In Benaroya Hall on Tuesday night, the Eroica Trio performed. Joy, precision from Eroica, Prague orchestra wrote the Seattle Times reviewer: "These women grew up together, and they are a good argument for all chamber music ensembles to be raised together. It is rare to see and hear musical intuition so tight." And in Benaroya [...]

neighborhood knitting circle
October 24th, 2003 · Comments Off
Tonight I got out for about an hour to a new neighborhood knitting group. For a while I'd been hearing rumors about who knits in our neighborhood, and I'm glad Amy took the lead to gather everyone together. I learned to knit in first grade, and I remember making a few long and lumpy scarves [...]

Being rather healthy, I was slow to catch Facebook Fatigue. About 1 year short based on the dates of the articles in the mainstream media.
I deactivated my Facebook account today. It didn't feel as liberating as I imagined it would. When you deactivate Facebook (under Settings if you are interested), the program attempts to change your mind (if a program can actually do that) by pleading that your various friends will miss you – complete with their profile pictures and a little message. That's enough to make you want to quit.
Before you deactivate, you have to choose a reason. Each reason you select pops a helpful message with a link to learn more about how to optimize Facebook to overcome that problem. Even when you are finally deactivated, you receive an email advising you that you can re-join at any time by entering your email address and password. It's like Hotel California – you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave.
The real reason for my deactivating my account wasn't on the list to choose from – and I'm not sure it's a real reason. Every time I try to articulate a reason it just sounds like I'm being grumpy or depressed – or both. I don't have a lot of Facebook friends – but that's OK. I've ignored a lot of friend requests because it doesn't make sense to have all these friends in the same room. I wouldn't invite them all to a party – so why do they all keep popping up on my Facebook page. It's just so incongruous, all those different folks together in the same room. Some are posting about serious stuff, others are late for meetings, and still others stuck in airports. Most want to tell me that they just took some test and – "Guess what famous 1970s pop star I am?" It's all too much!
I understand I could probably adjust my settings to filter some of the unwanted messages – but I didn't have the energy to figure it out. In the end, I feel bad – like some sort of washed up old Luddite. Just give me a good old blog any day.
On the other hand – I am on Twitter –There's a sucker born every minute. Follow me, @hobbledrunner.

I think it's kind of funny that you left FB, but you're Twittering...for me, it seems the opposite. I enjoy the chatter from various friends from various parts of my life. Twitter is still a mysterious entity to me, potentially intrusive...

So far Twitter is "interesting". I like the 140 character limit. It just makes sense, Twitter = Short, Blogging = Long - I could never quite figure out where Facebook fit in - but that's just me.

Roane County Executive Mike Farmer said he shares the pain many property owners are feeling.
The reappraisal upped the value on his home from $336,500 to $482,500.
"There's a lot of things that make it very difficult for county officials as well as property owners in Roane County to understand the information about the reappraisal," Farmer said.
Reappraisal notices were mailed out earlier this month.

Another question about Ultra-Wide Adaptec support: Can someone explain why it is running at 10.0Mhz instead of 20Mhz? I have that problem too, whereas the PC of a colleague of mine is running at 20.0Mhz (40 Mbytes/s). We checked the setup without luck and have not been able to locate any differences other than the firmware versions of the Adaptec and the disk. --Steen

Will President Obama really down a cold one with Fox's Sean Hannity?
Analysts of presidential politics have long argued that Americans will often vote for the candidate whom they'd rather have a beer with.
Leading up to the last election, young people overwhelmingly said they'd rather hang out with President Obama for a drink than Sen. John McCain. And in a 2004 nationwide poll, 57% of undecided voters picked President Bush over Sen. John Kerry -- even though Bush isn't a drinker anymore.
But what if the president doesn't want to have a beer with you? Or, more specifically, what if he doesn't want to have a beer with Sean Hannity?
During Obama's Indiana town hall meeting on Monday, a woman suggested he sit down for a drink with the Fox News anchor.
"I didn't know that he had invited me for a beer," Obama replied. "Generally, his opinion of me does not seem to be very high."
"But I'm always good for a beer."
We'll see about that. Hannity, a noted conservative strongly critical of Obama, invited the president on his show Wednesday to join him for a beer (video below). No word yet from the president whether he'll actually take Hannity up on the offer.
But the news media is taking the opportunity to highlight its fascination with a beer-swigging president.
The Chicago Tribune has an interesting piece on the culture of presidential boozin'. "It's hard to pinpoint exactly when Americans hoisted their presidents off a pedestal," the Trib writes, "and plunked them down on a bar stool."
On a similar note, the Feds recently shut down the Sixpoint Brewery's Hop Obama beer as part of an effort to curb products attempting to profit from the president's likeness.
Hannity probably won't be throwing back Hop Obamas or other microbrews if the president takes him up on the offer. "What is Barack Obama's favorite brand of beer? I'm sure it's domestic."
If it happens, let's hope the experience isn't as awkward as the Onion's fictional bar meet-up between Bush and a voter.

