[23] Immunohistochemistry and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization for INI1 in Proximal Type Epithelioid Sarcoma and Malignant Extrarenal Rhabdoid Tumor.
Armita Bahrami, Susana Raimondi, Andrew Folpe. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, TN; Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
Background: INI1 is a tumor suppressor gene whose protein expression is known to be lost almost exclusively in certain tumors: epithelioid sarcomas (ES), malignant extrarenal rhabdoid tumors (MERT), and true rhabdoid tumors of central nervous system (ATRT) and kidney. Proximal-type ES (PTES) is a variant of ES with rhabdoid morphology, predilection for proximal extremities and more aggressive behavior than classical ES. Considerable debate exists as to whether PTES and MERT represent the same or different entities, and whether their frequency of INI1 abnormalities differs. We examined INI1 alteration and INI1 protein loss in a group of such tumors with the goal of identifying distinct clinicopathologic characteristics between those with and without INI1 aberrations.
Design: 8 cases previously coded as PTES, MERT, or ATRT were retrieved. All were immunostained for CK (OSCAR) and INI1, and a subset for CD34. FISH was conducted on FFPE tumor sections in all cases using a laboratory-developed dual-color probe containing INI1 [CTD-2511E13+CTD-2034E7](22q11.2) and PANX2 [RPCI3-402G11](22q13.33) as control.
Results: Table 1 summarizes the clinical, immunohistochemical and FISH findings. Although all cases showed loss of INI1 expression by immunohistochemistry, FISH analysis showed only 2 cases with INI1 deletion, 1 heterozygous and 1 homozygous. The ATRT was aneuploid for chromosome 22. There were no clinicopathologic features that distinguished cases with and without INI1 deletion.
Conclusions: The rare finding of homozygous INI1 deletion/mutation in our series supports the contention that other mechanisms, most likely through epigenetics and post-translational modifications, are responsible for suppression/inactivation of INI1 gene production in most such cases. Although our sample size is too small to draw a definitive conclusion, our initial findings do not suggest any specific clinicopathologic features unique to INI1 altered cases compared with those with only protein loss. The incidence of INI1 alteration and its value as a reliable indicator for stratification of such cases into prognostically relevant categories should be evaluated in larger studies with clinical outcome data.

How to Make Small Eyes Look Bigger
The following is a guest post from our friends at The Beauty Department.
If your eyes are on the smaller side, one way to make them look bigger is to make the whole eye area bigger—literally. Probably the best way to do it is with feathery lashes that come out from all directions in a sort of criss-crossing way. It makes lashes look full and sort of dynamic, but more importantly, it'll make eyes look larger in proportion to the rest of your face, too. And it's actually pretty easy to do.
For the complete step-by-step guide to criss-crossing your lashes, please visit TheBeautyDepartment.com.

Blog update! I've updated the pages to the right with permanent links to my internship portfolio and my old Ringling admissions portfolio. It's that time of year again for the Ringling prospectives, so I'm thinking I'll update the portfolio in the next few days with some explanation on my choices, and tips for planning your own portfolio.
Also, I wanna give a quick shot-out to my homey (and roommate) Yezi who's also got some concept art up, as well as photos of our annual Mandatory Fun Time outings!
The senior class load is a little lighter than previous years, with only nine required credits. To stay full-time, I needed another class. Rather than taking another liberal arts course (my last degree was in liberal arts, I have a ton of those credits), I decided I wanted a class that would benefit my spring portfolio and my future career. So I got with one of the CA teachers and constructed an Independent Study course in story and visual development.
The class is organized into three-week-long story development assignments. I'm onto my second assignment – all about vespas and motorcycles. I noticed as I was gathering reference photos, and in discussing the idea with my teacher on Tuesday, just how into it I was. I was coming up with really strong ideas for all the characters – including the vehicles, who are characters as well. I was getting a sense of their personalities and their motivations without much effort. I was eager to start exploring their designs, to come up with ways to show character through the design, to tie everything together in one cohesive visual style. I was so excited about getting started.
Not so with my first assignment. That story had been a struggle. The concept was a criminal who enters a church for the first time. There was only one character, and he was bland, without much appeal, IMO. Even when I sat down and tried to devise an interesting design, I just couldn't come up with anything unique.
Designing the church was even worse. I've never been very good with environments, or how to make them interesting. My teacher and I agreed that my final image just didn't carry the story as well as my exploratory sketches did.
Well, I knew exactly why the second assignment seemed more appealing. It was all about the characters. It was totally a character piece, driven by interaction, by relationships. That was the whole story; and that's what I like to focus on in my work. But hey, the first story had a character too, so why wasn't I as excited about him as I am about vespas and motorcyles?
And that's when it hit me. Because the criminal story wasn't just about the criminal. There was another character I completely left out.
The church.
Okay, so I've heard this idea before. Environments and props need to show personality in their designs, too. I always think about it when I'm designing, but sometimes it takes a while for a concept to really sink in. This was totally an environment piece – but the environment was a character. Much like Notre Dame served as a character in Victor Hugo's Hunchback of Notre Dame. And it's the idea of what this church is, and what it is to the criminal, that I wasn't pushing in my final piece.
I'll need to revisit the piece later before I call the assignment complete. I've got some new reference pieces that I think will help me capture the moment. But for now, it's on to vespas and motorcycles.

