BEMIDJI, Minn. – Alex Gacek and Blake Coleman each scored two goals to help the No. 12/13 Miami hockey team build a 4-1 lead, but Bemidji State scored three third-period goals to force a 4-4 tie on Friday night.
MU is now 7-6-2 and is winless in its last four contests while BSU is 5-7-3 on the year.
The RedHawks came out gunning early, firing seven of the first eight shots on goal over the opening six minutes. Alex Wideman had a pair of great opportunities from in close that Andrew Walsh stopped.
BSU got a chance to attack thanks to a power play with 13:52 remaining in the first, but the MU penalty kill was stellar for the two-minute stretch. The Red and White did not allow a shot on goal during the sequence to keep the contest scoreless.
With 11 minutes gone by, the RedHawks got on the board. Gacek found a loose puck after Ben Paulides' shot was blocked by a Beavers' defenseman. The sophomore forward poked the puck past the defense and through Walsh for his second goal of the year to put MU up 1-0. Sean Kuraly notched the secondary assist on the tally.
Less than a minute later, Miami went to its first power play with 8:11 remaining in the period. MU fired three quality shots, but Walsh stood tall for BSU to keep it a one-shot game.
The Red and White pushed the envelope in a dominant first period where they outshot the Beavers 17-5. MU got some breathing room on the scoreboard when Coleman redirected a nice pass by Max Cook into the net with 1:41 left in the period to send the RedHawks to the locker room with a 2-0 lead at intermission.
MU added another goal less than two minutes into the period when Kuraly intercepted the puck at BSU's blue line. He chipped the puck to Riley Barber as he moved down the right wing side. Barber's shot was stopped, but Gacek pounced on another rebound and put it in for his second tally of the night to make it 3-0 with 18:10 remaining in the period.
BSU's Cory Ward got one back for the Beavers when his shot found the top corner at the 4:13 mark. The beavers got an opportunity to move closer when they went onto the power play with 13:00 remaining in the period. Bemidji State got some quality looks that Ryan McKay turned aside, keeping the Red and White ahead by two goals.
Max Cook's hustle created the RedHawks' fourth goal at the 12:53 mark. He won a foot race to the puck behind the net and chipped the puck in front of the goal to Coleman, he beat Walsh for his second goal of the night to make it a 4-1 game after two periods of play.
The Beavers came out with a fury in the third period, outshooting the RedHawks 16-6 in the final regulation frame. A 4-on-4 goal by Radoslav Illo at 2:45 pulled BSU back to within two goals.
Miami got an opportunity on the power play to get that goal back after Bemidji State was whistled for too many men on the ice at 5:55. The power play lasted only 12 seconds after the RedHawks were called for a penalty of their own to negate their man advantage. After both penalties expired, Brendan Harms fired a shot through traffic with 11:43 left in the period to make it a one-goal game.
With under a minute left, the Beavers scored with the extra attacker on the ice as Sam Rendle fired a shot that got redirected into the net with 43 seconds remaining, sending the contest to overtime.
The RedHawks opened the overtime period with a power play and created some good chances, but only got one shot on goal during the man advantage. Miami outshot Bemidji State by a 4-3 count in overtime, but neither team could find the back of the net.
Miami finished with a slight (38-36) edge in shots on goal, though Bemidji State outshot MU 31-21 after the first period. Gacek, Coleman, Kuraly and Cook each finished with two points with Gacek's two-goal outing marking his first-career multi-goal or multi-point game. Special teams were not a factor in the scoring as MU went 0-for-4 and BSU finished 0-for-3 on the power play.
Ryan McKay made his second-straight start and stopped 32 of 36 shots. Andrew Walsh turned away 34 of the RedHawks' 38 attempts.
The same teams finish out the weekend series on Saturday with opening faceoff at 8:07 p.m. ET.

I got into this discussion on Facebook with Gualdo (I believe, though I might eb wrong) about how he wants to see Jon Snow ont he Iron Throne at the end of the books. Here's what I wrote in reply, and I'm using it as a jumping baord for this discussion. Not sure if I'm on the right track here, but it seemed worth sharing.
I've always felt that if there is a Night's Watch at the end of the series, Jon will stay at the Wall. However, I've had a new thought today: we always look at the ending through the view of Westeros, and who will sit the Iron Throne. But GRRM is telling the story via three location: the Wall and beyond, Westeros, and the east (Dany). Let's look at the analogy of "the Dragon has three heads," and apply it the ending. The world has three locations (though large and vague), and will need three leaders. Stannis is trying to win Westeros, Jon is trying to save the realm at the Wall, and although Dany is looking to return to Westeros, she is currently leading locations in the East.
It is likely safe to say that at some point Dany will come west, and the great battle with the Others will take place. And we're all assuming that the Others lose (which I think is a safe assumption; if the series ends with the Others controlling the world, I think there will be a large number of GRRM haters out there). This reinvigorates the need for the Wall, and Jon stays there to help rebuild the Watch, and possibly rule the North (above and below the Wall). Dany, realizing that she is needed to rule not just in Westeros but in the East as well returns there to rule those states (who, lets face it, will also be threatened by the Others, and may partake in the Battle as well). This leaves Stannis to rule over Westeros (remember that Axel Florent saw Stannis sitting the Iron Throne in a fire vision, even if it was just imagined).
This is only the birth of an idea, but I am seeing a sort of neatness to this ending. And it's one I'm willing to discuss.

