About Primary Brain Tumors
According to the American Cancer Society, each year approximately 22,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Doctors categorize most brain tumors as being either high grade (rapidly growing) or low grade (slow growing). Because the brain is enclosed in the skull, however, even low-grade tumors can be dangerous. The skull cannot expand to make room for a growing tumor, and a tumor can press on or damage brain tissue. Also, a low-grade brain tumor can behave like, or turn into, a high-grade tumor and become life threatening.
In some cases, cancers that begin in other parts of the body migrate, or metastasize, to the brain. Because these metastatic brain tumors are made of different kinds of cells, they are treated differently than primary brain tumors. Learn more about how we diagnose and treat metastatic brain tumors.
Types of Primary Brain Tumors
Most primary brain tumors are named according to the type of cells from which they arise. There are more than 125 types of brain tumors officially recognized by the World Health Organization.
Gliomas are the most common type of primary brain tumor. They develop from glial cells, which perform a variety of supportive functions in the brain. There are several types of gliomas, which are characterized according to the subtype of cell from which they arise and the aggressiveness of the tumor. These types include low-grade glioma and the more aggressive glioblastoma.
Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive type of brain cancer in adults. The tumors arise from the star-shaped astrocyte cells, which provide support to the brain's nerve cells. Because glioblastomas tend to spread through the brain tissue, they can be difficult to remove.
In recent years, doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering and elsewhere have begun to recognize distinct molecular subtypes of glioblastomas — insights that may lead to new and targeted treatment approaches.
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a type of cancer that develops in the lymphatic system, a network of organs called lymph nodes that carry a fluid called lymph throughout the body. Lymph contains a type of cell called a lymphocyte, which plays an important role in fighting disease and infection.
PCNSL begins when lymphocytes in the brain, spinal cord, meninges, or eye become malignant and start to grow and spread uncontrollably. It is more common in people with compromised immune systems, such as those infected with HIV. Central nervous system lymphoma of the eye is called ocular lymphoma.
Because PCNSL typically spreads to multiple locations within the brain and central nervous system, surgery is typically not an effective treatment. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy are most commonly used to control this type of cancer.
Memorial Sloan Kettering has been a leader in the effort to develop new drugs for the treatment of PCNSL. This includes heading national clinical trials of investigational drugs.
Pineal region tumors arise in cells in and around the pineal gland, a small endocrine gland located deep in the brain that creates the neurotransmitter melatonin. Pineal region tumors can cause symptoms when they interfere with the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, compress brain tissue, or interfere with the production of hormones. Pineal region tumors can be either low grade or high grade.
There are two main types of pineal region tumors. Germ cell tumors arise in germ cells in the areas surrounding the pineal gland. Pineal cell tumors arise in pineal parenchymal cells within the pineal gland. Gliomas can also arise from glial cells located within the pineal gland.
Surgery to remove the tumor is often the primary treatment for pineal region tumors. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy may also be given after surgery to control some types of tumors.
Pituitary tumors arise in epithelial cells that line the pituitary gland, which interprets signals from the hypothalamus in the brain to control the release of hormones by other glands in the endocrine system. Pituitary tumors can cause excessive secretion of pituitary hormones, leading to a variety of disorders.
The Pituitary and Skull Based Tumor Center at Memorial Sloan Kettering is the only center of its kind in the New York City area. We have expertise in caring for peoples with all types of pituitary tumors. Learn more about our approach to caring for people with pituitary tumors.
Meningiomas arise in the membranes that surround the brain on the inside of the skull. Most meningiomas are benign tumors that grow slowly, although some can become malignant. In approximately 25 percent of patients, meningioma can cause seizures. Treatment for meningioma may involve surgery, radiation therapy, or both.
Acoustic neuroma is a type of benign tumor that arises from Schwann cells, which wrap around peripheral nerves in the ear. These tumors, also called schwannomas, can cause problems with hearing and balance. Most acoustic neuromas grow very slowly, some more rapidly, and others not at all.
As an acoustic neuroma expands, it compresses nearby nerves, blood vessels, and the surface of the brainstem and cerebellum, threatening neurological function. Learn more about our expertise in the treatment of acoustic neuroma.
Risk Factors
There are only two proven environmental risk factors for developing a brain tumor:
- Exposure of the head to x-rays for the purpose of treating diseases such as cancer. This causes less than 5 percent of brain cancers.
- A history of disorders of the immune system, including congenital immune deficiencies and AIDS, and the use of immunosuppressive drugs to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs or cells. These conditions increase the risk of primary central nervous system lymphoma.
In addition, certain rare genetic disorders may increase the risk of a brain tumor. These include:
- Li-Fraumeni syndrome (increases the risk of glioma)
- von Hippel-Lindau disease (increases the risk of hemangioblastoma)
- tuberous sclerosis (increases the risk of astrocytoma)
- neurofibromatosis type 1, also known as von Recklinghausen's disease (increases the risk of glioma)
- neurofibromatosis type 2 (increases the risk of acoustic neuroma and meningioma).
While these are risk factors that may increase the risk of a brain tumor, there are also several myths about the causes of brain tumors that have insufficient research evidence to support them. For example, at this time there is no solid data that indicates the use of cell phones — or being exposed to the non-ionizing radiation these phones emit — will cause a brain tumor. Nor have experiencing a head trauma, exposure to petrochemicals, or the consumption of aspartame been scientifically linked to an increased brain tumor risk.
Talk with your doctor if you have any concerns about your risk of a brain tumor.
Different parts of the brain govern different functions of the body. This means that symptoms of a brain tumor are usually related to a tumor's location rather than its size. Your specific symptoms may also help your doctor identify which kind of brain tumor you have.
Symptoms develop when a tumor destroys or compresses normal brain tissue, the tissues around the tumor swell, or the tumor interferes with the normal flow of fluid around the brain and spinal cord.
Brain tumor symptoms may include:
- Headaches (these may be subtle or they may present in a pattern that is different from a person's "usual" headache)
- Seizures (a sudden, involuntary movement of the muscles)
- Speech problems (slow speech, difficulties with recalling words, substitution of incorrect words when naming objects, or problems with understanding a conversation or a written text)
- Weakness, often on one side of the body
- Imbalance or difficulty walking
- Impaired vision or a restricted visual field
Symptoms of a brain tumor can often resemble those caused by other diseases. If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, speak with your doctor.

