While the Northeast is no stranger to snow, this storm will be the seventh storm to hit the region in the past 35 days. The string started with the Dec. 26 blizzard that left the region's transportation systems crippled.
New York got snow and some light freezing rain this morning with heavy sleet later tonight into Wednesday.
Last week's snowstorm broke a record in New York City – pushing the monthly total to more than 50 inches -- the snowiest January in more than a century. The average snow total for New York is about 21 inches.

I wouldn't run the different jets without opening up the box in some way. I tried leaving the lid off, but I didn't like the additional noise, so I went to a 2-inch hole in the lid. That was considerably quieter. I have kientech's larger nozzle in the muffler, too.
When I was riding in really cold weather (like well below freezing) all the time a few years ago, the warm-up time was just too long, and it's cured now. It was always okay 35 degrees and up, just a little cold-blooded.
It'll probably help if you just richen up the idle circuit, but I found that the lean spot was somewhere off idle. It would pop off every time, even down to ten degrees, and sit there and idle, but you couldn't give it any throttle for a few minutes. Now with the jetting changes, it's much better.
Ladybug, I bet you have a weak battery in yours. Mine always pops right off, even below freezing.

Found Cum in some weird places, must be my roommate!
This is gonna sound sick. OK here is the thing, I live with 3 other girls and 1 guy. All of us are fairly sexual, like we talk about sex quite a... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
That's really not cool... I wouldn't mind knowing that my roommates masturbated because I know we all have our needs, but doing it in the public places and not cleaning up after yourself? No. It's totally disrespectful. I totally feel you.
But considering you guys are all pretty grossed out about it, I would directly confront him. Tell him that it bothers you... It's pretty crappy also to live with someone who's passive about these things, and holds silent grudges instead of speaking out. If it makes you more comfortable, you guys can all talk to him about it together. Just don't be mean about it. Offer suggestions instead of attacks, and make sure he doesn't feel cornered.
What Guys Said 3
There's no excuse for how this guy masturbates. It's extremely simple to have a tissue ready and then use it... and then dispose of it properly. Not be jerking off any place in your apartment and just letting it fly. That's pretty discussing. You girls need to put a note on his bed telling him to clean up his act or move out. Or your note could say to him what you said on here. Either he'll do that or he'll start acting more like a gentlemen. I think it'll be the latter one. lol!

If so, who pays for the electricity they use?It is very dangerous and a serious threat to man and beast alike.

Its funny how its the little things in life that mean the most...if you agree have a drink with me and raise your glasses for a toast
Im a professional working girl that loves her job but also loves to relax, unwind and be surrounded by friends and family. Im looking for a man that has the same qualities and on the traditional side. Someone who loves to travel and try new things. I like men that have confidence and know what they want. A guy that can fix things, eat like a real man, have a beer, watch sports but can also have a very caring, sensitive side as well and see the beauty and respect in and for life. Someone with a sense of humor and can laugh at themselves and me for that matter. I am pretty witty and tend to laugh my way through life. With out laughing daily and making fun of myself, I dont think I would make it through this crazy world! I have a solid group of friends that love to party and have fun when time permits but are centerally very family oriented. Family and my man will always come first though and I'm really looking for someone who believes the same. Who isn't afraid of taking care of a woman and taking the wheel in life. Respect your elders, watch out for your neighbors and their children, wave, smile, please, thank you, put money in a meter if it's going to expire, party at the local bars and not worry about being kicked out if things get "too fun" because we all know the people here are doing just that, having fun, not getting into bar fights....thats the town I live in. I love to camp, havasu trips, sporting events (Go Angels!, Go Chargers!) the mountains, wine, cooking, sharing time just laughing together. Hawaii has become a second home for me. I try to get to a tropical place at least once a year but definitely am not opposed to staying in and cooking a good meal for my man with a movie and some wine. I strive to put 110% into everything i do. i love hard and always take care of the ones I love too. ***For the record, I'm terrible at this whole profile thing. that's my disclaimer. Those are just a few things about me and a snapshot of my life.

