Child is 7 . Custodial parent agreed to every other weekend for non custodial parent whom has not seen child in almost eleven months . Have a note from the school counselor as to concerns of the child about drug use not being properly fed and yelling , slamming things ( when with non custodial parent ) . Also , a police report where a sheriff talked to child and child described how to make amphetamines and that child saw non custodial parent smoking marijuana and amphetamines out of a pipe . Contacted CPS and were told they are a reactive agency not a proactive agency so no help there . Child sees a private counselor and a letter can be obtained from there as well . Is this enough to ask that parenting time be suspended , drug testing , anger management classes and supervised visits ?
If the school counselor or teacher believed that these types of activities were taking place in a parent's home, reporting to CPS would be mandated. The same would be true for the sheriff's department. It seems to me that there is a real disconnect between what you believe the child is telling these professionals and what may actually be said. Accordingly, unless you have some kind of real evidence, all you can do is make allegations which may be unfounded.
How to present your concerns to the court is a somewhat different issue. Developing and presenting competent evidence to the court concerning what is in the child's best interests as it relates to parenting time is complex and should be done with the guidance of an experienced family law attorney. It would not be possible to tell you whether you have a winning case simply by reading a summary of your concerns in this forum.

Is it enough to get parenting time suspended, drug testing ordered, etc.? That is within the discretion of the judge. Based on what you have stated, it would appear that there is certainly a basis for you to request this type of relief but, again, it is up to the court to ultimately decide what limitations, if any, are to be imposed. I would retain the services of an experienced family law attorney to assist you in this matter. An attorney can present your position in a light most favorable to you and the protection of your child.

So … What's Next? Collected Conversational Fragments
So … that was cool, huh? Yeah, we miss the road. I mean, sure, we have an apartment, but that doesn't mean it's the end. Think of it as us catching our breath. No, we don't have much planned. No, we don't have real jobs. No, we're not broke, but we're not as fixed as we were before. Sure, the PowerBall would have been nice, but I tallied up everything […]Read more

If I could sum up the situation surrounding Danny Granger in one word, it would be inconclusive. The Pacers would be more than happy to bring back their number one scoring option, but nothing is a given in this league. That being said, Indiana decided to secure a backup with some upside in Solomon Hill. During his career at Arizona, Hill was never the main name in the media circus; he also failed to show significant improvement in his senior season. His rebounding numbers and shooting percentages both decreased.
Some positives about Hill's game is that he has the desire to achieve greatness. He will do the dirty work on the glass and play hard every possession. With the proper guidance, Hill can negate his physical short-comings, and become a solid role player on both sides of the ball.
Solomon Hills brings question marks to the table. Frank Vogel has to make sure he does not give Hill too much too early. A limited role with limited minutes is the ideal situation for Hill; it allows him to see the game from a different perspective and ultimately mature as a player.

In Excel 2010 I would like a cell to have the equal sign, that looks like this =When I put an = in the cell it looks fine until I move to the next cell. Then Excel changes my = to =g27. If I correct it back to = it again changes it to =g27. Then entire column is formatted as "Text Only". Various other cell formatting options result in the same or other errored displays.I cannot make the = sign stay as typed. !#@$!--Breaker One Nine.
Try right click Format Cells...-->Custom-->General--A)bort, R)etry, I)nfluence with large hammer.
Same result, but that changes the = to =F29 and this is cell F-29.--Breaker One Nine.
I can put = in a cell I want to, hit enter which moves the cursor down in that cell stays exactly like it was with just the =. I tried it formatting the cell as text and without formatting it and had the same results. Your problem is because you're not hitting enter so excel thinks you're starting a formula. When you hit enter it closes out the function.
You are correct. I was not hitting enter, but hitting enter does resolve the problem. I was mouse clicking away from the cell.Thank you very much !!
1 recommendation
or try this, put the single quote in front of whatever you want to keep as text, in your example like this'=then you can navigate away or hit enter should leave you with just the = sign.
Thanks for the extra tip, and thanks to you too MSeng for helping Msradell hit the nail on the head.
And I seem to remember if you want it centered, you can type^=

Tapping into the herd mind
Yesterday's Another Marketing Conferencesaw a number of illuminating and involving presentations, designed to provide ideas and guidance for marketers of all types. Held in Cambridge, it had some great speakers, slick (but not too slick) organisation and a wide range of delegates.
One presentation that stood out for me was Mark Earls (aka @herdmeister) talking about how marketers are essentially failing to understand their customers. We treat consumers as rational, thinking beings, when essentially we're dominated by a desire to avoid thought and follow the herd. As Nobel prize winner Daniel Kahnemann put it: "We are to thinking as cats are to swimming. We can do it if we have to, but we don't particularly like it."
Mark outlined four handy principles:
- People do first and think later – they might post-rationalise their decisions and believe they acted logically, but that's after the fact.
- We're far more like Captain Kirk rather than Dr Spock, so you need to make it easy for people to make decisions, rather than thinking.
- People aren't looking for the best, they are looking for 'good enough'. We're living in a universe of too much stuff, the vast majority of which doesn't involve life or death choices. So we'll generally go with what satisfies the need rather than spend days searching for the best possible option.
- People harmonise with other people automatically. In an uncertain decision landscape we're most likely to choose what our peers are choosing rather than listen to marketing around us. We learn by copying others.
What I think is really interesting is how this plays out in social media and online. We tend to Like what our friends Like, we want to follow people that our friends follow and watch the videos that they do. So once something gets momentum behind it (think Psy's Gangnam Style) it just grows and grows.
You can see this as depressing, as essentially it explains mob behaviour, but as marketers we need to understand how customers operate if we're going to successfully engage with them. What decisions are independent and what are herd led? Structure campaigns accordingly and you can change behaviour and ensure your message gets across.
There's more on this in the new book Mark has co-written "I'll have what she's having" which was handily included in the goodie bag from the conference and has moved to the top of my reading list. Watch this space for a fuller review.

