Happily, I am now a five year breast cancer survivor, and I am thankful to my friends, family, my health care team, and to science and medical discoveries. Dealing with cancer and treatment is never easy and it's damned scary, but it is easier when you have support from friends, not prayers, but a shoulder to lean on. One of my closest Catholic friends and I were suffering from cancer at the same time. I was lucky, she was not. Cancer doesn't care if you sprinkle holy water on yourself or whether you are an atheist.
Please share your story and let's celebrate, express our gratitude, and support those who are battling cancer without god.

Great news!!! As of this coming June 6th, I will be 7 years!
Congratulations to you too, Patricia. One out of six women gets breast cancer. Every time I am in a gathering of six women, I hope I'm the only one in the group. Cheers!
For all women who've ever wondered if the Pink Ribbon campaigns are worthless... watch this very well made documentary: Pink Ribbons Inc., by renowned film maker Léa Pool, from Quebec.
I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in December, 2008. The following spring I underwent a radical prostatectomy by means of DaVinci Robotic Surgery. After a month's recovery I underwent six weeks of radiation treatment. Ever since then, I've been undergoing semi-annual cancer screenings. My last examination (Sep., 2013) involved a cystoscopy, ultrasound examination and a few blood tests. All results were negative.
Glad you're here!!!
That's when the word ''negative'' is positive!
Thank you so much for your story and encouragement. I very much agree with your statement, "Dealing with cancer and treatment is never easy and it's damned scary, but it is easier when you have support from friends, not prayers, but a shoulder to lean on. One of my closest Catholic friends and I were suffering from cancer at the same time. I was lucky, she was not. Cancer doesn't care if you sprinkle holy water on yourself or whether you are an atheist."
My experience with cancer, with the surgery, chemo, radiation and now seven more months of Herceptin has been scary and enlightening. Those who said they would pray for me, I responded by thanking them and saying to think about the meaning of cancer, its causes and prevention, then go get a thorough examination. If they still had time and energy, volunteer at a cancer care phacility, or give to cancer research, or do a fundraising project. That means more to me than kneeling and praying.
I am an atheist and I have no problem for lack of a god to save me. My professional team, my family team, my neighbor team and my virtual team on the internet walked with me through the terrible times and the milestones along the way to healing.
I join you in battling cancer without god.
I, too, am a breast cancer survivor and this Atheist Nexus team walked with me through the most dreadful days and cheered me on as I climbed Mount Cancer! I am almost completed with treatment and look forward to a healthy, productive, happy future.
I am so encouraged to learn of your five year recovery. There is real hope for those just beginning the climb, and with good teams of medical professionals, family, neighbors, friends, and virtual friends, we can remain relatively peaceful during those challenges.
May I recommend the Cancer group here on A|N; many people posted describing their symptoms, effects of treatments, things that helped and harmed them as they took on the fight, and even offered some fun along the way.
So many people offered me prayers when I reported I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I thanked them for their concern and then asked them to get a check up themselves and remind their loved ones to get one. I also offered ideas of other things they could actually do, such as give money to cancer research, participate in money raising drives, to learn about cancer, and volunteer at a cancer care facility. The volunteers who helped me learn how to unplug chemo equipment and go to the bathroom, or who brought me water or snacks to help get the chemical taste out of my mouth, or who helped those who had no help from family members, or to hold an emesis basin for those whose bodies projectile vomited.
On my more wretched days, when prayer was offered I said that prayer was inadequate and insufficient when dealing with cancer, they could do something useful and list options.
Cancer is not a kind, loving, or compassionate disease. It requires thought and action to meet it head on. On March 19, 2013, when my physician called to tell me I had breast cancer, I responded as I do to any challenge, "What do we do now?" I create a team from the very beginning and built them as I went along.
As I completed each protocol of chemo, radiation, and now Herceptin drips, I thank each team member and express my gratitude for their kindness and compassion. I have no need to thank god or any supernatural being other than my own body's work.
Thank you for sharing your story Roz and Russ.
There is no cancer on either side of my family... so I am crossing my fingers that I'm in the clear also. But I am fascinated by the Pink-Ribbon-Big-Pharma-charity-industrial-complex.
This week, 4 of the biggest Cancer foundations (Breast, children, and... watch the documentary) in North America have been caught defrauding the government for fraudulent tax deductions for donations in kind to Guatemala.
By David Fitzpatrick and Drew Griffin, CNN Investigations (on AC360)
"Documents obtained by CNN show that Charity Services International, a private South Carolina company, claimed to have shipped nearly $40 million in medicines and other donations on behalf of 15 small charities to Guatemala in 2010. Those same charities also reported sending another $10 million to Guatemala the next year.
According to its tax filings, one of those American charities, The Breast Cancer Society of Mesa, Arizona, claimed to have shipped $22 million of donations by itself in 2010.
But a joint investigation by CNN, the Tampa Bay Times and the Center for Investigative Reporting could find no trace of even a fraction of those donations."
This in addition to the many many studies in the last decade demonstrating "early detection" is not at all efficient at diminishing deaths by breast cancer, and that the obsession with mammograms destroys more lives than it saves.
Back in the days, breast cancer campaigns were part of the feminist movement, because our medical research establishments were treating women pretty badly, but as the Mega-charity-Big-Pharma-industrial-complex has taken over these campaigns, one wonders if we're getting value for our money.
Oh jeez! You are correct! "one wonders if we're getting value for our money."
Well, if that is the reality, there must be a remedy. Thankfully, you report from an investigation by CNN, the Tampa Bay Times and the Center for Investigative Reporting. That is a beginning. Now, it is up to us to read, understand, and act upon these findings.
Thanks TNT666
At the same time, I am grateful for the research that shows there is a difference between different products and one can make a better choice, given there has been researched testing of the effectiveness of different products and processes. My chemo and radiation M.D.s gave me all kinds of research reports when I asked for more information. If they were faux reports, shame on them. If they were valid, shame on those who do not report accurately.
So many of my friends and loved ones gave me surefire remedies that had no basis in double blind research, and I could dismiss them out of hand.

