Ugly Mudder
PRETZEL CITY SPORTS' "BLUSTERY, BLIZZARD-LIKE RACE (at least it sure seemed like it in 2014),
Germans have been known for creating many legendary things over the years that have greatly impacted American life; award winning soccer teams, highly engineered luxury cars, savory beers & ales and memorable world wars. Another creation of that country is a variety of meats that incorporates every single fragment of meat, bone, fat, organ, etc of whatever animal from which that product is made. They waste NOTHING!!! At the butcher, you'll find knockwurst, bratwurst, weisswurst, liverwurst, blutwurst (known in English by the equally appealing name "blood sausage"). You name it! All are united in the fact that they have taken the wurst parts of the beast to consume & encased it in an intestine or intestine-like casing. This tendency to include everything but the kitchen sink has even created a new phrase into our language; the incredibly vague "meat byproducts". And you can look at anatomy books until the cows come home and you will NEVER be able to find a part of an animal that is referred to as its "schnitzel". Considering the bodily function that the "schnitz" part of the word rhymes with, it is probably better that we don't know! The same concern holds true for that item's sometimes used prefix, "weiner"! As the "sausage kings" of the world (ironically, your race director's one time nickname given to him while doing porn), they created the prevailing public view that says that while there are 100+ things in sausage, hot dogs, brats, etc, "good quality meat" is probably the item that you have the least chance of finding listed in their ingredients. In short, most German meats are "a little bit of everything, none of which is good for you". That pretty much describes the Ugly Mudder Trail Run as well; it too has a little bit of everything and doing it cannot be good for you! The Ugly Mudder consists mostly of trails that aren't used in any of PCS's other races because they are just too "ugly" which, considering how ugly PCS's other courses are, says about all you really need to know. Like all PCS races, its course has hills, downed logs and debris, rocks & roots, discarded birth control supplies, deer droppings and urban relics along the way. But it ALSO has a few GOOD things as well; a great post race party, funny signs, unusual aide stations, attractive volunteers with low morals, great course markings, a hot breakfast afterwards and other niceties that made this, on several occasions, one of the 5 largest rustic trail runs in the entire country & the largest East of the Mississippi. We've held it in 18 inch snow, ice, sub-zero temps, etc and yet, people were smiling when they finished the race, Or in pain, we're still not sure. Come join the 400-800 people each year that pride themselves in having more guts than brain cells, to run a course uglier than a Kim/Kloe/Chris Kardasian divorce; the 2015 Ugly Mudder! LEGAL B.S: You RUN AT YOUR OWN RISK & you alone are responsible for your welfare at all times while racing!! It's cold in the woods but warm in the bar near the finish so if you get hurt, get your corpse to one of our aide stations on the course so we can send help without actually helping you ourselves. And if you get lost, which you won't, follow the distant sound of shots of Jaegermeister being poured to get to your nearby car. Since this is a mid-level challenge, you must be 1)18 or older (16 & 17 yr olds OK with a parent present-no exceptions) or 2) not someone too wide to pass on a single track trail and 3) not someone who thinks that being a Dallas Cowboy fan and living in Eastern Pennsylvania is acceptable. Because it AIN'T! You goober!
REGISTRATION/ENTRY: Reading Liederkranz German Singing & Sports Club, 140 Spook Lane (off of Hill Rd), Reading, PA (same place as most PCS events). Reg. opens at 9:45 a.m., race at 11 (approx.). Fee is $34 w/ long sleeve regular shirt if postmarked by Mon, Feb 9th. Afterwards, $39 while shirts last (inc. day of race), $30 when gone. FEW extra shirts are printed than those ordered by prereg entries! If you fail to pre-enter, the only "picture" you may have of an "Ugly Mudder" may be your Mother in Law' baby picture (if they actually had cameras back that far). Even if you register in the post-reg period but before raceday, you're almost surely guaranteed a shirt of your preferred size (on-line reg on the pretzelcitysports.com site will close at Midnight of the Wed before the race). We race in & on rain, ice, snow, bitter cold and frozen snot, so the chance of postponement is SUPER-slight! If we DO have suspect conditions, check www.pretzelcitysports.com's home page or call 610-779-2668 after 6 AM raceday ONLY if roads are pretty much impassable that day (not just a little "sub-par"). An email will be sent to all entries too, the minute we make a decision but if we only have your work email, you're screwed. If postponed, it will be held on the following SATURDAY, NOT SUNDAY; same time, same place, better weather. No refunds, no mailed shirts or awards; no whiners, no crybabies & no one that thinks that snow half way to your butt crack (as in 2014) constitutes un-runable conditions. 'Cause we proved that it can be run in, just REALLY, REALLY slowly!
registration not required
but always encouraged!
(small service fee applies, closes at midnight on Wed the week of the race)

