Ovarian cancer usually produces no symptoms until it is in an advanced stage. Very few women have it detected early on a routine pelvic exam or because it produced a symptom.
At your annual checkup and Pap smear or when you have symptoms, you will be asked about your medical history. A physical exam will be done. It will include a pelvic exam.
Tests may include:
If the pelvic exam reveals abnormalities, or you have worrisome complaints, further tests may include:
If cancer is found, the prognosis and treatment depend on the location, size, and stage of the cancer, as well as your general health. Staging is a careful attempt to determine whether the cancer has spread and, if it has, what body parts are affected.
Additional tests to determine staging may include:
The following stages are used to classify cancer of the ovary:
Beyond staging, a pathologist looks at the tumor through a microscope. The appearance of the cancer cells gives a good idea of how aggressive the cancer is. Grading the cancer adds to the staging information to help determine how best to treat you.

What is it about miniatures that everyone finds so fascinating?
Just like gardening has seen a resurgence in interest in the past 20 years, so has the world of miniatures. It was about that long ago that I acquired a doll house.
This doll house is huge, probably too big for storing my house, yet I managed to incorporate the help of the husband to build it from the bottom up and proceeded to decorate it with tiny furnishings from pots and pans to pictures I hung on the tiny wallpapered walls.
As our granddaughter grew older, she took over the care of the doll house, which is still at our house, but is now under her supervision. She changes things the way she wants, including fresh paint jobs for the second and third story bedrooms and rearrangements of the furniture. When she visits, I never know what I'll find when she's gone home. Sometimes she leaves the tiny family in their beds and other times they are relaxing in the living room or standing around the wrap-around porch.
''When are you going to put the roof on?'' she asks when she visits.
''One of these days,'' we tell her. The roof is stuffed in a closet - somewhere - still in pieces. Maybe it will be finished by the time her children play with it.
The fascination with miniatures isn't just for doll houses though. Along with the interest in gardens and gardening, miniature gardens have also gained popularity. Generally in gardening, miniature garden is translated to fairy garden or train garden, but it doesn't have to be that way.
Because there is so much interest in miniature gardening, cultivators have been working hard to come up with new varieties of miniature plants. These plants aren't just smaller versions of larger plants with the same size leaves and flowers, but are actually tiny plants with tiny leaves and flowers. After my interest in the doll house waned, but not my interest in miniature gardens, I searched online and found several sources for miniature plants. My favorites were tiny conifers.
Dwarf conifers aren't what you think. While they are indeed quite small, usually gracing the garden at around 6 to 12 inches, they are in fact plants that will continue to grow. The trick is that they grow very slowly, usually only an inch a year. If you maintain a dwarf conifer for 20 years, it will not be such a dwarf any longer. Conifers fascinate me anyway. These shrubs and trees may not produce lovely, colorful flowers, but the plants themselves are so diverse, they can be a garden all by themselves.
Conifers are plants that have broad, scale-like needles or leaves. Not all conifers are evergreen, although most of them are. Some examples are Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides), Ginkgo, Bald Cypress and several species of Larch. These trees are deciduous, meaning they lose their leaves in the fall. Conifers that are evergreen include pine, fir, yew, juniper and cedar.
There are other miniature plants besides dwarf conifers and some do bloom. Miniature roses are particularly popular. We often see them encased in brightly colored foil wrapped containers in the grocery stores. Not only are they easy to grow, they are easy to grow from seeds. Many rock garden plants are miniatures, including Campanula poscharskyana, with its small bell-shaped lavender flowers, or several varieties of dwarf dianthus, commonly called 'pinks.'
Many miniature gardens seem to carry a particular theme. While fairy or train gardens are the most popular, you also can go with a woodland theme, or even a city park theme with buildings and streets that encircle a central park with a pond and tiny people enjoying themselves on a warm, sunny day.
Garden centers are catching on as well, and more and more garden decorations can be found that carry miniature replicas of much larger yard art.
The point is to have fun with it and use your imagination. You don't have to settle for just fairies or trains that run through tunnels - unless, of course, you really like them.

Non-renewed West Branch HS teacher on paid leave
May 2, 2013
BELOIT— The West Branch High School English teacher the school board non-renewed last week has been placed on paid administrative leave, according to school records....
How many should they be responsible for? As many as are allowed by their mutually negotiated contract.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I noticed that in both the Salem News article and The Review article they failed to mention that about 40% of the "absent" days were due to workshops of other supervisor mandated activities. It is those workshops that in part qualified Tracie to teach dual credit classes. And when did being a loving and caring mother and being there for a child having surgery become a deficiency. A person shouldn't have to choose between being a good parent or a teacher. They are compatible endeavors.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
psafkow just out of curiosity just how many "unusual family circumstances" do you think the tax payers should be bound and responsible for in a teacher's personal life?
You know I can understand the bond that grows between students and their teachers, but using children as your crutch for sympathy in disciplinary issues...really?
The only people the board better be taking into consideration is the parents and the education of those students. Taxpayers that can not be happy about being taxed for a teacher and her problems in her private life. If this had been about her and illness that had affected her, that might be understandable. Paid leave to take care of her child at home? Sorry that is crossing the line.
0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Her absences are within her allowable time off and due to a medical problem with one of her daughters. In the time since her absences were mentioned as a potential problem, she has taken steps to basically cut them in half. Hopefully, the board is paying attention to the comments of her former and current students. If they do, they would never let her go.

Totally something WRONG with this picture! You read this stuff and it will literally leave your mouth hanging open!
So what they are really saying is this...She was a failure and because the board was a failure they are shoring up her failures with rewards because they were a failure! All done at the expense and burden on the TAXPAYERS! Yep, great system!

