My research focusses opon the mechanism of action of
anticancer drugs that act through causing damage to DNA. A particularly significant aspect of these activities has been to develop and apply methods that permit analysis of drug action in patients undergoing therapy. There is very little information of this nature available because appropriate techniques have not been available.
Having gradutaed in Botany, I pursued a PhD in microbial genetics. This was followed by a post-doc in which I developed methods for the study of ageing in the nematode C.elegans, including initiation and maintanence of age synchrony. An interest in morphogenesis took me to a post-doc post in the Max-Planck Institute (Tuebingen) working on bacterial morphogenesis. Several years working on effects of ionising radiation at the Institute for Cancer Research (London) developed into my current long-standing research interest of the mechanism of action of DNA damaging anti-cancer drugs.
I played a major role in the design and construction phase of the Paul O'Gorman Building as the persaon responsible for detailed co-ordination of user requirements with the design team of architects, consultant engineers and constructors. I now retain an ongoing responsibility for overseeing certain key equipment installations.

The mechanism of action of anticancer drugs that act through causing damage to DNA.
These drugs play a very important role in many current chemotherapy protocols. Little is understood about why treatment of some patients / tumours is successful while others show varying extents of treatment failure. A priori it is clear that differences in responses of individual tumours and different tumour types to treatment can result from variation in:
1. The extent of drug-DNA access,
2. The nature/location of drug-induced DNA modifications.
3. The ways that tumour cells respond to the damage.
In general, factors 1 and 2 have received relatively little attention. My work has focussed on the quantification of drug-DNA modifications, on the nature of the modifications and, more recently, on the distribution of the modifications in the genome.
A particular goal has been to study the drug-DNA interactions that occur in actual clinical tissues and this has entailed the development of a number of techniques for the quantification of clinically relevant levels of DNA modification. Such levels are very low (e.g. 1 modified base per million bases) and therefore challenging to quantify.
Techniques that we have developed include the creation and application of monoclonal antibodies that specifically recognise certain types of drug-induced DNA modifications.
Novel immunological techniques developed include:
1. Sensitive immunoassays for drug-DNA adducts based on
monoclonal antibodies.
2. The TARDIS method for quantification of DNA modifications
in individual cells using sensitive fluorescence microscopy.
3. Analysis of drug-induced modifications on immobilised DNA fragments.
Platinum-based drugs
Several very important anti-cancer drugs are derivatives of platinum. We are collaborating with geochemists at Durham (the group of Dr. DG Pearson) who have expertise in the analysis of trace quantities of platinum in geological samples. The mass spectrometric techniques that they employ provide new highly sensitive ways to detect small quantities of drug-modified sites on DNA and establishing this collaboration has dramatically extended the methodolg and possibilities for investiagtions of these drugs at the molecular level.
In addition to the contuing importance of DNA-inerative drugs in their own right, these agents are the focus of much current interest in relation to combining them with newer drugs which have been developed to either (a). specifically modulate the cells ability to repair or respond to the DNA damage, or (b). to affect tumour growth in other ways. In both cases it is important to understand how best to combine the two classes of drug and to monitor the effects of new drug combinations at the molecular level in clinical trials. Achieveing these goals requires an understanding of basic mechanisms and the availbility of techniques to permit appropriate clinical studies.
Low light level immunofluorescence microscopy and image analysis.
Development of sensitive immunoassays.
Chromatographic and immunological techniques for analysis of DNA modifications.
Radiobiology – radiation dosimetry etc.
1. Characterisation of new classes of DNA modifications induced in cells by platinum-based drugs.
2. Analysis of levels of DNA modifications formed in biopsies of human solid tumours removed during therapy.
(Virtulally no information is available about the levels of DNA modification in tumour tissues that are actually achieved during therapy. The way that cells respond to damage will depend very much on the magnitude of these levels and it is clear that much current research is based on damage levels far above the realms of clinical reality).
3. The combination of DNA damaging agents with newer targetted drugs that modulate cell response to damage.
To determine whether DNA damage is formed and / or repaired to different extents in different major regions of the human genome.

These are a few tools that I have made or modified over the years. Perhaps these will give some of the newer folks some ideas and help.
These trammels are made from common hardware store items. and are good for any radius that you can find the 3/8" tube. Working on sq. tube? that radius corner is a pain to hold a combination sq. on...no more. 1/2 clamps come in real handy for a lot of things. 1 small tack is all you need to hold them on. Wedges, 7's and dogs, they can and will move mountains. Not sure of the name for the long nuts, but used mainly for hanging pipe. They are great for pulling, pushing or just holding parts. Here again, a small tack is all that's needed. JoeJ |

I forgot the link, in case someone wants to put together a set of the trammels. Here you go, have fun... JoeJ |

Thanks JoeJ, I think that I could use some of those half clamps, may try to make some, magnetic welders blocks come in handy at times too. When you say a light tack, are you talking about just holding something long enough to tack it lightly, or are you talking about lightly tacking the clamp onto something ? Probably sounds like dumb question to you, since you already know what you mean, but it is not clear to me. Do you have a couple of pictures to demonstrate what you are talking about? Something that I observed at a welding shop, where they are pretty danged good, while waiting to talk to one of the owners was: One man had a triangle piece of about quarter inch plate or thicker, about two and a half feet long on the base side, that he was going to weld onto a retangular piece laying flat on the workbench. He sat it in place on the flat piece standing up at a right angle, lined it up where he wanted it, grabbed a mig welder and tacked it on each end just enough to hold it upright, got a square, and bent it over a little to a correct right angle then finished his weld with an arc welder. I was impressed, thought that it beat the heck out of the way I would have tried to do it by aligning to 90* and blocking and proping etc. Bill P. |

JoeJ: Rod couplings are what you are thinking of. The way you show them with a bolt in one end, makes for a good setter for Hilti stud anchors in Unistrut or other recessed channels and such. I usually lock the bolt in place with a nut before I use them for this purpose. They work real well for the 1/4 inch anchors especially, since it reduces the chance of hitting the anchor with a glancing blow and bending it over before you get it driven down to depth. GG |
Thanks GG, Never used them for that. But I sure like the Hilti studs!! GoneFishing, And don't ruin good clamps to make them!!! hehehehe, in time you will ruin a few anyway. I used to tack 4 sides of stainless tanks together before squaring it up. As long as the pieces were sheared right it never was a problem. Joe |