Receive email or text notification about progress on this project
The city has identified a need for drinking water storage in northwest Bellevue. This water is necessary to maintain compliance with state Department of Health requirements and national standards for water utilities. Failure to develop additional storage by 2016 may limit development and redevelopment in the area and place emergency capacity at risk.
Project Update
Bellevue Utilities completed an evaluation of existing water storage across our service area along with our ability to effectively move water through existing transmission lines. This evaluation has resulted in a recommendation to enhance our transmission capabilities that will allow optimum use of existing water storage. This alternative management strategy allows us to meet our immediate water needs without construction of new storage capacity.
The city's water storage needs over the next 20 years will be further evaluated as part of the 2014 Water System Plan.

Okay....I'm a fool. I opened my mouth and said that I would make my sister a sweater. However, all the stuff that I want to knit, she doesn't like. It has to be simple, not busy, no stripes, not stranded, no cables...you get the picture.
Can anyone point me to an easy pattern that I can do for her? I'm hoping for something that I can do the round and that's not chunky, Blech! However, I'd like it to have a little something to keep my interest while I knit it.
Why did I open my mouth?
Thanks for all of the good advice. I told her to go to the DROPS site and tell me what she likes. Man, does she ever have conservative taste. Tallman came to my rescue with a great pattern too. Now I just need to get the yarn.
You guys ROCK!
"A man may fight for many things. His country, his friends, his principles, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mud-wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a sack of French porn." Blackadder
super simple, easy sweater, the raglan. all i did to snap it a little is added an interesting color for first 4-6 rows at bottom edge and neck line and sleeve edge.
all i know of love, is love is all there is
Maybe you should go with one of the very simple handknit twinsets from the 1940's and 1950's...sleek lines and a luxurious yarn, topped off with moderate sized pearl buttons. "Tres Chic" in a Coco Chanel kind of way. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
I've had luck taking the recipient of a gift to the lys and letting them get a sense of what you could be working with...or showing or sending them samples of the yarns you already have in the needed amount. The yarn store visit creates a focused atmosphere to decide what yarn, color and weight you both DON'T WANT, and if they have a book selection, letting the giftee see either sample patterns from their collection or sample stitches that are acceptable. Kind of like building a contract with a client, but the critical part is making a series of either this...or that decisions, IMHO.
I usually have someone I am knitting for send me some links to the style they like, then work from there.
MWK's Token Estrogen-American
what about a simple top down raglan for her? or possibly a guernsey (check out Elizabeth Zimmerman / Schoolhouse Press) - have her send you photos of sweaters she likes.... maybe that'll help...
let us know what happens :)
Check out this site http://www.knittingpatterncentral.com/directory/womens_clothing.php. Man I am lucky I guess, my sister loves anything I make for her with certain color considerations. Good luck.

SACRAMENTO, CA - California Highway Patrol investigators don't know why a North Highlands woman suddenly ran onto Watt Avenue and was struck by a car.
Laura Barnes, 54, suffered major injuries when a 2012 Honda Civic driven by a 47-year-old Carmichael woman hit her, said Officer Lizz Dutton. Barnes was transported to UC Davis Medical Center where she later died from her injuries.
The collision took place on Watt Ave. just north of Barberry Lane at approximately 8:40 p.m. The Honda was traveling about 40-45 mph in the second southbound lane.
Dutton said Barnes was not in a crosswalk when she ran across from the east side of Watt to the west side. It wasn't known yet if alcohol or drugs played a part in her actions.

Day Time Communities
A lot of what I write is observations, small things that I suddenly see that perhaps I hadn't seen before. When I started my new life as a stay at home parent I observed the different community that exists and that I am now a part of, the daytime community.
I used to work in the city, I was one of the 'crisp shirts' who queued in silence for the tram, took my seat and like every other commuter I plugged in my electronic device of choice and shut myself off from everyone else. Eye contact was brief and generally unwanted. As the tram reaches its climax the same people that you share that ritual with every working day would file off without a word. Nine hours later the same practice took place in reverse, the silence was consistent.
The stay at home community is different. I used to see them as I looked out of the tram window, a little enviously in truth, now they are my community and friends.
The little old lady who I would see walking her yapping dogs and stopping to chat to anyone who would listen, now I listen as she delves into her collection of stories about wartime and boyfriends gone by.
The effervescent Greek lady in the green grocers who comes charging down the street with a peeled carrot to quench Max's unquenchable appetite for carrots.
The gentleman/gentle man who always ruffled Max's hair at the park on weekends is now the gentleman who ruffles Max's hair and shares a coffee or two and some adult conversation with Max's Dad every morning.
The clutch of Mums (what is the collective noun for Mums?) pushing their prams from park to park as if possessed, stopping to chat and ask how I'm doing. These women provide the light relief and distraction from Max whilst their children provide Max with the light relief and distraction from me.
I love feeling a part of this community. The pace is slower, the smiles are genuine, the talk is instinctive and there is a more obvious happiness to this daytime community.
You hear a lot of talk about community in blogging circles. I've always wanted this blog to be somewhere that people are comfortable to be themselves, to feel valued, to smile and to be a little bit like the day time community I describe above. I thank you for being a part of it.
Are you enjoying being part of a daytime community, virtual or otherwise? Linking up with Jess at http://essentiallyjess.com/

