While the transportation issue can be frustrating to some, I think it provides each park and resort with its own identity. Animal Kingdom cannot be viewed from any other park. As you near it, via the swampy landscape surrounding its own devotged highway, the magic is already beginning, and you haven't even caught a glimpse of it yet!
One of my favorite aspects of the expansive WDW complex is actually something very small, the road signs. Once I've entered WDW and I see the purple, green, and yellow directional signs and speed limit signs, I know that I am somewhere else entirely than Central Florida. Make fun of me if you wish, but those road signs make the magic real. Without the massive scale and size of WDW, guests would not be truly enveloped in the magic as they are now. I feel as though this characteristic is actually a key to their success, the opposite of a liability.
I went to Disneyland last summer. I liked how compact it was, but also saw it frustrating. I stayed on property so everything was close, but it still felt like there was too much space to just walk around. The monorail there was little help. I found the Esplanade startling small, plain and too close to DCA.
I think the one problem WDW suffers from is the lack of monorails. A reasonable system can be built, and if Disney is really looking to grow it's attendance it will have to invest in something besides buses. The monorail is still charming and fun to ride and affords a first and safe time for people to experience mass public transit and if expanded wouldn't be the bullet of reality in the Disney landscape that buses are.
I even think USO should have some kind of vehicle to move people from the garages to the parks because the distance walked is still too large. Ulitimately, USF doesn't use the space it has as well as other places like Disneyland and USC. They are land locked, and could use more land, but the way the parks are laid out and the surrounding land is used, it's not as tight or dense or organized to it's best use.
My idea of a stress-free, relaxing vacation does not consist of waiting in long lines for mass transportation in the blazing, sweltering Florida sun. I can't tell you how UNpleasant the experience was in 2006 when we had to wait for the buses to arrive in order to get to our desired locations -- sometimes the wait for a second bus was required, depending upon the number of people in line ahead of us. The boat option was better when we traveled to the Magic Kingdom, but let's not forget about all of the other parks & Downtown Disney locations that were also a must-see! Bus transportation simply stunk.
I realize that many Disney supporters will comment on the fact that Universal also has its share of long lines when catching a water taxi from the resorts to the parks; however, the option to walk ALWAYS exists. In fact, my husband & I typically prefer a shaded walk or an occasional bicycle ride.
IMO, UO's layout just makes the most sense!
Let me see.... When I come to Orlando this November and stay at Port Orleans Riverside does it matter to me that I need transport to get around 'The World'? The answer is a massive 'no' and I'll tell you why. Sure I could stay at Universal Orlando and walk (or maybe boat) from my hotel room to the -uh - two theme parks. So that's maybe, um, 2 days of activity? Perhaps I'd want to go back again another day to redo the major rides and attractions but that's about it. Or would I rather use a bus (or a monorail) to access FOUR different parks and about ONE HUNDRED different restaurants spread over 20 something resorts? To my wife and I there's not even a discussion to be had here. Disney World Orlando is a no brainer! We have 4 parks on our doorstep, easy access to Universal, Seaworld and even Busch Gardens and Legoland, plus more restaurants than we can visit in 2 weeks. And honestly, we've never had a problem with the transport system. The fact that I can book a premier restaurant and get there and back without driving so I can enjoy a few drinks is a real bonus.
Give me -too much land' any day!
The shopping area and the two parks are right next to each other, meaning there's no need to use transportation to park hop as you do at Walt Disney World. On top of this, unlike Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Disneyland Paris still has plenty of room for expansion.
What's the best part about the way in which Disneyland Paris is set out and the transport system is organised? I can get on a train in London and get off, two hours later at a train station which is in the heart of Disneyland Paris, literally a 30 second walk from the entrance to Disneyland Park.
That isn't to knock Walt Disney World's layout, but maybe when EPCOT was planned they could have considered a location with a closer proximity to the Magic Kingdom. Yes, they have the space to spread it out, but so long as it doesn't damage the visitor experience (it may even improve it) why not have the parks a little closer together?
Part of the beauty to us is that an on-site hotel like Coronado Springs, AK Lodge, or even the All Star resorts are themselves attractions, and their separateness makes them relaxing.
We stayed at Dolphin last year, and it was awesome getting the boat to Epcot the first day, but the second time we tried it to MGM-Studios there was a huge delay. So I can see the complaints from people who don't typically rent a car and rely solely on Disney transportation.
That said: Our family has never been bothered by needing the car, and car/tram to a park is usually pretty quick. The only real hassle is Magic Kingdom where it's car/tram/monorail (or ferry), and the monorails and ferries are packed at park closing. From now on we plan to car everywhere except MK, and then take the bus directly to/from the front of MK.
But my vote goes with Disneyworld and I know every time my vacation has ended I say where did the time go. Disneyworld does not makes it seem you are spending 7 days in a theme park with so much to do.
Also, you have to consider things like conflicting noise from nighttime events and such as that for the different parks..... You don't want the sights and sounds of one parks nighttime spectacular bleeding over into the sights and sounds of another. You also don't want the sounds of loud attractions or things more associated with one environment of one park possibly interfering with the theme or environment of another park.
Still, I do like the idea of the parks being a little closer together and more connected when possible. I do like the set up of CityWalk in association to the parks at Universal better than Downtown Disney in association to its parks.
I think maybe if parks can't be that close or connected being a close enough you could have a monorail or train or some sort of fun transportation system to get you there would be great. Maybe an amusement park Subway system of sorts!
As cool as the park is for being in front of a giant lake, I really wish I was able to walk to a parking lot to catch my bus back to my timeshare.
I'm also one of those people who never do park hopping - unless I'm at Universal Orlando. I consider Disney World to be more like "park commuting."
The last thing I want to do when I'm on vacation is get in the car and drive from location to location. Don't even mention riding the bus to me. I stopped doing that after my sophomore year in high school. Compact and walkable is my preference.
If my wife and I were going on a short weekend retreat I would rather stay at USF because the resort hotels are within walking distance to the parks. My personal preference is the Royal Pacific with HRH a close second.
I like the fact that your room key is an Express Pass for USF and IOA. That alone lets you save hours of waiting in line and one can ultimately ride until they are sick of riding and that can be done pretty much before lunch!
If I were spending a week in Orlando, I would opt to stay at Disney because let's face it, there is no contest on who has more to offer. Sorry USF, but it is Disney....AND why does Disney have the edge(really more than an edge in my book)? It is because they have so much land that they are able to continue adding world class entertainment for years to come and still keep a natural feel to the park.
I like the fact that for the most part once you are in a Disney park the outside world doesn't exist. You just can't say that for USF because you can see one park from the other and also the highway and surrounding areas and that just takes some of the WOW away from it for me.
I agree that one could spend much more time travelling between parks at WDW, but really, the people who gripe about that for the most part are the people who schedule every minute out of a vacation and there is no way they will ever be satisfied. I know this first hand. I see it every week as we now live in Orlando and hit the parks regularly and LEISURELY! The secret to a perfect Orlando vacation is......
Most people ruin their vacations by having the attitude that they have to do everything there is to do in Orlando on their trip because they don't know when or if they will ever return. That is a formula for a BAD time!
Sorry for my long winded answer! In conclusion, I would ask USF if it is possible to have too much land. I bet they say no!
The biggest clue that even Disney realize that the set-up of WDW isn't the best, is that they never repeated it at any of their subsequent resorts.
WDW really has no such issue. Each of the four parks still have room for expansion that can increase the overall show area for guests to visit, and once those areas have been exhausted, there's always room for a 5th gate if need be, years down the line. As said before, I kind of like each park having its own space, allowing them to become their own separate experience without impeding on the other parks intended atmosphere. I don't want to see icons from other parks that I'm not in, I want to be in the midst of the intended story of whatever gate I happen to be enjoying, while all of the strategically placed weenies in that said park do there job to pull me further into the experience.
The other thing about the WDW Resort Complex, is that it really is it's own community, it's own world if you will. I love passing through those roadway entry gates and knowing that I have arrived. The roads I travel on don't bother me because they lead to the magic. The street signs I read help to point me in the direction, and once I reach my intended destination, as I come around the corner and start to visually take in the park I am visiting for the day, there's a sense of discovery, or rediscovery if you will, and comfort in knowing that I have once again arrived for yet another day of adventure. If I had only one day to cram in 2 parks to maximize my visit, then I'd go with a more quaint, cute park set up like DLR or USO, but other than that, I'll take the "blessing of size" any day of the year.
This could obviously be fixed via a massive capital expenditure linking Downtown Disney and Typhon Lagoon to the TTA, expanding the Epcot line to Boardwalk and DHS and a Blizzard Beach and DAK line and an obvious overhaul to the TTA. While you would still have to bus to TTA it might long term create a savings instead of having literally thousands of indivduals bus routes and restore a certain degree of magic as guest enter the parks.
The secondary problem of "excess land" is landscaping...many times when riding on WDW roads "there is no magic" its just spotty grass and whatever trees where there to begin with. While with less land you can manicure everything and create a more immersive complete enviroment.
A primary example of these issue is riding the Monorail into MK...ask yourself when you last saw a topiary from the window?
I expect within 2 years, using Extra Magic Hours and RFID technology, only WDW resort guests will be able to fully use the theme and water parks. I also expect that Annual Passholders who live nearby and do not stay at the resort and all others who stay off-property (to save money) will be totally excluded from Fast Passes and Advanced Dining Reservations at the parks and resorts. These measures would have to be implemented to maximized the room capacities at the resorts and income from vacationers in order to pay for all the new and planned resort rooms. This will also be a restraint on the huge numbers of people currently going to the parks. The crowds for the last 2 years have been constantly growing with no let up in sight.
For these predicable consequences of what "size" means, I would have to say that the blessing of size is not a blessing at all.
Looking at the WDW property, one sees that there are several districts within the available space. The Magic Kingdom has its set of hotels, Epcot and the Studios have their own set, Downtown Disney has its own set, as well. Travel within each of these districts is essentially trivial. It is only when traveling from one to another that one has to use the mass transit system. If it were not for the huge assortment of activities available on property, the mass transit system wouldn't be necessary, and I don't hear anyone complaining that Disney has too much to do. If it came down to cutting the mass transit system at the cost of the variety of attractions or using mass transit and leaving the variety intact, I think the choice is clear.
How many attractions have been built at Disney's Hollywood Studios since Sounds Dangerous became outdated? The same could be said for Ellen's Energy Adventure over at EPCOT.
Whilst having less space is a disadvantage when it comes to expansion, it can mean that the overall quality of a park is better as the older attractions are getting moved out and replaced with better ones to save space.
Not only does Disney World not have enough to do with each theme park unlike their California and Tokyo counterparts, getting around the parks are a nightmare. I don't like using busses and the monorails to get around. Contending with breakdowns, congestion, and crowds are not helping with the immersive environment unless the idea is to mix with tons of smelly guests. Crowds are not fun especially when you have to contend with yet another line when the park closes.
Disney World isn't as immersive as claimed. It is a Florida swamp with nothing to look at after a day at the parks.
You can do this at Disneyland California too. The idea is you eat at Disney, shop at Disney, and do all things Disney. I get it. It's called a tourist trap. Just make sure your wallet survives the raid.
PD Also I hate when im on splash mountain on MK and nned to get to space mountain asap is a very tiring walk if you ask me. People like comfortness space yes, but Disneyworld is too commercial now to please everyone.
Think about WDW:
-Monorail is OLD. While not necessarily outdated,(it is obviously updated and kept modernized)the circuit itself has become inefficient compared to what it was during its inception. It is unfortunate that we will likely never see a large-scale expansion of it (running spurs to the remaining, unconnected properties, or maybe multiple tracks on the circuit to double or triple capacity).
To be frank, I tend to hate buses. Don't know why, I think it just makes me feel like I am sitting on a city block at the stop back home or something... kinda removes me from the magic of it all. Plus an individual bus does not have a terribly high capacity anyhow. Maybe some ground-based rail in addition to the super-expensive monorail infrastructure? How about a REAL people mover system? Something of that nature would be cool, efficient, and would serve as a unique attraction in and of itself.
However, for a simple daytrip I'll take the compact walkable resort for pure convenience.
For example, in the transition to the Simpsons Ride, the old building went through a lot of upgrades, and the ride units and control systems themselves were completely overhauled. If you owned a park and were putting that kind of cash into an attraction under-the-hood, would you simply open it back up and keep it the way it was?

