Lymphoma - Hodgkin
*Links on this page will take you to content on the cancer.net website. Links will open in a new window.
Hodgkin lymphoma, also called Hodgkin's disease, is one category of lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. Lymphoma begins when cells in the lymphatic system change and grow uncontrollably, which may form a tumor, involve many parts of the lymphatic system, or spread to other parts of the body.
About the lymphatic system
The lymphatic system is made up of thin tubes that branch out to all parts of the body. Its job is to fight infection and disease. The lymphatic system carries lymph, a colorless fluid containing lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). Lymphocytes are part of our immune system and help fight germs in the body. B-lymphocytes (also called B cells) make antibodies to fight bacteria, and T-lymphocytes (also called T cells) kill viruses and foreign cells and trigger the B cells to make antibodies.
Groups of bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes are located throughout the body at different areas in the lymphatic system. Lymph nodes are found in clusters in the abdomen, groin, pelvis, underarms, and neck. Other parts of the lymphatic system include the spleen, which makes lymphocytes and filters the blood; the thymus, an organ under the breastbone; and the tonsils, which are located in the throat.
Hodgkin lymphoma most commonly affects lymph nodes in the neck or the area between the lungs and behind the breastbone. It can also begin in groups of lymph nodes under an arm, in the groin, or in the abdomen or pelvis.
If Hodgkin lymphoma spreads, it may spread to the spleen, liver, bone marrow, or bone. Spread to other parts of the body can also occur, but it is unusual.
This section covers Hodgkin lymphoma in adults. Learn more about childhood Hodgkin lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma in adults.
Types of Hodgkin lymphoma
There are different types of Hodgkin lymphoma. It is important to know the type, as this may affect the choice of treatment. Doctors determine the type of Hodgkin lymphoma based on how the cells in a tissue sample look under a microscope and whether the cells contain certain abnormal proteins.
The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) recognizes these major categories of Hodgkin lymphoma:
Classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) is diagnosed when characteristic abnormal lymphocytes, known as Reed-Sternberg cells, are found. CHL can be divided into four different subtypes:
- Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma: Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma is the most common form of CHL, affecting up to 80% of people diagnosed with CHL. It is most common in young adults, especially women. In addition to Reed-Sternberg cells, there are bands of connective tissue in the lymph node. This type of lymphoma often involves the lymph nodes in the mediastinum (chest).
- Lymphocyte-rich classical Hodgkin lymphoma: About 6% of people with CHL have this subtype. It is more common in men and usually involves areas other than the mediastinum. The tissue contains many normal lymphocytes, in addition to Reed-Sternberg cells.
- Mixed cellularity Hodgkin lymphoma: This subtype of lymphoma occurs in older adults and, commonly, in the abdomen. It carries many different cell types, including large numbers of Reed-Sternberg cells.
- Lymphocyte-depleted Hodgkin lymphoma: Lymphocyte-depleted Hodgkin lymphoma is the least common subtype of CHL, and about 1% of people with CHL have this form. It is most common in older adults, people with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, the virus that causes autoimmune deficiency syndrome or AIDS), and people in non-industrialized countries. The lymph node contains almost all Reed-Sternberg cells.
Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma. About 5% of people with Hodgkin lymphoma have nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, which is often found in the lymph nodes in the neck or groin. It is most common in younger patients. People with this type of Hodgkin lymphoma not only have Reed-Sternberg cells, but a marker called "CD20" on the surface of the lymphoma cells as well. CD20 is a protein that is usually found in people diagnosed with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma is often treated differently than CHL. Some people with nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma do not need treatment right away, while others may benefit from a treatment plan that includes radiation therapy or a limited amount of chemotherapy combined with radiation therapy. Patients with this type of lymphoma tend to have a very good prognosis (chance of recovery). However, a small number of patients with nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma may develop a more aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma called diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Saturday morning at 10 a.m., a weather balloon was launched from the Manzanola football field by the Edge of Space Scientists, a group of ham radio operators whose object is to promote science and education through high altitude balloons and amateur radio. They had the full help and cooperation of the Manzanola public schools and the rapt attention of the science students. The connection to Manzanola Schools is through Aubre Krengel, who is an English teacher there. Her father is Chris Krengel of Engelwood, who is a ham radio operator and a member of EOSS.
Manzanola science students in the classes of Alan Sheldon, sixth grade science teacher, and Terry Nickerson, junior high and high school science teacher, prepared payloads to go along on a weather balloon launched to the edge of space. The younger students prepared the experiment, while the high school physics students prepared the packaging so that the experiments would not freeze up at the edge of space.
The question was, "Will osmosis be speeded up by the lack of air pressure at higher altitudes?" The experiment consisted of four balloons filled with distilled water, suspended in a small tank of distilled water. One would have the addition of salt, another of sugar, another of protein, and the fourth of nothing, just water. The balloons were weighed just before the launch and hopefully would be weighed when the experiment landed intact. The experiment was replicated by a second tank identical to the first which was kept at the Manzanola school.
The high school students used squeezable hand warmers and insulation to protect the experiment.
The balloon was equipped with three global positioning system tracking devices and radios. The tracking was monitored in the Manzanola gym by Krengel and helpers, who manned the computers which received signals from the balloon. In addition, some of the EOSS people followed the balloon in vehicles, helped by their radios as well as eyesight (the balloon gets pretty small, then invisible to the naked eye). Latest word is that the balloon went down near Bristol, Colo., an unincorporated town about 15 miles from the Kansas border on Colorado State Highway 196.
The Manzanola School is now on spring break, so this story is to be continued when everybody gets back.

