Ceramics are always a great supporting player on the home décor stage, but this season they're grabbing more of the spotlight.
Today's ceramists are exploring creative textures and finishes, and even the mass market is offering exciting new examples of the pottery arts. From velvety soft, lacy tealight holders to chunky, colorful platters, there's something for everyone.
You can choose to feature pottery prominently or enlist it as punctuation to other colors and textures in your room.
A piece with lots of pattern punch can be a conversation starter, whether it was created half a world away by a village artisan, or right in your own hometown.
Ceramics also can help tie a space together, picking up elements — a knitted motif or a color, say — that appear in artwork, throw pillows or rugs elsewhere in the room.
And ceramics are easy to change out when you tire of them.
Homegoods often has cool ceramics that resemble higher end versions. This spring, you'll find a Provence-style, rustic, mustard-hued lamp base with a honeycomb embossment, an array of chic bird-patterned plates in fine china, and several color-saturated glazed vessels in deep teal or cranberry.
Scandinavian design studio Ferm Living created an ethereal new collection for spring that includes matte white or terra cotta ceramic vases made of stacked spheres and polygons. A series of porcelain pieces, including a teapot and bowl, features a spear geometric in subtle organic tones of charcoal, pale pink, seafoam and curry.
Susan Dwyer, a sculpture major at art school in Chicago, was inspired by the clean, minimal lines of the city's industrial landscape to create a cool series of vessels evoking factory buildings, water towers and silos. All hand-formed, each piece has a unique organic look which is at odds with, yet complementary to, the manufactured structure it represents.
Amy Adams, the brains behind Brooklyn-based Perch studio, has designed a clever series of stacking cups with stenciled rosettes, flowers, garlands or triangles.
Available in black and white or turquoise and white, these have a nice folk-arty look and would be versatile little repositories for drinks, flowers or trinkets.
One of the masters of ceramic art, Jonathan Adler, showed his Carnaby collection at the recent New York International Gift Fair. Pieces include the Waves tray and Acid lamp, featuring groovy '70s-inspired graphics.
But Adler also has done a lovely group of nature-themed pottery pieces for which he threw the prototype and Peruvian artisans created the finished product. Motifs include leaves, seed pods and barnacles.
West Elm has Maria Moyer's pretty pierced tealight holders and stunning white orbed vases, which look like they were born in some far-off galaxy.
A percentage of sales of her pieces benefit Oceana, a nonprofit marine conservation group. John Newdigate's fun blue-and-white-fish painted platters and fish-shaped serveware have a Japanese vibe.
Boston artist Leah Piepgras may have created the ultimate ceramic conversation piece, however. At the New York fair, her Consumption series of porcelain plates was shown at the Model Citizens booth.
For a limited edition produced by Pickard China, Piepgras uses anatomical illustrations to draw each stage of the digestive tract from mouth (the tea cup) to, well, the end of the line for food we eat (the dessert plate).
A result of her keen interest in the body and brain, Piepgras says her "map" is "a reminder of the processes that are taking place within you while you're eating, promoting an exercise in mindfulness."
Rendered in a blue-black palette that's less realistic than flesh tones, the plates are beautifully odd. At $750 a set, this would perhaps be better suited to display than dinner.

Intel's Low-cost "Diamondville" CPU for OLPCs?
The first detail that Intel's Anand Chandrasekher announced on Monday in an interview with IDG is that Diamondville is a Silverthorne derivative. This tidbit clarifies the confusion around Mooly Eden's comments back in October, when the vice president's comments about Diamondville and OLPC set off a round of press articles claiming that Diamondville would be a "new architecture from the ground up" designed for OLPC. I talked to Intel the day after those articles came out, and the company clarified that the "new architecture" was a low-power, low-cost derivative of an already announced product, and that it would have wider applications than just OLPC.
Intel might shoot for other applications for Diamondville as well, but since x86 compatibility isn't a big issue (or selling point) in those other appliances, it may have a hard time vs. other manufacturers.

Lift Question
2 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone, first of all I would like to say thank you to Discount Tire Direct for making my wheel order go quick and easy with no problems. But now it is time for the lift!
As you can see below I put 285/70/17 on my TJ and now am looking for what lift I should put on. I have done some research on lift kits but I am still a little stuck on what to do. Since I am putting aftermarket rear and front bumpers on I am wanting to upgrade that coils as well so should I just go with a coil lift? If so which lift do you guys recommend maybe something around 2.5"-3" of lift? This is my daily driver so I am not looking to throw a huge lift on it just something that will allow me to cruise on the gravel bars at the river when I go camping. I am wanting to lift it myself (with some help of my friends) next Friday night, luckly I have access to a car lift so that will not be a problem. But just let me know your thoughts and thanks in advance for the help! |

