UNITED STATES - Tags: HEADSHOT CRIME LAW TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY
Aaron Alexis, who the FBI believe to be responsible for the shootings at the Washington Navy Yard in the Southeast area of Washington, DC, is shown in this handout photo released by the FBI on September 16, 2013. The 34-year-old gunman opened fire at the U.S. Navy Yard in Washington on Monday in a shooting that left 13 people dead at the busy military installation not far from the U.S. Capitol and the White House, officials said. Alexis of Fort Worth, Texas, was among the dead and authorities said they were searching for another possible gunman wearing military-style clothing.

The U.S. capital became the latest American city to grapple with sickly familiar scenes of chaos and bloodshed today when a former military man opened fire at the city's navy yard, killing 12 people at the largest of the U.S. navy's five system commands.
While one gunman also was shot dead, police said there was one other potential perpetrator still at large, an armed man dressed in military garb who was being sought by police.
A third man, also clad in military-style outfit, was cleared as a suspect, police said.
"This is still an active investigation," said Washington police Chief Cathy Lanier, during an early evening news conference.
Another 14 people were injured, some critically, including a local police officer. The names of the victims have not yet been released.
U.S. navy Secretary Ray Mabus called the shooting "an attack on our navy family" in a brief statement released on YouTube, and offered the navy's support to the victims and their loved ones.
"We will come together as a family to deal with this," he said.
The dead shooter was identified as a 34-year-old Texas man, Aaron Alexis, a former navy reservist. The FBI appealed to the public to come forward with information about Alexis, born in the borough of Queens in New York City.
Alexis received a general discharge from the reserve in 2011 after a series of misconduct issues, according to a navy official who spoke on condition on anonymity. The official declined to provide details on the types of misconduct in Alexis's record.
A brief, official bio released by the navy indicated Alexis served as an electrician and was last stationed in Fort Worth, Texas.
More recently Alexis was an employee of a company called "The Experts," a subcontractor for an HP Enterprise Services military contract, Hewlett-Packard said.
HP said the contract was "to refresh equipment used on the Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) network."
He had "secret" clearance and was assigned to start working at the navy yard as a civilian contractor with a military-issued ID card.
The city's mayor, Vincent Gray, said officials had no reason to believe the shooting was an act of terrorism.
"We'll continue to seek information about what the motive is," he said. "We don't have any reason at this stage to suspect terrorism, but certainly it has not been ruled out."
In remarks from the White House, a terse U.S. President Barack Obama pointed out the regularity with which such shootings afflict the nation. The president tried unsuccessfully to push tougher gun control laws through Congress earlier this year following the horrific shooting in small-town Connecticut in December.
"We are confronting yet another mass shooting, and today it happened at a military installation in our nation's capital," Obama said. "We will do everything in our power to make sure whoever carried out this cowardly act is held responsible."
Initial reports suggested the dead shooter entered headquarters at the navy yard complex with stolen ID, fatally shot a security guard and was targeting specific people during his subsequent shooting rampage.
Eyewitnesses said the gunman situated himself at a fourth-floor overlook and was shooting down at people at the cafeteria on the first floor, creating panic and terror as people tried to flee the area. He had an AR-15 assault rifle, a shotgun and a pistol, police added.

"I heard three shots — pow, pow, pow. Thirty seconds later I heard four more shots," said Patricia Ward, a logistics management specialist who was in the cafeteria at the time.
"A lot of people were just panicking. There were no screams or anything because we were in shock."
It emerged Alexis was the subject of a police investigation in Fort Worth three years ago when he was arrested for discharging a firearm and shooting a hole through the ceiling of his home and into a neighbour's apartment.
There was no indication he was ever charged, and Alexis told police he was cleaning his gun went it went off accidentally.
But in the police report, the neighbour said she suspected Alexis had deliberately fired the gun through her floor because he had complained she made too much noise. She added she was "terrified" of Alexis.
He was also investigated for shooting out the tires of another man's car in Seattle in 2004. His father told police that his son suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and had helped in rescue efforts in New York City following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Monday's shootings prompted the temporary lockdown of D.C.'s Ronald Reagan National Airport and schools surrounding the navy yard, a historic complex in the city's southeast that dates back to the 18th century and is now the workplace for about 3,000 people.
A major-league baseball game between the Washington Nationals and the Atlanta Braves was also postponed. The baseball stadium is just a couple of blocks from the scene of the shootings.
Well into the evening, as navy yard employees were still filing out of the building, the city was on edge. Reports of shots fired at the White House turned out to be someone tossing firecrackers over the presidential residence's iron fence, the Secret Service said.
Police quickly apprehended the man.
The shooting made headlines on news sites around the world. A Russian official even weighed in — when the confirmed death toll was just seven — to mock Obama's insistence in a speech last week on Syria that the U.S. was "exceptional."
"A new shootout at Navy headquarters in Washington — a lone gunman and 7 corpses. Nobody's even surprised anymore," tweeted Alexey Pushkov, a member of the Russian parliamentary foreign affairs committee.
"A clear confirmation of American exceptionalism."
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, one of the U.S. Senate's biggest gun control advocates, called once again for stricter gun laws in the aftermath of yet another mass shooting.
"This is one more event to add to the litany of massacres that occur when a deranged person or grievance killer is able to obtain multiple weapons -- including a military-style assault rifle – and kill many people in a short amount of time," the California Democrat said in a statement.
"When will enough be enough? Congress must stop shirking its responsibility and resume a thoughtful debate on gun violence in this country. We must do more to stop this endless loss of life."

Owners brought their pets to the annual "Blessing of the Animals" today.
They gathered at the Lexington History Museum during the Farmer's Market.
Several animal rescue groups also brought the adoptable animals to receive the individual blessing.
And meet people who may be looking for pets, which organizers say many of those animals found homes today.
This tradition began as a way to honor Francis of Assisi, a 12th Century Italian who was known for his love of animals and the environment.

