For budding small businesses or midsize companies that have already endured their growing pains, the IBM xServer 226 is a wise investment.
Pricing not available
Apple's Mac Pro has design innovations that we hope will cross over to other systems. Its performance is as strong as you'd expect for a system in its class, and it's priced right, too. You might need more flexibility in your config options, especially for 3D design, but otherwise, the Mac Pro is as solid a professional-class PC as we've seen.
The new Mac Pro, due in August, uses quad-core and 6-core Intel Xeon processors with speeds up to 3.33GHz.
Apple updates its Mac Pro line of desktop computers with an option to add the quad-core Intel Xeon. This would add $1,200 to the price of the base configuration, currently priced at $2,499.
Hewlett-Packard releases powerful new dual-Xeon workstations, set to compete with the Mac Pro, prompting a re-evaluation of the economic argument for pricey PCs.
The Xeon 3500 and 5500, Nehalem-EP processors slated for launch later this month, debut in the new Mac Pro. The chips are being offered in eight-core or four-core configurations.
Tianhe-2, with 3.1 million processor cores and a lot of Chinese-build technology, is the new leader of the twice-yearly list of the world's 500 fastest supercomputers.
The latest list of most-powerful computers is a bit of same old, same old. But soon, it won't be so easy to get ahead on the Top500 list by plugging in special-purpose accelerator cards.
The Gateway 9510 is an exceptionally robust and configurable server--with an especially high price tag to match.
Pricing not available
Apple's new Mac Pro, which was unveiled at the end of July, is a beast of a machine. Pricing starts at $4,999.

Your "Dugtrio" evolved into "Dugtits"!
Not exactly rare but it's worth remembering: Last year, the team behind LINEBARRELS OF IRON started an unofficial webcomic based off of the Kamen Rider series entitled HYBRID INSECTOR. It was unique in that it was gritty as hell and brutally deconstructed the Showa Era, set in a world where Shocker won and the Riders are hunted down.
Unfortunately, this was done without Toei's consent and they put the kibosh on the whole thing. As of now, all 9 chapters of the comic are offline…but that's never stopped anyone from finding anything before. In the meantime, the team still churns out the occasional bit of Tokusatsu art on their website.
Reblogging for amazing.

Welcome to your October VATflash. This month we have provided you with general updates on a range of VAT developments and highlighted key areas where you may encounter problems with HMRC.
Salary sacrifice schemes
In our August VATflash we discussed the impact of a recent European case which found that goods and services provided to employees under a salary sacrifice scheme are within the VAT system. New rules relating to this will be enforced on 1 January
2012. HMRC have now issued more guidance which details how schemes entered under the old rules can remain free from VAT until either the agreement is renegotiated or the employee has their post 1 January 2012 annual salary/ benefits review.
Consultation on VAT clearances
HMRC have recently announced a consultation on a clearance mechanism for VAT which has always been resisted up to now. This will enable businesses to seek clearance for the VAT treatment of a particular transaction in advance. At present,
businesses make a self-assessed decision which HMRC often challenge, rightly or wrongly. The professional bodies will be making representations so if you have any comments regarding this speak to your usual UHY partner who will feed them into the process.
Insolvency Practitioners (IPs)
Following the Paymex decision a short while ago, which held that IPs' services for Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs) were exempt from VAT and not standard-rated, there has been some confusion over whether the decision also applied to Company Voluntary Arrangements (CVAs) and Partnership Voluntary Arrangements (PVAs) where the IP's services are very similar. In a recent, quite confusing Brief, HMRC have announced that IPs should decide the VAT treatment of their services themselves, however HMRC will only be applying the Paymex decision to IVAs. This decision seems to go against the principles of VAT as it should be the nature of the services that determines VAT treatment, not the status of the client. Until an IP challenges the current position, however, CVAs and PVAs will remain subject to VAT.
Business records checks
HMRC are to extend the current program of checks on the adequacy of records kept by small and medium sized businesses. The taskforce has had a four-fold increase in staff and HMRC are planning on completing 12,000 visits to businesses by the end of the financial year, with 20,000 visits planned for the following year. Although initially saying they will only levy penalties where the record keeping is extremely poor, this is to be extended to cover what HMRC calls "serious inadequacies in record keeping".
Compound interest
A further reference has gone to the European Court of Justice asking whether HMRC should be required to pay compound interest to a taxpayer who was disadvantaged by a HMRC mistake, opposed to the simple interest set out in UK legislation. Having already lost several cases on this matter, HMRC are now fighting a rearguard action and at a recent meeting with professional bodies explained that the reason they were resisting it was that "… taxpayers would find the application of compound interest difficult to understand." If HMRC were required to pay compound interest on the thousands of disadvantaged businesses already known about, the sheer scale of the Treasury's liability would add significantly to the Treasury's economic woes. This, understandably, presents questions as to the real reason behind their resistance.
Customs duty
Moving on to other forms of indirect tax, HMRC have recently announced that they are tightening up the rules on IPR (Inward Processing Relief) which gives relief from Customs Duty on goods entering the UK temporarily. Broadly speaking, you must get the paperwork right, irrespective of the fact that the goods may indeed have left the UK, or they will collect Customs Duty anyway. Those businesses affected may wish to read Customs Information Paper (11) 81 for more details.

