- How to Read a Study Record
All patients who participate in this study will receive pazopanib. Pazopanib is an oral drug (pill) that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of advanced kidney cancer. In this study, the investigators plan to learn more about the way this drug works by using special scans (MRIs and Ultrasounds) to help evaluate how this drug is working on this disease. Approximately 20 people with advanced kidney cancer will be enrolled on this study.

After retiring from MMA in December, Lesnar made his return to WWE on April 2. On WWE television, they are currently running a storyline involving Lesnar quitting the popular pro wrestling organization. According to a source, White is not opposed to Brock returning to the UFC while still performing in WWE. No word on how Vince McMahon feels about that but he has allowed talents and announcers to mention UFC in recent weeks. Previously, any mention of "UFC" was banned on WWE television.
In eight mixed martial arts fights, Lesnar compiled a 5-3 record, winning the UFC heavyweight championship in his fourth fight and defending it twice. He lost his last two fights before announcing his retirement.
More on this breaking story as we get it.

October Gallery Stroll: Blonde Grizzly
by Gavin Sheehan
Posted // 2012-10-22 -
This month's Gallery Stroll was a bit of a surprise, as the downtown area had sparse activity, mostly pockets of people walking around, with no big groups. Which shouldn't be shocking, as it is now fall, but at the same time, it's not freezing fall. You could have thrown on a hoodie and been just fine -- further proof that Stroll needs to start setting up random coffee/hot chocolate vendors around the neighborhoods.
This month was mostly Halloween material that caught the eyes of art fans, as several galleries went all out for horror-themed works and artists, the biggest of the bunch being Blonde Grizzly, which launched its third annual Halloween showcase with over 30 local artists on the walls with their own take on pop-cultured items. Today, I chat with the owners about the brand-new space on Broadway and the exhibition you can check out throughout this month, which you can see in the photo I took in
this gallery here
Hillary, Caleb & Lily Barney
Gavin: Hey, guys. How have you both been since we last chatted for the blog?
Caleb: Good ... busy. We recently moved from Layton to South Salt Lake. We love our new house, but it took us a while to get settled.
Gavin: You've both become parents since the last interview. what has life been like with your new daughter?
Hillary: She is adorable. She changes every day -- learning new things, figuring out her boundaries, etc. We love being parents. And Bear, our dog, loves being a big brother.
Gavin: Getting to the shop, you became a success pretty quickly over the past few years. What did you think of the attention you received?
Caleb: Shocked. The attention/support is great. We love having the shop and gallery. We are doing what we love and think it's great other people love it, too.
Gavin: How was it for you to become one of the hottest galleries along Stroll every month?
Hillary: Well ... I don't about hottest, but we do always have cookies!
Gavin: You had done very well at the 400 South location. What made you decide to move?
Caleb: Our 4th South location was awesome. We loved the space and exposure we received there. Unfortunately, the space above us was apartments, and the people living there had a lot of water problems. The leaking water somehow worked its way in to our space every time there was an issue. They tried to fix the problem, but it never seemed to fully resolve. We had to get out of there.
Gavin: How did you come across the location on Broadway, and why did you decide to move there?
Hillary: When originally looking for spaces for Blonde Grizzly, we had looked into the spaces on Broadway. It didn't work out for us to be there originally, but we always thought it would be a good spot. After the last leaking incident, we thought we would check and see if any Broadway spots were available. Luckily, there were, so we jumped at the chance to be there. We always knew the Broadway location was a great spot. We loved the parking and the supporting businesses.
Gavin: What was it like moving everything in, and how has the new space worked out for you as a business?
Caleb: We had only a week to move out of the old space, move into the new space and set up for our first show. It was a crazy week! We couldn't have made it through without friends who helped us out. We like the set up of the new space. Having a separate store and gallery space is nice. We love that there is parking, and it's fun to be in the heart of Gallery Stroll. Unfortunately, sales haven't been as good as the old location. We are trying to figure that out and hope to be around as long as we can.
Gavin: What's the reaction been from artists and customers to the new space?
Hillary: People seem to like it. They are positive about the space and seem to think that we will do well here. Artists like the gallery space separate and feel like there is more room to display.
Gavin: On the T-shirt front, you've kind of become the local one-stop shop for geek wear in SLC. Who are some of the latest designers you've brought on board?
Caleb: We always have new stuff coming from Alex Pardee and his company Zerofriends. We also try and get as many local artists in the shop as we can. We have shirts from Panda Propaganda, Shark Robot ,and will be getting some new shirts in from HamburgrHotdog.
Gavin: You've also carried over a lot of the other materials, like books and smaller trinkets. What else can people check out in your shop that they may not know about?
Hillary: We do have some great artists books. You can also find prints from various artists, journals from Denik and many other things.
Black Dog Art
has moved into our basement. We are thrilled to have them. You can find all sorts of Skulls, Skellies and Dia de Los Muertos goods. Make sure and check out their shop in the basement when you come by.
Gavin: This month, you're throwing your third-annual Halloween show. How did this showcase start?
Caleb: We love having theme shows and enjoy seeing what the artists come up with. Being October, it just sort of worked out to do a Halloween/Monster show. We had great success in the years past with this show and want to continue it each year.
Gavin: Who have you selected for this year's display, and who are you most excited for people to check out?
Hillary: We have over 30 artists participating -- some you have seen before in our gallery, others are new to the gallery. We are excited for people to see the whole show all together. It's amazing to get so many artists showing their pieces, all at the same time. I think a lot of artists have a passion for Halloween and they seem to put their all into this show every year.
Gavin: How has it been working with Gallery Stroll and becoming a highlight to its program?
Caleb: We love Gallery Stroll. It's awesome to have one night when every gallery is open, showing a new show for the public to see. It's a great event and we appreciate the organizers of it.
Gavin: While we're on the topic, how is it being in an area with so many galleries and seeing the outpouring of talent?
Hillary: It's great. That is why we wanted to move to this location. We wanted to be closer to other galleries and shops. Being on 4th South, we weren't able to check out many other shows on Gallery Stroll night; it was hard to get away. Now that we are closer to other galleries, we can step out and check out what they are showing.
Gavin: What can we expect from both of you and the new location over the rest of the year?
Caleb: Of course there is the monster show in October. We will be taking a break in the month of November, so there will not be a new show. Then December is our 2nd annual Nutcracker Show curated by Vic Back.
Gavin: Aside from the obvious, is there anything you'd like to promote or plug?
Hillary: For sure check out Black Dog Art in our basement. If you are shopping on Broadway, make sure and check out Urban Vintage Antiques. It's an awesome store, and they have a little gallery in the basement open on Gallery Stroll. Buy local when you can. Gavin is awesome. Find us on
to get updates on our shows, etc.

