The Cancer Genome Atlas Pan-Cancer Project
Yesterday the paper describing TCGA Pan-Cancer Project was published in Nature Genetics. We've had the opportunity to participate in this exciting project and here I would like to explain our experience and contribution to it.
We have been interested for quite a while in the study of patterns of genomics alterations in cancer across tumor types. Thus a project like the TCGA Pan-Cancer provided a unique opportunity to apply our tools and expertise to a unique collection of data.
In the past few years we have developed computational methodologies to identify cancer drivers by analyzing the patterns of somatic mutations across tumors (i.e OncodriveFM and OncodriveCLUST) as well as tools to facilitate the visual exploration of multidimensional cancer genomics datasets (i.e. Gitools, IntOGen, see our review on this topic if you are interested in this), we now had the opportunity to apply those tools to TCGA Pan-Cancer data.

|Series Billing

Natalie Green is a fictional character from the sitcom The Facts of Life. She was portrayed by actress Mindy Cohn throughout the series run and in the 2001 reunion movie.
Basic Information
"I'd rather be a happy Magic Marker than a skinny pencil," says chubby Natalie— and she means it. Even though she did not fit the mold of a traditional beauty, Natalie was involved in many storylines regarding sex. In an early episode, she dated a boy who spread a rumor that Natalie was easy. In another episode, whilst coming home from a costume party she was nearly the victim of a sexual assault. Toward the end of the series in that controversial episode, "The First Time", she became the first of the girls to have sex when she slept with her boyfriend Snake on their one-year anniversary.
Natalie was a budding writer and wrote for the Eastland School newspaper. She graduated Eastland in 1985. However, she doesn't go to college immediately and takes a year off to travel across the country on a bus. Her family and friends were initially dismayed, because she turned down an admission offer from Princeton University to go "Greyhound." After a year, Natalie decides to attend Langley College, and became a reporter for the local newspaper in Peekskill. She went to New York City towards the end of the series and decided to stay and pursue her writing career. On the episode in which Natalie visits the SOHO loft she will eventually call home, her future roommates include Richard Grieco and David Spade. (The episode, which aired in 1988, was originally set up for Mindy Cohn to transition into a spinoff series, but the plans never materialized). In the TV-movie, The Facts of Life Reunion, she is with her boyfriend and has a run-in with her ex. Her current boyfriend then proposes to her by phone.
Natalie was the only one of the girls who was adopted. In one episode, Blair successfully tracked down Natalie's birth mother, but Natalie — who realized that her adoptive parents were her true parents, even though they weren't biologically related to her — refused to answer the phone and hear the results of the search, instead inviting her friends to taste the cake "my mother made." However, thanks in part to an argument with her adoptive mother during a 1982 episode, the subject arose once again, and it would be her adoptive mother who would finally reveal to Natalie who her biological mother was. Natalie tracked her down and met her, but as before, she still considered the mother who had raised her, her true mother, even after sharing with her the meeting she had with her biological mother.

A slightly strange hotel meadering around some gardens and semi-indoor floorbeds, this hotel is situated 15mins from the International terminal around 3500-4000N by taxi.
Checkin is freindly and budget rooms around 17-19000N competitively priced for Lagos. The rooms have all recently been repainted and are always clean and insect free. The fittings are a little shaky, but TV works, wi-fi in all rooms and there is a really nice pool at the back, and always empty. Beyound one 'algae' period a year ago I've swam here for the past eight years with no problem. Forget the advertised gym however its a store room now.
The restaurant serves beer and both western and african food. Service can be excruciatingly slow, but once it comes its good fare. Fish/Chicken and chips a good choice, and ketchup available, but the egusi soup and pounded yam has the edge, and a lot more filling.
The hotel can change money at good rates and has a taxi to the airport, (ask for 'chairman') .
The taxi is more of an experience than an a car, but he means well..
Overall a good choice for a budget stay and relaxing. Always ask for a room at the rear overlooking the pool, as the standard side rooms overlook a generator house, and front rooms get the noise of traffic and the railway. REMEMBER this is a locally owned hotel and has the whimsy of such, but with the pool, its a safe port in the storm of Lagos.

