The grass really is greener on the other side of the fence in some places around the country. According to a Census Bureau report, U.S. household income inequality has grown by 18 percent since 1967, although this trend has slowed in recent years.
Wealth disparity is also proving to be a hot topic during the 2012 election year, with Republican candidate Mitt Romney igniting criticism that his high net worth puts him out of touch with average Americans while the Obama administration struggles with the politically charged debate over how the country's rich should be taxed.
Although the existence of wealth gaps is a major characteristic of the national economy, when income disparity is analyzed over smaller regions some areas show considerable drop-offs in wealth between places that sit side-by-side.
To get a sense of where these geographic income differences are the most extreme, CNBC.com analyzed Census data, using five-year estimates of average annual household income by county — the smallest granularity available — from the American Community Survey. We looked at the 200 counties with the highest average annual income and compared this metric to adjacent counties to see which had the largest relative difference in wealth. The final ranking number represents the size of this difference as a percentage of the poorer county's average annual income. This figure essentially shows the proportion that incomes in the poorer county would have to rise in order to be on par with its richer neighbor.
Counties with populations under 500 were omitted, as were counties with significant water boundaries, such as the country's richest county, Nantucket, which has an average annual household income of $137,811.
So, where are the biggest wealth gaps in the country? Click ahead for the list.

Apply for a Scholarship
Bauer College of Business 2018-2019 Scholarship Application is now available.
Click to apply for scholarships now:
Many, but not all, Bauer scholarships include FINANCIAL NEED as a selection criterion. Bauer students interested in being considered for these financial need-based scholarships must complete one of the following forms (in addition to the Bauer Scholarship Application) in order to establish financial need.
- U.S. citizens and permanent residents should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov
- International students should complete the Bauer Financial Aid Application for International Students. This form and its supporting documentation will be turned in to the Bauer Scholarship Office for evaluation.
This form is similar to the International Texas Public Education Grant (TPEG) application. If you would like to be considered for the TPEG, you will need to apply with the International Student Service and Scholars Office (ISSSO) at www.issso.uh.edu/finances/tpegisssoscholarship.html This application and the supporting documentation will then be turned in to ISSSO. Applications turned in to Bauer will not be considered for the TPEG.
Links for these forms are included on the scholarship application. If you link to these sites from the application, click BACK to return to the application and continue completing the form.
It is very important to remember that the Bauer Scholarship Application must be completed in order to be considered for Bauer scholarships. In addition, scholarships that require financial need will only be offered to those students who have also completed the appropriate form above.
During the 2017-2018 academic year, more than 600 Bauer College of Business students were awarded more than $3 million in Bauer scholarships. Awards range from $1,000 to $5,000.
Scholarships are awarded to students in every major and every classification and are usually awarded based on merit or financial need, or a combination of both. Scholarships go to all kinds of students - even students like you. You can review some of the scholarships and their criteria by clicking on Available Scholarships. But remember, you only have to complete the one application and you will automatically be considered for every scholarship for which you qualify.
Selection Process
The Bauer College Scholarship Committee selects scholarship recipients through a competitive process. Many of the Bauer College Scholarships have specific requirements in addition to merit and/or financial need, such as major or field of interest, community involvement, career goals, leadership skills, or membership in Bauer College student organizations. The specific criteria for each scholarship are established by the scholarship donor and the College.
Most Bauer scholarships are awarded over the summer for the upcoming academic year but the Committee continues to award scholarships throughout the year as long as there are funds available or new scholarships established. Awards are usually disbursed in two installments, half in the Fall semester and half in the Spring, and are applied directly to the recipient's student account.
All scholarship recipients have one thing in common:
They all took the time to apply. Shouldn't you?
Can I Apply?
To be eligible for the Bauer College Scholarships, students must be admitted to the University of Houston (Main Campus) and the Bauer College of Business. Please note that students who are admitted to the University of Houston but are not admitted to the Bauer College of Business are not eligible for the Bauer College Scholarships. If you believe that you will be admitted before scholarship decisions are made or before the Fall semester begins, you may complete the online application but you can not be awarded a Bauer scholarship without admittance.
Every Bauer College student is encouraged to apply. Current business majors, as well as incoming graduate students and Bauer College freshmen, transfer students, and international students are eligible to apply for Bauer College Scholarships.

March 26, 2005
WORCESTER, Mass. - MIT opened NEWMAC play on Saturday with a doubleheader sweep at Clark University. The Engineers pounded out 17 runs in the first tilt, before taking a 4-2 decision against the Cougars in the nightcap. The win marked MIT's fifth in a row.
The Engineers won the first game of the twinbill behind a 10-run first inning that produced only three hits. Four straight walks pre-emted a two-run double by freshman Kevin Wheeler that quickly blew the game open. Senior Mike Batty capped the explosive inning with a three-run homerun.
MIT completed the scoring with another monster output in the third. Warren Bates crushed a three-run bomb to open the scoring, before Kyle Zeller topped his teammate's effort with the season's first grand slam.
Mike Batty was commanding on the hill, surrendering only two runs over five innings, while striking out six.
In the second game, the score remained close as good pitching set the stage for both teams.
Trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh, Kyle Zeller doubled home Duggan to knot the score. The Engineers took the lead on the next at bat, as Ricky Tydus reached base safely on an error, allowing Wheeler to cross the plate unscathed. MIT added another unearned run in the eighth to cap the scoring.
Rookie Jay Turner threw seven solid innings to grab the win, while Cliff Roscow pitched a perfect ninth to record the save.

