The story of Londontown begins in a garden in Radlett, England. Where our founder, Natasha Dillon's grandmother would use handpicked botanicals and a blend of flower oils to create a healing remedy that would be massaged into Natasha's hands and nails to hydrate and ensure protection from the crisp, dry English air. Years later, when the damaging effects of UV gels were destroying Natasha's nails, she was reminded of this cherished memory with her grandmother. This revelation motivated Natasha to inspirit her inherited family remedy and develop kur, a naturally derived nail treatment system that is a thoughtful holistic approach to restoring, strengthening and hydrating nails and cuticles.
With a modern and sophisticated concept in mind, our formulas combine nail care science with the nourishing and hydrating properties of Britain's Rapeseed Flower Oil, Chamomile, Cucumber and other essential oils and extracts. As we have expanded our product line and are providing more healthy and safe alternatives to our customers, including colour. We continue to stay true to our philosophy, to provide restorative solutions that go beyond just the nail surface to protect and care for your entire nail.
Brittle, cracked and damaged nails and cuticles are common complaints that are painful, unattractive and, most of all, annoying for the way they resist effective treatment. Thinking about her own nail and cuticle troubles, a young businesswoman named Natasha Dillon remembered her childhood experiences, when her grandmother would create a soothing hand and nail lotion made from botanical extracts and oils from plants picked in her own English garden. This was a kur (from the German, meaning "treatment"), a formula passed down through the family's generations, based on extract of rapeseed (Brassica napus) blended with flower oils.
Dillon decided to found Londontown to develop a line of nail care products based on her family's kur, with the same dedication to pure, natural ingredients. This five-step nail care system is designed to strengthen, hydrate, fortify and protect nails and cuticles. A core part of the philosophy of the Londontown nail care system is that beauty and health comes from within, which is why the revamped kur formula uses only natural botanical oils and extracts, vitamins and minerals. They are also vegan and gluten-free. In particular, toxic and potentially carcinogenic chemicals found in many nail care products are not permitted in the Londontown kur: the formulas are free of formaldehyde, toluene, DBP (dibutyl phthalate), formaldehyde resin and camphor.

Pickup trucks have always been a status symbol for a certain demographic, even when it's unrelated to the trucks' actual stated purpose of moving stuff around. And that demographic, as loyal pickup truck buyers, has a lot of influence over the direction of new models. Even though pickups seem to get bigger every year, there are ways around that for people who really need a truck, but really don't want or need a massive truck. Even though auto manufacturers say they're responding to consumer demand by constantly building and selling bigger pickup trucks, there are only a few models available for consumers who only need modest power or modest size. Deciding to buy a used truck is one way to easily open up the playing field and have more models to choose from, with a range of engine options, bed sizes, and cab configurations. A used pickup will also, of course, be a bit easier on the budget than buying a new one.
Seasoned pickup truck drivers typically have strong preferences, but there are enough used pickups on the market to satisfy most needs. It's a bit trickier for first time or inexperienced truck buyers, because there are a lot of decisions that need to be made. An honest assessment of how the truck will be used is the first critical step, so a shopper on a budget will not end up buying a bigger or more powerful truck than is absolutely necessary. Shopping for a used pickup is easier when the potential buyer acknowledges and accepts that the available examples have probably seen some hard days. Used trucks are not going to be pristine. But if the buyer really needs a truck (in other words, is actually going to use it to haul stuff around) the newly acquired wear and tear will quickly be indistinguishable from the old. A well chosen used pickup will be a solid investment.

LISBON - Two New Waterford brothers accused of assault, arson and criminal damaging at a home in the Pleasant Valley trailer court in November appeared in Columbiana County Municipal Court Tuesday.
Tyler Conkle, 22, and Alex Conkle, 18, both of Macklin Road were represented by separate attorneys before Judge Mark Frost.
Douglas King, hired to represent Tyler Conkle, told Frost he had just been retained and needed more time to look over the police records and other evidence against his client.
Alex Conkle, who also faces unrelated charges of drug paraphernalia and prohibitions, is represented by Jennifer Gorby. The drug paraphernalia charge reportedly stems from marijuana pipes, rolling papers and empty K-spice containers in his vehicle, while the prohibitions charge is for two unopened beers.
Gorby and King were given a chance to view documents on Tuesday, but were still granted the requested continuance. The pretrial for both brothers is now set for Jan. 31.
Frost said for now the charges against them can be looked at together, but eventually the charges could lead to up to five separate jury trials.
The Conkles are accused of throwing a flare from a vehicle toward the Shear Perfection Hair Salon building, which caught the leaves near the building on fire. The leaves were later extinguished.
Additionally, they are accused of shooting a BB gun toward the mobile home of Eric Elliott, narrowly missing Elliott's head with one shot. When he went outside to confront them, the brothers reportedly continued to shoot, eventually shattering a window in the bedroom where Eliott's 2-year-old daughter was in bed.
Finally, the pair are accused of being responsible for two soda bottle bombs thrown at Elliott's home.
Both the mother of the Conkle brothers and Elliott attended Tuesday's court hearing.

The patio at West Hollywood's Chateau Marmont was packed with stars – but Lindsay Lohan definitely commanded the most attention as she breezed onto the scene with an ever-expanding entourage. The rehabbed actress took a seat in an oversized chair as she presided over several tables and giggled with several girlfriends, pointing out Sean Penn, who was seated across the patio. The two never spoke, but Lohan did greet Emily Blunt with a hug and, later, chatted up her hubby John Krasinski. Also there: Daniel Craig, who grabbed some beers with friends.