What Trends Will Make Your Business More Profitable? With Exclusive Commentary From Leslie Lyon of Spas2b Inc.
Posted: February 1, 2012
page 2 of 3
4. Eco-cycology. This involves brands taking back their products and recycling them responsibly. I have clients who take back empty jars and packaging, and recycle them for their clients; they put their tea bags and towelettes into compost; but what about joining an organization such as the Global Soap Project, who recover discarded soap from hotels and reprocess them into new bars for worldwide distribution to vulnerable populations?
5. Cash-less. Forego your credit card and pay for purchases by waving or tapping your smartphone onto the electronic reader. And when you subscribe to Google Wallet, it also allows you to redeem coupons, get sales promos and loyalty points. Although this may be an initiative for larger spas to get involved in, it's all about technology and now you don't just need to get online, you need to get onboard. High-tech spaing ... isn't that an oxymoron?
6. Bottom of the Urban Pyramid (BOUP). Your ability to cater to the low-income consumer holds unprecedented opportunities this year. BOUP consumers have materialistic and aesthetic desires too. The Indian government is subsidizing tablet computers; ATMs are finding ways to make services available to illiterate populations; and PepsiCo is test-marketing smart-food to BOUP consumers in India. Spas have been doing no-frills, advantage pricing and online discount sites for awhile now, but are you marketing those deals to the BOUP consumer?
7. Idle sourcing. Crowd-based problem-solving will continue to shake up business processes and force innovation, but idle-sourcing is making it even less difficult for consumers to contribute. With this trend, the consumer voluntarily signs up to allow Company A to capture automated real-time data through their smartphone, within Company A's specific areas of need. One example is Company A detecting street bumps and pot holes through smartphone sensors. Not sure where spas fit into this one, unless you have treatment beds that detect back or neck discomfort, or heating blankets that beep when they cause hot flashes beyond what might be normally acceptable in a woman my age!
8. Flawsome. Brands that behave more humanly, including showing their flaws, will be awesome! Profit and personality can be compatible. Spas haven't always been great at flaunting their Flawsome; in fact, some would say over-promising with minimal flexibility in response to disappointment has made them nonflawsome; anti-flawsome; no-can-do-flawsome ... you get my drift. So this trend is timely for spas. Working with the ever-present risk of disappointment, it's just good judgment to show generosity and humility when faced with your flaws.

Kevin Brooks, chief marketing officer of FoodLink, Los Gatos, Calif., says the company has been busy with creating and enhancing products specifically for grower-shippers.
"We acquired TrueTrac in the fall of last year with the specific idea we'd be doing an awful lot more like this for suppliers," Brooks said.
Traditionally, the company has done more for the retail side of the business, offering solutions for perishable product purchasing, but now they are working to expand the product set they offer for suppliers, according to Brooks.
"We've been working on this for some time and now those products are coming to fruition. We are trying to extend value to the user by enhancing these products," he said.
One recent victory for the company was the honor of its FoodLink Item software being named the best new food safety solution by members and attendees of the United Fresh Produce Association's annual convention and expo in May in San Diego.
"We were thrilled to win this award," Brooks said.
FoodLink Item provides item-specific traceability for fresh produce. It's a cloud-based system that is designed to give users more value back from their traceability investments. It is now being used by major brands such as California Giant Berry Farms and Grower's Express, Brooks said.
The software system adds information specific to individually packaged produce items the moment they are picked, which allows growers to communicate more information to consumers than was possible before.
Consumers, retailers and growers can scan a unique bar code on each package with a smartphone or tablet in order to find information specific to that item, not just the case or the pallet.
"It's a dynamic association between the product's origin and its packaging," Brooks said.
"It includes not only where it came from, but also where it traveled and all that other data. Then customers can decide how much of that data they want to share with consumers through the scanning process," Brooks said.
Warehouse management
Another new system available from FoodLink takes this kind of technology further.
"We saw there were a lot of inventory issues that come into play between a product being picked and when it goes in the cooler," Brooks said.
In addition, though growers are willing to take whatever precautions necessary to comply with PTI requirements, some growers were asking if they could get more functionality out of the products.

