I believe that we're in for some interesting times and no one, even Orthodox, will be completely immune. Of course, the Church will not change. As far as Protestantism is concerned, I see a time when many will be looking towards the past, towards continuity and structure while other aspects will fracture even further. I pray that they all come home to Eastern Orthodoxy and that the so-called Prosperity Gospel fades into a mere footnote.
I know around my area people are really getting sick of the baptists and are moving to very high church or very low church.Our local parish has grown alot in the last 3 years, as have the RC parishes. The prosperity gospel and non-denomination churches spring up, get tons of cash, then disappear in 5 years.
Take a breath, read Ecclesiastes 1:9.
From a realistic perspective, I would be elated if America sees increased conversions from protestantism to Roman Catholicism. That will at least change the way the country sees the Bible and tradition.

Flesh-eating disease patient to leave hospital
A Georgia woman battling a rare, flesh-eating disease is preparing to be released from the hospital after nearly two months.
Aimee Copeland's father told The Associated Press on Tuesday his 24-year-old daughter plans to transfer Monday from Doctors Hospital in Augusta to an inpatient rehabilitation center. Andy Copeland says she will spend several weeks there learning to move herself after having her left leg, right foot and both hands amputated.
The graduate student at the University of West Georgia contracted the rare infection after she suffered a deep cut falling from a broken zip-line May 1.
Her father says Copeland is "real excited about leaving" the hospital and "just wants a change of venue." He declined to say where she's going for her rehabilitation therapy.

Fairway And AWI Raise Money To Help Military FamiliesApril 11, 2018 11:46 am
The American Warrior Initiative (AWI) partnered with a Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation branch in Park City, Utah to raise money to help U.S. military families. Along with a donation, a residential housing "Boot Camp" was held to train real estate professionals and mortgage planners on how to handle with excellence the home purchase needs of active duty military and veterans.
AWI and Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation raised $15,000 for this event, which will cover the cost for six military families to attend a two-week Post Traumatic Stress Wellness Treatment and Retreat at the National Ability Center.
Located in Park City, Utah, the National Ability Center empowers individuals of all abilities by building self-esteem, confidence and lifetime skills through sports, recreation and educational programs. The National Ability Center serves 5,500 unique individuals through more than 35,000 experiences each year. Approximately 1,500 of those individuals are transitioning military service members and their families. For more information about the National Ability Center, click here.
Founded by Louise Thaxton and Sean Parnell, the American Warrior Initiative is a non-profit organization sponsored by Fairway Independent Mortgage. The AWI seeks to ease U.S. veterans' transition from military to civilian life.
I am proud to work for a company that does so much to honor those who sacrifice for our country. If I can help answer any questions about VA loans or any other home loan options, give me a call.Veterans

Dear Mr. Mendell:
I am thoroughly enjoying – in the few days preceding the election – reading your first-rate work on Barack Obama, one which nicely complements his own books, which I read at the beginning of the campaign.
One thing you may wish to communicate to Senator (and, hopefully, President-elect beginning this coming week): the quote that he says is his favorite MLK quote(page 227 of the paperback edition of your book), and is also one of my favorites from any source), "the arc of the moral universe is long, But it bends toward justice," is not MLK's. Rather, it is that of the nineteenth century abolitionist Theodore Parker (for corroboration, see Arc of Justice: A Saga of Race, Civil Rights, and Murder in the Jazz Age. by Kevin Boyle, concerning the 1925 Ossian Sweet case Detroit, which won a 2004 National Book Award).
Sincerely yours,
Rick Nagel
Mercer Island, WA

Hi Mr. Mendell,
Thanks for your biography of President-Elect Barack Obama. You provide an outsider's perspective of Barack & Michelle's relationship, which makes me admire them even more for the love & respect they have for one another. Since I read both of President Obama's books, I have been searching for more writings about this extraordinary man & family. Do you plan to publish a book about the 2008 Presidential elections? I would be interested in reading about your experience.

Just finished your book. I really enjoyed it, interesting and readable. I live in Chicago and I'm very frustated with Mayor Daley and Alderman Tunney who just goes along with the Mayor (parking meter deal, Olympics).
I was impressed with Inspector General Hoffman with how he stood up to Mayor Daley with the report. Inspector Hoffman is supported by Fitzgerald which is great. I'm interested in learning more about Fitzgerald and I think he sets a great example.
Any thoughts on these issues? Are you working on anything now?

