I am interesting in hearing from anyone who has had Cyberknife treatment for PC. Particularly any short term/long term side effects. Is this considered a nerve-sparing treatment? What about bowel and urinary side effects?
Oct 24, 2013 - 12:28 am
For some reason, I did not notice the information that you posted about the biopsy?
Consider having a second opinion of the slides of the biopsy by a world class pathologist who specializes in prostate cancer since determining gleason is subjective.
Did you have an MRI or other diagnostic test to have an indication of extracapsular extension? Steven, It's important to know if the cancer is localized, that is within the prostate or in addition outside the prostate. This will be a determining factor for treatment
What are the credentials of the surgeon? Has he been fellowship trainned? How many robotic surgeries has he performed? etc, etc. There is a steep learning curve for robotic surgery....one needs to perform at least several hundred to be somewhat proficient....thousands are better.
Yes you are right, many docs are self serving. Remember you are the CEO of your case; these docs work for you. It is important to read books, attend support groups and see multiple docs in various specialties. You need to find the best that you can in each specialty even if you have to travel to Tim buck To.
If you need , take a little extra time to make the right decision for you.
Steven, Both SBRT and Robotic Surgery are viable treatments for men with a Gleason 7 providing that there is no extracapsular extention. Generally SBRT is 95 percent cure effective and has minimal side effects.
There were valid comments written above.
Good idea to see an experienced SBRT specialist for a consultation and visit the cyberknife web site as mentioned above.
P.S. Don't worry about your balls falling off ...many of us who had this happen use super glue to reattach

Thanks for the feedback. I did some research on my own, and had a few users shoot me some information. I found that alot of the "Canadian" or domestic pharmacies did ship drugs sourced in India, but I found one that I did order from. When I called the 800 number, I was able to speak to someone in Canada who answerd all questions pretty clearly. http://canadapharmacyrx.com/generic-viagra.html?ProductID=22 is the link I ordered from, just wanted to share with everyone, thank you very much for the messages and support!

Hi and welcome to our forum. I started to send a message several times yesterday and got delayed. I see you mention Chattanooga. I live just up the road in Cleveland TN and would be more than happy to meet with you or talk with you via the phone.
I had robotic surgery at age 54 (four years ago). Each person has there own preferences for treatment since that is what they experienced. If you decide to go Robotic look for a Doctor that has a great level of experience. Four years ago I could not find any one in the Chattanooga area with what I considered fast experience with the robot. It does have a large learning curve to become very precise and profecienet with the robot. I chose Dr. Smith at Vanderbilt in Nashville.
Post surgery I had a positive margin and have been monitored closely since surgery on the PSA. In August this year my psa was at .3 so elected to have what is called salvage radiation to the prostate bed. I have two more sessions to go of 38.
Even though I had a positive margin I still consider my surgery a success. I had no issues with urine control. I do use Levitra and am able to still enjoy the sexual side of life.
I looked into the cyberknife option four years ago. At that time they would not treat a gleason 7. I do not know if that is true or not today. At that time the closest cyperknife was up in Knoxville TN.
Again if you would like to chat in person or via phone just let me know. This forum has an email feature you can contact me through that method. Or I'm free most days after 5pm and would be willing to meet you somewhere.

Now Gleason 7 and above are routine being treated with SBRT. For the most part containment in the prostate is critical to treatment. For more aggressive cancers SBRT uses greater margins.

Thanks for sharing Hopeful and opt. I did not know that. Was just going on what I had been told 4 years ago.

Welcome to the forum although I am sorry you are here. I had CK in 2010 and still am free from any side effects. Your urologist, in my opinion, has given you misleading and slanted information about modern radiation techniques and understated the potential risks associated with RP. I have posted dozens of times about my experiences and the technical aspects of the CyberKnife SBRT treatment method and you may find it useful to look back in the history of this forum to see some of these.
Discussions about the best treatment method are often heated and emotional but that is usually a factor of men being passionate about their treatment choices. There really aren't any do-overs in this so be very careful about the choice you eventually pick and make sure you are going in with your eyes wide open.
I strongly encourage you to deal directly with a radiation oncologist that specializes in CyberKnife treatment to see if this might be an option for you and to get another opinion on potential side effects. There are several studies that you can peruse but a consultation with a specialist is the best way for a layman to get information. Of course, radiation oncologists are biased toward their speciality just as robotic surgeons are biased toward thier own process. You really need to listen to all of them to get a clear picture.
Every treatment option poses risk to your quality of life. In my lay opinion, CK poses less risk than any other option and that is why I chose it. I'm very happy that I did. I also think that RP poses one of the highest risks to future quality of life. Scroll back and read some of the stories and judge for yourself where the risks are.
Good luck.

Hi guys/Kongo,
I'm new here so forgive my Naivety. just came across this site today from a friend, just in the middle of the ball park game, after having A 3D MRI and MULTI MAPPING Perineum BIOPSY still waiting for results, but as of yet i was told after the ULCH in London had seen my MRI that i had LOW RISK LOCALISED Cancer and that they would know better after the biopsy how to go forward with treatment options. Came across this Cyberknfe and am pinning my hopes on it, as i was initially swayed towards Radiotherapy against the Surgery for all the reason highlighted here, but was a little put off with the possible severe side effects of colon cancer with the radiotherapy they use. But then read about the advances with CYBERKNIFE. Still taking on board all posts and help. And will definitely check out the doctors credentials and second opinions, as my GP said this is why you 'sign a consent form' to acknowledge that you know what you are signing for. Any further thought on CYBERKNIFE would be welcomed.
Nov 14, 2013 - 4:31 pm
Please repost after you receive the results from the biopsy, the paper work so we can provide input....in the event that your biopsy is positive, which ihopefully it will not be, there are various options that are available to include but not limited to SBRT(cyberknife). We will be happy to provide input at that time.
In your statement, please include age, psa history,DRE results, what led to you having a biopsy, number of cores taken in biopsy, number positive, the gleason score of each core that was positive and the amount of involvement of each core that is positive. Also include any other diagnositic tests taken.
In the biopsy that you had, have any of the suspicious lesion found in the MRI been targeted?
Also please start a new thread. This can be done by clicking new forum topic on the upper left side of the discussion boards
Oct 24, 2013 - 2:30 pm
I would assume since the Cyper Knife beam is directed at the prostate that the nerves would also receive some radiation. The nerves that contol erections are in a thin layer that surrond the prostate.
also was good to chat with you on the phone today.

