TC3 Men's Basketball Beats Corning 60-39January 16, 2013
Fewest Points Allowed Since 1981
DRYDEN, N.Y. – The Tompkins Cortland Community College men's basketball team set a new school record Tuesday, holding Corning Community College to just 39 points in a 60-39 win. The defensive effort was the program's best since the NJCAA's adoption of the shot clock and the three-point line era, which both date back to the mid 1980s, and the second best ever for TC3. The home win moves TC3 to 4-0 in the MSAC and 12-3 overall, and ties the school record for consecutive wins with eight. Corning drops to 1-2 in conference and 4-11 overall.
The first half saw nine lead changes, with Corning never ahead by more than two points. TC3's biggest lead of the half was eight points before settling in at a 30-25 lead at the break. In the second half the lead continued to grow as Corning connected on just 26% of its shots in the final 20 minutes.
Tyseem Lyles (Health Professions H.S./Brooklyn) led a balanced TC3 attack with 15 points while also pulling down six rebounds, six steals, and four assists. Jaanai Beckford (Northstar Christian Academy/Yonkers) poured in ten points to go with four rebounds, four assists, and two steals. Brandon Reed (Corcoran H.S./Syracuse) narrowly missed a double-double with nine points, eight rebounds, three steals, and two assists, and Caleb Wright (Cortland H.S./Cortland) had eight points, four rebounds, three assists, and three steals.
TC3 plays at Onondaga Community College Saturday.

Redington Palix River Wader - Men's
? Share a...
Grant Kates
Great for novice fishermen
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Height: 5' 9"Weight: 150 lbsSize Purchased: Small
I bought these since they were at a nice price point - it seemed the way to go since i was unsure on how I would catch on to fly fishing. I am satisfied with my decision and would recommend these to anyone that is entertaining the idea of getting into fly fishing. I will definitely wear these until they get a hole or something but for now they fit my needs perfectly.
Size chart is spot on. 5'9" 150lbs 32" waist 30" inseam 38" chest.
Bought Small.
leaky boot/poor warranty
After less than one year and light usage the left boot of my palix river waders are leaking. When I checked out the warranty policy of Remington I have to pay to return the defective waders and include a $30.00 check. I should not have to pay to replace these defective waders. 5Thumbs down. Don't buy these Remington waders
Ethan P Fischer
A gift for you
So here it is; First, purchase the Palix River Waders. Second, send in a form to get a $25 VISA gift card from Redington. Follow the instructions on the image or contact our gear heads for more info. Limited time offer though, so get on it.
Colin Clancy
A great first pair of waders.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'm just getting into fly-fishing and didn't want to spend a ton on a pair of waders. I bought these and have used them just about every day this summer without a problem. They fit well and are comfortable, and I really like have the multiple pockets. I don't even wear a vest - just throw my fly box and tippet into the front pocket and head out.
Lexi Dowdall
....waders make you look kewl.
Dan Be
Affordable fun
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I recently purchased a pair of these waders. So far I have only used them a few times but I have no complaints so far. For the price these might just be some of the best low budget waders you can get. They don't seem too hot, however I have not used them in temperatures above 85 degrees. They seem light enough to be comfortable on hotter days, however I typically am fishing in light weight pants and chacos when it gets really hot.
The materials feel higher quality than I would have expected from a pair of waders this affordable. I love the having the stash pockets and the hand warmer pockets when temps drop.
If you tend to bushwack a lot to get to your favorite holes or if you fish as often as you can I would recommend getting a more expensive wader. The more expensive waders do seem to have better seams and are typically made of more durable materials. However these waders work exceptionally well for the angler who might only hit the river 50 days a season.
I am 5'10" with a size 9.5 shoe. The medium fits perfectly and offers a little room for layering without being baggy or loose fitting.
Ok, but not for serious anglers
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I fish over 100 days a year in the PNW for salmon, trout and steelhead. Since our year-round season varies from hot summer evenings on the trout streams to stormy and snowy winter mornings on big steelhead rivers, good all -around breathable waders are essential.
I'm usually a huge fan of Redington products. Unfortunately after putting in a year with these waders I'm wishing I'd sprung for something higher end.
I would have expected and been fine with a few puncture holes from bushwacking by now, but what keeps failing and leaking on me are the seams where the neoprene booties meet the legs. A good coat of sealant fixes it for a few weeks, but then they start leaking again.
If you fish a few times a summer on sunny trout streams, these should work fine for you.
If you fish every chance you get in conditions where a leak can ruin your day or waste hundreds of miles of driving, spend a little extra on something better.
Lastly, I'm 6'1" 175 and the medium long fits great.
Robert L
Keep dry out there
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs large
These waders are the goods, great value for an inexpensive pair of waders, I went with the XXL based off of the manufacturers size chart estimate for the feet, but found that the feet were too large, I am 6'6 and wear a size 14 shoe so the XXL must be for Basketball players or the like, I did find that the torso was also very roomy, but I wore my backpack under the waders in case of any falls and they worked great. If you are tall and in good shape go with the XL rather then the XXL unless your sporting gigantic feet or a belly, would definitely recommend
Max Dickerson
My first impression after receiving these was, "Man, these are some slick lookin waders." I had a bit of buyers remorse initially after I saw Redington's manufacture warranty was only a year, but was reminded the fact that if anything should happen to these bad boys (water leaks, etc) at any point in time Backcountry will replace them. And I love that. Keeps me coming back.
The fit and finish of this product is quality. The material is excellent and they provide all of the necessary features a wader should. Can't wait to get these in the river and slay some trout. There is also a high chance of getting some hot chicks numbers while sporting these beauties in the river. Lookin forward to that as well. May just wear them downtown. I'll give an update on how these hold up and tweak this review.
Good and water-tight
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I stood out in the cold for an entire day in waist deep water, and I can honestly say that I never got wet, and never got cold. Even the neoprene booties were water tight in non-waterproof boots. Disadvantage, however, is that there is not enough pockets. The few that there are are easily accessible, but the waders could definitely use more. Also, as a taller individual, I found the maneuverability for bending over and bringing knees up high for a big step is not necessarily the most forgiving.
Chris jenney
Not Bad / Amazing Price
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I dont see how you could go wrong with these waders. Most of the summer Im wet wading around not using waders at all, but when the cool weather hits, these things rock. They arent the most breathable, but as stated before, i wet wade most of the summer and really only wear these when I have to. They keep me dry, have ample storage and fit well. Im 5'8'' 165 and the medium is perfect. (size 10 foot)
Clint Lunsford
Actually quite good.
These are good waders! They are comfortable, the suspenders are very clever with the opposing buckles and they breath really well. All for a great price.
Honestly the only thing keeping them from a 5 star rating is the color. I wish they were darker and not so khaki.
so, an update to this one. About a year and a half in and these baby's are leaking something horrible. There's a worn spot on the heal that resulted in a hole on the left foot and when I'm in up to my waist the crotch leaks as well. (shrinkage like whoa).
So maybe get these until you can afford something better, or just save your pennies.
Mark Parrett
Palix River Waders fit well, worked well
Mark Parrett
Great quality at the right price
I bought the Redington Palix River Wader expecting them to be a bit janky due to the low price point, but I'm new to the sport and figured they would suffice for now. They are actually really nice - to my surprise. Given my level of experience, I'll just comment on fit. I'm 5'11" and 180 lbs. I usually wear a 33x30 jean. The mediums were right for me, though I was at the very upper end of medium in order to maintain mobility. If you have an inseam any larger than 30", go for the large. I wear an 11 shoe and there was no issues with the booties, despite the sizing chart saying I needed a larger size.
Casey Glaubman
just what i needed
i really like these waders. they don't have a ton of flash but they're really nice and durable and quite comfortable.
the fit on them is just right for me. i'm about 6'2" and 170 lbs and the size large fits me just perfect.
Good wader, Great price!
I bought these for my 12 year old son and like any little boy he has put a beating on them. He has fished them through winter and spring now and I couldn't be happier with their durability. Redington has done a great job at putting out a high quality wader for a great price!

