Superbly Located Apartment with Sunny Terrace Mijas, Andalusia, Spain
Additional Location Information
One of the jewels of the Costa del Sol is the beautiful little village of Mijas, which nestles comfortably in the mountainside at 428 meters above sea level; it is a superb choice for either holiday or full time living.
When you wander through the narrow cobbled streets of this Andalucian village, you can understand what has attracted foreigners to settle here over the years. Many artists and writers have made it their home, enjoying the benefits of an excellent all year round climate, without being part of the busier, more commercial coastal towns just 7 kilometres down the mountain side.
Mijas itself offers you:
Shopping with high quality jewellery, ceramic and leatherware in addition to excellent artisan and craft shops.
Excellent Restaurants – The restaurants in Mijas have deservedly built up an excellent reputation for their high quality food and friendly service.
Its Tourist Information Office situated above the Municipal Car Park in Plaza Virgen de la Peña, where information can be obtained on local events, concerts and nearby attractions.
The Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) with its beautiful marble patio with fountains, a popular choice for weddings. If you decide to marry in Mijas,we will be pleased to help you organise this happy event.
Constitution Square – a fabulous place to sit enjoying a meal or drink in one of the local restaurants and just watch the world pass by.
Shrine Virgen of the Rock: The Shrine holds the image of the patroness of Mijas, the Virgin of the Rock. Legend has it that the image of the Virgin was hidden during 5 centuries and was found in 1586 by the father of two shepherd boys who were led to the hiding place by a dove.
"El Carromato de Max": A museum of miniatures, one of the most important of its kind with works from over 50 countries.
The Casa Museo: Established in 1995 the Museum reproduces a traditional village house and informs you of local traditions.
Church Inmaculada Concepcion: Built in 1541 on the site of an ancient Moorish castle, one of the castle towers was used as a bell tower. A series of frescos of the Apostles date back to approximately 1632.
Fortress walls: La Ruta del Botanica The remnants of the fortress that used to protect the village with its pretty gardens and spectacular view point.
Malaga Wine museum – well worth a visit with its selection of wines from all over the world.
San Sebastian Street – this typical street is one of the most picturesque and photographed streets of the coast.
Mijas is quite simply beautiful! But don't take our word for it – come and see for yourself.

Orchard awaits water fine appeal verdict
Relevant offers
A Waimea Plains fruit growing firm which won an appeal against a sentence because of an error in the facts to which it had pleaded guilty, must wait until next month to find out if its $29,000 fine might be reduced.
Eden Road boysenberry and apple orchard was fined $29,100 in December last year in a case that was the first of its kind for the Nelson region. It was penalised for taking excess ground water above what it was allowed, and during a drought.
The company admitted that it pumped about 1500 cubic metres more water than it was entitled to, between March 11 and 18 last year, in breach of two consents issued under the Resource Management Act.
Tasman District Council lawyer Antoinette Besier said earlier it was the first court case of its kind to be heard in the region and therefore the sentence would set a legal precedent for future cases.
The company appealed the sentence on the basis the judge had placed "significant weight on an incorrect fact, resulting in a manifestly excessive sentence".
Justice Goddard allowed the appeal and withdrew the earlier sentence.
Justice Goddard said the basis of the appeal was that an error was made in respect of Eden Road's history of compliance, and also therefore its "level of culpability and the degree of its sense of social responsibility".
Eden Road's compliance history had not been referred to in the agreed summary of facts. The company had admitted the charges outlined in the summary.
The prosecutor referred to an alleged history of warnings and non-compliance during sentencing, saying the council had observed "excessive water use" on 17 occasions, and that the council had issued four warnings to Eden Road.
The company's lawyers did not challenge the allegations. During sentencing in the Environment Court, Judge Melanie Harland erroneously translated the prosecutor's submission about the number of occasions into Eden Road having received "17 warnings" from the council, which it had ignored, Justice Goddard said in his sentencing appeal judgment.
After the decision was released the prosecutor filed a memorandum addressing her error.
Justice Goddard said Judge Harland's approach to sentencing was "careful and assiduous".
Last Friday's resentencing opened the way to present refreshed arguments. The prosecution submitted an appropriate starting point for a fine of $35,000 discounted to $26,000 or $13,000 for each offence said to be the result of a cavalier approach by the defendant. The defence sought a fine closer to $5000. It maintained that the RMA breaches were unintentional.
Ms Besier said during last week's resentencing hearing that there was no evidence to say the offending was deliberate, but there was no adequate explanation for it either.
She described the four incorrect readings supplied to the council as displaying a "high degree of carelessness". She stood by earlier submissions that the company's attitude had been cavalier, and that the offending was more serious because of the drought conditions at the time.
Defence lawyer Graeme Downing said the offences occurred over a short period and restrictions on water take were lifted the following week, after significant rain.
"The defendant acknowledged the error and wrong-doing, and faced up to the responsibility," Mr Downing said.
He said Eden Road had put in place remedial steps to minimise future risk.
"The suggestion of a high degree of carelessness is not supported by evidence. They acknowledge there was a lack of care in the manual [recording] system but that doesn't transpose to a high degree of carelessness towards their environmental obligations," Mr Downing said.
Judge Harland reserved her decision. A sentence is to be re-issued on April 16.

