Dr. Oh, with his considerable expertise in solid tumors, greatly enhances Mount Sinai's ability to create a comprehensive, world-class center for cancer care
New York, NY (Vocus) September 18, 2009
William K. Oh, MD, an internationally recognized expert in the management of genitourinary (GU) malignancies, including prostate, renal, bladder, and testicular cancers, joined The Mount Sinai Medical Center September 1st as Chief of the Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology in the Department of Medicine. A leading clinical trialist, Dr. Oh is known for his expertise in using biological data banks to advance the understanding of cancer and cancer treatment. He developed a large clinical database and specimen repository for GU cancers that included samples from more than 8,000 patients, which yielded significant data about the development and treatment of prostate, renal, and bladder cancers.
At Mount Sinai, Dr. Oh will help lead in the development of a clinical database for prostate cancer with the goal of creating a larger specimen and clinical database for the Tisch Cancer Institute that will include multiples types of cancers. He will also serve as Co-Director of the Prostate Cancer Program, Associate Director for Clinical Research for The Tisch Cancer Institute, and as the Ezra M. Greenspan, MD Professor in Clinical Cancer Therapeutics, and Professor of Medicine and Urology.
"Dr. Oh, with his considerable expertise in solid tumors, greatly enhances Mount Sinai's ability to create a comprehensive, world-class center for cancer care," said Dennis S. Charney, MD, Dean of Mount Sinai School of Medicine and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs of the Medical Center. "Clinician-researchers like Dr. Oh, who can bring a molecular understanding of cancer to bear on treatment, are at the forefront of translational oncology."
Adds Steven J. Burakoff, MD, Director of The Tisch Cancer Institute, "In Dr. Oh, we have found a cutting-edge clinical investigator who utilizes tumor banks and bioinformatics to understand the genetics of cancer."
During his 12 years as an attending physician at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) and Brigham and Women's Hospital, both in Boston, Dr. Oh became a national leader in developing clinical trials examining neoadjuvant chemotherapy in men with high-risk localized prostate cancer as well as in studying the role of platinum chemotherapy in castration-resistant prostate cancer. At Dana-Farber, Dr. Oh served as Clinical Director of the Lank Center for Genitourinary Oncology and Director of the Gelb Center for Translational Research and was the founding Chair of the Data and Safety Monitoring Committee for Phase I/II Trials at the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center. There, he developed a large clinical database and specimen repository for GU cancers that has enrolled more than 8,000 patients with prostate, renal and bladder cancer in the past decade.
The Dana-Farber database is unique in that it has richly annotated clinical data tied to human samples, including blood and tissue, DNA, RNA, sites of metastases, and treatment information. The sheer size of this database allows for a more specific characterization of the heterogeneous nature of the cancers being studied. Though still relatively new, the database has already resulted in the publication of dozens of papers ranging from clinical to blood-based genomic studies.
"My primary research interest is prostate cancer and with a very active prostate cancer program at Mount Sinai, this is a great opportunity to build a comparable database within a short period of time," said Dr. Oh. "The size and diversity of the population of New York City will offer additional opportunities to establish a significant prostate cancer clinical database at Mount Sinai. The timing could not be better, because we are not beholden to the technologies of a decade ago when we started our database in Boston. Genetic and genomic information requires powerful storage and search capacities, which has improved significantly in recent years. When we build the new database at Mount Sinai, we will add improvements, such as building in Internet access capability, which will allow greater flexibility in entering data across multiple clinics and multiple sites as well as easier collaboration with other institutions. In addition, working with the Center for Bioinformatics at Mount Sinai, we will have the ability to automatically retrieve clinical data from electronic medical records."
Dr. Oh has authored more than 150 original articles, reviews, and book chapters on myriad topics, including the management of advanced prostate and renal cancer. He has recently edited two books on prostate cancer. He has served on the Cancer Education Committee of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and is a core member of the Genitourinary Committee of Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB). In addition to reviewing for prominent journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of Clinical Oncology, and Cancer, Dr. Oh co-edits "Testicular Cancer" for Up to Date, and is on the editorial boards of Clinical Genitourinary Cancer and American Journal of Hematology and Oncology.
A Native New Yorker, Dr. Oh earned his medical degree from New York University School of Medicine. He completed his residency in internal medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. He subsequently completed a fellowship in medical oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in 1997.

Overclocking the GF114 should not be a problem, regardless of whether it's reference or specially designed GTX 560 Ti. Most GTX 560 Ti cards will run stable at 920+MHz. Club3D's cooling provides a nice foundation for a healthy overclock and we got to following results. We managed to push the GPU from 880MHz to 970MHz, and the card remained quiet throughout.
Thermals and Noise
As far as noise levels go, the GTX 560 Ti CoolStream's cooler is almost inaudible when idle, with GPU temperature around 34°C. The GTX 560 Ti CoolStream OC Edition is almost inaudible during operation too. In our case, intensive 3D resulted in GPU temperature of about 79°C, but it's a pretty good balance between thermals and noise levels since the fan was inaudible throughout.

In Honor of Jackie Robinson
I wanted to do something extra special this year for Jackie Robinson day. Not only did Jackie break the color barrier for Major League baseball, but he was such an inspiration to many. Ken Griffey Jr was the first to start wearing the number 42 on this special day and now every player wears that number on April 15th.
I came up with this idea to donate to a charity. At first, I was going to donate to one charity in the amount of $420 dollars. And then I thought about donating to five or six charities to the tune of $4.20. Then I decided to donate to a whole bunch of charities by giving .42 cents to as many honorable ones that I could find. Well, I found about 10. And since I'm not rich, I narrowed it down to about five. Here's the list of charities I donated my .42 cents to:
Bud Norris' Candlelighters Charity
Brad Ziegler's Pasttime for Patriots Charity
Tony La Russa's ARF Foundation
Some charities wouldn't accept my .42 cents so I ended up donating $1.00. There were quite a few foundations/charities that I tried to donate to. For various reasons on their part, donating never happened. Here's a list of foundations I attempted to donate to:
Hopefully, these pages get fixed soon so I can finish what I set out to accomplish. I just got overly frustrated by the lack of updating on some of these pages. Some of them didn't even work. How can a guy donate his hard-earned cash to charities when the page is not working? Anyway. Enough of that. Leave a comment if you have a charity you'd like me to donate to or hit me up on Twitter at @MLBwayneMLB. I'd be happy to send some donations your way, for sure!

USC responds to final NCAA Decision
The University of South Carolina has received the final decision from the NCAA regarding allegations against the Athletics' program.
The Committee agreed the penalties self-imposed by the University in its response to the Notice of Allegations were appropriate. The Committee's decision states:
"The committee decided not to impose more stringent sanctions in this case, including a postseason ban because: i) the cooperation exhibited by the institution went beyond its obligations under [NCAA Bylaws]; ii) the violations were limited in scope; iii) the institution self-imposed significant penalties and; iv) there was no unethical conduct in this case."
"The University regrets the past actions and decisions by individuals that resulted in violations of NCAA legislation," Eric Hyman, USC director of Athletics said. "We are pleased, however, that the Committee on Infractions found the corrective actions we have taken and the penalties we have self-imposed reflect the University's commitment to full compliance with NCAA rules."

