Comments about Geax Saguaro 26" Tire:
My only regret is I didn't get this tire sooner. I do 10 or so races a year and was looking for a fast tire for single track but one that provided enough grip for all the steep climbs we do around here. This feels as fast, or faster than my small block high pressure and the grip has been as good or better than my velociraptor rear. I've been running it soft (around 26psi) lately while goofing around and even though our hear some popping off the roots and stones, I haven't had a single snake bite(puncture) after a month of riding. Love this tire and great for many conditions.

Young Indonesian survivors of sex trafficking enjoy the ocean during an outing sponsored by Oregon-based Compassion First, which operates a facility on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia.
Photo courtesy of Compassion First
Young Indonesian survivors of sex trafficking enjoy the ocean during an outing sponsored by Oregon-based Compassion First, which operates a facility on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia.
The Whidbey Island woman is involved with Compassion First. The Oregon-based nonprofit group is working to lift up the lives of child sex trafficking survivors in Indonesia.
"I am passionate about being part of this organization," said Lamoureux, 73, who for the second year has organized a banquet in Everett to raise money for Compassion First.
The event, "From Numbers to Names," is scheduled for Saturday at Comcast Arena's conference center.
Compassion First president and founder Mike Mercer visited several churches in Snohomish and Island counties over the past few months. A former pastor at Oregon's Beaverton Foursquare Church, Mercer talked about the mission of Compassion First, which he started in 2007.
At the heart of it is a place called Ruth's House, an after-care center in an undisclosed location in North Sulawesi, a province on Indonesia's Sulawesi island. The center has room for up to 12 girls.
With house mothers and other workers offering care and security, Ruth's House is funded entirely by Compassion First, an organization with Christian roots.
Bickey Lloyd, the group's chief of staff, said young women are helped with health and psychological care, education and work opportunities, and legal aid.
Compassion First has also reached out to older women reduced to working as prostitutes in a cemetery in the Indonesian city of Surabaya, Lloyd said. In December, Compassion First sponsored a "Holy Night" Christmas celebration for women who live and work in the cemetery, selling themselves for as little as 75 cents.
Lamoureux has never been to Indonesia. The seeds of her involvement in Compassion First were planted when she met Mercer in Biloxi, Miss., after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast in 2005. She was there for weeks as a volunteer with Oak Harbor's Living Word Foursquare Church. Mercer was volunteering in Biloxi as Beaverton Foursquare's pastor.
After Biloxi, where Lamoureux helped frame a house, she and Mercer stayed in touch. "Mike's life evolved into what is now finding solutions and hope for victims of sex trafficking," she said. "I just kind of followed. This really tugged at my heart."
And that's what led her to organize the fundraiser next weekend at Comcast. Saturday's dinner program includes a talk by Portland Police Bureau Sgt. Mike Geiger, who has been to Indonesia to help alleviate the tragedy of children sold or stolen for sex.
Geiger has seen the ravages of Indonesia's sex industry.
More than a year ago, he was part of a separate program funded by the federal Justice Department that provides training help to police in Bangladesh. Because his work with the sex assault unit in Portland focuses on domestic sex trafficking, he was introduced to Mercer. And last April, Geiger extended his trip leading a police team to Bangladesh to include a stop in Indonesia.
Since then, he has made more trips to Indonesia, where he has befriended a police chief and is planning a training for judges related to the sex-trafficking issue.
From Portland Friday, Geiger said there are good reasons to help victims in a far-off place, even as the sex trade touches young people here.
"Indonesia is a source and a destination," he said, explaining that young women there are taken from their homes by sex traffickers, and sex tourism also brings predators there.
The geography of many islands makes it a place nearly impossible to police, he said. It's also a poor country, Geiger said.
"Recruiters come into a small village and offer a poor family's daughter a chance to work, maybe as a hostess at a karaoke club. What happens is, she's put on a boat and taken away from home to a different country or an outlying island," Geiger said. Police have few resources to help, nor are poor families able to hunt down their children.
"People from around the globe travel to some of these nations for sex. This country's hands are not clean in this," Geiger said.
Indonesian parents "love their children like we do," he said.
"I believe we are strong enough, and our hearts are big enough to have compassion not only for our own children, but other people's children as well," Geiger said.
Lamoureux hopes people here are willing to hear what's happening so far away, and want to help.
"When you think about a 13-year-old girl being paid 12 to 15 times day for her services, it's stunning," she said. "My heart is with Compassion First."

