Blackpool hotels
Each year Blackpool plays host to the largest magic convention in the world, which is an intriguing and fascinating spectacle for tourists and convention-goers alike. While the town has no purpose-built convention centres, numerous venues, including first-class hotels like Norbreck Castle Hotel and Convention Centre, with rooms holding up to 4,000 participants, and Blackpool FC Hotel, offer ample room and facilities for conventions, including banquets.
Blackpool offers an exquisite range of dining options, from fast food for a quick, on-the-go snack, to fine dining in Michelin starred restaurants, such as Twelve, which offers a contemporary, quintessentially British menu, with locally sourced and inspired produce.
With everything from boutique and independent stores and to large chain stores, Blackpool offers a wide range of shopping choices. Those who love the traditional Blackpool experience absolutely must visit the Golden Mile along the seafront, where you can purchase the traditional "Kiss me Quick" hat and a stick of Blackpool rock.
Major Points of Interest
Blackpool has multiple points of interest that encourage visitors from all across the world. Every autumn, thousands of people flock to see the Blackpool Illuminations, which is a stunning light festival with six miles of light displays to enjoy. You should also visit Blackpool Tower, inspired by the Eiffel tower, and home to the world-famous Blackpool Tower Ballroom, home each year to Strictly Come Dancing, as well as a host of other dancing events, including the world modern jive championships.
Blackpool is home to Blackpool FC, where ardent fans attend every home game to support the affectionately known "Tangerines." For those who want to get involved in sports, or for those who want some family fun, play miniature golf, attend Blackpool Swimming Centre, or head to one of Blackpool's modern, stylish gyms.

So, as some of you may know, I have been extremely frustrated with the fact that NBA2K14 had been absolutely horrid with their updates on the Phoenix Suns roster.
That all changed today.
Now, whereas I used to look like this every time I checked their stats:
I now look like this:
Let me explain what was going on.
The Suns, until now were rated as the 27th worst team in the NBA, despite having one of the leagues top 11 or 12 records. Maybe everyone thought we were going to fall back down to earth or something, but that shouldn't matter. The NBA2k guys were promoting their new living roster system as updating ALL players on a game by game basis, meaning, every real life game can have an effect on their stats. Despite that, Dragic stayed a 78 up until now for the entire duration of this season (while players like Lance Stephenson (83) and Darren Collison (81) received more stat updates and higher rankings for no reason).
They have finally taken some notice, and I am happy to say that The Dragon is now rated an 82 (arguably should be even higher.....) and Gerald Green is now rated a 76 (up from a 70, and at points 69, earlier in the season).
We went from the 27th ranked overall team (without Bledsoe), to the 17th ranked overall team (without Bledsoe).
We are rated 5th in offense, and 23rd in defense.
Now, lets focus on some other parts of the roster, which have still not received any meaningful upgrades:
Bledsoe is rated as an 84, when not injured. His edge over Dragic is probably due to his suffocating defense.
Barbosa is probably where he should be at 70 (at this point in his career).
Ish Smith is slightly overrated for some reason at 71.
Markieff for some reason is still rated as a 69, despite being one of the best 6th men in the NBA this year.
Miles started off the season as a 62, but has been raised to a 69 in recent weeks. I think he deserves a tad higher, but I'll take it.
PJ is rated as a 69, and while this could also be a bit higher, I think it makes sense. He plays great D and can hit corner 3's in the game, as in real life.
Archie is rated a 68, which I am perfectly fine with. Prove something in the NBA, and then maybe he will be rewarded ratings-wise.
Mook is rated as a 67. I would be more pissed off about this if Kief wasn't rated only 2 notches higher..
Christmas is rated a 66, which is amazing considering that he has played in about 10 games all season, and never been in the NBA before...
Frye is jokingly rated a 66 right now (down from his previous joke of a rating of 68..). What?
Alex Len has been given a rating of 63 for now, which I am also ok with until he has proven himself in the eyes of the NBA. He has shown us some flashes, but that is all as of yet.
Viacheslav Kravtsov has been generously rated at the dominant number of 57. Go get 'em Slava. He was rated this high simply for being tall (that is my own justification for this anyway..)

Denver, the capital of Colorado, was established by a party of prospectors on November 22, 1858, after a gold detection at the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River. Town founders named the dirty crossroads for James W. Denver, Governor of Kansas Territory, of which eastern Colorado was then a part. Other gold discoveries sparked a mass migration of some 100,000 in 1859-60, leading the federal government to establish Colorado Territory in 1861.