Can we use XNA to build (metro) games on Win8??
I use XNA to build games for WP7 and Win7 and i could extend that to XBox. What about Win8 (Metro apps)?
Any plans there that you can share?
Chas did a great job in this session covering the APIs that are available that will help to develop DirextX based Metro Style Games. He covers APIs such as DirectWrite, Direct2D/3D, XAudio2, Media Foundation and best practices for specific phases of the appication life-cycle. Not a lot of code samples but I still found this to be a good presentation that helped me to become familiar with the fundamentals of this new release. There is a Game Dev Cheat Sheet at the end of the presentation that contains a listing of //build/ sessions for game dev if you are interested as well. Thanks Chas for this presentation!

Family: Fathers, daughters
A new study on the relationships of fathers and daughters shines a light on important family experiences.
We see – and say – such descriptions as "she's definitely a daddy's girl." But what does it really mean? Are there differences in the relationships between sons or daughters and their fathers?
According to a study at Baylor University, 43 fathers and 43 daughters, not related to each other, were asked to write about a crucial moment of change in their own father-daughter relationships. The daughters were at least age 22, and the fathers were ages 45-70. Also included were adoptive and step-family relationships.
Most often mentioned by daughters were activities with their fathers, their marriages and physical distance from their fathers. Fathers most often mentioned joint activities, a daughter's marriage and her beginning to date.

My Short Life As A CNA
My father was enjoying an active vacation in the Caribbean when he noticed a lump in his throat. He had a malignant melanoma tumor removed two years before and had undergone a year of Interferon treatment that left him with no energy. When he completed his treatment, he spent the next year doing all the things he loved. He water skied with his grandkids. He snow skied with friends and family. He traveled with his wife. Now the lump in his throat threatened all that.
When he got home, a biopsy confirmed that his cancer had returned. Everyone knew then that it wasn't going to end well.
He had the tumor removed the day after Christmas. He and his wife asked if I could came down for a visit when he got out of the hospital. I went to help them out. He couldn't drive on his pain medications, so I was his chauffeur for his daily business and his doctor visits. A week after he got out of the hospital he wanted to drive. He drove us on a short trip. He was off his pain medication, but he was still impaired. He never drove again.
After two weeks, a experimental trial treatment plan was settled on and they felt they could manage things on their own. I went home, but everyone knew it would just be a matter of time before his health would decline and they would need more help.
A couple of weeks later my dad was scheduled to begin the experimental trial treatment. He mentioned to the doctor conducting the trial that he had a great deal of pain in his back. The doctor went to look again at the pretrial MRI. When came back, he told my dad that in a few weeks he would be coming back saying his back pain was gone. Unfortunately, that never happened.
My dad endured increasing back pain for two and half months while going through the trial treatment program. Then, he started to fall. His legs would give way suddenly without notice. An MRI revealed a large tumor pressing against his spine. He was out of the trial and had surgery to remove the tumor. He never was able to walk unassisted again.
When my dad was released from the hospital and rehabilitation clinic, I went back down to help. It would be the last time I visited my father. I would be there to the end. While I am not a trained certified nursing assistant, that became my job for the final weeks of my dad's life. I did what I could to help his wife with his care. I helped him out of bed and into his wheelchair. I helped him with his bathroom visits. I transported him to his home office and back. I helped him get to his doctor appointments. I was his wheel man. I helped him with his physical therapy. I helped with his home care visits. As his voice was failing, I gave him a bell to ring when he needed me. I wanted to be at his beck and call.
I took care of my dad when his wife needed a well deserved break. She would take care of him at night or when I wanted to unwind at a restaurant for an hour. We were a team and I think we worked well together.
We also had a lot of help with in home care. We had nurses coming for visits. We had physical therapists and vocational therapists coming by. We even had a certified CNA come to help with his baths. We all tried to make my dad as functional and comfortable as we could.
One weekend the whole family was coming into town for a visit. I joked with my girlfriend that everyone was going to be in town for the wedding (our wedding) except for her.
That Friday afternoon, a home care nurse came by for a visit. When she took his pulse, she found it was racing. We called the doctor and were told to take him to the emergency room. When we got there, they hooked him up to a heart monitor and brought in the crash cart. Then a bunch of people came into the room. The doctor told my dad that might feel a little funny as the doctor gave him a shot. What he didn't say was the shot was to stop and restart his heart. It worked. His heart stopped and restarted with a more normal heart beat.
My dad was then admitted to ICU for a week of observation. He still got his family visits, but unfortunately they were all two at a time in the ICU unit.
My dad had been having a great of trouble swallowing and was having difficulty eating. While he was in the hospital, they installed a PICC line, which was a huge blessing. A PICC line is a thin tube inserted through the skin that terminates in a large blood vessel in the chest. A PICC line allows blood to be drawn without inserting a needle and nutrition to be given directly to the blood stream. It made blood draws and feeding him a lot easier on everyone.
When he was released from the hospital, his wife and I were in charge of managing his PICC line and his TPN (liquid) nutrition. At this point, he was also on oxygen. As he was transported from room to room, the oxygen had to move also.
The next weekend my girlfriend came for a visit. My dad and his wife adored her. She could do no wrong. The night before she was going to leave, my girlfriend and I went out to dinner together. Over dinner she told me that she had been thinking a lot about it and decided she was ready for us to get married. Tears were streaming down my face. I told her that I couldn't tell my dad that we were going to get married, because I would also be telling him that he wouldn't be there. I suggested that if we were going to get married, that we do it at my dad's home the next weekend. That way, my dad could be there. That was not what she was expecting, but she agreed.
When we got back from dinner, we talked with my dad's wife. She was thrilled and completely behind the idea. The next morning we gathered around the fountain in the backyard for pictures before my girlfriend left to go back home. I sat my girlfriend down next to the fountain and I dropped down on one knee. Through a stream of tears, all mine, I asked her to marry me. My dad couldn't hear what I was saying, but he knew what was happening. He asked when we were going to get married and I told him on Sunday in the backyard. Here? Yes. On Sunday? Yes. How many days is that? Six days.
So for the next six days we cared for my dad and planned a wedding. Each day I would tell my dad where we were in the planning; what had been take care of and what still needed to be done. My dad's wife arranged for a wonderful catered brunch. My wife and I bought rings, picked out music and arranged for the flowers. My mom, sisters, cousins and my best friend all made it into town. My girlfriend and I had the civil ceremony alone on Friday.
On Sunday morning, everything was ready for the family marriage ceremony. Since my girlfriend's father had passed away, my dad and his wife gave her away. My best friend, a former pastor, officiated a ceremony that was simple, but beautiful and meaningful. My best friend's wife was wonderful in that she made she sure we got all the pictures for our wedding day. We had a wonderful catered brunch. We toasted with sparkling cider and watched a picture slide show I put together set to one of our songs. My dad participated to the extent he could but he was tired.
After everything was done and we had said our goodbyes, I was waiting by the door for my new wife. My dad was watching and smiling at me with a sense of pride and contentment. My new wife and I were going to spend our wedding night at nice hotel and come back the next afternoon.
The next morning we received a phone call from my dad's distraught wife. My dad had passed away. We rushed back to the house to find my dad lying in his bed, as if sleeping. My dad had passed away early that morning, after everyone had gone home. After he had seen everyone one last time, I think he was ready to go.
We did everything we could to make the remaining weeks of his life comfortable and meaningful. He made it easier by taking his decline with such grace. I think he lived his last years to the fullest. He was a Vibrant Gray.

