Quantitative DNA Assay (Ploidy), Koilocytotic Changes and AgNOR Expression for Risk Estimation in Oral Leukoplakia http://pubs.sciepub.com/jcrt/2/2/1 Materials and methods: 50 cases of oral leukoplakias along with adequate controls were selected for the study. Quantitative DNA analysis was done by FACS scan. AgNORs were studied by silver staining method, koilocytotic changes and histopathology were studied in HE stained tissue sections. Results: Out of 50 cases, 45 cases (90%) were linked to traditional addiction of various forms and 5 cases (10%) were non-addicts. Histologically, there were 52% non dysplastic and 48% dysplastic cases. Out of these 50 cases, there were diploid, tetrapoid and aneuploid population including hypodiploid DNA content. The DNA index (DI), among these cases, were ranged from 0.22 (hypodiploid) to 2.12 (tetrapoid) (co-efficient of variation ranged from 0.39 to 18.43). The mean AgNOR count for smokers were 3.5 ± 2.058 whereas the mean AgNOR count for the betel quid group was 2.85 ± 1.47 and for khaini- gutka group was 3.67 ± 2.21. Less than 50% cases showed positivity for koilocytotic changes (20 out of 50 cases). Conclusion: The quantitative DNA (ploidy) study along with AgNORs can be considered dually as a prospective prognostic marker for cancer risk prediction in cases of oral leukoplakia. But koilocytotic changes for the HPV association as a marker for risk prediction in cases of oral leukoplakia is controversial and needs to be investigated on a large scale basis and follow up for a longer duration.]]> Asoke Roy, Satyendra Prasad Bhatnagar, Malay Chatterjee, Goutam Mandal, Dipanwita Ghosh 2014-04-10 Science and Education Publishing 2014-04-10 2 2 22 27 10.12691/jcrt-2-2-1

Committee Recommends HPV Vaccine Approval
The agency's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee unanimously agreed that data from phase II and III clinical trials conducted in the United States, Europe, and South America - which included more than 20,000 participants - supported that the vaccine is safe and effective in preventing HPV-related cervical cancer as well as precancerous cervical, vaginal, and vulvular lesions.
The committee's chair, Dr. Monica Farley, stressed that, if the FDA approves the vaccine, postmarket studies of Gardasil to ensure its long-term effectiveness and safety would be very important.
Merck submitted a Biologics License Application to the FDA for the marketing approval of Gardasil last December, and the agency has said it will make a decision on the application by June 8. Gardasil and another HPV vaccine manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline were developed on the basis of work originally done by NCI investigators.
Although Merck has only conducted clinical trials to test the vaccine's effectiveness in women 16-26 years old, it requested approval for use in females ages 9-26. Logistical and ethical concerns have precluded the company from conducting efficacy trials in girls 9-15, so the company instead conducted immunogenicity trials in girls of this age to measure their immune response to the vaccine.
Younger females had an even stronger immune response than the older females in the efficacy trials, explained Dr. Eliav Barr of Merck. The advisory committee unanimously agreed that these data supported "bridging" or extending the effectiveness data to include this younger group.
Several committee members commented that, if Gardasil does come to market, it will be very important to stress it's not a substitute for cervical cancer screening.
New Smoking Cessation Medication Approved
Chantix is approved for use in adults and is taken for 12 weeks; patients who successfully quit may take an additional 12 weeks of the medication to increase their likelihood of long-term cessation. The data that led to the approval of Chantix came from 6 clinical trials including more than 3,600 patients; 5 of the 6 studies were randomized controlled clinical trials in which Chantix was shown to be superior to placebo. All the trials provided patients with educational materials on smoking cessation and up to 10 minutes of counseling at each weekly treatment visit.
About 1 in every 5 adult Americans (44.5 million) smokes cigarettes, and each year, more than 440,000 Americans die prematurely from illnesses caused by tobacco use. "FDA's approval of Chantix provides an additional option for people who smoke to quit," said Dr. Glen Morgan of NCI's Tobacco Control Research Branch. "NCI recommends that smokers employ behavioral techniques with every quit attempt." Information and assistance with smoking cessation can be found at www.smokefree.gov or by calling 1-800-QUIT-NOW.

When I was kid in elementary school, I used to draw horses. And trust me—I was not a gifted artist. But on the inside of every notebook, on the margins of math tests and the errant post-it note; horses were popping up everywhere. They weren't the horses I knew, but the horses I hoped to know.
I was a scrappy short-stirrup rider who refused to count strides and had never been to a jumper show, but I would draw my fantasy grand prix horses, soaring over wide square oxers.

I love broccoli both raw and cooked. I tend to eat it cooked in the winter, but once the temps top 100 degrees here in Texas, I eat it raw in salad after salad!
You've got some yummy-looking recipes up there. The muffins and the ginger one really grab me.

