Marshall Professors Create Groundbreaking New Test In Fight Against Cancer
Reported by: Kennie Bass
Videographer: Matt Durrett
Also Contributing: Larry Clark
It's called ChemoID, and it could represent a big step forward in cancer care.
Nearly a decade ago, two Marshall University professors met on this bridge, which connects the Science Building and the Byrd Biotechnology Center. That moment of serendipity, of blind chance bringing two people together, was the beginning of a relationship which led to combining research and work leading to revolutionary new way to fight cancer.
"It's a new paradigm in cancer treatment," Dr. Jagan Valluri, Marshall University professor said. "Simply because this particular assay that we developed is simply going to deliver great results in improving clinical outcomes. And more importantly there is a lessening of the financial burden on patients because the assay is going to select the right chemotherapy for that particular patient.
"A particular patient will respond to a certain drug better than another patient," Dr. Pier Paolo Claudio, Marshall University professor said. "Why is that? Because those cancers are, although they look the same, they are really different. You and I, we are different genetically, so is cancer. And so, therefore the different response is due to that. So our test is a functional test that is able to find, select correct drugs, more useful drugs for that individual patient. And deselect those that are not useful that would cause more harm than benefit.
Identifying the best treatment for cancer has long been the subject of comprehensive research. The Marshall professors developed their second-level test, which subjects cancer stem cells to a multitude of different medicines.
Claudio says clinical tests show ChemoID is very effective and accurate in predicting which chemotherapy drugs or combination of drugs work best in individual cancer patients.
Let me illustrate how ChemoID works using this deck of cards. Let's say each card is a federally-approved chemotherapy treatment against cancer and let's say you're diagnosed with lung cancer. So, your doctor picks a card. First generation testing is right about 60 to 70 percent of the time in choosing the right chemotherapy to deal with a general type of cancer. So, your oncologist picks this type of chemotherapy and it proves to be effective. But then another person is diagnosed with the exact same type of cancer. Their oncologist also prescribes this form of chemotherapy but it doesn't work on them. So the oncologist is forced to go to a second type, this drug which is a little bit more effective. What the ChemoID researchers say is that their second generation test finds the correct medication to deal specifically with your type of cancer. They say that ChemoID will save money, it will save time and most importantly it will save lives.
"We have introduced a novel part to this test which is testing the cancer stem cell population," Claudio said. "Which are the seeds of cancer, the roots of cancer. Just like normal tissue have stem cells, also cancer has stem cells. However, those are evil stem cells able to regrow and repair cancer following a failed chemotherapy. So if we leave those bad boys behind what happens is that cancer will recur. Our ability with this test is to select those cancer stem cells and grow them up so that we have material now to make a test and predict against cancer stem cells which chemotherapy will be more effective for selected patients, for individual patients.
"People have been trying to personalize chemotherapy," Valluri said. "Because chemotherapy, when you provide chemotherapy to a patient it is generally based on clinical trials on generalized populations. It's never specific to a patient group or subset of people. And so, what our process does is we minimize the trial and error by truly personalizing the chemotherapy and going after what we call the seeds of the cancer, the cancer stem cells. And so, the seeds of the cancer, if we can effectively target them and lower the load of the cancer stem cells there there is a greater clinical outcome."
Finding the best chemotherapy option for each individual cancer patient could save time and avoid the harsh side effects of chemo treatments which aren't most effective.
"Every person is different," Claudio said. "So because every person is different, although every single card could be a good play to be played, drugs that may work better, we can find the drugs that can work better for that particular patient and therefore play that card instead of a different card."
Clinical trials at the Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center showed very positive results. ChemoID has been used to help dozens of patients during the testing period. One patient is celebrating six years of treatments. That's six years longer than they were expected to live.
"By using the correct drug and by impacting more the cancer than the patient will in the end, prolong life and provide a better quality of life for patients," Claudio said.
ChemoID is not a cure for cancer. But, for people with lung, brain, spine and breast cancer, it represents finding their best chance at making their disease chronic instead of fatal.
Claudio says an additional benefit is that ChemoID could save money. He and his partner recently talked with Senator Joe Manchin about their research and how it could cut Medicaid costs if its implemented on a wide basis.
"First of all, the quality of life, the ability to extend a person's life that might be terminal," Manchin said. "But the other thing is the amount of money that would be saved from treating so many different things that doesn't have an effect.and being able to pinpoint what will be effective."
The researchers say your oncologist, your doctor, will still have the final say as to which medicine they want to use to treat your cancer.
However, ChemoID is an additional tool which could give both doctors and patients more information about the best path to take and could provide an additional edge leading to longer and better quality lives.
"It's gonna have an impact worldwide," Valluri said. "Because when you think about in the U.S. alone we spend 30 billion dollars on chemotherapy drugs. The cost of cancer in this country alone is over 210 billion and it is a tremendous financial burden on patients. What this assay does is truly personalizes the chemotherapy selection. You're not only reducing toxicity improving patient outcomes and reducing costs. So, there's many facets to this technology."
"By using this test," Claudio said. "Oncologists can have a new pair of glasses that magnifies drugs that are working for that particular patient and can provide a benefit to the patient better than other drugs that wouldn't.
Cabell-Huntington Hospital is planning to implement the new ChemoID cancer screening this fall.
The test's creators say they hope to share the ChemoID technology with the hospitals across West Virginia, the nation and eventually the world.

My traveling golf league headed north of the border this week. Our destination was Ottawa Lake, Mich. The course we played is called The Legacy, by Arthur Hills. I can attest to the fact that Mr. Hills built a beautiful golf course.
The Legacy features bent grass greens and fairways. The course has five lakes, one of which has a green located in its midst. The eighth hole measures 126 yards from the white tees. Normally when a par 3 plays that short it is considered easy. When you have to land on and stay on an island green, well, it becomes decidedly more difficult.
I'm not sure about the handicap structure used at The Legacy. The eighth hole is the third most difficult one according to the scorecard. I realize that the island green is intimidating, but even if you find the water you get to use the drop area, which is located on the island. A bogey is likely, double at worst. To me a tough hole is one that you can post double figures on.
At the other end of the spectrum, the easiest hole, according to the charts, is No. 11. This hole is a par 5 that plays over 500 yards. With tree issues to the left, plenty of fairway bunkers and another around the green, a big score is possible here.
Despite the questionable handicaps, The Legacy is a very nice layout. The bent grass greens were very quick and some of us (all right me) had difficulty adjusting to the speed. The bent grass fairways were nice, but I prefer a little more grass. It would appear that I don't like to take divots when the fairways look like the greens. I mean who wants to tear up grass like that!
As we drove up to the clubhouse, I couldn't help but think about the name of the course. When I think of the term legacy, it suggests that it is what one remembers about a person or place. We will all leave behind some sort of legacy to all those people we have come in touch with. Whether it is a positive or negative legacy remains to be seen.
One thing that is certain is the fact that if something negative happens to you, that will likely be what is remembered. When you think of former President Richard Nixon, what first comes to mind? If you say anything other than Watergate, you are in a small minority.
College football coaches Jim Tressel and Joe Paterno are likely to have a legacy that will forget all the wins. What will be remembered are the scandals that marked their last months at Ohio State and Penn State. Perhaps that may not be fair, but that is the way of the term.
As for the legacy of The Legacy, one thing stands out for me. Our round of golf took more than five hours to play. We got behind some sort of outing and they were not very fast. Waiting on every shot is not a lot of fun. If anyone in that outing is reading this, here's a tip: When cart partners don't play cart golf (that would involve one player going well left, while the other goes well right), drive to one of the balls and drop the guy off. Then go to your ball. Each player hits his next shot and you can reunite later. Play goes so much faster if you play ready golf.
Though the length of the round is what I am likely to think of first, The Legacy is still a great golf course. We had a few trick shots in our group. One of my playing partners hooked the ball left on a hole where the fairway doglegged to the right. He hit a tree and it shot straight right. Had it gone left who knows how big a score he might have posted.
I might have topped that with my drive on the final hole. The 18th requires a lengthy drive over one of those five lakes. There is a bailout area to the right, but I still have some length left and I'm headed over the water. My effort landed about a yard short of clearing the lake, but one little skip and I'm on dry land. I knew I could clear the water!
As for my legacy at The Legacy, it comes down to the birdie putt I had on No. 15. A good drive and a towering 7 iron put me 5 feet from the coveted birdie. On a course that had the fastest greens we have played all season, I managed to leave the putt an inch short ? and of course, right in the jar. Maybe I should call it my "lag"acy.
I do believe we put too much emphasis on one's legacy. We all tend to care about what others think of us though. As for me, I remember a sign posted on the wall of a watering hole I once visited. It read "everyone brings joy to this establishment ? some when they enter, and some when they leave."
I just hope that my legacy will put me in the former group.