WASHINGTON, D.C. No one doubts dire things will happen, and fast, if the government runs out of borrowing authority in coming weeks. But late Social Security checks need not be among them.
President Barack Obamas blanket statement on Monday that Social Security checks and veterans benefits will be delayed if Congress doesnt raise the debt limit masked the options open to the government if it is forced to operate in a severe fiscal pinch.
There are many, although none pleasant. If Washington, D.C., cant keep borrowing to ensure all its bills are paid, it will need to decide which expenses to cover and which might have to slide until a deal comes together.
Its possible, but not preordained, that Social Security recipients, veterans and beneficiaries of other cherished programs would take a hit. The administration has choices in how to spread the pain.
Highlighting a threat to the most popular products of the government is a time-honored Washington, D.C., tactic for turning up the heat on the other side to negotiate and settle.
Few may care, or even know, if spending is slashed on the multitudes of private contractors who do work for the government, one likely consequence if the government runs out of borrowing room.
But Obama knows lawmakers will get an earful from constituents if Social Security checks are late.
The political predilection for hyperventilated worst-case scenarios was dubbed the Firemen First principle in 1989 by Charles Peters of The Washington Monthly, and is known in other quarters as the Washington Monument ploy. Its the threat that a budget cut will force firemen and police to be laid off, or the iconic monument to be shut, when in fact there are other ways to save money. (It so happens the monument is closed but for earthquake repair.)
Before a last-minute deal averted what would have been the nations first-ever default in 2011, it was widely expected that the government would continue making its debt payments and honor its obligations to Social Security and Medicare recipients, while deeply cutting spending on non-essential federal workers and state and local governments, as well as contractors, in the early going.
The Treasury Department never disclosed what contingency plan it would have put into effect if the government had been forced to decide which of its 80 million monthly payments to continue making and at what pace.
The Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington-based research group, ran several scenarios. In one, it calculated that the government could make its debt payments and maintain key spending on social programs and entitlements, defense programs and federal pay and pensions if it held back income tax refunds to everyone and slashed money for road construction, air traffic control, flood insurance and much more.
Treasurys inspector general reported after the crisis passed that officials had contemplated delaying payments of all kinds because there is no fair or sensible way to pick and choose among the many bills that come due every day.
Under that circumstance, the government would have paid out day to day only what came in as revenue, leaving everyone short and racking up the IOUs at an alarming rate.
This delayed payment regime, said Inspector General Eric M. Thorson, was considered the least harmful option available to the country at the time, of these very bad options. But the government didnt settle on a plan and, as it turned out, didnt have to.
Whats close to certain now as then is that the government would pull out all the stops to ensure debt payments continue. Thats because its credit rating, which shapes the cost of borrowing, is on the line, as is Americas wider reputation.
At his White House news conference Monday, Obama laid out a variety of potential consequences if no deal is reached in time.
We might not be able to pay our troops, or honor our contracts with small business owners, he said. Food inspectors, air traffic controllers, specialists who track down loose nuclear materials wouldnt get their paychecks. And more that might or might not occur.
But benefits for retirees and veterans, as he told it, were sure to lag if congressional Republicans refuse to pay Americas bills on time.
If that happens, though, it will be partly his call too.

