Prep football: Morgan uses defense to defeat Grantsville 17-14
Grantsville • The Class 3A North showdown between Morgan and Grantsville came down to defense Thursday night.
The Cowboys were good.
The Trojans were a bit better.
"Our defense was very good and their defense was very good," said Morgan coach Kovi Christiansen after his team's 17-14 victory at cold, rainy Cowboy Stadium.
"It was pretty much a battle all the way through. There was not a lot of footing [and] it was kind of an ugly game. But we'll take it."
With the victory, Morgan improved to 7-1 overall and 4-0 in the Class 3A North. Grantsville slipped to 6-2 and 2-2.
The Cowboys jumped to a quick 7-0 lead.
Two plays after an interception by Ky Fisher, the senior linebacker-running back turned the corner and raced 29 yards for a touchdown only 1:44 into the game.
Morgan countered on the next possession when the Trojans drove 83 yards on 10 plays.
After converting twice on third down including once on a 26-yard pass from quarterback Ben Saunders to tight end Bobby Cluff Morgan tied the game on Matt Murdock's 34-yard run.
Early in the second quarter, the Trojans grabbed a 10-7 lead on Dallen Calder's 21-yard field goal.
Morgan took possession at midfield after a Grantsville fumble and used a pair of fourth-down conversions to move to the Cowboy eight.
From there, however, three running plays gained only four yards and the Trojans settled for the field goal.
Grantsville followed with its best drive of the game, moving from its own 25 to a first-and-10 at the Morgan 32.
But an offensive pass interference call helped stall Cowboys with just over one minute until halftime.
With 19.9 seconds left in the third quarter, the Trojans bumped their lead to 17-7.
Defensive end Bridger Streadbeck put Morgan in position to score when he intercepted a pass by Grantsville quarterback Nephi Meono and returned it 40 yards to the Cowboy 11.
It took the Trojans seven plays to score, but Saunders finally ran in from inside the one.
The Cowboys didn't quit.
Meono scored on a 10-yard run with 42 seconds remaining, but Cluff recovered the onside kick to preserve Morgan's win.

Gore Verbinski has his sights on Tim Burton's Guinness World Record. The director has teamed with Johnny Depp on three Pirates Of The Caribbean films as well as the animated Rango. Now, there are rumors that they'll work together again with Verbinski helming Depp's upcoming The Lone Ranger.
Nothing official has been announced, but it's believed this news leaked in advance of Disney's big press event later this week. If true, this is sure to upset the execs over at the Mouse House. They rented all those chairs and everything. Just great. (Deadline)

They aren't being claimed with any group, so it's almost not worth paying attention to the crazy rants of anonymous people, but thought people would enjoy the insane claims in these flyers:
Are you sure this is not something you found on The Onion? :)
Good grief.
Being discussed at TMC also. It is so off base it is actually funny. A comment was made that the author must be mad that the batteries were taking all his lithium supply and he is upset.
"Tesla seat vibration causes Anal Itching!" may well be the funniest thing I have read this year.
I'm fairly sure that the white powder coming out of Afghanistan is not Lithium Carbonate.
I would respond in more detail but I'm scratching my butt.
Mine came with suppositories!
As mgboyes mentioned above,
The "Tesla seat vibration causes Anal itching", now that is funny! I got a good laugh out of that one.
I want to see the studies about the "increased drug, sex, and risk inclinations." I'm a quaker, and I don't want the car if I won't fit in. jk :)
definitely agree with the strange sexual behavior.
Lithium ion batteries blow up when bumped! That explains all those maimed iPhone users who dropped their phone only to have it disintegrate and cause shrapnel wounds to people nearby! No wonder Apple stock is taking a beating! Must be true too, look how the market responded to Tesla stock over the past year or two. I am so glad I sold my stock at $9.23 while there were suckers to buy it!
And to think that Google was in on it all along! Thank God we have Obamacare to take care of the afflicted (especially those with extreme anal itch and sexual deviancy!) at no cost to the afflicted ones.
What is it with San Francisco? First the Google Bus terrorism, now this? Sheesh...
This is so patently absurd. It does sound like things forwarded to me by one of my friends and one of my family members but I will decline to identify names or political affiliations.
Anal itching is just icing on the cake (if you don't try to think about actual analogies).
Wow. It really makes one wonder... How did these deluded crackpots manage to pay attention long enough to learn how to write?
Damn, my LandShark was parked in SF today, why didn't I get one of these?????
"Strange sexual behavior", eh? Were any of you guys part of those studies?
Hmm...maybe a stealth startup hydrogen car company in SF with some funding that is trying to battle Tesla?
That...or just plain wackos.
Would be very interesting to find out who is behind this! My money is on an intelligent individual with a psychiatric diagnosis rather than some less harmless conspiracy, but you never know.
I guarantee the author is a teabagger. Once something is called out by Fox and Romney, et al, reality no longer matters. Tesla was lumped in with Fisker and Solyndra early on and I'm certain this person drank that particular cup of koolaid.
After reading this I realized something.....I am a terrible person.
Not completely, though. No homocides cause that's just crazy.
Attention Red Sector Alpha: They're onto us. Abort mission.
"Tesla seat vibration causes Anal Itching!"
"Strange sexual behavior"
Wait a minute, didn't @Bamboo8 post his excellent adventure last year eluding to the above items? Hmm, let's cross reference for the writing style...
Agree with Tomas. Some sort of psychosis with obsessional tendencies. This is the type of thing that sounds funny until he tries to shoot Elon Musk or some innocent car owner. When the police break into his house, the walls will be papered with newspaper cuttings with red xs over his victims.
Looks like the work of Trolls and Orcs.
And no surprise that kind of Tesla bashing is intensified when Tesla quarterly earnings release is getting closer. However, time and time again, this kind of bashing on Tesla would fail miserably.
This is mental illness, plain and simple.
Yeah. Definitely a crackpot. I am impressed that they managed to fit all the slurs against Tesla Motors on a single sheet of paper. Nice economy there. Also, after giving a lengthy list of crackpot websites to support these concepts, they managed to squeeze in The Los Angeles Times website too. Figures.
@Red Sage I am impressed that they managed to fit all the slurs against Tesla Motors on a single sheet of paper.
I think I know who this is. When I was in high school geometry our teacher gave us a new required theorem to learn every week. We had to write out all the previous ones and then add the new one every week for homework.
One guy did it on a single piece of notebook paper. All 17 required theorems, with diagrams on a single sheet, front and back.
I've heard he's a landscape engineer in San Francisco.
Reminds me of fRox News! LOL!