Avi Buffalo | 10/09/14
We are pleased to welcome new signing Avi Buffalo to the Domino family. Embarking upon a sophomore effort can be a daunting task for any young upstart, and there's no denying Avi Buffalo's own bar was set quite high with 2010's celebrated eponymous debut. Fear not, dear fans/family/friends/friends of friends/newcomers, there's nothing in this tale about The Second Album—a.k.a. At Best Cuckold, due September 8th in Europe and September 9th in North America on Sub Pop—that even remotely...
Planningtorock | 27/08/14
Jam Rostron, Bolton-born, Berlin-based is welcomed to the Domino Publishing family. The artist behind the multimedia recording and performance project Planningtorock, her 2014 LP 'All Love's Legal' is both an extension of her previous work and a refinement and of its ideas and sonics. Planningtorock has always incorporated politics into her music, but this is by far her most explicitly political record yet. It follows 'W', which was released on DFA in 2011, and her 2006 debut album...
Alec Koone aka Balam Acab, like Salem and oOoOO, traverse the same shadowy territories that seem at once sensual and unnerving. He creates something akin to Burial being slowly drowned in an ocean of Drone, a cybernetic limbo haunted by distant machine moans, those trademark ghostly digi-diva vocals positively lost in another world all together. His first EP 'See Birds' was released by the Tri Angle label in August 2010.
Balam Acab's debut full length album 'Wander/Wonder' came out on 29th August 2011 and it sees Koone furthering his majestic sound.

The million-dollar car crash
A crash near the casino in Monaco involved not one but a total of 5 extremely high-priced cars. The estimated repair bill seems low, considering.
A five-car pileup with no injuries is a snooze -- unless a Bentley Azure hits four other extremely expensive luxury cars outside the casino in Monaco. That's worldwide news.
A blue Azure (Bentley's "flagship convertible" with an MSRP of $363,000 for a new model) crunched the side of a white Mercedes S-Class (starting at $93,000), then struck a black Ferrari F430 ($230,000). Then an Aston Martin Rapide ($210,000) and a Porsche 911 Carrera (starting at $77,800) were also damaged, according to published reports.
"It appears the woman clipped the Mercedes S-Class first before ploughing into the other cars," The Monaco Times reports.
It happened in a roundabout in Monte Carlo, which is in the wealthy principality of Monaco, putting on quite a show for the multitude of tourists. (Some of the best photos can be found here.)
"Her gaffe in front of Monaco's swanky Place du Casino has become an overnight news sensation, with many labeling it the world's most expensive accident," wrote AsiaOne in Singapore.
Jack Bellamy wrote in England's Daily Star, "This was the moment a dippy blonde caused the world's most expensive shunt when she pranged five luxury motors." (Shunt? Pranged? Speak English, man!) Post continues after video.
It is estimated the crash will cost more than £40,000 (about $65,700) with the Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin requiring new front wings and bumpers. The Bentley will need the same repairs, plus a new door.
Some unoriginal thinkers felt compelled to point out that the driver is a blonde. In fact, the Daily Mail called her a "hapless blonde."
What could such a crash do to a Bentley owner's insurance rates?
According to MSN Money's insurance rate finder, the yearly premium for Porsche 911s is about $2,300 to $3,100. The Bentley is not listed there. Nor does it appear at Edmunds.com's True Cost to Own search tool. Car insurance companies won't give you a quote unless you own one (I don't), but several discussion forums mentioned a monthly cost of $500 to $600.
Of course, a lot depends on your driving record, including whether you've caused any accidents.

Jasper, MN (KELO AM) - According to a complaint filed in Rock County, MN, 25 year old Christopher Weber was using his cell phone to check his bank accounts when he struck and killed Andrea Boeve with his pickup.
The complaint says that Weber gave a statement to police immediately following the incident saying he was on a touchtone banking call and waiting for the prompt he wanted when he heard the impact of his pickup striking the bicycle. He said he does not recall seeing her at all before the crash, and he immediately pulled over and tried to perform first aid on the victims.
The complaint also states that Boeve's daughters were sent to the Luverne hospital, where one of them was treated and released, the other suffered a punctured lung and broken ribs.
Weber faces charges of operating a vehicle in a negligent manner and vehicular homicide, which could mean up to 13 years in prison and $30,000 in fines.
A memorial fund has been set up for the surviving family members, with online donations accepted through gofundme.

Why Zip Makes Avis a Good Buy
Howard is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
As many of you Foolish investors may know, the car-sharing service Zipcar (UNKNOWN: ZIP.DL2) was bought for $511 million ($12.25 per share) by Avis Budget Group (NASDAQ: CAR) in a Dec. 21 acquisition. With this acquisition Avis is gaining more control of the car-sharing service, but can the company continue to compete in the car-rental industry?
How the Car Rental Industry Looks.
The acquisition of Zipcar is just the latest in the battle to control the car rental industry. Back in October Hertz Global Holdings (NYSE: HTZ) bought out Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, outbidding Avis. This means that the car rental playing field is controlled by Avis, Hertz, and Enterprise. Hertz's acquisition of Dollar Thrifty practically forced Avis to go for Zipcar to keep up, and now has the potential to help Avis take over the the car-sharing market.
The Value of Zipcar
Zipcar was founded in 2000 and offers membership based car-sharing. One of the first companies to enter the new market of car-sharing, they also have experience in acquisitions, buying Streetcar in 2010 and Avancar in 2012. The company is still in a high growth phase and is only available in large cities, but it's expanding everyday. Revenue has consistently increased every quarter of 2012, and quarter for quarter is up from 2011.
Avis, however, did pay a top premium with the buyout, giving Zip a P/E ratio of 60. This shows that either Avis believes in Zip's business model or just wanted to close the deal fast. On top of growing out to new cities and towns, Zip plans to bring more options to their customers with Zip for businesses, Zip for government, and a new electric fleet. With a Price to Book ratio of 1.4 before the acquisition, fundamentals look strong for the growing company that expects earnings to double in 2013 and 2014.
The Value of Avis
Avis is currently trading at a P/E of 15, which is a pretty fair pricing. On the other hand, Hertz currently trades at a 23 P/E. Avis has posted consistent and growing revenue for the past eight quarters, while EPS has fluctuated. In the past quarter Avis posted a $2.62 EPS compared to the $0.74 the previous quarter. Avis also has its bad statistics; long term debt to equity ratio is 13.6 and sales in 2011 were down 6.5% from 2008.
My Conclusion
Zip, an attractive growth business, is the leader of the car-sharing market with a large potential that Avis will be able to grow faster, and farther than Zip previously had the ability to. While Avis may not be the clear winner in the rental car business, Zip gives them some leverage in the war that will be waged between Hertz and Avis. Zipcar was a good looking company that made Avis a buy for those who want to get in on the potential market of car-sharing and for those who believe the upside of car rental business will return with a good economy.