Your car is built to last and your tires should also keep turning as long as they can. While you may keep your car for many years, your tires will need to be replaced over time. It's important to check your tires regularly for worn treads, holes or cracks in the sidewall. Sears can help you find the best replacement car tires for your vehicle.
It's crucial to keep your car regularly maintained in order to maximize its lifespan. Tasks like checking the oil, brakes and engine are just as important as checking the tires so you don't overlook replacing them at the right time. You should always do routine maintenance to your car tires by checking the tire pressure, rotating them and inspecting the depth of the treads to make sure that you're driving with the safest tires possible. If they aren't regularly rotated or filled with the right amount of air, they can wear out unevenly. This causes a dip in fuel economy or performance and leaves your tires susceptible to blowout.
Driving and safety go hand-in-hand. You want to make sure that you're always as safe as you can be when you're on the road. The quality of your passenger tires can affect braking, turning and driving on slick surfaces. In the winter, you want to make sure that you have solid treads for the best grip on icy, snow-filled streets. Many models can help protect your wheels from incurring unnecessary damage from the elements. Once passenger or minivan tires start wearing down or you find bubbles in the sidewall, it's time to get a new set.
Replacing your car tires is a necessity if the treads are too worn down or their sidewalls are on the verge of a blowout. When you replace a single tire or all four, it's important that you find the best ones for your car. Different models offer a variety of features, whether you're looking at the shape and size of treads, the size of the wheels or the durability of the tire. You can even find seasonal designs, including summer and winter tires that work well in specific weather conditions.
When it's time to find the right types of passenger or minivan tires, you want ones that are reliable. Sears carries top of the line brands like Goodyear, Cooper and Michelin for almost any vehicle make or model. Shop today for the best selection of car tires so you can keep driving safely, no matter where the road takes you.

Faith groups strike a blow against Keystone XL
Religious leaders and activists made an important impact on yesterday's Democratic primary in Massachusetts for Secretary of State John Kerry's Senate seat.
There was one major difference between candidates Rep. Stephen Lynch and Rep. Ed Markey – Lynch initially favored construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, and Markey steadfastly opposed it.
In case you're just joining us, the debate over the Keystone XL Pipeline has global consequences. If the pipeline is completed, vast Canadian reserves of dirty tar sands oil will hit the international market at a time when we need to be drastically reducing our use of fossil fuels in order to curb the most catastrophic effects of the climate change crisis. And that's to say nothing of the inevitable toxic spills that will happen along the route from northern Alberta to the Gulf of Mexico.
Lynch's early support for this disastrous project sparked a strong response from local and national faith leaders. The evangelical-led Good Steward Campaign joined forces with Catholics United, Sojourners, American Values Network, Interfaith Power and Light, 350.org and local nuns and activists to organize opposition, gather tens of thousands of petition signatures and publicly speak out against the pipeline. Lynch (who ultimately lost anyway) subsequently walked back his support for this environmentally catastrophic pipeline.
Keystone in particular, and climate in general, are flying somewhat under the radar right now but will take center stage sooner or later. The fact that faith leaders are gearing up and speaking out now bodes well as the debate goes forward.

Nett comes from an athletic line. His grandfather, John Nett Sr., coached basketball at Cotter High School for 38 years, taking his team to a state championship in 1977. Andy and his father, John Nett Jr., also of Winona, have competed together in the Minnesota Handball Championships as a father-son doubles team for several years. They've won the last three years in a row.
Andy learned the game from his father when he was eight years old. The two would play together at the Winona YMCA along with the few other handball players in the area.
Andy showed prowess in the sport right away, winning the Junior National Tournament when he was 11 and again at 13. Handball took a backseat to team sports during middle school, high school, and college; Andy played football, baseball, and basketball for WHS and started as quarterback at WSU.
Now Andy has made handball his focus again, with great success. In the three years since seriously returning to the game, he has won the State Championship for singles, toured the country playing tournaments, and earned an 8th overall ranking from the World Players of Handball.
Andy hasn't been corrupted by fame, though.
"A lot of times, when you tell people you play handball, they don't know what you're talking about," Andy said. Handball is essentially racquetball without the racquets. It's a fast-paced game of skill and agility, but relatively unpopular in the U.S. Handball is big in Ireland, though. "It's almost their national sport," Andy said.
"I've given up talking about handball to people who don't understand it," said John Jr. "It's an enjoyable game and the people in the handball world understand what's it's about."
Andy Nett hadn't played with Luis Moreno before their National Championship victory. "We've actually never lost together," Nett joked. They had faced each other as opponents before, and this year Moreno asked Nett to play doubles with him for the national championship.
Despite their lack of experience as teammates, Nett said, "Our game fit together really well." Normally, it helps to have played a lot with your doubles partner, Nett admitted, but when he jumped in with Moreno, "it was natural and effortless."
When told he must be a good handball player too, to have won the state doubles championship, John Nett Jr. laughed, "Andy and I have played together since he was a young kid, but he's certainly the dominant player now."
Winning the national championship was great, and "not something I had in mind for myself when I started playing handball," Andy said. The free trip to Ireland was wonderful, too, he said.

