Silly season continues here at Asphalt & Rubber. Next up on the rumormill is James Toseland, who is rumored to be looking at a return to World Superbike, possibly with the Alstare Suzuki team.
Continued reports suggest that BMW is getting closer and closer to releasing a small-displacement motorcycle single-cylinder motorcycle (codenamed the K03), which is being co-developed with Indian brand TVS. The machine is expected to be in the 250cc to 300cc range, be engineered by BMW Motorrad in Germany, but built by TVS in India. Pictures of the test mule have been on the internet (see above), but the final design is said to be similar to the TVS Draken concept that we saw this time last year. Loyal A&R readers will remember that BMW partnered with TVS in early 2013, in a collaboration that saw no investments or joint-ventures produced, thus making their business a pure co-development deal.
What happens when you combine a ritzy golf course, an amazing collection of motorcycles, and an eclectic crowd? You get the Quail Motorcycle Gathering in Carmel, California at the Quail Lodge and Golf Club. Not your typical venue for a motorcycle gathering, the Quail brings together vintage, classic, and racing motorcycles in a setting that can only be described as "chic". This is definitely not your standard motorcycle show. The event pays tribute, not only to the significant motorcycles from our past, but also to the heroic racers who risked their lives on some of these machines. The tickets aren't cheap at $75, but admission includes a gourmet catered lunch, an opportunity to see a very diverse collection of motorcycles, and a chance to mix and mingle with a group of very proud and dedicated motorcycle owners.
I was recently corrected by Ducati as to the proper naming of its pinnacle Superbike model, now that it does not share the 1,299cc displacement with the other models of that name. Officially the 2015 Ducati Panigale R, the 1,199cc v-twin superbike is the top of the line model from Bologna, and it has some major differences from its "S" and base model siblings to fit that special designation. The 2015 Ducati Panigale R is equipped with an IMU, cornering ABS, and Ducati's GPS-using data acquisition system — making it a very tech-savvy package. While we were fairly unmoved by the 2013 Ducati Panigale R, mostly because it didn't seem to offer enough exotica to justify its added price, the 2015 model certainly fits the bill. We have 92 high-resolution photos of it, after the jump. Enjoy!
After a few grayscale photos of the new Africa Twin hit the internet from Honda's Australian patent filing, now even more photos have emerged, which show the adventure-tourer from every angle…literally. The Honda CRF1000L, as it is designated, will features a 1,000cc parallel-twin engine, an option dual-clutch transmission that has been tuned for road use, and a setup very similar to Honda's Dakar stage-winning bike. If the hype is to be believed, the Africa Twin is going to be a very capable off-road ADV bike, something that the machine's 21-inch front wheel hints at with a purpose.
We have already seen "spy photos" of the KTM 1290 Super Duke based tourer. Some more photos are making the rounds again, you've probably seen them on other sites. We stumbled upon this render of the new model, and think it looks pretty spot-on to what the general public can expect to see later this year, when undoubtedly the new model debuts. Whether you call it an SMT or a Grand Tourer, this new model looks simply to be a Super Duke with a windscreen and luggage options — an interesting choice from the Austrian brand. On the plus side, using the 1290 Super Duke platform allows KTM to rapidly produce a sporty touring model, which should help KTM keep a horse in the sport-touring category.
After Honda first released heavily cropped and vignetted photos of the 2016 Honda Africa Twin, we have been wanting to know more about the 1,000cc ADV bike. It helps that a video leaked of the Africa Twin out playing in the dirt, but of course we know that the CRF1000L (as Honda designates it) will be very similar to the True Adventure prototype that Honda brought to EICMA. But like the spoiled children we the media are, we want to open all our Christmas presents right now, so we go digging through the interwebs for every little clue. Luckily, patent applications for the Honda Africa Twin's design show the new off-roader in all its glory, sans color unfortunately. Still, this is our first glimpse at the final design of the Africa Twin, which will be in US dealers early next year.
It looks like we were only partially correct in our news that Brammo would be returning to the Isle of Man TT, as the brand's sister company, Victory Motorcycles, will in fact be racing an electric entry — one that looks like a rebadged Brammo Empulse RR — in the TT Zero event at the historic road race. According to its press release, Victory Motorcycles will field a two-rider team, comprised of William Dunlop and Lee Johnston (a photo of "General Lee" testing a Brammo superbike is what initially sparked this news). While Victory is calling its racing platform a "Victory electric race prototype motorcycle" the chassis and fairings give way to a shape we recognize as the Brammo Empulse RR electric superbike.
American Honda dropped a bombshell today, confirming that the teased "True Adventure" ADV model will enter production, and be named the "Africa Twin", as expected. Officially designated at the Honda CRF1000L, the Africa Twin will be a 2016 model (in dealerships early next year), and best of all, it will be coming to the USA. The 2016 Honda Africa Twin draws upon a legacy of rugged off-road race-proven machines that also wore its name, a sign that Honda intends the CRF1000L to be very capable off-road, and thus not follow the road-going adventure-sport trend.
April 2015 was the best sales month ever for Ducati Motor Holding, with the Italian firm delivering 7,309 units to customers. This figure is up 29% compared to last year, and tops Ducati's previous best month ever by 800 units (April 2014 with 6,500 motorcycles). Why the sudden spurt in sales for the Bologna Brand? We have two words for you: Ducati Scrambler. Unsurprisingly, the budget-priced Scrambler range is seeing a strong market response, and of course its getting some help from the all-new Ducati Multistrada 1200 and the Ducati 1299 Panigale line. For the first four months of the year, Ducati is reporting that sales in 2015 are up 10% over last year's models, with 17,881 motorcycles sold between the start of January and the end of April.
The MotoGP grid is looking in surprisingly good health in 2015. The series has come a long way in the five years since 2010, when there were just 17 full-time entries on the grid, and Suzuki was teetering on the brink of withdrawal. Dorna's CRT gambit has paid off: the much-maligned production-based bikes may not have been competitive, but they did spur the manufacturers into action to actually supply more competitive machinery to the private teams. The CRT bikes became Open class bikes, and Dorna's pet project of standardized electronics has been adopted into the MotoGP rules. From 2016, there will be one class again, with everyone on the same electronics, the same fuel allowance, and the same tires. A bigger change is coming for 2017.