Chris Scott, meteorologist
Overall, this storm is on track and cant miss. However, there are some wrinkles that were watching and we want to bring you in on the details.
The storm has been receiving significant attention, and for good reason because of the huge tract of North America that will be impacted-- from Texas to Newfoundland. However, the details of the storm are different for every area. In parts of the Southern Plains and Midwest U.S., this is an exceptional storm. For locations in Eastern Canada, its an unrealistic stretch to call this exceptional or paralyzing...its a large and significant winter storm, but the type of storm that we do expect. Its been a couple of years since the Greater Toronto Area has seen a widespread storm of this magnitude, so this storm is getting its fair share of attention.
Lets look at the possible wrinkles for the GTA. Its guaranteed the storm hits fast and hard, starting later Tuesday evening, and peaking in intensity overnight with the heaviest snow and strong winds. The worst of the storm will hit when most people are sleeping, between 3-6 am. In fact, during this time, there is the slight chance of lightning so dont be shocked if you hear a crack of thunder in the pre-dawn hours thats how intense the precipitation will be!However, it looks like the heaviest snow will end rather abruptly just after dawn...and often this dry slot as we call it moves in a bit faster than expected. This doesnt mean the storm will be over at 8 am, its just part of this particular storms rhythm so to speak. Theres even the slight chance there could be some freezing drizzle for a brief period of time before some steadier snow builds back in during the late morning and early afternoon. Freezing drizzle isnt in our official forecast because the chance is pretty small, but these are the kind of details that make forecasting so tricky.
Snowfall amounts can vary dramatically with a storm this large and intense. In Toronto, at least 15 cm of snow is likely, but there is a chance amounts could go up to 30 cm. While this seems like a huge range, winter storms do have very fine details that cause variations in snowfall. Regardless of the exact amount for your street, the bottom line is that its a significant shot of snow that will take some time to clear from roads and sidewalks. Coupled with a strong wind, especially very early Wednesday morning, this snow will make getting around rather tough.
Its also a guarantee that the precipitation from this storm will end Wednesday evening, and Thursday will be a relatively quiet day in Toronto weather-wise. So, just focusing on the GTA, you can see how the picture is pretty clear that there is a storm that will hit hard overnight Tuesday into early Wednesday morning, and then linger with varying intensities of precipitation through Wednesday afternoon before ending Wednesday evening.
But the details will be what determines the exact amount of snow, and the impact on your day. Bottom line, if you love wild weather and you live in the Toronto-Hamilton area, either stay up really late Tuesday night, or get up very early Wednesday...otherwise, you may be a bit disappointed.
For the rest of us (okay, Im actually part of the former wild weather loving group), these details dont change the fact that it is a good day to stay/work at home if possible, or if you have flexible hours, wait until the heaviest dump of snow has been cleared from the roads before venturing out.
Whatever youre doing on Wednesday, from Windsor, Ontario to Windsor, Nova Scotia, stay safe and check out The Weather Network on TV to see how all the details play out for your area.

Live! From 30 Rock, it's another 30 Rock live show!
The ABC comedy pilot Counter Culture has been shelved due to the injury series co-star Delta Burke suffered just before the pilot was going to be filmed. Theoretically, they could try to shoot the pilot after ABC has announced its fall schedule, but that's not expected to happen. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though, since it also starred Margo Martindale, Kerri Kenney and Doris Roberts. That's too much talent to gather and not film anything.
Hulu is adding a LGBT category to its genre listings, along with the addition of a number of gay-themed films. I'd like to think this opens another door for people trying to understand what it means to be gay and working to accept themselves.
I'm sad to pass on the news that X-Play host Adam Sessler is leaving G4. Sessler was a reliable voice against homophobia among gamers and G4′s game coverage will suffer from his absence.
Evan Marriott, the former Joe Millionaire, has apologized for the way he behaved during the height of his fame. It's an incredibly sincere-sounding and introspective look back at the past few years of his life, I'm impressed.
EW has a preview of Sutton Foster in the upcoming ABC Family drama Bunheads. Sadly, if Bunheads has that crackling Amy Sherman-Palladino dialogue, the ABC Family marketers forgot to include it.
Does the series Syfy has in the works indicate that the channel might be returning to making sci-fi? I hope so.
Have you wondered what the Bundys look like around the world? Here's an overview of different countries' adaptations of Married… with Children. I'm fascinated by the British Married for Life, I can't think of the last time I saw a U.S. show get remade by a British broadcaster.
The Robot Chicken team is working on a DC Comics special with Neil Patrick Harris providing the voice of Two-Face. I. Cannot. Wait.
Bethenny Frankel's talk show will make its debut in June. It will start out with a six-week trial run that will air on stations in New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Dallas, Phoenix and Minneapolis. Since I live in none of those cities, I look forward to seeing it make its way onto The Soup.

They say a dog is a man's best friend, but to John Unger, a Wisconsin resident, his dog, Schoep, means everything.
Unger adopted Schoep, named after the famous Wisconsin ice cream, when he was just a puppy, and the two have been together ever since. Now, at 19 years old, Schoep has arthritis and has trouble sleeping, the Pioneer Press reports. Unger found that water is therapeutic for his pained buddy, so he takes Schoep into Lake Superior and lulls him to sleep.
Photographer Hannah Stonehouse Hudson, owner of Stonehouse Photography and a friend of Unger's, decided to capture the relationship between the man and his dog down by the water.
"This photo was from a last minute session," the Bayfield, Wis., photographer told The Huffington Post in an email. "We had been trying to get together for weeks, but it kept not happening because of my travel schedule for Stonehouse. We finally got together last Tuesday (the 31st). I had about 5 minutes to shoot and this is what I caught — a man and his dog. John loving his Schoep, and Schoep trusting John so much he falls asleep in the buoyancy of the water. This is in no way posed."

