Recently named one of New York University's 15 most influential students, Chelsea Garbell was nominated primarily for her work with Bridges, a Jewish-Muslim dialogue group sponsored by the Bronfman Center at the school and an official school club (www.bridges.bronfmancenter.org). The Seattle Hebrew Academy and Northwest Yeshiva High School alumna acknowledges "interfaith work is certainly a huge passion of mine. "We've had women's dialogue events, panel discussions on conversion and Jerusalem [and] film screenings," she says. She hosts Friday events where Jewish students go to Jumah (Friday prayers) and Muslim students go to Shabbat services and dinner. Over winter break, 16 Bridges members volunteered in Birmingham, Ala., with Habitat for Humanity, and recently Bill Clinton mentioned the group on The View. "College is one of the few times when people who are different can interact with each other," she explains. Politics are avoided for program topics, but "the idea is to build relationships" so members can then talk about touchy subjects, "and still be friends." Chelsea — who seems to function on very little sleep — "bakes a lot" and recently prepared 30 shaloch manot (Purim goodie bags) that included homemade marshmallows, a venture that involved schlepping all over lower Manhattan in search of kosher gelatin. "I like giving gifts. It makes me happy," says the 22-year-old junior who is majoring in Media, Culture and Communication and minoring in Public Health and Policy. The Sunday after our talk, Chelsea headed to Abu Dhabi, UAE, to attend the Women as Global Leaders conference at Zayed University and spend a few days at NYU's campus there. Despite her interfaith work, she's planning a career in healthcare policy and has earned a fellowship and Capitol Hill internship with NYU's John Brademas Center for the Study of Congress. Chelsea was active in USY at Herzl-Ner Tamid, and did a gap year in Israel through the Conservative movement's Nativ program. Her family attends Shevet Achim and she describes herself as Modern Orthodox. Outside of school she's an "active advocate for Planned Parenthood," and her down time, she says, is the quintessential New York experience: "I see shows…I hang out with my friends and we drink wine and talk about religion a lot." • • • Bob Herschkowitz speaks frequently about his Holocaust experience, usually to students or church groups. But he brought his story to work recently, addressing the Boeing Everett Service Engineering Twin Aisle Group at their "Diversity Lunch and Learn Program" on January 26. It was standing-room only, with an audience of more than 80 overflowing into the hall, said Bob. Some, he reported, walked 25 minutes across campus to attend. He subsequently received a Boeing Recognition Award from the Diversity and Inclusion Team, acknowledging exceptional performance. Bob spoke of his childhood in Belgium, escape to France, and finally his crossing of the Swiss Alps on foot to freedom with his mother, father and baby brother. A Boeing employee since 1967, Bob has "worked on every airplane since the 707." He retired in 2000 to teach high school, but a contract job with a Boeing supplier brought him back into the workforce. When that assignment ended, he was hired back at Boeing's Everett facility as a service engineer, meaning he's part of what might be thought of as the "help desk." "It's like when you call AAA, or for help with your computer," he says, although considering the complexity of the machines involved, "it's not that simple." A past president of the Washington State Holocaust Education Resource Center, he is an active member of their speakers bureau. Bob also teaches history at Hebrew High, with modern history and the history of anti-Semitism being his favorite subjects. • • • Adm. Herb Bridge (Ret.) was honored on Feb. 4 at the 90th annual banquet of the Seattle Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League for his and his family's long-standing support of that organization. The event program contained a nice profile of Admiral Bridge, including a short list of his many, many civic involvements, his role in founding Seattle's Better Business Bureau, "countless hours" devoted to United Way and his work for low-income housing with the Seattle Housing Resources Group.

This ultra-low-budget slasher film apparently aspires to be a splattery horror parody, but it falls considerably short of its target thanks to a script that fails to exploit the comic possibilities of its premise. Perennial TV geek Toby Radloff plays Harold, a beleaguered simp who suffers constant rejection, embarrassment, and physical abuse at the hands of nearly everyone in town. Chief among his tormentors are a pair of local toughs (Tony Zanoni and Niko DePofi), his pretty but vacuous coworker Sally...more

What the heck happened to Google recipe search?
Not sure if you use Google to search for recipes as often as I do, but they recently added-- then inexplicably took away-- a cool new interactive search. About a week ago, if you typed RECIPES into Google search, you'd get pull-down menus asking you what kind of cuisine and daypart you were searching.
Does anyone have any idea why it's gone?
I've also used this site: http://theory.stanford.edu/~amitp/rec... Not affiliated with Google, but still a good search mechanism.
I've never seen the pull-down menus asking what type of cuisine you're looking for - maybe it's browser-specific? (I'm on IE6+ at both work and home.)