Simon vs. Simon
By Derek de Koff
What liberties were taken in turning the book into a comedy series?
One of the biggest differences between the book and the series is that they updated the show and cast it in the nineties. I think that was a smart decision because most of the action in the book takes place during the '50s and '60s. The show is going to resonate more with '90s iconography. Instead of Dusty Springfield, you get the Spice Girls. They wanted to play with more current cultural references.
Like the Simon character in the film, were you actually prone to critiquing your teacher's wardrobe choices...?
Yes. One of my earliest memories was being completely focused on style and enjoying that my mom was done up like Betty Grable. I remember one Christmas she gave me a blue and gray checkered scarf and said, 'Look what Santa bought you!' and I said, 'I don't like it -- you can have it. Santa's taste is a bit dodgy.' Later that day, she went in to get all her teeth pulled out. She came back with that scarf around her head. When she'd sneeze, her dentures would fly out. Post-war England was so dismal; I think they wisely shifted gears into the 90s'
You were so lucky to have a gay best friend when you were young.
Well, I realized while writing the book that having a gay best friend is everything: it's having a co-conspirator. If you're in a hostile environment, and you can't find a gay best friend' you kind of need to move, right? If you've got a co-conspirator' Even if it's 'Ratzo' Rizzo, a co-conspirator is what everybody in this world needs.
Are you going to make a cameo appearance?
Believe me, I would be there in a hot second but no one's asked. I think when they updated the show, I emailed them and said, 'If you want me to come over when you do the launch, I will.' They said, 'It's entirely up to you.' If I were cast in the show, people would assume I was the kid's grandma.
Any upcoming projects?
I'm actually working on a book, which is kind of a retail memoir, because I've always lived in retail. Some English newspaper reporter said to me, 'I don't get it -- you're a writer but you still work in a store?' I said, 'Listen, madam: maybe if Virginia Woolf had done a few hours at the Saks make-up counter, she wouldn't have killed herself.' I realized how much being in retail has informed my sense of seeing the world; I have thirty-five years of anecdotes and gruesome embarrassments' so I'm playing around with a retail memoir, and my column for the New York Observer, and my boyfriend Jonathan Adler and I travel a lot. I'm not having a sex change if that's what you're thinking. I wouldn't make a good girl -- my legs are too chunky.
What aspect of the series resonates with you most?
Well, it's a bit of a Dorothy story. Many gay people think they have to find that intoxicating mirage of glamour on the horizon. That mesmerizes gay people -- and then, when you get there, you see that some of it is groovy and some of it is not. It's all about finding out who the beautiful people in your life actually are.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Wade Anthony Sotelo was born in Alexandria, La., at the Air Force Base Hospital on Feb. 28, 1959, to Sandra and Anthony Sotelo. Wade passed away Aug. 22, 2003, at his home in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Wade's childhood was spent in Albert Lea, Minn., and Roundup, where most of his relatives lived. Wade loved dogs … and he loved hiking in the Bull Mountains and swimming and floating down the Musselshell River. As a young boy, Wade looked up to his step-dad, Ronnie Radke, who took him and his sisters and brother in as if they were his own children. Wade joined the Navy at age 17, training as an Interior Communications Electrician, and received his G.E.D. while there. After being honorably discharged in 1982, he attended Columbia School of Broadcasting. He went to work with the Long Beach Aerospace Corp. McDonnell-Douglas in Los Angeles. Fascinated with the fiber-optics advances, he worked for companies such as MCI, ICG Communications, and TCG in south Florida. He also worked for Carnival Cruise Line on board the Celebration as a DJ in the Disco, requiring 26 weekly cruises to the Caribbean and Virgin Isles. Most recently he worked for Touch America in Salt Lake City for the 2002 Winter Olympics.
Wade was an avid golfer and sports nut, especially football, but his greatest passion was music; singing, playing and writing it. He spent countless hours with his close friends, playing their guitars and enjoying a special camaraderie. He loved his friends and family, and adored his nieces and nephews. Wade was a kind heart, very generous and loving. He had an unbelievable sense of humor; he could always make us laugh. Wade we will miss you every single day.
Wade was preceded in death by his beloved Grandpa Harry Partington; Grandma Doris (Olson) Partington; his aunt, Lenore Quickstad; and numerous aunts and uncles on the Sotelo and Olson sides. He is survived by his mother, Sandra Vandegrift; step-father, Glen Vandegrift; his father, Anthony Sotelo, Ron Radke; Uncle Harry Partington, Jr. and Antoinette; brothers, Delano, Anthony and Stanley Sotelo; sisters, Lisa Sotelo, Julie (Lon) Carter, Terry (Brian) Hanson; nieces and nephews, Nicho, Kairo, Tasa, and Asher Sotelo, Tara, Aaron, and Leah Hanson, Jade, Saphire, and Chalce Carter, Joshua Johnson, Maegan Myers, and Jessica Elzea; and many, many cousins and friends.
Cremation has taken place at Wade's request. A Memorial service will be 2 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5 at the Dahl Funeral Home, 10 Yellowstone Ave., Billings, MT 59101. A potluck/reception will follow at the family property on the Roundup Road. Condolences may be sent to: firstname.lastname@example.com or 5649 Roundup Road, Billings, MT 59105.

We still have a bunch of reviews to post and a lot of clean-up work to do, but the belated updates for now are:
Is it a good day to golf in the greater Hartford area (8 chalk outlines out of 10 or above)? Forget Doppler! You can (usually) trust the Keneyriffic Index.
GoatTrackGolf.com: your source for golf course reviews, logo golf apparel, and other golf nonsense.
After the leaves are down and the pins have been pulled, we select an "Award Winning Track" for the year. Sometimes it's a Goat Track, sometimes not; either way, it's the most enjoyable "golf experience" of the year, in our opinion.
Previous "Winners":
We're in the process of converting the GT site to a new format that still has a lot of unresolved technical/design flaws. There's a ton of clean-up work remaining here, but we're moving in the right direction, at a glacial pace. If you run across a GT review that has no pics, it's probably because they got f'd in the conversion process and we haven't cleaned it up yet. Be patient, we'll fix it, even if we need to ditch GoDaddy for another format.
Why the chalk outlines on the Keneyriffic Index? Short answer: 9th rough near the access road, police tape, body recovered, end of story; a Keney classic.
In a nutshell, as a GT site fan once put it : "Why TW when you can GT?" Good point.
Hats, bag towels, commemorative T-shirts; we have everything to improve your game, other than lessons.

