This is a report from the ASCO News about a study that was just presented in Chicago. Looking at the addition of regional node irradiation (meaning radiating the lymph node/axillary area in addition to the breast) made a positive difference in survival for women with one to three positive lymph nodes.
Here is the report and a link:
The therapeutic benefits of adding regional node irradiation (RNI) to breast-conserving surgery plus whole breast irradiation (WBI) and chemotherapy outweigh the additional toxicities for women with early breast cancer (Abstract LBA1003). Timothy Whelan, BM, BCh, MSc, of the Juravinski Cancer Centre at Hamilton Health Sciences, Canada, presented data from the National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group protocol MA.20 on behalf of his colleagues during the Breast Cancer — Triplenegative/Cytotoxics/Local Therapy Oral Abstract Session yesterday.The goal of this Intergroup study was to establish the role of chest wall and regional node irradiation for women with one to three positive axillary lymph nodes. Women with highrisk, node-negative breast cancer were also eligible. All patients with node-positive disease were treated with level one and two axillary dissection, adjuvant chemotherapy, and/or endocrine therapy. The patients were stratified by number of axillary nodes removed, number of positive nodes, and type of adjuvant therapy, and were then randomly assigned to WBI (916 women) or WBI plus RNI to the internal mammary, supraclavicular, and apical axillary lymph nodes (916 women).A protocol-specified interim analysis of the primary endpoint, which was overall survival, was undertaken at 5 years. Because the death rate was low, the analysis was expanded to include relapse patterns, distant disease-free survival, and toxicity. The efficacy analysis was performed on an intention- to-treat basis and the safety analysis was based on actual treatment. Median follow-up was 62 months. The addition of RNI to WBI alone had a positive outcome on a number of secondary endpoints.Disease-free survival was improved (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.67; 95% CI [0.52, 0.87]; p = 0.003, stratified; 5-year risk: 89.7% and 84.0%, respectively).Isolated locoregional disease-free survival was prolonged (HR: 0.58, 95% CI [0.37, 0.92]; p = 0.02, stratified; 5-year risk: 96.8% and 94.5%, respectively).Distant disease-free survival was extended (HR: 0.64; 95% CI [0.47, 0.85]; p = 0.002, stratified; 5-year risk: 92.4% and 87.0% respectively).A trend toward improved overall survival was observed (HR: 0.76; 95% CI [0.56, 1.03]; p = 0.07, stratified; 5-year risk: 92.3% and 90.7% respectively). The survival curves began to diverge at about 18 months of follow up.The addition of RNI to WBI alone was associated with a significant increase in adverse events, mostly of grade 2 severity. Acute adverse effects included pneumonitis (1.3% and 0.2%, respectively, p = 0.01) and radiation dermatitis (50% and 40%, respectively, p < 0.001); delayed lymphedema was observed in 7% and 4% of the patients, respectively (p = 0.004). Patient-rated adverse cosmetic outcome increased over time in both treatment groups; at 5 years the difference between the RNI group (36%) and the WBI-alone group (29%) reached significance (p = 0.047). In closing, Dr. Whelan stated that the results warrant offering RNI to all women with nodepositive disease. Thomas A. Buchholz, MD, of the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, agreed in his opening comments that the results of MA.20 have major clinical implications and are most certainly practice changing, emphasizing that the benefits of RNI are additional to those already established for WBI plus adjuvant chemotherapy.Dr. Buchholz characterized the effect of RNI on distant metastases as surprising, but suggestive that RNI will improve overall survival with further follow up and, therefore, the benefits of adding RNI to standard therapy clearly outweigh the risks. Other clinical implications to be considered are that RNI may exclude patients from receiving hypofractional radiotherapy and complicate postmastectomy reconstructive options. Another obvious implication is that more patients will be receiving treatment.Dr. Buchholz acknowledged the value of RNI, but deemed that the population of "all women with one to three positive nodes" is a heterogeneous group with different risks for relapse, so accrual of additional data to facilitate subanalyses, especially of the group of patients who have low risk for residual regional disease, is necessary before RNI should be made a general recommendation.

I did a track workout--and had serious GI distress. I felt like crap, so I cut it back and headed into the office. 2 x 800 (7:45, 7:49) and 2 x 400 (7:48, 7:44). I screwed up the garmin--so the distance and time is a complete swag.
Plank day 14. I thought about counting yesterday's core workout as day 14--but decided not to. This was the first time I did the first three minutes without a break!
Worked on PF quite a bit today.
Walking around between games at Water Polo
Walked before the run
I did the core/stretching class at Oakwood. Celine is out on vacation-so Robyn did the class. She is a former gymnast. She is all about functional strength through increasing range of motion, while attacking muscle not normally used. Not high intensity--but very things like my hip flexors are seriously barking.
After dinner I did my planks--Day 13.
First true swim workout in a pool in years. I've gotten slow. :-(
200 Wu; 200 kick; 200 pull; Then MS of 10 x 100 at 2:15. In my mind, I thought "well I'll take it easy and do the set at 2:00. Stunned at the first 100....
50 kick CD; 100 CD.
Plank challenge day 12. I did this at 11 pm while watching the TdF.