Before the great Colorado gold rush, the Rocky Mountains obtainable little to draw settlers, except "hairy bank notes," the beaver pelts award-winning by fur trappers, traders and fashionably hated gentlemen in Eastern America and Europe. The gold rush distorted that, as the rudely dispossessed Cheyenne and Arapaho soon discovered.
The Mile High City's violent leadership, spearheaded by William N. Byers, founding editor of the Rocky Mountain News, and Territorial Governor John Evans, be adamanted that the Indians must go. After dispossess the natives, Denverites built a network of railroads that made their town the banking, minting, supply and processing center not only for Colorado, but for neighboring states. Between 1870 when the first railroads arrived and 1890, Denver grew from 4,759 to 106,713. In a single cohort, it became the second most populous city in the West, second only to San Francisco.

I'm an insurance agent, married, and mother to 2 girls who became women when I wasn't looking. I engage in the struggles of daily life in a small town in Illinois.
I have a large, extended family to whom I've been writing since I moved away from home 30 years ago. This blog arose out of my letters to them, and at their prompting.
"You shouldn't be sending all this stuff to us" they said, meaning JUST to them alone.
"We've been on the receiving end of your ramblings for YEARS, and it's not fair." Not fair to others who didn't get to share my thoughts, is what they meant.
"We INSIST that you stop emailing us" they said, thereby giving the impression that they didn't want to hear from me. Those big kidders. Ha ha ha! But it doesn't take Einstein to see the obvious implication that they don't want me to hide my light under a bushel basket. That I should share it (the light, not the bushel basket) with the world!
These are the Everyday musings from Everywoman's perspective. Everywoman would be me.
I'd love to hear what you think.

Dance Dance Revolution Konamix PlayStation

- Most clicked
I'm not quite ready to show off my mad dance moves at the arcade just yet, but I've been having a blast playing DDR Konamix.
Konamix is worthy, an dif you enjoy music games, you owe it to yourself to get this one. [June 2002, p.120]
If I were stranded on a deserted island, DDR Konamix would be the game I would want with me. [July 2002, p.89]
A much better product than the original DDR USA and the Disney Rave, both in breadth of songs and range of features.
Jump at the second chance and get this one while you can. Theres no other game like it.
The game that once inspired awe with its wacky style and bizarre game mechanics in 1998 is getting a bit stale.
This game is F-U-N, and with the right, high-quality dance pad (like Red Octane's pad), you will spend countless hours mastering your moves and then adding your own style to it.
The only think wrong with Konamix is the fact that it's come out a year too late.
If you've only encountered Dance Dance Revolution in its American incarnations, it's a godsend. [June 2002, p.32]
Slick interface, colorful graphics that display cool characters/shapes/colors and the best control interface ever conceived for a music game make this $30 PSOne the definite 32-bit representative of Konamis perpetual cash cow. [12/31/02]
The best US version of DDR by far, mostly because of the song list, which is larger than most of the song lists of even the import versions of DDR, and because of the variety in modes of gameplay.

