Chronic Fatigue Virus Saga Continues – Murine Leukemia Virus or MLV Found by FDA and NIH
August 23, 2010 by Chris Hempel
The chronic fatigue virus saga continues. Today, the NIH, FDA and CDC held a teleconference and provided additional evidence of an association between a virus and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. But instead of focusing directly on XMRV like I thought they would, most of the call was centered on a family of viruses called murine leukemia virus-related virus or MLV. Apparently, XMRV is one of several viruses of the MLV virus family.
Blood samples from more than 80% of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome were tested and found to have viral gene sequences and genetic code similar to those of murine leukemia virus (or MLV) which causes leukemia in mice.
The government researchers noted considerable genetic diversity among the MLV-like viruses they found in their CFS patients rather than the homogeneity of xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) linked in other studies to chronic fatigue syndrome. The researchers reported finding three distinct types of MLV-related virus gag sequences which apparently are more closely related to sequences of polytropic mouse endogenous retroviruses than to XMRV. XMRV is among several different members of the MLV family, researchers said.
The researchers, including Dr. Shyh Ching Lo of the FDA and Dr. Harvey Alter of NIH, we careful to not confirm that an infectious agent like MLV or XMRV causes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The good news is they were on the record to say they believe the central argument by the Whittemore Peterson Institute. They also said that WPI is now finding more genetic diversity in their CFS patients after doing further studies.
The researchers also discussed the need to continue the investigation of XMRV, MLV, and chronic fatigue syndrome. I hope they will take it further. My six year old identical twins are infected with XMRV and we need studies on children that that have genetic conditions like Niemann Pick Type C combined with XMRV infection — do they influence each other? I believe they do. Many kids like Addi and Cassi are dealing with two severe conditions at the same time — genetic conditions combined with viruses. Also, I am going to talk to Dr. Caroline Hastings, who not only treats Addi and Cassi, but also kids with leukemia. I am wondering if her patients would test positive for either of these viruses?

John Gatesby says:
It is interesting to know that the reason behind chronic fatigue syndrome is close to being found out and that is being attributed to a virus or rather a couple of sub-varieties of the main virus. I wish this paves the way for the creation of a vaccine or medicine that would give permanent relief to lots of patients.

CLEVELAND -- Once Michael Sam is drafted in the NFL, the Missouri defensive end will be judged strictly on whether he can play and whether he can help his team win. Everything else -- even that hes gay -- will be trivial. As the first openly homosexual player to enter the draft, Sam could face scrutiny unlike any player before him. But many of the greatest players and coaches in football history dont believe hell be subjected to any hatred, harassment, discrimination or bullying by teammates. "I dont think hell have any problem in the locker room. I dont think hell have any problems on the field," said Hall of Fame offensive tackle Art Shell. "The one thing about football players, theyre inclusive. They will take you for who you are, not what people try to portray you as. "Its who you are: Youre a football player, then you can play with us. I dont see that as being a problem in the National Football League." Shells stance was shared by several other Hall of Famers, including Lions running back Barry Sanders, Buffalo coach Marv Levy, and Giants linebacker Harry Carson, who appeared along with nearly 100 other inductees at a two-day "Fan Fest," the largest gathering ever of football legends outside Canton, Ohio. Sanders, who retired at the peak of his career following the 1998 season with 15,269 career yards rushing, believes theres an unwritten code among football players to ignore anything other than a persons skills and talents. "From the time youre a kid and you start playing, youre almost programmed for Can a guy play or not?" he said. "By the time you get to the NFL, thats well ingrained. Im pretty sure every guy in this league has been around gay individuals before, and so I dont think it will be much different." Sams courageous decision to reveal his sexual orientation was an important personal milestone. It was also an historic moment for the NFL and all major sports as it provides a deeper reflection of societys openness and willingness to accept his individuality. Sams revelation may not have been met with such overwhelming approval just a few years ago. In the macho arena that is pro football, Sam may have been an outcast in previous generations. "Hes a very bold guy to come out," said cornerback Michael Haynes, a nine-time Pro Bowler elected to the Hall of Fame in 1997. "The timing is good. If hed done that in the 60s or 70s, maybe not so good because everybody was really struggling with how to understand differences like that in people. "Diversity has become a critical topic, people are talking about it all the time and I think the world is different. Remember Magic Johnson with AIDS? It starts with education. Hell be judged on football." Carson, who retired in 1988 after 13 seasons in New York, said he was "proud" of Sam for choosing to be open about his sexuality. Carson recalled that one of his Giants teammates, offensive lineman Roy Simmons, was suspected as being gay and was never ostracized. "It never really swayed anyones opinion of him," Carson said. "But its something he lived with and he didnt have to by himself because he had teammates, and the teammates he had were guys who supported him. Even though he never said anything, were a team and guys on the team who are unselfish are going to support their teammates regardless of how they choose to live their lives." Simmons, the first player to acknowledge he was HIV positive, died early this year. He was 57. Its possible there will be some awkwardness for Sam in the locker room, where he could be subjected to jokes and playful ribbing. Sanders believes those days are long gone. "Guys are more forward thinking than you think," he said. "It helps that hes a big guy. No one will mess with him." The 6-foot-2, 261-pound Sam has been projected to be drafted from the third round on. Sam didnt perform well on the field at the scouting combine, where he calmly handled tough questions about his decision to "come out." Levy, who led the Bills to four straight Super Bowls, said his criteria before deciding to draft Sam would be pretty simple. "Is he the best guy at his position when were on the board, and do we need a guy at that position?" the 89-year-old Levy said. "If so, Ill take him. Id like to know his character qualities and other things, but that would not factor into my decision." If he were coaching a team that selected Sam, Levy said he would not feel any need to address his players. That may not have been the case 10 or 20 years ago. "I wouldnt make an issue of it," Levy said. "I think society has adjusted to the point where its an acceptable thing and why make an issue of it? That would be my approach. Things change, plus Ive got to worry about how to pick up the blitz." Chauncey Gardner-Johnson Jersey . LOUIS -- To stay a step ahead of goaltenders, T. Wholesale Saints Jerseys . As the schedule flipped from November to December, they would go on to drop five straight, falling six games below the .500 mark before a franchise-altering trade turned them into an unrecognizable team. http://www.cheapsaintsjerseyselite.com/. Sociedad remained in sixth place with Villarreal a point behind in seventh, both in Europa League spots and in striking distance of fourth place and the final Champions League berth. Sociedad forward Carlos Vela chipped goalkeeper Jaime Jimenez after receiving an equally exquisite lobbed pass from Ruben Pardo to set him up in the 23rd minute at Anoeta Stadium. Cheap New Orleans Saints Jerseys . -- Albert Pujols is thrilled to have a reason to forget about his first two disappointing seasons with the Los Angeles Angels. Erik McCoy Jersey . Ibrahimovic put PSG ahead when he got in front of his marker to neatly flick in Lucass cross in the 59th minute. New signing Yohan Cabaye came on as a second-half substitute and headed Ezequiel Lavezzis cross against the post in the 87th. Moments later, Lucas set up another goal from the right when fellow countryman Alex turned in his corner with a strikers finish.Peter Budajs exit from Montreal came by request. The 32-year-old Slovak netminder was dealt to the Winnipeg Jets Sunday, handing the Canadiens back-up job to Dustin Tokarski. However, Budajs agent Rolland Hedges confirmed to RDS that the former Habs back-up requested a trade out of Montreal after the teams Eastern Conference Final loss to the New York Rangers. In an interview with RDS, Hedges stated that he believes the move to Winnipeg will benefit his client. Its a good opportunity for Peter, Hedges told RDS Sunday. Peter just wanted to go to a team that wanted him. Budaj appeared in 24 games for the Canadiens in 2013-14, going 10-8-3 with a .909 save percentage and a 2.51 save percentage. However, when starter Carey Price went down in Game 1 of the Conference Final, head coach Michel Therrien ultimately gave the crease to Dustin Tokarski, who saw just three games with the Canadiens during the regular season. Budaj wouldd finish Game 1, saving five of eight shots in the third period, but it was Tokarski that would play the rest of the series.dddddddddddd The Canadiens would lose in six games. With all three netminders in camp, Hedges knew that a move was coming sooner or later for his client. Still, the opportunity in Winnipeg - where Budaj will begin as a back-up but may even get a chance to start if Ondrej Pavelec can not improve on his .901 save percentage from 2013-14 - came as a pleasant surprise for both agent and client. I cant say we were expecting it today, but we were hoping for it, Hedges said. We expected something to happen in the next few weeks, but you never know at this time of year. Budaj himself took to Twitter on Sunday night to reach out to the Canadiens fan base. Thanks for all the support habs fans. It was a privilege to be part of Montreal Canadiens....

My 8th, and probably least memorable show. I don't think it was as awful as another poster here. But it wasn't great. Off night. Muddy sound. Could have been the venue as far as the sound goes. Still....there were a couple great performances. I remember being a little saddened, because I loved the BG album. I guess the great show on this tour was Houston. That's where all the great boots come from anyway. Don't remember hating it or loving it. It's probably the only Yes show I wouldn't miss, if I hadn't gone. Wouldn't have changed anything but my show count.

It's the climactic part of Shoot High Aim Low just before the drum break. Meanwhile, Jon is struggling to be a multi-instrumentalist: he's trying to play chords on his keyboard with his right hand while doing the rhythm on tambourine in the left. He's failing miserably. When he concentrates on getting the timing right on the tambourine, he gets the chord changes wrong. When he concentrates on the chord changes he can't get any of the beats right on tambourine.
While I'm watching this, I'm cracking up, listening to the mess he's making sonically as well. Fortunately, the rest of the band's noise covers his keyboard up for the most part. But anyone could hear the poorly shaken tambourine and wonder what drunk fan is trying to play along with the band with his own smuggled-in percussion.
Alas, it's Jon...
Hopefully, by now, Jon has learned where his strengths lie.