FREETOWN — Cindy Cuthbertson has compiled a stellar record as Apponequet High School's field hockey coach. But her goals for her students go far beyond those they score on the playing field.
FREETOWN — Cindy Cuthbertson has compiled a stellar record as Apponequet High School's field hockey coach. But her goals for her students go far beyond those they score on the playing field.
Cuthbertson, who taught 25 years at Apponequet before retiring earlier this year, said she takes great pride in seeing her former athletes blossom into successful adults. The lessons they learn on the field carry over to their personal lives, helping them to overcome challenges and adversity and succeed lifelong, she said.
"I love to see these young women mature and develop into good role models," said Cuthbertson. "It's very rewarding to see the people that they have become."
Cuthbertson taught literally thousands of young people who grew up in Freetown and Lakeville. She helped 200 students annually achieve CPR certification as Apponequet's lone health instructor.
While she had a profound impact in the classroom, Cuthbertson is perhaps best known as the head coach of the Apponequet field hockey team. Despite retiring, she stayed on as the Lakers' coach this fall, leading the squad to its most successful season in school history.
Apponequet won the South Coast Conference crown for the fifth time in Cuthbertson's career and also captured the school's first ever MIAA Division 2 South Sectional title. Her career record is 347 wins, 127 losses and 101 ties.
As a result of the impact she has had on the lives of her students and athletes, Cuthbertson has been named The Standard-Times 2012 Freetown Woman of the Year. Nominations for the award came from the community and members of the newspaper staff. Recipients were selected by a newsroom committee.
Cuthbertson roams the sidelines in the fall, while husband Bill coaches basketball and baseball at Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School during the winter and spring seasons. The balancing act helped the Freetown residents raise their two adult daughters, Caitlyn and Kristen, attending their various sporting events and other activities when their schedules permitted.
"We found a way to make it work," said Cuthbertson. "Coaching is still very fulfilling for us."
When Cuthbertson arrived for the first practice of the 2012 season in August, she was unsure how her team would respond. The Lakers were dealt a blow before the season even started when standout player Liz Loranger tore an ACL while playing lacrosse over the summer; the injury ended her field hockey season before it even started.
"It could have gone either way," said Cuthbertson. "They could tank it or play as a family. Fortunately the kids pulled it together. There was no drama, there were no superstars. The girls over-achieved. They didn't want the season to end."
"Cindy embodies the philosophy that education is more than just classrooms and textbooks," said Jean Fox, chairwoman of the Freetown Board of Selectmen. "The focus for success in the 21st century must be on the whole child."
Fox said that to prepare high school students for post-secondary education and work, educators "must encourage such skills as critical thinking, self-discipline, collaboration, global awareness, problem solving."
They're all skills that Cuthbertson imparts to her athletes and students, "thus developing well-rounded and enthusiastic players and learners," Fox said.
Cuthbertson said she plans to be back on the sidelines for the Lakers next fall, continuing to mold young athletes and guide them toward adulthood and success long after their playing careers are finished.
"I still have a passion for the game," said Cuthbertson. "As long as I enjoy it and have good health, I'll continue."

