FRIDAY, Oct. 8 (HealthDay News) -- A new diagnostic tool that
looks for signs of early stage lung cancer in the lining of the
cheek show some promise in preliminary research.
Called partial wave spectroscopic (PWS) microscopy, the novel
screening approach functions as a kind of optical sweep of the
cheek that makes use of the fact that cells located far from the
site of an actual tumor undergo specific tell-tale changes in their
molecular composition.
"The basic idea is that smoking not only affects the lungs but the entire airway tract," lead author Dr. Hemant K. Roy, director of gastroenterology research at NorthShore University HealthSystem in Evanston, Ill., explained in a news release from Northshore.
"By examining the lining of the cheek with this optical technology, we have the potential to prescreen patients at high risk for lung cancer, such as those who smoke, and identify the individuals who would likely benefit from more invasive and expensive tests versus those who don't need additional tests," Roy explained.
Roy and colleagues from Northwestern University report their
observations online and in the Oct. 15 print issue of
Cancer Research.
While lung cancer survival is predicated on early detection and
early surgical intervention, there are currently no recommended
screening methods specifically aimed at uncovering the disease at
an early stage, the study authors noted.
That means that the majority of lung cancer patients -- 90
percent of whom are smokers -- are diagnosed at a late stage,
contributing to a low survival rate of just 15 percent at five
years. In fact, in the United States, lung cancer is the leading
cause of cancer fatalities.
Enter so-called "biophotonics" technology tools, such as
Developed by a Northwestern researcher, PWS has enough
cutting-edge sensitivity to be able to detect the kind of small
cellular changes that indicate the presence of cancer down to the
20 nanometer level. The technique has already been tested in a
successful effort to screen for colon cancer and pancreatic cancer,
the study authors noted.
With that in mind, Roy's team tested the PWS screening method on
135 patients, nearly half of whom were lung cancer patients with a
history of smoking. Among the others, just over one-quarter were
smokers diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and
the rest were a mix of healthy smokers and nonsmokers.
After swabbing each patient's mouth, cheek cells were optically
scanned. The team found that PWS was successful at accurately
distinguishing between cancer patients and individuals without
cancer more than 80 percent of the time -- a rate that the authors
said is equivalent to that of screening methods used for other
If the technique continues to perform well under further
testing, the study authors suggested, it could eventually be used
as a pre-screening tool to detect those high-risk patients who
would benefit from additional testing, such as CT scans.
Dr. Roy Herbst, chief of the section of thoracic medical
oncology at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, described
the study as "a very interesting use of the latest technology."
"Certainly lung cancer is a disease that more than half the time has already spread and is incurable," he noted. "So, if we could find it earlier it would be a huge advance."
"So, while this is still preliminary and not yet ready for use in the clinic, the work here suggests that you can use a modern tools to develop a noninvasive technique that can help find the disease earlier and determine who's at a greater risk for malignancy than others," Herbst said. "And that would allow us to intervene sooner, which of course would be very helpful."

