Modhera :
99 kms from Ahmedabad, the 11th century
Sun temple of Modhera is easily one of the finest examples of devotional
in western India. Built by the Solanki Rajput kings, the aid of
donations from the people, the temple features carved torana arches
mounted on kirti stambhas (pillars of victory) as the entrances, a large
rectangular stepped with 108 smaller shrines, an exquisite 52 pillared
portico, beautiful domed central portion and a sanctum sanctoruim
designed so that the sun light fell on the bejewelled statue of the God,
specially at sunrise during the equinox. The exterior of temple is
carved with traditional erotic scenes, rivalling at Konark and Khajurao,
and depictions of various Gods and, while inside are friezes of the
Mahabharata and portrayed on the pillars. The temple is framed by a well
garden, and sits on the banks of river Pushpawati. There is a cafeteria
here run by the Tourism corporation of India tea, and a PWD Guest House.
The golden period of architecture in Gujarat came during the rule of the
Solanki dynasty, with some splendid architectural wonders coming up
during the 9th-12th century. Forts at Dabhoi and Jhinjwada, the Hindu
temples of Modhera, Somnath(earlier incarnation), Ghumli, Gope,
Bileshwar, Kera and Shamlaji, the Jain temples of Girnar,Kumbhariyaji,Mt
Abu and Taranga, and attractive places for harvesting water-Brahma kund
at Sihore, Sahasralings talao at Patan, Munsar tank at Viramgam, the
stepwells of Patan and Ghumli-came up during this golden era. The most
importanty of this period is Modhera, the Sun temple built in 1026 AD by
Bhimadeva of the Solanki Rajput clan which ruled the whole of what is
now known as Gujarat and neighbouring parts of Rajputana and Malwa from
the 8th to the 13th century, before losing to their relatives the
Sun Temple
Waghelas and later submitting entirely to Muslim rule.The work of
building the temple was commissioned to the Silavat stone masons, who
did not make any designs on paper but followed certain hereditary
principals of architecture and astronomy, and using simple carving
tools, they had an amazing ability to make the hardest stone take on the
quality of delicate wood carving, as amply demonstrated in the marble
temples of Dilwara and the sandstone mansions of Jaisalmer. Their crafts
were well guarded secrets, passed on only from father to son, and being
secular by nature, they also worked on some of the fabulous Indo-Saracenic
mosques of the Ahmed Shahi sultanate in Ahmedabad, combining Islamic
architecture with plenty of Hinduistic ornamantation.
The Sun temple is not very large or as imposing as may be supposed by
those who have seen other Hindu temples in India, but even from a
distance it is obvious that it is covered by intricate carvings of Gods,
Goddesses, men, women and animals in numbers out of all proportion to
its actual size, and is a true gem in the architectural annals of India.
The whole is outclassed by the incredible rectangular step tank or Surya
kund, a majestic 100 sq meter rectangular pond, with interesting
shrines, said to total 108 in all, the auspicious number of flowers on a
garlandLarger shrines to Vishnu, Ganesha and the Natraja incarnation of
Shiva in Tandav stand on 3 sides of the Surya Kund, with the Sabha
mandap of the principal temple soaring on the fourth side, to remind you
that this is the domain of the Sun God.
Patan :
Another fine example of the Solanki
period architecture can be seen at Anahilwada Patan, the capital of
Gujarat from the 8th century till Ahmed Shah moved his seat of power to
the larger and more impressive citadel of Ahmedabad in the 15th century.
It saw the The greatest reminder of the golden period of Gujarat under
the Solanki kings can be seen at the Rani-ki-Vav stepwell some distance
from the town centre. Built in the 1050s and named for Rani Udamati,
wife of Maharajah Bhim Deva and daughter-in-law of Mulraja, founder of
Solanki rule in Gujarat, the stepwell is the oldest and perhaps the
grandest among the 120 plus step wells in Gujarat. It's massive size can
best be measured by comparism with the tourists who descend the steps
and seen from above look little more than ants swarming an anthill. The
stepwell was silted up for centuries, and only a major excavation and
restoration work in the 1980s, which has helped resusticate something of
its former glory.7 storeys down to the water level. Steps are
string-coursed by sculpture of the Avatars of lord Vishnu, Hindu
Goddesses, Jain idols and beautiful apsaras. Behind the water are
sculpture of lord Vishnu.
Chambers, where the royal families came to rest in summer, the water
from the well skimming some of the heat from the breezes, the whole
acting as a natural airconditioning There is talk now of excavating the
surrounding areas, because there must have been palaces and other royal
residences in the vicinity, which used the stepwell as a water source of
aircooling system. Sahasra Linga talao, a large lake surrounded by
beautiful temples, but these shrines are no longer in good condition,
and this form of architecture can be better appreciated at the Musar
tank in Viramgam, an hour away from Modhera, where another string of
temples was erected by the same family. Hindu temples like the 12th
century Maheshwara mandir, Kali mandir and Panchmukhi Hanumana mandir
and the Jain temples like Doshiwar mandir and those in Kapur Mehtano pol
follow the Solanki architectural tradition. The location of Patan on the
banks of river Saraswati, one of the 3 holy rivers of India alongside
the Ganga and the Yamuna, and its tributary the Chandrabhaga, has
contributed considerably to its religious importance, and this explains
the number of temples in this region, besides the fact that it was a
major centre for learning and business in medieval times.
Adalaj :
Situated 18 kms North of Ahmedabad main
City, at the crossing called Adalaj, which is a tri section, this place
cover s a very large area. The entire Vav is split into 5 levels. The
Vav has pillars and walls which are ornately carved. There are gaps in
each level which take you to the lower level. Leaves, flowers, fishes,
birds and other designs fill the walls and pillars. At the entrance of
the Vav there is a small Temple of Mata Rani. Everyone who visits this
Temple prays for the Spirit of Rani Rudabai whose spirit is supposed to
still lurking here.
The uniqueness of Adalaj Ki Vav lies in the fact that there are Islamic
Motifs too are carved on the walls of this Hindu Vav. The details of how
this Vav was constructed is also written in Sanskrit and Pali language.
The Vav also works as a air � conditioner as there is a sharp difference
of six degrees between the outside and inside temperature. Water from
this Vav was used for irrigation purpose and for drinking water too. Its
splendid to see all this.
On the top of the Vav there are Graves of the Workers who built the Vav
� not all of them though! This five stories, Indo � Islamic octagonal
Step well is one of the main attractions of Ahmedabad City. If you are
in Ahmedabad you cannot miss it out. Just like the Chisti Jali and and
the Jhoolti Minarets, Adalaj Ki Vav is a reminense of the past.