So, the June Pub Crawl -- we host a Monthly Pub Crawl with the Midtown and Montrose group -- will be a trek through Upper Kirby, starting on Shepherd and ending on Kirby via Richmond Ave! If you're new to the group or anxious about finding us at a crawl, then Stag's Head will make it very easy to find the group. As you walk in to Stags, go to the far back left corner and we will be standing in that area near a set of tables. Stag's Head also has good bar food if you haven't eaten.
If you are having trouble finding the group, you can call or text me at[masked]-3205.
At the next stop, people will have a choice of which venue to go to depending on what you like, but we all may not be able to go to the same place due to our size.
While it is summer, I would recommend casual 'club' attire if you plan to do the dancing portion starting at 12:30 am.
8-9:15 pm Stag's Head -- 2018 Portsmouth
9:15-10:15 pm Davenport Lounge -- 2115 Richmond OR McElroy's Irish Bar -- Your choice
10:15-11:30 pm -- OTC Patio Bar -- 3212 Kirby Dr
11:30-12:30 am -- Hendrick's Pub -- 3320 Kirby Dr
12:30 am-2 am Roark
I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.

"I (we) LOVED our stay at Claudia's Surf City. This is our second time staying and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The house is adorable and the views are breathtaking. It has something to offer everyone. Truly - heaps of books, a great record collection, hammocks, bocce, insane views, best outdoor shower ever - what more could we want? The wrap around porch was perfect for eating, relaxing, and sorting whatever rocks/shells the kids collected that day. I cannot say enough about the outdoor shower. Loved it so much I showered during a rain storm. The location of the house is close to perfect. Our family (twins-4, daughter-5 and a big super mutt) spent most of our time walking to town and to the beach. Claudia was so great with us and was more than accommodating. Thank you for providing a such a wonderful getaway home!"Guest: Christina L. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 27, 2015View listing
"This house was the perfect place for our family to spend our vacation. We have been renting from Nancy and Tony for the past four years, and we cannot wait to come back again next year! The house was spacious and clean, and it had everything we needed to make this rental feel like home. All of us enjoyed using the ping pong and foosball tables, watching DVDs together at the end of the day, and sitting outside on the large deck and seeing the water. The best part was that the beach was only a few minutes' walk from the house. We had a great time staying here!"Guest: Marian N. Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 17, 2015View listing
"After reading some of the reviews I decides to rent this beautiful house for 17 days in August 2014. My husband was attending Brown for a masters program. The commute for him was good and the location, so close to Newport and beaches for my teenaged girls and I was excellent. The house has the most beautiful views from every opening!! The art work in the home is museum quality. Beds were comfy,kitchen well stocked, nothing is needed. Dottie is the manager/house keeper and is delightful! Carol, the owner, was so easy to deal with. She is a very nice person. We want to come back, did not want to leave. How lucky we were to be there for so long."Guest: carmela m.

The first unbiased audience and a true test of the film's ability to entertain. Read more here
We're hoping for a good turn out and it seems like we've got some support from the engineering department and Flying Club at the University of Texas.
So, if you happen to be in Austin come to the Alamo Drifthouse Ritz theatre at 7:30pm and watch the film. I understand that the Drifthouse allows you to eat and drink while you watch a movie.
And, as an aside, I was heartened to see that last night at the Ritz they were showing The Thing which features my husband Jonathan Lloyd Walker as Colin, the British radio operator. A good coincidence I think.