VATflash September 2014
If your business is involved in the area of digital downloads, or electronically supplied services to give it its more accurate label, you will need to prepare for the new VAT rules coming into force on 1 January 2015 across the EU.
VATflash July 2014
Our July VATflash discusses the changes to customs procedures for imports of goods into the European Union.
VATflash November 2013
Our November VATflash discusses the complicated VAT treatment of tripartite arrangements. Although tripartite arrangements are not in themselves unusual, they cause difficulties when determining who can reclaim the VAT on relevant costs since the person contracting and paying for the service may not actually be the person receiving it.
VATflash June 2013
Our June VATflash discusses the VAT concept of single vs. multiple supplies and the implications for your business' VAT position. It also discusses some recent cases relating to this matter for a company selling caravans, a supermarket selling disposable BBQs, and a French undertakers business.
VATflash January 2013
This month's VATflash focuses on the changes to the research exemption and the long-term hire of means of transport, updates from the courts and a number of other VAT related issues.
VATflash November 2012
This month's VATflash discusses the ongoing Tribunal of Sub One, the changes to the Business Records Checks project, HMRC's latest taskforce launches, extending the higher education VAT exemption to commercial providers, input VAT on the theft of goods, information on the tax gap, VAT registration for non-resident businesses and recent appointments.

Henrik Lundqvist was informed on Wednesday that he is a finalist for the Vezina Trophy, awarded annually to the league's top goaltender, and voted on by the general managers. It is the fourth time in his seven-year career Lundqvist has been a finalist for the Vezina Trophy, and the first time since the 2007-08 season.
"It's a great feeling, and I'm really proud and honored to be with those names," said Lundqvist, who is joined as a finalist by Nashville's Pekka Rinne and Jonathan Quick of the Los Angeles Kings. "It's been a year where a lot of goalies have been playing really well, so to be up there is really a great feeling. Obviously I take a lot of pride in that."
Lundqvist posted a career-high 39 wins this past season to go along with a career-low 1.97 goals against average, career-best .930 save percentage, and 8 shutouts. He ranked third among all NHL goalies in wins, save percentage, and shutouts, while placing fourth in goals against average.
"I think all of my teammates here should feel good about it because this is all about teamwork," explained Lundqvist, who has never won the Vezina Trophy. "I had a good year, but without them I couldn't have done this."
The winner be will announced during the NHL Awards show in Las Vegas on June 20th.

This person never played the Warcraft III Orc campaign or The Frozen Throne's bonus campaign. As you can see in Durotar to this day, the Alliance actually DID invade the Horde's new home without any provocation, only to be defeated by Rexxar, the forces of Orgrimmar, and Theramore loyalists. Thrall is also one of the most compassionate and forgiving characters in all of Warcraft.
The arenas are technically owned by the goblins, so the orcs have no real sway in the politics of it, mainly using it as entertainment and business. Rehgar was raised a gladiator, and now he trains gladiators. He also lets them go willingly, he is not an evil person. He saw Varian as a "Theramore deserter", orcs believe strongly in honor, and deserting your people is very dishonorable in their eyes. Varian was seen as an untrustworthy human because of this, and was only then taken to be a gladiator.
"At Dire Maul, I recouped my investment in those two a thousand times over. I knew this day was coming. A man is truly a prisoner only as long as he agrees to remain one. After that, in his heart, at least, he is free. And where his heart is, his body may follow if his will is strong enough." -Rehgar