Package pyserial-py27-2.7-1
|Python access to serial ports (2.7-1)
pySerial -------- This module encapsulates the access for the serial port. It provides backends for standard Python running on Windows, Linux, BSD (possibly any POSIX compliant system) and Jython. The module named "serial" automatically selects the appropriate backend. Features -------- - Same class based interface on all supported platforms. - Access to the port settings through Python properties. - Port numbering starts at zero, no need to know the platform dependent port name in the user program. - Port name can be specified if access through numbering is inappropriate. - Support for different bytesizes, stopbits, parity and flow control with RTS/CTS and/or Xon/Xoff. - Working with or without receive timeout, blocking or non-blocking. - File like API with "read" and "write" ("readline" etc. also supported). - The files in this package are 100% pure Python. They depend on non standard but common packages on Windows (win32all) and Jython (JavaComm). POSIX (Linux, BSD) uses only modules from the standard Python distribution). - The port is set up for binary transmission. No NULL byte stripping, CR-LF translation etc (which are many times enabled for POSIX). This makes this the module universally useful.

NEW YORK Carpenter Technology Corp. and U.S. Steel Corp. have finalized a formal cooperation agreement to develop a new "lightweighting" steel alloy for automotive applications.
Wyomissing, Pa.-based Carpenter said its Temper Tough specialized steel alloy could help automotive manufacturers meet Corporate Average Fuel Economy (Cafe) standards "by lightweighting vehicles through mass reduction."
The alloy is designed for use in flat-rolled automotive applications, although it was originally designed for the aerospace industry, Carpenter said.
Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel will develop the grade through its operational footprint.

Fortunately, the NME might be right on the money for once Arcade Fire are the real deal. But even though Neon Bible is a thoroughly satisfying follow-up to 2004's nearly flawless Funeral, the record is not without its weaknesses. At times, Neon Bible struggles mightily to shoulder the weight of Win Butler's grandiose vision. But for the most part, the album is a bigger, bolder and darker take on the same themes that dominated Funeral, moving beyond that record's self-absorbed histrionics into more universal territory.
The album kicks off on a bleak note with Black Mirror, a dense slice of the apocalyptic pop-rock that touches on all of Butler's favorite subjects: isolation, despair, loneliness, fear, etc. But as the song marches forward and builds on a rush of symphonic swoops and crashing guitars, the expected catharsis never comes. Instead, Arcade Fire hold back, and the song slowly fades out.
Butler keeps chanting about mirrors and bombs and black stuff, but, oddly enough, he's showing (relative) restraint. If the song were on Funeral, it would have exploded. But on Neon Bible, Arcade Fire want to brood, not celebrate, and on most cuts, they pull the plug on songs before they have the chance to detonate.
That's mostly a good thing. On the record's best cuts, like Keep the Car Running, Intervention and Black Wave/Black Vibration, a sophisticated, sexier Arcade Fire hit all the emotional highs of Funeral without any of the camp that bogged down some of their earlier work. Butler trades in his Bright Eyes-style warble for a Bruce Springsteen-style warble, and he manages to do it without sacrificing any of the emotional intensity that draws people to his voice.
Without the instrumental hysteria of Funeral to cover things up, Butler's voice and lyrics take center stage. Unfortunately, Butler's lyrics are still sort of clunky and awkward; they can never quite match the scope of his band's music. Like a lot of bands this year, The Hold Steady and The Killers included, Butler not only channels Springsteen vocally, but lyrically. (Antichrist Television Blues is pretty much the best song Bruce never wrote.) While Butler's phrasing, terse and focused, sheds Springsteen's more obnoxious lyrical excesses, he doesn't quite have the Boss' knack for poetry.
Lyrical clunkers aside, Neon Bible is generally a success, even if it's not quite the slam dunk the band's most ardent fans envisioned. A reworked No Cars Go and Ocean of Noise are appropriately cinematic in scope, while the title track is more emotionally intimate than anything on Funeral, save Haiti. On some level, every track is a minor success, even if the Holy Cow! moments are few and far between.
Still, I can't help but think that as promising as this record is, it might also point toward future disaster. A couple of weeks ago, I remarked to a friend of mine that sometimes I think every Arcade Fire song is just a variation on U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday. My friend told me I was on crack, but I think the comparison is valid; the only thing that separates U2 from Arcade Fire is the nebulous notion of authenticity. For whatever reason, Arcade Fire are perceived as authentic, while the universalist pap Bono's been shilling for the past decade or so is met with heavy skepticism.
It's unfair to Arcade Fire to assume that they'll follow the same career trajectory as U2, but I think the reason people are so excited about this band is because Arcade Fire are not afraid of fame, success and universal appeal. They write big songs with big hooks, they smash guitars, they make audiences scream, shout, sweat and pump fists. But whether or not Butler can toe the tenuous line between insincerity and authenticity remains to be seen. Frankly, Neon Bible is a holdover record. It's what comes next that will define Arcade Fire's career.

