Please note the important advocacy news items below that are of high priority to the cutaneous lymphoma community. We encourage you to learn more about these issues and how, together, we can affect positive change and grow support for the issues that are most important to people affected by cutaneous lymphoma.
The current trend of closing and/or merging local cancer clinics with larger facilities is affecting patients' access to affordable care, the cost of care for seniors and the sustainability of Medicare Part B Program. Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow recently wrote a letter to U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid requesting that these issues be addressed in the next available legislative vehicle.
The Patient Access to Care (PACT) Coalition wrote a letter thanking Senator Stabenow for advancing legislature to ensure community-based care for cancer patients remains available. As a member of PACT, the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation also signed the letter.

Dr. Suzanne Delbanco wrote an opinion peice for the Wall Street Journal on how these mergers drive up the cost of care. Dr. Delbanco is the executive director of Catalyst for Payment Reform, an independent, nonprofit corporation working on behalf of large employers and other health care purchasers to catalyze improvements in how we pay for health services and promote higher-value care in the U.S..

September 2014 - This year's American Academy of Dermatology legislative conference was one of the largest in recent history. The participants included 139 dermatologists, residents, patient advocates, and representatives from the Association of Dermatology Managers/Administrators and Dermatology Nurses Association. Together, we met with 189 members of Congress, from 31 states, including 81 meetings with the legislators themselves. Importantly, 75 of the meetings were with legislative 'targets;' individuals who sit on Committees of jurisdiction over the most pressing issues to dermatology patients, within the Congressional branch.
The key messages that were presented are as follows:
Patient Access to Care and Network Adequacy:
Medical Research Funding:
Increase funding for medical research to find cures and treatments for life-threatening and debilitating skin conditions and diseases.
Skin Cancer Prevention:
If you are interested in becoming more involved in advocacy initiatives with the CLF, please send an email to indicating your interest. We are in the early stages of developing an advocacy ambassador program and will include you on our list of active advocates.
August 2014 - The Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation added its name to a letter concerning drug naming from the Alliance for Safe Biologic Medicines (ASBM) to the Honorable Margaret Hamburg, Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The letter encourages the FDA to require that companies that produce biosimilar (generic) versions of medications use unique names for their drug, rather than a close derivative of the original. Unique names will provide better clarity when physicians prescribe a drug and less confusion for patients and their pharmacists in filling prescriptions ensuring that the patient receives the medication their physician intended.

August 2014 - The Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation (CLF) and the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) are pleased to announce the launch of the Lymphoma Education and Advocacy Partners (LEAP) program. LEAP, convened by LRF, is a coalition of lymphoma-specific patient advocacy organizations focused on public polices and programs that influence the health care and treatment options of people with lymphoma.

June 2014 - The CLF participated again this year as part of the American Academy of Dermatology contingent in One Voice Against Cancer's (OVAC) day of action on Capitol Hill. Bringing together 48 coalition organizations along with additional smaller organizations like the CLF who participate as part of the larger groups, OVAC enhanced the cancer community's chances of securing sufficient funds to support cancer initiatives. By providing a united front on a common theme, OVAC is the leading cancer coalition in Washington, sending a powerful message to legislators.
This year's theme to legislators is: "Make Funding for Cancer Research and Prevention a Top Priority!"
Recognizing that there are many challenges facing congressional leaders with regard to the federal budget and appropriation of funds, OVAC sent almost 100 individuals to meet individually with their legislators with these three specific requests:
1. Provide $5.26 billion for the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
2. End the decline of cancer's share of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) budget, by ensuring that any increase for NCI is proportional to the overall increase for the NIH.
3. Support cancer prevention, screening programs and cancer registries in every state by increasing funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cancer programs. Support a FY 2015 budget for the CC Division of Cancer Prevention and Control of $510 million.
Although meeting with legislative leaders and their staff in Washington is an important activity to get the message across, you too can join the effort. As one legislative staff person said, the members listen to the people in their districts and there are many in congress who do not feel that this funding is in fact important because they haven't heard from them.
You can add your voice to the OVAC message. Call, email or write to your senators and congressmen/woman or set-up a visit with them or their staff at their local office. Take these three requests with you. Let them know that funding cancer research is important to you. Your efforts will make a difference in Washington and ultimately to all of us who continue to live with cutaneous lymphoma. Research is the key to finding new treatments and hopefully one day, a cure.

March 2014 - The Regulatory Education and Action for Patient (REAP) Council submitted an official comment letter concerning proposed changes to the Medicare spending. The letter was submitted to Marilyn Tavenner, the administrator of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The letter covers the following principles: (1) proposals that may impact Medicare beneficiary access to needed drug therapies (both positively or negatively); (2) proposals focused on enhancing quality of care; and (3) proposals focused on enhancing beneficiary and stakeholder understanding of or symplifying the admnistration for the Medicare Part D benefit.

