When people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, they may be shocked by the dismal odds of survival they read about in the news or on reputable cancer Web sites. But if they visit a support group, they may see a better outcome that might be waiting for them, says Nicole Goetz, MS, a nurse practitioner at Columbia University who often works with pancreatic cancer patients.
"In the support group, they can hear anecdotal evidence from other patients who say, 'I have been alive four and a half years,' or, 'I did get to the five-year point' — which is unusual, but I think it offers them a little hope to see there are real live patients out there who are living with, working with, and functioning with pancreatic cancer," Goetz says. While working on a doctorate in nursing practice, Goetz set up an online group for patients with the disease and learned more about what pancreatic support groups can offer.
Pancreatic Cancer Support Groups: What They Provide
Along with an emotional boost, pancreatic cancer support groups can offer help with:
- Dealing with the health care system. Goetz has seen people share advice on how to better deal with a difficult health care provider, for example. They also can give each other pointers on how to deal with problems that can arise with insurance companies.
- Coping with the disease. People who have had the disease longer may know more "tricks of the trade" for handling symptoms. "Someone said they liked to read during chemotherapy treatments, but they found it difficult to hold a book because they were limited in turning pages because of IVs," Goetz says. "Another group member said, 'Why not get a book on tape that you can put on your iPod?' "
Not everyone will have access to an in-person pancreatic cancer support group. Compared with other types of cancer, pancreatic cancer is relatively uncommon, and in smaller towns there may not be many other people who have the disease. In addition, the disease may prevent you from easily getting out and visiting with others in public.
An online cancer support group may be the best option for some people, according to Goetz.
"I think it's a very similar experience," she says. "They don't have to exert what little energy they have left over from treatment to actually go someplace. They can do it from the comfort of their own home, especially with the availability of wireless and laptops. From what I've seen, and what I think my research is going to show, I think it's just as effective."
In addition to logging on from your own home and finding a larger group of people who may have helpful advice, an online support group offers you more privacy. Revealing your personal thoughts and worries may be easier to do over the Internet, Goetz says.
If you have the option, she suggests that you look for cancer support groups that are moderated by a medical or mental health professional. The moderator helps guide the discussion and keep it on track.
Finding Support
To find a support group in your area, ask your doctor's office or hospital for suggestions. Good places to look online include the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research. These organizations offer information online, in-person, and over the phone.
Coping with pancreatic cancer is hard, but there are supportive people and groups that can assist you with both living with cancer and getting the most out of the health care system.

Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has directed the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) to process the planning permission applications of a batch of construction firms by accepting bank guarantee instead of insisting on security/caution deposits. Justice A. Kulasekaran passed the order on a writ petition filed by Prakash Challa of Srinivasa Shipping and Property Development Limited.
Counsel for CMDA Hasan Mohammed Jinnah was asked to process the application without insisting on security deposit from the petitioner. Special Government Pleader I. Paranthaman was directed to file a counter-affidavit on behalf of the Housing and Urban Development Department within two weeks.
The petitioner, assailing Rule 19(b)III-B of the Development Control Rules for Chennai Metropolitan Area and Rule 7 of the Rules for Information Technology Park, wanted them declared ultra vires the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act. He said they must be declared illegal.

While many Texomans are rejoicing for the rain, many farmers are considering their options after storms damaged or destroyed many crops.
Texoma's below freezing temps are not causing a huge concern for farmers.
The drought has made the farmer's saying "feast or famine" ring true and it looks like the famine could definitely continue this year too.
We're accustomed to having roller coaster temperatures in Texoma but the most recent bout of freezing temps have thrown farmers for a loop-- one they may not recover from.
With projections of above average temperatures and below average rainfall for the coming months growers are starting to get a little worried.

The Revolution has begun
Weld Revolution's unique patented design used in their new CAT (Centrifugal Arc Transfer) welding torches creates a superior welding experience through the use of a high speed rotating welding arc. This rotating welding arc process enables welders to weld all metals in any position. This can be achieved by using solid or metal-cored welding wires in a spray transfer. Out of position welding is made possible by the surface tension created by the high-speed rotation, resulting in a phenomenon that holds the puddle in the joint. The stirring action that is created by the rotating arc results in cleaner welds with enhanced properties. Narrow groove welding is made easy with this process and often requires no beveling (square cut edge prep). Weld Revolution's patented design creates a unique rotational movement that maximizes the effect of this process allowing for high versatility. This technology is delivered through our state of the art welding torches. Our open architecture torch design allows for maximum flexibility and control over needed arc performance, whether it's a narrow hard driving arc for root pass welding or a soft floating arc for cladding operations, we can deliver it.
High Speed Rotating Welding Arc Facts
The Rotating Arc Welding process was originally developed as a method to improve the cleanliness of the Gas Metal Arc Welding pool by mechanical rotation of the arc. Over time many other benefits have been realized and we've refined the process to maximize its efficiency and effectiveness.
Reduced Edge Prep Time
All Position Welding - No oscillation needed
All Alloy Filler Metals - Solid & Metal Cored Wires
Key Features & Benefits
Arc rotation
- Allows for spray like transfer welding in all positions
- Increases out of position welding deposition rates
- Distributes the arc-force evenly throughout the joint
- Evenly distributes heat input throughout the weld puddle
- Requires for little to no bevel
Stirs welding puddle
- Distributes the arc-force evenly throughout the joint
- Allows for welding of "sluggish" materials
- Balances solidification rates within the weld pool
- Stirring action helps to break up oxidation and contaminates resulting improved weld cleanliness
Out of position welding
- Produces good wetting action with smooth bead profiles
- Smooth stable rotating arc
- Results in smooth bead appearance
- Can be easily used in conjunction with more advanced methods of transfer such as spray- pulse

