מאת Johnny Class 23 במרץ, 2005
a woman who, generally for public entertainment, dons men's clothes and adopts a stereotypically masculine demeanor while on stage. as with drag queens, a drag king's performance can range from a silly, overdone parody to a more natural, subtle depiction of masculinity.
that drag king at the club was so convincing, i thought she was some man who'd wandered on stage.

The Buffalo History Museum will conduct public tours of the Hotel @ the Lafayette on three Saturdays in the coming months, guided by the museum's program manager, Tara Lyons.
Each tour at the renovated historic hotel at Washington and Clinton streets, opposite Lafayette Square, begins at noon in the main lobby of the hotel at 391 Washington St. and gives considerable insight into its designer, Louise Bethune, the first American woman officially recognized as a professional architect.
The tours are followed by a discussion over lunch in the building's renovated Pan American Grill and Brewery.
The seven-story hotel, on the National Register of Historic Places, opened for business in 1904. Additions to the original structure were built in 1916-17 and 1924-26. Tour dates are Feb. 9, March 2 and April 6.
Since space is limited, registration is required; call 873-9644, Ext. 301. The cost is $35 for the general public and $30 for members of the Buffalo History Museum.

Guests at the Troy-Bumpas Inn bed and breakfast can always help themselves to complimentary home-baked cookies, which are available in our second floor guest lounge. Two recent guests loved the Chocolate Ecstasy Cookies that we served in the days leading up to Valentine's Day so much that they had to have the recipe. The main ingredient in these cookies is chocolate and the recipe calls for a mere 1/4 cup of flour. Be sure to let the cookies sit for a minute on the cookie sheet before transfering to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chocolate Ecstasy Cookies
12 ounces (2 cups) semi sweet chocolate morsels, divided
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Dash of salt
2 eggs
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup medium chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350. Position the rack in the center of the oven. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
In a heavy saucepan, heat 1 cup of the chocolate chips, the unsweetened chocolate squares and butter until melted, stirring constantly (Or, you may melt this mixture in a microwave-safe bowl in a microwave oven). Transfer to large mixer bowl to cool slightly. In a small separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Add eggs, sugar and vanilla to cooled chocolate mixture and beat well. Add flour mixture and beat again. Stir in rest of chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Edges should be firm, and the surface should be dull and cracked. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute, then remove to a wire rack and allow cookies to cool completely.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies

Between ideas proposed by the Big Ten and the NCAA for football, Southern Conference schools like The Citadel — and the rest of FCS — are starting to feel the squeeze.
The Big Ten is reportedly on the verge of voting to cease scheduling games against smaller Football Championship Subdivision teams like those in the SoCon. That has sparked concern that major conferences such as the SEC and ACC would follow suit, denying vital paydays to schools like The Citadel, Wofford and Furman.
Meanwhile, the NCAA and its president, Mark Emmert, have adopted deregulation proposals that threaten to increase spending in athletic departments and widen the gap between the haves and have-nots.
"If you look at everything that's going on, the rules of the game are slanted to help power conferences do what they want to do," said SoCon commissioner John Iamarino. "If it continues, the rest of us have to ask ourselves how much we are willing to invest to chase the big boys in some sports.
"No question, it's getting harder and harder to do that."
No more paydays?
The Big Ten scheduling proposal is not yet set in stone, but between the looming four-team FBS playoff and new TV contracts, there is increased pressure for major-college teams to step up their schedules, Iamarino said. Strength of schedule is likely to be a component of selection to the FBS playoff.
Appalachian State's epic victory over No. 5 Michigan in 2007 stands as one of college football's great upsets, and the Mountaineers will earn $850,000 for a rematch in 2014.
Not being able to schedule Big Ten teams would not hurt SoCon schools too much. The SEC and ACC are a different story. Over the last three years, SoCon squads have played one game against current Big Ten teams, and 22 against ACC and SEC squads.
"If it's isolated to the Big Ten or the Midwest, it's not as much of an impact," Iamarino said. "If it includes the ACC or the SEC, it will have a definite impact on our finances."
What kind of impact? Iamarino said guarantees for ACC and SEC games can run from $300,000 to $700,000. For a school like The Citadel, a payday of $450,000 would amount to about 11.5 percent of its $3.9 million budget for football (as reported for 2011-12).
According to Forbes, a $650,000 check from Michigan State accounted for 22 percent of FCS member Montana State's football revenue in 2009. South Dakota State earned $400,000 from a game at Nebraska that year, making up 19 percent of its football revenue.
Or consider South Carolina State. Last year, the Bulldogs earned a cool $1 million to play games at Arizona State and Texas A&M. That's a full 34 percent of the $2,9 million football budget S.C. State reported in 2011-12.
Obviously, a cut of 10 to 35 percent in revenue would be tough for FCS schools to absorb.
"That would be difficult to make up with other revenue," said Citadel athletic director Larry Leckonby, who has FBS games locked up for the Bulldogs in 2013 (Clemson), 2014 (Florida State), 2015 (South Carolina) and 2017 (Clemson again).
"I don't know if we would have to drop programs, but based on a budget of $10 to $11 million, that's a lot of money to make up," he said. "You'd have to get creative with other sources of revenue, ticket sales, marketing and fund-raising."
Iamarino said that if FBS games dry up completely, the FCS's 63-scholarship requirement might be reconsidered.
"The only reason to have 63 scholarships is to be eligible to play FBS teams and count toward their bowl eligibility," he said. "If those games go away, the entire subdivision would have to look at if 63 is the right number. Could we save expenses by reducing the number of scholarships? It would seem to me that's one thing that would have to be looked at."
New arms race
In an effort to simplify the NCAA rule book, the governing body has adopted deregulation proposals that many think could create a new arms race in college football.
One change will allow football programs to hire additional staff for recruiting. Another would allow coaches to send recruits unlimited text messages and mailings.
Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney said "this doesn't make sense," and Ohio State coach Urban Meyer called it "bad stuff." The SoCon's Iamarino and The Citadel's Leckonby agree.
"There is a need to get rid of silly rules," Iamarino said. "But I think they over-corrected, and our schools are very concerned that it will be 'anything goes' in recruiting. We will not be able to compete in any way with the resources of the bigger schools.
"If Clemson is having to ask if it is a have or a have-not, I don't know how optimistic the rest of us can be about the future."
Leckonby said he hopes the NCAA membership will veto deregulation, just as it did a previous proposal to pay college athletes a $2,000 per-year stipend.
"What you have to understand is that membership is not asking for this," Leckonby said. "This is a mandate from the NCAA office. NCAA staff tried to mandate paying players last year, and membership vetoed it. Membership will have to do the same thing this year.
"I would agree with Coach Meyer and Coach Swinney, that it's crazy to deregulate the way the NCAA wants to."