An absolute MUST if you are staying longer than two days at a Disney resort. Service was outstanding and we loved having extra water, sports drink, and beer at our disposable.
Great service. Will use again. High recommendations! Should have used them years ago! Only problem we did not order enough water. Florida H20 does not taste very good. Will order extra water next trip. Thanks Garden Grocer!
Our grocery arrived at the resort about 30 minutes before we did. The service was excellent and bell services brought our groceries up with the rest of our bags.

Hi my name is Ashleigh,
I'm 21 and I'm a self-taught jewellery maker from the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne Australia.
When I'm not making jewellery you can find me travelling the world, I enjoy bungy jumping (7 times and counting) horse riding and lazy beach days.
I've been making jewellery since I was 15 and turned it into business shortly after,
I currently run Robjant Couture alongside my full time job in the Travel Industry and find that the fusion of my two passions inspires me even more.
I enjoy making custom orders and the joy that a person has getting exactly what they want or hopefully something that is above their expectations.

Flinscher Family Launched on Myfonts
Couldn't resist that alliterative title!
The Flinscher family contains twenty display typefaces, in weights that vary from light to black, and widths that extend from condensed to expanded. The family's design inspiration traces its roots to the early portion of the twentieth century. In essence, it is a calligraphic script typeface family with blackletter influences. The letter forms are decorative and distinctive, yet clear and easy to read, and in use set up a regular rhythm that leads the eye from character to character. The Flinscher typefaces are well suited to design work that needs to combine formality with fun. Just the thing for a certificate or a book cover!
Why not experiment with it today?

This idea for a display Roman with some areas simply not quite there – or an application of the oft quoted idea that areas of 'white space' add something to a piece of design work.

1843-O $2 1/2 Small Date, Crosslet 4 MS64 PCGS. Variety 2....
1843-O Quarter Eagle, Small Date
1843-O $2 1/2 Small Date, Crosslet 4 MS64 PCGS. Variety 2.
High date, mintmark closer to branch than claws, lapped stars. The
quarter eagles struck in New Orleans in 1843 were produced in an
enormous amount for the time and denomination, more than 288,000
coins in two main types, Small Date (Crosslet 4) and Large Date
(Plain 4). The 1843-O Small Date is far more abundant than the
1843-O Large Date, which is among the rarest O-mint Liberty quarter
eagles. The 1843-O Small Date, however, is quite elusive in Mint
State grades, particularly MS62 and higher. The present near-Gem
corresponds to the lapped stars variety Winter mentions but the
date is high rather than low, and the mintmark is repunched rather
than strike-doubled; stars 6-10 become progressively weaker from
lapping or die-polishing, with star 10 only partially showing one
point. A series of small die lumps appears on Liberty's neck. This
near-Gem offers thick mint frost over surfaces that are far
better-preserved than normally seen for the issue. Pleasing
orange-gold color and a decent strike complete the eye appeal.
Population: 6 in 64, 0 finer (11/12).(Registry

Fast and accurate are the intentions for rodeo barrel racer Rachael Third when she competes at the International Rodeo champs in Hamilton this month.
With just three seasons under her belt and working her way through her fourth, the 29-year-old Bulls soil scientist is hoping for a top four finish and a personal best time.
Miss Third comes from a family of top riders and has shown exceptional ability.
She competes in the open division, which is unusual for someone with as short a rodeo career as hers, and sits third on the national rodeo standings board in barrel racing.
Miss Third's horse Comanche should get credited for much of the success, she said, as he had been a stable influence on the pair's achievements.
"He has been involved in rodeo a lot longer than I have and that has been great for me to learn the sport."
The 12-year-old part quarter horse was used as a pickup horse in rodeo, giving a mount to riders who had just finished their bucking session, but it will be the first time the horse and rider has competed under lights and indoors.
"I'm not sure how he will react as it's a lot noisier and the crowd a lot closer than in outdoor events, but it will be a great experience."
Training consists of working in the paddocks surrounding her parents' property on Raumai Rd but there is no hard and fast racing going on, just response exercises and cue work.
"He knows what to do when he gets in the ring."
Only women can compete in barrel racing and boys up to the age of 14.
It's the only event in rodeo that allows women.
To date there have been no injuries, other than the odd spill and bruised ego, but if the rider loses focus and crashes into the padded steel barrels it can be very painful.
"It's not something you want to do too often."
Miss Third said rodeo could be a costly sport if you didn't win prizemoney, with a lot of travel and entry fees eating into the pocket.
"But when you win, the prizemoney can be quite good, especially if there are a lot of people in the division."

