Dover, DE – A match-up of top five teams lived up to its billing as the #4 University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team held on to an early lead on the way to a 32-25 victory over #3 Wesley College. UMHB avenges back-to-back NCAA National Quarterfinals to the Wolverines and improves to 2-0 on the year with the victory. The loss drops Wesley to 2-1 on the year.
The Cru took a 3-0 lead on Chad Peevey's 22-yard field goal with 9:14 remaining in the first quarter. Justin Sottilare hit Matt Barile with a 14-yard scoring pass to give Wesley a 6-3 lead with 5:06 on the clock in the first period. UMHB would retake the lead on LiDarral Bailey's two-yard TD run eight seconds into the second quarter and pushed the lead to 12-6 on a safety with 11:51 left in the first half. Bailey hit Darius Wilson with a 16-yard scoring pass to make it 19-6 with 2:37 to go in the first half. Wesley would close to 19-13 on Sottilare's 22-yard strike to Steven Koudossou with just 1:07 left in the half.
Chris Cummins would score on a one-yard run early in the third to tie the game at 19, but a missed extra point kept the Wolverines from taking the lead. Wilson and Bailey hooked up for a 13-yard TD with 8:27 left in the third and Bailey's one-yard run on fourth down gave the Cru a 32-19 lead with 2:31 left in the third. Wesley would cut it to 32-25 on Sottilare's 15-yard pass to Barile with 8:24 left to play. UMHB would force a turnover and two punts from there to preserve the victory.
Bailey finished 16-26 for 138 yards and two scores and Wilson ran for 84 yards on 24 totes. Wilson also caught six passes for 76 yards and two TD's. Javicz Jones led the Cru with eight tackles and Silvio Diaz added 3.0 sacks. UMHB held Wesley to -4 rushing yards and 290 yards of total offense.
Sottilare was 27-44 for 294 yards and three scores. Koudossou caught eight passes for 117 yards and Barile caught seven balls for 115. Wesley turned the ball over twice and gave up 320 yards of offense to the Cru.
The Cru will return to action with a 6:00 PM kickoff at Trinity University next Saturday in San Antonio. Wesley will travel to Pineville, Louisiana to face Louisiana College next Saturday night.

peritonitis(redirected from biliary peritonitis, bile peritonitis)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia.
Peritonitis is an inflammation of the membrane which lines the inside of the abdomen and all of the internal organs. This membrane is called the peritoneum.
Peritonitis may be primary (meaning that it occurs spontaneously, and not as the result of some other medical problem) or secondary (meaning that it results from some other condition). It is most often due to infection by bacteria, but may also be due to some kind of a chemical irritant (such as spillage of acid from the stomach, bile from the gall bladder and biliary tract, or enzymes from the pancreas during the illness called pancreatitis). Peritonitis has even been seen in patients who develop a reaction to the cornstarch used to powder gloves worn during surgery. Peritonitis with no evidence of bacteria, chemical irritant, or foreign body has occurred in such diseases as systemic lupus erythematosus, porphyria, and familial Mediterranean fever. When the peritoneum is contaminated by blood, the blood can both irritate the peritoneum and serve as a source of bacteria to cause an infection. Blood may leak into the abdomen due to a burst tubal pregnancy, an injury, or bleeding after surgery.
Causes and symptoms
Primary peritonitis usually occurs in people who have an accumulation of fluid in their abdomens (ascites). Ascites is a common complication of severe cirrhosis of the liver (a disease in which the liver grows increasingly scarred and dysfunctional). The fluid that accumulates creates a good environment for the growth of bacteria.
Secondary peritonitis most commonly occurs when some other medical condition causes bacteria to spill into the abdominal cavity. Bacteria are normal residents of a healthy intestine, but they should have no way to escape and enter the abdomen, where they could cause an infection. Bacteria can infect the peritoneum due to conditions in which a hole (perforation) develops in the stomach (due to an ulcer eating its way through the stomach wall) or intestine (due to a large number of causes, including a ruptured appendix or a ruptured diverticulum). Bacteria can infect the peritoneum due to a severe case of pelvic inflammatory disease (a massive infection of the female organs, including the uterus and fallopian tubes). Bacteria can also escape into the abdominal cavity due to an injury that causes the intestine to burst, or an injury to an internal organ which bleeds into the abdominal cavity.
Symptoms of peritonitis include fever and abdominal pain. An acutely ill patient usually tries to lie very still, because any amount of movement causes excruciating pain. Often, the patient lies with the knees bent, to decrease strain on the tender peritoneum. There is often nausea and vomiting. The usual sounds made by the active intestine and heard during examination with a stethoscope will be absent, because the intestine usually stops functioning. The abdomen may be rigid and boardlike. Accumulations of fluid will be notable in primary peritonitis due to ascites. Other signs and symptoms of the underlying cause of secondary peritonitis may be present.
A diagnosis of peritonitis is usually based on symptoms. Discovering the underlying reason for the peritonitis, however, may require some work. A blood sample will be drawn in order to determine the white blood cell count. Because white blood cells are produced by the body in an effort to combat foreign invaders, the white blood cell count will be elevated in the case of an infection. A long, thin needle can be used to take a sample of fluid from the abdomen in an effort to diagnose primary peritonitis. The types of immune cells present are usually characteristic in this form of peritonitis. X-ray films may be taken if there is some suspicion that a perforation exists. In the case of a perforation, air will have escaped into the abdomen and will be visible on the picture. When a cause for peritonitis cannot be found, an open exploratory operation on the abdomen (laparotomy) is considered to be a crucial diagnostic procedure, and at the same time provides the opportunity to begin treatment.
Treatment depends on the source of the peritonitis, but an emergency laparotomy is usually performed. Any perforated or damaged organ is usually repaired at this time. If a clear diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease or pancreatitis can be made, however, surgery is not usually performed. Peritonitis from any cause is treated with antibiotics given through a needle in the vein, along with fluids to prevent dehydration.
Prognosis for untreated peritonitis is poor, usually resulting in death. With treatment, the prognosis is variable, dependent on the underlying cause.
There is no way to prevent peritonitis, since the diseases it accompanies are usually not under the voluntary control of an individual. However, prompt treatment can prevent complications.