Good Questions: Question About Width of Hall Runner
Los Angeles
We recently acquired "A Little of This" Flor tiles to create a runner at the end of our long hallway. We love the tiles (as does the cat, as you can see) but I keep having this urge to cut one column of tiles in half, so that the total width of the carpet is 26" instead of 39"...
Currently, the edges of the carpet are about an inch-and-a-half from the baseboard, which seems a little tight, especially given how nice our floors our. When I described this to my husband and mother, however, they were both puzzled. Is my instinct right, or should I just leave it as is?Thanks! -Anna
What do you think AT community? We'd personally trim between 3/4"-1" from each side instead of cutting only one FLOR tile in half but would love to hear your opinion on the matter to help Anna's runner dilemma.
34 Comments
Kitteh loaf!
I agree with you. I don't think it looks right. Although I cutting the FLOR pieces may look odd as well. You do have a beautiful hallway and kitty!
Your instincts are correct; the runner is too wide. Most new runners sold today are around 30 inches wide. You should see more of the floor on the sides of the rug. If you wanted to cover the entire floor, you'd put in wall to wall carpeting, right?
I considered FLOR tiles for a runner, but one-tile width is too narrow, and two-tile widths is too wide for my space. I think it might look odd to cut your tiles down. The proportions would be off.
If you have a modest older home (like my 1920s bungalow), even 30 inches is too wide for narrow hallways. A lot of older or imported runners are 24 inches wide, so I've usually gone that route.
Kitty with no tail! Just like mine!
I'd also agree with the 1" from each side rather than cutting a FLOR tile in half. I think anywhere from 1" to 1.5" gap from the walls would do the trick.
I think your instinct it right on: Cut some tiles in half, and alternate the side that gets the half tile...
...and get some additional whole tiles to extend your runner longer down the hall with the other half-tiles.
You might even consider choosing another color and alternating the colors down your long corridor...
I think 1/3 to 1/2 a tile width needs to go, and yes, there should be a whole tile in the center with cut pieces on either side (and you do have nice floors).
I know nothing about what a runner's width should be, but your kitty is lovely.
You showing much disrespect to Buddha by placing him on the floor. Elevate him on a table or the like as soon as possible.
I agree with bepsf, and would add:
Cut four of the Flor tiles in half.
Take the two leftover whole ones in that column and put them on the end, to extend the length of the runner.
Alternate which side, left-to-right, the half-tiles go on.
Put the cut edge of the half tiles up against the edge of the whole tiles for a clean outer edge.
I'd test this on /one/ tile first... not sure whether FLOR will lose structural integrity or have an unacceptably raggedy edge when cut. Probably depends on the weave.
Another relatively inexpensive option: Get a custom-sized sisal runner and stain it to whatever color you like with aniline dye. I believe NaturalAreaRugs.com will do custom sizes, and even a borderless bound edge, and they're very inexpensive... like under a hundred bucks for a 2' x 8' runner. And yes, I've tried aniline dye on sisal and it worked *beautifully*.
chop a bit off each side, then turn the raw edges inward so that the original edge is on the outside. the raw edges should kind of smush together and you'll barely be able to see the center seam.
maybe try one long runner one square wide, and purchasing another color of carpet and chop it up to use as a border. that way u could make the border as thick as u wanted.
like in this image, but only one square wide:
Since you are cutting, you can do this to an exact custom size. The runner should be exactly 2/3 the width of the hall. If the total width of the hall is 42" (my guess), then the runner should be 28". One Flor tile in the middle, and 4.5" of a tile on either side. Or you could alternate one full tile on the right, 1/2 tile on the left, and then flip the pattern on the next set.
The great news is that your tile order will go much further.
Hehe :) Bepfs, and amandacollier, have already written down exactly what my idea was :D
Looks really great!
My suggestion would be this. The wall with the photographs gives weight to the hallway.
If you do not plan on placing photographs/other on the opposite wall, cut down only one side of the tiles to counteract the "weighted" feeling (so the division of tiles is not equal). This will help counteract the weighted feeling.
If you do decide to put photographs/other on the opposite wall, I would cut down both sides.
All the best,
Kitty has told me to leave as is...more room for looking gorgeous. That green really makes Russian Blue kitty eyes pop!
Same as Tes Moana...and bepfs, and amandacollier.
I agree with pvett. But I think you should pick up 9 more tiles in a complimentary stripe or print or contrasting color; and cut 8 of those tiles in thirds. Use those as a border on both sides of a single row of the solid tiles you already have, effectively doubling the length of your runner. The 9th tile could be cut in either half or thirds to form the endcaps. You certainly seem to have the hallway length for 12 tiles in a single row, plus borders.
Love how you matched the tile color to kitty's eyes.
First - lovely kitty - twin to my Basil
Second - I'm an interior designer and I am familiar with FLOR. Of course, design is all a matter of opinion. Go wall to wall or cut it short. But I would suggest about a 2" to 2-1/2" gap on each side.
Now to cut the tiles you can either cut both and have two equal side by side. Or you can cut one and have a full tile down the middle and two shorter tiles on each side.
Hopefully the FLOR tile came with cutting instructions. If not, purchase a metal straight edge from an art supply store that is several inches longer than the tiles. Flip the tile over and on the backside, measure dimensions in several locations, mark and then use the straight edge to draw a line with a ballpoint pen or a sharpie along your marks. Using a fresh utility knife blade and on top of a cutting surface, line up the metal straight edge and hold it firmly in place. Rather than cutting through all at once, make several soft cuts through the tile. Once through, if the fibers are connected to the two cut pieces, use scissors and cut. If the fibers edges are a little ragged, turn the tile right side up and use the scissors on a slight angle towards the tile and trim the fibers - these cut edges should be the outside edge of the runner.
Good luck!
Go for it!! :D
You showing much disrespect to Kitty by placing him on the floor. Elevate him on a table or the like as soon as possible.
I agree w/ bepsf. Your russian blue is beautiful!
I think you should go with your instincts and cut the tiles to make the runner more narrow. I agree with everyone else who said to make it longer.
I have the same tiles as Gregory. It looks like he just placed the tiles from the box without raking the nap. This is one of Flor's light shag versions. The borders will not be seen so it shouldn't matter where he makes the cut (I think 30 inches would look best). As long as the arrows on the underside of the carpet are facing the same direction he will be fine.
Good Luck!
thank you tarsengreen, my thought exactly!
We had the same issue with FLOR with our hallway, so we took up all the tiles on the left and extended the entire runner into the living room, we only walked on that one side really, and it brought the two room together as well as creating a unique 1/2 hallway runner and an interesting wall/floor border into our living room
You're right, these are too wide for the space. I don't know if there's an accepted size of gap between runner and wall, but I do know you know it when you see it, and this ain't it.
I actually think you're going to have to let go of these flor tiles in this location altogether. If you cut them down you'll make them rectangular instead of square, which I don't think will look nearly as good.
I also think that whatever solution you replace these with, it should go the full length of the hall. It currently looks like you just ran out...
I think you should cut them, but not how you had in mind or how others are suggesting.
If you were to cut them diagonally, you could create a pattern like so:
If my math* is right, the width would be about 27.5 inches, plus you would have a neat pattern instead of awkward rectangles.
* If the current full width is 39 inches, each tile is 19.5 inches wide/tall, so the diagonal should be just over 27.5 inches. (square root of 19.5^2 19.5^2)
I had the same idea as David (above me). Do that!
I had a defective Russian Blue, in that she craved heat, and couldn't stand the cold. This fella looks tougher than my kitteh, and looks fantastic on the rug.
"Eyem on ur rugz, lookin' better than u"
I like your math, David Millar!
Beautiful beautiful cat.
I have a different question-what makes a long, narrow, tall hallway have more graceful proportions? wall-to-wall carpeting? Walls in two different colors? A mirror? My boyfriend's hallway is only a few feet wide, the ceilings are over 10 feet and it is approximately 30 feet long...
As you rightly say your floor is lovely I have two questions:
1) why use a runner at all if the floors are so nice
2) why does the runner stop after a few feet? Its supposed to run the length of the hallway
but yes it is too wide for the width of your hallway
After seeing the photo looking down the hallway, I was thinking that it would be neat to just use what you have without cutting and turn it into one long row of them, but not centered.
You have a really nice gallery-like area. And great floors. Why not emphasize the space by making a long row of them close to the wall of frames, maybe about 4" away from the wall? I think it would look great and a lot easier than cutting! Plus, if you try it and don't like the way it looks, you can always just go back to your original idea. Good luck!
PS- your cat is so pretty! And so is the hallway. :)
Where did you get your buddah? I've been looking for one for a home meditation altar.
Are proper 30" carpet runners REALLY that hard to come by? Just get the right item already...