Life is a mix of good and bad, of achievements and mistakes, thus it's often hard to assess someone's place in history immediately after death.
But for Joe Paterno, his remarkable record, his commitment to education, his long tenure at Penn State and the values he instilled in his players and others make that task easier.
Paterno gained a special place in the hearts of Penn State faithful during his 46-year tenure with his teams' successes, his signature style, his dedication to his players and his love of the university.
Those qualities even earned Paterno unqualified respect from the teams and fans he coached against.
For all of the collegiate educators and football coaches, there will never be another JoePa.
That's why Paterno's death Sunday morning made national news all day on Sunday and carried front pages of newspapers across the country on Monday.
While people remember all of the good things about the winningest coach in Division 1-A football, like all of us, Paterno's record wasn't spotless. There were years in which his teams faltered. There were times when people said he was too old to coach and should retire. And, regrettably, the darkest mark was the thing that finally ended his career, the still-unfolding Jerry Sandusky child sexual assault scandal.
On Nov. 9, as questions emerged about Penn State's and Paterno's handling of allegations surrounding a reported 2002 incident in a university locker room, the Board of Trustees decided the iconic coach had to go.
It's a decision that has divided the Penn State community and observers.
In the book of Paterno's life, this chapter remains unwritten. It's too raw and emotional now. It will take time and more details from the upcoming trials to accurately and unemotionally gauge what history ultimately will say.
But it's clear that the overall book on Paterno's life is one we should be celebrating.
JoePa was a remarkable man, who achieved greatness on his own and instilled the drive to achieve greatness, both on and off the field, in his players. His loyalty to Penn State was obvious through both his financial support and by his unwillingness to leave for other, better-paying jobs.
As people mourn Paterno, perhaps the greatest tribute we can offer is to emulate the best of him in our daily lives.

The Belkin @TV Plus is designed to stream video from your home to anywhere in the world. It's got a set of video inputs, so you'd plug something that's already decoded the broadcasts into it, such as a Sky box. It's also got a set of video outputs, so that you can then pass that video to your TV to watch there as well.
The @TV Plus box connects to the network over Wi-Fi or Ethernet to stream the video it receives to the Belkin TV apps. The apps are free to download for desktops and iPad, but iPhone users will have to pay £12.99 for the privilege.
When you consider that the comparable SlingPlayer apps for Slingbox streams cost £20.99 for iPhone and then another £20.99 for iPad, this doesn't seem such a high price.
Setting up the @TV Plus was easy enough - it needs an Ethernet wired connection to your router to begin with, though, which can be inconvenient. It's a step-by-step process after that, in which you tell it what set-top box you have and create an account to connect your client apps to, and can choose to switch to Wi-Fi for future use.
The reason you need to tell it what type of set-top box you have is so that you can control your TV service from elsewhere. The @TV Plus uses infrared transmitters to take the place of your remote control, with you using on-screen controls in the apps instead.
This is where the @TV Plus hits its first hurdle - we used it with BT Vision, and the remote control it offers for that set-top box just doesn't have all the buttons it really needs. It's fine for watching live TV, but you can't access anything you've recorded, for example, or see BT's on-demand service.
It's also often frustratingly slow to respond to input. The time between hitting a control on the screen to it changing in the video was often 10 seconds. That's an incredibly long time to wait for a button press, especially if you're flicking through an electronic programme guide.
The actual on-screen remote is fairly easy to get to grips with, though. It's divided into offering different functions in different tabs: one for changing channels, one for the menu and one for DVR functionality. There's also a popup control panel for when you're watching video, which features the @TV Plus's extra little trick: a record button.
You can actually record the video stream from your @TV Plus at any time directly to your device. Alas, it's less helpful than it sounds. You can choose to record for a set length of time, but on iOS devices, it can't do this in the background, so you'd have to have the show playing anyway. Still, there's also a pause button, which is more useful.
When we tried recording shows, we noticed that the audio slipped slightly out of sync on one of the clips, but in general, the @TV Plus does a good job of streaming. There tends to be a lot of buffering near the start, but once it gets going, the quality and integrity of the video can be good.
Though the @TV Plus has its niggles, it ultimately works. We still have a problem with it, but it's the concept, not the execution. It feels stuck out of place to us. It doesn't have HDMI, for example, so the one-cable convenience we've all gotten used to is out of the window. It's literally an analogue box in a digital world, and the result is that it seems like more hassle than it's worth.
We were already watching TV online through TVCatchup, Sky Player and the like, and we didn't have to buy an extra box to do it. The Belkin doesn't put up enough of a case that we should be using it instead.
But, as we said, it's easy to set up and works fairly well, so if you want to stream from your settop box, it's worth a look.

