Fast Forward and EMD Serono announced the third group of recipients to receive funding through their collaboration, which is designed to accelerate innovation and commercial development of multiple sclerosis (MS) therapies. The awards total approximately $1.4 million.
Fast Forward and EMD Serono distributed a call for proposals to fund projects directed toward the development of therapies to prevent, treat, or reverse nervous system damage in MS. These priority research areas were determined by a joint steering committee comprised of Fast Forward staff and representatives from EMD Serono and Merck KGaA.
The organizations that will receive funding under the Accelerating Commercial Development Program include ACADIA Pharmaceuticals/University of California, Los Angeles, receiving $545,380 over 12 months to perform research to identify estrogen receptor beta agonist as a potential treatment of MS and Vicore Pharma/Uppsala University and Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, receiving $531,300 over 18 months to perform research to identify angiotensin AT2-receptor agonists as a potential treatment of MS.
Additionally, Axxam will receive $402,000 over 12 months to identify antagonists of the chloride intracellular channel 1 expressed by activated microglia, which could form the basis for the development of potential new treatments for neurodegeneration in MS. Axxam also received funding last year. Other companies receiving funding in 2011 were the Howard Florey Institute and The Gladstone Institutes/UCSF.
Fast Forward and EMD Serono entered into an initial two-year, worldwide agreement in March 2009, and recently extended the collaboration. As part of the up to $19 million collaborative agreement with Fast Forward, EMD Serono provides the majority of funding for the research awards, with Fast Forward contributing 10 % of the total financing of the awards disseminated from each of the two funds.

What to Know About Radiation Therapy for Multiple Myeloma
Radiation therapy is one way to treat multiple myeloma. This treatment is also called radiotherapy.
It uses X-rays or other particles to control the growth of cancer cells. Radiation is a local treatment. That means it affects the cancer cells only in the area treated.
Radiation does not cure generalized multiple myeloma. Your doctor may suggest it to treat symptoms, such as bone pain. It's also used to treat a single plasma cell tumor known as a solitary plasmacytoma. You may have radiation at any time in your treatment process. And you may have it along with other types of treatment. If you are going to have a stem cell transplant, you may have total body radiation first in order to prepare your bone marrow to receive the transplant. In that case, you will need to have the radiation done while you are in the hospital.
For this treatment, you see a radiation oncologist. This doctor specializes in the use of radiation to kill cancer cells. This doctor decides how often you need radiation and at what dose. The radiation oncologist and his or her staff create a treatment plan.
Radiation for multiple myeloma comes from a machine that is directed to the outside of your body. The person who gives you the radiation is a radiation therapist. The experience is a lot like getting an X-ray, only it takes longer.
Potential side effects of radiation therapy
Radiation affects both normal cells and cancer cells. This means it can cause side effects. What they are depends on what part of your body is treated. Common side effects of radiation include fatigue and skin changes. If it is aimed at or near the abdomen, it may also cause nausea or diarrhea.

Experts estimate children spend more than 50 hours per week online (at school and at home). That's more than a full-time job, and there's a lot of danger on the Web, where childrens' personal safety can be on the line.
The State Office of Education is directly involved with the Internet Keep Safe Coalition (iKeepSafe), the creators of Generation Safe.
Generation Safe provides specialized instruction to educate students on the proper use of internet technology. Students will be taught to keep their information private, what they should and should not share and how to stay clear of predators. The program also provides specially-designed tools to help a student navigate the internet safely.
Some of those tools: iKeepCurrent NewsFeed, a database of the most up-to-date research on internet safety; 360 Self-Assessment, a diagnostic tool that checks out the school's e-safety competence; the Incident Response Tool, an administrator guide that is solely incharge of incident management; and a more robust filter to keep children safe from inappropriate content. The tools are finished, training has been provided for adminstrators and the program is ready to be implemented.
Generation Safe will launch tomorrow, Dec. 8, at Oquirrh Hills Middle School and will hold its first discussion with students about cyber safety.
The demonstration runs from 10:10 to 11 a.m., and all are welcome. Oquirrh Hills Middle School, 12949 South 2700 W, Riverton Click here for more info.

I had a conversation a few weeks ago with a friend of mine who grew up in Connecticut. He taught for a few years and told me that Joanne Woodward was home room mother for his class one year.
So of course, I was interested in what he had to say about this celebrity couple. He had nothing but nice things to say about both of them. They were real, they were wonderful parents and they were just plain nice folks.
They were both larger than life.
I shared with him that Joanne Woodward and my parents were born in the same county.
Loved Paul's comments about the hamburger and steak analogy. Sounds like a guy who truly appreciated his wife. They had a lasting marriage so apparently they were doing something right.

I remember that Joanne Woodward did NOT like Paul Newman's answer to why he didn't stray (Why settle for hamburger, when you have steak was its gist). Her objection presumably to being compared to meat gave me a glimpse into their marriage.
If you haven't seen the two of them in "The Long, Hot Summer," boy, have you got a treat in store for you! Talk about sexual chemistry! She's a repressed daughter (librarian? teacher?) of the richest man in the county, saddled with a very popular younger sister (AKA, a tramp). Newman plays a clerk in her father's store, if I remember correctly, who is not of her social class and from a disreputable family. I can't imagine that anyone who likes romances wouldn't love this movie.

My mother heard a wonderful Paul Newman story at a Kenyon College event in his honor...
The man telling the story had been rushing out the door with his wife to a premiere of a Paul Newman-directed stage play. When they were an hour away, he looked at his outfit and realized he'd put on a suit, and everybody else at such a big event would certainly be wearing a tuxedo. His wife told him, "Better a suit than late," so he gave up and they kept driving. Of course he was the only man in the entire audience not wearing a tux, and he felt pretty mortified and underdressed during the whole play.
After the play, everybody was mingling in the lobby talking, when he realizes there's one other man not wearing a tuxedo - the only other suit in the theater. And it's Paul Newman. Paul Newman notices the other suit, walks up to him, and says, "You look like the kind of guy who would like a beer." And the two of them spend an hour after the show chatting, all because the guy put on a suit instead of a tuxedo by mistake.
A guy who never forgot how to be ordinary. What a great man.