I have seen tomorrow a website which have one of my new graphicriver logos in the thumbnail image, but my logo is exclusive and it have never been sold.
This is my logo:
[link removed]
and this is the logo that is using this website:
[link removed]
How can I do? Thanks!
He also has an envato account: see here: [link removed]
Thanks you, I'm writing him a mail right now!
Never show a logo for sale in 2D flat view without an aggressive visual watermark
Maybe you should use Logo Mockup to prevent people from copy your design. :/
This has been resolved. The logo artist sent me a Cinema 4D spline with extrudes and said he got it from @BossTwinsMusic – and so I followed them on twitter, which in turn lead to me receiving an E-Mail from them.
That particular logo on his profile has ZERO purchases, meaning we, nor the "logo artist" had the rights to the logo. That pisses me off to no end and makes us look extremely bad.
Resolved, thanks you all for your comments.

Constitutional framework
The task of framing a constitution was entrusted in 1947 to a Constituent Assembly that was also to function as the interim legislature under the 1935 Government of India Act, which was to be the interim constitution. Pakistan's first constitution was enacted by the Constituent Assembly in 1956. It followed the form of the 1935 act, allowing the president far-reaching powers to suspend federal and provincial parliamentary government (emphasizing the viceregal tradition of British India). It also included a "parity formula," by which representation in the National Assembly for East and West Pakistan would be decided on a parity, rather than population, basis. (A major factor in the political crisis of 1970–71 was abandonment of the parity formula and adoption of representation by population, giving East Pakistan an absolute majority in the National Assembly.)
In 1958 the constitution was abrogated, and martial law was instituted. A new constitution, promulgated in 1962, provided for the election of the president and national and provincial assemblies by something similar to an electoral college, composed of members of local councils. Although a federal form of government was retained, the assemblies had little power, which was, in effect, centralized through the authority of governors acting under the president. In April 1973 Pakistan's third constitution (since the 1935 act) was adopted by the National Assembly; it was suspended in 1977. In March 1981 a Provisional Constitutional Order was promulgated, providing a framework for government under martial law. Four years later a process was initiated for reinstating the constitution of 1973. By October 1985 a newly elected National Assembly had amended the constitution, giving extraordinary powers to the president, including the authority to appoint any member of the National Assembly as prime minister.
With the end of military rule in 1988 and following elections to the National Assembly held in November of that year, the new president used those powers to appoint a prime minister to form a civilian government under the amended 1973 constitution. In 1997 the prime minister pushed through two significant changes to the constitution. The first revoked the president's power to remove a sitting government, and the second gave the premier authority to dismiss from parliament any member not voting along party lines—effectively eliminating the National Assembly's power to make a vote of no confidence. In 1999 a military government again came to power, and the constitution was suspended. The chief executive of that government initially ruled by decree and was made president in 2001. In 2002 the constitution was reinstated following a national referendum, though it included provisions (under the name Legal Framework order [LFO]) that restored presidential powers removed in 1997; most provisions of the LFO were formally incorporated into the constitution in 2003.
The amended constitution provides for a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government; both must be Muslims. According to the constitution, the president is elected for a term of five years by the National Assembly, the Senate, and the four provincial assemblies. The prime minister is elected by the National Assembly. The president acts on the advice of the prime minister. Universal adult suffrage is practiced.
The National Assembly has 342 members, each of whom serves a five-year term. Of these, 272 seats are filled by direct popular election; 262 are for Muslim candidates, and 10 are for non-Muslims. Of the remaining seats, 60 are reserved for women, who are chosen by the major parties; in 2008 the assembly elected its first female speaker. The Senate has 100 members, each serving a six-year term. A portion of the senators are chosen by the provincial assemblies; others are appointed. One-third of the senators relinquish their seats every two years.
Local government
Pakistan's four provinces are divided into divisions, districts, and subdistricts (tehsils, or tahsils). These units are run by a hierarchy of administrators, such as the divisional commissioner, the deputy commissioner at the district level, and the subdivisional magistrate, subdivisional officer, or tehsildar (tahsildar) at the tehsil level. The key level is that of the district, where the deputy commissioner, although in charge of all branches of government, shares power with the elected chairman of the district council. During the period of British rule, the deputy commissioner was both the symbol and embodiment of the central government in remote locations. Expected to serve the constituents in numerous ways, the officer's responsibilities ranged from that of magistrate dispensing justice to record keeper, as well as provider of advice and guidance in managing the socioeconomic condition. Those multiple roles have varied little since independence, but increasing emphasis has been placed on self-help programs for the rural populace.
In addition to the provinces, Pakistan has the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (seven agencies along the Afghan border, adjacent to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), which ostensibly are overseen by agents responsible to the federal government; the Islamabad Capital Territory; and a number of tribal areas that are administered by the provincial governments. The areas of Kashmir under Pakistani control are administered directly by the central government.

