A cytology exam of pleural fluid is a laboratory test to detect cancer cells and certain other cells in the area that surrounds the lungs. This is called the pleural space.
A sample of fluid from the pleural space is needed. For information on how the sample is obtained, see: Thoracentesis.
The fluid sample is sent to a laboratory where it is examined under the microscope to determine what the cells look like, and whether they are abnormal. "Cytology" refers to the study of cells.
The laboratory test requires no preparation. For information on how to prepare for removal of the fluid sample, see: Thoracentesis
See: Thoracentesis
A cytology exam is used to look for cancer and precancerous cells, or more rarely for other conditions (like seeing systemic erythematosous cells).
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of fluid buildup in area surrounding the lungs, a condition called pleural effusion. The test may also be done if you have signs of lung cancer.
Normal cells are seen.
In an abnormal test, there are cancerous (malignant) cells. This may mean there is a cancerous tumor. This test most often detects:
There are no risks involved with a cytology exam.
For information risks related to the procedure to remove a sample of pleural fluid, see: Thoracentesis

High above the Ingraham Glacier towers that sharp, residual mass of lava strata known as Little Tahoma (11,117 feet), the highest outstanding eminence on the flank of Mount Rainier. (Figs. 11 and 12.) It forms a gigantic "wedge" that divides the Ingraham from the Emmons Glacier to the north. So extensive is this wedge that it carries on its back several large ice fields and interglaciers, some of which, lying far from the beaten path of the tourist, are as yet unnamed. Separating them from each other are various attenuated, pinnacled crests, all of them subordinate to the main backbone which runs eastward some 6 miles and terminates in the Cowlitz Chimneys (7,607 feet), a group of tall rock towers that dominate the landscape on the east side of Mount Rainier.
Most of the ice fields, naturally, lie on the shady north slope of the main backbone; in fact, a series of them extends as far east as the Cowlitz Chimneys. One of the lesser crests, however, that running southeastward to the upland region known as Cowlitz Park, also gives protection to an ice body of some magnitude, the Ohanapecosh Glacier. Considerably broader than it is long in the direction of its flow, this glacier lies on a high shelf a mile and a half across, whence it cascades down into the head of a walled-in canyon. Formerly, no doubt, it more than filled this canyon, but now it sends down only a shrunken lobe. The stream that issues from it, the Ohanapecosh River, is really the main prong and head of the Cowlitz River.
The largest and most elevated of the ice fields east of Little Tahoma is known for its peculiar shape as Fryingpan Glacier. It covers fully 3 square miles of ground and constitutes the most extensive and most beautiful interglacier on Mount Rainier. It originates in the hollow east side of Little Tahoma itself and descends rapidly northward, overlooking the great Emmons Glacier and finally reaching down almost to its level (fig. 12). It is not a long time since the two ice bodies were confluent.
The eastern portion of the Fryingpan Glacier drains northeastward and sends forth several cascading torrents which, uniting with others coming from the lesser ice fields to the east, form the Fryingpan River, a brisk stream that joins White River several miles farther north.
Below the Fryingpan Glacier there lies a region of charming flower-dotted meadows named Summer Land, a most attractive spot for camping.
Cloaking almost the entire east side of Mount Rainier is the Emmons Glacier, the most extensive ice stream on the peak (named after Samuel F. Emmons, the geologist and mountaineer who was the second to conquer the peak in 1870). About 5-1/2 miles long and 1-3/4 miles wide in its upper half, it covers almost 8 square miles of territory. It makes a continuous descent from the summit to the base, the rim of the old crater having almost completely broken down under its heavy névé cascades. But two small remnants of the rim still protrude through the ice and divide it into three cascades. (Fig. 12.) From each of these dark rock islands trails a long medial moraine that extends in an ever-broadening band down to the foot of the glacier.
Conspicuous lateral moraines accompany the ice stream on each side. There are several parallel ridges of this sort, disposed in successive tiers above each other on the valley sides. Most impressively do they attest the extent of the Emmons Glacier's recent shrinking. The youngest moraine, fresh looking as if deposited only yesterday, lies but 50 feet above the glacier's surface and a scant 100 feet distant from its edge; the older ridges, subdued in outline, and already tinged with verdure, lie several hundred feet higher on the slope.
The Emmons Glacier, like the Nisqually and the Cowlitz, becomes densely littered with morainal débris at its lower end, maintaining, however, for a considerable distance a central lane of clear ice. The stream which it sends forth, White River, is the largest of all the ice-fed streams radiating from the peak. It flows northward and then turns in a northwesterly direction, emptying finally in Puget Sound.

I love my bed, don't you love your bed? Think about it for a minute. When you've been out of town for awhile, don't you just look forward to your OWN BED? There's just nothing else like it. And oh, that first night back in your bed after you've been away on a trip? You know the feeling…you sink in with that warm "home" feeling. Eyes close before you even hit the pillow.
Our 5 year old, Keith, was adopted from China last November. Eight months since he's slept in the bed. That bed. The bed he had slept in all of his life minus his first six months. That bed. The bed that held that warm "home" feeling.
Has he missed it? You better believe it. I know I would too. Can you imagine? He has missed every little thing about China. He doesn't want to go back to live there, make no mistake. But he DOES want to take US back to sleep in HIS bed. In a way, that is so sweet it makes me smile to type it. And in another way, it makes me cry.
Each day, he talks of China and his "Nai Nai" (foster grandmother) a *little* less and less…but not much less. He is passionate about his life in China. He loved it. And he loves this life in America too. He has an amazing resiliency and easy-going personality. Yet I have been patiently waiting for our home and his room and his "new" bed to feel like "home."
Recently we had to go out of town for a week. Upon arriving home, everyone was busy getting their things out of the van, unpacking, etc. But Keith? He was wallowing and rolling in his bed. As soon as I walked in his room and saw him, he declared, "I MISSED MY BED, MAMA!"
Yes, the bed. THAT bed. The bed has gained its honor, folks! (and a boy has gained his forever home) Hallelujah for the warm "home" feeling of a bed!

