Phase 1
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Safety Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Phase 1, Open-label, Dose-escalation Study of SNX 5422 Plus Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Subjects With Selected Solid Tumors.
- Number of patients with dose limiting toxicities [ Time Frame: First 28 day cycle ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Number of patients with dose-limiting toxicities defined as adverse events or laboratory abnormalities of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03 ≥ Grade 3 after commencing study treatment that are not clearly related to disease progression
- Number of patients with adverse events as a measure of tolerability [ Time Frame: Day 28 of each cycle ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Frequency and severity of adverse events
- Changes in ECG, vital signs, laboratory or physical examination [ Time Frame: Day 28 of each cycle ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Changes in ECG, vital signs pr physical or laboratory examinations from baseline
- Tumor response [ Time Frame: Every 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Tumor response using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria (version 1.0) assessed by CT scan (or MRI) when combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel and for SNX-5422 when given alone during the maintenance part.
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|November 2013
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|September 2016
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|April 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: SNX-5422
Open label administration of SNX-5422 capsules every other day (QOD) for 21 days of a 28 day cycle. Dose escalation will be based on safety outcomes defined as 1 or less dose limiting toxicities during the first 28 day cycle at any dose level. During the dose escalation phase, subjects will receive carboplatin and paclitaxel once every 21 days for a total of 4 courses. During the maintenance phase, SNX-5422 at the MTD will be dosed every other day (QOD) for 21 days of a 28 day cycle.
Drug: SNX-5422
Capsule dosed every other day for 21 days out of a 28 day cycle. Dose escalation based on safety. Maintenance doses at the maximum tolerated dose.
Detailed Description:
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) chaperone proteins stabilize well over 200 different known client proteins helping them to fold correctly as they take up their rightful positions in the cell. Inhibitors of the chaperone protein Hsp90 are of current interest because of the central role of Hsp90 in the maturation and maintenance of numerous proteins that are critical for tumor cell viability and growth. SNX-5422 is a pro-drug of SNX-2112, a potent, highly selective, small-molecule inhibitor of the molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). The study will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SNX-5422 when combined with carboplatin plus paclitaxel in selected solid tumors and assess the safety and efficacy of SNX-5422 alone dosed at the MTD as maintenance therapy in selected solid tumors treatment.

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Jack Bauer spent it giving ladies the shocker (pictured above). Mine consisted of book shelving, cheap wine, and witnessing a midget dressed as Britney Spears strip to her underwear (Lil Wayne concert = worth the money). Tonight, House cares for a special ed teacher, and 24 heats up with Bauer starting to make his moves against the bad guys he's currently working for (crossing my fingers for a terrorist attack!). One of the greatest/funniest/golfiest movies of all time is also on tonight. More after the jump.
Last week, the team takes the case of a suicidal man who suffers from severe chronic pain–much like House. Tonight, House takes care of a special ed teacher who collapses in class.
Last week, the terrorists started to get antsy as Jack and Tony faked Agent Walker's death. Tonight, Pres. Taylor must decide to cooperate with terrorists as Bauer conconcts a bold plan to protect America.

Region: Italy, Lombardy
Category: Pasta with Fowl
Season: Winter
Difficulty: Easy
In Lombardy and other northern regions of Italy duck hunting is popular and earthy and rustic pasta dishes are common. This preparation can also be made with chicken livers which are easier to procure. Its a dish I make about once a year, usually in the winter, by which time Ive collected the duck livers required from previous dinners. I keep them well-wrapped in the freezer. The most important thing to know about this preparation is that the gizzards and liver must be cooked separately and the livers are not cooked for more than 2 minutes.
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Preparation Time: 40 minutes
¼ cup brown lentils
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium zucchini, diced
4 duck gizzards and hearts, thinly sliced while still partially frozen
4 duck livers, thinly sliced while still partially frozen
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¾ pound whole-wheat penne rigate
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basilWater as needed
1. Put the lentils in a saucepan and cover with water. Turn the heat to high and once they are tender in 20 to 25 minutes drain and set aside.
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil with the garlic over medium-high heat until sizzling, then add the zucchini and gizzards, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the zucchini is soft and the gizzards are tender, about 8 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, bring 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil over high heat, salt abundantly, then add the pasta in handfuls. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally so the pasta doesn't stick, until al dente. Drain without rinsing.
4. Add the livers and basil to the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the liver loses any pinkness. Deglaze the skillet with 3 tablespoons water while stirring then toss with the pasta and serve hot.
Note: Chicken livers can be used in place of duck livers.

Safety board: Waikele bunker blast was preventable
Sparks from hand truck, chair rolling over powder; static from garbage bags may have caused explosion
Five men died in a bunker explosion in Waikele on April 8, 2011, and now the government says the tragedy could have been prevented.
"This tragedy should have never come to pass and these workers should be alive today," said Dr. Rafael Moure-Eraso, chairman of the U.S. Chemical Safety Board.
Donaldson Enterprises, Inc. was hired by a government contractor to dispose of illegal fireworks confiscated by the federal government.
DEI employees were working in a hillside storage bunker when an explosion and fire occurred killing the five men.
A CSB report released Thursday revealed DEI altered its disposal plan by taking the fireworks apart.
Investigators say that activity allowed black powder to fall on the ground, creating a fire hazard.
"While many ignition sources are possible, we believe the ignition scenario includes a spark generated by the movement of a metal hand truck, which was used to move boxes in and out of the magazine, friction from an office chair located inside the magazine rolling over powder on the floor and static from plastic garbage bags that contained the black powder" said CSB investigator Amanda Johnson.
The CSB says there are no national, state or local regulations dictating how fireworks should be safely disposed.
That's why the board is asking the National Fire Protection Association to develop standards on the safest way to dispose fireworks.
Recommendations from the report also include tighter oversight on anyone the government contracts and a thorough background check.
The CSB approved the report and recommendations. Now, it is up to each individual government agency receiving the recommendations to implement them.

