Interview with a Nutritarian: Augie
It's not everyday that one is introduced to a legend, but today you are about to meet one. His name is Augie, and when he was celebrating his eightieth birthday two years ago, he was glad that he'd made the conscious decision, more than a decade earlier, to make health and fitness a goal for his retirement years. Augie ran his first marathon two days after turning 70, and ended up running twenty-nine marathons by his eightieth birthday; including running in the Boston Marathon three times. It was during that time that he also started researching nutrition in earnest, and started following Dr. Fuhrman's recommendations as outlined in Eat to Live. Just two weeks ago, at the age of 82, Augie finished his first 50K run (31 miles) in Florida! Welcome to Disease Proof, Augie.
Tell us about your recent 50K.
The 50K was a heat endurance event, because it was a sunny, 83 degree day in Florida. The aid stations were about 4 to 5 miles apart, and I drank a bottle of water between each one. By the 9.5 mile mark I was feeling the beginning symptoms of heat exhaustion so I put six ice cubes in a zip lock bag and placed it on top of my head; holding it in place with my cap. I refilled these ice bags at each station.
I was doing a 1:1 run/walk pace pretty much all the way to the 26 mile aid station, the marathon distance. (Strangely, at this point I felt like I was at mile 20 of a marathon.) From there I went to 30-40 second running surges interspersed with 90 second walks to the finish line. My time was 7:33:22; and there were only 59 of us at the start.
Now I can say that I've completed a total of 40 marathons and beyond, (eleven marathons since age 80); plus, twenty-two, half marathons and many 5K's to 20K's. Hopefully I'll still be in good condition to run a 50K again next year.
Do most know your age at these events?
Ha, that question makes me chuckle. The 70+ age division runners are very competitive. Many times, before, and even during a race, a runner will come up along side me and ask my age. When I tell them, they are relieved, because I'm not in their age group for awards. Most times I'm 1st place out of one entrant in the 80+ age group.
How far do you run/walk daily to train?
My goal is to average 18 miles per week, and I've done this for the past twelve years. I run no more than 3 to 4 days per week, because longer distances provide better training than frequent, shorter ones; plus, rest days are just as important as running days.
Tell us about your nutritarian journey.
My dad died at age 84 from colon cancer, and I watched him slowly fade away for two years. He was a heavy steak and potato eater, and I was following the same path. I knew that eating beef was his problem, although I didn't do anything to change my own eating habits for several more years. However, it planted the seed to change, because deep within I knew there was a better way. It wasn't until I retired that I decided to make health and fitness, instead of golf, my retirement hobby. I researched several books before discovering Eat to Live seven years ago, and I was convinced that it was the best of the best. I've read it at least ten times since.
I'm 5' 6.5", and my weight at age 70 was 166 lbs. (I've never had any health issues or taken any medications.) I dropped to 150 lbs by age 75; and then after I started following Eat to Live, I lost another ten pounds over a two year period of time. Today, at age 82, I've maintained 140 lbs for the past five years.
In the beginning I had severe withdrawal symptoms from comfort foods and salt, and that detox time was like going through boot camp. However, the discomfort was short lived, and now I'm thoroughly enjoying my 80's. My priorities, as always, are family, travel and fitness. (This coming June I will celebrate 56 years of marriage to my dear wife, Josie.) I hope you all don't mind me tooting my own horn, but I think Eat to Live has been a big part in being able to do what I've done. It's never too late to start eating for health!
What do you eat the day before and the day of a race?
In my early marathons I was brainwashed into needing a pasta dinner the day before. As the years went by, and now with the experience of 40 marathons and beyond, I find that my normal meals are sufficient; although I eat a larger portion, eat earlier, and go to bed earlier the evening before. For me, the breakfast that morning is far more important and lasting into the marathon: a bowl of rolled oats that soaked overnight in pomegranate juice with a handful of frozen blueberries and a banana. It's very filling and lasting.
During a marathon I've experimented with everything. I've finally settled on Medjool dates, pitted and individually wrapped in wax paper. I wear a fanny pack with a water bottle holder, my supply of dates, a cell phone, napkins, and band aids for emergencies. I've found 8 to 10 dates to be plenty, and I drink plenty of water.
What are your success tips for nutritarian eating?
To be successful, you must have a deep passion, reason or goal to be healthy; and a firm belief that you will see results to get through the initial detox stage. If you follow Eat to Live, you'll be guaranteed to see results. Today, to maintain the nutritarian eating-style, I continually remind myself, "I don't want the health problems that my friends have who eat the standard American diet."
What advice do you have to become more physically active?
When I started running I had no idea where it would lead; I only knew that aerobic training was necessary. I started running at age 68 and gradually worked up to running three miles at a time. I had a dream goal to run a marathon to celebrate my 70th birthday. (I've read that we are all capable of achieving seemingly unattainable goals.) When I achieved that goal, and experienced the thrill of accomplishing something that I didn't think I could do, it moved me to set other goals.
Find a passion.
Set a dream goal that stretches your limits.
Push and challenge yourself to successfully achieve that goal.
Go for it!
Thank you Augie for setting a high standard of "senior achievement" for all of us to aspire to ~ what a great inspiration you are for our retirement years ahead!

Authorities at the University of Arkansas are investigating after a 19-year-old fraternity pledge was hospitalized with possible alcohol poisoning.
On Saturday, the male student was admitted to Washington Regional Medical Center with possible alcohol poisoning. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports (http://is.gd/I2v3SB ) that the teen had received a bid that morning to become a pledge at UA's Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.
Lt. Gary Crain, a spokesman with UA's police department, says authorities are investigating and will turn over findings to prosecutors.
Crain says a member of the fraternity drove the student to the hospital, which later informed UA police about the incident.
Brian C. Warren Jr., the national executive director of Sigma Phi Epsilon, says the chapter has suspended all operations pending the outcome of the investigation.