3 R&D powers to advance display technology
Washington, D.C. – DuPont, Sarnoff Corp. and Bell Labs have agreed to develop new organic-thin film transistor (organic-TFT) technology on plastic substrates in a three-year research initiative sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Advanced Technology Program.
DuPont Displays research and development leader Dalen Keys said organic-TFTs could offer major advances in commercializing future generation flexible display devices such as full-color polymer-based active matrix OLED (AM-OLED) displays.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs, a pioneer in organic thin film transistors, will be subcontracted to develop a new class of organic-TFT materials and design processes, Keys said. The technical collaboration combines Bell Labs know-how with DuPont expertise in OLED display panels, flexible substrates, cost-effective printing and organic-TFT technologies, and Sarnoff's expertise in active matrix TFT designs and video display systems.
Using advanced polymer materials, OLEDs produce bright, high-contrast display panels with fast refresh rates and a wide viewing angle. OLED panels are emissive, eliminating the need for the backlight required in display technologies such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Their striking appearance and thin profile will help many manufacturers differentiate their products.
"Today the development of a cost-effective back plane technology on flexible substrate represents a formidable challenge," said Keys. "With the combined skills, knowledge and capabilities of all three organizations, this partnership has the potential to revolutionize the displays industry."

After Market Focus Mk2 Spoiler
Posted 21 February 2013 - 05:36 PM
Can anyone help me out here...?
Some time last year just gone, I have found a spoiler to go on a Ford Focus mk2 on ebay which look's ok but I can tell if most of you lot would say it's a after market spoiler...? the spoiler is temporarily formed on top of the boot spoiler by a form of glue base and it's tricky to remove it I've been told by the shop owner who is selling this spoiler on ebay. it's worth looking at it for fun
The big question I want to ask by you guys is... Will it have any affect on say my own car insurance e.g. ?
Hope you guys will help me with some idea's/answers for me...?

Is it easy or hard to replace the original roof spoiler for an ST Spoiler...?
Thanks guys...
George Hartas.
Posted 21 February 2013 - 10:11 PM
One thing you'll need to do is make sure that when you buy the spoiler that you get an ST brake light too as they're a different shape from the standard Mk2 ones and also ensure you get the connecting plug with a few inches of cable connected.
There are two black wires to the brake light but no the Mk2 the live one is slightly thicker.
May be advisable to pick Brigante's brain as he has fitted an ST one.
Posted 21 February 2013 - 10:30 PM
Look out for bargains too, think I picked mine up for 60-80quid
As Clive says, he's written a guide on fitting a mk2.5/st spoiler and it's what I used when fitting mine. It's bang on n easy to follow, although not that you need it that much as it is a really easy job to do.
Few bolts, couple of clips n pull the washer hose off. Refit in reverse n job done.
As Clive says, the ST brake light has a different plug to the standard mk2 brake light plug. On the mk2 brake light wires, the live is a fair bit thicker than the earth so its easily distinguished which is which.
But on the ST brake light wire both wires are thin.
Still a very easy job though, hack the plugs off each brake light wire, n splice the mk2 brake light plug onto the ST brake light.
Its pot luck whether it'll work straight away so first temporarily tape one of the ST brake light wires to the earth wire of the MK2 plug, then do the live wires.
Get someone to press the brake pedal for you or jam a screwdriver on it while you look at the brake light, if it lights up then job done.
If it don't, release the brake pedal n undo the temporary taping. Swap the wires over then tape em up permanently nice n tight cause its gotta be the right way round now.
Press the brake pedal again n watch it light up.
Bolt the spoiler back on n job done.
Stand back n admire your work
Posted 22 February 2013 - 11:13 AM
I'll use your compliments if I'm definitely gonna buy the Spoiler
I'll put the finished product up on here to show you all what it looks like within my mind. p.s. as you can see on my profile pic. The boot spoiler as standard of the hole car it self lol.
Posted 23 February 2013 - 06:41 AM
Trust me when I say that the lines of the car are much improved when swapping that black carbuncle of an original spoiler with a 2.5 or ST spoiler.
My car looks far better with a colour matched 2.5 one fitted.
Posted 23 February 2013 - 09:26 AM
I'll keep you all posted in what I'm intended doing next to my car...
Oh! Just a another quick question. Say I went to my local TCH Ford Garage and say to one of them, is it possible to fit black tinted windows for a 06 reg Focus compare to some of the modern Ford vehicles in which they do have them on...?

Naughty Pics On Your Phone?………………………….Read This.
March 6th, 2014
A Los Angeles woman is suing Sprint Corp., contending that one of its workers browsed through her trade-in phone, found photographs of her engaged in sex and posted them on her Facebook page.
The woman, identified in the lawsuit only as J. Johnson, said the Sprint employee used the Facebook application on her old phone to upload the photographs and make them visible to her friends, family and co-workers.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, seeks unspecified damages for invasion of privacy, infliction of emotional distress and identity theft.
"It was very embarrassing, shocking, traumatizing," said S. Mohammad "Mike" Kazerouni, the woman's attorney. "I think it's disgusting. I can't fathom why someone would want to put up intimate pictures of someone they've never met on their Facebook page."
Sprint said it is looking into the allegations.
"Protecting customer privacy is of the utmost importance to Sprint. We take these matters very seriously," Sprint spokeswoman Stephanie Vinge Walsh said in an email. "We intend to fully investigate this matter."
Johnson said she traded in her HTC EVO telephone at the Sprint store on Melrose Avenue in April 2013 and was assured by a worker that its contents would be wiped clean. She had forgotten that the two intimate photos were among more than 5,000 on her old phone, her lawyer said.
About one month later, a friend called Johnson to tell her that compromising photographs had been posted on her Facebook page. Johnson and a man are naked in the photographs and both of their faces are visible, Kazerouni said.
The man, identified in the lawsuit as D. Green, is also suing Sprint.
Johnson said Sprint told her the telephone had been sent to a plant in Louisville to be refurbished. Her lawsuit alleges that an unidentified Sprint employee accessed the photographs at the Louisville plant and used the phone's Facebook application to post them on her Facebook news feed.

