Gaffe may shortchange wounded vets
For more than five years, thousands of wounded and injured military reservists and National Guard troops nationwide might have lost medical benefits because of a Pentagon mistake, according to an investigation by Sen. Ron Wyden.
In a letter sent on Wednesday to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, the Oregon Democrat said that many wounded troops returning from Afghanistan and Iraq who ended up in Warrior Transition Units at military bases or in community-based programs near their homes lost up to six months of medical coverage that's provided to them under a 2005 law.
The Transition Assistance Management Program, or TAMP, was supposed to help personnel returning from active duty get the medical care they needed before their civilian coverage kicked in. The problem was that the Pentagon began counting the 180 days of coverage the moment the troops returned to the United States, not once they left active duty.
Those who needed extensive care in the Warrior Transition Units often exhausted their six months of benefits before they went home, according to Wyden. Pentagon paperwork leaked last year to the Tribune-Review showed that the typical reservist or Guard member will spend about a year in the special medical units, or longer if they're in a community-based program.
While many of those troops received federal medical insurance in retirement packages, others didn't. Neither Wyden nor the Pentagon can estimate exactly how many thousands lost out on the care they needed.
Wyden called on Gates to immediately revise the regulations, which affect reserve personnel in all the military branches.
"It is inexcusable that these servicemembers are being denied the benefits they have earned through their sacrifice," Wyden wrote.
Marine Corps Col. David C. Lapan, the chief Pentagon spokesman, said staffers were unaware of Wyden's letter but were looking into the findings.
Veterans service organizations, including the American Legion and Reserve Officers Association, expressed concern that troops might have been shortchanged.
"It is disheartening that the Pentagon sanctions a policy that deprives National Guard and reserve men and women (of) health care benefits from a country for which ... they have served and fought," said retired Navy Capt. Marshall Hanson, director of legislative services for the Reserve Officers Association.
"Legal technicalities are disrespecting our Guard and reserve heroes, and demonstrate, once again, there is not parity between the active and reserve serving member," he said.
The Trib reported in a three-day series in February about problems at many of the Army's Warrior Transition Units. To view the "Wounded Warriors" series, visit triblive.com .

Nordea Bank Seizes Korea Line Singapore Vessels to Recoup Debt
Nordea Bank AB's Singapore unit seized two vessels from Korea Line Corp.'s local subsidiary in a bid to recoup $64.9 million in debt.
Nordea Bank arrested the Blue Diamond ship yesterday and the Blue Coral earlier this month, the bank's lawyer Corina Song of Allen & Gledhill LLP, said by phone today. The ships were pledged as collateral for an $82 million loan in October 2006, the bank said in a March 17 lawsuit with the Singapore High Court.
"Due to a change in circumstances, the action is no longer necessary as we've arrested the Blue Diamond," Song said, referring to the suit.
Two of Korea Line's vessels were seized in Singapore, the ship operator said in an e-mailed response to Bloomberg News questions. It didn't comment on the lawsuit.
Korea Line, the country's second-biggest operator of dry-bulk ships has sought to bar creditors from seizing its assets. The Korean shipping line, seeking to restructure 2.23 trillion won ($2 billion) of debt, went into receivership in Seoul and filed for U.S. bankruptcy protection last month.
Korea Line posted losses in seven of the past eight reported quarters as it hired vessels on long-term contracts before a glut of new ships and slowing demand in China caused rates to tumble.
Three other vessels owned by the Singapore unit have been seized by other creditors in the U.S., according to Nordea's court filing.
The case is Nordea Bank Finland Plc, Singapore Branch v Korea Line (Singapore) Pte OS220/2011 in the Singapore High Court.

The former director of Gov. Mary Fallin's office in Tulsa claims the governor and her chief of staff broke state and federal law when they fired her in December.
Oklahoma governor, chief of staff named in wrongful termination lawsuit
Wendy Gregory, who directed the Tulsa office since January 2011, filed a lawsuit against Fallin and Denise Northrup in Oklahoma County on Thursday.
In the lawsuit, Gregory claims Northrup asked her to turn in her smartphone and keys two weeks before Christmas after Northrup learned of an IRS garnishment filed against Gregory.
Gregory said Northrup terminated her over the phone, did not give her a chance to explain the situation, and that the garnishment was later cleared.
Tulsa attorney Tony Mareshie, who is representing Gregory, said the garnishment concerned a child custody dispute from a previous marriage.
Alex Weintz, spokesman for Fallin's office, said the office had not been served with the lawsuit. Weintz said he could not comment without reading it first.

I have been seeing Dr. Latimer for the past ten years for benign fibroadenomas. From day one he has always been been professional and very knowledgeable. He never makes you feel rushed and always takes the time to explain things so that you understand. He always gives you the facts with choices and never pressures you into doing anything your uncomfortable with. Most importantly he takes the time to make you feel cared for and that you are in good hands. I went to three different surgeons before finding him and I would recommend him a 100 times over!

(PHILADELPHIA) Scientists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson in Philadelphia have discovered new molecular evidence of the role of the hormone prolactin in breast cancer. They have found that prolactin, a pituitary hormone that normally stimulates breast development and milk production, initiates a new signaling pathway that may regulate the growth and survival of breast cancer cells.
