Having taught privately for 20 years, I look forward to helping you grow in a lifelong love of any area you want to develop.

Hi! My name is Janet, and I would like to be your new music lessons teacher! As a quick biography, I have 20+ years of experience teaching both piano and voice lessons. I have taught students from as young as 5 years old up to a wonderful lady who was a grandmother many times over. I have taught students of all ability levels, from the most basic beginner to very advanced performers. I welcome you to come to my home studio. I have both a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Arts degree in Music from the University of Indianapolis. I retired in 2009 from teaching in the Indianapolis area public schools after 32 years of teaching elementary vocal/general/choral music.
As a student taking lessons with me, I will always put your desires as a musician first, and consider them to be the most important factor in guiding the progress of your lessons. While I will make basic assignments for you to practice for your next lesson, I am always open to including music that you would like to learn. If there is a particular style of music that you would like to study, or even a particular piece of music that you want to learn, please feel free to mention that to me, and I will do my best to find that music to add to your lessons. If at any time you have questions, requests, or comments, please either mention them to me at the lessons, or contact me by phone, text, or email.
I look forward to meeting you, talking with you about your desires and aspirations as a musician, and to guiding you and helping you to reach your goals.

Music is my life, and is something that I want to share with others! Because of that, I try my best to give positive experiences to all of my students. I have a byline that says "Music is Much More than Just Learning Notes." I believe that! Anyone can learn notes, fingerings, etc. What I try to do is add that "soul" element that each person has and cultivate that into meaningful music!
So, with all that said, here's what I try to instill:
A lesson is a place to share! I listen to students as well as teach. We all have something we can learn from each other!
While I want lessons to be fun and informative, I strive for complete understanding, which means any student will gain the needed mechanics with complete knowledge of why things happen and what they do to and for music. From there, I attempt to teach the "soul" of music and how emotion and spirit play a huge part in memorable music.
I don't believe in brow-beating, but I also don't want to pass over things. I don't believe practice makes perfect, but I do believe practice increases awareness!
I really try hard to help students move beyond the notes on the page. We may listen to music and describe how it makes us feel, or paint pictures both physical and mental of what the music is showing us. That is where I see the soul stepping in.
My Education
As stated before, I started on a little Magnus Organ. My grandmother told me years later that I would listen to television jingles and then try to play them on the organ!
Once we settled in our permanant home, my parents brought home a piano and I began working first with Robert Warnick, a local music teacher in the schools. He taught scales and chords. Then, Midge Bishop took me through John Thompson Grade 3, but then had to move away. Finally, I studied under Victoria Hope, lasting 13 years until I went on to college. She taught me the fine art of piano by continually challenging me to approach each piece as an artwork. She had me use the music to paint the picture. Naturally, the element of the soul came through as I put color to music.
My Experience
Throughout my elementary through high school days, I immersed myself in band, choir and drama. I played piano at church starting very young. I then began trombone in the band during 4th grade. Upon entering high school, I joined choir and participated in marching band, concert band, pep band and jazz band. During those years, I picked up the rest of the brass instruments as needed by my band director. In choir, I excelled both in voice and on piano through accompaniment. Later in high school, I joined up with the drama department where we ultimately had the opportunity to write our own musical. By the time I entered college, I had mastered all the brass instruments, piano and snare drum.
During college, I participated in the marching band, wind ensemble, jazz band, pep band, trombone choir, several pit orchestras, and the symphony orchestra. I also participated in the choir.
Since that time, I have mastered the woodwinds, organ, drum set guitar and bass guitar and a little violin. I have over 25 years experience teaching lessons. They occurred off and on throughout my younger days.