There are some days when I realize that covering shopping is a privilege. I know that sounds very self-important and dramatic, but when I spent some time at the Sample Shop in Bellaire, I couldn't help but think about how fortunate I am to be able to share such perfect little places with you.

The Sample Shop is one of my favorite places to find quality fashions at affordable prices in a warm and friendly setting! Karen (the owner) and her helpers are great at coordinating ensembles and providing honest opinions. Great Find!!
This place has some great unique items, things you'll never see anywhere else, and at good prices. The service was excellent too.
I've been shopping at the Sample Shop for 20 years. The majority of my wardrobe is from this shop and I especially love the unusual pieces I find there. Since they are samples and many of the clothes are never manufactured, seeing someone else in the same clothes very seldom happens. In fact, I'm usually surprised and have to ask where they got it from. Karen is great and has added alot of accessories and styles to the shop. It's also the only shop I know that offers a glass of wine while you browse!
Did you know that they won the "Superior Customer Service Award" from the Greater Southwest Houston Chamber of Commerce? The ladies at the Sample Shop deserve it – you are in a boutique, they know you and your style, and guide you well. There's more treasures and beautiful, unique lines than on the video! Experience it – you won't be sorry.

Class of 2005
Quarterback >>> 6-0, 183
1927 Cleveland Bulldogs, 1928 Detroit Wolverines, 1929-1931 New York Giants, 1932-1934 Brooklyn Dodgers
Benjamin Friedman. . .NFL's first great passer . . . Threw league record 11 touchdown passes as rookie, 1927 . . . Set another record with 20 TDs, 1929 . . . Led league in touchdown passes four consecutive years (1927-1930) . . . His 66 career touchdown passes was an NFL record for years. . . Triple-threat player, could run, pass, kick . . . Born March 18, 1905 in Cleveland, Ohio . . . Died November 23, 1982, at age of 77.
Benny Friedman, a two-time All-America quarterback at Michigan, played with the Cleveland Bulldogs (1927), Detroit Wolverines (1928), New York Giants (1929-1931), and the Brooklyn Dodgers (1932-1934). When he turned pro, the college football sensation was greeted with fanfare that was exceeded only by the media attention given future Hall of Fame halfback Red Grange when he turned pro in 1925. A versatile player and field general, Friedman could run, kick, and most importantly pass the ball better than any player who preceded him and for many years better than those who followed him.
During his first four pro seasons, Friedman's play was nothing short of remarkable, earning him first-team All-NFL honors each season. Although official statistics were not kept, he is believed to have completed more than half his passes, at a time when 35 percent was considered a very good performance. From 1927 through 1930 Benny tossed 11, nine, 20, and 13 touchdown passes, leading the league each year. In 1928, he led the league in both rushing touchdowns and touchdown passes; no other player has ever accomplished that. His 20 touchdown passes in 1929, including four in one game, were both NFL records for years.
Following the 1928 season New York Giants owner Tim Mara purchased the Detroit franchise just to secure the services of Friedman. Mara's decision was based not only on the quarterback's league-leading performances, but also on his all-important gate appeal. He proved to be an asset in both categories, not only for the Giants, but for the emerging pro league as well. Although very durable, a knee injury coupled with the rigors of serving as an assistant coach at Yale, Friedman's productivity dropped in 1931. Still the player-coach managed to earn third-team All-NFL honors that year and second-team All-NFL honors in 1933.
Most of Friedman's career was completed prior to the NFL's first championship game.
Up until 1933, the NFL's champion was determined by the best win-loss record during the regular season. None of the teams Friedman played on finished first in the league standings.

