I'm very sorry to hear about your uncle.

What is the cause of that organs shortage if so many people die every day? Also, were not full organs cloned/synthetized using stem cells yet?
Unfortunately many people are not organ donors and even if they were there are problems of compatibility and logistics (i.e. how you transport those organs in time). Regenerative medicine is a growing field and there have been many breakthroughs in recent years with simple tissues like those found in the trachea but we are a long way from growing whole, viable organs.
Quote by
Why are they removing whole organs instead of manually using precision machines to remove only the cancer tissue?
Sometimes it is a problem of identifying the tumour, other times the problem is that by removing the tumour you irrecoverably damage the organ and thus it will die anyway. A bigger problem though is that whilst tumours are macroscopic there can still be microscopic cancer cells left behind and (in the case of metastatic cancers) in the process of migrating through the body. Some of these cells can latch on to tissues and begin growing organs again.
We have come a long way in cancer therapies over the last few decades but it is still an incredibly complex and difficult to treat condition. There are constant improvements to therapies but unfortunately we will not get to the stage where suddenly all cancers are trivial to treat. More likely we will make incremental, slow but steady progress (at different rates for different cancers) until eventually we look back and realise how different things were at a great remove.

Idiosyncratic Volatility and Product Market Competition
AbstractThis Paper investigates the link between a firm's competitive environment and the idiosyncratic volatility of its stock returns. We find that firms enjoying high market power, or established in concentrated industries, have lower idiosyncratic volatility. We posit that competition affects volatility in two distinct and inter-related ways. Market power works as a hedging instrument that smoothes out idiosyncratic fluctuations. At the same time, a high degree of market power implies lower information uncertainty for investors and therefore lower return volatility. We find strong support for both effects. Our results contribute to the understanding of recent trends of idiosyncratic volatility, and confirm the important link between stock market performance and the competitive environment of firms.