Book Description:
Believing that artistic expression can and does play an important role in changing the way we perceive our relation to the world we live in, art critic John Grande takes an in-depth look at the work of some very unusual environmental artists in the United States, Canada, and -Europe.Dealing with everything from materials to the politics of curatorship, from the permanence of art works to the artist's role as cultural critic, Balance Art and Nature takes theory into action as it critically examines the works of Anish Kapoor, Antony Gormley, Armand Vaillancourt, Bill Reid, Carl Beam, Kevin Kelly, Ana Mendieta, James Carl, Patrick Dougherty, Keith Haring, and others. What emerges is a viable socio-environmental framework for evaluating contemporary art and insights into art's actual and potential roles."Grande's commentaries represent an important contribution to the theory of art."—Claude Lévi-Strauss"A call to reawaken creativity in this time of alienation."—Antony Gormley"Encourages us to rethink what it means to be an artist in a time of global eco-crisis."—Suzi Gablik, The Re-enchantment of Art"Makes unexpected connections giving new insights into contemporary art."—Public Art Review"Grande's book contains a lot of ideas, all of which are thought-provoking."—Globe and Mail"Details makes this book convincing."—Books In Canada"Grande's ideas and style are fresh, sincere, intuitive, lively and compelling."—Journal of Comparative Literature and Aesthetics"Offers interesting parallels between different aspects of public art."—Espace SculpturWriter and art critic John Grande's reviews and feature -articles have been published in art magazines and catalogues internationally. He is author of Intertwining: Landscape, Technology, Issues, Artists (Black Rose Books), Nils-Udo: Art with Nature (Wienand Verlag), and Art Nature Dialogues (SUNY Press).

Even the 15-minute windows are unreliable with signal strength rising as the orbiter moves overhead and falling as it regains the horizon, says Devereaux. "We get a lot of junky links until the orbiter is straight above, so on the newer Reconnaissance Orbiter we use adaptive data rates where the orbiter monitors the signal strength and can tell the rover to speed up or slow down its transmission." The aim is to get the absolute most out of 15 minutes, and NASA is starting very slow in order to optimize and capture the most important information cleanly.

I came to Dr. Abbett with severe dental anxiety. I had avoided dentists most of my life, except when absolutely necessary. She was absolutely the kindest doctor I've ever been to. Mark, the hygenist was was marvelous. The staff is the most friendly and professional I've encountered. I simply cannot thank them enough. I can honestly say I won't be avoiding the dentist ever again.

Celebrity wines have proliferated in recent years. In fact, so has celebrity everything from books to cookware. We are in the era of the brand extension!
So it was no surprise to see headlines this spring that the revamped Chateau Miraval rosé, from the provencal estate of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, had "sold out to the trade in five hours." The subtext was that the Brangelina rosé was going to be hot and you would be lucky to get some.
Yet in the past couple of weeks, I've seen the wine on store shelves, wine.com just pushed it today in an email, and one store even had it on closeout. What gives? Dry rosé is such a hot category, Brangelina's star power is en fuego, the Perrin family of Beaucastel is involved in the production, and the $25 wine has distinctive packaging so it really seems logical that wine would have told out quickly. But it hasn't "Gone in 60 Seconds." Watch for their names to appear in bigger font for the 2013 vintage.
Media outlets are reporting that Jennifer Aniston has installed a 1,600-square foot wine cellar in her Bel Air home for $3.2 million. She and her fiance Justin Theroux apparently delayed their wedding to complete a total of $12 million of renovations on the home that she purchased two years ago for $21 million. Oh, the house has a small vineyard on the 3.5 acres.
The above image from her previous home would now be the emergency wine storage area.
But, don't worry, even though Aniston is clearly into wine, she might just get a little bit bored of it sometimes. Since she "loves Mexican food" they've installed a "margarita fountain," which is described as a "special machine for mixing drinks that looks like a water feature." Come on, where's the Petrus fountain??
One wine that likely won't be in the spacious cellar: the Brangelina rosé.
"Inside Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux's $22 million Bel Air mansion" Adelaidenow.com.au
Drew Barrymore, wine curator, comments on her wine label to KSBW:
"I love pinot grigio. I've been a pinot grigio drinker most of my life–after 21, of course."
"It has beautiful notes and it is lacking in acidity but full of fruit."
"Women love rosé and pinot grigio and sauvignon blanc. And we like to put ice in it."
Discuss! Here's a reaction from Twitter to kick things off: "she threw all the ladiezzz tasting wine back by about 20 years."