If Hampton Fancher did nothing else, he would still be esteemed by cinephiles worldwide for authoring the original screenplay for "Blade Runner."
Ponder the significance of that for a moment. As author Paul M. Sammon explains in the fascinatingly in-depth production history, "Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner," it was Fancher who first bought the rights to Philip K. Dick's story "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" (As he told Sammon, "I immediately saw a chase movie, with a detective after androids in a dystopic world.")
Fancher, then, set in motion one of the greatest – if not the greatest – science fiction films of all-time.
And if his name is remembered far less than director Ridley Scott's, his role in bringing to life Dick's tale of Deckard, the replicant hunter, must be acknowledged, and respected.
Fancher's recently released literary debut, a short-story collection called "The Shape of the Final Dog and Other Stories," is not "Blade Runner." Nor is it "The Minus Man," Fancher's woefully underseen 1990s directorial debut. ("Minus" is a wonderfully creepy serial killer thriller starring a shockingly effective Owen Wilson.)
"The Shape" is instead an unremarkable collection of oddities, a brisk but wholly unmemorable 280-plus pages.
Take "Cargot," the tale of a wannabe actor – "Way back when he was big, I knew Troy Donahue" – who dies and comes back as a garden snail. "I hear Troy is gone," he says, "but I'm still here, and today I come out of my shell."
He finds himself in the garden of a Hollywood executive he once knew, an agent named Barkus. They have history.
"Barkus talked like I was going to be a star," the snail pontificates. "One of those short-lived enigmas who flame out fast and become legends, I guess. Who knows? But I was never fast, never caught fire."
Now, he is slowly, steadily, approaching Barkus' wife Gloria, a former high-class call girl. He squirms onto her foot, then her upper thigh, then her stomach, then her breast. But then Barkus appears …
It's a one-joke story – clever, yes, but not particularly funny, nor illuminating or original. In short, it epitomizes what's wrong with "The Shape of the Final Dog": It's a formless, shapeless mass that ultimately goes nowhere. Just like our friend the snail.
"The Climacteric of Zackary Ray" is better, another tale of a failed actor, this one adept at playing bad guys, but as his career lurched along, he became washed up: "… except for a couple DUIs, he couldn't get arrested."
This, too, heads to an odd, not particularly enticing place – literally, I mean, to a small desert town – but its lead is more compelling than the snail.
"The Black Weasel" is a story in two parts, a rambling tale about a bartender and man "following [him] like a dog," named Mot. It's the longest and most complete, of Fancher's stories, and also the most emotionally affecting.
There are eight others, and they vary in quality and interest level. They are always readable, but nothing more.
Fancher should not forever be held to the standards of "Blade Runner" and "The Minus Man," but they nevertheless create an expectation of greatness that is hard to escape.
"The Shape of the Final Dog" is not, after all, the first work from a Ph.D. candidate, or a bored math teacher. It's the humdrum first literary effort from a writer capable of greatness, and that's just not good enough.
To quote a beloved replicant, "I've seen things you wouldn't believe" – many courtesy of Hampton Fancher. Let's hope the author can make us feel that way again.

Andy Moore recently returned from the Worlds in Japan, where he ran the HB R8 1/8th on-road race car against the world's best. Here's his report on how he and teammate Teemu Leino did!
This year the 1/8th Nitro On-Road World Championships were held just outside Tokyo in the city of Chiba, Japan. This race was the first official race for the soon to be released HB R8.
The team arrived at the track on Friday so we were able to make our final car preparations and also finish up cutting bodyshells and tyres ready for practice on Saturday and Sunday.
Unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side and Saturday was a complete wash out. Practice got underway on Sunday and everything ran smooth for us and the new R8 felt good on track. Monday was also a practice day and we used these runs to make a few small adjustments and to tune/choose our best race engines ready for qualifying.
Qualifying started on Tuesday but with a typhoon forecast for later in the week we were to run to an adjusted schedule. As track conditions seemed to be getting progressively slower as the days passed it turned out that these first 2 qualifying rounds were the only chance to get a super fast run.
Unfortunately I had a mistake in what turned out to be the 'rocket round' and a couple of other small issues left me pole in the 1/8 final. Teemu ended up in the ¼ final. But with neither of us having had a solid clean run in qualifying we were confident of bumping up.
Luck really wasn't on my side for my final and I flamed out on the starting grid. Having to start from the pit lane I was ¾ of a lap down before I even got underway and another flame out later in my run ended my chance to bump up.
Teemu however had 2 great runs and was able to bump up into to the main final eventually finishing up 7th overall. A great finish for the debut of the new HB R8.
We'd like to thank the guys at RedRC.net for the use of their excellent photos from the Worlds!

A Cheap Shot from Utusan Malaysia!
Seorang penganalisis politik yang rapat dengan Gerakan, Khoo Kay Peng pula menyalahkan golongan muda berusia bawah 40 tahun yang dilihat cenderung untuk menyokong Anwar.
Golongan muda yang disifatkannya tidak mengenang jasa pemimpin negara pada masa silam yang telah banyak berbakti, katanya, menjadi punca kekalahan BN kali ini.
''Golongan muda terlalu taksub dengan Anwar. Mereka tidak ada ingatan masa silam terhadap apa yang dibuat oleh BN selama ini.
''Mereka lihat janji PKR untuk pembinaan negara. Mereka undi kerana terpengaruh dengan manifesto parti itu," katanya dalam temu bual program Analisis Pilihan Raya di Astro Awani malam ini.
Those who watched Astro Awani last night would have realised that this Malay chauvinist paper has made intentional misrepresentation in their article.
First, how can I be close to Gerakan when it was obvious that its Penang Legal Bureau chief had taken an injunction to stop my book launch and the case is still pending in court of appeal.
Second, how can I fault those under 40 years old for voting against the racist, corrupt and unreliable party?
I said that those under 40 years old have voted against racial politics. It is evident that these voters have placed nation building on a higher priority compared to communal interests. They wanted good governance, accountability and a non-corrupt government.
This is a cheap shot by a paper which is trying to misrepresent my views.
Shame on you! You did not even bother to call me up for my comments because you know that I would say I am ecstatic about the results. I have told my friends that the momentum for reform is steady and smooth and we are looking forward to get into the thick of things.
Shame of you again, UMNO mouthpiece!
Thanks for your prompt. I will not even bother to correct them. This is done intentionally and I can understand how Anwar feels when he was misquoted and misrepresented the same. In the end, truth will prevail.
I have send a feedback to Utusan Online editor and reminded him of his lack of editorial integrity.

for me, this government don't want to show to 'rakyat' they are weak. but they are!!!

Yes I was very surprise when I read that part of the news from the paper that I did not buy, but make a habit of reading the headline until I saw that article.
Luckily, you corrected it, for sure I would have asked you why you of all people would have said that.
You must be famous for Utusan to consider your point even if it is not from you.
I wonder what they ge for lying all this while, it must have become a habit, and they tend to believe it to be true everyday.
PITY THEM .. we must
Just don't read and buy Utusan Malaysia, they are not credible at all.

I feel sorry to hear this but i am not surprise.
It is famous for distorting news and intentionally mispresent certain views for the sake of themselves.
It has lost its credibility and it is no longer a channel for news perhaps a breeding ground for hatred.
lack of editorial integrity? thought this applies only to bloggers? ha2, there you go aaign, BN.
- amoker said...
Kay peng, I am equally disgusted. Have lodged my personal complain to Zainon ( Sun ) and Chun Wai ( Star). I am nobody but the news are so skewed.
Well, sue them and let them apologize. Serious, they wanted to teach bloggers ethics and this is a evident that it is the same for MSM. Double standards.

The comment is already senseless... saying those below 40 year old "tidak mengenang budi".
Not sure what it had hoped to achieve by saying that, apart from tarnishing your image.
Other than that, would those under 40 years old suddenly remember the "bakti" from BN? Think not...
It is about being relevant. It doesn't matter if a party has contributed a lot to the country in the past.
Once it becomes corrupt and no longer able to contribute to the benefit of the people, the people has the right to vote them out.
If what has been done in the past can be used, then what is the point for election... BN can just appoint itself as "honarary government" for life!!
I knew it something is so wrong with this paper. Not even sure if it should be called a newspaper anymore. All the stories they had were just fabrication. Mayve they are just too stupid to differentiate between news and fiction. Look at the quality of bahasa they use. I can find 100 students that can write better than them.