A few little tears filled my eyes when a photo of a luminary (see middle image) arrived via text yesterday from my friend Sharon, who was up all night at the Relay for Life event in Newberry, Florida. (Because cancer never sleeps.) I had no idea this luminary would help light the high school track last night. I am touched. Truly. Thank you for thinking of me, Sharon.
This Time of Year
This is the time of year I start looking back and marveling at how I once thought good health was a guarantee. Nine Septembers ago, I believed I was invincible—and then November rolled around, cancer struck, and I ended up looking like this (see photo, left). Moral of the story: None of us is immune to illness, but all of us are capable of comebacks (see photo, right).
Cancer Is Relevant
Says the artist about his iPad sketch, "Relevancy" is about how words are taken for granted until something urgent happens.
For me, cancer was just a word — until it crashed into my world. Now, the word has relevance in everything I do.
What word have you taken for granted that now has relevance?
Kids of Cancer Parents Camp For Free
This is so very awesome — a free summer camp run by college students for kids with a parent who has (or has had) cancer. Don't know a whole lot about the camp, but it's called Camp Kesum, it's offered in several states (Florida!), and, well, click on the link, see for yourself, then pass it on!
Fight Cancer With Fitness (GUEST POST)
By: David Haas
Whether you have just been diagnosed with cancer, are undergoing treatments, or are in remission, the benefits of keeping fit cannot be understated. Exercise keeps the body healthy and functioning at its highest capacity, and for bodies fighting a rigorous chronic disease like cancer, exercise can make a tremendous positive difference.
When my doctor first told me I had mesothelioma, I felt like there was nothing I could do, but he encouraged me to get off my sofa and start exercising, even for a short time daily, so I could make a positive change. Conventionally, healthcare professionals have encouraged cancer patients and survivors to 'take it easy,' but Ciaran Devane, chief executive officer (CEO) of Macmillan Cancer Support, stated in an article posted by CBS News that patients would be shocked to know the benefits of physical activity on their recovery and long-term health.
Decreased Risk of Recurrence
Studies indicate that for those who have beat cancer, exercise can help keep the disease from coming back. In a recent article posted by webMD, Kerry Courneya, professor from Canada and research chair at the Physical Activity and Cancer organization in Edmonton, Canada, stated that not only did exercise reduce the risk of recurrence, but it also ensured a longer survival after diagnosis.
Elevated Energy Levels
Exercise is known to reduce fatigue and increase overall energy levels. It also increases stamina. Cancer treatment can be rigorous, and exercise helps build the muscle and stamina needed to better withstand its effects on the body.
Improved Quality of Life
Exercise reduces the risk of other chronic illnesses, like cardiovascular disease and diabetes, while decreasing the risk of other health issues, like osteoporosis and depression. It also enhances mood by releasing serotonin, a 'feel-good' chemical in the brain, and produces an overall positive feeling of well-being.
Even a little effort at fitness can go a long way while living with or beyond cancer. It doesn't need to be anything too strenuous. Small choices like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, gardening instead of watching television, or walking the dog instead of playing a computer game make a tremendous overall positive impact on living.
Thank you, David, for this reminder that exercise is powerful medicine!
I Picked Cancer
Joey went through this stage — he'd give me two horrible choices, and I had to pick one. Like, "Would you rather be torn up by a tiger or run over by a car?" Tough stuff, and now, Danny is challenging me, too. Yesterday, he asked me if I'd rather fall from the Empire State Building or get cancer. I picked cancer.
I figure my chances of surviving the disease are better than what might happen if I tumbled from the 102-story New York landmark. It's 1,250 feet tall, and, well, I'm just not signing up for that. Of course, I don't want cancer either (once was plenty for me), but when a 7-year-old puts on the pressure, a girl's gotta choose.
His follow-up question was a choice between cancer or a good life with people I love. Just as I was answering a definite good life, he added, "The people are shooting guns!"
Swim for Cancer Research
I would so totally do this if it weren't for the buckets of water that flood my nose every time I swim, or my hate-relationship with swimsuits, or the fact that sucking air at the end of each lap makes me kind of cranky. Swimming is just not my thing. Running, yes. Biking, sure. Just not swimming. It's the one thing that will forever keep me from competing in triathlons. Wait, that's a lie. I just don't want to compete in triathlons. The swimming thing is just a convenient excuse.
You, on the other hand, might love swimming. Or maybe you don't, but you're willing to take a stab at a great challenge. If that sounds like you, then I want you to try this out, and let me know how it goes. Why? Because it helps us cancer girls and guys, and because if you do it, then I won't feel so guilty for not taking the plunge myself.
Here's the deal, all wrapped up in a pretty press release:
Aqua Sphere Challenges Men and Women to Swim for a Cause

