Background: Elotuzumab (Elo) is a humanized anti-CS1monoclonal antibody that enhances natural killer cell mediated antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity of CS1 expressing myeloma cells. This study included a dose finding Ph I cohort (N=28) and a Ph II cohort (N=73). Here we update Ph II data and provide long term safety data from both cohorts.
Methods: Patients (pts) treated with ≥1 (Ph I) or 1–3 (Ph II) prior therapies received Elo + Len/dex as described previously (Lonial JCO 2012; Richardson ASH 2012) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or death. All pts received a premedication regimen including methylprednisolone, diphenhydramine or equivalent, ranitidine or equivalent, and acetaminophen to mitigate infusion reactions. Adverse events (AEs) in Ph I/II pts occurring ≤18 months (mo) (N=98) were compared to AEs with a >18 mo onset in a subgroup of pts treated >18 mo (n=49). This safety analysis excluded 3 Ph I pts treated with Elo 5 mg/kg.
Results: In the Ph II cohort (median 63 yr), objective response rate (ORR) was 84%; 92% with 10 mg/kg (n=36) and 76% with 20 mg/kg (n=37). At a median follow-up of 20.8 mo, median progression free survival (PFS) was not reached (10 mg/kg) and 18.6 mo (20 mg/kg). Most common treatment emergent grade ≥3 AEs were lymphopenia (19%), neutropenia (18%), thrombocytopenia (16%) and anemia (14%). Most common grade 3/4 AEs emerging ≤18 vs >18 mo in Ph I/II cohorts are shown (Table). 15 pts discontinued due to AEs; none after 18 mo of treatment. There were 4 second primary malignancies; none were reported after 18 mo.
Conclusions: Elo 10 mg/kg + Len/dex was generally well tolerated and resulted in a high ORR and encouraging PFS in pts with RR MM. AEs emergent after 18 mo of therapy were consistent with AEs during the initial 18 mo. Updated Ph II safety/efficacy data and long term safety data from Ph I/II cohorts will be presented.

Wednesday, May 7
8:00 a.m. – 12 noon
The morning of Wednesday, May 7 is dedicated entirely to the Technical Tour program. There are three tours, of which you may choose one. To participate, you must have a Full Registration and pre-register for one of the tours.
Miami Township Snow Fighting Facilities
This tour includes two stops at Miami Township's snow fighting facilities. You'll visit the township's 6,500-ton salt dome, brine-making and storage system, brine-additive storage (i.e. beet juice) and cost-effective on-demand blending station. The service garage tour will include winter fleet operations, maintenance garage and equipment yard. See how the township combines technology and the latest trends in the industry to provide residents with a highly-efficient winter operations program. The township's winter operations management staff will be on hand to answer questions, demonstrate their utilization of AVL technology to keep a close eye on progress during a winter event, and explain how residents can benefit from this real-time information.
CVG Airport Winter/Environmental Operations
This tour highlights the snow removal and environmental operations of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), which encompasses more than 7,500 acres and four runways comprised of approximately eight miles of concrete, and serves more than 6 million passengers annually. The airport never closes, and their number one priority is to maintain safe flight operations for passengers, airline partners and cargo customers in any type of weather event. Discover how their round-the-clock Field Maintenance team is able to keep the airfield and all roadways on the property open and maintained through the use of nine multifunction snow removal vehicles able to clean a runway in approximately 20 minutes and a scalable staff, capable of growing to more than 100 strong during the Snow Season from mid-October to March. This tour of CVG will highlight its snow removal and environmental operations.
Cincinnati Zoo
This tour highlights what sustainability means at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. From struggling to figure out how to recycle aluminum bottles to becoming the greenest zoo in America (with the greenest restaurant in America), the zoo's sustainability journey has been sincere, aggressive and unapologetic. See the various methods the Cincinnati Zoo has utilized to become so green including LEED certified buildings, the largest public accessible solar canopy in the country, underground water retention tanks, pervious pavers, pervious concrete and the Go Green Garden. Hear some intriguing, funny, and at times embarrassing examples of how the zoo turned it all around and learned that saving the world and saving money don't have to be mutually exclusive.