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. – The Niagara Purple Eagles were short-handed Thursday night, which made it difficult for them to pull off yet another dramatic comeback.
Niagara lost its second in row, falling to Rider before 1,603 at Alumni Gymnasium, 72-69. The Purple Eagles played without leading scorer Antoine Mason (18.9 points per game). He injured his ankle in a double overtime loss to Loyola last Saturday at the Gallagher Center.
Ameen Tanksley helped fill the void by scoring a career-high 29 points with seven rebounds, while Marvin Jordan had 11 points for Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference-leading Niagara (14-10, 10-3).
Juan'ya Green had five assists in 40 minutes but was limited to seven points and just one field goal.
NU led 30-26 at halftime, but the Broncs used a 10-2 blitz early in the second half to go ahead for good. On three occasions, Rider (13-12, 8-5) led by 10. NU rallied to beat Iona and Canisius in games last month in which it trailed by 10 in the second half.
Niagara pulled within six (67-61) with 1:02 left on a Jordan three-pointer. Malcolm Lemmons' trey made it a four-point game (68-64) with 32 seconds left but the Broncs made four free throws to survive a three and a layup by Tanksley.

Members of Dallas Latino musical group La Estrella injured in Oregon in car accident
Oregon State Police say members of the Dallas Latino musical group, La Estrella, were injured Monday in a car accident near La Grande, Ore. as they headed home from Washington state.
Eleven people were injured, four seriously, reports KEPR-TV in Washington. Gilberto Hernandez, 34, was driving a van pulling a trailer and drove off the eastbound shoulder of Interstate 84. The van rolled down a steep embankment 50 feet below the freeway.
Investigators believe driver fatigue may have been a factor in the accident.
A senior trooper helped seven van occupants without serious injuries lift the van off a man identified as Pablo Osorio who had been ejected and was trapped under the van. Osorio and three others were transported from the scene to area hospitals. Seven were later transported for medical evaluations.

Ready to get rid of spider veins?
Ambulatory (micro) phlebectomy is a procedure that removes and disrupts varicose veins through a series of tiny (micro) skin incisions.
We typically use this procedure to treat large bulging varicose veins in the following patients:
Ambulatory (micro) phlebectomy is performed on an outpatient basis. We can perform this procedure at the same session as an endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) procedure or at a different time.
After the leg is prepped and draped using sterile techniques, the skin around the varicose veins is numbed with local anesthetic. We then remove/disrupt the varicose veins through a series of tiny (micro) incisions utilizing special hooks. The large bulging veins are then removed. When we are done, small pressure dressings are applied to the incisions and the patient is instructed to wear a thigh-high compression stocking for two weeks.
Long-term results of this safe, effective procedure have been shown in the medical literature (and in our own practice) to be excellent.

Franzen could quite possibly be the worst fighter in the NHL, but if he went buckets and gloves off with Backes I'd lose my s***. Franzen has punked Backes a few times, hitting him or punching him and Backes lays on the ice looking for a call, it'd be pretty good to see em go.
As far as the spear, it was pretty funny. Gutty and everything, but it's Franzen guys, the gloved punch king. As long as he isn't the one diving it's a win for Detroit.

MURPHYSBORO — A southern Illinois man was sentenced to 100 years in prison after he was convicted first-degree murder for the shooting death of a 20-year-old former Marion High School football standout.
The (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan reports Kely Arbuckle of Murphysboro was sentenced Wednesday. The 26-year-old will have to serve the entire sentence, barring a successful appeal.

I know eavesdropping is rude, but sometimes I can't help it.
Like when some bozo is bellowing into a cell phone in the booth behind you, it's hard to ignore the rant about his Mazda transmission being toast--and Amy Lou's packed on 20 pounds, dude!
The funny thing is, I'm literally half-deaf (half in one ear, half in the other) and wear two hearing aids, but I overhear conversations all the time. I can't make out what the preacher is saying from the pulpit, but can hear a soft voice saying "Remember Granny's moonshine?" 15 feet away. It's weird.
Important Note: It's not just me who's the eavesdropper in our house. Last week my husband heard me announce—to the dog, no less—"Whoops, we're out of Band-Aids."
He came around the corner with book in hand, reading glasses on his head and caution in his eyes. "Why does the dog need a Band-Aid?" he asked, cautiously. (My husband, you may have guessed, is a cautious man.)
"She doesn't. I do. I have a blister," I replied.
"Then why did you tell Nicky we were—never mind," he sighed. He knew he didn't want to hear the answer, which would be something along the lines of, "Well, why WOULDN'T she want to know?"
Here are just a few overheard (and partly heard) lines that have come my way recently. And it's not like I hang out in weird places; I haven't been to a biker bar in years. (Long story, that.) You can hear the most amazing things in a drugstore, at the airport, waiting in line or sitting in the vet's office.
"…. afraid of hogs since she was four."
"Her husband found out she was cheating when he saw another man's name tattooed on her rear."
"I can't eat artichokes. They actually make me choke."
"Ray Romano—isn't he that red-headed guy?"
" …. prayed for Teddy Kennedy."
"I haven't liked cats since Uncle Julius died."
"…. It's a fruit compote, how hard can it be?"
"Did you know you can't mail a live snake?"
"… a 20-pound test line!"
"He won't admit it, but I KNOW who he voted for."
"Heartburn is in your head."
"… never was his kid."
"Doctor Oz says hang upside down like a bat."
The funniest thing I think I've ever overheard was months ago, in the parking lot of the Bi-Lo grocery on Orangeburg Road. I walked by two men deep in conversation next to a beat-up pickup truck. One was about 20 years older than the other.
Just as I passed the older man growled, "I want your refrigerator off my porch, boy. I got better places to keep my beer."
You know how sometimes the planets align and all the elements fall into place and you witness something you realize is the funniest thing you will ever see or (over)hear? That was this. A perfect moment.
My knees buckled and my eyes rolled up--if I hadn't been wearing sunglasses I'd have been a goner. By the time I staggered into the vestibule, I had one hand clapped over my mouth and was shaking with suppressed hysterics.
I grabbed the handle of a grocery cart and doubled over laughing. Naturally, people gave me a wide berth, like I was drunk or crazy.
I haven't laughed that hard since—well, ever. I still wonder about that fridge. And the beer.

Diners across the country will have one fewer salad bar to peruse with their lunch or dinner, as Ruby Tuesday announced it will close nearly 100 restaurants by the end of the year. [More]
Ruby Tuesday Closing 95 Underperforming Restaurants
Ruby Tuesday Will Pay You Fifty Cents To Eat This Sandwich
The economics of the restaurant business are strange and confusing. But Dave writes that he couldn't help but find this deal at Ruby Tuesday amusing. You can have a nice salad bar lunch for $7.99…or some mini sandwiches or burgers and fries along with salad bar access for $7.99. After 3 p.m., the price for the salad bar goes up fifty cents…but the price of the sandwiches does not.
UPDATE: Ruby Tuesday Says Man Ordered Fatal Crab Dish
Yesterday, we reported that Rodney Hawkins, who was allergic to shellfish, died after eating an entree containing crab meat which was mistakenly brought to him at a Ruby Tuesday restaurant in Lovejoy, GA.. According to AJC, Ruby Tuesday denies any wrongdoing and says that the man actually ordered the chicken and crab meat dish called the "Chicken Oscar" which triggered the fatal allergic reaction. Rodney's widow, Linda Hawkins, disagrees. Details, inside…
Wrong Order Kills Customer At Ruby Tuesday
The AJC reports that a 35-year-old man who was allergic to shellfish has died from eating the wrong entree at a Ruby Tuesday restaurant in Lovejoy, GA. Rodney Hawkins, a local rapper, went into anaphylactic shock after he ate crabmeat contained in a chicken dish. He had ordered the Chicken Fresco, but the Chicken Oscar was brought to him by mistake. He collapsed inside the restaurant. Details, inside…
Consumerist On Marketplace
We had a lil' soundbite on American Public Media's Marketplace tonight for a story on Ruby Tuesday's installation of "ultra-secure" credit card transactions. (Remember, just because it's broadcast nationally on public radio doesn't mean it's NPR…)