Jan 09, 2011 GMTI have written about my frustrations with service before, but I wanted to share three more items. For those of you who have not seen today's (January 9th, 2011) "Pearls Before Swine" comic strip, it mirrors some of my frustration with service groups. This was the first item I wanted to share. The second item was with my Internet service. For many years I had two different land-based telephone lines coming into my house. One of them was a "residential" account, and one of them was a "business" account. Having worked for the telephone company in my younger days, I even understood the rationale between having two different types of accounts, and charges, for...

Jan 04, 2011 GMTOver the New Year's weekend a news story started to unfold. It was about the Apple iPhone and how the standard clock application would not sound its alarm when set. The story became (said a radio announcer) the number two story of the day. All day long I heard about the iPhone's clock not working, and it was also reported that Apple was not going to fix it, since it was deemed as being a "temporary" problem and that things would be back to normal by January 4th "or so"....no one seemed to be sure why it occurred or exactly when things would go back to normal.Late on the evening of January 3rd I sent out a Tweet that said:> iPhone users: I know my Android phone will wake me.

Jan 01, 2011 GMTThe last day of the year is here. At an hour when a lot of people are out partying and "ringing in the New Year" I am sitting here with a glass of wine and taking a bit of quiet time to reflect on what happened last year and what might happen next year. If you are reading this hoping to learn something about FOSS or Free Software, and will be disappointed if you do not learn to grep or pipe from this blog entry, perhaps you should stop reading now. Some things are certain, the sages tell us, like death and taxes. Certainly there have been a lot of both this year, and there will be plenty of both next year. On the death scene, one of my former Boy Scout leaders died...
Dec 27, 2010 GMTI was at a Linux Meetup a couple of months ago and I ran into another former employee of Digital Equipment Corporation ("They are everywhere, everywhere!") named Larry Camilli. We started talking and somehow the conversation came around to a program called "AXE" (vaX Archictecture Exerciser). Larry looked at me with a strange look on his face and said "That was my program! That is what I did for Digital!" Larry went on to say that few people he met, even those who worked for Digital, knew about the AXE (or its equivalent for the MicroVAX, the "MAX") program. I replied that I worked in an operating system group, so we often delt with new CPUs, and we knew the *AXE...
Dec 23, 2010 GMTIt is late, very late, and you are still trying to decide on a gift for your [ mother | father | sister | brother | uncle | aunt | grand* | step* ] You would have had enough money for a gift, but you saw those really awesome headphones that you just had to buy, and now you are very low on money. And it is late....very late.... Why not give the gift that keeps on giving? The gift that most of these people will really appreciate, and that demonstrates the true meaning of the holiday season?

Dec 05, 2010 GMTEvery once in a while something happens that makes me fairly proud of what I do. Whatever I actually do I am often not quite sure at the time and usually find out about it much later. I am proud that a few words of mine helped to start an open source development center in Soweto, Africa (one year later I found out about this), and I am proud that a talk I gave in 1999 inspired Mark Spencer to make Asterisk a FOSS project (discovered this in 2001). I am proud that I helped get Linus an Alpha processor and encouraged him to make Linux a 64-bit operating system (three-year payback on this one), and I am proud of the many students and FOSS developers and advocates that I have...
Nov 30, 2010 GMTFor the past couple of years I have been orchestrating a contest at Campus Party events in Spain, Brazil and Colombia which challenges a participant to make a video using only free software. This means that the participants have to create the video, edit the video, make the credits and produce a CD using only free software tools, and the entire presentation has to be licensed under a Creative Commons license. The participants are given a list of possible software to use ahead of time, but they can use any software they want to use as long as it is either Free Software or Open Source. They do not know what the subject of the video will be until the first day of Campus Party,...

Saturday Morning Ride
Our fearless trail leader was Danny G., it seems he's the only one who knows the area very well.
Not too long after we left the camp, our first run is that big hill on the right and BullsEye is ready to take the hill climb.
Shitz, all the noobs at this point are spooked including me.
The first rider was Steve and he did it w/ ease on a 600R
Next was our trail leader on his CF450X, and ooooops
The unidentified ADV rider summoned Steve to move on, but meantime, StuCazzo and I hiked up, Stu to help and me to take a close up picture
The hike was so steep that Stu and I have to grab on to the chain link fence on the right to prevent from sliding down the hill.
The rider was hurt and could get back on his bike, shoulder badly bruised which no one knows until we went back to camp for lunch a couple of hours later.
With a little help, and a lot of huffing and puffing, the bike is upright again
After the big hill, we move on into tougher and scarier trails
Hmmm....I think they are talking of taking us noobs to some black diamond single track trails.
These 3 unsuspecting riders didn't know what's up ahead, including myself; sitting behind is notmybikemodelname and making sure they don't go anywhere
Even an intermediate rider StuCazzo soon will also be a victim
Billy and Taylor, they make good babysitters
The trailhead
We're all ADV riders, so we skipped all the easy trails
Danny G coming out of the trail
Followed by StuCazzo
The place was so big, and easy to get lost. Steve was searching all over the place and found us
We regrouped
StuCazzo and BullsEye
Enough chitchat, the ringleaders decided to move forward with the plan
Going along as planned
Sopascat so far so good
The trail ahead is so easy and the group chose to do the single track on the right
Few of the happy moments that morning
This what awaits us
and only about 36" wide of loose rocks and ruts. It's a goat trail without goats!
More, and this one is a few inches wider
I don't know what to say, but I felt my bike was shaking more than it should (the motor was'nt even on).
At this point, we're almost at 5500 ft, camp was at 3800 ft. The nice scenery could not distract the aprehension building up in me
Enough of picture taking bull shit, need to concentrate on my riding or instant death.
After the ride, lunch on a picnic table was the most welcome event that morning.
More pics tomorrow. Thanks for putting up with my amateur reporting.