March 6th, 2014
Paternity test results show there is a 99.999 percent chance Michael Jackson fathered Brandon Howard. The results were revealed during a live-streamed press conference FilmOn.com.
"This is the only living son of the late Michael Jackson that is known to exist," one of the panelists said, hinting at questions about Michael's other children's true paternity.
Corey Feldman, who was close friends with Michael Jackson, added of Brandon, "I've never met two people more alike in my life. The first time he came into my house, I felt like Michael Jackson was walking into my house today."
Rumors about Michael Jackson fathering Brandon have been around for years, largely because of the story's feasibility: Brandon — who goes by B. Howard — is a 31-year-old singer and producer. His mother, Miki Howard, was represented by Joe Jackson in the early 1980s. She commonly went by "Billy" back in those days. Shortly after Brandon was born, Michael released Billie Jean, which contains the lyric "the kid is not my son."

March 6th, 2014

The 27-year-old actress will appear on the April 14 episode of the series, which is in its third season.

iPod Classic gets stay of execution
This month marks the 10-year anniversary of the hard drive-based iPod that started it all. During today's iPhone press event, Apple mentioned the iPod milestone, but neglected to say a single thing about its direct descendent, the iPod Classic. The omission led to speculation that the age of the hard-drive iPod was finally at an end.

General Guidelines
As a friend of another Catawba College student, you have a unique opportunity to positively impact your friend's life. When a student is upset or in distress, s/he commonly turns to friends for support or advice. College students generally like to help out their friends. Much of the time, this works out well and your input helps your friend through her/his problem. At other times the problems that are brought by a friend can be very intense, feel overwhelming, or make you feel afraid. It is important to pay attention to these feelings, since they may be signaling that you are at the limits of what you know to do to be helpful. It is at this time that you can best help your friend by suggesting that s/he might benefit from talking to a professional.
REMEMBER: You are not alone! When you are in a situation in which you are talking with a friend about her/his problems, here are some general guidelines to keep in mind:
- Do not take on other people's problems and then feel responsible for the outcome of the problem. If you find that you are spending large amounts of time talking to your friend, worrying about her/him, it is time for you to bring in other people to help. You are here for an education and growth experiences, and taking on other's problems distracts you from those goals.
- Do not promise your friend confidentiality of any information s/he may pass along to you when s/he talks to you about a problem. By doing so, you may later be in a difficult situation if the situation is beyond what you can do to assist and has possibly turned into a situation involving danger for your friend or others. You may delay asking for needed help because you promised not to tell anyone. Getting someone the help s/he needs takes priority over confidentiality.
- Get support for yourself if you feel you need it or if you do not know what to do to help your friend any further. There are many resources available at the College and you can find these by contacting Counseling Services at ext. 4307. The Residence Life Staff at ext. 4410 is also available for assistance in ways to help a friend. Check with your RA or one of the head RA's. Safety always comes first. If you are concerned for the safety of you, your friend, or anyone else, call Public Safety at ext. 4000.
Beginning a Conversation About Your Concerns
By communicating interest and concern to a distressed student, you may play an important role in helping that student regain the balance to cope with distress and function well. If you are not sure how to approach a student you are concerned about, consult with a colleague, or call Counseling Services at ext. 4307 and ask to speak with a counselor. Counselors are available to serve as consultants to students, faculty, and staff handling difficult student situations. If you choose to approach a friend you're concerned about or if a friend reaches out to you for help with personal concerns, here are some suggestions that might make it more comfortable for you and more helpful for your friend.
- Talk to your friend, either alone or with someone else, in private. Speak directly, sincerely, and honestly.
- Express your concern in specific, nonjudgmental terms and within a context of caring and concern. Tell her/him clearly what behaviors you have observed that are causing you concern.
- Listen to thoughts and feelings in a sensitive, nonthreatening way. Communicate understanding by repeating back the essence of what the student has told you.
- Let your friend know that you believe a counselor would be of help. If s/he takes a defensive posture, simply restate your concerns and recommendations.
- If your friend is willing to schedule an appointment, offer to assist this process by offering her/him immediate use of your phone or by walking her/him to Counseling Services or Health Services.
- Contact Counseling Services (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). The Student Affairs administrative assistant or one of the counselors will arrange for the student to meet with a counselor as soon as possible.
- Dangerous crisis situations include suicidal behaviors or threats, homicidal behavior or threats, irrational dangerous behavior, or excessive consumption of alcohol or drugs. If you are not sure whether the situation represents immediate danger, err on the side of caution and call Public Safety at ext. 4000 or 911.
Indicators of Distress in College Students
Sometimes friends will let you know in a direct way that something is bothering them by telling you about it. At other times, friends may not directly tell you that something is wrong, depending on the person and/or the situation with which they are dealing. At times like this, it is important to know what kinds of things to notice in your friends that will signal that s/he is overstressed and overtaxed.
Listed below are some categories of Indicators of Distress with specific examples under each category. This is not a comprehensive list of all indicators, but rather, a listing of problems that typically may occur. As you read through these indicators, please also keep in mind the following:
- Friends that you choose to assist may or may not have a mental health concern. Respond to her/his behavior. Don't try to diagnose.
- When in doubt, it is always okay to refer to or consult with Counseling Services.
- None of these indicators alone is sufficient for predicting mental health problems, aggression and/or violence to self or others. However, when they occur in combination they may suggest your friend is in distress and that you may want to draw in other professionals for advice on how to handle the situation.
- Know your limits and don't overextend yourself. Experience shows that sometimes other students get too involved in trying to help their friends and then struggle if their efforts are not having the positive effect they are seeking.
- It is better to act sooner rather than later.
- The intention here is to increase your awareness of signs that something might be wrong with your friend. However, the information below is not meant to suggest that you must be a "junior therapist" and ask questions to pull out information. Rather, these are behaviors that you may observe and/or that your friend may share in conversation.
- Cultural factors often play a role in how students communicate distress. Students from some cultural backgrounds may believe that it is shameful to talk about their problems with anyone outside of their family. Others may communicate distress through complaints about physical symptoms.
- International students may experience signs of "cultural shock" at some point after their arrival in the United States. This is a common reaction to adjusting to different beliefs, attitudes, and values in a new country. Problems encountered by an international student may create a complex situation for her/him because of the rules and regulations regarding foreign citizens.
Academic Indicators of Distress
- Missing assignments
- Deterioration in quality of work
- A drop in grades
- Repeated absences from class
- A negative change in classroom performance
- Verbal aggressiveness in class meetings
- Disorganized or erratic performance
- Continual seeking of special accommodations (late papers, extensions, postponed examinations, etc.)
- Essays or creative work that indicate extremes of hopelessness, social isolation, rage, or despair
Personal/Interpersonal Indicators of Distress
- Tearfulness
- Unprovoked anger or hostility
- Excessive dependency
- Expressions of hopelessness or worthlessness
- Exaggerated personality traits (e.g., more withdrawn or animated than normal)
- Direct statements indicating distress, family problems, or other difficulties
- A hunch or gut-level reaction that something is wrong
- Expressions of concern about a student in the class by his/her peers
- Changes in typical clothing (baggy clothing; long sleeves; inappropriate for weather)
Physical Indicators of Distress
- Deterioration in physical appearance
- Visible changes in weight
- Lack of personal hygiene
- Excessive fatigue
- Appearing bleary-eyed, hung over, or smelling of alcohol
- Appearing sick or ill
- Chapped hands
Environmental Indicators of Distress