The work, which appears this month in the journal Molecular Endocrinology, identifies the protein Jak1 as playing a key part in prolactin signaling in breast cancer. Jak1, which belongs to the cell growth-promoting tyrosine kinase class of enzymes, could represent a new drug target for treating breast cancer.
In breast cancer cells, we found that Jak1 not only stimulates conventional prolactin signaling via proteins such as Stat5, but also that Jak1 recruited new signals, especially Stat3 and ERK, says Hallgeir Rui, M.D., Ph.D., professor of Cancer Biology at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University and principal investigator of the study. Because Stat3 and ERK typically are considered tumor-promoting, inhibitors of Jak1 may become useful in breast cancer treatment.
Receptors for prolactin, have previously been shown to promote breast cancer cell growth, survival, and differentiation, Dr. Rui explains, through signaling pathways that involve activation of such proteins as Stat5, ERK, and Akt. Prolactin is also known toactivate Stat3, which has been implicated as an oncogene involved in cancer cell growth and survival. In the current study, when Jak1 protein expression was experimentally disrupted in breast cancer cells, prolactin signaling through Stat3 and ERK was completely blocked. Signaling through Stat5 and Akt was reduced but still present.
Until now, prolactin was believed to signal only through Jak2 to mediate its effects, says Lynn Neilson, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Cancer Biology at

Samuel Gregg, Director of Research at the Acton Institute, joins host Al Kresta on Ave Maria Radio's Kresta in the Afternoon to discuss the level of discomfort that some conservative Catholics have felt in recent months with the pontificate of Pope Francis. Is the pope a liberal, as he is sometimes portrayed by the media? Does he hold to longstanding teachings of the Catholic Church? Gregg and Kresta address these and other issues, and take calls from listeners in this half-hour long interview.
In the latest edition of First Things, Acton's Director of Research Sam Gregg discusses how adherence to Catholic social teaching does not require a limited economic viewpoint. In fact, such a limited vision, or blindness as Gregg states in the article's title, is what holds back development in many parts of the world. (Please note that the full article is available by subscription only, but is excerpted here.)
Gregg recounts how the aggressive or "Tiger" economies of East Asia have resulted in positive changes, despite problems such as endemic corruption.
To be sure, not everything is sweetness and light in East Asia. Memories of the region's severe financial meltdown in 1997 linger. More ominously, China's mammoth banking system is a hopelessly run extension of its government. The same banks are heavily and rather incestuously invested in propping up thousands of underperforming Chinese state-owned enterprises. That's a recipe for trouble. Corruption remains an endemic problem, most notably in China and India, which rank an unimpressive 96 and 134, respectively, in the World Bank's 2014 Ease ofDoing BusinessIndex, while Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand are ranked in the top twenty.
Nonetheless, the overall benefits of greater economic liberty in East Asia can't be denied. In 2010, the Asian Development Bank reported that per capita GDP increased 6 percent each year in developing Asian countries between 1990 and 2008. Christians should especially consider how this growth has contributed to the reduction of poverty. The ADB estimated that between 1990 and 2005 approximately 850 million people escaped absolute poverty. That is an astonishing figure.
Writing in The Detroit News, Rev. Robert A. Sirico looks at Pope Francis' recent Apostolic Exhortation, the "much talked about, but little-read" document titled "The Joy of the Gospel" with a special emphasis on how the pontiff understands the problem of poverty. The president and co-founder of the Acton Institute notes how Francis "speaks boldly through effective and moving gestures." Excerpt:
It is no surprise that the man who took as his model and name the model of il poverello of Assisi would place the poor as a central concern of his pontificate: their dignity, their rights and their sustenance. Yet, the spontaneous gestures and the impromptu manner in which they are displayed ought not to beguile us into thinking this pope is offering a superficial dichotomy between left and right; between capitalism and socialism. To think that any pope, but especially this pope, is animated in his concern for the poor and vulnerable by a particular political ideology is to miss him completely.
While renouncing the notion that the market alone is sufficient to meet all human needs, Francis is also prepared to denounce a "welfare mentality" that creates a dependency on the part of the poor and reduces the Church to the role of being just another bureaucratic NGO. The complexity of his thought surprises some, on both the Right (some of whom worry, needlessly, that he is a liberation theologian) and the Left (who are already using his words to foment a political "Francis Revolution" in his name). Such tendencies reveal a rather anemic understanding of this man but also of Catholicism, which has historically been comfortable balancing the tensions of apparent paradoxes (Divine/human; Virgin/Mother; etc.). It is too facile a temptation to collapse 2,000 years of tradition, commentary and lived experience into four or five politically-correct hot button sound bites that are the priority, not of the Church, but of propagandists with an agenda.
Read "Pope Francis, without the politics" by Rev. Robert A. Sirico in The Detroit News.
At National Review Online, Acton's Director of Research Samuel Gregg asks the question, "Is Pope Francis a closet liberation theologian?"