The government and the moneyed elite (i.e., capitalists) work hand-in-hand.
If banks rob the people, they are given a slap on the wrist and told to better 'regulate' their own behavior in the future; but if a person robs a bank, they will be locked up in prison for years and their future ruined. (For instance, see this recent example of such class inequality in the administration of 'justice').
I mean, can you imagine government lawyers giving this kind of free-pass to any other social group? For instance, if district attorneys went to the ghettos of America and told the poor, Black people living there, "Hey, we're going to pull all the police out of your neighborhood; ya know, stop all the harassment, intimidation, and racial profiling, and all that. Instead, we're just asking that you simply reach out and inform us yourselves if you're involved in any wrongdoing that we should know about. 'Kay thanks."
As the financial storm brewed in the summer of 2008 and institutions feared for their survival, a bit of good news bubbled through large banks and the law firms that defend them.
Federal prosecutors officially adopted new guidelines about charging corporations with crimes — a softer approach that, longtime white-collar lawyers and former federal prosecutors say, helps explain the dearth of criminal cases despite a raft of inquiries into the financial crisis.
Though little noticed outside legal circles, the guidelines were welcomed by firms representing banks. The Justice Department's directive, involving a process known as deferred prosecutions, signaled "an important step away from the more aggressive prosecutorial practices seen in some cases under their predecessors," Sullivan & Cromwell, a prominent Wall Street law firm, told clients in a memo that September.
But this approach, critics maintain, runs the risk of letting companies off too easily.
"If you do not punish crimes, there's really no reason they won't happen again," said Mary Ramirez, a professor at Washburn University School of Law and a former assistant United States attorney. "I worry and so do a lot of economists that we have created no disincentives for committing fraud or white-collar crime, in particular in the financial space."
This "outsourcing" of investigations — as some lawyers call it — has led to increased coziness between the government and companies, some critics say.
"Traditionally, a bank would tell the Department of Justice when an employee engaged in crimes, but what do you do when the bank itself is run by a criminal enterprise?" said Solomon L. Wisenberg, former chief of the financial institutions fraud unit for the United States attorney in the Western District of Texas in the early 1990s. "You have to be able to investigate without just waiting for the bank to give you the referral. The people running the institutions are not going to come to the D.O.J. and tell them about themselves."

Topic - Sleeping in car - battery life/charging stuff
Ben Sharp - on 15 Mar 2013
On a tangent from SARS thread about sleeping in his SUV, when sleeping in the car I'm always paranoid about depleting the car battery and was wondering if any mechanically minded folk could give me an idea of how much it takes to drain a car battery.
I know it's a bit of a "length of string" type question probably dependent on how big your battery is, how cold it is, how new it is and obviously presuming it's fully charged but for example, how long could you have your stereo on before the battery was too weak to start the car?
I've toyed with the idea of getting a converter for the cig lighter to charge a laptop etc. Would it be a case of only using it while the car was being driven or would the battery be able to cope with it while the car was off.
Also, I've heard conflicting theories about how the alternator charges the battery. Is there a difference between how much it is charged while the car is stationary and while it is being driven?

In Season 1, Gumball's Brain looks like a typical animated brain with big dark blue eyes, eyebrows, two thin arms and legs, and a mouth. Meanwhile in Season 2, he is redesigned to look like a normal brain in "The Bumpkin."

- Although it is Gumball's brain, Gumball was able to think without it. It also seems that Gumball is more intelligent than his own brain as he was "teaching" it how to be smart.
- Anais thought that his brain would be smaller due to Gumball being very dumb, even though it has been proven that brain size is not related to intelligence.
- He appeared to be much bigger in "The Bumpkin."
- A similar brain wearing a hat can be seen in "Halloween" at the house party.

Session Track: Weight ManagementDate: Wednesday, March 28, 2012; 12:40 – 1:40 p.m.
The May 2010 White House Childhood Obesity Task Force (COTF) plan outlines a national strategic plan to address the obesity epidemic involving individuals and organizations in the socio-ecological framework. The food industry has been identified as a contributing factor for public health problems due to its marketing approaches. Processors, advertisers, communicators, and policymakers who have been cited as culprits, are dedicated to significantly changing the public health landscape, and helping consumers make healthier choices. The panelists in this session will describe their organizations' initiatives to change the food marketing environment through research recommendations and new voluntary nutrition and marketing standards designed to improve consumer adherence to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Robert Post, Ph.D., Deputy Director, USDA Dr. Robert C. Post is the Deputy Director of USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP). As the senior administrative official in the Agency, he is an advisor to the Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services, representing the Department in all matters related to nutrition policy and guidance. The two primary objectives of CNPP are to advance and promote dietary guidance for all Americans, and to conduct applied research and analysis in nutrition and consumer economics. In this position, Dr. Post is responsible for overseeing the planning, development, review, and promotion of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the MyPyramid food guidance system, and programs including the Healthy Eating Index, the USDA Food Plans, and the cost of raising a child. He joined CNPP with more than 25 years of dedicated experience in creating innovative promotional and outreach programs that help Americans make small steps toward improved dietary behaviors where they shop, work, play, and prepare foods. Dr. Post holds a doctorate degree in Public Health.

