Celtic Solstice – Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt
Posted Saturday, January 18th, 2014 in Celtic Solstice | Tags: , mystery quilt, Scraps
This is the mystery quilt, Celtic Solstice, by Bonnie Hunter. She instructed us to go to Lowes and get paint cards in the following colors, listing the darkest color on each card they are:
I have been working on this quilt since December and finished the top yesterday. Bonnie Hunter gave clues weekly, starting on November 29. I got behind with my sewing in December when we were in Columbus for the birth of Samantha and again for Christmas. My favorite machine, the Husqvarna Viking Quilt Designer, had an issue when I was starting clue two and had to go in for repair. I got out my white Singer Featherweight to sew the chevron blocks. It doesn't run as fast as I like, so then I switched to my Janome 10001. In the mean time, I received a call that my Viking was fixed. I went to Fort Wayne to get my machine and finished assembling the quilt on the Viking.
Bonnie will have the pattern available on her website until June 1. Click here to see the instructions. You can add your link to Bonnie's blog by clicking here.

Oh, my goodness! This is gorgeous. What a beautiful quilt you have made. The idea that you were instructed to get and use the paint cards as your color guild fascinates me. It definitely worked because the colors are lovely. Great job. genie

The Bright Minds Foundation Announces 2014 Staff and Teacher Grant Awardees
Bright Minds has awarded $14,775 to several Howard County Public School Teachers and Staff during the month of December 2013, which will be used to implement innovative classroom projects during 2014.
The grant program was created to fulfill the need of teachers who developed innovative projects to enhance learning and often tried to pay for them out of pocket. The program is entirely within the mission of the Foundation, which is to bring private money to support education in Howard County in ways the budget may not always provide.
Staff and teachers competed for grants ranging from $500 - $2000 to implement projects in a number of 21st Century Competency categories, such as Heath and Wellness Awareness; Financial, Economic, Business and Entrepreneurship Literacy; Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM); Information and Communications Technology Literacy and Global and Civic Awareness. Additionally, to be selected, proposed projects had to show as well that they met the principles of the Foundation: equity and equality, education innovation and skills for a lifetime. Funding for the program was provided by community partners and supporters, as shown below.
An award of $2000 was made to Dr. Maddy Halbach of the ARL under the category of Financial Literacy for her program Investing in Your Future which is intended to attract middle school students, who might otherwise not have this vision for themselves, to consider a future career in finance. Funding for this grant has been provided by the Capital One Bank.
Under the STEM category, and funded by a grant from Northrop Grumman, were teachers Jennifer Forgnoni of Atholton HS, who received $2000 for her project entitled Examining Earth's Natural Resources, and Nancy Smith of Centennial HS who received $878 for her project Renewing Energy Resources. Both programs will purchase supplies and equipment that will allow students to do real world testing in order to gain better understanding of the complex issues involved.
The remaining projects will be funded from the proceeds of a grant awarded to Bright Minds by the Community Foundation of Howard County earlier this year specifically for this purpose. Under the category of Information and Communications Technology Literacy, $2000 will go to teacher Carly Norris so that her kindergarten class at Deep Run Elementary can participate in the IPad Mini Kindergarten Classroom Lab, which will incorporate IPads in the classroom. This program is designed to ensure that each student has the same opportunity to learn regardless of their level of access to technology at home.
Three projects will bring enhanced health initiatives to students, under the Health and Wellness Awareness category: Ross Chakrian of Waverly Elementary will receive $2000 to purchase heart monitors under his Heart to Heart Monitoring Program, which will allow students the opportunity to measure their heart rates at various times. Principal Michelle Leader at Waterloo Elementary will receive $1800 for Try It Fridays, a program designed to present new foods to children to widen their experience of nutritional foods every month. AT the Homewood Center, Suzanne McMurtray will have $2000 for PHIT, Putting Health in Today, a program intended to incorporate vigorous cardiovascular activity into students' daily routine, including lessons in nutrition and hydration.
Finally, the remaining awarded projects are in the category of Global and Civic Awareness. A grant of $2000 will go to Patricia Branner-Pierce, a specialist in the Black Student Achievement Program, to purchase keyboard equipment for the Piano for Youth Summer Music Theory and Math Camp, to be used to teach students who are part of the after school centers who wish to learn to play the piano. Bonnie Branch Middle School Teacher Dawn Wrenn will receive $500 for Black Saga, a program that strengthens students' awareness and knowledge about the African American experience through various media and activities.
Congratulations to our 2014 awardees! We look forward to visiting your classrooms.

