CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – On Saturday, Sept. 17 the MIT women's volleyball team will join the Side-Out Foundation (Side-Out) in its effort to unite volleyball players and coaches in working towards the common goal of furthering breast cancer awareness, education and patient services. All fans are asked to wear pink and donations will be accepted at the door. The Engineers, currently 9-0 this season, will host NEWMAC rival Clark University and local foe Simmons College in a tri-match beginning at 11:00 a.m.
The term side-out refers to a situation in volleyball when one team wins a point while its opponent is serving, thereby regaining serve or control of play. It is hoped that this Side-Out will do the same for breast cancer patients, providing them with the support, education and best available treatments to regain control of their lives.

What should I do? The Social Media Conundrum
Posted by AJ Blythe at Monday, February 27, 2017 0 comments
It's been a while since I posted to my blog. During my downtime I've been contemplating social media and where I want to put my efforts - like everyone these days I'm time poor and need to prioritise. I've tried out a few and read about others. I found this really cool explanation of what's out there at the moment:
Me being me, I thought I'd do some research to see what others were using, the demographics of those users and so on. Instead of making things clearer things just got more confusing. I haven't heard of nearly half the top ten used social media platforms in the world!
|This statistic provides information on the most popular networks worldwide as of January 2017, ranked by number of active accounts. Source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/272014/global-social-networks-ranked-by-number-of-users/
In addition to thinking about social media I thought long and hard about my blog - where does it fit into my 'social media time' allowance? Does it fit?
After much consideration I've decided:
- to keep my blog. Hopefully blogging at least twice a week. But I've also decided I want to set up my author web page and integrate my blog into that. So I've done a course on branding and today am starting a course on developing a wordpress web page. Watch this space for updates!
- to still tweet. I've been a bit on/off with twitter, but I'm going to try and get in the habit of setting aside a little bit of time everyday to 'check in'.
- to try out instagram. I joined instagram about a year or so ago. I used it for a little while but didn't really have a clear idea of what to do with it. I enjoy taking photos so I think this if I give it another go I'll have fun.
- keep my pinterest page. This is more of a personal thing rather than a business one. I like having a place to keep images of interest together.
What social media works for you?

Interview with Judy Penz Sheluk
Posted by AJ Blythe at Sunday, November 20, 2016 15 comments
An Amazon International bestselling author, I "met" Judy Penz Sheluk through Sisters in Crime – Guppy Branch, an anagram of sorts for "the great unpublished," although after many years in existence, several members are now published authors who have elected to stay in the Guppy fold to mentor and/or share their publishing experience with others. Judy is one of this group; a member since 2013, her debut novel, The Hanged Man's Noose, was published in July 2015. Skeletons in the Attic was published in August 2015. Her short crime fiction is included in several anthologies, most recently, The Whole She-Bang 3, a blind-judged collection published by the Toronto branch of Sisters in Crime.Judy lives in Alliston, Ontario, a small town about 90 minutes northwest of Toronto, Canada, with her husband, Mike, and their 1-year-old Golden Retriever, Gibbs.
I hope you enjoy my interview with her:
Me: Where do you get your ideas?
Judy: Life! The basic premise behind The Hanged Man's Noose is this: a greedy real estate developer comes to a small town with plans to build a mega-box store on the town's historic Main Street, thereby threatening the livelihoods of the independent shop owners. The town I was living in at the time I wrote it was going through similar development, to much outrage. I merely took that premise and thought, "What if someone was willing to kill to stop it?"
The basic premise behind Skeletons in the Attic is this: a thirty-six year old woman, Callie Barnstable, inherits a house from her father, who died in an "unfortunate occupational accident." Not only was Callie unaware of the house, she was completely unprepared for the condition of inheritance: move into the house and find out who murdered her mother thirty years before. That idea came to me while I was waiting in my lawyer's office to revise my will. He'd been delayed in court, and I got to wondering, "What if I was here to inherit? What if…"
My husband likes to joke that he sleeps with his eyes open.
Me: Why do you write mysteries?
Judy: I've loved the mystery genre since my first Nancy Drew book. In my teens, I discovered (and devoured) every Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh book. By my mid-twenties, I'd read every Dick Francis, Ed McBain and John D. MacDonald. Today, I'm a huge fan of Wendy James, Tana French, Sue Grafton, Louise Penny, John Sandford, Sara J. Henry, and Michael Connelly. People often ask me if reading in the genre I write can cause problems for me. The reverse is true. Reading is the best teacher. Before I started writing short stories, for example, I read several crime fiction anthologies.
Me: How difficult was it to find a publisher?
Judy: I naively thought it would be easy. I'd been a freelance writer and editor since 2003, and had developed a decent reputation. I also understood the business. But it took about two years to find a publisher for Noose. For Skeletons, it took about two days…once you've had some success, it does get easier. I purposely have two publishers (with a sequel due to each for 2017) because they are two different series, and I didn't want to put all my books in one publisher's basket. There have been so many changes in the publishing world, and they continue to come. If readers are interested, my website, www.judypenzsheluk.com, has a series titled "My Publishing Journey." Start with the first post (select from the Archives), "The First Cut is the Deepest," and go from there. I'm very honest about my journey, the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
Me: Do your books have helpful hints (recipes, book club notes) at the back?
Judy: No recipes. I like to say my books are amateur sleuth with an edge. There's the requisite small town and amateur sleuth, but there's no cats, crafts, or cookie recipes. That said, on the cover of Noose, there's a "Treasontini," which is signature drink of The Hanged Man's Noose (a pub on Main Street). Here's the recipe:
|Gibbs at our cottage on Lake Superior (northern Ontario)
How to Make a Treasontini
2 oz. Blueberry Vodka
2 oz. Triple Sec
2 oz. Blueberry Juice
1 dash Club Soda
Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
Ice Cubes
Preparation: Combine blueberry vodka, triple sec and blueberry juice in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes. Shake well and strain into a cocktail glass. Top with club soda, garnish with blueberries, and serve.
Me: Thank you, Judy. I'll see you in the Guppy "pond."
Find Judy on www.judypenzsheluk.com, where she blogs about the writing life and interviews other authors. You can also find her on Facebook, Pinterest , Goodreads, Twitter and Amazon.