Our fellow blogger Taslima Nasreen has been running a series of posts asking other bloggers their answer to the question "Why I Am a Feminist." I contributed, and you can now read my post: "Why I Am a Feminist — Richard Carrier."
Others who have contributed answers before now include Bina Shah (the journalist and novelist), Aron Ra (fellow FtB blogger and renowned vlogger and podcaster), Rita Banerji (author and activist photographer), and Skeptifem (anti-sexwork activist), with more contributions from Marcella and Eva and Physioprof.
But in timely fashion, Cristina Rad just recently posted a superb vlog on the issue of why and in what ways sexism still exists even in the supposedly most enlightened countries and societies, which supplements my point quite well, that it isn't just extreme sexism that's a problem, and that reverse sexism makes no difference to this fact (see Gender Roles, Trolls, & Sexual Harassment Policies). Once again proving Rad is probably the greatest vlogger on the internet. Her ability to edit video and compose arguments, articulate points, and make an entertaining and unassailable case is truly a thing of awe. (The most relevant part to the present point begins at minute 5:33.)
Feminism is an extension of humanism, which itself is a natural product of any well-thought-out naturalism. Which is really the only intellectually credible worldview for an atheist. And I made this point a while ago as a guest on Crommunist's blog, where he ran a similar series "Because I Am an Atheist," asking other people not why they are an atheist (like PZ's series Why I Am an Atheist), but how being an atheist has changed the way they think or act or see the world. To check out my reply see Because I Am an Atheist — Richard Carrier. I don't mention feminism there specifically, but you can see from it how my feminism would follow from the same process, and what atheism has to do with that.
Also related to this is my perspective on philosophy and what it should be and how we should all aim at doing philosophy, and doing it well, which was a subject of an interview with me by Daniel Fincke, which you might also benefit from reading. In it I discuss the role of philosophy in making us better, distinguishing rational philosophy from irrational philosophy, and the basis of sound moral values, all of which leads into feminism (though again I don't specifically connect those dots there, you can). See The Full Richard Carrier Interview.
Because I think philosophy done well always leads to feminism. So if philosophy hasn't done that for you, you're doing it wrong.

Detroit in the 1950s was a bustling city to which Southern blacks were drown by the lure of jobs in the auto industry. They congregated on the Eastside, a rough and tumble neighborhood centered around Hastings Street, which pulsed to the beat of blues from such Mississippi Delta immigrants as John Lee Hooker. Out of the grittiness of the urban blues scene evolved the polished pop-soul sound of Motown. Appealing to both black and white listeners, Motown was "the Sound of Young America," as their motto had it.
The key to Motown's success was the creative team of singers, songwriters, producers, arrangers and musicians assembled by label founder Berry Gordy at a two-story headquarters that he dubbed "Hitsville U.S.A." From there, the Motown Records Corporation perfected what came to be known as the "Motown Sound" - a carefully refined blend of pop's upbeat catchiness, the soulfulness of rhythm & blues, and the repetitive intensity of gospel music.
In its 1960s heyday, Motown know no peers. Its stable of artists included the Temptations, the Supremes, the Four Tops, the Miracles, Martha and the Vandellas, Mary Wells, the Marvelettes, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and the Jackson 5. The solo careers of Diana Ross, Michael Jackson and Smokey Robinson originated at Motown. Gordy employed the principles of competition and camaraderie to get results. He hired the best talent - such as the songwriting trio of Holland-Dozier-Holland, who produced 28 Top 20 hits in a three-year stretch - and dared them to top themselves.
Under Gordy's tutelage, Motown's musicians took the concept of formula pop to a new level of sophistication and, thanks to the music's gospel-blues roots, visceral intensity. Meanwhile, its well-manicured stars promoted an image of upward mobility and clean, wholesome fun. Young America's collective buying power pushed 120 singles by Motown artist into the Top 20 during the 1960s. In the end, Motown offered a well-tuned sound that roared and purred like a Ford Thunderbird rolling off a Detroit assembly line.