At the request of the county ABC board, commissioners will consider Wednesday whether to fund a $9,000 study looking at the feasibility of a sixth county liquor store. But at least a couple commissioners are wary of the idea.
At the request of the county ABC board, commissioners will consider Wednesday whether to fund a $9,000 study looking at the feasibility of a sixth county liquor store. But at least a couple commissioners are wary of the idea.
"I've got problems with that," said Commissioner Larry Young. "Because I'd thought we put people on that (ABC) board that would have some sense of where, how and when we'd locate a whiskey store. This paying for studies, I'm not into that."
Asheville consultant Dennie Martin of Martin-McGill originally presented the ABC Board with a $38,000 proposal that included a study of untapped liquor markets, best potential store locations and a business plan, including staffing and operational needs.
Asked by the ABC board to narrow his focus, Martin brought back a revised proposal to examine two basic questions: Where is the unmet need for a liquor store in the county, and what unincorporated area would provide the best location for a store? That study would cost $9,000.
But Young and Commissioner Grady Hawkins said they trust the ABC board's judgment on those decisions and questioned the need to spend tax dollars on a consultant.
"I like Martin-McGill, but you can't tell me that (ABC board members) Beau Waddell and George Erwin and Rick Livingston and the board of commissioners — do they think they know more than all these people who live here?" Young said. "It's just saying we want somebody else to take responsibility for what needs to be done."
Hawkins also has faith in the ABC board, saying, "I would trust their judgment on that sort of information as much as I'd trust the judgment of another study group. I don't know that what they'd come up with would be any more valid than what the ABC board would come up with."
There may be a need for a sixth county package store in the future, Hawkins added, "but I wouldn't feel real confident at this point that this is the time for the county to get into the ABC business. The municipalities pretty much have the field covered and I think people can get what they need at those locations."
Hendersonville's ABC Board operates three stores, while Laurel Park and Fletcher's boards each run one. During joint meetings over the winter, those ABC boards told the county board they didn't think there was enough demand to support a sixth store without hurting existing ones.
But the message from county voters during a referendum last May is that they want more options to buy liquor countywide, said ABC Board Chairman Beau Waddell.
"There's five stores now and we're a county of 100,000," said Waddell. "Knowing a little bit about the retail business, I personally think we could support at least one more store, depending on where we put it."
He said $9,000 is a relatively small price to pay to find out if consumer demand merits a new ABC store and, if so, where it should go. Erwin agreed the proposed study is a wise investment, saying the study is part of being "good stewards of tax dollars."
"When you've got three other ABC boards saying they don't think the county can support another ABC store, but there are good potential locations out there, to me, you're better off spending $9,000 to see if there truly is a need than go off half-cocked and put in a million-dollar store that fails," Erwin said.
Commission Vice Chair Tommy Thompson said Wednesday he supports the study for that very reason.
"At the present time, I've not seen, nor has anyone proven to me, that we need another ABC store," he said. "So I will probably vote for the (study) because it will help me make up my mind. I'd much rather spend $9,000... than put several hundreds of thousands into stock and rent and then see that store be unsuccessful."
Chairman Charlie Messer said he has mixed feelings about the consultant's study. He praised Martin-McGill as trustworthy and accurate, but wondered whether there is enough demand now for the county to venture into the liquor business.
"Basically, you're taking the revenues that come in from the ABC purchases and you're cutting it into smaller pieces," he said.
On the other hand, Messer said predicted growth in Mills River and Etowah-Horse Shoe could make those prime locations for another ABC store in the future. But he also knows businessmen interested in filling that void if the state eventually privatizes liquor sales.
"I could go either way," Messer said of the proposed study.

It was the best of distilleries, it was the worst of distilleries. Bowmore is a legendary Islay distillery known for putting out some extraordinary single malts. The Black Bowmore is a deservedly legendary dram, blending sherry and peat so intensely that hardly any other similarly profiled whisky can compare. I recently was at a Bowmore tasting and marveled at the richness of the 30 year old Sea Dragon and some lovely independent bottlings. These Bowmores are about balance, between peat and sherry, fruit and smoke.
But there is another Bowmore, a darker, evil twin that tastes like cheap perfume. Bowmores produced in the 1980s in particular seem to have this heavily perfumed quality. Now, I freely admit that I may be oversensitive to this particular taste, but I just can't stand it. I can smell it a mile away, and I've even been able to detect it in blends. Now I've heard that they've changed practices such that they don't end up with that flavor profile anymore, but if there is any left in casks anywhere, please someone destroy it.
I also recently tasted an old 21 year old, as part of the tasting described above that included the Sea Dragon, that carried aromas of rotting food, which some described as corpse-like.
How can one distillery produce both some of the most exceptional malts but also some of the worst? Buying Bowmore is like a combination of the lottery and Russian Roulette. When you win, you win big, but when you lose, you really lose.
This ends our series of the world's worst whiskey. It's interesting to note that all of my worst whiskey choices were single malts, and two of the three were Scotches. That's not to say there aren't bad whiskeys from other parts, but these were the most interesting bad whiskeys I came across.
After a good palate cleanser, it's time to get back to the good stuff, and I mean the really good stuff! Tune in next week.

The North's Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said this week that the new tourism drive to attract the Irish Diaspora to visit Ireland in 2013 should be expanded to encourage those with Ulster Scots roots to also make the trip.
According to the Irish Independent some unionists have rejected calls for the Dublin government-endorsed 'The Gathering' tourism drive to be promoted by the Northern Ireland Executive.
The unionist politicians claimed that the initiative was 'too green and relied too heavily on images of leprechauns and donkeys.'
Responding to their concerns the Deputy First Minister told the Northern Assembly that the 2013 initiative should still be considered by Executive ministers, as long as it reflects all traditions. McGuinness added that he understood unionist concerns about the campaign.
'If there was some opportunity to expand the whole concept of The Gathering in a way that would see the Ulster Scots people of North America included for example and indeed many others in different parts of the world, be it in Australia, Canada or elsewhere, I think that's something that's absolutely worthy of consideration,' he said.
'I think what we have to do is recognise that whenever this project was first mooted I think it is understandable that there may have been some concern among some of our colleagues in this Assembly about how that would be used.'
McGuinness added that it was 'hugely important' to gain mutual benefit out of tourist initiatives.
'I like to approach these things in a way that sees us gain mutual benefit for all of us but to do it in a way that everybody's comfortable with,' he said.
'And I think if we were to consider the prospect that the whole concept of The Gathering could be expanded then of course this is something I would have to discuss with ministerial colleagues and seek their support for, and if that could be done in a way that's inclusive, that everybody is comfortable with, then I think it's certainly worthy of consideration.'

