Last Carnegie Hall Resident Forced Out of Towers

    All of her neighbors are gone, forced out. Now Elizabeth Sargent, the last holdout tenant of Carnegie Hall's towers, is preparing to leave the affordable studios that for more than a century housed some of America's most brilliant creative artists.

    Red scaffolding surrounds Carnegie Hall as the city-owned towers are being gutted this summer in a $200 million renovation that includes adding a youth music program. Celebrities like Robert De Niro and Susan Sarandon had fought to save the homes, petitioning the city not to "displace these treasured artists and master teachers."

    Musicians, painters, dancers and actors thrived in the two towers built by 19th-century industrialist Andrew Carnegie just after the hall went up in 1891. The towers — one 12 stories high, the other 16 — housed more than 100 studios, some with special skylights installed to give painters the northern light they prize.

    Over the years, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Robert Redford took acting lessons here and Lucille Ball had voice coaching. James Dean studied scripts and Leonard Bernstein, music.

    Women once lined up on the street to visit an alluring resident — the young Marlon Brando. His studio space on the eighth floor was demolished in early July.

    Sargent, a one-time dancer noted for her boldly sexual poetry, is now in her 80s and in remission from cancer. For 40 years, she's lived on the ninth floor of the red brick southern tower above the famed stage of the 119-year-old landmark.

    She has until Aug. 31 to clear out.

    Sargent and other residents have waged a years-long legal battle against New York City, the Carnegie Hall Corp., and a powerful, modern-day philanthropist, Sanford "Sandy" Weill, the former chairman and CEO of Citigroup. The refurbished towers will soon house an education program named for Weill, Carnegie Hall's chairman and benefactor, plus other administrative spaces, according to Carnegie artistic director Clive Gillinson.

    When Carnegie Hall announced the project in May 2007, 18 studios were occupied and dozens of other artists rented teaching space.

    Editta Sherman, a 98-year-old photographer, had a studio that's still filled with portraits of Hollywood and Broadway stars. She's not been allowed to sleep there since early July and must also remove her belongings by Aug. 31.

    Known by her neighbors as the "Duchess of Carnegie Hall," Sherman vowed two years ago that she'd never leave. "They'll have to drag me out," she said.

    "My whole life has been here!" said Sherman. A resident since 1949, she raised five children in a studio with 25-foot ceilings and a view of Central Park. Her rent was frozen at $650 a month.

    Finally, the two women signed agreements with Carnegie in exchange for new midtown Manhattan apartments where rents will be subsidized by Carnegie for the rest of their lives.

    "I'd rather live in these rundown rooms than any new apartment in a glass tower," said the reclusive Sargent, speaking to a reporter by telephone from behind her studio door. She reached a hand into the hallway to retrieve a bag of groceries left on the knob by a former neighbor.

    An Associated Press team toured the construction site and obtained exclusive photos and video of the tower renovation, zeroing in on controversial spots — historic parts of the building being torn down.

    The old stone-and-cast-iron staircases and some original walls will survive, according to architectural plans for the towers obtained by the AP.

    What's left inside is just a shadow of the bustling labyrinth of corridors, stairways and studios where modern American dance took its first steps, created by choreographers like George Balanchine and Martha Graham.

    Debris now spills down a stairway leading to a rooftop studio. "SAVE" is scrawled on a wall in red, with a line to guide workers when they chop off a ceiling and skylight built in the 1890s.

    In 1960, developers wanted to tear down the entire Carnegie Hall building to construct a high-rise on the site. But violinist Isaac Stern led a successful public campaign against demolition and the city bought the property for $5 million, creating the Carnegie Hall Corp. to run it.

    "It's Weill's money, but it's our history — and this is the endgame here," said actor Billy Lyons, 29, assistant to acting coach Wynn Handman, who had worked from a Carnegie studio since the early 1980s, training actors including Denzel Washington, Mira Sorvino and Michael Douglas.

    The towers will be rebuilt as new music education spaces and classrooms, archives and administrative offices for the Carnegie Hall staff.

    "They're erasing every piece of our cultural history, and it's not all for the children," said Lyons. "It's for Sandy Weill events."

    Weill and his wife, Joan, have pledged $25 million toward the project — which includes a lavish rooftop terrace with a nearby dining area accessible by a glass elevator — to be named after the couple, according to a confidential legal document obtained by the AP. It's signed by Weill, his wife and Gillinson.

    The rooftop plans in particular have drawn strong opposition. Preservation advocate Christabel Gough of the Society for the Architecture of the City told the Landmarks Restoration Commission last year that the towers' roofscape "should be sacrosanct under the landmarks law."

    But Carnegie Hall Corp. won commission approval for plans that preserve little inside the two structures. The landmarks commissioners are appointed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an ex-officio member of Carnegie's board. The city and the state have committed $50 million in taxpayer money for the project, with another $56 million coming from a Carnegie Hall bond sale.

    "The main motivation is to create a music education center where we can work with schoolchildren and talented artists," Gillinson told the AP. He said the 60,000 square feet of studios will now be available for programs run by the Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall, in partnership with the city's Department of Education and The Juilliard School. They will teach music to urban children and, by computer and satellite, to youngsters around the globe.

    "This will benefit tens of thousands of people and upset a small number of people, a very small number of people," Gillinson said. "Of course I'm sorry, and of course I'm upset, and of course we've looked after the people."

Tina Fey, Amy Poehler to Host Golden Globes

The pair starred on "Saturday Night Live" and in the film "Baby Mama" together

    Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are teaming up for the Golden Globes.

    The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Dick Clark Productions and NBC announced Monday that the pair of "30 Rock" and "Parks and Recreation" stars have signed on to host the 70th annual Golden Globe ceremony after British comedian Ricky Gervais' three-year reign as the show's acerbic emcee.

    "The unparalleled comedic timing of Tina and Amy will surely have viewers wanting to tune-in to see them in action," said Takla-O'Reilly, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which honors film and TV at the Beverly Hills Hilton ceremony. "The HFPA is thrilled to have the magnetic duo be a part of the show's 70th anniversary!"

    The funny lady duo previously starred together in the films "Mean Girls" and "Baby Mama" and on "Saturday Night Live." They co-hosted the NBC sketch comedy series' "Weekend Update" segment from 2004 to 2006.

    "Having both Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on board to host this year's festivities is a major coup," said Paul Telegdy, president of alternative and late night programming at NBC. "Tina and Amy have a proven chemistry and comedic timing from their many years together on 'SNL' to their successful co-starring roles in 'Baby Mama.'"

    Poehler's "Parks and Recreation" is currently in its fifth season on NBC, while Fey's "30 Rock" is airing its seventh and final season on the network.

    This year's Golden Globe ceremony was watched by 16.8 million TV viewers, finishing within 1 percent of the 17 million viewers who tuned in to the 2011 broadcast, according to the Nielsen Co.

