NORWOOD – By definition, a maverick stands apart from the rest.
This characterization couldn't be more fitting for Norwood High School Mavericks Lindsey Stindt, Ty Williams and Mollie Lane, who will travel to the State Track and Field Meet this week in Lakewood to uphold their top rankings against the best 2A athletes in Colorado.
Stindt currently holds the best time in the state among 2A hurdlers in the 300 meters and no other competitor has found a way to catch her this season. Her time of 46.60 is more than a second faster than her closest competition's best attempt.
Williams also stands far beyond the rest of his competition at the top of the field in the 3200-meter run, where his time of 9:46:45 is nearly five seconds faster than the No. 2 seed in this event.
With times that fast, both of these athletes easily pre-qualified for the 2010 State Track and Field Meet, which starts today and runs through Saturday at the Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood. Having maintained such tight grasps on the No. 1 spots in their respective events all season long, it would seem as though these two Norwood-bred athletes would be veritable shoo-ins for State Champion titles. But coach Keith Williams isn't anticipating particularly easy sailing for Stindt or Williams as these two No. 1-ranked Mavericks compete for the ultimate prize this week.
"They come out of the woodwork at State,"Coach Williams says of the level of competition these athletes are likely to face as they step up to the starting lines this weekend. "They're going to have to run their best races" to take home State titles, he says.
Although Stindt and Williams both have good shots at taking home gold medals in the 300-meter hurdles and 3200-meter run, respectively, both could also shine in other events at State as well. Williams will also race in the 1600-meter run, an event in which he is seeded third. Stindt will compete in the 100-meter hurdles also, an event in which she holds the second fastest time in the state.
Also competing on the Norwood Track and Field State Meet roster is Mollie Lane, one of Colorado's best discus throwers. Her current record of 121.11 feet has been bested by only one other 2A thrower in the State: Eads High School's Lorie Weirich.
Coach Williams says Lane's consistency could be her greatest asset over Weirich at the coming State meet.
"The way that Mollie throws, every throw is going to be in there. If Mollie can put the pressure on early, it could be all hers," Williams says.
Williams anticipates a good showing from his Mavericks this weekend, but he's hoping they'll go for greatness.
"We've got three kids who will definitely bring home medals, but we're hoping they'll be gold," he says.
The NHS Track and Field team left for Denver yesterday, and will compete in events beginning today.
Telluride Track and Field Sends Their Best to Denver
Miner athletes Emy Ludwig, Rachel Hampton and Lobo James will represent Telluride at the State Track and Field Meet this weekend as well.
Running the 3200-meters in her personal record time of 12:15.93 pre-qualified Hampton for State; currently, this THS freshman is ranked seventh in Colorado in this event. THS sophomore Ludwig will race in both the 100-meter and the 300-meter hurdles this weekend as well.
James' record high jump height of 5.10 ties him for third in the State, and won him a spot on the State Championships' heat sheet in the high jump event.
With Regional Meet Win, Ouray Triple-Jumper Sackman Wins State Meet Berth
Ouray High School track and field member Kaleb Sackman had been reaching for the pre-qualifying mark of 41' 10" in the triple jump all season long, but ended up missing it by a mere 0.75". Yet Sackman still won a State Meet berth thanks to his stellar performance at last weekend's Regional Meet at Grand Junction's Stocker Stadium.
Sackman launched a jump of 41'09.25", beating his own personal record of 41'04" and taking the Regional Champ title in the process. Since each region takes its top three competitors to State, Sackman also won a spot at the State Meet.
"By sticking with it and negotiating his way through an untimely injury, he executed the one jump he needed to move on," says OHS Track and Field coach Bernie Pearce of Sackman's Regionals performance last weekend.
Sackman is currently ranked fourth in the triple jump in the state.

The main function of the RT-Nagios gateway is to transform specific alerts from Nagios into a Help Desk ticket in Request Tracker to help your compliance efforts for incident responses (and other items) under ISO27001, SOX, and others. This provides better reporting, resource management, and more. Nagios configuration determines which incidents will generate tickets in RT. The URL of the ticket is inserted into the comment field of the corresponding Nagios service. The interface is bi-directional: when a user is "taking" charge of the ticket in RT, an acknowledgement for that service is sent to Nagios, stopping the alerts. Multiple alerts from a specific incident are "merged" within the original ticket.

It was a sold-out event Friday evening as the Jefferson County Humane Society hosted its second-annual St. Paddy's weekend "Dueling Pianos Party" at St. Florian Hall in Wintersville.
And that made Sally Wehr a very happy president of the nonprofit organization whose mission it is to prevent animal cruelty, assist needy animals and advocate on their behalf.
A crowd estimated at 500 turned out to be entertained by "Smokin" George Winters and Matt Safranek in a show that's billed as "an interactive, request-driven voyage of sing-along and comedy" with music from numerous decades performed via audience request and with audience participation.