Over the past couple seasons, I, like many Angels fans, have struggled with my emotions towards Mike Scioscia. As bad as we look right now, it's hard to hate the coach that brought us our first World Series and seemingly turned the entire Angels organization around. But with each passing season, I question Scioscia's abilities as a manager more and more. Don't get me wrong, the guy can clearly manage a baseball team. But, can he manage this baseball team? I'm not so sure.
After the disaster that was the Wells/Napoli trade, Scioscia, for the first time, started receiving true criticism from the media. This led to his everyday decisions being questioned more and more; his rally-killing steal attempts, his excessive bullpen use, his obsession with defense, his general micromanaging of games. As the season wore on, Scioscia eventually admitted to an error in judgment. He recognized that Mathis' lack of offense was truly hurting us, implying that Mathis' defense behind the plate simply wasn't enough to make up for his terrible bat. A glimpse of hope! A sign of better days to come? Not so much. A glimpse is all it was and a glimpse here and there is all we'll ever get.
As much as I wish it were false, Scioscia seems to be simply incapable of changing. I keep thinking he's going to evolve, but his tiresome managerial techniques remain the same, no matter the roster. He continues to run the bases incessantly, hit and run three times a game, go to the bullpen in the fifth inning, prefer slap hitters over power-hitters, prefer over-the-hill vets over young talent, overvalue the importance of defense, and have love affairs with catchers that can't hit. I'm exaggerating of course, but not by much.
It has become increasingly apparent that Mike Scioscia is akin to coaches like Mike D'Antoni and June Jones; great in certain conditions, but not so great outside of those conditions. Give D'Antoni a talented point guard and some role players who can shoot three's and he'll take you deep into the playoffs. Give June Jones a college football program in the gutter and he'll get it back on track. Give Mike Scioscia a deep bullpen and a scrappy bunch of defensive-minded, versatile speedsters and he'll surprise you.
Scioscia refuses to adjust his coaching style to the weapons he has. We have four talented starting pitchers capable of pitching deep into games. The bullpen should be used sparingly. We have seven players capable of hitting 20+ homeruns and 3-4 guys capable of hitting 30+ homeruns. That is an intimidating lineup when used properly. We don't need to play small ball all the time. We don't need Chris Iannetta to steal second with one out and Bobby Abreu at the plate. We need a different hitter at the plate. And if we simply make sure our most dangerous hitters are in the lineup every night, we'll be okay. But two of our three most dangerous hitters are being grossly underutilized.
For me, the biggest lineup mistake (and the strongest sign that Scioscia is permanently stuck in his ways) is the manner in which Scioscia has utilized Trumbo and Kendrys. We are all obviously upset about Trumbo's lack of playing time, but what about Kendrys? Scioscia's apparent solution to the backlash he received about Trumbo sitting seven of the first twelve games is to bench Kendrys against LHP's. This move allows Scioscia to get Trumbo in the lineup without having to play him at third, but it sacrifices Kendry's bat in the process. All this because Trumbo is a liability at third base? I'm not buying it. Let's take a closer look at Trumbo's errors at third.
Trumbo's first error was a bad throw to first that pulled Albert off the bag. Except Pujols actually made the play. It was a bad call by the umpire and should not have been an error.
Trumbo's second error was a pop-up in foul territory. I don't know whether he lost the ball in the lights or the wind caught it, but failing to catch a popup has nothing to do with an inability to play third base. That could have happened at any position and it's clearly not something we have to worry about.
The third error was legitimate if my memory serves me right.
So that's one real error in three starts at third base. For goodness sake, Aybar has four errors already this season. Maicer had one at third last night. I don't want to hear this garbage about Trumbo being a liability at third because, the fact is, we really don't know yet. Give the kid a legitimate chance. Let him play there everyday for a week and see how he does.
Also, let's note that none of Trumbo's errors have cost the Angels any runs.
There's no denying that our three most dangerous hitters are Albert, Kendrys, and Trumbo. They should bat 3, 4, 5 and they should do it every night. Not having one of those three guys in the lineup on any given night is entirely inexcusable. We don't have to worry about Albert being out there, but why has the solution to getting Trumbo more at bats become sitting Kendrys against lefties? There must be answers in the stats.
In 2010, in the two months before "the injury", Kendrys batted .208 against lefties. Okay, makes sense to sit him Sosh. But wait! What's this? Kendrys batted .296 against lefties in 2009?!
Maybe Scioscia is just trying to give Kendrys' leg some rest. Again, I'm not buying it. If Kendrys can't swing the bat and run to first 3-4 times a day, he shouldn't be playing at all. DH-ing is not grueling work. The more likely explanation for what is going on is Scioscia is using a two-month statistical sample size as a BS reason to bench Kendrys. Sure, Kendrys has always been a more dangerous left-handed hitter, but the guy is dangerous from both sides. He's proven that.
If Scioscia was simply trying to put the best possible lineup out there versus lefties, he surely would have noticed Vernon Wells' .206 avg. against lefties in 2009, or his .195 avg. against lefties in 2010, or his .167 average against lefties so far this year. Wouldn't Vernon be the better choice to sit against lefties? Apparently Vernon's glove in left is just too valuable.
Yes, Vernon hit .284 against lefties last year, but he also hit .187 versus righties last year, which begs the question: Why does Wells play against righties? Once again, none of it makes sense because Scioscia's up to the same old antics. He's is once again putting way too much value on defense.
What I've come to realize is that Scioscia will never give us what we want. He'll give us a little taste here and there, but never the whole pie. He seems to have gone from playing Trumbo three days a week to playing Trumbo five days a week. But he did it by inexplicably sacrificing precious at bats for our second best hitter. It was enough to slow down the #freeMarkTrumbo movement and silence a few critics in the media. But it's not what we really want. As Scioscia has continuously shown us, little glimpses of hope are no sign of legitimate change to come.
With Scioscia's never-ending contract, we're in for several more years of the same old Sosh. All we can do is hope we start winning so our anger seems more trivial. I hope I'm wrong. I hope he makes me look like an idiot for ever doubting him. Better yet, I hope Sosh can find a more sensible balance to his coaching style, but I'm pessimistic.