Rand Paul Blames 'Big Government' for Militarized Police
GOP Sen. Rand Paul Thursday lambasted the police response in the wake of a shooting of an unarmed black youth in Ferguson, Mo., saying the scenes in recent days " resemble war more than traditional police action."
"There is a legitimate role for the police to keep the peace, but there should be a difference between a police response and a military response," said Mr. Paul, a likely presidential candidate in 2016, in an op-ed article posted on Time.com in response to aggressive police tactics in handling street demonstrations after the shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old.

- Rand Paul Super PAC Posts Stronger Second-Half Numbers
Mr. Paul is a leading voice in GOP's libertarian-leaning wing. Another small-government lawmaker, Rep. Justin Amash (R., Mich.), expressed a similar view late Wednesday on Twitter. He called reports from Ferguson "frightening," and asked: "Is this a war zone or a U.S. city."
But Mr. Paul brought to the argument the weight of his ambition to be a national political leader. He linked the issue to his broader critique of the federal government, saying that local police have become militarized in part because of federal aid to police departments to acquire heavy arms, something he said "is usually done in the name of fighting the war on drugs or terrorism."
"Big government has been at the heart of the problem," Mr. Paul wrote. "Washington has incentivized the militarization of local police precincts by using federal dollars to help municipal governments build what are essentially small armies—where police departments compete to acquire military gear that goes far beyond what most of Americans think of as law enforcement."
The criticism of police power by Mr. Paul and Mr. Amash put them in a strange-bedfellow alliance with liberals and African Americans who have been protesting the handling of the Michael Brown shooting and the forceful police response to street demonstrations.
Mr. Paul put the issue into a broader context of issues like government surveillance and limits on civil liberties that have also seen an alliance between liberals and libertarians in recent years.
Mr. Paul, who has also tried to reach out to African American audiences in an effort to broaden his party's appeal, also saw the episode as linked to racial inequities in the criminal justice system.
"It is almost impossible for many Americans not to feel like their government is targeting them," said Mr. Paul. "Given the racial disparities in our criminal justice system, it is impossible for African-Americans not to feel like their government is particularly targeting them."
"Anyone who thinks that race does not still, even if inadvertently, skew the application of criminal justice in this country is just not paying close enough attention."
Mr. Paul's comments also served as a response to Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas, who earlier had practically dared him –as well as conservative Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) — to join the criticism of the police response because of his libertarian ideology.
"I'm sure that Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are going speak up for the liberty and freedom of the ppl of Ferguson against govt overreach soon," Mr. Castro said on Twitter.

Mike Miles addresses advocates about DISD's programs for homeless students
Dallas ISD Superintendent Mike Miles and homeless advocates met Thursday evening at the Communities Foundation of Texas to discuss the issues facing the school district's 3,300 homeless students.
"It's hard to get a good education without a roof over your head," he told district employees and child advocates who met at the Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance quarterly member meeting.
The school district's director of psychological and social services, Connie Wilson, said students who are homeless have problems with anxiety and depression that affect their overall health.
"It's time we start thinking of those children and families, " she said. "The child who had a hard time find a place to do their homework, or the parent who doesn't have a quiet place to read to their children."
Psychologists are employed at some DISD schools to help students and families cope with these issues, as well as get connected to other services in the area that they can use to end their homeless plight.
Wilson said the causes of homelessness vary and the highest number of children who are homeless in the district are in lower grade levels. After third or fourth grade, the numbers seem to drop off, district officials said.
The district reported having more than 3,300 homeless children in this year's homeless count, according to the Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance, a nonprofit that aims to advocate for policy to prevent and end homelessness. Most of the students who are considered homeless "double up," meaning they live two families to a residence. Others live in hotels, cars or shelters.
The Alliance presented Miles with a check for $1,500 to help pay for uniforms for these students. And, the new nonprofit, Heart of Dallas, has committed to match that amount.

