With pen in hand, Iran's kidnapper-in-chief has reached out to communicate with the American people. Inspired by the election, he is picking up Democratic talking points and reading the returns:
In Iraq, about one hundred and fifty thousand American soldiers, separated from their families and loved ones, are operating under the command of the current US administration. A substantial number of them have been killed or wounded and their presence in Iraq has tarnished the image of the American people and government.
Their mothers and relatives have, on numerous occasions, displayed their discontent with the presence of their sons and daughters in a land thousands of miles away from US shores. American soldiers often wonder why they have been sent to Iraq.
I consider it extremely unlikely that you, the American people, consent to the billions of dollars of annual expenditure from your treasury for this military misadventure.
Noble Americans,
You have heard that the US administration is kidnapping its presumed opponents from across the globe and arbitrarily holding them without trial or any international supervision in horrendous prisons that it has established in various parts of the world. God knows who these detainees actually are, and what terrible fate awaits them.
You have certainly heard the sad stories of the Guantanamo and Abu-Ghraib prisons. The US administration attempts to justify them through its proclaimed "war on terror." But every one knows that such behavior, in fact, offends global public opinion, exacerbates resentment and thereby spreads terrorism, and tarnishes the US image and its credibility among nations.
The US administration's illegal and immoral behavior is not even confined to outside its borders. You are witnessing daily that under the pretext of "the war on terror," civil liberties in the United States are being increasingly curtailed. Even the privacy of individuals is fast losing its meaning. Judicial due process and fundamental rights are trampled upon. Private phones are tapped, suspects are arbitrarily arrested, sometimes beaten in the streets, or even shot to death.
I have no doubt that the American people do not approve of this behavior and indeed deplore it.
The US administration does not accept accountability before any organization, institution or council. The US administration has undermined the credibility of international organizations, particularly the United Nations and its Security Council. But, I do not intend to address all the challenges and calamities in this message.
The legitimacy, power and influence of a government do not emanate from its arsenals of tanks, fighter aircrafts, missiles or nuclear weapons. Legitimacy and influence reside in sound logic, quest for justice and compassion and empathy for all humanity. The global position of the United States is in all probability weakened because the administration has continued to resort to force, to conceal the truth, and to mislead the American people about its policies and practices.
Undoubtedly, the American people are not satisfied with this behavior and they showed their discontent in the recent elections. I hope that in the wake of the mid-term elections, the administration of President Bush will have heard and will heed the message of the American people.
While other parts of the letter seem to anticipate the recommendations of the Baker-Hamilton commission and recycle the usual anti-Semitic canards, the heart of the letter has a more familiar ring. (Thanks to reader Ethan Brecher.)
JOHN adds: What was most striking to me about the letter, along with its recitation of Democratic Party talking points on Iraq, the WMDS, the NSA program, Abu Ghraib, etc., was its focus on Israel and the Palestinians. After the introductory platitudes, Ahmadinejad proceeded not to Iraq, as I would have expected, but to Israel. In the end, he in effect renewed his call for Israel to be wiped off the map through a "return" of millions of Palestinians who would unite what is now Israel with the Palestinian lands:
I recommend that in a demonstration of respect for the American people and for humanity, the right of Palestinians to live in their own homeland should be recognized so that millions of Palestinian refugees can return to their homes and the future of all of Palestine and its form of government be determined in a referendum. This will benefit everyone.
It struck me that with respect to Iraq, Ahmadinejad shows a fairly deft appreciation of the state of American public opinion, especially Democratic opinion. But when he turns to the Palestinians, his contact with reality–or with American public opinion, anyway–fades:
We, like you, are aggrieved by the ever-worsening pain and misery of the Palestinian people. Persistent aggressions by the Zionists are making life more and more difficult for the rightful owners of the land of Palestine.
Maybe that reflects the difference between political calculation and obsession.

Missing from discussions about the so-called fiscal cliff is the option to continue the payroll tax cut. To boost the economy, President Obama and Congress introduced a stimulus bill in 2010 that reduced the payroll tax, money collected at the time of each paycheck from employers and employees (workers with W2 forms).
The employee's share of the tax has normally been 6.2 percent with a built-in ceiling. The ceiling ensures that those earning $110,100 or less pay the full amount of the tax, but those earning more pay no more tax than those earning the maximum, lowering their effective payroll tax rate. Earn $1 million as a W2 employee, and you pay only 0.07% towards the payroll tax.
The payroll tax funds Social Security. Watching the government can be interesting. As we observed while the country was beginning to dip into the recession, political rhetoric moves quickly from finding ways of boosting Social Security to adopting a tax cut which could accelerate the supposed demise of this government program. Once the idea of a stimulus today became more important than preparing for tomorrow's realities, the conversation focused on reducing the payroll tax.
The stimulus bill reduced the employee's portion of the payroll tax two percentage points, from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent, and that change has been extended several times. The payroll tax cut is set to expire tomorrow, January 1, 2013, and neither the President nor the Congress has discussed extended this particular tax cut. Your first paycheck in 2013 will reflect the higher payroll tax rate, reducing your net take-home pay.
Regardless of whether income tax rates remain low or are returned to their levels before President Bush oversaw his round of income tax cuts, net pay will be lower in 2013 than it was in 2012. In general, with all other things being equal (which they never are), someone earning $50,000 will see $83 less each month.
There's still time. Congress could decide at a later date to reinstate the payroll tax cut. It could take effect retroactively, which mean the government will take less from each paycheck going forward to reach the desired rate by the end of the year. Or the government could reduce the rate in the middle of 2013 without any concern for what has already been paid by employees. Either way, an extension of the payroll tax cut seems unlikely to me because it hasn't been discussed in fiscal cliff negotiations thus far.
Employees should start planning today for the reduction in take-home pay. In this article, I'll assume that net income will be reduced by $100 per month. That's going to be a high estimate for most people affected by the return to the higher payroll tax rate, but it is a nice round number. If you plan for the worst, you'll be pleasantly surprised when you end up with a more favorable cash flow.
Reduce your spending by $100 per month
If you already have a well-defined monthly spending budget, find an area where you can shave $100. Resist the urge to save less. Don't sacrifice your savings and don't reduce your contributions to retirement due to the payroll tax cut. Find the difference in spending rather than saving.
- It may be time to drop Showtime or HBO, particularly if you signed up during a promotional period and are now paying full price to your cable company. Dropping some services might trigger a new deal that could save you money.
- Re-evaluate your mobile phone plan, particularly if you've expanded your service to include data for tablets over the past few years.
- How much money are you spending on clothing, particularly if you have children? If you've felt the economy improve over the last few years — and not everyone has — you may be spending more than you did in 2008 for expenses like these.
- Note that gas prices have been declining. If you drive often, such as having a daily commute to work, you've probably seen your expenses drop already.
If you don't have a budget and you don't track your spending, you might not be aware of your opportunities for spending more efficiently. Start tracking where your money goes so you can better identify the possibilities for reducing your spending by $100.
Increase your non-payroll income by $250 per month
It sounds like employees are burdened by payroll tax, but self-employed individuals deal with it more. When you're self-employed, you need to pay the employee's share of the tax as well as the employer's share. Self-employment income can come in different forms. You may be working for yourself in your own business, or you may be working as a consultant. If you're issued a 1099-MISC tax form, you're considered self-employed. If you own your own business, regardless of whether you issue yourself a W2, 1099 or no tax form, the full amount of the payroll tax ultimately comes out of your pocket.
Because of the additional tax burden on the self-employed, aim to increase your income by $250.
- How would you feel about earning money from one of your hobbies? If you enjoy photography and have proven yourself to be more skilled than the thousands of kids who use their mobile phones as cameras, use automated effects filters, and share their "art" on Facebook, consider doing a family portrait session each month.
- In the frenetic race to create ever-increasing content online, writers are in demand. Consider offering your skills as a freelance writer for one of a vast number of websites willing to hire good copywriters.
- If you are not legally restricted, take what you do for a living and offer it to others for a fee. If you're an in-house accountant, offer to handle your friends' tax returns. That's seasonal work, but it could provide enough self-employment income to cover the payroll tax increase for the entire year. If you do office work, find an opportunity to freelance data entry.
I've seen that those who begin to focus more on earning income by taking the initiative to make themselves available for freelance or consultant work based on their skills and passions start to see more opportunities. This is more than just earning an additional $250 each month. This could open doors to shaping an entirely new life in terms of income opportunities.
The elimination of the payroll tax cut is just one of those realities, a large-scale economic shift that everyone needs to deal with on an individual basis. We'd like to think we can keep all taxes low forever, but the society in which we would like to live requires funding. Low tax rates won't remain, and in this case, the payroll tax cut was implemented as temporary from the start, like the Bush-era income tax cuts.
It's up to the individual to prepare for the changes. When that means less coming home in the form of pay, the changes have to come from spending or income in order to leave saving unaffected. How will you prepare for the elimination of the payroll tax cut?