What user Say about Birkenstock Unisex Arizona Sandal,Mocha Suede,39 M EU?
Birkenstock Arizona is Still the King of Sandals!I have been wearing Birkenstock Arizona footprint sandals since the mid-1970's, and no other brand or style can compare to them.They are the most simple and basic sandal available, though certainly not the cheapest. But they last for many years, soothe and strengthen the wearer's feet, and in my opinion look good. Their only drawback is their usual high cost of over $100 retail. I searched the internet for a good price and stumbled across these from Amazon. They were $50 off retail, and come with Amazon's usual no-tax and no shipping cost policy. Other sandals come and go, but with the Birkenstock Arizona, most wearers are going to wear them for as many years as it takes to wear them out!
Where to get cheap Birkenstock Unisex Arizona Sandal,Mocha Suede,39 M EU ?

All City Toy Ride Photos: Flickr Set (65 photos)
In what has become an annual event, this being the second year, the Midnight Ridazz community donates toys to under privileged children. Delivered by bicycles to a central location in East LA, with riders in groups from all parts of LA planning their own routes. Masses from The West Side, Hollywood, The Valley, Pasadena, Downtown and Long Beach were represented. It was a magical evening that brought together people from all over LA for a good cause, and in typical Ridazz fashion was concluded with a big after party.
(The little guy with the two vertical eyes was my contribution to the Holiday good will.)

Santa Monica Critical Mass: December
Critical Mass in Santa Monica this month, was again tailed by police using selective enforcement of the law, giving citations for things ignored in other contexts or given as warnings.
Apparently less police force then last months ride & far fewer citations, although some believe that had more to do with a SMPD Christmas party that night then an effort to ease up the crack down. This is in fact a crack down, in the words of our mayor, who was interviewed by Fox news, which covered this months ride along with several other news stations.
Although I am a Santa Monica local I never made it out to SMCM in the past due to it conflicting with Ride-Arc, an architecturally focused ride, usually starting downtown that I was attending regularly. When I heard about the political situation brewing back home though, I wanted to come out to represent and also to see for my self what the fuss was about.
(She received a citation for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign, and a warning for being under 18 without a helmet. Seen here being interviewed by TV news after the ticket was given)
As someone who has been on many mass rides now, and read up on some of the history of the critical mass movement, I was shocked at the police attention to such a tame group. Santa Monica critical mass is so peace loving compared to any mass ride I'd ever been on, or any of the Critical Mass rides I'd read about in other cities. They stay in one lane, stop at reds without corking, let cars through at stop signs, and the route for the most parts did not follow busy streets.
(citation for "lack of forward facing lights" of which the rider had two, seen glowing on his fork)
The mayor apparently feels it is an effective use of our tax money to use the police force and clog the judicial system, in his political agenda to squash this group bike ride. A ride that has now existed for several years and done so peacefully. Why it has become such an agenda is not entirely clear, and seems to run counter to Santa Monica's supposed environmental leadership and efforts to reduce car commuting, which clogs our city far more then any bike ride can.
(Santa was apparently riding to far to left. SMPD seen here spreading the holiday cheer)

My First Wolfpack Hustle
(Image from wolfpackhustle.com)
Pictured here is the gentleman responsible for last nights ride, known affectionately as Super Cole. He's been riding Wolfpack for 52 weeks straight, and as such this ride was in his honor. The mustache makes him more aero.
Was a fun ride with a lot of intensity, averaging 19.5 mph for 44 miles. Click for ride data from my bike computer.