Who Got Caught Reading?
Published on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 - 10:02am
Petworth Neighborhood Library encourages others to be shameless about their love of books! It's never too early to begin reading with your baby, nor is it too late to encourage good reading habits in your older child. Strong readers are typically better communicators, as well as critical and creative thinkers. The DC Public Library always seek opportunities to promote learning, literacy, reading and a general enjoyment of books through engaging events, programs and clubs in various neighborhood libraries throughout the city.
As part of this goal, Petworth Library's Children's staff urged patrons to flaunt their love of literature with our "Get Caught Reading" Campaign! Our sneaky Petworth paparazzi photographed children of all ages as they enjoyed books of their choice. Parents were also invited to share their own candid shot of their child reading a favorite book for use on our fun Get Caught Reading Campaign poster (pictured left; click the picture for a larger view).
Who Got Caught Reading? (Pictured left in poster clockwise: Brenda & Deija; Royal; Auggie; Noble; Annaya; Ben, Amelia & Nic; Evelyn & Lucinda; Adrian & mom. Pictured below right:Kimora & Elijah; Briana & Simone) Thank you to all the photogenic families who participated...keep reading!
By the way, everyone should stop by Petworth Neighborhood Library to check out our excellent books. There are so many new titles to choose from -- whether in print, audiobook, play-away or e-reader formats! While you are at the library, take a moment to register for our our summer reading challenge (which includes free prizes!) and learn about other engaging programs for children, teens and adults.
We look forward to your participation and remember, there is no shame when you are absorbed in a great book!