Radiation Oncology 2013, 8:118 doi:10.1186/1748-717X-8-118
Published: 13 May 2013
Abstract (provisional)
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) may yield disease control for prostate cancer in a brief, hypofractionated treatment regimen without increasing treatment toxicity. Our report presents a 6-year update from 304 low- (n = 211), intermediate- (n = 81), and high-risk (n = 12) prostate cancer patients who received CyberKnife SBRT.
The median PSA at presentation was 5.8 ng/ml. Fifty-seven patients received neoadjuvant hormonal therapy for up to one year. The first 50 patients received a total dose of 35 Gy in 5 fractions of 7 Gy. The subsequent 254 patients received a total dose of 36.25 Gy in 5 fractions of 7.25 Gy. Toxicity was assessed with the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite questionnaire and the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group urinary and rectal toxicity scale. Biochemical failure was assessed using the nadir + 2 definition.
No patients experienced Grade III or IV acute complications. Fewer than 5% of patients experienced any acute Grade II urinary or rectal toxicities. Late urinary Grade II complications were observed in 4% of patients treated to 35 Gy and 9% of patients treated to 36.25 Gy. Five (2%) late Grade III urinary toxicities occurred in patients who were treated with 36.25 Gy. Late Grade II rectal complications were observed in 2% of patients treated to 35 Gy and 5% of patients treated to 36.25 Gy. Bowel and urinary quality of life (QOL) scores initially decreased, but later returned to baseline values. An overall decrease of 20% in the sexual QOL score was observed. QOL in each domain was not differentially affected by dose. For patients that were potent prior to treatment, 75% stated that they remained sexually potent. Actuarial 5-year biochemical recurrence-free survival was 97% for low-risk, 90.7% for intermediate-risk, and 74.1% for high-risk patients. PSA fell to a median of 0.12 ng/ml at 5 years; dose did not influence median PSA levels.
In this large series with long-term follow-up, we found excellent biochemical control rates and low and acceptable toxicity, outcomes consistent with those reported for from high dose rate brachytherapy (HDR BT). Provided that measures are taken to account for prostate motion, SBRT's distinct advantages over HDR BT include its noninvasiveness and delivery to patients without anesthesia or hospitalization.

I was treated by Dr. Katz , a Dr. in the study linked by hopeful and opt....18 months ago . The entire C/K procedure was mundane with nothing of note , except bring your own music cd to listen to during treatment , theirs sucked , in fact I let them keep mine and the tech guy was appreciative .
Also , I was a big baby during the perineal implants and got scared of the needles , the whole thing took 5 minutes and no big deal .
After effects were trouble peeing for a few days due to prostate swelling due to the fact that I didn't listen to Dr. Katz who told me to take extra anti inflammatories during treatment , but that went away in a day or two .
Also , not diareah but "looseness" for about a week or so , no big deal .
In fact , overall no big deal .
Dont go just anywhere , use a quality RO - even Dr. Samadi , the reknowned NY Prostate surgeon who prefers surgery to radiation , cautions to use a good surgeon if you go that way , research your RO before using one , Dr. Katz for example is a C/K innovator with 500-600 cases worth of experience and a success rate of 97% low risk and above 90% intermediate with low side effects . He uses advanced targeting technique that all C/K RO's dont use , so shop around .
No L/T effects so far after 1 1/2 yr .

Gleason six. Two positive specimins. Diagnosed early 2013. Treated March 2013
Initially my urologist somewhat pushed his Da Vinci surgery but he also sent me to HIS radiation treatment center. They offered the 8 week treatment which I chose not to do. After him-hauling around they finally mentioned cyberknife. After a little research it was pretty much a no-brainer. Almost no side effects until now... almost 10 months later. I have been having minor discomfort after sex. Apparently the orgasm might be causing the pain. Not during but the next few days after sex. This was the first time I had this pain and it's slowly subsiding. It's not bad enough to bother me all the time so hopefully it's just a stage of healing. They say the prostate literally dies and shrinks. Little to no ejaculate so it is quite a bit different than when everything was normal. Doctor calls it "shooting blanks". Beats the alternative.
I video'd one of my sessions.... enjoy

I'm 65 and am about to start on prostate cancer treatments. I'm prescribed doxorubicin which is mostly affordable, but my Dr. has suggested Viagra to go with it, and I'm not making a lot of money at the moment. My Dr. also mentioned alternatives such as "generics" and his personal off the record reassurance about Canadian pharmacies as an option, which I am a little skeptical of. Has anyone every used one of these online sources, or have any experience?
Oct 08, 2015 - 8:04 pm
You may want to repost your message in a new thread rather than buried at the end of this old thread on CK which has NOTHING to do w/online pharmacies.
That said, I can tell you that there are many "good" discount pharmacies available online. I've been using ProgressiveRx for years to buy daily dose cialis, which only costs me around 60 for a 3 month (90 pill supply) which is about 2/3rds less than what Walgreens will charge me for the same medication.
ProgressiveRx has offices in the State of Washington but the drugs are made and shipped from Bangalore, India. Never had any problems in the shipment and/or quality of any medications received by me from them.
You can find their website here: http://www.progressiverx.com/store/
They also get good feedback on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ProgressiveRx

I personally think BYU has pretty much no chance of being in the BCS with 1 loss maybe.
But CBS and National Football Post have both discussed BYU in the BCS.
As far as I know those two publications are not BYU "fans"
One thing interesting I found on ESPN are the drive for a championship rankings (no idea that that is) But they have BYUs schedule #12 and Utah's #2 so this has by far been the toughest year for the Utes and Cougs.
Hopefully the cougs can pull out a really tough game.
And hopefully the Utes can improve and make a bowl game.

