66 Die in Train Bombing in India

HeadlinesFeb 19, 2007

A bombing in India has killed at least 66 people aboard a train bound for Pakistan. The attack came on the eve of peace talks between the two countries. Most of the victims were Pakistani. Indian officials said explosives were found in two suitcases.

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri: "The timing is very, very — I suppose, it’s indicative of the minds of those who’ve done it. I’ll be leaving tomorrow for Delhi to further the peace process. I don’t think governments of India and Pakistan would, or definitely should not, allow this incident to or the perpetrators of the incident to achieve their objectives."

Car Bombing in Baghdad Kills 60

HeadlinesFeb 19, 2007

In Baghdad, 60 people died on Sunday in a pair of car bombings in a mainly Shiite shopping district. It was the deadliest attack in the Iraqi capital since U.S. and Iraqi troops began a security crackdown last week. Minutes before the attack, a joint patrol of U.S. and Iraqi police had posed for pictures on the street corner where the first bomb exploded. The attack came a day after Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made a surprise visit to Baghdad and said the new security effort in Baghdad appeared to be off to a good start. On Friday, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki called the crackdown a "dazzling success." Another 18 people died in a series of bombings in Baghdad today.

House Passes Nonbinding Resolution Opposing Escalation of War

HeadlinesFeb 19, 2007

On Capitol Hill, the House has passed a nonbinding resolution opposing the escalation of the war in Iraq. The resolution passed by a 246-to-182 vote. Meanwhile in the Senate, Republicans on Saturday blocked a vote on a similar resolution.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi: "The passage of this legislation will signal a change in direction in Iraq that will end the fighting and bring our troops home safely and soon."

Several Democratic lawmakers are now proposing ways to limit President Bush’s power to expand the war.

Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI), chair of Senate Armed Forces Committee: "I think we’ll be looking at a modification of that authorization in order to limit the mission of American troops to a support mission instead of a combat mission. And that is very different from cutting off funds. I don’t think there is support to cut off funds. I think that sends the wrong message to our troops. We’re going to support our troops, but one way to support them is to find a way out of Iraq earlier rather than later."

A group of Republicans are continuing to criticize the Democratic leadership for bringing the nonbinding resolution to a vote.

Texas Congressman Sam Johnson: "Debating nonbinding resolutions aimed at earning political points only destroys morale, stymies success, and emboldens the enemy. The grim reality is that this House measure is the first step to cutting funding of the troops."

Cindy Sheehan Calls for Impeachment of President Bush

HeadlinesFeb 19, 2007

Meanwhile, peace activist Cindy Sheehan criticized the Democrats on Saturday for not doing enough to stop the war. She called for the impeachment of President Bush. She spoke at an emergency summit on impeachment in New York.

Army's Top Medical Facility in a State of Disrepair

HeadlinesFeb 19, 2007

The Washington Post is reporting the U.S. Army’s top medical facility — the Walter Reed Army Medical Center — has turned into a "virtual town of desperation and dysfunction." The paper reports finding hospital rooms infested with mouse droppings, cockroaches, stained carpets, rodents and black mold.

Iran Accuses U.S. of Involvement in Deadly Bombing

HeadlinesFeb 19, 2007

The Iranian government is accusing the United States and Britain of being involved in an attack last week that killed 11 members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. The Los Angeles Times reports Iranian officials said bullet cartridges bearing a U.S. insignia and English lettering were among the weaponry seized last week from Sunni militants allegedly involved in the attack. The Iranian allegations come a week after the Bush administration accused the Iranian government of supplying sophisticated bombs to anti-U.S. forces in Iraq.

Report: Rove Received Iran Peace Offer in 2003

HeadlinesFeb 19, 2007

Meanwhile, a former congressional aide has revealed that President Bush’s chief adviser Karl Rove personally received a copy of a secret offer from the Iranian government to hold negotiations four years ago. The Bush administration decided to ignore the grand bargain offer. Last week, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice claimed she had never even seen the document. At the time, Iran said it would consider far-reaching compromises on its nuclear program, relations with Hezbollah and Hamas and support for a Palestinian peace agreement with Israel. Rove’s involvement was first reported by the Inter Press Service.

Rice, Olmert and Abbas Hold Talks

HeadlinesFeb 19, 2007

In Israel, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has concluded her talks with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. It marked the first high-level talks in four years. The talks come just a week after the Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah agreed to form a coalition government. Even before the talks began, Israeli officials dismissed the new Palestinian government.

Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni: "The agreements between Fatah and Hamas unfortunately ... and before the formation of the future Palestinian government, the understandings doesn’t meet the requirements of the international community. It is crucial to understand that Israel, with the international community, expects any Palestinian government to meet these requirements fully and completely."

100,000 Protest Expansion of U.S. Military Base in Italy

HeadlinesFeb 19, 2007

In Italy, over 100,000 protesters marched in Vicenza on Saturday to protest a plan to double the size of a U.S. military base in the city. Over 2,700 U.S. forces are already based in the Italian city. Critics of the plan say the base will be used as a staging post for the U.S. military to attack Iraq and Afghanistan. The protesters included several Americans, including John Gilbert, a professor at the University of Florence.

John Gilbert: "We are here today from Florence, Rome and other cities as United States citizens to say no to this mega base. Also in solidarity with the people that is demonstrating in New York today, for the retire of all the U.S. troops from Iraq, this demonstrations are complementary. There is nothing anti-American about them. We want a future for our children, which is a future of peace and global justice, not preventive war, no illegal renditions and torture."