The North Hotelis a small, family-and-friends-run hotel in the city centre of Chiang Rai. The ownership is partly Thai, partly Norwegian. We aim at giving our guests good quality and personal service to a reasonable price. We are centrally located in a quiet street with the bus station and The Night Bazaar in one end, and Sirikorn [silikon] Market, the fruit and flower market on the other, and within walking distance from everywhere in downtown Chiang Rai.
We have 14 nicely decorated rooms, 13-14 m2, with TV and mini bar. All rooms have private facilities and most of them have a small balcony. Two of the rooms even have access directly to the backyard terrace.
Our kitchen is specializing in Thai northern style food, but you can also find other Thai dishes on our menu. The idea is to give you the experience of the everyday kitchen of the region, like the food you will be served when visiting a Thai home. As The North Hotel is supporting the sustainable and environmental-friendly agriculture, we carefully select our food suppliers. At present ca. 80% of the raw materials we use in our kitchen are grown with organic fertilizers and insecticides.
The Turntable Bar
Our cosy little lobby bar has a concept unique to Chiang Rai: Here you can relax with a drink when listening to parts of our huge collection of jazz records. We have selected recordings mostly from the time before the music industry took control over the musicians and their art. The music is played in a volume which still makes it able to have a conversation with your sideman. To make the atmosphere complete, there will also be a selection of jazz books available for you to browse through.
Located on the backyard terrace of the second floor we have a small library or book corner available for our hotel guests.
Roof terrace
If you want to elevate from the street level, the nicely arranged roof terrace can be what you are looking for ?but sun block is recommended!
The North Hotel is a non-smoking hotel.
Our environment
The North Hotel concerns about our environment. This has been a guideline for us during the whole planning and construction process. Practically all the timber we have used is recycled. The teak doors in the guest rooms are from young, farmed teak trees, and the hot water is produced from a solar heater system.

The Hover Hand — Or, How to Spot a Virgin (PICTURES)
It's a tough world out there for guys, with all the muscle-bound bros taking up all the womanly resources it's real hard to gain the strength each day to get out of bed, and put on yesterday's clothes just so you can go outside and attempt to talk to one of these soft and delicate creatures (no mom, I'm not talking about you!!!)
So what's a guy to do? We meet these badass babes and we need to document the evidence as it's probably going to serve us well in the defense of being called a homo, or whatever your brother's "cool" friends call you when you're busy pwning hella noobs in Counter-Strike (1.6, obviously. Source is for noobs!!!). Well to answer the question at the start of this paragraph, the best thing to do when you're getting that new Facebook profile picture is to pull what we call the "hover hand". It's a phenomenon only geeks are known to do, because we like to show women respect by not touching them. Because they don't like to be touched, even in a friendly, completely non-creepy way. Show them you're the caring dude your mom taught you to be!
Check out the gallery!
Update: Added more pics, and tracked down the source of most of these at bodybuilding.com forums

Great garden books, part 1
Garden writers recommend eight top garden books.
(Page 2 of 2)
In addition, Dee says, " 'Garden Anywhere,' by Alys Fowler (Chronicle Books, $24.95) shows you really can garden anywhere. I reviewed it on my blog awhile back. She has a charming style."
Skip to next paragraphRecent posts

'Gardening for a Lifetime'
Also recommending "Gardening for a Lifetime" is Karan Davis Cutler, who blogs here at Diggin' It: The subtitle explains it all, she says: How to Garden Wiser as You Grow Older.
"In addition to being a practical guide to making gardening less labor-intensive, it's an engrossing story of Sydney's Connecticut garden from its beginning in 1961 to 2010," Karan reports."While written with the older gardener in mind, it's a wonderful guide for anyone whose beds and borders have gotten out of hand.
"Sydney is a graceful writer, author of six other books, and the recipient of a truckload of horticultural awards," adds Karan. "Additionally, she's a seriously hands-on gardener; the creator of a garden that's been featured in magazines and is a regular stop for garden clubs, plant societies, and more. To wit, she knows about what she writes, and she writes with enthusiasm and style.."
"I second Karan's recommendation of Sydney Eddison's 'Gardening for a Lifetime,' " says Doreen Howard, who writes the gardening blog at the Old Farmer's Almanac website. "I read it to do the book review [for] The American Gardener, but was so struck by her wisdom that I ended up reading it again. We all slow down with age, some of us (like me) slow due to temporary injuries, and Eddison's lessons on gardening and life are almost the holy grail for gardening through time."
'Places for the Spirit'
One garden book that I did read this year and am happy to recommend is "Places for the Spirit" (Trinity University Press, $29.95). Subtitled Traditional African American Gardens, this evocative book is filled with black and white photographs taken by Vaughn Sills across the South over the past almost 20 years.
To non-Southerners, many of these gardens may appear to be mostly collections of random items strewn about. But look more closely, Professor Sills urges in her photos.
"I see a sense of both order and mystery," she says, "with visual and soul-satisfying contrast between open space and dense arrangements of plant life." Many of the objects in these yards and gardens (which may seem to the casual viewer to be ordinary) have symbolic and spiritual meanings going back centuries to andestral African homelands, she notes. Bottle trees, for instance, provide ceremonial protection.
The long introduction, by Lowry Pei, helps enlighten the reader to whom this subject matter is new. It's impossible to read this book, or even leaf through it casually, and not want to learn more about the traditions of African-American gardening and the meanings behind them -- the use of water, circles, pipes, and shiny objects, for instance..
"Places for the Spirit" is a beautiful and respectful introduction to these traditions and to those who are continuing them in their yards and gardens. What a joyful group of people and what a joy-filled book this is.
Judy Lowe is a long-time garden writer and blogger. Her latest book, about how to create many different types of herb theme gardens, has just been published.