Event Saturday
Compassion First, a nonprofit organization that helps victims of child sex trafficking in Indonesia, will hold a fundraising dinner and program at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Comcast Arena's Edward D. Hansen Conference Center, 2000 Hewitt Ave., Everett. Featured speaker at the "From Numbers to Names" banquet will be Sgt. Mike Geiger, Portland Police Bureau sex assault unit. Registration and an exhibit open at 4 p.m. Table sponsorship is $400 for a table of 10. There is no cost to attend as an individual, but rsvp needed; email email@example.com.

All Things Related to Parenthood
By Rebecca Teti
Monday: Parenting
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Terrible toddlers? Trying teens? Something in between? This weekly forum is the spot to share your questions and struggles about all things related to parenthood.
Please join us!
Has anyone read these books: "Parenting with Grace" by the Popcaks and/or "Dare to Discipline" by Dobson? I read the former and am now reading Dobson's book after loving "Bringing up Girls". The books dole out advice that is polar opposite. It reminds me of sleep books- (ie- rock baby to sleep, never rock baby to sleep, never cry-it-out, do cry-it-out). Can any of you share your experiences after carrying out the methods described in those books? I am wondering if I should just avoid parenting books- they confuse the heck out of me!
I have read both books, Dobson much longer ago, so I remember it less clearly. We read the Popcak's book because my husband hears them on Catholic radio, but it is much less our style. I think it is very important to be as consistent as possible (which isn't even close to 100%, right?) and it is important that you and your husband find parenting methods and discipline tools that you are both comfortable with. Beyond that, there isn't one right way to parent children. Some people do fall way on the attachment parenting side and can crack open a Dr. Sears book and get directions, and others fall way on the other side and can get a different book and follow it to a T. Most people fall somewhere in the middle and need to read a few things and pick what they like. For example, our first child was colicky and spend the first few months in a front carrier, but my next two were much more peaceful and I happily laid them on a blanket on the ground. We breastfed at least a year, but I wasn't interested in co-sleeping. I know this isn't advice based on using a particular method, but even if one of those methods worked great for one family, if it doesn't fit your and your husband's personality, it won't work as well for you. One book I would recommend is Dr. Ray Guarendi's "you are a better parent than you think." The Title speaks for itself!! He does give advice, but a lot of the book is about trusting yourself as a parent, putting yourself in charge of your family, the fact that parent's have rights, too, the idea that what works for one family might not work for yours, what worked for one of your kids might not work for the others, etc. It doesn't offer a cookie cutter answer, but it does help you gain confidence that you are a good parent.
Good advice, Andrea. I've not read any of Dr. Ray's books, but have heard him speak a handful of times at various Catholic homeschool conferences & on Catholic radio. Another book recommendation (more of a resource book, part parenting-part childcare) is "How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor" by the late Robert Mendelsohn, MD.
I think the fact that the Popcak book has a Catholic basis would give it somewhat of an edge over the Dobson book (which I have not read), although I have to admit that the Popcak book turned me off a little because of its bias toward attachment parenting and implication that other parenting styles are less biblical. I actually don't have anything against Attachment parenting (other than its name, which bothers me because it seems to imply that other parenting styles don't facilitate attachment). But I have an issue with implying that one parenting style is more Biblical than others.
I want composers who mind www.trustessaywriting.com. I love to experience treatises integral habit earlier the fitting tryst to record for some revisions that strength want to be made. The qualities of a beneficial writing on your advise remedy to yardstick the merit.

We are really enjoying the fact that the Harlem Globetrotters seem to be everywhere. One of our favorite examples of their omnipresence is their pistachio commercial. So colorful and fun. And it reminds us of our favorite Superbowl commercials. Harlem in the house!
We also love the Harlem Globetrotter's commitment to anti-bullying. Below is Encyclopedia Britannica's brief bio of the Harlem Globetrotters. We love the part about why they changed their name to the Harlem Globetrotters – so apropos.
Harlem Globetrotters, predominantly black professional U.S. basketball team that plays exhibition games all over the world, drawing crowds as large as 75,000 to see the players' spectacular ball handling and humorous antics.The team was organized in Chicago in 1926 as the all-black Savoy Big Five. Sports promoter Abe Saperstein acquired the team soon after and owned it until his death in 1966. In January 1927 the team debuted in Hinckley, Ill., under the name New York Globetrotters. The name was changed in 1930 to Harlem Globetrotters to capitalize on the cultural notoriety of one of New York's African American neighbourhoods. The barnstorming team amassed an impressive record over the next decade and in 1939 participated in the first professional basketball championship, losing to the Harlem Rens in the final game. The next year the Globetrotters won the tournament. It was about this time that they first experimented with adding comedy to their games. Inman Jackson was the first to assume the role of "clown prince" on the team. As the National Basketball Association became racially integrated in the 1950s, the opportunities for competitive games on the barnstorming circuit dried up. As a result, the team made comedic entertainment its central focus. Some outstanding Globetrotters were Reece "Goose" Tatum, Marques Haynes, Clarence Wilson, "Meadowlark" Lemon, Wilt "the Stilt" Chamberlain, Herb "Geese" Ausbie, and Lynette Woodard, the first woman to play for the team.Mannie Jackson, a former player, purchased the team in 1993. In 2000 the team returned to competitive play with a series of exhibition games against top collegiate teams. In 2002 the team was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. via Harlem Globetrotters American basketball team — Encyclopedia Britannica.