Saturday’s protest in Italy came just a day after an Italian judge indicted 26 Americans, most of them CIA officers, in connection with the 2003 kidnapping of an Egyptian cleric from the streets of Milan. The Americans are expected to be tried in absentia. The Italian defense attorney Alessia Sorgato has been assigned to represent the CIA agents but she has never communicated with them.

Alessia Sorgato: "I have never seen them. I have never read something from them. We wrote some letters, but they prefer not to answer to us. But this is the right of a defendant not to come here and not to answer to his lawyer. It’s normal."

Destructoid interview: KORG DS-10 producer Nobuyoshi Sano

2008-11-14 15:43:15·  4 minute read   ·  Dale North@DaleNorth

The Korg DS-10 is musical-creation software and a synthesizer on a Nintendo DS cartridge. What a crazy idea! We wanted to talk to the people behind the idea of putting a synthesizer and music-making software on a portable game system. Fortunately, we had the chance to speak with composer/sound designer Nobuyoshi 'snodg' Sano, the musical genius behind many popular videogames, including several the Tekken and Ridge Racer series games.

Thanks to an after-work drinking session and his years of musical expertiese, Sano became one of the producers of the Korg DS-10.

Continue on to read our interview with Nobuyoshi Sano.

Destructoid: Some big names in Japanese videogame music came together to create the DS-10, yourself and Mr. Mitsuda included. Who originally came up with the idea of bringing a synth to a game system?

Nobuyoshi Sano: I went drinking with Mr. Okamiya of AQ Interactive, who is the other producer for DS-10 awhile ago and we started talking about how great it would be to make a synthesizer for the DS.

We know that this is an emulation of the classic electronic instrument, KORG MS-10. What made you choose this instrument over any other?

While we were drinking looking at an open DS, the shape looked like a KORG MS-10! So we said, “Let’s put a MS-10 into a DS!” Also, the very first synthesizer I bought was an MS-10, so that was another reason why we chose that model.

How cooperative was KORG? They were obviously happy enough with the end product to put their name on it, but in the beginning, was this title a difficult pitch?

When we presented the idea to KORG they were in the midst of doing some research on the DS. KORG is a very open-minded company and eager to take on new challenges so we had no problem pitching this title to them.

Thanks to the presets and some great demo tracks, it's easy to jump in and create music. But the more advanced parameters may confuse newcomers. Was there any concern that the software may be too complex for new users?

Our sole goal was to create a solid synthesizer on the DS, so to be honest, we really didn’t consider the new users very much. Also, when I purchased the MS-10 I was 13 years old and it fully immersed me and showed how fun it is to use a synthesizer without being too confusing, so I didn’t think it would be a problem.

In the development process, were there ever any reservations about bringing a full-blown synthesizer to a handheld game console?

Before starting the project we discussed with our co-development companies KORG and PROCYON STUDIO, which handled all the sounds other than the Synth engine part, and they both said with confidence that this could be done so, we didn’t have any doubts or concerns while in development. On the contrary, when KORG brought in the first prototype version on the DS, I had this sudden urge and even anxiety to hurry up and finish this project in order to “show-off” this title to everyone as soon as possible.

We've already seen the DS-10 used live, including alongside live instruments. In the creation process, were you mindful of its live use possibilities? What did you do to make it performance-friendly?

I did not think the live performance using the DS-10 would be this big and widely accepted. For functionality, the implementation of the MUTE button and SOLO button for each tracks in the PATTERN MODE were for the purpose of live performances. We see a lot of YouTube clips using these functions in ways that our development staff didn’t even imagine when we were creating them.

We're sad that we missed your performance at Extra- Hyper Game Music Event 2008 this year. We heard you performed arrangements of your music from Ridge Racer and Ridge Racer II. What were your highlights from that event? Did you perform any solos on the touch pad?

At Extra, the very popular game in Japan, Idolmaster, which is a music rhythm game which you become the producer of a pop star, WE did a live performance and that was the highlight of the event. I was really happy that our “Trio the DS-10” got a lot of hype and cheers too.

Also, Mr. Okamiya from AQ Interactive did an awesome solo play using the KAOSS Pad that was equivalent or even more powerful than his guitar play, and that really rocked the house. (Mr. Okamiya is the guitarist in the hard rock band “THE BLACK MAGES” which Final Fantasy’s Mr. Uematsu is also in)

Please check out how it went here:

Now that you have a strong team and a working relationship with Korg, is there any chance you'd release another DS musical product? Maybe a ROMpler like the M1, with a built-in sequencer?

We would love to continue making more products like the DS-10 in the future. Please look forward to them!

Thanks so much to XSEED and Nobuyoshi Sano for their time. Make more synths, please!

Finally shots of my daughter...

Re: Finally shots of my daughter...

I shoot lots of portraits, HS Seniors included.  Think about using just a window and the reflector.  Its constant light so you can see it and its soft light so young ladies will approve.  I've made a lot of customers very happy using only a window and a reflector.

Check out Black Foamy Thing   I can't imagine shooting an event without a piece of black foam on each flash. Really good site to learn about using flash.  After that you're into umbrellas, softboxes etc etc.

