The appartement is very well located and there are many shops nearby. However there is no heating available and the temperature in the rooms after 6pm was too low, the towels could not dry up in the bathroom and there is no bed in the living room but only a sofa with is not a true bed. So for the warmer seasons this location is good and there is a nice view

A new plan that outlines the future of Yosemite National Park was discussed with more than 70 area residents last week during a public meeting in Oakhurst with National Park Service staff, who described the plan and answered questions.
Most of the discussion centered around people's concerns with the Park Service's "preferred alternative" for the revamped Merced River Plan, what would remove many popular commercial services in Yosemite Valley -- including the Curry Village Ice Skating Rink, raft rentals, bicycle rentals, and commercial horseback day-rides out of Yosemite Valley. The proposed removal of the historic Stoneman Bridge was also a concern raised.
After more than a decade of lawsuits over the controversial Merced River Plan, the Park Service is conducting its final stretch of public comment -- to end April 18 -- before the final plan must be submitted to the court this July for final approval.
"It's critical we get your input so we can work together, because this plan is going to set some policy for some very important changes," said Kathleen Morse, chief of planning for Yosemite National Park, during the March 14 public meeting at Sierra Senior Center in Oakhurst. "We had over 40 public workshops before the draft ever hit the street. We've learned together, and we've shared every step of this together."
Morse said many people who have spoken with them about the plan said it is "really important that the essence of Yosemite is maintained" and that people get to choose how they enter Yosemite and are "not mandated to take buses."
The preferred alternative calls for leaving visitor use levels similar to already allowed maximum capacity -- about 19,900 people coming through Yosemite Valley throughout one day.
"Only three days last year reached that peak visitation number," Morse said. "If visitation gets to that point repeatedly over the years, we may go to a reservation system (to enter the park) on those peak days ... but it's not necessary to employ it at this point."
If the preferred alternative is chosen, Yosemite Valley would get a moderate increase in campsites and parking -- including an overflow parking area in the east end of Yosemite Valley and neighboring El Portal for peak visitation days. The preferred alternative also calls for new road construction to allieviate traffic congestion; rearranging the Yosemite Village parking area to create a more pleasant "sense of arrival" feeling; building a boardwalk in the meadow beneath El Capitan; 203 acres of essential restoration within 100 feet of the river; improving employee housing; and moving some offices out of Yosemite Valley.
Morse said the final draft of the Merced River Plan can include a mix of elements from the six different plan alternatives, and that the plan will amend and replace outdated information in Yosemite's General Management Plan of 1980.
The proposed changes are estimated to cost more than $200 million. Morse said while that "sounds like a big number ... some plans in the past were half a billion," and changes would occur over a 10-year period, paid for using a combination of Yosemite's entrance fee dollars, concession franchise fees, federal highway dollars, and help from Yosemite Conservancy.
The majority of the three-hour public meeting held last week in Oakhurst about the park plan was devoted to listening to many public comments and answering questions.
Residents were reminded that public comments were not formally being recorded during the meeting, and should also be submitted to the Park Service in writing.
"I didn't expect to be impressed, I expected to be confrontational," said Ted Fischer with Backcountry Horsemen of California after the Park Service's presentation -- relieved to find out that private stock would still be allowed in Yosemite Valley and the stables will not be eliminated, although commercial day-rides are proposed to cease.
"I really hope you find some way to maintain the bike rentals and the skating rink," said one woman. "There's not many outside rinks left and my family really treasures it."
While several people also stuck up for the raft rentals, one elderly woman -- who's visited Yosemite since the early 50s with her family, and whose parents have visited the park since the early 20s -- spoke about her early memories of the riverbank that parallels the portion of the river where commercial rafting now takes place.
Walking along that section of the river used to be "my pleasure," she said. "There used to be tiger lilies and it looked pristine, and now, it looks like a freeway has gone through there, and that's because of the rafting."
John Pero of Ahwahnee said that while he's glad the Park Service is adding parking spaces, the proposed additions still amount to much less parking in Yosemite Valley than existed prior to the flood of 1997 -- a sentiment also echoed by Oakhurst resident Lou Aceto regarding the park's proposal to add camping.
Max Stauffer, president of the Yosemite Sierra Visitors Bureau located in Oakhurst, said that it seemed like the Park Service was listening more to a small group of litigants to make their decisions instead of the opinions of most people who visit Yosemite National Park who enjoy the park's commercial services.
"Without these activities Yosemite really wouldn't be a place we'd choose to go with our kids unfortunately," said one mother who spoke against the proposed elimination of many of the popular commercial services in Yosemite Valley. "I hope we are heard and can find a common ground."
Footnote 5
Several individuals in last week's meeting said the Park Service's proposal to remove many popular commercial services in Yosemite Valley seems to be driven by "Footnote #5" in the 2008 court decision on the Merced River Plan litigation.
The footnote was challenged at last week's meeting, stating that as a footnote, it should be taken as more of a suggestion than as an absolute requirement. Part of Footnote #5 says: "To illustrate the level of degradation already experienced ... we need look no further than the dozens of facilities and services operating within the river corridor ...
"Although recreation is an ORV (outstanding remarkable value) that must be protected and enhanced ... to be included as an ORV, according to NPS itself, a value must be (1) river-related or river dependant, and (2) rare, unique, or exemplary in a regional or national context.
"The multitude of facilities and services provided at the Merced (River) certainly do not meet the mandatory criteria for inclusion as an ORV. NPS does not explain how maintaining such a status quo in the interim would protect or enhance the river's unique values as required under the WRSA (Wild and Scenic Rivers Act)."
"Our legal advice says there is a piece of Footnote Five we have to pay attention to," Morse said last week.
How to learn more and submit a comment
Public comments will be accepted through April 18 regarding the preferred alternative. Those who have submitted public comments in years past should resubmit if still applicable, because former public comments were only used for previous scoping efforts.
The Merced River Plan in its entirety, along with summary guides, and a list of other upcoming meetings, is available online at: http://www.nps.gov/yose/parkmgmt/mrp.htm
Public comments can be submitted online through the park's Planning, Environment, and Public Comment website at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/mrp_deis, by email through http://www.nps.gov/yose/parkmgmt/mrp_comment.htm, by fax at (209) 379-1294, or by mailing letters to Superintendent, Attn: Merced River Plan, P.O. Box 577, Yosemite, CA 95389.
The public comment period for the Tuolumne River Plan ended March 18. The public can also comment on a new plan regarding the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias near Yosemite's south entrance through May 7. The plan is available online at nps.gov/yose/parkmgmt/mgrove.htm.