Don grew up in Indianapolis, and began his musical interest in church as a 9 year old. "Most everyone sang the melody during the song service, and I wanted to be different. So I started picking out parts to sing by ear." His first formal music began in the fifth grade when he took up the trumpet. From there he became involved in band and choir in high school and went on to major in music at Tennessee Temple College in Chattanooga. Later he earned a master's degree in music from Butler University, and studied voice and choral conducting at Pensacola Christian College for 2 summers.
He has traveled across most of the eastern United States as part of a college ensemble from 3 different colleges. He has performed in and directed numerous church musicals as well as performing in 2 college musicals.
Don has been a church music director, and has taught elementary, Jr. High and High School band and choir for 10 years. His own formal lessons have been in piano, trumpet, voice, and guitar, but Don studied all the band instruments in order to teach young band members to better play their instrument. He has also taught music on the college level for 15 years in courses such as voice, piano, trumpet, music history, music theory, etc.
Don is also a composer and arranger of numerous sacred choral pieces, and has written 4 Christmas cantatas, complete with drama.
Don and his wife have three sons, all of which followed his example and earned degrees in music, and are now active in performing or teaching music.
Drum, Music Performance, Music Theory, Percussion
Alex was born May 31, 1987. Since both of his parents were band directors, he grew up in a very musically inclined family. When he was 15 years old, during his freshman year of high school, he started studying percussion. A year later he began studying under Chad Kohler and continued to do so until 2009. During spring semester of 2009 he studied briefly under Richard Walker at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). In the fall of that year he then transferred to Butler University for an academic year and studied under Craig Hetrick and Jon Crabiel.
Beginning in 2011 Alex began studying attending University of Indianapolis and is currently studying under Paul Berns as well as Art Reiner. In addition to studying with them he has also went back to continue to study with his mentor Chad Kohler. In the time since Alex graduated high school, he has been continuously presented with teaching opportunities. At the time, though, music was not looking like the best course of action for him. With the aid of Chad Kohler, Alex then began getting more involved with teaching percussion. Alex eventually went on to arranging his own parts for his students, as well as composing original percussion ensemble pieces. In the time since he has been out of high school, he has taught at a number of schools including the Lynhurst 7th & 8th Grade Center, North Putnam Jr./Sr. High School, Broad Ripple Magnet School for the Arts & Humanities, and Lawrence Central. He is currently the percussion director at Arlington High School.
When it comes to teaching music, what is known to be as the "Holy Trinity" comes to mind. While teaching I personally believe that it is important to challenge students just enough so that they are not discouraged and are still able to have fun.
The Holy Trinity plays a big role in this. What it consists of is embracing your students from all angles. This would be from ensembles and private lessons, which in turn then encourage them to practice. Ensemble, private lessons, and practicing are the three main categories that make up the "Holy Trinity." And in using this, you can also be more involved with your students as well. It is always a good idea be friend your students as well and not just be the "teacher." There is a great quote that goes like this, "They will never care about how much you know, until they know how much you care." In which case has been proven to be very true time and time again.
It is important as a teacher to be able to inspire your students and to encourage them. Which is why I think it is important to be a good friend as well to your students. This way a kind of trust is formed and in turn can easily lead to the success of a music program. Also I do believe that it is important to expose students to as many forms of music as possible. This way they are not just stuck in one kind of mind set and if they choose to go into music for their career, then they have many different experiences they can pull and relate from. Plus they will also have some more knowledge of different cultures and music genres that can help not only create better music but also be more overall worldly in their personal life out side of music. Being able to learn about music is very important, and can easily impact a student's life in many different ways that most subjects just do not have the capability to. This is what I believe about learning music and why I also love to teach it. I want my students to be able to have all the same great experiences I have had and more. Which is why I personally believe so heavily in a good music education.
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

Google's Next Mission: Fighting Violent Extremism
Google's new think tank will host a summit on what makes some youths join radical groups and what makes others turn away.
Neo-Nazi groups and al Qaeda might not seem to have much in common, but they do in one key respect: their recruits tend to be very young. The head of Google's new think tank, Jared Cohen, believes there might be some common reasons why young people are drawn to violent extremist groups, no matter their ideological or philosophical bent. So this summer, Cohen is spearheading a conference, in Dublin, Ireland, to explore what it is that draws young people to these groups and what can be done to redirect them.
Technology, of course, is playing a role both in recruiting members to extremist groups, as well as fueling pro-democracy and other movements--and that's where Google's interest lies. "Technology is a part of every challenge in the world, and a part of every solution," Cohen tells Fast Company. "To the extent that we can bring that technology expertise, and mesh it with the Council on Foreign Relations' academic expertise--and mesh all of that with the expertise of those who have had these experiences--that's a valuable network to explore these questions."
Cohen is the former State Department staffer who is best known for his efforts to bring technology into the country's diplomatic efforts. But he was originally hired by Condaleezza Rice back in 2006 for a different--though related--purpose: to help Foggy Bottom better understand Middle Eastern youths (many of whom were big technology adopters) and how they could best "deradicalized." Last fall, Cohen joined Google [2] as head of its nascent Google Ideas, which the company is labeling a "think/do tank."
This summer's conference, "Summit Against Violent Extremism," [3] takes place June 26-29 and will bring together about 50 former members of extremist groups--including former neo-Nazis, Muslim fundamentalists, and U.S. gang members--along with another 200 representatives from civil society organizations, academia, private corporations, and victims groups. The hope is to identify some common factors that cause young people to join violent organizations, and to form a network of people working on the issue who can collaborate going forward.
"With more than 50% of the world's population under the age of thirty and the vast majority of those characterized as 'at risk,' socially, economically, or both, an oversupply exists of young people susceptible to recruitment by the extremist religious or ideological group closest to them in identity or proximity," Cohen wrote [4] on the blog of the Council on Foreign Relations, the event's co-host.
One of the technologies where extremism is playing out these days is in Google's own backyard. While citizen empowerment movements have made use of YouTube to broadcast their messages, so have Terrorist and other groups. Just this week, anti-Hamas extremists kidnapped an Italian peace activist [5] and posted their hostage video to YouTube first before eventually murdering him. YouTube has been criticized [6] in the past for not removing violent videos quick enough. But Cohen says the conference is looking at the root causes that prompt a young person to join one of the groups in the first place. "There are a lot of different dimensions to this challenge," he says. "It's important not to conflate everything."