You can do wonders with one light, even if the light is a window, and a reflector.  Most importantly, learn about high key vs low key, lighting ratios and the 4 properties of light: Intensity, Color, Direction and Quality (Hard or Soft).  That'll get you thinking and planning, sort of like a road map which is useful even if you know how to drive.

GH3 EVF smearing?

Re: GH3 EVF smearing?

Reporting the same observations here. The OLED is nice yes, but everything else feels like a downgrade the GH2 viewfinder. Rotating my eyeball towards the corners of the viewfinder gives me a fuzzy image, with everything streaking out from the center. I have to move my whole eyesocket to the left of the viewfinder to see a sharp image in the right corners.

Even in the center it's not as sharp as the GH2 which I guess is because it's using an RGB pixel layout rather than displaying RGB in sequence on each pixel.

Also, is it just me or is the apparent size of the viewfinder smaller than in the GH2?

Re: What is this fascination with iso6400?

That statement was made under the context that price was the only reason a f/1.4 prime wasn't used.

Context is always important, much like how my whole reply wasn't against the existence of ISO6400 per se, but this alleged need for even superior performance at such settings---if you cared for technical excellence to that extent, there's faster and more pragmatic ways of achieving it than complaining in an online forum about how Sony or Canon needs to improve their sensors because their current ones are "trash". If your viewpoint is "I'm happy ISO6400 exists" rather than "noise is unacceptable at these settings" then my reply should be utterly irrelevant to you, though I suspect some of you will still find reason to be offended in any case.

A Nice Dx system for a beginner?

Well I want to get into this and yada yada, I want a D7100 but someone brought to my attention that I should get good lenses then the body.

So can someone recommend me a Decent Body + Good lens combo for like 900-1000 Dollars?

I would prefer the body being produced 2009+

but I've been thinking about Maybe a D90 body with a good lense or a D3000 body with a good lense?

I haven't been able to grasp the concept of the lenses because I haven't been able to work with any.this is why I'm asking

I will mostly be taking

Nature/scenery ,Portraits and the occasional Street photography of buildings etc.

I won't be using this body for a long time, well I plan on using it till the D7200 comes out ( If it does) then upgrading to the D7100 or maybe the D7200(If it does come out) so I hope that kinda gives you an Idea of how long I plan on using the decent body you recommend me.

I've also been on the Nikon Dx fourms a lot recently asking questions hope I'm not bothering or boring anyone.

Thank you for your time.

How long should I expect a good response to this drug! I was on Remicade for 10 years and worked great but just suddenly stopped working. Any information would be appreciated/


text: I'm down to a very low dose of Lorazepam (.125 mg once/day) in my weaning process; however, I'm still experiencing horrible withdrawals... shakiness, jittery, breathlessness, headaches, etc and last night I was awakened in the middle of the night by panic attacks that made me wonder if I was dying. Tried to call my psych drs office several times and couldn't get through on the phone..it was either busy or it rang 20 times and no one answered so I went to see my family dr. She prescribed a Beta Blocker (10 mg. Propranolol) and said that it may help minimize some of the horrible withdrawal symptoms The only problem is I'm afraid to try to take it because the paperwork that the pharmacy gives you when you pick up medication specifically says that it is not recommended for use if you have asthma... and I have asthma. Does anyone know of maybe some other non-medication that might help me? I've read some things where people talk about chamomile tea, kava kava, and some other herbs.

U.S. Pays Highest Prices for Cancer Meds: Study

Posted 6 Jun 2016 by

MONDAY, June 6, 2016 – The United States pays the highest prices in the world for generic and brand-name cancer drugs, a new study has found. However, as the world's wealthiest nation, the United States is better able to pay for those pricey drugs than poorer countries with somewhat lower medication prices, added study lead author Dr. Daniel Goldstein. People in China and India are much less able to afford cancer drugs than Americans, he said, even though U.S. monthly drug prices are about three to six times higher in the United States. That doesn't mean America came out on top in overall drug affordability, however. Developed nations such as Australia, England and Israel had the "best deal" in the world on cancer drugs, thanks to government programs that regulate drug pricing, the study found. "America is the wealthiest nation, but its drug prices are significantly higher – so much ... Read more

HIV Patients Less Likely to Get Treatment for Cancer: Study

Posted 17 May 2016 by

TUESDAY, May 17, 2016 – While powerful HIV medications are granting longer lives to many people infected with the virus, a new U.S. study shows these same patients are less likely to get treatment for cancer if it develops. It's not clear why the difference exists. It could reflect the decisions of physicians, patients or both. Whatever the case, the finding confirms that the gap persists even when patients have private insurance or are otherwise healthy, the study authors said. Previous research has suggested that "people with well-controlled HIV infection should be treated similarly to patients without HIV," said study author Dr. Gita Suneja. However, "even looking at cancer patients with private health insurance only, we saw that those with HIV infection were less likely to receive cancer treatment for many common cancer types," said Suneja. She is an assistant professor of ... Read more

Could Talk Therapy Ease Chemo-Related Memory Issues?