Chapter 25 : Permanent Ink
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 5
Background: Font color:
"Shay, you are pregnant," Dumbledore said.
Shay started to laugh.
"Oh, wow. Professor, you are funny. If this headmaster thing doesn't work out you should try for a comedian. You almost gave me a heart attack. Now really, what's wrong?"
"Shay I am not joking. You are almost a month a long."
Shay and Sirius started having sex about a month ago, so it added up.
"Ok, I think I'm having that heart attack now," Shay said.
"I know this is big news, that's why I wanted to tell you myself."
"Is it ok? I hit that wall really hard."
"Surprisingly, the baby is perfectly healthy. I'm going to have Madame Pomfrey give you another sleeping potion. You need to recover. You have two people to take care of now," Dumbledore said.
"Alright. Professor, are you mad at Sirius and I?" Shay asked.
"No Miss Calhoun I am not. But we will need to talk about you and Mr. Black's futures. We especially need to talk about the Order."
Shay nodded her head and waited for her sleeping potion.
When Shay woke up again, it was dark outside. The only light in the infirmary was coming from a couple candles. She was wondering how long she was out, when she saw a shadow moving around. She squinted to see who it was.
"Who's in here?" she asked.
The shadow walked over to her bed.
"Shhh. It's just me."
"Sirius, what are you doing?" Shay asked him.
"I got bored so I decided to draw on their faces" Sirius said and sat on her bed.
Shay looked over at James. Sirius had given him a unabrow and a case of the spots. Shay then looked over at Remus who was on her left. He seemed to miraculously grow a handle bar moustache and a smiley face on his forehead.
"Sirius, they are all going to kill you," Shay said while trying not to laugh too hard.
"The best part is that ink won't come off for at least a week," Sirius said and Shay snorted.
"If I have one spot of ink on me, I'm never talking to you again."
"Don't worry. You woke up before I could get to you," Sirius said with a smile.
Shay looked into Sirius's eyes and wondered how she was going to tell him.
"I, um…I'm…I'm uh…I'm glad you're ok," Shay said.
"Stupid mouth. Why won't it let the words come out?" Shay thought to herself.
"Yea, it was intense. How is your back?" Sirius asked.
"I still can't move too much. I'm going to have to stay in here for a couple days," Shay said.
It was true that her back hurt but it should be healed by tomorrow. Professor Dumbledore and Madame Pomfrey wanted to keep Shay in there for a couple days so they could keep an eye on the baby and make sure it was ok.
"I'll let you go back to sleep then. And Shay"
"If anyone asks, I was sound asleep all night."
"I got your back babe," Shay said and Sirius gave her a kiss goodnight.
"Sirius get this off now!" Shay heard Lily yell.
She started laughing before she even opened her eyes.
"I don't know how to get it off because I didn't do it," Sirius said.
Shay opened her eyes and saw Lily standing there. Her nose was completely black and it looked like she was punched in both eyes. Shay busted out laughing and Lily turned and gave her an evil look.
"You did this, didn't you?"
"Yea, Lily. I magically stretched my arm to reach all of you. I can't even sit up. How could I draw on your face?" Shay asked still laughing.
"This isn't funny. I'm Head Girl. How is anyone going to take me seriously?" Lily asked.
"Aw, come on Lil, I kind of like it. I've always wanted to grow a beard," Niki said.
She had a beard that covered the bottom half of her face.
"Damn Niki, you look hot," Shay said.
"Yea, I always wanted to date a bearded lady," Remus said sarcastically.
"How come you and Sirius don't have anything on your face?" Peter asked with his muttonchops and Hitler moustache.
"A lot of people love our faces. Who would want to make a mess of them?" Shay said jokingly.
"Yea, our faces are untouchable. It just deflects the ink right off," Sirius said.
"You guys are idiots. I'll just use a make up charm," Lily said.
"It won't work. I made sure," Sirius let it slip out.
"I knew it was you!" Lily said and stomped her foot.
"I see you all are feeling better. By the way, the make up is brilliant," Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Thanks Professor. As you can see I'm a master at my art," Sirius said, stretched out on his bed.
"Now that you're all awake I can tell you how proud I am of you all. You went beyond my expectations. You all did not have to step in, but you did and you saved lives."
"We're just getting some practice in, Professor," James said.
"And now it is time for you to get more practice in. All of you except Miss Calhoun have to go to class."
Everyone except Lily and Remus had disappointed looks on their faces, hoping Dumbledore would have forgot about classes. They all slowly filed out until it was only Shay, Dumbledore, and a couple other students on the other side of the room.
"When are you planning on telling him?" Dumbledore questioned.
"How do you know if I told him or not?" Shay asked.
"By the way you look at him. Are you nervous or scared?"
"A little of both. More or so petrified and I don't know why. I tried to tell him last night and I couldn't get the words out. I know Sirius well enough to know that he'll support me. I just haven't processed this whole having a baby thing yet" Shay said.
"Very well. One more thing Miss Calhoun. I suppose that your answer is no," Dumbledore said.
He was talking about the Order.
"Not that I'm aware of. My answer hasn't wavered yet," Shay said.
"I hope you remember the danger that may occur if you say yes," Dumbledore said.
"And I hope you know the danger that may occur if I say no. I've crossed a lot of people and I'd rather have something happen knowing that I'm doing anything possible to stop these people. It's if I don't do anything about it, that will get to me."
Two days had passed and Shay and the baby were in perfect health. The day before it had hit her that she was pregnant. It's all she thought about. She was very conscious of her stomach now and always had a hand or a book over it even though there wasn't any signs of showing. She tried to act as normal as possible, not wanted to bring to much attention to herself.
"Hey Shay, are you ready?" James asked.
"Ready for what?" she asked and looked up from her homework.
"Quidditch practice."
Shay had totally forgotten about quidditch. She couldn't play when she was pregnant. But how was she going to tell James that? She had to tell him though so he could find a new beater.
"Uh, James, can you sit down? I need to talk to you," Shay said.
James sat down and waited for her to talk.
"I can't play quidditch anymore," Shay said quickly.
"Are you kidding me?" James asked.
"No. I'm sorry James. I really am," Shay said.
"I don't understand. You love quidditch. Why can't you play?"
"James I can't tell you why."
"You know what Shay, I think I deserve to know why. This could ruin our quidditch season," James said getting angry.
"James, I can't play because I'm pregnant."
"YOU'RE PREGNANT?!" James exclaimed.
Shay jumped and put her hands over his mouth.
"SHHH! I'm sure every Gryffindor knows now," Shay said.
"Sorry. You're not kidding are you? Does Sirius know yet?"
"I'm being dead serious, and no, Sirius doesn't know yet. I've been trying to tell him, it's just really hard."
"You realize you have to tell him soon," James said.
"I know, I feel terrible keeping this from him, it's just…"
Shay paused because she felt tears coming on.
"Just what? You can tell me."
Warm tears streaked down her face when she started talking.
"I'm so afraid James."
"Afraid to tell Sirius? Because I know he'll stand by your side. He loves you."
"No, I know he will. I'm afraid the world I'm going to be bringing this child into."
"I'm not understanding what you mean" James said.
"This world! It's dangerous. There's been more Death Eater attacks. Three kids just died at Hogsmeade. If you can't be safe under Dumbledore's watch, you can't be safe any where. I don't know if I want my child to grow up in this kind of world."
"A parent's job is to protect their children. I know for a fact that you and Sirius will do everything in your power to protect that child and that's all that matters."
"I told Dumbledore that I'm still going to join the Order. I can't back away from it, no matter what's going on."
James was silent for a while.
"Merlin Shay. You're going to make this tough."
"What do you mean?"
"I know that nothing will stop you from joining. I love Lily, I want to live the rest of my life with her and have kids with her, and I'm not going to put my family on hold because of Voldemort. But Sirius is the most protective person I know. He's already made a couple comments about you joining and he doesn't like the idea. He'll throw a fit when he finds out that you're pregnant with his child and are still going to join."
"I'm going to have to tell him tonight, aren't I?" Shay asked.
"Probably. He's going to be wondering why you quit."
"Are you mad that you have to find another beater?"
"Well it's the last thing I wanted to do but there's no way I can be mad at you. At least you have a good reason. But you better be at every game cheering us on and you have to promise me that your kid will be one hell of a quidditch player."
"I promise. You better go. You're about ten minutes late. And James, only you, Professor Dumbledore, and Madame Pomfrey know, so don't tell anybody."
"I shall lock it up and swallow the key," James said.
"How can you swallow the key when your lips are sealed?" Shay asked.
"I don't know. I'll think about it and get back to you."
'9 'o clock. Damn, I should get back to the common room' Shay thought to herself.
She had gone to the Room of Requirement because she was getting the third degree about not being at quidditch practice from Lily, Niki, Remus, and Peter. So for four hours she went over how she was going to tell Sirius about the baby.
"This place is so creepy some times," Shay said as she walked down the corridor.
She didn't like walking in the corridors by herself at night unless she had James's invisibility cloak, which was rare, he didn't even trust Sirius or Lily with it. The one thing she liked was seeing who met up with who in the corridors after hours. She always found the oddest couples that no one ever believed. Shay came to a couple that went from PG-13, right past R, and were heading straight for XXX.
"Get a room," Shay said as she walked by the couple.
"Mind your own business and fuck off," Regulus said and then turned back to the girl.
"I do believe that she isn't the girl formally known as my sister."
The girl was one of Courtlyn's friends.
"Don't you ever shut up?" Regulus asked sharply.
"Actually, go ahead and continue. She deserves to get cheated on and you deserve to get an STD," Shay said and walked away.
"Welcome back," Sirius said as she entered the common room.
"Hey there, guess what I just saw."
"Your brother is cheating on my former sister with one of her best friends, who, I know for a fact, has had sex with Lucius Malfoy, Evan Rosier, and Severus Snape. Yes, Severus has had sex," Shay said and laughed because she knew this would disturb Sirius.
"Come on Shay! I don't want to hear about that! It's burning my mind knowing someone actually had sex with Snivelly. UGH! Bad images!"
"Sorry but if I have to know that information, then you have to know that information," Shay said and sat next to him on the couch.
"Can I ask you a question?" Sirius asked.
"Yea, shoot."
"Why did you quit quidditch?"