Four Swiss films supported abroad
by Emmanuel Cuénod
Since 2007, the Swiss Confederation has supported the distribution of Swiss films abroad. Distribution companies releasing Swiss works in their territories can thus receive up to 30,000 Swiss francs per film and per country.
During the last session for aid in the matter, Switzerland handed out about 81,000 francs to the foreign distributors of Markus Imboden's Der Verdingbub [+see also:
film profile] (for its German release), Christoph Schaub's Nachtlärm [+see also:
film review
film focus
film profile] (for its Austrian release), Ruedi Gerber's Breath Made Visible (for France), and Alice Schmid's Die Kinder vom Napf (for its release in Denmark and in the Netherlands).
The next session to allocate aid for distribution is to be held next September.

The five-man amoeba works the slide step like a quintet of ballroom dancers. Two out front, three behind, gliding back and forth across the width of the court, like they�re mopping the floor. Their arms are longer than a summer day in Alaska. If any of the five is shorter than 6-foot-4, it�s an accident.
We see them every winter, and every winter they look the same. There isn�t a book on how they play defense. There is an anthology. Their 2-3 zone is an easy puzzle, yet not many solve it. On Saturday night, Michigan will be the latest to try.
The Syracuse 2-3 is quite possibly the most effective weapon in team sports.
Kids playing CYO ball know what a zone defense is. They learn how to attack it: Pierce the zone, pass the ball, shoot it. Score. Stick a tall, smart player in the high post, someone who can shoot but, more importantly, can make the correct pass. Get ahead later in the game, neutralize the zone.
Any team can do that.
Why don�t more succeed?
�He recruits to it,�� UC coach Mick Cronin said Friday. �He�� being Orange coach Jim Boeheim. �He does not recruit small guards. He doesn�t play three guards. His three man (small forward) is 6-7 or bigger at all times.��
For the record, Syracuse�s backcourt is 6-4 Brandon Triche and 6-6 Michael Carter-Williams. The �three�� is C.J. Fair, who is 6-8. Their wingspans are 747-ish. If octopi could play ball. . .
Three years ago, UC went to Syracuse, made 13 three-pointers, �and we never had a chance,�� said Cronin. �We were 4-for-24 inside�� the three-point line. �You shoot jumpers, that�s what they want. You�ve got to be able to score from 15 feet in. If you can�t, you�re not going to beat them.
�It�s like this: If you�re constantly putting from four to six feet, and I�m putting from 15 to 20, you�re going to beat me, eventually.��
The most recent clinic came in the regional last week. Syracuse wrapped its length around top seed Indiana. The Hoosiers came in as the most efficient quasi-amateur hoops team in the land. They could pass, they had good shooters. They had a dynamic zone buster, 6-5 Victor Oladipo. They were never in the game.
Indiana had 18 turnovers and shot 33 percent in its 61-50 loss. Its starting guards, Jordan Hulls and Yogi Ferrell, were a combined 0-for-8. �You could see it coming,�� Cronin said. The problem was, Hulls and Ferrell are both 6-footers. The amoeba swallowed them whole.
Cronin said the way Boeheim coaches the 2-3 makes it even more impenetrable. �He concedes the baseline,�� Cronin explained. The back three in the zone allow foes five feet out from the baseline. If you try to exploit that gap by passing to it, �they trap you with two monsters. If they�re late getting there, they�ll block the shot,�� said Cronin.
(By the way, the UC coach is very, very good explaining the game. He merits a shot in the halftime chair occupied by Villanova�s Jay (GQ) Wright. Wright looks fantastic but doesn�t add much to the general knowledge. Maybe Mick should mix in some suits with matching pocket squares.)
Even if the Orange are too late to trap and also miss the block opportunity, their inside size changes shots. With the baseline ignored and the zone extended, good shots become hard to find. That�s when the psychology of the zone kicks in.
Cronin: �It takes so much effort, constantly cutting inside and back out, just to get a shot. If you miss it, that�s where it really affects you psychologically.�� Ask Marquette.
So if the 2-3 is such a game changer, why don�t more teams embrace it?
�If you get up on them and the game is in the last five minutes, they don�t know what to do. They�ve got to come after you,�� said Cronin. �That�s not their comfort zone.�� Any zone slows down the game. When you�re behind, you want more possessions, not fewer.
Cronin said Michigan has a good chance Saturday. Glenn Robinson III, Nik Stauskas and Tim Hardaway Jr. all are 6-6. Cronin believes Robinson has the all-around game needed to fill the crucial high post spot. Underneath, 6-10 Mitch McGary gets better every game. We haven�t even mentioned Michigan�s hottest player, point guard Trey Burke.
The 2-3 will be tested. It has already passed twice in the last two weeks, against Indiana and Marquette. It�s the best weapon in team sports, until proven otherwise.

Blogging about Nina, what is more fun than that except I can't put into words adequately how much she brightens our days! As every toddler does, but something "special" about Nina- that exuberence, that giggle, that look when she's mad "the gorilla face"! Her spunk! Her cbubbiness! Her detmination. Her mad dash to the xylophone and constant asking for bubbles with signs and "buhbuhbuh". I feel lucky and happy and I think she's the cutest thing. Alec just started kindergarten, yesterday, and seems to really like playing with her now. And feels so special when she tickles him and tries to get his attention. I see their bond growing and she's not even 2 yet! so much more to come...

The county was named for John McPherson Berrien, a Savannah lawyer who served variously as a judge, including the Supreme Court of Georgia, a state senator, a United States senator, and the United States attorney general under President Andrew Jackson.
The county seat of Berrien County is Nashville, which was incorporated in 1892. Other incorporated towns in the county are Alapaha, Enigma, and Ray City.
Alapaha was incorporated in 1881 on the site of a Seminole village with the same name. Its city hall is located in the old Alapaha Station, the former depot for the new defunct Brunswick and Albany Railroad. Some believe that Alapaha was the Creek word for "other side"; others believe it was the word Timucuan Indians used for "bear." The Alapaha Station Celebration occurs the second weekend of each November.
Enigma was incorporated in 1906. Histories of the town's name are apocryphal, and so as one source opined, the name remains an enigma. The Georgia writer Harry Crews used Enigmas as the setting for his first novel, The Gospel Singer (1968).
Ray City was incorporated in 1909 as Ray's Mill. The white settlement dates to 1863, when locals knew it as Rays Pond. The current name was adopted in 1915, after the town was moved to the railroad junction.
Four Buildings in Berrien County are on the National Register of Historic Places; the courthouse, the Alapaha Colored School, the old Berrien County Jail, and the William G. Harrison/Eulalie Taylor House.
The economy of Berrien County is very diverse. Agriculture remains a valuable component of the economy; however, we are home to several manufacturing plants. Our community also plays host to several unique retail shops and eateries.