Militant-Jihad-Free Zone: Oman
I wasn't posting last week because I was in Oman. And when in Oman for less than a week, well, you can't just surf the Internet.
(Or so I was repeatedly told whenever I checked my Blackberry. At one point, to get my attention, my daughter had to email me from her Blackberry even though we were traveling in the same car. Before you report me for child neglect, however, you should know that I'm talking about a college graduate here.)
Anyway, one of the attractions of Oman is that in spite of the fact that it is an Islamic country, it is virtually a militant-jihad-free zone.
From what I've been able to gather, no Omani has ever been caught participating in the jihad against coalition forces in Afghanistan or Iraq. While the 9/11 Commission claims that bin Laden recruited an Omani jihadist organization to join his Islamic Army Council, the predecessor organization to al Qaeda he created while living in the Sudan during the early 1990s, this Omani group could not have played a very significant role as it has since dropped off the radar screen.
There were also reportedly a few Omanis alleged to be members of al Qaeda that were arrested in Oman in 2002, as was a Kuwaiti-Canadian al Qaeda member who was caught perhaps on his way to Saudi Arabia, according to a Jamestown report. But exactly what these al Qaeda members were precisely doing in Oman is not known as nothing has been made public, aside from a report that at least some were extradited to U.S. custody (a report denied by Omani officials). From what I can tell, none of these jihadists have been seen or heard from since.
Perhaps the closest encounter Oman had with homegrown Islamic radicals occurred in 2004-5, when some 100-300 people were arrested in connection with a plot to violently disrupt an upcoming trade and culture festival in Oman's capital city, Muscat. The plotters reportedly objected to the festivities because they believed celebrations of this sort were unIslamic. But they vigorously asserted that they were loyal Ibadhis as opposed to Wahhabis or Salafis, the type of Muslims usually identified with al Qaeda.
And ultimately, the 31 persons that were ultimately convicted in connection with this alleged plot had their sentences, which ranged from one to twenty years, immediately pardoned by the Sultan who decided that in the end, they were just a bunch of misguided religious fanatics. (I'm putting words in the Sultan's mouth here, but that's essentially what he said.)
Now why would Oman be so uniquely free from militant jihadism as opposed to, say, its nearest neighbors, Saudi Arabia and Yemen? N. Janardhan, a Jamestown terrorism expert posits that this is because Oman is unique in that it is an Ibadhi Muslim country. That is, the de facto state religion of Oman is a branch of Islam that is Ibadhi, a branch of Islam that is neither Sunni nor Shiite. (Note that the de jure state religion is, however, simply Islam.)
So what is so special about Ibadhi Islam? The simple answer is that Ibadhis part ways with the rest of their coreligionists for pretty much the same reasons the Shiites separated from the Sunnis - because of irreconcilable differences over who should have led the early Muslim community.
Recall that after the Prophet Muhammed died, the Sunnis maintain that the leadership of the umma (Muslim community) correctly fell to the person who was best qualified. The Shiites, on the other hand, believe that this leadership position should have resided with the person who was most closely related to the Prophet. Since the Prophet had no sons, his closest relative was his cousin and son-in-law Ali, who did eventually become what the Sunnis call the 4th "rightly-guided imam" believing as they do that the first four imams (or leaders of the Muslim community) after the Prophet's death were truly divinely-inspired leaders - as opposed to those who came after them, who were well, less meritorious or pious.
The Ibadhis, like the Sunnis, also believe that merit should trump hereditary claims to leadership but reject the Sunni notion that these first four imams were all in fact "rightly guided." This is because the Ibadhis contend that the 3rd such imam, Uthman, introduced too many innovations into Islam. And they believe that the 4th imam, Ali, the Shiite favorite, should have been impeached the moment he agreed to negotiate with as opposed to defeat a group of Muslims who rebelled against him in what came to be called the First Muslim Civil War or Fitna.
The Ibadhis also believe (as do the Shiites) that the Koran was created as opposed to being the actual word of God.
Now I'm not sure whether any of this makes the Ibadhis truly less receptive to militant jihadism in the current era than their Sunni or Shiite counterparts today but the Ibadhis in Oman also seem to be a good deal more tolerant than say their Muslim brothers in next-door Saudi Arabia. Not only do Ibadhis have no problem worshipping at Sunni mosques (some 25 percent of Omanis are Sunnis - mostly the Balochis), but they let the Shiites in Oman build their own mosques as they please, and the Sultanate has even given its Christian and Hindu communities public land on which to build churches and temples. Guest workers in Oman of other faiths, while they have not yet been given real estate, are free to organize their own worship services. And, even more amazingly given the regional norms, while there is no discernible presence of Jews in Oman, it was was the first Gulf Cooperation Council country to host an Israeli prime minister - Yitzhak Rabin, in 1994.
Indeed there is certainly some privileging of Muslims in Oman - nonMuslims cannot proselytize, though informally they do, and Muslim women cannot marry nonMuslim men, though some probably end up doing that too, but compared to its neighbor to the west - and Iran, its neighbor across the Strait of Hormuz, Oman does indeed seem to be exceptionally tolerant.
Could this also be the reason it is remarkably free of militant jihadism?