The R4i SDHC Card for Nintendo DS, DS Lite, DSi & DSi XL is a popular and affordable slot-1 flash cart solution that allows you to launch games, run applications and play media directly from the device. Simply place your files onto either a micro SD or SDHC memory card (sold separately), insert the micro SD into your R4i SDHC, your cart into your DS, and turn the system on. Playing games and media has never been easier!
Why is it better than the regular R4 DS or the R4 SDHC? Because the R4i SDHC is compatible with the Nintendo DSi and DSi XL/LL - even consoles flashed with 1.4.1 firmwares, unlike the original R4 DS. Note that the card contains renewed hardware and thus uses different system files.
Note: The R4i SDHC is an upgraded version of the R4 DS cart which brings in compatibility with MicroSDHC and Nintendo DSi/DSi XL consoles.
The R4 DS received the Bronze Award on GBAtemp at its time of review:
The R4 DS is a slot 1 DS flash kit designed to play ROMs. I may be stating the obvious here, but the point is; that's what it's meant to do, and it does it very well...

When updated with its latest firmware, the R4i SDHC offers the following functionality:
Posted by Austin Wunschel on 19th May 2010
Now don't be fooled by the name R4i SDHC, it's nothing like the original R4DS. In fact it's a hybrid type clone, sporting the R4DS main menu, but DSTT file browser. The Slot-2 option actually houses the options menu. There's lots of little options like skin selection and sleep settings.
The file browser is the main downside to this cart. It simply lists everything on the card, no matter what folder you browse to. it even lists your saves. Not pretty when you think about it.
Game compatibility is very very good! I tried like 40 games with no problems at all. Really even the Castlevania titles play perfectly.
The top screen houses some interesting things. It lists your SD card's formated size and file system.
I won't get into anything else, but I will say I think the card is worth the money.

I got mine like last year and i was very happy all the games run perfect (almost) and the file browser displays only nds roms but not the hidden ones. the 3rd button (at this time) has 2 options 1 to edit the setting likes skins and stuff and the second option update for when there is an update avalible for dsi 1.5.0 or 3ds 2.1.1 you can easily update. downsides on the back of the box it says it has a bulit in slot 2 loader for nds and ndsl there is no loader for me. if you have a dsl your in for a surprise. the r4i's default brightness setting is 4 you can change it but it gets really annoying so i use ysmenu for that. also the cheats aren't very accurate i have downloaded Super Mario 64 DS (U) v 1.0 Cheats work fine. in v 1.1 the cheats are for v 1.0 so they don't work so i use ysmenu for that too.0 out of 0 users found this review useful.

Besides what others have said here, mostly about the card itself, (which btw way is all true) The support is quite nice. If a new gave has AR, they should have an update within a week, that completely fixes the problem! very nice.0 out of 0 users found this review useful.

bought 2 of these one works as when it feels like it and the other is a nice piece of useless plastic.
1 faulty but 2 come on guys atleast test the stuff if someone pays the extra to have it preloaded!! especially before sending them halfway round the globe.
first time customer and probably only time due to very poor support and mediocre at best customer service.
Posted by satisfied customer on 25th Nov 2010
This is my first attempt with a flashcart; and i must say that i am thoroughly pleased with my choice. It took me all of 10 minutes to figure out; most of which were spent playing with the configurations. :) Priced very nicely. Shipping was a long time (tomorrow would have been 1 month to the day); but also a very long distance(East Tennessee, USA).0 out of 0 users found this review useful.
Posted by Angelo Fiorillo on 25th Oct 2010
Despite the photo that, to date, reports "v1.4" the flashcard is "v1.4.1", as per the title.
Ultra-fast worldwide shipping, lowest price out there, I would recommend this shop site as one of the best I've tried in fifteen years of e-shopping! Cheers!

After struggling with a r4i gold (the R4iDS one listed on this site), which played less than 50% of my roms, I bought this one which has played every rom so far. Yes the menu does list every single game/file but I'm prepared to put up with that. Excellent.0 out of 0 users found this review useful.

INDIANAPOLIS � Who�s the best athlete? The best quarterback? How about the emergence of the read-option and whether it will impact this year�s NFL draft and free agency?
A rundown of 10 storylines, none of them related to Manti Te�o, from this year�s NFL combine:
1: Expect another shake-up atop the draft board after this weekend�s craziness.
Defensive tackle Star Lotulelei went home after being diagnosed with a heart condition, cornerback Dee Milliner is preparing for shoulder surgery, and offensive tackle Eric Fisher appears to be closing the gap on Luke Joeckel, the presumptive No. 1 pick (hello, Kansas City?).
Some analysts are moving guard Chance Warmack and defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd into the top five.
2: Nothing is more important at the combine than passing a physical, and nothing can hurt a draft prospect�s stock faster than a bad exam.
Just ask Lotulelei, who generally has been ranked in the top three since the college season ended. After doctors diagnosed the Utah star with a heart condition, he was sent home to see a specialist. Before he even left town, some teams already were saying he�d be off their draft board if he couldn�t get cleared.
3: Teams looking for an Andrew Luck or a Robert Griffin III or even a Jake Long will be hard pressed to find a franchise anchor at the top of the 2013 draft.
That means the big winners will be the teams looking to fill in around Luck, Griffin or Cam Newton because this year�s talent pool runs deep. And teams may find more value in dealing for Alex Smith or Matt Flynn than drafting Geno Smith or Matt Barkley, and those rumors already are flying.
4: Coaches and general managers often talk about building teams around the line of scrimmage. This year, they can show they mean it.
Of the 333 players who attended this week�s combine, 112 (33.6 percent) either were offensive or defensive linemen. Fans might want to start learning names such as Corey Lemonier (Auburn DE) and Eric Herman (Ohio State OL).
5: This year�s rookie class will keep the NFL�s background checkers busy through draft weekend.
There are plenty of concerns that need to be sorted out, from drug use and alcohol abuse to academic woes and criminal allegations. Teams want some sort of certainty that they�re not going to be risking too much by using a high pick on a talented player such as Alec Ogletree (DUI arrest: Feb. 16) and then having to contend with more problems.
6: Fans become enamored with things such as times in the 40-yard dash and the number of reps players have on the bench press.
Scouts prefer to look at the tape.
The reality is the workout warriors (see: Mike Mamula) in shorts don�t always meet the expectations in pads. Don�t believe it? Here are the top five 40 times since 2000: Trindon Holliday, Jacoby Ford, Chris Johnson, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Demarcus Van Dyke.
7: Defensive lineman Walter Stewart of Cincinnati and Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones were told they would have to give up football in college after doctors discovered congenital spinal conditions.
Both have been cleared to play and hope to embark on NFL careers.
Then there�s defensive back D.J. Hayden, who tore a heart vein in a practice collision in November and was rushed into surgery. He�s now on the verge of fulfilling a lifelong dream.
8: While there is debate about who will be the first quarterback taken this year � Matt Barkley, Mike Glennon, Geno Smith or someone else � few analysts believe there�s a top-10 quarterback available.
9: No conference has been better at winning national championships over the last decade, and now the Southeastern Conference� domination is carrying over to the NFL.
The SEC easily had the highest number of players at the combine (73) and could have the highest total of first-round picks in April, too, thanks in large part to the contingents from Alabama and LSU.
The ACC had the second-most invites (43), with the Pac-12 third (38).
10: American football suddenly is becoming a hit overseas, too.
Players at this year�s combine were born or reared in the following countries: Australia, England, Estonia, Ghana, Germany, Japan, Liberia and Tonga.
Not everyone believes American football is a great sport, as defensive lineman Magus Hunt, a native of Estonia, can attest. But it�s a start for a league that is trying to give its game a global spin.