It's not often that Duke City denizens get to see a TV show being filmed. Sure, "Breaking Bad," "In Plain Sight," "Wildfire" and "Scoundrels" all made their mark on Albuquerque, lensing (and in the case of the first two, continuing to lens) lots of local landmarks. But aside from the random sighting of a film crew camped out Downtown, our opportunity to really see a show being shot is slim.
Starting this Sunday, though, that all changes. MTV's Mexican wrestling series "Masked Warriors" has relocated to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, just south of Albuquerque, to shoot its second season. The show's first live event will be held on Dec. 12. The show will continue to shoot monthly episodes through June. "We are thrilled to bring some of Mexican wrestling's most infamous characters to our venue," said Cassie Rakoczy, marketing director of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Albuquerque, at a press conference announcing the move in late October. "The outlandish plots and spectacular physicality appeals to a huge fan base, and we are excited to bring this type of sport to New Mexico." Press conference lip service aside, this is kick-ass news.
"Masked Warriors" premiered in July on MTV2 and obviously got good enough ratings to merit a second season. While there's no shortage of wrestling shows on TV, "Masked Warriors" is the only one (on English-speaking networks, anyway) to concentrate on the historical, high-flying Mexican style known as lucha libre ("free fighting"). In Mexico, professional wrestling is a national obsession, with legendary figures like El Santo, Mil Máscaras and Blue Demon worshipped like demigods.
In addition to the masks, Mexican wrestling is far more acrobatic than its American counterpart. Wrestlers frequently climb the ropes and turnbuckles (the "high spots") to leap onto their opponents. Even more so than American matches, fighters find themselves in clearly defined camps of good guys (téchnicos) and bad guys (rudos). Matches are two falls out of three, allowing for more dramatic buildup. In fact, since our South of the Border pals actually seem to like watching wrestlers wrestle, lucha libre consists mostly of, well, wrestling. (As opposed to the interviews, arguments, posturing, boasting and silly backstage "storylines" that define modern American wrestling.)
The Dec. 12 event that kicks off the second season of "Masked Warriors" will feature several well-known grapplers. In the second-generation category, there's Lizmark Jr. (who is, in fact, the son of the recently retired Lizmark), Tinieblas Jr. (another nepotistic son of a legend) and Blue Demon Jr. (who's only the "adopted" son of Blue Demon). In the transplant category, we get Marco Corleone (American wrestler Mark Robert Jindrak, who trained under "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff). In the pint-sized category, we get Octagóncito and Mini Park (little-person or "mini-estrella" versions of popular wrestlers Octagón and La Parka).
Show your enthusiasm with signs, masks and general shouting, and you may just see yourself on camera.

A: It's been great! I've enjoyed every moment!

Entitlement? Spoiled Brats? Or Just Progress?
from the you-cannot-deny-what-technology-allows dept
I don't think people are complaining because they feel entitled, so much as they recognize the power of technology to provide these sorts of things and recognize that what technology allows cannot and will not be undone. I don't think that's about being "spoiled." I think it's about recognizing progress. Is it "spoiled" to use a telephone or email to communicate? Is it "spoiled" to travel by a car or airplane? Or is it just the march of progress that enabled these things, and which people are quite happy about using because it makes their lives better?
If anything, it seems like the sense of "entitlement" and the feelings of being "spoiled" is coming from those who wish to hold back progress, and to keep things the way they were in the past, rather than embracing what the technology and progress have enabled.

Dallas, TX (Sports Network) - It was always going to be about LeBron and Dirk.
The narrative might stray from game-to-game in the 2011 NBA Finals but the denouement so to speak was always going to be about which superstar stamped his legacy.
Surprisingly, Nowitzki got it done before taking home any trophy. Sure, hardcore basketball ideologues that have a horse in the race might try to convince you Dirk isn't one of the greatest of all-time if the Mavericks go on to lose this series but his performance in Game 4 was epic enough to drown out that nonsense.
Labored by a sinus infection and 101 degree fever on Tuesday, Nowitzki squeezed every ounce of rest he could during each timeout in an effort to conserve his energy in a performance that reminded many of Michael Jordan's "Flu Game" in the 1997 NBA Finals.
By intermission of Game 4 it was clear that Nowitzki was struggling and it was learned he was suffering from the fever. The 7-footer was an uncharacteristic 4-of-13 for 11 points through three quarters and actually missed a free throw after making 39 straight in the Finals.
Sick or not Nowitzki has made the fourth quarter his own and Game 4 was no different. The German star netted 10 of his 21 points in the final frame, including eight during a big run that gave the Mavericks the lead in what turned out to be an 86-83 victory that deadlocked the series at two apiece.
They say everything is bigger in Texas and by the time Nowitzki placed Udonis Haslem on his hip, driving to the basket for a bucket with 14.4 seconds left, Dirk's legend was growing to gargantuan proportions.
Depending on who you were talking with, the temperature rose to 102 and made it all the way up to 105 at one point. I deadpanned he was also diagnosed with shingles and rickets before the big shot.
Mavs coach Rick Carlisle described Dirk the best, however.
"He's one of the greatest ever. He wants the ball and he wants the responsibility of winning or losing the game. We make every effort of putting him in those situations."
Therein lies the difference between Nowitzki and his Miami counterpart -- James.
LeBron is unquestionably the most physically gifted player in basketball and he can do more on the floor than any other.
But, when the game is on the line and things haven't been clicking for James, he is content to defer. LBJ simply doesn't want the responsibility of winning or losing the game, something Dirk yearns for.
It's a best-of-three series now with tonight's Game 5 in North Texas acting as a swing before things shift back to Miami for Game 6 on Sunday and, possibly, a winner-take-all Game 7 next Tuesday night.
With the stakes so high James knows he must turn up the intensity on the offensive end tonight.
"I think it's that time that I try to get myself going individually, but at the same time still play my game," said James. "And when I say be more aggressive, that doesn't mean be more aggressive and have to shoot the ball. It just means being more aggressive and looking for opportunities to get a look."
Dwyane Wade, who has carried the Heat offense during James' mini-slump, would love the help. "Sounds good to me," D-Wade said.
James, of course, shot just 3-of-11 from the field in Game 4 and his eight points was more than 20 below his career playoff average. The two-time former MVP did manage to collect nine rebounds and seven assists but also turned the ball over four times, and was regretful on Wednesday for not being more assertive.
"I didn't play well, especially offensively. I know that," James said. "I've got to do a better job of helping this team win basketball games, especially late, no matter what it is. If that's getting an offensive rebound, like I said, making a couple of baskets, being more aggressive to give my guys opportunities to get open looks. I have to do that. That's what my job."
Dallas' DeShawn Stevenson attempted to up the pressure on the embattled James, saying LeBron "checked out" in the fourth quarter of Dallas' Game 4 win.
"DeShawn, he's been talking for a long time, since our Washington-Cleveland days," James said. "I don't let that get to us. Those guys are playing well. We're playing well. It's a three-game series. Talk is cheap."
Perhaps Stevenson has been talking out of school for a long time but he's far from the only one. For years, James' detractors have pointed to the slumping shoulders in big moments, the almost desire to defer big shots.
Truly special players are defined by an abstract concept not contained in any box score -- Nowitzki proved that on Tuesday.
No one has ever questioned James' skill nor should they. His grit, determination and willingness to do whatever it takes to win?
That still has to be proven and tonight just might be LBJ's judgment day.