The St. Paul City Attorney's office is hoping to make an example out of a man accused of posting naked picture of his ex-girlfriend online.
Sara Grewing, St. Paul's City Attorney, said prosecuting these offenses can be difficult because criminal defamation charges in cases like this are incredibly rare.
"It's a new venue for victimization," Grewing said.
And that new venue is the Internet. The very venue a 19-year-old St. Paul man used to post six nude photos of his 17 year old ex-girlfriend.
According to the criminal complaint, the couple dated for a year, and were on again and off again until December 2011. During a break-up, the man threatened to post the photos. Vulnerable, and leaving him for another man, the young woman asked the man to delete the pictures.
In 2012, the young woman's new boyfriend found the pictures after searching her name online.
The ex-girlfriend's naked body, decorated with her name and lewd comments as captions, were visible to anyone with a Yahoo account.
If Grewing wins the case, the former boyfriend could face a year in jail and a $3,000 fine.
"We want women and men, and folks in domestic relationships that they're trying to get out of to realize, that's when things are most dangerous from a lot of aspects," Grewing said.
While the photos were viewed anywhere from 77 to nearly 400 times on the web, some question whether throwing the man in jail would violates his first amendment rights.
"She gave him the pictures," said Susy Birabgara of St. Paul. "She should've known the precautions of what could've happened if he ever did that."
Hailey Koehler said she views the betrayal as a clear criminal act and the woman involved should not be blamed.
"He's a skeez ball if he's going to do that to a woman who trusted him, he should go down. It falls under the rape culture category, anything like that, any kind of exploitation of women," Koheler said.
Others said they believe the defendant should face more time in jail and needs to serve as an example for those seeking revenge on their exes in this manner.
"That's her privacy. If we give [offenders] a tougher sentence, say four years, then people will maybe think, 'Okay, I don't want to do this if I have to stay four years in prison,'" said Victor Chopianet.
The other St. Paul man charged with criminal defamation in a separate, but similar, case is currently on warrant status.