Charger games, Angel games! Football season, the holidays. Cooking while listening to country music and dancing around in my kitchen, blue, being sore the next day, laughing so hard you are crying. I love the beach at sunset and flowers of course
Love to go to sporting events, working out at the gym or taking my dog on a good run by the beach. I do get a little stir crazy staying indoors so i enjoy going out to dinners or out on the town and really love to travel

Originally written on One Jet At A Time | Last updated 5/12/13
During his college career at the Washington State University, Chris Ivory played 3 seasons of football, collecting 91 rushes for 534 yards and 4 TDs. After a new coaching staff took over for the Cougars, Ivory found himself slipping down the depth chart. This would ultimately lead to off-the-field issues for Ivory, which would have him dismissed from Washington State. Chris Ivory was overlooked in the 2010 NFL Draft, going undrafted. Ivory managed to impress New Orleans scouts enough for the Saints to sign him as an undrafted free agent. After signing with the Saints, he continued to impress during training camp and preseason. This included a 76 yard TD reception in the preseason. Chris Ivory hasn't really had a full season to prove himself in the NFL yet, since he has been involved in the Saints three and four back sets. During his rookie season in 2010, Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas went down with injuries. This would be Ivory's only chance to shine. Ivory played in 12 games for the Saints this year, accumulating 137 rushes for 716 yards and 5 TD's. An injury during the Saints last regular season game would sideline him for their playoff run and ultimately place him on the PUP list for the first 6 games of the 2011 season. (More after the jump...) Ivory's next 2 seasons with New Orleans would once again place him in the back of their RB depth chart. In 2011, Ivory rushed 79 times for 374 yards and 1 TD. In 2012, Ivory rushed 40 times for 217 yards and 2 TD's. Chris Ivory's NFL rushing stats: 256 attempts, 1,307 yards, 8 TD's. Chris Ivory's NFL receiving stats: 3 receptions, 32 yards Following the 2012 season, Chris Ivory became a restricted free agent. The New York Jets were interested in him signing him as a restricted free agent, after letting Shonn Greene go in the offseason, but were not willing to give up their 2nd round pick. Subsequently, the Jets would wait until Day 3 of the 2013 NFL Draft to make a trade with New Orleans. New York sent their 4th round pick to New Orleans in exchange for Chris Ivory. The New York Jets would sign Chris Ivory to a 3 year deal worth $6 million, as well as $4 million in rushing yard incentives. My Take: Chris Ivory has a lot to prove yet in the NFL, after spending 3 seasons on the bottom of New Orleans' three and sometimes four back depth chart. Chris Ivory is one of the NFL's best kept secrets. His ability to shake off tackles and burst through the holes with great straight line speed makes him an explosive back. Ivory has an impressive career 5.1 yards per carry average. During his rookie season, Ivory coughed up the ball 4 times which lead to 2 turnovers in 12 games. If Ivory can keep up his explosive running habits and limit his fumbles, he can become a featured back in the NFL. Chris is finally being given his chance to shine in the NFL and I think he will use it to impress everyone.

Get out your scorecard, there's been a lot of personnel shifts going on these days at Condé Nast…. In the latest reshuffling of execs within the past month, Chris Mitchell will move from his perch at the publisher's Wired Media unit to become VP/Publisher of Condé Nast Traveler, effective today. The shifting titles comes a few weeks after New Yorker magazine publisher Drew Schutte was named chief revenue officer of the new Condé Nast Digital. The decision also resulted in Lisa Hughes is being taken from CN Traveler and placed into Schutte's old post at the New Yorker.
Now, Condé Nast needs to find a replacement for Mitchell, who had been the VP/Publisher of Wired Media since last April 2008. During the previous four years, he held the same title at Details. Before that, he was the associate publisher of the New Yorker. No word on whether Mitchell's successor will result another in-house shift, though it's pretty likely given the wave of layoffs the company had back in November. Release

"I love these roasted clams on a cold winter's night, especially with deliciously crusty bread for the extra chorizo butter," says Erin Zircher. Oysters may be substituted for the clams.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Make the chorizo butter: pulse the chorizo in a food processor until it resembles coarse bread crumbs. Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until slightly crispy, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for another 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in the paprika, cinnamon, and red pepper flakes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Combine the chorizo with the room-temperature butter. Set aside.
Make the herb jam: set up a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Add the greens, cilantro, and parsley; steam until limp and tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, let cool completely, and finely chop. Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until translucent, about 1 minute. Add the steamed greens and herbs; sauté gently to evaporate the excess moisture and meld the flavors, about 1 minute. Season with salt, remove from the heat, and let cool completely.
Make the roasted clams: preheat the oven to 450º F. Place the opened clams in a roasting pan or on a sheet tray, using the bread slices to steady them. Top each clam with a teaspoon of herb jam and as much chorizo butter as desired. Roast until the butter is bubbling and the ingredients are warmed all of the way through, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Serve with the toasted bread on the side.