The Women Of NCIS
LOS ANGELES — Being the only girls in the crime-fighting world of NCIS can be a bit daunting, but series stars Cote de Pablo and Pauley Perrette insist the familial atmosphere of the hit show — now filming its eighth season — keeps them from feeling left out.
In fact, de Pablo insists, the combination is just right. "It's very rare when you have a top-rated show and an international success like this," says the actress, who joined the cast in the third season. "If you were to take out any of these characters, you would be messing with the chemistry of the show."
Playing Ziva, a former Mossad agent, calls for more than a few stunts, and it's a part of the job that de Pablo relishes.
"Nothing gets me more pumped than a really good fight sequence," says de Pablo, who comes from a dancing background. "In dance, I always felt like I was never good enough because I couldn't get my leg high enough or whatever. But in fighting you can be dirtier. It's what I think most women secretly would love to do."
There are risks, of course. "At a certain point, you may get hurt," she says. "And you have to know that going into it. Certainly, I've had injuries. The simplest things are the ones that hurt you. I did one fall and my neck was basically shot for about two weeks."
Perrette's role as forensic specialist Abby isn't nearly as physical, but it instead calls for something of a mental workout. "I have probably four hours of studying to do tonight," she says. "The things that Abby has to say, there's no way to do that without studying. Because by the time I get to set, I've got props and things and microscopes and mass spectrometers and so many things to do that if you're not really super-prepared, I don't think there'd be any way you could play Abby. It's a lot."
Both actresses have found strong relationships to play off of with their male co-stars, especially with series.. More?

Why the dollar has to decline in the long term
The big joke back in 1995 was that soon there would be no US government bonds available for investment, given the country's consistent fiscal surplus. The situation is the reverse today. The debt to GDP ratio of the US has crossed 100 per cent and is expected to continue growing.
This has resulted in weakening the fundamentals of the dollar. The greenback is currently afloat mainly with the help of the huge and growing surpluses of emerging markets, especially Russia and China, which have been flowing into US dollar reserves over the last several decades. The surpluses generated by countries such as China from their exports also flow into US Treasuries. The foreign exchange reserves of other developed countries such as Japan also are, to a great extent, invested in US Government securities.
Till the mid-nineties the current account deficit (CAD) of the US was in the range of around $100 billion with minor variations over the years. However, with the emergence of China as a low-cost manufacturing hub, manufacturing shifted out of the US and into China. As a result, the CAD ballooned from $120 billion to over $850 billion by 2006.
CAD as a percentage of GDP increased from 2 to 9 per cent. However, most of the surpluses that were being generated by the exporters also continued to be ploughed back into the US in the form of capital flows for buying its government bonds. As a result, China today holds nearly $1.28 trillion and Japan $1.13 trillion worth of US government securities.
The more shocking piece of statistic is that the total outstanding debt of the US has moved up from $8.8 trillion in 2007 to $16.7 trillion today. Of this the US Federal Reserve holds just $2.1 trillion acquired via its Quantitative Easing operations.
But the CAD and the fiscal deficit together account for 10 per cent of the GDP. This essentially implies that the US needs a funding of nearly $1.5 trillion incrementally every year. It is in this backdrop that I believe that the direction of the US dollar has changed for the worse and we will now see a continuous decline in the dollar over the next several years. The arguments for such a decline are many.
Decline of Fear
A large part of the US dollar strength since the year 2008 has been due to fear among investors caused by various events such as the financial crisis, the Euro Zone crisis, expected hard landing in China and lastly the run on the currencies of high-CAD emerging economies. However, the worst of these crises are now behind us. Euro Zone has stabilised, there is unlikely to be a severe slowdown in China and the run on EM currencies appears to have halted, too.
Periodic fights
The position of the dollar as the reserve currency and US government debt as the risk-free benchmark has been established for several decades now. However the rapid deterioration in the US' fiscal position and the huge growth in government debt over the last five years have made it a highly indebted country.
The US has remained afloat despite a high CAD and deficit only due to the dollar's reserve currency status. Although there is no alternative today, there is likely to be a shift in the asset holding in currencies in the coming years. The current level of debt has become unsustainable for a country with a nominal GDP growth of 3-5 per cent. The tussle over the debt limit in such circumstances makes the debtor countries jittery. There is now a probability that as the confidence in Europe grows, there could be higher flows into Euro country bonds, given that they offer a higher yield, too.
No idea of Fed exit
The US Fed has expanded its balance sheet to a level where it is now holding $2.1 trillion of government bonds and over $1 trillion of mortgage-backed securities. These bond purchases have had the effect of keeping the cost of borrowing of the US government low and mortgage and general interest rates subdued.
A hint of an exit by the Fed from its bond-buying programme has already resulted in the yields on US gilts shooting up from 1.5 per cent to nearly 3 per cent. Given the level of US government borrowing, a 1 per cent increase in borrowing costs will increase fiscal deficit by over 1 per cent. A halt in balance sheet expansion and then contraction will create upward pressure on borrowing costs.
All these factors suggest that the dollar could be on a declining trend for the next several years. The fears of emerging currency declines post Fed tapering are vastly exaggerated. After the panic phase, I believe, the dollar will decline on a sustainable basis. The last wave of dollar decline resulted in the US Dollar Index falling from 120 in 2002 to 70 in 2008. The subsequent bounce-back saw it rise back to the 90 levels. The next level of decline should see the index move much below 70 levels.