PEMBROKE, NC (WECT) – State Board of Education members discussed granting enrollment waivers to two Southeastern North Carolina charter schools Wednesday.
State law requires that charter schools have enrollments of at least 65, but Douglass Academy in Wilmington and Flemington Academy at Lake Waccamaw are falling short.
Douglass Academy leaders say marketing problems beyond their control were partly to blame.
"A whole stack of flyers that were sent out were completely lost by the post office," Joel Medley, director of the State Office of Charter Schools told the Board of Education.
Board Member Gregory Alcorn didn't find that explanation convincing.
"I'm in the marketing business and, if you do an RSVP or send out something and somebody doesn't get it, you usually know that in just a few days," Alcorn said.
Douglass Academy leaders also blame their low enrollment on delays in securing a building – the type of red flag that could be identified early by new procedures at the Office of Charter Schools.
"This process will ask for specific information coming back in from the schools, asking for their enrollment numbers, where are they in their policy development," Medley explained. "Are they going to be able to have that certificate of occupancy, which is a requirement for them to be able to have students in the building."
Flemington Academy says it needs an enrollment waiver because it serves a special population. Many of the students in the school, run by Boys and Girls Homes, are in the custody of social services.
While not taking action, State Board members said they will make their decisions with children in mind.
"We want to protect the students," Alcorn said. "That's the most important thing for us."
The State Board is expected to vote on the waiver requests at its next meeting, April 30 and May 1.

All operations time out while rebalancing
We are testing couchbase and have a serious problem that are unable to solve: while a rebalancing is done, all operations from the clients time out. I guess that there must be a performance impact, but not so much. The load is very low, and the cluster is 6 AWS m2.xlarge machines.
The client is PHP, and we are using the 1.0 client library (http://www.couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-sdk-php-1.0/).
Any idea?
Thank you.
Was there a node failure before rebalancing? If the current config before rebalancing has a down node, it would be normal for operations to time out.
Rebalancing could be done in add a node, remove a node or failover a node scenarios. Which one applies to your situation?
Hi, this hapened with any scenario that involved a rebalancing. However, this was already solved by couchbase, it was a client bug (libcouchbase).

Bill would protect same-sex, bi-national couplesFebruary 15,2013MONTPELIER More than a year after U.S. immigration authorities sought to split up a same-sex, bi-national couple living in Vermont, Sens. Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Susan Collins of Maine are pushing legislation to protect such couples.
After a threatening letter from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services 14 months ago, Frances Herbert and Takako Ueda of Dummerston got a follow-up letter in May saying the agency would hold off for two years before trying to deport Ueda to her native Japan for an expired visa.
Now legislation introduced by Leahy and Collins backed by President Barack Obama would halt such deportations by allowing Americans to sponsor their same-sex permanent partners who are immigrants for permanent residency.
There are an estimated 36,000 same-sex, bi-national couples in the country.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER New proposed banking regulations could make it easier to get a loan.