Treasure Coast Fishing Report: Oct. 4
Randy Pensch from Professional Outfitters said there is a lot of excitement these days, especially over the number of tarpon on the beach and the start of the mullet run. The tarpon bite, which has been steadier in recent days, is focused squarely on the schools of glass minnows moving up and down the beach. Pensch even reported a wahoo caught from the beach, which is very rare. The channel in the Sebastian Inlet is holding plenty of big redfish and a handful of snook right now. Inshore, the mullet run started out strong, but Pensch says most of the mullet are in the ocean from Sebastian Inlet north. There have been a few reports of trout and redfish from the flats between Sebastian and Fort Pierce.
There is plenty of action off Fort Pierce beaches too, according to Kadri Benton at White's Tackle. Jacks and ladyfish are plentiful, but if anglers find the mullet schools, then catching a snook or tarpon is almost guaranteed. Offshore anglers are picking up a few dolphin and sailfish here and there, between 100 and 200 feet, but live bait has been hard to find. Benton also reported swordfish to 300 pounds south of the Fort Pierce Inlet in 1,500 feet. River anglers are reporting a lot of trout and redfish action, especially south of Fort Pierce toward the power lines. Topwater plugs are really producing. Benton recommends Jumpin' Minnow and Zara Spooks, but any topwater plug with a dark back will do.
Capt. Bob Bushholz aboard Catch 22 Charters reported some good tarpon and snook action at The Crossroads on the last of the incoming, first of the outgoing tides. The most productive bite for Bushholz has been at the Stuart Causeway on those same tides, when the cleanest water moves into the river. There have been redfish to 32 inches, black drum, snook and mangrove snapper around the causeway. For Bushholz, the mullet run has been off this year, and he chalks it up to the dirty water, saying there have been bigger schools north toward Fort Pierce, but they just do not seem to be making it south. Offshore, there have been a few dolphin hitting early in the day near Push Button Hill out to 400 feet.
Bass action is still very good on the lake. Leif Garrard reports plenty of action along the outside grass edges from King's Bar all the way to Indian Prairie. Spinner baits, Skinny Dippers and Toads are working early in the day. By afternoon, anglers are still switching to flipping jigs into the deeper cover. Garrard says anglers are still getting 40 to 60 bass a day. Most weigh between 1 and 3 pounds, with the bigger fish hitting live, wild shiners fished in the same areas. While the speck bite has not started yet, there are still plenty of bluegill around the grass lines near Henry Creek Canal. Both worms and crickets are working.

I don't have any movie channels, like HBO, but movies like Rudy and Against All Odds are free on the TV listings for DOD on the website and I can record them from there, but I don't actually see them when I search thru the R22. I didn't even know this existed until today.
Why can't I see these channels in the guide?

Before we hang Clayton, remember who's really at fault here:Originally Posted by Redlegs23
Ryan. Freel. Had he caught the ball, the bases aren't loaded, the runners that ARE on are on first and second, and a ground ball to Clayton ends the inning with an easy step-on-the bag.
Clayton and Cormier should never have been put in the situations they were placed in. They are still at fault, but don't bury the new guys and absolve Freel because he's a fortunate son here in Cincy.
I hate the Cardinals. I hate the Cubs.
Let's. Go. Reds.

That is why the Reds will not make the playoffs bad defense
After Encarnacion made a throwing error that cost us a game he was benched for like 3 games. Anyone want to bet that Clayton is back out there tomorrow though? Probablly batting leadoff.
OK guys, I take blame for this potential loss. I was at class and during the break I logged on to follow the game when we were up 1-0. During the 3 minutes I was online the Dodgers scored their first 3 runs. I just got home from class and the score was 4-4 when I turned on the TV to see Clayton pull Hatte off the bag and then the Dodgers proceeded to score 5 more runs. I've watched this game for about a total of 8 minutes now and have seen the Dodgers score 8 of their 9 runs and the Reds blow a lead and a tie. I will take one for the team and turn the TV off and bore myself for the rest of the night. The Reds should proceed to comeback now. Goodnight.

