Cancer survivor bares her story for calendar
January 5, 2009
By Chantelle Lusebrink
One Issaquah woman is baring it all to make a point — well, almost all of it. Among carefully placed, bright-green leaves, Pam Travis, an Issaquah resident and breast cancer survivor, poses for the sixth time in this year's Angel Care Breast Cancer Foundation's annual calendar.
"When I first posed for it about six years ago for the first time, I brought my husband with me to make me feel more comfortable, because I was so nervous," she said. "As the years have gone by, I've felt more and more comfortable."
She is one of 11 women and one man who posed for the 2009 calendar, which raises money for the foundation.Angel Care, founded in 1997, provides support for recently diagnosed breast cancer patients by linking them with survivors.
Travis has been diagnosed with breast cancer four times, and is still fighting the disease.
"The mission of the calendar is to help get the word out about Angel Care," said Cindy McWilliams, a coordinator with the organization. "It also helps those that are newly diagnosed with breast cancer see that there is light at the end of the tunnel."
Travis' involvement with Angel Care comes from how vividly she remembers receiving the terrifying diagnosis for the first time in 1982. It was entirely unexpected, since no one in her family had been diagnosed.
"In 1982, it was very, very scary," she said. "I was younger, had young children and I'm also a nurse. So, I had seen what a lot of the radical mastectomy surgeries looked like.
"It was really a shock," since at the time, treatment options were to have a mastectomy or a lumpectomy, she added.
Radiation treatments and chemotherapy were just coming into use.
"In those days, there wasn't the support groups we know today, there was no Angel Care, no Komen Foundation" she said.
For support, she relied on a fellow church member — who'd been diagnosed a few years earlier — her husband and all the information she could get her hands on.
Since then, she said she has endured two mastectomy surgeries, one on each breast at different times, several lumpectomies, radiation and chemotherapy treatments.
Two years ago, she was diagnosed with breast cancer again.
"I found some pimples on my skin and chest," she said. "It was diagnosed as breast cancer that was on my skin."
Travis continues to fight her own battle, but also helps others fight through her work as a volunteer with the organization.
Newly diagnosed patients are linked with Travis through Angel Care and she acts as a support for them, providing emotional support, personal experiences and as a shopping companion to purchase things like wigs.
"All of our volunteers provide a sisterhood for survivors," McWilliams said. "It is great to get together, for them talk with each other and learn from one another."
Travis also attends medical appointments with new members and attends foundation seminars with doctors, research companies and gathers information about new clinical trials.
"There is no other organization that works the way we do," Travis said. "When you're diagnosed with a disease like breast cancer, you need to talk to someone about it.
"Someone that has been there gives so much support, so you can talk about the things you're embarrassed about, like your body if you've had a mastectomy, which can be very traumatic."
Nearly 40,000 women in the U.S. die from breast cancer annually, but with early detection and education, Travis said she hopes those numbers will go down.
The foundation's calendar helps promote awareness by giving monthly reminders for both clinical and self-breast exams.
"There was only one time that my cancer was detected by a mammogram," Travis said. "The other times, I found it myself, which is why I strongly, strongly suggest that women do self breast exams, because that is how most women find it."
She added that women should start self exams as early as possible, since she has known many young women in their 20s who have been diagnosed.
She said she also wants those diagnosed with cancer to become advocates for themselves. Those who learn the most about their disease and their options often do the best physically and emotionally, she said.
If you're looking for that perfect 2009 calendar to grace your wall, support one that supports women and men fighting breast cancer, she said.
"I feel proud that I can do this, in spite of everything," she said. "I'm living proof that there is life after breast cancer, and you don't have to be ashamed of your body."

Baltimore school officials respond to Connecticut School shooting
The Superintendent of Baltimore County Public Schools sent a heartfelt message through twitter after the school shooting in Connecticut.
Late Friday afternoon Dr. Dallas Dance released this statement.
"On behalf of Baltimore County Public Schools, I send our heartfelt sympathy to all the families of Sandy Hook Elementary School who are mourning the loss of life of their children and loved ones. We are saddened and outraged by the tragedy.
"The safety of students, staff and visitors is our top priority. To that end, I have charged the newly created Department of Safety and Security to review and evaluate our current crises plans. BCPS is fortunate to have a strong and collaborative partnership with the police department. Immediately upon learning of the tragedy, and even though there is not a threat to BCPS, the police chief and I were in contact to explore precautionary steps we needed to take to assure our students, parents and staff that we were increasing our vigilance in our schools. As a result, the police instituted the "Keep A Check" Program where police officers began to visit our schools without school resource officers to make sure that schools are secure.
"BCPS joins the nation in mourning the senseless tragedy and loss of life at Sandy Hook Elementary School."
-Dr. S. Dallas Dance, Superintendent, Baltimore County Public Schools
Dallas Dance accepted his position last summer and immediately faced adversity during the first day of the school year when a student was shot inside the Perry Hall High School cafeteria.
In the days after the shooting at Perry Hall dance outlined safety as being his top priority. In his tweet today he said he is "furious."
Dallas Dance's tweet:
17 year old Daniel Borowy was left in critical condition after that shooting but he has since returned to school.
The shooting at Perry Hall HS lead to security changes at Baltimore County High Schools. School resource officers are now carrying security wands to help them detect metal.
The tweet from Dance was in response to the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. At least 27 people are dead, 18 are children.
Officials are calling it one of the worst school shootings in the country's history.