Stay the course
I love the story of James Podsiadly for one reason. He has broken convention and in doing so, will change peoples perception forever.
For the uninitiated, James managed to break into the AFL ranks for the first time at the age of 28. Playing his first game for Geelong in season 2010. In football terms he's a senior citizen. In fact, most people start retiring around that vintage. But James wasn't fortunate enough to get picked to play at AFL level at a young age. Geelong is his third club, and he has been starring this year.
He's proven that age is relative to development.
He's proven that age is relative to opportunity.
He's proven that desire can be translated into results.
He's proven that great work eventually gets noticed.
He's proven that sometimes people / companies / clubs get it wrong.
He's proven that staying the course over a a long period is where results live.
So far in the year 2010, he's the most inspiring person I've come across. Before we make an assessment of someone's worth, we should think of James. He's also who we should remember when we think of quitting, or we're overlooked in whatever we are doing.
Startup Blog says: Thankyou James.

Nice piece Samma, the JPod is a fantastic story of persistence and keeping the dream alive. He may well end up an All Australian, Rookie of the Year and a Premiership player in 2010.
It bares similarity to the legendary Kurt Warner American football story.
Warner was a collegiate star who got cut from a bunch of NFL teams, played in the lowly Arena Football leagues until his career was seemingly over when he found himself stacking shelves in a supermarket.
He gets a contract to play in the NFL's European League and a couple of years later is given another chance on the St Louis Rams roster as their 3rd string quarter back.
In 1999 injury and trades gave him a shot at the starting job and in one of the great Cinderella stories in American sport leads the Rams to win the Super Bowl, was named the MVP and ends up Sports Illustraded's [Mag] Athlete of the year.
Sometimes success in life, sport and business is just staying in the game long enough until your moment comes, chances are the longer it takes the more ready to handle the trimmings and pressure that come with it you'll be.
Podsiadly seems calm and gracious [in what little I've seen of him in the media] in handling his new found fame. I think in part that comes from being a 10 year-overnight-success-story.
I'm no Geelong fan, but I'd love to see the JPod get a shot at a Premiership like Warner did. I think he'd be pretty ready to play on the big day in a granny.
More on the Kurt Warner story…
Michael Barlow is another awesome story along the same lines.
Clay Cook.
Funny how some things just sink in better 'cause of your interest; eg playing sports
Aida (@aida_lee via twitter)
This post came just at the right time. Tomorrow I launch something that I've wanted to do for years…it's now my time. I'm excited and as nervous as hell. I'll keep jpod in the back of my mind, me thinks! Thanks big guy.
Thankyou James indeed!!

Honeywell Acquires RAE Systems, A Leading Global Gas Detection Company
MINNEAPOLIS, April 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today a definitive agreement to acquire RAE Systems, Inc., a privately held manufacturer of fixed and portable gas and radiation detections systems, and software for $340 million. The purchase price translates to approximately thirteen times RAE Systems' estimated 2013 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), or approximately six times on a synergy adjusted run-rate basis integrating with Honeywell's gas portfolio. The agreement, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory review, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2013 and does not change Honeywell's 2013 full-year guidance.
RAE Systems, with 2012 sales of approximately $107 million, offers a full line of personal, hand-held, transportable and fixed gas, radiation and photo-ionization sensing and detection devices for the government, oil and gas, industrial and emergency response sectors for use in a wide range of personal, plant safety and regulatory compliance applications. Their products are used in more than 120 countries by many of the world's leading corporations and government agencies, as well as numerous city and state entities in the U.S.
"RAE Systems is a pioneer in the gas detection industry with unrivalled technologies," said Mark Levy, president and CEO of Honeywell Life Safety. "Their strong presence in hazardous material, first responder, and government complements our existing business very well, and their expertise in photo-ionization detection, wireless, and radiation detection represent terrific opportunities to expand our reach. RAE Systems' geographic, manufacturing and distribution footprint, especially in high-growth countries like China, will help to make our already-strong gas detection portfolio an even greater global franchise in a very good industry. RAE Systems is a very compelling strategic fit for Honeywell."
RAE Systems, founded in 1991 and based in San Jose, California, has approximately 750 employees and will be integrated into Honeywell Analytics, part of Honeywell Life Safety (HLS) within Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions (ACS).This transaction builds on other successful acquisitions by Honeywell Life Safety including Zellweger Analytics in 2005, First Technology in 2006, the gas detection businesses of Sperian in 2010, and Fire Sentry in 2012. Honeywell Life Safety's gas detection portfolio has technologies suited to address every type of gas detection requirement including industrial fire and gas systems, portable gas detection, flame and centralized gas monitoring systems and systems used in commercial building environments. Honeywell brings together nearly 200 collective years of expertise in the design, manufacture and technology of gas detection.