By Brent on 6 January 2002
I keep my Sunday schedule pretty clear, so I’m able to keep up with it. This keeps my Sundays relatively stress-free, which is evidently somewhat unusual these days.
In any event, I baked some light-brown molasses spice cookies today, and read the first two-thirds of Zelazny’s Nine Princes in Amber, which strikes me as having a fascinating literary premise, which is obviated a third of the way through the novel, and makes the rest of the book comparatively dull. Perhaps that’s just me, though.
I watched Cats and Dogs, which was enjoyable and really presented well, but suffered from a predictable ending and major plot holes. Can’t win ’em all, I suppose.
I also caught a few interesting, obscure TV shows this morning. Totally Spies is an action/adventure cartoon aimed at tween girls, but is surprising because it’s drawn in a hybridized American / manga style. The art and backgrounds are constructed more like an American cartoon, while the facial expressions are definitely anime influenced — shocked characers are drawn with brightly-colored lines behind them, I saw several large sweatdrops of embarrasment, and there was even one hand-held-behind-the-head-in-embarrassment gesture.
And if you get a chance to watch The Weekenders, I encourage you to try it out. It may have a fairly traditional American cartoon construction — focusing on a clutch of roughly tween friends, with one painfully obvious moral in every episode — but it features surprisingly witty dialogue and amazingly high animation quality. It looks smooth, something that few American TV cartoons are accused of being.
While channel-surfing, I also discovered — to my delight — that The Sci-Fi Channel is now showing two brilliant and short-lived series: Now and Again and the new Fantasy Island.
One feels a certain sense of contentment when sitting inside next to a window on a cold January night, as foul winter weather blows by mere inches from your smiling face. One has this self-satisfied glow, knowing that Jack Frost is spreading a layer of his own special white icing on the lawns and streets outside. And, more importantly, that one is not subject to those treacherous sidewalks and slippery roads.
…And then one remembers the imminent drive to work next morning. That is certain to be an adventure.
But maybe one will be unable to drive to work tomorrow, and can spend the whole next day sitting inside, next to a window, as foul winter weather blows by mere inches from your smiling face….

Colts are 7.5-point underdogs at New England
by Brian · Published January 6, 2014 · Updated January 14, 2014
Published on Sunday, 1/5/14, at 10:15 p.m. Eastern.
The survivors of Wild Card Weekend include San Francisco, San Diego, Indianapolis and New Orleans. The road teams went 3-1 straight up, while the ‘under’ cashed tickets at a 3-1 clip.
The road teams nearly went unbeaten, but Indianapolis pulled off the second-biggest comeback in NFL postseason history. The Colts rallied from a 38-10 third-quarter deficit to win a 45-44 decision as short home underdogs.
Andrew Luck threw four touchdown passes and added another TD run on a play that was nearly disastrous. RB Donald Brown coughed up a rare fumble, but Luck scooped it up and then plunged into the end zone in jaw-dropping fashion.
The win by the Colts sets up yet another playoffs showdown with arch-rival New England. The Patriots were listed as 7.5-point home favorites as of Sunday night. The total is 53 for ‘over/under’ wagers. Indy is +270 on the money line (risk $100 to win $270).
With its walk-off field goal from Phil Dawson, San Francisco beat Green Bay 23-20 on the frozen tundra. The Packers have been one-and-done in the playoffs in three consecutive seasons since winning the Super Bowl. They have been sent into vacation by Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers the last two years.
San Francisco has been installed as a 1.5-point road favorite at Carolina in the NFC semifinals. The total is 43 and the short home underdogs are +110 on the money line.
New Orleans needed a walk-off FG to escape Philadelphia with a 26-24 win as a three-point underdog. The 50 combined points stayed ‘under’ the 54.5-point total. The Saints hooked up money-line supporters with a +140 payout (risk $100 to win $140).
Sean Payton’s team now travels back to Seattle as an eight-point underdog. The Seahawks mashed the Saints 31-13 as three-point home ‘chalk’ on Dec. 8.
The Seattle-New Orleans total is 48. Gamblers can take the Saints to win outright for a +320 return (risk $100 to win $320).
Cincinnati was 8-0 both straight up and against the spread at home during the regular season. But the Bengals went into Bunguls form Sunday in a 27-10 home loss to the Chargers as seven-point home favorites.
Cincy QB Andy Dalton was atrocious as his record in the postseason fell to 0-3. After the game, he refused to take ownership of his abysmal performance, repeating the tired old mantra that “QBs get too much blame” in defeat.
The Chargers, who won outright at Denver last month, ventures back into the Mile High City. Denver is favored by 9.5 with a total of 55.
Peyton Manning is searching for his first postseason victory since joining the Broncos. He’ll also be trying to avoid a ninth career dismissal from the postseason in the first game for his club.

The Cantrell Chronicles
The life and times of the Cantrell family, through the generations. A Sims 3 Random Legacy Challenge blog.
Chapter 3: The distance from A to where you'd B
Anastacia Cantrell was born some months later, and was naturally assigned the Athletic trait (which Miles was secretly pleased about, being an Athletic Sim himself). Together, Hailey and Miles chose the Loves The Outdoors trait to compliment this. Appaloosa Plains was the perfect place for outdoorsy Sims, and they wanted Anastacia to love growing up here.
She was feisty right from the start, but loved nothing more than snuggling up to her mum when feeling tired.
In the early days, Hailey took the reigns when it came to caring for her. The garden could wait, she decided, and they couldn't afford for her and Miles to be losing out on money, especially when Miles earned more than she did. Eventually, they wanted to extend the house to give Anastasica a room of her own. At the moment, the crib was in their bedroom, and Hailey and Miles barely slept.
It was money which drove Miles to working long hours when all he wanted to do was curl up into bed, exhausted, or spend time with his family. No such luck. Miles was opportunistic; he felt compelled to take up any work or social-enhancing enterprise that came his way, and when his boss told him they wanted him to go to Egypt in order to investigate some foreign intelligence that might be relevant to Appaloosa Plains, his heart sank. He knew it was for the good of his career and, ultimately, his family, but it was the last thing they needed right now.
Hailey took it surprisingly well, considering. She agreed that the timing wasn't brilliant, but she told him she'd rather it was now than during Anastacia's all important toddler years. So Miles packed his case for a few week's stay at the Egyptian base camp. He reminded himself how lucky he was; many Sims in Appaloosa Plains had never gone outside of their own backyard, and here he was riding on a moped in one of the most exciting countries in the world.
Hailey missed him terribly. She was able to continue caring for Anastasia whilst keeping the house in good order, but all she wanted to see was Miles come home. Most days she barely had enough time to change, or run a brush through her hair. Anastacia continued to demand a lot of Hailey's time, and the fact that she was missing her daddy made things even worse, Hailey was sure of it.
She kept in contact with Miles via letters, which she wrote during Anastacia's mid-afternoon naps, whilst the lights shone through the kitchen windows and she was able to force herself to stay awake.
Dear Miles
I hope you've made progress with that Top Secret MorcuCorp thing that I'm not allowed to ask you about. The sooner you're done there, the sooner you'll be back here. I love you and I miss you, and Anastacia does too. Sometimes she looks at me like she's genuinely confused, as if she can't quite understand where you've gone. Well, that's not when she's wriggling around all over the place and forcing me to play with her until the small hours of the morning!
Nothing new has happened in Appaloosa Plains, that I've heard of anyway (I don't think I'd realise, I haven't been out of the house in days and am starting to go a little stir crazy.) My sister is still trying to work out whether she should leave her scumbag cheating husband, but I'm a little sick of talking to her about it now. She keeps crying when she comes round to see Anastacia, telling me I've got my whole life ahead of me and she's so old. She's not even that old! But she never listens to me so it's pointless trying to reassure her.
I hope that Al Simhara is as exciting as it seems to be in books. One day I'd love to go myself, preferably with you! Have you seen the Pyramids? The Sphinx? Just think, when Ana starts talking, you'll be able to tell her all about it. She'll love the stories of her daddy, the adventurer!
Anyway, I should go, as Ana will be waking up soon. Yumi is fine, by the way. She barked at the fridge for about an hour straight yesterday, but I've come to expect that from her by now.
Hailey xxx
Miles read the letter over a meal of Shawarma and smiled to himself. He would be travelling home soon, and couldn't wait to see his family again. Even though it had only been a couple of weeks since he'd been away, he missed them more than he thought was humanly possible. He had to laugh at Hailey's hopefulness at him being some kind of an explorer; he'd basically spent his entire time working with the locals in the area, and catching brief moments of sleep here and there, in order to stay alert enough to deal with any issues.
The next day, he travelled to The Date Palm House, where Fatima Amin lived. He had been working with her closely during his stay here, as she knew some information about MorcuCorp that could potentially shed light on the shady organisation that seemed to work underneath the law. All he had to do was persuade her to get herself and her family to a safe house that had been arranged by Miles, and then he would finally be able to go home.
Fatima was resistant at first; this was her home, and she didn't want to leave it. But, as Miles pointed out, with the HQ to a resistance movement against MorcuCorp underneath her house, it would only be a matter of time before they came looking for her. He sympathised, wondering what it would be like to be banished from his own home simply for trying to do the right thing, but after explaining the situation carefully, Fatima eventually gave in. Miles was pleased with himself; he'd been developing his persuasion skills recently and it made his job a lot easier.
When it was all over, he breathed a sigh of relief as he made the call for the taxi to pick him up and take him back to the airport. It was a long flight, but once he was back in his own country, headed towards Appaloosa Plains, all the tension and the worry from the trip seemed to fade away.
When he got back into the house, Hailey was snuggling up to Yumi as Anastacia, who had just grown up into a toddler, ate contentedly in her highchair. Miles took a moment to survey the scene, before Hailey noticed he was finally here, and he smiled, overwhelmed for a moment at how lucky he was to be able to come back to this.
When Hailey did see him, she merely smiled prettily. "The trash can is full, Mr Adventurer. Would you mind taking it out?"
Miles laughed. Yeah, he was definitely home.