Hello friends. Hope you made it through election week and another nor'easter unscathed. I was pretty shocked when the rain in Boston turned to snow on Wednesday afternoon, even more so when I went to take the trash out that night and realized I was going to have to get up a bit early the next morning to warm up the cars and clean them off. Winter is here, my friends, so I hope you took full advantage of that extra hour we got last weekend and are fully rested.

She Gave Him Her Look, It Would Have Worked On Any Other Man Around
Family Guy
celebrates its 200th episode on Sunday night, a major accomplishment for a TV series and one it took perhaps the strangest route in TV history to get to. The animated comedy premiered to an amazing 22 million viewers when Fox gave it the coveted post-Super Bowl slot in 1999, and the show averaged just under 13 million viewers a week during that first season as well as a ton of press; there was a ton of controversy about a cartoon dealing with such adult material. For season two Fox put it on Thursdays at 9pm up against NBC's megahit
and ratings dropped, causing the network to take the show out of that spot and run it seemingly randomly. They then put the show up against
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
, at the time a pop culture phenomenon, and ratings dropped more. Fox announced they had cancelled the show after two seasons but then changed their minds, ordering a 13 episode third season.
For season three Fox put it on Thursdays at 8pm, up against
, and the show continued to flounder in the ratings, which led to the network cancelling the show again, this time for good. Or not.
Cartoon Network started airing reruns of
Family Guy
in their Adult Swim block in April of 2003 to astounding success, regularly topping not just cable but broadcast TV in the time slot. At the same time seasons one and two were released on DVD and sold 400,000 in the first month. By the end of 2003 they had sold over 2 million copies, making it the top selling TV DVD of the year and ranking as one of the best selling TV DVD sets of all-time. All of this led Fox to order a 35 episode fourth season of the show, almost two years to the date of cancelling it. 11.85 million watched the season four premiere in the spring of 2005, the most watched episode since midway through season one. While the ratings have dropped somewhat since then, the show is regularly one of the network's top demo performers and has led to the spinoff
The Cleveland Show
, another strong performer for Fox.
One of the amazing things about the show is despite its outrageousness and expression of creator Seth MacFarlane's liberal politics, its fans cross ever demographic you can imagine, including age, gender, political party, and religion. Fans seem to appreciate the show's take-no-prisoners attitude and the consistency in which it lampoons the stupidity of others, regardless of who they are; in other words, they are the living embodiment of an equal opportunity offender.
The show has also made pop culture references an art form and musical numbers a semi-regular event, with fans enjoying watching and re-watching episodes ad nauseam to catch little things they may have missed the first or second (or third or fourth) time around.
I'd love for
Family Guy
fans to use the comments section below to list off their favorite moments and episodes in the show's history.
All My Friends Call Me A Fool, They Say, "Let The Woman Take Care Of You"
Disney is in the early stages of development on
Girl Meets World
, a sequel to the long running 1990's ABC comedy
Boy Meets World
that would focus on the tween-age daughter of Corey and Topanga. The network has reached out to Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel about reprising their roles in this new show.
The pilot script will apparently find Corey as a high school history teacher (yes, he has become Mr. Feeney), with the "girl" of the title being his and Topanga's thirteen year old Riley. The Matthews also have a son, teenager Elliot.
Anyone who doubts the love folks have for
should have checked out the TTTP FB page on Saturday morning when we posted this story as it was lit up with "Likes" and comments. While re-boots rarely work, this is a case where it actually makes a ton of sense, combining subject matter the network specializes in with characters that the audience is already familiar with. For folks (like myself) who watched
earlier in life, the chance to watch a sequel to the show with our own kids is something quite cool.
To me this project lives or dies based solely on if Savage and Fishel sign on; without both of them there really is no point, and with both of them it's likely they could get other members of the original cast back – Ryder Strong, William Daniels – even if just in guest spots. We are HUGE Fishel fans from her work on
The Dish
and think TV is a better place in general when she is on it on a regular basis.
Come Into These Arms Again And Lay Your Body Down, The Rhythm Of This Beating Heart Is Trembling Like A Drum
The co-writer (John Logan) and director (Sam Mendes) of the new James Bond movie
are teaming up for a new TV project about vampire hunters. Set in 1800's London, the story is similar in theme to
The League of Extraordinary Gentleman
in that it would feature already well known characters like Van Helsing and Dr. Frankenstein teaming up to track down and kill vampires. Logan has been nominated for Oscars for writing/co-writing
Gladiator, Hugo
, and
The Aviator
and Mendes won an Oscar for directing
American Beauty
. This new project is currently being shopped to cable networks like HBO and Showtime.
Anytime the creative forces behind what will be the second biggest movie of the year - the biggest movie of the year not named
The Avengers
– bring a series to TV it's a story, more so when those two people have such strong resumes, and then when you factor in that said project not only deals with subject matter that is quite popular these days and involves characters the audience is already familiar with, you've got the makings of something potentially quite interesting. Call it
Once Upon a Time
if you want but that's a pitch I am buying. That it is being designed for cable likely means a high budget, a smaller episode count (which can ensure quality, tight storytelling), and quality graphic violence and nudity, and there is nothing about this sentence I am not fully on board with.

