Redefining Frosting & Cake
By now most of us are familiar with the definitions of frosting & cake. Frosting is the fun, bright stuff you make that doesn't match with much. Sewing cake means sewing basics, often simple & classic shapes in solid colors. I have a problem with this definition. Actual, edible cake is not an everyday thing- … Continue reading
The Foundation Garment Challenge
What is a foundation garment say you? A garment that goes beyond the simple, solid colors, materials, or construction of basic garments. Any garment that can anchor multiple outfits as the focal point. Often a garment upon which you can layer other things. The first criterion is the basic standard & can be paired … Continue reading
Combining Aesthetics with Foundation Garments
Since I decided to re-make my wardrobe, I started gathering all the patterns I like to see how they'd fit together. I didn't get far. It seems I'm doing a Jekyll & Hyde act with two distinct aesthetics: sleek & modern, antique & very feminine. The divide also separates media, with my chosen sewing projects … Continue reading

A Call to Remake My Wardrobe I've been thinking about making over my wardrobe for awhile (probably since Me Made May).

Sewing for the Life You Want
There has been a lot of talk around the blogosphere about sewing cake vs. frosting, ie basics that you can wear in your everyday life vs. fun things that you can't wear on a daily basis. I understand this sentiment- it's why I sewed a few basic t-shirts & skirts this summer. However, I also … Continue reading

WASHINGTON – Saddam Hussein will have protections accorded to prisoners of war as U.S. officials try to press him for information on the attacks on coalition forces, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld (search) says.
Rumsfeld said Sunday it was too early to know whether Saddam would take a hardened approach with interrogators or would cooperate, but he described Iraq's former leader as one who projected a tough-guy image but was captured as a wimp, cowering in a hole in the ground.
President Bush said in a brief television speech Sunday that Saddam's capture Saturday was "crucial to the rise of a free Iraq. It marks the end of the road for him, and for all who bullied and killed in his name."
Bush scheduled a meeting with an Iraqi medical delegation at the White House on Monday.
While U.S. officials are waiting to see whether the capture leads to an increase of insurgents' attacks against troops of the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq, there has been no indication that the domestic terror alert level will rise above yellow — the middle of a five-color scale.
Saddam was taken to an undisclosed location where, Rumsfeld said, "he would be accorded the privileges as though he were a prisoner of war — not that he necessarily is one."
If it is found that Saddam was involved in the attacks against coalition troops, he might be placed in a different category, Rumsfeld said, without elaboration.
"One need not worry that he'll be treated in a humane and professional way," governed by the Geneva Convention that spells out the treatment that prisoners must receive, the secretary said in a television interview.
The convention prohibits violence, cruelty and torture of prisoners, while also barring humiliating and degrading treatment.
There were conflicting clues as to whether Saddam was playing a major role in the attacks on coalition forces.
Maj. Gen. Raymond Odierno (search), whose 4th Infantry Division (search) troops caught Saddam, said the lack of communications equipment in his hide-out indicated Iraq's deposed leader was not commanding the resistance.
Conversely, soldiers found $750,000 in U.S. $100 bills in the raid and Rumsfeld said the money was related to the attacks. He accused "the Saddam Hussein family and his clique of intimates" of "providing money to people to go out and engage in acts against the coalition and against the Iraqi people."
During the arrest of Saddam, U.S. troops discovered "descriptive written material of significant value," another U.S. commander told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity. He declined to say whether the material related to the anti-coalition resistance.
Odierno told reporters that his soldiers were led to Saddam by an informant who was a member of a family close to the deposed leader. However, it was not clear whether anyone could claim the $25 million reward offered for information leading to Saddam's capture.
The first task of interrogators is to learn whether Saddam has knowledge of any impending guerrilla attacks planned against U.S. troops or Iraqis, intelligence officials said.
Officials also want to know where Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri and other remaining senior regime officials and insurgent leaders are hiding.
Rumsfeld said Saddam initially was not forthcoming with that type of information.
"He has not been cooperative in terms of talking or anything like that. He clearly was compliant or resigned ... as he was being examined and as he was being transferred from the hole to the transport that took him away. It's a bit early to try to characterize his demeanor," the defense secretary said.
Several U.S. officials portrayed Saddam as a coward, and Rumsfeld joined in.
"Here was a man who was photographed hundreds of times shooting off rifles, showing off how tough he was. In fact he wasn't very tough, he was cowering in a hole in the ground and had a pistol and didn't use it and certainly did not put up any fight at all," Rumsfeld said.
"He resulted in the death of an awful lot of Iraqi people and in the last analysis, he seemed not terribly brave."

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in developed countries, therefore be entitled to some kind of epidemic diseases, said Professor Dr. Svetomir Milic, Chief General Surgery Hospital in Belgrade, Serbia. This assertion is supported by the fact that every year millions of people become ill, and half a million people die from colon cancer.
This disease is the result of the modern way of life that involves a lot of seating, inadequate nutrition, insufficient intake of raw foods, fruits, vegetables and water and a lot of stress - explains Professor.
That cancer of the colon disease of the developed world, and is confirmed by the fact that it is very rare in Asia and Africa, while in developed countries it suffers from about 60 per 100,000 people.
Colon cancer does not occur immediately. It develops a very long time which is why regular examinations, especially in the elderly and people who are at higher risk of utmost importance. There is an increased risk in those who have close relatives suffering from colon cancer patients with ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, Hemorrhoids that do not have long to heal, but also in people who are overweight and whose diets low in fiber.
Our strongly recommendation is to use Altsberglotion - Hemorrhoids Cure, which in a very short period of time eliminate all persistent symptoms that cause Hemroids. The treatment is quick, safe and extremely effective.