Subaru WRX 2010-2013, A/C Condenser by Denso®, 1 Piece. When major A/C service is performed, replacement of the accumulator or receiver-drier is often recommended by leading service authorities. Like all its First Time Fit™ components, DENSO's accumulators and receiver-driers are manufactured to the most stringent factory standards to provide new-car performance and efficiency.
- Accumulators and Receiver-Driers built to high tolerance manufacturing ensures durability
- Solid construction supporting higher operating pressures on newer systems
- Accumulators and Receiver-Driers help to remove debris and moisture from the system
- Assures cold A/C temperatures on even the hottest days
- Promotes smoother, quieter A/C system operation
- Limits internal corrosion, extending A/C system life
While often overlooked in regular vehicle service, accumulators and receiver-driers play an important role in A/C operation. These components manage the flow of liquid and vapor refrigerant through the system, assuring maximum output and smooth, surge-free operation. DENSO's accumulators and receiver-driers also contain powerful desiccant packages to isolate harmful moisture from the system, protecting the internal components from corrosion, which can wear systems prematurely from the inside out and create costly leaks.110.32Brand: Denso Part Number: 477-0671 UPC: 042511204140
Denso factories are QS9000 and ISO9000 certified worldwide, just one of the many reasons why zero defects for parts produced in the millions is a reality for DENSO. A recipient of the prestigious Deming Award for quality in 1961, Denso spent over five decades perfecting technology and processes, a claim that few automotive manufacturers can make. Denso First Time Fit™ products — including A/C compressors, starters, alternators, oxygen sensors, ignition wire sets, fuel pumps, cabin air, oil and air filters, wiper blades and more — are products built and tested to OE-standard offered for the aftermarket by DENSO. Each of these products is precision-built for exact replacement so you don't have to worry about doing the same job twice.

This is a good place to learn and watch migrating birds. They showed us a hawk being held by a handler. I 'adopted' an owl. You get a picture of the animal and information about it. This is more of a 'donation,' but I like it. Beautiful location.
excellent birding venue and folks travel here from around the world.... ...bring binoculars....onsite bird counters helpful...excellent venue
This is on the skyline drive. One fall we were fortunate for them to be having a group their with a nature program.
This is a great place to watch raptors and other birds as they make their migration south. At times there are interpretive guides. The view is worth the drive up there any time of year.
Local friends took me here for a visit while in Duluth. It was a chilly day, but so glad we stopped. Several eagles were soaring around and we were lucky enough to be there as they were releasing a goshawk. I got some great photos, and learned a lot about the bird, as they told you much before the release....
We visited on a beautiful October day. They say on their website that you'll tend to see the most birds between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and that lined up with our experience. Things you should know if you're considering a trip:
1. If you just want to go to the overlook to look at the migrating birds, that's free....
Wish the weather had been better. The day before I went it was the perfect day with winds coming from the west. A lot of birds were spotted. The day I went it was foggy and the winds were from the east. I managed to see a hawk but the fog was to thick to identify it.
We came to Hawk Ridge at the perfect time. There were bird banding demonstrations were abel to see several hawks released back into their actual habitat. There were many experts there available to answer questions. September is the best time to visit the Observatory.
We came from California to experience Hawk Ridge and the timing was right. On the day we arrived, over 7,200 Broadwing Hawks were counted. A few flew close by, most were out over the lake.

Bob Kerrey released an ad today, attacking the state senator about a lawsuit from the 90's.
"The ad is over the top, it's outrageous, it's false," Republican Chairman Mark Fahleson said.
Nebraska's GOP leaders say this new ad is just not the truth.
Bob Kerrey says, in 1995, Deb Fischer's neighbors, the Kimes, let others use their land.
"Deb Fischer and her husband asked for that favor. They asked if they could let their cattle graze and cross on the Kime land," Kerrey said.
After they used the Kime land for some time, Kerrey says the Fischer's filed a suit against them—claiming the property was theirs by way of adverse possession.
In Nebraska, after someone solely occupies land for ten years, they can try to take ownership.
When Fischer took the Kimes to court, the judge ruled against her. The Kimes still had to pay $40,000 in legal fees.
"If your neighbor did this to you, would you want them representing you in the US Senate?" Kerrey asked today.
The Nebraska Republican Party says this is not as big a deal as Kerrey says it is. Chairman Mark Fahleson says it's a run of the mill boundary dispute because property lines are vague out west.
"The fact of the matter is—in America and in Nebraska, when people can't decide where property boundary is, you let an impartial decision maker, such as a court, make that decision. That's all that law suit is about."
The Kimes have since passed away. Fahleson says, since they're unable to speak on the issue, no one can hear their side.
"No one featured in the Bob Kerrey ad was a party to that law suit, they have no first hand knowledge regarding it," Fahleson said.
Kerrey did respond to the GOP's comment of it being a run of the mill boundary dispute, saying it was not.
He says it was a case of Fischer trying to seize land from an elderly couple.

Flickr Finds: Fil's Danish Modern Flat
It's often hard to find time to design around a television setup, but it's even harder to do it when all you have is a tiny flat to work with. However, our Australian comrade Filip has come to terms with both areas of hardship and created one of the most amazing spaces we've seen in a while. Check out his Flickr for more awesome!Flickr.