Noted atheist Christopher Hitchens compares monotheistic belief to living under a despotic dictatorship similar to what he reported on in North Korea. The one difference, he notes, "You can get out of North Korea -- you can die, and it's over. You can't do that with monotheism."
Author and atheist Christopher Hitchens notes an increasing audience for "resistance to clerical bullying." He cites examples of society's widespread frustration with outdated religious traditions and champions the perseverance of scientific thought.
Sign up today to receive our weekly newsletter and special announcements.
Good evening. I am Barbara Meade I am one of the owners here in Politics and Prose. First I assured Christopher Hitchens that I had checked everybody's ID at the door. Their high brows, they have a high tolerance of outrage and they also have a very good sense of humor. So we have we have a and credit cards too. So we have we have a good audience here tonight. We need to have a good audience because that our author tonight was named by a foreign policy magazine, near the head of their list at the 100 top public intellectuals in the world. The London Observer who has named him as one of the most brilliant journalists of our time. It's a lot to live up to, this evening Christopher. Christopher Hitchens he has been a long time contributor to Vanity Fair, the Nation, Slate, Times Literary Supplement, the Spectator, the Atlantic monthly and it could go on and on like that but, you know, I really shouldn't even have to introduce him. I thought I could just pass out copies of Michael Kingsley's over the top front page review in the New York Times coming up this Sunday. Right there "In God, Distrust". It's a one it's a wonderful review, it's what, I I can't really put it this way. It's what all, every author prays for. Michael Kingsley writes in the review Hitchens is is the bohemian and the swell, the dashing foreign correspondent, the painstaking literary critic and the intellectual engagé. I will say this that Michael Kingsley takes Hitchens to task for being a little bit too quick to resort to French in search of le mot juste. But Michael Kingsley, you might point out to him, Christopher, is guilty a little bit of the same thing in this review. Michael Kingsley goes on to say that Christopher Hitchen's charms Washington hostesses but will set off a stink pot if the opportunity presents itself. Now I am a little bit ambivalent about whether I want to offer that opportunity, this evening. Christopher Hitchen's self described hope in this book is that this book will become the part of the long over due fight back against superstition, sexual repression, political fanaticism and all the other ways in which the faith base have chosen to present themselves. And as Kingsley answers his review he says, "God should be flattered. Unlike unlike most of those clamoring for his attention Hitchens treats him like an adult." One, one final word on his recent 58th birthday in April, Christopher Hitchens became an American citizen. So we all want to wish you Happy Birthday and welcome to America. An impossibly handsome and generous introduction, for which thanks my fellow Americans. I have waited, waited a long time to say that. It was the 13th of April last indeed Mister Jefferson's birthday and mine. And I took my oath at his memorial on the Tidal Basin and I swore particularly to announce one foreign Prince among all the ones that I was sworn to abjure the slobbering dauphin Prince Charles who because of because of when his mother's demise should occur, God should forbid it but when it does occur who will become not just the Head of the State of my country of birth but the Head of the Armed Forces and the Head of the Church and can't stay married. And can't seem to tell a nice girl from a nasty one and who says that he wants to become a Muslim. This is what you get when you found a Church on the family values of Henry the VIIIth. I sometimes think that you, you my fellow Americans who came by this naturally didn't have the strain of going through homeland security before putting up your hand. Don't know how lucky you are. But it's at least given me a new slogan which, to which I invite your attention. When I took my oath to the man who wrote and wanted it among the few things mentioned on this obelisk, the Virginia's statutes on religious freedom, which becomes the basis of our very precious the first amendment. It occurred to me to say in honor of his most famous defense of that position. Mr. Jefferson, build up this wall. Well I am I am not going to. Of course, it's slightly depressing to see how many lugubrious atheists are here with nothing better to do on an evening so full of the bounties of god and the evanescence that he showered on you but so I wouldn't detain you long. I would just I think one can make the case that my book makes under, a couple of brief headings. I wish I will do and then I will be your prisoner and I will be the hostage of any question. Religion itself begins in the infancy the fearful cringing excremental infancy, infancy is charming in infants not very charming in grown ups of our species of our species. Religion begins at a time when people don't know there is a germ theory of disease. They don't know that the earth revolves around the sun. If I they believe the contrary, they don't know whether the earth is round or flat. They don't know when they are told they are given dominion overall species, in genesis. In just not just the - passage doesn't mention any marsupials because the rightists don't know the existence of Australia, doesn't mention any micro-organisms over which the last we still don't have - Dominion. Its it comes from this primitive base cringing, fearful period but our minds fortunately are still patterned to look for argument and for explanation and even a conspiracy theory is better than no theory at all and religion is essentially the conspiracy theory of the origin of the cosmos. And with species but as (Heinrich Hinze) had beautifully put it, and the period before his books were burnt and his reputation was besmirched. In times of extreme darkness where you don't know the road, even a local who is blind and deaf maybe a good guide. But when this dawn breaks you can't bid adieu to this guide however, decent he was to you when it was dark. So that the religious have every thing still ahead of them, they have never been able to prove the existence of God. The cleverest theologians have broken their chops on the question. And that's fine we wouldn't expect them to. But they want to go a step further, they wouldn't say no that, there is such an entity but they know his mind. That they know who and they are able to interpret for you and tell you what to do on this basis. He knows and they can tell you, what he made? With whom he may have this is a family values store, I know, Congress. What books it might be advisable to read. What other practices might be avoided. This is this is an impossible solipsism, an impossible arrogance and self centeredness and it comes, this authoritarianism, in an awfully masochistic guy who should put you off it to begin with. It says bare in mind that you are already dust. As the Christian book says, or you are only fashioned from a clot of blood as the cross is. Bear in mind that you would you were convicted and found guilty before you were conceived of crimes in which you couldn't have possibly been involved and you have all the burden of proof at your own defense and you have been found guilty. But to make up for that role of horrible indictment you can be reassured that the entire cosmos is designed with you in mind. False translation and that he has a plan for you, on condition that you agree to be a serf forever. I am one of the very few people, I know, and the only writer who has been to all three axis of evil countries in the years that lapsed since 2001 I had been to Iran to Iraq and North Korea and I could entail, I am told his lightest word would have their soul and freeze their young blood. Cause their several hairs to stand on end like quills upon the fretful porpentine but the article that I read, that was most praised was from North Korea. A lot of praise for it was reprinted a lot and it, I mention it because it's the article which I am most ashamed. Whenever whenever I am praised I cringe, I clutch because I know it's my greatest failure as a writer. I did my best to show what it might be like to be a North Korean. I I tried everything I knew, to try and get people to think what it would be like for 10 minutes to be a North Korea, the misery, the pointlessness, the horror, the crushing, nothingness of being a and the deprivations and the humiliations that it would be involved. I know I couldn't I do it, I know I failed. But it taught me one thing, it answered a question I had had since I was very small. I used to wonder what paradise would be like as described by my preachers and tutors, they said well it will be eternal praise. You get all the time to praise, you sing praises the entire time to someone who in creating you was doing only what came naturally. I used to think that's sounds like hell to me. But but I used to think, also, but fortunately, a bit like hell, I couldn't quite imagine now I can. Now I have been to a state where that's the case. Now I have been to where eternal praise is mandatory. Now I have seen a state, it has a dear leader and a great leader as probably, you know, that. The great leader, the dear leader as far as you don't know is not in fact the President of North Korea. He is only the head of the party and of the armed forces. His late father is still the President, thus we have a Necrocracy, or you might say a Mozelocracy, or Sanitocracy and you may notice also only one short opportunity and that's what you have to praise from dawn till dusk, so now I know what it would be like but this is one exception. You can't get out of North Korea, you can die and it's over. You can't do that with monotheism, they have only just started with it. Well you laugh, I am trying to make you cry and you laugh. Imagine how I feel. In the old testament you find, as I said in my book, one or two chapters you find the war (unfold) , racism, genocide, slavery, witch burning, mutilation of infants and all the rest of it that's all mandated. But not just praised but mandated, it's pretty rough, notoriously rough but when the earth closes over you after these treatments, that's it. There is no talk of punishing the dead, not until gentle Jesus, meek and mild late of Nazareth or arguably Bethlehem is the idea of eternal torture for children who die unbaptized or in other ways introduced into our culture. That's some of the my central, what I think is my central point. Religion is not just untrue and an obvious manmade falsification. I think there is no one who doesn't essentially know that but there aren't many people, many atheists who say, they can't believe it but they wish they could but it would be nice to believe it. No it wouldn't, it would be the wish for an absolutely impermeable dictatorship that couldn't even be criticized let alone overthrown, that went on forever, that supervised and invigilated your every waking moment and would not stop torturing you even after you were dead. To wish this to be true is to wish to be a slave, it is an immoral belief. I know that Daniel Dennis said something like this to you or some of you once before because I heard him do it. He is a great friend of mine, Professor Steven Weinberg one of our greatest biologists, made the, I think, very cool and laconic observation. In a average ordinary moral, universal moral society, people of goodwill will do such good as they can and those who are sociopathic or psychopathic will do as much evil as it seems to them possible to do but if you want to get good people to do wicked things you need religion. Who of average moral sensibility would mutilate the genitals of a child? For example, lets say here I have had a baby, a gift from God perhaps, who is by the way a perfect designer and what could be a better instance if you felt that, that looking at a new born maybe maybe there is a perfect design of that but on the other hand if we sawed away the genitalia with a sharp stone, it might look a bit better. Anyway that's what that tells you to do. It's enough to make a cat laugh isn't it, it would would be if it wasn't so appalling, so obscene, so tragic and so nasty. To blow yourself up in an old people's home in Netania on Passover is through commission action that will be praised from Minarets and along the electronic media by evil old mullahs everyday. No such action could be possibly endorsed by a person of average morality if it were not endorsed supernaturally. I am sure everyone here can think of therefore own favorite example and so I probably would be trespassing on your time if I went on any further but I get the impression that kind of the US it is come to celebrate my birthday and all, that probably it wouldn't have been quite like this a couple of years ago. I think there is a change in the zeitgeist going on and I have every reason to think what I say is correct. Professor Hawkins and Dennis who have both mentioned and Sam Harris or I could, my other musketeer, have all found in the recent past that this is large audience now for a bit of resistance to clerical bullying and religious lecturing and self righteousness and menace see what you get. He is holding as the Pope having just repudiated limbo after a long struggle. The place where the souls of unbaptized children always went apparently it was never there. Tell it no, but it's serious, tell it to the parents of those children. I have met them people, the people who thought that's where that poor kids have gone having died before they could breathe properly and not been. That's where they though they were, so it was real to them. What characteristics is this to say oh it wasn't really real enough so we made that bit up. They can't do this. It was real, it was a real place for those parents and for the brothers and sisters, of those children too they wept of the thought of where the little one had gone and to say, oh never mind. By the way we we are wrong about this, but we are now ready to be, in fact that we are all over again. This is disgusting and in the same week as he does this the Pope repeats, that we need to teach the children more about hell. Go back again to terrify the composure of young and the innocent with these horrifying stories told them by maladjusted elderly virgins. This is wicked, this is wickedness and we know the consequences of that which have been disclosed, I have described in my book in as follows. Because I render it in Latin, no child's behind left. Crimes are committed that none of us would think of committing but are allowed to those of faith and AIDS in Africa as this maybe bad but nothing like as bad as a condom. This is not morality, meanwhile our Supreme Court refuses to say as it should. That not one American dollar can be used ever for the establishment of the Jewish religion on the West Bank of the Jordan River. We will not have people who want to bring on Armageddon and the Messiah, we will not treat them as friends or as allies, we should recognize them as enemies. Those who look forward eagerly to the destruction of our species and our world. That Danish cartoonist can't do his job in Copenhagen without being threatened with death and his nations tiny economy and Democracy threatened with violence and coercion is bad enough that not one American news outlet would reprint those cartoons out of sheer fear, sheer fear and cowardice is worse and the Borders Books should pull from the magazine rack, the only magazine that I write for, it's called the Free Enquiry I recommend it you, would say oh well, we know what to do about that. We are not selling it. It's even worse. How much more of this are we going to put up with, that people will come and say we insist on teaching pseudo-science to our children in American schools with taxpayers money? What is this? Children the astronomy class is over can you now get ready for the astrology period. They want equal time, they don't want equal time. They want dictatorship of pseudoscience and garbage. The chemistry class was over but after the break we will be doing alchemy. Unless on the conditions that I propose, since George Bush and his wisdom, the man who said that Vladimir Putin is a good man because he wears a crucifix around his neck in a strong field the stupidest thing the President has yet said. A man of faith says that the faith based initiative may give government money to churches, the government looks after - or the state looks after the rich. The churches can look after the poor and tax breaks are given to religious institutions, very well equal time, all right equal time. Any all of those churches in receipt of subsidy or tax breaks must now teach, evolution half the time in their Sunday schools, in their religious services. And distribute the literature in the church porches is not what they want. I doubt it but don't fail to take them up on it because that's what I am talking about. We have to fight back now we could be, we have the constellations of humor and irony and we have a better tradition than they do it. It goes to back to Democratists and they are peculiarists, and (indiscernible) and it goes through Galileo and Newton and Spinoza and Voltaire and Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Payne and Albert Einstein. We have a tradition that it - by all means understands about the transcendent, about the all inspiring. We have the Hubble telescope. We have the pages of Steven Hawkins. We have the extraordinary ethical scientism of of Albert Einstein. We have nothing to be ashamed of, we have something really nutritious, the beauties of science and reason of the constellations of philosophy to offer people and we are expected to be impressed by those who talked about the burning bush. So time for resistance to the extent that I can help to ignite it I am I am very proud for myself to the extent that you might want to join and I hope you will all consider yourselves incredibly welcome. Thank you so much for coming.