Did you give thanks on Thursday for all the blessings that have been bestowed upon you? If you are like me, you probably did just that before settling down for a turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday that allows us to realize just how fortunate we are. If there is one negative to Thanksgiving, other than the copious amounts of turkey that we consume, it is that we only celebrate it one day each year. We should not need a holiday to remind us of how lucky we are to have friends and family that mean so much to us. Actually, we should give thanks every day of the year.
As you get ready to dive into those turkey leftovers for the third straight day, let me tell you what I am thankful for. As with most people, it starts with family. I have a wonderful wife and two great kids. Family ties on both my side, and my wife's side of the family are very strong. We are fortunate that my mother-in-law is still with us. It is always a joyous occasion when our families get together.
I managed to celebrate yet another birthday the day before Thanksgiving, and when you get to my age. it is always a good idea to be thankful for your health. Good friends are hard to come by and I have some of the best you can imagine, and for that I am very thankful. I think you get the idea.
As far as bowling goes, I have many things to be thankful for also. Just being able to bowl at my age is a blessing. I know of many people who have not reached my age that have had to give up the sport due to physical problems. Though my game is often problematic, the fact is I get to keep doing it week after week. For that I am grateful.
One of the things that I am most appreciative of is my bowling teammates. It is such fun to be around them, swapping stories and trading quips. I look forward to seeing them each week, even if I'm not so sure how the bowling is going to go.
Finally, I can say that I am thankful that I am not Rich Yates Jr. Yeah, yeah I know. It may not be the nicest thing I can say about someone, but hear me out. Just ten days ago, I was wishing that I was Richie. Now, I don't want to be. Here's why:
Last week in the Wednesday Morning League, Rich fired a perfect game. Every bowler wants to be able to say they have a 300 game on their resume. I am still waiting for mine. To the best of my calculations, I have bowled approximately 5,000 league games. Nary a perfecto for me though. Now you know why I wanted to be him, at least for a while.
Five days later in the Sportsman League, Richie again strung together 12 straight strikes for another perfect game. Two 300's in five days? You have got to be kidding me. I have none in 35 plus years and he gets two in less than a week. Now you know why I'm thankful that I'm not him. Or do you?
When you start having that much success, your teammates will start expecting it. My teammates, bless their hearts, would really let me have it if I had games like, well, like the 127 I shot this week. Two perfect games in less than a week? Who wants that kind of pressure?
In all seriousness, I would like to congratulate Rich Yates Jr. for his outstanding accomplishment. I think it's awesome. By the way Richie, if you want to share some of that perfection magic with others like me who seem to be a little less fortunate, at least bowling wise, I would really be thankful.
It's hard to start with anyone else but Rich Yates Jr. this week. His perfect game in the Sportsman League led to a 768 series. He was followed by Greg Tiell with 700, Phil Neikirk 679, Scott Hartsel 656, Harry Smith 647, Mike Kisabeth 630, Rustan Burks 606 and Ken Butturff Jr. 603. Wednesday Morning League scores included Steve Norman 717, Tyson Shope 662, Harry Smith 660, Paul Landers 615, Mark Huffman 568 and Cheryl Radin-Norman 406. Tim Sturgill shot 603, Tim Bollenbacher 588, Tom Tiell 577, Janice Young 532 and Marie Meyer 434 in the Sunday Night Rock N Roll League. In the Twilight League Ed Conrad shot 674, Steve Davis 644, Kevin Fitch 597, Rhonda Fitch 517, Robin Brownell 460 and Katie Young 321.
Steve Steinmetz Jr. fired a 762 series to lead the Imperial-Majorette League. Ben Hoyda shot 591, Steve Steinmetz, Sr. 548, Deb Nominee 545, Rhonda Fitch 543 and Linda Brookes 444. Robin Dickman shot 614, Kate Reser 502, Lorrie Williams 497, Janet Houk 491 and Diane Hoover 481 in the Alley Cats League. Scores from the Big 8 League included Rich Yates Jr. 691, Mark Baxter 684, Hank Jasso 662, Chris King 640, Jim Ross 640, Ben Hoyda 636, Mike Shock 617, Ken Bauman 608, Mike Carroll 605, Yazu Wilson 604 and Jack Book 600. In the Rocket League Dave Jones had 583, Dave Coppus 569, Paul Landers 560, Steve Norman 559, Beth Jones 556, Dottie Funk 501 and Virginia Vanover 459.
Action from the K of C Lanes included Rick Smith shooting 659 in the Tuesday Night League. Chris Johnson had 602, Jerry Coleman 563, Jim Rainey 561, Darl Elchert 556, Scott Ferguson 554, Jack Houck 552 and James Lord 550. In the Lady Knights League Deb Hoerig shot 493, Madonna Gase 438, Carol Burmeister 405, Marilyn Gangluff 399, Lela Gaietto 398 and Marge Wilhelm 392. Jim Ruess shot 597, Bob Reinhart 592, Jim Ferstler 509, Dick Gabel 506, Denny Scherger 506, Bob West 498, Bill Mizen 473, Paul Fey 471, John Ferstler 465, Harry Smith 460, Jim Donaldson 368 and Dave Everhart 331 in the 55 Plus League. In the Senior League Herb Sendelbach shot 590, Ken Ritzler 576, Steve Zirger 536, Jerry Schlick 524, Cliff Jeffrey 523, Larry Ritzler 502 and John Arend 501.

SEWICKLEY, Pa. — Men from western Pennsylvania who served in the all-black Tuskegee Airmen unit during World War II are now honored on a new monument in Allegheny County, billed as the country's largest outdoor monument commemorating the barrier-breaking group.
Hundreds gathered at Sewickley Cemetery for Sunday's unveiling of the memorial, where the names of about 100 western Pennsylvania members of the 332nd Fighter Group of the U.S Army Air Corps are carved into two flanking towers. Two others relate the history and the soldiers' struggle against discriminatory laws at home and segregation in the military to become trailblazers fighting for equality.
On a central tower above sits a red granite sculpture of an airplane tail, a reference to the unit's nickname, "Red Tails."
More than 900 pilots trained at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and about a third escorted bombers in the war's European theater, disproving the notion that black pilots were inferior to whites.
James Cotton, 86, one of six veterans present, said he always knew his role mattered, even though he drew little attention in the first few decades after the war.
"I felt as though I was doing something that was life-changing and earth-inspiring," he said.
Cotton was kept busy with autograph requests from the approximately 500 people who attended, as was Dr. Robert Higginbotham, 87, a Sewickley native and Tuskegee-trained soldier who also served in Korea.
"The crowd embraced us the way we should be embraced," Higginbotham said. "I still love this country."
Air Force Brig. Gen. Leon Johnson told the crowd that the unit lives on, flying missions in the Middle East and aiding the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq.
"The spirit of the Tuskegee Airmen units is alive and well," said Gen. Johnson, who heads a nonprofit that promotes the unit's history. "The Tuskegee Airmen today are doing what the Tuskegee Airmen did in World War II."