Wakefield Estate (Wakefield, Mass.); Wakefield Mansion (Wakefield, Mass.)
Architecture, Domestic -- Massachusetts -- Wakefield.
Wakefield (Mass.) -- Pictorial works.
Image is a portion of a drawn aerial map showing the Cyrus Wakefield estate once located on Main Street on the site of the present Galvin Middle School. The mansion was sited approximately opposite Richardson Street, on what is now the school parking lot. The Wakefield estate covered hundreds of acres on both sides of Main Street, and included most of the land bounded by West Water Street, Main Street, and North Avenue, as well as most of the land between Water Street and Bennett Street. The large stone mansion was built in the early 1860s in Second Empire mansard style, and was complemented by a barn, gazebo, greenhouses, canals and orchards on the grounds which extended back to North Avenue. Cyrus Wakefield died in 1873, and the house was then occupied by his widow, Eliza Bancroft Wakefield, who died in 1877. The estate passed into the hands of relatives, as Cyrus and Eliza had no children. The Town voted to buy the property in 1913 at a cost of $25,000. A few years later, the town voted to use the property as the site for a new school building. The mansion, which had fallen into disrepair, was torn down on October 17, 1921.

Recipe by al fresco all natural
"Sundried tomato chicken sausage adds extra flavor to this roasted vegetable dish."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (12 ounce) package al fresco® Sundried Tomato Chicken Sausage, sliced on the bias, 1/4 inch
2 cups eggplant, cut into 1/4 - 1/2-inch dices
2 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 large red pepper, cut into 1 inch dices
1 cup white onion, sliced 1/8 inch thick
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup red wine
1 cup pasta sauce, sundried tomato and herb
1/4 cup low fat, low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato halves, thinly sliced
Extra virgin olive oil cooking spray
I had to roast the veggies for about 35 minutes to get some color on them. The eggplant really cooked down, so the next time I make this, I will cut a little larger than 1/2" cubes (ragu needs some substance). Also, do yourself a favor and use a 12" skillet. I ended up having to brown the sausage in two batches, and by the time I added the sauce ingredients, the 10" skillet was full (and I slopped sauce all over the stove stirring it). Be sure to use a decent pasta sauce and red wine, as I think this is key to the rich flavor of the sauce. The fresh veggies really shine in this recipe. Served this over penne, the chicken sausage was really tasty, and the sun dried tomato added another layer of flavor to this recipe. Enjoyed this, and I definitely will make it again. All in all, a pretty heart-healthy meal.
Made this last night and it really turned out well! I followed the recipe as described - maybe went a little heavy on the zucchini but can you really have too much zucchini? :) This will definitely be made in the future at my house!

First off, the sausage is incredible! The food was very nice but the cooking time and portions of ingredients were a little off. Only use half an onion and double the amount of eggplant. Then, roast the vegetables in the oven for 35 minutes as another helpful reviewer suggested.
This was delicious! My husband is hard to please and we both talked about this dish for hours. I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect. I plan on making it for the second time after less than a week.
First , I must tell the WORLD that al fresco chicken sausage is the very best chicken sausage I have ever eaten! I am a very rigid cook when it comes to buying quality foods. It must be the best to create an outstanding meal. Second, this recipe was delicous! A few changes just for personal preference. I added kosher salt to the veggies before roasting I also added a few quartered mushrooms to the mix. Used two tbsp of minced garlic, 1/2 cp chopped basil. Thank you, al fresco, for the opportunity to try your product!
This was amazing! Everyone at our house enjoyed this. The kids asked for seconds and couldn't get enough. The flavors were great and not overpowering. You could add extra veggies if wanted. Would be great served along fried polenta.
Really tasty and really easy. Great healthy meal to have on chillier fall night.
What an amazing dish! I did use extra sauce (Silver Palate San Marzano Marinara - Sooo good for jarred sauce) & extra fresh basil. Recipe is full of flavor & color & we couldn't wait to eat dinner! Will make this again real soon!