10 Days As a Skyrim Widow: The Dark Side of Gaming Addiction
So when my boyfriend told me that Skyrim was coming out November 11 and that I shouldn't expect to see him for three months, I was like, "Oh, ha ha, funny joke about how time-consuming games are. I get it." But then I started reading horror stories about "gaming widows" on totally serious news sites, which are the ultimate authority in telling us what to be scared of. ("Could Illegal Immigrants Be Giving You Cancer?" etc.)
So that got me properly scared. Furthermore, I found out the so-called "experts" have refused to classify video game addiction as a real addiction, so I decided to keep a daily journal of Mike's actions, hoping to capture a real case study of a descent into video game addiction that would finally wake them up, and maybe win me some kind of science prize.
Day 1: 11/10
8:57 pm -- I ask Mike to help me change out the cat litter box. "OK," he says, winkingly, "but only if it takes less than 3 minutes." He gets to start playing Skyrim at midnight Eastern time, which I guess is 9:00 here. Already he's watching the clock like a hawk. His pupils might be dilated. I think that is something you are supposed to measure when you are assessing addiction. I saw it on CSI once.
9:02 pm -- How can cats not tell when their butt is not in the litter box? "Gee my ass feels kind of high and my back feet aren't touching any litter, but I sure see a litter box in front of me so I must be in it. Aaaahhhhhhh."
Yeah, I'm talking about you, you little asshole.
Well, it's cleaned up now. Mike saunters over to the computer and checks on the game. It's ready to go. I take a deep breath and prepare myself for the ordeal to come. I may not see him again for months. I must be brave.
9:45 pm -- Mike wanders over to the couch and passes out. It could be from the 10-hour days he's been working on his feet with no breaks, or it could be from the ton of Benadryl he just took to deal with his allergy symptoms, but I think the most likely cause is just emotional exhaustion after the excitement of the moment he's been building up to all week. His gaming obsession must have run deeper than I thought to make him this tired.
9:50 pm -- Well, now I have nothing to observe and a ton of time to kill. People say that Angry Birds game sure is a lot of fun, maybe I'll check it out.
Day 2: 11/11
6:30 pm -- On my way home from work. Bracing myself for the way the house is going to look when I get home -- messy dishes, lights off, probably forgot to let the dog out. I'll have to remember to keep an eye out for poop.
7:00 pm - No poop on the floor. Mike has a full three-course dinner ready. While we're eating, I can sense him itching to get back to the computer. He's not hurrying or flighty or showing any outward symptoms at all actually, but you know. I've got a sixth sense. He keeps asking me why I am staring at his pupils.
I can never remember whether dilated means bigger or smaller. I hope that doesn't impact this experiment.
7:30 pm -- At last, I'm getting a chance to fully observe him absorbed in the game. He's got his headphones on and is completely focused on the screen. I bet he won't even hear me if I talk to him. I'm going to test that theory out.
7:31 pm -- I tested it out with a "Hey." He paused the game after an almost 1 second delay, turned to me and said, "Hi." I gave him a hug and he hugged me back but I don't think he was giving it 100 percent. I would assess the hug at 75, maybe 78 percent. Clearly the game was already draining his focus.
8:05 pm -- Tracy Morgan, our fattest cat, has been sitting in his lap for the past 15 minutes and he hasn't even noticed.
I hope I don't damage her kitty body image with this comparison.
Some studies have shown that activity decreases in certain parts of the brain when playing video games, specifically a part responsible for decision-making and some higher cognitive functions, maybe like noticing a cat has climbed into your lap. If he can't even notice something that fat jumping on his lap, soon enough he will be just like those gaming addict couples that neglect their starving kids. It's scary to see what these games can do to your brain.
8:10 pm -- Lost all my research links about video games and brain chemistry. Somehow my cat got into my lap while I was typing that last paragraph and she just now rolled over onto the keyboard. She's a sneaky devil.
10:25 pm -- No new observations here. He's still scarily absorbed in that little world. I've downloaded some more iPhone games to kill time in between pupil checks. Plants vs. Zombies is awesome! I've been playing it for the past hour and didn't even notice. Good stuff.
Day 3: 11/12
8:30 am -- Picked up my phone to check my mail before I got up, and realized I'd left a level of Plants vs. Zombies unfinished yesterday. Spent half an hour finishing it up. Take that, pool zombies!
Vincent Chong's Blog
Seriously, the dolphin rider zombies can go fuck themselves.
9:00 am -- I had a great idea for a spreadsheet I was going to set up to track his pupil dilations and other physical signs. He is pretty agreeable about me putting electrodes on his chest and forehead but vetoed the colonoscopy because he "doesn't understand what that was going to show." Personally, I think he's afraid of seeing the physical evidence of how much this addiction is affecting him.
11:30 am -- He's back on the computer. Earlier, he took a shower, washed the dishes and started some laundry, which is what he normally does, but I don't think he was as into it as he usually is. I think I saw him frown when he picked up his dirty socks. Addiction often causes people to lose interest in the tasks they once loved.
He used to love doing this. Or maybe I loved it when he did it and I didn't have to. Either way.
2:45 pm -- Missed a bunch of vital-sign checks. I was busy downloading a bunch of iPhone games. One of the games I had gives you extra "coins" if you agree to download and open other games, so I got every single one. It's OK, they're all free, so I'm not spending any money. I don't fall for that kind of thing. I'll probably delete them all once I get the "coins" in my account.
5:45 pm -- Actually, a lot of those games aren't half bad. I've worked out a pretty good schedule. I'm checking on Mike every half hour, and I have to check on my persistent iPhone games regularly to collect my crops or coins or zoo animals or what have you, so it's actually a really great clock to keep me on schedule. Every time I collect from my laundromat in Crime City, I'll remember to go take down Mike's stats.
Or when it's time to train my tranny dinosaur.
8:30 pm -- Mike cooked again -- we had dinner in front of the TV and watched a couple of episodes of American Dad. I don't really like Roger so I decided to watch Mike during all his bits, and what I saw was ominous. He was clearly not laughing as hard as he did last week -- even at the exact same jokes he had cracked up at last week (this was a rerun). The game was sucking the life out of him before my eyes.
Day 4: 11/13
11:30 am -- Caught Mike cursing at the computer. Apparently he's having some trouble killing a dragon. One of the most worrisome issues about immersive video games, at least according to experts, is that players who spend enough time with them can have difficulty telling the difference between fantasy and reality. I can see Mike is at the first step of this: bringing his frustration with a fictional dragon into the real world.
Platform Nation
He goes "Get down here!" and the dragon goes, "Flap, flap, flap!"
I realize I have to step in before the illusion consumes him. "It's OK, it's not a real dragon," I reassure him. He turns around and just stares at me. It hits me that he must be so deep in his immersion that he probably doesn't even recognize me and just sees me as a character in the game. "Forsooth, good sir!" I say. "Thou needeth not slay the dragon forthwith, but pray take thee a five minute break and refresh thyself!" Then I start to play a mirthful tune on the lute I happen to have handy.
He just sighs deeply, turns around in his chair, and goes back to playing the game. I catch my breath. It may already be too late for him.
11:35 am -- GOD FUCKING DAMMIT I MISSED THE TIME TO COLLECT MY MAFIA MONEY AND SOMEBODY ROBBED ME! FUCK THIS FUCKING PIECE OF CRAP IPHONE GAME! ROBIN_248718 SO HELP ME GOD I AM GOING TO KILL YOU AND YOUR WHOLE GANG! I DON'T MEAN IN THE GAME I MEAN I AM GOING TO GET YOUR PERSONAL ACCOUNT INFO FROM APPLE AND I AM GOING TO TRACK YOU DOWN AND PHYSICALLY KILL YOU AND IF THIS IS YOUR MOM'S PHONE I GUESS TOO BAD AND SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR MOM I HOPE YOU HAD MANY WONDERFUL YEARS TOGETHER
Robin_248718's mom. In the next life she will not be letting him play games on her phone.
10:25 pm -- Man, are my eyes tired. I've been sitting here in the study monitoring Mike all day and playing iPhone games in between checking on him. I've gotten to level 30 in Crime City, which seems kind of fast. Probably the level scaling is broken or something. I wish some of this shit recharged faster though. The minimum amount of time to collect money from a building is 5 minutes, which leaves me with 5 minutes of nothing to do. Maybe I'll pick up Bejeweled or something to get me through it.
Day 5: 11/14
9:00 am -- Back to work today, so I won't be able to observe Mike until evening. On a tangent though, you know what's great about iPhone games? If you hold your phone close enough, it looks like you're just checking your mail, which is a totally acceptable activity at work. All I have to do is open the program, make some disparaging comment about another department ("Oh, when is Surfacing going to get it?") and then all my furious clicking is just going to look like a diligent attempt to get this project on track.
"Yes! Straight flush! I mean, uh ... oh no, 20 messages since lunch! Better get to work!"
1:00 pm -- Man, Tower Defense: Lost Earth is the best thing. Funny thing about the title, though, they pissed off a lot of people when they came out with it because tower defense is a whole genre. It would be like naming a new game First Person Shooter or Role-Playing Game. All the grandmas buying gifts for their grandkids would end up buying them because they can't tell the difference between all the games in the genre. The kids would be mad, the people who make your Halos and Calls of Duty would be mad, and I totally get why this upsets people, but it turns out it's actually a pretty absorbing game. It really builds on a lot of the strengths of previous tower defense games while making some real UI improvements ... oh, listen to me. This journal is supposed to be about the onset of Mike's tragic video game addiction, not about me and my silly games.
6:00 pm -- Not entirely sure I got any work done today. Probably too worried about Mike.