"We're doing this again because it was so successful last year, and we raised quite a bit of money, and we were able to buy equipment and completely outfit the medical rooms that we can do surgeries in-house at the shelter and do spays and neuters," Wehr said.
"It's just fantastic that people come out and support us," Wehr said. "People do enjoy it - the show is fantastic. I think it's fun."
Wehr explained that the humane society relies almost exclusively on donations and volunteers. Anyone who would like to volunteer, can contact the shelter at (740) 264-6888.
"We really appreciate the support of everyone who came out tonight," Wehr said of the event attendance.
A project at hand for the humane society is work on a policy and procedures manual for the shelter. "We're excited about that," Wehr said.
In addition to Wehr, other officers are Kathy Gagin, vice president; Debbie Welsch, secretary; and Helen Fox, treasurer.
Donations to the humane society are always welcomed and appreciated, according to Wehr. Checks can be made payable to the Jefferson County Humane Society and sent to P. O. Box 233, Steubenville, OH 43952.

If it's "Pseudokarst," is it "Pseudo Spelunking"?
It's amazing how long it can take to scratch a particular itch. The Anza Borrego mud caves came onto my proverbial radar screen about a decade ago while reading a hiking and exploring Web page.
The planned trip was put on the backburner for many reasons, but one was that the mud caves are in a corner of the Anza Borrego Desert State Park that I don't often visit. It takes longer to get to and it's more remote once you show up. Other destinations were easier propositions.
The mud caves' number came up last winter when my brother Joel and his wife Emily came down for the holidays. They were living in Utah at the time and were glad to escape winter's icy grip, if only temporarily. What better way to have an adventure than to go some places that are new to everybody?
As usual, the 4Runner was well-stocked with tools and gear. We were prepared to fly solo, but we didn't have to. Jaime Hernandez in his 80- series Land Cruiser and Josh Burns in his new-to-him TJ Wrangler completed our vehicular trio.
Anza Borrego's mud caves are in an area of the park called the Carrizo Badlands, which are home to slot canyons, deep gorges, and two well-known one-way drop-offs. The area is well-mapped and trail signs are numerous. Still, it's a place that can spell trouble if you show up sans map and common sense.

The Tyanna Foundation honors a mother's life, love, and living legacy. Tyanna Barre O'Brien lost her battle with breast cancer in 1990 at the tender age of 48. Her legacy continues today through the work of her daughters Anne, Bridget, Megan, Sara & Kate O'Brien, the founders of BreastFest. It is our commitment to awareness and prevention that inspires and leads the work of the Tyanna Foundation.
Since it's inception in 1999 in Athens, GA., the Tyanna Foundation has worked tirelessly increasing awareness and generating money for breast cancer research, services, education, treatment and patient care for local breast cancer patients and survivors. We are expanding our reach, and have raised over $1,000,000 to help local organizations in Southern New Jersey, Baltimore, Maryland, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to treat and care for breast cancer patients.
All of the funds raised in each city benefit a local breast center or breast health organization.

Adolescent Treatment Program
Working to help youth and families overcome the painful effects of drug abuse, Humboldt County Dual Recovery Programs offers Adolescent Treatment for youth age 12 - 17 with substance abuse problems.
If you are a teen, and suspect you have a problem with drugs, or if you are a parent, professional, or someone who cares about a teen age 12 to 17 with substance use-related problems, and you are not sure what to do, we can help.
Substance Abuse Evaluation:
An Addiction Specialist meets with clients individually, in a comfortable, confidential setting. The specialist determines the extent of the substance abuse problem, and makes appropriate referrals.
We truly care about kids, and want them to succeed. Our treatment programs are designed with their success in mind.
Outpatient Treatment
groups meet two days per week, from 3:00 to 4:30pm. These are peer recovery support groups, with a strong emphasis on developing recovery maintenance skills. Participation is planned for a minimum of 13 weeks.
Intensive Outpatient Treatment
groups meet four days per week, from 3:00 to 4:30pm, after the regular school day. Participation is planned for a minimum of 13 weeks.
In these groups clients receive education on substance abuse, the major causes of use and relapse, and the adverse effects of drug use on adolescent development. We introduce relapse prevention tools that are geared toward the adolescent specifically. We explore the difficulties of dealing with negative peer pressure, and most importantly teens receive the support and encouragement to stay clean.
Our treatment program uses drug testing as a therapeutic tool.
Parent Support Groups:
Statistics show that the #1 contributing factor to the successful long-term recovery for adolescents is family involvement. Often family members are unsure of how to best support the recovery process. We offer parent/family support and education groups that meet in the evenings as part of the program.
Collaborative Case Management:
We believe that working closely with families, therapists and probation officers is important to successful treatment. Collaborative efforts are of extreme benefit. We work to assist clients in becoming involved in a positive and supportive community.
If you need help, please contact us... We want to hear from you.