BOSTON (Reuters) - A Massachusetts state representative with strong ties to organized labor is closing in on a former schoolteacher-turned-city councilor in the Boston mayoral race, according to a poll released on Wednesday.
City Councilor John Connolly had the support of 35 percent of likely voters, while 34 percent said they intended to vote for state Representative Marty Walsh, according to a MassINC Polling Group poll of 503 likely voters conducted for WBUR radio over the weekend.
Twenty-eight percent of voters were undecided, with less than two weeks to go till the November 5 election.
The poll had a margin of error of 4.4 percent, making the finding a statistical tie.
A poll earlier this month by the Boston Herald and Suffolk University showed Connolly with a 41 percent-34 percent lead on Walsh.
Both candidates are Democrats and seeking to succeed Boston's longest-serving mayor, Thomas Menino, who plans to step down after 20 years in office.
Thirty-four percent of voters surveyed said they were concerned that labor unions would have "too much" influence on City Hall if Walsh, who holds a key leadership role in the city's local laborer's union, is elected. Just 10 percent of voters thought unions would have too much power if Connolly were elected.
Walsh's campaign has enjoyed strong support from local unions, while Connolly has focused on education issues, calling for a longer school day and simplifying the process by which students are assigned to local schools.
Boston mayors don't face term limits and are rarely defeated in re-election campaigns. The city has not elected a Republican mayor since 1926.

Great for students who do not want to have a lot of college involvement and just want to get school over and done with as soon as possible.
Bang for the buck
You can take a good amount of classes, if you schedule permits, for a very minute amount of money.
Food and Dining
The little caf�© is nice, and the coffee is really good. It is also half off on Mondays.
Dorm Life
There are no dorms at NMSU- Carlsbad
Academic Rigor
This school is not very rigorous at all. I was a B student in high school and I have all A's in my classes. Teachers do not give a lot of homework but the homework they do give, amounts for a lot of your grade.
Tips for prospective students
I would advise prospective students to take advantage of all the teachers' office times, and get help before you are failing a class. Also, there are many tutoring services one can take advantage of.

The campus is really small, yet it still provides a college atmosphere. The teachers are very nice, and are always willing to help their students. It is like any other college, but is actually a junior college.

A small friendly campus. Students feel welcome here, and do not feel swallowed up among the thousands of other students. It's a good choice for students who want their college experience to feel personal.

I don't want to sound like I am bashing my school but there really isn't much to do. Maybe around town you might want to go check out the recreational center, or maybe check out the Carlsbad caverns.
Food and Dining
There really isn't much you can do at New Mexico State University-Carlsbad. On the college campus you can go to the book store and find a snack or something when your hungry but that's about it. If you go around town then your options for food get bigger.
Dorm Life
Sadly since New Mexico State University-Carlsbad is a community college no dorms are to be available. I was looking forward to the college dorm life too. But independent housing is available, the college isn't far from town so there should be no trouble getting to class on time.