The Crusade is riveting Who that you should make time to watch. It's Episode 14 from the second season of the First Doctor, and a four-parter. It's on the "Lost in Time" Hartnell collection, and two of the four episodes exist in audio format only, though its easy to find the many stills stitched together in order to accompany a listen in various place online. The Crusade deserves your precious time for four reasons:
1. Character driven, actor-fueled high intrigue from start to finish. The storylines in The Crusade are bookended by two acting greats representing mortal enemies, Julian Glover as Richard, and Bernard Kay as Saladin. Just over one minute in, Julian Glover's sonorous tones seize our attention. He was only thirty years old at the time, and the same commanding presence he's reliably been since. The perfect choice for Richard, Coeur de Lion, or Melek-ric, as the Saracens called him. (Note that fourteen years later he appears as Scaroth with the Fourth Doctor in Douglas Adams' The City of Death.) Interestingly, Julian Glover notes in the commentary to Episode 3 that he was hired for The Crusade just after having completed the 1960 television serial, "An Age of Kings," which was director Peter Dews' BAFTA-winning soap-opera style rendering of Shakespeare's history plays. Douglas Camfield saw Glover in Age of Kings, and wanted talent like Glover and Jean Marsh in Who. A wise casting decision.
Saladin sees less screen time than Richard, but one wants more, given Kay's superb, thoughtful and humanizing performance. He already proved his mettle as resistance fighter Carl Tyler, one of the standouts in The Dalek Invasion of Earth, and here returns in a more substantial role. More on his stellar performance below.
Apart from Glover and Kay, the acting is solid in Crusade: Jacqueline Hill is luminous. (Saladin says, "her beauty lights the room": and it's accurate–Hill is especially good here–vibrant, assertive, demonstrating how indispensable she is to these early episodes' success). Jean Marsh (later cast as Sara Kingdom in The Daleks' Master Plan) is great in a significant part, playing Richard's headstrong and politically cunning sister, Lady Joanna. Smaller but equally memorable parts include the duplicitous merchant Luigi Ferrigo (Gabor Baraker), and the colorful Bazaar shopkeeper Ben Daheer (Reg Pritchard). The latter shines in a small role with delicious Simon Fisher-Becker-like bigness (of stage presence, not girth!). With few exceptions, nearly every role in The Crusade is linked to the complex web of illegal schemes or political maneuvering to curry favor with one of the warring sides. This complexity is a triumph of early Who writing.
2. It all begins with swashbuckling action. It throws the viewer instantly into the mix–there aren't epic battles fought on-screen, but The Crusade hooks you immediately, outlining the greater war being fought. In the first moments, not one but two simultaneous swordfights break out involving the Doctor and Ian both on the defense. Barbara disappears, taken captive. And they realize they've stumbled into something big: the Doctor hears the Saracen name for King Richard, "Melek-ric." (This stuff thrills me, and it's great for hooking kids and adults alike on history (and science)–it starts those wonderful conversations, which Classic Who was so good at starting.)
They learn they're in the woods outside Jaffa in the Holy Land. Barbara is a prisoner of Saladin, the Sultan of Egypt and Syria. All this in the first ten minutes. If this is what Who was aspiring to with "the historicals," I want in–bring it on. Fantastic job bringing the viewer into the action. A little slow in the beginning of Episode 4, with the dual imprisonment of Barbara and Ian and some languid dialog, particularly the hokey accent and scheme of Ian's captor. You'll wince at the repeated (but not necessarily inaccurate) caricature of a middle Easterner intoning those "you are my truly, truly brother" lines; but that's quickly resolved, and it's the exception to the rule of complexity and great writing in this four-parter.
3. Fantastic writing, every bit as good as (better than?) Moffat's Nu-Who Scripts. David Whitaker is the writer here, and my new fave Dennis Spooner is the script editor. The Crusade is a spectacle of pacing and wonderful writing, proving Whitaker every bit as able to write captivating scenes as did Spooner in The Romans. For one example, the meeting between the Doctor and Ben Daheer, at 13 minutes into Episode One, and the following scenes, are emblematic of the rich comic turn Who took, as I've argued earlier, after The Romans. Watch how the subplot is revisited in Episode 2 to great comic effect. For a second example, see (approximately 20 minutes into the first episode) the quick-paced questioning of Barbara by Saladin and his brother, and her beautifully nuanced and timed responses:
Saladin: You rode into the woods?
Barbara: No.
Saphadin: You walked into it?
Barbara: Not that either.
Saladin: You arrived?
Barbara: Yes. In a box.
Saphadin: In a box? Ah, you were carried into the woods.
Barbara: Yes.
Hill's acting sells the scene. Watch Hill's delightful expression after that final "Yes." Anyone that blames Who for bad acting or writing hasn't paid attention. This scene immediately reminds one of the tightly written, and equally well acted, parley between Alex Kingston and Matt Smith in The Big Bang:
Doctor: Are you married, River?
River: Are you asking?
Doctor: Yes.
River: No.
Doctor: Hang on. Did you think I was asking you to marry me, or asking if you were married?
River: Yes.
Continue to watch past Barbara's "Yes," and the scene facilely segues from comedy to discussion of life and death matters. It works. And it's followed by another fantastic scene involving the rest of the TARDIS crew and Julian Glover's King Richard, furious at the loss of his friends and refusing to help the Doctor and companions save Barbara from death. That's just the first episode. So well written is The Crusade wordplay throughout that, like The Romans and The Big Bang–it's pure joy to watch. It's about the characters. Thus, of course, this is Who at its finest. For the opposite end of the spectrum, see my assessment of The Web Planet.
Another choice example of the stellar writing is in Episode 2, at 17:00, where another three-actor scene unfolds, "Who's on first" style, as the Doctor is blamed by the Bazaar shopkeeper Ben Daheer for stealing clothes. Reg Pritchard as Daheer, here as in his first appearance in Episode 1, nearly steals the scene. It's great writing, a humorous, conniving addition to the plot, and a well-used opportunity to provide some clever moments to Hartnell's Doctor (not to mention the moral questions it poses: is it morally acceptable for the Doctor to have stolen items, for his personal use, from a thief?).
Whitaker uses Richard's play for peace with Saladin as the basis for the most compelling scenes involving the serial's bookend historical figures Richard and Saladin. The two never actually meet, but are always talking about each other. The writing for Glover particularly shines. See, for example, at 4:20 in Episode Two, as Richard laments how his sister receives jewels from Saladin's brother, while both sides "armies do we both lock in deadly combat, watering the land with a rain of blood, and the noise of thunder is drowned in the shouts of dying men." It's Shakespearean. Richard is one of British history's most romanticized Kings, so Whitaker's willingness to forward the most noble reading of this episode, should be unsurprising–but it's passionate, wonderful stuff all the same. Particularly satisfying, and a nod to what Who later becomes–where the Doctor "knows everybody that is anybody"–King Richard takes an immediate shine to the Doctor. Also notable, in Episode Two: "We dub you Sir Ian, Knight of Jaffa. Arise Sir Ian, and be valiant."
The realpolitik wisdom-versus-ambition dialog at 13:00 in Episode 3 between Saphadin and Saladin, likewise, is tremendous; Bernard Kay's Saladin, his expressive, haunted face, and his considered delivery of each line, conjures up the young Paul Scofield the following year in Man for All Seasons (1966). And at the beginning of Episode 4, the scene with Leicester, Richard, the Doctor, and Vicki is edge of the seat intrigue, particularly beginning at 6:12, where Richard admits to the Doctor and Vicki the political maneuvering required to keep the loyalty of men like Leicester, and maintain the support of the Church in Rome. The dialogue again is Shakespearean, directly conveying the dilemmas and court tensions faced by the king. Vicki despairs after Richard departs: "Can't we tell" Richard that his campaign is doomed to failure? No, "history must take its course," replies the Doctor. Whatever license Whitaker takes romanticizing Richard's intentions, The Crusades remains satisfyingly a gripping "historical."
4. Strong female roles. Finally, focusing on Richard's play for a marriage-driven end to the Crusades allows not only for a broad portrayal of Richard, but also an assertive role for Jean Marsh. Richard wants to use Joanna as a bargaining chip to secure an alliance and peace. Richard dictates a letter through his scribe proposing an alliance with Saladin, promising to deliver Lady Joanna to Saladin's brother Saphadin for marriage. Richard hopes this will secure the peace, making Richard and Saladin brothers. Joanna, though, will not be used. The Episode 3 scene where she confronts and threatens Richard, and where Richard accuses the Doctor of having leaked the plan to Joanna, is pure fireworks.
Likewise, demonstrating the evenhandedness that Whitaker applies to both sides of the conflict, Barbara's capture by Saladin's men, and faked rescue by El Akir, allows Whitaker to humanize Saladin. And Barbara is no potted plant, attempting three escapes. She's given shelter by Haroun ed-Din (George Little), and if we didn't already know El Akir was bad, we find that he kidnapped Haroun's oldest daughter, killed his wife and son, and burned his house; the stakes are raised, as Barbara's rescuer announces that he has vowed to kill the Emir El Akir. Haroun insists that Barbara must kill his younger daughter, then herself, if El Akir finds them. But, Barbara refuses–making good on the humanitarian instinct that failed her in The Aztecs, and despite the Doctor's advice to not interfere with local customs. When El Akir's men capture her, Barbara finds herself imprisoned along with Haroun's oldest daughter in El Akir's harem. Here, she tries, unsuccessfully, to escape the second time. While Barbara's role is weaker than Joanna's, she still makes her mark: she orchestrates an escape for Haroun's younger daughter, giving herself up to El Akir's men.
So while the scope of each of Joanna's and Barbara's roles are somewhat constrained by the story, neither of them "accept their fate." Both woman are used as pawns, and neither accepts it. That's refreshing to see, and very modern, particularly in a 1960's period piece about the twelfth-century Crusades.
The Crusades is a fine and worthy successor to The Romans. Acquit!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Despite double-digit scoring performances from Clara Yuan, Jamie Simmons, and Sally Simpson, the MIT women's basketball team fell to NEWMAC foe Wellesley College, 98-56, on Wednesday. Yuan tallied 17 points and two steals as Simmons posted 13 points, four assists, and four rebounds. Coming off the bench, Simpson registered 10 points, four boards, and two steals while Kristen Whaley grabbed four rebounds. Alice Yeh chipped in eight points while Cheryl Kwinn collected a team-high seven caroms.
The Blue opened the scoring with a layup on the game's first possession. The Engineers (4-8, 0-2 NEWMAC) quickly went ahead on a three-pointer from Simmons. Wellesley regained the lead and maintained a slight margin, as a jumper by Simmons made the score, 10-7, at the 16:53 mark.
The Blue countered with a game-changing run during the next seven minutes that pushed its margin to 27, but MIT ended its scoring drought with a trey by Yeh and a three-point play from Yuan. Although the hosts held a commanding advantage, the Engineers continued to attack and narrowed the gap to 51-34 at the break.
As a response to the Cardinal and Gray's late first-half run, Wellesley tallied seven unanswered points to kick off the second frame. Yeh provided MIT with its first bucket of the stanza, but it would not be enough to stop the Blue's momentum as it cruised to the victory.