Research of profit- and risk-sharing implications aimed at improving collaboration performance has been focused on parcelled goods manufacturing. In this context, research has shown that profit- and risk-sharing is an indicator for increasing collaboration performance. The present study investigates the influence of attributes of profit- and risk-sharing on collaboration performance in the context of software development. The study is based on three research questions. Together, the questions cover the definition of collaboration performance by collaboration participants, and influences of attributes of profit- and risk-sharing on collaboration performance in the context of software development in the telecommunications industry. Data for this study was collected from respondents in two OEM companies and their supplier companies engaged in software development in the telecommunications domain. On the basis of this data, the definition of collaboration performance was constructed by content analysis. Through structural equation modeling, it was shown that profit-sharing was not having influence on collaboration performance. Instead, some attributes of risk-sharing and sharing of decision-making were seen as factors increasing collaboration performance in software development. The more detailed analysis of these attributes shows that in different collaborator roles (OEM, supplier), attributes of risk-sharing and decision-making sharing are experienced to influence collaboration performance differently. This study contributes the existing theory and research by defining collaboration performance and identifying the influence of profit- and risk-sharing attributes on collaboration performance in the specific context of the research. The study also contributes to the discussions of different interorganizational relationship concepts. From a managerial perspective, the study contributes by illustrating the breadth in which collaboration performance is experienced, as well the differences in the viewpoints of OEM and supplier companies. Also, it provides more information on deciding whether companies should deploy profit- and risk-sharing on an increasing scale in future.