Perforation — A hole.
Peritoneum — The membrane that lines the inside of the abdominal cavity, and all of the internal organs.
inflammation of the peritoneum.
Acute Peritonitis. Acute peritonitis may be produced by inflammation of abdominal organs, by irritating substances from a perforated gallbladder or gastric ulcer, by rupture of a cyst, or by irritation from blood, as in cases of internal bleeding.
Symptoms and Diagnosis. Immediate and intense pain is felt at the site of infection, followed usually by fever, vomiting, and extreme weakness. The abdomen becomes rigid and sensitive to the touch. The patient may suffer mental confusion, fever, prostration, or shock. Although antibiotics have greatly reduced the mortality rate of acute peritonitis, the infection should be treated and controlled immediately; it can be fatal if neglected.
Diagnosis is based on manual examination, x-ray films, and blood tests.
Diagnosis is based on manual examination, x-ray films, and blood tests.
Treatment. The basic treatment for acute peritonitis is a combination of surgery, antibiotics, and other measures. The peritoneal cavity often must be opened and the toxic material removed. The original source of infection, such as an inflamed appendix, may have to be removed, or an abscess caused by the peritonitis may have to be drained. Antibiotics are used to fight the infection itself.
The patient usually takes nothing by mouth. Fluids are given intravenously. Narcotics and sedatives are often used to relieve pain and ensure rest. Treatment may also include blood transfusions and suction through a nasogastric tube to relieve abdominal pressure and to prevent accumulation of gas in the intestines.

Treatment may also include blood transfusions and suction through a nasogastric tube to relieve abdominal pressure and to prevent accumulation of gas in the intestines.
Chronic Peritonitis. The chronic form of this disease is comparatively rare, and is often associated with tuberculosis. Less frequently it may result from longstanding irritation caused by the presence in the abdomen of a foreign body such as gunshot.
In general, symptoms of chronic peritonitis are milder than those of acute peritonitis. Symptoms of tuberculous peritonitis are abdominal pain, low-grade fever, constipation, and general ill health, including loss of weight and appetite. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and the severity of the condition.

Inflammation of the peritoneum.
Etymology: Gk, peri + teinein, to stretch, itis
an inflammation of the peritoneum. It is produced by bacteria or irritating substances introduced into the abdominal cavity by a penetrating wound or perforation of an organ in the GI tract or the reproductive tract. Peritonitis is caused most commonly by rupture of the appendix but also occurs after perforations of intestinal diverticula, peptic ulcers, gangrenous gallbladders, gangrenous obstructions of the small bowel, or incarcerated hernias, as well as ruptures of the spleen, liver, ovarian cyst, or fallopian tube, especially in ectopic pregnancy. In some cases, peritonitis is secondary to the release of pancreatic enzymes, bile, or digestive juices of the upper GI tract, and there are reports of postoperative peritonitis caused by cornstarch used to powder surgical gloves. The bacteria most frequently identified as causative agents in peritonitis are Escherichia coli, Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, and anaerobic and aerobic streptococci. Pneumococci occasionally found in peritonitis in girls are thought to enter the abdominal cavity via the vagina and fallopian tubes. See also acute diffuse peritonitis, adhesive peritonitis.
observations Characteristic signs and symptoms include abdominal distension, rigidity and pain, rebound tenderness, decreased or absent bowel sounds, nausea, vomiting, and tachycardia. The patient has chills and fever; breathes rapidly and shallowly; is anxious, dehydrated, and unable to defecate; and may vomit fecal material. Leukocytosis, an electrolyte imbalance, and hypovolemia are usually present, and shock and heart failure may ensue.
peritonitisInflammation of the peritoneum, often due to infection–especially bacteria, but also post-traumatic, injury and bleeding, or disease–eg, SLE. See Bile peritonitis, Dialysis-associated peritonitis, Idiopathic sclerosing peritonitis, Sclerosing metanephric peritonitis, Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, Vernix caseosa peritonitis.
Inflammation of the peritoneum.
peritonitisInflammation of the PERITONEUM. This is most commonly due to perforation of the bowel, with the release of infected material into the peritoneal cavity, and is always serious. Causes of perforation include ruptured APPENDIX, PEPTIC ULCER, DIVERTICULITIS, SALPINGITIS, CHOLECYSTITIS or SEPTICAEMIA. Treatment usually involves emergency surgery to deal with the cause and clean out any infected material, supplemented by antibiotics and fluid infusions.
inflammation of the peritoneum. The cause may be infectious or chemical. Typical signs are rigidity and pain on palpation of the abdominal wall, absence of feces, severe toxemia and fever. In horses there is a mild colic and in dogs and cats there is often effusion. Paracentesis may show evidence of inflammation.
acute diffuse peritonitis
in the early stages pain is evident all over the abdomen. There is soon a disappearance of pain, a profound toxemia develops and the disease may go undetected.
acute local peritonitis
added to the usual signs there is a sharp pain response over the site of the lesion.
adhesive peritonitis
peritonitis characterized by adhesions between adjacent serous structures.
aseptic peritonitis
see chemical peritonitis (below).
biliary peritonitis, bile peritonitis
that due to the presence of bile in the peritoneum; choleperitoneum. Is detected by the color of the fluid withdrawn by paracentesis. See also bile peritonitis.
chemical peritonitis
may be caused by leakage of bile, urine, gastric juices or pancreatic enzymes in acute pancreatitis. Infusion of irritant materials can cause a similar chemical irritation.
chronic peritonitis
is manifested by chronic toxemia, bouts of colic due to adhesions and an accumulation of exudate which may cause a visible distention of the abdomen. See also retroperitoneal abscess.
chylous peritonitis
an uncommon result of abdominal trauma or tumors, intestinal obstruction or lymphangiectasia.
egg peritonitis
peritonitis in birds due to release of an egg into the peritoneal cavity with subsequent infection by Escherichia coli which have ascended via the oviduct.
feline infectious peritonitis (FIP)
see feline infectious peritonitis.
idiopathic peritonitis
one caused by a primary infection of the peritoneal cavity, e.g. feline infectious peritonitis, or hematogenous spread from a noncontiguous site.
post-stripping peritonitis
fatal peritonitis occurring in cultured salmonid fish soon after stripping, sometimes before. Caused by a number of gram-positive cocci and coccobacilli; Carnobacterium piscicola considered to be the most important infection.
primary peritonitis
see idiopathic peritonitis (above).
septic peritonitis
secondary to disruption of the abdominal cavity or a hollow viscus, particularly leakage from the gastrointestinal tract.
silent peritonitis
asymptomatic peritonitis.
starch granulomatous peritonitis
talcum powder, and to a lesser extent, other powders used on surgical gloves can cause a granulomatous reaction on the peritoneum.
traumatic peritonitis
perforation of the gut wall or abdominal wall introducing infection into the peritoneal cavity. May result from stake or bite wound, inexpert passing of urinary or insemination catheter, sadistically by a broom handle in the vagina, or stabbing of the rumen as an emergency measure in acute ruminal tympany. See also traumatic reticuloperitonitis.
urine peritonitis
prolonged exposure of the peritoneum to urine, usually due to leakage from the bladder or a ureter, results in a peritonitis and the development of uremia. Bacterial infection may also be introduced.