- Not using meal card in cafeteria
- Formal disciplinary notices in the residence hall

- Any written note or verbal statement that has a "sense of finality" (possible suicidality)
- Severe depression
- Any history of suicidal thoughts or attempts
- Giving away of prized possessions
- Self-injurious or self-destructive behaviors
- Out-of-control behavior
- Essays or papers that focus on despair, suicide, death, violence or aggression
- Verbal or written (email, Facebook, etc.) threats of harm to self or others

July 18, 2002
July 18, 2002
Today this Committee continues its work on the Leahy-Specter-Feinstein-Biden-Durbin-Edwards substitute version of S.486, the Innocence Protection Act. I said last week that our bill is not a cure-all for the criminal justice system, or even for the capital punishment system, but it is a very good bill.
It reflects careful thought, and principled compromise, concerning the key reforms necessary to protect the innocent, and about the needs of law enforcement and States' rights to help restore justice and confidence in our criminal justice system. I will include in the record a few of the recent editorials and letters we have received in support of the bill.
I am especially grateful to all the Members of the Committee who have worked with me on this effort. Senator Feingold is an original cosponsor of S.486, and a powerful voice in the national debate on capital punishment. Senators Kennedy, Durbin, Cantwell, and Edwards are also cosponsors of S.486. Senator Feinstein has worked with me for the past year to find common ground on DNA and counsel provisions that would enable us to move forward together.
Senator Specter brought his experience as a prosecutor to bear in crafting a bill that complements the Innocence Protection Act; several of his proposals have been incorporated in the substitute amendment. We also benefitted from Senator Biden's vast experience in the criminal justice system, and I welcome his cosponsorship of the substitute amendment.
I would like to see if we can make progress and report it today. With the cooperation of all members of the Committee, I think that we can. I want to thank Senator Hatch for the way he handled his opposition and the debate last week. I asked my staff to reach out to his staff again this week to see whether we might find a way for him to support this effort and this bill.
Likewise, I had my staff reach out to the other Republican members of the Committee who had filed amendments to see what could be done with regard to their concerns.
I believe that I am correct in reporting progress and want to begin today's session by offering a multi-part amendment that incorporates a number of points on which we have been able to reach an accommodation.
This amendment, which we have we have worked out with Senators Sessions and Kyl does the following:
First, the amendment includes compromise language to address the issue that Senator Kyl raised last week. Specifically, it sets out certain factors that the Attorney General should take into consideration when deciding whether to award a grant to a capital defender organizations.
I do not believe that this language is necessary, and I am concerned that it could be used to deny grants to organizations that are particularly effective on behalf of their clients. However, we have included language that will facilitate oversight by this Committee, as well as other protections. All in all, I believe it is a workable compromise.
Second, at Senator Sessions' request, the amendment requires that when a court orders DNA testing, the results of such tests are simultaneously disclosed to the defense, prosecution, and the court of jurisdiction. The Senator from Alabama and I agree that DNA test results - whether they are obtained by the prosecution or the defense - should be shared immediately with the other side.
Third, again at Senator Sessions' request, we have added a provision that will encourage States to take the initiative on DNA testing by reviewing their capital cases, identifying those in which biological evidence is readily accessible and DNA testing is appropriate, and then going ahead and doing the testing. We have also authorized the U.S. Attorney General to do post-conviction DNA testing as appropriate in federal capital cases.
This new provision contemplates that such prosecutor-initiated DNA testing would occur within one year, but nothing in what we have added to the bill precludes testing in appropriate cases after that period.
Fourth, the amendment authorizes new grant programs to train State and local prosecutors, defense counsel, and judges to better handle capital cases. This would supplement the program already in the bill to assist States in strengthening their indigent defense systems in capital cases.
Fifth and finally, we have clarified language that was already in the substitute which prohibits defender organizations that receive federal grants under our new program from using the money for political activities.
This principle is already firmly established in federal law, but we have made it crystal clear in the text of the bill. We have also clarified that grantees may use grant funds to respond to requests from Congress and State legislatures regarding their activities under the grant.