UCLA's Harwell has plans to break out
LOS ANGELES His senior season won't be a salvage job but a showcase, a surgically repaired body of work that won't just make up for the last lost season but a hulking 6-foot-1, 280-pound Stonehenge that will establish Brigham Harwell as one of the nation's top defensive tackles.
The UCLA starter toiled through his offseason workouts while thinking about the 2008 season, about the opener against Tennessee and about the first road game at BYU, this Saturday's opponent for the No. 23 Bruins in Provo, Utah.
It was against BYU in the second game of last season that Harwell tore the medial collateral ligament in his left knee. His two tackles by the second quarter were his final ones of the 2007 season.
"I planted wrong and it tore," recalled Harwell, who missed the last 11 games of 2007 and received a medical hardship waiver to play this season. "The rest of 2007, I stayed home, watched games on TV and waited for the days to go by.
"I've been telling myself, 'Brigham, it's your year,' like it's the last season in the world."
Attitude is everything. For his players, Bruins coach Rick Neuheisel sledgehammers home positive thinking as much as technical skill - a holistic method that the mind-and-muscle flexing Harwell appreciates.
"He (Neuheisel) has got the energy that we haven't had in a while, and he moves people, gets them to listen," said Harwell, of Chino Hills and Los Altos High of Hacienda Heights. "Coming into this year, I really needed that kind of leader around me."
Harwell, who lines up beside 300-pound sophomore Brian Price as the linchpins of the stalwart Bruin defense, boldly predicted that the Bruins would upset the then-No. 18 Volunteers in the Sept. 1 season opener. The starter and preseason "Watch List" candidate for the Outland Trophy had five tackles, all solos, including the fourth-quarter clutch and grab of Volunteers tailback Arian Foster for a 1-yard loss.
The day after the fireworks cracked above the Rose Bowl and the Bruins boasted a 27-24 overtime victory, Harwell celebrated his 23rd birthday. But the Bruin captain had already gotten his wish.
"Everything is coming together," said Harwell, while still knowing that there is much more left to accomplish for him and the Bruins this season.
He recalled how injury had stunted his past seasons: the arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee in 2004, the sprained ankle that cost him a start in 2005 and the ripped ligament that sidelined him for most of last season.
His twice-repaired left knee caused him some anxiety but nothing that careful, steady yet painful rehabilitation couldn't wash away.
Bruin performance coach Mike Linn, the former Esperanza High and Bruin offensive lineman back for his second tenure in the weight room, helped Harwell build up his steps to walking, to running, to pivoting and to powering.
"Coach Linn didn't just coach me to strengthen my body; he worked on my mental toughness, got me over the injury and gets me over the top," said Harwell, who dropped from 290 pounds to a leaner 280 by the start of the season. "He pushed me farther than I thought I could go, and now I've got confidence."
During an offseason early morning workout, Harwell was looking up a barbell loaded with 440 pounds, his max-out weight on the bench press. He had to do three reps, the most he had ever attempted, and was nervous. Linn, known for blowing out his vocal cords to urge the team through strength training, was shouting, firing up the room.
"Coach Linn got in my face, looked me in the eyes and got me going," Harwell recalled. "I did it. I was really proud afterwards."
After another workout, Harwell found himself in need of ride to West Los Angeles for his job at Prime Time Sports Camp, and Bruin quarterback Ben Olson offered him a lift. Like Harwell, Olson was wrestling with an injury-plagued career. But the two had never talked at any length.
"I didn't know that much about him (Olson) other than he was married and older," Harwell said. "But thank God he gave me a ride because we had a great talk."
Stuck in morning commuter traffic, the pair spoke about the ups and downs of their Bruin football career, the promise of a new season with new coaches and the feeling that they, as seniors and starters, had one more year to prove themselves.
New friends, they shook hands at the end of the ride.
Unfortunately, early in fall camp, Olson reinjured his surgically repaired foot, which will sideline the starter for at least another month.A healed Harwell returns Saturday against BYU to start his 35th of 37 games since 2005. He's still thinking of what he and Olson both expressed during their 35-minute car ride: "This season, this is it."

A four-year, $1 million study will examine the health and welfare of dairy cows at 200 organic farms and 100 conventional farms in New York, Oregon, and Wisconsin.
Dr. Pamela L. Ruegg, the lead researcher on the project and a professor in the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Dairy Science, said the study will examine the effects of current U.S. standards related to organic milk production and the standards' impact on animal care, as well as identify preventive care practices that are successfully used on both types of farms.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is funding the study, which involves researchers from UW-Madison, Oregon State University, Cornell University, and the Organic Centre in Oregon.
Dr. Ruegg said the United States requires producers to permanently remove cows from organic milk production once they receive treatments not approved for animals used in organic production, while the European Union and Canada allow farmers to return cows to organic milk production after extended holding periods.
Researchers will also examine preventive medicine practices used by veterinarians and producers on organic and conventional farms to develop an extension program that could help farmers using either system improve their programs, Dr. Ruegg said.
"We're hoping to take data from these farms and develop an online customized benchmarking program for farms," Dr. Ruegg said. "So the participants in the farms will be able to basically pick out other like farms that have excelled as peers and take a look at practices used on their farms."
The first two years of the study will involve site visits and data collection, Dr. Ruegg said. The last two will involve developing an integrated extension program.

Hello, It looks like the autoresponder is not working. Mail forward works fine. I've been checking some error log files but couldn't find anything. Another strange behavior. When I add a user, there's the autoresponder option under 'advanced settings'. After saving I can only see 'forward' and 'Email Alias'. No longer the autoresponder option. Login as mailuser, the autoresponder settings are still there, but is not working.
Autoresponders are only send once to a email address, so if you test it more then once, you wont get a answer for your test emails. Thats strange, I never seen that. Which ISPConfig version do you use?
Autoresponder doesn't work at all. I'm using the latest version 2.2.16. It didn't work with 14 or 15 either.
When you go to: ISP Manager - [site] - User & Email - [User] - Advanced Settings Can you see the autorespond settings for this user?
When I leave the mail forward field empty, I can see the same window. Is it not possible to autorespond when mail forward is used? However, without mail forward I still can't receive the autorespond mail.
When a user with autoresponder active receives a mail from me, I can see my mail adres in .vacation.cache but still no autorespond in my mailbox.
Nothing happens: # cd /var/log/mail/ # tail -f info errors warnings Then I send a mail to a user with autorespond active. ==> info <== Aug 30 17:06:17 lcl postfix/smtpd[12453]: connect from europa.telenet-ops.be[22.214.171.124] Aug 30 17:06:17 lcl postfix/smtpd[12453]: 662F042947A: client=europa.telenet-ops.be[188.8.131.52] Aug 30 17:06:17 lcl postfix/cleanup[12457]: 662F042947A: message-id=<[email protected]> Aug 30 17:06:17 lcl postfix/qmgr[11671]: 662F042947A: from=<[email protected]>, size=1049, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 30 17:06:17 lcl postfix/smtpd[12453]: disconnect from europa.telenet-ops.be[220.127.116.11] Aug 30 17:06:17 lcl postfix/local[12458]: 662F042947A: to=<xxx user with autorespond xxx>, orig_to=<xxx his mailadress xxx>, relay=local, delay=0.12, delays=0.02/0.01/0/0.09, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/bin/procmail -f-) Aug 30 17:06:17 lcl postfix/qmgr[11671]: 662F042947A: removed