Understanding the 'unsexy' side of art
In the lead up to the 2014 Tasmanian state election there's been a lot of talk and discussion about health, education and jobs within the state, but according to arts consultant Kylie Eastley not enough focus on the creative industries.

"The industry is not just the end result. It's not just the play, the punter goes to that they pay their 30 or 50 dollars and they have a glass of wine and everyone looks like they're having a great time," she says.
This is just the facade or face of the industry and Ms Eastley wants people to understand how much work goes in behind the scenes.
"The industry is all the back end of that, it's the unsexy bits and I think we need to remember that.
"We need to support the individuals and organisations who are actually creating the foundation for those amazing things to happen that we experience," says Ms Eastley.
According to Ms Eastley the benefits of the arts are more closely linked to health and well being than people give credit for.
"We know if people participate, they feel better, they contribute back to their community so I would suggest that the arts integral to all those areas.
"We also know that not everybody at school is academic, we all learn differently so some people will learn through the arts," she says.
During a forum in Hobart recently which involved politicians and interested arts parties Ms Eastley says while there were some great discussions and ideas, it wasn't always focused in the correct areas.
"There was a lot of focus on money as in numbers, not really the nitty gritty of how that's going to happen," she says.
From Ms Eastley's point of view, money isn't always the best way to help out.
"A lot of artists don't want cash, what they want are the skills the practical, on the ground skills, someone to work with them for a period of time to get them over a hump.
"Whether that hump is around the marketing, about their arts practice, around a whole heap of things," she says.
There's a number of larger and very successful faces of art in Tasmania at the moment including Museum of New Art (MONA) and Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) which are having huge success but Ms Eastley says they all need to start somewhere.
"I think those big superstars are fantastic but it's a very dangerous things to not support the back end of that.
"They are starting somewhere, they are living in regional Tasmania they are working hard at what they do.
"You can't have one without the other, and if we want a healthy big industry we've got to support the small stuff," she says.

ESPN analyst Chris Mortensen reported the San Francisco 49ers had talks with quarterback Brady Quinn before he re-signed with the New York Jets on Monday.
This means two things: The 49ers are still open-minded about the position and intelligence on the Seattle Seahawks is appreciated.
The 49ers looked at former Arizona Cardinals starter John Skelton last week. Colt McCoy is the backup and preseason standout B.J. Daniels is the 49ers' third quarterback.
Quinn was recently cut by Seattle and San Francisco plays the Seahawks on Sunday. An NFC West subplot this season: Both teams will take a look at players the other discarded.
According to Mortensen, though, Quinn was only interested in a guaranteed deal with the 49ers for the rest of the year. The need is not that great, so talks didn't go anywhere.
The 49ers will likely continue to look at quarterbacks and, of course, still be open for business when it comes to former Seahawks.

MISSING MAS FLIGHT: Search for MH370 widened as mystery deepens
Publication Date : 10-03-2014
Malaysia has widened its search for a missing jetliner following revelations that it might have attempted to turn back, as Prime Minister Najib Razak ordered a tightening of airport security measures in response to security lapses that allowed at least two impostors to board the ill-fated flight.
Two men - Luigi Maraldi, an Italian, and Christian Kozel, an Austrian - have come forward to say that they were not on the Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight despite their names appearing on the manifest. Their passports had been reported as lost in Thailand up to two years ago - which international police agency Interpol confirmed last night.
However, it was unclear how many passengers on board the missing plane were travelling with false identification. Malaysia's Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein initially said at least four names on the passenger list were "suspect".
He subsequently told the BBC that there were only two suspect names. But the Reuters news agency, citing sources, said two other travellers with European passports were being investigated.
Separately, China's official Xinhua news agency reported that a Chinese national, whose passport number was listed on the flight manifest, was actually in China. The name associated with the passport was also wrong.
Amid the confusion, Malaysian officials said they were scrutinising closed-circuit TV footage and questioning immigration officers.
The emergence of these suspicious travellers has spurred growing talk of terrorism as a possible cause for the disappearance of the plane, which was bound for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur International Airport with 239 passengers and crew on board.
A team from the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation is headed for Malaysia to assist with the probe.
"We will review all security protocols and we will enhance them if necessary, because we still do not know the cause of the incident," said Datuk Seri Najib.
Some new clues emerged yesterday about the final minutes of Flight MH370, but they served only to deepen the mystery. Malaysian officials said a review of its military radar records showed the plane may have turned back on the same flight path.
But officials were baffled by the lack of a distress signal from the plane, as pilots are required to inform air traffic control if they intend to deviate from the course.
The New York Times reported that the Pentagon, using "preliminary surveillance data" from a system that scans the globe for the flashes of explosions, found no evidence of one in the area where the plane disappeared.
Meanwhile, a growing multi- nation search effort has had little luck in finding the plane, which disappeared from radar 50 minutes after take- off on Saturday.
Late last night, Vietnamese officials said one of their planes had spotted an object that could belong to the missing plane, but added that it was too dark for them to be certain. Oil slicks and debris found near the plane's last known location between north- eastern Malaysia and southern Vietnam were not conclusive either.
Officials said they have widened the scope of the search from 20 to 50 nautical miles, and that their priority at the moment was to locate the missing aircraft.
The massive multi-nation search effort now includes 24 aircraft and 40 ships from at least seven countries, including Singapore, which has sent more ships and aircraft.
Two C-130 military transport planes, a naval helicopter, two warships and a submarine support and rescue vessel are involved in the search, Singapore's Defence Ministry said in a statement.
The lack of answers caused tension between family members of the missing Chinese passengers and airline officials to hit boiling point in Beijing yesterday. China had 153 nationals on board the plane. At a heated meeting with MAS officials, more than 100 family members of those missing criticised the airline's handling of the crisis and signed a petition demanding to know the "truth".