General Shinseki's greatest contribution was inventing the concept of stryker brigades and pushing hard for a speedier and more mobile 8 wheeled combat vehicle.
His appointment to run the Veteran's Administration was well received because he is a soldier's soldier. The trouble is that the VA is like most government bureaucracies in that Congress makes the rules and the bureaucracy itself operates with behavior that is shaped by professionals who are intended to be aloof from political interference, but not immune from supervision. The rules at the VA seem to have prevented or undermined supervision.
That is not an excuse, however, for Shinseki not getting to the heart of problem definition and not pinpointing sources of trouble in the department. Looking at the General's resume, he may not have had the qualifications necessary to manage the work of the VA. Maybe a soldier without healthcare management experience is not properly qualified and equipped. Who knows if the next VA administrator will be any better in that regard. Let's take a look at Sloan Gibson, his replacement.
"The Senate confirmed Gibson as the VA's No. 2 in February. He previously led the United Services Organizations, which supports troops and their families. He is a 1975 graduate of the United States Military Academy who served as an infantry officer in the Army, in addition to earning airborne and ranger qualifications."
He is another soldier's soldier, and has some relevant experience in supporting families. However, specific management experience appears to be lacking.
"The brigade combat team (BCT) is the basic deployable unit of maneuver in the US Army. A brigade combat team consists of one combat arms branch maneuver brigade, and its attached support and fire units. A brigade combat team is generally commanded by a colonel (O-6), but in rare instances it is commanded by a brigadier general. A brigade combat team carries with its support units necessary to sustain its operations away from its parent division. BCTs contain organic artillery support, formerly received from the division artillery (DIVARTY)."
"During his tenure as Army Chief of Staff, Shinseki initiated an innovative but controversial plan to make the Army more strategically deployable and mobile in urban terrain by creating Stryker Interim-Force Brigade Combat Teams.[8]"