Chaos Buffalo Games
Majority Owner and Westminster Alumni:
Jacob Kovac '12
Launched in 2013
Approximate Yearly Revenue: Pre-revenue
Industry: Software
Company Overview: Chaos Buffalo Games is a video game development studio with a focus on creating cross-platform multitouch games and tools for game development. We believe there is a growing accessibility issue in the market for game development tools resulting from recent trends in hardware and the growth of new operating systems. Most game development tools currently run only on Windows or OSX with plans only to allow their developers to target Android and iOS devices for their finished products. With emerging markets and younger generations prefering tablet and smartphones to the traditional setup, it is imperative to create tools that allow potential artists and developers to take advice of the power of these devices. Our mission is to "give our customers the power to develop and share games for any platform, on any platform." The custom, open-source technology stack underlying everything we do allows us to quickly and painlessly build software for nearly every combination of hardware, software, and input devices out there. Whether it is a Windows, OSX, Linux, Android, or iOS device using any combination of input types: mouse, keyboard, gamepad, touchscreen, or motion sensors like the Microsoft Kinect. We firmly believe that anyone with a computer should have the power to create and express themselves, regardless of that computer's hardware and OS, and our game engine is the first game engine built from the ground up with development on mobile and desktop platforms in mind.
Future Growth Plans: Chaos Buffalo Games is currently developing the first game to use our inhouse engine, 'You're the Captain of a Spaceship', a game about exploration, interstellar trade, and piracy heavily inspired by the Age of Discovery. The game is currently planned for release 3rd quarter 2014, with a paid beta beginning earlier in the year.
Major Accomplishments: Our game engine, began in April of 2013, currently clocks in at over 12,000 lines of code representing ~3 years worth of development time using the COCOMO model.

Students and teachers access The Cafe© through their school's Learning Management System (LMS) such as Instructure's Canvas LMS. Cranium Cafe's interactive learning whiteboard is more then a learning website, it allows relationship building between teachers and students and peer-to-peer. The Cranium Cafe one-on-one online collaboration tool contributes to increased academic achievements, graduation goals, and academic enrollment.
Future Growth Plans: Cranium Cafe is already positioned to offer The Cafe communications platform and the Cafe Scheduler for private companies. We will install our software into their client management system (CMS) so they can communicate with customers on a global scale. We have also begun to develop this software into a micro enterprise system which will be a knowledge marketplace. The micro enterprise system will allow individuals their own cafe and profile for their virtual storefront. They can set their hourly rate and share their knowledge and receive payment for their one-one-one knowledge sharing.
Major Accomplishments: This is Tracy Diven's third business. The first is Photoge, a photo simulations company that simulates the end construction of cellular tower. The second company is Photoge Designs that specializes in web site development, branding, and print design. For Michael Gorham, this is also his third tech company. And, this is Greg Diven's fourth company. Also, we have built this software with pure sweat equity. We have not taken any funding and we own the company solely.

A federal judge has ordered the Internal Revenue Service to refund nearly $1.2 million plus interest to LP Ciminelli, a local construction company.
The judgment stems from a dispute over income taxes the IRS claimed were owed by Ciminelli in 2004 as a result of accounts payable held by Cowper Construction, a Ciminelli subsidiary that had previously closed.
Daniel C. Oliverio, a lawyer for Ciminelli, said the company was required to pay the tax bill before it could challenge the IRS's position in federal court.
The matter went to trial last year and U.S. District John T. Curtin ruled in the company's favor and ordered the government to refund the money Ciminelli had paid plus $219,537 in interest.

Product DescriptionWinchester AA TrAAcker shotshells feature a specially designed wad that captures a small amount of shot to ensure the wad tracks the shot cloud down range. Notched helical wad petals stabilize the wad forcing it to travel in the center of the shot cloud. This allows the shooter to better understand misses and is an excellent training aid. Winchester AA TrAAcker shotshells are available with either a black or bright orange wad. The black wad is perfect when used in bright light conditions while the orange wad is best when used in low light conditions such as cloudy days. Uniquely colored hulls allow you to easily identify and differentiate TrAAcker shotshells in your field bag. Box of 25 shells.

