Anxiety Infuses November Art Sales
By CAROL VOGEL
Published: November 1, 2001
Christie's offices in Europe began getting panicked telephone calls two weeks ago from alarmed collectors who had received envelopes from Christie's in New York containing a mysterious white powder. A woman from Lausanne, Switzerland, was so concerned she called the police.
It turned out that the substance was crushed hard candy attached to a promotional announcement of Christie's contemporary art sale. The mailer featured one of the star works, an installation piece by the Cuban-born artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres composed of 325 pounds of candy, the pieces individually wrapped in blue cellophane.
The candy had been pulverized going through the mail sorters in Europe.
The incident was no laughing matter for Christie's amid an already jittery art market worried about the impact of the events of Sept. 11 and a shaky economy on the multimillion-dollar November sales that get under way in New York on Monday night.
Complicating matters, Thursday will bring the opening of the trial of A. Alfred Taubman, Sotheby's former chairman, who was indicted last year on charges that he fixed commission fees to thousands of customers with his counterpart at Christie's. Anxiety levels at Sotheby's, Christie's and Phillips de Pury & Luxembourg are running high. To draw business, all three auction houses have invested millions in guarantees to sellers, but Phillips has the most at stake, because it has invested the most money.
Will the trial and negative publicity surrounding past auction house practices have an effect on business? Will the European collectors who have dominated art buying over the last six months feel like traveling to New York for the sales? And perhaps the question most frequently asked, will people feel like buying art?
''It's impossible to predict the market,'' said Simon de Pury, chairman of Phillips. ''It's like focusing the lens of a camera. At first the image is blurry. But the closer the sales get, the sharper things come into focus. On one hand they're just around the corner. On the other so much can happen before then. Auctions are all about the mood of the moment.''
Experts have been comparing these sales to auctions during other troubled times, particularly the early 1990's during the Persian Gulf war, when the real estate market nose-dived and the art world froze.
Bargain hunting will be rife this season, most experts say. Dealers openly admit they hope to cash in on wholesale prices; passionate collectors say they will be on the lookout for undervalued material. To encourage buying this season the auction houses, in most cases, have kept estimates as low as the sellers will allow.
This season features several unusual 20th-century art collections. Christie's may have the surest winner among them on Tuesday, when it offers $40 million worth of art from the estate of René Gaffé, a Belgian perfume mogul and newspaper owner. In the 20's and 30's Gaffé bought newly finished works from masters like Picasso, Léger and Miró. Proceeds will go to charity, and everything is being sold without reserves, the secret minimum price generally agreed upon by the seller and the auction house. Most of this high-quality collection has not been seen publicly for 70 to 80 years.
Gaffé died in 1968, leaving his collection to his wife, Jeanne. Before she died in October, she designated Unicef as the beneficiary. Among the collection's stars is Léger's ''Motor'' (1918). A post-Cubist painting completed after Léger's return from World War I, it is based on the structure of an engine that drives a propeller of an airplane or ship. It is estimated to sell for $4 million to $6 million.
The collection also features several rare Picassos. A 1908 gouache, ''Nude in a Forest,'' which is expected to sell for $4 million to $6 million, depicts a nymph with her legs spread, drawn in massive, flattened planes. It was once owned by Gertrude Stein and relates closely to Picasso's ''Demoiselles d'Avignon.'' A Picasso sculpture, ''Head of a Woman (Fernande)'' is one of the great examples of modernist sculpture. The original cast was produced in 1909, and this bronze version is thought to have been made shortly thereafter.
Sculpture has been exceptionally popular for the last several seasons because it is one area of the market that is still undervalued and because buyers have begun to broaden the kinds of art they purchase. This month there will be more sculptures than have been for sale in recent memory. At Phillips, sculpture accounts for half of the 72 works of 20th-century art from the collection of Nathan and Marion Smooke of Los Angeles.
The Smooke collection, which is being auctioned on Monday, was bitterly fought over by the three auction houses. Phillips won, dipping into the deep pockets of its parent company, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, to offer the Smooke heirs a guarantee, an undisclosed amount promised to a seller regardless of the outcome of the sale. At the time it was announced that the collection would go to Phillips, people close to the negotiations said the auction house had given the Smooke heirs a $185 million guarantee, far more than the $80 million to $100 million estimate experts at Phillips have now put on the collection.