Man Accused of Jaywalking Sues NYPD
An 84-year-old New York City man briefly hospitalized in January after he had a physical altercation with police officers arresting him for allegedly jaywalking is suing the city and the New York Police Department.
Attorneys for Kang Chun Wong, of West 97th Street, filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court Thursday seeking $5 million in damages. The suit said Mr. Wong, who is of Chinese descent, suffered mental and physical injuries, "the full extent of which are currently unknown," following the incident on the Upper West Side.
"My father still is traumatized by the whole event," his son, Wei Wong, said Friday at a news conference. "He's not back to his normal self where he's…an independent person."
Mr. Wong was lawfully crossing 96th Street on Jan. 19 when he was "grabbed, pushed against a wall, beaten [and] thrown to the ground causing him to lose consciousness" by NYPD officers, according to the lawsuit.
After he was treated at a local hospital for a bleeding head wound, police eventually released Mr. Wong with a desk appearance ticket "for criminal charges that are without merit," the lawsuit added.
The Manhattan district attorney's office later declined to prosecute the case. The NYPD didn't return a message for comment.
Mr. Wong—flanked by attorney Sanford Rubenstein, his son and daughter-in-law—said "I lost my memory and my ribs still hurt."
Mr. Wong speaks Cantonese and his statements were translated by his daughter-in law, Isabella Wong.
He added he had largely stayed at home for the first two months after the incident: "Right now, when I cross the street it's very scary. I didn't want to go out."
Mr. Rubenstein said Mr. Wong's allegedly heavy-handed treatment is symptomatic of the New York Police Department's "broken windows" policy.
"When an elderly 84-year-old man ends up needing multiple staples to close up a huge wound in his head because of the issue of alleged jaywalking, it's simply not right," he said. "This is not a policy appropriate for 2014."

A beautiful country with beautiful people and a beutiful culture. Hey Mccoy, if Italy had stayed with the Axis, you would be critizing them for being Nazis. Instead they overthrew Mussolini, and you criticize Italians as being "cowards" who didn't want to face the Allies. There's just no winning, is there? I saw Mccoy's comments on Ireland and America. First of all, I gotta say I love Ireland. But come on! Ireland's major role in WWII was getting bitch-slapped by the British because the people of Ireland were supporting the Axis. (Ireland basically figured that anyone who was against their oppressors, the British, was their friend. Of course, Ireland didn't know about the holocaust and all that at the time, but still.)So don't go talkin about Italy's history in WWII if you're not goin to comment on Ireland's. I love the Irish, but I just trying to point out that every people and every culture has something it's ashamed of, so it's plain dick to go around thinkin you're fucking perfect.
McCoy, in your comment about America you sounded like a stuck-up piece of Eurotrash who thinks he's better than "dirty Americans." In your comment about Italy, you just sound like an asshole, man.

The greatest country in the world. Amazing architecture, nice people, great soccer games (called football over there), wonderful food ( Olive garden is not REAL Italian food) , drinking age is 16, and great weather. Ive looked at the other definitions of this country and the only two knocks on it are that its tv sucks and the toilets dont work. First off, the toilets work, that is not true. Second it is true that the tv is not great, but this is probably the reason italians have a wonderful, healthy lifestyle and Americans are fat and ugly. Plus with all the fun stuff to do there who needs tv. I am Italian and take great pride in saying that my family comes from this country. If you ever have a chance to go, DO IT!

6 Non-Medical Excuses That Should Qualify You for a Sick Day
#3. Breakfast Malfunction
So you've woken up without incident. You've excreted and showered like a champ. Even gotten dressed. Now it's off to the kitchen for the most important meal of the day: breakfast. Just a little sustenance to keep you focused. You're no dummy. You know no one likes processing TPS reports with a rumbly tumbly. You pour yourself a bowl of cereal, get a spoon, and . . . oh dear God, THERE'S NO MILK! You've poured cereal with no milk, and now your cheerios mock you with their round cardboardy dryness.
The horror.
Dear Boss,
My stomach is digesting itself as I write this. I know you're always talking about the need to plan ahead and, of course, you're right. In fact, I hope you've noticed the extra hours I've been putting in to stay on top of my assignments. The bad news is that with all the extra work, I haven't had a chance to go shopping. I'm guessing you can see where this is going. Yeah, I didn't buy milk. This cereal is not happening. I guess I'll head out and buy some milk, but I'll have to wait another hour for the supermarket to open and then by the time I buy it, come back and eat it, it will be like midday. So I'll see you tomorrow, and I'll buy some extra milk today in an effort to plan ahead and prevent this in the future.
#2. Ruined Clothing on the Way to Work
So you've made it out of the house. Congratulations, but the road to compensated labor is a long one filled with treachery and deceit. One of the most dangerous threats to the completion of your mission? Public transportation and its evil companions, seats and coffee. I see some of you already know what I'm talking about. (Because I have super blogging powers that allow me to see my readers. Duh. I told you I'd be King some day.) Anyway, for the rest of you, let me explain. It can be super difficult to drink coffee on a bus or train without spilling it on yourself. You hit a bump; a passenger with a backpack gets careless; or Starbucks accidentally sets your coffee from "way too hot" to "flesh-peeling-scalding" and you jerk your cup, dropping a big brown amoeba of an eyesore onto your shirt. Especially, if it's a light blue shirt. Spilled coffee loves light blue shirts. (I know these things for a fact. Again. King.)
Or maybe you successfully navigate your coffee, but the armrest catches your pants pocket as you sit, ripping a hole, or you sit in gum, or you didn't notice that the duct tape holding the seat together is now all over you. The point is, it's a war zone out there, and starting your day with ripped or stained clothing just guarantees failure.
Some people just want to fail.
Dear Boss
So close today. Really. Was about to come in, but wouldn't you know it. Sat in gum and spilled coffee on my light blue shirt. Don't worry, I'm getting it all professionally laundered, but that could take all day. I know. I'm disappointed too, but I wouldn't dream of reflecting poorly on the office, looking anything other than my best.
#1. Seeing Your Ex With Their New Boyfriend/Girlfriend/Husband/Wife
You're almost out of the woods. Head free of fear; bowels voided and steam-cleaned; stomach filled with goodness; and looking your finest in stain-free clothing. This is the day you'll finally make quick work of the Penske file and maybe even clean your desk. You head towards the office and there it is: your ex with her new man. (Or your ex with his new girl if you're a girl, or your ex with her new girl if you're a lesbian or your ex with his new guy if you're a gay man, or maybe you're straight, but now your ex is gay and with their new partner, or maybe yours was an intergalactic romance with a species that eschewed traditional notions of gender, but you see what I'm saying.) They look happy. As happy or happier than when you guys were together. And now you're not together. Maybe you're even glad you're not together. Maybe you were even the one to break it up. Even so, that image will stick with you as it sears into your brain while you hide behind a newsstand to avoid being seen. And if they broke up with you? Well, then forget it. You're not getting any work done today.
For a time, you two were very happy.
Dear Boss,
Remember that time you asked me why I wasn't married, and if I were "some sort of a fag?" And then you laughed and walked away as I tried to explain? First, let me just thank you for taking an interest in my personal life. Also, I wanted to let you know that your question -which obviously had to be meant ironically if you want to avoid allegations of creating a hostile work environment- was really funny. Well, if you'd stayed instead of reading Money magazine in your corner office while occasionally sending me e-mails asking for ETAs on assignments, you would have heard about Rachel - the one who got away. Anyway, I saw Rachel this morning, sucking face with a Calvin Klein underwear model. I'm taking the rest of the week. Thanks.