1936 Sunbeam 347cc Model 14 (see text)
Registration no. OSL 660
Frame no. 22/543/0/700
Engine no. A24E547
Combining the 350cc Model 8's bottom-end and 90mm-stroke crankshaft with a 59mm-bore cylinder barrel resulted in a new 'Longstroke' 250 for 1933 - the Model 14. For the 1935 season the latter was superseded by an all-new 'high camshaft' design, the Model 16, only to return in 1936 in improved form following the 16's disappointing failure. To reduce costs, Burman gearboxes were fitted to many models, the revamped '14' included, but Sunbeam had built its reputation on superlative quality of construction and finish and was unable to drop its standards sufficiently to match its rivals for price. By this time the writing was on the wall for the Wolverhampton concern and in 1937 new owners Associated Motor Cycles took over. Production shifted to Plumstead where the existing range, including the Model 14, continued for a couple of years before new models were phased in. One of the last Sunbeam motorcycles to be built at the Sunbeamland factory in Wolverhampton, this Model 14 was fitted many years ago with a 347cc Model 8 engine dating from 1938. (It should be noted that the V5C registration document still records the original engine number and 250cc capacity). We are advised that the magneto has been overhauled and the fuel tank sealed, and that the machine benefits from a new carburettor float chamber and new clutch plates. Described as in generally good condition, it is offered with current road fund licence, MoT to November 2010 and Swansea V5C.

COPPA allows teachers to act on behalf of a parent during school activities online, but does not require them to do so. That is, the law does not require teachers to make decisions about the collection of their students' personal information.

When you go to sleep at night, chances are you've had a full meal earlier that evening, but every night almost one billion people in the world go to bed hungry. (1) There are over 30 million Americans that fall into this statistic, 13 million of them are children. While there are several assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC and the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), children are still going to bed hungry for various reasons, such as income just above the poverty line, that disqualifies a household for food stamps and other federal assistance. Undernourishment brings a set of problems that impact the person's ability to function and work in order to earn a living and improve their living conditions. Malnourished people suffer from weakened immune systems and fall victim to disease more readily. Undernourished children are also at a developmental risk that will impact them for their entire lives. The UN (United Nations) statistics on world hunger reveal that one out of seven people in the world don't have enough food to live a healthy and active life. In America, one out of four children lives in what is termed as food insecurity, which means not always having access to food. (1) Of all the statistics, the most alarming and devastating is the one posted on the Seed Programs International (SPI) website: "Every year more than 10 million children die of hunger and preventable diseases – that's over 30,000 per day and one every 5 seconds". (2)

The Sad Truth about the FDA Approval History
Most Americans trust that the food their family eats and the medications their doctors prescribe are safe and free of unwanted contaminates. This wide-scope view may be true, but when brought under the microscope of scrutiny, the guidelines that the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) uses may surprise and even scare you. (1) America has some of the most rigid guidelines for food and drug production in the world, and yet, these rules are far from perfect. In fact, in examining the FDA approval history, many claim that the FDA leans in the direction of the Big Pharma and Food Conglomerates when implementing these guidelines, instead of the American consumer. For example, in a recent CBS report on food production, it was discovered that the FDA has percentage tolerances for various foreign particles in US food products. (2) These particles include rat hair often found in peanuts and processed along with the nuts into peanut butter. Roach and other insect feces might be found in spices such as cinnamon. But wait, you may also find fly eggs in canned tomatoes since tomatoes seem to be a fruit fly's favorite reproduction medium. If these aren't enough to churn your stomach, consider the FDA's allowance of up to 12% mold in apples for applesauce and other canned apple products. Other insects and parasites often find their way into shelf products, but perhaps the most disconcerting particulates are non-animal, such as cigarette butts, sand, stones and even sticks.

The police going door to door, confiscating guns from honest citizens is hardly "a few gun laws." Besides being unconstitutional and immoral, it is quite dangerous for the officer. I know many otherwise law-abiding people who might shoot a police officer under these circumstances. I would imagine that many cops would refuse such service on the grounds that it was too dangerous.
As for AK, he is a soldier and not a cop. He does not have a clue. I have trained many ex-military for law enforcement. Some of them were the "only see black and white" kind of guys and they rarely made it as a police officer.
If a soldier refuses an order, he might be court martialed and shot. If an LEO refuses an order, he may be subject to discipline. Refusing an order because it is too dangerous, and assuming it is not normal police duties, will rarely result in discipline.
Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind, always.