This is how I created our mat...
I used knobbed puzzle pieces from a wooden farm puzzle that we already owned. This provided a little extra fine motor pincer grasp practice element. You can use whatever you like to accompany your mat. Small figures are wonderful if you have a selection of them, or you can also simply use images.
My felt is all from the dollar store. The second mat you see was for our Continents Mat here.
When I was satisfied with the layout, I glued everything down with a hot glue gun.
This mat has gotten lots of use and not only with this lesson, but mainly now for lots of storytelling and imaginative play!

Osteosclerosis Fragilitas.
—Windholz20 reported a case of generalized osteosclerosis fragilitas, marble-bone disease, in a 11 month old child. The bones were particularly rich in calcium, and no marrow cavity was demonstrable. All of the bones were equally involved. Banded transverse shadows were present in the metaphyseal regions. No fractures were demonstrable. There was periosteal new bone formation. A bilateral optic atrophy was present. There was a family history of inbreeding. The author mentioned that in the other cases of marblebone disease reported in the literature consanguinity was a frequent finding. Fractures were common, presumably because of the decrease in the relative proportion of connective tissue in the bone, hence the name fragilitas. Atrophy of the optic nerve usually occurred due to the narrowing of the foramen of the orbit. Periosteal changes comparable in appearance were observed in some leukemias and ergosterol poisoning. Alterations in the blood picture were

Revolution! The Atlantic World Reborn explores the enormous transformations in the world's politics and culture between the 1763 triumph of the British Empire in the Seven Years' War and the end of the Napoleonic Wars fifty-two years later. The exhibition vividly illustrates three globally influential revolutions—in America, France, and Haiti—and creates a framework for understanding how they set the world on a new, irreversible course of action and how they sparked more radical calls for a recognition of universal human rights.
The traveling exhibition is designed in a modular format to allow for a flexible configuration. The suggested space is approximately 1,500 square feet (140 square meters). The physical organization of the exhibition includes a series of 12-15 modular wall panels with cases measuring approximately 42 inches wide by 78 inches high (1.07 meters wide x 1.98 meters high) each. The individual modules include reproductions of historical documents and works of art as well as original documents, artifacts, and works of art suitable for travel. The installation is designed to accommodate the addition of collections from venues.