Confession. I didn't watch the Blues game last night. Instead I went to watch Ty Conklin and the rest of the Red Wings AHL team get smacked by Joe Fallon and the Wild's AHL team. A good time watching goalies who at one time or another were with the Blues organization.
Also, Daylight Savings Time? Why this weekend?
Blues News:
- 2700 PPGs - We joked last night that it would have been 3000 PPGs if the Blues had a decentish PP.
- A lot of milestones reached in last nights' game. This is just the beginning. [NHL]
- Rex Ryan - Blues fan? [Sporting News]
- A Halak save of awesoemness. Let me know what you think of the announcers calling the Varlamov save. [Blues]

text: Apparently, Dan Mullen does not discuss injuries. On Thursday afternoon, Brad Locke found this out the hard way. After the Bulldogs' first fall practice, Dan Mullen was taking questions from the media. Just past the 1:20 mark in the following video, Brad Locke has the nerve to ask Dan about a couple of injured players on his roster. Dan Mullen then proceeds to throw somewhat of a shit fit about his policy of not discussing injuries. While Dan Mullen being an asshole is not exactly breaking news, the fact that he flails it around with so much blatant arrogance still never ceases to amaze me. Enjoy:

Two months from listing to sale last year in PB County
By Kim Miller
Palm Beach County homes spent a median of just 59 days on the market in 2013 before going under contract, down from 90 days in 2012.
The sales pace, measured by the Realtors Association of the Palm Beaches, was more than twice as fast as the rate in 2008 when the housing bubble burst and properties languished for 140 days before getting a contract.
Swifter sales, along with a 15 percent annual increase in home prices to a median of $244,000 last year, is another indicator of housing's rapid rebound since hitting bottom in late 2011.
With prices up 14 percent last year compared to 2012, more sellers are being lured into the market. The median price for a single family home last year was $244,000.
But people's expectations on what they can get are sometimes unrealistic, Realtors say. While data shows the average seller got 93 percent of their original list price, that doesn't mean you can ask for the moon. In 2008, sellers, on average, got 83.5 percent of their original list price.
"We're seeing sellers tending to come out pricing higher than they should be because everyone thinks we're back in 2007 again," said West Palm Beach Realtor Shannon Brink. "We are telling them, yes, prices have improved, but you're not going to get $100,000 more than the last sale."