Can primary care data be used to monitor regional smoking prevalence? An analysis of The Health Improvement Network primary care data
Accurate and timely regional data on smoking trends allow tobacco control interventions to be targeted at the areas most in need and facilitate the evaluation of such interventions. Electronic primary care databases have the potential to provide a valuable source of such data due to their size, continuity and the availability of socio-demographic data. UK electronic primary care data on smoking prevalence from The Health Improvement Network (THIN) have previously been validated at the national level, but may be less representative at the regional level due to reduced sample sizes. We investigated whether this database provides valid regional data and whether it can be used to compare smoking prevalence in different UK regions.
Annual estimates of smoking prevalence by government office region (GOR) from THIN were compared with estimates of smoking prevalence from the General Lifestyle Survey (GLF) from 2000 to 2008.
For all regions, THIN prevalence data were generally found to be highly comparable with GLF data from 2006 onwards.
THIN primary care data could be used to monitor regional smoking prevalence and highlight regional differences in smoking in the UK.
Robust regional data on smoking prevalence are important for monitoring regional trends in smoking and evaluating the impact of national and regional tobacco control interventions. Currently, few large-scale high-quality regional data on smoking prevalence in the UK are available. The main source of regional prevalence data in the United Kingdom (UK) is national survey data. The General Lifestyle Survey (GLF), the current 'gold standard' for measuring smoking prevalence in Great Britain, has highlighted significant variation in smoking prevalence across the British regions
The Health Improvement Network (THIN) (
We therefore carried out a validation study comparing estimates of regional smoking prevalence from THIN with those from the GLF to assess whether THIN data can be used to monitor regional variation and trends in smoking prevalence.
The version of THIN used in this study contains the primary care records of approximately 8 million patients from 446 general practices in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, of whom 3.2 million are currently registered with a practice and can be followed prospectively; retrospective data is available for the remaining patients who have since either died or transferred from THIN practices. Prospective medical records are recorded using the Vision general practice computer system software, and serve as the primary medical record for the practice. GPs are able to record diagnoses, demographic information, lifestyle characteristics (such as smoking status) and other medical information. The dataset represents approximately 6% of the UK population
Currently, the main source of statistics for monitoring smoking prevalence in Britain is a national, annual survey, the GLF
The GLF covers England, Wales and Scotland only; therefore, the validation of the regional THIN prevalence data did not include data from Northern Ireland. The GLF surveys people aged 16 and over only and therefore under 16s were also excluded from this study. GLF data from 2000 to 2008, stratified by government office region (GOR), were used in this study.
For each year from 2000 to 2009 all live patients who were over the age of 16 and registered with a practice on an index date of 1st July of that year were identified from the THIN dataset and stratified by region. THIN data are regionally stratified by Strategic Health Authority (SHA). SHAs are coterminous with GORs, except that the South East region is divided into two: South Central and South East Coast. The THIN data for these two SHA regions were therefore combined. Patients who registered with a practice within the previous three months were excluded from this analysis (the GP contract requires that the smoking status of newly-registering patients is recorded within three months for this recording to be financially rewarded). The prevalence of smoking each year was calculated from the data recorded in medical records. All records of smoking status, identified by relevant Read Codes (a hierarchical dictionary of medical nomenclature
The way in which estimates of smoking prevalence are obtained are clearly very different in THIN and the GLF; however, the previous validation of THIN smoking prevalence data also used the GLF as a comparator and found that the estimates were comparable from 2006, suggesting that it is appropriate to compare these two data sources
The sampling method of the GLF is designed to produce regionally representative estimates of smoking prevalence

Annual estimates of smoking prevalence in the different regions based on THIN were compared graphically with point estimates, and confidence intervals around those estimates, from the GLF, to assess whether regional estimates of prevalence in THIN are similar to those from the GLF. Confidence intervals were not drawn for THIN as its much larger sample size results in precise estimates and very narrow confidence intervals which are not easily graphically distinguishable from the point estimates. These confidence intervals are shown in additional file

The data used in this study form part of the recently-developed Nottingham Tobacco Control Database, a compilation of sources of smoking-related information at a national and regional level. All analysis was carried out in Stata Version 11.0 (Stata Corp, College Station, TX) and the analysis of THIN data for this study was approved by the Derbyshire Research Ethics Committee.