DoD, State see light at end of wartime contracting reform tunnel
Thursday - 7/18/2013, 5:54am EDT
There's little doubt that the three agencies responsible for overseas contingency contracting have improved since the Wartime Contracting Reform Act of 2012 became law in December.
But recent audits show major problems in how the Defense and State departments and the U.S. Agency for International Development continue to spend billions of dollars in Afghanistan.
Exhibit A for the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Contracting and Financial Oversight Tuesday was an alert letter the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) issued last week. It found DoD spent $34 million to build a command and control facility at Camp Leatherneck in Afghanistan in 2011 that the military didn't want or need, and that the military awarded a contract a year after local commanders requested the project be canceled.
The facility, outfitted with office space and furnishings for a three-star general and up to 1,500 members of his division-level staff, has never been used. (View photos here.) Because the contractor constructed the building's electrical infrastructure to U.S. specifications, it's essentially useless to the Afghan government. So officials told the IG it will most likely be demolished.
Failed to meet terms of the contract
Richard Ginman, DoD's director of pricing and acquisition policy, said the Army is investigating to determine accountability for the decisions leading up to the facility's construction, which involved ongoing improvements to the building as late as early 2013.
"I have no ability to sit here and give you an answer as to how that occurred or why," he said. "We need to let the investigation run its course, but at least from my perspective at this point, it defies logic."
A separate report from SIGAR this week, released after the hearing, found that the contractor on a separate training facility for Afghan teachers failed to meet the terms of the contract. Auditors found that the building exposes Afghans to fire and electrical hazards, sewage and other health risks. But the Army Corps of Engineers paid the contractor in full without holding it accountable for the problems, according to SIGAR.
While problems continue, the progress by the three agencies to improve wartime contingency contracting over the last year is real.
Leaders from DoD, State and USAID testified on Capitol Hill about the steps they've taken to fix contingency contracting, including checking several boxes on a long list of reforms Congress mandated in this year's Defense authorization bill. They cited gains in developing clearer lines of responsibility for contracting, better oversight and better data collection.
In 2011, the Commission on Wartime Contracting concluded that the government wasted between $30 and $60 billion in Iraq and Afghanistan. But on Wednesday, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), who helped create the independent commission, acknowledged that contingency contracting has improved.
"It is much better than it was in 2007 in every single one of your agencies," she said.
Who's in charge?
Ginman said DoD has taken steps to introduce more accountability, responding to one of the provisions in last year's law that requires it to establish a chain of authority for policy, planning and execution of contract support.
"I refer to this as the 'who's in charge' question," he said.
Ginman said DoD continues to implement a 2009 directive that attempted to establish clear lines of responsibility at the highest levels of the Pentagon.
"It lays out clearly who's in charge," he said. "At the end of the day, it's Secretary Hagel, but you have the undersecretary for personnel and readiness who has responsibilities for managing the force, of which contractors are a piece. The undersecretary for acquisition, technology and logistics has very clear responsibilities when it comes to the issues of contracting and the management of contractors on the battlefield. We have the comptroller who has very clear responsibilities with the funding and what we're doing with it. The undersecretary for policy has very clear responsibilities as well."
DoD also has made major strides in overseas contract oversight performed by contracting officer representatives, increasing their ranks from 40 trained four years ago to more than 400 now.
A more difficult and more important step, Ginman said, is to inculcate the notion throughout the military that deployed commanders are responsible for contracting that happens in their battlespace.
"It's not the policy — it's the doctrine and getting that to a point where everyone understands what it is," he said. "It's the professional training; it's the execution; it's the exercises. We're encouraged when we see that both Gen. [David] Petraeus and Gen. [John] Allen sign letters out that say that contracting is the commander's business. When you have 100,000 people on a battlefield, getting that so that it's understood is far and away the largest gap that we have. It is one that we're actively working on, but it's not one we're going to solve today or tomorrow. We have a long way to go."