Steak 'n Shake equivalent in SoCal?
- atrac Apr 1, 2008 10:46 PM
Now I know people love their In 'n Out burger here in the LA area, but I have to say, growing up on burgers from Steak 'n Shake and GD Ritzy's in the Mid-West, In 'n Out burger pales tremendously in comparison. I don't think I have ever tasted a more bland burger. When I see the line of cars stretched out along the building I have to wonder if I am in The Twilight Zone.
Now I know there are *tons* of topics that have been beaten into the ground about "the best burger in Los Angeles" but what I would like to know is if there is anyone here that knows what a Steak 'n Shake burger tastes like and if there is anything similar to it here?
I consider them to be a step above your McDonald's, Wendy's, Jack in the Box, etc. chains.
Dare I say it..they are greasy.
And man, for those of you that never had a chance to eat at GD Ritzy's -- those were the best burgers and hot dogs I've ever had at a chain restaurant. And the shoestring fries were to die for.
I undoubted will die sooner in fact from the amount of times I ate there. :)
re: bosanova99
Ah....Big Boy! I actually grew up on those burgers as well in Ohio. I had them here at Bob's and they are unfortunately different. The special sauced used in Ohio was a variant of Tartar sauce, while out here it seems to be relish. Gotta love those regional differences.
I saw Bob's Big Boy Tartar Sauce at Ralph's and bought some to put on a home made burger. Blech...not the same stuff at all. :(
On a side note, I live in Alhambra and there used to be a Bob's Big Boy here. It unfortunately closed and became a Noodle Planet. What an absolute tragedy that was. If I had known it was going to close, I would have eaten there every day that I could. Oh it just saddens me to think of it to this day!!!!!!
I hate to break it to you my man, but out here . . . NOTHING comes close to Steak N Shake. In N out, Ricks, even Yuca's are considerably drier. I would say Yuca's has the best SEASONING . . . Rick's is good for its size and In N Out is a close all around sandwich(and cheaper than Steak N Shake) but they are not the same. Stack burgers are a problem that need to be addressed in SoCal . . . .
If you are looking for something "greasy" in a burger then I suggest you take a taste test of one of the "Kobe" style burgers being offered around town. The original Tops in Pasadena on Colorado Blvd. or The Arsenal on Pico Blvd. in West LA. have burgers which will have the "mouth feel" it sounds like you are searching for. Just don't have them overcooked. Med. rare at the most.

re: Servorg
A different kind of "mouth feel," Servorg, believe me. Steak 'n Shake is good, especially with a bowl of their chili, but it's very different from a Kobe burger -- not nearly as rich. To the OP: try Pie 'n Burger -- a bit looser and thinner and a lot more flavorful than most -- and don't forget the pie!
re: sbritchky
Thanks! I will be sure to try it. You get bonus points for suggesting a place that is not too far away from me as well (Alhambra to Pasadena is *extremely* painless!!!).
For those who haven't experienced one, a Steak & Shake burger hits the flattop grill as a hockey puck-shaped serving of ground beef about the size of a golf ball -- maybe slightly bigger. It is then pressed down to flatten it and widen it to a thin round patty. After a sear on one side, it is flipped and cooked on the other. For what it is worth, Steak & Shake's burgers were the model for Danny Meyer when he started the Shake Shack in a NYC park. Steak & Shake's fries are the shoe-string variety, about the same thickness as In-N-Out's, but longer and made from frozen potatoes I'm sure. They come out crisp but longer and much softer and more flexible than In-N-Out's. Steak & Shake calls their burgers "steakburgers" and advertises that they are made from ground steak, but then again just about any cut from the cow can be called a steak... There is something about that process of flattening the hockey puck golfball of meat into a flat patty on the grill that is much of the essence of the Steak & Shake steakburger.
re: nosh
I haven't been to Steak & Shake, but I have had a LOT of L.A. burgers. From your description (the pressed, thin patty; a bit greasy) there is a place that comes to mind: Doublz, an Inland Empire/Antelope Valley chain. I've been to the one in Santa Fe Springs several times. I'm sure it's different, but it might hit some of the same notes.

re: BearCity
It looks like the El Monte location is closest to me..not that far at all. And looking at their online menu, their prices are extremely reasonable (!!).
I'll be checking this one out too...thanks!
re: atrac
I had the opportunity to eat at Doublz this evening. Although the burger is not really very close to a Steak & Shake burger, I *will* say that I really enjoyed it quite a bit and will certainly eat there again. It is a greasy burger. :) They also have quite the generous portions too (I could not finish the fries!).
Thanks for the suggestion! They are now on my radar for future burger cravings!
"I don't think I have ever tasted a more bland burger. When I see the line of cars stretched out along the building I have to wonder if I am in The Twilight Zone."
Slightly off topic, but have you ordered your In-N-Out burger animal style? If not, then you haven't really tasted their product at its best.
re: GuidoTKP
thats the point. you need the extras to dress up the dry beef. compared to steak n shake, the beef is like sand. and i like In N out.
re: GuidoTKP
Well, I'm not a fan of onions my burger (or on anything for that matter). And their variation of Thousand Island sauce is also not really to my liking...again, quite bland...not tangy enough. :(
re: GuidoTKP
These were my thoughts exactly, the animal style(meat patty cooked with a smear of mustard, grilled onions, extra sauce, and pickles, in addition to the regular lettuce and tomato and if ordered, cheese) is quite a bit tangier that the regular. And be sure to order a double double animal style. The double has more ballance than the single.