For most of the 20th century, the paradigm of wireless communication was a radio station with a single high-power transmitter. As long as you were within 20 miles or so of the transmitter, you could pick up the station.
With the advent of cell phones, however, and even more so with Wi-Fi, the paradigm became a large number of scattered transmitters with limited range. When a user moves out of one transmitter's range and into another's, the network has to perform a "handoff." And as anyone who's lost a cell-phone call in a moving car or lost a Wi-Fi connection while walking to the bus stop can attest, handoffs don't always happen as they should.
Most new phones, however, have built-in motion sensors -- GPS receivers, accelerometers and, increasingly, gyros. At the Eighth Usenix Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation, which took place in Boston in March, MIT researchers presented a set of new communications protocols that use information about a portable device's movement to improve handoffs. In experiments on MIT's campus-wide Wi-Fi network, the researchers discovered that their protocols could often, for users moving around, improve network throughput (the amount of information that devices could send and receive in a given period) by about 50 percent.
The MIT researchers -- graduate student Lenin Ravindranath, Professor Hari Balakrishnan, Associate Professor Sam Madden, and postdoctoral associate Calvin Newport, all of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory -- used motion detection to improve four distinct communications protocols. One governs the smart phone's selection of the nearest transmitter. "Let's say you get off at the train station and start walking toward your office," Balakrishnan says. "What happens today is that your phone immediately connects to the Wi-Fi access point with the strongest signal. But by the time it's finished doing that, you've walked on, so the best access point has changed. And that keeps happening."
By contrast, Balakrishnan explains, the new protocol selects an access point on the basis of the user's inferred trajectory. "We connect you off the bat to an access point that has this trade-off between how long you're likely to be connected to it and the throughput you're going to get," he says. In their experiments, the MIT researchers found that, with one version of their protocol, a moving cell phone would have to switch transmitters 40 percent less frequently than it would with existing protocols. A variation of the protocol improved throughput by about 30 percent.
Another of the protocols governs a phone's selection of bit rate, or the rate at which it sends and receives information. Bit rate needs to be tailored to the bandwidth available: try to send too much data over a weak connection and much of it will be lost; but solving that problem by keeping the bit rate low can end up squandering data capacity.
When a device is in motion, the available bandwidth is constantly fluctuating, so selecting a bit rate becomes more difficult. Because a device using the MIT protocol knows when it's in motion, it also knows when to be more careful in choosing a bit rate. In the researchers' experiments, the gains in throughput from bit rate selection varied between 20 percent and 70 percent but consistently hovered around 50 percent.
A third protocol governs the behavior of the wireless base stations rather than the devices that connect to them. Ordinarily, a base station knows that a device has broken contact only after a long enough silence. In the meantime, the base station might try to send the same data to the device over and over, waiting forlornly for acknowledgment and wasting time and power. But with information about the device's trajectory, the base station can make an educated guess about when it will lose contact.
Since Balakrishnan and Madden are two of the three primary investigators on MIT's CarTel project, which seeks to use information technology to make driving safer and more efficient, the fourth protocol uses motion data to determine routing procedures for networks of wirelessly connected cars, whose relative positions are constantly changing.
Balakrishnan adds that he and his colleagues have identified at least another half-dozen communications protocols that could benefit from information about device movement. "What we are really hoping is that this opens up a really exciting direction for work in the community," he says. "Other people will come up with more creative ideas, now that you know that you can get these sensor hints in a fairly robust way."

By moving over dust and beating up dust infected enemies you increase your combo meter and to get an S rank in finesse you need to never drop that combo for the entire length of the level. Getting an S rank for completion you get for clearing all of the dust from the level.<\/p>So you have this really cool aspect of trying to double S rank the levels while also setting the best time you can, which for me isn't actually that good. One of the things I dislike about Dustforce is that rather a lot of the game's harder levels are locked off at the start, which is fine but the way you unlock them is by double S ranking the easier levels. Which is no easy feat to do. So you could probably get by without actually seeing some of the harder levels.

Flat floor but not level?
Author: J's new kitchen
Date: 4/22/2009 2:49 pm EDT Here is my one question/concern, I am wanting to add avaire tile on top of existing linoleum in good condition, no squeaks from the subfloor and the floor is flat (no dips or high spots). My problem lies in the fact that the entire floor is evenly 'not level' meaning that over the course of the whole room it is moving in a downward (or upward depending on where you face) direction. Total drop or raise is likely somewhere around 1/2 of an inch over the total 11 feet distance of the room. Will this be a problem since it is greater than the 1/4" - 10' level specification that avaire claims is the max? Any help or comments are appreciated. Thanks! |