How much time has it been, how many years, since JP and I took off together on a getaway? Too long! We have had a long five years or so, spending our free time (and not so free time) taking care of others, of loved ones, parents, siblings, sons, instead of taking care of ourselves. Don't get me wrong, it has all been worth the trouble and effort, family first, but now it is time to take a little time for us. Just the two of us. Yes, we will be flying off to family, JP, Clem and I, to Florida this summer where we will meet up with Simon at my mom's and we will enjoy our first real family vacation together since, well, since I can remember. But this weekend and for a week, it will be just the two of us.
We are the perfect traveling companions, the Yin and the Yang of partners: he pulls me out into the fresh air, walking shoes on, binoculars or camera around his neck, for nature treks or museum visits, discovering towns and byways, recounting historical tales of wars and religion, of kings and queens and warriors and artists, I keep him calm and relaxed making sure that he understands that vacations are for rest and tranquility, more fun and less work. He leads me to markets, open-air and covered, to hidden bistros or snack bars known only to the locals or elegant restaurants enjoyed by the rich and famous; I pull him into bakeries and pastry shops, Aladdin dens of spices or elegantly-appointed boutiques heady with the scent of chocolate. Together we pack picnic lunches with fresh fruits and cheeses chosen at local market stalls, stopping off at the town's best bakery for a fresh loaf of bread, all to be savored in some lovely open field, the grass gently waving in the breeze, lying in the warm sun and drinking wine straight from the bottle.
We love traveling together, love exploring together, wandering through cities and towns unknown, meandering up and down quiet side streets, along bustling thoroughfares, discovering wonderful food shops and local specialties, buying unusual spices or pastries or treating ourselves to an exciting kitchen utensil or two. Other than the fabulous cities we've lived in, we've explored New England from Pennsylvania up through Vermont to Montreal, Rome and Budapest among other enchanting, magical places. We've sat in the jewel box of an Opera House in Budapest and listened, enraptured, to Cosi Fan Tutte, and nibbled on cherry tart and Dobos Torte in glamorous, gilded, Old World tea salons; we've driven through the Adirondacks on our way north, both mesmerized and stunned by the beauty and grandeur of nature, climbed the blue-green mountains above Manchester, Vermont in the chilly New England summer air; we've strolled hand in hand through the Roman Forum, his storytelling bringing the old rocks and stone sculptures to life then followed by the most memorable meal ever at Piperno in the Old Jewish Ghetto, insalata di puntarelle, fritto misto, crostata di amarena. He's known the best tapas bar in San Sebastian, the best restaurant in Bilbao, he bought me red rubber boots in Rome and brought me to see Grünewald's Isenheim Altarpiece in Colmar, not once but twice. We've swam in clear, blue water off the coast of Cyprus, bartered in a language that wasn't our own for coffee cups in a bar full of fishermen and local workers and eaten souvlaki, tzatziki dribbling down our chins, under grape vine entwined terraces and we've seen ancient mosaics and chatted with old men in small town squares, offering us sips of whatever they were drinking.
Maps and restaurant guides in hand, this time we are off to Lyon and Annecy starting with a 3-day stop in the mountains of the Salers region to rest in a mountain hotel. 3 days of fresh air and romance punctuated by elegant meals and visits to the spa. Ah, yes, how we deserve this. Bring along good walking shoes to go with the picnic lunch and a good book to get sleepy over while our feet are up, poolside. Lyon, well, Lyon is the gastronomic capital of France, isn't it? So must you really ask what we'll be doing there? Bouchons et chocolatiers, patisseries et restaurants. Quoi d'autre? Annecy, oh Annecy, quite possibly the most beautiful, most romantic town in France, the Venice of the Alps, a town of rivers and lake and flowers, cool mountain breezes and gorgeous monuments, architecture and red rooftops. I'll wind through the streets, map in one hand, camera in the other and discover this jewel all on my own, popping into shops to try this pastry or that and trying very hard not to fall in love with this most wonderful, gentle of lovers.
As you read this post, I will already be there, miles away, head in the clouds, tummy filled and satisfied. So I offer you this treat, something oh-so American as I am off discovering a France that I still have yet to get to know, yet to fall in love with. Strawberry Shortcake. Yes, it is strawberry time in my region of France, gorgeous, plump and oh-so sweet Gariguette strawberries that veritably beg me to turn them into Strawberry Shortcake. A roll and a knead of the slightly sweet biscuit dough, rolled out thick, cut into circles and baked to rise up fluffy yet dense, crispy on the outside as a shortcake should be, just barely sweet to hint of dessert yet bland enough to highlight the sweetest of berries. Slather on the freshly whipped cream or compliment it with the best of vanilla ice creams and you have the perfect summer treat, a delicacy of old-time, old-fashioned America, of porch swings and lemonade afternoons, of graceful women in lovely gowns and gentlemen in hats and white suits.
And I, my friends, will be back in one week brimming with stories with which to regale you, delicacies to share and adventures to dream on.
I would like to send this to Ivonne at Cream Puffs in Venice for her Magazine Mondays.

2 Tbs granulated sugar
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
8 Tbs (1 stick/115 g) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
¾ cup (180 ml) half-and-half or light cream
1 - 2 pints fresh strawberries (you can easily use a combination of fresh summer berries)
Sugar to taste
Freshly squeezed lemon juice to taste
1 cup (250 ml) heavy whipping cream
Powdered/confectioner's sugar to taste
Dash of vanilla extract
- or –
Vanilla ice cream
Rinse and pat dry the strawberries then hull and slice them. Put the slices in a bowl with sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Set aside.
Make the Shortcakes:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Stir together the flours, sugar, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt until blended. Add the cubes of butter and, using the tips of your fingers, rub the butter into the flour until there are no more chunks of butter and the mixture resembles sand. Add the cream and stir with a fork until all of the dry ingredients are moistened and it begins to gather into a ball.
Turn out on a lightly floured surface and knead quickly, adding a bit more flour if too sticky, until you have a smooth, homogenous ball of dough. Do not overhandle or overknead.
On a lightly-floured work surface, gently (do not press hard, the dough is soft and should remain fluffy) roll out the dough to a thickness of not less than ¾ inch thickness. Using a 3 or 3 1/2 –inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out thick circles of dough – you should have 6 biscuits – and place them on a cookie sheet.
Bake the shortcakes for 12 to 15 minutes until the shortcakes are puffed up and golden brown both on top and underneath.
Cool the cakes on a cooling rack.
Whip the cream, adding sugar a bit at a time, until very thick and peaks hold. Beat in the vanilla. Sweeten to taste.
To serve, carefully split the shortcakes with a sharp knife and place the bottom of each on individual dessert plates. Spoon the prepared strawberries onto the bottom of the shortcakes, spoon either a large spoonful of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream on top of the strawberries then top with the top halves of the shortcakes. Serve immediately.