A device made from a strobe light and a piece of infrared plastic that's used to change traffic lights which have Opticon sensors. Used by ambulenses and shady people to get through traffic quickly. Probably named chrome box because a strobelight reflector looks chrome-like. It's probably illegal in 75 states.
I save 45 minutes from my trip to work everyday with this chrome box foo, fuck da po-leece dey ain't never gonna katch me.

Wildan is a rare direct Quranic name for boys that means "boys of Paradise," boys who are mentioned in the Quran as being in Paradise. They are amazingly beautiful and there is many of them for each person/family, they will be workers/servants who will carry out work like bringing food to the family and guests, etc.

I have had to step down from my beloved, but heavy (because stuffed) Carezza tech messenger bag. This bag has great virtues, including having a key fob (Yay!), and plenty of slots for cards. The middle compartment holds my glasses without letting them get crushed, and the cell-phone pocket holds my Droid just fine. Its problems are as follows: the currency pocket will not hold a checkbook; the interior zip pocket will not hold a checkbook; the key fob is too far down in the bag; and the cell phone pocket is on the wrong side of the zipper - if you are using it as a music player, most of the bag, including all your credit cards, is open (this is not a good idea). I am happy to report that the outside stash pocket will take a checkbook, and hide it reasonably well.Overall, not a bad choice. Since the point was to cut down the amount of impedimenta I was carrying, it's ideal. It might be less so for someone with more needs than I have.

This is a gorgeous bag and the workmanship is terrific. My quibble is with the function, especially the credit card slots: they are too narrow and tight to be useful. I tore a cuticle trying to get the second card in, and gave up after breaking a fingernail on the fourth. The inside pocket is a little too small for my phone, the pen holder doesn't quite fit around my (Levenger Bambino Ballpoint) pen, and so on.I set this bag aside to be my "dressy" purse and have reverted to my older Carezza bag (can't remember the name - it has a foldover flap in front) until I can afford to try something else.If you don't carry much and have a very small wallet, this is a lovely handbag.

Gorgeous organizer handbag
By lumcookie
from Bay Area,CA
I have been eyeing this bag since it came out...it finally went on sale and with a 75.00 gift card earned from previous purchase I finally ordered it.I'm very happy with the bag overall, the suppleness and color of the leather is of beautiful quality. Fully appreciate the two length straps available, so convenient for varying occasions.I gave 4 stars for functionality due to the tightness of the credit card slots, extremely hard to get cards in and out. needs an extra 1/8-1/4 inch of space to make it perfect!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Carezza Organizer Handbag

I purchased the bag because I can carry my iPAD in the center pocket. I love the bag. I've gotten complments on the bag. It's functional but very stylish. That's important to me since I carry the bag into customer meetings. I plan to purchase another bag. Great buy!
So soft and well organized
By DBS15
This is a beautiful bag -- it has a place for everything without feeling like you are toting a suitcase. Well organized, well made and beautiful and stylish.
Carezza Organizer good value
By Elenad
I bought the purple Carezza organizer about 8 years ago, and have used it regularly. The leather, which is wonderfully soft, has held up to lots of use. It resists scratches and fading, looks practically new. The stitching has also held up, no unraveling. The lining and interior pockets show no sign of wear. The edges are all finished securely, so no scraggly threads. I have a Todd purse that cost much more, but did not stay new looking very long. And the cheaper bags got tacky looking very quickly. For this reason, I think the Carezza, while not cheap, is good value for the money since you don't need to replace it as often.
So Cool

Review in a Poem
By RedSouthernLady
I searched in vain for a pen that wroteMy cell phone, my keys, my checkbook, my notesMy bag itself was ragged and threadbareThe straps were shabby, the clasp showing wearI had even resorted, to a bag within a bagBut that didn't work, I still looked a hagAnd one magical day, I was searching on the netI saw a solution to my endless fretIt was a tote, it was purple, it had lots of storageIt was not frumpy, not too large, and in which I didn't have to forage.The leather was soft, it felt like butterIt was smart, and classy and organized my clutter.It's a bag from Levenger, what a findIts sorted my time, my life, my mind!
Quality of Carezza Bag
By Healer

I feel organized. I am able to get all my required information and thing into this purse with ease. The choice of two straps makes it appealing to me ... when I am with my friends ... I can use the long strap for a hands free expeience ... for my personal life I like the short strap ... keeping it close at all times. This is perfect for my life style.

Fresh produce and locally made goods are coming to St. George this week with the launch of the towns first farmers market.
The market will be held on Thursdays from 2 - 6 p.m. starting April 24, and will conclude on Oct. 2. It will be located at the Klauber Building, 225 N. Parler Ave. in St. George.
According to Market Manager Jennifer Quattlebaum, the town has been working toward establishing a larger community event for some time. The market is the brainchild of Team St. George, a taskforce of community leaders established by St. George Mayor Anne Johnston last year.
We decided on the market because it benefits the community and because of the strong agricultural base in St. George and the upper county. Its a win-win, Quattlebaum said.
Dorchester County announced the market in a press release last week. It describes the market as a partnership between the Town of St. George and the county, but Quattlebaum said no county money is being used to fund it. Rather, the county has been supporting the market through leadership; last year Alison Simmons, the community development manager for the county Economic Development Department, was assigned to lead Team St. George and has been spearheading the group ever since, Quattlebaum said.
Although theyre not partners, she said they also have a working relationship with Clemson Extension Service that will benefit the market. In addition to traditional market fare, there will also be weekly entertainment and the Clemson Extension Service will give live cooking demonstrations using the produce sold at the market. The first demo will feature locally grown kale.
Overall there are 16 spaces for market vendors, with the potential to expand inside the Klauber Building. So far, 11 are registered. Vendor spaces cost $5 per week, but if they sign a longterm agreement with the market committing to four weeks or more vendors may use the space for free, Quattlebaum said.
Were trying to encourage people to commit longterm, she said.
The hope is for vendor ratio to be 70 percent farmers and 30 percent artisans and craftspeople.
The vendors are really excited and we think its going to be a great market, Quattlebaum said. Were really hoping that St. George and the larger county come out to support it.