Restoration experts reveal the REAL face of murdered Renaissance princess beneath layers of paint - added by Victorians to make her face conform to their ideal of beauty
A Pennsylvania museum has solved the mystery of a Renaissance portrait in an investigation that spans hundreds of years, layers of paint and the murdered daughter of an Italian duke.
Among the works featured in the Carnegie Museum's exhibit Faked, Forgotten, Found is a portrait of Isabella de'Medici, the spirited favorite daughter of Cosimo de'Medici, the first Grand Duke of Florence, whose face hadn't seen the light of day in almost 200 years.
Isabella Medici's strong nose, steely stare and high forehead plucked of hair, as was the fashion in 1570, was hidden beneath layers of paint applied by a Victorian artist to render the work more saleable to a 19th century buyer.
What lies beneath: A portrait purported to be Eleanor of Toledo (left) was actually a painted-over portrait of her scandalous daughter, Isabella de'Medici (right, after restoration)
True identity: X-ray imaging revealed a much more interesting portrait beneath the one that had been painted over it in the mid-1800s
The result was a pretty, bland face with rosy cheeks and gently smiling lips that Louise Lippincott, curator of fine arts at the museum, thought was a possible fake.
Before deciding to deaccession the work, Lippincott brought the painting, which was purportedly of Eleanor of Toledo, a famed beauty and the mother of Isabella de'Medici, to the Pittsburgh museum's conservator Ellen Baxter to confirm her suspicions.
Baxter was immediately intrigued. The woman's clothing was spot-on, with its high lace collar and richly patterned bodice, but her face was all wrong, 'like a Victorian cookie tin box lid,' Baxter told Carnegie Magazine.
After finding the stamp of Francis Needham on the back of the work, Baxter did some research and found that Needham worked in National Portrait Gallery in London in the mid-1800s transferring paintings from wood panels to canvas mounts.
Paintings on canvas usually have large cracks, but the ones on the Eleanor of Toledo portait were much smaller than would be expected.
Baxter devised a theory that the work had been transferred from a wood panel onto canvas and then repainted so that the woman's face was more pleasing to the Victorian art-buyer, some 300 years after it had been painted.
Hidden away: The portrait had been in storage at the Carnegie Museum of Art, and curator Louise Lippincott was considering deaccessioning it
Expert: Ellen Baxter worked to remove the newer paint, which revealed a face with a paler complexion, longer nose and a high, plucked hairline
She drove to the Monroeville Imaging Center and queued with patients sent for X-rays to see what lay beneath the serene face on the surface of the canvas.
It revealed that new layers of paint were covering the woman's face and her hand.
Baxter painstakingly removed layers of the newer paint, and slowly the original painting revealed a sterner face with a longer nose, jowls and a high plucked hairline.
The final breakthrough came when Lippincott found a copy of the painting in a Florentine art history book.
The portrait had been commissioned by the Medici family, sent to Vienna in the 1580s - and was still there. What's more, the portrait was not of Eleanor of Toledo, but her daughter, the scandalous Isabella de'Medici, a beauty who was the apple of her father's eye but doomed to meet a violent end.
Isabella de'Medici was raised in splendor in the Palazzo Pitti and Palazzo Vecchio in Florence as well as the family country estate, the Villa di Castello, where they would spend summers.
She spoke several languages and was known to be a lively and witty conversationalist and a great beauty.