To the Editor:
The recent tragic event and its aftermath have brought great sorrow to the doorsteps of the United States Penitentiary, (USP) Canaan. The senseless and horrific murder of our colleague, brother and friend, Officer Eric Williams and the unexpected loss of Officer Gregory Vineski, has caused tremendous grief. We suffer as an agency, as a correctional institution, and as a member of your community. Over the past several weeks we have been devastated, yet we are humbled by the outpouring of respect, sympathy, support and concern this community offered us. So it is fitting, we convey to you that we draw great strength from the community in which we serve.
On behalf of the staff of this institution, I wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to everyone, for the comfort you provided. Nothing we could ever say will fully express the gratitude and respect we carry in our hearts for this community. The men and women who stand watch at this facility will forever grieve this loss, but we will also ever remember the community who came to our aid and comfort.
The outpouring of grief and concern you extended in the hours and days that followed this tragedy continue to be of great comfort to the colleagues, friends and families of those who were lost. Many of our staff are the sons and daughters of Pennsylvania, which means they are family and friends to many in this community.
As Warden, I also wish to publicly thank the men and women of the several law enforcement, first responder and community agencies who selflessly provided their services to USP Canaan. I can never repay your service, but I can say that it is an honor to serve with you as professionals, and to be your neighbor. Again, words cannot begin to express our sincere gratitude to the fine people of Northeast Pennsylvania.
Our mission and resolve was tested on that terrible night and its aftermath, but we remain more dedicated now than ever to advancing justice for the American people by providing a secure correctional facility within your community.
On behalf of the Bureau of Prisons, the staff and families of the United States Penitentiary, Canaan, I extend our deepest respect and heartfelt appreciation.
David J. Ebbert, Warden, USP Canaan

Hmm, it was an... interesting movie. Liked the characters although it took a little while to warm up to them (Saya being a bit of a bitch at the start was fun to watch admittedly). Found the plot interesting right up until the last 5-10 minutes where it just went full on derp.
Spoiler for Ending spoilers:
It did look gorgeous though, but I was kind of expecting that. Say what you will about Blood-C, it had some really nice animation and choreography and this wasn't any different.
Oh, and absurd amounts of blood. That was expected too.

It was a very entertaining movie until the last battle... Did he really need to do all that for Saya?
He made her more miserable and I think there's more ways to get what he wanted.
I don't know how to feel about the woman who became a politician being the only one who got a happy ending from the anime.
Without a doubt the best scene was Watanuki's cameo.

Hey it was a pretty darn good movie - at least this actually something watchable rather than that stupid TV series. Overall, Blood C is still an utter failure but at least we saw Saya kicking people's butt in the end.
Maybe the entire thing would've worked if the Movie was the TV series and the TV series was an interesting prequel movie.

I liked the animation for obvious reasons, but when there isn't a David in the mix it just feels empty. The Blood series always had this international feel to it and it's not supposed to be limited to just one culture.
Not one European or American in sight.
Saya's mindset and her overall character doesn't mesh with the supporting cast it just feels like they're catering too much for the otaku fan base and not for a wider one. They're also annoying and awkward.
What makes it worst is there was 1 Chiropteran. One. Uno. Ichi. Out of the whole movie. The rest were monsters.
When you look at the original or Plus, there's an actual story instead of some "sacrificial" melodrama.

As for the lack of story, well, substance was never really a strong point of the Blood franchise.