Someday, my prince will come. #snowwhite
Water. It's a peaceful, serene, tranquil sort of thing. It can also scare the living crap out of you.
True Story:
This evening, as I innocently turned the faucet in the kitchen sink to fill my glass with crystal-clear, purified water, the water filter surprised me with a cruel sneak attack. IT EXPLODED. No lie. The water filter blew into smithereens and flew in all directions, narrowly missing my stunned face. Water was spraying EVERYWHERE, even onto my pink pajamas. I let out a shriek of terror and dropped my glass.
My mom, hearing my scream, ran downstairs and turned off the water. "What happened??" she asked.
Still spigot-shocked, I pointed at the sink. "It…it…it attacked me!" Oh my gosh! I nearly died!
Okay, so I didn't nearly die. But I came pretty darn close. Scary stuff.
Watch out for those water filters. They can get you!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rooftop Run (iOS) review
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rooftop Run (hereafter Rooftop Run) is a new iOS game from Nickelodeon. It's available now as a $1.99 download from the App Store, and carries additional in-app purchases. The game displays a prominent advisory message about in-app purchases upon being run for the first time.
Rooftop Run is, as its name suggests, another in the long line of endless runner games available on the App Store. Taking on the role of one of the four Turtles, the player must survive as long as possible against endless waves of Foot Clan ninjas while simultaneously ensuring they do not fall off the rooftops or run out of "speed" — a constantly-diminishing resource that causes the game to end if it depletes completely, but which can be replenished by collecting glowing green energy orbs scattered around the play area. Filling the speed bar completely causes the game to switch to "Turtle Time," at which point the player can gain bonuses by fighting off incoming Foot Clan ninjas with taps on the screen in indicated positions. After Turtle Time ends, play continues, but the speed bar begins to deplete more quickly, making it more difficult to fill again.

