WASHINGTON (AP) - The other body is not happy. And it's mutual.
The other body is what House members call the Senate when they are being polite. They weren't being polite Thursday.
House prosecutors have been complaining since the opening gavel that they've been handicapped in making their impeachment case against President Clinton at trial in the Senate, which would rather be doing something else.
No witnesses, no chance to question Monica Lewinsky in person, restrictions no prosecutor in a real trial would face - the prosecutors' complaint list went on and on.
Their frustration was showing even before the Senate voted 70-30 against summoning the central figure in the sex scandal.
"If we can't stomach to listen to inappropriate sexual conduct, then why do we put that burden on anyone else?" said Rep. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina. "Give us this witness. . .
"We will try to do it in a way not to demean the Senate," he said.
But the Senate told the Republican prosecutors no, agreeing only to their use of videotaped depositions by Lewinsky, Clinton's friend Vernon Jordan and White House aide Sidney Blumenthal when the final phase of the impeachment trial begins Saturday.
The Senate simply wants to be done with impeachment.
Rep. James Rogan of California huffed that any senator who has not watched the Lewinsky, Jordan and Blumenthal depositions, about eight hours of taped questions and answers, shouldn't be voting on Clinton's fate.
House members sometimes chafe at the standing senators accord themselves as the so-called upper chamber, and sniping across the Capitol is not uncommon. But indirectly. Rogan, however, was direct.
"And if one senator has failed to personally sit through this deposition and every deposition, that senator is not equipped to render a verdict on the impeachment trial of the president of the United States," he said.
Graham said he knows how difficult it is, "given where everybody is at in the country," which is against ousting Clinton despite his affair and lies about it.
"I want this to end as much as you do," he told the Senate. "However, there's a signal we're going to send if we don't watch it. We're going to make the independent counsel report the impeachment trial."
That's exactly what Democrats, and restive Republicans, don't like about the case. The House voted impeachment on Republican party lines on the basis of Kenneth W. Starr's investigation and accusations against the president. Their case is his case. When the House managers took it to the Senate, they said there had to be witnesses, a real trial.
Rep. Henry Hyde, the lead prosecutor, had complained earlier that the House prosecutors were not getting appropriate respect in the Senate proceedings. He said they were riding a tiger and couldn't get off until they were Done.
But senators don't want to get into that position with them.
And beyond that, perhaps, with voters. Republicans are worried that the impeachment case could echo into the 2000 elections.
That was showing in the final, futile appeal for testimony by Lewinsky.
"Permit us all to return to our districts, and you to your states, and tell our constituents that we considered the full and complete case," Rep. Ed Bryant of Tennessee said.

By R Alexander
Haruki Murakami writes short stories and big novels where weird things take on strange importance: a disappearing cat leads to a detective type adventure, ears are erotic, jazz and classical music beckons and have magically transformative properties, abandoned wells harbor mysteries. Metaphysics as meaning seems to loom over his work. With each book he writes and as the books get longer, greater and greater claims are made concerning their importance. His latest work, 1Q84, is being called his magnum opus, and a great work of world literature. The book is so long, in fact, that Random House hired two translators, Jay Rubin and Philip Gabriel, to work on it simultaneously so they could get it to press in a reasonable time.
1Q84 mainly concerns two people living in Tokyo in 1984 who, early in the novel, find themselves in a parallel or alternate universe. The novel's title refers to one of the character's name for the alternate universe. The "Q," in 1Q84, stands for "question," and there is apparently a sonic play on "Q" and "9" in the original Japanese, similar, I suppose to the orthographic play on or resemblance between the figures for "q" and "9" in English.
Aside from this little play on "Q" and "9" in the title, however, Murakami's prose style remains straightforwardly realistic. No GV Desani-style linguistic or cultural tom-foolery here. Murakami is well known for being the Japanese translator of Raymond Carver and F Scott Fitzgerald, and these influences, Carver's in particular, are not hidden. In1Q84, Murakami does not depart from his characteristic style and themes.
1Q84's two protagonists are Tengo Kawana and Aomame. Tengo, a math teacher and would-be fiction writer, crosses paths with the assassin Aomame, during an investigation into a religious cult. The story's action takes off when Tengo collaborates with a former cult member, a character called Fuka-Eri, in writing a novella that exposes the cult's sexual rituals which involve paedophilia. The name of the novella is Air Chrysalis, and much of 1Q84 involves the collaborative writing of Air Chrysalis and the cult's subsequent hunt for Tengo and Fuka-Eri and later also the hunt for Aomame, who assassinates the cult leader and goes into hiding separately. But this hardly gives the real sense of the work. While the plot generally follows the outline of a straightforward thriller, Murakami's baroque inventiveness twists the story into the bizarre. It is not simply that the book is set in a world that has two moons in the sky, where Japan has become a kind of police state, and where other "mirror universe" trappings appear, but there are the weird things that happen. The religious cult, for example, is based around a charismatic leader and his connection to "The Little People," a troop of vaguely menacing Leprechaun-like entities who emerge, the first time we see them, from a dead dog's mouth and who manipulate people and events.