CML-FAQ Frequently Asked Questions about Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

Statements contained herein are of a general nature and should not be construed as personal advice in lieu of recommendations by your physician or other relevant professional consultant
CML is shorthand for chronic myeloid, chronic myelocytic or chronic myelogenous leukemia (also known as chronic granulocytic leukemia or cgl) CML is a form of leukemia which affects the cells which make granulocytes (the polymorphs that eat bacteria) and the platelets (the little cells which help the blood to clot). In its early stages it produces an increase in the numbers of granulocytes and platelets but these cells still function normally and the patient may have no symptoms. This situation may continue for 3 or 4 years (known as chronic phase) and the disease may be unsuspected with the diagnosis made incidentally in the course of an insurance examination or a pre-anesthetic work-up. However, eventually the nature of the disease changes and CML starts to behave like other leukemias. These changes are called transformation and are often slight to start with (accelerated phase), but within 6 months or so usually progress to the full-blown leukemic picture (blast phase). Survival from the development of blast phase is usually measured in months. CML is one of the Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Disorders.
[ back to top ]
Patients often have nonspecific symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite or weight loss, or are diagnosed from blood studies done for other reasons. When patients are first seen, the spleen is usually moderately enlarged which can cause epigastric distress and a sense of fullness. Minor lymphadenopathy (minor problems with the lymph nodes) can occur but this is much less evident than in CLL. Hemostatis is rarely impaired until late, after "blastic transformation" develops or after therapy or the evolution of the disease leads to thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts). In patients who develop thrombocytosis (platelets greater than 1,000,000), homeostatic problems may be secondary to inadequate platelet function.
CML is generally considered in patients with an elevation in blood granulocyte concentration if the explanations of infection and inflammation aren't likely. The differential diagnosis includes the other myeloproliferative disorders, myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera, other causes of leukocytosis (inflammation or infection). The presence of enlarged spleen, the characteristic blood picture, bone marrow aspirate, leukocyte alkaline phosphatase test and the presence of the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome help in differentiation.
Granulocyte count of more than 30,000 (normal 4 - 8,000) with the cells maturing in an orderly fashion. Platelet count more than 400,000 (normal 150 - 350,000). The marrow is packed with large numbers of mature and maturing granulocytes. When the chromosomes of these cells are examined by cytogenetic tests, a particular type of deformed chromosome is discovered. This is known as the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph chromosome) and its presence is diagnostic of CML (although very rarely it can be found in other types of leukemia). However, a small percentage of CML patients are Ph negative. Unless the Ph chromosome or the BCR/ABL product can be detected, the correct diagnosis is not CML, and the patient has a different type of MPN.
BCR-ABL stands for the name given to an abnormal gene that is the result of a fusion of material from 2 chromosomes (22 and 9). In fact, this has everything to do with CML and the Philadelphia chromosome. This Philadelphia (PH) chromosome is an abnormal chromosome that results from an exchange of material (DNA) between the normal chromosomes 22 and 9. It is present in over 90% of CML cases. In chromosome 9, there is a gene called c-abl (from "Abelson"). A break occurs beside this gene, and it is translocated to a place in chromosome 22, called bcr (breakpoint cluster region). What happens then is the fusion of these two pieces of DNA, that gives rise to a fusion gene (bcr-abl). This fusion gene is involved in the pathogenesis of CML and possibly other leukemias (e.g. ALL). Also, it serves as a molecular marker of PH-positive cells, and is currently screened by PCR in the post-BMT period. Very interestingly, bcr-abl might prove useful as a target for specific treatment with antibodies directed to it. That, if feasible, would permit us to attack only the leukemic cells, sparing normal tissues from the damage caused by chemotherapy (which is not selective for leukemic tissue).
For many years, the only treatment for CML was palliation with the drug busulfan (a drug that reduces the number of white cells and platelets as well as red cells but does not slow down progression of the disease. Hydroxyurea was also used for this purpose.
Then it was found that interferon-alpha can control CML in about 80% of patients and reduces the Philadelphia chromosome in about 40%. Interferon-alpha does not cure CML but it did extend the time to progression from about 4 years for hydroxyurea to 12 or more years. An intractable problem was the side effects experienced at the doses used to treat CML. Next came combinations of interferon-alpha and ARA-C which were found to be superior to interferon alone.
But the advent of the first targeted therapy, imatinib (Gleevec) changed the face of CML treatment. This drug binds the bcr-abl protein and turns off its abnormal activity. It is first line therapy for newly diagnosed CML patients and many achieve complete hematologic and cytogenic remission. For detailed information about Gleevec in CML, go to http://www.newcmldrug.com/
In about 25% of patients treated with Gleevec, in time, additional cytogenic abnormalities develop that are not touched by Gleevec and patients relapse. The good news is second generation targeted therapies have been developed. Dasatinib is one.
Bone marrow transplantation is the only form of treatment which is known to improve survival and possibly cure CML. This is a high-risk, expensive procedure and carries with it complications such as graft-vs-host disease which can plague patients for some years. The risks are greater in older patients and in patients with very advanced disease. "Mini" transplants which use a less rigorous preparation have made it possible for older patients to undergo transplant. In good risk patients, treatment-related mortality in the best centers is between 10-15%. The results are worse in centers with less experience.