Strong research focus
Excellent team, great open culture due to flat hierarchy

I have been working at Investance
Pros – Access to senior management is pretty straightforward and they will be listening to what you have to say.
Night-out once a month, yearly team-building event.
Business initiatives are supported once they are demonstrated to be successful.
Consultants are free to choose the assignments they see fit.
Cons – Some senior managers don't present the required competencies to run the departments they're heading.
Badly paid for the cash that's being generated.
Poor communication with the sellers on the assignments being prospected, the clients being met. Very secretive on this aspect.
Advice to Senior Management – Improve the relationship between the sales and the consultants, there isn't any feedback and communication on what's going on with the accounts.
The client interviews need to be prepared from a more personal perspective too: the seller should always be aware of the client's requirements and inform the consultant on them.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

"Survivor" is a game that can be physically taxing and psychologically ruthless.

But no matter what remote part of the world the "Survivor" castaways are stranded in, no matter how many players try to backstab and sabotage them, they can always count on their moms to have their backs.
"When it comes time they start deciding who they're going to vote off and they start talking negative about him, I know I'm going to be very uncomfortable," said Susan Snow of Cumberland, whose son Michael is competing on CBS' "Survivor: Caramoan – Fans vs. Favorites."
Michael Snow, 44, is a graduate of Greely High School and the University of Maine, and now lives in New York. He tried out for the show several times before landing a spot on "Survivor: Caramoan."
On the show, which airs at 8 p.m. Wednesdays, 20 contestants divided into two "tribes" are abandoned on separate beaches in the tropical Caramoan Islands in the Philippines.
In each week's episode, the teams come together to compete in physical challenges, hoping to win immunity before the next tribal council so they won't be voted off and sent home.
Snow is an event planner who has lived in Atlanta, Chicago and New York, and comes to Maine often to visit his parents, brother and two sisters and their families.
His island odyssey actually happened last year, but he can't reveal yet whether he was the "sole Survivor," the last player standing, who wins the $1 million prize.
In an email written from New York, Snow said the experience "was everything I'd hoped. I was looking for a challenge and an adventure boy, did I find them."
Rats jumped on Snow at night while he was sleeping on the beach, and he was constantly afraid of seeing snakes. Those are probably the only two things he didn't prepare for in advance.
"I thought long and hard about how I wanted to approach the game, how I would play and what my strategy would be once I hit the beach," Snow said. "Physically, I'm a runner, so I kept that up, but added some swimming and yoga. I did puzzles and practiced making fire when I was back in Maine and in my sink in NYC don't tell my super."
This season pits "Survivor" fans against some favorite past players, including John Cochran, "the nerd," and Phillip Sheppard, the "crazy" one who wears pink underwear. Snow said he wasn't starstruck. He's had favorite players over the years, "but none of them jumped out of the helicopters and became my opponent."
Although Mainer Bob Crowley won "Survivor" in 2008, when he was 57, it's mostly a young person's game. Many of the contestants are in their 20s and 30s. Snow, who was the oldest member of the Gota tribe, said that while he worried about that before the game started, age turned out not to be a big factor.
That doesn't mean it wasn't difficult to "outwit, outplay, outlast," as the show's motto goes. Snow said the game turned out to be as hard as he expected, "and there were parts that were harder," he said. "I'll leave it at that."
Snow describes himself on the CBS website as "determined, enthusiastic and witty."
Susan Snow dittoed the "determined" part, and said it's why she and Michael's father, Lew, think their son will do well on the show.
"When he sets a goal, he goes for it, works hard toward it," she said. "He's very personable. In school, he worked real hard. And when he's made up his mind he's going to do something, he does it, and he does it right."

The CyberKnife is a frameless robotic radiosurgery system used for treating benign tumors, malignant tumors and other medical conditions.[1][2] The system was invented by John R. Adler, a Stanford University Professor of Neurosurgery and Radiation Oncology, and Peter and Russell Schonberg of Schonberg Research Corporation. It is made by the Accuray company headquarterd in Sunnyvale, California.
The CyberKnife system is a method of delivering radiotherapy, with the intention of targeting treatment more accurately than standard radiotherapy.[3] The two main elements of the CyberKnife are (1) the radiation produced from a small linear particle accelerator and (2) a robotic arm which allows the energy to be directed at any part of the body from any direction.