Almost Thanksgiving - May the Force Be With You6 Reviews
The night before Thanksgiving Monica and Gerard learn they have much in common
The girls who were enrolled in the same school Gerard and Mikey had attended had already left. Donna and Monica sipped their coffee in silence. Donna spoke first, "So what do you think of Gerard? I know you two didn't exactly hit it off at first but please realize there are so many things about Gerard that you don't know."
Leave it to Donna just to come out and ask. This was a hard one to answer for Monica. Before she could reply the house phone rang.
"Monica its for you" Seeing her surprised look she added "It's Brian "
Ten minutes latter Monica had a job. She would be working in Brian's office as an assistant doing all sorts of tasks. The job sounded great and she was really looking forward to starting tomorrow. The most surprising thing however was when Brian mentioned that it had been Gerard who had suggested her for the job. He had told Brian he thought Monica would be perfect, that she had a natural ability for working with people. Nice praise coming from a guy who had been so suspicious of her.
The next two days flew by. Monica loved her job in Brian's office. She met so many great people. Because Thanksgiving was tomorrow Brian has told her to leave a bit early so she could help Donna with all her holiday preparations. When she arrived at the house she was surprised to see Gerard and Mikey watching T.V. They had gotten back earlier than expected. They both looked up and smiled when she came in.
"Hey Monica" Mikey called out turning his attention back to the cartoons the brothers were watching. Gerard also said hello but instead of looking back at the T.V he continued to look at her.
Monica said hello to them and walked towards the kitchen where she heard Donna humming while working on a pie for tomorrow. She greeted her and they discussed what still needed to be done for the dinner. The house would be full of people and Donna was excited. The first job she gave Monica was digging out the holiday tablecloth and napkins. There were actually two large tablecloths and two smaller ones because they would be setting four tables. The cedar chest was in Donna's bedroom so that was where Monica headed. She had just opened the chest when she felt Gerard's eyes on her. Once again he had snuck up on her.
"How do you do that?" she asked without turning towards him
He walked over to stand just behind her. "How do I do what?"
"You just appear without a sound," she answered looking up at him. She noticed he wore a black t-shirt and black jeans and looked well, he looked good. He was letting his blond hair grow a bit longer and it looked great. Monica tried to stop staring at him.
"Mom said she sent you on a mission to find the tablecloths and I'm here to help."
He kneeled down beside her and started rummaging through the contents of the chest. There were all sorts of treasures. Pictures drawn by the young artists Mikey and Gerard were lovingly stored. Baby clothes, jewelry and more. Monica reached out to touch a beautiful locket that was lying in a small box.
"That belonged to grandma" Gerard told her. "I remember she wore it a lot." His voice was very quiet. "She died in November so its always a hard month for me."
"You still miss her very much" Monica said knowing it was the truth.
"I miss her everyday" he answered "she believed in me even when I didn't. She never let me give up. Even when I was doing stupid shit like the pills and the drinking she told me I would be OK. I really wish she could have been around to see me clean and sober"
Monica reached out to touch his hand "She is still around Gerard. I don't believe the people we love ever really leave us. I'm sure she is very proud of you, how could she not be? You have made such a difference in so many peoples lives"
Gerard looked surprised by her words, "I'm just a singer in a band, I haven't solved world hunger" he whispered "or cured cancer"
"Gerard you may not have cured it but you have given a voice to those who have suffered because of it. You have touched people's souls with your words and your voice. Given hope to the disenchanted, a way to those who are lost"
He shook his head slowly "Monica I'm not that great of a person" he stood up. "Please don't make me into some sort of savior"
Monica was surprised by his change in attitude. He was closing off his feelings and pushing her away. "I never said you were a saint Gerard, actually you are an ass sometimes like the first time I met you" she laughed, "you are just a regular guy"
He narrowed his eyes as if he was trying to read her mind. It was really cute to watch. One of his eyes closed a bit more than the other. She had to remind herself not to have warm, fuzzy thoughts towards this man. She never again wanted to love or need any man.
Reaching back down into the chest she pulled out the tablecloths, "Here they are" she carefully shut the lid and moved past him. However she couldn't keep herself from adding "A very nice regular guy"
When she arrived in the kitchen Mikey was looking for her. "Hey would it be OK if Kara went home with me for a bit. She and Alicia want to watch some DVD together" Kara had just come in from school and still had her coat on. Her dark hair was windblown and her cheeks red from the cold.
"Yea we like a lot of the same movies" Kara nodded.
Monica smiled "Sure that's fine." It was nice that Alicia and Kara were becoming friends. There was just a few years difference in their ages.
Mikey told his mom he would see her in the morning and then he and Kara left. "I see you found the tablecloths" Donna was busy moving around the kitchen. "Gerard your dad will be here tomorrow too"
Monica looked over to the doorway where he was standing. He nodded. Donna laughed, "Monica you look surprised. Don is a great guy. We just couldn't be married anymore. But it wouldn't seem right for the family not to be together on Thanksgiving"
"That is a really nice attitude," Monica agreed. She put the tablecloths down and asked what else she could do.
"Everything is under control right now" was the answer, "where is Kelly? Shouldn't she be home by now?" Donna was always looking out for the girls.
"She is staying the night at her friends house. She will be home in the morning."
"That's right she told me this morning. I think your girls are adjusting to the new school nicely. Kelly told me she was thinking of joining the choir too"
This was news to Monica, "Really?"
"That's what she said" she poured herself a cup of coffee "your girls are really fitting in"
Gerard snorted "High school what a joke" That dark look was back on his face.
His mother shot him a look "Let it go Gerard. You hated high school but you made it through, just let it go"
He stared at her a minute then turned to go back into the other room to watch TV. Donna watched him leave then turned back to Monica "He had a bad time in high school, hated it. It was so hard for me to watch how unhappy he was. His drinking didn't help either" She sighed. "Sometimes I really think he believes he will never be truly happy, he is always waiting for some bad thing to happen"
Monica wasn't sure what to say. She knew how he felt. Her daughters were the only happiness she had or would have. Bad things were always on the horizon just waiting for their chance to take over.
Donna glanced over at her. "You are Gerard are a lot alike."
Her statement surprised Monica. She believed she hid her feelings quite well. "Gerard and I are not at all alike. I have a positive attitude." She couldn't look Donna in the eye.
Donna laughed, "Everyone else might fall for that line but not me. You have had a hard life and while I'm not sure just what happened it has caused you to hide your feelings and to be afraid of happiness"
Monica just stared at her. How could this woman see into her heart? She looked down at the floor and held back tears. "Donna, I can't talk about it," she whispered.
Donna crossed the kitchen and gave her a hug. "It's OK. Someday you will be able to" She smiled "now scoot out of my kitchen. I have special secret recipes to make and I need to be alone."
"I can't help?"
"Gerard, come get Monica out of the kitchen" she yelled into the other room. She turned Monica around and gently pushed her towards the door that Gerard has passed through.
He appeared and rolled his eyes "Mom and her secret recipes. She will be cooking all night and no one is allowed to help. I will order a pizza to be delivered and we can veg out in front of the TV."
That is just what they did. Both of them sat on the sofa watching "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" a great Thanksgiving movie. They talked about other movies and found that they liked many of the same films. They shared a lively discussion about the social and cultural importance of the Star Wars saga. Briefly it made Monica feel much older than Gerard to realize he was born the same year the movie was released. He just laughed when she pointed that out.
"Oh you think that is funny Mr. Way. Well I as six and I can still remember the first line of the movie. I bet you can't."
Gerard looked at her surprised. "You actually know the first line to Star Wars?"
"Yep, I do cause I'm a true Star Wars expert unlike yourself" she had thrown down the gauntlet.
Gerard actually giggled "A Star Wars expert? You can't possibly have seen the movie more time than I have".
"So trying to change the subject cause you don't know the first line. Oh young Skywalker you have much to learn".
C-3PO delivers the first line "Did you hear that? They shut down the main reactor..."
Monica's voice joined with Gerard's "We'll be destroyed for sure. This is madness" They both burst out laughing. "The force is with us" Monica smiled.
"Do you ever read comic books?" Gerard was almost giddy. He couldn't remember connecting with someone like this.
"When I was younger I read them all the time. I stared out with the horror ones like House of Mystery, Tomb of Dracula and Crypt of Shadows. My mom hated them but I loved them."
"Did you ever read X-Men?" he asked
"I liked reading them but I always thought the Doom Patrol was better. I secretly wanted to be Elasti-Girl. I cried when they all were killed off"
They continued talking about comics until Gerard noticed she was getting tired. He suggested putting in another movie. Around 10:00 Monica started to nod off. Gerard watched her and smiled. She looked so innocent and sweet when she slept.
Monica was deep in sleep when she felt herself move. A soft voice whispered "go back to sleep" so she did. Gerard carefully carried her to his old bedroom and placed her on the bed. He slipped off her shoes and covered her with a blanket. Monica's last thought was someone had gently kissed her forehead.