This should be an end thread with Artis getting on, and he should have already been on the list before.
Come on man, win shares?
I think Artist is underrated but got damn. Tryin to get him in by saying he has better win shares than Moses, Shaq, Dream and Russell when he didn't win any where close to these guys. Even Ewing who you mention he has more then, he didn't win as much as Patrick.
He should be one of the next centers to be voted in along with Bob Lanier and maybe Zo Mourning.

The World is Phlat
With apologies to Thomas Friedman, I can't help but marvel at how connected the world is by technology. As I ponder KM and its applications to the practice of law, I keep stumbling upon incredible people with intriguing ideas. One example is the Green Chameleon blog on KM. I'm not sure how I first found this blog (information overload), but have truly enjoyed a number of posts there. I think law firms need to spend more time exploring ideas outside the legal market, and this blog gives great KM ideas well outside what law firms are doing or even thinking about. So in addition to being our first blog review, the Green Chameleon demonstrates how the world is only a few key strokes away. A Brit living in Singapore presents ideas a recovering Utardian with Texan Citizenship applies to a global law firm who then shares them here. Which leads to ...? I should already appreciate this connectedness. But one of the wonders of life for me is the great surprise of learning what I already know. I know ... sounds like another definition for KM. Whatever ... In any event, I suggest you check out the blog.

Patrick, Thanks for stopping by. Having moved away from Utah last year, I am in the process of experiencing "culture" now. So I'm recovering from a mono-culture life of bad food and green punch smiles.
Thanks again

According to reports, the Indian state of Rajasthan has commissioned 510 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity, according to the latest report by Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Ltd. (Jaipur, India).
Rajasthan added the majority of this capacity at 314 MW in the 2012-2013 fiscal year, starting with only 5 MW installed in 2010-2011. The majority of the new capacity was added through the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM).
"Rajasthan has been the go-to destination for developers interested in setting up solar PV projects under the first phase of the JNNSM accounting for about 70% of the total capacity installed in the state," notes RESolve Energy Consultants.
RESolve Energy Consultants states that this capacity has come in three distinct phases. The first was driven by projects added under the migration and RPSSGP program.
The second phase came in late 2011 to early 2013 under the JNNSM, and new capacity in 2013 onward has primarily come through the REC/Open Access mechanism. RESolve states that there is a growing interest in commissioning projects through the REC mechanism, as developers gain confidence.
The majority of PV capacity installed in the state to date has been in the Jodhpur district, with 293 MW installed. This is followed by Jaisalmer with 94 MW installed and Bikaner at 65.9 MW.
Rajasthan is the second state to reach 500 MW of installed PV capacity, following Gujarat, which had installed 824 MW by the end of 2012. Together, these two states represent the vast majority of PV installed in India.

Bus cuts in the west country
Drastic changes are being made to bus services in the region after a cut in the subsidy from the Government.
Drastic changes are being made to bus services in the region after a cut in the subsidy from the Government.
ITV News West Country has been able to get a copy of the notice to staff at Western Greyhound, which is making drastic cuts - including closing its depot in Penzance. 12 people could lose their jobs.
Most of you will have read in the press that Cornwall Council's budget is under significant pressure. We have been notified that due to budget cuts, the council will be withdrawing financial suppport for a number of services, some of which are operated by Western Greyhound.
It is with regret that I therefore advise you that Western Greyhound will no longer be operating any services in the Penzance and Hayle areas (other than the summer 547), or the 530 and 56 routes, or some lightly loaded 'tendered' journeys on some other routes.
This will therefore mean a reduction in the number of buses in the fleet and a reduction in the number of roles. This decision by Cornwall Council in no way reflects the quality of services provided.
Western Greyhound is not the only bus operator having contracts reduced and services of other operators are also affected.
A formal consultation period will begin shortly for all staff affected and we are currently working on the implications of this decision from the council to withdraw financial support for services. This will be a worrying time for you but please be assured that as a company we will do everything we can to limit the impact of such a decision on employees.
We have a strong core of commercial services and we will be actively developing these routes over the coming months.
As further information becomes available, I assure you I will be in touch to keep you updated on developments