But if you want a skinny little flat greasy burger, you might want to try "The White Hut," which is literally just a hut, with just a few stools and a grill. I haven't been there in years since I love Pie N Burger so much I feel disloyal anytime I eat another burger. But I recall them being similar to Steak N Shake. Or rather, when I had SNS for the first time a few years ago, I remember thinking it was a lot like The White Hut.
I have to admit, when I watch Cardinals games the ads for Steak N Shake kill me. Those shakes were beautiful.

re: khh1138
Oh oh! Two places in Pasadena! I'm loving you guys! I'm going to try them both for sure now!
re: atrac
Please report back after you've tried them APAC! Coming from Chi-town, I definitely have not had anything close to Steak N' Shake out here, and agree its an amazing burger. Pasadena is far for El Jefe, but for a Steak N' Shake burger, he is willing to get in his coche and drive back to the midwest.
re: khh1138
That White Hut location, to explain further, is at the SE corner of Madison and Colorado, in the parking lot of Zinke's Shoe Repair. No, they don't sell Sole Food...
re: Will Owen
I just noticed their hours -- Mon - Fri 7am - 3:30pm. That's going to be a little difficult. I'll have to go on a day off. ;)
re: blackbookali
I saw your post at about 2:30pm today and realized I should use my day off to go give it a try. I arrived at 3:06pm to find that they closed at 3:00pm. I was extremely po'ed because there is a menu posted online that lists them closing at 3:30pm.
As I walked up the heavyset elderly lady made sure to check that the doors were locked. Heaven forbid they get one more paying customer! The horror!!!!
Honestly, with hours of Mon-Fri 7:00am - 3:00pm, they are not going to get my business any time soon unless I end up getting a job in downtown Pasadena. Those hours are just way too inconvenient. And apparently they aren't interested in working any longer than they have to. Not the "Mom & Pop" shop attitude that I am familiar with.
re: Servorg
It's funny because I did a google map for "Tops" and I realize that I *have* eaten there before about a year and half ago. I remember it being pretty good too. Unfortunately, Steak n Shake did not come to my mind when I ate it, but it was a good burger never-the-less. I'm going to have to check them out again sometime. ;)
re: Servorg
That is a good point. I remember the day I was there I was low on cash so I got the cheapest burger on the menu. I'll definitely need to go back and try the Kobe burger.
re: blackbookali
SO, I had the day off today and decided to give White Hut another attempt. Definitely the burger is closer to Steak N Shake than any other one I have tried thus far. The size and thickness was right. Just not as greasy. Of course, I don't ever expect to find an exact replica here in SoCal, but I have to say it was quite a nice burger and fries. The price was nice too ($5 for a double-cheeseburger and fries!).
I felt a little sorry for them though. I was in there at 1:30pm today and I was the only customer in sight. That's a shame because the burgers are definitely terrific and it's a nice bargain. Hopefully I just missed the lunch rush....I would hate to see them leave us so quickly after just discovering them. :(
Thanks for the tip!
re: atrac
This place is kind of in the same predicament as Rick's. See this article from the Pasadena Weekly from a couple of months ago:
re: ozzygee
Oh no! Good lord I hope they do try to declare it a landmark. The place has lots and LOTS of character. Something very difficult to find in this day and age.
Bulldozing that place would be a serious crime. :(
re: ozzygee
Ugh. I just went to read about White Hut and apparently they've closed their doors.
This economy really blows. :(
Now, I may get laughed off the board, but...
I seem to recall enjoying a surprisingly good burger at The Pantry at lunchtime. I seem to recall a large globe of meat hitting the grill and being flattened by spatula. Now, I've only had the burger at the now-defunct Pantry annex (which is now Riordan's Tavern), and I just don't remember if they serve the burger at the Original Pantry Cafe. They do have a hamburger steak on the menu; I don't see why they couldn't put it on a bun, assuming they have one.

I lived in Missouri for 2.5 years in the seventies and Steak and Shake was one of my staple lunch stops around the state. About three years ago, while on vacation SWMBO and I ate at a Steak and Shake near the Cleveland, OH airport. To me, they were not the same as I had experienced in Missouri. One problem, in my opinion, is that different restaurants of a chain are not as diligent in their preparation of the product so as to maintain the quality of the product that made the chain viable. Most notably, locally, Philly's Best, Tommy Pastrami and Farmer Boys. The Philly's Best on Brookhurst in OC (the home store) provides a very credible cheese steak. One that opened in Whittier, was so poor in their preparation that they did not survive. Another has opened at MacArthur and Fairview in OC, but I have yet to sample their wares. although, for a time, they were offering an attractive coupon. I have been to a number of Tommy Pastrami's and most have been faithful to the concept and the original store. I know that Tommy is diligent about checking on the stores and in the training of the new staffs. The Brea store was good, at first, but on subsequent visits "slippage" became apparent. On one visit they (a New York-style deli) were out of rye bread! They had also switched to a commercially supplied cole slaw. On my next visit, the rye bread was supermarket thin-sliced and not what I was expecting. I reported my findings to Tommy which precipitated a visit the next day (reportedly for them to straighten up and fly right). Needless to say, Tommy was forced to yank their franchise.
Now, as to tasty hamburgers, Farmer Boys (some, not all I have found) is offering what they call their Homestyle hamburger. It is a hand-formed 1/3 lb. patty and has the appropriate juiciness and flavor, very close to what i remember a Steak and Shake to be in a bigger patty.
It, the 1/3 lb. at Counters, and the sliders at Islands remain my favorite burgers (Tommy Patrami had a half-pounder that was very good, but didn't sell enough to stay on the menu.) For fast food, I prefer In-n-Out. Five Guys has yet to thrill me, except for their fries which i think are addictive. The Habit (based out of Santa Barbara but now in Santa Fe Springs) is a decent burger and I like their grilled tuna. They'll give you a half and half order of rings and fries that is good. I see that Burger King is offering mini-burgers but I haven't checked them out yet.