On Federal Spending, Republicans Can't Blame the Democrats Anymore
February 21, 2003
Critics of Big Government are dismayed at how quickly the GOP has assumed the mantle of the Big Spending party -- and they blame President Bush for this dubious distinction.
- Discretionary federal spending for defense, foreign aid and domestic programs has been on a steady rise since 1998 -- in contrast with tight limits set by Republicans in the first years following their takeover of Congress in 1995.
- Total discretionary spending on domestic and defense programs for fiscal year 2003, which ends Sept. 30, will be nearly $100 billion above levels set just two years ago.
- The White House budget proposal for the coming fiscal year promises Medicare $400 billion more -- not less -- over the next 10 years, and the omnibus spending bill for this year makes a $54 billion commitment by raising payments to physicians over the same period.
- Education spending this year will be at least $53 billion -- 145 percent more than the first year of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich's reign.
The new bill also provides an 18 percent increase for the U.S. Agency for International Development -- including $403 million more than last year for child survival and health programs overseas.
In Senate floor debate on the omnibus bill last month, Democrats offered only amendments adding money -- without any offsetting subtractions.

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world. In today's edition:
- 200 Police Halt Church Construction in Vietnam
- 83-Year-Old Ten Commandments Plaque Can Stay
- Police Use Lure of Registration to Arrest Chinese Church Leaders
- Pope Warns Against 'Loss of Europe's Christian Heritage'
200 Police Halt Church Construction In Vietnam
Compass Direct
For the second time in three years, authorities in Thu Thiem district of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) halted the construction of a church building. This time, however, they did not destroy the initial construction, as Christians involved showed increased sophistication in their organizational skills. At 4 a.m. on June 9, Christian believers transported building materials to the construction site and, while one group gathered to pray, another constructed the temporary building's frame. At 7 a.m., an estimated 200 police arrived on the scene, but left after realizing they could not legally stop the building project. Police then sent a gang of troublemakers to the site, but efforts to provoke the praying Christians failed. The incident ended when authorities seized and hauled away all the building materials. Two weeks later, Catholic priests Peter Nguyen Huu Giai and Peter Phan Van Loi published an unprecedented "Letter of Solidarity with the Protestant Church in Vietnam" in which they expressed strong support for Christians involved in the Thu Thiem building project, as well persecuted Montagnard believers in the central highlands.
83-Year-Old Ten Commandments Plaque Can Stay
Religion News Service
An appellate court has ruled that a Ten Commandments plaque that has long hung on the facade of a Pennsylvania courthouse can remain there for the sake of historical preservation and does not constitute an official endorsement of religion. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that a reasonable person acquainted with the plaque's history would consider a ruling to leave it there as religiously neutral, not evangelical. The plaque has been attached to the Chester County Courthouse in since 1920. "We cannot ignore the inherently religious message of the Ten Commandments," wrote Judge Edward R. Becker. "However, we do not believe that there can never be a secular purpose for posting the Ten Commandments, or that the Ten Commandments are so overwhelmingly religious in nature that they will always be seen only as an endorsement of religion." Margaret Downey, a member of the Freethought Society of Greater Philadelphia, an atheist group that considers the plaque to be a violation of church-state separation, said she might appeal the case to the Supreme Court. Chester County Commissioner Andrew Dinniman, who is Jewish, disagreed, saying the commandments may be inspired by religion but have a place in the history of secular law, too.
Police Use Lure of Registration to Arrest Chinese Church Leaders
Voice of the Martyrs
Church leaders in Yunnan Province, China, were thrilled when police said they could get government registration for their church group. The group had sought registration, which would give legal sanction to their church meetings, since the Chinese government changed the church registration law in 1994. They were told to bring their leaders to a meeting to sign the needed documents, but when 12 leaders arrived, officers of the Public Security Bureau (PSB), the Court Marshall's office and the prosecutor's office awaited them. The 12 were arrested without warrants or required documentation. "Police say these are law-breakers," said a spokesman. "But this clearly shows that these are patriotic citizens trying to follow their country's laws if they can do so in good conscience." Eight of the leaders were sentenced to three years of "laogai," so-called re-education through labor. This sentence can be given in China without filing formal charges or a formal trial. The other four leaders were indicted and held for trial, which likely means they will face sentences longer than three years. During a 1997 "anti-cult" campaign, eight of the group's leaders were sent to a labor camp. Some were put on public display, where police encouraged passers-by to spit on them. "This is business-as-usual for the underground church in China," said the spokesman.
Pope Warns Against 'Loss of Europe's Christian Heritage'
Peggy Polk, Religion News Service
Appealing anew to the European Union to give formal recognition to the continent's Christian roots, Pope John Paul II has warned that the "loss of Europe's Christian memory and heritage" has serious consequences for society. The Roman Catholic pontiff said that growing secularism in Europe is causing a "kind of fear of the future," which he blamed for a falling birth rate, a decline in religious vocations and rejection of marriage. The pope's appeal was contained in a statement responding to concerns expressed by Europe's bishops at a meeting known as a synod. John Paul signed the document Saturday. Secretary general of the Synod of Bishops acknowledged at a news conference the release of the document was timed to coincide with discussion of a new European Union constitution. The Vatican was dismayed when a first draft of the preamble said that Europe was nourished by `Hellenic and Roman civilizations" and "the philosophical currents of the Enlightenment" but not specifically by Christianity. "I would like to mention in a particular way the loss of Europe's Christian memory and heritage, accompanied by a kind of practical agnosticism and religious indifference," the pope wrote. "It is no real surprise, then, that there are efforts to create a vision of Europe which ignores its religious heritage."