This is my first time going to college and what can say is that when I found myself paying actual attention I began to learn. Once you focus on your studies it gets a lot easier. Trust me if I can do it you can do it too.
Tips for prospective students
Here's some tips to succeed in New Mexico State University-Carlsbad, paying attention. Paying attention in class will determine what you learn and what you don't want to learn. It is very critical that when you go to class that you're the mentally like you are physically. Another simple tip for success is to know that you are not alone and that there is help in the team center waiting for you. The team center is a place where college professionals are available to help when you feel stuck or feel that you don't understand something. Follow those tips and success will be in your near future.

New Mexico State University-Carlsbad is a community college which offers a two year college program. The campus is very smal but the employeed teachers make up for that. The faculty staff is very generous and they are always available to help you when you are in need of assistance.

When is the right time to let a suffering pet go? I (Dr. Henri Bianucci) always tell clients that when their pet will not eat on their own and/or are not able to sleep comfortably, they are suffering and it's time.
Pumpkin came into our lives eight years ago, when she was 12. My daughter saw her on a pug rescue website and immediately called. A quick drive to Beaufort followed.
I was at work at the time and returned home to find my wife, daughters and two strange pugs on the couch. Let's just say I was not as happy as they were, but I realized I was partially responsible for the mentality that prevailed in our home, which had led to this, so, of course, my objections were token at best.
Pumpkin was blind due to a corneal disease and her airway was so obstructed by an overlong palate and narrow nasal passages, that she could only walk a few steps without turning blue. I reasoned that we could make her last a year or two comfortable, so I performed surgery on her and this issue resolved.
Pumpkin was a darling soul and, although older, still quite a beautiful little pug.
Though sweet to everyone, she adored my wife. When left alone with me in the summer, Punky led a somewhat muted existence. But upon my wife's return she would shriek with joy, as a testament to her love and adoration.
As the years rolled past, Pumpkin grew old. Two years turned to three, four, five, then eight. Punky was now 20 years old. Her interactions had wound down to the simple act of sitting with us, which, next to eating, was her primary joy in life. Her bathroom habits had become erratic, to say the least.
One night, when the family was out of town, I was asleep in bed with Punky. In the middle of the night, I was partially awakened by her climbing over me; in my semi-sleep state I barely noticed until her third or fourth pass. I realized she was walking in circles around the bed and my head was in the path. I awakened further, noticing an unusual odor and a slight moisture on my cheek, as Pumpkin passed over. I then bolted into full consciousness and horror. Pumpkin had defecated on the opposite side of the bed and proceeded to walk laps through it.
Despite these and similar episodes, we loved Pumpkin and were willing to continue to give her all the care she needed, as long as her life was comfortable.
Things changed slowly, and then all of a sudden. She was anxious and seemed to be in discomfort, but we could not localize the source. At this point, aggressive diagnostics and treatment were not on the table.
Then, for the first time, she could not sleep comfortably. Her breathing was labored, she would not walk, and we knew it was time to let her go.
I took the day off work and took her to Angel Oak Veterinary Clinic on Johns Island. I was putting her to sleep at home, but I wanted an IV catheter in place so there would be no discomfort or restraint.
We sat in bed with her and gave her a sedative. There she was. On her bed, sleeping on my wife's lap, her favorite place in the world. We talked about her, and to her. We assured each other that this was the right thing to do, and the right time to do it. The drugs began to flow and Pumpkin did not resist. She was tired, and ready, and passed quietly and peacefully.
Afterwards, we decided that we would bury her at home, but that we would have to build a wooden box for this. I had no scrap wood and we live pretty far out of town, so I decided to go to a home construction site down the road.
Simon Black was the construction company and I pulled up and asked if they had any scraps I could use. When I told them the reason, their response was touching. "Of course we have wood, but you don't want to spend all that time building this. We could put something together in no time." I thanked them and said that was not necessary, but they insisted.
Twenty minutes later, they presented me with a beautiful cypress and pine box, with a fitted top and handle. What a beautiful place we live in, where workers would take time from their work, to acknowledge the meaning this little dog's passing has in the life of a stranger.
Occasionally, I, too, am faced with the difficult decision as to when to let a pet go, and I gain renewed appreciation of the pain that my clients go through. The simple criteria for suffering that I stated becomes clouded the closer we get to the end.
The truth is that there is no simple formula. We try and assess quality of life, but really, what does that mean?
Punkin never did much more, or enjoy anything better, than sitting with us. As she aged, this did not change much. For someone with an athletic dog that lived an active life, this quality would have seemed low.
I can say that I have never had a client say, in retrospect, "I think we let go too soon." Far more frequently, the concern is that they waited too long.
With this in mind, I knew in my heart that my dog was not comfortable, and there was nothing I could reasonably do to change this. It was time. I remembered a comment a client made to me at the passing of her dog, "There is nothing inhumane about releasing a healthy soul from an unwell body." Indeed, it is the most humane thing you can do.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — BJ Young ran into a crowd on his first attempt at a game winner.
The Arkansas guard stayed outside the second time around, hitting a late 3-pointer in double overtime to help the Razorbacks hold on and secure an 88-80 win over Auburn on Wednesday night.
The win was the second straight for the Razorbacks, who survived the hot-shooting Tigers and guard Frankie Sullivan's five second-half 3-pointers.
They did so behind Marshawn Powell's 28 points and 11 rebounds, while Young added 22 and Mardracus Wade 12 for Arkansas (11-5, 2-1 Southeastern), which now has won seven of its last eight games. Powell had 21 points in the second half and overtimes, finishing with his second-highest point total of the season while playing 44 minutes.
"It felt real good," Powell said. "Auburn's very, very tough, and they play defense and make sure they hit you every time.
"I'm just glad we pulled it out."
It was Young, however, who had the ball in the closing seconds of both of the overtime periods. The sophomore drove into traffic and was blocked by a trio of Auburn defenders near the end of the first overtime, but he had the right answer the second time around.
Young's 3-pointer with 26.7 seconds remaining in the second overtime gave Arkansas an 84-78 lead and all but clinched the win for the Razorbacks, who never trailed in the second extra period.
Coty Clarke and Kikko Haydar then hit four free throws in the closing seconds to secure the win, but it was Young's decision to remain outside against the Tigers' zone defense that paid off.
"He made plays; he took what the defense gave him," Arkansas coach Mike Anderson said. "I thought that was critical."
Sullivan led Auburn (8-8, 2-1) with 26 points, 23 of them after halftime. He was 5 of 11 on 3-pointers, and the Tigers were 11 of 25 overall from behind the arc.
"It's very disappointing," Sullivan said. "I don't think nobody that is competitive likes losing, especially when you come in here and it's hard to win in the first place, and every time, you're that close, and you can't turn the corner. It's very disappointing."
The two teams combined to finish 27 of 50 from the free-throw line, with Auburn going 7 of 17.
Rob Chubb added 12 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out for the Tigers, who were attempting to win three in a row in the SEC for the first time since 2009.
"It was a tough game," Auburn coach Tony Barbee said. "We talk about in league play just giving ourselves an opportunity on the road. You've got to take care of home court. That's what Arkansas did tonight.
"We gave ourselves a chance to win on the road, and I'm proud of the way our guys fought."
Auburn led 12-6 early after back-to-back 3-pointers by Shaquille Johnson, keeping its lead at six at 14-8 following Asauhn Dixon-Tatum's third basket of the half.
Arkansas, which had struggled to score in its first two SEC games, followed with a 17-0 run and appeared to have found its offensive rhythm. Fred Gulley started the run with a 3-pointer, and Clarke's jumper put the Razorbacks up 21-15 with 10:53 remaining in the first half — and matched the number of points Arkansas scored in the entire first half against Vanderbilt on Saturday.
Haydar's 3-pointer capped the run, putting the Razorbacks up 25-14 and appearing to give them a commanding lead against an Auburn team that entered the game 0-4 against Arkansas under Barbee.
That comfort level didn't last long, with the Tigers using an 8-0 run to pull within 28-25 late in the half after a bank shot by Sullivan.
The SEC's second-leading scorer at 17.2 points per game began to find his shot to open the second half. He scored and was fouled early, following that up with a 3-pointer after his missed free throw to pull Auburn within 37-32.
Sullivan then gave the Tigers their first lead since the opening minutes when he hit his third 3-pointer to put Auburn up 51-50. He followed that with his fourth 3-pointer moments later to extend the lead to 54-51, and Rob Chubb's dunk on the break make it 61-55 and improved the Tigers to 14 of 18 from the field in the second half.
Sullivan wasn't finished, hitting his fifth 3-pointer of the half to put Auburn up 64-59, but Arkansas rallied with a late 8-0 run to take a 67-64 lead in the closing minute.
Wade missed what would likely have been a pair of game-clinching free throws with 25.9 seconds left, and Allen Payne took advantage on the other end for the Tigers — hitting their 10th 3-pointer of the game with 5.2 seconds remaining to force overtime.
"A hard-fought win for our Razorbacks," Anderson said. "We had to fight for, typically you say 40 minutes, but it took 50 minutes tonight."
"(Auburn) would not go away, and that's the sign of a team that's really playing some good basketball," he added.