Main features[edit]
Several generations of the CyberKnife system have been developed since its initial inception in 1990. There are two major features of the CyberKnife system that are different from other stereotactic therapy methods.
Robotic mounting[edit]
The first is that the radiation source is mounted on a general purpose industrial robot. The original CyberKnife used a Japanese Fanuc robot,[4] however the more modern systems use a German KUKA KR 240.[5] Mounted on the Robot is a compact X-band linac that produces 6MV X-ray radiation. The linac is capable of delivering approximately 600 cGy of radiation each minute - a new 800 cGy / minute model was announced at ASTRO[6][7] 2007. The radiation is collimated using fixed tungsten collimators (also referred to as "cones") which produce circular radiation fields. At present the radiation field sizes are: 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50 and 60 mm. ASTRO 2007 also saw the launch of the IRIS[7] variable-aperture collimator which uses two offset banks of six prismatic tungsten segments to form a blurred regular dodecagon field of variable size which eliminates the need for changing the fixed collimators. Mounting the radiation source on the robot allows near-complete freedom to position the source within a space about the patient. The robotic mounting allows very fast repositioning of the source, which enables the system to deliver radiation from many different directions without the need to move both the patient and source as required by current gantry configurations.
Image guidance[edit]
The CyberKnife system uses an image guidance system. X-ray imaging cameras are located on supports around the patient allowing instantaneous X-ray images to be obtained.
6D skull[edit]
The original (and still utilized) method is called 6D or skull based tracking. The X-ray camera images are compared to a library of computer generated images of the patient anatomy. Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs (or DRR's) and a computer algorithm determines what motion corrections have to be given to the robot because of patient movement. This imaging system allows the CyberKnife to deliver radiation with an accuracy of 0.5mm without using mechanical clamps attached to the patient's skull.[8] The use of the image-guided technique is referred to as frameless stereotactic radiosurgery. This method is referred to as 6D because corrections are made for the 3 translational motions (X,Y and Z) and three rotational motions. It should be noted that it is necessary to use some anatomical or artificial feature to orient the robot to deliver X-ray radiation, since the tumor is never sufficiently well defined (if visible at all) on the X-ray camera images.
Additional image guidance methods are available for spinal tumors and for tumors located in the lung. For a tumor located in the spine, a variant of the image guidance called Xsight-Spine[9] is used. The major difference here is that instead of taking images of the skull, images of the spinal processes are used. Whereas the skull is effectively rigid and non-deforming, the spinal vertebrae can move relative to each other, this means that image warping algorithms must be used to correct for the distortion of the X-ray camera images.
A recent enhancement to Xsight is Xsight-Lung[10] which allows tracking of some lung tumors without the need to implant fiducial markers.
For soft tissue tumors, a method known as fiducial tracking can be utilized.[11] Small metal markers (fiducials) made out of gold for bio-compatibility and high density to give good contrast on X-ray images are surgically implanted in the patient. This is carried out by an interventional radiologist, or neurosurgeon. The placement of the fiducials is a critical step if the fiducial tracking is to be used. If the fiducials are too far from the location of the tumor, or are not sufficiently spread out from each other it will not be possible to accurately deliver the radiation. Once these markers have been placed, they are located on a CT scan and the image guidance system is programmed with their position. When X-ray camera images are taken, the location of the tumor relative to the fiducials is determined, and the radiation can be delivered to any part of the body. Thus the fiducial tracking does not require any bony anatomy to position the radiation. Fiducials are known however to migrate and this can limit the accuracy of the treatment if sufficient time is not allowed between implantation and treatment for the fiducials to stabilize.[12][13]
The final technology of image guidance that the CyberKnife system can use is called the Synchrony system. The Synchrony system is utilized primarily for tumors that are in motion while being treated, such as lung tumors and pancreatic tumors.[14]
The synchrony system uses a combination of surgically placed internal fiducials, and light emitting optical fibers (markers) mounted on the patient skin. Since the tumor is moving continuously, to continuously image its location using X-ray cameras would require prohibitive amounts of radiation to be delivered to the patients skin. The Synchrony system overcomes this by periodically taking images of the internal fiducials, and predicting their location at a future time using the motion of the markers that are located on the patient's skin. The light from the markers can be tracked continuously using a CCD camera, and are placed so that their motion is correlated with the motion of the tumor.
A computer algorithm creates a correlation model that represents how the internal fiducial markers are moving compared to the external markers. The Synchrony system is therefore continuously predicting the motion of the internal fiducials, and therefore the tumor, based on the motion of the markers. The correlation model can be updated at any time if the patient breathing becomes in any way irregular. The advantage of the Synchrony system is that no assumptions about the regularity or reproducibility of the patient breathing have to be made.
To function properly, the Synchrony system requires that for any given correlation model there is a functional relationship between the markers and the internal fiducials. The external marker placement is also important, and the markers are usually placed on the patient abdomen so that their motion will reflect the internal motion of the diaphragm and the lungs.
A new robotic six degree of freedom patient treatment couch called RoboCouch[15] has been added to the CyberKnife which provides the capability for significantly improving patient positioning options for treatment.
The frameless nature of the CyberKnife also increases the clinical efficiency. In conventional frame-based radiosurgery, the accuracy of treatment delivery is determined solely by connecting a rigid frame to the patient which is anchored to the patient's skull with invasive aluminum or titanium screws. The CyberKnife is the only radiosurgery device that does not require such a frame for precise targeting.[16] Once the frame is connected, the relative position of the patient anatomy must be determined by making a CT or MRI scan. After the CT or MRI scan has been made, a radiation oncologist must plan the delivery of the radiation using a dedicated computer program, after which the treatment can be delivered, and the frame removed. The use of the frame therefore requires a linear sequence of events that must be carried out sequentially before another patient can be treated. Staged CyberKnife radiosurgery is of particular benefit to patients who have previously received large doses of conventional radiation therapy and patients with gliomas located near critical areas of the brain. Unlike whole brain radiotherapy, which must be administered daily over several weeks, radiosurgery treatment can usually be completed in 1-5 treatment sessions. Radiosurgery can be used alone to treat brain metastases, or in conjunction with surgery or whole brain radiotherapy, depending on the specific clinical circumstances.[17]