Montclair, NJ -- The George Segal Gallery at Montclair State University will present 153 original photographs taken by Andy Warhol in "Andy Warhol: Through a Glass Starkly," an exhibition that will run September 8 through December 12.
The photographs-103 Polaroids and 50 black-and-white gelatin silver prints - were donated to the George Segal Gallery by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts through the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program. The Segal Gallery is one of 183 galleries nationwide, and one of just three in New Jersey, selected as a beneficiary. In total, the gifted works include 28,543 original Warhol photographs valued at more than $28 million. This unprecedented program honors the 20th anniversary of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
Among the subjects in the 153 photos received by the George Segal Gallery are celebrity images including Debbie Harry, Jamie Wyeth, Willie Shoemaker, John Travolta, Liza Minnelli, Bianca Jagger, Barry Diller, and Catherine Oxenberg. William V. Ganis, a leading scholar of Warhol photographs and author of Andy Warhol's Serial Photography, will curate the exhibition.
"Though Warhol is known as a painter and printmaker, nearly all of his efforts have a photographic base," says Ganis. "This exhibition shows Warhol's 'Photographic thinking' whether through the diaristic snapshots he made every day for a decade, or the Polaroids of celebrities used to make their silk-screened portraits. The works at the Segal Gallery, most of which will be shown publicly for the first time, offer a fascinating cross-section of Warhol's abiding photographic endeavors."
In addition to the Warhol photographs, which will become part of the Segal Gallery's permanent collection, the exhibit will include five paintings that relate to the photographs, on loan from the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and three photographs of Andy Warhol, including Anton Perich's well-known image of Warhol carrying a camera. These photographs will be on loan from the DeNovo Gallery in Idaho.
On Thursday, October 8, from 2:30 - 5 p.m. Curator William Ganis will moderate a symposium entitled "Andy Warhol Photographs." The panel of experts will include Neil Baldwin, author and Distinguished Visiting Professor in Montclair State's College of the Arts, Catherine Zuromskis of the University of New Mexico, and John Tagg of Binghamton University. Registration for the event is $25; $20 for senior citizens; free to students with I.D.
The Andy Warhol Foundation's Photographic Legacy Program was established to provide greater access to Warhol's artwork and process, and to enable a wide range of people from communities across the country to view and study this important yet relatively unknown body of Warhol's work.
"Andy Warhol defined a generation and changed our world," said Teresa Rodriguez, director of the George Segal Gallery. "While he is known for pop art, these rarely-seen photos provide an insight to his process."
The 7,200 square foot George Segal Gallery was completed in 2006 and houses the permanent collection of works by well-known artist George Segal and other 20th and 21st century artists. The gallery has been the recipient of the prestigious Citation of Excellence from the NJ State Arts Council for three consecutive years.

Jameis Winston's Dominance of Inferior Opponents Shows Culture Change for FSUOctober 26, 2013
Remember last year's 17-16 loss to North Carolina State? The 2011 35-30 loss to Wake Forest? Or how about the back-to-back losses to North Carolina State and North Carolina in 2010, both of which happened to be unranked opponents at the time?
Head coach Jimbo Fisher sure does, per Kareem Copeland of the AP:
"Feel that pain," Fisher said. "Pain is preparation. You want that pain again? Don't prepare. You want to eliminate that pain? Prepare and take care of your business."
Needless to say, Florida State has built a reputation of losing a game it shouldn't. Even Bobby Bowden's 2003 team that won 10 games and reached the Orange Bowl ended up losing to a struggling Clemson team that wasn't ranked until the end of the year.
It has made many critics hesitant on buying into Florida State over the years.
We can't trust the Seminoles just yet, they still have to play Syracuse and Idaho! You never know what may happen when the mighty Vandals come to town.
However, those days appear to be over thanks to quarterback Jameis Winston leading the way. The redshirt freshman has proven that he is one of those few quarterbacks who comes along every 10 years or so and takes over college football. Think Cam Newton, Tim Tebow or Matt Leinart.
In Saturday's 49-17 win over North Carolina State, Winston completed 65.4 percent of his passes for 312 yards and three touchdowns. The game was 42-0 at halftime and forced the coaching staff to put in backup Jacob Coker to earn some valuable experience. After all, he's not going to see the field very often as long as Winston is on the team.
The kid is absolutely unbelievable and the difference maker that Florida State has needed all of these years to get over the hump. Every year, the Seminoles were supposed to rise to the top of the totem pole, but they always let everybody down by running into that one hiccup. A lot of it had to do with inconsistent quarterback play.
You just don't get that with Winston.
Arm strength? Check.
Florida State hasn't even come close to losing a game this season, as all seven wins have been decided by at least two touchdowns. North Carolina State has seemed to have Florida State's number over the years, winning two of the last three meetings, and was supposed to provide a challenge this time around with a respectable defense. But Winston doesn't give an underdog a chance to bite, let alone breathe.
No more doubting the Seminoles. It's safe to say they can beat anybody in the country and will no longer lose to the team nobody is watching.
Winston is the difference.

This tumor of the thyroid was first described in 1987 as a hyalinizing trabecular adenoma. For many years, it was thought this was a distinct tumor of the thyroid gland. However, it has been noted that these tumors share both epidemiologic and morphologic similarity to papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. In addition, although the original descriptions were of a benign neoplasm, clearly malignant tumors have been described leading to the designation of hyalinizing trabecular tumors for this group of neoplasms.

Endocr Pathol 2002 Spring;13(1):3-16 Abstract quote
Rearrangement of the RET gene, also known as RET/PTC rearrangement, is the most common genetic alteration identified to date in thyroid papillary carcinomas.
The prevalence of RET/PTC in papillary carcinomas shows significant geographic variation and is approx 35% in North America. RET/PTC is more common in tumors in children and young adults, and in papillary carcinomas associated with radiation exposure. There are at least 10 different types of RET/PTC, all resulting from the fusion of the tyrosine kinase domain of RET to the 5' portion of different genes. RET/PTC1 and RET/PTC3 are the most common types, accounting for >90% of all rearrangements. There is some evidence that different types of RET/PTC may be associated with distinct biologic properties of papillary carcinomas. RET/PTC1 tends to be more common in tumors with typical papillary growth and microcarcinomas and to have a more benign clinical course, whereas RET/PTC3 in some populations shows a strong correlation with the solid variant of papillary carcinoma and more aggressive tumor behavior.
RET/PTC has recently been found in hyalinizing trabecular adenomas of the thyroid gland, providing molecular evidence in favor of this tumor to be a variant of papillary carcinoma. The occurrence of RET/PTC in Hashimoto thyroiditis and thyroid follicular adenomas and hyperplastic nodules reported in several studies has not been confirmed in other observations and remains controversial.
Hyalinizing trabecular tumors of the thyroid: a variant of papillary carcinoma?
Lloyd RV.

