This presentation by Dr Hochster includes discussion on the use of pemetrexed in the treatment of colorectal cancer which has not been approved by the FDA
Presenter: Howard S. Hochster, M.D.
Affiliation: New York University
Pemetrexed is a multi-targeted anti-folate similar in structure to methotrexate. It inhibits thymidylate synthase, dihydrofolate reductase and GARFT (glycinamide ribonucleotide formyl transferase). Intra-cellular poly-glutamation leads to greatly increased in-vitro activity. Single agent activity for pemetrexed has been shown in mesothelioma, non-small cell lung cancer and colorectal cancer in addition to several other primary tumors. The primary toxicity is hematologic. Neutropenia can be greatly reduced by folate and B12 supplementation during pemetrexed therapy.
Two multi-center trials have shown a 15-17% response rate for pemetrexed as a single agent in advanced colorectal cancer. Pemetrexed has been combined with irinotecan in several small phase I and II trials in pretreated colorectal cancer patients. With vitamin supplementation, full doses of pemetrexed and irinotecan are well tolerated with some responses observed. More phase II/III data are required to determine response rates and the existence of possible survival benefits with this combination.
Pemetrexed and oxaliplatin combinations for pretreated colorectal cancer patients have also been tested in the phase I/II setting. Preliminary data have shown response rates up to 28% with lower than expected toxicity. As vitamin supplementation was included in these trials, it has been hypothesized that higher chemotherapy doses may be tolerated and lead to even better response rates.
Future studies include randomized studies of pemetrexed/oxaliplatin vs. FOLFOX-4 as well as FOLFIRI vs. pemetrexed/irinotecan.
In conclusion, the relatively high single agent activity of pemetrexed, its favorable toxicity profile and convenient q 3 week dosing schedule make it attractive in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. It has been shown that pemetrexed is well tolerated with full doses of conventional chemotherapy agents. Phase II/III studies will help determine exactly where pemetrexed fits in the colorectal cancer treatment algorithm.
Oct 24, 2014 - For patients with untreated metastatic colorectal cancer, chemotherapy with fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan plus bevacizumab improves outcome versus fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan plus bevacizumab, according to a study published in the Oct. 23 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) regulate diverse cellular functions by cleaving ubiquitin from specific protein substrates. How their activities are modulated in various cellular contexts remains poorly understood. The yeast deubiquitinase Ubp8 protein is recruited and activated by the SAGA complex and, together with Sgf11, Sus1, and Sgf73, forms a DUB module responsible for deubiquitinating histone H2B during gene expression. Here, we report the crystal structure of the complete SAGA DUB module, which features two functional lobes structurally coupled by Sgf73. In the "assembly lobe," a long Sgf11 N-terminal helix is clamped onto the Ubp8 ZnF-UBP domain by Sus1. In the "catalytic lobe," an Sgf11 C-terminal zinc-finger domain binds to the Ubp8 catalytic domain next to its active site. Our structural and functional analyses reveal a central role of Sgf11 and Sgf73 in activating Ubp8 for deubiquitinating histone H2B and demonstrate how a DUB can be allosterically regulated by its nonsubstrate partners.

Taste Of Estes April 17th
This is the 30th year of this Estes Park tradition, an event that combines philanthropy, food, and fun in that way only this town can.
For those of you unfamiliar with the event, Taste of Estes is a fundraising event for the Estes Park Quota Club that is wholly supported by the restaurants that participate. Restaurants offer samples of their favorite dishes, and guests have the rare opportunity to try a 'taste' of over 20 entrées in one night–all for just $18 in advance, $20 at the door.
Participating restaurants this year are Peppers Mexican Grill, The View, Estes Park Pie Shop, The Egg & I, Grandma's Mountain Cookies, LongZ Grill at Rocky Mountain Park Inn, Oskar Blues, The Dunraven Inn, Cables Pub and Grill, Smokin' Dave's BBQ and Taphouse, Starbucks, El Mex-Kal, The Big Horn Restaurant, Cheesy Lee's Amazing Pizza, Molly B's, Wild Rose Food and Spirits, Notchtop Café, The Stanley Hotel, Sweet Basilico Café, YMCA of the Rockies and Mountain Strong restaurant.
A fun addition to Taste of Estes is Quota Club's drawing for a one of a kind, artist crafted flower pot or birdhouse which are now on display at MedX. At the front desk, you can purchase tickets to enter the drawing to win one of these lovely creations.
On the day of the Taste, Quotarians will move the pots and birdhouses over to the Conference Center where you'll have another opportunity to enter the drawing which will be held that evening. The winners names will be drawn at the end of the night and those who win will be able to take their wonderful new artisan crafted flower pot or birdhouse home with them.
Proceeds from ticket sales support numerous community service projects, including key funding for new ambulances. Quota's impact extends to everyone. Projects include improving laundry facilities for assisted living facilities and high school driving safety projects. They provide scholarships for aspiring adult students, and the life-changing gift of hearing aids. If you break your leg and need to borrow some crutches or a hospital bed at no cost, Quota Club has a loan closet that can provide that equipment. Quota's projects affect everyone in Estes Park.
Chances are, you or someone you know has been positively affected by one of Quota's projects. Thank them by filling up on some of Estes Park's best food. The restaurants are going to a lot of work to bring you an unmatched evening of tasty samples, and it's a night you won't soon forget!
Tickets are now available at the Estes Park Visitor's Center, Macdonald Book Shop, Poppy's Pizza and Grill, Estes Park News, MedX of Estes or from any Quota member.
Join us at The Rocky Mountain Park Inn, from 5:30-8 p.m., for the 30th Taste Of Estes. You'll be wonderfully full and you'll spend a great night with this community. And you will be helping Quota Club continue doing what they do so very well.