'The entire reason that this has become the political topic it is is because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan."
Thus, Stephanie Cutter, President Obama's deputy campaign manager, speaking on CNN about an armed attack on the 9/11 anniversary that left a U.S. consulate a smoking ruin and killed four diplomatic staff, including the first American ambassador to be murdered in a third of a century. To discuss this event is apparently to "politicize" it and to distract from the real issues the American people are concerned about. For example, Obama spokesperson Jen Psaki, speaking on board Air Force One on Thursday: "There's only one candidate in this race who is going to continue to fight for Big Bird and Elmo, and he is riding on this plane."
She's right! The United States is the first nation in history whose democracy has evolved to the point where its leader is provided with a wide-body transatlantic jet in order to campaign on the vital issue of public funding for sock puppets. Sure, Caligula put his horse in the senate, but it was a real horse. At Ohio State University, the rapper will.i.am introduced the president by playing the Sesame Street theme tune, which oddly enough seems more apt presidential-walk-on music for the Obama era than "Hail to the Chief."
This was confirmed by testimony to Congress a few days ago, although you could have read as much in my column of four weeks ago. Nevertheless, for most of those four weeks, the president of the United States, the secretary of state, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and others have persistently attributed the Benghazi debacle to an obscure YouTube video — even though they knew that the two events had nothing to do with each other by no later than the crack of dawn Eastern time on September 12, by which point the consulate's survivors had landed safely in Tripoli.
To "politicize" means "to give a political character to." It is a reductive term, capturing the peculiarly shrunken horizons of politics: "Gee, they nuked Israel. D'you think that will hurt us in Florida?" So media outlets fret that Benghazi could be "bad" for Obama — by which they mean he might be hitting the six-figure lecture circuit four years ahead of schedule. But for Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Tyrone Woods, it's real bad. They're dead, over, gonesville. Given that Obama and Secretary Clinton refer to Stevens pneumatically as "Chris," as if they've known him since third grade, why would they dishonor the sacrifice of their close personal friend by peddling an utterly false narrative as to why he died? You want "politicization"? Secretary Clinton linked the YouTube video to the murder of her colleagues even as the four caskets lay alongside her at Andrews Air Force Base — even though she had known for days that it had nothing to do with it. It's weird enough that politicians now give campaign speeches to returning coffins. But to conscript your "friend"'s corpse as a straight man for some third-rate electoral opportunism is surely as shriveled and worthless as "politicization" gets.
In the vice-presidential debate, asked why the White House spent weeks falsely blaming it on the video, Joe Biden took time off between big toothy smirks to reply: "Because that was exactly what we were told by the intelligence community." That too is false. He also denied that the government of which he is nominally second-in-command had ever received a request for additional security. At the risk of "politicizing" things, this statement would appear also to be untrue.

Flobots were on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last week. And Last Call With Carson Daly before that. Yeah, I know — old news now, right? But five years ago, when I first started writing about local music for this paper, such an event wouldn't have been treated like just another story about a Denver band done good, forgotten in a few days. It would've been the story, front-page news. We'd be talking about it for weeks, months, even years. And I know this because we did just that the first time around. We've been here before.
Case in point: the Fray.
Things were decidedly different when that band broke. The talent pool was more shallow and the scene itself fragmented, revolving around only a handful of bars and clubs. There was no hi-dive, no 3 Kings or Bender's Tavern, no Marquis or Oriental theaters, no Walnut Room, no Meadowlark, no Old Curtis Street, no Bar Bar, no Falcon, no Rhinoceropolis — places that today devote a great deal of their programming to local music. This is not to disparage other rooms that were around back then, joints that stuck their neck out and booked local music consistently, like Cricket on the Hill, Herman's Hideaway, the Larimer and Climax lounges, 15th Street Tavern and the Lion's Lair. They were the lifeblood of the scene, and some of them remain so. But outside of those venues, locals were thought of as openers, not headliners — and not just by promoters, but by the media.
To compound matters, the music industry had difficulty finding Denver on a map, making this a city starved for national notoriety. So when the Fray garnered a major-label deal and suddenly focused the spotlight on our town, that was our lightning-in-a-bottle moment. For many of us, the act's success transcended the music. We were living vicariously through the Fray and drunk with possibilities — at least I was (witness my wanton hyperventilation over the Fray's every movement from 2004 to 2006).
But there were plenty of people who maintained an icy detachment and refused to drink the Kool-Aid. And as jaded as those folks might have seemed at the time, they were right. In the sober light of day, Denver is indeed more than just the Fray — or any of the other acts that have been called up to the majors. We're elated for and proud of those bands that have graduated, of course, but to pin all of our aspirations on them is more than a bit shortsighted. A decade from now, these acts will only be part of our story, not the whole thing. What will stick with us is the music and the countless nights we spent drinking, sweating and smiling together in small clubs, watching all the other groups that make up this scene. There's just so much bubbling beneath the surface.
Will these bands go on to become rock stars, icons that change the face of music? Maybe, maybe not. Many certainly deserve to, and even while others may not be breaking new ground, as some critics have cynically asserted, they're all changing lives — our lives. They're creating our soundtrack.
A number of years ago, I glibly suggested that Denver could be the next Seattle if only folks would pay attention — but I was being facetious: We didn't have a singular unifying sound to exploit. That was a good thing then, and it's truer than ever today. Our diversity is our strength. If we must compare our scene to another, Denver's actually like a composite of numerous cities across the country. It's a little Portland, a little Austin, a little Brooklyn, a little Omaha, a little Montreal and a lot of Toronto. The vast, unexpected collaborations and camaraderie we have here — arguably one of the best aspects of our scene — recalls that last town, in particular, and its Broken Social Scene.
Keeping all this in mind, I don't think we've actually started taking our time in the national spotlight for granted; it's more like our priorities have shifted. Don't get me wrong: It's still invigorating to catch DeVotchKa on Conan, or to see guys like Nathaniel Rateliff written up in Billboard, or to see acts like the Swayback, Cat-A-Tac and Everything Absent or Distorted (a love story) gaining notice from CMJ. Or to hear an outfit like Bela Karoli featured on NPR, or to find Pictureplane and Rhinoceropolis lauded in Pitchfork. But when it comes right down to it, all of that validation, the very thing that we sought for so long from outsiders, has become secondary. Fact is, it's far more exhilarating to actually be a part of a scene that is as vibrant as it is expansive than it is to have that scene get national attention.
And we built this scene together: the bands, the fans, the venues, the studios, the producers, the record labels and the media — particularly stations like KTCL, that champion the music made here, treating it like it's every bit as relevant as the glossier imports, which it is. Putting together this year's Westword Music Showcase was a particularly eye-opening experience. Going to shows several nights a week, I always knew there was a wealth of talent in our city. It wasn't until I stopped and put it all down on paper, though, that it truly dawned on me just how deep that well is.