2 Payment Processing Kings to Consider Today
Bill is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) released solid quarterly results in both its Paypal.com payments business and in its marketplace business. Given this good news and the stock's attractive relative valuations versus other payment companies and online merchants, investors should consider watching eBay for a more appealing entry point.
Quarterly Results
eBay revealed that for the quarter ended in Sept. 30 it has earned $597 million on $3.4 billion in revenue at the rate of $0.45 per share, just below analyst estimates of $3.41 billion in revenue. Both the top line and bottom line were significantly higher than the same time of the previous year, which saw $491 million on $3 billion revenue. If you exclude one-time items, then the earning would be $718 billion at the rate of $0.55 per share. Kerry Rice, an analyst of eBay for Needham said, "Margins are a little better than expected and investments aren't hurting the bottom line."
Sales from eBay's primary marketplace as well as revenue from PayPal online payment business are both are on the rise compared to last year, increasing by 9% and 23%, respectively. eBay has taken some steps to organize its online shopping and it has already redesigned its site by personalizing each customer's experience. Moreover, CEO John Donohoe anticipates more than $10 billion mobile payment sales this year via PayPal. Revised guidance from eBay forecasts fourth-quarter revenue between of $3.85 billion and $4 billion, while analysts forecasted $3.94 billion revenue for eBay in the fourth-quarter.
Valuing the Competition
Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) shares are trading at an indefensibly high 292.68 price-to-earnings ratio and a price of nearly $240 per share. Amazon's high valuations are based on some of the firm's highest recorded earnings: this is not an anomalously high P/E multiple based on temporarily-depressed earnings. That said, high earnings are simply not enough to justify even higher valuations. The 14.46 price-to-book multiple of this stock is higher than the 2.07 S&P 500 price-to-book ratio. The firm's price-to-sales ratio of 2 is in line with today's prevailing market multiples.
Both eBay and Amazon compete for business from third-party suppliers in their marketplaces, yet their price multiples could not be more different. At $50 per share price levels, shares of eBay are provide growth at a reasonable price. eBay shares currently trade at a high 17.53 price-to-earnings ratio, a higher value than the S&P 500 index, but a value that is much lower than the nearly 300 price-to-earnings ratio of Amazon.com. Since commerce on eBay's platform finance their own inventory and operating costs, it enjoys higher margins and its much higher 4.95 a price-to-sales ratio can be justified.
Overstock.com (NASDAQ: OSTK) is another competitor of eBay and Amazon.com that specializes in inventory closeouts. Overstock.com shares afford speculators an attractively-priced betting opportunity to speculate on, at about $11 a share. When compared to the 1.32 price-to-sales ratio of the S&P 500, the 0.25 ratio of this stock is very attractive. Overstock.com can be seen as risky, since it ran a net loss for the last twelve months.
Payment industry firms offer a basis of comparison for eBay's Paypal business. Payments giant Visa (NYSE: V) stock is too expensive, at a price of roughly $140, a price level which seems impossible to justify. Equity in this this company is rich on a price-to-sales basis, since shares trade at a 11.27 multiple, over eight time higher than the 1.32 the S&P 500 average. Visa shares are trading at an very high 138.58 price-to-earnings ratio. The 4.33 price-to-book multiple of this stock is higher than the 2.07 S&P 500 price-to-book ratio.
Price multiples for Mastercard (NYSE: MA) are less extreme, but still high. Mastercard stock trades around $470 per share. Equity in this this company is rich based on a 8.23 price-to-sales ratio, a 28.1 price-to-earnings ratio, and a 9.37 price-to-book ratio.
In summary, it is clear that eBay is cheap relative to its competitors on a price-to-earnings basis:
Amazon and Overstock.com bulls may focus on a lower P/S multiples. However, an overview of firm margins reveals that eBay is their better:
eBay's margins blow away these two websites. Its transaction and fee-based income makes its margins closer to those of MasterCard and Visa.
At this point, investors should wonder if eBay's growth prospects are much lower than its competitors. This would be the only way to explain why it trades at a significantly lower price-to-earnings multiple. This does not appear to be the case:
MasterCard and Visa are the only firms that are wildly better than eBay in terms of its historical earnings growth. In terms of analyst forecasts, Amazon is more than double eBay, but that's the only company that's predicted to do better.
eBay is an attractive alternative to Amazon, Overstock, and Visa as a company that fuses payment and marketplace operations. MasterCard may also be attractive as a growth stock in the payments industry. Investors should consider buying either firm on price declines.

The win for Big Valley (3-4, 2-0 Central California Athletic Alliance) at West High's Steve Lopez Stadium dims the hopes of the Falcons (1-6, 0-2 CCAA) to make playoffs this year.
Millennium junior quarterback Mojo Atwal said that his team will make the most of the three weeks left in the regular season, still with an eye on the post-season.
"The rest of the season we have to practice a lot harder. Everyone needs to show up and we need to be more consistent," he said. "It's going to be hard to get into playoffs, but you never know. You can't quit. We've got to keep trying."
Head coach Jayson Dias said Atwal did a respectable job filling in for senior quarterback Gavin Compton, who is out because of concussion in last week's game against Stone Ridge Christian.
"(Atwal) is going to get better every game and every day at practice," Dias said. "We've just got to do a better job offensively to keep the defense on the sideline."
Big Valley's defense allowed the Falcons no first downs in the first half. Millennium totaled 75 yards of offense for the night, with 47 yards passing for Atwal. He completed five of 11 passes, including three to senior wide receiver Kyle Murawski.
"There were some plays that worked for us, some short outside passes," Atwal said. "For me, I need to read the defense a little better."
Defensive leaders for the Falcons included Carlos Martinez with 18 tackles and Alex Lambert with 16 tackles.
Millennium got as close as the Lions' 14-yard line at the end of the fourth quarter. That drive ended when Big Valley's Marcus Zuniga intercepted an Atwal pass on the 1-yard line and ran it back all the way up the left sideline for the score in the game's final seconds.
Big Valley totaled 407 yards of offense. Derek Veneman ran the ball 19 times for 152 yards including a touchdown run. Also scoring for the Lions on touchdown runs were Zuniga, Austin Petero, Noah Miedema, and David Barton. Big Valley quarterback Zach Jenkins completed eight of 12 passes for 123 yards. Zuniga was three-for-four on point-after kicks.

