Wise & balanced, Jane brings both knowledge and joi de vivre to the bookstore. Jane specializes in the body, mind, soul sections of the bookstore.
After the untimely death of his father, young Allen Kurzweil looks forward to attending a boarding school in the Swiss Alps, where his father was raised. He is attracted by the promise of fresh air, hiking, and the camaraderie of other boys. Once there, however, he is badly bullied by an older boy, with the unlikely name of Cesar Augustus. For years afterwards he is haunted by the memories. Decades later, when his own son is bullied, Ray decides to track down Cesar. What he encounters in his search can only be put in the category of "you can't make this stuff up!" A substantive memoir with a whacky side, this is a book you will not want to put down. ~ Jane
Spiritual philosopher Mark Nepo has given us another gem for the nourishment of the heart and soul. By explaining that life's glories, complexities, and difficulties are meant to be experienced and especially to be examined, we learn that everything has meaning, and everything contributes to the making of soul. Through Nepo's clarity and prose, we are encouraged and guided to develop practices that will help address the universal longing for wisdom, truth, and love. ~ Jane
As this brilliant, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel opens, young Theo survives a New York City terrorist attack that kills his mother and leaves him tormented. In the next few years he journeys from the upper echelons of New York society to the suburbs of Las Vegas, and finally to Amsterdam. As he tries to adapt to each new situation, all the while shielding a secret from the day of the attack, the plot centers on his trauma, longing and regret. A frantic and tense climax creates a path of redemption for Theo. Unforgettable characters, great attention to detail, exquisite writing, and a grand scope combine to make this a rare literary treat. ~ Jane
Indie spiritualists experience what has been called a deep longing for a direct connection with spirit. It often involves finding meaning in the details of everyday life, from the most mundane to the blindsiding and sublime. A rock musician covered with tattoos and piercings, Grosso has delivered a stunning account of his own tough journey from self-destruction to wholeness, in a way that honors diversity and individuality. In these pages you will find profound truths, insights, and wisdom for your own spiritual explorations. The message is empowering and hopeful.
This is a historical novel based on the ancient battle of the Masada. In Herod's palace high on a clifftop, a community of Jews gathered for protection against the Roman army. They lived for years in security until the Romans devised a plan of attack. This is the story of four Jewish women who arrive at the palace from different directions and different backgrounds, who become as close as sisters. Together they serve as caretakers of the doves of the palace, which holds a place of importance in this fragile community. The story is filled with mysticism, magic, and beauty, alongside the horrors of battle and persecution. ~ Jane
A rollicking modern-day interpretation of the classic Greek tragedy, Oedipus Rex, this story will leave you in stitches. It has the cynicism of Tom Wolfe mixed with the absurdity of Carl Hiassen. The novel begins with a slow dangerous seduction then picks up speed as each new character and plot twist is introduced. This story is wickedly funny, fearlessly taking on many contemporary societal themes as it builds to a thrill-ride climax of an ending. Featured in the story is a cadre of rather despicable but entertaining characters who are caricatures of the 1980's "Me Generation." The writing is superb and the story is fantastic. I recommend it to everyone!
In one of the most imaginative plots ever conceived, many themes take turns on center stage to produce a lively and engaging story. An intricate plot leads a simple country boy, Wheeler Burton, from his early goals of trying to perfect a killer spit ball on his little league team, to becoming an iconic rock star and then a successful author. But it seems that Wheeler, this magical hero, has more to accomplish, when at the age of forty-seven he mysteriously finds himself back in time in turn-of-the-20th-century Vienna. An accurate depiction of this time and place is woven into the story: Change is in the air, modern society is emerging, and young intellectuals from around the world—many of whom will become famous—are all together practicing café politics. This book is destined to become a classic. ~ Jane
Ricard is both a cellular geneticist from the Pasteur Institute and a Buddhist monk, living and working with the most enlightened spiritual masters of our times. He combines twenty-first century science with the thousands of years of spirituality to develop and encourage a compelling plan for realizing happiness. ~Jane
In a society where the distance between the haves and the have-nots grows every day, this book is a timely and inspiring resource. It attempts to help us align the soulful intentions that we all have with the way we direct the flow of money through our lives. Twist is both a fundraiser and a consciousness raiser, speaking from her heart to bring about dramatic change in the relationship between people and their money. Her goal is to alter the view of money as a scarcity, which produces toxic results, and to see it instead as a carrier of our finest aims and as an opportunity to nourish the things we most care about. This book is filled with stories of individuals, organizations and corporations already practicing this approach. Whether we have a little or a lot of money, the author's words can help us live with integrity and be happier doing it. ~ Jane
What could be called a memoir is more like a wild adventure, so fasten your seat belts! A spiritual journey of nearly 20 years takes Jessica Maxwell from a dubious skeptic, to a believer, to a healing holy woman. Along the way she attracts many spiritual characters including an enlightened pig farmer and a golf-loving Indian mystic. She connects a past life with her present situation, experiences energy bodies of several ascended masters, and has visitations from departed friends. Maxwell tells her story with great humor, joy, and compassion—and without proselytizing. We learn from this rollicking ride is that there is an amazing and powerful spiritual aspect to life if you are willing to show up, and are paying attention. ~ Jane
This haunting and beautifully written story is set in Ceylon in the mid-1800's during a time of civil unrest between peasants and colonialists. The land and people are vividly depicted; the lushness of the lifestyles, even the smells of the place come through the writing. A complex and powerful relationship develops between a colonial governor's wife and her Tamil servant, as together they work to capture images on glass in the earliest days of photography. A mounting civil war adds suspense and drama to this incredible story. ~ Jane