if they werent dangerous, yes, i'd have to do it for 500k. i'd also be crying and whimpering for the duration.
if you were to give me the cash first, then i would have an opportunity to get the fuck away without ever walking through this stuff.
otherwise FUCK NO this is being much closer to fucking spiders than i feel comfortable with.
Absolutely not.
Um...there's about a 50% possibility that I'll do it. Depends on my guts on that day. But I'll be screaming my head off while walking through AND for the 30 minutes.
i wonder if there are actually crazy rich people out there offering absurd sums of money for people to do horrible things like this
I was gonna say that but couldn't remember the name.
ooh... do I get to put like... Afroglide on my body or something? keep the spiders off...
I would pay rayne to do that, though for 6 hours rather than 30 minutes.
i just said i wouldnt do it for 500 grand. unless you have a couple of hundreds of millions lying around somewhere i wouldnt even think about it.
Yeah but what if you were REALLY drunk?
Torchure? Is that torture by burning?
Wait...I get to walk naked through a bunch of sPiders AND be paid half a mil? What's the catch? =_=
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.

Recorded in Cali, Colombia, Tradition In Transition is the brand new album from Quantic and his Combo Bárbaro, the fantastic music ensemble created and directed by UK born producer, Quantic. Will 'Quantic' Holland mines the lesser-tapped musical sources from the Caribbean, Latin America and Africa, fusing those rediscovered psychedelic, experimental and rhythmically rich sounds of the past with deep funk, soul elements and folkloric vocal styles.
The stellar array of musicians at the core of the Combo Bárbaro are: pianist Alfredo Linares, who wowed the sell-out crowds with his virtuoso performances on The Quantic Soul Orchestra's 2008 tour; Freddy Colorado, the energetic, charismatic cornerstone of the Cali music circuit, on congas; Fernando Silva on baby bass; William Holland himself on electric guitar; and London-based drummer and long time Quantic collaborator Malcolm Catto, also well known for his own band The Heliocentrics, in fine form. Tradition In Transition also benefits incalculably from the talents of veteran Brazilian writer, arranger and musical innovator Arthur Verocai, Legendary Panamanian soul singer Kabir, Indian-born singer Falu and Pacific folklore singer and award-winning songwriter Nidia Góngora, who contributes on the beautiful "Un Canto A Mi Tierra." The result is a multi-cultural patchwork – a record bathed but not exclusively rooted in Colombian musical culture, embracing the musical range of all the American continent – honoring and using its contributors' individual backgrounds, while conjuring up a unique brand of contemporary music that is a joy to celebrate, and a live experience that defies comparison.

ZF-5019: Invalid UTF8 in comments: Could cause failure in automated checks.
Several comments in Zend/Amf/Parse/Amf3/Deserializer.php mean that the file contains invalid UTF8 and thus fail an automated check in my subversion repository when I import them.
The patch I will attach fixes the issue but not knowing what the text should say means I'm not sure if I fixed it correctly...
Patch which gets rid of the invalid UTF8 and replaces it with a more verbose version of the data. I don't really know what it means so this may be a stupid fix :)
Consider this patch as yours (/me needs to get round to filling out the contributor form...)
Hi, I think the character is cross mark in ISO-8859-1 encode.
Solved in SVN r12875
This fix will be released in ver. 1.7.2