From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 03:48, 11 September 2010 by Paperworktemple (talk | contribs)
- For the voice actor of the same name, see Wilhelm Lewis.
Wilhelm is a random character in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars who employs the games protagonist, Huang Lee, on two occasions. The first time he has Huang Lee drive him to City Hall to buy more property, paying $250, and has him do the same again, for $500. Wilhelm later meets Lee again, on a bridge, and explains that the banks have foreclosed on all his purchased property and that he dropped his keys in the river. Wilhelm commits suicide by jumping into the river, despite efforts from Lee to stop him doing so. Lee, however, finds his keys on the pavement and takes his house as his own.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Small Fruits & Berries
Blueberry Prescription
by Lee Reich
Talk about an easy fruit! Backyard blueberries have few -- often no -- insect or disease problems. The bushes are easy to prune. No need to harvest crawling on your knees (as with strawberries) or fighting thorns (as with brambles). And no need to replant (ever), because a blueberry bush will live 50, maybe 100 or more, years.
Best of all is the flavor; fully ripened blueberries have sweetness and aroma that store-bought blueberries cannot match. Backyard blueberries can hang on the bushes for a few days after they first turn blue, and this allows time for their flavor to really soar.
Okay, blueberries are easy, but success with this fruit still requires attention to three details: variety, soil, and birds.
In contrast to most fruits that you find in the market, the blueberry is a native shrub, growing wild along the East coast, in parts of the Upper Midwest, and in the Pacific Northwest. The blueberry is also a market upstart, with breeding and the first commercial plantings initiated only in the early part of the twentieth century. To their credit breeders have created varieties adapted beyond their native ranges, so that nowadays you can grow blueberries just about anywhere in the United States and many parts of Canada.
Kinds of Blueberries
Blueberries are partially self-fertile, which means they bear some fruit without cross-pollination. But when at least two different varieties grow near each other, yield is higher and fruits are larger. Planting more than one variety can also stretch out the harvest season for several weeks. Before narrowing your choices to specific varieties, choose which type or types of blueberries are best suited to your climate.
Lowbush. The most cold-hardy blueberries are lowbush types (Vaccinium angustifolium, USDA Hardiness Zones 3 through 6), growing no more than about 8 to 18 inches high. Snowfall covering these low shrubs protects them from winter cold. Plants spread by underground runners to form a solid mat of plants which -- with their dainty, bell-like flowers in spring, and fiery red leaf color in fall -- make an attractive ground cover.
Native Americans enjoyed lowbush blueberries long before European settlers arrived. Although a few named varieties exist, nurseries mostly sell unnamed seedlings. Many commercial plantings consist of wild plants encouraged to grow in much the same way as the Native Americans grew them. Lowbush blueberry fruits typically are about 1/4 inch in diameter, very sweet, and covered with a powdery blue bloom.
Highbush. Most fresh-market blueberries are the highbush type (V. corymbosum), so named for the 6-foot-high plants on which they are borne. Northern and southern subtypes of highbush blueberries are available. Some popular northern varieties include 'Bluecrop', 'Blue Ray', and 'Earliblue', adapted for zones 4 through 7. Southern highbush types do best in zones 7 through 10 and include varieties such as 'Gulf Coast', 'Misty', 'O'Neal', and 'Reveille'. 'Sharpblue' can grow in zones 7 through 11. Compared to lowbush berries, the fruits are large: 1/2 to 1 inch in diameter.
Rabbiteye. These blueberries (V. ashei) are native to the Southeast and so are heat-tolerant (zones 7, 8, and 9). The bushes grow 10 or more feet tall, and the 1/2- to 1-inch fruits have a thick skin that helps them hang well on the bush, even in the heat, to develop full flavor. For good cross-pollination, plant two or more varieties with bloom seasons that coincide; 'Beckyblue' and 'Bonitablue', or 'Powderblue' and 'Tifblue', for example.
Half-high. In recent years, some of the best qualities of both highbush and lowbush blueberries have been combined into what are known as half-high blueberries. These varieties have size and flavor qualities that are between those of their parents, and generally do not spread by runners. Half-high varieties such as 'Chippewa', 'Northblue', and 'Northland' are hardy into zone 3.

ZF-2821: Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Redirector makes redirection using relative HTTP path
Redirector helper makes relative redirect by default, despite the fact the HTTP specs forbid relative URLs in HTTP redirects. Redirects should be always to ubsolute URLs.
Please categorize/fix as needed.
Scheduling for next minor release.
I can give a shot at it if you like, Matthew.
I have moved url view helper logic to router, so setGotoRoute should also be changed at the same time.
The problem with fixing this issue is due to determining the server protocol, name, and port. The information in the $_SERVER superglobal is somewhat unreliable due to the fact that some keys vary from server to server, others are open to header injection, and others may be incorrect due to proxying. Additionally, if you are pregenerating content, having the various URL helpers set the fully qualified URL could have a negative impact as the incorrect protocol, server, and/or port could be selected during generation.
At best, this would have to be an opt-in behavior.
While I realize that the HTTP spec requires fully qualified URLs, I do not know of any clients that are unable to follow them; can the reporter please provide some background on a real-world technical need for this request?
Updated priorities; unsure how necessary this "fix" is.

Take to the boulders, but make sure you're throwing this outdoor playland a little love and follow these Earth-friendly tips.
1. Stay on designated roads.
Driving cross-country can cause serious damage to vegetation and leave unsightly tracks.
2. Don't litter.
Whatever you take into an area, bring it out with you. This includes camp fire ashes.
3. Be considerate.
Slow down when passing and avoid leaving a dust trail when passing cyclists and campgrounds. Leave gates as you found them, and don't trespass.
4. When using a tree or rock as an anchor, use a wide strap to avoid damage.