Panettone French Toast
10 comments:
I love panettone and french toast. This looks divine! Every year I think about making it but we eat all the panettone before I can make french toast with it! This year I will buy two, one for eating and one for french toast, or maybe I will make the panettone. Thanks for the inspiration.ReplyDelete
How weird, I've never heard of panettone before, I had to google that! I do love sweet bread though, and now I am hoping that someone will send me some for christmas.ReplyDelete
This definitely rings of the holidays! Love the panettone - adds depth.ReplyDelete
Uhhhh Ohhhh how not to love this! Panettone and french toast all in one? I have to propose it to my brunch partners!ReplyDelete
I keep seeing the panettone boxes in the italian grocery store and have been so tempted to get one. Now I have a good reason to get one (other than just eating it :))ReplyDelete
Boy, does your French toast look incredible!ReplyDelete
Mmmmm I LOVE Panettone and using it for French Toast is soooo good. Panettone French Toast is the best kind of French Toast! Yours looks delicious :)ReplyDelete
Oh this looks so tasty. Takes my love of french toast to a new level. ;)ReplyDelete
Fabulous use of that holiday traditionReplyDelete
What a GREAT idea!ReplyDelete

A brief but intense stay? Ouarzazate is the ideal destination for answering the call of the desert and, also the call of the valleys, the adobe fortresses, the oases…
Ever since Lawrence of Arabia was shot there in 1962, Ouarzazate has been a top spot for filming. The vicinity is full of surreal scenery: steeples, Roman temples, Egyptian statues, a Tibetan temple and even the temple of Jerusalem in full-size! Ouarzazate really thumbs its nose at the course of time!
The Taourit kasbah, situated less than 2km to the east of Ouarzazate, is considered to be the most beautiful adobe building in Morocco for its proportions and exquisite decoration. In the Tiffoultoute kasbah, where some scenes of Lawrence of Arabia were shot, take a break on the terrace often full of storks' nests. The vista is unforgettable. The ruins of the towers of the Tasmela kasbah are, too, covered with storks' nests.
When the sun seems to dominate the area, there are still oases and fertile valleys which allow life to flourish. The Fint oasis, an hour's drive from Ouarzazate, is splendid, nestled in a green rift dotted with kitchen gardens and palm trees. The green DrГўa Valley, an hour and a half from Ouazazate, is lined with palm groves with ancient watchtowers overhanging them. Magic.
Even for a short stay, Ouarzazate is able to satisfy your most urgent needs for a change of scenery. Natural or cardboard, the scenery will always hold surprises for you!

From all states in the Union, people come to Pikesville, NC, to choose from more than 80 different retail pork offerings by Nahunta Pork Center. On average, each customer will carry out more than 50 pounds of fresh pork. One of the few marketing rules broken by Nahunta is "location, location, location." It is located at a county intersection in North Carolina, in the heart of the most rapidly growing and technologically advanced region of swine production in the world. Nahunta Pork Center, on the surface, reminds one of simpler times when people frequented neighborhood markets and supported community merchants. On a deeper level, Nahunta Pork epitomizes two fundamental premises on marketing – uncomprising customer service and production and marketing flexibility.
Mack Pierce began raising hogs as breeding stock, but he always wanted to get into the slaughter business. In 1955, he began slaughtering hogs and selling the pork on a custom basis to individuals. In the 1960s, Pierce began selling whole carcass hogs to local grocers. In 1975, he opened a retail outlet in a converted bulk tobacco barn. During the first week three hogs were processed for retail sale. They were sold out in a matter of hours, and Nahunta Pork was off and running. The original tobacco barn is still a part of Nahunta Pork Center as it exists today. In 1984, 10,500 hogs were processed. By 1992, this had grown to 23,000, and by 1999, the number had expanded to 40,000 hogs per year.
Currently, Nahunta Pork Center owns no hogs. They are purchased from both large and small local producers. Delivery time is scheduled in consideration to the size of hogs needed. Hogs are priced from the Iowa/southern Minnesota quotes for the day, although producers often receive a premium mark-up as well. Nahunta prefers to purchase lighter colored hogs because they pick and clean better than either durocs or hamps.
Purchased hogs are brought directly to a holding facility connected to the slaughter plant. Hogs may weigh from 80-pound roasters to 400-pound sows. The holding facility is spacious, extraordinarily clean and bedded with wood shavings. Hogs are provided full feed and water. There are two beneficial aspects of this seemingly routine setup. First, the holding period greatly reduces stress on the hogs. Second, since every hog is slaughtered on demand, the needed size of hog will be readily available. If an order for roaster pigs comes in, the lightest weight pigs can be slaughtered. If the demand for sausage is heavy, more sows are selected to meet that demand.
The packing plant is a relatively standard configuration. The present capacity of 170 head per day is due to cooler capacity limitations. One unique feature of the plant is that it is fully finished in stainless steel, which Pierce estimates would add $1.5 million to the cost of a similar sized plant. The stainless steel is not required by HACCP, but adds to the ease of cleaning and contributes to the extraordinarily high quality of the operation. It is estimated that the current replacement cost of all the facilities at Nahunta Pork would be $10-15 million.
The slaughter operation requires 10 employees. They are expected to arrive at the plant at 5 a.m. and remain until the necessary hogs are slaughtered. This ties into the "just-in-time" aspect of the production. Costs of slaughter are approximately $20 per head. Processing, which includes smoking and cooking, is $20 per head and cost of retailing, which includes final cutting, wrapping, labeling and customer service, is about $20 per head. Total employment averages 70, with an annual payroll of $1.6 million.
As a quality standard, no pork is sold at Nahunta Pork Center as fresh product that is more than 48-56 hours after slaughter or 36 hours out of the packing plant cooler. After that time limit, the meat is frozen and discounted 30 to 50 cents per pound. Another unique aspect of marketing is that no empty space is allowed to show at any time during sales hours. This is done so customers will not feel like the case has been picked over.
Country cured hams (30,000 per year) are a significant part of the operation, comprising 25 per cent of total sales. The salting process takes five weeks with each ham hand rubbed with salt three times. Hams are hung in an 81-degree Fahrenheit room with 50-60 per cent humidity for an average of five to six months. They are treated with sodium nitrate to protect against trichinae, so they may be eaten uncooked. There are between 200 and 300 hams on display at all times. Currently 75 per cent of all hams are sold as sliced product to reflect changes in customer preference and lifestyle. The seasonal increase in demand for hams in November and December requires the stockpiling of hams from February to April.
Sausage is another major product at Nahunta, with an average of 10,000 to 15,000 pounds sold per week. However, in peak seasonal demand, it may sell as much as 30,000 to 40,000 pounds per week. Nahunta offers two basic types of sausage: Italian and English. Both are offered in either mild or hot varieties.
When asked about advice for pork producers who wanted to move up the market channel, the owners of Nahunta recommended growers start at farmers markets rather than investing in a formal retail outlet. This allows the producer to become acquainted with customers, discover their preferences and build a solid base before making investments. Nahunta has been in business for 44 years, and it is unrealistic to immediately develop a market of its size. Mack Pierce says he has opened his doors to 20 individuals attempting to replicate the Nahunta Pork Center. He knows of only one company in existence, and it has been restructured twice. Four traits succinctly characterize Nahunta Pork Center operations: specialization; product flow management and responsiveness; product quality; and customer service.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- One family slept at Coolray Field overnight. Others lined up at 8 a.m.
But by the time church volunteers began at 1 p.m. giving away food to people struggling in the community, the lines crept down local streets and interstates, bringing traffic to a halt in much of northern Gwinnett Saturday.
Coupled with last-minute shoppers at the nearby Mall of Georgia, the 12Stone Church program to feed 6,000 families created a reported hour and a half backup on I-85.
"Apparently, the word spread farther and faster and broader than we expected," said church financial officer Norwood Davis, adding that the church ran out of food at 4 p.m. and had to turn thousands away. "It overwhelmed our expectations."
The response to the goodwill offering overwhelmed a church that typically has no logistical problem with shepherding 12,000 worshippers to and from services each weekend.
Michael Turner, who lives off Rock Springs Road just a mile from the baseball stadium, said traffic jams had never reached that level -- not during Gwinnett Braves home games or on the mall's biggest shopping days.
"It took my wife 50 minutes to go less than three miles," he said. "I was thinking it had to be an accident. ... Black Friday wasn't this bad."
Despite the inconvenience, Turner praised the church for its efforts, which gave families faced with unemployment a week's worth of groceries, a HoneyBaked ham or turkey, four tickets to a G-Braves game and "Christmas is Love" CD. The outreach, worth $1 million in goods and services was funded through corporate partners as well as a special offering collected by the congregation.
A year ago, the church had a similar event distributing groceries to 5,000 families, and some food was left over to be donated to food banks, Davis said.
"It is a sign of the times," he said of the overwhelming need. "You never want to turn people away but we're just excited to offer a small piece of hope to 6,000 families this Christmas."