Again, I want to thank all of the members of this Committee for their constructive input on the bill.
I thank Senator Sessions, for working with me over the last several days on this compromise amendment, and I am glad we were able to accommodate his concerns. I understand that he may still oppose the bill, but I hope that we can continue this dialogue as the legislative process moves forward.
I am informed that the language has been circulated and has been cleared on both sides. Accordingly, I offer this amendment in the belief that we can make significant progress by accepting it and I urge its adoption.

Braun, 41 years old and representing North Carolina Masters, set two individual marks in the 50 freestyle and 50 butterfly for the 40-44 age group. Her 50 free time of 26.22 broke the world record of 26.40 held by Sweden's Marika Johansson since 2008. It also lowers her national record of 26.46 that she swam last November. In the 50 fly, she swam a 28.19 to erase Olympian Susan von der Lippe's mark of 28.21.
Braun nearly snagged a third individual world record in the 100 freestyle, coming close to von der Lippe's record of 57.55 with a 57.58.
To top off her weekend, Braun swam 100 meters of butterfly with Frances McEachran (backstroke), Jon Blank (breaststroke) and Jonathan Klein (freestyle) to break the Masters world record in the 400 medley relay for the 200-239 age group with a 4:27.64. Oregon Masters previously held the record with a 4:32.16.
The swims mark the first Masters world records for Braun, who competed at the Olympic Trials in the 50 freestyle last summer, one of three females over 40 at the meet. Though the 26.32 she swam last May to qualify for Trials is faster than the FINA Masters long course world record of 26.44 in the 40-44 age group, Braun needed to swim that time at a sanctioned Masters meet, not the USA Swimming-sanctioned meet that she participated in last year.
Leslie Livingston, however, is no stranger to Masters world records, having set a couple in the 50-54 age group in the past two years. Livingston, 52, continued her record-breaking streak last weekend, lowering her own world record of 29.54 in the 50 butterfly to 29.25. She came close to her record of 30.58 in the 50 backstroke, posting a time of 30.65.

The meeting of the Delta-Montrose Electric Association (DMEA) board of directors on Tuesday, April 23, featured the board's positions on two controversial topics — the new Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association Inc. (Tri-State) rate structure, called "A-37," and the Colorado Senate Bill 13-252 (SB-252.)
The rate structure, A-37, is Tri-State's new wholesale method of charging its 44 member distribution systems, of which DMEA is one. Colorado cooperatives, Empire Electric Association, La Plata Electric Association and White River Electric Association have appealed to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) for relief from the new energy-only rate following similar actions by several cooperatives in New Mexico, which resulted in that state's Public Regulation Commission (PRC) suspending the new rate.
Amid the wrangling, the DMEA board appointed a committee to consider DMEA's position. After hearing a point/counterpoint discussion of A-37 with both Tri-State and an independent rate consultant, the board came to a conclusion. After much deliberation, the DMEA board took the following position:
A-37 is not in keeping with historical DMEA rate-making principles. There was no cost of service study done by Tri-State, so the rate is not cost based, and large industrial loads will be excessively impacted. In addition, A-37 will limit smart grid opportunities, risking DMEA's popular Time-of-Use (TOU) rate.It neutralizes our energy efficiency programs, and the predictive-call component of the rate is punitive. DMEA is respectful of our fellow co-ops, understanding that it is best to solve issues within the (Tri-State) family. However, when communication channels brea down, we respect the rights of WREA, EEA, and LPEA to petition the PUC for an outside perspective.
Early this April, a bill concerning Colorado's renewable energy standard was introduced in the Colorado State Senate. The bill, SB-252 — sponsored by Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, and House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver — includes an increase in the state's renewable portfolio standard (including such sources as wind, solar and coal mine methane technologies) to 25% by 2020 and places the obligation on a "qualifying wholesale utility" (which essentially applies to Tri-State). Tri-State has voiced opposition to the bill, stating that compliance could cost billions, and the Colorado Rural Electric Association (CREA) has expressed frustration that the bill seems to have been advanced without input from CREA, Tri-State or any individual co-op prior to its introduction.
Despite this opposition, the DMEA board is taking a different position in order to promote local energy generation, which may have a positive effect on local economies. At the April 23 board meeting, DMEA director Ed Marston made a motion to support SB-252 if amended to allow up to 50% local Colorado co-op distributive generation by interested cooperatives. The motion passed.