Romania museum: Ash may hold stolen art's secret
A Romanian museum official says some of the paint pigments recovered from an oven of a woman whose son is charged with stealing seven multimillion-dollar paintings in the Netherlands contain chemicals from colors used in the 19th and 20th century, but aren't commonly used anymore.
Forensic scientists at Romania's National History Museum examined ash from the stove of Olga Dogaru, whose son is the chief suspect in last year's theft of paintings, which include a Matisse, a Picasso and a Monet.
Authorities said Dogaru initially admitted burning the paintings to protect her son, but later denied it.
Museum director Ernest Oberlander Tarnoveanu said Thursday their investigation found traces of "very old" yellow arsenic, which painters say hasn't been in common use since World War II because of its toxicity.

On this day — Gov. Rick Perry gives a speech that hints at presidential ambitions in New York, deflects criticism from Texas' newspapers because hometowns never likes the "prophet," and he voluntarily sits down with the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board; the Senate passes controversial sanctuary cities legislation; and the House passes Congressional redistricting.
Wherever you are, whenever you need it — get the latest from the Houston Chronicle/San Antonio Express-News Austin Bureau by subscribing to our RSS feed, following us on Tumblr and Twitter @txpoliticsblog , and get the latest in your Facebook news feed by liking us on Facebook.
***Now, You're in New York
Full details on Gov. Rick Perry's visit to New York, FOX News and a newspaper editorial board (!) below the fold.
***Sanctuary Cities Passes Senate
After more than six hours of discussion and amendments on the Senate floor, the debate over a controversial bill, which would grant local police the power to inquire about a detained person's citizenship, reached an emotional climax as Hispanic senators relayed their experiences with past discrimination. Here's a sample of some of what was said on the House floor.
Whitmire, D-Houston, recounted a story of a single mother who's in the U.S. illegally and is afraid to try to collect child support from her American husband, who abandoned her because she could lose her son and be deported.
"Sometimes you have to do the right thing and suffer the consequences," Whitmire said, finishing his statement with a last minute quote from Sam Houston, in a bid to sway Republicans.
Sen. Carlos Uresti, D-San Antonio, told his fellow Senators that he had experienced discrimination throughout his life.
When he was in school, Uresti said his name was changed to Charlie because they were forbidden from speaking Spanish. He told the Senators that when he was in the Marine Corps, he was called a wetback by his fellow white Marines.
He called the legislation "mean," "vindictive," and "wrong" and said that the bill "strikes at the heart and the soul of Latinos of Texas."
"All that matters, all of a sudden, is the color of your skin," Uresti said. "[The bill] opens the doors to discriminate against… anyone who looks like me."
Chronicle/Express-News reporter Gary Scharrer explains the bill and what it would do.
At its core, SB 9 allows law enforcement officers to ask someone about their immigration status after they are detained and also establishes uniform statewide standards. It also would ban local governments from enacting a policy prohibiting the enforcement of state or federal immigration laws.
But critics say it will invariably result in racial profiling and make it less likely for immigrants to report crime because the legislation also allows police to question witnesses in the course of an investigation. Police chiefs in each of the state's largest cities oppose the legislation.
Democrats contend the bill is the "largest assault against Latinos" in recent decades and could help inspire Hispanics to vote in next year's election.
***House Passes Congressional Redistricting
The Texas House moved forward on redistricting map that would give Republicans three of the four new seats granted to Texas and would result in Travis County being split into five different districts; the Houston Chronicle's Patti Hart reports:
In a vote universally acknowledged as one step toward the courthouse, the Texas House on Tuesday gave preliminary approval to a congressional redistricting map that accommodates four new districts in a plan that critics claim illegally disperses minority voting power.
Voting 93-48 along party lines, lawmakers approved the plan offered by Rep. Burt Solomons, R-Carrollton, after rejecting six changes attempted by Democrats who argued the plan failed to recognize that minorities account for 90 percent of Texas' increase of 4 million residents over the last decade.
The House is expected to give final approval to the map Wednsday and return it to the Senate to approve slight changes from that chamber's version.
The plan creates a new district that stretches from Travis to Bexar County which will be dominated by Hispanic voters, and a second district favorable to Hispanics from Corpus Christi to the Valley. Republican-leaning districts are created in the Houston and Fort Worth areas.
***A Swing… And a Miss
***New York, New York
– Gov. Rick Perry addressed a New York Republican dinner held at one of the riziest hotels in the city and gave a speech that made him sound increasingly like a presidential candidate; Houston Chronicle Washington Bureau Chief Richard Dunham reports:
Gov. Rick Perry sounded very much like a presidential candidate at a New York City Republican fundraising dinner tonight, blasting President Obama's economic policies and boasting of Texas' economic growth during his decade-long tenure.
Appearing as the keynote speaker at the New York County Republican Party's annual Lincoln Day dinner at Grand Central Station in Manhattan, Perry bragged about presiding over "the strongest economy in this country." He cited government statistics indicating that 48 percent of the jobs created in the U.S. in the past two years have been created in Texas.
"We keep adding jobs while other states lose them left and right," Perry said. "Those jobs flee other states because of factors like excess taxation, punitive regulation and frivolous litigation. To preserve our job-friendly climate, our Legislature didn't raise taxes in balancing a budget that maintains essential services and keeps more than $6 billion in our Rainy Day Fund.
"In Texas, we can't defer today's tough decisions for tomorrow's generation, and unlike Washington, we don't have one of those Beijing credit cards to finance deficit spending."
Also filing reports from the dinner — The Texas Tribune's Jay Root, The Dallas Morning News' Todd Gillman and the Austin American-Statesman's Jason Embry.
– Perry raised some eyebrows during an interview with FOX News when host Neil Cavuto asked Perry what he made of all of the criticism that he's gotten from Republicans and Democrats and newspapers back in Texas. Perry's responsed by saying "the prophet is generally not loved in their hometown."
– While over at FOX News trans-dimensional, interplanetary, universal headquarters — Gov. Rick Perry stopped by Glenn Beck's set and joined the controversial conservative talk show host at his chalkboard of liberty.
– Also, Gov. Rick Perry requested a sit-down interview with a newspaper editorial board(!); granted the interview was with the Wall Street Journal's editorial board, one of the leading conservative voices in the country. Still, it's a dramatic change from his 2010 campaign when Perry refused to meet with any editorial board of any newspaper in Texas, regardless of their political orientation.