Oh I hope you have a wonderful time - there still aren't any planes leaving the UK but I hope you don't have any trouble travelling from France.
I think I used to be a museum dragger although I've gotten more lazy lately letting Nick trot Ted around whilst I flop out and move as little as possible.
I can't wait for strawberries to be in season properly again here, this looks like a wonderful way to use them.

I think we have similar traveling partners! It makes the perfect balance. Annecy - a gem. We discovered it on a drive back from the Alps when we were living in Geneva. It was just at the end of the summer - we went for a swim in the lake (the water was just warm enough) and then walked around town and had an amazing dinner. Then we walked towards the water again and there were lights strung up in the trees and locals were dancing to a band. Felt like something out of a movie.

Park site map (link to PDF)
South Side Lions Park is a 600-acre tract that was purchased by the City from the estate of George W. Brackenridge in 1944 and 1964. The park, also known as Hi-Lions Park, takes it name from the organization that worked to preserve the area for public park land.
In 1944, the City purchased 346.45 acres from the Brackenridge estate for the purpose of a landfill. Residents of the Highland Park area and members of the Highland Park Lions Club successfully petitioned the City to use the land as a park instead of a garbage dump.
Prior to development of the park, 22 acres were deeded in 1953 to the San Antonio Independent School District for construction of Highlands High School.
The area adjacent to Salado Creek was cleared in 1956 for a picnic area and a 33-acre sports center was developed. Service clubs and citizens donated funds to purchase some 400 trees that were planted in 1957.
The City bought the remainder of the Brackenridge estate tract in 1964, and throughout the 1960s, improvements were made to the park. A recreation center, softball fields, tennis facility, dam and 10-acre lake were built on the property.
In 1986, Community Development Block Grant funds were used to build a gymnasium and to upgrade the community center that was dedicated on November 1, 1986.
Trails and lighting improvements were provided with funds from the 1994 Quality of Life bond issue. A new playground was also constructed and further additions and improvements were made to the community center, including renovation of the gym and a dance studio/multi-use room.
In 2010, the City completed a $3,548,289 project that rehabilitated the dam and spillway in South Side Lions Park. The project involved the raising of the park's earthen dam approximately two feet, adding a concrete labyrinth and spillway, adding rock riprap for erosion control, re-routing a 24-inch water line under Salado Creek, and providing tree wells for Bald Cypress trees along the dam. The project addressed the failure of the previous earthen dam with the construction of a new spillway to alleviate the potential for downstream flooding. The funds came from Housing and Urban Development 108 Community Block Grants, Unified Development Code fees, 2007 Certificates of Obligation, 1999 Park Bonds, 2005 Water Revenue Bonds and the San Antonio Water System.
Also in 2010, the City dedicated the Southern Segment of a new Salado Creek Greenway with a trailhead at South Side Lions. The trailhead is located just east of the lake off Pecan Valley. The multi-use trail, which also has trailheads at Covington and Comanche county Parks, offers stunning views of Salado Creek, surrounded by towering bottomland hardwood trees and natural, flowing springs that run from the adjacent hillside to the creek. The total length of the 10-foot wide trail is 2.3 miles. The project was funded through Proposition 3 and Proposition 2 sales tax initiatives at a cost of $2,847,000.<<BACK

Important Information
GLEEVEC® (imatinib mesylate) is available only by prescription.
GLEEVEC tablets are indicated for:
- Newly diagnosed adult and pediatric patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML) in the chronic phase
- Patients with Ph+ CML in blast crisis (BC), accelerated phase (AP), or in the chronic phase (CP) after failure of interferon-alpha therapy
- Adult patients with relapsed or refractory Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL)
- Pediatric patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) in combination with chemotherapy
- Adult patients with myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative diseases (MDS/MPD) associated with PDGFR (platelet-derived growth factor receptor) gene rearrangements
- Adult patients with aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM) without the D816V c-KIT mutation or with c-KIT mutational status unknown
- Adult patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) and/or chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) who have the FIP1L1-PDGFRα fusion kinase and for patients with HES and/or CEL who are FIP1L1-PDGFRα fusion kinase negative or unknown