How to Apply
The OHSU PA Program participates in the Central Application Service for Physician Assistants (CASPA).
The application fee is based upon the number of programs to which an applicant applies. Please refer to CASPA for information on fees and waivers.
For questions about completing the online CASPA application, assistance can be provided by emailing email@example.com
Please send official transcripts directly to CASPA. Transcripts should only be sent to CASPA; there is no need to also send them to OHSU. However, if you matriculate into the OHSU PA Program, official transcripts will be requested at that time. In the meantime, send official transcripts to CASPA at the following address:
CASPA Application Center, PO Box 9108, Watertown, MA 02471
The application cycle for 2015-16 will open in mid-April 2015. The deadline for 2015-16 will move to September 1, 2015.
Early applications are encouraged. The PA Program utilizes rolling admissions with interviews beginning in September and continuing through early January. The Program will not completely fill the available seats until all candidates who qualify for an interview have been met. Selections will occur monthly throughout the interview season of September through January. Final selections to fill remaining seats will occur in late January/early February.
The GRE General Test is required for 2015-16 admissions. The official score report must be received at CASPA, identified with institution code 4780, on or before the 09/01/15 deadline to be considered for the entering class of 2016. Score reports for tests taken within the past 5 years are acceptable. Applicants with scores older than 5 years will need to retake the GRE. Please refer to the GRE web page link on the right for additional information regarding the GRE. The PA Program's GRE institution code is 4780 and department code of 0634 or 0699 or 5199 (any department code will work as long as the institution code is correct).
How can I confirm OHSU has received my official GRE scores? Applicants will be able to confirm score receipt through their application on the CASPA applicant portal. Your applicant portal will show the date official scores were posted for OHSU's 4780 institutional code. If your portal shows official scores were received, then OHSU has your scores and there's no need to re-confirm. Also, OHSU will email applicants when their application has been received by the program, as well as a follow up email to confirm receipt of official GRE scores and supplemental application.
Can other standardized tests be substituted for the GRE? No. MCAT, GMAT, and MAT tests cannot substitute for the GRE requirement.
Is the GRE still required if I already have a master's degree? Yes. All applicants to the OHSU PA program must submit official test scores for the GRE regardless of their previous academic work .
In addition to the official score receipt, does OHSU require applicants to self-report GRE scores on the CASPA application? No. OHSU only utilizes the official scores, so self-reporting scores in CASPA is not needed. However, be sure to have official scores sent to OHSU's code 4780.
After the Program has received the completed application from CASPA, including official GRE scores, and supplemental application, an initial file review will be conducted.

As our cops are shamed by cover-ups and corruption, we ask: can we ever trust them?
BRITISH police once set the standard as the world's first and most respected defenders of law and order — brave, unarmed bobbies standing up to the forces of evil.
Today, in what amounts to a national crisis of confidence, they look less like the long arm of the law and more like an organised conspiracy against the people they are meant to protect.

Are you looking for year-round deep-shade plants for zone 9B? Or winter annuals? |
- Posted by gardenbysarasota none (My Page) on Thu, Nov 22, 12 at 20:02
It really doesn't matter, but it is an area where there's room for small plants near the carport. I'm not afraid to try different things. Thanks |
I'm sure this is probably wrong, but the old school impatiens seem to do well for me. Not the Sunpatiens with the purplish leaves, but the old green leafed ones. |
Oh, you mentioned frost as well. Not sure impatiens are right for that. I usually don't get frost in my shady areas. They are either covered overhead so they don't frost, or they're next to the concrete house so they don't frost. |
- Posted by gardenbysarasota none (My Page) on Fri, Nov 23, 12 at 6:58
I might try your idea of impatiens. Sometimes when we get a real cold snap the frost gets them, but I have a lot of sheets that could be used to cover them. Anyone else with some more ideas would also help. Thanks for the suggestion |
Given where you live you need responses from Anna and Hester, hopefully they'll be along soon.... Tom |

How about variegated cast iron plant? The color in the leaves make it showy. They could be put in back of the impatients |

I like the idea of a variegated cast iron plant. I have a green leaf one in a container that has always done well in deep shade and would love to try a variegated one. Thanks. Also I have a fern in the ground in another spot that I could try to take pieces of. Also, today I went to a garden center and got a snapdragon, some new wave pansies and an aztec grass which should hopefully turn out good. Thanks for all the suggestions |

Hi fellow Sarasotan.. Sorry to be late to your thread.... I have a deep shade garden which is full of bromiliads, yellow walking iris, dracenas, crotons (do surprisingly well in shade,) ruellia repens, pencil cactus, spathylium,ferns, among other things. Also loads of cane begonias for color.They are always in bloom. Since it is not easy to find flowers for shade (and I don't use impatiens as they will freeze easily), I concentrate on textures Seems to work. I would post some pics but I don't have the patience today to figure out the new photobucket!(If you want to go back to some of my old posts, you'll see some pics) I don't cover anything in this area as it is protected by trees and so far, all has been well. Hope this is helpful! Hester |
- Posted by gardenbysarasota none (My Page) on Sat, Dec 1, 12 at 2:54
Thanks for the info. Sorry it took so long to reply. I decided for some temporary color and for hardiness to get snapdragons, new wave pansies and in a spot with a little sunlight an aztec grass. The aztec grass may make interest because of the variegated spider plants that look similar. I'll have to try the ferns. I have one type in a container that gets some morning sun and another type in the ground in part sun that i could try to relocate some of them to the deep shade. Thanks for the help. |

AC/DC devotees from all over the globe will descend upon London's legendary HMV Hammersmith Apollo for the exclusive world premiere of AC/DC Live At River Plate on Friday May 6, 2011. Shot entirely in HD with 32 cameras, fans will experience the thunderous excitement and intensity of AC/DC Live At River Plate on the UK's largest movie screen (roughly the equivalent of 4 double decker buses stacked). AC/DC Live At River Plate definitively chronicles the band's massive Black Ice World Tour and the history of one of rock music's best live acts. - 25 March 2011
- 21 March 201110 March 2011
AC/DC Live At River Plate, a definitive live concert DVD documenting AC/DC's massive Black Ice World Tour, will be available for purchase on Tuesday May 10, 2011. Shot in December of 2009, AC/DC Live At River Plate marks AC/DC's triumphant return to Buenos Aires where nearly 200,000 fans, and 3 sold-out shows, welcomed the band back after a 13 year absence from Argentina. This stunning live footage of AC/DC underscores what Argentina's Pagina 12 newspaper reported by saying "no one is on the same level when it comes to pure and clear Rock 'n Roll." Directed by David Mallet and produced by Rocky Oldham, AC/DC Live At River Plate was shot with 32 cameras entirely in HD. AC/DC Live At River Plate features 19 songs (110 minutes) as well as 'behind the scenes' footage of this massive production coming together among the excitement of anxious fans.
AC/DC Live At River Plate will be available on DVD, Blu-Ray and Ltd Edition collector's edition with exclusive t-shirt. Additionally the DVD contains a bonus feature titled "The Fan, The Roadie, The Guitar Tech & The Meat," features interviews with AC/DC, their crew and fans among the excitement of the shows and the city of Buenos Aires.
AC/DC Live At River Plate captures the intensity and power of the band's critically acclaimed world tour in support of their most recent album Black Ice, which debuted at #1 in 31 countries. The Black Ice World tour took AC/DC on a 20 month trek around the globe playing to over 5 million fans in 108 cities in over 28 countries.