Dena's son owns the downtown club called "The Box" and he gave us a deal to do the show there. I was excited to be in a new space, but I didn't realize The Box is a modern-day burlesque house. What do I mean? Well, when we first got there to rehearse, let's just say we were "surprised" by what we saw. The downstairs bathrooms are very... interesting. For instance, one toilet has stirrups (!) next to it and a mirror on the ceiling. Think about it. Nonetheless, we performed the whole show, it sold out and the audience went crazy. A big-time Broadway producer was in the audience and decided to do a workshop of the show. We quickly hauled it up again for two performances and had an amazing time. Then... nothing. We didn't know if were supposed to wait for an offer from him, wait for an offer from a regional house or what.
A few months passed and my not-yet husband James and I were sitting at Aroma on 72nd Street and trying to figure out where to do Disaster. Should we pitch it to an out-of-town theatre? I was not into it, because I'd have to leave town for weeks. Suddenly James pointed across the street and said, "Why not put it up yourself at the Triad?" After a lot of me saying it wouldn't work because the stage is too small, we decided it was a great idea. Most of the cast/creative team were still available and we decided to do the show on Sundays. Joe Trentacosta from Springer Associates signed on as our publicist and sent out reviewer invitations, but I assumed they would wait a while to come. Our first performance went very well, but it was really difficult doing the show with so many days in between performances. Our backstage was always filled with everyone hunched over their scripts, seeing what the next scene was. And people were constantly running lines to themselves because it was hard to remember anything after six days off. On the third performance it was worse than ever.
I play Dr. Ted Scheider, the disaster expert, and at one point I was supposed to run onstage, make an announcement, have someone tell me to be quiet and then yell, "Let me speak." Well, I started speaking and no one told me to be quiet. Wonderful. I guess I could have improv'd something, but instead I bizarrely became a total purist and stuck to the script. In other words after an awkward silence waiting for the line telling me to stop talking, I suddenly said for no reason, "Let me speak!" The audience was like, "No one isn't letting you speak. What's happening?" That was just one of the many mishaps of the night. I was actually sitting backstage with my head in my hands because I couldn't believe how many things were going wrong. Well, as luck would have it, it was the night that Joe Trentacosta sent the New York Times to review us! Luckily, I didn't find out until our leading man, Zak Resnick, texted me with, "Um…I think we just got an amazing New York Times review," and I went to the link. Regardless of my trauma, the review had quotes like "triumph," "irresistible" and the last sentence was, "You'll be tickled and, despite your best judgment, probably singing along." Wowza! It just goes to show that one's perception onstage is not the same as from the audience.
The remaining shows sold amazingly well, but we couldn't sustain a run because only having one performance a week can't generate enough money to pay all the other aspects of a show. After we closed, I didn't know what to do with the show. Go regional? Oy, I couldn't leave town. We decided to do it in New York, but where? Then James got his show Unbroken Circle produced at the Theatre at St. Luke's and we wondered if Disaster could run there, too. All the musicals that play at St. Luke's only have a few people in them and Disaster has a big, fat 14! Would it sound horrific? Well, we brought in a great sound designer who told us that a big musical could indeed work there (if we rented some equipment) and soon we raised the money to make the show happen!

What Do Parrots from New Jersey Have to Do with Enlightenment?
A Parrot Parable.
This is a story of wild Monk Parrots, indigenous to the tropical climates of South America, living on the utility poles of Edgewater, New Jersey. Yes, New Jersey.
Edgewater is a bedroom community of NYC, just across the Hudson River. It boasts gorgeous panoramic views of the George Washington Bridge, New York City skyscrapers and the infamous parrots. Rumor has it that in the late '60's, a damaged crate of black market birds escaped from JFK Airport. Fast-forward 50 years, and the parrots—almost 300 in number—have thrived. The mornings are the best time to find them and catch their song. Squawking, swooping, playing—right in my backyard.
Most of the residential buildings in Edgewater are condominiums. The parrots have adhered to the zoning codes. They build their nests, up to four feet long, in the trees and utility poles lining the river. They are quite a nuisance to the local power company. PSE&G determined that their nests were a potential fire hazard. After much citizen outcry, the power company has decided to call a truce. They no longer knock down the nests.
What does the story of the Monk Parrots have to do with spirituality, yoga and enlightenment? Everything. Take a look at the story. It seems impossible. Tropical birds, released into a suburban environment. No food source, no sultry weather conditions, pollution and people—lots of people.
But, they survived, against logic, against all adversity. When we are faced with difficult choices, often times we retreat. We go inward. While that has it's benefits, we can only stay there for a short while. Then we have to make decisions. Usually there are two paths we can take. Abandon it all or stand up and embrace it for all it's worth. Figure out a way to live, and live it, to the fullest extent. And here it is, if those parrots can carry on, against all odds, why can't we?
Take a ride down River Road, open your sun roof, listen for their chorus, look for their nests. Remember this story. Knit it into your memory bank. They shouldn't have survived—but they did.