Background Overuse, the provision of health care services for which harms outweigh benefits, represents poor quality and contributes to high costs. A better understanding of overuse in US health care could inform efforts to reduce inappropriate care. We performed an extensive search for studies of overuse of therapeutic procedures, diagnostic tests, and medications in the United States and describe the state of the literature.
Methods We searched MEDLINE (1978-2009) for studies measuring US rates of overuse of procedures, tests, and medications, augmented by author tracking, reference tracking, and expert consultation. Four reviewers screened titles; 2 reviewers screened abstracts and full articles and extracted data including overuse rate, type of service, clinical area, and publication year.
Results We identified 172 articles measuring overuse: 53 concerned therapeutic procedures; 38, diagnostic tests; and 81, medications. Eighteen unique therapeutic procedures and 24 diagnostic services were evaluated, including 10 preventive diagnostic services. The most commonly studied services were antibiotics for upper respiratory tract infections (59 studies), coronary angiography (17 studies), carotid endarterectomy (13 studies), and coronary artery bypass grafting (10 studies). Overuse of carotid endarterectomy and antibiotics for upper respiratory tract infections declined over time.
Conclusions The robust evidence about overuse in the United States is limited to a few services. Reducing inappropriate care in the US health care system likely requires a more substantial investment in overuse research.

Holly Hill police said a man shot and killed his roommate after the two argued over a pork chop.
Thomas Hahn, 55, is charged with second-degree murder.
Officials said Hahn was sitting in a chair at the home on May Avenue just before 10:30 p.m. Tuesday when police arrived. He told officers that he shot Robert Eugene Gray Jr., 35, in self-defense, but police said the evidence suggests otherwise.
Witnesses told police the two were arguing over how a pork chop was cooked.
The 35-year-old victim was shot twice in the head with a rifle as he walked into the house.
Police said alcohol was a factor in the shooting death.

Ok FTM here & I was hoping to get some suggestions and recommendations on what you are going to use, what you have used, if you will use a post partum belly band?? What brand do you suggest? What did you buy? What have you tried and loved or tried and hated? Do you think these work? I saw some Tanks called Mother Tuckers but those look like they may not be nursing friendly? How soon would you suggest wearing one? While still in the hostpital or a few days after delivery?
Sorry lots of questions but figure you ladies are the the ones I value their advice, opinions, and suggestions. Thanks girlies!

LOCKPORT – The only thing holding up the signing of the Trek Inc. lease on city-controlled space in downtown Lockport is the company president's absence on a trip to Japan, Corporation Counsel John J. Ottaviano said Wednesday.
He said terms have been completed for the deal that would bring the Medina electronic instrument manufacturer and nearly 100 jobs to Building 4 at Harrison Place, Walnut and Washburn streets.
However, Trek President Michael C. Dehn is not available to sign the documents for a few days until he returns from Japan, where Trek has a plant.
R. Charles Bell, city planning and development director, said an appraiser hired by Five Star Bank, the lender financing the Lockport deal, set the value of the three-story, 96,000-square-foot building at $3.8 million.
That's enough to support a $3 million loan the bank is making to 210 Walnut LLC, the city-controlled entity that owns the former auto parts plant. The loan is needed to pay for interior renovations, which are 210 Walnut's responsibility under the deal.
Bell said the $3 million loan is for 20 years at an interest rate of about 5.1 percent. That sets the monthly payment over $20,000. Ottaviano said Trek's lease payment to 210 Walnut will be more than that, to cover the debt service.
"Because things are moving so fast, there's a not-to-exceed payment number in there," Ottaviano said.
Meanwhile, in another business venture, the Common Council voted unanimously Wednesday to grant a special-use permit for the first phase of auto dealer Charles Heinrich's Lockport Recycling Center on Oakhurst Street.
The first phase involves installation of a truck scale and two concrete pads for transferring construction and demolition debris for recycling or disposal. It will cover one acre of the 16-acre property in an industrial zone.
There are two nearby residents, neither of whom voiced opposition at a public hearing Wednesday.
"The guy who owns the property is going to sell the property. This seems a lot less worse than it could be," said one of them, Richard Huntington.

Generally yes . . . but headspace differences do matter; if you have a 7.62 NATO rifle with headspace on the long side of the 7.62 NATO spec, it may not be such a good idea to shoot .308 Winchester in the rifle.
Here's a discussion of the issue from Fulton Armory:
March 7, 2013, 09:34 PM
Commercial chamber pressures generally run a good bit higher than NATO pressures. Keep in mind also that a lot of .308 bullets are in the 180-190 grain range and will beat up a semi-auto.
PSL's, CETME's, G3's...I prefer 147gr 7.62x51 in em.
March 7, 2013, 10:41 PM
OK, but I'm just wondering if I can use the NATO round in my bolt-action Savage.
March 7, 2013, 10:49 PM
Ok, this is what I found in a Yahoo questions site:
.308 Win vs. 7.62x51--The Straight Scoop
Before we go much further, lets address the oft-posed question "Are the .308 Winchester and 7.62x51 NATO one and the same?" The simple answer is no. There are differences in chamber specs and maximum pressures. The SAMMI/CIP maximum pressure for the .308 Win cartridge is 62,000 psi, while the 7.62x51 max is 50,000 psi. Also, the headspace is slightly different. The .308 Win "Go Gauge" is 1.630" vs. 1.635" for the 7.62x51. The .308's "No-Go" dimension is 1.634" vs. 1.6405" for a 7.62x51 "No Go" gauge. That said, it is normally fine to shoot quality 7.62x51 NATO ammo in a gun chambered for the .308 Winchester (though not all NATO ammo is identical). Clint McKee of Fulton Armory notes: "[N]obody makes 7.62mm (NATO) ammo that isn't to the .308 'headspace' dimension spec. So 7.62mm ammo fits nicely into .308 chambers, as a rule." You CAN encounter problems going the other way, however. A commercial .308 Win round can exceed the max rated pressure for the 7.62x51. So, you should avoid putting full-power .308 Win rounds into military surplus rifles that have been designed for 50,000 psi max..... Reloaders should also note that military ammo often is made with a thicker web. Consequently the case capacity of 7.62x51 brass is usually less than that of commercial .308 brass. You may need to reduce recommended .308 Winchester loads by as much as 2 full grains, if you reload with military 7.62x51 brass, such as Lake City or IMI.
Like the 5.56x45MM verses the .223? --- NOpe... Look here for info on that....
March 8, 2013, 07:26 AM
Sorry Blue1, but you've got it all wrong regarding the pressures. The 7.62x51 pressure spec's of 50,000 psi that you quote were obtained using the copper crusher method and are essentially C.U.P. pressure. The military is not beholden to SAAMI rules, so they can call C.U.P. pressures psi or banana splits if they want, but obtaining the pressure the way they did equates to about 60,000 psi obtained using SAAMI methods. So, there are no problems interchanging the two cartridges aside from perhaps differences in heavier bullets and slower burning powders which may not be compatible to M1/M14 platforms.
March 8, 2013, 07:44 AM
The pressure difference between .308 and 7.62 in insignificant. Much confusion from the different measurements, CUP vs PSI. There is not a reliable formula to convert one to the other. Head space and case wall thickness are the major differences.
From a piece FALPhil wrote.
The pressure difference between the two rounds is insignificant, the real problem is commercial ammunition has thinner cases that were not designed to shoot in military chambers BUT we do it all the time anyway and this why you see more case head separations on commercial cases fired in military chambers.
The M118 special long range round is loaded to 52,000 CUP (all other U.S. 7.62mm are 50,000 CUP) which would be equal to the pressure levels of commercial ammunition, this means actually there is no pressure difference between the .308 and 7.62 NATO for the M118 cartridge. No accurate conversion between copper crusher and true pressure exists, but approximations can be made. In all the conversions outlined above, pressures are in thousands of PSI (KPSI). Expect errors of several KPSI, or about 15%, with such formulas. Many factors determine how much the indicated pressure reading from a crusher misses the true pressure, and the error varies among cartridges and even among different loads for one cartridge. The conversions might be accurate enough for many practical purposes.
So, to sum everything up, the pressure difference between the 308 Winchester and the 7.62x51mm NATO is less than 2,000 PSI which is statistically insignificant. The same pressure variation may be
achieved by firing any rifle on a hot day and on a cold day or by changing brands of primers.