33 year old woman | Louisville, KY, USA | Seeking men 29-40 within 50 miles
New to Louisville and looking for someone to enjoy great food, great beer and show me what this city has to offer...
Some of my friends have said that I am a tough nut to crack. I will admit that is true in unfamiliar situations, but once I find my comfort zone and open up, I have been told I am just a nut. I love to relax and chill out, but also love being silly and goofing around. I am as loyal as can be and would do anything for the people I care about. I have a passion for baking and that passion comes from seeing the look on someone's face after they eat one of my chocolate chip cookies. No need to be humble, they are the best! I have made a lot of big changes in my life over the last couple of years and have struggled to find what it is I really want out of life. I have just moved from Boston, where I have spent my entire life, to Louisville, where I don't know anyone. It's been hard, but eye opening about the kind of person I am. I have become more independent, but also realized what it is I am looking for in a partner. I want someone who isn't exactly like me. I think differences make for an interesting relationship and keep the passion alive. I think challenging each other is important and doesn't allow people to become complacent with their relationship. Of course, I also want to find someone who enjoys doing the same things, i.e. traveling, skiing, etc. No requirement to enjoy baking, as long as you like eating! More importantly, I am looking for someone who will also be my best friend...

I LOVE ice cream and will travel pretty far to get a good cup of Coffee Heath Bar Crunch. I have been a Dave Matthews fan since middle school, and while that may be a turn off to some, its great music and has been for 20 years.
I am a bit of a food snob and love taking road trips to find the best ice cream, sandwiches, local specialties, etc. I also love cooking and baking.

Bryant eclipses 30,000, Lakers beat Hornets 103-87
Thursday - 12/6/2012, 4:37am EST
By BRETT MARTEL
AP Sports Writer
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Kobe Bryant grinned and uttered the word "irony" as he considered the fact that the team that drafted him nearly 17 years ago was his opponent on the night he eclipsed a scoring milestone to join an exclusive club of NBA greats.
It's easy to forget that it was the Hornets who drafted and then traded Bryant away back in 1996.
In the years since, the Hornets have changed cities, from Charlotte to New Orleans, and Bryant has become one of five players in NBA history to score 30,000 points, surpassing the mark with a 29-point performance that helped the Lakers to a 103-87 triumph Wednesday night.
"It's funny how sports always seems to kind of have that connectivity, in some shape, form or fashion," Bryant said. "It just always seems to come full circle."
Bryant entered the game needing 13 points to make history and no one doubted he would get it. NBA Commissioner David Stern, who happened to be making a scheduled visit with new Hornets owner Tom Benson, offered Bryant a congratulatory hand shake before tip-off.
Bryant had 17 points by halftime, eclipsing the 30,000-mark with a short jumper in the paint over Robin Lopez late in the first half. That might have been the least spectacular of his baskets, which included the usual array of soaring dunks, demoralizing transition 3-pointers and twisting, off-balance jumpers.
The only other players to score more than 30,000 are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain.
"It's pretty awesome," Bryant said. "These are players I respect tremendously and obviously grew up idolizing and watching and learned a great deal from."
When Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni was asked before tipoff about Bryant's impending milestone, the coach joked, "That just means he is old."
In fact, at 34, Bryant is younger than the other four were when they hit the mark, but Bryant also turned pro at 18, and is in his 17th season.
"Honestly, I don't know why I'm still working as hard as I am after 17 years," Bryant said. "That's the thing that I'm most proud of _ every year, every day working hard at it. It's a lot of years, a lot of work."
Dwight Howard added 18 points and five blocked shots for the Lakers, who trailed 48-47 at halftime, but seized control with a 13-0 run to open the third quarter, and the lead grew as large as 20 in the fourth.
Ryan Anderson scored 31 points, hitting 5 of 8 3-pointers for the Hornets, who were playing their ninth straight game without top overall draft choice Anthony Davis. Greivis Vasquez added 16 points, while Lopez scored 15 points and blocked five shots.
Antawn Jamison scored 15 and Metta World Peace 11, and Chris Duhon had 10 assists for Los Angeles, which is playing without Steve Nash and Pau Gasol and won for only the second time on the road this season. The Hornets fell to 3-7 at home and lost for the 10th time in 12 games overall.
The Hornets led from early in the first quarter until halftime, going up by as many as eight points when Al-Farouq Aminu slammed down an alley-oop lob from Vasquez, energizing the largest crowd of the season at the New Orleans Arena.
Bryant helped the Lakers trim their deficit after that, hitting five free throws and his milestone on 3-foot jumper in the last 2:15 of the second quarter.
Jamison opened the third-quarter onslaught with 3, Howard followed with a fast-break layup and Bryant had two straight fast-break dunks, one of which he created with a steal. Howard finished the surge with a layup.
"I just didn't think our defense was there, especially that first five or six minutes of the third quarter," Hornets coach Monty Williams said. "Our defense was really poor, and we can't afford those lapses."
After the game, Bryant sat in his locker, reflecting on the elite company he now keeps in NBA history, and the things he sees in younger, prolific scoring stars like Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant, whom the Lakers will face on Friday night, and who could very well join the 30,000-point club at the rate he's going.
One common characteristic, Bryant said, is an apparent immunity to both pressure and criticism.
"Scorers kind of have a fighter-pilot mentality. We're a different breed," he said. "But there are different positions. We scored in a myriad of ways. We all went about it differently in different situations. It's fun to see."