GM Vows To 'Insource' Most Of Its IT Jobs: Beginning Of A Trend?
U.S. workers have been dealing with the effects of outsourcing for years now. But in a trend that many no doubt would like to see continue, General Motors Co. has committed to bringing back technology jobs it now outsources.
The automaker currently outsources about 90 percent of its information-technology services, including running data centers and writing applications, to other companies. But in a 180-degree turn, newly installed chief information officer, Randy Mott, who joined GM in February, wants to "insource" 90 percent of the company's IT operations within three years, InformationWeek reports.
Bringing back IT jobs at the scale GM needs would require the Detroit-based company, which currently employs about 1,500 IT workers worldwide, to go on a hiring binge to staff the three U.S.-based software development centers it's planning to build. Those would include jobs such as software developers, project managers, database experts and business analysts, according to the magazine.
In doing so, GM follows a path first blazed by Ford Motor Co. about five years ago. The plan focuses less on the bottom line and is more concerned with getting the most value from IT development.
But the move is rare. InformationWeek notes that in a survey it conducted of 513 business-technology professionals last year, just 4 percent said their companies plan to decrease IT outsourcing. Seventeen percent were weighing their options, and the remaining 79 percent were maintaining or increasing their outsourcing.
One reason for that is that companies have cheap and reliable access to virtual networks, known as cloud computing. The technology allows businesses to take advantage of low-cost labor in countries such as the Philippines, Malaysia and India, where wages are a fraction of those in the U.S. and other developed nations, according to Staff.com, a website that allows employers to hire workers virtually through the Internet.
Not only can workers be hired on the cheap, Staff.com boasts that its software allows employers "to track low-wage workers minute-by-minute using time-tracking software -- all in the cloud." Moreover, global access permits employers to find people who can work around the clock.
Those attributes, says the site's founder and CEO Rob Rawson, make continued outsourcing a no-brainer.

My FAVORITE pie when I was growing up
Curried Lentil Soup and Dip
Submitted by Kendra Far Abov... on August 23, 2008 - 4:18pm
Serves 4
This recipe is the exact same recipe as my curried lentil patties except with a different consistency and I've ommitted the use of the dehydrator. I've also added other optional ingredients such as tomato puree.
This recipe can easily become a dip by adding less liquids and can be served with flax crackers.

VIDEO: Robber assaults man in Wendy's bathroom near Temple University
A man was assaulted during an attempted robbery in the bathroom of a fast-food restaurant just off Temple University's campus, police said.
The Nov. 3 attack, caught partially by surveillance cameras, occurred about 5 p.m. at the Wendy's restaurant at 1708 N. Broad St.
According to police, an approximately 20-year-old man walked inside the men's bathroom and started punching the occupant in the head and tried to wiggle his hands into his pockets.After a brief scuffle, the victim was able to fight off the suspect and was chased from the restroom before being pushed into the cashier's counter by the attacker. The victim told the cashier to call police, and the attacker fled the store.
The suspect is described as about 20 years old, 6 feet-1 inch tall and weighing about 175 pounds, with a light complexion.
Police ask that anyone with information call 215-686-TIPS (8477) or text a tip to PPD TIP( 773847).

One group made it out to a Collier County Walmart early Friday morning, but it wasn't for the sale prices.
Members of Occupy Naples protested outside of the East Naples Walmart on US-41, urging customers to support the local economy and shop at smaller businesses.
Protestors are concerned with the welfare of Walmart employees, who are speaking out about workplace abuses and low wages.
"Where we choose to send our money sends a much better message on how we want our world to be. We don't think taxpayers should be subsidizing Walmart's billions," said Ellen Hemrick, with Occupy Naples.
Over 1,000 similar demonstrations were planned Friday throughout the country.

