The National Marrow Donor Program's Office of Patient Advocacy receives
$1.5 million award to help cancer survivors like Ryan
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Ryan Jacobs of Shakopee, Minn., has been a cancer survivor most of his life. Diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia at just 5 months old, Ryan's family was told he needed a bone marrow or cord blood transplant to survive.
Ryan received a successful cord blood transplant after his doctor searched the National Marrow Donor Program's(R) (NMDP) Registry and found a matching donor. Transplant recovery is a slow process, but this tenacious young boy pulled through and has been a cancer survivor now for five years.
After a bone marrow or cord blood transplant, most survivors have some long-term side effects or complications. Some of these disappear over time; others are permanent. While some complications are fairly easy to manage, other long-term effects can be serious or painful.
"As a growing number of transplant patients like Ryan live longer, there is a vital need for comprehensive advocacy and resources for the survivor community," said Beth Murphy, director of the NMDP's Office of Patient Advocacy.
The NMDP's Office of Patient Advocacy recently received an esteemed $1.5 million award from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to further provide support, educate and promote the importance and issues surrounding long-term cancer survivorship. With this five-year award, the NMDP's Office of Patient Advocacy plans to:
-- expand the NMDP's existing survivorship programs;
-- develop partnerships with other national, patient-focused organizations
and resources;
-- focus on providing resources for patients from medically under-served
communities; and
-- increase access to programs and resources to promote and protect
survivors' health.
Today, 5-year-old Ryan feel

That was a pretty decent episode, I may have to start tuning into just the beginning and ending of each season.
Definitely curious what's up with Tess at the end there.
Green Arrow and his kryptonite ring has firmly cemented his place as the Batman of this universe. Loved the Tess "seduction" scenes.
The Chloe thing had me scratching my head but like an idiot I didn't see it coming. I'll blame it on being really drawn into the story.
I have to give kudos to Tom Welling directing on this one, he got some good performances and I thought it had a really slick look, maybe one or two too many tracking shots but it did stand out.
I noticed Clark's clothing was quite dark in this one, no red and blue, a sign of things to come?

I consider myself a very well rounded guy, I can be shy and I can be blunt and honest but I am an overall very sweet guy that tries to love everyone as Christ would. I love sports, I grew up playing football and really miss that but I get my competitive juices out by golfing. I love the out doors, fishing and hiking and everything that goes along with exploring this beautiful world the Lord has blessed us with. I also enjoy to cook, it brings out my artistic side and I like to try new recipes it allows me to relax after work. I am pretty famous for my baked chicken. Love movies, and going to movies and I am willing to watch just anything. I really enjoy talking politics and religion.. I know that is a big no no but I find them interesting, and I believe even if you don't agree with someone you still can be friends. I am really open to trying new things and would love to find someone that can introduce me to fun new things that we can do together.
I am looking for a sweet, strong woman that knows who she is and knows what she wants. I want to find someone that I can build a fun, loving home with, that will be centered on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Someone that is willing to explore life with me and who doesn't play mind games... :)!

Have I missed something, has Teal'c been available all this time? Not that I want him to be, he's extremely unappealing and anyone who tells me there is Carter/Teal'c fic will suffer my wrath. But still, wth is going on?
Simply put, Teal'c's wife was just forgotten about in this episode. Future episodes make it clear he is still married, so for whatever reason he's open to extra-marrital affairs this week. Just go with it.

I love that very first moment of stepping out into the warmth of the sunshine. You know the one, where your eyes close and your chin tilts up so that your face can receive the sun more fully. The one where your nostrils open up to drink in the fresh air and your lungs fill with life energy. Do you notice how you feel hopeful and free, no matter what's going on, even just for a few seconds? That feeling is the remembrance of our innate freedom, our connection with life and the omnipresent possibility of wellness.
For me, the practice of yoga opens up that same gateway to an internal sense of freedom and safety. I teach in order to offer others a chance to connect to a sense of wellbeing, wholeness and to create a place of restful ease inside themselves.
I love helping others re-discover themselves through the practice of yoga. I provide guidance and encouragement to students as they grow appreciation of their bodies, themselves and the world.
This site provides information on doing yoga with me and some of my musings. Welcome, look around and please feel free to get in touch.

Coach fined $1,000, forfeits ownership of weapon
Updated: June 21, 2007, 2:54 PM ETAssociated Press
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- St. Bonaventure baseball coach Larry Sudbrook was fined $1,000 Thursday after he pleaded guilty to trying to carry a .357 Magnum revolver onto a commercial airplane.
U.S. District Court magistrate Kenneth Schroeder accepted the plea to a federal infraction while describing Sudbrook's mistake as "mind-boggling." But, Schroeder said, "I'm firmly convinced, based on your background, that it was the result of human error."
Sudbrook, who completed his 22nd year with ...