How to Pass Food at the Table
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
When asked by the person sitting directly across from you to begin serving a dish at a family-style dinner, which way should it be passed?
1) To the left
2) To the right
3) Across the table
The correct answer: (2) "Family style" usually means that the host or hostess serves the meat, and the side dishes are passed to the right (counterclockwise) with each dinner guest helping himself. This helps maintain a sense of order at the table while all the dishes are being served. Exception to this rule: If someone sitting to your immediate left requests a second helping of potatoes, don't send the dish all the way around the table. It's perfectly fine to directly pass the dish to the left.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveals the structure of the head and brain and identifies any abnormalities. An MRI uses powerful magnet and radio waves fed into a computer to create the image. The MRI scan is one of a number of imaging techniques that have revolutionised medicine. It is currently the most sensitive imaging test for the head and brain.
What is a MRI scan for?
MRI is a diagnostic tool that produces detailed pictures of soft tissue, organs and bone structure. For people with suspected Alzheimer's disease an MRI brain scan can:
- Exclude other diseases that can cause similar symptoms such as brain cancer, stroke, damage that results from a traumatic brain injury, diseases of the pituitary gland that sits within the brain, and other neurological diseases.
- Document brain abnormalities in patients with dementia's such as Alzheimer's where brain shrinkage and cell atrophy (cell death) can be observed.
- The imaging technique is used to research Alzheimer's disease. For instance, a recent study has looked at how brain size may predict risk for early Alzheimer's disease
Does the MRI Scan Hurt?
No. An MRI imaging scan is not painful. Some people can feel claustrophobic as the table moves into the hole in the middle of the PET machine. If you inform the staff in advance a sedative can be given. For people with Alzheimer's who may be confused or more uncooperative a mild sedative can help minimize any feeling of discomfort and can help them relax.
When a contrast material is injected into a vein in the arm you will feel a small prick and you may feel a slight coldness and a flushing sensation for a minute or two. There may be bruising at the needle site and a metallic taste in the mouth after the test. The contrast is unlikely to cause an allergic reaction.
What Happens in the Test?
The imaging process will not cause any pain itself but keeping still while lying on a hard surface may cause discomfort.
- You have to stay very still during the imaging process. The technician will tell you when it is important.
- The area being scanned can feel slightly warm.
- You will be asked to stay still for the few seconds or minutes when the images are being taken.
- It can be noisy! The machine makes tapping or thumping sounds when the coils that generate the radiofrequency pulses are activated.
- Minimizing anxiety. You can speak to the technician, who can see and hear you from the next room to if you feel anxious. A close relative or friend is often allowed to stay with you once they have been screened for safety in a magnetic environment.
How Long Does MRI Scan Take?
The scan takes about 45 minutes, longer than CT or X-ray
What Happens to the Scan Results
The PET scans will be interpreted by a radiologist or physician specialised and trained in nuclear medicine. Their report of the results will be sent to your referring specialist.
Is the MRI Scan Safe?
MRI is generally considered safe:
- The patient needs to stay very still to get good images. Over sedation can be a problem.
- MRI does not distinguish between cancer and edema fluid.
- Although not generally a problem for people with Alzheimer's, an MRI is not advised during pregnancy even though it is believed no harm comes to the fetus during imaging.
MRIs are not suitable for everyone. They cost more than other types of scans and are not advisable if someone is acutely injured because of the long test time. Equipment the patient may be attached to i.e. life support may present a problem. Overweight, or very large people, may not fit into the opening of a conventional MRI machine.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Among the stocks seeing active trade in Friday's Wall Street session are Schiff Nutrition International Inc. and Penn National Gaming Inc.
On the earnings front, J.M. Smucker Co. SJM, -0.41% stands out from the pack, with another trio of retailers — Foot Locker Inc. FL, +3.08% Hibbett Sports Inc. HIBB, +4.75% and Casual Male Retail Group Inc. US:CMRG — and Sirona Dental Systems Inc. US:SIRO also on Friday's calendar as well.
J.M. Smucker profit rises as company raises full-year view.
Foot Locker profit jumps 61%; shares rise.
Hibbett Sports posts 19% quarterly profit growth.
Seeking to trump a rival bid, U.K.-based Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC said it will begin Friday a $42-a-share cash tender offer for Schiff Nutrition International US:SHF valuing the supplier of branded vitamins, nutrition supplements and nutrition bars at about $1.4 billion. The offer is conditioned on Reckitt Benckiser's ability to complete what it called "limited confirmatory due diligence." If granted this condition, the suitor said late Thursday that it's "confident that it can close the tender offer before the end of calendar year 2012." At midday, there had been no response by Salt Lake City-based Schiff, which entered into a $34-a-share merger agreement Bayer HealthCare LLC at the end of October. Read more on Reckitt Benckiser's offer for Schiff Nutrition.
Penn National Gaming PENN, +0.60% plans to separate its gaming operating assets from its real property assets in what would be two publicly traded companies. Pending its completion in 2013, it would mark the first time that a gambling company has moved to set up a REIT via a tax-free spinoff, Penn National said. Shares in the REIT would be issued to Penn National stockholders on a 1-for-1 basis. Separately, Wyomissing, Pa.-based Penn National said it's submitted a proposal to open what would be a $480 million gambling facility in Philadelphia. Read more on Penn National's spinoff plan.
Meanwhile, the board of Beaverton, Ore.-based Nike NKE, +0.11% approved a 2-for-1 stock split on both its Class A and Class B common shares, the company said late Thursday. It's payable in the form of a 100% stock dividend Dec. 24 to stockholders of record as of Dec. 10. The board also declared a post-split quarterly cash dividend of 21 cents a share, thus marking the 11th consecutive year in which Nike has hiked its dividend. The new dividend, payable Dec. 26 to holders of record also as of Dec. 10, equates to a 17% increase.
And before Friday's bell, Nike announced a deal to sell its Cole Haan business to private-equity house Apax Partners for $570 million. Read more.
Also late Thursday, the board of Starbucks Corp. SBUX, +0.33% granted approval for the repurchase of 25 million additional common shares. This brings to 37.1 million the number of shares that Starbucks is authorized to buy back, either in the open market or via Rule 10b5-1 transactions. The move comes on the heels of the Seattle-based company's deal to acquire Teavana Holdings Inc. US:TEA a transaction intended to boost Starbucks' presence in the global tea market.