, with the network partnering up with Netflix for a third season of the mystery/drama. Series leads Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman will return, and one of the main factors in bringing the show back - other than being able to divide the budget in two - was a strong plot pitch from showrunner Veena Sud. The plan seems to be to air the episodes on AMC first, with immediate availability on Netflix…Fox has cut the mid-season replace comedy
The Goodwin Games
order from 13 to 7 episodes. Usually this is a bad sign about a show's future but in this case it may have more to do with the network picking up 2 more episodes than usual of
New Girl, The Mindy Project
, and
Raising Hope
. The comedy stars Becki Newton, Scott Foley, and TJ Miller as estranged siblings who reunite after the death of their Father to deal with the rather odd stipulations in his will. Chances are

co-creator Hart Hanson tells TVGuide.com that he knows how this season will end and that he knows how the series will end but he's not sure if this will be the show's last season, saying, "we have to be ready to end the series but we are very, very confident of having a Season 9. If we don't get a Season 9, then... we have to combine [the two endings]"…
Turns Out Not Where But Who You're With That Really Matters
(The Best of What's Around aka The Best Thing I've Watched In The Last 7 Days…)
I was very excited for Louis C.K. to host
Saturday Night Live
and was not let down by the reality, which included what I think is the best sketch/segment of the season so far…
wasn't the only good segment of the night; C.K. also did a very funny opening monologue…
And the cold open was pretty good, too…
Even the bad sketches, like Zorg, got laughs, even if for the wrong reasons. This will likely go down as one of the stronger episodes of the SNL season and hopefully opened up C.K.'s comedy to a bit more of the mainstream; as much I love
, it's on FX, meaning more people watch
Guys with Kids
on a weekly basis.
People Say I'm Crazy Doing What I'm Doing. Well, They Give Me All Kinds Of Warnings To Save Me From Ruin
What's flashed before my eyes the last seven days…
I think the above qualifies as the best individual performance on
The Voice
this season…While the whole giant/beanstalk part of the episode was pretty blah, this week's
Once Upon A Time
certainly proved that Michael Raymond-James (
Terriers, True Blood
) should be fully employed at all times. And when I say the giant part was blah I mean the special effects and the wasting of Jorge Garcia on a part that could have been played by anyone; the interaction between Hook and Emma was pretty good…
The Walking Dead
literally takes my breath away sometimes, high praise for a cynical TV veteran like myself…Really enjoyed the
Next Iron Chef
season premiere; as I said last week, this is easily one of the strongest collections of culinary talents ever assembled for a TV series…If I made a list of the most pleasant surprises of the 2012-2013 TV season, Charles "Chip" Esten - Deacon on
- would be at the top. While he's done dramatic work before (including a stint on
Big Love
), I really only knew him from his hysterical work on
Whose Line is it Anyway
, both the British and American versions, so I was in no way expecting his wonderfully underplayed, world weary performance. And the dude can sing, too!!!...This week's
was entertaining enough and we did get some interesting back story but it was another "the team faces insurmountable odds and finds a way to come through, killing a bunch of folks in the process and yet coming through without a scratch." Yes, Charlie did get a tattoo out of it but not in the fighting part. I will say that Miles saying, "yeah, well, we're saving this one" gave me mini-chills and further established him as the best anti-hero TV has seen since Sawyer…Maybe if I keep talking about how high quality a comedy series
The Middle
is, criminally underrated because it's not hip and it's entirely devoid of detached irony or any meta moments, then people will finally start giving it the credit it deserves. Patricia Heaton has a pretty impressive track record, two very different starring roles on two of the better family comedies of the last 15 years…
The League
is off to its best start in series history, spinning familiar situations into wonderfully extreme and absurd dark comedy. The show's use of Rafi is a master class in how to get the most out of a recurring character without going to the well too often…Every season
Flipping Out
amazes me with the honesty it gets out of the cast; sure, Jeff Lewis is over the top but that's no act for the camera and I would say he knows himself as well as anyone in all of reality TV…I love that
finds new ways to surprise me, with moments like the one near the end of last Sunday's episode that remind you of the stakes of the game these folks are playing. I am not saying the show has the best cast on TV but I am confident there is not a show with one that's better, that's for sure…
TV Pick Of The Week
Mankind The Story of All of Us
has nothing to do with Mick Foley but instead is a new ten part History docu-series that looks at, well, the history of mankind. Josh Brolin narrates this unique look at where we started, where we've been, and where we are.
Don't miss the premiere of
Mankind The Story of All of Us
, Tuesday at pm on History.
Hope You Need My Love, Babe, Just Like I Need You
Other noteworthy viewing options from the next seven days…
*While I found the new TBS hour long comedy
Wedding Band
to be harmlessly entertaining, the network can't have very high hopes for it if they are running it on Saturdays at 10pm (?!?!?!)…
Chris Hardwick: Madroid
, the first stand up special I am aware of him doing, premieres Saturday at 11pm on Comedy Central. If you like geeky pop culture references, this is really must see TV.
*ABC Family is airing the world premiere of the "special edition" of
The Notebook
on Sunday at 8pm, with 10 minutes of deleted scene. Aside from being perhaps the best romance movie of the last 15 years, it also contains what is likely the last great performance from the legendary James Garner. If you're a Garner fan, you really have to see this movie.
Top Gear: Fifty Years of Bond Cars
(Monday, 8:30pm, BBC America), is, well exactly what it sounds like.
*I am thrilled that, with the election behind us, we've got all new comedies on Tuesday night, including
Raising Hope, Ben and Kate, New Girl, The Mindy Project, Happy Endings, Don't Trust the B-, Go On
, and
The New Normal
*The kids at McKinley High put on
this week on
(Thursday, 9pm). I know this because my twins have been listening to the soundtrack of this episode nonstop for the last 10 days.
Eddie Murphy: One Night Only
(Wednesday, 10pm, Spike) is a tribute special featuring some pretty big stars come to lay verbal bouquets at the comedy superstar's feet.
*The new Rolling Stones documentary
Crossfire Hurricane
premieres Thursday at 9pm on HBO…