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino will help to kick off the carnival celebrations for the 2014 Mardi Gras by reigning over the annual Orpheus Parade in New Orleans, Louisiana in March (14).
The Django Unchained director has been selected as the 2014 Celebrity Monarch and will lead a 27-float procession through the city's streets on the Monday night before Mardi Gras (03Mar14).
R&B and rock icon Fats Domino was previously named the honorary grand marshal of the Lundi Gras parade, but his eldest son, Antoine Domino III, will attend in the reclusive star's place.
Veteran rockers Cheap Trick and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and The Party Crashers will be among the performers at the street party.
Actors Gary Sinise and Mariska Hargitay presided over the crowds at last year's (13) Orpheus event, which was co-founded by New Orleans native Harry Connick, Jr. in 1993. Whoopi Goldberg, Sandra Bullock, Stevie Wonder and Cyndi Lauper have all taken part in the fun in previous years.

AAAAAAAAARGH!!! It's an On The Road overload!
And I like it ;)
After the trailer was FINALLY released (unf, just how awesome is it?!) now there are new pics and posters and I so can't wait to finally see this flick - but we get into that a little further down the "scroll" (*ten Kerouac points to me*).
In other news, our apologies for the delay in this post - boring things like work and time zones sometimes keep us from getting our OTR on... collectively at least, we're always rocking like KStew solo ;)
And here we go...
- Lorabell x
Chapter summary:
So with Sal finally arriving in Denver, he's anxious for a long awaited reunion with Dean and Carlo... who, not surprisingly, have been occupied with elsewhere: with women; and themselves.
Dean's juggling MaryLou, Camille and at least a third woman... not to mention Carlo's man crush. When Dean's not hopping beds, the two cats fan their own egos!
What will Sal do now?
Breaking it down - an excerpt:
LettieLou: Well, let me start by saying...
LettieLou: DEAN
Lorabell: (and his enormous schlong?)
LettieLou: and his "schedule"
Lorabell: schedule - so close
LettieLou: HAHAHAHA
that's to come
pun intended
Lorabell: bam!
LettieLou: (note to the reader: we're not normally so filthy)
Lorabell: (psh, not in the final edit)
LettieLou: I think this chapter gives us the first REAL glimpse of Dean
and what's important to him
Lorabell: he is SUCH a MAN WHORE
LettieLou: worse... a sneaky and calculated man whore
Lorabell: now, I know it was the beginning of that era, etc
but EXACTLY, so calculated
LettieLou: he knows how to get what he wants
Lorabell: DINGDINGDING!
master manipulator
LettieLou: because marylou is NOT STUPID
Lorabell: but i don't think he's that "smart" - he's just charming
LettieLou: though she's going to appear it for awhile
Lorabell: word, she totes has the upper hand that way
LettieLou: oh and she does...

"Mary Knows Best" (Syfy 7 p.m.) It takes a certain stretch of the imagination to program a "reality" show on the "science fiction" network. But here it is, anyway. See, Mary is a self-proclaimed psychic and—theoretically, at least—actually does know best.
"Cellblock 6: Female Lock Up" (TLC 8 p.m.) I have a feeling this new docu-reality show about women in prison will prove that a whole lot of '70s sexploitation movies lied to me.
The Jensen Project (KOB-4 7 p.m.) LeVar Burton ("Star Trek: The Next Generation"), Patricia Richardson ("Home Improvement") and Kellie Martin ("ER") star in this made-for-TV movie about a family of super-genius scientists who must battle an evil ex-colleague seeking to rule the world.
"Man, Woman, Wild" (Discovery 7 p.m.) First, we had one-man wilderness survival shows ("Man vs. Wild"). Then, we had two-man wilderness survival shows ("Dual Survival"). Now, we've got a husband-and-wife wilderness survival show. Next up: family with 10 kids wilderness survival show. After that: little people wilderness survival show. Bless you, cable, and your reassuring predictability.
"DC Cupcakes" (TLC 8 p.m.) Because—just like cake-baking reality shows—we can never have too many cupcake-baking reality shows.
A Look Under the Big Top (TCM 6 p.m.) TCM stokes our coulrophobia (fear of clowns, don't you know) with a four-pack of scary circus films, including 1932's Freaks (6 p.m.), 1960's Circus of Horrors (7:15 p.m.), 1967's Berserk (9 p.m.) and 1933's Circus Queen Murder (11 p.m.).
"Powering the Future" (Discovery 7 p.m.) Personally, I think the energy of the future will come from burning discarded cell phone batteries.
"Tia & Tamera Take 2" (Style 8:30 p.m.) If, like me, you've spent the last 15 years wondering what ever happened to the long-lost African-American version of the Olsen Twins, here's your answer!
"Strange Sex" (TLC 8 p.m.) Well, only if you do it right.
Lucky (HBO 7 p.m.) Filmmaker Jeffrey Blitz examines how winning the lottery changes the lives of ordinary Americans.
"Fabulous Cakes" (TLC 8 p.m.) Honestly, cable, I'm a little disappointed. You go back to cake now? Surely, the logical progression after cupcake-baking reality show is cookie-baking reality show. ... God, I give you all these great ideas for free and you don't even act on them? Why do I bother?
"The VH1 Do Something Awards" (VH1 7 p.m.) As far as award show criteria go, "do something" sets the bar pretty low.
"After The Catch: The Good Captain Phil" (Discovery 8 p.m.) As you probably know already, chain-smoking, stressed-out Capt. Phil of "Deadliest Catch" died earlier this year. The crab-fishing reality show on which he appeared finally deals with his passing.
"Confessions: Animal Hoarding" (Animal Planet 7 p.m.) Finally! The Crazy Cat Lady in your town gets her own show!