Two centuries after the British advanced on Lewiston and burned it during the War of 1812, there are undoubtedly descendants of some of those villagers who are alive today because courageous Tuscarora tribesmen led their ancestors to safety into the early 19th-century wilderness of Niagara County.
It was that act by the "Tuscarora Heroes" that is being commemorated in a recently minted "good luck" keepsake coin that the Lewiston Museum is offering to the public in advance of this year's wider official village bicentennial ceremony to be held Dec. 19.
The 2-inch coin depicts two Tuscarora warriors aiding a female villager with child away from the British attackers in 3-D relief on the front and the emblem of the Tuscarora Nation on the reverse. The Nation's emblem shows native symbols of the turtle, Northern White Pine tree and an eagle across the face of the sun along with a six-striped belt overlaying a totem pole to represent each nation in the Iroquois Confederacy. The coins are available for $10 each.
Lee Simonson, a volunteer and the 1812 Bicentennial director for the Historical Association of Lewiston, said all proceeds from the coins' sales will go the Tuscarora Heroes Monument project, which he called "the largest War of 1812 bicentennial monument project in the United States." It will be unveiled Dec. 19.
"We're building awareness and building excitement in Lewiston," he said.
The coin – as well as the planned bicentennial celebration – are designed to remind area residents that, although many in the Iroquois Confederacy sided with the British during the war, the Tuscaroras broke ranks with their blood-brothers to help out their white neighbors in Lewiston – a move for which they themselves paid a heavy price, Simonson added.
"The Tuscarora Nation, who had sided with the United States in the War of 1812, [was] one of the few tribes who did," said Simonson. "And they have never been thanked."
It was Dec. 19, 1813, when British troops invaded the United States, capturing Fort Niagara without firing a shot. Then, hundreds of troops marched to Lewiston to burn the village. At least a dozen residents were killed in the siege, but the death toll would have been much higher if not for the Tuscaroras' stalling the British attackers just long enough for many Lewistonians to escape eastward along what is now Ridge Road.
"They did come up with an ingenious, spur-of-the-moment plan to halt the attack long enough to give the impression there was a large enough force ready to counterattack," said Simonson, who said the Tuscaroras were outnumbered 30-to-1. "It was all bluff and bluster, but it stopped the British in their tracks and gave the people of Lewiston a few minutes' head start."
The British troops burned Lewiston. Then those natives allied with the Crown became so "infuriated" with the Tuscaroras' actions that they burned down the Tuscarora villages after Lewiston was set ablaze.
"They were as lost and homeless as Lewistonians were," said Simonson. "The Tuscaroras were defending white people against their own blood brothers, the Mohawks, who were part of the Iroquois Confederacy."
Ten days after Lewiston, the village of Buffalo was burned by the British.
The bicentennial events in Lewiston are designed to "thank the Tuscaroras for their bravery and for saving dozens of our citizens," said Simonson.
The monument to be unveiled at the Dec. 19 event will be a larger-than-life bronze representation by Sue Geissler, a Lewiston-Porter alumna who now lives in Youngstown. Geissler is putting the finishing touches on a 7-foot-high clay enlargement, which will be shipped to Colorado in the coming weeks to be cast in bronze.
Commissioned by the Lewiston Museum, the monument will show the Tuscarora men leading the female villager and her child to safety as it is depicted on the coin. It will be installed at Center Street and Portage Road in Lewiston at the same geographical location where the events actually happened in 1813, said Simonson.
There will also be a plaque installed there with the names of heroes and known victims in the burning of Lewiston.
Many of the details of that night's events were preserved through the work of Elias Johnson, a 19th-century Tuscarora chief and author who published a book on Tuscarora history in 1881. In it, Johnson documents earlier conversations he had with Tuscarora men who had participated in the 1813 action and provided him "firsthand, eyewitness accounts."
One of Johnson's quotes in his book – "May our chain of friendship be brighter and brighter as time rolls on" – is also represented on the reverse of the commemorative "Tuscarora Heroes" coin.
To order the coin, contact the Lewiston Museum at 754-4214. The coins can be paid for over the phone and shipped for an additional $4 fee or picked up at the Plain Street museum. Checks may also be made payable to the "Historical Association of Lewiston Inc." and sent to the museum at 469 Plain St., Lewiston, NY 14092.