Time and again we've heard our teachers say that perseverance is an important part of learning and mastering music. But what if you're not sure whether you want to start in the first place? Here is some advice from students and teachers at Powers:
"If somebody was unsure about learning an instrument, I would just say to go for it. Might not make much progress at the beginning, might want to try a different instrument, or a different teacher, or to find one that�s compatible and gives them music to learn that they like, but it�s well worth the effort in the future once one gains some proficiency in the instrument they�re trying. And I think, I know a few of the teachers here at Powers, and they�ve all been extremely supportive not only to me but to other people they have taught."�� - June Matthews, viola da gamba student at Powers
"I think it�s important to find out what the child is interested in, and sometimes the children don�t know. So it�s a good idea to go to one of these petting zoos, or instrument concerts where the musicians demonstrate and play the instruments. And also the summertime is a great time to try out an instrument, to try it for a few weeks. But I do encourage parents to do it for at least a month because you can�t really tell if you like or don�t like an instrument in just one week."�� - Betty Reed, Belmont piano teacher
�If someone wasn�t sure about learning an instrument and they wanted to try it, I would say go for it, and give it a little bit of time, because some instruments, in fact most instruments except maybe the piano, are really hard to get a sense of. All of a sudden you�ve got a foreign body that you�re holding and it�s not doing what you asked it to do and it may make funny sounds, and that�s okay. Just give it a little bit of time, give it a month or so, and see if you wanna keep being challenged."��� - Sarah Freiberg, cello teacher at Powers

My storage drive which does not contain the OS stops spinning after a few minutes. This is annoying and totally defeats the purpose of having a fast access drive. The drive will NOT spin up when I use the mouse! It only spins up when accessed.
However, I don't want it to spin all the time. I would like it to spin up anytime there is mouse activity so it is at the ready when I am using the computer, but go to sleep during inactivity.
Can anyone think of a trick to get a secondary drive to spin up on a mouse movement?

Groin-Thrusting Venture Capitalist Gets Off
(Not like that.)
You could hardly expect a venture capitalist at a firm like "Passion Capital" to be well-behaved. Maybe that's why Stefan Glaenzer, a partner in the London VC firm, got no jail time for thrusting his groin into an unwitting American tourist on the tube during the Olympics. Glaenzer's other defense was that he "was under the influence of cannabis," which, yeah, okay.

Sony Cyber-shot W690 pictures and hands-onPocket-lint
The Sony Cyber-shot W690 is a new model for 2012, but based on older technology. While much of the range uses a new 18-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor, the W690 comes with an older 16-megapixel CCD sensor.
Although we don't have a price for the new model, which is going to be hitting stores in March 2012, we expect it to be among the most affordable of Sony's compact cameras.
In the hand the W690 doesn't feel quite as exciting as the WX100 or WX150, which are slightly better specified and more lovingly designed. But it's certainly small. Measuring 94.3 x 56.1 x 21.7 and weighing 142g it'll slip into any pocket or bag easily.
However, this compact snapper gives you a 10x zoom, offering a range of 25-250mm (in 35mm terms) which is impressive for a camera this small. The max aperture of f/3.3 is a little slow, but that's typical of this type of camera.
But the biggest downside of this camera, and the thing that instantly marks out it's lower specification, is the display on the back. At 3 inches the size is good, but the 230k-dot resolution means that things don't look nearly as crisp as on Sony's other cameras.
Designed mostly as a point-and-shoot camera, controls are governed by the buttons and slider on the back, much as they are in the more advanced compacts in the W series.
You get a range of picture effects as well as Sony's signature Sweep Panorama, but not in 3D, on top of the auto everything shooting modes. Video capture maxes out at 720p.