Patients who are found to be "hiding" Ph1+ cells or BCR-ABL rearrangements in their blood should not necessarily fear a comeback of CML. In fact, some patients harbor the BCR-ABL gene for years without ever showing signs of relapse. What seems to matter is is the amount and rate of accumulation of positive cells in the test, not simply their presence. This is what the researchers in the field of "minimal residual disease" call the "quantitative" PCR assay, which is done serially. Some centers use it as a tool for prediction of relapse, and recommend a new stem cell infusion early (as soon as a rising pattern is identified), so that CML mass is still small and more sensitive to treatment.
Interferon's are substances made by cells. They act by enhancing the immune functions of lymphocytes against viruses and some tumor cells. The interferon used for treatment of CML is a synthetic alpha-interferon. There is no doubt that this agent has a powerful effect against CML tumor cells, but the mechanisms by which this takes place are unknown. Some believe that it works by enhancing an existing immune response against malignant cells, but another possibility is that it interferes with transcription (the process whereby nucleic acids make each other and proteins).
During the first few weeks, one can expect fairly strong Flu-like symptoms: feverish, achy, joint pain, fatigue and difficulty in sleeping or vivid or anxiety-filled dreams, etc. Given time your body will learn to tolerate ifn and the symptoms will diminish. The ifn shots should be taken before bedtime to diminish discomfort. Most get side-effect relief by taking Tylenol or Extended Relief Tylenol a half hour before ifn shot. An anti-anxiety sleep aid such as Ambien, taken just before retiring also helps. After several months, when the side-effects of ifn have diminished, an occasional Tylenol may be required for aches or feverish feeling. The fatigue seems to be a constant. Some complain of disorientation or inability to concentrate. Obviously, strong side-effects should be discussed with your prescribing doctor. Dosage can be adjusted.
Hydrea is the commonly used name for hydroxyurea, an antimetabolite used to treat CML. Taken by mouth, it alters blood chemistry to reduce the number of white blood cells to a normal range. Like any other medicine, it has side effects. GI upset is not uncommon It is important to be monitored by your doctor while taking hydrea. Your immune system may be more fragile, and it is wise to avoid people with contagious illnesses or getting minor injuries. It is important to discuss any other immune system illnesses (e.g., shingles) you might have with your doctor. Very often drinking more water is suggested to make taking the drug easier on the kidneys. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask your doctor and/or pharmacist. The information you get here or elsewhere on the Internet in no way should replace a good relationship with medical professionals.
No. You must have a suitable donor. Most transplant centers will not treat you if you are older than 55 years, one center (Seattle) will accept patients up to the age of 65 years and another (M.D. Anderson) will not use transplantation as first treatment for patients older than 45 years. The chemo and radiation therapy required to destroy your marrow, prior to transplant of healthy marrow, and the drugs used to combat GVHD (graft vs host disease) places unusual stress on heart, lungs and liver. A candidate for successful donor transplant must have good heart, lung and liver function to withstand the treatment. Some centers will do autologous transplants on patients who are above the age limit for transplants using someone else's marrow and will also use stem cell transplants on older patients.
There's a tug-of-war going on between some insurance companies and hospitals with BMT patients caught in the middle. On the one hand, hospitals are striving to provide the most effective, state of the art health care for their patients. On the other hand, insurance companies are fighting to contain escalating health care costs. The patients are simply fighting to stay alive. There is a better chance of having insurance pay for your BMT is you participate in an approved clinical protocol at a major center. Between 1988 and 1991 more than 200 people were unable to undergo a BMT because their insurance company would not cover the cost of the procedure. Many more had their BMT delayed as they attempted to persuade insurers to pay for the BMT or tried to raise the funds on their own. The good news is that the situation is improving. The bad news is that persuading insurers to cover a BMT often involves a long, arduous fight a fight most BMT patients are unprepared to undertake alone.
A 1991 BMT Newsletter survey of transplant centers found that an autologous BMT-a BMT in which the patient is his/her own bone marrow donor-is the type of BMT most frequently resisted by insurance companies, particularly if it is for treatment of breast cancer or other solid tumors. The survey also found that, despite insurers' initial refusal to pre-approve an autologous BMT, correspondence from the patient's physician that included studies showing the effectiveness of BMT's in treating the patient's disease, second Opinions from other medical experts in the field, and evidence that other medical authorities endorse the practice was often successful in reversing the insurer's initial denial of BMT coverage. Intervention by employers and legal action have also been effective in compelling payment.
Insurance reimbursement for BMT's using mismatched donors (donors whose bone marrow is not a perfect genetic match with the patient's) was also cited by survey respondents as a problem. The costs incurred in locating a suitable bone marrow donor, performing physical exams on the donor, and extracting the donor's bone marrow were frequently cited by respondents as expenses insurance failed to reimburse. What's the bottom line? Don't assume your insurance company will cover any or all costs associated with your BMT. Knowing your rights, understanding your insurance policy, enlisting the help of your employer and having a physician who's willing to work closely with you to persuade your insurer to cover your BMT is essential. If you're one of the many persons whose insurance company will pay for your BMT without a fight, be thankful. If not, remember: when your insurance company says "no" don't take no for an answer.
The best donors are tissue-matched close relatives (brothers, sisters, parents). About 30% of patients in the USA will have such potential donors. The next-best choice is a tissue-matched volunteer unrelated donor. Using the large international panels such donors can be found for about 30% of patients in the USA although it is more difficult to find such donors for members of certain ethnic groups. It takes several months to search for and arrange the use of a volunteer unrelated donor. The process is complicated and expensive (many thousands of dollars), but most insurance companies will pay for the search.