Zack: Man, James Hetfield has one hell of a shiner. It looks like he took one in the face at the batting cage. Maybe this tattoo originally had Cliff Burton's face and this dude is going around killing members of Metallica so he can replace their tattoo with a tombstone. I think there was an episode of The Twilight Zone like that.Dr. Thorpe: I think I automatically hate anyone who likes Metallica enough to get this tattoo. I don't care if he spends all his free time working his ass off and direct-depositing his paychecks in my bank account. I don't care if he's the only one testifying on my behalf when I've been falsely accused of murder. I don't care if he comes over and installs mink siding on my house for free. He's still going to be my enemy.
Zack: Think about my scenario though. This tattoo is like a list of who he is going to kill. He HATES Metallica and they're going to pay for some vague injustice in the past. Like Loaded and Reloaded.
Dr. Thorpe: I guess that makes it a little better, but a twisted obsession with Metallica is still too much involvement with Metallica for me to swallow.
Zack: I'm not suggesting we be this guy's friend. But we can certainly respect his brand of dementia. More people need to develop mental illnesses that cause them to stalk and kill Metallica.
Dr. Thorpe: I wouldn't call that an illness, exactly.
Zack: Personality quirk?
Dr. Thorpe: I think not wanting to kill Metallica could be considered a personality quirk.
Zack:Well sure, who doesn't want to slice Lars Ulrich in half with a sickle? But fantasizing about it is one thing, devoting your life and most of the skin on your back to your crusade against Metallica goes beyond healthy hatred of Metallica.
Dr. Thorpe: Caller: "I met this girl, she's okay I guess... I mean, she's pretty great, but she doesn't have any desire to kill Metallica. She doesn't like them or anything, she just doesn't want to kill them."
Dr. Drew: "Was she abused as a child?"