Q: Do I have to use an enamel covered cast iron pan?
A: NO. You can use anything that can take the heat. The following have been used that I know of:
Clay pots with lids, Pizza stone with a bowl to cover the bread, insert from a crockpot, pyrex baking dish with a lid, stainless steel pot with a lid, baking dish covered with aluminum foil, old cast iron dutch oven.
Q: Do I have to use unbleached flour?
A: I always use unbleached flour. You can try bleached flour.
Q: Can I use self rising flour?
A: I don't know. I would just stick to all-purpose.
Q: What size is my pan?
A: My smallest pan is 5.5 quart. You can use as small as a 3 quart.
Q: What type of yeast do I use?
A: I use SAF instant yeast. Any yeast should work.
Q: Why is my bread turning out flat?
A: I don't know. You could try using less 1/4 cup less liquid. Or add a bit more flour. Make sure you dough appears to be dry when you first mix it. It will have more moisture during the rising time.
Q: Can my dough sit out longer than 18 hours? Does it HAVE to be between 12-18 hours?
A: I have let some dough sit as long as 24 hours and the bread was beautiful.
Q: Have you tried Gluten-free?
A: No. I'm still waiting for someone to venture into the realm of Gluten-free. If you try it, let everyone know.
Q: Do I have to grease or oil the pan? Will my bread stick?
A: No you don't need to grease the pan. I have never had the bread stick when using a cast iron pot. I haven't tried anything else. The best way to be certain that the bread won't stick is to form the loaf on a sheet of parchment paper and lift the bread into the pan using the sides of the parchment. Leave the paper in the pan. It's won't burn. When the bread has baked, just lift the sides of the parchment out of the pan. Voila!
Gluten Free photo sent from Star:
Star's recipe for GF bread: Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I love this bread so much and have made it many times with great success. Today was the first time I tried to make it gluten-free. I thought I'd share my experience for anyone who is wondering. I made absolutely no changes to the recipe. I simply used all purpose gluten-free flour (which already contains the correct amount of xanthan gum; more specifically, I use Jules Gluten Free Flour) in place of regular all purpose gluten-free flour. I made no other changes. No changes to amounts. I probably left it in the oven about 7 or so minutes longer. Very crunchy on the outside. I didn't let it brown much at all because felt it would get too hard — it was already very crunchy. The inside was not as I would have expected. It's almost more raw-like. That's probably not the right word. It was more gooey? — Just not as dry-like/bready….it was just different. But it tasted very good. And tasted like the crusty bread made with regular white flour. Didn't taste any different for being gluten-free. It also smelt just as good. It was smaller. In fact, I really don't think it rose. I wonder if you could just by-pass that step when you use gluten-free flour (I've heard gluten-free breads don't really rise) of having it sit overnight and just pop it in the oven right away. But it was very good and everyone loved it. And it got eaten just as fast as the regular version.

In this article, I will show how to ignore checked exceptions in Java. I will start by describing the rationale behind it and the common pattern to resolve this issue. Then I will present some libraries for that purpose.
In Java, a method can force its caller to deal with the occurrence of potential exceptions. The caller can use the try/catch clause, where the try contains the actual code and catch contains the code to execute when the exception occurs.
Alternatively, the caller can pass on that burden to its parent caller . This can go upwards until the main method is reached. If the main method also passes on the exception, the application will crash when an exception happens.
In the case of an exception, there are many scenarios where the application cannot continue to run and needs to stop. There are no alternative paths. Unfortunately, that means Java forces us to write code for a situation where the application shouldn't run anymore. Quite useless!
An option is to minimise that boilerplate code. We can wrap the exception into a RuntimeException , which is an unchecked exception. This has the effect that, even though the application still crashes, we don't have to provide any handling code.
By no means do we log the exception and let the application continue like nothing has happened. It is possible, but is similar to opening Pandora's Box.
We call these exceptions, for which we have to write extra code, checked exceptions. The others of the RuntimeException type we call unchecked exceptions .
We can find lots of checked exceptions in third-party libraries, and even in the Java Class Library itself. The reason is pretty straightforward. A library vendor cannot predict in which context the developer will use their code.
Logically, they don't know if our application has alternative paths. So they leave the decision to us. Their responsibility is to "label" methods that can potentially throw exceptions. Those labels give us the chance to implement counter-actions.
A good example is the connection to a database. The library vendor marks the connection retrieval method with an exception. If we use the database as a cache, we can send our queries directly to our primary database. This is the alternative path.
If our database is not the cache, there is no way the application can continue to run. And it's OK if the application crashes:
Let's put our theoretical example to real code:
The database is not used as a cache. In the event of a lost connection, we need to stop the application at once.
As described above, we wrap the DbConnectionException into a RuntimeException .
The required code is relatively verbose and always the same. This creates lots of duplication and decreases the readability.
We can write a function to simplify this. It should wrap a RuntimeException over some code and return the value. We cannot simply pass code in Java. The function must be part of a class or interface. Something like this:
The RuntimeException wrapping has been extracted into its own class. In terms of software design, this might be the more elegant solution. Still, given the amount of code, we can hardly say the situation got better.
With Java 8 lambdas, things got easier. If we have an interface with one method only, then we just write the specific code of that method. The compiler does the rest for us. The unnecessary or "syntactic sugar code" to create a specific or anonymous class is not required any more. That's the basic use case for Lambdas.
In Java 8, our example above looks like:
The difference is quite clear: the code is more concise.
is a very generic interface. It is just a function that returns a value. Use cases for that function, or its variations, appear all over. For our convenience, Java's Class Library has a set of such common Interfaces built-in. They are in the package and are better known as the "Functional Interfaces." Our is similar to .
These interfaces form the prerequisite of the powerful Stream, Optional, and other features which are also part of Java 8. In particular, Stream comes with a lot of different methods for processing collections. Many of these methods have a "Functional Interface" as parameter.
Let's quickly switch the use case. We have a list of URL strings that we want to map into a list of objects of type java.net.URL.
The following code does not compile :
There is a big problem when it comes to exceptions. The Interfaces defined in don't throw exceptions. That's why our method createURL doesn't have the same signature as , which is the parameter of the map method.
What we can do is to write the try/catch block inside the lambda:
This compiles, but doesn't look nice either. We can now take a step further and write a wrapper function along a new interface similar to :
And apply it to our Stream example:
Great! Now we have a solution, where we can:
The SneakyThrow library lets you skip copying and pasting the code snippets from above. Full disclosure: I am the author.
SneakyThrow comes with two static methods. One runs code without catching checked exceptions. The other method wraps an exception-throwing lambda into one of the Functional Interfaces:
In contrast to SneakyThrow, ThrowingFunction can't execute code directly. Instead, we have to wrap it into a Supplier and call the Supplier afterwards. This approach can be more verbose than SneakyThrow.
If you have multiple unchecked Functional Interfaces in one class, then you have to write the full class name with each static method. This is because unchecked does not work with method overloading.
On the other hand, ThrowingFunction provides you with more features than SneakyThrow. You can define a specific exception you want to wrap. It is also possible that your function returns an Optional, otherwise known as "lifting."
I designed SneakyThrow as an opinionated wrapper of ThrowingFunction.
Vavr, or "JavaSlang," is another alternative. In contrast to SneakyThrow and ThrowingFunction, it provides a complete battery of useful features that enhance Java's functionality.
For example, it comes with pattern matching, tuples, its own Stream and much more. If you haven't heard of it, it is definitely worth a look. Prepare to invest some time in order to understand its full potential.
Such a list of libraries is not complete without mentioning Lombok. Like Vavr, it offers much more functionality than just wrapping checked exceptions. It is a code generator for boilerplate code and creates full Java Beans, Builder objects, logger instances, and much more.
Lombok achieves its goals by bytecode manipulation. Therefore, we require an additional plugin in our IDE.
@SneakyThrows is Lombok's annotation for manipulating a function with a checked exception into one that doesn't. This approach doesn't depend on the usage of lambdas, so you can use it for all cases. It is the least verbose library.
Please keep in mind that Lombok manipulates the bytecode which can cause problems with other tooling you might use.

Our Health Library information does not replace the advice of a doctor. Please be advised that this information is made available to assist our patients to learn more about their health. Our providers may not see and/or treat all topics found herein.
This topic covers type 1 diabetes in children. For information about type 1 diabetes in adults and about preventing complications from type 1 diabetes, see the topic Type 1 Diabetes .
Type 1 diabetes develops when the pancreas stops making insulin . Your body needs insulin to let sugar (glucose) move from the blood into the body's cells, where it can be used for energy or stored for later use.
Without insulin, the sugar cannot get into the cells to do its work. It stays in the blood instead. This can cause high blood sugar levels. A person has diabetes when the blood sugar is too high.
Your child can live a long, healthy life by learning to manage his or her diabetes. It will become a big part of your and your child's life.
You play a major role in helping your child take charge of his or her diabetes care. Let your child do as much of the care as possible. At the same time, give your child the support and guidance he or she needs.
The key to managing diabetes is to keep blood sugar levels in a target range. To do this, your child needs to take insulin, eat about the same amount of carbohydrate at each meal, and exercise. Part of your child's daily routine also includes checking his or her blood sugar levels at certain times, as advised by your doctor.
The longer a person has diabetes, the more likely he or she is to have problems, such as diseases of the eyes, heart, blood vessels, nerves, and kidneys. For some reason, children seem protected from these problems during childhood. But if your child can control his or her blood sugar levels every day, it may help prevent problems later on.