LO getting older bf positions
I could not have asked for anything more, truly blessed!
Comments (1)
The same positions work for me. I am petite as well - 5'1" 100 lbs. I use the cradle hold/lap. I use this when they're newborns. I've used it for an almost 5 year old nursling. The difference is that I don't have to support the head after a bit and the legs hang off of me. I also nurse in bed lying down but that position doesn't really matter the side since they're not on me. My second child had a terrible distraction phase from 4-12 months. As a result, she would only nurse lying down. She didn't wean until almost 6 years old and that position continued to work well! I did try to nurse her using other positions when my youngest was born since I had a c-section with complications and couldn't lie down to nurse her. She was almost 3 years old. She tried, but she couldn't get a proper latch in other positions.

Stauffer improving with age, experience
Follow the Padres on Facebook

MINNEAPOLIS Something has gotten into Tim Stauffer.
He's no longer the tentative — and ailing — young prospect who struggled in three early cameos with the Padres.
He's 29 now and mature. And the right-hander has morphed into a quality major league starter only a year after rebuilding his career while throwing long relief in the Padres bullpen.
"I've grown in the last year," Stauffer said Saturday night after coming out on the short end of a 1-0 pitching duel against the Twins' Scott Baker.
"Mentally, I'm more fine-tuned. I know I have the stuff to do it. I'm more aggressive when I'm pitching now.
"I don't have to be so fine. In some of my past starts, I was trying to be too fine with my pitches. Now I just want to throw strikes and let my stuff work for me."
For any other team, Stauffer would have been unbeatable in his past three starts — a span during which he allowed one run on 15 hits in 22 innings. In 10 of his 15 starts this season, Stauffer has allowed two or fewer runs. Since he moved into the rotation last September, opposing hitters have only a .247 average against him.
And he's getting stronger.
Pitching coach Darren Balsley thought Stauffer took another step Saturday night at Target Field.
"He was really tough out there tonight," Balsley said. "Mentally solid. I'm more impressed by his poise today. Tim knows. He's been through a lot. He's endured and improved. He can execute and he knows it."
After missing all of 2008 following shoulder surgery that threatened his career and dropped him from the Padres' radar, Stauffer has steadily rewritten his story.
"Tim throws every pitch with a purpose, to get people out," said Padres manager Bud Black. "His stuff is good enough to get people out.
"But he's turned the corner in the aggressive factor. With Tim, it's started with the confidence in his fastball. He's in a good frame of mind."
Black believes the turn-around began last year when Stauffer was working in the Padres bullpen.
"It was a good thing for him. He was throwing the ball extremely well."
"He's got such quality stuff," Padres catcher Nick Hundley said of Stauffer. "He's learned if he gets early outs, he goes deeper into games."
Padres notes
It doesn't get easier for the Padres, who have lost four straight and seven of their last eight. Today's starter for the Twins, Francisco Liriano, has one no-hitter this season and came close to a second in his last outing. Then it is onto Fenway Park for three against the Red Sox.
•Catcher Nick Hundley tied a dubious franchise record Saturday night when he struck out in an eighth straight at-bat. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the only other nonpitchers who have struck out eight straight times as a Padre were Andujar Cedeno (1995), Jack Clark (1989) and Ruppert Jones (1982). Hundley broke the string with a groundout to first. Hundley had also struck out 10 times in 11 at-bats and has struck out at least once in 10 straight games.

I will long count my visit to Torekov as one of the nicest days in my life. Sure, I had good company (the family) and gorgeous weather, but I must still put a lot of it down to the cosiness of this very special village. A former fishing village, it has grown since it is now a very popular summer destination for Stockholmers. This means house prices are high and I had expected the local summer guests to be somewhat snobby but the atmosphere was great! On top of that, wealthy Stockholmers means good restaurants for such a small place. There are also beaches around the village (if you don't fancy the famous jetty that is) and the boat to Hallands Väderö. I really hope to return to tell you more but for now, you have to look at my Torekov page to read more.

If you have at least half a day to spare and want an unusual nature experience, head for this island. The boats take you to a part of the island where you can have a look at the peculiar swamp forest and where there is a beach to swim at and a cafe summertime. The island is just as famous for the trips when the boats don't stop but go on safari around the island to see its seal colony on other parts of it. For safari trips, you've got to book in advance.