Not likely, in fact near impossible for a BCS bowl this year. But we have a
chance to beat a few teams that may be playing in a BCS bowl. Texas, Houston,
and Wisconsin are still in the hunt for their conference championship and
automatic BCS birth. Wouldn't that be ironic IF BYU beat Wisconsin and IF
all three of those schools won their conference? What would that say about the
BCS system?
Just thinking....

The details on Falslev's injury I heard was that he caught himself falling on the waverider at Provo Beach Resort. I can totally see that happening and understand why they'd want to keep it under wraps. Stupid way to lose your starting PR and good WR. I understand wanting to have these "team building" activities on a bye week but can they pick something a little less physical?

Voodohound--- I like the way you think. There's virtually no way BYU will get a BCS bowl but it is always fun to give the "big boys" cause to pause and fumble over their conference snob ways. I'm still thinking Wisc. wins this one but feel more hopeful now than I was a month ago and think an upset is certainly possible. Andersen will make sure his team doesn't overlook BYU the way Texas did and they are sure to game plan for our weaknesses. Can't wait for this game. Go Coug's!!

If BYU can play well we can win out. Worst case we're 8-4 on the season. Best case we're 10-2. Either way it's been a good season, minus poor losses to two bad teams. But seeing the improvement by the whole squad week after week has been great to see!

Any hope BYU had for a BCS bowl vanished when the clock hit triple zeros in
Charlottesville against a team that has since been proven to be really bad.
Those who wanted to fool themselves into believing that BCS hopes remained
should have been shocked back to reality with the loss to what has been proven
to be another mediocre Utah team. With those two losses, there is no scenario
where BYU backs into the BCS, so can we all stop fooling ourselves?
I'll admit BYU's better off out of the MWC, but independence continues to hurt the football program. We can keep telling ourselves that these November games matter, but they don't. BYU is going to San Francisco and there is no conference championship available to the Cougars to change that fact. Despite two bad non-conference losses, Texas now sits atop the Big XII and controls its destiny for a BCS bowl berth. Can BYU claim the same, despite handing Texas one of those losses? Nope. (Oh, and teams in good conferences also play on national TV against high-profile opponents in the month of November.)
Still think independence is awesome?

To all the haters who for the past two and a half years, clucking and crowing
about how as an indy, BYU would never have anything to play for late in the
season, and how as part of an AQ conference, Utah would always be in the
national conversation and in the hunt for the Rose Bowl. Who has more to play
for now?
Will BYU get that oh-so-coveted BCS invite this year? Vanishingly small chance. But in setting the conversation for next year, in finishing as high in the national polls as possible, and in playing on the biggest stages in November, I'll take this every time.

Forget the BCS. Focus on beating a really good team that may go to the Rose Bowl
As for Virginia, well, a QB with two or three starts under his belt total, a new OC, a new offense dumbed down, a new offensive line, played in a monsoon, delayed for two hours after the start. And the loss was because of a final pass through the hands of a running back, right into the hands of a defender who took it to the red zone.
As for Utah, 30 incomplete passes and a stacked box defense cost BYU the game. Those were both bad losses, so all we can do is get a couple of good wins and beat USC or Washington in the Hunger Bowl.
Wisconsin is real, but so is BYU, so I would take BYU and the points for an upset win. But it will be an upset and the odds maker will have Wisconsin by 7 to 10 points at game time. So don't bet what you can't afford to lose.

Some people-- usually Utah fans---like to compare BYU being an indy team or being in one of the big 5 conferences. Of course it would be better to be in a big 5 conference but that's never been an option for BYU (Big East invite doesn't count, dodged a bullet there). Most of us BYU fans realize we come with baggage (scheduling, TV rights, etc) which is why an invite hasn't come yet. The real comparison should be between being Indy and still being in the MWC. Yes, we'll take independence every time with those options! Maybe the playoffs will make a difference somewhere down the road or the MWC will make an offer we can't refuse but you can't be sure either of those will happen. For now, independence is working quite nicely and we hope to win enough games to stay in the national conversation and land in a bigger conference when further changes come along. Right now, it's all about winning games. Go Coug's!!

"At least BYU is still in the BCS discussion."
They are not in a national discussion. Nothing on ESPN/CNNSI/FoxSports/CBSSports. Nationally, the discussion is about Fresno State, NIU, and Central Florida. The local discussion of BYU in the BCS is either a cruel joke or delusion.
As the 14 year run of the BCS comes to a close, the reason that BYU never got there is "they didn't understand what it takes". Urban Meyer understood it took a perfect season, and that's what he did. Kyle Whittingham understood it took a perfect season, and that's what he did. To say a 2-loss mid-major could make a BCS Bowl shows ignorance of the system.

Not so fast. Right now Fresno State, a MWC team is in the driver's seat to a BCS bowl bid. Considering the fact they barely squeaked a win against Boise State and should have lost to SDSU, BYU would have no problem beating this team. Yet they are the top non BCS team for a BCS bowl offer. With the right scheduling, this year and next year, BYU would probably be going to a BCS game.
Don't get me wrong. I think independence is still a net plus. However, if the objective is to play in a BCS bowl, then staying in the MWC gives us our best chances. If exposure is the priority, then independence or BCS conference is the best option.