window weather stripping
A home owner from Kansas says:
August 3, 2012
Hello, trying to identify the following weatherstripping. Not sure the manufacturer. This stripping is on the casement window jamb not the sash. It has a bulb seal on a channel.
Tom from SWISCO responded:
August 3, 2012
Good afternoon! Thanks for posting. Have you seen our 58-055 Bubbleseal with Angled Base? This appears to be similar to your own. Do you think this could work?
A home owner from Maine says:
June 17, 2013
I can't find this profile bubble seal anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. Weatherstripping for Caradco casement window
Tom from SWISCO responded:
June 18, 2013
I've placed you into an existing discussion regarding this very same bubbleseal. As you can see above, we do not have an exact match. However, our 58-055 appears similar. Now, we can't say if it will work for certain, but we think it's a good place to start. Check it out and let me know if you agree.
A handy person from Missouri says:
June 10, 2015
I have the very same seal how did the 58-055 work as a replacement?

text: well i didnt know where else to put this... well ive been working on this peice for around 3 years now. its an annoying hobby of mine to carve fish out of antler with dremel tools (makes me smell like burning bodies but oh well). up until now all the peices ive done have been completely out of deer antler hence they have never been over 10 inches in size. however about 4 years ago i aquired some moose antler and thus i was able to create on the large scale. this peice is about 3 feet tall and 2 feet in diameter. the sailfish is about 1.5 feet long and the dolphin fish are about 3-5 inches. the flying fish are only about 1 inch long. anyway if anyone has ever seen a picture of the weed lines offshore then they know whats going on in this piece. just thought id share it with everyone before i sold it.

Talk:Stone of Erech
Revision as of 14:56, 29 October 2012 by KingAragorn (Talk | contribs)
The article on "Erech" already covers the Stone of Erech in full detail. The present "Stone of Erech" article is copied directly from the Encyclopedia of Arda, but to replace it would simply be a repeat of the information in the Erech article. I suggest that the "Stone of Erech" be changed into a redirect to "Erech" and the Stone of Erech image be incorporated into that article. This would combine a location (the hill) with an object/monument (the stone) but they are so synonymous that having two articles seems superfluous. --Gamling 23:54, 28 Oct 2012 (UTC)
- I agree about merging but I think they should be merged into this article, and not the other way around. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 14:26, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
- +1 Mith. "Stone of Erech" is the more notable concept.-- KingAragorn talk contribs edits email 14:56, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

I have spent three hours to get a coupon for 32" TV, I paid off the price, but was unable to registeter. Please, someone let me now what can I do. I paid the price by my credit card and now I need to pay it off. I do not need a Walmart shopping card. If they are not able to give me my 32" TV - I DEFINETLY NEED MY MONEY BACK ON TO MY CREDIT CARD. If not, I am concidering that as a fraud, and wanna my $105.84 plus compensation back.
I filed at ETC,I HOPE EVERYONE WHO WAS GIVEN WALMART GIFT CARDS DO THE SAME.
I have never heard of such an unorganized company! This is complete crap! For four days I've tried to enter my codes called 800 numbers and to no avail! Now I'm told I need to name time to go to the store and get it resolved! By those idiots!! They dont know a thing , who trains these people? Complete incompetence . Just because we pay a lower price we pay in customer service. Bad very bad!
went to walmart the night of thanksgiving, to get a TV for my daughter. and all I got was a raincheck. they told me to go online to register it and i can pick the TV up later. I have never had xo much trouble, so I called the 1877 number and nothing... then I finally got through 3 days later and the lady told me to call back in an hour that the system was down, really with all the confusion there system was down how can they help people get this done when they cant. this really sucks walmart shouldnt even had done this this year. to much hassel thankgiving was to be worry free not stress out. you need to come up with a better plan for next.
Went to Walmart on Thanksgiving to purchase mini Ipad, with 1 hour guarantee. First, the store charged me double for the item & didn't realize it until we left the store. Had to go back for the refund. Tried to register online. Couldn't get on website for 5 days. Called to number - couldn't get through. Went to the store on Wednesday with my receipts but the store didn't know what to do. I was told my access code was the number on the card. This is incorrect. My receipt doesn't have an access code - it was rung up on the register incorrectly by cashier. Tried registering tonight Wednesday but wouldn't go through. Couldn't get through hotline number until 10pm tonight & waiting on hold for 50 minutes. Was told the store needs to give me new access number but the store is now closed. This must be registered by 12 midnight tonight. Also called Corporate.
I went to the store today, to have some stupid girl tell me to call the 1-800 number! Like I hadn't already tried that 10 times!! To have the customer service manager tell me she didn't know what to do. These employee s need to be trained for god sakes!! Give them the tools they need to help customers. Shame on Walnart! I'll ya the $5 bucks more and go to Target next time!!
I called another Walmart store nearby last night to try to get a new 1 hour in store guarantee access code (my original on Thursday was not rung up correctly by the cashier) & she told me I have to go to original store & the manager should have instructed store customer service how to correct the problem & issue new card. She told me her manager in her store instructed staff on Friday.
I truly think Walmart did this 1 hour guarantee to get people in the store & will not deliver the product. Per Walmart's website, they had 5 million customers & added more 1 hour guarantees 21 this year. I don't think Walmart have enought products to deliver.
Shame on Walmart.....
im waiting on a phone have 1hourguarrantee card from store
The Ipad Mini Walmart put on sale (Price: $299+$100 gift card) on the day of Black Friday 2013 had "One Hour Guarantee". That means in that one hour guarantee period, whoever got the ticket of that item and paid for that item must have the item too. They cannot say the item is out of stock, and especially, they cannot say the item is out of stock when they already get paid for the item 17-18 days ago. And now they sent me an email showing they canceled my order saying the item is out of stock. When I paid for the item on Black Friday night(17-18 days ago), the item wasn't out of stock. On Black Friday, I stayed awake the whole night and got the ticket including excess code and paid for my iPad Mini, and registered my purchase online, and in few hours I already received the confirmation email from Walmart, which showed my order will be ready between 12/14/13 and 12/22/13 at my local Walmart store. And now on the 12/13/13, I received an email showed that Walmart issued $328.16 to gift card and canceled my order. I didn't stay awake the whole night on Black Friday to buy just Walmart gift card. If I want to buy just Walmart gift card, I can go to the store anytime and buy it.
I already bought the case cover for this ipad mini in first week of December, and emotionally attached to this item, and have been waiting for since I paid for my item(17-18 days ago). If Walmart wasn't sure whether that item would be "in stock or out of stock", the Walmart wasn't supposed to advertise "One Hour Guarantee" on the sale paper, and make customers paid for the item at the store right away. Now they don't want to refund the money either saying their system won't let them refund the money; moreover they issued gift cards.
It is really immoral if they cancel the order just like this saying the item is out of stock, especially in these type of cases.