Forget low-fat, low-carb, low-taste, and low-calorie -- the French diet is full of flavor and high in satisfaction. Here's how eating la manière Française (the French way) can keep you slim and healthy.
Portion control. The French diet can be summed up in one sentence: eat small portions of high-quality foods less often. "American-sized servings are substantially larger than their Parisian counterparts," says Paul Rozin, PhD, a psychologist with the University of Pennsylvania. In one study, Rozin and colleagues found that a carton of yogurt in Philadelphia was 82% larger than a Paris yogurt; a soft drink was 52% larger, a hot dog 63% larger, and a candy bar 41% larger. Does size matter? Yes, say University of Pennsylvania researchers, who found that when given individual servings of snack foods, subjects tended to eat the same number of servings, no matter how big they were.
Think quality, not quantity. How is it that French dieters are satisfied with less? The difference is in how they regard food and eating, says Will Clower, PhD, CEO of Mediterranean Wellness, director of The PATH Healthy Eating Curriculum, and author of The French Don't Diet Plan: 10 Simple Steps to Stay Thin for Life. The French love their food, he says, but not the way Americans love food. "In America, we confuse enjoyment of food with over-consumption." The result: only 39% of Americans claim to greatly enjoy eating, compared to 90% of people in France.
Savor the flavor. The French sit down to three leisurely meals each day. Even their fast-food meals are lengthy compared to the typical American's. A study in Psychological Science found that Parisians who dined at McDonald's spent an average of 22 minutes eating, while Philadelphian McDonald's-goers were in and out in just 14 minutes. Our culture reinforces speed-eating, just as it encourages rushing through everything else. The problem is that faster eating leads to eating more. It takes an average of 15 minutes for your brain to get the message that your stomach is full, which means that eating slowly makes it more likely you'll stop at a point where you're "satisfied" as opposed to "stuffed."

Vermont Senate advances Lyme disease bill
MONTPELIER Doctors and other health professionals would be immune from professional conduct charges if they pursued a hotly debated course of treatment for Lyme disease under a bill given preliminary approval Thursday by the Vermont Senate.
The Senates 27-0 vote in support came after an impassioned speech by Sen. David Zuckerman, a Chittenden County Progressive who said his wife, Rachel Nevitt, had suffered from the tick-borne illness for about a dozen years and had struggled to get medical professionals to recognize and diagnose the disease.
My spouse had gone to her doctor for a number of years with cyclical ailments of achy joints, flu-like symptoms, except without fever, which is curious, Zuckerman said.
Nevitt later went to a naturopathic physician, who ran a more expensive test than those ordered by her primary care provider. When that test came back, it was quite clear from the markers on that test that she had Lyme, Zuckerman said.
Before the diagnosis, Nevitt had developed neurological problems that made communication between the spouses difficult. There were a couple of years when my marriage was about to dissolve, Zuckerman said. The diagnosis of Lyme gave him an understanding that helped put the relationship back on a good footing, he said.
Vermont would join Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and California as states that have protected doctors against professional conduct prosecutions if they prescribe long-term antibiotics meaning for more than a month to people with Lyme disease.
The treatment is widely considered experimental, with mainstream medical groups like the Infectious Diseases Society of America pointing to two types of side effects: One is in individual patients, who can develop debilitating diarrhea among other problems; the other is the general public, which loses the effectiveness of various antibiotics as bacteria evolve to be resistant.
Rep. George Till, D-Jericho and an obstetrician-gynecologist, said in an interview that a series of studies by the National Institutes of Health had not demonstrated any long-term benefit from long-term antibiotics.
Till said he ended up voting for the bill when it was in the House after working from his seat on the Health Care Committee to limits its scope. The bills language makes clear that doctors prescribing long-term antibiotics can be prosecuted if they are found at the same time to have violated professional standards in other ways.
It isnt a license to just go out and be a complete cowboy and try all sorts of crazy and experimental things, Till said.MORE IN This Just InIt will be a busy week in gubernatorial politics with two candidates holding formal campaign...