Live Like You Were Dying
Five years ago on this very day, I was two weeks from learning I had breast cancer. There I was, plugging along nicely in life, attending playgroups with a 3-year-old and an 18-month-old, investigating preschool programs, thinking the worst of my existence was a frustrating run at potty training and an inconsistent nap schedule. Ha!
There's no better case for cherishing the day than realizing something devastating might be lurking around the corner. It happens to people every day. Everything is fine, then BAM! — Cancer. Now, I completely hope it doesn't happen to you (although if it does, I am confident you can totally handle it, because I did, and I'm a pretty accomplished whiner), but just in case, I suggest you really do live each day as if it's your last, just like country singer Tim McGraw sings:
Live Like You Were Dying
He said: "I was in my early forties,
"With a lot of life before me,
"An' a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
"I spent most of the next days,
"Looking at the x-rays,
"An' talking 'bout the options an' talkin' 'bout sweet time."
I asked him when it sank in,
That this might really be the real end?
How's it hit you when you get that kind of news?
Man whatcha do?
An' he said: "I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."
He said "I was finally the husband,
"That most the time I wasn't.
"An' I became a friend a friend would like to have.
"And all of a sudden goin' fishin',
"Wasn't such an imposition,
"And I went three times that year I lost my Dad.
"Well, I finally read the Good Book,
"And I took a good long hard look,
"At what I'd do if I could do it all again,
"And then:
"I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."
Like tomorrow was a gift,
And you got eternity,
To think about what you'd do with it.
An' what did you do with it?
An' what can I do with it?
An' what would I do with it?
"Sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I watched Blue Eagle as it was flyin'."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
Cancer: No, Pulse: Low
My body is free of cancer, at least as far as my radiation oncologist can tell from a clinical exam — just had a follow-up visit this morning, and I appear to be A-OK, which is great news and all, but even better at the moment is what I learned about my resting pulse (or heart rate).
Right after I was weighed and my blood pressure was taken, my heart rate clocked in at 47. "Oh My Goodness, 47?" said the nurse. "That's really low." I guess I knew this, I'm always pretty low, but her surprise threw me for a minute. "Is that OK?" I asked. She told me it's just fine and asked if I'm a runner. I told her that I am. I mean, I'm not a marathoner or anything, in fact, a 5K is pretty much tops for me. But I do run, and walk, and make often-lazy attempts at push-ups, planks and other body-weight exercises. I guess it all adds up.
"Fit people usually have low resting heart rates," the nurse told me. I took that as a compliment. Then I came home and found this on Pat Croce's website:
One of the greatest barometers of your fitness status—that is, your ability to expend energy—is your resting pulse rate. The lower your pulse rate (also referred to as your heart rate), the less energy you expend doing menial tasks and the more energy you keep stored for other activities. Ironically, the best way to lower you resting heart rate is to exercise or engage in physical activity.
On average, the American Heart beats about 70 to 80 times a minute. The active or athletic heart beats around 60 bpm. And the highly trained athletic heart beats in the range of 40 to 50 bpm. For example, it has been reported that Tiger Woods has a resting pulse rate in the low 50's and my friend Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong—who wrote the Forward for my book 110%—was monitored in the low 40's. I'm proud to say that my resting pulse rate is in the high 40's.
Hmmm, "highly trained athletic heart" — not sure about that, but it sure is motivating to know my heart is seemingly healthy. Makes me want to go out for a run. Tomorrow.

Weighing on my mind
I admit it, I'm concerned about my weight. Not worried about it, just concerned about in a way that makes me work at keeping it right where it is. But I don't exercise and eat right (yesterday doesn't count) for weight reasons alone. I also do it for my overall health, which really is a bigger concern for me than the numbers that stare up at me from my scale each day.
A healthy lifestyle as it relates to cancer prevention gets a lot of press. It's pretty much a fact nowadays that by eating certain foods, ditching all the junk and working up a good sweat most days of the week, we can ward off all sorts of disease. Simple stuff. Also pretty high pressure.
Now that I've had cancer, I know that the way I live my life can quite possibly keep me from getting it again. So I do my best. But when I cheat and eat that plate of chicken nachos or skip a day (or week or month) on the workout circuit, I feel guilty, as if I'm rejecting the medicine that can keep me well. It's a weird mix of motivation and burden. Knowing I have the key to a long, healthy life makes me want to eat veggies for all of time. But knowing I have the key to a long, healthy life makes me feel like I'm doing myself a major disservice when I steal fries of my kids' dinner plates.
I know, I'm human, and I can't be perfect all that time. Still, it weighs on my mind. Which is why today, I walked for 3.5 miles, and tomorrow, I plan to lift a few weights. A fruit salad is on the menu for breakfast this morning, and I'm recommitting to a ban on most packaged foods. It's the least I can do to ensure I'm here for the long haul.

Makes me want to run
The day after his mom passed away from lung cancer in 2007, my friend Rob started to run. He's been running ever since. Of his early days as a runner, he says: "During the next year I ran some 300 miles. I ran a series of races: 5k, 5mi, 10k, a half marathon and on what would have been my mothers' 60th Birthday (January 13th) I ran 26.2 miles across the mild Arizona desert in my first marathon. I ran on sand, on pavement, on dirt, on gravel and even through Camp Pendleton's mud."
Rob runs in the morning, in the rain and in bitter cold temperatures. Clearly, the guy is hooked. And he's starting to write all about his love for the run. "I wanted to start a blog to help others understand how to find their passion and get as much out of life as I do," he writes. "It took a series of major events for me to find the focus I have today. I'd hope that through sharing my stories and advice that the world will be a better place for you." Here is where his story begins.

