SIKESTON -- The Sikeston Bulldogs stunned SEMO Conference foe Jackson Indians with a 3-1 win on Thursday at the Sikeston Sports Complex.
The victory, the Bulldogs' third straight, avenged a 2-1 double overtime loss to the Indians in late September.
"It's big," said Sikeston coach Derrick Long, whose Bulldogs improved to 8
"What was so big about this was, we got down early and kept fighting and fought our way back."
Jackson (11-6-3) drew first blood with a header goal by Garrett Stone off a corner kick assist from Brian Davidson with 17:18 to go in the first half.
Less than a minute later, the Bulldogs knotted the score on Caleb Davidson's goal off an assist from Sam Rains.
On the evening, Davidson scored twice and assisted on a third goal.
"We moved Caleb up top, the first time he's played forward for us all year, and he scored two goals for us," said Long.
At the 12:43 mark, Davidson tallied his second goal, which proved to be the gamewinner, off a Chris Carnell assist.
Blake Taylor, Sikeston's leading scorer, deposited an insurance goal with 3:03 remaining in the half. Davidson assisted on the play.
Although outshot 24-12 by the Indians, Sikeston's newly-installed midfielders Timmy Hart and Carnell were instrumental in controlling the midfield while goalkeeper Scott Droddy recorded another double-figure save total with 10.
"Droddy fractured two knuckles last night (Fredericktown game)," added Long.
"We taped them up and he played well tonight. I'd say about eight of those (24) shots were from about 25 yards out and we want that against Droddy. He has great reflexes from side to side."
Long credited the recent upsurge in play to hard work on the part of the Bulldogs along with some scheme changes, but stopped short of saying the team was peaking.
"We've been working hard, trying to fill holes, trying new strategies," he said. "There are a few aspects of the game that we need to tweak, but, overall, I'm pretty pleased with it. I do think we're gelling a little bit, but we've got to improve so much more to even consider making a (playoff) run this year. I wouldn't say we're even close to peaking."
Sikeston's junior varsity (3-7-1) dropped a 6-1 decision to Jackson. Jordan Davis scored the lone goal with an assist from Mike Botkin.
The Bulldogs' JV and varsity are back in action today at Hillsboro.
The JV contest begins at 4 p.m. with the varsity game to follow.
"Things are kind of clicking a little bit right now and we're hoping it just keeps going," said Long.
"We've got two more games this week and that's good because we want to keep playing when it's rolling good."

Roosters, rattlesnakes back on county agenda
County officials say they're encountering efforts by some to run afoul of a limit on the number of roosters that can be kept.
Last year, the Board of Supervisors restricted roosters to one for properties a half-acre or smaller, and a limit of 20 for those with more than 5 acres.
The measure is aimed at keeping a lid on illegal cockfighting, which periodically surfaces in rural areas of the county.
But some unincorporated area residents have since claimed they're exempt from the limits because their roosters are part of a Future Farmers of America or 4-H Club project.
When the supervisors gather for their December business meeting on Tuesday, Supervisor Dianne Jacob is asking they direct staff to launch discussions with FFA and 4-H leaders to develop project restrictions.
"We don't think they (FFA and 4-H) want to be used as a tool for inappropriate actions or activities," said John Carlson, deputy director of the Department of Animal Services. "We want to get a consensus as to what would constitute a reasonable and appropriate number."
Jacob said she wants to make sure no one uses 4-H or FFA "as a cover to continue raising roosters for fighting."
The county has investigated 25 reported violations of the rooster ordinance since Jan. 1. Ten were amicably resolved, eight resulted in criminal citations and no violation was found in six of the complaints. One led to an impoundment after a finding of animal cruelty.
Those seeking 4-H and FFA exemption may be asked to agree for proof of membership, project documentation to include the specific number of birds and duration, and to agree to an on-site inspection.
"Our basic problem is that people who keep large quantities of roosters of often typically involved in cockfighting ventures," Carlson said. "There's very little use for roosters — they're necessary for reproducing chickens, but they're not necessary for a hen to lay eggs."
On another animal-related issue, supervisors are nearing final approval of an ordinance allowing animal trainers to keep up to two of the reptiles to teach rattlesnake avoidance techniques.
At least two dog trainers in the county use rattlers, and the ordinance would exempt them and others from a long-standing prohibition on rattlesnake possession. The law already makes exceptions for researchers and exhibitors.
When the ordinance came up in September, animal rights advocates argued some training techniques and treatment of the snakes is cruel. The objections centered on trainers who use shock collars on dogs as part of the training, according to Carlson.
There were also complaints the snakes are tormented by being placed close to dogs, and that removal of the snake's fangs to avoid mishaps is cruel and makes them vulnerable to predators.
Dr. Kay Henderson from the Del Sur Kennel Club has defended trainers' methods and estimated about 100 rattlesnake bites are treated by veterinarians each year.
The amendment to the wild animal ordinance requires trainers have a valid business license and liability insurance of at least $100,000.
If it wins approval, the waiver takes effect Jan. 3.