- Patients with KIT(CD117)-positive gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) that cannot be surgically removed and/or have spread to other parts of the body
- Adult patients after surgery who have had their KIT (CD117)-positive GIST completely removed
Important Safety Information
Who Should NOT Take GLEEVEC
- Women who are or could be pregnant. Harm to the unborn child can occur when administered to pregnant women. Therefore, women should not become pregnant and should be advised of the potential risk to the unborn child if GLEEVEC is used during pregnancy
- Women who are breastfeeding because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants
Sexually active females should use highly effective birth control while taking GLEEVEC.
Be sure to talk to your doctor and/or health care professional about these issues before taking GLEEVEC.
Warnings and Precautions
- GLEEVEC is often associated with edema (swelling) and serious fluid retention (holding water). It is important that patients be weighed and monitored regularly for signs and symptoms of serious fluid retention or unexpected weight gain. Patients experiencing unexpected, rapid weight gain should speak to their doctor about appropriate supportive care treatment. Studies have shown that edema tended to occur more often among patients who are 65 and older or those taking higher doses of GLEEVEC. If you experience severe fluid retention, your doctor may treat you with diuretics and may stop your GLEEVEC treatment until the fluid retention has been managed. Treatment can be resumed as appropriate depending on the initial severity of the event
- Cytopenias (reduction or lack of certain cell elements in blood circulation) have occurred. Your doctor will test your blood weekly for the first month, biweekly for the second month, and periodically thereafter. In most cases, your doctor will reduce or interrupt your GLEEVEC therapy; in rare cases, if the cytopenia is severe, your doctor may discontinue treatment
- Congestive heart failure (impaired ability of the heart to pump blood) and left ventricular dysfunction (impaired functioning of the left side of the heart) have been reported, particularly in patients with other health issues and risk factors. Patients with heart disease or risk factors for heart disease or history of renal failure will be monitored and treated for the condition
- Severe liver problems (hepatotoxicity) may occur. Cases of fatal liver failure and severe liver injury requiring liver transplants have been reported with both short-term and long-term use of GLEEVEC. Your doctor will check your liver function before beginning treatment and continue to monitor liver function as needed. If you experience severe liver problems, your doctor may stop your treatment with GLEEVEC until the liver problem has been managed
- Bleeding may occur. Severe gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding has been reported in patients with Ph+ CML and KIT+ GIST. GI tumor sites may be the cause of this bleeding. GI perforation (small holes or tears in the wall of the stomach or intestine), in some cases fatal, has been reported
- In patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome (a condition with increased eosinophils, which are a type of white blood cell), eg, HES, MDS/MPD, or ASM and heart involvement, cases of heart disease have been associated with the initiation of GLEEVEC therapy. Speak to your doctor regarding appropriate supportive care or discontinuing GLEEVEC
- Skin reactions, such as fluid-filled blisters, have been reported with the use of GLEEVEC
- Clinical cases of hypothyroidism (reduction in thyroid hormones) have been reported in patients taking levothyroxine replacement during treatment with GLEEVEC. Your doctor should closely monitor your thyroid hormone levels
- GLEEVEC can cause harm to the unborn child when administered to a pregnant woman. Women should be aware of the potential harm to the fetus. Be sure to inform your doctor if you are or think you may be pregnant. You should not breastfeed while taking GLEEVEC
- Growth retardation (slowing of growth) has been reported in children taking GLEEVEC. The long-term effects of extended treatment with GLEEVEC on growth in children are unknown. Growth retardation may be monitored in children receiving treatment
- Cases of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), which refers to an electrolyte disturbance caused by the breakdown of tumor cells, have been reported and can be life threatening in some instances. The patients at risk for TLS are those who have a higher number of tumor cells and whose tumors are fast growing before beginning therapy. Your doctor should monitor you closely and take appropriate precautions. Correction of clinically significant dehydration and treatment of high uric acid levels are recommended prior to initiation of GLEEVEC
- Motor vehicle accidents involving patients receiving GLEEVEC have been reported. Patients should be advised that they may experience undesirable effects such as dizziness, blurred vision, or drowsiness during treatment with GLEEVEC. Caution should be recommended when driving a car or operating machinery
Additional Important Safety Information
The following serious side effects have been reported by patients taking GLEEVEC:
- Severe fluid retention (holding water), which can cause swelling around the eyes or swelling of the lower legs, lungs, and heart; fatal in rare cases
- Increased pressure in the heart or brain; fatal in rare cases
- Low levels of certain blood cells
- Heart failure
- Liver problems
- Hemorrhage (abnormal bleeding)
- Skin blistering
- Low levels of thyroid hormone
Your doctor will check you closely for any side effects to stop more serious complications from occurring. Patients with heart disease or risk factors for heart failure should also be monitored carefully.
GLEEVEC is sometimes associated with stomach or intestinal irritation. GLEEVEC should be taken with food and a large glass of water to minimize this problem. There have been rare reports, including deaths, of stomach or intestinal perforation (a small hole or tear).
If you are experiencing any of the above-mentioned side effects, please be sure to speak with your doctor immediately.
Common Side Effects of GLEEVEC
Almost all patients treated with GLEEVEC experience side effects at some time. Most side effects are mild to moderate in severity. Some common side effects that you may experience include:
- Fluid retention (holding water)
- Muscle cramps, pain, or bone pain
- Abdominal pain
- Anorexia (loss of appetite)
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Decreased hemoglobin (decrease in blood cells which carry oxygen)
- Hemorrhage (abnormal bleeding)
- Nausea
- Fatigue
- Rash
If you are experiencing any of the above-mentioned side effects, please be sure to speak with your doctor immediately.
The severity of some side effects may be reduced with the help of other medicines and advice from your doctor, while others may require stopping GLEEVEC therapy for a while or changing the dose. However, in some cases, GLEEVEC therapy may need to be discontinued.
Tell your doctor if you have a history of heart disease or risk factors for heart disease or if you experience side effects, including fever, shortness of breath, blood in your stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and/or eyes), sudden weight gain, or symptoms of heart failure during therapy with GLEEVEC.
After the approval of GLEEVEC, the following adverse events have been reported in patients treated with GLEEVEC: compression of the heart due to increased fluid, swelling of the brain, GI perforation (holes in the stomach or intestine), and sudden lung failure. These events, including some fatalities, may or may not have been drug related.
Take GLEEVEC exactly as prescribed. Do not change your dose or stop taking GLEEVEC unless you are told to do so by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take your dose as soon as possible, unless it is almost time for your next dose. In this case, your missed dose should not be taken. A double dose should not be taken to make up for any missed dose. You should take GLEEVEC with a meal and a large glass of water.
Do not take any other medications without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first, including over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol® (acetaminophen); herbal products (St. John's wort, Hypericum perforatum); or prescription medications including Coumadin® (warfarin sodium); rifampin; erythromycin; metoprolol; ketoconazole; and Dilantin® (phenytoin). Taking these with GLEEVEC may affect how they work, or affect how GLEEVEC works.
You should also tell your doctor if you are taking or plan to take iron supplements. Patients should also avoid grapefruit juice and other foods that may affect how GLEEVEC works.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is amending the phytosanitary treatment regulations in 7 CFR part 305 by removing the lists of approved treatments and treatment schedules from the regulations, while retaining the general requirements for performing treatments and certifying or approving treatment facilities. APHIS is removing treatment schedules from other places where they are currently found in 7 CFR chapter III as well. Approved treatment schedules will instead be found in the Plant Protection and Quarantine Treatment Manual, which is available on the Internet.
APHIS is also establishing a new process to provide the public with notice and the opportunity to comment on changes to treatment schedules.
Finally, APHIS is harmonizing and combining the requirements for performing irradiation treatment for imported articles, articles moved interstate from Hawaii and U.S. territories and articles moved interstate from an area quarantined for fruit flies.
These changes will simplify and expedite the processes for adding, changing and removing treatment schedules while continuing to provide for public participation in the process.
This final rule is published in today's Jan. 26 Federal Register and becomes effective Feb. 25.
Note to Reporters: Public notices and other APHIS information are available on the Internet and through Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds.