Cuckoo Clock by Carl Grüttert
Maxwell's Daily Find 11.07.13
Cuckoo Clock by Carl Grüttert
• $295
Want one. From one of the oldest makers in Germany, and they ship worldwide.
"The cuckoo calls every half hour and 1 time every hour on the hour each hour. The clock is supplied in a so-called "brown oak" and is hand made of 100% in Germany. A hand-painted blacksmith with his rescue Bernadiner decorate the Cuckoo's house. The pendulum and the weights are gerfertigt of high quality and with high precision."
6 Comments
It's not the site, the site is in German and someone just ran it through a translator which is why the text came out that way.
I think the language characteristics simply reveal that the original author may not be a native writer of English. Possibly Maxwell included the quote because it is interesting and authentic.
But speaking as one who had a handmade clock that chimed every quarter hour, it got annoying at night. My neighbor in the apartment above me was especially annoyed, but he didn't know where the sound was coming from for a long time so I didn't know until he mentioned it in passing. Naturally, I immediately had to stop the clock.
Your comment makes a lot of sense. Those machine translations can be funny and incomprehensible so this is actually a pretty good one.
We have a lovely cuckoo clock my in-laws brought over from Bavaria. It does chime on the quarter hour, but after a couple of days you don't even notice.
My grandmother had a cuckoo clock, much more ornate and colorful than this one. God I loved that thing. She used to let me pull the weights.

Alpha Natural Resources recorded a net loss for 2013, but the company's executives say they expect better markets this year.
In last week's quarterly conference call with analysts, Alpha President Paul Vining described 2013 as "a challenging year" for one of the nation's largest coal producers, but he gave four reasons for optimism:
On Feb. 12, Alpha reported a net loss of $358.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and a net loss of $1.1 billion for the full year. Those compare with net losses of $127.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $2.4 billion for the full year.
Alpha shipped 86.9 million tons of coal in 2013, compared with 108.8 million tons in 2012. Metallurgical coal shipments were 20.1 million tons, down from 20.3 million. Shipments of Powder River Basin coal and Eastern steam coal were 38.2 million tons and 28.6 million tons, respectively, compared with 46.7 million tons and 41.8 million tons in 2012.
Steam coal production was reduced to match production with demand, Alpha said in its earnings release.
Met Coal
Kevin Crutchfield, Alpha's chairman and CEO, described several events changing the market for metallurgical coal, particularly on world markets. The Australian dollar is weak, Australian mines have increased production and Chinese inventories are well-stocked, he said. Those have caused weakness in the market, he said.
On the demand side, global demand for steel is forecast to be 3.3 percent greater this year. In Europe, the demand for steel should grow 2.1 percent as opposed an estimated 3.8 percent decline last year, he said. Also, markets in Central and South America should improve, he said.
"While near-term pricing is clearly depressed, we've seen improved supply-demand balance on the mid-term horizon, as demand growth has expected to continue while supply growth should be much smaller in 2014, compared to 2013 and essentially flat after 2014," Crutchfield said.
Thermal Coal
"The persistent cold spells we've experienced over the last several weeks have resulted in increased demands and interest in coal-fired electrical generation," Crutchfield said.
Coal stockpiles Dec. 31 were down 38 million tons from the previous year, he said. The year-end inventory stood at 64 days of burn compared to 84 days in December 2012, he said.
Stockpiles at power plants supplied by the Powder River Basin and Northern Appalachia are below their historical five-year averages. Stockpiles at plants supplied by Central Appalachian mines improved to 118 days from 155 days at the end of 2012, which is still higher than their historical average burn rate, he said.
Along with that, the price of natural gas stood at more than $5 per million BTUs compared with just over $3 in early 2013, he said.
"These dynamics have resulted in near-term price firmness in most regions, especially in Central App, where thermal prices as measured by NYMEX have risen approximately 10 percent from late November to late January," Crutchfield said.
Vining said Alpha achieved its safety goals despite moving people around from mine to mine, which normally hurts mine safety efforts.
"We had several thousand people that we sent home and probably equally as many that moved around the different seats or different mines and different parts of the organization," Vining said. "There was a lot of fluid movement. Whenever you have that, it's even a bigger challenge to keep people focused on their jobs and operating safely and productively.
"I haven't ever seen a particularly low-cost, productive profitable mine with a terrible safety rate. They go hand in hand, and it reflects typically the training of the workforce, the attention to detail and ultimately the attitude and the drive of the workforce that all come together to produce positive results on safety as well as productivity and cost."