    The Globes are usually handed out about a week before the Academy Award nominations are announced, but that won't be the case next year. The motion-picture academy has moved up the Oscar nominations announcement to Jan. 10 — three days before the Globes are set to air Jan. 13. The earlier date for the nomination unveiling for the 85th annual Academy Awards, which will be hosted Feb. 24 by "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane, could steal attention away from the Globes.

Google Spends $50 Million to Get Girls to Code

    Google wants girls to code and is willing to spend $50 million to encourage them with "Made with Code" events.

    The first event was in New York City where 150 female high school students were inspired to see technology as a possible career and learn simple coding techniques, according to USA Today.

    "Our industry has lots of stereotypes, including the notion that coding means sitting at a computer alone," Google Vice President Megan Smith said. "We hope to show girls that coding is fun. But there's also the simple fact that supply and demand is not working. There are millions of jobs out there going begging."
    The event had an eclectic bunch of speakers including Chelsea Clinton and comedy actor/writer Mindy Kaling, and taught the students basic coding to create bracelets. Google also promised to give money to host girl-coding events and educating the public.
    "It's hard to imagine being something you can't see," Clinton said, noting that the number of women graduating with computer-science degrees has dropped from nearly 40 percent in the '80s to 14 percent today. "The issue of role models is a big one, and (Made with Code) represents a new, comprehensive effort to provide just that."
    The event is highlighting projections that mean coding jobs will be rising but few will be qualified for those jobs. The numbers are lower for women, especially when Google just released numbers that 70 percent of its employees were male.
    While Google could be seen as a wonderful benefactor, it's also in Google's best interests for more girls to get involved in programming. As their need for coding increases, they will also have a larger pool of candidates.

It's Gross! Outsource it

Parents pay to pass off dirty work

View Comments ()

    How much to have someone else get rid of the lice? Try $80/hour.

    Spray, spray. Comb, comb.  Repeat.  Many times.

    Any parent who’s had to treat a child for lice knows it can be a tedious chore.  Now, two San Diego moms are helping other parents avoid having to perform the dreaded lice treatment, with a new company called Lice Masters.

    It's Gross! Outsource It

    [DGO] It's Gross! Outsource It
    Even in tough economic times, outsourcing dirty work of parenthood is becoming much more common. (Published Saturday, May 9, 2009)

    "They're at their wits end, they are still covered. So by the time we get there they are very thankful to see us,"says Kollen Dennison.

    Dennison and her partner Janet Akrin use natural products and say they can usually treat kids more effectively and quicker than other parents because they’ve dealt with it so many times before as preschool teachers.

    "It's so hard to get rid of them and if you don't know what you're looking for, you're going to have them for awhile," says Arkin, "we just decided this was something we could help with cause we know what we're looking at."

    The ladies charge $80 an hour, and say most children generally take about that long to be effectively treated.

    And the Lice Masters appear to be part of a growing industry catering to parents who are willing to pay for help. From potty training to car seat installation, outsourcing that dirty work of parenthood is becoming more common.

    "I think parents these days, particularly working parents that are trying to balance careers,” says Shelley Halpain, mother of two and a half year old twins Julian and Alex.

    “Two career families with two children, they value their time with their children, and being able to pass off some of these chores to professionals is a great help," Halpain says.

    Halpain hired Brian Mott, with Baby Home Safety to install plexi-glass along a second story balcony, to keep her boys from tumbling down.

    "We just realized this was too big of a task for us to take on ourselves," says Shelley Halpain.

    Mott also added latches on cabinets, gates near stairs and tied dressers to the walls.

    "What I can do in maybe two or three hours could possibly take the homeowners eight or ten hours to do," explains Mott.

    Another tough chore can be making sure your child's car seat is installed properly.  For forty bucks, Bessie Geilenfeldt with the Pacific Safety Council will take the headache out of the sometimes confusing, but extremely important task.

    "They're reading the instructions, it's Greek to them, they don't understand the terminology," Geilenfeldt says.

    Meanwhile,Lauren Pichard pitches herself as "Your Own Affordable Supernanny."  With a Masters degree in child psychology, the San Diego woman is a personal coach for parents.  A session runs about $60, with other packages available for longer coaching.

    "There's a huge need, I mean every family could use support," Pichard says, "it could be one session to three months, five months all depending on what they need."

    In Chicago, Wendy Sweeney offers a day-long crash course in toliet training called"Booty Camp."  After receiving national attention, she is about to release a DVD version of the course for about $90.

    Erin Dollar/I Made You a Beard
    Just one fine example

    At times, immigration agents at the border catch imposters trying to cross the border into the U.S. Sometimes the illegal immigrants have dyed their hair; other times, the poseurs are just similar physical types to the folks whose real ID's they try and pass off as their own.

    Last Friday, though, the challenge was simpler, according to officials from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, who said that a bearded man from Mexico tried to get into the U.S. with the aid of a SENTRI card belonging to a woman. Even if he had shaved before attempting the ruse, the 22-year-old man might have had a tough time passing himself off as the 44-year-old woman on the card.

    The man was returned to Mexico, according the CBP officials.

    Amazingly, this may not be the dumbest crook of the week in the local area. Check out photos of the guy who stole a pair of video cameras in Littly Italy.

SOHO Due for Legal Costs Settlement; Balboa Park Vehicle Issues Unsettled

View Comments ()

    As Balboa Park's parking and transportation issues remain unsolved, the city of San Diego faces a pricey legal settlement, as NBC 7's Gene Cubbison explains. (Published Monday, May 12, 2014)

     There's a new twist in the long-running civic drama surrounding Balboa Park -- a pricey legal settlement for the city of San Diego.

    But no clear answers are being given to endless questions about traffic and parking problems there.

    On the City Council’s Tuesday afternoon agenda is a resolution – recommended for approval by the city attorney’s office – to pay a $355,000 claim for opposing attorneys’ fees and court costs in a case that derailed a proposed $40 million makeover of Plaza de Panama -- known as the Jacobs Plan -- in the heart of the park.

    That litigation, filed by a Northern California law firm on behalf of the historic preservation group Save Our Heritage Organisation, prevailed in both trial and state appellate court proceedings.

    Fact Check: New Balboa Park Trams

    [DGO] Fact Check: New Balboa Park Trams
    As local leaders continue to call for Filner’s resignation, other city issues like the Balboa Park Centennial aren’t getting much attention. Last month the mayor made a statement about new trams purchased for Balboa Park. The Voice of San Diego’s Scott Lewis and Lisa Halverstadt look into this on this week’s Fact Check. (Published Tuesday, Jul 30, 2013)

    “City Attorney Jan Goldsmith, after we filed the lawsuit, said that it was ‘frivolous,’” recalled David Lundin, a local attorney who assisted in preparing the legal challenge. “Three hundred fifty-five thousand dollars later, we were right and he was wrong.”