Recognizing that many individuals gain knowledge through self-study which may be equivalent to that attained through the completion of formal college courses, Washburn University has adopted a comprehensive program whereby college credit may be granted through means other than enrollment in and the successful completion of prescribed college courses.
The University may grant credit through national/international examinations and university departmental examinations. The national/international examinations are the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB), Advanced Placement Examinations, the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program, the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (Dantes) program, and the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). The University Departmental Examinations are administered on campus by individual academic departments.
Students must be either currently enrolled at Washburn University or former students of Washburn University in order to have credit awarded and posted to their transcripts. Test scores must be submitted directly from national testing companies in order to be considered for credit. Specific information about the different types of examinations is provided below.
This program is designed for high school seniors planning to enter college and is administered in conjunction with Advanced Placement courses taught in the high schools. The scores are reported to the University by CEEB. Appropriate credit or advanced placement is awarded at the time of enrollment in the University. When credit is awarded it may be applied to meet degree requirements. When advanced placement is awarded, a student is advanced to a higher level college course without being required to take a lower level prerequisite. Depending on departmental policy and the examination scores which are achieved, an academic department may award either credit or advanced placement or both to a student. No entry is made on the college transcript for scores which are lower than those determined to be satisfactory by the Washburn academic departments.
Students may have Advanced Placement test scores obtained in high school reported to the University for evaluation. Credit and/or advanced placement are awarded to students who have received a score of three (3), four (4), or five (5). Currently a student may be awarded college credit hours in the subjects listed.
Washburn University recognizes the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program. Students should seek information and obtain registration materials through appropriate high school counselors or other secondary school officials. This program is designed for high school juniors and seniors planning to enter college and is administered in conjunction with International Baccalaureate courses taught in high schools.
At the time of enrollment in the University, official transcripts should be forwarded to the University Registrar in order to receive appropriate credit. Credit is awarded on a course-by-course basis by academic departments depending on departmental policy and the examination scores which are achieved. No entry is made on the college transcript for scores which are lower than those determined to be satisfactory by the Washburn academic departments.
DSST exams, formerly known as the DANTES program, are subject standardized tests that give students the opportunity to receive college credit for learning acquired outside of the traditional college classroom. The DSST program offers 36 exams to choose from. Washburn University awards credit for the following DSST exams listed.
DSST exams are offered to all students. If you are a DANTES-funded military service member or eligible spouse, you are not required to pay the testing fee. For more information about DSST testing and/or to register for an exam at Washburn University please visit www.washburn.edu/testing
Washburn University allows you to test out of courses in which you already have academic knowledge comparable to that gained in collegiate study. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) examinations measure knowledge of the material usually covered in courses during the first two years of college. Students are only eligible to complete CLEP examinations before they have attempted or completed any college course in that discipline from a regionally accredited postsecondary institution. (A course that appears on a college transcript or a course in progress is considered an attempted course.) CLEP examinations may be attempted only once for credit at Washburn University. Either credit or a letter grade of "A", "B" or "C" will be assigned based upon the departmental CLEP evaluation. For courses evaluated as a letter grade, students who would prefer to receive credit only must obtain departmental approval. If the letter grade is awarded, it will become part of the Washburn University GPA. This credit is considered transfer credit and may be treated as a prerequisite for subsequent courses. There is no record made on the academic transcript for those students who are not awarded credit. Each school or department within the university has different curriculum requirements and may use the scores in different ways. CLEP exam credit listed on transcripts from other universities is not automatically awarded credit. Scores must be officially sent to Washburn University. The CLEP scores listed are for exams taken through computer-based testing (CBT) only.
When a student identifies a course which he or she feels qualified to "challenge" or "quiz out of," the student should contact the chair of the department offering that course to determine whether a departmental examination could be accepted. If the academic department gives approval for the student to quiz out of a specific course, the student obtains a Credit by Examination registration form in the University Registrar's Office. The University Registrar's Office determines that the student is either currently enrolled or a former student who is not currently enrolled in the challenged class and is free of all holds. The student completes the credit by examination registration form and obtains signatures as required on the form. The student must finalizae the process by taking the completed form to the Business Office where he or she pays the fee for challenging a course by examination. The fee for each credit hour is one-third of the current resident per-credit-hour tuition rounded to the nearest dollar. After payment is made, the student returns a copy of the form to the University Registrar's Office. The student takes his/her copy which has been marked "paid" to the department at the scheduled time of the examination. Under no circumstances will the examination be administered prior to payment. No refunds will be given for exams not taken or not passed.
After the student has taken the exam, the department evaluates it and determines whether or not the student receives credit. If the department determines that credit is to be awarded, credit for the course is posted to the transcript. If the department determines based on the exam that credit should not be awarded, no entry is made to the transcript. If the course is taken to fulfill requirements in a major, a letter grade for the course may be determined by the department and posted on the transcript. The exam may not be repeated; a student may not take a departmental exam for any course more than once. Credit by departmental examination may not be used to repeat courses previously taken by the student. Credit given by departmental examination is considered residential credit.

North Sister Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
Date Climbed: Sep 10, 2016
|After originally reaching the Bowling Alley in the Spring of 2007, only to have my partner take a fall on some peeling verglass and a subsequent retreat, we finally crossed this mountain off the 'Shit list'. Took a couple of tries on different routes to overcome conditions and AMS issues. We found the glacier to be quite healthy this year from the West, lacking appropriate gear we retreated and opted to dayhike from the East. Went up the SE Ridge, down the Hayden Glacier trail. To quote a climber we met on our summit day "I've now got a great deal of beta for a mountain I'll never climb again." Rewarding, glad to have it off my list!

|Wacko Ladie's Route
Date Climbed: Aug 23, 2014
|It was our second time to climb the mountain. Last year was a late start in late September. This time ,we left around 6 am from Arrowhead lake. Snow was about halfway up the scree slope so we climbed up this way. After getting up above this point, I gassed out and the other 3 continued up the mountain. We could see another group of 7 above us.
The Terrible Traverse still had a pretty decent patch of snow that was rock hard and icy, the group of 7 decided to quit here.
Just before here the other guy in our group of 4 decided it was far enough for him that day.
The Wacko Ladies decided that they were going to summit this time around. After climbing the upper edge of the 50 degree snow bank and using a half rope to get back on the trail. Continuing on around the mountain they missed the Bowling Alley, making it a 5.8 to 5.9 climb to the Summit. Very limited protection but others had been up this way before having left some gear.
Coming down from the summit required 3 pitches with the short rope. All in all a pretty good day with a little adventure thrown in.

|North Ridge
Date Climbed: Aug 24, 2013
|Came up the ridge that starts at the southern base of Collier Cone. Fun route, long climb day with a predawn start and post sunset return to the car. We were the only group on the mountain this fine summer day. We avoided the terrible traverse, but had some route finding to do underneath the glisan pinnacle that included some 4th class scrambling and a ledge traverse with an icy/muddy finish to access the bowling alley.
|Posted Aug 25, 2013 1:57 pm
|not in summer
Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2012
|What the other guy said... a giant pile of poop. I enjoy scrambling but this was annoying. We tried to go right side of the ridge, my buddy having misread the route info. Decided to turn back after one look at that side of the mountain and the steep snow field we'd have to cross in 85 degree heat. I won't go back until its covered with snow and frozen solid.