Main Site - :: Why Won't God Heal Amputees? ::
I'll answer that one with a question. Do you believe that my assertion that single motherhood leads to dependency and the overwhelming of the welfare system? I ask because others here celebrate single motherhood and Barton and I think that's a bad Idea. Your stats, whatever they are, and my stats that some here wish to dismiss could all be misrepresentitive of something, but what we can get form this discussion is that Atheist philosophies as demonstrated here are what Barton and I would call anti family. The anti family element tends to dependence, and a welfare state that is bankrupting the country. Barton and I are pointing to truth. I like that and as you said: But "like" and "trust" are not pathways to truth. However, they ARE often pathways to ERROR. It just may be that my liking Barton is not, in this specific case difinitively a pathway to error. I'm sure you could agree with that.

Stockton, CA
Alison Rae Hudson
June 18, 1950 - January 28, 2013
Alison Hudson passed away on January 28, 2013, surrounded by her loving family at her home in
San Francisco.
Alison was the proud mother of Francesca Chavez, John, Philip, Lenore, Alexander, Nathaniel and Olivia Estrada and was a Grandma to Luciano and Angelo Chavez, Jason, Anthony, Lauren and Megan Estrada. She is survived by her siblings, Jere Hudson, Meg Schulman and Susan Wood and was preceded in death by her husband, Rosalio Estrada and her parents, Jere and Margaret Hudson.
Alison was born in El Paso Texas on June 18, 1950 into an Air Force family and traveled extensively throughout the United States and South America during her childhood. She graduated from the University of Florida in Gainesville in 1972. After graduating, she settled in California, where she began a career dedicated to creating a better world. A renaissance woman, Alison worked as an educator, entrepreneur, and environmental crusader. Alison brought tremendous energy and a positive attitude to all she did. During her 20 year tenure as a waste management employee with San Joaquin County, her efforts led to the creation of household hazardous waste collection, master gardener, and used paint recycling programs that are among the first and best in the US. She was a respected and much-loved mentor to many.
She was an avid reader and was active in many political and social justice causes, but her proudest accomplishment was the community-minded family she raised. After being diagnosed with terminal cancer 7 years ago, Alison continued to live a joyful life. She participated in a clinical trial to advance the field of cancer research and became its longest-living participant. Until her retirement in November of 2012, she continued to work full-time and served on the board of the Tidewater Art Center.
Friends and family will gather to remember Alison at the Estrada home in Stockton this Friday, February 1st, at noon. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Stockton Women's Center or a local charity of your choice.

Legal drive-bys? Case against 'stand-your-ground' false
March 25. 2013 4:48PM
Opponents of New Hampshire's young "stand your ground" law predicted two years ago that it would lead to shootouts on New Hampshire's streets. It has not. Their new prediction, equally baseless, is that it will allow thugs to murder innocent people at will and escape prosecution.
Rep. Stephen Shurtleff, D-Penacook, is House majority leader and the sponsor of House Bill 135, which would repeal the state's "stand your ground" law. That 2011 law made it legal for a person to use deadly force in self defense in response to the use of deadly force "anywhere he or she has a right to be."
In a column we have printed on the opposite page, Shurtleff makes some misleading claims to promote his bill, which is on the House calendar for Wednesday. The most misleading is his use of a 2011 Manchester homicide in which Tony Hebert was charged with shooting to death Pablo Samniego. Hebert was in his car, the reportedly unarmed Samniego on a sidewalk with a friend.
"Had this incident occurred just four months later, after 'stand your ground' became law in New Hampshire, Hebert would have more legal cover for his actions. The ability to safely remove oneself from an encounter, even when the person knows it wouldn't expose himself or herself or anyone else to danger, is no longer even taken into consideration. Under 'stand your ground,' resorting to violence is legal even when the person knows he or she doesn't need to."
This is false. Hebert's defense has asserted - but offered no evidence - that the victim acted aggressively. The law states very clearly that the defensive use of deadly force is justified if the person "reasonably believes" the aggressor "is about to use unlawful, deadly force against the actor or a third person" or use deadly force in the commission of a short list of other crimes. That did not change with the addition of the "stand your ground" clause. That clause simply added the words "or anywhere he or she has the right to be" to the portion of the law describing where such a defense can be used without first attempting to flee. It did not remove the rest of the law requiring the use of deadly force to be a legally justified act of self defense.
Using the term "drive-by shooting" (Hebert was stopped, according to reports), Shurtleff implies that gangland-style killings are now legally justifiable in New Hampshire. They clearly are not, and if the House majority leader really thinks otherwise that is truly shocking.
Shurtleff says opponents of his bill were not truthful when they claimed it would "force people to 'turn and run' from an attack." He then states repeatedly that his bill would make it illegal to use violence if one could "safely remove oneself from an encounter..." In other words, it would require people to "'turn and run' from an attack" if they could. Why would he claim otherwise?
Opponents of New Hampshire's narrowly tailored "stand your ground" law (it is not the confusing mess they have in Florida) have resorted to distortions and misrepresentations about the law's effects since before it was enacted. They cannot make a compelling case for repeal otherwise because the law is not the danger to public safety that they claim it is. This is self-evident. If the law had made New Hampshire less safe, there would be a strong case for scrapping it. Opponents do the public a disservice by falsely claiming that it has.