Susan Keith | Rutgers
Mugshots are an integral part of newspaper pages, often used to add a bit of visual interest to gray columns of type. Beginning copy editors and page designers, however, often have trouble cropping mugshots effectively, especially when several mugshots are displayed together. It'┐Įs not unusual to find that students have cropped a mug of a bald man (think Homer Simpson) very close to his ears, while leaving in the entire coiffure of someone who has much more hair (think Marge Simpson). The result: Homer'┐Įs facial features will be disproportionately larger than Marge'┐Įs.
Primary goal: To help students learn how to size and crop mug shots that run side by side on a page so that the subjects'┐Į facial features are the same size
Secondary goals: To give students practice importing and sizing photographs in QuarkXPress, to give students practice in spacing items on a page
Time required: 15 to 25 minutes, depending on students'┐Į skill level
Resources required: QuarkXPress (or PageMaker or InDesign) and a selection of photographs of people that can be cropped into mug shots. Ideally, the photographs should be taken from different ranges. Some should be close-ups, others head-and-shoulders shots, others waist-up shots and still others full-body shots.
Part I
Draw on a chalk or white board two vertical rectangles roughly proportional to a 6-pica by 8-pica or 5-pica by 7-pica mug shot. The rectangles should be side by side and about 3 feet apart. They should also be roughly the width of a person'┐Įs head and be at about shoulder height from the ground.
Select two students, one who has close-cropped hair, and another who wears a wider hairstyle. Stand one student in front of each rectangle, so that the head of the person with the close-cropped hairstyle is framed as it would be in a mugshot.
Now point out to the students that they can'┐Įt see the lines, or at least not all of the lines, around the head of the person with a wider hairstyle because hair hangs out beyond them. Note that to get mugshots of the two people with similar-sized features, the students would have to crop out the hair that extends beyond the box on the person with the wide hairstyle.
Variation: Bring to class a hat that is wide vertically. Have a student wear the hat and stand beside a hatless student who is not wearing a hat. Point out that some of the hat would extend beyond the horizontal boundaries of the box on the board. As a result, some of the width of the hat would have to be cropped out if you want features to be proportional to those of the person not wearing a hat.
Cautions: If you use students with close-cropped and wide hairstyles, you should, of course, avoid suggesting that one person'┐Įs choice of hairstyle or hair texture is somehow better than another'┐Įs.
Part II
Give students electronic copies of photographs of 10 people and have them import the photographs onto a QuarkXPress, PageMaker or InDesign page and crop them into 6- by 8-pica or 5- by 7-pica mugshots that are lined up side by side. To increase the difficulty of the exercise, have student space the mugshots exactly 1 pica apart.
If you have access to the Associated Press photo archives, you might give students a series of shots of the same person taken over time. I use Elvis Presley (whose hairstyle and face width change over time) and Michael Jackson (of whom there are many photos in hats and masks). I give the students printouts of the wire photos so they can practice arranging the photos chronologically. I also include a photo of a Michael Jackson look-alike to see if they are reading the AP captions carefully!

I followed the recipe exactly, but mine did not separate. It was just fluffy. Not what I was looking for.flag if inappropriate
Wow! I'd have been happy to pay for in a restaurant! I reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup, like other reviewers & this was spot on. It only needed 30 mins, if anything a little less. They didn't need the raspberries. Will definitely be making this dessert again!flag if inappropriate
I made this for an anniversary party and it was greatly enjoyed. Since most of the guests prefer tartness in lemon desserts, I reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup. The desert was made in a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish for 40 minutes.flag if inappropriate
This was simple, delicious, and elegant. Will definitely make again!flag if inappropriate
I made this with splenda, and used 1/2 cup. It worked perfectly. So delicious! I have also made it with 1/2 cup sugar with excellent results. It is one of my kid's favorite desserts.flag if inappropriate
I made this because I wanted to use up some buttermilk. The results were acceptable but not great. The pudding was too sweet (and I almost never think things are too sweet!). I prefer the Cook's Illustrated version of the recipe.flag if inappropriate
This is the perfect summertime dessert for three reasons: #1- It's SUPER quick and doesn't require hours in the kitchen (but has the opposite appearance). #2- It can be garnished with fresh summer berries and mint to keep it seasonal. #3- It's the ideal portion size, is relatively light, and is wows everyone each time I make it! I'll make this dessert again and again. Still need to experiment using dried buttermilk, and if that works, I usually have all ingredients on hand!flag if inappropriate
Really easy and delicious!flag if inappropriate
I have a key lime tree in my back yard so I used the grated peel and juice from my key limes. Served cold with a little dab of sweetened whipped cream. Superb!flag if inappropriate
My family loved this! I had some buttermilk I needed to use, and I always have Meyer lemons from the backyard, so this was perfect. Didn't separate into two layers, though-- more like individual souffles, light and delicious!flag if inappropriate

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
NORCROSS - After months of searching and after receiving nearly 100 resumes, the nonprofit Gwinnett Village Community Alliance has found its new executive director - Letycia Pastrana.Pastrana comes to the GVCA after spending five years as the managing director for the Latin American Association, where she helped open four outreach centers, one of which is in Norcross. In keeping with the goal of the GVCA, which tries to foster collaborations and attract resources to improve the quality of life for those who live in Gwinnett Village, Pastrana has a big job ahead of her now, too. She's supposed to establish a "one-stop" community financial services center which could open as early as Oct. 15. "This is a huge project," Pastrana said. "It will help lower- to moderate-income families who live in the area to improve their economic well being and become self-sufficient." Pastrana said this would be achieved by helping individuals and businesses in the area receive help with regards to completing their income taxes, receiving credit counseling, reducing family debt, increasing family savings and even giving some an opportunity to become first time home buyers. She said opening the financial services center is a partnership between the GVCA and the United Way, which is providing a grant to fund the center. She also said it would be modeled on an already existing facility the United Way helped open in Florida. The GVCA's current office is in the same building occupied by the Gwinnett Village Community Improvement District. Pastrana said the two groups are now looking for a new space that would eventually house both the organizations and the new financial services center "all under the same roof." Pastrana's hiring drew praise from Chuck Warbington, executive director of the Gwinnett Village CID. "Her appointment completes the leadership void in the area that will bring focus on the social needs and issues in the southern part of Gwinnett," Warbington said. "The CID is excited to partner with Letycia and the Alliance to bring about positive change on the social side of the CID area." Improving the social aspects of the Gwinnett Village area is what the GVCA is all about, said its chairman, Keith Shewbert. "The GVCA was created to increase the human capital of the Gwinnett Village area," Shewbert said. "We know that with Letycia's leadership and resourcefulness, GVCA will accomplish many great things for the community."