Data, data, data, all the answers lay within the data. Today I learned quite a number of things looking over all the data of all my clients. It's game time for many of my clients going into the holiday season, and understanding what current rankings they hold and have achieve in the last week gave me profound awakening about most businesses.
Being a new business owner I find there are not enough hours in the day to simply get the major work done for the core business to help it grow. There can never be enough marketing, enough data analysis, or enough creative ideas. I sometimes wish I could spend whole weeks just analysis data streams with my team because the answers to all marketing campaigns lie there.
Search Engine Optimization has evolved a lot in the last several years, but it's still not mainstream. SEO Experts and Gurus all agree the power that search engines have can literally bankrupt or make a shooting star out of a website. Search engines know this, and every website dominating a particular niche knows this.
One thing a lot of lower ranking "SEO 7 optimum" companies offering $99 SEO realize though is the power of the data they have.
I'm a firm believe in data analysis, at Karma Snack we have a dedicated team of data analysts on staff just to discover new keywords, trends, and shifts in client's industries. Their job it to find the information, quickly process it, and at the end of the day have a working marketing campaign that is geared towards the new mini-strategy. I love them, especially the ones that are up till 4 o'clock in the morning with me instant messaging me back and forth about why this new marketing campaign will or will not work.
What I realized though is that most businesses simply do not have people sitting around analyzing data. I mean the big companies like Humana, American Express, etc. do, and some will say "Well they can afford to". I believe that any expert in their field, whether it is Internet marketing for my company, or selling uniforms for a client, or international commercial loans for another client, needs to sit down one a week or once a month to really look at the data. Can you really afford not do? Who are you best customers, who are worst customers, what initiative this month/week have you done to promote your company? What promotions are working, and what aren't and why? What is all the data telling you?
Lucky for my clients they have my team of expert analysts and me, and lucky for me we have tracking analytics tools installed, heat-maps, custom visitor behavior models, customized in-house SEO tools, and really top of the line business metrics available to us.
But even if you have a simply website with Google Analytics or Awstats, oh yeah I remember those days, looking and finding trends can be easy. Analyze where you where a month ago, 3 months ago, 1 year ago in terms of data, and compare it to the industry. Are you doing better or worst than every one else?
Strange things you find in the data can be either a gold mine waiting to be discovered or can alert you of future potential problems.
In my business I always have clients telling me they want to rank for this or that keyword, with no data to back it up on why. They just want to rank so they can be number one. Usually it's an obscure keyword that I can get rankings for within a week. So I end up doing 30 minutes or so of work on this particular keyword, and get them the rankings in a week or so. The client is happy at first, but then realize the keyword is not bringing enough traffic because it is not popular or it's bring in the wrong traffic, cause it's not targeted. This is where I have to then go back and explain about data and why understanding the data is important. Data is so important, you should look at your stats at least once a week, if not every day.
A perfect example is today I found about a minimum of 20 new keywords for each clients that they where not ranking a week ago for before, and we where not targeted. These keywords have already started to bring in good traffic, but most important GREAT sales. So now come tomorrow morning, my staff and me are going to be at work getting rankings for these as well. Keywords I would have not discover until maybe Monday, if I hadn't decided to randomly check all the stats on a Friday afternoon. That equates to an extra 2 days worth of sales, and in this economy every sale counts, and I believe my clients appreciate it.
One thing I will always love about data is it is never wrong.

Sometimes I really dread calling customer support for some companies. I am starting to think several companies add annoying obstacles just so they don't have to bother with us customer. I wonder if they forget that us customers are the reason they are in business. After dealing with some major companies like Sprint, ATT, Chase, and Wachovia to name a few I've come up with some suggestions on how to improve customer support for business that actually want to stay in business (I'm pissed since I had to spent over 40 minutes on hold with ATT/Bellsouth just to cancel my phone service, and they still tried to upgrade me).
Here are 10 rules I use to make sure clients get the proper attention they deserve and are happy with our services.
1. Offer Multiply Support Options
Offering a customer the opportunity to contact you on multiply levels gives them piece of mind from my experience. Not only do all my clients have access to the cell phone numbers of their account reps, but also project managers, marketing, the development team, the CEO, and me.
They also can get quick contact to us through our website through email, through a contact directory on our website, and as well as our project management system. What is a project management system; check out Basecamp, they know what they are doing.
Worst case scenario, if they lose their phone, or are not at their own computer, they can get in contact with us easily by visiting our website and looking up who and what department they want. Make communicating with clients easy for them.
2. Offer A 24/7 Emergency Line of Communication
Emergencies happen. Customer needs to communicate with you sometimes in the middle of the night. Lucky for me, I'm usually up at that time, but for other business owners allow customers quick access to an emergency number that does a round-robin connection to an "emergency team" will a better client experience. Nextiva is a service that offers such a way for cheap. (I'm not an affiliate).
3. Remove the Fax Process
Okay, serious there seem to be still companies that require a fax for certain documents. It might make sense, for example having a signed copy, but recently I need to reduce the overdraft to zero on a Wachovia account, and they only accept fax request of this one particular thing. Maybe it's because the major banks are literally banking off of people overdrafting and know that by requesting my overdraft to be set to zero, there is no chance of me every overdrafting and them charging me $35 each time, they put a 1001 hurdles in front of me.
But seriously if I can open up an ING Direct account over the Internet, why do I need a Fax machine to make a change to my current account with Wachovia? I don't even have a Fax machine. So now I gotta "figure this out". Please business owners, making it easier for customers to handle their account will only keep them. In regards to Wachovia, yes, I am in the search for a new bank of course; I don't have time to play around or figure out the ancient art of facsimile.
4. Metrics & Measure Performance
If you are running a business, especially a growing business, bottlenecks are going to happen. Having metric programs and measuring tools in place to monitor what is going on with customer support is essential. Even if you are a 2 person operation, there are programs that allow business owners to measure phone call times, time it takes to respond to email inquiries, message, project management, and other communication. Measure and understand where the bottlenecks are happening; then reduce or eliminate them!
5. Reduce Phone Waiting Time
I was really pissed at ATT, so I decided to cancel my phone service. Guess what?? I can only cancel my service by calling between certain business hours. I can't cancel through the web or email, just by calling. 2 days later I remembered to call during business hours, and guess what, I was on hold for over 40 minutes. Seriously, 40 minutes of business day waiting on hold to cancel a crappy phone and Internet service. Am I to believe that ATT doesn't have data analysts that see and say "Hey during business time, people are on hold for 40 minutes, maybe we should get more people to answer the phones?"
I mean ATT, you're the freaking phone company, how come I can analyze my sales teams and support phone calls, and know how many minutes each of them have been on the phone, and you can't? ATT you fail. Don't leave clients on hold for over 3 minutes in my opinion, 3 minutes and I am outta there.
6. Allow Call Back Numbers
Allowing customers to leave a call back numbers in my opinion is the best thing compared to leaving them on hold for 40 minute, ATT… The first time I encounter this was with Sprint, I called support, which for some reason is available 24/7 unlike ATT, and they gave the option to press 1, I think it was 1, to have a Sprint Rep call me back when they are available. 15 minutes later I get a call back, from someone waiting to help me out. Kudos Sprint. The technology exists, I don't know where but if you can't get it, simply stating on your voicemail to leave a call back number will give customers better piece of mind. Also in your voicemail, let them know about other opportunities to contact you like visiting your website, or your email address.
7. Lead Management
This one is more for sales that customer support. Lead management is critically to streamlining the sales process. If I fill out a form on your website at 9am on Monday, I should not have to wait till Thursday to get a phone call back about my inquiry. We have a lead management system in place at Karma Snack that once we get an inquiry we have email and text alerts going out and someone is calling the lead back within 5 to 20 minutes of them filling out the form, no matter WHAT TIME it is. If they filled it out at midnight, hey they are probably in the mood to talk at midnight, so we contact them (unless they specify a time to call them of course). A proper lead manage also eliminates the chance of losing deals/sales/potential clients. Know what stage a prospect is in, and the notes about conversations that were talked about. Lead management, it's important for any business that has potential clients.
8. Ticket Support System
A ticket support system is also a great tool to help you communicate better with clients. A ticket support system allows support and clients the opportunity for back and forth online, and saves the conversation for later references. I've seen mostly software and online technology companies using them, but they can be a great replacement for simply emails for customers.
9. Don't Outsource Support
Yeah, outsourcing is great for a business to reduce costs, but in the long run you are hurting your business, in my opinion. If a customer or client is calling you for support they have a problem, and are anxious or antsy to solve the problem. Now a days they get either an automated system or someone that is in a foreign land that is not even a part of the company that they are calling with the problem about.
It can really go down hill from there if a person has a heavy accent and is hard to understand. Remember they are calling because they have a problem, now they have to talk to someone who is not a part of the company in which they have a problem with, and now have a new problem of understanding what this current person is saying.
Or the person, who they are talking to, doesn't even have the power to solve their problem, so the customer is just wasting their time talking and now have to re-explain their problem to a supervisor. In my opinion, if a customer has a problem, you as a business owner better fix the problem before they even realize they have a problem; it's your business. Making the customer jump through hurdles doesn't help your business in the long run, so the couple of dollars you saved outsourcing your support, probably costs you hundred of thousands in lost future sales.
I am trying to stress quality in this article. Giving your customer better quality support will keep your customer happy in the long run.
10. Listen To Customers
The saying goes, "Customers are always right", right? I feel customers want to be loyal to a product/services they bought. In communicating with your customers you may find that several customers are suggesting certain things that can help you improve your business, company, or product. Listen to them. Enhance your product/services, and be glad that you are getting feedback.
If you don't listen to them what will happen is that a competitor might listen and improve upon your product/services and steal your customers. A prime example is Chase, somehow I became a customer since WAMU was bought by them, and now there are ridiculous fees up my "you know what". Chase is known for its fees, so I simply got tired and switched to ING Direct, No freaking fees on anything. All banking is online, I can get a great interest rate on savings and checking accounts, and did I mention, no fees? Listen to customers, otherwise they won't customers for long.
Well that's all for my ranting about improving customer support. I hope that anyone with a business can come out with a couple of great new ideas to better their interaction with customers. Contact me if you want more of my personal suggestions about any of items I talked about or to simply pick my brain! Adelard [at] KarmaSnack.com is my email.