Eco-farming combines modern science and innovation with respect for nature and biodiversity. It ensures healthy farming and healthy food. It protects the soil, the water and the climate. It does not contaminate the environment with chemical inputs or use genetically engineered crops. And it places people and farmers – consumers and producers, rather than the corporations who control our food now – at its very heart.
It is a vision of sustainability and food sovereignty in which food is grown with health and safety first and where control over food and farming rests with local communities, rather than transnational corporations.
Food sovereignty – Producers and consumers, not corporations, should control the food chain and determine how food is produced.
Rewarding rural livelihoods – Eco-agriculture is instrumental in rural development, food security and fighting poverty.
Smarter food production and yields – Eco-agriculture can create higher yields to help feed the world.
Biodiversity – Promoting diversity in crops, instead of monocultures like corn and soy, is essential to protecting nature.
Sustainable soil – Soil fertility can improve using eco-farming methods and refraining from chemical fertilizers and inputs.
Ecological pest protection – Farmers can control pest damage and weeds effectively through natural means instead of chemical pesticides.
Food Resilience – Diverse and resilient agriculture, not monoculture crops, is the best way to protect communities from shocks from climate and food prices.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this research study is to compare the effects (good and bad) on women and their cancer using proton radiation therapy.
This study is being done to see if proton radiation therapy will prove to be beneficial for women with early stage breast cancer. A clinical study is necessary to compare the results (good or bad) of proton radiation therapy.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Breast Cancer Breast Neoplasm Breast Tumor Cancer of the Breast |
Radiation: Proton Radiotherapy |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Phase II Protocol of Proton Therapy for Partial Breast Irradiation in Early Stage Breast Cancer |
- To assess events of freedom from ipsilateral breast recurrence occurrences in patients receiving partial breast proton radiation therapy limited to the region of the tumor. [ Time Frame: At 3 years ]Freedom from failure (FFF): The events for FFF will be the first ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence. It is expected that less than 3% of patients will experience an ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence (FFF ≥ 97%). A recurrence rate of ≥ 15% (FFF ≤ 85%) is considered unacceptable. Therefore, the null hypothesis is the FFF of ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence is 85% or lower and the alternative hypothesis is that FFF of ipsilateral breast cancer is 97% or higher.
- Assess number and severity of acute and long-term toxicity of partial breast irradiation using proton therapy for the treatment of early stage breast cancer. [ Time Frame: On average every 6 months for life ]
- To assess relationship between breast size and partial breast dosimetry. [ Time Frame: Average every 6 months for 3 years ]
- Compare freedom from failure, survival and dosimetry of post-operative vs. pre-operative partial breast irradiation. [ Time Frame: At 3 years ]
- Determine quality of life results [ Time Frame: Average every 6 months for 3 years ]
- To determine overall survival rate of patients with breast cancer treated with proton radiation [ Time Frame: at 3 years ]
Estimated Enrollment: | 42 |
Study Start Date: | February 2013 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | January 2030 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | January 2022 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: Proton Radiotherapy
Proton Radiotherapy 4.0 Gy (RBE) x10 fractions to 40 Gy (RBE) Total Dose
Radiation: Proton Radiotherapy |
Detailed Description:
Current standard of care for early stage breast cancer is mastectomy or breast conserving therapy with whole breast irradiation following lumpectomy. However, studies of breast cancer recurrence have demonstrated the majority of tumors to recur in or adjacent to the original tumor site. The question has thus been raised as to whether radiation to the whole breast is necessary or justified. Limiting radiation to the area of the original tumor may reduce acute and long-term skin and organ toxicities while making radiation therapy more convenient and less expensive. Several clinical trials are underway comparing partial breast irradiation (PBI) to whole breast irradiation. Numerous centers are offering partial breast irradiation outside of clinical trials as well, despite the lack of long-term safety and efficacy data on PBI.
Available PBI methods include brachytherapy, in which catheters or balloons are surgically inserted to deliver radiation therapy to the lumpectomy cavity, and conventional external beam radiation therapy, or EBRT. External beam photon therapy is attractive for its non-invasive nature and ability to deliver a more homogenous dose distribution compared to brachytherapy, however it also delivers a greater radiation dose to surrounding normal breast tissue.Proton therapy has the capacity to provide the same advantages as photon EBRT while minimizing dose to normal surrounding tissue. Clinical data on PBI with protons is minimal, however, leaving many questions unanswered. The impetus behind this protocol is to address these gaps by further investigating the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of proton therapy for partial breast irradiation.

About 4 months ago my 2004 Kia Optima stating intermittantly overheating while driving. It did, however, blew a head gasket and radiator several weeks after that. The dealership repair the engire and replaced the radiator, but the car still overheats. I took it back to the dealership and that advise to replace the radiator hoses. I replaced both radiator hoses, timing belt, driving belts, and checked all of the fuses as well, but I still have the same issue of overheating. This issue occurs only when I have the A/C running and I make short stops like at red lights. When the A/C is not running, the call runs just fine without overheating. What could be the problem?

"Greek" fans, we have some kind of wonderful news for you: You'll be meeting Cappie's mother soon, and she's going to look a lot like Lea Thompson.
Thompson will guest-star in an episode of the show's winter run, ABC Family confirms. Jim Abele ("24," "Angel") has also been cast as Cappie's (Scott Michael Foster) dad.
The 'rents will make quite the impression Casey (Spencer Grammer), as they're still committed to the free-spirited lifestyle. The episode featuring Thompson and Abele will air in the back half of "Greek's" midseason order, which begins Jan. 25 and lasts 10 weeks.
Thompson has recently starred in the Hallmark Channel's series of "Jane Doe" movies and has also worked on several feature films in the past couple of years. "Greek" will be her first TV series appearance, however, since she guested on "Law & Order: SVU" in 2004.
And, fun fact: She and Abele have worked together before. He guest-starred on an episode of "Caroline and the City" in 1997.