    Lundin said that kind of money would be a big help in making Balboa Park more accessible and approachable.

    He points to new 12-minute, round-trip tram service centered in Plaza de Panama, where billionaire Qualcomm cofounder Irwin Jacobs was raising money to build a bypass bridge from the Cabrillo Bridge south and west to a $25 million, subterranean, paid-parking structure on the current surface- parking site lot behind the Spreckels Organ Pavilion.

    But the tram doesn't serve visitors at the Organ Pavilion parking lot or a smaller, 100-space lot south of Alcazar Garden that also offers 14 handicapped spaces somewhat closer to Plaza de Panama -- where, 11 months ago, then-mayor Bob Filner ordered the eviction of parking altogether.

    While the cleared-out plaza is now pedestrian and cycle-friendly, it’s still too far away from parking for elderly and wheelchair-users who patronize the Balboa Park’s institutional stakeholders.

    "We took away (handicapped parking) spots that were near the museums,” says Mike Kelly, president of the Balboa Park Committee of 100. “We sort of promised them we would have transportation through shuttle or something to get them around to the Museum of Man, to the Old Globe. That hasn't happened."

    Parking also can be an approach-avoidance challenge even for the young and fully able-bodied.

    "I don't know what they're going to do about parking because we had a challenge finding parking today -- and there's no one here. It's quite quiet today. ” said LasVegas resident Jamie Henderson, interviewed Tuesday on the plaza while visiting the park with a friend. “We did get a spot on the street, which is fantastic. But how are they going to handle 100,000 visitors?"

    Good question for whoever stages whatever events finally become part of the park’s Centennial celebration, an undertaking that a nonprofit organizing committee has abandoned after spending nearly $3 million in public funds.

    Said Lundin, a leading critic of that committee and the city’s efforts to re-establish Centennial planning under another nonprofit: "There are plenty of spaces in the park. The difficulty is convenient access and the tram system. That's a difficulty that's easy to fix, and very inexpensive … probably one or two more trams that'll cost $100,000 apiece. Two more drivers, you're good to go."

    Meantime, at the west end of the park, repairs are still under way on Cabrillo Bridge, closed to vehicles for months now.

    And it seems museums and other venues that dreaded the shutdown are coping rather nicely.

    "What happened is, their paid admissions went up 25 percent,” said Lundin. “They've fallen in love with the fact it's pedestrian-only traffic at the west end of the park. People are circulating, having a good time. People now want to open a cafe and coffee shop in what used to be a street."

    Kelly echoes growing sentiment to keep the bridge traffic-free permanently once upgrades are completed.

    "It'd be a wonderful pedestrian space,” he said. “Be great for bicycles and it would bring -- allow us to bring -- the shuttle all around the plaza to drop people off at the Timken, at the Museum of Art, the Old Globe, the Museum of Man, go all the way across the bridge, drop people there, turn around and pick people up and do the same."

    This, despite hopes that the Jacobs Plan could pave the way for a blockbuster celebration of the park's Centennial next year.

    As for the much maligned Centennial organizing committee – Balboa Park Celebration, Inc. – its agreement with the city is the subject of a termination resolution on Tuesday’s Council agenda.
    Lundin calls the action “premature,” citing a pending investigation of the group by the city auditor that may not conclude until late May or early June.

Kiwi gains after late market flourish, pending retail data

The New Zealand dollar gained before retail sales figures today that will provide more evidence of the pace of the economy and as stronger equity markets overnight gave a small boost to the local currency.

The kiwi rose to 81.98 US cents from 81.66 cents at 5pm in Wellington yesterday. The trade-weighted index rose to 73.42 from 73.19.

Home Depot led gains on the Dow Jones Industrial Average after posting third-quarter results that beat forecasts, while providing an optimistic picture for the coming months – for its own future and that of the US housing industry in general.

At home, retail sales volumes slowed to a 0.5% pace in the third quarter for an annual gain of 2.9%, according to a Reuters survey.

"The global backdrop remains supportive of the NZD," says Mike Jones, currency strategist at bank of New Zealand. "A late flourish in stock markets and commodity prices helped the NZD/USD finish the night near the top of its overnight 0.8160-0.8200 range."

Weak retail sales "would likely encourage the markets to up the odds of a December OCR cut".

There is a 24% chance of a rate cut on December 6, based on the Overnight Index Swap curve and 16 basis points of cuts are seen over the next 12 months.

The New Zealand dollar rose to 78.52 Australian cents from 78.42 cents yesterday before third-quarter wage cost data in Australia that is expected to show the wage price index slowed to a 0.8% pace for an annual gain of 3.8%.

The kiwi gained to 64.52 euro cents from 64.35 cents and rose to 51.63 British pence from 51.44 pence. It rose to 65.07 yen from 64.72 yen.

SALISBURY, Md. -- For two years, Ursinus saw its season end at the hands of Messiah in the NCAA tournament.

The third time proved to be the charm as the Bears (18-3) scored three times in the final 7:29 to defeat the Falcons (14-4) 3-1 on Saturday at Salisbury in the NCAA second round.

The Bears will advance to play host Salisbury on Sunday in the national quarterfinals with a trip to Dudley, Mass., on the line.

Despite being outshot 25-12 and massively out-cornered 14-5, Ursinus came back from a deficit for the second time in the tournament.

Messiah got on the board first following a scoreless first half as Juliana Hershey scored on a pass from Kourtney Ehly at 50:16. Ursinus got on the board following a penalty corner via Corinne Freeman at 62:11, when Nicole Hanby took two shots. The first was blocked, but her second attempt at 62:31 proved true as the Bears tied the score.

The go-ahead goal came 2:27 later when senior Alyssa Thren scored on a shot from the right corner. Thren got the ball following a Freeman corner and off a rebound from two Hanby shots.

Thren scored the third and final goal on a shot from the middle of the circle at 67:53.

Senior goalkeeper Jill Lukens made eight saves in the win as the Bears improved to 15-6 all-time in tournament games. Ursinus will be facing Salisbury for the first time since 2009 when the Bears lost to the Sea Gulls 2-0 in Salisbury.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. –
University of Missouri-St. Louis Director of Athletics Lori Flanagan has named Brian Levin as the Tritons’ head softball coach. Levin arrives on the UMSL campus from Murray State University and replaces Chuck Sosnowski, who resigned last month after five years at the helm of the program.

“We are excited to welcome Brian into our UMSL family as the softball coach,” said Flanagan. “He is committed to our vision of the student-athlete and will bring extensive knowledge and leadership to that position that will benefit UMSL Athletics and Tritons Softball. He also has a passion for teaching the game and has the ability to build on this program’s success over the last few years.”

Levin spent one season at NCAA Division I Murray State, helping lead the Racers to a 22-29 record in its inaugural season, including a fifth-place finish in the 11-team Ohio Valley Conference and a berth in the league’s post-season tournament.