Box Score
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (10/26/13) - The Princeton women's hockey lost a 4-0 game at No. 7 Harvard on Saturday, Oct. 26 at the Bright-Landry Hockey Center.

With less than two minutes remaining in the first period Sarah Edney rifled a shot through traffic and between the right pipe and netminder Kimberly Newell.
Crowe made it 3-0 with a power-play goal at 15:27 of the second and scored an even-strength goal at 13:52 of the third.
Newell made 26 saves for the Tigers.

After two-straight postseason appearances, including the semifinals of the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) in 2010-11 and the championship round of the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) in 2011-12, Ken Bone returns for his fourth season as head coach of the Washington State University men's basketball program. Named the 17th head coach in Cougar basketball history April 6, 2009, Bone spent the previous four years resurrecting the program at Portland State where he led the Vikings to NCAA Tournament appearances his final two seasons.
In 2011-12 Ken Bone became the fifth WSU head coach to take his team to two postseason tournaments, and just the third to accomplish the feat in consecutive seasons, as the Cougars made their first appearance in the CBI, reaching the championship round where they fell to Pittsburgh, two games to one, in the best-of-three series. Bone led his squad to a 4-2 mark in the CBI, notching the most single-season postseason wins by any WSU team, bettering last season's 3-1 postseason record. The Cougars finished with a 19-18 overall record, marking the sixth-straight winning season.
At the conclusion of the season, four Cougars earned All-Pac-12 honors, highlighted by Brock Motum being named to the First Team and the league's Most Improved Player. Junior Reggie Moore was named Pac-12 Honorable Mention, senior Marcus Capers All-Defensive Team Honorable Mention and DaVonté Lacy All-Freshman Team Honorable Mention. In the classroom, redshirt senior Abe Lodwick earned Pac-12 All-Academic Second Team honors, marking this third-straight all-academic accolades. He was joined on the team by sophomore Patrick Simon, while redshirt senior Charlie Enquist was named honorable mention.
As the Cougars' second-year head coach in 2010-11, Bone led his squad to a 22-13 overall mark and to the semifinals of the NIT at New York's Madison Square Garden. WSU's 22 wins tie for the 10th most in school history as it reached 20-plus wins for just the 18th time.
Under Bone's tutelage, junior Klay Thompson earned All-Pac-10 First team honors for the second-straight year, becoming just the fourth Cougar to be named first team all-league in multiple seasons. Thompson went on to become the 11th pick of the 2011 NBA Draft, going to the Golden State Warriors as the highest NBA Draft pick in school history.
Fellow junior DeAngelo Casto went on to earn second-team all-conference honors and became the first Cougar to earn a spot on the Pac-10 All-Defensive Team twice, picking up his second-consecutive honor. In the classroom, junior Lodwick was named to the Pac-10 All-Academic first team, picking up academic honors for the second-consecutive season.
In his first year at the helm for WSU in 2009-10, Bone led the Cougars to a 16-15 overall mark and 6-12 Pacific-10 Conference record. Under his leadership, Thompson earned All-Pac-10 First Team honors, while Casto was named honorable mention all-conference and to the Pac-10 All-Defensive team. Bone's very first recruit, Moore, whom he signed in the late signing period after being hired, was named to the conference's five-man all-freshman team.
Proving that academics hold an important part of his coaching philosophy, at the conclusion of the season, two Cougars were named to the Pac-10 All-Conference teams, Nikola Koprivica to the first squad and Lodwick to the second.
Prior to his stint at WSU, Bone spent the previous four years as the head coach at Portland State, leading the Vikings to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances in 2007-08 and 2008-09. The Vikings went 23-10 during each of the last two years, the two best seasons in the 48-year history of the program. In his four seasons with the Vikings, Bone posted a 77-49 record, the best winning percentage of any PSU coach since basketball was reinstated in 1996-97 (.611).
Bone led Portland State to its finest season in school history in 2007-08, winning a school-record 23 games en route to the Big Sky Conference regular season and tournament titles and making the school's first appearance in the NCAA Division I Tournament. As a result, Bone earned Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year honors, becoming the first Viking basketball coach to do so.
His encore performance in 2008-09 was equally impressive. The Vikings again won 23 games on their way to a second-place regular season finish in the Big Sky and second-straight conference tournament title. The automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament meant PSU was going dancing for the second time in program history, and the second year in a row, this time as a No. 13 seed. The season included PSU's first win over a ranked opponent when the Vikings upended No. 7 Gonzaga 77-70 in Spokane (Dec. 23, 2008). The Vikings also gave Washington a scare with a one-point, 84-83 loss in Seattle (Dec. 14, 2008).
During his final two seasons at PSU, Bone coached a Big Sky Conference Player and Newcomer of the Year, the Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year and six All-Big Sky selections. In his four years, the Vikings had 10 All-Big Sky selections.
No stranger to the Pacific Northwest, Bone holds a 351-181 record in 18 years as a head coach, including 12 seasons at his alma mater, Seattle Pacific University. He registered a 253-97 (.723) record with the Falcons between 1990 and 2002. Bone's SPU teams claimed six outright or shared Pacific West Conference championships and earned eight NCAA playoff appearances. The Falcons made five trips to the NCAA Division II Sweet 16 over a span of eight years, including a semifinal appearance in 2000 that capped a 27-5 season. In 2000, Bone was recognized as both NABC District 8 Coach of the Year and PacWest Conference Co-Coach of the Year.
During Bone's final season at Seattle Pacific, the Falcons posted a 24-5 record, advanced to the second round of the NCAA playoffs and were ranked ninth in the final 2002 poll.
Between his stints at SPU and PSU, Bone spent the 2002-05 seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Washington, playing a major role as the program returned to national prominence.
In 2005 Bone helped direct Washington to the Pacific-10 Conference title as the Huskies earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the Sweet 16. The previous year, Washington had a runner-up finish in the Pac-10 regular-season standings. In 2004 the Huskies advanced to the championship game of the Pac-10 Tournament and competed in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1999. That season UW swept the three meetings with highly-ranked Arizona and capped the regular season with a win over No. 1 and undefeated Stanford.
Bone's time spent in Seattle and around the Northwest has made him a seasoned, and renowned, recruiter of the area. During his stint at Washington he helped lure five in-state signees, including All-American Jon Brockman. At PSU, Bone reeled in seven players from Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. At WSU, Bone has been responsible for bringing in 11 Washington-natives, including six scholarship players in his three seasons.
A Seattle native, Bone graduated from Seattle Pacific in 1983 and received his master's in athletic administration in 1993. He played two seasons (1980-82) at SPU after one-year stints at Shoreline and Edmonds (Wash.) Community Colleges. He is a Shorecrest (Wash.) High School graduate.
Ken and his wife Connie have three daughters, Kendra, Jenae and Chelsea.