|Never again
Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2012
|This is one big pile of stuff! Reading all the stuff on it we brought an extra 50 pounds of rock gear just to be safe. Turns out there was snow and ice on the traverse. Our rock gear did very little without any pickets and screws. We had axes and crampons so we lead out a good 50 meter line. (obviously only to retrieve a dead body after a swing of 50m) Once through the travers we thought we'd use all that pro we brought. Nope. The bowling alley and above was a cinch. Even if we wanted to use pro, the rock up there is GARBAGE. We did rap down bowling alley. Than back at the travers, instead of being stupid twice we down climbed under the drift, crossed over and up the other side to the start. Much safer. All and all, if there wasn't a drift right in the travers this mountain would not need any gear. However be ready for loose stuff everywhere.

|Southeast Ridge
Date Climbed: Aug 2, 2011
|Started at Pole Ck TH at 4:45 am, left the trail after Soap Ck and hiked easily cross-country to the Southwest Ridge. Terrible Traverse was steep snow, Bowling Alley was solid scrambling with almost no rockfall. Summitted after somewhat less than 5 hrs and with lots of wind. Went on to climb Middle and South Sister in a 12hr 40min Sisters Marathon.
|Posted Aug 3, 2011 8:47 pm
|The Marathon - Part B
Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2010
|We ran out of time and conditions earlier in the year just 200 feet from the summit, but this time I did it on my solo Marathon trip. There's no secret why they call this the "Ugly" Sister. I could tell you about the many false chutes, the horribly rotten rock,the "Terrible" traverse, the 70 degree ice face over a 2,500 foot garbage chute, or the crushed fingers I sustained, but the bottom line is I did three sisters all by myself in just two days, and I did one of the twice. What more can a I say, other than a rope to rap down would have been really nice.
|Posted Dec 25, 2010 6:34 am
|South Ridge
Date Climbed: Aug 23, 2010
|This is a pretty straight forward climb (surprisingly). Around the first couple gendarmes on the left, around one on the right and then the traverse. It was rock and debris for the first 1/2 of the traverse and then very hard snow for the second half. Used a rope and 2 pickets (crampons and ice ax also) for that portion. The bowling alley wasn't obvious at first. You can look up the bowling alley and see the rappel slings on the upper right, if you don't see those, you're not in the alley. Didn't use a rope on the way up, it was pretty easy. Rappelled down since we packed the rope, but I down climbing would have been do-able. Camped in the saddle Southwest of Collier Glacier, did Middle Sister later that morning and went back to the vehicle at Obsidian trailhead.
|Posted Aug 24, 2010 5:54 pm
|NE Arete
Date Climbed: Jul 10, 2010
|Approach from Pole Creek to Soap Creek meadows. Our original plan was to climb the east face (left edge of Villard Glacier) route. Due to concerns about rock fall we went up the slopes along the NE Arete.
We climbed to the saddle between Glisan and Prouty. Unfortunately time was running late so we tagged the top of Glisan and went out the way we came. Nice glissading on lower slopes.

|Ridge N of Bowling Alley
Date Climbed: Jul 10, 1990
|Walked past (heading north) the Bowling Alley chute and then turned up some divet and climbed some arete-like volcanic choss and summitted. Rappleyea was so freaked at the summit he refused to stand up. Sure felt like an idiot going down the bowling alley cuz we sure did get off route.

|Climbed this and Middle Sis as part of a 3 Sisters marathon attempt, ended up bailing off S. Sis and doing a very very long circumnavigation around S. Sis in the dark. Went up the North (Ugly) Sister a 2nd time, from Pole Creek.

|Black Beast Of The Cascades
|Did this climb with some new friends and some Obsidian members, good size group, but made good time. I chose to climb the summit rocks unroped, though some chose to use a fixed line. Really enjoyable day, the couple that went on the climb ended up engaged before we returned to camp.

Date Climbed: Jun 21, 2009
|as of this morning conditions up high were not real great. an inch or two of snow over mud. We went to high on the ridge instead of cutting over to the traverse, so we ended up doing a bunch of sketchy crazy scrambling. Great times, but the mountain is not in real good shape right now

|Turns out we were to low! Couldn't believe it either. James and I along with another friend finally climbed it early Aug.

Date Climbed: Sep 13, 2008
|Once we got up on the SE ridge we were able to follow a climbers trail fairly well. After joining the S ridge the going was fine. We stayed L of the 1st gendarme, followed a trail R of the 2nd, and passed L of the next. It didn't get too interesting until the dinner-plate loose shale. We started to get too high, and did better a little lower. The bowling alley was trickier than I remembered, and my daughter required a belay up the lower portion of it. Then the last bit up to between the horns didn't go nearly as high as I remembered, and I got stimied on the pitch back to the left and up- huge exposure and definitely not 4th class. About this point I realized that inspite of being warned, there being footprints of others going that way, there being a couple belay stations, and having been up this once before, I had gotten us into the false bowling alley. All-in-all this wasted almost an hour. We back tracked down then up the true bowling alley and to the top. The weather was great. There was practically no snow. Bottom line- if it seems too hard, you're likely in the wrong place.
The 1st time up this I took 2 days. This time with 2 very fit people, traveling very light, jogging when we could we took a little over 5 hrs- 11:15am to 4:45pm. We bagged Middle, then descended the glacier. Even with the warm weather, the bottem end of that was steep and hard engough that I wished I hadn't left the ice axes in the car.