Lower Facelift for Premature Aging
I am 45 years old and have needed a facelift since my 40th birthday. That was when my age caught up with me and I experienced the sagging jowls, loose chin, and wrinkling skin typical of women 10-20 years older than me. It was like it happened all at once. I had a facelift in April and I can... READ MORE

ROCHESTER — After running uncontested, state Rep. Warren Groen won re-election Tuesday in District 10, which represents Ward 3.
According to unofficial results, which do not include write-in votes, Groen, a 57-year-old Republican, received 1,589 votes during Tuesday's election.
Since 2000, Groen has co-owned Groen Builders, Inc., with his nephews and brother Fenton Groen, the state senator in District 6.
Before the election, Groen said, "My goal is to reduce the rate of growth of government, shrink the government whatever possible, and control spending. The reach of government has far exceeded what the founders intended."

Exploration & Drilling Market Research Reports & Industry Analysis
Exploration and drilling are upstream activities in the oil & gas industry used to locate, characterize, access and produce from geological hydrocarbon deposits of petroleum (oil) and natural gas. The upstream sector of the oil & gas industry is also referred to through the synonymous industry term of exploration & production (E&P) or the activities of searching for, recovering, and producing crude oil and natural gas.
In the oil & gas industry chain, E&P companies utilize traditional strategies in exploration geophysics including gravity, magnetic, passive seismic, and seismic reflection surveys of subsurface geologies. Discovered features of subsurface geology suggestive of a hydrocarbon deposit constitute a "lead" that leads to more seismic profiling to identify a "prospect" reservoir. Exploration wells are then drilled to determine the features and extent of the prospect hydrocarbon reservoir. The staged process of upstream exploration activities is indicative of the high costs at each step, with investment in a particular area or field proceeding only when suitable leads and prospects are discovered.
Production drilling follows exploration surveying and drilling when a suitable prospect for oil and gas recovery is conclusively identified. A drill string and drill bit is used to drill an oil or gas well and is controlled from the surface drill rig. The drilled well is then completed in order to optimize the flow of oil or gas into the well casing so that primary production can commence. Future phases of secondary and tertiary or enhanced hydrocarbon recovery (EOR) can be facilitated through the drilling of injection wells.

Rich lists have always excited us, specially the global ones where we can these days spot many Indian names. But we couldn't find a billionaire list of only Indians. So that's what Economic Times decided to do, a list of 25 (and beyond) of Indian billionaires in India and all over the world.
The US purchasing power parity is about five times that of India's. A Seriously Rich person in the US is a billionaire. Says Sheth, "By this standard, any individual or family in India whose networth is more than $200 m should be considered a super-rich Indian." It is a surprise, and a pleasant one at that, that in our top 25 list of seriously rich Indians, even networths in the lower pecking order is three-times more than $200 million.