Located at the Fore! Family Fun Center, Shef Brothers Pizza is one component of the quintessential family-fun experience: Inflatable bounce houses, black-light mini-golf, video games, mini-bowling, and pizza. Shef Brothers Pizza offers fresh-baked-to-order pizza to complete your family fun experience. Additionally, the menu boasts a wide assortment of additional appetizers and entrees for appetites of all shapes and sizes. The main feature of the dining room is its black-light paint display with glow-in-the-dark planets of the solar system hanging amidst scenes of galactic black-light wonder. A truly unique atmosphere and certain conversation starter, coupled with the black-light glow golf experience contributes to the unique overall theme.
Appetizers consist of standard garlic bread, cheese fries, nachos, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks and range in price from around $3 to $10 for the "Ultimate Nachos" and $17 for the "Space Station" combo platter. There is also a wide variety of salads: House, stuffed tomato with chicken, Delta chicken, Mediterranean, and Caesar and range from around $2 to $8. Standard pizza-place type sandwiches are also available such as burgers, beef, Italian sausage or combo and range in price from around $8 to $9. A Kid's Menu is available for the picky pint-sized participants in your party with a grilled cheese, chicken tenders, a kid's mostaccioli, and the essential and always popular mac-n-cheese, all for right around $5. Pastas include spaghetti, mostaccioli, Penne alla Vodka, and include in some degree the "home made marinara." A Variety of cakes, cheese cakes, and ice cream complete the dessert selection available.
The main attraction of the Shef Brothers menu is, of course, the pizza. Thin crust is available in 12", 14", or 16" while Stuffed is available in 10" or 12"; a variety suited to accommodate the needs of almost any sized family. The thin crust is rolled and proportioned nicely to provide enough crust 'crispness' to support the toppings and contribute to the flavor and texture, avoiding a doughy or floury taste. The sauce provides great flavor base with enough tomato-rich sweetness to supplement the flavor of the toppings. Available toppings include the expected standards including fresh basil, spinach, jalapenos, and garlic. Most notably, the "signature" pizzas include a "White Pizza" which consists of olive oil, feta, mozzarella, basil, spinach, and chicken in proportionally balanced flavors that provide an artisan-type offering, enhancing the overall caliber of the menu. The stuffed pizza is as formidable in flavor as it is in size and girth, meeting every expectation for stuffed pizza. Every bite full of the most admirable aspects of the Shef Brothers recipe, the flavors and textures combine nicely in proportion of gooey cheese, rich sauce, and hearty crust – each slice a meal in itself. Pizza prices range from $12 to $25.

Boulder County Sheriff's Office
Re-Interment of "Jane Doe," 1954 Homicide Victim,
by Boulder County Sheriff's Office
The remains of "Jane Doe", the unidentified victim of a 1954 Boulder County homicide, were re-interred in her original grave in Boulder's historic Columbia Cemetery on Tuesday morning, September 9th.
"Jane Doe's" naked and battered body was discovered alongside Boulder Creek in Boulder Canyon, approximately eight miles west of Boulder, on April 8th, 1954. An autopsy determined that she had died at the scene from exposure and complications arising from multiple fractures administered by her killer. Despite an extensive investigation at the time, "Jane Doe" was never identified and her killer was never apprehended.
At the request of local historian Silvia Pettem and a few like-minded citizens, Sheriff Joe Pelle resurrected the investigation in February 2004 with the hope of identifying "Jane Doe" through the use of modern forensic technologies. Pursuant to a court order, an exhumation was conducted by Sheriff's investigators, acting under the direction of forensic experts from the Vidocq Society in June 2004. The skeletal remains were
re-assembled and analyzed by Dr. Walter Birkby, a forensic anthropologist. Mr. Frank Bender, an internationally renowned forensic artist, conducted a facial re-construction, giving "Jane Doe" a face that was subsequently featured in a nationally-broadcast episode of "America's Most Wanted".
Investigators also developed a mitochondrial DNA profile for "Jane Doe" with the assistance of Mitotyping, Inc. of State College, Pennsylvania. The profile has been used to exclude a couple of missing persons as possible candidates for identification.
Through Ms. Pettem's research (and that of her dedicated team of volunteers), another possible candidate, Katharine Farrand Dyer, was identified. Dr. Todd Fenton, a forensic anthropologist at Michigan State University, in East Lansing, Michigan, subsequently performed a photographic superimposition of Ms. Dyer's image over a casting of "Jane Doe's" skull. While he noted several similarities, he was unable to confirm that Ms. Dyer was, in fact, "Jane Doe".
It might be noted that many of the experts donated their expertise to the Sheriff's Office without cost; most of the remaining expenses were covered by funds raised through the efforts of the "Jane Doe Fund".
During the past four years, our investigation has netted much information about "Jane Doe" that was not available to our predecessors in 1954. Out of respect for the deceased, and recognizing that virtually every new forensic technology or technique has been applied, Sheriff Pelle directed that the remains be re-interred with dignity pending making a positive identification at some point in the future. The case remains open, and the search for family members of Katharine Farrand Dyer (from whom a DNA profile could be developed for comparison against "Jane Doe's" DNA profile) continues.
With the cooperation of Boulder City Parks officials, who maintain Columbia Cemetery, "Jane Doe" was re-interred in her original gravesite. Crist Mortuary of Boulder generously provided a donated casket and vault for the re-interment and arranged for the opening and closing of the grave. A brief graveside service was officiated by Rev. Andy Wineman, a chaplain from the Boulder County Sheriff's Office; a small contingent of Sheriff's investigators, staff from Crist Mortuary, and City Parks and Open Space officials attended. Ms. Pettem provided a spray of red gladiolas, representing historically the bouquet that adorned "Jane Doe's" grave when she was first buried.