In three regions this convergence is not observed. The data from the West Midlands did not converge during the study period, although the discrepancy between the two datasets fell, and the THIN estimate was within the confidence interval for the GLF estimate in the final year. The Yorkshire and Humber data converged during the study period but the 2008 THIN estimate did not fall within the GLF confidence interval. The data from Wales converged from 2001 to 2005, at which point prevalence as measured by both data sources was approximately 22%. In subsequent years the values moved apart again; however, the THIN estimates were within the confidence interval for the GLF in the final two years of the study.
To our knowledge, this is the first study to validate primary care smoking data at the regional level. These results show that estimates of regional smoking prevalence from THIN are highly comparable to the corresponding estimates from the current main source of such data. In most regions, smoking prevalence based on THIN data was similar to that found by the GLF from 2006 onwards. Primary care data could therefore be used to help target tobacco control initiatives at the areas with the highest smoking prevalence and to monitor prevalence across regions.
The main limitation of our study is that we were unable to compare THIN data with the corresponding data for all of the UK's regions. The GLF covers Great Britain only, and therefore we could not validate prevalence data for Northern Ireland. However, our results were generally consistent across all regions that were included, and it is likely that THIN smoking prevalence estimates for Northern Ireland are similarly accurate. Further to this, we were unable to explore the comparability of THIN and GLF prevalence estimates beyond 2008. Estimates from these two data sources were similar in the final three years of the study only; further research will be required in the future to ascertain whether this agreement is maintained in subsequent years.
A further limitation of our study is that the GLF and THIN may underestimate smoking prevalence, as both GLF respondents and general practice patients do not have their smoking status biochemically validated. However, the high costs associated with such validation mean that it is extremely difficult to obtain it for such large samples. In addition, because there is considerable variation in the completeness of recording between UK general practices, these results are not necessarily generalisable across all practices.
A final limitation of this study is that the significantly diminished sample sizes of the GLF at the regional level mean that there may be significant error in its estimates. However, during the study period the GLF was the largest survey providing regional prevalence data for Great Britain, and we believe that this is therefore the most appropriate comparator.
Despite the diminished sample size of the THIN data at the regional level, the results of this study are broadly consistent with those of the previous validation study of these data carried out at the national level. As at the national level, prevalence estimates based on THIN from most regions were found to be similar to those based on the GLF from 2006
The convergence in prevalence estimates from THIN and the GLF is almost certainly a result of the voluntary, pay-for-performance general practice contract introduced in 2004
Convergence between the two datasets by 2006 was not observed in all regions; there was greater discrepancy between the data sources for the West Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber and Wales. Regional GLF data are based on small sample sizes, with resultant higher sampling error, as demonstrated by the wide confidence intervals, and any discrepancy between THIN and GLF estimates may reflect uncertainty associated with the GLF data rather than inadequacy of estimates from THIN. Further to this, while we were able to confirm that THIN is representative regionally in terms of age and sex, we have not assessed representativeness in terms of other factors such as social class. This may also account for some of the discrepancy in the three aforementioned regions. That even in these regions, the THIN estimates in two of the final three years (Yorkshire and Humber), the final year (West Midlands) and the final two years (Wales) of the study were within the confidence intervals of the GLF estimates demonstrates that estimates from GLF and THIN for these regions may indeed be comparable. The discrepancy in the final year of data for Yorkshire and Humber may be due to young adults being underrepresented in the THIN population of this region in the final year of the study (as shown in additional file
There are several advantages to using THIN prevalence data compared with the national survey data. THIN data are routinely collected, are released 3-4 times per year, and have a lag of only 3-8 months before data become available
Based on the THIN data, it was found that in 2008 Scotland (24%), the North West (23.5%), and Northern Ireland (23.5%) had the highest smoking prevalence in the UK. The East of England (19%), the West Midlands (19%) and South East England (19%) had the lowest prevalence. There remains substantial variation in smoking prevalence between the regions, with higher prevalence often being observed in regions with the lowest per capita disposable income
To our knowledge, the current study and that by Szatkowski et al. are the first to explore the possibility of using primary care data to monitor smoking prevalence
It is important to monitor regional patterns of smoking prevalence to ensure tobacco control measures in the UK are targeted at the areas most in need and help to reduce the health inequality caused by smoking. THIN data on smoking prevalence at the regional level are comparable with the main source of UK data on this measure, and could therefore be used to monitor longitudinal regional trends in smoking prevalence.