Matchless: An Illumination of Hans Christian Andersen's Classic "The Little Match Girl"
Matchless: An Illumination of Hans Christian Andersen's Classic "The Little Match Girl" (Paperback)
The beloved New York Times bestselling author of Wicked reimagines Andersen's "The Little Match Girl" for modern readers, putting a new twist on a timeless classic.
In Matchless, Gregory Maguire adds a different dimension to the story, exquisitely intertwining the match girl's tale with that of Frederik, a young boy who builds a city out of trash, and whose yearnings are the catalyst for a better future for himself and his family. Maguire uses his storytelling magic to rekindle Andersen's original intentions, suggesting transcendence, the permanence of spirit, and the continuity that links the living and the dead.
About the Author
Gregory Maguire is the author of several best-selling adult novels, including Wicked, which was turned into a Broadway musical. His books for younger readers include the picture book Crabby Cratchitt, the novel The Good Liar, and the popular Hamlet Chronicles series. While writing Leaping Beauty, Mr. Maguire sadly became allergic to all creatures great and small. Now he lives in a house without pets, though he is the father of three happy, noisy small children to whom, at this writing, he has not yet developed allergies.
Praise for Matchless: An Illumination of Hans Christian Andersen's Classic "The Little Match Girl"…
An Indie Next List Notable
"The little match girl's story is now getting its due thanks to novelist Gregory Maguire of 'Wicked' fame…. Matchless glows with aching beauty."
-Huntsville Times
"Maguire's story has the weight and solidity of a treasured folk tale, something to be handed down and retold."

About Train
Train set to release "Bulletproof Picasso"
When a new album is set to drop from this band, you don't merely say it's coming down the pipe. Coming down the tracks is more like it, as Train gets set to release the new album "Bulletproof Picasso."
Fans were quick to jump on any and all news about the new project back in May. After guitarist Jimmy Stafford tweeted, "An anagram of the first single from the new @train album is now available! SGIJANNULAEBENEL. Yep," the social media savvy quickly responded with, "Angel In Blue Jeans."
While that tweet stirred the pot in terms of fan enthusiasm, an announcement by Scott Underwood on June 5 put somewhat of a damper on the joyfulness. That's because Underwood posted a message thanking fans for their support and announced he was leaving the band to pursue writing, producing and other music-related ventures. The drummer, who has been with Train for two decades, was replaced by Drew Shoals.
The new incarnation of Train played NBC's "Today" show shortly after Shoals came on board, releasing a brand new track called "Angel in Blue Jeans." The band also announced a series of shows they'll be doing to coincide with the new album release date. They'll play back-to-back shows in Los Angeles on September 17th and 18th, in San Francisco on September 21st and 22nd, and a one-night stand at New York City's famed Radio City Music Hall on September 25th.
Train carries the torch for pop rock (Updated January 30, 2013)
When you get a bunch of solid musicians together, anything can happen. And good things have happened to Train, with core trio Pat Monahan (vocals), Jimmy Stafford (guitar) and Scott Underwood (drums) making music for the better part of two decades. From "Meet Virginia" to "Marry Me," these superstars have carried the torch for adult contemporary and pop rock in the 21st century.
The tracks were laid and the foundation formed for Train back in 1993, as Monahan left his hometown in western Pennsylvania and resettled in California. He played local gigs with Rob Hotchkiss, and the duo became a trio when it added Stafford to the mix. Once Underwood and bassist Charlie Conlin came aboard, Train was ready to pull out of the station.
It took roughly four years for Train to drum up interest – especially among record labels. When they finally signed a deal with Aware Records, the group's eponymous debut album in 1998 was self-financed. One track on the project, "Meet Virginia," became a Top 40 hit, but Train wouldn't find the charts again until the stunning success of "Drops of Jupiter" in 2001. Monahan said the song was inspired by the death of his mother, and the opening lines came to him in a dream.
Over the course of several years, the band would hit both peaks and valleys. Their 2003 album, "My Private Nation" went platinum on the strength of "Calling All Angels." But three years later, sales for "It's You" were the lowest of Train's career. Something had to give after Monahan nearly went solo, but he returned to Train in time for the band to issue its fifth album, the aptly named "Save Me." The smash hit "Hey, Soul Sister" revived Train's career, and 2012's "California 37" sparked a tour across the East coast of the United States.
Train was seen in Times Square on New Year's Eve for a special performance of their new single, "Mermaid," and the band has sold out performances in Europe through February 2013.

