Active Luton News
Young carers encouraged to take time out
Active Luton is encouraging young carers to take some time out for themselves and take advantage of a special fitness offer to improve their helath and wellbeing.
The trust has teamed up with children's bereavement, trauma and emotional wellbeing charity, CHUMS, to run the young carers project which is aimed at young people who look after siblings and other family members. Young carers signed up to the scheme are entitled to a voucher which allows them to take part in 10 activity sessions for just £1 each. They'll also receive an Active Luton Membership card which gives them a discount off other products too.
New project to engage older men in sport
Active Luton has been awarded £40,000 from Sport England to run a 12-month programme which aims to engage older men in sporting activity.
The project will see the trust teaming up with the Older Men's Network to deliver weekly 30 minute 'walking football' sessions at its Inspire and Lea Manor leisure centres.
Walking football will be offered to older men who are prevented from being active for a range of reasons such as social isolation or illness. This simple but ingenious, slow-paced adaptation of the traditional game is designed to help older men achieve an active lifestyle. It's also a fantastic platform for those who have stopped playing due to injuries, illness, lack of confidence or perhaps limited opportunities to return to the game. There's no running or jogging allowed while the ball is in play and, because no slide tackles are permitted either, the chances of getting injured are close to none.
Sessions are initially taking place on Tuesdays from 4-5pm at Inspire: Luton Sports Village and cost just £2.50. Additional sessions will start from January 7 on Wednesdays from 6-7pm at Lea Manor Recreation Centre.
Lea Manor Pool re-opens Monday 13th October
Following extensive repairs to the roof we're pleased to announce that Lea Manor Swimming Pool will re-open on Monday 13th October
We'd like to thank all our customers for their patience and hope you all enjoy swimming back at 'the manor'
Please click here to see the pool programme for re-opening.
Please also note that as from Monday 13th Profiles Gym will close at 9.00pm (an hour earlier than at present).
Squash Open day
Active Luton is encouraging residents to pop along to Lewsey Sports Park on Saturday 27 September for a free squash open day.
Luton and Dunstable Squash Club is hosting the event which will include a mixture of beginner, intermediate and advanced coaching for both juniors and adults.
A club member will be available throughout the day to explain what the squash club offers and to arrange games for first timers.
People can drop in at any time throughout the day, plus there will be specific sessions to cater for certain age groups, experience levels and abilities:
- 9 .45-11.45am: Junior coaching
- 11.45am-12.45pm: Junior hour - for current and potential new members (get on court and have a hit with some guidance offered)
- 12:45-1.15pm: Beat the coach! An opportunity to play against head coach Steve Davies (you'll get a head start)
- 1.15-2.30pm: Singles demo – a match between two of Bedfordshire's leading players (plus coaching demo) followed by coaching tips to members and non-members.
- 2.45pm: Doubles
Helen Barnett, Chief Executive at Active Luton, said: "Squash is a really fun sport that does wonders for your fitness, stamina, strength and agility. It also helps develop skill and strategy while being very effective for weight loss.
"The squash facilities at Lewsey Sports Park are second to none and I'm confident this event will not only help enhance the skills of our already talented competitive squash players, but also encourage a number of new players to take up the sport socially."
Squash rackets will be provided for those that don't have them. For more information call 07598 139288.

Active Luton is offering residents a rare opportunity to take part in some of its fitness classes free of charge on Friday, 26 September.
The initiative is part of National Fitness Day with activities being organised up and down the country to promote the benefits of exercise and living a healthy, active lifestyle.Leisure centres across the UK are opening their doors and offering free activities; while hundreds of events are being held in parks and open spaces.

Scuba recruits required by Royal appointment
SCUBA divers from Luton BSAC are appealing for new recruits after TRH The Prince of Wales and The Duke of Cambridge attended an event to mark the handover of the British Sub-Aqua Club Presidency (BSAC).
Members of Luton BSAC a branch club of BSAC, based at Inspire:Luton Sports VIllage welcomed the official handover to The Duke who has spoken of how he hopes his Presidency will inspire his little son George and other youngsters to also take the plunge and explore the underwater world.
David Watchorn, Chairman of Luton BSAC, said: "We feel very honoured that for four decades our governing body has been led by The Prince of Wales. We now join together with BSAC clubs all over the country to welcome his son, The Duke of Cambridge, as our new President.
"We feel sure it will inspire other young people to take up the sport and as an active scuba diving club ourselves, we are always on the lookout for new members.
"We regularly hold Try Dives where people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities can come and try scuba diving and sample just a fraction of the amazing opportunities this terrific sport can offer."
Their Royal Highnesses met the next generation of scuba divers and snorkellers at the special reception where The Duke himself took the plunge at the Oasis lido in London's West End. It was announced in May that The Duke has followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather to take over the leadership of BSAC, the UK's governing body for scuba diving and snorkelling, which celebrated its diamond jubilee last year.
Their Royal Highnesses joined around 100 BSAC members to mark the historic handover and to say thank you to The Prince of Wales for his four decades of loyal leadership at the head of the organisation.