Adv Anat Pathol 2002 Jan;9(1):7-11 Abstract quote
Ret proto-oncogene rearrangements are common in papillary thyroid carcinoma. The relationship of hyalinizing trabecular tumors (HTT) to papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) was analyzed in a recent report in which the presence of RET rearrangements was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry in several HTT.
This commentary examines this report and related studies in the literature emphasizing the limitations of these approaches and the practical implications of these findings.
- Hyalinizing trabecular adenoma of the thyroid revisited: a histologic and immunohistochemical study of thyroid lesions with prominent trabecular architecture and sclerosis.
Robert E. Fechner Laboratory of Surgical Pathology, University of Virginia, VA.
- Am J Surg Pathol. 2006 Oct;30(10):1269-73 Abstract quote
BACKGROUND: Since its description, hyalinizing trabecular adenoma (HTA) of the thyroid has been a controversial entity. Some have considered it a unique entity, some have considered it a variant of papillary carcinoma (PC), and still others have considered it a nonspecific pattern that may be seen with a variety of thyroid lesions. Complicating the matter, studies demonstrating metastases have shown entities that do not appear to be HTAs as originally described, and molecular studies showing changes of PC have used methods that are not specific. This study reviews our experience with thyroid lesions that showed at least some histologic features of HTA and presents the immunohistochemical findings for these lesions using antibodies employed for the diagnosis of PC.
DESIGN: Our files were reviewed for all thyroid resection reports describing lesions with hyalinized or sclerotic stroma and a trabecular architecture within the diagnosis or diagnostic comment. All cases were reviewed and classified as either HTA or as different lesions based upon histologic features. Immunohistochemistry with antibodies to HBME1, CK19 and p63 was performed with all lesions and with a series of controls.
RESULTS: Eighteen thyroid lesions with prominent sclerosis or hyalinization and trabecular architecture were identified. Only 4 of these were found to completely match the histologic and cytologic descriptions of HTA by HE review. The other cases showed histologic features more compatible with other diagnoses including cellular adenomatoid nodule (5), follicular adenoma (4), follicular variant of PC (FVPC) (3), and epithelial neoplasm with features of FVPC (2). All HTAs lacked immunoreactivity for HBME1, CK19 and p63. All cases deemed to be adenomatoid nodules, follicular adenomas and epithelial neoplasms showed no immunoreactivity for HBME1 and CK19 and, of these, only a single AN showed immunoreactivity for p63. Cases deemed to be FVPCs showed diffuse immunoreactivity for HBME1 and CK19 and 1 reacted with antibodies to p63. Of control PCs and other thyroid lesions, reactivity for HBME1, CK19, and p63 was observed in 8/8, 7/7, and 7/8 and 3/27, 7/27, and 7/27 cases, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: A sclerotic or hyalinized stroma with a trabecular growth pattern may be seen in a number of different thyroid lesions and, when seen, is usually a focal feature of a lesion other than HTA. Immunohistochemistry may be of assistance as cases of FVPC with prominent hyalinization and trabeculation will show immunoreactivity for HBME1 and CK19, whereas HTAs and other thyroid lesions with hyalinization and trabeculation will not.
Hyalinizing trabecular adenoma of the thyroid gland: cytologic features in 29 cases.
Casey MB, Sebo TJ, Carney JA.
Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. Dr. Carney is an Emeritus member.
Am J Surg Pathol. 2004 Jul;28(7):859-67. Abstract quote
Cytologic material (fine-needle aspiration biopsy smears, thin-layer preparations, cell block sections, and touch preparations) from 29 cases of hyalinizing trabecular adenoma was studied to 1) establish the cytologic profile of the neoplasm and 2) compare the profile with those of papillary and medullary carcinoma.
Papanicolaou- and Diff-Quik-stained smears of the hyalinizing trabecular adenomas were uniformly bloody. The smears featured cells in cohesive aggregates radially oriented around hyaline material, less frequently, singly. Cytoplasm was abundant, and the nucleocytoplasmic ratio was low. Intranuclear cytoplasmic inclusions, nuclear grooves, and nuclear overlapping were very common and best seen with the Papanicolaou method. Diff-Quik-stained smears highlighted the hyaline material (metachromatic), perinucleolar clearing, and cytoplasmic bodies.
The combination of a bloody background, radially oriented cohesive cells, cells with abundant cytoplasm, nuclei with very frequent cytoplasmic inclusions and grooves, and the presence of hyalin should suggest the presence of hyalinizing trabecular adenoma.

Hyalinizing trabecular adenoma (HTA) is a specific variant of thyroid adenoma with a particular histological pattern. Immunohistochemistry is the best way of differentiating these adenomas.
Of special interest is a strong positive cytoplasmic reaction for MIB-1. In FNAB and intra-operative examination HTA is usually misdiagnosed as a papillary carcinoma. Histological examination of paraffin-embedded material and immunohistochemical stainings provide a correct diagnosis.
Accumulated basement membrane material in hyalinizing trabecular tumors of the thyroid.

Department of Pathology, Yamanashi Medical University, Tamaho, Japan.
Mod Pathol 1999 Nov;12(11):1057-61 Abstract quote
We report here four additional cases of hyalinizing trabecular adenoma of the thyroid and describe the findings of the accumulated basement membrane (BM) material. Focal lumpy depositions of BM material were noted in the stroma of all four tumors and were particularly prominent in two.
Antibodies against type IV collagen and laminin strongly immunoreacted with this material, which also showed diastase-resistant periodic acid-Schiff positivity. The ultrastructural findings of accumulated basement membrane was examined in detail. The most striking ultrastructural findings were seen at the periphery of the cell clusters, where the basal aspect of the tumor cells rested on a highly accumulated BM materials displaying mesh-like, fir-branching, or frame-like appearances. Intracytoplasmic BM islands were frequently observed in neoplastic cells. These BM islands were membrane-bounded and focally continuous with the cell surface membrane, suggesting pseudointracytoplasmic depositions of BM material due to marked cytoplasmic infoldings.
From the findings, electron microscopic features of accumulated BM material are very characteristic in hyalinizing trabecular adenomas and can be discernible from other histologic types of BM-producing tumors.