Men's golf in third at the A-Sun Championship
April 16, 2007
BRUNSWICK, Ga. - First rounds results and Second round live scoring
Amid blustery conditions, Russell Knox led the JU men's golf with a four-over par 75 as the Dolphins are in third place after the first round of the 2007 Atlantic Sun Championship on the par-71 Golf Club at Sanctuary Cove.
The Dolphins posted a 26-over par 310 and sit eight back of UNF, who carded a round of 18-over par, 302.
The scoring conditions were tough, with the best round of the day being a two-over par 73 and the average score for the field was more than 80. UNF's Jeff Dennis is tied with East Tennessee State's Seamus Power and Gareth Shaw at two-over par.
"With the wind blowing the way it did all day, it made for some very difficult scoring conditions," said JU head coach Jim Taketa. "Today was about survival and staying in contention. We know that we have to come out and play better tomorrow."
Knox's round started with three bogeys in the first six holes before a birdie on the seventh sent him to the back nine at two-over par. A bogey on the tenth was equalized by a birdie on the 15th before a double bogey ended his round at four-over and alone in sixth place.
Duncan Stewart carded a six-over par 77 to finish in a tie for ninth individually. Stewart opened the round with bogeys on the fourth, seventh and eighth holes to make the turn at three-over par. But back-to-back birdies on No. 11 and 12 moved him back to one-over par with six left to play.
His roller-coaster round finished without a par, with three straight bogeys from 13 through 15, a double bogey on 16 followed by a birdie-bogey finish to shoot just two-over par on the back nine.
Jamie Kennedy, Joshua Kinsey and Matt Kleinrock all posted an eight-over par 79 to tie sit in a tie for 16th. Kennedy had the most promising round of the trio, making the turn at one-over par, but two double bogeys in the final six holes derailed a solid round.
Kinsey made the turn at four-over par and four bogeys in the final seven holes sent him to eight-over par. Kleinrock recovered from a rough start, sitting at four-over par after four holes, but a bogey-bogey finish but a damper on a solid comeback on the back nine.
The Dolphins will tee off with North Florida and East Tennessee State again on Tuesday, starting at 10 a.m.
WIND ROLLS IN: The storm front that has wreaked havoc across the country hit the Golf Club at Sanctuary Cove on Monday, blowing steadily at 12-18 miles per hour throughout the day. The gusts were up to 30 miles per hour, knocking off several golf bags and forcing players to step away from putts all day.
DOLPHINS STRUGGLE ON 18th: JU was set to put up a good score after 17 holes, but the 18th took its toll on the Dolphins. The five Dolphins were seven-over par on the final hole - including two double bogeys.
GETTING HOME IS EASY: The Dolphins tried to take advantage of the wind on the par-five 12th hole. With the hole playing downwind, all five Dolphins were either on the green or around the green in two. Duncan Stewart hit an 8-iron from 196 while Jamie Kennedy hit an 8-iron from 200 yards - with both reaching the green with ease.
SCOTTISH SUMMER WEATHER: With the wind howling, it seemed like summer weather for the Scottish fan contingent following the Dolphins. Duncan Stewart's father braved the windy conditions in short sleeves and shorts. One thing is for sure, walking around the course warms you up more than driving around in the cart - as Russell Knox's parents were able to thaw out and shed their jackets on the back nine.
AT THE TURN: After nine holes, JU trailed East Tennessee State by just two shots and UNF by one. After the back nine, the Dolphins trailed UNF by eight and ETSU by three. Campbell, who is tied for fourth at 30-over par, was just 13-over after nine and was just five shots back at the midway point.

|12 Months Ended
Sep. 30, 2012
|Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At September 30, 2012, the Company had a retained deficit of $3,235,468 and current liabilities in excess of current assets by $462,559. During the year ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred a net loss of $623,079 and negative cash flows from operations of $405,711. These factors create an uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to increase revenues, decrease or contain costs, and achieve profitable operations. In this regard, our ability to continue as a going concern has caused the Board of Directors to continue investigating merger and acquisition opportunities. We will look to further diversify our holdings and sources of cash flow. Should the Company's financial resources prove inadequate to meet the Company's needs before additional revenue sources can be realized, the Company may raise additional funds through loans or through sales of common or preferred stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving profitable operations or in raising any additional capital.
- Definition
Disclosure of accounting policy for reporting when there is a substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time (generally a year from the balance sheet date). Disclose: (a) pertinent conditions and events giving rise to the assessment of substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, (b) the possible effects of such conditions and events, (c) management's evaluation of the significance of those conditions and events and any mitigating factors, (d) possible discontinuance of operations, (e) management's plans (including relevant prospective financial information), and (f) information about the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities. If management's plans alleviate the substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosure of the principal conditions and events that initially raised the substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern would be expected to be considered. Disclose whether operations for the current or prior years generated sufficient cash to cover current obligations, whether waivers were obtained from creditors relating to the company's default under the provisions of debt agreements and possible effects of such conditions and events, such as: whether there is a possible need to obtain additional financing (debt or equity) or to liquidate certain holdings to offset future cash flow deficiencies. Disclose appropriate parent company information when parent is dependent upon remittances from subsidiaries to satisfy its obligations.
No definition available.

Quick Tip: Dissecting jQuery - Text
Are you a student? Get a yearly Tuts+ subscription for $45 →
In this latest episode of "Dissecting jQuery," we'll discuss the
text() method, as well as a new feature, as of jQuery 1.4, that you may not be aware of yet.
Premium Members: Download this Video ( Must be logged in)
Subscribe to our YouTube page to watch all of the video tutorials!
jQuery Source for the
text Method
text: function( text ) { if ( jQuery.isFunction(text) ) { return this.each(function(i) { var self = jQuery(this); self.text( text.call(this, i, self.text()) ); }); } if ( typeof text !== "object" && text !== undefined ) { return this.empty().append( (this[0] && this[0].ownerDocument || document).createTextNode( text ) ); } return jQuery.text( this ); }
Keep in mind that the ability to pass a function to the
text() method is only available, via the user of version 1.4 or higher. But that's no problem; and if you're still using 1.3, you should really stop! :)

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – A Moultrie is charged with breaking into two Moultrie businesses over the weekend and setting one of them on fire.
Twenty-one year old Justin Howard is charged with first degree arson and two counts of burglary. Fire crews were called to the UPS Store and neighboring Pat's Place on Doc Darbyshire Road Saturday morning.
They extinguished a small fire inside Pat's Place, but there was smoke and water damage to both businesses. Police say, the back doors to both businesses had been broken into. In both cases the stores had cash missing from their registers.