In short: Fantastic race - thoroughly enjoyed myself even with the last couple of hills!In full: Would definitely do this one again - marshalls, crowd & the organisation were excellent and of course Dame Kelly made it a very special day. It was my first time for this race and it really was my favourite of the year.Date of review: September 26, 2012
In short: Friendly, well-organised and good fun. Long may it continue!Date of review: September 26, 2012
In short: very well organised, friiendly, not too big, nice sceneryIn full: All organanisation like clockwork - plenty of loos/great baggage drop-off/friendly and efficient marshalls. Slightly undulating course through nice countryside, with great support at Leigh village and coming back into TonbridgeDate of review: September 25, 2012
In short: great even, very well organisedDate of review: September 25, 2012
In short: Excellent, a definite favouriteIn full: I'm lucky to have this event on my doorstep, it''s an interesting course with a few ups and downs, support and organisation are both fantastic. Will definitely be back for my third attempt next year.Shame there were over 400 no shows, a third of the entries, if the results list is accurateDate of review: September 24, 2012
In short: Hilly, rainy, ExcellentIn full: Well organised event. Challenging course that I underestimated being my 1st time. The hills seemed to go on forever. Marshalls excellent and a very Jolly race director.Excellent medal and goody bag.Tough but fair.Date of review: September 24, 2012
In full: A really well organised event, from start to finish, the facilities were superb, marshalls fantastic and the public amazing standing out in the rain cheering us on. To top it off Dame Kelly Homes was here for us at the start and finish. Only down side was at the prize giving there were no awards given out for 2nd and 3rd place prizes beyond age 45, it seems a pity as us older runners matter too!Date of review: September 24, 2012
In short: Another very good event..In full: Simply excellent. The second Tonbridge Half Marathon was well organised, fun, and as many have said the support through Leigh village was even better than last year (and that was amazing as well!)I regards to the course, it was challenging, but still fun and this time round easier as I'd done some proper hill training.I managed to get round quicker as well, taking off 22 minutes from last years finishing time.I'd strongly recommend doing this event, and will return next year.Thanks to the organizers again.Date of review: September 24, 2012
In short: Fantastic Run. Loved it!In full: Easy course, great atmosphere especially in Leigh and under the A21 at hayesden lane. Plenty of marshals, traffic free and a fantastic medal giver. Can't wait til next year to improve my time!Date of review: September 24, 2012

Bolton Valley is Like Recess, Only It Lasts All Day and Into the Night
Jen Butson, firstname.lastname@example.com
BOLTON, Vt.
Families come in all shapes and sizes, especially those that travel on family ski vacations together. And while dad may want to catch first chair, mom may be looking for a swim in the pool. The kids? Well, some may want to ride in the parks, while younger ones may need some lessons or childcare. Keeping the ever-changing dynamics of family needs in mind, Bolton Valley makes it easy for families to enjoy skiing and riding together with night skiing, a complete sports center, Nordic skiing and snowshoeing, plus ski movies and more.
Once on the mountain, every member of the family will find terrain to suit their needs whether its finding air on the jumps and rails in one of Bolton's three terrain parks, including the Burton Progression Park, or in the 300 acres of trails and glades, divided up almost equally for novice, intermediate and advanced skiers and riders. One of the best treats, however, is a tasty waffle from the Waffle Cabin, with choices of sugar or chocolate to top off the sweetness.
88km of Nordic and Backcountry terrain take meandering cross-country skiers and snowshoers or more advanced alpine and telemark skiers and snowboarders into some of the most pristine gladed terrain at Bolton. The Nordic Center's trails reap the benefit of its high elevation location and an abundance of natural snowfall annually.
The Bolton Valley Sports Center in the base village houses an indoor pool, plus an Indoor Amusement Center with video games and bounce houses for family fun off the slopes. Parents can simply walk over to a full rental and retail shop for equipment needs and the ski and snowboard school or the Burton Learn to Ride Center plus an on-premise childcare facility make it easy for parents to know exactly where their children are at all times. Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports' northern home is located at Bolton as well, offering skiing, riding, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing to people with disabilities.
Two restaurants plus a cafeteria, deli and a real deal Vermont General Store offer a wide variety of dining choices for families. For those who like to cook in, the real deal Vermont General Store sells everything you need to make your own meals or to grab a fantastic homemade meal from the deli. Fireside Flatbread located in the main base lodge, serves up wood-fired pizza for lunch and après ski. On Saturday nights, lift tickets are just $19 at the home of Vermont's most extensive night skiing and riding, and guests can enjoy $2 pizza slices, plus sodas and beer plus a fun ski movie. The James Moore Tavern, located on the top floor of the Base Lodge, offers a great view, a warm fireplace, and live entertainment on weekends. Not to mention 18 beers on tap--including a great selection of local brews. Signature soups, fried ravioli, Bolton's in-demand angus burger, or any other well-crafted offerings can be found each night.
For more information visit www.boltonvalley.com or call 877-9BOLTON.

The Art of Making Stop-Motion Magic on Vine
If you're an active Vine user, you've probably seen some of Dylan Blau's incredible work. The 20-year-old stop-motion animator is famous for making extraordinary CGI-free Vine videos, often with basic material like clay and paper. Recently, Blau hosted a hands-on tutorial at Social Media Week NYC. His presentation included tips on bringing everyday objects to life in a Vine video, making infinite cutout animations using the Strata Stencil technique and planning out unique stop-motion stories.

Boho glam with a Tassel. Global Glam beaded bracelets. This is Juicy Couture's boho-chic twist on a bracelet. Isn't she a beauty? Last year I used to wear my Sufi rosary as a necklace, and of course it had a tassel, and everyone looked at it as if it was an odd thing to wear. Now, it's fashionable, and it's OK to wear tassels. That's so unfortunate. People wait for designer labels and the fashion industry to Okay their cultural aesthetic, and until it is fashionably recognized you remain an outcast.
Tassels are a part and parcel of my culture, like many other beautiful things (harem pants, kaftans, etc). Only when the fashion industry comes and creates a replica of our heritage do people accept it as 'modern', cool, and 'fashion forward'. They don't have the courage to look into their own culture and heritage and appreciate the beauty they have. Anything that their ancestors used to wear is 'backwards', unless fashion comes and declares it 'inspiring'. This only tells you, people are sheep, and they move with the herd.