In fact, screened patients had a slightly higher prostate cancer mortality: 3.7 per 10,000 person-years, versus 3.4 for unscreened men.
The results emphasize the need to find some means to identify patients who are most likely to benefit from PSA screening, said the first author of a report in the January issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
"Routine mass screening of the population, purely on the basis of a man's age, is not going to be an effective way of reducing his chance of dying of prostate cancer," Gerald Andriole, MD, of Washington University in St. Louis, told MedPage Today.
"Having said that, that's not to say that no man should get PSA testing," he continued. "There are subsets of men in the population at large who do seem to stand a good chance of benefiting from PSA testing.
"Those are men who are young, with no comorbidities, and generally very healthy. These are men with the longest life expectancy overall. They are men who, even if they harbor a nonaggressive, slow-growing cancer, are nonetheless expected to live long enough to die of prostate cancer in the absence of it being identified and treated."
Screening also is reasonable for men who have an above-average risk of prostate cancer, such as African Americans and men with a strong family history of the disease, Andriole added.
The data 0ffered nothing to change the conclusions of an earlier analysis of data from the same study, the National Institutes of Health-sponsored Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) screening program. After a median follow-up of seven years (up to as long as 10 years) the screened and unscreened groups had a similar prostate cancer mortality.
The prostate cancer portion of PLCO involved 76,685 men who were ages 55 to 74 and cancer-free at enrollment. Study participants were randomized to annual PSA screening for six years or to usual care, which sometimes included "opportunistic" PSA screening.
The initial report from the study showed a prostate cancer rate of 116 per 10,000 in the screened group compared with 95 per 10,000 in the control group. Prostate cancer mortality was 2 per 10,000 with screening and 1.7 per 10,000 in the control group.
The current report showed that after a median follow-up of 13 years, cancer incidence was 108.4 and 97.1 per 10,000 in the screened and unscreened groups, respectively. The difference represented a statistically significant 12% increase in cancer incidence in the screened group (RR 1.12, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.17).
Mortality was 3.7 and 3.4 per 10,000 with and without screening, respectively, a nonsignificant difference.
"This article updates with more person-years of follow-up our previously reported finding of no reduction in mortality from prostate cancer in the intervention arm compared with the control arm to 10 years, with no indication of a reduction in prostate cancer mortality to 13 years," the authors wrote of their findings.
Responding to the study, Otis W. Brawley, MD, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society, acknowledged that the results are consistent with other studies that have pointed to a potential harm from overscreening and unnecessary treatment of indolent prostate cancer.
"This trial does suggest that if there is truly an advantage to mass [PSA] screening it is small," Brawley said in a statement.
Even so, the results do not rule out the possibility of a benefit in some high-risk men or the value of PSA screening in men who want the test, he added.
"I truly believe that a man who is concerned about prostate cancer and understands that experts are not certain that screening saves lives, but it definitely causes anxiety and needless treatment, can reasonably choose to be screened," said Brawley.
"A man who is more concerned with unnecessary diagnosis and treatment might reasonably choose not to be screened. It is an area that needs to be left to an informed patient."
The PLCO trial is sponsored by the National Institutes of Health.
Andriole disclosed relationships with Amgen, Augmenix, Bayer, Cambridge Endo, Caris, France Foundation, GenProbe, GlaxoSmithKline, Myriad Genetics, Steba Biotech, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, and Viking Medical. Co-authors disclosed relationships with GlaxoSmithKline and Human Genome Sciences.