Target-date mutual funds, TDFs for short, are perhaps the most widely held but least understood packaged-for-retirement investment in the world.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) wants to change that. They want investors to better understand the TDFs they own or might own in their 401(k) and other types of retirement accounts.
And to that end, the SEC earlier this month reopened the public comment period for its TDF regulations, which were first proposed in 2010 but haven't yet been completed. (Read the original proposal.)
Retirement Benefits and Your Small Business
Retirement plans attract workers and inspire company loyalty. MarketWatch's Robert Powell talks with three small-business experts about the types of plans that business owners should consider and why the MyRA product may not be the best solution.
According to the SEC, that proposed rule would generally require TDFs to more prominently disclose the fund's asset allocation at the target date, say 2025 or 2050. (The target date is typically intended to coincide with the date the investor expects to retire.) And that disclosure would have to be placed adjacent to the fund's name the first time the name appears in marketing materials.
The proposal also would require marketing materials for TDFs to include a table, chart, or graph depicting the fund's asset allocation over time. TDFs often reduce the percent invested in stocks as the fund moves closer to its target date. Experts often refer to this as the TDF's glide path.
In the main, experts praise the SEC's efforts.
"High level, I like the idea of providing the information, since target-date funds are perceived by many investors as 'black boxes' that are difficult to understand," said David Blanchett, head of retirement research for Morningstar Investment Management.
Others agree. "I think it's a great idea because it removes the 'ignorance' argument," said Ron Surz, the president and CEO of Target Date Solutions and co-author of a book about target-date funds. "The SEC should require this disclosure."
Great idea or not, here's what happened most recently. The Investment Advisory Committee (IAC), a group of regulators, consumer advocates, academics and others who advise the SEC on matters of concern to consumers, earlier this month recommended a number of changes to the proposed TDF regulations. And that has caused the SEC to go back to the drawing board.
Mapping out a 'glide path'
The IAC said, for instance, that the SEC should develop a glide-path illustration for TDFs that is based on a standardized measure of fund risk as either a replacement for or supplement to its proposed asset-allocation glide-path illustration.
In its letter, the IAC suggested that a glide-path illustration based on an appropriate, standardized measure of fund risk would be both more accurate and more flexible than a glide-path illustration based on asset allocation alone.
The IAC also suggested that the two approaches could be designed to work together: "If the fund is designed around a target risk level, illustrated through an appropriate risk glide path, the fund could also be required to disclose what the expected asset allocation would be to produce the desired risk level and explain that the asset allocation may vary, and other risk management practices may be employed, to maintain that target risk level," the IAC wrote.
Where a fund bases its approach on a target asset allocation, the fund could be required to show the expected risk level associated with that asset allocation over the life of the investment. In each case, the illustrations would need to be periodically updated to reflect actual market experience and any changes in management strategy, the IAC wrote.
A standard methodology
In addition, the IAC said the SEC should adopt a standard methodology or methodologies to be used in both the risk-based and asset-allocation glide-path illustrations.
Wrote the IAC: "A primary purpose of the glide path illustration is to allow side-by-side comparisons of target-date fund risks…we believe this is better achieved through a risk-based glide-path illustration than an asset-allocation glide-path illustration, though we recognize that both may have their place. To promote comparability, risk-based illustrations should be based on a standardized measure of risk. Currently, no such standard exists, though a variety of accepted risk measures exist and are in use today."
In addition, the IAC stated that the SEC, in determining the appropriate risk measure to use in a risk-based glide path illustration, should focus on factors such as maximum exposure to loss or volatility of returns that are directly relevant to the primary concerns of those approaching retirement.
The committee said the SEC should require TDF prospectuses to disclose and clearly explain the policies and assumptions used to design and manage the target-date offerings to attain the target risk level over the life of the fund.
The IAC did say it strongly supports the SEC's proposal to require TDF marketing materials to include a warning that the fund is not guaranteed and that losses are possible, including at or after the target date. But it also said the SEC should consider testing various approaches to providing this disclosure to determine the most effective approach and then mandate that approach in the final rule.
Impact of fees
Lastly, the IAC said the SEC should amend the fee disclosure requirements for TDFs to provide better information about the likely impact of fund fees on total accumulations over the expected holding period of the investment. Read Recommendation of the Investor Advisory Committee Target Date Mutual Funds (adopted April 11, 2013).

This is for the "I am atheist campaign"
Views: 3039
@Scott - we have a winner! Seriously, seriously, deeply repressed ;-) - kk
-- unfortunately it just reinforces the view that atheists are largely a group of male geeks who like to ogle nude women. (btw, nothing wrong with ogling nude women, but using them in ads is misogynist.) put eve and adam in there with snake -- be atheist, restore your innocence -- only God has a dirty mind.
unfortunately it just reinforces the view that atheists are largely a group of male geeks who like to ogle nude women
And rest assured, it will help reinforce that view by pushing more male geeks who like to ogle women toward atheism.
What does this have to do with athiesm?
Basically more photoshopped women. Unless it's some comment like "being athiest should be as mainstream as a CK jeans commercial!"
OK, where's the beefcake version of this? Something along the lines of an Abercrombie & Fitch ad like they have in the stores... They don't make me go in and buy anything, but I sure stop and stare in the middle of the mall for a bit.
Fuck it. Made my own and uploaded it. :)
After my first nude beach experience, and three marriages, I just can't see the human body as anything but beautiful. Nudity is not about morality, it is about our human reality, without props.
Thank you!

Rally to Support Dean Edley to be held Wednesday
Wednesday, January 19, 2011
12:45pm – 1:45pm
Steinhart Courtyard, Boalt Hall
We write as members of the Boalt Hall community concerned over recent criticism of Dean Edley. As you may have heard, Dean Edley wrote to the Board of Regents on December 9 to remind them of their "moral and ethical" responsibilities to increase the pensions of University of California executives earning over $245,000. Taking a moral stand isn't always easy or popular, but we applaud Dean Edley for doing so.
Although there are a host of problems now plaguing the University of California system, we agree with Dean Edley that this is an issue our community needs to address URGENTLY. While all of us have had to undertake sacrifices – rising tuition, cuts to financial aid, and layoffs – the demand letter serves as a timely reminder that, eventually, a line must be drawn.
Dean Edley's powerful e-mail to the community serves as a moral challenge to us all. We hope that this dispute does not result in a "costly and unsuccessful legal confrontation for the University." But if it does, we want to show the Board of Regents that some of this nation's brightest young legal minds will be supporting Dean Edley in his fight for higher executive pensions.
This is probably the funniest response to Edley's letter/position I've seen.

Joni Mitchell Returns, Clarifies Dylan Comments
Joni Mitchell doesn't really like interviews. They take too long. They focus too heavily on her Blue period. And sometimes, they wind up pissing off millions of Bob Dylan fans. "The interviewer was an asshole." That's a new quote from Mitchell, who recently sat down with CBC to clear up the whole Dylan thing. In […]Continue Reading

Show leadership
Before the Simi Valley Unified School District's Board of Education moves to put a school bond measure on the November ballot, or any ballot for that matter, burdening homeowners with additional fees on top of their property tax, it needs to show leadership by first closing three schools that are not needed, given the current district student population.

Maintenance and operations staff kept busy over summer to keep campus beautiful
While most of our students were away for the summer months, our maintenance and operations staff kept busy managing several campus improvement projects. The main entrance to campus was made more prominent with a new sign on Route 233 (Park Street) and Campus Drive in addition to new railings installed along the walking bridge. Wiestling Student Center, the oldest building in the Penn State University system, received a fresh coat of paint and its plaza was redesigned and re-landscaped to provide students, staff and visitors more outdoor gathering space. Many other projects filled out a long list completed by our dedicated maintenance and operations staff to maintain the physical beauty and functionality of our campus.