Fashion SWAT... the fashion industry is obsessed with impracticality. We know that what designers create was never meant to be worn by the grimy masses, but that doesn't somehow diminish how ridiculous many of these costumes are. Make no mistake, they are costumes, and like a Halloween prize pageant we will turn our discerning gaze on the grievous fashion misfires of Paris, Milan, and New York. We're not pulling any punches, and we're definitely not interested in making any friends. We're Joan Rivers without Melissa Rivers to temper our screeching. We're the Fashion Police in jack boots. We are Fashion SWAT.

I think my grandma pulled some strings on the low
Thats between her and the lord I'll never know
from Big KRIT – Dreamin' Lyrics on Rap Genius
He came up with the idea that his deceased grandmother must have pulled some strings with the Big Man up in heaven, and that is what has gotten him to the current level of fame he has attained. He will never know if his grandmother helped him, but it makes him feel better about the situation… like he's doing it for her, so her efforts aren't wasted.

Comfortable if it is not too cold
January 24, 2012
I bought these for my wife, as I had already a pair of my own. The design and build quality is outstanding. They are very comfortable to wear, although a bit stiff right out of the box so they need a couple of days to break in. From then on you wouldn't know you're wearing gloves. Unfortunately, these aren't designed for very low temperatures, so just make sure you're aware of that, and if you skiing when it is cold or maybe even doing night skiing then maybe you should look at some alternatives. Otherwise, these are great gloves. My wife also says that they are very stylish, which is probably important to girls. I can't comment fully on their durability as this is the first season we have them; however, so far they look quite sturdy and appear to be able to last for a while. I was concerned about the white leather fading into grey pretty quickly, but nothing like that is happening. In summary, other than a bit of break in time and the low temperatures comfort, these are top of the line gloves that I would highly recommend.

Case | HBS Case Collection | February 2004 (Revised August 2004)
by Jeffrey T. Polzer and Elizabeth Kind
The senior managers of the India Design Center used 360-degree feedback to develop their team competencies. Now, three new managers are about to join their management team, and Ashok Kumar, director of the center, must decide how to integrate the new managers in a way that maintains the team's newfound trust and camaraderie. Describes the managers' work activities, including engineering, human resources, and finance responsibilities, to allow a diagnosis of how the managers can benefit from working together as a team. Also notes the challenges these managers face as they work with their bosses and counterparts at the company's headquarters in California, which is 13.5 time zones away. The team is one that could presumably benefit from better cross-functional coordination and communication regarding their collective relationship with the company's headquarters in California.