ATLANTA - Women with anti-SSA/Ro antibodies and a previous child who has heart block—a condition where the electrical signal that make the heart beat is damaged—may potentially decrease their risk of delivering another child with life threatening heart disease by taking hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil®), according to research presented this week at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting in Atlanta.
Systemic lupus erythematosus, also called SLE or lupus, is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, lungs, nervous system, and/or other organs of the body. The most common symptoms include skin rashes and arthritis, often accompanied by fatigue and fever. Lupus occurs mostly in women, typically developing in individuals in their twenties and thirties - prime child-bearing age. Sjögren's syndrome is an inflammatory disease that can affect many different parts of the body, but most often affects the tear and saliva glands. Patients with this condition may notice irritation, a gritty feeling, or painful burning in the eyes. Dry mouth or difficulty eating dry foods, and swelling of the glands around the face and neck are also common. Some patients experience dryness of other mucous membranes (such as the nasal passages, throat, and vagina) and skin.
Anti-SSA/Ro antibodies are present in about one-third of women with systemic lupus erythematosus, almost all with Sjogren's syndrome, and even in some healthy women. Pregnancy in mothers with anti-SSA/Ro antibodies—whether they have a disease or not—can be challenging for patients and the doctors who treat them since, despite weekly monitoring, some children born to these women can have the heart complications of neonatal lupus, which are associated with additional diseases and even death. In addition, some children are born with the transient skin rash of cutaneous neonatal lupus.
Previous research suggested that fetal exposure to hydroxychloroquine may decrease the risk of heart problems associated with neonatal lupus in mothers with lupus and anti-SSA/Ro antibodies. Recently, researchers have taken this one step further and have studied the use of hydroxychloroquine as a way to lower the chances of these cardiac complications in subsequent pregnancies of women who have already given birth to a child with neonatal lupus.
Women who have one child with cardiac neonatal lupus are 10 times more likely to experience the same complications with additional children than women who have not had an affected child.
According to data from the Research Registry for Neonatal Lupus (a U.S. registry dedicated to collecting and analyzing neonatal lupus data) the recurrence rate of cardiac neonatal lupus after giving birth to one child is 18 percent and the occurrence of cardiac neonatal lupus after giving birth to one child with cutaneous neonatal lupus is 13 percent. Based on this information, researchers tried to find out whether this recurrence rate was lower in women taking hydroxychloroquine.
Twenty-four pregnancies of 22 women who had previously given birth to one child with lupus (either with or without cardiac complications) were followed. Sixty-eight percent of the mothers were Caucasian, 41 percent were diagnosed with lupus, and 32 percent were diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome. Nineteen of the 22 mothers had previously given birth to a child with cardiac neonatal lupus, and eight of those infants died of complications.
Researchers studied the effects of taking hydroxychloroquine daily (with an average dose of 352.6mg) started by six weeks of, and continued throughout the entire, pregnancy to determine if this would positively affect the outcomes of the pregnancies. In addition to taking hydroxychloroquine, 25 percent of the mothers received low dose intravenous immune globulin, 75 percent received non-fluorinated steroids (17 of these women were on prednisone), and 8.3 percent received fluorinated steroids (one of these women started taking these after the diagnosis of congenital heart block).
Based on the above recurrence/occurrence rates, researchers expected the rate of recurrent cardiac neonatal lupus among the study's participants to be 17.2 percent. Of the 24 pregnancies where the mothers took hydroxychloroquine, only one child with was born with cardiac neonatal lupus - a recurrence/occurrence rate of only 4.2 percent, about 75.7 percent less than expected.
These results led researchers to conclude that, in these high-risk pregnancies, hydroxychloroquine may decrease the risk for delivering a second child with cardiac neonatal lupus.
"This case series, made possible by the U.S. Research Registry for Neonatal Lupus and our collaborators in Europe, suggests that for women with anti-SSA/Ro antibodies who have had a previous child with neonatal lupus, the use of hydroxychloroquine during a subsequent pregnancy may reduce the risk of having a child with serious life-threatening heart disease," explains Peter M. Izmirly—assistant professor, New York University School of Medicine, New York and lead investigator in the study—who also notes that additional studies should be completed to confirm this observation.
Patients should talk to their rheumatologists to determine their best course of treatment.