Royal Power and DemocracyJust as people accepted the absolute authority of the Church, so they accepted the rule of the monarch. Nonetheless, the king relied on the nobles, especially those who were powerful, to uphold the system. The barons posed a real threat to the kings; therefore, they were treated with great respect. The story of King John and the signing of the Magna Carta at the end of the chapter clearly illustrates the power of the nobles. Eleanor of Aquitaine was the most famous person in Europe at the time. She held great influence as queen of both France and England and motehr of two kings of England, Richard the Lion-Hearted and King John. She was one of the first people to encourage writing by and about women. Read and take notes on pages 65-76 and answer questions 1-4 on page 67.
Medieval World View & the CrusadesMost people were undeducated and knew very little about the outside world as they never left the manor. It was either too dangerous or they were not allowed to leave the manor. Even those who did travel - kings, nobles, and the few traders - had limited knowledge of the world. Maps were rare and often innaccurate. World views were expanded, however, through the Crusades that began in the eleventh century. These holy wars began as a result of deep religious feeling and prejudice against the Muslims. Many people, both common and noble, journeyed on Crusades to fight the Muslims in the holy land. Although the Crusades did not take back the Holy Land from the Turks (Muslims), they did promote trade and an exchange of ideas that would eventually lead to the Rennaissance period in Western Europe. Read and take notes on pages 60-65 and answer the following questions:
The Legal System of Medieval EuropeNew laws and systems of justice helped people live cooperatively in the feudal system. Trial by ordeal or battle were common methods of justice. Three levels of courts emerged: manor courts, royal courts and church courts, each looking after different matters. For most people, the manor court was their only experience with the law. At times, the authority of the Church clashed with that of the monarch, as in the case of Henry II and Thomas Becket. Women continued to have few legal rights unless they were a widow. Read and take notes on pages 56-58 and use that information to create the comparison chart on page 59. You will need to follow the instructions on that page to create your chart and to write the paragraph comparing the different courts. You also need to answer questions 1 - 4 on page 59.
Religion in Medieval EuropeReligion dominated daily life. Churches were found in every village and cathedrals in most towns. People believed that they would be judged after death and to avoid eternal damnation they had to take part in various religious ceremonies. They accepted their positions in sosicety becuase they believed these were God's will, and some decidated themselve to God's work as monks, priests, nuns or even hermits. God's hand could be seen in the changing weather, the conditions of their health, or their general prosperity. The days of the calendar were dedicated to saints and all ceremonies had to be blessed to ensure success. Through the threat of excommunication, the Catholic Church had great power over the lives of all Medieval people. Not only did the Church guide the people spiritually; it also provided much needed services. The people were tied to the Church economically too, through taxes, or tithes. Read pages 54-56 and answer questions 1, 2, 3 and 4 on page 56.
The Feudal ManorThe manor was a self-sufficient agricultural community in which most of the population lived out their lives unaware of the outside world. The common people were either serfs or freeholders. Both groups were obliged to work long and hard days on the land and lived in modest conditions in their villages. The lord and lady of the manor lived in relatively large houses, attended by many servants. Life on the feudal manor was quite different depending on whether you were the noble or the commoners, women or men, farmers or tradespeople. Regardless of what purpose you served in feudal society everyone had to work together to make the manor self-sufficient in order for all of them to survive. Farming techniques such as the 3 field system of crop rotation and using manure as fertilizer were developed to help keep the land fertile so the manor could feed everyone and stay self-sufficient. Read pages 47 - 54 and answer the following questions:
You will also need to draw a diagram or map of a feudal manor. Below are the requirements for your assignment as well as the marking criteria. I have also included some pictures of feudal manors. REMEMBER: Don't just copy the pictures! Make your own map of a feudal manor (just remember to include all the essential parts).
The Feudal SystemIn Western Europe we see the development of the Feudal System during the Medieval period or High Middle Ages. William the Conqueror introduced Norman feudalism to England, stripping the English earls of their land and giving their lands to knights who had helped him at the Battle of Hastings. The feudal contract, a complex system of responsibilities and obligations between lord and vassal, was the basis of the feudal system. Large fiefs were divided into manors, each of which provided an income for the knight who was its lord. The lords, for their part, were obliged to fulfill their agreement with the king which included supplying the king with knights, serving in the king's army for a certain number of days, providing political advice to the king, giving money if requested, and pledging their loyalty to the king. Read pages 44-47 to learn more about what the feudal system was and how it worked. Answer the questions below and create your own feudal pyramid with the worksheet below:
To determine where in Europe were the best places for the Feudal system to develop you will need to use the map on page 49 and follow the instructions on the page to create your own map showing the best places for feudal manors to be found. The map is below:
We also read the following worksheet about the Feudal system and answered the attached questions:
The Bayeux TapestryThe Bayeux Tapestry was created by William the Conqueror to tell the story of his rise to power as the King of England. It explained how he was able to defeat Harold Godwinson in the Battle of Hastings in 1066, to take the crown of England. William was of Viking ancestry ruling over Normandy (originally settled by the Vikings) in what is modern day France. He was able to extend his influence and expand his empire to include England. He had the Bayeux Tapestry made after the battle to convince people that he was the rightful heir to the throne in England. The tapestry outlines the breakdown of his relationship with Harold who was crowned King of the Anglo-Saxons, explains feudal relationships, the preparations for war, the remarkable feat of sending over a large invasion fleet from France, and the battlefield tactics and technology used before William defeats Harold and becomes King of England.