Mayo Clinic Cancer CenterRochester, MN, USA
POEMS syndrome is defined by the presence of a peripheral neuropathy (P), a monoclonal plasma cell disorder (M), and other paraneoplastic features, the most common of which include organomegaly (O), endocrinopathy (E), skin changes (S), papilledema, edema, effusions, ascites, and thrombocytosis.(1,2) Virtually all patients will have either at least one sclerotic bone lesion, an elevation in plasma levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), or co-existent Castleman's disease. Not all features of the disease are required to make the diagnosis, and early recognition is important to reduce morbidity. Other names for the syndrome include osteosclerotic myeloma, Crow-Fukase Syndrome, or Takatsuki syndrome. Though the pathophysiologic mechanism is not well understood, there is a correlation between treating the underlying clonal plasmaproliferative disorder and clinical improvement. This observation clearly links the plasma cell clone to the peripheral neuropathy and other clinical features, though the mechanism is not yet fully elucidated. Pro-angiogenic and pro-inflammatory cytokines have been shown to track with disease course, and VEGF is considered to be the best putative candidate for underlying pathogenesis.(3,4) Emerging cytokine and molecular data, including cytogenetic findings will be reviewed.(5)
Because a progressive neuropathy is often the dominant feature of the disease, patients are often labeled as having chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Clues that differentiate CIDP from POEMS syndrome are the presence of other paraneoplastic features of the acronym/syndrome and a lack of response to standard CIDP therapies, i.e. intravenous gammaglobulin and plasmapheresis. Instead, the mainstays of therapy for patients with POEMS include irradiation, corticosteroids, and alkylator-based therapy, including high dose chemotherapy with peripheral blood stem cell transplant.(6) Data on novel therapies like bevacizumab and immunomodulatory therapies will be discussed.(7)

Cardinals Hosting MAC Women's Golf in Fishers
MUNCIE, Ind. -- The Ball State women's golf team is set for the Mid-American Conference Championships this weekend in Fishers, Ind.
The Cardinals are the host team for the event, which will be played at The Hawthorns Golf & Country Club. The 54-hole tournament features three rounds over three days. The action begins Friday at 8 a.m. with live scoring available throughout the championships at birdiefire.com.
Coach Katherine Mowat's Ball State team finished second to Toledo on the same course during the fall season at The Preview. Every conference team except Kent State was in the field for that event, where Ball State's Jenna Hague was the individual medalist.
Hague, who is tied for the MAC record with six career individual tournament titles, has won twice at The Hawthorns. She also claimed medalist honors in a playoff when the 2012 MAC Championships were contested there.
The past two MAC medalists are in the field this weekend. Kent State's Jennifer Ha took the top spot last year to help the Golden Flashes to their 15th straight MAC crown. Kent State is the only program to this point to win the MAC team title.
Hague leads the Cardinals with a 73.85 stroke average, which is on pace for the single-season school record. The junior ranks No. 71 nationally in the Golfstat Cup race.
She is one of three Ball State players who will be competing in their third MAC Championships, joining seniors Meghan Perry and Sarah Westaway. Senior Mary Welch and sophomore Karley Dobis will each be making their MAC Championships debuts. Perry, Westaway and Welch each joined Hague with top-20 finishes at The Preview in the fall.
Ball State, coming off its first win of the season at Bowling Green's Dolores Black Falcon Invitational, is the third-highest ranked team in the field this weekend, behind Kent State and Toledo. The Cardinals will be paired with those two teams for Friday's opening round. They are in the final wave of tee times, starting at 9:40 a.m.
The Hawthorns, which will play to a par-72, 6,102-yard layout, will be hosting the MAC Championships for the third time. The Arthur Hills-designed course has been home to numerous qualifiers for the US Open and US Amateur along with Indianapolis and Indiana State Opens. It has also hosted the Indiana PGA Championship, a stop on the LPGA Symetra Tour and the 2007 NCAA Men's Division III National Championships.
Former Ball State golfer Brittany Kelly is an assistant pro at the club. Kelly finished second the first time The Hawthorns hosted the MAC Championships in 2010.
As part of the tournament's social media efforts, all teams, players and fans are encouraged to use #MACWGolf2014 when posting to Twitter and Instagram.

Refers to a motor vehicle that features a creamy interior, while also possessing an exceptionally clean exterior. This is analogous to an ice cream cone in which the "cream" is contained within the interior of the cone while the outside remains clean. Hence, the "Ice Cream Paint Job".
My new car has such a rich, creamy interior, and the exterior is just so clean; all my friends say that I've got an ice cream paint job.