Ultrastruct Pathol 1998 Jan-Feb;22(1):39-46 Abstract quote
Recently tumors have been reported that have an architectural pattern and cellularity similar to hyalinizing trabecular adenoma and show either parafollicular differentiation or histological findings suggestive of malignant neoplasm of the follicular cells.
This study describes two cases of thyroid carcinoma of follicular cells that displayed a hylinizing trabecular pattern. The first case was a 25-year-old euthyroid woman with a cold thyroid nodule in the right lobe. On fine needle aspiration a diagnosis of papillary carcinoma was rendered. The thyroidectomy disclosed a 2-cm, firm, brown, encapsulated tumor in the right lobe. The tumor had a growth pattern and cytologic features similar to those described in hyalinizing trabecular adenoma. The differences between these neoplasms were the presence of mitotic figures, prominence of the nucleolus, capsular blood vessel invasion, and microtubule groups in the endoplasmic reticulum. The second case was a 19-year-old euthyroid woman with a cold thyroid nodule in the left lobe. A cytologic diagnosis of follicular proliferation was rendered. A 4-cm, firm, whitish, encapsulated nodule was found in the left lobectomy. The tumor cells were arranged in two clear-cut patterns: a trabecular hyalinizing pattern with a small focus of papillary growth, and a follicular pattern.
These findings confirm the existence of malignant thyroid tumors with a hyalinizing trabecular pattern and illustrate the nonspecificity of this peculiar pattern, since it may also be seen in papillary carcinomas of the thyroid. The relationship between hyalinizing trabecular adenoma and papillary carcinoma of the thyroid is commented on.
Prevalence and incidence of cytoplasmic yellow bodies in thyroid neoplasms.
Rothenberg HJ, Goellner JR, Carney JA.
Division of Anatomic Pathology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.
Arch Pathol Lab Med 2003 Jun;127(6):715-7 Abstract quote
Context.-Cytoplasmic yellow bodies are a common and frequent histologic finding in hyalinizing trabecular adenoma of the thyroid gland, a morphologically distinctive neoplasm, and are visible in fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the tumor.
Objective.-To determine the prevalence and frequency of cytoplasmic yellow bodies in common thyroid tumors.
Design.-Microscopic slides of random cases of papillary carcinoma (61 cases), follicular adenoma (27 cases), and Hurthle cell adenoma (12 cases) were searched for cytoplasmic yellow bodies.
Setting and Patients.-Slides were from patients who had undergone surgery at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn, and were obtained from the Mayo Clinic Tissue Registry.
Main Outcome Measure.-Presence or absence of cytoplasmic yellow bodies.
Results.-Cytoplasmic yellow bodies were found in papillary carcinoma (62%), follicular carcinoma (22%), and Hurthle cell adenoma (83%) but were very infrequent numerically in each tumor type.
Conclusions.-Cytoplasmic yellow bodies may be present in papillary carcinoma and in follicular and Hurthle cell adenomas, but because they are uncommon in these tumors, they are unlikely to be found in fine-needle aspiration biopsy smears. Therefore, cytoplasmic yellow bodies are a useful cytomorphologic indicator of hyalinizing trabecular adenoma of the thyroid gland.
Hyalinizing Trabecular Adenoma and Papillary Carcinoma of the Thyroid Gland Express Different Cytokeratin Patterns

Am J Surg Pathol 2000;24:877-881 Abstract quote
It has recently been suggested that hyalinizing trabecular adenoma of the thyroid is an encapsulated variant of papillary carcinoma because of certain similarities of their histology, the occasional occurrence of both tumors in the same gland, and their similar pattern of expression of cytokeratins, including staining for cytokeratin 19.
To investigate this notion further, we examined immunocytochemically the expression of a series of cytokeratins in 12 hyalinizing trabecular adenomas and six papillary carcinomas. Hyalinizing trabecular adenoma showed no or minimal reactivity for cytokeratin 19, whereas papillary carcinoma was almost always strongly reactive. Also, hyalinizing trabecular adenoma showed no staining for high-molecular-weight (HMW) cytokeratin, whereas papillary carcinoma was strongly positive.
Thus, there are different patterns of cytokeratin 19 and HMW cytokeratin expression in hyalinizing trabecular adenoma and papillary carcinoma. The findings do not support the suggestion that hyalinizing trabecular adenoma is an encapsulated variant of papillary carcinoma.
Cell Membrane and Cytoplasmic Staining for MIB-1 in Hyalinizing Trabecular Adenoma of the Thyroid Gland

From the Department of Pathology (M.H.), University of Tokushima School of Medicine, Japan; and the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology (J.A.C.), Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation, Rochester, MN, U.S.A.
Am J Surg Pathol 2000;24:575-578 Abstract quote
The monoclonal MIB-1 antibody reacts with the nuclei of cells in the late G1, S, G2, and M phases of the cell cycle. Previously, we found two cases of hyalinizing trabecular adenoma that showed cell membrane and cytoplasmic immunopositivity for the antibody.
The purpose of this investigation was to confirm this exceptional reactive pattern of MIB-1 in hyalinizing trabecular adenoma. For the study, we collected 13 additional hyalinizing trabecular adenomas and stained a total of 15 tumors using MIB-1 antibody. Ten cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma were studied similarly. All hyalinizing trabecular adenomas showed strong positivity for the antibody in 90% or more of the tumor cells, localized especially to the cell membrane and also to the cytoplasm. There was no cell membrane or cytoplasmic MIB-1 positivity among the 10 papillary carcinomas. Luminal border of normal extratumoral thyroid follicles rarely showed faint immunopositivity.
Our findings indicate that strong cell membrane and cytoplasmic immunoreactivity for MIB-1 is a characteristic of the hyalinizing trabecular adenoma. Staining for MIB-1 will be useful in differentiating hyalinizing trabecular adenoma from papillary carcinoma, which shares a number of cytologic and histologic findings with hyalinizing trabecular adenoma.
Galectin-3 expression in hyalinizing trabecular tumors of the thyroid gland.
Gaffney RL, Carney JA, Sebo TJ, Erickson LA, Volante M, Papotti M, Lloyd RV.
Am J Surg Pathol 2003 Apr;27(4):494-8 Abstract quote
Galectin-3, a beta-galactoside-binding lectin, is overexpressed in many neoplasms and may be useful when differentiating between benign and malignant thyroid neoplasms. Recently, interest has focused on the classification and biologic behavior of hyalinizing trabecular tumors (HTTs).
In this study we compared galectin-3 expression in a number of different thyroid neoplasms to gain insight into the biologic behavior of HTT. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from 153 thyroid neoplasms were stained with a monoclonal antibody to galectin-3. These tumors included 58 HTTs, 60 papillary carcinomas, 21 follicular carcinomas, and 14 follicular adenomas. Reactivity was graded as negative, weak, or strong by three observers. The average patient age was similar in the patients with HTTs, papillary carcinomas, and follicular adenomas. The patients with follicular carcinomas were approximately a decade older than all other groups of patients. All groups of thyroid neoplasms occurred more frequently in female patients. Follow-up revealed metastatic disease in patients with papillary (36.6%) and follicular carcinomas (19%) but not in patients with follicular adenomas or HTTs. Galectin-3 immunostaining showed that 60% of the HTTs were negative or had weak (H) (1+) staining and 40% had strong (2-3+) staining.
In the majority of the reactive cases, staining was diffuse and predominantly cytoplasmic. Fifty of the 60 (83%) papillary carcinomas and 11 of the 21 (52%) follicular carcinomas showed strong immunostaining. The immunostaining was also diffuse in the majority of papillary and follicular carcinomas. The strong immunoreactivity seen in most of the carcinomas was in contrast to the relatively weak or negative immunostaining in the majority of follicular adenomas (93%). The immunophenotype of HTT, as characterized by galectin-3 expression, is intermediate between that of benign and malignant thyroid tumors, suggesting that some tumors with strong staining may behave like carcinomas, although this was not noted in our cases.
Our study suggests that the variable pattern of galectin-3 expression may reflect a difference in biologic behavior between HTT and papillary thyroid carcinoma.