On their latest On the Run Tour stop, which touched down in Los Angeles for the weekend, the couple impressed a star-studded audience that included Natalie Portman, Nicole Richie and Lea Michele.
And Sunday's show ended on the ultimate high note: When Jay, 44, and Bey, 32, finished performing the final song of the night, "Forever Young," the co-headliners shared a kiss on the lips and held each other for a show-stopping moment.
Their finale featured a sweet peek into their lives as family footage rolled, including shots of 2½-year-old daughter Blue Ivy.
The couple then walked off arm-in-arm to the main stage.
"Last but not least, give it up for Mr. Carter," Beyoncé told the audience, closing out the show. Followed Jay Z, "No. Last but not least, give it up for Mrs. Carter." Their fond sentiments were followed by an arm-in-arm exit.
This warm display is just the latest way they've combatted the rumors of marital trouble that began even before their tour kicked off in June.
In fact, there was no shortage of emotion at Sunday's show, either. As she powered through her relationship ballad, "Resentment," Beyoncé's eyes began to water.
The couple performed a handful of songs together, including "Drunk in Love." At the end of their steamy duet, a grinning Jay Z held Beyoncé from behind.

- Full Description
Python Algorithms explains the Python approach to algorithm analysis and design. Written by Magnus Lie Hetland, author of Beginning Python, this book is sharply focused on classical algorithms, but it also gives a solid understanding of fundamental algorithmic problem-solving techniques.
- The book deals with some of the most important and challenging areas of programming and computer science, but in a highly pedagogic and readable manner.
- The book covers both algorithmic theory and programming practice, demonstrating how theory is reflected in real Python programs.
- Well-known algorithms and data structures that are built into the Python language are explained, and the user is shown how to implement and evaluate others himself.
What youll learn
- Transform new problems to well-known algorithmic problems with efficient solutions, or show that the problems belong to classes of problems thought not to be efficiently solvable.
- Analyze algorithms and Python programs both using mathematical tools and basic experiments and benchmarks.
- Prove correctness, optimality, or bounds on approximation error for Python programs and their underlying algorithms.
- Understand several classical algorithms and data structures in depth, and be able to implement these efficiently in Python.
- Design and implement new algorithms for new problems, using time-tested design principles and techniques.
- Speed up implementations, using a plethora of tools for high-performance computing in Python.
Who this book is for
The book is intended for Python programmers who need to learn about algorithmic problem-solving, or who need a refresher. Students of computer science, or similar programming-related topics, such as bioinformatics, may also find the book to be quite useful.

If you think that you've found an error in this book, please let us know by emailing to email@example.com . You will find any confirmed erratum below, so you can check if your concern has already been addressed.On page 19:Your code sample has a formatting error with the else statement:
def sort_w_check(seq):
n = len(seq)
for i in range(n-1):
if seq[i] > seq[i+1]:
On page 53:
"Subsets, Permutations, and Combinations"
The formula for sum of binomial coefficient is wrong.
it should be k=0 to n SUM (n choose k) = 2 ** n
in the book we have:
k=0 to n SUM (n choose k) = 2 ** k
On page 55 (location 887 in e-book):There is a typo in the formula that sums combinations. It says 2^k, but it should be 2^n
On page 61:The text at the end of the solution to recurrence 6 says "That means the sum is equal to the number of nodes, which is \Theta(n)."
But this seems incorrect. The sum should be equal to (2n-1), since it counts the leaf level of the tree (n) as well as the nodes in the tree (n-1), which add up to (2n-1). Of course this is still \Theta(n), but it is not equal to the number of nodes as the book says.
On page 88:
The native algorithm for Topological sorting doesn't work for the following input
Essentially the problem is (i believe), while finding the right place of the nth node in a topologically sorted list of n-1 nodes, it checks after which all nodes in the sorted list the nth node should go.
But if it happens that the nth node is not in the adjacency list of any of the n-1 nodes, but it is in the adjacency of say, (n+m)th node, and this (n+m)th node is in the adjacency list of one of these n-1 nodes, the nth node will go at the start of the list, which is not its right place.
On page 142:Code for greatest slice is given as
best = A[0]
for size in range(1,n+1):
cur = sum(A[:size])
for i in range(n-size):
cur += A[i+size] -= A[i] #Problem
best = max(best, cur)
There the statement with Problem should be
cur += A[i+size] - A[i]

What a fantastic experience these Olympics have been. Congratulations to all the athletes. It is such an amazing accomplishment to get to be in Sochi, and represent your country.
Russia is a really beautiful country. The day before I left Sochi, I took a two-hour train to the mountains, an area called Krasnaya Polyana where they were holding the ski and alpine events. It was gorgeous. There were restaurants with patios that had spectacular mountain views and cute little stores to shop in.
The men's hockey team played that night against Finland for the bronze medal and lost. We were a strong team, every single player was hard working and amazing. I know they were all very proud to represent our country so it was extremely disappointing not to medal in the tournament.
Our team flight was not scheduled to leave until the next night following the closing ceremonies, so we had a full day to burn. A group of us went to the Black Sea and a few guys jumped into the freezing water.
Afterwards, we went to lunch at a restaurant called La Luna where we cheered the US bobsled team on TV and there were some Russians eating who were cheering for their team. It was a nice experience to interact with the local people in an authentic setting.
One of the parts of Sochi that has really affected me during my stay is the presence of the many stray dogs in the city. I'm not sure what was going on, but the first night when we arrived in Sochi, we heard a bone chilling cry of hundreds of dogs throughout the night.
Since that time, I have had many run-ins with the puppies and dogs of Sochi. They were really sweet and broke my heart. One dog in particular was so gentle, she stationed herself in front of Olympic Park for three days and nights straight.
Every time our bus would pull up in the morning, she was there, and she would still be there when we were leaving at night. Some of the wives and I tried to feed her but she wouldn't eat. It was one of the saddest things I've seen, it seemed like she just wanted to be around people.
I realized that one of the greatest things about being an American is that we resources available that allow us the privilege to care for other people and animals. The Backes family was able to take home two dogs with them, adorable little guys they named Sochi Jack and Sochi Junior.
The dogs will go under the care of their family foundation, "Athletes for Animals" in St. Louis. After a period of quarantine, Sochi Jr. and Sochi Jack will be available for adoption.
Now I'm back in LA ready to get to work on new episodes of Anger Management. I'm so appreciative of this experience and incredibly proud of Ryan and the US men's hockey team. Thank you so much for reading my blog and following my journey!