A New Look at Neck-Wear
On the first day of this season's Paris couture week, Bouchra Jarrar's 23-outfit collection lived up to the designer's reputation for minimalist and wearable clothes. The not-quite-newcomer has made her mark over recent seasons with her exquisitely cut pantsuits. This season, the French designer gave an extra spark of life to her beautifully crafted flannel pants and silk dresses with her signature accessory for this collection: a stand-alone collar.
Indeed, if scarves have been making a come-back in recent years, then it's probably fair to say that Bouchra Jarrar takes neck-wear — crossed-over or looped, made of fur or fabric – to a whole new level.
The sit-down presentation, held amongst the plaster and marble of sculptures by Emile-Antoine Bourdelle in a Parisian museum dedicated to his work, was as understated as it was tasteful. Ms. Jarrar, who spent almost a decade at Balenciaga and a year working for Christian Lacroix before setting up her own atelier, concentrated a large part of this season's collection on pastel gray-greens and nude-pink tones.

Any molecular entity that serves as an electron acceptor and electron donor in an electron transport chain. An electron transport chain is a process in which a series of electron carriers operate together to transfer electrons from donors to any of several different terminal electron acceptors to generate a transmembrane electrochemical gradient.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with heme, any compound of iron complexed in a porphyrin (tetrapyrrole) ring.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any metal ion.
Catalysis of the reaction: succinate + acceptor = fumarate + reduced acceptor.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with ubiquinone, a quinone derivative with a tail of isoprene units.
A nearly universal metabolic pathway in which the acetyl group of acetyl coenzyme A is effectively oxidized to two CO2 and four pairs of electrons are transferred to coenzymes. The acetyl group combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate, which undergoes successive transformations to isocitrate, 2-oxoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, succinate, fumarate, malate, and oxaloacetate again, thus completing the cycle. In eukaryotes the tricarboxylic acid is confined to the mitochondria. See also glyoxylate cycle.

They show us why we repeat ourselves—but they also give us the tools that might prevent future catastrophes."
—Robert J. Hughes, former Wall Street Journal reporter and author of Late and Soon

Whether you try to come up with a new dish at KFC, a special pie at Pizza Hut or a menu change at Taco Bell, you need to know your customer. Pendulum gives you that knowledge.

Its the experience of being physically and mentally present in the moment, where every sense is sharply attuned to the ride. Your body responds with precise, fluid movements; you feel in balance, your muscles are relaxed, and it seems as though every input you make is an expression of your mastery of the sport. Some people call this being in the groove or in the zone. This book shows you how to get there.
Written for early-intermediate to early-advanced riders, Riding in the Zone offers valuable insight into perfecting each riders own personal riding style for maximum enjoyment and satisfaction. In a clear, highly visual style with detailed diagrams and extensive full-color photos and illustrations, Condon identifies the many factors that help you enter the zone.

Midwest Rains Won't Dent Drought or Help Crops
The Midwest, where record amounts of rain fell in some places yesterday, may remain abnormally dry through the first week of August and the moisture probably won't be enough to help drought conditions there, forecasters said.
Flood advisories were still in force in North Dakota and Minnesota following the thunderstorms, according to the National Weather Service. The storms were local and didn't extend across the rest of the region.
It's possible rain will fall across a much larger area, including Iowa and Illinois, through the next week, said Joel Widenor, of Commodity Weather Group LLC in Bethesda, Maryland.
"This will ease moisture stress a bit, temporarily, in these areas, but will be insufficient for a major turnaround in soil moisture," said Widenor, co-founder of the company.
Corn and soybean crops are in their worst state since 1988 as drought covers at least 56 percent of the contiguous 48 U.S. states. The lack of a soaking rain in the forecast and the persistence of temperatures 5 to 8 degrees Fahrenheit (2.8 to 4.4 Celsius) above normal until at least Aug. 8 have contributed to a rise in prices.
The U.S. Drought Monitor, which measures the extent of drought nationwide, is scheduled to release an update tomorrow.
As of July 22, 26 percent of U.S. corn and 31 percent of soybeans were in good to excellent condition, the lowest for the date since 1988, according to the Agriculture Department.
In Fargo, North Dakota, 2.35 inches (6 centimeters) of rain fell yesterday an all-time high for the day that broke the old mark set in 1993, according to the Weather Service. A daily record 1.69 inches fell in Minneapolis, according to the agency. The rain caused minor flooding.
Iowa Heat
Farther south, in Des Moines, Iowa, today's high temperature is expected to reach 104 degrees and there is a slight chance of thunderstorms later today, according to the Weather Service. Chicago may reach 99.
While the heat remains fixed over the Midwest, there is a possibility that temperatures will rise about 3 degrees above normal in the U.S. Northeast from Aug. 4 to Aug. 8, according to Commodity Weather Group President Matt Rogers.
Computer modeling shows another heat wave may strike the East Coast during the week of Aug. 6, he said.
Heat in the large cities along the East Coast raises demand for electricity as people turn to air conditioners to cool off. The increase raises prices on the spot markets and for the fuels, such as natural gas, used to generate power.
The normal average temperature in New York for Aug. 1 is 78, according to MDA EarthSat Weather in Gaithersburg, Maryland. It's 74 in Boston; 80 in Washington; 85 in Houston; 76 in Chicago; 80 in Atlanta; 67 in Seattle and 76 in Burbank, California.