As a family with both parents out of work for the last four months and unable to find a job it seemed a real blessing that someone would offer food and gifts so urgently needed this time of year. Unfortunatly as so often happens the greedy want to take advantage of the situation. That apeared to be the case today while waiting in line and seeing brand new high end cars with 90 day temp tags lined up as well for a free handout. Shame on you!!! Perhaps the event would have been better served if vouchers were given to those that actually qualified for the need to keep the heartless vultures from stealing from those in need.

I think it great that 12 Stone Chruch wanted to give away free hams to 6000 unemployed folks. This was, in my opinion, a well intentioned event but suffered from poor execution. I was stuck in traffic for over over two hours trying to make it back to my house from the grocery store. My sister-in-law was stuck in traffic for four housrs trying to make it from Sugarloaf PKWY to Buford Drive. I said abut every four letter word I could think of because I was so frustrated.
Gwinnett Police were on the scene but it appeared to me that they had no plan in place to deal with the traffic. Most of the officers I observed were scrambling to get in place and were left scratching their head. Gwinnett Special Operations Motorcycle Officers eventually showed up but they had no plan either. It was pure gridlock. Gwinnett PD did the best they could but they were very unprepared. They had no traffic cones, no plan, no organiaztion and as a result severl hundred or more Gwinnett County Residents couldn't make it back to their homes.
The people who showed up for the free hams probably spent more money on gasoline for their idling cars than they would have if they had just gone to the grocery store in their own neigborhood and purchased hams themselves.
Next year 12 Stone Church ought to have people pre-register online for food vouchers. They could them mail them the voucher or send out chruch vans full of hams to designated areas of the state.
p.s. what I meant to say above was that the gwinnett pd officers on the scene did the best they could with what they were faced with. The department as a whole and the incident commadner for this event were extremely unprepared for this amount of traffic. They should have had a plan that included cones, lane re-allocation, dozens more officers, and an overall traffic flow plan.
Also, 12-Stone should maybe ask for pre-regestriations and then stagger thier arrival times so as not to create a cluster F!@#.
MaryHendrix 3 years, 9 months ago
I agree. We could not even get out of our neighborhood. Maybe next year have it at the Church. Alot more room for people to drive in and out. Have people sign up for vouchers and figure out how to give to the needy and not the greedy. Or give to the food banks and let the people go there over a 2 week period. Something has got to change, its not fair to the people to live around the stadium to have to deal with the gridlock, and especially the last weekend before Christmas. Poor planning for sure!!
DMPeairs 3 years, 9 months ago
Actually 2,800 vouchers were handed out in advance to those who signed up and they picked their food up at the Church while 3,200 were offered to all single moms and unemployed family in need on a first come first served basis at the Gwinnett Braves Stadium. It was didvided up in 2 different locations.