Painstaking: Chief conservator Ellen Baxter restores the portrait of Isabella de Cosimo I de'Medici
Highly skilled: Ellen Baxter's skills are a curious combination of the artistic and the scientific
Changed aesthetic: Isabella de'Medici's wrist had been thinned and her complexion warmed by a Victorian artist
She was married at 16 to Paolo d'Orsini, a stratgic marriage devised by her father to maintain a relationship with the powerful Rome-based Orsini family.
Unusually, though, Isabella remained in her father's home and her new husband returned to Rome the day after the wedding.
She preferred to establish herself in Florence, where she held intellectual salons and was a patron of the arts, threw extravagant parties and allegedly had extramarital love affairs.
It was this last transgression that led to her demise.
After her beloved father died in 1574, her husband and her brother conspired to kill her after rumor reached Orsini in Rome that his wife had taken his own cousin as a lover.
Isabella de'Medici was most likely strangled to death by her husband in 1576 at the Medici villa in Cerreto Guidi during a hunting holiday. Her brother's wife and Isabella's close friend, Leonora, died in similar circumstances just days earlier.
Lippincott and Baxter believe that
Isabella de'Medici posed for the portait, in which she is holding an urn
similar to the one Mary Magdalane used to wash Jesus's feet, in an
attempt to restore her reputation.
'This is literally the bad girl seeing the light,' Lippincott told Carnegie Magazine.
The painter of the unsigned portrait is unknown, but it has long been attributed to Allesandro Allori.
Partially restored: A portrait of George Neville, Lord Bergavenny, may actually be from the workshop of Hans Holbein the Younger that was clumsily restored in the 1920s
The original: Carnegie Museum of Art's now authenticated 'Madonna and Child with Angel' by Francesco Francia (1495-1500)
Another work the museum was unsure about is a portrait of George Nevill, Lord Bergavenny (1469-1535).
Research and infrared imaging suggested that the Carnegie Museum owns a 16th century painting that originated in the workshop of Hans Holbein the Younger, known as one of the greatest portraitists of the 16th century.
The picture is now in a partially cleaned state so that visitors can see how Baxter and her team work to restore paintings.
Isabella de'Medici is joined in the exhibition by several other works, including the original Madonna and Child with Angel by Francesco Francia.
A copy of the work, long believed to be the original hangs in the National Gallery in London.
Lippincott told the Carnegie Magazine that the copy was commissioned to prevent a 19th-century inheritance dispute, and that both sides of the family believed they were in possession of the original.
The results of this artistic sleuthing and more will be on display in the Faked, Forgotten, Found exhibit from June 28.

C-Reactive Protein as a Clinically Useful Biomarker of Metastasis of Renal Cell Carcinoma
ABSTRACT C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase reactant that can increase dramatically in response to a variety of pathologic states. Elevated pre- and postoperative CRP levels have been associated with an increased tumor burden and metastasis in kidney cancer. We report on a case that serves to highlight a potentially novel use for CRP monitoring in the postoperative management of renal cell carcinoma. Recently, we treated a patient who presented with a localized renal cell carcinoma and an elevated preoperative CRP level. Surgical pathology demonstrated negative surgical margins and absence of nodal metastasis. Postoperatively, the patient's serum CRP levels remained relatively low, consistent with his continued negative staging on CT scans. However, at 6 months postoperatively, the patient's CRP level increased 13-fold. His subsequent CT scan revealed "multiple pulmonary nodules consistent with progression of metastatic disease." This case demonstrates the potential for monitoring CRP in addition to, or instead of, standard restaging imaging.
Article: Non-Malignant Drivers of Elevated C-Reactive Protein Levels Differ in Patients With and Without a History of Cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Elevations in C-reactive protein (CRP) levels predict metastasis and mortality in a number of malignancies. However, the impact of non-malignant factors on CRP levels in patients with cancer remains unknown. To address this issue, we conducted an investigation of the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP) cohort. NSHAP participants with a history of malignancy were included. The 222-participant cohort was subdivided by CRP levels into low-risk (CRP <3 mg/L) and high-risk (CRP ≥3 mg/L) groups. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses examined the impact of variables spanning social factors, demographic characteristics, and past medical history on high-risk CRP levels. Of the cohort, 42.3% exhibited high-risk CRP levels. These participants were more likely to be unmarried (p = 0.013), to be a racial/ethnic minority (p = 0.012), to not use HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) medications (p = 0.032), and to be obese (p = 0.002). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, these variables were also significant predictors of high-risk CRP levels. For example, compared with participants who had a normal body mass index (BMI), obese participants were nearly 5 times more likely (odds ratio 5.725; 95% CI 1.848, 12.079; p = 0.001) to exhibit high-risk CRP levels. CRP remains an important prognostic biomarker in the management of known malignancies. However, patients with a known history of cancer can also exhibit elevated CRP levels due to non-malignant factors such as race and ethnicity, statin use, marital status, and BMI. Consequently, further studies are needed to assess the predictive potential of CRP levels for cancer prognostication in the face of these social and biologic variables before use of this biomarker is widely adopted in clinical practice.Molecular Diagnosis & Therapy 10/2010; 14(5):295-303.