Painted on a Dumpster1 on Bellevue Avenue
1. Anyone have a good synonym to avoid the clunky capping of the trademarked term?
I believe that stencil was based on a Village Voice cover.
"dumpster" is trademarked???
as an admitted anglophile, i like "rubbish bin."
Yes, indeed, October 2004. Check it out for yourself!
As an actual Anglo, I'd have to point out that "rubbish bin" commonly refers to smaller, generally indoor receptacles. I call the large outdoor trash bins "skips," but I think a less slang-y term is a "frontloader bin" or "frontloader container," presumably as they are emptied by front-loading garbage vehicles.
debris box is what I call it.
Oh! Seeing that Voice cover changes it up for me. I didn't notice the fangs or blood in the stencil version; I thought he was boning her in the arse.
Invest in an AP Stylebook:
"Dumpster: Trademark for a large metal trash bin. Use trash bin or trash container instead."
The other day I was taking a bag of garbage out to the Dumpster in the alley adjacent to my building but my access to it was blocked by a large man urinating on it. I wanted to ditch my trash and get back inside, but at the same time I didn't want to embarass or disturb the guy mid-pee, even though I was a little grossed out (I've pissed on many Dumpsters in my life, but this one is the one I use almost daily and it is a part of my home so there was an odd, albeit minor sense of violation). So does anybody know what the proper protocol is for this situation? Do you just ditch the bag and let the pisser finish their business in peace, or do you wait, or do you yell at them, or what? I'm sure this will happen again and I'd really like to know.
Unless you want him to turn around and finish the job on your pants leg, yelling at him is probably not the best solution. Even if he's too far away to get you, you don't want a better view, do you? Wait till he's done. Then yell.
"Skip" is a good word; I wish we had one for it.
Weird, I never knew Dumpster was a trademark. That puts it right up there with Q-Tip, Kleenex, and Band-Aid.
LOL @ another mention of Anglophile on an Amy Kate thread.
You can call it a trash bin.
It was trademarked in 1964, and yes it is still registered. Amazingly.
Hello, Dylan!
"Trash bin" conjures something much smaller in my mind. Still looking for a good substitute...
You've got to go with what sounds right to you, but if you'd said "trash bin" I would have known exactly what you were talking about. To me, a "trash can" is the smaller, individual version of the larger, communal "trash bin."
The Village Voice cover was painted by Alex Ross.
He's FANTASTIC.

You maintain this memorial. I am wondering if you are a relative, perhaps a descendant of his? I am a descendant of his brother and am seeking information about his family group. Is anyone interested in family history? If so, please contact me and I can give you information. Thank you for all of your work on Find a Grave.

Thank you so much.

William R Brown
Hi. I have seen your posts regarding William R. Brown, to Genealogy Nut. Are you related to him? He was my great grandfather. Have been in touch with Genealogy Nut, and am awaiting further contact. My mom has done lots of research, and there are a couple of other descendents of William's that are interested in sharing info. If you are interested, perhaps we could trade email addresses.

Thread the Needle
The Thread the Needle exercise works your shoulders, chest, abs, and obliques.
So this is just a great over all full body exercise. We're gonna start in a plank position. That means your feet or shoulder was the part and your hands are directly under your shoulders. We're gonna start by taking left foot and bring it to you right elbow. Bring it back to the starting position and then just move that right hand a couple inch off the side while keeping your hips square. We'll move to the other side, bring that knee to that elbow, bring that left hand out just a little bit. Good, so moving to this repetitions, couple of things to think about. Keep those hips square, right. Squeeze those glucs. Nice tied abs and breathe through it. Your heart rate should come up in this , nicely done.