The Company That Spyware Built
from the try,-try-again dept
Claria is still trying to refine its image and its business model. A year and a half ago they started threatening anyone who called their software spyware and then changed their name to Claria to avoid the negative stigma associated with the Gator name. While they tried and failed to go public last year, they're still trying to clean up their image. This would be a good thing, as their image needs cleaning up... except it still seems somewhat sketchy. They're outlining a detailed plan to basically do targeted advertising arbitrage. Here's how the plan works: they buy super super cheap run of site leftover ad inventory from large publishers for next to nothing. Then, they turn around and resell that ad space as much more costly, highly targeted ad space, and clean up on the difference. How can they do this? Well, thanks to the fact that their application is already installed on so many computers, they have all this data about how and where people surf. This is the part that the article sort of glosses over. Because they've been able to get this... hmm... let's call it "monitorware" on so many computers (often without the owners of said computers knowing about it), they're in a position to do this. So, this isn't so much "cleaning up their act," as leveraging their past misdeeds (installing an app that records what you do and sends it back to their servers without adequately revealing to the end user what was happening) to make themselves look like a more legitimate business. That, in some ways, seems much, much worse. In the past, attempts at similar offerings have met with outrage from users who don't feel comfortable being targeted in this manner. It's not clear why Claria thinks it'll be fine this time.

BRUSSELS, March 21 (UPI) -- The European community sees peace with the separatist Kurdistan Workers' Party as building confidence, the European Parliament said Thursday.
The European Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee passed a resolution Thursday saying "renewed mutual engagement" is needed to maintain a constructive relationship with Turkey.
Turkey's geopolitical rows with Cyprus, the Kurdish issue and judicial reform have presented obstacles to its move to establish a closer relationship with the European Union.
The Kurdistan Workers' Party, known by its Kurdish initials PKK, has been fighting the Turkish government since the 1980s.
Cyprus has been divided into a Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish-occupied north since 1974. Turkey doesn't recognize the Republic of Cyprus, a member of the European Union.
"Members of Parliament welcome direct political dialogue between the Turkish government and former PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan," a European statement read. "This might open up the prospect of an historic agreement settling the Kurdish conflict in a peaceful and democratic way."
Ocalan said in a letter Thursday he was ready to end an armed struggle against the Turkish government.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he welcomed the efforts at peace.
"We would like to see the reflections of Ocalan's remarks in the shortest period of time," he was quoted by Turkish newspaper Hurriyet as saying. "Once this comes to practice, the atmosphere in Turkey and the region will change."

For each prime $p$, we have the algebraically closed field $\bar{\mathbb F}_p$ with the Frobenius automorphism.
Given any first-order statement with no free variables using the symbols $0,1, +, \times, -, /, \sigma(),=$, we can interpret it in $\bar{\mathbb F}_p$, interpreting the field operations to mean themselves and $\sigma$ to mean Frobenius.
For each prime, it is either true of false. This gives us a set of primes.
What sets of primes can be described this way?
It is easy to pick out the primes whose Frobenius elements have a certain conjugacy class in in a Galois extension of $\mathbb Q$, and to pick out finite sets of primes.
Are there any sets of this type not generated by conjugacy classes in Galois groups and finite sets under the logical operations?

Creative America Restocks... Hires Former DHS/ICE Spokesperson
from the joe-grassroots? dept
Well, it seems they knew they were missing out on one key ingredient to prove just how "grassroots" they were... so they went over the law enforcement side of things, snapping up one Chris Ortman from Homeland Security. Yes, the same Homeland Security responsible for abusing copyright laws to illegally seize and censor websites for over a year under no legal basis.
Yes, that's right folks, the group that is pretending to be grassroots, but is really an astroturf organization -- which has bent over backwards to insist that SOPA/PIPA were not about censorship at all -- has hired someone from the very US government agency that has been using similar copyright laws to seize and censor websites. Perhaps his nickname is "grassroots"?
And the group wonders why actual artists aren't buying what they're selling. Perhaps rather than staffing it with former studio execs, MPAA lackeys and law enforcement censors... why not try actual content creators next time? Oh, perhaps it's because lots of actual content creators know that SOPA/PIPA are bad ideas.

Rhinos could be extinct within the next 25 years if they are not protected, an environmental affairs rhino issue manager said yesterday.
"At the rate at which these animals are being slaughtered, over the past 20 years or so — if that continued there would be no rhino to talk about in another 25 years or so," Mavuso Msimang told reporters in Johannesburg.
"The rate at which they are born currently is higher than the rate at which they are taken out, for now. They are not about to be extinct, not next year or shortly… But how do we contain this to have natural growth rates?"
Msimang was addressing reporters at the Johannesburg Country Club on the consultative dialogues the department of environmental affairs has had with various parties in the rhino industry.
He said the purpose of the dialogue would be to report back to government and make various recommendations in order to save the rhino.
South Africa had a responsibility to conserve and protect rhino because it had the biggest rhino population in the world. The rhino was also one of the "big five".
Msimang said there had been serious consultations which he hoped, at the end of all the discussions, would influence policy.
"Government is serious in seeking solutions," he said.
The issuing of permits, legalising trade, technology, intelligence and safety and security were among topics discussed.
"Security has to be priority number one… Security must be beefed up and it must be treated in a very sophisticated manner," he said.
"You require a combination of activities to save rhino… that includes good conservation strategies."
Msimang said the arguments for and against trade also raised important issues including the estimation of the demand for rhino horn.
"If it could be established that trading is going to increase security for the rhino, it is going to encourage propagation of the rhino species — if it could — I would find it difficult to recommend against it."
Msimang said the trade and ownership of rhino horns was a fad internationally.
"The use of a horn is a symbol of wealth.
"As long as you have people who have money to dispose of and as long as South Africa produces rhino and is unable to protect them — the threat to the population will continue," he said.
Msimang said the consultations continued and would formally end in September.
So far this year 339 rhino had been killed in South Africa, the department said on Wednesday.

When my first child, Gabi, was born, I continued to work and take care of her. My second child, my son, Teozinho, is a special needs child. He was born prematurely at eight months, with Down syndrome and a heart disease. I knew he would have to undergo heart surgery to survive.
I panicked. I didn't think I could look after him and work at the same time.
I realized I had strong support from my family and friends, and at my work with global professional services company Accenture. When I learned that Teozinho would need heart surgery, I asked for help at work.
I wanted to have a fixed routine, instead of moving from project to project. My workplace has been fantastic, and I have been able to handle work and care for my children.
My son has taught me a lot. This seemingly fragile child is very strong. He is so thankful for life. He has shown me that we are all unique, and we all have something to contribute.
We can better understand what life has to offer when we begin to understand that people are unique individuals.

Soybean yields in several top-producing states were significantly impacted by hot, dry weather in August, resulting in a 2.4-bushel reduction in average U.S. yield, according to a USDA report on U.S. crop conditions as of Oct. 1.
Meanwhile, USDA is projecting a record corn crop for average yield and production and a record rice crop for average yield. In addition, cotton yields improved from last month, including a 139-pound increase in Louisiana.
USDA dropped average U.S. soybean yield from last month from 36.4 bushels to 34 bushels. The reason was big declines in the top four producing states: Illinois, a drop of 5 bushels; Indiana, down 3 bushels; Iowa, down 5 bushels; and Minnesota, down 5 bushels.
Meanwhile average yields higher than last month were reported in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Tennessee.
U.S. soybean production was forecast at 2.47 billion bushels, down 7 percent from the September forecast and 10 percent below 2002. If realized, this would be the lowest production since 1996.
According to the Farm Service Agency, area planted is estimated at 73.6 million acres, down 68,000 acres from the August estimate. Area for harvest is forecast at 72.5 million acres, down 88,000 acres from September, but up fractionally from the 2002 acreage.
All cotton production was forecast at 17.6 million bales, up 4 percent from last month and 2 percent above last year's production. Yield is expected to average 696 pounds per acre, up 29 pounds from last month. Ten of the 17 cotton estimating states are expecting a higher production forecast than a month ago.
Harvested area, at 12.1 million acres, is down 1 percent from last month due to an acreage decrease in Texas. This decrease was due to the southern High Plains area being hit by late-season hail storms.
The largest forecast yield increases from last month were reported in Louisiana, 139 pounds; Mississippi, 65 pounds; Missouri, 49 pounds; Alabama, 47 pounds; Arkansas, 33 pounds; and Georgia, 30 pounds.
Corn production was forecast at 10.2 billion bushels, up 3 percent from last month and 13 percent above 2002. Yields are expected to average 142.2 bushels per acre, up 3.7 bushels from September and up 12.2 bushels from last year.
If realized, both production and yield would be the largest ever. Both records were set in 1994 when production was estimated at 10.1 billion bushels and the yield was 138.6 bushels per acre. Yields turned out to be higher than expected across much of the Corn Belt and central Great Plains as farmers began to harvest their crops.
Producers are now realizing that the hot, dry conditions during August did not have as much negative impact on yields as originally thought. According to FSA, farmers now expect to harvest 71.8 million acres of corn for grain, down 50,000 acres from September but up 4 percent from 2002.
U.S. rice production for 2003-04 was forecast at 197.3 million cwt, down about 1 million cwt from last month. Average yield was forecast at a record 6,624 pounds per acre, but 31 pounds per acre below last month.
Long-grain production was forecast at 145.3 million cwt, about 2 million cwt below last month, while combined medium- and short-grain production, at 52.0 million cwt, is 1 million cwt above last month.