¶ Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? |
For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. |
So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. |
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. |
For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. |
But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. |
¶ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. |
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. |
For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. |
And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. |
For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. |
Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. |
¶ Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. |
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. |
For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. |
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. |
Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. |
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. |
For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. |
Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. |
¶ I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. |
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: |
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. |
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? |
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. |

text: American entrepreneur and philanthropist Steve Case, 51, made headlines during the dot-com gold rush of the late 1990s as the cofounder and chairman of AOL. Since leaving the company in 2003, the Hawaii-born executive has kept busy, dedicating time to his eponymous foundation and investing in a spate of companies ranging from agricultural holdings to resorts to health care. A longtime wine lover, Case has recently turned the tables, going from wine collector to industry professional. When Vinfolio, an online wine store and platform for person-to-person sales, stumbled financially earlier this year, Case became a significant investor under the umbrella of Revolution, a company he founded in 2005 to invest in tech-friendly businesses. He spoke with associate editor Jennifer Fiedler to discuss why he jumped at that opportunity, what type of wines he has been collecting, and how his tastes have changed.

Bhoom play has a very unique idea for creating a bubble blower.
- Cut off the top of a plastic bottle.
- Cut several straws into 1.5 inch pieces. Cutting enough pieces to fill the width of the mouth of the bottle.
- Bind together the straws with a rubber band and stuff them into the top of the bottle, ensuring each straw is aligned.
Although not listed, consider taping the bottom (cut edge) of the bottle for safety.
Good for ages 6 and up.

I found it all kind of ridiculous, but my solution was to graduate 2 years early, not to fuck with the administration. Didn't seem worth the time or energy.
A better idea would be to create a duplicate A record, not a CNAME. CNAMEs are really meant for something else.
Although in practice, lots of people do use CNAMEs for the purpose you are suggesting.
I am more of a UNIX admin so I don't claim to be an expert on remote Windows management, but I believe the tool you're looking for is Microsoft PowerShell which allows remote WMI scripting. I've seen some pretty impressive demos of infrastructure automation using WMI and PowerShell.
For power cycling and the like, I'd go with the hardware remote management tools (iLo, DRAC, and the like).
A quick Google turned up a few Microsoft articles on PowerShell and WMI. (Article 1, Article 2)

HETE-2 satellite solves mystery of cosmic explosions
An international team of scientists using three NASA satellites and a host of ground-based telescopes believes it has solved the greatest remaining mystery of the mysterious gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the most powerful explosions in the universe. The shorter of two versions of these bursts appear to be caused by the collision of closely orbiting neutron stars or one of those compact stars and a black hole, said Don Lamb, the Louis Block Professor in Astronomy & Astrophysics at the University of Chicago.
"The mystery of short gamma-ray bursts is largely solved," Lamb said. Lamb and his co-authors will describe their finding in a paper that will appear in the Oct. 6 issue of the journal Nature.
That paper details the properties of a short GRB that was detected by NASA's High Energy Transient Explorer 2 (HETE-2) satellite on July 9, 2005. A second paper in the same issue of Nature, written by Pennsylvania State University's Derek Fox and his colleagues, will present follow-up observations of the July 9 burst collected by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope and a variety of ground-based telescopes."All the pieces of the puzzle came together for us with this burst," Fox said. "From the HETE detection to the Great Observatories of Chandra and the Hubble Space Telescope, to ground-based observations by our Danish colleagues, we kept on top of this burst from start to finish."
What produces GRBs had baffled scientists for more than three decades after the announcement of their discovery in 1973. GRBs last anywhere from fractions of a second to many minutes. They occur several times a day, come from any direction in the sky, and even their afterglows shine billions of times brighter than their host galaxies.
In 2003, HETE-2 provided solid evidence linking long GRBs to the collapse of massive stars, which signal the births of black holes. Scientists had collected circumstantial evidence supporting that connection for several years. In the case of the short bursts there has been no such buildup of observational evidence, only theoretical calculations and conjectures.
The Nature papers will document several significant findings associated with the July 9 GRB, officially known as GRB 050709:
First observation of the optical afterglow of a short burst. Afterglows are produced when the jets emitted by the newly formed black hole slam into the interstellar gas that surrounds it. Scientists need these afterglows to track the bursts to their source.
First identification of the galaxy in which a short burst had occurred. "The observation of that optical afterglow led to the identification of the host galaxy," Lamb said.
First secure measurement of distance to a short burst. Astronomically speaking, the host galaxy of the July 9 burst has a redshift of 0.16. This translates to a distance of approximately 1 billion light years from Earth, "so it's about 10 times closer than is typical for long GRBs," he said. "That makes short bursts a thousand times less luminous and a thousand times less energetic than long GRBs."
First determination of where in the host galaxy the burst occurred. It took place in the outskirts of its host galaxy, meaning that it is a very old object. "This alone is very strong evidence that this burst was due to merging neutron stars," Lamb said.
The burned-out cores of dead stars, neutron stars are extremely compact, measuring no more than 10 miles in diameter. The neutron stars producing a short GRB originally would have formed as massive stars in a more centrally located star-forming region of their galaxy. They would have been binary stars--two stars locked in orbit around each other. But after they exhausted their nuclear fuel and exploded, the force would have kicked them out of the star-forming region into the outskirts of their galaxy.
Long bursts, by contrast, have all taken place in the brightest star-forming region of their host galaxies. That's because long bursts are due to the collapse of massive stars, which have relatively short lifetimes, Lamb said.
Penn State's Fox noted that as a result of the observations, scientists now know that short GRBs are not accompanied by supernovae, the collapse of massive stars. "This was a critical test of the merging neutron stars theory," he said. "Also, we can say that the bursts are beamed, jet-like explosions that illuminate about one-thirtieth of the sky."
The jet-like behavior of the bursts also is important information, Fox said. It tells scientists that any process they use to explain the bursts cannot cause material to blast out in every direction. "It also tells us that the true rate of mergers is 30 times the number of bursts we observe," because they would be invisible unless the jets were pointed along sight lines of Earthbound observers. Although the mystery of the short GRBs has been solved, even more exciting discoveries are in the offing, Lamb said. Merging neutron stars are powerful sources of gravitational waves. Albert Einstein incorporated gravitational waves into his 1916 general theory of relativity. No direct measurement of gravitational waves has ever been made. The relative proximity of short GRBs to Earth means that the gravitational waves they emit could be detected by future experiments.
The search for gravitational waves already is in progress at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in Washington and Lousiana. "The first gravitational wave source that LIGO sees may well be a short gamma-ray burst," Lamb said.
Princeton University's Russell Hulse and Joseph Taylor Jr. earned the 1993 Nobel Prize for the indirect detection of gravitational waves. Scientists eagerly await the next step. "This is the stuff of Nobel dreams," Lamb said.