After reading pages 38-42 in the textbook you need to answer questions 1 (13 points), 2 (4 points), 3 (2 points), 4 (7 points), and 6 (3 points) on page 42.
There are a couple of videos on YouTube that show what the Bayeux Tapestry looks like with all the panels telling the story. The first one is in Polish but you can see all the panels clearly. The second one is an animated version that shows half the panels that includes mostly the Battle of Hastings section of the Tapestry.
The VikingsThe Vikings came from the areas of Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and began to attack all parts of Europe, shattering the peace that had been created by Charlemagne. The Vikings' long, shallow ships allowed them to access all areas of Europe by travelling the rivers into the interior of the land. Their attacks were savage and brutal, killing or enslaving all they encountered. The increasing population in their homelands had put a strain on their resources requiring these farmers to seek out new lands they could take over. Many of the monarchs in England and France offered gold and silver to the Vikings to stop them from invading their territories, and eventually they had to give the Viking invaders land to enlist their help to defend the area against further Viking attacks. There is a video about the Vikings available below if you want to watch it to get a better understanding of the Vikings.
After reading pages 31-35 in the textbook you need to answer these questions:
You also need to read pages 3-7 to learn more about Vikings and answer these questions:
Here is the video about the Vikings. It's from YouTube and called "History Channel - Barbarians - Vikings."
Anglo-Saxons and the CeltsRead pages 27-30 in your textbook to find out what was happening in England during the Middle Ages and then answer questions 1, 2, 3a, 4, and 6 on page 30. Great Britain was populated by the native Celtic people who had settled there after being forced out of Europe by the Romans and other invaders. Remember that the Roman Empire had extended all the way to England (Hadrian's Wall in the north). After the fall of Rome in the fifth century Britain was invaded by the Angles, Saxons and Jutes from Germany who drove them further west into Wales, Cornwall, Scotland and Ireland. The invaders became known as the Anglo-Saxons, or English and they divided England into 7 kingdoms, leaving Wales, Cornwall, Scotland and Ireland to the Celts. In Ireland the Celts established monasteries whose purpose was to create books. Monks spent their time writing down the Latin, Greek and Celtic stories. They were able to preserve the cultural heritage of Rome, Greece and Ireland because their monasteries were not destroyed by the Vikings like so many others in the rest of Europe. England acted as a barrier to protect Ireland from invading forces. On the third page of the file below is a map that you should do using the map on page 29 to guide you.
The Franks and CharlemagneThe Franks were able to conquer the former Roman Empire territory of Gaul (modern France) and establish themselves there. The Merovingian royal family ruled for almost 300 years. Clovis was one of their most successful rulers from 481 - 511 C.E. He brought them the Roman Catholic religion uniting the people of France and established Paris as the capital. The Franks continued to have social classes with a small rich upper class and a large group of people who were serfs or peasants working on the lord's manor or estate. Althought they were free, they were at the mercy of the landowners for their farming. Charlemagne (Charles the Great) came to power in France in 768 C.E. after a series of weak Merovingian rulers. He was interested in expanding and rebuilding their civilization and brought about a Renaissance in Europe with improved laws, education and the arts. Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the Romans by the Pope. His empire was called the Carolingian Empire and lasted from 770-814 C.E. France continued to believe in Christianity and those who refused to convert were killed.
After reading pages 21-26 in the textbook you need to answer these questions:
The two worksheets we looked at to get a better understanding of the rise of Islam around the Mediterranean area and its impact on Europe as well as the rise of Charlemagne to power in Western Europe are below:
There is also a video on YouTube about the Franks that you can watch if you wanto to learn more about them.
The GothsWe will look at each of the major Barbarian tribes that played a part in the shaping of Europe in the Middle Ages. The first is the Goths who played a major part in bringing about the destruction of the Roman Empire as they escaped the advancing Huns. The Goths were able to bring about the first battle defeat of the Roman Empire in 400 years. The videos about the Goths are available at The Goths Glog if you need to watch them to finish answering the questions.
The Early Middle AgesWith the sacking of Rome there was no central ruling authority so Europe fell into disarray and entered the Early Middle Ages which were referred to as the Dark Ages. Throughout the Dark Ages, the only unifying force was the emergence of Christianity in Europe. If you missed watching the videos for the Middle Ages (The Sacking of Rome, The Waning Empire, The Common Thread of Christianity, The Empire Strikes Back, The Plague) you can go to the Middle Ages Glog to watch them in order to complete your notes and answer the questions (worksheets are below).
Comparison of Religions:When writing your compare and contrast paragraph about the three religions (Islam, Christianity and Judaism) you will need to include the following in your pargraph:
- introductory sentence and concluding sentence on your paragraph
- organize the information in your paragraph in either one of the following 2 ways:
- Discuss all similarities and then discuss all differences
- Discuss each religion's similarities and differences to the other religions (so it will be all Christian similarities and differences, then all Judaism and then all Islam in the paragraph).
It is your choice how you choose to organize your ideas, but you should plan your writing with an outline before writing your paragraph. You will also need to ensure you use transition words and phrases to help with the flow of ideas in your paragraph. (You have a worksheet in the writing section of your binder that was taught earlier in the year.) Remember to use good sentences with proper punctuation and edit for COPS.
Textbook:Some people may forget their textbook at school. If you did, there is an online version of the book (without all the pictures and text features) available here.