End-stage macular degeneration's end in sight
Get healthy
This column is written by health care experts and is committed to help improve the health of all San Diegans with preventative advice.
It is common for our eyesight to change over the span of our lives. But for some, it is much more serious than wearing reading glasses. Imagine gradually losing your eyesight to the point of not being able to recognize anything anymore. This is the disheartening reality for San Diegans who suffer from end-stage macular degeneration.
Macular degeneration is a degenerative disease affecting the macula or center of the retina of the eye. It results in progressive loss of central vision. Occurring most often among older people, it is the most common cause of vision loss in people over age 55. It is believed that both genetic and environmental factors influence this disease.
But there is hope for some. For the right candidate, a specialized technology that implants a miniature telescope (IMT) in the eye, could mean seeing a loved one's face again.
What's Involved?
The patient's existing cataract lens is removed using the same standard technique for regular cataract surgery, but then a larger opening is made to insert the miniature telescopic lens into the eye and place it where the cloudy cataract lens had been.
Recovery Time
Following surgery, there is a period of at least three to four months of healing and learning to use the vision provided by the telescopic lens. Because the image in the eye with the telescopic lens is magnified relative to the other eye, and because the peripheral vision in the telescopic eye is very limited, it takes time and training for the brain to learn to use the telescopic eye for central vision and the other eye for peripheral vision.
The Ideal Candidate
An ideal candidate for these implants is someone who is in stable health, mobile and motivated to do the yearlong, pre- and post-training necessary to fully utilize the IMT.
At a minimum, potential IMT patients must meet the following criteria to be considered for the procedure.
• They can't have had cataract surgery in the eye.
• They must have dry macular degeneration (not wet).
• They must have vision impairment (usually 20/100 or worse) that has potential for significant vision improvement with the IMT device.
Our specialists work as a team to assess each potential IMT candidate. This includes a retinal specialist to assess the health of the eye tissue in the back of the eye, a corneal specialist to see if the IMT would fit between the iris and cornea, a general ophthalmologic surgeon who implants the device, and an occupational therapist.
What is the success rate?
Approximately two-thirds of patients experience a significant improvement in vision that expands their activities of daily living and allows greater independence. However, the pre-existing damage from the macular degeneration will still greatly limit vision, and this implant does not allow people to resume driving or playing sports.
Dr. Peter Custis, chief of ophthalmology for Kaiser Permanente San Diego, developed the IMT protocols for the comprehensive program locally and has overseen the roll-out in San Diego.