Tere, We see you in a couple of weeks. Maria Elena is also coming. Cariños, Amparito
Tere, felicidades de nuevo! Parece que con este ano nuevo que has cumplido, te has echo mas formalita y llegas a tiempo....Wow! Todavia mas de uno esta en shock con eso....un fuerte abrazo, lo pasamos genial ayer en tu cumple...
Hi Tere, I have been trying to find Juanita Gonzales for over a year. Her brother Diego found me on this website and emailed me 3 days ago. I will post the pictures on my profile. Here is his email, Hola Niurka, The other day curiosity took me to the Pedro Pan Miami Herald web site and while searching a few known names which I still remembered, including that of my sister Juanita, I came across the fact that there were four ladies that had tried to contact her including you. Well here are the facts of why she has been unable to respond to any request. I am my sisters voice. Her name is Juanita (Gonzalez, maiden name) Sainz. I believe she shared the same home with you in Florida City. My sister no longer has cognitive awareness. A few years back she suffered a stroke due to some unknown brain conditions at the time, which left her progressively, in a matter of speaking in a vegetative state. She is presently located at the Waterford Convalescent Center in Hialeah. I do not see her as often as I should and when I do, it is questionable whether she recognizes me or not. Her husband Gilberto continues almost on a daily basis to visit and check on her and some of the nurses, claim that she recognizes him. Part of the reason I do not see her very often is the fact that I live in Indiana, well at least 6 months out of the year, the other 6, I spend in Florida (snow bird) and thats when I take the time to visit her. As you can see, I have to apologize to have used this medium as a sort of catharsis. I have never put this into words or thought much about it, I just took it for granted. Life is always throwing us curve balls, and it is a matter of weather with swing or choke. Well included you can see some of the pictures of which Im sure you will remember. I have more bright memories of my sister that I could share with you; it all has not been gloom and doom. She married twice and had two daughters from her first marriage, both living in Florida. Her last job was as a secretary for the Florida State Police Highway Department in Broward County. Please, would you be so kind to pass this along to the other ladies, as you probably already know who they are. Enough for now and looking forward to your response. Thanks Diego
Mi querida Tere: Que alegria saber de ti! Yo tampoco entro mucho en el website, asi que he estado un poco incomunicada. Como estas? Espero todo este bien. Estoy muy contenta que nos vamos a ver dentro de unos meses!!!!!!! Cuidate mucho. Un abrazo y un beso. Mercy
Hola Tere m gustaria tu amiga PP aunque no me recuerdo pero algun dia

Cake decorating
I took a cake decorating class a few years ago from a local cake decorating genius, Carrie Williams. (Check out some of her incredible work on her not-updated-nearly-enough blog.)
I learned the basics, like how to make little stars and flowers and how to frost a cake without getting crumbs all over the top. I still can't make a perfect Wilton-approved rose, but I don't really care. Mostly, the class gave me to confidence to get into the kitchen and get a little more creative. So if you've ever thought about taking a cake decorating class, I definitely recommend it. It's a lot of fun, and you get to eat your homework! Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Ace Hardware all offer classes at various times throughout the year in Sioux Falls.
Anyhow, I usually don't do anything too fancy to the cakes I make. I focus on the flavor (butter only – no gross Crisco in my frosting, despite what the Wilton people say), and make sure I have a good cake-to-frosting ratio. Sometimes I'll even pour a little chocolate ganache on top to drip down the sides. Yum. Simple, sophisticated and pretty (always better, in my opinion, than to end up with a Cake Wreck).
But every now and then I like to do something to stretch my cake-decorating capabilities. So for my nephew's Lego-themed birthday, I made him a Lego cake – a Minifigure head and a few Lego bricks.
For the Lego head, I used two 8-inch round cakes with one 6-inch round on top. According to my son, I didn't have the frosting colored quite right at first ("Mom, I hate to tell you this, but you've failed." Funny kid.) And both he and my husband thought I should have carved out a little bit on the top of Lego guy's head so it would look EXACTLY like a real Lego – you know, so the little Minifigure Lego helmets have something to snap onto. Um, no. It's cake. Cake that we were going to be cutting up and eating less than two hours later. And then I kicked them both out of my kitchen.
I made the Lego bricks with mini bread pans (trimming a bit off of each side and off the top after they were baked to make them more rectangular and less like tiny loaves of bread). I cut small circles of cake to add to the top to make them look like Lego bricks.
To be honest, frosting those bricks was a giant pain, and I definitely didn't get the frosting completely smooth. They'd probably look better covered in fondant, and someday I might experiment with that. But they were fun to make and they tasted great.
I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out. Plus, birthday boy Roman loved it. Happy birthday, bud!

The Boston Cinema Census is an annual screening event hosted by the historic Brattle Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts. For years the BCC has provided an intimate and entertaining way for local filmmakers to present their work to a film loving audience.
In the true spirit of a census, the films presented at the BCC each year span the interests of narrative, documentary and experimental film. It is a vehicle for regional filmmakers to demonstrate their place in the local filmmaking community and an opportunity for audiences to experience current trends in local filmmaking.
Throughout its history the BCC has proven a key launching pad for New England filmmakers. Past BCC films have gone on to have very strong festival runs, moving next to festivals such as the New York Film Festival, SXSW and the Tribeca Film Festival.
Tickets can be purchased via the Brattle Theatre.