Brian Flynn started the season as a healthy scratch. Now he's on a line with two bona fide NHL players.
He's obviously making the most of his opportunities with the Rochester Americans.
Flynn skated as the right winger for Cody Hodgson and Marcus Foligno on Friday night as the Amerks returned to Buffalo with a 4-1 victory over Lake Erie. He earned the role while putting up nine goals and 19 points in his first 25 games.
"They're obviously NHL hockey players, so my job's not too difficult out there," Flynn said in First Niagara Center. "I just use my speed and work hard and try to win a lot of loose pucks for them. They both generate a ton of offense."
So does Flynn. He signed a one-year contract with the Sabres' organization last spring after excelling at the University of Maine. He skated alongside Hobey Baker Award finalist Spencer Abbott and recorded 18 goals and 48 points in 40 games.
The collegiate success didn't immediately carry over to the American Hockey League. He had just one assist during a five-game tryout at the end of last season, and he started this year as an extra. But right wing Corey Tropp suffered a season-ending knee injury during the opener, giving Flynn an opportunity.
"We had a lot of injuries early on with Corey and then Cody getting hurt and some other guys getting banged up, so he got some really good opportunities early," Amerks coach Ron Rolston said. "He took advantage of it and was one of our leading point guys in terms of production per game. Then he got banged up a bit, and since then he hasn't been as hot as he was early on but certainly has been competing hard and been getting opportunities."
Flynn shined in November while putting up seven goals and 15 points in 10 games. He'd been blanked in seven of nine contests entering Friday but no longer feels out of place with the Amerks.
"There's an adjustment period, but as of now I feel like I'm through that," the 24-year-old said. "I feel settled. The game seems to have slowed down for me. Once you hit that stage, hopefully you just continue to get better.
"There's been some good stretches where I've done well personally and some not-so-good ones, but it's a long year. I'm trying to keep a perspective on things."
Zemgus Girgensons would have rather spent Friday in Russia as a member of Latvia's national team, but he understands why he was in Buffalo playing for the Amerks.
The Sabres' second of two first-round draft picks is only 18 years old and remains eligible for the world junior tournament, which began this week. Latvia named him to its roster, but the Sabres and Amerks declined to release him.
"It was more of the team's choice," Girgensons said. "I didn't really have an opinion on that."
Would he have liked to play?
"Well, it's my country," he said. "You can't get upset. This is where I'm playing. If I can help this team, it's a lift for me."
Girgensons entered Friday with two goals and six points in 23 games.
"I'm just trying to get better where I can," he said. "I think lately it's been going real good."
Luke Adam started this season where he left off the last one: doing next to nothing. That changed this month. Adam entered Friday's game with five goals and nine points in 10 December contests, a hot streak that toned down his sluggish start. The forward had just two goals and five points in the opening 15 games.
"The most important thing with Luke is lately he's decided to go out there and make things happen," Rolston said. "I think early on he was just waiting for other guys to help him along in that process and make things happen and he'd finish on things.
"He's doing things you need to do to create the offense. In this league and the same at the higher level, you've got to get to the net and I think he's doing a better job of that. He's getting around the net more and getting deflections and second opportunities."

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Norman Church was obsessed with winning the 2013 Lipton Cup Regatta off the Atlantic waters of New Smyrna Beach. So much so that he skippered "Obsession" into victory in the Spinnaker Class.
The regatta was held Saturday and Sunday with the first day much rougher going in the choppy waters.
"Building seas became quite a challenge resulting in four competing boats retiring with equipment or crew problems on Saturday," the Smyrna Yacht Club said in a press release. "Sunday, light and shifty easterly breezes slowly increased providing for a fair and competitive race course."
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Dennis Jones, one of the Sunshine State's top cops, wants to come home. The Tallahassee police chief and former Daytona Beach police chief is among seven semi-finalists to become New Smyrna Beach's next police chief.
Jones, by far is the most experienced and high profile of the seven semi-finalists to lead the New Smyrna Beach police force. He and Acting Police Chief Michael Brouillette, the only New Smyrna Beach PD applicant, have the strongest name recognition among the seven in the running to replace Ron Pagano who retired in December.

The Buffalo School Board approved a $794 million general fund budget Wednesday as part of a spending plan that totals $908 million when all the grants the district receives are included.
The district's budget process began in November and, for the first time, gave principals and their building leadership teams the ability to directly determine some of the staffing levels in their schools.
However, the final, two-week budget approval process represents the briefest approval process of any of the "Big Five" city school districts in the state. The short time frame limited both districtwide public input into the budget and the district's own lobbying efforts with the city.
The 2013-2014 budget document outlines $14 million in increased spending, largely because of rising costs of employee benefits, despite the net reduction of employees by 30 and budget savings because of the closure of some school buildings.
Superintendent Pamela Brown said she was "ecstatic" about the budget's adoption and called it the product of a long, collaborative process." She said the budget safeguards and prioritizes classroom instruction above all else.
"We've looked at those strategic priorities and really reconfirmed the fact that the core of our work is what happens in the classroom every day," she said.
The budget was approved, 6-1, with board member Jason McCarthy voting against. Board members Ralph Hernandez and Louis Petrucci were absent for the final vote.
Many board members expressed deep criticism Wednesday about the limited funding provided by the city and state.
"Every year we go through these gyrations where we're trying to figure out the least critical area where we have to sacrifice the quality of education we're providing our children," said board member John Licata.
Among the highlights, the budget:
• Will cut 50 school bus aides through attrition for a savings of $500,000.
• Should save about $2 million by consolidating or eliminating many classes with enrollments of fewer than 15 students each.
• Will consolidate and lengthen elementary in-school suspension programs for a savings of $720,000. Instead of half-day programs at 19 elementary schools, in-school suspension programs will be lengthened to full-day programs centered at five school sites.
• Includes the closure of six schools, many of them temporary "swing" schools used to house students while their home schools were being renovated as part of the district's reconstruction plan. Those closures are expected to save the district more than $800,000.
• Will spend $31 million in reserves as part of its deficit-reduction plan.
• Adopts a new "school-based budgeting" system that gives principals and their leadership teams more autonomy to determine their own staffing needs.
Based on the 84-page budget, it appears that more principals opted to spend their discretionary dollars on core subjects, while giving up more teachers in instrumental music and foreign languages.
• Would keep class sizes unchanged from this year.
• Will increase city funding by $171,000 to pay for more attendance teachers.
The budget also adds money to enhance certain programs. Those include the creation of STAR Academy, a new program aimed at serving over-age and undercredited students; the expansion of extended-day programs and related costs at low-performing schools; and the purchase of more core-subject textbooks so high school students will no longer have to share them.
The budget for the 2013-2014 school year was approved barely two weeks after the preliminary budget was unveiled before the Buffalo Common Council on May 9. Among the five largest school districts in the state, which include Rochester, Syracuse, Yonkers and New York City, Buffalo's formal adoption process is by far the shortest.
The Syracuse school board adopted a preliminary budget on March 19, two weeks before the mayor presented her budget to the Common Council. The board adopted a final budget on April 10.
In Yonkers, the superintendent released a proposed budget on April 15, but had made a budget lobbying presentation to the city in January.
And in Rochester, the district most similar to Buffalo in student enrollment, the superintendent issued a proposed budget on March 25.
That preliminary budget was accompanied by a detailed press release outlining the budget priorities and highlighted six upcoming public sessions to review the budget, including two public hearings in April.
That stands in stark contrast to Buffalo, where none of the above happened after the proposed budget was released, except for a single finance committee meeting. Instead, school board members met privately, in small groups with Chief Financial Officer Barbara J. Smith.
Smith did, however, also meet with members of the District Parent Coordinating Council, a gesture that was greatly appreciated, said DPCC President Samuel Radford.
Superintendent Brown said that once the district's strategic plan is complete, more people will understand the district's future priorities. Regarding the budget approval timeline, she said, "We're open to any good ideas on how we can improve on the process."