So is Pope Francis a closet liberation theologian, or someone with strong sympathies for the school of thought? It's a question that's been raised many times since Jorge Mario Bergoglio's election to the papacy in March. Most recently, the New York Times weighed in on the subject. While discussing the tone adopted by Bergoglio since becoming pope, the NYT article claimed that Francis has "an affinity for liberation theology." "Francis's speeches," the article argues, "draw clearly on the themes of liberation theology." It also suggested that "Francis studied with an Argentine Jesuit priest who was a proponent of liberation theology."
I'm afraid, however, that if one looks at Francis's pre-pontifical writings, a rather different picture emerges. Certainly Bergoglio is a man who has always been concerned about those in genuine material need. But orthodox Christianity didn't need to wait for liberation theology in order to articulate deep concern for the materially poor and to remind those with power and resources that they have concrete obligations to the less fortunate. From the very beginning, it was a message that pervaded the Gospels and the Church's subsequent life.
Gregg goes on to point out that Pope Francis is no fan of "contemporary capitalism," but that does not in turn make him a liberation theologian. Instead, it is likely that Pope Francis speaks to the Church rooted in "a teología del pueblo (theology of the people)."
Read "Pope Francis and Liberation Theology" at National Review Online.
Michael Severance, operations manager of the Istituto Acton in Rome, recently wrote an article for the World Catholic Report explaining why Pope Francis was a historic choice and examining what we can expect from his papacy.
He points out that "this past week proved a historic week of firsts:"
We now have the first Jesuit pope. And the first pope named Francis. He is the first non-European pope since Gregory III, an eighth-century Syrian. And we now have the very first pope from the Americas.
We have also witnessed a pope who is shunning what some critics perceive as Vatican tinsel and niceties during these economic hard times.
Francis has refused to ride in the pope's private car (preferring the shuttle bus) or to wear red shoes and a fur-lined cape, or mozzetta, opting for ordinary black shoes and a white cassock.
This is the first time in a very long while that we have listened to a pope who readily quips in public and frequently includes off-script interjections to prepared remarks—at his first Mass with his brother cardinals, then a second time during his first press conference with journalists on Saturday, then a third time during his Sunday sermon at the Vatican parish of St. Anne, and again only a few hours later at his noontime Angelus, when he preached from his apartment above St. Peter's Square. Not even John Paul II was at such ease with humor and his own words so early on in his pontificate.
Since Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio was somewhat unknown before he was elected Pope, Severance has compiled a brief profile of Pope Francis, focusing the pope as a pastor, thinker, and advocate for the poor. (more…)
Acton Institute President Rev. Robert A. Sirico has been in Rome all week for the Papal Conclave, and joined host Hugh Hewitt on The Hugh Hewitt Show yesterday afternoon to discuss the new pontificate of Pope Francis. What kind of a man is Pope Francis? What will his priorities be for his pontificate? What is his view on markets? All these questions and more are explored in the conversation.
Listen to the full interview here:
Director of the Istituto Acton in Rome, Kishore Jayabalan, and Acton Director of Research, Samuel Gregg, were recently featured on Ave Maria's Al Kresta in the Afternoon to discuss the selection of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Buenos Aires as Pope Francis.
Jayabalan was in St. Peter's Square for the announcement and he says that the mood in Rome was quite different than it was in 2005. Despite the thousands of people in the square, it was very quiet; most people were very surprised by the selection. Kresta points out that Bergoglio "understands the importance of identifying with the people" and Jayabalan believes that the new pope will get "back to the basics of Christianity" and "recover the true spirit of Christianity."
Listen to the full interview here:
Gregg was also in the middle of the action in Rome. He describes Bergoglio as "simple," "very spiritual," and a "solid theologian."
Listen to his comments here:
Please note that the clip does not end prematurely; Gregg did not return to the show after the break.
Yesterday, Cardinals choose Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina to be the new pope. A The Detroit News editorial points out that "[t]hirty-nine percent of the world's Catholics live in Latin America, making this pope a fitting choice for many Catholics."
Countries with the largest number of Catholics include Brazil, Mexico, the Philippines and U.S. One hundred years ago, that landscape was shifted toward Europe, with France and Italy housing the greatest number.
The Detroit News asked Acton Research Fellow Michael Miller to comment on Bergoglio's selection:
the choice of Bergoglio came as a surprise to many. But [Miller is] confident the new pope will offer continuity by preserving the strong intellectual tradition carried by Benedict XVI and John Paul II while upholding personal holiness.
Plus, Miller believes Bergoglio's choice of the name Francis is symbolic of the kind of leader he'll be. The name could refer to several Catholic saints, including Francis Xavier and Francis of Assisi. Between these saints, they advocated church reform, deep concern for the poor and evangelization. Bergoglio's own background revolves around social justice and working with the marginalized.
The church needs a leader who can wear many hats, from bringing people to the faith to cleaning up problems both inside and outside the Vatican. Bergoglio has accepted the role with humility and seems ready to begin.
Early today, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, Argentina was elected as the 266th pope of the Catholic Church. Here are nine things you should know about Pope Francis.
1. Bergoglio was born in Buenos Aires in 1936. His father was an Italian immigrant.
2. He's the first pope from South America. The only remaining continents that have never had a pope come from their lands are Australia, Antarctica, and North America.
