Health Day - ONLINE EDITION

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 18 (HealthDay News) -- In women with early breast cancer, three weeks of high-dose radiation is as effective as the current standard -- five weeks of lower-dose treatment, British researchers say.
A short course of radiation given in larger doses -- an approach called hypofractionated radiation -- is safe and effective and causes less damage to healthy surrounding tissue, according to the 10-year results of two British trials. The short course is also more convenient and less expensive.
"For most indications, a three-week course of postoperative radiotherapy can be recommended as standard of care for women with early breast cancer following breast conservation surgery or mastectomy," said study researcher Dr. John Yarnold, a professor of clinical oncology at the Institute of Cancer Research in London.
"Three weeks of treatment is gentler on the healthy tissues without loss of anti-cancer effect, so it represents an improvement for women with early breast cancer," he added.
The report, published Sept. 19 in The Lancet Oncology, may not change current practice immediately, however, said Dr. Stephanie Bernik, chief of surgical oncology at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
The short course is "a great alternative and may eventually replace long-term radiation," Bernik said. But she thinks studies conducted in the United States are needed to convince U.S. oncologists of the benefits.
"They want a little experience with it before they start doing it automatically," she added. "But you will probably see it more and more."
Already, some places in the United States use the three-week course, she said, adding, "we have been waiting for the results of a long-term study."
In this case, between 1999 and 2002, researchers conducted two trials -- U.K. Standardization of Breast Radiotherapy, known as START A and B. The trials tested different radiation doses and timing schedules among 4,451 women treated at 35 centers across the United Kingdom.
START A compared the international standard -- a total of 50 Gy given in 25 small doses over five weeks -- with two other schedules: 41.6 Gy and 39 Gy, each given in 13 treatments over five weeks.
START B compared the international standard with 40 Gy given in 15 doses of 2.67 Gy over three weeks.
Over 10 years of follow-up, the results of START A were similar regardless of the dose of radiation. In all three cases, the cancer relapse rate was about the same, ranging from 6.3 percent to 8.8 percent. Damage to surrounding tissue was also similar regardless of the dose of radiation, the researchers noted.
In START B, similar results were also seen after 10 years, with relapses ranging from 5.5 percent to 4.3 percent. Damage to surrounding tissue, however, was significantly less than in START A, the researchers found.
The outcomes of the two trials were independent of age, tumor grade, stage, chemotherapy use, or use of tumor bed boost -- additional radiation therapy, the study authors pointed out.

What do I get with an Endowment?
A full endowment of $300 provides one book every year to the Whatcom County Library System. The endowment can be established with multiple donations of lesser amounts that total at least $300 within three months. If the total does not reach $300 in three months, a one-time selection of one book with bookplate and announcement will be made.
A bookplate is placed in a selected book each year, giving the name of the person or other entity in whose honor or memory the book is purchased, as well as the name of the donor.
An announcement is sent to the person or entity being honored or to the family of the person memorialized, as specified by the donor. The donor is identified, but the amount contributed is not mentioned. A receipt is sent to each donor acknowledging the tax-deductible contribution.
A one-time donation of at least $100 provides one book to the Whatcom County Library System, and includes the bookplate and announcement. The same Endowment Form may be used.

History of the Book Endowment
The Library Book Endowment was established in 1981 for the purpose of encouraging donations toward the purchase of books as a way to mark a special life event or milestone, honor a loved-one, and support libraries and reading in Whatcom County.
The first book endowment was given to honor Audrey Liller, a charter member of the Friends of the Everson McBeath Library, by her daughter Andrea Bevan. Polly Hanson and Bernice Vossbeck brought the idea of book endowments to all of Whatcom County by forming the Friends of the Library Book Endowment associated with the Whatcom County Library System.
In 2007, the Friends of the Library Book Endowment group disbanded and donated their principle funds to the Whatcom County Library Foundation. The Foundation continues to support the Endowment and donates funds to WCLS each year.

Thread: Off to the Game!
Off to the Game!
I will be departing early to revel in Lambeau atmosphere, so I probably won't be around to impart my trash or receive your until late tonight. I will be in nosebleed area in section 133, row 57, but a quick duck behind the seats will take me to the upper concourse and much less-used bathrooms.
Anyway, my thoughts:
1) I really did not want to play the Vikings in terms of the Packers having a sure win. I would much have rather had New Orleans, Seattle, or St. Louis and felt much more confident of a victory. We're too familiar with one another to have much of an advantage over each other. No matter the record or momentum, it's 0-0 and an even playing field.
2) Being it IS the Vikings, this is the first Viking/GB game I have ever been to, and I know I am totally psyched to be there. The stadium will be alive, and I will be screaming at the top of my lungs. Vikes may not have been my first choice, but now that they are here, I'm going to wallow in the rivalry and high-stakes pressure.
3) Yahoo Sports had 6 "professionals" pick the game and playoffs. All 6 picked the Pack to win. 3 had GB in the Super Bowl. This worries me more than anything. The Packers tend to fail when expectations are highest.
4) Momentum and a quarter will buy you a cup of coffee. I don't buy momentum as an advantage. One 80 TD pass to Moss and "momentum" is now 100% the other way.
5) The Packers will win if they play to win. Sherman tends to get nervous in big games and play "not to lose". It happened in the Seattle game last year (and Al Harris saved his butt), and in the Philly game last year (NOT on 4th and 26, but on 4th and 1, when we decided to punt). I beleive if we attack and put the boot to the throat, the Viking damaged psyche will not be able to fight back. If we play tenative, though, it will be all the temptation you need to motivate yourselves.
6) This game will either be close or a blowout. This will not be a 7 point game. It will be a one point game or a 20 point game. If one team scores 14 unanswered points, its over.
7) Expectaions are huge. Most believe that the Vikings don't deserve to be in this game, so a loss will simply be icing on TIce's cake. The media will be eager to place the same "team of destiny" crap on the Packers that they did last season, because we have Favre. Yes, he's marketable.
8 ) Moss will have a huge game. He will be out to prove himself this week after his crappy week. Which will beg the question, why does he turn it on and off like that?
9) It will be a dirty game by the end, especially if someone is blowing the other out. These teams don't like each other, and neither are particuarly disciplined. John Lynch and Donovan Darius will have some company by the time this game is done.
10) Win or lose, this is what the rivalry is about.
SO, that 's my thoughts, hope you guys play a good game, a clean game, and almost well enough to win.