Celebrating Five Years of Marital Bliss
Today Mr. Assmuppet and I are celebrating five years of marital bliss.
"But wait!" I hear you say. "You've been married far longer than five years!"
"Yes, we have," I reply politely, as I am always polite even when you make totally asswanked comments like that.
We've been together fourteen years almost to the day. I don't recall the date we first met but it was around this time of year, give or take a week. We met online and it was a long complicated thingie during which we both almost ran, seeing I was married to someone else at the time.
My first marriage was on the rocks. The first time we had mentioned divorce was two years prior to my encountering Mr. Assmuppet. Hubby #1 and I were all wrong for each other, but we just LIKED each other so much ... we were basically maintaining but we both knew it was only a matter of time. I, however, certainly wasn't looking for anyone. Because marriage sucked and I wanted nothing to do with it.
Mr. Assmuppet and I first met in person on December 26, 1996. Somehow he talked me into driving down there the day after Xmoose.
He had also talked me into proposing to him. We were talking online one night and he said something along the lines of "well, now we're brave enough to say the L word, you do know that if this works out I'm going to want to say the M word too." I said "What, do you want to get married?" And then he said "Yes, I accept."
I said "no no no, YOU have to propose to ME," and he said "why would I? You just proposed to me and I accepted."
I didn't know what he looked like. He had sent me one picture and it was fuzzy and I had a totally crap monitor so really even if it had been a good picture I wouldn't have had a clue.
I should have known at this point that it was going to be nothing but trouble, and yet I made plans to go see him. I sort of felt that I had to, seeing that we were engaged and all.
I was a fairly new driver. I didn't get my license until I was 33. There was no reason to do so; I lived in the city, parking was scarce and public transit was plentiful.
I got my license after my best friend died of AIDS in 1995 ... I regretted so badly not being able to take him out and about. Towards the end it was so hard for him to get anywhere, and I wished time after time that I had a car.
Anyhow, after Martin died, I swore I was never going to be in that position again, so I went and got my license and got me a Toyota Corolla. She kicked ass, and her name was Smedley. Yes, I know that's a boy's name and she was a girl but it was her choice and she served me well for many years.
So ... I had agreed to go and spend two or three days with this man in Tacoma, Washington. I got in the car on the morning of December 26th and started driving south. By the time I hit Seattle, even if I had changed my mind, the snow was so bad that there was no way I could have turned back.
They'd closed the highway behind me.
When I got to Tacoma ... well ... um ... (and anyone who's been reading me for any length of time could see this coming) ... I got lost.
I sort of thought I took the right exit but I was a newish driver and there was snow and I was in a strange country and who knew that right and left weren't the same thing and bla bla bla.
Fortunately I had a cellphone and I called. He answered and assumed that I was calling from Canada to say I couldn't get there because of the weather. Instead I was calling from outside of some strange chicken barbecue restaurant SOMEwhere in Tacoma saying I couldn't get back home so he'd have to tell me how to get there.
It took about another hour, and a couple of phone calls and a lot of sliding about on roads and some white knuckles but then I got there.
And, you know what? He was sort of a jerk.
I thought he didn't like me. He thought I didn't like him. We were snowed in and I couldn't get back home and had to stay for six days instead of the two or three that we'd planned.
And during that time ... well, it sort of worked out.
If I'd been able to leave after two days, we wouldn't be married right now, because it took him longer than that to start acting sort of normal and like he was happy I was there.
Boys are dumb.
I might have been a little dumb too.
And after I got home we talked every night online and we phoned and I visited and bla bla bla
I drove there almost every Friday night and back every Sunday for two years.
Eventually he moved to Canada and came to live with me and after a huge amount of paperwork, money, trials and tribulations we got hitched.
12 years ago today.
And so yes, it's our anniversary, but we're not celebrating 12 years of marital bliss, or at least I'm not.
Ben and I are both difficult people (you! In the back! The one who is gasping with almost-believable astonishment that I might be difficult ... shut up.)
At times our relationship has been utter goat-raping, bleach-swilling, assmangling hell.
And, like all marriages, at times it's been really fucking boring ... totally normal, nothing to report ... I bought a newspaper, he made toast and ate it, bla bla bla.
A lot of the time it's been "good" but not "bliss".
I figure, mathematically, out of the last 12 years, five of them have been bliss.
And that's a pretty good percentage, really.
Please join us in celebrating all of those twelve years, including the five of bliss.