After plenty of anticipation, rumors and hyperbole, Lance Stephenson has made his college choice.
He just isn't telling anybody.
The Lincoln star swingman, who became the New York State all-time leading scorer in February, won't announce his choice until the McDonald's All-American Game in Miami, Fla., on Apr. 1. He initially said he would reveal his decision after the PSAL Class AA city championship, to be held Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden, but decided to wait.
"The McDonald's game will be the best time to do it," he said, later adding: "If I do it at the Garden, and we win, I'm gonna be too excited to be talking about that. If we lose, I'm not gonna want to talk."
The 6-foot-5 Stephenson, ranked first in the nation for the Class of 2009 by the Hoop Scoop, said he has whittled his list down to three: Kansas, St. John's and Maryland.
Jayhawks assistant coach Danny Manning has been in New York City recently to watch Stephenson. He was there on Sunday as the Railsplitters, led by Stephenson's 33 points and 13 rebounds, thwarted Boys & Girls, 76-64, in the PSAL Class AA semifinals at Carnesecca Arena.
"He made me play better," Stephenson said. "I want to impress him."
Stephenson, who, along with teammate Darwin (Buddha) Ellis, would become the first player to win four PSAL city titles, said he has based his pick on the caliber of coach, the kind of players he will be surrounded by and what program gives him the best chance to win an NCAA championship. Kansas is the defending national champions while Maryland is a perennial contender.
When asked what that statement means for the Red Storm, who didn't only miss the NCAA Tournament, but were eliminated by Richmond in the opening round of the College Basketball Invitational Wednesday night, he said: "I don't really want to talk about college no more."

Despite the increase in consumer-driven interventions for homeless and mentally ill individuals, there is little evidence that these programs enhance psychological outcomes. This study followed 197 homeless and mentally ill adults who were randomized into one of two conditions: a consumer-driven "Housing First" program or "treatment as usual" requiring psychiatric treatment and sobriety before housing. Proportion of time homeless, perceived choice, mastery, and psychiatric symptoms were measured at six time points. Results indicate a direct relationship between Housing First and decreased homelessness and increased perceived choice; the effect of choice on psychiatric symptoms was partially mediated by mastery. The strong and inverse relationship between perceived choice and psychiatric symptoms supports expansion of programs that increase consumer choice, thereby enhancing mastery and decreasing psychiatric symptoms.

A set of publicly available guidelines to be released by July 2013 will facilitate and reduce the cost of developing and implementing business continuity and security plans.
|Total budget
|€611 712
|EU contribution

|Isdefe (Systems Engineering for the Defence of Spain) (Spain)
|Project Partners

|CNPIC (National Centre for Critical Infrastructure Protection) (Spain)
BUCOPCI is a research project promoting and supporting the development of methodologies to protect critical infrastructures. It also supports the exchange of knowledge and experience in order to identify best practices. BUCOPCI's main focus is on business continuity and security plans for critical infrastructures, and most of the studies undertaken within this project address information technology systems in the transport sector.
Most EU countries are currently working on specific legislation for critical infrastructures. The majority of this legislation will require critical infrastructure operators to define and implement business continuity and security plans. BUCOPCI is different in that, with the help of EU funds, the project will produce a set of guidelines, available to the public, which aim to make easier and cheaper the task of developing and implementing business continuity and security plans, and to ensure that the end product is resilient.
The principal output of the ongoing BUCOPCI project is a set of 'Guidelines for Business Continuity Planning and for setting-up Critical Infrastructures Operators Security Plans'. These guidelines should be flexible enough to be applicable to any transport sector and should be cost-efficient by the time of their implementation. The guidelines will be released to the public by July 2013.
By the end of the project, BUCOPCI will also have released a state-of-the-art study in Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Critical Infrastructure Operators Security Plan (CI OSP) standards. The study will include a preliminary analysis of the implementation of business continuity and security plans for critical infrastructures in the Spanish transport sector.

If you're anything like me then you probably think your job is done once you have your solar panels installed. I coughed up the money, had the contractors come out, ooh'd and aah'd when my panels were installed on my roof and then I never thought about them again. This was a big mistake. One day I called my roof installation company for inspection as my walls looked little wet in rain. They informed me about the bad condition of my panels due to dirt and debris. While solar panels may seem like a set it and forget it type item you would be wrong to think that there is no upkeep involved. I didn't know about upkeep for my panels and I paid so I want to offer a few helpful checklist to others that have panels so they do not have to go through the same hassle I had to.
Keep your panels clean
This may sound like a no-brainer for many but if you're anything like me it never even occurred to you that cleaning solar panels was necessary. Considering the fact that solar panels just became part of the landscape of my house that I never even noticed it didn't dawn on me that they need care. The truth is, the cleaner the glass is on the panel the more surface the sun can reach. If the sun can reach the entire panel without difficulty then you'll be able to receive and store more energy. How often you clean the panels will vary depending on where you live. You'll need to take into consideration the environment that your panels are in. If there is a lot of road construction stirring up dust, or you live in a windy area, or maybe you've just reached the end of winter and your panels have been hit by a lot of wind and potential moss. If you live in a particularly bad area then you may need to wash your panels as often as weekly. If your home stays relatively clean from dirt and other debris then every other month should suffice. The main thing to do is keep an eye out. Simply watch for when your panels become dusty and then use your garden hose to rinse them off.
Cleaning your solar panels
While a spritz with the hose every now and then is good enough in most cases it will be necessary to clean a little deeper occasionally. Keep in mind that you should never use any abrasive soaps or cleaning sponges, these can be harmful to the panel and are unnecessary. If you have access to a pool skimmer they can be the perfect tool. Get the skimmer and apply a soft cloth or wash rag to the end and use some biodegradable soap. If you have to get on the roof to reach your panels be extremely careful as the roofing tiles can become very slick once they become wet. Once you're ready scrub the panels carefully but with enough force to remove any dirt and bird droppings. One of the easiest ways to check if your panels need cleaning is to monitor your meter. If the meter is moving forward in the middle of the day when your panels should be getting the most sun then you either have a lot of appliances currently running or your panels could use a good cleaning. Remember that keeping your panels clean will help you save money so it's worth the extra effort.
Solar panels like the sun
Another mistake I made was not fully considering some trees I had in my yard. While they were smaller they didn't cast shadows across my roofing but as they grew they began to obstruct my solar panels. Thankfully I didn't need to remove my trees but I did have to prune them in a way that allowed the sun to reach my panels. Shade on the panels can be more detrimental than you probably imagine. When part of your panel is shaded it loses power exponentially, so if ¼ of the panel is shaded it seems it would make sense to think you're losing ¼ but in reality you're losing closer to ½. When you install your panels consider what the space will be like in the future and if you already have panels that seem like they're not doing as well as they could then take the time to look around for shade culprits.
Monitoring is important
This is a simple task and really doesn't take hardly any effort on your part but can make a big difference. Just pay attention to your inverter display. If the green light is on then everything is great, if it's not then you'll need to look deeper to figure out why. Just consider that the longer your green light is out the more savings you're losing. Something is wrong with the panels and should be fixed as soon as you notice so that you can continue reaping the benefits. If you're like me you'll have no idea what the problem could be or how to fix it so this is the time to call in the experts and have them take a look.
Record day-to-day performance
It's hard to know if your panels aren't living up to their potential if you don't know how they function at their peak. This is a simple tracking method that will allow you a fuller picture of what your panels put out. To begin your record begin checking what your system has produced around the same time each day. In your ledger make sure you mark which days are sunny, and which are overcast so you know why they differ. Keeping this sort of note system will help you to more easily recognize when your solar system is still functioning but maybe not up to the standard it should be.
I hope these tips are helpful and will keep you from falling into some of the same pitfalls that I did. I truly though solar panels were an install and forget type of situation but with a little upkeep here and there yours will hold up spectacularly and will provide your family power for years to come.