Anipa caused a minor shock in the Weatherbys Private Banking Cheshire Oaks when continuing her progression with a gritty success.
Coming in off the back of two previous wins, Roger Varian's filly was nibbled at in the market but was still sent off at 16-1 under Andrea Atzeni.
The winner is not in the Oaks at Epsom and would need to be supplemented.
Varian said: "She's a tough filly who keeps improving and having won at Windsor we thought she'd handle the track, which is why we came here.
"We were hoping to finish in the first three and I'm delighted she's won.
"At this stage, we wouldn't commit (to an Oaks run). We'll see how she comes out of the race. She does keep improving and surprising us a little bit, which is nice.
"I would think the Ribblesdale is the race to go for. Mr Bizakov (owner) is here and obviously I'll have a discussion with him, but I think the Ribblesdale is the likelihood (rather than Epsom).
"I'd be surprise if she was supplemented at this stage, but we'll have a discussion."
Mukhmal defied the highest draw of all in stall 10 to win the Manor House Stables Lily Agnes Conditions Stakes and book his ticket to Royal Ascot.
Mark Johnston's youngster was giving 6lb and more away to his rivals and had to come around the whole field before grabbing the rail after breaking smartly.
"It takes some doing (from that draw)," said winning jockey Paul Hanagan.
"I can't remember the last time I was drawn 10 of 10 here and won like that."
When asked if he felt the winner was Ascot material, he replied: "Yes."
The Norfolk Stakes is the likely target for Mukhmal at the Royal meeting.
Sir Maximilian (7-1) showed plenty of speed to swoop from behind and capture the Stellar Group Handicap.
Trainer Tim Pitt said: "Chester was the plan, I wanted to go for a seven-furlong race on Friday but I don't think he would have got in so this has worked out well."
Prince Of Stars justified 11-8 favouritism as he claimed the Boodles Diamond Maiden Stakes for John Gosden and William Buick.
As a son of Sea The Stars out of top-class filly Queen's Logic, he certainly boasts a Classic pedigree but had been very green on his first racecourse outing.
Gosdon said: "He's a promising colt and he definitely stays a mile and a quarter - I wouldn't want to bring him back in trip or step him up."
Swan Song (5-1), a daughter of the great Lochsong, showed her mother's speed to win the Stella Artois Conditions Stakes.
Trainer Andrew Balding said: "Jeff (Smith, owner) was adamant that she should remain in training and would improve.
"She's come back and fair play to Jeff, he was entirely right and it was his decision.
"She's always gone well at home, she has shown stacks of speed and she's a charming filly apart from at the stalls. She could keep on improving."
Balding and jockey David Probert made it a double in the last two races as relentless galloper Storm Force Ten (3-1 favourite) stuck on strongly to overhaul Swivel and just hold the charge of Captain Morley to claim the Diabetes UK Handicap.

18 Ways Teachers Can Use Google+ Hangouts. Whether you teach online classes or just love bringing social media and technology into the classroom, Google offers up some amazing tools to help you get students thinking, learning, connecting, and sharing.
One of the newest, and perhaps the coolest, additions to Google's suite of online tools is the recently updated Google+ Hangouts. Through Hangouts, up to ten users can video conference at once, and the service is easily connected to existing Google+ circles, offering up a whole host of exciting ways teachers can make use of it for educational applications. If you haven't tried out Google+ Hangouts yet, take the time to learn more about it and consider some of these amazing ways you can use it to add to your existing curriculum and make class time easier, more fun, and a more rewarding experience for you and your students alike. 25 Great Google+ Tips for Teachers. Some schools are just getting on board with Facebook and Twitter, but now there's a new kid in town: Google+, a social network poised to make a difference, especially for educators.
Google+ is different from other social networks in that it allows you to carefully limit who you're sharing information with, while at the same time opening up resources for finding information across the entire network. With these features and more, the relatively new service offers a great option for teachers interested in social media. Whether you've spent some time with it or you're brand new, these 25 tips can help you maximize your use of Google+ for the classroom and beyond. Will Google+ Replace Twitter or Facebook for Teachers? Digital Tools It's been almost two weeks since the launch of the "field trial" of Google's new social network, Google Plus.
As the hype grows, more and more people are receiving their invitations to the service, and in turn, there are an increasing number of discussions about how Google Plus might work for teaching and learning. (Take a look at this collaborative Google Doc that lists all the ways the social network site could work with students and teachers.) The early consensus seems to be that Google Plus has a lot of potential, with services that could aid collaboration and communication in the classroom. Google+ and Privacy: Better for Educators? One of the biggest ongoing concerns surrounding social networking continues to be questions of privacy -- users' private conversations or users' personal data exposed, whether as a result of error, negligence, or intent.
So when Google unveiled its new social network Google Plus, it wasn't surprising to see the search engine position Google Plus as an antidote to the "sloppy," "scary," and "insensitive" sharing options -- in other words, the lack of privacy -- it pointed to on other social networks. Google actually never mentions "privacy" outright in its blog post introducing Google Plus, but that's certainly the subtext, as it positions itself as an alternative to Facebook, the dominant social network, but a site that has had a long string of privacy snafus. And the promise of better privacy is one of many things that could make Google Plus an appealing site for educators. How are Educators Using Google Plus Hangouts? Digital Tools Phillip Torrone As more people join Google's new social network, Google+, they're figuring out how to take advantage of some of the innovative uses for the site.
One obvious use for educators is to boost their personal and professional network, particularly as the service offers more granular controls for privacy and sharing. Google Plus and the Future of Sharing Educational Resources. It's been almost three weeks since the launch of Google Plus and in what is probably a good sign for the future success of the new social network, we haven't stopped talking about it yet. There's been a steady flow of discussion about how and if Google Plus will work, and I'm seeing more and more blog entries, Tweets, and of course G+ posts about the potentials for Google Plus in education. In the case of education, the early reviews all seem fairly positive. Google Plus: Is This the Social Tool Schools Have Been Waiting For?
There seem to be three forces at play when it comes to education and social media.
The first is a lack of force, quite frankly - the inertia that makes many educators unwilling and uninterested in integrating the technology into their classrooms. The second is the force of fear - the pressures on the part of administrators, district officials, and politicians to curtail and ban teacher and students' interactions online. (See Rhode Island's recently passed legislation that outlaws all social media on school grounds as a case in point.) And finally, the third force is that of more and more educators who are embracing social media and advocating its use on- and off-campus - for student learning and for teacher professional development alike.
I spent this past week with many of those teachers at the International Society for Technology in Education conference in Philadelphia, and when Google unveiled Google+ on Tuesday, most of us were otherwise preoccupied. Google Hangouts: Now with Google Docs Integration, Now Even Better for Edu. When Google launched its new social network, Google Plus earlier this summer, there was a flurry of stories about the site's potential for education.
I confess, I penned a few: But as the summer waned on and the initial buzz over the site died down, it became less clear whether Google Plus would have the momentum going into the school year to appeal to returning teachers and students. Some of the pieces to make the site successful in an academic setting were (and still are) missing: namely integration with Google Apps for Education. The current 18-and-over age policy doesn't help much either.
Hangouts: Video Communication and Collaboration But Google announced a number of updates to Google Plus this morning that do point to the great potential the site still could have for teaching and learning.