I'm starting to tackle my kitchen cabinets. This is one of my most dreaded chores. I have a lot of cabinets and I have a lot of stuff. If I break it down and do a few at a time it doesn't seem so horrible. I've started with L.M's cabinets His food is kept separate from ours (for the most part) and everything is labeled with yellow smiley face stickers so it stands out as safe for his allergies. I'm glad I did his first. I thought I had more pasta than I do and there was some shelf stable soy milk that that I thought was OK, but had expired in December. I'll need to replace that for emergency situations. Here are the before and after pictures.
I also FINALLY put together my "2007" folders for the filing cabinet. Yes, this should have been done in January, but I guess mid-February isn't too bad. At least it's done and the big pile of 2007 paperwork can be filed and removed from the top of my dresser.
Good luck everyone with your tackles. Visit 5 Minutes For Mom to join in on Tackle It Tuesday. Happy Tuesday :)

New Smyrna police chief job draws 152 applicants
Published: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 5:20 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 10:37 p.m.
More than 150 people have applied to become New Smyrna Beach's next chief of police, including the current interim chief.
List of applicants
A complete list of all 152 applicants for police chief is at the end of the story.
Lt. Mike Brouillette is the lone New Smyrna Beach Police Department employee to submit an application in the nationwide search to fill the vacancy left open by the retirement of Police Chief Ron Pagano in December. Brouillette has served as interim chief since Jan. 22, with a current salary of $78,940.
"It's really quite surprising," said Carol Hargy, the city's human resources director, of the number of job seekers wishing to head the 56-member department with a budget of $5.05 million.
Candidates from as far away as Fairbanks, Alaska, put their names in contention, and 44 applicants are from Florida.
Closer to home, along with Brouillette, four applicants listed New Smyrna Beach as their residence of record. One of the New Smyrna Beach job seekers is retired Florida Department of Law Enforcement chief of investigations David C. Donaway.
The candidates' list includes the Volusia County Sheriff's Office District 4 (Deltona) commander, Capt. David Brannon, and two Flagler County sheriff's captains, Mark Carman and J. Lynne Catoggio, both of Palm Coast.
Other familiar names are Tallahassee Police Chief Dennis M. Jones, who was Daytona Beach's police chief prior to current Chief Mike Chitwood, and one of Chitwood's former charges, retired Daytona Beach Deputy Chief Benjamin Walton, who now lives in Philadelphia.
The International Association of Chief's of Police is coordinating the search effort. Under its $32,000 contract, recruiters developed a marketing and advertising campaign to attract candidates, will screen the applicants — including telephone interviews — and rank the finalists based on the city's criteria.
The association will additionally perform background checks and help the city negotiate an offer for the position, which pays in a range of $73,000 to $112,861 annually, according to Hargy. Pagano received an annual salary of $102,752.
During meetings with Police Department personnel and city residents in January, recruiters heard from the officers they wanted more of a front-line leader sitting at the chief's desk, while residents were more concerned the new top cop is responsive to their needs.
The association is slated to provide the city with a roster of finalists who are expected to be introduced to the public during a "meet the community" gathering tentatively scheduled from 4 to 6:30 p.m. March 27 at the Brannon Center, 105 S. Riverside Drive, Hargy said.

ZF-2246: Tagging of cache records broken in ZendPlatform Backend
When using ZendPlatform as the backend for Zend_Cache, the tagging of records is not working as expected. Each unique tag will reference the first record that was tagged with it, only. This seems due to the fact that output_cache_put() does not overwrite an existing record with the same key.
Preceding the call to output_cache_put() with a call to output_cache_remove_key() seems to solve the issue:
--- ../../live/inc/Zend/Cache/Backend/ZendPlatform.php Thu Jul 19 00:00:24 2007 +++ Zend/Cache/Backend/ZendPlatform.php Thu Nov 29 15:30:51 2007 @@ -148,6 +148,7 @@ $old_tags = array(); } $old_tags[$id] = $id; + output_cache_remove_key($tagid); $result2 = output_cache_put($tagid, $old_tags); }
fixed in SVN (thanks for the patch)