Sophisticated technology and the qualified staff at the Cancer Center of
Paoli Hospital are key in accurately diagnosing cancer earlier, in its
most treatable stage. Highly skilled, board-certified radiologists and
technologists use the most advanced imaging technology and equipment
available to detect even the most microscopic tumors, and
board-certified pathologists work closely with surgeons during the
biopsy to facilitate an accurate diagnosis. This collaborative approach
is part of our team concept and allows patients to have accurate
diagnoses as quickly as possible.
Aiding in our ability to spot and identify cancers at their earliest
stages are some of the most advanced radiological and imaging
technologies available. The Cancer Center of Paoli Hospital utilizes the
talents and tools of Main Line Health Imaging,
featuring top radiology specialists from the region.
Our team of radiologists and technologists perform a full range of
radiology services at Paoli Hospital and at conveniently located
outpatient imaging centers. All of our locations are connected through a
high-speed network that allows us to share high-resolution images and
patient information throughout our entire healthcare system, consult
with other specialists and deliver prompt, accurate diagnoses.
Our broad range of diagnostic imaging capabilities include:
Mammography and Biopsy
The Holloway
Breast Health Center at Paoli Hospital offers patients a coordinated
approach to breast care and brings together the latest cancer detection
technology, including digital mammography and minimally invasive biopsy
procedures. If necessary, a breast health nurse coordinator ensures that
each woman is referred to the appropriate specialists and programs in a
timely manner. Dedicated radiologists, surgeons and other breast
specialists will work together to offer women a unique resource for
their breast health needs.
PET Scanning
Positron-emission tomography (PET) is a revolutionary imaging system
that provides physicians with critical diagnostic information about the
metabolic activity within the body to aid in accurate diagnosis and
treatment planning.
CT Scanning
Paoli offers the most advanced computed tomography (CT) equipment
available, such as the GE 16-slice CT scanner, providing radiologists
with highly detailed views and assisting in the early detection of lung
and other cancers. CT and PET studies can be digitally fused online from
any Main Line Health facility.
Main Line Health offers 1.5-tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
High-Resolution Ultrasound
High-resolution ultrasound provides superior visual detail for a more
accurate and complete analysis of abnormalities.
Visit Main Line Health Imaging for more detailed
information about these state-of-the-art imaging technologies.
Pathology is the study of disease. A pathologist, who is a medical
doctor, looks at the causes of disease, how disease progresses, and how
disease affects the body. However, instead of examining the patient
physically, a pathologist examines body fluids and tissue samples from
that patient to help the primary physician make a diagnosis. Paoli
Hospital's Pathology Department is accredited by the College of American
Pathologists and includes state-of-the-art advanced technology that is
often seen only in a university setting. Pathology techniques relating
to cancer diagnosis include:
In our immunohistochemistry lab, pathologists can perform special stains
to evaluate different types of tumors. This includes the ability to
perform prognosticators (for example, ER, PR and HER-2) to accurately
assess different types of breast cancers and influence treatment
Four-Color Flow Cytometry
Four-color flow cytometry aids in the diagnosis of leukemia and
lymphoma. Cytometric studies are performed on-site, allowing an accurate
and precise diagnosis within 24 hours.
Electron Microscopy
Our pathologists use electron microscopy to evaluate the cells of many
types of cancers.
The pathologists in our cytology lab assess cells from fine-needle
aspirations of the breast and other body sites. Cytologic studies are
performed on-site to provide rapid results.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- People who are not U.S. citizens--but who are in the United States legally--may be eligible for disaster assistance for damage from the Sept. 12- Oct. 6 severe storms and flooding, according to officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
"We don't want any residents who might be eligible to miss out on valuable disaster assistance that could help them get back on their feet," said Federal Coordinating Officer Stephen M. DeBlasio, Sr. "When someone is in doubt, he or she should apply for assistance. FEMA will determine his or her eligibility."
Disaster assistance is available to residents and business owners in 16 Indiana counties, Clark, Crawford, Dearborn, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson, Jennings, Knox, Lake, LaPorte, Lawrence, Martin, Pike, Porter, Spencer and Switzerland. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, non-citizen nationals or qualified aliens to receive FEMA monetary assistance. Their legal status will not be jeopardized by applying for assistance.
Qualified aliens include:
- Individuals with Lawful Permanent Residency (holders of "green cards");
- Individuals with refugee or asylum status;
- Individuals whose deportation has been withheld;
- Individuals on parole in the U.S. for at least one year for humanitarian purposes;
- Individuals with conditional entry;
- Cuban or Haitian entrants; and,
- Individuals with petitions for relief based on battery or extreme cruelty by a family member.
Assistance can be given as long as someone in a household is entitled to it, and no information will be gathered regarding the status of other household members. For example, a parent or guardian who is not eligible for assistance can still apply on behalf of a minor child who is a U.S. citizen, non-citizen national or qualified alien. The guardian only certifies for the child; no information will be gathered on the adult's status.
Undocumented immigrants from a household with no one eligible for FEMA financial assistance may be eligible for programs run by state, local or voluntary agencies. They may also be eligible for short-term, non-cash aid from FEMA, such as disaster legal services and crisis counseling.
Those affected by the recent disaster can apply for assistance by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY 1-800-462-7585 for the speech- or hearing-impaired. The toll-free telephone numbers operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with multilingual operators available at all times. Individuals can also register online at www.fema.gov. Registration deadline is Dec. 8.
FEMA coordinates the federal government's role in preparing for, preventing, mitigating the effects of, responding to, and recovering from all domestic disasters, whether natural or man-made, including acts of terror.