3. He's the first Jesuit pope.
4. He only has one lung. His other lung was removed due to infection when he was a teenager.
5. Bergoglio is known for his personal simplicity. In Argentina he lived in a simple apartment rather than the archbishop's palace, cooked his own meals, and gave up his chauffeured limousine in favor of taking the bus to work.
Michael Severance, operations manager of Acton's Rome office, is asking the question on everyone's mind, "Who will be pope #266?" In The Catholic World Report, Severance makes note of the "amateur assessments" first:
By now we have heard every hypothesis from scores of budget-pinching and rookie mass media stumbling on Piazza San Pietro's uneven cobblestones. They multitask as correspondent-producer-fixers and are armed with the latest generation of smartphones, tablets, and other species of espresso-stained electronic gadgets that replace expensive backroom media techs.
You wonder when they have time to actually research their cases, much less post and broadcast their news. But indeed time—moltissimo tempo—they have had.
They have spoken of the "Bergoglio comeback" (apparently he was a runner-up in 2005) and the mightily leveraged "Italian block" that will surely vote in one of their own to fill a 35-year power vacuum.
They have analyzed and lobbied for non-traditional but surely viable candidates from Latin America (Cardinal Scherer of Brazil), Africa (Cardinal Turkson of Ghana), and Asia (the "baby" 54-year-old Cardinal Tagle of the Philippines).
Severance, however, believes that there are more serious contenders. He interviewed several people with above-average insight into the conclave: (more…)

The lead author of the study, Dr Nicoline Hoogerbrugge, associate professor and head of the Hereditary Cancer Clinic, said: When we looked at the positive MRI results, we found that 83 per cent of them could not be confirmed histologically and were, therefore, false positives: five out of every six positive MRI scans.
The researchers also found that approximately six per cent of the BRCA mutation carriers who had normal findings from their clinical surveillance, mammograms and MRIs, and who underwent an intended prophylactic mastectomy, had an unsuspected malignancy. One was only four millimetres in size and it is known that MRI and mammograms have difficulty detecting lesions this small, but three were DCIS between six and 15mm. This indicates that further improvement of early breast cancer detection is still necessary, said Dr Hoogerbrugge.
When interviewed during their first surveillance visit, 58 women (30 per cent) expressed a preference for a prophylactic mastectomy. Three had no preference, and the rest preferred to have ongoing surveillance. After some of these women had a positive scan, mastectomy was carried out in 90 per cent of those women who had expressed a preference for it, and in only 31 per cent of those who had preferred surveillance.
Dr Hoogerbrugge said: During the first two years after the establishment of a BRCA mutation, four out of every ten female carriers were confronted with an abnormal MRI or mammography result, but this had a limited impact on their choice for prophylactic mastectomy. The final decision to actually undergo prophylactic mastectomy appeared to be determined more frequently by a womans prior preference than by a positive scan. Significantly more women with a prior pr

Occupation in the Environment: A Student's Perspective
Mason, Julia, Reed, Kirk, New Zealand Journal of Occupational Therapy
The aim of this article is not to detail the full scope of an environmental analysis, but to provide an introduction to the application of conceptual underpinnings in a student learning experience. To that end the physical, social, institutional, and cultural environments of a forty nine year old bank employee are analysed to gain insight into their integrative impact on occupational performance.
The dynamic relationship between persons, environments, and occupation is well known to occupational therapists (Law, Cooper, Strong, Stewart, Rigby, & Letts, 1996), as is the fact that "Changes in any of these areas will influence a person's performance in, and satisfaction with, their occupations" (Law, Polatajko, Baptiste, & Townsend, 2002, p. 30). To learn more of this relationship, an occupational therapy student undertook this analysis as a component of the year one BHSc (Occupational Therapy) curriculum at AUT University.
After gaining informed consent, the student interviewed Rachel (pseudonym), who works in a New Zealand bank. Rachel's work environment was analysed using a conceptual framework and practice models which acknowledge the interaction between a person and their environment. These included The Canadian Model of Occupational Performance (CMOP) (Law, Polatajko, Baptiste, & Townsend, 2002), the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) (World Health Organisation [WHO], 2001), the Person-Environment-Occupation (PEO) Model (Law, 1991) and the Occupational Performance Process Model (OPPM) (Fearing, Law, & Clarke, 1997).
The CMOP views the individual within their unique context and recognises the impact of this context on the person's participation and occupational performance. In particular, the environment is viewed as extending beyond one's proximal surroundings to encompass physical, social, institutional and cultural domains. Pertinent aspects of these domains are recognised as environmental conditions contributing to occupational performance issues (OPIs) in stage 3 of the OPPM, and as resources for resolving these OPIs in stage 4 (Fearing et al., 1997). Similar to the PEO model, the CMOP assumes changes in any aspect of the person-environment-occupation dynamic may alter occupational performance. In this way a person's environment may facilitate or hinder performance (O'Brien, Dyck, Caron, & Mortenson, 2002). The domains used for the analysis are those depicted in the outer layer of the CMOP, and reflect the environmental factors of the ICF. This classification of environmental features and elements includes products and technology, natural and human changes to the environment, support and relationships, attitudes and services, and systems and policies (Stark & Sanford, 2005).