There has been a lot of speculation over who will and won't be returning to "Real Housewives of Atlanta" for season 7. Boring story lines and vicious fights had fans thinking a few cast members wouldn't be back for the next season. E! Online reported Friday on who will stay and who will go on the next season of Bravo's "Real Housewives of Atlanta."
There have been a few rumors about who might not be coming back to the hit Bravo reality TV show. One of the biggest and most persistent stories revolved around the Porsha and Kenya reunion show fight. Both women at one time or another were rumored not to be coming back. Porsha for the violent attack on Kenya when she dragged her across the reunion show stage. Kenya was rumored to be going because of the way she taunts and picks at the other cast members. If the cast were to take a vote, she would surely be gone.
We're not sure if it's good news or bad but both Kenya and Porsha will be coming back to "Real Housewives of Atlanta" next season. Some things have changed because of their fight though. Andy Cohen will no longer allow props at the reunion shows like the scepter and bullhorn used by Kenya during season six. Also, Porsha has a pretty new mugshot and pending charges for assaulting Kenya while cameras rolled. Fans can certainly look forward to more drama between the two next season as they are finalizing their contracts now.
There were also rumors that Cynthia Bailey could kiss the show goodbye. Her former friend NeNe Leakes even campaigned for her to go at one point. Now that the two are ice cold toward each other, it might heat up Cynthia's story line and make fans want to see what happens next. Her failed friendship with NeNe may have saved her place on the show.
All in all, everyone will be back for season 7 of "Real Housewives of Atlanta." There was no doubt Kandi Burruss would be back and given all the legal drama with Apollo Nida, it was a no-brainer to keep Phaedra Parks around. Even if the rumors are true that NeNe Leakes is turning diva and demanding more money, it's probably worth paying it. Right now "Real Housewives of Atlanta" is pulling in the best ratings for all of Bravo's "Housewives" shows and this particular cast has a knack for bringing the drama.

Year in and year out, the Northern Illinois University football team plays some of the top competition. If you were watching the NFL Draft carefully last night, you'll know that the Huskies faced four first-round picks in the 2010 NFL Draft over the last two years. Two players from NIU's 2009 schedule, South Florida defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul and Idaho offensive guard Mike Iupati were picked last night. Pierre-Paul went No. 15 to the New York Giants while Iupati went two picks later to the 49ers. Tennessee, a 2008 opponent of the Huskies had the No. 5 overall and No. 26 overall picks last night in safety Eric Berry and defensive tackle Dan Williams. South Florida safety Nate Allen was selected by the Eagles in the second round.

Running back Cameron Bell, a transfer from Iowa State, is out to help the Huskies' running game this season, and would like to do so as a physical presence. Bell is weighing in at 242 pounds as spring ball wraps up, and as John Sahly writes, he could be a special addition to NIU's offense this season.

The Northern Illinois University football team opened it fifth and final practice of the spring with an hour and a half workout at sun-splashed Huskie Stadium Tuesday morning.From run offense and defense to situational work, the Huskies spent much of the 18-period practice working 11-on-11 drills. While Tuesday's workout may have been one of the shortest practices of the spring, the learning didn't stop when the whistle blew. NIU head coach Jerry Kill had his trio of special guests, Joe Novak, Denny Marcin and Chuck Preifer (see Donna Turner's post below for more on their visit) address the team after practice.As all NIU fans know, coach Kill is passionate about special teams. After speaking to the team Preifer, a special teams coach in the NFL, spent 10 minutes working with the NIU field goal unit and talking special team with the Huskie coaching staff. Coach Kill was there, on one knee, taking it all in.

On ABC News' "Nightline" Monday, the network featured former Northern Illinois football player Scott Bolzan (1980-83), a captain on the 1983 California Bowl championship team, who suffers from severe retgrograde amnesia. After slipping, falling down and hitting his head on a bathroom floor about one year ago, Bolzan lost his entire memory, including revelations of his family. During the heartwarming report, Bolzan re-lives his days as an NIU football player, and also his stint in the NFL.