Posted 2 May 2016 by

MONDAY, May 2, 2016 – A type of psychotherapy might help cancer survivors deal with the long-term thinking problems some experience after chemotherapy, researchers say. It's estimated that about half of those who undergo chemotherapy for cancer develop what's often called "chemo brain." For instance, they may have trouble following conversations or remembering the steps in a project, according to background notes with the new study. Although usually mild, these changes can affect quality of life, job performance and relationships, said the researchers from the Eastern Maine Medical Center and Lafayette Family Cancer Center in Bangor, Maine. The researchers developed a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) program called Memory and Attention Adaptation Training to help cancer survivors prevent or manage these memory problems. Their study involved 47 breast cancer survivors who underwent ... Read more

Elderly With Advanced Colon Cancer Often Get Costly, Dubious Treatments: Study

Posted 10 Mar 2016 by

THURSDAY, March 10, 2016 – Expensive drugs are being given far more often to elderly patients with advanced colon cancer, but they offer almost no benefit, a new study suggests. "This research found that there is a trend for elderly late-stage colorectal cancer patients to receive newer, more expensive drugs," said lead author Cathy Bradley, associate director for population science research at the University of Colorado Cancer Center. "However, in spite of their receiving more drugs, no [significant] survival benefit was observed." In the study, published recently in the journal Medical Care, Bradley and her colleagues analyzed data on more than 16,000 Medicare patients with advanced, or metastatic, colon cancer and 4,000 patients with advanced rectal cancer. (Metastatic means the cancer has spread from the original tumor to other parts of the body.) They discovered that among ... Read more

Fewer Childhood Cancer Survivors Dying From 'Late' Effects

Posted 13 Jan 2016 by

WEDNESDAY, Jan. 13, 2016 – Fewer childhood cancer survivors are dying years later from lingering effects of the treatment that conquered their cancer, a new study finds. Experts called the report, published in the Jan. 14 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, "very good news." "The findings substantiate what experts in the field have hoped would be true," said lead researcher Dr. Gregory Armstrong, of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, in Memphis, Tenn. Survival rates from many childhood cancers are high, but survivors still face what doctors call "late effects" – health problems that develop months to years after the cancer treatment has ended. Among U.S. children who survived cancer back in the 1970s and '80s, 18 percent died within the next 25 years, Armstrong said. Sometimes, the initial cancer comes back. Often though, the health issues are related to the very ... Read more

Childhood Cancer Treatment May Raise Adult Heart Disease Risk

Posted 5 Jan 2016 by

MONDAY, Jan. 4, 2016 – Children who survive cancer may face a higher risk of heart disease as adults, new research suggests. The lingering effects of the treatments that saved their lives as children may trigger the development of heart abnormalities that might not cause apparent symptoms, the researchers explained. The investigators found that heart disease appears to affect between 3 percent and 24 percent of pediatric cancer survivors by the time they reach their 30s. Those figures rose to between 10 and 37 percent among patients 40 and older, the study found. However, while the study revealed a link between childhood cancer treatment and later heart disease, it didn't prove cause-and-effect. "The prevalence of these cardiac findings might be expected in an older adult population, but not necessarily in this young a population," said study lead author Dr. Daniel Mulrooney. ... Read more

Researchers Focus on Risk Factors for Leukemia After Breast Cancer Treatment

Posted 7 Dec 2015 by

MONDAY, Dec. 7, 2015 – Researchers say they're zeroing in on factors that may increase the risk of leukemia after breast cancer treatment. The findings are a step forward in determining ways to prevent this complication in breast cancer survivors. While the breast cancer treatments target malignant cells, they can also affect healthy cells and could increase the risk of leukemia later, the researchers said. The scientists looked at 88 breast cancer survivors with treatment-related leukemia and found that many had a personal and family history of cancer, suggesting a genetic susceptibility to cancer. Also, 20 percent of the women had an inherited gene mutation that increases the risk of breast cancer, according to the study published Dec. 7 in the journal Cancer. "The findings justify a long-term, follow-up study of women with and without inherited breast cancer gene mutations who are ... Read more

U.S. Oncologists Decry High Cost of Cancer Drugs

Posted 23 Jul 2015 by

THURSDAY, July 23, 2015 – Soaring costs for cancer drugs are hurting patient care in the United States, a group of top oncologists claim. "High cancer-drug prices are affecting the care of patients with cancer and our health care system," Dr. Ayalew Tefferi, a hematologist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., said in a Mayo news release. Tefferi and his colleagues made a number of recommendations on how to address the problem in a commentary published July 23 in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings. Allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices is one of the suggestions the team of 118 leading cancer experts offered as a possible solution. Along with their recommendations, the group also expressed support for a patient-based grassroots movement on that is demanding action on the issue. "The average gross household income in the U.S. is about $52,000 per year. For an insured patient with ... Read more

Medicines Are Biggest Culprit in Fatal Allergic Reactions: Study

Posted 10 Oct 2014 by

THURSDAY, Oct. 9, 2014 – Although food allergies have garnered a lot of attention lately, a new study reports that medications are actually the biggest cause of sudden deaths related to allergy. Over a little more than a decade, nearly 60 percent of the allergy-related deaths were caused by medications, while less than 7 percent were caused by food allergies, the study found. "Medications can be dangerous," said study researcher Dr. Elina Jerschow, director of the Drug Allergy Center at Montefiore Medical Center and assistant professor of medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, in New York City. While research from other countries has reported medications as a major culprit in anaphylaxis-related deaths, Jerschow said, the problem has been less defined in the United States. One reason is that there is no national registry for anaphylaxis deaths, she said. The study was ... Read more

Cancer Chemotherapy Tied to Slight Rise in Risk for Leukemia

Posted 14 Feb 2013 by

THURSDAY, Feb. 14 – Chemotherapy can be a lifesaver for thousands of cancer patients, but a new study suggests that it might slightly raise the odds for a type of leukemia later in life. Over the past 30 years, the risk for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has increased for patients who underwent chemotherapy for certain forms of cancer, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the new study found. On the other hand, the researchers from the U.S. National Cancer Institute said other cancer survivors may have a reduced risk for AML due to a change in chemotherapy agents that occurred decades ago. One expert not connected to the study stressed that cancer patients need to put the findings into perspective. "It's important to realize that the risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia related to prior chemotherapy is small and increases with the number of chemotherapy treatments given over time," ...