Dog Fibrosarcoma
Dog Fibrosarcoma
This rare type of Dog Bone Cancer falls into the category of non – osteosarcomas. It is more difficult to diagnose than Dog Osteosarcoma – OSA and much less common. They originate from the fibrous tissues of any bone in a dog's body. Diagnosis can be difficult. The cause is unknown and it is very rare when compared to the occurrence of fibrosarcoma.
Fibrosarcoma is most often found in older male dogs. There is one variety that does strike younger dogs, but is localized in the mouth – Dog Oral Fibrosarcoma. Fibrosarcoma affects the bones of the pelvis, skull and spine, but can also affect the legs of the animal.
Signs and Symptoms
• Dog Pain or lameness in the legs
• Swelling of bones
• Bleeding from the dogs mouth or Dog Bad Breath
• Any signs of difficulty eating or swallowing
• Your vet will perform a complete medical examination which will include the following:
1. X-rays of any areas that are affected
2. X-rays of the lungs
3. Blood count and chemistry profile
4. Urinalysis will be done
5. The tumor will be biopsied
Treatment Options
• Removal of the tumor which usually includes resection of the bone that is affected
• Dog Radiation Therapy is sometimes used in certain cases to help with pain relief. This is not always successful
• Pain medication
• Dog Cancer Chemotherapy will be used in the rare instance of metastasis
Home Care
Any dog with cancer will need pain medications. Your vet will prescribe something to help your dog with pain and try to assure some comfort. This may be done during the period of diagnosing as well as after the surgery is performed on your dog.
Your dog's activity should be greatly limited. This will prevent exacerbation of the pain as well as preventing a fracture that is a result of the Dog Cancer. The bone will be weakened by the cancer and care needs to be taken. There should be no play during this time. If you have stairs in your home, you should assist your dog when they have a need to go up or down. If you take your dog for a car ride, you should assist them in and out of the car as well. This may be a good time to encourage crate use. By providing a safe comfortable place for your dog to relax, there will be less risk of their overacting and further injuring themselves.
You should report any new bump, problems with your dog's mouth or lameness to your veterinarian immediately. Most lameness is associated with injury to tendons or ligaments or arthritis. This is especially true in older dogs. Mouth issues may be due to gum disease, tooth decay, Dog Oral Osteosarcoma or Dog Oral Fibrosarcoma. It can also be due to cancer. If your loving dog is not relieved with rest, treatment of their teeth and medications administered for pain, X-rays should be taken to rule-out the potential bone cancer.
There is also the possibility that the fibrosarcoma cannot be removed with surgery. The prognosis can still be positive. This type of cancer rarely metastasizes to other parts of the body.

CJ van der Linde bench pressed 180kg at the Springbok fitness tests to confirm his standing as the team's strongest player.
According to Die Volksblad, Jacques Cronje is the second strongest behind the Cheetahs' loosehead, while wing Bryan Habana is the fastest.
"CJ performed the bench presses with the greatest of ease and I'm convinced that soon he's going to improve even more," Bok conditioning coach Derick Coetzee told the newspaper. "Jacques' conditioning has improved by leaps and bounds. He bench pressed 170kg in testing, about 10kg heavier than last year."
Habana was the fastest player in testing, according to Coetzee.
"He ran the 10m in speed tests in 1.58 seconds, showing a marked improvement," said Coetzee. "The good time is an indication of his explosive power and on top of that he improved his time in the so-called off-season."

Results vs. Davidson (2007-04-05 19:00:00)
April 5, 2007
DAVIDSON, N.C. - Junior attacker Emily Diefendorf netted four goals to pace the Davidson Wildcat lacrosse team to an 11-9 triumph over the Pfeiffer University Falcons on Thursday night at Richardson Stadium.
With its second straight win, Davidson improves to 2-8, while Pfeiffer falls to 11-3.
Sophomore midfielder Becky Horton and freshman attacker Haley Cook each added a pair of goals, while freshman attacker Jen Crawford, junior Sarah Walter and freshman Bianca Mitchell each got on the score.
Brenna Clark and Jenn Gappert scored three goals apiece for the Falcons, while Kristen Kibler made 18 saves in 60 minutes in the goal.
"It wasn't the prettiest of wins, but it feels great to get another win," head coach Betsy Economou said. "I think we have to give a lot of credit to Pfeiffer. They played a very good game. I thought we played a great first half, but crumbled a bit in the second half and struggled some defensively, but our offense lifted us to the win."
The 'Cats led 6-2 at the half, but Pfeiffer scored seven second-half goals to get within two. Davidson outshot the Falcons 34-21 and picked up 26 ground balls to 11 for Pfeiffer. The 'Cats won 13 draws to eight for Pfeiffer and forced 21 turnovers while committing just 14.
Davidson got off to a strong start, posting four straight goals to open the game. Cook made good on an 8-meters attempt with 25:32 on the clock in the first. Horton showed her speed on an unassisted goal just a few minutes later, and Crawford and Mitchell made it 4-0 after 13 minutes.
Pfeiffer's Gappert put the Falcons on the board with 16:13 remaining in the half on an 8-meters shot, and after the team's played eight shutout minutes, Cook scored her second goal with 8:52 left, as she made good on a pass from junior midfielder Kate McDonald. Diefendorf gave the 'Cats their sixth goal of the half with three and a half minutes left in the half, but Sara Lefebvre connected on a pass from Clark to give the Falcons the final goal of the period.
After winning the opening draw, Clark needed just eight seconds to score the first goal of the second half for the Falcons, and Gappert netted her second of the game with 25:30 remaining to shrink Davidson's lead to 6-4.
Davidson traded goals with Pfeiffer for the next several minutes, but kept the Falcons within two the rest of the way. Diefendorf busted up the scoring streak, making it 7-4 with a goal at 23:45, but Gappert answered again for the Falcons to pull Pfeiffer within two. Walter's goal off a pass from Cook a minute later was answered by Ashley Hill, as Clark picked up her second assist.
Diefendorf's third goal with just over 20 minutes remaining pushed the 'Cats lead to 9-6, and the 'Cats played another shutout eight minutes before Heidi Karaszkiewicz put away a pass from Hill at 11:23 to keep the Falcons within reach, 9-7. Horton scored her final goal of the game with 10:40 remaining, and Diefendorf converted on an 8-meters attempt with 5:01 remaining to extend Davidson's lead to 11-7.
Two straight scores from Pfeiffer's Clark finished the game, with the last coming with just two seconds remaining on the clock.