Leaders: The Problem With Valuing Everyone Equally
The Bible is clear – everyone has intrinsic value and worth. God loves us all and there are no favorites in His kingdom. As leaders, we try to live that out every day. The problem is, we get into trouble when we use that principle when evaluating our team. Every church, ministry, nonprofit, or business has employees or volunteers, and while we should appreciate them all equally, some of those employees bring greater value to the table. Throughout the Bible, God chose different people for Read the full article »
People You Fire: How Are They Doing Now?
There are a few ministry organizations in the country who's list of people that have been fired is like a "who's who" of great leaders. It seems like when talented employees start rising, the CEO of some organizations start getting nervous, and before long finds a reason to let them go. Stop for a minute and think about people you've fired over the years. Where Read the full article »
How To Leave Your Job Well
In past generations, people were employed for life, but statistics indicate that in today's economy, you'll have many jobs before retirement. In most areas – advertising and marketing, ministry, nonprofit work, entertainment, business, etc… the world is pretty small, so when it comes time to leave your job, you'd better leave it on good terms. After all, you never know in the future when you might want to work with that organization again. So even when you leave out of anger, duress, frustration, or most other reasons, I always encourage people not to burn bridges. But even when that's your intention, most people don't do it well, so here's a few reminders you should keep tucked away for that day when it's time to move on: Read the full article »
Why Your Boss Is The Key To Your Future
At some point or another, everyone has boss problems. I've worked for bosses who were the owner's son or daughter, and were completely incompetent. There are fine leaders out there who are second generation, but in my career, I've worked for some real losers. I've had other bosses that were insecure, others who were egomaniacs, and still others who wanted to be somewhere else. As a result, sooner or later, most employees dream of Read the full article »
Shocking News About Complainers
You'd be surprised at how many times I start working with a new client, only to have someone on their team pull me aside to complain about how the organization is run, or the incompetent leadership, or the mission. I know other people who constantly complain about their job, co-workers, schedule, and more. The bottom line is that there are far too many people complaining and not nearly enough making things happen. Here's a shocking statistic I read recently: Read the full article »
Leaders: Your Stress Level Is Hurting Your Team
More and more evidence is coming in that leadership style and behavior trickle down. I once had a client who's leadership style was to lead by threat. Instead of inspiring and motivating his team, his constant mantra was, "If you can't do it, I'll find someone who can." Before long, his subordinates followed his lead and began their own reign of terror with co-workers and vendors. For leaders, the bottom line is the team Read the full article »
Are Distractions Damaging Your Career?
Here's the facts: A University of California, Irvine study revealed that employees working in open-plan offices (cubicles or around big tables) were interrupted 63% of their time at work. Employees with offices were interrupted 49% of the time. After each interruption, it took 25 minutes for the cubicle employees and 26 minutes for the office employees to get back on track. However, typically, employees turned to 2.26 OTHER tasks before getting back to the original task from which they had been interrupted. Which means, Read the full article »
Who You Work With Matters More Than You Think
We all joke about our co-workers. We're close to some, others drive us crazy, and a few seem outright evil. Since we spend so much of our lives working in the office, more and more studies show that who we work with has a huge impact, not only on our performance, but on our personal health. A recent study from Tel Aviv University tracked 820 workers for 20 years. They discovered that our co-workers impact our health more than the hours we work, the stress, or our boss. And it's pretty serious – working with not-so-kind colleagues, actually increases our risk of dying. In fact, Read the full article »
Employees Who Win By Wearing Everyone Down
Is there a member of your team who just won't let go? He or she has an idea and refuses to take no for an answer or consider other ideas? This isn't a personality quirk – it's a strategy.

How to Deal With the Whiners On Your Team
Most creative teams are going to have at least one member who's a whiner. Whiner's focus on the negative, and thrive on complaining – often about the most insignificant things you can imagine.

Exposure to non-stop negativity can disrupt learning, memory, attention, and judgement. The problem is more widespread than you think, because Read the full article »

CISA / St. Francis YC Windsurfing Clinic
On July 7-9, 2014, St. Francis Yacht Club hosted its second CISA NorCal Advanced Windsurfing Clinic. The clinic and its six participants (Kelsie Deisinger, George Goodhead, Marly Isler, Bleiz Larzul, Charlie Lundquist, and Emily Seeley) were lead by 5x Olympian Mike Gebhardt, Stephen Bordes, Andre Larzul, Steve Bodner, and Bryan McDonald. The clinic heavily emphasized form, finesse, strategy, and technique. As a result, the course consisted of classroom video review sessions in addition to detailed land demonstrations, advanced rigging tutorials, and rules discussions. The team spent three days training in San Francisco Bay amidst some of the most challenging windsurfing conditions found throughout the world. We hope to see these individuals competing at the highest level and encourage many more to look out for future St. Francis Yacht Club and CISA windsurfing clinics.

About the IDEA Logo
The molecules from the IDEA Center logo actually spell IDEA through biochemistry! Read on for the full explanation:
1. The picture in the logo represents a string of four amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. The solid blue circles symbolize nitrogen (N) atoms and the unfilled blue circles represent oxygen (O) atoms.
2. The graphic below shows how an organic chemist would draw the logo molecule, showing nitrogen and oxygen atoms.
3. When chemists draw organic molecules, such as this one, they typically leave off carbon (C) atoms that form the bonds in the hexagonal "benzene" rings, and also leave off the hydrogen (H) atoms that form covalent bonds with the carbon atoms. Below is the full molecule with all atoms listed:
4. In organic chemistry, each amino acid is ascribed an alphabetical letter for identification. By putting together the four amino acids Isoleucine (I), Aspartic Acid (D), Glutamic Acid (E), and Alanine (A), the logo spells IDEA through biochemistry.