The Northern Illinois football coaching staff welcomed three special guests to the Yordon Center Monday as former Huskie head coach Joe Novak, along with two of his neighbors and friends in Southport, N.C., Chuck Preifer and Denny Marcin, arrived to visit with the Huskie coaches, watch film, watch practice and most importantly, talk football. A college and professional coach for 29 years before his retirement in 2007, Preifer served as special teams coach for the Green Bay Packers, San Diego Chargers and Detroit Lions, and also coached defenses at Georgia Tech and North Carolina. His Chargers' special teams ranked among the league's best from 1992-1996 and his Detroit Lions units led the NFL in scoring touchdowns for four straight seasons.Marcin is a fellow Ohio native and, like Novak, a Miami (Ohio) grad. Like Priefer, he coached at Miami (Ohio) and in the pro ranks, as a defensive line coach for the Giants and Jets. Collegiately, he was defensive line coach and then defensive coordinator at Illinois and worked at North Carolina.The three have kept in touch over the years and have all retired to Southport. They arrived in DeKalb Sunday and were at the Yordon Center bright and early Monday. They spent the day meeting with the Huskie coaches, watching film of the team, and talking football with the staff.They attended Tuesday morning's practice where NIU Assistant Media Relations Director Joe Summins caught up with the trio. He'll have video of their visit up on Happenings later today. It was great to see Coach Novak, one of the finest people I've ever had a chance to work with, back at the Yordon Center. He looks great, has lost weight and is thoroughly enjoying retirement. In addition to traveling around the country to visit former assistants and watch multiple college and professional games during the season, he and his wife, Carole have had a chance to travel, visiting France with a tour group last spring and getting set to take a 19-day trip to Italy next month. It's evident that his heart is still with the Huskies as he greeted current players, many of whom he recruited to NIU, and Northern Illinois coaches from all sports in the hallways. Joe Novak, definitely a Northern Illinois treasure.
The "veteran" of the Huskie football coaching staff, defensive line coach Jeff Phelps, has taken on the role of Northern Illinois recruiting coordinator, according to NIU Head Coach Jerry Kill. Phelps is in his fifth season at NIU. The Ball State grad and Chicago (University Park) native quietly stepped into the role vacated by P.J. Fleck to finalize details of the signing of the 2010 recruiting class and now has jumped in with both feet. He is coordinating and organizing the Huskie recruiting efforts, which are always ongoing. Starting next week, assistant coaches will be back on the road for the May evaluation period.

Do you inspect the property at the beginning of a tenancy?
Your Property Manager makes a detailed Property Condition Report with photos to record the condition of your property before tenants move in.
We inspect your property area by area (lounge room, bedrooms, kitchen, front and rear yards, garage etc) and then all items present in each area (walls, ceiling, light fittings, curtains, windows, stove etc).
We record their condition and cleanliness item by item, and a brief description of item (e.g. details of any marks, scratches and dents). We take photos outside, as well as inside the property (where required).
We also itemise the chattels or you can give us a chattels list. Your tenant is given a copy of the report when they move in and have 10 working days to make any changes.
How often do you inspect the property during the tenancy?
We inspect the property approximately every 3-4 months – this helps us to make sure your property is being looked after. We let your tenants know 7 days before an inspection, and provide them with a form where they can note any maintenance issues or concerns.
The inspections allow us to check room-by-room that the tenant is keeping the property damage-free and reasonably clean, and can capture any maintenance issues that have not been reported.
We keep you informed with a written report including photos, and contact you if maintenance may cost more than $350.00. If the tenant has caused the damage, we will ask them to pay for repairs and follow-up reimbursement for you.
What about when the tenant vacates the property?
When the tenant lets us know they will be vacating, we send them detailed information on our expectations of how the property needs to be presented.
Final Inspections are completed on the next available working day after a Tenancy has ended.
On the next available working day after the tenant official vacating date, we complete a final inspection, comparing the property in detail to the Property Condition Report we did when the tenant moved into the property.
We carefully check through the report item-by-item, making sure it has been left in the same condition as when they moved in, taking into account reasonable wear and tear for the period of time they have been in the property. This is a legislative requirement.
We make sure the property has been left reasonably clean and check the smoke alarms.