I've been to Steak 'n Shake having spent considerable time in Evanston, IL. Can't hold a candle to In 'n Out, Fatburger, Clearman's Galley, Apple Pan, Cassell's Hamburgers, Mo's, Russell's, or Jake's of Pasadena.

re: scottca075
Mo's in Burbank?
re: blackbookali
Burbank, Toluca Lake... not sure of the actual city.
re: scottca075
Ok. Ive been there. I have to say except for In n Out which is on the dry side compared to Steak n Shake, the other burger places you mention all are a different style of burger. I like Apple Pan, but have not been to Russell's or Jake's. Are they on the same level as Apple Pan?

re: blackbookali
No, but when you live in Burbank, it is just a lot easier than the Westside :)
Had a burger at steak n' shake in FL. It was good but not as good as In N' Out.
Only my modest opinion.
To imply that Steak n Shake is only a step above McDees, Wendys, Jack in Box sure doesn't say much for Steak n Shake because they all have terrible burgers. In n Out double double animal style is so much better than McDees , etc.
Sadly, Steak 'n' Shake today is not even close to what it was in its golden age. It began some years back when they "modernized" the menu and did away with those charming slogans: "In sight, it must be right," and my favorite, "It's a Meal!" A modest claim like that is at least easy to live up to. Today, though, S'n'S is just another greasy burger joint, no longer worth a stop on the drive through the flyover zone.
I grew up w/ Steak n Shake in St. Louis but my mom hated them, so I only went there after I was driving. I liked their thin fries -- longer and more delicate somehow than McD's, more tender but still some crisp. Their burgers were placed on the grill then smashed, so today's Smashburger follows a similar technique. Their shakes were real.
I think the closest approximation may be at Pier Burger, on the Santa Monica Pier, for the burgers. Pier Burger serves a frozen custard "concrete" (no milk, mix-ins and/or syrups) that is more akin to a Ted Drewe's. Their fries are nothing like the thin, long, delicat shoestrings that were Steak'n'Shake's.

Cyberknife Radiosurgery for Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Vulva After Prior Pelvic Radiation Therapy (p. 375-380)
Limited options exist for patients experiencing a local recurrence of vulvar malignancies after surgery and pelvic radiation. These recurrences often are associated with cancer-related skin desquamation and poor clinical outcomes. A new radiotherapeutic treatment modality for the previously irradiated patient is cyberknife radiosurgery, which uses a linear accelerator mounted on an industrial robotic arm to allow non-coplanar radiation therapy delivery with sub-millimeter precision. This study describes the first reported use of cyberknife radiosurgery for the treatment of recurrent vulvar cancer in three women.
Key words: Vulvar cancer; Cyberknife radiosurgery.