Creamer supports Connelly at LPGA Q-School
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Plenty of golf fans have shown up in a Paula Creamer gallery through the years, but Stephanie Connelly may be one of the few who has seen Creamer return the favor.
Creamer braved the cold weather Wednesday to watch Connelly, a junior golf buddy, during the first round of LPGA Q-School at LPGA International. Creamer, nearly unrecognizable in long double braids, oversized sunglasses and – of course – pink Ugg boots, spilled the beans on Twitter early Wednesday morning, announcing to her more than 24,000 followers, "on my way to watch @GolfinStephieC play at q-school!"
Photo Gallery
LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament (Rd. 1)
The LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament got underway in Daytona Beach at LPGA International on Wednesday with Reilley Rankin, Libby Smith and Aree Song tied for the lead with 67s.
Connelly, however, was in the dark until she saw Creamer on the course.
"I didn't know she was coming today. I knew she was coming out this week but ... no, I was surprised," she said. "It's always nice to have your friends and family supporting you."
For Creamer, LPGA International should spark some good memories. Creamer won Q-School by five shots in 2004 as an amateur.
As for Connelly, a 2009 Central Florida graduate, this is her second Q-School go-round. After winning the LPGA Sectional Qualifier in Venice, Fla., Connelly finished last among those who made the cut at the final stage of Q-School last year. She had 16 starts on the Futures Tour in 2010, but had only one top 10. After winning the rain-shortened Maryland Open in October, Connelly played an event on the Moonlight Tour last week to prepare for Q-School.
"I feel just a lot more prepared and more calm," Connelly said of her second attempt at Q-School. "I was still nervous, but it's just good to have the experience. It's five days, one bad shot, it doesn't matter. You have to play for five days, so patience really is the biggest thing."

Surprise! 2011 Best Thanksgiving Day Gifts – get 20% DVD Ripper (window/mac)! Only Last 3 Days[/b]! Time Limited! End up on 5th Dec! Quickly snapped up!…
The 9.4-inch, 1280×800 screen makes Sony Tablet S look quite good in the suitable size — neither too large nor too small. But it's a bit dim according to the feed back of groups of users. What' more, the 5MP rear camera is surprisingly decent for those image shooting lovers. Sony Tablet S packs multiple application programs on top of Honeycomb. If you have a DLNA certified TV (or other device) you can share your media through the home network. However, it is a pity for those DVD movie lovers that you are not able to directly play DVD videos on Sony Tablet S.
One reason is that Sony Tablet S does not have a DVD drive to read the data from DVD discs. And the other one is that Sony Tablet S has not strong enough video decoding program to decode the DVD movie files even though you have copied DVD for Sony Tablet S on Mac. To enjoy Sony Tablet S DVD movie, you need more than bring DVD movies to Sony Tablet S. Many people choose to Mac rip DVD to Sony Tablet S which means you need an ideal Mac DVD to Sony Tablet S ripper.

Step 3: Click "Settings" button to do optimized settings.

$20 refunds coming in bogus Maryland prize scam
Thursday - 10/4/2012, 4:21am  ET
WASHINGTON - It's not a scam: Some people will get money back from Maryland, but they'll need to fill out a claim form.
Back in 2010, Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler ordered a Las Vegas company to stop mailings that promised Marylanders bogus prizes of more than $3 million. Gansler also ordered the company to pay back the so called "entry fees" of $20.
Those who sent $20 to a company doing business as "The National Awards Service Advisory," will get a claim form from the Office of the Attorney General. Once it's filled out and sent in, the $20 will be returned.