Me and my family, when we arrived we were greeted by a mass of stinking waste of all kinds including a broken toilet accessories and more garbage containers filled (the containers were emptied two days after the end of stay other waste were still present), once you enter the door outer climbing stairs covered with carpet not own toilet, a strong musty smell assaulted us.
We open the door of the apartment and the smell of mold ..... the stairs was nothing compared to the one inside the apartment from the kitchen greasy beyond belief (in fact we have not touched a piece of cutlery or a dish), plus: hole in the wall of the hallway, hang towels in the bathroom with all jaws broken, loss of water from the basin wall (resolved after a few days), toilet seat broken (replaced more than half of the stay), the toilet drain hole in the wall likely to mice, two chairs on three dirty but one of them was really dirty (replace more than half of the stay), lack of set of towels for the third person (which were delivered in mid-stay), lack of bedside side bed and chandelier (pictured inset were clearly visible). But when we reached the top we had confirmation on the second day of the presence of rats. On the morning before going out in the evening before going to bed piazzavamo bait in the apartment on time on our return and / or awakening they were gone.
For the agency on the spot it was impossible the presence of mice but considered dirt and waste outside ..... in fact they came to install an ultrasound device over the traps chemicals already present in the bathroom and kitchen.
The problem we do not know if it was solved, because we no longer put bait. All this has also caused economic damage as well as moral, because I and my family had chosen the solution of the apartment for dinner at home, but in these conditions of hygiene do not succeed we felt, so every night we had dinner a fee.
Of some of these drawbacks possess photos.
Io e la mia famiglia, al nostro arrivo siamo stati accolti da un ammasso di rifiuti maleodoranti di ogni genere compreso un wc rotto più accessori e contenitori dell'immondizia pieni (i contenitori sono stati vuotati a due giorni dal termine del soggiorno gli altri rifiuti erano ancora presenti), una volta entrati dalla porta esterna nel salire le scale ricoperte da una moquette non proprio igienica, un forte odore di muffa ci ha assalito.
Apriamo la porta dell'appartamento e ..... l'odore di muffa delle scale era niente a confronto di quello all'interno dell'appartamento proveniente dalla cucina unta all'inverosimile (infatti non abbiamo toccato una posata o una stoviglia), in più: buco nel muro del corridoio, appendi asciugamani nel bagno con tutti i ganci rotti, perdita d'acqua dalla parete della vasca (risolto dopo qualche giorno), tavoletta del wc rotta (sostituita oltre la metà del soggiorno), scarico del wc nel muro probabile tana per topi, due sedie su tre sporche ma una delle due era veramente sudicia (sostituite oltre la metà del soggiorno), mancanza del set di asciugamani per la terza persona (consegnatoci a metà del soggiorno), mancanza del comodino a fianco del letto e dei lampadari (nella foto dell'inserzione erano ben evidenti). Ma il top l'abbiamo raggiunto quando abbiamo avuto la conferma già al secondo giorno della presenza di topi. La mattina prima di uscire e la sera prima di coricarci piazzavamo delle esche nell'appartamento che puntualmente al nostro rientro e/o risveglio erano sparite.
Per l'agenzia in loco era impossibile la presenza di topi ma considerata la sporcizia e i rifiuti all'esterno ..... infatti sono venuti ad installare un apparecchio ad ultrasuoni oltre alle trappole chimiche già presenti in bagno e in cucina.
Il problema non sappiamo se è stato risolto, perché non abbiamo più messo esche. Tutto questo ci ha arrecato anche un danno economico oltre che morale, perché io e la mia famiglia avevamo scelto la soluzione dell'appartamento anche per cenare in casa, ma a queste condizioni di igiene non ce la siamo sentita e pertanto tutte le sere abbiamo cenato a pagamento.
Di alcuni di questi inconvenienti posseggo le foto.
A very good location, close to the subway station, and a very good value for money! The apartment is really small but perfect for a short journey. The owners are kind and helpful. I would definitely advise this apartment.
Great studio! Just as it was described and looked exactly like the pictures. Very clean! The full kitchen was shared by two flats, but this wasn't an issue. You also get a microwave and small fridge in the studio. Bathroom was small, but worked fine for my stay with two people. Overall it was a great experience.
The pictures that are on the website are NO WHERE near what the actual apartment looked like! This property is less than filthy! There is a large misrepresentation.
I suggest that someone actually look at this property. The light switches in the hallway didn't work, the shower by no means had new cauking in it, the floor boards in the shower area are rotting and oh, 1/2 roll of toilet paper for 8 days for two people!!
There is a sink yes, nothing to wash with or dry the dishes with, we had to purchase. The dishes were mismatched from somebody's basement junk and dirty, they had to be washed before even using a glass!
This is not even close to what we expected. The pillows were flat and who knows how clean. The two bath towels which were left were well used and the hangers in the closet were so dusty, they couldn't be used....we had nothing to wipe them with unless we wanted to used one of the two towels were were supplied with as a hand towel and a towel for the floor ....
Would never trust the pictures again as a hostel would have been a better option but as the traveller, you are at the mercy of who you trusted and who took your money.
Amazing apartment with really good location! And good service! I would love to stay here again!