For over 75 years the Harlem Globetrotters have brought laughter and delight to millions with their ball-handling wizardry and wacky stunts. Yet the team has a surprisingly serious history-in fact they were instrumental in breaking down racial barriers and establishing the fledgling NBA. Join BIOGRAPHY-® for a comprehensive history of the "Clown Princes of Basketball" tracing the club's evolution from its earliest days as Chicago's "Savoy Big Five" through rare archival footage and interviews with players and experts including Jerry Saperstein founder Abe Saperstein's son and Bill Cosby. Learn about the ongoing conflict between players and coach; follow the careers of some of the most famous Trotters including Meadowlark Lemon; and witness their early games and 'round-the-globe touring. This is the definitive portrait of THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS the charismatic team that jump-started professional basketball and changed the face of America.

GREENSBORO — North Carolina State's Lorenzo Brown and Virginia Tech's Erick Green swapped texts earlier this week, the buddies and standout guards messaging about the All-Atlantic Coast Conference teams and headlining league awards that were due out soon.
"I kind of told him, 'I think you're going to get the Player of the Year,' " Brown said Thursday, remembering the exchange and his correct prediction. "He really didn't believe me. I told him, 'Numbers didn't lie.' He put up great numbers this year, and I'm proud of him."
Brown then turned off the friendly banter and took on the responsibility of pulling the plug on the high-powered Green during N.C. State's 80-63 victory in the first round of the ACC Tournament at Greensboro Coliseum.
Green, the league's newly crowned Player of the Year and the nation's scoring leader (25.4 points per game), experienced one of his least productive outings of the season – 15 points (his second-lowest total) on 5-for-19 shooting from the field (his second-worst percentage).
When these teams met a month ago in Raleigh, Brown and Green had chummy interactions at PNC Arena. And Green, also checked by Brown that day, poured in 29 points and dished out eight assists as the Hokies pushed the Wolfpack to overtime.
Nothing like that – neither their on-court demeanor nor Green's explosive yet efficient scoring – unfolded here Thursday. Brown's assertiveness wouldn't allow it.
"It's all about business right now," he said.
"I loved the way Lorenzo stepped up to the challenge," N.C. State forward Richard Howell said. "We knew we weren't going to be able to stop (Green). We was hoping to contain him. And that's what we did."
With Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried barking – "stance!" and "get 'em!" often were heard – N.C. State swarmed Virginia Tech's ball screens for Green, shutting off driving lanes with the double-teaming help of the 6-foot-9 C.J. Leslie and the 6-8 Howell, and pushing Green further off the 3-point line, which Brown said allowed him time to recover and contest shots.
"We felt like if we could trap him and keep the ball in his hands while we're trapping it, that would be the key," Howell said. "He's not the type of player who wants to give it up all the time. He doesn't need to."
What resulted was a series of lean-back jumpers that Green mostly clanged – he went 2-for-11 from the field during the second half as N.C. State broke away – and limited opportunities to penetrate and thus get his Hokies teammates involved.
Green finished with one assist and four turnovers in 38 minutes of playing time. At least two of those turnovers led to highlight-reel fastbreaks for the Wolfpack, with Brown running the show.
Brown said he made no pre-game announcements or declarations in the N.C. State locker room about his defensive assignment on Green.
"Nah, I felt like I could do a good job on him and contain him," Brown said, "so I took it upon myself to do that. He's the best scorer in the league, best scorer in the nation. It was going to be tough."
And Brown proved up to the task as the Wolfpack advanced to today's quarterfinals.

LUMBERTON — For Dalton Sells, the fair is more than just a place to enjoy rides, munch collard sandwiches and socialize with friends and family, it's a place to compete.
On Saturday, the ninth and final day of the 67th annual Robeson Regional Agricultural Fair, Sells and his lamb, Wise, won the Senior Division of the Regional 4-H Youth Lamb Show and took home the grand championship.
The 17-year-old high school senior traveled two hours from Oakboro to show off his lamb.
"This is a good show, a good arena and good competition," said Sells, who has began competing in lamb shows about three years ago. "I'm happy I won; nobody likes getting beat."