Mark Ronson is back, and this time more than ever he means business – The Business INTL, in fact. Record Collection is the third album headed up by the trans-Atlantic music mastermind and, as usual, he's brought a host of talented friends and mainstay collaborators along for the ride: Ghostface Killah, Q-Tip, MNDR, Boy George, D'Angelo, Nick Hodgson of the Kaiser Chiefs, Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon, The Zutons' Dave McCabe, Spank Rock, Elinor Dougall, Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters, Cathy Dennis, Miike Snow frontman Andrew Wyatt, and more.
By now, half the globe is already familiar with the lead-in single "Bang Bang Bang," a 3am Cote d'Azur disco beat featuring Q-Tip and MNDR that takes the French nursery rhyme "Alouette" and turns it into a Jean Michel Jarre meets NYC hip-pop sing-along. 2010 just got a lot more fun.

Pre-Physician Assistant
Department website: prepa.slu.edu
Department contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Degrees: Vary by chosen academic discipline
Special programs: Pre-PA Scholars PAthway
Physician Assistants (PAs) are health professionals who practice medicine as members of a team with their supervising physician. They are nationally certified and licensed by individual states and bring a breadth of knowledge and skills to patient care. As healthcare providers, PAs deliver a broad range of medical and surgical services to diverse populations in rural, urban and suburban settings. The primary mission of the Saint Louis University Physician Assistant Program is to educate men and women to become competent, compassionate Physician Assistants dedicated to excellence in healthcare and the service of humanity.
At Saint Louis University, the Physician Assistant program is distinguished by a number of factors. The program is among the first 12 in the country and has maintained a tradition of academic excellence and earned a national reputation as a solid leader in physician assistant education. Part of the SLU Medical Center, which includes the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, the School of Public Health and the Doisy College of Health Sciences, the Physician Assistant program exposes students to the vast range of disciplines and skills involved in modern health care.
SLU's Pre-PA Scholars PAthway (PPSP) makes it possible for a select number of outstanding SLU undergraduate students, who maintain exemplary academic records, to be guaranteed a position in SLU's graduate PA program.
Pre-PA Scholars PAthway students follow a prescribed curriculum provided by the undergraduate degree-sponsoring department. Regardless of the degree selected, Pre-PA Scholars must also complete specific pre-requisite coursework at Saint Louis University. The PPSP allows the student seeking a career as a physician assistant to gain valuable health care credentials, competence and expertise prior to entrance into the post-baccalaureate Physician Assistant Program.
The post-baccalaureate PA Program offers a full-time 27 month (seven-semester) didactic and clinical curriculum which culminates in conferral of the Master of Medical Science (M.M.S.) degree and eligibility to sit for the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE).
Careers in the Field:
The role of the physician assistant varies depending on the specialty of the physician. Approximately 87 percent of the graduates of the Saint Louis University Physician Assistant Program are active in practice as physician assistants in primary care practices such as family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine, pediatrics, surgery and women's health. Physician assistants can be found performing physical exams, diagnosing and treating illnesses, ordering and interpreting tests, counseling patients on preventive health care, assisting in surgery, and in most states writing prescriptions. Among those Saint Louis University Physician Assistant Program alumni who are not in active clinical practice as physician assistants are administrators, educators, physicians, attorneys, pharmaceutical representatives and members of other health related occupations.
About the Faculty:
The core faculty of the Department of Physician Assistant Education offers a breadth of background and experience in health care and education. In addition, over 150 area physicians, PAs and other health professionals teach in the department, along with science faculty from within the University.

Oslo Photo Festival: On Photojournalism and Survival
The 5th annual Oslo Photo Festival, which took place from March 16 to 20 in Norway's capital, hosted talks by photojournalists and documentary photographers Carolyn Drake, Stephanie Sinclair, Pieter Ten Hoopen, Thomas Lekfeldt, Andrea Star Reese, Justyna Mielnikiewicz and Eugene Richards. Speakers offered insights into how they win the trust of subjects, what it takes to develop a strong personal project, and advice on surviving under difficult conditions and in an increasingly demanding profession.
Many photographers and photo students who attended sought advice on what it takes to be a successful photojournalist. Others, like festival attendee Chris Harrison, came to meet colleagues from the Norwegian photo community. "We all live in our own little worlds most of the time so it's good to get out socially and chew the fat," Harrison said. "All in all it's kind of like getting a vitamin shot—going to these things you realize you aren't alone and in some ways you're quite privileged and its good to be reminded how fantastic photography is."
Here are notes from some of the Festival's presentations.

Packs The Moisture Into Dry EndsLike other reviewers, I am glad to see I can buy curlers here. I have had a total of three units over the course of 18 years. Only one gave out within a year. The other two were long lasting and reliable - heating up steam in a matter of seconds. The delivery of moist heat instead of searing metal on my hair is the selling point for me. I often straighten my hair now that there are great appliances for that, but when I feel my hair needs a break, I will at least curl then end only with Caruso. Then I dont feel like I need a hair trim on my frazzled ends, they smooth out and lay all together after I take out the curlers. I did try my set on other peoples hair and only one pin-straight-haired friend was not happy with the fading of the curls. However for the first few hours they held without hairspray. The best feature of this system is how kind it is to the hair - allowing you to grow your hair longer by treating it with moisture with the side benefit of long lasting waves or curls.Jul 7, 2009Margaret / Nevada

Will Never Use A Different Product Again - Ever!I first tried the Caruso Hair setter in 1995 and since then I have owned 6 units. My sister had received one at the same time I got my first one. It was perfect when I would go visit her (out of state), I never had to pack my unit. I used hers. Later on she gave me hers (she never was into curling her hair). That started a new trend for me. I own two at a time always. One is for travel, so I dont have to pack my daily one and its also a back up when the older model became worn out from day to day daily use. I had one that malfunctioned and the manufacturer replaced it immediately at no cost to me. I was amazed. Up until this past Christmas I hadnt had to purchase one. They last and I use mine every single. I have long hair and wear it with body and not too curly. For years I searched and spent money on different units and since I found the Caruso my search has been over, I have never even considered using a different product. Fear kicked in once when I thought they stopped making the product and then I found it in the beauty supply stores. The manufacturers customer service is also fantastic. Thank you,,,"Helen of Troy". PS my daughter is leaving for college soon and has always worn her hair straight and recently started using my hair setter (glad I have 2) so I will be purchasing her own set when she goes off to college.Mar 10, 2009Marie Kinney / Corona, Ca 92879

It Works The Best!I have been using caruso rollers for years, my hair just wouldnt curl with a curling iron and it took me too long to wash, set and dry my hair under a dryer. When I discovered Caruso rollers, I can wash, dry, set and style my hair within minutes. I enjoy trying new styles with using the different size rollers and placement in hair.