I am trying to find a way to create a box on top of the user uploaded picture so that the user can crop the picture to fit X cropping aspect ratio (the box would have a X min width&height and defined aspect ratio of the box).
I was able to find repos that play with cropping boxes but none that have aspect ratio functions. thus I was wondering if anyone can point me to a tutorial so that I could learn how to do that or a repo that would do what I want to achieve so that I could see how another person achieved that.

Naruto - Skater Boyz by dunebooWatch
©2004-2016 duneboo
Konoha boyz...Tony Hawk style...this started out as a quick sketch, then I liked it...so I colored it. My brother suggested I put the the grind marks on the bottom of their boards so they looked like true skaters instead of posers, so I obliged. Sasuke is of course, the brat of the group, as usual.
Pencil, Photoshop 7

Sasuke is the smexiest of course!
<---sasuke is mine...back away fan girls, lol
i your artwork!
<---sasuke is mine...back away fan girls, lol
i your artwork!
Cool concept, due to their design they look older, their mid or late(ish) teens I'd say, the background while being very simple is very cool, it looks as if they are within a suburban area (the use of the black colour, like a road) while the yellow paint looks like an afternoon/sunset, also the painting method you've done I believe looks like wall grafitti, giving it an effective 'suburban appearance', nice . The colour and shading is really cool, and I like the designs of their decks. In my opinion though, Naruto should have some orange on his jumper/jacket, so it will look as if it has the 'theme' of his manga/future outfit (being an orange/black jumpsuit), and doesn't Shikamaru have black hair?
Great job, this is really cool.
Great job, this is really cool.
thats hot in a way..i dont know how though
vary cool!
love the idea o.o very ncie on the skateboard designs
Heheh, yeah, the grind marks makes it look more natural. XD Naruto's deck oddly looks like an element deck at first glance, or maybe thats just me, lol. XD Great job!
It's so very cool, *_*

By LINDA M. LINONIS
Joseph Jeswald, Girard schools superintendent, described the new $26 million junior/senior high school as a "21st-century learning center."
It will equip students with the necessary skills to compete in the evolving high-tech world and "give them the opportunity for success in the global economy," he said.
Students will have access to state-of-the-art technology including four computer labs and some 260 new computers. Each teacher has a computer.
Jeswald said the science, technology, engineering and mathematics program especially taps into computer technology, and 12th-graders will do senior projects using computers.
"Critical thinking, creativity, innovative, research, communication skills and teamwork will all benefit," Jeswald said.
William Ryser, high school principal, said the "space to learn" in itself will inspire students.
"I think they will be holding their heads up high," he said. Sleek surroundings will enhance learning, he added.
In regular classrooms, there are some 30 SMART Boards connected to teachers' computers. Ted Ragan, computer-technology specialist, said the interactive-teaching devices are a benefit to teaching in that they save and display presentations created by teachers and link to the Internet. "It's a nice teaching tool," he said.
He also noted classroom media centers include DVDs, VCRs and SMART Boards that can "stream live from the Internet."
"It's like having a theater in each room," Ragan said, noting this educational technology engages students.
When school starts Sept. 7, students and teachers will walk spacious halls and sit in roomy classrooms. The air-conditioned school has two wings, one for the high school students numbering about 520 in ninth through 12th grades and, and the other for junior high, about 250 students in seventh and eighth grades.
On the first floor is the home of administrative offices. "This is a better setup," Jeswald said. In the old building, offices for Ryser and Louise Mason, junior high principal, were in different areas. Access to the school interior will be controlled here.
On the second floor is the media center (library), where books on shelves share space with computers.
In the classroom area, a biology and anatomy lab share a storage space with the chemistry and physics lab.
The production lab for construction-tech prep, robotics and other hands-on applications is well-equipped with such tools as a table saw, lathe and drill press.
As part of the energy-efficient design, lights turn on automatically when someone enters and turn off when the room is unoccupied.
There are a number of aesthetic touches such as the use of red and black, school colors, throughout the building. The senior high has black lockers, and the junior high's are red.
Other features include a 300-seat student dining room that can double as an auditorium, specially equipped classrooms for special-needs students, wrestling room and high school gym with seating for 1,300 and junior high gym with seating for about 400. The past is preserved in display cases with trophies, plaques and awards.
A committee of community residents contributed ideas for the school to the administration, who worked with architects on the design.
An open house is scheduled at the new Girard Junior/Senior High School, 1244 Shannon Road, from 1 to 4 p.m. Sept. 4. Joseph Jeswald, Girard superintendent, said they hope to preserve the concrete sign at the top of the old building that says "Girard" and use it at the new school.
Cost: Cost of the new school is $26 million. The Ohio School Facilities Commission is paying for 80 percent of the cost, and a local loan covers the remainder. The old high school was built in 1924.
Space: 130,000 square feet in the two-story building on 25 acres.
Classrooms: 47. Regular classrooms are 810 square feet; labs, 1,100 square feet.
Computers: There are four computer labs and about 260 new computers.
Special features: Thirty SMART Boards, interactive-teaching devices connected to a computer; cafeteria that doubles as an auditorium with stage and seating for 300; two gyms, one for junior high and another for senior high; 330 parking spaces; and security cameras inside and out.