Marc-Andre Fleury knows he'll have to wait until spring for the chance to truly redeem himself in the eyes of his doubters. Until then, however, all the Pittsburgh Penguins netminder is doing is winning.
With Saturday's 3-2 win over the New Jersey Devils, Fleury notched his league-leading 18th victory. In 28 games played, he's earned a 2.01 goals-against average, .924 save percentage and is tied for the league lead with three shutouts.
Fleury's teammates made him work for the win Saturday, giving up 39 shots to a team typically thought of as more defensive-minded. The Penguins jumped out to an unlikely 3-0 lead by the 15-minute mark of the first period, then got away from their game plan for the final two frames, where they were outshot 32-11.
"We took our foot off the pedal in terms of how we play and execute with the puck [and were] a little careless in how we managed the puck," said head coach Dan Bylsma. "They put a lot of pucks behind our defense, they dumped a lot of pucks and they came on the forecheck over and over again, and that resulted in some offensive zone time that they carried."
"We started the game so well, but we knew they just weren't going to quit [with] a lot of time to play," Fleury said. "They came out hard in the second, a lot of guys to the net, just shooting pucks and going for rebounds, tips and screens. Even though they scored two goals, I thought we didn't panic, just focused on the game and it ended up pretty well."
After those two goals – which came in a 56-second span early in the second – Fleury turned in a stellar performance, shutting down the Devils on first attempts, rebounds, breakaways and odd-man rushes to earn the game's No. 1 star.
"I think after [the first] they dominate the shots, they dominate the opportunities," Bylsma said. "They certainly had some very good, grade-A opportunities that we gave up. Marc-Andre had to make a handful of excellent saves, not to mention the end of the game where there were flurries of pucks [to] the net and pucks to the blue paint and he had to be strong around the crease."
"We've got to play a more complete game than that," said forward Jayson Megna, who scored what ended up being the game-winning goal. "Flower played another great game and bailed us out there. I think [he] stole that one for us."
Coming up big is what the 29-year-old goaltender has been doing most of the season for the Penguins, who sit second in the East with 45 points, one behind the Boston Bruins.
With rookie backup Jeff Zatkoff taking the place of veteran Tomas Vokoun so far this year – out with blood clots, Vokoun has not yet decided if he'll play hockey again – Fleury has started 28 of the Penguins' 33 games, a number matched only by San Jose's Antti Niemi and Vancouver's Roberto Luongo.
Fleury, who likes to carry the lion's share of the workload, isn't concerned about getting tired. "I think the schedule hasn't been too crazy; it's been all right," he said. But – particularly in the long-term absence of three of Pittsburgh's top four defensemen in Paul Martin, Brooks Orpik and Rob Scuderi – the team sticking to its game plan and giving Fleury the occasional easier night would go a long way.
"He talks a lot about both scenarios; I think there are games where he doesn't get a ton [of work] and, in a situation like tonight in the second and third periods, there's a lot of action," Bylsma said. "I think he's going to tell you that it's nice to get a lot of shots, flurries and action at his net. But I think he'd just as soon not have some of the grade-A quality [chances] that he had to come up with big saves [on] at key points in the game, especially in the third period."