text: I think the easiest way to make profit or revenue is trading sites such as barter junkies. I have successfully traded stuff of low value and sometimes tripled to making as much as 10 times the value of what I started with. The most important thing to remember is to have patience. If you trade something to fast you could lose your chance to re trading it for something of more value. If I really had more time I can make up to at least a 1000 a week on a good week. That's just me. Im sure it is possible to make tens of thousands of dollars a week. That's my little intro on how i'm able to make extra revenue. Thanks, Seth

An audit of 36 local governments in China has revealed their total debt amounted to 3.9 trillion yuan (US$627.4 billion) as of last year, up 12.9% from 2010, with some struggling to repay their arrears, China's state auditor says.
The National Audit Office, responsible for overseeing all state finances, recently published the results of the audit, which showed that nine local governments had a debt ratio of more than 100%, with the highest ratio touching 188.95%. If the government guaranteed debt was added, the highest debt ratio would also touch 219.57%, the office said. Meanwhile, a further 13 provincial governments also had a debt ratio of more than 20&, with the highest reaching 60.15%.
Zhou Li, a professor at Tsinghua University's School of Economics and Management in Beijing, said that if national capital rose quicker than the government debt, then local governments would not need to worry about their bloated debts. The government should now set up a fund to handle debt-raising and debt repayment and formulate an efficient repayment plan, Zhou said.
Ding Maozhan, director of the China National School of Administration's research office, said that debt extension by local governments have also become prevalent in China, adding that there were several reasons behind their piling debts.
He said that local governments needed money to launch infrastructure projects, but face a significant imbalance between revenue and outlay. They also take loans from state banks and the cooperation between the government and banks, prompts them to borrow more than they can repay.
Local governments hope to repay the debts by using expected revenue from land or capital provided by investors, while inefficient supervision from the government to manage the sector has attributed to the bloated debts incurred by local governments.
Ding added that local governments using their assets as collateral to guarantee repayment of loans had led some financial institutions to extend illegal loans.
The National Audit Office warned that there are serious issues regarding local governments' debt management, these issues include the rapid growth of debts in cities across the country; debt risks surfacing due to local governments' over reliance on land; and illegal borrowing from companies and other financial channels.

Garlic and Oil Sauce
Salsa Aglio e Olio
Perfect sauce when you're rushed for time: as soon as your pasta finishes cooking, you will, too. Featured on show 1801 - Garlic for Health.
2/3 cup Filippo Berio Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/3 cup minced fresh Italian parsley leaves
12 ounces spaghetti or linguine
Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino cheese (optional)
Heat the olive oil slowly in a sauté pan over low heat and when it begins to shimmer, add the garlic and cook gently until it becomes soft but not brown, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir in the salt and parsley, and cover the pan.
Cook the pasta as directed and drain, reserving 1/3 cup of the cooking water. Add the water to the garlic and oil and stir to blend. Quickly mix in the cooked pasta. Transfer the pasta to a platter or bowl and serve immediately with a sprinkling of cheese if desired.
Note: To have parsley on hand when you need it, wash and dry a large bunch. Take the leaves off the stems. Discard the stems and mince the leaves with a chef's knife. Wrap the parsley in paper towels, place in airtight sandwich bags, and freeze. Take out what you need as you need it. This saves having to throw out unused parsley that wilts and dries out in the refrigerator.
This recipe is from MANGIA PASTA by Mary Ann Esposito, published by William Morrow and Company, Inc., in 1998.

The reference point for these Rangers is always going to be last season, when they won games like this, when they won almost all the important games, it seemed, in the most impressive ways.
How they blocked shots and made life difficult for opponents in all three zones. And - the most endearing quality - how when games got nasty, when opponents took liberties, how the Rangers played better, dialed it up.
That's how the Rangers played in Game 7 of their first-round series against Washington Monday night - a full-bore 5-0 victory that sends them into a playoff series with Boston for the first time ...

Why Are Beauty Queens Conservative?
May 17, 2010
Daniel Pipes is grumbling that yet another Muslim has won a beauty pageant--whathappened to the cherished ideal of meritocracy in beauty pageants?--but he probably doesn't realize that yet another conservative has won a beauty pageant. Rimah Fakih of Dearborn, Michigan is, in addition to bring Arab American, a member of the "Free Enterprise Group" at UM-Dearborn. Meanwhile, National Review today has video of Miss Oklahoma endorsing Arizona's immigration laws. Other examples? Miss California Carrie Prejean was a forceful critic of gay marriage.