Many Primary Care Docs Don't Know Long-Term Effects of Chemo: Survey

Posted 16 May 2012 by

WEDNESDAY, May 16 – Many primary care doctors don't know the long-term side effects of the chemotherapy treatments that cancer survivors under their care may have been given, a new survey found. On the other hand, most oncologists – though not all – are familiar with the side effects of four common treatments used to treat breast and colon cancer, according to the results of the survey being presented at the upcoming annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago. "While oncologists commonly identify the main late effects of four common cancer drugs, primary care providers did not," study author Dr. Larissa Nekhlyudov said during a Wednesday news conference. "This is not surprising in that primary care providers have different training and exposure to chemotherapy drugs," she noted.

More Evidence for Oxaliplatin as Colon Cancer Chemotherapy

Posted 22 Jan 2012 by

FRIDAY, Jan. 20 – Adding oxaliplatin to a standard chemotherapy regimen boosts survival rates for patients with advanced colon cancer, according to a new study that bolsters previous research on the drug by looking at a broader group of patients. "Physicians and patients should be reassured from our findings that oxaliplatin is associated with marginally but consistently superior survival for patients diagnosed before age 75 years in community settings," the study authors said in a news release. In past studies, oxaliplatin, as an adjuvant to the established treatment of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), improved survival by up to 23 percent. But the new study looked at a different group of colon cancer patients, who were older, sicker, more racially diverse and had never participated in a controlled clinical study.

Gene Mutation Linked to Chemo-Resistant Colon Cancer

Posted 4 Jan 2012 by

WEDNESDAY, Jan. 4 – Some people with advanced colorectal cancer are resistant to some types of chemotherapy, and a mutation in the so-called TFAP2E gene may play a part in that resistance, German researchers report. Knowing which patients carry the mutation might help doctors tailor treatments or develop new targets for therapy, the researchers said. "In our study, we identified a gene which is frequently altered in colorectal cancer," said lead researcher Dr. Matthias P.A. Ebert, an assistant professor of internal medicine at the University of Magdeburg. "This genetic alteration is associated with increased resistance to chemotherapy and radiation in colorectal cancers." The findings appear in the Jan. 5 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. For the study, Ebert's team analyzed how the TFAP2E gene functioned in colorectal cancer tumors. Overall, they looked at more than 200 ... Read more

Cancer Patients Should Ask Doctors to Use Simple Terms

Posted 28 Sep 2011 by

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 28 – Cancer patients are often faced with many difficult-to-understand treatment choices that can have serious side effects and even mean the difference between life and death. That's why it's crucial that patients insist doctors use plain language in explaining the options, advised Angela Fagerlin, an associate professor of internal medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School and a researcher at the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center. "People are making life and death decisions that may affect their survival and they need to know what they're getting themselves into. Cancer treatments and tests can be serious. Patients need to know what kind of side effects they might experience as a result of the treatment they undergo," Fagerlin said in a university news release. She and her colleagues outlined a number of tips to help patients get the information they need ... Read more

Chemo Combo May Help Stave Off Pancreatic Cancer Death

Posted 11 May 2011 by

WEDNESDAY, May 11 – A four-drug chemotherapy regimen for deadly pancreatic cancer nearly doubled patients' survival time compared to standard chemotherapy, a new study suggests. In late-stage trials, French researchers split a group of 342 patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, the most common form of the disease, into two groups. Half received gemcitabine, the standard treatment, while the rest received FOLFIRINOX, a four-drug combination of oxaliplatin, irinotecan, leucovorin and fluorouracil. The median survival time improved from 6.8 months for those in the gemcitabine group to 11.1 months in the FOLFIRINOX group, according to the study, which is published in the May 12 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Those in the combination group did suffer greater side effects from treatment, however. "We explain to the patients the advantages and toxicities of both ... Read more

Cartilage From Nose Used to Repair Damaged Knees

THURSDAY, Oct. 20, 2016 -- Using cells from the cartilage in patients' noses, Swiss doctors have successfully made patches to treat 10 adults whose knee cartilage was damaged by injury.

Two years after the transplants, most of the patients grew new cartilage in their knees and reported improvements in pain, knee function and quality of life.

"We have developed a new, promising approach to the treatment of articular cartilage injuries," said lead researcher Ivan Martin, a professor of tissue engineering at the University of Basel. The articular cartilage is the tissue that covers and protects the ends of the knee bones, and injuries to it can lead to degenerative joint conditions like osteoarthritis.

Although the results of this preliminary trial are encouraging, more research is needed before this technique could become widely available, Martin stressed.

"Before this can be offered to patients as a standard treatment, obviously it needs to be tested in a larger number of patients and in randomized trials with long-term assessment of clinical outcomes," Martin said.