Newsletter for customers at Lea Manor Recreation Centre and Lewsey Park Pool
Roof Works to Lea Manor Recreation Centre
Luton Borough Council has notified us of its intention to undertake repair works to the roof at Lea Manor Recreation Centre. This means we will have to close off the swimming pool for a 4 month period.
Lea Manor pool will therefore close to the public after the final swim session on Sunday 15th June and reopen on Monday 13th October 2014.
We are sorry about the short notice of closure, but we'll do our very best to keep you informed, up to and beyond the closure dates.
How does this affect services at Lea Manor Recreation Centre?
The good news is that all of the dry side activities have been relocated to other areas of the site and will continue throughout the building works.
Will other pool activities be affected?
There will be no public swimming at Lea Manor during the closure but customers are welcome to use Lewsey Park Pool and Inspire: Luton Sports Village to swim.
The following groups of users will be signposted to existing sessions at other sites
- Access to Sport
- Adults and Women only
- early mornings lane swims
- fun sessions
What about the Hydra Learn to Swim programme?
Lessons will be relocated from Lea Manor to Lewsey Park Pool. We anticipate that the quality of the lessons will not be fundamentally affected. This is a reverse of the situation when Lewsey Park Pool closed for refurbishment in 2012.
Will lessons be at the same day and time?
Times of lessons will be staggered to ease changing room congestion at Lewsey, a lesson learnt from the last time we had a pool closure. We will contact you as to actual times as soon as possible, by phone and we'll also advise you via posters in Centre receptions.
Will we be able to accommodate everyone at Lewsey?
We'll do our best to ensure there is sufficient water space at Lewsey Park Pool by using blocks in the middle of the pool to reduce the water depth.
To ease congestion at Lewsey Park Pool, we are providing CCTV cameras in the pool hall at Lewsey Park Pool linked to TV screens at Lewsey Sports Park cafe and we would encourage Swim School parents to use this venue. Complimentary tea and coffee will be provided at the Sports Park for those customers who use it.
Are there any other group activities that can't be accommodated?
Happily we've managed to accommodate most other groups. If you have any concerns about your group activities please speak to a member of our staff.
If you have any further questions
- Please feel free to ask our staff
- Use the comment cards on site
For further information: Look out for updates on the Centre Feedback Boards, on our website, on Facebook (like our page Active Luton) and in the press.

Strong showing from Team GB athletes at Luton triathlon
Team GB's Richard Lewey and Eloise Turner took gold in the men's and women's races in Sunday's Hercules Sprint Cross Triathlon held at Inspire: Luton Sports Village.
An impressive field of competitors from Luton and across the county, including a host of Team GB members, lined up for the demanding off road triathlon. The race started with a 400m swim in the 50-metre Olympic-size pool. The competitors then raced directly to the transition zone, leapt onto their mountain bikes to take on a tough 13 km off-road cycle, before returning to the park to finish with a 4km running race.
The men's race was very hotly contested, with the first three finishers coming in within one minute of each other. Team GB's Richard Lewey finally triumphed in an astonishing time of just 56:28. The woman's race was equally hard fought with Team GB's Eloise Turner taking the gold with a very fast 1:06:21.
The day was by no means all about elite athletes. A host of local athletes took on the difficult course and demonstrated great determination and wonderful British sportsmanship. A fantastic example of this was when many of the elite athletes lined the finish run-in to welcome home novice Triathlete Fi Draper, who soldiered home to finish in 2:04:28.
David Enright (Director of Hercules Events) said: "Although I was very impressed by the performances of the elite athletes, it was the show of sportsmanship towards the novice triathletes that really impressed me. I had a lump in my throat when I saw all of the experienced athletes wait and line up to welcome home the last finisher. That is what British sportsmanship is all about."
The Cross Triathlon was the fourth in the multisport series of races being run by Hercules Events in Partnership with Active Luton. The series has been a great success, drawing in hundreds of experienced and novice athletes from Luton and around the UK.
Stuart Trower, Group Operations Manager at Active Luton (who stepped in as a cycle course Marshal on Sunday), said: "Whether a novice or experienced multi sport participant, the inaugural series of events has provided an opportunity for the local community and others to challenge themselves. Based at our fantastic local facilities, and taking place in beautiful surroundings, these events offer an opportunity for personal achievement, attainable by anyone with the will to achieve."

Hats off to Audrey
At 87 years old, Hightown resident Audrey Wash still attends her weekly 50+ aerobics class at Hightown Community Arts and Sports Centre.
The class is part of Active Luton's 'Me Time' programme which encourages more women to take part in sport and physical activity by offering a variety of women-only sports and fitness programmes across the town in various community settings.
Audrey, who has a condition called macular degeneration which makes her virtually blind, takes the bus to her class each week. She has been attending exercise classes since she retired aged 65.
Helen Barnett, Chief Executive of Active Luton, said: "Audrey is one of our most remarkable and inspiring 'Me Time' women. There are a number of reasons why participation levels are low amongst women, but we know confidence is a barrier for many. Hopefully Audrey's story will inspire more local women to have a go."
For more information about the 'Me Time' programme contact Active Luton on 01582 40 02 72

March 12th, 2012 at 1:17 amIt would only taste like crap if you don't know how to cook. The recipe was actually great — I just used some different veggies because that's what was in my fridge. The one thing I would mention is to NOT put the oil in the pan on high heat… this burns the garlic/ginger. Try low to medium heat at first and once you start adding the onions, increase the heat to med-high…. otherwise, YUM!