Your 400 ton electric-powered 200 mph passenger service is an altogether different story... The overall energy usage depends almost entirely on how much energy needs to be spent maintaining a high speed, and that is determined by how much rolling-resistance and aerodynamic drag it experiences.

Don't judge how trains should look by how planes do.

Postcards for Parity is a great way to get your community more involved with advocating for myeloma patients. We know that everyone around you cares about you and your health and therefore would be interested in making sure you have everything you need to have the best care available. By filling out a simple postcard, your caregivers and advocates will be taking action on legislation that could very well save someone's life.
Background on the Legislation
At the IMF one of our core principles is ensuring equality of access to care for our patients. To achieve this goal we are working on state and federal legislation that would require health insurance plans to provide equal coverage for orally administered and intravenously administered or injected chemotherapy treatments.
At the federal level, The Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act of 2013 (HR1801) would require private health insurance plans that currently cover oral and infused anticancer medications to cover oral chemotherapy at the same benefit level as the IV infused chemotherapy. Typically the IV infused therapies are covered under a health plan's medical benefit requiring a reasonable out of pocket co-pay for the doctor's office visit. In contrast, orally administered anticancer medications are typically covered under a health plan's pharmacy benefit often resulting in high out-of-pocket co-pay costs to the patient. These co-pays can amount to as much as $2,200 to $8,600 per month. For many oral anticancer medications there are no intravenous substitutes, forcing patients to absorb the high out-of-pocket costs or forego treatment all together.
Not surprisingly, bills similar to HR 1801 have now been signed into law in 23 states including New Jersey, New Mexico, Colorado, Virginia, Maryland and Nebraska.
These postcards will be used to send to an individual's federal legislators in support of HR 1801. It is a very easy way for your friends and family to communicate with their legislators on behalf of an important issue to all cancer patients.
Basic Idea
Please contact Aimee at 818-487-7455 or by email at email@example.com. Let her know how many postcards you would like to start out with and your address, and we will mail them to you today. (We suggest you start with 25 postcards. Then once you have filled those up, you can decide how many more you would like us to send you.)