I won't recomend this place to any of you...
Troubles have started right from the beginnig. We were travelling in group of 3 adults. After entering the flat, it turned out that there had been foreseen one big bed (we had known about it) and a couch. Of course quality of this couch was far from mint or even good. It was old and even sitting on it wasn't possible because ages of exploatation turned materace into bear trap. Sleeping on it was a nightmare. Besides this, there were just 2 quilts (for 3 people), when on the outside there was 3 degrees Celsius - and the windows as draughty as we were sleeping on the street. It was cold and loudly as hell (under the window there was a bus stop, where - obviously - were stopping buses all the time + passengers talks, while they were waiting for their transport; in the middle of the night - it's rather not nice). For 12 days of our residence we have been given just one roll of a toilet paper... Of course, it's not hard to buy it on ourselves, but for the person who hire an appartament it would be relatively a small cost comparing to the cost of his hiring...
The shower - I have never seen such a mess. A drain has probably never been cleaned, so while having a shower you have been staying in a swamp made by hair (and god knows what else) till your ankles... And what's more, to run the shower, you had to press a button ON THE OUTSIDE of the bathroom! It took us a while to get it...
The whole adventure has finished as unfortunatelly as it has started... For that time (12 days) we have rented 2 flats on the same street from this person (IRENE); there was another adult with us. After 5 from 12 days we were suddenly forced to return to Poland (because of health problems). We wrote a message to owner 2 days before with a question how would it be then from the financial side in this situation. We have been counting at least on a small reduction for these 6 days, while we have been no longer there. Unfortunatelly, our message have remained without any answer - we have paid for 2 flats for whole the time of our residence there (12 days) and we haven't been paid even a cent of return.
Nikomu nie poleciłabym tego zakwaterowania.
Kłopoty zaczęły się już od samego początku. Podróżowaliśmy we 3 dorosłe osoby. Po wejściu do mieszkania okazało się, że do spania przewidziane jest jedno duże łóżko (o tym wiedzieliśmy) oraz sofa, która ABSOLUTNIE do spania się nie nadaje. Jest stara i nawet siedzieć na niej ciężko, bo deski wchodzą w … Spanie na tym to był koszmar. Oprócz tego były tylko 2 kołdry (dla 3 osób), a na dworzu 3 stopnie celsjusza, okna tak nieszczelne, że spaliśmy jak na ulicy. Było zimno i potwornie głośno (pod oknem przystanek autobusowy, gdzie - wiadomo - co moment podjeżdża autobus + rozmowy pasażerów oczekujących na transport. W nocy… - wątpliwa przyjemność. Na 12 dni pobytu 3 osób w łazience zastaliśmy jedną rolkę papieru toaletowego… oczywiście można sobie kupić, ale to dla wynajmującego byłby stosunkowo niewielki koszt przy cenie wynajmu… Prysznic… większego syfu nie widziałam jak żyję. Odpływ chyba nigdy nie czyszczony, więc podczas kąpieli stało się w bagnie z włosów (i strach pomyśleć czego jeszcze) po kostki…. Żeby w ogóle uruchomić prysznic trzeba było nacisnąć przycisk NA ZEWNĄTRZ łazienki ! Sporo czasu zajęło nam zanim do tego doszliśmy.
Cała przygoda skończyła się równie niefortunnie jak się zaczęła…
Na ten czas od tego samego wynajmującego (IRENE) wynajęliśmy 2 mieszkania na tej samej ulicy. Oprócz naszej trójki była jeszcze jedna dorosła osoba. Po 5 z 12 dni musieliśmy z powodów zdrowotnych nagle wrócić do Polski. Napisaliśmy wiadomość do właścicielki 2 dni wcześniej z zapytaniem jak będzie wyglądało w tej sytuacji finansowe rozliczenie. Liczyliśmy choć na niewielką zniżkę za 6 dni, w których już nie mieszkaliśmy. Niestety nasza wiadomość pozostała bez odpowiedzi, zapłaciliśmy za oba mieszkania za cały pobyt (to była przedpłata) i nie dostaliśmy ani centa zwrotu za ten czas.
Great location, but still quite far from all the major attractions. The apartment is supertiny and was even too small for two small girls. We had troubles with wi-fi, and maitenance team reacted right away, which is good. We had troubles with water draining, but noone helped us.
The studio is exactly as described on Wimdu. The bathroom is very tight and the taps are sometimes difficult to close. The studio is clean and quiet. The bad smell was described by other guests, we can´t determine.
We had a great time in London, thanks especially to this accomodation!
We were 4 people, but the apartment is a good accomodation also for 4, using the double bed sofa.
The apartment is very well located, it takes maximum 10 minutes on foot to reach the Underground Swiss Cottage and the main Street Finchley to take the bus.
The facilities in the apartment are good, even if it would have been great to have more toilet paper and things to wash dishes.
The bad note is that we had to pay 20 £ for late check-in, even if our delay was due to problems with our flight.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Woman reports robbery in Food Lion parking lot in Welcome
Published: Monday, March 25, 2013 at 2:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 25, 2013 at 2:58 p.m.
A woman was robbed of her pocketbook in the parking lot of Food Lion on Old U.S. Highway 52 in Welcome late Sunday night.
Davidson County sheriff's deputies responded to the Food Lion at 6455 Old U.S. Highway 52 after a robbery was reported at 10:20 p.m.
A sheriff's office spokesman said the unknown suspect fled in a vehicle in an unknown direction of travel. The suspect stole a woman's pocketbook valued at $300 in the parking lot of the grocery store, according to an incident report.
No weapons were involved, and the 42-year-old woman suffered only minor injuries.
No arrests had been made as of Monday afternoon.