Are you a young adult looking for a good book?
Water for Elephants is a novel about an old man reflecting upon his life and the events that led him to abandon his studies and run away to join a traveling circus. His story is told in flashbacks between his stay at the nursing home and his days during the Great Depression.
This is a book about normal, everyday people who face struggles in life and yet carry on. In this story, Cole Conner's father was involved in a tragic event in his youth but found a way to turn his horror into a positive. Cole decided to continue his father's project, the seventeen second miracle.
The facilitator of the Liberty Book Club recommended that I read this book. She mentioned that Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay was a great read, as it certainly opened up discussions while teaching her group more about France's role in the Second World War.
For our June discussion, we are reading two very intense thrillers. The first one involves Chicago gangs. The second one is a frantic race from Washington, D.C. to Napa Valley, to Vegas to catch a serial killer. Join us at the Antioch Branch on June 25 at 7:00 p.m. to express your views on both.

Seventeen-year-old Pierce didn't have a near death experience two years ago when she fell into a pool and drowned in the middle of winter. She didn't see a bright, white light. She wasn't overwhelmed by a sense of peace and love. Pierce didn't experience any of that before she was revived by the doctors at the hospital. But she can't tell anyone that. Because who would believe that she actually went to the Underworld and was taken captive by the overseer of this in-between place where the dead are sorted for eternity, and a guy who calls himself John Hayden?
Star Crossed by Elizabeth Bunce is a thrilling fantasy about a young female thief caught in a snowbound castle who discovers a simmering rebellion against the current rulers of her country.
Sixteen-year-old Hazel may be on a miracle drug for the thyroid cancer that's been killing her since she was thirteen, but if you ask her, the life she is living is not very miraculous. In fact, it's downright depressing. And being forced to go to a support group for children with cancer only makes it worse.

Before & After: Sabrina's From Damaged to Daring Modern Desk Makeover
Sabrina is usually in the Mid-Century modern furniture purist camp. But what she dislikes even more than painted furniture is a bad patch job.

"Remember, when we're taking notes, it does not have to be grammatically correct," she tells the class.
The students write a title at the top of the page, then make two columns: one for notes, the other for essential questions that will appear on the test.
"It's just an organized way to take notes," says Austin Scott.
After reading the chapter, the students come up with the questions themselves. After that, Knight makes sure they're hitting the right points.
It's called the Cornell Note Taking Method. "I can use it in social studies too. It helps me a lot," says student Jacob Bennett.
The heart of the technique is not what we're used to. Essentially, the teachers are giving the students the answers that will be on the test.
"I want everyone in here to make an A," Knight says. "The only way they can do that is to know what I'm going to have on that test."
The students use answers to the essential questions to write a summary of what they've learned. The summary is one or two sentences, derived from entire chapters of text. That's what they study at home.
"I don't have to read the whole thing. I just take out my notes," says student Amanda Skipper.
Right now, Knight just uses the technique for studying from the text book. Soon, Cornell Note Taking will also be used for lectures.
Cornell Note Taking was introduced this school year, and Knight says grades have already gone up. "I'm seeing a lot of improvement based on this system," she says.

Celebration of life for Garvin Tootle
POULSBO — There will be a celebration of life and service for Garvin Tootle, former operations manager of North Kitsap Fishline, on Aug. 25, 10 a.m., at Kvelstad Pavilion in Muriel Iverson Williams Waterfront Park.
Aug. 25 would have been Tootle's 70th birthday.
"All are invited to come honor Garvin, who gave so much to families in need in our community," according to an email from Fishline.
Tootle died June 26 at a Bremerton respite care facility. He fought cancer for several years.
He was a retired Marine Corps officer, and was operations manager of Fishline during a period of growth in which the number of clients and amount of food distributed doubled.