By Arin Assero
VP of Global Advocacy, IMF
The Global Myeloma Alliance (GMA), an advocacy initiative of the IMF, was established to mobilize the myeloma community to improve the lives of patients around the world. It is a patient-driven alliance of organizations and individuals active in the field of myeloma, coming together to share best practices, elevate global awareness of myeloma, improve patient outcomes through earlier diagnosis and better access to treatment, and advance innovation in blood cancer through clinical trial engagement. The GMA aims to enhance the capabilities of myeloma advocacy groups.
The IMF convened the inaugural GMA Summit in June 2013, with representatives from 11 countries in attendance. The GMA has continued to grow, thanks in part to the assistance of IMF's Director of Europe and the Middle East, Nadia Elkebir. The second GMA Summit took place in June 2014 in Milan, Italy. The IMF welcomed 30 advocates from 17 regions: Asia Pacific, Austria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Hungary, Italy, Korea, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden, Turkey, and the US, as well as Myeloma Patients Europe (MPE), an organization representing all of Europe.
The Summit's "Best Practice Sharing" session was opened by Dr. Maria Teresa Petrucci on behalf of AIL (Associazione Italiana contro le Leucemie-linfomi e mieloma), our host country's biggest blood cancer foundation. Formed in 1969, AIL promotes research, education, and awareness, as well as providing housing assistance, homecare, and financial support to patients in need. Headquartered in Rome, AIL has 82 branches and a large volunteer force of nearly 22,000 people. The IMF has enjoyed a strong partnership with AIL, collaborating on patient education programming over the course of many years, and we are thrilled to have their voice be part of the GMA.
Our next session was led by Myeloma Canada's Francine Gendron and Aldo Del Col, who presented a case study of patient advocacy and Canada's HTA (Health Technology Assessment) process. They stressed the crucial importance of patient and caregiver involvement when new drugs are being considered for reimbursement by the pan-Canadian Oncology Drug Review (pCODR). A video available at policymatters.ca is highly recommended for understanding the process in Canada. The approach adopted by Myeloma Canada has resulted in positive outcomes for drug reimbursement throughout the region. Their work serves as a brilliant example of how patient advocacy can have a strong voice in the regulatory process.
Following a break, I presented the GMA's three-year strategic plan on behalf of the IMF. The attendees reviewed and revised our common mission and goals, and identified GMA's activities for the next year and beyond. It became clear that there is a need for capacity building and sharing best practices. GMA members will remain in virtual communication year-round while sharing a web portal, programs and services, education tools, and advocacy and support efforts. And the GMA will continue to convene in person twice per year, at meetings of the European Hematology Association (EHA) and the American Society of Hematology (ASH).
One component of our work is a mentorship program, pairing organizations that will benefit from one another. For example, Dr. Ana Pereira is working on building an online myeloma platform in Portugal and is now being guided by Miyelomla Yasam of Turkey, as this is an area where they can offer extensive experience and guidance.
There was discussion about global myeloma awareness and taking advantage of the opportunity to collaborate. For a global campaign, the GMA decided to designate one week in March during IMF's Myeloma Awareness Month.
Additionally, we discussed the need to collect global data on patient issues through a survey that will assess needs and how the GMA can best provide solutions for myeloma patients. This data will also be useful when speaking to ministries of health and other policy makers about issues concerning our patient community.
In the coming months, the group will develop a strategy of engagement regarding clinical trials – including participation, access to information, and patient education.
Following the GMA Summit, we have a clear focus on specific activities for the coming months, and we are confident that our committed community of global advocates is ready to fulfill our mission as one united voice.
Asli Ortakmac
Miyelomla Yasam, Turkey
The GMA Summit brought together beautiful hearts from all over the world and, in a very short time, inspired us to become better educated about the most effective ways to help our patients. The Summit was a crash course in patient support and advocacy. As one powerful voice, we are better able to represent patients across the entire world. Miyelomla Yasam is proud to be a part of the GMA.
Viorica Cursaru
Myeloma Euronet, Romania
The Summit was very innovative and challenging. It proved that great ideas unite people irrespective of their geopolitical borders. Because myeloma strikes indiscriminately, global action has more relevance. A global approach unites patients and patient organizations, thereby truly contributing to meeting patients' needs.
Dr. Ana Pereira
Myeloma Platform, Portugal
The GMA Summit was very productive, breaking new ground and allowing groups to learn from each other's operation modes. It is useful to share not only our successes but also the common challenges faced by those who are dedicated to helping patients.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. — The Tahoe Rim Trail Association, United States Forest Service-Carson Ranger District, Great Basin Institute and Washoe County Regional Parks and Open Space and hundreds of volunteers made headway on the Rim to Reno project. The new trail will connect the Tahoe Rim Trail that circles the mountain ridges above Lake Tahoe to Reno. The Rim to Reno trail system will connect existing trails and create a new system that includes loops and will be accessible through the Mt. Rose Summit Trailhead, U.S. Forest Service's Thomas Creek and White's Creek Trailheads, and Washoe County's Galena Creek Regional Park, Lower White's Creek and Lower Thomas Creek Trailheads.
Volunteer on Rim to Reno! A day on a trail work crew is a way to make an immediate, tangible difference in the community. More than 100,000 people use the TRT each year. In 2011, about 500 of them spent at least one day improving the safety, connectivity and recreational quality of the trail. Help reach the goal of 1,000 volunteers in 2012. Volunteers of all skill levels and physical abilities are welcome — no prior experience necessary.
Workdays begin Saturday, July 14, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., with the Rim to Reno Kick Off event at the Mt. Rose Trailhead, top of Highway 431. The TRTA will provide lunch for volunteers. The Kick Off will start subsequent workdays occurring every Thursday and Saturday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., through Oct. 20, 2012.
Volunteers should bring lunch, sunscreen, bug spray, water and a backpack, (except for July 14) wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, boots, and work gloves. The TRTA will provide hard hats, trail building tools and expert crew leaders.
To join a volunteer work crew, register www.tahoerimtrail.org or contact Lindsey at 775-298-0239 email@example.com.

Ed Koch, the three-term mayor who earned a reputation for being a combative, shrewd politician and helped steer the city through financial turmoil, has died. He was 88. Koch spokesman George Arzt confirmed that Koch died early Friday morning from congestive heart failure. A funeral is scheduled for Monday at Temple Emanu-El in Manhattan. In a statement, Mayor Michael Bloomberg called Koch New York City's " irrepressible icon, our most charismatic cheerleader and champion." Koch left City Hall in 1990. He was born in the Bronx on Dec. 12, 1924.
Over the years, Gotham Gazette has scrutinized his legacy and also talked with the man himself about his views on everything from, most recently, Indian Point nuclear power plant, to state redistricting. Here are a handful of highlights from our archives.
Looking back at Ed Koch's mayoral years
In 2005, former Daily News editor Michael Goodwin moderated a panel featuring journalist and novelist Pete Hamill; Stephen Berger, former director of the Emergency Financial Control Board; New York Times columnist Joyce Purnick; the Reverend Al Sharpton; and Victor Gotbaum, former executive director of the municipal workers union, District Council 37. The forum launched "New York City Comes Back: Ed Koch and the City," an exhibition then on display at the Museum of the City of New York.
Koch's landmark housing plan
This excerpt from the book, Ed Koch and the Rebuilding of New York City, by Jonathan Soffer (Columbia University Press), explores the thinking behind the Koch housing plan, the obstacles it encountered and the successes that made Mayor Michael Bloomberg look to it as a model some 15 years later.
Koch explains opposition to nuclear plant
In 2011, Koch began to voice his opposition to the Indian Point nuclear power plant, joining a growing chorus of environmental advocates and politicians calling fo it to be shut down. He argued that the aging nuclear plant posed a danger to the 8 million people who live 24 miles to the south in New York City – especially in the wake of what was learned from the Fukushima disaster.