Dynamic Collective Choice with Endogenous Status Quo
This paper analyzes an ongoing bargaining situation in which i) preferences evolve overtime, ii) the interests of individuals are not perfectly aligned, and iii) the previous agreement becomes the next status quo and determines the payoffs until a new agreement is reached. We show that the endogeneity of the status quo exacerbates the players' conflict of interest and decreases the responsiveness of the bargaining outcome to the environment. Players with arbitrarily similar preferences can behave as if their interests were highly discordant. When players become very patient, the endogeneity of the status quo can bring the negotiations to a complete gridlock. Under mild regularity conditions, fixing the status quo throughout the game via an automatic sunset provision improves welfare. The detrimental effect of the endogeneity of the status quo can also be mitigated by concentrating decision rights, for instance, by lowering the supermajority requirement.

Placer County Courthouse, Auburn: 4 reviews and 12 photos
Before the formation of Placer County in 1851, this hilltop where the present courthouse now stands was the site of bull and bear fights and public hangings.
This is a grandiose three-story structure topped by a bracketed cornice and simple Renaissance Revival inspired dome. Beautiful stairs lead to a main second floor from both the north and south. This building is one of four surviving northern and central California courthouses which retain most of their architectural ornamentation and magnificent domes.

Hard Check Printing
By Tim Dexter-Oracle on Nov 14, 2007
Not to hark on about the session yesterday and upset those of you not here in Crazytown, USA but ... I weaved some time in for a few of the Oracle Partners that have been working feverishly to integrate with Publisher to get some 'talk time' with the folks in the room. As I mentioned in the session, historically reporting in EBS has been crappy to say the least. There was a yawning gap that was filled with many vendors - then Publisher came along and started to fill the void. Suddenly you as a customer did not need the third party - the writing was on the wall, a nice niche was closing up - time to 'adapt or die'. It was not meant as a marketing pitch and a few folks left the room which was a shame - these guys have embraced Publisher, invested time and money, adapted their own products and have moved with the times. They all have something to offer you that we do not yet cover. There was a strict 2 minute time slot - after that a big hook came out and dragged them off the stage a la Bong Show ... Im kidding, Im kidding. The solutions these folks have come up with really do tightly integrate with the publisher engine or its outputs and where Publisher has a gap they are well worth looking at.
Once such 'gap' is hardware secured check printing. I have blogged and white papered 'soft' methods for securing check signatures and MICR fonts but there are even more secure, hardware solutions out there. The images and fonts are held on a memory chip of some description that may plug into the printer or sit between printer and server. As of today - we can not 'talk' to the hardware to get the printer to pull the images/fonts from the memory chip - we're looking into it.
In the mean time you might check out Evergreen's solution - some of you may already have it - its a small box that sits between server and printer and has a removable SIMM card that holds the signatures and MICR font.
The folks at Evergreen now have a solution that will allow you to use Publisher to generate your check print run and then have the printer call the hardware and insert the appropriate signatures. This involves injecting printer escape sequences into a resulting PCL file generated from the Publisher PDF check document.
Its a neat solution that I think could be adapted to work with any SIMM module not just Evergreen's hardware. I have posted a paper Evergreen have written for more information here.

EBS R12 templates are here ... enjoy!
By Tim Dexter-Oracle on Feb 22, 2007
When it comes down to it, XMLP is a great reporting tool inside the E Business Suite but the greatest value is that offered by the products that use it and provide enhanced reporting functionality to their users. 11i10 got the ball rolling with the HRMS, Purchasing, Contracts, Advanced Collections and other teams moving some of their reporting functionality over to XMLP. In the case of Advanced Collections they jumped in a the deep end and based all of their reporting on XMLP including document delivery.
With the release of R12 you are going to see many more products taking advantage of the reporting gains XMLP offers them and ultimately you. The new Payments team are standardizing on a single extract and then providing you EFT formats (EText templates), Check formats (RTF Templates), the Global Finanacials teams have reduced the number of extracts they have and are shipping you layouts. But the most obvious thing to notice is the number of out of the box templates now available, roughly 870 templates across 60 or so teams means that there is a high chance the product as now developed the template you are interested in. So it should be a simple case of getting their template, copying it, customizing it and then deploying it - done.
I have generated a list of templates by product then by concurrent program available here. These are the templates shipping with the baseline R12 release. There is also a project going on to migrate the remainder of the Oracle Reports based concurrent programs to the XMLP platform, slated for release later this year you'll have more than 2000 templates available ... having met many of you and discussed the canned reports you either use none of them or very few and those you have to customize ... hopefully with this many templates available life will become easier for you.
What of your own custom reports, how can you migrate those? Well in R12 there are a set of libraries to help you move your Oracle Reports to a data template (extract) plus a layout template (RTF) ... the libraries are being used internally to convert the canned reports so they have been put through their paces ... more on this in another future post.
Hey, Im an 11i customer what do I get?
Well one of the carrots to come to R12 is the better reporting and the number of templates available. There are tentative plans to build a Template Bank on metalink to allow you to download development delivered templates, hopefully consulting templates and even other customer templates ... this is all still on the drawing board but a distinct possibility. With the 5.6.3 release, coming soon, you also get the migration libraries to help you move your own Oracle Reports. Of course if you can find a friendly R12 customer and do some template negociation and you're off to the races, hey we'll have an gray market in template swapping before you know it.