Prostate brachytherapy
Brachytherapy is a procedure to implant radioactive "seeds" into the prostate gland to kill prostate cancer cells. Implants may be short-term or permanent. They may give off high or low amounts of radiation.
Alternative Names
Implant therapy - prostate cancer; Radioactive seed placement
Brachytherapy takes 30 minutes or more, depending on the type of therapy you have. Before the procedure, you will be given medicine so that you do not feel pain. You may receive:
- A sedative to make you drowsy and numbing medicine on your perineum (the area between your anus and rectum).
- Spinal anesthesia. You will be drowsy but awake, and numb below your waist.
- General anesthesia. You will be asleep and pain free.
After you receive anesthesia:
- Your doctor will place an ultrasound probe into your rectum to see the area. The probe is like a camera connected to a video monitor in the room. Your doctor might also place a Foley catheter (tube) in your bladder to drain urine.
- Your doctor will use ultrasound or a CT scan to place the "pellets" that deliver radiation into your prostate. The pellets will be placed with needles or special applicators through your perineum.
- Placing the pellets may hurt a little.
Types of brachytherapy
- Low-dose brachytherapy is the most common type of treatment. The pellets stay inside your prostate and emit a small amount of radiation for several months. You go about your normal routine with the pellets in place.
- High-dose brachytherapy lasts about 30 minutes. Your doctor will insert the radioactive material into the prostate. The doctor may use a computerized robot. The radioactive material is removed after treatment.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Brachytherapy is often used for men with smaller prostate cancer that is found early and is slow-growing. Brachytherapy has fewer complications and side effects than standard radiation therapy. You will also need fewer visits with the doctor.
See also: Radical prostatectomy
Risks for any anesthesia are:
- Allergic reactions to medicines
- Breathing problems
Risks for any surgery are:
- Bleeding
- Infection
Risks for this procedure are:
- Urinary problems
- Rectal urgency, or the feeling that you need to have a bowel movement right away
- Skin irritation in your rectum or bleeding from your rectum
- Impotence
Rare problems are ulcers (sores) or fistulas (openings) in the rectum, scarring, and narrowing of your urethra (the tube that carries urine from your bladder out of your body).
Before the Procedure
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
Before this procedure:
- You may need to have ultrasounds, x-rays, or CT scans to prepare for the procedure.
- You may be asked to stop taking drugs that make it hard for your blood to clot several days before the procedure. Some of these are aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil), clopidogrel (Plavix), and warfarin (Coumadin).
- Ask your doctor which drugs you should still take on the day of the surgery.
- If you smoke, try to stop. Your doctor or nurse can help.
On the day of the procedure:
- You will usually be asked not to drink or eat anything for several hours before the procedure.
- Take your drugs your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.
- Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
After the Procedure
After an outpatient therapy procedure, you can return home as soon as the anesthesia wears off. Very rarely, you will need to spend 1 to 2 days in the hospital.
If you have a permanent implant, your doctor may tell you to limit the amount of time you spend around children and women who are pregnant for a while after the procedure.
You may be sleepy and have some mild pain and tenderness after the procedure. If you stay in the hospital, your visitors will need to follow special radiation safety precautions.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most people remain cancer-free or have good control of their cancer for many years after this treatment. Some urinary and rectal symptoms may last for months. One common urinary problem is the inability to empty the bladder and you may need to have a Foley catheter (tube) in place to drain the bladder temporarily.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - A World War II veteran was finally laid to rest in Green Bay Sunday, 68 years after his military plane crashed in Germany.
Army Lieutenant James Des Jardins was 21 for only a week when his B-51 Mustang was shot down.
A dredging effort uncovered the wreckage. And the pilot's uncle, Outagamie County Circuit Judge John Des Jardins, said he was shocked when he was notified about his nephew last year.
James' older brother Earl was killed just two months before him, in a B-24 plane crash in Europe.
And after all these years, John Des Jardins said his family feels a sense of closure and peace. He said he wanted Sunday's service to be uplifting and patriotic, and not a time of sadness. He said James' friends are gone – and he said now is a time for respect, and thank those in his generation who did so much to preserve American freedoms.
James Des Jardins was buried with full honors next to his brother Earl where they grew up in Green Bay. A flyover was canceled due to Sunday's rain, but Patriot Guard members led a funeral procession on motorcycles.

This is the configuration I used to get lighttpd to serve up the results of AxMan.
server.document-root = "/home/magnusth/tmp/axman/www/"
server.port = 8080
index-file.names = ( "index.html" )
mimetype.assign = (
".html" => "text/html",
Nice! I needed a thin webserver for posting a "We're sorry, but our service seems to be on fire…" placeholder page to placate users during extended outages. While we're currently using Apache, I want to reduce the footprint of the "sorry" announcement and the example lighttpd config was just too much to wade through. I added entries for server.username and server.groupname so the "sorry" docroot could lie within the (broken) application directory and there'd be no issue with users and permissions.
All this gets stuffed into our configuration management system (Puppet) so as we deploy servers, lighttpd is automatically installed and configured on the boxes that need it.
tks for the effort you put in here I appreciate it!

Evolution: "just a theory". Scientific caution is sometimes confusing.
The fact that our best available theories are still speculations misleads some people to believe that these ideas are not founded. Hence, some people suppose their uneducated opinion is just as bad, or as good, as the mainstream scientific hypothesis.
This trend is probably led by the way science has been taught, i e as a flawless method that offers facts about reality.
And by pre-scientific philosophy, still strong in our modern societies.
Evolution is "just a theory" the way Notre Dame is "just a pile of rocks", isn't it?