Anybody Seen Dan Lovett? Former WNWO anchor looks back at careerWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Dan Lovett had never really intended to write a memoir of his broadcast career. The longtime news and sports reporter, who had worked pretty much everywhere over the course of his 40-plus years in journalism — including a stint as anchor at WNWO television in the late 1990s — began recording the details of his career with a very specific audience in mind: his family.
"I started on this about 20 to 25 years ago," Lovett said in an interview with Toledo Free Press. "Not so much with the intention of doing a book, but just tracking my career — mainly for my family, my children, my grandchildren. And I had really no intention of doing a book until about, oh, I guess about a year ago, maybe a year and a half ago. And my kids said, well, they thought it should become a book."
The end result is entitled "Anybody Seen Dan Lovett?: Memoirs of a Media Nomad," and it's less of a love letter to an era of his life than a knowing and sometimes weary look back at a world that is full of the same pitfalls, politics and pressures we all face on the job. It just so happens that his career was aired to thousands of viewers on a nightly basis.
In a way, it's appropriate that Lovett's memoir was something that just kind of happened — much of his career in broadcasting developed the same way.
"When I started out, I was 18 years old and right out of high school. I [didn't] know what the word journalism meant. I never went to college, I never went to school — I went to work in radio at the age of 18, primarily because I thought I was fascinated by the music of the era and the idea of playing — of being a disc jockey, actually.
"And that led to being introduced to the UPI and the AP wire machines, to read the news. And I basically started doing that. And just one thing lead to another."
Lovett hadn't intended to get into sports, either — a niche which filled much of his on-air career.
"That was totally by — maybe the word's 'default.' I went to Vietnam in 1965 as a correspondent for a chain of radio stations, for Gordon McLendon at the time, in Texas. Spent about six months there. I was 25 years old. And during that time, covering the conflict, war, I decided that I didn't want to be around that kind of environment the rest of my life. I didn't want to be reporting on people getting killed, and have to go back on the air again and start talking about people murdered in car wrecks."
Not that he didn't want the chance to show off his chops in the big chair, outside of sports. That's what was so appealing to Lovett in 1996 when he was approached about relocating to Toledo to anchor the newly-minted 11 p.m. newscast on WNWO television.
"I must say, in all honesty, at the time that took place, I had been with ABC for quite a number of years, and there's a lot of politics in that television business. I mean, a lot of sharks," Lovett said.
"I ended up losing my contract and everything with the company I'd been with all these years, and there came this opportunity … I was doing sports then, and there came this opportunity to go back into news, and to be a news anchorman instead of doing sports. And Toledo happened to be the spot where I was going to go, and I was very excited about it."
His time in Toledo is not the happiest section of the book, sadly. Lovett said that WNWO — which he said at the time was a "dump" and a "taco stand" — was still a good place to work, at first, as the station began the process of bolstering its news department. Then, "boom, the bottom falls out, and they sell from under our nose to Raycom communications. It just was a tumbling effect, and I said, 'That's enough, I've had enough. I'm not going through this nonsense anymore.' And I just retired and came back to Houston."
Lovett said that despite the ups and downs depicted in the memoir, he doesn't mean for anyone — particularly aspiring journalists — to look at "Anybody Seen" as a cautionary tale.
"I didn't write a book to discourage anyone to not do it, not go into broadcasting — that's fine. Just be prepared. It's not a pretty world. But then, [the] banking business is not a pretty world either, I suppose. It's all a matter of your perspective."