For fans of electronic music, one of the most invigorating musicians on the scene right now is Robert DeLong. Though that may be somewhat surprising given that I was saying similar things about him two years ago. But DeLong has proved staying power despite what could have become a show that only drew an audience for its novelty. (His biggest hit so far includes the lyrics "make you fuckin' dance" and his live performance requires the use of video game controllers.) But, returning with a new album, In the Cards, DeLong is stronger than ever.
Latest Blog Posts
If asked to describe the admittedly capacious genre of "Americana music", most folks would likely conjure any or all of the following: the sounds of softly plucked acoustic guitar strings; lyrics about leaving home, coming home, and/or trains, rivers, and penitentiaries; the ubiquitous twang of a banjo; and the occasional ballast of an upright bass. During the six-day Americana Music Festival and Conference in Nashville each year, these sonic signifiers float through the air of most venues, be they record stores like Grimey's or the Groove, dives like the Basement, or upmarket NPR-friendly establishments like the Listening Room or City Winery. If you do some research and choose your itinerary wisely, however, you'll be pleased to find shocks of unfamiliarity abounding amidst the beards and banjos: a jazz arrangement here, a squeezebox solo there, a donkey jawbone played percussively, or a chest-tightening moment of lyrical confession.
This writer spent the weekend hoofing it across Nashville in comfortable boots (in addition to the occasional Uber ride), explicitly seeking out new, often unsigned artists whose available tunes on Spotify demanded to be seen and heard live. In addition to well-known headliners including Lee Ann Womack, Patti Griffin, and the Dave Rawlings Machine, a slate of up-and-comers lingered in the ear drums and continued to pull on the heartstrings long after the festival's closing night. Since it was impossible to narrow the field to ten favorites, you can check out a more expansive Spotify playlist below. In the mean time, here are some unquestionable standouts ready to receive your love and affection—and in certain cases, if you happen to own a record label, your next recording contract.
1. John Moreland
Rarely do artists playing 40-minute festival sets return for an encore, but when Oklahoma singer-songwriter John Moreland walked off the Mercy Lounge stage for the first time, the packed late-night crowd wouldn't settle down without hearing more from him. A former denizen of the Tulsa and Oklahoma City hardcore scenes, Moreland writes lyrics with an efficiency that cuts to the quick and plays guitar with steady power, plucking his strings almost percussively as if each note still needed to rise above the maelstrom of a plugged-in backing band. Using the most basic musical toolkit there is—an acoustic guitar, a half-dozen chords per song, and unflinching emotional honesty—Moreland had multiple audience members visibly wiping their eyes after songs like "You Don't Care for Me Enough to Cry" and "Break My Heart Sweetly." Watching him play live feels like a devotional exercise, dedicated not so much to Moreland himself but rather to the rends and rips that all of our hearts bear, and to one human's ability to bring them right up to the surface. Start with Moreland's spare folk album In the Throes, graduate to his more filled-out 2015 release High on Tulsa Heat, catch him live somewhere, and get ready to bleed a little.
2. The Wild Reeds
Off the bat I'll show my hand and admit that few bands fit more snugly into my personal wheelhouse than the Wild Reeds do: the band includes three women singing gracefully in harmony, songwriting that reflects each member's singular perspective, ample switching between instruments, and dynamic shifts happening within any given song. That said, the Wild Reeds check these boxes with a kind of ferocious glee, clearly stoked to be unspooling the complex ideas that have lived inside their heads and their rehearsal rooms before a crowd of new listeners. From the slowly building "Let No Grief" to the triumphant kiss-off "Where I'm Going," the Wild Reeds sent bolts of lightening through the Basement bar, making new fans of smiling audience members hanging on every harmonized note.
3. Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear
As its name suggests, Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear is a family affair, composed of Ruth Ward, a longtime songwriter and performer, and her youngest son Madisen, who mainly sings lead and complements his mom's guitar picking like a dutiful yet appropriately boundary-testing son. Following their performance at Americana Fest last year, the duo garnered media attention and cut a deal with Glassnote Records, but even if you've heard their recorded tunes before, you'll likely be blown away by the power and range of their live show. "Silent Movies" prances along at a front-porch clip, while gospel-derived "Sorrows and Woes" slows down to showcase Madisen's robust vibrato and Ruth's lilting accompaniment. Mother-song bonding has rarely sounded this good: the duo writes and plays with clear reverence for their shared history, but also with the carefree delight that springs from creating music with the person whom each knows best in the world.
4. My Bubba
When Swedish/Icelandic duo My Bubba plays live, its audience leans in close. The aesthetic is quietude, stillness: nearly whispered vocals, careful guitar and antique zither plucking, and lyrics wherein boats, slit throats, and knitting can coexist eerily in a verse. My Larsdotter Lucas ("My", pronounced "me") and Guðbjörg Tómasdóttir ("Bubba") sound like a single voice split in two, so seamless are their harmonies and musical sensibilities; their song "Dogs Laying Around Playing" consists of doubled vocals layered above a stomped/slapped beat that they create with their hands and feet moving in tandem. Their album Goes Abroader, produced by Noah Georgeson, works equally well as a soundtrack for fireside snuggling or as a rich poetic text worthy of careful and sustained study.
5. Lewis and Leigh
When beloved folk duo the Civil Wars self-combusted in 2014, a vacuum opened up in the space previously filled by that band's tight harmonies and potent onstage chemistry. Lewis and Leigh, comprised of Welshman Al Lewis and Mississippian Alva Leigh, possess an early history that's strangely similar to the Civil Wars': they met at a songwriting session, felt an immediate symbiosis take hold, and, as they say onstage, "the rest was history". Lewis and Leigh's cross-cultural collaboration draws variously on British neo-folk and Southern blues traditions, fusing two musical origin points that nonetheless share a lot of common real estate. They introduce "Rubble" as "a song about where we're both from". While those locations may be continents apart, their common characteristics, like the duo's musical stylings, suggest that onstage, together, is the destination they were both always meant to reach.
In September, New Yorkers might have caught a glimpse of Nashville-based artist Ruby Amanfu during the Neil Fest event at Bowery Ballroom. Amanfu was one of many artists performing covers of Neil Young songs as part of a benefit for Sweet Relief. Covering Young's "For the Turnstiles", Amanfu proved more capable of adding her own style and voice to others' songs, which is a great incentive to listen to her new album, Standing Still, as it features mostly other musician's works, including Brandi Carlile's "Shadow on the Wall" (for which there is a video you can watch below), Bob Dylan's "Not Dark Yet" (the cover she did at Dylan Fest led to the creation of this album) and Kanye West's "Street Lights". In fact, out of the ten songs, only the deep "I Tried" is an original.
The first time most people will hear the name Kamasi Washington is in connection with many of the people he's collaborated with, Kendrick Lamar, Thundercat or Flying Lotus to name a few. But Washington is more than a supporting player for these colleagues. He's a downright monster of a musician whose first album The Epic is a three hour wild ride through jazz, fused with hip-hop, soul and other influences. His first shows in New York City were the four gigs over two nights at the famed Blue Note establishment. All the seats at the shows were sold out, but some bar spots were available before each show and as a result, the Blue Note had a line down the block, with some people waiting several hours to see Washington perform. Fortunately, I was able to get in for the 8 pm set on the second night.
Day Wave, the musical project from the Jackson Phillips, released their first single last year but quickly saw their buzz grow across the blogosphere. This year, one month after the release of their debut EP, Headcase, Day Wave brought his dreamy rock to the sold-out Mercury Lounge in New York City to perform for the first time in the city. Before the doors opened on that August evening, a long line had formed at the venue of people waiting to get in including—surprisingly the group in front of me discussed already having seen Day Wave perform somewhere, so it seems he's building a fanbase. Before Day Wave took the stage, they had Brooklyn based Surf Rock Is Dead stir up the crowd.