I`d just go with the round it`s designed for. Peace of mind goes a long way.
March 8, 2013, 08:04 AM
Every now and then we like to have a thread on this subject. This thread is a good example. (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=703329)
As has been pointed out the chamber specifications do vary in that a 7.62 NATO has what can be viewed as a slightly larger chamber. This allows a military rifle used under adverse conditions to be more forgiving in chambering a round. This is also apparent as was mentioned in headspace gauge dimensions being different.
While in my experience the actual case outside dimensions have been identical. The military cases do have slightly less volume and have slightly thicker brass in the web at the bases of the case. I wish I had more 7.62 NATO factory loaded ammunition to measure as I was limited to some South African stuff.
The pressures have also been covered in that a .308 Winchester cartridge is measured in PSI (Pounds Square Inch) while the 7.62 NATO pressure is measured in CUP (Copper Units Pressure). There is no simple cross reference between the two nor is there a simple math conversion formula. My understanding here is that there is really very little pressure difference.
This is all on my summer bucket list. I hope to do an in depth study between the two for comparison purposes.
Finally in the link is a picture of a box of .308 Winchester, that same box is also labeled 7.62 NATO as another member pointed out. Unfortunately the box end flap is not clearly visible in the picture. :(
So my understanding is that while a .308 Winchester and 7.62 NATO chamber are not necessarily cut to the same specifications, the cartridges are identical as to outside dimensions. I have fired both in my M1A, AR10 and my Remington .308 bolt gun.
Just My Take
March 8, 2013, 08:25 AM
Short answer, for you use it won't hurt a thing. If you were trying to use commercial 308 ammo in a rifle chambered for 7.62 Nato ammo about the worst thing that would happen is that SOME ammo might not cycle reliably in SOME rifles.
A lot is made of slightly different specs in ammo pressure and slighlty different chamber sizes. Pick any chambering, 243, 30-30, 30-06, 270, any of them, and you will find they are loaded to different chamber pressures depending on the manufacturer. Same with rifles. The tolerences between various rifles in any chambering can be just as great as the differences between typical 308 and 7.62 Nato rifles.
March 8, 2013, 10:23 AM
Just because photos are . . . photos. :evil:
March 8, 2013, 10:30 AM
The short answer is, a 7.62 NATO round will always work just fine in a .308, but a .308 round may cause problems in a gun designed for 7.62 NATO. The civilian loads are often a bit hotter, and have a wider range of bullet weights that can sometimes cause problems for semi-auto actions.

Thanks again Reloadron!
March 8, 2013, 03:06 PM
You're welcome Double Vision.
What I would like to find is some Lake City and maybe a few other manufacturers of 7.62 NATO ammunition. This summer once the house bucket list is done I really want to drag myself and some instrumentation out to the range and do some experimenting.
I want to chronograph some loads, especially identical loads in commercial and military brass. I also want to snag some data on pressure curves from different ammunition.
Have to check out some gun shows for assorted 7.62 NATO stuff.
I know what I should see and know it has been done before, just a few things I want to try. :)
March 8, 2013, 07:11 PM

I am not so sure about that. Take some .308 brass that has been FL resized a few times and put it in a 7.62 chamber that is long enough to close on a SAAMI spec .308 field gauge, and I think you are flirting with a case separation.
.308 brass is designed to safely deform to a maximum length defined by SAAMI. A 7.62 chamber can be longer than that max SAAMI length and still be within NATO spec.
March 8, 2013, 10:07 PM

So you are saying that .308 Winchester may cause problems for my semi-auto huh ?
March 9, 2013, 03:46 PM
"The civilian loads are often a bit hotter"
Nope, sorry, just not true.
As stated above, they are they same round and factory ammo is perfectly interchangeable. Commercial and military chambers are designed and spec'd differently, but the rounds are the same.

People keep arguing that they are not the same but I have never noted any problems firing one or the either from my rifles no matter what caliber is stamped on the gun. If there is any real difference I can't tell.
March 9, 2013, 10:35 PM
I shoot and reload both and use them interchangeably from bolt, semi auto, mil spec, etc. This is a tired, worn out, and ignorant discussion. If you know enough about shooting and reloading then you know the differences would only affect a 1000 yard competitor.

The resort of Flumserberg forms a terrace stretching from 1000 m to 1400 m above the Walensee and the valley town of Flums. The ski region reaches 2222 m. By the end of the 19th century, this area had already been discovered as a centre for whey cures and its unspoilt natural beauty inspired Johanna Spyri to write her Heidi stories more than a hundred years ago.
Today this is an excellent family-oriented resort. Popular attractions include the CLiiMBER (Alpine coaster), the FLOOMZER (a 2-km toboggan run), the high-altitude hiking paths (suitable for prams) and various themed trails such as the Trail of Legends, Heidi's Flower Trail and the GeoTrail. To round out the attractions for children, there are facilities such as minigolf courses and fascinating adventure playgrounds.
This holiday region is also criss-crossed by a dense 150-km network of hiking and cycle paths. Also on offer are cycle tours of every level of difficulty; fishing in mountain streams/lake; and paragliding. The delightful six-hour "Seven Peaks Tour" is a perfectly safe ridge walk with magnificent panoramic views of more than 150 peaks in the St. Gallen, Grisons, Glarus and interior Swiss Alps.
The Walensee, with its many facilities for water sports, is just 20 minutes away by car. Anything is possible there, from diving to stand-up-paddling, canoeing, sailing and surfing.
The winter sports region of Flumserberg guarantees plenty of snow and is the biggest winter sports destination between Zurich and Chur with pistes of all levels of difficulty. For snowboarders there are fun parks and a half-pipe; and for cross country skiers the Prodalp has 18 km of cross-country trails. For even more action, visitors can try the 3-km sledge run from Prodalp to Tannenheim. Children become familiar with snow sports in two children's parks. Cosy mountain snack bars ensure a variety of culinary delights.
Those who want to discover something new can get an introduction to the world of sled dogs in Flumserberg. From the harnessing and unharnessing of this breed of Husky dogs, through to professional guidance and silent rides as you glide through the snowy winter landscape. An unforgettable experience for dog lovers, nicely rounded up with warming mulled wine.