Brian stated "late last year we were talking about race series I could do. Australian V8 Supercars came up and I'd love to have a shot in one of them.""It's going to be quite a year. My season will start in Florida, where I live, and with a bit of luck it could end up in a V8 supercar Down Under."
"I love the atmosphere with an audience in our rock concerts. Translate that audience to the race track. It would be amazing. I've tried Nascar at Indianapolis. That gets your arse twitching like a rabbit's nose. I just loved it. Like Nascar, V8 Supercars have a lot of power there and all the cars are pretty equal so that's what makes it so exciting to watch""And with the band's standing in Australia, it's nice to know there might be a few people who might come along to see it."

High-cost home puts mentally ill client in shelter
While charging his parents thousands of dollars for services and care, Normandy Park treatment provider Hanbleceya left Justin DeVille at a Pioneer Square homeless shelter because he hadn't followed the strict rules at a group home.
Seattle Times staff reporter

For weeks in the spring, Justin DeVille, a 27-year-old mentally ill man from Atlanta, wandered the Seattle streets, trying to find food and a safe place to stay. Homeless, hungry and exhausted, DeVille sometimes slept at a shelter. Other times, he crashed under an abandoned house for the night or huddled in makeshift cardboard hovels.
His parents, back in Georgia, believed their son was being cared for at a suburban Seattle group home for the mentally ill. They believed he was getting psychotherapy, one-on-one support and other treatment, for which the DeVilles were paying more than $25,000.
To their dismay, they said, they later learned that staffers at the for-profit home, Hanbleceya, had dropped off Justin at a Pioneer Square homeless shelter several times because he hadn't followed rules at the group home.
Not only was their son neglected, Roman and Diane DeVille said, but they paid thousands of dollars for services and care that weren't provided by Hanbleceya.
"They are charlatans and worse than that," said Roman DeVille, a lawyer. "They didn't give a damn if Justin was alive or dead. It's a miracle he didn't kill himself or kill someone else."
About eight months ago, Hanbleceya, a company based in La Mesa, Calif., quietly opened a treatment clinic in Normandy Park. It also bought three nearby homes, rented two others, and filled them with clients suffering from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, drug addiction or other illnesses. Hanbleceya, whose name means "quest for vision," charges up to $100,000 a year for a room and treatment.
Since then, the company has come under fire by residents of the small, middle- to upper-income suburb south of Seattle. They accuse the company of deceiving neighbors about its plans, providing inadequate care and avoiding government oversight.
With new information about the company, the state Department of Health (DOH) opened an investigation in early August to determine if Hanbleceya is operating an unlicensed residential treatment facility.
Because Hanbleceya provides treatment at a clinic, not inside the homes, it says the homes aren't residential treatment facilities, which are licensed and regulated by the DOH. Currently, Hanbleceya isn't regulated by any state or federal agency.
Asked about Justin DeVille, psychologist Ian Wolds, Hanbleceya's clinical director, said he couldn't discuss any specific client. In rare cases, Wolds said, clients voluntarily agree to be sent to homeless shelters, hospitals and sober-living homes, but that Hanbleceya doesn't lock them out of the group homes.
"If a person is vulnerable and needing a high level of care, we try to provide that level of care. The person has a choice if they want to go along with that," he said.
Ron Honberg, the director for policy and legal affairs for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, said he's wary of companies like Hanbleceya because there's no way to independently determine if they provide quality care. "It's for-profit, the folks are guarded in sharing information, and there's no licensure — that's a prescription for real problems," he said.
There has been a proliferation across the country of a new breed of unregulated boarding homes that provide long-term mental-health treatment, Honberg said. These homes often are operated by staffers who have little training or education in mental health, he said.
Lack of oversight can lead to neglect and abuse, even death. Last month in San Antonio, four mentally ill men died in a fire at an unregulated group home.
Years earlier, Texas officials had evidence the owner neglected residents and violated several health and safety codes at the home, according to the San Antonio Express-News.
But in 2010, Texas eliminated any licensing requirements for these types of group homes. In the wake of last month's deadly fire, San Antonio officials are expected to pass laws in October regulating the homes.
Vulnerable young man
As a toddler, Justin had special needs, his father said. As a teenager with attention deficit disorder and other problems, he attended special private schools that provided personalized instruction and support.
As a young adult, he was given a dual diagnosis of bipolar disorder and substance abuse "with schizophrenic influences." He needed a residential-treatment facility that could monitor his medications, teach him life skills and help him psychologically.
He and his parents thought Hanbleceya was that place — especially after it offered Justin a "high performers scholarship" that entitled him to 50 percent off the cost of treatment and rent at one of its new homes in the Seattle suburb. But they needed to act fast to lock in the award that promised to save them $43,000 a year, Roman DeVille recalled being told.
In late January, he sent Hanbleceya $4,414 for the first month of services and $4,200 for a clinical assessment of his son. On Feb. 13, when Justin arrived in Seattle, Hanbleceya managing partner Kerry Paulson said the company needed an additional $9,000, Roman DeVille said.
"He wanted me to wire it before Justin was to set foot in the facility," the lawyer said. "At that point I was still a father, and I had a son I loved, and I had the money and sent it."
In a recent interview, Justin said he struggled with Hanbleceya's rigid environment and rules. After an outburst, staffers considered him to be a threat. Without warning, they suspended him from the program, he said. That meant no psychological services and no place to live in a strange city.
They dropped him off at Bread of Life, a Seattle homeless shelter in Pioneer Square where he secured a temporary bed. He said he had almost no money, no identification and no cellphone.
While drifting on the streets, he discovered charitable organizations that handed out free food like peanut-butter sandwiches.
Each morning a Hanbleceya staffer met Justin in front of Bread of Life and handed him medication.
With temperatures dipping into the low 30s, Justin, with only sandals and the clothes on his back, said he asked a staffer for more of his clothing. He said he was refused.
"One night after a panic attack I found a spot under an abandoned house that had sleeping bags there," Justin said. "I became increasingly unstable."