New Alaska Books for Kids
My kids grew up with a dog-eared copy of the Cartwright and Gill classic, Alaska ABCs. They were born and raised in Alaska, and the book taught them a lot about the place they called home. Back then, there weren't many titles with that kind of relevance for them.
Boy, has that changed. The shelves of our bookstores now overflow with Alaskan children's books. Among the winners are two new titles from Sasquatch Books: Cherie Stihler's Wiggle-Waggle Woof, and Andrea Helman's Caribou Crossing.
Wiggle-Waggle Woof, a sled dog counting book, is illustrated by Michael Bania of Homer. Stihler's language, as always, is animated and delightful. The excitement of preparing for a sled dog race spills over into the fun of counting up to fifteen and down for the start. A two-page supplement on mushing gives parents and teachers plenty to discuss with young readers.
Colorful photos by Art Wolfe accompany Helman's text in Caribou Crossing, featuring animals of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The book is brimming with information about the refuge, where "the wild remains in wilderness." It's a timely offering that will help kids, their parents, and teachers understand all that makes ANWR special.

Chargers report card: Chiefs outgunned
Out in the cold
The Chargers went on the road to the frigid field of Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City to end their losing streak. Here's U-T sports columnist Nick Canepa's report card on how the Chargers performed, with links to more Chargers game day coverage.
Rivers gives valedictory address on the final drive. Simply brilliant.
Running backs
Mathews hurt again (what else is new). But Woodhead runs and catches well and Chargers actually go power near the end zone.
Allen may be offensive rookie of the year and why Green isn't playing more is a great question for your clergyman. Seyi Ajirotutu came through with the winning catch.
Offensive line
Rivers was sacked but once. This line has been a near revelation. But Fluker hurt on final extra point. Not good.
Defensive line
Liuget runs down Charles? But he got hurt at end of the game. Not good. Finally heard Reyes' name on sack near the finish. But guys were blocked a whole lot.
Te'o actually had a good game. Very active. Walker and Keiser had sacks.
Cox benched again. Just the worst group of DBs (apologies to Weddle) to play back there for San Diego. Couldn't cover me in the rain with a beach umbrella.
Special Teams
Kickoff coverage was horrible. Novak should not be the team's leading tackler.
Disagree with a lot of what McCoy did _ especially conservative play-calling on the second-to-the-last drive _ but if you score 41 points in Kansas City, you don't flunk out.
Next opportunity
Sun., Dec. 1, 1:25 p.m. at home against the Cincinnati Bengals — TV: CBS
If the Chargers can win in K.C., they can beat the Bengals at home. That's "can."
Additional coverage
- Seyi Ajirotutu lifts Chargers to upset
- Woodhead, Cox: 2 Chargers, 2 paths
- These Chargers won't be ignored

- Calkins: Alex Smith great, but can't beat Chargers

Panthers GM is confident Peppers will return
Published: Thursday, April 16, 2009 at 3:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 16, 2009 at 3:59 p.m.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Carolina Panthers general manager Marty Hurney remains confident defensive end Julius Peppers will return to the team next season, even as he's made public his wishes to play elsewhere.
In a pre-draft interview with reporters Thursday, Hurney said there were no new developments in the stalemate with their four-time Pro Bowl pick. The Panthers placed the franchise tag on Peppers. He has not signed the one-year tender for $16.7 million, however, and has said he won't sign a long-term deal with Carolina.
If a trade is not worked out, Hurney said he doesn't believe Peppers would hold out of training camp.
"We've known Julius for seven years, and it has been a good seven years," Hurney said. "I think he knows how we feel, and we feel like he's been happy here. And again, nothing has changed. We franchised him, and when we did we knew there was a period for the process to take place. When that process goes through then he's going to be back."
Under the non-exclusive franchise tag, another team could sign Peppers only by giving Carolina two first-round draft picks. The Panthers could trade him for less than that, but because he has not signed his tender, only agent Carl Carey can negotiate with other teams.
Carey did not immediately return a message seeking comment. Hurney said he hasn't been approached by Carey with a trade offer.
Peppers, who had a career-high 14½ sacks last season, is causing the Panthers other offseason headaches, too. Even though he hasn't signed the contract, the $16.7 million counts against Carolina's salary cap.
It's meant the Panthers have not been able to sign any free agents after they re-signed left tackle Jordan Gross. They've lost several backups to other teams and cut starting cornerback Ken Lucas and receiver D.J. Hackett to clear cap space.
"If you look, there are a lot of teams that I regard as successful organizations, and successful teams that have followed the same approach and aren't very active in free agency," Hurney said. "We've kept our nucleus together. We have a lot of starters back from last year. We have some young players who I think can help our depth.
"We feel good about the makeup of the team. We hope to help ourselves in the draft next Saturday."
The Panthers don't have a first-round pick in the draft thanks to last year's trade that netted starting right tackle Jeff Otah. That could change if a trade is worked out for Peppers.
But Hurney insisted that's not a priority.
"When we franchised Julius we did so with the intention of having him back," Hurney said, "and that's where it stands."