CATEGORIES MoviesThe production woes during the three 'Bourne' films are the stuff of moviemaking legend. Doug Liman butted heads with studio executives during 'The Bourne Identity,' and things didn't go that much smoother for 'The Bourne Supremacy' and director Paul Greengrass. Which is to say nothing of the mess that was the pre-production period during 'The Bourne Ultimatum,' the final installment in the franchise, to date, with Matt Damon. How bad did things get on 'Bourne 3'? Bad enough that Damon just told GQ in a new interview that writer Tony Gilroy's initial script draft was "unreadable."
"It's really the studio's fault for putting themselves in that position," Damon told GQ about the studio cutting a deal with Gilroy to do one script for 'Ultimatum' for "an exorbitant of money."
"I don't blame Tony for taking a boatload of money and handing in what he handed in. It's just that it was unreadable. This is a career-ender. I mean, I could put this thing up on eBay and it would be game over for that dude. It's terrible. It's really embarrassing. He was having a go, basically, and he took his money and left."
Damon and Greengrass brought in Scott Z. Burns (who wrote 'Contagion' for Steven Soderbergh) and George Nolfi to touch things up -- which they did. 'Ultimatum' was a smash hit with critics and audiences alike -- something that Damon perhaps remembered when calling up GQ to clarify his Gilroy-focused slams.
"If I didn't respect him and appreciate his talent, then I really wouldn't have cared," he said. "My feelings were hurt. That's all. And that's exactly why I shouldn't have said anything. This is between me and him. So saying anything publicly is fucking stupid and unprofessional and just kind of douchey of me."
'The Bourne Legacy' -- which stars Jeremy Renner and leaves the door open for Damon's Jason Bourne to return -- arrives in theaters in August of 2012. Tony Gilroy is the director.

Enterprise IT departments should revisit their application development strategies to follow some of the approaches used by Facebook and Twitter, argues RedMonk analyst Stephen O'Grady in a recent blog post. Specifically, he says you should invest application development resources only in applications that differentiate your business from your competitors, and rely on open-sourcing and permissive licensing to extend your reach and your development dollars. I believe he's right.
Unfortuately, most organizations develop too much software that doesn't really differentiate them; they should be using packaged or open source software instead for those needs and refocus their internal development efforts higher up the business value "stack."
[ Keep up on the current open source news and insights with InfoWorld's Technology: Open Source newsletter. ]
But in some cases, such as where there's no appropriate open source or commercial software available, you should consider developing an application in house and then open-sourcing it, using a permissive license into a third-party hosting site or foundation such as Github or Apache. The use of a permissive license, such as the Apache License, and external hosting helps others in your industry find the application. If you're fortunate, they'll contribute to evolving the application. That spreads the development costs over multiple companies.
Well, that's the theory. Putting it into practice is of course an altogether different issue. This new development model requires a major shift in line-of-businesses' and IT decision makers' mind-set. It's one thing to use an open source product, such as Linux or Alfresco, within your enterprise even while knowing your competitor is doing the same. It's entirely different to open-source, for instance, your custom-developed partner-onboarding application and watch your competitor use the application also.
If you can get over that mental barrier, do note that your company actually owns the copyrights to the source code. Some enterprise developers unwittingly use open source code for internal projects without considering the implications of its open source license. They assume, for example, that the application will never be distributed outside of the company, and thus that the license requirements will never be triggered. Many open source licenses have rules about redistribution that you must honor.