Jeffersonville (Ga.) Twiggs County coach Dexter Copeland is expecting big things out of his squad this season, and one of the main reasons why is the play of linebacker Antonio Clay.
Clay (6-2, 225, 4.6) recorded 103 tackles, 15 sacks, two interceptions and two defensive touchdown returns as a junior in earning honorable mention all-state and all-area honors.
He's followed that up with a great off-season of workouts and could be poised to be one of the Peach State's top prospects.
"He's really taken off in the weightroom," Copeland said. "He's gotten a lot bigger, more explosive. He's benching 315, squatting close to 500, power cleaning 300. He's up about 10 pounds from 215 to 225. He's really looking good."
Copeland compared Clay's potential to a couple of big names in the South at the college level.
"I've had the luxury of coaching Odell Thurman, the middle linebacker at Georgia, and LeRoy Hill, the middle linebacker for Clemson, and I can tell you at this stage he's better than both of them," Copeland said. "He's the size of Odell with the speed of LeRoy. He's like LeRoy because he's one of those guys who plays a lot faster than the 40 time. He has great instincts and a nose for the ball."
Clay has also played tight end for Twiggs County. As a sophomore, he caught 40 passes for 635 yards and nine touchdowns. He had two touchdown receptions as a junior in limited time at tight end, but Copeland said he's skilled enough to get scouts' attention at that position as well.
In addition to his physical tools and performance on the field, Clay is a well-rounded student-athlete.
"Antonio's got a 3.5 GPA," Copeland said. "He's a literary student. He's on the debate team. You can't find a better kid."
Arkansas, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Florida, Auburn, Clemson and Maryland have shown the most interest to date.
"I can tell you right now, if Arkansas offers, I think he might jump on it," Copeland said. "He loves those guys. They were the first one to recruit him, and he started watching them on TV a lot. He just fell in love with their program."

Description: Fifteen-year-old Indigo Summer's world finally seems to be going in the right direction: She hooks up with the star linebacker on the high-school football team, gets a date for homecoming and makes the high-school dance squad all in the same week. But sometimes things are just too good to be true. After football star Quincy Rawlins abruptly dumps her for a girl who is willing to put out, Indigo's popularity and self-esteem take a nosedive. When her perfect world falls apart, Indigo turns to the one person who seems to have his head on straight--her next-door neighbor, sixteen-year-old Marcus Carter. The problem is, now that Indigo realizes what a great guy Marcus really is, so does someone else.

It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement Oxygen Sensor to repair your car or truck. You picked your RS7 because its sporty handling and European styling struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to great quality auto parts? The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles currently being driven today. Audi automobile drivers have grown accustomed to a certain level of sporty handling when driving their RS7 around town.
Achieving maximum power and fuel efficiency with your car or truck depends on the quality and performance of the parts you use. The fuel-injection system on your Audi RS7 is runs on signals sent by your ECU which uses data collected by your oxygen sensors. Your Audi RS7 oxygen sensors sit in the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipes, and catalytic converter and analyze the quality of the exhaust gases to determine how well your fuel delivery and emissions reduction parts are working. When oxygen sensors fail your car will not get the best fuel economy or produce enough horsepower, and it will likely be emitting an excess of hazardous exhaust.
Don't let a broken Oxygen Sensor spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the best repair parts. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Ordering new Audi parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement RS7 parts on the internet. When it comes to Audi RS7 Oxygen Sensor parts, you can find them for 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Synopsis for "New Krypton, Part IV: Beyond Doomsday"
In New York City, two Kandorians wander the streets observing life on Earth. Unlike other Kandorians, these two (Gor and Mur) cannot understand why Kal-El venerates this culture so much. They recall the promises made to them by General Zod to protect them so many years ago, and clearly they still admire the General to this day.
Elsewhere, General Sam Lane gets Lex Luthor out of prison. He needs his assistance in developing defense protocols should the Kryptonians prove to be adversarial. He shows Luthor how the military managed to capture Brainiac shortly before the emergence of "New Krypton".
In Washington, the Kryptonian delegation is interrupted by the surprise arrival of Doomsday. Doomsday would difficulty enough tackling Superman in hand-to-hand combat, but now, he has dozens of empowered Kryptonians to contend with. They dogpile on top of Doomsday and fly him to Earth's moon where they deal him a crippling blow, seemingly killing him.
Later, Gor and Mur go to the Fortress of Solitude. They continue speaking unfavorably of Superman and plan on using the Phantom Zone Projector to free General Zod from the Phantom Zone. They soon find their paths barred by two costumed Kandorians calling themselves Nightwing and Flamebird.

One of the greatest misconceptions about George Szell is that, while he was able to drill orchestras into incomparable playing, his interpretations were metronomic and lacked imagination. What a load of tosh.
George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra were long known for becoming one of the greatest orchestras of the 20th century. Using balance, precision and a desire for perfection, Szell was able to achieve results very few orchestras in the world could hope to achieve. While Szell was often portrayed in the media and society as cold or dictator like, his leadership resulted in the Cleveland Orchestra producing some of the finest Mozart, Bruckner, Beethoven and Haydn recordings ever made.