i like it...the kamperstrahl lettering doesn't quite look "stamped" tho. i think cuz it overlaps the panels a little bit. just not as realistic as it could be IMO, but it's minor...looks great anyway
Brainstorming here: This is not a step - what aircraft is complete without it. A little weathering around the rivets and panel. The diagonal element should be the ovaled version if at all possible. The diagonal really tells me aircraft and not ship hull (follow me?).
I just threw this together, but you should be able to get some decent effects, giving more texture to the logo. The only thing I didnt try was making the type look like it was engraved on but that shouldnt be too hard. You working in Photoshop?
I'm using Gimp. Currently upgrading my desktop computer to the latest alpha release of Ubuntu Linux that includes a newer version of Gimp that supports some better text effects. (upgrading because I broke my stable OS installation by attempting to install the Gimp beta software...accidentally removed a TON of libraries and apps...doh!)
Alright, I've just about un-fvcked my computer. I'll get back to image editing...finally... While I'm Gimping away, will a few of you help me with tag-line brainstorming? My current labels all include:A social lubricant brought to you by Yuri I like that one quite a bit, but I'm not sure that it fits the aviation theme very well. Ideas so far include:Jet fuel for your social life This ain't no flight of fancy Slipping the surly bonds of macrobrews Zero to Mach One for your tastebuds I'm kinda leaning on the jet fuel/lubricant thing, but brainstorm away!
The semi-final design: I didn't add any crazy text effects - I want it to look as if the words were painted on the side of a jet. I tried to go for an oil streaked, weathered look. Adding more words (like ACHTUNG! or THIS IS NOT A STEP) kinda cluttered the logo. Thanks for all the help! Critiques? Slogan? EDIT: I was happy enough with this design to start making t-shirts.

BOULDER — Remember when Colorado lost 52-7 at Cal? The Buffs don't either.
Two straight victories — one a statement-making 29-27 win over traditional SEC power Georgia tonight at Folsom Field, have clouded the bad memories.
Georgia running back Caleb King fumbled the ball with 1:55 left in the fourth quarter, quelling a last-gasp effort to win, and Colorado held on for the victory.