Literature review
When researching environmental analysis, few examples that articulated the application of practice models in relation to the environment were found. Authors such as Pierce (2003), Hamilton (2004), and Kielhofner (2003) explored the environment's impact on people and occupation separately, they did not link examples to the dynamic person, environment, and occupation (PEO) relationship. Conversely, Law, Polatajko, Baptiste, & Townsend, (2002) and Reed and Sanderson (1999) discussed the PEO model, but did not demonstrate its application. Reed and Sanderson stated that "because this model is new, specific assessments have not yet been developed" (p. 270). Alternatively, work by O'Brien, Dyck, Caron, and Mortenson (2002), as well as Rigby and Letts (2003) ; and Stark and Sanford (2005) described the PEO model and related it to a limited number of case examples. However, there was a lack of diversity in the literature, with a predominant focus on disability rather than a wide variety of occupations or occupations performed by healthy people. These gaps in the existing literature enabled an exploratory approach when analysing a bank environment. …

Kelly Boen reached a significant milestone last weekend, winning his 50th career National Championship Racing Association Late Model Series race at Thunder Hill Speedway in Mayetta, Kan.
The dirt-track standout from Henderson is the first NCRA driver to get 50 wins, and the only late models competitor with more than 25. The NCRA also includes national sprint car and modified divisions.
"It was a big deal when I won No. 25 because Larry Phillips was the leader in series wins at the time, with 24," Boen said. "Passing him was pretty cool. After that, I didn't see the next milestone for a while. When I was approaching 50, I became really excited. Nobody has won 50 races in any NRCA classes, so it's something I'm going to enjoy. I remember vividly when I won my first NCRA race, and that was special, and at the time, I really never thought I'd win one."
In 14 races this year, Boen has seven wins and 10 top-five results. He has finished outside the top 10 just twice.
Boen, 46, won NCRA crowns in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. Despite winning 12 of 17 races last year, he finished second behind Kyle Berck of Marquette, Neb. Boen would have won his fifth straight title if he hadn't missed a race.
"I've been at this a long time, and I'm still as passionate about it as ever," Boen said. "I'm starting to see the end; I can't do this forever, but I'm still enjoying it and putting my best foot forward.
"This year, I'm leading the points, and as long as I can keep consistent and run clean, I should have a good shot at the championship. It's been a good year. I've had a lot of fun, and that's the most important thing for me."
Boen used to race regularly at Rocky Mountain National Speedway in Commerce City. The track closed in 2005 to make room for residential development.
"I can't remember the last time I raced in Colorado. It's kind of sad," said Boen, who runs a welding and fabrication business in Denver. "If you want to race (dirt late models), you have to get in your truck and drive away."
The NCRA late models compete at tracks in Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa. Boen is accustomed to the travel.
"I still enjoy it more than ever," he said. "I got to believe I'll be at it several more years, assuming the financial part of it remains good and the world keeps going in the right direction."
Colorado National Speedway has added late models and sportsmen to its lineup on Saturday, making it an all-stock car affair at the paved oval. Pro trucks, figure-8s and legends also are on the card. . . . Regan Smith, the Sprint Cup driver for Denver-based Furniture Row Racing, has a career-best qualifying position of fourth, achieved three times, including at Pocono Raceway in 2008 when he was with Dale Earnhardt Inc. Pocono is host to this weekend's Cup race. "Right now, we would take a starting position of fourth," Smith said. "We have the horsepower. It's just a matter of making it all come together when it counts. The good news for all of us at Furniture Row Racing is that we can't wait to get back to the track because we all feel that we're close to that breakout race."