Celine Dion's new performance venue at Caesar's Palace is a colossal achievement
If all roads in Rome lead to the Coliseum, all roads in Las Vegas might soon lead to the Colosseum at Caesar's Palace, the colossal new venue where international singing star Céline Dion is taking up residence this month, and plans to stay for the next few years. Anyone who has driven down the Strip lately has been sure to notice the large round structure going up at Caesar's Palace, on the same side of the hotel as the Forum Shops.
Designed by Scéno Plus of Montreal, working in conjunction with Park Place Entertainment and CDA (Céline Dion Angelil), the Colosseum must be the largest theatre in Las Vegas at just over 4,000 seats (4,143 to be exact). To get an idea of just how large it is, the venue has a volume of 1.2 million cu. ft. in the auditorium alone (an average auditorium might be 400,000 cu. ft.).
Scéno Plus served as both design architect and theatre designer, with two highly successful theatres for Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas (one at Treasure Island and one at Bellagio) already to their credit. "Park Place Entertainment asked us to build their theatre," says Patrick Bergé, president of Scéno Plus. "Céline Dion liked the O theatre."
Bergé found the site to be interesting but challenging. "Not only is there a large culvert on the site, but we also had to keep the access road and the casino operational during the entire construction process."
While the shape of a coliseum certainly fits with the overall theme of Caesar's Palace, the form of the theatre was designed from the inside out. "Céline wanted to be as close to her audience as possible," says Bergé. "The round shape was the best, and also the best shape to fit the site. This is a freestanding theatre that says something as a building. It also makes a statement when lit at night."
The venue was built with the opening production very much a part of the scenario. Franco Dragone, highly acclaimed for the productions he directed for Cirque du Soleil, has directed this show, working with frequent collaborators scenic designer Michel Crête and Dominique Lemieux, as well as lighting designer Yves Aucoin, and sound designer Denis Savage. Says Bergé, "Franco Dragone wanted to immerse the audience in the show."Widescreen format
Extremely wide, the proscenium arch measures 120' across, 44' high, and 2'8" thick. This gives the stage the look of Cinemascope, very long and wide, which fits the concept of the decor designed by Crête (all information about the actual performance was still under wraps at the time this article was written). The high grid sits 90'4" above the stage, with a lower grid at 67'9".
There are also two levels of catwalks, at 51'10" and 68'9" above the stage, as well as on stage right and stage left. Another two catwalks above the audience sit at 68"9" as well. The catwalks serve primarily as lighting positions.
The roundness of the building means that the backstage wall is round, following the exterior contours. "We also had to ask what the stage will look like when Céline is not there," notes Bergé. "It is hard to have to design a set on a curved stage without wings." With this in mind, the proscenium opening can be closed fully, leaving a 40'-wide by 20'-deep area in front of the proscenium arch for smaller shows or solo acts.
Gala Theatrical Equipment of Montreal installed the rigging in the theatre with battens 150' wide to clear the proscenium opening. "A counterweight system was not possible with a round back wall, and the proscenium is so wide there is no way to have a rectangular frame," explains Claude-André Roy, the principal theatre designer who served as project manager for Scéno Plus. "There are dead-haul winches instead." Each of the 52 line sets (48 straight and four curved) holds up to 3,000lb and can move at 5' per second.
"This is not a complicated theatre in terms of stage machinery," avers Roy. "The challenge was the sheer size of over 4,000 people. It's a question of scale. The original idea was to have Céline surrounded by the audience with a sensible scale." As a star like Dion can only do one show per evening, the venue needed to be as large as possible. "It's difficult to have an intimate feeling in such a large theatre, yet it depends on the number of people in the volume, so this theatre has an intimate feeling in spite of its size."
To help enforce the feeling of intimacy, the red upholstered seats are closer together than at the Bellagio theatre, for example. Here there is 39" row-to-row (back of seat to back of seat) on the main level and just 36" in the balcony where the backs of seats are straighter. "The closer the seats are, the more intimate the experience is," says Roy. "People react more as a group." The seats are by Irwin Seating Company in Grand Rapids, MI, and were supplied by Sierra School Equipment in Bakersfield, CA.
In the Colosseum, the downstairs center seats seem very close to the stage, thanks to the round configuration. "The technical challenge is not to lose the original idea to stay circular, with the audience around Céline, and near her. No compromises were made throughout the entire process."
The concrete stage floor is built with what Roy calls "a depression, with a stick structure." This is in fact an area of the stage floor with steel beams and a light concrete slab that can be cut away. "You can cut the concrete and put in a lift where you want, by taking away the beams and columns inside a rectangular space on the stage," explains Roy. "You can put the slabs back eventually." Certain openings were left for the traps required by the Céline Dion production. The scenic lifts for the show are also by Gala.
The stage is 8' above street level because of the slope of the land. Stairs lead from the casino into the theatre. The loading dock is one level lower, 18" below the stage, with a large scenic elevator by Protech of Las Vegas to bring the scenery to the stage level. The loading dock is designed to hold two large trucks and one smaller one at the same time.That Celine Sound
One of the biggest challenges in such a large space was the acoustics, also undertaken by Scéno Plus with the collaboration of its long-standing acoustician Jean-Pierre Legault. "The performance is high-energy, like a pop concert," says Roy. "We worked very closely with Céline's sound designer, Denis Savage, who identified potential problems for her in such a large room. It could have sounded too loud in the low frequencies and needed sound absorption materials." These include fiberglass acoustical pillows on the ceiling that measure 4'×8' and are 1' thick. "Very low frequencies that would not dissipate will die in those pillows," says Roy. "The ceiling is like a large sound muffler suspended, not attached, to absorb better." This is a new Scéno Plus design concept.
The sound equipment, specified by Denis Savage and François Desjardins of CDA Productions and coordinated by Scéno Plus, was supplied and installed as a joint venture between Solotech of Montreal and Audio Analysts of Colorado Springs, CO. The main PA consists of 16 Meyer Sound M3D full range line array loudspeakers, 12 Meyer Sound M3D-Sub directional subwoofers, 16 Meyer Sound M2D compact curvilinear array loudspeakers, four Meyer Sound SB-2 parabolic wide-range sound beams with two Meyer Sound CQ-1 wide coverage loudspeakers and eight Meyer Sound USW compact subwoofers for front fill.
Rounding out the space are a total of 72 Meyer Sound UPM series ultra-compact loudspeakers concealed in the second and third balcony ceilings to provide delay fill and surround effects, and nine Meyer Sound UPA series compact loudspeakers for additional sound effects reinforcement in the main seating bowl. The complete speaker system is monitored by Meyer Sound's Remote Monitoring System providing complete status of all the speakers at the FOH mix position.
The main FOH console is a Solid State Logic MT Production board. The monitor mix is provided by a fully configured Yamaha PM1D with 16 stereo channels of Sennheiser in-ear monitoring and a full complement of dynamics and effects processors. The speaker drive is provided by custom programmed BSS Sound Web units. Bob Barbagallo of Solotech served as the prime project manager for the sound equipment installation with support from Audio Analysts' Ron Howard and Will Lewis. Barbagallo recalls, "One of the major challenges we faced was having most of the electronics in Montreal for the band rehearsals prior to the installation. From the time we received the audio equipment in Las Vegas we had 12 days to complete the installation and be ready for rehearsals, a challenge we accomplished on time."
Another challenge in the theatre is what Roy refers to as "Vegas throat," a condition that affects singers in the desert climate. "Singers need extra humidity. The desert is too dry for vocal chords. But if you put humidity in the building you'd also need to put in vapor barriers, so we didn't add humidity."
Instead, Scéno Plus created a microclimate around the zone on the stage where Céline Dion sings. "There are vents around her feet to allow humid air to enter her environment, like a bubble around her, to protect her voice," says Roy. "You can control the temperature up to 100°F, and you can have up to 80% humidity, to keep it warm and humid. This is a unique solution."
Along the back wall of the stage is a large, curved LED screen by Mitsubishi (with images via a Sony video suite), 120' wide by 40' high, with catwalks every 8' to allow performers to walk through doors in the screen. "This may be the largest LED screen in the world," says Roy. "The image is the most beautiful I have ever seen." Additional projection equipment includes Lightning 28sx three-chip DLP projectors by Digital Projection mounted on the catwalks, and E\T\C Audiovisuel Pigi projectors in the projection booth at the back of the lower-level seating.
Lighting systems include both theatrical and architectural (Elwyn Gee in San Francisco executed the architectural lighting that uses an ETC Unison control system). Scéno Plus, working closely with Yves Aucoin, Céline Dion's lighting designer, coordinated the theatrical lighting package. The conventional lighting package was supplied by Fourth Phase Las Vegas and installed by Bombard Electric of Las Vegas.
Melissa Wilreker was the project manager for Fourth Phase, with Jim Holladay as on-site manager for Fourth Phase, along with Randy Kee, working for Fourth Phase as field technician. Mike Gurule was the project foreman for Bombard Electric. Adam Steyh of Fourth Phase served as liaison to Scéno Plus, and Sharon Fitzgerald, director of sales for the western region for Fourth Phase, served as managing director for this project.
The theatrical lighting package includes 14 racks of ETC Sensor dimmers, two Compulite Sabre consoles, over 250 Lekos and 180 fresnels from Strand Lighting, 90 Robert Juliat 2kW profile zooms, 500 PARs (ETC and Altman), 132 Strand cyclights, 90 Compulite color scrollers, and five Robert Juliat followspots (four Aramis and one Ivanhoe). There are also seven MDG fog and haze generators (three Max5000 fog generators and four Atmosphere haze generators). This part of the lighting package belongs to the venue.
The automated lighting package, provided by CDA, includes: 20 Vari*Lite® VL2202™ automated spot luminaires, 60 Clay Paky Stage Zoom Profile Pluses, 80 Vari*Lite VL2416™ automated wash luminaires, 15 Syncrolite SX3K 3kW xenon luminaires, three Syncrolite SX7K 7kW xenon luminaires, and 20 Vari*Lite VL1000AS™ automated ellipsoidals.
The theatrical lighting system and the Unison architectural control system tie into the ETC network. "The key is the ETC Net2 Ethernet system with a fully redundant fiber-optic backbone and Cat5 distribution," explains Holladay. "If a fiber cable went down, there is an alternate way to route the Ethernet data."
"There are routers and switchers that receive data and know which specific device to send it to, rather than standard 'dumb' hubs," Holladay adds. "It makes it a more complicated system but also more reliable, while maintaining the bandwidth for the Ethernet."
Doug Truttup served as ETC project manager at the factory in Wisconsin, making sure the system was built properly, with ETC's Las Vegas field service technician David Tramontina on-site to troubleshoot the high-tech electronics. "The challenge was to deliver a functioning theatre and at the same time meet the needs for the production," says Holladay. There is no doubt that when the production opens it will be one of the hottest tickets in town.