By comparison, using a frameless system, a CT scan can be carried out on any day prior to treatment that is convenient. The treatment planning can also be carried out at any time prior to treatment. During the treatment the patient need only be positioned on a treatment table and the predetermined plan delivered. This allows the clinical staff to plan many patients at the same time, devoting as much time as is necessary for complicated cases without slowing down the treatment delivery. While a patient is being treated, another clinician can be considering treatment options and plans, and another can be conducting CT scans.
In addition, very young patients (pediatric cases) or patients with fragile heads because of prior brain surgery cannot be treated using a frame based system.[18] Also, by being frameless the CyberKnife can efficiently re-treat the same patient without repeating the preparation steps that a frame-based system would require.
The delivery of a radiation treatment over several days or even weeks (referred to as fractionation) can also be beneficial from a therapeutic point of view. Tumor cells typically have poor repair mechanisms compared to healthy tissue, so by dividing the radiation dose into fractions the healthy tissue has time to repair itself between treatments.[19] This can allow a larger dose to be delivered to the tumor compared to a single treatment.[20]
Comparison with other stereotactic systems[edit]
Gamma Knife[edit]
One of the most widely known stereotactic radiosurgery systems is the Gamma Knife. The Gamma Knife was originally developed by Lars Leksell, remains the gold standard method for delivery of stereotactic radiosurgery to the brain, and is manufactured by Elekta. John Adler, the inventor of the CyberKnife system spent time training with Lars Leksell in Stockholm at the Karolinska Institute in 1985. The GammaKnife system typically uses 201 Cobalt-60 sources located in a ring around a central treatment point ("isocenter"). The Gamma Knife system is equipped with a series of 4 collimators of 4mm, 8mm, 14mm and 18mm diameter, and is capable of submillimeter accuracies. The Gamma Knife system does however require a head frame to be bolted onto the skull of the patient, and is only capable of treating cranial lesions. As a result of frame placement, treatment with Gamma Knife does not require real time imaging capability as the frame does not allow movement during treatment. Operators of the Gamma Knife system have argued that it is likely to be more accurate than CyberKnife for these reasons.[21] The Cyberknife Society and Accuray maintain that there are no peer-reviewed published papers that establish Gamma Knife as being more accurate than CyberKnife.[22][23]
Another popular stereotactic system is the Novalis produced by Brainlab.[24] The Novalis radiosurgery system utilizes a small computer-controlled micro Multi Leaf Collimator (mMLC) that can produce many complicated shapes. The maximum radiation field size that the Novalis can produce is 98 mm x 98 mm and the minimum is 3 mm x 3 mm, allowing a considerable range of tumors to be treated. The Novalis system also has X-ray imaging using amorphous silicon flat panel X-ray detectors. A 2D/3D image fusion of the patient setup X-rays with digitally reconstructed radiographs from a planning CT scan quickly determines a correction vector for the patient's position. Infrared fiducial markers attached to the patient then allow precise tracking of the correction vector's application to the patient's position via an infrared camera, and a couch that can move in all six dimensions enables the precise positioning of the patient. Patient immobilization can also be performed framelessly with ExacTrac Patient Positioning,[25] which uses high-resolution stereoscopic X-Ray images to detect and visualize the patient's internal anatomy before or during treatment.[26] Novalis has become a leading player in the world of neurosurgery.[27]
Conventional linac[edit]
Conventional X-ray therapy linear accelerators can be utilized for radiosurgery, either by the use of additional blocking cones or by a removable or built in micro MLC system. Examples of removable micro MLC units are the Ergo from 3D line,[28] the mMLC manufactured by Brainlab,[29] and the AccuKnife produced by Direx.,[30] or the Novalis TX
Clinical uses[edit]
Since August 2001, the CyberKnife system has FDA clearance for treatment of tumors in any location of the body.[31] Some of the tumors treated include: pancreas,[32][33] liver,[34] prostate,[35][36] spinal lesions,[37] head and neck cancers,[38] and benign tumors.[39]
None of these studies have shown any general survival benefit over conventional treatment methods. By increasing the accuracy with which treatment is delivered there is a potential for dose escalation, and potentially a subsequent increase in effectiveness, particularly in local control rates. However the studies cited are so far limited in scope, and more extensive research will need to be completed in order to show any effects on survival.[33]
In 2008 actor Patrick Swayze was among the people to be treated with CyberKnife radiosurgery.[40]
Worldwide locations[edit]
CyberKnife systems have been installed in over 150 locations worldwide,[41] including 100 hospitals in the United States.[42]
Stanford University has treated over 2,500 patients using the Cyberknife system, and worldwide over 40,000 patients have been treated.[43][44]
The Freemasons in London, UK, have paid for a CyberKnife to be placed in Barts Hospital, and it is available to all on the National Health Service. The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham have recently bought a CyberKnife, the first NHS hospital outside of London to acquire one. The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust has a CyberKnife at their Chelsea, London site.
Overlook Hospital in Summit, New Jersey was the first hospital in the New York metro area to offer the CyberKnife Stereotactic Radiosurgery System. Today, Overlook has performed the second most treatments of prostate cancer with the CyberKnife in the world.[45]
Recently - Nov 2013 - CyberKnife VSI has been installed in Hermitage Medical Clinic, Dunlin Ireland
There is a CyberKnife machine in Hong Kong Adventist Hospital (private service and expensive price) in Hong Kong.
The first next generation CyberKnife VSI in Asia at BLK CyberKnife in New Delhi India.
SRS Cyberknife is also available in Pakistan at Jinnah Post-Graduate Medical Centre Karachi, the only place where it is offered free of cost.
In January 2013, the first patients were treated with the new generation CyberKnife M6 in Munich, Germany, at the European CyberKnife Center Munich.