They hung so close together, two banners among many from the Verizon Center's rafters above the NCAA Hockey National Championship last Saturday night.
To the left, the banner honoring the championship accolades of Boston University and to the right a banner hung embroidered with three words: BOWLING GREEN, 1984.
So close together in the rafters, but in reality the programs currently could not be farther apart. As Boston University celebrated its fifth national championship on the ice below, Bowling Green's hockey program faces its darkest hour. The former college hockey powerhouse has slowly dipped into a mediocrity unmatched by most college hockey programs.
The Falcons have not had a winning season since 1997, and they have not stepped onto the ice at an NCAA tournament since March 1990.
What has happened in the last 25 years since the Falcons 5-4 quadruple overtime NCAA Championship win at Lake Placid?
Jerry York, BG's coach at the time, has since moved on to win two more national championships at Boston College, his alma mater. However, the 1984 title still holds the most importance in his memory.
"The first one is very, very special because it gives you a sense of 'Here's how things should be done,'" York told The BG News in October 2008.
Things were done that way for the next half-decade, but once the program entered the 1990's BG hockey drifted into an afterthought.
An improper home:
First built in 1967, the BGSU Ice Arena has received only one major renovation in its 43-year-old history and that was to add seating capacity. Not only does the rink lack aesthetic value, it also is crumbling structurally.
"As far as the building goes, it's old it and needs a lot of help," said Pete Schwedersky a maintenance worker and zamboni driver at the arena.
Despite the structural damages, Ohio State coach and BG alumnus John Markell sees a simple solution to fix one of the arena's biggest problems.
"What's wrong with that rink? As an opposing coach all I see that rink needs is lighting," Markell said.
Despite Markell's views, the rink also needs new compressors to make ice, better ventilation and is structurally unstable to live that much longer into the future.
It appeared the arena would get a proper facelift this spring, however due to economic reasons, the $4 million in planned renovations were suspended.
The life of the Ice Arena, and possibly the hockey program, is likely to be decided within the next few months as University president Carol Cartwright has put together a committee to review the future of the Ice Arena.
The committee seems promising for the hockey program, as two former BG coaches (Jack Vivian and Ron Mason) are part of the committee.
For Markell, the delayed rink renovations are even more frustrating, considering the University is going to build a $36 million convocation center, primarily for basketball.
"The $36 million basketball arena amazed me," Markell said. "The students wouldn't vote for that to go into the rink. The [hockey] program that has won them a national championship and put them on the map. I don't know, maybe that's because the kids are naive of what it used to be."
Once A Powerhouse:
When Markell was a player at BG students couldn't show up to the game at game time and get a seat.
"If you were going to get in you had to get it in early," Markell said. "It was a new sport; we had the bleacher creatures. That was a different time in their storied history."
While Markell played at BG during winning times, most current undergraduate students were toddlers the last time BG made an NCAA tournament.
Current Michigan coach Red Berenson took over in Ann Arbor one year after BG brought home the school's only national title. That same year, current BG coach Scott Paluch was a freshman defenseman for the defending national champs.
"I remember Bowling Green being a top team in the conference back then," Berenson told The BG News in early January. "They had a lot of talent and I remember Scotty Paluch being a top recruit and offensive defenseman for that program."
In the past 25 years, Central Collegiate Hockey Association teams like Berenson's Wolverines, have continued to improve, while the Falcons have taken an opposite path.
Since BG's national title, six different CCHA teams have made an appearance in the Frozen Four — most recently Miami in its overtime loss to Boston University last Saturday night.
And since 1990, Alaska-Fairbanks is the only other CCHA team not to get an NCAA tournament bid. But after a fourth place conference finish in 2008-09, it seems the Nanooks have turned the corner away from mediocrity.
Almost gone:
Rumors that the hockey program would be cut picked up steam after Bowling Green's Sentinel-Tribune published an article with the gloomy prediction on March 10. But BG Athletic Director Greg Christopher put those rumors to rest in an open letter to BG fans one week later.
"I wanted to let you know that we will field all 18 of our sports teams for the 2009-10 school year," Christopher wrote in the letter.
Numerous attempts to reach Christopher for this story were unsuccessful.
Among the rumors, one of the most pressing issues was that Cartwright was president at Kent State when their hockey program was cut on April 13, 1994.
In seven seasons in the CCHA, Kent struggled and never finished above seventh in the season standings. According to Cartwright, the situation at Kent was much different. A committee, much like the one put together for the BGSU Ice Arena right now, decided it was better to downgrade to a club program rather than struggle in the CCHA.
"Do you really think I would have found my way to BG just to cut a hockey program?" Cartwright told The BG News on March 17. "The Kent program had absolutely nothing to do with my preferences."
Cartwright said she had no idea how the rumors about the program's demise grew so strong but put emphasis on the point that athletics, like all things, have to make some cuts with the current economy.
BG hockey, for now not among those cuts, will indeed be around in 2009-10.
But as it stands today, the program continues to lack a clear direction back to the place it held 25 years ago — in the rafters above college hockey's biggest stage.

Thoughts On Having Another Baby Girl
After the shock wore off that we were having another baby girl, we've finally gotten over not having a little boy in our family.
When we found out we were expecting our second child, of course we hoped for a happy and healthy baby. However, both my husband and I started hoping for a baby boy. We'd have the American Dream. Big sister and little brother to make our family complete.
As we anxiously awaited the date of our anatomy scan, where first and foremost we'd make sure baby was healthy, we also were on pins and needles waiting to see if we'd get our little boy, even though big sister Abby was convinced she was getting a baby sister.
My husband had trepidations of a boy because he had visions of a second girl before we were even pregnant, and his premonitions from a dream about building a princess castle in our garage before we found out our oldest was a girl proved to be accurate. I however, started leaning towards boy because this pregnancy has been way different than my first with Abby. I had to be carrying a boy, right? Ultimately, we were both hoping for the words, "It's a boy!"
During our anatomy scan, we didn't hesitate one second to tell the technician that we wanted to find out the gender. About halfway through the scan, she stopped, froze an image, and I knew right away. Those three lines meant another girl. It was pretty uneventful. Well a lot less so since we've been through this before.
At first I was a little sad we wouldn't have our boy since I knew this was our last child. I quickly got over that, though and realized the awesomeness of having two girls. Sisters.
For one thing, Abby's birthday is in November, baby sister is due almost exactly a month later in December, so, you know, the saving of all the clothes for the past almost 4 years had totally paid off. My finances are grateful for this baby sister. She'll be roughly the same age during the same months Abby was, so baby sister's wardrobe is all taken care of. Until she gets old enough to start begging and pleading with us to have some new clothing options in her wardrobe that is. That should be interesting.
As well, I know how girls work. Diaper rashes. Yeast infections. Potty training. All of those we've dealt with Abby, so I feel like a seasoned pro. Of course there's the emotional girl part we've already got practice with our little threenager. And we'll have four years in between them so my husband and I will be rested enough by the time baby sister is going through those some stages, though we'll be entering new stages with Abby. She'll be practice after all.
Also, so many people have this preconceived notion that little girls are all about pink and princesses and ballet. Yes Abby is well versed in all those little girl aspects, however, she's just as much into playing football, soccer, digging in dirt, crashing cars into each other, wrestling with daddy, and knowing all there is to know about dinosaurs and bugs. So we both know that our lives will not be paved in only pink satin roads. We'll show baby sister she can do whatever she wants in life as well, and we'll continue to have well rounded children. I'm also grateful for this because I've never been a pink loving Barbie doll playing girly girl either.
Then there is the whole sisterly bond aspect. I never had a sister, by I'm very close with my cousin. We often tell people we are like sisters who didn't have to see each other all the time, though we did have our moments of torturing each other on family weekend time. But the bonding of sisters, well that's pretty amazing. I've seen it with friends and I know, though they will have their moments of disliking each other as that's a part of being a sibling, they will grow up with a bond no other can know. And they'll have each other to confide in when they're not a fan of talking with mom and dad.
Though my husband wouldn't have minded a little testosterone to even things out in our family, nor would I have minded either, we are very happy to have baby sister joining our family. Our American Dream is whatever we make it out to be, two little girls running in tow even. Though I know when the day comes to add that dog my husband and Abby have been pining over wanting, and I'm sure they'll get baby sister on their side soon enough, well, I bet that dog is going to be a boy. We've got to get a little boy action in after all!