The report was published Oct. 22 in The Lancet.

One joint repair expert welcomed the new approach.

"Treatment of cartilage injuries remains a significant clinical problem, and there is no gold standard treatment and no optimal treatment available," said Dr. Nicole Rotter, vice chair of the department of otorhinolaryngology at Ulm University in Germany.

Using cells from the nose for joint repair is completely new, added Rotter, who co-wrote an editorial accompanying the study. "Nasal cartilage might be a great source for cartilage repair; however, further clinical studies are required," she said.

For the study, Martin and colleagues took a small sample of cartilage cells from the patient's nose bone, then grew more cells by exposing them to growth hormone for two weeks. All the cells were then placed in a membrane of collagen and cultured for two more weeks.

The engineered graft was cut into the right shape and used to replace damaged cartilage after it was surgically removed from the patient's knee.

With the procedure, only a small sample of cells is taken from the nose, using a local anesthetic. After the knee is repaired, the patient is on crutches for six to eight weeks. It typically takes several months for a full recovery, the researchers said.

Two years after the procedure, MRI scans revealed that new tissue had developed that was similar to normal knee cartilage. In addition, nine patients reported improvements in the use of their knee and less pain. One patient was excluded because of several new sports injuries.

No bad reactions were reported, but two serious adverse events unrelated to the procedure occurred -- an independent injury in the untreated knee and new cartilage damage in other areas of the treated knee, the researchers said.

Dr. Matthew Hepinstall, an orthopaedic surgeon at Lenox Hill Hospital Center for Joint Preservation and Reconstruction in New York City, welcomed the new findings.

Even small articular cartilage injuries can cause pain, limit walking and running, and restrict joint motion, Hepinstall said. "Over time, surrounding healthy cartilage can deteriorate -- resulting in arthritis," he added.

A variety of surgical procedures have been developed to fill "potholes" in articular cartilage, with varying success, he said.

For the last two decades, surgeons have been able to take cartilage cells from the knee, grow them in a lab, and put them back into a patient's knee, Hepinstall said.

But that procedure requires two operations, Hepinstall noted.

This new study demonstrates the plausibility of taking cartilage cells from the nose in a less invasive procedure that only requires a local anesthetic, he said.

"If the study results can be duplicated and extended to a larger number of patients, this is a step forward in articular cartilage restoration, and I applaud the research efforts," Hepinstall said.

A Look Back At The AMD Athlon Processor Series

Posted on Wednesday, August 29 2007 @ 02:50:56 CEST by

Since the AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor 6400+ Black Edition is said to be the last speed improvement on the Athlon series we take a look at five years worth of Athlon processors to see how far performance has come using the latest benchmark utilities. Read on as LR starts with the Athlon XP 1800+ and five other Athlon processors to see how the processors fair.

"After going back five years and looking at the performance of the Athlon XP 1800+, it is amazing to see how far we have come in just five years. A good number of our readers still have Athlon XP systems in use and this article was a great opportunity to show them what they are missing out on as none of the major hardware review sites include these processor in updated performance charts any longer. The new Athlon 64 X2 6400+ processor is a welcomed addition to the Athlon series of processors, but it's sad knowing that this will likely be the last speed step for the Athlon series..."

NASA researchers working on lunar nuclear reactor

Posted on Friday, August 21 2009 @ 11:13:11 CEST by

Technology Review reports researchers at NASA and the Department of Energy recently tested key technologies for the creation of a nuclear fission reactor that could power a human base on the Moon or Mars. The tests provide evidence that it's feasible to build a safe, reliable and efficient system by 2020. Check it out over here.
Now nuclear power is being considered for lunar and Mars missions because, unlike alternatives such as solar power, it can provide constant energy, a necessity for human life-support systems, recharging rovers, and mining for resources. Solar power systems would also require the use of energy storage devices like batteries or fuel cells, adding unwanted mass to the system. Solar power is further limited because the moon is dark for up to 14 days at a time and has deep craters that can obscure the sun. Mars is farther away from the sun than either the Earth or the moon, so less solar power can be harvested there..

HDD-based MP3 players will become much more popular

Posted on Thursday, March 17 2005 @ 22:32:51 CET by

Everybody knows that MP3 players are a big hit right now and market research firm expects that this trend will continue. They published a report stating that MP3 player sales will hit 132 million by 2009, compared to 36.8 million units in 2004.

Currently the top three manufacturers are said to be Apple, Creative Labs and Rio respectively. But many other companies such as Sony are aiming to take a considerable market share.

Sales of HDD-based digital audio players were at 27 percent last year but by 2009 they should account for 43 percent of the market.

AMD to host its own conference in Taipei

Posted on Thursday, September 23 2010 @ 03:15:25 CEST by

Bright Side of News reports AMD will follow Intel's and NVIDIA's lead by hosting its own conference. The event will take place on October 18-20, 2010 in Taipei, Taiwan.
For as long as we can remember, AMD's way of showing up what's the latest and greatest with the company was done through two ways: Analyst Days which are usually open for only a limited amount of press, and no tech partners etc - and piggy backing off "the other big blue" when that company brings press and analysts for its IDF show in San Francisco's Moscone Center. Looking through a looking glass, that was a wise use of resources for some, but it also sent a message that AMD is an "also ran" company, rather than one of industry heavy-weights and a leader in a lot of technology fields.