Impax Laboratories Launches Oxymorphone Hydrochloride Extended-Release Tablets
Nursing MothersIt is not known whether oxymorphone is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs, including some opioids, are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when oxymorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets are administered to a nursing woman. Monitor infants who may be exposed to oxymorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets through breast milk for excess sedation and respiratory depression. Withdrawal symptoms can occur in breast-fed infants when maternal administration of an opioid analgesic is stopped, or when breast-feeding is stopped.
Pediatric UseThe safety and effectiveness of oxymorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets in patients below the age of 18 years have not been established.
Geriatric UseOf the total number of subjects in clinical studies of oxymorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets, 27% were 65 and over, while 9% were 75 and over. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects. There were several adverse events that were more frequently observed in subjects 65 and over compared to younger subjects. These adverse events included dizziness, somnolence, confusion, and nausea. On average, age greater than 65 years was associated with a 1.4-fold increase in oxymorphone AUC and a 1.5-fold increase in C max. Initiate dosing with oxymorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets in patients 65 years of age and over using the 5 mg dose and monitor closely for signs of respiratory and central nervous system depression when initiating and titrating oxymorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets. For patients on prior opioid therapy, start at 50% of the starting dose for a younger patient on prior opioids and titrate slowly.
Hepatic ImpairmentPatients with mild hepatic impairment have an increase in oxymorphone bioavailability of 1.6-fold. In opioid-naïve patients with mild hepatic impairment, initiate oxymorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets using the 5 mg dose and monitor closely for respiratory and central nervous system depression. Oxymorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets are contraindicated for patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment. For patients on prior opioid therapy, start at the 50% of the dose for that a patient with normal hepatic function on prior opioids and titrate slowly.
Renal ImpairmentPatients with moderate to severe renal impairment were shown to have an increase in oxymorphone bioavailability ranging from 57-65%. Start opioid-naïve patients with the 5 mg dose of oxymorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets and titrate slowly while closely monitoring for respiratory and central nervous system depression. For patients on prior opioid therapy, start at 50% of the dose for a patient with normal renal function on prior opioids and titrate slowly. Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal SyndromeChronic maternal use of oxymorphone during pregnancy can affect the fetus with subsequent withdrawal signs. Neonatal withdrawal syndrome presents as irritability, hyperactivity and abnormal sleep pattern, high pitched cry, tremor, vomiting, diarrhea and failure to gain weight. The onset, duration and severity of neonatal withdrawal syndrome vary based on the drug used, duration of use, the dose of last maternal use, and rate of elimination of the drug by the newborn. Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, unlike opioid withdrawal syndrome in adults, may be life-threatening and should be treated according to protocols developed by neonatology experts. DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE Controlled SubstanceOxymorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets contains oxymorphone, a mu opioid agonist and a Schedule II controlled substance with an abuse liability similar to other opioids including fentanyl, hydromorphone, methadone, morphine, oxycodone and tapentadol. Oxymorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets can be abused and is subject to criminal diversion. The high drug content in extended release formulations adds to the risk of adverse outcomes from abuse and misuse.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I generally frequent the kitchen forum, but have a question for some woodworkers. I had a friend cut me six round birch faced plywood circles for lazy susans in my new upper corner cabinets. They will be mounted to the shelves; not on a pole. I have the lazy susan hardware, but my question is, does anyone have a suggestion as to what to use for an edging on the board? Something that will stand above the board so things don't fly off as it is turned. I have seen edgebands online that appear to be adhesive backed and ironed on. Is this something that would work, or does someone have a better idea? Thanks! |

The iron-on banding is going to be too thin to be durable. You can cut (or have cut) solid wood strips and glue them on the edges. A lot will depend upon the diameter of the disk, but I'm guessing they're about 12" or so. It's also important to use a wood with fairly straight grain lines. Grain runout will create weak spots. I've made hundreds of Shaker oval boxes with bent-wood sides. For these, I soak the wood in hot water for 10-15 minutes before bending and work while hot. Hard maple would match the birch fine and bends well. When worked this way, you can bend while hot, clamp into a loop a bit smaller than your disk, then apply to your disks once cool and set. If thin enough and diameter large enough, you can just cold bend (or laminate up two even thinner strips, glued together. I'd probably start with 1/16" (~0.062") thick wood For a neater look, I'd taper the underside end, wrap over, then sand down the upper layer to make a scarf joint. If you don't have a band clamp to hold while gluing, you can use tape such as masking or packing tape and work your way around the circumference. |

Anyway not much has happened tama wise. I tried to get an ocenotchi off of E-Bay but it shot up in price in the last 3 hours!!!
Besides that i've been tring to get a photo of my Develotchi on my Angelotchi but i'm no good with takeing photos of my tamas. There all blurry! I'm going to try again later. Once I get a good photo i'm going to reset my angelotchi again. But first here is some info about the Devilotchi on my angelotchi!!!
He is a rare secerite caricter that can come from teens or adalts. To get him you pretty much have to not take care of your angel. Just cureing it from sicknesses. Much like the Lucky Unchi-Kun (Lucky Poo) he is un-playable. He just sits on your screen. The way to get him is after days of little to no care your angel will become very ill. When you give him the medicine he will not get better. After sevrial shots he will evolve into Devilotchi!
The rumer that you need the Lucky Unchi-Kun (Lucky Poo) to get Devilotchi is FALSE!
The rumer of Devilotchi being a playable caricter is FALSE!
The rumer that if you keep Devilotchi for a week he will evolve into a playable form of Devilotchi is FALSE!
The rumer that if you keep Devilotchi for a week he will evolve into King Devilotchi (A playable caricter on the Devilotchi) is FALSE!
Well I hope you enjoyed my Devilotchi Summery!
I'll post more later!