Are EHRs a cyber crime magnet?
Friday - 11/11/2011, 10:19am EST
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), who is also a medical doctor, said electronic health records could be a powerful magnet for cyber criminals, NextGov reports.
Coburn said lawmakers should reconsider the EHR push. The federal government is spending billions of dollars to pay the medical industry to switch from paper records to electronic. However, her security haas also come under scrutiny.
Recently, courts in New York unsealed indictments charging 73 people with health care fraud. They used medical identity theft to help collect $163 million in false billings.

Arizona Cardinals
Updated Nov 21, 2012 - 8:39 am
Beanie Wells activated from IR/Designated to return
Arizona Cardinals running back Beanie Wells, who has been sidelined since suffering a turf toe injury in a Week 3 win over Philadelphia, was activated Wednesday from the injured reserve/designated to return list.
To make room for Wells on the roster, the Cardinals released linebacker Jamaal Westerman.
Wells had just 76 yards on 29 carries this season before suffering the injury.
The fourth-year pro returns to the field in time to face the St. Louis Rams, the same team he set the Cardinals' franchise single-game rushing record against last season. Wells had 228 yards on 27 carries in Arizona's 23-20 win at the Edward Jones Dome last November 27.

Climate change negotiations in Cancun, Mexico have concluded without the imposition of a proposed levy on the aviation industry, but with a greater recognition of ICAO's role in reducing carbon dioxide emissions from the sector.
In the run-up to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change's (UNFCCC) 16th conference of parties (COP16), which concluded late last week, there were expectations that a high-level advisory group on climate change financing would recommend an aviation tax to fund initiatives to help developing countries adapt to the effects of climate change.
The proposed target was to find a way of raising $100 billion a year by 2020, $3 billion of which would come from aviation through a tax or a global emissions trading scheme. However, while COP16 agreed to establish a Green Climate Fund, aviation was not specifically mentioned as a potential source of funds.
Further discussions on financing sources for this fund are expected to take place in 2011.
No reference to aviation was made in the final text presented at the conclusion of the Cancun talks, which the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG) says "means that the next round of discussions in Bonn will have to go back to the beginning and start all over again".
However, the recent ICAO global framework to reduce greenhouse gases from aviation was "well recognised" during the talks, and ICAO "is now firmly recognised as the forum within which aviation emissions should be addressed and managed", says ATAG.
"Given the slow pace of progress made in COP16 it is unfortunate that the very real work of reducing emissions is being overtaken by embroiled political process," says ATAG executive director Paul Steele.
"We, however, are confident in our industry's ability to meet the challenge we have set for ourselves and will continue to push forward to deliver our share of the effort."
The next round of UNFCCC conference of parties - COP17 - will take place in Durban, South Africa at the end of next year.

Chazy The Miner Institute will be opening its gates and displays May 10, as host of the second annual Strides For James fun runs.
Last year's event, held at Point Au Roche, attracted 250 runners and walkers, and gave the newly minted scholarship for an industrial/technological student at Clinton Community College a $5,000 shot in the arm.
James Wilson, of Chazy, was killed in a June, 2012 motorcycle accident. His family, along with his extended family at Jefford's Steel where he worked, decided thet they would keep his memory alive through the scholarship and community events.
"We all loved James, and he was someone who would just come in and brighten your day. We started a bunch of different fundraisers. I was kind of pestering everyone to have the 5k and 10k," said Noelle Eichenberger, of Jefford's Steel.
After last year's race and other fundraising, the endowment in James' name is now large enough to offer a scholarship for the first time. The recipient of the first scholarship will be announced at this year's run.
Along with the run and a host of raffles and assorted fundraising activities, Strides for James will include all the attractions that make the Miner Institute a draw by itself. Non-runners will have plenty to occupy themselves with during and after the races.
"The component is the race, but you have a lot of opportunities with what Miner's has to offer with the farming exhibits, excellent museum, etc.," said James' father Dean. "If you race or you just want to visit for that day, there'll be enough people here to take care of your cares and concerns. If you want to race, great, we'll be glad to have you. If you don't want to race, and you just want to visit and socialize and check out the exhibits, they'll be putting on equine exhibits.