“I am tremendously excited to be named the UMSL softball coach and my family and I are thrilled about coming back home to the St. Louis area,” said Levin. “UMSL is a quality Division II program in a strong athletic conference that has produced some excellent teams.

“I was also impressed by the vision of the athletic department and its staff and am looking forward to being apart of that as well as carrying on the solid tradition of the softball program.”

The Granite City, Ill., native is also the founder of STAAR hitting mechanics and camps and the ASA Clarksville Heat Softball Organization in Clarksville, Tenn.  In his 11 years of coaching, his teams have consistently hit over .300 as a team.

Levin played collegiate football and baseball at Peru State College where he was a two-time all-conference player. He finished his baseball career with a .344 batting averaging and moved on to play Fastpitch softball in southeast Nebraska and semi-professional baseball in the St. Louis area. Levin also earned All-American place-kicker honors in college.

Levin has spent the last 20 years in the military, including the last 15 stationed at Ft. Campbell, Ky., with the 5th Special Forces Group. While stationed at Ft. Campbell he was an active volunteer coach for football, baseball and softball at Ft. Campbell High School.

Levin earned a bachelor's degree in industrial technology from Peru State University in 1988 and a master's degree from Northcentral University in sports management and leadership in 2009.

Levin is married to the former Michelle Morgan and has two children, Alisha (23) and Matthew (19). Alisha played softball for Providence College, while Matthew is on the football team at the University of Dubuque.

Henry I. Nygard Sea Scouting Regatta
Golden Anniversary Event

The Northeast  Region, B.S.A., in conjunction with the Friends of Sea Scouts of Maryland, Inc, fosters and promotes Sea Scouting in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area. Each year the Friends of Sea Scouts of Maryland and the Northeast Region sponsored the Commodore Henry I. Nygard Regatta, a weekend of fun, fellowship, and nautical competition. Athletic and social events are also featured. We extend a cordial invitation to your unit to participate in the 50th Annual Henry I. Nygard Regatta.

Access the 2015 Boarding Manual.

The COMMODORE HENRY I. NYGARD SEA SCOUTING REGATTA was named for the man who, through the Sea Scouting program of the National Capital Area Council,  showed all of us the importance of giving to the community. He consistently gave his time, his talent, and his energy for the benefit of youth.

Henry Nygard was born in December 1915, in Vicksburg, Mississippi and raised in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. He resided in the Washington, D.C. area for most of his adult life. During World War II, he served in the U.S. Army Air Corps for three years. Married, and the father of two sons, Commodore Nygard was a scout in his youth and became active again in Scouting in 1954. He became Skipper of Ship 759 of Ashton, Maryland, in the 1960’s and continued to serve faithfully in that position until 2003, at age 87 when he retired.

Henry Nygard served for many years as Commodore of the Sea Scouting Squadron Wardroom of the NCAC and under his direction the program expanded and moved forward dramatically. He actively sought new adults to become advisors, formed new Ships and contributed to Sea Scouting in all ways possible. He kept his eye on all of the ships to see if they needed assistance in any area -- ranging from program to boat repairs. In addition to this, he organized an annual Safe Boating training weekend for all youth of the Washington, D.C. area. His own Ship, Ship 759, was always a strong one with a large membership. But to all Scouts, in all Ships, Henry Nygard was just plain Skip. He shared with us his values of loyalty to country, fair treatment of others, honesty, and the importance of giving one’s best effort to every undertaking.

In addition to his huge contribution to Sea Scouting, Commodore Nygard, for many years, worked with the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Flotilla II-1 where he served as Commander and  taught its Safe Boating and Seamanship courses. He was also a member of the Sandy Springs Lions Club, and  directed the Coast Guard Auxiliary AIM program to interest youth in attending the Coast Guard Academy.   In recognition of all his work in service to youth, Henry Nygard  received numerous awards. He received the Spurgeon Award through the National Court of Honor, the Silver Beaver Award from National Capital Area Council, and the Isaac Walton League Civic Service Award for Youth. He was voted Sea Scout Skipper of the Year of the National Capital Area Council countless times, received the Lions Club Youth Award for many years and was presented an award for “devoted and untiring work with Sea Scout Ship 759” from the Ashton Methodist Church.

In 1989, for Commodore Nygard’s untiring devotion and with gratitude and appreciation for all that he contributed, the Sea Scout Wardroom of the NCAC renamed their regatta in his honor. He truly made a difference for all of us.   Commodore Nygard passed away on March 15, 2009, only a few months after his wife Doris of 63 years.

dense subspace

Given a topological space (or locale) XX, a subspace of XX is dense if its closure is all of XX.

In locale theory, we have the curious property that any intersection of dense subspaces is still dense. (This of course fails rather badly for topological spaces, where the intersection of all dense topological subspaces is the space of isolated point?s.) One consequence is that every locale has a smallest dense sublocale, the double negation sublocale.

In point-set topology, a space is separable if and only if it has a dense subspace with countably many points.

Attomole detection of in vivo protein targets of benzene in mice: evidence for a highly reactive metabolite.

Author information

  • 1Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of California, San Francisco 94143-0446, USA.

Modified proteins were detected in liver and bone marrow of mice following treatment with [(14)C]benzene. Stained sections were excised from one-dimensional and two-dimensional gels and converted to graphite to enable (14)C/(13)C ratios to be measured by accelerator mass spectrometry. Protein adducts of benzene or its metabolites were indicated by elevated levels of (14)C. A number of proteins were identified by in-gel proteolysis and conventional mass spectrometric methods with the low molecular weight proteins identified including hemoglobin and several histones. The incorporation of (14)C was largely proportional to the density of gel staining, giving little evidence that these proteins were specific targets for selective labeling. This was also true for individual histones subfractionated with Triton-acid-urea gels. A representative histone, H4, was isolated and digested with endopeptidase Asp-N, and the resulting peptides were separated by high performance liquid chromatography. (14)C levels in collected fractions were determined, and the peptides were identified by conventional mass spectrometry. The modifications were distributed throughout the protein, and no particular amino acids or groups of amino acids were identified as selective targets. Thus chemical attack by one or more benzene metabolites upon histones was identified and confirmed, but the resulting modifications appeared to be largely nonspecific. This implies high reactivity toward proteins, enabling such attack to occur at multiple sites within multiple targets. It is not known to what extent, if any, the modification of the core histones may contribute to the carcinogenicity of benzene.

Long-term potentiation and memory.

Author information

  • 1Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience, Department of Physiology, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland.