Some arrived in classic black pumps, others in strappy open-toed numbers or summer wedges.
Regardless of the differences in shoe choice, all of the approximately 350 women and men ran, walked and wobbled along Elmwood Avenue as part of the sixth annual Stiletto Run – a 0.5K race that raises money for the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance. Event organizer Matt Carlucci said it would take at least a week to determine how much money was raised.
Participants lined up at Bidwell Parkway and Elmwood Avenue about 7 p.m. Wednesday – some decked out in colorful tutus and blue knee-high socks.
But amid the bright costumes and flashy footwear, the runners didn't lose sight of the reason they were there.
Jayliann Sgroi of Amherst walked with nine other members of her family – aunts, cousins and sisters. Each had a sign pinned on to their shirts that read, "Stepping out for our Survivor Barbara," in honor of Sgroi's aunt, Barbara Curto, who underwent a round of chemotherapy for ovarian cancer on Tuesday.
"It means the world that we can walk for her and for every woman that's ever had to deal with something as horrendous as this," said Sgroi, whose twin sister, Shawna Joyce, sported a wig dyed pink and blue.
"I'm wearing a pink and blue wig because one of my aunts had breast cancer and another one is surviving ovarian cancer," Joyce said. "We're here to show solidarity in our family."
Sgroi and Joyce crossed the finish line, hip to hip, with fellow family members.
Rochester resident Angie Bracci was walking because she had battled uterine cancer in 2011, undergoing six surgeries.
"You really do start to learn more about yourself and ... what makes you happy. If I didn't have that, I probably wouldn't be here with these beautiful women celebrating life," said Bracci, who was wearing a pair of 4-inch, black peep-toe heels decorated with bows.
As Bracci spoke, her friend, Shelli Watt, interjected, "I don't think you told me you had cancer."
"It's not something I talk about," Bracci said.
"All I know is that when I had my uterus removed, she was there," Watt said, embracing her friend.
Watt and Bracci positioned themselves at the front of the starting line when the horn sounded, signifying the start of the race.
Some runners at the back of the pack pranced cautiously, content with making their way slowly and carefully along Elmwood.
Others, like repeat runner Jacob Marsh, took off with a blazing start. Marsh entered this year's race eager to best his third-place finish at last year's run.
He did that, claiming first place in the men's division.
"Honestly, any research for cancer is a good cause, so why not support it?" said Marsh, who won the title in 5-inch platform stilettos.
First-place winner in the women's division, Melina Buck of Amherst, said venturing to the Stiletto Run for the second year in a row was no-brainer, considering it combined her favorite things.
"I love to run, and I love high heels, so I feel like it was made for me," she said.

FORT ERIE, Ont. – More than 100,000 NEXUS cards have been issued in the Buffalo-Niagara region to speed border crossings.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported Sunday that a youth hockey player from Niagara Falls, Ont. became the 100,000th NEXUS cardholder on Friday. An event was held to celebrate the milestone. Buffalo Sabres mascot Sabretooth and team announcer Rick Jeanneret presented 13-year-old Seth Hollett with a Sabres sweater.
The NEXUS program allows pre-screened, low-risk travelers to proceed with little or no delay into the United States and Canada through a designated lane at border crossings.
Travelers can apply for NEXUS online at www.cbp.gov.

Together, we have created a new way to produce coffee: one that is sustainable, transparent, and good for people and the planet. Now,
Starbucks has verified 99% of their coffee as ethically sourced, making them the largest coffee retailer to reach this milestone.
But there is always more to do. Starbucks is committed to 100% ethically sourced coffee and CI is a proud partner in this effort.
Together with Starbucks, CI is working on the ground with coffee farmers to promote environmentally and socially sound growing practices through the
C.A.F.E. Practices program, create new income streams from conservation and carbon markets and provide loans for sustainable enterprise development.
CI and Starbucks are working together to support the people and rich ecosystems of coffee growing regions.
C.A.F.E. Practices guidelines help farmers grow coffee in a way that's better for both people and the planet. Through ongoing monitoring and evaluation of our joint initiatives we are able to measure program performance, identify new challenges and opportunities and determine how best to expand our support for global coffee growing communities.
Coffee farmers can play a role in mitigating the impacts of climate change. Starbucks and CI are now investing in and supporting these communities who engage in climate-friendly activities to promote mutually beneficial forest conservation and carbon sequestration.
Starbucks is a key supporter of CI's
Verde Ventures fund, which provides loans to small- and medium-sized businesses, such as coffee farms with sustainable growing practices. Through Verde Ventures, Starbucks provides loan capital earmarked for coffee farmers, including those who are participating in the C.A.F.E. Practices program. To date, the program has helped over 30 coffee enterprises in five countries — affecting over 14,000 farmers and their families — and has directly conserved nearly 19,500 hectares (almost 46,960 acres) of land.

LEWISTOWN - On Tuesday afternoon, a group of students gathered in the choir room at Mifflin County High School to prepare for an event they described as "incredible" and "awesome."
For the first time, Mifflin County High School is hosting the PMEA District IV Chorus Festival. Sherry Morgan, MCHS choir director, said the event will run from Feb. 6 to 9 at the school, and more than 187 student vocalists from Mifflin, Juniata, Huntingdon, Centre, Fulton, Clinton and Clearfield counties will participate.
Hosting the event was a huge undertaking for students and staff, from choosing a guest conductor to recruiting host families for visiting students.