A New York Times editorial cites one of the Census Bureau's alternative poverty estimates as evidence that "the safety net, fortified by stimulus" kept the number of people in poverty from rising in 2009.
For this, it relies on an analysis by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities — the same one I used to arrive at a similar, though more cautious conclusion.
"Sorry," says Shawn Fremstad, Director of the Inclusive and Sustainable Economy Initiative at the Center for Economic and Policy Research. "Poverty really did increase in 2009."
True, the expanded food stamp benefits and tax credits that were part of the economic recovery act may have kept poverty from increasing as much as it would have otherwise. But they didn't offset the impacts of massive job losses and related losses of health insurance.
According to Fremstad, the alternative poverty rate didn't go up in part because the alternative poverty threshold that produced the no-increase result went down. This, he says, was also true for the threshold used to produce the official poverty rate, but the decline was smaller — slightly over a third of a percent, as compared to 1%.
The gap reflects differences in the data sets Census uses to establish the thresholds.
As I've written before, the official threshold is set at three times the early 1960's cost of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economy Food Plan, adjusted for inflation. The alternative threshold at issue is instead tied to the amount that moderate-income households spend on housing, utilities and food.
When the housing market tanks, as it certainly has, the alternative threshold won't keep up with the overall inflation rate — even actually decline, as it did in 2009. This could boost some people above the cut-off, though they were as income-poor as those who fell below it were in 2008.
But if their housing costs were actually lower, wouldn't their resources come closer to covering their basic needs? For the purposes of the poverty measure, that depends on what counts as a basic need.
Which brings us to Fremstad's second point. The no-increase alternative measure doesn't fully account for medical costs. Instead, it adjusts only for out-of-pocket medical expenditures, e.g., deductibles and co-pays.
Sounds reasonable enough until you consider what can happen when people lose health insurance, as 4.4 million did in 2009.
Some will be well enough off to pay for essential health care costs, notwithstanding the bigger drain on their resources.They'll seem to be poorer because the measure picks up their costs. Others will forgo care. They'll seem to be relatively better off, though they could well be poorer than those who continue to pay for care.
Fremstad says the Census Bureau actually did publish some alternative poverty measures that include medical expenses, rather than just out-of-pockets. These produced higher thresholds than in 2008 and somewhere between 1.1 million and 1.8 million more people in poverty.
Still less than the 3.74 million in the official estimate, but enough to suggest that the poverty rate didn't stay flat — if the test is whether people could afford essential expenditures.
Lastly, Fremstad notes that the Census Bureau counted the full value of refundable tax credits as 2009 income, even though "nearly all" the families who gained from the expanded Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit got their benefits as a lump sum in 2010, i.e., after they filed their 2009 tax returns.
So they were no less poor in 2009 than they would have been with no refunds at all.
None of this is to say that CBPP erred in finding that major safety net programs, including the expansions effected by the recovery act, kept some millions of people out of poverty. Nor that the Times is wrong in saying that Congress should "take a good look at those numbers … before it commits to any more slashing and burning."
But it does, I think, show how urgently we need a single, reliable poverty measure to tell us how many poor people there are — and who they are — at any given time and over time.
As the Times editorial indicates, this is not just of interest to economists and others of a wonkish bent. It's got real world consequences for policymaking and for a still-unknown number of poor people affected by the policies made.

3D- Radiation versus IMRT versus Proton Therapy
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
What are the differences between IMRT, 3-D radiation, and proton therapy? What is the best choice for a patient?
Eric Shinohara, MD, MSCI Radiation Oncology Section Editor for OncoLink responds:
The issue of IMRT vs. 3-D conformal radiation is a hot one, and unfortunately there are no randomized trials comparing the two methods. Some experts think that IMRT is better because it allows the radiation dose to be shaped more precisely around the prostate. Also, some people with prostate cancer may require radiation treatment to their whole pelvis in order to treat surrounding lymph nodes. IMRT may allow the dose to be shaped such that normal organs, such as intestines, can be avoided. By shaping the dose to avoid normal organs, toxicity may be decreased. Some studies have suggested that IMRT decreases toxicity. However, since IMRT is a new technology and most people treated with this technique were treated more recently, other advances, besides IMRT, could potentially account for some of the reduced toxicity.
Another issue to consider is that it can take longer to deliver IMRT - about 15 to 20 minutes/fraction, compared to about 5 minutes with 3-D conformal. During this extra time needed for IMRT delivery, some people worry that there may be repair of the damage caused by the radiation in the tumor cells (i.e.: the "good damage" from radiation that you actually want to occur in order to fight the tumor). Therefore, this would mean that higher doses of radiation are needed to achieve tumor control and counteract any unwanted tumor repair. This is purely theoretical, and there is no objective data to support this theory.
There is also the potential risk of increased rates of secondary cancers with IMRT, because it spreads a low dose of radiation around a larger area of normal tissue. This lower dose to a large amount of tissue may put a greater amount of normal tissue at risk for developing cancer compared with 3-D conformal radiation.
Nonetheless, based on the data that are currently available about the theoretical risks and benefits of IMRT, the majority of centers in the United States do treat prostate cancer with IMRT.
At present, there are only a limited number of radiation oncology departments with proton therapy. There are currently operational proton facilities in Loma Linda, CA ( Loma Linda University), Boston, MA ( Massachusetts General Hospital), Houston, TX (MD Anderson Cancer Center) , Jacksonville, FL ( University of Florida), and Bloomington, Indiana ( Indiana University). However, there are numerous proton facilities in development in various parts of the U.S., including: Philadelphia, PA (University of Pennsylvania), Hampton, Virginia (Hampton University), Seattle, WA (Seattle Cancer Center Alliance), St. Louis, MO (Siteman Cancer Center), Oklahoma City, OK (ProCure Treatment Center), and Dekalb, IL (The Northern Illinois Proton Treatment and Research Center), among others. Hence, the availability of proton therapy is gradually expanding and a greater number of people will have access to it in the near future. Protons may allow for even more precise shaping of the radiation beam around the tumor compared with IMRT. This has the potential to further decrease toxicity to the bowel and bladder. Another potential benefit to protons is that they deliver less radiation to normal tissues. This may reduce the risk of secondary cancers by decreasing the volume of normal tissue that sees radiation, particularly if a special type of proton beam, a scanning beam, is used. However, as with IMRT vs. 3-D conformal therapy, there have not been large trials which compare 3-D conformal radiation or IMRT with protons. However, studies that have compared the amount of side effects that people experience with protons vs. with IMRT and 3-D conformal therapy suggest that protons cause fewer side effects. It may be possible to go to higher radiation doses more safely with protons and these studies, among others, are ongoing.
The bottom line is that all experts believe in what they do, and there will most likely never be a randomized trial directly comparing 3D conformal radiation, IMRT and protons. What we do know is that both 3-D and IMRT are superior to non-CT-based conventional radiation treatment (which was used in the past), and that the cure rate for prostate cancer is substantially higher when the radiation dose is higher than 75Gy (7500 cGy), no matter whether you use IMRT or standard 3-D conformal. In theory, we may be able to achieve higher doses with proton therapy due to its ability to better shape the beam and reduce toxicity. Numerous studies are currently ongoing.