- I was a Girl Scout all the way from Daisy to uh whatever the high school level is...oops.
- I sold Girl Scout cookies (when I still lived in Florida) from my backpack. I would load them up then inline-skate from house to house selling them.
- I went to Girl Scout camp nearly every summer till I was in high school.
- I worked at two Girl Scout camps in California.
Lately, Girl Scout cookies have been in the news. Everything from a Peanut Butter poisoning scare to the crappy economy affecting poor little Girl Scouts across the nation.
For one they say that due to the cost of packaging and shipping that the size and number of cookies in a box have shrunk. Gee I wonder how small a Thin Mint is now.
Mom, has reassured me that she will send me a box of Somoas, which are my favorite. (The coconut ones).
If I were to see a box of Girl Scout cookies here in Korea I don't know what I would do. Probably take a picture than buy a box or two. I am thinking the army bases have a stash of their own.
Well, here is to missing a slice of America!

Happy Thursday!
Have you seen the latest trend in the beauty world? Asian skincare has been hitting the market and it's been all over the place in the U.S.! Not only have I been into Asian beauty products for a while now, sheet masks has been my latest obsession! And when I say obsession, I mean I've been going kinda crazy at Sephora and Amazon ordering any masks that looks good to me esp ones with collagen. :) So when Petaluma & Co contacted me asking if I would like to receive some of their sheetmasks, I jumped on the chance to try different ones! I chose the ones below because they looked interested and I thought it would benefit me in a way. If you guys haven't heard of Petaluma & Co, they're a company based in San Fran that specializes in k-beauty products. The prices are awesome and they have complimentary shipping on all domestic orders!
Retail: $6
A mask specializing in the eye area with a unique twist of a mask that looks like a masquerade mask! haha.. With lace details plus the benefits of giving elasticity to the area plus moisturizing.
Retail: $9
A two-piece night set of a top and bottom to make a full mask. I am all about anti-aging and this mask is saturated with the facial essence that our skin needs to replenish and help it keep firm.
Disclaimer: Petaluma & Co did send me the complimentary products for a review.
But all honest opinions and thoughts expressed were my own.

Dar es Salaam City which is located along the coast of Indian Ocean is the commercial centre of Tanzania. It is linked to the interior of the country and other urban centres along the coast by both road and train network.
Dar es Salaam continued to serve as its capital, even when in 1964 Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form Tanzania. In 1973, however, provisions were made to relocate the capital to Dodoma a more centrally located city in Tanzania's interior. The relocation process has not yet been completed and Dar es Salaam remains Tanzania's primary city.
The following are the mayors of Dar es Salaam since 1924 to present;
1924–1964 Amir Abedi
1959 and 1960 Manilal Mathuradas Devani
1952 and 1956 Abdulkarim Karimjee
2000–2005 Kleist Sykes
2006–2010 Adam Kimbisa
2010–present Didas Massaburi
Dar es Salaam is the largest city and had a population of 3 million people in 2011. The metro population is expected to reach 5.12 million by 2020
The Tazara Railway and road network connect Dar es Salaam to the neighbouring country of Zambia and the interior of the country. Dala dalas are used by the majority of the population of Dar es Salaam.

Thermoelectrics: Basic Principles and New Materials Developments
Springer Berlin Heidelberg, Dec 1, 2010 - Technology & Engineering - 293 pages
The field of thermoelectrics has grown dramatically in recent years. In particular new and novel materials research has been undertaken and device applications have increased. In spite of this resurgence of interest there are very few books available that outline the basic concepts in this field. Thus it is necessary that a book be written that encompasses the basic theory and introduces some of the resent research into improved materials for solid-state cooling and power generation. Therefore the aim of this book is threefold. First, to present the basic theory of thermoelectricity. Both theoretical concepts and experimental aspects of the field of solid-state cooling and power generation are discussed. Second, to bridge the gap between theory and application. To this end, the techniques for producing good thermoelectric materials and module design issues are reviewed. Third, to present some of the research into new and novel materials that has drawn the attention of the scientific community. The book is intended as a reference to experimentalists working in the field; however, it will also prove useful to scientists corning into the field from other areas of research. It can also serve as a useful text for graduate students.

The Sectarianization book is now available!
Sectarianization: Mapping the New Politics of the Middle East is now available through Amazon, and Hurst Publishers. Sectarianization is a co-edited volume intended to disentangle the conventional argument that says long-standing sectarian strife is responsible for much of the instability in the Middle East. This breakthrough publication takes in-depth case studies from the region, written by some of the most notable names in Middle East studies, to push back against this conventional argument.
One of the first reviews of the book was done by television and radio producer Usman Butt at Muftah. Read the review here.

The Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education – KCSE 2016 results have been released by the Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi.
The CS released the results at Shimo la Tewa High School in Mombasa County, saying that the examinations were credible in contrast to the KSCE 2015 results which had over 5000 documented cases of malpractice.
Read Also: KCSE Exams Update: MPs Among Candidates, One Casualty Recorded
A total of 577 000 candidates that wrote the 2016 KCSE would be receiving their results on Thursday December 29.
The results were however poor compared to that of last year with only 141 candidates managing to score a mean grade of A-plain. A major drop from the 2,636 candidates who attained the grade last year.
CS Matiangi further revealed that only 88,928 candidates attained C-plus and above compared to last year which had 169,492 candidates with C-plus and above.
The poor performance in this year's results could be a direct link to the level of cheating and leakages clouding the examinations system in Kenya over the past few years.

The Education boss however singled out Alliance Girls High School and Kenya High School for posting what he termed as honest and consistent results every year.
President Uhuru Kenyatta lauded Dr. Matiangi for delivering credible KCSE 2016 results, noting the change in this year's performance.
The President in his statement to newsrooms said the results had a normal performance curve – a clear indication that the examinations marking and final results are credible.
He further urged the CS to speed up the implementation of the Education Information Management System as it would ensure that education data in the country is accurate, current and available to facilitate decision making and deployment of resources.