The mentality that William Register uses to avoid being overwhelmed at golf tournaments is one that he belongs.
Whether the rising Williams High School senior is playing for the Bulldogs or in the U.S. Junior Amateur — which he'll start Monday in Truckee, Calif. — Register sees himself equal to the field.
"You have to feel like you're as good as the guys you're playing against," Register said.
With that mindset, it's hard for Register to feel like an underdog heading into the U.S. Junior Amateur.
Register qualified by winning a two-round sectional qualifier last month at North Carolina State's Lonnie Poole Golf Course. He was 6-under for the 36-hole event.
That has been part of what has been a busy summer for Register.
Before he won the sectional qualifier, Register recorded a ninth-place finish in the American Junior Golf Association's FJ Invitational at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro. On the course that will host next month's Wyndham Championship on the PGA Tour, Register flirted with shooting a 29 on the back nine in one round before coming up one stroke short of the milestone, finishing with a 1-under 69.
Add in that Register competed in the Wyndham Cup this week — a national East vs. West competition with a format similar to professional golf's Ryder Cup — and Register might feel almost at home when he starts his round Monday morning at Martis Camp Club.
"I feel really good, played well at the Wyndham Cup," Register said. "Hopefully I can translate momentum. … I've been playing a lot of tournaments recently, hopefully my experience from there can help me in the U.S. Junior."
Register had a record of 1-1-1 through the first two days of the Wyndham Cup before winning his singles match 1-up against Danny Ochoa of San Diego. A final-day charge came up short for Register's East team, as the West won 27½-22½.
The U.S. Junior Amateur will start with stroke play for the first two days before the field of 156 is whittled to the top 64. Those players will go into a tournament in match play starting Thursday, with the final match to be played Saturday.
The left-handed Register doesn't anticipate having an advantage to playing from the uncommon side of the ball.
"No idea, honestly. Pretty much everybody out there can curve it both ways," Register said. "I don't know if there are any courses that are better for lefty or a righty."
What Register does know is that he'll have to adjust to playing a course measuring about 600 yards longer than he typically plays. Because the course is more than 5,000 feet above sea level, the distance of the holes can seem inflated.
"The course we're playing … because of the elevation, the ball is going to go so much farther," Register said. "It's going to be a lot firmer. I'll have to get adjusted to that, hopefully I'll be able to get adjusted pretty quickly."
To make that adjustment, Register had practice rounds scheduled for Saturday and today.
Register is one of nine players from North Carolina competing in the U.S. Junior Amateur. It is his first time in California.

Women's Empowerment and Inclusion
India's poor performance on women's empowerment and gender equality is reflected in many indicators. In many parts of the country, sex ratio has dropped to fewer than 850 females per 1000 males. India is ranked 132 out of 148 countries on Gender Inequality Index as per the 2013 Global Human Development Report. Women from disadvantaged groups such as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and minorities in particular face discrimination, exploitation and limited employment opportunities. Our work recognizes that women are by no means a homogenous category. UNDP argues that where development is not 'engendered' it is 'en-dangered'. As a result it is ensured that vulnerable women benefit from all initiatives.
Our Goals
Gender equality and women's empowerment are central to UNDP's strategy for achieving the Millennium Development Goals and bringing about transformational change. UNDP works to ensure that women have a real voice in governance institutions at all levels, that they have equal participation in public dialogue and influence the decisions that will determine the future of their families and communities. These strategies are integrated into UNDP's work on poverty reduction, HIV, democratic governance, crisis prevention and recovery, energy and environment to achieve sustainable human development.more

They try to control what children are taught in three ways
1. winning local elections
2.Public funds for public schools
3.school choice
Fundamentalist sometimes gain control of local school boards by running their people in local election where they know that most people will not go to the trouble to vote and often don't know who is running. Then they turn out their members to vote. This way they can hire and fire teachers and can choose text books.
No. 2 they try to obtain public money for privite schools. I witnessed such an attempt while living in Lansing, Michigan in the year 2,000. Under the banner of "Kids First" the referendum appeared to gaining support at first, but when people became aware that these schools could admit only the children that they wanted to, and could be used for religious indoctrination, the voters rejected it overwhelmingly.
No 3 They try to retain control through "School choice". They argue that parents should have the right to select which schools their children attend. Sounds good doesn't it? But the real purpose is to keep lower educated people in control of the education of children. Taxi drivers, waitresses and factory workers should not run the schools.