Jun 7 2013: I want to ask all of those not believing in revolution to consider the simple question why unlike other creatures humans walk on their foots. As far as I know there is no answer in any religious. However revolution theory has a very simple explanation for this. How can we deny revolution when 60 % DNA of any kind of life being is similar.
Mike Colera 30+Jun 7 2013: I heard that some distant ancestor found reproduction was more fun if the parties involved were face to face. Attempting to achieve this position, the pelvic girdle gradually shifted forward and walking upright followed.
It amuses me to think that sex was a primarily force in human evolution.
Being reminded that I am 2/3 earthworm does nothing for my sense of self worth, or self importance, or sense of mental acuity.
Jun 9 2013: I think that that was just a friends hear-say. I know of no theory supporting this.
There are 10 theories on Wiki, none of them concerning face to face sex.
Jun 10 2013: Jimmy, life exists because living creatures procreate. Living creatures procreate because they have sex. They are driven to have sex because they get pleasure from it. So, why do you deny that having more pleasure from sex is not a driving factor of evolution? And why is this explanation any worse or better than the other 10?
I think, we can find 2000 reasons why having our hands free has evolutionary advantage - from having face-to-face sex to being able to pick our nose. Do any of them really explain why we walk on 2 legs or are we, as usual, trying to find the reason for something that already exists without any reason for it?
Jun 10 2013: Arkady, yes sex is a necessity for life.
There are some dominant theories out there, it is not valid to just have them tested against me. If you think that you've found some true explanation you should have it tested and verified, it will widen our knowledge of many things.
But I still think that the thesis is invalid, mainly because I've never heard of any scientific explanation and I haven't been able to find one.
Tell me, do you think that the scientific method is the best way of finding truth? If not, we really shouldn't be discussion this because it will lead nowhere.
Jun 7 2013: Walking ostriches is another proof for revolution. Because they can observe predator's existence on their foot more easily.That's why they equipped with long necks. Revolution modifies ostrich's shape in this way which is absolutely compatible with their surrounding and increases chance of survive. That is exactly what has happened to humans through 2 or 3 million years. When our ancestors lived on trees, After eating all foods they had to descend from the tree and wend a little on the ground to find another food resources. But the ground was filled with pernicious animals and the distance between trees was very high due to climate condition of that time. Therefore, nature forced them stand on their foot to have a better picture about their surrounding. Through thousands of year and revolution they gained the ability of running to evade predators. About the birds, I think their foot's shape helps them in landing or taking-off process. Having extra foots or hands increase a bird's weight which makes flying impossible for them.

How many languages is it possible to know?
I admit that I am not a genius. I have never had an idea that I would end up speaking more than one language but it happened.. in my early 20s I found myself speaking more than 4 languages... few years later a coupe of languages came along and I learned them as well... Why? I don't know.
true to be told I didn't go to university for this, I only went for Communication Science. after learning all those languages, it made me believe;
if I can, then anyone can (but maybe not everyone)
How many languages do you speak?
If you could learn one more foreign langues, what would it be?
What stopped you from learning more than one (if you speak only one)
why is it so important to learn any foreign language when we want a global village, and what language should be spoken in that village?
an interesting article to be read about the capacity and ability of human brain in learning and knowing languages:
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Apr 1 2013: It's important that we define what it means to 'know' a language. Is it a certain sensibility with a cultures idiomatic thought? Learning a language seems a continual imperative, it is just too easy to become complacent. With thought characterized by expression nobody can think by naming. In many ways this has more to do with definition and our discretion with it.
I know your question had a more practical orientation than what I am referring to but it's consequential that the semantics of the issue is resolved.

Pomegranate Bourbon Cocktail
Pomegranate molasses is a gem of an ingredient that often gets overlooked. This sweet and tart syrup adds the perfect pop of flavor to cocktails—especially whiskey based ones.
Since the molasses packs a tart punch, a hint of orange juice brings a bit of sweet acidity to balance it out. Bourbon brings a rich, sweet booziness that stands up to the bold flavor of the pomegranate molasses, while a splash of pomegranate juice adds a little color and juiciness to the drink. The result is a cocktail that's packed with bright, bold and warm flavors perfect for a cool day.

Due to an error in the East Greenwich Pendulum today, the list of 2013 high school graduates is not complete. The Pendulum apologizes for the error and the full list will run in next weeks issue on June 20. The following is a complete list of the 2013 East Greenwich High School graduates.
PROVIDENCEŌĆö It was made quite clear during Thursday nightŌĆÖs informational session that state government officials are astounded that neither the Coventry Town Council nor School Committee want to take responsibility for the severely underfunded School Related Personnel pension plan.
Members of the RI Pension Study Commission held a roundtable discussion to try and initiate conversation between CoventryŌĆÖs school related personnel (SRP), their board of trustees, the school committee and the town council.
COVENTRY ŌĆō No matter how the coin is flipped, Coventry residents are either looking at a 3.5 percent increase in property taxes or vital services will be cut.
KINGSTON ŌĆō Robert A. Weygand, the University of Rhode IslandŌĆÖs vice president for administration and finance, is stepping down from his position as of June 30.
However, he will not be leaving the university.
Weygand, 65, who announced his plan to step down in October, will be assuming a teaching position, serve as the director of the masterŌĆÖs of public administration program and teach in the universityŌĆÖs honors program.
NARRAGANSETT- Local residents have joined together to bring back the sense of community in Narragansett. A resident of Narragansett for more than 40 years, Marie Younkin-Waldman created the organization WhereŌĆÖs the Town? (WTT) in Fall 2011, in hopes of rejuvenating the Pier.
WTT will do its part on Sunday, June 9, as the organization holds its second annual Seaside Village Fair from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Pier Marketplace.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō The Prout School graduated 146 seniors Tuesday at the University of Rhode IslandŌĆÖs Ryan Center.
The Class of 2013 received their diplomas at the schoolŌĆÖs 45th graduation ceremony, which marked the bittersweet end of their four years at the Catholic school.
The Seaside Fair at Pier Marketplace in Narragansett has been re-scheduled, because of rain, from Saturday, June 8 to Sunday, June 9. The event, sponsored by 'Where's The Town,' will take place 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Best to all!