The First Rule of Ten (Tenzing Norbu Mysteries)by Gay Hendricks and Tinker Lindsay
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Don't ignore intuitive tickles lest they reappear as sledgehammers."
That's the first rule of Ten.
Tenzing Norbu ("Ten" for short) — ex-monk and soon-to-be ex-cop — is a protagonist unique to our times. In The First Rule of Ten, the first installment in a three-book detective series, we meet this spiritual warrior who is singularly equipped, if not occasionally ill-equipped, as he takes on his first case as a private investigator in Los Angeles.
Growing up in a Tibetan Monastery, Ten dreamed of becoming a modern-day Sherlock Holmes. So when he was sent to Los Angeles to teach meditation, he joined the LAPD instead. But as the Buddha says, change is inevitable; and ten years later, everything is about to change — big-time — for Ten. One resignation from the police force, two bullet-wounds, three suspicious deaths, and a beautiful woman later, he quickly learns that whenever he breaks his first rule, mayhem follows.
Set in the modern-day streets and canyons of Los Angeles, The First Rule of Ten is at turns humorous, insightful, and riveting — a gripping mystery as well as a reflective, character-driven story with intriguing life-lessons for us all.
"Awareness and adventure go hand-in-hand in this wow of a whodunnit. It's got plenty of surprising plot twists, but even better, it's rich with insight into the complexity of human relationships and being alive in this modern-day world. What could be better?" Geneen Roth, author of Women, Food and God
"Talk about a 'perfect Ten!' Savvy, sharp, and spiritual, Tenzing Norbu is one of the most compelling detectives I've encountered on the page. AndThe First Rule of Ten is a great introduction — a complicated, involving story that combines cults, crime, and Buddhist teachings to great effect." Alison Gaylin, Edgar-nominated author of Hide Your Eyes, Heartless, and You Kill Me
"Now this is a detective for the 21st century! Who could resist a former Buddhist monk who lives by the dharma, drives a vintage yellow Mustang, eats five-star vegan PB&J's, and enjoys a close relationship with a sentient being named Tank — a blue Persian of a certain size? On the other hand, his relationships with beings of the human persuasion aren't nearly so smooth. Which is great for a P.I. — no one messes with Ten — but lousy for romance. Tenzing Norbu is wholly original and very, very real — a great addition to detective fiction. The First Rule of Ten has really got me hooked!" Julie Smith, author of the Skip Langdon series

When it comes to treatment for fatty liver, most doctors disagree with each other. The truth is that there is no known pill that can be used to fix this issue: pharmaceutics companies are unable to come up with a drug that can cure this. Sure, supplements exist and they are recommended (some of them, anyway) but they are recommended as an extra help and they are not meant to be the main treatment. So, as far as this illness goes, the home treatment is probably the best solution – a diet, a plan that, with the help of Mother Nature's recipes, helps you reverse the condition.
What Is the Best Treatment for Fatty Liver?
How does one choose the best treatment for fatty liver?
The best treatment depends very much on the patient – and that is especially true in the case of fatty liver. Fatty liver is an illness that needs to be treated by treating the cause as opposed to treating the symptoms – and the causes can vary from person to person. The specialists split this condition in two major categories: alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The categorization is difficult to make, because symptoms are pretty much the same, but it is made based on an analysis of the patient's diet and drinking habits.
In case of an alcoholic fatty liver issue, the treatment for fatty liver is definitely focused on cutting down the alcohol. Obviously, this will not be the only issue, but it will be the main focus. Alcohol hurts the liver, it tires it out, and the liver slowly stops working and starts allowing fat to be deposited, thus allowing the fatty liver to develop. Resting the liver is the way to go, and in the case of alcoholic fatty liver, the best rest the liver will get is quitting alcohol.
In the case of the non-alcoholic fatty liver condition, the treatment for fatty liver becomes a more complicated matter. A more complex home cure needs to be developed and a less obvious cause of the illness needs to be researched.
Going by the same logic as with the alcoholic fatty liver condition, treating non-alcoholic fatty liver should search for the cause of the medical condition and eliminate it. But when doctors keep arguing on what is the precise cause of fatty liver, what exactly should we do? Unfortunately for us, there are still doctors who go at treating symptoms and considering fatty liver a chronic illness that is practically untreatable. That makes the patient's situation quite difficult.
If your doctor tells you that there is no treatment for fatty liver, get a second opinion. There are still people out there who have managed to reverse this condition called FLD. If they could do it so can you. Find out who they are, search them online if there's no one in your vicinity, and go ask their advice. They will probably have lots of experience to share, like Debra Elkin did with her Fatty Liver Bible, a book that tells us how Debra managed to use an efficient treatment for fatty liver and get rid of the illness in as little as two months. Do not despair: others have shown it is possible.
The Internet: your best bet for a solution
You will want to use the best resource at your disposal to find out all about fatty liver and its treatment options. Choose one that has plenty of testimonials of people who have used it successfully to get rid of fatty liver, but also one that suits you – one that you can pull through. Because carrying out a treatment for fatty liver requires lots of discipline and lots of restrictions on your diet and lifestyle – and it is best to choose something that suits you as a personality, as best as possible.
The best way to have all the info is to go online and study the testimonials of the former fatty liver patients: they should be easy to find, since one in five Americans has suffered from the disease. Check out the success stories, what has made them work, what sacrifices they required and how they managed to pull through. Learn from the ones that were there before you, that were able to apply a treatment for fatty liver and did that with success. Check the advice on timelines, how long it took for the treatment to show results, what results you are supposed to expect and how you should behave after your fatty liver was reversed.
With the Internet, you can do that nowadays from the privacy of your own home. You don't need to travel from place to place, you do not need to pay astronomical prices for a book that might or might not have a solution to your problem. You can try one that, like the Fatty Liver Bible, has a money back guarantee. You can find other people's reviews on the book and see if it actually works even before you buy it. You can very easily find the treatment for fatty liver that applies you best, and you can do that without much of an effort.
So in short…
Do not despair when diagnosed with fatty liver. There are many people who went through this, probably through a much worse condition than yours, and still lived to tell the tale and live a happy, healthy life. Use their stories and their experiences to make yours easier. Use every source of information you have at your disposal to know about the disease you are struggling with and how you can beat it.
Despite the fact that there are still some pessimistic doctors that claim this is not a curable disease, studies shows it can be cured and it can be cured quite fast. See which option works for you and apply it. Be disciplined, once you have made your decision, stick to it: stick to the chosen treatment for fatty liver and it is quite sure that you will start seeing results.