Basic Questions and Answers About HIV Transmission
January 16, 2015
Myths persist about how HIV is transmitted. This section provides the facts about HIV risk from different types of sex, injection drug use, and other activities.
Table of Contents
How Is HIV Passed From One Person to Another?
In the United States, HIV is spread mainly by having sex or sharing injection drug equipment such as needles with someone who has HIV.
Only certain fluids -- blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk -- from an HIV-infected person can transmit HIV. These fluids must come in contact with a mucous membrane or damaged tissue or be directly injected into the bloodstream (from a needle or syringe) for transmission to possibly occur. Mucous membranes can be found inside the rectum, the vagina, the opening of the penis, and the mouth.
In the United States, HIV is spread mainly by
Less commonly, HIV may be spread by
How Well Does HIV Survive Outside the Body?
HIV does not survive long outside the human body (such as on surfaces), and it cannot reproduce. It is not spread by
Can I Get HIV From Anal Sex?
Yes. In fact, having anal sex is the riskiest type of sex for getting or spreading HIV.
HIV can be found in the blood, semen (cum), preseminal fluid (pre-cum), or rectal fluid of a person infected with the virus. The bottom is at greater risk of getting HIV because the lining of the rectum is thin and may allow HIV to enter the body during anal sex, but the top is also at risk because HIV can enter through the opening of the penis or through small cuts, abrasions, or open sores on the penis. See the Prevention Q&As for more information.
Can I Get HIV From Vaginal Sex?
Yes. In general vaginal sex is not as risky anal sex, but is still a high-risk behavior for HIV infection.
It is possible for either partner to become infected this way. This risk depends on many factors, including whether the partners are using condoms, whether the partner with HIV is using antiretroviral therapy (ART) consistently and correctly and whether the partner who is HIV-negative is using pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) consistently and correctly. Condoms and HIV medicines can greatly lower the risk of transmitting HIV.
In women, HIV can be directly absorbed through the mucous membranes that line the vagina and cervix. The lining of the vagina can also sometimes tear and possibly allow HIV to enter the body.
In men, HIV can enter the body through the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis) or through small cuts or open sores on the penis. Men who are not circumcised are at greater risk of HIV infection through vaginal sex than are circumcised men.
Risk for HIV infection increases if you or a partner also has a sexually transmitted disease (STD). See also Is there a connection between HIV and other sexually transmitted infections?
Many barrier methods that women use to prevent pregnancy (e.g., diaphragm, cervical cap) do not protect them against HIV or other STDs because they still allow infected semen (cum) to come in contact with the lining of the vagina.
Oral or hormonal contraceptives (e.g., birth control pills) do not protect women against HIV or other STDs.

What are the policies for moderating an internship?
Please click here to read in full.
What is expected of a faculty moderator?
When a student earns internship credits, the role of the faculty moderator is to make certain the internship is a valuable learning experience for the student. Faculty can do this by helping the student plan what goes into the Registration for Internship Learning Contract. Make sure the student understands your expectations prior to the start of internship when writing up this important registration form. After the internship has started, make sure the intern completes any revisions to the contract to refelct changes he/she encounters.
What should a faculty moderator expect of the intern?
In addition to the reports the student submits to the Internship Program and the site supervisor's evaluations, the faculty moderator should also require the student to do interpretive thinking and critical analysis in a number of ways. This may include regular journals, a portfolio, a final paper, several small papers or a final presentation. Faculty may also provide a book list and require book reports or an annotated bibliography.
When should students begin searching for an internship?
Students planning an internship should begin discussion with their faculty advisers as early as possible. Meetings with your advisees are an opportunity to discuss their interests and help students plan ahead. Active planning for an internship for academic credit should begin no later than the student's junior year.
What's Covered in the Legal and Professional Issues Session? The Legal and Professional Issues Session, conducted by the Assistant Director of Experiential Learning & Community Engagement, informs students about: the professional expectations of internship site supervisors, registration procedures, legal issues in the workplace and other program requirements. This session is REQUIRED for all interns before they can register to earn internship credits. Sessions are offered at various times throughout the year. Please check the Internship Program Calendar for dates and times. Students can pick the time that works best with their schedule and do not need to register for this session in advance.
What is the Registration for Internship Learning Contract?
This form (the registration form) must be completed by the student in order to register for internship credits. Before the internship begins, the student discusses with the site supervisor, their academic, professional and personal goals in the context of potential projects and responsibilities available at the site. The supervisor may provide a job description which the student and faculty moderator can refer to when they meet to discuss and create learning goals. The student then prepares a rough draft of their goals and objectives and meets with their faculty moderator for guidance and approval. Faculty moderators should also discuss their evaluation requirements at this time. Goals, Objectives and Means of Evaluation are outlined in final form on the Registration for Internship - Learning Contract (now completed via an online form). This outline functions as a learning agreement between the parties involved in the internship, and as such, is signed by the intern and requires an approval signature from the site supervisor, the faculty moderator, the department chairperson and the Assistant Director of Experiential Learning & Community Engagement.
Under what circumstances should the faculty moderator ask for a Revised Learning Contract?
In circumstances where goals and objectives are not firm at the time of registration, faculty may require a revised Learning Contract from the student. Examples: the student is unable to get a clear assignment of responsibilities from the supervisor prior to the start of the internship or the faculty moderator determines the student's goals and objectives are inadequate but registration cannot be delayed. In these instances the student may register with a broad outline and the faculty moderator will require a revised learning contract a week or two after the start of the internship. This requirement should be listed in the Means of Evaluation portion of the registration form. The student will need to sign the revisions, have the supervisor and faculty moderator sign, and submit a signed copy to the Internship Program.
It is also possible for a student to initiate a change in the goals and objectives in the first week or two after the internship begins. When work content or goals change or evolve after the start of the internship, the student, in consultation with the faculty moderator and the site supervisor, may revise the goals and objectives outlined on the registration form. The student, faculty moderator and site supervisor will sign the revised contract and the student will submit a signed copy to the Internship Program.
What reports will I receive from my intern through the Internship Program?
All student interns prepare a Registration for Internship Learning Contract. You will receive a copy of this document after all approval signatures have been obtained by the online learning contract system. The Internship Program requires all interns to complete two online reports within the first two months of their internship. Specific deadlines for semester reports can be found on the Internship Report and Due Dates page. After the Internship Program receives these reports, we will forward copies electronically to you, generally by email. If you require a final paper, the student should submit this directly to you.
How much time is an intern required to work when taking an internship for credit?
Duration of Internships for Credit:
*Academic Year: 16 weeks over one semester
*Summer: 12 weeks over summer break
The minimum hour guidelines for earning internship credits:
1 to 4 credits: 160 hours in one semester
8 credits: 320 hours in one semester
16 credits: 640 hours in one semester
What are the best ways for me to maintain contact with my intern?
Prior to the start of the internship, you and the intern should agree upon a method of contact. This can be completed when you meet with the intern to plan the Registration for Internship Learning Contract. Students expect to remain in contact with you and appreciate your feedback. You should expect your intern to call or email you periodically, for example every two or three weeks. You may also want to contact your intern. Phone numbers for contacting your intern are listed on the registration form. You may also phone or email the Internship Program for help in contacting an intern.
What is the role of the CSB/SJU internship staff during the internship?
The internship staff acts as a liaison between the student, college faculty, and the organization providing the internship. This involves monitoring the intern's progress, providing information for all parties of the internship, and receiving feedback from the organizations where interns are placed. Contact with you may include a conference call or site visit with the intern, the intern's site supervisor and faculty moderator, and the Assistant Director of Experiential Learning & Community Engagement. We encourage you to contact the Internship Program at any time if you have questions or concerns.
How are internship opportunities publicized on campus?
Organizations interested in offering an internship are directed from our website to E-Link, an online internship and job listing site sponsored by Career Services. Students can register and begin using E-Link at any time. Most students will register no later than their junior year. The Internship Program also sends regular emails to students and faculty with information about internships of particular interest to our campuses.
How is a student evaluated in order to earn credits for the internship?
The Internship Program requires students to turn in two reports within the first two months of the internship. The faculty moderator requires the student to do interpretive thinking and critical analysis in a number of ways. This may include weekly journals, a portfolio, a final paper or presentation or several small papers. Faculty may provide a book list and require book reports or an annotated bibliography. The site supervisor's mid-term and final evaluations of the intern are additional criteria used to determine the student's grade. Faculty requirements should be listed on the Registration for Internship Learning Contract in the Means of Evaluation section. The individual department will determine whether to grant a letter or pass/fail grade.
When do internships for credit begin and end?
Fall and spring semester internships generally begin on the first day of classes and end on the last day of classes. Other arrangements may be made between the student and the organization, provided the student meets the internship hours requirement of the college when taking an internship for credit. During the summer, start and end dates may vary, but summer internships are typically 12 weeks in length, beginning shortly after the end of the spring semester and ending shortly before the start of fall semester.
Can student interns be directly supervised by parents or family members?
As stated in the Site Supervisor Handbook, it is neither recommended nor typical that a parent or family member serves as direct supervisor for student interns. Students must obtain prior approval from the academic department to deviate from this guideline. If approved by a faculty member, internship placements where students are supervised by family members or parents will be closely monitored by the Office of Experiential Learning & Community Engagement.