August 28th, 2009 at 11:57 amHi wanted to know which soy sauce do you use? i bought the light soy sauce but somehow the noodles always stay white in colour. doesnt really taste the indo-chinese way. can you help me?
hetal Reply:
August 28th, 2009 at 6:43 pmKikkoman makes a good soy sauce. Low sodium soy sauce is great if you have health issues (eg high blood pressure, etc) but the problem can be that it's flavor is not as salty. If you don't have health issues, you can try the regular version and see if it works for you.
Also, the other sauces such as chili sauce and stir-fry sauce should also help with the color.

December 27th, 2009 at 4:27 pmwonderful recipe !
one question ! if some people don't eat garlic and onions.. do you have any suggetion for that what to replace it? I know it wont give the same flavour but is there anything in your idea would make it excellent even without using onion/garlic?
pls. let me know..thankyou for your great support !
hetal Reply:
December 29th, 2009 at 2:48 pmHi Yogita,
If you are making these noodles for people who normally do not eat garlic/onions, they probably will not miss the flavor too much. The ginger, soy sauce and chili sauce (as well as other flavorings) do provide quite a bit of flavor.

sandeep Says:
January 14th, 2010 at 1:24 amI made noodles as per your receipe they are really good. My question is why we use vinegar in noodles?
I found rice vinegar(white) in store. Is white vinegar is same as rice vinegar?
anuja Reply:
January 14th, 2010 at 2:16 pmVinegar is used in most of the Chinese cooking…the vinegar gives a hint of sourness to the dish which is really subtle.
Rice vinegar and White Vinegar are different, Rice vinegar has a little sweetness to it. You can use Rice vinegar but you might have to a add a little more than you would white Vinegar.
Hope that helps!

hetal Reply:
March 22nd, 2010 at 2:59 pmHi Parul,
You should cook the chicken first and pull it out of the pan. If you like, you can season it with a little soy sauce. In the same pan, you can cook the veggies and add it the chicken after they have cooked.

I see you are using rubber ones? please could you know if there is a specific name for them and if i could purchase them anywhere online.

June 6th, 2010 at 10:26 pmHi Jenna,
These spoons we got from a dollar store about 5 years ago and have not found anything like them again There is no name or any information on them either and if we ever find them again, we will be buying about 50
Sorry, for being no help
TIP: try looking for spatulas that are heat resistant (so they don't melt)[Reply]

December 24th, 2010 at 1:32 pmVery nice video on chinese noodles. Guys.. I was wondering whether SALT is needed in this preparation or not. Or does this Hoisin sauce have SALT content in it. Bit confused on the SALT part of this one.
Really appreciate your mouth watering Chinese Noodles. Would like to see more..
hetal Reply:
December 27th, 2010 at 5:43 pmHi Abhishek,
Most Chinese dishes do not require salt because of the soy sauce.

May 13th, 2011 at 6:39 amDespite the onion, green peppers, and especially garlic, also, the little corns were iffy for me. The combonation of ingredients were so tasty, even my picky bf loved it! Reheating the meal in the microwave was dry, and not so great; any ideas for reheating?

May 15th, 2011 at 2:18 pmHi EvoNymph,
Heating noodles is always a challenge. You can try to sprinkle a little water over the noodles and cover them with a damp paper towel before microwaving. This will create steam and help with the dryness.

Since many of the sauces are to taste, you can adjust them accordingly to get the correct texture.

Roller shades can add to a simple design scheme
Those who are looking for a way to simply change the look of their room may first want to look at the furniture, according to Naperville Patch. Moving pieces around the room into a different formation can make the space feel entirely different and purchasing a few throw pillows can also make the couch more luxurious.
Interior designer Lana Heitmanek also suggested that individuals should try to analyze the elements of a room and see what isn't working.
"People live with things and get used to them and think, 'I've had that a really long time,'" she told the news source. "If you think it's dated or not working, it probably isn't."
To really make a room feel fresh, one should also look into window treatments. With a wide range of styles and vibrant colors, roller shades can make a space feel new and also act as a way to control the lighting.

Despaigne eyes repeat effort after stellar debut
Righty dominated Giants his last start; D-backs counter with Bolsinger
In his Major League debut Monday, Padres pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne tossed seven shutout innings in a victory over the Giants at AT&T Park.
Wonder what Despaigne will do for an encore?
On Sunday, Despaigne, the former Cuban defector, gets the start in the series finale against the D-backs at Petco Park.
Despaigne, in the big leagues only because the scheduled starting pitcher, Andrew Cashner, was scratched from Monday's start because of a sore right shoulder, got 11 ground-ball outs and allowed four hits in the Padres' 6-0 victory.
"I think he did a great job," said Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal said. "He was right in the zone all game. He never threw anything that was way off. I knew [from pregame] that his curveball was going to be a big pitch for him."
According to STATS Inc., Despaigne became just the seventh pitcher since 1914 to throw seven shutout innings without a walk in his Major League debut. He also became the fourth pitcher in franchise history to throw seven or more shutout innings in his big league debut.
"It feels good," Despaigne said. "It helped that I have pitched in front of big crowds before -- not like this. I was anxious, but not nervous."
Michael Bolsinger gets the start for the D-backs. He allowed one run over 7 2/3 innings the last time out against the Giants, but didn't receive much in the way of run support in a 4-1 loss.
Bolsinger needed just 69 pitches to get 23 outs in the game, as he did a good job of keeping the Giants off-balanced.
"I came up, had a little success, went down and now I'm coming back," said Bolsinger, noting that this is his second stint in the big leagues this season. "I just want to keep rolling with it."
D-backs: Reed slider sharp
D-backs closer Addison Reed has struggled to find consistency with his slider this year, but Friday night against the Padres was particularly good.
"It was the best slider he's had," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "It was sharp, kept it down in the right areas, the ball had some depth to it. I thought it was a changeup from the side, just the way it was going down."
Reed, who has blown three saves this year including one Tuesday night against the Indians that led to a 14-inning game, retired all three San Diego hitters he faced while striking out two.
Padres: Quentin on the mend
There was some measure of good news on Saturday when Padres manager Bud Black said that outfielder Carlos Quentin's sore left shoulder was "feeling better."
Quentin injured the shoulder trying to make a diving catch in Wednesday's loss to the Giants. He didn't play Friday or Saturday.
But Black said a disabled list stint would not be needed, which is a good thing for the Padres, who have scored just 56 runs in 24 games this month.
Worth noting
• Pitcher Andrew Cashner, on the DL since June 21 with a sore right shoulder, was hoping to get the chance to play catch this weekend. Manager Bud Black said there was no plan for Cashner to throw Saturday, though that could still occur by the end of the weekend.