Paul Ryan likes himself some hillbilly handfishin'
Not in the regular way, of course, but in the, I might totally put a poster of him over my bed and kiss it goodnight once in a while as I ride to dreamland on sweet thoughts of economic freedom in a terrible haircut. Granted, I wouldn't want to marry him or something. But I would totally want Paul Ryan to live in my house and, like, do laundry or something and when commanded, lecture me on comparative economic policy.
Because that's f***ing hot.
And what's hotter? On weekends, he stands wet and shirtless in large rivers fishing for giant catfish with his hands.
For fun, Mr. Ryan noodles catfish, catching them barehanded with a fist down their throats…
With marriage came a rural ranch where Mr. Ryan and his in-laws wade into Lake Texoma, reach into holes and wrestle catfish — a sport that appears to be attaining mythic dimensions in Ryan World.
"They come up on your hand, and you just squeeze wherever you are in that fish and pull it out," he said with a shrug, bragging about the 40-pounder he landed two seasons ago. "I know it sounds a little crazy, but it's really exhilarating."
You're welcome.

DALVIK, ICELAND -- Rutgers rising senior Carli Lloyd (Delran, NJ) scored in the 30th minute to help lead the U.S. Under-21 Women's Soccer National Team to a 3-0 victory against Finland in the first round of the Nordic Cup July 23 in Dalvik, Iceland.
The Americans took an early 1-0 lead thanks to a converted penalty kick in the seventh minute, then scored again in the 18th minute. Lloyd, who started the match, received a pass in the 30th minute, which she dribbled right across the top of the penalty area and buried to the lower left corner for the third and final goal.
The United States, which was placed in Group B, will finish pool play with matches against Norway (July 25 in Olafsfjordur) and Germany (July 27 in Dalvik). Group A for the Nordic Cup consists of Sweden, Iceland, Denmark and England. The top finisher from each group will advance to the championship match, and the third-place, fifth-place and seventh-place matches also will be contested on July 29.
This will mark Lloyd's third consecutive appearance at the Nordic Cup, considered the top international competition for the under-21 age group. The U.S has been dominant at the competition, as the American U-21 National Team has won six of the last seven Nordic Cup titles, including each of the last five tournaments. Although she is 21 years old, Lloyd can still compete for the U-21 Team, as each country is allowed to field up to four "overage" players.
Lloyd has had a very successful spring with the U-21s, attending six previous camps, and this marks her third consecutive year training with the national program. During the April Under-21 Camp, the U-21s played the full National Team twice, and Lloyd was a factor in both matches. She scored the U-21's lone goal in a 3-1 loss, then helped set up a score in a 1-1 tie. Lloyd also went to China March 17-29 with the Under-21 National Team for a three-match trip, and she had a goal and an assist as the U.S. defeated the full Chinese National Team 2-0 March 28 in Jiangsu. Lloyd scored the first goal in the 18th minute, then assisted on the second goal just two minutes later as the Americans defeated the world's fifth-ranked team in front of 10,000 fans. The U.S. also defeated Shanghai SVA, one of the top club teams in the country,
4-0 March 21. Lloyd started the match and scored the fourth U.S. goal in the 58th minute.
Lloyd also trained with the full National Team this spring, attending training sessions April 21, May 11-15 and May 24-June 4.
Lloyd led RU with 28 points (13 G, 2 A) last fall, earning third-team All-America honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association (NSCAA) and Soccerbuzz. A first-team all-BIG EAST Conference selection for the third consecutive year, she received a spot on both the NSCAA and Soccerbuzz Mid-Atlantic Region All-First Teams.
The Rutgers women's soccer team (10-7-5, 3-2-1 BIG EAST) advanced to the second round of the 2003 NCAA Tournament and the quarterfinals of the BIG EAST Tournament.

Shamnad Basheer, Professor at National University of Juridical Sciences (NUJS) has launched an access and diversity movement to reach out to the disadvantaged sections in rural and small town India an
vats! you are doing a great job...
vats! you are doing a good job..
yeah! this is a huge sigh of relief that there are some good news in this country, other than corruption and nearly collapsing law and order situation.it`s extremely encouraging on the part of Basheer Sir and fellow volunteers. Make it a mass movement. There will be hurdles but don`t give up. ALL THE BEST!!!!!!
this is great initiative by you sir. i am also a law student paying a huge amount per year and i belong to a middle class family.this sort of extraction of money is making law an elitist stream of study. this was same in earlier days and to change the situation the government came up with more law schools which will bring more lawyers and an increasing contribution to the legal world.high fees is seer failure of government. and this initiative is really going to work wonders.but, the main problem i guess will be that the students of rural india getting acquainted with english which is core element of law. they will face problem even in the questions that are set by the IDEA group. i am a part of this initiative in the bhubaneswar branch in orissa. we conducted the examination on 15th december,2010 in KISS (Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences), a school where students are not much equipped in english. the question set for them (the modified question paper)was really difficult to solve. those students were not able to understand the questions. sir, we want to make good lawyers come out from these groups , for which they are to be counted on their real talent with proper understanding.english has to be taken care to make this initiative bring real and gud lawyers.
Improving access is one thing Sir and changing the mindset of students is another. The law school i come from - HNLU - carried out this experiment during the intial years (2003-04) - although very few people know about it as it was not publicised. Lots of students belonging to the historically disadvantaged groups were admitted. In my own class (2nd Batch)there were about 20 students (out of 55). Their fee was waived and they were even provided free laptops. But, it did not work out - partly due to the fault of the group of students themselves and partly due to the lack of tolerance and understanding amongst their fellow mates. Most of them, as law graduates, are struggling and do not have well to do jobs. In my view, Sir, this will work only if the student mass, which is overwhelmingly elite in national law schools, understand and appreciate this problem and benefits that increasing access can bring in law schools. In my view, most of the populace in law schools is severly intolerant and cocooned to comprehend even what this initiative is all about. They will view it as a waste of time. The future, if I may say so Sir, look bleak.