The touch-screen on the Nokia 6208c is optimized to write Chinese characters and messages in the most natural way, with a new pen input device (stylus). The design of the stylus that attached to the back of the Nokia 6208c is inspired by bamboo slips and works perfectly with the large color screen-display, which is reminiscent of an ink stone, another element from traditional Chinese art and culture. In addition, all of these design cues are implemented using premium materials such as the stainless steel back cover that makes the Nokia 6208c both easy to use and comfortable to hold.

"Axtell, Nebraska" Axtell by Rich62
Axtell Travel Guide: 1 reviews and 13 photos
On the north end of this small town is a rather large campus with an equally large name. Known simply as Bethpage (say "BETH-puh-jee") to locals, it is a resident mission for developmentally challenged individuals. The picture shows the elegant chapel on the campus.
The field of satellite dishes marks the location of the NTV network, which broadcasts over most of the state. The studios are located about 5 miles east of Axtell, and about 15 miles south of Kearney.
Basic services are available from the downtown business district of this small Nebraska town. Axtell can be found along highway 6/34 between Holdrege and Minden in south central Nebraska. About 700 people call Axtell home.

Allergy Shots: Underused Treatment?
When it comes to allergies, the best treatment is obvious to those who administer it -- and largely avoided by those who need it.
An estimated one in three Americans suffers from seasonal or year-round allergies caused by pollen, mold, insects, dust mites, and other common irritants. And allergy shots -- medically known as allergen immunotherapy -- are considered by most experts to be the most effective way to bring long-term relief of allergy symptoms.
Recommended Related to Women
By Charlotte LatvalaThey say change is good but it sure doesn't feel that way when your world seems to be spinning out of control. Follow these guiding truths from Ariane de Bonvoisin, author of the new book The First 30 Days, and that's exactly how long it'll take you to be able to face life's surprises with confidence, optimism, and hope. I'll admit it: I hate change. It's only spring and I already feel uneasy about my youngest child, my baby girl, starting kindergarten in the fall. I'm not...
Read the 30 Days to a Happier Life article > >
With each injection, patients are given increasingly higher doses of the actual allergy trigger until their body becomes resistant to it -- preventing the allergic reaction. By comparison, antihistamines, inhaled steroids, and other allergy medications -- which usually must be taken daily -- treat the resulting symptoms caused by the allergy trigger, but not the allergens themselves.
As Good as or Better Than Drugs
"There have been no good head-to-head study comparisons between immunotherapy and allergy medications," says allergist James Li, MD, of the Mayo Clinic. "Most physicians recognize that antihistamines have significant, but a fairly modest benefit. But the degree of benefit with allergy shots is quite substantial, at least equal to or exceeding many medications."
But despite their effectiveness, allergy shots are largely ignored by most patients, whom either suffer through the allergy season in silence or pop pills to temporarily ease their misery. A survey by the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) shows that two in three people with allergies would never consider getting allergy shots.
Why People Stay Away
First, there's the allergy testing -- multiple scratches into the skin with different allergy triggers to identify what the person is allergic to. Then there's the time involved -- weekly injections for three to five months to gradually build resistance followed by several years of monthly "maintenance" shots. And there's the pain with each allergy shot.
There's also the time it takes for the allergy shots to show noticeable results; usually, several months after those weekly "building" doses are completed. Relief of symptoms can be seen after a few days of antihistamine pills.
And there's the biggest reason, at least according to most of the allergy sufferers surveyed by the ACAAI three years ago: The cost. Do the math and a doctor's visit -- anywhere from $25 to $100 each, repeated 25 times or so in the first year alone (and then monthly until patients are relatively symptom-free for two years) -- is a lot more expensive than a bottle of over-the-counter Claritin, right? And if insurance doesn't pick up the bill, allergy shots may be all but impossible for some people to afford.