June 24, 1936 – Feb. 2, 2013
Ralph Hernandez, of Buffalo, who served as executive director of Friendship House in Lackawanna for 20 years, died Saturday in Sisters Hospital after a lengthy illness. He was 76.
Born in New York City, he came to Buffalo with his family at age 7 and was a graduate of East High School.
He then spent a few years in New York City, where he met his wife of 49 years, the former Dale Carter, and wrote songs, notably "Thumb Thumb," which was recorded by Frankie Lymon.
Returning to Buffalo, he earned a bachelor's degree from the University at Buffalo and a master's degree in social work from UB, while working in the financial aid department at the university.
He became executive director of Friendship House in 1977 and expanded it beyond its traditional base in Lackawanna's First Ward into one of the largest social service agencies in Erie County.
He established two other offices in Lackawanna and one in Buffalo.
In addition to its programs for foster care, substance abuse, youth, seniors and psychiatric patients, it took over Channel 58, a community cable television station in 1993, after Medaille College stopped operating it.
Mr. Hernandez left Friendship House and retired in 1997.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by a daughter, Crystal Acker, and a son, Ralph Jr.
Services will be at 11 a.m. Thursday in Thomas T. Edwards Funeral Home, 995 Genesee St.

Metinka Slater joined Storm Team in January 2006. Her love for weather started the minute she saw her first tornado as a young girl growing up in Guthrie Center, Iowa.
While obtaining her bachelor's degree in meteorology from Iowa State University, she quickly became one of John McLaughlin's favorite weather interns. You might remember Metinka from her work as a meteorologist at WOI from 1996 to 2002. Since then she has most recently been staying home with her young children.
When she's not forecasting the weather, Metinka can be found spending time with her husband, Brian, and their three children. Rounding out the Slater household are her cats Nimbus and Shasta and the newest addition -- a cat named Prince Charming. If she ever has a spare moment, she likes to catch up with her friends, squeeze in some scrapbooking, or do some shoe shopping.

Jesus and His Apostles: Teaching in Harmony
from R. Fowler White Aug 21, 2010 Category: Ligonier AcademyHave you ever gotten the impression that the teaching of the apostles is at odds with the teaching of Jesus? Sometimes it may seem that way, especially when we see Jesus emphasizing certain things that the apostles don't, and vice versa. Though we may be confident that, in the end, their teaching is harmonious, we do get special enjoyment when we see examples of doctrinal harmony between Jesus and His apostles. I had just such an experience recently as I was listening to Dr. Sproul preach on Matthew 23 and Jesus' lament over the spiritual state of Jerusalem. I couldn't help but be struck by the thought that Jesus' brief words in Matthew 23:37-39 anticipated the apostle Paul's fuller teaching about Israel in Romans 9-11. Keep Reading
The Problem of Pleasure (pt. 4)
from John Gerstner Aug 20, 2010 Category: ArticlesThis article continues Dr. Gerstner's look at The Problem of Pleasure. In this excerpt he seeks to show that pain and suffering in this world are a non-problem, despite the claims of philosophers, theologians and atheists. He does this under three headings: the fact of sin, sin requires punishment, and punishment requires pain. Follow his logic and you'll see how none of us should be surprised that there is pain in our world. Keep Reading

Through Western Eyes
from Keith Mathison Aug 19, 2010 Category: ArticlesAccording to estimates provided by Robert Letham, there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 180 million Eastern Orthodox believers in the world today. Until recently, Protestants in the West had little contact with the Eastern Church and, as a consequence, little knowledge about it. That is no longer the case. Immigration of people from the East into Western countries, continued urbanization, and internet communication have made this church much more visible to a larger number of people. Keep Reading
The Crown of Thorns Club
from Chris Donato Aug 18, 2010 Category: Tabletalk MagazineIn this article, Tabletalk's senior associate editor Chris Donato asks "When was the last time you went to a private social club?" He goes on to say, "If you think that kind of thing is for the elite members of our society alone, guess again. The Yellow Pages are filled with lists of social clubs in which anyone in the neighborhood can become a member. They meet mainly on Sunday mornings — but don't be foolish enough to wait for an invitation. Unfortunately, like most other clubs, this one is designed to keep certain people in and other people out. You will find in it a decidedly internalized and individualized faith, complete with its own set of man-made regulations. You will find in it a group of folks who act as if they are enjoying life to the fullest, no matter where they are or what they are doing. And what do they do? They do exactly what they wish to do. In this Sunday club, then, it comes as no surprise that God Is He Who Exists for Me." Read on to find how Chris calls each of us to live with the reality that we exist for God, not the other way around. Keep Reading

The First Number
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Aug 16, 2010 Category: Tabletalk MagazineNot too long after so many of us were swept up in the significance of Y2K, R.C. Sproul Jr. peers back at Y1K and looks for its lessons. "As the tenth century drew to its conclusion, too many Christians saw in that grand, round number what they thought was a glimpse into the private thoughts of God. The millennium bug bit us, and we caught the fever." He warns, though, that "Disappointments along these lines, then and now, can be peculiarly damaging, as theologies are twisted and Scriptures denied in order to explain how our math turned out wrong." He reflects on the significance of numbers, even saying that "Numbers, because of their abstract nature, may be that place where our thinking grows closest to God's. We hear in the harmony of music and we see in the dance of the heavenly spheres echoes and reflections of the beauty of not just creation but the Creator. In its place, this is right and proper. We should always marvel at His glory and power." Still, they can be dangerous and "we must always remember that His ways are not our ways, His thoughts not our thoughts. We must not, as Satan tempted us, see numbers as a tool for our own power and glory." Having warned of the allure of numbers and the danger they can bring us, he turns to the one number that matters most. Keep Reading

