Radical Prostatectomy is an effective treatment for localized prostate cancer and is associated with an improvement in overall survival compared to watchful waiting (Bill-Axelson, NEJM 2005).
Mar 5, 2010 - While the investigational drug cabazitaxel prolongs survival in men with metastatic prostate cancer progressing after treatment with a docetaxel-containing regimen, hormone therapy plus radiation improves survival and reduces recurrence in men with intermediate-risk early-stage prostate cancer, according to two studies presented at the 2010 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, held from March 5 to 7 in San Francisco.

Fernando Almodovar has over 20 years of work experience in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors. As a financial professional, he is skilled in building and leading efficient and effective teams and thinking strategically to produce results for the organizations he has worked for. Fernando is the Chief Financial Officer of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF), the nation's largest Hispanic nonprofit organization. He has oversight responsibility for HSF's finance and accounting activities, grants management, risk management, and human resources functions. He also works closely with HSF's executive team to ensure that the organization is strategically positioned to meet the educational needs of the Hispanic community today and in the future.
Prior to joining HSF, he was the Vice President of Finance and Accounting for Los Angeles Universal Preschool (LAUP) from 2005 through June 2012. LAUP is a non-profit that funds quality preschool for over 11,000 four-year-olds per year. When he began his employment at LAUP the organization had revenues of $6 million per year. He was instrumental helping grow the organization and when he left to join HSF, revenue at LAUP was over $70 million per year and growing. He led a staff of 15 employees responsible for finance, accounting, treasury, compliance, and risk management functions.
Fernando's private sector experience includes leadership at a subsidiary of Home Depot, where he served as the Director of Finance and Controller. He also worked at Mattel, Inc. in the Internal Audit Department and in the Operations Finance Division. Because of his bilingual ability, Fernando's work took him to Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina. He worked as a liaison between the Mexico manufacturing plants and corporate headquarters where he effectively combined his Spanish language skills along with his financial abilities. Prior to Mattel, Inc., Fernando worked for Grant Thornton, LLP, the fifth largest CPA firm in the country where he worked for clients in industries including manufacturing, banking, and non-profit. It was at Grant Thornton that the realization that there are very few Hispanics working in professional fields really began to sink in. This was the beginning of a journey that has led Fernando to be a part of HSF, an organization where he can make a difference in the number of Hispanic professionals who are part of the American workforce.
Fernando is a Certified Public Accountant in California, holds a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting from California State University, Fullerton and a Master's in Business Administration from Loyola Marymount University with a concentration in Finance with an International Certification. He also serves on the board of the South Central Family Health Center as chair of the Finance Committee.
Working at HSF is like a dream come true in that I'm able to contribute to an organization that has such a great impact in the lives of Hispanic scholars. Most of the scholars we are supporting were just like me, first generation college students with minimal resources and guidance. The work we do at HSF increases the chances that our scholars will be the doctors, lawyers, engineers, CEOs and CFOs of tomorrow (the future leaders of our country).

Softball to return to TMP in 2013

By AUSTIN COLBERT
From the age of 11 until she graduated from Hays High in 2001, Melissa Schoepf spent her summers playing softball for legendary Thomas More Prep-Marian coach Alan Billinger as part of the Hays Strikers.
"The one thing I did take from Alan, when I was very young, probably 12 or 13, he told me, 'You will take so much away from this game, at some point you need to give it back,' " Schoepf said. "And I never understood what that meant until I got out here and I saw these kids that wanted to learn to play. Then it really dawned on me what he meant by that."
This experience has guided Schoepf to the helm of TMP softball, where she will try and revive a once powerful program that hasn't fielded a team since the 2010 season because of a lack of available players.
Schoepf was a pitcher at Fort Hays State University from 2001 to 2005, helping lead the Tigers to a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference title her sophomore year. She is in her second year as a math teacher at TMP after moving back to her hometown of Hays from Sylvan Grove.
The idea of getting involved with TMP softball was a big draw for Schoepf.
"When I started teaching at TMP, it was always in the back of my mind and I think the school's mind that maybe we can get it back at some point," Schoepf said. "What I did last year was started to see what the interest was, seeing who was out there, if we did have the numbers."
The reason for the three-year absence of softball at TMP certainly wasn't about a lack of success. In nine seasons under Billinger, the Monarchs were 165-54, winning the 4A state title in 2007 and the 3A state title in 2008, with numerous second, third and fourth-place finishes.
"Our girls softball program has been successful for a lot of years. Coach Billinger did a tremendous job," TMP athletic director Gene Flax said. "We went through some years that we didn't have the percentage of girls involved in all athletics that we needed for a school our size ... now we have a good contingency of girls coming through again."
While it's far too early to know exactly what the roster will look like when the season begins in March, Schoepf expects around 16 girls -- only one of which will be a senior -- with a wide range of playing experience.
"I have a few that have not played before but are anxious and willing to learn, then I have some that have played since they were little," Schoepf said. "We are going to try our best to keep a tradition going with them and build something we can take some pride in."
Schoepf won't be alone in reviving the program, as she has brought in TMP graduate Alicia Hammeke to be an assistant. Hammeke played multiple sports while at TMP from 2005-09, and was part of both state championship teams in softball.
"I talked to Melissa and she asked me if I was interested and I was really excited. I didn't have to think a whole lot about it," Hammeke said. "I'm particularly excited that it's TMP. I'm excited to watch the girls grow in their abilities and watch our program develop first hand."
Hammeke is attending FHSU and is working on finishing a degree in elementary education. Her father, Curtis Hammeke, is the FHSU athletic director.
"She was part of some tremendous basketball teams, tremendous softball teams," Flax said of Hammeke. "To be part of the tradition, I think it's very positive. She is young and energetic, so I think it's a big asset to the school."
Both coaches understand they face an uphill climb with the limited experience they expect to have on the field come spring. While winning is the ultimate goal, Schoepf is just glad to be able to field a team, and is excited about the enthusiasm that is quickly returning to TMP softball.
"It was just overwhelming the support that was out there. You could tell people were excited about getting softball back," Schoepf said. "We have the families on board; we have the kids on board. And we are just going from there."