EDT vs PerfumeI think most ofthe buyers expect this to be a perfume.But this is a EDT .Perfumes normally a concentrated mixture & come in smaller bottles.Eau De Toilette which is a lesser concentration of Perfume,comes in bigger bottles.Hence some people who expect the fragrance to stay longer end up being disappointed.

My ass and legs have gotten only bigger with the lifting which makes me look more ape-shaped than I naturally do ( long limbs while being really short and wide ). I wouldn't say they are fat as most of my body fat is around my middle still.
My old track coach used to say look at all the sprinters and don't be ashamed of the booty. Whenever I have gals who are getting self conscious about their thighs and rear, I tell them this ( as gymnasts tend to develop big thighs and glutes in some gymnasts ). I'm not even talking about cottage cheese thighs and big muscles ( as in some of the college gals ) but just big muscles period.

Rehabilitation of Raw Water Reservoir for Franklin WTP
Company Reference:
The city of Franklin, Tenn.—a suburb of Nashville—initiated a rehabilitation project for its existing 35-acre raw water reservoir to fix leaks caused by several deep fissures in the earthen basin. Because of the leaks, the reservoir ran completely dry during an extended drought season. When the Tennessee government released economic stimulus dollars, this site was among the top ten projects earmarked to receive funding. After a failed attempt at using a natural clay liner, the city selected a potable water grade geomembrane to solve its water containment issues. This paper will go over the reservoir history, sizing options, liner material options, the construction overview and lessons learned during the project.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- A teenager who admitted dousing a Florida middle school classmate with alcohol before the boy was set on fire says the alleged ringleader offered him money to do it.
Denver Colorado Jarvis testified that 17-year-old Matthew Bent offered him $5 or $10 to pour the flammable liquid on the victim, Michael Brewer. Jarvis is serving prison time after pleading no contest to attempted second-degree murder charges.
Another teenager, Jesus Mendez, also pleaded no contest and admitted flicking a lighter that set Brewer ablaze in October 2009. He also was sentenced to prison.
Bent, also 17, faces up to 30 years behind bars if convicted. Prosecutors say he had a dispute with Brewer over a purported debt and alleged bike theft attempt.
Brewer survived after leaping into a swimming pool.

When the vibrant, beloved Miss Peggy began the agonizing descent into the darkness of dementia, her family faced what an estimated 35.6 million people around the world live with each day. Moving Miss Peggy: A Story of Dementia, Courage and Consolation by Robert Benson is an intimate look at what dementia means for a family how do you organize your mother's new life, how do you move her from her cherished home how do you come to terms with the fact that the woman who, as Benson writes, once seemed to hold the whole world in her hands, now does not know the day of the week? With his signature style, Benson's artistic touch lends a warmth and softness to a harsh reality in this powerful story.

text: O's creative director, Adam Glassman, tells you what your best friends won't.Q: Are there long summer dresses out there that are relaxed but don't look like beach coverups? A: I am loving the maxidress this summer. It's loose, cool, stylish—and you don't need to fret about whether or not your legs will survive public scrutiny. Don't pick anything too gauzy, or it will look weird on dry land; an opaque jersey or cotton is good. And it shouldn't be oversize: Balance the skirt's length and volume with a fairly fitted, not-too-bare bodice so you feel properly dressed. This is a terrific choice for hosting a party or going to one (with jeweled slides and lots of bracelets or beads), but you could also throw it on for running around town (just add a slouchy bag and flip-flops or flats).

- General Information About Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia
- Stages of Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia
- Treatment Option Overview
- Treatment Options for Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia
- To Learn More About Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cancer

- About This PDQ Summary
- Get More Information From NCI
This summary is about adult AML. See the following PDQ summaries for information about other types of leukemia:
- Childhood Acute Myeloid Leukemia/Other Myeloid Malignancies Treatment
- Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Treatment
- Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treatment
- Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treatment
- Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Treatment
- Hairy Cell Leukemia Treatment
There are different subtypes of AML.
Most AML subtypes are based on how mature (developed) the cancer cells are at the time of diagnosis and how different they are from normal cells.
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a subtype of AML that occurs when parts of two genes stick together. APL usually occurs in middle-aged adults. Signs of APL may include both bleeding and forming blood clots.
Smoking, previous chemotherapy treatment, and exposure to radiation may affect the risk of adult AML.
Anything that increases your risk of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. Talk with your doctor if you think you may be at risk. Possible risk factors for AML include the following:
- Being male.
- Smoking, especially after age 60.
- Having had treatment with chemotherapy or radiation therapy in the past.
- Having had treatment for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in the past.
- Being exposed to radiation from an atomic bomb or to the chemical benzene.
- Having a history of a blood disorder such as myelodysplastic syndrome.
Signs and symptoms of adult AML include fever, feeling tired, and easy bruising or bleeding.
The early signs and symptoms of AML may be like those caused by the flu or other common diseases. Check with your doctor if you have any of the following:
- Fever.
- Shortness of breath.
- Easy bruising or bleeding.
- Petechiae (flat, pinpoint spots under the skin caused by bleeding).
- Weakness or feeling tired.
- Weight loss or loss of appetite.
Tests that examine the blood and bone marrow are used to detect (find) and diagnose adult AML.
The following tests and procedures may be used:
- Physical exam and history: An exam of the body to check general signs of health, including checking for signs of disease, such as lumps or anything else that seems unusual. A history of the patient's health habits and past illnesses and treatments will also be taken.
Complete blood count (CBC): A procedure in which a sample of blood is drawn and checked for the following:
- The number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
- The amount of hemoglobin (the protein that carries oxygen) in the red blood cells.
- The portion of the sample made up of red blood cells.
Complete blood count (CBC). Blood is collected by inserting a needle into a vein and allowing the blood to flow into a tube. The blood sample is sent to the laboratory and the red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are counted. The CBC is used to test for, diagnose, and monitor many different conditions.
- Peripheral blood smear: A procedure in which a sample of blood is checked for blast cells, the number and kinds of white blood cells, the number of platelets, and changes in the shape of blood cells.
Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy: The removal of bone marrow, blood, and a small piece of bone by inserting a hollow needle into the hipbone or breastbone. A pathologist views the bone marrow, blood, and bone under a microscope to look for signs of cancer.
Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. After a small area of skin is numbed, a Jamshidi needle (a long, hollow needle) is inserted into the patient's hip bone. Samples of blood, bone, and bone marrow are removed for examination under a microscope.
- Cytogeneticanalysis: A laboratory test in which the cells in a sample of blood or bone marrow are viewed under a microscope to look for certain changes in the chromosomes. Other tests, such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), may also be done to look for certain changes in the chromosomes.
- Immunophenotyping: A process used to identify cells, based on the types of antigens or markers on the surface of the cell. This process is used to diagnose the subtype of AML by comparing the cancer cells to normal cells of the immune system. For example, a cytochemistry study may test the cells in a sample of tissue using chemicals (dyes) to look for certain changes in the sample. A chemical may cause a color change in one type of leukemia cell but not in another type of leukemia cell.
- Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction test (RT-PCR): A laboratory test in which cells in a sample of tissue are studied using chemicals to look for certain changes in the structure or function of genes. This test is used to diagnose certain types of AML including acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