The show was a masterpiece - stop badmouthing it u.u
I mean, no other show ever had the audacity to do anything remotely like that. It was freaking amazing. From how its setting was so obviously fake and yet how it dared drag it out to how bloody cheesy it got and just how gory it got. No limits whatsoever. Best part was that it wasn't slapstick self-parody like almost every other show that dared to push the audience's patience ever. Oh and how can you hate moe moe slice of life with meganekko badass in sailor uniform???? She was even trying her best to protect everyone even if they got scared of her and all. Those shots of her smiling without any malice or care when completely coated in blood are the best thing to ever have come out of anime
Still haven't watched the movie yet though. Hopefully it won't disappoint even though the plot can't be anything other than Boy A loved Girl B so much that he does all this totally messed up shit that confuses the heck out of himself more than anybody else for her ;_; ( ;_; ). Sorry Clamp, your older stories were much better than these convoluted crap. Get back to something simple and yet riveting like Angelic Layer and work back up from there or something.

The original and + had style to it, Blood C dark just copied and past the intro of the original, except the real Saya would have chop that monster before it even left the train and not break her sword like a fool.
It's not a Blood series without a David.
In Blood Plus, there is a basic story that places Saya in the normal atmosphere only to have it crash down when reality finally hits her without going overboard and chopping twins in half. The irony and forced shocked factor.
Not only that, but the cast was diverse. You had a sense of familiarity with them and the reason why they do things made sense even the villains.
The characters had motives and weren't dead weight like when Clamp took over. I'm actually surprised there wasn't any Yaoi elements added into this movie.
Fumito was just a sacrificial idiot who died in vain for a stupid reason just to TRY and force out "Clannad Tears" for the viewers that even cared about that lame.
Haji was superior in every way and had more depth and reason to his existence. Fumito is a waste of digital ink.
Masterpiece has been used a lot, but I don't think you should use it so lightly.
This won't even have any legs or reverence in the world market of anime like GiTS.

Blood+ on the other hand was a shounen/shoujo pastiche I could never get into. I know many people liked it, and I can't deny the characters were properly developed (they had 50+ episodes to work with after all) but it was a bit too melodramatic at times and that always seemed out of place to me.
If we're talking about depth in general though, Haji was pretty much a doll for most of the series. And at the end of the run, when he begins to show some semblance of actual characterization, it's too little too late.
As for Fumito, he was just a crazy dude in love. No much more to say about him, to be honest. His tragedy is so retarded you can't even feel pity for the guy. For me Saya's actual "love interest" in the movie was Mana. I mean, that girl eve got Saya to drink coffee again. That's fucking huge, all things considering. Too bad they couldn't stay together at the end...

If you couldn't finish the series, I don't think there's any point in watching this movie. The only reason I watched it is because I wanted to see the resolution of Saya and Fumito's conflict initiated at the end of the series. Can't say the movie delivered on that front...

I disagree. There are quite a lot of reasons to watch the movie even if you didn't watch/like the series. For example: the animation, the music, the creepy atmosphere, the yuri subtext between Saya and Mana...
If you can put your brain on stand by and not ask yourself questions like "why does Fumito like to screw with Saya's life so much", then you're set.

None of these are good enough to warrant a watch if you have no interest in Blood-C or the Blood franchise in general imo. It was a mediocre movie even as a stand alone. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody, except maybe hardcore Clamp fans for the Watanuki cameo. As far as recent movies go, watching Wolf Children is a far better idea.

The blood series has always had an international feel. That's what I'm getting at. This thing won't even warrant a second viewing to most people.
David is quite important since he gives out the missions and gives Saya advice and a purpose to do what she needs to do.
The shounen stuff that you don't like doesn't really matter to me since I'm only talking about what the series is about. Not your preference.
By the way, the Blood Plus "melodrama" as you put it has a reason behind it unlike this garbage villain with his pathetic sense of love along with that weak sauce golem monster that didn't even last 2 minutes to take down.
Anyways, I'm done here. This isn't going anywhere.
Adios, Blood C and good riddance.

I just watched this movie a moment ago, as I was one of the people who painfully stuck with the series from beginning to end and... I don't really understand what I just saw, to be honest. I am confused by Fumito's motivations. He just wanted to keep her alive (as well as give her the ability to kill/devour humans) and went about it in an extremely roundabout and unnecessarily complex way?
I'm fine with no elaborate explanation was to what Saya really is in the Blood-C universe. I'm fine with them never saying who Saya made the contract with that prevents her from harming humans. But I'm not fine with the unbelievably lame way everything got "wrapped up", if you can even call it that. Too many of the wrong things were left unexplained, too many things seemed nonsensical or bullshitty... It's oddly appropriate, I guess. The series was exactly the same way. I guess I got what I came for.
How dissatisfying. At least it gave me some good unintentional laughs. Dat final monster CG...