"I helped my parents celebrate the New Year and their first great grandchild with these lovely notecards. The high quality images in combination with the beautiful foil together made the perfect announcement for friends and family. Always a high quality product and timely delivery. Thanks once again Tiny Prints!"
"We thought this was going to be the standard paper used at Walgreens etc. It is not! High quality, thick paper. The cards turned out great! Faster shipping than expected - even very close to the holidays!!"
"We took a family photo in our backyard in the fall when the leaves were bright red. This became the larger photo. Then we took a close-up of our 4 month old daughter in her holiday dress for the smaller photo. Our color scheme was red and black clothing, which went nicely with the black and gold motif. Close up photos of the family were too big for the design, so I recommend taking some shots from a distance. Overall, it turned out beautiful!"
"We love how the card turned out. We used the "vintage" look with our photo and liked how it looked. We also loved the greeting."
"I chose the scalloped edge which made it even more beautiful. The paper has a metallic or pearlized sheen which is extra nice too. "Christmas Bliss' was the perfect sentiment describing my 5 Grandchildren! And I love that you're able to personal a message and include extra pics on the back"

Number: 0290Policy
Aetna considers scalp cooling (i.e., using ice-filled bags/bandages, cryogel packs, or specially designed devices) experimental and investigational as a means to prevent hair loss during chemotherapy because the effectiveness of this process has not been established.Background
Hair loss is a potentially distressing side effect of several cytotoxic drugs. Scalp cooling has been suggested to prevent hair loss.
A Medicare National Coverage Determination explains that keeping the scalp cool during chemotherapy has been noted to reduce the risk of hair loss. The cooling may be done by packing the scalp with ice-filled bags or bandages, or by specially-designed devices filled with cold-producing chemicals activated during chemotherapy. The NCD states that while ice-filled bags or bandages or other devices used for scalp hypothermia during chemotherapy may be covered as supplies of the kind commonly furnished without a separate charge, no separate charge for them would be recognized.
In a review of the literature, Tollenaar and associates (1994) noted that scalp hypothermia might prevent alopecia only in a cytotoxic regimen containing an anthracycline as the sole alopecia-inducing agent. With current adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer, in which a combination of cyclophosphamide and an anthracycline is often used, there is no place for scalp hypothermia. In this regard, Christodoulou et al (2002) reported that the MSC cold cap system is effective in preventing alopecia from anthracycline, etoposide or taxane, but not from anthracycline-taxane combinations or ifosfamide-containing regimens. Protiere et al (2002) reported on the results of scalp cooling in 105 women with breast cancer receiving adjuvant chemotherapy with mitoxantrone and cyclophosphamide compared with 109 similarly treated women who were not offered scalp cooling. Although the nurses and subjects reported less hair loss with scalp cooling, study subjects were not randomly assigned to treatment groups, and the study did not include a sham control so that neither the study subjects nor the nurse assessors were blinded to treatment allocation.
In a non-randomized pilot study, Ridderheim et al (2003) reported that a new digitized scalp-cooling system is safe and effective in preventing chemotherapy-induced alopecia in female patients (n = 74). The authors concluded that this new system makes it suitable for use in future randomized clinical trials designed to explore optimal temperatures and durations of cooling for different chemotherapy regimens in hopes of broadening the application of hypothermia for alopecia prevention in cancer patients. The authors stated that more data is needed on adjuvant treatment of breast cancer patients and long-term effects.
In a randomized controlled study, Macduff et al (2003) examined the effectiveness of scalp cooling in preventing alopecia for breast cancer patients (n = 30) receiving the combination chemotherapy of epirubicin and docetaxel. The authors concluded that the benefits of scalp cooling in patients treated with taxanes and anthracycline drugs are clearly marginal and less impressive than for some single drug breast cancer chemotherapy regimens. Despite the limitations of small numbers of patients and high dropout (n = 9), this study has been useful in establishing the extent, and illuminating the nature, of the marginal benefits and disadvantages of having this treatment. In addition, exploratory analyses have raised further questions regarding the criteria for clinical significance and how to prospectively identify individual patients who may do well in scalp cooling treatment.
In a review on the prevention of chemotherapy-induced hair loss by scalp cooling, Grevelman and Breed (2005) stated that scalp cooling is effective but not for all chemotherapy patients. These investigators noted that further psychological, clinical and biophysical research is needed to ascertain the exact indications for cooling and to improve the effect, tolerance, side-effects and the cooling procedure. The authors stated that multi-center clinical studies should be performed to gather this information.
An assessment of scalp cooling by the the Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU, 2005) concluded that "[f]urther studies of patient benefit, risks, and cost effectiveness are needed". Spaeth et al (2006) stated that "scalp cooling (helmets or continuous cooling systems) can avoid or diminish hair loss in selected chemotherapy regimens but tolerance can be fair and long harmlessness needs to be confirmed by prospective studies".
In a systematic review on non-pharmacological strategies for managing common chemotherapy adverse effects, Lotfi-Jam et al (2008) stated that findings from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of reasonable quality provided limited support for cognitive distraction, exercise, hypnosis, relaxation, and systematic desensitization to reduce nausea and vomiting, psycho-education for fatigue, and scalp cooling to reduce hair loss. The authors concluded that although some strategies seem promising, the quality of the RCTs was generally quite low, making it difficult to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of self-care strategies. Future studies with better design and reporting of methodological issues are needed to establish evidence-based self-care recommendations for people receiving chemotherapy.
Mols et al (2009) described the effectiveness and burden of scalp cooling and the satisfaction with wigs, with hair re-growth, and with body image. Breast cancer patients treated with (n = 98) and without (n = 168) scalp cooling completed questionnaires before chemotherapy and 3 weeks and 6 months after completion of chemotherapy. Scalp cooling was effective in preventing chemotherapy-induced hair loss in 32 of 62 available patients (52 %). Even though patients knew hair loss was temporary, it was a burden to 54 % of them (n = 100). Scalp cooling was a burden for only 17 out of 51 patients (33 %). Most patients who used a wig or head cover were satisfied with it (82 %, n = 126). Patients were moderately satisfied with the regrowth of their hair after chemotherapy. Successfully cooled patients rated their hair as less important for their body image compared to patients who did experience hair loss (p = 0.014). The authors concluded that chemotherapy-induced hair loss is perceived as burdensome. It may be prevented by offering scalp cooling which is often an effective method to prevent this form of hair loss and is well-tolerated by patients. However, if possible, scalp-cooling techniques should be improved and their effectiveness should be increased because if scalp cooling is unsuccessful, patients' rate their hair loss as more burdensome compared to non-cooled patients.