A Real Historic Baltimore Speakeasy~
The Owl Bar is a step back in time rich in history. Prohibition, movie stars, writers, politicians, the famous and infamous, all write a chapter in the history of this speakeasy housed in the grand Belvedere Hotel. The Owl Bar was a very popular stop for travelers, especially train passengers traveling between New York and Miami. They would stop off in Baltimore for a couple days and stay at The Belvedere where they would invariably visit "the wise old owl." An owl was mounted in the bar with lights for eyes. For those in the know, when the eyes were blinking it meant that the shipment had made it; the feds weren't around; and it was safe to partake.
Today, the bar evokes the atmosphere of the bygone speakeasy. With backlit stained glass telling the story of the wise old owl, beautiful detailed brick walls, historic old dark booths, and an incredibly long well worn wood bar, you can feel the history.

Larry expresses admiration and support for Kim Kardashian. God bless her, she's a healthy kid.
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Show Summary
It feels like the very first time — Larry's ever recorded a show or driven in LA as our host forgets to put on his headphones again and gets lost on a road he's been down 23,000 times.
Larry reads an email STOP. Thinks it's a telegram STOP.
Larry talks about how impressed he is by British accents and waxes nostalgic for his time working at Pinewood Studios in England.
We find out that knees are, in fact, up at the Lamb and Flag pub. And Larry compares and contrast English, French, Irish and American bar names. Then he talks about station wagon essentials — luggage rack, wood paneling and martinis.
Will Larry's diet stick? Will Larry show his naked butt on camera again?
We also hear about Larry's Dad pulling an "overtell" on him, a not-too-purty piggyback fivefecta that Larry thinks looks like a breast (possibly) and that a good head of hair is wasted on a dictator.
Quote of the week: "Edmund Charles Faversham did get rather pickled on the ale."

Mona posted these pics of Duff cause I couldn't remember how. Thank you so much, Mona. McDuff will be leaving us soon. Cancer has spread. But He's touched alot of peoples' lives. He has done his job here and a job very well done. Except I have to have a face to face talk with him about why he is taking my heart with him, too. For the courageous, selfless dog he is, I'm sure he'll give me a good explanation. |
trisha, there simply are no words that could possibly convey the sadness i feel for you. duff is a beautiful dog, inside and out, i can see that in his eyes. i am so very sorry he is losing this battle. i recently lost my little corgi girl to cancer, i know a little of what you are feeling. God bless you for loving him enough to let him go. ((((hugs)))) |

You could make a little album of pictures of him. I did that when our dear kitty died. I'm sorry you'll be losing him. He is a beautiful animal. |
I am so sorry that you are are facing this.... It is never easy when they leave us. |
McDuff is such a handsome boy! I remember when you first posted at the KT about him years ago. I was captivated by your boy. I am so sorry he is going through this Trisha. Big hugs for you both!!! |

I'm so sorry. He really is a beauty, & you're lucky to have had/known him. |

I've had him in my prayers. Thank you for the pictures, he's one hunk of a hansome boy. You, on the other hand, are an incredibly strong and wise woman. (((HUGS))) Edna |
Trish, My heart is breaking for you. Our Bear was diagnosed with bone cancer Jan the 31st. Our vet didn't recommend amputation. He had osteosarcoma in his rear leg. By the time it was found, the vet figured it was already in his lungs and gave him 2 months with no treatment and only 6-12 months with radition and chemo.We loved him so much in those last days... He crossed the bridge on March the 16th. There are still days that I can't believe he is gone. On July the 26th, my best friend found an ad for a litter of Saints only 3 hours away. We came home with Tank. He has helped heal the hole that was left in our lives and hearts when Bear left us. Hugs to you |

I just wanted to say thanks to all you. It's just so great to have all your support. I think what hubby and I have to do is just get ourselves ready for this big loss. This, I think, is the hardest thing we ever had to do. littlebit -- I'm so sorry for your Bear. Our last saint was named Bear. So you got Tank, a saint?! I can't believe it. Can you post some pics. He's a big, sweet guy now, I bet. |
I feel so bad for what you are going thru. Duff is a gorgeous animal with love shining from his eyes. It's never easy, is it? |

McDuff is still hanging in there. He's such a big, big, big, big sweet, sweet, sweet boy -- you should see this 180lb guy sleeping next to me -- yup, snoring with his big, huge saint bernard head on my chest. And his beautiful eyes. And listening to his snorng! lol. I wish you all could have met him. I really do. He's changed alot of peoples lives. He's changed my life. He's made me believe that all happens for a reason. There are no accidents or coincidences |
I believe that too. I found my dog on Petfinder. He's a mutt and I never looked at another dog. He was meant to be with me. I wish you well with your big sweet guy. |
- Posted by trisha57_ny (My Page) on Mon, Sep 14, 09 at 22:03
lily316, I can't believe you found your sweetheart on petfinder. I wish you well, too. We are babysitting a two year old right now from England. The whole family came out here for a brother's, a son's, a nephew's wedding. They are all staying with us. Eloise (the two year old) and Daisy (McDuff's little sis) are in love with each other. McDuff "oversees" the happenings here. Just so you get a clear picture of what's going on here, Daisy weighs two pounds less than me! lol. I think that's hysterical that an owner and a dog can weigh the same. She's 155 lbs. When Daisy meets a new adult, she's all over them. Steps on their toes, bumps their foreheads, slurps all over their good white pants, etc. All I hear is "owwww! owww, I think my toe is broke! oh, know, my knee, oh god I have a fat lip, do you have paper towel?" and so on. Anyway, when Daisy sees little Eloise, she turns into a gentle, gentle lamb. It's amazing to watch this 155lb. dog with this little two year old. Daisy waits at their door all night waiting for Eloise to wake up. It's just incredible to see this. When Eloise wakes up, she asks for Daisy. It's just amazing. Eloise had a bowl of ice cream and a spoon. She took some ice cream and then offered the spoon to Daisy. Daisy very gently took the ice cream off the spoon. And waited for Eloise to have hers. Eloise then gave Daisy some more ice cream. This was amazing to watch. |