Aristocracy Update for 20 August 2010:
Consider it an economic stimulus program...for Martha's Vineyard....and Spain...
The Rulers are taking their fifth hard earned vacation...since July (it's August..1 month later). In their selfless effort to "stimulate" the tourist industry, Queen Michelle spent $375,000.00 of US taxpayer money in Spain, and now the rulers have rented accomodations costing up to $50,000.00/week in Martha's Vineyard.
Can both be broke as a country and fund the extravagant lifestyle of our rulers? Yes We Can!! Yes We Can!!
All these Taj Mahal type High Schools were the wrong thing to do in this economy. How are the districts gonna maintain them - more property taxes on those of us who can't afford the property taxes we currently have? Governor Stricknine has not solved the school funding problem - only kicked the can down the road to the property taxpayers to pay more.
Time has come to change the overgenrous pay, healthcare, and pension benefits for all school employees to better match the realities of the private sector these days or else the state of Ohio will go bankrupt. How is that $8 billion budget problem gonna get fixed if we continue down this Tax & Spend pathwithout a course correction?
We need a couple of these schools built in Youngstown . State of the art security could be built in to eliminate firearms, drugs and knives in school . Then let the learning begin !
Girard City schools have a good record in both academics and sports programs. The new high school is an investment in the future that will payoff not only for Girard but also for the area.
I remember when Nancy Reagan spent $1 million in tax dollars for new china. Meanwhile, Ronnie declared ketchup was a vegetable for school children. We still have some of the same misguided greedheads who don't want to spend a dime on our kids education. Meanwhile they think it's ok to give WalMart $1 billion in corporate welfare.
According to the OFSC website the project was funded in 2000 -- money wasn't quite so tight then. Nonetheless, this was a wise investment in a city where such things are few and far between.
"Based on the $26 million dollar price tag and 130k sq. ft. this school is $200 a square foot build price. Unsure where the technology pieces are being funded from. Unsure where the outside grounds design are being subsidized from."
Just FYI, in an OSFC funded project, the $26 million price includes the technology, and the landscape/site.
Congratulations to the Vindy for featuring all the good that is being done in our area and to Girard for yet another beautiful new school. Think of all the moaning and groaning that would be going on if we had dilapidated, run down schools. Things are being done and people STILL complain. PLEASE MOVE FROM THE AREA, for not only your good, but for ours as well! Thanks for evening considering it!
Check the OFSC for answers to some of your questions. The state system could well be broken but the school district is to be commended for getting the funding -- if Columbus is handing out money and yours is a competitive district with a dilapidated existing building, why not?
Education is the foundation of industry . We have the labor pool but we need a new generation with the mentality to achieve greatness for our area . This time around let us not export the technology but let us export the manufactured products !
Sure wish I could go back to school there . sounds SUPER . GOOD JOB
Absolutely coorect. Most of this money was from the tobacco industry settlement. It was distributed on a pro-rated basis based on the composition of the districts. I believe Yongstown City Schools got 83% of the money from the OSFC. Unfortunately, when you take the OSFC money, you must conform to their guidelines. But, it is ludicrous to believe the maintenance of this new facility will be more than the old facility. The old Girard HS was very inefficient and likely not very healthy. In addition, the technology tools that are installed are pricey but necessary. The installation of so many SMART boards was wise. It is a great learning tool for motivated students. Some of you posters have some real backward thinking. Do you really believe our kids are going to compete with the rest of the world working in "Tab A into Slot B" jobs? It's not going to happen. Get your heads out of your arses and move forward already.
It's hilarious that the same people that are against building schools that are geared for the future think that the Moaning Valley is the place the high tech industry should relocate.
I have to laugh to keep from crying.
Another waste of taxpayer dollars. The prior high school could have been repaired and the history maintained. Instead the Board decided to spend millions of taxpayer dollars needlessly. Shame on them.
DVDs!! VCRs!! CRT monitors!
Did you ever think that these items were relocated from the old school to the new school? Just because something newer and more powerful doesn't mean that the old equipment is useless! Maybe you should investigate what a SMART board is. My kids used them and thought they were great.
I remember touring my old high school before it was torn down, 30 years after attending it. All I could think of was "How could I stand coming to this this place for 4 years? It was small, uncomfortable, and not an appealling place to be. We expect our kids to attend school for more days and for a longer day and don't want to make the physical plant amenable to the students and teachers. Be glad you don't live in PA where they truly build lavish buildings and the people are merely assessed more taxes.
Bitterness is an interesting emotion. If you let it, it will creep into everything you think and everything you do.
I see that a lot on the message boards here.
I would bet that 99.9% of the people doing the complaining on the board have taken 0% action to back up their beliefs and observations.
I believe that if this area is going to have a future at all, we're going to have to focus on education. Without it, we will not attract the kind of jobs that this area needs to survive. Whether we like it or not, we are now in a global labor market. We are competing with every other state and region in this country, and every other country in the world. For those of you who think it's impossible for us to compete and that all of this school building is a waste of time..........leave.
If you hate the area that you live in......leave. For those of you who are angry or uhappy with is area and are actually willing to do something about it, no matter what your politics or what you want to see changed, please stay here, we need you.
For those of you whose only idea of taking "action" is to post on a message board.......bye. No one will miss you.
Whenever it's tax dollars funding anything, the project becomes Taj Mahal in nature. Whether it's schools, or compensation for those who feed off the public.
This is such a scumbag forum, Vindy. You should really clean up the ignorance left behind by your readers.
You're free to speak whatever you want. Scummy speech is scummy speech though.
And much of it actually IS popular, the scum.
"Locals just love spending other folks money. This region would come to screeching halt without all the wealth redistribution."
Whether you have kids who'll attend the new high school or not, those Girard students belong to ALL of us. As such they deserve the best. When we're at the end of our days we will need the services of intelligent care providers. So let's invest in the Mahoning Valley's future, for my sake and yours.
I don't love spending tax money for WalMart when they make billions. Two-thirds of corporations pay no taxes. It's time conservatives hearts quit bleeding for these corporations. These same corporations have exported jobs and the U.S. taxpayer still give them corporate welfare. I'd rather give my tax dollars to schools.