I am an American freelance writer, editor and blogger who moved to Australia in January 2010.My adventures around Oz have included scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef, learning to surf on the New South Wales coast, climbing through caves and abseiling in the Blue Mountains and missing a flight in Melbourne. ...Find out more!
Museums devoted to history, art and culture are a dime a dozen. Rarer are the ones dedicated to the truly strange. How strange are we talking? Human heads, gross stuff that grows inside you and macabre mechanisms. You won't find that at MoMA.
This list by no means covers all the odd institutions scattered throughout the world, but it will get you started. Maybe you can dedicate your next RTW trip to visiting some of them -- if you can stomach it.
Heads have rolled thanks to some of the torture devices displayed in this Dutch institution. Guillitones, saws, chairs of nails -- it's all there, a memorial of sorts to the things used to torment or kill prisoners and others. You can also read descriptions and see photos of how the devices were used and find out which countries (ahem, America) still execute people. If you want more torture, hop on a plain to Prague to visit a sister site, the Museum of Medieval Torture Instruments.
To continue with the morbid theme, we have this Spanish museum that showcases the very best and beautiful in funeral carriages from the 18th century onward. But getting there is half the fun. Patrons have to check in with the Municipal Funeral Services, the basement of which houses the museum. Guests are escorted into the exhibit by a security guard.
This museum's as much a PSA as it is a documentation of the history of the toilet. Toilets are still a luxury item in India and about a third of residents still goes to the bathroom out in the open. Some of the porcelain fixtures seem impossibly ornate while others are cruder constructions.
This one-of-a-kind museum features nearly 300 parasites. Replicas of animals and people affected by worms and other wigglies feature in the display, including a photo of testicles with a parasite infection. You can also see the world's longest tape worm and then pray you never, ever get one.
Part of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, this odd American museum keeps preserved bodies and jars of deformed babies on its shelves, all in the name of health education. A replica of an 9-foot colon by a man who couldn't defecate and tales of conjoined twins are other show-stopping displays. Schedule your visit after you've already eaten lunch.
Have you been to any of these places? What weird museums do you want to visit?

Gators linebacker Antonio Morrison tackles Heisman winner Johnny Manziel last season.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Starting quarterback Jeff Driskel wasn't the only Gator back at practice Thursday night.
Following a heart-to-heart conversation on Wednesday with sophomore linebacker Antonio Morrison, Gators coach Will Muschamp allowed Morrison to rejoin his teammates following a pair of off-the-field incidents over the summer that prompted Muschamp to suspend Morrison.
"It's part of being the head coach,'' Muschamp said Friday. "When a young man has poor judgment, you work them through it and you educate them and you help them, and that's what we're doing. I don't treat these guys any differently that I treat my sons. It's called tough love."
Morrison finished spring practice projected to be the Gators' starting middle linebacker. Morrison made 34 tackles as a freshman, including a forced fumble against Florida State that turned the momentum in Florida's favor.
Muschamp announced last month that Morrison was suspended and would miss the season's first two games. Whether that suspension might be reduced due to new information and Morrison's attitude remains uncertain. Morrison won't be able to work in full pads until his fifth practice due to the NCAA-mandated acclimation period all players are subject to.
"He's still working through some things for me,'' Muschamp said. "We're working through that at this point. I feel like missing a week of camp was a pretty strong statement to him and where I stood with some things. He's still a part of our team. He was never not part of our team. He was just suspended from all team activities."
From Bolingbrook, Ill., the 6-foot-1, 230-pound Morrison played in all 13 games last season after choosing Florida over Alabama, Tennessee, Arizona and Purdue.

Love this phone
Great phone! Great battery life, usually last at least 24 hours. The flick of the wrist camera feature is great for capturing a shot quickly. Plus the touch less controls are awesome. I can ask it a question across the room and it answers me without ever touching the phone.
Only cons I can think of are that the NFC feature isn't compatible with the galaxy phones and that the keyboard doesn't have the option to hold the letters down til it changes to a symbol.
I don't miss my S3 at all! Keep your iPhone and your S3s, go Google!!

Great phone, useful features
I have owned this phone for a week now and I can say it's exceptional. Screen is bright and easy to read even in sunlight. The size. Ms weight of the phone feel great in the hand. It's not a Phablet like a lot of other phones today, but still manages to give you a big 4.7 inche screen. But where this phone truly shines is the software features like toughness control. It lets you speak to your phone without ever needing to touch or even wake it up. You can have it dial a number, compose and send a text, ask for directions or any of a thousand other things. The phone only reacts to your voice so nobody else can give it commands. Another stand out feature is Moto assist. This feature lets the phone " sense" when you are driving so it will read you your texts and who they are from, and even ask you if you want to respond and let you dictate the response. It also will act as your personal assistant and tell you who's calling and ask if you want to answer. How another company hasn't come up with this idea or this isn't standard on smartphones in this day and age is beyond me. Everyone knows by now texting and driving is dumb, and even against the law in a lot of places. The Moto x makes it so you don't have to text and drive or fumble for your phone if it rings. That's awesome to me. This phone also has probably the best battery life I've seen on a non razr maxx smartphone ever. I routinely get a full day out of it with juice to spare. I usually take my phone off the charger around 8am and put it back on somewhere around 2am the next morning. I have never had less than 20% battery left after my day. I use my phone constantly through the day surfing the web or emailing and texting to watching YouTube. I'm amazed at the battery life. Now true that some of that comes from the fact that this phone has only a 1.7 ghz snapdragon s4 pro. But in all honesty you don't need more. Not with 2 gigs of ram and the Motorola X8 computing system.