Rated 5 out of 5�by Larry7830 3-Hybrid with pop Just received #3-Hybrid to fill out my new set of Callaway X2-Hot woods/irons. Got out to the driving range for a test run. Was that fun!! Ball jumped off the club with good high trajectory. Consistently hitting in the 200-210 yard range, a gap I had been looking for. Can't wait to get out on the course! August 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by EBFinster Good alternative This club is a good alternative to a long iron or a 5 or 7 wood. Much easier to get up in the air than a long iron. With a shorter hybrid shaft I feel like I have better control and can still go at it aggressively. I have this along with the X2 Hot 3 wood and they make a great combination. Compared to a number of other hybrids I've had this is the best so far. August 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Stilllongat61 Much longer than expected! Had played the X2 Hot driver and 3-wood in the past but replaced them both with a newer model Callaway last Fall. Recently put the 3-wood back in my bag because it was actually longer than the newer model. Replaced a RAZR 3-hybrid with the X2 Hot 3-Hybrid and was amazed at the difference. Actually hit it as far as my 3-wood (230 yards) and it is very solid feeling at impact. Took the 3-wood out of my bag and purchased a X2 Hot 2-wood. Very impressed with all the Callaway X2 Hot clubs. August 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by mac X2 Hybrid I have used the club on two outings and have been amazed at distance and ease of making good contact.. Best hybrid I have in my bag and easiest to hit with good distance and straight. August 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by GlennO Great club! Exactly what I wanted.Feel very comfortable with this club. July 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by DrewBtown The perfect club! This hybrid will let you hit over 200 yards!!! I'm not as strong as I was in high school. This club will help you all around. The club will let you get to almost all par 4's in two strokes. In other words the perfect club. June 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Cleggj Awesome Addition To My Set! I purchased the 3 and 4 hybrid of the X2 Hot set and I LOVE these two clubs! The head is a little heavy, which I like and they hit extremely solid. I'm hitting the 3 hybrid around 220 and the 4 around 210 yds. I've played 4 rounds so far and have only mis-hit a few times, but hey, that's all me. They're great looking an playing clubs and come with the head covers. I HIGHLY recommend these clubs. June 23, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by killer do not like the 5 hybrid Have a x2 3 hybrid and it is great, long and straight. The 5 x2 hybrid feel like a dead club. It has no carry or feel. Very disappointed in the five compared to the 3 hybrid. I currently play Cobra hybrids and the x2 3 hybrid is a good club longer than the Cobra 3. The x2 hybrid is a good club shorter than the Cobra 5 hybrid. Have played three rounds with the x2 5 and plan on returning it. The club is not right. May 22, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by McV Not enough swings yet Just got the club and only used for two swings. One was a duff and the other was ripped down middle of the fairway. More rounds will determine satisfaction. May 3, 2015

Linus has seemed to have weathered many storms and has gathered some wisdom and perspective missing from his earliest pronouncements. This was one of the best
I agree. This is one of the better/most-on-topic things I've seen on
The headline is shocking when one consider the steep rise of cancer since 1945. If it was luck, then how it could change over time?
we need to be careful that we are comparing apples with apples when comparing cancer rates between different countries or time periods. We have higher rates of people reaching their 70s and 80s now. And in addition to increased longevity, we also (in developed countries at least) have a higher proportion of our populations being older.
This is why we use an "age standardised cancer incidence" rate, to account for differences in the population makeup.
I'm not sure if the age-adjusted rate is much difference between now and the 40s, but if it is then I would expect it to be largely based on the dramatic rates of tobacco use in the couple of decades after WW2.
Really Why? what content on Slashdot justify's the need for encrypted content? I really don't get this huge push for SSL everywhere. give me SSL when I need it, I don't want SSL for accessing a forum or a news site or just generally browsing the web.
since you have a slashdot account, I'm sure you don't mind your ISP, their transit provider, and slashdot's CDN seeing your password going over their network in cleartext when you log in.
Even if you use a throwaway password for sites like this (and I hope you do), don't you think it would be better to make a small change that has no effect on how end users interact with the site but somewhat increases their security?
given that tumour cells (for solid tumours) normally have defects in extra-cellular matrix related genes (eg genes in the collagen family are sometimes mutated in advanced gastric cancer) that help the tumour invade and spread through tissues, I wonder if using such a treatment increases the chances of either tumours forming, or tumours becoming higher grade/more serious more quickly...
I confess to being a bit baffled at how these power cord defects keep happening. Your basic AC power cord is ancient by the standards of electronic gizmos and by far the simplest thing going into a modern laptop.
recently we had a power cord melt and nearly start a fire in our server room while power maintenance was occurring (so power was only going to 1 PSU instead of both PSUs). Turns out the cables don't meet the appropriate standards (IEC 60950) despite being stamped with "10A".
The cross-section of the copper strands in the failed cable was smaller than that of a 'proper' cable. These cables were illegal, but are being imported from cheap manufacturers in China (obviously without testing to Western standards) and being sold at somewhat reputable stores. Beware of cables marked "PVC YOUZHI DIANXIAN 3x0.75mm2"
there's a version of REM's "What's the frequency Kenneth" recorded live where, near the end of the song, Michael Stipe deliberately replaces "I'll never understand the frequency" with "I'll never understand, don't f*ck with me" rather subtlely....
I don't know if ancient samples are processed differently, but for 'fresh' samples, the DNA gets broken up into small fragments (200-1000 base-pairs long), and then these fragments get sequenced. All bits of the genome have roughly even chance of getting sequenced, and with thousands or millions of copies of each fragment, you normally get reasonably even coverage over the whole genome.
The problem is when you map your sequences back onto a reference genome (ie the currently known chr1, chr2, chrX, etc). The aligning software will have trouble deciding where to place a fragment that is part of a highly repetitive sequence (like centromeres or telomeres) , or is duplicated several/many times (eg large gene families that have large sections of the genes in common, or pseudogenes that look like copies of other genes). In addition, we don't even know the exact sequence for some of these regions, so our reference human genome is contantly being updated (currently up to version 38).
For bioinformatics analysis, sometimes it is easier to sweep some of this under the rug. For example, some people use a reference genome that masks out the centromeres and telomeres (ie our reference sequence just has NNNNNNNNNNNN bases here, instead of As,Cs,Gs and Ts). Otherwise there are databases that list the regions containing repeated sequences or duplicated segments, so you can check any of your findings to make sure they aren't in a suspicious region.
That's generally what each country does to the companies operating inside it.