Unclaimed and undelivered tax refunds – the IRS owes you money, and you don't even know it
The IRS is the first to notify you of your indebtedness to them, yet it remains silent when you are running a positive balance.
Did you receive your tax refund this year? Did you neglect to send a tax return, thinking your income was too low?
You might have a stack of cash waiting for you.
READ: Will I be taxed for employer tuition assistance?
Every year, millions in unclaimed and undelivered tax refunds stack up in the IRS bank account. (In 2011, the IRS announced $153.3 million was waiting for taxpayers to pick up). And the rightful owners of these monetary rewards do not know they have money waiting for them. There are a number of ways this can happen.
Undeliverable tax refunds
Every year, the IRS sends out tax refunds by mail to some 30 million Americans. Some of these are disbursed to old addresses and returned to sender. Others are lost in the mail and never cashed. If you filed your taxes manually and have not received your refund, then you should check to ensure your mailing address is current. You might also have a refund waiting for you without your knowledge.
Unclaimed tax refunds
If you did not file taxes because your income level does not require you to file, the IRS might owe you a refund. This is because an Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) has been awarded to low wage earners in recent years. If you qualify, the credit could easily outweigh your tax obligation.
This is true whether your work withholds money from your paycheck automatically or not. The amount of money you can receive depends upon your income and the number of qualifying children you have. If your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is under the Income Level in the chart below, then you can qualify for the maximum credit.
READ: Am I being taxed on my fringe benefits?
Even if your income is slightly above the line, you could qualify for partial credit.
Children (#)
3 or more
Income Level (individual/filing jointly)
Maximum Credit
If you did not file a tax return and think your Earned Income Tax Credit might earn you a refund this year, the IRS has an Earned Income Tax Credit page to guide you through the process.
If you believe you might have a refund waiting for you, use the Where's my refund tool located on the IRS website. If you do not claim your rightful rewards within three years, you will be unable to claim them, period.
READ: Why your employer's gym membership perk may cost you at tax time
On the other hand, if you have three years of Earned Income Credits owed to you, the refund could really help you out this year.

The St. Paul, Minn., native put up a 1.75 goals-against average during the month, helping the Gophers to 5-2-2 record, including a six-game unbeaten streak. Wilcox, a draft choice of the Tampa Bay Lightning, has started in 13 of the team's 15 games this season, posting a 1.61 goals-against average in just under 820 minutes of action to lead the WCHA.

During the six-game unbeaten stretch in Novemeber, Wilcox led the fourth-ranked Gophers to four wins and two draws that included a 4-0 shutout at Alaska Anchorage and a 3-1 victory over rival Wisconsin. The Gophers will travel to face Colorado College at 7:30 p.m. Friday, a game that can be seen on FOX Sports Norths Plus channel.

As an author, researcher, and gluten-free advocate, I have been raising awareness for celiac disease because I know that with increased awareness will come more research, better diagnoses, and better treatment. Illustrating this point is the fact that van Heel's studies on the genetic links to celiac disease are leading to more research which may lead to new and more effective ways to treat the disease, a prospect which should please celiacs around the globe.
Celiac disease is caused by an autoimmune reaction to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley, affecting approximately 1% of the population and 300 million Americans. The disease attacks the villi, the finger-shaped structures that line the small intestine, leading to stomach troubles and
"Substantial" evidence has been found by British researchers that the genes which are connected with celiac disease are also linked to other autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis. Thus scientists are able to understand how the genetic risk factors for the disease operate by changing the number of immune system genes that cells make. Additionally, it's now understood that there are "hundreds" of genetic risk factors, which means that scientists should be able to "have a good guess at nearly half of the genetic risk at present," van Heel wrote in the Nature Genetics journal, which published his study.
How come only 3% of celiac Americans have been properly diagnosed? Chances are, they or their doctors haven't even heard of the disease. Research on celiac disease in the U.S. depends completely on the generosity of benefactors for its funding. There would be no way to continue this research and the efforts to raise awareness without these charitable donations. Out of the estimated fifty autoimmune diseases that have been discovered by doctors, celiac disease is the only one for which research isn't supported by the U.S. government.
After years of running around in circles with clueless doctors in a quest to find the cause of my painful symptoms, I finally researched my symptoms on my own. Luckily, as a result of my own findings, I've been properly diagnosed, but managing the gluten-free diet is still a challenge. A pill that could offset genetic factors is appealing to many celiacs like myself. Although the treatment for celiac disease is simple, it calls for a lot of work and can be disheartening at times, requiring a total lifestyle change and a lot of time on home-cooking.
With this research into genetic links to celiac disease, we have more studies to look forward to, increased awareness, and possibly other treatment options. In the meantime, it's best to keep doing our parts to raise awareness and funds for research.
As always, Celiac.com welcomes your comments (see below).

Ms. Turbin's articles always seem to be a re-hashing of vague ideas with some unfulfilled promise of scientific knowledge. C'mon guys... this isn't journalism. This is a top-of-the-hour human-interest blurb--the sort of thing you assign 2nd graders so that they can learn to be better readers. Let's step it up a little, eh? You can only win over the scientific community with hard facts, not "human interest stories".

scQue814, if you can do a better job, then I highly recommend you start your own web site. Let's see whether you can surpass celiac.com's ranking of #10,016 on Alexa.