In a review on chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA), Trueb (2009) stated that the major approach to minimize CIA is by scalp cooling. Unfortunately, most published data on scalp cooling are of poor quality. Several experimental approaches to the development of pharmacologic agents are under evaluation and include drug-specific antibodies, hair growth cycle modifiers, cytokines and growth factors, anti-oxidants, inhibitors of apoptosis, as well as cell-cycle and proliferation modifiers. Ultimately, the protection should be selective to the hair follicle (e.g., topical application such that the anti-cancer effectiveness of chemotherapy is not hampered). Among the few agents that have been evaluated so far in humans, AS101 and minoxidil were able to reduce the severity or shorten the duration of CIA, but could not prevent CIA.
Auvinen and colleagues (2010) analyzed the effectiveness of scalp cooling caps in preventing CIA among 64 patients. Subjects were given one of the following chemotherapeutic treatments: (i) doxorubicin 60 mg/m2, (ii) docetaxel 80 mg/m2, (iii) FEC (5-fluorouracil 600 mg/m2, epirubicin 60 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2) or (iv) the combination of 3 cycles of docetaxel (80 mg/m2) followed by 3 cycles of FEC (5-fluorouracil 600 mg/m2, epirubicin 60 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2). All the chemotherapy treatments were given in a thrice-weekly schedule. Patients with early stage disease were given 6 adjuvant chemotherapy cycles, while patients with metastatic disease were given 9 chemotherapy cycles. Patients were provided with detailed instructions on how to treat the hair at home for 1 to 3 days following the chemotherapy treatment. Hair loss was evaluated after the 3rd, 6th and final treatments. In the final results, major hair loss was avoided in all patients given doxorubicin treatment, in 83.3 % of patients given docetaxel treatment, in 76.5 % of patients given FEC treatment, and in 78 % of patients given docetaxel followed by FEC. In the final evaluation, 87.5 % of the patients considered the avoidance of hair loss to be important. Only 20.3 % of the patients needed to use a wig. The authors concluded that these findings showed that all the patient groups studied gained some benefit by using scalp cooling caps. The findings of this small study need to be validated by well-designed studies.
van den Hurk and associates (2010) evaluated the effect of scalp cooling on well-being of breast cancer patients with CIA. A prospective multi-center study was performed in 13 hospitals. Breast cancer patients treated with (n = 98) and without (n = 168) scalp cooling completed questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC-QLQ-BR23, BIS, MBA, HADS) before chemotherapy, and 3 weeks and 6 months following the last chemotherapy cycle were included in this analysis. Scalp cooling was effective in 52 % of the cases. Alopecia was considered among the most distressing problems at all 3 moments of measurement. A trend towards higher well-being was found in successfully scalp-cooled patients, as indicated by a general better health-related quality of life and better body image, whereas unsuccessfully scalp-cooled patients reported lowest well-being. The authors concluded that scalp cooling contributes not only to the well-being of successfully scalp-cooled patients but also seems to cause additional distress when patients lose their hair despite scalp cooling. This might be related to disappointment due to alopecia despite scalp cooling or possibly to a general higher biological availability of cytostatics. The authors recommended additional support for patients when scalp cooling is not successful and to spend more effort to maximise the effectiveness of scalp cooling.
In a review on CIA, Trueb (2010) stated that 47 % of female patients consider hair loss the most traumatic aspect of chemotherapy, and 8 % would decline chemotherapy because of fear of hair loss. On the basis of the current understanding of the underlying pathobiology, a number of agents have been evaluated in the treatment of this condition. Among the agents that have been evaluated, topical minoxidil was able to reduce the severity or shorten the duration but could not prevent hair loss. The major approach to minimize CIA is by scalp cooling, although most published data on scalp cooling are of poor quality. Because chemotherapy-induced toxicity has been associated with nutritional status, nutritional assessment and support might confer beneficial effects. Several experimental approaches to the development of pharmacological agents are under evaluation including: anti-oxidants, cytokines and growth factors, cell cycle and proliferation modifiers, and inhibitors of apoptosis. The author concluded that at present, no approved pharmacologic treatment of CIA exists. The incidence and severity of the condition are variable and related to the particular chemo-therapeutic protocol. They noted that CIA is mostly reversible, and appropriate hair and scalp care and temporarily wearing a wig may be the most effective coping strategy.
An UpToDate review on "Chemotherapy-induced alopecia " (Payne, 2013) stated that "Although scalp protection through cooling or tourniquet has been reported to minimize delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to the scalp thereby potentially decreasing the risk of hair loss, case reports of cutaneous metastases or spread in these settings prevent general recommendation for their use. Because chemotherapy-associated hair loss is transient and usually (although not always) completely reversible after cessation of therapy, adequate counseling and psychological support before and during therapy should take precedence over the use of such devices".
Komen et al (2013) stated that the success of scalp cooling in preventing or reducing CIA is highly variable between patients and chemotherapy regimens. The outcome of hair preservation is often unpredictable and depends on various factors. These investigators performed a structured search of literature published from 1970 to February 2012 for articles that reported on factors influencing the effectiveness of scalp cooling to prevent CIA in patients with cancer. The literature search identified 192 reports, of which 32 studies were considered relevant. Randomized studies on scalp cooling are scarce and there is little information on the determinants of the result. The effectiveness of scalp cooling for hair preservation depends on dose and type of chemotherapy, with less favorable results at higher doses. Temperature seems to be an important determinant. Various studies suggested that a subcutaneous scalp temperature less than 22 °C is required for hair preservation. The authors concluded that the effectiveness of scalp cooling for hair preservation varies by chemotherapy type and dose, and probably by the degree and duration of cooling.