In many churches, the readings on the first Sunday after Ash Wednesday (the First Sunday in Lent) have Jesus appearing in the wilderness and holding his own against the tempter's power to do him in.
Though the account of Jesus' temptation occurs at the end of his 40 day fast, it is read near the beginning of the season of Lent when those of us who have committed ourselves to some Lenten discipline of self-denial can still remember what it was that we intended to forgo. Enough days have lapsed, however, that we've become well aware of how difficult it might be to make it happen for the 40 long days until Easter.
This year, the account of the temptation of Jesus came from the Gospel according to Luke.
It can be really depressing. Here we are, just at the beginning of our struggle to go without lunch or chocolate or some other treat and Jesus walks in and fends off all of the devil's temptations, and on an empty stomach!
We do well to remember that the purpose of any Lenten discipline is not to achieve some heroic reenactment of Jesus in the wilderness, nor is it to rise to some high level of righteous self-discipline so as not to need Jesus at all. Rather, we mark these 40 days of Lent in self-denial or abundance, as a time to contemplate our own vulnerability in the face of temptation and to cherish the great gift of Christ's life and death in our place.
So read the account of Jesus in the wilderness and rejoice in saying, "Better him than me."

btw the rules are pretty ridiculous. If you wanna win you gotta counterciv as hard as possible:
Iro > Otto > India > Iro
These 3 civs > all other civs.
So when your opponent takes otto you take iro, then if he switches to india you take otto which means that you will just have to counterciv him to death and win the tournement. Its about the one who can continue switching civs for the longest period of time without getting bored, that one will have the biggest chance of winning ...
Well thankyou for your response again, but as per the rules, they are made for the Professional players who knows how to and from which civ you want to chose to play your best with your own tactics and that's where Pro stuff is tested and that's y this rules are made Some of the more reasons y i did this:
# For testing the real good Pro player and not a Lammer with his Home civilization;
# For avoiding the Op Civilizations to be used continuously for spawning their wins;
# For making it fun and more challenging for the players to test their skills.

Braff, 39, documented his busy schedule promoting Wish I Was Here, the first feature film he's written and directed since 2004's breakthrough coming-of-age comedy Garden State.
Also starring Kate Hudson, Josh Gad and Mandy Patinkin, Wish I Was Here was funded with Kickstarter and hits theaters July 18. The movie is equal parts funny and touching – just like Braff as he took over PEOPLE's Twitter on Monday, revealing his pure love for One Direction's Harry Styles.
Relive Braff's day below, from his studio stops at the Today show and SiriusXM to a behind-the-scenes look at the film's premiere and a special Scrubs reunion.

The hardest erection one can achieve. An erection so hard the head of the penis goes from a velvety matt to a high gloss finish, so red and full of rage that its almost purple, those creating a Purple Sheen off the head of the penis.

We are not The Journal News
December 30, 2012
Our newspaper has a pretty nondescript name: The Journal. A lot of people call it the Martinsburg Journal. That's not right....
If there is nothing ethically wrong with publishing names and addresses of people who have purchased a legal product, then I wonder how many liberals would say they have no problem with the media publishing the names and addresses of everyone who has subscribed to Playboy or who has taken part in a partial birth abortion. I think there would be howls about "Our right to privacy" THEN.

"But listing everyone, putting little dots on the map like they are sex offenders? What purpose does that serve other than to shock?"
"Grotesque comparison."
I see nothing wrong with the comparison. If we use the SOR as a model, why not list all the other places where there are dangers? How's about a list of those convicted of DUIs? Or, those over 85 with driver's licenses? Surely it's in everyone's best interests to know where people keep pit bulls. Me, I want to know which households have had reports of domestic violence - I certainly wouldn't want my children going to those houses.