This is a dangerous form of treatment and some patients die because of treatment complications. The risks are greater in older patients and in patients with more advanced disease. In the good-risk groups, the treatment related mortality during the first year after transplantation in the best centers is between 10% and 15%. This is about the same as mortality in newly diagnosed patients treated with hydrea. The results are worse in patients with more advanced disease and in centers with less experience.
Another problem is that not all patients are cured. During the first five years after transplant, the disease comes back (relapse) in about 20% of patients. Of patients transplanted in chronic phase within one year of diagnosis, about 50% will be alive without further treatment and without clinical and hematologic signs of disease at 8 years.
It is known that delay after diagnosis reduces the success rate after transplantation and there is now general agreement that young patients who have matched related donors should be transplanted as soon as possible after diagnosis. However, it is now clear that interferon treatment prolongs the survival of all patients and, in about 20% of patients, makes all signs of the disease disappear as long as the patients continues the treatment. This has produced some controversy as to the timing of transplantation for older patients, with some centers advocating delay of transplantation until patients have failed to respond to interferon (this demonstration usually takes at least one year), and others advocating early transplant for all patients.
Without interferon or a transplant the life expectancy has historically been 3 to 5 years after diagnosis. Interferon has been proven to significantly increase life expectancy and the combination of interferon and ARAC is believed to be superior to interferon alone. Autologous marrow or stem cell transplants, likewise, if successful engraftment takes place, extend life expectancy, but since the immune system has not been replaced (as with a donor transplant) are not currently curative. While a bone marrow transplant could return you to a normal life span there is the above mentioned possible mortality from the procedure.
Leukemia strikes both sexes and all ages. Causes of most cases are unknown. Persons with Down syndrome and certain other genetic abnormalities have higher than normal incidence of leukemia. It has also been linked to excessive exposure to ionizing radiation and to certain chemicals such as benzene, a commercially used toxic liquid that is also present in lead-free gasoline. Certain forms of leukemia and Lymphoma are caused by a retrovirus, HTLV-I (human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus-I).
CML is chromosomal/genetic but not hereditary. This means it is not caused by a gene being passed on. During the patient's lifetime, they somehow were exposed to something which damaged their genes. This resulted in the translocation of the 9 and 22 chromosome, and led to CML. However, there are familial incidences among 2 or more family members in other Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Disorders so the answer is not clear.
There is a subtle difference between the terms "remission" and "cure". Remission is a term coined by oncologists to designate a situation in which 1) the disease is undetectable by the diagnostic methods used, or 2) the disease is still detectable, but the amount of neoplastic cells is so small as not to produce symptoms. Let us give you some examples: In CML, we can define remissions by various criteria. The first is what we call "hematologic remission". That means, basically, that your blood counts are normal, and your bone marrow biopsy has the appearance of a normal one (normal cellularity, no abnormally looking cells, no fibrosis). If we go further and study the aspect of the chromosomes in your bone marrow cells (which we call doing a "karyotype analysis"), then we might find or not that famous abnormal chromosome called Philadelphia (PH), which is found in over 90% of CML cases and functions as a marker for the disease. If we can't find it, we say that the patient is in "cytogenetic remission". Recently, a new tool called "PCR" has emerged as the most sensitive test for abnormalities in the chromosomes of marrow cells. PCR (polymerase chain reaction) analysis can detect incredibly small quantities of abnormal genetic material in a suspension of cells, including pieces of the PH chromosome. When it can't, what ensues is "molecular remission". The significance of being in molecular remission is still not completely understood, since many transplanted patients remain, several years after BMT, in hematologic remission (asymptomatic, without disease manifestations) despite the stubborn presence of small amounts of PH-positive cells in their blood.
As you may already guess, cure is a very complex issue in this situation, because the possibility (at least, theoretically) of a relapse cannot be discarded. Anyway, cure is in itself a very simple concept for all of us, who know how bad having any disease is.
Bone marrow typing for the public is handled through area blood centers or the American Red Cross. To find out which in your area, you may call the National Marrow Donor Program at (800) 654-1247.
Currently it is a confusing system,with potential donors being asked to pay varying amounts of money for the right to be tested. For example, as of 8/96, it cost $175 to be typed in San Francisco, and $50 to by typed in San Jose, California. In Buffalo, NY potential donors are asked to participate in pharesis, which means several hours at the blood center having your blood filtered. (If you are Asian or African- American, the costs are waived.) Many times, when companies or institutions find out an employee has a disease that is responsive to BMTs, drives are arranged. These are often the best ways to become a donor.
The test to be HLA-typed involves drawing a small amount of blood. If you are a match, the donation procedure is more complex and will most likely involve an overnight stay in the hospital. the donor pays nothing toward the cost of the procedure. Donors need to be between the ages of 18 and 55, and relatively healthy.
When a cancer patient is searching for bone marrow, it is the stem cells contained within that are the key to treatment. Stem cells are the building blocks of red and white blood cells, and the foundation of the human immune system. But finding a bone marrow match is a difficult process, and, in the U.S., nearly half of the patients searching will die before they do. Now, new research shows that umbilical cord blood contains the same type of stem cells as bone marrow. The largest Cord Blood Bank is in NY, NY,you can see it at: CORD BLOOD PAGE For additional information, call the NY blood Center: 800-NY-BLOOOD or 212-570-3210.