Edwin Anderson Walker, (born Nov. 10, 1909, Center Point, Texas—died Oct. 31, 1993, Dallas, Texas) (born Nov. 10, 1909, Center Point, Texas—died Oct. 31, 1993, Dallas, Texas) general (ret.), U.S. Army who , valiantly served in World War II as the leader of the "Devil's Brigade" commandos, who fought at the Anzio beachhead in Italy and in the invasion of southern France, but he later resigned (1961) from the army with the rank of major general after receiving a public admonishment for circulating right-wing literature to his troops in Germany and publicly asserting that former U.S. president Harry Truman, Eleanor Roosevelt, and former secretary of state Dean Acheson were all "definitely pink." Walker, a 1931 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., was decorated with the Silver Star, the Bronze Star with cluster, and the Legion of Merit for his outstanding combat record. During the Korean War he commanded the 3rd Infantry Division's 7th Regiment and served as senior adviser to the 1st Korean Corps. He later was military adviser to Chiang Kai-shek, leader of China's Nationalist government. Walker commanded the federal troops that were ordered (1957) to Little Rock, Ark., to enforce school integration. A member of the right-wing John Birch Society, Walker then began an active role in efforts to resist the civil rights movement in the South. After federal marshals were ordered to the University of Mississippi to quell riots and secure the admission of black student James Meredith, Walker was arrested on a federal warrant charging him with insurrection and seditious conspiracy. The charges were later dropped. A few months later he was the target of an unknown assassin (later identified as Lee Harvey Oswald), who fired a bullet that narrowly missed Walker's head as he sat in his study. In 1982 the pension that Walker had forfeited because he resigned rather than retired from military service was quietly reinstated by the army.

For 10 years the Elkins Marine Corps League has worked to ensure low income families have a merry Christmas. The local Toys for Tots program provides toys for children in nine different counties.
"We are still registering people and it looks like we are busier this year," Program Coordinator Roger Ware said. "There are a lot more people moving into the area."
The Toys for Tots program was started in 1947 when a Marine recruiter learned there were children not getting toys for Christmas. Now, the nonprofit organization has 800 coordinators across the nation, including several in the Mountain State.

Elkins Marine Corps League volunteer Mike McRae sorts toys donated by the Elkins Purple Majesties during their annual Christmas dinner.
Ware said members of the Elkins Marine Corps League Leland D. Crawford Detachment No. 956 are still collecting toys and accepting donations to purchase toys for families in need.
Ware said the group will continue to register families throughout the rest of the week and will be handing out collected toys to families next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The local program covers several counties including Randolph, Upshur, Tucker, Barbour and Lewis, and portions of Pocahontas, Greenbrier and Harrison.
The Marine Corps League has set up several collection sites throughout the area. Volunteers drive to the sites several times a week.
"We put in more than 1,200 hours of volunteer time," Ware said. "We have about 12 people helping in the project. We drive over 6,000 miles a year for this. Most of the guys drive their personal vehicles."
Ware said monetary donations to the program are used to buy additional toys to ensure as many families who need assistance receive it. He said the program spends an average of $7,000 a year on toys. Once registration for the program is complete the kids are divided into age groups. Once divided into age groups, the volunteers will see what is needed and purchase toys to make sure everyone receives a present.
"The majority of families are overjoyed," Ware said. "They are relieved that they can have Christmas for their kids."
Ware said the Elkins-Randolph County Airport allows the program to use the terminal as a staging area where families will pick up their toys.
Anyone interested in donating can do so at a collection site or visit www.toysfortots.org. For more information about the local program contact Ware at 304-636-4365.