Study Abroad Requirement
Study Abroad
Students will choose a Spanish speaking country or can also choose from one of our partnership schools in Latin America. This can be a study abroad or internship opportunity, according to your interests.
Richard Leeflang
I spent a summer semester studying and working in Bucaramanga, Colombia, fulfilling requirements for my Spanish and Latin American studies major while gaining experience and knowledge for my second major, Nursing. In collaboration with the Universidad de Santander, I completed 336 hours of clinical time, working directly with professors, clinical instructors, and other student nurses, all within various adult and pediatric intensive care units. During this time, I also completed required Latin American literature and cultural studies under the supervision of Westminster professors. Beyond the work and studies, I had plenty of time to explore, travel, and experience Colombia's incredible culture from outside the scope of a mere tourist. Having just graduated with double majors in Spanish and Latin American Studies and Nursing, I am so much more appreciative of my education and the fact that I am much better rounded personally and professionally. The skills and knowledge I have gained at Westminster will be carried and treasured beyond my professional life, and into how I react to and interpret the world.
Jeremy Reynoso
I studied abroad in Puebla, Mexico, at the Universidad Popular Autonoma de Puebla. My semester included attending class with Mexican students, reading Mexican literature, visiting pyramids, and volunteering as an English teacher in a public school, however, I did find time to relax on the beach and play in a soccer tournament. Thanks to the friends that I made in Mexico, I was able to travel extensively throughout the country, and a year later, I remain in contact with many of them. Overall, my experience is something I will never regret.

NEW RIEGEL - The amount of experience shouting instructions from the benches was beyond compare - a combined 58 years of coaching and 935 wins paced the sidelines Tuesday.
But inside the lines, it was Miranda Palmer's game.
The senior drained eight 3-pointers and had seven points in the fourth quarter and four key foul shots in overtime to lead Arcadia to a 53-49 win over New Riegel.
Fact Box
Arcadia 53, New Riegel 49
Arcadia (18-3): Regina Fox 1-0-2; Miranda Palmer 8-5-29; Maddie Mock 0-0-0; Rebecca Kirian 1-0-2; Molly Glick 5-0-10; Courtney Cramer 2-4-10; Abbie Dauterman 0-0-0. Totals: 17-9-53.
New Riegel (16-5): Taylor Arbogast 9-2-20; Taylor Kirian 3-1-7; Kara Scherger 4-1-10; Lauren Ladd 2-2-6; Abby Cassidy 2-1-6; Morgan Noftz 0-0-0. Totals: 20-7-49.
Arcadia14139116 - 53
New Riegel1518952 - 49
Field goals: Arcadia 17-51; New Riegel 20-47.
3-point goals: Arcadia 10-27 (Palmer 8, Cramer 2); New Riegel 2-3 (Scherger, Cassidy).
Foul shots: Arcadia 9-11; New Riegel 7-10.
Rebounds: Arcadia 20 (Glick 6, Kirian 5); New Riegel 34 (Ladd 14, Arbogast 7).
Turnovers: Arcadia 14; New Riegel 22.
The result kept New Riegel's Steve Lucius stuck at 499 career wins in his 28th year of coaching while long-time Arcadia mentor Randy Baker, in his 30th year of coaching, gained win No. 437.
"She usually is [an amazing shot], you can count on that. I thought we did a pretty good job on her," Lucius said after his team suffered its third consecutive loss and fell to 16-5.
Along with her game-high 29 points, Palmer added five assists and three steals.
And when the Blue Jackets lost her, Palmer made them pay.
After she split a pair of foul shots to cut New Riegel's lead to 44-39, New Riegel's Taylor Arbogast scored on drive to put the Blue Jackets up by seven with 5:15 left in the fourth quarter.
Eight New Riegel turnovers came after Arbogast's shot pushed the lead to 46-39, with the Blue Jackets not scoring from the field the rest of the way.
Meanwhile, Palmer sandwiched two 3-pointers off turnovers around Molly Glick's jumper from the elbow to put the Redskins up 47-46 with 3:12 to go.
"That's what they do and they do it very well," Lucius said. "We're more of a kind of a get-it-inside team. We tried the whole game, and we had some success with it.
"Believe it or not, we played really good defense. We played them hard. We boarded well, gave them one shot and gave ourself plenty of opportunity to win the game," he said. "We just had some turnovers down the stretch and into overtime."
It stayed 47-46 Arcadia's way until less than 30 seconds remained in the fourth.
Palmer's bad pass gave the Blue Jackets hope, but Arcadia's Regina Fox came up with a steal and Palmer drew a foul and went to the line with 14.2 seconds left.
She missed the front end of a 1-and-1, and, after a timeout, New Riegel's Kara Scherger drew a foul after an inbound lob. Scherger's first foul shot tied the game with 7.5 seconds left, but she missed the second and the ball bounced out of bounds off a Redskin.
New Riegel inbounded to Lauren Ladd, but she couldn't get a shot off before the buzzer.
All of the scoring in overtime came on foul shots.
Palmer broke two ties from the line in the extra period, with her final two coming with 12 seconds left for a 51-49 lead.
New Riegel sprinted down court, but Scherger's driving shot in the lane - the only try from the field in overtime by the Blue Jackets - missed. Arcadia got the rebound and worked the ball to Courtney Cramer, who was fouled and sealed the game with a half second to go on her way to 10 points.
"It was just an amazing game. Neither team backed down. Two good teams going at it, and everybody took everybody's best punch," Baker said.
"I've had a lot of respect for (New Riegel's) program. I've seen them play for years, and Steve, the job he does with these kids. It's two great teams," he said. "These two teams played a really great game, and that's what you'd expect."
Glick backed Palmer with 10 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals, and Arcadia (18-3) also got three steals each from Fox and Rebecca Kirian.
Arbogast's 20 points and seven boards led the Blue Jackets, and Ladd had six points and 14 rebounds. Scherger scored 10 points, Taylor Kirian ended with seven points and Abby Cassidy had six points and three assists.
"They all played well. They all played their role," Lucius said. "We had a game plan, they followed it. Just came up a little bit short against a very good team."