Roland Sebastian Martin (born November 14, 1968)[1] is an American journalist and syndicated columnist with Creators Syndicate and author. He is a commentator for TV One and the host of News One Now, a one-hour weekday morning news show on the network.[2]
He was also a CNN contributor, appearing on a variety of shows, including The Situation Room, Anderson Cooper's AC360, and many others. In October 2008, he joined the Tom Joyner Morning Show as senior analyst.
Books authored by Martin include Speak, Brother! A Black Man's View of America,[3][4] Listening to the Spirit Within: 50 Perspectives on Faith and The First: President Barack Obama's Road to the White House as originally reported by Roland S. Martin.
During the 1990s, Martin was a contributor on the BET Sunday morning news program Lead Story. He is the former executive editor of the Chicago Defender. Martin hosts a morning radio talk show on WVON in Chicago, and was with CNN as a contributor from 2007-2013.[5] He guest-hosted Campbell Brown: No Bias, No Bull while Brown was on maternity leave in April and May 2009.
Martin has defended Michael Steele and other black Republicans against charges of being "Uncle Toms", arguing that the label is inappropriate.[6]
In March 2013, Martin announced on Twitter that he was leaving CNN.[7] His last day was on April 6, 2013.[8]
It was announced on July 9, 2013, that Martin would be the host of TV One's first live one-hour, weekday morning news program titled News One Now.[2] The program premiered on November 4, 2013.[2]
On February 5, 2012, Roland Martin's Twitter account responded to an underwear advertisement featuring the association football player David Beckham, stating "If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham's H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him!" GLAAD (the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) responded on its website: "Martin's tweets today advocating violence against gay people weren't an accident — they are a part of a larger pattern for Martin. Anti-gay violence in America is a serious problem". In response to the Tweets, it was reported that Roland Martin had been suspended by CNN for the controversial remarks.[9] His suspension was lifted on March 14, 2012.[10]

It was a fairly quiet at Rams Park on Wednesday compared to some of the other organizations out there, but the Rams did manage to agree to deals with restricted free agents John Greco and David Vobora. Both players will report on Friday and sign their deals, so they should both be good to go. Depending on what the Rams do in free agency, these two players could be major contributors this season at positions of need. Vobora is versatile and can play all three linebacker positions and contribute on special teams, and Greco is a former third-round pick at guard who has yet to live up to his potential. I am still a big believer in Greco, but I have to admit that my patience is running out. If he doesn't step up and become a solid NFL starter this season, I think the experiment is over and it is time to move on. But, for the record, I think if Greco gets his chance he can still impress.

Tomorrow the bouldering WC comes to Sheffield. I decided to ask some of the athletes a few questions. First up Anna Stöhr and Dave Barrans
Your results this year has been have been as great as they always are. Any prediction for this competition? Who do you "fear" the most?
Actually I don't really have a lot of predictions. My season didn't start too well, in Greifensee I didn't reach the finals and I know you can always be kicked out. Even if I won the last two events, there are so many strong girls! But I know if I get to the finals- everything can happen ;)
There has been some talk about the problem setting for the women, but you tend to end up first regardless of style. Do you have any thoughts about this?
It's true that there are some setting problems. I think the problem is, that the route setters change so often. No one has been setting two events this season, so it's really a tough job for them to calculate our levels. I think it would help a lot if there would be also a woman route setter for each event. But I know that there are not a lot of women who can do this job and the ones who can, compete themselves... So I think this problem needs to be discussed.
What's your favorite bouldering area?
I have a lot of favourite bouldering areas... I love Magic wood, cause its so close to my home. And the bouldering in the Rocklands was simply amazing last summer!! Also castle hill in New Zealand is cool- cause it's so different!