Tuesday, May 20th - 9:05 pm
Joel Pineiro vs. Greg Maddux
Wednesday, May 21st - 9:05 pm
Braden Looper vs. Chris R. Young
Ummm....we won the first game.
Nice win...4 homers and an 8-2 win.
That's three in a row. We needed a little streak to get us out of that funk we were in.
We're only two games out...and a game and a half up on the Astros, who have cooled off a bit, losing 3 of their last 4.
The only game I am concerned about, is Wednesday's game when we face Chris Young. That one is going to be tough.

Varsity played like a well-oiled machine�with all its parts working to- gether. The Merion Cricket Club players, on the other hand, were more independent and Ws successful in their attempts. Var- sity's speed, strength and excellent stick work were very evident causes for their victory. Playing a superb game, Loines, '28, was the star of the day with her quick runs down the wing, clever dodges through her backs and passes in at the circle. The play centered on the right of the fielo>and- H. Tuttle. '28, passed quickly and well to B. Loines, '28, who sent the ball back for the first goal by H. Tuttle, '28, from (lie edge of the circle. E. Tuttie, '24, playing for Merion, was quick to pass and dribble. Three times after hard fighting at the twenty- five-yard line. D. Lee, '25, the captain, rushed the ball to the goal.

Crossing the Pacific for $57_ on the N. Y. K. Line, Mr. Blanchard" reached Japan, where" new Western ideas and prac- tices are gradually being imposed on old Eastern methods. There is the contrast of traditional historical pageants, with men taking all the women's parts, and the American movie. The freedom of women is slowly developing with the establish- ment of Christian colleges and the germs of a suffrage movement. Labor conditions are much like those of England in 1840, before the legisla- tion enfranchising the laboring classes and protecting them. Girls work 11 hours a day in the silk factories and arc allowed to leave the factories for only a half hour each day. They know nothing of labor organization or labor move- ments. Manual and mechanical labor go on side by side. In one shop you see a shoemaker selling shoes that he has made by hand; next door you may no- tice a shopkeeper who has got his stock itf shoes from a factory.