Hello there, I have recently joined the ranks of handmade jewelry makers in the Levant - having switched from a tedious career that took 14 years of my life - in PR, media and communication - into the great freedom of being my own boss.
I'm a free-spirited 'boho' young woman who comes from a family of artists, writers, and poets.

Adventure: Long Arm Of Lauto, Obolus. (DM: CaBaNa, Judge: by covaitheWhere this all began...
Back at the Temple of Lauto.
Rocco Shadowlost dwarven fighter played by Neurotic
Cyr Iannes deva invoker played by Metavoid
Alissa played by Wynter
Kryath dragonborn sorcerer played by thaco
Aurak dragonborn paladin played by CMoss
Silphyus deva warlock played by THushman
Ibram Gaunt half-elf bard played by modest
This is an adventure call for up to six level 1-3 characters, it is designed to be hard difficulty for six 1st level characters.
This is my first PbP DM experience, though I've DM'd many times before.
I'd like for everyone to post once per day, but I understand that RL sometimes gets in the way of that. I'll normally PM before NPCing any PC. If there is no reply to the PM for 24 hours I'll NPC the character. (Using only at-wills, or assisting if a skill challenge.)
This will be a short to mid-length adventure.
Init will be rolled by me to speed up the process. Monsters will get one init roll, and any PC that beats it will go before them in the first round. After the first round, init will be monsters then PC's. The PC's turn will go in the order of posting. (If you want to delay until after X you MUST indicate OOC that you are delaying until after X.)
Effects that last TENT will be interpreted loosely.
Speaking of which, I'm loose on rules. Fun is most important, so if you aren't having fun for any reason please PM me ASAP. I'll do my best to accommodate in any reasonable way possible!
Looking forward to adventure!
After responding to the notice on the door, each member of the party made their way into the waiting room. A long way down the hall, and in a rather echo-friendly room, they waited until an aristocratic and pompous fop of a Halfling addressed them.
Inside the waiting room, the party gives their name and skills to the rude halfling, then enter High Priest Belingras' office.

ø Ignore Neurotic
OOC: So we have three (THREE!!) defenders (warden and two fighters), one controller, luckily divine and leader...WE NEED STRIKER(S)!...hm, or another leader.
Rocco walks through the door into the office waiting for details of the job. Confidential or not, he will not stick around after he hears full story if there's something fishy going on...and he didn't like that pompous little runt not one little bit.

ø Ignore covaithe
oog: I might as well judge this one, since I'm down to one game I'm judging at the moment, which is well below my quota, I guess.
My games
Check out Living 4th Edition, a community-run 4e D&D living world open to all. Now open for character and adventure submissions!

I'll finish the opening post, and introduce Belingras before I go to bed.
I saw that we had 3 defenders, a leader, and a controller. Thought about it, and decided it's going to be fun for this adventure.
If a striker happens into the picture so be it, but we don't NEED anyone else to successfully complete this adventure. The group we have will suffice.
Granted it's still going to be very challenging.
Thanks for judging covaithe! I'll add you to the title

OOC: Thanks Dimsdale.
OOC2: now we have only one defender and three characters remaining. It seems we'll either wait for new recruits or go and hope for weaker encounters

Alissa sighs heavily as many members of the group disperse. She wouldn't be going anywhere, not yet. Not until she heard more about the situation as well as the rewards. If the reward was substantial, the Spirit Talker didn't care one bit how she was treated by her employer. Years amongst the Goliaths had given her thick skin, metaphorically speaking. She walks into the office, pausing slightly as Cyr holds the door, "Thank you." she mentions as she continues inward, the rings of her chainmail clanging slightly.