Björn Pohl - UKC, Jul 2010

You did really well at Eindhoven, and at one point you looked set for the podium. The season has been a bit up and down though. Any thoughts about this?
I think my season has actually been fairly consistent. The World cup field is so strong anyone in the top 50 can make the semi's, so I'm fairly happy with 3 out of 4 semis. I also had a bad finger injury over the winter so couldn't do quite as much training as I'd hoped.
How do you react when competing infront of a home crowd? Psyched, nervous or both? Is it an advantage or not?
It has been a while since i got to climb infront of a home crowd, it definately makes you more psyched. I don't really get nervous any more, i try to concentrate on being relaxed and climbing naturally, nerves just get in the way of that. I think the main advantage is knowing the style of problems.
Who do you "fear" the most?
I don't really fear anyone, it's you who has to climb the problem, if you don't climb it you can only blame yourself. I still have a lot of respect, for all the people who regularly make finals but they can still be beaten, I have finished ahead of them all at some point. I guess not being able to pull on to any problems would be my biggest nightmare.
Your prediciton?
I will be very annoyed if i don't get in the semi's, final would be nice but it is very hard to predict who will be in it! A Brit in the final would be amazing though.
Well, a Brit in the final... Gaz Parry sticks his neck out a tad further. When asking him what we can expect, the answer was quick: "A British 1, 2, 3". We'll see about that...

Remo Samba Choro Pandeiro with Brass Jingles
View All Recently Viewed Items
The traditional rhythmic component of Brazilian choro.
Remo Samba Choro Pandeiro with Brass Jingles
Remo's Choro Pandeiro is designed for today's modern playing techniques, is lightweight, and features a four combo set of jingles. Remo introduces the unique "Sizzle Zil" jingle design. The Sizzle Zil design combines two sets of brass and one set of German silver convex jingles with a flat stainless steel chrome plated disc sitting in between. Adding the Sizzle to the Zil are the sound apertures located around the brass jingle perimeter. This lightens the pandeiro's overall weight and projects the sound of the German silver jingle enabling pure, fast articulated beats which allow the drumhead tones to resonate freely. The Choro Pandeiro is constructed with a replaceable Skyndeep graphic drumhead with Ultratac. This new development in Remo's drumhead technologies offers enhanced sound with an attractive look. The Skyndeep with Ultratac adds a unique animal-like texture on the drumhead surface that produces low bass notes while adding pliability, making it easy to bend and modulate the pitch. Also featured on this drumhead is Remo's O-ring with adhesive that reduces overtones and increases warm bass tones. The drum shell is made with Acousticon, 100% recycled wood fiber, and is elegantly finished with stained antique wood grain veneer. The Choro Pandeiro is specifically designed for low-pitch tensioning and is not recommended to over tighten the replaceable drumhead. With proper care and maintenance you will enjoy continuous playing with Remo's Choro Pandeiro, which weighs less than 1 lb.—far lighter than any other similar model in the market today.

A Parade, an Airplane and Two Weddings
Two couples, a parade from downtown Caribou to the airfield, and two airplane flights were the scene in 1930 when the couples each took off in a single-engine plane to tie the knot high over Aroostook County.
Maine's natural resources -- granite, limestone and slate in particular -- along with its excellent ports made it a leader in mining and production of the valuable building materials. Stone work also attracted numerous skilled immigrants.

M. W. Catlin's curator insight, July 29, 7:09 AM
I've been talking about these ideas in my workshops for quite a while now. We are hardwired for story. It's one, if not a significant reason for our "success" as a species. It's also one of the incredible frustrations of our times. That science and facts yield the field to the fiction of prevarication and conspiracy is a tragedy.

Good tips by Sujan Patel via Search Engine Journal about avoiding blogging burnout. The tips, with more explanation in the article, are:
1. Realistically assess your available resources
2. Set up a publishing calendar that works for your company
3. Outsource blogging tasks when possible
The article concludes, "Though all of these solutions do represent an added cost to your company, you'll likely find that the financial benefits of keeping an active, engaging blog up and running far outweigh your initial expenses. By outsourcing when necessary and creating a publishing calendar that's a realistic fit for your available time and resources, you'll eliminate the possibility of blogging burnout – allowing you to maximize the potential of this promotional strategy for the long term."

Yes! Highly recommended. I have used VPN's for years, living in emerging countries where Skype was blocked and many websites or social networks. Now we use it all the time, even in safe locations, especially when looking up financial accounts. I remember just recently accessing a credit card account, without having my VPN on.

The content beast is a hungry animal, and business owners trying to keep up with feeding this beast, often struggle to maintain the pace.
The chief culprit behind this struggle, is the old writers block, something that is easily overcome with a little knowledge and expert guidance.
This excellent article, provides four tips for overcoming the common obstacles to producing engaging and informative content for your customers or clients, and it also includes 10 tips to help create content that doesn't come across as poorly disguised sales pitches.
donhornsby's curator insight, January 24, 6:25 AM
From the article: A recent study by BusinessBolts.com found that 74 percent of small businesses plan on increasing the amount of content they produce this year.
Yet coming up with engaging and informative content for clients and customers is not always easy. Whether you are looking to develop articles for your newsletter or posts for your blog — or even just thinking of things to share on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest — coming up with good ideas can be challenging. And inevitably, the harder you try to think of great content, the harder it gets. Proverbial writer's block sets in. And stays. Awhile.