On August 2nd this year, NIPSCO will celebrate the marvelous milestone of 100 years serving the Northwest Indiana community. Their story is one of growth, dedication, commitment to the residents and business that are the foundation of our region. They continue to develop in ways to meet the needs of even more customers with an eye on reliable and affordable service.
"Celebrating this milestone gives us a great opportunity to look back and see how far NIPSCO and northern Indiana have come. It also inspires us to learn from and build upon our past and to continue our focus on safety, service, economic development and the environment," said NIPSCO's Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Mike Finissi.
NIPSCO's origins actually go back further than a century ago. Although the company was officially incorporated on August 2, 1912 as the Calumet Electric Company before a merger changed their name to the Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) on June 2, 1926. Prior to these landmark years, NIPSCO's early years involve utility ancestors that go back as far as 1853 with the Fort Wayne Gas Light Company and in 1868 with the South Bend Gas Light Company who helped to established the utility industry in the state. When three major corporations came to Northwest Indiana, Standard Oil Company in 1889 in Whiting, Inland Steel in 1901 in East Chicago, and U.S. Steel in 1906 in Gary, the need for gas and the newly emerging technology of electricity, grew exponentially. The construction of the South Shore Line Passenger Service further solidified the need for electricity in the region.
Through acquisitions and mergers of small area utilities, what is today known as NIPSCO organized in 1909 to consolidate utility interests, and in 1912 they officially incorporated by a group of Gary partners, who after founding the Gary Railway Company, wanted additional sources of power to extend their streetcar lines southward and westward to Crown Point, Valparaiso, and LaPorte. A transmission line and two substations were built to supply the electricity needs of urban customers. They later built 170 miles of rural circuit to serve the smaller towns and villages of Lake, Porter, and LaPorte counties. They continued to acquire properties along these routes.
After further utility company mergers and acquisitions, in 1926 NIPSCO officially became known by its name today. Samuel Insull became NIPSCO's first chairman and his son, Samuel, Jr., became the company's first president. The company continued to grow, building the Michigan City Generating Station in 1931. Parts of this plant are still in use today. NIPSCO grew into the towns of Goshen, Warsaw, and Monticello in the 1930s and in the 1940s they began selling their stock publicly and they became active in acquiring water utility properties. They sold these properties in the 1950s so they could focus entirely on the gas and electric side of their business. During the 1950s and 1960s they continued to broaden and consolidate. This was also a period when major new facilities were added to the system to meet the expanding needs of their dynamic service territory. In 1957 the first unit of the generating station in Gary was completed. NIPSCO also expanded their natural gas side of the utility since gas became the preferred method for residential, commercial, and industrial heating fuel.
Other key years in NIPSCO's history include the construction of the Bailly Generating Station in Chesterton in 1962. In 1976 they built the R.M. Schahfer Generating Station in Wheatfield. In 1986 the company restructured to better deal with a more competitive environment. In the 1980s, despite difficult economic times in the region, NIPSCO continued their growth and added two additional units to the station in Wheatfield. In 1987, NIPSCO evolved into a holding company structure, beginning an era that would transform the company from being merely a gas and electric provider serving a regional area into a forward-thinking organization competing on many fronts. NIPSCO continued to acquire and merge with rural gas and electric companies as well as construct pipelines to allow for the movement of natural gas to customers.
In 1999, shareholders approved a name change, from NIPSCO Industries to NiSource, a name they felt better reflected their beginnings in the utility industry while reflecting their growth as a company. The name better reflected the new direction of the company as a multi-state supplier of energy and water services. The years that followed demonstrated this philosophy come to life as more growth continued, as it continues today and in the future.
"We're building toward the future and it is focused toward our customers, providing safe, reliable service," says Tom Stevens, director of internal communications for NIPSCO. "We've invested more than $350 million in environmental improvements, resulting in more than a70 percent drop in emissions over the last two decades, and we're working to do even more. Our recent purchase of the Indiana-based Sugar Creek Power Plant helps us take advantage of the environmental benefits of a natural gas-fired electric generating facility and with two hydroelectric facilities and our recent investment in 100 MW of wind energy, we are increasing our commitment to sustainable energy," says Stevens.
NIPSCO has also embarked on an electric car program. They have added four electric cars to their own fleet and are undergoing a market study to install charging stations around the community for electric cars. They also hope to add future residential discounts to encourage homeowners to put charging stations in their garage and perhaps some off-peak charging incentives in as well, Stevens says. NIPSCO has also instituted a net metering program and a feed-in tariff program where customers receive a credit for energy supplied back to NIPSCO through use of their solar, wind, biomass or new hydro-electrical generating facility.
Although the past century has included many changes, growth, and adaptations, some things haven't changed for NIPSCO-the company's goal to provide customers with dependable gas and electric service at reasonable prices; to provide investors a fair return; to provide employees with careers that will allow them to enjoy a good standard of living; to be a good corporate citizen in the communities they serve; and to promote growth and development throughout northern Indiana. These goals have been NIPSCO's focus for the past 100 years and they will remain their focus long into the future.