Hey, life is getting pretty boring, so I decided to buy a sailboat and sail around the world. I know the people here are really smart and could give me good advice on a couple of questions I have.
Only sailed a few times, but I have read a few books (that Slocum guy was quite a dude, we already have stocked up on thumb tacks) and lurked on Sailnet for a time, and figure it can't be all that hard based on what I read here and I have lots of time to pick up experience as we go. I sailed once on a friend's Hunter sailboat, I think it was a 42 footer and really liked it so I think I will get one of those. Can't afford anything that fancy and it is only for my girlfriend (she's a bit afraid of the idea right now, but will get used to it I am sure), our two year old twins and the Rotteweller so I was thinking about a 30 foot Hunter, so bought one for $7000 that I can fix up. I got maybe another $3000 to pour into the project (this sailing is pricey for sure) - that will mean we will have about $400 a month for a cruising budget which should be enough since we live simply and can fish a lot.
We will leave from around the Chesapeake in June next year and go to the Caribbean, I hear that things in Haiti are real cheap and that diesel fuel in Venezuela is almost free. Then we will sail to Europe and go through the Red Sea to India - always wanted the adventure of visiting some of these exotic spots. From India we will head to Australia and then around South America (heard the tolls on the Panama canal are really high so this way should be cheaper (money is tight, right).
Anyway, to my questions, budget is tight. The boat came with one anchor (12 pound Danforth the owner called it) and about 6 feet of chain (not sure what that's for, may take it off) and 100 feet of that stretchy yellow rope. I thought I might want a bigger anchor, maybe 20 pounds since I got the family to take care of, and another 100 feet of rope. Same time I thought I should have a gun to take with me since some of these foreign spots can be mighty dangerous. Problem is I can't afford both ever since that foreigner got into the White House and the economy fell apart, so which one should I buy - anchor or gun???
While you are at it, maybe you could tell me what type of anchor is best and what type of gun is best for cruising (is one gun enough, what about one for the wife too if we can get a deal)?
Also, should I go in 2013 or wait a couple of years in case the climate gets warmer and the sea level rises - hey, more ocean to sail on, right? OK, I was kidding about global warming, aint happening. BTW, if you think the world is going to end next week don't bother replying. I am not buying the anchor (or gun) until the January sales anyway - wouldn't want to waste the money if the world ends like the Mayans say it will. That's why we are not buying Christmas presents until the 23rd.
I read your post and I am shocked. I really thought I knew you better than that. You need to spend a lot more time on Sailnet and learn a lot more. You see, after reading your thread, I realized your forgot the grill. As such, you are not ready for such adventures. THe rest looks fine I guess, but leavnig the grill behind is a novice mistake.
If you can't afford the grill, no problem. You are in the Chessy, right? I know of a 35 foot C&C where you can get one. Just bring the wrench over after dark. I'm not sure the Dave fellow who owns the boat knows how to use the grill anyways. Bests to just leave him with a microwave and toaster oven.

Sir Chris Hoy has denied allegations of tax avoidance made by the Guardian newspaper in a statement released on his website.
The four time Olympic champion was said to have used a perfectly legal, yet perceived as underhand, method of paying himself a £325,000 loan through his company Trackstars Ltd. He has said the story is misleading and that he repaid the loan in full in October 2011, something the Guardian didn't know.
The tax reducing method of 'disguised renumeration', where a person pays themselves with a loan (which isn't taxed), and then fails to pay it back (paying it back is taxable) is what comedian Jimmy Carr was accused of doing earlier in the week.
Hoy's statement read:
"Today The Guardian published an article about my financial affairs. Although I would not normally speak about such matters in public, I regard the article to be misleading and as such I have felt compelled to respond.
To be clear, my income generating activities are organised through a UK registered tax paying company. This means that my financial affairs are transparent and in the public domain.
In 2010 I took a loan from my company, this was repaid in full in October 2011, a fact which The Guardian was not aware of. This is standard practice in most small companies in the country. Loan monies, as The Guardian points out, are liable for tax at a 25% rate. The dividends that I took to repay the loan were in fact taxed at the highest rate. Neither I nor my company disguise remuneration.
The article implies that my dividend reduction from one year to another is in some way relevant to the loan. This is wholly incorrect. I saw an opportunity to buy property and with the guidance of my advisers I borrowed money from my company to do so. The loan was subsequently repaid shortly thereafter (October 2011) by declaration of fully taxable dividends.
Everything I have done is as a UK resident, and is UK taxable and not offshore. Also, to be clear, my lottery funding, which I am very grateful for, stopped in October 2008, though I do still promote the national lottery as I benefit from its support of British Cycling's world class programme.
I am very proudly British and my responsibilities as a British sportsman do not stop once I step off the bike. I take my responsibilities as a taxpayer as seriously as I do as an athlete. I sincerely hope this misleading article does not affect the British support I know I will need to perform at my best in London."
Hours later Hoy was taking part in the Olympic torch relay through Manchester, before getting back to training.