Written and Directed by Kevin Ramsey
September 11 – November 8, 2009
Stackner Cabaret
More information about the play:
Playwright and director Kevin Ramsey returns
to The Rep this season with his newest production, SOULTIME AT THE
APOLLO. Having just created FIRE ON THE BAYOU: A MARDI GRAS MUSICAL
EXTRAVAGANZA for the 2008/09 Rep season, we are grateful to have
yet another of Kevin's music-filled, historical portraits come
to life on our stage and inspire our patrons to once again get up
and dance!
I spoke to Kevin recently, on the heels of his busy production schedule.
Sharon Pomaville: Kevin, I was so happy to see
that you were directing another production at The Rep this season.
It's good to have you back with us once again. Tell me about
Kevin Ramsey: SOULTIME celebrates the legacy of
the Apollo Theater, commemorating its 75th anniversary this year.
The first show I co-wrote and directed at The Rep, IF THESE SHOES
COULD TALK, was in 1993, starring the legendary Harold Nicholas.
It was also Joseph Hanreddy's first season as Artistic Director
for The Rep. The irony is, this is Joe's last season with MRT
and somehow we're back at the Apollo. IF THESE SHOES COULD
TALK took place at a shoe shine stand in front of the Apollo, and
SOULTIME takes place in the basement of the Apollo, chronicling the
memory of an old stagehand called Soultime. The Apollo is a cultural
icon, and I have been fascinated by how much music was created there
that has influenced the American landscape both musically and culturally
over a span of 75 years.
Audiences will be taken on a great journey through the musical annals
of the Apollo Theater – ranging from doo-wop, jazz, soul, gospel,
R&B and everything in between – every decade ushering in
new music inspired by what was happening in America at that time.
We may be aware of the notables – Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington,
Sarah Vaughn, Cab Calloway, James Brown, Sam Cooke – those
that crossed over into the mainstream. But there were hundreds who
became big stars only within the Harlem community. Here was a place
where you could go on Wednesday nights for an Amateur Talent Show – I
guess the original American Idol. You signed up weeks in advance,
and either you succeeded or failed terribly. The Apollo tested the
strengths of any human being: if you could play the Apollo, you could
truly play anywhere. If there wasn't such a thing called segregation,
the Apollo might never have existed. But what a price to pay!
SP: What do you hope your audience will experience
and take home?
KR: To know that they are a part of this tapestry
that is so Americana, with the music swimming and swarming in their
heads. I feel it is so important to honor those that have come before,
because we all stand on somebody's shoulders in a way, with
a handing off of various torches from generation to generation. I
think one of my biggest thrills with BAYOU was at the top of the
second act, where people actually got up and danced! I find that
extremely liberating, not only for me, but for the audience to have
that kind of freedom, that kind of theatrical experience, that dialogue
with the actors.
SP: What's next for your hopes and dreams
for yourself and this beautiful world we all share?
KR: Artistic and financial freedom. My dream is
to continue to be inspired to write about humanity, whether in theater,
film or television and to bring my work to audiences globally. I
have so many dreams of wanting to use my art to help, to heal, to
encourage, to educate and to learn, but most importantly to provoke
and entertain.
At the end of the day, I'm so blessed to be able to do what
I do, and love what I do. Once again, my heartfelt gratitude to Joe
Hanreddy, Sandy Ernst, The Rep's staff and wonderful audiences.
Who would have thunk, coming from New Orleans and spending many years
on the East Coast, that out of all the places in the world, the place
that would give me so much inspiration would be Milwaukee? It gets
very cold and I hate the cold. I must really want to be here!

The Cardinals have announced that they have purchased the contract of LHP Marco Gonzales; the 22 year-old will make his MLB debut today against the Colorado Rockies. In corresponding moves, the Cardinals have moved RHP Joe Kelly to the 60-day DL and designed SS Pete Kozma for assignment.
Gonzales was the first round pick of the Cardinals in 2013 (19th overall) and will bypass Triple A; he's on the same career path as Michael Wacha.
Gonzales has been having a great year prior to this promotion. Between Palm Beach (Hi A) and Springfield (AA), he was 5-4 in 13 starts; he has 78 strikeouts in 76.1 innings. Gonzales was named to the Texas League All Star team and the U.S. team for the 2014 Futures Game.
Gonzales is a Colorado native (Fort Collins), so he'll be making his debut in front of friends and family. Included in that group is his father Frank, who is the pitching coach for the Rockies short-season A team; the Rockies are flying Frank in for the game.
Kelly has been on the DL since straining his hamstring back in April. He's been slowly working his way back and could make a rehab assignment in the next few weeks. His current estimated return is mid-July.
Kozma went from starting shortstop on a World Series team to minor league utility player in the span of 6 months. Kozma's offense in 2013 was sub-replacement level and cause the team to sign Jhonny Peralta to a multi-year deal. Kozma was just recalled to the Major League team Monday. The Cardinals have 10 days to trade or release the shortstop before they either lose him to waivers or send him to Memphis.

I'm an iPhone programmer who is no longer in possession of a personal Mac computer on which to use XCode. I have two Windows desktops, and I would like to run OS X in VMWare rather than purchase Apple's expensive hardware. However, neither of my machines supports hardware-assisted virtualization, which is required to virtualize OS X. I went shopping online for a computer today, since I've been planning to purchase a laptop anyway, but sites like Best Buy don't appear to give any indication of whether or not a product supports this. Is there any other site out there or some trick to figuring this out other than buying the machine and running Microsoft's nifty little detection tool?
How can I know if a computer supports hardware-assisted virtualization before I purchase the computer?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Jun 23 '11 at 15:10
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
You want to know of the processor in the machine has hardware virtualization, what Intel calls "VT-x" in their literature.
Most of the time, the description of a computer will tell you what model processor it has. That's pretty much all you'll need to know. e.g. Here in Canada, Best Buy is advertising a Samsung laptop for $598. The ad says it has an Intel T6600 CPU.
The first google hit for "Intel T6600" sends me to a page at intel.com. Scroll down to the "Advanced Technologies" portion of the page. There I find the note "Intel Virtualization Technology -> No".
So, I can scratch that laptop off my list. You'll need to keep looking for a machine that has VT-x.
For AMD, there is an analogous technology, called AMD-V. I have no idea if OSX will run on an AMD processor... but I expect it does not. Anyway, there's a good overview of the whole topic on Wikipedia.