But here's the problem. Lets say an iPhone costs $400 to make, and sells retail for $1000. One Apple-related company pays $400 to get the phone made in china, and then sells the phone to Apple Ireland. Apple Ireland pays $450 to get the phone, then sells the phone for $995 to Apple Australia or Apple USA or whatever. Australia/USA can tax the profits of the local company, but the local company only made $5 per phone, and then used most of that for local expenses/advertising. Apple Ireland books most of the profit, and at a tax rate far less than other Western countries.
from what i remember the worker bees warned against a launch due to ice and whatever but the bosses said to launch
what if I told you that every single launch has had some worker bees who thought their part of their module wasn't up to scratch, or might not work in the current conditions, and voiced this opinion to their manager? People with an engineering mind-set don't like uncertainty....
I don't have any evidence that this is actually the case, but it seems likely when so many people are involved in a project.
Ever ask yourself why the merchant would spend money on this? I mean there's no risk to the merchant. If stuff is bought with a stolen credit card then the credit card company or the bank bears the risk.
No, it's the merchant who bears all the risk. If someone disputes a charge, the merchant's acquiring bank writes a friendly letter asking for proof of the card-holder's authorization, eg a signed receipt. If you can't offer evidence that it was authorized, then you get a chargeback (ie they deduct the purchase amount from your account) and you are out of the value of whatever you mailed out to the customer.
When we sold stuff online, obviously we don't get physical signatures, but normally we could convince the customer that they had made the purchase (normally they forgot, or didn't recognise our name on their credit card bill) and the customer cancelled the dispute.
Why would the bank voluntarily eat the loss for fraud/disputes?
I understood that the high mortality is because most pancreatic cancers are not detected until the cancer has already spread. At which point it usually has already mutated enough to pick up a number of tricks that make it harder to kill, and thus less responsive to chemotherapy.
most solid tumours in organs are like that... they are asymptomatic until they get to an advanced stage.
But in this case, 95% of pancreatic cancers are in the tissue around the pancreatic duct. The other 5% are in a different type of pancreatic tissue and aren't as aggressive, so if they are detected and removed then most patients survive.
That would seem to be the new HP tablet that looks like a BlackBerry PlayBook but with a worse display and camera. What has that got to do with Harvard seeming to have forgotten the difference between a university and a corporation?
Some years ago, HP's board of directors approved spying on some of their own top executives to try to find the source of a leak. "Playbook" was supposed to be a metaphor for "game plan", not a product name
The photo tour has one of the worst interfaces I've seen for viewing photos. Hiding half of the photo caption by default? Who comes up with this idiocy?
One small redeeming feature is that they haven't hijacked the right-click with a bloody Lightbox script.
it feels like the interface was designed to work on both big monitors and hand-held devices. Can't blame them for trying.
I presume that's related to this caption from the tape library photo:
"Unlike a real library, you can't check out anything, but if you try, we have a security team standing by"
"It doesn't much signify whom one marries for one is sure to find out next morning it was someone else." -- Rogers

The American Movie Industry: The Business of Motion Pictures
The American Movie Industry: The Business of Motion Pictures
These seventeen essays make up a history of the American film industry. Because film-making entails a special blend of economic and artistic endeavor, Kindem has chosen contributions from experts in a variety of fields- business, law, mass communications, and cinema studies.
The organization of this anthology is both chronological and topical. The first three parts of the book basically follow the history of the film industry's marketing strategies, structural changes, and product innovations: from exhibition in Kinetoscope arcades to film "acts" in vaudeville, Nickelodeons, and movie palaces; from states' rights marketing schemes to block booking and chain-store exhibition strategies; from a production and distribution monopoly based on the pooling of major patents to an oligopoly of produc tion, distribution, and exhibition firms; and from the rise of feature films, the star system, and the studio system to Hollywood's con versions to sound and color.
The fourth through sixth parts examine film regulation and censorship, film's inter action with television, and America's role in the international film industry. The diversity of methods and perspectives in this anthol ogy are representative of the field, suggesting that the history of the American film indus try is really a collection of histories, not a monolithic, single-strand chronology of events.

By employing the equation y = mx+b, we established the value of b to be equal to 0. Therefore, by setting the upper range value at 10,000 RFU using 10 l of 1 mg/ml calf thymus DNA and using 2 l of the sample DNA in 2 ml of the 1 g/ml Hoechst dye, the RFU reading is equal to ng/ml for our sample. We are then able to calculate the volume of DNA needed to obtain a 250 femtamolar concentration per reaction.
Results and Discussion
Using the Excel II sequencing kit (Epicenter) and quantifying our DNA with the VersaFluor fluorometer, we have been able to achieve highly readable and reproducible sequencing runs of up to 1,200 bp with the LiCor 4200 automated sequencer. This has enabled us to sequence the entire 2.2 Kb cDNA for Xenopus hypoxia inducible factor, xHIF, in several runs, and will allow us to sequence our genomic clone easily and efficiently.
The correct concentration of DNA in each reaction is the key to obtaining good reads on the LiCor 4200. This entails precise quantitation of the DNA. The VersaFluor fluorometer has proven to be easy to calibrate and provides excellent and reproducible results.