Do you have a theme song or a song that captures the essence of your life's journey?
I have been listening to a number of songs lately and many seem to speak of a life's journey. I am wondering if TEDdies identify with a song and if so if you would consider posting it?
Jason PoundsJul 19 2012: Music is the best way I can every describe what I think and feel, and I have yet to find a better way to put out there what I want to say. It seems every week I have a new theme song or something I relate to, but I am glad you asked this question because I always ask people I meet what song describes them the most, and I feel its one of the best ways to learn about some one.
Under The Bridge- Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Staind- Epiphany
Stand By Me- Ben E. King
Jul 18 2012: If it has to be one song, then its "One Minute" by Mary Mary.
It touches my heart like no other song and a good day turns to a great one by just singing along to it.
I also love "Natural" by pop group S Club 7. AND.........
"Forces of Nature" by Backstreet Boys.
"I'll stand by you" by Girls Aloud.
"Lost In Space" by Lighthouse Family
"Always" by Atlantic Starr
"Sometimes" by Britney Spears
Steve CJul 17 2012: some of my tops:
Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes
The Outfield - For You
Puddle of Mudd - Blurry
Don Henley - The Boys of Summer
Staind - It's Been Awhile
Margaret Becker - Just Come In
I wouldn't say they drive me into action or anything like that, like "Eye of the Tiger" (so I wouldn't call it a theme song), just that they "seem to speak of..." something; ... hopes, dreams, memories, feelings.
Rob ClarkJul 8 2012: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qqib2eDweE
This song I think helps define me.
Calm, laid-back, not without its unpredictability, slowly changing through different keys (stages of my life) hopefully to resound to a peaceful tonal end.
Not trying to seem egotistical or anything haha
pat gilbert 100+Jul 8 2012: This song is indicative of my most profound and heavy thinking
pat gilbert 100+
Jul 9 2012: Ok Debra
This is a bit technical but I think self explanatory
Jul 9 2012: Hmm maybe so, no on 1st thought I had it right, you are left. Morality is a tale of the collective, as morality is more about agreement and less about ethics, as with the ubiquitous group think on TED.
Perhaps this song although I don't have a problem with technology:
Jul 8 2012: Well Debra,
there are many songs that I identify myself along with. It depends on the state of my mind.
But this particular track captures the essence of my life's journey ,really beautiful to listen to:
Jul 8 2012: There is a town in north Ontario,
with dream comfort memory to spare,
and in my mind I still need a place to go,
all my changes were there.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
Big bird flying across the sky
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leaves us helpless, helpless, helpless
Jul 8 2012: ...... ;-)
Jul 8 2012: Don't mean to overdo it Deb.
It's just that Jackson has so many incredibly beautiful songs. Hope its not too much for you ...
Are you familiar with Jackson?
Jul 8 2012: Perhaps one of Jackson's most beautiful song. "For a Dancer" is written about Jackson's girl friend who took her own life at a very young age after giving birth to Jackson's son. Please follow the text on this one Deb....
Jul 8 2012: For Daniel, the words not the music.
Jul 7 2012: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kpXxxwYmbY
I think you know this one ...
Jul 6 2012: Here's another lovely Dylan song called "I Believe in You" done by Alison Krauss
Jul 6 2012: Thanks Debra!
Yes! Barley, wheat and rye. It's a most beautiful country indeed! I have been here for 27 years now. I come from Michigan. I love music and am always in search of new songs that move something in the soul if you know what I mean. I work at a hospice. I play the guitar and harmonica and sing to the patients who are looking at death from a very close hold. So music is not only my favorite hobby but also my way of picking up their spirits.
I really liked your topic and hope that there will come a lot of music with meaning. Bob Dylan is my all time favorite! Here are a few of his songs. Spanish Boots of Spanish Leather is his by the way. I hope you heard the text to it. Its most beautiful. Please google it if not! You'll love it!
Here is Norah Jones doing Dylans "Forever Young"
Here is Dylan doing "Every Grain of Sand"
Also exceptionally good texts!
I'll send you some more in a bit
Jul 8 2012: Daniel, I have been away from my email and computer for a couple of days and I returned just now to find this cornucopia of beauty. Wow. I am deeply impressed with your work and feel it is a life's calling and adore you even more for such a choice. Norway sounds exquisite!
Thank you for such a feast!
Jul 6 2012: All the best to you, Dear Bob!
How is this version with Barbara?
Hope you and yours are well,
another one for you!
Jul 6 2012: ... and still another beautiful song by Eva Cassidy
Jul 5 2012: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzn9Sb4P_QA
Jul 9 2012: My response was to you regarding your statement "At least we are still looking for solutions!" My statements are very consistent yet I see no evidence that you have considered them.
The premise of the song is the pathology of the collective.
I was born in a welfare state
Ruled by bureaucracy
Controlled by civil servants
And people dressed in grey
Got no privacy, got no liberty
Cos the twentieth century people
Took it all away from me.
Don't wanna get myself shot down
By some trigger happy policeman,
Gotta keep a hold on my sanity
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna die here.
Jul 9 2012: Pat, this might be a serious clue to the differences between us. You still see no evidence (which feels like you are calling me a liar) and you did not respond to mY request for assistance and clarification. I sure appreciate your posting the words. Did you take note that I asked if the 20th Century man- where the link takes me- is what you intended? I now hear the words you quoted at more than 3.5 minutes in. My worry that I had the wrong song and the earlier lyrics made me less receptive to your lyrics.
OK pat, here is what i perceive to have happened. When osmeone asserts that he/she is in th ewrong century and states that they are schizoid and are convinced that they do not want to die in our century (whatother century coud they die in, I ask) I start to focus on the illness rather than the overt words coming out of their mouthes.
Jul 9 2012: I don't know what you mean?
One of the barriers to communication is that before one can compare or evaluate information he has to copy or get that information (why the word copy is used in military communication) any evaluation cannot occur until the copy part is done.
What I have noticed with you is that you talk about the possible interpretations and your corresponding evaluations of those interpretations. Which jumps over the first step in a communication. Here is an example from the thread about women in equality?
This is a point of logic in that assuming is illogical.
My Post:
I can't believe how rude the Canadians are/were?
Your reply:
Jun 29 2012: Rude Pat? please explain because that is generally not the view we hear from other cultures. Rudeness may be in the eye of the beholder especially if you are offended by the truth or other people's perspective of it.
You may find it interesting that it was a Canadian who tried to convince your Greenspan to save you from the meltdown. It was also Canadians who saved your diplomats in Iran.
One of the things Canadians generally consider polite is to never forget a kindness.
Maybe what you meant is UPPITY? We are never thrilled about bending our knee to psuedo rulers of the world.
If you refer to the men at GM remember to watch some of your own movies about what all women in mines and factories endured in the USA as well.
Jul 9 2012: PAT, while this appears to be one more Fox news type ploy, i choose to play along for now (like most liberal tend to do but the time is almost at an end. The trouble is that is works well for use against those who are less dogmatic and more well informed. I will let you in on a "secret" that most of you know already" three disjointed answers or I don't undewrtstand yous= used even as a ploy derails most conversations. You use logic with me or accuse me of rudeness - astounding!
In case you really did not listen to your own song here are the words you demand to consider my arugement, Pat.
Gotta keep a hold on my sanityI'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna die here.My mama says she can't understand meShe can't see my motivationAin't got no security,I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna be here.
My mama said she can't understand meShe can't see my motivationJust give me some security,I'm a paranoid schizoid product of the twentieth century
Jul 10 2012: No I really did not get what you were saying? (there is no ploy) Yup I'm big on logic, where did I accuse you of rudeness?
We don't agree about any aspect of politics and never will, which is the case with 90% of the TEDsters so be it. I'm just asking you to get what I'm saying BEFORE you tell me I'm a stupid Kool aid drinking over the edge Tea party guy or whatever.
Yes Ray Davies is referring to his circumstance caused by socialism and caused his insecurity (clearly not a good member of the collective), lack of motivation, and his paranoia, which is explained further in the context of the song.
Jul 9 2012: Here is a Gordon Lightfoot song .. also from Canada !
Jul 9 2012: Daniel! Simply exquisite! Norway and Canada share a pristine beauty of winter. I offer you another dance metaphor song this time by Leonard Cohen - Dance me to the endo f love.
Jul 6 2012: Here's one more you might like Deb. By Jackson Browne
Best wishes again
Jul 5 2012: Hi Deb,
Wish you all the best ! Hope you are getting better ! Hope this touches you like it touches me !
Jul 5 2012: As I have shared before, i had a surgery in December that went wrong and I was expected to die. I have too much left to do to die (and I have one son who moved heaven and earth to keep me alive). Sometime after that I discovered this song and it is working as my current position statement. I hope it transmits that I am trying hard to listen to my own inner voice -something that I have not always been good at:
Please also remember that I am struggling with a bit of aphasia.