November 11. "We have almost no record of any other of the twelve Apostles, save *Peter," con- tinned Dr Tyson. It w�s Paul who car- ried the gospel outside of a small district and, spread it abroad. Paul's letters grew out of several factors of which the first was his personal correspondence. Only one such letter, the Epistle to Philemon, was used, as most contained no matter of public interest. The greater part of his epistles were written to help the churches that he had founded, out of their difficulties. The letter to Philemon was the result of the following story, Dr. Tyson ex- j'a ned. He had founded a church at Philippi in 50 A. D., and had then stayed at F.phe- sus. where he had trained men to go out preaching into the country districts. From a small town near by came a business man named Philemon. Paul met him and talked to him of the love of Christ. Philemon went honie, telling his family what he had learned, and organized a Sunday evening circle in his house. Philemon had a slave who, wanting CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS IS NECESSARY, SAYS DR. GARRETT Dr. Higginbottom Speaks on Work for Blind, Lepers, Uneducated Educational and health work in India, and the conditions of that poverty-stricken country, were the subjects of discussion by Dr. Samuel Higginbottom, of the Alla- habad Institute, India, in Sunday evening chapel of November 15. Although he is also directing a leper aSylom of 800 patients and a blind asylum of 50 patients, his main attention is directed toward a Junior Agricultural Col- lege. This includes in its present state classes in farming and dairying, appren- tice schools for those who cannot enter the college, and a rural teachers' training department. India is the poorest country on the face of th�eearth. Because of poverty and the diseases of poverty, because of the under- development caused by feeding opium to babi�s, the average length of life is less than half that of the American. The first and greatest cause of poverty is caste, the feature of Hinduism which divides human society into watertight compartments. * Between the highest caste, the Brahmins, who are almost divine, and the outcasts, there are thou- sands of classes between which is allowed neither intermarriage nor interdining. This system, in which there is no way of rising in the stale, only of fairing. Kmits production and prevents m*n from follow- ing any other vocation than that to which they are born. COOTmTJBD ON PAGE 2 Scarlet Tunics Easily Defeat Valiant Saturday Morning Club The Saturday Morning Club again met defeat at the hands of Second Varsity. Sat- urday morning. November 14, with a score of 5-1. ' Playing a strong fast game, Second Var- sity, in its scarlet tunics, tore up and down the muddy field with great speed. The Saturday Morning Club seemed to be more co-ordinated than last week, but were ob- viously outplayed. In the first half, their energy and de- termination seemed for a time to make up for the college's superior technique, but it soon became apparent that the Reds would win. E. Cushman, '26, started be- hind the fifty-yard line dribbling the ball with great speed to the circle, then sending it smartly in for a goal off R. Miller, "27. R. Miller, '27, three times ran down the field and passed in, once far a goal from E. Nichols, '28, but twice was stopped by the quick interference of M. Buchanan. �24 (the star of the Saturday Morning Club) from the other side of. the field. In the second half, Miss Margerum made several good dashes, but Second Varsity retained the lead and won, 5-1. The line-up was: Saturday Morning Club: Miss Marge- rum, Miss Avery, Miss Stone, Miss Thomp- son, Miss Gay*. Miss Newcomb, Miss Rugh. Miss West. M. Buchanan, '24, Miss Pitt, M. Woodworth, '24.

English Educator Tells How Work is Done in England PROF. CESTRE DISCUSSES ASPECTS OF E. A. ROBINSON Sorbonne Savant in His Quinzaine Francaise Calls Him Manager of Side-Shows in World's Face PROTEST SUBTLE TRUTH OF HEART "Edwin Arlington Robinson's Dra- matic Poetry" was the theme of M. Charles Cestre's fourth lecture last Tues- day after noon. �Robinson's dramatM poerty, like his other work, appeals to the intellect. In describing a struggle, Robinson laid dramatic force on the yearnings rather than on the facts. He kept the spectacu- lar in the background and avoided violent effects. This interpretative and intellectual man- ner belongs to Browning, but the spirit and general method are always Robin- son's own. His poetry has a deliberate gait. Robinson is not as much interested in historical characters and eras as Brown- ing: Robinson is satisfied with men and women about him. While his characters are usually homely individuals, they never lack variety. His portrayal of temporary America is second to none in human inter- est. Robinson is broadly American. The background of his poetry is New England; the characters strong and individual but not provincial: and his style modern and individual. Robinson's poetry in its universality of conception and individuality of form is truly a modern classic. There is steady progress in his work, in general from the simple to the complex. Mis first volume is a collection of sonnets, which already contain .the oustanding characteristics of Speaking under the auspices of the Grad- uate Club in Denbigh on Friday. Novem- ber 13, Dr. Garnett, Executive Secretary of the English League of Nations Society, treated the- necessity of people's co-opera- tion with the League. "In Europe," he began, "we are con- scious of the great changes of the world in the last hundred years, since the first railroad in 1925, for example. From the time of the taming of the horse until 1825. distances remained comparatively the same (that is, could be traversed with the same speed). Today, with our railroads, with our aeroplanes the nations of the world are in much closer contact. An isolation policy is not practicabfe. "When the railroad bound Europe ami Asia- together, cholera, the plague of the East, swept Europe'. Thirty-three national public health organizations were formed. For forty years they endeavored to change the quarantine laws of the different coun- tries, whose variety was largely the reason of the rapid spread of the disease. Not till a horribly severe epidemic caused the nations to come to a compromise was the disease stopped. War came and the thirty-three nations realized they must have some way of or- ganizing. Wilson voiced the need in the League of Nations. Formerly there were lots of authorities, but no authority, no co- ordinatton. Witli the interdependence of the na'ions the League is indispensable. Under the auspices of the League." Dr Garnett went on, "a number of agreements and treaties were signed. Every nation (except Italy and Spain, which have spe- cial arrangements) sent their Prime Min- ister or Foreign Secretary, or both, to the CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION WILL TAKE OVER FENCING THIS YEAR Points Won in Bouts to Count Both in Class and Individual Totals Fencing this year is going to be run on an entirely different basis. Instead of the former individual agreement, separate from college authority between Mr. Ter- rone and -the members of his class, the agreement will now be made by the Ath- letic Association. Fencing will therefore rank with the other winter sports. Points gained in fencing will count in the individual total required for the coveted blazer. Fencing will furthermore rank in class sports. Class teams will be chosen and points won in inter-class tournaments will count towards the class total. A varsity team will be also chosen. It is hoped* that this competitive basis will help to popularize fencing. Fresh- men and sophomores are especially urg- ed to participate. Fencing has increased in importance in both men's and women's college*. Those who are interested in fencing are asked to give their names to their class captains or representatives: E.