The Chase Utley situation is an interesting one because of how little we know about the health of his knees. He sounds optimistic, excited even, but he sounded the same way in February when he spoke to reporters at the start of spring training. All offseason, I had wondered how big an issue Utley's health was when it came to the team's planning. After listening to him speak in February, I was close to convinced that he really had passed the challenge, that his knee condition was manageable. This was less than a month before we found out that he would start the season on the disabled list.
So it is impossible to say what to expect out of Utley this time around. He looks strong, that's for sure. But he also missed more time this year than he did last year. Maybe that is because he was determined to come back better than he was when he came back last year. Or maybe it is because his physical problems are more complicated this time around.
One thing is for sure: Utley will improve this offense. Even though his numbers were not at the levels you have come to expect, he was still one of the top hitting second baseman in the majors. He finished Aug. 1 hitting .290/.380/.498 with eight home runs and as many walks as strikeouts in 256 plate appearances. At that point, he looked like Utley. But in his final 45 games he hit just .220/.298/.333 with three home runs in 198 plate appearances. He was one of the Phillies' best (only) hitters in the playoffs.
Make of that what you will. The truth is, none of us know, not even the Phillies or Utley himself. When he is on the field, he will be a vast improvement over the players who had been filling in for him. The unknown question: how long will he be on the field?

Matt Kenseth takes Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor SpeedwayBy Reid Spencer
NASCAR Wire Service
September 22. 2013 6:20PM
LOUDON, N.H.—Was this real or instant replay?
For the second straight week, in the second race of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Matt Kenseth led Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch to the finish line.
The top seed in the Chase, Kenseth won Sunday's Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway as JGR asserted its superiority for the second consecutive week.
Kenseth led a race-high 106 laps in winning for the seventh time this season, for the first time at the Magic Mile and for the 31st time in his career. Winning in his 500th start in the Cup series, Kenseth extended his Chase lead to 14 points over Busch.
Greg Biffle drove from sixth to third after the final restart on Lap 258 of 300. Five-time champion Jimmie Johnson finished fourth, followed by Jamie McMurray and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Kasey Kahne saw his Chase hopes dim when he spun on the frontstretch on Lap 252 and nosed into the inside wall. Kahne came home 37th.
Brian Vickers, the July winner at the 1.058-mile track, started in the rear and finished seventh. Jeff Burton, Carl Edwards and Martin Truex Jr. completed the top 10. Truex led 98 laps but fell back during the final 43-lap green-flag run.