Adam Gontier Rant on Facebook

posted May 9 2013 5:31PM
If you're unaware, there has been a long brewing stew of discontent among the members of Three Days Grace which came to a head with founding lead singer Adam Gontier leaving the band in early 2013. Rumor mills have been spitting out theories as to why (mostly concerning drug use, as Adam had been in rehab previously), but no one truly knew. Adam says he's clean and sober. Here's something he posted on his facebook page that addressed the rumors and spoke his side of his departure:
to the people that come here and attempt to get their frustration about my old band out, I have no problem with you posting your opinion of the events that took place. We all know that I have posted many things that, in retrospect, weren't necessary. (I probably still will the odd time)
BUT do NOT forget this.
You DO NOT know, no matter WHO you are, how I, or anybody in that band feels now, or have felt, over the past 5-7 years. And unless I am willing to share those feelings with you personally, you never will. There may, or may not be, a point when I feel I want to share that with you.
If you truly believe that I will return to that band, you haven't really listened to what I've said, and you need to accept what happened, and move forward. Easier said than done... I am constantly working on becoming the best person that I can be, and moving forward and not focusing on the past is hard to do, but also very necessary, when things change.
Many of you out there have decided to make reality, and decisions, out of ignorance. Many of you have chosen to just chalk everything up to... "the way Adam left was wrong and he "screwed them over", or left them "high and dry". How do you know in what manner I left that group? Were you there? Were you a part of it? You were left with "further details of Adam's departure", written by "the band", or people surrounding them. And that's where it's left. By myself as well. So I guess I can assume that we all really DO believe, whole heartedly, what we read on the Internet. What you won't see from me are "further details as to the numerous events, attitudes, and internal battles & frustration built up over years and years, that lead to Adam's departure". It's unnecessary. I know. They know. They "choose to take the high road"..., If you feel a need to tell people again and again that you're taking the "high road".., I'm sorry, but truth is, you're already ON the low road. When you feel as though you have to tell, and explain to thousands of people on a daily basis, that you're a good person, chances are... you're not. You're obviously too self absorbed to realize that other people actually exist, and that they, themselves, have their own lives and problems Just Like You.
My life is good. No, actually it's f#*^n' great. I love my wife so much I miss her when she goes into the other room. I love my family, my dad, my brothers my sister, my real friends, and my beautiful dog & daughter Mabel! I'm actually playing music now with people who, first off, truly are playing music because they actually LOVE it, and LIVE for it. And by "it" I don't mean the "life of a rockstar"., I don't mean the endless amounts demands that you will always get when you are "successful"., I don't mean the money, the hotel rooms, the parties, the kiss ass DJ's, the gophers that get you toilet paper on your demand, the going to the after party club in a limo and being the one, (you think), everyone is looking at, the food brought to your bus on a paper plate backstage at a festival that you're headlining because you don't want people to see you before you go on stage and pretend (lie) to your fans that you're so f*^*n' stoked to be in their hometown, which actually MEANS something to your fans, while you don't even know what the towns name is, other than knowing that you're "somewhere close to Chicago I think". The ego. No. I don't mean the ego.
"It" is not the ego. "It" is making music. In it's TRUE form. The way it is meant to be made. With no pre conceived notions of making sure it will be catchy and under three minutes, so it'll make the radio. With no demands from your mates to write out a set list of the same 15 songs you've played every day, like a robot, just for something to do. The first show I played with my new band was amazing! Do you know why? Because we rehearsed ONCE before we played that show. We didn't know what was going to happen. We had guitars, drums and amps that we'd never used, set up behind us. No expectations. None. When we all sat down together on the day of our first rehearsal, I said to them,
"What do u guys wanna play?"
"Well, it's your call man. Whatever you think we should do"
My call? We ended up sitting down on the couches, eating some food, shootin the shit, & crackin jokes. For HOURS. We had to play our very first show together in about 36 hours. Most would consider jamming for maybe 2 out of 8 hours a waste of time. Perfect segue into an all time favorite Lennon quote:
"Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted."
(Then we broke into "Instant Karma") .... No.... We didn't. I think it was "Never Too Late". We did some Lennon later, because it was just fun to do.
I guess my point of this whole rant that I've been punching into my phone, is that there are two sides to every story. We all know that. We hear it all the time. Do we all practice it? Actually live by it in a situation such as mine? Thankfully many do. Unfortunately, even more don't.
My old band was and is pigeonholed, and always will be. For my mental health, because we all try to make sure we stay healthy, and are concerned when we feel like we aren't, I had to move on and evolve. Whether it meant crawling and scratching my way back into the ears of music fans out there or not. Didn't matter. I could not and will not, sacrifice the music that I make, that I was born with and that is "in my blood", for a false reality. Unfortunately, people find it hard to see the big picture. Writing the same songs with the same chords, with the same basic lyrical ideas and the same drop D power chords, is too easy. Once you've made it, with that formula, it's next to impossible to escape.
I am thankful every single morning I wake up, that I was able to escape.
And every morning I am even more thankful and honored that so many people get it, and are following me on this journey. It's a brand new journey with no destination. Everything happens for a reason. For some purpose. I can feel deep down, that this journey has more purpose than I could have imagined...
I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Wow. That was about 2 hours typing all of that. The perfect amount of time it took for my first upload to finally finish.
Yep. I'll post it in about 5 minutes!
And just to answer your questions that you may feel a need to ask after watching it.... Yes. I will play ANY song that I have written, or have been a part of writing, ANY time I feel like it, ANYWHERE I decide to. Cool?
I've got no regrets.
Nuff said! lol.