Awww. I love the relationship between Miles and Hailey. *hearts*
And I'm going to love seeing Anastacia as a toddler! I love toddlers so much.
Miles' adventure seemed pretty cool. I'm debating whether or not I should buy World Adventures with a gift card I have. Do you like it?
Elly 24 November 2012 at 16:55
I love toddlers too although only took a few pictures of Anastacia as a toddler. :-/ I kind of suck at the whole picture taking thing, although I'm trying to make up for it now by taking pictures of everything, lol!
I do really like WA. It's a different sort of gameplay, but even if you don't like the adventuring aspect, there are still some nice opportunities to visit the different destinations. Miles was actually visiting on a Logic opportunity, so was only out there for about a day, but I love the way the three different countries look, and the things you can collect and buy in those countries. It's not one of my favourite expansions but it definitely is worth it if you've got most of the others.
AliH 24 November 2012 at 10:24
Nice chapter, I thought the letter from Hailey was very sweet and it was nice to see what was going on at home while Miles was away. I hope he doesn't get into trouble from his adventures though
Aww thank you. There will be a slight link with Miles' adventures and something that happens later on in the story, but you've got a little while to wait! :D

Aw how sweet. They're so in love. Such an adorable couple.
They really are in love in my game, it's adorable. They're always initiating romantic interactions and rolling wants to woo-hoo. I love it when sim couples seem truly in love. <3

2013 Chevrolet Cruze Review
Civic better watch out as this thing quietly Cruzes up behind
[Also read – Cruze down Memory Lane]
Honestly it’s not a car I had much of an opinion over. Seemed to me that it was probably a fairly okay offering in a heavily contested segment that featured the likes of heavy-hitters like the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic.
However, it turns out to be more than okay, in fact it’s very okay, especially for the money. And let’s bring that up right at the start.
You pay just AED61,500 for a 1.8LS (there is a 1.6 but it’s only available in Jordan and Iraq) but it’s worth stumping up the extra AED66,800 for the LT for the better brakes including ABS, as well as rear parking sensors (camera optional), fog lamps, 16-inch alloys, sound system (go for the optional six-speaker unit with the USB ports) and of course a six-speed auto mated to 1.8-litre engine producing 141bhp giving it a 0-100kph acceleration time of 10.9 seconds and a top speed of 190kph.
What all of that tells you is that you get a nicely equipped car for the money. What it fails to portray is the big car feel and comfort the little Cruze also manages to furnish you with.
For 2013 there has been a mild facelift, but I reckon they’ve been tweaking this thing under the skin too, because it’s considerably better than the last Cruze I drove several years back. The things that immediately stood out, was the low NVH (noise, vibration harshness) as the refinement is so much better than I was expecting.
Sound insulation is so good that the only thing that bothered me was the warning triangle knocking about in the boot. Space and seating position, even for the taller driver is good, and rear space is reasonable too. The fit and finish was also surprisingly more premium-esque than I was anticipating, and the updated MyLink system (a must have) gives the interface a modern and very user-friendly appeal.
There’s no way this could be described as a sports saloon, even allowing for the fact that engine on this brand new car with delivery miles only was a still a little tight and would improve as it loosened up, you’d be ill-advised to get into any street races with the little Chevy saloon.
It handles okay though, particular easy to thread through traffic and its size makes it ideal for tackling the urban crawl. Its agility and response is welcomed.
Frankly though, what we have here is a car that turns out to be a very strong contender for those looking to buy a handsome looking economical and practical commuter with good kit and comfort. In fact throw in the big car feel and the value-for-money, and you have a Chevrolet that actually trounces the Toyota and hops all over the Honda.

Praveen says:
I own a 2012 Chevy Cruze LS fitted with body kit (by the dealer) to give it that extra sporty look. It has completed an year and has ran 33,600 Kms so far. I’m completely happy with the car as such. I also have recommended it to so many of my friends over Corolla or Civic for that matter. Few things that disturbs me though are the noise inside the cabin that the car gives at high speeds, especially the squeaking noises from one of the seats and some vibration noises from both the front passenger doors. The fuel economy of the car is really very good, probably not as good as the Corolla. Although I do not have the navigation system (which even the salesman was not keen on me having one) and the rear view camera, the dealers provided me with an Aux unit and rear parking sensor. This was an outgoing model and they fitted it with almost everything that an LT version could look like. The speed and the power that the vehicle delivers does give thrills especially when I drive it on the highways. The review on the 2013 model somewhat makes me feel that the new model should be a much better one than it’s predecessor. Nevertheless, the looks of this car is just out of this world. Neither Corolla nor Civic or even Elantra for that matter comes close to it. I feel Kia Cerato could be a better looking one than Cruze.

Osun community mourns indigene who died alongside Attahiru, others in plane crash
Ibrahim Attahiru
Idoo community
Nigerian Army
Sergeant Opeyemi Adesina
By Timothy Agbor, Osogbo
Idoo Community in Egbedore Local Government Area of Osun State has described as shocking and a sad loss the death of one of its sons, Sergeant Opeyemi Adesina, in a plane crash that also claimed the lives of Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Ibrahim Attahiru, other officers and crew members on Friday, at the Kaduna International Airport.
Describing the demise of Sergeant Adesina as a colossal loss not only to the Idoo Community but also to the state and Nigeria as a whole, the community said the deceased would be missed by all.
Sergeant Adesina, who is popularly called Opeyemi by members of his community, is from Balogun’s compound in Idoo and he died about three weeks after his daughter’s dedication.
The spokesman of the community, Alhaji Akanni Olohunlomerue, in a statement made available on Saturday, described Sergeant Adesina as a soldier who will be missed by the community.
Osun community begs FG, State for assistance as windstorm renders many residents homeless
While praying for the repose of the soul of the deceased, the community leader also prayed to God to give the families of other dead victims the fortitude to bear the loss of their loved ones.
It would be recalled that Sergeant Adesina and 10 others including the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Attahiru, died in the ill-fated Beechcraft 350 that crashed in Kaduna on Friday.
Confirming the incident, the Army said the COAS was en route Kaduna from Abuja on Friday when the unfortunate incident occurred.
The late soldier and child
They were buried on Saturday at the Military Cemetery in Abuja.
Attahiru, who was appointed Chief of Army Staff on January 26, 2021, succeeded Tukur Buratai.

Springer 3 hits, RBI double in 10th as Blue Jays top Red Sox
(AP Photo/Mary Schwalm)
By MAUREEN MULLEN
BOSTON (AP) George Springer got three hits, including a 10th-inning double on the first pitch from Boston reliever Ryan Brasier that scored automatic runner Jackie Bradley Jr. and lifted the Toronto Blue Jays over the Red Sox 3-2 Wednesday night.
"Honestly, I was just looking to get Jackie to third," Springer said. "He's a really good pitcher, so I was just going up there looking to be aggressive."
Bradley started the 10th on second, the only time on base in the game for the former Boston outfielder. He signed with Toronto on Aug. 9, five days after being released by the Red Sox.
Adam Cimber (10-5) pitched a scoreless ninth, giving up one hit. Jordan Romano worked a scoreless 10th inning, issuing an intentional walk to Rafael Devers before getting his 27th save.
Brasier (0-3) took the loss.
"We have struggled offensively for a while, the swing-and-miss, the chasing," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said, "It's late August and it's the same at-bats. As a group, we have to take pride in that. We've got to be better. Make sure we swing at strikes and put the ball in play when it matters, and we haven't done that in a while."
Franchy Cordero's sixth homer, a two-run drive in the second off Jose Berrios, made it 2-0.
Berrios went six innings, giving up five hits and a walk with six strikeouts.
"The bullpen was outstanding and Berrios awesome," Toronto interim manager John Schneider. "You really can't say enough about the job the bullpen did in really tough spots . and Jordy just really, really clutch in the 10th. That was fun."
In his first start since July 24, Red Sox rookie Brayan Bello gave up two runs over five innings and struck out a career-high seven. The right-hander was activated from the injured list after missing 17 games with a right groin strain.
Springer singled in the fourth and later scored on a single by Alejandro Kirk.
The Blue Jays tied it the next inning on singles by Whit Merrifield, Springer and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Boston missed a couple of late-game opportunities.
In the seventh, with two outs against reliever Yimi GarcIa, the Red Sox loaded the bases when Bobby Dalbec walked, Reese McGuire singled and Jarren Duran reached on Guerrero's error at first base. Rob Refsnyder flied out to Bradley in center to end the threat.
Toronto left-hander Tim Mayza made his first appearance since Aug. 6 after being sidelined with a right shoulder dislocation, and the Red Sox put runners at second and third against him with one out.
Anthony Bass replaced Mayza and struck out Kike Hernandez, intentionally walked Cordero and struck out Dalbec.
Red Sox: SS Xander Bogaerts was out of the starting lineup after leaving Tuesday's game with mid-back spasms. ... LF Tommy Pham was out of the starting lineup after leaving Tuesday's game with low back spasms. ... After a hard slide into first base in Tuesday's game, INF/OF Christian Arroyo was out of the lineup with a sore back and knee. ... 2B Trevor Story, out since July 14 with a right hand contusion, got two at-bats and played second base in a rehab game with Double-A Portland. ... RHP Tanner Houck, on the injured list since Aug. 6 with lower back inflammation, began throwing on flat ground on Tuesday, the first step in his progression. ... RHP Tyler Danish, out since July 7 with a right forearm strain, is expected to restart a rehab assignment on Friday after being delayed by COVID-19.
The Blue Jays and Red Sox wrap up their series on Thursday with RHP Kevin Gausman (9-9, 2.99 ERA) scheduled to start for Toronto opposed by RHP Kutter Crawford (3-5, 5.14). Gausman has faced the Red Sox four times this season, going 3-0 (1.38). Crawford has faced the Blue Jays once in his career and took the loss earlier this season, giving up three runs in six innings.