Confusion need help soon before he calls
Find a Conversation
Confusion need help soon before he calls
|Thu, 03-27-2003 - 10:06pm
Okay well I had started writing in a board before this new change happened and now I am lost. But the title of this board explains what is going on. Okay I really need help. I met this guy where I used to work at and we slowly became friends. After his break up and my divorce we slowly began to get closer. Then one day without a clue I was head over heels for him. A year has gone by I can honestly say that we have remianed best friends through out our relationship. But in the beginning our this month he decides to tell me that he feels this relationship is going nowhere. WHAT? WHere did this come from? But after long talk and many tears it come down to I feel miscommunication..for lack of better words. He said that he is not looking for soemone just to date and that he wants to find soemone to build a future with. He doesn't feel that I showed him that I wanted the same. SO what is the point of being in a relationship when 2 people don't want the same. I told him that he was wrong and that I too wanted the same and the only reason I never made the relationship seemed really serious is because I didnt want to scare him away. But now that I knew how he felt it changed everything. And that I am making a career for myself but in just takes time. He asked for time to think of our talk. He seems so distant from me and as if he lost interest in the relationship. He still calls and I seem him less and less ( that was one of our small problems the lack of quality time we spent together). He is starting his own business and he told me that its a priority for him to get his business off the ground. I don't understand why is he putting my off on the sideline I am more than supportive of him. I am so confused. At times I just feel like not taking any of his calls and walking away. But I don't want to seem childish and make him think I have no patience but at the same time I don't want him to take me for granted.It's been a week since we had our talk and I don't see him making a decision any time soon.. i feel so helpless.. My future is in his hands I have no control over it. On Tuesday we were talking and I became silent..so did he..I then told him that I loved him..I missed him.. he replied me too..I then said I miss US...He answered I miss us too..He still tells me that he loves me..he still calls.. I am receiving mixed signals. Should I stay or should I go? How long do I give him to think? How can I make him react..HE either wants to be with me or not. WHat is there to think about? He knows I love him, I am his best friend, We never fight, We laugh, cry and enjoy each other when we spend time together...Why did he change? Please someone give me some advise!!!
|Fri, 03-28-2003 - 3:39pm
I would suggest that you let him know.. either by conversation, or by letter.. how you feel, where you are hoping the relationship will go, and how this all is leaving you with mixed feelings. I am mostly refering to his mixed.. or lacking altogether... signals. The way you laid it out here for us was perfect. You are not casting any blame, just explaining how you feel. In the letter (conversation) let him know that you would like this all cleared up by such and such a date. Until that time, continue your relationship with him as if nothing is wrong. Business as usual, so to speak. That way, the feeling of uncomfortableness will not have to hang over you both every time you have contact with each other. Tell him how it makes you feel that you are the one making all the effort.. what is the worst that can happen? You break up? Well, sister, if you don't do something soon, that will happen anyways.. so you have nothing to loose, and everything to gain.

This was wonderful! I loved the addition of roasted garlic.ReplyDeleteReplies

I am sorry to say that this is not an authentic recipe. Echter Obatzda hod koan Frischkas, oba nie und nimma! You can take it from this Bavarian that genuine Obatzda does not contain cream cheese. One may add a bit of fresh cream, but never cream cheese. I have a 200-year-old family recipe (sorry, I will not share it), which is as authentic as it gets.ReplyDelete
This is not an authentic recipe. Echter Obatzda hod nie und nimma an Frischkas und scho gar koa Becks, weil des a greislichs Gsöff is! You can take it from this Bavarian (Chiemgau) who has access to an almost 200-year-old family recipe that cream cheese is not an ingredient. A bit of fresh cream, yes, but cream cheese, NO!ReplyDelete
This is not an authentic recipe. A echter obaboarischer Obatzda hod nie und nimma an Frischkas und scho gar koa Becks - wos owei eh a greislichs Preissngsoeff is! You can take it from this Bavarian, who is in possession of a genuine 200-year-old family recipe that a) Obatzda never contains cream cheese, b) is not made in a food processor, but by hand, which gives it the unique texture, and c) never contains Becks which is an insult to every Bavarian.ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting my blog! I love hearing from family, friends, and bloggers, so please leave a comment. Happy cooking!