He called his parents and left messages, pleading for help. But they did not respond.
According to their contract with Hanbleceya, the DeVilles were prohibited from any contact with Justin for the first 45 days of treatment. If they broke the rule, they faced the financial penalty of losing the scholarship, and Justin could be kicked out immediately, according to the agreement.
Roman DeVille said Hanbleceya notified him that Justin was at the shelter as part of a tough-love program. "They tell me ... parents have to step aside. It's probably the parents' fault, we have coddled them all along," he said. "Interference amounts in loss of scholarship."
Wolds said the no-contact rule helps individuals adjust to treatment and prevents parents from enabling them.
After Justin was homeless for about a week and begging to return, he said Hanbleceya readmitted him after he completed his assignment: writing a letter of apology.
The next month and a half of his life in the Seattle area is still fuzzy for Justin, who said he was overmedicated, tired and agitated. At one point he faked a suicide attempt by tying string around his neck to get attention, he said. In all, he recalled being suspended and dropped off at Bread of Life several times and twice being sent to Overlake Hospital Medical Center in Bellevue.
Despite Hanbleceya's written agreement to immediately notify financially responsible parties of a loved one's suspension from housing or treatment, the DeVilles say they were kept in the dark about how long Justin was homeless and that he'd been hospitalized once for a week.
Justin estimates he was homeless or in the hospital for about 40 of the 73 days he was enrolled at Hanbleceya.
"Justin chose to leave the facility because he was not willing to appropriately participate in the program and furthermore his behavior put other clients at risk," Paulson, the Hanbleceya managing partner, wrote in an email to Justin's parents after their son returned to Atlanta. "We attempted to get him to a safe shelter so he could start working on his assignments to get back into Hanbleceya housing but he refused (and by the way, on numerous occasions)."
Paulson also wrote that Justin threatened an employee who was trying to get him to follow the rules.
The DeVilles provided the emails to The Seattle Times. Paulson declined to comment.
Honberg, of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, said Hanbleceya's methods can pose serious dangers for clients.
"Kicking people out should be the last resort," Honberg said. "That kind of approach flies in the face of anything I've heard over the years for appropriate and acceptable practice."
After Justin and his parents finally connected, Justin said his scholarship was revoked and he left the program April 26. He is living with his parents in Atlanta, attending college and getting psychological treatment.
The DeVilles said a large part of the $25,000 they paid Hanbleceya went for services like one-on-one support, food, rent and individual therapy that their son didn't receive because he was homeless or at the hospital. When they asked for a detailed accounting of services and a partial refund, they said, Hanbleceya declined to provide either.
Ex-employee's view
Justin DeVille's experience was not unusual, according to a former Hanbleceya staffer at its La Mesa operation, which has nine homes and a clinic.
"They punish people by throwing them out on the streets" if they don't follow the rules, said Colleen Madden, who graduated from Boston College with a bachelor's degree in psychology in 2010. "Once every few weeks they would kick someone out. One was a 20-year-old female, and I thought it was ridiculous."
Madden worked for Hanbleceya from August 2011 until February. Among her duties was delivering medication to clients who had been suspended and essentially were homeless.
"Some went to halfway houses, some slept on the ground and under a bridge," she said. "It was shocking to me. You don't hear about this in the field of psychology."
She said few staff members were trained to handle psychotic episodes, and one untrained employee was fired for giving the wrong medication to a client.
Madden also is concerned that Hanbleceya employs a convicted sex offender as a house manager who deals with clients daily. Danielle Lacey, a former teacher, admitted in 2006 to having sex with a 16-year-old student multiple times and supplying him with cocaine and alcohol. Lacey was hired in 2011 by Hanbleceya in La Mesa, while she still was on probation for four felony convictions.
She declined to comment. Wolds wouldn't comment about any employees.
Madden was shocked when told that Hanbleceya charged clients as much as $32.50 an hour for one-on-one services. She said she earned only $12 an hour providing that type of care and other services.
Madden said she was fired in February because, against company policy, she allowed a client with a staph infection who was sent to the hospital to call her parents.
New state investigation
After The Times published a July 29 story about citizens' concerns with the Normandy Park group homes and the state Department of Health received other information about Hanbleceya, the agency opened a second investigation into the company.
In June, in response to a city complaint, the agency had investigated the company by merely looking at its website and talking on the phone to a low-level employee, then determined Hanbleceya didn't need to be licensed.
Tim Church, DOH spokesman, wouldn't provide details about the current investigation. Wolds said he met with two investigators who also toured one of the homes.
In a letter to DOH, which the DeVilles provided to a reporter, they complained that Wolds had given their son inadequate care. The DOH referred their complaint to the Examining Board of Psychology, which is investigating. DOH received another complaint about Wolds on Sept. 10.
The Department of Social and Health Services also continues its own investigation to determine if Hanbleceya is an adult family home that falls under its jurisdiction.
If both agencies determine they have no authority over Hanbleceya, the city of Normandy Park plans to ask state lawmakers to pursue legislation to require licensing and monitoring of places like Hanbleceya.
Normandy Park Cares, a citizens group, is challenging the city's administrative decision that allows Hanbleceya to operate group homes for the mentally ill in residential areas.
An examiner will conduct a hearing to determine if the city's zoning should be modified. A date has yet to be set.

I am a Frigidaire fan to begin with. This is my first washer from them, and don't know what took me so long to buy. I love it. I am not sure why some reviews say the clothes are not clean. I never have this problem. My lid was a little loose at first but had it fixed and no major issues. I do wish it stood straight a little more. It is a bit on the noisy side when it gets going with a full load but we have a room that is shut off so that does not cause a problem. I couldn't be happier, I have had this washer for a little over 6 months and love it just as much when it was new. I have 2 small children and a husband that farms so we KNOW how to get dirty!