Improving Sleep Quality
Sleep is key to our survival. Ideally, adults need at least six hours of deep, restorative sleep each day to stay healthy and prevent excessive waking fatigue.
Treating sleep apnea and reducing the severity of snoring are two important ways to improve the quality of sleep. Additionally, doctors recommend other steps for a healthy sleep routine, described as "good sleep hygiene."
- Dedicate at least eight hours to sleep each day
- Avoid using the computer right before bed because it stimulates the brain and can make it more difficult to wind down
- Keep the sleep environment quiet
- Exercise and keep your weight in control
- Don't smoke
- Avoid alcohol in the evening
It is important to avoid sleep aids when sleep apnea is suspected. Sleeping pills can depress brain function, slowing arousal when breathing stops and prolonging periods of decreased oxygen.

Selective Depletion of CD45RA+T Cells From Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Grafts for the Prevention of GVHD
Graft Versus Host Disease | Leukemia | Myelodysplastic Syndromes
What is the purpose of this trial?
RATIONALE: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is a treatment that can cure acute leukemia and myelodysplasia. After giving the patient chemotherapy and total body irradiation to stop the growth of cancer and remove the patient's diseased bone marrow, healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient to replace the patient's bone marrow and make red and white blood cells and platelets. Unfortunately HSCT is often complicated by 'graft versus host disease' (GVHD) in which the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells and cause tissue damage and severe symptoms. Removing a subset of the donor T cells, called 'naive T cells', before transplant may reduce the frequency and intensity of GVHD.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial will determine whether the removal of the naive T cells from donor cells can decrease the rate and severity of graft-vs-host disease while preserving specific immunity against infections in patients with acute leukemia or advanced myelodysplastic syndromes.

6 Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
Where we are?
The HIV prevalence rate in Tajikistan, according to registration as of 31 December 2012, is 50.7 per 100,000 population. According to experts estimate, the true number of people living with HIV/AIDS in Tajikistan is currently 12,759 people. Although among the HIV-infected, only 74.6% of HIV cases are recorded for men and 25.4% for women. In 50.4% of the registered cases, HIV was transmitted through IDUs, in 31% - through sexual contact, in 2.05% - from mother to child, whereas for 16.6% of other cases the transmission mode was not identified (National statistical data, 2012).
In Tajikistan, ongoing monitoring of the HIV epidemic is carried out on the basis of epidemiological surveillance of reported HIV infection cases and sentinel surveillance (SS). According to recent SS, HIV prevalence among IDUs has a steady decreasing tendency in the past years – 19.4% in 2007, 17.6% in 2008, 17.3% in 2009 and 13.5% in 2011. Furthermore, the large-scale awareness-raising activities among all targeted groups show the impact on behavior change of at-risk groups and general population as a whole. The 2011 BSS among IDUs revealed that 93.5% of IDUs (compared to 69% IDUs in 2010) used sterile injecting equipment the last time they injected. Noteworthy: the first appropriate BSS among MSM (N350) was conducted in 2011 within the extent of Dushanbe city and nearby areas. According to the BSS HIV prevalence among MSM comprised 1.5%. At the same time, 64.9% MSM indicated the use of condoms in the last 6 months.
The coverage of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has doubled from 2008 (376) to 2012 (828). According to official statistics, the coverage of HIV-infected pregnant women by ARV prophylaxis programmes to reduce the risk of mother-to-child HIV transmission has more than twofold increased in the period of 2008-2012.
The Government of Tajikistan, in close cooperation with local public organizations, has been implementing programmes aimed at enhancing universal access to HIV prevention among groups at highest risk and the general population, as well as programmes for treatment and care of the needy.
The reasons for the increase of HIV/AIDS epidemics are due to various geographical, economic, cultural, social and medical factors. They are varied and include: the close proximity of Tajikistan to Afghanistan resulting in increase of drug trafficking through Tajikistan and of IDU numbers. Economic difficulties are leading to unemployment and a consequent increase in number of labor migrants and SWs. High level of stigma and discrimination and low knowledge of HIV/AIDS prevention are the main barriers for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and high risk groups to access treatment, care, testing and counseling services.
Tuberculosis constitutes a serious problem for the country and communities. In Tajikistan annually 6,000 to 8,000 new registered cases of tuberculosis are detected and it's a growing trend. In 2012, the incidence rate reached 80 per 100,000 population. High treatment success rate achieved 80% among newly detected cases in 2012. One of the serious challenges of the National Program is a high rate of multi-drug resistant (MDR)-TB, 16.8% among new cases and 61.6% among previously treated TB patients, as well as a growing trend of HIV infected patients among TB patients.
UNDP has provided sound technical support in development of the National TB Control Programme for 2010-2015 that was endorsed by the Parliament of Tajikistan. Technical assistance was also provided in developing the implementation objectives of the National Programme as well as in strengthening the capacity of the Government's health structures. Only in 2012 over 400 specialists of PHC and TB centers were trained inside the country as well as outside. Extensive technical assistance was provided to implement and strengthen TB activities as well as TB/HIV, MDR-TB, PAL and other components of the National TB Control Programme. So far, over 50 technical documents were developed in the areas of TB control, MDR-TB, TB/HIV, infection control, Laboratory, drug management etc.
Special attention was given to the involvement of civil society organization in implementing activities focused on TB prevention, diagnosis and treatment in communities, through contracting local and international NGOs. Considerable improvements are achieved in directly observed treatment of TB and MDR-TB patients using the network of community volunteers, particularly in remote areas where access to health services is limited.
Today, with support of UNDP, TB patients in all districts and regions of the country are ensured with universal access to TB diagnosis and treatment. Other achievements include strengthened TB laboratory network, infrastructure development, successful implementation, TB/HIV and community DOTS and MDR-TB programmes.
In Tajikistan, malaria reached its peak in 1997 with about 30,000 registered cases. Given the complex epidemiological situation in early 2000s, based on the Tashkent Declaration «Forward from malaria control to elimination» signed by Tajikistan in October 2005, which underlined its political commitment to the elimination of malaria, the Government adopted a «Programme to combat tropical diseases (malaria) in the Republic of Tajikistan for 2006-2010".
In the course of its implementation, the interventions aimed at reducing malaria morbidity, its containing within the country and preventing the restoration of transmission in areas where malaria had been eliminated earlier.
As a result of these interventions, the situation with malaria in Tajikistan has considerably improved in recent years. In 2012, only 33 malaria cases were registered, which is by 45 cases or 57.7% less than for the same period of last year and almost 1,000 times less than in 1997.
Intensive malaria vector control in the implementation of the National Malaria control programme in Tajikistan for 2011–2015 has led to a sharp reduction in its incidence and a total eradication of the local cases of tropical malaria in the country since 2009.
The major factors negatively affecting the malarial situation and achieving the MDGs in Tajikistan are the growing intensity of malaria transmission in areas adjacent to the Afghan-Tajik border, inadequate access of the population to quality primary health care, lack of insecticides and a limited amount of anti-larval activities. In addition to this, there is a lack of information about the malaria situation in Afghanistan.HIV:

Researchers agree that most victims do not request civil orders after the first abuse incident or assault. According to the
NVAW survey, only 16.4 percent of rape victims, 17.1 percent of assault victims, and 36.6 percent of stalking victims petitioned
for protective orders following an abuse incident. [209] A survey of victims in battered women's shelters found that only 40 percent had obtained protective orders before fleeing
their homes and entering the shelter. [178] Finally, several studies based on samples of women who reported abuse to police found that only 12 to 22 percent had secured
protective orders. [120, 220]
Often, victims petition courts for orders after failing to stem the abuse through other means. In a multicourt study involving
both an inner city minority jurisdiction and a suburban non-minority city south of Boston, female victims had tried to protect
themselves in a variety of other ways before petitioning court for an order. Perhaps most significantly, 68 percent had left
their abuser at least once, and 15 percent had kicked their abuser out of the home at least once before petitioning the courts
for orders. In addition, 78 percent had called police at least once before, 30 percent had obtained counseling, and 25 percent
had called a hotline or had gone to a shelter. [182] In a Colorado study, half of the petitioners had left their abusers at the time of the incident that provoked the protective
order petition. [105] Studies have found that between 27 and 50 percent of victims are living with their abuser at the time of the incident that
prompted the order request [106, 133, 182], whereas between 37 and 46 percent file for orders after they have left. [74, 75]
As a result, most victims who petition courts for protection orders have suffered several years of abuse with the same abuser
before coming to court for the first time. In a multistate (and District of Columbia) study, researchers found that only 10
percent sought protection orders after a week of abuse, 15 percent experienced abuse for one to two years, and nearly 25 percent
had endured abuse for more than five years. [133] In a Colorado study, the average female petitioner suffered 12.74 abusive behaviors in the year before requesting their orders
(e.g., being threatened to being raped). About 20 percent reported that their prior abuse included the more serious behaviors,
including strangling, forced sex and beating. The duration ranged from once to 31 years, with a median of 2.4 years. [105]
The specific incident that prompted victims to petition for protective orders generally involved physical abuse. In the multistate
(and District of Columbia) study, more than a third had been threatened or injured with a weapon (36.8 percent), more than
half (54.4 percent) had experienced severe physical abuse, 83.9 percent experienced mild physical abuse, and almost all (98.9
percent) had been intimidated through threats, stalking and harassment. [133] In Quincy, Mass., almost two-thirds (64.4 percent) of the victims were physically assaulted, and another third had been threatened
with death or harm to them, their children or a relative. [134] Similarly, in a Colorado study, 56 percent of the female petitioners had sustained physical injuries during the incident
that led to the protective order requests. [105] In the two courts studied in Massachusetts (one located in a minority neighborhood of Boston, the other a south shore mid-sized
city), 92 percent of the petitions filed by female victims described incidents that constituted criminal acts, and 70 percent
of them constituted assault and battery. Breaking down the affidavits further, the researcher found that 48 percent described
separation violence; 22 percent described punishment, coercion and retaliation concerning children; and 12 percent described
retaliation for calling police. A total of 65 percent of the female petitioners told the researcher that the abuser had threatened
them with death, 35 percent had visited hospitals as a result of prior violence in the past, 30 percent suffered sexual abuse
and, of those who were mothers, 51 percent reported threats to take children from them or report them as unfit to child protective
services. [182]
On the other hand, the incident that prompts victims to seek orders may not be the most serious incident they experienced
at the hand of their abusers. Research has found that the seriousness of the incident itself is not predictive of a future
risk of reabuse. [23, 39, 134, 141, 145, 172]
Although petitions focus on the most recent, discrete incident, the incident rarely reveals fully the nature of the abuse
suffered by the petitioner or the risk for future abuse. Post-separation abuse frequently involves stalking behavior, a risk
factor for further abuse, and even lethality. To obtain more information, judges need to further question victims and review
respondents' prior criminal and civil history. (Research basis: Extensive studies of petitioners in disparate jurisdictions
as well as many abuser studies.)