The Tarot
Its Occult Significance, Use in Fortune-Telling, and Method of Play, Etc.
To enter, within the limits of this short treatise, upon any long inquiry into the History of Cards is utterly out of the question; and I shall therefore confine myself to examining briefly into what relates to their most ancient form, the Tarot, or Tarocchi Cards, and to giving, as clearly and concisely as possible, instructions which will enable my readers to utilise them for fortune-telling, to which they are far better adapted, from the greater number and variety of their combinations, than the ordinary cards. I shall also enter somewhat into their occult and Qabalistical significations.The term "Tarot", or "Tarocchi", is applied to a pack of 78 cards, consisting of four suits of 14 cards each (there being one more court card than in the ordinary packs--the Cavalier, Knight, or Horseman), and 22 symbolical picture-cards answering for trumps. These latter are numbered from 1 to 21 inclusive, the 22nd card being marked Zero, 0. The designs of these trumps are extremely singular, among them being such representations as Death, the Devil, the Last Judgment, &c.
The idea that cards were first "invented' to amuse Charles VI of France is now exploded; and it is worthy of note in this connection that their supposititious "inventor" was Jacques Gringonneur, an Astrologer and Qabalist. Furthermore, cards were known prior to this period among the Indians and the Chinese. Etteilla, indeed, gives in one of his tracts on the Tarot a representation of the mystical arrangement of these cards in the Temple of Ptah at Memphis, and he further says:
"Upon a table or altar, at the height of the breast of the Egyptian Magus (or Hierophant), were on one side a book or assemblage of cards or plates of gold (the Tarot), and on the other a vase, etc." This idea is further dilated upon by P. Christian (the disciple of Eliphas Levi), in his "Histoire de la Magie," to which I shall have occasion to refer later. The great exponents of the Tarot, Court de Gèbelin, Levi, and Etteilla, have always assigned to the Tarot a Qabalistico-Egyptian origin, and this I have found confirmed in my own researches into this subject, which have extended over several years.
W. Hughes Willshire, in his remarks on the General History of Playing-Cards, says: "The most ancient cards which have come down to us are of the Tarot's character. These are the four cards of the Musée Correr at Venice; the seventeen pieces of the Paris Cabinet (erroneously often called the Gringonneur, or Charles VI cards of 1392), five Venetian Tarots of the fifteenth century, in the opinion of some not of an earlier date than 1425; and the series of cards belonging to a Minchiate set, in the possession of the Countess Aurelia Visconti Gonzaga at Milan, when Cicognara wrote."
W. A. Chatto, in his "History of Playing-Cards," says that cards were invented in China as early as A.D. 1120, in the reign of Seun-Ho, for the amusement of his numerous concubines.
J. F. Vaillant, in "Les Romes, histoire vraie des vraies Bohémiens," Paris, 1857, says that the Chinese have a drawing divided into compartments or series, based on combinations of the number 7. 1 "It so closely resembles the Tarot, that the four suits of the latter occupy its first four columns; of the twenty-one atouts fourteen occupy the fifth column, and the seven other atouts the sixth column. This sixth column of seven atoutsis that of the six days of the week of creation. Now, according to the Chinese, this representation belongs to the first ages of their empire, to the drying up of the waters of the deluge by IAO; it may be concluded, therefore, that it is an original, or a copy of the Tarot, and, under any circumstances, that the latter is of an origin anterior to Moses, that it belongs to the beginning of our time, to the epoch of the preparation of the Zodiac, and consequently that it must own 6600 years of existence."
But, notwithstanding the apparent audacity of this latter statement, it must be evident on reflection that the Tarot, consisting, as it does, of the ten numbers of the decimal scale counter-changed with the tetrad, and of a hieroglyphic alphabet of twenty-two mystic symbols, must be relegated to far earlier period in the history of the world than that usually assigned to the introduction of cards into Europe; and we may take the fact of the Tarot being the origin of the modern card as being now pretty well established by general consensus of Opinion.
It was Court de Gèbelin who, in his "Monde Primitif" (Paris 1781), wrote: "Were we to hear that there exists in our day Work of the Ancient Egyptians, one of their books which had escaped the flames which devoured their superb libraries, and which contains their purest doctrine on most interesting subjects, every one would doubtless be anxious to acquire the knowledge of so valuable and extraordinary a work. Were we to add that this book is widely spread through a large part of Europe, and that for several centuries it has been accessible to every one, would not it be still more surprising? And would not that surprise be at its height were it asserted that people have never suspected that it was Egyptian, that they possess it in such a manner that they can hardly be said to possess it at all, that no one has ever attempted to decipher a single leaf, and that the outcome of a recondite wisdom is regarded as a mass of extravagant designs which mean nothing in themselves? Would not people think that one was trying to amuse oneself with, and to play upon the credulity of one's hearers?
"Yet this is a true fact. This Egyptian book, the sole remains of their superb libraries, exists to our day; it is even so common that no savant has designed to trouble himself about it, no one before myself having suspected its illustrious origin. This book is composed of seventy-seven leaves or illustrations, or rather of seventy-eight, divided into five classes, which each present objects as various as they are amusing and instructive. In one word, this book is the PACK OF TAROT CARDS."