See all of the top support solutions for our most common issues here
I recently ran into this issue a couple days ago and didn't see a whole lot documented on it so I thought I would do a quick write up here. If you're trying to upgrade some of your site servers to SP2 and run into an issue, this should get you going again pretty easily.
Note: This article describes making changes to the primary site database. Before making changes in SQL Management Studio to the database, make sure to create a backup of your ConfigMgr 2007 Primary Site/Database. The process in this post has not been officially tested and is posted as is with no guarantee. This solution did work for me and it should also work for you, just make sure to back up your Primary site/database to be safe.
ConfigMgr2007 SP2 Setup on some Secondary sites failed due to insufficient disk space. Once we freed up enough disk space, we needed to get setup for SP2 restarted, preferably without having to copy the source files to the Secondary Site server and manually upgrading. Since the setup failed to even start due to disk space issues on the Secondary Site server, it got stuck in an Upgrade status and did not resume setup automatically even after freeing up the disk space on the server.
We found that manually copying the ConfigMgr SP2 source files to the server and running setup worked to get the Secondary Site upgraded, but if there are a lot of servers with the issue this can become quite time consuming. Since we did not want to have to perform this manual process on each server where disk space was already an issue, we devised the following solution:
Using SQL Management Studio at the ConfigMgr 2007 Primary Site database, we opened the dbo.Sites table and modified the Secondary Sites Status column from 5 to 1.
The Sites table in the Primary Site database will have entries for each site including the Secondary sites. In the database there is a Status column where the current status will be defined as 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 :
Based on the above information, we changed the status back to 1 for the sites that failed , and then started another upgrade from the ConfigMgr 2007 Admin Console. This allowed us to re-trigger the SP2 upgrade without having to copy the files locally to each server and running setup manually.
Clifton Hughes | Senior System Center Support Engineer
I had a similar issue while deploying SCCM 2012 SP1 and used the above article as base for my Solution. My Secondary Site Upgrade failed due to a Pending restart. Post the Server restart the Status at the Primary Site was still Showing as Upgrading. I
modified the following fields in the dbo.sites Table
Status - 1
Build 7711
Version No - 5.00.7711.1000
All I needed to do was then re-initiate the Upgrade and Vola!!

Members of the Rotary Club met Thursday, Jan. 9 to discuss a dinner fundraiser for a future soccer field near the School District 7 office building in Lakeview.
The dinner has been set for early March, and will feature Baxter Black, well-known cowboy comedian, as the evening's main attraction.
A dedicated soccer field has been discussed in the past as a potential use for the lot near the District office, which was brought up during the planning process for a solar array that will occupy the same empty lot.
The initial location for the array was changed to allow room for the soccer field.
The local Rotary was given the go-ahead for fundraising efforts by the District 7 School Board at their last meeting.
Though the dinner is planned to take place at the Lakeview Elk's Lodge, the time was still under discussion at the meeting.
The Rotary committee overseeing the project intends to send invitations out before they officially open ticket sales for the dinner.
As an estimate, the group is planning for around 150 to 200 people in attendance at the event.
Currently, they are in the process of securing sponsors for Baxter Black's appearance.

Mt. Everest Expedition: Sara Recounts the Puja Ceremony
Posted by: | April 11, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Everest
Elevation: 17,575'
Hi from Everest Basecamp.
Five days ago our expedition arrived at Basecamp. Many days before we arrived, our team of Sherpas were up here preparing our campsite, setting up
tents, and putting up the Puja altar. Once the Puja altar was constructed, the next order of business was to pick the day on which the Puja ceremony
would be performed. The actual day the Puja is performed on is just as important as the Puja, and April 9th was the day that was selected for our team.
The actual Puja ceremony takes about two hours. Two Buddhist monks sit in front of the altar, and chant and sing religious poems and songs, while the
rest of the team gathers around listening. We place our climbing gear and food around the altar so that it can be blessed by the Buddhist monks, and
since we are on a glacier, mats were also laid out so that everyone could sit comfortably. Tea and coffee were served to everyone throughout the ceremony.
Towards the end of the Puja, Buddhist prayer flags are draped from the top of the Puja altar to every corner of our camp (which is quite large.) An
American flag was raised from the top along with a RMI flag, and a Taos, New Mexico flag (which is the home of Dave Hahn). My dad even put a Baltustrol golf club patch on the altar, which is probably the first time that has ever been displayed at Everest Basecamp.
The end of the ceremony was marked when tsampa is thrown into the air and spread on everyone's faces and hair for good luck. Although I still can see
some of the tsampa on my clothing, we hope this means we will have a lot of luck when we are higher up on the mountain. Food and drinks were passed around to all, and then it became a party where Sherpas, porters, and even the medical doctors from the clinic next door began to show up. Cans of Everest beer, coke, and sprite were shared and snickers bars, mars bars, cakes, and pastries were served. There were about 30+ birds flying around trying to eat some of the delicious food.
The Puja ceremony really meant a lot to our Sherpas. It is performed every time an expedition attempts to climb a large mountain in the Himalaya, and
the beautiful Puja alter remains standing throughout the whole expedition.
As I sit here on the morning of April 11th in our communications tent looking out onto Nuptse, two of our climbing Sherpas and Dave have just
reached Camp One. Two more of our Sherpa Team have also reached Camp 2 this morning.
In the days that follow, we will continue to focus on our acclimatization and training to make sure we are ready to go up to Camp 1.

"Onward and upward, as she wrote!"; is the saying that we used during the 70s and early 80s when I used to climb the various mountain peaks in North America. My first summit was Mt. Rainier. I was 16 years old. You are much more experienced climbers. You have much more advanced gear and technology. You only need the will and God to succeed. Godspeed, my friends. I'll wait down here, for your safe return.