After we lost our washer and dryer in Katrina we made do with hand-me-downs but when that washer died we went shopping for appliances we'd hoped would last the rest of our lives. (We're old) Just shoot me now for choosing the Frigidaire Affinity. Since it was delivered on August 20th one repairman has been here 6 times and twice brought a second repairman with him to figure the problem out. Our very first load screeched like a banshee and did not instill confidence, Repairman came and checked it out electronically and couldn't find anything wrong. After he left we found one of the plastic leveling feet had broken off. He brought another one and in the process of installing it found another broken foot. All of this time the lid was malfunctioning. It would not stay up by itself so I could put the clothes and washing supplies in it. It must have slammed on my head 10 times. (I'm a slow learner.) Finally, I called the dealer we bought it from and he offered to replace it with another brand new washer. When the new washer arrived THAT lid wouldn't stay up either! Called the store back and they sent the repairman again. He told us that the lid failure was a known issue to Frigidaire and that we'd need a new hinge thingy. That took at least 10 days to get to the repair man. He installed it and guess what? That didn't work either. We now keep the lid open with a small bungee cord attached to a shelf above the washer. A load just finished as I was typing this and we heard a loud PING! I just can't wait to see what that will be. Save yourself a lot of trouble and don't buy Frigidaire Affinity!

Doesn't get clothes clean
By Kathy

Comments about Frigidaire Affinity 3.4 Cu Ft White High Efficiency Top Load Washer:
I HATE this washer. It does not get my clothes clean. I have tried everything they have recommended and nothing has made a difference. If you have children or work outdoors, this washer is not for you. If I could get my 20 year old washer back I would in a heartbeat.

By col3man
It looks sort of dorky, although the clear top is kind of cool. I haven't been able to get the washer to work since it was delivered so I can't really give a fair description on the quality of its performance, but seeing that we had two separate repairman out to just get it operational seems to say something about it's overall performance.

Hit or Miss
By tawannab76
I don't if it's the washer, or the delivery guys that assembled the unit, the 2 digit numeric display is unreadable. Also, some of the features do not work. For example, wrinkle free. Also, on average a load is around 58-65 minutes. In addition to that, often I find myself rewashing the same load because it does not appear to be clean. Last but not least, can never tell if or when the unit is filling with water.
Great purchase

Love it! Cleans thoroughly no problems! Only difference, the wash cycles are longer. That is why I rated it 4 stars.

Needed a new washer and this is what my husband came home with. Not the best, but it washes small loads ok.
Awesome machine
By Amber
I love my washer it works rather well
Worst Washer ever!
By Sharon
Worst ever; does not agitate enough; slowly swishes back and forth. Clothes do not get clean, comes out in the exact same pile that went in (same item on top). Don't waste your money.

The waterfall washing is a total joke
By Amanda
The waterfall washing is a total joke. How can you make your laundry clean by simply flushing water onto them? I observed closely how this machine works. Basically it only pours water onto the laundry, no any wave generated to apply enough force and power to make them clean. However you load the laundry, however they come out. If some cloth you put in folded, the machine never bother to unfold it. So you expect the machine make anything clean for you? Give me a break!

J. Newton Rayzor Hall
J. Newton Rayzor Hall houses the computer science and electrical engineering departments and boasts 37,616 square feet. Being built between 4th and 5th Place east of the Allen Chapman Activity Center, the two-story gothic-inspired structure blends seamlessly with the campus' existing architectural design. The building has tower entrances at the southeast and northwest corners with dramatic vestibules leading into the building.
Rayzor Hall includes 24 integrated classrooms and teaching/research laboratories, 33 faculty and graduate student offices, two conference rooms, and five student commons areas with a student organizations office. J. Newton Rayzor Hall will be a welcome move for the computer science and electrical engineering departments, which have critically outgrown their current space in Keplinger Hall.
Evelyn Rayzor Nienhuis made the lead gift for Rayzor Hall in memory of her father, who was an accomplished attorney and businessman. His lifelong passion for higher education was demonstrated through his generous gifts to several institutions. Honoring his example, Evelyn and her late husband, Lester Nienhuis, have a long history of supporting TU, and Rayzor Hall will be a lasting symbol of their leadership and generosity to the university.
Construction began in 2010 and was completed in fall 2011.

After drowning in legalese and enough litigation to qualify me to be an extra on Law and Order last offseasn during the lockout, I learned something. Actually, I learned several things, but mostly this: as much as us writer folk are captivated by every ounce of minutiae emerging from a courtroom that's making a decision tied to the NFL, fans only care if it has a legitimate, long-term impact.
Welp, sports fans, this is one of those times when you should care. A lot.
Part of the ongoing hurry up and wait feel that's continually stalled the Drew Brees contract negotiations in New Orleans was a question about the language in the CBA regarding the use of franchise tags. It's always been known that a player can only be tagged three times, but Brees sought clarification from arbitrator Stephen Burbank as to whether or not that meant three times throughout his career, or three times with one team.
The former answer was widely expected, and that's the one Burbank delivered today, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen. The result of this gut punch to the Saints is that with Brees franchised this year and also tagged earlier in his career with the Chargers, he can only be tagged one more time. Also, if he's franchised again next spring then Brees is entitled to a 144 percent raise, meaning he'd be paid a rather monstrous salary of $23.6 million for the 2013 season, a sizable raise from his tag value of $16.4 million this year.
As far as Brees is concerned, this likely–and hopefully…really, really hopefully–won't matter. The Saints are still engaged in a somewhat confusing standoff with their franchise QB that's mostly really just the standard posturing seen in any contract negotiation. While the rising level of angst among the often only semi-clothed Who Dat Nation is understandable, this is still a deadline-oriented business, and the likelihood that a long-term deal is completed prior to the July 16 deadline to sign franchise tenders still remains high.
However, this decision gives Brees much more leverage since he can now make over $40 million over the next two years through the franchise tag. It also puts added pressure on the Saints to reach a long-term agreement this summer since they've now lost the ability to secure their most important player beyond next year, when Brees will still be just 34 years old.
But beyond Brees and New Orleans, Burbank's ruling sets a favorable precedent for the league's most elite players, and especially at quarterback, a position where the top tier players often still thrive and play at a high level into their late 30s. Young arms filled with tremendous upside and potential (think Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, and Robert Griffin III) now know that they can have their payday dictated to them by their team only three times throughout careers that often last over 15 years.
To retain those elite, franchise players, teams may now be more conservative with their use of the tag, and more open to long-term deals. And the players know it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The wristwatch (also called a "watch") is a small clock that is attached to a person's wrist with a strap. Watches display the time and sometimes the day, date, month and year. In 1524, Peter Henlein created the first pocket watch. Before the 1900s, most watches were pocket watches which were carried in a pocket and attached to a chain.
Before the 1970s, all watches had a numbered dial with a rotating hour hand and a longer minute hand. Since the 1970s, digital watches have been available. Digital watches have small computers inside to keep the time. Instead of having a dial and hands, a digital watch shows the time as a number (e.g., 10:30 AM).