By Tim KilbrideJune 13, 2007
WASHINGTON (Army News Service, June 13, 2007) - U.S. forces in Iraq are managing deployment schedules to maximize efficiency and generate the greatest momentum for changes taking place to benefit the Iraqi people, a senior enlisted official there said yesterday.
A recently announced policy of 15-month deployments for the Army was put in place to mitigate the sharp learning curve demanded of Soldiers beginning rotations into Iraq and other locations in the war on terrorism, said Marine Sgt. Maj. Jeffrey A. Morin, the senior enlisted leader for U.S. Central Command.
"The situation on the ground changes so quickly and so drastically from day to day, from week to week, when you first arrive on the ground it does take some time for a unit to become fully effective," he said.
In a six- or 12-month rotation, the 30- to 50-day spin-up period in which troops learn to navigate their environment cuts substantially into overall effectiveness when compounded over multiple divisions and rotations, Sgt. Maj. Morin explained.
A 15-month deployment diffuses the impact of the orientation period and also balances the hand-off time at the end of a rotation, he said.
"You don't want to start things you can't finish toward the end of your cycle," he said. "With the 15-month cycle, you're looking at getting more effective combat power on the ground at any given time."
The other "tactical advantage" to the extended deployment, Sgt. Maj. Morin said, is that with a guaranteed 12 months in the rear afterward, Soldiers are able to space out intensive training courses that will benefit them on their next rotation.
The time at home also benefits the Soldiers' family lives, Sgt. Maj. Morin said, relieving uncertainty about how long a Soldier will be home and allowing families to make firm plans.
"There's a lot more continuity, if you will, for home life now that we did not have before," he said.
While the effect of the extended deployments temporarily hurt morale at the time of the announcement, Sgt. Maj. Morin admitted, the certainty of a guaranteed schedule actually improves morale in the long run.
"When you first tell somebody they're going to be extended, ... morale does dip, morale goes down, because they're going to be there longer than they thought they were going to be," he said.
However, he noted, more impacting was "that unknowing period: 'Were we going to be extended' Were we not'' That did affect morale."
The increased effectiveness of the Army and Marine Corps becomes apparent in the positive shifts on the ground in Iraq, Sgt. Maj. Morin said.
"I'd just like to let you know that we are making great progress right now, although you might not see it," he said. "But the behind-scene kind of things that are happening out there at the combat-outpost level and at the joint-security station level" are encouraging, he said.
With fusion between the Iraqi security forces and coalition forces, Sgt. Maj. Morin said, "we're partnering up together and continuing to prosecute this war against the anti-Iraqi forces."
He called the Iraqi people "great, great partners" in the war. "They are not the enemy," he stressed.
"There are many other players out there that want to be the enemy, but the Iraqi people are our friends," Sgt. Maj. Morin said. "And when we are partnered together with them, as we are right now, success down the road - and I'll never the use the word 'win,' because I really don't know what winning is yet - but achieving success in that country is coming step by step."

I thought I could figure this out but can't.
I'm trying to take vmnic2 and vmnic3 and create a vSwitch for just the VM's to use.
I can do this part just fine.
But I can't seem to team them together. I was told that I should create the teaming on the switch (an Extreme Networks x450 switch) but when I do so (whether as L2 or L3 team) I can no longer route outside the switch.
Without the switch teaming on the network switch everything routes fine (from my workstation for example to the VM). Once I enable port sharing/teaming though I can no longer get to the VM from my workstation or vice versa.
Any ideas?

I am the owner of Lakeway Bait & Tackle in Hochatown, OK and have recently been informed that we are considered a supporter of Brad Porton. This post is to inform EVERYONE that my store does not support Mr. Porton. Brad has only been in my store approximately two times in the past two years that I have been here. When the news came out in the paper, I informed my employees that I would prefer he not be a customer but wasn't to concerned since he wasn't a regular customer before. I have been told that he has been in the store twice of an evening when I was not here. I have stressed VERY strongly to my employees that I do not want my customers to be uncomfortable by Brad Porton's presence. If you feel you need to list my store on your signs being posted on the hi-way, then you would be misrepresenting my business. I cannot, nor can any business owner, be here open to close everyday of the week. I can only ask my employees to pass on my concern to Mr. Porton but cannot speak for them.

I'm not from the area, but I appreciate that it is difficult for store owners to control who walks in their doors. Are people really putting signs on the highway or is it just talk? Enough people have been hurt,I don't think boycotting local businesses is the answer. Geeee, if we could just get the judge to hold him w/o bond everyone could go back to business as usual... so sorry you have been pulled into this.