I recently purchased a wordpress template from Perfectory.com. My hosting server uses Fantasico which includes a self-installation of WordPress on the server. I think it's version 2.2 but I am not sure.
Anyway, it installed successfully. I then copied the theme over into the correct folder on the server side (under wpcontent and themes). When I go to Presentation in my WordPress admin section, the theme appears there. I click it and look what happens when I view the site
Any suggestions as to what is going on?

As for why Spock was rarely shirtless, the yellow makeup would have taken forever.
"shall not be infringed" is naturally open to infringements of all kinds, because shut up and think of the children.

Modern urban life meets the Old West in the Mile High City. Founded as a mining town in the 1850s, Colorado's capital has never quite lost its rugged frontier spirit. Denver's proximity of the Rocky Mountains probably has a lot to do with it. The great outdoors are bound to stay near the forefront of your mind with such a spectacular reminder crowding the horizon.
If you can tear your eyes away from the scenery, though, there are tons of things to see and do in Denver. In the trendy Lower Downtown Historic District—LoDo to natives—you can take a stroll through the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, where the 27,000 square foot environmentally sustainable building is as much a work of art as the traveling exhibits it hosts. Or, mingle with the fashion-forward crowd filling the restaurants, boutiques, and nightclubs of Larimer Square, which also happens to be the city's oldest and most historic block. In downtown proper, the pedestrian-friendly 16th Street Mall cuts a swath through the heart of the city, past sidewalk cafés, skyscrapers, and plazas filled with street performers. If live performance is your thing, head to the Paramount Theater, where prize fighting events share the stage with laser shows, famous bands, and kid-friendly shows.
For an outdoor adventure inside the city limits, make your way to City Park, which houses the Denver Zoo as well as the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. The museum's long-standing wildlife hall features more than 90 dioramas and taxidermal animals from around the world, including Arctic walruses and cheetahs. Near the intersection of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River, is Confluence park, which features custom designed water chutes for kayakers, and hosts free weekly nighttime concerts. The park is also within close proximity to nearby attractions such as the Downtown Aquarium, where families can gaze at underwater wonders––including mermaids––, or Elitch Gardens Theme and Water Park, where 63-acres of roller coasters and water slides offers thrills right in the middle of downtown.

My family and I have watched many generations of wolves at this wonderful facility. There are so many lies being spread about these amazing animals. This place is a treasure, because it tells people the truth.

This is great place to learn the truth about wolves. There are so many les about them being spread.

Wolf park is a wonderful and education facility that loves their wolves and foxes. I've had the great opportunity to be face to face with many of the wolves and take part in photo seminars. All the staff and volunteers are wonderful. Highly recommend for anyone who has a love for wolves!!
Wolves are a part of our lives. The Creator put them here and we learn from Wolves and all other wildlife he created as well. Shame on all of you trophy hunters. We don't like you.
The wonderful and dedicated staff that work with the wolves make it a pleasure to visit their website as well as their facebook page. I live in South Africa where we do not really have wolves and I've been visiting their website for more than 10 years now (since the days of the late Tristan and Marion et al) and I've always been so impressed with them and the work that they do. I totally love the pictures of Monty Sloan. Great organisation!
Both my daughter and I have sponsored wolves at Wolf Park. After you attend a special training session you can go in with your wolf (with a highly trained Wolf Park Staffer also.) If your wolf isn't feeling sociable, they will take you in with another. It's an awesome experience for a wolf lover. I actually was kissed by my wolf Ayla! Even if you can afford to sponsor a wolf It's still a wonderful place to visit. The people there are friendly and very knowledgeable. This is not just a tourist trap - the people there really love wolves and have studied them for years and want to share all they have learned about these beautiful animals.
Not only are the staff at Wolf Park very knowledgeable about the candids at the park, they are also incredibly dedicated to caring for the animals and educating the public about them. No where else can you find a great team, who teaches about candid behavior and the management and socialization of captive wolves, while the public experiences the animals up close and personal.

I'm fron Italy. I went to Wolf Park last summer (august 2014). It was amazing, i never sow wolves so close before, they're great, amazing, marvellous, fantastic. They need our support and our protection, Wolf Park does it.
Their support of scouting makes them #! in my book. Not only is is a great facility as it, but they go our of their way to develop educational programming for children. Have fun and learn...that is what it's all about for my Girl Scouts.
I wish I had known about Wolf Park sooner. I sponsor Wotan and it is awesome to see the wonderful work this organization does for these animals. Great people taking care of these beautiful animals. I wish there were more organizations like this one across the country. Please support Wolf Park anyway possible, by sponsorship or any donation. Thank you for listening and check out Wolf Park!!!
We took our two children to Wolf Park this spring and it went above and beyond my expectations. We planned on visiting and seeing some animals and having a good time but the staff was so knowledgeable and really new the animals on a personal level. We were part of a tour that the park does many times a day, in which they walk the guests around the park and teach them about the wildlife that they have on the grounds. They don't just point and introduce us to the animals, they teach us. They explain the actions animals in the wild as well in captivity, they teach us new facts that aren't as well known and they inform us of the impact humankind is having on their natural environment. This was such an amazing experience that we even went back that evening for Howl Night and we learned even more about these amazing animals. We can't wait to go back and we are now planning our next visit.