Part III of my treatise on "The Real Housewives of Orange County."
You used to see a lot of cars in south county with these license-plate frames that said, "Coto ... Life Never Looked So Good."
To me, still living in Rancho, the real message I thought these people were trying to send was, "Coto ... Everywhere Else Sucks."
If you actually made such a frame, you'd sell scores to the types of nouveau riche Coto creatures who have now come into your living room via "The Real Housewives of Orange County."
The truth is, these types are a Coto minority, but an obnoxious, highly visible minority they are - the parents of the Junior Golf Cart Gestapo, the Paintball Panzers and other factions of the local Hitler Youth. The types responsible for the attitude of a restaurant owner in Rancho who famously refused to seat a group of mannerly folks for no other reason than they were from Coto.
Perhaps the most visible and annually dependable example of their ilk's hedonism (pre "Housewives," anyway) is the summer "concert" series at Coto's Golf & Racquet Club. Attendees ritually get soused at a moveable feast of preconcert parties and arrive at the club via limo already half in the bag.
A decent but has-been group like, say, REO Speedwagon is the supposed draw, but it might as well be a $200-a-night Holiday Inn trio because it is about as central to the event as the band at a San Diego State frat party.
I say this with credible specificity because one of my neighbors who, like me, was at State in the late '70s points out the concerts are just like frat mixers on "Party" Hardy Avenue: The band is off to the side playing to itself while the drunks are hitting on each other, puking in the bushes and doing face dives into the asphalt.
These "concerts" are documented in the Coto de Caza News, which runs photo after photo of bleary-eyed middle-agers smiling into the camera, the women's hidden hands clutching, I imagine, a highball glass, the men's hands clutching their neighbor's wife's buns.
Now you know why a good many of us say we're from Trabuco Canyon - to avoid having to apologize for these people, or worse, being confused with them.
The ilk here who fancy themselves as part of some kind of Newport East?
As an urbane fellow I regularly see at a certain Newport watering hole remarked Friday afternoon, Newport is laughing atyour overmortgaged asses, not withthem.
Decent people in Coto are laughing at you, too. My wife and I had four Coto housewives (a group I know well and consider "The Real GoodHousewives of Coto") over to our house to watch the show.
While their husbands baby-sat their kids, we ordered Domino's and opened a couple of bottles of wine.
Emotions ranged from flat-out hilarity (like when I'd freeze-frame on the creepy moves of the short, thirtysomething foreign guy who was dancing at a club with one of the fortysomething "Housewives," clearly drooling because he'd scored himself a real hoochie mama), to flat-out repulsion (like when Jeana's teenage son picked off rabbits with his pellet gun with a carelessness that would make any real hunter puke).

Deposits or redeposits are they for me?
Monday - 5/20/2013, 7:07pm EDT
May 20, 2013 -- This week on For Your Benefit, federal benefits specialist James Marshall joins host Bob Leins to discuss the various types of federal service that may be creditable for retirement under CSRS and FERS — for both eligibility and computation purposes.
After explaining what deposits and redeposits are, Marshall discusses examples of both so that you may understand the advantages of using this service on your future retirement benefits.
Among the questions Marshall answers are these:
- What is Deposit and Redeposit Sevice? Why do some people call this a "buyback?"
- How do people find out if they have unpaid Deposit or Redeposit Service?
- How much does a person owe for unpaid deposit/redeposit service? How is interest on the unpaid amount computed?
- Why would I want to make this payment? How does it affect my retirement planning? How does it affect my retirement benefits?
- Are there scenarios where it's more favorable for some people to make these payments versus others? Is there a "rule of thumb" that someone might go by?
- Is there anything that a federal employee who is retired from the military should be aware of in regards to this topic?

Memorial Sloan Kettering researchers have used genetically modified immune cells to eradicate cancer in five patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Doctors have traditionally had limited treatment options to offer adults with B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), a rapidly progressing form of blood cancer. The disease often returns, or relapses, after initial treatment with chemotherapy. At that point, patients are often resistant to additional chemotherapy and poor candidates for stem cell transplantation, which is usually effective only if the disease is in complete remission.
Now Memorial Sloan Kettering investigators report that genetically modified immune cells have shown great promise in killing the cancer cells of patients with relapsed B cell ALL. In fact, all five of the patients who have received the new therapy – known as targeted immunotherapy – have gone into complete remission, with no detectable cancer cells. The results of this ongoing clinical trial are reported online on March 20 in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
"This is a very exciting finding for patients with B cell ALL and a major achievement in the field of targeted immunotherapy," says Michel Sadelain, Director of Memorial Sloan Kettering's Center for Cell Engineering, who led the study along with medical oncologist Renier J. Brentjens.
Engineering Precise Weapons