The Fantasy of Bipartisanship
by Bob H, Mon Jan 28, 2008 at 05:29:56 AM EST
Close observation of the Republican Party over the last 15 years had lead me to be very skeptical that they can be fruitfully engaged on a bipartisan basis. It is delusional and perhaps dangerous to Democratic prospects to proceed on the expectaton that a candidate can "bring people together", "bridge our differences", or win over the other side to "transformational change". Transformational change can come only when Republican numbers in the Congress are reduced to levels where they have been forced to change or become irrelevant.
Though there was a mandate for change in 1992, the Republicans set about at once to destroy the Clinton Presidency through a series of manufactured "scandals", gays in the military, Whitewater, Travelgate, etc. I wonder how many of the young Democratic enthusiasts for bipartisanship were children then and not paying attention to politics.

Clinical Trials Monthly - November 2011
Dear Colleague,
Each month Clinical Trials Monthly presents new and important trials your patients may benefit from. This month we've included Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III trials for breast cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, pancreatic cancer, and other blood cancers. Each study summary has a link to the specific details about the trial in our online Clinical Trials Database. The complete list of all trials recruiting participants at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance can be found at www.seattlecca.org/clinicaltrials.
- A Study of Trastuzumab-DM1 [T-DM1] Plus Pertuzumab Versus Trastuzumab [Herceptin] Plus Taxane in Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer
- PEGPH20 for Stage IV Previously Untreated Pancreas Cancer
- PF-05082566 for Advanced Cancer or B-Cell Lymphoma
- PARP Inhibitor BMN 673 for Advanced Hematological Malignancies
Breast Cancer
A Study of Trastuzumab-DM1 [T-DM1] Plus Pertuzumab Versus Trastuzumab [Herceptin] Plus Taxane in Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer (UW10020; NCT01120184)
This randomized, three-arm, multi-center study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab-DM1 (T-DM1) with pertuzumab or T-DM1 with pertuzumab-placebo, versus the combination of trastuzumab (Herceptin) plus taxane (docetaxel or paclitaxel) in patients with HER2-positive progressive, or recurrent locally advanced, or previously untreated metastatic breast cancer. Patients will be randomized to one of three treatment arms (Arms A, B or C). Arm A will be open-label, whereas Arms B and C will be blinded. This study is commonly known as the MARIANNE study.
T-DM1 was approved by the FDA in 2010 for treatment of advanced HER2-positive breast cancer in women who previously received multiple HER2-targeted medicines and chemotherapies. T-DM1 is an antibody drug conjugate (an armed antibody) being studied for advanced HER2-positive breast cancer. It attaches trastuzumab and the chemotherapy DM1 together until it reaches cancer cells. The antibody attaches onto the HER-2 positive cancer cells and is thought to disrupt its growth signals while also calling the body's immune system to attack the cells. As the T-DM1 is absorbed into the cancer cells, the DM1 is released and destroys the cells as well.
In this study, patients can expect a three-week (21 day) treatment cycle, which applies to all study treatment arms: T-DM1 will be administered every three weeks.
- Pertuzumab/pertuzumab-placebo will always be administered before the T-DM1 every three weeks.
- When combined with docetaxel, a dose of trastuzumab will be administered every three weeks.
- When combined with paclitaxel, a dose of trastuzumab will be administered weekly.
In this case a treatment cycle is three weekly doses of trastuzumab and paclitaxel. If at any stage the patient's disease worsens, he/she will be taken off the study treatment and may receive alternative therapy. Patients will be asked to take the study drugs until the study doctor has determined that the disease has progressed, unless there are serious side effects during the study. After patients are finished taking the study drugs, patients will be asked to visit the offi ce for follow-up examinations.
Investigator: Julie Gralow, MD
Pancreas Cancer
PEGPH20 for Stage IV Previously Untreated Pancreatic Cancer (NCT01453153)
This is a Phase IB/II multi-center, international, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study of gemcitabine combined with PEGPH20 compared to gemcitabine combined with placebo in patients with stage IV previously untreated pancreas cancer.