Full Page Ads Used in Beef Wars
It looks like the beef wars are heating up.
At the end of February, Trader Joe's took out full page ads warning readers to be cautious about drug abuse. They showed pictures of highly distressed cows in CAFO situations. The bottom line to the ad was to notify potential consumers that the majority of the antibiotics that are used in this country were needlessly injected into livestock.
Now, in the Idaho Statesman there is a full-page ad showing the backside of three cows and the headline is Butt Out and is aimed at the consumer's union out of San Francisco and New York. They are claiming that consumers union is bullying certain grocers to supply only high-priced natural and organic beef.

Russia's military claimed Friday that it may have killed the Islamic State group leader in an airstrike in late May.
The country's defense ministry said it was verifying reports that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed on the southern outskirts of Syria's Raqqa on May 28 along with other several senior commanders from the extremist group.
However, there was no independent confirmation and previous reports of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's death have turned out to be false.
Operation Inherent Resolve, the U.S. military's operational name for its actions against the Islamic State, or ISIS, in Iraq and Syria did not immediately return a request for comment.
Russia's defense ministry said Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed as he attended a meeting to discuss ISIS's withdrawal from Raqqa, its de facto capital.
"The strike, carried out by Su-35 and Su-34 jets, destroyed high-ranking commanders of the terrorist group, who were part of the so-called military council of the ISIS, and also some 30 middle ranking field commanders and up to 300 militants who were their bodyguards," the ministry said.
If Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's death is confirmed it would be a major blow to the jihadist group and self-declared caliphate as it is in retreat across Iraq and Syria.
The U.S. State Department's "Reward for Justice" program has a $25 million reward for information leading to his capture.
"Under al-Baghdadi, (ISIS) has been responsible for the deaths of thousands of civilians in the Middle East, including the brutal murder of numerous civilian hostages from Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Al-Baghdadi has taken credit for numerous terrorist attacks in Iraq since 2011, killing thousands of his fellow Iraqi citizens," the RFJ's "Wanted" profile of him says.

A Study of Sunitinib in Patients With Advanced Cholangiocarcinoma (SUN-CK)
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01718327
Recruitment Status : Completed
First Posted : October 31, 2012
Last Update Posted : January 31, 2017

- How to Read a Study Record
For patients with non-resectable cholangiocarcinoma, gemcitabine with cisplatin is considered as the reference treatment in first line chemotherapy. However, the outcomes of these patients remain limited and therefore more effective drugs are warranted. The context of the disease and current data on sunitinib suggest that sunitinib may have activity in patients with advanced non resectable cholangiocarcinoma.
Thereby, it is proposed to conduct an open label single arm trial aiming evidencing activity of sunitinib in such a patient population.
|Condition or disease
|Unresectable and Advanced Cholangiocarcinoma
|Drug: Sunitinib
|Phase 2
The primary objective is to evaluate the overall survival of patients with advanced and unresectable cholangiocarcinoma treated continuously by sunitinib as second line at the dose of 37.5 mg per day, after one line of chemotherapy and to determine whether sunitinib deserves further studies in this indication.
The secondary objectives are
- To evaluate the criteria of efficacy
- To evaluate the effects of sunitinib on tumor angiogenesis
- To characterize the safety profile of sunitinib
- To identify markers associated with response to sunitinib
|Study Type :
|Interventional (Clinical Trial)
|Actual Enrollment :
|53 participants
|Intervention Model:
|Single Group Assignment
|None (Open Label)
|Primary Purpose:
|Official Title:
|A Phase II Open-label Single Arm Study of Sunitinib in Patients With Advanced Cholangiocarcinoma
|Actual Study Start Date :
|September 1, 2011
|Actual Primary Completion Date :
|November 17, 2016
|Actual Study Completion Date :
|November 17, 2016
Experimental: open label, single arm
single arm: sunitinib until progresion or unacceptable toxicity
Drug: Sunitinib
sunitinib dose :37.5mg/day
Other Name: sutent
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: time interval from first sunitinib dose to the date of death as a result of any cause assessed up to 3 years ]to evaluate the overall survival of patients with advanced and unresectable cholangiocarcinoma treated continuously by sunitinib as second line at the dose of 37.5 mg per day, after one line of chemotherapy and to determine whether sunitinib deserves further studies in this indication.
- To evaluate the criteria of efficacy (PFS, ORR) [ Time Frame: time interval from first sunitinib dose to documented disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years after the beginning of the study ]
Criteria of efficacy will be determined by:
- The time to progression under treatment defined as time from first sunitinib dose to documented disease progression or death due to any cause.
- The objective response rate (ORR) defined as the percentage of all patients who experienced a confirmed complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) based on RECIST criteria. The best overall response, defined as the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence, will be considered.
- To evaluate the effects of sunitinib on tumor angiogenesis [ Time Frame: Time interval from baseline to the end of treatment, an expected average of 6 months ]
The effects of sunitinib on tumor angiogenesis will be determined using the following imaging techniques:
- Tumor density modification assessed on CT-scan
- The functional response according to modifications of vascular permeability assessed by either dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging parameters and/or diffusion MRI.
- To characterize the safety profile of sunitinib (collection of AEs) [ Time Frame: Time interval from study entry to 1 month after last study drug administration, assessed up to 3 years after the beginning of the study, assessed up to 7 months after the beginning of the study ]
Safety will be determined in this patient population by the evaluation of adverse events assessed by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.
In order to ensure complete safety data collection, all AEs occurring during the study, including any pre- and post-treatment periods required by the protocol must be recorded.
The period of observation for this study is from signature of informed consent or visit 1 to 1 month after last study drug administration.
Post-treatment follow up (including assessment/follow-up of adverse events) will be performed every 2 months
- To identify markers associated with response to sunitinib [ Time Frame: Time interval from baseline to the end of treatment, an expected average of 6 months ]markers