Targeted immunotherapy is aimed at instructing the immune system to recognize and attack tumor cells. Over the past decade, Drs. Sadelain and Brentjens, and other Memorial Sloan Kettering researchers – including Isabelle Rivière, Director of Memorial Sloan Kettering's Cell Therapy and Cell Engineering Facility, and physician-scientist Marco L. Davila – have investigated an approach that involves removing white blood cells called T cells from patients and introducing a new gene into the cells using an engineered viral vector. Viral vectors are viruses that have been disabled so they cannot replicate and that efficiently shuttle their genetic cargo into a host cell.
After the gene is transferred and expressed, the T cells are infused back into the patient, where they multiply and cause a variety of different immune responses aimed at attacking the cancer cells. The gene used in the targeted immunotherapy for ALL codes for the creation of a receptor on T cells that enables them to recognize the CD19 protein, which is present in B cell ALL tumor cells.
Much of the early research into this approach was supported by Memorial Sloan Kettering's Experimental Therapeutics Center and benefactors of the Center for Cell Engineering.Back to top
A Bridge to Stem Cell Transplantation
"We have been a leading center in developing this technology in the laboratory, and we were the first center to bring this CD19-targeted approach using viral vectors to the clinic," Dr. Brentjens explains.
In the phase I clinical trial, five patients with relapsed B cell ALL had cancer that was detectable at varying levels in the blood. After receiving the genetically modified T cells, all five patients achieved complete remission, and even highly sensitive molecular analyses found no cancer cells remaining.
"Patients with relapsed B cell ALL resistant to chemotherapy have a particularly poor prognosis," says Dr. Brentjens. "The ability of our approach to achieve complete remissions in all of these very sick patients is what makes these findings so remarkable and this novel therapy so promising."
Four of the five patients subsequently received additional therapy in the form of a bone marrow transplant, the standard of care for those patients who successfully achieve complete cancer remissions after treatment for relapsed disease. To date, three of the four patients have remained in remission for between five and 24 months. One patient died from complications unrelated to the cancer therapy while in remission.
"By serving as a bridge to a stem cell transplant, this therapy could potentially help cure adult patients with B cell ALL that has relapsed and who are chemotherapy resistant. Otherwise, these patients have a virtually incurable disease," Dr. Brentjens says. "We need to examine the effectiveness of this targeted immunotherapy in additional patients before it could potentially become a standard treatment for patients with relapsed B cell ALL."
Further clinical trials, including a phase II study, have already been planned to test whether B cell ALL patients would benefit from receiving this targeted immunotherapy along with chemotherapy earlier in the disease stage, either as part of the initial frontline treatment or after remission has been achieved to help prevent relapse.
Read a New York Times story about this new therapy and the experience of a Memorial Sloan Kettering patient.Back to top
We spoke with Drs. Sadelain and Brentjens who said: "Our results to date are better in ALL compared with CLL. We attribute this to the fact that the patient T cells we engineer are remarkably effective against leukemia in the bone marrow, but less so in the lymph nodes. We are preparing a clinical study to evaluate T cells that we believe will be more effective against disease in the lymph nodes. We are seeking funding to initiate this study in CLL. We continue to enroll patients on two other CLL clinical trials, which have resulted in some promising but far less dramatic clinical outcomes."
Thanks for your comment. Dr. Brentjens says: "The current clinical trials will likely take another two to three years, and hopefully thereafter we'll be able to provide this therapy outside of a clinical trial. So hopefully yes, if God forbid your disease relapses, this therapy should still be available."
I have lung and bone cancer and received chemotherapy.The treatment is not helping,but it is making me very weak and I lost a lot of weight.Would the Cell Based Immune Therapy be available for my kind of cancer?Is there a hospital closer to Florida where I live,that has the same treatment available.Looking foward to get your professional answer.Thank you!
Catherine Hepprich
I am fighting Multiple Myeloma cancer. I have had two autologous stem cell transplants and I am currently doing well. I am very interested in any trials involving the use of immunotherapy. I understand a lot is being focussed upon leukaemia and the protein that is out of balance. But I haven`t heard of any pursuits toward mm in this area. Are such trials taking place? And if so, what is the criteria for inclusion to these trials?
Thank you for your comment. You can find a list of our current clinical trials and eligibility criteria for multiple myeloma here: http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/clinical-trials/clinical-trial?keys=&f…Hematology%3A+Multiple+Myeloma.
My late husband and my 2 children, one whose life was lost to cancer at age 18 in 2007, all have battled Li-Fraumeni Syndrome. Our daughter is an Pre-B Cell ALL survivor of 13 years. I can not even begin to thank you and all scientists working around the globe on the cancer treatments and cures, such as this one, that are being discovered.
You bring hope to millions who are frightened, lighten the burden of those grief loss and keep the spirits of those who lost their battles alive because you live the quote "What we do in life echoes in eternity".
Thank you!