Punjab bleeding itself to stay afloat
1 Comment 834 Views
Punjab: Deprived of cash flow and faced with a huge subsidy bill, the cash-strapped Punjab government has virtually been selling off over Rs 400 crore of its government securities each month this year, in order to stay afloat.
Since January 2009, the Punjab government has raised Rs 3,458 crore by getting its state development loans (SDL) auctioned through the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). This is not all; Punjab plans to raise Rs 5,000 crore through selling its SDL during this financial year.
In this fiscal alone (since April 2009) Punjab has auctioned its state development loans worth Rs 1,743 crore. With the state government facing additional liability on account of the implementation of recommendations of the Fifth Pay Commission from this month onwards, the state will be raising Rs 500 crore through yet another auction of its SDL by the RBI on August 25.
In spite of the limited resources to raise money, Punjab has a huge annual subsidy bill of Rs 4,500 crore. With the power subsidy bill going up to an astounding Rs 3,142 crore (up from Rs 2,602 crore last year), and no signs of an increase in its revenue, the state is relying heavily on these SDLs to raise money.
Other than the power subsidy, the state government also subsidises the Local Bodies Department for octroi, sewerage and house tax, besides subsidising its populist ‘atta-dal’ scheme. While the government spending is on the rise, revenue growth is barely over 5 per cent for this year.
Talking to The Tribune, Punjab Finance Minister, Manpreet Badal, agreed that the huge subsidy bill of the state was responsible for such heavy borrowings. “Though we are within our prescribed borrowing limit of 3.5 per cent of the gross state domestic product (GSDP), the fact is that we will need more money this year as the power subsidy bill.” It is estimated that the power bill will increase by Rs 542 crore this year on account of increase in per unit cost of power by about 40 paisa.
Official sources in the RBI said that these state development loans are auctioned by various state governments to raise money for their development activities. Generally, banks bid for these loans as they are supposed to invest a certain prescribed percentage of their funds in government securities. Since this investment in government stocks is reckoned as an eligible investment in government securities by banks for the purpose of Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR), banks participate in these auctions. These stocks also qualify for ready forward facility.

Israel breaks deal, renews detention of hunger striker
Al-Akhbar reports: Israel has broken a deal reached last month with the Palestinian prisoners’ committee that ended a mass hunger strike by renewing the detention of Hassan Safadi for another six months, an NGO said on Thursday.
Over 2,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails went on a mass hunger strike earlier this year to protest Israel’s draconian administrative detention policy, as well as harsh conditions imposed on them during imprisonment.
“Hassan, who launched his hunger strike on 5 March, was one of the five long-term hunger strikers in administrative detention who were promised release upon the expiration of their current orders in the agreement that ended the Palestinian prisoners’ mass hunger strike on 14 May,” Addameer, an NGO for Palestinian prisoners, said in a statement on Thursday.
“Hassan has been held in administrative detention since 29 June 2011 and this renewal of his detention is a blatant violation of the agreement between the prisoners’ hunger strike committee and Israeli officials,” it added.
The policy dates back to the British mandate era of historic Palestine and allows Israel to detain Palestinians without charge for renewable six month periods.
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have previously condemned the policy as a violation of international humanitarian law.
Safadi’s health seriously deteriorated during his 71-day hunger strike, and the latest decision to renew his detention has raised fears he may restart his hunger strike, despite his fragile state.
Addameer said that Israel also has yet to fulfill its other obligations as part of the deal, including allowing family visits and ending solitary confinement.

MakatiMed receives DOH and FDA accreditations for 3 Tesla MRI
Makati Medical Center (MakatiMed) recently received accreditations from the Department of Health (DOH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its 3Tesla MRI.
MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging, a diagnostic imaging tool that produces detailed images of the body’s internal organs and tissues, as well as three-dimensional images which can be viewed from different angles. The machine is vital in helping medical experts in diagnosing patients and providing more accurate treatment.
MakatiMed’s 3 Tesla MRI machine operates at twice the normal strength of a magnetic field (1.5 Tesla) while generating the highest quality images. The latest technology has numerous benefits for both the patients and the hospital’s healthcare professionals. The 3 Tesla MRI provides a better patient experience due to its efficiency which leads to shorter examination times and lessens the sense of being confined in an enclosed space.
The machine’s higher resolution produces more detailed images which are advantageous when diagnosing pathological conditions involving the brain, spine and musculoskeletal system. This allows Radiologists to identify smaller lesions or anatomical structures not possible in less optimal scanners. Its high imaging quality also lowers the risk of distorted images and the need for repeat scans, while allowing for more advanced imaging procedures with more accurate diagnosis.
Hospital recently holds inauguration to mark diagnosis milestone. (From L-R) Reynaldo J. Lim, Vice President for Service Operations, Jackson U. Dy, MD, Chair, Radiology Department, Atty. Pilar Nenuca P. Almira, President and CEO; Saturnino P. Javier, MD, Medical Director; and Noel L. Rosas, MD, Director of Professional Services.
“This machine would enable us to do examinations much quicker and make patients more comfortable, since the time scan is shorter compared to the usual 25 to 30 minutes using other equipment,” said Jackson U. Dy, MD, the Chairman of MakatiMed’s Radiology Department during the inauguration of the 3 Tesla MRI on January 12.
Apart from Dr. Uy, other attendees of the inauguration included Atty. Pilar Nenuca P. Almira, President and CEO at MakatiMed; Saturnino P. Javier, MD, Medical Director; Noel L. Rosas, MD, Director of the Professional Services; and Reynaldo J. Lim, Vice President for Service Operations Division.
Atty. Almira, meanwhile, described the new machine as “a very important piece of equipment to Makati Medical Center” as it would help diagnose more patients and assist doctors in providing the best treatment for them.
“Today is a clear demonstration of the hospital’s belief and trust to grow our capability, to completely support our doctors, and to further widen our network with our professional partners,” Atty. Almira expressed. “We are convinced that we ought to give our resources if we really want to be able to support our doctors’ competence, and to be able to help our patients by coming out with the best diagnosis coming from this kind of imaging.”
With the accredited 3 Tesla MRI, MakatiMed continues to provide reliable, quality and compassionate healthcare to Filipinos.

3 major UAE banks in talks of merger
Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) said it is in early merger talks with Union National Bank and Al Hilal Bank, which could potentially form a lender with $113 billion (Dh 414.71 billion) in assets.
Abu Dhabi has been revamping its economy and pressing ahead with consolidating state-owned entities after two years of low oil prices weighed heavily on its revenues.
Two of Abu Dhabi’s top banks were merged last year to create First Abu Dhabi Bank with total assets of $175 billion, while two of its big sovereign wealth funds were also combined.
ADCB, majority owned by the Abu Dhabi government, said in a disclosure to the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange that it is in talks with UNB and separately with unlisted Al Hilal Bank. If it goes ahead, a merger of the three could create an entity with $113 billion in assets, according to Thomson Reuters data.
The statement from ADCB followed a Bloomberg News report of the talks which said that a potential merger could create the Gulf’s fifth biggest bank.

Nice place you’ve got here
Is Hallowe’en done yet? Each year I have the goal of playing as many horror games as possible in October, and usually, I get sidetracked, and it doesn’t happen. This year, I both succeeded and started early. And now, I’m sick of them. I don’t want any more monsters or grungy aesthetics. I’m tired of some dude with a knife getting in my way while I try to slot crests in their respective crest-holes.
I’m so tired of keys. I don’t even lock my door anymore… Okay, maybe one more.
Part of this initial flood of horror titles has been through Puppet Combo’s publisher label, Torture Star Video. Stay Out of the House is pure Puppet Combo. Guy’s been working on this one for a while, and it’s finally here. So, at least if I’m forcing myself to swallow one more morsel into my critically full gullet, it promises to be a tasty one.
Stay Out of the House (PC)
Developer: Puppet Combo
Publisher: Puppet Combo
Released: October 13, 2022
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: your car broke down (sort of), and the nearest refuge you find is a creepy house. Maybe they’ll let you use their phone, just go right on in. Oops! There’s a bad man with a hammer. Maybe you should stay a while, but not too long because The Butcher obviously has plans for you.
I feel like I did this so recently with Deadly Night, which was a Torture Star Video published title. Really, the games run pretty parallel. The difference is, while Deadly Night felt relatively routine, Stay Out of the House feels like its majestic final form. It feels kind of like what previous titles in the slasher genre have been leading up to. It’s the whole cake, when before we were just licking the spoon.
Of course, it’s definitely still a slasher title.
This time around, you’re locked in a house with the Butcher and Grandma. Avoiding them is a matter of sticking to the shadows and staying quiet while you try to pull at the threads and unravel their grotesque tapestry. That’s the routine part. Like in Deadly Night, you’re left to find a means of escape.
However, on top of that are numerous other layers. Stay Out of the House lifts from the nebulous immersive sim genre. It plays a bit like a tighter, more intricate version of Nun Massacre in which you explore the house, pick up items, and figure out what you’re supposed to rub them against. Put in the effort, and you can open up shortcuts and new routes. Just don’t get spotted.
There are also various traps throughout the house. There are security cameras that will spot you and sound the alarm, Grandmother scooting up and down the stairs in her wheelchair, and if you piss off the Butcher enough, he’ll put down some bear traps.
You have three days to escape, which technically means you have three lives. If the Butcher knocks you out, you wake up back in captivity the next day. He’ll also upgrade the apparatus, placing more cameras and traps around.
Slaying the elderly
It’s the small victories that make Stay Out of the House worthwhile. Every time you manage to snip a wire and unscrew a vent, it feels like a victory. Progress comes steadily as you work at different small puzzles throughout. It feels rewarding to scour the house, trying to outsmart grandma and the Butcher.
Actually, Grandma is a huge pain. She moves quickly and constantly shifts to different spots around the house. She’s got comparatively bad vision and hearing, but when she does spot you, she starts screaming, drawing the Butcher to wherever she is. That might just sound like a mobile security camera, but she always had a habit of showing up at the worst times and parking herself there.
Eventually, I got fed up and stabbed her face-off. I cannot stress how satisfying it was to stab Grandma. Kudos to Puppet Combo for his ability to make slaying the elderly so cathartic.
The graveyard shift
Stay Out of the House also does a good job of telling its story. It’s not necessarily a very standout plot, but the way it flows is pretty well done. It’s technically broken into four chapters, with the first part acting as a prologue. While most of the action is secluded in the last two chapters, the different paces they offer flow together well while still offering variety. Starting with Night Shift was a good choice, as it lays down a baseline of suspense before you start crawling through vents.
I also enjoyed the addition of other victims in the third chapter. You have the ability to release them from their prisons and lead them to safety. Y’know, if you want to. If not, the Butcher eventually goes out and kills one of them, dragging them in and chopping them up. It’s a really nice touch that adds some tangible stakes to the plot, even if it’s more fun to watch them get killed.
All this is wrapped in a lo-fi aesthetic that can be tweaked to your liking. Whether you want it to look like a PS1 game with shifting textures or a rental VHS abomination with unreadable text, the world is your low-poly oyster.
Mr. Puppet Combo has told me that the least favorite of his own games are the more conventional ones, and this fits into that category. I absolutely respect that perspective, but it’s hard to deny that he has a talent for the conventional. Stay Out of the House is a tight experience with a lot of moving parts. Too many, perhaps, as he and his team have been patching it since release, and while it seems that a lot of the critical bugs have been fixed, I hit a few weirdities, but nothing that frustrated me.
This may be my favorite of the Puppet Combo game. I love the weird experiments, but it’s also nice to see the results applied to a cohesive and polished design. More marketable? Maybe, but it’s hard to look at this wonderfully nuanced game and not have a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship. That’s what Stay Out of the House is: a solid end result that doesn’t stray too far from the jank and seediness of the Puppet Combo brand. It’s a well-carved victim. An expertly stabbed Grandma.
[This review is based on a retail build of the game provided by the publisher.]
Impressive efforts with a few noticeable problems holding them back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.