Maxymax review above...
Quite possibly the most uneducated, uninformed, misleading piece of drivel I've ever read on this or any other forum.
You really should be ashamed of yourself for such a pathetic trolling attempt.
To all of you who are reading these reviews complete ignore Maxymax's "review". There is nothing about this phone designed to be like iphone.
If the mods read this and want to remove it I'm ok with that as long as you remove max's stupid rhetoric too

iPhone Clone
Want an iPhone but still want the Android OS? This is your phone. I guess they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and if you can't beat them, join them. This does just that. It is about the same size as an iPhone, has a non-removable battery like an iPhone and you can't add a memory card for expanded memory-just like an iPhone. As a bonus, they designed it to use a nano Simm card-just like an iPhone. It only has a 10MP camera which is considerably lower than other flagship Androids. Another bonus is it has an always on mic to wait and listen for your commands. Of course NSA can also listen to your commands (conversations with others in a room) with it too. All and all this phone is a big disappointment. After all this time of waiting for Motorola's top of the line phone, they produce this mid-range phone and then hype it up like it's comparable to a Galaxy SIV. I can't believe after all the hype about Google and Motorola's first collaboration together they actually produced this hunk of junk. Don't bother buying it. It takes the worst aspects of Apple's iPhone and apply it to their phone.

1920-03-12 Jimmy Wilde nd-w pts 12 Frankie Mason, The Coliseum, Toledo, Ohio, USA - WORLD
1920-03-12 Jimmy Wilde nd-w pts 12 Frankie Mason, The Coliseum, Toledo, Ohio, USA - WORLD. Referee: Ed Smith. Billed as a world flyweight title fight despite the Articles of Agreement calling for both men to be inside 108lbs, Wilde (106¼) won the 12-round press decision handily after doing all the forcing and showing great defensive powers, dodging, feinting and shifting before hitting back and overwhelming Mason (106¼). The referee claimed that he had never seen a fighter like Wilde, who was so willing to carry a fight to the opposition and mix matters throughout. This performance was followed by a ten-round press win at catchweights against his old foe, Young Zulu Kid at The Armory, Windsor, Ontario, Canada on 12 April. Two further no-decision bouts during his tour saw Wilde risking his title over short distances, Battling Al Murray being counted out in the eighth and final round on 21 April at the Sportsmens' Club, Camden, New Jersey and then being knocked out in the second of a scheduled six at the National AC, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 13 May. Sandwiched between these two contests was a one-round kayo win at 116lbs over Bobby Dyson at the Cuddy Arena, Lawrence, Massachusetts on 1 May. The final contest for Wilde (105lbs) during his 1919-1920 tour of North America saw him outpoint Patsy Wallace (112lbs) over ten rounds at the Exhibition Grounds, Toronto, Canada on 24 May. This was yet another contest that was billed for the title where there was little or no risk for Wilde, with the contract calling for a 116lbs weigh-in to protect him. Following Wilde's defeat at the hands of America's world bantam champion, Pete Herman, in a catchweight bout at the Royal Albert Hall, Kensington, London, England on 13 January 1921, in order to find an American titleholder at the weight The Ring magazine tells us that two contests involving four of the best men available were held on 11 February 1921. Despite the match being made at 116lbs, Johnny Buff (112) outpointed Mason (108) over 15 rounds at the Tulane Arena, New Orleans, Louisiana while Abe Goldstein knocked out Patsy Wallace in the seventh of a scheduled 15 rounder at the Pioneer SC, Manhattan, NYC, New York. No weights were mentioned for the latter contest, although Goldstein was said to be inside 112lbs. Following that, the two men came together over 15 rounds at The Casino, Manhattan on 31 March 1921 and Buff kayoed Goldstein inside two rounds, both men weighing 110lbs. The title changed hands after Buff (114¼) was knocked out by Pancho Villa (110), inside 11 rounds at Ebetts Field, Brooklyn, NYC on 14 September 1922. Regardless of the fact that Buff came in above the weight, Villa was recognised as being the American 112lbs champion on his victory. Adding to his growing reputation, there were two 15-round points wins for the Filipino in Madison Square Garden, Manhattan, NYC that were recorded in The Ring Record Book to have involved the American title, against Abe Goldstein (115½) on 17 November and Terry Martin, who weighed 115¼lbs, on 29 December. These can now be discounted as being mere catchweight contests, despite Villa weighing in at 110 and 111lbs, respectively. With two previous points wins over Villa, even though one of them was a press decision, it would appear that Frankie Genaro had the 'Indian Sign' over the little Filipino. That was backed up when Genaro (110½) outpointed Villa (109½) over 15 rounds at Madison Square Garden on 1 March 1923 to take the latter's American title. The result, however, was generally seen as being unjust and when the promoter, Tex Rickard, lulled Wilde out of semi-retirement for a title defence it was not Genaro who was selected to meet the world champion but Villa. Earlier, on 22 February 1923, the IBU stripped Wilde of his European title due to inactivity and appointed the Belgian champion, Michel Montreuil, as the new titleholder. They were also failing to recognise Wilde any longer as world champion, which counted for nothing as far as the Americans were concerned. Prior to meeting Wilde, Villa had put together 78 bouts, of which he had lost just four, two of them to Genaro.