Internet Explorer 9 was introduced last week, the final version I guess. It was my understanding Comcast was not going to support it until the final version was introduced.
Any idea when it will be supported? I don't want to install it until it's supported.
I've never seen Comcast offer support for a new browser quickly, following it's final release. You might be waiting quite awhile to install IE9.
Need Email Help? Please post the following information in your post.
Do you use XfinityConnect? The Full or Lite version?
Do you use an email client? Which one? (Eg; Windows Live mail, Outlook, a smartphone etc.)
Which browser/version do you use? And- have you cleared your browser cache?
Which operating system? XP, Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS X
Details of the problem you are having.
DON'T INSTALL IT UNTIL YOU'RE TOLD BY COMCAST THAT IT'S COMPATIBLE!!!! I did and then was unable to access the internet! (Reported a couple of missing files which I could not find to install). Clicking on the IE9 icon got no response. I had to remove IE9 and then re-install Win7 to get the internet back up and running.....but I was also left with the necessity of re-installing numerous programs, etc. because of the re-installation. WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are no issues accessing the internet from Internet Explorer 9 from Comcast.
There is, however, an issue with posting in the Comcast forums. Until the issue with Lithium and IE ( are resolved you will need to either use an alternate browser, or hold off installing IE 9.
I use Firefox 4.0 as my primary browser, but I also have IE9 installed.
Added: If you run IE 9 in compatibility mode for forums.comcast.net, it will function as expected.
After installing IE9 my comcast home page is "requiring" a flash player upgrade. The active x install doesn't work and a manual install of Flash Player does not resolve this issue. Still request upgrade. Have tried several times. uninstalling IE9 and using IE8 solves the assue.
04-16-2011 08:46 PM - edited 04-16-2011 08:47 PM
What is the home page URL that is giving you the request to upgrade?
Also, what version of Windows are you using?
Using Windows 7

Thanks, LPP. I could not figure out why I could not post. Lets see if this works. If it does, I will edit.
Success! IE9 in compatiblilty mode lets me post. The compatability mode is invoked by the icon in the address bar that looks like a line graph.
There is an ad there that uses Flash. I just checked and have no problems. WIndows 7 SP1, ULT, IE9.
Use Program and Features control panel to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player Active X. Do not uninstall the plugin if you have it, It's used for Firefox.
Then download and reinstall the current version. It was just release and you'll find it here:
Blue Two, instead of using the compatibility mode icon in the address bar each time, you can do the following:
While on a forum page, choose Tools at the top of the page.
Click on Compatibility View Settings.
You should see the forum URL listed in the box under Add this website.
If not add the URL of the page.
Click Add, then Close.
It's set to always view in compatibility mode.
Comcast employees must be authorized to post in the forum in an official capacity. Employees posting here have their names in red and are designated as employees. Names not in red are customers.
This is done to protect customers and for assurance that they are dealing with a Comcast employee.
Non-Authorized Employees are allowed to post but cannot state they are employees nor can they allude to being employees.
I am using Internet Explorer 9 right now but I am having trouble accessing my email folders (screen changes and freezes) so I am going back to version 8
Did you try compatibility View already?
Need Email Help? Please post the following information in your post.
Do you use XfinityConnect? The Full or Lite version?
Do you use an email client? Which one? (Eg; Windows Live mail, Outlook, a smartphone etc.)
Which browser/version do you use? And- have you cleared your browser cache?
Which operating system? XP, Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS X
Details of the problem you are having.
I did try compatibility view but with no success. I am back to using IE 8 and can log in fine now.
-I, downloaded IE9- it is a complete mess. Went Back to IE8.