La clemenza di Tito — Barbican
The last opera seria — Mozart's late, austere masterpiece, and vividly brought it to life.
The cast of supporting roles was especially strong in the company's new production of Mozart's matchless masterpiece
The company uncorks its 40th Anniversary season with a visually and musically satisfying production of Johann Strauss Jr.'s farcical operetta
Although performances of Richard Strauss's last opera Capriccio have increased in recent time, Lyric Opera of Chicago has not experienced the "Konversationsstück für Musik" during the past twenty odd years.
The former lyric soprano holds up well — and survives the intrusive close-up camerawork of the 'Live in HD' transmission
Houston Grand Opera commissioned Cruzar la Cara de la Luna from composer José "Pepe" Martínez, music director of Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán, who wrote the text together with Broadway and opera director Leonard Foglia. The work had its world premier in 2010. Since then, it has traveled to several cities including Paris, Chicago, and San Diego.
"Why should I go to hear Plácido Domingo" someone said when Verdi's I due Foscari was announced by the Royal Opera House. There are very good reasons for doing so.
Music Theatre Wales presented the world premiere of Philip Glass's The Trial (Kafka) last night at the Linbury, Royal Opera House. Music Theatre Wales started doing Glass in 1989. Their production of Glass's In the Penal Colony in 2010 was such a success that Glass conceived The Trial specially for the company.
To say that the English Concert's performance of Handel's Alcina at the Barbican on 10 October 2014 was hotly anticipated would be an understatement. Sold out for weeks, the performance capitalised on the draw of its two principals Joyce DiDonato and Alice Coote and generated the sort of buzz which the work did at its premiere.
The subject is regicide, a hot topic during the Italian risorgimento when the Italian peninsula was in the grip of the Hapsburgs, the Bourbons, the House of Savoy and the Pontiff of the Catholic Church.
Lyric Opera of Chicago opened its sixtieth anniversary season with a new production of Mozart's Don Giovanni directed by Artistic Director of the Goodman Theater, Robert Falls.
It was a little over two years ago that I heard Sir Colin Davis conduct the Berlioz Requiem in St Paul's Cathedral; it was the last time I heard — or indeed saw — him conduct his beloved and loving London Symphony Orchestra.
Part of their Liberty or Death season along with Rossini's Mose in Egitto and Bizet's Carmen, Welsh National Opera performed David Pountney's new production of Rossini's Guillaume Tell (seen 4 October 2014).
Welsh National Opera's production of Rossini's Mose in Egitto was the second of two Rossini operas (the other is Guillaume Tell) performed in tandem for their autumn tour.
In Monteverdi's first Venetian opera, Il Ritorno d'Ulisse (1641), Penelope's patient devotion as she waits for the return of her beloved Ulysses culminates in the triumph of love and faithfulness; in contrast, in L'incoronazione di Poppea it is the eponymous Queen's lust, passion and ambition that prevail.
After the triumphs of love, the surprises: Les Paladins, under their director Jérôme Correas, and soprano Sandrine Piau are following their tour of material from their 2011 CD, 'Le Triomphe de L'amour', with a new amatory arrangement.
At the ENO, Puccini's La fanciulla del West becomes The Girl of the Golden West. Hearing this opera in English instead of Italian has its advantages, While we can still hear the exotic, Italianate Madama Butterfly fantasies in the orchestra, in English, we're closer to the original pot-boiler melodrama. Madama Biutterfly is premier cru: The Girl of the Golden West veers closer, at times, to hokum. The new ENO production gets round the implausibility of the plot by engaging with its natural innocence.
Presenting a well-structured and characterful programme, Italian soprano Anna Caterina Antonacci demonstrated her prowess in both soprano and mezzo repertoire in this Wigmore Hall recital, performing European works from the early years of the twentieth century. Assuredly accompanied by her regular pianist Donald Sulzen, Antonacci was self-composed and calm of manner, but also evinced a warmly engaging stage presence throughout.
Bold, bright and brash, Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier's Il barbiere di Siviglia tells its story clearly in complementary primary colours.
Bampton Classical Opera's 2014 double bill neatly balanced drollery and gravity. Rectifying the apparent prevailing indifference to the 300th centenary of Christoph Willibald Gluck birth, Bampton offered a sharp, witty production of the composer's Il Parnaso confuso, pairing this 'festa teatrale' with Ferdinando Bertoni's more sombre Orfeo.
Harry Christophers and The Sixteen Choir and Orchestra launched the Wigmore Hall's two-year series, 'Purcell: A Retrospective', in splendid style. Flexibility, buoyancy and transparency were the watchwords.
The last opera seria — Mozart's late, austere masterpiece, and vividly brought it to life.
After writing three great Italian operas which advanced the genre immensely, Mozart turned his attention elsewhere. In his final year he wrote two last operas, which not only contrast with each other but with the three Da Ponte operas which precede them. His singspiel Die Zauberflöte has long been accepted on operatic stages, but La clemenza di Tito has only relatively recently come to acceptance as being stage-worthy.
Somehow, Mozart's reverting to an opera seria libretto based on Metastasio seemed a step backwards; compared to the three Da Ponte operas, La clemenza di Tito can seem static and actionless. It is in fact an opera which requires the right performers, and at the Barbican on Wednesday 22nd February, the Deutscher Kammerphiharmonie Bremen, under conductor Louis Langrée presented the opera in concert, with a cast who seemed to understand Mozart's late, austere masterpiece, and vividly brought it to life.
Of course, the piece isn't strictly an opera seria; the libretto was re-written for Mozart by Caterino Mazzola the Dresden court librettist. Mazzola reduced the number of acts to two and introduced trios, duets and ensembles, giving a greater role to the chorus and creating the Act 1 choral finale. (In fact there is a Gluck setting of the original libretto and I have long thought that it would be illuminating to hear the two side by side in concert.) But Mozart kept a number of opera seria elements in his setting, notably the use of long, highly serious arias; this of course was helped by the fact that one of the arias was a pre-existing concert aria which Mozart included, thus facilitating the speeding writing of the piece. He also relished the way the drama turns slowly, that we get to examine the major characters in detail, emotion by emotion, Affekt by Affekt.
The subtlety which Mozart and Mazzola brought to the piece is demonstrated by their Act 1 trio for Vitellia, Publio and Annio, inserted at the point where Tito has decided to make Vitellia his bride. This could easily have been an aria for Vitellia as she agonises over the fact that it is too late to call back Sesto from his plot; instead Mozart and Mazzola counterpoint this with Publio and Annio's reactions, naturally they assume that Vitellia is imply overcome by the enormity of the honour of being made Caesar's wife.
The concert performance at the Barbican was the third stop in a four city tour (Dortmund, Bremen, London, Paris) so that the performance was well bedded in. Though scores were used by the singers, some seemed to ignore them entirely and others were hardly bound to them. In fact this was a highly dramatic presentation. Chief amongst this was the Tito of Michael Schade. Schade used the recitatives in a vivid way, sometimes distorting the line for emphasis. His Tito was no compliant dummy, but a highly emotional and at times over-wrought man; in fact Schade was one of the most extrovert Tito's I have ever seen, a highly involved and strongly projected performance. This was combined with some very fine Mozart singing, with a clear sense of line combined with dramatic thrust. This made Tito much more of a major player in the drama, rather than a passive ruler to whom things happened as has often been the case with other tenors in this role. Though I have to say that sometimes I thought that Schade went it little too far, with over emphatic dramatics which a good director would surely have taken in hand (there was no director credited in the programme).
Alice Coote's Sesto was no less dramatic, but all the more compelling for being a far less histrionic performance. Coote's Sesto was firmly rooted in the music, in the long statuesque arias which Mozart wrote for the character. The great showpiece "Parto, parto" was superbly done, finely accompanied by the solo bassett clarinet from the orchestra. But Sesto's big accompagnato at the opening of Act 2 also showed a great artist at work, combining musical values with profound drama. Coote is highly experienced in baroque opera seria and so you felt that her performance in this, the last opera seria, was inflected by Mozart's reflection of the past. Coote's Sesto reflected both Mozart's other writing for mezzo-soprano, but also earlier Handelian roles.
She was ably partnered by the Vitellia of Malin Hartelius. Vitellia is a curious role; written for a soprano, it includes the aria, "Non piu di fiori", which may originally have been concert aria for a distinctly lower voice. This gives the part quite a wide range and its tessitura is such that mezzo-sopranos such as Janet Baker and Della Jones have played with role and on stage it can often be performed by a dramatic soprano (Julia Varady has recorded the role). Malin Hartelius has a rather lighter voice than these; her CV includes recent highlights such as Fiordiligi, Leila (Le Pecheurs de Perles) and her first Marschallin. She played Vitellia as more overtly sexy and rather less the scheming bitch; Hartelius brought a sexual charge to a lot of Vitellia's music, here was a woman who lived in a man's world by trading on her female wiles and charms. The relative lightness of Hartelius's voice meant that we got a nice flexibility in the vocal line, which was a great treat. (Here was a Vitellia more closely related to Fiordiligi than is sometimes the case). She approached the top of her voice with caution, but nothing was announced regarding indisposition. In "Non piu di fiori" she approached the low notes bravely, making the effort seem part and parcel of a fine performance; again the obliggato was played finely by the orchestra's clarinettist, this time on a bassett horn, thus giving the aria its distinctive tint.
Coote and Hartelius developed a strongly co-dependent relationship which was all too believable and became the strong engine of the drama around which the other roles circulated. Luckily the cast formed a strong ensemble, so that Coote and Hartelius did not overbalance the drama.
Christina Daletska displayed a lighter, brighter voice than Coote, so that her Annio was clearly related to Cherubino, though a Cherubino now grown up and willing to challenge authority. Daletska gave a seriously fine account of Annio's aria "Tu fosti tradito" when he stands up to Tito after the discovery of Sesto's involvement in the plot against Tito.
Rosa Feola was an entirely admirable Servilia, giving a performance that combined charm with a certain interesting dramatic edge. She left you wishing that Mozart had written more for this character.
Brindley Sherratt was Publio, the commander of the Praetorian Guards; a role entirely without aria, but one which has an important part to play in the drama and in the ensembles. Sherratt discharged his duty entirely admirably and convincingly, bringing a nicely dramatic firmness of line to the role.
Of course, one major aspect of any performance ofLa clemenza di Tito is the recitative. There's a lot of it and it's not all by Mozart; one of his pupils wrote it under his supervision. The cast gave us quite a full version, accompanied by Raphael Alpermann's lively fortepiano. The result was fleet and dramatic, keeping the action moving and making us aware that it really was drama.
The Deutscher Kammerchor provided the choral moments with nicely turned phrases. They were not on stage all the time, so their entrances and exits were a little distracting, but once present their singing was of a high order.
Conductor Louis Langrée drew a fluent and at times speedy account of the music from the Deustche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. But Langrée's concern for lively expressiveness seemed at times to be at the expense of cohesiveness of ensemble. Still, he got a vivid and involving performance from everyone and above all made us believe in La clemenza di Tito as drama, rather than a museum curiosity.