Stopping Violence against Women and Girls
Violence against women and girls continues unabated in every continent, country and culture. It takes a devastating toll on women's lives, on their families, and on society as a whole. Most societies prohibit such violence - yet the reality is that too often, it is covered up or tacitly condoned. - UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, 8 March 2007
Uma Devi ran for election to serve in one of the seats reserved for women on her local village council (panchayat) in Bihar, India in 2006. A man in the village, who wanted to retain his power, offered her money and threatened to kill her family to stop her from contesting the election. He wanted his wife to be elected unopposed. When Uma Devi did not back down, a group of people came to her house and her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Kajal, was brutally murdered in front of her father and uncles. The villagers came to see the commotion and the killers ran off with two of Uma Devi's other children: four-year-old Mukesh and seven-year-old Vikas. They were taken to the nearby fields and were killed. Even after losing three children, Uma Devi persevered and continued her campaign. She won the elections, and in doing so, courageously stood against violence and corruption in her village.
Uma Devi's story shows us the harsh reality of the violence that women throughout the world face on a daily basis. Statistics show that at least one out of every three women in the world has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused in her lifetime (United Nations General Assembly 2006). The catalog of gender-based violence is staggering:
- physical or sexual violence by intimate partners;
- female genital mutilation or cutting (FGM);
- dowry murder - a brutal practice when a woman is killed by her husband or in-laws because her family is unable to meet their demands for her dowry;
- acid attacks due to dowry disputes;
- "honor killings" - when rape victims, women suspected of engaging in premarital sex or accused of adultery are murdered because it is viewed as an affront to the family's honor;
- early marriage - when young girls are forced into marriage and sexual relations, jeopardizing their health and education;
- trafficking;
- rapes and abduction in the context of war; and
- sexual harassment, often leading to girls dropping out of school or parents pushing their children into early marriage.
And each one of these violations is all too common. Moreover, women who have experienced such violence are at a higher risk of HIV infection (UNAIDS, UNFPA, UNIFEM 2004). The subordination of women prohibits them from protecting themselves from infection (UNAIDS 2005). And for many women, the fear of violence prevents them from seeking help, treatment or declaring their HIV-positive status. More than 60 percent of HIV-positive youth ages 15-24 are female (UNAIDS 2008).
And because women are the primary caregivers, we know that this violence, as Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon indicates, takes a devastating toll on their families, communities and society as a whole. It is clear that violence against women lies at the very heart of the problem of hunger and poverty.
This is why The Hunger Project has placed empowering women at the very heart of our strategy. As our work and countless studies show, when women are supported and empowered, all of society benefits. Families are healthier, more children go to school, agricultural productivity improves and incomes increase. In short, communities become more resilient. It is, therefore, not only imperative to end violence against women from a human rights perspective, but it is absolutely essential to achieve the end of hunger and poverty in our world.
- In India, The Hunger Project supports the political participation of women through capacity-building workshops and educating women about their rights and responsibilities. We record instances of violence, like that of Uma Devi, to shed light on such stories for government officials, media and police so all can recognize that reserving seats in the council for women will not suffice unless a safe environment is ensured.
- In Bangladesh, our trained village leaders (or "animators") run campaigns against dowry, early marriage and violence against women. In one reporting period alone (April-October 2008), animators in Bangladesh organized 50 workshops and 235 courtyard meetings on these issues. The animators stopped 108 early marriages, arranged 51 dowry-free marriages, provided legal support to 99 women and settled 117 family disputes through arbitration.
- In Africa, more than 1.1 million people have participated in The Hunger Project's HIV/AIDS and Gender Inequality Workshop, which is conducted in local languages and combines clear, accurate information on HIV/AIDS with a campaign of action to transform gender roles and end harmful practices that sustain the epidemic. As a result, gender relations are being transformed, leading to fewer instances of domestic violence, more girls in school, and the abolition of harmful local practices, such as those that require a young widow to have sex with a village elder.

BBC One is hosting a live debate tonight about poverty and other social issues arising from its lively 'observational documentary' series, The Scheme, which looks at "the dramatic and often emotional highs and lows of daily life for six families living in a large housing scheme in Kilmarnock."
Among those taking part are Poverty Truth Commission members John Carnochran (on the panel) and also Blair Green and Donna Barrowcliffe (in the audience).
The PTC is an initiative which has brought together decision-makers and people living with the reality of poverty in Scotland to make the case that there are no 'solutions' that by-pass those at the sharp end. Ordinary people need to be at the heart of policy- and change-making, not simply the recipients of supposed wisdom from 'on high'.
Although the series (shown in four parts, and now available for viewing on BBC iPlayer) focused on families and groups of residents on two estates in one particular area, the themes which came under the spotlight in The Scheme will resonate in communities. Likewise, the debate will be well worth watching.

Chris Paul orchestrates Clippers blowout win over Lakers
Los Angeles, CA, United States (4E Sports) – Chris Paul recorded 18 points and 15 dimes and Jamaal Crawford scored 21 points as the Los Angeles Clippers kept the Los Angeles Lakers winless in the three games with a 105-95 victory Friday night at Staples Center.
In the much awaited battle of Los Angeles, the Clippers jumped on the opportunity and spoiled a 40-point effort from Kobe Bryant, and more importantly, cast a cloud of doubt on the Lakers' current roster makeup.
Riding Paul's playmaking brilliance and Crawford's firepower off the bench, the Clippers controlled the ballgame from the get-go and answered every challenge by the Lakers.
After taking a 52-47 advantage at the break, the Clippers' lead ballooned to 16-points in the third quarter which carried into the final period.
Bryant poured in 17 of his 40 points in the fourth quarter but his scoring spree wasn't enough to prevent the Lakers from suffering their third straight loss.
Riddled with foul trouble, Dwight Howard finished with 13 points and 8 rebounds in 30 minutes. Lakers point guard Steve Nash sat out with a bruised left leg.
The Lakers committed 20 turnovers while their bench remained a non-factor.

Great new midday meals at Wise Sons, Square Meals, Seoul Patch, and New England Lobster
Industrial South San Francisco roads near SFO are certainly not the place most of us would head for lunch, and certainly not for lobster. But look for the new, bright red truck off Mitchell Avenue, right outside seafood-shellfish source New England Lobster. The best lobster rolls I've had have been from the East Coast — the divine, overflowing rolls at Pearl's Oyster Bar in New York's Greenwich Village have been excellent for years. But despite the New England moniker, this lobster is not the most flavorful nor is the bread that dreamy, buttery brioche used in the best lobster rolls. Nonetheless, they are satisfying sandwiches, particularly if you ask for drawn butter to drizzle over them.
Order: Lobster corn chowder ($5) is essentially a creamy bisque dotted with corn and chunks of lobster. It's decadent with a lobster roll. The only other option is a crab roll. If you happen to be nearby or on need lunch before a flight, this is a fun, unusual option.