Testicular Cancer Treatment (Professional) (cont.)
Stage I Testicular Cancer
Note: Some citations in the text of this section are followed by a level of evidence. The PDQ editorial boards use a formal ranking system to help the reader judge the strength of evidence linked to the reported results of a therapeutic strategy. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Levels of Evidence for more information.)
Stage I Seminoma
Stage I seminoma has a cure rate of greater than 95% regardless of whether or not postorchiectomy adjuvant therapy is given.
Standard treatment options:
Stage I Nonseminoma
Stage I nonseminoma is highly curable (>99%). Orchiectomy alone will cure about 70% of patients but the remaining 30% will relapse and require additional treatment. The relapses are highly curable, and thus post-orchiectomy surveillance is a standard treatment option, but some physicians and patients prefer to reduce the risk of relapse by having the patient undergo either a retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) or one or two cycles of chemotherapy. Each of these three approaches has unique advantages and disadvantages, and none has been shown to result in longer survival or superior quality of life.
Standard treatment options:
There is no consensus about the optimal management of men with stage I nonseminomas, but each of the three strategies above produces a disease-specific survival rate of about 99%. Some clinicians have advocated a risk-adapted approach such that low-risk patients undergo surveillance, while others undergo either RPLND or chemotherapy. The goal of such an approach is to minimize the side effects of treatment, but risk-adapted therapy has never been demonstrated to result in better outcomes. Some experts prefer a surveillance strategy generally so as to minimize unnecessary treatment. Others prefer RPLND to obtain more accurate staging, to reduce the risk of needing chemotherapy (and hence chemotherapy's side effects and toxicity) and to, theoretically, reduce the risk of late relapse. At the same time, many experts reject RPLND as insufficiently effective at lowering relapse rates and prefer chemotherapy. Surveillance and chemotherapy have been tested at the regional and national level with excellent results, whereas the limited data concerning RPLND in the regional setting have shown higher than expected in-field relapse rates but no deaths.[40,41]
With regard to risk stratification, data suggest that relapse rates are higher in patients with histologic evidence of lymphatic or venous invasion or a predominance of embryonal carcinoma.[17,27,36,37,43] Tumors that consist of mature teratoma appear to have a lower relapse rate.[44]
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with stage I malignant testicular germ cell tumor. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.

What is hepatitis A?
Hepatitis A (formerly known as infectious hepatitis) is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). The disease is fairly common, but has declined significantly in recent years.
Who gets hepatitis A?
Antibodies produced during a previous infection with HAV, or in response to immunization for HAV, protect against infection. Anyone who has not been previously exposed to HAV or the immunization can become infected and ill from the hepatitis A virus.
How is the virus spread?
The hepatitis A virus enters through the mouth, multiplies in the body, and is passed in the feces (stool). The virus can then be carried on an infected person's hands and can be spread by direct contact, or by consuming food or drink that has been handled by the individual. In some cases, it can be spread by sexual contact or by consuming water or food (e.g., raw shellfish, vegetables) contaminated by sewage.
What are the symptoms of hepatitis A?
The symptoms of hepatitis A may include tiredness, poor appetite, fever and nausea. Urine may become darker in color, and then jaundice (a yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes) may appear. The disease is rarely fatal and most people recover in a few weeks without any complications. Infants and young children tend to have very mild symptoms and are less likely to develop jaundice than are older children and adults. Not everyone who is infected will have all of the symptoms.
How soon after exposure do symptoms appear?
The symptoms may appear two to six weeks after exposure, but usually within four weeks.
How long is an infected person able to spread the virus?
The contagious period begins about two weeks before the symptoms appear. Most people are probably no longer contagious after the first week of jaundice. There is no carrier state.
Does past infection with hepatitis A make a person immune?
An individual who has recovered from hepatitis A is immune for life and does not continue to carry the virus.
What is the treatment for hepatitis A?
There are no special medicines or antibiotics that can be used to treat a person once the symptoms appear. Generally, bed rest is all that is needed for persons to recover from hepatitis A.
How can hepatitis A be prevented?
The single most effective way to prevent spread is careful hand washing after using the toilet, changing diapers, or before eating or preparing food. Avoid eating raw shellfish taken from potentially contaminated waters. Also, infected people should not handle foods during the contagious period.
Disinfection of 'clean' surfaces with a 1:100 dilution of household bleach in water (i.e., 1/4 cup of 5.25% bleach in 1 gallon of water) or cleaning solutions containing quaternary ammonium and/or HCl (including concentrations found in many toilet cleaners) are effective in inactivating HAV.