Texas town holds 1st Sunday service since church attackjuly 20 cancer
Texas town holds 1st Sunday service since church attackjuly 20 cancerMembers of the First Baptist Church will hold a church service for the first time since a gunman opened fire inside the small church a week earlier in the worst mass shooting in Texas history. A memorial for the victims of the shooting at Sutherland Springs First Baptist Church, including 26 white chairs each painted with a cross and adorned with a rose, is displayed in the church Nov. 12, 2017, in Sutherland Springs, Texas. A man opened fire inside the church in the small South Texas community last week, killing more than two dozen. (AP Photo/Eric Gay) November 12, 2017 By Jerome Socolovsky ShareTweetShare
SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Texas (AP) — Hundreds of mourners crowded into the tiny town of Sutherland Springs for the first Sunday service since a gunman stormed the First Baptist Church a week earlier, killing more than two dozen people in the worst mass shooting in Texas history.
COMMENTARY: Last Sunday, domestic violence came to church
After an emotional sermon held outdoors under a massive white tent, congregants and the public were invited to return to the church for the first time since the tragedy. A chilling memorial set up inside the church included 26 white chairs — including one for the unborn baby of a victim who was pregnant — bearing each victim’s name or nickname painted in gold.
Pastor Frank Pomeroy shared his personal heartache and a message that the community bound together by faith can move past the evil that attacked the church seven days earlier.
[ad number=“1”]
“Rather than choose darkness as that young man did that day, we choose life,” Pomeroy said during the service, his voice cracking as he spoke about his 14-year-old daughter, Annabelle, who was among those killed in the Nov. 5 rampage.
“I know everyone who gave their life that day,” he said, pausing to gather himself. “Some of whom were my best friends and my daughter.” He wiped his eyes, then added, “I guarantee they are dancing with Jesus today.”
RELATED: The glue that kept Sutherland Springs together before and after the shootings
Initially, the church had planned to hold Sunday’s service at an adjacent community center, which can accommodate a few dozen people. But when organizers realized hundreds planned to attend, the service was moved to a massive white tent erected in a baseball field.
So many people turned up that the tent’s side flaps had to be opened for an overflow crowd so that those who couldn’t get a seat could see and hear what was going on inside. Mark Collins, a previous pastor at First Baptist, said it was the largest gathering in the church’s 100-year history.
The front three rows were reserved for survivors of the attack and the families of those killed. Many arrived early, as a steady rain fell on the tarp roof, offering hugs to each other and prayers.
Congregants wept during the service and a moving version of “Amazing Grace,” led by three singers and a man on guitar, as the voices of hundreds sang along.
Some bowed their heads, others raised their hands and swayed as the music played, and tears streamed down their faces.
“Amazing Grace” was also played at halftime at Floresville High School at Friday night’s game, in tribute to the victims.
Later Sunday, the First Baptist Church opened its doors for the first time since the shooting. The inside had been transformed into a memorial with its walls, floor and pulpit painted white.
Broken windows and ceiling tiles had been replaced and bullet holes filled. The church’s pews, the carpet and all equipment had been removed. All that filled the space were the 26 white chairs, each with a red rose tied to it except for one that had a pink rose for the unborn baby.
A line of about 85 people snaked from the church entrance and curved around the block, including people who traveled from as far away as the East Coast, said Collins, the church’s former pastor who has returned to help in the tragedy’s aftermath.
Constructing the memorial wasn’t an easy decision, he said. Some members have said they never wanted to step foot inside the site, he said, while others have said they needed to see it.
Next Sunday’s service is expected to take place on the grounds of the church, likely in a makeshift structure, Collins said. Church members will have to decide whether to demolish the church, as some have said is likely, he said, but plans are also being discussed to build a new structure nearby.
The gunman, Devin Patrick Kelley, went aisle to aisle looking for victims and shot crying babies at point-blank range, according to witness accounts. The dead ranged in age from 18 months to 77 years old. About 20 people were wounded in the shooting.
Kelley died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after he was shot and chased by two men who heard the gunfire at the church. Investigators have said the attack appeared to stem from a domestic dispute involving Kelley and his mother-in-law, who sometimes attended services at the church but wasn’t there the day of the shooting.
Kelley had a history of domestic violence: He was given a bad conduct discharge from the Air Force after pleading guilty to assaulting his first wife and stepson.
The church has reached out to Kelley’s family and was praying for them, Collins said.
“Our hearts and prayers go out to his family,” he added.
For Sunday’s service, people from other churches dropped off handmade prayer cloths and tiny wooden crosses, among other gifts. Mental health organizations provided tissues and brought therapy dogs to the service.
Republican Sen. John Cornyn spoke at the service, saying lives were stolen as darkness overtook one man’s heart.
“The pain of losing 26 members is overwhelming,” Cronyn said. “Many lives have been changed forever. … I can’t imagine what you’ve been grappling with ever since.”

CASE III: E2337 (JPC 4090973)
Signalment: 13-year old female domestic European shorthair cat (Felis catus)
History: The affected skin displayed a plaque-like lesion with irregular edges.
Gross Pathology: The tissue sample submitted for histopathological examination had an extension of 1,2 cm consisting of skin and subcutis.
Laboratory results: None given.
Haired skin: There is an area of irregular epidermal hyperplasia with formation of rete ridges, also affecting the hair follicle infundibulum; part of the lesion is covered by a serocellular crust. There is a mild hyperkeratosis and mild to severe hyperpigmentation. In most areas, the basement membrane is intact with neoplastic cells confined to the epidermis with dysplasia of all layers with loss of the polarity of the cell nuclei and loss of the normal stratification of the keratinocytes. Some keratinocytes are small with hyperchromatic nuclei, others are rather large with vesicular nuclei.
Groups of cells are dorsoventrally protracted and bent in one direction, exhibiting a "wind-blown” appearance. Nuclei are large, round to oval, centrally placed, and vesicular with finely stippled chromatin and one to two prominent round magenta nucleoli. There is a mild to moderate anisocytosis and anisokaryosis. The number of mitotic figures range from 0 to 4 per high power field. Multifocally, dark basophilic round structures are present within the neoplastic cells, interpreted as apoptotic bodies. In the dermis a mild, perivascular infiltration of neutrophils, lymphocytes and macrophages is present and few mast cells are observed. Multifocally there is moderate dermal fibrosis.
Epidermal hyperplasia and dysplasia, focally extensive, severe (Bowenoid in situ carcinoma – BISC)
Contributor’s Comment: The morphologic findings are compatible with a Bowenoid in situ carcinoma (BISC) or Bowen-like disease, an uncommon premalignant lesion in middle-aged to old cats, that has been rarely reported in dogs.5,6
Grossly, irregular, slightly elevated to heavily-crusted plaques and verrucous or papillary lesions up to 5.0 cm in diameter are found on haired, pigmented or non-pigmented skin at any site of the body.3,5,6 Usually, multiple lesions occur, but also solitary lesions are seen infrequently.4
Lesions are reported to be chronic, not painful, and only mild pruritus is noted.3 There is neither a causal correlation to sunlight exposure nor a breed or sex predilection.5,6
Several studies suspect that papillomavirus infection may be associated with feline BISC in situ.3,7,8 In two studies, papillomavirus-antigen was detected in 11% and 48% of BISC in situ, respectively, using immunohistochemistry.7,8
Institute of Veterinary Pathology at the Centre for Clinical Veterinary Medicine LMU, Munich
Veterinaerstr. 13; 80539 Munich Germany
JPC Diagnosis: Haired skin: Bowenoid squamous cell carcinoma in situ.
JPC Comment: John Templeton Bowen, MD was a quiet professor of dermatology who spent his days at Harvard Medical School dodging patients, preferring to read slides. In 1912, he published a paper on a particular form of precancerous chronic dermatosis. As his proposed name of “dyskeratosis lenticularis et discoides” didn’t appear to catch on widely, Dr. Jean Darier (who already had Darier’s disease named after him, so he wasn’t really in the game anymore) suggested in his rather aptly named 1914 textbook on dermatology, A Textbook on Dermatology, that this condition simply be called Bowen’s disease.1 Bowenoid papulosis, a proliferative lesion of the genitals resulting from infection by human papillomavirus 16 or 18, was named in Bowen’s honor in 1977, 37 years after his death, when he couldn’t refuse.
In humans, Bowen’s disease is the eponym commonly applied to cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ. It appears as a sharply marginated erythematous scaly or verrucous, often pigmented plaque. It may be appear in sun-exposed areas of skin, or other areas where it may be associated with HPV infection or exposure to inorganic arsenic.9
In the cat, Bowenoid in situ carcinoma (BISC) presents as one or multiple thickened areas of the epidermis, which may present as a thick plate of keratin due to its propensity for overlying orthokeratotic or parakeratotic hyperkeratosis.4 This keratinization may extend into follicles which may become dilated and plugged with keratin debris. Over time, BISCs may progress to a nodular mass which bulges into the underlying dermis.4
The histologic features of the risks are characteristic. Poorly lesions display basal cell crowding and a loss of nuclear polarity and stratification. Cells within the stratum spinosum and even more superficial levels are enlarged with prominent nuclei and nucleoli are more consistent with cells of the basal layer. Mitoses may be present at any level in the dermis. Alternatively, as seen in this case discs may demonstrate a more basaloid pattern, with proliferation of epithelial cells with minimal cytoplasm and large often hyperchromatic nuclei. Melanization of these of the epithelial cells as well as macrophages in the underlying dermis is often seen in these lesions.4
Feline papilloma virus has been repeatedly isolated from lesions in this type, and cytopathic effects, such as koilocyte formation, associated with papillomavirus infection may be seen in early lesions. Similar changes are rarely seen in advanced lesions.4
Cats that develop one BISC are likely to develop additional lesions over time. Histologic differentials include invasive squamous cell carcinoma and actinic keratosis. The differentiation between a BISC and a SCC is made by careful examination to insure that all cells are confined within the basement membrane. Differentiation between actinic keratosis and a BISC may be more difficult unless papilloma virus-induced cell changes are present. As opposed to the BISC, actinic keratosis demonstrates random loss of nuclear polarity of the basal cells only, a poorly defined interface between normal and affected epidermis, and most importantly a lack of thickening and dysplasia of the follicular infundibulum.4
The association between feline papilloma virus infection in the cat in the development of BISC is well-known and consistent with an emerging body of knowledge associating papillomavirus infection and malignant transformation of epithelial neoplasms in cats and many other species. In the cat, Felis catus papilloma virus 2 and 3 (FcPV-2 and -3) have been isolated from BISC lesions. Other lesions associated with feline papillomavirus infection including feline viral plaques (FcPV-1 and -2) and FcPV-2 been detected not only in BISCs but in up to 50% of invasive SCC lesions in this species. Feline sarcoid is a rare neoplasms of the skin of the nose limbs, or digits of young to middle-aged cats; however, the papillomavirus that has been isolated from these lesions has extensive similarity in the DNA to bovine papillomavirus 1 and 2 and may represent a novel bovine papilloma virus.
The moderator discussed the requirements and methods for differentiation between papillomavirus-induced lesion and similar lesions that might be induced by actinic damage. The moderator suggested that the cellular proliferation extending deep into hair follicles as well as the bulbous outgrowth of neoplastic cells perpendicularly outward from the affected follicles is more suggestive of viral induction than actinic induction.