MPAA Rating: N/A
Genre: Documentary
Duration: N/A
Copyright Holder: N/A
Copyright: N/A
Plot Summary:
The latest documentary from Rory Kennedy ("Ghosts of Abu Ghraib," "Ethel") is a riveting moment-by-moment recounting of the dramatic events surrounding the 1975 military evacuation of Saigon. During the chaotic final days of the Vietnam War, the North Vietnamese Army closed in on Saigon as the panicked South Vietnamese people desperately attempted to escape. On the ground, American soldiers and diplomats confronted a moral quandary: whether to obey White House orders to evacuate only U.S. citizens or risk being charged with treason and save the lives of as many South Vietnamese citizens as they could. With time running out and the city under fire, an unlikely group of heroes emerged as Americans and South Vietnamese took matters into their own hands.

Cisplatin, Bevacizumab, and Gemcitabine Followed by Surgery, Bevacizumab, and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced Nonmetastatic Bladder Cancer That Can Be Removed By Surgery
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, gemcitabine, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some find tumor cells and kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving combination chemotherapy together with bevacizumab before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving these treatments after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving cisplatin, bevacizumab, and gemcitabine followed by surgery, bevacizumab, and paclitaxel works in treating patients with locally advanced nonmetastatic bladder cancer that can be removed by surgery.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Bladder Cancer |
Biological: bevacizumab Drug: cisplatin Drug: gemcitabine hydrochloride Drug: paclitaxel Procedure: adjuvant therapy Procedure: conventional surgery Procedure: neoadjuvant therapy |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase II Study of Neo-Adjuvant Cisplatin, Gemcitabine & Bevacizumab, Followed by Radical Cystectomy for Patients With Muscle Invasive, Resectable, Non-Metastatic Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC) of the Bladder |
- Overall pT0 response rate [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Estimated Enrollment: | 25 |
Study Start Date: | September 2005 |
Study Completion Date: | April 2012 |
Primary Completion Date: | April 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
- Determine the pT0 status (pathologic complete remission rate, no evidence of disease on cystectomy specimen) in patients with muscle-invasive, resectable, nonmetastatic transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder treated with neoadjuvant cisplatin, bevacizumab, and gemcitabine hydrochloride followed by radical cystectomy and adjuvant bevacizumab and paclitaxel.
- Determine if urinary survivin and urocytogenetics can predict responses in patients with muscle invasive, resectable, non-metastatic TCC of the bladder treated with neoadjuvant cisplatin and gemcitabine chemotherapy with bevacizumab.
- Evaluate the progression-free and median survival in patients treated with neo-adjuvant cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride chemotherapy with bevacizumab followed by radical cystectomy.
- Determine the feasibility, tolerability and toxicity of neoadjuvant cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride with bevacizumab in patients with muscle invasive, resectable, nonmetastatic transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder.
- Correlate pT0 on cystoscopy with pT0 on radical cystectomy in patients treated with neoadjuvant cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride chemotherapy with bevacizumab in patients with muscle invasive, resectable, nonmetastatic transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder.
- Determine the influence of adjuvant paclitaxel plus bevacizumab (in pathologic non-complete responders) on progression-free and overall survival rates.
- Determine the safety of bevacizumab use in the adjuvant setting in therapy of locally advanced bladder cancer.
- Determine the rate of postoperative complications, following treatment with neoadjuvant therapy (cisplatin, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and bevacizumab) and radical cystectomy.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
- Neoadjuvant therapy: Patients receive cisplatin IV over 60 minutes and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1 and gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with nonmetastatic disease at 12 weeks proceed to surgery at least 30 days later.
- Surgery: Patients undergo radical cystectomy. Patients who achieve pT0 status (pathologic complete remission rate, no evidence of disease on cystectomy specimen) are observed off study. Patients with evidence of disease proceed to adjuvant therapy.
- Adjuvant therapy: Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes and paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 6 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 25 patients will be accrued for this study.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Histologically confirmed transitional cell cancer (TCC) of the bladder