You guys have done something GREAT. This is a huge scientific breakthrough and a miracle for people with Lukemia. My aunt: Gina Giallombardo, died of Rhabdomyosarcoma in 2011 and was treated at MSK and she almost won her battle because of the great nurses and staff and just everyone there. Unfortunately, her horrible cancer relapsed and she died May 12, 2011. But thx to you guys, he had a good time being treated there. PLEASE keep up this good work with the immunotherapy. And although I'm not a scientist or anything (I'm an 11 year boy), but as a suggestion, has anyone ever thought of gene therapy to the immune system cells.Because their genetic material could be injected immune cells can destroy cancer cells only. Thank You. :)
Brandon Davidson
We are at the beginning of a new era in immunotherapy. Please support the clinical trials and research. Our scientists do know how to make cancer a lessor killer but they need our support. Look up cancer vaccines in google and follow the progress. In 5-10 yrs chemo will be obsolete. I got a cancer vaccine 4 yrs ago and no one in my trial has had it return.
Thanks for your comment. You can find our information for international patients here: http://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/international-patients.

The terrible failure of Europe's left
by Staff blogger Published
So much for the Third Way. This supposedly forward-looking political philosophy - with its long, abstract nouns, its obeisances to the free market, its technocratic arrogance, its contempt for old social democratic values and policies - has been found out. Just five years ago, the left carried all before it, holding power in 13 out of 15 EU countries. But there was no alternative, we were assured, to a rebranded social democracy; trade unions, public ownership, the whole edifice of collectivism were finished. Now, from Cannes to Copenhagen, from Strasbourg to Saxony, the left beats a humiliating retreat. In France, the Socialist candidate cannot make the final round of the presidential election. In Germany, Gerhard Schroder slides down the opinion polls. The left is nowhere in Spain. In Italy, Denmark, Holland and France, the far right has become a significant political force for the first time in more than half a century. The new social democrats have deliberately travelled light, divesting themselves of ideological baggage. They have cleared the stage for the far right, which holds on to its baggage and offers a sense of conviction, a perverted form of social solidarity and a language that people can understand.
Britain's new Labour leaders may smugly assume that the problem is confined to wayward Continentals, that if only the French or Italian lefts had gone further down the Third Way, or if Lionel Jospin had taken the advice proffered by Tony Blair's polling guru, Philip Gould, none of this would have happened. They are wrong. M Jospin was at least smart enough to spot that the Third Way was pretty thin as a philosophy (the French have higher standards than the British in these things), and so distanced himself from it. But he has privatised as assiduously as anybody in Europe and cut income tax for the rich. Mr Blair, meantime, has been protected by our electoral system and the weakness of the Tories. Where an opportunity to upset new Labour has emerged - in the London mayoral elections, for example - the voters have seized it. Otherwise, they stay at home, as they seem likely to do so in record numbers in local elections next Thursday.
Nevertheless, new Labour can easily avert the disaster that threatens its Continental counterparts. After the most social democratic Budget for a generation, bitterly reviled by the right-wing press, Labour's poll ratings have risen, while Gordon Brown has become the most popular Chancellor in decades. Both Mr Brown and Mr Blair have at last treated the voters as adults: if you want a decent health service, they have said, give us the money and judge us on the outcome. Can they treat voters with as much respect on, say, crime or immigration, the issues which M Le Pen most effectively exploited? Why not try telling the truth and wrapping it in social democratic values? Crime is falling, not rising. The best way of reducing it is to reduce poverty and inequality. Immigration ultimately enriches a society, both culturally and materially. (For what happens when immigration is near zero, look at Japan's plight.) In any case, migration is pretty much inescapable in a globalised economy; if you want kumquat in Tesco and holidays in Thailand, expect brown people down the road. The left should be able to say these things and mean them; it should stop accepting the right's agenda (the streets are not safe to walk, etc) because, on such subjects, the right will always speak with more conviction.
But it is not only new Labour that needs to learn lessons from France. George Bush is US president largely because so many on the American left, wishing to record their principled disgust with the Clinton-Gore regime, supported Ralph Nader in the 2000 election. Margaret Thatcher dominated British politics for so long because Roy Jenkins and others abandoned Labour for the SDP. M Le Pen owes his triumph to the assorted revolutionaries and ecologists who drained away M Jospin's vote. Such divisions, and such electoral frivolity, are historic weaknesses of the left, alongside a juvenile tendency, when things are going badly, to take to the streets. Contrast the British Conservative Party, which mostly still hangs together through the most profound disagreements. Social democratic governments nearly always frustrate their supporters, and that is particularly true of the present crop in Europe. But the left should have learnt its lesson: it can only prosper through democratic politics within mainstream parties. If you are afraid of M Le Pen or of our own BNP, don't sit at home, don't flirt with the Socialist Alliance, don't smash up McDonald's. Join the Labour Party, attend its meetings and persuade it to pursue true left-wing values.
The new look
You will see that we have had the decorators in. And you will know what it's like. Should we have had the other wallpaper? Is that quite the right shade of paint? Is that shelf entirely straight? But after months of agonising, and quarrelling with builders, we think the New Statesman looks better this way: brighter, cleaner, clearer and, dare we say it, younger. We hope in particular that improved labelling and positioning of articles makes it easier for readers to find their way around. What has not changed is the New Statesman's editorial policy: to publish the best-written and most thoughtful pieces on contemporary culture, society and politics; to entertain and amuse; sometimes to infuriate and provoke; and broadly to support what used to be called "progressive values" (as opposed to any particular political programme). We hope you like the new design as much as we do. If not, you will no doubt let us know.

Well before winter break started this year, the students who I met in August — most of them easily able to sit at their desks and listen or work quietly for long stretches of time — turned into antsy teenagers, some of whom make a habit of getting up to walk slowly to the trash can in the middle of a lecture or who make excuses to get passes to the bathroom during group work.
Many of my coworkers attribute this to the students simply being bored of school and ready for a break, but I have always thought that, once the cool, fall air turns to cold, dark winter, students' energy levels in the classroom skyrocket due to the lack of time they are able to spend outside, playing basketball or walking around the block with their friends. The time they spent outside during the nice weather allowed them to burn off some pent up energy, as well as take a much-needed mental break from the rigors of school and homework. When winter hits, though, my students often don't get their change of scenery and can't spend as much time outside, making them balls of energy in my classroom.
My teaching definitely changes in the winter months to incorporate more hands-on and out-of-your-seat learning activities, but there is only so much I can do within the confines of my classroom. Students need unstructured, outdoor time not only to burn off energy, but also to just take a break between high-stress, mental tasks. During the winter, especially in high school where the only physical activity students get during the school day is a highly structured physical education class, these breaks are few and far between, and it shows in their performance in the classroom.
It's no surprise, then, that the American Academy of Pediatrics has just released a study saying that recess — unstructured, outdoor play during the school day — is just as important to student achievement as reading or math class. According to an interview in TIME Magazine, Dr. Robert Murray, a pediatrician and professor of human nutrition at the Ohio State University, says, "Children need to have downtime between complex cognitive challenges… They tend to be less able to process information the longer they are held to a task. It's not enough to just switch from math to English. You actually have to take a break." This is important for younger students, but becomes increasingly apparent at the high school level where students' only breaks come in the form of five-minute passing periods between classes and a break for lunch.
Unfortunately, only six states — Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Mississippi, and North Carolina — give children 150 minutes of recess a week, a guideline set by the National Association for Sports and Physical Education. Furthermore, only three additional states — Delaware, Nebraska, and Virginia — give students 20 minutes of recess a day. We have long understood that recess is vital in combatting childhood obesity, but now we are finding that recess can help increase student performance in the classroom, as well.
With the benefits of recess being so high, why are schools taking it away? It seems it is not as simple as a cost-benefit scenario. With fewer resources being allocated to schools and higher pressure for success on standardized tests, recess seems to be the most natural cut to make. Often, schools cannot afford to staff the necessary supervisors, and some schools are even facing such extreme cuts that their school days have to be shortened, making it necessary to cut out a portion of the day. When faced with cutting a class or unstructured play time, the play time usually is the first to go. Furthermore, with such pressure on schools to improve on test scores, it would seem logical to dedicate more time to classroom activities such as reading and math.
While the best case scenario would be for a school to offer recess, if that is not an option, parents can help at home by allowing their children unstructured time before starting to work on homework and allowing for breaks between long studying sessions. This can help students retain information better than immediately sitting at the table to work on homework as soon as they walk in the door from school. Parents can also petition their local school districts to add recess back into the curriculum, and now they have the research to back them up.