Michael Buckelew 3 years, 9 months ago
I got held up for a little bit miles down Ga. 20, but this sounds like it was well worth the jam. Kudos to 12Stone.
Braveshopr 3 years, 9 months ago
Kwilly, I was out that way also and noted 2 new caddies, a Lexis, several shiny new Coopers and Kias, just from my vantage point. But the worst offenders were the new F150's and large trucks that actually made their own lane on the feeder road, then barreled/pushed their way onto waiting people who had been there before them. I also noted license plates from Fulton, and several other counties. I saw a man from Hall County with a sticker on his car that said 'retired' . I feel for the retired folks, but he was driving a new shiny black truck, so there wasn't much empathy for him, especially since he chose to block an entire lane attempting to push his truck on to the right lane, where there were at least 4000 thousand cars that had been waiting in that lane prior to him. I also saw a lot of needy and wished I could help them personally. As to, 12 Stone Church cannot accommodate everyone- they should limit their giving to Lawrenceville residents first, then the disabled, and sadly, ask those sporting Caddies and such to just go home. If they were truly needy they can sell their shiny new cars.
ThomasPaine 3 years, 9 months ago
I was also stuck in this mess. Jammed Lawrenceville-Suwanee, jammed I-85 north, jammed Horizon, Satellite was a parking lot -- and all of this is nowhere near Coolray. Seriously, 12Stone? You burned a lot of community good will.
R 3 years, 9 months ago
Sorry - but your namesake is rolling in his grave right now ...
Braveshopr 3 years, 9 months ago
(from my earlier post, a correction: 12 Stone should limit their giving to Gwinnette County.)
ThomasPaine - From what I gather 12 Stone Church did not have any way to anticipate how many people would show up. They actually had food left over last year according to a previous post. So please don't blame them. I live off of Old Peachtree Rd. and even that was jammed. If they do this again they will likely have to make some adjustments. Meanwhile, their work was needed and appreciated 5 to 6 thousand times, minus the greedy ones who should have never been there in the first place.
tajusaf 3 years, 9 months ago
Speaking as a fellow Gwinnett County resident along with 12 Stone Church, I want to express my (trying to keep things positive as it is a church) sincere disgust with yesterday's traffic chaos and boondoggle of an effort to create goodwill. Mr. 12 Stone, you have just created more bad will with your community than you can ever imagine. My family and I sat on I-85 N. for over two hours without moving. This mad me two hours late for a funeral ceremony. Next time, if 12 Stone really wants to do something to help the community - PUT OUT JIFFY JOHNNY'S ALONG I-85 BEFORE YOU MAKE THE MOST BONE-HEADED CHURCH MOVE SINCE JESUS HIMSELF WAS RESURRECTED!
ckauz 3 years, 9 months ago
After reading some of these comments I can't believe how selfish some people are. A few hours of traffic didn't destroy your life. Stop and think for a minute about the good that 12Stone did for 6,000 people in Gwinnett County. Think about those who don't have a job right now, think about those who are facing Foreclosure, Think about those that can't afford gifts for their children, and now can have a Christmas Meal for their Families. We all know that on any day of the week in the strangest areas a traffic problem can happen. You have to be prepared for that. For those who are complaining that they saw "Rich People" or "Expensive Cars" in line... DId you not stop and think for one second that MAYBE these people could have been helping out a friend in need. Driving them to this to help them out.

And to those of us that can no longer have a nice Christmas dinner because we now have to replace gas that we wasted sitting in the mess??? Do you consider OUR dinner unimportant?

Observers seeing the high end vehicles at this event reminds me of many of the SNAP recipients at the grocery store leaving the grocery store in their high dollar rides.
Dawgz 3 years, 9 months ago
Just for context....
The food distributed was a week's worth of groceries for a family of four.
That's 24,000 people served a week's worth of meals.
Also, many of the high end cars were elderly or unemployed friends brought by loved ones.
12Stone always works hard to do things well. I am sure they will learn from this and improve.
My suggestion - next year's event could be held Midnight-to-2am at Mall of Georgia.
Big lot, lots of egress, and best time of night with no traffic when mall closes at 10p (just don't do Black Friday)
grizzlebees 3 years, 9 months ago
@ckauz: yeah, but let's also remember some people work on the weekends and I wound up being 45 minutes late to work thanks to the event. what they did is good, but they did a terrible job organizing the event and planning for the outcome and 12stone church owes the people an apology for the mess they made of traffic all over Lawrenceville.
Braveshopr 3 years, 9 months ago
Ckauz and Dawgs - Oh if it were only so. The folks I saw were alone in their cars and certainly not disabled or elderly. They were mostly in their late 30's to fifties. While it may be so that such a person either elderly or disabled was being chauffeured by a wealthy person sporting a late model car, I did not such two-some. I did see a lady driving a newish caddie who appeared in her fifties, but, again, if she was so much in need of food she should sell her car, buy an el-cheapo and pocket the difference.