Clooney And Wynn’s Bust Up Heats Up
JOHANNES EISELE / AFP / Jason Merritt / Getty Images Entertainment / Getty Images
Actor George Clooney has gone on with his war against hotel and casino mogul Steve Wynn, naming Wynn’s account of their unsolved issues “false”.
The Ocean Eleven’s star got into an argument with Wynn and left a Las Vegas restaurant in April. He later accused Wynn for calling U.S. President Barack Obama an “a**hole”.
Now Wynn hit back during an interview on the Bloomberg TV network on Friday, May 2, denying he ever used that word against the President. He also named the actor “mollycoddled” and “a little into the tequila”.
Clooney now responded with a long statement issued to People.com.
He wrote, “I will not let his version of the truth go unchallenged. He now says he didn’t call the president an ‘a******.’ That is false. He bellowed ‘I voted for the a******,’ and then called him the same thing several more times as the dinner came to an abrupt end.”
“Again there were eight people at the table, eight witnesses. I did in turn, call him the same body part, and walked out. Again he can make up whatever story he wants, but these are the facts. He said I drank 16 shots of tequila. I didn’t drink one shot of tequila, not one. We were drinking but it was early and we still had two events to attend.”
“He said I live in a bubble. More of a bubble than Las Vegas? Honestly? He says I’m ‘molly coddled,’ that I’m surrounded by people who coddle me. I would suggest that Mr. Wynn look to his left and right and find anyone in his sphere that says anything but ‘yes’ to him…”
“Steve is one of the richest men in the world and he should be congratulated for it, but he needs to take off his red sparkly dinner jacket and roll up his sleeves every once in a while and understand what most of the country is actually dealing with… or at least start with the fact that you can’t make up stories when eight people who are not on your payroll are sitting around you as witnesses.”

Objects in the Mirror
After surviving a tumultuous upbringing in war-torn Liberia, Shedrick Yarkpai has found a new home in a sunny, coastal Australian city. Safe from the horrific perils of guerrilla soldiers and refugee camps, Shedrick now faces a different type of danger: the haunting memories stirring inside him. Inspired by writer Charles Smith’s friendship with a Liberian refugee-turned-acclaimed-actor, the playwright crafts a harrowing story of personal honor vs. familial obligation and the responsibility that comes with being a survivor.
“Visual portrait of jet-fueled dislocation and migration that you don’t have to have been a refugee to have felt.” – Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune.
“This is a masterful drama on every level.” – Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times
“This ensemble takes what is already a damn-near perfect play and turns it into one of the year’s most essential productions.” – Kevin Greene, Newcity Stage

London based photographer Grace Vane Percy has been creating a beautiful body of work over a number of years where she has been exploring the Venus poses & the female body. Her work has been shot on mostly medium format film as well as some 7×5 sheet film. Vane Percy is now looking for funding to help her put this project into a book:
“I have been working on this self-funded project for over four years and it’s finally ready to be published. With your support and generosity, all this planning and work can finally be brought out into the real world. Shot mainly on medium format B&W film in some of the UK’s most celebrated country houses, my series of 54 unique images and 15,000 words of text is completed. Locations include famous and historically significant houses, from Alnwick Castle, where Harry Potter was filmed, to Castle Howard where Brideshead was revisited twice. The photographs combine the female form with architecture in a manner never before seen. The halls, of Houghton and Holkham, the gallery of Newby Hall, as well as follies and fountains provide the perfect setting.
Venus is the mother of all female nudity in art. She is known for her ethereal beauty, which transcends mere desire. With the advent of photography this disassociation from the mortal world became difficult to execute. In this series, the concept of perfect encapsulation of female beauty is reclaimed and represented for the modern world.
The result will be a full-color (for richness & depth of tonal quality), black and white, litho laser press printed book, on finest quality paper saddle bound, hard-back, coffee table book.”

Guelaguetza Restaurante
🇲🇽 MÉXICO (Oaxaca)
📍 3014 W. Olympic Blvd., Koreatown, Central Los Angeles
🅿️ Valet parking in lot behind restaurant (pretty standard for Koreatown, no need to be upset). Street parking available but often difficult.
🥤 Full bar.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This article has been updated with subsequent meals since its original publishing in 2018.
To the outsider unfamiliar with Los Angeles, the bright orange corner home of Guelaguetza might stand out a bit, both from its surroundings at one edge of Koreatown and also due to its bold color and architecture. As with many things in the area since the 1990's, the area was tilting Oaxacan just like large parts of Southern California, a demographic change strong enough to coin the term Oaxacalifornia.
When the restaurant needed to expand and moved here from its original tiny space, the new owners decided not to change the Korean building's exterior. But opening the door, and even walking through the vendors outside that congregate at the parking lot, is like stepping into another world.
Horchata con tuna y nuez.
Even on overcast days the dining room seems filled with sunlight from the large skylights. The walls are as colorful as Oaxaca itself and covered by the murals of a Oaxacan street art collective, and often during dinner and weekends the building is alive with music being performed on their stage.
Jonathan Gold called this the best Oaxacan restaurant in the country. But if you are less interested in hyperbole than attention to detail, even ordering a glass of horchata ($6, above) gets a serving of Oaxacan tradition. The top is made pink by a prickly pear puree and the glass is served with melon chunks and nuts. If you ever happen upon a Oaxacan ice cream shop, make sure to search out this flavor as well, known as tuna y nuez.
Pre-meal serving of totopos con mole.
If you were wondering about the name of the place, it comes from one of the most important festivals in Oaxaca, a celebration of indigenous cultures that has taken place since well before the Spanish ever arrived. Outsiders may often simply say "Mexican" people or maybe "Oaxacan" people, but even in Oaxaca there are still many indigenous groups that practice their traditional customs and speak languages that have survived homogenization in the country.
Attending the festival is just a brief introduction to this, but inspiring to anyone wanting to start to learn more. The Guelaguetza here in Los Angeles takes place in early August usually and has moved around from Lincoln Heights to Inglewood.

The photo of the festival de moles (above) was so poor that this one was stolen from the restaurant's website to better depict the amazing dish that arrives. Hopefully you have a big enough group to include the botana oaxaqueña and a big tlayuda as well, but even two can enjoy that central dish of four traditional moles that is served with rice and big freshly made corn tortillas.
The husband and wife owners of Guelaguetza have since passed the restaurant down one generation to their children in 2014, who continue the cooking customs the place has been known for but also add a sense of advocacy for Oaxacan culture above and beyond the food that is served. A visit here is to be emerged in that, even casual diners will leave feeling more than when they entered the space.