I have around 10 sweet banana peppers that are all around 4 1/2 to 5 inches long. They look even bigger than the ones in the grocery, so I'm wondering if it's time to pick. They are a very light green to a light yellowish color.
When can I pick them? |

Any time you want to. They are good any time. If you want to let them get red on the plant, they may be a little sweeter, but will probably decrease production of the plants from letting them get fully ripe on the plant. I would suggest that you sample some at various sizes to see what your preference is and pick accordingly. |

The pain is always there. It's bad when he sits down and worse when he stands up and worst of all when he lies down. During the days, he oscillates back and forth between perching stiffly on the couch and awkwardly pacing the floor. During the nights, he passes sleepless hours stretching and contorting his body this way and that, looking for a comfortable position that doesn't exist. None of the painkillers make any difference, not even the T3s they gave him for his shoulder, which are usually enough to chase any ache for a couple of hours. Nothing drives away this pain, though. It's always there.
A hamstring pull, the doctor says, but he's not sure. Like so many pains, it doesn't conform exactly to the textbook definition, doesn't seem to start exactly where it ought to, doesn't respond exactly the way you'd think. He's tried pills and he's tried massages and he's tried exercises and now he's trying electro-acupuncture, long needles buzzing deep in the tissue, trying to tense or release something twisted far beneath the layers of skin and fat and muscle. It's close to the bone, this pain, dug way down into the nerves. He hopes it's nothing more than a pull.
Whatever the cause, the doctor is sure of one thing: no hockey. Absolutely no hockey. Not until it's better. When will it be better? The doctor doesn't know. One day at a time. One treatment at a time. No sooner than mid-January. Possibly later.
To his ears, mid-January might as well be mid-forever. This is the season of hockey. Even in Toronto, there are only a precious few months of the year when ice is so cheap and plentiful. Healthy, he would be playing two, three, maybe even four times a week. Outside on long winter nights with beer on the bench and snowflakes sparking against the sky, inside old arenas that smell like fetid sweat and harsh cleansers, sometimes even under the venerable old beams of Maple Leaf Gardens. For a quarter of the year, maybe a little more, a person can find as much hockey as they have time to fill. That quarter is half-gone now, and he hasn't even been to the outdoor rinks. During those long, restless nights, squeezing his burning leg, he fears he'll never get there.
I had to retire, his uncle says, somewhere in between the turkey and the pie, when a holiday dinner fragments into desultory conversations between long-distant relations. My hip, it's done. Just can't take anymore. The room is full of men who used to play and can't any longer. He gets up, stretches the muscle, winces visibly, and looking around, sees his future.
We give some time over to grief for the injuries that end professional careers. Not much- we're always more interested in the people who can play than those who can't- but some. We mourn, perfunctorily, the post-concussion symptoms and seized-up knees of our NHL heroes, but one doesn't see a lot of lamentation for the injuries that do in ordinary players. Obviously, rightly perhaps. Ordinary players aren't good, and anyway, it's not like hockey is their livelihood. It's not feeding their children or putting the roof over their heads. But really, that last loss- the loss not of a career but the loss of the ability to play altogether- is both more universal and sadder than any simple retirement. It comes to the great players and the crappy alike, and seldom with a conference or an ovation. The last time an ordinary person plays hockey, they probably don't even realize it's the last time, and when the revelation comes, it comes in solitude and silence, with only a distracted spouse or sympathetic friend to bear witness. It's done. I just can't take anymore.
This mystery pull probably won't be the injury that ends hockey for him. There have been others before- a broken foot, tendonitis in an elbow, dozens of different sprains- and all of them eventually passed. This too shall pass, he knows, he hopes. He's not old. His capacity for healing is hardly exhausted. Enough pins, enough jolts, enough time, and he'll be on the ice again. Next season, if not this one.
But maybe, now, for the first time, he understands that the number of next seasons is finite. They can be counted, hopefully not on his fingers and toes but probably on both of ours put together. Over the course of a lifetime, the pain only goes one way. Up. More. The injuries mass and swarm, grow in number, intensity, and duration. No one is stronger or faster at forty than they were at twenty, and save a few especially sickly infants, no one gets healthier with time. His body, right now, is falling apart. One day something will hurt and the doctor won't say sprain, pull. They'll say arthritis, surgery. The only question is how long the process will take.
Eventually, someday, it will be too much.
There will come a day of no more hockey.
That day comes to everyone, and it's terrifying, the way only things that contain a taste of mortality can be terrifying. Because what is our ever-increasing physical decrepitude but evidence of death creeping into our bodies? We read our end not in the passage of time itself, but in the irrevocable loss of our ability to do things. I can't touch my toes anymore. I can't sit on the floor with the kids. I can't play. All of these little losses foreshadow the great loss, when we will lie, useless and inert, unable to do anything ever again.
On Christmas Eve, we go to church. We light candles in the dark and sing hymns about the immortal soul and the eternal kingdom. We give thanks for deliverance from pain and victory over death, but just as sure as he feels his leg screaming on the hard wooden pews, we know that death is still coming. Whatever redemption faith offers, it is something distant and airy, something far away beyond our measuring or reckoning. Wherever our souls go, our bodies will do nothing but dissolve into the ground.
What is eternal life without a body? Our bodies are the things that live. We experience what we call "living" through them. What is it to be alive while taking up no space? What is a life without breath, without warmth, without motion? Is it even worthy of the name? Is it even worth having?
Lots of philosophers in lots of armchairs have written lots of words about why humans have sports, probably because there are lots of reasons for the phenomenon. One of the best is that, other than sex, they offer the greatest joy you can possibly take in having a living body. Baseball, rugby, tennis, bowling, pick your poison- the glory of them is the rush of physical being. And hockey, especially, is a suck-the-marrow-out-of-life game. It's immediate and visceral. It takes place in the fractions of seconds between shots and saves, in the fractions of milliseconds between perception and reaction. Of all the sports, it sits at the highest apex of pure physicality, played so fast that it often transcends conscious thought, analysis, and intention. It is where we test the utmost limit of what a body can do, and marvel at the results. You are never more fully your body than in the middle of a puck battle. But any game will leave you just a little bit more alive than you would have been if you'd never played.
The moment we give up our games, we take an enormous step closer to the grave.
I don't know anything about bloodless world to come, where it is or what it's like or if it even exists. I've heard a lot of stories and a lot of theories, but death is like infinity: impossible to understand and impossible to see beyond. But this much I know: this world is beautiful. This mucky, messy, crazy place we live is nothing more or less than a great collection of minor miracles, not least of which are the arc of a ball through the air, the smell of grass churned up by cleats, the layered hissing and growling of ten pairs of skates on a sheet of clean ice. Air ripping out of lungs and sweat pouring down backs and muscles running hot with urgency, blood welling up purple under the skin. There are lots of ways to be alive, but none so easy, lucky, or free as playing. A world that gives us such opportunities to be is a world with no need of heaven.
Except that our time in it is not nearly long enough.
Use your body. Before it's gone.