Tardive dyskinesia causes a person to repeat the same movement over
and over without being able to stop. This problem is caused by taking
neuroleptic or antipsychotic medicines—used for mental health, nerve, and
stomach problems—over a long period of time.
Symptoms are usually mild. The most common ones include sticking
out the tongue, smacking the lips, or grimacing. These symptoms often go away
after reducing or changing medicines.
Tardive dyskinesia is more common in adults who have been on higher
doses of these medicines for a longer time. But this problem can develop in
anyone taking these medicines.

There are a lot of important things happening in e-mail but it can command much more time than priorities suggest it should. So here are a few tips to help you grab the e-mail bull by the horns and make more efficient use of your time. Switch to Web mail; dump Outlook. Web mail apps like Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, and Outlook.com provide much more flexibility and portability than traditional client-based e-mail. Your mail stays in sync with mobile devices and computers, and you can access it from any Web browser. I use Gmail and will discuss its features in this article, but Yahoo and Microsoft have similar features, too. Bonus Content Extended column E-mail links: Gmail Yahoo! Mail Outlook.com Archive and search versus file and delete. For years, e-mail clients were set up for filing messages. I had more than 50 folders to file my e-mail so I could find something I needed. Gmail changed all that with e-mail powered by Google search. Now, rather than dragging messages between folders, simply archive and search for it later. You can tag messages with labels, which are similar to folders, but more flexible. I mostly label messages by project. This allows me to group messages from different people. Automatically filter messages. The best way to clean up your inbox is by not allowing mail to get in there in the first place. Newsletters, mailing lists, and your cousin's daily jokes should be automatically filtered with labels and excluded from the inbox. I subscribe to many newsletters about dairy news, markets and the like. When those messages arrive in my inbox, Gmail labels them with names like "Dairy News" and "Commodity Markets," then archives them so they don't show up in my inbox. Whenever I feel like reading newsletters, I simply click on the "Dairy News" label and see what is in there. Turn off notifications and check e-mail when you have down time. Interruptions kill productivity. Studies have shown that in addition to the actual time lost to interruptions, it takes 20 to 25 minutes to regain the level of focus we had attained prior to the disruption. Turn off the e-mail notifications on your phone and don't leave your e-mail program running on your computer while you are working. Check mail when you have down time or during specific times that you schedule for yourself, like first thing in the morning, then right after lunch. Hopefully with these tips you will be spending less time on e-mail and more time with your cows, because like Gandhi said, "The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated"—and we live in the greatest nation of all. Delete, Archive, Reply, Star When I am out and about and have a few minutes of downtime, I have a short routine I run on my phone. I take each unread message and do one of four things with it. a) If the message is junk or something I am not interested in I delete it. b) If the message is worth reading but doesn't require a reply I archive it. c) If the message can be answered with a few words I reply right then. d) If the message is important and needs more attention I star it. When you star (or flag, depending on your webmail app) the message is marked as read but now has a star next to it. When I return to the computer I select "Starred messages" and deal with what's in there. Once dealt with, I remove the star and the message gets archived.