C.U.R.E. Giving Professional Phase PT Students High-Level Experience
Lebanon Valley College students enjoy the prominence of the
physical therapy
program – a six-year track that culminates in a doctor of physical therapy (D.P.T.) degree. One way by which students in the professional phase of the program can gain real-world experience is participation in
Compassionate Undenied Rehabilitation Clinic (C.U.R.E.)
C.U.R.E. is a student-run clinic in the basement of Lynch Memorial Hall that opens two nights per week. Patients are referred to C.U.R.E. from either the Lebanon Free Clinic or the Volunteers in Medicine (VIM) Free Health Clinic. The only requirements for treatment are that the patient is uninsured and comes with a referral.
Initially, the C.U.R.E. clinic only accepted referrals from the Lebanon Free Clinic. Thanks to its successes and resources, C.U.R.E. was able to expand and take referrals from the VIM.
"What we're seeing a lot in the uninsured population are some very complex medical diagnoses," said Charlie Johnson, C.U.R.E.'s student director. "That's if they've even been diagnosed yet. Many of the cases that come into the free clinic suffer from more than just tendonitis or what may be written on their script. A lot of these people don't go through the regular preventative care or get regular screenings, and therefore, they come to us with a lot of comorbidities."
Common problems seen are musculoskeletal or neuromuscular diagnoses. Many have chronic lower back pain and other orthopedic issues. The biggest challenge to C.U.R.E.'s student clinicians is that many of these problems have festered for years and gone untreated due to a lack of insurance.
"One of things I like to do is to take on the educator role," Johnson said. "You educate and engage patients to stimulate the right questions on their behalf. Getting them involved brings about a positive experience for them."
All students involved serve on a volunteer basis, and each is in their fourth, fifth, or sixth year. They work in teams of three with a supervising, licensed physical therapist overseeing all evaluations and treatments. It is a setup that has been successful at other college pro bono clinics.
Fourth-year students are responsible for documentation, including checking vitals and taking patient history. Fifth-year students complete examinations, run special tests and measures, and conduct interventions and patient education sessions. Sixth-year students hold a clinical instructor role and serve as team leaders.
The oversight of a licensed PT gives students a chance to ask questions while making their own assessments, so the entire experience gives students more than just "hands-on" experience. It also renews interest in the profession for a group that takes part in a very rigorous academic course load.
"We don't do this for the résumé-building aspect," said Marisa Maxwell, the clinic liaison responsible for accepting referrals. "It's more that this is something powerful that we can do as students to help the community. It gives us a chance to use what we learn in the classroom and develop those skills. It's also a way to remind us why we're spending so much time sitting through rigorous classes."
C.U.R.E. is advised by Drs. Stan Dacko and Kathryn Oriel. Dacko and Oriel meet with students, supervising PTs, and directors from the two referring free clinics to monitor the types of patients coming in and to give the program long-term direction. Both advisors are quick to emphasize that this is a student-run clinic and that the students have a great level of autonomy.
"Our biggest job is to help guide our students through," Dacko said. "Because they move on through the program and eventually graduate, it's difficult for those involved to have a long-term vision for the program. We try to bring all the different ideas together and ask, 'Where should this clinic go?'"
This January, Dacko will lead a group to the Society of Student-Run Free Clinics in San Antonio. Students will present on student outcomes based on their experience in the clinic.
"This is also about building the brand of the LVC PT department and getting our name out into the community," said Kyle Baiocchi, C.U.R.E.'s director of purchasing. "Dr. Dacko has indicated his desire to keep the clinic growing and potentially flourish that into something bigger in a separate building and in a more expansive role."
Developed in 2010 by the class of '11, the C.U.R.E. clinic opened in 2011 with the financial backing of college benefactor Dr. Jeanne Donlevy Arnold H'08. Arnold's pledged donation is set for $12,000 per year for three years – totals that Baiocchi says will sustain the clinic for years to come. All of the foundational equipment is in place and the necessary renovations to C.U.R.E.'s space in Lynch have been made.
One form of short-term expansion being discussed is group exercise classes that will be able to help multiple patients at a time. Teaching different techniques – including diet, posture, and stretching – can help patients become more proactive in their daily lives.
"You hear about common ailments all the time, all over the place: diabetes, hypertension," Johnson said. "A lot of people don't even know what these things are, especially in an uninsured population. They haven't been keeping up with health checks or speaking with a physician. We can in some of that education."