Simple and Sweet Labels
I think these are really simple and sweet. All of my stationary including save the dates have the pine trees on them so everything is coordinated and these labels are perfect for that. They are larger than they appear, the mailing labels is approximately 5.5 cm by 2cm and the other label is 2cm by 2cm. Getting the color and text "just right" can be a frustrating process on the site, but the end result is worth it.

For years, North Carolina drivers were allowed to pay their annual vehicle fees through a piecemeal approach.
You shelled out your vehicle registration fee to the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles. Later in the year, you paid your vehicle tax bill to the tax office in the county where you live.
Beginning Monday, that will all change. Vehicle owners will get one bill each year for both expenses. And they'll be expected to pay it to the DMV all at once.
The new system is aimed at bringing in more revenue to both the state and its 100 counties by ensuring that vehicle owners pay what they owe.
State and county officials have been trying to alert vehicle owners of the coming changes since last year. The state even delayed the shift this year when it feared people weren't ready for it, said Gaston County Tax Director Jimmy Tanner.
"But now it is upon us," he said. "Beginning in July, everybody who receives their bills from the DMV will see the combined amount for the tax and tags."
What's wrong with the old system?
In the past, if someone hadn't paid a vehicle tax bill, the county would issue a "tag block" notification to the state. The DMV would then refuse to renew the license plate and registration until the taxes were paid.
But that wasn't 100 percent effective, as many drivers found ways around the tag block. One strategy was to report a stolen license plate and get a new one for a fee, without having to pay the tax that would have blocked renewal of the old one.
Counties have also struggled to collect all of the vehicle taxes they're owed. It becomes harder to get someone's money when they move out of state or total their car in a wreck, for example, Tanner said.
For years, Gaston County has only successfully collected about 85 percent of the vehicle taxes it is owed each year, compared to 99 percent of real estate taxes. State leaders say the North Carolina average is similar, meaning about $80 million a year in vehicle taxes goes uncollected.
What specifically will change?
From now on, the bill you get from the DMV will include the amount you owe for both your vehicle tag fee and your vehicle property taxes.
Vehicle owners will get the new, combined bill six to eight weeks before their registration is set to expire. People whose registration renewal date comes in September, for example, will get the combined bill in July.
The DMV will collect the combined payment and send the tax share to each respective county.
Counties will pay the DMV a base cost of $1.69 per bill collected.
What payment options will you have?
Several alternatives will be available, just as they have in the past.
The DMV will continue to allow vehicle owners to pay by mail, at a local DMV license and registration office, or online.
The key difference is that the Gaston County Tax Office will no longer be involved in accepting vehicle-related payments.
What problems may emerge?
Some drivers may find it irritating — and financially challenging — to shoulder a bigger bill at one time.
The state average for a vehicle tax bill is about $100, though the amounts vary. In Gaston and most other counties, the DMV tag renewal fee is $28.
There could also be problems with the data that must be converted from each tax office to the DMV, Tanner said.
If car, truck or trailer owners think there may be a problem with their vehicle valuation, Tanner said it's critical they contact the Gaston County Tax Office before paying the new, combined bill.
Working out the problem before July will be easier than paying the bill and then having to pursue a refund later, he said.
"That way, they won't have to go through the process of getting something revised again," Tanner said. "If you get the valuation question cleared up ahead of time, it will save a whole lot of trouble."
The county will also continue to pursue vehicle tax collections for bills that were due prior to July, Tanner said.
"We understand there will be some concerns and confusion from the taxpayers," he said. "We certainly expect to get some calls about this."