Paige Spicher, left, and Blake Yoder, cut out music note shapes Tuesday for decoration to be used at the PMEA District IV Chorus Festival at Mifflin County High School. The festival is Feb. 6 through 9 at MCHS.
"It's a year-long endeavor," Morgan said.
But students agreed that months of hard work are worth the experience.
"The whole attitude of the festival ... everyone wants to be here," said Mitch Matthews, MCHS student.
Blake Yoder, also a student at the school, said being a part of the chorus offers students the opportunity to perform with others who share the same passion for music.
To earn a chair in the choir, Mifflin County students said they participated in blind auditions with Morgan. Of those who auditioned, 22 local vocalists were chosen to perform in the festival.
The festival will begin Wednesday with auditions for the PMEA Region III Chorus Festival at Curwensville Area High School. Students said the top 10 vocalists each in soprano, tenor, alto and bass sections will move on to regionals.
The next two days will be spent in rehearsal with guest conductor Frank Bianchi from Baldwin Wallace University in Cleveland. Students will practice 10 musical selections of varying language and origin, including their favorite spiritual pieces.
"They're very expressive. They're just the most fun in general," Matthews said about spiritual selections.
A public choral performance will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, but Morgan said the public is also welcome to attend a performance at 7:30 p.m. Friday. Admission to the event is $5 for adults and $3 for students.
Some MCHS students will be participating in the festival for the first time this year, but choir veterans said they can attest to the quality of the district choral program.
"It's unlike anything you've ever heard before," said Kayla Buffington, MCHS student. "(The students') hearts are really in it."
Matthews said this will be his third district chorus experience, and he is anxious to see the size of the crowd the festival draws. He said past auditoriums have always been full, but the MCHS auditorium is the largest venue he has performed in.
"We are especially proud to be (hosting the festival) this year," Morgan said. "We appreciate (the community's) continued support of the arts."

isango! Travel Ideas for April – Spring Magic1
It's spring in most of the Northern Hemisphere. It is during this time, when the flowers bloom and the world is green and pretty with the promise of pleasures to come, that the travel bug bites.
Here are some exciting isango! picks of places to be this month.
Los Angeles, Southern California
The Oscar season is over but the stars will always shine in Los Angeles, the Entertainment Capital of the World. Visit Mann's Chinese Theatre's to see nearly 200 Hollywood celebrity handprints, footprints, and autographs embedded in the concrete of the forecourt. Stroll along the Hollywood Walk of Fame where some 2,500 celebrities are immortalised by stars on the sidewalk. Take a tour of the incredible mansions of Hollywood's superstars in the famous Bel Air, Beverly Hills and Holmby Hills districts and you will realise that the movies are really the biggest thing in this town.
Glamour and beauty is all around whether you are relaxing at the Venice Beach or are window shopping at Rodeo Drive. There is also charm and quaintness to be found in the small shops, stalls and cafés in the narrow passages of the Farmers' Market.
'I love Paris in the springtime,' sang the poet and he had every reason to do so. It is a magical time to be in Paris. The Paulownia trees and lavender are among a myriad flowers breaking out, in all their glory, in every garden and park. This is especially so of the Tuileries Garden and the Jardin du Luxembourg.
Spring also brings out the locals and kick starts the café culture. The alluring aroma of coffee and hot croissants is simply irresistible. The Paris springtime nights are magical and dinner in one of the many restaurants or cruise ships on the Seine will be etched long in the memory.
At this time of the year, the countryside around Paris is absolutely gorgeous. Take a day trip to the Champagne region of France. The geometrically ordered rows of grape vines marching across hillsides and encircling tiny picturesque French villages are the stuff of picture postcards.
The month of April is the best time to visit Japan. The country will be blanketed by the beautiful, delicate pink cherry blossoms (sakura). This collection of islands is absolutely packed with natural beauty and a gracious people who have created a unique and amazing cuisine. Japan has 16 World Heritage Sites reflecting an ancient history and a rich culture.
Among its countless splendours are the centuries old shrines and temples of Kyoto, which are national treasures and the finest symbols of Japanese heritage. A trip on the legendary Nozomi Bullet Train from Tokyo to Kyoto is an enthralling journey that goes past the iconic Mt. Fuji and scenic countryside. Tokyo is an eclectic mix of the old and the futuristic, best exemplified by wild street fashions, inspired by (and often outdoing) anime comics, and the wonderfully sedate ancient Geisha traditions.
Istanbul mirrors its vibrant history. Straddling the Bosphorus Strait, it links Asia with Europe. The city has evolved into a multi-cultural melting pot and the financial hub of the country. The minarets of the Blue Mosque and St. Sophia Church easily rub shoulders with modern skyscrapers and look down upon bustling shopping malls and restaurants.
The old city of Istanbul (once Constantinople) is where most of the famous historical sites of the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman periods are located. The new city is epitomised by the upmarket and trendy Taksim Square and Beyoglu in the Galata district (once home to Istanbul's Jews), which are a hive of flourishing art galleries, museums, bars, nightclubs, entertainment centres and restaurants. The action in Istanbul never stops and is in perpetual high-gear.