Moderator:Welcome to Medical Breakthroughs from Penn Medicine, advancing medicine through precision diagnostics and novel therapies. Your host is Dr. Lee Freedman.
Dr. Lee Freedman:Oropharyngeal cancer makes up a growing proportion of head and neck malignancies. To some extent, this has been associated with the increase in infection of the oropharynx by oncogenic strains of the Human Papillomavirus, or HPV. Transoral Robotic Surgery, or TORS has allowed for minimally invasive surgery for HPV-related and non-HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer. I am your host, Dr. Lee Freedman and with me today is Dr. Gregory Weinstein, Professor and Vice Chair and the Director of the Division of Head and Neck Surgery. He is also the Co-Director of the Center for Head and Neck Cancer in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Weinstein, welcome to the program.
Dr. Gregory Weinstein:Thanks very much.
Dr. Lee Freedman:Why do we not start very basically with the question, what exactly is TORS?
Dr. Gregory Weinstein:TORS is Transoral Robotic Surgery. Back in 2004, my colleague Bert O'Malley and I began research applying the da Vinci surgical robotic system, which is made by Intuitive Surgical, to tumors and lesions of the throat.
So what TORS is, is it allows the three arms of the robot to be put into the mouth and allows us to resect cancers or benign lesions or benign tumors that, in the past, was required a rather extensive operation to remove, or an alternate nonsurgical treatment, such as radiation or chemoradiation, which in some cases, is not as effective as surgery and so this is what transoral robotic surgery is..Dr. Lee Freedman:So the advantage seems to be that it's much less invasive when you compare it to a traditional surgery?
Dr. Gregory Weinstein:Exactly and these little tools that are at the end of the robotic arms, move exactly like your hands do. So essentially, what it is, you can consider it like miniaturization of your hands and working in the mouth in tight spots that we normally would have trouble getting to
In 2009, the FDA cleared transoral robotic surgery for T1 and T2 malignancies and benign tumors of the throat and last year, the FDA cleared removal of benign tongue-based lesions.
Dr. Lee Freedman:I would imagine this is a skill that needs to be developed. What is the process of learning this technique and how many surgeons across the country are adept at this?
Dr. Gregory Weinstein:So back in 2009, after FDA clearance, it was necessary to do what we call postgraduate surgical training. Postgraduate surgical training means that practicing surgeons who are out there, this is new technology and the new approach, need a way to learn these techniques so that they can, if they choose to, apply them in their practices.
So we began a training program at the University of Pennsylvania, which is done in conjunction with the robotics company and what the training approach has done, is it allows surgeons to get online training on the web and then, inadamant training done in computer packages that are in the console of the robot that they do back at their home hospital. Then, they visit the University of Pennsylvania, spend about eight hours doing a pig lab where they deal with live tissues.
Then the next day, they do have a day of cadaver work with either Bert O'Malley or myself and then, they observe cases the following day in the operating room and watch what we're doing and the OR set up and how we use the instruments and how we do the cases. Then, finally, they go back proctorships for these surgeons in their first couple of cases.
So it's been an approach that has yielded, I think since 2009, over 250 trainings of individual surgeons. Prior to that, we had surgeons coming from around the world, about 50 surgeons, so about 300 surgeons have been trained at the University of Pennsylvania. We're the primary training program in the world for this technology and now, several thousand TORS cases are done annually, worldwide.
Dr. Lee Freedman:Oh, that's fascinating, so a very broad-reaching training program involving many modalities, all based, really, out of your program at the University of Pennsylvania?
Dr. Gregory Weinstein:That would be accurate.
Dr. Lee Freedman:I imagine that this technique results in much lower morbidity. It's been five, six years since it's been approved, do we have efficacy measures for this versus more standard treatments?
Dr. Gregory Weinstein:Well, to get FDA clearance, essentially what we did was, we compared the results… I'll backup for second. Back in 2006, we felt that it was important to get others doing research in transoral robotic surgery. We set up a training program, that was a research training program for 12 surgeons from around the country and this included surgeons from Mayo Clinic, University of Alabama, MD Anderson and Mt. Sinai in New York, from numerous institutions around the country and then, we gave them our research protocol, showed them how to do the surgeries that we were doing back in 2006 and then, encouraged them to do research at all these institutions began research programs.
Ultimately, we pooled the data from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009, the University of Alabama and the Mayo Clinic and with one of my colleagues, Chris Holsinger who was at MD Anderson, now is at Stanford as a Data Safety Manager.
The data from our work was given to the FDA and basically, it compared to historical findings in the literature for standard surgery and for radiation and chemoradiation and was found that on and oncologic level, it was at least equivalent, or better than many modalities and on a functional level, was again, equivalent or better.
If we look specifically oropharyngeal cancer, because oropharyngeal cancer, there has been an epidemic of HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers in the United States and this has been really the home that TORS has found. It really is an excellent treatment modality for tonsil cancer and tongue-based cancer.
If you look at that specifically, the cure rates that have been published in the literature for HPV-related cancers, are over 95 percent using transoral robotic surgery and the key issue is, functional outcomes.
In other words, can the patient still swallow and speak well and the functional outcomes have been outstanding, as well, with a very low, what we call, PEG dependency, when patients can't swallow after an aggressive treatment in their throat, they have to have a stomach tube and the PEG dependency rates have been on the order of less than one percent, or two percent and the same for tracheostomy rates, which is, in some patients, because of swelling, would need that.
Now, when you look at the alternative treatment for oropharyngeal cancer, it's high-dose chemotherapy and radiation, typically, cisplatin-based chemotherapy. New technology doesn't get developed, it doesn't get accepted, it doesn't get adopted by the community, unless the thing it's replacing has problems.
The reason we did this research, particularly on oropharyngeal cancer, was that the standard high-dose chemoradiation is way too intense, by treatment, with significant side effects and the side effects include, a long-term risk of a permanent stomach tube of about 10 percent in the best of hands, if you look at the literature.
Then, in terms of cure rate, we, right now, when we look at this, we say that chemoradiation, that HPV-related cancer is highly curable with chemoradiation, but in fact, if you look at the existing data, if you look at the patients and it's been done, looking at ROTG patients, for instance.
If a patient is a nonsmoker, then, regardless of the stage of the HPV-related cancer, they have about a 93 percent overall survival at three years. If they have a 10-pack year smoking history and they have more than one lymph node in the neck, the cure rate drops down to 67 percent. Then, if they're not HPV-related, the cure rates from chemoradiation at three years are about 47 percent. That's disease-free survival.
Now, if you look at TORS, regardless of HPV status, or smoking status, we published this data recently in Head To Neck Journal, it's over a 95 percent cure rate regardless of whether they were smokers, or numbers of lymph nodes and so forth. So the home that TORS has found, is as an alternative to high-dose chemoradiation.
Dr. Lee Freedman:Very impressive. If you're just tuning in, you're listening Medical Breakthroughs from Penn Medicine on ReachMD. I'm your host Dr. Lee Freedman and I'm speaking with Dr. Gregory Weinstein, Professor and Vice Chair and the Director of the Division of Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Weinstein, let's turn to HPV, what is the connection with HPV and oropharyngeal cancer?
Dr. Gregory Weinstein:There's a number of HPV-related viruses. The one that causes head and neck cancer tends to be HPV 16 and HPV 18, but mostly HPV 16. If you look at the CDC website, 50 million Americans have been exposed HPV virus.
Now, normally what happens with the virus, it gets integrated into the cell and takes over the DNA mechanism, reproduces itself as viral capsid, destroys the cell and then is dispersed and is infectious and moves on.
Well, with HPV and this kind of oncologic virus, in some patients, the virus gets integrated into the DNA of the cell and automatically turns itself off from replicating and then, resides there, not being infectious, because really, the infectious point appears to be about six months to a year and then, it's not longer infectious, but in some patients, it's integrated itself into the DNA and then, kind of resides there for decades and then, several decades later, anywhere from 20 to 40 years later, these cancers start to show up.
This is the same virus that causes cervical cancer, but unlike in women, we don't have a Pap Smear yet or early detection method for finding these cancers. So the way these cancers tend to be found is when the patient develops a lymph node in the neck because they tend to be silent and relatively small in the throat.So really, the way they're showing up is by a lymph node, which automatically makes it stage 3 and stage 4, but still is very highly curable because the primary sites are mostly T1 and T2, they're perfectly amenable to transoral robotic surgery.
Dr. Lee Freedman:And when we say de-intensification for this type of process, what does that mean?
Dr. Gregory Weinstein:So, you know, it's very interesting, you know the Pub Med database, which has 24 million entries, it's our Google, right, doctors Google for looking up articles, if you put the word de-intensification into Pub Med, 26 articles come up, that was about a few weeks ago when I was checking before the lecture I gave, I was just curious, 20 out of the 26 articles are related to high-dose chemoradiation for oropharyngeal cancer. It boggles the mind. There are 24 million entries and the only treatment that is considered so intense that the term de-intensification pulls up almost all the articles is high-dose chemoradiation for oropharyngeal cancer.
So what our goal is, is to try and de-intensify the amount of radiation we're giving to people and less chemotherapy because high-dose radiation has to be given in a wide field when you haven't done the surgery, with high doses and has to be given in conjunction with chemotherapy, which also increases the toxicity in the throat.
Then, the delicate muscles of swallowing can be damaged so that patients can have real difficulty swallowing long-term. So when we say de-intensification, but we mean is, do the surgery, they heal, they do very well, then, we want to decrease the radiation dose for the primary site into the neck, avoid chemotherapy in about 40% of patients and then, decrease the total dosage and field size that we do at the primary site said this de-intensifies the treatment.
It doesn't have collateral damage to the swallowing muscles, so that's really important because these cancers, which by the way, essentially are caused by normal sexual behavior, these cancers tend to occur in 40 to 60 year age group. They tend to be healthy people that are physically fit and are very health conscious, frequently have either quit smoking in the distant past, or don't smoke at all. It's a real, what happened here, I did everything right. I was eating right. I'm exercising, an otherwise healthy people.
Now, if you take that group of patients and then, you give them an incredibly intense treatment that damages their swallowing function, it really has a negative impact on quality of life and they have a lot of living to do because it's a highly curable cancer. The goal is to de-intensify. Now, there's other ways that are being looked at to de-intensify with other chemotherapy and radiation regimens, but TORS is FDA cleared, 20 percent of patients avoid radiation entirely. This is a viable method for providing the de-intensification for our patients.
Dr. Lee Freedman:Absolutely. From what you said, the efficacy is excellent and you avoid all the morbidity of those other very intense treatments.
Dr. Gregory Weinstein:Well, not necessarily all the morbidity because 80 percent of patients are still getting radiation, but you decrease the morbidity.
Dr. Lee Freedman:I stand corrected, you decrease it. Absolutely. Now, as we look ahead Dr. Weinstein, what do you see for the future of TORS?
Dr. Gregory Weinstein:Well, right now, there's a couple things going on. There's a number of trials around the world looking at even further de-intensification. There's an NCI-funded trial from ECOG, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group. I'm the Director of Surgical Quality on that study.
What that study is looking at is patients go through transoral surgery, primarily, transoral robotic surgery and then, if they're kind of intermediate group, they get randomized between 5,000 versus 6,000 rounds, which is an opportunity to lower the dose. Typically, when patients have extra capsular spread, or cancer spread outside the lymph node, which is discovered when we remove the lymph nodes, as part of this surgical paradigm, they typically get chemo and radiation.
In our study, National Multi Institutional Trial, we are avoiding chemotherapy in the groups that have minimal extra capsular spread. So this is a way of de-intensifying treatment. There's an in-house study at the University of Pennsylvania where we are also not radiating the primary site at all, if patients don't have any high-risk features. So they go for the surgery and if they have neck indications for radiation, which is multiple positive lymph nodes, or cancer spreading outside the node, then, they would get radiation or chemoradiation, but we would block out the primary site entirely.
We know this is safe because we published data showing that in patients who don't get radiation at all after transoral robotic surgery, the risk of recurrence at the primary site is only about two percent.
In our cohort that didn't get radiated, the cure rate is incredibly high with a two to four percent recurrence rate, we saved radiation. Remember, radiation can only be given to one body part per lifetime, generally speaking. Sometimes, we re-radiate, but as a last resort.
So now, if we've kept radiation on the side, if they are even that small group that does recur, we can still use radiation or chemoradiation if we choose to, so that group does particularly well. This is another study that's being done. There are new iterations of the robot that are coming out.
The first robot we began with was called a da Vinci Standard. I mean, that's the equivalent, back in 1991 when I arrived at Penn and the computer program was DOS. Then, we moved our way up to the first Windows program, which is a da Vinci S and now, there's the SI and the XI, which isn't used for transoral robotic surgery, but on the horizon is the da Vinci SP, which is a single port system in which small tools come out of one inch and a half port and give an even better access to the throat. So these are all exciting things on the horizon.
Dr. Lee Freedman:Well, I very much want to thank Dr. Gregory Weinstein for educating us about transoral robotic surgery, relatively new technique, developed at Penn Medicine that has equal or improved efficacy over standard approaches and the ability to drastically reduce morbidity from other types of treatments that patients with this problem have negated in the past.
Again, Dr. Weinstein, thank you so much.
Dr. Gregory Weinstein:You're very welcome. Thank you.