PEGPH20 is a PEGylated version of human recombinant PH20 hyaluronidase that, in preclinical studies, has been shown to degrade and remove hyaluronic acid (HA) or hyaluronan from the extracellular matrix surrounding the tumor cells. Approximately 90 percent of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDA) overexpress HA which appears to limit the ability of drugs to penetrate the tumor. Thus, PDAs may be especially sensitive to the HA degradation and thereby become more responsive to the cytotoxic effects of a given dose of gemcitabine. Modifying the extracellular environment with a systemically deliverable enzyme to increase the penetration and effi cacy of anti-cancer agents represents a completely novel approach to treating pancreatic cancer and may provide important therapeutic outcomes in patients with this challenging disease.
The Phase IB study will assess safety, tolerability, treatment effect, and various PK/PD endpoints of PEGPH20 when used in combination with the standard-of-care, gemcitabine. Patients will receive four mg of dexamethasone (steroid given to help minimize or prevent muscle and/or joint pain that may be caused by PEGPH20) approximately one hour before treatment with PEGPH20. In the Phase II study, patients will receive four mg of dexamethasone approximately one hour before treatment with PEGPH20 or placebo and again eight to 12 hours later.
Patients will be treated on the same schedule as is used for standard gemcitabine alone. The fi rst treatment cycle consists of eight weeks (study drug treatments for the fi rst seven weeks, and one week without treatment). Each additional cycle will consist of four weeks (three weeks of study drug treatment, followed by one week without treatment). For the fi rst treatment cycle (8 weeks) patient will return to SCCA or University of Washington Medical Center twice a week for the first four weeks and then once per week for all additional weeks (total of 12 visits).
Investigators: Sunil R. Hingorani, MD, PhD; William P. Harris, MD
Hematological Malignancies
PF-05082566 for Advanced Cancer or B-Cell Lymphoma (NCT01307267)
This is a Phase I study of PF-05082566 as a single agent in patients with advanced cancer and in combination with rituximab in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. One goal of the study is to find the best dose of PF-05082566 for treating solid tumors and B-cell lymphoma. A second goal is to fi nd the best dose of PF-05082566 together with rituximab for treating non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
PF-05082566 is a new investigational drug. An investigational drug is one that is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. PF-05082566 is an antibody, which is a type of protein, shown in animal studies to stimulate the immune system. PF-05082566 is in a very early stage of development for use in humans. Patients who appear to benefi t from the drug can expect to be in this study for approximately six to 10 months. There will be a 28-day screening period, four cycles (each cycle is 28 days) of treatment, and a follow-up visit. Additional cycles of treatment may be given if determined to be of benefi t, for up to eight cycles total.
Investigator: Ajay Gopal, MD
PARP Inhibitor BMN 673 for Advanced Hematological Malignancies (NCT01399840)
This is a Phase I, two-arm, open-label study to test the safety of a new experimental drug called BMN 673, and to see what effects it has on patients and one of the four types of hematological malignancies: acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and mantle cell lymphoma. BMN 673 has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for people with cancer. BMN 673 will not be approved unless clinical research studies show that it is safe and effective. BMN 673 is in a very early stage of development for use in humans. This drug is being developed to inhibit the normal activity of a protein called "poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase" also called "PARP." PARP is a DNA repair enzyme. It repairs DNA that is damaged in normal and cancer cells.
Patients will be assigned to a dose level of BMN 673; this level is dependent on how many dose levels have been tested in this clinical trial before each patient is enrolled. Once it is understood what the highest tolerated dose is, additional subjects will be assigned to that dose. SCCA plans to enroll 25 subjects into this study.