I'm not new to Ubuntu, but my last HP laptop just kind of worked out of the box when I put Ubuntu on it.
I recently bought the Zenbook, and while I love the size, look, feel, everything, I've just spent about 12 hours actually getting ubuntu loaded.
If anyone wants a breakdown of how to get ubuntu on the machine as a sole boot, using the SSD as the "/" folder, and the HDD as the "/home" I can write that up tomorrow.
For now, I was wondering if someone can help me with trouble shooting my graphics problem.
To get past a black screen on boot, I was forced to add "nomodeset" into one of grubs line as suggested elsewhere in this forum. Unfortunately I think what that has done is force me to use some fairly basic drivers, and I can therefore not get Ubuntu to run in 3d mode, it's forced into 2D.
I'm not sure what information everyone needs, so please just ask and I'll post it up as soon as I can.

Charities should offer evening pickup for items
I have a general complaint against some of Buffalo's local charities. I have some furniture to donate, none of which can be left outside in inclement weather. I have called three agencies. Not one has evening hours for a pickup at a residence. I'm supposed to miss work in order to meet their schedules.
I do not see the logic in having all of the pickup hours during the day when the odds are no one is at home. They should have some night hours; maybe have a couple of days of 12-7 instead of 9-4. When I mentioned this to them, they all became indignant, telling me what their policy is. So some family that could use some older furniture will now miss out as I drag my old stuff to the curb.

One of the big calendar events for Primary kids is the National Pop tournament, where Primary (elementary) Schools from all over the nation (including Scotland and Wales)enter local and regional competitions in order to qualify for the National Final.
For the staff it's a long day, usually early start, set up and take down, plus refereeing what is the most frantic paced game of Lacrosse you'll ever see.
The game is played with the molded plastic stick and a soft ball is used. Teams are 5 a side (must have boys and girls) and the ball can only be carried for 4 seconds. No keepers and small 3 by 3 goals makes it high scoring and exciting.
This year was the 20th National Pop final and the winners were Hale Preparatory School from Cheshire.
On another note the New Zealand girls took on Scotland and lost 18 to nil, then the Scots took on Australia and lost 22 to nil.
Let's hope the teams were experimental (unless your Australian of course, in which case watch out the worlds in Prague).

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - OK now we have had our first snow event and everyone knows about chains and winter driving so bring on the rest of the winter!
It definitely ended golf season but remember you can still get your season pass to Diamond Peak on sale until the end of Oct. Plan now to enjoy your lunch breaks out on the mountain.
Tonight is the annual Trail of Treats and Terror so please drive carefully as children will be out in costumes. The event starts at 4:30 p.m. and is at the Donald W. Reynolds Community Non-Profit Center, the IVGID Recreation Center, Lake Tahoe School and Sierra Nevada College.
Because Friday is Nevada Day, many local offices, including IVGID and the Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation will be closed.
The annual parade is on Saturday down in Carson City, and the theme is Honoring our Military.
For adults looking for Halloween fun, the annual Creeper's Ball with Tainted Love at the Crystal Bay Club is Saturday. Not sure if any tickets are still available but it is a great party.

Now that snow is covering the ground and outdoor activities are not so much fun, head into the Rec. Center. They have great staff to help you with exercise or group events. Check it out online at inclinerecreation.com or stop over and see all that is happening. I know they always offer winter conditioning classes so hurry in for that one.

Bipping is perfectly exampled in the above section, but there are many examples of the word bipping, as a self bipping may often occour. For instance when you accidently bip yourself and someone will most deffinatly say, "OR YOU JUST BIPPED YOURSELF THERE"
For example Ghostly (ONE OF THE CREATORS OF THIS CULT PHENOMEONON) often bips himself when he looks in the mirror! hehehehe

This word can mean a lot of things. One definition for bipped is when you're sold fake or bad drugs. If you're a crackhead, and you pay ten dollars for a rock, but it turns out to be walnut meat cut up to look like crack, then you got bipped.
"Say, homey, did you get our crack?"
"Yeah, but when I put it in the pipe, it just burned up. I think we got bipped."

After an afternoon of emotional testimony, a judge dismissed the case, leaving the singer with primary custody of the children.
During the hours-long hearing, both Foster and Usher – along with his aunt, Rena Oden – took the stand to discuss the children and each Foster and Usher's parenting.
As expected, their versions of the saga differed: Foster claimed Usher is unresponsive to her, leaves their sons in the care of unfit supervision and is an absentee father. The singer said her claims are false, that the children are well taken care of and that he has not barred her from their lives.
After the case was dismissed, the singer hugged Foster and whispered "I'm sorry" several times in her ear before turning his attention to his aunt, who he kissed and hugged in celebration of the verdict.
Foster requested the emergency hearing on Tuesday following the near-drowning of their eldest son at the singer's home. Cinco, as the child is known, remains in recovery at a local hospital and is expected to be released on Sunday, according to the singer's lawyer.
"My favorite 5-year-old. What a blessing!" Foster tweeted on Thursday, along with a photo of herself cradling the little boy. "I have always loved and appreciated my sons but tragedies and close calls make this even more evident."
Splash News Online
"I would like to thank my Aunt Rena as well as the doctors and nurses who are working with us around the clock. I would especially like to thank the two men who saved my son's life, Eugene Stachurski and Ben Crews," the singer said in a statement on Wednesday. "They are true heroes and I am deeply grateful to them."
"I am blessed and fortunate to say that my son Usher V is doing well and is recovering," the statement read. "I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of prayers, love and support for my family's well-being."