New Orleans Pelicans Power Rankings - 2013-14
Power Ranking | ||||
Week 19 | 26-37 | 19 | Make it three-plus weeks and counting for the committee (of one) without seeing a single gorgeous beignet caked in powdered sugar. Not that we're about to get any sympathy from the reeling Pels when the hits just keep coming; Jrue Holiday's season-ending leg surgery was just the latest. | |
Week 18 | 23-36 | 21 | Concern about missing the playoffs and finishing too low in the lottery to keep their first-round pick is obviously mounting. The only consolation: Anthony Davis eased some fears on the other big concern in NOLA with a career-best 32 points in the wake of his latest health setback. | |
Week 17 | 23-32 | 20 | Here's a weird one: There were zero blocked shots in the All-Star Game in New Orleans ... which happened to feature a Pelican named Anthony Davis who leads the league in shot-blocking. The previous All-Star Game low for blocks, since the stat was introduced in the 1970s, was five. | |
Week 16 | 23-29 | 18 | Injuries have ravaged a team that was at least competitive against the best when healthy. Jrue Holiday is on course to return to the lineup soon, but the Pels are likely relegated at this stage to playing spoiler in a tight Western Conference race. (Michael McNamara, Bourbon Street Shots) | |
Week 15 | 22-28 | 19 | Anthony Davis is on pace to be just the fifth player since they started tracking blocked shots in 1973-74 to lead the NBA in his first or second season alongside Mark Eaton, Manute Bol, David Robinson and Serge Ibaka. Mutombo Finger Wag to anyone disputing The Brow's All-Star worthiness. | |
Week 14 | 20-26 | 20 | Only four players in the whole league average 20-and-10. Only one of those four also averages three-plus blocks: Anthony Davis. Factor in the hometown-hero effect and you can see why new commish Adam Silver will be tempted to pick Davis to replace the injured Kobe Bryant instead of a guard. | |
Week 13 | 18-25 | 23 | You're undoubtedly still thinking about what Anthony Davis did to Big Baby Davis on Saturday. Just don't forget to note that Davis added seven blocks to his 22 points and 19 boards, tying him with Roy Hibbert and DeAndre Jordan with a league-best three seven-block games this season. | |
Week 12 | 15-24 | 27 | The Pelicans are 12-10 with Ryan Anderson healthy ... and 6-4 with ridiculously gaudy offensive numbers when their best five players are healthy. But they're 3-14 when Anderson is out injured and they don't know when they'll see their superlative stretch 4 or Jrue Holiday back in the lineup. | |
Week 11 | 15-21 | 22 | No Jrue Holiday. No Ryan Anderson. No Tyreke Evans. How are the Pelicans going to win enough without those three to keep Anthony Davis -- and his 11 20-and-10 games after just six last season -- in the running for a spot in next month's All-Star Game in New Orleans? Right ... they can't. | |
Week 10 | 15-17 | 18 | Would love to focus on the resurgence of Tyreke Evans. The problem is Ryan Anderson just followed up Eric Gordon's nasty fall with unsettling injury scenes of his own. Anthony Davis, meanwhile, is mired in his first slump of the season after three straight games without a double-double. | |
Week 9 | 13-15 | 15 | The worries addressed here last week persist: New Orleans is still searching for its first win over a team currently .500 or better. The encouragement comes from Anthony Davis' big numbers post-injury ... and Tyreke Evans' best spell as a Pelican in the wake of Eric Gordon's recent hard fall. | |
Week 8 | 11-14 | 17 | The good news: Anthony Davis missed only seven games with a fractured hand after the Pels feared he'd miss up to six weeks. The bad news: New Orleans has dropped to 0-11 against teams at .500 or better and will have to start beating some of those teams if it wants to sniff the playoffs. | |
Week 7 | 11-11 | 14 | Think I speak for everyone when I say we all can't wait to see what the Pels look like with Ryan Anderson and The Unibrow in the lineup side-by-side for a sustained period. New Orleans is a rather passable 8-5 when Anderson plays ... albeit a worrisome 0-8 against teams .500 or better. | |
Week 6 | 9-10 | 20 | New Orleans was starting to see the Tyreke Evans it was expecting all along when Evans reinjured his left ankle to join Anthony Davis on the shelf. Which means that the Pels are suddenly missing two of their five best players again after Ryan Anderson just got back to make them whole. | |
Week 5 | 8-8 | 15 | All-Star Weekend in New Orleans is sure to be good. But it'd be even better if the Pels have a rep in the big game, which is a far longer shot today than it was yesterday after The Unibrow (ugh) suffered a fracture in his left hand ... just as things were looking up due to Ryan Anderson's return. | |
Week 4 | 6-6 | 13 | Anthony Davis is the only player close to Hibbert in terms of games (five) with at least five blocks. Also: New Orleans' late rally over Cleveland marked its first win after trailing by 12 or more in the final five minutes of the fourth since Feb. 28, 2001 ... when the team was still located in Charlotte. | |
Week 3 | 4-6 | 15 | For all the justifiable raves about the big steps Anthony Davis has taken, there's really only one guy on the Pels' roster who can loosen up the D and make The Unibrow's life easier. You saw it Saturday night when Ryan Anderson made his floor-spacing return from a broken toe with six quick 3s against Philly. | |
Week 2 | 3-4 | 18 | No one is putting the Pelicans in the playoffs just yet. And three of the NBA's top 10 scorers are forwards from other West teams. But there's no longer any reason to hesitate. We've seen enough to declare that, yes, Anthony Davis will be one of the West's All-Stars in New Orleans in February. | |
Week 1 | 1-2 | 22 | It happened against Charlotte. And it didn't happen until after the Pels were drilled in Orlando. But when Anthony Davis, Jason Smith and Greg Stiemsma each blocked at least five shots Saturday night, it marked only the third time in history that three teammates have done so in the same game. | |
Preseason | 0-0 | 15 | The good news for the Pels and their 7-1 exhibition mark: According to NBA.com's John Schumann, 14 of the 17 teams that lost fewer than two games over the past eight full preseasons (minus 2011) made the playoffs. The bad news: Two that missed out were last season's Raptors and Sixers. | |
Training Camp | 27-55 | 20 | The committee (of one) has indeed reached the point where we instinctively say and write Pelicans. Not there yet, though, when it comes to proclaiming New Orleans playoff material. The pieces are undeniably promising but The Unibrow, Jrue, Tyreke & Co. still have a lot of meshing to do. |