What a gooood girl! I think dogs recognize that kids are different- They interact differently with little ones, & they'll put up with a lot of nonsense out of children that they wouldn't stand for from an adult. (& getting dog slobber in your mouth is the healthiest way to develop a healthy immune system!) |
oh i missed my dog who died few years ago... by the way,,, what's the breed of your dog??? he seems so big... he's a handsome dog,,, really... _________________ |

Shoot 'Em Up: Building The Best Call of Duty Squad From The NBA
Skyrim is perched over my shoulder like a dark cloud, so I'm extra grateful the guys at Activision hooked me up with an Elite subscription. Now Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 can't get old. For those of you who have the Elite pass, you've probably spent the last few days scampering around the endless staircases of Piazza, and slipping from bush to bunker in Liberation. It's been a week now since the first content drop, and in-between Blake Griffin dunking on Kendrick Perkins so bad he had to delete his Twitter and the Orlando Magic turning into the Orlando Tragic, I've logged my share of time in the trenches.

Sample Class: Playing the Field
Class Take-Out: Let the games begin with this fast-paced, full-throttle workout.
If you want to offer a class that helps participants break out of a rut, leave the group fitness studio behind and head outside to a playing field. Scout out a local football, baseball or soccer field and transform it into a training ground. Use the existing field design and the premarked lines (hash marks, yard line markers and goal lines) to create an exciting and dynamic class. Combine speed, agility, power and body weight strength drills to tap into the inner athlete in everyone.
Be creative! The following drills are for a football field, but they can easily be adapted for any type of field if you use agility cones.
Goal/Emphasis: cardio and strength conditioning
Equipment Needed: stopwatch/timer, whistle, cones (optional)
Total Time: 60 minutes
Music: not applicable
Additional Notes: In drills 1–8, length of work effort varies. Create your own drill sequences, alternating shorter and longer efforts. Repeat any drill (except 9) once or more throughout class. Build in rest periods between drills; use this time to set up next drill and to give instructions. Perform drill 9 only once, as class finale.
Using goal line as starting point, participants jog width of field, power-walk 10 yards down field (use yard line markers) and then jog width of field in other direction. They repeat jog/power-walk sequence down entire field.
Players return to opposite end of field using similar sequence: still jogging width of field but replacing power walk with 10-yard lateral shuffle.
Players stand on goal line facing opposite end of field. Activity changes every 10 yards until participants reach opposite end. (Before each change, name drill, and blow whistle to start sequence.) Players wait at yard line marker in squat position for next drill.
Sample Sequence
- jog (goal line to 10-yard line)
- high-knee run (10- to 20-yard line)
- right-lead lateral shuffle (20- to 30-yard line)
- left-lead lateral shuffle (30- to 40-yard line)
- sprint (40- to 50-yard line)
Repeat to opposite end of field.
Players form teams of four to five. Each team gets 10 hash marks, which are placed at 1-yard intervals to simulate agility ladder. Teams run agility-based drills using hash marks. Every time whistle blows, activity changes.
Sample Drills
- high-knee tire run
- quick triple-step moving forward
- jumping jacks moving forward
- alternating right- and left-side pedal
Participants line up in plank position at back of end zone, which is 10 yards deep. They perform plank walk with alternating push-ups until they reach goal line. From there, they jog back to start position and repeat.
Participants run "X" pattern using length and width of field. They form single-file line at back right corner of end zone and run length of field diagonally to far corner of opposite end zone. Then they jog width of end zone and again run length of field diagonally. They finish by jogging width of end zone. Pattern forms large "X."
Players perform series of plyometric drills in end zone. To simulate celebratory leap into stands, they run from goal line to back of end zone and then perform set of creative plyometric leaps and bounds (cued by you).
Participants line up on goal line, facing you, and execute fast "football-feet" run on yard line marker. When whistle blows, they run 20 yards and resume fast football-feet run. Drill repeats 5x as they move down entire length of field.
Participants line up on 50-yard line in "set" position. When whistle blows, they sprint to 40-yard line, turn around, jog back to 45-yard line and resume "set" position. When whistle blows again, they sprint 10 yards to 35-yard line and jog back to 40-yard line. They repeat 10-yard sprint and 5-yard jog back until they reach goal line. (Vary the amount of rest time between sprints.)
Participants pair up and choose section of field approximately 5 yards long. Partners alternate work efforts: one person leads and other person follows, mimicking leader's movements for set amount of time (then they switch). Examples of movements include shuffles, quick-run patterns and leaps.
This last drill requires all-out effort on field. It's overtime, and class is going for final pass to win the game. Players start deep in their own territory on 5-yard line. When whistle blows, everyone runs as fast as possible down field. When whistle blows again, participants must stop and make one final leap upward to simulate catching ball. This drill is great for bringing out a little friendly competition.
Participants walk slowly back down length of field from their stopping places in drill 9. In end zone, they perform series of stretches that target all muscle groups worked.