Procedures for Scientific Review and Monitoring
The Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee (PRMC) is the new title for the Protocol Review Committee (PRC) as of June 2015. The PRC, where direct protocol review is conducted as part of the University of Vermont Cancer Center's Protocol Review and Monitoring System, was established in April of 1993 in response to NCI's policy statement dated December 7, 1992.
The PRMC is charged with the review of all clinical cancer protocols proposed at the University of Vermont and at the University of Vermont Medical Center prior to initiation and on an ongoing basis with the following goals:
- To evaluate the scientific rationale for the protocol.
- To determine that high quality and appropriate clinical trials and statistical design have been incorporated in the protocol.
- To determine that the Informed Consent Form accurately reflects the scientific content of the protocol.
- To determine that appropriate physician and facility resources for performance of the protocol are available.
- To prioritize the protocol based on scientific merit and consideration of other protocols available within the institution.
- To advise the Cancer Center Director on the merits of the protocol for allocation of shared resources.
- To monitor the protocol for serious adverse events.
Clinical research that must be reviewed by the PRMC includes but is not limited to the following:
- Physical interventions for the treatment, staging or diagnosis of cancer or cancer-related problems.
- Interventions to obtain specimens from cancer patients for the sole purpose of performing basic laboratory studies related to cancer.
- Interventions to obtain specimens from normal subjects for the sole purpose of performing basic laboratory research studies related to cancer.
- Use of stored specimens from cancer patients or normal subjects for basic laboratory research related to cancer.
- Physical interventions for the prevention of cancer.
- Physical and non-physical interventions for the determination, management, and study of cancer risk in normal subjects.
- Physical interventions for the detection of cancer in normal subjects.
- Diagnostic tests that affect medical decision-making for the cancer patient.
- Behavioral and nutritional studies that are cancer-related, such as those studies that increase behaviors (e.g., cancer screening, food intake), eliminate or reduce behaviors (e.g., smoking, sun exposure), and/or improve coping and quality of life/reduce the negative effects of treatment.
IRB approval to activate requires compliance with this adopted definition of the scope of the PRMC review process, and requires PRMC approval.
Protocol Submission Criteria and Process
The protocol review process is initiated by the submission of required protocol information to the PRMC by the Principal Investigator (P.I.). The protocol may be submitted simultaneously to the UVM Institutional Review Board (IRB) for review, but cannot be activated until both the IRB and PRMC approve it.
Externally peer-reviewed protocols (NCI or cooperative group) are assigned a single primary reviewer; protocols without external peer review (investigator-initiated protocols or industry protocols) are assigned two primary reviewers. A full copy of the protocol is distributed to each reviewer. Reviewers are usually members of the PRMC; ad hoc reviewers may be recruited to provide special expertise at the discretion of the Chair. All externally peer-reviewed protocols receive directed reviews for resource utilization by the Nursing Service, Pharmacy Service and Data Management Office. All investigator-initiated and industry protocols also receive directed reviews for resource utilization by the Nursing Service, Pharmacy Service and Data Management Office as well as a separate review by the Biostatistics Office. Each primary reviewer completes a "Protocol Checklist" which includes items such as clarity of goals, appropriateness of study design, adequacy of patient population, and relevance to the University of Vermont Cancer Center's goals and importance of study.
The PRMC meets once a month (the second Tuesday of the month) with meetings timed to occur approximately one week before the meeting of the IRB (third Wednesday of the month) so that progress of a protocol through the review system is not unnecessarily delayed. Principal Investigators (PI)may attend the PRMC meeting but are not required to attend for the review to move forward. Each protocol is presented by the reviewer(s) and discussed by the full Committee, followed by a Committee vote. Based upon reviewer(s) comments and those of other members, one of the following recommendations is made: 1) approve, 2) approve with revisions, 3) table, or 4) disapprove. This information is transmitted to the investigator and to the IRB. If a protocol is Approved or Approved with Revisions and it competes with another protocol, a priority (high, moderate or low) is assigned by Committee consensus. The PI is informed in writing of the Committee's action and, if appropriate, member comments. If a protocol is Approved or Disapproved, no response is required. If a protocol is Approved with Revisions or Tabled, a written response is expected. If no response is received within 90 days, the protocol is considered to have been withdrawn. The status of each protocol for which a response is pending is reviewed at each meeting as Old Business. If a protocol has been Approved with Revisions, the PRMC Chair may grant "Interim Approval" immediately upon receipt of a satisfactory response, with Approval being certified at the next PRMC meeting. If a protocol has been Tabled, the response must be reviewed and discussed at the next PRMC meeting before the protocol status is changed.
Once a protocol is approved the investigator is required to update the PRMC with patient registrations, serious adverse events, study closure, and future plans and publications. All of this information is communicated to the Cancer Center's Clinical Research Oversight Committee (CROC). All PRMC meetings are minuted and a master copy is kept in the PRMC file. Minutes are reviewed and approved at the next meeting and are distributed to PRMC members, the IRB, and to the Cancer Center Director.
Any substantive amendment to an ongoing investigator-initiated or industry protocol must be submitted to the PRMC for review and approval. Cooperative group amendments are not reviewed by the PRMC.
Protocol Review Criteria
The criteria for non-peer reviewed protocols are more rigorous than those for externally peer-reviewed protocols. In the case of the latter the focus is whether the protocol competes with an investigator-initiated study and the use of Cancer Center resources. In the case of non-peer reviewed protocols, reviewers are asked to evaluate the protocol goals, study design, background information, eligibility criteria (including inclusion of women and minorities), evaluation criteria, provisions for toxicity and side effects, feasibility of completion, use of nursing data management and pharmacy resources, and Informed Consent Form. Although the Protocol Checklist allows a simple check-off, reviewers are encouraged to provide comments describing any areas of concern. Other members of the PRMC receive a copy of the Lay Summary of the protocol although they may request a full copy for review.
To assist investigators and reviewers alike, the IRB has developed a Human Research Protocol Form (PDF). Failure to follow the Model Protocol format will result in a delay in review (i.e., a study that does not include the required elements will not be reviewed until all elements have been addressed).
As noted above, externally reviewed protocols are assigned one primary reviewer, while investigator-initiated protocols (and industry studies) are assigned two primary reviewers. All investigator-initiated and industry protocols are reviewed by a biostatistician and every protocol must include a statistical considerations section.
All investigator-initiated and industry studies also receive directed reviews for resource utilization i.e. Nursing, Pharmacy and Data Management by representatives of those support services that are on the committee.
Protocol Monitoring
In early 1997 the University of Vermont Cancer Center Clinical Research Oversight Committee (CROC) was charged with responsibility for Data and Safety Monitoring. The CROC is a senior leadership committee.
The Committee adopted the principles of monitoring and data safety as outlined in the NIH Policy for Data and Safety Monitoring, specifically that:
- All clinical trials require monitoring.
- Monitoring should be commensurate with risks.
- Monitoring should be commensurate with the size and complexity of the study.
- Monitoring must be performed on a regular basis, and conclusions of the monitoring reported to the appropriate individuals/groups.
Monitoring activities included the following:
Internal Audits of Investigator-Initiated Studies
The monitoring of the study is the primary responsibility of the investigator. The University of Vermont Cancer Center's CROC reviews internal audits of investigator-initiated trials. The intent of these internal audits is to improve clinical research at UVM/The University of Vermont Medical Center. Please read the attached documents which review the audit process and a sample of an Audit Report which will be given to the PI after the internal audit.
Phase I Studies
Because of the nature of a Phase I study, the monitoring of the study is the primary responsibility of the investigator. Any unexpected/serious adverse event is immediately reported to the IRB, study sponsor, FDA (if appropriate), and the PRC. A Quarterly Data Safety and Monitoring Report form was instituted in 1999 to assist investigators in monitoring Phase I studies.
Phase II Studies
Same as above. Multi-center studies must include a provision for audit.
Phase III Studies
N/A. Phase III studies are beyond the scope of the patient and infrastructure resources of our institution. Phase III studies will be conducted through the cooperative group or similar mechanism.
All studies are monitored for accrual through a mandatory registration system. Investigator-initiated study accrual data is reported quarterly to the PRMC. The CROC reviews all data annually.
Criteria for Early Review
Early protocol review or circumstances that would prompt an early review are:
- Planned interim analysis at specified time points or after reaching specified accrual levels (e.g. interim analysis prior to dose escalation).
- Unexpected/serious adverse events.
- As a result of audit.
- Low (>30% below projected accrual) or Excessive Accrual (>10% above total projected accrual).
In the case of planned interim analysis, the investigator is responsible for notifying the PRMC of the results of the analysis.
Unexpected/serious adverse events must be reported to the PRMC. Upon receipt of notification, the PRMC Chair, depending upon the seriousness of the event, may immediately take action or wait until the next meeting of the Committee.
Early review may also be required following an audit to document corrective action as outlined in the corrective action plan.
Criteria for Termination of Protocol
Criteria for termination of a protocol are the same as those for protocol closure. Protocols may be closed for the following indications:
- Serious unexpected or adverse event(s) may result in protocol suspension or protocol closure.
- Serious (or multiple) deficiencies in study conduct (e.g., lack of informed consent, violation of patient eligibility criteria, failure to report an adverse event(s) in a timely fashion, etc.)
- New data suggesting the active protocol is irrelevant in terms of study objectives and patient benefit.
- Inadequate accrual (> 30% below projected accrual) with little or no likelihood that study's target will be met.
- Excessive accrual (> 10% above the total projected accrual).
- Target accrual and/or study objectives met.
- Principal Investigator leaves institution.