After months of design and preparation, Dr. Mohamed Mahgoub and a dedicated group of CIM students culminated phase one of a special project. The students, a mix of two CIM courses: senior project and independent studies in decorative concrete, took part in the pouring of a concrete rook. The concrete rook is the symbol of the Newark College of Engineering (NCE). The rook is 6 ft. high and 3 ft. wide and was poured indoors in the carpenter machine shop at the physical plant building after the construction of the intricate formwork was completed. The form was built with the expertise of NJIT carpenter Mr. William Araujo and his assistant Mr. Edward Jones. Their involvement in the project was invaluable and we are highly grateful. The inspiration came from the pouring of a small 2 ft. by 1 ft. model made a few weeks earlier. The final rook will weigh over a ton.
The team rook used a concrete mix with fibers and a special coloring to mimick the original "golden-red" shade of the NCE logo. The concrete was donated by County Concrete, and was facilitated by current CIM student Nicolas Denicoli, who works for the company. The final product will be installed in the epicenter of the NJIT campus near the Green where it will be visible to everyone. It will be a powerful marketing tool and bring great exposure to the CIM program. We would like to thank Dr. Basil Baltzis, Dean of NCE , and Dr. Ronald Rockland, Chair of Department of Engineering Technology for their review and approval of the project. Stay tuned for phase two of the project where the finished rook will be installed in its final location.
NJIT Media was highly enthusiastic about covering the pour. Ms. Tracey Regan, Department of Strategic Communication, and a professional photographer did an excellent job covering the work of the students. Allyn Luke, Manager of Concrete Laboratory, provided all the concrete testing equipment and facilitated the quality assurance. We extend our special thanks to Mr. Joe Tartaglia, Vice President for Facilities Management, Mr. Charlie Nieves, Manager of Physical Plant, for approving the use of the indoor facilities and the placement of the rook on the Green and their great support for the CIM program.

CIM Student Participants included: Narguis Benyamin,Alma Villalba,Robert Goncalves,Nicolas Denicoli, Vincent Del Vecchio, Jeremy Canniff, Justin Wheeler, Robert Samul, Mohamed Mohamed, Ralph Castel, David Jaramillo, Elvin Melendrez, and Fabian DeLaHoz.

feels great
Love the cut! Feminine :)I'm a size 12-14 and an XL fits perfectly with a little big of wiggle room to add layers. Fuzzy soft on the inside and warm. I have long arms and most jackets end up being 3/4 sleeve when I extend but not this one. The color is a TRUE purple plum... from the picture I was expecting a hint of redness almost like a maroon but it's still a nice deep purple color

Welcome to our company
English with Moon is a one-on-one oriented English Language program developed by Karl Moon, offering competitive prices for both online and offline learning. We don't use a standard lesson-plan for our sessions and instead prefer to teach to the specific needs of a client, every person is unique, why shouldn't every lesson? We believe the best way to learn is to feel like we're cared about and as a result we refuse to use standardised lesson planning.
The first session is a meet and greet where we learn about you, what it is that you do and why you want to improve your English and for what purpose. If it's because you're working with International clients, then we will focus our lessons to be specialised for that purpose. If it's because you're learning it already but want to improve on the finer points, then the lesson will be specifically for that purpose. No matter why, or for what reason, we know we can not just improve your English, but also increase your confidence. With our friendly teachers you have no reason to worry about imperfect English, we'll get you there.
We like to offer our clients a sense of convenience, so wherever you are, home, work, hotel or somewhere else, you are able to learn via our online lessons. A wide-range of available lesson times allow you to manage your classes and changes to your schedule as needed – no one can be free all the time, so we work around you. Because we offer online lessons you can start your lessons when you want and for as long as you need with our personalised sessions and learning packages, all available at an excellent price for a quality service.
I am so much more confident when speaking English thanks to Karl. Thank you.
— Susete
Even though I've worked in an English spoken work place for many years, English with Moon was able to help me improve.

A man whose identity has been disguised carries a giant bundle of marijuana.
Last month, the West Metro Drug Task Force found and eradicated what the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office describes as "a sophisticated outdoor marijuana grow operation in the Pike National Forest on Sugarloaf Mountain." Turns out a rancher was alerted to the weed field when searching for stray cattle who may or may not have been jonesing for a hit. What follows is a slideshow of JCSO photos showing Task Force members collecting over 5,100 plants, which weighed in at nearly one ton. No arrests have been made in the incident, presumably meaning that the perpetrators are still out there. They can be identified by their green thumbs. Captions by Michael Roberts.