Gundersen Health System offers laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery for patients looking for a bariatric surgery option. With laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery, a small pouch is created, about the size of an egg, from the upper portion of the stomach. The small intestine is divided about 15 to 20 inches from the stomach and one end is attached to the small pouch. The remaining lower stomach and bypassed intestine are reattached to the small intestine at the point of separation.
This approach requires 6 one-half- to one-inch incisions. A high-resolution camera and long, slender instruments are used to perform the operation while watching a video monitor. There are fewer wound infections and incisional hernias, less pain, shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery than open gastric bypass, but this is still major surgery with risks for complications, despite the minimally invasive approach.
Our surgeons will help you decide which option is right for you. To schedule for seminar, call (608) 775-2331 or (800) 362-9567, ext. 52331. For more information or to talk with our dietitian about please questions call (608) 775-0055.

Oliver Stone's "Untold History of the United States," premiering Monday on Showtime, is bound to antagonize and infuriate.
The exceptionally well-done 10-part documentary series is also bound to enlighten and engage.
His colleague in the documentary and book of the same title is Peter Kuznick, a professor of history and director of the Nuclear Studies Institute at American University.
Both men met with Zap2it in a midtown Manhattan office building conference room to discuss this work that took four years.
The series kicks off with "World War II."
"When I was a young boy in New York City, I thought I received a good education," Stone says, facing the camera in the opening. "I studied history extensively. It made sense. We were the center of the world; a manifest destiny, we were the good guys."
Perturbed that his children were not receiving a fuller view of history, Stone continues that he wanted them to "know more than the tyranny of now."
The films are remarkable in many ways. Stone uses his superior filmmaking talents to distill insanely complex topics and illustrates with fascinating visuals. Even those who watch a lot of history documentaries are bound to see footage that are new to them. Stone and what he calls his "guerrilla operation" foraged for historical clips around the world.
He reminds us that more than 60 million people died in World War II, the bloodiest war, and shows how it started slowly in 1931. He ably traces its beginnings and what was going on internationally, then shows how long it was until full American involvement.
The footage from the Soviet Union, of civilians working relentlessly to stave off invaders, is striking. And despite the decades since, it will be so new to so many.
"Though the myth lives on that the U.S. won World War II, serious historians agree that it was the Soviet Union and its entire society, including its brutal dictator, Joseph Stalin, who through sheer desperation and incredibly stoic heroism forged the great narrative of World War II – the defeat of the monster German war machine," Stone, as narrator, says.
Kuznick wrote the script, and it is exceptionally good. It is also, as a perusal of the 750-page book reveals, professorial. But a very strong argument can be made that television would benefit immensely from having more thoughtful and thought-provoking professors and directors and less shrieking, fighting and shopping from ill-behaved boors aiming only for fame.
The result is a stunningly different take on history, one that will likely aggravate those certain that the United States was always the leader of the victors.
"We are still so dominant that we haven't had to question our mythology the way other countries do," Kuznick says.
"It will change the way we think," Stone says, "to get outside the spin."
"My daughter has a school textbook," Stone says. "I looked up the Cold War. She was in 11th grade. I wanted to see what she was learning. It was all about the Soviet Union's domination of Eastern Europe."
Though he, of course, acknowledges the truth in that statement, Stone says, "it doesn't do what Peter and my book and movie do – and give the global perspective."