- Give proper safety instructions before class begins.
- Always carry a cell phone for emergency purposes during any type of outdoor class.
- Work smart! Teach participants to know their limitations. Never compromise form and technique just to finish a drill.
- Be a good coach. Cue clearly and give detailed directions to avoid confusion and possible injury.

"I thought this was yummy. Ate some this morning with bananas and walnuts. Next time I make it, I don't think I'll grind up quite as many oats.

"Oh wow! This was so good. I was looking for a way to use up some coconut milk from a different recipe and I am so glad I found this one.

Understanding the XML Schema
The XML schema defines the messages that you can use to access the FedEx services. You create a request that contains business data and other instructions and you send it to FedEx.
FedEx replies with a response that contains the data resulting from the instructions you sent in. The XML schema provides a means for defining the structure, content, and semantics of XML documents. An XML schema defines:
- Elements and attributes that can appear in a document
- Elements that are child elements
- Order and number of child elements
- Whether an element is empty or can include text
- Data types, default values and fixed values for elements and attributes
Some important facts about the XML schema:
- Elements that contain sub-elements or carry attributes have complex types.
- Elements that contain numbers (and strings, and dates, etc.), but do not contain any sub elements, have simple types. Some elements have attributes. Attributes always have simple types.
- Complex types in the instance document, and some of the simple types, are defined in the schema associated with a FedEx Web Service. Other simple types are defined as part of XML Schema's repertoire of built-in simple types.
- XML Schema built-in simple types are prefixed by "xs:", which is associated with the XML Schema namespace through the declaration xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/ XMLSchema", displayed in the schema element.
- The same prefix, and the same association, are also part of the names of built-in simple types, e.g., xs:string. This association identifies the elements and simple types as belonging to the vocabulary of the XML Schema language, rather than the vocabulary of the schema author.

Is this "Kampfzange" (claw) on the Luther or Loth supposed to be range C or range 1. I know it says range 1, but so does the "Knife & Grenade" on one of my infantry. Was the claw supposed to be change to range C when they introduced range C?

Nope, the old Knife and Knife & Grenade were changed to range C, but the Kampfzange remains range 1.
Posted 04 June 2012 - 07:36 AM
This came up in regionals and they played it as a C weapon. I was pretty sure it was range 1 still. The card update didnt change the range value.
Posted 04 June 2012 - 07:40 AM
There is no doubt that it's Range 1, not C. The updated cards didn't change it, and FFG has officially answered it's still range 1.
Posted 04 June 2012 - 08:12 AM
It's a C weapon in Dust Warfare… perhaps someone was confusing the two games?

I made this paper flower from a few pages of an old book, a little glass bead and a piece of brass wire.
I think it turned out pretty nicely :)
I'm not a native speaker so I guess there will be a few mistakes in the text and grammar but I try my best and any correction is much appreciated.
If there are any questions just ask in the comment section below.
I used a brass wire with 1mm diameter and glass beads with 5mm diameter.
The flower is about 4 inches but you can scale the petals-template in the print setting of your PDF-reader to make it a different size.
Put the bead on the wire and twist it with the pliers for two or three times.
The twisted part will be covered with the petals when you're done and it will also hold the petals in place.
Download and print template:
Cut out the petals. You will need 6 pieces of each petal shape.
I folded 2 pages twice like an accordion, put the template on top and cut it out. It is much easier than tracing/cutting each petal seperately.
Make 2 holes with a needle...
...and put the flower petals on the wire starting with the little ones.
Be careful with pushing the petal over the twist in the wire to make sure your paper doesn't crack more than necessary.
I guess this sounds a little weired because I can't explain it properly in English but I hope you will know what I mean when you're at this step in this how-to.
I bend the petals of the forth row down and the last row up again.
If you use the flower just for decoration you probably won't need the glue.
But in case the petals won't bear up you can glue a little bead with an inside diameter that fits your wire right underneath the last petal.
You're done, enjoy! :)

Current Issue
State says student test scores set to plummet under higher standards
Next year, parents likely will get a rude awakening when they are handed their child's ISAT scores. After a decade in which ISAT cut scores crept down, state officials are poised to raise them, thereby likely reducing the number of students who meet or exceed standards.
The Illinois State Board of Education is scheduled to vote on the proposed changes at their meeting on Thursday. The move comes in anticipation of a new, tougher standardized test expected to be ready for use in 2014. The new test will be based on the Common Core standards, which have been adopted by 45 states and the District of Columbia. The Common Core standards are thought to be more rigorous than current state standards.
If the change is approved, ISBE projects that the percentage of students statewide who meet or exceed standards on the ISAT will drop by 20 points in reading and math. ISBE officials will analyze the expected effects on individual districts in the coming weeks, ISBE spokesman Matt Vanover said.
If CPS has the same projected decrease, about 50 percent of students would meet standards on the ISAT—a similar percentage as in 2005, before the state lowered cut scores. In 2006, the cut scores were recalibrated and CPS saw a 15 percentage point jump in students meeting or exceeding standards. Last year, 76.4 percent of students in CPS met standards on the ISAT.
"Raising expectations is never easy, and the anticipated drop in students' scores will be significant," said State Superintendent Chris Koch in a press release. "However, we must seize this opportunity to tap into our children's full potential and better prepare them at an earlier age to compete for jobs in a global economy."
CPS is planning on sending letters to parents to explain to them what is going on, said CPS spokeswoman Becky Carroll.
Another reason for the recalibration, Koch said, is the state's desire to align results on the high school standardized test, called the PSAE, with the ISAT. Only 51 percent of high school juniors met standards on the PSAE, compared to 82 percent on the ISAT.
Consequences for student retention, school probation, school ratings
Over the past two years, district officials have worked to prepare parents for the change. They have downplayed the results on the ISAT and, instead, tried to get parents to focus on the NWEA, a benchmark exam with results reported for the first time in 2011 on the district's redesigned school progress reports.
The NWEA is considered to be more closely aligned with the Common Core standards. Currently, the NWEA is now the only test with results reported on a school's progress report.
But, for CPS students, the change may have greater consequences. CPS is the only school district in the state that bases grade promotion partly on students' ISAT scores. CPS officials have not said whether they plan to alter the policy in light of the cut-score increase or the Common Core assessment in coming years.
Also, ISAT results determine whether a school is placed on probation, as well as on the district's rating scale.
State standardized test scores also will be weighed into teacher and principal evaluations. However, growth will be considered, so low test scores, starting out, could be a benefit.