September 30 2014 Latest news:
Newcastle United and Norwich City predicted line-ups.
Friday, March 16, 2012
Team news, the player to watch, battle of the day, referee and betting for the Premier League clash between Newcastle United and Norwich City at 4pm on Sunday.
• Norwich City team news:
Midfielder Jonny Howson returns to the squad after missing last weekend's Premier League home draw against Wigan with a flu bug. Defenders Marc Tierney (knee) and Dani Ayala (hamstring) are still ruled out but Paul Lambert revealed yesterday both are expected to rejoin first team training next week. James Vaughan is still sidelined with a hamstring problem. Lambert reported no fresh injury concerns following the Latics draw. Keeper Declan Rudd (foot) is a longer term absentee. Steve Morison pushed his claims for a start after an impressive late cameo last weekend. Subs (from): Steer, R Bennett, Barnett, Drury, Pilkington, Crofts, E Bennett, Jackson, Wilbraham.
• Newcastle United team news:
Midfielder Cheick Tiote and defender Danny Simpson picked up injuries in the midweek league defeat at Arsenal. Tiote picked up a hamstring problem in Monday night's 2-1 defeat at Arsenal, while full-back Simpson suffered an abductor strain. Magpies' boss Alan Pardew otherwise has no new injury concerns, although striker Peter Lovenkrands (thigh) and fellow long-term absentees Leon Best and Sammy Ameobi (both knee), Steven Taylor (Achilles) and Sylvain Marveaux (groin) are still missing.
Subs (from): Elliott, Perch, Ferguson, Guthrie, Gosling, Vuckic, Obertan, Ameobi.
• Manager:
Alan Pardew Walked into the club on a hiding to nothing after replacing the popular Chris Hughton. Now being talked about in despatches with regard to the England managerial vacancy. Which underlines the stunning impact Pardew has had on the Geordies since taking over in December 2010. Managed at Reading, West Ham, Charlton and Southampton. Guided the Hammers to the FA Cup final in 2006 after promotion from the Championship the previous sesaon via the play-offs. Failed to keep Charlton in the Premier League but won the Football League Trophy at Southampton in 2010.
• One to watch:
Yohan Cabaye
The French international midfielder has been a key part of Newcastle's impressive bid for European football. Signed a five-year deal last summer for an undisclosed fee from boyhood club Lille after winning the domestic league and cup double. Talented playmaker who has progressed through the French age group ranks at international level. Made his senior debut for 'Les Bleus' in a friendly against Norway in August 2010.
• Referee:
Phil Dowd (Staffordshire) Booked three Norwich players in the 2-1 home Premier League defeat to Arsenal in November. Shown 107 yellow and four red cards this season.
• Betting:
Newcastle 4/5, Norwich 7/2, draw 5/2. First scorer Newcastle: Ba 4/1, Ameobi, Cisse 5/1, Ben Arfa 7/1, Vuckic 8/1, Cabaye 10/1.
City: Holt, Morison 8/1, Jackson, Wilbraham 10/1, Hoolahan, Pilkington, Surman 12/1.
No goalscorer: 12/1.
• Battle of the day:
Zak Whitbread v Demba Ba
Whitbread will need little introduction after his rocky return from a hamstring injury in December's 4-2 win for he Canaries. Ba's double continued his impressive start to life in the north-east. The Senegalese has notched 17 goals in 30 appearance for the Magpies. Whitbread has looked the part since his latest return from injury and will no doubt be keen to underline his progress when they re-oppose.

I expect we'll roll over and lose quite heavily. Confidence must be very low after our recent run of appalling performances. I'll still be going up there though, supporting the lads (no matter how hopeless they are) that's what real fans do. Not just sit at home moaning like most of the people on this site do!!