Along with a trophy and ribbons, Sells won $100 in cash that will go to his school, West Stanly High School.
This year's show consisted of two categories, Showmanship and Lamb Premiums.
Showmanship is the an evaluation of how the trainer handles his or her lamb and the trainer's knowledge of lambs. The Lamb Premium is about the quality of the meat.
Twelve-year-old Fiona Walsh has been participating in lamb shows for about two years.
Her lambs Elf and Nancy are mix-breaded Sulffolk and Dorper lambs. This year, she placed fourth in the Intermediate Showmanship Division.
"My mom made me come this year," Walsh said.
But Walsh said training lambs is something that she might consider for a career.
"It's such a good opportunity for kids to learn about the responsibilities of taking care of animals," said Michelle Shooter, coordinator of the Region 4-H Youth Lamb Show. "They have to feed them and raise them."
Shooter has coordinated the lamb show at the fair for seven years.
"It's great to see them grow and learn from year to year," Shooter said.
Other events from Saturday's finale included the 19th annual Chicken Bog Cook-off, the Youth Steak Cook-off, the 37th annual Diaper Derby, the "U Got Talent!" show, Pedal Tractor Drag Racing and the American Racing Mowers Association Nation Championship finals.
Fair President Allen Faircloth said, despite all of the rain and the fair having to close for one day, he believes this year was a success.
"I was shooting for a goal of 100,000 attendance rate, but because of the rain, that's not going to happen." Faircloth said. "I hope to meet 75,000."
The final numbers won't be available until Monday, but Saturday's crowd was strong with people enjoying mild temperatures and partly sunny skies.
One of the biggest success days was on Thursday when there was free admission for people who brought five cans of food to be donated to the Robeson County Church and Community Center Food Pantry.
All of the money raised at the fair will go back into support the event and the fairgrounds, or will be donated to community organizations such as the United Way of Robeson County.
"We appreciate all of the people who came out this year and we had a wonderful time participating in all of the events," Faircloth said.

The brain of all sentient organisms evolved to store information.
That stored information is the program that it uses to survive.
Consciousness evolved.
Any quality that a biological organism has effects its on the way it responds to its environment.
I'm not sure why you believe that consciousness has no effects on natural selection.
Stored information is not a program. It is also not the only factor involved in the survival of an organism. In most cases it would arguably be the least important factor (except for humans).
Consciousness, as Sam Harris explains, is not responsible for our actions, so how can it have any phenotype effects for natural selection to act upon?
Consciousness itself does not evolve. It dies when we die. It lasts only a single generation and has no capacity to evolve.
It's evolution is purely the result of the evolving development of the brain itself.
It isn't that live is meaningless.
The human brain evolved to make connections, relationships and seek meaning.
It is logical that it the psychological self would seek out the meaning of its own imaginary existence.
Ultimately it has no existential reality and its own term "meaning" is meaningless.
And you are right.
Simply being can be high fun.
I find it much more enjoyable since the desire to figure it all out evaporated.
Life is meaningless. To say it does is to say a rock has meaning, or a mountain has meaning.
The human brain evolved to keep us replicating in competition with our environment and for no other reason.
Consciousness is a byproduct of the complexity required of a brain to do this in its current and past environment.
Logic actually follows that we would try to understand the origin of our existence. Finding it, for me at least, has been enlightening.
I tend to think that any quality of any living organism is subject to evolution.
Perhaps we can disagree to agree.

Men's Soccer Blanks Coker 3-0 Behind Moreno and Falcon Defense
October 20, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Using a pair of first half goals and five saves by goal keeper Alex Moreno (Huntersville, NC), Pfeiffer University blanked Coker College 3-0 in Conference Carolinas mens soccer action on Wednesday afternoon. The win at N.E. Lefko field pushes the Falcons to 2-6-3 overall, 2-3-1 in league play. The Cobras loss dips them to 6-4-4, 3-2-2.
Scoring started in the 19th minute with a rare own goal registered by the Falcons. Boo Tesh (Kannapolis, NC) sent a hard cross from the end line towards the goal mouth that was deflected in by a Coker defender for the matchs first tally. With just under 10 minutes left in the half, Jeff Cannon (Lewis Center, OH) flicked in his second of the season as Fahret Salihovic (Charlotte, NC) sent a cross over to the midfielder similar to the one earlier in the match when Pfeiffer went up 1-0.
Tesh and the Falcons added an insurance goal in the 80th minute for the second halfs only strike. Tesh worked a little give and go with Alex Landim (Brockton, MA) to put home his first of the year.