Culinary arts students get surprise fire training
If a souffle incinerates or a pot of baked beans bursts into flame, Jason Gray's culinary arts classes will be ready.
The class gained first-hand experience Jan.11 at a live fire training exercise led by Eudora City Councilman Bill Whitten with help from Keith Spence and Avi Elpern of the Eudora City Fire Department. Whitten works as a firefighter in Lenexa.
He began by explaining the basic role of the extinguisher to the class.
"We use this as the first line of defense," Whitten said.
If a fire erupts, the students should use the extinguisher to completely put out the fire or make it more manageable for the firefighters when they come, Whitten said.
If it's a small fire, Whitten told the students they could put the fire out by pouring in salt or snuffing it with a lid.
He also advised the students to avoid using flour to attempt to extinguish the flame.
"Ever hear of an explosion in a grain silo?" Whitten asked.
The floating grain particles fuel the explosions, Whitten said.
If the fire is too big, Whitten advised the students to call a fire department and always err on the side of safety.
As part of Gray's course at the Eudora/De Soto Technical-Education Center, students learn the concepts needed to both cook and run a restaurant.
Whitten's exercise marked a departure from the standard fire safety lesson, Gray said.
It didn't take long for Gray to make a decision when he heard what Whitten intended.
"I jumped at the opportunity," Gray said.
It instills into the students in life what Gray taught in the classroom, he said.
After Whitten finished the general overview of how to use the fire extinguisher, the class found out exactly how different the lesson would be.
"This is a live burn. We do have a live fire out there. People can be injured," Whitten said.
Once outside, Whitten handed out fire extinguishers to the students.
He pulled a pin from the extinguisher. The chemicals shot forth and he moved the spray from side to side as if he were suffocating an imaginary flame.
After finishing the example, Whitten fired up a trash can used as a training tool for firefighters.
He watched the students one by one follow his example.
It was a new experience for Eudora High School sophomore Michael Bricker.
"I feel safer now that I have done it," he said.
Heartland of America, Inc. provided the fire extinguishers for the lessons.

The most common, conventional lupus treatment is corticosteroids. While these steroids do work to reduce the inflammation and lessen the harmful immune response (and thus diminish the symptoms of a lupus flare, such as lupus joint pain and the lupus rash), these steroids do not come without serious side effects (such as weight gain, water retention, heart failure, muscle weakness, osteoporosis, slow healing of wounds, suppressed immune system, convulsions - just to name a few).
There is hope, however! There ARE natural ways to treat and lessen the symptoms of lupus. The first natural lupus treatment is diet - read my page on healthy eating guidelines to learn what a healthy diet is. Because lupus is an inflammatory disease, it is vital to eat a diet that is anti-infammatory, or that doesn't cause inflammation. Once you've read my healthy eating guidelines, refer to my page on lupus and diet to learn how to tweak your diet to target lupus.
Eating the right foods is important in treating lupus. But, sometimes it's just not possible to get all the healing nutrients you need to treat lupus by diet alone. Consider taking supplementing - refer to my page on supplements, vitamins and herbs for lupus for my recommendations. Not only can these supplements give you healing nutrients, but there are a number of natural anti-inflammatories that can ease your lupus symptoms.
In addition to treating lupus by modifying your diet, making exercise part of your life is vital. Go to my healthy exercise section to learn all about exercise and how to motivate yourself to do it! Once you've read those pages, refer to my page on lupus and exercise, where I give specific exercise recommendations for people with lupus. If you're new to exercising, and don't know where to start, try walking. Be sure to check out my page on walking as exercise.
While it's obviously important to find and work with an experienced and positive doctor, it's a good idea to seek help from various types of alternative or integrative practitioners. Many people with autoimmune diseases have found relief from other healing modalities. We are all individuals - what works for one person, may not work for another.
Traditional Chinese medicine, for example, may offer a treatment that works wonderfully for you. Or, how about Ayurveda (a traditional Indian form of medicine)? Keep an open mind. There are many natural lupus treatment options - wouldn't it be wonderful if one turned out to be, for you, a natural cure for lupus?
Reducing stress is very important for people with lupus. Stress has been shown to trigger a lupus flare in many lupus sufferers. Breathing exercises, meditation, and hypnotherapy are just a few proven stress reducers. You owe it to yourself to learn and practice at least one of these natural lupus treatment options. Excessive sun exposure has also been shown to trigger a lupus flare, so limit sun exposure. Finally, make sure to get lots and lots of rest to allow your body to heal.
As a final note, attitude and a positive outlook are so important. Check out the three books below - they all give messages of hope and healing that, if you've been diagnosed with lupus, you need to hear. Read everything you can get your hands on - and remember to check back here often. I update this site constantly and I will include any important new information on lupus and lupus treatment options!

(March 21-April 19). It will be harder than usual to make up your mind -- or rather, you'll make it up and then remake it several times. After the back and forth, you'll be reminded why your original decision was the best.
(April 20-May 20). There is nothing more frustrating than a person who makes you fight for your ideas, find support for your arguments and justify your choices. But this is ultimately what makes you great.
(May 21-June 21). Excitement brings the same symptoms as stress, but you definitely know which one you're feeling at a given moment. You'll likely visit both sides of the spectrum over the course of this whimsical day.
(June 22-July 22). Romantic relationships are not the only kind that take work. All relationships must be built and then adjusted along the way according to life's changes. Most of today's efforts will be spent in this regard.
(July 23-Aug. 22). When emotions run high, people speak the truth. Whether the catalyst is anger or passion, the result will be the same: an honest response that is worth remembering long after the heated feelings have passed.
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Something new is being requested of you. Don't be afraid to voice your concerns or ask for more thorough instructions. Better to ask a dumb question than to make a dumb mistake.
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Courageous people often don't consider themselves courageous because they are so used to being brave that it seems normal to them. Give yourself credit for stepping up to the needs that others don't seem to see.
(Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Loved ones will share interesting stories and theories with you. Even if you don't believe them, you'll humor them. Your compassion is a part of the relationship package, and they'll depend on it.
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Many hear wise words, but few follow them. A piece of good advice you gleaned from your parents will hold you in good stead for the next few decades.
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In the realm of science fiction, the main character sometimes has strange and prophetic dreams -- a clue to the dormant superpowers that lie within. You could have the same tonight.
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Everything can happen, just not all at once. To avoid the feelings of overwhelm that can come with a day as full of action and opportunities as this one is, make a list and put it in order of importance.
(Feb. 19-March 20). The day offers a feeling of belonging and fun. You'll have a special kinship with someone who thinks or looks like you. If this person has a similar background, even better.