Good Day, Penn Staters!
We are encouraged to see so many students taking advantage of their VA Education Benefits this semester. Whether you are a new or continuing student, we're here to help you get the most out of your benefits.
If you are new to working with our office, I encourage you to browse through our website and the GI Bill Web site for more information.
Here are just a few reminders to pass on to students who will be working with the office to obtain their GI Bill benefits:
All Students
When you are planning to visit the office, remember the following:
See REMINDERS FOR SELECT CHAPTER CODES, below.
New Students
Please bring the following documentation to your first office visit:
Other documentation needed by our office for new students varies by chapter code:
During your office visit, we'll verify that you've completed the Certification Request Form, required every semester, and verify your intended major. We'll also discuss how your VA monies get paid.
Returning Students
Go here for the required forms.
Reminders for select chapter codes, including new and returning students
Chapter 33, Post 9/11 GI Bill:
Prior to my being able to certify you for benefits, students must have a Penn State registration status that is COMPLETE. Check your student schedule, course detail view, for your registration status statement. Whether or not a student's registration is complete is tied into their schedule of classes and whether or not their bill/financial obligations to the University have been satisfied.
IMPORTANT: Students who have already submitted their Certificate of Eligibility to our office may complete the Notification of Pending Aid. Students must visit the Financial Aid Office (W113 Smith) in person—bring your PSU student ID card. We'll be able to give a student credit for their monies forthcoming from the VA. The earliest a student can complete Notification of Pending Aid for Spring 2014 is Monday, November 18, 2013.
Students who do not yet have their Certificate of Eligibility from the VA should make arrangements to set up deferred payments. Students will need to pay 1/3 of their outstanding balance, after financial aid has been applied, plus a nominal fee. Once the Certificate of Eligibility is presented and we give the student the appropriate credit, as defined in the Certificate of Eligibility, any payments made in excess of student's charges will be refunded to the student.
Chapter 31, Vocational Rehabilitation and Education:
This is the first semester I'm requiring VR&E students to complete the Certification Request Form. We need to ensure that we report correct contact information to the VA and students should be signing up for the office listserv.
If you have any other questions, please check out the GI Bill Home Page or call my office at 814-949-5086.
Best regards,

Elements of Success
April 16, 2014 in General
This year is seemingly rolling along just as it would any other year. It seems that a consistent theme of pursuit is Success. I think any and every one would agree that the easiest thing to do is to not do and just be. Now some people would call that lazy or just plain as we say in Mississippi "Trifling".

SimFlex Expanding Sewing Gauge
The SimFlex Expanding Sewing Gauge gives you fast and accurate measuring. It is quick and easy to use.
At first glance, you'd think it might only be for measuring button/button hole spacing. While it is PERFECT for measuring accurace spaces for buttons and buttonholes, it has many other uses.
The SimFlex Expanding Sewing Gauge is great for use in shirring and smocking. Simply flex the gauge to the distance desired between the gathers when shirring or smocking, mark the sewing lines with chalk or washable marker.
This sewing gauge can also be used for measuring pleats, tucks and gathers in draperies and skirt and dress pleats.
For the quilters, this gauge can be used to mark several bias or straight strips at a time.
This sewing tool costs around $18.00 and I bought it online. You might check with JoAnn's or other fabric/notion stores to see if it is available there also.
I would highly recommend this tool. The time saved by getting instant and accurate measuring distances for such a variety of applications makes it well worth the money spent on it.

10'x15'... the past 5 years, 2 bedrooms and 4 floors of our home is now crammed into a one cinder-block cell, the mail has been stopped (doubt I'll miss it) and tenants who will be kindly paying our mortgage for the next 12months are now moved in and we're officially "homeless".

I really despair at the way Blizzard ignore factional balance. I play on the EU Azuremyst server where the ratio is 0.27:1 in favour of alliance. When it comes to doing WG or things like doing the weekly quest for herb pouches in wintergrasp I have to wait until allies are bored which is often early in the morning or late at night.
Question: Isn't there some way blizzard could prevent people from creating or transferring a character for one faction or the other when there is such a bias. Why doesn't it do something to address these problems earlier? It takes so much enjoyment out of that part of the game for me.

Actually sometimes they do. Sometimes they have one faction free transfers off one server or another.