Article: Preoperative C-Reactive Protein Level Adjusted for Comorbidities and Lifestyle Factors Predicts Overall Mortality in Localized Renal Cell Carcinoma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute phase reactant, is a non-specific marker of inflammation. Elevations in CRP levels are linked with trauma, infection, autoimmune disease, malignancy, and lifestyle factors, such as smoking and obesity. Previously, we noted a significant association between the preoperative CRP level, 1-year relapse-free survival, and 1-year overall relative survival in patients with localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This study sought to determine what effect, if any, lifestyle factors have on the prognostic value of preoperative CRP level for overall survival in individuals with localized RCC. 257 patients with localized RCC who underwent nephrectomy were included in the study. Patients were enrolled between November 2006 and February 2010. The impact of tumor characteristics, lifestyle factors, and preoperative CRP level on overall survival was assessed through univariate and multivariate analyses. During the study, 15.2% of patients died. Univariate analysis found that tumor size (p < 0.001), tumor stage (p < 0.001), Fuhrman nuclear grade (p < 0.001), Charlson Comorbidity Index score (p < 0.001), smoking status (p = 0.038), and preoperative CRP level (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with overall survival. Only the preoperative CRP level (odds ratio 1.035; 95% confidence interval 1.007, 1.064) remained significantly associated with overall survival upon multivariate analysis. Prognostic tools serve an important role in cancer management. Thirty percent of patients with localized RCC ultimately develop metastatic disease despite having potentially curative nephrectomy. Previous research has identified the preoperative CRP level as a significant predictor of overall survival in patients with localized RCC. This study demonstrated that the CRP level remained a robust predictive tool when the analysis was controlled for lifestyle factors, including smoking and obesity. Consequently, clinicians should consider taking preoperative CRP levels into account when treating patients with localized RCC.Molecular Diagnosis & Therapy 07/2011; 15(4):229-34.

Article: Intratumor C-Reactive Protein as a Biomarker of Prognosis in Localized Renal Cell Carcinoma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Serum C-reactive protein has been shown to have prognostic value in localized and metastatic renal cell carcinoma. However, the prognostic value of intratumor C-reactive protein remains unknown. A total of 95 patients with resected, clinically localized (T1-T4N0M0) clear cell renal cell carcinoma were followed postoperatively. Intratumor C-reactive protein expression was assessed in surgical specimens using immunohistochemical analysis. Patients were categorized by staining intensity into low risk (staining 0 to 1), intermediate risk (staining 2) and high risk (staining 3) groups. Kaplan-Meier and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to examine overall survival across patient and disease characteristics. Variables examined in multivariate Cox regression analysis included T stage, Fuhrman nuclear grade, tumor size, preoperative serum C-reactive protein and intratumor C-reactive protein staining. Followup extended up to 46 months with a mean (SD) of 29.8 (11.0) months. Twelve patients (12.6%) died during followup. Of all tumors 49.5%, 25.3% and 25.3% were graded by intratumor C-reactive protein staining as low risk (0 to 1), intermediate risk (2) and high risk (3), respectively. After controlling for variables significant on univariate analysis, patients in the high risk (3) group experienced a 27-fold increased risk of overall mortality compared to those in the low risk (0-1) group (HR 27.767, 95% CI 1.488-518.182). After adjusting for tumor staining, preoperative serum C-reactive protein was not a significant predictor of overall survival (p = 0.741). Intratumor C-reactive protein may be a robust biomarker of prognosis in patients with localized renal cell carcinoma.The Journal of urology 08/2011; 186(4):1213-7.