Study Provides New Insights into Tumor Cell Survival
A new study from NCI researchers has provided the first evidence that a specific transcription factor, C/EBPβ, is required for the transformation of macrophages into tumor cells, as well as the identification of a C/EBPβ-regulated gene that allows these cells to elude cell death and proliferate despite the absence of exogenous growth factors. The study, by Dr. Peter F. Johnson and colleagues, was published in the April 2004 Molecular and Cellular Biology.
The researchers infected bone marrow cells from mice lacking C/EBPβ with a transforming virus that carried the Myc and Raf oncogenes. This virus has been shown to produce myeloid tumor cells that are "self sufficient," no longer requiring external growth factors to proliferate. In this study, however, the authors showed that macrophage transformation is dependent on C/EBPβ. Further investigation using microarray analysis indicated that C/EBPβ activated the insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) gene, thus triggering a signaling pathway that is essential for tumor cell survival and proliferation.
Tumor cells' ability to avoid cell death is considered a central component of cancer development, the authors write. As a result, finding ways to interrupt the molecular pathways to tumor cell immortality, such as by inhibiting the activity of implicated transcription factors or the genes that they target, "has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer intervention."
A preliminary analysis, the authors noted, indicated that other transcription factors also are likely to play a role in IGF-I expression. The combination of their findings with future studies that further elucidate the mechanisms by which IGF-I is regulated, the authors concluded, "may facilitate the development of anticancer strategies based on inhibiting IGF-I production."
Evidence Shows Dynamic Nature of Steroid Receptor-Mediated Transcription
Dr. Gordon Hager and scientists in his laboratory have developed evidence that challenges the 30-year-old paradigm of how our cells respond to hormones. The classic view is that nuclear receptors such as the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) bind statically to chromatin - a complex of DNA and histone proteins in the cell nucleus - and nucleate large transcription complexes, which in turn mediate the transcription of genes that the receptor controls.
In a report published in the April 23 issue of Molecular Cell, Dr. Akhilesh Nagaich and colleagues in the Hager lab demonstrate that, contrary to widely held belief, the interaction of receptors such as GR with chromatin is highly dynamic and periodic; the interaction may last on the order of seconds rather than minutes or hours.
The researchers applied a technique called ultraviolet (UV) laser crosslinking to their novel in vitro chromatin model system, which closely approximates the in vivo state of a natural promoter. The UV laser crosslinking allowed the researchers to make fast measurements of GR binding and dissociation from the chromatin. They show the receptor first binds cooperatively to promoter DNA during chromatin remodeling, then is actively ejected from the template as the remodeling reaction proceeds.
Transcriptional regulation by nuclear receptors is now a major focus of pharmaceutical drug screening. The new results point to ligand-modified receptor interactions with chromatin remodeling systems as a new target for drug discovery.
Higher NHL Risk Among Asthmatics Linked to Pesticide Use
NCI researchers have found a higher risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) among asthmatics who have been exposed to common agricultural pesticides than among individuals without asthma.
To conduct the study, published online April 12 in the International Journal of Cancer, Dr. Won Jin Lee, of NCI's Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch, and colleagues pooled data from two population-based, case-controlled NHL studies conducted in three Midwestern states. They looked at cases of NHL diagnosed between 1980 and 1983 among white males over age 30 from Iowa and Minnesota, and NHL cases diagnosed between 1983 and 1986 among white men and women over age 21 in Nebraska. They compared the resulting 872 NHL case histories with 2,336 healthy controls from the same geographic areas and interviewed either the subjects or their next-of-kin to collect information on use of and exposure to pesticides and other known or suspected risk factors for NHL.
"We found that farmers with potential exposure to pesticides and a history of asthma tended to have higher relative risks for NHL than pesticide-exposed farmers not reporting asthma," the researchers observed. One possible explanation, they said, is that immunologic changes sparked by asthma may inhibit the immune system's ability to respond to potentially carcinogenic elements in specific pesticides. "Considering the widespread use of pesticides and the relatively high prevalence of asthma," the authors concluded, "further studies, particularly with carefully defined asthma diagnoses and biomarkers … are needed to confirm these findings and clarify the mechanisms involved."
UTF Adjuvant Chemo for Lung Adenocarcinoma Improves Patient Survival
Adjuvant chemotherapy with uracil-tegafur (UTF) improves survival among patients with completely resected stage I lung adenocarcinoma, according to the results of a new study from Japan. In the study, published in the April 22 New England Journal of Medicine, 979 patients aged 45 to 75 with stage I lung adenocarcinoma were randomized to surgery alone followed by observation, the standard therapy, or surgery plus UTF twice daily for 2 years. The UTF group, reported study authors Dr. Harubumi Kato and colleagues, had a statistically significant 5-year overall survival rate of 88 percent, compared with 85 percent for the standard therapy group.
There were few severe adverse reactions associated with UTF, with 10 patients (2 percent) developing a grade 3 adverse reaction. The authors reported that in patients with tumors 2 cm or less, the survival rate was 91 percent. Therefore, they recommended that patients with small tumors be excluded from adjuvant trials unless a subgroup with a poor prognosis is identified. "Our study indicated that patients with completely resected stage I disease, especially T2 N0 adenocarcinoma, will benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy with uracil-tegafur," the authors noted.
UTF has not been approved in the United States "and has been used in relatively few clinical trials in this country, despite widespread approval elsewhere," wrote Dr. Robert Diasio of the Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham in an accompanying editorial. But given the "compelling evidence" of its effectiveness among patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung in the study by Kato and colleagues, he argued, newer forms of this class of drugs, fluoropyrimidines, may prove to have an even greater effect on survival.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures fell Tuesday, extending their losses to a second-straight session, as some upbeat U.S. economic data, as well as a debt deal in Greece helped dull the precious metal's safe-haven appeal. A stronger U.S. dollar also weighed on the metal. Gold for December GCZ2, +0.00% delivery fell $7.30, or 0.4%, to settle at $1,742.30 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. December silver SIZ2, +0.00% settled at $33.98 an ounce, down 16 cents, or 0.5%.