Body: Purpose: Despite weekly monitoring of fetuses exposed to maternal anti-SSA/Ro antibodies, immediate treatment has never permanently reversed complete heart block. This irreversibility strongly supports an emphasis on preventative strategies. A recent case-control study revealed that fetal exposure to Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), which prevents endosomal acidification and Toll-Like Receptor ligation (proposed pathway involved in cardiac inflammation and scarring), decreases the risk of cardiac manifestations of neonatal lupus (cardiac-NL) in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) mothers with anti-SSA/Ro antibodies. That study did not address the effect of HCQ on the recurrence rate in subsequent pregnancies which is nearly 10 fold the frequency in anti-SSA/Ro positive women who have not had an affected child. Accordingly, this study explores whether HCQ prevents the development of cardiac-NL in these highest risk pregnancies.
Methods: Twenty-four pregnancies of 22 mothers satisfied the inclusion criterion: exposure to HCQ in a pregnancy of a mother whose previous child had either cardiac or cutaneous-NL. Exposure was defined as the sustained use of HCQ throughout pregnancy with initiation prior to 6 weeks gestation. In 19 of these 22 families the previous child had cardiac-NL (1- isolated cardiomyopathy and 18- advanced congenital heart block (CHB) 8 of whom died from complications of the disease) and in 3 families the prior child had cutaneous-NL. Of these 22 previous NL pregnancies, 15 were unexposed to HCQ (13 CHB, 1 cardiomyopathy and 1 rash), 6 were exposed to HCQ (4 CHB and 2 rash) and in 1 CHB child, exposure to HCQ was unknown.
Results: Sixty-eight percent of the mothers were Caucasian. The maternal health status was SLE in 41%, Sjogren's Syndrome (SS) in 32%, SLE with secondary SS in 18%, and Undifferentiated Autoimmune Syndrome in 9%. Sixty-four percent (14/22) of the mothers were positive for both anti-SSA/Ro and anti-SSB/La antibodies. The mean daily dose of HCQ was 352.6 mg. Using prospective data from the Research Registry for Neonatal Lupus, the recurrence rate of cardiac-NL following a child with cardiac-NL is 18% (based on 161 pregnancies following a previous child with CHB) and the occurrence rate of cardiac-NL following a child with cutaneous-NL is 13% (based on 39 pregnancies following a previous child with cutaneous-NL). These data suggest that the expected rate of cardiac-NL in this cohort should be approximately 17.2%. Of the 24 subsequent pregnancies exposed to HCQ in this study only one fetus developed cardiac-NL (3rd degree) and this mother's previous child had cutaneous-NL. Thus, the recurrence/occurrence rate was 4.2% (95% CI:(0.11% - 21.1%), a reduction of 75.7%. In addition to HCQ, 25% (6/24) of the mothers received intermittent low dose IVIG, 75% (18/24) non-fluorinated steroids, 17 of whom were on < 10="" mg="" of="" prednisone,="" and="" 8.3%="" (2/24)="" fluorinated="" steroids,="" one="" after="" the="" diagnosis="" of="" chb.="">
Conclusion: This case series suggests that in mothers with anti-SSA/Ro antibodies and a previous child with NL, exposure to HCQ during a subsequent pregnancy may decrease the risk for fetal development of cardiac-NL.

4 cups
uncooked glutinous white rice
6 cups
cold water
1 (14 ounce) can
coconut milk, divided
1 1/3 cups
white sugar
1 1/3 cups
brown sugar
3 tablespoons
coconut preserves (such as Phil Supreme®)
Biko is one of my favorite desserts! This recipe came out tasting better than the biko I buy at the philippino store. Follow these steps to make it authentic: I used only 2 cups of rice (makes plenty) & soaked it for a couple hours in 3 cups water. Make sure you use glutinous rice! Cooked it with half the can of coconut milk and soaking water. Cook it just like rice till it gets soft and mushy. Used brown sugar,a little less than called for. For topping:instead of preserves,I used macapuno strings (4 tbsp) or more. They're like coconut strings,sooo good. When you remove the biko from oven,it will be slightly soft and a little liquidy. But, when it cools it sets. The finishing touch is brown coconut jam spread on top. I will never buy biko again!!!!
Not sure what "real" biko tastes like. This wasn't as moist as I expected. Be sure that your rice is tender - almost soft - as the oven time will dry it out.

Mmmm…I'm a Filipina and I love biko! I used to make it a lot a few years back. I tried this version and it was good . Thanks for sharing
Perfect. It reunited me with my childhood. I had soaked dried coconut with the rice. Thanks so much for the formula.
I agree with Beya. This recipe could have easily made 2 9x13 pans. I also just used half of the recipe and it made a hefty 9x13 pan. I might use a tad less white sugar next time also. Thank you so much for the recipe. God bless.
I adjusted to 5 servings, used on 1/2 cup of white and 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and did not use coconut preserve. It was hard to wait until it cooled so that I could take a bite. Not bad for my first try at it.
I made this and it came out great
Don't change a thing. It's perfect just the way it is.

Taking an algebra class for many students is not about the algebra, it's about learning to think. Even if you never use algebra again, the process of learning algebra is mental exercise that improves the mind. Taking a foreign language, studying biology, learning economics, studying history - it doesn't matter what the subject is, merely the more you learn the better a learner you are, and the better thinker you are.
In sports we see athletes perform all kinds of exercises that help develop skills used in their sport, but are never used directly. Ever see footage of a football player stepping through tires? Ever see one do that during the game? Ever see footage of a quarterback or pitcher throwing the ball through a hanging tire? Ever see them do that in a game? Athletics is filled with examples of training exercises done to hone one's skills for a game, yet we have difficulty accepting that mental exercises hone skills we need for life.

Last night I was a volunteer at a 3 hour long dance recital held at a theater (you know, a building with a stage down front, seats, and darkness...) Parents were told in writing, at rehearsals, and at the beginning of the performance - no electronics. No phones, iPads, Nooks, Nintendo, MP3 players, DVD players, etc, etc, etc. In fact, they were told that if a small child needed electronics to be entertained, they child should be left at home with, gasp, a baby sitter. And, of course, there were countless people who ignored the rules, including parents trying to keep small children quiet by using small DVD players. And, when I politely asked them to turn off their devices, they gave me crap.
The problem more universally is that people no longer know how to behave, and no matter how well the rules are promulgated, they believe the rules surely apply to everyone else, but not to them.

Europe may harm Spurs: David explains exactly how the Europa League can hinder Spurs but help Liverpool, and he backs the break Arsenal's players were given.
Fans don't fund Rooney deal: David understands Manchester United paying Wayne Rooney £300,000 a week but does not think fans should be made to fund players' wages.
United need middle man: David uses Michael Laudrup, Jose Mourinho and David Moyes to explain why he believes sporting directors could benefit English clubs.
Deadline Day great fun: David discusses transfer windows, training in Holland and England, and what he believes makes a good manager.
Spurs prove formation myth: David uses Tottenham to explain why there is no 'best' formation, while he says training ground rows like Dani Osvaldo's are common.