Like one person stated, this is Brad and his mom's fault. Not the storeowners. If I was his mom, his butt would be in jail!

I think you are right, that you cannot keep eye over your store 24/7. I think it's a possibility that your employees might even be afraid to ask him to leave. There has been so much talk online, and in the paper of just how influential his mother is in this town. I know that a lot of your employees aren't very old and have many years of working ahead of them and maybe they are afraid that if they make the "influential people" angry they will have problems finding jobs in the future. I've been in your store many times and yall have never been anything but nice and professional to me. I have also worked in convenience stores back in the day and when it's night and no one is around to back you up trying to ask someone to leave your store can be a little intimidating.
I hope some of these people threatening to put the signs along the highway would come into your store and actually get to know you before they would do something that would hurt your business. I will continue to be a regular customer.

Nobody seems to realize that he has not been convicted of any crimes. Y do you think he is not locked up right now? B/c the only thing that the police have are allegations and nothing more? Yes they found porn and illegal meds at his house, but nothing that made police believe he had done these unspeakable crimes! All of these topix forums are full of hearsay BS that your backwoods town bought into without even blinking an eyelash. You all turned on one your own and didn't look back. Family and true friends of brad know he is not capable of these crimes. Pray that this didn't happen and he was falsely accused instead of grabbing your torches and pitchforks. I know most of you are smart enough to realize the phrase "proven guilty" and what it means.... K I may have went on a little rant there by accident. You all have every right to be furious with this situation and voice your opinions b/c that's what makes this country great! I just want y'all to realize there is 2 sides to every story and for 29 years brad was a valued member of broken bow that most everyone respected. Have a good night everyone I'm gonna try and get some sleep.

from the looks of this copy cat post someone has started a support Brad campaigne..I dont think you realize how serious this is. I dont even think Brad does. Or his mother for that matter or she would have stopped him years ago.
#10 May 7, 2012
To the Brad Supporters. If he is innocent then WHY did he of last week STILL claim to be a licensed therapist as his voice mail suggests in his own words? He was never a therapist or licensed in anything to do with mental health. He as fired from SOTS in august of 2011.
Do you believe he is a therapist? Do you find it nomral that he has always surrounded himself with young teenage boys? He is 30 years old for christ's sake!!! Do you think Sherril's has turned against him to? Believe the Pharmacists Amy and law inforement investigating that part of the case are just making it up too?
Everyone has different sides to their personality Ms. and obviously his close family and friends don't think he could be capable of such evil wrong doings I understand. However, I have heard some of the evidence of his twisted sexual desires first hand. He has sexual urges for young boys. Young boys are his sexual preference and he can't help it. Some of the quesitons his concerned family and friends should be inquiring about are the following?
Who abused him as a child? because obviously someone did..a man. most sexual deviants were abused themselves as children. Look it up, there is scientific research to back that up.
2.Why has'nt his family and friends who ran in his circle tried to get him some help for this years ago?
3. Why was he always hanging out with young boys? He often had parties at his home and envited young boys? What normal 30 year old man wants to hang out with boys who can not even legally drive in a social setting??

a question/ can a store owner refuse service to a customer if that store is open to the public???

"We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone"
United States
#15 May 8, 2012
Yes....any business open to the public has the right to refuse service to anyone they want as long as it is not based on the color of their skin or their sex. If you refuse service to someone because they are mexican or becaise they are a chinese woman....etc etc that is called discrimination and goes against a persons civil rights.....however if a business owner refuses service to an individual based on the fact that they r a potential physical danger to other customers or etc etc....you can refuse them and ask them to leave your estabkishment....or if they r dressed inapp or if they r rude...etc etc

check the ped records for McCurtain Co. I havn't looked in awhile but when I did it was a shocker. Years ago all the kids ran from a certain molester..his family would pack him off to Vanita when he got caught.
#18 May 17, 2012
Well, support4family,he is in fact locked up now. I have a feeling this is not the end of charges that will be filed against him.
#19 May 17, 2012
I agree. It sounds like they have so much evidence against him that he may have more counts against him than any sicko we have ever tried in McCurtain County. Maybe they will get enough charges that even if he gets minimum sentence for all it will still add up to life in prison.
United States
#20 Feb 10, 2013
The porn found was of numerous young children from this area who have stepped forward about the horrible things Brad did to him. He is not and never will be a valued member of this area.
#21 Feb 23, 2013
Brad does not have a college degree to be a Counselor, or Therapist, or a Doctor. He was a Tech at Sherrill Pharmacy, and from their, he only used his imagination of what he wanted to believe in. I believe he has mental issues, to make people believe he graduated from college when he has not. What he did is wrong, it is serious, and he will go to jail due to the charges on prescription fraud, and doing the nasty things he did inside his home with minors.