AP on Fox
Vanderbilt coach James Franklin has apologized to Alabama coach Nick Saban for calling him ''Nicky Satan'' at a high school banquet in Georgia.
School spokesman Larry Leathers confirmed Franklin called Saban on Wednesday afternoon to apologize.
The Vanderbilt coach spoke Monday night at the fall sports banquet for Central High in Macon, Ga., where linebacker Nigel Bowden is one of his top commitments. According to videotape from WMAZ-TV, Franklin said, ''There's this guy in Alabama. I think his name is Nicky Satan. You guys have probably heard of him before. I'm going to outwork him. I'm going to outwork him. And that's kind of our plan every single day.''
Franklin told The Tennessean his comment was meant strictly as a joke about a coach who has won four national championships.

Be warned that GSD are the bitiest puppies I have ever seen. I've had sheltie, terrier, poodle, labrador, and golden puppies before and have never experienced the amount of biting I've had from our current GSD puppy. The biting is starting to calm down a little now, but she still has two holes where puppy teeth have come out and adult teeth haven't come in yet, so I expect the biting to go on a little longer.
Potty training was really easy with our GSD puppy though. The first three days, I was never able to get her outside fast enough. As soon as she gave any sign of needing to go, I'd run out the door with her, but I never got there fast enough. I finally managed to get her outside before she finished on the morning of the 4th day and got her to go outside a couple more times that day. She figured out what the bells on the back door meant on the 5th day. After the 7th day, she only had one accident. My puppy was 10 weeks old when I got her though, so that could definitely have been part of why she trained so fast. |

Intensity Modulated Total Marrow Irradiation (IM-TMI) for Advanced Hematologic Malignancies
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This is a phase I study using Intensity Modulated Total Marrow Irradiation (IM-TMI) in addition to a chemotherapy regimen in preparation for an allogeneic stem cell transplant for advanced hematologic malignancies such as acute myeloid or lymphoblastic leukemia, high grade non Hodgkin's or Hodgkin's lymphoma, chronic myelogenous leukemia, and plasma cell leukemia. Because the subjects participating in this study have a disease that is severe and has a high risk of relapse even after transplant, the investigators propose to use a chemotherapy regimen (fludarabine/busulfan), the name for the combination of chemotherapy drugs that is given to patients prior to transplantation of the donor stem cells, along with intensity modulated radiation (IM-TMI) to the bone marrow. Total body irradiation (TBI) in conjunction with chemotherapy is a standard of care as a pre-conditioning regimen prior to bone marrow transplant (BMT) in patients with hematologic malignancies. However, TBI can cause severe side effects due to irradiation of organs such as the lenses of the eye, whole brain, lungs, liver, kidneys, heart, small bowel and oral cavity. IM-TMI allows for the delivery of adequate doses of radiation to the bone marrow while sparing other organs and therefore limiting radiation side effects. The irradiation, along with receiving the chemotherapy drugs will suppress the subject's immune system and kill off tumor cells, but will also intensify the effect of the conditioning regimen thus allowing the bone marrow transplantation to have a greater chance of being successful.
No investigational drugs are used in this study. The investigational part of this study is the use of intensity modulated total marrow irradiation instead of conventional radiation. IMTMI can deliver 99% of the prescribed treatment to the targeted bones and reduce the doses of radiation to surrounding organs, as received in conventional TBI, by 29% to 65%.

Best for: Activities, off the beaten track, value for moneyAsk any tourist during your trip to Iceland and you'll quickly see that everyone develops an unconditional love for the little island nation, whether it's for the mind-bending scenery, the platefuls of delicious lamb and fish dishes, or the sincere local hospitality. The currency crash – which effectively devalued the króna by 75% – also helped make a trip much more favourable to the wallet. As the global economy starts to heal, prices are climbing once more. The spoils of Iceland are no longer a secret, but they're still yours for the taking – and in 2013 you'll still be well ahead of the curve.