12 Stone needs to apologize to all of Gwinneet County for the disaster they created on Saturday. People ran out of gas on 85, people missed family functions, people were very inconvienced. Next year have it at Gwinnett Arena , and at least warn everyone. Some consideration would have been appreciated!!!!
tajusaf 3 years, 9 months ago
Hope Ms. Young will continue to follow up on this until we are guaranteed from Twelve Stone that this WILL NOT happen again next year!
BlueDevil 3 years, 9 months ago
A great thing to do for people that need it. However, they picked the absolute worst day to do it being the Saturday before Christmas. I was near The Mall of Ga. all day working. Traffic was terrible. Where were the Gwinnett County Police? Why wouldn't they put a couple of police officers at all major lights near the mall to keep traffic flowing during that time? That traffic killed our business and other businesses that day. People were running yellow lights and getting stuck out in the intersection blocking the next green light. No kidding! People were honking their horns and yelling at people. Why wouldn't the Gwinnett County Police put officers at the lights to keep traffic flowing? Hopefully next year 12Stone will do this earlier in December and have it better planned out. They may want to get the county involved to minimize traffic and congestion.
Merry Christmas!
bnhwillard 3 years, 9 months ago
Listen, as bad as I feel for anyone inadvertently stuck in this traffic (I certainly am not one to like it!), this was an act of charity to the community. The church did its part, it raised the money, got the donations, and provided the volunteer support. The police did their part by providing the officers that were needed based on the plan. If any error was made, it would be by whomever approved the plan at the county level - and if there was police presence obviously there was some sort of plan in place. Guess what? I am sure they have learned their lesson, and next year we will see a different handling, whatever it may be.
In the meantime, if you are just spewing hatred, instead try being thankful that perhaps you have a job and a home, and pray that maybe next year you will again not need to line up and wait for hours to get a free meal handout.
kmsimpson 3 years, 9 months ago
Just as an FYI, some of us WILL be going without on Christmas thanks to this. Personally, I wasted $40 worth of gas trying to get home. I still need the gas in my car, so now it is coming from my family's Christmas dinner.
But because the church had good intentions, that makes it okay for them to make my family suffer, right?
Jeff 3 years, 9 months ago
First and foremost kudos to 12 Stone for their efforts. I do hope that they will take the lessons learned and improve the process next year. Don't hold the event on the last shopping weekend before Christmas near the busiest mall in the state of Georgia. Needy families are needy all year long, so another date would work just as well. There are also several other locations that could be considered such as the Gwinnett Arena area. I think that the idea or vouchers was a good suggestion too.
ThomasPaine 3 years, 9 months ago
With all due respect to the homers trying to rationalize their church's incredible lack of planning, you have a responsibility to plan. As was evident, the laissez-faire approach ("if we give it, they will come") didn't work at all well. It was incredibly lazy execution of a great idea.
NorwoodDavis 3 years, 9 months ago
Good afternoon, my name is Norwood Davis, and I serve on the staff of 12Stone Church and am responding to the many comments on its behalf.
First, I apologize to those who were inconvenienced on Saturday. While there were many contributing factors to the traffic congestion on Saturday including multiple shopping malls, the beginning of the holiday travel season, etc., we recognize that the Feed 5000 campaign made a significant contribution to the traffic congestion across the northern part of the County on Saturday.
Second, we recognize that there were many unintended consequences and inconveniences. While we had developed a traffic management plan weeks ahead and refined it through the approach and even the day of the event, the word of mouth, viral explosion around the event produced a response from those seeking the Christmas package that overwhelmed our plan. While our plan did not anticipate the volume of traffic, we did invest a significant amount of time, energy and money in developing a plan. While we may have underestimated the volume of traffic, we were not dismissive or inattentive to the planning process. In the end, we are guilty of being human and making mistakes. For that, we ask your forgiveness.
Third, we appreciate the assistance and support of the Gwinnett County Police, Gwinnett County Fire, Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office and the many municipal police departments that assisted in responding to the traffic congestion. We ask that the public please direct any frustration to us and not toward the dedicated public safety officials that serve all of us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.
Fourth, we appreciate the time people are taking to offer constructive comments and suggestions on how any future efforts may be handled differently. There are a number of very productive thoughts, ideas, and suggestions that will help us do better next time. I invite any so inclined to email me directly with your constructive ideas to norwood.davis[at]12stone.com
Fifth, I want to thank the hundreds of people who have offered their encouragement to us to continue to serve those among us most in need in our community. Long after all of our frustrations regarding this event have evaporated, 24,000 people in some 6,000 unemployed families will celebrate a Christmas meal together that they may not have otherwise enjoyed.
Sixth, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!
Norwood Davis, Chief Financial Officer 12Stone Church
missjamka 3 years, 9 months ago
MERRY CHRISTMAS MR DAVIS...I PRAISE GOD for you and the genorosity of the church. I was stuck in the traffic also but I had no idea what the jam was all about. Knowing now what caused the traffic jam I would have stayed in it and burned ALL my gas out so people in need could be BLESSED... Thank you and 12stone for your Christ like attitudes..If other churches in the community had done this traffice would not have been so bad!!!!
kmsimpson 3 years, 9 months ago
Dear Mr. Davis, As one of those stuck in that joyous event, I have a few comments. First, this is not the first time 12 Stone has done damage to the local traffic, it just happens to be the most in depth. Routinely every weekend 12 Stone messes up traffic in the area. I happen to live very close to 12 Stone, and without fail, I have difficulties getting places on Sundays due to 12 Stone. We in the local neighborhood have to time OUR schedules around YOUR services. One weekend, I was literally trapped in my subdivision! Lately, you have also taken to also blocking traffic on SR 20 on Saturdays and Wednesdays. No offense sir, but we, too, have lives.
Second, had 12 Stone REALLY wanted to help out the community, they could have checked to see if any of the local people needed help. We have a battered women's shelter here in Lawrenceville, along with several other places that probably could have used the food, never mind that I'm sure many of their actual neighbors may have needed the food. Instead, we had people coming in from Oconee County, and other places. That does nothing for the local community.
The reason so many people are so upset with 12 Stone is not because of this weekend in particular, but because overall, the church is an inconsiderate, rude neighbor.