Idling vehicles consume fuel, pollute the environment, and are loud and annoying—three reasons no-idling requirements are common from Bismarck to Boston.
Because an idling engine is operating below its optimum temperature, according to City of Durham, N.C., Fleet Management Director Joe Clark, residue deposits can form that lower fuel economy by 5% and shorten engine life. In addition:
As fuel prices rise, more fleet departments are requiring internal customers to turn off their vehicles after a certain amount of time. Some use remote engine diagnostics to monitor compliance with anti-idling policies, but there are at least five other ways to get the message across.
Collaborate. In addition to working with North Carolina's departments of Transportation and Energy to promote smarter driving practices, idle reduction, and the use of fuel-efficient technologies, Durham is a member of the Triangle Clean Cities Coalition. Comprised of fleet managers, companies, and nonprofit organizations, the 15-year-old coalition belongs to the National Partnership to Reduce Diesel Pollution.
Win an award. Publicizing your department's success via programs like the Association of Equipment Management Professionals' Fleet Masters Awards and Enterprise Fleet Management's Stevie Award gets the word out to a national audience of your peers. It also raises awareness at home of your operation's expertise.

Graphic Products' 6-pound Lobo printer uses preloaded cartridges and can be plugged into a vehicle to make custom labels onsite.
Labels, stickers, and fliers. Durham is designing a No Idling window sticker as a reminder to drivers and operators, technicians, and residents. Stickers made via thermal transfer last for years despite exposure to the elements and repeated washings.

As the name implies, a thermal printer melts resin onto a material such as vinyl. A $700 to $3,000 labeling system includes print head, transport and positioning system for the ribbon and label material, cutter mechanism, memory and processor to store and run software, and user interface for designing and printing labels, signs, and tags.
Cost can be shared by other departments, including transportation, construction, and facility management.
"Our No-Idling and Lights Off/Power Down policies are communicated during new-employee orientation with fliers," says Bob Mullen of Dunwoody, Ga. "We also ask contractors, through project agreements and via fliers, to abide by these policies." Adopted in 2009, the city prohibits idling for more than 30 seconds unless running the engine is essential to the work being performed or the vehicle's in routine traffic.
Disseminate, promote, and explain online. Some cities disseminate policy changes via internal Intranet and externally by e-mails and blogs. Electronic communication is fast and, thanks to the exponential growth in smart phone ownership, reaches a large audience.
Get manager buy-in. Introduce the policy at a retreat before presenting it as a fait accompli to both full-time and temporary employees. Retreats reach insiders personally and allow them to comment on and shape new policies.
Tallahassee, Fla., Coordinator of Environmental Regulation Compliance Tony Murray has a four-step communication program:
While no-idling policies have their fans, there continues to be a need to generate awareness to support these policies as new employees are hired and trained. The most conscientious managers reach out to stakeholders in a variety of innovative ways through the media, and through both electronic and visual communications.

|First pair of tap shoes for my son-(Age 16). He states they are very comfortable. They are also true to size. So far they have held up to play rehearsal.

|First, using the sizing chart I received the correct size the first time through. The shoes are NOT made in China which, for me, is a huge plus. The leather is good quality and the shoes appear to be well made. The "taps" are great sounding. As I have used these shoes only a few times so far I can not comment on how they will wear - but I also own a pair of Bloch men's dance shoes and they have been used "hard" for the last three years (sometimes as much as 27 hours a week on the dance floor) and have held up very well. I look forward to using these tap shoes as well.