The Greenways and Trails program is here to encourage Tennessee communities to save their special green spaces, to promote the volunteer spirit ofTennesseans and to work to preserve and conserve the natural and culturalresources that make each community in our state special.
Greenways have been defined in the Tennessee Greenways and Trails Planas linear open spaces established along either a natural corridor, suchas a riverfront, stream valley or ridgeline, or overland along a railroadright-of-way converted to recreational use, a canal, scenic road or otherroute.
Greenways can be any natural or landscaped area that allows for pedestrianor bicycle passage; an open-space corridor that can link parks, nature preserves, historic or cultural features, schools and neighborhoods witheach other. Greenway trails can be used for alternative transportation,recreation and health/fitness activities.
"Walk with Me Tennessee" is a self-assessment tool for cities and counties that focuses on a variety of aspects, including: planning, health and fitness opportunities, infrastructure, connecting community areas and safety. It ranks the community's walkability, and provides pertinent planning information to help communities increase their pedestrian friendliness.

Transgender Day of Remembrance is a day that occurs annually to remember those who have been killed as a result of transphobia -- but in Dubuque, it's also a time when people can learn about the community.
Transphobia is the hatred or fear of transgender people.
The day is celebrated internationally on Nov. 20, and Wednesday evening it was celebrated in Dubuque at Mindframe Theaters. This is the first year Dubuque has held a Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Rachael Ferraro is a transgender woman in Dubuque. She says the transgender community is often misunderstood.
"People think that we are just people who dress up for a while and go home and change back into whatever clothes," Ferraro said. "Well, in actuality, we are people who live this way 24/7 -- every day."
Although the Transgender Day of Remembrance is a day to remember those who have been killed, Ferraro says she hopes it's also a day to help teach others more about the transgender community.
"It's kind of a somber day, but I think the first time having this here in Dubuque, it seems that we want to bring out more what the transgender community is here in Dubuque," Ferraro said.
Ferraro says the transgender community in Dubuque is currently very protected.
"The transgender community here in Dubuque is very, very protected, I would say," she said. "They do hide who they are."
The Transgender Day of Remembrance in Dubuque is also seen as a way to help Dubuque become a more welcoming community.
In October, the city of Dubuque launched Inclusive Dubuque, an initiative looking to do just that -- become a more welcoming and well-connected place, especially when it comes to retaining newcomers.
"Dubuque's changing, given that we are trying to be a more inclusive and diverse community," said Manisha Paudel, a human relations specialist for the City of Dubuque. "We want to be prepared for the current residents that have identified or may identify in the future, and for the ones that are coming to Dubuque in the future."
Lynn Sutton, a member of the Dubuque City Council, agreed.
"It's another part of the acceptance of everyone," Sutton said. "Sometimes we as humans get troubled as to who is everyone. 'Everyone' can be seen as everyone who is like us, and 'everyone' can be seen as everyone who is not like us.
"But as being part of Inclusive Dubuque, it is about everyone," she added. "Inclusively means that everyone is at the table and having fun with everybody and enjoying themselves. That is what we are striving to do and sometimes we have to take baby steps, but we have to keep moving forward."
Ferraro hopes events like the Transgender Day of Remembrance in Dubuque will help Dubuque become even more transgender-friendly.
"What would be great here in Dubuque is if people could not point fingers at us when we are walking by," Ferraro said. "If they could not snicker, turn their heads and laugh. If we could just be accepted as another group of people here in Dubuque."