Do I have to have a technician come to my house to move my router? I need to move my desktop computer to another room in teh house. The room it is currently in has the battery box and the router. I cant find anywhere online on this.
Is this for FiOS or for DSL?
you get internet through the coax cable. What that means for you, is that you can technically move the router to whatever room you want as long as it has access to a working coax cable that is connected to the FiOS System (if you have working fios tv in a room, then it's safe to say you have access to a working coax cable that is connected to the fios system)
You may need a coax splitter (5-1000mhz) to accomplish this, if there isn't one already in the room. This will enable you to move the router closer to your computers for better access

Shopping for Your Unborn Baby: Learning the Basics
Helpful tips on choosing what basics to buy to prepare for your new baby
Making a List
How exactly do you go about getting what you need for your little one? First, make a list of the essentials and extras that you'd like. From basic baby gear to feeding supplies and layette items, our handy checklists are great for knowing what to buy and how much. You can find them here at the BabyZone's Checklist Library.
Talking with other moms is another great way to figure out what you really need. After all, moms have already done the research firsthand! Whatever you do, don't get stressed out—as important as some of these items are, most are not necessary right away. Your baby needs your loving arms more than anything.
If you already have a child or have baby clothes that were given to you by a relative or friend, take an inventory of what you have and make a checklist of what you will still need before you buy anything.

What is we solve Pi
I was wondering what would happen if someone found out that Pi had a remainder of 0 down the line, some billion or trillion or whatever decimels away.
What implications would this have for practical sciences?
All thoughts appreciated, ty.
You're asking: what would happen if we eventually discovered that pi was a rational number?
It would break a very large amount of the mathematical machinery that we have created to date.
- Warren
Pi is proven to be irrational, so no danger there.
It would be a proof by contradiction of something, most likely that the algorithm used to compute the digits is wrong.
If the universe were perfectly euclidean (all straight lines are really straight, defined in terms of parallel lines) then your question would be nonsense, but since we know that the geometry of spacetime trajectories is non-euclidean, and not perfectly understood/classified, I can for the sake of discussion consider that we inhabit a universe where every perfect measurement of a circles radius and circumfrence would have these commeasurate (that is, in a rational ratio).
This would have less of an effect on macroscopic physics then quantum mechanics, and QM already has very little effect.
Thank you for the expert replies.
Who proved Pi to be irrational and could a math novice such as I understand such a proof?
Also, why do mathematician's bother to further refine Pi's value to millions of decimel places, are there formulas that scientists use that make more accurate predictions based on futher refinements on Pi? Perhaps, we can more accurately send a shuttle into orbit or something like this, or is this off base.
See for instance Is e Normal? about this but then for e.
No, there is no particular use for calculating [itex]\pi[/itex] to many decimal places, at least with regard to any practical problem. My computer can calculate [itex]\pi[/itex] to 100,000 digits in a second, and that is with 77 Firefox windows, two Maple windows, music playing, and a number of other programs running (for some reason I've never liked tabs much :wink:)! If I required it, I could have 10,000,000 digits in half an hour. Even at the 1,000 digit level there would be no practical calculation that wouldn't include other sources of uncertainty much, much larger.
I'm sure there are many proofs of pi's irrationality online. Just google "proof that pi is irrational," or some such.
Here's a proof, and in the first sentence it says who proved it first. You can follow it if you know calculus. There's not really anything to understand though. It seems they arrived at a useful inequality more or less by luck.
No, I see no reason for that. Certainly we can imagine a world where ratio of circumference to diameter of some circles is 3. No need to introduce pi at all.
(I said some circles because while in Euclidean geometry that ratio is the same for all circles, pi, in any non-Euclidean geometry, it varies with the size of the circle.)
Simplest Definition for Pi - Ratio of the Circumference to the Diameter of a Circle IN EUCLIDEAN SPACE.
If we were in a different space where the ratio of rational, we would make bigger problems for ourselves by using pi because since pi is irrational, the constant by which you multiply pi to get this rational value must also be irrational and an expression involving pi. I seemed to be quite confusing there...
I agree with you all, archimede's constant [tex] \pi [/tex] is a well defined irrational number, sorry for the confusion.
Because of the following remark:
I realize this is the math forum, but the math interpretation of the OP's question is so nonsensical I treated it as a misplaced physics question.
What if pi was based in a different system. There could be a different base or altogether different way to add up numbers. Think of a quadratic number system instead of base10, base2, etc...
In any other integer base than 10, pi is still irrational.
n/m. scratch that.