Virginia, Co. Cavan
For travellers between Northern Ireland and Dublin it's the ideal spot to take a break - up at The Park Hotel (049 854 6100), perhaps, which has character and very friendly staff and is set in well-maintained parkland and its own golf course and you can get a bite in the bar then take a stroll along the shore.
Another option, in a waterside position right on the Dublin road, is the Lakeside Manor Hotel (049 854 8200; www.lakesidemanor.ie) which has been earning compliments for good food lately - but don't expect a manor house.

VERMONT (CBS12/AP) - A Vermont restaurant removed a bacon advertisement after online post by the woman said the sign was insensitive to those who do not consume pork.
She also said that as a Muslim, she was personally offended.
The restaurant is now being criticized for doing so.
Sneakers' menu features items including a breakfast sandwich with homemade turkey bacon. Owner Marc Dysinger says the sign was meant to be fun and to show the restaurant cares about Winooski, a city of 7,000 residents with many Muslim families, according to the Associated Press.
A Facebook page asked supporters to tell the restaurant how they feel about the decision. One person called Sneakers "spineless" and said she would not visit the restaurant "until you undo your silliness."
The Associated Press helped contribute to this report

too many haters, I think this song is dope. too many fans forgot why they even came to this site in the first place, to be fans
Niggas Realy Sleepin on Buckshot! haha real hip hop all hair the cypher!
hope the LP is better than this, not feelin it at all. from what i've heard, the first 2 9th+Buckshot albums will be much better than the upcoming one.
IMO the only good one was chemistry. The Formula was wack and so is this album.
what yall niggas talking about Buckshot is a super mc who came with this style off rapping... Oh and u know who gave him this nickname BDI thug,...thats right Tupac!!!..proof hes respected in the game and streets for years..
Real Hip hop
"crazy" anyone thinks this is listenable let alone "good"... in fact it's fucking awful. 9th is bland to the Nth power and Buckshot a complete zero as solo MC... he must have an "in" at Duck Down or why the hell would they keep releasing his garbage albums? Go back and listen to "BDI Thug" and guess what? That sucked too! Dude needs Black Moon and the rest of BCC ** badly **
Chemistry was a good album. And this songs not that bad just not that great either. I'd give it a 2 and a half.

How to edit protected PDF files for free
It can be quite frustrating when you want to copy and edit text from a protected PDF file and you find that you can't. Normally, you can use the text select tool in Adobe PDF reader to highlight and copy the text in a PDF document. I stumbled upon (no pun intended but feel free to click anyway :-)) this free solution when I wanted to copy some postage rates from a PDF file and found that the protected PDF document didn't allow me to select any text or numbers. What's up with that?
Anyway, what I did was to use the Snapshot Tool in Adobe PDF reader (It's the camera icon), copied the text that I wanted to edit as an image and pasted it into Microsoft Office Document Imaging. Then, here's the magic part, goto Tools > Recognize text using OCR and hey, presto you have editable text. Simply highlight the OCR'ed text and paste it into any word processor, like Open Office. You can then resave it as a PDF file in Open Office after editing. Easy!

I knew Hillary was going to take the gloves off but this is ridiculous!
via James Taranto at the WSJ, a Clinton press release:
At an event in Boston this evening, Senator Obama claimed for the second time today that he is "not running to fulfill some long held plans" to be elected President, contradicting statements his friends, family, staff and teachers have all made about him. . . .
In third grade, Senator Obama wrote an essay titled 'I Want To Be a President.' His third grade teacher: Fermina Katarina Sinaga "asked her class to write an essay titled 'My dream: What I want to be in the future.' Senator Obama wrote 'I want to be a President,' she said." [The Los Angeles Times, 3/15/07]
In kindergarten, Senator Obama wrote an essay titled 'I Want to Become President.' "Iis Darmawan, 63, Senator Obama's kindergarten teacher, remembers him as an exceptionally tall and curly haired child who quickly picked up the local language and had sharp math skills. He wrote an essay titled, 'I Want To Become President,' the teacher said." [AP, 1/25/07]
Now, those of you out there reading this, raise your hands if you've ever written an essay on becoming president when you were a tyke. I'm speculating safely that a large fraction of you are raising your hands. And if you have, shame on you if you ever run for president while claiming that this is a new direction!
Because obviously, you're third grade essay laid bare your whole diabolical plan from the beginning! And Hillary has your number. This is beyond sad, this is opposition research out of control with no context or regulation. And if Hillary is using this now, I have to believe that she has nothing on Obama. If she had something good she was saving for later, why even mess with this?
Not to mention that it also underscores the Hillary Clinton narrative as ruthless and unprincipled. Obama wins this one, easily.
UPDATE: The Jawa Report finds a long lost evidence of Obama's wild partying days. Ha!

tool or utility to repair corrupted files
We recently had a Backdoor.Trojan infect our Windows Server 2008 R2. It has since been removed. However, it corrupted numerous office(word, excel, powerpoint) and pdf files.
Is there a recommended software or tool that can repair these corrupted files?
Please advise. Thanks!
Comments 6 Comments • Jump to latest comment
When you say "corrupted files", does that mean you are not able to open them or their association is with their extensions .pdf and .doc has been removed?
If yes, I would suggest you to try creating a new profile on the machine and checking if that works for you.
Hope that helps!!