Gypsies, The Little Tramp and Thieves
By Gordon WeissFebruary 22, 2012
What do Charlie Chaplin, 654 Australians, grey nomads, Henry Lawson and a winter crime wave have in common?
When Charlie Chaplin received a letter from another old man in 1971, he secreted it in a locked drawer. Perhaps bemused by a sliver of an unknowable past, he certainly was not muted by shame. Read by the great comedian's daughter after his death in 1977, the letter gave evidence of a Roma lineage, already asserted by Chaplin in his autobiography. But the letter's author went further. He claimed that far from an East London debut, The Little Tramp had been born "under the wheel" of a caravan, to use a Romani phrase, at the sooty edge of Birmingham in a Roma community known as the Black Patch.
Romany Songlines in Sydney, Australia
In suburban Sydney in 2012, at the Coach and Horse pub in Randwick, the barmaid hollers, "Oy, Gypsy!" to a 45-year-old patron. "I was born in the back of a Ford Zephyr," says Thomas Hern. "Afterwards, my father sold it. That's the Gypsy way, like burning the caravan." Even comfortably slouched, Hern's bright green eyes preserve the quick light of his first profession: touring boxer. "But the word 'Gypsy' should never be used by anybody who's not a Gypsy." That advice Hern shares from lips poised above a schooner of midday Guinness. "It's OK for us to call each other that. It's not an insult." Exceptions — such as the barmaid at his favourite watering hole— obviously are tolerated.
Sydney's Daily Telegraph also is not coy. A series of articles over the past few years have highlighted what the paper calls "Gypsy clans," arriving annually in Australia. "They may be illiterate but they are rat cunning and it gets handed down from generation to generation," says an unnamed investigator. The "Bitumen Bandits" use stand-over tactics, targeting old people and flood-affected homeowners with high-pressure offers to fix roofs and re-surface driveways. The menace is real. The gangs, some with records for violent crimes in the UK and Ireland, have fleeced vulnerable and gullible Australians of millions of dollars. But are we talking Gypsies?
"It's articles like that that make people frightened," say 46-year-old Yvonne Slee, a Queensland-based Roma from Essingen in southern Germany. "When these were published, my son was called 'Gypsy' at school. Once I explained who the Roma are, everything was OK." She notes with alarm an impending Brisbane skinhead festival. The faux-Nazi website Blood and Honour Australia promises a better future for the white race. It also awakens Slee's instincts for racial persecution, sharpened by her German youth. Speaking about last month's European release of Kriegerin, a film about neo-Nazi gangs, the German film director David Wnendt said, "The views of the extreme right are becoming increasingly acceptable in mainstream society."
In Europe, "Gypsy" is still a dirty word, and a dangerous one. There are now an estimated 12 million Roma worldwide, with perhaps as many as five million spread throughout Europe and Turkey. In a paper called The Pariah System, the Roma academic Ian Hancock of the University of Austin, Texas, mapped the anti-Roma dogma that is so intimately entwined with European history, from the church and princely-sanctioned persecutions of the 15th century, to the pseudo-scientific racial writings of 19th century nationalists.
The culminating point was, of course, World War II, when the Roma were scheduled for destruction in Nazi concentration camps and by military death squads. In early 1940, some 250 Roma children were among the first victims of a series of experiments conducted by German doctors at the Buchenwald concentration camp. The children all died after several days when exposed to Zyklon-B crystals. In the following years, gas was used to kill millions of European Jews. Known to the Roma as the Parrajmos, or great devouring, perhaps as many as a million and a half European Roma died too.
The global financial crisis has peeled back the thin veneer of modern Europe's tolerance for the Roma. In Italy in 2008, a photo of an Italian couple calmly sun baking within a stone's throw of two drowned Roma girls on an Italian beach inspired an outcry. In the past few years there has been a sharp rise in anti-Roma violence in Hungary. Recently in Slovakia the state funded a wall to separate the majority Roma population from their Slavic neighbours in the town of Ostrovany. In a 2011 poll 81 per cent of Czechs thought that coexistence with the Roma was "problematic". Far-right parties have rioted against the Roma in Czech and Bulgarian towns.
Police raids on Roma encampments in Italy and France, as well as forced deportations, have continued for the past few years. When France expelled 8,000 Bulgarian and Romanian Roma, European Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding said this was a situation she "hoped Europe would not have to witness again after World War Two." In October 2011, The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe warned that attacks on Roma "by extremist groups threatens not only the physical security of individuals but… also the overall stability and credibility of our States."
"We're like the Aboriginals," says Hern, pausing over his stout. "Our culture doesn't fit with modern societies. But really we're Indians," he says, flourishing proof of the Roma's sub-continental roots with a count to five in Hindi and Romani. Beginning in the 11th century, the Roma are thought to have been displaced multiple times, driven first into Persia from northern India by the invasions of the Mughals, then onto Ottoman territory, arriving in Europe some time around the 14th century.
Europeans thought the dusky-skinned Roma were Egyptians, and called them as much: Gypsies. The sheer weight of social forces arrayed against a nomadic Asiatic tribe wandering across the shifting jigsaw of Europe's borders for half a millennia is testament to the stubborn strength of Roma culture. In the popular European imagination, the Roma always have been figures of romantic fantasy and disdain, from Bizet's dancing seductress in Carmen to the Tintin comic book The Castafiore Emerald, in which a campsite of Roma is harassed by local townspeople and accused of theft. "If people ask me where I'm from, I say I'm Welsh," says Hern, laughing. "That way, if anything goes missing…"
In 1991, the Australian actor Jack Thompson returned from the UK with a fretworked Gypsy caravan, which he later donated to the Powerhouse Museum. The symbol of the caravan has been recognised by the Roma as their universal cultural signature, with a spoked-wheel emblem the centrepiece on the international Roma flag. Caravans were colourfully decorated and kept scrupulously clean. When an owner died, the caravan was burned, along with his belongings. On late-Victorian roads, Roma caravans were a common sight, and the first recreational caravan — forerunner of today's Grey Nomads — was built in 1886. Most caravans had little stoves.
"Gypsies won't tell you these things, but every Gypsy man can cook," says 74-year-old Romano Solo. When the Powerhouse acquired its caravan, Solo was called upon to perform a Roma rite of blessing. His neat, fibro-clad house in Sydney's western suburbs preserves Roma traditions, such as the his 'n' hers washing machines that once washed his clothes separately from those of his Greek Roma wife of 51 years, now deceased. With women forbidden from cooking during moxadi, or menstruation, every Roma man is a chef for at least a few days each month. "But we avoid barbecues," Solo says. "Gypsies believe that evil resides in the shadow of men, and we won't touch meat over which a man's shadow has passed."
Solo dates the arrival in Australia of his forbears from the 1850s. "Gypsies like my grandfather took to droving, because it came naturally to them," he says. Solo worked as a detective for a few years in the 1950s until his Roma mother told him he was turning hard. "Apart from strict rules on hygiene and diet, there are rules on ethics. The thing a Gypsy fears most is merreme, banishing from the campfire." He describes his book, Gypsy Pie, as a lament for the Roma past. "We had no armies, no land, just Romanstan, the land under our feet and in our hearts." Each year at Sofala, a small rural New South Wales gold-rush town, he joins an influx of Roma revellers, horses and freshly manufactured motorised caravans to recall that past.
Tinkers, singers, thieves, horse-traders, dancers, acrobats, palm-readers, prostitutes, restaurant violinists, nomads, and permanent oddities speaking a foreign babble at the edge of towns — all are true and untrue. The many dialects of the Roma and their dizzying caste and kinship networks, both defy easy definition and yet characterize the Roma as one of the most singular and fascinating global cultures. Following World War II, there was an outpouring of Macedonians, Greeks, Czechs, Italians and others to the New World, and the Roma went with them. They masked their ethnicity with European passports, discarding to a greater or lesser degree the burden of their heritage.
The first Roma almost certainly arrived in Australia 1790, when Lazarus Scamp was transported to New South Wales for stealing a sheep. Henry Lawson, who wrote of "a dash of Gypsy blood," is said by at least one genealogist to have been part Roma, a fact disputed by his descendants. Jan Wenger, great-great-granddaughter of an English Roma who migrated to Australia in the late 19th century, is a Queensland academic who recently mounted a Cairns exhibition of Roma references in Australian history. "It's impossible to know how many people are Roma, or have Roma ancestry," Wenger says. "But if you look at the Australian regional papers over the past 150 years, there are articles on bands of Gypsy musicians turning up in country towns."
At the Swiss Grand Hotel in Sydney's Bondi, the silver pencil inscription beneath an antique photo hanging on the wall shows Roma enjoying the beach long before the hotel was thought of: "Gypsies Bondi 1900." In June 1902, the Bathurst Free Press and Mining Journal describes 40 people who "claim to be Greek" being stopped from crossing state boundary lines. "The men wore a profusion of gold coins as buttons," and customs official Mr Darcy considered them "Mexicans of Greek descent, like the class camped at Bondi."
"We have the secret name we are born with, the name we travel with, and the name we use when speaking with the police," says John Scarriot with a loud laugh. Scarriot is an 83-year-old Romanichal, or English Roma, who now lives in Kwinana, Western Australia. Trained as a steeplejack in his native Leicester, his parents and seven siblings migrated in 1937 to Australia, where he worked as a coppersmith and rigger. "The old people, we're all dying out, and the young people don't give a damn anymore about Roma culture, the language," he says.
And yet, with such a troubled past in their countries of origin, it's no surprise that just 654 people living in Australia claimed 'Roma' as their ethnicity in the 2006 census. Janos "Rigo" Bedak is one. On the front door of his Bondi apartment, in a burst of irony perhaps, a metallic strip warns "NO HAWKERS." Rigo (which means Black Bird) is 74 years old and proud to be called Gypsy. "Gypsy, Gypsy, yes I'm a Gypsy." Born in Hungary to a family of musicians, the considerable wings of this retired acrobat and boxer are clipped by old age, but his laugh rises from his heart as he describes his upbringing.
"The Hungarian white people, they don't like the Gypsies. They love their music, but they don't want to live with them," says Rigo. "But I was okay, I was strong and fought back. And I wanted to be an artist." At 12, Rigo became a trapeze artist and caravanned across Central Europe. "My family loved me in the circus."
In 1956, when Soviet forces invaded to crush the Hungarian uprising, 17-year-old Rigo escaped. In Sydney, he worked as a silver service waiter in restaurants including the Chelsea and the Bourbon and Beefsteak in Sydney. "If I asked people if they were Gypsy they would probably say no, even if they were," he says. Roma activists believe that the true figure of Roma and their descendants in Australia is possibly in the hundreds of thousands.
In Australia, the outward signs of what may be a considerable Roma presence are still vague. Rigo's daughter, Sarah Bedak, is a singer with the Sydney-based band Lolo Lovina. While her brother, a Sydney playwright, regards himself as Jewish, she left her Marrickville home to spend a year living in a small village in Serbia, learning the language and music of the Roma that she hadn't learned from her father. In the words and melodies of Rigo's past, and with a heritage of Roma violinists, Sarah's music provides a semblance of living Roma culture in modern Australia.
And what of the supposed seasonal "Gypsy" raids on Australia? Those apprehended by police have been predominantly Irish nationals, and are probably Irish Travellers, nomads related to a long-displaced Celtic tribe speaking Shelta (a creole Irish tongue), who have roamed Ireland for centuries. Along with the recent phenomenon of New Age Travellers, they share the English and Scottish campsites that were traditionally set aside by British authorities for Roma families. "Djelem, djelem — I've travelled, I've travelled," says Hern, who now works as a high-rise window cleaner in Sydney's central business district. "But I go to work every day, hanging off a building. I've got children to feed, same as everybody else."
The Karavan! Festival at The Standard, Taylor Square Sydney, March 10, features Lolo Lovina, and a lineup that includes Roma bands from Turkey and Serbia.