Hundreds gathered Friday afternoon for a Boys and Men of Color summit at the University of Pacific.
The goal of the summit was to develop community solutions on reducing disparities among disadvantaged communities.
Students, teachers, advocates, church leaders and community leaders all took part.
"Ninety-two percent of homicides in the past 28 years have been boys and men of color," said Stockton Councilman Michael Tubbs. "To reinvent Stockton, we have to examine policy, changes and interventions that will improve outcomes for the group and thereby the entire community."

On Genocide
Anthony D'Amato
Northwestern University - Pritzker School of Law
October 15, 2010
Naval War College International Law Studies (Blue Book), Vol. 75, pp. 119-130, 2010
Northwestern Public Law Research Paper No. 10-62
The crime of genocide is the newest international crime. It must be kept as a separate, distinct, and coherent concept. It is the first truly subjective crime; all other crime, though requiring mens rea, require only that the defendant consciously committed the criminal acts. In the case of genocide, however, the underlying criminal acts are no different from the acts required to prove ordinary crimes. The difference is one of motive. What is being punished by the crime of genocide is the selection of victims according to their involuntary membership in four kinds of groups: national, ethnic, racial, or religious. The distinctiveness of this new crime turns on how seriously prosecutors, defense counsel, and judges in future cases take and examine evidence of a defendant's motives.

Prince George's Room Will Be African-Themed
The newborn son of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, both 31, will have an African-themed bedroom, William tells CNN.
"I'll have toy elephants and rhinos around the room," the new dad says on the one-hour special, Prince William's Passion: New Father, New Hope, airing Sept. 15. "We'll cover it in, you know, lots of bushes and things like that. [We'll] make him grow up as if he's in the bush."
With the decorating plans moving full speed ahead, Kate has been doing things on her own.
As she awaited the birth of Prince George, she concentrated on getting things ready for the family's new home, apartment #1a at Kensington Palace – leaning on the advice of Anne Allen, of the London company Impey and Allen, says a source, adding that Allen is also a friend who is doing what she can to help.
Allen was seen shopping with the then-pregnant Kate when they browsed several antique stores, as well as Bernard Thorp in London's Chelsea, where they apparently found fabrics.
"[Kate] was very clear on the ambience she wanted to create," Greg Kinsella, creative director of Bernard Thorp, told PEOPLE, noting, too, that she had a "wide canvas of interest."
The pair also stopped for an hour-long consultation at Bennison Fabrics, a company known for its hand-printed fabrics based on the designs of original 18th and 19th century English textiles. A staffer told PEOPLE that the princess "was there privately with her decorator choosing things for her new home".
At the Nu-Line showroom in Ladbroke Grove in late June, Kate was once again chaperoned by Allen to look at bathrooms.
"She knew what she was looking for," a staffer told PEOPLE. "[The two] browsed together, but Kate made a beeline for things she had obviously researched and was pleased to see that we stock."
Allen declined to comment on helping with Kensington Palace decorations.

ARLINGTON, VA (WUSA) --- Annie Hawkins-Turner, 54, is internationally known but not for any particular talent.
She is famous for having the world's largest natural breast, with a bra size of 102ZZZ. No, that's not a typo, she is a triple Z.
Annie, currently holds the Guinness World Record for the largest natural breasts in the world, weighing in at 89.6 pounds.
"[My breasts have taken me] all over the world, Japan, London, Germany, Amsterdam," Annie says.
The Georgia native has held this title since 1999 and has been featured in various magazine spreads, talk shows and most recently on an episode of Strange Sex on TLC.
But not all has been glitz and glamour.
Annie suffers from a condition known as gigantomastia, a rare disease of the breast connective tissue that causes excessive growth. Here breasts are now heavier than the average 11-year-old child.
"I have never in my life got up and had a normal day like everybody else," she says.
At 9-years of age Annie wore her first bra.
"[My mother] took me to a store in Atlanta and they fitted me for a bra. I hated those bras because they stuck out like football cones. I had these cones sticking out in front of me and I was nine when I just wanted to play."
And her breasts are still growing. Three years ago, Annie's bra tailor passed and she hasn't been able to wear a bra since.
"Now I'm just stuffing myself in two bras and pinning them together. I'm just dying for someone to contact me that can make me a bra. I had people say they can design it but they don't have the type of material that can hold me. "
When Annie did have bras custom tailored it ran her $374.00 apiece.
Having breasts this size also comes with some health complications. She can't stand for long periods of time or her shoulders will start feeling numb. She needs to be careful when walking down steps or getting out of bed to make sure she doesn't hurt herself.
When asked if she would consider a breast reduction her immediate answer was "no."
"They are not bothering me in a way were I feel I need to get them reduced and I don't think I need to get reduced so I can be accepted by society," she says.
Instead, Annie decided to turn her breasts into money-making machines. For nearly 20 years, she has operated her own production company and directed 250 soft-porn videos, which means no sexual intercourse, and appeared in 70. She is known in the industry as Norma Stitz and describes herself as a "fantasy model."
"I'm a celebrity in other countries, I just started getting attention here in the U.S.," Annie says.
Since her first appearance in Juggs Magazine in the early 90's, Annie's unique physic continues to intrigue people around the world. Her next stop: Moscow, Russia where she will be appearing in a late night talk show.
"I've lived a productive life with my breasts and I just wouldn't change a thing about me" she says.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Osteoporosis is a disease in which your bones become fragile and are more likely to break. Osteoporosis is responsible for approximately 1,500,000 bone fractures each year. Only 20 percent of people with osteoporosis are diagnosed and treated.
Post-menopausal women most commonly suffer from osteoporosis, but it can affect men and women of all ages. Although the loss of estrogen in women, calcium deficiency and family history all play important roles, factors such as smoking, alcohol and race also contribute. Medications, particularly steroids, such as those taken for asthma and rheumatoid arthritis, also play a role in many ways.
Rehab can also help. Weight bearing exercises have shown positive effects on bone health, especially in post-menopausal women. In addition to promoting healthy bones, exercises can improve strength, balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls and fractures. Therapy tools, also called modalities, also can help manage the pain related to fractures associated with osteoporosis.
For more information on radiological treatments for osteoporosis, please visit our Interventional Radiology section or call 317-621-5555.