PROVIDENCEŌĆöRep. Larry Valencia (Dist. 39ŌĆöRichmond, Exeter, Hopkinton) presented the latest version of House Bill 6160 to the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, legislation which would remove the town clerk in Exeter from being responsible for approving concealed weapons permits to residents.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn.ŌĆöNorth Kingstown resident Gary Anusavice pleaded guilty on Monday in a federal courtroom to charges of health care fraud and tax evasion.
EAST GREENWICH ŌĆö Relief. Anxiousness. Excitement. Bittersweet feelings. Optimism.
There are many emotions and senses that seniors experience in the waning days and weeks of their high-school careers leading up to when they make that long walk, dressed in the traditional cap and gown, to receive their much-deserved diplomas.
Those same emotions are swimming through the minds of valedictorian Christina Lusi, salutatorian Jack Payette and their fellow friends and classmates whom make up the East Greenwich High School Class of 2013, which will share the bright spotlights hanging down from the rafters at Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Providence on Sunday.

Bethenny Frankel's new talk show Bethenny has been on the airwaves hardly any time at all. That hasn't stopped the powers that be from whispering about its imminent demise. They barely let the woman get her sea-legs and now it looks like the show is virtually doomed, coming in at unlucky number 13 in the ratings.
Her former Real Housewives cast-mates aren't doing much to help matters. Though to be fair, it doesn't sound like Bethenny's given them any reason to. In a last-ditch attempt to bolster her ratings, she scrambled (or rather, her producers scrambled) to bring on the other Housewives for a faux reunion. Yeah. No one was having that.
If anyone had any real reason to be miffed with Bethenny for this lame-o tactic, it was Jill Zarin. But even Jill was more just sort of quietly hurt that Bethenny wouldn't pick up the phone herself. It's not often I'm Team Jill, but I have to make an exception here. Very déclassé of Bethenny, if you ask me.
But that doesn't mean I'm going to go around calling her INSANE NAMES. That is because I am not Kelly Bensimon, who, just in time for Halloween, decided to share her real and shocking feelings about Bethenny. What she had to say was extreme and bizarre, to say the least:
She is just a sensationalist. She will suck the blood from your child to get ratings! I am so over her.
Uhhhh don't hold back or anything, Kelly. Thanks to this colorful statement, I'm left picturing Bethenny grabbing babies from strollers and flying off into the night. If Bethenny's a vampire, what does that make Ramona Singer, a banshee? Does that makes LuAnn De Lesseps a mummy? It totally does, you guys. It totally does.
Did you think Kelly's comment was too extreme?

Kelly after Ms Im so PERFECT called you Crazy looked who ended up with a Shrink on her own program ha ha ha you never did Kelly so who is the real Crazy Betheny the Bitch. She had the perfect husband and child she ended up just like her mom and $$$$$$$$ is the only thing she wants her daughter will be her payback.
You were always my favorite normal person
Kelly is kray-kray
Sorry Kelly you had your 5 minutes.Are you still roller skating through down town trafic?Wow you are so funny girl.What Im thinking your 47 am I close............YOUR A NOBODY:(
They are all so jelly of Bethannie, Kelly is a fruit cake...someone needs to get her some help, nothing she says makes sense....

Look, I sympathize, I do. I sat home years in a row watching people I would DIE to see (caps on DIE because I mean it for emphasis not actually as in keel over) go to a conference and meet each other and laugh and have cheezburgers and DAMNTHEM. Except I didn't damn them. I wanted to go. I was a little bit jealous. But I was secure in my own self and I knew one year I'd go, too. And if I didn't, it was ok. They were still my favorite bloggers/friends/girl crushes.
This year, though, I'm going. And I'd like to tote you alone with me in my laptop.
During my years teaching at the college level, I had a few unfortunate run-ins with a type of student that is becoming too prevalent in our society. You know, the "do nothing earn an A" types. You all know the type: The student that never makes class, somehow manages to blame the instructor and cries until he gets an A? And by cry, I mean Real Tears And All, people.
It's not just the old "My dog ate my homework" excuse. It's deeper. It's every day. Every assignment. Every test.
Not al kids are this way but talking to old Professors,... Read more
It's nigh. That Conference I won a trip to? That Conference I practically shit myself in total an utter fear because OH MAI GAWD I get to meet
It's no secret we're done having children. In fact, we're a little gun-shy in the whole "boink-a-boink-a" department because of it. In the words of Mr. Flinger, "I am a potent man!"
Now, it's not so much a good thing.
However, I have friends who want, crave, try to have children. Who may not get the opportunity. Who undergo treatments, stress, financial burden all to obtain the thing I take for granted on a daily basis: Motherhood.
It's a little bit astonishing to me how much I don't appreciate my own gift... Read more
You know that I live in Seattle, which really does mean it's sunny six times a year here. Okok, sorry, eight if you count those two days in Winter. (Picky Picky) At any rate, being in such a northern state means I'm prone to bi-polar skin. Uhhu. My skin is six degrees of tan depending on what you look at.
For example:
The Sister is coming to town today. The Laundry is being finished. The Stairs have been vacuumed. The Kids are excited.
The Beer has been stocked.
This week will be heavy on the photos. It's not that there aren't wonderful stories of laughing, singing, and drinking to go along with them, it's that there is so much laughing, drinking and singing going on that I can't write them.
Not yet anyway.
So join me in what is sure to become "PHOTOBLOG WEEK 2008" among the blogosphere. Or at least in Flingerville.
This week's post comes to you via Mr. Flinger and the Beard That Isn't.
As Mom, I have the ability, nay, the right to make up laws the family must follow. These can, and will, change at whim. This law, however, has been around since the dawn of our marriage, well before children and obligations and stress:
Law 2 section 1.2 reads as such:
If the sun is streaming in to the room and makes [watching tv] [being on the computer] [playing video games] too difficult, it is time to go outside.
Don't break law #2 this weekend, kids. You don't want to know Law #3.