Don't forget to mark your thread as 'SOLVED' with the answer that best helped you.
I agree above comments there no utility for repair corrupted files.
You can check below microsoft thread will help you.
@Brian - Thanks! Was trying to avoid doing a restore from backup, but if that is our only option, we will pursue it.
@Rafeeq - The office and pdf files were never quarantined. Those have been corrupted that when you attempt to open them, it either displays a lot of gibberish, or it gives a message about content being corrupted and unreadable. Not sure I understand where you are going with that one.
@Mithun - Unable to open those files.
Also, just to note, this is NOT ransomware. It is not asking for money. The files are just unaccessible.

Re: 50th Anniversary eBooks
I think there is some middle ground between 'Slavishly copy' and 'is written by someone who read about Doctor Who once in the Radio times'. I'm torn on it, there are a couple of neat ideas in there but as part of the celebration I would have liked to have seen a story that was actually about the Doctor as he was not as he could be remade. Otherwise what's the point of having a 50 year celebration?
I guess the real question is who this is actually intended for? Doctor Who fans or Colfer fans?

The first four of the eight 2011/2012 winners are:
University of the Western Cape Life Sciences (CIA)
The new Life Sciences Department is aimed to place the University Western Cape on the world map as a centre of teaching excellence. It fuses six departments into one development to promote interdepartmental and trans-disciplinary research. The two major components – laboratory and learning centre – are joined by a social nucleus comprised of the lobby and gathering space oversailed by a shading canopy, supported by tree-like columns. The learning centre integrates the development into the broader campus and houses a state-of-the-
The judges say: The UWC Life Sciences building successfully showcases a commitment to sustainable building practice and resource efficiency in the way that it responds to the environment and demonstrates cost effective strategies, placing this building at the forefront of responsible architecture in the country. The architecture is enormously progressive in both what it intended to achieve and how it achieved it. It will set the benchmark for how institutional buildings will be scoped in future. The depth of detail of the blinds to shade the sun and the vegetable garden on the roof is a serious attempt to tread softly to create architecture with a low impact in spaces that are inspiring and in context with the forward/progressive nature of the institution.
Voelklip (CIA)
The brief to SAOTA – Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects called for a beach house suitable for a family of four, on a vacant site in Voelklip, Hermanus. The gently sloping site presented the opportunity for a split-level living space allowing lounge and dining to be placed above the bedrooms on the ground level, all enjoying dramatic sea views. The double volume family room and kitchen form the heart of the home and form the connection between the sea facing accommodation and the internal sunny terraces, pool and garden. The main garden courtyard functions as a large wind free and sunny outdoor entertainment environment.
The judges say: This holiday home is an architectural marvel in the design ingenuity applied – it befits the idiom 'god is in the detail' by the assemblage sensitivity and crisp clarity of construction that is carried throughout the entire structure. Apart from the sheer quality of the spaces and how they interrelate, one of the most successful aspects of this building is how it to relates to the outside – there is always a relationship to the outdoors, no matter where you are in the home. You are enclosed, but you aren't closed in.
Untamed (CIA)
Untamed is the result of a collaborative process between a sculptor, writer and an architect. Dylan Lewis, the sculptor, had a strong intuitive idea about the subject Ian McCallum, the writer, discusses in his book, 'Ecological Intelligence'
The judges say: Architecture, sculpture and philosophy are brought together in a seamless gesture of fusional arts, crafts, science and literature. It is a temporary structure whose spatial experience, through a considered imagination, brings about meditation on the philosophical text and sculptures housed within the folly: transcending the perceived experience of gallery. The museum feeling makes one think how relevant the real issue of environmental sustainability is, particularly the issues of indigenous flora and fauna, the importance of using recycling and recycled materials and combining vegetation with recycled materials.
Ubuntu Centre (ECIA)
This project, designed by Field Architecture in association with John Blair Architects and Ngonyama Okpanum Hewitt-Coleman, was commissioned by the Ubuntu Education Fund to provide a centre of operations for its health and educational outreach programmes serving the township of Zwide. It houses a wellness wing with a clinic specialising in HIV and tuberculosis prevention and counselling as well as an education wing for group study, remedial classes and career guidance. At the heart of the building, running through two floors, is a multi-purpose space for after-school educational programmes, community theatre, or for workshops.
The judges say: The building makes a permanent statement of architectural excellence in that it contrasts with historical design approaches within a 'township'