Smokey RobinsonA founding member of the Miracles at Northern High School, Detroit, in 1955, Smokey Robinson became one of the leading figures in the local music scene by the end of the decade. His flexible tenor voice, which swooped easily into falsetto, made him the group's obvious lead vocalist, and by 1957 he was composing his own variations on the R&B hits of the day. That year he met Berry Gordy, who was writing songs for R&B star Jackie Wilson, and looking for local acts to produce. Vastly impressed by Robinson's affable personality and promising writing talent, Gordy took the teenager under his wing. He produced a series of Miracles singles in 1958 and 1959, all of which featured Robinson as composer and lead singer, and leased them to prominent R&B labels. In 1960 he signed the Miracles to his Motown Records stable, and began to groom Robinson as his second-in-command.
In Motown's early days, Robinson was involved in every facet of the company's operations, writing, producing and making his own records, helping in the business of promotion and auditioning many of the scores of young hopefuls who were attracted by Gordy's growing reputation as an entrepreneur. Robinson had begun his career as a producer by overseeing the recording of the Miracles' "Way Over There", and soon afterwards he was charged with developing the talents of Mary Wells and the Supremes. Wells soon became Robinson's most successful protegee: Robinson wrote and produced a sophisticated series of hit singles for her between 1962 and 1964. These records, such as "You Beat Me to the Punch", "Two Lovers" and "My Guy", demonstrated his growing confidence as a writer, able to use paradox and metaphor to transcend the usual banalities of the teenage popular song. A measure of Robinson's influence over Wells' career is the fact that she was unable to repeat her chart success after she elected to leave Motown, and Robinson, in 1964.

Madhurantakam, Chaithanya; Varadamsetty, Gautham; Grütter, Markus G; Plückthun, Andreas; Mittl, Peer R E (2012). Structure-based optimization of designed Armadillo-repeat proteins. Protein Science, 21(7):1015-1028.
Published Version (English) PDF - Registered users only 1MB View at publisher |
The armadillo domain is a right-handed super-helix of repeating units composed of three α-helices each. Armadillo repeat proteins (ArmRPs) are frequently involved in protein-protein interactions, and because of their modular recognition of extended peptide regions they can serve as templates for the design of artificial peptide binding scaffolds. On the basis of sequential and structural analyses, different consensus-designed ArmRPs were synthesized and show high thermodynamic stabilities, compared to naturally occurring ArmRPs. We determined the crystal structures of four full-consensus ArmRPs with three or four identical internal repeats and two different designs for the N- and C-caps. The crystal structures were refined at resolutions ranging from 1.80 to 2.50 Å for the above mentioned designs. A redesign of our initial caps was required to obtain well diffracting crystals. However, the structures with the redesigned caps caused domain swapping events between the N-caps. To prevent this domain swap, 9 and 6 point mutations were introduced in the N- and C-caps, respectively. Structural and biophysical analysis showed that this subsequent redesign of the N-cap prevented domain swapping and improved the thermodynamic stability of the proteins. We systematically investigated the best cap combinations. We conclude that designed ArmRPs with optimized caps are intrinsically stable and well-expressed monomeric proteins and that the high-resolution structures provide excellent structural templates for the continuation of the design of sequence-specific modular peptide recognition units based on armadillo repeats.

Design is how Cadillac most seriously takes on the Lexus. Whereas the RX 350 is soft-looking and amorphous, the 2010 SRX is sharp, hard-edged and wedgy, playing Cadillac "Art & Science" design language to the hilt, from the vertically rectangular headlamp covers that extend to a point atop the front fenders to the LED taillamps designed to evoke 1950s tailfins.
SRX's new profile is pleasing to the eye, and not just ours, judging from the reaction of fellow motorists. It's only the dead-on rear view that betrays the limitations of making a tall two-box vehicle look sexy.
Inside, the RX 350 is visually unmemorable, defined by unsurpassed sumptuousness, fit, and finish. The new better-than-iDrive mouse-controlled navigation/audio control keeps fingerprints off the screen, and a steering wheel button that turns on a camera under the passenger side-view mirror is a true surprise/delight feature.
The SRX interior, which borrows a lot from the CTS sedan, stands out for its looks. The stitched leather dash cover opens up to reveal brushed metal accents along the front part of the instrument panel cover, near the cowl. A slick instrument cluster control on the turn-signal stalk allows you to switch the center gauge between timer, average speed, fuel consumed, fuel economy, fuel range, trip odometer, speedometer, navigation, and a real-time readout that displays the speed limit on major roads -- including speed warnings for slower corners. It's a useful bit of what interior designers have come to call "theater." If you have the navigation system off, the CTS-monolith style nav screen pops up for the backup camera only as long as you're in reverse.
The center gauge also features two light pipes built into the binnacle that are turn-signal indicator repeaters, blinking green when you use the signal. It's a minor thing, a nice bit of post-modern flavor inside the crossover, and it might get more SRX drivers to use turn signals.
Here's the rub: The Lexus handily whips the Caddy's interior for quality, fit, and finish. The RX's soft, smooth leather would do an LS proud, while the SRX leather seems cost-controlled and maybe slightly cheaper than the CTS'. The SRX has power lumbar support for both driver and front passenger, but the SRX has a manual leg bolster for the driver and not the passenger. And when we pulled out that driver's bolster, the finish was sub-standard. Velcro for the inner leather (or, more likely, pleather) piece was undone, showing off some hard plastic pieces that were meant to be out of sight. The piece should have been sewed together at least.