Description: Armageddon is the epic story of the last eight months of World War II in Europe by Max Hastings–one of Britain's most highly regarded military historians, whose accounts of past battles John Keegan has described as worthy "to stand with that of the best journalists and writers" (New York Times Book Review). In September 1944, the Allies believed that Hitler's army was beaten, and expected that the war would be over by Christmas. But the disastrous Allied airborne landing in Holland, American setbacks on the German border and in the Hürtgen Forest, together with the bitter Battle of the Bulge, drastically altered that timetable. Hastings tells the story of both the Eastern and Western Fronts, and paints a vivid portrait of the Red Army's onslaught on Hitler's empire. He has searched the archives of the major combatants and interviewed 170 survivors to give us an unprecedented understanding of how the great battles were fought, and of their human impact on American, British, German, and Russian soldiers and civilians. Hastings raises provocative questions: Were the Western Allied cause and campaign compromised by a desire to get the Soviets to do most of the fighting? Why were the Russians and Germans more effective soldiers than the Americans and British? Why did the bombing of Germany's cities continue until the last weeks of the war, when it could no longer influence the outcome? Why did the Germans prove more fanatical foes than the Japanese, fighting to the bitter end? This book also contains vivid portraits of Stalin, Churchill, Eisenhower, Montgomery, and the other giants of the struggle. The crucial final months of the twentieth century's greatest global conflict come alive in this rousing and revelatory chronicle.

text: Page 3 provides additional financial highlights for the quarter. Despite the challenging industry conditions, Tower has continued to grow profitably in the first quarter. Our gross premiums written and managed increased by 38% in the first quarter to $390 million from $283 million for the same period last year. This growth was driven primarily by the acquisition of OneBeacon Personal Lines division and Navigators' renewal rights transaction. However, we began seeing organic growth from our new business units, customized solutions and assumed reinsurance and risk sharing. I will provide more details on these initiatives later on this call. In addition to achieving an impressive top line growth rate, we were able to maintain our underwriting discipline as demonstrated by a 97.7% combined ratio this quarter compared to 99.4% for the same period last year. Excluding the losses from the winter storms, our combined ratio for the quarter was 93.8%. We expect the combined ratio to decrease throughout the year, mainly due to a lower loss ratio that we experienced throughout our history for the rest of the year, and a lower expense ratio as our fixed expenses become leveraged with higher premium volume.Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

Having a set that includes different sizes and weights helps take the guess work out of which kegel set to purchase. These adorable heart shaped exercisers are inserted into the vagina and can be worn for any length of time. Many women wear them throughout their day since the ball within (that moves when you're moving) is a constant reminder to work those muscles! These weights are easy to insert, comfortable to wear, and simple to remove thanks to the great retrieval cord. If you find the more advanced weights are too heavy, start with the beginner size. If that's not a challenge enough for you, move up to the next size. Wear them for as long or short as you'd like. You might not get immediate results, but after a few weeks you'll start to notice a difference. These are effective, easy to use, and simply adorable! I love them and HIGHLY recommend purchasing a set of your own!

Switzerland is known for chocolate, watches and tourism; the white equilateral cross that marks the instantly recognizable Swiss flag does not typicall rouse thoughts of wine. Chandra Kurt, reveals the vinous dimensions of this small country, offering particular focus to the often-overlooked indigenous grape variety: petite arvine.
Originally introduced by the Romans, approximately 15,000 hectares of grapevines are cultivated throughout Switzerland. To put this figure into context, the total area under vine in Switzerland is around half that of Champagne and 0.2 percent of the global area.
In addition to a host of international varieties, Switzerland also boasts an extraordinary diversity of indigenous grape species that are rarely found outside Swiss borders. Most of these varieties are cultivated in the Valais, a region of striking contrasts; it manifests a climate that supports glaciers and palm trees, as well as saffron and cheese. With almost 5,200 hectares of vineyard in the Valais, the region produces about one-third of Switzerland's total wine output. A series of more than 50 different indigenous grapes—such as petite arvine, heida, humagne rouge (also known as cornalin) and humagne blanche—complement the production of international varieties. Among the indigenous varieties, petite arvine, often simply acalled arvine, is the most popular.
There are some 154 hectares of petite arvine planted throughout Switzerland, mainly on Valais soils Many Swiss natives refer to the grape as 'the queen of the Valais' and consider it a perfect ambassador for the region. However, despite the historical roots of this aromatic grape variety, its penchant for producing high quality and distinctive wines is only a relatively recent realization. Arvine was first coined under the name arvena in Sion – the capital of the Valais—in 1602. Dr. Jose Vouillamoz at the University of Neuchatel has conducted DNA analyses into the origins of the varietal. He explains: The name could be derived from the old Latin 'arvena', meaning "just arrived" – a name that was possibly given to this variety as its introduction or birth.
Winegrowers know that petite arvine demands a lot of affection. Madeleine Gay, from Provins Valais (winner of the 'Swiss Winemaker of the Year' title in both 2008 and 2013) confirms as much:
"Petite arvine is like a diva, she needs so much attention-- more than many other grapes. Hot summer days followed by fresh nights [are the best growing conditions]". The grapes are small and compactwith a delicate skin that is ery sensitive to enviornmental influences. It is also difficult to find the best ate for harvest. [If the grapes are harvested] too early, you miht risk aggressive acidity and [if harvested] too late, the sugar content rises too high. With petite arvine, you can produce terrific sweet wines." During the vinification process, the grape exhibits its delicate character; the wine is not suited to filtration and usually closes up instantly after bottling.