Irwin was surrounded by nature and its varied inhabitants from birth. His father was a wildlife expert and his mother was dedicated to wildlife rehabilitation and conservation. He too developed an adoration for living things, and on his sixth birthdaym he received a 12-foot long scrub python, which he named Fred. When Irwin was eight his parents started the small reptile park that would eventually become the Australia Zoo.
Irwin began to handle crocodiles at the age of nine, and eventually volunteered to trap crocodiles in populated areas and move them to his family's zoo. This task was just one facet of his ever-growing loyalty to wildlife conservation, specifically that of endangered species. Although his intelligence was undeniable, it was truly his passion for his field that made him a star.
Irwin's journey to fame truly began when he met an old friend who was filming a commercial at the zoo and offered to film a documentary on Irwin and his crocodiles. The Crocodile Hunter aired on the Discovery Channel two years later to great success, followed by the off-the-wall Crocodile Hunter series, in which Irwin dealt with poisonous snakes, thousand-pound elephants and twenty-foot crocodiles, just to name a few. Irwin continued to make other documentaries and later a feature film, Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course.
Critics have claimed that Irwin and his shows were exploitative. Australian writer Germaine Greer wrote that Every creature he brandished at the camera was in distress, and said regarding his death that The animal world has finally taken revenge. But while Irwin's personality may have been brash, he cared deeply for the natural world in which he lived, which he displayed not only through his enthusiasm but through his financial actions. As his popularity skyrocketed and his revenues grew, Irwin purchased huge portions of land in Australia, the United States, Fiji and Vanuatu, which he set aside to be like national parks.
Irwin also founded a charity, later renamed Wildlife Warriors Worldwide, about which he said, We want to do our bit for the environment. We have been called wildlife warriors and I reckon that pretty much sums us up. We're fighting to make a massive difference to wildlife and wilderness conservation, and we want to make people aware all over the world about the environment and just how precious it is all of it!
Wildlife Warriors Worldwide has run for four years and is now active in Australia, Asia and Africa. Irwin also founded the International Crocodile Rescue organization and the Lyn Irwin Memorial Fund, all proceeds of which go to the Iron Bark Station Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre. Regarding his own show he once said that Every cent we earn from Crocodile Hunter goes straight back into conservation. Every single cent, which, given the shows success, amounted to no small sum.
When he was four years old, his fathers parrot nearly bit Irwin's nose off, resulting in a lifelong phobia. But other than parrots, there didnt seem to be anything Irwin was afraid of, or anything he wouldnt do in the name of education and entertainment. In a radio interview Irwin once said, Born a wildlife warrior, die a wildlife warrior. While his death was a tragedy for which many mourn, it was how he would, in the end, have wanted to go.

RHINELANDER(WKOW) -- A teacher at
Rhinelander High School is due in court this week on charges of growing dozens
of marijuana plants at his home.
The Rhinelander School District says 35-year-old Joshua
Juergens will remain on paid leave until the investigation is over. He is in court on Thursday.
Juergens appeared in court Friday without an
attorney. A judge set his next court date for Thursday to give him time to find
a lawyer. Juergens' bond was set at $1,500 cash.
Prosecutors say investigators found about 60
marijuana plants in a hidden room in Juergens' basement. A detective says the
operation was sophisticated, including an exhaust system, fertilizers and a
motorized trolley system.