Villa Maria College awarded degrees to about 100 students Sunday during the school's 49th commencement ceremonies in the college auditorium.
Robert D. Gioia, president of John R. Oishei Foundation, was the keynote speaker. He also accepted the Founder's Medal on behalf of the foundation for outstanding advocacy of the Villa Maria mission and the community.
The Catholic college specializes in applied arts and music but recently expanded its programs to include business administration and photography and graphic design, among other offerings.
Also Sunday, about 950 Genesee Community College students received degrees during the school's 45th commencement ceremonies in the Anthony T. Zambito Gymnasium.
State Sen. Catharine Young, R-Olean, gave the keynote address before the college recognized students who completed or will complete programs last August as well as in January, May and August of this year. Graduates included 54-year-old Aggie Robinson of Batavia, who returned to school to earn a degree in human services after postponing her education to raise a family.
The GCC ceremonies were streamed live to monitors across the campus, including in the cafeteria and student union.

So when Jimmy Fallon tried on one of her wigs, we were expecting more. He does look rather fetching, though.
Parton revealed to Fallon that she has 365 wigs, one for each day of the year. She's currently making the rounds promoting her 42nd (!) album, Blue Smoke, and the 68-year-old icon is as charming as ever.
"You are so cute," Fallon interjects at one point, stammering, "I can't even tell you, everyone here just wants to hug and kiss you."
Parton bantered good-naturedly with Fallon throughout, though after he donned her wig, she did tell him, "Don't you think you look a little more like Paula Deen or Gary Busey?"

Proposal/Grant Submissions
The Principal Investigator (PI)
The individual responsible for conceiving and enacting a project is known as the principal investigator. When this individual takes on the task of preparing a proposal for submission to an outside source, he or she agrees to manage the ensuing grant or contract in compliance with the terms, conditions, and policies of both the sponsor and the University.
Only one principal investigator should be named to delineate clear lines of responsibility for project management. In some instances, a colleague central to the project may be named co-principal investigator or be given another appropriate title.
University Affiliation for Institutional Awards
The principal investigator must be a member of the fulltime faculty, professional, or senior staff, or be an administrative officer of the University. Depending on the nature of the proposal, individuals with other University appointments may serve as principal investigators. Naming an individual in the proposal who is not an employee of the University does not commit the institution to employing that individual.
Unless otherwise indicated in the proposal, principal investigators are expected to be in residence at the University during the period of project operation. Principal investigators seeking a leave of absence during this period must obtain written authorization from the sponsor through the Office of Sponsored Programs.

This morning Gray sheepishly informed me that he knows that I go into his room and kiss him on the forehead when he's sleeping at night. I said, oh, I thought you were sleeping? And he said, I am, but I can feel your kiss.
Moments later he embarrassed the heck out of me at Target when he hugged the loaves on the Wonder Bread display and yelled SEAGULL BREAD! CAN WE GET SOME SEAGULL BREAD TO FEED THE BIRDS AND DUCKS AND GEESE?
In our house white bread isn't for people, it's [literally] for the birds. He doesn't know any different. Still, he could have been a bit more quiet about it. At least he didn't shout anything about MOMMY'S JUICE.

Why does competition matter in regulated sectors?
Competition is about increasing choice and efficiency to benefit consumers and make the economy more productive. This also applies to sectors which in many countries have been liberalised (such as electricity, water, railways and telecoms), which are subject to regulation (banking and other financial services) or where the government plays an important role (healthcare, education and local public services).
These sectors can raise complex policy challenges, for example:

The OECD competition work in regulated sectors
The Competition Committee's work in this area focuses on improving economic regulation and proposing the appropriate policies for competition to deliver more benefits for consumers and growth. The Best Practice Roundtables identify key issues in each sector and present the latest developments to address those problems. Many roundtable reports are also a valuable resource for advocating policy reform in a sector, for example by surveying regulations and policies in different countries. They also cover cross-cutting thematic issues, such as the role of behavioural economics in competition policy and price volatility in the case of commodities.
In addition, the OECD on occasion works with member countries to promote reform and foster its competitiveness, most recently in Mexico. Sectoral reports cover the pharmaceutical industry, banking, transportation and telecommunications.

|Santa Rosa man dies in crash on Stony Point Road
A Santa Rosa man died from injuries suffered in a solo car accident Friday morning on Stony Point Road outside Cotati.
The victim, 37-year-old Tyshawn Wilbert, was heading southbound on Stony Point when he lost control of his Volkswagen Passat south of Gravenstein Highway. According to the California Highway Patrol, Wilbert had been passing southbound traffic on the shoulder when he veered up an embankment and overturned. His vehicle rolled several times until he was ejected and landed approximately 210 feet from the point at the top of the embankment where investigators believed he was first thrown from the vehicle.
Wilbert was a civilian worker at the USCG Tracen base in Petaluma.
Moments later, he was pronounced dead. The accident forced closure of Stony Point Road between Madrone Avenue and West Sierra, and the CHP diverted traffic onto Madrone and West Sierra as alternate routes.

State police are calling on the community to help crack a case that's remained cold since Nov. 12, 2009.
That's the day when 39-year-old Pam Judy's burned body was discovered in her black Chevrolet Colorado truck at Little Black Fork in the Monongahela National Forest.
More than three-and-a-half years later, the death of Judy - an Elkins resident who co-owned the court reporting business Cole and Judy Reporting - remains a mystery.