One of the most significant challenges in neuroscience is to identify the cellular and molecular processes that underlie learning and memory formation. The past decade has seen remarkable progress in understanding changes that accompany certain forms of acquisition and recall, particularly those forms which require activation of afferent pathways in the hippocampus. This progress can be attributed to a number of factors including well-characterized animal models, well-defined probes for analysis of cell signaling events and changes in gene transcription, and technology which has allowed gene knockout and overexpression in cells and animals. Of the several animal models used in identifying the changes which accompany plasticity in synaptic connections, long-term potentiation (LTP) has received most attention, and although it is not yet clear whether the changes that underlie maintenance of LTP also underlie memory consolidation, significant advances have been made in understanding cell signaling events that contribute to this form of synaptic plasticity. In this review, emphasis is focused on analysis of changes that occur after learning, especially spatial learning, and LTP and the value of assessing these changes in parallel is discussed. The effect of different stressors on spatial learning/memory and LTP is emphasized, and the review concludes with a brief analysis of the contribution of studies, in which transgenic animals were used, to the literature on memory/learning and LTP.

NCRI Iran News

NCRI - The Iranian regime's State Security Forces arrested five more workers of Bafgh Mine Ore on Saturday August 23, further intensifying the labour protests.

The miner were arrested as the strike by thousands of workers entered its fifth consecutive day.

Some 5,000 Iranian mine workers went on strike on Tuesday in central province of Yazd demanding the release of two workers who had been arrested by the State Security Forces.

The two workers of Bafgh Iron Ore mine were arrested at the request of the mine's management. The forces had planned to arrest 16 other workers who also had been involved in a 40 day strike in May.

May strike ended after the authorities pledged to meet their demand. The worker wanted the plans for transferring 28.5 percent of the mine's share to private sector be cancelled.

The workers and their families, who form the half of the population of Bafgh, demanded that the profit from the shares be spent on improving the living conditions in the city.

Striking workers also had demanded the resignations of the mine's director and that workers receive job security guarantees.

The strike ended when the governor of the province promised their demands would be met within 2 month.

The deadline is reaching in few day while none of the workers demands have been met.

The Economics Of Human Suffering

BY J. R. Morse

September 30 - October 6, 2001 Issue | Posted 9/30/01 at 2:00 PM

One thing we economists always teach is that smart people snap up undervalued resources, fix them up, and resell them at a profit.

Investors mean much the same thing when they say “buy low, sell high.” Suppose I told you that you had ready access to a very common but deeply undervalued resource, and that you could snap it up for a song. Would you be interested?

Suffering. Pain. Everyone has it. Nobody wants it. Yet, for a Christian, pain and suffering are spiritual goldmines.

Everyone faces pain. Sometimes, we bring it on ourselves. Other times, pain just drops into our lives out of the clear blue sky—as it literally did in the tragedy that struck New York Sept. 11. Most people in the world see suffering as something to avoid. The modern world goes to great lengths to avoid pain, discomfort or even mild inconvenience. When grief cannot be avoided, the modern world has trouble knowing how to face it.

But Our Lord taught us otherwise. Jesus showed us during his passion that suffering has redemptive value. Through his suffering on the cross, he redeemed the sins of the world.

Even our own grief and sorrow can have redemptive value. We all know the experience of becoming a better person through facing and surviving a tough time. That is only the most readily visible example of good coming from evil. At a more spiritual level, God himself transforms our pain into grace. By offering up our sufferings to God, we unite ourselves with Christ and his passion.

As St. Paul says, “Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of his body, which is the Church” (Colossians 1:24). St. Paul doesn't mean that Christ needs our assistance to effect redemption. He means that we can participate, in fact, that God wants us to participate—in the passion of his Son.

We know that the prayers of the sick and suffering are especially sweet to God. In our suffering, we have a unique contribution to make to the long-term spiritual health of our country. We can turn the trials of our sickness, infirmity or old age into a constant prayer.

We know from the lives of the saints and holy people that this kind of prayer will be the source of a great deal of comfort and consolation for us. Our suffering seems to be pointless to the world and, indeed, it may seem pointless to us at times. But Our Lord assures us that any suffering united to his is not pointless, but precious and powerful.

We know that the prayers of the sick and suffering are especially sweet to God.

As a deacon of the early Church, St. Lawrence had responsibility for the distribution of food to the poor. The Roman authorities assumed he must be in charge of vast sums of wealth. So they arrested him, and demanded that he turn over the riches of the Church. St. Lawrence gathered the poor of the city, and said that they were the wealth of the Church. When the enraged authorities martyred Lawrence by roasting him alive over a massive stone cooker, he had the fortitude to joke with them.

He told them that he was done on one side, and they should turn him over. This, I think you'll agree, is not ordinary behavior. This was the extraordinary behavior of a man sustained by divine grace. God took his suffering and transformed it.

And he can do the same with yours and mine. We can offer him our tragedies, great and small, and ask him to use the grace to benefit whoever needs it the most. He will in turn bring us into closer union with him, and help others, whom you may never see.

It may be the most highly leveraged transaction you ever participate in: You give God something completely worthless, and he transforms it into love and grace and strength and hope. But then, God is like that. He always outdoes us in generosity.

This is the way that we can find meaning in the mundane events of everyday life. We offer them up as a continual prayer. Peeling potatoes, bathing an infirm person, smiling instead of grumbling—these little things become big things in the arsenal of love. They sanctify our souls.

So give the Church's advice. Give it to your grandmother in a nursing home, your sister-in-law who just had a miscarriage, your co-worker whose wife insists on a divorce, and, yes, to anyone you know who has suffered from the terrorists' attacks. Tell your unbelieving friends to act as though they believe.

Go through the motions of allowing God to sanctify ordinary actions. At least they will know that they have allied themselves on the side of goodness and love.

In less than 100 years, every one of us will see God face to face. Perhaps you or I will see him much sooner than that. When we do, he will show us how much our offerings meant to the world.

Doesn't Work (Spence, 2001).

Campus Growth and Development

Never a campus to be accused of “dreaming too small,” Notre Dame has $300 million to $400 million of campus development projects in progress or on the horizon. They include a center for executive education, a social sciences building, a student activities building, two residence halls, a multi-disciplinary research building, and an art museum.

Featured Current Projects

The Stayer Center for Executive Education will be located immediately south of the Mendoza College of Business, adjacent to the new DeBartolo Performing Arts Center and the Irish Green—both vital links between the University and the local and regional communities. Students and participants will be well-served by the deluxe lodging, restaurants, and retail available in nearby Eddy Street Commons, a mixed-used development now under construction along the campus’s southern corridor.

The installation of a new nuclear accelerator is underway in the Nuclear Science Laboratory, located in the Nieuwland Hall of Science.

job advice for smart relative (BS//MBA) with weak resume by Strategery

I have a relative that has spent the past 10 years underemployed and at a start up. He was 6-figures before he took a buyout, but cant get back on a solid career track in this economy. Any suggestions for professional jobs in Minneapolis or Chicago that can allow him to get back on track?