Oropharyngeal cancer is part of a growing proportion of head and neck malignancies. This has also been associated with the increase in infection of the oropharynx by oncogenic strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). And, transoral robotic surgery, or TORS, has allowed for minimally invasive surgery for HPV-related and non-HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer. To discuss this topic and much more, host Dr. Lee Freedman welcomes Dr. Gregory Weinstein, Professor and Vice Chair and the Director of the Division of Head and Neck Surgery. He is also the Co-Director of The Center for Head and Neck Cancer in The Department of Otorhinolaryngology: Head and Neck Surgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
The better your site structure, the better your chance of higher ranking in the search engines. Every website has some "structure." It might be a rigorous and streamlined structure, or it may be a disorganized jumble of pages. If you are intentional and careful with your site structure, you will create a site that achieves search excellence.
In this article, I share some of the best advice on creating a powerful site structure. The tips below will help you create a site that appeals to users, gets crawled and indexed by spiders, and delivers the best SERP listings and rankings possible.
As I've worked with hundreds of clients over the years, I've been surprised at how often site structure is overlooked. On the one hand, it's one of the most crucial aspects of a site's SEO performance, but on the other hand, few webmasters and owners understand what it means to have a site structure that enhances SEO.
I'm going to share a few of the reasons why site structure is so crucial, and then get into the how-to of developing your own SEO-friendly site structure.
When you take away the colors, the fonts, the kerning, the graphics, the images, and the white space, good site design is really about a great structure.
The human mind craves cognitive equilibrium — being able to put pieces logically together, finding things where they're expected, and locating what they are seeking. Thus, a strong and logical site structure is cognitively satisfying to users.
As you know, the more appealing your site to users, the more appealing it is to search engines, too. Google's algorithm uses information from searchers to rank your site. If your site has poor CTRs and low dwell time, it will not perform well in the SERPs. By contrast, when a user finds a site that they like — i.e. a site with great structure — they don't bounce and they stay longer. An accurate site structure can reduce bounce rate and improve dwell time, both of which will lead to improved rankings.
Sitelinks are a listing format in the SERPs that show your site's main page along with several internal links indented below. You've seen them before.
Sitelinks are a huge SEO advantage. They increase the navigability of your site, point users to the most relevant information, increase your brand's reputation, improve user trust, help you dominate SERPs, increase clickthrough rate, and shorten the conversion funnel. Basically, sitelinks are awesome.
But how do you get sitelinks? You don't simply go to Google Webmaster Tools and fill in a few fields on a form. You can't issue a sitelink request. Instead, Google's algorithm automatically awards websites with sitelinks. And they do so based on great site structure.
If you have a poor site structure, it's very likely that your site will never receive site links. The absence of sitelinks could be costing your site more targeted traffic, higher CTR, and increased conversions.
Web crawlers like Googlebot crawl a website's structure. Their goal is to index the content in order to return it in search results. The better your site structure, the easier the crawlers can access and index the content.
Crawler's don't automatically discover on your website. Google even admits, "[there are] pages on your site we might not…discover," or "URLs that may not be discoverable by Google's normal crawling process." (That's one of the reasons why Sitemaps are necessary.) However, crawlers will have a far easier time accessing, crawling, indexing, and returning the pages of a site with strong structure.
To sum up, your site's organization paves the way for SEO success. In fact, it could be argued, that without a good site structure, you will never have SEO success. Strong site structure gives your site an unbreakable SEO foundation that will provide you with vast amounts of organic search.
Now, I'll tell you how to create this kind of site structure.
If you're starting a website from scratch, you're in a great position to plan out site structure for the best SEO possible. Even before you start creating pages in a CMS, plan out your structure. You can do it on a whiteboard, a spreadsheet program (Excel, Google Drive Spreadsheets), most word processors, or something like Visio or OmniGraffle.
A "hierarchy" is nothing more than a way to organize your information — something that is simple and makes sense. Your hierarchy will also become your navigation and your URL structure, so everything important begins here.
Generally, a site hierarchy looks like this:
There are a few features of hierarchy that you should keep in mind.
A site hierarchy is the beginning point for a great site structure.
The second main element in developing strong site structure is your URL structure. If you've logically thought through your hierarchy, this shouldn't be too difficult. Your URL structure follows your hierarchy.
So, let's say your hierarchy looks like this:
The URL structure for the Chinatown location would look like this:
Your URL structure will be organized according to your site hierarchy. This means, obviously, that your URLs will have real words (not symbols) and appropriate keyword coverage.
When you create your navigation, keep the coding simple. HTML and CSS are your safest approach. Coding in JavaScript, Flash, and Ajax will limit the crawler's ability to cover your site's well-thought out navigation and hierarchy.
Your navigation structure will obviously follow your site hierarchy. Make sure that pages, especially important ones, aren't buried too deep within the site. Shallow sites work better, both from a usability and crawler perspective, as noted in this Search Engine Journal article:
Your top header should list out your main pages. That's it. My website, Neilpatel.com uses a very simple top navigational header with three subcategories. This accomplishes everything I need.
Adding any other menu elements apart from your main categories can become distracting and unnecessary. If you've designed a parallax site, be sure to provide a persistent header menu that displays through each scrolling phase.
While dropdown menus using CSS effects or disappearing menus may provide a unique or intriguing user experience, they do not enhance SEO. I advise against them. I also advise against using an image-based navigational structure. Text links with appropriate anchors provide the strongest form of SEO.
If you have a footer with menu links, be sure to duplicate the main links of your top navigational menu in your footer navigation menu. Changing the order of links or adding additional category listing will complicate the user experience.
Internal linking puts meat on the bones of a logical site hierarchy. Moz's article on internal links lists three reasons why they are important:
Each of these is directly tied to creating a tight-knit and well-integrated site structure.
There's no need to get complicated with internal linking. The basic idea is that every page on your website should have some link and some link another page on the website. Your navigation should accomplish internal linking to the main categories and subcategory pages, but you should also make sure that leaf-level pages have internal linking as well.
Internal linking tells the search engines what pages are important, and how to get there. The more internal linking you have across all pages, the better.
Site structure is a product of careful thinking, intentional design, and accurate organization. The best time to develop a strong site stricture is before you create your site. However, if you're redesigning your site, you can rework the design and reorganize some navigational elements to improve structural SEO.
There are a lot of things to keep in mind when optimizing your site for search engines. Site structure is one of the most important, but one of the most-overlooked optimization methods. If you have a great site structure, then great SEO will follow.