Taking care of a child or adult on the autistic spectrum can be challenging. Parents and other caregivers often don't have enough time for themselves and need a break to re-energize.
To help, ASO launched its popular "Take A Break on ASO" program in 2007. Since then, we have provided over 500 parents and caregivers with gift certificates to wonderful local restaurants, passes to first-run movies and paid for respite care for their child(ren) - including adult children - on the autistic spectrum.
Under the Take a Break on ASO program, you and your guest will receive:
- a $25 restaurant gift certificate;
- 2 movie tickets; and
- up to 4 hours of respite care at $13/hour (total $52)
How to Apply:
To participate in the Take A Break on ASO program, please contact the ASO office by phone at (503) 636-1676 or toll-free at: 1-888-AUTISM-1, or email us from our Contact Page.
Take A Break participants are selected on a first-come, first-served basis around the state. We try to fulfill all requests as soon as possible. Due to the generosity of our donors, we have been able to reduce the waiting time and are taking names of families who would like to participate.
Guidelines For Respite Care:
Parents/caregivers are responsible for arranging for the respite care. Family members are welcome to provide respite care, so long as they are over the age of 18.
ASO will pay the respite care provider directly. We will send you a form to give to your respite care provider to fill out and return to ASO for payment after respite care services are provided.
To Donate to Take A Break:
We depend on our generous sponsors to make this program possible. If you would like to contribute to Take A Break on ASO" or donate gift certificates for use by families, please contct ASO at at (503) 636-1676 or toll-free at: 1-888-AUTISM-1, or email us from our Contact Page.
A special thank you to our generous sponsors who make this program possible.
"This time away gave us an opportunity to reconnect with each other and have a real uninterrupted conversation. I can't stress to you enough how important this is to our relationship and to recharge our batteries. Families with children on the Autism Spectrum are so exhausted and we all need a good break to keep up."
Kathy & Steve, Lane County
"These kinds of breaks really do mean a lot to me and my husband. We have had a lot on our plate the last 20 years but are in it together for the long haul. These special gifts of respite are very valuable. Thank you for all you do!"
Tammie, Yamhill County
"Thank you so much for all you do. I am a single parent doing this all alone. As you probably figured, this was a nice treat to have. Again, I just want to say thank you all! It's a big help knowing that others do care and understand. So again thank you, and I hope that the good karma comes back around to you all."
Jeramy, Deschutes County
"My husband and I want to thank you for providing us with a wonderful afternoon outing. I had the best hamburger I've ever had in my entire life! Then, we went to a movie where we enjoyed a comedy. I cannot tell you the last time we had the opportunity to go somewhere, just the two of us, to relax and laugh. We really needed this break."
Nancy, Washington County
"Thanks so much to ASO for the Take A Break program! My wife and I had a terrific time, enjoying a wonderful meal in a restaurant that normally would have been off-limits to us as our two autistic children would not have been able to handle the sensory input. With all of the extra costs of raising special needs children, this was much appreciated gift."
Dale, Clackamas County
"Caring for two autistic children has been quite a challenge for us. It's nice to know that there is an organization that understands and cares about not only the autistic child, but also the caregivers for those children. We can't say enough positive things about our experience with 'Take a Break on ASO!'"
Damon & Susan, Multnomah County

Custom Attributes in HTML 5
Created: May 26th, 09
An interesting new part of HTML 5 is its formal support- or should I say endorsement- of custom attributes inside HTML elements. Technically it's always been possible to inject arbitrary attributes into an element and parse them using JavaScript getAttribute() method, but not without getting an earful from the W3C validator (not to mention some of your peers) each time. The following fails as valid HTML:

This is because custom attributes of any type isn't part of HTML's specs, until now that is. Based on growing pressure from the webmaster community, HTML 5 has finally given in, by giving us a new "data" attribute that lets you define custom attributes in a structured way within HTML elements. Lets see what that's all about, and how it's useful.
Defining and parsing the data attribute
In HTML 5, you define custom attributes using the "data" attribute. The exact format is "data-*", where "*" is replaced with the desired custom attribute name, then set to the desired string value. For example:

Your attribute name must be prefixed with "
The appeal of custom attributes is that it lets you easily associate
tidbits of information with an element, to be parsed later using JavaScript
for example. There are two ways to retrieve the value of "data"
attributes using JavaScript: the first is via the good old fashion
var mydiv=document.getElementById('mydiv')
Before you go wild with the "
The HTML 5 doctype
Since the "data" attribute is the brainchild of HTML 5, your page should carry a doctype that informs the W3C validator of this if you want the page to validate (after all, isn't that the whole point?). The common XHTML or HTML 4 doctypes will fail, as the "data" attribute is a fish out of the water in those settings. So what to use? W3C advocates the very simple doctype:
for HTML 5. Now, don't let the simplicity of this doctype fool you- it not only validates the document as HTML 5, but also causes all browsers to render the web page is standards compliant mode, similar to what the other proper doctypes do.
Example- Making use of the "data" attribute in image rollovers

Today on Morning Joe, we heard—from Gary's son Mike Allen—about Karl Rove's approved picks for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. Romney, etc. Joe Scarborough then said that real conservatives were most inspired by…Indiana gov. Mitch Daniels. Mitch, a servitor of Big Pharma and especially Eli Lilly, is just another establishment boy. But here is the problem for Rove and the whole Rockefeller-Bush-Fed-Wall Street-Bank-Drug-CIA-Pentagon regime: only one Republican excites people, the candidate of freedom, honest money, and peace, the only one unowned by the power elite: Ron Paul.
UPDATE from Robert Wenzel:
8:04 am on March 10, 2010 Email Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
I note your comment that on Morning Joe only Karl Rove approved 2012 Republican presidential candidates were named, and not Ron Paul.
I happened to be in a bookstore yesterday and glanced through the index in Rove's new book to look for any page references to Ron Paul. Same thing, no mention of Ron Paul. I have to conclude that Ron Paul and his supporters are simply too complex for Bush's brain to deal with.