Chef Business Card - Mini Menu Format
This card designed by 3 Advertising repurposes the folding menu format in miniature as a business card, complete with it's own mini envelope for presentation. We custom duplexed Neenah Classic Crest Epic Black 80C together with Neenah Classic Crest Classic Natural White 80C to make a 160lb sheet. Then we letterpress printed silver ink on the black side and gray ink on the natural white side. The cards were die cut with a heavy matrix score for folding such a beefy stock. Neenah Classic Crest Antique Gray 80T paper was printed with transparent white ink and custom converted to the mini envelopes.

'Out There': Coming of age, 'toon-style
There are a bunch of great, idiosyncratic voices on IFC's new animated sitcom "Out There.'' It should be an aural spectacular. The cast includes Megan Mullally, who was a filthy-rich Betty Boop on "Will & Grace'' and continues to squeak and squawk on "Childrens Hospital'' and "Parks and Recreation''; Fred Armisen from "Saturday Night Live'' and IFC's "Portlandia,'' who can mimic anyone from a Eurotrash art dealer to Prince; and Pamela Adlon, the woman Louis C.K. fell for on "Louie,'' whose raspy helium stylings have been heard in many animated series, including "King of the Hill.'' Also on board: Kate Micucci, the ukulele-playing Shelley on "Raising Hope,'' and her sweet little-girl mew.
But "Out There'' is actually a quiet comedy, with more soft moments and understated vocal performances than you might expect given the cast. The show is written and directed by Ryan Quincy, animation director and producer of "South Park,'' and he appears to be ready to swing away from the more high-pitched, maniacal sounds of that cultural satire. "Out There,'' which premieres Friday night at 10:30 after "Portlandia,'' plays like a reaction to a lot of TV's rebel animation series such as "South Park'' and "Family Guy,'' as it takes a gentle look at nerdy high school boys coming of age. Rather than abrasive and hyper, the tone of "Out There'' is bittersweet.
Quincy voices the central character, Chad Stevens, who delivers a hangdog voice-over about how bored he is. Life as a 15-year-old in the nowhere small town of Holford is "mind-numbingly ho-hum,'' he tells his father. He's an innocent loner — "a soloist,'' he calls himself — until he becomes best friends with a more extroverted kid named Chris (Justin Roiland). Chris is always plotting to scandalize the school and humiliate a bully named Troy, and Chad becomes his accomplice. Together, they make fools of themselves in front of their classmates, while Chad tries to impress his crush, Sharla (Linda Cardellini).
The show has elements of "The Inbetweeners,'' "Superbad,'' and Cardellini's show "Freaks and Geeks,'' the one-season high school classic that still reairs on IFC. Our underdog heroes undergo hallway humiliations at school, when they're not dealing with their clueless parents. In one episode, Chris and Chad try to learn about sex, in another they go to a school dance — the "Give Peace a Dance Dance.'' Meanwhile, Chad's father is obsessed with catching Chad with drugs, which is because he was heavily into illegal substances as a kid. Chad, who oozes sheltered boyishness, is clearly drug-free.
By the way, Chad, his little brother, and their father have furry dog-like heads with rodent-chicken facial features. All the other characters on "Out There'' are cartoon replicas of humans, but the Stevens men are sweetly otherworldly, with fuzzy fringe hanging down around their necks. If we forget about Chad's outsider status for a moment, a quick look at his face is enough to remind us.
Is "Out There'' any good? It's just fine, although it never strays outside the conventions of poignant coming-of-age stories. Everything about the show is too familiar. The sincerity is refreshing in an animated context, but the characters and the stories are old hat. Except for Chad's head, there's too little that's distinctive about the world Quincy has created. It's not very out-there at all.

KEVIN RUDD has warned escalating territorial disputes between China and its neighbours are a ''tinderbox on water'', and compared the situation to tensions in the Balkans a century ago that sparked the First World War.
Writing in the US journal Foreign Policy this week, Mr Rudd said nationalism and conflicting claims in the East China and South China seas were bringing six countries - three of them close strategic partners of the US - into dispute with China.
''The region increasingly resembles a 21st-century maritime redux of the Balkans a century ago - a tinderbox on water,'' he said. ''Nationalist sentiment is surging across the region, reducing the domestic political space for less confrontational approaches. Like the Balkans a century ago, riven by overlapping alliances, loyalties, and hatreds, the strategic environment in East Asia is complex.''
His remarks echo concerns held by many strategic experts. Most worrying were relations between China and Japan, and China and Vietnam, Mr Rudd said. China and Japan, which are in dispute over the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea - known as the Diaoyu Islands in Chinese - had reached their prickliest since the countries normalised relations in 1972, he said.
While stressing a pan-Asian war was ''extremely unlikely'', Mr Rudd said ''the idea of armed conflict … has now become a terrifying, almost normal part of the regional conversation''.
Things were even more complicated in the South China Sea, whose oil and gas reserves, and fish stocks, are intensifying claims particularly between China and Vietnam. The two fought a border war in 1979 as well as skirmishes in 1974 and 1988.
''Vietnam and China appear to have set themselves on a collision course, and those who monitor this relationship closely fear a repeat of those earlier armed conflicts,'' Mr Rudd said.
He urged the two countries to accelerate the long-awaited code of conduct between ASEAN and China on the territorial disputes - a set of rules that would aim to prevent any miscalculation sparking armed conflict.
World War I began because of a build-up of tension between Britain, Italy, France, Germany, the Austria-Hungarian Empire and Russia. But the spark was territorial disputes in the Balkans.