UMass Athletics Announces Major Gift In Conjunction With UMass Rising Campaign
June 6, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - With just under a month to go before the official close to the 2013 fiscal year, the University of Massachusetts Department of Athletics has surpassed the 2012 fundraising mark with one of the most successful campaigns in recent years. Following the public launch of the UMass Rising campaign and the groundbreaking of the Champions Center for basketball and the Football Performance Center in late April, excitement surrounding UMass Athletics has generated a total of $4.28 million raised compared to the $3.2 million last year.
A major gift by UMass alumnus Ed Ward will help ensure the future growth and success of UMass Athletics. Ward, a long-time and staunch supporter of the University, has made a $2.25 million commitment to the Athletics Department.
"I received a great education from the University and really enjoyed my time there as I worked on my degrees. I feel I owe a lot to the University and that was the main reason for me doing this," said Ward who is a member of the Athletics Council and a board member of the Court Club. "I grew up loving sports and I believe that athletics are important for the University; that being well-known in athletics helps with the process of being well-known academically."
Ward hopes his gift will help inspire others to support the University and athletics.
"If we want to succeed in athletics, it is imperative that our alumni and friends step up to support the programs by making financial gifts. My hope with this gift is that other alumni will say, `If Ed Ward is doing this, then why can't I make a gift as well' to really help the department."
"We deeply appreciate the generosity and commitment Ed has made to the success of UMass," said Director of Athletics John McCutcheon. "Anyone familiar with the Athletics Department knows that no one has been more supportive over the years than Ed and a gift of this nature coming from him is particularly special."
In addition to individual alumni support, UMass' fundraising efforts have been successful thanks to participation in The Minuteman Club which now boasts over 2,600 members.
"We're very pleased with the progress that is being made by The Minutemen Club," said McCutcheon. "Of course we think there are great opportunities in the future. We will continue to grow our support and efforts to provide resources to our coaches and student-athletes. We hope our many supporters are excited and looking forward to seeing the many initiatives we've put in place for UMass Athletics -- and that they'll join us as we move forward."
Launched during the University's sesquicentennial anniversary, the UMass Rising campaign was officially announced in April. The five main goals of the $300 million Campaign are to help attract outstanding students, support exceptional faculty, encourage research & public service programs, improve buildings & infrastructure and bolster participation in annual giving. For its part of the Campaign, the Athletics Department has already raised $18.4 million towards its goal of $33 million (56 percent).
The UMass Athletics Department invites you to become part of the Minutemen Club and help us continue to make history. To learn more, visit www.TheMinutemenClub.com or call 413-545-4290.
Membership in The Minutemen Club starts at only $25 annually with most membership levels qualifying for multiple benefits such as game day parking, preferred seating and eligibility for post-season tickets.

This works like a charm, except when i go to the website for the first time (starting a new session). The session cookie is set, however it seems that the 'Zend_Form_Element_Hash_salt_no_csrf_hash' key is not yet registered.
Results the first time in: array(0) {}
After a reload (F5) it is properly filled with: array(1) { ["__ZF"] => &array(1) { ["Zend_Form_Element_Hash_salt_no_csrf_hash"] => array(1) { ["ENT"] => int(1228748259) } } }
I've tried with and without the strict-option when starting the session in the bootstrap, both to no avail. Could it be a bug?
Thanks in advance, Fili
I have the same problem in my login form that is the very first page of site.
I examined this issue and noticed that in the first page load, when there isn't existing sessions, the value of hash is null. After reloading the page the hash is set correctly. I overcame the problem by editing the render method of the hash element class and call initCsrfToken() twice. This seemed to fix the problem, although in nasty way. But I hope this might help to localize what's the real problem.
public function render(Zend_View_Interface $view = null)
--> $this->initCsrfToken();
return parent::render($view);
The solution above doesn't work any more in 1.9.6. It did work in 1.9.5.
I think other issues with the hash element were fixed around the 1.9.6 time, can you check that the expected usage works (as opposed to the hack)?
Ralph, I do not have a clue what is happening with the hash. It is working and then suddenly not working. Even one of my clients run into this problem, and at the same time the form was working for me. You can check my recent experience from ZF-10714.
I think you can close this issue and we can keep the most recent one.
Does this problem still persist? If so, is it with the framework or the browser? A lot of these wishy-washy Zend_Session-related bugs appear to be falling into the "concurrent requests returning 404 errors cause competing sessions to be initiated" issue (primarily with Google Chrome)
Adam–I have seen this happening in firefox too and also in chrome with correctly placed favicon, but that was a year ago. Since then I decided not to use csrf or at least avoid using it. Atm. I do not have zf1 projects going on so it's hard to say if this still persist or not.

Retired physician turned photography artist, Sherman Bloom, showed off his work at The Gallery in the Main Library at an opening reception on Jan. 22.
It's is nothing short of a new twist in fine art photography. Describing his work as an exploration of high art principles such as composition and texture, the gallery, Rocks and Flowers, reflects an interest in natural geologic features such as mountains and deserts, but also in orchids. Relying on a duality between the two aspects of his show, the mountains reflect the conventional black and white that is common to high-art photography.
If you need a break from all the Sundance madness, the gallery (through March) is a chance to just sink into some artwork exploring nature.
While his orchid photographs rely on color, sometimes they're artificially saturated with up close views forcing the viewers to create their own interpretation to fully appreciate the work.
Sherman Bloom's photography is on view at the City Library, 210 E 400 South, SLC, through March 4. Click Here for more information.