"I just received the copy of Oncology & Hematology Review in the mail – it looks great!"
Lung cancer is the most lethal cancer in men and women in the western world. Eighty per cent of cases are non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) whose subtypes include squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and large-cell carcinoma. Of these, approximately 80% will present with either locally advanced or metastatic disease – i.e. stage IIIB or IV disease – and are unlikely to be cured.
Treatment options for these patients include best supportive care (BSC), chemotherapy or a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. NSCLC are less chemosensitive than small-cell carcinoma and complete responses are rare, but nevertheless chemotherapy provides some improvements in quality of life (QoL) and life expectancy compared with BSC, particularly in better performance status (PS) patients. This article will discuss the medical treatment of NSCLC, with some attention to the newer epidermal growth factor (EGFR) antagonists.
Chemotherapy versus Best Supportive Care
Chemotherapy became a serious entity for NSCLC only in the mid- 1990s, particularly after a meta-analysis by the Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Collaborative Group who looked at all randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of chemotherapy or BSC in all treatment situations (i.e. surgery, radiotherapy or BSC).1 In trials of chemotherapy versus BSC in advanced disease, nine RCTs showed that chemotherapy conferred a small survival advantage of six to eight weeks. However, in these retrospective analyses there were no QoL data. Chemotherapy regimes may have considerable side effects, thus it is important to take this into account. A balance will inevitably have to be struck between QoL and the effects of chemotherapy, which may be influenced by any additional morbidity of these regimes. After chemotherapy, overall one-year survival in advanced disease was 30% compared with BSC, where oneyear survival was only 17%.
Chemotherapy Regimens
The NSCLC Collaborative Group meta-analysis showed that only cisplatincontaining regimens were effective, but the advantages were small.1 Although a number of different regimens of these second-generation compounds have been used, there is little to choose between them.
However, several drugs in combination were better than single-agent therapy, with better response rates and prolonged survival, at the cost of increased toxicity with combination therapy. Common secondgeneration chemotherapy regimens include mitomycin, ifosfamide and cisplatin (MIC) and mitomycin, vinblastine and cisplatin (MVP). The effect of MIC versus BSC was studied by Cullen (1999) in 351 patients, demonstrating a prolongation in median survival of seven weeks.2 Smith et al. studied the effect of another common regime, and in particular the duration of chemotherapy, by administering either three or six cycles of MVP.3 The authors concluded that there was no benefit in continuing chemotherapy beyond three cycles in terms of median survival, one-year survival and QoL. These regimes were used in over 70% of the patients in the Big Lung trial, which compared BSC with four different chemotherapy regimes and importantly demonstrated a survival benefit with no detrimental effect in terms of QoL for the addition of chemotherapy.4 This advantage had been hinted at, for example, by Cullen et al., who compared four courses of MIC with BSC and demonstrated an increase in median survival of two months.2 The overall response rate to chemotherapy was 31%, with a complete response of 2% and a partial response of 29%. Only a small subset of patients entered a QoL study and this showed an improvement in the symptom scores as measured by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC QLC-LC13). However, the largest study of this type was the Big Lung trial, with nearly 400 patients recording QoL.

I could trash talk, or I could share with you this incredible song.
Together we cry
Together we cry
Jenny was a poor girl, living in a rich world
Named her baby hope when she was just 14
She was hoping for a better world for this little girl
But the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree
When she gets that call, Hope's too far gone
Her baby's on the way, with nothing left inside
Together We Cry
What about the John Play, could have gone the whole way
Lighting up the stage tryna get a deal
Now he's lighting up the wrong way, something for the pain
Man you wanna see this kid he was so fuckin' unreal
When he gets that call, he's too far gone
Can't get it together to sing one song
And they won't hear tonight the words of a lullaby
Together We Cry [X4]
Mary's ambition, she wants to be a politician
She's been dreaming about it since she was a girl
She thought, that she'd be the one who could change the world
Always tryna pave the way for women in a man's world
But life happened, house, kids, two cars, husband hits the jar,
Checks that don't go very far now
Now she ain't making changes, she keeps her mind on her wages
The only rattling cages are her own
Together We Cry [X4]
There's so much sad gonna flood the ocean
We're all in tears for a world that's broken
Together We Cry
There comes a time when every bird has to fly
At some point every rose has to die
It's hard to let your children go, leave home, where they go, who knows?
Gettin' drunk, gettin' stoned all alone
Teach a man to fish, feed a man for life
Show your kids the truth, and hope they never lie
Instead of reading in a letter that they've gone to something better
Bet you're sorry now, I won't be coming home tonight
I'm sick of looking for those heroes in the sky
To teach us how to fly
Together we cry, we cry, we cry
Together We Cry
Together We Cry
there's so much sad gonna flood the ocean
With all the tears from a world that's broken
Together We Cry [4x]

Weigh-in notes from Macau, China.
Okay, that commercial with Arianny getting that guy up at 6 a.m. saying that there's fights to watch was a great idea.
Rich Franklin looks really drawn out making 185. He's the got sunken eyes and protruding bones that looks like scary.
No Dana White, Joe Silva (injured reserve) or Marc Ratner here. Guys out are Bruce Buffer, Jon Anik, Reed Harris, Sean Shelby and Mark Fischer.
Facebook fights start at 7:40 a.m. Eastern
Riki Fukuda (18-6, 186) vs. Tom DeBlass (7-1, 185)
John Lineker (19-6, 126) vs. Yasuhiro Urushitani (19-5-6, 125.5) - Lineker was scared to death of not making weight. Weighed in naked and started celebrating when he made weight, hugging his second.
Motonobu Tezuka (19-4-4, 135.5) vs. Alex Caceres (7-5, 136) - Caceres looks like a stick at this weight, like one of those 90 pound actresses)
Fuel Fights at 9 a.m.
Jeff Hougland (10-5, 135) vs. Takeya Mizugaki (15-7-2, 135.5)
Jon Tuck (6-0, 156) vs. Tiequan Zhang (18-3, 155)
Mac Danzig (22-9-1, 155) vs. Takanori Gomi (33-8, 1 no contest, 155) - Danzig looks in great shape, Gomi looks physically bigger)
Paulo Thiago (14-4, 169.5) vs. Dong Hyun Kim (15-2-1, 1 no contest, 170.5)
Stanislav Nedkov (12-0, 203) vs. Thiago Silva (14-3, 1 no contest, 205)
Rich Franklin (29-6, 1 no contest, 185) vs. Cung Le (8-2, 186) - 5 round fight. Cung looks like an old guy who trains. Franklin looks thin and immediately went for the water.