As the gilded hipster saying goes on Tumblr: "Sweater weather is better weather". And it so happens I've got two sweaters I'm courting this autumn. One's a grey and purple stripey mohair beauty courtesy of ESSENTIEL and the other one a saffron cable knit from New Look! I perched myself upon a weathered gazebo, as one does, and wandered around the pilars of the Museum of Fine Arts. Ghent is so lovely this time of year.
Thanks Michaël for the awesome track

Superior Service Doesn't Have To Be Hairy Business
You have the opportunity to go above and beyond the call of duty every time you engage with a client. And don't think that your superior work and insight will go unnoticed! Before long, you will find that they will go out of their way in search of your insight and advice. Regardless of your profession, the potential is there for you to become a trusted advisor. We strive to reach this standard here at Rea, but I know of others who I would consider to be trusted advisors in a variety of other professions.
My Hair Stylist Is A Trusted Advisor
After attending my last meeting of the day, I gathered my things, left the conference room, walked to my car and sat down in the driver's seat ready to depart for my regularly scheduled hair appointment. As I turned the engine, I started thinking the meeting I just left, during which we spent a lot of time discussing the succession plan of an existing client and what we could do to deliver the best experience (and outcome) possible. Then my thoughts drifted to the task at hand – my hair appointment and how I truly consider Aaren, my stylist, to be a trusted advisor in my life. Here's why:
Superior Efficiency
Before busy season starts (January-April in our industry) Aaren will style my hair in a way that helps facilitate a faster dry time each morning. Being the numbers addict I am I have estimated that I can save about 6.5 hours if I opt for a shorter hairstyle. This is similar to how Rea is dedicated to delivering superior efficiency. For example, we have integrated Lean Six Sigma into our culture as a means to deliver efficient, cost effective service. We use it. We know it works. And we have helped other businesses implement their own Lean initiatives as well.
The Best Ideas You Weren't Expecting
Not only does Aaren understand how to encourage her clients how to care for their hair during the best of times, she's mindful of changes that could occur as a result of environmental factors and makes recommendations accordingly. This is what happened when I told her I was going on vacation to the ocean. This seemingly casual conversation revealed an opportunity to warn me about the dangers of saltwater on hair; she recommended a product to help prevent damage while I was on vacation. The great thing about developing a relationship with a trusted advisor is that they genuinely care! Are your children gearing up for graduation? Are you eyeballing retirement? Are you looking to invest in a summer home? A trusted advisor might be able to help you seize an opportunity that you would otherwise miss.
Sound Advice In Advance
I have found that Aaren is most effective when I keep her in the loop. I let her know when I have a vacation or a wedding many months in advance. This way she can help me get the results I want without unpleasant side effects. For example, rather than dye my hair right before a major wedding that was taking place in our family, Aaren encouraged me to change the color over a six-month period. By making the changes gradually and planned out we were to prevent my hair becoming damaged due to the chemicals.
Your advisors are also most effective when they are able to get in front of an issue. For example, if a client wanted to pass their business on to the next generation, an advisor could help you identify your succession plan, help you prepare for the changeover, identify financing solutions for your own retirement and help establish a cash flow strategy for the incoming management.
Preventive Maintenance
Every time I climb into Aaren's chair my hair is trimmed – regardless of its condition. This helps maintain a fresh look while preventing additional breakage. It also gives her an opportunity to assess the state of my hair and make recommendations to help keep it looking its best! From helping a client monitor their cash flow to updating a buy-sell agreement, a lot of preventive maintenance can be done at a regular meeting with your financial advisor, too. You never know when a simple lunch meeting could reveal an underlying problem that, if left to fester, could be damaging to your business.
When it comes to the management of my hair, Aaren is a trusted advisor. She continues to demonstrate her expertise and always goes above and beyond my expectations, which is why I will drive two hours to keep my hair appointments!
What do you do to set yourself apart from the competition? Why would a client drive two hours to buy your products or services? How can you be a trusted advisor to the clients you serve? Mike Taylor, a CPA and executive principal here at Rea, did a great job talking about the advisory role on an episode of unsuitable on Rea Radio. You can listen to the podcast below or click here to learn more about this particular episode. You can also email Rea & Associates to speak with one of our industry professionals to find out how you can take your business to the next level.

If you own a condominium or a property within a homeowners association, the association's behavior could derail your home sale.
The lender looks not only at your financial situation, but also at the financial condition of the condo association or HOA. When selling your home, you could face delays or even a canceled sale because of the association's problems, including:
- Delinquencies on association dues.
- Lawsuits.
- Limited cash reserves.
- Too little insurance.
- Too many renters.
Any one of these issues could prevent a prospective buyer from getting a mortgage to buy your home, particularly if it is a condo.
Sellers within a condo or an HOA should ask questions before selling their homes, or they could face these unexpected financing issues.
"Homeowners should investigate the security of their association before listing their home, so they know what issues may or may not come up during negotiations with buyers," says Amy Tierce, regional vice president of Fairway Independent Mortgage in Needham, Mass. "Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and (the Federal Housing Administration) all have guidelines in place to protect consumers from financial difficulties within an HOA or condo."
While conventional, FHA and Veterans Affairs loans all require condo associations to meet a variety of standards, owners within homeowners associations have just one issue that could delay buyers' ability to obtain financing.
"HOAs must have a master insurance policy that covers common areas and community amenities for liability issues," says Doug Benner, a senior loan officer with Embrace Home Loans in Rockville, Md. "Lenders require proof of adequate coverage before they'll approve a loan. I recently worked with a buyer in a community where the management was shopping for a new insurance policy. We had to push them to get the policy papers ready because the renewal date was the same day as the closing, and the loan couldn't close without the insurance document."
Tierce says Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require at least $1 million in a master liability insurance policy for an HOA. She suggests the seller track down a copy of the master insurance policy before listing a home to check the amount and the renewal date.
"Most HOA and condo-management companies are willing to upgrade the insurance policy because they know it will impact every owner trying to refinance or sell," Tierce says.
Condominium issues for sellers
Condo financing rules have other requirements in addition to the master insurance policy, such as limiting the number of fee delinquencies to less than 15 percent of homeowners.
"The biggest issues that can prevent someone from obtaining financing on a condo are too many fee delinquencies, low cash reserves and the existence of a lawsuit for more than $100,000 in which the association is a defendant," says Ellen Hirsch de Haan, an attorney with Becker and Poliakoff in Clearwater, Fla., and a member of the Community Associations Institute. "The other big issue is the number of renters compared to owners."
Condos that meet FHA requirements are on an approved list accessible by the public as well as lenders. For example, the FHA says that in addition to having fewer than 15 percent delinquencies, 50 percent or fewer of the residents can be renters, and 10 percent of condo fees must be kept for cash reserves. Conventional financing has similar requirements, although Tierce says that if the buyers intend to be owner-occupants and the condo association has been established for at least three years, a limited project review can be done that may allow a loan approval in spite of a high ratio of renters.
Hirsch de Haan recommends that sellers check the records of their association, attend condo board meetings or read meeting minutes, review the budget, and ask for financial records to check for delinquencies.
"Sellers cannot do much on an individual basis other than talk to the board about issues that can hurt financing options," says Hirsch de Haan. "Ultimately, most of these issues require a long-term solution."
Seller options
Benner recommends that a seller check with the condo management company to ask if the community has FHA approval, which can be a big selling point for buyers.
"You should ask if anyone is having trouble obtaining financing, and see if there's anything you can do," Benner says. "If, for instance, the number of delinquencies is right on the threshold, maybe you can work with the management association to put pressure on people to pay their dues since it is in everyone's interest in the community."
Tierce says sometimes there's nothing to be done about delinquencies until an owner gets caught up or the home is sold.
"The best option, if conventional, FHA or VA financing isn't available, is to find a portfolio lender who would be willing to approve a loan," Tierce says. "The buyer would usually need a larger down payment in that case of 25 percent or more."
Benner says portfolio lenders often charge a higher interest rate in addition to requiring a larger down payment.