Cape area school enrollment fell by 2.11% in the 2011-2012 school year, with Provincetown suffering the highest loss of 22.4%.
The loss of 627 students in one year is the equivalent of one traditionally-sized middle school building.In Fiscal 2012 area schools enrolled 29,030 students, down from 29,657 in FY2011. In Fiscal 2001 the same school districts enrolled 36,135 students.
Brewster, Orleans and Truro saw modest increases, while the Sturgis Charter Public School reported at 52.54% increase due to the opening of the Sturgis East campus. Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School remained stable with its enrollment of 228 students.
Provincetown's enrollment drop is likely due to the phasing out of Provincetown High School and elementary students attending Truro Central School under school choice.
Chatham's merger into the Monomoy Regional School District comes as the town schools saw an enrollment drop of 8.10% from 691 to 635 students. The "other half" of the Monomoy Region – Harwich – saw a modest drop of 1.43%, falling to 1,314 students from last year's 1,333.
The highest percentage enrollment declines from 2001 to 2012 were observed in Provincetown (69.88%), Dennis-Yarmouth (29.84%) and Brewster (28.12%).
The smart will survive
The loss of 627 students in one year is the equivalent of one traditionally-sized middle school building.
To update the closing words of our October 26, 2011 story about declining enrollments… the region's school districts are now trying to feed at a trough that has almost 20% less food that it contained in 2001. This means that some school districts will go hungry. Others will starve.
Academic excellence, strong school choice marketing and smart leadership will determine which school districts will remain viable as the pool of students continues to dry up.

I don't know what I should feel today. I haven't technically gotten up yet, so maybe it's too early to know for sure. A year ago, I thought a day wouldn't pass without tears. I was right, for a while. But there have been many days I didn't cry, although not a single day I didn't think about how things should be different.
Oh Taylor, do you know how loved you were from the moment you were conceived? Do you know how radically you changed our lives? And although I've doubted almost everything about my life over the last year, I never doubted you or my love for you. I'd have gladly traded whatever was asked of me for you to be born, go to school, have your first kiss, celebrate your 90th birthday. I don't know why I never got to hold you, but I'll never accept any answer other than because life's not fair. You are forever etched on my heart. Always know that no matter how much time passes, no matter what happens to me from this day forward, that will never change. And as life goes on, the world will forget, but I will never forget you. I love you.