Self-consciously rebellious and defiant, punk rock emerged in the 1970s as a subculture that rejected what it saw as the overblown and outdated mythology of rock and roll history dominated by male performers. This new punk attitude opened doors for women to actively engage rock and roll culture in fresh and exciting ways. From Patti Smith to Bikini Kill, Siouxie Sioux to L7, female musicians claimed punk as their own into the 1980s and 1990s and created music that challenged listeners to listen in a new way, to challenge long held beliefs and to redefine the position of women in society.
This event is free and reservations are not required. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Written by a lawyer and an economist,Governing Fortunesummarizes the legal framework supporting the gaming industry and reviews the costs and benefits of casinos by showing how tax base and job growth vary widely with site-specific factors. The book sets forth an innovative proposal for the licensing of gamblers as a means to balance the liberty interests of individuals against the social costs generated from problem gambling behavior.

I have never seen that particular card but I believe there are Cedar Rapids Silver Bullet cards for BS

Cone Health Cancer Center has been offering nationally accredited clinical trials since its beginnings. Assisting the medical community in finding breakthroughs in treatment options is a focus at Cone Health.
Taking part in a clinical trial can be a difficult decision to make. It's important to understand all of the options available before making that decision. The choice to participate is a joint decision between you, those close to you and your medical team. It's important to realize that a clinical trial has benefits and possible drawbacks as well.
Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. These studies test new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose or treat diseases. People who take part in cancer clinical trials help researchers learn more about cancer and develop improved treatments. The treatments that patients receive today are based on the results of past clinical trials.
Our clinical trials are sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), as well as private industry. With an average of 40 trials open at any one time, our patients may enroll in national trials in the Greensboro area rather than traveling to cancer centers in other parts of the state or the country.
All clinical trials are reviewed by the sponsors before Cone Health accepts the trial to ensure the highest standards. There are two additional levels of review which includes review by the Cancer Center physicians and an Institutional Review Board (IRB) – either an internal or external IRB review. Our focus is to ensure each trial is ethical and safe to perform. All trial protocols must receive IRB approval before patient enrollment.
During the clinical trial, the regular medical team and a member of the Cone Health Cancer Center research team assists the patient. A research nurse is assigned to each patient to guide them through the clinical trial. This expert monitors the progress of the patient during their enrollment and even continues to monitor the patient after the trial ends.
For additional information, please call (336) 832-0821.
There are many additional resources for you to learn more about clinical trials at the Cancer Center.
For information specific to trials conducted at the Cone Health Cancer Center, please contact our Oncology Clinical Trials Department at (336) 832-0821 or speak directly with your Cone Health Oncologist.
The following websites also offer valuable information about the benefits of clinical trials:
We are a founding member of a Southeast Clinical Oncology Research Consortium initiative to match community physicians with academic researchers working on national clinical trials. This affiliation helps us expand the opportunities we offer you.

Play Slideshow >>
Coming together
This schoolhouse is one of the buildings featured in the Brushy Creek Village life skills area, where children can learn life skills such as grocery shopping and pumping gas.
Round Rock Parks and Recreation Department
Local businesses sponsored buildings in the Village life skills section of the park.
Designed to teach life skills to children with physical, sensory, cognitive, and developmental disabilities, Play for All Abilities Park includes retreat, sensory, and rock band pods as well as replicas of local businesses.
The park includes swings that can be used by individuals that require the use of a wheelchair.
A mock firehouse is one of many buildings children can explore to learn life skills.
Fittingly, there is also a library building at the park where kids can learn different skills.
The park includes the same apparatuses as any park, but altered so that people of all physical and mental abilities can enjoy them.
The Play for All Abilities Park is 51,000 square feet of outdoor fun for children of all abilities.
Just another sunny Texas afternoon enjoyed at the Play for All Abilities park.
Children can enjoy some of the parks unique features while using creativity and imagination.
Children of all abilities can take advantage of play structures.
Kids of all mental and physical abilities get to interact and socialize together.
The park welcomes not only all abilities, but all ages too!
The park is a space for citizens from Round Rock and the surrounding area to socialize with each other.
Dennis Seymore sits in front of a section of the park that bears his name.
The City of Round Rock, Texas, Parks and Recreation Department takes its mission — "creating a positive and memorable experience in people's lives"— so seriously that it's created dedicated spaces for both dogs and skateboarders. It was six years in the making, but the department's latest project serves yet another constituency: disabled children and their families.
The idea came from residents who suggested applying for a grant from Boundless Playgrounds, a non profit that's developed 200 "truly inclusive playgrounds" throughout North America since 1997. (The City of Fort Wayne, Ind. and Town of Manchester, Conn., have boundless playgrounds). The money didn't come through. Then another resident asked about getting adaptive swings for children with autism.
That prompted the award-winning department to raise the necessary $1.3 million locally. The city kicked in $600,000; the rest came from sponsorships and donations. Parks Development Manager David Buzzell says the 51,000-square-foot space benefits the community through its sheer popularity. Between 400 and 500 people use the park every day from 6 a.m. to midnight.
One of the in-kind contributors won the Experts' Choice Award at World of Concrete 2013's Crews That Rock Competition. Chasco Constructors donated all labor and materials for the concrete, earthwork, and underground utilities.