Pizza Mike's Says Goodbye — The Great Food Truck Race
by Sarah De Heer in Shows, September 2nd, 2012The third season of The Great Food Truck Race took the remaining six trucks to Amarillo, Texas, this week, and while the contestants are starting to learn the ropes of the food truck industry, they weren't without newbie difficulties this challenge. With a grand prize of $50,000 on the line and the chance to keep their truck, each team tries to pull out all their tricks to stay in the game, but ultimately one truck must go each week. Every Sunday night, FN Dish will bring you exclusive exit interviews with the latest Food Truck contestants to get the boot.
There's no doubt Pizza Mike's is used to hardship: Mike's restaurant career ended three years ago with a fire that destroyed his restaurant completely. But that didn't stop him. Along with friends Pat and Gino, Mike battled through challenges on his food truck, and Pizza Mike's even secured second-place spots two weeks in a row. Even though they had to hand their keys back to Tyler this week, this team has much to be proud of and many lessons to take back with them.
Tyler gave each truck $500 worth of seed money this week, and you followed up by saying, "I can make $500 last three or four days." You ran out of food during the first challenge while everyone still had strong lines. What happened?
The first challenge was to create and sell a ballpark special at the Amarillo Sox baseball stadium, where we served our Italian beef sandwich. I don't think you can get more all-American than baseball and beef. We were prepared to sell over the weekend and our pizza crust was being prepared by a local baker. Considering the "curve ball" Tyler threw at us, and having no pizza to sell on a pizza truck, we were behind probably a few hundred dollars compared to the others. At that point I really wasn't too upset because we had the entire weekend left, and I was confident we could make up for it.
The reason we ran out of food was because we were busy, and I believe we outsold the others at that point. We did have some waste that wouldn't happen in my restaurant. This was attributed to using a flat-top grill to grill pizza instead of baking it. Along with Under the Crust, we were the only team that needed to bake our products.
Between running out of food and having a boot on your car, your team was up against some pretty difficult barriers this week. In the end, you were only $400 apart from the second-to-last-place team. Did you ever try to use social media (Twitter, Facebook) to raise awareness of your location?
The boot was the killer because we had three great locations lined up for Sunday. First, we started out near a huge church on the outskirts of Amarillo, but it was too far off the grid. So that put us behind the eight ball time-wise. Next, we drove back into town to a great family event called Muttfest, a dog festival in a park with very few competing vendors. It was awesome. We were doing about $300 an hour. For the few hours we had left, the plan was to meet up with the other trucks for the final three hours. But, when they put the boot on us, we knew we were in trouble.
Looking back, using Facebook and Twitter to get the word out might have helped some, but I don't believe it would have been enough to keep us in the race. Besides, at that time we were just learning about social media and weren't too savvy with it, to say the least. Remember, Pat tagged us the "Rolling Grandpas." All we needed was more time at any one spot this weekend and we would have been moving on in the competition.
What do you consider the most important tool in the food truck industry: active social media accounts or the perfect location?
I still believe location is the most important factor in being a successful food truck operator, after the quality of your food, of course. I know social media is changing the way the world communicates, but if you're in a bad location or your food is poor quality, Twitter and Facebook won't make people track you down or build repeat sales.
Any plans for a Pizza Mike's brick-and-mortar or food truck in the future?
Yes! Actually, my truck is being completed as we speak. It is outfitted with double-deck stone Blodgett ovens, just like I had in my restaurant in Westerville, Ohio. So, Pizza Mike's will be taking it to the streets real soon. We even have a Twitter and Facebook page now!
We thank Tyler for a great experience and a wonderful adventure.