Make Believe
Practice makes perfect
January 10, 2005
The make-believe president fidgeted Sunday but otherwise stood stoically, ready to accept the oath of office from the make-believe Supreme Court chief justice. Organizers conducted a daylong dress rehearsal for President Bush's inauguration to make certain that Bush's swearing-in on Jan. 20 goes as planned. ---------- Compiled from news services and edited by Patrick Olsen (email@example.com) and Drew Sottardi (email@example.com)
Film Review: 'It's Only Make Believe'
Dennis Harvey and Variety
June 20, 2014
Despite the title, there's nothing very fanciful about the trials endured by the heroine of "It's Only Make Believe," or her doggedly realistic responses to them. Still, there's a breathless hyperreality to Arild Ostin Ommundsen's latest feature that lends spontaneity and verve to a tale that might well have been played as relentlessly downbeat. Starring the multihyphenate's muse Silje Salomonsen as a young woman who pays mightily -- then pays some more -- for some early law-flaunting behavior,...
Understanding play

February 11, 2006
This is regarding "Sick and tired of those princesses" (Commentary, Jan. 19), and the letters responding to the opinion piece. I was reminded that several years ago my granddaughter, who was 3 years old at the time, was staying at our home while her parents were shopping. As I am a retired preschool teacher, I asked her what she wanted to do. "I want to be a princess," was her reply. I cut a tiara from some posterboard and glued some plastic gems on it, painted it gold and put it on her head.
Indiana State makes believer of Notre Dame

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said Indiana State coach Greg Lansing approached him and said, "Thanks for scheduling us. " It wasn't because Indiana State was just happy to be here. Indiana State is a good team with designs on winning the Missouri Valley Conference title, and major programs were hesitant to schedule the Sycamores out of conference. That's because they feared what happened Sunday to Notre Dame would happen to them. The Sycamores dominated...

B2K to perform at Billiken Parade
August 8, 2003
The cheers along King Drive and in Washington Park during Saturday's 74th annual Bud Billiken Parade will be for the dancers, drill teams and floats that make up the nation's largest black parade. But when popular R&B group B2K takes the stage, expect an ear-splitting crowd reaction. "The teenagers will probably overrun the rest of us when they perform," said Eugene Scott, president of Chicago Defender Charities, which runs the event. The parade--named for a make-believe protector...

Pretend Play Is More Than Just Fun

December 5, 1990
"Mamma, don`t step there!" My not-quite-3-year-old's face is scrunched in distress. I look at the floor. All I see is a scattering of Duplos. Eli knows better. "That's a family of horseshoe crabs," he says indignantly. "They`re getting ready to do errands across the pond." I apologize for my ignorance while I privately marvel at the richness of a child's pretend world. Though it's not something parents always understand, the world of make-believe is something they need to respect,...
Album review: Santigold, 'Master of My Make-Believe' (3.5 stars out of 4)

April 30, 2012
Philadelphia native Santi White made a splash in 2008 with her self-titled debut album, back when she was known as "Santogold." She turned heads with a smart mix of reggae and new wave, hit the road, then took her time making the follow-up, the even more expansive "Master of My Make-Believe" (Downtown/Atlantic). Once again cowriting all the tracks and coproducing several, she broadens her rhythmic reach with splashes of African-style percussion...
Tea In Sympathy

November 26, 1995
I would have wanted her to have one. We would have poured each other violet-colored waters and nibbled upon chrysanthemum-petal canapes. We would, perhaps, have slipped on alabaster gloves, mine sizes larger than hers. And, giggling, I would have taught her to lift and curl her pinkie, just so, just as my mother had once instructed me. That is what mothers and daughters indulge in, afternoons of make-believe teas, and the whisperings that go with them. That is where secrets are shared and the...
Jones makes believer of Jackson
By Matt Erickson, Special to the Tribune
September 24, 2011
The changing of the guard is now official, and Jon Jones has assumed the throne. Defending his UFC light heavyweight title for the first time Saturday night, Jones made easy work of former champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson with a fourth-round submission victory. Since taking the title from Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in March, Jones had been presumed to be on the verge of becoming the most dominant champion in UFC history — at 24 and before he had defended his title even once.

Too often books that play with a back-to-front and vice-versa reading are gimmicky; Aliki's is not, because the stories are so separate.

Season could spin out of control with loss
By David Haugh and In the Wake of the News
September 12, 2010
Naturally the Bears will wear their road white jerseys Sunday at Soldier Field against the Lions. Based on local reaction to a winless preseason, they must feel like enemies in their own home. Coach Lovie Smith has made similar fashion choices in the past to avoid wearing navy because of hot weather early in the season. But never in Smith's six previous season debuts on the Bears sideline have he and his players felt heat like they do now. And it has nothing to do with the sun....
Kids, get out of the hole

September 25, 2008
With a new addition that doubles its size, the Brooklyn Children's Museum -- the world's oldest museum dedicated to youngsters -- has transformed itself from a shrinking violet that barely poked its head out of the ground into a can't-miss daffodil.

Mekons reviewed at Schubas
By Joshua Klein, SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE
August 1, 2009
By just about any measure, the very existence of the Mekons is a small miracle. Initially a ramshackle co-op of art-school instigators, currently scattered around different cities and countries, and cursed by bad luck on the business front, the fact that the Mekons have made it past the 30-year mark and are still going strong practically beggars belief. Granted, one of the group's enduring gifts is its ability to make believers out of doubters, and those still unconvinced by the band's unlikely...
Children`s Festival A Passport To World`s Cultures
By Nancy Maes
June 12, 1992
If international festivals are so exciting, it's because the world's cultures are unique and we rush to revel in what makes them dissimilar. Chicago has its share of this ethnic diversity as children with make-believe passports will discover at the sixth annual International Children's Fest, organized by the Chicago Children's Museum. Children will see that there is no need to be apprehensive about the unfamiliar as they travel to booths representing more than 25 countries and...