Coker out-shot Pfeiffer 21-14 overall, 6-5 on goal led by Storm Wisharts (Brampton, ONTARIO) five shots, three on cage. Pfeiffer will return to action on Saturday afternoon traveling to Barton for a 3:00 p.m. match with the Bulldogs.

Shoemaker's Blast Prompts Extra Innings; Baseball Falls to #18 UNC-Pembroke 4-3
February 15, 2011
Audio Broadcast Archived Below!
MISENHEIMER, N.C. A sacrifice-fly in the top half of the eleventh inning by Bard Bridgeman (Laurel Hill, NC) broke a 3-3 tie as the 18th-ranked UNC-Pembroke Braves escaped with a 4-3 extra inning win over Pfeiffer University in non-conference baseball action on Tuesday afternoon. UNCP improves to 8-0 on the year while the Falcons fall to 4-4 after three runs in the ninth forced the contest into extra frames.
J.J. Williams (Sicklerville, NJ) scored the eventual winning run on Bridgemans sac fly reaching earlier in the inning on a base hit bunt. After an Alex Pearce (Rocky Mount, NC) fielders choice and walk by Josh Haley (Fayetteville, NC), Bridgeman lifted the one-out, game-winning fly ball to center.
Pfeiffer trailed 3-0 entering the bottom of the ninth as a rare strikeout wild pitch sequence to Aarin Sharpe (Winterville, NC) put the first runner aboard with one out. Jon Gray (Granite Falls, NC) followed with a single to right and moved to third as the ball slid past the right fielder, who happened to be Bridgeman. Sharpe scored on the error as the Falcons got on the board trailing 3-1. Eric Shoemaker (Huntersville, NC) then came up clutch with the game-tying, opposite field two-run shot to give Pfeiffer life in a 3-3 game. The Falcons had the bases loaded with one out later in the inning, but reliever Braxton Lewis (Seven Springs, NC) got out of the jam with a fly out and strikeout.
UNCP struck first earlier in the fifth inning as Kyle Adair (Fayetteville, NC) delivered a lead-off solo shot to left for a 1-0 lead. In the eighth, the Braves added on two more runs on a RBI fielders choice by Keith Whitman (Elkin, NC) and bases loaded walk by Adair.
Lewis ended up getting the win tossing 2.2 innings of relief allowing two hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Luke Wilhelm (Lexington, NC) was tagged with the loss after throwing the final four frames. Haley and Williams led the Braves with two hits on the afternoon while Gray paced the Falcons going 3-for-4 with a run scored.
Pfeiffer gets back on the diamond Wednesday afternoon hosting Carson-Newman. First pitch between the Eagles and Falcons is set for 2:30 p.m. Live stats and live audio will be available through www.gofalconsports.com.

Renaud Lavoie via twitter: 2 NHL sources told Lavoie that Blue Jackets winger Rick Nash is on the trade market. Nash has a no-movement clause.
Kevin Paul Dupont via twitter: A Bruins offer for Nash would likely have to include Rask-Krejci or Rask-Lucic at core.
Aaron Portzline via twitter: Blue Jackets GM Scott Howson through a spokesman declines to comment on the report that Rick Nash is on the trade block.
It was only this evening that the most connected man in hockey, TSN's Bob McKenzie said on national television that "Rick Nash, to our knowledge, is not available." It struck me as a sane comment in what is generally an insane time.
So I'm very surprised to write that things appear to have changed.
Renaud Lavoie, a hockey reporter with RDS, tweeted the following tonight:
2 NHL sources told me that #bluejackets Rick Nash is on the market. Nash have a no-movement clause and will controle his destiny.
RDS doesn't have quite the same reputation for accuracy as its sister channel, TSN, but Renaud Lavoie is a veteran reporter and a solid source. Additionally, in his French-language original article, Lavoie states that his original source for the story was a National Hockey League general manager. It's also been interesting to note the reaction out of Columbus, as reported by Blue Jackets' beat writer Aaron Portzline:
#CBJ GM Scott Howson, thru spokesman, declines comment on RDS report that #CBJ captain Rick Nash is on trade block.
Of course, Lavoie isn't the first person to suggest that a Nash trade could go down. The Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch wrote on Saturday that the New York Rangers were interested in Nash and that Nash might be willing to waive his no-trade clause to get a deal done. However, given Garrioch's reputation for passing along rumours, his column alone wasn't sufficient evidence to believe a trade could be in the works. The additional report from Lavoie and the reaction from Scott Howson makes the story decidedly more interesting.
Lavoie cautions that Nash controls his own destination because of his no-trade clause, and that only a few teams have a shot at acquiring the Columbus star. In other words, if he's going somewhere, it almost certainly won't be a team like Columbus (or Edmonton) – it will be a team with a clear chance at winning the Stanley Cup this season.