George Ulm, W9EVT was born in the Free City of Danzig in 1930. In the mid-1930s he moved to Chicago with his family. After W.W.II, he produced some of the first convention exhibits for the Radio Parts Show in the Windy City. His business later expanded to world's fairs and conventions such as the CES in Las Vegas and Chicago. George is a Korean Conflict veteran, taught electronics in the Navy Air Corps, developed and put on air the first two meter amateur repeaters in the mid west.
George has lived in Mexico, Europe, Africa and Australia with ham calls associated with each part of the world. In the early 1960s he purchased an apple and cherry farm on Washington Island, WI. At retirement he decided to raise antennas on the property instead of fruit. He lives there year round with his wife, Susan, his dog Bosun and a very talkative African Gray Parrot, B.B.

Spa Managment: Spa Week Strategies
In the spa world, "discounting" can be a dirty word, and certainly a tactic that savvy owners use sparingly. But during the economic recession, promotional price cuts and daily-deal sites became somewhat of a necessary evil to keep many spas afloat. Within the daily-deal fray, marketing platform Spa Week has rapidly risen in the ranks as a not-so-secret weapon for spa owners looking to drive new clients into their establishments.
Founder Cheryl Reid says the Spa Week concept derived from the need for an effective and profitable program that would bring new clients into spas that had sparse resources for advertising and marketing. "I thought, 'If we could figure out some way to drive in consumers in one fell swoop, it would change the industry for the better.'"
Inspired by the popular Restaurant Week event, which offers price-fixed menu offerings in eateries across the country, Reid soon devised a similar weeklong promotion that offered full-service spa treatments at participating spas for the discounted price of $50. Since its initial launch in the fall of 2004, the bi-annual event has attracted millions of new consumers to the spa, and become somewhat of a household term. As Spa Week's popularity grows, so has its roster of spa affiliates. "We get hundreds of spas participating in each event," says Breanna Crowley, director of operations, Spa Week Media.
From Swedish massages and mani-pedi combos to microdermabrasion and peels, price-conscious clients can indulge in luxuries they typically exclude from their budget, throughout one week during the spring and fall of each year. "Spa Week has allowed us to tear down the wall that separates the spa lifestyle from the everyday consumer," says Reid.
To help businesses get the most out of their experience, Spa Week staff navigates spa owners through the event with step-by-step assistance. They provide social media and email marketing resources, television and print advertising opportunities, in-store signage and treatment tips. "We are not just throwing a deal out there," explains Reid. "We are putting blood, sweat and tears into a marketing program that will work for each business." Costs to participate in Spa Week vary with the size of the business.
Over the years, veteran Spa Week participants have figured out a thing or two about how to maximize the event. DAYSPA chatted with some of the event's "regulars" for some insight on how they make it a revenue-generator. Here's their six-step plan for Spa Week success. —By Angela Melero

The Black Beauty Bar in the Hill District has Karaoke Night every Wednesday and Saturday of each week.
I was able to stop through over the weekend and check out the festivities. Everyone came out to get their shine on the stage and receive their 15 minutes of fame as stars for the evening.
It's always a good time when the regulars come together every week, so if you're not doing anything on Wednesdays or Saturdays, head on down to the Black Beauty Bar for a great time. You won't regret it.
You know Brotha Ash has a REAL CONNECTION to the community. Send all of your party and event information to firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll see you next week OUT AND ABOUT!