The parking lot at Coolray was not opened until late. People parked at Publix and blocked the parking lot. Next year plan ahead and open the parking lot. I have a feeling that North Metro Baptist would have cooperated if given the opportunity.
GwinnettResident2001 3 years, 9 months ago
Here's what I don't understand - the average GBraves game draws about 5,000 people. How is it that just 1,000 more is able to cripple all of northern Gwinnett County's roadways, including the interstate? Even if several people ride together to a GBraves game, the number of seats in GBraves Stadium is over 10,000 - what happens if they actually come close to capacity? Will it shut down the entire area?
I have a hard time understanding how, at a location that has a capacity of 10,000+ people that a 6,000 person event does this much damage. It doesn't make sense - it doesn't make sense that the police don't have any clue how to handle it. Granted that there are extenuating circumstances with it being the Saturday before Christmas near the Mall of Georgia, but it still doesn't make any sense that this would cause this much of a problem. The interstate and road system around Turner Field and the Georgia Dome are not so vastly superior that they can regularly handle 6 to 12 times as many people.
Something doesn't add up.
tajusaf 3 years, 9 months ago
Doesn't sound like much of an apology to me - no where does it say WE ASSURE YOU THAT THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN! That is all Gwinnett County asks from you showboating peacocks - not a list of excuses as to why it was all caused by somebody else! Boneheads
NewsReader 3 years, 9 months ago
Good Grief! Cry me a bucket full why don't ya! How is the fact you were late to a funeral any more or less important to any of the rest of us? I, for one, don't care. What I do care about is the many people that willingly sacrificed a day in their life for someone else they did not know. 12Stone doesn't need to apologize to you. They need to pray for you.
Braveshopr 3 years, 9 months ago
Tajusaf- Me thinks you are the 'showboating peacock'. As was stated, no one could anticipate what happened.
kmsimpson 3 years, 9 months ago
It sounds like you are one of the 12 Stone parishioners that has defended this so much in so many places. I agree with tajusaf, there is no apology in there. As a matter of fact, Mr. Davis attempts to deflect some of the blame onto the Mall of Georgia.
R 3 years, 9 months ago
NO actually the media did that ...
kmsimpson 3 years, 9 months ago
Read it again. Here is the third sentence, "While there were many contributing factors to the traffic congestion on Saturday including multiple shopping malls, the beginning of the holiday travel season, etc., we recognize that the Feed 5000 campaign made a significant contribution to the traffic congestion across the northern part of the County on Saturday."
"While there were many contributing factors.....," is the deflection. Mr. Davis does not apologize, he tries to blame part of it on other events.
philo 3 years, 9 months ago
The parking lot at Coolray was not open. The parking lot at Publix was overrun with non shoppers. Next year OPEN the Coolray lot! North Metro Baptist would also probably cooperate if asked. Keep praying, but do some planning for next year!
Dawgz 3 years, 9 months ago
It also may be helpful to note that the planning and advertising the church did was targeted to Gwinnett County. An AJC reporter heard about it and ran a story. Also, other Atlanta Metro organizations (churches, hospitals, schools, governments) started pushing people there. A simple act of kindness for county residents went viral without the church's knowledge or encouragement.
"First, I apologize" - sounds like an apology.
Did they have a plan? yes. (it may have got overwhelmed but they tried)
Can they guarantee it won't happen again? Only if they stop helping people.
gwinnettisgreat1 3 years, 9 months ago
Some things that need to be made clear:
Braves stadium can handle that many cars, but they were not parking them. It was a drive up, get your box of groceries and go line. Therefore the people waiting were waiting on the road. Add in 1 week before Christmas on Saturday and there you have 4 hours of traffic.
Church's are about outreach to the community. This was an in reach. You come to us and we will give you something. What they should do next year is 1 of 2 things in my mind. A. You take your 6,000 meals and divide them into 6 locations throughout gwinnett county. Snellville, Duluth, Dacula, Coolray field, ect... This does 2 things. It does not cause traffic jams like Saturday and you keep people who really need it from spending $20+ in gas. This is outreach. or B. You have people sign up online, Have a cut off date of say Dec. 7. Volunteers organize addresses into 20 zones, you rent 20 Ryder trucks load them up with your boxes of food and its delivery time. The people who need the food, it comes to their door and it gives you a chance to talk to these people one on one. That my friends is outreach. Oh yeah... your traffic jam... it didn't happen in this scenario.
Church's of 12 Stones size are all about numbers as well. They can spin it however they want, reaching others for Christ, spreading the word, increasing the fold, but more people in seats means more $$ in the plate, means more "outreach", means more satelite locations, more growing. It becomes too big to fail, just ask the people that attend there. I am sure 12 Stone's intentions are great, in fact I know they are, but all the people I know that go there love to brag about how big they are or what they are doing. Never once do I hear them talk about how many they are baptizing or how many they had come to have a personal relationship with Christ. It's what turns me off about them. But thats just me personaly and based soley off the small % that I know that attend there. I also know a lady that was a receipent of the meal for a week and she needed it, so they are doing good things as well. The church is not perfect and neither are the people that park their butts in pews on Sunday nor are the people they served last Saturday.
No matter what they do next year it needs to be spread out and verified better of who is truly in need and who is looking for a hand out. 12 Stone serves thousands every Sunday I am sure they will figure out how to handle thousands one extra Saturday out of the year without turning off as many people as they turned on to their church.
RockyP 3 years, 9 months ago
Gwinnettisgreat1- Some great ideas. Obviously in this second large scale attempt to help others, some things that were thought to be planned out need improvement. I would like for you to know that it is more than just about numbers. 12 Stone has many baptisms every month during services and there are hundreds of small groups where personal relations and relationships with Christ are formed and grown. The best thing for me is that people are not judged by their status, color, addiction or need when they walk through the doors at 12 Stone and many come out with a faith in Christ and a new life with the support of other believers. No, 12 Stone is not for everyone. I have been in large and small churches over my 50 years and none are perfect, but I do believe that 12 Stone is doing what Jesus wants us all to do and that is too love one another and to share Christ's love for others. I am just one that served last Saturday, but to anyone (like tjusaf) I apologize for the inconvenience. However, if you could have seen the gratitude and tears of some that were so in need of help it was all worth it. Please come and check out the people that make up 12 Stone. I thnk it will change your mind.
kmsimpson 3 years, 9 months ago
What about those of us that spent $40 worth of gasoline that we could ill afford to travel 7 miles??? Does the church helping some make up for harming so many others?
By justifying the harm caused others, you are forgetting one of the oldest proverbs, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The word on the street is that the botched rollout of Obamacare is a failure for progressives.
The widespread problems with the healthcare.gov website and the communication failures by President Barack Obama are supposed to prove to progressives that universal health care is an impossible and foolish goal that's hurting more people than it's helping.
This reaction reveals a deep misunderstanding of not only Obamacare but of progressives themselves.
The truth is, progressives never loved Obamacare. They never thought it was perfect; they only thought it was the best that could be adopted by Congress at this time. Obamacare is a neo-liberal plan initially concocted by conservatives (who quickly forsook it) and implemented by moderates to achieve progressive goals. No wonder it looks like Rube Goldberg's invention.
About a third of the people who don't like Obamacare don't like it because it doesn't go far enough.
Most progressives preferred a much simpler and more inclusive approach to health care, such as Medicare for All or single payer. The progressive view is that every resident of the United States should have access to affordable, quality, basic health care, regardless of where they work, regardless of existing health problems, regardless of their income or wealth.
Instead of starting over to give everyone equal access, Obamacare added on to the existing structure that's been jerry-built over the past 70 years. Politically that was wise, but it made Obamacare much more complicated to implement, and it led to the broken promises of "You can keep your plan."
And it led to the website problems. As Michael Konczal has written, the technical complexity of the website owes largely to the complexity of figuring out how much of a subsidy, if any, the enrollee should get. Let's be clear: nearly everyone in America who has health insurance now receives some kind of subsidy. Those who are insured through their job get a nice tax break. Active military and veterans get a direct subsidy. So do those on Medicaid and Medicare.
How much simpler (and fairer) it would be to give everyone the same subsidy. We're all the same, after all.
How much better healthcare.gov would be if it were as easy as signing up for Medicare. After verifying your identity and your eligibility, what if healthcare.gov simply said: Here's your card, go see any doctor you choose. Salud!
Progressives may not love Obamacare, but they are invested in fixing its problems. That's who they are. Progressives aren't satisfied until the problem is no longer a problem. (By contrast, liberals will say "We've done enough"; conservatives will say "We've done too much"; and reactionaries will say "We've got to un-do everything.")
How will health law affect business? CEOs weigh in
Four CEOs of top companies predict how the new health care law will change the way they do business.
For instance, progressives weren't satisfied with the Emancipation Proclamation, they weren't satisfied with passage of the Civil Rights Act, and they weren't satisfied with the election of one black man as president. Because racism is still a problem.
Their goal is not (as you've probably heard) to create an unworkable bureaucratic Leviathan as part of a master scheme to take over the world, but to solve an actual problem: Nearly 50 million people have no health insurance coverage, and most lack access to regular care.
The failures of the American health-care system affect everyone, even those who have wonderful insurance and never get sick. We spend more and get less in return than any other developed country. That's hurting our competitiveness in global markets. Not to mention the millions of lives wasted for want of a doctor.