Without doubt, they are entertaining, but they remain unscientific and should not be taken too seriously.
It comes as no surprise that magazines in beauty salons and dentists surgeries are full of tests that have already been completed.
'Many people have the need to learn something about themselves,' said psychologist Michael Ziegelmayer in Freiburg. That leads to keen interest in the tests, even if they are only loosely based in science.
Any psychologist can put a magazine personality test together in a few hours. Nonetheless, there is a method behind most popular personality tests.
'Most personality tests consist of five factors: adherence to norms, personal resilience, independence, ability to make decisions and need for contact,' said Werner Stangl, psychologist with the Kepler University in Linz, Austria.
These elements are interchangeable and be weighted differently depending upon the test.
The results can reveal more about personality traits and relationships. Tests do this by asking readers to gauge their reactions to real situations.
'If I want to test a certain personality trait of a reader, I have to touch upon that mental area in multiple ways that are close to home. These should, even if subliminally, reflect part of the entire personality,' explains Arnd Stein of Iserlohn in the German state of North Rhine Westfalia.
Stein has spent years creating psychology tests for various media. The better the image created, the more reliable and significant the entire test becomes, says the psychologist and psychotherapist ... which is why some questions seem so blunt.
'The more concrete the question, the clearer the answer can be interpreted,' said Stein. Answers are best when they are spontaneous and honest. That provides the best results.
After all, this is not about fooling the test. Experts say the function of the test is more along the line of 'entertainment mixed with personal diagnosis.'
That means the results should not be taken too seriously, especially when it comes to serious problems.

2011 record: 16-1
Coach Tom Marechek's quote: "We probably have the best attack unit (in the league). They were the starting attack in the championship game last year."
Breakdown: Anyone looking for a weakness on the Quakers might eventually tire.
Friends returns 10 starters from a squad that won the MIAA B Conference title last year, yet Marechek quickly dismisses talk of the Quakers being the overwhelming favorite for another crown.
"On paper, you don't win championships," said Marechek, a first-year coach who spent the last 14 years at Howard County's Glenelg Country School, where he won two C Conference championships. "We have to make sure we direct the kids the right way. I have coached teams before, where if you don't work together and don't have the chemistry, it doesn't matter."
Offense isn't going to be a problem with the return of senior attackmen Mike Sweet and Dave Magdeburger and junior Tucker Glotzbach.
At midfield, Friends graduated Michael John, who is playing at Amherst College.
"Michael was probably their best player last year," Marechek said.
But the team's midfield is still experienced and deep with juniors Dan Warren, James Batho and senior Paul Orrson leading the unit.
The defense — spearhead by seniors Matt Lambros and Elliot Greenwald and junior Ben Chase — could rate among the best in the league.
In goal, James Whitlow earned the starting job after working as a backup last year.
"We have kind of ingrained in their heads right now that this is a new season and everyone is out for them because they won the championship," said Marechek, who replaced Jon Garman.
2011 record: 13-5
Coach Brooks Matthews' quote: "Because most of our guys compete in other sports, they have come into lacrosse fresh and excited. Many of our players have experienced success in their fall and winter sports, and I am excited to see them carry that confidence into the spring."
Breakdown: Don't sleep on the Greyhounds.
Just because they graduated Towson Times Co-Players of the Year Ryan Tucker and Conor Doyle, the cupboard is hardly bare.
Starting with the defense, seniors Robby Haus (Ohio St), T.J. Trusty, Tim Jenkins (Colorado College), Devin Tucker (Gettysburg), Kameron Bowling, Mason Hoehn and Brandon Smith, the Greyhounds still have plenty of talent to defend their title.
They'll protect senior Bryan Moore (Harvard) or junior Thomas McBride in the goal.
Likewise, the midfield has a strong core group in seniors Jake Matthai (North Carolina), Harry McCarthy (Dartmouth), and Cotter Brown (Sewanee) holding forth with juniors Riley DeSmit (Hopkins) and John Simms.

AP Photo/Detroit News, Brandy Baker
A downed tree blocks the sidewalk in a Detroit neighborhood on Thursday, July 5, 2012 after violent storms ripped through the area Thursday morning.
DETROIT -- Utilities say about 400,000 homes and businesses across Michigan lost power following several days of thunderstorms and hot weather.
DTE Energy Co. says about 210,000 of its customers were without power Thursday after a new round of damaging thunderstorms made its way across the state, knocking down trees and power lines. Since Tuesday, DTE says about 300,000 of its customers have been affected.
CMS Energy Corp. unit Consumers Energy says about 97,000 of its customers lost power, including about 36,500 in the Flint area. That number was down to 80,000 Thursday afternoon.
"Thursday morning's storms were somewhat reminiscent of the June 29 derecho from Indiana to the Mid-Atlantic," weather.com meteorologist Nick Wiltgen said. "But the line was not as intense, not as well-organized, and not nearly as large. Instead of 70- and 80-mile-per-hour gusts, the Michigan storms mostly produced gusts in the 50-to-65-mph range. Plenty of trees and power lines still came down, but these winds didn't cause the kind of structural damage that occurred with the derecho."
Severe thunderstorms raged across Michigan Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, with hot and humid conditions expected through Friday.