This paper characterizes predator–prey interactions amongst African mammals from C4 savanna environments using stable carbon and nitrogen isotope proxies for diet. Stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope data from hair and faeces of large African mammal carnivores, and herbivores as potential prey, are presented for a diverse range of taxa. Carbon-isotope data imply that most carnivores from the "lowveld" savanna of South Africa form part of C4 grass-based food webs. Nitrogen isotope data show clear differences between trophic levels, although it appears that the magnitude of these differences varies between predators feeding on invertebrates and vertebrates, respectively. Whilst the number of carnivore samples for which data are available is relatively few, and data for prey are restricted mainly to large ungulate herbivores, results clearly demonstrate the potential for future applications of this technique to predator–prey food webs in African savannas. In tandem with traditional approaches, stable isotopes can help elucidate patterns of predator impacts on prey populations, domestic livestock, and resolving similar food webs in palaeoenvironmental contexts.

|Synta Provides Company Updates and Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2012 Financial Results
-- Expects mid-year overall survival results from the GALAXY-1 trial for ganetespib in second-line non-small cell lung cancer –
-- Expects enrollment of the pivotal GALAXY-2 Phase 3 trial to commence this month --
-- Announces key addition to executive management team –
"Over the past year, we have made strong progress in the development of
ganetespib, our Hsp90 inhibitor," said Dr.
"Ganetespib represents a distinct cancer treatment paradigm – targeting
one protein, the chaperone, which simultaneously destabilizes a broad
range of oncogenic pathways," said Dr.
"The clinical evidence to date, together with the preclinical results that show treatment with ganetespib changes the broader biology of cancer cells, reducing tumor aggressiveness, are encouraging," continued Dr. Ramachandra. "Results expected later this year will be important in confirming the clinical activity and establishing the potential for ganetespib beyond lung cancer."
The safety profile of ganetespib has been favorable in over 700 patients treated to date in more than 20 clinical trials. Transient, mild or moderate diarrhea has been the most commonly reported adverse event.
Key accomplishments in 2012
1. At the 2012
Highlights included:
a. An increase in overall survival was observed in adenocarcinoma patients treated with ganetespib plus docetaxel. A median overall survival of 7.4 months was observed in the docetaxel control arm, while median overall survival had not yet been reached in the ganetespib arm. Results for docetaxel were consistent with results from prior second line non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) therapy trials. Objective response rate and progression-free survival were also improved in the ganetespib arm.
b. Results in several GALAXY patient subpopulations, defined by pre-specified clinical and biomarker characteristics, showed a substantially improved survival difference between the control arm and ganetespib arm, as compared with the difference in the all-comer (intent-to-treat) adenocarcinoma patient population. These findings have been incorporated into the design of the GALAXY-2 trial, with the objective of enriching for patients likely to derive the greatest benefit from ganetespib treatment.
c. Clinical and preclinical results were presented that suggest ganetespib reduces or disrupts new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) and the emergence of new lesions (metastases). Analyses of tumor samples from patients treated with ganetespib showed a reduction of levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia induced factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha), key drivers of angiogenesis and metastasis.
d. A favorable safety profile was observed with the ganetespib plus docetaxel combination in adenocarcinoma patients. Transient, mild-to-moderate diarrhea was the most common adverse event, consistent with observations from other clinical trials evaluating ganetespib.
2. Completed enrollment of the 240 adenocarcinoma patient target
population of GALAXY-1 in
3. Participated in an End-of-Phase 2 (EOP2) meeting with the