Kids Museums Come Out From Behind The Displays
By Michael A. Lev
February 14, 1993
A few years ago, she was just another zealous PTA mother orchestrating a cultural fair in the school gymnasium. Now Linda Scheck is running one of the largest new children's museums in the country. The Children's Museum and Imaginasium, operating out of a worn Hoffman Estates barn, drew more than 40,000 visitors last year, its first in operation. After the museum's scheduled reopening next month in a converted Elgin department store, Scheck projects huge annual attendance...
Make-believe loses its appeal
By Camille Sweeney, NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE
March 19, 2008
One recent rainy afternoon, Eleanor LaFauci, 7, sat with her feet in open-toed foam slippers, admiring her toenails, freshly painted watermelon pink. "Look, we're reading an adult magazine," Eleanor told her mother, gleefully waving a copy of People with a desultory-looking Britney Spears on its cover. Eleanor was in the bubble-gum-colored pedicure lounge of Dashing Diva, the Upper West Side franchise of the international nail spa, with her 3 1/2-year-old sister and a half-dozen or so...

San Diego's Otonomy Inc., a biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing therapeutics for diseases and disorders of the inner and middle ear, secured $49 million in an oversubscribed Series D round of financing.
New investors include Jennison Associates LLC (on behalf of clients), Perceptive Advisors, Federated Kaufmann Funds, certain private investment funds advised by Clough Capital Partners LP, Ally Bridge Group, and additional undisclosed institutional investors. All existing investors participated in the round including OrbiMed Advisors LLC, Novo Ventures, TPG Biotech, Avalon Ventures, Domain Associates, RiverVest Venture Partners, Aperture Venture Partners, and Osage University Partners.
Proceeds from the financing will be used primarily to advance the company's product pipeline through the potential filing for regulatory approval of OTO-201 in pediatric patients undergoing tympanostomy tube placement surgery, completion of the ongoing pivotal study of OTO-104 in Ménière's disease patients, and advancement of OTO-311 into clinical development for the treatment of tinnitus.

The need to develop protein biomanufacturing platforms that can deliver proteins quickly and cost-effectively is ever more pressing. The rapid rate at which genomes can now be sequenced demands efficient protein production platforms for gene function identification. There is a continued need for the biotech industry to deliver new and more effective protein-based drugs to address new diseases. Bacterial production platforms have the advantage of high expression yields, but insoluble expression of many proteins necessitates the development of diverse and optimised refolding-based processes. Strategies employed to eliminate insoluble expression are reviewed, where it is concluded that inclusion bodies are difficult to eliminate for various reasons. Rational design of refolding systems and recipes are therefore needed to expedite production of recombinant proteins. This review article discusses efforts towards rational design of refolding systems and recipes, which can be guided by the development of refolding screening platforms that yield both qualitative and quantitative information on the progression of a given refolding process. The new opportunities presented by light scattering technologies for developing rational protein refolding buffer systems which in turn can be used to develop new process designs armed with better monitoring and controlling functionalities are discussed. The coupling of dynamic and static light scattering methodologies for incorporation into future bioprocess designs to ensure delivery of high-quality refolded proteins at faster rates is also discussed.