Many heartfelt wishes for your continued happiness! It is so refreshing to hear someone admit marriage is not always peachy. So here is to the peach years and the funny smelling green stuff in the back of the fridge years too.

Yay!! Congrats. I know how hard that is- and I know how valuable it is. Please tell me you guys are getting drunk tonight!! (and it makes a great story, btw)
Congratulations on your blissful five, and the good, boring rest of it.. plus may your times of "utter goat-raping, bleach-swilling, assmangling hell" be very few.
Happy and Congratulations and like that!
Reminds me of the time my sister saw one of those little florist cards on my refrigerator. It was from my husband and it said "thank you for 13 wonderful years" or something like that. She studied it for a while and then said, "but haven't you been married for longer than that?"
Ah ha ha!

Ah ha ha!
I love your calculations -- you've got that nailed, I think. And in the end, five years of bliss is nothing to sneeze at, especially once you've worked through all the rest of it to get to that bliss. Congratulations :)
Brilliant! I love it! My favourite 'how we met' story ever. Even though my internet-turned-facetoface romance didn't get anywhere near 5 years of bliss, I still like to hear that other people's did!
Thanks for sharing these personal bits with us, Ms. Bunny. There's a stranding-snow-storm and a Toyota Corolla in my romantic history too (although not in the same episode), so I really enjoyed hearing about yours. You and Mr. Ben Rabbit keep up the good work. The bliss isn't over yet, I'm sure.
Happy Anniversary sugar tits! I wish you two many more years of bliss and the rest that has to come with it.
You're all sorts of awesome.
You're all sorts of awesome.
A lot of people I know can't even claim that kind of bliss percentage. Congratulations to both of you.
Were you having your 5 years of bliss concurrent with Ben's five years of bliss?
Were you having your 5 years of bliss concurrent with Ben's five years of bliss?
Rabbitch, congratulations. Wishing you much joy ahead. I think I'll stick to childless singlehood myself. Regards, Sara.
belated congrats on the blissful 5/12ths! that's about 4.5 12ths more than i managed in 12 years w/the x (technically 15 yrs -- 1 yr of cohabitation, 12 yrs of married-and-together, 2 years of his stalling a divorce that shoulda taken 2 months.)Post a Comment
may the next 12 have more than 5 years of bliss!
may the next 12 have more than 5 years of bliss!

Siberian Husky
The Siberian Husky (Russian: Сибирский хаски) is a medium size working dog breed that originated in north-eastern Siberia, Russia. The breed belongs to the Spitz genetic family. It is recognizable by its thickly furred double coat, erect triangular ears, and distinctive markings.
The original Siberian Huskies were bred by the Chukchi people — whose hunter-gatherer culture relied on their help. It is an active, energetic, resilient breed, whose ancestors lived in the extremely cold and harsh environment of the Siberian Arctic. William Goosak, a Russian fur trader, introduced them to Nome, Alaska during the Nome Gold Rush, initially as sled dogs. The people of Nome referred to Siberian Huskies as "Siberian Rats" due to their size of 40–50 lb (18–23 kg), versus the Malamute size of 75–85 lb (34–39 kg).

plus i will lock in my rate
Like eveyrone else im shooting to be at the top of my class...but lets be realistic....
Allot of people swear by LEEWS so i figured i could buy a used set from amazon..
I definitely enjoyed the book but feel it was pretty over dramatic. I am a lot more laid back about things though. There is not that competitive culture at my T4, either. I can relate to his inner struggles though, that stuff is real, the first months are crazy just trying to figure out how to play the game. I stuggle with my own concepts of sucess and failure and all that so I was able to relate to some of that he talked about. Most of the people at my school are far more laid back than I am however and I generally feel that about half my class doesn't take the law school thing very seriously at all.

text: In Russia of the post-WWII era, aging doctor Nicolai (Sergey Makovetsky) returns to an old, abandoned hotel outside of Liepzig, Germany, the place where he first met his great love 50 years ago, and relives his romantic tragedy. The hotel still bears the traces of its impressive past. As a young medical student travelling from Moscow en route to Paris, young Nicolai (Leonid Bichevin) meets and falls in love with the beautiful courtesan Elise (Sylvia Hoeks) at the hotel, which is also a brothel. Nicolai prolongs his stay, despite Elise's friend Nina's (Renata Litvinova) discouragement. After a few days, it becomes obvious that their love is doomed, and he is forced to depart: Elise "belongs" to the old Count (Dieter Hallervorden), who also owns the hotel. Five years later upon Nicolai's return to the hotel on his was back to Moscow, the Count takes violent measures. Elise makes a choice for the young Nicolai and the Count stops his payments to her. Her debts mean Elise, who has also fallen ill, cannot leave the hotel with Nicolai. Elise asks Nicolai to leave alone, but he refuses. She then pretends to reverse her choice, and returns to the Count. Enraged, Nicolai leaves for Moscow. Some years later, a now wealthy Nicolai returns to the hotel to take revenge on his rival. Nicolai snubs Elise and returns for good to Moscow. Elise, desperately alone and ill, remains in the empty hotel, which is closed down following the Count's death. 50 years later, old Nicolai receives a visit at his office in Moscow from old Nina (Svetlana Svetlichnaya). She brings him a book of Pushkin poems containing a handwritten message for Nicolai from Elise. Nicolai decides to return to the hotel forever to relive the tragedy that embodies the end of an era and the vibrant hopes and life of both its young couple and of a new world.