|Recent advances in measurement of the water vapour continuum in the far-infrared spectral region.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22547236 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|We present a new derivation of the foreign-broadened water vapour continuum in the far-infrared (far-IR) pure rotation band between 24 μm and 120 μm (85-420 cm(-1)) from field data collected in flight campaigns of the Continuum Absorption by Visible and IR radiation and Atmospheric Relevance (CAVIAR) project with Imperial College's Tropospheric Airborne Fourier Transform Spectrometer (TAFTS) far-IR spectro-radiometer instrument onboard the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurement (FAAM) BAe-146 research aircraft; and compare this new derivation with those recently published in the literature in this spectral band. This new dataset validates the current Mlawer-Tobin-Clough-Kneizys-Davies (MT-CKD) 2.5 model parametrization above 300 cm(-1), but indicates the need to strengthen the parametrization below 300 cm(-1), by up to 50 per cent at 100 cm(-1). Data recorded at a number of flight altitudes have allowed measurements within a wide range of column water vapour environments, greatly increasing the sensitivity of this analysis to the continuum strength.

Philip Ray Guevara, Suzanne Blunk, Margaret Ivey and Heather Petersen in the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park Off the Hill production of Russell Davis's 'The Travelling Jekyll & Hyde Show.'
- Filed Under
The timeless themes in Robert Louis Stevenson's classic horror novel are explored in the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park's Off the Hill production of "The Travelling Jekyll And Hyde Show," by playwright Russell Davis. It will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Friday Jan. 18, at Prospect House, 682 Hawthorne Ave.
Tickets are $3 each and can be purchased at the event,, and can be reserved by calling 921-1613 and leaving your name. The show is recommended for age 11 and older.
"The Travelling Jekyll And Hyde Show" tells the story of a tiny touring theater attempting to tell the story of the infamous scientist who learns to split his good side from his evil one. Unfortunately, the three actresses are sabotaged at every turn by a domineering director. As the women in the company slowly take control of the story, they also learn to take control of their lives.
Phillip Ray Guevara (Nigel Entwickle), Suzanne Sefinatu Ayoka Blunk (Chantal Baboot) and Heather Petersen (Lady Peggy Dill) from the Playhouse's Bruce E. Coyle Intern Company will appear in the production. Margaret Ivey, from last year's Bruce E. Coyle Intern Company, will play Penny Twinkling.

An efficient and green bioprocess to obtain 2,6-diaminopurine nucleosides using thermophilic bacteria is herein reported. Geobacillus stearothermophilus CECT 43 showed a conversion rate of 90 and 83% at 2 h to obtain 2,6-diaminopurine-2′-deoxyriboside and 2,6-diaminopurine riboside, respectively. The selected biocatalyst was successfully stabilized in an agarose matrix and used to produce up to 23.4 g of 2,6-diaminopurine-2′-deoxyriboside in 240 h of process. These nucleoside analogues can be used as prodrug precursors or in antisense oligonucleotide synthesis. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol. Prog., 2012

A space that once sold feed, seed and farming supplies will now serve as a point of entry into the county's commerce and tourism opportunities.
Months ago George Rawlings of the Rawlings Foundation purchased the former Southern States property that included three buildings and lots for storage and parking. While speculation has run rampant about how he would use the spaces, Rawlings had remained quiet regarding the project, but recently made an announcement about one particular use for the retail building facing First Street.

When a Valentine's Day fire broke out this year at Asbury United Methodist Church, fire crews took action.
They sought out the blaze in the York City church's attic and extinguished it, leaving little water damage and allowing parishioners to return after only one day of missed worship.
That's why, in thanks for the men and women who helped save Asbury, the church dedicated this Sunday's service to first responders and their families.
Responders' response: With an embrace, Lead Pastor Yvette Davis personally thanked York City Fire Chief David Michaels for the department's quick response, professionalism and compassion.
During the service, children gave thank-you notes to Michaels, and pastors blessed first responders and their families through a laying on of hands.
"It's very nice of the church to do this for us," Michaels said after the service. "We appreciate them going out of their way."
The fire department sometimes gets thank-you letters from the people it serves, he said, but staff members don't often see an entire church service dedicated to them.
"They really went all-out here," Michaels said. "We really appreciate it."
A handful of first responders were in attendance, such as Michael Freet Jr., a firefighter with York Area United Fire & Rescue.
"It was wonderful," he said of the service.
Freet said he had never been to anything like it. After 28 years as a firefighter, the Glen Rock resident said being recognized for his service made him feel "relieved, like a weight's been lifted."
Heroes: The contemporary service featured live music, a choir, lots of clapping and the occasional "Amen" shouted from the congregation.
Rob Tomes, a pastor at First Assembly of God in Manchester Township and member of the York City Police Chaplain Corps, served as the guest speaker. In uniform with a badge on his left breast, he delivered an animated sermon about heroes. By the time he was finished, he was wearing a Captain America T-shirt.
But fictional superheroes aren't the real heroes — true heroes shoulder the weight of the world, see ugliness each day and still have enough compassion for people that they will run into a burning building, Tomes said.
"They are the real heroes in our community," he said.
For Pastor Eddie Hutcheson, it took a team of heroes to put out the fire on that snowy February day, when ice slid off the church's roof, breaking and igniting a gas line. The fire department put down plastic tarps to decrease water damage to the church, he said.
"They really saved a lot of work for us," Hutcheson said. "They just did a fantastic job."
The service was the first of its kind at Asbury, and the church might hold a similar one for first responders next year, he said.
"Those people really do save lives every day," Hutcheson said. "You always need those folks."