Its all about stratgy.But Pizza Mike,did their best.That's all it matters.However,I'm still glad that Seoul Sausage are still in the game.I really want them to win.Altough,its hard to tell who would go home next.Because I thought for the finale it was gonna be Pizza Mike Vs Seoul Sausage.But I guess I was wrong.Now the next one going home.I'm just gonna guess it might be Momma's Grizzzly.Just from the preview I saw for next week episode.Plus from the tone of Tyler's voice.When he was refering with two common mistake.I'm not sure though.But hey I loved this show.
This was a great show. I did feel so bad for Pizza Mike. He has been through so much. Hopefully the confidence shot he received in this show will help motivate him to continue what he does so well when he gets home. By the way, does anyone know what time of year this season was filmed? I live in Fayetteville, AR! Wish I had known they had been here.
I think Pizza Mike definitely got hosed here. The point of a food truck is to be mobile and follow the crowds. That is exactly what they planned to do. Immobilizing the trucks was an unfair and unrealistic action to take. Challenging them by forcing menu changes at the last minute is one thing, but preventing them from following the crowds totally invalidates the point of a food truck. They should have planned better at the ballpark the first night, but they would have made up the money difference if they had been able to move as they planned.
I totally agree. What's up with booting the trucks? That's unfair and bad form! I don't believe the show has resorted to this before, have they?
Bogus… Since this show is called THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE, should sales not be cumulative??? To have a team that has killed it the first two weeks get screwed by the show is just bogus.
Since I know who the final 2 trucks will be, I keep looking for the telltale signs that indicate a group will be eliminated. Pizza Mike was pretty obvious. In fact, this 3rd season is pretty bad for a number of reasons, including that none of the trucks seem to really be making an effort to make one or two special dishes. In fact, they seem to be making the same dishes over and over: kimchee balls, etc. which was one of the things I liked about past seasons where you could see new dishes. I know that these are supposed to be "newbies", but that doesn't stop them from making things from scratch or making a really special dish. They only seem to try that on the special guest contest. In addition, they complain and whine and seem to want TV time to promote themselves, not be concerned about food. I can't honestly root for any of the trucks. BTW, I think this was filmed in May/June.
At least it wasn't as bad as last season. The trucks then were worse and had cutthroats and cheaters. I only noticed whiny behavior from two of this season's trucks. So far I'm pulling for Seoul Sausage. They're cool guys, have been winning every leg so far, and has made more money than most if not all of the trucks from the past two seasons. Go Seoul Sausage.
Newbies or not, how about some business sense … or at least common sense? Could not believe the 3 Nona's girls closing down for an hour so they could go buy new food supplies! Why not send one person in the smaller car, leaving 2 to cook and manage the truck's business?
yes that would have been ideal :) but all of the team members are required to stay together
These shows are too hokey. Let's throw an ingredient at you you dont use and ses if you make it taste good. Hell throw them some old shoes and see if they can make it taste like a Tyler Florence Applebys steak, probably could match the last meal I had there! How about letting them do their own menu and judge sales only, good food draws money and followers.
For being professional cooks, I was disappointed to see that Coast of Atlanta bought a lot of pre-made foods this episode.
In one of the other episodes they decided not to help one of the other teams by showing them the safety list. I know it's a competition, but it's a cooking competition. That would have been good Karma for them.-
On that note, Momma Grizzly bought a lot of pre-made food as well. That was very disappointing…
I don't think they had a choice. They were on a budget.
Wouldn't buying premade foods be more expensive – I would have to reference restaurant impossible and Robert Irving who stresses that fresh is best and cheaper.
Just Saying??!!!??
you are assuming that these people can actually cook and are not just in it for the fame – 3 days to open ???
Point taken. But what about creating foods that need multiple ingredients? And sometimes foods like seafood is more expensive fresh than canned. Some fresh foods are cheap yet some aren't.
I've been voting for fan favorite and am wondering how eliminating teams from the vote will result in a true fan favorite? Won't the only team left be the winning team? Should we even bother?
voting here is just like DWTS and/or American Idol … think about it
I was surprised to see pizza guys go home so soon. I think their biggest problem was not making enough money at the ball game. Even though they got booted they seemed to do pretty well there. I'm disappointed to see how many of the "chefs" are using pre-packaged food. The nonnas girls with no experience are the only team that have had nice variation in their menu and seem to be doing everything from scratch so props to them. seouls food looks great but they keeping frying rice which costs nothing. mammas using rotisserrie chicken is just gross!!