In the past couple of years, AMD organized a single gathering, every year in October time in Taipei. However, this time around the company decided to evolve the event into a fully-blown conference, which is going to be hosted between October 18-20, 2010 in Taipei, Taiwan.

Goldman: Oil $150-200 in 24 months

Discussion in 'Wall St. News' started by turkeyneck, May 6, 2008.

  1. May 6 (Bloomberg) -- Crude oil prices may rise to between $150 and $200 a barrel within two years because of a lack of adequate supply growth, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. analysts led by Arjun N. Murti said in a report.

    ``The possibility of $150-$200 per barrel seems increasingly likely over the next six-24 months, though predicting the ultimate peak in oil prices as well as the remaining duration of the upcycle remains a major uncertainty,'' the Goldman analysts wrote in the report dated May 5.
  2. That guy should try and use a bigger range - maybe $10 to $1,000 within the next 86 to 940 months.
  3. Goldman has been pretty accurate on oil.
  4. Speculation as well as lack of supply but to go up this much this fast shows that there is a jacking up of prices. Wouldn't be surprised if Goldman was contributing to this escalation in oil price.
  5. LOL
  6. How to make money Goldman style.

    Last Friday : Attention Goldman traders: load up on oil, we will announce Tuesday.
    Tuesday: GS Press release : Oil will go to 150 - 200
  7. Mvic

    Triple margins and lets see how much of this is due to supply and demand.
  8. The government make this illegal. How could a firm that issue recommendations also able to trade and own products?

    I am studying the CFA, and think ethics is a joke. For example, if you think your employer is violate the ethic, you should quit your job. WTF is that???

  9. They're dreaming. The day oil hits 200, the US military would confiscate the oil fields in Iran, Iraq, and Venezuela.
  10. Eveningtrader,

    You are right on. You could pimp a stock on a forum and get jail time. You are a Goldman and you pimp a whole sector and you are rewarded.

Oil to $100 before the end of week!

Discussion in 'Energy Futures' started by The Kin2, Oct 28, 2007.

  1. This is very ambitious, but a perfect storm is brewing. Let's see if we can pump to $95 before fed. Then make the remaning $5 after fed. With some luck, we'll be able to celebrate!
  2. I hope not. How you will heat your home in the North?
  3. Same way I did last year. According to CPI, it's only 2 or 3% higher than last year.
  4. Surdo

    Why should home heating oil prices rise?
    Gasoline has only gone up @ the pumps .10/gallon, as crude is up $10/bbl....something ain't right in this equation, when this falls it is gonna fall hard.

    I happen to agree it will hit PAR before December $92.40 last!

    e s
  5. I don't understand either. Either crude is severely overpriced or gas and heating oil will skyrocket soon. Nevertheless, does this current situation present an excellent arbitrage oppurtunity?
  6. Don't speak too soon. Heating oil up 0.85 tonights trading 244.10 wholesale. +0.35% Gold just leapt to 791.30

    But as they say energy and food don't count towards CPI so FED can cut rate 25bp this week no worries! Hell cut rate 50bp as DOW is only up 9% YTD as the FED must ensure double digit increase for economy aka. Wall Street.
  7. ET sentiment top?

    I'm offering Dec crude @ 93, should trade there by the morning; looking to cover in a week or so.

    Don't be the guy holding the hot potato.
  8. Long or short it is a hot potato... Puts look more attractive.
  9. bluud

    that doesn't sound so good ... there is a great chance that fed will cut ... even 50 points ... there is also a great possibility of even more serious war between turkey and kurdistan
  10. BTW, At what price will oil hit its inflation adjusted peak. $100 should be very close to it.

Up and Running with Autocad® 2013 started out as a set of classroom notes that outlined, in an easy to understand manner, exactly how AutoCAD is used and applied, in contrast to theoretical musings or clinical descriptions of the commands as found in other books. This book attempts to use experience and top-level knowledge to sort out what is important and what is secondary, and to explain the essentials in plain language. This volume comprises 20 chapters, beginning with the AutoCAD fundamentals. The following chapters then focus on layers, colors, linetypes, and properties; text, Mtext, editing, and style; and hatch patterns; dimensions; blocks, Wblocks, dynamic blocks, groups, and purge. Other chapters cover polar, rectangular, and path arrays; basic printing and output; advanced linework; options, shortcuts, CUI, design center, and express tools; advanced design and file management tools; advanced output and pen settings; and isometric drawing. Each chapter in the book ends with a summary and some review questions to aid the reader in retaining essential concepts. This book will be of interest to engineers, architects, and industrial designers.

I am in 2nd secondary and my school in Saudi Arabia teaches me literature and integrated studies. Actually it's not easy to me as a beginner but I really enjoy it. It's a thick book includes very interesting novels and poems …etc. in addition, it includes pictures for each story and they're often real pictures from the movies. It's a great book from my school I think it's not cheep : ) . we can't study all of it in the school I told you it's not easy. We spend almost 10 periods to discuss one story. I hope I can read the whole book and then I'll have very good English. But my problem is when I find a lot of new and difficult words I feel bored and stop reading. What I suppose to do ?? advise me please ..