Technical textile for flexible structures
Designing resilient structures is Musthane®'s core area of expertise. Our engineering department, in addition to its know-how in mechanical design, builds projects incorporating design based on composite and flexible materials.
This unique and highly-reputed know-how is recognised via an original and innovative approach created by Musthane: Design to Flexibility®.
This means that design is made with the permanent objective of incorporating flexible and resilient materials.
Design to Flexibility® is based on the use of rubber or plastic coated fabrics and technical textiles. Technical textiles are chosen from very high quality sources and with a very demanding technical specification which stems directly from the mechanical resistances required to match the customer requirements. The technical textiles are then coated with high quality polymers.
In some applications technical textiles are not used and the products are designed with the use of elastomer or plastomer films.
This approach, which lies at the heart of our engineering team's expertise, is valued in many industries – nuclear power, defence, preservation of the environment.
Most of the critical steps in the manufcturing of the technical textile coated fabrics are under the controle of our Group.

Are you looking for a safe and efficient way to those unwelcome pounds to get rid of? Millions of people are looking for exactly the same. Unfortunately, many diets are not healthy. The diet that you choose would have to promote healthy eating habits in order to get in a healthy way to get rid of the pounds. A healthy diet is a diet that the following six properties:
Healthy Eating
Choose a diet that your daily calorie consumption in a responsible way back screw without nutrients (koolydraten, fats) to omit. Make sure that the diet of all foods containing the food pyramid.
Physical exercise
The importance of physical activity is often underestimated. A good diet will do at least 30 minutes of exercise a day recommend and is at least 5 days per week.
Medical support
Talk before you start a diet, certainly agree with your doctor. If you follow a diet that severely limited consumption of calories or a diet with meal replacements, is always accompanied by a dietitian is recommended.
Eating habits
Making changes to your eating habits is often the key to lasting weight loss. Learn to recognize the triggers that make you eat on.
Slow but steady weight loss
A slow but steady weight loss diet that aims is most efficient. If you are a highly restrictive calorie diet with rapid weight loss, you will when you stop dieting suffer from the so-called yo-yo effect. When you resume a normal diet adopts those calories your body will look like extras and accumulate as fat in your body.
Plan for after the diet
Every good diet should also come up with a plan for what to do after your diet. With diets that do not, the risk that the pounds back flying much higher.

Hi pic, I saw your post, and wondered also just what you might have. If the flowers are similar to any of the ones at the link below, then what you have are Peonies. Peonies typically bloom in late May here, and are usually in colors of white, or varying shades of pink or red. There are other colors though also. Blooms range from single to fully double blooms. Some are very fragrant, and others have no noticeable fragrance. If what you have are actually peonies, you might add the color if it is known. Sue |

In 2005, the SA Department of the Premier and Cabinet was granted $2.1 million by the AERF (as FARE was then) to develop and implement a framework to assist the South Australian Community to deliver public health interventions and prevention mechanisms, primarily targeting indigenous youth in regional and metropolitan areas.
Two projects were implemented as part of the grant funding including the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yunkinytjatjara (APY) Lands Arts Celebrating Healthy Communities initiative and the Wiltanendi: Becoming Stronger Program in the metropolitan area.
The Carclew Youth Arts Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yunkunytjatjara (APY) Lands Demonstration Project ("APY Lands Demonstration Project" from here on) ran from 2006 to 2008. It aimed to address drug diversion and other life domain outcomes by providing a youth arts program that engaged with communities and delivered serious training in music, visual art, filmmaking and dance to young people.
The original aim of the Wiltanendi Demonstration Project was to trial a new model of case management for young Aboriginal people who engage in at-risk behaviour through poly and injecting drug use. The model of case management was identified as Assertive Community Case Management and Wiltanendi has developed a specialised approach involving the application of two strategies—the Targeted Approach and the Universal Approach. The Targeted Approach involves the use of an Assertive Case Management Approach, in which Case Managers and Mentors are situated in the community and work with clients to facilitate and to work through any issues and problems. This is coupled with the Universal Approach which involves the development of partnerships and activities to provide broader opportunities for these young people to engage, which would lead to drug use reduction.
The Wiltanendi Demonstration Project has grown and changed in the 4 years since it commenced. Initially the structure focused on providing the Assertive Case Management with some supporting activities and partnerships, whereas it now operates with a smaller focus on Case Management and a greater emphasis on education in the newly created Wiltanendi Paiendi educational sites. This change has been reflected in the change of fundamental referral criteria to the project—from young Aboriginal people with drug or alcohol issues to young Aboriginal people who have drug or alcohol issues and are significantly disengaged from education.
The context and background for properly understanding these key findings are given in the body of the Evaluation Report. The 12 Theme headings will act as your guide to find out more. In short form, the key findings were:
