Presbyterian church in Wis. to ordain 1st gay man
SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. More than two decades after Scott Anderson told his California congregation that he was gay and therefore must resign as its pastor, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A) is preparing to welcome him back with mostly open arms.
Anderson will be ordained Saturday in his new home of Madison, Wis., as the denomination's first openly gay minister, marking the latest mainline Protestant church to move toward accepting homosexual relationships.
During a recent interview, Anderson, 56, recalled being in the closet from 1983 to 1990 while serving as a minister in Sacramento. He told the congregation the truth and resigned as pastor after a couple learned he was gay and tried to use the information against him.
"That was really the best and worst moment of my life," Anderson said. "It was the best because I was able to claim for the first time who I was as a gay man. That was incredibly empowering. But there was also the sadness, the grief of leaving the ministry and what I loved."
Saturday's ordination at Covenant Presbyterian Church was made possible by decades of debate over whether openly gay people should be allowed to serve in the church. The church constitution used to include language requiring that clergy live "in fidelity within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman, or chastity in singleness."
The Presbyterian national assembly last year endorsed removing that rule. The change was approved in May by a majority of the denomination's 173 regional church bodies.
Jennifer Sauer, who attends Anderson's church, said she was thrilled about his upcoming ordination.
"Anyone who knows Scott sees his extraordinary gift of ministry, his ability to preach the word, his compassion, his humility," said Sauer, 41, of Madison. "If there have been any negative rumblings at all, I sure haven't heard about it."
But some conservatives who disapprove of ordaining homosexuals have threatened to leave, said Tom Hay, the director of operations for the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A).
"The Episcopalians, the Lutherans, the United Church of Christ have all made this step and all have experienced losses," he said. "I would expect we will, too. I would grieve that and hope we can find better solutions than to break apart."
Several reasons have been cited for the loosened restrictions: the trend in broader American society toward accepting same-sex relationships, decreased interest in continuing the debate, and the departure of some conservative churches from presbyteries, which changed the balance of votes in some regions.
Anderson said he felt a calling to the ministry when he was a sophomore in high school, several years before he became aware of his sexual preference.
But he wasn't convinced of his career decision. He studied political science at the University of California, Davis and considered a law career. Eventually, he decided to attend a seminary.
"In my first year there I fell in love with another man," he said. "At that point I had to make a decision: Do I follow the call and stay in the closet, or come out and be honest about who I am and leave the seminary?"
At that point the calling was strong enough that he remained. But when he was later forced to come out he was in emotional turmoil. He expected anger and rejection when he told his congregation of about 400 he would leave, perhaps for graduate school. Instead he received love and affirmation - along with a check to cover the entire two years of schooling.
He spent a year away from the church coming to grips with who he was as an outed gay man. His parents were shocked at first but became more supportive as they realized he was the same person they'd always known.

Songbird sings from the heart
Each word can tear you apart
I sing, you sing along
You find your life in my song
When you need the strength to carry on
You've got me to turn to
With the songs that I sing and the magic they bring
They've helped you be strong now
The song sets you free but who sings to me
I'm all alone now, who sings for songbird?
Sometimes when I'm all alone
I sing my saddest song
Lonely, and no one can see
This time the song is for me
I can touch your secret place inside
And still you don't know me
With the songs that I sing and the magic they bring
You've learned to be strong now
My song sets you free but who sings to me
I'm all alone now, where is my songbird?
Where is my songbird? Who sings his song for me?

Do you think it's safer to buy a wood bed or a resin bed in terms of safety?
1. Kidcraft's race car bed is made of wood. States, the bed is made overseas and conforms to safety standards.
2 Step 2 is a resin that's made in the usa, but not sure about phthalates?
Both websites are vague. I'll call them tomorrow, but was wondering if anyone did the research or has any valuable info.

I am trying to create a new sencha touch app using "sencha generate app MyApp ../MyApp" command on Windows.
I have done the following :
Downloaded the latest sencha SDK and extracted it in folder "D:\MyProjects\sencha-touch-2.1.0-gpl" folder.
Installed the sencha SDK tools in "D:\MyProjects\SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3" folder.
Ensured that the system environment variable "SENCHA_SDK_TOOLS_2_0_0_BETA3" is indeed pointing to "D:\MyProjects\SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3"
As per the sencha documentation I am supposed to run the sencha command in the sencha SDK or application folder.
So if I cd to folder "D:\MyProjects\sencha-touch-2.1.0-gpl" and run "sencha generate app MyApp ../MyApp", I get this warning message
**"[WARN] The current working directory (D:\MyProjects\sencha-touch-2.1.0-gpl) is not a recognized Sencha SDK or application folder. Running in backwards compatible mode."**
Why does not sencha recognize this as the SDK folder?
Looking at the code in "sencha.js" file included as part of the sdk tools, it seems that sencha is looking for a ".senchasdk" file.
So I tried the same command from one of the subfolders in the examples folder (since this folder contains a .senchasdk file)
Now I end up with an error
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
Error: Cannot find module 'D:\MyProjects\sencha-touch-2.1.0-gpl\command\sencha.js'
at Function._resolveFilename (module.js:332:11)
at Function._load (module.js:279:25)
at Array.0 (module.js:479:10)
at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:192:40)"
Since it seemed as if sencha was looking for a non existing folder called "command", I copied the contents of SDK tools folder to a new folder called "command" placed it under D:\MyProjects\sencha-touch-2.1.0-gpl\ folder.
Executing the sencha generate command, results in an infinite loop and a lot of Node.exe processes are spawned (observed via TaskManager).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Won't you stop and take
A little time out with me
Just take five
Stop your busy day
And take the time out
To see if I'm alive
Though I'm going out of my way
Just so I can pass by each day
Not a single word do we say
It's a pantomime and not a play
Still, I know our eyes often meet
I feel tingles down to my feet
When you smile, that's much too discreet
Sends me on my way
Wouldn't it be better
Not to be so polite
You could offer a light
Start a little conversation now
It's alright, just take five
Just take five
(Repeat all from 2nd verse on)

While Ratliff does intend to retire, he stopped short of closing the door entirely on his playing career. "I've enjoyed my time playing the game," he said. "I'm not saying that if a position came open later on in the year, I wouldn't look at the opportunity. I haven't concentrated on playing. I've been in negotiations all summer trying to make sure guys get back to work."

Chertoff Unveils FEMA Changes on Eve of Hearing
Embattled Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announces changes in the way the Federal Emergency Management Agency deals with major disasters. New measures include a full-time response force and an improved tracking system for supplies.
Chertoff also rejected criticism that his department prioritizes dealing with terrorist threats over natural disasters, while accepting responsibility for the failures during the response effort to Hurricane Katrina.
Chertoff is due to face lawmakers Tuesday as a House committee prepares to officially release a scathing report into the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina. The report targets Chertoff for much criticism.

VANCOUVER — On the cusp of Halloween, the Clark College German Club will offer a free public screening of an early German classic: "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari."
The silent, black-and-white 1919 film will be presented Wednesday evening with a live performance by Gideon Freudmann on the electric cello.
A haunting score, Freudmann's specialty, should add to the "moody masterpiece of German Expressionism," said Clark German professor Julian Nelson.
The sharply stylized film stars the title character, who displays a sleepwalker as a circus novelty act to murderous and zombielike consequences. With its mad-doctor theme and striking visuals, the movie set the tone for horror films to follow decades later.
For a short clip — it may take a few moments for the link to load — see: http://cellobop.com/caligaridvd.htm.
Wednesday's event runs 7 to 9 p.m. in the Penguin Student Lounge, in the Penguin Union Building on Clark's main campus, 1933 Fort Vancouver Way. Seating will begin about 6:45 p.m., available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Vietnamese people
There are always two sides to a story, and if the story is about a war, surely it has various dimensions. For a historian, it is not an easy task to keep track of the motives and intentions behind certain acts of war. There are no two opinions about investigating the causes and effects of a war. However, the insight one could get from those who lived through a war has a distinct position above all other tools of inquiry.
Any professor of history teaching in the United States would tell you that 'Vietnam War' took place to protect the 'good folks' of the south from 'bad people' of the north. Despite losing more than 58, 000 troops, and withdrawing after a humiliating defeat in Vietnam, the United States still considers the war in Vietnam as 'just another mistake' in the Cold War.
Nevertheless, America's campaign in Vietnam, which lasted more than a decade, had a profound impact on millions of Vietnamese. For these people, this war is not the Vietnam War: they call it the 'American War'.
There is a whole generation of people with vivid memories of days and nights of war. For a large number of Vietnamese, the war was just another USA campaign, to serve its own interest. People still remember the times when there were non-stop radio broadcasts about how 'American Wolves' were tearing apart their beloved land.
The Vietnamese people lived under war and oppression for a very long time. When asked about their opinion on the war, a common question that comes from many Vietnamese is 'which war?' There is sill a whole generation of people who spent their childhood learning about the atrocities committed by the French, when Vietnam was a colony of France.
The dispute with the French ended with a split of the single Vietnam into South and North units. However, different political affiliations of the governments of the two units paved the way for another war, a more deadly war – the 'American War'. And then after 15 years of hell, a border dispute with China brought another war for the Vietnamese people, The Atlantic reports.
Although Vietnam is not the only nation on this planet to have been profoundly shaped by wars and chaos, the impact of war on the lives of people was incredible and long-lasting. Caught in a tussle between Communist North and Capitalist South, the common Vietnamese had absolute no idea what were they paying for.

National WE Day 'Caps' Off the Year
What an amazing way to wrap up the WE Day season! National WE Day was our first WE Day in the Ottawa-Gatineau region, and it couldn't have been more inspiring! From speakers like Martin Sheen, Rob Stewart and Helene Campbell, to rocking performances by Neverest, Kardinal Offishall, Tyler Shaw and Shawn Desman, the crowd of 4000 shameless idealists left the Robert Guertin Centre pumped up and ready to take action!
We kicked off the day with a motivating speech from 13-year-old Sydney Brouillard-Coyle, a WE Day veteran who joined us at WE Days across the country after taking part in ME to WE's Take Action Camp last summer. Sydney told the crowd about her motivation to take action, and her dream to become Prime Minister in 40 years. She even got to meet Prime Minister Harper before today's show . She would get our vote!
After Free The Children's co-founders Craig and Marc Kielburger welcomed the crowd, we heard from inspiring speaker Frank O'Dea. Forty years ago, Frank was homeless on the streets of Toronto with little hope and no motivation. However, after receiving a small act of kindness from a stranger, he began his journey out of poverty and, ultimately, became the co-founder of Second Cup Cafe."Just because somebody reached out to help me… they changed my life." Frank's inspiring story of success is proof that sometimes all it takes is a tiny act of kindness to transform a life.
Inspiring speakers Jennifer Botterill and Jillian Vanstone then motivated the crowd with stories of their drive to succeed. "Not everything in life is perfect, but we can all strive for excellence,"said Botterill, a retired Canadian national hockey player, encouraging the young audience to work as a team to make a difference.
In the afternoon, award-winning filmmaker and biologist Rob Stewart entranced the crowd with tales from under the sea. Fascinated by sharks since the age of nine, Rob travelled to 12 countries to make his stunning film, Sharkwater. Rob's second film, Revolution , just hit theatres in Canada. He encouraged the young audience to take action to help preserve our environment.
Actor and activist Martin Sheen followed up Rob Stewart's fascinating stories with an equally riveting speech, and encouraged the youth in the audience to take action about issues they care about. "We are not asked to do great things, we are asked to do all things with greater care," he said in his now iconic WE Day speech. He was followed by ME to WE's newest motivational speaker, Molly Burke, who also encouraged the audience to find their passion for a cause by telling her own powerful story. Bullied throughout school and blind since the age of 14, Molly's story of overcoming bullying captivated the crowd. She spoke about the importance of finding your voice, but referenced the recent We are Silent campaign to show that that silence can be powerful too.
National Inuit Leader in Canada, Terry Audla, took the stage next. Audla spoke passionately about the need to develop the Inuit community within Canada, and the necessity of preserving the environment for future generations. His speech uplifted the audience, with memorable quotes like "We are the change. You may stumble and trip, but never give up. There's a tomorrow and it'll be sunnier."
Our next speaker proved that sometimes you choose your cause, but sometimes your cause chooses you. After being diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, Helene Campbell from Ottawa was told she would have to undergo a double-lung transplant. Reaching out for support via social media, Campbell and her moving story grabbed the attention of celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres. Campbell's double-lung transplant was a success, and she continues to raise awareness for organ donation.
Craig and Marc Kielburger returned to the stage near the end of the day to celebrate the progress that youth had made in the past year, and to encourage them to continue taking action. Their message segued into a charged performance by the incredible Kardinal Offishall and Karl Wolf who got the audience pumped up to change the world. We can't wait to see the local and global impacts when the audience takes that energy back to their communities!
A huge thank you goes out to the students, educators, sponsors, speakers and performers who made National WE Day such a success! It was a celebration we won't soon forget! Have an incredible summer and we'll see you in the fall!
In partnership with EF Educational Tours (@eftourscanada), National WE Day brought students and educators to the Ottawa-Gatineau region from across Canada as part of an educational school trip to engage students in leadership training and expand their classroom, enabling them to "learn it by living it."

Some fans find it hard to forgive Michael Vick
Six years after a federal judge sentenced Michael Vick to prison for running an illegal dog-fighting ring, some fans still harbor anger and hatred toward the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback. Vick was planning to sign autographs in York, Pa., this week, but the event was canceled when Joe Bartolo, owner of JJ Cards-N-Toys and the event's host, received thousands of online death threats directed at him and his family.
"I'm a dog lover and an animal person," said Bartolo, who had to shut down his store's Facebook page because of the threats. "I know what he did was wrong, and he served his time in prison. You need to give a person a second chance is our philosophy in life."
This is not the first time an event featuring Vick has been called off due to death threats. Earlier this year, book-signing events in Philadelphia and Atlanta were canceled when organizers and Vick received death threats—mostly posted online.
After serving 18 months in federal prison, Vick has worked to clean up his image and earn the forgiveness of fans, including admitting his guilt, apologizing for his crimes, donating money to Philadelphia charities, and working with animal-rights groups to end dog-fighting. He led the way in publicly offering forgiveness to teammate Riley Cooper earlier this year after Cooper used a racial slur at a concert.
Vick, 33, has also professed a rediscovered faith in Christ, saying in 2010 that "God has taken [my life] over."
Yet many fans have not forgotten the gruesome details of animal abuse and torture unveiled by state and federal investigators in 2007. The images of the wounded dogs still circulate online, fueling anger toward Vick.
Forgiveness does not mean forgetting. Vick's crimes should not be forgotten—animal cruelty is a real issue and his involvement with animals should be monitored. But when fans use Vick's sins to vindicate their own, perhaps forgiveness is the only option.

Park is all back-in sites. I did see a couple of motorhomes pull through the rear neighbor site instead of having to back in.
Sites are all gravel with some small shrubs around.
Showers are a bit strange - each of the 2 showers has its own separate toilet enclosure, but you must walk thru first shower dressing area to get to second shower dressing area. Fortunately showers I took I was the only one in the bathroom.
Park hosts are fantastic and bake chocolate chip cookies each morning. We were given 4 on arrival!
I would stay here again! (and it appears lots of people do!) - DCM/JMB
Aug 2015 - $18.00
Passport America rate for a FHU, 50 amp, level site for three quiet nights. They even gave us free cookies at registration. Good park WiFi reception. Good Verizon cell and MiFi reception. Good satellite reception. Sites are well marked and separated by landscape timbers. We stayed here in a 33' motorhome and would stay here again. - Dave51

Rate reflects price for a weekend visit (not including the online reservation fee). It's a small park in a slightly out-of-the-way place, but still proved very popular. The day use area has a mile or two of hiking trails, along with picnic areas. Campground was fully booked when we visited, with several tents and two or three cars parked at each site. Fortunately a state park ranger made a couple rounds in the evening, along with volunteer hosts who were very attentive. A handful of utility sites are on a loop by the entrance, but the most secluded sites are in the back of the park. Creek runs by many of the sites. However you are not allowed to set up tents on the grassy banks. Facilities were disappointing, even by state park standards. The bathhouse seems to be original to the park, and was very dirty and smelly. The coin-operated shower in the men's room doesn't drain properly, causing water to pool by the toilets and sinks. - RVNed
Aug 2006 - $21.00
This campground was very busy and noisy. I'm sure during the off season it would be a great place to stay. The utility sites are very close together and dusty. We were in site #2 and had 3 trees next to us which gave us more room than some of the other sites. There are only 6 utility sites and the rest are standard. The dump station is located just outside the park going north. This is a first come first serve park and if you get here by 2pm midweek you shouldn't have a problem getting in. There are 2 restrooms and 1 shower along with a very small store which carries ice and dry goods like soap and sponges, they do not stock food. We would stay here again as an overnighter. - jannie5

Very clean and well maintained resort. The sites are roomy and they have a nice clubhouse, DVD library, and book exchange. Our Verizon worked well. This was 50 amp and full hookups. They charge $1 a day for cable and it is worth it. It is a quiet and we will return. - rolling homeless
Sep 2014 - $12.00
Rate is RPI, we paid for the WiFi and the Cable. The pool was already winterized but looked great. New big clubhouse. Backins are part gravel/grass. Long enough for huge rigs but the width was small for slides when all sites are occupied. It was quiet when we were here so it did not bother us. Paved interior roads. Very friendly staff, some big trees, very quiet. We will sure some back. - Traveller Excel
Sep 2014 - $2.00
I notice no reviews for two years so here is an update. Very nice park, tidy, and friendly staff. Back-in was long enough that our 44 ft 5er and large truck were able to stay hooked up. Free Wi-Fi but not working the night we were there. Good 50 amp power and clear sky for satellite. Price is Coast-to-Coast Premier. Would certainly stop again. - TedandJan

Pemetrexed for primary central nervous system lymphoma in the elderly.
Clin Transl Oncol. 2015; [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: Twelve histologically confirmed newly diagnosed PCNSL patients older than 65 years were studied between 2008 and 2013. An induction chemotherapy was initially given (pemetrexed 600 mg/m(2) on day 1, every 3 weeks). Patients achieving a complete, partial response or stable disease proceeded to a maintenance phase (up to 6 cycles). Patients with progressive/recurrent disease (PD) were treated with whole brain radiotherapy on an individual basis.
RESULTS: Four patients presented complete response, six patients showed partial response and two patients presented progressive disease. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 9.0 months [95 % confidence interval (CI) 2.0-45.3] and the median overall survival was 19.5 months (95 % CI 5.0-45.3). Adverse events included leukocytopenia, anemia, fatigue, rash and vomiting. No neurotoxicity or treatment-related death was observed. The estimated 1-year and 2-year survival rate was 66.7 and 41.7 %, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: Our efficacy results demonstrate that the single-agent pemetrexed was feasible, active and well tolerated in elderly patients with PCNSL. Furthermore, this single-agent regimen results in higher response rates and less toxicity comparable with other chemotherapy or radiotherapy regimens. Prospectively, controlled studies are warranted to confirm such results.

Primary central nervous system lymphoma: is absence of intratumoral hemorrhage a characteristic finding on MRI?
Radiol Oncol. 2015; 49(2):128-34 [PubMed] Free Access to Full Article Related Publications
PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective cohort of brain tumors from August 2008 to March 2013 was searched, and 58 patients (19 with primary central nervous system lymphoma, 39 with glioblastoma multiforme) satisfied the inclusion criteria. Absence of gross intratumoral hemorrhage was examined on T2WI, and an intratumoral susceptibility signal was graded using a 3-point scale on susceptibility-weighted imaging. Results were compared between primary central nervous system lymphoma and glioblastoma multiforme, and values of P < 0.05 were considered significant.
RESULTS: Gross intratumoral hemorrhage on T2WI was absent in 15 patients (79%) with primary central nervous system lymphoma and 23 patients (59%) with glioblastoma multiforme. Absence of gross intratumoral hemorrhage could not differentiate between the two disorders (P = 0.20). However, intratumoral susceptibility signal grade 1 or 2 was diagnostic of primary central nervous system lymphoma with 78.9% sensitivity and 66.7% specificity (P < 0.001), irrespective of gross intratumoral hemorrhage.
CONCLUSIONS: Low intratumoral susceptibility signal grades can differentiate primary central nervous system lymphoma from glioblastoma multiforme. However, specificity in this study was relatively low, and primary central nervous system lymphoma cannot be excluded based solely on the presence of an intratumoral susceptibility signal.
CSF neopterin level as a diagnostic marker in primary central nervous system lymphoma.
Neuro Oncol. 2015; [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the characteristics of 124 patients with brain tumor (n = 82) or an inflammatory CNS disorder (n = 42) in whom CSF neopterin levels were assessed. Twenty-eight patients had PCNSL, 54 patients had another type of brain tumor (glioma n = 36, metastasis n = 13, other n = 5), and 13 patients had a pseudotumoral inflammatory brain lesion.
RESULTS: CSF neopterin levels were significantly higher in the patients with PCNSL than in those with other brain tumors (41.8 vs 5.1 nmol/L, P < .001), those with pseudotumoral inflammatory brain lesions (41.8 vs 4.3 nmol/L, P < .001), and those with nontumefactive inflammatory CNS disorders (41.8 vs 3.8 nmol/L, P < .001). In the 95 patients with space-occupying brain lesions, at a cutoff of 10 nmol/L, the sensitivity of this approach was 96% and the specificity was 93% for the diagnosis of PCNSL. The positive and negative predictive values were 84% and 98%, respectively.
CONCLUSION: Assessing CSF neopterin levels in patients with a suspected brain tumor might be helpful for the positive and differential diagnosis of PCNSL. A prospective study is warranted to confirm these results.

METHODS: Retrospective analysis, Kaplan-Meier analysis and Log-rank test were conducted on 30 PCNSL patients from 2006 to 2014 in our hospital.
RESULTS: The median age of this cohort (14 males and 16 females) was 57.4 years old. 18 cases had single tumor, 12 cases multiple. 17 cases presentd with intracranial hypertension and 13 cases focal neurological deficits. 13 cases (62%) were diffuse large B cell lymphoma. About 60% patients received combination therapy including surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. 63.3% complete remission rate (CR) was achieved for all patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Log-rank test showed the median overall survival (OS) was 24 months, the rates of 2-year survival, 5-year survival, 6-month progression-free survival(PFS) and 1-year free-progressed survival (PFS) were as of 46.7%, 13.3%, 60.0% and 43.3% respectively. The median OS of 11 patients received whole brain radiotherapy(WBRT)combined with chemotherapy was 48 months. The median OS of 7 patients treated with stereotactic radiosurgery(SRS) combined with chemotherapy had no significant difference when compared to the former (P=0.233). Survive analysis showed that age was prognostic factor for PCNSL patients(P=0.030).
CONCLUSION: Diffuse large B cell lymphoma was the main type of PCNSL, single or multiple location, presented with increased intracranial hypertension or focal neurological deficits. Age was the key prognostic factor for patients. Surgery was suitable for patients with supertentorial and superficial tumor or with acute intracranial hypertension syndrome. SRS was a feasible local therapy which alleviated the symptoms and led to less toxicity. PCNSL patients might benefit from multimode therapy.

Primary central nervous system lymphoma in a rheumatoid arthritis patient treated with methotrexate: a case report.
BMC Res Notes. 2015; 8:88 [PubMed] Free Access to Full Article Related Publications
CASE PRESENTATION: A Japanese female patient of between 60 and 70 years of age with rheumatoid arthritis was admitted to our hospital because of sudden convulsion and impaired consciousness. Just before admission, she was treated with adalimumab and methotrexate. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan showed a densely stained mass with surrounding edema in both frontal lobes and the left nucleus basalis, and enlarged lymph nodes in the right supraclavicular fossa. We performed a biopsy of the right cervical lymph node, but could not establish a histopathological diagnosis. In situ hybridization showed the presence of Epstein Barr virus, therefore we diagnosed this case as methotrexate-associated lymphoproliferative disorders mediated by Epstein Barr virus after considering the drug history of the patient. After we discontinued methotrexate, patient symptoms gradually improved. The masses at both frontal lobes and the left nucleus basalis were gradually regressed.
CONCLUSION: Since the frequency of methotrexate use and the maximum dosage has been increasing, particular attention should be paid to the development of methotrexate-associated lymphoproliferative disorders in rheumatoid arthritis patients who are treated with methotrexate.

BACKGROUND: PCNSL can present as an RPD. Differentiating PCNSL from other RPDs is critical because lymphomatous dementia may be reversible, and untreated PCNSL is fatal.
METHODS: We performed a meta-analysis of case reports of dementia from PCNSL (between 1950 and 2013); 20 patients (14 with lymphomatosis cerebri) met our criteria. We compared these patients to a case series of patients with RPD from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and other non-PCNSL etiologies (Sala et al, 2012. Alzheimer Dis Assoc Disord. 26:267-271).
RESULTS: Median age was 66 years (range 41 to 81); 70% were men. Time from symptom onset to evaluation was <6 months in 65%. No patients had seizures; 5% had headaches; 45% had non-aphasic speech difficulty. There was significantly more memory impairment in patients with PCNSL than other RPDs and significantly less myoclonus and parkinsonism. Behavioral changes and cerebellar signs were not significantly different. Significantly more patients with PCNSL than other RPDs had white matter changes; significantly fewer had atrophy. Elevated CSF protein and pleocytosis were more frequent in PCNSL; patients with other RPDs tended to have normal CSF±14-3-3 protein.
CONCLUSIONS: Unlike patients with RPD from other causes, those with PCNSL commonly present with impaired memory, apathy, and abnormal speech and gait, without headache, seizure, or myoclonus. White matter changes and CSF abnormalities predominate. Improved clinical awareness of PCNSL can prompt earlier diagnosis and treatment.

Neurol India. 2015 Jan-Feb; 63(1):77-82 [PubMed] Related Publications
AIM: To study the clinical and immunophenotypic profile of patients with a PCNSL who presented between the years 2000 and 2013 in a tertiary care center in South India.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective study. Demographic and clinical data were obtained from the clinical case records.
INCLUSION CRITERIA: Cases of PCNSL involving brain.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Cases of PCNSL involving the spinal cord, meninges and orbit as well as intravascular large B-cell lymphoma, lymphomas with evidence of systemic disease or secondary lymphomas. Archived slides and tissue blocks were retrieved. All cases had hematoxylin and eosin stained sections and immunohistochemistry for CD20, CD3, and MIB-1. Additional immunohistochemistry was performed for CD10, BCL6, and MUM1 on paraffin blocks with sufficient tissue.
RESULTS: There were a total of 73 cases with the mean age of presentation being 45.9 years (range 8-71 years) and with a male predominance (male: female (M:F) = 2.3:1). Headache was the commonest presenting complaint. The mean duration of symptoms was 10.6 weeks. All patients were immunocompetent. Most tumors were supratentorial in location. Out of 73 cases, 70 presented with a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), two with a Burkitt's lymphoma, and one with a lymphomatoid granulomatosis. Only 51 of the DLBCL cases had sufficient tissue for additional studies. Non-germinal center was the most common phenotype seen in 65.7% (33/51) of cases. Germinal center B-cell (GCB) phenotype was seen in 18/51 cases (34.3%).
CONCLUSION: DLBCL constituted the majority of PCNSLs and although non-germinal center was the predominant phenotype, more than a third of the cases were of the GCB phenotype. As the germinal center phenotype is known to have a better prognosis, further studies to explore its relevance in the Asian population are indicated.

Randomized phase III study of whole-brain radiotherapy for primary CNS lymphoma.
Neurology. 2015; 84(12):1242-8 [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: Patients with newly diagnosed PCNSL were randomized to high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX)-based chemotherapy alone or followed by WBRT. We hypothesized that the omission of WBRT would not compromise overall survival (OS; primary endpoint), using a noninferiority design with a margin of 0.9.
RESULTS: In the per-protocol population (n = 320), WBRT nonsignificantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) (median 18.2 vs 11.9 months, hazard ratio [HR] 0.83 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.65-1.06], p = 0.14) and significantly PFS from last HDMTX (25.5 vs 12.0 months, HR 0.65 [95% CI 0.5-0.83], p = 0.001), but without OS prolongation (35.6 vs 37.1 months, HR 1.03 [95% CI 0.79-1.35], p = 0.82). In the intent-to-treat population (n = 410), there was a prolongation by WBRT of both PFS (15.4 vs 9.9 months, HR 0.79 [95% CI 0.64-0.98], p = 0.034) and PFS from last HDMTX (19.4 vs 11.9 months, HR 0.72 [95% CI 0.58-0.89], p = 0.003), but not of OS (32.4 vs 36.1 months, HR 0.98 [95% CI 0.79-1.26], p = 0.98).
CONCLUSION: Although the statistical proof of noninferiority regarding OS was not given, our results suggest no worsening of OS without WBRT in primary therapy of PCNSL.
CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE: This study provides Class II evidence that in PCNSL HDMTX-based chemotherapy followed by WBRT does not significantly increase survival compared to chemotherapy alone. The study lacked the precision to exclude an important survival benefit or harm from WBRT.
First-line treatment and outcome of elderly patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL)-a systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis.
Ann Oncol. 2015; 26(7):1305-13 [PubMed] Related Publications
PATIENTS AND METHODS: A systematic review of studies about first-line therapy in immunocompetent patients ≥60 years with PCNSL until 2014 and a meta-analysis of individual patient data from eligible studies and international collaborators were carried out.
RESULTS: We identified 20 eligible studies; from 13 studies, we obtained individual data of 405 patients, which were pooled with data of 378 additional patients (N = 783). Median age and Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) was 68 years (range: 60-90 years) and 60% (range: 10%-100%), respectively. Treatments varied greatly, 573 (73%) patients received high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX)-based therapy. A total of 276 patients received whole-brain radiotherapy (median 36 Gy, range 28.5-70 Gy). KPS ≥ 70% was the strongest prognostic factor for mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 0.50, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.41-0.62]. After a median follow-up of 40 months, HD-MTX-based therapy was associated with improved survival (HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.53-0.93). There was no difference between HD-MTX plus oral chemotherapy and more aggressive HD-MTX-based therapies (HR 1.39, 95% CI 0.90-2.15). Radiotherapy was associated with an improved survival, but correlated with an increased risk for neurological side-effects (odds ratio 5.23, 95% CI 2.33-11.74).
CONCLUSIONS: Elderly PCNSL patients benefit from HD-MTX-based therapy, especially if combined with oral alkylating agents. More aggressive HD-MTX protocols do not seem to improve outcome. WBRT may improve outcome, but is associated with increased risk for neurological side-effects. Prospective trials for elderly PCNSL patients are warranted.

Population-based Incidence and Survival for Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma in Korea, 1999-2009.
Cancer Res Treat. 2015; [PubMed] Related Publications
Materials and Methods: Using the Korea National Cancer Incidence Database, 1,062 cases of PCNSL newly diagnosed from 1999 to 2009 were analyzed. The crude rate, age-standardized rate (ASR), and annual percent change were calculated. To estimate the observed survival, we restricted the data to between 1999 and 2007 and followed the cases until December 2010. The overall survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and piecewise Poisson regression model.
Results: The ASR for PCNSL between 1999 and 2009 was 0.17 per 100,000, and the annual percent change from 1999 to 2009 was 8.8% (p < 0.001). The ASR of males was higher than that of females, and the older groups (60s or over) showed the largest increase in incidence rates. For all ages, the five-year survival from PCNSL was 29.9% between 1999 and 2007. Survival from PCNSL is known to show strong association with age at diagnosis.
Conclusion: These results are similar to those of previous studies. Our findings may be helpful to clinicians and patients in determining long-term prognoses for PCNSL.
[Clinical characteristics and prognosis of 20 cases of primary central nervous system lymphoma].
Zhongguo Shi Yan Xue Ye Xue Za Zhi. 2015; 23(1):111-8 [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: The clinical and pathological features, diagnosis and treatment, curative efficacy and survival rate of 20 cases of primary central nervous system lymphoma were retrospectivaly analyzed.
RESULTS: The indicated that the clinical manifestations included headache, paralysis, seizures, dizziness and mental acuity, etc. There were 7 cases with single focus of lesion, 13 cases with multiple foci of lesions. The pathologic examimation showed 1 case of peripheral T-cell lymphoma and 19 cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma, they all were from non-germinal center. Out of 20 cases, 11 cases with Ki-67>75%,6 cases with Ki-67 50%-75%, 2 cases with Ki-67 25%-50% and 1 case with Ki-67 10%. Therapeutic evaluation were as follows: 10 cases with CR, 2 cases with PR, 6 cases with PD in 18 patients recieved treatment. The use of ritusimab in treatment or no use and number of lesion foci in cranium were related to survival time (P < 0.05) . The survival time in group with Ki-67(+)<75% was longer than that in group with Ki-67(+)>75% (P = 0.042). Age and CSF-TP level were related to curative effect (P < 0.05) .
CONCLUTION: There is no specific clinical manifestation. The physical examination and imageological diagnosis of PCNSL, as well as pathological biopsy are necessary for diagnose of PCNSL. The factors for poor prognosis include age > 60 years, CSF-TP > 600 mg/L, multiple lesions and Ki-67(+)>75%. PCNSL has high malignancy and poor prognosis. The chemotherapy based on high dose of MTX (among which MTX combined with rituximab) and HSCT after CR are the best treatment regimen for DLBCL.

Tallis by fireflytwinkletoesWatch
©2014-2016 fireflytwinkletoes
Amazing work *.*
The detail on her shoes is simply sublime. Gorgeous, gorgeous OC design - DerpyAshley, she's so very lovely! Adore how you captured the curves and the spikes in her manestyle. Especially love the base of the tail - looks so hard to translate into a plush with the delicate work there and yet it works so well with the overall image and you mastered it perfectly. And her horn looks absolutely magnificent. Just a very impressive design and execution. Lovely work as always!
There were a bunch of little details on this one that needed to be just so - I'm glad it turned out so well
Shucks, thanks so much! :3
I am so happy with Firefly's work. I am never unhappy when I see Tallis in my room! Firefly did a phenomenal job, I agree, and it was worth every last penny

Wow cools he is cool
O.O So detailed and beautiful!
omg, I was just looking around and here I see the most awesome looking cool pony I've seen in a long while!
Love the pattern for the tail on this and holy crap the pattern on the butt and extra bits on the feet are incredible!! *slow clap*
That pattern so sexy!
Woah, this is incredible firefly.... like seriously impressive i can't really express my amazement. Then again I shouldn't really be amazed because your work is always this good XD
/)^3^/) So kawaii!
Wow! That detail on those back legs! I can't even wrap my mind around it.
Love her tail too!
Love her tail too!
SO. COOL! Awesome job!!
What a Masterpiece. Can´t imagine how you get this Hoof-shoes and her CM. Her Mane and Tail are so cool!
Congrats with my full heart.
Congrats with my full heart.
OMG Those boots are killer! And I absolutely love the detailed work on her cutie mark and around her tail. ^__^
Very nice job on the shoes. It's quite common to make it ehh, stright on, which makes it look very flat.
Trying to pick my jaw up off the keyboard! (IT'SSssss..not working....) Unreal work. I would be hard pressed to get this in clay! Bloody Fantastic! (If you can't tell .....this one just has me floored!) It is such a pleasure to see this caliber of work on a Monday morning! Made me smile!
Aw, thanks! Well, if it was made in clay I'm sure the boots would be even more 3D and tree-like. I'd really like to try sculpting some time, but I'm sure I'd be terrible at it...
Those vine thingies are pretty sick. Did you line them with some stiffer fabric?
I used a layer of minky "heat n' bonded" to a layer of lining cotton, actually - bonding the two fabrics together makes it quite stiff.
Ah, thanks! I did something similar for the ears of my Flutterbat. You can make double-sided minky with heat n' bond!
Ah, yes! I bet it's not as soft as real double-sided minky, though - I find heat and bond tends to make things kind of...cardboardy. Which can be good, under the right circumstances!
Wow! Shes lovely..that mane and those shes must have been challenging well done!
Oooh that is awesome ^^
Her pattern is divine
Aw, thanks There are quite a few changes I'd want to make if I used it again, but I am happy with the general result. Particularly her head.
OH wow that's sick!!! (the good kind of sick, of course!)
I love the sharp ending mane around the head...very appealing and draws significant attention. Overall, the design is very balanced I feel...And I'm quite enjoying the Fleur body pattern shape. Haven't seen one of those yet I don't think

Thanks! I think I'd make a few changes to the pattern if I used it again - not that I expect to use this pattern very often. Unfortunately, to get truly "Fleur-like" proportions (with really sticky legs) I think I'd have to put some kind of wire support frame in
Yea, it's not a very popular OC body shape from what I've seen at least. For what it's meant to be, it get's the shape across. Form over function (that function being: a plush that can stand by itself ), is a tough call. I've seen some friggin accurate and awesome custom figures made, but I hear that characters like (stunningly accurate) Chrysalis and Cadence's have trouble staying up if they're not attached to some form of base or stand.

David Duchovny may not be returning as Fox Mulder any time soon, but any "X-Files" fans missing the site of the show's former leading man carrying a gun and a badge can rejoice. NBC has placed a 13 episode, straight-to-series order for "Aquarius," a 1960s set show focusing on an LAPD sergeant's hunt for Charles Manson, according to Variety.
"Event series are a big priority for us, and the combination of a show that charts the lead-up to the Manson murders, along with a television star of the magnitude of David Duchovny, is the very definition of an event," NBC Entertainment prexy Jennifer Salke told Variety.
The show will track Duchovny's character and his younger partner as they first start the hunt for a man luring women to his cult. John McNamara ("In Plain Sight," "Profit") is writing the series with Duchovny, Marty Adelstein ("Prison Break"), and Melanie Green executive producing. The pickup marks a reunion for Duchovny and NBC Entertainment chief Bob Greenblatt who have collaborated on Duchovny's two biggest hits, "The X-Files" and "Californication."
"I'm thrilled to be working with Bob Greenblatt again and coming back to broadcast television," Duchovny told Variety. "I think 'Aquarius' has a chance to be a special show and I can't wait to get going."
"Californication" is set to end its run this year, and with well-reviewed crime stories like "True Detective" and "Hannibal" dominating the airwaves (or at least cultural criticism), this seems like a good move for Duchovny. At the very least, X-Philes will be drooling at the mouth for the first image of Fox Mulder in a fedora.