He has been in the energy field, initially utilities and more recently a niche coal gasification startup that has no money to even pay him. Engineering undergrad in the midwest and MBA at Northwestern. He is in is mid 40's and healthy, but I'd guess his discouragement is getting in the way of finding anything.

Educators Who Change Lives

The Making of a Great Teacher

A few words on Washington’s teacher of the year, from his mentor.

By Frank Manthou, English teacher at Kentwood High School, Kent, Washington.

Jay Maebori (left) and Frank Manthou

Photo by Ellen Banner

If anyone had told me a decade ago that Jay Maebori would now be Washington state’s teacher of the year, I would have told them they were . . . right. When we first met, more than a decade ago, Jay was a sportswriter for the Kent News Journal and I was operating the scoreboard for the Seattle Mariners, as well as serving as athletic director of Kentwood High School. We struck up a good friendship based largely on our shared beliefs about what was in the best interest of students and athletes.

I was also head of the English department at the time, and as Jay worked to change careers I was certain that his dedication to educating young people would make him an excellent colleague at Kentwood. We hired him on his last day of student teaching at another school.  We were that certain of his future success in teaching.

His career in journalism gave Jay a confidence rarely seen in new teachers. He has an innate ability to see the big picture in his classroom, analyze, and make changes as he goes. I saw Jay soak up all that I and other mentors had to offer. Each night he put in extra hours to produce the most effective lessons. Each day his students report on the “Thing I Learned” in their interactive student notebooks. And he’s not just outstanding in class, but also a concerned educator who works the door at basketball games, coaches tennis, and takes opportunities to make connections with students.

One thing Jay may not realize is what he’s given me: hope. I will soon leave the profession after 36 years, and educators like Jay are a bright light to the future.

Monkeys Use Perfume, Too.

Matthias Laska, a professor of zoology at the Linköping University in Sweden, discovered that monkeys use perfume too!

In most of these cases, the scientists speculate that the leaf mash might have been used to mitigate topical skin infections or repel bugs.

But Laska and his team found that of the plants used by the Mexican spider monkeys, only wild celery is known to have insect-repelling compounds and antifungal properties. The other plants simply smell good.

The scientists, therefore, conclude that self-anointing "may play a role in the context of social communication, possibly for signalling of social status or to increase sexual attractiveness".

Fort Robinson Museum

headquarters/museum building [R659-523] Seventy-Five years of military history!

From Crazy Horse to the cavalry to the K-9 Corps, Fort Robinson played host to them all. Experience the long and varied history of this outpost on the Plains. The museum at Fort Robinson is located in the 1905 post headquarters building. Museum exhibits trace the history from the post's role guarding the Red Cloud Agency (1874-77) through the housing of World War II German POW's (1943-46). Among the many fascinating objects you will see in the museum's exhibits are the only known dog kennel from the K-9 Corps of World War II, marksmanship medals earned by Caleb Benson, a Buffalo Soldier at Fort Robinson between 1902 and 1909, and nineteenth-century Sioux objects related to the Red Cloud Agency.

To learn more about Fort Robinson's history, you can visit more than a dozen historic structures and sites such as the 1904 blacksmith shop, the 1908 veterinary hospital, the 1887 officers' quarters, the 1875 guardhouse and adjutant's office, and the old post cemetery. A museum library featuring materials on Fort Robinson, military, and western history is available to researchers for inhouse use. A self-guided tour book and many books on military and western history are available for purchase in the museum store.

Lloyd thinks Ciara is a “Hollywood B*tch”, Plus Ciara Readies New Album

Tue, Sep 29 2009 by Necole Bitchie Filed Under: Bitchie Chicks Celebrity News Rumor Control

R&B singer Lloyd has stepped out on Murder Inc recently but that hasn’t stopped him from throwing shade on fellow Atlien Ciara. According to a recent interview in Hip Hop Weekly, he and Ciara were high school friends but are no longer in contact because he feels she has changed:

“I don’t f**k with Hollywood b**ches and she’s like one of the chicks that’s just changed along the way with the fame and the money and all of that. I don’t really get down with her anymore on some real s**t. The truth hurts, but it will set you free. But I wish her all the best.”

Question is: Who pissed in his cereal? Lloyd sounds bitter however I’ve probably thrown that “Hollywood” line on Ciara in the past. (especially after she started hanging out with Kim K). Who cares what I think though? I’m just a blogger b#tch! Anyway, you’ll be happy to know that Ciara moved from Atlanta to the West Coast for good reason. Rap – Up has revealed that she moved out there to secretly work on a new album with The Dream and Tricky Stewart. Ciara didn’t feel as though “Fantasy Ride” was her best piece of work and recruited the producing duo to help develop an album full of dance tracks that she hoped to release at the end of this year.

“This record obviously is gonna have tempo to it, but I think it’s gonna have even more substance than the last record, Tricky discloses. “She dances and we always want to bring out what she does that other people don’t. There’s a chance that it might come this year. That was the goal, but at the same time, we didn’t want to rush anything. Right now, she’s on her grind, coming back, trying to make a better album than she made last time and get back to that mark where everybody knew that she was in the top tier of the female business.”

I’m sure the Dream and Tricky will create something epic but I would love to see her collaborate with Jazzy Pha again. Is that a burnt bridge? Ciara and Jazzy Pha/ Brandy & Rodney Jerkins; Those were formulas that worked….

Can’t wait to hear the new album though…

Eyes to Kill Excess Mascara

Have a question about this item? Our Beauty Product Specialist is here to help.

Giorgio Armani has upped the volume with Eyes to Kill Excess, the ultimate weapon in eye seduction. In the darkest black, the exceptionally volumizing mascara arms the lashes instantly, accentuating the eye with more depth and intensity.

Instant Full Volume:
Eyes to Kill Excess full volume mascara thickens and separates the lashes with a striking, long lasting, black wet finish. This clearly defined, denser lash fringe is the best weapon for daring, volumizing lashes.

Oversized Brush:
The secret to the Eyes to Kill Excess mascara wand lies in the combination of a unique formula and an oversized patented lash brush. This unique high precision, supple bristle weave design coats and texturizes each lash in less strokes.

Science Smart:
The fusion of a Wax™ Complex and the new texturizing agents creates a fluid and creamy texture that glides onto the lashes and allows for an easy, homogeneous application. Wax™ Complex contains a blend of hard and soft waxes to optimize the lashes with an instantaneous full volume impact. From the root to the tip, coating and grooming lash by lash, leaving them thickened yet flexible.

Black Lacquered:

To accentuate the Eyes to Kill Excess, the outer casing is in shiny black lacquer, engraved with the signature logo.