Well, I have played around with this for hours without any luck. TVHeadend appears to be configured OK. My channels are defined there any mapped to the appropriate zap2it.com numbers. Yet, I have no data. I even removed the hosts file hack and editted the perl script to fix it properly. Rebooted and still no joy.
I went to edit my account thinking if I enabled another channel, then perhaps I could see if it would show up in my listing. When I opened account on the website, I go two surprises. First, the only enabled channel is one I never heard of and is not listed in TVHeadend. Secondly, none of the channel numbers are correct. I am on basic cable from Time Warner of Central Texas. The local CBS station is KEYEDT. The channel number was 1531. Looking at the listing on the Schedules Direct website, the number appears are 1209 and was not enabled for me. If I hover over it, the zap2it number is the same one I have been using, 33424.
Going to the Timer Warner Website, they also report 1209 now instead of the 1531. Therefore, it appears that at some point recently, Time Warner changed these numbers and all my channels got disabled in Schedules Direct. However, the funny thing is I can still tune the channels without rescanning the TV. On the TV, I enter the actual station's channel number, 42 for the CBS channel in question.
So, do I have to both enable all the channels again in Schedules Direct and then edit all the entries in TVHeadend to make the numbers match? Any idea why this changed? A humble suggestion if a major lineup change is going to hose a subscriber, then a warning email would be greatly appreciated.

I prefer female protagonists and this series of posts is homage to some of the most formidable female main characters in science fiction novels or series. This is the last one I got material for at the moment but I am pretty sure there are some formidable female protagonists in a science fiction novel or series that need to be here. This is your last chance to add to my list before I have to close the list.
I added a list of all the characters so far at the end of this post. Please add more suggestions. 100 is a better number than 80.
- Paula Myo – Intrepid Investigator (Peter F. Hamilton)
- Sissy – High Priestess of Harmony (C. F. Bentley)
- Paula Mendoza – Unconventional Negotiator (Cecelia Holland)
- Casseia Majumdar – Scientific Revolutionary (Greg Bear)
- Dirisha Zuri – the Matadora (Steve Perry)
Paula Myo – Intrepid Investigator
Books: Pandora's Star (2004), Judas Unchained (2005)
Series: Commonwealth Saga
Author: Peter F. Hamilton
Genre: Space opera
Publisher: MacMillan UK, Del Rey, Pan
Paula Myo is only one of the characters in the Commonwealth saga. She is a famous investigator that realizes the Starflyer is real and a threat to humanity. It was a few years since I read these books and they are huge, not as huge as his Night's Dawn trilogy but big enough. Good interesting space opera with multiple main characters.
Sissy – High Priestess of Harmony
Books: Harmony (2008), Enigma (2009)
Series: Harmony
Author: C. F. Bentley (Irene Radford)
Genre: Military Science Fiction | Fantasy
Publisher: Daw
I just finished reading Harmony an liked it a lot; it is a mixture of military science fiction, space opera and romance. Sissy is born with the mark of all seven casts. Normally that would make here an outcast to be killed but she hides the marks with the help of her family. Their planet Harmony is becoming unstable and a catastrophic earthquake threatens to destroy the capital. But Sissy finds out she has the power to divert the power of the quake and save the city. The High Priestess is killed and the surviving High Priest sees an opportunity in using this young uneducated girl with real powers to strengthening his position on the ruling council. Thing is that Sissy have other ideas.
There is a lovely love story in there to you can check out my review.
Paula Mendoza – Unconventional Negotiator
Books: Floating Wolds (1976)
Author: Cecelia Holland
Genre: Feminist Science Fiction
Publisher: Knopf, Gollancz, Pocket, Sphere, VGSF.
New to me both of them. According to Wikipedia "This novel is notable for its sexual content, its feminist theme, and its literary quality—all comparable to the mid-70s work of Joanna Russ and Ursula K. Le Guin." that sounds like something I would like to read. This also goes on my to-read list.
When an aggressive race of mutants from Uranus and Saturn launch pirate raids on ships from Mars, the task of negotiating peace falls to the resourceful and unpredictable Paula Mendoza.
Though highly skeptical of her "anarchist" government, gutsy Paula Mendoza rises from the ranks of the unemployed Earthish to become its peace negotiator in the escalating war between the Middle Planets and the Gas Planets in this latest by Cecelia Holland (The Pillar of the Sky), whom the Chicago Tribune has compared to Arthur C. Clarke and Ursula Le Guin. Paula's methods (which include sleeping with the enemy) are innovative, to say the least, and they land her in troubled waters in the startling and epic Floating Worlds
Casseia Majumdar – Scientific Revolutionary
Books: Moving Mars (1993)
Series: Queen of Angels book 3
Author: Greg Bear
Genre: Coming of Age | Revolution
Publisher: Tor, Legend, Orb, The Easton Press, Brilliance Audio
This is a coming of age story about Casseia Majumdar at the backdrop of the brewing revolution. Sounds like a good book I have to read soon.
Mars is a colonial world governed by corporate interests on Earth. The citizens of Mars are hardworking, brave, and intelligent, but held back by their lack of access to the best education, and the desire of Earthly powers to keep the best inventions for themselves. The young Martians – the second and third generation born on Mars – have little loyalty to the Earth, and strong belief that their planet can be independent. The revolution begins slowly, but matures to its inevitable conclusion.