Harvey has participated in 28 career games with no starts. He has been dealing most recently with a hamstring problem.
Jackson was a sixth-round pick in this year's draft out of Western Kentucky. Harvey has recorded 22 tackles with the Colts over the last two-plus seasons, with none coming in 2014.
The team's Friday injury report is extensive, though guard Hugh Thornton (ankle) is the lone player listed as doubtful. Deemed questionable are safety Colt Anderson (groin) and linebacker Andy Studebaker (hamstring).
The half-dozen probables are cornerbacks Greg Toler (ribs), Vontae Davis (ankle) and Darius Butler (neck), wideout T.Y. Hilton (ankle), guard Joe Reitz (ankle) and linebacker Erik Walden (knee).
The Colts also elevated outside linebacker Daniel Adongo and tackle Xavier Nixon from the practice squad to the active roster, while adding fullback Robert Hughes and defensive tackle Jeris Pendleton to the practice squad.
Harvey had three total tackles in the previous five games. Forced into a prominent role, Harvey was decent against the run but struggled mightily in coverage.
Listed as probable on the injury report are running back Ahmad Bradshaw (foot), offensive tackle Anthony Castonzo (knee), tight end Coby Fleener (knee), inside linebacker Mario Harvey (knee), safety Joe Lefeged (knee) and offensive lineman Mike McGlynn (knee).