professor of electrophysics in 1961, dean of engineering in 1974, university professor in 1978, and university professor emeritus in 1994. In 1975 his wife Sima died, and a few years later Leo learned that he suffered from a rare form of muscular dystrophy that slowly wasted away his muscular system. To live closer to his family, he substantially reduced his activities at the Polytechnic in 1994 and joined Boston University as a professor in the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department.
Leo was granted top-rank membership as life fellow in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA), and fellow of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA). He received many additional honors in his lifetime, which included a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1973, IEEE/APS Distinguished Lecturer in 1974, the Van der Pol Gold Medal from the International Radio Science Union (URSI) in 1975, the Humboldt Foundation Senior Scientist Award from the Federal Republic of Germany in 1980, the IEEE Centennial Medal in 1984, the IEEE Heinrich Hertz Gold Medal in 1991, the Antennas and Propagation Society Distinguished Achievement Award in 1998, and the IEEE Electromagnetics Award in 2003. In addition, he was granted many awards for distinguished papers authored or coauthored by him; also, he was honored with special recognition awards by academic institutes and professional societies for his excellence in teaching and research.
Throughout his career, Leo held named visiting professorships and fellowships and was invited to visit and lecture at distinguished universities and research institutes in the Soviet Union, Japan, China, Brazil, Korea, Israel, Germany, Turkey, Italy, and other European countries. In that context, he received honorary doctoral degrees from the Technical University of Denmark (1979); the University of Sannio, Italy (2003); the Technical University of Munich, Germany (2004); the Polytechnic University, New York (2005); and the Dogus University of Istanbul, Turkey (2005).

The Sundance Film Festival wrapped up on Sunday, a key step for several new movies — and faces — that will be hitting theaters in the next year. Titles acquired by studios include the Richard Gere-Susan Sarandon finance drama "Arbitrage," also featuring one of last year's breakout ingenues, Brit Marling; "Red Lights," the Sigourney Weaver-Robert De Niro paranormal thriller with past Sundance darling Elizabeth Olsen, and Josh Radnor's "Liberal Arts," also co-starring Olsen. Here are four fresh faces whose movies are also stirring up buyer buzz in Park City.
Starring in a gritty, low-budget Sundance film is one way to break out of a mainstream television mold. The tactic seems to have worked for 25-year-old Dreama Walker, who until now was best known for playing mean girl Hazel Williams on two seasons of "Gossip Girl." In "Compliance," directed by Craig Zobel, Walker plays a fast-food employee who falls victim to a prank caller. The film, which polarized audiences at the festival — some called it misogynistic and others praised the tension-filled plot, which was based on true events — was acquired by Magnolia Pictures on Saturday.
"I was interested in showing the perspective of a naïve young girl who felt as if she didn't have a choice," Walker said. "These people were not idiots. They were put in a horrible situation." She'll be switching gears to co-star in ABC's new comedy, "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23," which will follow "Modern Family" in April. "I'm all for proving women can be funny," said Walker, who plays a small-town girl living in New York City with a manipulative man-eater played by Krysten Ritter.
Since her first role as a drunken teen on "Law & Order," Walker has appeared in "Gran Torino" and "The Invention of Lying" and has three more films in the pipeline: the family dramedy "The Discoverers," the teen coming-out tale "Gay Dude" and the comedy "The Kitchen." "I am still at a place in my career where nobody sees me in a certain way, so I can do different things," she said.

(Updates with comment from Paterno's son in sixth paragraph.)
Nov. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Penn State University canceled football coach Joe Paterno's news conference less than an hour before it was scheduled to start amid a child-sex-abuse scandal involving a former assistant.
Paterno, 84, meets with journalists each Tuesday to discuss the upcoming game, this week against the University of Nebraska. Penn State had told reporters that no questions about the case involving former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky would be allowed.
"Due to the on-going legal circumstances centered around the recent allegations and charges, we have determined that today's press conference cannot be held and will not be re- scheduled," the school said in a statement.
Sandusky, 67, of State College, Pennsylvania, was freed on $100,000 bail over the weekend after being charged with sexual assaults or advances on eight boys from 1994 to 2009, when he ran The Second Mile, a charitable organization for young people, Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly said yesterday
Athletic Director Timothy Curley and Gary Schultz, interim vice president for finance and business, were arraigned Monday on charges that they failed to report alleged child sexual abuse by former defensive coordinator and for lying to a grand jury about their knowledge of the allegation.
Premature Report
Paterno's son, Scott, said a New York Times report that the school was planning his father's exit was premature. He also said on Twitter and in an interview with Fox's local television affiliate in Philadelphia that the school, not the coach, canceled the news conference. He told the station that his father wants to talk about the allegations against Sandusky, and that he would coach Saturday when the Nittany Lions play Nebraska.
Schultz, 62, retired and Curley, 57, requested administrative leave so that he could defend himself. They were both released on $75,000 bail. Their attorneys said they'll challenge the charges and expect to have their clients vindicated.
Kelly said Paterno, whose 409 wins are the most in major- college history, isn't a target of her office's investigation.
Outside Investigation
The Board of Trustees announced two days ago that it would hire an outside law firm to conduct a review of the school's policies to protect children, review police-reporting protocols with administrators and improve educational programming about such topics.
The Second Mile charity said in a statement on its Web site that Sandusky hasn't been involved in its programs involving children since November 2008, when he informed them he was being investigated. He maintained there was no truth to the claims.
Second Mile Chief Executive Jack Raykovitz told the grand jury he was contacted by Curley in 2002 and was told "an individual had reported to Mr. Curley that he was uncomfortable about seeing Jerry Sandusky in the locker room shower with a youth. Mr. Curley also shared that the information had been internally reviewed and that there was no finding of wrongdoing. At no time was The Second Mile made aware of the very serious allegations contained in the Grand Jury report."
School Listing
Sandusky, who is married and has six adopted children with his wife, Dottie, retired in 1999 but continued using the school's facilities. The school's online directory listed Sandusky, who was banned from campus over the weekend, as an assistant professor emeritus of physical education.
Sandusky has been aware of the allegations for three years and maintains his innocence, his attorney Joe Amendola said after their Nov. 5 court appearance.
Curley and Schultz allegedly received an eyewitness report of a 2002 sexual attack by Sandusky on a boy in the locker room shower and failed to report the incident to police, Kelly said. A graduate assistant, who estimated the boy's age at 10, first reported the incident to Paterno, who then went to Curley, according to prosecutors.