Consider a canonical elliptical cone $C$ with its vertex at the origin, with height $h,$ and with a base given by: \begin{equation*} \left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^2+\left(\frac{y}{b}\right)^2=1;~z=h \end{equation*} for $a, b$ not equal to $0$. Given a point $p=(p_x,p_y,p_z)$, how would you determine if $p$ is interior to $C$? I realise I can first check to see if $p$ is outside of the elliptical right cylinder where one base the base of the elliptical cone and the other is on the $XY$ plane, so for grins, assume that check has already been made, and $p$ is in fact inside that cylinder. The most obvious solution I see is to linearly scale $a$ and $b$ by $\frac{p_z}{h}$ and see if $p$ is inside the ellipse: \begin{equation*} \left(\frac{h}{p_z}\right)^2\left[\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^2+\left(\frac{y}{b}\right)^2\right]=1;~z=p_z. \end{equation*} Are there other approaches? Thanks.
Write down the equation for the cone: it is $$(x/a)^2 + (y/b)^2 - (z/h)^2 = 0.$$ Now the interior of the cone will be defined by the inequalities $$(x/a)^2 + (y/b)^2 - (z/h)^2 < 0 \text{ and } 0 < z < h.$$ So given a point $(x,y,z)$, assuming that $0 < z < h$ (so that at least the $z$-coordinate is compatible with lying in the interior of the cone), you evaluate $(x/a)^2 + (y/b)^2 - (z/h)^2$ and consider whether or not it is negative.
This is of course just a rephrasing of the description you give in your post, but it is the most practical test that I can think of, and should be easy to program.
NB: I am writing $(x,y,z)$ rather than $(p_x,p_y,p_z)$ just to make the notation simpler.

The Hunter Sargs and One Old Man
by Sidney E. Johnson
In the eons past along the ancient river
Stood the gray and grizzled form of hunters,
The Sarg of long ago in winters past,
Beneath the gnarled trunks of long forgotten trees,
At that moment when first they ever saw a man.
And he was old and bent and leaned upon a staff.
With eyes that read the scene as one would a rune,
Skin like leather and eyes the palest blue;
Then ventured forth the shaggy beasts as one,
The azure sky a backdrop for the pristine call
As the horn was brought to brutal beastial lips,
It was the song of sargs in awe of one old man,
He did not flee as most who chanced to meet,
But gently curled the lips in what is now a smile
And as they drew unto a copse of reeds,
Did this man stretch out his crippled hand to them,
This gesture ne'er was seen a 'fore until that day!
Wild eyed the beasts drew back in haste ,
Yet not before it brushed the human hand,
Ere soon they calmed as by his voice t'were soothed,
And settled in the nettled lea to hear his words,
What words had never filled the fireside circle,
In eons past the hunters returned into their wood,
And told they a tale to young and old of one man,
A human who had been so kind and did not flee
Nay, he supped with them in merry candor
And walked into the gnarled trees beyond the ancient river.

A reflectarray element with electronic phase control implemented by ohmic MEMS switches is characterized and validated in the X-band. The proposed element is based on two patches aperture-coupled to a microstrip network with a common delay line, forming a sub-array, in order to reduce both cost and manufacturing complexity in large reflectarrays. The electrical length of the line can be modified through the inclusion of a series switch between different segments of the microstrip line. The ohmic electrostatic switch has been designed for RF applications and manufactured on a coplanar line. The transition between the coplanar line of the MEMS and the microstrip delay line has been implemented using gold wires which have been bonded to the printed pads. This connection leads to a high impedance line. The MEMS switches have been characterized using reflection and transmission measurements on microstrip lines for deducing an equivalent circuit, which has been used in the validation of the gathered element with electronic phase control measured using waveguide simulator. The same approach has been applied to evaluate a 2-bit reflectarray element.