Some misinformation above
Percentiles will not be affected by the changes to the ISAT. Percentile a come from 30 questions on the first day of the test and are called SAT 10s. The rest of the test is used to determine the performance measure. ISBE told me that there will be a mismatch between the percentile and the performance cut. Children may have high percentiles and barely meet standards. CPS uses percentiles to determine promotion at the bench mark grades of 3,6 & 8th. The current policy is that the students need to be in the 24th percentile or above to be promoted. So the new cut scores will not affect promotion to the next grade.
CPS uses the average growth
CPS uses the average growth over 3 years on the ISAT (Composite, Reading, Math, Science, Exceeds and Attendance to place schools at levels. If the ISAT scores decrease how will they make those decisions and how will this affect schools? Is CPS having considering the Performance Policy and how it will be impacted by the change?

I have a sidewalk that is 27 ft long and I'm thinking about planting it up cottage style but not sure and open to suggestions. I have a pair of cast iron urns that I moved near the road, half of the walk nearest the road gets full sun all day and the other half gets full sun until about 1pm, then gets part sun.(The tree that is casting a shadow has been removed due to ice damage) I was thinking about two 2ft backless benches opposite each other near the center, I have an arbor at the end of the walk with a Zeffy Climbing Rose and Ramona Clematis, that look like they are going to put on a grand show this year (both just planted last spring)or maybe less is more?

"Thanks Jen, these were great. The butter cooled quickly and went slightly lumpy in the batter, but it didn't matter. These were really easy to flip as the uncooked side set well. Quite a bland base but this makes them perfect for the topping of your choice, we had real maple syrup and they were yummy."
"We brought a beautiful pumpkin and used some of it in this recipe. Didn't add the sugar as the pumpkin has a lovely flavour all on its own. I used thyme and a little finely grated lemon zest. This cooked away nicely in the oven and required a minimum of fuss, an added bonus was that the leftovers were really tasty when reheated the next day. M..."

Welcome to the NYU Langone Comprehensive Epilepsy Center!
Our mission is to care for people with epilepsy and improve their quality of life. Our focus is on each child or adult who comes to the center, and their families and loved ones, but our goals extend to research and beyond. We are fortunate to have a remarkable group of physicians, nurses, technologists, scientists, and others who make our center unique among outstanding epilepsy programs.
Excellence in patient care is our core mission. Epilepsy is a complex disorder. For many, the effects of stigma as well as other social, work, and educational issues and medication problems equal or exceed the impact of seizures. To care for a child, adolescent or adult with epilepsy requires a comprehensive perspective that extends far beyond the 'symptoms'. Through a deeply connected collaborative team of doctors, nurse practitioners, clinical nurses, neuropsychologists, EEG technologists and others, we remain intensely dedicated to providing the best care for each person. Challenging cases often benefit from conferences that bring more than 20 members of team together to brainstorm and explore alternative therapeutic strategies.
Research remains an enormous priority and we concentrate our efforts on projects that we hope will impact the lives of patients in the not-too-distant future. Teams of researchers are working on diverse projects, including new drug development, a device to deliver drugs to the brain, neuroinflammation as a cause of an opportunity to treat epilepsy, tuberous sclerosis and epilepsy, autism and epilepsy, and many others.
FACES - Finding A Cure for Epilepsy and Seizures - is a non-profit organization, part of our epilepsy center - that is dedicated to improving the quality of lives for people with epilepsy through research, clinical programs, education, awareness, and community building events.
We welcome you to our website and hope it provides valuable information about our center, our people and our passion.
Orrin Devinsky, MD
Professor of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry

I bought 2gallon pot size Zepherine Drouhin last April, it grew this big and blooming very well now. Upon reading some forums on this rose, some say it does not reblomm unlike other rose vines. Please share your experiences with this vine and it's care. The fragrance is very strong and I can smell it everywhere on my deck.
Follow-Up Postings:
Zepherine Drouhin does rebloom but not with any regularity and never again with as many blooms as the spring flush. Still, there will be blooms, so it's not strictly a spring bloomer. |