Thanks Alison, that is goodfto know. Seems like a letter to PSE&G is in order.
Calling their annoying 'CAW CAW CAW!" a chorus is like calling nails on a chalkboard a symphony. I've lived in Edgewater for 5 years now and the parrots are the worst part. I'd love to find the person that released them in our area. The nests ARE fire hazards, they produce noise pollution and don't migrate, so it's all year round.

Porting SGI Audio Applications to Linux
The process used to port SGI audio applications was reflective of Linux's own distributed developments—a truly international collaboration dependent on Internet communication. It is still a work in progress, with improvements and extensions to the software being created and contributed by programmers around the world.
NoTAM is the Norwegian network for Technology, Acoustics and Music research located at the University of Oslo. Professor Oyvind Hammer of NoTAM wrote a series of applications designed to aid musicians and researchers in the analysis and representation of sound. Written originally for Silicon Graphics (SGI) computers, these applications utilize the graphics capabilities of the X Window System and make use of SGI's audio and sound file systems. Many applications offer basic and advanced editing features as well as sound file playback capability.
Although not traditionally thought of as an audio platform, Linux already has several sound file editing and processing systems. Packages such as MiXViews, Snd, XWave and the CERES Soundstudio are available for audio recording, editing and playback. Many other packages can be found on the Internet. The Linux Soundapps page (see Resources), which I maintain, is a comprehensive and up-to-date list of Linux-based audio applications.
The editing capabilities of the NoTAM software are of a different nature: edits are performed on the graphic results of a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of a sound file. Explaining FFTs is beyond the scope of this article, but the results of a transform are usually depicted in a "spectral representation", i.e., a representation of frequency versus time. With the appropriate software, edits can then be made directly on the frequency content of a sound. Until recently, Linux had no such software, so porting the NoTAM applications to Linux was an attractive prospect.
When the NoTAM source code (made publicly available by Dr. Hammer and NoTAM) was examined, I noted that the graphics code consisted of plain X calls, and its sound support consisted of calls to the SGI-specific audio and audiofile libraries. Many of the applications were built with Motif. Since the necessary X libraries and LessTif (a freely available replacement for the Motif libraries) were already available, all that was needed in order to do the port were replacements for the audio and audiofile libraries. I contacted Dr. Hammer and asked him for permission to try porting the software to Linux, and with his gracious consent, the porting project began.
Looking over an excellent web page dedicated to SGI audio applications (maintained by Doug Cook), I noticed a sound-file editor named DAP (Digital Audio Processor), written by Richard Kent. DAP uses the XForms libraries, so I inquired about the possibility of a Linux port. Richard informed me that he had already written such a port, and when I mentioned I wanted to port some other software written for the SGI to Linux, he graciously supplied the code used in DAP to replace the SGI audio and audiofile libraries and headers. The Linux versions of libaudio.a, libaudiofile.a and their associated header files are virtually direct "plug-in" replacements, meaning I could leave the NoTAM sources relatively intact.
Armed with X11, Richard's replacement code and LessTif, I attempted my first port. I chose Dr. Hammer's Sono. This program analyzes a sound file and creates a PostScript sonograph of the spectral analysis. Since Sono does not display the graphics, instead relying on external display mechanisms, the port was fairly trivial, requiring only minor modifications.
With this first success, I moved on to another relatively straightforward program, PTPS, which creates a PostScript graph of a pitch-tracking analysis. PTPS also compiled easily with only small changes, so I decided to attempt a more substantial port.
Ceres is an FFT-based program, but its design goes far beyond the simplicity of Sono and PTPS. Ceres renders the FFT results into a graphic display which can then be edited directly and saved as a new sound file. The challenge in porting Ceres was primarily in the X programming. Since no real-time aspects were involved, there were no problems with audio playback. There were, however, problems with the use of variable-length Xt argument lists which, in theory, must be terminated with a NULL entry. The SGI compiler and libraries did not appear to require this NULL; however, the Linux GCC compiler and libraries were stricter, and Ceres would fail with a segmentation fault upon opening if the NULL was missing. In addition, a problem with different maximum random numbers (RAND_MAX) between SGI and Linux caused a crash when using the Random Sieve transform. Once these two problems were solved, the porting of Ceres was complete.
I then decided to do an even more ambitious port, Dr. Hammer's Mix package. Mix is a 9-channel audiofile mixer with graphic waveform displays, graphic volume and panning curves, a scripting language for complex mixes, and real-time effects processing. (See Figure 1.) Obviously, audio playback capabilities are exploited to the full. I thought porting Mix would be by far the most difficult challenge, yet with Richard's replacement libraries (and some judicious code-cutting), I was quickly able to compile the Mix application, and Linux now has an excellent 9-channel, sound file mixer.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Born in 1940, writer/director Brian De Palma's career began to take off in the 1970s with the horror classic Carrie, based on a Stephen King novel. Often compared to the legendary director Alfred Hitchcock, De Palma has helmed numerous thrillers, such as Dressed to Kill (1980) and Body Double (1984). He has also created one of the organized crime classics of all time,
Scarface (1983).
Film director, screenwriter. Born on September 11, 1940, in Newark, New Jersey. De Palma attended Columbia University in New York, New York. He made his first film, Icarus, as a student there. After De Palma graduated in 1962, he spent time at Sarah Lawrence College on a writing fellowship. In the mid-1960s De Palma began working on his feature-length debut with The Wedding Party, which co-wrote and co-directed with Wilford Leach and Cynthia Munroe. The film was released in 1969 and featured an up-and-coming actor named Robert De Niro.
De Palma's career really began to take off in the 1970s with the horror classic Carrie, based on a Stephen King novel. Sissy Spacek starred as an often overlooked and mistreated teen with special powers who takes her revenge on those who harmed her. Often compared to the legendary director Alfred Hitchcock, De Palma has helmed numerous thrillers, such as Dressed to Kill (1980) and Body Double (1984). He has also created one of the organized crime classics of all time, Scarface (1983). Al Pacino stars as a Cuban who immigrates to Miami in the 1980s and becomes the leader of a drug cartel. Audiences were riveted by the rise and fall of Pacino's character as well as the film's graphic depiction of violence and drug use.
The 1980s was a time of mixed success for De Palma. He scored a box office hit with organized crime-busting drama The Untouchables. Released in 1987, the film starred Kevin Costner as federal agent Eliot Ness who wants to take down Al Capone, the crime kingpin of Chicago, played by Robert De Niro. Two years later, De Palma's next directorial effort, Casualties of War, failed to register with movie audiences. But this was nothing compared to the critical drubbing he received for Bonfire of the Vanities (1990), an adaptation of the Tom Wolfe novel.
De Palma has experienced many twists and turns in his career, with several hits and misses over the past two decades. He directed the well-received Carlito's Way (1993) and the mainstream action hit Mission: Impossible (1996). Snake Eyes (1998), Mission to Mars (2000), and Femme Fatale (2002) all failed to catch on with the movie-going public. His latest film, The Black Dahlia, was based on the James Ellroy novel about the infamous murder of an aspiring actress in Hollywood during the 1940s. While a lot of publicity surrounded its release in 2006, the film received mixed reviews and had fair ticket sales.
Married and divorced three times, De Palma's first wife was actress Nancy Allen. He has two daughters: Lolita, from his second marriage to producer Gale Anne Hurd, and Piper, from his third marriage to Darnell Gregorio-De Palma.