Schools all over East
Texas celebrated Red Ribbon week last week, but there are still schools celebrating
the drug free week this week. One of those is Corrigan- Camden Independent
School District and the Youth Overcomers group. The two held a meeting for
students and parents tonight at Corrigan Elementary School.
The event featured a skit about why it is
important to live drug free and a special demonstration by the Corrigan Police
Department and their drug dog, Lei.
"We want to educate the
parents to take more notice of the children," YO President Joe Walker said. "Their
attitude and things they are doing at home. We just want to catch their
attention when it comes down to drugs and alcohol."
The group is a collaboration
between the schools and faith based counselors.
For more information on how
you can get involved in YO, call Walker at (936) 634-7605 or the Corrigan Housing
Authority at (936) 398-5351.

Notes: Greene hoping to return quickly
Catcher aiming to avoid surgery on dislocated shoulder
PEORIA, Ariz. -- The MRI on Todd Greene's shoulder confirmed a dislocated right shoulder, which he hurt while throwing in practice Wednesday.A Padres spokesman said Greene's right arm would be in a sling for two to three weeks and he would be re-evaluated after that. "He is trying to decide between two options, rehab or having surgery," Padres manager Buddy Black said Friday. "I believe he is leaning toward rehab." It is an easy decision for Greene. "Surgery is going to be the last and final option," Greene said. Greene, who is 35 and was in camp as a non-roster invite, believes he should be able to return after rehabbing the shoulder. "It has been before, so it is not like uncharted territory," Greene said. The Padres were completing what Black described as "low-intensity" drills when Greene went down in pain and had to be helped to the trainer's room. "It wasn't fun," Greene said. "I went to throw and the next thing you know, I'm on the ground and my arm was kind of locked in position. I was just thankful the doctors were here that day to give physicals to the rest of the players, so I didn't have to stay in that position very long." While it is very doubtful Greene would be available for the season opener on April 3 at San Francisco, if he avoids surgery and has no setbacks in rehabbing the shoulder, he might not miss that much of the season. "If you're looking for a silver lining," Greene said that would be it. "There is nothing good ever about doing it. It is better to happen now than March 30, for sure." He said "everybody is different" on the timeframe for the rehab. "Generally, you'll know in a couple of weeks how you're doing," he said. "It is getting better every single day. I have to keep it in [a sling] for protective range, I guess is what you call it." Greene said he may go home to Georgia for a few days.

Florence police arrested a teenager on theft charges Monday.
Investigators said the 17-year-old was charged with first degree theft of a motor vehicle, two counts of breaking and entering a motor vehicle and two counts of third degree theft.
The arrest came after multiple vehicle burglaries were reported last week at Mars Hill Manor Apartments.
Police said the teen was identified after surveillance video at the complex caught the crimes on tape.
The teen was booked and released to a family member shortly after his arrest.
Investigators said more charges are likely and the case remains under investigation.

It's an odd word for a political tactic: it means a time out, a break. It was dreamed up in 1969, at the height of the Vietnam War by people who had tried and failed with Eugene McCarthy's peace candidacy the year before. (Not SDS, we should add). The original notion was a nationwide general strike until the war ended, but that's reaching really far, since people don't stop working just because a small group of organizers ask them to. So the goal was lowered to a general outpouring of anti-war sentiment. It worked.
The original Vietnam Moratorium, October 15, 1969, was a decentralized anti-war demonstration in which literally millions showed their opposition to the war around the world in a vast variety of ways. There were many school walkouts and closures; local demonstrations involving thousands around the country (a quarter of a million in D.C.; 100,000 in
Why now? The anti-war movement, for a variety of reasons, has hit a plateau since the war began in 2003, despite the majority sentiment in the country against the war. No strategies have emerged to grow the movement. The thinking behind the Iraq Moratorium is that the moment is right for nationally coordinated local anti-war actions which will allow people to express their anti-war sentiments wherever they are and in a variety of ways. At the same time the Moratorium gives local groups a focus. For example, a campus anti- war organization can decide to do whatever's appropriate for their school-a teach-in, a walk-out, a vigil, a film showing, a sit-in at a recruitment center. It's all good!
The growth of the anti-war movement has to be seen as our current goal, not just a means. Every action, every demonstration should be judged by one single criterion: does it bring more people? We think that the biggest stumbling block up to now has been the too widespread belief that neither individual nor collective actions have no effect. The moratorium, allowing for a variety of tactics with one single focus, coordinated nationally and possibly internationally, has a chance of bringing antiwar expression into mainstream society. Sept. 21 will be the first moratorium day, followed by succeeding moratoriums (moratoria?) each third Friday of every month. If enough people and groups catch on, the movement grows.
The new Students for a Democratic Society, at its recent national convention, has endorsed the Moratorium.
Other national organizations and networks that have endorsed the Iraq Moratorium include United for Peace and Justice, Military Families Speak Out, Gold Star Families for Peace, Code Pink, US Labor Against the War, Voters for Peace, Progressive Democrats of America, Veterans for Peace, the War Resisters League, and Food Not Bombs.
Many active local and regional antiwar groups have also jumped on board. Too many to name, but they have been the heart and soul of the antiwar movement during the last years of debacle after scandal. These groups have been conducting regular vigils, educational events, direct actions, etc. Now is the time to unite.
You don't need to be active already to make this happen. Talk to a few people in your school, neighborhood, workplace. Figure out what might be reasonable and useful to express your antiwar sentiment and to attract other people. Check out the website, www.iraqmoratorium.org for ideas. Especially look under the section "local reports."
There is also a Spanish language site: MoratorioIrak.org
In the Bay Area, for example, you'll find that a coalition of groups is getting together to organize thirty simultaneous actions. Now that's ambitious! In LA, the Central Labor Council, and the United Teachers of Los Angeles are organizing workers and teachers.
The main strategic task facing the antiwar movement is to build and grow consciousness of the imperial ambitions of the
History has shown that the only way to sway the "powers that be" lies in the ever increasing mobilization and organization of diverse, broad public groupings against the manipulations and calculations of what Chomsky has called the "pragmatic planners of American Empire." Raising the social cost of the war at home is our long- term goal, undermining the "pillars" that support the continuation of the war and occupation. Check out Tom Hayden's new book, "Ending the War in
The Moratorium is only what local groups and individuals make of it. It is not the whole solution, but it is a strategy for dissent to focus on, an opportunity to unite divergent groups and bridge the chasm between the passive antiwar majority and the militant minority of active antiwar activists and organizers.