Plans have been made, flights booked, bags packed. Yep, it's holiday travel season. But what if you're nervous to get on that plane? Or cringe at the thought of airport security lines? Take a deep breath and let Marion C. Blakey, president and CEO of the Aerospace Industries Association—and former administrator of the Federal Aviation Association—give you reasons not to worry.
"One of the things many people who fly don't realize is, not only is it the safest mode of transportation, by far statistically safer than getting in your car, but even when there are accidents —and I'm talking about when a plane comes out of the sky, not just clipping a wing at the terminal —the vast majority are survivable," she says. "Survivability is much higher than people know—above 90 percent. Just knowing that can be reassuring."
We spoke with Blakey about common flying fears, how to inform yourself on airplane safety and ways to make your holiday air travel experience easier. An edited version of the interview follows.
MORE: With travel season getting in high gear, what are the most common fears people have when it comes to flying?
Marion Blakey: You can put them into two categories, catastrophic and annoyance. I think a lot of people are reluctant to fly, in part, because they perceive there's a lot of hassle. But if you're talking about the true fear of flying—people who are worrying that we're up at 30,000 feet and can't put our feet down—I think it helps to point out some of the facts. Not only do we have an extraordinarily safe system these days, but if you look at the curve on aviation accidents—and I'm talking about commercial, not general aviation—there's a dramatic drop in the number of accidents and certainly of fatal crashes since deregulation of the airlines back in the late '70s.
MORE: So knowing air travel really is safe can help calm some nervous flyers?
MB: I think people who are afraid of flying probably don't have as much background on the kind of safety training the crews of any airline go through. We see flight attendants as being people who are there to cater to the wishes we have as passengers, but there's a lot more to those jobs. Their training is extensive and they really do know a tremendous amount about safely evacuating [a plane] and addressing safety issues as they come up. If you're a nervous flyer, it probably would helps to spend a little time talking to a flight attendant about those things because they can provide you with important information.
Survivability also goes to things like paying attention to the briefing, the safety exit, counting the number of seats between your seat and the exit, so that if you are in a situation where you have smoke in the cabin, the lights are out or it's a bit chaotic, you already took the time to figure out your surroundings. Being informed and aware, I believe, contributes to the confidence of people who fly.
MORE: Are there places online where people can go to check on air safety information?
MB: In terms of safety, the National Transportation Safety Board and the FAA have some very practical tips.
Personally, when I travel, I am more interested in the track record for delays. It really would not occur to me to check on the carrier's equipment and the safety record of the equipment. It is, however, absolutely a good idea to check on the safety of small airlines and airlines in developing countries if you're traveling there. One of the things people going on safari, for example, may not always know is that safety regulations in other countries aren't necessarily what we take for granted here. There are 80 different commercial carriers in Africa, so you've got a lot of variance there. Another thing I think is important is to check on a country's safety rating from the FAA. Most of the airports we all fly into are safe and have been reviewed and audited by the FAA, so there has been a third party scrutiny about the way they operate and do business, and even the regulatory requirements that they have to adhere to.
MORE: Are American airlines safer than international airlines?
MB: It depends on the country and the track record of the carrier. It really would be wrong to say that U.S. airlines are safer. I don't think you would see more than a mirco difference with many countries.
MORE: Are smaller planes less safe than large ones?
MB: There is a difference in the track record between general aviation and commercial aviation. In general aviation, you lump in people who own their own planes, who sometimes don't fly very often or who are sometimes less experienced. So, with that whole universe, yes, there is considerable difference and there's a lot of effort that goes into trying to get people who fly their own planes to be very, very, very rigorous about training and flight hours and all of that.
When it comes to charter service, which was the issue for the Mexican flight that just went down with the singer [Jenni Rivera] on it, there's a difference in the track record for those charters. There is a difference in their ability to hire seasoned pilots—often pilots for small charters will have fewer flight hours. Now, I'm not talking about NetJets or some of the majors, but [safety concerns and pilot experience] are certainly worth asking and inquiring about.
MORE: So it's more a pilot issue than mechanical issue?
MB: Over 70 percent of all aviation accidents are pilot error, so it's the human factor that gets you much more than the technology or the equipment.
MORE: What do the stats say on pilots—young v. old, or male v. female?
MB: I'm not aware of any significant differences in terms of safety records on the older/younger, and certainly not male/female. The number of flight hours of experience is something you could correlate to age, and experience matters, there's no question about it. But remember, a number of younger pilots are also people coming out of the military who have had rigorous, rigorous flight training and may have flown extensively, in circumstances that really hone your flying skills. So, I really wouldn't put it on an age thing.
MORE: Has flying become safer since 9/11?
MB: If you're using the word "safer" to include something that is a terrorist act, I do think so. There have been practically no instances of security issues with U.S. flights since 9/11. The couple that we all know about, the shoe bomber or the Christmas Day underwear bomber, for example, were coming from abroad. I do think the kind of rigorous screening that has been instituted by TSA contributes to our overall security in traveling.
MORE: Do you think all the security screening—taking off our shoes, for example—really makes air travel safer?
MB: Yes, I do. When I was at FAA, I was very much aware of the information that came from the intelligence community and the way TSA was using technology and screening tactics. These days, I'm no more informed than the average flyer, but I do believe they have had very valid reasons for making the requirements they now do and I think they have also tried, over time, to look at the demographics of who is flying. Now young children and much older people don't have to take their shoes off or their coats off, and they have made accommodations. As the screening gets better and better, I think it will be less and less intrusive.
MORE: What are some ways to get to your gate without a lot of stress?
MB: If you're trying to make the process as hassle-free as possible, remember to pack sensibly in terms of your carry-on. You can leave the smaller iPad-type computers in your carry-on, and usually a lot of us are carrying chargers and all of that. Pack them so that the chargers and the cords are not all wadded around everything and balled up and hard to see. There are sensible ways to make sure you're not one of those people who is going to be pulled over and have everything taken out of your bag. Unfortunately, don't wrap the Christmas presents, because they may very well get unwrapped and that's a big hassle for everybody.
MORE: In the future, we may see pilot-less flights. Could those be even safer if pilot error is so often to blame for accidents?
MB: There is a tremendous amount of dated information that says that unmanned and semi-autonomous aircraft are very safe. But I don't think the technology is there yet to have that kind of solid assurance. Most of this [sort of flying] is being done by aircraft that are flown in places like Afghanistan and Iraq, and here, but in very controlled circumstances. Trying to integrate those flights with all the other flights—we haven't gotten there yet. Within the next 10 years, there is going to be a brand new system called NextGen, which is moving us from flights that are controlled by radar—controlling flights by radio, voice communication to cockpit—to flights that are part of a satellite-based and digital communication system that is highly precise, much safer and, frankly, is going to be more efficient. We will not be experiencing the kinds of delays and issues we have in today's system.
MORE: There have been huge technology improvements in aircraft.
MB: New aircraft right now are flying computers. When you look at the Boeing Dreamliner, the 787, it has a tremendous amount of technology built in and capabilities that are just inherent to the safety of the aircraft itself. It's only one more step to go to where you really are flying the plane almost entirely on autopilot. There are all sorts of advances that are coming into play that would essentially have the cockpit shared by a pilot and an autonomous system. I think you're going to see those kinds of changes coming much more quickly than looking in the cockpit and seeing some version of R2D2.
MORE: Is there any flight you wouldn't want to take yourself?
MB: I love to fly. I've flown experimental aircraft and I've flown an F16. But if I am flying in a developinbg nation, I would check before booking a flight on an airline or charter service I never heard of. That is were I tend to be a little more careful, but otherwise, no.
MORE: What's next in aviation?
MB: Next year, you're going to see Virgin Galactic begin to fly passengers—as they term it, private astronauts—to a height that puts you weightless, and there's a whole long queue of people who have paid $200,000 a ticket to do it. To my mind, that's great; I like that this is all pushing into a new area of flight and, really, the ability for a private citizen to access space. But that isn't transportation; that falls into adventure sport and that's a different category. I haven't put my money down yet, I will tell you. But if I had an extra $200,000 lying around, I might.