Riyad as-Salihin (The Meadows of the Righteous)
by Imam Nawawi
77. Chapter: On anger when the sacred things of the Shari'a are violated and helping the deen of Allah Almighty
Allah says, "If someone honours Allah's the sacred rites, that is better for him in his Lord's sight," (22:30)
and the Almighty says, "If you help Allah, He will help you and make your feet firm." (W47:8; H47:7)
649. Abu Mas'ud 'Uqba ibn 'Amr al-Badri said, "A man came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'By Allah, Messenger of Allah, the only reason I do not attend the morning prayer is because so-and-so makes the prayer too long for us.' I have never seen the Messenger of Allah more angry in giving admonition than he was that day. He said, 'Some of you make things difficult for people. Any of you who of you lead people in prayer should make it short. Among you there are those who are weak, old and have things they must do.'" [Agreed upon]
650. 'A'isha said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came from a journey and I had screened off a shelf of mine with a curtain which had some figures on it. When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw it, he ripped it down and his face changed colour. He said, ''A'isha, the people with the worst punishment with Allah on the Day of Rising will be those who make things like Allah's creation.'" [Agreed upon]
651. 'A'isha reported that Quraysh were concerned with the case of a Makhzumi woman who had stolen something and they said, "Who will speak to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, about her?" They said, "Who is bold enough to do it except Usama ibn Zayd, the beloved of the Messenger of Allah?" Usama spoke to him and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "How can you intercede when it is a case of one of the legal punishments of Allah Almighty?" Then he stood up and spoke and said, "Those before you were destroyed because when a noble among them stole, they let him be, but when the weak among them stole, they carried out the legal punishment on them. By Allah, if Fatima the daughter of Muhammad were to steal, I would cut off her hand." [Agreed upon]
652. Anas reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw some phlegm in the qibla. It was so offensive to him that it could be seen in his face. He got up and scraped it off with his hand. He said, "When anyone does the prayer, he is speaking to his Lord and his Lord Allah is between him and the qibla. None of you should spit towards qibla, but rather to his left or under his food." Then he took the end of his cloak and spat into it and then folded it up and said, "Or he should do this." [Agreed upon]
The command to spit to his left or under his foot refers to outside the mosque. In the mosque, you should only spit into your garment.