Beyond Fear: A Toltec Guide to Freedom and Joy
Artists:Ruiz, Miguel Don
Publisher:Council Oak Books
In Teotihuacan, the ancient Toltec ruin outside Mexico City, nagual Miguel Angel Ruiz leads an extraordinary tour of the mysterious ancient pyramids, a journey geared not just for learning, but also for spiritual transformation. Ruiz, a medical doctor and surgeon, is a direct descendant of the Toltec tradition who received spiritual training to become a nagual ("Master of Intent") from his mother's family. His wisdom comes from a vision of the spiritual center in Teotihuacan where ancient masters discovered a process for ridding themselves of fear. In this book, as on his tours, he shares this extraordinary body of mystic knowledge. Beyond Fear shows how ancient Toltec practice can be applied in today's world, enabling the practitioner to become freed from fear, spiritually and emotionally transformed.

Review :
Fun, Old-Fashioned Adventure
This movie had just a couple of things I would have changed but the overwhelming minutes of this 137-minute movie were well done: a nice old- fashioned adventure story.
Yes, it's hokey in spots, there is a needless irreverent scene in the confessional and the final action scene goes on too long, but all of that is almost standard fare in today's films. Anyway, the "good" in this film far outweighs the "bad."
Some of the "good" is beautiful cinematography featuring bold colors; good action scenes; very little profanity; interesting and somewhat likable lead characters (played by Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Bandaras and Catherine Zeta- Jones), a fun story and very good 5.1surround sound.
Zeta-Jones was a brand new "face" with this movie and she's never looked better. Hopkins, as usual, is the best character as the older "Zorro" who teaches the young one (Bandaras). Some of the action scenes are almost cartoon-like in credibility (Bandaras doing flips while riding two horses at once!) but they are fun.
The story is a familiar one that seems to always satisfy people: revenge.

West Palm to receive $780,000 to help 100 troubled young adults obtain jobs
- 11:04 am Friday, April 12th, 2013 by Andrew Abramson
To give young adults with criminal records a second chance, the Urban League of Palm Beach County has received a $780,000 federal grant that will help 100 people ages 18 to 24 get jobs.
The nonprofit was was one of 10 Urban League chapters in the country to receive a grant, and the money will go toward young adults in the 33407 zip code of West Palm Beach. That zip code, in the north end of West Palm, has the highest poverty and crime rate in the city. It's also the No. 2 zip code in the county for youth offenders, behind Riviera Beach.
"These are kids who may not have made it through high school, kids in low income areas, kids who may have criminal records — most will have criminal records," said Patrick Franklin, CEO of the Urban League of Palm Beach County, at a press conference on Friday. "We're looking to employ them."
Franklin said the Urban League will work with the participants for six weeks on "time management, ethics, job preparedness and everything it will take to put a well-rounded person into their job" before they gain employment.
West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio said: "$780,000 is a whole lot of money. The best part for me is that the money is going to be spent right here in West Palm Beach, serving the young people of our community."