Let us now examine the word TAROT, or TARO, and discover, if we can, its true derivation and meaning. Court de Gèbelin states that there are three words of Oriental origin preserved in the nomenclature of the Pack. These are TARO, MAT, and PAGAD. Taro, he says, is pure Egyptian; from TAR, Path, and RO, ROS, or ROG, Royal--the Royal Path of Life. MAT is Oriental, and means overpowered, murdered, crack-brained; while PAGAD, he adds, is also Oriental, form PAG, chief, or master, and GAD, Fortune. Vailant says: "The great divinity Ashtaroth, As-taroth, is no other than the Indo-Tartar Tan-tara, the Tarot, the Zodiac." My derivation of the word, which I have never found given by any author, is from the ancient hieroglyphical Egyptian word "târu", to require an answer, or to consult; ergo, that which is consulted, or from which an answer is required. This appears to me to be the correct origin of the word, while the second t is an Egyptian hieroglyphic final, which is added to denote the feminine gender. The following are interesting metatheses of the letters of TARO: TORA (Hebrew) = Law; TROA (Hebrew) = Gate; ROTA (Latin) = wheel; ORAT (Latin) = it speaks, argues, or entreats; TAOR (Egyptian) = Täur, the Goddess of Darkness; ATOR (Egyptian) = Athor, the Egyptian Venus. A Mr. Lumley tells me that there is a Zend word "tarisk", meaning "to require an answer".
There are Italian, Spanish, and German Tarot packs, and since the time of Etteilla French also, but these latter are not so well adapted for occult study owing to Etteilla's attempted "corrections" of the symbolism. The Italian are decidedly the best for divination and practical occult purposes, and I shall, therefore, use them as the basis of the present treatise. Unfortunately the old-fashioned single-headed cards are obsolete now, and the only ones made are double-headed, which circumstance alters the symbolism in a few instances. I shall, therefore, wherever necessary, describe the omitted portion of the design, enclosing it within brackets to mark the same.
As I before observed, the Tarot pack consists of seventy-eight cards--namely, four suits of fourteen cards each, and twenty-two symbolic numbered trumps. The four suits are--
Italian. | French . | English. | Answering to |
Bastoni | Bâtons | Wands, Sceptres, or Clubs | Diamonds |
Coppé | Coupes | Cups, Chalices, or Goblets | Hearts |
Spadé | Épées | Swords | Spades |
Denari | Deniers | Money, Circles, or Pentacles | Clubs |
The Kings, in each instance, wear a cap-of-maintenance beneath the crown; the Queens wear the crown only. The Queen of Pentacles and the Knave of Sceptres are the only ones represented in profile. In the suit of Sceptres the King bears a wand akin to that represented on the small cards of the suit, while the other three honours bear a bludgeon similar to that which is shown for the ace. In the suit of cups, that only which is held by the Queen is covered, thus showing the essentially feminine properties of this suit, while the sceptre held by the King of the preceding suit shows its more masculine character.
If we examine the small cards carefully we shall be struck a once by the comparative similarities of pattern of the Sceptres and the Swords, which are only distinguished from each other by the former being straight and the latter being curved. We shall also notice that the Deuces have peculiarities of their own, which distinguish them from the rest of the suit. The Deuce of Sceptres forms a cross with two roses and two lilies in the opposite angles; the Cross between the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. The Deuce of Cups shows a tesselated pavement or cloth whereon the cups stand; between them is a species of Caduceus, whose serpents are replaced by Lion-headed foliations, which recall the Chnuphis Serpent of the Gnostics, and certain familiar forms of the Elemental Spirits; practical occultists will know to what I allude. The Deuce of Swords forms a species of Vesica piscis enclosing a mystic rose of the primary colours. The Deuce of Pentacles is bound together by a continuous band in such a manner as to form a figure 8, and represents the one as being the reflection of the other, as the Universe is that of the Divine Idea.
The four Aces stand out by themselves from the rest of the pack, each forming, as it were, the Key of its respective suit. The Ace of Sceptres recalls the Club of Hercules; it is surrounded by eight detached leaves, whose shape recalls that of the Hebrew Letter Yod, or I, and is crowned with the Symbol of the Triad represented by the three lopped branches; it is the Symbol of Almighty Strength within the cube of the Universe, which latter is shown by the eight leaves, for eight is the first cubical number. The Ace of Cups is of Egyptian origin, which can be more easily seen in the Spanish Tarot. The figure, like an inverted M on its front, is all that remains of the Egyptian twin Serpents which originally decorated it. It represents the Waters of Creation in the first chapter of Genesis. It is the Symbol of the Power which receives and modifies. The Ace of Swords is a Sword surmounted by a Crown, from which depend on either side an olive and a palm branch, symbolic of mercy and severity; around it are Six Hebrew Yods, recalling the Six days of the Mosaic Creation. It is the Symbol of that Justice which maintains the World in order, the equilibrium of Mercy and Severity. The Ace of Pentacles represents Eternal Synthesis, the great whole of the visible Universe, the Realisation of counterbalanced power.
The 22 trumps are the hieroglyphic symbols of the occult meanings of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. They are numbered from 0 to 21 inclusive. (See Table).