LSI pimps out 7900 array
Concurrent access, SSD support and more storage added
LSI Engenio has updated its high-end 7900 array to support more SATA drives, concurrent iSCSI and Fibre Channel support, and solid state storage.
There's nothing revolutionary here, just good, solid engineering developments of LSI Engenio's dual-controller, modular array. This is a mid-range array in general terms, and sold to end-users by LSI's OEM partners.
As well as the STEC SSD support which is covered here, the 7900 has a new 4U deep drive enclosure which can hold 60 3.5-inch SATA (Serial ATA) drives. This is much more capacious than the existing 16-drive drawer and LSI says a full Engenio rack can store 480TB of data with eight of these DE6900 enclosures filled to the brim with 1TB drives. Doubling up to 2TB drives, when LSI certifies them, would mean a 960TB rack.
The DE6900 uses Emulex's InSpeed SOC (System-on-a-chip) 422 Embedded Storage Switch and BR-2401 bridge products to provide Fibre Channel to SATA connections inside the enclosure. The SOC 422 is used for front-end Fibre Channel connectivity and the BR-4201 bridge for the back-end SATA to Fibre Channel linking.
The 7900 now supports concurrent iSCSI and Fibre Channel access, using 4 or 8Gbit/s Fibre Channel ports and a dual-ported 1Gbit/s iSCSI card. That means the array can consolidate iSCSI and Fibre Channel SAN storage.
Users are claimed by LSI to get a better insight into array operations with a new version of the Tek-Tools Storage Profiler product that would hopefully enable them, LSI Engenio says, to fix array problems in real-time.
LSI last updated the 7900 in April, giving it a six-monthly upgrade cycle. LSI also introduced a new low-end array, the 4900, in August and will deliver NAS head capability soon as well. From the way LSI is updating and broadening its array hardware and software offerings, it looks as if it wants to convince every mid-range storage array vendor to stop building their own kit and use Engenio gear instead. ®

WASHINGTON — Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was held captive by the Taliban for half a decade after abandoning his Afghanistan post, is expected to plead guilty to desertion and
Bergdahl's decision to plead guilty rather than face trial marks another twist in an eight-year drama that caused the nation to wrestle with difficult questions of loyalty, negotiating with hostage takers and America's commitment not to leave its troops behind. President Donald Trump has called Bergdahl a "no-good traitor" who "should have been executed."
The decision by the 31-year-old Idaho native leaves open whether he will return to captivity for years — this time in a U.S. prison — or receive a lesser sentence that reflects the time the Taliban held him under brutal conditions. He says he had been caged, kept in darkness, beaten and chained to a bed.
Bergdahl could face up to five years on the desertion charge and a life sentence for
Freed three years ago, Bergdahl had been scheduled for trial in late October. He had opted to let a judge rather than a military jury decide his fate, but a guilty plea later this month will spare the need for a trial.
Sentencing will start on Oct. 23, according to the individuals with knowledge of the case. They weren't authorized to discuss the case and demanded anonymity. During sentencing, U.S. troops who were seriously wounded searching for Bergdahl in Afghanistan are expected to testify, the individuals said.
It was unclear whether prosecutors and Bergdahl's
An attorney for Bergdahl, Eugene Fidell, declined to comment on Friday. Maj. Justin Oshana, who is prosecuting the case, referred questions to the U.S. Army, which declined to discuss whether Bergdahl had agreed to plead guilty.
"We continue to maintain careful respect for the military-judicial process, the rights of the accused and ensuring the case's fairness and impartiality during this ongoing legal case," said Paul Boyce, an Army spokesman.
Bergdahl was a 23-year-old private first class in June 2009 when, after five months in Afghanistan, he disappeared from his remote infantry post near the Pakistan border, triggering a massive search operation.
Videos soon emerged showing Bergdahl in captivity by the Taliban, who ruled Afghanistan in the years before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and
In May 2014, he was handed over to U.S. special forces in a swap for five Taliban detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison, fueling an emotional U.S. debate about whether Bergdahl was a hero or a deserter.
As critics questioned whether the trade was worth it, President Barack Obama stood with Bergdahl's parents in the White House Rose Garden and defended the swap. The United States does not "leave our men or women in uniform behind," Obama declared, regardless of how Bergdahl came to be captured. The Taliban detainees were sent to Qatar.
"Whatever those circumstances may turn out to be, we still get an American soldier back if he's held in captivity," Obama said. "Period. Full stop."
Trump, as a presidential candidate, was unforgiving of Bergdahl, who has been assigned to desk duty at a Texas Army base pending the outcome of his case. At campaign events, Trump declared that Bergdahl "would have been shot" in another era, even pantomiming the pulling of the trigger.
"We're tired of Sgt. Bergdahl, who's a traitor, a no-good traitor, who should have been executed," Trump said at a Las Vegas rally in 2015.
Bergdahl's guilty plea will follow several pretrial rulings against him that had complicated his
Some of Bergdahl's fellow soldiers want him held responsible for any harm suffered by those who went looking for him. The judge ruled a Navy SEAL and an Army National Guard sergeant wouldn't have found themselves in separate firefights if they hadn't been searching.
Bergdahl's lawyers also contended that

I love our neighbors to the north, endless outdoor fun, progressive thinking, and an affinity for things of a more "crunchy" nature. But as a 5th-generation Californian, it is ingrained in my head to fear and mistrust the oppressive dictatorship and hate machine the Oregonians run (the California public school system starts this process in the second grade), as they steal children in the middle of the night and brainwash them into Birkenstock-wearing slave labor and questionable physical hygiene boot camps.
So it comes as some surprise that the Oregon State House of Representatives is introducing a bill to allow motorcycle riders, ages 21 and over, the choice of whether they want to ride with helmets or not (an act that misguided tea party wannabes equate with freedom on the open road).