Update: The New York Daily News reports this evening that the Rangers and Blue Jackets have had personnel at each others games over the past month, including Columbus general manager Scott Howson, who attended the Rangers/Flyers match on Saturday night. They also spoke to Nash's agent, Joe Resnick, who declined to comment on the rumour. While these are interesting facts in light of other reports, they're hardly definitive: professional scouts scout other professional teams on a regular basis, and with the Blue Jackets out of the playoff picture there's no doubt they'll be making moves at the deadline – moves that very well may not include Nash.
My link
I would love to have Rask here.
I would put all this in the Rick Nash Rangers rumor thread, but I feel like there should be a Rick Nash trade rumors thread in general.

Modern medications save millions of lives a year. Yet any one medication might not work for you, even if it works for other people. Or it might cause severe side effects for you but not for someone else.
Your age, lifestyle and health all influence your response to medications. But so do your genes. Scientists are working to match specific gene variations with responses to particular medications.
With that information, doctors can tailor treatments to individuals. That's what pharmacogenomics is all about. Part of a new field called personalized medicine, pharmacogenomics offers the promise of predicting whether a medication is likely to help or hurt you before you ever take it.
Imagine you've had a heart attack and your doctor wants to give you medication to lower your risk of having another. Taking into account such factors as your weight, age and medical history, your doctor might prescribe a blood-thinning drug to help prevent blood clots from causing another heart attack.
Without testing, neither you nor your doctor knows exactly how you'll react to the medication. It may not work for you, or you may have serious side effects such as bleeding. You might have to try different doses — or even different medications — before finding a treatment that works for you.
Pharmacogenomics speeds up that process. Before you take a single dose of medication, you can have a test to see how you're likely to respond to the medication. With that information, your doctor can tailor the dose or avoid that drug entirely and prescribe a different one.
Tests are now available that can help predict whether people with cancer or other diseases are likely to have good responses — or bad reactions — to certain medications.
One such test looks at a group of enzymes that are responsible for breaking down and eliminating more than 30 types of medications, including antidepressants, chemotherapy drugs and heart medications.
Some people, because of their genetic makeup, aren't able to break down these medications fast enough. The medications can then build up in the body and cause severe side effects. Conversely, some people break down these medications too quickly — before they have a chance to work.
Genetic testing can identify people with these genetic variations so that their doctors can make more-informed prescribing decisions, thus increasing the likelihood of treatment success and minimizing the risk of side effects.
Although pharmacogenomics has much promise, it's still in its early stages. Millions of genetic variations exist, and identifying them could take many years. Research is under way, however, and pharmacogenomics may someday be part of routine medical care.

JON CARDINELLI writes the Stormers' sustained forward aggression and attacking variation will be put to the test when they front the Crusaders this week.
The Stormers may have been feeling the pressure at the start of 2012, but there's little doubt that each subsequent win has lightened the mental load. It could be said that after winning six from six, a record that makes them the only unbeaten team in the competition, there isn't too much pressure on the Cape team to beat the Crusaders in Christchurch or the Reds in Brisbane.
During the planning stage of their campaign, the Stormers coaches would have identified these two league fixtures as the toughest. The Crusaders and Reds not only qualified for the 2011 final, but beat the Stormers in the build-up to the play-offs. They did so at Newlands, and so you would expect them to be even tougher to beat in Australasia in 2012.
But this season has seen the Stormers gaining something more than a six from six record. They're constantly talking about a winning culture and the collective belief that has swelled with every victory. It's for this reason that they won't be looking at the coming game as one they can afford to lose, but indeed one they could well win.
The coaching trio of Coetzee, Matt Proudfoot and Robbie Fleck were speaking about the clash with the Crusaders during the Stormers' bye week in round three. Listening to them talk, you got the sense that they wanted to make a statement against a Crusaders side that had beaten them twice in 2011, the second time through a dominant forward effort.
After the Sharks game, Proudfoot said that he had been impressed with the progress of the pack. In subsequent weeks, the forwards coach has spoken about tweaking the game in certain areas but has always commented on the growth of the unit as they overwhelmed the opposing pack on each occasion.
There were doubts that they would get up for a game against the Highlanders. They'd invested so much into the forward-oriented melee with the Bulls the week before. They'd endured a taxing journey to Dunedin. Surely the forwards couldn't get up for another bout with a hard-nosed Highlanders pack?
There were instances where the Stormers were overpowered, and numerous examples of inaccuracies at the breakdown point. But apart from a few lapses and moments of indiscipline, the Stormers forwards again showed tremendous heart and no small measure of collective clout.