Can the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Reunite Axl and Slash?Ke.Mazur/Getty Images
Most years, we'd gladly let you go about your day without a second thought as to who the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame selected for its short list of nominees. The Hall remains mostly irrelevant for all the reasons you may well be sick of hearing by now, like its allegedly shady voting practices (former Hall voter Joel Selvin, in 2007: "This thing has sunk to a shameful level of manipulation and behind-the-scenes chicanery") and the fact that, nearly three decades into the institution, the majority of music fans neither know nor care who's actually in the Hall of Fame. But this year is different. This year, Guns N' Roses have been nominated.
Yes! Twenty-five years after their formation (as per Hall rules, and alongside — deep breath — Heart, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, the Cure, Small Faces/Faces, the Spinners, Rufus with Chaka Khan, Freddie King, Eric B. & Rakim, Donovan, Laura Nyro, War, Beastie Boys, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Donna Summer), GN'R are up for coronation. So what makes this so exciting?
Well, as you well may have noticed, Axl Rose has been dragging around a mercenary version of the band, staffed by hired guns with names like Buckethead and Bumblefoot, for the last decade and change. Rose has toured haphazardly with his new guys, abruptly canceling sets at giant European festivals while flaking out on other shows altogether. He's also put out Chinese Democracy, a project that had taken on near-mythical proportions until it was released in 2008 to lukewarm reception. But what Axl hasn't done is make amends with Slash. In fact, those two despise each other! Which means that, if GN'R does make the cut as one of the five inductees, we could have one gloriously awkward onstage reunion on our hands.
Of course, maybe none of them would even show up. But maybe they would! Things might not be so tense between Axl and former bassist Duff McKagan, who actually joined the band for an impromptu appearance during a London show last year. Guitarist Izzy Stradlin, who had played a few gigs with the band back in 2006, probably won't be too ornery either. Drummer Steven Adler, who's spent some time on Celebrity Rehab, might not be as polite: He made overtures toward joining GN'R 2.0 as part of a post-rehab career path, but was rebuffed. But the real potential fireworks would come from Slash's direction. In 2009, Axl hilariously explained that "There's zero possibility of me having anything to do with Slash other than by ambush, and that wouldn't be pretty … In a nutshell, personally I consider him a cancer." (His hatred of Slash has also led, indirectly, to multiple lawsuits.) They reportedly haven't spoken in years. How wonderful would it be if the — possibly violent?! — reunion took place on TV?
For the first time, we care enough to make a plea to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Do the right thing, guys. Vote for GN'R.

LOS ANGELES (Embargoed until 10 a.m. EDT on Aug. 24, 2012) When aggressive, malignant tumors appear in more than one location in the brain, patient survival tends to be significantly shorter than when the disease starts as a single tumor, even though patients in both groups undergo virtually identical treatments, according to research at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Research Institute.
"We've known that certain independent factors, such as age at diagnosis, amount of residual tumor after surgery, and the patient's functional status are useful in predicting outcomes in patients with glioblastoma multiforme, but multifocal disease at time of onset has rarely been examined in this context. Two small previous studies were contradictory. Our study appears to confirm observations that disease in patients with more than one lesion is particularly challenging and that these patients tend to have worse outcomes. Matched survival analysis demonstrated that multifocal disease is a strong and negative independent prognostic factor," said Chirag G. Patil, MD, director of the Center for Neurosurgical Outcomes Research in the Department of Neurosurgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
The researchers compared outcomes of 47 patients who had multiple tumors with 47 who had a single lesion, matching them for age, functional impairment scores, extent of tumor removal and radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Median overall survival for the multifocal group was six months, compared to 11 months for those in the single tumor group.
Patil, first author of an article in the Aug. 24 Journal of Neurosurgery, noted that a comparatively large percentage of tumors in the multifocal group appeared to be "treatment resistant," continuing to grow even after patients underwent radiation therapy.
Unlike earlier studies, nearly all of these patients were diagnosed and treated during the "temozolomide era," beginning in 20

Kitty Cat Snowmobile History and Description
This is the Kitty Cat snowmobile history that we have compiled from internet research and Arctic Cat documentation as well as input from a few individuals who volunteered their knowledge.
If you can add or improve the story of the Kitty Cat snowmobile, use our contact form to submit your information. If you enjoy the Kitty Cat snowmobile and everything it stands for, please share this on your favorite social networks and help promote youth snowmobiling.
From the Mouths of Arctic Cat...
Arctic Cat makes fun for the whole family, including the youngest of snowmobile riders, and the Kitty Cat is made especially for the young snowmobile enthusiast. Watch a child's face light up as they take the seat and grab the handlebars of their very own snowmobile. It gives your kids the chance to be a part of the snowmobiling excitement they see every winter, but it also gives you peace-of-mind.
Kitty Cat General Information
The Kitty Cat is powered by a reliable 60cc, single-cylinder, fan-cooled engine. It is governor-controlled, limiting the Kitty Cat's top speed to 8 mph or less for safe operation and features an adult-controlled keyed ignition.
For a small snowmobile, the Kitty Cat looks just like the big Cats, and is bound to make the youngest snowmobile enthusiasts feel like part of the family. The purple, salmon and black make it look just like "mom's" or "dad's" snowmobile.
Safety features were Arctic Cat's main concern for the smallest member of the Cat clan. The Kitty Cat has a constant-on headlight and taillight, all-around reflective tape, an adjustable engine governor, rubber-tipped skis, padded handlebars, a manual stop switch and a removable ignition key so you can decide when it's time to ride.
The Kitty Cat will provide your children with endless hours of safe outdoor fun, and all the while teaching them the valuable lessons in snowmobile safety, maneuverability and control.
The Kitty Cat also has a resale value that's unmatched in all of snowmobiling, so if you don't pass it down, you can easily pass it around. This has always been true since the snowmobile's inception back in the early 1970's.
Kitty Cat Snowmobile History
The Kitty Cat had a production run from 1972 until 2000 but has now made way for a mid-sized sled, the Z120.
Changes throughout its history were minor in cosmetic
nature, nothing more than decals, seat covers, and the addition of a stock windshield in 1980.
The change of its engine in the mid 70's from a Kawasaki to a Suzuki proves to be the single biggest change that the sled endured. Fortunately, there are many parts that can be interchanged between model years.
Chances are your local Arctic Cat dealer can help you with your parts needs. The only exception being the early Kawasaki motors whose parts have become quite rare.
Here are the latest posts from our sled forum...