Many months ago we lost our old friend Copper. He was the best beagle in the world. He grew up with my three boys and was part of the family. It was hard to say farewell. One of my sons said we should adopt another pup who needs a home. I agreed it could help with that hole in our hearts.
We can never ever replace Copper. But we can offer a loving home to a pup who needs one. Ok so I have three boys, three dogs and a gunea pig! What a great family huh?
Well one of my face book friends knew I had lost Copper and has been making suggestions of dogs to adopt. I went to Pet Smart one weekend, just to look! Ha.
That's where I met Krissy Ya Ya! She is a yorkie mix. She looks like a female Benji. If you recall the old movie of the homeless adorable dog? That's her. She is perfect and perfectly adorable! She is so good and for the most part is house broken. But she is so easy and wonderful. She loves to tag along with me just about everywhere. I agreed to foster her for a while. But now she has stolen my heart and I want to give her a forever home!
Why am I telling you all this? Because if you are even thinking about getting a pet, check out Rebecca's Paws and Claws at Pet Smart in Trussville on the weekends. These are dogs and cats rescued from a kill shelter. And somehow, I think they know just how lucky they are!
God Bless!

Books aligned the cupboard racks--
It was no fancy place;
Tables, chairs(maybe backpacks--
Of students--in this case)
Lay about this little room at the school
Where i met her first.
Here, a flimsy argument,
Rose over something she had:
Made me think, '' she's a nut-case
Or maybe lost it just a tad''
Now that would've been the end all
But we were to meet again--
In college we shared a section--
The knowing her began:
Talks developed in the science lab
And computer class;
I'd discovered an introvert--
A fascinating lass...
Soon enough we were friends,
A trust built up sublime;
Close pals we had grown
By passage of this time:
A girl who was a silent lamb,
All wary with her word,
Stubborn, crazy, and brainy,
With me was a chirpy bird...
Not to mention, her silence
And prudence of everyday
Gave her the power to have her wish--
(With me)she always had her way...
Thrills were great, joyous moments
Were ever by our side,
But reality has in it's store
Things set to decide...
The end of lovely college days,
Makes the rest a history...
I only hope like our last depart,
There hides another mystery,
For i don't feel this'd be the end-all
But i would meet again--
Like college where we shared a past,
Where everything began--
To share a verbal escapade
Once more with the 'silent girl'.
I hope to meet again this friend
For a new tale to unfurl....

Kearns High went into a "soft" lockdown Thursday after a student posted a message on Twitter threatening to blow up the school, police said.
The 17-year-old student has been charged in 3rd District Juvenile Court with one felony count of making a terroristic threat, said Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal.

|Post a Comment
Hoyal said the police department received an anonymous call from someone who had seen the student's social media account.
"This student had posted that he was going to blow up Kearns High School … and there were pictures of explosives," Hoyal said. "Although no malicious intent, but joking aside, he's looking at serious charges for a joke."
Granite School District spokesman Ben Horsley said Kearns High was briefly on a soft lockdown, which meant no one could enter or exit the school.
A Kearns school resource officer verified the Twitter threat. Afterward, the student was found outside school at a restaurant, Horsley said.
"We have to take these threats seriously for students' safety," Hoyal said.

Alimta (pemetrexed) and Platinol (cisplatin)
Platinol (cisplatin) and Gemzar (gemcitabine)
Platinol (cisplatin) and Adriamycin (doxorubicin)
If the tumor is small and in your chest or stomach, the drug of choice is often Platinol. It is given as local treatment, directly to the area of the tumor.
If you have advanced mesothelioma, most doctors recommend the combination of Alimta and Platinol, if you are able to tolerate it.
Sometimes your doctor may use chemotherapy with an immunotherapy drug called interferon in the chest or stomach. Other drugs called targeted therapies are also being studied for use against mesothelioma.

Setbacks in the hopeful open sky policy for ASEAN, as well as more nervy news for Egypt's declining fiscal health round off this week's headlines highlighted by our research analysts:
The Wall Street Journal wrote an article on ASEAN's open sky policy setbacks due to Indonesia:
"A good example showcasing the good intentions of the community and their positive impact on commerce in the region, but the unfortunate slow progress due to its consensus based approach of ratifying policies."
- Shishir Sinha, Research Analyst for Asia Pacific
Arham Online, an Egyptian news website, reported currency reserves declining as Egypt's state grain buyer steps aside:
"Egypt's announcement that it is running out of wheat reserves is very troubling. Currency has weakened 15% since 2011 and FX reserves are down to US$13.6 billion. So it is becoming more expensive to import wheat and Egypt is running out of money to pay for it. Any significant spike in global commodity prices, a drought in Russia or Ukraine, etc. could lead to a larger economic crisis."
- Matthew Spivack, Practice Leader for the Middle East and Africa
The Financial Times' Beyondbrics blog, centered on emerging market news and also frequently read by FSG, posted a potential pulse in the Brazilian economy; the optimistic sentiment is not universally shared with regional executives:
"Though the Central Bank of Brazil is now stating that economic growth came in stronger than expected in 2012, this contrasts substantially from the sentiments our senior executives operating out of Brazil have expressed to FSG over the last few months. Most senior executives continue to see Brazil suffering from a sharp slowdown through the beginning of this year."