I am en route home after a couple of days of board meetings at Dartmouth. Hanover was beautiful as always, but unseasonably cold. When I was on campus last fall, I noted a small "occupy" presence in the form of a tent next to Hanover's main intersection. This visit, I was pleased to see that the local occupiers had closed up shop for good, leaving behind this permanently unoccupied tent:
Remember the predictions that when the weather warmed up in the spring, the Occupiers would be back out in force? Not so much, as it turned out. An unoccupied occupy tent strikes me as a fitting epitaph for a movement (or pseudo-movement) that died out right around the time it became clear that it was an embarrassment to the Democratic Party.
Some things, happily, never change: while there were no occupiers in evidence, hundreds of students and others gathered on the Green to watch a lumberjack skills competition sponsored by the Dartmouth Outing Club and Stihl power tools. When I passed by, a woodchopping contest was in progress. I thought it would be safest to keep walking:

Eric Clapton, in concert at the Royal Albert Hall, on DVD: What more is there for a Clapton fan?
The 24 Nights Concert is the greatest concert Clapton has ever given. His solos are unbelievable (esp. on "Bad Love" and "Old Love") and the various arrangement add interesting depth to Clapton's already strong music.
Naturally, such a superior collection of music and an assemblage of musical talent is conveyed to the viewer with the latest and greatest of audio and video technology. The superb video quality and the LPCM audio (no Dolby Digital or DTS compression here!) brings out all Clapton's music and talent has to offer.
I highly recommend this DVD to anyone with even a slight interest in Clapton and his music.
It is a truly great work.

Subcommittee Chairman Richard Hudson (R-NC) on the hearing: "The long-term success of TSA's Screening Partnership Program (SPP) is a priority for many Members of Congress and stakeholders around the country who understand the private sector is highly capable of providing efficient and effective screening services. Unfortunately, TSA's actions over the last few years prove it does not share this goal. This hearing is an opportunity to examine the problems currently within the program and encourage TSA to take steps to enable more airports to choose private sector screening. This begins with an accurate accounting of the difference in costs between Federal and private screening and closer collaboration between TSA and industry stakeholders. I look forward to discussing these and many other issues with our witnesses to ensure the program is working and prepared to expand to additional airports."

Protecting the Homeland from Nuclear and Radiological Threats
311 Cannon House Office Building
Witnesses Include:
- Dr. Huban Gowadia, Director, Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, U.S. Department of Homeland Security
- Mr. David C. Trimble, Director, Natural Resources and Environment, U.S. Government Accountability Office
Subcommittee Chairman Patrick Meehan (R-PA) on the hearing: "A nuclear or radiological attack on American home soil is a nightmare scenario. The Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) within the Department of Homeland Security is responsible for our ability to detect a nuclear or radiological device before it reaches our shores. With the rise of terrorist safe havens in the Middle East and their increasing level of sophistication, it is vitally important that DHS and DNDO are properly prepared to combat a growing threat. I look forward to hearing from Dr. Gowadia about the progress DNDO has made over the past several years and how the Committee can further assist in this effort to protect America from radiological and nuclear terrorism."

How to Choose a Catholic Missal
Choosing a Catholic Missal
Novus Ordo /Post-Vatican II Missals
Gregorian Missal for Sundays – Has the ordinary of the Mass, and various prayers of the Mass in Latin and English and contains all the Gregorian chants for Sundays. Includes text for special Masses (i.e. for the dead, for the pope). This does not have weekday Masses and hasn't been updated with the revised Mass translation.
Vatican II Sunday and Weekday Missals – Contains all the readings for Sundays for the three year cycle, as well the Ordinary of the Mass and a treasury of prayers. Perpetual. The calendar with page numbers for the Mass are printed on the inside cover. This missal is now out of print but is being replaced with the Saint Paul Sunday Missal.
The Saint Paul Missal is Pauline Books and Media replacement for the Vatican II Missal that they previously produced. The new edition is available in Burgundy or Black and comes in both a Sunday and Daily variety.
Tridentine / Pre-Vatican II Missals
New Marian Missal – a daily missal, for use on both Sundays and weekdays. A reprint of the 1958 edition, it does not contain the 1962 updates.

Man, dog hurt in Londonderry crash
January 26. 2013 10:51AM
LONDONDERRY — Police are crediting two Good Samaritans for freeing a man trapped in his burning vehicle after a crash Saturday morning.
The man had to be airlifted to a Boston hospital, and his dog was taken to a Manchester veterinarian for treatment of injuries suffered in the crash, police said.
According to a press release, police were called to the area of 393 Mammoth Road for a motor vehicle crash at 6:18 a.m. and found a vehicle on fire with the driver trapped inside. A Londonderry man, identified as Earl Wickline, was using a fire extinguisher he had gotten from a local resident to try to put out the flames.
Police Sgt. Patrick Cheetham and Officers Jake King and Adam Lane helped Wickline and another Good Samaritan, Apryl Norris of Londonderry, free the driver from the vehicle, according to the release.
Londonderry fire department personnel helped transport the injured man to the parking lot of St. Jude Church on Mammoth Road, where he was taken by Boston Med-Flight to Brigham and Women's Hospital.
His condition is not known and police are not releasing his name until his family is notified.
Police said an initial investigation indicates the man was driving southbound on Mammoth Road when the vehicle veered off the northbound shoulder and into a tree. Police noted the roadway did have a layer of snow at the time but it was unknown if that contributed to the crash.