It's apparently mind blowing to some folks that for our first 15+ years, we'd never used Cascade hops in any of our beers. And now, seemingly out of the blue, we've gone and used Cascade in our two most recent beer releases: 2012 Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine and the Bear Republic / Fat Head's / Stone TBA. Interestingly enough, we got a fair amount of (unexpected) reactions at this news. Some people laughed. Others cried. (Not really. At least as far as we know.) Some made conclusions about what they thought the beers would taste like before even trying them. (Hardly unusual.) Though most just happily went to their local craft beer bar or trusty bottle shop, picked one up and thoroughly enjoyed it without knowing or caring that the use of Cascade hops was a new endeavor for us. Cool.
Then we got a few strange comments scattered about our multiple social media channels. This one in particular made us scratch our heads: "Stone using Cascade hops? What the hell? I thought you guys wanted to stay a Cascade free brewery." Wait… what? We never said that. At least that we can recall. Clearly, some folks felt we had some 'splaining to do. Et voilà… here we are.
Let's start back at the beginning, circa 1995. Steve and Greg were working on the recipe for Stone Pale Ale, and they really wanted it to be different from other pale ales of the day. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, which is perhaps the best and most well-known expression of Cascade hops in the craft beer world, was definitely the most prevalent example of a California pale ale at the time. The last thing Steve & GK wanted to do was mimic something that was already in existence, so they decided pretty early on to go in a different direction. And that "different direction" is something we've stuck with. And until recently, that direction hadn't included the wonderful Cascade hop.
I cornered Brewmaster Mitch Steele to get his invaluable insight on the decision to give Cascade a whirl in our whirlpool. Here's what he had to say:
"We're always experimenting, using different hop varieties in one-off batches. For instance, we might brew a pilot batch of Stone IPA and divide it up between 5-gallon carboys, dry-hopping each with a separate hop varietal to see how they affect the flavor profile of the beer. I'd worked with Cascade hops for years in my previous brewing gigs and in several of my homebrews. I've always enjoyed the telltale grapefruit and pine notes that they contribute, and I'm glad that we finally found a way to use some here at Stone."
Tasting the 2012 Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine, the Cascade hops aren't immediately apparent. "We added them in at the end with a blend of Calypso and Chinook," explains Mitch. "The intent was to add some tropical flavors to the beer, not to draw attention to Cascade specifically." But in the case of the Bear Republic / Fat Head's / Stone TBA, the Cascade flavor is much more apparent. "That collaboration was based on an old-school style of homebrew called Texas Brown Ale that relied on a mix of Brewers Gold and Cascade hops, so we were able to make it much more pronounced. And I think it came through beautifully."
As to whether or not we have plans to use Cascade hops in future releases, double dry-hopped variants or other one-off brews, Mitch explained that there's nothing on the books so far, but he'd be all for it. "It's a really nice hop. And when that telltale grapefruit note is 'on', it's really, really nice."