text: The first three showings were sold out hours early as die hard fans, or twi-hards as they call themselves, turned out despite the chilly and sometimes wet conditions to be some of the first to see the final installment of the "Twilight" series, "Breaking Dawn: Part 2," at the Edwards Cinema in the Kaleidoscope center in Mission Viejo Thursday night. "I read the books six years ago, and it's more about the story. I'm not a huge fan of the actual movies, to be honest," said Tracie Thiel of Laguna Niguel. "I just love the story," she added. Vanessa Mendoza of Laguna Hills, who arrived at 4:30 p.m. to be first in line for the 10 p.m. showing, made fast friends with Nagel Collins of Santa Ana, waiting in line right behind her. They were some of over 650 people who bought tickets early, part of the phenomena helping the four "Twilight" films collect $1.1 billion worldwide.

These conditions often go undiagnosed because their symptoms—such as exhaustion, fever, weight gain and joint pain—are commonplace and vague. If your doctor is unclear about what ails you, be sure he has checked you for:
Lyme disease, a systemic bacterial infection transmitted by a tick bite.
Celiac disease, in which gluten (a protein in wheat, barley and rye) harms the intestines during digestion and leads to nutritional deficiencies.
Lupus, an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and damage in many organs in the body.
Hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland doesn't produce a sufficient quantity of a critical hormone.
Narcolepsy, a nervous system disorder in which the brain makes too little of a crucial protein, leading the sufferer to suddenly fall asleep in the daytime.

Kirby's post probably makes more sense in one of the other recent threads, but I don't entirely disagree with him. Many of the atheists I've met are some of the least tolerant people I can imagine.
religion doesn't cause problems, stupid people believing in religion start problems.
oh, and even if religions werent around, people would find something to fight or quarrel over
your welcome
not to mention that the majority of athiests are smug and completely intolerant as qoorl said.
i have never met one athiest who would simply allow others to believe what they wanted and be okay with it.
your welcome
I'm not sure about.... any of what you just said Kirby.
i think he means spirituality. religion is the vast agreement of a certain spirituality and moral code, and people will always have a natural discrepancy between moral/spiritual code.
your welcome
I watched this show, where they took people, who where spiritual, and locked them in a dark room while monitoring there brain. What they found is after a few hours of pure boredom, the people started to have dilusions, and this part of the brain was responsible for it.
Back to the 9/11 topic. I was thinking that they still would of done it. I mean what are they fighting for? There cultural identity? Its not like you don't see people killing themselfs for non-religious causes.
athiests are too smug to realize the full potential and spiritual connections of the human mind.
your welcome
This... wasn;t about 9-11... but moving into that. They're extremists... Religion is a motivator but also a hatred and jealousy of our nation. The U.S. hasn't done a good job of making friends the last 50 years or so... And as a result we've been suffering for it lately. In theory it seems like a good idea to arm rebels to get rid of foreign leaders we don't like... but it ends up putting someone similar in charge and leaving a lot of people ruined and pissed off.... these are generalizations of course but it does go some way to explaining things.
i thought the terrorist hated arre freedom and also there is truly always be for people make up something for anything like kirby set it is a hardwired thing.im christian and have thoughts of mineown but do believe in christ
it always seems imposible until it's done-nelson mandella

Atheists don't "celebrate" lent
Its amazing to think of it, but literally one Roman guy liked Christianity. Then the whole religion of Rome was changed, which lead to untamently there downfall and then the downfall of all of Europe. After much genocide of the new "Holy Roman Empire" most pegans where killed off, even though it was once the dominent religion of the world. Honestly, only just 1,200 years ago most white people where praying to the Godess of firtility.