Obama fails to lead
Published: Tuesday, October 1, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 30, 2013 at 2:52 p.m.
Editor: (President) Obama threatened to attack Syria's President (Bashar) Assad. Obama states Assad used chemical weapons and killed hundreds of Syria's children. Thousands of children are killed daily by abortion with Obama's support. Obama supports late-term abortion also. Which is the worst?
Obama told the world his attack plans upon Syria. Are these actions of a smart person or a comic relief? Obama shows concern over the use of chemical weapons but does nothing to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons. Assad's a dictator, and the rebels are terrorists. Both call Allah their god. They'll both come together to take out other nations they hate more than each other. Iran doesn't care which side wins. Let Syria call upon Allah to answer their problems.
Why should America take down Assad so terrorists can take over Syria? Obama did this in Egypt. (Mohamed) Morsi became their president with Muslim Brotherhood terrorists. Egypt is now in conflict because of Obama's actions. Obama took out Libya's dictator (Muammar) Gaddafi and terrorists took over Libya. We still don't know what happened in Benghazi, but Obama and Hillary Clinton blamed it on a video. Obama was against attacking Iran when America's troops surrounded Iran in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now Iran funds all these wars in each nation. The winners are still followers of Iran's wishes. Only dictators stand in Iran's way as being the leader of the Middle East, because dictators control the actions of their nation.
Will it be better for Syria to have a dictator or be controlled by terrorists like al-Qaida? Obama showed no concern for the death and genocide of thousands in other nations. Was Obama's claim to attack Syria just to save face? Many nations laugh at America today. Obama cuts America's defenses but supplies weapons unto other nations. Many congressmen want Syria's rebels and terrorists given American weapons but demand that our right to bear arms be taken away. Iran promised to attack Israel if Syria's attacked.
Obama made a peace plan with Russia that if they take all of Syria's chemical weapons out by mid 2014, there'll be no attack. Obama drew this red line. Will Obama blame this red line on others and put boots on the ground of Syria to check if all Syria's chemical weapons are gone? America must come first. Is Obama a leader or follower of other nations' demands? America's falling in respect, because nations see they can do anything with Obama in office.

Come on, admit it. You've sneaked a peek at the bottom of some woman's shoe, checking for that telltale red sole that shows it's a Louboutin.
Only she might have taken a $19.95 pump and painted it to look as if it cost her $500.
Yep, Today reports women are using paint, stickers and even nail polish to make their affordable heels look pricey. The red-sole look started as Christian Louboutin's signature, but, according to the news show, other designers, including Chloe Green—whose Topshop line shows off light-green soles—are following suit.
Don't really care about the designer cachet but like the idea of making your sole your own? Check out the sole stickers from Rosso Solini. Today notes the accessories brand offers red stickers but also animal patterns, glitter and many colors (blue being particularly popular for brides).
"Personalization is becoming more and more prevalent, and in fashion in particular," NPD Group retail analyst Marshal Cohen tells the news show. "People used to be able to splurge, but with today's economy, consumers are saying, 'Forget that; I will just paint my soles red.' In addition, people don't necessarily want to look like everyone else. This trend toward customizing soles isn't just about looking impressive but about the ability to make something unique."
Sole stickers for the stylish soul? Sounds like a hit to us.

ZF-5783: Undefined offset in Zend_Gdata_GdataOnlineTest::testFeedImplementation
When running Zend_Gdata_GdataOnlineTest, the following unit test failure occurs:
testFeedImplementation(Zend_Gdata_GdataOnlineTest) Undefined offset: 3 .../library/Zend/Gdata/App/Feed.php:153 .../library/Zend/Gdata/App/Feed.php:153
This is caused because testFeedImplementation() isn't calling rewind() before calling current(), and the changes made for protocol v2 support added a foreach() statement (which calls rewind() at the start of execution, not after).
The fix is to call rewind() inside of testFeedImplementation().
Assigning to [~jhartmann], since he already has code to fix this. :)
Fixed in r14177 and merged to 1-7 in r14178.

The brilliant thing about the DS-1 is that you can cinch it in a Park Tool workstand clamp for weighing things like wheels or frames. And it comes with a loop to hang higher when you weigh your bike.
A silicone-coated hook protects your frame's finish and prevents it from sliding. For small parts you can hang a tray or a bag on the hook and re-zero it to tare the weight. It's built with a rugged, shock-resistant rubber housing to endure the typical abuse of a bike workshop. Batteries are included, and it comes with a 1 year warranty.
- Silicon coated hanger prevents damage to finishes
- Measures and displays kilograms to .02 kg (.02 kg = 20 grams)

Nice Scale
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I purchased this after many of years relying on the bike shop to do my dirty work for me. That wasn't convenient so I purchased this and now have torn almost every bike down to weigh each component. Now I need the other scale for the smaller parts that just aren't easy to weigh with the hooks. Love having it however because now I do know the exact weight of each bike.
Accurate when set-up correctly...
...which is difficult to do. Getting the two hooks under the top tube of an XC or road bike is one thing, but can be difficult with a bigger bike. Play around and you'll usually find a spot. Lower shaft fits perfectly in a Park repair stand.

Three arrested in Wilmington shootings
Published: Monday, May 6, 2013 at 4:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 6, 2013 at 4:58 p.m.
A team of federal, state and local authorities arrested three men over the weekend who have been linked to two separate but possibly related shootings in Wilmington last month, police said Monday.
Miguel Crews, 24, Deandre Sha'he Watkins, 17, and Myran Rashaad Holt, 22, all of Wilmington, were arrested Saturday by the U.S. Marshals Eastern North Carolina Violent Fugitive Task Force, which includes Wilmington police and state probation officers.
Crews and Watkins were charged with opening fire on several people standing on a porch at 207 Greendale Drive on the evening of April 28. At least one victim was hospitalized as a result of that shooting.
Holt is accused of firing birdshot at a group outside a house at 432 Clay St. on April 26. Three people were injured, including man hit in the chest.
Detective Kevin Smith said police believe Holt also was involved in the Greendale Drive shooting, though he did not go into detail.