Thousand Oaks thrift store to celebrate reopening
Fibber McGee's Closet, a Thousand Oaks thrift store run by the Conejo Valley chapter of the National Charity League for the past 28 years, will celebrate its reopening Saturday.
There will be a ribbon-cutting at 9 a.m., discounts and giveaways.
"We have worked at making some improvements to our store — painting, some shelving and making it more comfortable to shop in," said Lisa Welin, a director for the store at 451 E. Avenida De Los Arboles.
On a recent Saturday, the shop was hopping with regular customers. Customer Sherry Haddad said the store has "many hidden treasures."
Haddad, of Thousand Oaks, was buying a DVD game for her son for $2 and other things. She said she's known about the shop for about three years and is in it probably about twice a month.
"I like to look at the jewelry," she said. "Sometimes you'll find antique things. Last week I scored a really nice brooch. The women here really give back, and it's all for a good cause, so I'm happy."
Jody Bingham, a store director, said that after the rent and store expenses are paid, money raised from sales is donated to 15 local philanthropies including Manna Conejo Valley Food Bank, My Stuff Bags Foundation, Many Mansions and the Cancer Support Community, as well as to high school scholarships.
"What I really enjoy about Fibber's and the National Charity League is that the money we collect for our community is funneled back into our community," Bingham said. "And it teaches our children to give back."
Shop adviser Teena Wong, said the National Charity League is a mother/daughter organization. Mothers and daughters sign up when the girls are in seventh grade commit to six years of volunteering.
The Conejo Valley chapter, founded in 1970, is one of few with its own thrift shop. It is run by the mothers, called Patronesses, and their daughters, called Ticktockers.
When a Ticktocker volunteers, she generally shadows her mother, stocking merchandise, working at the cash register, dressing the window, helping customers and vacuuming.
"I've made a lot of friends because I'm the only girl in my grade level who goes to Thousand Oaks High School," said Christina Benevento, 15, a Ticktocker going on four years. "I like doing it with my friends. It's fun. I also enjoy volunteering at Manna and at Sunrise Senior Living, where we do exercises with the residents, play bingo and Scrabble with them and walk their dogs. Here I make sure everything is in order, hang the clothes up and help the customers."
Daniela Voelker, of Thousand Oaks, said she donates clothes and shops at the store. She found her 12-year-old daughter's Halloween pirate costume of a jacket, belt and bandanna for $4 total.
"This is the kind of deal you find here," Voelker said. "I started to come years ago because my daughter was losing sweaters all the time, and rather than spending $20 all the time on something new, I would buy them here."

What Does Robert Plant's Future Hold?
After all of the hoopla of the Kennedy Center Honor, doing the David Letterman show, and releasing the long awaited Celebration Day, what's Robert Plant up to?
After all of the hoopla of the Kennedy Center Honor, doing the David Letterman show, and releasing the long awaited Celebration Day, what's Robert Plant up to?
In news that should (but really probably won't) quell those persistent Led Zeppelin reunion rumors, guitarist Jimmy Page has revealed he intends to hit the road for a solo tour next year.
Isn't it amazing that a band from England who was influenced by American music achieves world wide fame and critical success and then is honored for their contribution to American arts and culture? It happened over the weekend as Led Zeppelin was honored by the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
The three surviving members of Led Zeppelin are slated for an appearance on Monday night's (Dec. 3) 'Late Show with David Letterman.'
If you're like me, you likely have Led Zeppelin's catalog on vinyl, CD, the first and second boxed set. You also own How the West was Won and Celebration Day on CD, DVD and Blu-Ray, but now Led Zeppelin's entire catalog is getting the deluxe treatment.
We're learning more about 'People, Hell & Angels,' the most recent collection of previously unreleased material from Jimi Hendrix that was announced last week. For starters, we have the names of all 12 tracks (listed below) as well as a release date of March 5, 2013.
Led Zeppelin gave us one great night in 2007 that's turned into the new 'Celebration Day' concert film, but Jimmy Page reveals that he always thought more shows would follow. The only problem was that Robert Plant was busy with his own project at the time.
If you haven't been able to make it to a screening of Led Zeppelin's new concert film 'Celebration Day,' and just can't wait to get your hands on the whole thing next Tuesday (Nov. 19), good news: The band has decided to give fans an appetizer for the main course by posting their performance of 'Black Dog.'
There's no denying Thanksgiving is a holiday that proves just how awesome Americans are. Think about it-- it's an entire day dedicated to stuffing ourselves with fantastic food, spending time with family and friends and watching football. But what really makes Thanksgiving the ultimate American hol
Led Zeppelin holds very tight reigns on who uses their music and for what and they've now licensed their music for use on a new NBC drama.
Minnesota's nonprofit organizations are asking you to give to your favorite charities at GiveMN.org during the third annual "Give to the Max Day" on Nov. 15th, with hopes of raising as much money as possible for nonprofit organizations in 24 hours.