More should follow Hitz: David discusses Thomas Hitzlsperger's revelation and explains why he's never used an agent in his first exclusive column for TEAMtalk.
Pardew not a monster
The incident involving Alan Pardew and David Meyler last weekend has had everybody talking and I know both, having played under Pardew twice and been at Sunderland when they signed Meyler.
Pardew has fought and scraped his way to the top as a manager and these qualities can sometimes carry over when players step into coaching or managing but it does need to be curbed.
Pardew has endured a tough season with a lack of signings and the disruption over who signs who so you can understand an incident like this happening as he is an emotional manager and maybe the pressure has told.
However, I know he would have immediately regretted it and one incident does not make you a monster.
I certainly don't believe he is a bully and when I played under him he didn't bully players like I know some managers do; he wouldn't humiliate them privately or publicly and he has lots of admirable qualities but he is emotional and this incident, in the heat of the moment, has done a lot of damage to him.
It is also reflective of the pressures on a Premier League manager and is a timely reminder for the emotional control those in charge need to have.
No doubt managing a club like Newcastle has increased pressure as that part of the world is football mad - and Pardew won't be the last to do something like this.
Technical areas are very close to the pitch at most stadiums and Pardew is a manager who has always stood in his area coaching so naturally is very close to the action.
Everyone will remember Jose Mourinho poking then-Barcelona assistant manager Tito Vilanova in the eye during one heated match and
during my career I have witnessed other incidents where the manager has lost his cool, been confrontational and nearly physical.
Although it is unacceptable, I don't think you should judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes. Maybe the pressures managers face are too great or perhaps some are not properly suited to managing people in high-pressure situations and are in a job that they are ill-equipped for.
When I look at the best managers around the world, they seem to have a calmness about them. The days of being a bully and lasting in football are gone; the emotionally intelligent ones are the ones that will survive nowadays.
Brendan Rodgers, Roberto Martinez, Manuel Pellegrini, Pep Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti and Antonio Conte all have a calmness and very rarely speak ill of their own players publicly, and few stories emanate from within their clubs of an unhappy camp.
A sustained bully or inherently nasty person in football should be rightly brought to book but I don't believe Pardew is that.
Saints stars have families to thank
Southampton have been in the news lately with their English contingent doing so well internationally. I have spoken previously of my admiration of Adam Lallana having played alongside him at Saints, and now Luke Shaw has come to the fore.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was also at St Mary's when I was there, and added to Gareth Bale, that is an impressive list of players. Pompey fans may not want to hear this, but they could have snapped up Oxlade-Chamberlain if they had been on the ball as he went to school in Portsmouth!
I have met both Adam and Alex's parents and they both have really good family support so that has helped them to fulfil their dreams
Talent is key, of course, but so many variables go into making it in football that it is hard to pin down one particular reason why Southampton have managed to bring through so many good young players.
I believe a lot starts at home, playing in the house, garden or on the street with your mates or your family. Being athletic, being dedicated, having someone to take you to training and so forth - all of this starts at home.
The likes of Lallana, Oxlade Chamberlian and Shaw would firstly credit their families for helping them the most but Southampton obviously deserve credit, too, having provided the coaching and a platform for them to shine and show their footballing worth.
Playing for a club like Southampton that in the past didn't have millions to spend on foreigners meant youth would always get a chance.
Everybody at the youth academy have had a part to play - coaches move on, as they do at every club, but if there is a philosophy at the club (which I have written about before) those in charge can rest easy knowing they have a structure in place to keep on producing these talents.
I have been lucky enough to do some coaching at most of my old clubs and at Sunderland the list of players to come out of the academy is fantastic. Jordan Henserson, Jack Colback and countless others that have gone on to have football careers is testament to their set up and in particular the youth coach when I was there, Kevin Ball, who now oversees the Under-21 side.
I saw first hand the coaching detail these young players received and it was brilliant. These days with academies training four or five times a week from age 11 upwards, compared to twice a week when I was the same age, can only improve their technique and build their core skills.
I was lucky to have a great youth team coach in Kenny Jackett and no doubt he had a big influence on my development, like Ball did with players like Henderson and many others.
Being at a club that has a pathway to play in the first team is vital alongside top coaching and technique but they really do need the help and support and sacrifice of their families to help them on their journey.

By Jeff Noble, Times-Voice
Breathitt County Judge Executive Harvey Jason Richardson declared a state of emergency in Breathitt County due to Monday's heavy rains and flash flooding, and has made the county's Emergency Management office available to help assist those who have suffered damage. Richardson said after an emergency meeting of the Breathitt County Fiscal Court on Tuesday morning that some 3,000 persons in the county were affected by flood damage to bridges and culverts, breaks and slips on county roads, downed trees and flooded roads. He also has written to Gov. Steve Beshear, asking for state assistance to help repair the damages.