Tags: International roaming, Settings
Choose when you want to use data overseas
Most phones give you the option to turn access to data while roaming on and off, allowing you to control when your phone is able to access data while you're overseas.
Unless you're using $5 Roaming, your roaming data charges are higher than within Australia, and excluded from monthly billed plans. So they can add up pretty quickly.
Many phones will use data in the background without you even noticing. So even if you're not planning on actively using data, it's a good idea to make sure it's switched off if you're worried about costs.
Similarly if you're using Wi-Fi overseas and the signal drops, your phone can switch back to a mobile network without you noticing. Turning data roaming off stops this from happening.
Most phones disable roaming data by default. So if you do want to use it, you'll often need to go in and switch it on first.
Visit our interactive user guides.
Select the make and model of your phone.
Use the search box provided and search the term 'data roaming'.
If the option is available, you'll see a link titled 'Turn data roaming on or off', click it to view instructions.

Mississippi is failing to investigate most child abuse complaints from children in its care within the required 24 hours or complete most investigations within 30 days, a new report shows.
That is one of the findings released by the independent monitor appointed by a federal court to oversee the state's progress in meeting requirements of a 2008 settlement. The settlement stemmed from a class-action lawsuit filed by a child's advocacy group in 2004 regarding the state's care of children.

Queen of Angels students experience benefits of exercise, proper nutrition
Queen of Angels Catholic School students received a hands-on learning experience about physical fitness and nutrition from the University of Pittsburgh on Friday.
Students witnessed a presentation inside a mobile lab from Pitt's Clinical Translational Science Institute outside the North Huntingdon Township school, and participated in various exercises.
"We're more concerned about them gaining an understanding on how exercise is good for their health," mobile lab science education facilitator Tim McMurray said. "Not just on the muscular level; we want them to understand the health benefits of it when it comes to skeletal muscles, cardiac muscles, and smooth muscles and how it can help with things like digestion and stuff like that."
Students in fourth through eighth grades participated in one-hour sessions.
McMurray and other staffers talked about how exercise impacts the brain and how it teaches cognitive alertness, as well as burns calories and affects heart rates.
"We give them a pedometer, a little thing that tells you how many steps you take, so we have a calculation," McMurray said. "It's good for this age group ... They're all different. We just try and give them the impression that they should be getting exercise and they should be eating properly. These kids are great because they're actually involved in a lot of sports. They're all pretty active. They're all pretty alert."
Fourth-graders Angelena Rico and Kendall Ruffner, 9, said they learned a lot about nutrition and liked running around.
"If you eat too much calories it isn't good for you because it makes you have too much fat on your body," Angelena said. "That isn't very good for you so you have to stay active."
"I learned that when you exercise it's better for your body," Kendall said. "If you don't exercise, you can get overweight and you're not healthy and you don't want to have that happen to you."
"Always try to be active," fourth-grader Zach Dlugos said. "It's fun to be active and you always have something to do. We threw the football around. That was probably the best part."
Fourth-grader Sebastian Kline said he learned the importance of going outside more instead of playing video games, and wants to see more activities like the one on Friday.
The mobile lab visit was organized by sixth- and seventh-grade science teacher Julie Jonczak, who saw it at one of the university's football games.
Jonczak said it's important for students to learn about physical fitness at a young age.
"By the time they're older, it's in their brain," Jonczak said. "In fifth grade we already did the body (lessons) at the beginning of the year.
Middle school is doing the body now in wellness class. It's like a health class ... They really enjoy the hands-on activity and see how it works in real life, not just something they read in a book. We'll have worksheets and next week we'll talk about what they did, why they did it and what it means to them."
More information about the mobile lab is available online at www.mobilelab.pitt.edu.