text: Caltrans will activate ramp meters (stop and go lights) on the Blue Oaks ramp to Highway 65 beginning July 8th. According to Caltrans, the ramp metering is necessary to relieve congestion on Highway 65 and to allow for safe merging from the on-ramp to the highway. For the first week, the ramp meter will be remain green at all times. Beginning on July 15th, the stop and go metering will operate from 6 a.m to 9 a.m. and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. California Highway Patrol will likely be in the vicinity of the ramp to enforce the new meters. Ramp metering throughout all of California is owned and operated by Caltrans. The signalized intersection of Blue Oaks Blvd. and Washington Blvd. is also under Caltrans' jurisdiction.A traffic study was completed to set the metering rate, which is expected to be similar to other meters within Roseville. For the first 2 to 3 days, Caltrans will have staff on site to monitor and adjust the ramp metering to ensure optimal operation. The right turn from Blue Oaks Blvd. onto southbound Washington Blvd. will not be affected. For more information regarding this particular ramp meter or any ramp metering in California, contact Deanna Shoopman - Caltrans Public Information Officer at 530-741-4572.

Chicks are average, men are circus side-show quality. Hope they paid the women well. This movie was just didn't do it for me. looking for something a little more believable.

Yehonatan Geffen, poet SPECIAL GUEST
Steve Earle SPECIAL GUEST
David Broza "Carolina" from Night Dawn: The Unpublished Poetry of Townes Van Zandt, live in Tel Aviv, 2010 (in English).
David Broza and Yehonatan (Jonathan) Geffen perform together at Broza's first sunrise concert at Masada, 1993 (in Hebrew).
Steve Earle sings the title song from his April 2013 release, Low Highway, at SirusXM performance theater.
(Click the names below to expand info.)
Israeli superstar David Broza has been performing at 92nd Street Y every December 24 since 2001. This year he arrives with a new CD, East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem. The CD was made in the Palestinian East Jerusalem studio of the band Sabreen, led by Said Murad, with whom David had worked for many years.
The disc has 13 songs, mixing a daring selection of covers by artists like Steve Earle, Cat Stevens, Pink Floyd and Elvis Costello with original Broza songs; it marks the first time Broza has written songs in English. The performers include American musicians and Grammy Award winners Steve Earle, Steve Greenberg and Wyclef Jean, Israeli musicians Gadi Seri and Yossi Sassi, Palestinian hip-hop duo G-Town and Arab/Israeli singer Mira Awad. The album has been produced by Mr. Earle and Mr. Greenberg, and is being released on Mr. Greenberg's S-Curve label.
David Broza is considered one of the most dynamic and vibrant performers in the world. His charismatic and energetic performances bring a fusion of the three different countries in which he was raised: Israel, Spain and England. He has filled concert halls with his famous guitar playing that ranges from flamenco-flavored rhythmic and percussion techniques to whirlwind finger picking to a signature rock and roll sound.
More than a singer/songwriter, Mr. Broza is also well known for his commitment and dedication to humanitarian causes, predominantly the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Since 1977 he has worked to bring the message of peace to the masses by joining peace movements and singing what has become the anthem of the peace process, his hit song "Yihye Tov."
In one project, he wrote and recorded with Sabreen the song "Belibi," which featured Mr. Broza, Sabreen's Wissam Murad and two children's choirs, one from each side of the conflict. In Search for Common Ground presented awards to both Mr. Broza and Mr. Murad in November 2006.
Mr. Broza's album Night Dawn: The Unpublished Poetry of Townes Van Zandt was released in 2010 to worldwide critical acclaim. In July 2011 the album Third Language was launched, the first one since 2002's Ze Hakol o Klum (It's All or Nothing) to have all the lyrics and music written by Mr. Broza. One of his latest projects is "Poetry From the Bench," a new web series dedicated to intimate and live renditions of poetry. His website is davidbroza.net.

Yehonatan Geffen is a poet, author, songwriter, journalist, playwright and performer. Born in Nahalal, Israel, Mr. Geffen moved to Tel Aviv after he fulfilled his military service, where he began to write poetry. He soon started writing a column for the weekend supplement of the Ma'ariv newspaper; when he would spend time living in London and New York, he would serve as the paper's foreign correspondent. He joined a group of journalists, including Eitan Haber, to publish the book The Failure in 1973, documenting the failures of the Yom Kippur War. He also joined the now-iconic troupe of actors and singers, Chavurat Lul, which included the late Arik Einstein.
Much of Mr. Geffen's success as a writer comes from his works for children, led by the beloved book Ha-Keves Ha-Shisha Asar (The 16th Sheep); the album of the same name features David Broza and Gidi Gov and has become one of the most popular children's recordings in Israeli history. It includes such songs as "HaYalda Hachi Yafa BaGan" ("The Prettiest Girl in Kindergarten"), made famous by Yehudit Ravitz; "Eich shir nolad?" (How is a song born?") and "Ani Ohev" ("I Love…").
Mr. Geffen has also written many popular songs, poems, plays and stories for adults. He has had more than a dozen volumes of poetry published and five plays produced, and his memoir, Good Stuff, was published in 2002. In 2005 he was voted the 72nd greatest Israeli of all time in a poll by the Israeli news website Ynet to determine whom the general public considered to be the 200 greatest Israelis.
This past spring singer, songwriter, record producer, author and actor Steve Earle released his 15th studio album, The Low Highway, and the corresponding live tour featured his celebrated live band The Dukes. He is co-producer of and a performer in David Broza's new album, East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem, which will be released next month.
A protégé of legendary songwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, Mr. Earle quickly became a master storyteller in his own right. His songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings, Travis Tritt, The Pretenders, Joan Baez and countless others. In 1986 he released his debut record, Guitar Town, which shot to No. 1 on the country charts. What followed was an exciting and varied array of releases, including his three Grammy Award–winning albums: The Revolution Starts...Now (2004), Washington Square Serenade (2007) and Townes (2009). His previous album, I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive (2011), was nominated for a Grammy Award.
As an actor, Mr. Earle appeared in the HBO series "The Wire" and "Treme," NBC's "Law & Order" and the film Leaves of Grass. He will be seen in the new film The World Made Straight, co-starring Minka Kelly, Noah Wyle and Haley Joel Osment. He is also host of "The Steve Earle Show: Hardcore Troubadour Radio" on Sirius XM Radio. The year 2011 saw the publication of Mr. Earle's debut novel, also titled I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive. A memoir and second novel are forthcoming. His website is steveearle.com.