Brewers 11, Twins 3: Baker struggles againPosted on June 15th, 2007 – 10:02 PM
By Joe Christensen
In four starts since making his brilliant 2007 debut at Milwaukee, Scott Baker is 0-2 with a 9.64 ERA. He's given up 30 hits and nine walks in 18 2/3 innings.
Tonight wasn't pretty: 4.2 IP, 7 H, 6 ER, 1 BB, 6 K and a grand slam served up to Geoff Jenkins. I'll get you some postgame reaction later and keep my ears open for these two words: Matt Garza.
Update: Sounds like Baker gets at least one more start, which would come Wednesday against the Mets at Shea Stadium.
Asked how patient the team can afford to be with Baker, Gardy said, "Well, we've pretty much run through our system here. We don't have that many options. We have Garza down there, who we think is getting pretty close, and guys like that, so we'll have to sit back and think about it, and run [Baker] back out there and go from there. You always have to look at options. He had one or two good starts here, but the others have been up and just not getting it done, so we'll see. … He's competing. He's changed his style. He's throwing some pitches, but not tonight. He just didn't get it done."

Sarah Lucas studied at the influential art school Goldsmiths College in London (1984-87). Before that she attended the Working Men's College (1982-83) and the London College of Printmaking (1983-84).
In 1988 she participated in the famous "Freeze" exhibition in the London Docklands which brought together a number of artists from Goldsmiths College and was curated by Damien Hirst. Since then this exhibition has been considered the kickoff of the YBA art and the first of a number of significant exhibitions curated by artists.
Lucas had her first solo exhibition, "Penis Nailed to a Board", in the artist run gallery City Racing in 1992.
In 1993 she and Tracey Emin set up the shop-cum-gallery The Shop in Bethnal Green Road in London's East End. The venue was a parody of the commercial galleries of the 1980s, selling t-shirts reading "I'm so fucky" and "Have you wanked over me yet?" as well as Damien Hirst ashtrays, penis sculptures, clothes, etc. Parties were thrown every Saturday but nothing was announced; everything was word of mouth.
Advertising guru and art collector Charles Saatchi acquired a number of her works, ensuring her participation in a few significant exhibitions up through the 1990s, culminating in "Sensation: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection" at the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 1997. The exhibition was subsequently mounted in Berlin and New York.
In 1995 Lucas participated in the exhibition "Brilliant! New Art from London" at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Since the mid-1990s she has participated in numerous exhibitions around the world.
Today Lucas ranks as one the YBA generation's principal artists. She exhibited in the fiftieth Venice Biennial in 2003.
Lucas is represented in international museums and collections including Tate Modern in London and Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen.

Aging out of a job is apparently becoming passe', as more Americans continue to work beyond retirement age. Whether embarking on a new career or sticking with long-held positions, seasoned workers should follow certain strategies to achieve success, career experts advise.
As previously reported, more Americans age 50 and older indicate that they delaying retirement longer than they expected. Some say that they have no plans to retire at all, according to a recent Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs survey. Their reasons vary, from financial setbacks to job satisfaction to a desire to pad their savings.
"People also stay at their jobs because working is good for your health. Mental engagement and social engagement keeps the brain sharper," said Kerry Hannon, a career transition expert and author of "Great Jobs for Everyone 50+." She noted a recent study by the French government that links postponing retirement to a decreased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia.
But career experts stress that workers hoping to put off retirement should actively refresh their skill sets and reflect on what matters most to them.
Hit "Refresh" on Skill Sets
"I think the key point is to really think about the specific job responsibilities that do keep you energized and engaged, because they are going to provide the fuel for the long-term, says Nancy Collamer, career coach, speaker and author of "Second-Act Careers: 50+ Ways to Profit From Your Passions During Semi-Retirement."
She said every worker can benefit by periodically reflecting on their strengths and talents, which in turn, makes it easier to focus on the most satisfying parts of their job — and improve them.
And one key skill that many older workers miss, or even intentionally avoid, is tech skills.
"The fact of the matter is, and something that is nonnegotiable today is that you need to have tech skills and if you're not up-to-date, then you're making a big mistake," said Hannon. "If you're not comfortable with technology, take some classes at a community college, ask your nephew, or niece, or kids or whatever you need to do for help, but get fluent in it."
Tom Long, vice president of marketing, communications & development at The WorkPlace, which offers workforce development services in Connecticut, said that workers who have been on the job scene for the long haul and even for the long-term unemployed can benefit from signing up for a refresher course on basic computer skills at local libraries that sponsor training programs.
Update Online and Offline Networks
"I think people forget about LinkedIn (see related How to Make LinkedIn Work for You), especially people who are over 50 who have the tendency to [dismiss] social media," said Hannon who added that mature workers are less likely to tout their skills than young job-seekers. By building a strong LinkedIn profiles, seasoned workers shows that they are comfortable with technology, she said.
"Another thing I don't think people recognize is that if they went to college, there are alumni networks [both online and offline], said Jane Finkle, career consultant and founder of Career Visions. "[Alumni networks] aren't just for young people, and they can find people in different fields, and often the networks are online, so they can access it through the alumni association or the career office and actually find people in different fields that they can talk to."
Mature workers should also take a strategic approach to networking offline as well. The difficulty for some is that they may find it a challenge to approach people for work connections, Long said. "Mature workers have years of experience, and they should use it, and always ask for a reference at the end of the conversation," he said. "Then it's important to follow up, and call them so they don't forget."
Reflect on the Right Type of Volunteer Work
"I tell people who want to stay in the workforce and [for those who] are having trouble getting back to work to volunteer. Do not sit around and hand out resumes blankly," said Hannon.
Some volunteer work can be more valuable than others, say career experts. People who are proficient in marketing and sales, for example, might be best suited for fundraising efforts or accounting tasks in nonprofits, Hannon said. "Not only do you keep your resume alive that way, you can take ownership of a profit," she said. "You might get a job at that non-profit, and you don't know who you're going to meet."
Added Finkle: "I think that employers are going to look for some demonstration for skill or experience. If they are going to volunteer they need to identify an area that they're interested in and would want to transition so that they can show that they have experience and have been exposed to the area."
Consider New Work Paths
Seasoned workers are committed to giving back to society, and from this, new career tracks for seniors and beyond are starting to emerge, say the experts.
They note that seniors are shifting to encore careers, "which are careers that combine purpose, passion and a paycheck," said Collamer.
Another booming area for seasoned workers is entrepreneurship, specifically in the support services area, as more people shift away from working full time to contract and freelance work. As entrepreneurship grows as a work trend for older workers, more will need to get acquainted with the appropriate skills. That includes everything from hands-on tasks like bookkeeping to skills like consulting and teaching, Collamer said.
In working with clients and in compiling information for her book, Hannon noted that many seniors, even with years of experience, have an edge of insecurity about their skill sets.
"They are qualified for jobs, but they need the boost of confidence."