Can Croydon Escorts Turn You Gay
Croydon escorts confronting your sexuality?
A gay friend of my told me that he had been turned gay by Croydon escorts, they had in fact turned him off sex with women. I don't think that is true as being gay doesn't need to mean that you have been turned off sex by other women. Most gay people are not made gay, they are born that way. It is part of your genetic make up and is very unlikely to change. A lot of gay men are very proud to be gay but some of men only resist their natural urges.
Brian, who claims that he was turned gay by Croydon escorts, has instead been gay is entire life. He is a good friend of mine and I have never seen him look at a woman as we have been walking down the street together. He has always looked at men so I don't think it is fair of Brian to say that Croydon escorts turned him gay. This is just a poor excuse and it is part of his self defence mechanism. He says this to stop the hurt that he is feeling inside. The problem is that Brian feels guilty about being gay.
Did Croydon escorts turn Brian gay
Brian was brought up in Croydon by his rather strict mother and father. When he was fairly young, he discovered that he was attracted to other men. He was not interested in normal hetero sexual relationship at all but he was very frighten to tell his parents of his feelings. Brian did not want to to disappoint his parents and he was also very uncomfortable about the way he felt. As Brian got older he tried to form relationships with Croydon escorts has he had never been happy to form relationships with normal girls. Brian very foolishly thought that Croydon escorts might be able to cure him off his emotions, but the truth is that it only made it worse.
Brian had been dating Croydon escorts for a couple of months when he told me that he had started to feel repulsed by all Croydon escorts that he met. he was claiming that they were turning him gay. I told him that this simply wasn't true and I thought that he had been gay all his life. He just had not come out of the closet and acknowledged he was gay. It was clear that Brian was feeling bad about himself, but I could not do anything about it – he needed to heel himself.
I suggested that he found a gay help group and spoke to them about his problem. They would be able to put Brian in touch with his true feelings and sort out what was going on his head. At first he was very reluctant, but after a couple of months he did manage to be brave enough to get in touch with a group. Talking about how he felt made a huge difference, and Brian finally managed to realize that he was gay.
Recognising your own sexuality
Sometimes it can be difficult to identify our own sexual orientation. A couple of my friends who work as Croydon escorts THINK that they are bisexual, but they are not sure. My Croydon escorts friends feel that sometimes they are attracted to both men and women, and are struggling to identify with their sexuality. At the moment the media is full of news stories of bisexuality and the latest in thing seems to be bisexuality. It is widely recognised that media can influence our sexuality and may even lead to us identifying with a certain. However, as we grow up out sexuality can be fluid and it can take us a long time to recognise how we truly feel.
Croydon escorts discuss sexuality
Chatting to my Croydon escorts friends, I soon realised that they did not really know at all how they felt. They said that they felt attracted to women in a way, and they wanted to kiss them. At the same time they were not sure if they actually wanted to have sex with them. Attraction and sexuality are two different things and it can take us a long time to recognise that. I explained to my Croydon escorts friends that we might see a woman who is attractive, but do we really want to be with her? It is really important to recognise the difference.
Some scientists believe that our sexuality might be fluid. We may just be attracted to both sexes and it is just a natural part of life. I said to my Croydon escorts friends that they seem to be really quick to want to put a label on themselves, and encouraged them to find out what factors are influencing them. I asked my Croydon escorts friends to write down what they find attractive about men and what they find attractive about women.
The girls are quite young and left home early. Sometimes I wonder if some bisexual women, and perhaps even the Croydon escorts, are missing a mother's love. After all, a mother's love can be very expressive and include a lot of cuddling and kissing. A father's love is often a bit different, and may not include that much physical contact. It is vital to recognize what is missing out of your life, and I asked my Croydon escorts friends to try to identify that. How do they truly feel about the women and men in their lives?
Young people fall in love much easier and before the age of 20, I think I fell in love a couple of times per week. We may around this age find it difficult to control our feelings and emotions, and we get carried away with them. If, you are truly bisexual, you will be having strong sexual feelings about a person. You will probably be fantasising about having sex with them and perhaps even experiencing very sexually charged dreams.
If you are very concerned about your sexuality, it could be best to visit a counsellor. They will be able to help you to identify your emotions, and it might be a good way forward for my Croydon escorts friends.

About Me
Travelling to world in search of a place called home
After growing up in a small town in northern British Columbia I dreamed of getting out and seeing everything the world had to offer, and I am well on my way to accomplishing that goal. I have spent the last 5 years travelling to various countries doing everything from volunteering to tourism to working holidays, and I don't see myself settling down anytime soon.
I believe that life is only a temporary situation so why treat things like they are permanent. I would consider myself a global citizen and it is my firm belief that this world is here for everyone to enjoy.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
So far I have only had the opportunity to couchsurf five times and host once, but I really look forward to meeting many new people with more of these great experiences.
I love that CSing is about more than just finding free accommodation, it's also about meeting people and making every trip a memorable one. That's why the message boards are so great. There is always something happening no matter where you are in the world.
My interest are mainly photography, writing, and culture, but also extend to many other things that are far to numerous to list here.
- culture
- writing
- photography
- traveling
- socializing
- tourism
- volunteering
Music, Movies, and Books
I mostly enjoy rock but will listen to anything that is not country. Some of my favorite bands include The Black Keys, Fleetwood Mac, and Cage the Elephant.
As for books, I will pretty much read anything that is put in front of me. There is nothing more enjoyable to me than getting lost in a good book.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
The most amazing thing that comes to mind is the very first time I stepped off a plane and into Africa. Was I nervous? Of course! But the experience that followed cemented the love of travel that remains in my heart today. And 5 years later I'm still at it.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Fun conversation and a few interesting stories.
Countries I've Visited
Egypt, France, Greece, Kenya, Kuwait, Morocco, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, United Kingdom, United States
Countries I've Lived In
Canada, Tanzania, United Kingdom

I'm building a new site design AND moving hosts at the same time, but keeping the domain name the same...what are the best steps to accomplish this, including 301s so as not to lose domain authority?
To make it fun, I don't have much faith in the old host to cooperate during the transition. I also don't think I have the ability to move the site to the new host, to avoid moving the domain and the site at the same time. (Any suggestions on this welcome.)
I was thinking about:
- building the new website on wordpress on the new hosting account before changing anything with the current site.
- then when the site is ready, I'm at a loss where to start to ensure the old pages are redirected to the new site and host, and at what point I redirect the nameservers. I'd also like to change the site over in sections to test the redirects gradually if possible!
Any suggestions?