Corey Arnold
Corey Arnold's world straddles two disparate, yet wonderfully integrated, pursuits — he works as both a professional photographer and an Alaskan crab fisherman. Now there's a story. We asked him how his inside perspective on human and animal relationships influences his photographs: 'When I was a kid, I used to stalk birds and other animals with my BB gun in the backyard. My hunter instinct was strong and I'd spend hours searching for victims. Then, after killing something, I was torn by my adrenaline fueled sense of accomplishment and deep sadness for what I had done. The same applied to sport-fishing as a child. The goal was, of course, to seek out and kill the largest, most beautiful fish! At home, I've fathered many pets — cats, snakes, dogs, and rabbits. For some instinctual reason, I'm endlessly curious about animals. I like to be in close quarters with them, whether it be gutting a fish for dinner or letting my cat sleep on my head. The human animal series came along naturally. It's a series of curious animal situations that I've encountered throughout my recent life. This is an ongoing series, an exploration of how we relate to animals, and it covers a broad perspective of events both real and designed. My time at sea as a commercial fisherman has given me a more animal perspective on animals than a human one in some ways. The goal is to make pictures that are sometimes brutal and often ridiculous, which is how I experience our shared world with animals'.

Moscow prosecutors have filed legal action against Russian Channel 2x2 for an episode airing this past January. The legal eagle Muscovites want the "extremist" Cartman, Stan and Kyle off the air.
The episode which sent these Russians into a furor was the hilari-fest Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics.
Spokes-cossack for the prosecutor's office, Valentina Titova stated, "In accordance with the conclusions made by experts from the court investigations committee, a claim has been filed against 2x2 for its broadcast of an episode of South Park.
"It offends the honor and dignity of Christians and Muslims alike.
"It could just have easily included Jews, Scientologists, Catholics, Mormons and Moonies all of whom have been mercilessly targeted by American series."
Well, d'oh - that's the point. It's called Making Fun of Hypocrisy with a capital H for Hankey.
Wonder if Trey Parker and Matt Stone will lampoon Ms. Titova in next year's Yuletide spectacular, Christmas Time in Siberia?

"Star Wars Episode VII" Audition Tapes
Following up on Lisa's Star Wars 7 Rumor Roundup from yesterday, Conan O'Brien has been running these Episode VII 'audition tapes' from various directors. Some of them are extremely hilarious, yet I would love to see how Lars Von trier would do a Star Wars movie.
Kevin Smith:
Woody Allen:
Wes Anderson
Michael Moore:
Todd Philip
and my favorite the Infamous horror director Tom Six, make of one of the most absurde movies ever The Human Centipede:

When Nancy Laboz was little, she played "office" with antique receipt boxes and constructed villages for her pom-pom dolls. Today she creates fantasies for her customers at Parcel, her whimsical Montclair, N.J., shop. Launched two years ago as a custom-stationery and paper-goods store, Parcel has since evolved into a celebration of nostalgia.
"I try to think of what I do at my shop as inspiring," says Nancy, "like I'm sprinkling a little fairy dust on people's home decorating."
There are vintage-style papers and ribbons as well as antique toys, retro party supplies, and drawers of wood game pieces, plastic charms, and all manner of vintage trim, including tiny felt flowers.
Inspired by the retro graphics of 1940s flashcards and Rat Pack-era cocktail menus, Parcel's custom-designed stationery is printed in luscious colors, then paired with heavy-stock envelopes with embossed liners.
Nancy displays colorful spools of vintage ribbon and seam binding from an 18th-century French bottle-drying rack, and she has baskets of old satin dog-show ribbons. While you're there, pluck a 25-cent malted milk ball from one of the old-fashioned candy jars, explore the drawers of antique wallpaper, and sort through cubbies chock full of 1930s rubber stamps and chunky game pieces from vintage anagram sets.
Fit to be tied "Wrapping a present should be as much a part of the giving as the contents of the package," says Nancy. While she loves new papers, Nancy wraps boxes in everything from wallpaper scraps to kraft paper. She then adds unexpected flourishes--an old Crackerjack prize, a vintage button, an oak-leaf gift tag, or a hot pink rock-candy swizzle stick. Nancy has also been known to spell out a gift recipient's name in Scrabble tiles and to top packages with millinery fruit and glittery dime-store tiaras.

The People's advice on how to prepare for the 1911 census
In the lead up to the 2011 census on Sunday 27 March, we've been looking at The People newspaper from Sunday 2 April 1911 – the day that the 1911 census was taken.
In an article named 'Numbering Nobs', the paper informs readers about the different census questions, the problems they could pose and offers tips on completing the form.
Directed at the head of the household, the article stresses the importance of filling in all the questions: 'any evasion is treated with the severest penalties'. Slightly menacingly, the paper goes on to state that, 'No one, however great or however insignificant, can escape the census'.
On the issue of how to approach potentially sensitive questions when filling in the census, the article uses the example of a cook who is separated from her husband. The head of the household is advised to 'postpone his questions till after dinner – otherwise the dinner may be spoiled.'
Here you can see a 1911 census return which suggests that the head of this household didn't read The People's advice on how to fill in the form:
The article also mentions the suffragettes, saying 'the avowed determination of the suffragists to withhold all information about themselves is likely to lead to considerable friction in some quarters.' It goes on to say that 'the more hardy' protesters would probably spend the night in Trafalgar Square. We know all about one famous suffragette's whereabouts on census night – Emily Davison spent the night hiding in the House of Commons.
It's fascinating to read about how the nation prepared for the 1911 census. Perhaps in another 100 years, future generations will be doing the same with the 2011 census.