It bodes well for the coming match against the Crusaders, a match they have been looking forward to all season. They won't have Schalk Burger, who is recovering from a knee injury, but they will feel confident that they can match the Crusaders, especially since their scrum has done so well in 2012.
The Crusaders started the season slowly but have become more of a force in recent weeks. They so nearly pipped the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld, and the result aside, they showed what they are capable of when their forwards fire.
While the Stormers will have recovered from their jet lag, the Crusaders will come into this match on the back of a long journey from South Africa. And yet, there's good reason to believe the travel won't detract from the Cantabrians' performance.
The Crusaders showed their mettle last season when the effects of an earthquake forced them to play the majority of their matches outside of Christchurch. They eventually qualified for the play-offs, and flew to Cape Town to tackle the South African conference champions. They not only beat the Stormers on that occasion, they blew them away.
So the Stormers shouldn't be counting on fatigue to slow the Crusaders down. They also shouldn't be expecting the off-colour outfit that turned out for the first few fixtures. The determined showing in Pretoria was a powerful statement: the Crusaders are back. And after the eye-gouging allegations that have since been proved false, they are angry.
The Stormers will need to play out of their skins to match the Crusaders forwards. From there, they will need to do more with their attacking opportunities.
They were more clinical in turning turnovers into points against the Highlanders, and that showed how an aggressive defence can be used as a powerful offence. But they may not enjoy such dominance against the Crusaders.
They also won't be let off the hook when they don't protect the ball. The Highlanders put the Stormers under pressure at times but failed to earn much reward. They affected a series of breakdown turnovers and won numerous penalties in this area, but still struggled to breach the Stormers defence.
The Crusaders may boast a potent attacking unit, but they play a similar game to that of the Stormers and Bulls. They attempt to pressure teams with a dominant forward effort and savvy tactical kicking display.
Much will depend on the performances of both packs this Saturday, but if the respective heavies cancel each other out, then the Stormers backs will need to produce something different in order to compromise that impressive Crusaders defence.

Naomi Klein:
Addicted to risk
Days before this talk, journalist Naomi Klein was on a boat in the Gulf of Mexico, looking at the catastrophic results of BP's risky pursuit of oil. Our societies have become addicted to extreme risk in finding new energy, new financial instruments and more ... and too often, we're left to clean up a mess afterward. Klein's question: What's the backup plan?

text: NATIONAL PENN Info Resources Fraud Information Center Print Fraud Information Center National Penn takes the protection of your personal information and assets very seriously. To reduce the risk of online fraud, scams or identity theft, we employ a myriad of smart safeguards ranging from passwords and firewalls to the encryption of confidential banking data. We also believe that one of the best defenses is good consumer education. To help keep you abreast of the most current fraud protection information, check our alerts and informative links below. Recent News & Alerts OCC Alert 10 March 2015 Fictitious Correspondence Regarding the Release of Funds Supposedly Under the Control of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Fictitious correspondence, allegedly issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) regarding funds purportedly under the control of the OCC and possibly other government entities, is in circulation. Correspondence may be distributed via e-mail, fax, or postal mail. Any document claiming that the OCC is involved in holding any funds for the benefit of any individual or entity is fraudulent. The OCC does not participate in the transfer of funds for, or on behalf of, individuals, business enterprises, or governmental entities. The correspondence may indicate that funds are being held by a specific financial institution and that the recipient is required to pay a "Clean Bill of Records Certificate (C.B.R.C.)" fee before the funds are released to the beneficiary. E-mails being sent in regard to this scam appear to be sent from officials at the OCC, but they are not. The e-mail address used in the electronic correspondence may be from [firstname.lastname@example.com]. This material is being sent to consumers in an attempt to elicit funds from them and to gather personal information to be used in possible future identification theft. Before responding in any manner to any proposal supposedly issued by the OCC that requests personal information or personal account information, or that requires the payment of any fee in connection with the proposal, recipients should take steps to verify that the proposal is legitimate. At a minimum, the OCC recommends that consumers contact the OCC directly to verify the legitimacy of the proposal (1) via email at email@example.com; (2) by mail to the OCC's Special Supervision Division, 400 7th St. SW, Suite 3E-218, MS 8E-12, Washington, DC 20219; (3) via fax to 571.293.4925; or (4) by calling the Special Supervision Division at 202.649.6450. contact state or local law enforcement. file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov if the proposal appears to be fraudulent and was received via e-mail or the Internet. file a complaint with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service by telephone at 888.877.7644; by mail at U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Office of Inspector General, Operations Support Group, 222 S. Riverside Plaza, Suite 1250, Chicago, IL 60606-6100; or via the online complaint form at https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx, if the proposal appears to be fraudulent and was delivered through the U.S. Postal Service. Information regarding the subject of this or any other alert that you wish to bring to the attention of the OCC may