On her way into work at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, deputy director Karen Lee Spaulding often takes a moment to pause and admire one of her favorite works of art.
It might be Arshile Gorky's riotous canvas "The Liver is in the Cock's Comb," Jim Hodges' massive sculpture in the gallery's courtyard or Elsworth Kelly's "Chatham XI: Blue Yellow," which mirrors the team colors of the Buffalo Sabres. Though her schedule through 36 years at the gallery has never been less than breathless, Spaulding has always maintained a deep and daily appreciation for its peerless collection and its place at the vanguard of Buffalo's cultural life. After a long and successful career, she will leave the Albright-Knox in October for a new post as vice president of philanthropic support at the John R. Oishei Foundation. Her behind-the-scenes work as the gallery's second-in-command, always anchored by a deep sense of duty to the works that surrounded her, spanned the tenures of four directors, hundreds of exhibitions and a major period of growth for the collection and the gallery's international reputation.
Her quiet and constant presence there, beginning as the director of the fledgling publications department in the late '70s and ending with her recent stint as interim director, was far from glamorous. It did not often register in headlines or pop up in public conversations about the gallery. But it is one of the major reasons the gallery has been able to maintain and build upon its status as one of North America's top art museums.
Spaulding, much to her credit, is that rare art-world administrator who prefers to remain behind the curtain and support the work of others. Her commitment to that role enabled the gallery's former director, Louis Grachos, to act as the public face of the institution and to focus on bringing bold new work into the collection and amping up community involvement.
"My best work and my success is when I can support other people in doing their best work. That's very important to me. I love to see people and organizations thrive," she said. "I believe that when everybody does their best work, the organization thrives, and you can feel it. It's palpable."
While the Albright-Knox runs an extremely tight ship even by art museum standards, the culture Spaulding built at the gallery has allowed it to soar to new heights – and to attract the likes of newly appointed director Janne Sirén, formerly director of the Helsinki Art Museum.
Spaulding said her decision to leave the gallery was unrelated to Sirén's arrival. "We want to make it very clear that I could have stayed and worked with Janne for another 20 years, truly," she said, adding that the gallery "hit the jackpot" with its new director. "I think, personally, it's important for an institution to have new eyes, new perspectives."
Spaulding's move away from the gallery, which plans to fill her position but has not yet announced a search process, also bodes well for the future of the John R. Oishei Foundation and for Western New York's nonprofit world. Her role at Buffalo's largest foundation will be to support organizations after they receive Oishei grants to ensure that the foundation's money goes as far as possible. "I believe all of our small and large not-for-profits have people who are passionate and who do amazing work," she said. "Each of them has specific challenges within their organization, and it's going to be my role to listen really carefully, and then when I think I have an answer, I think I've got to listen some more."
Before she departs, the deputy director has quite a lot of work to wrap up. She is putting the finishing touches on a national tour of highlights from the gallery's collection that will launch next year and putting together a huge glossary of terms for her eventual successor. And before her tenure ends, you can bet she'll be pausing more often than usual before one of her favorite pieces of art. "Every one of us feels that it's an enormous privilege to walk through the doors and to be surrounded by these extraordinary paintings that people come from all over the world to see," Spaulding said. "That's what I'm going to miss most of all."

UNIVERSITY PARK - One of the most enjoyable aspects of watching Bill O'Brien coach over the first seven games of the season has been his reckless, gambling style that has accompanied a wide-open offense, the likes of which Penn State fans have never seen.
It has been the polar opposite of Joe Paterno, whose outstanding career was built around defense and special teams.
Paterno was often content - even against a team with less talent - to play a field-position game, rely on the punter and patiently wait for the opponent to make the critical mistake in the fourth quarter.
Article Video
It happened repeatedly en route to 409 wins, no matter what the NCAA thinks.
Saturday night against an Ohio State team that was superior to the Nittany Lions and yet certainly beatable presented an on-the-job training session that O'Brien admittedly failed.
Sorting out the aftermath of a 35-23 smackdown in which the Buckeyes led by three touchdowns twice in the second half, O'Brien didn't take long to pin the blame squarely on himself.
Article Photos
Mirror photos by Patrick Waksmunski
Penn State linebacker Mike Hull wraps up Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller during the Buckeyes' 35-23 victory Saturday night at Beaver Stadium.
Paterno, to his credit, often did the same thing.
"It starts with me," O'Brien said. "I didn't do a very good job tonight as the head football coach, and I have to do a much better job for this football team."
Given the train wreck he's inherited and the class with which he's handled it, almost no one will be more critical of O'Brien this year or for the next couple than he's been of himself.
Asked for specifics on areas in which he could have improved, O'Brien mentioned "the gameplan," and "adjusting better" and said he was anxious to "dive into that tape tomorrow [Sunday] and see what I can do better."
It will be curious what he concludes, but one area he ought to examine closely is the lack of patience he exhibited.
When you're an NFL offensive coordinator with one mission - to score 50 points, as O'Brien has said he was trying to do with New England each week - getting used to the ebb and flow of a developing defensive battle can be an adjustment.
That much was obvious Saturday night.
Penn State's defense was outstanding early and, were it not for a highly questionable and rarely called defensive holding during a punt, the Lions could have taken a 7-0 lead - at least - into halftime while getting the ball back to start the second half.
Instead, it was 7-7 and then 14-7 after Matt McGloin threw his first really bad interception of the season.
That's when O'Brien, down 14-10 and facing fourth-and-9 from the Buckeyes' 43, got too anxious.
Instead of again trying to pin Ohio State deep - something Alex Butterworth did well early with pooches to the Buckeyes' 3, 11, 6 and later to their 15 - O'Brien attempted a fake punt with Butterworth trying to hit Derek Day.
The Lions worked on it all week with Butterworth having Day or Mike Hull, who was open, as the option. It didn't work, and the Buckeyes quickly marched 57 yards over the shorter field to take a 21-10 lead and command.
Now, it's difficult to chide a guy for playing to win, and the fake punt did work at Virginia.
"We wanted to try to get something going," O'Brien said. "We had it. We just didn't execute it. It was a defensive game, and I was trying to get something going for our players on offense, and I need to do a better job."
O'Brien also passed on a possible 3-0 lead in the second quarter by rejecting a 37-yard field goal attempt after advancing to the Ohio State 20 and turning the ball over on downs.
"Like I said all year, I felt good with the play call we had," he said of that decision.
Sam Ficken is slowly regrouping from his disastrous game at Virginia (four misses), and he's now made three of the last four attempts he's tried with the one miss a 43-yarder that was blocked last week.
"My season hasn't gone the way I wanted to, but my mindset is I'm not going to miss another kick the rest of the season," Ficken said. "That's my goal. I dug myself into a hole at the beginning, and I'm trying to climb back out and every kick I make his confidence in me builds, and that's good for the team."
O'Brien may have shown confidence in Ficken by prematurely going for the 2-point conversion after the Lions cut the lead to 28-16. That would have meant a touchdown and a field goal would have tied the game, but the conversion failed.
"We made mistakes, but we win as a team and lose as a team," O'Brien said, "and it starts with me. We're all going to try to improve between tonight and Purdue."
To do so will take a little patience a little more than O'Brien showed against the Buckeyes.