Topic - What Climbing Book Do You Want Written?
Damo on 12 Mar 2013
So I was reading this interview with US marketing guru Seth Godin: http://www.roninmarketeer.com/2013/01/04/seth-godin-on-the-icarus-deception/#.UT8TWo7sIhU
He poses this interesting question with regard to writing a new book:
"What I was trying to do was maximize the connection. I set out to say, "Can I find 4,000 or 5,000 people who want to come with me on this journey so that I can go about—now this is key—making books for my readers instead of finding readers for my books?" So, once I knew that there were people like you and others who were waiting for me to make something for them, it changes the way you write, and it changes what you build."
I think it's an interesting idea that is suitable for a relatively small and niche segment of the publishing industry like climbing, particularly alpine climbing. Don't try to appeal to masses of anonymous strangers. Rather, find the people who like and trust your writing, and are interested in your usual subjects, will pay to read you, and ask them what they would like to read from you next. To some extent some of this has been done before by authors in other areas, but I don't think it has been done in such a small and focussed way, in this area, using this type of connection.
So, UKC, what book would you like to see written? And by whom?
My choices? Bio of Doug Scott, a history of climbing in the Khumbu, an english-language overview of Japanese Himalayan climbing in the 70s & 80s, a biography of Bill Tilman...
Note: I'm putting this in this particular forum because that's general subject matter I'm interested in reading about. It could apply to other forums - rock, gear, photography etc. But the kind of book I'm interested in reading will be about Expedition and/or Alpine climbing, more than those other things.
Note2: I know a lot of people have expressed interest in a Joe Brown autobiography, but apparently that is not going to happen.

Rated 3 out of 5 by GUNNER13 ROOM I WAS RATHER DISAPPOINTED WITH THE ROOM. NO MINI FRIDGE, NO MICROWAVE. MY HUSBAND HAD TO GO TO 5 FLOORS BEFORE HE FOUND A VENDING MACHINE THAT WOULD WORK. WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED FROM A SHERATON. November 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Manju Staff was Wonderful! We had a very terrific stay. Two staff members stood out.. Emma at the registration desk and Annibal at the guest services desk. If you want people to be green put more hooks and towel bars in bathroom September 24, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Anne91 Great Hotel but had gnats in room This hotel was great with the exception of the gnats. It took two of three night stay to get rid of them. Since we were gone all day and most of the night, we only had to deal with it for a few hours. September 2, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by RJM50 TV ruined the overall experience Bedroom TV would not work. In the grand scheme of life -not a big deal. But in a hotel room for 3 nights, it becomes a big deal. Other than this issue, a good experience. Kudos to Ron in the Club room. February 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jodi Great place to stay. People are friendly and helpful. For being an older hotel, the rooms have been renovated nicely. The beds were very comfy and rooms clean. We really enjoyed our stay. Location is great. Close to DART. March 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by harry8988 Not worth the money The room did not match up to my expectations considering the amount you pay. There wasnt any microwave or small refrigerator. Also, water wouldnt drain from the bath tub and leak from the wash basin. November 5, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by mikemonte Trip to Dallas Very nice and very convenient hotel. For business travel, I would recommend it. February 26, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jon62 Usual great Sheraton effort from a well used hotel The Sheraton Dallas Downtown is like many US hotels used by the business community. Well used, tired at the edges and in need of a bit of a refresh, but basically comfortable, clean and friendly. June 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by AEStay2013 Great stay Excellent stay, very comfortable and clean. However, I couldn't get my shower to get any hotter than a cool lukewarm. Shower unpleasant, but rest of the stay was excellent. Highly recommend! October 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SSNov2013 Worked for me I was concerned after reading some reviews, but other than one or two things, it was fine. I was on the side of the hotel with the DART train, but the sound did not bother me. December 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CobraKai Great Banquet Staff I attended a 4 day training session at The Sheraton Dallas and I will say that the Banquet staff and Culinary staff were exceptional! The food was great and the service was phenomenal. November 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by singphoto58 Perfect for a day long meeting I came in the night before and spent the night for a meeting the next day. The staff was friendly and helpful and I had a delightful stay. January 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by robertspgplat Outstanding Customer Service The customer service I received from check-in to check-out was outstanding! I am very impressed with the customer service I received - thank you so much for the best stay ever! December 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SSRR Staff was friendly, Facilities were ok The staff was nice. The ice machine on my floor did not work and was not fixed during my 4 day stay - I even called the first day to let the desk know. The room was hot at night - every night. August 6, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Neeps Nice place to stay The hotel was great. The cold shower was a huge dissatisfaction. Important that all levels of comfort are met when you stay in a upscale hotel. All 5 days I had cold water. That stuck with me. January 13, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by WR5280 Great location but a little rundown The location was great and very convenient, but the rooms were a bit older and not as clean as other SPG hotels. The staff was friendly, but I'll probably opt for the W next time I'm in town, April 17, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by customer23 Terrible Internet Link/reception staff lack of customer service Stayed recently with a conference group which was supposed to have free wifi connection in our agreement. On check in I mentioned I was with this group. On reviewing my bill in advance of check out, there were internet fees charged. I informed front desk staff that was not correct and that I was told on check in that the charges would be put on and "just taken off " at check out. On attempt to remove charges the evening before check out, I was given very poor customer service by reception staff(2 ladies working together?); they said they needed to "speak with manager" since I had upgraded my room so this didn't put me in the same group code as the other conference attendees.....RIDICULOUS!!! The 2 female reception staff tried to give me reasons why I shouldn't have the charges removed....that is customer service??? I said I didn't mind speaking with the manager but one told the other to "just take off the charges."