The Hilltoppers will appear on the Big Ten Network for the second time in program history, with their last and lone previous appearance coming on Sept. 18, 2010 when they hosted Indiana to open up the home portion of their 2010 schedule.
With its game at Illinois scheduled for the Big Ten Network, WKU now has seven of its 12 regular-season games slated for national television in 2014, which also includes its season opener versus Bowling Green on Aug. 29 (CBS SN), Sept. 27 at Navy (CBS SN), Nov. 1 at Louisiana Tech (Fox TBA), Nov. 15 versus Army (CBS SN), Nov. 22 versus UTSA (Fox TBA) and Nov. 28 at Marshall (Fox Sports 1).
Dating back to the 2011 season, the Hilltoppers have appeared on television in 28 consecutive games, and games on the 2014 schedule may still be picked up for broadcast in the future with those games and networks released as soon as they are finalized. Per television standards, networks and times for the Hilltopper games airing on the Fox networks will be announced 12 days prior to kick-off.

- How to Read a Study Record
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection causes different disease spectrum ranging from minimal progressive liver disease to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Evidence indicates that host genetic factor may play a role in determining disease progression. It is known that many cytokine polymorphisms affect disease progressin via increasing hepatic fibrosis that are key factors in progressing liver injury. By combinations of fibrosis-relating gene polymorphisms, this study aims to identify patients with high risk for progressive liver disease. These patients need intensive therapy to decrease morbidity and mortality of chronic HCV-related liver disease.

Syndergaard leaves game with left shoulder injury
Mets RHP prospect Noah Syndergaard left Thursday night's game with Triple-A Las Vegas after experiencing left shoulder discomfort resulting from a tag play at home plate.
"The results of precautionary X-rays are pending," the team said in an e-mail.
2:37 p.m.: Syndergaard has a sprain of his non-throwing shoulder, according to team beat reporter Adam Rubin (ESPN, June 6).
Syndergaard has allowed 27 earned runs on 62 hits in 54 1/3 innings, with 57 strikeouts and 19 walks, this season in Triple-A.
"He was fighting to save a run, but you don't want your pitchers diving into home plate like that because stuff like that can happen," manager Wally Backman said after the game (Las Vegas Review-Journal, June 5).
It was Syndergaard's first appearance since returning from the disabled list for a flexor tendon strain in his right forearm.
"My arm feels great," Syndergaard said Tuesday (Las Vegas Review-Journal, June 2). "There was just a little bit of elbow pain, very minor, going on a couple weeks ago. But with a lot of elbow injuries happening in professional baseball, they hear about elbow pain and kind of freak out a little bit. "They just wanted to make sure. "I feel like the injury kind of set me back a little bit."

There are usually two main factors that you would look into if you would want to have an Online Backup Manchester company. If you are able to compare all your vendors by these two factors, you may be able to come up with a decision that allows you to have the best online backup Manchester team at your disposal.
Here are the two sticking points that you should reflect on, before coming up with a decision regarding your IT support choice.
When it comes to capabilities, there are two things that an Online Backup Manchester company could be. The first is that they could be a great personal online backup provider. This simply means that they would be able to store your personal files such as the documents or databases that you have typed. This is great if you are a one person company/user and would not have any need for a wider solution.
The other kind of provider that an online backup Manchester company could be would be an enterprise online backup provider. If you are a large corporation, a medium enterprise or even a small business, then perhaps you should look into It support companies who are able to specialize in this.
This is because an enterprise service means that they would be able to cater to a more business audience. They would have more adequate security, delivery options, and other features that would definitely suit any kind of business well.
Of course you should also inquire about the price of the various offerings of your Online Backup Manchester Company. You should be able to see that the number of features that they have on their services is able to justify the price that they are selling it to you. Usually, the more feature packed a service is, the higher the price that you would need to pay for it.
However, always remember that having a high price doesn't automatically mean that the Online backup Manchester is any good, they may be just overpricing some of their services. Similarly, you should know that there are some reputable online backup services that you may be able to use for an inexpensive price. You should just learn to negotiate and find a service that suits your needs.
Mailsure IT ensures that our capabilities and price will definitely live up to your company's stringent requirements.

The end of 2011 wasn't that exciting. If you didn't notice, things around here got real slow, I wasn't feeling much of anything I heard. Retreating to the depths of my crates and the comfort of reclusiveness wasn't the best solution but perhaps a necessary break. With the year fully underway and new music flowing, a vigor for doing this has begun to develop once more.
The vanishing act performed had me neglecting Burn One and Dibiase's Presidential Mix Series, unlike me however they aren't wavering in their dedication, hitting us with the first volume of the new year, number eight for those counting.
PRESIDENTIAL 8 SIDE A by fivepoints
Tributes to Screw, the south, double time flows, weed and drank all pop up. They bring in chopped and screwed tracks next to regular jams and jump era's and logical connections for a feeling, always keeping the mix smooth and stoned with just enough high energy tracks to keep the weed nap at bay.
Presidential 8 SIDE B by TheMillionDollarDJ
The Presidential Mix Series is just one of many things Burn One did in 2011 to keep his name in my and many others ears. He gave us one of the best modern instrumental projects in The Ashtray, he dropped countless mixtapes with up and coming rappers all of which featured at least a handful of his tracks, some of which featured almost exclusive Burn One country rap beats. The Five Points sounds is lively and exciting, it's a beautiful evolution and one of many sounds I can't wait to see expand into more people's consciousness in the coming months.
Going forward watch for changes around this place as well. Members Only is a record label and we want to push this fact into every facet of our existence. I've attempted to walk a fine line with this here site, generally forgoing much in depth coverage of anything related to our team. This may have led to some great content and documentation of other realms but it is our site and it should represent us as well. Don't worry, I'm still going to be around here posting the latest things that have caught my ear (including vinyl from my crates, shouts out to Pomz for putting it so simply that I can't deny finding a way to introduce wax to the discussion) and hopefully a few more voices will begin to introduce themselves as well.
Tomorrow we will start our 2011 year in review coverage. I don't want to hear anything about it being a week into the new year and we are too late. Sometimes things take time and I'm proud of what we have to present and who all we got involved to help us make it happen is a beautiful thing. Musical collaborations are always exciting for the audience, in 2012 I want to find more ways to collaborate with words.