Global Research Forum on Sustainable Production and Consumption (GRF-SPC)
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Global Research Forum on Sustainable Production and Consumption (GRF-SPC)
- Submission Document: Not available
General Contenta) What are the expectations for the outcome of Rio+20, and what are the concrete proposals in this regard, including views on a possible structure of the Outcome document? The World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002 identified the three ?overarching objectives of sustainable development,? each of which needs to be addressed by the Rio+20 Outcome document. While poverty and protecting natural resources are prominent concerns in the current discussion, it is less clear how the Outcomes will address sustainable consumption and production. In fact, it is not so clear how this objective is seen in relation to green economy despite the fact that it is a requirement for achieving a green economy. The role of SCP in green economy and sustainable development governance needs to be made much clearer, as well as ways to achieve it.
b) What are the comments, if any, on existing proposals: e.g., a green economy roadmap, framework for action, sustainable development goals, a revitalized global partnership for sustainable development, or others? The Roadmap calls for milestones, indicators and monitoring for a transition to green economy, whereby global and national goals and values (e.g., Sustainable Development Goals, Millennium Consumption Goals, and Earth Charter) expand the vision and direction of this transition. What is also needed is a new infrastructure of programs that actively identify and support the many other initiatives and organizations already working to change current production and consumption patterns and move towards a green economy.
Another proposal is precisely for developing a global program for research on SCP/green economy issues, with this particularly designed to support research initiatives and networking within and among the regions.
c) What are the views on implementation and on how to close the implementation gap, which relevant actors are envisaged as being involved (Governments, specific Major Groups, UN system, IFIs, etc.); One of the essential needs of national and regional SCP/green economy initiatives is meaningful and timely research and knowledge on the underlying consumption and production patterns driving worsening global social and environmental trends. Knowledge about these drivers and the assessment of policy instruments, practices and strategies is needed at the global, national and local levels.
This SCP research is critical in particular to those organizations and initiatives targeting those same drivers through specific regional, national and local initiatives. SCP research and knowledge needs to be conducted and made available to policymakers, educators, community leaders, journalists and sustainabilitiy advocates. The UN is in an excellent position to promote and coordinate research efforts and the flow of knowledge to, from and among regions and countries. An international research program on sustainable production and consumption is thus an essential element of any institutional structure on sustainable development as well as a green economy.
d) What specific cooperation mechanisms, partnership arrangements or other implementation tools are envisaged and what is the relevant time frame for the proposed decisions to be reached and actions to be implemented? The Global Research Forum on Sustainable Production and Consumption was intially launched in response to UNDESA?s call for 10YF programs. This Research Forum, now registered as a UN Partnership, has been gaining research partners over the past two years and is organizing a three-day conference prior to the UN Conference on Sustainable Development.
The Rio+20 Outcomes should at least acknowledge if not give its full support to the Global Research Forum on SPC in its efforts to help promote research on the production and consumption patterns essential to building the green economy. It should be considered a part of the institutional structures promoting sustainable development and green economy.
In contrast to the scenario of an isolated research staff working on a small set of problems, the SCP research program proposed here would be based on a global partnership model involving cooperating organizations and networks in and across regions and countries. Rather than a top-down hierarchy, the research partners would participate and help design regional and country-level research on SCP questions identified by those engaged in SCP/green economy initiatives, including federal government and local authorities, national and local business networks, as well as national civil society organizations and networks and local community-based organizations. SCP researchers could be connected through networks at the country, regional and global levels, with these communications and activities monitored and reported on by an international body supporting these regional and national research efforts.
This proposal is now being implemented, with the 3-day GRF conference being held in Rio just prior to the final UNCSD event in June. The GRF will produce a statement which it will share at a side event at the UNCSD meeting, which will hopefully mark one of many tangible examples of Rio+20 contributions to the transition to green economy and a sustainable world.
Specific Elementsa) Objective of the Conference: To secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development, assessing the progress to date and remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development and addressing new and emerging challenges. Contributions could include possible sectoral priorities (e.g., (e.g., energy, food security and sustainable agriculture, technology transfer, water, oceans, sustainable urbanization, sustainable consumption and production, natural disaster preparedness and climate change adaptation, biodiversity, etc.) and sectoral initiatives that contribute to integrate the three pillars of sustainable development could be launched and endorsed at Rio+20. Whatever overall institutional structure for sustainable development is agreed upon, it should incorporate a global research program on sustainable production and consumption, pulling together and making available current knowledge on the production/consumption patterns driving the world?s major crises. The Global Research Forum on SPC proposes this research program as part of the 10 Year Framework of Programs, or it could be integrated into another part of the institutional framework on sustainable development.
This SCP research program would focus on several levels and areas, including compilation of current projected trends over the next 10 years on the global crises as well as analyzing the production/consumption patterns driving those crises. This compilation of trend and driver projections could be done at the global as well as regional and national levels. In addition, the SCP research program would survey research and knowledge being generated on production/consumption patterns within each major economic sector (e.g., food/agriculture, housing, transportation, energy), ensuring this information is available to those organizations and initiatives where this knowledge is essential. The research program could also inventory assessments of policy instruments, education programs, and various practices addressing key production/consumption problems. It could explore issues such as well-being and its indicators, cultures of consumption, advertising and education, technological developments including social networking; infrastructures as enablers or barriers; transition management and socio-technical transitions; social movements; jobs and employment as well as leisure time; economic growth, steady state, and degrowth; green supply chains; designing product service systems; extended producer responsibility; verification; fair Trade, and many others. The SCP research program would especially focus on identifying and promoting greater knowledge on the critical intervention points in different production/consumption systems where change is desperately needed.
A global institutional structure is necessary as well as some basic funding to facilitate the activities of this Global Research Forum; a small secretariat could ensure continuous dialogue among the individual and institutional members; could provide and maintain a database, and most importantly could ensure continuity during the next 10 year period. The GRF would collaborate closely with UN institutions engaged in research, especially UNEP and UNDESA, as well as global research insitutions like ICSU.
At this moment the GRF exists as a purely voluntary organizations without funding, working with volunteers from academia and civil society to organize a workshop, a membership list, a website, and fundraising; with a clear expectation that Rio+20 will take a clear decision on how this vibrant network of researchers could be institutionalized in a way that benefits global and local SCP efforts in the framework of the green economy.
b) Green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication: views regarding how green economy can be a means to achieve sustainable development in its three dimensions, and poverty eradication; what is its potential added value; experience to date, including what has worked and how to build upon success, what are the challenges and opportunities and how to address the challenges and seize opportunities, and possible elements of an agreement in outcome document on a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication Making the transition to a green economy requires progress towards the overarching objective of sustainable consumption and production. Assessing progress as well as achieving it requires clear definition, criteria, and measures to assess progress as well as make effective policy.
Given that the worsening trends of global warming, food insecurity, water scarcity, the widening gap between rich and poor, and the financial crisis are ultimately driven by production and consumption practices and policies, research on these underlying drivers is essential to understanding and changing these influences. This research on production and consumption is thus essential to the transition to a green economy.
c) Institutional framework for sustainable development: Priorities and proposals for strengthening individual pillars of sustainable development, as well as those for strengthening integration of the three pillars, at multiple levels; local, national, regional and international. N/A
d) Any proposals for refinement of the two themes. Recall that Resolution 64/236 describes the focus of the Conference: "The focus of the Conference will include the following themes to be discussed and refined during the preparatory process: a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication and the institutional framework for sustainable development".