Today I bring the disappointing news that Canonical will no longer be funding my work on Kubuntu after 12.04. Canonical wants to treat Kubuntu in the same way as the other community flavors such as Edubuntu, Lubuntu, and Xubuntu, and support the projects with infrastructure. This is a big challenge to Kubuntu of course and KDE as well.

Or as they say in Spanish: año nuevo, vida nueva. Well, or not. My new year started the 1st December actually, when I got my engineering degree, but Ill talk about the project some other day.
Today Id like to talk about my new job at Netrunner, where I started some days after my graduation.
There I have been working on a KCM module to configure your GTK2/3. To do so, I took Chakras kcm and reworked it a little to behave like I wanted to. Now that were here, big thanks to the Chakra crowd, specially Manuel Tortosa and José Antonio Sánchez, who let me fiddle with their project.

We are proud to announce the immediate release of Kdenlive 0.8.2. We encourage all users to upgrade.
For this release, we did put a lot of energy into bug fixing and stability (more than 140 issues solved) to bring you a better editing experience. We have solved a lot of project corruption issues, and the introduction of the automatic backup feature means you should hopefully enjoy Kdenlive better than ever!
Among the features improvements, the proxy clips (clips replacing the original ones when editing a format that is too slow to edit, for example AVCHD) should work fine now, HDMI capture should also be improved (feedback welcome) and some GUI multi threading should make operations a bit smoother.

I want to thank all users who tested our beta version and release candidates and ensured by that a regression free update. I am very glad on how smooth this major transition of the compositor seems to work according to the very low number of bug reports in this cycle.
On Mesa enabled desktop systems there is also the possibility to go a step further and leave GLX completely behind by compiling KWin for OpenGL ES/EGL only.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- KeyCorp ( KEY) of Cleveland and Huntington Bancshares ( HBAN) of Columbus, Ohio, were the losers among the nation's largest banks on Friday, with both stocks seeing 3% declines. KeyCorp's shares closed at $10.41, while Huntington closed at $7.53. Please see TheStreet's recent coverage for analysts' thoughts on KeyCorp as an interest rate and efficiency play, and Huntington as another solid stock to hold as interest rates rise. The broad indices all ended with 1% declines, while the the KBW Bank Index ( I:BKX) sank 2% to close at 60.16. Investors are focused on the upcoming meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee on June 18 to 19, which will be followed by an announcement on Federal Reserve stimulus policy. The central bank has kept the short-term federal funds rate in a range of zero to 0.25% since late 2008, and the FOMC has said repeatedly that it would be "appropriate" to keep the federal funds rate in the current range until the U.S. unemployment rate falls below 6.5%, assuming inflation is kept in check. The Federal Reserve has also been expanding its balance sheet through monthly purchases of $85 billion in long-term securities since September, in an effort to hold long-term rates down. The market had anticipated a curtailment of bond-buying by the Fed, sending the yield on 10-Year U.S. Treasury bonds up by 55 basis points from the end of April through Wednesday, when the 10-year was yielding 2.25%. But the 10-year yield has reversed course the past two days, pulling back to 2.13% Friday afternoon. Friday's economic reports did nothing to fuel the fires for a slowing of Federal Reserve stimulus, and indicated little in the way of inflationary pressure. The Federal Reserve reported that the level of U.S. industrial production was unchanged during May, following an upwardly revised decline of 4% during April. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters had expected a 0.2% increase in production during May. Capacity utilization rose to 77.6% in May from a downwardly-revised 77.7% in April. On average expected utilization to rise to 77.9% during May. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the producer price index gained by a greater than expected 0.5% in May after falling 0.7% in April. Economists on average expected the PPI to increase 0.1%. The core PPI held steady at 0.1%, as expected.