Two or three trips a year the past 20 years, 2- days each, 7-12 miles a day
I am planning a few trips this summer if any one wants to join me. I am available this weekend Friday July 20 to Sunday July 22 2012. I was interested in doing a trip from Edison lake over Bear Ridge, camping for two nights on the JMT near the lake Italy trail and then day hiking up to Seldon pass. I am planning a 5- 7 day trip for the week of August 19 covering the JMT from Woods creek to Dusy Basin. Later I would like to also do a 4 day trip from Lake Mary near Mammoth Lakes to Silver pass and back. My secret agenda is to do sections of the JMT that I have not done.

Fierce Fashion Rules at Bethesda Row
Despite fears of ominous weather that threatened to move the show inside, models took to an outdoor catwalk showcasing both summer and fall fashions from shops such as Urban Chic, Tickled Pink, J. McLaughlin, Luna, Wear It Well, City Sports, Ginger, and Lucy.
The audience was happy to see summer trends such as bright colors, chic sheaths, and fashionable shorts.
Tweeds, muted colors, and simple silhouettes offered a preview of the decidedly more somber fall '09 collections, which looked stylish and ladylike—but also slightly boring.
The event—the highlight of three days of trunk shows, book signings, and movie screenings—featured special guest Christian Siriano, an Annapolis native and winner of Project Runway season four.
The runway show thrilled hundreds of onlookers, an interesting mixture of guests who had come for the event and families just strolling by. There were both stylishly attired twenty- and thirtysomethings as well as excited tweens and teens hoping, it seemed, for a chance to walk the catwalk and catch a glimpse of Siriano.
A diminutive Siriano (so tiny! so fierce!) sat front row at the show, but when he was introduced to the crowd by emcee Pamela Sorensen, he merely waved. After the show, he was promptly ushered to a table at the nearby restaurant Redwood, where he dined with his mother before (we're told) heading back to Annapolis for the evening.
No, Siriano wouldn't be granting interviews, speaking with fans, taking photographs, or signing autographs for the many tween girls eagerly clustered around the runway. His publicist and Front Row's coordinator, Barbara Martin, excused his diva-like behavior with polite excuses—Siriano was feeling sick, he was tired, and he had done his (minimal) mingling before the show.
It was the disappointment of the evening—the hometown-boy-made-big practically shunning his fan base.
Still, the crowd enjoyed the runway event, many opting to sip specially made "Fierce" cocktails at Redwood's patio.

Barnes & Noble Nook HD and Nook HD+ tablets out now in UK
Barnes & Noble has released its 7-inch and 9-inch tablets in the UK - the Nook HD and Nook HD+ respectively. Available from both Nook.co.uk and a number of high street retailers, the tablet devices go head-to-head against similar efforts from Amazon, Google and, of course, Apple.
What the Nook HD devices have as an advantage, however, is price. While the Nook HD is comparatively priced when compared to some peers - starting at £159 - it comes with higher spec list than most, including a dual-core 1.3GHz processor, and a 1440 x 900 HD LCD touchscreen (243ppi). The Kindle Fire HD, for example, has a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution.
Read: Barnes & Noble Nook HD 7-inch tablet pictures and hands-on
The Nook HD+ on the other hand doesn't have many peers in its price range - starting at £229 - that can match its 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution (256ppi). There's the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 in the States, but that's not coming to the UK any time soon.
Both tablets have access to the Barnes & Noble content portals, including Nook Newsstand for magazine and newspaper subscriptions, Nook Apps, Nook Books (naturally) and Nook Channels, which Barnes & Noble describes as "a new shopping experience".
Read: Barnes & Noble Nook HD+ 9-inch tablet pictures and hands-on
Each of them also features Nook Profiles, allowing you to set up completely different profiles and log-ins for each member of the family, so that they can see only the content they are interested in. It's especially useful when policing what children have access to.
The 7-inch Nook HD is available both online and from John Lewis, Argos, Asda, Dixons, Sainsbury, Waitrose, Blackwell's and Foyles. It comes in two colours, Snow (white) and Smoke (grey) and costs £159 for an 8GB model, £189 for the 16GB version.
The 9-inch Nook HD+ is available in just the one colour, Slate (also grey), and from the same vendors. It costs £229 for the 16GB tablet, £269 for the 32GB edition.