Determining the right patients for neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy
Heather Payne
Dr Payne emphasizes the complexity of treatment decisions for high-risk prostate cancer: there is no standard definition of "high risk", and this group may include locally advanced and localized tumours with Gleason score ≥ 8 or PSA ≥ 20 ng/mL. Several treatments are recommended. Whether the best agent for long-term adjuvant androgen suppression is LHRH or GnRH is under investigation.
Determining the right patients for neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy - Heather Payne
Francesco Montorsi: Dr Payne is going to discuss for you the talk, the title "Determining the right patients for neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy". We are happy to have you here with us, Heather, and the floor is yours.
Thank you; I am always very happy to be at the EAU. It is a great pleasure, and also to be talking about radiotherapy for high risk prostate cancer.
These are my disclosures.
ADT and high-risk prostate cancer
High-risk prostate cancer. We are taking it back a step and these are men that I truly believe we can make a big difference to, because these are men that we can potentially cure.
What do we mean by "high-risk"? There are several definitions. To me it is anybody who has a locally advanced tumour or localised, with a Gleason grade above 8 or a PSA above 20.
They are termed high-risk because these men give us two challenges when we treat them: they have a higher risk of disease outside the capsule, even if you can't see it on conventional imaging and they have a high risk of microscopic metastases. These are the chaps who need combined modality treatment.
The standard has been radiotherapy with neoadjuvant concomitant and adjuvant hormones and even if I wasn't standing here I would have to say that I am a rather enthusiastic backseat urologist, because I think for many of these men now that we are looking at complete multimodal therapy, starting with perhaps a radical prostatectomy and then going on with adjuvant treatment with radiotherapy and/or hormones, but it is an individual approach and I think there are highly selected patients who will benefit from initial de-bulking surgery.
I am going to talk mainly this evening about hormones and radiotherapy.
Rationale for neoadjuvant ADT plus RT in high-risk prostate cancer
Why do we give hormones with our radiotherapy? The first thing to think about is neoadjuvant hormone treatment, giving treatment for three to four months prior to radical radiation. Why do we do this? It shrinks the tumour and it shrinks the prostate beautifully by about 25 to 50%. This enables us to give more focussed radiotherapy with less dose going to the surrounding rectum and bladder.
Neoadjuvant treatment continuing during radiotherapy has been shown to give better outcomes than radiotherapy alone.
Case History 1
I have a case for you as well. This is an older man. He is a nice chap, he is 76, he used to be a mathematics teacher and he is extremely fit; he likes playing golf and he went to his GP because he was having difficulty getting round a whole round of golf without needing to find a convenience. He had these worsening lower urinary tract symptoms.
He was 76, he lived in the UK, he had never had a PSA blood test. He went along to his doctor; he found a large and very irregular feeling prostate gland. His first PSA was 38 and he was referred to a urology clinical for further assessment.
He had an MRI scan which showed an enlarged, 80 cc prostate gland. Sadly on imaging there was a tumour extending outside the capsule and into both seminal vesicles, but his lymph nodes were negative.
There was no evidence of bone metastases on the MRI scan or, indeed, the bone scan, so he was staged as T3B N0M0.
He underwent biopsies and all 12 cores showed Gleason 5+4. This is high risk prostate cancer and his IPSS was 14.
Keypad question: What therapy would you advise?
What would you do with this 76 year old man who has this enlarged prostate, high-risk disease, Gleason line? He is 76. Would you watch and wait? Number two would you just give him hormone treatment continuously? Would you give him intermittent hormone treatment? Would you give him radical radiotherapy with neoadjuvant and adjuvant hormones or radical prostatectomy and adjuvant treatment? Please vote now.
What do my colleagues think? He is 76? Borderline for a radical prostatectomy with local and advanced disease?
Francesco Montorsi: It depends, you said that he was very fit – if 76 is the age on the passport, but the biological age is 66, you are asking the wrong person; I would certainly take the prostate out.
Heather Payne: Admittedly he is a very fit 76 year old.
However, the decision that we made with him was that he was going to have radical radiotherapy with neoadjuvant and adjuvant hormone treatment. He did go through the MDT and was seen by my urological colleagues, but there were some concerns about operating on him so he came to me.
I treated him with bicalutamide for four weeks to prevent testosterone and potential tumour flare and then he was treated with a GnRH agonist after two weeks. He was commenced on an alpha blocker for his lower urinary tract symptoms. Of course surgery would have been the ultimate treatment for that; we could have improved his outflow obstruction.
Key trials of neoadjuvant ADT plus RT
Does neoadjuvant hormone therapy work? We talked about the theory behind that. We have a number of studies that show us that there are significant benefits by giving neoadjuvant ADT. The first study, the RTOG 86-10, with 10 years to follow-up and four months of ADT duration showed improvement in disease specific mortality, disease-free survival and biochemical failure, but made no impact on overall survival or median survival time. Is that because the treatment time was, in fact, too short for high risk patients?
TROG 96.01: Neoadjuvant ADT (3 or 6 months) plus RT vs RT alone
This study, the TROG 96.01 looked at no hormone treatment, radiotherapy alone, radiotherapy plus three months of ADT versus radiotherapy versus six months of ADT, and in this trial that was goserelin. These are interesting data.
TROG 96.01: 10 year all-cause mortality
If you look on this Kaplan-Meier, the red line at the top is radiotherapy alone, and we are looking at all-cause mortality over time. The blue line is three months of androgen deprivation therapy and the green one is six months. You can see from this there was a significant improvement with six months ADT and radiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone, given in this neoadjuvant setting. There was a difference between three and six months, with six months showing more benefit than three months. It seems like a longer time of hormone treatment is better.
Neoadjuvant ADT: Is biochemical response before RT more important than duration?
This study by Alexander changed my practice. I love this study. It was looking at is duration of hormones important or is the important factor the PSA nadir? He shows in this trial, looking at three months versus eight months of neoadjuvant hormones, that there was a significant difference in biochemical disease-free survival for those men who had a PSA nadir of less than 0.1, irrespective of the duration of their hormone treatment and that was particularly so for the men with high-risk disease.
My chap comes back at three months. His PSA is 2.2 and we would like it to be below 0.1 if possible. His testosterone is 1.9 and so his testosterone is not suppressed. He continues to have lower urinary tract symptoms and on a repeat MRI scan he also continues to have an enlarged prostate with bulky tumour.
Keypad question: What would you do next?
What would you do next? He has had his three months of hormones, would you just 1) get on with the radiotherapy, 2) would you continue for a further three months? Sometimes you see more shrinkage if you continue for six months rather than three. Would you add bicalutamide to achieve combined androgen blockade, because his testosterone is not suppressed, or would you change him to an antagonist such as degarelix? Please vote now.
What do my colleagues on the Panel think of that?
Michiel Sedelaar: I think your concern this time is not even his PSA, although we would have loved it to lower, but I think your concern is your testosterone and getting it to an antagonist could really get the testosterone down and achieve the effect you want to have, just prior to radiation.
Heather Payne: It is a very interesting vote. I will tell you what I did, was to add bicalutamide, because at that time we didn't have degarelix available for neoadjuvant hormone treatment. Given the choice, I would be in total agreement with the majority of the people in this room because given the choice I would have changed him to degarelix. Why would I do that?
Degarelix as neoadjuvant hormone therapy
Why would I do that? Degarelix we know has a direct mechanism of action. There is a more rapid suppression of FSH, LH and testosterone and a more rapid suppression of PSA.
CS30: Degarelix vs goserelin plus antiandrogen flare protection as neoadjuvant ADT in prostate cancer
This study, the CS30, looked at patients in just this situation – for men having neoadjuvant hormone therapy prior to radiotherapy for intermediate or high risk prostate cancer. They were randomised to degarelix for three months versus goserelin with bicalutamide for the first 14 days to prevent testosterone and potential tumour flare.
The primary objective was the mean percentage reduction in total prostate volume, and this was shown to be non-inferior with degarelix as it was with goserelin and bicalutamide, both showing a reduction of 35/36% in the total prostate volume.
CS30: Significant reduction in IPSS with degarelix
There is also, and this is very interesting, that with degarelix you get this immediate action and a significant reduction in IPSS and that is important with radiotherapy because when we start treatment a lot of these men get some prostate swelling and their urinary symptoms, their LUTS worsen further. To be able to reduce their urinary symptoms in the pre-radiotherapy period, is highly important; it prevents them going into retention during treatment and makes the treatment much easier for them.
CS30: LUTS relief in symptomatic patients
As you can see here, the mean IPSS change is significantly more for degarelix than goserelin. Taking that on, what was the relief of LUTS in symptomatic patients – again greatly improved with degarelix versus goserelin and bicalutamide.
CS30: Summary
From the CS30 study it showed that degarelix is non-inferior to goserelin plus flare treatment in reducing the total prostate volume over a three month period and it seemed to provide greater relief in IPSS and LUTS, which may reduce symptoms during radiotherapy.
For that reason, given the choice, I would have then converted the man to degarelix, but I didn't.
He continued with his agonist and bicalutamide for a further three months. His PSA did go down very nicely with combined androgen blockade, although his testosterone was still elevated, it was being blocked from having any effect. He then proceeded with radical radiotherapy and at that time we were giving 7.5 weeks 74 Gray of treatment.
He tolerated radiotherapy well with the very focussed ?R chemotherapy. He comes back to clinic and says "What happens now? Can I stop the hormones or do you need to continue?"
This is a man, if you remember Gleason 9, T3B disease, how long after radiotherapy would you advise he continues with adjuvant hormones? Three months/six months/18 months/two years or three years? Please vote now.
That is a very evidence-based answer. What do we know?
Adjuvant ADT plus RT versus RT in high-risk PCa: 10 year results
This is one of my favourite topics – adjuvant hormone treatment after radiotherapy because this has made a huge difference; this has changed practice for men with locally advanced prostate cancer and high-risk.
We have a number of studies: we have the RTOG 85-31 with more than 10 years of follow-up and a difference in overall survival over 10 years of 49 versus 39%, but this study used indefinite hormone treatment, indefinite goserelin and obviously there is a price to pay for that and a cost from being on hormone treatment for the rest of your life with non-metastatic disease.
The other US study, the RTOG 92-02, antiandrogen for four months before and during radiotherapy and then men were randomised to two years of adjuvant versus no further adjuvant treatment. Again, significant benefits in overall survival for those men with high-risk disease with Gleason 8 and above.
EORTC 22863: RT + concomitant and adjuvant ADT vs RT alone
In this study, the Bolla trial, locally advanced prostate cancer, men randomised to radiotherapy alone, or radiotherapy and goserelin for three years, starting at the beginning of their radiotherapy treatment. It is important to say with all these studies that these men would have been given probably an LH-RH agonist at that time, when they relapsed, so it wasn't hormones versus none, it was very much the timing of the hormones in the adjuvant setting.
EORTC 22863: Improved overall survival with RT + ADT
The Bolla study is showing this hugely significant improvement in overall survival with radiotherapy and hormones at 10 years; a 40% improvement in overall survival.
EORTC 22863: Decreased prostate cancer mortality with RT + ADT
The decreased prostate cancer mortality with radiotherapy and hormones was the reason for the overall survival differences. You were less likely to die with prostate cancer if you had three years of immediate hormones rather than none at the time and then be treated for relapse.
EORTC -22961: Superior survival with long-term adjuvant ADT
In this study then Bolla looked at six months versus three years of adjuvant hormones and found that in this situation, in the 22961 study, that six months was inferior to three years. We have the 92-02 with two years adjuvant, we have the Bolla main study with three years adjuvant.
EORTC-22961: Increased overall survival and reduced prostate cancer mortality with long term adjuvant ADT
This is just showing the second study looking at short term and long term androgen suppression with a reduction in short term androgen suppression both from overall survival and deaths from prostate cancer.
Adjuvant ADT: 18 vs 36 months (PCS IV trial)
This study was reported at GU ASCO a couple of years ago and this may become the new standard of care. Instead at the moment it is between two and three years, this study looked at the difference between 18 months and 36 months of adjuvant treatment and showed that 18 months was non-inferior to 36 months, but it was thought a little longer follow-up was needed.
Case History
My man: T3B prostate cancer, Gleason line, no metastases. Six months neoadjuvant hormones, radical radiotherapy. Three years of adjuvant hormones and it is now five years since completing his radiotherapy I am pleased to say that his testosterone has returned to within normal limits, but despite that his PSA remains beautifully suppressed at 0.9, his LUTS are stable and he still enjoys a good round of golf. I think he can get round the whole course now, which is a great benefit to him.
The question at the beginning, would surgery have given him a better result? I think he has had a great result. What we don't know yet is what multi-modality therapy would do and I think that is something that we are going to see increasingly in the future.
There are two slides that I would just like to mention, of a new study, a new EORTC study which is the 1414. This is a Phase 3, randomised study comparing radiation plus long term androgen suppression with a GnRH antagonist versus an LHRH agonist plus flare protection in this very group of men, in the high-risk localised, or locally advanced prostate cancer. This is going to be a direct comparison between agonist and antagonist.
EORTC 1414 – Trial design
At this time of the day it is a rather busy slide, but just showing that these are men with M0 disease, PSA about 10 and two risk factors of either PSA above 20, Gleason 8, T3-4, testosterone greater than 200 and age less than 80.
They are going to be treated to 78 Gray, which is now standard with radiotherapy and then will have comparison of the two different hormone regimes.
One of the other endpoints of this study is going to be looking at cardiovascular risk and looking at what happens to these men from the point of view of cardiovascular disease in the future. Therein lies another whole area of extreme interest. I know that is something that our next speaker is going to talk about. Thank you very much.
Francesco Montorsi: This was a very excellent talk that made a number of points. As I am sure that the majority of the audience is composed of urologists, think about when you go back to the hotel the role of PSA screening. We have two cases where the first, less than 50 years of age he was found with badly metastatic disease, so the whole issue of the first PSA at the age of 40 should perhaps be reconsidered. Also, the same story with this gentleman of 76 years old which presented with his first PSA done at that age. I am not saying this is right or wrong, but clearly it is something that we should think about.