Journalists deal with deadlines every day. But the late Kathie Durbin, who worked at this newspaper from July 1999 until December 2011, beat the deadliest deadline of all.
Durbin was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer not long after she left The Columbian in order to chase her real dream: a book chronicling the recent history and politics of the Columbia River Gorge.
"Through chemotherapy and radiation she worked on," Durbin's pal Roberta Ulrich writes in the book's foreword. "Even as her strength failed she kept writing. She finished the manuscript working in bed after she was hospitalized. 'That's a real deadline,' she said with the mischievous smile friends knew so well. The next day she entered hospice care and two and half weeks later she died. 'This is my legacy,' she told a friend."
The amazingly tenacious and talented Durbin died at age 68 on March 15, 2013. And now her legacy is available to the public. "Bridging a Great Divide: The Battle for the Columbia River Gorge" will be published in November by Oregon State University Press. ($21.95 in paperback; visit http://osupress.oregonstate.edu.) It's actually her third book -- she also penned "Tree Huggers," considered a definitive history of Northwest forest politics, and "Tsongass," a similar treatment of the Alaskan rain forest.
In her final work, Durbin explores the political forces and popular attitudes that blunted industrial development and sparked the preservation of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. It's interesting to note how today's ongoing cross-river controversy -- with Washington blanching while Oregon pushes ahead with the Columbia River Crossing project -- is nothing new. In the early 20th century it was Oregon legislators and planners who led the way, building a southside freeway and network of state parks that were intended to be compatible with the Gorge landscape; Washington, meanwhile, wanted no part of the project, Durbin writes.
When Washington Governor Roland Hill Hartley rejected the gift of Beacon Rock for a state park, the rock's owners (heirs of Henry J. Biddle) sneakily tried donating the Washington landmark to Oregon instead. That appears to have shamed Washington into accepting the gift, creating at last the first state park on the north side of the Gorge.
Senators and presidents, citizen commissions and forest-industry corporations, tribal interests and railroads, local governments and federal agencies all have tussled to define exactly what Gorge preservation means. Durbin examines the forces at work in distant capitols, and she zooms in to study the controversies and court cases that settled the fates of important Gorge spots like Washougal's Steigerwald Lake, Lyle Point and the Bea House.
Most of all, Durbin's legacy is a view of the Columbia River Gorge as a gift we all have been given. In her introduction, she urges us to go exploring.
"The best way to understand what's been saved and what's been lost in the Columbia River Gorge is to go there," Durbin writes. "As you head out from Troutdale or Washougal, as the distractions of civilization fall away and the basalt walls of the gorge enclose you and you feel the natural world reassert its presence, you too might feel moved to give thanks for this gift."

If you have read pages on our site then you know how we here at Dolittle Chihuahuas feel about spading and neutering your pets it makes all puppies and dogs become "The very best they can be as your companion", and even its best for the health of your pet! Its really important to have your puppies spayed and Neutered by 6 months of age so you can make sure their adult hormones don't start to kick in and take over!
By having the little boys start lifting their leg to potty and the little girls start to become the name we call our breeding females that start with a B___h and this is really no joke! Hormones can really make your sweet pet turn into a different dog altogether! This is one of the reasons some pets wined up in shelters!
Some people ask then why do you be a breeder? And leave your dogs un-fixed?
We as breeders are the ones that knowingly go through all the wiping up all those messes and picking up all those potty pads and placing female diapers on our girls and male diapers bands around our boys and taking them off so they can potty every two to three hours, males trying to breed every female in heat, their temper flaring when that are not able too, Even females humping females and getting mad with flaring tempers, then breeding the ones that must be bred, and keeping all those in house records, and sending in the paper work to the registries, then raising up the puppies and cleaning up after them too, giving shots, worming, then finding good families for each of them besides making sure they all are healthy so they can live a long life with those wonderful families.
No its not easy for us! But that is what we choose to do! Its to bring quality puppies for everyone to enjoy! And if you want to fully enjoy your pet, Please get it fixed !! then you can enjoy your puppy to the fullest! See we as breeders don't get to totally fully enjoy ours, until we decide to no longer breed them which is after we too take them in and spay or neuter them.
We receive many inquiries about where pet owners and pet caretakers can obtain low-cost or free spay/neuter surgeries, So Here are several resources to look into
ASPCA: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/spayneuter/

Learn the facts"
Here is Truth About Spay and Neuter Surgery for Puppies
You've heard the myths that spay or neuter surgery makes a dog fat or less protective; now get the facts. The Doris Day Animal Foundation, in conjunction with the organizations annual Spay Day USA, helps answer common questions about spay and neuter surgery below.
Spaying and neutering, the most common surgical procedures performed on animals, prevent animals from being able to reproduce. Females undergo spay surgery (ovariohysterectomy), which involves the removal of her ovaries and uterus. A male gets neuter surgery (orchidectomy), where his testicles are removed.
Q. Does spaying and neutering hurt?
Veterinarians provide dogs with a general anesthetic, so the surgery itself is painless. Any discomfort your dog feels afterward is minimal and part of the normal healing process. In fact, your dog will probably show no sign of discomfort from the procedure, and may attempt to resume normal activity when he or she gets home. Owners need to monitor their dogs to ensure that they do not aggravate the incision. Most dogs can return to normal activity within 3 days.
Q. Does spaying and neutering provide any other health benefits?
Yes. Spaying greatly reduces the risk of breast cancer and prevents various reproductive tract disorders. Neutering often resolves undesirable behaviors such as aggression, marking and roaming, and eliminates the risk of testicular diseases.
Q. Doesn't spaying and neutering make animals less protective?
Q. Is it really necessary to neuter male puppies? They don't give birth!
The old saying "it takes two to tango" is as true for dogs as it is for humans. Intact males are less attached to their human families, and often try to escape in their search for a mate. In fact, your intact dog will likely try repeatedly to escape, and in the process dig up your yard, scratch up your door or chew off his restraint. Males that roam in search of a mate are susceptible to injury by cars or in fights with other males. And while a female dog can only have one litter at a time, male dogs can impregnate many females each day.
Q. When should I spay or neuter my dog?
Most all Vets say the best time to have your dog altered is at six months, now some veterinarians now practice early-age or juvenile spay/neuter surgery, which they perform on dogs as young as six to eight weeks old. Doctors who practice this technique report that the surgery is significantly easier and quicker to perform; But we have also heard now by some Vets that juvenile spay/neuter can cause some health problems. So we here at "Dolittle Chihuahuas" feel its best to go with spaying or neutering at 6 months old, Plus Spay and neuter all homeless animals before adopting them out still remains the best way to prevent unwanted births.
Q. Isn't spaying and neutering expensive?
Although to some owners the cost of surgery may seem high initially, it's a real bargain when compared with the cost of raising a litter of puppies. Spaying and neutering also saves taxpayer dollars. A recent survey of 186 shelters revealed an average cost of $176 to handle each homeless animal*a cost that ultimately comes out of all our pockets.
While prices for spay/neuter surgery vary considerably, many humane societies, city agency, welfare organizations, and municipal animal care and control departments will spay/neuter animals at a reduced fee for people who truly need it done like those struggling to make ends meet, the elderly, people on a low income, and also some Good Samaritans sometimes donate funds for those who are having problems paying for their animals care.
Some owners consider spay or neuter surgery as vital to their dogs health and welfare as routine physical examinations, good nutrition, grooming, playtime, and love. Take the time to educate yourself about this important decision regarding your dogs care.