Can bile duct cancer be prevented?
Since the cause of bile duct cancer is uncertain, specific methods of prevention do not exist. However, preventing liver inflammation and cirrhosis may decrease the risk of developing this cancer. This includes moderating the use of alcohol, being vaccinated for the hepatitis B virus, and abstaining from risky behaviors that might cause infection with hepatitis C.
As with all diseases that tend to develop at an older age, living a healthy lifestyle may extend lifespan as well. This includes not smoking, eating a balanced diet, keeping physically active, and maintaining a healthy weight.
What are the statistics for bile duct cancer?
There are approximately 2,000 to 3,000 new cases of bile duct cancer diagnosed each year in the United States or 1 case per 100,000 people.
In patients who have bile duct cancer located in the liver hilum, 40% to 60% of patients undergo surgery that completely removes the tumor and the average survival is 24 months. For patients with tumor in the same location, but cannot be completely removed, average survival is 21 months.

The Dishonest Broker
Why Qatar's Peacemaking Shouldn't Be Trusted
For anyone who has been following Qatari foreign policy over the past decade, or has had a chance to read Article 7 of the country's 2003 constitution, which explicitly states that the country should strive to be an international peacemaker, Doha's recent attempts to mediate between Israel and Hamas should come as no surprise. Mediation has been the stock-in-trade of recent Qatari foreign policy; it made similar diplomatic forays in Yemen in 2007 and 2008, Lebanon in 2008, and Sudan in 2009 and 2010.
The political context underlying Qatar's latest diplomatic intervention, however, has exposed the risks inherent in its broader strategy. Doha's foray into Gaza comes amid a heated Saudi–Iranian proxy war across the Middle East and an ongoing dispute within an unprecedentedly polarized Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), of which Qatar is a part. Although Qatar's foreign policy has not changed, it is no longer going to be able to pose as a neutral arbiter.
Doha is clearly motivated by a belief that, at a time when the influence of traditional regional powers -- Egypt and Saudi Arabia above all -- is thought to be waning, it can gain ground on, or even surpass, its peers. Qatar's goal has been to endorse and sponsor the rise of political Islamists (specifically, the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates), which it sees as the region's largest and deepest political force, and thereby increase its own influence. Its public strategy for accomplishing that goal has been to present itself as a tireless

Mystery light sparks Seaton rescue alert
08:19 13 August 2014
Emergency services scrambled after fears that people might be trapped by the tide
A fisherman sparked a rescue alert off Seaton last night (Tuesday, August 12).
Coastguards were scrambled and the Sidmouth lifeboat launched a member of the public called police to report a flashing light on the shoreline west of the resort.
There was concern that this may be a person cut off by the exceptionally high tide.
Sidmouth Lifeboat put to sea and Beer Coastguard Rescue Officers met with the first informant on scene. Eventually, a local fisherman was located who confirmed that he had been using a light in that area.

Stephen Michael Clark
Game designer and hacker/builder. I'm not an anarchist; I'm a communist. Resident of the Mission district. Longtime Noisebridge community member, but initiating formal process to become associate member now in the current contexts.
Interested in: applications of advanced study of history and sociology to strategy game design. (Can the format of a video game be used to create an advanced 'model' applying game theory to historical probabilities and contingencies which would then attain a general social purpose for theoreticians or anyone wanting to learn about history?) Socio-political hacking and deconstruction of complex systems toward improved human efficiency. (From an anti-capitalist standpoint, in theory and praxis in relation to the system of law and property itself, which contains built-in 'exploits' for innovative tacticians. ie, the law and system can be 'hacked' metaphorically and with intentions from the highest social-ethical motives in regards to resolving social problems in contemporary America and San Francisco in contexts of ongoing systemic crisis.) Presently learning advanced programming languages at a reasonable pace. Bio-hacking: Finding ideal nutrition and rest/attention patterns toward maximum individual and social efficiencies for humans.

I understand and care deeply about Noisebridge as an improving work space and may have unique thoughts on ideal political pathways toward continuing improvement.
In the past I have enjoyed participating in advanced internet trolling but that has nothing to do with my activities at Noisebridge.
I also have a sociological interest in: the oti and irl intersections between state above-surveillance and 'black hat' hacker below-surveillance, including overt FBI staging of major hacking events in the recent past (Antisec).