5. Synta collaborators enrolled the first patients in investigator-sponsored trials evaluating ganetespib in combination regimens for treatment of ALK+ NSCLC, hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer, multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, and rectal cancer.
6. Completed equity financings resulting in approximately
Ganetespib clinical updates
The 240 adenocarcinoma patient enrollment target for GALAXY-1 was
achieved in
The GALAXY-1 protocol specified that enrollment of patients with either of two pre-specified biomarkers may continue, following completion of the targeted number of all-comers adenocarcinoma patients, in order to ensure a sufficient number of patients in each of these biomarker-defined subpopulations. We expect that approximately 60 additional such patients will be enrolled. Based on our current projections, we expect that the final PFS analyses for these GALAXY-1 biomarker-defined subpopulations will be conducted in the second half of 2013.
The GALAXY-2 Phase 3 trial has the same design as the GALAXY-1 trial.
Approximately 500 patients with advanced adenocarcinoma NSCLC will be
randomized 1:1 to treatment with docetaxel plus ganetespib or docetaxel
alone. The same dose and schedule used in the GALAXY-1 trial will be
used in the GALAXY-2 trial. Patients on both arms will receive docetaxel
generally for four to six 21-day cycles, according to standard practice
at their treatment center. After completion of docetaxel treatment,
patients on the ganetespib arm are eligible to continue to receive
ganetespib as monotherapy treatment until disease progression. The trial
will be conducted in many of the 60 centers across
Results from an interim analysis of the GALAXY-1 trial conducted in
Overall survival is the primary endpoint for GALAXY-2. Two event-driven interim analyses have been specified. Based on current projections and statistical assumptions, Synta expects these analyses, together with the final analysis, to occur in 2014.
Additional clinical updates
1. Results from an initial phase of the CHIARA trial, evaluating ganetespib monotherapy for treatment of ALK+ NSCLC naïve to ALK inhibitor therapy, will inform the decision as to whether to continue additional enrollment in this trial. Synta plans to provide additional updates regarding this program mid-2013.
2. Synta also plans to provide updates mid-year from the ongoing ENCHANT trial, designed to evaluate ganetespib monotherapy as first-line treatment of HER2+ and triple negative metastatic breast cancer.
3. New investigator-sponsored and cooperative group studies are being planned to evaluate ganetespib in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapies for the treatment of metastatic breast and ovarian cancers.

About Ganetespib
Ganetespib is a potent inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) that is structurally unrelated to first-generation, ansamycin-related Hsp90 inhibitors. In preclinical experiments, ganetespib has shown activity in multiple tumor models both as a single agent and in combination with certain widely used cancer agents. Company-sponsored clinical studies with ganetespib include 1) the randomized GALAXY-1 and GALAXY-2 trials evaluating ganetespib in combination with docetaxel as second-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 2) the CHIARA Phase 2 trial evaluating ganetespib monotherapy in ALK+ NSCLC, and 3) the ENCHANT Phase 2 trial evaluating ganetespib as first-line treatment for HER2+ and triple-negative metastatic breast cancer. In addition, ganetespib is being evaluated in investigator-sponsored trials for treatment of a number of solid tumor and hematologic cancer indications. Information on these trials can be found at clinicaltrials.gov.
The safety profile of ganetespib has been favorable in over 700 patients treated to date in more than 20 clinical trials. Transient, mild or moderate diarrhea has been the most commonly reported adverse event.
About the GALAXY Trials
The GALAXY (Ganetespib Assessment in Lung cAncer with docetaXel) program consists of two randomized trials comparing the combination of ganetespib and docetaxel versus docetaxel alone in patients with Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC who have received one prior systemic therapy: a 300-patient Phase 2b/3 trial (GALAXY-1) to determine the patient population most likely to derive benefit from ganetespib, and a 500-patient confirmatory Phase 3 trial (GALAXY-2). More information about the GALAXY trials can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01348126 and NCT01798485).
About Hsp90
Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone required for the proper folding and activation of many cancer-promoting proteins, and is recognized as a key facilitator of cancer cell growth and survival. Many of the "client proteins" of Hsp90 – such as AKT, ALK, BCR-ABL, BRAF, EGFR, FLT3, HER2, HIF-1alpha, KIT, MET, PDGFRA, and VEGFR – are the targets of clinically validated cancer drugs. In preclinical studies, inhibiting Hsp90 causes the degradation of multiple client proteins and leads to cancer cell death.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Seth Walsh joins Asher Brown and Billy Lucas as the third teen to commit suicide this month because of high school bullying. Seth Walsh was a 13 year from Tehachapi, California that killed himself after enduring relentless bullying in school. And like Asher Brown (picture above), Seth's calls for help were not heard.
Walsh was a student at Jacobsen Middle School. Reports in the Advocate.com claim, again, that the school allegedly knew that Walsh was be bullying and did nothing to do about it, while boasting they had an anti-bullying program.
Walsh had enough and decided this month to hang himself from a tree. Last night, after nine days on life support, Walsh passed. Billy Lucas, 15, Asher Brown, 13, and among the others that have taken their lives because of being "bullied to death". Yet, statistics remain lacking as to how many cases of bullying are in today's schools.
Just last night, LALATE reported on the death of Brown. His family couldn't afford him tennis shoes in perfect condition; his clothes weren't designer labels; and Brown found self fault with the fact that he was short. He was kicked, tripped, taunted, and laughed at by the bullies. They teased him about his clothes, about his shoes, about his height, and about being gay. His parents claim they contacted his school constantly, even sending them an email to watch out for more bullying.
The school upon Asher Brown's death said they had never heard from his parents about bullying concerns, never knew about the bullying in the school halls. Perhaps the school officials didn't open their eyes. When local news KRIV-TV Channel 26 asked students and parents if they knew about Brown being bullying, they said absolutely.