Manicures and pedicures are a classic combination, like peanut butter and jelly or the locker code 18-32-27. Unlock some me time with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $49 for two classic manicures and classic spa pedicures with Zoya polish (an $104 value)
- $69 for two BGel manicures and classic spa pedicures with Zoya polish (a $134 value)
During classic manicures, technicians soak and massage hands, shape nails, trim cuticles, and add color with coats of toxin-free Zoya polish. Clients can also opt for Essie or OPI polishes. The BGel manicure swaps Zoya products with a gel polish, which can last up to two weeks. Technicians harden the polish under a LED light before filing nails into the client's desired shape. Both types of manicures are augmented by the spa pedicure's foot soak, nailcare, sugar scrub, callus-removal treatment, foot massage, and a coat of Zoya polish.
CiCi Nails
There are two types of mani-pedis at CiCi Nails. There are classic mani-pedis for those who want to look polished and elegant, and then there are signature services that bestow upon patrons one-hour sessions of relaxation and indulgence. In both of these services, technicians use Zoya natural nail polishes, which come in 300 hues and contain no toxins or harsh chemicals. Though these colors last a long time, the nail artists also offer no-chip and BGel polishes for finishes that last up to two weeks. The no-chip polish uses UV rays to get a flawless, scratch-free finish, while the Gelish polish uses LED light.

Cancer is a disease of aging, and so with the increasing age of the US population, the incidence of cancer is also increasing. Furthermore the global burden of cancer continues to increase largely because of aging and growth of the world population together with increasing smoking rates in economically developing countries. Tumor formation is critically dependent upon two processes—initiation and progression. The initiation step is mediated by DNA damage, which causes activating mutations in proto-oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes in many cancers. This is then thought to facilitate tumor progression and metastasis. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is upregulated at an early stage in tumorigenesis and has been implicated as an important mediator of proliferation through the increased formation of bioactive arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites such as prostaglandin E2. Significantly, we have found that COX-2-mediated AA metabolism also results in the formation of heptanone-etheno (Hε)-DNA adducts. Furthermore, we showed that the Hε-DNA adducts arose from the reaction of DNA with the lipid hydroperoxide-derived bifunctional electrophile, 4-oxo-2(E)-nonenal (ONE). Similarly, 5-lipoxoygenase-mediated AA metabolism also results in the formation of ONE-derived DNA adducts. The resulting Hε-DNA adducts are highly mutagenic in mammalian cell lines suggesting that these pathways could be (in part) responsible for the somatic mutations observed in tumorigenesis. As approximately 80% of cancers arise from somatic mutations, this provides an additional link between the upregulation of COX-2 and tumorigenesis.

SCIenergy's MESA model was originally designed for commercial property, to enable the provision of a range of energy services along with major new capital systems without violating mortgage covenants and while remaining an operating expense to tenants. These same attributes make it a potential solution for other private property that is naturally averse to assuming additional debt, such as private universities and hospitals, industrial and other corporate property.
Under SCIenergy's Managed Energy Services Agreement, a building pays its historical energy usage (adjusted for weather and occupancy) for the contract period, and SCIenergy pays for the building's utilities. During the contract, SCIenergy invests in capital upgrades to lower the utility bill and recoup its investment. The model is entirely transparent, with all development costs, bids, savings calculations, and flows of investment visible during all phases of the contract. SCIenergy is also technology‐ and contractor‐agnostic; it imposes no proprietary systems or products on its clients and invites clients to nominate engineers and construction contractors to bid on and implement its projects. After a retrofit, SCIenergy uses its software (SCIwatch) to monitor building operations and ensure savings are achieved.