Monday man Joe Milholland reports on another encounter—more a skirmish than a battle—in the never-ending War on Fun, in addition to delivering a few updates on academic policy. CCSC never fails to delight us!
"This thing makes me sadder than almost anything else," said Deantini at Sunday night's Columbia College Student Council (CCSC) meeting, referring to the lack of fun Columbia students have.
After CCSC President Benjamin Makansi brought up student responses in the Bacchanal survey that said Bacchanal was the one fun day of the year and noted the lack of fun Columbia students had compared to students at peer institutes, Deantini began speculating as to why.
"I actually had fun in college," he said, noting that this was possible for him even though he was the valedictorian of his class. He suggested the reason was generational, as his son, who attended UChicago and joined a fraternity, didn't have as much fun as Deantini did.
Fun, or the lack thereof, was one of many topics touched on by Deantini, along with Dean of Undergraduate Student Life Cristen Kromm, as they took questions from the council.
Class of 2016 President Saaket Pradhan asked about requiring lecture courses with mandatory discussion section to be worth 4 credits instead of 3. Deantini mentioned that the state's minimum standard mandates a minimum of one point per every 50 minute-hour of class, and that administrators have had some successes in convincing departments to up the amount of credits per class.

I. Union
The hum of brotherhood,
ice and cold
as though drawing a universe into oneself and collapsing it,
the plow and field in ancient memory, and now:
A declaration:
"I am the essence of myself, distilled and then diluted."
II. Displacement
Unbound, unwound,
gripped by a hand (not yet 21)
warmed as if by the sun (unseen)
(never felt) (foreign) (nameless)
and separation is almost sweet.
Felt rather than heard: Carman,
mythical and looming.
III. Use
And no man was denied his fair portion,
their eyes dark as whirlpools as Dionysus cast his spell of
veiling and unveiling.
Poured, chugged, consumed, swallowed, incorporated, assimilated,
devoured, taken, reconstituted, born, transformed, put
back together
was how it felt when the brash youths, swift of foot, took
of the essence and of the spirit and of the secret self,
once hidden behind layers of reserve, but now clearly
evident in spit and speech.
A joyful high note, unmuddled,
turned into the wailing of a
IV. Abandonment
the self now yearning through molecularities
the peculiar mixture that made up identity, fullness,
ease, happiness.
To be hollow is to be hollow is to be hollow,
limbs greeting empty spaces to discover
caught in transit forever
(between two floors and destinies)
caught in passing,
ephemeral and constant.
V. Agony
Disintegration and distance,
dust to dust:
cast out of brotherhood,
turned monster by the monstrous—
The plow and field in ancient memory.

Sustainability Representative Will Cybriwsky explained that unused alcohol from Casino Night, including unopened bottles, had to be poured down the drain because the university's alcohol license does not allow the university to keep unused alcohol after an event. The council is investigating how new policies could be implemented to minimize alcohol waste.
VP Policy Logan Donovan reports that the Columbia Libraries will be piloting a program where the graduate reading rooms on the 5th and 6th floors of Butler will be open during finals. This will add an additional 150 seats.

In this week's Cooking with Bwog, resident culinary expert and quasi-mixologist Matt Powell shows you how to make love potions for Valentine's Day out of the two most potent aphrodisiacs known to man—chocolate and alcohol!
I may not be a mixologist, but I've always liked to experiment with different kinds of drink combinations. It probably all started when I was young. My mom would catch me mixing her good perfumes and expensive spices in a large pitcher… Let's just say I've made some progress since then. At least my drinks are nontoxic now.
But seriously, these drinks would be perfect for your funny valentine. With a plenty of sweetness, they could be considered desserts in their own right. And they only take a split-second to make (as compared to the desserts from last week).
In this drink Amaretto paired with strawberry ice cream to create a milkshake-like dessert.

Though we probably can't see as many free exhibits nowadays, at least we'll be able to drink our underage art-deprived sorrows away. The CU Arts' latest initiative, CUlinary Arts, now gives Columbia students special deals at restaurants around the city – 12 out of 32 of which involve free alcohol, mostly in the form of free prosecco or champagne (an interesting choice of deals given the largely < 21 target population). However, the list features a decent range of budgets, cuisines and locations. There's SushiSamba for Japanese/Brazilian fusion, Ouest for American, French at DB Bistro Moderne and Indian at Bay Leaf. For the less geographically adventurous, Community, Mama Mexico and Sezz Meddi are also participating in the program. CU Arts, our palates and wallets thank you.

On Thursday evening, ABC News director of polling Gary Langer appeared on behalf of the Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy (ISERP) to deliver a lecture on the Whys and Wherefores of Newspolling. Lacey Harris-Coble, the Premiere Poobah of lecturehopping, reports.
Seen the real poll numbers on Obama's ratings post-SOTU? Bullshit – unless, of course, they came from ABC News and were inspected by its celebrated data cop, the Premier Poobah of newspolling, Gary Langer. A two-time News & Doc Emmy winner and a leader in the newspolling industry, Langer, a pleasant fellow, arrived on campus and did not hesitate to begin bashing the omnipresent Internet click-in polls, which he calls manufactured data that easily "acquiesces to biases."
That's right – the data on the news is not real data, says Langer, who claims to be one of the few men left in news with standards and who can allegedly guarantee news reporters good, credible data while "shit-canning the bad." To Langer, bad data is an epidemic spreading everywhere from CNN to The New York Times, the American Medical Association (AMA), and even occasionally ABC News itself (but only when the Good Morning, America hosts can do the fact-checking, of course). So where does this ubiquitous bad data come from? People like you! You've seen those pop-ups asking you to sign up to be an online survey-taker and get paid for it; well, some people actually do sign up, collectively completing thousands of surveys each day. The results of these convenience surveys are presented and sold to the news companies as accurate statistical fact, and the news companies in turn present the data as truth.