Hot tickets: Mags' Super Bowl parties draw 'em in with skin
Published January 30, 2006
Lad mags have replaced the NFL itself as purveyors for the most popular corporate parties during Super Bowl week, using sex to draw athletes, Hollywood stars and middle-aged businessmen to their elaborate shindigs.
|Ravens QB Kyle Boller with Playmates at
Playboy's Super Bowl party last year.
Last year, a seller on eBay made $2,000 selling passes to the multimillion-dollar Maxim affair in Jacksonville that proved to be fake, magazine officials said. The 1,800 real tickets are distributed free by Maxim to advertisers and VIPs, but the after-market is well established, with Maxim and Playboy party tickets for sale on eBay last week for $1,750 apiece. Security is so tight for the parties that the magazines do not divulge their locations to the public or media.
"It's not even about the game anymore," said Robert Tuchman, president of TSE Sports & Entertainment, which handles Super Bowl hospitality for Fortune 500 companies. "Guys are looking to go out and have fun; they're looking to hang out with celebrities."
He described the late-night parties, most of which take place in trendy nightclubs, as a guilt-free way for men in their 40s and 50s to relive their wild and crazy single days.
Playboy began the trend with its first party in 2000 in Atlanta. "It was a bunch of guys gawking at Playmates," Tuchman said. "People paid $1,000 to get in."
Maxim, Playboy and even Sports Illustrated — which three years ago began hyping its swimsuit edition at the Super Bowl — will all use sex in varying degrees of subtlety to woo VIPs to their events.
SI uses its party largely as a sales-development tool, as advertisers are able to purchase discounted Super Bowl packages from the magazine that include game tickets and party invites. The party and swimsuit theme this year also are sponsored by Anheuser-Busch.
Maxim also uses party tickets as a perk for its clients, but the event has become so popular that it serves more as a branding tool that reaches the entire advertising and media community, which converges in the Super Bowl city and is always looking for entrée to the hottest night spots.
Aside from the adult magazines, though, no one wants to admit that they're putting a sexy stamp on their events.
SI will deploy its swimsuit models to conjure up "tasteful sex appeal," said Jeff Price, chief marketing officer and president of SI Digital. "Tasteful" is a word that Anheuser-Busch's Tony Ponturo also repeated several times in a joint interview promoting Anheuser-Busch's sponsorship of the swimsuit issue and related parties.
Amy Newman, executive creative director of Maxim, protested that its themed affairs are more about "Hollywood glamour and glitz" than sex. Its "Maxim Rock City" party will simulate a "Tommy"-like rock opera atmosphere this year.
Yet one past attendee, an NFL employee, recalled a Maxim party where "they had [scantily clad] girls on swings hanging from the ceiling."
That sex appeal is the theme is no surprise, said Kim Willis, senior director of marketing for ESPN The Magazine, which will hold a comparatively chaste party on Friday night.
"It's really the niche their magazines fill," she said. "It's truly their brands brought to life."