Spring 2012 7v7 Tournaments Conclude
Monday, April 16:
Night one of the 7v7 tournaments is in the books, and after several close games and penalty kick tiebreakers we have crowned 2 champions! In the first tournament of the night, the U11 and U12 girls age groups squared on in a massive 10 team tournament. After two close semis (one ending in a shootout), team Nike won the the championship game in dramatic fashion after converting all 3 of their penalty kicks in the shootout. See below for their team photo. In the second tournament of the night, the U11 boys and 2 of the U12 boys teams lined up to contest their 6 team tournament. After an exciting group stage, the knockout rounds were set. The final ended up being played to a 1-1 draw, so a shootout would again decide the winner. After several saves and misses, the Pretty Pink Ponies won with their 5th kick being smashed off both posts and into the goal. See below for their team photo.
Wednesday, April 18:
The second night of the 7v7 tournaments got off to a flying start, with the U12 Nike and Swoosh and U13 Swoosh Boys competing alongside the U13 Swoosh and U14 Nike and Swoosh Girls. After an entertaining 10 team round robin tournament and yet another semifinal shootout, the Wolf Gang prevailed to win the championship. See below for their team photo. The final tournament of the week included the 13 Nike Boys, 14 Nike Boys and the U15 Nike, Swoosh and A1 Boys. Again, 10 teams vied for the coveted championship. The early favorites (picked by oddsmaker Jumbo Garcia) were team Bojangless. They cruised through the round robin stages to earn the top seed going into the knockout stages, but were upset in the semifinal by dark horse Machester Compromise (more on the name later). The final was a back and forth affair, and was tied 2-2 heading into added time. Sean Creamer took the game over from their, netting twice to complete his 4 goal performance and seal the championship for the underdog Manchester Compromise. Why Compromise? Half of the team supports City, the other half United. They put aside their red and blue differences however to take home the final championship of the week. See below for their team photo.

quote:If you win the conference, the next year you should have a tough schedule.
quote:I think if you dont play a tough schedule you shouldn't be able to qualify for the BCS Championship. Why isnt there a process in place to regulate this?
quote:Any chances the NCAA checks in to the "scheduling advantages"?
quote:I think if you dont play a tough schedule you shouldn't be able to qualify for the BCS Championship. Why isnt there a process in place to regulate this? There was. It was "adjusted" following the 2003 year because LSU jumped over USC, another darling like Bama and Oklahoma. That damned strength of schedule didn't give the darlings what they wanted, an Oklahoma - SC title game that year and allowed LSU to get in. The media had hyped up Oklahoma all that year and said before they lost in the Big 12 Championship game that Oklahoma would have to be in the NC game because of their quality of wins. After the loss they focused on how "USC was robbed" yet LSU did exactly what we had to do and what did we get told by the media then? Oh, it's a "split National Championship." That was the very thing that the BCS was supposed to end but they didn't like the result so they changed it
quote:QUALITY WINS was removed from the overall formula bc a media darling couldn't hack it.
quote:HOWEVER, the computer rankings are a component of the BCS formula and most (might be all, but some of the computer formulas are proprietary) of these rankings use SOS as apart of their formula. In short, SOS is still used in the BCS formula, it's just not a seperate component anymore.
quote:PacWilly, the counter to that is that it leaves LSU with a margin of error of just one game. If Bama projects to go undefeated due to excellence/advantageous scheduling, your season is over if you lose to them. Perfection every single year as a prerequisite for the division title is a ridiculous expectation. Even if LSU beats Bama, what are the chances they go unscathed against Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and A&M? If Bama loses to LSU, what are the chances they still win the rest of their games? Still pretty good. I know we have to beat Bama. There's no getting around that, and Bama has to deal with us. The issue is that Bama doesn't have to deal with Florida, Georgia and South Carolina... and we do. I respect the chest-beating aspect of saying "frick it, we're LSU, we're not afraid of anyone, we got this." You and others like you are awesome for saying that. But those who are creating this situation are counting on you to say that. You're playing right into their hands. This isn't about who's a pussy and who's not. It's about what's logical and fair. After all LSU has accomplished in and for the SEC over the years, don't you feel a level playing field is the LEAST we deserve?
quote:Notre Dame exploited that formula by winning all their games.
quote:The bottom line is that we have to beat Alabama
quote:It's amazing really. They are so awesome. I don't know how they do it. That's quite a dynasty they've built for themselves, you know, with Mulligans, rigged schedules and alumni that run just about every aspect of SEC football.
quote:if admins are afraid of slive/sec/bama, it's gonna take us fans to give them the message.
quote:Threads like this are one of my favorite fringe benefits of winning BCS titles year after year.