Joachim Low, Germany coach
I wouldn't say we were too lucky with the draw. It's not going to be an easy section, but it's certainly not beyond us. What strikes me is that it's a very balanced group. We're looking forward to the challenge and we know that it's going to be important for our confidence to win our opening match against Australia. Still, it's going to be a tricky one. I shadowed Serbia coach Radomir Antic for a while when he was at Barcelona a few years ago. Serbia were fantastic in qualifying and they have some extremely good players. Ghana are going to very difficult to play against due to their physical strength and in Michael Essien they have a real superstar. I'll have to ring Michael Ballack to get some inside info on Essien. The Ghanaians played well at the 2006 World Cup and they've improved a lot over the past few years. It's going to be difficult, but it's an interesting draw. I don't think we need to fear any of the sides we're up against because we've got a very strong squad ourselves. I'm looking forward to it!
Pim Verbeek, Australia coach
You have to say Germany are the favourites to win the group. They're extremely strong, very experienced and one of the best sides in the world. Nonetheless, we'll be doing everything we can to reach the next round. We did well in 2006, but now we need to concentrate on 2010. The players are four years older now and so they have four years more experience. We played in the Asian qualifying zone and beat some decent sides in spite of some difficult conditions and a lot of travelling. That made us stronger mentally. I don't know too much about the Serbians, but they were better than France in qualifying so they must be pretty good. Ghana are one of the strongest teams in Africa and, if you consider the fact that we are playing in Africa, that makes them a real danger. That'll be a big match for us because, physically, the Ghanaians are just as strong as we are.
Radomir Antic, Serbia coach
Germany are clear favourites in my opinion, but I'm still happy with the draw. It's going to be really interesting because each team has a very different playing style. My team is very young, physically and technically strong and without a doubt the best Serbian team there has ever been. We're a very positive-thinking group and we're always looking to improve. I believe in my players and I'm sure they're going to have a great World Cup. Obviously I know Germany very well, they have lots of young players who have established themselves at club level in recent years. I have a lot of respect for Australia because they're a very competitive nation with a great sporting tradition.

I can't say I'm overjoyed by the draw. Germany are a quality team, Serbia too, but I'm convinced we can match them. For me, Germany are the best team in Europe. I'm confident we can make it into the second round.