Islam in Global Politics
Conflict and Cross-Civilizational Bridging
By Bassam Tibi
Routledge – 2012 – 240 pages
Routledge – 2012 – 240 pages
Reaching beyond traditionally politicised scholarship to provide a unique perspective on the place of religion and culture in global and local politics, this book examines the impact of Islam on 'civilizational' relations between different groups and polities.
Bassam Tibi takes a highly original approach to the topic of religion in world politics, exploring the place of Islam in society and its frequent distortion in world politics to the more radical Islamism. Looking at how this becomes an immediate source of tension and conflict between the secular and the religious, Tibi rejects the 'clash of civilizations' theory and argues for the revival of Islamic humanism to help bridge the gap. Chapters expand on:
Shedding new light on the highly topical subject of Islam in politics and society, this book is an essential read for scholars and students of international politics, Islamic studies and conflict resolution.
"This book is a well-written work which links many fields and topics of politics, religious studies, Islamic studies, international relations, history, sociology, philosophy, logic and so on. Nonetheless, this work is mostly able to meet the expectation of political studies and international relations student in an advanced level." - Majid Daneshgar, Academy of Islamic Studies, University of Malaya; Journal of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations
1. The Inter-Civilizational Conflict in World Politics: Value-Conflicts and Bridging in the Pursuit of Post-Bipolar Peace 2. Inter-Cultural Dialogue as a Global Communication in Pursuit of Bridging: Cultural Particularisms and Value Conflicts Among the Civilizations 3. The New Intercivilizational Cold War of Ideas and Alternatives to it 4. What Islam for Bridging? The Heterogeneity of Civilizations as a Background for the Plea to Revive the Grammar of Islamic Humanism 5. Euro-Islam as a Vision for Bridging: A Liberal and Secular Islam for the Islamic Diaspora in Europe 6. The Inter-Civilizational Conflict, Bridging and Critical Theory: The Western Third-Worldist Romantizication of Islamism and Beyond 7. From Conflict to Bridgings: Conclusions
Bassam Tibi is a Professor Emeritus of International Relations. Between 1973 and 2009 he taught at the University of Goettingen, and he was A.D. White Professor at Large at Cornell University until 2010. His work has been translated into 16 languages, and he has published a great number of books including Islam's Predicament with Modernity (Routledge, 2009) and Islam, World Politics and Europe (Routledge, 2008). The president of Germany Roman Herzog decorated him in 1995 with the highest Medal/State Decoration for his "bridging between Islam and the West".