Advanced melanoma patients taking an experimental pill, vemurafenib, developed by Roche and Daiichi Sankyo were 63 percent less likely to die than patients given chemotherapy, according to a new trial presented Sunday at a meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago.
Dr. Paul Chapman of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York and the study's lead investigator called the results an "unprecedented level of difference" for patients with advanced melanoma, who typically survive just eight months on current treatments.
In a separate study presented at ASCO, previously untreated people with advanced melanoma treated with Bristol-Myers Squibb's Yervoy, or ipilimumab, plus chemotherapy lived an average of two months longer than people who got chemotherapy alone.
Yervoy works by spurring the immune system to fight off the cancer. Vemurafenib is designed for use in patients with tumors that have a mutation in a gene known as BRAF that allows melanoma cells to grow. About half of all melanomas have the genetic aberration.
The Roche trial included 675 patients with previously untreated, inoperable late-stage metastatic melanoma with the BRAF mutation.
After a median three months of treatment, vemurafenib patients also had a 74 percent reduction in the risk of cancer progression compared to dacarbazine.
"This is a huge difference," said Dr. Antoni Ribas, an oncologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, who has studied vemurafenib. "Even if it diminishes over time, who cares?"
Nearly half of patients treated with the Roche drug had tumor shrinkage, compared with 5.5 percent with chemotherapy.
Side effects included skin rashes and joint pain. About 18 percent of patients developed a low-grade skin cancer.
Analysts, on average, have forecast annual vemurafenib sales of $452 million by 2015 and expect Yervoy annual sales of $1.26 billion, according to Thomson Pharma.
Roche expects U.S. and European regulators to decide on approval of its drug before the end of the year.
Bristol-Myers' Yervoy was approved in March for patients with inoperable or metastatic melanoma, based on a previous study which showed the drug given alone extended survival by four months in patients who had failed other treatments.
"What was interesting about this study was not only was it the second one to show a benefit," but that the improvement "took place even in the presence of dacarbazine chemotherapy," Dr. Jedd Wolchok of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, who presented the study at the meeting, said in a telephone interview.
"We worried a lot that chemotherapy could be immunosuppressive," Wolchok said, noting that that might explain why the average survival benefit was two months instead of four.
"We don't know what dacarbazine did to the ipilimumab, but we do know even in the presence of dacarbazine, ipilimumab still produced a durable response and extended survival."
Doctors said taken together the new studies offer new options for patients.
"This is really unprecedented time to have two new approaches to treat advanced melanoma," said Dr. Lynn Schuchter of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, a melanoma expert who moderated a panel discussion of the drugs.
"Once you finally understand what is driving the disease we can develop therapies that are more effective," she said.
She and others expect vemurafenib to be approved this year. Meanwhile, doctors are already working out treatment strategies.
For patients who are stable with slow-growing tumors, Chapman said he would start them off on ipilimumab.
"That is a drug that can take a while to work, so if the person has time I would rather give him essentially two shots on goal rather than one."
For advanced patients who need a quick response, he would use vemurafenib first.
Schuchter said now the future is going to be to build upon this success and combine therapies.
"Cancer cells outwit us — they are brilliant — and figure out other pathways," she said.
Bristol-Myers and Roche announced earlier this week a collaboration to evaluate the combination of Yervoy and vemurafenib as a therapy for metastatic melanoma.
More than 70,000 people in the United States and 160,000 worldwide are diagnosed with melanoma each year, according to the American Cancer Society. The five-year survival rate for the aggressive cancer is just 15 percent.

Life may begin at 40, but job searches that begin at that age can be discouraging. After all, the job market is not what it used to be. Entire professions are disappearing, and the labor market is flooded with unmarried, childless, eager young applicants whose salary requirements are generally lower.
Despite this grim scenario, older workers shouldn't despair. They bring such hard-won assets as experience and discipline to the table, and the people doing the hiring know it. "Savvy employers are reaching out to skilled, energetic job seekers over 40," says Steven Greenberg, founder of the employment search site Jobs 4.0. "Newly hired older workers tend to stay in their jobs longer than younger hires. Older workers often require less training time, and have better work habits."
CNBC.com spoke with experts in such fields as technology, human resources, and finance to determine which professions are best for older workers looking to reinvent their careers, and which sectors offer real hiring opportunities.

Taylor Swift played the role of supportive girlfriend yesterday ... accompanying her boyfriend Conor Kennedy as he visited his mother's grave site on Cape Cod.
The two were joined by several members of the Kennedy family, including Conor's brother and sister, who were all paying respects to the late Mary Richardson Kennedy.
Mary -- who married and divorced Robert F. Kennedy -- died back in May. Officials say the 52-year-old hanged herself in a barn. She had been suffering from serious bouts of addiction and depression for years.

Sony Pictures is reportedly very close to securing a deal for the film rights to the Steve Jobs biography. The deal Sony is tabling is said to be $1 million against $3 million and that Mark Gordon will be in line to produce the film.
The book which will be called simply Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacsson was initially due for release in November. That date has now been pulled forward and it is set to hit shelves real and virtual on Oct. 24.
Sony Pictures has already made successful films from business related books so should be a good fit for the project. It has already had success with Moneyball and of course, Oscar nominated The Social Network.