Lymphomas (Non-Hodgkin's)
DescriptionAn in-depth report on the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of lymphomas.
Staging and Treatment Guidelines
General Approach for Treating Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is highly specific for each patient and is determined by the classification and includes the following factors:
Treatment for lymphomas has been primarily dependent on chemotherapy (particularly intensive regimens using several drugs) or a combination of chemotherapy and radiation. For advanced or refractory lymphomas and for relapse, patients may undergo bone marrow or stem cell transplantation. New treatments, especially those known as immunotherapies, or biological response modifier (BRM) therapies, are showing promise. Some experts recommend that patients ask their physicians about getting into well-designed clinical trials as early as possible.
Assessing Treatment Success
In assessing the success of a clinical trial, experts often refer to the tumor response. A complete response, for example, means that there is no longer any evidence at all of the disease by examination, blood tests, or X-ray studies. It does not necessarily mean, however, that the disease is cured. It may still recur later on.
In judging the success of a treatment for NHL, the most important criteria are overall survival and the duration of time until the disease progresses or the patient dies.
Early Stage Lymphomas (Stage I and Stage II)
In Stage I, lymphoma is found in only one lymph node area or in only one area or organ outside the lymph nodes. Either of the following indicates stage II: lymphoma is found in two or more lymph node areas on the same side of the diaphragm; or lymphoma is found in only one area or organ outside the lymph nodes and in the lymph nodes around it. Other lymph node areas on the same side of the diaphragm may also have lymphoma.
Early Stage Indolent (Low-Grade) Lymphoma. General treatment options. 1. Radiation therapy to local areas can achieve a cure in 40% to 50% of patients. 2. Chemotherapy or watchful waiting in some circumstances. (Patients who choose watchful waiting must be aware of signs and conditions indicating the need for treatment. These include B symptoms, endangered organs, massive bulky tumors, or a steady progression that lasts at least six months.) 3. Investigative treatments: conjugated and unconjugated monoclonal antibodies; radiation plus chemotherapy (in one study, combined modality was more effective than radiation alone).
The following are treatment options for some specific low-grade lymphomas:
Early Stage Aggressive (Intermediate- to High-Grade) Lymphomas. Treatment options 1. Chemotherapy alone. 2. Combinations of chemotherapy (usually CHOP) plus radiation therapy (combined modality). 3. Radiation alone (rarely). 4. Chemotherapy alone or with surgery for lymphoma in the gastrointestinal region. 5. Clinical trial of immunotherapies (e.g., rituximab) with or without chemotherapy (usually CHOP). 6. A clinical trial of high dose chemotherapy and bone marrow or stem cell transplantation. (It is not yet clear if there is an advantage to these treatments over high-dose chemotherapy.)
Advanced Stage Lymphomas (Stage III and IV)
In stage III, lymphoma is found in lymph node areas on both sides of the diaphragm (for instance, in both the chest and the abdomen). The lymphoma may also have spread to the spleen. In stage IV, lymphoma has spread via the bloodstream to organs outside the lymph system, such as the bone marrow or brain. Lymphoma cells may or may not be in the lymph nodes near these organs.
Advanced Stage Indolent (Low-Grade Lymphomas). Treatment options: Treatment options are controversial because of the low-cure rate and yet slow-growing nature of these lymphomas. Patients without symptoms are often managed by watchful waiting, in which the disease is monitored closely for development of symptoms or bulky tumor masses, particularly if they threaten major organs. At such times, treatment is started. 1. Chemotherapy combinations (CHOP, CVP, C[M]OPP). 2. Nucleoside analogs (e.g., fludarabine) alone or with chemotherapy. 3. Oral alkylating chemotherapy agents (e.g., cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil) with or without steroids. 4. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) (.e.g., rituximab) alone or in combinations with CHOP or nucleoside analogs. 5. Chemotherapy (e.g., CHOP) with interferon. 6. Clinical trials: Intensive chemotherapy and radiation followed by bone marrow or stem cell transplantation; antisense RNA.
Advanced Stage Aggressive (Intermediate- to High-Grade) Lymphomas. Treatment options. 1. Doxorubicin-based combination chemotherapy (e.g., CHOP) with or without rituximab. 2. Chemotherapy plus radiation therapy. 3. Clinical trials for patients at high risk for relapse: intensive chemotherapy; high dose chemotherapy and bone marrow or stem cell transplantation; immunotherapies (e.g., various monoclonal antibodies) with or without chemotherapy (e.g., CHOP).4. Treatments to prevent disease from spreading to central nervous system in high-risk patients.
Relapsed or Refractory (Nonresponsive to Treatment) Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Indolent-Lymphomas Relapses. Nearly all patients with indolent lymphomas relapse after initial treatment, with duration of remissions after a first treatment averaging 18 to 50 months. Successful retreatment is often possible, but disease-free periods become increasingly shorter with each subsequent treatment.
Treatment options: Older patients may choose watchful waiting. 1. Radiation alone or with chemotherapy. In one study low-dose involved-field radiotherapy was very effective in recurring indolent lymphoma. 2. Chemotherapy (single agents of combinations). 3. High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplant. 4. Clinical trials, including monoclonal antibodies, radioimmunotherapy, nucleoside analogues alone or in combination with other agents, stem cell transplantation followed by biologic therapies.
Aggressive Lymphomas Relapse. After initial treatment, more than half patients with aggressive lymphomas are cured, while about 20% progress and the other 30% relapse after a disease-free period. Among those who relapse, many can still be cured with aggressive treatments.
Treatment options: 1. Bone marrow or peripheral stem cell transplantation. 2. Clinical trials: continuous infusion chemotherapy, biologic therapies (monoclonal antibodies) alone or in combination with transplantation; bone marrow transplantation with radiation.
Preventing and Treating Lymphomas in the Central Nervous System
Treating Lymphoma Restricted to the Central Nervous System. Treatment options: 1. High-dose methotrexate regimens alone or in combination with radiation. Note: a 2002 major trial indicates that the combination improves survival although it is very toxic. 2. Corticosteroids and radiation. 3. Clinical trials: biologic therapies, e.g., rituximab or interferon alpha administered directly into the spinal fluid (intrathecal administration) for meningitis related to central nervous system lymphoma.
Preventing (Prophylactic Treatment) Lymphomas in High-Risk Patients. Treatment to prevent the spread of NHL to the central nervous system may be appropriate in some patients. It is not recommended for patients with low-grade NHL. Preventive treatment may be appropriate for certain patients with high-grade NHL, such as those with lymphoblastic and Burkitt's lymphoma or if they have four or five of the following risk factors: elevated levels in the blood of the enzyme acetate dehydrogenase and albumin (a common protein), being older than 60, and having lymph nodes beyond the peritoneum (the lining of the abdomen) and involvement of more than one site outside a lymph node.

Sir Thomas Byard commanded the ship-of-the-line HMS Bedford in the Battle of Camperdown on 11 October 1797.
(DE-55: dp. 1,300; 1. 306'; b. 36'9"; dr. 10'9"; s. 24 k.; cpl. 200; a. 3 3", 2 40mm., 8 20mm., 4 dcp., 1 dcp. (hh.), 2 dct.; cl. Buckley)
Donaldson (DE-55) was laid down on 15 October 1942 at Hingham, Mass., by the Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard; but was allocated to the United Kingdom under lend-lease before being launched on 6 March 1943. Her American name was canceled and reassigned first to DE-508, then finally to DE-44. The ship was turned over to the Royal Navy on 18 June 1943 and commissioned as HMS Byard (K.315). Byard earned her "battle honors" during World War II for service in the North Atlantic during 1943 and 1944, but enjoys the distinction of being the first "Captain"-class frigate (as the British called the lend lease destroyer escorts) to destroy a German U-boat, accomplishing this feat on 17 October 1943 when she sank U-841. Returned to the United States on 12 December 1945, the warship was carried on the United States Navy list as DE-55 until struck on 7 February 1946. Sold initially to the Atlas Steel and Supply Co., Cleveland, Ohio, on 5 November 1946, she was twice resold: first to the Kulka Steel and Equipment Co., of Alliance, Ohio, on 8 December 1946, and then to the Bristol Engineering Co., Somerset, Mass., on an unspecified date. She was ultimately scrapped.