Featured Article
The General Assembly has passed a pair of bills aimed at closing the state's multimillion dollar budget deficit. But as WNPR's Ray Hardman reports, not everyone agrees the measures will fix the shortfall.
State lawmakers voted mainly along party lines to pass the Democrat's deficit mitigation plan, and a proposal to postpone cuts to the estate tax. The mitigation plan would make around $12.4 million in cuts, transfer millions of dollars from various funds, and maximize available federal funds.
Democratic leaders are hailing their plan, which they say will significantly shrink the deficit, while maintaining some 5,000 jobs they say would be cut in Governor Jodi Rell's mitigation plan. State House Speaker Chris Donovan says the General Assembly has done their part - the rest is up to the Governor:
"She gave us a total of 116 million dollars that we had to meet, we did meet that. She also, under her powers as governor can make some cuts as well, she's planning on doing that."
"It's disingenuous to say, 'Well now the governor has to go find it.'"
That's Governor Jodi Rell. She says she is disappointed that the legislature virtually ignored her own budget mitigation plan that would cut some $116 million in spending. Rell says yesterday's special session did very little to deal with the huge deficit facing the state:
"i gave them a plan last week that addressed the full budget deficit. They literally tinkered around the edges and did not make the full cut. So, they have left about 150 million dollars of red ink still flowing."
Governor Rell says she wants to read the Democrat's plan carefully before issuing a veto.It's unclear whether there are enough votes in the general assembly for a veto override.

Sometimes I read a post like "They should HANG all perps without a trial!" and I think of the poster down the line being investigated in a shooting he was in and the DA looking at that post, which he could subpoena - and likely would if he knew the person belonged to gun forums (and he could find out).
The DA would react with glee once he saw it. It shows a predisposing violent attitude that would not make the person look good.
So, it's likely a good idea if you have thoughts like that - even if you don't really mean them - to keep in mind any forum is on the Internet. Once on the internet, privacy is an illusion. I don't think I hide any impulses of mind I'm secret about, but I do remember I'm not alone just thinking. I'm writing to a public.
Anyway, thought I'd share my observation for what it's worth.
(By the way, as with anything just your own business, I don't think it's a good idea to post such things while at work using a company computer. For obvious reasons.)

French Door Install
Hi all. I've found a great deal on a used french entry door on craigslist. Unfortunately, where I would like to install the door, it would open into an area where a framed doorway into another room would be in the way--maybe. From finished floor to the top of the doorway measures 80". The door would have to swing under this doorway in order to be able to open all the way. But standard sized doors are 80".
Any work-around other than buying a custom sized door? |

The Congress on Saturday attacked the BJP for denying the WikiLeaks' disclosures about Arun Jaitley, one of its senior leaders, who had apparently told an American diplomat in May 2005 that Hindu nationalism was an opportunistic issue for the party.
Congress spokesperson Shakeel Ahmed said the BJP and Hindu ideological organisations like the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh always used religion for selfish gains.
"The things that have been revealed by WikiLeaks are identical to what people think," Mr. Ahmed said. "We have been saying that BJP and RSS, for their own selfishness, use religion to play with the sentiments of the people to gain votes."
The very people who had stated that the whistleblower was a "verifiable source and created chaos inside and outside Parliament against the Union government should ask Sushma Swaraj and L.K. Advani whether what the WikiLeaks said earlier was wrong or right."
While the BJP was willing to believe the WikiLeaks as long as it said damaging things about the Congress, the party denounced its revelations about its own leaders as incorrect.