I'm going to dip back down to another basic mapping concept, only because it's come up a few times in the past week. I'll try to do something more complex next time.
When designing a map, there are only a few times when you should create a record without a tag.
Any records that do not have a tag, will read the next line of data into that record, regardless of what it is.
There are some situations with specialty maps, like document extraction maps, where you may want to do this, but in general, it's not the best of mapping practices.
The biggest offenders of being tagless, are temporary records. It's easy to forget to add the $$$ in, when you're testing a quick concept, to see if it works.
If data is not behaving like it should, or you're seeing data written out in places that you're not expecting it, chances are you have a tagless record.
Luckily, there are a couple easy ways to determine this, and find the culprit.
Run TXTrace, each product is different as to how to run TXTrace, so I won't go into the boring details here. If you need help, feel free to comment or googling it should result in a few good results.
The TXTrace log will show which lines of data are read into which records.
Print out the mapping report. If you choose File > Print to file, and select "Print record details", this will create a text file with… wait for it… the record details (shocking, I know ).
In addition to other information, this shows the record name and the tag:
Record HEADER* Tag HDR at 1 Conditional
You can do a search for the word Tag, and quickly go thru and see if any are blank (in most editors, F3 is your friend, it will just go to the next):
Record HEADER* Tag at 1 Conditional
If you find yourself in a situation where there just isn't a tag you can add, and you don't know how many records there are going to be, if any, there's a way around that.
For simplicity, we'll assume we have a data file with:
HDR <data>
<misc data>
<misc data>
<misc data>
SUM <data>
You want to define a Header record, a catch all record (that will have extended rules to do whatever with the data), and then a Summary record.
The problem with leaving off the tag for the 2nd record, is that the Summary line of data will be read into it as well. In this simplified example, it wouldn't be too bad to add additional rules, to check if it's a Summary and send the info to temps, but in real scenarios, you could have many records after it.
In this example, we want to tell the translator to read anything into the 2nd record EXECPT if it begins with SUM. If the 2nd record doesn't have a 3 character field that matches up with the positions of the SUM, you'll need to add one (remember, multiple fields can overlap, so even if there is already a field with say positions 1-10, you can add another for 1-3, just do NOT auto-position the record).
You'll then want to go to the properties of the 2nd record and choose the Key Field tab.
Here you can select the field that will match up with the positions for the SUM, and add a constant of SUM (or codelist, if there are multiple tags that could come after). The key thing here is, to make sure you check the box that says "Match record when key does not match".
This will do exactly what we need it to. It will read any line of data into the record except for when the field you specified matches the constant you specified.
That's it, pretty simple way around it. This will work for all of the current products…
If you're using Gentran Director, or Gentran Server, there's an alternative as well.
In those products, under the "Special" tab, for the record properties, there is an option to choose "Wildcard". This does basically the same thing as the "Match record when key does not match".
When Wildcard is selected, whatever is specified as the Tag for the record, will be what does NOT get read into the record. You can also fill out a 2nd tag in the "Alternate Tag" box, right next to the wildcard selection. In our example, you'd just put SUM in as the tag.
The only drawback to that, is anyone (or you looking at the map years from now) usually just check out the tag, most people don't normally switch to the Special tab, to see if it's a wildcard.
In either scenario, I like to add a quick note in the "description" of the record, so I remember it's not a normal record.
The next time you see your data showing up in the wrong spot or disappearing, you'll know right away to see if you're missing a tag, and it'll make your mapping life that much easier.
As always, any and all comments are welcome. Even a quick "thanks", to let us know that you found this somewhat useful, is appreciated!
Feel free to request any topics or ideas as well.
Thanks for reading!

Once a month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases its gauge on producer prices to little fanfare on Wall Street.
Continue Reading Below
Unlike the jobs report, home sales indexes or even Chinese manufacturing data, investors mostly yawn at the PPI. But that may soon be changing.
That's because for the first time since 1978 the government is set to launch a revamped version of the inflation gauge this week that will capture a much broader sampling of prices received by U.S. businesses.
"We think the new PPI release will increasingly become a market focus," Peter D'Antonio, head of U.S. economic forecasting at Citigroup (NYSE:C), wrote in a recent note to clients. "The idea is to create an index that fully represents prices that businesses receive throughout the entire economy. The new series will look nothing like the old one."
The previous version of the PPI index only measured the costs producers received for goods, which tend to be influenced more heavily by volatile commodity prices.
But under changes announced in 2011 by the BLS, the new series set to be unveiled on Wednesday will measure services, which represent a huge chunk of the U.S. economy. The PPI will also now factor in construction, government purchases and exports.
"It will be a better indication of what's actually flowing out to the consumer," said Russell Price, senior economist at Ameriprise Financial (NYSE:AMP). "It should take on a little more prominence within the minds of investors."
The BLS said the changes more than double the PPI coverage of the U.S. economy to over 75% of in-scope domestic production.
Michael Block, chief strategist at Rhino Trading Partners, said the inclusion of services pricing will "capture some supply/demand and elasticity dynamics that the previous measure did not."
"I, for one, will watch it. We will see if others, including the FOMC are watching too. I am not clear that they will," Block said.
The new PPI will likely see less month-to-month volatility due to the presence of services, which D'Antonio notes "by their nature show more muted price swings."
According to Citi, a three-year history provided by the BLS of the PPI metrics shows the new series has a standard deviation of just 0.2%, compared with 0.5% under the old format.
While the PPI did not traditionally move the markets dramatically, the changes could elevate the report to the level of the consumer price index, which measures prices that consumers pay for their products.
That may especially be true due to the fact that the PPI is released ahead of its more consumer-focused peer.
However, D'Antonio said investors should beware that the new PPI won't be any better at predicting the CPI and may actually be worse due to the lower weighting of goods prices.