Part seven of a 12-day series profiling each member of the 2012 Colorado Athletic Hall of Fame, leading up to the induction ceremonies on Thursday, Nov. 15. Today's profile is on Steve Jones, All-America golfer and U.S. Open Champion. Click here for more information and to register for the 2012 induction ceremony.
Resiliency is a term Steve Jones is no stranger to. He has overcome numerous challenges in his life to solidify himself a successful career in professional golf.
In 1991, Jones was involved in a serious motorbike accident that kept him out of golf for nearly three years. He has also suffered serious elbow injuries and had elbow surgeries in 2003, 2008, and 2009.� Although these kept him out of golf for extended periods of time, his toughness and passion have helped him to overcome these obstacles.
Jones has made an astonishing impact on the CU golf program and he prepares to join an elite group of athletes when he is inducted into the University of Colorado Athletic Hall of Fame this week.
|Steve Jones was a four-time All-Big Eight pick.
Jones attended CU from 1977-81, where he set numerous career records for the golf program.� He had high expectations being the first recruit for legendary golf coach Mark Simpson.� He more than fulfilled the expectations, as he is still the only four-time first team all-conference performer in golf (four top 10 finishes at the conference championship event) and one of only a select few in all sports at CU.�
Although he was impressive his first three seasons with the team, his 1981 senior season was his most prolific year, when he was a second team All-American.� �That season he totaled nine top-10 finishes and 10 top 20 efforts, which are both school records.�
Jones accumulated 19 top 10 finishes and 26 top 20 finishes, which were both CU records at the time.� Among his other accomplishments, he is still the only player in CU's records to lead the golf team in stroke average for four consecutive seasons.
"It was a great experience to play golf under Mark Simpson, we had a really good team and we played a good schedule, exactly like the football team does," Jones said. "It was great to always play the best because you could find out just how good you were or what you needed to do to compete with the best."
His innate drive for competition helped improve himself as a player, a skill he could use at the next level.
Jones became a professional golfer after graduating from CU in 1981.� He played in the PGA Tour with minimal success until his first top 10 finish at the Texas Open in 1985.� Three years later, he won on the PGA Tour for the first time at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.� The following year he won three PGA tour events and finished eighth in earnings, his most victorious year.�
Then his professional golf career took a scary turn when a motorbike accident occurred and sidelined him from golf competition for nearly three years while he recovered from ligament and joint damage in his left index finger.� He healed from his injury and began his comeback on the courses in 1995 finishing in the top 10 in two events.� The following year would become the biggest year of his career.
Jones won the 1996 US Open, his only major championship and biggest accomplishment of his career.� When asked about winning it, Jones described how it changed his life.
"It changed my life in many ways.� Recognition, obviously.� Accomplishment, my personal goal of wanting to win the U.S. Open since my childhood playing in Yuma, doing what all kids do, saying 'This putt is to win the US Open.' It changed things financially, having exemptions for several years into many tournaments.� But to hear your name on the first tee, 1996 U.S. Open Champion, that's nice."�
This was an impressive feat as he was the first sectional qualifier to win the U.S. Open in 20 years.�
His success at the U.S. Open led to an invitation to play with Tom Lehman for the U.S. National team in the 1996 World Cup of Golf.� He helped the U.S. to finish in second place losing to Ernie Els and Wayne Westner of South Africa.�
The following year, Jones won the Phoenix Open.� His 11-shot victory was highlighted by scoring the third lowest 72-hole score in PGA history at the time. He won three more events after Phoenix, two in 1997 and another in 1998.
Tennis elbow surgeries limited his appearances from 2003-11. He made his long-awaited return at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf tournament on the Champions Tour and teamed with Doug Tewell to tie for 10th place in their division. He also played in the Bob Hope Classic on the PGA Tour that same year.
Jones now resides in Arizona and has started the Steve Jones Golf Academy at the Rave Golf Club in Phoenix and also runs his website, stevejonesgolf.com.� He also had his own weekly radio show, "On the Tee", on 1060 AM The Fan in Phoenix started in 2009.�
After playing on the tour for over 20 years, Jones recalls, "I think the camaraderie has been great.� You get to meet so many different guys on the Tour, it's like a big family out there.� I have a big family on the Tour, like I have big families and friends back home in Colorado, and in Arizona.� The friendships out there last forever."�
Jones is one of the all time CU great athletes and has made a significant impact on the program from his 1977-1981 CU career.� His talent, passion, and resiliency in golf will be honored when he is inducted into the CU Athletic Hall of Fame.

Losing weight can dramatically improve your emotional and physical health, but it's often a slow process. Millions of American adults use dietary supplements to lose weight, choosing a range of products that claim to decrease appetite, block fat absorption or increase metabolism. But with hundreds of products on the market, how do you determine which one to choose?
Here are some myths and facts about weight loss and weight-loss supplements that may help you cut through the clutter:
Fiction: You can lose weight fast ... and keep it off.
Fact: It takes time to lose weight safely, and keep it off. Losing a pound or two per week is actually an excellent rate of weight loss. If you lose any more than that, then it is very likely that the weight loss will not be permanent -- it will come right back. Rapid weight loss is not healthy -- it often means you are losing water and lean muscle mass, not the desired fat mass. Intense weight loss of more than three pounds per week over several consecutive weeks can be damaging to your organs and cause health problems.
Be cautious about promises of quick results, such as "lose 10 pounds in one week" or "this celebrity sprinkled her way to weight loss." If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Look for overblown claims on the label, such as "miracle fat burner" or "miracle cure." If you're unsure about a product, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Or, research the supplement manufacturer to see if they have conducted studies to support the claims they are making. If you are not making lifestyle changes as well, your weight loss is less likely to be maintained.
Fiction: You have to overhaul your diet and give up your favorite foods.
Fact: You don't have to overhaul your diet. In fact, studies have shown that making significant changes in your diet does not work over time. It is very hard to stick to diets, especially fad diets. Instead, simple changes work, including portion control (eating less) and moderate exercise. If you eat fast food, don't supersize.
Fiction: All weight-loss supplements are the same.
Fact: There are no magic pills, but there are a few (very few) good ones. Many weight loss supplements and products on the market have no scientific backing and just rely on hype. When choosing a weight loss supplement, look to see if there are scientific studies behind it and whether they have been published in a scientific journal. Look for products that base their claims on clinical evidence for the formulation they are selling. For example, there is limited, if any, clinical evidence to support many of the most popular weight loss ingredients, such as green coffee, raspberry ketones or HCG.
Also, be wary of side effects. Many supplements on the market contain stimulants. Avoid products with excessive levels of caffeine, which can cause increased heart rate and elevated blood pressure. Others cause gastrointestinal problems because they block the fat from entering your body. Check the label: If a supplement does not identify its ingredients or calls them a "secret formulation," steer clear of that supplement.