The Princeton women's volleyball team knows that the first half of the Ivy League season didn't go as well as anticipated, and the Tigers are looking forward to a stronger finish when the second half of the season begins Friday at the Palestra.
Princeton has dropped four straight matches, including a pair of 3-2 decisions and a 3-1 loss at Ivy frontrunner Yale, but it will get a chance to kick start the second half of its season against one of the two teams it defeated earlier this season. The Tigers rallied past Penn in the Ivy opener for a 3-2 thriller in Dillon Gym.
Sophomore Kendall Peterkin earned Ivy League Player of the Week honors after the match, when she recorded 21 kills and eight digs in a 21-25-25-17, 25-23, 15-25, 15-11 win over the Quakers. Freshman Lauren Miller was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week after recording 59 assists and helping Princeton hit .313 in the win.
Princeton has won three straight over Penn at the Palestra, but this series has been known for its marathon thrillers recently. Each of the last three matches, as well as four of the last five, have gone the distance; last season at the Palestra, Princeton won the final two sets 25-23 and 15-13 to claim the 3-2 win.

- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1-1/2 cups dried cranberries
- 1 cup chopped peeled tart apple
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, milk and vanilla. Combine the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and nutmeg; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the oats, cranberries, apple and walnuts.

For those who diligently lace up their running shoes and brave the elements to jog at least an hour a week, there is a very real reward -- an average of six more years of life, Danish researchers found.
· This study was published as an abstract and presented at a conference. These data and conclusions should be considered to be preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
· This substudy of the Copenhagen City Heart Study with more than 35 years follow-up found that jogging was associated with an increase of 6.2 years in lifespan for men and 5.6 years for women compared with non-joggers.
· The amount of jogging required to achieve this improved survival was modest -- between 1 and 2.5 hours per week divided into two or three sessions at a self-described slow to average pace.