Everybody around here is heading to the beach! Are you? Need something to read? Heres a short novel in 3 short chapters:
Chapter 1
Here we have a glorious member of the hibiscus family...a beautiful herbaceous plant that grows in wet places near the beach, just behind the sand dunes, and in adjacent brackish and fresh-water tidal marshes.
Its a large herb, sometimes nearly 6 feet tall. If you ever see this blooming, I know you will love it: the triangular leaves are softly fuzzy, with thousands of tiny star-shaped hairs, and the flowers are really charming.
Looks like a sort of Hibiscus, perhaps, with five bright pink (or white) floppy petals, and a long central column of golden-yellow stamens surrounding the style. The fully-open flower is about 4 across, and like most members of the hibiscus family, the blossom only lasts a day.
This is a variable species, occurring commonly along the Atlantic coast, from Texas all the way to Long Island.
Controversy is involved with its classification: some botanists think it is a European species, which just happens to grow in America, too.
Chapter 2
This plant belongs to a genus that is named after Vincenz Kosteletzky, a prominent botanist and physician of 19th Century Prague, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic, of course).
Such commemoration of peoples names for plant genera has a wide history. For instance, Shortia is the genus to which the beautiful (and rare) Oconee -bells belongs, named after the prominent botanist and physician (another one!), Dr. Charles Short, of Louisville, Kentucky.
Washingtonia is a genus of two palm species which grow in the southwestern USA and northern parts of Mexico.
This commemorative genus, of course, honors George Washington (neither a botanist nor a physician...but he made a pretty darn good President, I think).
The last example is Franklinia, named after Benjamin Franklin...a genus of but one species in the whole, wide world, the rare and mysterious Franklinia altamaha of Georgia. (There are plenty of other examples of plant genera named after people.)
Chapter 3
Lets finish up this little story, with something about the specimen at hand.
It was collected by Henry W. Ravenel, who resided in the old St. Johns Parish of present-day Berkeley County, South Carolina, some time before the Civil War began.
Ravenel is remembered as one of the Souths most dedicated botanists, perhaps most famous from his studies of fleshy fungi...but he also carefully studied the local vascular flora as well.
His inscription on this specimen indicates that the plant was collected in July (he left off the year) from a swamp along the Cooper River, not far from Charleston.
For a specimen that was collected over 150 years ago, it is in remarkably good shape.
(For more information on Ravenels collection, please visit our web site at www.herbarium.org)
John Nelson is the curator of the A.C. Moore Herbarium at the University of South Carolina. The Herbarium offers free plant identifications. Visit www.herbarium.org or call 803-777-8196, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Answer: Seaside mallow, Marsh-mallow, Kosteletzkya pentacarpos.

I would first like to thank Jim May and the Rochelle League of Woman Voters for hosting the recent concealed carry panel at First National Bank in Rochelle.
The pack crowd attest to the public interest in the subject and underscores the importance of the LWV's forum for the public to hear what law enforcement is doing to implement the new law and to ask any questions they might have. Having participated in the roundtable discussion with Rochelle Police Chief Eric Higby, Ogle County Sheriff Mike Harn and Dekalb County Sheriff Roger Scott I can say the interesting evening was also very informative.
This past spring I sent a letter to Governor Quinn urging passage of conceal carry legislation that would end Illinois' status as the only state that continued to infringe upon the gun rights of good citizens. I'm looking forward to working with Ogle County law enforcement in continuing to keep the public informed of any new second amendment legislation.