If you are using fresh local tomatoes at their peak, they may be very juicy. After coring, strain the excess liquid through a fine-mesh strainer, reserving ½ cup to add to the dish in step 3. Plum tomatoes are preferred because they hold their shape better than larger tomato varieties; they are usually sweeter and less acidic as well. However, any type of tomato will suffice, especially vine ripened tomatoes at the height of summer.
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Fill the tomatoes loosely with hashu.
3. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil into a large ovenproof saucepan or roaster. Place the stuffed tomatoes in the pan so they are upright. Sprinkle with the salt. Drizzle some of the lemon juice into the center of each tomato. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon oil liberally around pan. Dollop a teaspoon of ouc over each tomato and sprinkle with the sugar, if desired.
4. Cover and roast in the oven for about 40 minutes. Remove the cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the juices have thickened.
The tamarind fruit yields an intriguing flavor that appears in the cuisines of India, Southeast Asia, Persia, and Mexico. Tamarind is redolent of apricots and dates and imparts a tangy, sour flavor. It is used as a base for sauces, a condiment, a soft drink flavoring, a sweetmeat, and as a folk remedy for ailing intestines, livers, and kidneys.
Tamarind also has a connection to the Middle East. For one thing, the word "tamarind" is derived from the Arabic tamr hindi, meaning "Indian date." Tamarind first appeared in the souqs of the Levant from India via Persia around the seventh and eighth centuries. Despite its place in Persian cuisine, tamarind never gained wide acceptance in the Middle Eastern repertoire.
Aleppian Jews, however, flavor many of their dishes with tamarind concentrate, or ouc (pronounced OO-c), and many still make ouc from scratch, despite the widespread availability of quality concentrates in local Syrian food shops. It's important to use a good-quality tamarind; it can make or break a dish. Some ouc specialists start out with 20 or 30 pounds of tamarind pulp, enough for at least several months'–if not a full year's–supply.
Ouc is derived from the pulp found in the pods that grow from the hardy tamarind tree. Latin American, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern grocers sell dried tamarind pods and cakes of the pulp, intact or compressed in large sticky blocks.
To make ouc, the pulp is soaked and strained to remove any seeds and plant matter, and to extract the fruit's flavor. This soaking and straining procedure is repeated up to 3 times. The tamarind liquid is reduced by half and then combined with sugar and lemon juice and boiled until viscous, nearly black, and lip-smackingly sour. It is fine to use ouc sparingly, as it can last for a year in the fridge.
Ouc is a subtler souring agent than lemon, tangier than pomegranate syrup, and has a deeper flavor than tomato. Ouc while itself rather acidic, enhances other acids, such as tomato paste, apricot, and lemon juice, rounding them out with a vibrant tang and earthiness.

The pictures and the stories from the aftermath of the Midwest tornadoes have a lot of Americans wondering, how can I help?

Even during tragedies, there are usually scammers who want to take something, even from those who've lost everything.
The Better Business Bureau warns those in the affected areas to beware of storm-chasers, shady out-of-town contractors who may offer quick fixes to a home or business, and skip town before they deliver.
They advise checking that a contractor is licensed and registered by your state or local agency. Don't pay for a job upfront, and pay by credit card if possible. That may give more protections.
For those who want to donate money to victims, research a charity through a third party site before giving.
Reputable charities rarely solicit over the internet, so be wary of emails with embedded links that claim to be from a relief organization, they could be a scam.

Would you like to add your own explaination to this word 'Market'?
Wikipedia Meaning and Definition on 'Market'
A market is a place where people go to buy or sell things. When people have products to sell, they set up a market place. There may be a special building for the market place, or the market may be held in an open space where the sellers can put up a stall (like a kind of tent) and then take the stall down at the end of the day.
The word market can also have a more general meaning in the economy. It can mean the way things are bought or sold. "There is a big market for dishwashers" means that lots of people want to buy dishwashers, so therefore a business that makes dishwashers is likely to be able to make a lot of money. When things are sold, people buy the product, and this "stimulates the economy" (helps people to spend and earn money). The market needs to balance supply and demand. There is no point in supplying (making) lots of dishwashers if people do not want them. In the market prices may change quickly if supply or demand changes.[See more about Market at Dictionary 3.0 Encyclopedia]

Officer quizzed in misconduct probe
Jun 15 2012
A serving police superintendent continues to be questioned over allegedly passing unauthorised information to a journalist.
The City of London Police officer was arrested by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) on suspicion of misconduct in a public office.
He was taken into custody on Thursday after Metropolitan Police officers investigating payments by journalists to public officials passed information to the IPCC.
The continued questioning comes as three people were bailed as part of Operation Elveden, Scotland Yard's investigation into allegations of inappropriate payments to police, which is being supervised by the IPCC.
A 40-year-old man and 37-year-old woman were arrested by officers from Operation Elveden at their homes in Corby, Northamptonshire, while a 31-year-old man was arrested at his home in Croydon, Surrey, a Scotland Yard spokesman said.
The 40-year-old, a former prison officer, was arrested on suspicion of corruption, suspicion of misconduct in a public office and suspicion of money laundering offences.
The woman was arrested on suspicion of aiding and abetting misconduct in a public office and suspicion of money laundering offences.
The 31-year-old man, believed to be a Sun journalist, was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to corrupt and suspicion of conspiracy to cause misconduct in a public office. They have all been bailed until October.