About Giorgio Armani:
The Giorgio Armani collection came into being in 1975, when the designer rewrote the rules for menswear, revolutionizing proportions and aiming at an unheard of fluidity and elegance. The following year, observing that the fashion needs of women were also changing, he offered the same soft, unstructured jackets as the basis for a new womenswear collection. Since then, the line has never ceased to evolve, with continual research into an aesthetic based on essential, never ostentatious, style as its outstanding trait. Elegant, modern and sophisticated, the Giorgio Armani collection stands out for the excellence of its manufacture, the extreme attention to detail, the purity of the lines and the use of high quality materials. The clothes are designed to bring out the wearer's personality, never to overwhelm or disguise.

About Jay Strongwater:
His jewelry collection began as modest gifts for his mother. His line soon sparkled on runways and in fashion magazines. Following this success, he turned his attention to home and then to beauty, using his trademark old-world, handcrafted techniques and Austrian crystals.

About Jay Strongwater:
Jay Strongwater's love of the elegant but vividly bejeweled objet—whether it's meant to rest on a tabletop or the graceful curve of a woman's neck—has led him on a journey through the worlds of fashion and home furnishings. He began his career while a student at the Rhode Island School of Design. After garnering raves for a necklace he'd made his mother, he took jewelry samples to open buyer days at some of New York's finest department stores, and soon a burgeoning business was born. At the age of 23, Strongwater met designer Oscar de la Renta, with whom he began to collaborate on jewelry designs for runway shows. The move to home accessories was delightfully serendipitous & organic. For the 1994 holiday season, Strongwater sent gifts of jewel-encrusted filigree picture frames to friends, fashion editors, and buyers, who immediately fell in love with the design. By 1998, his Jewels for the Home collection had supplanted his fashion business. In essence, Strongwater created his own niche: the jeweler turning his meticulous eye and art toward a world beyond a woman's wrists, neck, and ears.

Is there any way available to move or transfer the .olm files stored in mac outlook 2011 to windows outlook 2007 which supports .pst file format. I have bought a new windows laptop and i want to transfer all my work based emails to windows outlook 2007.

I have a mac book air in which there are plenty of emails all hassled up from my work and other stuff, so all i want is to separate these emails and keep the windows system for work and the mac one for other stuff.

I have separated the emails in outlook 2011 in my mac but now i am not getting any way to move these emails or you can say mail boxes to windows outlook 2007.

Waiting for some simple and helpful solutions.
Thank you.

Thread: Question on Bad English speakers

  1. #1
    Hi guys,

    I have a couple of members who are blatantly just on there for the links. They do give good posts... but they cannot speak English very well at all.

    It is embarrassing reading their posts. What would you do? Delete them for bad English lol. Just doesn't seem fair.

  2. #2
    I wouldn't delete them myself, most of them are not native speakers of English so yes, the English won't be that good. Providing it is understandable though, I don't mind it assuming they have a valid excuse for poor English.

  3. #3
    Usually just ask for clarification is my way of doing it.

    However, in my rules for many of my forums, I usually state my rules that the users must be English speaking. That at least declares that the user will pay attention to their English when they join the forum.

  4. #4
    On our forum we have members from china, norway, canada, india, greece, belguim, etc, so we have a lot who are not english speaking as their first languauge if we cant make a post out or its a little hard to understan we just ask them to explain it a bit better, we dont delete content unless its to the extreme where even we cant understand it

  5. #5
    I wouldn't do anything. :/

  6. #6
    I actually have a few members that have poor english grammar and spelling. However they do contribute, so I don't really do much about it.

Time for solutions … Sandi Boucher

Posted 17 January 2013 by in Editorial

Sandi Boucher

Sandi Boucher

THUNDER BAY – As the Idle No More rallies continue across this great nation, I cannot help but think of all those that suffer, either through lack of supports on our communities or through lack of compassion and understanding if they stand off-reserve, or both.  But what of solutions?  Is it not time for a Think Tank on this topic, made up of … who?

My thoughts today are fueled by my location, and that fact that yesterday I had the honour and the privilege to provide a motivational seminar on the Chapleau Cree First Nation.  After the session, my hostess was gracious enough to offer me a tour of this community and to say I was shocked would be the understatement of the year.  The community is BEAUTIFUL and I needed to know why.  I am no expert by any means, but here is what I discovered:

1)  This is a new community.  The land claim was only recently settled so the oldest of the homes were constructed in 1992.  You can tell, the homes are well-maintained and beautiful.  I couldn’t help thinking that a new community, with a newly negotiated agreement allowed this community to “do things right”.  It is obvious throughout the community they did just that (in my humble opinion).

2)  All the homes on the community are privately owned.  Now for my non-Aboriginal followers you may not realize that is not the norm on First Nations.  Normally homes are band-owned, with occupants either paying no rent/mortgage or a minimal amount.  Now this may sound like heaven to those that struggle to pay such expenses, but think of how well we care for and maintain something so easily obtained.  How much would you care if something is broken, if you don’t pay to replace or fix it?

[sws_pullquote_left] Telling us what to do won’t work. Help us instead to find what does … because we all agree things have to change [/sws_pullquote_left]

Here on Chapleau Cree the mortgages are guaranteed by the community but each home owner pays their mortgage.  You can see the pride in the homes, in the well-maintained yards.  I was excited for the young people of the community, growing up knowing they had a shot at owning a home, an opportunity most First Nation kids never have.  Nice goal!

3)  There is a public works/public garage on the community.  This building has a mechanic on staff and people from the neighboring town can bring their vehicles here to be repaired.  A nice revenue stream for the community I am sure, but additionally the building houses the FNs Public Works department.  They own all their own equipment, graders and plows and even a portable sawmill.  I was told the Public Works building was built from the wood taken when they cleared the lot.  Beautiful.  And another option, youth can apprentice here, to become a mechanic.  AWESOME!

4)  Not far from the Public Works building, a moose locker, supporting the traditional hunting of the community.  Here members can hang and store their moose meat as it is being prepared, safely, in a cold environment.  Again, beautiful.

5)  Like many First Nations there is a gas bar on the res but this one is band owned.  Again, excellent revenue stream.

6)  And lastly, my hostess works at the Health Centre so I began asking her about programming.  I was thrilled to hear that members are involved and excited about belonging to Weight Watchers.  The band pays all but $50 of the costs, with this program doing much to offset the diabetic epidemic.  LOVE!

Bingo is a favorite past-time here too, but here families win fruit and vegetables and the grand prize – all the makings for a stew.  LOVE!

There are many things that “work” on Chapleau Cree First Nation including all of the residents (they have that ability thanks to the opportunities of the area) and i am not naive enough to think all of this could work for all our communities but it did get me thinking what if ….

The federal government loves National Task Forces and reports and consultations.  What if there was a National Task Force tasked with collecting best practices from our communities, documenting success stories like Chapleau Cree?  I would want to see north and southern, isolated and urban communities separated, but I have heard stories of box gardens, and economic development successes even in the far North.  We need to know more.