Illinois foreclosure problems continue
Foreclosure rates in the Illiana area have dropped over the past year, but the decline is getting no help from the state of Illinois.
RealtyTrac gives Illinois the third-highest foreclosure rate in the nation, behind only Florida and Nevada.
Though the foreclosure activity nationwide is up slightly, 3.2 percent since last month, it is still down significantly, 22.1 percent from the prior year.
The numbers not real impressive here. Kankakee County had 721 foreclosure notices filed in 2012, down only a half dozen from 727 the year before.
The number of homes in foreclosure in January and February show 83 in Kankakee, 43 in Bourbonnais, Bradley (18), Manteno (25), and Watseka (8).

The storytelling sucked in the anime version, I guess having only 12 episodes was not helping. The concept was not original but the way they handled it was really good. To be honest if it was not for the fan-service and game developer I wouldn't have bothered :/
I other words, a guy with multiple personalities due to childhood trauma, has a baby face, being popular in Asia, and ending up with a potential harem... that's the story, stripped of all gimmicks that make it interesting

Well, like I said earlier, they handled it superbly earlier on. The format they chose to tell this complex story and the detail they packed together (and including all the fanservice and random jokes to draw in people who like them at the same time), was seriously awesome. But the lack of episodes did take its toll in the latter half. And they severely downplayed the actual plot. But oh well.
And I don't know how some of you got Hiyoko as the winner, because, from what I saw, there was no winner. They had Kobato and Youji explicitly deny romantic interest in each other though. Which is bs just as much as Youji going yaoi on his bff is, obviously, but them being cousins and not real siblings had half-killed the fun (for me) anyway.

Last episode confirmed it's cousin. Something about Kobato being Mom's brother's daughter or something like that.
Dunno how Kobato and Youji deny romantic interest in each other though, considering Kobato don't want Naru kissing Dora (yes, Dora came out so Hiyoko isn't special), and everything Youji did was for Kobato's sake. Not to mention the title is referring specifically to the Haneda 'siblings', going by the priest's words after the credits. XD

^ maybe the other one. The one who help them figure it out. Or in the vn perspective. The player of the game. Their is another personality lock in after hayato and chitose. And that personality is the one who is watching through the outside the tv.

Oretsuba OVA - Drinky Bird
DJ Condor is one of the best characters who lacks a physical body I've seen in some time. He knows what the viewers want, and delivers it, all while delivering the kind of snarky commentary you can only get with Sugita at the helm. How the three-in-one became three separate bodies is a quandary for another day, but I was laughing almost constantly at the start of the episode. A fine fakeout, sir.
As for the rest of the episode, the ghost story being about a ghost whose "curse" is actually a blessing was pretty amusing, and lots of female flesh was provided. Also monkeys. Apparently they are quite the picky type when it comes to the kind of undergarments they prefer. Truly, they have a lot in common with man. At the end, it looks like Takashi/Hayato/Shusuke got his harem to gather round him once more - for the final animated scene of the series I'll see, I'm pretty content with that.
Worth remembering that this came with Oretsuba R, instead of released by itself - crafty, producers, very crafty. It's been a fun ride.

I just realized.
They put in that scene where Takashi finds Kobato laying naked in her futon, she calls him oniichan while she's still groggy then when she's fully awake she realizes it's not Youji and asks who it is.
But they never put the scene in the anime that took place immediately before that where Youji came to the surface and saw Kobato for the first time in years

They just made him more resistant to coming out in the anime.
In the game, he came to the surface temporarily after Garuda convinced him that Kobato wanted to see him and there was no one in the cockpit so it was a good chance(The same conversation happened in the anime, right after the Garuda episode, but Youji refused there instead.) But after his turn in the cockpit ended, he tumbled back down to the abyss and couldn't go back. He wanted to come to the surface but he couldn't do it without the 'wind' to take him, like Garuda couldn't come to the surface on his own will either. They were stuck in the abyss. It wasn't until clearing the 3 other routes that the 6th personality(you) was able to create the wind to send Youji upwards for good and start the 'true route', so to speak
But they put that scene that happens after he does come out temporarily in the anime, despite making it so he never actually comes out at that point in the anime. It's a contradiction!

Raven is the leader of R-Wing but it is implied that he knows Phoenix from the earlier times?
Raven also implies that he knows Asuka's secrets. Is he related to her or something?