I love this! Please vote for it in KoreAm's Kpop video remake contest!
Voting link: http://iamkoream.com/krazykpop/
—— Forwarded Message
From: Elena Chang

Subject: first queer korean remake of a kpop video
hello margaret cho & team !!!
My name is Elena, also a member of Q-Wave (queer women of asian descent for visibility & empowerment)
I contacted Margaret a few years back to have her come to Rutgers University for "Coming Out Day" but she was not able to make it bc of her fierce tour…
First off, I've been following Ms.Cho for quite some time, and just wanted to say how pleased I am to see such amazing growth throughout the years. I've also learned to channel my activism through the arts scene as an out Korean-American nyc actress and its inspiring to see how much she has put into showcasing acceptance and visibility on many different layers. With that said I am asking for your support on a project that I've been working on that means a lot to me as a queer artist.
There is a kpop phenomenon going on (or rather, Korean/Japanese music video obsession). Our queer take on Taeyang's "Wedding Dress" made it to the semi-finals in L.A. and has the potential to be selected and screened to be a part of a massive Asian-American Hollywood event. This would be the first ever queer Korean remake of Taeyang's "Wedding Dress". As progressive as the community has become, there's still a lot of work to be done and my goal is to reach audiences to challenge them to question the traditional notion of marriage and recognize that possibility for universal love through this m.v. I would sincerely love to have your support on this and wanted to know if it will be possible to feature the video on your site even for a day to help spread the word. Voting closes this Wednesday and my team is really imploring for our community to help get this queer take on a k-pop video re-make to represent at the ceremony. We are the only lgbt-themed submission in the finals, so it is extremely important for us to show folks that queer love stories CAN EXIST in modern day Asian pop videos. Unfortunately it's ultimately in the voting process in determining which videos make it to the top.
Here is some information: "a different kind of wedding dress" #3 Part of KOREAM MAGAZINE'S Krazy K-Pop Contest! here is the direct link to the voting page: http://www.iamkoream.com/krazykpop/ produced and directed by: elena chang & sam yim performed by: elena chang, sam yim, and jake choi director of photography/ editor: brian chamberlain Voting will end on November 17th at 6:00pm (PST). You may vote once every 12 hours. Voting ends Nov.17th, Wednesday, and any support would be MOST APPRECIATED!

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that the New York State Police Department will begin using social media in an effort to catch wanted suspects in Westchester County and across the state as part of "Warrant Wednesday."
The initiative began on Wednesday, Feb. 5. Photos were added to the NYSP Facebook page featuring posters of wanted persons with arrest or bench warrants from across New York State.
"New York State is using new and creative tools to help make our streets and neighborhoods safer," Cuomo said in a statement. "Social media's broad appeal can help the State Police track down those wanted in connection with crimes and bring them to justice."
Each "Warrant Wednesday" posting will include a poster of a wanted individual contributed by State Police Troops across the state. Each poster will include a photo, information about the subject, what they are wanted for, and a contact number for the appropriate State Police station. This will appear as a "photo album" on the State Police Facebook page.
Postings for "Warrant Wednesday" will also be posted to the NYSP Twitter account .

I was out running errands and can distinctly remember being freaked out that we were under attack. I just wanted to get all my kids and go home ad hide in the closet with them.
The worse thing imaginable to me would've been the thought of them scared without me around to comfort them. It put things into perspective.

HTC's 'Muse' music phone played out?
Rumours of death
HTC has knocked its 3G music phone, codenamed 'Muse', on the head, it has been alleged. The handset first surfaced in November 2005 as an HSDPA-equipped device with 4GB of built-in Flash memory for music storage.
Well, if the "whisper of information from an insider" heard by PocketPC Thoughts this week is anything more than a ruse, it looks like we won't get to see the device after all.
Last year, Muse was said to sport a 240 x 240, 65,536-colour display and a flash-fitted 2.1 megapixel main camera. It was said to contain integrated stereo speakers and an FM radio. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth were part of the spec too.
From the picture, it seemed likely that Muse was also a slider phone.
HTC never officially announced Muse, so it's entirely possible the handset was simply one of many designed but never brought to market. That said, rumours of its death may have been greatly exaggerated, so we'll reserve our judgement for now. ®

New "Sneak peek" video up in post #2!
The last time somebody didn't get an FF is... Jaymes and James if you consider somebody who went to the location and wanted to get it.The last time somebody didn't get an FF even after trying the task would be Joey and Danny. There are not a lot of instances of teams who tried the FF and didn't win it.

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
Onkyo presents TX-SA505, a 7.1-channel amplifier supporting Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DST, DTS-ES, AAC, Dolby NR Professional Logic IIx, and DTS 96/24 sound processors. It incorporate "Theater-Dimensional" technology which create 5.1-channel sound from only 2 speakers. Other features include 7×100W (6Ω), 24bit/192kHz (DAC), and Audyssey 2EQ that provides advanced precision on each speaker. Everything sounds great… but nothing's perfect. FYI, TX-SA505 Amp doesn't come with HDMI port… too bad…
Not sure if this is of any help, Onkyo seems to support AAC.
OK, that explains why there is no audio when playing theese 5.1 clips :http://www.h264info.com/clips.htmlI would also prefer option 2 Viking