VStar Documentation
I am in the process of learning VStar, but am having difficulty finding documentation pertinent to the latest version. I did view the 2010 presentation by David Benn, but there have been changes made to the program since then.
Items I need help with specificaly are period search, returning to a previous page, polynomial fit (I never did understand the meaning of this), and a few others. If there is any written documentation I can use to get started, I can then ask more specific questions about the items with which I am still having issues.
Keith Graham
Unfortunately, we do not yet have one good source for documentation on using VStar for data analysis. This is in work, but I don't yet know when it will be available for use.
Meanwhile, you can take a look at some of David Benn's excellent blog posts on VStar which might be of help: http://dbenn.wordpress.com/category/astronomy-science/vstar/
In his posts, among other things, David shows how VStar can be used to plot examples from Grant Foster's book, Analyzing Light Curves: A Practical Guide
I hope that helps a little anyway. Please feel free to post more specific questions when they arise and hopefully somone will be able to answer them.
Hi Keith
Sara mentioned my blog posts, some of which cover period search with VStar.
I have just now written another post about polynomial fit:
Please feel free to ask further questions about any of these posts.
Can you tell me more about what you mean by "returning to a previous page"?
Apologies for the lack of a user manual. I seem to be writing user manual sections by way of blog posts at the moment.
Hi David,
OK, I now have some specific questions in which the answers may give me a better understanding of VSTAR.
As I viewed the VSTAR video, I noticed that it assumed a knowledge of such terms as polyniomial fit, residuals, and series bin. Perhaps there are many AAVSOers who understand these terms, but admittedly I am not one of them :). But, I am willing to learn.
1) I had no idea what a polynomial fit was until I looked it up in Wikipedia. I also checked out the link you gave me, so I now have a basic understanding of it, and this may help me to make some progress with VSTAR. I am not fully comfortable with it yet, but I will get there. I have found that when playing with the polynomial fit, if the degree is too high, the program goes into a loop which is difficult to stop. Since the icons are grayed out, the only way I found to stop it is to click on Analysis/Phase Plot. Is there anyother way to stop the loop?
2) When going into phase plot, the program pre-determines the period. However, this period is not always correct. For example, the period used for SS Cyg is the orbital period, not the outburst period. This makes for a pretty meaningless phase plot (at least for me). The only way I can see to change the period is to go back to Select a File and upload SS Cyg again. Then I click the Phase plot button and manually enter a period. Of course if the period I enter is close but not exact, I would need to reintroduce a new period. But I do not see how to enter a new period without recalling SS Cyg each time. Is there any way to enter new periods without recalling a target each time? Also, this is an example of what I meant about returning to a previous page.
3) Can you (or someone) please explain the meaning of residuals and bins as they pertain to Vstar?
May I suggest that when creating the new documentation that a basic explanation of polynomial fits, residuals, and bins be included? This would be a great help for potential users like me who took our last math courses decades ago and have forgotten most of what we learned back then:). It is now apparent to me that an uderstanding of these terms as they apply to VSTAR is imperative to using it to maximum potential.
Keith Graham
Hi Keith
Apologies for the delay. I've been a little busy over the last several days.
I what follows, I assume you are using VStar 2.13.
Re: creating a phase plot with a new period, use the Analysis -> Phase Plot menu item to do this. After the initial phase plot creation, the View menu Raw mode and Phase plot menu items merely switch between the light curve and phase plot. You can also return to previous phase plots via the Analysis -> Previous Phase Plots menu item. So, you don't need to load the dataset again, no.
Residuals result from taking a set of datapoints (e.g. initial observations) and subtracting a model from it. The model could be a polynomial fit or a Fourier series created from a period search (see Analysis menu DC DFT items). I talk a bit about residuals here:
The residuals themselves can further be analysed (models created, residuals subtracted) for additional signals. This topic, pre-whitening etc needs more space to explain. Grant Foster's Light Curve Analysis book goes into some detail.
A bin refers to the size, in days or "phase steps", of the "bucket" into which observations are lumped for the purpose of taking a mean value, one per bucket or bin. Larger bins have less uncertainty/error associated with them than smaller bins, with the tradeoff of how well the light curve or phase plot is represented. A mean curve can be viewed as another kind of model. Binned means are also related to ANOVA, the analysis of variance statistical algorithm, that indicates the likelihood of the existence of a signal (vs just randomness/noise) in a light curve. See File -> Info...
In reply to your question about a runaway polynomial fit, if this happens, you should be able to stop it via the "stop hand" button at lower right of the main window. Maximum polynomial degree is something I plan to added as a preference (see File -> Preferences...). Can you tell me a) what object and JD range you loaded observations for and b) what polynomial degree you specified?
I'll certainly cover polynomial fits, modelling, binned means etc in future documentation.
Hi David,
Thanks for your reply. Your comments did solve some of my concerns. However I am still having a few issues. Yes, I am using V 2.213.
So we are on the same page and you can replicate my problem, let's use a plot for ss cyg with the JD range 2455500.5 – 2456000.5.
) The Raw data gives a series of 8 max-min curves that are on the order of 40-60 days apart. When I click on Phase Plot, I get a period of 0.275130 days (this is the orbital period). Clicking phase plot presents a meaningless mess (at least to me). Setting the period to 60 days gives a series of 3 maxima, albeit they are pretty sloppy. I have yet to find, by trial and error, the plot that will give one phase. I would think that VStar would somehow check the raw data , figure the correct period, and present a phase plot using that correct period but I do not see how to accomplish this. What am I missing?
2) I tried a 9th degree polynomal fit of the Johnson V observations and got some results that made no sense to me. I then tried a 3rd degree polynomial fit of the Johnson V observations, and that resulted in the run away problem. Clicking the hand in the lower right corner did not stop the process. I had to close the program to stop it. So, how can I determine what polynomial fit to use to ultimately arrive at a meaningful result. And is there something wrong with the "hand" stopping routine or am I missing something?
Hi Keith
Firstly, apologies for the ridiculous length of time between replies! This last week or so has been very busy with work, family, an Arduino project, and article writing.
Now my head is back in VStar space. :)
Let me start with your second question. There's a couple of parts to my answer. One is that you have run into a bug in the current release that I have just (today, along with a similar one) fixed. This will be sorted out in the next release which I don't expect to be more than a couple of weeks away. I've been slowly working towards a new release since Easter.
Am I right in thinking that you saw this problem by: loading the SS Cyg dataset, creating a phase plot, switching back to the raw data (light curve) view, creating a polynomial fit, then seeing it embark upon a trip to la la land? In any case, you are not totally missing anything; you found a bug. Sorry about that.
The next part of my answer is to give an example of a polynomial fit for one of the SS Cyg outbursts. Given the light curve:
Create a filter (binoculars on toolbar) to select Visual observations over one of the outburst time ranges:
Then create a polynomial fit on this filtered series.
to end up with something like this.
I'm not so much justifying the use of a polynomial fit here so much as showing one reasonable application of it to this light curve. You could for example, use this to estimate the time of maximum. But if you were serious about this, you'd at least narrow the range further, e.g.
After that, you'd probably think about other possibilities like a Lowess fit (see Grant Foster's book).
Now, to the first question you asked above. As you point out, a phase plot at either the advertised (orbital) period or the average outburst period results in a mess. SS Cyg is of course a CV. With a pulsating variable such as a Mira, Cepheid, or RR Lyrae star, you'd expect to be able to get a nice phase plot at the pulsation period. For an eclipsing binary, you'd similarly like to have a phase plot that shows primary and secondary eclipses. But with a cataclysmic like SS Cyg, the outbursts are not particularly periodic, so you're not going to get a clean phase plot from those. You stand a better chance of creating a filter of datapoints between outbursts and seeing what that looks like in a phase plot at the orbital period. Even then, it's not very clean.
To address your other comment about how to find a period with VStar, in general, you need to use a DC DFT (see Analysis menu) to search for periods from which to create phase plots, models etc. I can say more about that or point you to VStar examples of this if you like.
I hope this helps.