Kill Devil Hills, N.C. (WTKR) – A plan that would hike homeowners insurance rates in North Carolina continues to come under fire.
NewsChannel 3 first reported on the proposal in January.
Insurance companies in the Tar Heel state submitted a proposal through the North Carolina Rate Bureau that would increase the rates by a statewide average of 25.3% while parts of the Outer Banks could see their rates increase by 35%.
It's particularly irksome for Outer Banks homeowners like Cynthia Lindquist who was affected when the rates increased last summer.
"That wiped out our savings account," Lindquist said. "I don't know what we are going to do this year if they increase it anymore. We just really don't have that much more in our monthly budget to do it."
North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin ordered a public hearing to be held in Raleigh on August 6 on the proposed increases.
In the Notice of Hearing, Goodwin calls the data used by the insurance companies to support their request "questionable" and writes "there is a pervasive lack of documentation, explanation and justification."
He goes on to say "the proposed rates appear in their entirety to be excessive and unfairly discriminatory."
The North Carolina Department of Insurance says more than 10,000 comments on the proposed hikes were submitted during the January public comment period.

If someone gets sick in Cana, it often means a trip to Mount Airy or Hillsville for treatment, since the small community has no medical clinic of its own.
That will change in July, when Everhart Primary Health Care opens at 1236 Bear Trail here, about one mile off U.S. 52.
And it won't be just any medical clinic, but a non-profit operation that will differ from what most patients are accustomed to, according to the mother-daughter team who will operate the facility.
For one thing, the waiting room will feature a fireplace, and patients who prefer to be outside also will have the option of sitting on a porch until their name is called.
"If you look at it, it actually looks like a house," Carole Everhart said of the clinic that she and a fellow nurse practitioner, her mother Dee Everhart, will operate.
Carole Everhart said it reflects their approach of providing medical care in a homey, comforting atmosphere rather than a conventional institutional setting. The clinic also will have a therapy dog that will help both child and adult patients feel more at ease.
Yet its innovative philosophy doesn't end there.
The Everharts' clinic will not deal with insurance, Medicare or Medicaid claims. Instead, patients will pay a flat fee of $40 upon arriving — by cash, debit or credit card. There will be additional charges for extra services required, such as giving someone a shot, but patients will be informed before these are rendered so there are no surprises.
Patients can use insurance coverage, but must file their own paperwork after paying the clinic.
Night, Weekend Hours
Another of the new clinic's revolutionary elements will be its schedule offering night and weekend hours. The facility will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday through Friday, on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays, 1 to 5 p.m.
"If you get sick in the evening or during a weekend, the only place you can go is the ER," Carole Everhart said of the present situation facing southern Virginia residents.
Among the services to be provided at Everhart Primary Health Care are treatment of acute minor illnesses, management of stable chronic illnesses, wellness examinations/physicals, health education and promotion and disease prevention.
Carole and Dee Everhart have a combined 83 years of nursing experience. Dee Everhart has a family practice background — including working with her husband, Dr. Carlton Everhart, a longtime local physician who is now retired. Most recently, she was associated with a Charlotte firm that provides occupational health services to companies in this region.
Her daughter has worked in the areas of pediatrics, family practice and developmental disabilities. For years, Carole Everhart was employed at Southwest Virginia Training Center near Hillsville.
Dr. Barry Mayberry will serve as team physician for the new clinic, which will involve overseeing its care.
The clinic will be open in mid-July. "Right now, we're aiming for the 15th," Carole Everhart said.
While the facility won't be equipped to handle some types of care, it is associated with a network of specialists to whom patients can be referred. Dee Everhart also mentioned that arrangements have been made with Lab Corps to ensure low costs for any lab work required for patients.
Carole Everhart said much effort has been devoted to keeping the clinic's overhead costs as low as possible, to limit expenses for patients. While it is non-profit, any profits that are realized will be given back to the community in the form of donations to agencies such as the Cana volunteer fire department and rescue squad.
The operators saw a need for such a medical facility in Cana, and thought it would fill a major void, Carole Everhart said of the reasons for launching the clinic. "That's something we felt like we could offer the community."
People need access to care without having to drive to Mount Airy or "up the mountain," Everhart added.
"We're real excited," she said of the clinic's upcoming opening, a sentiment that also has been shared by community residents.
"We've got a lot of positive comments."