War No More? Rome Suggests an Answer
Mea culpa. No sooner had this page editorialized about the papal opposition to the U.S.-led effort to disarm Saddam Hussein than the Rev. Richard John Neuhaus e-mailed to say that the pope hadn't used the words "crime against humanity." Phone calls to Britain, where the comment was first reported, suggest that Father Neuhaus is right, that the phrase was a mangling of an earlier papal reference to a "defeat for humanity."
The broader point is that Pope John Paul II's words on the war have been more judicious than the language emanating from other corners of the Vatican. But the pope has not minced his words, either. In an address to military chaplains this week, he said that the "vast contemporary movement in favor of peace" is evidence that "war as an instrument for resolving conflicts" has been repudiated by the "conscience of the majority of humanity."
Catholics understand that not all papal utterances are invested with the same authority. If you dig far enough, you will even find that point confirmed by the head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, whose latest statement concedes that "people of good will may and do disagree on how to interpret just war teaching and how to apply just war norms to the controverted facts of this case."
Of far more concern, at least to papal admirers such as yours truly, is that the war statements appear to reflect not simply a disagreement over Iraq but a strain in John Paul's thinking that sits uncomfortably with 1,500 years of Catholic teaching on the legitimate use to force -- a teaching, moreover, that asks not when authorities have the "right" to use force but when they have the obligation.
John Paul's unease over the state's use of force was perhaps first evident in his earlier treatment of the death penalty: that while it may be acceptable in principle, the state now has alternatives that make it all but impossible to justify in practice.
The linkage is not only mine. In recent interviews, Archbishop Renato Martino, head of the Pontifical Council for Peace and Justice, explicitly says that classic just-war teaching may now be headed the way of the death penalty. When the National Catholic Register asked the archbishop if he meant by this that "there is no such thing as a just war anymore," his answer was unequivocal: "Absolutely."
The pope has not gone this far. But neither has he repudiated the more fantastic claims by Vatican officials. And in fairness to Archbishop Martino, the catechism's argument against the death penalty does anticipate some arguments against modern war -- e.g., that other avenues are available, or that the costs have become inherently disproportionate to whatever good end we hope to achieve.
It helps to remember that Karol Wojtyla looks at questions of force from the perspective of a man whose first-hand experience of the twin totalitarianisms of the 20th century taught him that modern violence has primarily been a function of state power. That the Soviet variant would be brought down in Poland by an unarmed trade union likely added its own lessons.
On its own, the visceral distrust of state power so pronounced in this pope is a healthy instinct. So too is an appreciation for the achievements of Solidarity in busting up the Berlin Wall. But there is a danger of distortion that comes from looking at Solidarity's role in isolation from other pressures, notably the Reagan administration's deployment of the Euromissiles and the Afghans' successful repudiation of the Brezhnev Doctrine.
In short, what we have lost here is a tremendous teaching opportunity. And if the Vatican's problem is, as Archbishop Martino suggests and the pope's own words at times imply, not simply Iraq but a larger discomfort with just war in a modern world, it raises even more questions. Namely, how President Bush can be held in breach of moral criteria that (a) are in the process of being radically revised and (b) really can't be met anyhow.
In another remark on Vatican Radio made on the eve of war, Archbishop Martino characterized the American response to Iraq as replying with "bombs to a people that has been asking for bread for the last 12 years." The Vatican role, by contrast, would be to play the "the Good Samaritan who kneels to tend the wounds of an injured, weak nation."
Which begs a question: If the biblical Good Samaritan had arrived on the scene a little earlier and stumbled on the robbers instead of their victim, what would have been his obligation?

Fearless Genius: The Digital Revolution in Silicon Valley, 1985-2000 (Hardcover)
On Our Shelves Now
An award-winning documentary photographer delivers a stunning visual history of the Silicon Valley technology boom, in which he was witness to key moments in the careers of Steve Jobs and more than seventy other leading innovators as they created today's digital world.
An eye-opening chronicle of the Silicon Valley technology boom, capturing key moments in the careers of Steve Jobs and more than seventy other leading innovators as they created today's digital world
In the spring of 1985, a technological revolution was under way in Silicon Valley, and documentary photographer Doug Menuez was there in search of a story something big. At the same time, Steve Jobs was being forced out of his beloved Apple and starting over with a new company, NeXT Computer. His goal was to build a supercomputer with the power to transform education. Menuez had found his story: he proposed to photograph Jobs and his extraordinary team as they built this new computer, from conception to product launch.
In an amazing act of trust, Jobs granted Menuez unlimited access to the company, and, for the next three years, Menuez was able to get on film the spirit and substance of innovation through the day-to-day actions of the world's top technology guru.
From there, the project expanded to include the most trailblazing companies in Silicon Valley, all of which granted Menuez the same complete access that Jobs had. Menuez photographed behind the scenes with John Warnock at Adobe, John Sculley at Apple, Bill Gates at Microsoft, John Doerr at Kleiner Perkins, Bill Joy at Sun Microsystems, Gordon Moore and Andy Grove at Intel, Marc Andreessen at Netscape, and more than seventy other leading companies and innovators. It would be fifteen years before Menuez stopped taking pictures, just as the dotcom bubble burst. An extraordinary era was coming to its close.
With his singular behind-the-scenes access to these notoriously insular companies, Menuez was present for moments of heartbreaking failure and unexpected success, moments that made history, and moments that revealed the everyday lives of the individuals who made it happen. This period of rapid, radical change would affect almost every aspect of our culture and our lives in ways both large and small and would also create more jobs and wealth than any other time in human history. And Doug Menuez was there, a witness to a revolution.
In more than a hundred photographs and accompanying commentary, "Fearless Genius" captures the human face of innovation and shows what it takes to transform powerful ideas into reality.

PORTSMOUTH — A mother from Wells, Maine, plead guilty Thursday to a child endangerment charge alleging she left her 6-month-old baby in a 117-degree car over the summer.
Renee Ramsey, 32, of 15 Bluebird Lane, pleaded guilty and was fined and ordered to attend a parenting class.The plea deal was struck in front of Judge Sawako Gardner in Portsmouth District Court.
Ramsey was alleged to have left her baby in a closed and locked Toyota Camry on Aug. 6 at the Lafayette Plaza in the area of West Marine. The outside temperature was 81 degrees at the time and the air temperature inside the car was measured at 117 degrees, police said.
An officer used a police baton to break one of the car windows to remove the baby, then placed the infant in an air-conditioned cruiser. The baby was transported by ambulance to Portsmouth Regional Hospital, was examined and released to its father.
Ramsey was charged with the misdemeanor shortly thereafter.
As a result of her guilty plea on Thursday, Ramsey was fined $1,200 with $800 suspended pending one year of good behavior.
She was also ordered to attend 12 parenting skills classes to be completed within one year. Ramsey must provide proof of her attendance to the state as well.
Representing Ramsey during her court hearing was attorney Anthony Rozzi.