More tracks by Daniel Dexter
Zombie Disco Squad return with a remix package that can only be described as incendiary. A hand picked selection of the finest production talent have tooled up and taken on a selection of tracks from Zombie Disco Squad's debut album 'Brains'. First up is 'Righteous Sound', the collaboration with Omar as well as new interpretations of 'Twerk', featuring DJ Funk and an ode to a night out in San Antonio 'Ibiza Hooligan'.
First in to the battle is Monkey Safari; the boys from Germany rework 'Be Down' from a party shuffler to deep house bubbler. Bringing the hi-hits and vocals to the fore the track becomes more back room than big room, skilfully soulful whilst still likely to cause a compound fracture of your kneecaps. If you haven't heard of Dirty Bird affiliate Shadow Child, then it's clearly you that that has been kept in the dark. Stepping into the light, Shadow Child's remix of 'Ibiza Hooligan' ramps up all the best parts of the original with bone shaking bass lines and key stabs in the best possible way.
The third remix comes courtesy of Daniel Dexter, morphing the soulfulness of the 'Righteous Sound' original into a straight up house groove, a touch of acid and a deeper than deep bass line all underpinned by Daniel's self professed love of Chicago house, it's one for the heads. The second remix of 'Ibiza Hooligan' is from Anglo-American lads the Wildkats and it's a total eighties child albeit one living in the year 2012. It's a synth-laden, bass line rolling party track. Whilst on the subject of party tracks Mercury's remix of 'Goodnight' will also be found in all it's jump up keyboard and cut up vocal glory on a hands in the air (rather than heads down) based dance floor very soon.
The last two remixes are Sascha Robotti's version of 'Twerk' and the Beatport Remix
Competition winner Nick Sabin's remix of 'Righteous Sound'. Whilst Sasha's remix is anadrenaline filled modern house belter that promises to help give you exactly what the name of the name of the track implies, Nick Sabin 's mix is an unlikely fusion of progressive house and garage and manages to make the two seemingly disparate genres have an arm wrestle with neither ending up the loser.

Here are some whispers that we've heard recently regarding the NFC North:
• Although he is widely considered the weak link on the Packers' offensive line, the consensus in Green Bay is that OLG Daryn Colledge is playing much better than he did last season, especially in pass protection. But we hear it remains to be seen whether he has improved enough to help his chances of being re-signed after his contract expires at the end of the season.
• Although Tony Dungy has said repeatedly he is happy with his NBC gig, we hear he could be someone the Vikings might be interested in talking to. Owner Zygi Wilf might want to restructure his front office and could go for a magistrate type to oversee the team's operations. And beyond Dungy's obvious ties to the area with his alma mater and having formerly worked for the Vikings, he also has close connections to Leslie Frazier, whom he coached with in Indianapolis.
• The Lions could be looking for two new starters at linebacker. They love DeAndre Levy in the middle and think he'll be a star, but it's clear that the OLB spots need an injection of talent and youth. Expect it to be a prime area of focus in the offseason.
• The Bears have been encouraged by second-year DE Henry Melton's play this season, and he's been getting more praise from team observers of late after making a sack in each of the past two games. Melton is emerging as a substitute who can contribute quality snaps while keeping starting DEs Julius Peppers and Israel Idonije fresh.

The Patriots announced Monday that they have signed seventh-round draft choice Brandon Deaderick, a defensive lineman from Alabama. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Deaderick, a 6-4, 305-pounder, is the sixth member of New England's 12 2010 draft choices to sign with the team, joining WR Taylor Price (third round), TE Aaron Hernandez (fourth round), P Zoltan Mesko (fifth round), OL Ted Larsen (sixth round) and OL Thomas Welch (seventh round).
In PFW's 2010 Draft Preview, personnel analyst Nolan Nawrocki wrote that Deaderick, who started 31-of-44 career games for Nick Saban at Alabama, has "good anchor strength — is strong at the point and can occupy blockers" and is "versatile and has lined up all along the defensive line." Both attributes should serve him well in the Patriots' 3-4 scheme.