Digital Agenda: further action needed to safeguard children – Commission report
How Member States are implementing EU Recommendations ensuring children can enjoy the digital world confidently and safely are reviewed by the European Commission in a report presented today. Member States and industry are increasingly making efforts to implement EU Recommendations dating from 1998 and 2006 on the protection of minors using audiovisual and online services. But the measures taken have been insufficient overall.
In concrete terms, the report shows that EU countries are not responding adequately, or have varying approaches to tackling and reporting illegal or harmful content, ensuring children access age-appropriate content, making social networks safer for children and protecting children from harmful video games. For example, there are many differences between Member States in the way hotlines check the illegality of, or the harm involved in, the content reported to them, track its source and notify it to the competent authorities. Similarly, EU countries use different age rating systems and technical means to keep website and games age-appropriate. The report shows that there is considerable scope for enhancing children's protection in these sectors. The Commission will address these issues later this year in a comprehensive initiative to empower and protect children who use new technologies.
Neelie Kroes, Commission Vice President for the Digital Agenda said: "Children are going online more, and younger, and are exploring an exciting digital world of opportunity. But we urgently need to step up a gear on what we do, and how we work together to empower and protect children in this ever changing digital world. We need to give parents and teachers the confidence to take on their responsibilities. The strategy I will present later this year will tackle these problems head on".
The report suggests several actions including:
Harmful and illegal content: making hotlines better known and improving the supporting infrastructures to make the removal of illegal content more efficient.
Social networking and privacy: improving awareness of the risks and ways to mitigate them.
Age classification and rating systems: wider use of age-rating systems (like PEGI) for online games; developing codes of codes of conduct and other ways of making retailers more aware of age-ratings, to prevent "under-age" sales of games.
Making the Internet a better place for children is one of the priorities of the Digital Agenda for Europe (see IP/10/581, MEMO/10/199 and MEMO/10/200).
According to an EUKidsOnline survey (IP/11/479), 9-10 year olds in Europe who use the Internet report that, on average, they started to go online from age 7. 33% of those who go online use a mobile phone or a handheld device. 77 % of 13-16 year olds and 38 % of 9-12 year olds in Europe who use the Internet say they have a profile on a social networking site; a quarter of those who use social networking sites say their profile is public. Any EU-wide strategy in this field has to take account of the global and constantly changing nature of the digital environment and respond flexibly to new challenges.
The 1998 and 2006 EU Recommendations on Protection of Minors responded to the fact that EU and national regulation cannot always keep pace with the rapid pace of developments in the field of audiovisual and online information services. At EU level (via the Audiovisual Media Services – AVMS - Directive) and in most of Member States, there are specific rules only for the content of audiovisual media. This makes it even more important for Member States and service providers to be aware of the new challenges for the protection of minors and to promote appropriate framework conditions through stakeholder cooperation and co- or self regulation.
The report is relevant to several actions outlined in the Digital Agenda for Europe. In particular, the Commission has committed to "foster multi-stakeholder dialogue and self-regulation of European and global service providers (e.g. social networking platforms, mobile communications providers), especially as regards the use of their services by minors"(Action 37).
The Digital Agenda also calls on Member States to "fully implement hotlines for reporting offensive or harmful online content, organise awareness raising campaigns on online safety for children, and offer teaching online safety in schools, and encourage providers of online services to implement self-regulatory measures regarding online safety for children by 2013" (Action 40).
The Commission is also working to promote the creation of high quality and age-appropriate online content (IP/11/746). One in three 9-12 year olds feels that there are enough good things for them online, according to an EUKidsOnline survey (IP/10/1368).

Apparently the Admin here will ban your friends character because you have 2 people playing from same IP address ....because they don't allow duel log in. Now how crazy is that. i wont be playing this server no more....trash
..yeah, that is pretty stupid actually LMAO. I mean I guess, rules are rules? But that's pretty dumb imo.Whatever, servers like that come a dime a dozen, just move on.
Before ranting on ratemyserver, be sure to follow the server rules first, and you were warned and talked to in a nice way before they banned you completely. Also if you gonna mention other stuff you might want to use the Direct Message or PM on RO so you won't get exploited easily. But in the end, the Mac Address of your original machine was still tracked.Clearly the server info states that dual clienting or multi clienting is disabled or not allowed and you violated those.
Before crying out loud in RMS, you should communicate with the server staff first. If you didn't try that first, it would seems that you want to cause a scene rather than resolve the initial problem.
i'm not crying its a rant and rave just letting my fellow RO players know whats up and i have talked with them..and just now since they have been exposed they wanna resolve this issue its all good now idc everyone knows how it is there now i'm not playing that server its deleted and i advise everyone to not play there have a nice day...(staff: removed unnecessary attachment.)

Fargo, N.D. – The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at NDSU has invited Nobel laureate Dr. Ferid Murad to deliver a research lecture titled "Discovery of Nitric Oxide and Cyclic GMP in Cell Signaling and Their Role in Drug Development" on Thursday, April 12, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the Memorial Union Century Theater. The seminar is open to all persons interested in pharmaceutical and biomedical research.
In 1998, Murad received the Nobel Prize in medicine for his discovery of the role of nitric oxide in the cardiovascular system. The discovery not only contributed to a better understanding of how information is transmitted between cells, but also had a significant influence on cardiovascular medicine, leading to changes in treatment following a heart attack. His research and findings on the effect of nitric oxide continue to influence the treatment of cancer, arthritis and other human diseases.
Murad is a professor at George Washington University, Washington, D.C. He was previously at the University of Texas at Houston as director emeritus of the Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine for the Prevention of Human Diseases, director of the Institute of Molecular Medicine Center for Cell Signaling, Regent Professor and John S. Dunn Sr. Distinguished Chair in Physiology and Medicine, and director of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Program in Intracellular Signaling. He was on the faculty of Northwestern University and the University of Virginia, where he was director of the Clinical Research Center and director of the Division of Clinical Pharmacology. He was chief of medicine at the Palo Alto Veterans Hospital, chairman of medicine at Stanford University and vice president of research and development at Abbott Laboratories.
Murad is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and its Institute of Medicine, fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and member of the Texas Academy of Medicine, Engineering and Science Technology. He earned his bachelor's degree from DePauw University and doctor of medicine and doctorate from Case Western Reserve University. He completed his residency at Massachusetts General Hospital and a fellowship at the National Institutes of Health. He has received numerous awards and honors in addition to the Nobel Prize, including the Albert and Mary Lasker Basic Medical Research Award, American Heart Association Ciba Award and Baxter Award for Distinguished Research in the Biomedical Sciences from the Association of American Medical Colleges. He has received honorary doctorates from 13 universities.
The event is sponsored by the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists Student Chapter, Department of Pharmacy Practice, Center of Biopharmaceutical Research and Production, Center for Visual and Cognitive Neuroscience, Center for Protease Research and Office of the Provost.

Question: How long does a forehead lift take to perform?
Answer: That really depends on the method for the procedure and the experience and speed of the surgeon. There are two major methods for forehead lifting: open (coronal, pretrichial) and closed (endoscopic, limited incision). The open method obviously takes more time to perform than the endoscopic but in experienced hands oftentimes not that much more time. I personally no longer perform browlifts due to my belief that fat transfer to the brow works well enough to rejuvenate the brow. However, an endoscopic browlift can oftentimes be perfomed in an hour or two, and an open approach would probably take about double that time.