Quote of the Day: Daniel Radcliffe on Lana Del Ray
By Mike Berlin
"It was unfortunate that people seemed to turn on her so quickly. If you read what people are saying about her online, it's all about her past and her family and stuff that's nobody else's business ... I don't think [the performance] warranted anywhere near that reaction."

You love him on stage and you love the other on the pitch. But when Prabhu Deva- King of Dancers on stage invites cricketer Virat Kohli to shake a leg with him on stage, you know it'll be a brilliant combination.
The two apparently bonded famously over an ad shoot they had to be at together at Bangkok. During the shoot, which was for a shoe brand, the actor-turned-director asked Virat, who is seen as the chocolate boy of cricket and ads, to dance to some complicated moves, the latter was reluctant, but soon got into the groove. The two had such good fun hanging out and working together that the idea of making a movie emerged soon.
If sources are to be believed, Virat's pretty open to the idea. Considering his fan following and the response he gets to the products he endorses, watching Kohli on-screen doesn't seem to be a bad idea.
With three projects already in the pipeline for Prabhu Deva along with the launch of Kumar Taurani's son Girish opposite Shruti Haasan, it looks like Virat will have to wait for a bit should any plans be confirmed.
Can't help but add- we're looking forward to see the start cricketer on screen!

Secure Servers: Package Building With EnGarde Secure Linux
Submitted by secureguardian (Contact Author) (Forums) on Tue, 2007-10-09 17:00. :: Linux | Other
Secure Servers: Package Building With EnGarde Secure Linux
Contributors: Eckie Silapaswang and William Keys from Guardian Digital
Although EnGarde Secure Linux does not include a development environment "out of the box," all of the tools to set one up are available via the Guardian Digital Secure Network. The purpose of this document is to provide you, the software developer, with the instructions to set up a package building environment of your own. After building the environment, we will walk you through building a package for the popular object oriented programming language, Ruby.
Setting Up Your Environment
What you'll need:
Once you have all of the above you may log in as root, transition over to sysadm_r, and disable SELinux:
[root@engarde ~]# newrole -r sysadm_r
[root@engarde ~]# setenforce 0
Next you must install the following packages:
[root@engarde ~]# apt-get update
[root@engarde ~]# apt-get install rpm-build rpm-devel autoconf automake
gcc gcc-c++ make patch binutils glibc-devel kernel-headers
At this point you have most of the core development package installed. As you build packages which link against other packages, you'll most definitely have to install other -devel packages. You may install the packages via WebTool or the command-line using apt-get.
[root@engarde ~]# echo "rpm-src gdsn://updates.guardiandigital.com/GDSNROOT rapier core" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
Then run apt-get update:
[root@engarde ~]# apt-get update
[root@engarde ~]# apt-get source ruby
At this point the package sources are installed in /usr/src/engarde/SOURCES, and the spec file is in /usr/src/engarde/SPECS:
Install the required packages shown above using apt-get:
[root@engarde ~]# apt-get install readline readline-devel ncurses ncurses-devel gdbm gdbm-devel glibc-devel autoconf gcc unzip groff bison openssl-devel zlib-devel db4-devel libtermcap-devel
From here you should check the architecture of your environment. Go to the /usr/include directory and note the 'asm' symbolic links:
[root@xen8 include]# cd /usr/include
[root@xen8 include]# rm asm
To build the package, use rpmbuild (this step may take a while):
[root@engarde SPECS]# rpmbuild -ba ruby.spec
Of course, we'd like to build the latest possible package for Ruby. At the time of this article, the latest version of Ruby is 1.8.6.
[root@xen8 SOURCES]# wget ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.6.tar.gz
Change to the spec file directory and edit the ruby.spec file with your favorite text editor.
Release: 1
We then change the Ruby version from 1.8.4 to 1.8.6:
%doc %{name}-%{version}/ToDo
This should be enough to build the source. One last thing you should do for all your hard work is to credit yourself for putting together this package - go to the end of the spec file and add yourself in:
[root@engarde SPECS]# rpmbuild -ba ruby.spec
Great work! You've just built an updated package for the latest version of Ruby!