RAIDERS FROM OUTER SPACE---THE KIDNAPPERS and ONE WAY TO THE MOON
ALIENS FROM ANOTHER PLANET--CHASE THROUGH TIME and VISITORS FROM BEYOND THE STARS
OLD LEGENDS NEVER DIE-MERLIN THE MAGICIAN and REVENGE OF ROBIN HOOD
REVENGE OF THE GODS-REVENGE OF THE GODS and THE WALLS OF JERICHO
KILL OR BE KILLED-THE DAY THE SKY FELL IN and KILL TWO BY TWO (not sure of the order here but I think SKY FELL IN was first).
PLEASE NOTE: All the movies contain edited version of the pilot RENDEZVOUS WITH YESTERDAY which also contains a very brief section from THE KIDNAPPERS. The movies were to have 90 minute versions and 120 minute versions (and each 90 minute version may have had a different intro edit--of RENDEZVOUS WITH YESTERDAY--from the 120 minute versions). The copies of ALIENS FROM ANOTHER PLANET, OLD LEGENDS NEVER DIE, REVENGE OF THE GODS, and KILL OR BE KILLED, I have seen, have the following narration and opening:
NARRATOR: The place somewhere in the American desert (a car is taken down into the door in the desert floor). In a complex 800 stories beneath the desert floor the United States government has been spending billions of dollars on a top secret project involving more than 12,000 specialized personnel living in their own self contained city. The mission: as scientific director of the complex Doug Phillips heads a team trying to be the first to send a man into time and return him without harm. (Doug says time as an objective will turn out to be the most valuable to man). The problem: the team has yet to accomplish its objective and the government is threatening to cut off any further funds thus jeopardizing the hopes and dreams of the dedicated thousands who work here. The solution: assistant director, brash, young Doctor Tony Newman proposes a radical acceleration of the program to force the issue and extend the government's commitment. (Kirk says, "You mean today?"). His ideas rejected by his peers, Tony decides to take matters into his own hands and send himself into...the time tunnel. (Doug says "red alert," over and over as we see the men run on bridges over bridges and one bridge over the atomic furnace in an edit of the few times he said it in RENDEZVOUS WITH YESTERDAY. George starts his countdown at 14, not 16 in this edit. Doug snaps orders as Tony is interjected with his voice and the clips of people working in the tunnel complex to track him.) In the hope of saving his friend's life, Doug joins in the greatest adventure in the history of man. (Doug walks into the tunnel and soon he flies in the time vortex--we hear the continuous LOST IN SPACE radiation belt sound which is used as the tunnel image projection scanners in the actual series; soon Doug, minus his cap is flying in time crystals with his friend Tony). But as he joins his friend, something goes wrong. (Ann says something about establishing limits; Kirk says, "Hurry, they're dying!" Why?). Two men tumbling helplessly through time--their lives at the mercy of the events of yesterday and tomorrow. (Ann says, "Wherever he and Doug are---at least they're together). (Next scene is Ray from THE KIDNAPPERS saying, "You realize if we do this we may never regain contact with any of them again."; Kirk orders him to switch them and we hear the time tunnel theme song). Now Doug and Tony must rely on their colleagues and friends to find them and bring them home. (End THE TIME TUNNEL theme song).
Any references to Senator Clark are taken out and he is only seen very briefly in the bridge sequence where he re-meets Woody. He and all Titanic references are taken out, making this opening a bit shaky. In one version of RAIDERS FROM OUTER SPACE-THE TV MOVIE, there is an intro that contains extensive footage of Senator Clark's visit but no Titanic references. All five movies and the two intro versions I have seen use a brief snippet from THE KIDNAPPERS as Kirk and Ray switch the boys to Ann and they talk about never seeing any of them again. All five begin with the 20th Century Fox logo--talk about doing things backwards and all five start with the theme song with new credit titles in the TIME TUNNEL type lettering but the words THE TIME TUNNEL are never seen. We see credits for Darren, Cobert, and Irwin Allen and then the movie begins, similar to the unaired pilot (which also had a very different ending to the opening theme--one which melded right into the plane of Clark's flying). One of the best aspects of the movies is the end theme--it is an extended version of the theme song---with seamless edits and sounds very good.
The other edits are usually seamless--for example in THE DAY THE SKY FELL IN Ann's comment, "...too late, too late," leads into a commercial break bit. In KILL OR BE KILLED, there is a perfect edit of that moving right into Tony and Doug looking at the clock in the warehouse where they are being held by the Japanese spies. While most edits are not jarring---a few are, mostly in the narrated opening. There is another opening used in RAIDERS and possibly in either the shorter or longer versions, not sure which.
RAIDERS FROM OUTER SPACE-THE TV MOVIE copy I have seen has no narration and a much more convincing edit of RENDEZVOUS WITH YESTERDAY with Senator Clark material in it. A much better intro, also minus any Titanic references. It goes like this: no narration but the plane lands, Doug meets and takes Senator Clark in a car down to the installation, they ride on the elevator, go out to the bridge, meet Kirk and Tony and discuss the money and financing--all from the pilot. We see Tony go into the tunnel and fly through the time crystals kaleidoscope. Doug walks into the tunnel, flies in time with his cap on, and the two fly in time together, this time Doug has no cap. Ann gasps, "Doug! Tony!" She also talks about establishing limits. Kirk snaps, "Hurry, they're dying!" Senator Clark says, "The tunnel's gone blank." Ann says, "Wherever he and Doug are at least they're together." Clark asks, "Where?" Ray answers and so on...until Clark leaves the complex with his suitcase. (No Titanic encounter is mentioned). We then move into whatever episode it being edited with Tony and Doug flying in time or as in the case of THE KIDNAPPERS and CHASE THROUGH TIME...we see the complex as they talk and watch Tony and Doug fly through time on the viewer screen.
A few more notes: in ALIENS FROM ANOTHER PLANET the time travellers are flying through time just as the narration ends, then in a seamless edit, we see Dr. Styles (CHASE THROUGH TIME part) watching them fly through time--it is quite wonderful to see such a movement of the frame in this way. The parts from VISITORS FROM BEYOND THE STARS include the entire sequence from the teaser and the first act, not the edited cliffhanger from the previous episode. In OLD LEGENDS NEVER DIE, a similar set up occurs...in the REVENGE OF ROBIN HOOD section, they use the footage from the teaser and the first act rather than the edited version from the cliffhanger to REVENGE OF ROBIN HOOD.
END RESULT: In all THE TIME TUNNEL movies brought THE TIME TUNNEL back to people who hasn't seen the series when it was first on or hadn't seen the reruns in many years. In the mid to late 80s, this was a treat but the episodes could have included better installments. Some were fine: RENDEZVOUS WITH YESTERDAY perfectly set up the series elements, ONE WAY TO THE MOON was a tight suspenser, THE DAY THE SKY FELL IN can't be topped, CHASE THROUGH TIME is entertaining and spans three time zones, KILL TWO BY TWO is an acting tour de force for Mako, and Ann gets something to do in THE KIDNAPPERS. JERICHO, MERLIN, and REVENGE OF THE GODS are fair episodes, entertaining enough. But I guess I would have included MASSACRE, THE GHOST OF NERO, REIGN OF TERROR, IDOL OF DEATH, PIRATES OF DEADMAN'S ISLAND, DEVIL'S ISLAND, END OF THE WORLD, and THE DEATH MERCHANT. Possibly others. I do not think VISITORS FROM BEYOND THE STARS, REVENGE OF ROBIN HOOD, and the bad execution of THE KIDNAPPERS present the series in a good light. Things could have been worse, however. THE NIGHT STALKER also called KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER did not fare as well. Four episodes of the series (which followed two successful and original pilot TV movies) were intercut. Two episodes each made up the two new syndicated movies. The 2 hour CRACKLE OF DEATH was FIREFALL and THE ENERGY EATER. The 2 hour THE DEMON AND THE MUMMY was DEMON IN LACE and LEGACY OF TERROR. While Darren McGavin apparently did voice overs while someone's hand was shown writing down notes---new footage in the early to mid 80s---it was nice to have some new footage--these movies were terrible. The main reason was that these were two episodes weaved in and out of each other, intercut--act one of the first was interspersed with act one of the second and on and on it went until both episodes would finish out their respective movie. This is jarring and confusing--only a real fan of the show would know what was going on. It is also not a good representation of the series THE NIGHT STALKER--at least the TIME TUNNEL TV MOVIES were as each episode was pretty much left alone and not interspersed with new footage, voice overs, or any other episode (with the one exception being that brief bit between Ray and Kirk from THE KIDNAPPERS talking about never regaining contact with any of them again.)

Samsung isn't wasting any time in working to deliver Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to its latest flagship devices. Android 4.1 has been "confirmed" by SamMobile to be in testing for both the Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note, and the Galaxy S III has not only been caught on film running Jelly Bean, but files are available to give it a go for yourself.
Thanks to a combination of SamMobile and Samsung-Updates.com, Android 4.1.1 and an incremental update for the Galaxy S III are both available now for your flashing pleasure.
Yesterday, SamMobile leaked a test build of Android 4.1.1 for the SGS3 that featured everything you'd expect to see in a Samsung manufactured Jelly Bean update. The new updated includes expanded notifications, quick settings toggles, new live wallpapers and Google Now is fully functional.
Today, an incremental OTA update has also been released. The OTA is meant to be flashed over the original update to Jelly Bean. According to those who have tested this latest build, there's nothing different between the two builds. Both are based on Android 4.1.1.
As for the Galaxy S II and Note, neither device have been spotted running Android 4.1, but their updates shouldn't be far behind the SIII.
To get a look at Jelly Bean for the Samsung Galaxy S III, check out the video below. You can probably expect most of the same changes to hit the SII and Note as well.