League has asked the interim government to set all detainees, netted during the
anti-corruption drive, free before releasing BNP leader Tarique Rahman.
It also termed the anti-corruption drive of the military-backed interim administration as eyewash and alleged it was designed to downgrade Awami League to the level of BNP.
government has lost its legal and moral rights to keep politicians behind bars
if the symbol of corruption is granted bail in all 13 cases,' Awami League
acting party general secretary Syed Ashraful Islam told reporters Saturday
after a meeting of the party presidium.
He also questioned the transparency and motive of the anti-corruption drive. He said the main objective of the post-January 11, 2007 government was to salvage the BNP-Jamaat alliance and equalise it with Awami League.
Acting party president Zillur Rahman presided over the meeting at his Gulshan residence. Presidium members Amir Hossain Amu, Suranjit Sengupta and Matia Chowdhury were present at the meeting.

EducationGraduate of San Rafael High School (Class of 2012), Class Salutatorian (4.63/3.99 weighted/unweighted GPA)
Third Year Regents Scholar and Microbiology Major at UC Davis, member of University Honors Program (UC Davis), Deans List (College of Biological Sciences), member of Phi Sigma Society, Delta Gamma Chapter (National Biological Sciences Honors Society).
ExperienceAs a recent high school graduate, I have a lot of relevant and current knowledge and experience about high school subject material (particularly at the honors level), SAT/AP tests, and the college application process. Over the course of my college career, I have developed proficiency in a wide range of topics, especially those relating to the biological sciences. Specifics include:
--Previous experience tutoring middle school and high school mathematics, SAT (both reasoning test and subject tests), and biology. In the past two years, I have tutored a number of students specifically based on their SAT test needs.
--Currently working as an SAT Math specialist teacher/tutor with Ivy Review, Inc.
--2320 SAT score on first attempt (790 math/790 writing/740 critical reading)
--SAT subject test scores: 740 Biology; 790 US History; 720 Math II; 720 Literature
--Score of 5 on all AP tests taken: Biology, US History, Environmental Science, Language and Composition, Literature and Composition, Calculus AB
--Completed AP courses in subjects listed above, honors courses for Physics, Chemistry, Physiology, Precalculus/Trigonometry, Algebra 2, Geometry
--Accepted to four UCs with Regents Scholarship/Honors Scholarship offers: UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC San Diego
--Waitlisted at Harvard, Columbia University
--Currently a peer assistant with the University Honors Program at UC Davis, of which I have also been a member since 2012.
--Research Assistant in zoonotic disease lab with UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine
--Presenter, 2015 UC Davis Undergraduate Research Conference (feel free to ask me about my research!)
I greatly enjoy tutoring students who are willing to learn. I understand that despite a teacher's best efforts, in some cases subject material simply doesn't "click" the first few times a student encounters it, and that is not a failure on the part of the student. My proficiency as a tutor is to approach subject material at the level a student needing help understands it, and explore different explanations to help that student master the topic(s) that they are struggling with. I am patient and willing to listen to and understand students' questions, and I am happy to keep trying alternate teaching styles until I can help a student find the method that "clicks" for them.
HobbiesI'm a dedicated student in college, but I enjoy not being cooped up in my room all day with my nose buried in textbooks. I've participated in a variety of intramural sports at UC Davis from soccer to dodgeball to inner tube water polo, and I've even been a member of the UC Davis fencing team. I'm an avid Bay Area sports fan (go Giants!), a writing enthusiast, and enjoy playing piano and video games when time allows. I enjoy movies in theaters and at home, and good friends who are willing to watch and laugh along with me while playing cards or board games as well.
At UC Davis, I am passionate about my studies in microbiology, and have taken a great interest (since high school) in infectious diseases. I have dedicated my upper division elective coursework to understanding the nature bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites and how they spread between hosts. In particular, I am fascinated by the topic of zoonotic diseases, or diseases capable of spreading between animals and humans. I am a student researcher in a lab focusing on zoonotic diseases in the School of Veterinary Medicine at UC Davis, and have conducted guided but independent research. I plan on pursuing my passion for understanding and combating infectious diseases in graduate school, with the hope of earning a Masters in Public Health and a PhD in a field related to my current research.