I'm being deployed. How do I tell my child?
- Deb
Parents who are being deployed walk a fine line. They know they have to prepare their children for the challenges ahead, yet they don't want to worry them any more than necessary.
The best thing to do is to tell kids the truth — that Mom or Dad has to go away to do their job for our country — and to give explanations at a level they can understand. For example, young children have a limited concept of time, so their worries tend to focus on their daily routine (Who will take me to school in the morning? Who will tuck me in at night?). They need to know who'll be caring for them and keeping them safe in your absence.
Older kids, on the other hand, might have more concerns about the length of the separation and your well being. Reassure them as best you can that you are well trained to do your job and that every effort will be made to keep you safe.
Let children know it's OK to miss you — you'll be missing them, too. Talk about the ways you will keep your relationship strong — email, letters, photos, videos, even promising to think of each other at the same time every day. And finally, be sure to spend plenty of one-on-one time with your child in the days and weeks before your departure. These are the memories your child will hold on to until you return.

I like the seat but needed to make a new sling because it wasn't wide enough. It would be nice if it was easier to get the seat off so that a replacement could be put in. For the weight the seat allows it really needs to be a bit wider.1/9/2013 7:28 AMWas this review helpful? Yes / No (0/0)

I received my sling seat cane today and it looks great. The reason that I bought it was when I travel I need a place to sit because of the problems that I have standing. This item looks like it will fill my needs and look forward to using it soon. I weight 245 and I was afraid that it would not hold me but trying it out it seems to be okay. When I use it I wpn't be sitting on it all of the time only when I would have to stop and stand. I would recomend this for anybody who has problems standing for long periods of time.10/3/2013 10:53 PMWas this review helpful? Yes / No (0/0)

The decade's 10 best-paid CEOs
Over 10 years, the top-paid chief execs collected a total of $7.64 billion. But the mixed results for their companies suggest some earned it and some did not.
Related topics: Apple, Michael Brush, Oracle, Occidental Petroleum, Yahoo
The growing gap between what CEOs and the rest of us earn makes great fodder for debate, so here's a number to chat about: $7.64 billion. That's what the top 10 best-paid CEOs of the millennium -- OK, the millennium so far -- have earned as a group.
For most, that didn't come in the weekly paycheck. "The key for most of these was gobs of stock options," says Paul Hodgson of GovernanceMetrics International, a global corporate governance research firm.
Many also got generous grants of restricted stock and pricey perks, like use of the company jet for personal trips.
Do they deserve this largesse? You be the judge. In some cases, stock prices soared, which demonstrates the professed purpose of options and restricted stock -- motivating the boss.
"All of these companies dramatically outperformed at some point, or they wouldn't have gotten on the list," says Kevin Murphy of the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business, who originally compiled this list for The Wall Street Journal.
In other cases, though, stock prices have fallen -- and in the most extreme, the company collapsed on the CEO's watch.
Murphy based his study on pay numbers for 2000-2009; 2010 tallies won't be available until companies report in the New Year. He included salary, gains on options at the time they were exercised, the value of restricted stock at the time it was vested and the value of other forms of pay, including perks. His 10 best-paid CEOs follow.
10. William McGuire, UnitedHealth: $469.3 million
From the start of 2000 through November 2006, UnitedHealth (UNH, news) CEO William McGuire made $420.1 million on stock options. Throw in salary, bonus pay and other compensation, and McGuire's total take during his tenure was $469.3 million, putting him in the No. 10 slot for CEO pay in the last decade.
Shareholders did well, too. UnitedHealth's stock performance during the same period turned $10,000 into $70,708.
But this story has an odd twist.
Despite all the wealth McGuire pocketed legitimately, he got caught up in the options-backdating scandal, in which grant dates were selected retroactively to attain better pricing on options.
Michael Brush
"Clearly half a billion dollars wasn't enough," says Hodgson. McGuire ultimately paid back more than $600 million to UnitedHealth, a settlement that covered money earned on options prior to the last decade -- he started as CEO in 1991. In settling the matter, McGuire neither admitted or denied guilt.
9. Henry Silverman, Cendant: $481.2 million
As CEO of Cendant, a travel and real-estate services company, Henry Silverman last decade got a lot more than the normal options, bonus and salary, which often came under attack from pay critics for being four times the industry average. But a big part of his $481.2 million take came in the form of lavish perks, including retirement plan and life insurance payments, a corporate jet and a company car and driver. The value of these perks totaled $89 million from the start of 2000 through August 2006, when Silverman split up the company. Shareholders did not do as well though: An investment of $10,000 over the same period would have dwindled to $5,119.
8. Terry Semel, Yahoo: $489.6 million
Terry Semel joined Yahoo (YHOO, news) in early May 2001 to lead repair efforts at the website and search-engine company after the tech bubble burst. He did a good job and was rewarded handsomely, earning virtually all of his $489.6 million on generous options grants designed to motivate him. Many of those options were priced above the value of Yahoo stock at the time they were granted, an unusual practice, says Hodgson. Premium-priced options are designed to motivate execs even more, at a lower cost to shareholders -- who did quite well under Semel, anyway. Anyone who invested $10,000 in Yahoo when he joined the company had $27,800 by the time he left in June 2007, according to calculations by The Wall Street Journal. In contrast, the Nasdaq gained 19% in the same period.
7. Eugene Isenberg, Nabors Industries: $518 million
Eugene Isenberg managed a phenomenal turnaround of the energy-services company Nabors Industries (NBR, news) after taking over as CEO after a 1987 reorganization. He turned a $35 million market cap into $6.7 billion, and the company has created over 23,000 jobs since he took over, says Nabors.
Legends in their own minds.......These men single handedly masterminded these global corporations to lavish and unprecedented success with no help from any of the tens of thousands of other employees, yes employees (A CEO is a mere employee in many situations, some do however found the companies that they are CEO's of as well.) and to be paid some half a billion dollars in compensation for their skills? No single employee is worth the lavish life and compensation without including their counterparts in the mix. A company is only as good as their help. I believe a widely successful company should include their employees as a contribution to their success. They too, should be successful in their work and their personal lives. And I mean these people should be able to afford a good life as long as they contribute to the wide success a company experiences and not live paycheck to paycheck.