V.O.D. (a.k.a. veno-occlusive disease of the liver) is a toxic reaction which sometimes can happen after high dose chemotherapy (not necessarily after BMT). The clinical picture is one of liver enlargement and tenderness, jaundice (yellow discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes) and weight gain (from the accumulation of fluids in body cavities - mostly the abdominal cavity - which we call ascites). The cause of the reaction is not completely understood, but is strongly related to some chemotherapeutic agents when used in high doses (e.g. Ara-C). What happens is that the small vessels that traverse the liver get clogged by thrombi, raising the pressure of the venous circulation in a retrograde fashion. In this way, every vein that drains its blood into the hepatic circulation (the portal system) becomes overloaded with blood. The rise in venous pressure causes the leakage of fluids into the abdomen and may cause enlargement of the spleen (an organ which empties its blood into the portal system too). V.O.D. can be a light, self-limited condition or, in the other extreme, a potentially life-threatening event. The treatment of VOD is controversial. It can be done with supportive measures like fluid restriction, use of diuretics and salt restriction. Or it can be actively treated with TPA, a drug that has the ability of dissolving formed thrombi. The risk of VOD is related to many factors, including the type and dose of drugs used for conditioning, the age of the patient, and mainly the state of his liver before the BMT.

A compound, designed to inhibit the Abl protein tyrosine kinase, was evaluated for its effects on cells containing the Bcr-Abl fusion protein. Cellular proliferation and tumor formation by Bcr-Abl-expressing cells were specifically inhibited by this compound. In colony-forming assays of peripheral blood or bone marrow from patients with CML, there was a 98% decrease in the number of bcrabl colonies formed but no inhibition of normal colony formation. This compound may be useful in the treatment of bcr-abl-positive leukemias.

Cities, states back off bonds amid budget concerns

Uncertainty about where their next dollar is coming from has chilled the municipal bond market, meaning cities and states will be breaking ground on fewer public works projects, canceling or delaying projects worth tens of billions of dollars and providing yet another blow to economic-recovery efforts. Through mid-August, the total value of municipal bonds issued [...]

Scott Elbert, Dodgers 2009 minor league pitcher of the year, still out without explanation but starting to throw in Phoenix
Reliever Ronald Belisario has disappeared without explanation, the Dodgers saying only it's a personal issue.
But Belisario is hardly the only member of the Dodgers' organization to leave without the team clarifying why he was suddenly gone.
Left-hander Scott Elbert, the Dodgers' 2009 minor league pitcher of the year, left triple-A Albuquerque on June 10 for a personal matter.
The team gave him permission to leave and placed him on the inactive list. The Isotopes haven't seen him since, and no further explanation of his situation has been offered.
On Thursday, bullpen coach Ken Howell said Elbert is back at the team's training facility in Phoenix and just starting to throw.
"He's coming to the ballpark, playing catch again," Howell said. "He's just trying to get back to the swing of things, and he's going to walk his way through it."
Whatever "it" is.
Elbert, 24, had a one-day call-up at the end of May, but the left-hander walked three left-handed-hitting Rockies in Colorado. The next day he was sent back to Albuquerque.
He made one more start in Albuquerque before being placed on the inactive list for what the team termed a family matter. Elbert's second child was born in April.
So Elbert, who lives near Phoenix, is back playing catch. Explanations still lacking, a timetable for his return still unknown.

Interesting concept but not my style. Sad you put put a free cheat sheet, no real challenge that way. Sideways layout with the ads is frustrating. Four stars, but uninstalled.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The 2008 Il Blu is an elegant, refined wine with lovely blueberry and blackberry aromas, leading to flavors of chocolate, blackberry and currant on the palate. Crafted with grapes from two of the estate vineyards, Brancaia Estate and Poppi Vineyard, this full-bodied blend has silky tannins and a long, lingering finish.
Blend: 50% Sangiovese, 45% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
"Aromas of black cherry, black currant and herbs carry through to the palate, along with cherry and raspberry flavors. Balanced and firm, with a touch of oak and a long finish. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2013 through 2024. Tasted twice, with consistent notes." 92 Points Wine Spectator
"The 2008 Il Blu hits the palate with a blast of dark fruit but then loses much of its intensity on the mid-palate. Dark red fruit and flowers linger on the finish. The 2008 shows good balance but is a far cry from some of the recent vintages that have been superb. This mid-weight, accessible Il Blu is best enjoyed in its youth. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018." 90 Points The Wine Advocate
La Brancaia, encompassing the two estates Brancaia and Poppi, has been owned by the Swiss couple Brigitte and Bruno Widmer since 1981.