RICHLAND, Wash. -- While marijuana use is less than a month from becoming legal in Washington, don't expect to see any pot smoking at the states' colleges and universities.
Because most colleges and universities receive federal funding, and marijuana is still illegal under federal guidelines, schools across Washington State are still treating it as an illegal drug and it will not be allowed on college campuses.
The rule falls under The Drug Free Schools And Communities Act which requires schools who receive federal funds to adopt and implement a program to prevent any unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees.
Staff at WSU Tri-Cities are treating it like alcohol. "Even though we have a viticulture and enology program, you still have to have special permission to have alcohol. We get banquet permits if we need to serve wine at a fancy reception. You can't just bring a beer to campus and crack it open at the library. That's against the law, and marijuana is against the policies at WSU," said WSUTC Spokesperson Melissa O'Neil Perdue.
Columbia Basin College also has the same rules in tact, no drugs or alcohol allowed on their campus.
WSU Legal Affairs says WSU will thoroughly review the new law before adopting any new policies or making any changes in existing policies to ensure full compliance with state and federal laws,but as of now possession and use of marijuana will not be permitted on the WSU campus despite the new state law.
Student and employee violators may be subject to discipline under applicable policies. Others may be subject to removal and trespass from WSU property.

I found 90 calorie pitas for this recipe too! They were a tad bit salty. Make sure to warm your pitas up first in the oven for a bit too, that makes these even better. I tell you what, it's kind of hard to fit every piece of food into that small pocket. I want more avocados and tomatoes on top, but then if I do that there's not enough room for more pork and cole slaw. These pitas came pre-sliced and next time I'm not even going to get the half slices. Full slices all the way! You can fit more food into them.
We had quite a large pork butt in our freezer and this was the perfect recipe to use it for! I've been having these yummy gyros for leftovers since Sunday night and they don't get old. They also make a good lunch, and I plan on taking them for leftovers tomorrow. The creamy cole slaw adds a nice texture to the pulled pork . Loved the tomatoes and avocado, I added some cilantro to the cole slaw the second day. So good, would like to find more pita recipes like this or try making my own pita bread once.

Special Events
The Special Events Unit coordinates and assists with planning for any special event on campus that involves our Department. Special events may be anything from a major sporting event to special needs parking for special situations. Currently, special events across campus that we are involved with have increased to over 1300 events per year.
Special Event Parking
Those attending special events should park in designated event lots as signed and as directed by event staff. A special event fee may be charged at the lot entrance. Some event lots are reserved for those with special passes. Visitor, employee and student permits may not be valid in the lots during special events. Payment of the special event fee will be required to park. Event schedules are maintained by MSU Athletics, Breslin Center and Wharton Center. For information on disabled parking areas and transportation during special events, contact the Parking Office at (517) 355-8440 during business hours or (517) 355-2221 after hours.
Student Organizations' Events
All student organizations hold events on campus at Michigan State University. The University requires that all Student Organizations hosting an event (such as a dance, concert, comedy show, fashion show, or physical competition,) that will be held at a Michigan State University owned building, must complete an "Activity Planning Form" or APF.
The Activity Planning Form can be picked up at Student Life Center located at the Student Services Building, 556 E. Circle Dr, Room 101. A representative of the Department of Student Life will indicate which University offices will need to review the plans for your event and the required University facilities and services provided by that office. A signature from a representative of the University office will indicate that the plans for your event have been reviewed and that the services and facilities are available.
The Activity Planning Form must be signed by a Special Events Supervisor before any event will be authorized to take place on campus. It must be approved 21 days before the event. Most events will require Greencoat security. Greencoat security is billed out to the organization at $19.00 per hour, per Greencoat. Some events require police officers present and police officers are billed out at their overtime rate. Traffic workers for parking related issues are billed out at $13.50 per hour, per traffic worker.
Student Event Staffing Guidelines
The Michigan State University Police Department has the sole responsibility for providing the police and security function on the campus. This means that groups or organizations may not contract with any off-campus agency for policing, parking, or security of events held on campus. Police and security needs must be discussed with this department and if it is determined that a need exists, our agency will provide such services. Most times this will mean a cost to your organization. Special dispensation has been granted by President Simon to eliminate the University's fringe load cost on overtime charges for police officers for student groups only. All other organizations must incur this expense. In addition, a total of up to four officers per night may be assigned to a student function(s) at no cost to the organization. These officers will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. Therefore, it is best to begin the planning process as soon as possible.
Many factors determine the need for our services and we will work with the organization in an effort to make the event as safe and secure as possible at the lowest possible cost. Determining security needs is not an exact science and we consult with the venue managers prior to making the final decision on police and security staffing levels. Listed below are some of the factors used to determine security needs:
- Type of event
- Day and time of the event.
- Location of the event
- The number of other events occurring at the same time that require security.
- The expected size of the crowd.
- History of similar events.
- History of the sponsoring organization (past 3 years).
- Good financial standing with MSU Police.