we all know recess is important. Obesity is on the rise, recess can help!
i think the school day should be shorter and must definitely include recess
Everyone needs a break, especially young people.
Of course recess is important.
children should be aloud recess , it helps to de stress them before the next round of lessons start , its not like they spend more time having recess than lessons
Schools should not cut recess out of the daily school program. Even on winter or rainy days, let the kids loose in the gym or any other suitable area. All school and no play is not a good idea. Time out from class each day should be mandated throughout the United States.
I agree completely! Recess is very important to get rid of energy and just to take a break. Workers get a 15 min. break why not school kids?
This all makes a lot of sense. Children need a break from studies just as adults need a break during work. Both groups would be more productive.
Christopher M because recess is not a structured subject.
What is common sense to most of us is out side the pale for some. An important point to remember is that conservatives and their rich backers don't want real education for our children. They much prefer an ignorant population, compliant to their orders.

Semi-terminal continua in Kelley spaces
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: A continuum in a space is said to be semi-terminal if at least one out of every two disjoint continua in intersecting is contained in . Based on this concept, new structural results on Kelley continua are obtained. In particular, two decomposition theorems for Kelley continua are presented. One of these theorems is an improved version of the aposyndetic decomposition theorem for Kelley continua.

Cabin design is an eye-catcher
Architect Fay Jones' 1965 Stoneflower still hailed for its brilliant, organic features
He notes that cabins speak of modestly shared spaces for the camaraderie of family and friends, and an open, relaxed atmosphere. Basic principals that make vacation homes work can also be applied to any smaller home, as well as the retirement model of trading one large, family home for two smaller homes.
More San Diego baby boomers, faced with the reality that grown children live out of state, are creating a new lifestyle that includes a part-time residence near grandchildren. As one's family changes shape, so do spatial needs.
The owner of two smallish homes needs to design with different criteria in mind. For example, consider entering a second home via a mudroom that replaces a more formal foyer. Often, grand entrances are wasted space. A sleeping loft may offer more of a college dormitory feel than a private bed-and-breakfast guest room, but it may function the best as accommodations for a collection of relatives.
The need for a separate family room and formal living room may be replaced by one room featuring a wall-mounted smart TV visible at all times. Gone are the hulking TV armoires of the 1980s that gobbled space. A proper dining room is frequently passed over for a more comfortable family dining arrangement that offers seating for large groups or for an intimate foursome, perhaps in front of the television. Flexibility and function rule the day.
Perhaps the art of living comfortably in a smaller house is based on a careful scrutiny of the most efficient uses of each room. Success is dependent upon finding the best pieces for each purpose.
I constantly advise investing in the perfect sizes and quality for the smaller home. If you have few bedrooms, then why not treat yourself to the best mattress and bedding that you can afford? Trade size for quality. Replace duplication with superior products.
A simple home puts things right out into the open and exposes each function for all to see. That is not necessarily a negative thing; rather, it challenges one to think more about what is safe and interesting to reveal.

The train of events that follow after a pipe bursts…
'I'm going to have a birdbath,' my husband announced the other day. Brilliant, I responded in approval, taking his words literally to mean he was planning a bath using very little water. Great civic sense, to economise on the water since there had been a pipe burst just outside our house that had put our unpretentious road on all the newspapers.
The pipe burst was discovered early by my husband; er... not too early, about 7 in the morning; but then we aren't early birds and worms roam freely in our garden. He noticed a growing pool of water in the middle of the road and smartly deduced the cause. 'Eureka!' the shout sent us scampering for all the available buckets to place under various taps that had already begun the all too familiar gargle, cough and splutter routine which was the prelude to running dry.
Yes, we still do not have an overhead tank, tempting fate and confident in the 'lowlyingness' of the area to provide us with at least a trickle in one of the taps. In case you think it is very unfair we should have such a tap when the rest of the city has no water, let me reassure you that during floods, our area has 'welcome' written all over it and is one of the first to invite the dirty flood waters in. What you win on the roundabouts you lose on the swings....Sigh!
This pipe burst was special for us, since it happened practically at our doorstep. Paradoxically, along with the 'oh, no, not another!' feeling of consternation was one of joy for the locality.
The geographical closeness made us feel proud and possessive about it– 'our very own pipe burst.' Similar incidents had so far occurred only in other parts of the city. Such news travels faster than gossip about an elopement or a second marriage. The moment we heard, we would pump the source of the news to find out selfishly if our area would be affected and respond accordingly.
I remember the novelty of the first pipe burst. It was years ago and nobody believed it. A water pipe cracking in God's own city with its tasty and perennial water supply? Nonsense! But the taps spewed air and the dismayed city was caught napping. Not too many houses had overhead tanks in those days and when the houses in higher areas lost water supply, people turned for help to houses in the low lying localities. Snobbery was forgotten as necessity built up camaraderie and water sharing began in earnest.
We have a well, so when water supply stopped completely, people from the neighbourhood began to arrive with buckets, pots and gossip. The old village well scenes got re-created as people gathered around, patiently waiting their turn to draw water as they shared news and views. The welcome sight of the tanker lorry bringing drinking water would bring an expectant glow to their faces.
Executing 50 metre dashes that would have put our sprinters to shame, everyone would leap out, shabby home attire, buckets and all, to form queues that, though not as disciplined as the ones outside liquor shops, were orderly all the same. Oh yes, it was enjoyable. But that pipe burst set the trend for a depressingly regular phenomenon. Uninterrupted water supply has now become a pipe dream.
'A birdbath on the terrace,' he continued. I was shocked. Why such exhibitionism? I was about to ask when I realised he meant an actual birdbath – for birds. Birds need water too, and well water would do, he hastily added when I protested we didn't have enough drinking water for ourselves. It was World Sparrow Day and this was his gift to the birds.
A makeshift terracotta pan filled with water was set up on an upturned pot. Just wait, he said, all the birds of the neighbourhood will be here.
True enough, we soon heard the sloshing sound of water being noisily splashed around. Sparrows! Delighted, we went up on tip toe to sneak a peek at the darlings. An unnatural, bloodcurdling cry followed by the sound of something heavy crashing down startled us into bounding to the terrace.
We were in time to see a huge crow squawking away to safety with an angry cat springing in hot pursuit and on the floor the birdbath rested on its watery grave in three irregular pieces. At that moment the taps began to whistle and wheeze the arrival of water.