Warrant turned up multiple weapons in Blair County shooter's home, from his vehicles
State police at Hollidaysburg confiscated multiple weapons from the home and vehicles of a 44-year-old man who shot and killed three unarmed people near his home in a rural Blair County village on Dec. 21.
Search warrant documents filed this week in the Blair County Prothonotary's Office disclosed that investigators confiscated a Mossberg shotgun, a rifle, a Glock 23 pistol and a .22-caliber rifle, along with a stun gun, four pocket knives and ammunition from the home and vehicles of Jeffrey Lee Michael, 44, of 107 Lower Reese Road, Geeseytown.
Police confiscated the weapons hours after Michael's deadly shooting spree along a one-mile stretch of road in the tiny village, according to court documents.
After fatally shooting two neighbors and a woman decorating a Christmas tree in a church across from his home, state police troopers killed Michaels in a shootout.
According to The Associated Press, the affidavit disclosed that Michael, an unemployed truck driver, "was warning people that the end of the world was coming" on Dec. 20. Among them was the 19-year-old son of his live-in girlfriend.
Although separate inquiries of the police shooting, through Blair County District Attorney Richard Consiglio and a state police internal investigation, determined the shooting was justified, Cpl. Ken Butler of the Hollidaysburg barracks said Thursday that police are still pursuing the matter.
"We want to see where and how the guns were purchased or how they were obtained. We believe we know how the shootings occurred, but we still want to analyze the evidence we now have," Butler said.
Michael had separated from his wife and was living in a one-story frame home with Brenda Shultz and her son, Lance. Court documents said Michael was under a protection of abuse order obtained by his wife in 2010.
If Michael obtained the guns while under the court order, those who supplied the firearms could face criminal charges, authorities said.
Police said Michael loaded up his pickup truck with weapons, fired at Juniata Valley Gospel Church across from his home, then entered and killed church volunteer Kimberly A. Scott, 58, of Duncansville. Michael then gunned down two of his neighbors, Ken Lynn, 60, and Lynn's son-in-law, William "Bill" Rhodes Jr., 38. Each victim died of a single gunshot.
According to the warrant affidavit, police initially responded after Rose Lynn, the wife of Ken, telephoned 911 to report her husband had been shot.
As Michael drove away, he then crashed into a pickup truck driven by Rhodes. Michael shot Rhodes after the accident, police said.
The affidavit reported that Michael fired at Troopers David Nazaruk and Timothy Strohmyer with a handgun as they passed his truck. The troopers turned around and then chased Michael's truck and saw it slam into a cruiser driven by Cpl. Kevin Campbell, according to the warrant.
The affidavit disclosed that Nazaruk and Strohmyer fired at Michael as the gunman left his white Ford pickup truck and was preparing to fire at Campbell, who was injured. All three troopers were treated and released from the hospital the day of the shooting.
Numerous witnesses have told police that Michael was acquainted with Lynn and Rhodes, but did not know Scott.
Shultz told police that Michael had been involved in a fatal traffic accident in March 2012 and had been having trouble afterwards. Friends of Michael reported that a woman had stepped in front of his tractor-trailer in 2009.

Website helps reunite hotel guests with their lost items
Chargerback.com provides hotel guests with a chance to find something they left behind
Published On: Apr 05 2013 08:13:01 AM EDT
More than 46 million items are left behind in hotel rooms each year, but now there's a new way for their owners to get them back.
It's called Chargerback-- and it's making life a little bit easier for those guests and the hotels where they spent their time.
According to its website, less than 10 percent of lost items are given back to their owners under normal circumstances. But customers who use Chargerback find the items 90 percent of the time.
Instead of putting an item that's found in a room into a lost and found, hotel workers can upload a description of the item to the website. Once a guest returns home and realizes they've lost an item, he or she can log onto the website and type up a description. If there's a match, both are notified.

Fanta Ume – Plum Flavored
I am a sucker for new soft drinks, and as much as I try to stay away from commercial stuff I can't help but following all the new flavors put out by Pepsi and Fanta. Here's a shining new star in the Fanta family – the Fanta Ume. Ume is the Japanese plum that is inedible to humans as a fruit but delicious when properly prepared, for example as pickled sour umeboshi or as a super sweet umeshu, ume liqueur. This one however is not sour at all, but sweet, very similar to the Apple flavored Fanta. Easily one of the best Fanta flavors ever, I give it four and a half fruits of five possible – it would have scored perfectly if it had been a bit more sour or even vinegary in taste. Still, it will be hard to go back to normal boring orange or grape Fanta after this.
By the way, I really wish Fanta would sponsor me for writing about these things. One can dream…?
Seasonal Pepsi – Summer and Winter
It's been awhile since I blogged about soft drinks, but I found these two different label variations of the new winter Pepsi, Pepsi White. I think there is a third as well but I am not that desperate to get a perfect collection! The new ones made me think about an old one from the summer, Salty Watermelon, that I had bought but forgotten about. I still haven't tried any of them but, if you'd like to give me a review I'd be happy! The winter Pepsi is Winter Mikan flavored, coming from the Japanese custom of staying snug and cozy under the kotatsu (a heated table common in many cold Japanese homes) while eating mikan. The summer one comes from another common Japanese custom of ever so slightly salting their watermelon to get a more intense flavor!
Soft Drink Mayhem
Ok, I know I am being a bad boy here – you are not supposed to take pictures inside convenience stores, but look at it as free advertising. Just look at this mayhem of soft drinks! Can any country top Japan's fantastic convenience stores? I'd like to direct your attention to one in particular, the most expensive one, that is nothing less than the first Ichigo Daifuku soft drink (あまおう大福ミルク)! Joy oh joy! Whatever will they think of next? Being a penny pincher though, I actually opted, this time, for the chupa chups one (top right), that actually tasted like drinking lolipops. Just like the Fanta I blogged about a couple of days ago. This autumn is proving to be a bonanza for weird soft drink lovers like me! Oh, and you can tell hard core soft drink lovers by them always starting with the paper package drink sections: cheaper and with a faster turn over!
Fanta Strawberry Cream Soda
It has been a long time since I found any interesting new Fanta flavors (I haven't posted about the massive soda machine at the Wendy's restaurant in Omotesando), but I tried this one out on the shinkansen last week. It was actually quite good, like drinking a lollipop. I know sodas are very bad for your health, but I indulge every now and then, when something new comes along. If you see it, get one while it lasts!

Old dogs learn new tricks
The Construction CPD Certification Service has launched a free skills framework and a new CAD and IT Training Division. The skills framework (which can be downloaded at www. cpduk. co. uk) is designed to help construction organisations identify the CAD and IT training needs of all employees, from administration to senior management.
The developments are in response to an industry-wide research study.
In order to assess the level of IT competence among employees,600 construction organisations across sectors, including architecture, were sampled. Alarmingly, the findings suggested that people were 'generally ignorant of computers and their technology'.
Final published statistics revealed that 70 per cent of those questioned did not know how to integrate their CAD and IT systems, and, of all groups, it was principals, directors and senior managers who had the least CAD knowledge. Fortunately for those with red faces, help is at hand. Courses on offer include principles of CAD/IT and drawing, and document storing and archiving.