Charley Harper's highly stylized wildlife prints, posters, and book illustrations have captivated generations of viewers. Readers and art enthusiasts may know his work from The Giant Golden Book of Biology, Ford Times, or any of the over 50 ecological and conservation posters he created for non-profit conservation groups, nature centers, zoos, U.S. national parks and monuments, and international wildlife sanctuaries and biosphere reserves.
The Ward Museum is excited to display a large collection of Charley Harper prints as part of Charley Harper's Bird Extravaganza! Harper's colorful creations will fill the Museum's halls this summer, beginning May 23. In addition to the indoor exhibit, the Extravaganza continues outside as well. Get up close and personal with nature as you search for Harper's birds and their real-life counterparts in a bird-themed scavenger hunt. The hunt takes place on the Norman and Judy Glenn and Eugene Burkett Nature Trails alongside the Ward Museum. This whimsical exhibit is sure to be fun for the whole family.
Cardinal with Seed by Charlie Harper
Falconry, the art of hunting with birds of prey such as falcons and hawks, dates back at least 3,000 years. People throughout the world have long revered the sport as a way to successfully hunt game in the wild, and to bond with and observe these magnificent birds. In many parts of the world, falconry gained special popularity with nobility, including the Great Khans of Mongolia, the Mughals of India, and kings and queens throughout Europe. Falcons and other raptors became synonymous with nobility for centuries, and today they still hold high respect among hunters and birders alike. Visit the Welcome Gallery at the Ward Museum from April - July, 2015 for a look into the fascinating history and modern form of falconry.

For centuries hunters, trappers, and waterfowl enthusiasts have been drawn to the natural beauty and abundance of Assateague Island, a barrier island off the coasts of Maryland and Virginia, along the Atlantic Flyway. In the early 20th century the island hosted several gunning clubs, hunting lodges, and visiting sportsmen making the most of the locale. This fall—during the 50th anniversary year of the Assateague Island National Seashore—the Ward Museum's LaMay gallery will feature a look at Assateague's gunning clubs, decoy makers, trappers, and hunters—as well as the beautiful natural environment that makes this island's place in the world of waterfowling unique.

After researching the costs of picking up its own trash, the Canastota Village Board has awarded the contract to Bristol Enterprises once again for three years. The bid came in at $285,000. The next lowest bid was $348,000 by Bliss, followed by Syracuse Haulers at $613,000. Two other bidders were higher yet.
Village Administrator Larry Carpenter said Bristol is making an effort to help reduce tipping fees in the village by placing stickers on bags for residents about recycling.
"They are doing a much better job," Carpenter said.
CFR awarded paving contract
Anderson Street and a portion East Hickory and Prospect streets will be repaved for $82,500 by CFR Paving Inc. based on a recommendation by Myers and Associates. Because the bids were actually lower than last year a motion was made to redraw new specifications for other streets that need to be done.
Elan to design site plans for proposed recreation park
The board agreed to have Elan Planning and Design Inc. provide site plans in the amount of $8,500 for the considered recreation park on land within and adjacent to the Canastota Business Pak.
Mayor Todd Rouse said Elan will provide the village with a full layout. The board will then decide what they like or don't like and have any changes made before the design team submits an estimated cost.
In other news
Village trustees agreed to donate $300 each of their budget to the Kid's Day Organization.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation held a surprise inspection at the waste water treatment plant on May 13 and everything was in satisfactory condition, according to a letter signed by Fred Gillette, DEC representative.
Canastota Little League will move the batting cages they want erected at the Recreation Park behind the tennis courts. Little League asked the board if allocated money could be used for field maintenance if in fact fund-raising dollars meet other expenses.
The board will meet again June 15 at 7 p.m.

- Liu Xiang was off to a confident start next to Artur Noga of Poland, despite speculation that he was nursing an injury.
- But as he approached the first hurdle, he took a terrible tumble.
- Liu crashed to the ground, his hopes of Olympic success in ruins.
- Stunned from the fall, he struggled to get back on his feet before limping towards the tunnel to leave the stadium.
- But then he turned and, to a stadium-shaking ovation, he made his way back to the track.
- As the crowds cheered, Liu hopped the entire 110m of the race, an astonishing sight that, legend now has it, left Chinese commentators choking back tears.
- In a gesture set to be one of the enduring images from the Games, he kissed the final hurdle, leaving barely a dry eye in the house.
- And just to clinch the emotional spectacle, his fellow athletes escorted their injured comrade from the track.