Beautyful building!
I don´t know why, but in my eyes this is one of the most beautyful buildings in NY. Maybe it is so oldish, and it´s little bit different than the others, because of it´s interesting shape.
I don´t know would it been possible to visit it inside, but watching it outside was allready interesting. And I took a lot of photos...

Flatiron Building
The Flatiron Building is a product of its location. At the intersection where the diagonal of Broadway slashes through the north-south of 5th Avenue, a tight, triangular patch of land became home to one of New York's iconic buildings. Designed by the great Daniel Burnham, the architect behind the Chicago World's Fair, it joined the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower as the only skyscrapers north of 14th Street in 1902. They both overlooked Madison Square Park.
It's an eye-catching design. Its slender nose peeks out across the thundering lines of pedestrian and about 14 lanes of traffic, offering views from the front office up 5th Avenue towards the Empire State Building. The exquisitely detailed terracotta walls stretch up 22 steel reinforced stores to its crown over above meters above. It was originally called the Fuller Building, after its owners, but the shape caught the imagination and the nickname "Flatiron" eventually became official.
It wasn't the tallest building of the time, nor the first triangular building, but it is special in the eyes of many, and a beloved icon of New York.
Address: 175 5th Avenue
Directions: Take the R/N to 23rd Street.
Wonderful Architecture
I may not be well-educated in architecture, but I do appreciate it. The flatiron building is a beautifully designed and executed piece of art. Even the way it splits the roads is beautiful.
I can't help but wonder if the Culver hotel in Culver City, Los Angeles was inspired by this building.
A President in Madison Square Park
"I may be president of the United States, but my private life is nobody's damned business."
— Chester A. Arthur (1830-1886)
This monumental bronze of Chester Alan Arthur, 21st president of the United States, is the work of sculptor George Edwin Bissell (1839-1920).
Commissioned by the Friends of Chester Alan Arthur at a cost of $25,000, the monument was dedicated on 13.June.1899. James Brown Lord, architect for the overall project, designed the polished, black Barre granite base. The likeness of Arthur, wearing a frock coat and standing next to an armchair, was cast in 1898 by the Henry-Bonnard Bronze Company of New York.
During the Civil War, Arthur, a staunch abolitionist, served as inspector-general and then quartermaster, in charge of providing equipment, clothing, and supplies to troops in New York. Following President James A. Garfield's assassination in 1881, as Garfield's vice president, Arthur assumed the presidency. He was the first president since George Washington to take the oath of office in New York City. Two highlights of Arthur's presidency was the successful passage of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1883, and his veto of legislation that would have limited Chinese laborer immigration. After Arthur failed to win the Republican Party's nomination in 1884 he returned to New York City.
Monuments to some of Arthur's contemporaries, Roscoe Conkling, at the southeast corner, and Secretary of State William Seward, at the southwest corner, may be found in Madison Square Park. Augustus Saint-Gaudens' monument to Admiral Farragut stands at the northern end of the park's central axis.

Flat Iron-Realy Triangular
The triangular plan was unique in its time, and even today. It is located on Fifth Ave and close to Madsion Square. The completion in 1902 made it one of the highest buildings in the area, with 22 stories and sturctural steel frame for hard support. DAniel Burnham was the architect on the job

The Flatiron Building
"I found myself agape, admiring a skyscraper — the prow of the Flatiron Building, to be particular, ploughing up through the traffic of Broadway and Fifth Avenue in the late-afternoon light."
— H.G. Wells (1866-1946)
Mr. Wells captured the feelings of many in 1906, when they first glimpsed the Flatiron Building.
Located at 175 Fifth Avenue the Fuller Building, more popularly known as the Flatiron Building, is famous for its triangular footprint. This design maximizes its wedge-shaped site, where Fifth Avenue meets Broadway at 23rd Street.
Built between 1901 and1902, directly across from Madison Square Park, tradition tells us that the building inspired the phrase "23 skiddoo." It was believed that the building's shape created updrafts that lifted the skirts of women passing on 23rd Street. When men gathered for a glimpse, police moved them along by saying, "Hey, you, 23 skiddoo!"
When completed in 1902, it was one of New York City's very first examples of the skyscraper. Standing at only 285 feet, Daniel F. Burnham and Company of Chicago, used 3,680 tons of steel, to be exact in its design.
It is an office building, a place of business; therefore, you cannot go in, except for the lobby. You can admire the lavish, detailed, stone decoration of its façade.

First generation skyscraper
Another architectural icon (isn't this such an overused word?) is - drum roll please - the Flatiron Building!
But the building's history and role in the evolution of building techniques make this building truly iconic. It was not only designed by that famous Chicago architect, Daniel Burnham (the same American architect that was commissioned to design the Philippine cities of Manila and Baguio), but it was one the first buildings in New York to use steel frame that enabled it to be built to 22 storeys (based on some historians, the conventional belief that the steel frame was first used in the Flatiron Building is not true; there are other buildings that were built in the 1890s that utilized the steel frame.
Even if the Flatiron Building is not what it claims to be, that is, New York's first true skyscraper, it is still worth a visit and you really can't avoid because of its very strategic location at the convergence of Fifth Avenue and Broadway.