Rated 4 out of 5 by MR5825 very comfortable The hotel was very clean and neat. Price was reasonable. The staff was more than eager to please. The only downside, I thought it was ridiculous that they make you pay for internet service August 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Games Refrigerator needed Refrigerators should be in the rooms. While staying at a conference you need snacks, water or have leftovers from going out to dinner. There's no place in room to store these items. November 1, 2013

Rated 4 out of 5 by RC1997 A Great Get-A-Way After several months of taking care of everyone else, I decided to take a night off and book a one night stay in town. From the time I arrived to check out, I received excellent service. May 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Reggie This hotel provided wonderful service I would highly recommend anyone to stay at the Sheraton Hotel Downtown Dallas, TX. I received superior service and i requested extended checkout and my request was granted with pleasure. January 23, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Notahappycustomer Not worth it Completely unorganized... At first check in, there was still another occupants' luggage in my assigned room, no hot water, & when I attempted to set up a wake up call, nobody answered. February 14, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Grapehead Nice Hotel, Roms need attention Was a bit disappointed with our last stay. When we first got to our room, we noticed the bathtub was dirty. Hair was on the shower walls and the tub was dirty. There was even hair all over the bathroom floor. Not a very good first impression to not have your room "ready" when you first checked in. The room was small, but since we were there for business we didn't spend a whole lot of time in our room. Housekeeping needs to be improved. The second day of our stay, we were left no washcloths, and our old towels were not taken. On our third day when we returned to our room we noticed that the bed was made, but the bathroom was not touched. Our dirty towels were still there, although I give housekeeping staff credit, they did leave fresh towels. The staff at Draft was not prepared for such a large group of people on the Thursday afternoon we ate lunch there. Took forever to get our food, hence, we were late for an afternoon appointment. The one positive thing with our stay was the check in process. The front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming. Not sure if I would stay here again, but I wouldn't totally rule it out. December 16, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by AndyS Not great at all Each of the last 12 weeks I've stayed at this hotel it's been getting worse. And it wasn't good to begin with. This last week there were fruit flies in my room and dirty sheets... October 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chuck54 Great stay! Outstanding stay! Only one "below expectation:" It would have been nicer if the itemized bill was delivered to the room for my review before I checked out. Everything else was great! August 7, 2012

Works well with Eotech 512 and all red dots.
It's OK for the money. Certainly not a high end unit. There is virtually NO customer service from the manufacture MAKO. They don't answer the phone and don't return calls.
Great when combined with Strikefire Vortex sold here at SGO, or Eotech. You may have to remove rear BUIS to fit. Works easiest if optic is in Scout position or on top front rail. Equivalent of name brands for 1/4 the cost. SFC D.M. USAR Drill Sergeant School, Ft. Jackson, SC
What a buy....
Very pleased with the product , and at a good price as well .
nice product and good quality...would buy again.

If the human brain is an advanced computer why are people so bad at math?
We seem to be able to do all sorts of complicated computations in our everyday lives.
For example most young children can predict the pat of a moving ball and move to catch it. The same children often seem to have difficulty with quite simple math problems.
Even educated adults have problems with any kind of complex math. For example I guess most of us would be unable to calculate the path of a moving ball in a short time, let alone calculate the path we would need to move to catch a a ball while it is in the air.
When it comes to understanding statistics it seems that even trained scientists sometime have trouble with them.
Closing Statement from Seamus McGrenery
While the computer analogy has some value in giving us an understanding of how our brains work it also has limits. It seems to be difficult to program humans for certain types of task, possibly because our brains work significantly differently to binary computation.
In much of what we see and here about our minds there seems to be a diminishing of the body and how much our brains serve our bodies. So much of our mental function is devoted to maintaining our bodies environmental stability, fluid and nutrition requirements as well as finding a mate and protecting our offspring. The things we are good at show us the importance of these functions, but because they are so 'basic' we tend to take them for granted.
Two interesting points in relation to the average persons math ability are highlighted in the debate.
Programming is the first.
If we accept that, at least in part, our brains work like a computer then we have to accept that, again at least in part, it is programmable. While there is a suggestion that, potentially, a human brain could operate as a supercomputer, in terms of math, we do not seem to have learned how. So the positive from this is that we may learn to unlock a great deal more of our mental potential.
More problematic is how, and by who, are we programmed. There seems to be some agreement that learning is somehow akin to programming. My own view is that we have active filters on the information we receive and that these filters present the highest barriers to any information that could be interpreted programmatic.
Even that does not seem to explain the difficult humans have in learning and practicing certain types of mathematical operations.
Second is type of computation
Implicit in some of this debate is the assumption that our brains do not work by binary arithmetic. Discovering the type of computation we use may give us a clearer understanding of our limitations, and maybe a way to unlock some of that extra potential.