It's been 26 years since Christopher Lloyd donned a lab coat and portrayed lunatic genius Doc Brown in the Back to the Future franchise. This year, though, Lloyd jumped back into the lab coat to revisit his role in an Argentinian TV commercial.
The commercial shills for an electronics store, and proudly feature both Doc and his DeLorean DMC-12. Even cooler, the DeLorean used for close-ups in the commercial is one of the actual originals used in the filming of the movie. Look closely, though, and you'll see that the machine used for the stunts is actually an old and heavily disguised Toyota Celica... apparently, nobody was in the least bit interested in damaging such an iconic movie prop.

Only got as far as a screening call from the HR person. She was fairly abrupt and not super friendly. They were looking for someone with very specific management experience (having managed a team of 8+) and she ended the interview immediately once realizing I didn't hit the 8 number. I appreciate being clear on the need for the role, but I also think from a relationship standpoint, and for future hiring, they'd want to learn about their candidates and maintain a positive experience.Interview Questions

The interviews themselves were not too challenging. The communication from the hiring managers, however, was very terrible. There was an extreme lack of communication early on and throughout the process. Hiring Managers (or whatever the job title) should be very responsible regarding feedback and next steps. At RetailMeNot though, they don't seem to be doing there job very well. I ultimately gave up on the interviewing process because of the extreme lack of professionalism and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone in my network.Interview Questions

Initial phone screen with HR (30 min) who was rather curt and rude. It didn't seem like she read my resume at all before calling me and acted uninterested the whole time we talked.
Surprisingly, I was passed on to the hiring manager for a 45 minute phone interview. Lots of questions about my online experience, some basic case questions on how to differentiate a good vs. bad coupon, some ad hoc math questions (% off vs. $ off). At the end of the conversation, he said HR would reach out to me to complete some case questions but never actually heard from them again. Very unprofessional.Interview Questions

Phone Interview with Data Architect. Asked about experience in creating work flow documents, DB ER diagrams, data flow diagrams, decision trees. Requested examples of previous work product. I emailed that, due to confidentiality agreements that every tech company requires employees to sign, I could not provide this information. I welcomed any additional questions, information I could provide, etc. but never heard from anyone at this company again. I consider this extremely unprofessional for two reasons. The first reason is I should never have been asked to break a confidentiality agreement by providing work product from another company. And second they should have followed up with, at the very least, with an email.No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview

RetailMeNot flew me to Austin on very short notice to interview for this internal PM opportunity. Interviewed with two directors (including the hiring manager) and four senior-level team members. Office culture was extremely relaxed, which is cool to a point, but it came off as a slightly unprofessional work environment. Travel agent refused to book me on a direct flight home because doing so would have cost $15 over the company's self-imposed limit on airfare expenses; they saved $35 by inconveniencing me with a connecting flight and a three-hour layover. Lead HR contact said they'd update me on their status by the end of the following day. That was three weeks ago, and I still haven't heard from anyone at the company.Interview Questions

[T]he UN has expressed fears that there could be a shortfall in money for reproductive health services as donors reduce funding and the costs of healthcare rise.
…Figures released last week showed that despite increases in funding for population assistance over the past few years, which reached $8.1m in 2007, the estimated rise to $11.2m this year is in doubt because of the economic downturn.
Donor funding for family planning – as a percentage of all population assistance – has already fallen from $723m in 1995 to $338m in 2007.

Something to keep in mind if you're playing a non-BE mage (and I'd assume it applies to Draenei as well) is that the lowest-level quests of theirs are not available to any other races. While a Tauren can head into Deathknell and complete quests, or an Undead can make the trek to the starter area of Mulgore if they feel like killing themselves during a barrens run, Blood Elf low-level quests are BE only.
They're great zones, but don't bother heading in until you're level 7 or 8, iirc.