Could anyone remind me, how that leather chair is called again? I always forget to ask...
Are there "Look-A-Likes" to that chair, because it is probably very expensive...
Thanks in advance
I believe that's the Eames Lounge Chair... but I'm not sure what kind the main seating one is..
take a bunch of classics and put them together in a room and of course it'll look 'nice' but totally unimaginative.
This is an excellent example of why furniture needs to be carefully considered. In this case, buying furniture from "mid century modern" designers, does not create the mid century appeal.
Each piece would work better off by itself or with one other carefully chosen piece, than competing for attention.
Too many chefs.
They're the 670 chair and the 671 ottoman by the Eames .
Very well designed,elegant and one of the most comfortable chairs among the mid-century icons.
I have the original one sitting alone in the corner of our guest bedroom, it didn't fit anywhere in the living area(not that it fits in the guest room but I don't have any other place for it ..it's either there or in the garage)and didn't want to force it in niether the family nor the living just because it is the the Eames chair .Lately,I'm seeing it everywhere,maybe it is the right time to list mine @CL and buy a small upholstered chair for the guest room..something like Ikea's Karlstad chair.
Jennah, if its an authentic eames chair be aware that its worth a considerable sum, and make sure you get it valued before you sell.
hmmmm that's an interesting point about "too many chefs" . Now I see why it sometimes get a little 'dry' to see too many pieces at once. Does anyone know where the credenza (media stand of sorts) came from? I love that.
Jennah flip the Eames chair over and look for a Herman Miller furniture label... if it's there, you can probably sell it for a lot of cash or hold on to it as a valuable antique.
I have to disagree with a number of you. This is how to coordinate and use mid-century modern furniture tastefully. It is edited and cohesive. Sure there are a lot of iconic pieces but combined with the natural light, dark floors, and white walls, he successfully created a warm and inviting living space that looks high end. This could easily be an interior on Central Park West. I believe that is a Florence Knoll sofa. Many of the interiors on this site that have midcentury pieces look thrown together for the sake of owning iconic pieces without a point of view (e.g., apartmenttherapy / Roomarks: Inspirational Interiors Matthew 9.21.08). I love it. Well done.
Can someone identify the coffee table?
mikelay: The coffee table is designed by Isamu Noguchi. It can be found on a number of sites including highbrowfurniture.com and retromodern.com.
It's conventional good taste, which is either good or bad, depending on which half of the description ("conventional" or "good taste") seems more pertinent to you.
Who said "design is 80% opinion", the above comments some are valid some aren't taking into consideration the power of choice. The owner of this apartment obviously love's the classics most look original the Knoll style Sofa looks like a repro. interioraddict.com do a similar version which can be viewed in the London showroom. This company offer reproduction classic at a fraction of the licensed items.
Create, Enjoy be Inspired.

Molecular Testing - Biomarkers
Treatment failure for patients with neuroblastoma frequently occurs because tumor cells are able to survive and grow in bone marrow despite rigorous chemotherapy regimens. Currently, we are conducting research to determine whether a molecular test developed in our laboratory to measure the expression of five genes active in neuroblastoma (but which are inactive in normal bone marrow or blood cells) will help us to evaluate and predict treatment outcomes. My laboratory in The Saban Research Institute at Children's Hospital Los Angeles serves as the only nationwide resource dedicated to detecting neuroblastoma cells in bone marrow, blood, and in blood stem cell products.
Tumor Microenvironment and Chemotherapy
Very often, when cancer develops, normal cells in the cancer's microenvironment (surrounding blood vessels, connective tissues and white blood cells) can be tapped to actually promote the growth and spread of cancer cells. My research develops strategies that prevent macrophages, a kind of white blood cell, in the microenvironment from helping neuroblastoma cells grow and resist therapy. We have found that blocking the signals between macrophages and tumor cells renders the tumor cells more sensitive to chemotherapy.
Tumor Microenvironment and Immunotherapy
Our immunotherapy studies are based upon the concept that the immune system can eliminate cancer cells (Yin) or promote their growth (Yang). To eliminate neuroblastoma cells, we use antibodies to target tumor cells and seek to enhance this strategy with natural killer cells working together with the antibodies. For the best anti-tumor effect, it is important to suppress the tumor promoting activities of macrophages (Yang) in the microenvironment. Currently, we are testing two new immunotherapy approaches to determine whether they are helping in removing tumor cells that remain in the body even after high-dose chemotherapy has been administered.
Children's Hospital Los Angeles serves as the headquarters for a North American consortium of 15 pediatric cancer institutions (New Approaches to Neuroblastoma Therapy) dedicated to advancing treatment for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. In my role as Principal Investigator of the NCI-funded Program Project Grant that provides funding for the NANT consortium, I co-chair the Scientific Review Committee, which sets directions and reviews clinical trial proposals.
In collaboration with molecular biologists and clinical investigators, we made the seminal discovery that the MYCN oncogene, a cancer gene, in neuroblastoma tumors could be used to predict the chance of survival for a patient. This was the first time a human cancer gene was shown to predict outcome for patients.
Collaborating with laboratory and clinical investigators, we developed new strategies for treating children with high-risk neuroblastoma that utilizes high-dose chemotherapy followed by a vitamin A-like drug to kill small numbers of tumor cells that remain after chemotherapy. This strategy was shown in a nationwide study during the 1990s with the Children's Cancer Group to improve survival, and it became the "gold standard" for treating high-risk neuroblastoma worldwide.
We contributed to the development of antibody immunotherapy for neuroblastoma, which, when added to the above "gold standard" treatment, further improves survival of patients.
1. National Cancer Institute (NCI) Program Project Cancer Grant - $11 million
The five-year grant from the National Cancer Institute will allow laboratory and clinical investigators working together to study the underlying biology and to develop new therapies that target the cellular processes driving high-risk neuroblastoma.
Read full press release
2. National Cancer Institute Tumor Microenvironment Network - $2.5 million
This grant will support research conducted, in tandem with City of Hope, to investigate drug resistance in neuroblastoma.
3. National Cancer Institute R33 grant - $1.36 million
This award supports development and testing of a robust biomarker assay that simultaneously quantifies "tumor load" by expression of tumor cell genes and "microenvironment" by expression of normal marrow and blood cell genes (TaqMan® Low Density Array, TLDA). We anticipate that this TLDA assay will become an integral biomarker tool for evaluating response to new therapeutic strategies and for predicting outcome of children with high-risk neuroblastoma.
Generous support from donors and foundations often forms seed funding for research that demonstrates that a particular line of research would be fruitful for peer-reviewed support. I am grateful to have received support from my research through the generosity of:

Guy Martin on his way to victory at Oliver's Mount
By Gary Pinchin -
TT & road races
22 September 2009 12:35
There's something really, really cool, but really, really scary about spectating at Oliver's Mount, Scarborough.
Hanging over a fence made from 4x2 timber is all that separates you from touching road racing super-heroes like Guy Martin, Ian Hutchinson, John McGuinness, Ryan Farquhar and Ian Lougher.
You can look straight into their clear visors and see the whites of their eyes as they rush by on 200+bhp superbikes. Sensational.
And this year's Gold Cup was even better than ever. Not only was the weather perfect on both days, not only had Auto 66 boss Peter Hillby ensured one of the best line-ups in years for the Gold Cup – but thousands upon thousands of fans turned up to create an amazing atmosphere.
Hillaby was beside himself on Sunday, smirking from the huge success of his labours, stressing from trying to cram more and more cars into the hilltop fields.
Catching a word with the veteran race boss was so difficult as he marshalled his troops on the radio.
He reckoned he even had the army on standby with a Bailey Bridge – the plan being to drop it in place over the track so the fans could still park up while racing continued.
He reckoned he ditched the idea when the army said it would take an hour and half to get things in place.
I'm sure he was winding me up (but knowing the resourceful Hillaby he wasn't) , but the fact was, racing was delayed an hour because the huge number of fans still trying to get into the circuit had to drive on the track to access the overspill car-parking.
Hillaby claimed a 52,000 weekend figure. I wouldn't dispute it. The crowd was massive and no one went home disappointed.
Everyone's hero Guy Martin overcame a series of electronics issues to grab his seventh straight Gold Cup victory.
Ian Hutchinson pushed him every inch of the way. Ryan Farquhar gritted his teeth and tried to race with a busted hand.
Ian Lougher added to incredible win tally at the Mount – his 600 win and lap record obviously meaning more the the veteran than anything – at least that's how it looked when he beat his chest Tarzan-style with joy crossing the line!
William Dunlop showed great race-craft to beat Lougher in three other races. Michael Pearson upset the superstars with some impressive riding until his big crash in the Gold Cup.
Gary Johnson made an impressive on his own honda he races in National Superstock – that he rescued from a breaker's yard.
John McGuinness was in the thick of the 250 and 600 action, thoroughly enjoying himself as ever, hanging out in civvies chatting to fans between races. Even Neil Hodgson was there, just because he wanted to be there and enjoy a weekend of racing at a track he once race on.
It all proved that racing on the roads is as ever as popular. And long may it prosper.

re h2pots
the best ive seen it was the gold cup 50th anniversary. sheene, grant, reid, agostini, readman(sp?), fogarty all doing parade laps on some fantastic bits of kit. plus, i remember seeing some amazing displays by people like jefferies who sadly are no longer with us. i take my son becasue it's only a matter of time in todays world before it's stopped. thats why we need people to get behind the event.

olivers mount
agree with you cj... good to see some well deserved olivers mount press. great day sunday. i've been a regular at oli's for over 20 years and this weekends crowds were some some of the biggest i've seen. i remember the british championships at scarbrough.... lol... wonder how camier would fancy it now... best track on the mainland... same atmosphere as a roads meeting in ireland or isle of man....quality
22 September 2009 17:34
nice to see scarbrough getting some well deserved press!
as a regular i'd say to anyone who fancies it, don't wait for next years gold cup in september, try and get to the ian waston spring cup in april or the cock of the north in july. there's also classic race festival and the hill climbing events. the gold cup normally has the best or more recognised fields but the racing is always cracking.
next year is the 60th anniversary of the gold cup wand will be fantastic.

Are the Oscars really more out of touch than ever?
Box-office-wise, I mean.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has already grossed over $100 million, and Slumdog Millionaire could very well cross that line by tomorrow.
The last time two Best Picture nominees grossed over $100 million was four years ago, when The Aviator and Million Dollar Baby just barely crossed that line.
Of course, the other nominees that year were Ray ($75 million), Sideways ($71 million) and Finding Neverland ($51 million), whereas this year's also-rans -- Milk, The Reader and Frost/Nixon -- are all, at the moment, somewhere below $30 million.

Hey David, thanks for fvlogger. I was using it to debug some Flash/Javascript integration, then, just for the hell of it, hooked up our Flash tracing to a separate window with fvlogger in it using the Flash ExternalInterface calls. Brilliant.
We've had Flash debuggers inside Flash before… but at runtime they can't really handle the volume of debug info that can come out. Hell, even the Flash IDE has the poorest output log ever.
fvlogger was easy to get working.
Keep the great work going. The tips are really helpful, as are some of the discussions. Learnt a lot. Thank you.