Simply Speaking: Is Obama qualified?
When those of the Left start screaming and squealing about this, that, or the other, you can begin placing your bets there's more than even odds somebody with chutzpah and credibility is genuinely on to the this, that, or the other being screamed and squealed about.
Such is the continuing case about whether or not Barack H. Obama is and was constitutionally qualified to have run and, consequently, elected President of the United States.
Author Jerome Corsi, WorldNetDaily, and any number of other credible sources, along with citizens of America challenging about this question, in court, have been met with disdain by those of the Left, including too many members of the Establishment who seemingly think everything is legal and would inquiring minds please shut up.
If there is nothing to this legality question, why has Obama employed a cadre of high-dollar lawyers to conceal all the avenues of truth that would easily reveal the answers to our growing number of questions about this strange "president" and his America-hating wife?
Where there's smoke, there's fire, as we so recently saw in the Magnablend Chemical Plant smoke and fire in Waxahachie.
Even Obama's kindergarten records have been off limits to question, it has been reported. This obviously has nothing to do with whether the little tyke was continually trying to put square pegs in round holes or if he had trouble telling the difference between a picture of a cat and a picture of a dog, but must have had to do with something like his kindergarten enrollment forms. Might he have been identified there as someone who could never qualify to be President of the United States?
That would not have been a question on his mom's mind when Barack was five-years-old and starting in preschool. Those questions would have arisen when he and his handlers [it would be interesting to know just who all those people are (who)] got ambitious for the big chair in the Oval Office and who had been able put in the fix to get Obama seated there.
A most interesting development is the discovery of Supreme Court rulings on eligibility for the office of President being scrubbed from Justia.com EVEN BEFORE OBAMA GOT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY NOMINATION.
The fix actually must have already been in before his nomination and swearing in. Check WorldNetDaily.com for details.
May God bless.

2. Many on the left AND right AND middle disdain birthers because they push claims for which they have NO evidence AND ignore FACTS that refute their beliefs AND repeat their refuted claims ad nauseum. For example, see your claim about Obama's team of concealment lawyers... props for not lying about how much he's spent on those lawyers though!
3. Birthers created the smoke... they can't point to the smoke they created and claim it's proof of fire... unless the fire is that birthers are crazy.
4. Even if the entire Justia website was replaced with Mao's little red book, it wouldn't change US case law AT ALL or stop lawyers from accessing that case law since they use REAL legal research tools, not Justia. The fact that US case law doesn't contain ANYTHING showing Obama isn't eligible makes that "scrubbing" even more meaningless.

Pentagon reports mixed progress
Published By United Press International
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- A U.S. Pentagon report on Afghanistan, while showing mixed progress toward security and stability, says the area along the Pakistani border remains a hot zone.
"Pakistani-based sanctuary for insurgents, such as the Haqqani Taliban Network in North Waziristan, as well as the financial and operational support that insurgents receive from various sources" keeps the security situation volatile along the border with Pakistan, said the report presented to the U.S. Congress.
It said while enemy attacks have declined slightly, eastern Afghanistan accounted for almost a third of all insurgent attacks throughout the country.
"The Taliban-led insurgency remains adaptive and determined, and retains the capability to emplace substantial numbers of (improvised explosive devices) and to conduct isolated high-profile attacks," the report said. "The insurgency also retains a significant regenerative capacity."
With the coalition and Afghan forces eroding their efforts, the Taliban insurgents have increasingly resorted to asymmetric tactics to regain territory and influence. Those tactics include assassinations, kidnappings, intimidation tactics, encouraging insider attacks and strategic messaging campaigns, said the report, which must be submitted to Congress two times a year.
The report said the coalition surge has accomplished its mission in that Taliban and al-Qaida insurgents have lost capability and the number of attacks is down.
While Pakistan remains a problem, the report said there is some progress.
"The insurgency and al-Qaida continue to face U.S. counter-terrorism pressure within the safe havens. U.S. relations with Pakistan have begun to improve following the re-opening of Pakistani ground lines of communication, and there has been nascent improvement with respect to cross-border cooperation between Pakistan and Afghanistan."
U.S. and coalition forces are scheduled to end their operations by the end of 2014 with Afghan National Security Forces to take over security thereafter. The report said the ANSF has dramatically increased its capabilities.
"The areas of the country influenced by the insurgents and the ability of the insurgency to attack the population have been significantly diminished," the report said.
The New York Times said the Pentagon report found widespread corruption continues to weaken the central Afghan government and insider attacks by Afghan security forces on their NATO coalition partners are up, with 37 reported so far in 2012.
The Times said the report also found Afghan security forces are continuing to lead most routine patrols throughout the country, and there has been a decline in violence in populated areas such as Kabul and Kandahar.

Zach Galifianakis Dressed Up Like Ernest Hemingway's Doppelgänger
An LA Times portrait of comedic actor Zach Galifianakis bears a striking resemblance to a famous Yousuf Karsh photograph of Ernest Hemingway.
Follow this link to see the photo. When asked about the resemblance, Galifianakis replied: "To Mariel Hemingway, maybe. Not the other one." In the tweet posted above, writer Edward Champion already predicts Galifianakis could play Hemingway in a movie.
He has plenty of competition. Last summer, Charles Bicht was crowned as the "29th Papa" in the Hemingway Look-Alike Contest. This annual event pits bearded men in a competition celebrating the Nobel Prize winner.