Kingsdown Stables
Types of Ownership
Kingsdown Racing Club
Ed started training in October 2010 when he rented a small 24 box yard within St Gatien Stables in Newmarket. From there he sent out his first runner which was Riggins, a Listed winner on November 27th 2010.
Since then Ed has grown the business gradually which has seen him relocate no less than four times. His nomadic existence finally came to an end in December 2016 when he and his team settled at Kingsdown Stables in Upper Lambourn.
Jack Steels
Jack started in racing in 2006 where he worked for Luca Cumani in Newmarket. It was here where he progressed through the ranks and went from Stable Lad to Head Lad. In 2013, Jack joined Ed's team and has been with him ever since.
Jack has had many successful and memorable days racing whilst working for Ed. In particular Stormy Antarctic's win in the Craven and the day when Ed had a 5 timer back in June 2015, however Jack managed to saddle the only two runners that didn't win on the day! He is an extremely talented rider but has long retired from riding yearlings and one of his favourite horses on the yard is of course Stormy Antarctic, who he regularly rides out.
Jack makes sure that all things horse related are done to an exceptionally high standard. He ensures that the yard runs like clockwork and plays a key role in the daily management and care of our horses.
Rafe Senior Garrett
Racing Secretary
Rafe joined the team in January 2022 as Racing Secretary. After studying Environmental Management at the University of Manchester, he spent two years in the Racing Post Marketing team before moving to Australia to work a breeding season with Coolmore in the Hunter Valley. During his time out there, he also did a short stint with trainers Ciaron Maher and David Eustace at their Caulfield hub in Melbourne, working with horses such as Loving Gaby and Away Game.
Upon returning to the UK, Rafe joined Richard Hannon’s yard in East Everleigh and progressed to be Pupil Assistant before starting his new role here with us in Lambourn. Rafe enjoys playing golf, football and cricket and is a big Oxford United and Warwickshire fan.
Libby Snell
Bloodstock & Communications
Libby has grown up with horses and started here in January 2019 after she graduated from the Royal Agricultural University in 2018 with a degree in International Agriculture and Equine Business Management. She has previously worked for several industry professionals including SackvilleDonald bloodstock agents and has spent several years shadowing different trainers and agents over the years at sales. She has also worked for Goffs UK, Tweenhills Stud and spent a season out in New Zealand as an eventing groom. Aside from living and working in Lambourn, she also has a bloodstock business back at home in Herefordshire where she pinhooks both flat and national hunt foals.
Libby is responsible for keeping the owners up to date on their horse's progress. She is often seen out on the gallops taking photos and video footage of horses to send to the owners, as well as going racing. She also manages our website and social media to keep everyone up to date on runners and latest news.
George Baker
Race Planning
Having previously ridden for Ed for a number of years, George re-joined the team in the summer of 2020 and assists Ed with race planning, entries and jockey bookings.
George had a very successful career in the saddle riding a total of 1,364 winners, he has many notable wins under his belt which include a first classic win in the St Leger on Harbour Law in 2016. Since his forced retirement from race riding after suffering a serious fall at St Moritz's White Turf meeting, George now divides his time between jockey coaching, his role at Ed Walker Racing, as well as working as a pundit on Racing TV.
After many years of living on the restricted diet that comes with being a jockey, George has a renewed love of food which he is very expressive about!
George has written a book 'Taking My Time' which tells both the tall tale of his life as a jockey, and the story of a second life emerging from the aftermath of his fall. This is available to purchase from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Taking-My-Time-George-Baker/dp/1910497894
Clare Wills
Clare started with us in October 2020 after studying an online accountancy course so she could combine riding out with a more office based role. She studied Business Management with Human Resources at Winchester University while riding out for Brendan Powell. After finishing University, Clare worked full time for Brendan doing a variety of roles including being his amatuer Jockey. Whilst working for us, Clare continues to ride out and also drives the Equisave Horse Ambulance at various race meetings. Her role here includes managing the accounts, Human Resources and staff wages.
Charles Guet
Senior Head Lad
Charles comes from a racing background in Moulins, central France. His Uncle and Godfather both train flat and jumps so he grew up around horses and was in the saddle from an early age.
Charles went to university to study Chinese however he spent more time riding out in Chantilly so decided uni was not for him! He then got his first job as Pupil Assistant in France for Xavier Thomas-Demeaulte for 4 years before returning to Newmarket after he had previously spent time at Michael Jarvis's during his summer holidays and loved it. He then became Assistant Head Lad for Roger Varian where he rode and looked after some of the very best horses.
Charles works very closely with Jack and is responsible for making sure that all horses are happy and healthy. He has the support from our Assistant Head Lads and will check every leg on every horse twice a day. He is also a very talented rider and is one of our most experienced work riders.

Originally from Poland, 'Westy' as he is known around the yard is one of Ed’s longest serving member of staff having worked for him since 2013. He has moved around with Ed from yard to yard before happily settling in to Kingsdown. He can often be seen accompanying horses at the races and looks after our stable star Stormy Antarctic, which has enabled him to travel to several different countries over the years. Westy is of course most excited about Stormy this year and is very hopeful of the yard being able to secure a first Group 1 victory.
Tina Young
Stable Lass
Tina joined us in August and brings a wealth of experience to the yard. She has worked in racing for over 20 years and has always lived and worked in Lambourn.

Josef Vyskoc
Josef was first introduced to racehorses when he was 17 and immediately fell in love with them. He then started working for a trainer in Slovakia, followed by moving to the UK where he worked for Mark Pitman and Charlie Egerton. He loves all aspects of training and is constantly learning. He could not be more helpful in and around the yard and is a very popular member of the team.
Sean Cusack
Harry Priestley
Harry joined us in March 2021 and is a vital member of the team, providing a highly professional service in all aspects of farriery including shoeing and specialist remedial care. He manages the day to day care of the horses feet in the yard, including fitting shoes and racing plates on when required.
Mikael Magnusson
Mikael is a key member of the team and has previosuly owned several horses in the yard but he is also the resident chiropractor, continuously assessing and treating the horses and keeping them in top tip condition! Mikael trained in Sweden before moving to the UK where he successfully trained just down the road from Kingsdown Stables. He can often be seen out on the gallops in the mornings and in the evenings around the yard closely followed by his beloved dog Josephine!
Dannios
Yard Hack
Dannios originally joined us as a 'hack' back in 2010 but got so fit that Ed decided to run him in his mother Gilly's colours as a suprise for her birthday. He amazed everyone and gave Gilly a memorable day when he won! He then went on to win 5 races that year before retiring in 2011 to become an invaluable lead horse.
During 2019 Dannios had the important role of being lead horse to our now retired superstar filly Agrotera, even attending Royal Ascot to pony her to the start. Surely the highlight of his year! After a well earned break, he came back in to work for his duties as lead horse to the yearlings and has now gone back in to the paddock for another holiday. He certainly lives the dream and is well and truly spoilt, as he should be.

Re: Electric trains to Exeter? How do you see it happening?
It's perhaps worth noting what NR» (Network Rail - home page)'s traction decarbonisation plans are for routes to and beyond Exeter, bearing in mind that came out just after the poll and comments about the thread's original question stopped.
The route rating has all GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) and SWR» (South Western Railway - about) main lines marked for electrification (all at 25kV where new), with the GWR routes (and Basingstoke-Salisbury) labelled "core". From Salisbury, and past Exeter, is says "ancillary" which is explained rather than defined. Basically it means the benefit is lower, so it can't be justified until later on in the programme, and it will have to keep an interim solution until then. By then the relative merits of the alternatives may have changed, so it's better not to pick a final solution. I Imagine such mixed solutions as OLE▸ (Overhead Line Equipment, more often "OHLE") only up the banks would come into play during that interim.

Using only battery power, with diesel, over the Devon banks could be an interesting challenge - whether talking about either the GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) or SWR» (South Western Railway - about) route. With stops at Totnes on the GWR route and Axminster on the SWR route, both 'in between' severe banks, the batteries would need to be powerful.
A good place to do a trial.
The future is 25000 Volts AC 750V DC has its place

With stops at Totnes on the GWR route and Axminster on the SWR route, both 'in between' severe banks, the batteries would need to be powerful.
The battery capacity between charging points will always be an issue, regen braking going down the banks of course can put some energy back into the battery
Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.
Bmblbzzz
The way I read it, 'fully battery-electric' means 'two modes of electricity': overhead and battery. Rather than purely battery. Though it might lead to developments which will see purely battery power being used on shorter, lower speed lines, some time in the future.
Waiting at Pilning for the midnight sleeper to Prague.
ellendune
But that is not what they are proposing. Only battery power in urban areas. Diesel elsewhere, though the batteries could help out on the banks.
Quote from: ellendune on December 15, 2020, 09:29:13 pm
I think the solution should be a "pump storage" system, that is the batteries are present all the time to provide the traction and domestic power.
When running in an electrified area the batteries are charged and the traction and domestic power is proved by the electrification; regen braking supplementing this.
When running in non electrified areas the traction and domestic power is provided by the batteries, a prime mover (diesel, hydrogen etc) is run up to charge the batteries when required.
Possibly localised areas of electrification installed to provide additional power or battery charging, somewhere like Temple Meads for example where a train may lay over between trips
How much OLE▸ (Overhead Line Equipment, more often "OHLE") is there between Penzance and London? IIRC▸ (if I recall/remember/read correctly) it's only once they join the GWML▸ (Great Western Main Line) at Reading?
In any case, if this trial is successful, hopefully it could be used for Bristol-Thingley and the 'ugly wires in Bath' could be saved for another day.
Quote from: Bmblbzzz on December 16, 2020, 09:44:37 am
The wires extend to Newbury.
Quote from: ray951 on December 16, 2020, 09:56:02 am
Of course! Thanks.
Not sure it would go all that way, the gap would have to be reduced a bit I think.
What "it"? The initial plan announced is for one battery fitted to one 802/0. NR» (Network Rail - home page)'s "first base" core network for decarbonisation is OLE▸ (Overhead Line Equipment, more often "OHLE") to Exeter, and something beyond, and presumably we will reach something of that kind. The path from the trial to there could follow several routes, both in train systems and infrastructure.
By 'successful' I was thinking as much of future development in battery technology as what's here today. But even this trial set up, if it can't go 30-odd miles it won't be much good between Newbury and Penzance!

Fully battery powered trains are envisaged by Hitachi and GWR▸ (Great Western Railway), according to a report on the BBC» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page) website.
Plan for UK▸ (United Kingdom) long-distance battery-powered trains
(C) PA▸ (Public Address) - Hitachi Rail has launched a plan to operate trains on batteries, electricity and diesel
Long distance trains could run on battery power for the first time in the UK, a manufacturer has announced.
Hitachi Rail said Great Western Railway services between London Paddington and Penzance, Cornwall, could be powered by a combination of batteries, electricity and diesel.
Using battery power at the route's non-electrified stations will reduce fuel consumption by more than 20%, improve air quality and reduce noise levels.
Testing is expected to begin in 2022.
The line from Cornwall to London is only partially electrified, with the majority of the 300 mile route requiring diesel power.
The 36 intercity express trains used on the line are bi-modes, which switch between electric and diesel power.
The firm said it would be the first time a long-distance passenger service used an alternative power source in the UK.
It is hoped a full-battery powered intercity train could be developed by the late 2040s, Hitachi Rail added.
(Continues at source)
So. Only another 30 years or so, and no mention of a buffet car.
Now, please!
Quote from: stuving on December 16, 2020, 03:18:07 pm
Electrification may become a simpler to install NR has changed its electrification design policy. Some of the clearances, need to be able to maintain the OLE with adjacent line live and a number of other specifics required previously have been relaxed from being mandated everywhere to a Region / Route risk and performance based assessment for locations where it is not practical / beneficial to do.
A bit complex and techie to explain in a post here, sufficed to say lessons have been learned from the engineering of GWEP▸ (Great Western Electrification Program)
Quote from: Electric train on December 16, 2020, 09:09:04 pm
Lets hope the teams get the chance to stay together to use that learning rather than have a gap then have to learn it all over again.