Tommy Clarke is a native New Yorker and was a first-responder at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. His experience at the tragedy profoundly changed his life. Clarke felt a duty to keep alive the memory of those who died that day, as well as the survivors who still suffer effects from the attacks and the collapse of the towers.
Clarke enlisted his longtime friend and three-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Eric Clapton to create something to honor the three services of first responders – the New York Police Department, the Fire Department of New York and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Clapton brought in master luthier Todd Krause from the Fender Guitar Custom Shop and legendary graffiti artist Lee Quinones to design and build three guitars.
Quinones interviewed many 9/11 survivors to get their thoughts and impressions about the events. With their stories as inspiration, Quinones and Clarke conceptualized the renderings that Quinones then painted on the back of each guitar. Clarke secured authentic badges and commendation bars, and Krause installed them on the instruments he built himself. Clapton brought these guitars on tour with him in 2011 and played them onstage in Brazil.
All three guitars are on exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.

is there anything special needed to convert a 5.45 saiga? i guess the biggest question is the bullet guide and if the ak74 mags would fit?

is there anything special needed to convert a 5.45 saiga? i guess the biggest question is the bullet guide and if the ak74 mags would fit?
Well, since it's an AK74 with a funny stock on it, I'd say . . . YES, AK74 mags will fit (with the same mods being necessary as the other Saigas)
Bullet guide? These guns are identical to the .223 Saigas, with the exception of the bore diameter.
i haven't converted a 5.45x39 but it should be a cakewalk with the 5.45 mags being the same as any other ak74 mag.
you likely still need a bullet guide. i just made mine out of some pipe steel it wasn't very difficult.
I have read people are able to fire the 5.45x39 without the bullet guide, but I think you should install one if you want reliability. It's not that hard to do. You can even make one pretty easily from some cut steel pipe (Check it out on the saiga-12 website)
I made my bullet guide for a 7.62x39 saiga with a piece of ss 3/4 inch pipe using a dremal tool,drill and tap.
I finished my saiga 5.45 conversion last week and I am waiting on two bulgarian mags. When i get them i will compare them to the stock saiga mag and give you guys a heads up.
there she is ladies and gentlemen. I have looked at my buddies fake wood bakelite for his wasr 2, and came to the conclusion that the stock saiga mag and the bakelite were similar. But will do a side by side soon.
Just got the mags today. I compared the feed lips and front of the magazine. they are slightly different. In operation they feed just fine. the magazine itself requires no mods, no feed ramp is needed.
Just a note: the 5.45x39 saiga's that are here now have a flat channel for the bullet guide so the cut piece of pipe won't work. Looks just as easy to make though, just use a piece of flat steel. Not sure of the measurements as I haven't made mine yet but I will post when I get them. Or you can pay $30 for one at dinzagarms.

Dried Fruits
Savory & Succulent
Seven pounds of ripe fruits are needed to produce one pound of our delicious sun dried tomatoes. They have the same nutritional value as the fresh ones: high in Lycopene (for a healthy heart), antioxidants, vitamin C (40% of daily requirement), Iron, no cholesterol, no fat and are low in calories.
Today, sun dried tomatoes are one of the most exquisite gourmet ingredients, adding their burst of flavor and aroma to Mediterranean and Raw food creations, salsa, dressings and toppings. Sun dried tomatoes may be soaked and rinsed before use.
STORE IN A COOL DARK PLAC These are DELICIOUS. A bit salty by themselves, but after soaking they are tempered and then the SOAK JUICE is also utilizable and could act as a salting agent as well.
There are few vegetables that better mark the summer months than the sweet juiciness of a vine-ripened tomato. Although tomatoes are now available year-round, the truly wonderful qualities of tomatoes are the best when they are in season from July through September.
Tomatoes have fleshy internal segments filled with slippery seeds surrounded by a watery matrix. They can be red, yellow, orange, green, purple, or brown in color. Although tomatoes are fruits in a botanical sense, they don't have the dessert quality sweetness of other fruits. Instead they have a subtle sweetness that is complemented by a slightly bitter and acidic taste. Dehydrating tempers the acid and bitter qualities in tomatoes and brings out their warm, rich, sweetness.
Antioxidant Benefits of Lycopene
In the area of food and phytonutrient research, nothing has been hotter in the last several years than studies on the lycopene in tomatoes. This carotenoid found in tomatoes (and everything made from them) has been extensively studied for its antioxidant and cancer-preventing properties. The antioxidant function of lycopene its ability to help protect cells and other structures in the body from oxygen damage"has been linked in human research to the protection of DNA (our genetic material) inside of white blood cells. Prevention of heart disease has been shown to be another antioxidant role played by lycopene.
In contrast to many other food phytonutrients, whose effects have only been studied in animals, lycopene from tomatoes has been repeatedly studied in humans and found to be protective against a growing list of cancers. These cancers now include colorectal, prostate, breast, endometrial, lung, and pancreatic cancers. While lycopene may play an important role in tomatoes' health benefits, it seems that it is not the only nutritional star integral for giving this food a red-hot reputation for health promotion; recent research discussed below in the section "Protection Due to Synergy of Tomato's Nutrients, Not Just Lycopene" describes how scientists are finding out that it is the array of nutrients included in tomatoes, including, but not limited to lycopene, that confers it with so much health value. All the while, it's still important to understand the many benefits that lycopene provides.
Colon Health
A study published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that in patients with colorectal adenomas, a type of polyp that is the precursor for most colorectal cancers, blood levels of lycopene were 35% lower compared to study subjects with no polyps. Blood levels of beta-carotene also tended to be 25.5% lower, although according to researchers, this difference was not significant. In their final (multiple logistic regression) analysis, only low levels of plasma lycopene (less than 70 micro-gram per liter) and smoking increased the likelihood of colorectal adenomas, but the increase in risk was quite substantial: low levels of lycopene increased risk by 230% and smoking by 302%.
Prostate Health
Tomatoes have been shown to be helpful in reducing the risk of prostate cancer.
A 14-month study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute underscores the importance of a healthy whole foods diet rich in tomatoes in the prevention of prostate cancer. In this study, laboratory animals fed a lycopene-rich diet and treated with N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (a carcinogen) and testosterone to induce prostate cancer had a similar risk of death from prostate cancer as rats fed a control diet. In contrast, animals fed whole tomato powder were 26% less likely to die of prostate cancer. By the end of the study, 80% of the control group and 72% of the animals fed lycopene had succumbed to prostate cancer, while only 62% of the animals fed whole tomato powder had died.
In addition to the controls and those animals receiving lycopene or tomato powder, each group was also divided into two sub-groups, one of which was given 20% less food than the other sub-group. Animals on the energy-restricted, tomato-based diet fared best of all, showing a 32% drop in their risk of dying from prostate cancer.
Helping You Bone Up
Tomatoes are a very good source of vitamin K. The 17.8% of the daily value for vitamin K that is found in one cup of raw tomato is important for maintaining bone health. Vitamin K1 activates osteocalcin, the major non-collagen protein in bone. Osteocalcin anchors calcium molecules inside of the bone. Therefore, without enough vitamin K1, osteocalcin levels are inadequate, and bone mineralization is impaired.