A piece on Walerian Borowczyk's "The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Miss Osbourne"
"Chicken With Plums" is a grand, romantic life story about love, loss, regret and the sadness that can be evoked by a violin — not only through music, but through the instrument itself. It is all melancholy and loss, and delightfully comedic, with enough but not too much magic realism. The story as it stands could be the scenario for an opera.
The film begins in Tehran in 1958, when the shah ruled a secular Iran not yet stilted by Islamic fundamentalism. Little is made of politics in the film, and still less of religion; it is all told through the soulful eyes of a master violinist named Nasser Ali, played by the familiar French actor Mathieu Amalric; as you may recall, they were expressive enough to carry his whole performance in "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly." Freely moving between past and present, the film paints his middle-class Persian family as he develops into a mediocre violinist, meets and loses the great love of his life, and transforms his pain into greatness.
"Chicken With Plums" was shot on soundstages in Berlin, creating an intimate Tehran that is sometimes enhanced by animation and by several clouds of smoke, one that a savant tells Nasser Ali contains the soul of his mother (Isabella Rossellini). The extraordinary cast also includes Maria de Medeiros as Faringuisse, the wife his family made him marry; Golshifteh Farahani as Irane, the clockmaker's daughter who is the love of his life; Edouard Baer as Azrael, the Angel of Death who is the narrator, and Chiara Mastroianni as Lili, Nasser Ali's daughter as an adult.
An unashamedly romantic score by Olivier Bernet deepens the film's emotions, as Nasser Ali briefly feels the ecstasy of love and then descends into a lifelong depression that leads to him going to bed and deciding to die. We see some of the events that led him to this extreme, but the film has no bad people, except for Irane's father (Serge Avedikiane), who angrily denies the violinist the hand of his daughter. How could she reject him? How can she tell him, 20 years later, that she has no memory of him? A closing scene is hopelessly sad. Nasser Ali's wife also shares the blame for breaking the treasured violin her husband was given by his master (Didier Flamand). She begins as a screeching harridan and later reveals the touching depths of her own love, expressed when she prepares his favorite dish, chicken with plums, and brings it to him on his deathbed.
The co-directors and writers are Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud, whose film of her autobiographical graphic novel "Persepolis" was nominated for a 2008 Academy Award. Working here in live action with an adaptation of another of her graphic novels, they give themselves more stylistic freedom than even animation allows. One of the film's particular strengths is its portrait of an Iran that sheltered invaluable little shops and expressive old savants, and had not yet been dragged into the future — or the past, you decide.

Flora and Fauna
Feed Denver's purpose has always been to connect the community. Whether the nonprofit is teaching urban-farming techniques or tackling the social and economic issues around food production, the focus is on giving the growing power to the people. Tonight, Feed Denver teams up with the Megafauna retail space to bring its mission to colorful life with a poster show at Hinterland gallery.
"The poster show came about from the art community wanting to work with Feed Denver," says Megafauna owner John McCaskill. McCaskill's shop has developed an integral relationship with local artists -- Jack Shure, 2Kool's Bimmer Torres and the creators behind Like-Minded Productions, to name a few -- all of whom will present work for sale at tonight's gathering.
The show's purpose is twofold: While raising money for the nonprofit through the poster sales, the night also acts as an informational springboard for Feed Denver's big event, In-Power, coming up on March 24 through 31. In-Power is a week-long gardening symposium which will feature workshops and lectures by urban agriculture expert Will Allen and food justice advocate Gary Nabhan.
The poster show runs tonight from 7 to 10 p.m. at Hinterland, 3254 Walnut Street. For more information, visit www.feeddenver.com or call 303-513-7548.

Apple to Open New Wuxi, China Retail Store on August 2
Apple has announced on its official Chinese website that it will open its new retail store in Wuxi, China at Wuxi Hang Lung Plaza, which is about an hour's train ride from Shanghai, on Saturday, August 2 at 10 AM.
Photo of Wuxi, China retail store before opening.Last week, Apple announced that its new Chongqing store is set to open this Saturday, July 26. New Apple retail chief Angela Ahrendts plans to have a focus on furthering Apple's business in China, expecting to oversee the opening of 20 stores in the country through 2016.
The moves are a part of Apple's larger effort to grow its presence in China, as the company*started partnering with the country's biggest carrier China Mobile late last year and became China's fifth-largest smartphone vendor in Q4 2013. Apple is also working hard to attract Chinese app developers to iOS. Thanks Jacob!

A marvel of artistry, this rug uses an ancient form of weaving and the finest wool to create a sophisticated, sensible option for the modern home.
Launched in 1914 as an importer of antique Oriental rugs, Safavieh now also designs and manufactures its own floor coverings. But one thing has remained the same for four generations: The family behind Safavieh has continued to emphasize comfort, durability, craftsmanship, and sheer beauty, as this collection of traditional rugs makes abundantly clear.