Kenai: Sun sets up its own community website
The Sun enterprise established a website, Kenai, which will host its own Open Source project code.
Sun Microsystems has described itself all along as the "biggest Open Source undertaking," participating in over 750 Open Source projects, therefore requiring its own hosting infrastructure. They claim then that Project Kenai would serve the open source world in the best way.
Currently in beta, the project is based on the Ruby on Rails web application framework, and integrates Mercurial and Subversion sources, Bugzilla for issue tracking, and Sympa for mailing lists. Further details are in Sun developer Tim Bray's weblog.
Among the Sun projects associated with Kenai are virtualization software XVM Server and JRuby, the Ruby Java implementation. Information about establishing further projects is on their FAQ page.
As Sun's chief Open Source officer, Simon Phipps, asserts in his blog, "I am keen to fix the problem of the proliferation of open source licenses." The company will work together with the Open Source Initiative (OSI) on their solution. The OSI recently released a report dealing with the license proliferation issue. It recommends methods whereby licensors can make easier selections, licenses that "do not play well together" can be avoided, and multi-license compatibility is easier to understand. Kenai offers only the OSI-"recommended" licenses to developers of new projects ("Licenses that are popular and widely used or with strong communities"). Phipps suggests that other licenses are not necessarily excluded, but would be considered as part of a second phase. Even Sun Microsystems, in giving away its free open source Java, rather than relying on its own licenses, uses the GPLv2 license instead.
The concept and layout of the Kenai website are reminiscent of project hosting sites such as Google Code and Sourceforge, which possibly plays into the Kenai motto "We're More Than Just a Forge."

Prior to the launch of Samsung's S6 and S6 Edge flagships, the Galaxy S5 was known as Samsung's black hawk that went down along with the firm's profits amid a surge in smartphone launches in the year before.
However, in a relief to the beleaguered S5, Consumer Reports have ranked it higher than the new S6 models in a list of best smartphones that money can buy.
The disastrous performance of the Galaxy S5 released last year forced Samsung to initiate Project Zero to revive its fortunes. This led to an all-time drop in customer expectations from Samsung as far as top-end smartphones were concerned. However, with the launch of new S6 models, Samsung has, to an extent, revived its status as a maker of premium smartphones that are hard to match.
Consumer Reports did rate the new flagships highly, praising their sharp displays, high pixel-per-inch ratio, wireless charging and attractive curves in the S6 Edge, but felt that they deviated from the 'anti-iPhone persona' that the S series was known for.
The Galaxy S5 contained helpful features that iPhones didn't, which helped Samsung market it as a differentiated product. Features like removable battery, water resistance, microSD card slots and decent battery life were all customer-friendly attributes that helped Samsung maintain a healthy user base. However, far-from-significant profits generated by the S5 had Samsung mull about a few compromises.
Consumer Reports believe that the S6 devices resemble modern iPhones a lot more in terms of looks and features than previous S series phones, making them less unique and thus getting downgraded. Principle features flagged by Consumer Reports included a metal and glass body, non-removable batteries, lack of memory expansion slots, no resistance to water and poor battery life.
In terms of ratings, the Galaxy S5 topped the list of best smartphones that money can buy, followed by LG's G4 and G3 models in second place. The fifth place was shared between the Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, Apple's iPhone 6 and the Galaxy S5 Sport.