Difference between revisions of "Real-time PCR"

Revision as of 13:03, 26 March 2007
Quantitative PCR (Q-PCR or qPCR) also known as real-time PCR is used to quantify starting amounts of nucleic acid template by analysing the amount of DNA produced during each cycle of PCR. The detection techniques include dsDNA dyes like SYBR Green and DNA probe. The cycling step is often preceded by reverse transcription to detect RNA via their cDNA. In fact, mRNA quantification is one of the most frequent uses. The sub-technique sometimes carries the bulky label QRT-PCR or even longer names.
Amplification of DNA is exponential in the early and middle cycles of a PCR (i.e. it is linear on a logarithmic scale). This property can be exploited to infer the starting amount of PCR template (see diagram in Hunt tutorial). During the exponential or log phase each copy of DNA is being amplified, and thus can be a better measure than in endpoint PCR, where reagents such a nucleotides may become exhausted and result in inefficient amplification, resulting in inaccurate quantitation of the gene of interest.
Quantitative PCR is more precise than previously used reverse transcription PCR (RT PCR) because the generation of product is continuously monitored during the PCR run (this is where the term "real time" comes in), rather than at the end of a PCR reaction ("endpoint" PCR). Generation of product is detected using fluorescent markers such as the DNA binding dye SYBR Green. The intensity of fluorescence is proportional to the quantity of DNA present in the reaction.
Primer selection
An excellent and fast way to select primers is with the free online-tool Primer3, currently in v0.3. Primer3Plus, a variation of Primer3 has qPCR settings. Or just apply the following or similar settings to Primer3:
- pair towards 3' end (often more specific, some cDNAs don't contain)
- pair separated by an exon-exon boundary (reduces genomic background) e.g. last exon & penultimate
- amplified region must be no biger than 200 bp; usally 60-150 bp
- GC content: 50-60%
- min length: 18, max length 24 (best: 20 nt)
- melting temperature: min 60, max 63, best 60
- max Tm difference: 10 (shouldn't be more than 1 in final pair)
- max 3' self complementary: 1
- max poly-x: 3
Verify by blasting the primers sequences. Target gene should come out with the lowerst E value. No other gene should be close. Also check whether possible isoforms will be detected by the candidate primer pair.
Primer repositories
RTPrimerDB is an excellent database storing known primer and probe sequences for popular techniques (SYBR Green I, Taqman, Hybridisation Probes, Molecular Beacon). This can help you save the time of designing and testing your own primers. It is also intended to facilitate standardisation among different laboratories. The database is hosted by the Center for Medical Genetics, Gent, Belgium. Please submit you tested primer pairs.
RealTimePrimers.org is another such database but it contains only few primers.

- Endy:Real-time_RT-PCR protocol is in progress
- Real-time RT-PCR
Reference mRNAs
A mRNA used as reference or standard of a Q-PCR (and other experiments) should have the following properties:
- expressed in all cells
- constant copy number in all cells
- medium copy number for more accuracy
Common reference mRNAs linked to known mouse primer pairs:
- β-actin (common cytoskeletal enzyme) [1], [2]
- glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase GAPDH (common metabolic enzyme) [3], [4]
- ribosomal proteins (e.g. RPLP0) and RNAs (28S or 18S)
- cyclophilin mRNA
- MHC I (major histocompatibility complex I)
Search RTPrimerDB and check the literature before doing it from scratch.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — After being turned down by many investors over the last four years, South Korean film producer Choi Yong-bae said it feels strange and exciting that his revenge film about a notorious South Korean president blamed for the massacre of democracy protesters is finally coming to life through online donations.
Finding film investors is a tough shot even for a seasoned producer such as Choi, the chief executive of Chungeorahm Film, who made his name in South Korea's film industry with several box office hits.
But Choi argued that it was for more than business reasons that corporate investors shunned the movie "26 Years."
"Some said their companies can't invest in such a politically sensitive movie ahead of the presidential election this year. Others initially said yes but then changed their mind without giving any reasons," he said.
Taking inspiration from a popular online cartoon released in 2006, the action thriller blends fiction and recent South Korean history as its protagonists try to assassinate former strongman Chun Doo-hwan who took power through a coup against a rival military faction in 1979. The movie is set 26 years after soldiers used deadly force to crush an uprising in Gwangju city against Chun's authoritarian rule in May 1980.
Since then, the country has been remade as a thriving and prosperous democracy but not far beneath the surface of South Korea's success story is a tale of justice not fully served. Many of those viewed as responsible for the massacre are still alive today and occupy privileged positions in South Korean society.
After buying the film rights in 2006, Choi said he made unsuccessful investment pitches to the top four entertainment companies in South Korea, which together account for more than 90 percent of the country's film investment and distribution. Investment funds and venture capitalists also refused to back him. It was earlier this year that Choi's production company set up a crowdfunding website for "26 Years."
"I was certain that people who read the original cartoon and people who were aware of the history wanted to see this movie," Choi told The Associated Press in a recent interview. "So I wanted to actually confirm that and resume the movie making through their support."
In less than three months, more than 12,000 people gave nearly 450 million won ($404,000) in exchange for movie tickets and small gifts, helping the film finally get off the ground. The donations continue to grow by word of mouth and social media.
Even though donations are only a small portion of the 4.6 billion won ($4.1 million) budget for the movie, the crowdfunding project created enough buzz to lure some deep-pocketed individuals and nearly 90 percent of the entire budget has been secured. The movie is set to be released at the end of November, just a few weeks before South Korea's presidential election.
The amount raised through the online donations is comparable with other movies financed by other crowdfunding websites. Kickstarter, a popular website where people ask for many to finance creative projects in areas from technology to theatre, lists an animated film by Charlie Kaufmann as the most-funded movie, raising $406,237 from 5,770 backers.
Choi's "26 Years" is not the first movie about the bloody pro-democracy movement in Gwangju, in which more than 150 were killed, according to the May 18 Memorial Foundation; the date in the name marks the start of the uprising. CJ Entertainment, which provided nearly one third of the money invested in South Korean commercial films in 2011, was a key investor for a hit 2007 movie about the Gwangju movement.
The earlier movies have focused on the suffering of the families of victims while the main theme in "26 Years" is retaliation against those responsible for the Gwangju massacre.
"One of the biggest reasons that it isn't easy to find an investor is that the movie is about punishment," said Kim Nak-ho, a Korean comics researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "While other Gwangju-related movies focused on victims' suffering, this thriller shows people who retaliate against Chun and his collaborators."
In real life, Chun was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Supreme Court for mutiny, treason charges over the coup and the Gwangju crackdown. After receiving a presidential pardon in 1997, the 81-year-old lives in a heavily guarded house in northwestern Seoul.
Chun's refusal to return hundreds of millions of dollars allegedly collected from slush funds and news reports about his extravagant golf trips stir anger among many South Koreans. Whether taxpayer money should be used to protect Chun's residence is a subject of heated debate and also a reminder that South Koreans have not fully come to terms with Gwangju.
Choi said the original cartoon struck a chord with those South Koreans who believe that Chun showed no sign of repentance.
"The cartoon criticizes the current society. Because South Korea did not fully punish those responsible for the massacre, victims have no choice but to take revenge into their hands," Choi said.
Some "26 Years" donors said they felt indebted to Gwangju citizens who risked their lives for democracy.
"Gwangju citizens made the biggest contributions but they have not won recognition," said South Korean Song In-keun who lives in Cambridge, Mass. "I made a donation believing that it was a way of paying back my debt to Gwangju."