Cooke County —
GAINESVILLE – The North Central Texas College Horticulture department will be offering two new degree plans starting this fall.
One will be a marketable skills award in Landscape Design, while the second is a certificate in Sustainable Horticulture.
"A marketable skills award is kind of like a certificate in that it kind of pinpoints and targets a few classes that are absolutely necessary for the industry," NCTC Horticulture instructor Ashley Hartman explained. "From that, students can kind of stair-step into certificates or an Associate's degree."
The certificate in Sustainable Horticulture may be the only program of its nature in the entire state of Texas, according to Hartman.
"Being able to meet the needs of that industry and kind of train those that are entering the 'green' industry is really important," she said. "The whole premise of sustainability is just kind of to take care of our Earth and our land so it can take care of us, not only now but for future generations."
The program will feature five different classes including Introduction to Sustainable Ag, Greenhouse Management, Naturalistic Gardening, Food Crops and Small Farming.
"What we are planning to do is offer that class at several small farms and the farmers themselves will teach the class," Hartman said. "Students will be able to go through an entire growing season with the farmers. Everything from planting the seeds, tending the crops, harvesting them and then preparing them for market."
The marketable skills award in Landscape Design includes three classes.
The first is Landscape Design where students learn how to sketch out their landscaping ideas.
"I've had students take just that class in the past and then start their own businesses because it's such a thorough class," Hartman said. "There are not only students who want to enter the workforce in that class, but also hobbyists. So folks who just love to landscape and would like to take a class to know what they are doing in their own yards."
There is also a second-semester class in Advanced Landscape Design, which utilizes computer applications.
"Students take what they learned in the basic class and apply it using CAD programs," Hartman explained.
The third class is in Landscape Irrigation.
"Students learn all about drip irrigation and sprinkler systems, how to install them and how to plan for them so they can go on and receive their state certification," Hartman said.
The instructor said students do not have to take the classes in any certain order. Also, there are no prerequisites and no testing that has to be done to enter the program.
For more information on the Horticulture program at NCTC, contact Hartman at 940-668-7731 Ext. 4488 or by email at email@example.com.

Increasing goal congruence in project evaluation by introducing a strict market depreciation schedule
The economic accuracy of accrual-based managerial performance measures is most essential for value added investment decisions in decentralised firms. Contemporary EVA-literature often lends support to annuity-based depreciation schedules for accomplishing congruence between capital budgeting criteria, like NPV, and accounting measures, like ROI and RI. This is incongruent with the principal agent literature aiming at designing managerial incentive contracts. We introduce a strict market-based depreciation schedule which is shown to be superior to ordinary straight-line, annuity-based or IRR-based depreciation schedules. It gives the right managerial investment incentives also in the case of growth, inflation or technological development.Download Info

How about we
fly through the air with the greatest of ease at a trapeze class for two.
fly through the air with the greatest of ease at a trapeze class for two.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls—step right up for a daring date on the flying trapeze!
An acrobatic experience awaits at Trapeze Arts: a 10,000 square foot warehouse filled with enough circus supplies to score kudos from the Ringling Brothers, Barnum, and Bailey alike. During this introductory lesson, you two will hop into safety belts, hang by your knees on stationary bars, then proceed right up the ladder. After some execution and timing practice, you may even be ready to attempt a catch with their catcher.
Of course, this could be just the beginning of your love affair with the aerial arts... running away to join the circus is not an unheard of reaction.
Frenchman Jules Leotard invented the flying trapeze and made his eponymous costume famous.
Head to Oakland's immense Trapeze Arts building for some high-flying fun.
During this introductory lesson you'll find yourselves 25 feet above ground.
Get personalized attention in classes of no more than 8 students with 3 instructors.
No car? No problem. It's all a 10-minute walk from West Oakland BART.
One of only a handful of full-time circus schools in the country ...
Trapeze Arts has been teaching three-ring talents since 1994. Their well-padded warehouse is filled with a flying trapeze, trampolines, hoops, tissues, ropes, a tightwire, unicycles, and all kinds of juggling equipment. While many take classes for fun, they've trained folks for the big tops at Cirque du Soleil and Ringling Bros., and Barnum & Bailey.
Date includes a trapeze lesson for two from Trapeze Arts in Oakland.
Reservations available Tuesday at 6pm or 7:30pm, Wednesday at 6:30pm or 8pm, Thursday at 6pm or 7:30pm, Friday at 10am or 7:30pm, Saturday at 12pm or 1:30pm, and Sunday at 10:30am or 12pm.