These men are caught in the grey area of the legal system; they cannot reside within 2500 feet of any gathering place for children but they must live within the city according to the conditions of their parole. Never one to shy away from the morally complex, Banks presents these men sympathetically and challenges the reader to reexamine his/her own moral code. Lost Memory of Skin was a 2012 Pen/Faulkner Award finalist.
Sparsely written and often surprising, The Forgotten Waltz is a novel set in Ireland that deals with the emotional taboo of extramarital affairs. A chance meeting leads Gina and Sean into a passionate affair that takes years to arrive at a crescendo. Booker Prize winner Anne Enright takes an unapologetic look at love, marriage, infidelity and secrets. Enright's writing is non-linear and poetic. Musical metaphors abound in the witty dance that is The Forgotten Waltz, which was shortlisted for the 2012 Orange Prize.
Swamplandia! by debut author Karen Russell is the story of Ava Bigtree, a thirteen-year-old alligator wrestler at her family's animal park in the Florida Everglades. The struggle to save the park after the death of her mother rests squarely on Ava's shoulders, as the other members of the family withdraw to battle their own personal demons. Whimsical, beautiful language anchors this magical tale to a place somewhere between imagination and reality. Swamplandia! was a finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

MLB Storylines: Masterson to get the ball again on Opening Day
In this MLB News and Notes segment, I will be giving occasional reports on the latest news and rumors throughout the MLB. I also will try to tweet news and rumors as I see them, so feel free to follow me on Twitter: @ajnicholsIBI.
With no major signings or trades occurring on Tuesday, there are no "Top Stories." Instead, I will give a rundown of all of the day's news and notes.
Here are the stories from Tuesday, March 11th.
Tribe News
- Following Tuesday's game, Indians manager Terry Francona named Justin Masterson his Opening Day starter. This will be the third consecutive Opening Day start for Masterson.
- Masterson also pitched on Tuesday, leading the Indians to a 7-1 victory over the Diamondbacks. The sinkerballer did not give up a hit in his four innings, although he did hit two batters and walk another while striking out one. The Tribe offense pounded out 14 hits, with Michael Bourn, Asdrubal Cabrera, Yan Gomes, and Lonnie Chisenhall collecting two hits apiece. One of Chisenhall's two hits was a two-run homer to right-center field.
- Cleveland played to a 7-7 tie with the White Sox on Tuesday in a "B" game. Aaron Harang got the start and gave up two runs (one earned) on five hits in this three innings. He also struck out six and did not walk a batter. Ryan Raburn and Elliot Johnson each collected two hits in the game.
Others News and Notes
- The MRI results for Braves pitcher Kris Medlen showed possible ligament damage in his throwing arm. Medlen will have further tests done and will meet with Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion before determining his next step.
- Rich Dubroff of CSNBaltimore.com reported that there has been mutual interested between the Orioles and third baseman Manny Machado on a contract extension, but there have been no talks yet as Baltimore's focus is on getting Machado healthy first.
- Baltimore general manager Dan Duquette told reporters that other teams have gotten in the mix for Ervin Santana recently as some teams have had to deal with injuries in camp, making Santana more desirable. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports wrote that Santana's representatives have been "talking to everyone."
- Britt Ghiroli of MLB.com reported that the Orioles have been impressed with second base prospect Jonathan Schoop and that he is making a strong case this spring to be Baltimore's second baseman come Opening Day.
- The Angels have released pitcher Mark Mulder after the veteran's comeback attempt was cut short due to a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered during agility drills.

per AJC:
Braves pitcher Kris Medlen spent the past few days coming to grips with the reality that he's almost certainly going to need Tommy John surgery for the second time in five years, after tearing the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow in a game Sunday.
It's a shame because Kris is a good guy (at least from interviews I've seen with him).

Braves have signed Santana to a 1-year deal...worth the same as the QO ($14.1M).
March 12, 2014 - 9:30 AM EDT
The Beachy injury along with Melden and Minor finally forced the Braves hand to sign Santana to one year deal.

In french, such paintings or pictures, composed ,in a not natural way,with fruits and things, are called "dead natures" (natures mortes). This one , with the knife in action, would perfectly illustrate the meaning of this way to speak!!

I agree with Malyss. :) I also like the way the orange really stands out against the black background.

An excellent photo and I like the contrast of the orange against the black background. An orange is much nicer than a kumquat! Thanks for your visit! I always loved your national costumes, especially the weddingdresses. The jewelry is so beautiful! My husband bought me a necklace of silver in Norway.

Still life photography was once the rage. You have an excellent example here! And you are getting a lot of use out of your orange (or eating a lot of oranges). On another subject, I saw an article in a Mazda ad magazine about driving an hydrogen fueled Mazda from Oslo to Bergen (last leg was by ferry). Again some beautiful country along the route!

your RuneE, did you just photoshop it there, or your knife is engraved?
It looks a very lethal one, a student in Singapore is allegedly to have killled his professor with a fruit knife.

text: Dear annelid lovers, I am new to this list and I would like to start with a request. I am doing a PhD study on macrobenthic communities of tropical and temperate sandy beaches. During this work I came across two species of spionids, collected in Madagascar, which I believe to be new to science: Spionid 1 -most of the characters fit it in the genus Scolelepis (prostomium pointed, branchiae from 2nd setiger till the last one, anterior notopodial and neuropodial setae all capillaries, with posterior neuro and notopodial bi-tridentaded hooded hooks, pygidium with a ventral cushion below the anus, etc.) - the outstanding characteristic is the occurrence of a stout hook on the neuropodium of the 4th setiger (with two capillary setae); in some individuals this hook also appears on the 5th and 6th setigers. This is the only difference, otherwise those segments are exactly the same as the ones from other parts of the body (with branchiae and not modified). - several characteristics prevent this spionid to fit into existent genera with stout hooks on anterior setigers such as Polydorella, Tripolydora, Boccardia, Pseudopolydora or Polydora. Spionid 2 The other spionid I found in Madagascar could be identified as Scolelepis lefebrvei, but it deviates from J.H. Day's description on two aspects: - it has hooded hooks in posterior notopodia and - the hooks may be uni and bi-dentate I am not a taxonomist and I am not updated with the latest discoveries on Spionidae taxonomy (our library is not helpfull at all on taxonomic matters). Thus, I would immensely appreciate if anybody could help us with the identification of these spionids. Thanks for your attention.