...the secret is in the lean
Is the current weather causing your commute a bit of problem? Sounds like a job for the Snowjob.
Pictured here using a Kawasaki, the Snowjob conversion system turns your motorcycle into a jumping, wheelieing snowcycle in less than four hours. Derek Hine designed the Snowjob back in '73, but it looks like it could be just as handy today.

Put this in the washer then dryer and it looked like a 10 year old blanket. Took me four hours with a sweater shaver to make it look decent again. The blanket is a bit like a burlap bag. Nope, wouldnt order it again. Afraid to let any of my friends sleep under it.
This blanket is not as soft as others but it is absolutely trendy and is a good way to update your bedding.
it was more of a heavy tapestry thing; the design was bigger than the one pictured. Again another item made in India that when I opened the box a strong odor came from the blanket; enough to make me throw up. Am fed up with the poor quality of merchandise I have been receiving from Overstock. A waste of money.
ilove this blanket not to heavy iplan to order more
Great color and weave of fabric really nice item well worth money!!!!!
I bought one of these in twin size to use as a throw blanket several years ago. Now I need a new blanket for my queen sized bed and I'm ordering another in the larger size and a different color. The blanket is durable and thick, cozy, and you can't beat real cotton at such an affordable price. It's held up through many washes. Only con is some pilling after washing. Clearly not bad enough to stop me from purchasing blanket number two :)
This just happened to match some pillows I had - and I was very glad to find it.

Britney Spears in Holocaust Movie?
From the Department of Oh Noes: Britney Spears, whose pre-shaved-head acting debut in Crossroads blew us away, is now allegedly "in talks" to star in a movie involving the Holocaust. And time-travel. And, sigh, L'amour. Here's the reported deal: the movie is called The Yellow Rose of Sophia and Eton, and the protagonist is a young woman named Sophia LaMont who creates a time-machine and goes back to the 1940s. She meets an undoubtedly hot if skinny young man named Eton. The hitch? He's a concentration camp prisoner! Oh no! And he's Jewish, but that's not as much of an issue as the whole "imprisoned by Nazis" thing. What will Sophia and Eton do? Will their love survive Hitler's evil scourge? Well, no. See, the star-crossed lovers zip out of WWII, but when they get to the future (and this is where it gets weird) they are THEN killed by Nazis.
Predictably, Jewish advocates and organizations are not happy about the casting, or the film itself. "In films that deal with the Holocaust, the script should be carefully chosen and the cast picked with care," Charlotte Knobloch, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, said in Der Spiegel. "It is reprehensible to combine the issue of the Holocaust with Britney Spears in an attempt to secure financing for the film…" Yes, it is reprehensible. It's also probably not a good idea to combine time-travel and the Holocaust in a film. Or if you do, at least get some appropriate talent (Natalie Portman?) and for goodness' sake, don't let the Nazis win.