What did you think of Lumiere Noire pour Homme vs Voleur de Roses?
Thread: New to the Fragrance Game
I am a new collector of Fragrances of all kinds, mainly colognes, and this is my first cologne review video feat. Ralph Lauren's - Polo Blue. What do you guys think of this aquatic scent? Likes? Dislikes?
Last edited by socalwoman; 16th April 2012 at 01:32 PM. Reason: link
Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren - One is initially treated to a fruity melange of melons, cucumber and tangerine; the sweetness thereof diluted by the watery freshness and somewhat medicinal flavor of the cucumber. This appealing opening meanders to the perky middle. Here, light piney sage, sweet, anise-like basil and bitter geranium stew with the freshness of the opening, imparting some pep to the lackadaisical fruitiness. The brewing spicy heart is beckoned by the signature base. A confluence of soft, leather suede, sweet amber wood, heady patchouli, velvety moss and sheer musk subsumes the spicy fruits, and carries the composition to its green drydown. This ho-hum composition has poor longevity - lasting 4-5 hours, and poor projection - 2 hours at most.
The same response for your identical thread in the Male Fragrance Discussion Forum.

When their puppet dictators are forced to retire, Europe and the US want to cut the umbilical cord and "befriend" with the revolutionists who have been repressed by their poodles--with their "aid", weapons and torture techniques--for the past half century.
they also have the decency to say "Gee, I had no idea how you guys had been treated, it was all the dictators' fault," and ask politely "when you're done revolting, could you go back to digging oil for us and let us exploit you again?"
How noble.
There is no doubt in my mind that this Realpolitik was the right choice. It is not up to us to choose foreign governments, and as long as they have internal legitimacy, meaning that there is no significant oppostion agains them, that's more or less it. When they lose this legitimacy, you adapt your policies to that new fact. In the end that is exactly what local elites also did: almost all of them collaborated with the regimes in place, for exactly the same reason: they had no choice. Will they all be guillotined ? Of course not, they'll be the "new" democratic elites... I am quite sure that Tunisians and Egyptians will understand that it made more sense to engage with their dictatorships than to cut all links and destroy the economies of their countries (tourism, remittances from emigrants, infrastructure, etc.). Sarkozy did the right thing by firing Alliot-Marie over the Arab awakening and symbolically reset the relationship. It looks kind of bad now, but it will look very good in a couple of years, provided all the sweet talk is followed by actions, which is by no means certain in the present geriatric atmosphere in Europe.
It is interesting to note that France has taken certain actions alone such as sending aid directly to the rebel province.
It appears even a founding member of the EU knows that getting the EU to act as an entity is a long and tiresome process which in the end is timid and toothless because different countries have different interests.
Why was it not the EU sending aid directly to the rebel province?
Prehaps it is time to end the mockery of EU foreign policy.
Individual European countries are more effective in foreign policy.
"We can not watch as civilians are massacred in Libya." says Europe. Very interesting indeed, how come they just watch rebels crashed to nothing and civilians getting maimed and killed everyday in countries like; Sirilanka, Somalia, North Uganda, Sudan, Earetria to name but a few?
We all know Europeans care more about oil than humanity in that region of the world, let's be honest for once.
"Oil-for-Freedom" is the wrong choice of words by the Economist. Europe's southern neighbors are decent human beings and are entitled to their freedom regardless. One wonders whether Arab oil is a blessing or curse to the Arab masses.
The different ways the European countries are tackling the fall of the Arab regimes shows clearly how far they are from a real union . Instead of following a common foreign policy they go on scattered , each one pursuing its own interests. The thing, besides being very sad, is even very worrying. After the end of World War II it was clear that the economic and cultural supremacy of Europe waned, while U.S.A. and the Soviet Union achieved the leading role of superpowers. By the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the current one we watched the spectacular – almost – unexpected raise of two of the most populated country of the World, China and India, while Russia, although the fall of Communist system, is still one of the more powerful nation of the World. In such a scenario poor Europe is condemned to become sooner or later a colony of one of those bigger countries, unless it decides once for all to join together in a real political and economical union. All the European countries should try to do their best efforts in order to achieve that purpose. First of all, Great Britain which European sentiment has always been very timid and which has to decide once for all if it wants to become a European country in the strict sense of the world or remain an island facing the continent.
Europe is just asked to be as pragmatic as it was before these uprisings, simply by supporting the new players
I am not very keen on realpolitik because I believe that, bringing immediate results in the short period it's ineffective and even self-defeating in the long period. The fear of western countries that the falling of the long time regimes in North Africa would have smoothed the way for Islamic extremists and, of course, their need for gas and oil, drove them simply to turn their head away and pretend that they just didn't know the atrocities and the evil all those dictatorships made. This short-sighted behaviour was based, in the worst case, on the illogic assumption that all those dictators would have lasted for ever, without wandering what would have happened after their end and, in the best case, on the believing that the decline of those regimes would have taken place in a long relatively quiet setting, letting western politicians the time of thinking how to relate with the new governments. Now they suddenly realize that sometimes world changes blow out all of a sudden, jus as if the fall of the Berlin wall or the Twin Towers attack wouldn't have taught us that things could change overnight. To tell the truth, changes really don't happen out of the blue, but they are always announced by more or less evident warning signs. The problem is that if you are blinded with realpolitik you probably couldn't see them.
"Would you feel guilt about your friendship? Remorse about having ignored the telltale signs? Or would you feign outrage, like Captain Renault's in "Casablanca": "I am shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!"
Casablanca is a response to Mers el Kebir bBrits backstabbing, but the Marseillaise wasn't feigned !
ol right Britain is like a virgin LMAO
Got to repeat my posts again and again, as you keep on passing under the teppish Brit dusts:
"check who sold arms to Libya lately