Miriam, our very first teacher - the one who taught us how to make croquetas back in February - once again shared her culinary skills with us. This time we made Potaje de Lentejas – which was perfect for Saturday's stormy weather.
The fact that Miriam was the one who taught us how to make this was inevitable, as she is in charge every New Year's Eve for making lentil soup in order to observe the New Year's tradition – eating lentil soup on New Year's Eve will bring you prosperity the following year. So amidst all the other "traditions", the lentil soup is a mainstay.
This time we met at her daughter's house and then followed the "class" by having a great dinner – Miriam's sister made a pork loin. (By the way, that same sister, her name is Nora, will be teaching us how to make Turkey Fricassee some time next year.) Accompanied by some hearty red wine, a salad and good friends, it was delicious!
We had a great time as always, sharing stories of Miriam and her sisters' travels all over the world, reminiscing about early days in Miami, and just laughing and being silly. It was a wonderful afternoon.
14 oz. bag of lentils
1 medium green pepper - chunked
8 cups of water
1 medium onion – minced
5 cloves of garlic - minced
2 carrots – peeled and sliced
1 packet or cube of chicken bouillon
1 packet of Sazon Goya – the one with Coriander and Annatto (this can be replaced with any Latin seasoning with coriander)
1 chorizo – sliced
2 small smoked ham shanks
3 tbsp olive oil
5 tbsp tomato sauce
Salt to taste
This recipe makes approximately 10 hearty servings.
- Sort through the dry lentils to remove foreign objects.
- Rinse the lentils.
- Add lentils and peppers to the water.
- Mince the onions and garlic together and add paste to the lentils.
- Add everything except the salt to the lentils and water.
- Set on high until it comes to a boil.
- Taste the liquid and add salt to taste.
- Set the temperature to Medium-Low. Cover and cook for 30-40 minutes.
- NOTE: Some lentils absorb more water then others and you may want to add more water to get it to your preferred consistency as some like it soupier than others.
- Once it has cooked and thickened, take out the ham shanks.
- Strip the meat, shred it and put back into the soup. Stir well.
- NOTE: The green peppers are cut into chunks so they can be removed if desired. Their flavor may overpower the lentils if the soup is stored for later use.
- Take off heat.
¡Buen provecho!

Most pollinator-plant relationships follow the same trend – animal lands on plant, gets covered in pollen which it then transfers onto another plant of the same species – but there are many plants that go against the norm, and have a weird and wonderful method of ensuring that their pollen gets to where it needs to be.
Plants in the Araceae family, also known as 'aroids', act as a kind-of bed and breakfast for insects. These plants attract a wide range of insect pollinators by producing scents which vary between rotting flesh and sweet fruit, and many produce heat to help with the dispersal of their aroma. Most aroid species will trap any insect that comes into contact with its leaves inside a dungeon-like structure which it is unable to escape from. While the insect is trapped, the plant produces nectar to feed it and keep it alive and after 24 hours the male flowers mature and cover the insect with pollen. The dungeon then collapses and allows the pollen-covered insect to escape and find another aroid to pollinate, starting the process again!
Orchids are an extremely diverse plant group and their methods of attracting pollinators are variable between species. Most orchids just have one or two dedicated pollinators which can be bees, wasps, flies, ants or butterflies, and this means that if becomes extinct, the other will likely share the same fate.
Ophrys species have a very sneaky way of attracting male bees to their flowers. They have evolved their scent over time to mimic the pheromones released by a female bee and even have a similar appearance, which led to the designation of their common name – 'bee orchids'. When a male picks up the scent, it lands on the flower of the bee orchid and repeatedly attempts copulation, all the while being covered in the plant's pollen. Another type of orchid that encourages bee romance are bucket orchids, which produce a cologne for male bees that is irresistible to females.
Another orchid, Oncidium planilabre, has a less romantic approach to attracting male bees, and mimics a male rather than a female, which encourages attacks from male bees. When the male bee attacks the orchid, it is covered in pollen which is then transferred to the next bee-like flower that it takes a dislike to.
Another orchid with a strange pollination method is Holcoglossum amesianum. This amazing plant has the capacity to move its flowers 360 degrees to transfer pollen onto its stigma and does not rely on any external forces whatsoever.
Fig wasps and figs
Fig wasps and figs have a completely dependent symbiotic relationship. The fascinating pollination cycle of the fig tree begins when a female wasp enters one of the fruits through an extremely small opening, often losing its wings and antennae on its way in. Once inside, the female lays her eggs and dies shortly after. When the eggs have hatched, the male and female offspring have very different functions. The wingless males explore the inside of the fig, trying to find a female to mate with and once they have mated, they bore exit pathways to the outside of the fig then also die. The female offspring, once they have mated, collect pollen from the male flowers inside the fig and then use the pathways created by the males to escape. The females then search for a new fig fruit to pollinate and the whole cycle begins again.
Axinaea species
Plants in the Axinaea genus have large, bulb-like structures on their stamens which entice passing birds. As the bird touches the structure with its bill, it explodes and covers the bird's face with pollen. As the bird continues to forage, the pollen is transferred onto other plants.
Giant Amazon water lily
At the beginning of its pollination cycle, the giant Amazon water lily produces female flowers which have white petals and emit a strong fruity scent that attracts beetles. The flower itself is around 10 degrees Celsius warmer than the ambient temperature – another factor that makes it irresistible to beetles. When the beetles arrive and begin to feed on the nectar, the flower slowly closes and traps the beetles inside. Throughout the day the petals of the flower turn pink and it undergoes a sex change, turning into a male and covering the beetles in pollen. When the flower eventually reopens, it releases the pollen-covered beetles who are then free to continue their search for nectar.