Diabetes Health Center
Diabetic Nephropathy - Treatment Overview
Treatment if the condition gets worse
If damage to the blood vessels in the kidneys continues, kidney failure may eventually develop. When that occurs, it is likely that you will need dialysis treatment (renal replacement therapy)—an artificial method of filtering the blood—or a kidney transplant to survive. To learn more, see the topic Chronic Kidney Disease.
What to think about
Diabetic nephropathy can get worse during pregnancy and can affect the growth and development of the fetus. If your nephropathy is not severe, your kidney function may return to its prepregnancy level after the baby is born. If you have severe nephropathy, pregnancy may lead to permanent worsening of your kidney function.
If you have nephropathy and are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor about which medicines you can take. You may not be able to take some medicines (for example, angiotensin-converting enzyme [ACE] inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers [ARBs]) during pregnancy, because they may harm your developing baby.
Prevention is the best way to avoid kidney damage from diabetic nephropathy.
- Keep your blood sugar levels within your target range. Manage your blood sugar by eating healthy foods, taking your medicine, and getting regular exercise. Your doctor may want you to check your blood sugar several times each day.
- Have yearly testing for protein in your urine.
- If you have type 1 diabetes, begin urine tests for protein after you have had diabetes for 5 years.
- Children with type 1 diabetes should begin yearly urine protein screening when they are 10 years of age and have had diabetes for 5 years.
- If you have type 2 diabetes, begin screening at the time diabetes is diagnosed.
- Keep your blood pressure under control with medicine, diet, and exercise. Learn to check your blood pressure at home.
- Stay at a healthy weight. This can help you prevent other diseases, such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
- Follow the nutrition guidelines for hypertension (including the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, or DASH, diet).
- Do not smoke or use other tobacco products.
If you already have diabetic nephropathy, you may be able to slow the progression of kidney damage by:
- Avoiding dehydration by promptly treating other conditions—such as diarrhea, vomiting, or fever—that can cause it. Be especially careful during hot weather or when you exercise.
- Reducing your risk of heart disease. Lifestyle changes such as eating a low-fat diet, quitting smoking , and getting regular exercise can help reduce your overall risk of developing heart disease and stroke.
- Treating other conditions that may block the normal flow of urine out of the kidneys, such as kidney stones, an enlarged prostate, or bladder problems.
- Not using medicines that may be harmful to your kidneys, especially nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Be sure that your doctor knows about all prescription, nonprescription, and herbal medicines you are taking.
- Avoiding X-ray tests that require IV contrast material, such as angiograms, intravenous pyelography (IVP), and some CT scans. IV contrast can cause further kidney damage. If you do need to have these types of tests, make sure your doctor knows that you have diabetic nephropathy.
- Avoiding situations where you risk losing large amounts of blood, such as unnecessary surgeries. Do not donate blood or plasma.
- Lowering your blood pressure, because high blood pressure can make kidney damage even worse.
- Checking with your doctor to find out if it is safe for you to drink alcohol. Limiting alcohol can lower your blood pressure and lower your risk of kidney damage.

Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

MICHAEL LIEDTKE, AP Technology Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Google wants to offer ultra-fast Internet service in 34 more cities scattered across eight states in the company's boldest challenge to cable and telecommunications providers.
The ambitious expansion of "Google Fiber" announced Wednesday targets major U.S. cities including Atlanta; Phoenix; Portland, Ore.; San Antonio and parts of the San Francisco Bay Area.
The service derives its name from the fiber-optic cables that Google installs to deliver online data instead of clunky copper lines. The sleeker technology allows Google Fiber customers to surf the Internet at a speed of one gigabit per second, up to 100 times faster than existing broadband services. Google Fiber boasts that its service can download an entire movie in less than two minutes.
The plans to move into so many other cities are the clearest sign yet that Google, already the Internet's most powerful Internet company, intends to become a bigger player in providing access to the Internet, too. Launched as an experimental project in 2010, Google Fiber so far is only available in Kansas City, Kan.; Kansas City, Mo. and Provo, Utah. It is coming to Austin, Texas later this year.
As it enters more markets, Google is hoping the competition will prod existing Internet service providers such as Comcast, Verizon Communications and Dallas-based AT&T Inc. to upgrade their networks so they can run at faster speeds. Google figures it would still benefit in that scenario if the improvements to rival networks spur more Web surfing.
But four of the largest U.S. metropolitan areas — New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia — are not on Google's list. Those are among the many U.S. markets where either Comcast Corp. or Time Warner Cable Inc. has emerged as a leading provider of high-speed Internet service. Comcast last week announced plans to buy Time Warner Cable for $45 billion in a deal already facing resistance from consumer rights groups worried that the combination will drive up prices for broadband and cable TV.
Prices for Google Fiber are comparable or below what most households already pay. For example, in the two Kansas City markets, Google Fiber charges about $70 per month for just high-speed Internet service. A package that bundles the Internet service with more than 100 high-definition television channels costs about $120 per month.
Google's ownership of some the Internet's most lucrative advertising networks and heavily trafficked services such its YouTube video site gives the company a powerful incentive to make it more affordable and enjoyable to spend time online. Google CEO Larry Page is hoping the company can make more money from ads and other services if faster connections and a proliferation of computing devices can make the Internet even more addictive than it already is for tens of millions of people.
"People do more of what they love on the Web when the speeds are fast and they walk away when things are slow," said Kevin Lo, general manager of Google Fiber.
Although Google believes it can make more money over the long run if Internet speeds are faster, its decision to build ultra-fast access networks has unnerved some investors who worry about how much money all the projects will cost. Lo declined to estimate how much Google would have to spend to wire all 34 cities on its wish list, but said the cost of fiber optic has been steadily declining.
Google Inc.'s blueprint for building more fiber-optic networks is tentative because the company still needs to work out logistics over issues such as construction and traffic with local government leaders.
An update on which cities will actually get Google Fiber is supposed to be provided later this year. It could then take another year or two before the service is available in the selected cities.
If Google realizes its goal, the company will provide high-speed Internet service in these additional cities: Phoenix; Scottsdale, Ariz.; Tempe, Ariz.; San Jose, Calif.; Santa Clara, Calif.; Sunnyvale, Calif.; its hometown of Mountain View, Calif.; Palo Alto, Calif.; Atlanta; Avondale Estates, Ga.; Brookhaven, Ga.; College Park, Ga.; Decatur, Ga.; East Point, Ga.; Hapeville, Ga.; Sandy Springs, Ga.; Smyrna, Ga.; Nashville, Tenn.; Charlotte, N.C.; Carrboro, Cary, N.C.; Chapel Hill, N.C.; Durham, N.C.; Garner, N.C.; Morrisville, N.C.; Raleigh, N.C.; Portland, Ore.; Beaverton, Ore.; Hillsboro, Ore.; Gresham, Ore.' Lake Oswego, Ore; Tigard, Ore.; San Antonio; and Salt Lake City.