"jetfighters sold in 1970 years, when Kadhafi was hold as a good guy and had the appearances of a new modern leader.
"Le plus gros contrat passé avec la Libye, en 2007, portait sur la "remise en vol" de Mirage F1 vendus en 1973 à Tripoli qui n'étaient plus en état de voler. Un contrat "très partiellement exécuté", a insisté Laurent Teisseire."
The whole fleet of mirages is worn out and only a few can fly:
"Apparently Dassault only returned 4 Libyan Mirages to flight-ready status. With 2 F1ED now in Malta, that leaves 2 F1BD two-seaters in Libya.
The two-seaters do not have internal guns, and apparently the rockets are from the original stocks delivered around 1980, which is causing headaches in Malta because they are time-expired and potentially unstable. Seems like the pilots were smart to defect, because the rockets might have blown up in their faces on launch!"
"La Libye n'a plus que deux Mirage F1 en état de vol
Les deux autres sont désormais à Malte."
you should know that France biggest arms sales budget is within planes sales, that explains the high sums you can see in statistics
and nuclear energy
a nuclear reactor for desalinating water was in the discussion too, but not confirmed"
Libya: Tony Blair agreed to train Gaddafi's special forces in 'deal in the desert' - Telegraph http://t.co/9qkV7wp
Kadhafi's tent vs British's establishment honoring Kadhafi's sons
"In the third quarter of 2010 alone, according to the Campaign Against Arms trade, the UK licensed over $6mn worth of ammunition to Libya, including sniper rifles and crowd control ammunition, which is suspected to have been used by the regime to suppress demonstrators"
etc... etc...
so who is trying to throw dust at one's eyes?
Britain is deeply involved within Kadhafi wealth, as so is Italy
Sarkozy had to acknowledge that firing out Gaullists from key positionned Ministeries was a big mistake. France'reputation has centeneries, it's not the epiphenomenal Sarko meteorism that can change that
Big foreign companies doing business with Libya
oh I forgot, who told the world in 2007 that Kadhafi was a new born good leader?
Bush and his puddle !
"Of the big European countries, Angela Merkel's Germany has been the firmest advocate of ostracising dictators. France suffered humiliation in Tunisia"
aw come on, Germany didn't know on which foot to step on !
France humiliation?
no, Tunisians were wearing french flags and our "Droits de L'homme" constitution mottos too, check the right papers !
"Tony Blair helped rehabilitate Colonel Qaddafi as a reward for giving up his weapons of mass destruction, forsaking terrorism and helping out in the fight against al-Qaeda."
LMAO, officially, but behind the curtains?
""Europe was not vocal enough in defending human rights and local democratic forces in the region."
Ms Ashton anyone ? London tea time !!!
Are we sure that Qaddafi is losing?? People, who live in the zones of Libya involved in the civil war, say that most of what we read in newspapers and see in TV is not true...
Read this article, it makes clear the situation in Libya: http://muscvlvs.blogspot.com/2011/03/are-we-sure-that-qaddafi-is-losing....
Everyone has fully known what is going on in the middle east and their dictators and authoritarian governments. Everyone has turned a blind eye, EU, US, China, the rest. Now we pretend we had no idea and put sanctions on them to look good in public opinion, because we certainly does not support dictators.
Outrageous like all no democratic corrupt political regimes around the world and most of all in the west.
Funny to see Sarko calling back A. Juppé, a true gaullist to take on the foreign policy office. It's better late than never...
Sarkozy's foreign policy has been a disaster and a prejudice for France's international credibility. The reason is quite simple actually, and it's that our current President has no strategy, he only has occurrences. He gets up every morning, check the opinion polls and while drinking his coffee thinks "So, what can I do today? Where does real business goes in all this mess?". No ideals, no vision, no strategy, no plan. He is just a market-driven politician and the French version of US and UK neocons. It's high time France gets back to a truly republican gaullist foreign policy, which could start with:
-Reasserting French core values, loud and clear.
-Military intervention under UN or EU mandate only.
-Withdrawing from NATO
-Return to an independant thinking policy, especially toward the arab world
-Re-empowering French embassies worldwide
-Get political support of other arab states to take military actions in Lybia
Oh, come on...Everyone in Europe and America knew and supported dictatorial regimes of Middle East.
I'm a Muslim in America and I do not support such laws as Foreigners can not buy land in Saudi. The dictatorial laws are not just and they are not only supported by Arab regimes but by Oil greedy European/American governments too.
@ Maximus zeebra:
"Now we pretend we had no idea and put sanctions on them to look good in public opinion, because we certainly does not support dictators.
You're right, we certainly don't support the overthrown dictators. But we'll certainly supported those dictators who'll take the place of the overthrown one. 'Cause it's 100 per cent sure that the whole "new" strain of the Mideast rulers will be as dictatorial as the previous one. Fancy a bet?
There are only so many issues a nation can tackle at once. Europe has long been somewhat awkward in dealing with realpolitik vs. confrontation as far as dictators go. Note the difficulty a lot of Europe had with Thatcher and Reagan in "tearing down the wall" - it wasn't the principle of the thing. People of Europe rightly feared Communism. It was the strong tone Reagan and Thatcher took against it. Reagan and Thatcher were in no mood to compromise with what they thought was an evil regime. They were not afely "accomodationist". That's safe politics - accomodation. It gets you votes. However, it rarely gets results.
"Europe's leaders are now trying to disown their years of realpolitik, and instead make the cry of the Arab street their own."
Aping "the cry of the Arab street" is not different one bit from the realpolitik of the past - it's just a new realpolitik. No doubt Charlemagne understands that only pretty well, but feels shy to say it openly. PC still rules, right, Charlie?
Fascinating discussion.
Now, what all this hand-wringing tells us about Europe and US high-minded protestations over Brazil's foreign policy regarding its neighbours Cuba, Bolivia and Venezuela?
A lot of hypocritical, holier-than-thou blah-blah-blah, don't you think?
Good fences make good neighbours
This picture showing Sarkozy and Merkel cutting the dinner table is absolutely ludicrous.When the time will come of removing Gheddafi,those already involved deeply in Libya(first of all Italy)and those who granted peace in the Mediterraean and the survival of Israel(the Americans)will be at the head of the operation.The rest will follow.
@ perguntador:
"...high-minded protestations over Brazil's foreign policy regarding its neighbours Cuba, Bolivia and Venezuela"
What, Dilma decided to borrow nukes from the Pakis and use them against Chavez' buddies? Interesting development indeed.