be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. FBI Alert 24 February 2015 According to a recent FBI alert, cyber thieves stole nearly $215 million from businesses in the last 14 months using a scam that starts when business executives or employee email accounts are compromised or spoofed. The fraudster is able to steal money with the help of an unwitting accomplice, an employee who is fooled into submitting a wire request. From the perspective of the company's financial institution, the transaction appears completely legitimate. Even confirmation calls or other out of band authentication will reach the employee who did indeed submit the request. There are two versions of this scheme: The first version is an invoice from a supplier or business partner via a spoofed email address. A fraudster compromises the email of a business user employed by their target company, for example, someone in Accounts Payable. They then monitor the email of the business user looking for vendor invoices. Once a legitimate invoice is found, they modify the beneficiary information such as the routing number and account number to which the payment is to be sent. The fraudster then spoofs the vendor's email, by creating an email address that is so close to the vendor's email that most people would not catch the change, and submits the invoice to the target company. The invoice is paid based on familiarity of the vendor name and services provided and would not be detected until the actual vendor contacts the company about a missing payment. The second version is a payment request by an executive whose email account has been compromised. A fraudster compromises the email account of an executive such as the CFO. A wire transfer is then requested from the compromised email account to a second employee within the company who is normally responsible for processing such requests, such as the Controller. A wire is sent to the company's financial institution and sent out, even after the financial institution's verification process is completed, which can be, but not limited to a call back to the Controller. While wire requests are the preferred method of extracting funds, ACH payments requests should not be ignored. Both schemes hinge on an email request that appears completely legitimate, either coming from an actual email account or one that is so similar that all but the closets scrutiny would miss the variation. You can help deter this fraud by evaluating requests that are presented via email. For example; is the request international, when normally the vendor payment is state side? Does the CFO of the company usually email such wire requests, is this out of the normal pattern of activity for them? If anything at all seems odd while processing the request, contact the person requesting by phone to verify the payment. Fraudulent Correspondence Attributed to Officials of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency 13 November 2014 Fictitious correspondence, allegedly issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) regarding funds purportedly under the control of the OCC and possibly other government entities, is in circulation. Correspondence may be distributed via e-mail, fax, or postal mail. Read more > Ebola Phishing Scams and Malware Campaigns 17 October 2014 National Penn Bank would like to remind customers to protect against email scams and cyber campaigns using the Ebola virus disease (EVD) as a theme. Phishing emails may contain links that direct users to websites which collect personal information such as login credentials, or contain malicious attachments that can infect a system. A sample screenshot of this phishing attempt is provided below: Please remember to use best security practices when reviewing email. Do not open unsolicited emails which contain file attachments, embedded links or URL addresses to websites, as they may contain viruses or malware. We encourage you to take the following preventative measures to help mitigate the security risks: Do not follow unsolicited links and do not open unsolicited email messages. Use caution when opening email attachments. Use caution when visiting untrusted websites. Community Health Systems Breach 21 August 2014 National Penn has been notified of a data breach with regards to the Community Health Systems network which operates 206 hospitals across the US. Hackers have gained access to customer names, social security numbers, physical addresses, birthdays and telephone numbers. Based on the information available at this time it is believed that no bank information has been compromised. For more information on the breach: www.chs.net/media-notice-august-19-2014/ For more information on Identity theft please visit the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft. The FTC maintains a database of identity theft cases used by law enforcement for investigations, and can advise you on your next steps. The FTC may also be reached at 877.382.4357. Protecting your Passwords 18 August 2014 Protecting your passwords is one way to keep your identity and your personal information safe while online. Creating complex passwords and changing them regularly are the best ways to combat your passwords being stolen or hacked into. Make your passwords long. While 6-8 characters is a recommended setting, using over eight characters is one way to make your password more complex Use a combination of letters, numbers and special characters Add numbers to the middle of the password instead of the beginning or end. Example: Pas123swor!d instead of using Password123! Avoid using common terms or easy to guess words. Identifying information such as your date of birth, address or relatives names should only be used when combined with a complex password Avoid using the same password for more than one site Always keep any written record of passwords in a secure place Make changing your passwords a priority. Mark your calendar and change them every three to six months. How to Tell if You've Been Hacked 2 June 2014 Installing and updating antivirus software can go a long way toward protecting your computer and mobile devices from viruses and malware, but it's important to remember that hackers are always tinkering with their tactics in order to evade detection. Watch out for these signs that you've been hacked. Read more > Back to Top