I am referring to a website called "First Church of Atheism".
They are apparently recruiting atheist ministers online. The purpose of this they say is to have non-religious ministers offer services such as weddings and funerals etc without the religious references.
Even so I still don't see the point of an atheist church? Sure if you want to have non-religious state ministers, thats fine. But do we really need a church? Does that not send out mixed messages to what atheism is? I'm very irritated too by the fact that this site keeps referring to atheism as a belief.
What are your thoughts?
I agree, they seem to have missed the point of atheism. Call it something else, but church is the wrong name.
The last thing we need is to give the religious another excuse to claim that atheism is a religion.
It's nothing to me. I tend to favour the individualistic approach. My atheism is my atheism; their atheism is their atheism. In this case the use of terms like 'church' and 'minister' is about taking advantage of privileges afforded to religious institutions.
I think you're confusing "Minister" with "Ministry," A trip to Wikipedia came up with many kinds of Ministers, there's an Agriculture minister, a Business minister, a Commerce minister, a Communication minister, a Culture minister, a Defense minister, an Education minister, an Energy minister etc. etc. So "atheist minister" doesn't mean they're attached to a religious organization (unless they've changed the meaning of the word "church".) Actually religion has nothing to do with a legal marriage, you'll still need a marriage license. A marriage minister could be a judge or a ships captain, the church represents a type of marriage ceremony, not the legalities of a civil union. Their use of the word "church" makes it a little suspicious to me.
In this case, 'minister' refers to an atheist analogue to the religious office.
Hi everyone.
I'm somewhat perplexed about this.
I agree with Carl, that Atheism needs a recognised institution of some sort or another even if it's just a means to an end, but we need to be very careful with this. We should be very wary that atheism follows the same 'historic" path theism has followed, in that; organised theism is institutionalised by its very nature. Atheism is non-conformity to the institution of religion. So how could we possibly pigeon hole Atheists into this type of group?
Now, I had a look at this web page for "The Church of Atheism": (Consider me Ordained :P)
The first thing I noticed was the "add to card link", then donations section. There is nothing too untoward about this so far. I mean THINKATHEIST has the same thing. Then there is a link where you can become ordained "For Free". Problem! One thing I have learned in life that nothing is for free. When I see the words (on any internet web page) "for free", I start looking for smelly cyber rats.
If this web page is genuine (and don't think it is) then perhaps the creators of it are a little misguided or at least a little delusional or just short of cash? Big whoop! 5577 ordained ministers, so what!?
Na, I think this has a more sinister agenda. Call me paranoid but this smells like cyber rats at work.
If I were to get married I would certainly NOT use an ordained atheist to perform the ceremony. I would ask a close friend or a relative to facilitate. Not some so called "ordained" minister who clicked on a web link once upon a time.
Oh! And P.S. - If this "church" does ever become a reality, I would like services to be held on Monday's. I could use a shorter work week. :)
I think having a church and ministers just feeds in to the concept some have of Atheism being a religion.. I can hear it now.."If Atheism isn't a religion why do they have a church..?"..
I agree there should be no church of atheism. The point of atheism is not to have a church isn't it? And if they need some one to marry people who don't have a church, they don't need to create a church, they need to use a notary public. Works just fine every time.
There is no point, and it makes it so much easier for people to insist that atheism is a religon or belief system.