Last week we featured a video tour of the Model Shop at Microsoft and I mentioned it was probably my favorite hidden space – both for the work they do in the shop and the people that work there. One of those people is Karsten Aagaard and if you thought I had landed my dream job, you have to hear Karsten's story.
It starts in Denmark where he was born and his family moved to the U.S. in 1972 when he was 3 years old. They settled in a suburb of Chicago and as a kid Karsten was always building (and breaking) things. He was always drawn to building things that did something – not static models but things that moved and worked somehow. He developed an interest in remote-control cars and through that passion took a job at a hobby store. He bought a small desktop lathe and mill – to replicate plastic parts in aluminum and make stronger parts for people whose toys broke.
His career then took him in another direction that would prove a useful diversion. He studied at college and took a role as an AutoCAD draftsmen.
The story then takes an interesting – and ultimately decisive – turn when during a heated debate, Karsten's brother challenges him to cold-call the first, randomly chosen wanted ad in the paper. Karsten accepted the challenge and the first ad turned out to be for a model maker. He picked up the phone, dialed asked the owner what a model maker was. Suffice it to say, he didn't get the job as the company was looking for an experienced hand. A few weeks later, the phone rang and the owner of the model shop said he was looking for a toymaker's apprentice and remembered Karsten's resume.
Karsten headed to the interview where the owner threw a Matchbox motorcycle across the table and asked if he could make it. Karsten said "yeah, I think I can". He got the job and went from "drafting and wearing nice clothes" to sitting at a bench with clay and cutting plastics and gluing stuff together. That set in motion a series of events that led him to Microsoft – but it was an elongated route. He worked as a toymaker for 8 years and learned his craft surrounded by a handful of artisans who hand-crafted everything that the company turned out. They built prototypes of toys for many of the largest toy companies in the world and earned a reputation as the company who could build seemingly impossible things – pioneering prototyping methods and skills such as color casting with silicon.
His next move was to Motorola where he was hand-picked to help build a model shop for the electronics giant. He and a small team turned an old photo lab into a model shop and set about building concept phones before another unusual turn in the story. After 5 years at Motorola, he decided to leave the Chicago area and move to Tennessee – to build houses with his father-in-law. His 3D modeling skills came in handy and a successful home-building business was established – but Karsten could feel himself being drawn back to the world of tinkering and prototyping. While still in Tennessee he began helping a friend design motorcycle bags and as this work grew, Karten knew this was his calling and he had to get back to building models and working in that world.
His passion was strong enough that he set about building out his own model shop – an expensive and risky business. In the search for clients, Karsten contacted some old friends from his days in Chicago who had moved to Microsoft. Another twist of fate – at that exact time, Vince Jesus who runs the Microsoft Model Shop was looking for an outsourcing manager – a perfect fit for Karsten. Within a month he was in Seattle. That was July 2004.
I love this story – not least because when I enter the model shop and see Karsten I see someone who has found himself in the wonderful spot of his passion being his job. He had some lucky coincidences along the way but I'm a believer that you make your own luck and sometimes, things happen for a reason. I also love the model shop because it's not what many people expect at Microsoft. They don't expect to come across craftsmen who can carve a mouse design by hand from a piece of foam….and then turn their hand to a CAD machine or C&C machine or 3D printer and bring it to life. Arguably their real craft is in helping others – our designers and artists bring their ideas to life in the most efficient way possible. As Karsten reminded me, machines are just tools – there is a craft and a knowledge that you need to run things efficiently and know when to adapt and what tool to use.
I finished by asking Karsten what he'd be doing if he wasn't at Microsoft. His answer probably won't surprise you – he'd build his own model shop to build (and presumably break) his own things. I assumed he must have a great model shop at home. Nope, just a 1956 14-foot bowling alley and a small fishing boat.
No time for home hobbies said the hobby shop guy who became a Microsoft toymaker – my hobby is my work!

Valley fever medication skyrockets
Concern treatment will be unaffordable
PHOENIX - The cost of treating patients with valley fever is on the rise.
The Arizona Republic reports that a sampling of prices in the Phoenix area for the generic drug fluconazole shows the cost has surged exponentially in recent months.
The drug is commonly prescribed to treat the airborne fungal disease, which can bring on fever, chest pain, coughing and other symptoms.
The price hike has doctors worried that uninsured patients will have trouble paying for the drug, which some people must take for months to cure the disease.
Veterinarians and animal-rescue groups say another concern is for dogs and other animals that are much more susceptible than people.
At one pharmacy, the newspaper reports a one-month supply of 100-milligram tablets increased from $5.50 in June to $52 in mid-July when a manufacturer raised its price.