Can you believe Halloween is right around the corner? With midterms week and the cold weather finally starting to kick in, I know that the holiday definitely crept up on me. On such short notice, you may be lacking the funds necessary to pull off the Halloween extravaganza you pulled last year, but fear not! I've got some money and time-saving tips to make this year's celebration become one of your best college memories.
You can't do Halloween without dressing up, obviously, but if you've been to one of the seasonal costume stores at the mall yet, you've probably noticed how expensive pre-made costumes can get. Not to mention, by buying a pre-made costume at the store, you automatically know your costume is not unique. What if you show up to your Halloween party and you're one of 7 different people who decided to be Snooki? Consider a few of these fun and creative ideas:
Generational Costumes: Choose your favorite decade (50′s, 60′s, 70′s, etc…) and use old clothes you haven't worn in years to complete your outfit.
- Use preppy blouses and polos for the retro 50′s feel,
- Tie dye and peace sign items for the 1960′s hippie look
- Sunglasses and bell-bottom pants to look like a 70′s disco master
- Leggings with wide-necked sweatshirts to get the feel of the 80′s
What's great about generational outfits is that most of us have these items lying around so this is basically a cost-free costume. Even if 5 people at your party decide to be hippies, your costume will be made up using your own closet, therefore making it completely unique.
Inanimate objects: Some of the best and most creative costumes I've seen are completely unconventional and sometimes a little odd. For example, one of the best costumes I saw was when someone decided to dress up as a calculator. They simply bought two pieces of large posterboard, drew calculator buttons on the front, and tied it around their neck with some string. These costumes tend to require some time and effort, but won't cost you more than $10 at CVS.
Pop culture icons: In today's world, there are so many unique icons that literally throw on ANYTHING to make an outfit.
- Anything sparkly, unconventional, and a little "out there" could be considered the perfect Lady Gaga costume.
- Throw some white power or facepaint on and suddenly you've become someone right out of the "Twilight" movies.
- Cover your face in bronzer or tan face paint and you'll look like you just came back from the Jersey Shore.
- Wrap a heavy belt around you ankle, and suddenly you're Lindsay Lohan with her S.C.R.A.M. bracelet.
Simply browse through a few pages of Perez Hilton for ideas- the possibilities are endless.
Maybe you're big into partying, maybe you're not. Regardless, here are some fun ideas for Halloween that may be even more fun than the traditional food, drink, and apple bobbing.
Haunted Houses: This may sound a little cliche', but ridiculously fake haunted mansions never fail to scare people out of their minds. Whether it's the creepy clowns that roam the parking lot to get visitors fired up or the dark rooms filled with fake blood and gore- you will have the time of your life. To find the haunted house closest to you, check out MA Haunted House's official website.
The Bridgewater Triangle: The Bridgewater Triangle is a 200 sq. mile area that includes parts of the towns of Taunton, Easton, Raynham, Bridgewater and Lakeville- just to name a few. It's often called the most concentrated area of paranormal activity in the state of Massachusetts. Centered around a swamp rumored to be cursed by a native american tribe a long time ago, taking a walk through on Halloween night could definitely be really fun.
Salem, MA: If you remember from my Day Trip ideas post, Salem, MA is the place to be during the Halloween season. The old Salem Witch Trials seem to have had the opposite effect that the Puritans wanted. It has literally become a Mecca for witches (not the cliche Disney villan "witch," but people who actually practice the art of witchcraft) all over New England. Aside from that, there's great restaurants and live entertainment- you might just learn something new as well!
Try something new this Halloween and get your friends involved! You can have parties for the rest of your life, but take advantage of these new ideas to mix things up a bit!
What was the best Halloween costume you ever had? Ever been to any "haunted" places? Feel free to leave suggestions in the comments for other fun, alternative things to do this weekend!

Is this 'most racist commercial in history'?
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 05/02/2013 @ 12:42 am In Money | No Comments
(Yahoo!News) Picture a grim police line-up with five young African American men in stereotypical "thug" garb, and a goat. That's just the opening shot.
PepsiCo has announced it is pulling its new ad for Moutain Dew after a storm of criticism this week. Social commentator Dr. Boyce Watkins wrote on his blog that the spot was "arguably the most racist commercial in history." He continues, "Mountain Dew has set a new low for corporate racism. Their decision to lean on well-known racial stereotypes is beyond disgusting. This doesn't even include the fact that the company has put black men on par with animals."

It's shaping up to be a truly terrible PR week for the Obama administration. How bad?
Well, The New York Times Editorial Board ran a scathing piece in response to Obama's alleged lack of knowledge about the NSA's activities. They skipped the foreplay and got right into it in the first paragraph: "The White House response on Monday to the expanding disclosures of American spying on foreign leaders, their governments and millions of their citizens was a pathetic mix of unsatisfying assurances about reviews under way, platitudes about the need for security in an insecure age, and the odd defense that the president didn't know that American spies had tapped the German chancellor's cellphone for 10 years."
When was the last time the Grey Lady labeled anything Obama-related "pathetic"?
The Washington Post's Dana Milbank was similarly unimpressed with Obama's recent claims of ignorance: "For a smart man, President Obama professes to know very little about a great number of things going on in his administration," Milbank wrote this week.
And then there's Senator Dianne Feinstein's completely unexpected 180-degree flip-flop on the topic of surveillance: previously a vocal supporter of the NSA's activities, she is now calling for a "total review of all intelligence programs."