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
DULUTH - The loss of other teams continues to be the gain of the Gwinnett Gladiators.Big, young defenseman Chris Zarb became a free agent when the Mississippi Sea Wolves folded this summer and chose to sign with Gwinnett. The Gladiators announced the addition of the second-year pro and Philadelphia Flyers' 2004 draft pick Friday. "He's a big defenseman and he can bring some offense," Gwinnett head coach Jeff Pyle said. "I think he's one of those guys who will fit in with the way I coach. "I saw some pretty good up-side. He skates well. He's got a good shot, but I want him to shoot a little bit more. He just seemed like a real good kid." Zarb played 37 games for the Sea Wolves as a rookie last season and had 16 points. His five goals led all Mississippi blueliners and three of his assists came in a single game against the Gladiators last Halloween. The 24-year-old from Michigan also was called up to AHL Philadelphia, but appeared in just four games for the Phantoms. "He said he liked the way we played, that I let the 'D' run once in a while," Pyle said. "I told him, 'I want to prepare you for the next level.' "Last year he had a chance to be in the 'A' but bouncing back and forth can be tough. In the end though, it's a good learning tool for kids." Prior to turning pro, Zarb skated in three seasons with Ferris State University. In 79 career collegiate games, the 6-foot-4, 197-pound defenseman had two goals and 27 assists. He also accrued 130 penalty minutes while with the Bulldogs. Earlier this summer, the Gladiators also were able to sign point-producing, two-way forward Matt Auffrey when his previous team, Dayton, informed the ECHL it wouldn't be back for the 2009-10 campaign. Zarb's signing brings Gwinnett's roster to six. Zarb is the third defenseman, joining Aaron Brocklehurst and Mike Looby. "I like having him with his size, too," Pyle said. "And we needed a little bit of help moving the puck out. We've got Brocklehurst and now him. Hopefully that will get us out of our zone faster." Goaltender Josh Johnson was the first player locked up, with Auffrey and Tom Zanoski as the forwards inked so far.

The "Started From The Bottom" rapper, who won a Grammy last year for his Take Care album, shared his opinion on the matter with Rolling Stone.
"I was like, 'You won. Why are you posting your text message? Just chill. Take your W, and if you feel you didn't deserve it, go get better — make better music,'" Drake told the music magazine. "It felt cheap. It didn't feel genuine. Why do that? Why feel guilt? You think those guys would pay homage to you if they won?" – See more at: hiphopwired.com

Ewing Township: CLOSE THIS PLACE ALREADY
Whaddya a pilgrim videodummy? If someone's willing to pay her money for a nude shot and she wants to do it to pay her Princeton tuition...well, it's a free country.
Even if you really are so intimidated by Trenton, you don't have to go through any bad sections as you go straight from highway to parking lot when attending the arena.
Considering the fact that there's not a bad seat in the house and it's easy to get to, I'd love to go to shows at there. Problem is that they don't schedule any concerts or show events that are remotely interesting. Jeez, there's only so much hockey and wrestling the public can take. More rock concerts... and not the super retro ones either...
Thank God they shot this down... can you imagine the environmental concerns of this piece of land and the potential liability if families are allowed to lived there? Clearly unsafe.
So why exactly does "Ewing clearly needs this type of housing"? Isn't most of Ewing affordable housing in one form or other (houses for 200K???)?
Hopewell, Pennington & Princeton clearly need this type of housing.
It shouldn't have to matter where one worships. This building is a historical gem in a town sadly lacking architectural beauty. Too bad that a decision made by a few shortsighted people can affect a whole town. Shame on you Rev. Vandergrift.
We already know that the cost of water is going to dramatically jump once the sale goes through. The city of Trenton & American Water have already confirmed this.
Every Council member and politician that supports this horrendous move against the taxpayers ought to be investigated for backroom deals. There is NOTHING here that is good for the people of Ewing, Lawrence, Hamilton & Lawrence. Isn't it cute how some more of these politicians have "suddenly" come to support this water service transfer? This wreaks of corruption.
Another good example of the "enlightened" politician selling out the average-already-burdened-taxpayer just so that his palm can get greased somewhere. We all know how this story ends my friends...
Billy... you'll always be missed by me. Many a night I've sat sipping a half n half to the tune o' "Boston Rose" and the aroma of reb cigar. Although we may not always see eye to eye on the Union, I've always held you in very high regard and have always admired your fightin' spirit and honesty. I've spoken to you once to say thank you for all the years of joy and musical experiences you've given me at Tir na nOg, but wished that I could've said "thank you" more. You don't know me, but you're existence has left its imprint upon me forever... and I thank you my friend.
Your Friend,

'Eight Months After She Died, She Appeared – Promise Kept!'
I am my mother in most ways – except she would have preferred to be blond. We are the kind that keeps going.
The house can fall down, the trees can turn red, the men in our life can disappear, the money can run out; we keep going.
My blessed editor at Knopf, maybe the best teacher I ever had, once asked me what I thought my book was about and I said, "love," and she said, "Oh no, it's about going on. You always keep going." She was so right. I got that from my mother. Her German parents wouldn't send her to college – the boys went. She showed them. She married a Norwegian from Minnesota who had just returned from Paris and the war.
She thought he would give her a glamorous life. When he couldn't muster the ambition, she waited a while and then she and I gave her and us a glamorous life — not with diamonds — with experiences. She loved to learn and wanted to see and know everything. We had an agreement that whichever of us died first would return and, with a code that only we would understand, we would let each other know things were just fine. And about eight months after she died, she appeared at the end of my bed in France in the early morning and said, "Mary, I think you should know Cass died." Cass had been a friend when I was small in Poland, Ohio. No one knew her except my mother and it had been forty years since I had thought of her. So I knew my mother was fine.
Once, I meditated on my mother and was wondering what she was up to and I heard a voice say, "She misses not knowing where you are." Which I thought was a very funny reply. In her later years she used to want to know everywhere I'd been. I guess now she knows everywhere I've been. So, happy Mother's Day, Mom. I bet you're wowed by these women!