Im currently selling my Dolan Tuono SE with Sram Rival groupset with Look Keo 2 pedals and Cateye computer, i bought it from Formby cycles last year for £2000, in the time since then ive only done about 170 miles on it (seriously) mainly due to work commitments, so its obviously still in pristine condition (apart from the layer of dust thats building up on it!)
I dont really want to sell it as its a cracking bike but unfortunately Im trying to get some funds together as its been decided i should pop the question to the missus and that means the obligatory sparkly ring which aint gonna be cheap, so roll up, roll up and get an absolute bargain for £1250, if interested give me a bell on 07545906805

TORONTO -- Donald Fehr became the new executive director of the National Hockey League Players' Association on Saturday after union members voted overwhelmingly to accept the executive board's endorsement.
The 62-year-old Fehr is the former executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association. He held that post from 1983 until 2009.
Fehr, who was serving as an unpaid NHLPA consultant, will start in his new position immediately.
The collective bargaining agreement between the union and league is set to expire in September 2012.
Fehr's appointment was hardly a surprise considering he had gained the board's support.
But it came after a search committee recommended Fehr to the executive board, which then put it to a full vote of the union membership.
Ryan Getzlaf, Jamie Langenbrunner, Brian Rafalski, Brian Rolston and Mathieu Schneider comprised the search committee.
"This process took a while, and it took a while because from the players' standpoint they wanted to be sure," Fehr said during a conference call. "I wanted them to be sure they had made a decision they were comfortable with, that all the players had an opportunity to have their say and that this judgment represented a consensus view of the entire membership.
"It has, and that's both quite an honor to me and is also quite humbling."
Fehr, who said he grew up watching some hockey and considers himself a fan, plans to immediately meet with players while becoming acclimated with the details of the collective bargaining agreement, revenue sharing and the economics of the game.
"Those are the three main pieces you have to have in order to do the kind of analysis that it will take to prepare for collective bargaining," he said. "What goes right along with this is educating the membership at the same time as I educate myself as to what those issues are, what's important about them, how various things affect the players and then additionally what changes in the agreement -- either that we might propose or that the commissioner's office might propose -- could affect them.
"Then to work with the players to identify individuals who are willing to and whom the rest of the players would like to serve on their negotiating committees moving forward. That's an awful lot of work."
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said the league was happy that the union found a new boss.
"We are pleased that the leadership position at the players' association has been filled, and we look forward to working with Don in his new role," Bettman said in a statement.
Michael Weiner, the head of the Major League Baseball Players Association, said Fehr's experience in baseball will serve him well in his new post.
"We congratulate Don and the NHLPA, and we wish them well in all future collective bargaining matters," Weiner said in a release. "Don's experience with the MLBPA will surely benefit hockey players going forward.
"The MLBPA, as it has done in the past, stands ready to assist the NHLPA whenever called upon."
Fehr takes over an organization that's been plagued by turmoil and uncertainty in recent years. The union has had four leaders since the end of the 2004-05 NHL lockout.
During his time in charge of the baseball union, Fehr developed a reputation of being a fierce negotiator and led the baseball players through the 1994-95 strike and subsequent cancellation of the World Series.
Fehr said he is unsure when negotiations with the league would begin, but guessed that it would be "probably sometime a year from this spring, maybe a little sooner than that but that's only a target date.
"Down the road a few months I expect to have a much better idea of when it would make sense."
Fehr said it's very unfair for fans to automatically assume another lockout is imminent because of his appointment.
"A lot of people have knee-jerk reactions to things, but a knee-jerk reaction that would say my background ... suggests I am a hawk such that it necessarily means there will be problems in the negotiations I don't think reflects a very complete or sophisticated understanding of what we went through," he said. "You have an obligation to negotiate in good faith with the owners and we will do that and they have an obligation to negotiate in good faith with the players and I trust and hope they will do that.
"We treat a work stoppage, a strike, as a last resort and it's something you consider only when you believe that all alternatives have failed. If you would ask me if I anticipate a stoppage, I would say no and I certainly hope we won't have one but I'm not going to predict what happens in negotiations."
The NHLPA also announced its membership voted overwhelmingly to accept amendments that were put forward by the constitution committee and endorsed by the executive board. The union said in a statement the amendments add clarity to, and simplify, the new constitution as well as the association's decision-making process.
"Would I have taken the position without the amendments? The answer is I don't know for sure but it would've been a vastly more difficult choice," Fehr said. "What this does is put the director almost precisely in the position of a prime minister and that is to say the director has significant authority and responsibility but so long as, and only so long as, that individual can maintain significant majority support among the executive and board and players."

DEVIN DAVIS In memory of Devin Frehner Davis, 30, of Alamo, who passed away Jan. 31, 2013. Being born on April Fool's Day, 1982, he was a hilarious prankster who always made those around him laugh. He spent his childhood in Alamo and, after high school, moved to Las Vegas where he met the love of his life and best friend, Hillary Laugeson. Devin was a devout husband and father, and spending time with his family was his number one priority. He was the kind of man who would buy his wife flowers for no reason and would do anything for anyone. Devin enjoyed riding dirtbikes, making people laugh, skateboarding, hiking, playing guitar, writing poems, and shooting. Devin was proficient in several construction trades and was a Local #1977 Carpenter who took great pride in his work. Devin was preceded in death by his great-grandmother, Helen Schofield; grandfather, LeMoine Davis; his "gramma," Karen; and his daughter, Hope. He is survived by his wife, Hillary Davis; daughter, Michelle; son, Kash; parents, Marshall and Julie Davis; grandmother, Shirley Davis; grandparents, Jay and Bonnie Schofield; sisters, Tani (Shorty), Linzi (Jason), and Chelsi (Abel); brother, Camron (Miranda); sisters-in-law, Heather and Haley (Jon); countless aunts and uncles; cousins; nieces and nephews; friends; and his "puppers," Belle. Services for Devin will be at 11 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 9, at the LDS Chapel on Purple Sage St. in Alamo. "We love you Dev!"