Your safest, more efficient alternative to toxic solvent parts washing!
Why is BIO-CIRCLE so efficient?
Bio-Circle is a proven alternative to traditional solvent cleaners, with thousands of industrial users worldwide having adopted this new method. Self-renewing Bio-Circle L cleaning solution combined with the latest technology parts washers guarantee removal of oil and grease while maintaining cleaning efficiency over time.
Some of our satisfied customers feedback
Jay Leno
Jay Leno's Big Dog Garage
"The model we try to have here at the garage is 'do no harm.' We like restoring cars and we like to do it in as green a way as possible. With that in mind, I try to find parts cleaners that don't harm the environment. …Normally I always think the stronger the solvent, the better the cleaning, and of course it's harsh on your hands, but Bio-Circle doesn't work that way. …The secret is in the solution. It sits in this thing overnight, and it actually cleans itself. That's pretty good."
David Beaudin
Process Manager-Deragon Ford
"We have acquired a Bio-Circle parts washer system more than two months ago and we will not go back to working with solvents and the health risks that go with it. Everyone agrees that the Bio-Circle parts washer system is more efficient than solvents, plus it has an odour of green apples which is appreciated. The liquid maintains its colour, whereas with solvents the colour changes rapidly and so does the performance."
Rick Flello
Manager Ground Support Maintenance - Servisair (Vancouver Intl. Airport)
"We have been using the 10-200 Bio-Circle system for about 6 months now and I must say that I'm very pleased with the performance of the unit. From the very first use the mechanics have raved about the effectiveness and safety of the solution, for a few dollars more a month than regular solvents and the fact you don't need to change it makes this a simple decision. I would not hesitate to recommend this unit to anyone who is looking for a better, safer way to clean parts."
Bill Cameron
Storekeeper - SIAST Kelsey Campus (Saskatchewan)
"My name is Bill Cameron and I work at SIAST Kelsey Campus as the Storekeeper in the Agricultural Machinery Technician Program. Our program uses two Bio-circle parts washers and there is a third machine in the Industrial Mechanics Program. The Instructors and students are very pleased with the way the cleaners work. They do a great job on our dirty, greasy parts. The staff and students also comment on the nice fragrance as well as how nice it is on the hands working with a warm product. I especially appreciate the service from the technician maintaining both of our machines. It makes my job easier. We are trying to provide a safe and healthy environment for the students and the Bio-circle parts washers helps us do our part."
Gary L. Smart
Safety Manager - United Space Alliance (USA)
"I really like the MSDS on this unit. After using the machine my hands are fine, not burning or dried out. The enviro-friendliness is excellent."
Julien Béliveau
President - Do-Mar Électrique Inc.
"We have been successfully selling Bio-Circle at Do-Mar Électrique. Our sales representatives do not miss an opportunity to convince them to change their cleaning process."

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum is a rare genetic disorder characterized by calcification of the elastic fibers of the skin, retina, and cardiovascular system.
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum is caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene that are inherited in both autosomal dominant and recessive forms. The ABCC6 gene product is a transmembrane transporter protein that probably plays roles in cellular detoxification. Characteristic cutaneous papular lesions begin in childhood and are primarily of cosmetic concern. They appear as small yellowish papules that typically occur on the neck and axillae and flexural surfaces. Elastic tissues become calcified and fragmented, leading to disruption of the involved organ systems:
Diagnosis is based on clinical and histologic findings. Laboratory and imaging studies are done for associated conditions (eg, CBC, echocardiography, head CT).
Treatment of retinal angioid streaks with intravitreal injections of angiogenesis-blocking antibodies (eg, bevacizumab Some Brand Names AVASTIN Click for Drug Monograph ) shows promise. Otherwise, there is no specific treatment, and the aim is to prevent complications. People should avoid drugs that may cause stomach or intestinal bleeding, such as aspirin Some Brand Names No US brand name Click for Drug Monograph , other NSAIDs, and anticoagulants. People with pseudoxanthoma elasticum should avoid contact sports because of the risk of injury to the eye. Complications may limit life span.

text: Source: Health-e http://www.health-e.co.za/news/article.php?uid=20032120 Global health inequity is growing* 12.11.2008 Anso Thom, Health-e *A staggering 854-million people were undernourished between 2001 and 2003 while at the other end of the scale 700-million people are likely to be obese by 2015, according to the Global Health Watch (GHW) 2. * Launched in Cape Town, the Global Health Watch<http://www.ghwatch.org/> is an alternative world health report and includes the voices of civil society organisations and scientists from around the world. More than half the people in the world (3,5-billion) live in poverty and although more money is now available for health, this is not being used wisely or efficiently and it also isn't reducing inequalities, according to the Global Health Watch <http://www.ghwatch.org/> The report shows that while global health spending has risen, crucial public health priorities have been neglected – donors favour curative approaches and many overlook the importance of preventing sickness by supporting the supply of clean water and sanitation. Around 4 500 children die every day because of poor hygiene and sanitation. "The grim reality for millions of people is a depressing and undignified life of having to live in a smelly world full of untreated shit," write the authors. "In many areas, people are reduced to defecating in plastic bags and throwing their faeces (flying latrines) into ditches; they may defecate in fields and behind bushes, or in flimsy structures from which their faeces fall into ponds or lakes (hanging latrines) and contaminate sources of drinking water. Children walk over faeces-ridden fields barefoot to schools." The GHW found that the proportion of development assistance allocated to improving access to clean water and adequate sanitation had actually fallen since 1990 and slum dwellers in Lagos, Nigeria pay 40 times as much for water as residents in downtown New York. There was also a lack of co-ordination and coherence among donors and global health institutions, and higher transaction costs among a bewildering number of actors, including increasing numbers of highly-paid consultant and bureaucrats, the GHW said. The report makes stinging criticisms of key global actors, including the World Health Organisation (WHO), the World Bank and the Gates Foundation. The report calls on governments to stop the Bank from meddling in health politics and expresses concern that although the Gates Foundation has injected vast sums of money into global health, it operates in an undemocratic way and reinforces a medical-technical approach. The GHW also highlights the pressure exerted on the WHO by "powerful and vested interests" that would prefer WHO's activities and programme to have a more biomedical and less political focus. The report also hits out at the "rich developed world" where there is a lack of access to essential health care for asylum seekers and migrants. The developed world hosts only 30% of official refugees and asylum seekers globally, but it implements increasingly harsh measures to prevent people from seeking and receiving asylum. In Australia AU$160-million of foreign aid was used to detain asylum seekers in off-shore detention centres, for example. "While rich countries benefit from the extraction of natural resources from many poor countries, the people from those countries who seek a better life are shunned, stigmatized and incarcerated," the GHW said. The report said that the world's global health crises were often presented as problems that are unfortunate, unforeseen or tragic. They are rarely presented as an outcome of policies that work in favour of the rich and powerful. This is the second Global Health Watch, with the first one launched a few years after the first People' Health Assembly which was held in Bangladesh in 2000 when some 1 500 people from 75 nations attended and drew up the People's Health Charter. The Charter called for action on the root causes of ill-health and the lack of access to essential health care, setting the agenda for the People's Health Movement.- health-e news. -- Bridget Lloyd mailto:email@example.com