Three Days Grace/ Adam Gontier
I think he has a valid point. We don't know what went on, he's struggled a lot over the years, if it was even a mental health issue to get out then I don't blame him. As for playing the same songs "radio style" I'm glad he made that point. Their music has really gone down hill since the last two albums...just like all the other bands out there. Stupid cookie cutter bull. I love music and its very aggravating in these times to find decent music. Everyone I talk to hates what is played on the raido...I don't ever listen to it anymore. Versus growing up listening to hard rock for HOURS... it was with me all day...but now I just turn the radio on and say "ugh theyre playing this gay song again, guess ill just turn on my zune and listen to all the good stuff from 10-20 years ago" Im 25 and I feel this way...I'm glad Adam got out of three days grace before I really started hating that band too...which formerly used to be one of my favorites. Summer
Save yourself, your marriage. Have a family keep playing what makes you happy. Although I will sincerely miss seeing you often, I'd rather you and your families happiness first and foremost over all. That is real life brother. You got it down.You will soar. God Bless and keep you and yours safe. With love, Kat Saulnier
As awesome and great as your music is, I get it. How can you play the same 20 songs over and over with the same energy fun and excitement as the early days of the songs birth Impossible. I could not. Greedy Bastards can. Your not a trained monkey for Christ sakes who gets zapped for not jumping around happily And I like monkeys lol. I get it. Go be happy my good man. You and Naomi ( I believe is wifes name)Pardon if not, go live your lives your way, its the only way hugs to you two! I been around took awhile to figure out this life I think we got it down!!!!
Adam, i love him so much, his songs he has helped me through so much i feel everyone of his songs has been what I've been through on this wicked and selfish journey we call life. But Adam is right life isn't about your destination its the journey and how you get there. So if Adam feels like he needs to change his destination and the journey to it,he can! What he is doing, leaving the band, he feels it's best for him. So guys if you really love Adam you will support his decision. No matter how much we loved TDG with Adam in it, he is doing what is best for him. And i know we think he owes us an explanation but he dosent! when he feels the need to share with us his decisions (which is not our business) then he will when he feels like it Cool? Are we good? Yall understand? Love and peace Adam! ...Isis
I love you Adam
I think that you made the right choice if it wasn't in your heart to stay there. I hope to keep listening to 3DG AND the awsome new music you put out. In the end living a life that you happy and proud of is all that matters
I want to say it had been great and will be great I the future listening to your new hits. I have also fought addictions and you are one of the symbols that help people struggling out there know they have a chance to stay sober! I have settled down myself with my wife and we had a little one and I am happier now than what I ever have been! I respect your decision and look forward to hearing some new songs!!
... matt mark
I see well I've always been on Adams side but this just makes things easier he's not a sell out he's a true musician making songs about what he believes in... Keep it real man I'm on your side
Dear Adam you are my role model
It was a smart idea leaving. You have a solo group and you still sing the same on what I see on your music. Hope you get more ideas to make terrific music
Doug Stegall
Adam, you are truly a life changer in a very positive way. Your music, your lyrics, have helped me through some of the toughest times in my life. I know that probably sounds cliche' to you by now, but I must say that you have done a lot for people and for me, on a genuine basis. Your right, your business is your business, which is between You, Naomi, and your loved ones. I think it's prodigious that you are staying true to yourself when so many musicians in the industry have sold-out. Dude I live in Shreveport and I so regret not going to the concert here at Century-Tel back in I believe 2009 or 2010 when you were still with TDG. Hopefully, one day with your new band you'll make that trip back down to the deep Ole South.
I support you
I have so much respect for you stick to the person you are and want to be. For you to make such a big change in you life and career take a lot of courage. You be the man you want to be. Stay true to yourself.
Dear Adam
I think you made the right choice Adam. I like 3DG with you in it, but I enjoy your new music from Saint Asonia as well. I hope someday I can get to one of your concerts.i love hearing your voice live. your very talented, funny, and cheerful. I love seeing your smile. Hope you have a good time with your new band.😀

University of Tennessee at Chattanooga junior Davis Tull earned a spot on the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) All-American team the organization announced this week. This is the fifth All-American Award for Tull this postseason.
Tull is the first Moc to repeat on the AFCA squad and is one of only two defenders who have made the team each of the last two seasons. A defensive end from Knoxville, Tenn., Tull was second in the league in sacks, posting 9.0 in 2013 while adding 52 tackles and 15.0 TFLs. He also had a league-best four forced fumbles with one recovery and led the Mocs with eight quarterback hurries.
The AFCA has selected an All-America team since 1945 and currently selects teams in all five of its divisions. According to the organization, what makes these teams so special is that they are the only ones chosen exclusively by the men who know the players the best — the coaches themselves.
Be sure to check out the attached press release from the AFCA for the complete squad.

In speaking of the Pulitzer Prize winning book Profiles in Courage by the late President John F. Kennedy, Fr. Dennis Hadberg said the work mentioned such well-known and notable people as John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster and Sam Houston.
He continued, I would add one more name this morning, not nearly as well known as the others, but more than equally worthy . . . the name of Louise Taylor.
Fr. Dennis was reflecting on Louises life as he spoke at her memorial Mass of Resurrection last weekend at St. John the Beloved Catholic Church. Louise died last month, leaving her body to medical science so more could be learned about the beast we call cancer that she lived with for over a dozen years.
Noting that she battled the disease with great courage and grace, Fr. Dennis said she made the choice to live and go forward bravely and with a smile no matter how difficult it was at times.
Thirteen years ago Louise was given three months to live. Treatment worked and she was in remission until a new cancer invaded her with even more fury. She was a devoted member of St. Johns, dedicated to doing everything she could from serving on the altar to visiting the sick. Those of us who knew and admired her, watched her go from a vibrant woman who strode up the aisle to one who moved slowly and with a faulty step.
But she kept moving.
When chemotherapy took her hair, she got a light blonde wig or wore a fetching cap. When she could no longer manage to serve on the altar, she still came to church, until she just flat was not able to move. Fr. Dennis said whenever he visited Louise she never complained about her illness and before you could inquire about how she was, she was always the first to ask how you were doing.
He also noted that she always tried to find the positive and the good. And I know she would have summed it all up by simply saying: God was so good to me
The music at her service was as upbeat as she was and included: Here I Am Lord, The Lord Is My Shepard, Ave Maria, and Let There be Peace on Earth. The Mass souvenir booklet contained the poem Im Free, author unknown, which ends with a stanza which could have been written by Louise herself to express her faith, philosophy and consolation:
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Dont lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now; He set me free.
She also had a good sense of humor both about herself and her friends. When I complimented her new wig, she whipped it off and said Well, I think Im just as good lookin without it, dont you?
She loved to tease Jim about his passion for fishing. Used the wrong lure, did you? if he came home empty handed or with a smallish bass. A five-pounder elicited the query Is that the best you could do?
Louise was more than worthy. One of the last times we saw her in church, bracing on the pews as she crept along, Jim looked at me, teared up, and said, You know, shes always going to be my hero.
Mine too.