Apr 2 2013: Because computers are machines programmed to perform mathematics. People are conscious beings. They experience and build their understanding of the world through their experience. Computers simply move bytes around mechanically and let functions fall into place.
When you send 4 + 4 into a computer, the computer doesn't think about the answer. Rather the functions pass the information the way they were designed to and process it. It can and will never tell you 9. It has no mind and it doesn't learn. At best it programs itself, and only if designed to.
Apr 2 2013: Well I guess you are saying that a human mind is not like a computer. Or is it that describing the human mind as a computer might explain some basic abilities of the mind it does not capture some important qualities.
Of course we could program a computer so that sometimes it will give the answer 9 to the question 4 + 4. For example we could ask the computer to add 4 x math random above 0.9 to 4 x math random above 0.9 and round the answer to a whole number. The question is why would we?
Or to put it another way what is the value to us of having a mind that can produce the answer 9 when asked 4 + 4?

text: On January 17th, 2010, members of the Iona College Women's Basketball team went to The Wartburg Adult Care Community to spend some time with the residents. Once the team introduced themselves they settled right into conversation with many of The Wartburg's residents. The residents shared stories with the team, including their own athletic experiences and family upbringing. As everyone got to know each other, a few of the players performed a few songs, some dancing and "stepping" for the entire Wartburg community. The players and residents really enjoyed their time together and everyone in attendance is looking forward to another visit at The Wartburg in the near future.

Palin's gibberish, pure and simple
From my belly dancing friend:
Subject: Ok, now Sara Palin is really scaring me!
I never thought we would ever see a politician as dumb as GW Bush
gain power again, but Sara Palin's latest interview with CBS's Katie
Couric proved she is now the turkey to Dan's Quayle. Her star has
pretty much faded. It is turning into a Black Hole. She is not what
she is made out to be, nor is she what she appears to be. In fact,
she is just a curvaceous hood ornament. Please! This is not the time
for an Airhead Barbie to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.
FROM Newsweek:
When Couric questioned her in her trademark sympathetic style. It
didn't help. When asked how living in the state closest to Russia
gave her foreign-policy experience, Palin responded thus:
"It's very important when you consider even national-security issues
with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of
the United States of America. Where It's just right over the border. It is
from Alaska that we send those
out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful
nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to<
to our state."
There is, of course, the sheer absurdity of the premise. Two weeks
ago I flew to Tokyo, crossing over the North Pole. Does that make me
an expert on Santa Claus? (Thanks, Jon Stewart.) But even beyond
that, read the rest of her response. "It is from Alaska that we send
out those S" What does this mean? This is not an isolated example.
Palin has been given a set of talking points by campaign advisers,
simple ideological mantras that she repeats and repeats as long as
she can. ("We mustn't blink.") But if forced off those rehearsed
lines, what she has to say is often, quite frankly, gibberish.
Couric asked her a smart question about the proposed $700 billion
bailout of the American financial sector. Here's the entire exchange:
COURIC: Why isn't it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion
helping middle-class families who are struggling with health care,
housing, gas and groceries; allow them to spend more and put more
money into the economy instead of helping these big financial
institutions that played a role in creating this mess?
PALIN: That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with,
were ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the
taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does
is help those who are concerned about the health-care reform that is
needed to help shore up our economy, helping the about job creation, too,
shoring up our economy and putting it back
on the right track. So health-care reform and reducing taxes and
reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax
relief for Americans. And trade, we've got to see trade as
opportunity, not as a competitive, scary thing. But one in five jobs
being created in the trade sector today, we've got to look at that as
more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job
creation. This bailout is a part of that.

There are fewer than three months until the election, an election that will decide the next President of the United States. The person elected will be the president of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans.
To show our solidarity as Americans, let's all get together and show each other our support for the candidate of our choice. It's time that we come together, Democrats and Republicans alike.

Smile Train
Phoenix received these photos in the mail of a little boy named Manoj in Davanghe, India. When I inquired about them he told me he sponsored an operation to fix a cleft palate through a charity called The Smile Train. According to their website, "Clefts are a major problem in developing countries where there are millions of children who are suffering with unrepaired clefts. Most cannot eat or speak properly. Aren't allowed to attend school or hold a job, and face very difficult lives filled with shame and isolation, pain and heartache."

Dragonflies at the Starting Gate
At this time in history when we are facing our evolutionary final exam (PeterRussell.com), what can I say?
Rather than being depressed about the national debt increasing by $700 billion, we can look at this doom-filled reality as the death of comsumerism and the birth of…what? Self sustainability? Consicous community? Private lending banks?
At this point we can only guess where this Greatest Depression will lead us and hope that something positive will emerge.
In the meantime, we still have internet, energy and the pretense that everything is fine. Let's enjoy it!Uncategorized | Tags: Add new tag | Comment (0)