The HG Holden was the final refinement of the HK-T series, and introduced the Australian-Built, three speed Tri-Matic automatic
to the full size Holden's.
The model range was as before, with sedans, wagons, Monaro coupes and light commercial models in several levels of specification, plus the Brougham luxury saloon.
The Tri-Matic
was standard on the Brougham and Premier and available on all other models as an option, except of course for the Monaro GTS 350, which was offered with either a 4 speed manual or the regular two speed
As well as a more elaborate plastic grille and cleaner body decorations, the HG had new safety features, colours and trim designs. Improved disc
were now fitted to all V8 models, while the
system of the Monaro GTS was modified for greater comfort.
This was possible because race duties had been taken over by the smaller Torana, so the Monaro no longer needed to be sold in 'Bathurst' trim.
All the HG changes, including the optional Tri-Matic
and choice of 5 locally produced engines, were offered on the big selling range of Holden passenger-car derived light commercials.
The Model range included: Belmont Sedan, Belmont station wagon, Belmont panel van, Belmont utility, Kingswood sedan, Kingswood station wagon, Kingswood utility, Premier sedan, Premier station wagon, Brougham sedan, Monaro coupe, Monaro GTS coupe, Monaro GTS 350 coupe.

The HG holden p v was my first choice, went through a lot of other old holdens before I got one. The one I brought was standard except for the mags. Over the years I changed a few things fitted bucket seats, wagon back seat prem front end, holley and extractors. This cars odometer was stuck on 808083 the whole time ive owned it and ive done countless miles. Had the engine rebuilt by a mate he said it was only running on 4 cylinders. probly a good thing the block was silted up around the rear cylinders as it would have overheated a lot. Fitted a new cam, bearings unleaded heads welded cracks and machined the inlet manifold to my amazement we were able to use the original pistons so I could keep the bores standard. Ive had my HG 25 years and have the money to buy any car I like but I could not be bothered. I know I can leave it for 2 weeks and it will start first go. Im i the process of restoring it back to standard again. Not to many proud Belmont drivers out their these days. : )

silohuetteman,It must have been one tired HG. Every car is only as good as its mechanic. Ever consider chucking in a 4-spd to cure the jamming problem? Your spot-on about mechanics. I often drive my car home after a full day at the service department......and find the old problem,shudder or noise still present. The only thing many of them are good at doing is cleaning ouy my wallet.

The HG Holden was the worst car I have ever owned.Continual overheating problems caused by incorrect ignition timing that the average joe could probably work out but no licensed mechanic could.
In the six years I owned it the engine was replaced once and the cylinder head three times.One mechanic even replaced the radiator when it was clearly the timing.
The three speed column shift was an absolute shonker and had a common fault of always jamming in first gear so opening the bonnet to adjust the linkage at the traffic lights in peak hour was the norm.Once again no mechanic had any answer for it even after having another column change fitted and it did it again.This car seemed to have some sort of terminal illness.
It was involved in a major accident and should have been written off but the insurance company resusitated it.
The HG a hard car to modify when as a young buck I found out the hard way.There is no room under the guards to put a set of mags and wide tyres unless the guards are flared by a panel beater.Even the EH and HR had more room to put a set of mags on.
It was eventually sold to a woman whom I caught up with six months later .She gave up on the first gear and started off in second.She resold it and the last time I saw it ,it was heading towards a major country town driven by two hippies and with a bit of luck never to be seen again.

I own an HG 186 3 on tree and though its no longer the fastest thing around,shes reliable and turns some heads.I've owned a VB Cdore and VK wgn but the Kingswood bug was biting so i had to try one. I've never regretted it. I do wish it had a V8,auto,aircon and power steer,but at least its reliable. I think good ones should be commanding more money.

United States Attorney Jenny A. Durkan
Western District of Washington
Sophisticated Scheme Nets Former Employee $440,000 Over Several Years
EDGAR HUGH KELLY, 37, of Tacoma, Washington, was sentenced late Friday to 33 months in prison, three years of supervised release, a community service obligation, and $440,000 in restitution for Theft from a Lending, Credit, or Insurance Institution. KELLY was employed for nearly 13 years as a teller and office manager at KBR Credit Union, a small credit union serving employees of Simpson Construction. An internal audit in 2010, revealed that KELLY had embezzled large amounts of cash from the credit union for his own use. KELLY used his knowledge of the credit union's practices to hide the thefts for several years. The loss to the credit union was $440,000. At sentencing U.S. District Judge Benjamin H. Settle said that he was particularly troubled by KELLY's severe breach of the public's trust, noting that "if people can't trust their financial institutions to protect their money, then our society is in a lot of trouble."
The theft from KBR came to light in early 2010, when auditors started asking KELLY for documents related to the credit union's accounts held with other banks. KELLY submitted false records showing there had been no loss of funds from those accounts. Once the auditors uncovered the false documents and the theft, KELLY was fired. Subsequent investigation unraveled KELLY's elaborate scheme, which involved strategically timed fund transfers and altered financial documents. KELLY was charged in October 2010, and pleaded guilty in November 2010.
In their sentencing memo, prosecutors highlighted the sophistication of the scheme. "His theft involved an ongoing scheme that he successfully operated for years by concealing his criminal conduct through the creation of a float, the numerous fabricated bank records, and false accounting entries.... For years, he essentially used KBR Credit Union as his personal piggy bank. This was not a one-time opportunistic crime, but rather a deliberate and methodical fraud upon a federally insured financial institution motivated purely by greed," prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memo.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Secret Service. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Steven Masada.