Margaret Atwood is one of those rare authors with an imagination so big she has the ability to take you places you never thought possible. In "Oryx and Crake," Atwood takes the reader to the future -- a future not too far removed from our present, but a future where things have gone very wrong.
Snowman is the only one left. He's alone living in the woods. Snowman was once named Jimmy, and he had a best friend he called Crake. As Snowman jumps back in time to his childhood and the events leading up to his dark situation, we get a glimpse of a time much like our own where over population and over use of natural resources has left humankind in a bad situation.
Jimmy grows up in a bio-tech corporation compound where everything is safe. He is one of the lucky ones. Outside the compound, in the "pleeblands," starvation, disease and destruction are a way of life for those living there.
As humans struggle to improve life by crossing animals and splicing vegetables, there are unforeseen consequences. A combination of these small scientific and genetic technological advances and global warming lead humankind to a total apocalyptic ending. Through Snowman's recollections, we slowly learn what happened to humankind and what tragic events led to the end of the world as we know it. Now Snowman is the only one left.
One of the most fascinating things about "Oryx and Crake" is that Atwood has taken current scientific advances and added onto them until they have turned into something destructive and harmful. Many of today's news headlines are the starting point for her vision of destruction. Gene-splicing, SARS, globalization, genetically-modified foods, cloning -- these are all familiar things to the reader that lead Atwood's vision to a dark cataclysmic event. Humans start here, and, with every advance, destroy a little more of the world. Atwood gives a glimpse of a future that could very easily become our reality.
I'm typically not a huge science fiction fan, but this is more apocalyptic fiction than anything. There are no flying cars or space shuttles. There is only a dark, bleak future that is frighteningly familiar.
Atwood has written a sequel to "Oryx and Crake" called "The Year of the Flood" which received great acclaim and reviews. After finishing "Oryx and Crake," I'm looking forward to diving into the next apocalyptic vision Atwood has created. Her imagination never fails, and her vision of our future is scary, but it is also unique and compelling.

Town Square
Parking, infrastructure woes loom large in 2013
Original post made on Dec 12, 2012
Read the full story here Web Link posted Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 11:15 PM

Parking should start with a simple change. Make all city lots and garages pay per hour and get rid of all the silly color zones which is nothing more than confusing. Allow cars to park for more than 2 hours at a reasonable fee by paying at a nearby machine. Allow parking permit holders to park also but the only advantage being that they get a slight discount and avoid the necessity of the necessity of buying a ticket at the machine and walking back to the car.
Infrastructure is a more difficult topic to define. We have various types of construction all over the city, causing traffic problems and they should be expedited as quickly as possible.
Sort out the traffic mess at T & C, one method maybe to redesign Alma/SandHill/ECR intersection to enable traffic to move where it needs to go and remove much of the traffic needing to turn at ECR/Embarcadero and ECR/Churchill.
Expand the shuttle around town to serve all areas, particularly in getting students to the secondary schools and charge a fare rather than making them free. This will get more traffic off the roads in school commute time.
on Dec 12, 2012 at 8:43 am
Finally, stop wasting time debating non-city issues and plastic bag bans.
on Dec 12, 2012 at 9:04 am
The T&C problem is a glaring mess that needs to be addressed immediately. It is causing rampant anger and frustration. Whoever designed this mess should be held responsible for all the fender benders it has caused in and around the shopping center.
Infrastructure needs to take priority over downtown parking, though, because decay is a safety issue.

Quick question: Who wouldn't want to watch iconic actor/college professor/jazz musician Peter Weller valiantly battle a destructive, malicious New York City rat for nearly an hour-and-a-half? It's a tough temptation to resist, especially if you have an overwhelming hatred of prehensile-tailed vermin and a special place in your heart for "Robocop" and/or "Naked Lunch." Did I mention that the film in question is also the big screen debut of the undisputed queen of the erotic thriller, Shannon Tweed?
I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm just as excited about the 20th Anniversary Special Edition of Rick Sloane's entertainingly abysmal 1988 "Critters" wannabe "Hobgoblins" as I am the upcoming release of Fred Dekker's cult favorite "Night of the Creeps." Sad?
It ain't easy being a boy-toy. Just ask Jack Wade. With his acting career going nowhere he thought he'd hit the jackpot when he hooked up with and eventually married a rich Hollywood executive. Life was good for a while until Frankie, his wife, went under the knife for some liposuction and ended up in coma.
This is a bit of old news (in Internet time), but I thought it was well worth sharing for those of you that missed its first runaround. Fascinated by the pre-Mortal Kombat days of gaming, flickr user Steven Lefcort (tastypaints.com) materialized what he had always imagined when he was offing baddies in the innocent 8-bit days.
The crew revisits "A Nightmare on Elm St.", before Platinum Dunes reinterprets the classic 80's film in next year's scheduled remake.
Since we've recently taken on more reviewers here at Bloody Good Horror, it's given me a little bit of extra time each week that in the past was spent reviewing screeners. This has allowed me to do something that's been sorely needed in the last few years, ie dipping back into horrors of old and continuing to expand my horizons as a purveyor of the horror genre on the internet.
Anthony Perkins would've been 77 years old on April 4th, 2009. Sadly, Perkins was diagnosed with AIDS after a blood test in 1990 and eventually died from pneumonia in 1992. Perkins was a well established stage and television actor before he was tabbed by Hitchcock to play Norman Bates in "Psycho" in 1960. After "Psycho", he would go on to enjoy a solid film career centered more on European productions than domestic work.
1982's "Strange Behavior" is a strange little movie. It's a mad scientist/revenge film, that was set in Middle America and shot in New Zealand. It features high level character actors but pairs them with kiwi first-timers that are incapable of anything approaching a yank accent. In places it is tonally similar to Gary Sherman's "Dead and Buried" which was released the same year, but it wants to be more of an homage to 50's era sci-fi/horror.
Latino review just posted this pretty intricate video review of the working script for Platinum Dunes "Nightmare on Elm St.". It's not exactly spoiler heavy, but it does outline the characters, Freddy's back story, and the main impetus of the plot. There was a revalation in the last 1:00 or so that I'm not totally jazzed about knowing early, so consider yourself warned.
The script sounds pretty interesting, except for all of the vomit inducing pop culture references they seem to have crammed in. Example, we first meet the main "teens" while they're playing Guitar Hero. Yikes.
We take a run at John Carpenter's "They Live", a fun, campy 80's horror flick with strong human and political themes.
... and other words for "boner".
We discuss alien garbage chutes. And, other things...