Beauty pageant contestant Carrie Prejean, asked about gay marriage a few weeks ago, summed up her view this way: "In my country and in my family, I think that I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman." It's a pretty simple answer--what you'd expect, intellectually, from someone who had just successfully completed a bikini walk rather than a dissertation on the topic at hand. Around the same time, Rudy Giuliani framed his own thinking in similar terms: "Marriage, I believe, both traditionally and legally, has always been between a man and a woman and should remain between a m

Enter Your Zip Code to Connect with a Lawyer Serving Your Area
"Statutes of limitations" are laws that set time limits on how long you have to file a "civil" lawsuit, like a personal injury lawsuit, or how long the state has to prosecute someone for committing a crime. These time limits usually depend on the legal claim or crime involved in the case, and they're different from state to state.

Lightspeed Research found that "68% of teens have accepted a friend request from a stranger." A rather daunting statistic and that is just their Facebook account. In addition to duplicate Facebook accounts, another parental concern is the multiple email accounts that parents typically have no idea existed. In some cases, to hide some of their seedy online behavior, kids can have 3 to 4 email accounts or screen names all from different domains. Even more unnerving is that many teenagers lie or overstate their age when signing up for a Facebook account. The Facebook policy states that you need to be at least 13 or older to actually create an account; however, there is no way to actually prove your age when creating an account.
Teens overstating their age on Facebook put themselves at risk, potentially allowing them to meet older individuals who may have intentions of causing them harm. Additionally, teens may post up lewd pictures that they often don't realize could lead to very harmful results, i.e. damaging both their online and offline reputation. "A survey of 2,000 parents and teenagers by TRUSTe and Lightspeed Research found that 80% of the teenagers surveyed reported that they use privacy settings to hide content from certain people, including their parents." Today, there are parental control software options that may offer parents some peace of mind. With such software on the market today, parents have the luxury of keeping an eye on their children and taking a quick glimpse into their children's social networking sites, emails, chats, and other online activities, to make sure that this kind of behavior doesn't occur.
Awareness Technologies Chief Strategy Officer, Ron Penna, comments "I've had many discussions with customers who came to find out after installing our software that the account that their child had "friended" them with was a dummy account and not the one that was actually being used, and that without our software, WebWatcher, they would have never known."

I held the hand of a Satanist
This publication was created because I informed a fellow AA member that I was a Satanist. She then turned to her husband that was holding her hand preparing to say the Our Father prayer standing next to her and whispered "I Held The Hand Of A Satanist." The book is a short diary of events based on my feelings after a government agency drove me to an alcoholic bout that almost cost me my life. The agonizing despair that followed fueled the vehicle of destruction that would inevitably drive me right to the edge of my life. The post events and other points of view I had will pour into this work of fiction based on factual events. They are but a smoke screen that veils the inferno of emotions still unrealized. The malcontent I had expressed is but a shadow of the toxic-shame that had been gifted to me in a neatly wrapped package and tied with a bow. I hope I HELD THE HAND OF A SATANIST inspires and enriches you.
I'm certain that you will enjoy this extremely personal and revealing chronicle of betrayal, truth, short stories, and my personal religious observations. Carrying shame like a corpse without a coffin down a darkened alley of regret and blasphemy, we are the dead that stare at the living with both eyebrows raised. We are the damned, but we're open to suggestions.
A veteran painter of 20 years, I have studied under several prominent artists including Kathleen Bracamontes, George Kaforus, and David Archer, each adding to his personal experience as a painter and creator of fine art. Currently he is exploring new mediums and avenues of expression in art. Once, I was a driven artist, and felt that I must create. I spent a lot of his time making art in order to satisfy my anxieties, andI have explored many mediums, but my explorations always lead me back to painting. Some of my current works include bronze, B&W photography, and assemblage installations. Take some time to visit my website at vincentstone.com, I may be contacted there as well. I welcome your comments and opinions. Enjoy browsing through my portfolio, and I look forward to hearing from you!

(CBS NEWS)The shirtless warriors of the "300" sequel "Rise of an Empire" ravaged the post-Oscars box-office weekend with a domestic debut of $45.1 million but an even bigger international haul of $87.8 million.
Seven years after the original "300" became an unlikely, ultra-stylish, blood-soaked sensation, Warner Bros.' 3-D follow-up showed considerable might at the box office. While"300: Rise of an Empire"didn't come close the North American debut of Zack Snyder's 2007 original ($70.9 million and without the benefit of 3-D ticket prices), it performed like a blockbuster overseas.
"Rise of an Empire," which with flexed torsos and R-rated blood further chronicles the ancient battles of the Greeks and Persians, led a busy box-office weekend that also saw an Academy Awards bump for "12 Years a Slave" and one of the highest per-screen averages ever for Wes Anderson's European caper "The Grand Budapest Hotel."
Though "300: Rise of an Empire" is excessively macho, Eva Green -- the film's fiercest presence -- may have drawn females for what was always going to be a male-centric release. Whereas the female audience for the first "300" was only 29 percent, it was 38 percent for "Rise of an Empire."
"Talk about female empowerment," said Jeff Goldstein, head of domestic distribution for Warner Bros., said of the "Casino Royale" actress.
Noting the popularity of 3-D and IMAX screenings for the movie, Goldstein credited the visual panache of producer Snyder (Noam Murro took over directing), who drew directly from Frank Miller's graphic novels: "He brings a lot to the screen that mesmerizes you."
Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak, said the "300" franchise "translates to virtually every culture. Every country can appreciate the visuals of these movies."
The week's other new wide release, 20th Century Fox's animated"Mr. Peabody & Sherman,"opened in second with $32.5 million. Though the performance was better than some expected, it's a relatively low total for a film that cost about $140 million to make.
The film is based on the cartoon about a time-traveling boy and his brilliant dog from "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show." Some of the family film market was likely taken by Warner Bros.' hit "The Lego Movie," which added $11 million in its fifth weekend.
The Liam Neeson thriller"Non-Stop"slid to third place with $15.4 million in the Universal release's second weekend after previously topping the box office.
In limited release,"The Grand Budapest Hotel"made an astounding average of $200,000 on four screens in New York and Los Angeles. Fox Searchlight will expand the film by 65 to 75 theaters next week.
The specialty studio also celebrated the best picture Oscar win for"12 Years a Slave"with a notable bump of $2.2 million, even though it was released on DVD and video-on-demand Tuesday. That was up 123 percent on the prior weekend for the film, which first opened in November. Its cumulative total is $53 million.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, latest international numbers are also included.
1. "300: Rise of an Empire," $45.1 million ($87.8 million international).
2. "Mr. Peabody & Sherman," $32.5 million.
3. "Non-Stop," $15.4 million.
4. "The Lego Movie," $11 million.
5. "Son of God," $10 million.
6. "The Monuments Men," $3.1 million.
7. "3 Days to Kill," $3.1 million.
8. "Frozen," $3 million.
9. "12 Years a Slave," $2.2 million.
10. "Ride Along," $2 million.