Volunteer Cuddling
0Sep 25, '08 by scrabblernHi,
I work in a 30 bed family centered unit. I am pretty new to NICU but have worked in critical care previously. "My" NICU does not have volunteer cuddlers. We usually have only one or two techs in the unit and they are usually pretty busy. We have had a number of babies whose parents were not able to visit often. When nights are slow RNs will hold pts that are ok for holding but most nights can be pretty busy.
I took it upon myself to start developing a cuddling program. I am doing research, I've presented data to committees and hopefully will soon visit another NICU and maybe get some tips from their program.
So, my question to you is...
Does your unit have volunteer cuddlers? If so, what do they do? Are they allowed to hand swaddle patients in incubators?... or just hold OC babies? Can they hold intubated pts, unstable pts, or only stable pts?
How big is your unit and how many volunteers do you have? What kind of training have you provided for volunteers?
0Sep 25, '08 by MandaAndaWe don't have anything like that, and I could see it being very difficult to organise with the volunteers having to be health & safety and police (due to working with vulnerable patients) cleared first. And with the amount of nurses, doctors, visiting families that we already have on the unit, it would be very crowded.
We occasionally have babies that the parents don't come to visit, and if I'm looking after one of those babies (or even if I'm not but am not busy when the baby's nurse is), I make time to give that baby a cuddle, whether it be a break between all of my babies, when the baby is bottle-fed if it is, etc. We only ever really have four babies each, maximum, so I don't think it's too hard to find time if you want to. -
0Sep 25, '08 by ilstu99No. Our volunteers don't do any patient care. The only babies that our techs are allowed to hold are in cribs, so generally the grower/feeder population. Even then, we still practice developmental care and cluster our hands-on interventions. The only exceptions would be the kids that are closer to daycare, but we don't often have very many of those. So our need for a cuddling program would be pretty slim.
0Sep 25, '08 by NICUpleaseI am a nursing student that that will start volunteering in a NICU Cuddler Program at OU next month. I am soooo excited!!! The process for applicants are pretty lengthy with background checks, drug screenings, etc. New volunteers have to have an orientation/training session before they start. From what I understand, the volunteers can ONLY hold the babies. If they are in incubators and cannot be held we can put our hands through and provide some human touch. Vol can ONLY feed babies ready to be dc. I'm not sure exactly how many vol OU has but there were lmtd amt of spots available. Vol can volunteer anytime during the day. Most either do mornings or evenings. No one really volunteers at night but thats bc of choice not limitations. My schedule is every Sat from 4pm-10ish or longer if I choose to. I'll give you more info once I start. Hope this helps.
0Sep 25, '08 by RN4Little1sDoes your hospital have a volunteer program at all? In other areas? If so, they may be able to help with the screening/selection process - and then you could even be more picky. I think all of our volunteers had to be on another floor first (pediatric hospital) and then they could do NICU. They all wear the same color of shirt that clearly identifies them. When they hear a screaming baby, they offer their name and their services! They must sit in the chair and then we transfer the baby to them and put them away - no feeds or interventions allowed. Just holding, rocking, giving their paci, etc. They may not hold intubated babies, and they are not supposed to hold trachs but they do when nurses feel comfortable letting them.
0Sep 25, '08 by Preemienurse23We have one cuddler. Shes older, so she dosent come regular, though I wish she was able to. I love it when I have a screamer and I dont have the time to sit and hold them. She does wrap the kids with no IV's, but anything else, we wrap and hand to her. We only have her hold the kids in cribs. I'm not sure of the background checks, but I can find out. Some days I wish that I had a little more time. I had one over the weekend that just needed to be held, and I just didnt have the time with my other 2.
0Sep 25, '08 by canoeheadI used to be a NICU cuddler before I got my RN job, and if the NICU wasn't hopping I'd go down to other floors and help out. I think it helped my job application when I applied to the floor I helped out on most. I was able to cuddle, feed and change diapers.
The same hospital has volunteer grandparents. When families live far away, and can't stay with their child, a volunteer signs up and is committing to see that child so many times a week for the length of their stay. We used to get kids from 10-11 hours away, and parents can't stay if they have a job and other children in school. Some of the chronically ill kids would be there for months, and they got quite close to their Grampies and Gammies, and the relationship with the whole family would develop over time as they came back for tune ups.
If you are making a spot for cuddlers, make sure you have a spot for knitters and crocheters too. Some elderly can't make it in to cuddle, but they have a ball knitting blankets, hats, and finger puppets. My great aunt Berna (a retired nurse) would buy sweaters at yard sales, unravel them, and then crochet granny square afghans. There was some rivalry in her knitting club over who made the most and the prettiest blankets, and they mailed them in regularly. The lab supported a whole finger puppet industry. Every time a child got stuck they'd get to pick one. Get enough finger puppets, and popsicle sticks going and you had an invading army to mash your roommate with! -
0Sep 26, '08 by elizabellsNo, Stanley, do it! Our NICU doesn't use cuddlers, because our volunteers (and NAs, for that matter) aren't allowed to touch patients, but I'd love it if we did.