Kirk Cousins got off to a shaky start in 2015. After six games he was struggling with six touchdowns and eight interceptions. In the last two games during that stretch, against the Falcons and Jets, interceptions had been very costly.
He may not have been on the verge of being benched after those losses in Atlanta and the Meadowlands but if he had continued on that course he would not have established himself as the Redskins' long-term starter. But his performance picked up after the Redskins went down 24-0 against the Bucs and the rest is history.
Cousins hasn't necessarily locked up the job for the long term yet. The team wants to see more if they are going to give him a big-money deal. If he and the team are going to come to an agreement on a multiyear contract it would help if he had a solid 2016 season.
He should be better in the earlier part of the season for a couple of reasons. For one thing he will spend all of OTAs and all of training camp as the No. 1 quarterback, working with the first team offense. He didn't get regular work with the starters until after the second preseason game last year.
And Cousins will be facing what appears to be a slightly softer slate of pass defenses in the first part of this year as opposed to last year. Here is the comparison using Football Outsiders' pass defense DVOA metric (note that when it comes to defensive DVOA lower and negative numbers are better):
A caveat before we dive into this. Pass defenses do change from year to year. The three defensive free agents the Giants signed could greatly improve their pass defense. Or, as we saw with the Redskins often over the years, the free agents could take some time to fit in with the defense (or they may never fit in at all).
With that in mind, it does look like Cousins will be facing a slightly softer slate of pass defenses in September and October. Last year there were two defensives that finished with negative numbers last year; this year there are none. None of the defenses in the first six games this year were in the top 10 last year and only two, the Eagles and Steelers, were even in the top half and they were just barely there.
It will be good for Cousins if he can get off to a strong start but playing well against soft defenses is not really what the Redskins and many fans want to see. They want Cousins to be run through the gauntlet of some tough pass defenses to see what he is really made of. While the Redskins don't face the Legion of Boom or any other similar "shutdown" units, the going does get significantly tougher from Week 7 on:
Again, this is based on last year and things will not be static. But it gives you a general idea that the going is likely to be tougher for Cousins in the second part of the season. Four of the opponents were in negative numbers in pass defense DVOA and six of them were in the top half of the NFL.
So if Cousins gets off to a sizzling start in 2016, don't be surprised. If he continues that into the second part of the season then it will be time to be impressed.

Daniela Hantuchova entered the fourth round of Wimbledon by beating Katarina Srebotnik 2-6, 6-3, 6-4. Fascinating, I know.
And here she is yesterday at the All England Lawn Club or whatever the hell they call Wimbledon. Lawn Clubs. I think they have a lot of those in middle class suburban neighborhoods. You know, the guys who use so much fertilizer on their lawns that they have to cut the grass two or three times a week? What a bunch of fuckin losers. They should watch me and see how cool it is to stay inside on a computer all day.
What was I talking about? Oh right, tennis. As you'll notice in these pics, Daniela has some semi-revealing faults in her clothing. And thank me for not giving you ultra-high res photos of her face — she's got a little bit of Mauresmo fur and some acne. But I think that's okay when your legs are as long as hers. My God man. Willow trees aren't that willowy.

A World War II bomb shell has been removed from Stanley Park by Vancouver police.
The mortar shell was discovered by someone with a metal detector near the HMCS Discovery naval base on Deadman's Island Thursday afternoon.
A Vancouver police bomb squad closed off the part of the park around the facility, which was built during World War II.
Police X-rayed the shell, but could not determine whether it was live or not. It has been removed for further analysis.
Police have now left and reopened the park.

Corruption is one of the biggest problems faced by Indonesia. Despite the efforts to combat corruption have been made in recent years with the establishment of the KPK (anti-corruption commission), but it is not easy because corruption has become a negative tradition. So the need for measures of effective eradication is the basis for eliminating corruption.
The number of Muslims in Indonesia, is actually a very remarkable potential to develop and promote the Indonesian nation, but the rampant corruption that have marred the progress expected. Among these are the causes of corruption. First, the transformation of society into decline in morality, attitude change is to make people who experience anomie (Old values that form the law has been abandoned, while new values that have not materialized.) Rapid change, make people impatient and tend to be lazy. Second, the use of networks for economic methods or strategies to survive. Third, corruption is rooted in the norms and bureaucratic institutions that put performance dramatically. Fourth, weak institutional leadership management of the government. Fifth, the legal political product that produces instruments of potential corruption laws, such as the establishment of law through democratic processes with national legislation which fully engineered (lie) and political interpretation. Sixth, the application of the law against perpetrators of corruption in addition to slow is also not a deterrent effect and is considered the usual case.
Although the causes of corruption vary, but one thing that should be noted that corruption is a cultural product, because the political system, socio-economic and secular culture.In a country like Indonesia is a secular, religion is only present in personal life, was not present in the political, social, economic and so forth. Rules contained in the religion of God, just a matter of each individual. He did not attend officially in political law, socio-cultural, economic and so forth.
For example, products such as the politics of anti-corruption laws that are born by some regime in Indonesia, can never be effective, partly because the law only to meet the momentary political interests of political rulers. He not only does not stand on God's law (sharia) is enthroned in the hearts of the people and believed by most people in Indonesia, but generally do not stand for the interests of society. Thus, the law is made, never got a real strong support from the community. Therefore, people do not give a strong response, judges, prosecutors, and police as law enforcers, not the most motivated to practice the eradication of corruption, which occurs, law enforcement agencies involved to look for opportunities to collect treasures for the sake of the family is eligible to ensure survival until retirement.
Thus, the need for a way to fix it starts with improving the human with the improvement of monotheism and morality to improve the mental and moral has been damaged, as well as straighten the intention and determination to rebuild Indonesia with full devotion and sincerity. In order to achieve this goal, law enforcement agencies such as police, prosecutors, and judges should be clear without any involvement of political interests. At the same time, legal materials should be upgraded and equipped with the very strict supervision to minimize corrupt actions that will happen which is the root cause of slow development and the development of the Indonesian nation and the role of society in the oversight of government agencies to participate actively against corruption.