In a press conference advocating Virginia expand Medicaid under the federal Affordable Care Act Wednesday, The Commonwealth Institute for Fiscal Analysis highlighted its study that shows expanding the health care program would save the state a little more than $1 billion of general fund money.
Following a U.S. Supreme Court decision last summer state's now have the option on whether to expand their Medicaid programs to 133 percent of the federal poverty level under the ACA. For state's that choose to expand their programs the federal government will pay 100 percent of the costs for the first three years and 90 percent there after.
The press conference was put on by the Healthcare for All Virginians coalition, that includes 53 organizations including the Poverty Law Center, health care provider Bon Secours Virginia and AARP Virginia.
The expansion of medicaid under the ACA in the commonwealth would insure roughly 400,000 of the state's 1 million uninsured.
Michael Cassidy, president of the left leaning Commonwealth Institute wich advocates for middle and lower income families, the program would pay for itself to the tune of $1.06 in general fund savings through 2021. This would be achieved budget savings both inside and outside of the state's Medicaid program and nearly $500 million in new tax revenue from an expected new 30,000 jobs in the commonwealth.
"You see where all these various numbers are pointing in the same direction, which is that Virginia has all kinds of options to make the Medicaid expansion pay for itself," Cassidy said.
While Democrats in the General Assembly are pushing for the state to expand its Medicaid program under the ACA Gov. Bob McDonnell and Republican lawamkers have opted not to at this point.
McDonnell has argued that the social safety net program where costs are shared between the federal government and states first needs major reform at the federal level, and with the fiscal problems in Washington there is no guarantee that the promised federal funds will be there in the future.
Cassidy said Virginia should make its Medicaid expansion contingent on continued federal funding at the promised levels.
"States are fully within their rights to tell Congress not to monkey around with the match rates," Cassidy said. "All state need to hold Congress accountable to staying true to their end of the bargain."

Last chance to see "Picasso Looks at Degas" at the Clark
For Immediate Release
August 24, 2010
Digital images available upon request
WILLIAMSTOWN, MA—The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute's groundbreaking exhibition, Picasso Looks at Degas, ends its run in Williamstown on September 12. The New Yorker raves, "If any artist merits a trip out of town, it's Pablo Picasso," and there are just three weeks left to make the trip. The Clark is the only North American venue for the exhibition, which has been hailed "a double-barreled delight" (The Wall Street Journal) and "one of the most revelatory exhibitions on American soil this year" (The Boston Globe).
Picasso Looks at Degas is the first exploration of Picasso's fascination with Degas, drawing together more than one hundred works from international museums and private collections to provide new insight into the multifaceted creativity of these two great artists. For many, Picasso Looks at Degas is the opportunity of a lifetime to see iconic works like Degas's In a Café (L'Absinthe) from the Musée d'Orsay in Paris; Degas's Coming the Hair (La Coiffure), a treasure from the National Gallery in London; and Picasso's Standing Nude from the Museo del Novecento in Milan before the exhibition travels to the Museu Picasso de Barcelona in the fall of 2010.
Picasso Looks at Degas was organized by the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute and the Museu Picasso de Barcelona. It is supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities, and with the special cooperation of Fundación Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso para el Arte.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open daily in July and August, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Admission is $15 June 1 through October 31. Admission is free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. For more information, call 413 458 2303 or visit clarkart.edu.
Calendar Listing:
June 13 through September 12, 2010: Focusing on two of the great artists of the modern period, Picasso Looks at Degas examines Picasso's lifelong fascination with the life and work of Degas. The Clark is the exclusive North American venue for this groundbreaking exhibition exploring the depth of the Spanish artist's fixation with Degas through dramatic pairings and groupings of the two artists' works. The Clark, 225 South Street, Williamstown, Massachusetts, 413-458-2303, clarkart.edu