it's really a funny and good story but rau is exactly one of the things which make me hate "harem" i really hate this type of mc, that clichê chickening guy, which know everything about everything(a good fight and smart) but when comes to love turn in a disgrace of manly, see a guy like that make me really hate this "otaku" way of see the things(in order to be popular with womans you must try to be completly shy, recluse, clueless and wait for the god of manga give you tons of girls for nothing or be some variations of disgusting pervert mcs), really see and hear mcs like raul hurt a lot my eyes and ears, why he can't be a few more "normal" person, why we can't have mcs, like laurence from spice and wolf or Niiya Teiichi from tasogare, mahiro from nyaruko(wich even being a tsundere he at last in his own way is trying to develop his relationship with nyaruko, not just "avoiding her at all cost) or even guys like natsu from fairy tail(which even being a few oblivious or try to hidden his feelings at last dont keep runing or have fear to hold hands with the girl he likes), why harem mcs in most of the times must be some sort of disgusting clichê mcs which or are, chickening(can't stand with womans) or completly pervs, why is so hard have a middle term (i guy in which i can believe which exist)
i really like this anime but this mc omg is so hard to bear him, everytime i see him with fino, i feel a urge to punch/kick this guy or at last order him to learn to be a "man" not a useless piece of trash which i believe even a 8 or 10 years old boy can be better than this disgrace of something wich try to cal himself a man.
and the worst is which he is a "hero" "WTF" is this type of hero??????, he can kill thousand of demons/monsters/humanoids/undeads, but completly shy/run/avoid girls???? i'm not asking he to be a pervert but to be a "man". the girls (specially fino) are the only thing who keep me watching this series, why rau can't be more like submanager

this what i really hate on harem mcs, why we can't have a "mc" where we can believe which actually can exist in the world, when we have pure comic mcs like yuma from kore wa or the guy from new ore bla bla bla anime, fine his behaviour is excused with the comic part but whe we have a guy like rau which was supposed to be a "serious guy" wtf is unbearable and disgusting, he looks like come from a dimension/planet/world or something like that where only have mans which only living to fight and womans or being lovely never existed(c'mon he even have a girl as partner and he was supposed to living in a normal place with childrens of both gender.
again i'm not ask him to be a pervert or try to take advantage of her but really act like a real person which can teach everything to her(at last share what he know since she is on his responsability) without blushing/shy/stutter/changing the talk, everytime(ok i know some topic are not all the proper to a guy talk with a girl but not everyone specially when you know the girl and know which she needs help and for now you are her best source) she act clueless, if him can't talk in public fine then call her to talk in private, if him really a good guy he not gonna try to raper her and no one around we think he gonna try, this is why i really hate many archtypes/cliche mcs because their are too much unreal to burden
what anger me more is when we look to others males near his own age(not only here but in others animes) almost everyone act more "normal" than him like "being normal" is wrong and borin and you never gonna wins a girl, you must act extremely crazy, being a big pervert or a big shy otherwise no girls gonna look to you.
at last teach her about things like "girlfriend/dates/marriage"(at last marriage she must know since she have a mother) and basic things like that not gonna turn him in a pervert or molester or raper or make her hate him.

That's what I'm getting, I think.
I think Raul is fine. He's actually _better_ than a lot of harem protagonists by actually, y'know, acknowledging his attraction to her rather than being stupidly clueless. He's simply shy and kind of freaked out about her being the demon lord's daughter. Plus the fact she's so innocent.
He might make a move at some point. He obviously actually has feelings for her. But he's not going to be this uber-aggressive sweeping her away sort. It's not how he is.