Book Description:
Featuring comprehensive coverage of the most important modern topics in organizational behaviour, this text for the junior, senior, or MBA-level OB course uses a conceptual framework to present research-based coverage of OB theories always followed by applications. Thoroughly revised, the sixth edition takes a totally up-to-date approach to the field. The book provides a strong conceptual framework for the study, understanding and application of OB and recognizes that we are now in a global economy and integrates an international perpsective throughout. Part III is now called "The heart of OB: Motivation, learning, and leadership". No other OB text has a theoretical chapter followed by an applied chapter on these three most important topics in the field. Over 30 new, cutting-edge topics such as self-efficacy, positive and negative affectivity, organizational commitment, self-managed teams, control theory, cognitive resource theory, learned helplessness, psychological hardiness, employee empowerment, telecommunication technology, divergent thinking, judgmental heuristics and biases, social decision schemes, status quo tendency, population ecology, and the learning organization. This edition includes new, highlighted "International Application Examples", along with some end-of-chapter cases, plus chapters 19 and 20 provide coverage of the international and cultural context of OB. It provides a more balanced treatment of the applications of OB theories on Leadership Applied (ch. 11) and significantly improves the attitude and behavioural decision-making chapters. In addition to new short discussion cases a new end of chapter "real Case", drawn from recent events, enhances relevance and applications. A new, longer, integrative real case also ends each major part.

For many students, Pacific University is one stop on a journey to a satisfying career. It may not be the last stop for students planning to pursue an advanced degree or professional study in medicine, pre-law, finance, or healthcare, it can be the most important.
Pacific's academic programs combine theory with active learning. Through research projects and internships, you'll gain hands-on experience highly valued by competitive graduate programs. And, you will have a faculty adviser to guide you through the application and testing process.
Along with its undergraduate degree programs, Pacific also offers several graduate programs. These programs attract students from across the region and the country, as well as many Pacific University undergraduates.
Pacific undergraduates who are interested in pursuing a graduate program in the health professions can take advantage of the Advantage Scholars Program, offering students rigorous preparation for careers in the health professions, with a combination of coursework, advising, observational hours, experiential learning opportunities, and assistance with the application process. Students in the Advantage Program may apply for an early decision for admission to Pacific's health professions programs during their junior year.
Students also can participate in a number of pre-professional programs. These programs help students complete prerequisite coursework to prepare for specific graduate programs, provide an adviser along the way, and also give students opportunities to meet professionals in their fields of interest and network with peers with similar interests.
Pre-professional tracks
- Pre-Dental
- Pre-Dental Health Science
- Pre-Law
- Pre-Med
- Pre-Optometry and Visual Science
- Pre-Occupational Therapy
- Pre-Pharmacy
- Pre-Physician Assistant Studies
- Pre-Physical Therapy
No matter what your interest area, applying to graduate schools means taking aptitude tests, writing personal statements, and filling out applications. Pacific's Career Development Center sponsors workshops to help students with the process and helps them make educated decisions about their futures.
Finally, Pacific University successful alumni are a great source of information and connection. Alumni often return to campus to talk to students about their experiences, and they also can serve as mentors on your journey.

VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Cardinals have gathered for their final day of talks before the conclave to elect the next pope amid debate over whether the Catholic Church needs a manager pope to clean up the Vatican's messy bureaucracy or a pastoral pope who can inspire the faithful and make Catholicism relevant again.
Several cardinals were signed up to speak at Monday's closed-door session, an indication that the red-capped prelates still have plenty to discuss before sequestering themselves Tuesday afternoon in the Sistine Chapel for the first vote.
There's no clear front-runner, but a handful of names are circulating as top candidates.