Drop those Jello shots, folks—the Columbia Bartending Agency has officially reopened after a several-month hiatus. Though the School of Mixology has offered its signature five-course, real-alcohol training programs for the past three seasons, the Agency, responsible for hiring out bartenders to private events, was asked to shut down temporarily after sending several students to an unlicensed warehouse party last fall.
Having conducted a rigorous internal review, the Agency has finally begun to re-train employees under a newly revised protocol. Managing director Bryan Wesley Reid believes the Agency to be far more comprehensive and organized than its previous incarnation, and newly instated administrative and pricing changes should help its services remain accessible to prospective clients. In addition, the School will run four evening courses as planned this October, and will continue to donate a portion of each student's $200 tuition to the America Reads and Community Lunch organizations through Community Impact.
Your days of drinking Schnapps straight from the bottle may be over. But then again, probably not.

A mild Sunday night meeting started off with some great news: the
Bacchanal College Days T-shirts had been universally praised and were in high demand. In true Columbia form, however, the only leftovers are extra-large. And speaking of Bacchanal, the Campus Life Committee had originally wanted to have a pre-concert festival was originally planned for Saturday, but were told that it "needed to be silent." George Krebs offered no further explanation other than that they had actually been considering a mime show.
The majority of the meeting was spent on familiar topics: meal plans and substance policies. After last week's hullaballoo, the upper class meal plan is no longer part of the Ferris Booth proposal. Those optional meal plans have already been adjusted by increasing the number of meals in most plans and adding "free meals" to each plan. In order to save the struggling venue, however, both sides are still pushing for John Jay-style swipe access. Breakfast would be priced from $6-7, lunch from $8-9, and dinner from $10-11. It would be a continuous swipe system (much like the system John Jay will transition to by 2010) and no, the food won't go down in quality, though portions may be reduced. Curses! (more…)

Much of last night's CCSC meeting split two ways was concerned with the CCSC Town Hall and College Days, with George Krebs and Robyn Burgess reminding the council members to come out. Actual news was little in evidence, with one exception:
VP for Policy Adil Ahmed, CC 2010 President AJ Pasuca, and CC 2010 VP Sue Yang reported on their Wednesday meeting with Dean Cristen Scully-Kromm, in which they discussed noise policies and other parts of the War on Fun. Yang told the council, "In terms of the noise policy, I feel we agreed there needs to be a more informal system for minor noise warnings to small groups." Currently, some RAs have logs differentiating for these, but there is no formal system for this approach: each complaint must be registered with ResLife.
Pascua noted that ""Dean Kromm expressed a strong willingness to move forward in the near future with CCSC. She'd prefer to work over the summer, rather than working hastily now." However, he also cautioned the council: "although Adil, Sue and I felt that we'd like a resolution as soon as possible, we felt some intransigence on the other side." Ahmed also expressed concern about the actual influence CCSC would have: apparently, Kromm told them that ResLife is already working on a new policy, but when the CCSC representatives asked to see it, Kromm refused, saying that the policy was "unconfirmed" and asked CCSC instead to submit their own ideas separately in writing. Hey, at least she's consistently secretive. (more…)

AQT ' A New Objective Measurement Of The Acoustical Quality Of Sound Reproduction In Small Compartments
The paper describes a new measurement technique of the acoustical quality produced by a sound system. The method is called AQT (Acoustic Quality Test), and produces a graphical representation of the dynamic response of the system to tone bursts at various frequencies. This makes it possible to visualize simultaneously the steady frequency response, the transient response and the signal-to-noise ratio. The new method revealed particularly useful for describing the performance of a sound system coupled with a small, noisy reproduction space, as it is the case for car audio systems.

Mr. Perez continues to push the "ethical business envelope". Quite frankly, I'm surprised a third party isn't managing this auction. If the entities interested in buying the patent portfolios don't meet the minimum cash reserves asked by the seller by a stated date then there is only one option: stop the auction and re-introduce the portfolios with different (much lower, obviously) cash expectations at a later date. EK, at this stage, may be delaying the inevitable...liquidation. Too bad...I love this company. I love what it did for Rochester. I love what it did for the USA. Shame on this Board of Mis Directors!

I have 3 categories that list the same content.
Price | Brand | Style
I don't want to include brand and style category in my sitemap, so I excluded them.
But when I do, all the posts within those categories do not show on the sitemap, even though the same posts are included in the Price Category which is enabled in the site map.
The only way the posts show up on the sitemap is if I do not exclude all 3 categories, which is what I do not want to do.
How do I solve this problem?