"Dad, please! Please! I'll never ask for anything again! I promise. Just let me have one for a week or two. I'll take care of it and do everything for it. Please. Uncle Pete will give me one. I know he will. All you have to do is tell him you don't care."
"Jenn, I can't believe you actually want one. You will be the laughing stock of the town. What would you ever do with it?"
"Dad, please! You have to let me. I love them so much."
Conversations like this went on and on between my dad and me for two years.
Then a family friend came up with the perfect solution to my problem.
"Jenn, you are going about this all wrong. You shouldn't ask your dad to get you one. He lives with you, he would have to live with it. Who do you know who would do anything in the world for you? Your grandpa. So ask him. Maybe he'll get you what you really want so much."
I listened to him and asked my grandpa. And the next week ...
"Uncle Pete, what are you doing here? Sorry, but Mom and Dad aren't home. They went out to eat. To tell you the truth, they should be home by now. Who knows where they could have gone."
"Well, I don't need to talk to your parents. I came to see you."
"Yes, you. Look."
Well, I couldn't even get out the words "thank you" before I was out the door and down across the little dirt road, not even taking the time to put on shoes. One flying leap brought me up on that old brown truck, where I saw it. After two years it was finally here. Two minutes later my parents came home.
"You knew. You didn't tell me. How could you not tell me? How long have you known?"
But there wasn't time to hear their answers. I wanted to spend all the time in the world with my new friend.
I told my parents that she would be taken care of fully by me and that is exactly what happened. I got up to feed her at 6:30 a.m., walked her, sat and talked to her, and even let my dog play with her. It was the weekend of a lifetime. Who would have thought one could have such a good time watching Sunflower, the cow? 1

SHREVEPORT, La. (KALB News Channel 5) – A Bossier City man pleads guilty to making counterfeit. This is according to United States Attorney Stephanie Finley. Dakota Mallory Robinson, 24 pleaded guilty for making counterfeit Federal Reserve notes on Wednesday, July 24.
According to evidence presented at the guilty plea, a duplex manager called the Bossier City Police Department to report that a maintenance worker had observed Robinson making counterfeit money in his apartment with the door open to the public.
A search of the apartment on Feb. 8, 2013 revealed $2,020 worth of counterfeit $20 bills. There was also said to be a printer, uncut sheets of counterfeit $20 bills, and other related items.
Robinson faces up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000 for the charge.
The sentencing date is set for Oct. 24, 2013.

Barrowford iconic building set for refurbishment
10:08am Thursday 12th January 2012 in Barrowford By Tyrone Marshall, Reporter
ONE of the most iconic buildings in Barrowford is set to be opened as a community centre within months.
Barrowford Parish Council is to take ownership of Holmefield House, in Gisburn Road, in a matter of days with contracts being exchanged with Pendle Council.
A management group for the building has already been set up to look at running the community centre and to see what community groups and activities can be housed there.
Coun John Pope, chairman of the parish council, said: "The contracts were originally due to be exchanged before Christmas but there was a hitch over gas and electricity certificates, which has now been sorted out.
"The planning to open it as a community centre is well under way. As soon as the building is in our control and is usable, things will start happening. There is work that needs carrying out but it's nothing major and all the funding is in place for it."
Funding has been secured from the Barrowford and Western Parishes area committee (£20,000), National Lottery's Awards for All scheme (£9,800) and Lancashire County Council funds (£800).
That will help to pay for refurbishment of the kitchen and new tables and chairs for the community and meeting area.
Barrowford Luncheon Club, which is currently run at the Civic Hall, will be one of the first groups to move into the centre.
Coun Pope said: "It is such a prominent building in Barrowford and it really is a very positive acquisition.
"I think it will take a few months for things to settle down but in the long term it will run for years and will be the main meeting place for the area for years to come.
"I think it is going to be a fantastic facility."

It seems to be pretty well supported by people I speak with in the village. I'd call it a marvellous opportunity!
This building was 'stolen' by from Barrowford by Pendle council some years ago, and now Barrowford council have been stupid enough to 'buy' it back for £250,000. This will put £5.00 extra per year for virtually ever, on to Barrowford residents tax bill. We already have the highest tax bill in Pendle so heaven only knows what it will be in the future.

PLATTSBURGH — A Samuel F. Vilas Home shift supervisor faces felony charges in connection with the theft of narcotics from an elderly resident there.
Tamara M. Terry, 37, of Peru was arrested Wednesday afternoon.
City Police said in a press release that, over an extended time period at the adult home, Terry removed a resident's Oxycodone from the blister packaging, substituted the pills with Tylenol, then re-sealed the blister packs "to conceal her larceny."
"The 're-blistered' medication was subsequently taken by the patient in place of the Oxycodone over an extended period of time," police said.
Vilas Home administrators contacted City Police in March to report the missing medication, authorities said, and Terry was arrested following an investigation by department detectives.
She is charged with two felonies: second-degree endangering the welfare of a vulnerable elderly person and second-degree assault.
The assault charge, police said, stems from the endangering charge and also for "recklessly causing physical injury to another person," police said.
"In this case, the physical injury is the substantial pain from not receiving the correct medication."
The Vilas Home declined to comment on Terry's case.

(CNN) - Opening statements were delivered Monday in the first trial related to the Boston Marathon bombing.
Prosecutors allege Azmat Tazhayakov helped dispose of accused bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's items after the attack. And they say he knew the identity of the bombers before the public found out.
They say he knew exactly what he was doing when he helped a friend ditch a laptop and backpack that belonged to Tsarnaev, a classmate.
But his lawyers argue Tazhayakov did everything he could to assist the FBI. Tazhayakov is charged with obstructing justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice.
His roommate, Dias Kadyrbayev, who will have a separate trial, faces the same charges, which carry a maximum sentence of 20 years.
Both have pleaded not guilty.
Another friend, Robel Phillipos, pleaded not guilty to making false statements.