ok again about girlfriend, not gonna hurt or lost a hand if him try to explain to her what means being a girlfriend than just shy and try to avoid the talk, she have a clueless dont care mind because she lived part of her life in the "hell"(or something like that since was in demons lord realm) then is normal for her being clueless about the "light side" of the life about what means being a "good person" the means of good feelings, love, treat people well. she lived in a realm where that things are distorted by making her believe which treat peoples bad is being "good", but now she learn the things and can learn pretty fast.
what i'm saying is who if him really is a hero and lived a "normal life" playing with others childrends and others things dont have any excuse for him to have that disturbing beahavious of being "too much shy with girls", the only way this can happen is if him lived in a place with no womans(even without a mother), a guy can't be pose of cool, intelligent, courageous then when comes to girl he just "regresses dramatically" to a state with dont have nothing to do with what he is supposed to be.
for the last time, i'm not saying which he must force her, must rape, he must dominate her or something like that, i want he act like he is "supposed to act".
a perfect exemple of harem mc much better than him is mahiro from nyaruko, he is in a situation very similar to him, having to deal with a person he was supposed to hate / fear that also bothers him sometimes, however he deals with the situation better than raul, even being a tsundere strong.
this is what i hate in many harem mcs that cliche archtypes of, chickening/coward, dense/clueless, or the too much good guy(i love that girl but i can't break the heart of the others girls even if just se then as friends or just attraction but heart belongs to only one girl, this is one of the worsts types)
basically i'm ask for a mc who if is a 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 or any age he actually act as this age and not act like a 8 years children, why when come to fight he can be mature but for girls he turn in a children, this my problem this "bipolar", if him is mature then he must be mature or at last not all that childish and shy/run/tramble everytime deal with womans, if him childish then fine he must be childish "who pretending or trying to be mature" and not to fight/protect peoples he is mature or can talk/act like mature and know about everything about world until a girl come close to him and he turn in a useless piece of trash.
i'm away who most mcs are like that exactly because this also help in build the harem(because keep the mc being a indecisive and throw as many girls the writer want but this make the guy looks like impossible to handle/absent type of person.
ps: like i aways keep saying this is how i see mcs of harem and the big reason who i hate harem, my top hated mc harem today is kodaka from boku wa tomodachi ga sukanai, he is for me the most worst of the worsts mc of all times.

After catching up with the new episodes my favorite so far is 4. Really liked the dynamic of Fino working in the convenience store and that allowed some interesting scenes with Nova (wow, she is laidback). Raul missed a great chance for skinship there.
5 was also fun with the whole undercover mission deal and Fino very determined to play the "girlfriend" role

A fun "date" between colleagues in episode 5. Of course, it's all in the name of undercover, but really, Ceara should know better than to randomly spout off stuff the innocent and child-like Fino would not understand. She does everything on a whim.
I was quite surprised with the animated appearance of Sphere near the end, and I thought they did quite well with that. I was like "Seriously, Sphere's animated inserts?!" Then I heard their voices and went, "Oh yeah, that's them all right."
I also had a good laugh with the poison swamp. Fino's silly antics are really integral to this show.

Fino's got the grasp of Lawson Station's work ethic and methodology, after many blunders and some advices from Lam. However, it can't be a coincidence that after Lam taught her how to use the oven, then Fino was able to use the oven and other appliances without things exploding on her every time she touches them. But, thanks to that, she overcame that annoying yet comical event.
BTW, no sexual harrassment in the work premises, Raul. You're very healthy, but you have to keep yourself composed and avoid embarrassing situations with Nova. Nevertheless, I can understand all the repressed tension, since you've been seeing Fino naked dozens of time first thing at the morning.

Want to know.
Do we have a broadcast with less censoring ?
Or even without the light beam, we don't saw a thing ? ^^

can happen of censure being keep(too keep safe for young watchers, or just being lazy cus their need redraw the bd/dvd version) or can avoid the censure and if not was drawed in anime then will be completed in dvd/bd.

Election season is also the time for county treasurers to try to recoup unpaid property taxes. When property taxes go unpaid, Illinois counties rely on outside buyers to pick up the tab.
Lee County Treasurer John Fritts says it's how his county stays afloat.
"The left hand has to take in all the real estate tax money. The right hand has to distribute it out. To finish up your tax year, you have a tax sale, and then we have a trustee who the county has employed to handle everything the tax buyers don't buy."
- Lee County Treasurer John Fritts
After the tax sale, property owners have 30 months to pay their overdue taxes with the interest. If they don't pay by then, the buyer gets the deed to the property.
WEB EXTRA: Frequently Asked Questions about Tax Sales in Illinois
Lawrence Bruckner travels to area tax auctions and places dozens of bids:
"I rationalize it in my mind because the county needs the money. Really, this is a stick to get everyone to pay their taxes. "
- Lawrence Bruckner
Crundwell Property Not Part of Sale
This sale did not include 4 properties belonging to former Dixon Comptroller Rita Crundwell. On the day of the sale, Fritts received a court order that he could not sell her property.
Duke Energy Pays Late
Fritts says the county has received payment from Duke Energy, which owns a electrical generation plant in Dixon. In October, the company asked the county to waive interest fees on the money it owed in late property taxes. Several Lee County board members were critical of the request.
How is a Tax Sale Conducted?
- The sale is similar to a reverse auction.
- Registered tax buyers bid a percentage rate with a maximum of 18%.
- Succeeding bids offer a lower interest rate.
- The tax buyer offers the lowest bid to win.
- The homeowner/property owner has a period of 30 months to redeem (buy back) their taxes.
- Registered tax buyers make a profit from the interest earned.
- The interest earned depends on the length of time it takes for homeowners/property owners to redeem their taxes.