What if home ownership was introduced, even with a minimal payment, or mortgage geared to income?  It saddens me when I see the home of an elder reverted back to the band, with no option for the family to cherish that home, or reside there to remember their passed loved one, and that is a common occurrence on most communities.  We cherish the things we had to work hard to attain. It is human nature.  Would it not be amazing to give our youth the hope of having their own home one day?

What if federal funds were available for TRUE community capacity building, to fund such things as the purchase of equipment and the creation of opportunities like the Public Works building, the gas bar and the moose locker?  Again, much harder on a Northern res where everything including the equipment must be flown in but … possible?

At the end of the day I don’t have the answers but I have hope, and I have a voice and a pen (or keyboard).  Let’s start talking about what has worked, from the communities that are trying to find a way, from the First Nations themselves.  Empowerment is what the First Nations need.  Saving us won’t work.  Telling us what to do won’t work.  Help us instead to find what does … because we all agree things have to change.  No one can afford to be “Idle No More” in my humble opinion.

Colon Cancer

Colon Polyp - Pathology Question

I am a 38 year old White male who just received a colonoscopy. My father died of metastatic colon cancer last year at the age of 68, after a 2 year struggle. My scope found 2 sessile polyps, a 6mm one in the distal sigmoid colon, and a 1 cm one in the hepatic flexure. I was told on the phone that both were benign, and to return for another colonoscopy in 5 years.

I asked for a copy of the pathology report. The smaller polyp seems to be no problem, but the larger one was described as a "benign mucosal polyp, favor hyperplastic polyp, but see microscopic description." I am a bit perplexed by some of the terminology used to describe the larger one in the microscopic examination, and was hoping you might be able to help me. The report said:

"The bisected polyp presents frilly archtecture and excess mucin production. The crypts are slight elongated. The mucin production does not begin until after modest delay rather than in the depths of the crypts, which do not become particularly serrated until the upper part of the mucosa. The do not bend, flatten, flare, bulge or grow laterally along the muscularis mucosae to a significant degree. These histologic changes are more consistent with a classic hyperplastic polyp than a sessile serrated one, despite the relatively large size of the lesion. Nevertheless, some right-sided hyperplastic-looking polyps can exhibit biologic behavior more typical of adenomatous ones, and a somewhat abbreviated surveillance interval may be indicated. The material does not present the typical hypereosinophilic epithelium of a traditional serrated adenoma."

1. Based upon what I`ve written and my family history, do you suggest I seek a 2nd opinion on the sample from the hepatic flexure? Even though I was told it was benign, the description is less than definitive, and is even less reassuring when coupled with the fact that my dad`s last "clean" colonoscopy in 2005 was followed by the discovery of a softball-sized neoplasm in his cecum less than 3 years later...

2. What specific measures, if any, could add clarity to the diagnosis of the polyp in question?

3. Finally, do you think a 3 or 5 year surveillance period is more appropriate in my case?

Thank you very much for your consideration.

1. The polyps are benign but it sounds like the pathologist wasn't convinced that whether the larger polyp was hyperplastic or what is called a sessile serrated adenoma, which is considered precancerous. I would recommend that you seek a second opinion about it.

2. When you seek a second opinion, the slides could be sent to a second pathologist to review.

3. With your family history and polyp diagnosis, a three year follow up interval may be more appropriate but I would defer to the physicians who are more familiar with your case.

      Posted Dec 22, 1999 10:11 PM

      O.k, I have learned how to write a business plan. I spent two weeks turning up my own business plan and writing one for myself.

      Now, I want to teach others how to do what I have already done for myself. But......

      I'm not sure about the kind of headline to use for my title.

      "How to write an effective business plan"

      But, I want to write a headline that tells the reader how to make money. And, I want to tell them how to do this in my headline!

      So, do anyone know or can give me some good examples of headlines that I can use in order to let the reader of my headline know how they can also turn a profit with the above headline(or better headline)?

The king of techie/geeky movies?

Up next: Alan Turing in The Imitation Game

benedict cumberbatch wikipedia

Benedict Cumberbatch, the British actor who always seems more imposing than his official 6-foot height, is establishing himself as a go-to guy for tech-themed movies.

His next big splash will be portraying Alan Turing, the brilliant mathematician and "Father of Computer Science," in the movie The Imitation Game alongside Keira Knightley (Leonardo DiCaprio was rumored early on to be in contention for the leading role). Turing, who helped crack the Enigma code during World War II, had what would have been his 100th birthday celebrated around the world in 2012.

+ Also in NetworkWorld:  Alan Turing in the Media | Best/Worst Celebrity Tech Moments of 2014 +

Cumberbatch can only hope that The Imitation Game, slated to debut late this year, fares better than his most recent techie role, playing Wikileaks leader Julian Assange in the box office bomb The Fifth Estate.

Notwithstanding that movie's performance, Cumberbatch has endeared himself to geeky entertainment enthusiasts via his lead role in the TV series Sherlock as well as by portraying the dragon Smaug and Necromancer in the Hobbit movies and the evil Khan in Star Trek into Darkness.

Once illiterate man now advocate, author

Published: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at 04:17 PM.

Noted literacy advocate and author John Corcoran will be the guest speaker Sunday for “Literacy: Unlocking Opportunity,” co-sponsored by the Craven Literacy Council and First Presbyterian Church of New Bern.

The 2 p.m. program at First Presbyterian Church is open to the community.

Corcoran’s visit is underwritten by the New Hope Literacy Task Force of New Hope Presbytery.

Corcoran will relate his compelling life story. Despite the fact that he did not learn to read as a child, he graduated from high school and college and became a high school teacher in California.

He will tell of the elaborate and inventive ruses he employed to conceal his inability to read. Even his parents were unaware that he could not read.

After leaving teaching, he became a successful real estate developer. At age 48, in a pivotal life experience, he finally admitted his inability to read and sought help.

He is the author of two books on the topic and frequently speaks as a literacy advocate.

It’s a lesson he carries with him each time he steps on the football field as quarterback of the Havelock Rams, and it will no doubt be there as he leads the Rams against Concord in Saturday’s state championship game.

“Part of playing football is don’t let anybody touch you,” he said.

Few have been able to get their hands on the senior quarterback, which is one reason why the Rams are back in the state championship game.

Cooper’s elusiveness has been on display throughout the year, eluding tacklers in the pocket, avoiding defenders while running the option and escaping from others on punt returns.

“I just thank the Lord for giving me the ability to do that,” said Cooper, who has committed to play college at South Carolina. “I’m very grateful to have that ability.”

Cooper started in last year’s state championship game, but in that one, he was catching passes as a receiver from record-setting quarterback Garrett Crowe. Cooper caught four passes for 86 yards and two touchdowns in being named the Offensive Most Valuable Player for the game.

His role will be much different against Concord in this year’s state title game as he leads the team from the quarterback position. Cooper has thrown for 2,798 yards and 23 touchdowns on the season with just six interceptions.