As I'm always on the prowl for new flavors and types of candy, so I get pretty thrilled when I find something new to try. I found this Schmerling's Swss Chocolate bar amongst other Kosher chocolate in the import section on one of my local grocery stores. What drew me to it immediately was the "Honey Moon" name, as it's flavored with honey and nougat bits. Neither of which I've had in a chocolate bar before.
Unwrapped, the bar is a nice medium brown color like a respectable milk chocolate and the creaminess of the color shows a high milk content. The flecks of the nougat are visible all though-ought the bar, giving it a pretty spotted look. The break is surprisingly hard for a milk chocolate, which are normally soft and almost fudgy.
The flavor is surprising to say the least. There's no chocolate or dairy flavors at all. Instead you mainly taste the nougat, which has an almond/hazelnut flavor with just a touch of honey to it. The chocolate manifests itself as a throat burning sweetness that appeares in the finish and leaves a long aftertaste in the mouth. The texture is a little crunchy because of the nougat bits, which feel like nuts as they're a little crispy but have a "meaty" texture to them. The chocolate's texture is unremarkable; not grainy but not smooth either.
Overall, I was disappointed because this wasn't as "honey nougat-y chocolaty" tasting as I'd hoped. If I move past that it's ok tasting and delivers a mean sugar burn, so if I was even in need of something intense, this could do the trick.
Rating: Not Worth It

Celebrating My First Palm Sunday!
As I sat in the pew of St. Thomas Catholic Church in Hyde Park and anticipated all the glory of the celebration of Jesus Christ's entry into Jerusalem, I was excited! This Sunday before Easter marks the beginning of Holy Week. We started off as a community at the front of the church and blessed the palms and then entered the sanctuary to begin our Journey with Jesus Christ. There are other factors that make this first Palm Sunday for me special, not only has the church had a major change by electing a new Pope, Pope Francis but I am also in the middle of a new beginning. I have been going through the process of becoming Catholic since November of last year and my big exciting day is in the horizon, I will take my sacraments and become Catholic Easter eve at the Easter Vigil. To say that I am excited is an understatement but to say I am ready to live the life of a Christian and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ would be accurate. In the reading of the Passion on Palm Sunday we sat intensely and as one and heard of Christ triumph entrance into Jerusalem, in which his supporters greeted him as the coming messiah, the last supper with his disciples and hours after when he was betrayed by Judas and arrested on Holy Thursday, the crucifixion of Christ came on Good Friday and the resurrection on Easter Sunday. After the reading the pastor gave his homely and he asked that we reflect on Jesus and his death on the cross. I decided to take the symbolic approach to this reading for myself. I look at Jesus on the cross and his suffering for the life that he gave all of us. The cross represents the call to absolute surrender, in my journey that I am on, I have surrendered my heart and soul to Jesus Christ. My heart is full at this time of excitement and the feeling of being part of a community and sharing this wonderful event in my life with loving and supportive friends from my CTU community and my personal life. Words cannot describe the joy and peacefulness that I am feeling, I have encountered some people here at CTU that are defiantly god's children and their light shines so brightly that I have opened up my heart to receive their offerings, their light, Jesus light.

text: Health Insurance Federal and state laws require that international students maintain adequate health insurance while attending school in the US. While many other countries bear the expense of health care for their residents, individuals in the United States are responsible for these expenses themselves. A single day of hospitalization can cost thousands of dollars. A good insurance policy gives you access to excellent medical facilities and provides protection against the enormous costs of health care. All international students studying on an F-1 visa are recommended to have health insurance either purchased through the health insurance program offered at Saint Mary's or provide documentation from another health insurance program. Make every effort to be insured during your entire stay in the U.S., including your summer semesters and after graduation if you stay for a period of Optional Practical Training or Academic Training. Students who may not need to purchase Saint Mary's health insurance are: Student funded by his or her government, or the U.S. government. Funding agencies include but are not limited to DAAD and Fulbright. Student receiving health insurance benefits provided by the U.S. employer of his or her parent, spouse or domestic partner.

This picture is a beautiful bag made by Tavia, (a blogworld friend) with my Bohemian Bag pattern, and some darling Heather Bailey Pop Garden fabric!
Isn't it adorable? Don't you wish you had one? She is a beginner at sewing, and yet she was able to accomplish this for her second project! She says that she read the instructions over and over till she felt she had a good understanding of what was involved, and it took her some practice to get the machine quilting down, using clear thread. But the end result was well worth it!
If any of you out there have a picture of something you have made using one of my patterns, I'd love to post about it here too! Just attach it to an email to me...
You go Tavia!!

The Juventus president realises that it has been a long time since a goalkeeper won the award, but feels the Italy star deserves recognition for his fine careerJuventus president Andrea Agnelli feels that Gianluigi Buffon deserves to win the Fifa Ballon d'Or before he retires as a reward for everything he has done for football.
Barcelona star Lionel Messi has won the previous four editions of the prestigious individual award, but club supremo hopes that the Italy international can bring the prize back to Serie A in the upcoming years.
"History states that from 1978 until 2007, the Ballon d'Or was regularly won by players competing in Serie A," he said at a press conference.
"After this 30-year period, the trophy has subsequently been away from Italy for five years. My hope is that Gigi manages to halt the negative run by bringing it back in the next two years.
"Given that just one goalkeeper, [Lev] Yashin, has had the honour of lifting it, I think it would be a correct acknowledgment of what Gigi means to Juventus and the world of football as a whole."
The 34-year-old Buffon inked a new deal with Juventus until June 2015 on Wednesday.