There were plenty of excellent games released in 2012, but few have held our attention for quite as long as the latest entry to the Football Manager franchise on the PC. More in-depth than it's ever been and with an improved 3D graphics engine to boot, FM 2013 is perhaps the only game that has been played almost every day since its launch.
However, we can't stay at home every day of our lives. There have to be moments when we leave the house, travel to work, that kind of thing. And for those times, there is...
Football Manager Handheld 2013
- Format
- iPad (version tested), iPhone, iPod touch, Android
- Price
- £6.99
- Where
- iTunes, Google Play
Those expecting radical changes from the previous instalment of Sports Interactive's mobile management game will initially be disappointed. But such a fickle nature is ill advised, because it is not a complete overhaul that makes Football Manager Handheld 2013 so darn good, but inspired tweaks and rejigs.
That's not to say that there aren't some major additions to the most popular footy management franchise -there certainly are - just that Sports Interactive and the trustworthy hand of Marc Vaughan, head of Handheld Development, have yet again successfully adhered to the adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Regular FM fans will notice that there are two new playable leagues in the guise of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and, of course, all the league and player data has been updated to match the 2012/13 season currently in progress.
The news feed section has a fair few new entries that can appear over a career, and the Android version has been released at the same time as its iOS counterpart.
However, one aesthetic change that you will notice almost immediately is that - as its PC stablemate has benefited from for a while - player profiles screens now feature their real-life faces. As do player comparison pages, which are another addition this year.
Unfortunately, not all players in the game are represented with their gurning mugshots. Sadly, as in the PC/Mac game, only licensed leagues get player pictures. Others, such as the Premier League, do not. Nor do they get club crests for the teams on league table and fixture screens. It's a shame, but them's the breaks. We'd rather have some than none.
Also making their debut are in-app purchases. These will no doubt be less well received than other new features, but do allow you, effectively, to cheat. If the game is too hard for you, you can buy power-ups with real cash, such as expand your stadium or attract a chairman laden with in-game wonga. It's not something we'd partake in ourselves, as it spoils the purity of the experience for us, but we're sure there will be plenty to cough up for a leg up.
Real cash can also be exchanged for additional challenge modes. There are four challenges available when you start the game - set goals you must achieve to win - with another three locked at the start. You can either pay to unlock them immediately, or they will be available for free should you finish each of the former challenges in order.
Other minor changes include the ability to choose a captain (yeah, we were surprised you couldn't do that before too) and move players from your reserve team to the main squad. The rest is very similar to before, still offering a super speedy, yet thought-out and in-depth management game.
It also works across a wide variety of devices, with developer SI Games explaining to Pocket-lint recently that ensuring it is as compatible with the original iPad is as important as it is the latest. It's also available for the PSP for perhaps the last time. This version will also work on the PS Vita.
If there's one criticism it's the price; £6.99 is a lot to pay for a mobile application when compared to the average of around £1.49. But in Football Manager Handheld 2013 you really do get what you paid for. This is not a game that you'll play for ten minutes and then discard willy-nilly when the mood takes you, like a Chelsea manager, for instance. This is a game you will revisit the entire year until the next instalment comes out.

About Simmons & Burke
Case Simmons and Andrew Burke, known together by the moniker Simmons & Burke, have been collaborating since 2006 to create their multi-sensory collages, typically composed of visual and audio components. Simmons received his training at the San Francisco Art Institute while Burke studied at the Oberlin Conservatory and Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. Together, they scour the internet and collect images and sound clips, which they aggregate into overwhelming experiences. A collaged image might contain over 15,000 individual images, while an audio piece might be a multi-layered composition of fragmented sounds taken from recordings of the street, music, and television chatter. The artists have said that the overarching theme of this sensory overload is the contemporary state of the information age: "We like the idea of making a Frankensteinian world that is both overwhelming and quieting."

Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin called on his episcopal colleagues to take responsibility for the Irish Catholic Church's failures in dealing with child sexual abuse by priests. "Without accountability for the past there will be no healing and no trust for the future," Archbishop Martin told reporters on March 20 following Mass at St. Mary's Pro-Cathedral in Dublin after Pope Benedict XVI's pastoral letter to Irish Catholics on the abuse crisis was released.
Just a few days later, on March 24, the Vatican announced that the pope had accepted the resignation offered on March 9 by Bishop John Magee of Cloyne. Magee, 73, had served as personal secretary to three popes. He was accused in a 2009 investigation of mishandling reports of sexual abuse in his diocese. Four other Irish bishops had offered their resignations to the pope in December because of their mishandling of sexual abuse of children by clerics. The pope has accepted only one of these resignations.
Cardinal Sean Brady of Armagh, Northern Ireland, has been under pressure to resign since he admitted on March 14 that he had been aware of allegations of abuse against a priest as early as 1975 and did not report them to police. Cardinal Brady has apologized, but he has resisted calls for his resignation.
Archbishop Martin described the pope's letter as "part of a strategy of renewal of the church." Many people "felt it was much stronger than expected," he said. Asked why the pope did not make any reference to a Vatican role in the crisis in Ireland, Archbishop Martin said the responsibility "very much" fell on the Irish church. "The Vatican had produced the norms of canon law and they weren't respected in the management of these cases," he said.
The pope's letter was read in full during Masses on March 20 and 21 in parishes across Ireland. Copies were snapped up quickly by parishioners.
During his homily on March 20, Archbishop Martin said: "The church tragically failed many of its children: it failed through abuse; it failed through not preventing abuse; it failed through covering up abuse." He said: "Child protection measures need to be constantly updated; more participation of lay men and women is needed to avoid a false culture of clericalism. We need to develop a fresh idea of what childhood means; we need to develop a strong horror of what childhood-lost means."
"We must face the truth of the past," the archbishop said, "repent it; make good the damage done. And yet we must move forward day by day along the painful path of renewal, knowing that it is only when our human misery encounters face-to-face the liberating mercy of God that our church will be truly restored and enriched."
Reaction from abuse victims to the papal letter was mixed. John Kelly of the Irish Survivors of Child Abuse said the letter represented a long-overdue apology from the pope. "We are fed up being victims and don't want to remain victims," Kelly said. "This letter is a possible step to closure, and we owe it to ourselves to study it and to give it a measured response."
But Maeve Lewis, the executive director of the victims group One in Four, said she was deeply disappointed by the letter "for passing up a glorious opportunity to address the core issue in the clerical sexual abuse scandal: the deliberate policy of the Catholic Church at the highest levels to protect sex offenders."
She said, "While we welcome the pope's direction that the church leadership cooperate with the civil authorities in relation to sexual abuse...we feel the letter falls far short of addressing the concerns of the victims."