The internet has become ubiquitous because of its promise to change our lives. From the time that I set up my hotmail account in the 90's I believed that this was inevitable. Having being bitten by the bug early I have been fortunate enough to mould my career to understand the nuances of the online world. After having worked with some of the leading tech and telecom infrastructure companies in various roles, I felt it was time to answer my calling.
As an urban Indian parent, making an informed decision on critical infant-care/mother-care options represented one of the greatest challenges that Aru and I faced. We lost count of the number of times that we experienced inferior services and sub standard products. Being dogmatic and stubborn we inevitably ended up discarding what did not work, and buying new products or changing service providers. The experience made us realize that most young parents must be going through the same heartache.
Applying ourselves to make life happier for young parents in a similar situation made perfect sense to us. Thus babyoye was born. While bringing babyoye to life, I have chosen to think like a parent. Our intention is to enrich the parenting experience while taking care of the transactions. We have concentrated on:
Bringing you world-class products that are most likely to meet your expectations. The products that you can buy at babyoye have parents as loyal clientele across the globe. While we have taken utmost care in selecting products we understand that some may not suit you. We have a friendly returns policy in place that your bound to appreciate.
Since raising a child goes beyond buying simple products we have added a suite of services related to pregnancy and parenting that are part of your daily and special needs. You will be able to contact specialised service providers who can advise you on your diet, nutrition, exercise regimen, wellness amongst others. We have also bought together experts to help you plan and design your nursery for you, help you announce your baby and celebrate special occasions like baby showers, birthday parties and other events. All this is in your city!
Parenting is much easier when you are in a position to share your experience. We have integrated babyoye with most popular social media engines like Facebook and Twitter to allow to share your stories/preferences with your community.
I personally believe we have a lot to learn as parents and look forward to your feedback and suggestions to improve the site. If there are specific service issues that have caused any dissatisfaction, I am happy to hear from you personally. Please do write in to me at email@example.com
Thanks for using babyoye and HAPPY PARENTING!
The day I found our I was pregnant was perhaps one of the happiest moments in my life. Well at that time little did Sanjay and me know that we were entering a world of endless choices to be made ... selecting a doc, hospital, antenatal classes, yoga, nutritionists, making room for the baby at home, cribs, strollers, baby consumables, breast pumps, bathing solutions, towels, organic or not, diapers or cloth etc etc ...
Month 4 - Sanjay kept screaming at me ... we need to join an antenatal class. Again we enrolled in one which we hated and then chanced upon another which changed the way we looked at birth. I strongly believe we had a beautiful birthing experience because we made an informed decision on what we wanted
Month 7,8,9 - Crazy, I got bigger and we spent all weekends in malls trying to purchase what we thought we needed. Again I got two baby baths, two breast pumps and god forbid but yes - two strollers. Why? Because the first time, we simply didn't know what all was available and made uninformed decisions. We so badly wanted to set up a baby nursery, but time just flew
After birth - Month 1-12 - we have made atleast 2 visits a month to shops 10-25 km away to purchase baby essentials - diapers, creams, soaps, high clair, spoons. We wanted the best and it wasn't available at my kirana store. Again stores where we found good stuff ... rarely did we get the full range
Babyoye is our attempt to make life easier for new parents. Much more confident on child birth and care, we now wish to help expecting and new parents make informed choices on what to purchase - whats needed and what is available at different price points. All this so you can relax, not fret about making wrong buying decisions and enjoy your weekends. We deliver all our products right till your doorstep. You can now just hear some soothing Mozart and enjoy the experience of being pregnant or a new parent and let us deliver high quality products to your house.
If you are unhappy with anything - call us and we will replace it if it isn't damaged.
What we offer is the entire range at the best prices posible. Be it for everyday care, travel, feeding or even designing and delivering a beautiful room or nursery for your littel baby ... we intend to take the paing out of it and help you choose what's best for you and then deliver it just when you want it right in your own home. That's what we are about: babyoye.com - Your own baby & pregnancy products & services guide. Please do write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com
With love- Arunima

Drive-thru commentary is what we've come to expect from Democratic Party leaders in a state that increasingly doesn't like much of anything on the party's menu. Wallace Collins' remarks about the Oklahoma presidential primary could thus be dismissed as yet another express-lane foray instead of an actual insight from someone who had sat down and thought before speaking.
Collins said that for an incumbent president to get only 57 percent support from members of his own party is an indication that "Racism is alive and well in Oklahoma." Collins is the Oklahoma Democratic Party chairman. He was trying to explain away why Barack Obama didn't get 70 percent or more of the vote.
If indeed Obama's relatively poor showing is attributable to racism, then racism is rampant in his own party. No registered Republicans voted in the Democratic primary. No independents did. The 43 percent of voters statewide who rejected the president's desire for a second term were all registered Democrats.
Obama isn't popular here, and this is a political combo platter containing Democrats, Republicans and independents. In November 2008, when Democrats constituted more than 50 percent of Oklahoma's registered voters, Obama got 34 percent of the overall vote; he got 67 percent of the Democratic vote. Obviously, many Democrats voted against him.