Crazy bloom in the spring and then scattered blooms during the summer. In the fall it blooms fairly good but not like spring. Get ready for next spring. Your bush will be bigger and more mature. I like how you have it. You get to enjoy it first hand. Not out in a garden or on the side of your house away from your back deck. |
It's lovely! And like Ken said it will get much taller! That's why they're called climbing roses not vines too. I'd say to keep doing what ever you're doing because it sure does look healthy and happy! |
Thanks everyone. Yeah, it sure is not a vine, it is a climber and I like the fact of not having thorns so it is safe to have around the deck. In my one year experience this is what I have noticed with this plant: pros: thornless heavy bloomer in early spring strong fragrance that wafts beautiful big blooms cons: |
A lot of roses are prone to black spot disease. If it isn't too bad and the rose doesn't completely defoliate you don't NEED to do anything about it. If it bothers you there are fungicide sprays that you can use to keep it clean. Bugs are everywhere and all roses are susceptible to them. And yes, they each have their season as well as their own regions to grow in. If you want to spray for those you need to ID the specific insect you have and find the correct spray for that one. A number of them can be controlled with just a good hard spray from the hose though. That's why it's very important to know which one you are dealing with. Spring flush is usually the biggest bloom time on all roses. The plant has been dormant for a while and once it starts growing again it puts a big push on the produce blooms. After that it doesn't have the need to bloom so massively so blooms become sporadic. When you train your climber try to stretch the canes horizontally as much as possible. This will increase the growth of lateral branches and that will increase your bloom! |
Kandhi, the older my ZD gets, the more rebloom I get. Of course, I don't expect any rebloom to match the Spring bloom. I have, however, seen an increase from what I got the first few years. Lou |
Please tell me, what do you do to it to get it to look so lovely! Mine is in its 6th year, bloomed one spring and about four last summer, this spring - nothing. I am threatening her with shovel pruning. I fertilize her regularly with alfalfa tea. and amabout running out of options. She is in a south-western exposure. |
what zone are you in rosarama? |
Thanks for the tips Seil and Lou. Rosarama, I use dynagro folage pro organic fertilizer and use neem oil for pests to take care of my roses. |
Hoov: I'm in Zone 9a-b - Central Florida,Orlando area and the plant looks very healthy, just won't bloom |

I have the same problem with Karlyn and Ronnie. Sorry, can't help. Nancy |
I'm terrible at telling things apart. It might be worth giving LyndonLyon a call to see if they can help. They have pictures of both on their website. |
Thanks, Komi -- that's how I narrowed it down to the two. Grr! Argh! Korina PS D'you think maybe I'm being a little too anal? |
Hi Korina, Not really. I personally want to know the names of all my plants if it is possible. Larry |
Hi all, (I'm back after six months). Korina you just have a green and silver episcia. Good luck on ID'ing it to a named variety. You may come up with a good ID or it may always be questionable, since episcias change, depending on culture, time of year, mood etc. Spearmint generally makes bigger leaves and is vigorous. Mine, which I lost, came from Lyons. It was really nice, a simple silver and green pattern--very fresh looking. Faded Jade is one I grew years ago (an old Lyon's hybrid); it was noted for being a compact grower--which in episcias means generally smaller leaves and shorter stolons. But. for leaf pattern I would have to see them both again--the memory fails. And, there are other green and silver varieties out there. So, that is why I say that you may have to just accept its unnamed status. Although these all have the standard cupreata flowers, there are subtle differences to some of the cultivars so perhaps these two might have something that you could use to help, when comparing to a photo. Jon |
Thanks, all. You'd think I'd be used to this by now with all my noid AVs. It started as a stolon someone claimed came from a friend's yard (she said skeptically). I planted it *all* wrong, not knowing a thing about Episcias, and just recently dug it up; it was in such bad shape I took it apart into five cuttings, which are all rooted now. I'm just trying to get my 'local' AV club interested so they'll take them off my hands. Jon, it's probably not Faded Jade; I just measured the one full-grown leaf and it's 3" long. Not exactly compact. :-) Thanks again, everyone. I'll just relax and enjoy it. Korina |
Can anyone tell me where I could order a good episcia. How are Rob's Violets? Or Victoria Violets? This will be my first one. Thanks. |
I have bought plants from Lyndon Lyon's at convention plant sales. They do a fantastic job with everything they grow. Their episcias are very full and lush in little pots. They also have a nice list of varieties though not a long list like Marcia Belisle (who offers about 130 named varieties). Robs is well known for quality too. I don't know about the violet dealer. There are links to on-line nurseries on the "Suppliers" page on the AGGS web site, as well as mailing addresses for the others. Jon |
Here is a link that might be useful: AGGS homepage
The one sold to me as Faded Jade also has large leaves. It doesn't seem particularly compact at all, and I think I bought it from a reputable guy. You may never know. I say just pick one. I think Faded Jade is more much commonly distributed than Spearmint, so if you play the odds you probably got Faded Jade. |
That's absolutely true. 'Faded Jade' is known to grow slightly smaller leaves but can be just as big as others. Episcias respond so much to culture, lighting etc. that is is hard to say what they are, as they change in size, coloring, and even pattern, depending on so many factors. |
Hi. there's a spearmint on ebay now. It looks rather different from Faded Jade. It looks like the outer parts are darker green than Faded Jade, almost brown. I just got a Spearmint stolon yesterday, and I did see some faint brown lines, but wasn't going to say anything until it got bigger, since stolons often look different from older leaves. But compare the ebay picture of Spearmint, and compare the picture I posted of Faded Jade in the gallery, and see if either matches what you have. |