In this review we will outline an approach to sequencing new therapies for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), with particular attention paid to the biology of CRPC.
When It Comes to RT for Prostate Cancer, More May Be Better
An intense higher-dose radiotherapy regimen may be a better treatment option for men with localized prostate cancer, according to the 10-year results of the international phase III RT01 trial.
FGF Inhibitor No Better Than Sorafenib in Third-Line Metastatic RCC
The FGF inhibitor dovitinib failed to improve progression-free survival outcomes as a third-line treatment for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma compared with sorafenib, according to the results of a new study.
RCC Tumors in Obese Patients May Be More Indolent
New research shows that tumors found in obese patients may be more indolent than those in nonobese patients, and this may, in part, be related to alterations in fatty acid metabolism explaining the obesity paradox in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma.
New Biomarkers in Prostate Cancer
In this article, we review recent advances in the discovery of prostate cancer biomarkers, their integration into clinical practice, and implications for improving clinical management of the disease.
Improving the Early Detection of Prostate Cancer: A Balancing Act
Improved early detection of prostate cancer would ideally involve a noninvasive test that allows clinicians to distinguish aggressive cancers from relatively indolent ones. This distinction is especially important given that relatively few men who undergo screening are destined to die of prostate cancer.
Precision Medicine Approaches to the Diagnosis and Management of Prostate Cancer
For those undergoing screening for the presence of previously undiagnosed prostate cancer, the major challenge for new tests is to avoid the overdetection of indolent cancers that limits the clinical utility of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test.
Baseline PSA Testing for Men in Their 40s: Currently Available Evidence Strongly Supports Baseline PSA Measurements in This Age Group
The benefit-to-risk trade-offs associated with PSA screening are highly sensitive to patient preference, underscoring the importance of ensuring that men have the opportunity to decide for themselves whether they wish to have their individual risk for suffering and death from prostate cancer assessed through PSA screening.
Recurrence and Relapse in Testicular Cancer
Dr. Bruce Roth, Siteman Cancer Center, spoke at the 2013 ASCO meeting about topics in seminoma. Here he discusses recurrence, relapse, and seminomatous vs nonseminomatous testicular cancer.
Epidemiology of Seminoma
Dr. Bruce Roth, Professor of Oncology in the Division of Medicine at Siteman Cancer Center, Washington University at St. Louis, spoke at the 2013 ASCO meeting about topics in seminoma. Here he discusses the epidemiology of seminoma.
Surveillance for Stage I Seminoma: Part II
Dr. Bruce Roth discusses the large Danish study reported at ASCO (abstract 4502) that showed surveillance alone is sufficient after orchiectomy for stage I seminoma, focusing on its impact on post-surgery radiation therapy in this setting.

Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum's life is set to blow sky high when international murder hits dangerously close to home, in this dynamite novel by Janet Evanovich.
Before Stephanie can even step foot off Flight 127 from Hawaii to Newark, she's knee deep in trouble. Her dream vacation turned into a nightmare, she's flying back to New Jersey solo, and someone who sounds like Sasquatch is snoring in row 22. Worse still, her seatmate never returned to the plane after the L.A. layover. Now he's dead, in a garbage can, waiting for curbside pickup. His killer could be anyone. The FBI, the fake FBI, and guns-for-hire are all looking for a photograph the dead man was supposed to be carrying. Only one other person has seen the missing photograph-Stephanie Plum. Now she's the target, and she doesn't intend to end up in a garbage can. With the help of an FBI sketch artist Stephanie re-creates the person in the photo. Unfortunately the first sketch turns out to look like Tom Cruise, and the second sketch like Ashton Kutcher. Until Stephanie can improve her descriptive skills, she'll need to watch her back. Over at the Bail Bonds Agency it's business as usual-until the bonds bus serving as Vinnie's temporary HQ goes up in smoke, Stephanie's wheelman, Lula, falls in love with their "largest" FTA yet, lifetime arch nemesis Joyce Barnhardt moves into Stephanie's apartment, and everyone wants to know what happened in Hawaii?! Morelli, Trenton's hottest cop, isn't talking about Hawaii. Ranger, the man of mystery, isn't talking about Hawaii. And all Stephanie is willing to say about her Hawaiian vacation is... It's complicated.