There is absolutely no reason to take up tailoring, or any profession really before you hit 80 nowadays. Anything that can be made to help you level can be found at the AH by those who do not know any better and level a crafting skill while levelling their toon. Choose 2 gathering profs, make bucktes of gold, but what you need. At 80, power-level tailoring with the mountain of gold you've acquired while admiring your epic cold-weather flier and the new level 80 BoE epics you just bought.

I know they are the PACE but are they any good.. I currently have a TiVo but I am getting sick of it but I want a DVR.. and I know I can buy an extender HDD to increase it's capacity.
Isnt the TiVo a DVR?I would much rather have a TiVo than a Pace DVR
I've heard that the eSATA port on the Pace DVR does indeed work to extend the DVR storage space.The port however does not work on a Motorola DVR. With Service Electric you could get a Motorola or a Pace DVR. Whatever they have is what you get.Tivo Premiere would blow away any iGuide based cable box (Moto or Pace). Plus with the Tivo it's not just better graphics, its features like streaming, remote DVR programming, smartphone / iPad app, and Service Electric doesn't offer any of that.If you have an older Series 3 Tivo, or an SD Tivo, then yeah maybe the Pace DVR is worth a shot... but if you have the latest Tivo there's no comparison. The software they run sucks so bad and that's the primary reason I'm with DirecTV for that and only use Service Electric for Phone and Internet.
I think OP has the older TiVos which are a technological backwater these days. Even the Series 3 is pretty ancient.The Premiere is nice but I use media center for a whole home DVR (on Service Electric).
I have a premiere TiVo that has been upgraded with a 2TB HDD. I have some stutters and freezes with the software that makes me want to pull my hair out. I know SECV does not have the best DVR'S.. but just don't want to deal with the freezes and stuff of that nature.
I don't know if you would be interested but DirecTV has a real nice DVR. Let me know I will PM you my acct number and refer a friend number. We would both get $100 in bill credits if you sign up under me. That's $10 off a month for 10 months. Plus your new customer deals and free NFL sunday ticket... might be worth a look just for kicks.I love it. The DVR is fantastic. Much more storage space and a real nice UI.
sectv dvr are POS so far behind like most their products im talking lehigh valley system... still no docsis 3.0 they have done some channel changing no their lines are down in my area because of the hurricane another delay so fed up them but its only option.....

New Natural gas wood stove and steam heat. (3 Posts)

New Natural gas wood stove and steam heat.Hi everyone. I am in need of some advice. We purchased a Regency natural gas burning wood stove last winter. We own a 2 story home that is heated with a 1 pipe steam heat system. The boiler is a Burnham.
On our first floor we have a french door that separates the first level and the second level. We have to keep the door closed to keep our pets out and our baby in. Located on the first floor are three steam radiators and the stove.
The down stairs (first level) heats up pretty quick as you could guess with that new stove. The thermostat for the boiler is also located on the first floor. The stove has it's own Thermostat (fire genie). The problem we have obviously is that the stove heats the first level where the main thermostat is located and it shuts it off of course leaving the upstairs with no heat. I realize the answer to that issue is move the thermostat.
We are installing a wireless thermostat with comfort control that can be placed anywhere in the home. My question is, Can I just shutoff the steam radiators on the first floor by closing their air vents without causing any problems with the boiler (it's only 5 years old and is natural gas too) or do I have to bite the bullet and purchase TRV's for the 3 radiators on the first floor?
I would appreciate any help/suggestions,

You can...just shut off those radiators. With most single pipe vents, the most reliable way to shut them off it to literally turn them upside down -- just rotate them half a turn.
You will probably find that the boiler then cycles on pressure more than you would really like -- as it is now oversized by the amount of those three radiators -- but that won't hurt the boiler.
Make sure that that wireless thermostat is really compatible with steam heat -- that is, that it has the capability of being set to one cycle per hour or that the anticipator, if it is that sort, can be set properly. Also be aware that steam heat is not really happy with setbacks of much more than a a few degrees -- say three.Jamie

ThanksThanks for your help. I needed the reassurance. Now onto searching the site for the pesky no "c" wire issue for the wireless thermostat.

Kosmos 93 (Russian: Космос 93 meaning Cosmos 93), also known as DS-U2-V No.1, was a Soviet satellite which was launched in 1965 as part of the Dnepropetrovsk Sputnik programme. It was a 305-kilogram (672 lb) spacecraft,[2] which was built by the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau, and was used to conduct classified technology development experiments for the Soviet armed forces.[2]
A Kosmos-2M 63S1M[3] carrier rocket was used to launch Kosmos 93 into low Earth orbit. The launch took place from Site 86/1 at Kapustin Yar.[4] The launch occurred at 05:44 UTC on 19 October 1965, and resulted in the successful insertion of the satellite into orbit.[5] Upon reaching orbit, the satellite was assigned its Kosmos designation, and received the International Designator 1965-084A.[6] The North American Aerospace Defense Command assigned it the catalogue number 01629.
Kosmos 93 was the first of four DS-U2-V satellites to be launched.[2][7] It was operated in an orbit with a perigee of 158 kilometres (98 mi), an apogee of 208 kilometres (129 mi), 48.3 degrees of inclination, and an orbital period of 88.2 minutes.[8] On 3 January 1966, it decayed from orbit and reentered the atmosphere.[8]