January 2012 saw the release of the first Stomp King virtual FX pedals for the VST environment. These are highly individual, but extremely musical freeware devices which have the sonic aura of a classic vintage stomp box range. Among the first batch were some offbeat and interesting units including an analogue delay, a very cool guitar amp simulator (also brilliant for bass or clonewheel organ), a sophisticated 'dimension'-style symphonic chorus, a cyclic filter and a standalone vibrato. The range now comprises seven virtual pedals - the latest being a dual chorus with a fat, retro sound.
The brief has been to keep everything dead simple for the user, and leave all the complicated stuff 'under the bonnet'. This was one of the reasons I chose a stomp box format over a rack type unit with loads of parameters. Here are the units available so far...
To download, please visit the Stomp King SK1 Download Page.
To download, please visit the Stomp King SK-2 Download Page.
To download, please visit the Stomp King SK-3 Download Page.
Digital delays are ten-a-penny. They're easy for techies to make because they're all about maths. This delay is all about music. It simulates the old analogue delay pedal, with its steady degradation of repeats and characteristic pitch instability. If you're bored with clinical digital delays and want something with more character, this is your free route to that retro echo unit we all complained about so much in the 1980s, but can't get enough of today. You should find some nice dub-type effects - especially if you control the grunginess of the delays by adjusting the volume of the input signal. Retro synth arpeggios work very well too.
To download, please visit the Stomp King SK-4 Download Page.
VSTX3 virtual clonewheel organ you can use this effect to seriously dirty it up.
To download, please visit the Stomp King SK-5 Download Page.
Stomp King SK-6 Ro-Tube: The Stomp King Ro-Tube replaces the older Real Rotor rotary speaker simulator. It emulates the sound of an old, valve-type rotary speaker in keeping with a Leslie 122, and has independent rotations for speaker and horn components. Transition from slow to fast rotation rates is very natural and the tone is big and solid. This fat and gutsy effect should make even the most basic VST organ sound retro, powerful, and attractively animated. But you can also get great electric guitar or electric piano sounds with this virtual stomp box. This is another effect from which it's extremely difficult to get a bad sound.

Tonight a little old man knocked on my door. Well, actually it was my window. I was sitting in my dining room writing on Bubblews when I heard "knock, knock, knock." I turned around to see a man standing at my front door. People rarely knock on my door that I'm not expecting; the rest are salespeople. I opened the door, and in broken English the man asked to call his son. At first I was hesitant. There are so many horror stories about people using phones to call other countries, or doing other crazy things with them, but here was this little man, doing his best to explain that he had gone to the store and gotten lost. He had no phone, and needed to call his son to come pick him up.
Anyways, this all got me thinking...we are so afraid of each other these days. We are bombarded on a regular basis with the horror stories of all the things that can go wrong, we forget all the things that can go right. All I did tonight was lend a stranger my phone. I hope if I were ever in a similar situation that someone would do the same for me.

1959. France. Jean-Luc Godard. 89 min.
Sunday, June 15, 2008, 2:30 p.m.
Theater 1 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 1), T1
1959. France. Written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard. Music by Martial Solal. With Jean Seberg, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Daniel Boulanger. At once a loving homage to Hollywood B-movies and a seismic shattering of film conventions, Godard's debut feature also boasts one of the great jazz scores of French New Wave cinema. Composer Solal makes playful use of a five-note theme, drawing out its variations, velocities, and dissonances, and sometimes abruptly truncating it in the manner of a jump cut. Arranged for piano and strings, the theme diverges into two melodies, one for Belmondo's small-time Paris hoodlum and the other for Seberg's American ingénue. As Solal observes, "They are both five notes: one is coming from the low note to the high note; the other is exactly the contrary. Using almost the same notes, with different, contrary figures, gives the opposite feeling. One makes you anxious; the other is romantic." In French; English subtitles. 89 min.