LAKE TAHOE - Though the 2011-12 winter might have had skiers and snowboarders praying daily for snow, Snowsports Industries America reported last week that business could have been a lot worse.
In what SIA calls one of the toughest seasons in the snow sports industry's history, snow equipment and retail sales finished the winter down by 13 percent in units sold. Participation in alpine skiing dropped 11 percent nationwide, while snowboarding decreased by 7.5 percent. Resort visits declined by 16 percent.
But despite those drops, the season's market for apparel, equipment and accessories brought in more dollars than either the 2008-09 or 2010-11 seasons, rising by about $300,000 from the prior year. Specialty shops didn't slash prices like they had in previous seasons so retail sales held steady throughout the winter, SIA Market Research Associate Emily O'Hara said.
"Ultimately the reason why there's more money is because retail stayed stable. We didn't see the 40 percent-off sales like we did in previous seasons. And apparel is another reason retail stayed strong. You don't have to ski or snowboard to wear that new North Face," O'Hara said.
Now retailers have to deal with swollen inventories from last season, and O'Hara said snow sports consumers can expect big sales this winter from stores trying to empty out the backrooms.
At Powder House, a ski and snowboard rental shop in South Lake Tahoe, sales remained fairly strong considering the lack of snow, said Stuart Maas, the store's director of Sales, Marketing and Information Technology.
"It was definitely quite a slow start, but it didn't turn out quite as bad as we thought it might be," Maas said.
Powder House launched a strong marketing push to keep the money flowing in, and despite putting some merchandise on sale, revenue stayed high, Maas said.
Vail Resorts, Inc. didn't fair quite as well. According to the ski company's fiscal 2012 full year results, net income declined by more than 50 percent to $16.5 million. Revenue from operations held steadier, and the "resort reported EBITDA," a number which includes mountain and lodging segments, fell by only 3.8 percent to $205.3 million.
"I think last year was a great test of what we're all about here at Heavenly. We won't decrease the guest experience no matter what Mother Nature throws at us. It was a challenge last year. But it's great to see that business can sustain even in tough years," Heavenly Mountain Resort General Manager Pete Sonntag said.
With the 2011-12 season behind them, Vail Resorts and South Shore retailers prepare for the 2013 winter. As of September, Vail's season pass sales for next winter were up by about 17 percent in units sold even though Sonntag said he'd seen some hesitancy in the number of reservation bookings.
Of course snow helps, and Maas said visitors to Powder House's website have already doubled in the past two days as about 6 inches of snow accumulated in the basin.
"This early snowfall helps considerably. It gets the momentum going early. I think it's huge. It gets people in the mindset for winter. They put away the golf clubs and get out the skis. It's definitely all about snow. We find snowfall is the key in driving skier numbers and sales," Maas said.

Steps to improved heifer breeding performance
Steps to improved heifer breeding performance
The steps needed to improve your clients' heifer reproduction program are simple. Dairies with high pregnancy rates in the milking herd may find their heifers are older than the recommended 24-month age at first calving. Improve age at first calving by one or two months to:
1. Reduce raising costs from birth to freshening
2. Create earlier return on investment from heifers joining the milking herd
3. Offer herd management opportunities for expansion or voluntary culling
4. Age at first breeding has a direct impact on when heifers calve for the first time. There are several simple steps your clients can take to get heifers bred sooner:
5. Move heifers to the breeding pen weekly or as size targets are reached.
6. Use LUTALYSE® (dinoprost tromethamine) Sterile Solution on the day of the move to the breeding pen.
Administer Eazi-Breed™ CIDR® Cattle Insert on Day 28 after the move to any heifers not inseminated.
Perform routine pregnancy confirmation.
Re-enroll open heifers to a breeding program with LUTALYSE or Eazi-Breed CIDR.
PDF file, Heifer Breeding, is attached below.

Pinetti exude fine Italian craftsmanship and made to measure design, all of their products are made from top quality materials respecting the environment. Almost thirty years of research and innovation have been invested into the hand crafting of leather and wood for the production of Pinetti's selection of accessories including photo albums, notebooks, iPad & iPhone covers. It is an untiring passion for paper, leather and colour that guides the Pinetti team of designers in creating new objects for every moment of life; work, the family & travel.
Pinetti was founded in 1983 in Bergamo, a city close to Milan, thanks to the passion of Ezia and Alberto Pinetti, a young couple who wanted to render special all the moments of life with objects dedicated to all the needs of living together. They began crafting objects for the home, initially all of which were designed and made for themselves and their friends. The success of their production, nearly all one-off examples, soon led to the foundation of the company which immediately met with great success. Ezia and Alberto's passion soon affected all members of the family, and their three sons all became full time employees at Pinetti, bringing their architectural and 3D design skills into the fold.
The evolution of the company over the years has widened the range of products offered, and now Pinetti meets with great success in the stationery sector with its high class notebooks, in the ambit of small leather items, personal accessories and in the wedding and ceremony sector.
Pinetti is world renowned for excellence in design and its all-Italian craftsmanship throughout all stages of production, from the choice of materials to the final quality control. They strongly believe in respecting nature and the environment, it's with this aim that they make a scrupulous selection of the hides, coming exclusively from cattle destined to be butchered for food. The hides selected by Pinetti in their raw state are treated only by tanneries that guarantee a production process that observes all ecology standards.
All materials are selected with special attention paid to the degree of environmental impact and energy savings. The origin of the hides, the paper and the type of production process, are all fundamental elements that distinguish the quality of Pinetti products; useful, luxurious and respectful of nature.

LEWISTOWN - Proud parents Jessie and Kane Amspacker were finally able to bring baby Layla Adele Amspacker, the first baby born at Lewistown Hospital in 2013, home Monday afternoon.
Layla was born at 10:22 p.m. on Jan. 1, at 6 pounds and 11 ounces, and 22 1/3 inches long, at Lewistown Hospital. This is the couple's first child.
"It was such a life changing experience," Kane Amspacker said. "I didn't even care about the whole New Year thing. I was just excited to have a baby."

Parents Jessie, left, and Kane Amspacker sit with their daughter Layla Adele on Monday in their home in Yeagertown. Layla was born on New Year's Day at Lewistown Hospital, the first child born at the hospital in 2013.
However, the new father said, it was certainly a race to the finish as Layla was born not 20 minutes before the couple's roommate gave birth.
Shortly after Layla's birth, she was diagnosed with infant pneumonia and immediately transferred to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Amspacker said.
"Thankfully, she got through everything really well and was even eating before the doctors thought she would," Amspacker said. "She's a real fighter."
Layla remained at Danville until Monday when she was discharged and brought home.
The family will receive a car seat from Lewistown Hospital in honor of having the first baby of 2013. They will also receive other gifts from various businesses in the area.