Mace: The Dark Age (1997) was the Western Fighting Game response to Soul Edge, except much darker. Made by Atari and published by Midway, it has a small cult following.The world as we know it in this one is a complete Crapsack World, Europe is in a permanent dark age as petty warlords bide for power through war and oppression, Arabia under the cruel grasp of the Assassin's Guild and the Far East is about to witness the destruction brought upon Europe and Arabia. And God is seemingly unable to save the world from suffering or cleanse the world and start over.The reason the world is such as terrible place is due to seven men known as the Covenant of Seven who made a Deal with the Devil who has the Mace of Tanis. At the cost of their sanity they are given near eternal life and the power of a demon and in exchange is expected to do evil thing in his name. The recent chain of events made Asia the next target of the warlords who seek the powers.Unfortunately however the warlords from the ravaged lands of Europe and Arabia want more power, dispatch their best warriors to kill Asmodeus and steal his power. Leaders from the East sense Asmodeus' plottings and strive to destroy him before it's too late. Heirs to kingdoms long since vanquished seek revenge on Asmodeus and those who wield the dark energy. They are the fiercest fighters on Earth, and they all have one thing in common: they each must possess the Mace.
Tropes of Mace: The Dark Age:

Real-life tips for better sleep
Your first step: Acceptance
The three habits that experts consider cold, hard proof of sleep deprivation: You rely on caffeine to make it through the day, every day (even with a good night's sleep); you can't wake up on time without an alarm; and on weekends you have to sleep in for hours.
Quit considering sleep a luxury
Experts say too many young women view sleep as a treat, like a facial or new shoes. "Consider sleep as crucial to well-being as proper diet and exercise," says Kristen Knutson, Ph.D.
Increase hours painlessly
Go to bed 15 minutes earlier every night for a week, then add another 15 the next week and so on, says Joseph Ojile, M.D.: "Tiny increments are less daunting but can make a major difference. In a month, you'll be sleeping an hour more every night."
Trick out your bedroom
Set the thermometer 3 degrees below your daytime norm—65 to 68 degrees for most of us. Your body temp naturally drops when you sleep, and a cool room helps it along. Dim lamps before bedtime, too; light makes your pineal gland inhibit melatonin, a hormone that regulates your sleep cycle.
Resist the siren call of the screen
Shut down your iStuff, TV and computer an hour before you crash; artificial light fools your brain's hypothalamus (the part that transitions you into sleep) into thinking it's daytime. If you absolutely can't resist a peek at email, at least hold the phone at arm's length to minimize the effects.
Don't drink and sleep
Middle-of-the-night bladder calls aren't doing your good night's sleep any favors, so try not to down a lot of liquid before bedtime—especially anything alcoholic. Although booze can make you drowsy right after you drink it, several hours later you might wake up; experts hypothesize that's because falling blood alcohol levels disrupt your sleep, particularly R.E.M.—the deepest kind.
Beat that 2 a.m. wide-eyes thing
Wakefulness issues—lying in bed totally alert in the middle of the night, getting up earlier than you want to—are common sleep problems, even if insomnia gets all the attention. White noise helps; the steady whir of a fan or a wave machine can soothe you into slumber and cancel out middle-of-the-night car horns and your partner's snoring (plus frustration about said snoring).

You see Tory Lane's thoroughly penetrated asshole there? Yep, right now those cockboys are busy reaming the filthy bitch's other holes, but when that butthole gets even a teeny bit tighter from being neglected in this scene, they're going to go back to it real quick and stretch it out even more!
And to think that they're only getting started in this scene, because these fuckers have been waiting for a whore who was into anal penetration for so long, all that frustrated, pent-up fucking energy just built up in 'em and finally let loose only with this unfortunate skank. Well heck, Tory can handle 'em. Hope she doesn't waddle too much from the pain when it's all over though!