|Tai Kamiya
|Date of birth
|Known relatives
| Susumu Kamiya (father),
Yuuko Kamiya (mother),
Kari Kamiya (younger sister)
Tai Kamiya is the evil and down right sinister leader of the DigiDestined. Tai along with seven other children were brought to the Digital World by Devimon. He searched all of Earth for the nastiest and evilest of children. His attention were brought to eight young children from the island nation of Japan. He swipes them from the human world, equipping them with Digivices, and assigning them all Digimon partners. All who were some of Devimon's loyal followers. Out of all of them, Tai was the most devious and cunning. While his DigiDestined colleagues loyally worked for Devimon, he wanted to rule for himself.
So as time went on, Tai began to secretly lure his team over to his side, so that they can depose their master and rule the Digital World themselves. A task which proved successful actually because with their combined power, Devimon was slain. With Devimon gone, Tai quickly assumed command of the DigiDestined and became their leader. Matt was named his second in command of the group and led them together. Soon many, many Digimon came under their evil thralls, thanks to Devimon's Black Gears. Their grip over the Digital World began to spread and spread to all four corners of the Digital World. However while their force as a group is strong, their teamwork skills is pitiful. Each DigiDestined rules one of eight sections of the Digital World.
There have been several attempts to conquer each other's portion of their territory, which is something Tai always has to stop. His judgment is always swift and merciless, with if one of his team misbehaves, he punishes all of them. Something which his little sister Kari absolutely hates about her older brother. Which she along with T.K. conspire with one another to overthrow their siblings and the rest of the DigiDestined. Which in three years time, they manage to do so by bringing over Davis, Yolei, Cody, and Ken to the Digital World. They were given Digivices and Digimon partners, who along with Kari and T.K. successfully deposed Tai and the others.
They were all sentenced to spend the rest of their lives in a prison cell, where Davis acts as the warden. However Davis has plans of his own for the Digital World and Tai intends to make those plans his own and escape to get revenge on his sister Kari.
Tai is paler than the prime counterpart, with blue eyes, and short orange hair, with a blonde tuft. He use to have a pair of goggles, but once he was deposed, T.K. took them as a trophy and wears them himself. He wore a long grey cape too that acts as a symbol of his authority, but like his goggles, T.K. wears it now. He has blue stripe tattoos on his face and both his arms.
He is evil, cunning, not to be trusted and unlike his prime counterpart who loves his sister, this Tai hates her and insults her often.
Personal Information
Tai has shown to have homosexual tendencies, as he likes to be overly flattering towards Matt. He even tries to seduce Davis, who he wants to use as a pawn to gain his revenge and take over the Digital World all for himself.
Tai like his prime reality counterpart has a crest, but is the crest of fear, not courage. As many fear him, not he fears others.

On september 18th 2009, i found out my mom had died. Apparently we don't know the exact day of her death because she was found in the house. Her body was badly decomposed. We assume that she had passed the friday before (9/11) because she never made it to work. And when she was found she was naked and may have been getting in the shower to get ready for work. Her funeral was 25th. A week after i found out she died. I was 18. My mother and i had a crazy relationship and we were not on the best of terms when she died. Its been five years and it still hurts. I have never been happy since. Nothing makes me happy anymore. I push people away. I don't trust anyone. I have lost friends. I was not even really happy when i graduated from college last year. I wished she was there. Im always depressed. Im 23 and becoming a woman is making me miss her more than ever now. I have aunts that love me but its not the same. I don't know. I just want to be happy again

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
my home was orginially deeded joint tenants with rights of survivorship. The other party filed a quit claim deed changing the wording and terminating the joint tenancy with rigts of survivorship. This was done without my consent or knowledge. Is it legal
The other co-owner of your property cannot reduce your undivided 1/2 interest in the property without your consent. However, the other co-owner can convert the joint tenancy with the right of survivorship to a tenancy in common (no survivorship) without your consent by executing a deed. If you are unsure of your rights as a co-owner of property or if you want a review of your deed rather than a generic answer, you should consult an experienced real estate lawyer in your area.

I agree with the previous answer and the change would only be effective on the parties who signed the quit claim deed not the others. You should take what you have to a local lawyer if you need more information.