The first Skycraper in the world
It is not well known among tourists, or those, who are not interested in historical architecture. the 22-story Flatiron Building designed in the Beaux-Arts style, is a favorite of New Yorkers. It is considered the first and the oldest surviving Skycraper with its height of 87 m though in fact the Park Row Building is older and taller.
When completed, the Fuller Building, as it was originally known, caused a sensation. Architect Daniel Burnham made ingenious use of the triangular wedge of land at 23rd Street, 5th Avenue, and Broadway, using a revolutionary steel frame. Covered with a limestone and white terra-cotta skin in the Italian Renaissance style, the building was called Flatiron because of its shape resembling a clothing iron. During construction some thought it would fall over and the building was nicknamed Burnham's Folly.
The wind-tunnel effect around the building became also popular, groups of men would gather, to watch women walking by have their skirts blown up.
The building originally housed a restaurant and an observation deck on the 21st floor, now are long closed to the public.
It was featured in the Spiderman movies as the office of the newspaper, the Daily Bugle.
Today you can visit only the small lobby to look at photos, but otherwise the building is best enjoyed from Madison Square, across the street. The lobby is located in the middle of the long facades, with entrances from both sides to publishing houses and stores, such as Zara, Bebe, BCBG and H & M for younger shoppers.

Flatiron Building
The Flatiron Building was considered to be one of the first skyscrapers ever built, in 1902 it was one of the tallest buildings in New York City.
The Flatiron Building was designed by Chicago's Daniel Burnham in the Beaux-Arts style. Like a classical Greek column, its limestone and glazed terra-cotta façade is divided into a base, shaft and capital. It is 22 stories high, the triangular vertex tower is only 6.5 feet wide; viewed from above, this 'pointy' end of the structure describes an acute angle of about 25 degrees. The strong downdrafts in this area were reputed to raise women's skirts as they passed.
The building, which took its name from the triangular lot on which it was built – the Flatiron block, so called because it was shaped like a clothing iron. My Grandfather told me that the building is said to coin the phrase "23 skidoo", from what cops would shout at men who tried look under women's dresses being blown up by the winds swirling around the building due to the strong winds.

The Flatiron Building
One of New York's most admired buildings, the Flatiron Building is certainly unique due to its very slender figure. It takes its name from its unusual triangular-shaped lot on which it was built, resembling a flatiron (pronounced "flat-iron" = an old fashioned iron). It was built in 1902, and with its 87 metre height, it was the world's highest building until 1909, when the neighbouring Metropolitan Life Tower was constructed. The Beaux-Arts design, with Neoclassical influences, is by the architect, Daniel Burnham, who designed numerous landmark buildings around the United States and beyond, including Union Station in Washington, DC. The Flatiron building is located at a strategic intersection, just south of Madison Square Park, on 23rd Street at the point where Broadway and Fifth Avenue meet. The area immediately surrounding the building has become known as the Flatiron District.

Pointy Building
Considered odd and kind of goofy when it was built by Daniel Burnham in 1902 (it was once called Burnham's Folly), this limestone clad building was one of New York's first skyscrapers and is now one of the city's icons. To some it evokes the presence of a large oceanliner as you see it while driving down Broadway.
An interesting fact is, however that the first (although somewhat smaller) Flat Iron building was built in downtown Atlanta 5 years earlier, which was completed in 1897.

An early skyscraper
After our visit to New York's newest skyscraper, the Hearst Tower (see above), we headed to one of its oldest, the Flatiron Building. When it was constructed in 1902 this was one of the tallest buildings in New York City and is considered one of the first skyscrapers.
The building famously took its name from the shape forced on it by the triangular lot it was built on, just like a clothes iron. It is constructed in the Beaux Arts style, with a limestone and glazed terra-cotta façade over a steel skeleton (one of the first buildings to be built by this method, which is why it could be so much higher than most at the time). It had been cleaned up since our previous visit to the city and I was pleased to see that the elaborate detailing on the terracotta was so much easier to pick out and admire (see photo 3).
Do go into the lobby to see the small exhibition there about the building's history, with lots of fascinating old photos. When it was first built many people thought that its ultra-thin shape would lead it to blow down in the first strong wind, and placed bets on how far the debris would spread. The author H.G. Wells was impressed however:
"found myself agape, admiring a skyscraper – the prow of the Flatiron Building, to be particular, ploughing up through the traffic of Broadway and Fifth Avenue in the late-afternoon light."
While more recent and probably more spectacular skyscrapers have somewhat inured us to such sights, you will still be impressed I think by the striking shape of the Flatiron Building and it's a great example of early New York architecture.

Flatiron Building
When this building went up in 1902 it was considered to be one of the first skyscrapers a bit of a laugh by todays standards. It is a 21 storey limestone & glazed terra-cotta building nicknamed Burnhams Folly. It is extremely narrow 6 feet across is the narrowest point. The phrase 23 skidoo came from this area with ladies skirts blowing up in this particular area.

The Skyscraper
The Flatiron Building was one of the tallest buildings in New York City upon its completion in 1902 and is considered one of the first skyscrapers. It was designed by Chicago's Daniel Burnham in the Beaux-Arts style.
I do think this is a great building and a milestone in architecture and engineering.

- Architecture
Constructed in 1902 & one of the first buildings to use a steel frame, the building soon became known as the Flatiron due to its unusual shape.
It is an amazing sight when you see it up close for the first time.