But police say it may not stay that way forever.
The investigating officer in the case, Cpl. K.A. Corley with the Elkins detachment of the West Virginia State Police, is working on following what he's described as "fresh leads." He says those leads have surfaced as a result of citizens calling the detachment in response to a November Inter-Mountain article on the three-year anniversary of Judy's death.
"We've had numerous calls in response to that article that have helped with our investigation," Corley told The Inter-Mountain Wednesday. "We have other leads that we hadn't had knowledge of before - fresh leads, I guess you could say.
"We encourage the community to continue to contact us with any information they may have regarding this case," Corley added.
So what do police know about the day Judy died?
She reportedly logged off her home computer at 10:48 a.m., climbed in her black Chevy Colorado truck and left her home, which was located along Mountainview Drive in the Lower Oak Grove addition of Elkins. She was spotted in her truck at Parrack's Nationwide Insurance on Harrison Avenue in Elkins at approximately 11:30 a.m.
However, between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. - when a hunter called the Randolph County E-911 Center to report a truck burning in a remote area of the Monongahela National Forest - virtually nothing is known about Judy's whereabouts.
Who she saw, where she went or what happened to her in that 90-minute time period are questions Corley hopes to answer with the help of the local community. The officer says the case hasn't been classified as a murder or a suicide.
"It's still undetermined, and the reason it's undetermined is because the (state) medical examiner's office has deemed the cause of death undetermined," Corley said. "In terms of knowing if it's a suicide or murder, I can't speculate.
"But we're working on this, and we encourage the community to contact us as much as they can," he said.
Anyone with any information is asked to call Corley at 304-637-0200.

America's Got Talent winner and Logan native Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr., will perform for a special Christmas benefit concert for the Pocahontas County Opera House on Thursday, Dec. 13, at 7:30 p.m.
Accompanied by his jazz combo, Murphy will transport the audience back to the days of the Rat Pack, filling the Opera House with the tunes of Frank Sinatra and the Great American Songbook.
Tickets for the benefit concert are $20 for adults and $10 for youth 10-17.
Article Photos
Modern Woodmen of America's Greenbrier County chapter has pledged to match the proceeds raised from the concert up to $2,500.
In November 2010, Murphy and his wife, Jennifer, left their hometown of Logan for New York City, where they stood for more than 12 hours outside the Jacob Javits Convention Center in Manhattan. They were among the thousands of people-young and old, singers, dancers, jugglers, mimes and more-lined up to audition for NBC's "America's Got Talent." It would take several more hours for Murphy to finally get inside and sing a few bars, and his day grew even longer as he sang for one producer after another. Soon, he was the last one sitting in a huge rehearsal hall.
"I knew that was a good sign," recalled Jennifer Murphy.
The rest, as they say, is history.
After receiving standing ovations from judges Sharon Osbourne, Piers Morgan and Howie Mandel, singing a sizzling duet with the iconic Patti LaBelle, and crooning a rousing rendition of "My Way," Murphy was named the winner of AGT's sixth season on Sept. 14, 2011.
Just in time for Christmas 2011, Syco/Columbia Records released Murphy's first album, "That's Life," which debuted at number one on the Billboard jazz charts and the top 40 overall. Not only did his unique singing style make him stand out from all of his competition, Murphy's humility, charm and confidence endeared him to the AGT judges, viewers and audiences at his sold-out concert tour that launched in December 2011 and is still going strong.
Many have compared Murphy's smooth vocals and phrasing to that of Frank Sinatra, a singer he has always admired. That's why many of the tracks from "That's Life" are Sinatra standards, but Murphy does them his way.
"I put my own voice and my own soul into this album," said Murphy. "For a lot of music fans, especially older people, I can bring back some happy memories. And hopefully I can create new memories for generations to come. I think my album encompasses all of that. I want to give back as much as possible and stay true to the people who supported me," he said.
Tickets are available online at pocahontasoperahouse.org and at the Fourth Avenue Gallery in Marlinton.
The Pocahontas County Opera House is located at 818 Third Avenue in Marlinton. Performances at the Opera House are informal, family-friendly and open to all. The entrance and main seating are accessible to persons with disabilities. Persons with disabilities are encouraged to attend; special accommodations can be arranged upon request by calling 304-799-6645.
This performance is presented with support from Pocahontas County Dramas, Fairs and Festivals, NRAO, Pendleton Community Bank, the Law Office of Roger D. Forman, Brightside Acres and the Old Clark Inn.