More like a few books.
I don't think we can (or should) define this music. It is something you have to experience. But we can talk about it and learn about it. And most importantly, listen to the music. Books have been written and many more surely will be.
Regarding defining anything you have to shift to an intellectual/language mode, (versus a conscious experience mode), with it's limitatiions. I think too we are talking two related things...one is the music itself, and the other is the experience which often is positive enough that you want to talk to someone about it.
One of the reasons the music is so hard to define is that it is a new genre that includes jazz, bluegrass, country, blues, and later world music. You could say integral music. A lot of it could be considered straight up rock and roll, but it has its own sound. Then you add in extended ensemble improvization, creating in the moment live with an appreciative audience. It is always changing/devloping so it is like a continuing process, you can't nail it down.
It is a music that acknowledges the role of audience as an active participant in making not just the music, but the whole experience. Another factor in the experience equation is the various substances people use, that's a big one, and dancing.
It's a music that ranges from acapella harmonies to rocking, REALLY ROCKING.
So, without any definition or pigeon hole...I would describe the music as in a rock format, playing mostly original songs, but with some covers. It emphasizes live music over studio recordings. It emphasizes extended ensemble improvization. It features amazing songwriting by several musicians and, I believe, some of the best lyrics period.
Furthurmore, Grateful Dead music, over 30 years, went through a development and there are many different Grateful Dead "sounds." Furthur is playing the current Grateful Dead music and appears to be willing to go anywhere in the catalog.
So I don't think we can define it but we can name it, "Grateful Dead Music," and we can delve into as deep as we want to go. - DancingBear

To those who can hear it....its all things to all people.
Its music, simple and complex;
its creation
its inspiration
its imagination
its family
its friends,
its history
its a phenomena
its conscious
its subconscious
its spiritual,
its healing,
its flesh,
its a journey in your living room.
its an evolution in sound,
its a fun ride,
its a good time
its a reminder of what is truly important in this world
its memories,
its heaven on earth in a world gone crazy,
its the most complex weaving of sound, rhythms and antirhythms brought about by a group of just "guys" ever.
Its a log of "where you were when",
its exactly what it is and whatever you want it to be.Can't talk to you without talkin' to me. Were guilty of the same ol' things. - funky420

"Malk is foa Baybis" ~Ahnald Schwarzenegger
I think I have a plan. One issue with a lot of legit pharmaceutical anabolics is that they have little or no legitimate medical uses according to the FDA. So, if we could get some psychologists and psychiatrists to start diagnosing people who desire to train with PEDs and grow some real muscle as a legitimate disorder, then mebbe that would result in them prescribing the proper drug treatment for these "disorders". They could then leave the supplement companies alone.
I mean damn.....you can take a drug for every piss ant syndrome known to man as it is and new ones come out every day. On top of that, almost every one of them lists a LONG list of possible side effects and just about all of the more harsh ones list liver problems as one of the potential sides.
It's America people. Let us choose. I mean, it's perfectly legal to destroy your liver drinking alcohol. So, stop messing with my supplements.
You can bet your nuts (if you have not shrank them away or had them cut off) that IF the big pharm companies ever figure out a way to legitimize anabolic steroid usage on a large scale, there will be a push in Washington to change the laws. Life extension clinics, elite athlete clinics etc would flourish and make money. All you need is the right doctor and bloodwork to use PEDs healthily and sanely. Not to mention, you'd cut illegal drug dealers selling fake crap or contaminated/diluted crap and make training this way MUCH safer. And, doctors could give the real stuff and in proper dosages and stacks as opposed to some of the stuff you read about people doing.
As an ex cop, this makes MUCH more sense to me.
i would only put up with the banning of Steroids if alcohol and cigarettes were also banned and also every other drug with a side effect then i will live in peace, until then let me "kill" myself with steroids or i will go out and get AIDS to get a prescription to get on that GEAR

I gave up on the thought of PHs after 2005 when the Feds started to crack down. My biggest fear is to get on a PH and then it get banned and I end up on AAS.... So until we live in a world were roids are avail at your local Walgreens (I remember when 1AD was sold there!!) I'll be natty!
The America I want to live in conceal carry would be legal in every state and so would roids.
get married, balls arent that important anymore lol
I'm surprised a legislation like this was never worded to include any derivative of any known steroids before, this would certainly be the end all.
Unlike the 2004 ban which actually sucked as many of those drugs were relatively safe, I think we can all go ahead and just say goodnight sweet prince to PHs and call it a day. It is business as usual for just about every worthwhile company out there.