HOCKEY; A New Playoff Format Begets a Good, Old-Fashioned Matchup
By JOE LAPOINTE
Published: April 16, 1994
This spring, it was supposed to be different, with a fresh formula for the Stanley Cup playoffs in the stuffy old National Hockey League. With expansion and a conference realignment, fans awaited exotic new matchups that could send Snowbelt teams to Sunbelt settings and New York franchises to venues more than a bus ride away.
In a couple of cases, it worked out that way for the opening round, which begins on Sunday in the Eastern Conference and on Monday in the Western. Detroit, the Western favorite, will open against San Jose, which is making its first playoff appearance. In the East, there is a similar novelty, with the Devils playing Buffalo, the first time the two teams have met in the post-season.
But most of the other pairings pit franchises that know each other well from years when divisions and conferences were named not for geography but after N.H.L. founding fathers and British royalty. For instance, Boston is playing Montreal, an echo of Adams Division history and many decades before that. And Toronto is playing Chicago, another old feud from the original six era of the 1950's and 1960's and, more recently, from the Norris Division.
Then there's the Rangers against the Islanders, the Battle for New York, one of the most intense rivalries in all professional sport.
Their home rinks are roughly 20 miles apart; their fans invade each other's buildings and follow each other's fortunes through the same news media outlets; their 22-year history is filled with old grudges and spiteful mob chants. They have met seven times before in the post-season, and the Islanders have prevailed five times.
True, they haven't met in the playoffs since 1990, when the Rangers eliminated the Islanders in the first round. True, few players on either roster participated in that post-season series.
No doubt, Islander fans have forgiven the Rangers for knocking Pat LaFontaine unconscious in the first game of the 1990 series. And Ranger fans certainly hold no grudges for the Islanders sending their tough guys out near the end of that game to start fights. Of course, Islander fans probably retain no hard feelings toward the Ranger fans who later rocked and punched LaFontaine's ambulance.
And if you believe that both sides can let bygones be bygones, you might be interested in a purchase of the Triborough Bridge.
The Rangers are the favorite, not only in this series, but to win the Stanley Cup. The Rangers had the best record in the 26-team league, and the Islanders finished .500, 15th among 16 playoff qualifiers. But when they played each other five times during the regular season, the Islanders won the season series, 2-1-2.
All those games were close, with lots of excitement in the stands and intensity on the ice. Kevin Lowe of the Rangers, a veteran of 15 N.H.L. seasons who is relatively new to this rivalry, said he expected more of the same, only more.
"If you take the regular season games and multiply them tenfold, then I think you will get an idea of what the series will be like," Lowe said.
So, how do they match up? Both finished the regular season well. The Rangers were 8-2-1; the Islanders were 5-1-3. In goal, both first-stringers have a lot to prove. The Rangers' Mike Richter is remembered for letting in a long shot by Pittsburgh's Ron Francis that proved pivotal when the Penguins eliminated them two years ago.
The Islanders' Ron Hextall came over from Quebec last summer after his first-round collapse against Montreal. If the starters falter, the Rangers' Glenn Healy has the edge in experience over the Islander rookie Jamie McLennan. But Healy's old ties to the Islanders won't necessarily work in his favor.
On defense, both teams are strong and deep. The Rangers' power play, the best in the league, is manned at the points by Sergei Zubov and Brian Leetch, both of whom are quick and slick with the puck. Jeff Beukeboom, Jay Wells, Aleksandr Karpovtsev and Mattias Norstrom provide the heavy body checking; Lowe, with his Edmonton championship rings, brings poise and experience. Distracting Kasparaitis
The Islanders' best blue-liner is Vladimir Malakhov, a multitalented but inconsistent point man who often plays well against the Rangers. Darius Kasparaitis leads the Islanders' hitters, and he loves to stir up trouble. Watch for Glenn Anderson, a new Ranger arrival on right wing, to try to distract Kasparaitis and keep him from bothering Mark Messier and Adam Graves, the Rangers' big guns.
Graves and Messier's goal production will be important, if they can shake the checking of Brad Dalgarno and Travis Green on the forward lines along with Uwe Krupp and Scott Lachance on defense. The Islanders' top shooters are Pierre Turgeon, Steve Thomas and Derek King, who are likely to be checked by Craig MacTavish, Esa Tikkanen and Brian Noonan.
The coaches, Mike Keenan of the Rangers and Al Arbour of the Islanders, are two masters of the craft, experts at mixing and matching players while psychologically manipulating the referees and the news media.
The Rangers are in better health, with all their players fit to play. The key injury for the Islanders is the torn stomach muscle of Patrick Flatley, their captain, who is one of their toughest at the grinding game that increases in importance in the post-season. They also miss Rich Pilon, a body-banging defenseman with a shoulder problem, who was so important last spring in their surprising surge to the third round. The Rangers are an older team, but one of the league's best-conditioned.