Pelvic exenteration
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I was treated for cervical cancer a year ago with a radical hysterectomy. Six months went by and I had a recurrence and underwent radiation along with cisplatin chemotherapy. This treatment did not rid me of all the cancer and I am now facing a pelvic exenteration. I can't find much information about this surgery. Can you tell me what you know about it?
Stephen C. Rubin, MD, Professor and Chief of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
Pelvic Exenteration is a radical surgical procedure used in just the situation you describe, when lesser surgery and radiotherapy have not been successful in controlling cervical or uterine cancers. If the tumor is confined to the central pelvis, cure may still be possible with exenteration. Because the tumor will be in close contact with the bladder and rectum, removal of one or both of these organs will be a part of the surgery. The urinary and/or intestinal tract can be reconstructed, as can the vagina, if its removal is needed. If there is any evidence of spread of the cancer beyond the central pelvis, the operation should not be performed.
Although pelvic exenteration involves a lengthy and difficult surgical procedure and a prolonged recovery, many patients have been cured of recurrent cancer by this means, and have gone on to live relatively normal lives. An operation of this type should only be performed by an experienced gynecologic cancer surgeon at a major cancer center.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ House members returning for the start of the annual legislative session found themselves with a newly redecorated chamber.
It's the latest part of the ongoing, $285 million renovation of the Statehouse to be completed. The project began in 2001, and workers expect to finish it in 2011.
Statehouse architect Barry Greis said the goal was to make the chamber look more like it did when the west wing of the Statehouse was finished, in the early 1880s. That meant giving the chamber new chandeliers and lighting fixtures, and new carpet, made in South Africa.
But the state also spent more than $1 million to upgrade the systems used to track and display how legislators vote.

It has a small zippered pocket on the outer flap, two small zippered pockets on the sides (one with a headphone port), three zippered pockets under the flap (two vertical, one larger horizontal), another zippered pocket behind those with card-holders, pen holders etc

JavaFX on Swing, Swing in JavaFX
By dannycoward on Jul 06, 2009
To a large degree JavaFX is designed with a new generation of developers in mind, those with a little more art than science in their backgrounds. More into shifting shapes on screen than polymorphism in code. And they may well be wearing skinny jeans for the first time, unlike the Janitor who was pioneering them in the 1980s.
But for Swing developers who have art and science in equal measure, JavaFX is a great companion to add to the portfolio.
Original team member Amy Fowler blogged recently about how to use JavaFX to make over an existing Swing application.
And with the latest release of the JFXtras, a handy suite of goodies for JavaFX development, comes the new JavaFX wrapper for Swing components, as you can read all about here.

Airway Protective Mechanisms

Cough and swallow are highly coordinated reflex behaviors whose common purpose is to protect the airway. The pharynx is the common tube for air and food/liquid movement from the mouth into the thorax, has been largely overlooked, and is potentially seen as just a passive space. The thyropharyngeus muscle responds to cough inducing stimuli to prepare a transient holding area for material that has been removed from the subglottic airway. The cricopharyngeus muscle participates with the larynx to ensure regulation of pressure when a bolus/air is moving from the upper airway through to the thorax (i.e., inspiration or swallow) or the reverse (i.e., expiration reflex or vomiting). These vital mechanisms have not been evaluated in clinical conditions but could be impaired in many neurodegenerative diseases, leading to aspiration pneumonia. These newly described airway protective mechanisms need further study, especially in healthy and pathologic human populations.

I have a blog with ~15k posts, and a DB size of 14.4M.
The website works blazingly fast from the front end, but post-edit and post-listing screens hang - either loading partially or not at all.
Even worse, the entire server gets bogged down after trying...
Examining the process manager showed that /public_html/wp-admin/edit.php or /public_html/wp-admin/post.php (post-listing and post-edit, respectively - yeah I know they seem backwards) was eating 99% CPU.
I experienced this problem on a 3rd tier Bluehost VPS, so I upgraded to a Heart Internet Hybrid 250 (12core, 28gb ram) to try and mitigate the problem - no dice :/
This is a fresh install with no plugins using Twenty Twelve
Any help getting this resolved is greatly appreciated!!
edit: This might be pertinent: When on the add-new or post-edit pages the title loads and is editable, but the content editor loads halfway. Additionally, the text appears but is white and only visible when highlighted...