( please if I had any mistakes in my writing tell me in grammar, spelling or anything else . I should learn from my mistakes. ) thank you …

ILOVELITERATURE! There's no doubt about it. I'm an English major so it naturally follows that I'd fall in love with it. Ever since I can remember, I've been reading books - from comic books and magazines to romantic novels and classical ones. Reading is one of my passions. Right now I'm into the THORN BIRDS by Colleen McCullough. I have read it for like more than 10 times already but I never get tired of reading it. It's a very good book. A study in character development. It's just one of my favorite books but if I'd be ask to recommend another book I'd choose JONATHAN LIVINGSTONE SEAGULL by Richard Bach. This book is very inspirational; it's words are very simple but very beautiful. If you're seeking perfection, you'll definitely learn something here. If you feel you're different or unique and nobody understands your quest for individuality, this book is for you.

For those who would like to improve their English, one way of achieving it is by reading - a lot! You can widen your vocabulary and your grammar when you read. Don't let yourself be bored. When you have nothing better to do...READ! Take it from me. It works! :D

:mrgreen: I confess I'm lazy to read. Still, when I read a book, I enjoy it a lot, and I research on the book, the age and other information to know more about the book.

When literature is taught in an interesting way, it could be the best subject in the world! :wink:

Explain the author's use of the narrator to explain the town's obsession with Emily Grierson's life in  "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner.

1 Answer | Add Yours

Posted on

In “A Rose for Emily,” William Faulkner employs a narrator who tells the story from the vantage point of a citizen of the town.  Little details about the narrator are given; however, he is essentially the main character.

The narrator controls the fractured time sequence and conveys important aspects of the story.  Essentially, the unnamed narrator speaks for the town.

The story is divided into five parts with each part depicting important scenes, slowly preparing the reader for the gruesome resolution of the story.

The narrator’s commentary denotes the actions and thoughts of the townspeople.  From the details that the narrator provides, the townspeople watched obsessively Emily’s life.  This obsession culminates in the aftermath of the funeral when the citizens finally can enter the  Grierson’s home and discover for themselves what is in the upstairs bedroom.

Following the fractured time frame, the narrator begins and ends the story with Emily’s death.  There are many incidences in each section. Only one per section will be discussed.

Section I

Emily’s funeral is attended by everyone in town.  The women wanted to get inside her house to snoop and the men to pay their respects.

Colonel Sartoris intended for Emily never to pay taxes.  After his death, the new council began to hound Emily to pay her taxes.  A taskforce is sent to her house to further emphasize that she owed money. The group is quickly dismissed by Emily.

“See Colonel Sartoris. I have no taxes in Jefferson.”

Section II

In this section, the neighbors complain to the mayor about a smell emanating from Emily’s property. After more complaints, a covert group of men sneak to her house at night and sniff out the smell’s location and place lime everywhere possible.

Although the town pitied Emily, they thought that the Grierson family was arrogant.  According to Emily’s father, none of the young men in town were good enough for her; consequently, he doomed Emily to a spinster’s life. The town was not pleased that Emily was alone but felt justified.

When her father died, the house was all that was left to her; and people were glad. At last they could pity Miss Emily.

Section III

When Homer Barron came to town, Emily and he begin a courtship; yet, Homer had specified that he liked men.  Rumors run rampant when the pair was seen riding around in a carriage every Sunday.

The town comments on the events of the courtship:

  • Glad that she had an interest
  • Never marry a northerner
  • Losing her reputation
  • Need family to intercede
  • Poor Emily
  • Whispering about what the pair was doing in the carriage
  • Fallen woman

Emily buys poison from the druggist.

Section IV

The town thought that Emily would use the poison to kill herself. It is suggested that she would marry Homer. Some women felt that Emily was setting a bad example for the young girls.  The women took action and sent for her cousins to watch over her.

The narrator comments that the town waited for what was going to happen next.

Emily ordered a lot of things with H. B. engraved on them.

The town reacted by saying that “They were married.”

The most basic features of African physical geography are deserts, rivers, and jungles.

Northern Africa is bounded on the north by the Mediterranean Sea and on the south by the Sahara Desert.  It generally has a Mediterranean climate near the sea.  In Tunisia and to the west, there are the Atlas Mountains between the ocean and the desert.

 The Sahara Desert covers a huge area of Africa—more than 3.6 million square miles.  It makes up part of the land territory of every country in North Africa.  The Nile River runs through the eastern part of the Sahara Desert, rising in the highlands of Ethiopia (Blue Nile) and in Lake Victoria (White Nile) and running to the Mediterranean.  It is the longest river in the world.

Africa has other big rivers.  These include the Zambezi, the Niger, and the Congo.  These rivers typically go over falls not far from the coast and cannot be navigated inland from the ocean.

Eastern Africa is made up largely of highlands.  The highlands in that region are cut by two rift valleys.  These are the Eastern Rift Valley and the Western Rift Valley.

South of the Sahara, much of Africa is made up of jungle.  There is also, however, the Namib and the Kalahari deserts in the south.  In addition, there are savannas in southern Africa.

This is, of course, a very brief look at the physical geography of this continent.

American culture changed in innumerable ways after the war.

As far as modes of transport go, there was a move towards much more use of cars and airplanes.  Before the war, airplane travel hardly existed and trains were much more prevalent than cars.  After the war, the advances in airplane technology led to the creation and expansion of passenger airlines.  After the war, the building of new roads and the new-found prosperity led to a boom in automobiles.

As far as fashion went, the most different thing was that women started to dress in much fancier ways than they had.  This is not at all surprising given that the years before had been full of poverty (Depression) or rationing (war).