HSMP why we fight
Why We Fight!
The Back to Basics approach rides again!
Aloha! Lets face it, the industry is facing some mighty tough times; advertising down, marketing, production and transport/shipping all up. Right now, virtual editions and print on demand are the way to go for a lot of smaller publishers, and even larger ones are recycling material as traditional sales venues come under pressure. We're launching Lime Media Hawaii Presents with ebook and print on demand versions because we want to get back to old school basic comics that were fun to read and put a sense of wonder back into readers hearts.
For too long now there have been a mature readers streak running through comics that alienates would be readers with foul language, violence and sexualized depictions or content. Older characters are unrecognizable, and their heart and wonder are trampled under poor story telling and a lack of appreciation for iconic characters. We're going back to basics with a solid general audience book that emphasizes story telling, and limits violence and other offensive material without sacrificing quality and the wonder a good tale brings.
Comic formats can also be adjusted to make it easier for readers to find and cheaper to buy titles. for example, our original concept for our old flagship title was to be very different from todays version, and there were important reasons for this.
Lime Media Hawaii was to launch a "new" type of product to give readers a helping hand in this bad economy, a newsprint tabloid comic that was to be simple & inexpensive to make, and it would be priced VERY reasonably! These super cheap comics that could go for as little as 75 cents an issue and support many worthy local creators! Examples of similar titles are:
The Spirit Section (1940-1952 Monthly US Newspaper Comic Book Insert Supplement, created to allow newspapers compete with the late 30's comic book boom caused by Superman/ Batman etc) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_(comics)
2000 AD( Weekly English (UK) Newspaper Tabloid Comic, begun in 1977, 32+ yrs and over 1600+ issues : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_AD_(comics)
Shonen Jump (Weekly Japanese Newsprint Anthology Comic 20+ years, and now a Monthly US Comic Magazine): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shonen_Jump_(magazine)
We got a very strong consumer response for HSMP's prototype at the Kawaii Kon Anime con and the Hawaii Entertainment Expo here in town. (It helped we can keep costs down to as little as 75 cents a book, less than a can of Coke)
Dirt cheap comic books like these we feel will revitalize the comic industry, and draw new regular readers to our hobby... every bit as much as print on demand and digital ebook versions do now. We want to move comics out of their collectible bind and make easy to find good cheap fun comic books for readers young and old again, no matter what format they're in!!!
So...What happened to "regular" comics?
Gimmicks and disasters aside, they niched themselves out of a LOT of potential readers. Due to a new "fast money" marketing model, which the industry adopted due to a near collapse from falling sales, increased production costs and reduced distribution, traditional comics started losing the mainstream in the late 70's: DC & Marvel began using a "direct sales" distribution model that substantially cut production costs as they knew in advance how many comic books to print, and that the issues were also to be paid for in advance! (The old "Standard" wholesale/consignment distribution model was blind ship X number of issues, and find out 3 months later how many sold and how many were "unsold & destroyed" by retailers to get credit back from the shops distributor.)
The "direct sales" distribution method greatly speeded up cash flow, lowered some production and shipping costs, and improved publisher's response time to regional sales fluctuations. The drawback to this new policy, which helped give rise to "comics specialty retailers" as a byproduct (most small retailers declined to pay up front for books as the old model was way easier on the wallet), also gave consumers the perception that "newsstand" copies were inferior to their gimmicky "direct sale" cousins. (Identical content notwithstanding)
This lack of willingness to pay upfront for once "free" books, and the newsstand "inferiority complex" was the icing on the cake for the industry's distribution woes. This change eliminated the once common "spinner racks" of comics at many general retailers kids went to (like drug stores, supermarkets, candy stores, discount stores etc), which helped, in an unexpected twist, to put the industry in it's current bind.
Soon the vast majority of orders came from comics specialty retailers, primarily collectible dealers. The number of comic distributors imploded when "comic specialty shops" and collectible comic dealers contracted sharply in the late 80's - mid 90's from over 10,000 to approx 3000-2500, the industry got a wake up call.
They hit "snooze" and rolled over again. Comic's have niched themselves as a COLLECTIBLE over those last 3 decades. hiding in dwindling specialty shops, not out there easily found by kids and older folks as broad based good cheap fun. Consumers for 3+ generations have been conditioned to see comics in this light. While their print quality has NEVER been higher, the typical comic now runs $4.00 & up, and this keeps many good titles from readers hands. The current economic downturn does not bode well, especially for smaller distributors, and small press comic publishers, and will almost surely result in further erosion of the number of comics retailers and expansion of cheaper online venues.
New ideas, (or redoing old ones) are called for. Innovation is a necessity at a time like this, and it's time we make Comics good cheap fun again!!

'Informant!' - black comedy with no white hats
The two products involved in ADM's troubles were lysine and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). The latter substance has been linked to the increase in obesity in the United States.
Matt Damon's new film character is a kind of undercover agent, but he's a far cry from Jason Bourne. In "The Informant!," the actor plays Mark Whitacre, a real-life corporate whistle-blower who worked with the FBI in the 1990s to uncover a price-fixing scandal involving his employer, agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland. Slapped with a mega-fine and a class action suit, ADM eventually paid out $500 million. Several executives went to prison.

Khartoum: Sudan austerity protesters ‘tear-gassed’
by johansen.jorgen • 2. juli 2012 • 0 Comments
Sudanese police have fired tear gas at people protesting at recent austerity measures in the capital Khartoum, witnesses say.
Some of the demonstrators reportedly carried anti-government placards as President Omar al-Bashir prepares to mark 23 years in power, on Saturday.
This is the latest in two weeks of protests, initially led by students.
The government is trying to cut spending after losing much of its oil revenue when South Sudan seceded.
Following recent subsidy cuts, prices have risen – especially for food and fuel – and inflation has soared in the year since South Sudan’s independence.
‘Licking your elbow’
Several hundred protesters took to the streets after Friday prayers in Khartoum, witnesses in at least two neighbourhoods of the city reported.
At one of the city’s largest mosques some were chanting «freedom, peace, justice and revolution is the choice of the people», Reuters news agency reporter Yara Bayoumy told the BBC’s Focus on Africa programme.
As police fired tear gas some demonstrators responded by hurling stones, she said.
A presidential aide once said that getting rid of President Bashir was as impossible as «licking your elbow».
The phrase has now become the defiant slogan of opposition activists.
The internet is full of messages about breaking the fear barrier and calling for more demonstrations on Saturday.
But correspondents say internet usage in Sudan is still quite low.
According to the AFP news agency, armed security agents raided their Khartoum bureau on Friday and arrested a part-time correspondent who had taken pictures of a protest.
There has been strong international condemnation of the arrest and treatment of some activists.
The BBC’s Africa correspondent Andrew Harding says comparisons with the Arab Spring may be premature.
But the combination of economic gloom, and a series of internal armed rebellions, is pushing Sudan into unpredictable territory, he says.

Google News gets a fresh new look on its feed.
By Shore Media PRJune 30, 2017 No Comments
[yoast-breadcrumb]
Welcome to Google’s New News Feed.
Google News is looking different today. That’s because Google today launched a major redesign of its news aggregation site that brings it in line with the rest of its services and removes a lot of the clutter that accumulated over the years.
After years of sticking with essentially the same design, nobody was going to accuse Google News of looking modern. While the rest of the company’s portfolio received major facelifts in recent years, Google News started looking a bit neglected (and cluttered). That’s all changing today.
Anand Paka, the product manager for Google News, told me that the guiding idea behind the redesign was to build an uncluttered user interface that makes the product more accessible to mainstream news consumers.
To do this, the team adopted a card-based interface for the main news stream, for example, and added tabs that separate the main headlines of the day from local news and the personalized news feed. Gone, too, are most of the longer snippets of text that featured prominently in the old design, as well as the share buttons for Facebook, Twitter and (gasp!) Google+ that would fade in when you hovered over a story (these have been replaced by a modern share button).
In terms of core features, though, you won’t see any major differences between these two versions. All of the new tools Google added in recent years, including real-time coverage, fact checks and support for videos, remain in place. Indeed, the team expanded the use of video in Google News, which makes sense, given how many recent stories now center around video.
Paka argues that Google’s users are already familiar with the card interface, so this shouldn’t be too much of a leap for most users. As in the old design, you can click on these cards to see an expanded view of the story with more sources and, if warranted, videos, fact check articles and more.
The team decided to give local news its own tab because it wanted to have space to expand this section over time. “We’re setting the stage for the next phase,” Paka explained. That’s something Paka noted a number of times during our conversation. The idea here is clearly to give the product team the ability to iterate on this design, and Paka also noted that we’ll see quite a few A/B tests over the next few months as the team looks at what works and what doesn’t.
Publishers won’t have to make any changes as to how they submit their stories to Google News, by the way. This update doesn’t introduce any changes for them, as all of the updates are happening above the publishing index. The renewed emphasis on video, though, will likely drive more publishers to invest in that side of their business.

Shared Source – Right Margin Line
September 24th, 2010 Comments off
Good code style suggests limiting the length of a code line to 80 characters, and only 70 characters for indented code examples to be used in documentation. The Right Margin Line helps you to visually indicate the specified line length. It doesn’t prevent typing to the right of it, but lets you to identify and break long expressions over multiple lines.