Post-translational modifications (PTM)—chemical transformations that occur after a protein's translation from RNA—include numerous changes, some well known and others quite obscure. Modifications based on the addition of molecules or functional groups are the most apparent and probably the most significant in terms of biological activity. These include acylation/deacylation, amidation, methylation, phosphorylation, sulfation, oxidation, and even PEGylation (the synthetic addition of polyethylene glycol residues).
The best-known PTM is glycosylation, the addition of sugar residues to amino acids bearing amino or hydroxyl groups. Sugar moieties can be short, a few hundred Daltons, or longer and more branched, up to several thousand Daltons.
Although sugars are ubiquitous in biological systems, analyzing and generally working with these essential building blocks is not everyone's cup of tea. Organic chemists learn to dread sugars for the dizzying diversity of individual residues, and particularly for their limitless combinatorial possibilities. Consequently, specialists in carbohydrate chemistry and analysis are in high demand.
Glycan analysis occurs after cleaving sugars with an endoglycosidase, which leaves a pool of carbohydrates of various sizes and compositions for offline analysis. Alternately, one can use trypsin to cleave peptide bonds and generate smaller peptides or individual amino acids, and analyze them with the sugars in place by LC/MS.
N-linked glycans also tend to follow rules of construction. It is possible to piece together their structures based on those rules and their fragmentation patterns in a mass spectrometer. Verne Reinhold at the University of New Hampshire pioneered these techniques and coined the term "glycome" to define the sugar makeup of an organism or family of proteins. In terms of complexity and combinatorial possibilities, the glycome is to the proteome in complexity what the proteome is to the genome—that is, up to an order of magnitude more complex.
Three-year-old Bluestream Laboratories specializes in analyzing biopharmaceuticals, including proteins and antibodies glycosylated at multiple sites. "Our customers want to know types and locations of glycans present in their molecules," says Mario DiPaola, Ph.D., CSO. The vast majority are N-glycosylations. "Predicting where these will occur is relatively straightforward. The question is whether the site is actually occupied by a glycan." Serine and threonine glycosylations, which occur on oxygen, are more difficult to predict.
Even within a well-defined biological product, one sees significant heterogeneity in the glycome of a protein drug, not only from glycosylation site to site, but among identical locations. "You can build a picture of the types of glycans you expect to see, or actually observe," says Dr. DiPaola, "but it is difficult to see a single answer. You often obtain a range of structures, some quite unusual." Glycan analysis takes anywhere from a few days for a well-characterized antibody, to several weeks for a new molecule or fusion protein. "Proteins have their own personalities and quirks."
Dr. DiPaola advises sponsors of new protein drugs to learn all they can about glycosylation as early in development as possible, since regulators will be interested in glycan type, degree, location, and degree of sialylation. Glycosylation often controls a molecule's activity, immunogenicity, and, in the case of sialic acid, its pharmacokinetics. Because a range of process conditions affect glycosylation, regulators look to patterns as an indicator of batch-to-batch consistency.
Numerous efforts have emerged to generate "humanized" biotherapeutics with glycosylation patterns similar to those found in native proteins. Monoclonal antibodies are a favorite target for this strategy, which reduces immunogenicity and may improve pharmacokinetics as well, but any glycosylated protein is fair game. Early in 2008, AlphaMed Pharmaceuticals introduced a humanized version of alpha 1-antitrypsin for treating emphysema and autoimmune diseases. AlphaMed produces the molecule in yeast and claims it is "virtually identical" to the human enzyme.
Glycosylation-related services are similarly significant toward the goal of humanized proteins. Glycart's GlycoMAB® technology overexpresses glycosyltransferase genes in antibody-producing cells, so that the proteins produced are 50 times more attractive to immune effector cells (natural killer cells and macrophages) that kill antibody targets such as cancer cells and infectious microbes. GlycArt also has five therapeutic antibodies in development for cancer and autoimmune diseases.
According to the company, GlycoMAB expands the "therapeutic window" for antibody drugs, can improve the success rate of mAb therapeutics, provides life-cycle management through second-generation products, and improves cost of goods.
Yves Durocher, Ph.D., of the Institute for Biotechnology Research (BRI) at the University of Montreal, investigates the effect of cellular expression system on (among many other things) protein glycosylation. Dr. Durocher, who uses both CHO and HEK cells to create transiently and stably expressing clones, recently reported on the O-glycosylation of interferon.
Native interferon has one glycosylation sites, but the hormone is normally manufactured in nonglycosylating E. coli. Non glycosylated interferon clears rapidly from the body, so it is often PEGylated to improve its pharmacokinetics.
Dr. Durocher believes that O-glycosylation of interferon in mammalian cells, while not as long-lasting as the PEGylated version, would be an improvement over bacterially-generated interferon.
HEK, the human cell line most widely used in biomanufacturing, naturally produces human-like glycosylation patterns. In July 2008, Selexis entered a partnership with NRC-BRI (National Research Council of Canada's Biological Research Institute) to offer a variant of HEK, NRC-BRI HEK293, as part of the company's rapid cell line development services. HEK cells are one of the very few FDA-approved human cell lines.
Eli Lilly's Xigrils®, a recombinant activated protein C sepsis drug, is manufactured using HEK293 cells. Lilly uses this platform because the drug requires full gamma carboxylation of glutamic acid residues, which HEK carries out but CHO cells do only with difficulty. Both cell types perform N-glycosylation.
The groundwork for large-scale HEK manufacturing was laid by Amine Kamen, Ph.D., at BRI. The program is expected to lead to rapid development of high-performing human cells as an option to CHO.

says in a press
release that it is prepared to fight back against Apple's
patent litigation in court. It has not yet filed an official
response or countersued, but that should follow within a few
weeks.Apple is currently suing
HTC to block the import of Android handsets into the U.S.
Apple claims that it invented a host of technologies including a
touch-screen finger-swipe unlock gestures, mobile object oriented
graphics, and undervolting a mobile CPU via an interrupt. These
somewhat vague
and far-reaching patents form the basis of Apple's claims.
Apple CEO Jobs released a statement casting his company as the
tireless innovator and his rivals as thieves.Peter Chou,
chief executive officer, HTC Corporation, says that HTC won't
tolerate Apple's bullying. He states, "HTC disagrees with
Apple's actions and will fully defend itself. HTC strongly advocates
intellectual property protection and will continue to respect other
innovators and their technologies as we have always done, but we will
continue to embrace competition through our own innovation as a
healthy way for consumers to get the best mobile experience
possible."The press release points out that HTC achieved
many industry firsts -- the first Windows PDA (1998), the first
Windows Phone (2002), the first gesture-based smart phone (June
2007), and the first Google Android smart phone (October 2008).
Along the way it piled up a fair amount of intellectual property,
which could give it ammo against Apple in court.Some are
speculating that Google, makers of the Android operating system, may
intervene and aid its handset developers legally to prevent
Apple trying to stomp out the growing Android movement at the
hardware level.The stakes are high. If Apple wins, it
could effectively take many of the top Android handsets off the U.S.
market, including the HTC Hero, MyTouch, Nexus One, and
the soon-to-be-released
Incredible. If HTC wins, on the other hand, it will likely
damage Apple's image and give the Android movement more