Yellow & Green are too similar to Black&White stripes, so we`re playing all in Beige this time. "Hellboy" Ruddy is sticking to Red, though. Next year`s expensive away strip comprises Harry Potter`s Invisibility Cloak over H.G. "Rumsey" Wells` Bandages. Very expensive, but a huge profit margin will be seen (or unseen)!

simvastatin, Zocor (cont.)
Pharmacy Author:
Omudhome Ogbru, PharmD
Omudhome Ogbru, PharmD
Dr. Ogbru received his Doctorate in Pharmacy from the University of the Pacific School of Pharmacy in 1995. He completed a Pharmacy Practice Residency at the University of Arizona/University Medical Center in 1996. He was a Professor of Pharmacy Practice and a Regional Clerkship Coordinator for the University of the Pacific School of Pharmacy from 1996-99.
Medical and Pharmacy Editor:
Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Large quantities of grape fruit juice (>1 quart daily) also will increase blood levels of simvastatin and should be avoided.
Amiodarone (Cordarone), verapamil (Calan Verelan, Isoptin), diltiazem, amlodipine (Norvasc), danazol (Danocrine), ranolazine (Ranexa), niacin (Niacor, Niaspan, Slo-Niacin), gemfibrozil (Lopid) and fenofibrate (Tricor) also may increase the risk of muscle toxicity when combined with simvastatin. Patients taking amiodarone, amlodipine, or ranolazine should not exceed 20 mg, and patients taking verapamil or diltiazem should not exceed 10 mg of of simvastatin daily. Patients taking gemfibrozil or danazol should not take simvastatin.
Simvastatin increases the effect of warfarin (Coumadin) and the blood concentration of digoxin (Lanoxin). Patients taking simvastatin and warfarin or digoxin should be monitored carefully.
Cholestyramine (Questran) decreases the absorption of ezetimibe (Zetia); Therefore, simvastatin should be taken 2 hours before or at least 4 hours after cholestyramine.
Chinese patients taking ≥1 g/day of niacin in combination with simvastatin 40 mg have an increased risk of muscle-related side effects. Therefore, these patients should not receive simvastatin 80 mg combined with niacin in doses ≥1 g/day. Simvastatin doses greater than 20 mg daily should be administered cautiously when combined with niacin ≥1 g/day.
PREGNANCY: Pregnant women should not use simvastatin because the developing fetus requires cholesterol for development, and simvastatin reduces the production of cholesterol. Simvastatin should only be administered to women of child bearing age if they are not likely to become pregnant.
NURSING MOTHERS: Because of the risk of adverse effects to the developing infant, simvastatin should not be administered to nursing mothers.
SIDE EFFECTS: The most common side effects of simvastatin are headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, muscle pain, and abnormal liver tests. Hypersensitivity reactions have also been reported.
The most serious potential side effects are liver damage and muscle inflammation or breakdown. Simvastatin shares side effects, such as liver and muscle damage associated with all statins. Serious liver damage caused by statins is rare. More often, statins cause abnormalities of liver tests. Abnormal tests usually return to normal even if a statin is continued, but if the abnormal test value is greater than three times the upper limit of normal, the statin usually is stopped. Liver tests should be measured before simvastatin is started and if there is a medical concern about liver damage thereafter.
Inflammation of the muscles caused by statins can lead to a serious breakdown of muscle cells called rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis causes the release of muscle protein (myoglobin) into the blood. Myoglobin can cause kidney failure and even death. When used alone, statins cause rhabdomyolysis in less than one percent of patients. To prevent the development of rhabdomyolysis, patients taking simvastatin should contact their health care professional immediately if they develop unexplained muscle pain, weakness, or muscle tenderness.
Statins have been associated with increases in HbA1c and fasting serum glucose levels as are seen in diabetes.
There are also post-marketing reports of memory loss, forgetfulness, amnesia, confusion, and memory impairment. Symptoms may start one day to years after starting treatment and resolve within a median of three weeks after stopping the statin.

Daily, monthly, or a couple of times a year. If you park in one of Chicago's parking garages, you may soon be paying more.
The city wants to tack on a 20 percent tax on top of what you're already paying.
Some drivers say by the time they've paid the rent, childcare, their car payment, and monthly parking downtown, they're almost out of money.
"Yeah, it's ridiculous," one driver says. "It makes it hard to work."
Now, the city wants to hit drivers even harder with more taxes. If you're paying $25 a day or $600 a month, your weekday bill will go up 20 percent in taxes.
A driver paying $35 a day to pull in and out for parking, will pay $7 instead of $5 in taxes.
Drivers say that will take a bite out of the budget.
"I don't know. For me, the convince is worth it," a Chicago driver says. "So you either pay it on the bus or in the car."
Drivers aren't the only ones facing a decision. Chicago's hotel industry has come out strongly against the city's parking tax increase.
At some upscale hotels in the Loop, guests already pay about $45 for overnight parking. With the new tax increase, Jerry Roeper with the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce says those tourists and guests may think twice about a one tank trip to the big city because it could cost them big bucks.
"We're all about trying to drive economic growth up along with the mayor along with the hotel association and the restaurant association, but these are the things that will get people thinking maybe we're better staying in the burbs," Roeper says.
To help everyone get around some of the parking fees, Parkwhiz has created an app to help parkers find a spot and reserve it for less.
"You download the app, you put in the location, and the times you're looking for parking and locations and you'll see a map of the available garages in the area,"
For now, this is just a proposal. If the full council votes in favor of the plan on Wednesday, the hike will start in July.