I love the shirt and had to have it once I came across it. I wore it the day I got it. It's more vintage styling reminded me of when I was a little kid pulling for the Charlotte Hornets. I wore a t-shirt under it just because I'm borderline OCD & neurotic but I could wear it by itself. I'm amazed at the quality of items the NBA Store offers.

J-40 for Long Distance Cruising ?
I haven''t seen much discussion on this forum re J40 and it''s long distance potential. I notice that "Gyrphon" is currently listed for sale after a fairly quick circumnavagation. My initial thinking is that J40s sail very well, should be well constructed but lack needed storage. The admidship head could be converted into wet locker/storage pantry while keeping the actual head for seagoing usage. Does anyone have experience with a J40 in a seaway. How is the motion, do they sail on their ears, do they pound up-wind, etc? Is there an issue with the rudder bearing? Would greatly appreciate any input on these issues as well as current thinking for a short handed boat in the 37 to 40 range that can sail yet hold up to the rigors of long distance cruising.

On THE MIDDLE's upcoming episode, titled "Wheel of Pain," after accidentally breaking the family room window, Axl, Sue and Brick decide to band together and place the blame on the neighborhood bad seed Glossner children. But Frankie and Mike know that the kids aren't being truthful and put together a wheel of pain, in which the kids must spin the wheel and land on a consequence, hoping that one of them will break down and confess -- which puts Sue's "Sue-weet 16 Party" at risk. Meanwhile, Frankie needs to please her no-nonsense dental assisting school teacher, Mrs. Armwood (Jane Kaczmarek, "Malcolm in the Middle"), in order to obtain a prime dental rotation spot, on WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET) on ABC.

Nick Charles
CNN's first sports anchor
two-year struggle with bladder cancer, the cable network announced.
Charles began at Atlanta-based CNN on the network's first day, June 1, 1980, and was a fixture on the daily highlight show "Sports Tonight" for 17 years, paired for most of that time with Fred Hickman.
For CNN's sister network TNT, Charles was host of its studio show for the 1992 and 1994 Winter Olympics and the Pan-Am and Goodwill Games in the 1980s and '90s. He also covered a range of sporting events, including horse racing's Triple Crown events, Wimbledon and boxing matches.
After leaving CNN in 2001, he mainly covered boxing for Showtime.
Nicholas Charles Nickeas was born June 30, 1946, in Chicago and worked late-night jobs in high school to help support his family. He studied communications at Columbia College in Chicago and drove a taxi to help pay his tuition.
He was still driving taxis in 1970 when he landed his first gig with WICS in Springfield, Ill. That's when he adopted the name Nick Charles at the urging of his news director, CNN said.
Charles later left Springfield to work at local stations in Baltimore and Washington before joining CNN.
Don Diamond
Veteran character actor
Don Diamond, 90, a veteran character actor best known for playing the sidekick El Toro in the 1950s TV series "The Adventures of Kit Carson" and Crazy Cat in the 1960s TV sitcom "F Troop," died June 19, his stepdaughter Fortuna Israel said.
Diamond, a Woodland Hills resident who had Parkinson's disease and other ailments, died as he was being taken by ambulance to a hospital.
Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on June 4, 1921, Diamond graduated from the University of Michigan, where he studied drama and Spanish. He served in the Army Air Forces during World War II.
Besides his memorable sidekick roles, Diamond played Cpl. Reyes on "Zorro" in the late 1950s and the character Goldmouth in the "Get Smart" episode "The Treasure of C. Errol Madre."
He appeared in dozens of other TV shows from the 1950s through the '80s and did voiceover work for animated programs and commercials, including "Tijuana Toads" and "The New Adventures of Zorro."

Often overlooked by travelers, guests who plan a visit to Guapiles on their Costa Rica tours will have the town's wealth of fresh produce and boutique-style shops to themselves.
Located in Costa Rica's banana-growing region, the city's agricultural roots come alive at Guapiles' Saturday market. With fresh bananas always for sale, the market provides a chance for visitors to sample a range of other succulent native fruits and vegetables, giving everyone a literal taste of the Costa Rican tropics.
Guapiles' number of boutique shops provide the perfect opportunity for guests to find a unique souvenir or great new accessory. Businesses here sell everything from furniture to umbrellas, and so accommodate a range of shopping tastes. The town is also known for its number of vintage clothing stores, which provide a great trip down memory lane and affordable prices that are simply too good to pass up.
After a day of shopping, a perfect end to any Guapiles trip is a stop at one of the village sodas, or bars. Serving up both Costa Rican favorites like casados plates and gallo pinto, many eateries also feature American fast food-type meals like classic hamburgers.