2011 Ultimate Beach House Room Tour
Check out our East Beach Idea House in Norfolk, Virginia. It's packed with fantastic decorating ideas—all yours to steal!
Cement Siding: Planks and shingles made of reinforced concrete have the charm of traditional wood siding but will stand up to the coastal environment longer with less maintenance.
HOT TIN ROOF: With the same appeal of historic metal roofs, this steel version deflects as much as 90 percent of the sun's heat, thereby keeping the house cooler.
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH: Double-decker porches framed by bright white columns create a welcoming facade and encourage interaction with neighbors in Norfolk's East Beach community, where houses are clustered along pedestrian-friendly streets.
Statement Piece: With its dark background and large scale, this simple, powerful photo of an albatross is the perfect dramatic art for the otherwise airy space.
Top Brass Lamp Shades: This seaworthy metal is more practical (read: easier to keep clean!) in a beach house than fabric shades. Bonus: A pair of floor lamps frees up space on the end tables.
All Washed Up: The ceiling's gray-white wash (paint thinned with water) resembles driftwood that's floated ashore.
Attention to Detail: Extra touches, such as the square blocks added to window casings and trim layered in a wainscot pattern, create the look of custom paneling without the high price tag.
Mirror Image: Fanned-out paddles are a sculptural, cheeky take on the classic round mirror.
Custom Job: Can't find a striped fabric that floats your boat? Try piecing together solids in the width of your choice for a graphic color-block effect, like that of the banquette slipcovers.
Sheer Bliss: Pleated linen draperies filter bright seaside light and lend an ethereal quality to the space.
Sky Blue Hue: The dreamy wall shade is a soft backdrop for the starker contrast between the navy and white upholstery. Tip: Vary blues for a more sophisticated, less matchy-matchy look.
Marine Scheme: The deep blue recycled ceramic-tile back-splash and durable enameled cast iron cookware echo the shades in the adjacent living and dining spaces as well as the bay.
Seamless Stainless: Appliances such as this dishwasher that can be installed flush with cabinetry lend a streamlined look.
Planks with Patina: Watered-down gray paint gives the wide-plank oak floors a worn, weathered finish that's as beautiful as it is durable.
Eye-catching Lighting: Bigger is better when it comes to above-island pendants. This stainless steel fixture is more than 3 feet long!
Everyday Art: Find beauty in the ordinary by curating a collection of similar items, like these brightly colored flip-flops framed in Lucite boxes.
Double-duty Built-Ins: Space-saving bench seating is even more efficient when there's room for storage below.
Outside In: The banquette cushions' weatherproof fabric can be wiped down with a sponge, making white a safe choice for the dining area.
Charted Territory: Antique, hand-colored nautical maps of the Mid-Atlantic coast and a pair of fish-eye mirrors frame the bed and bedside lamps (above right) with a graphic, symmetrical arrangement.
Lighten Up: A pair of balustrade-shaped bedside lamps, typically made of wood, take an airy turn in translucent glass.

Checkmate: Made from square tiles in different sizes and colors, the bath's mosaic floor is a fresh update on a classic checkerboard pattern.
Durable Surface: Made of a synthetic material that looks like wood, this porch floor is resistant to mildew, moisture, splitting, scratches, and stains.
Window Dressing: The shutters' rich navy color and off-beat hardware make them worthy of a double take. They're functional, too—they cover the windows' entire width to offer storm protection.
Dimensional Decor: Antique creamware plates and a set of whitewashed antlers are a 3-D alternative to typical artwork above the bed.
Tailored Treatment: Arabesque-shaped valances, which highlight the room's high ceilings, take a preppy turn when framed with trim in a contrasting fabric.
Reed Between the Lines: The vanity's fluted detail resembles the rattan reeds used to make furniture commonly found in coastal locales.
Graphic Design: Buttons and piping (upholstered in a contrasting shade) give the headboard a preppy, graphic punch.
Texture Message: The nubby burlap wall-covering adds casual comfort and visual interest.
Made in the Shade: A retractable awning and manual roller shades made of weatherproof fabric offer protection from bright sunlight and strong sea breezes.
Eco-Chic Rug: With wide stripes, super-soft ribbing, and 50 percent recycled content, this indoor/outdoor rug is good-looking and good for the environment.
Hedge Fun: A row of tall, slender elm trees creates a privacy screen (with enough height to shield the second floor, too!); silvery green maiden grass beneath softens the fence with beachy texture.
Top Shelves: Their openness offers easy access to everyday items such as dishes and stemware.
Tile Style: The irregular texture of the glazed white bricks on the backsplash is a rustic twist on porcelain subway tile.
Lighting the Way: A pair of pendants are like spotlights over the counter workspaces in the kitchen, while a pair of swing-arm sconces provides just enough light for reading.

Short cuts make life easier for those struggling to keep up, too. Whilst approaching certain sections of a track, an icon will appear for a brief amount of time. If you press the A button within this short window, a new section of the track will open up, offering a quicker route to the finish line. These shortcuts don't stay open for long, however, and if you're too slow to follow somebody through one, the results can be fatal (and incredibly funny). Seeing somebody crash into a closed door or driving off a ledge into the sea is the source of endless entertainment. If you're going to take a short cut, be absolutely sure you can make it through in time.
The most adrenaline soaked aspects of a race come in the form of Power Plays - large scale environmental set pieces that affect the very terrain being raced on. Filling the aforementioned meter through all three levels allows players to initiate these set pieces at certain points around the track. These are level specific, and make use of whatever the theme of the level happens to be, whether it's airplanes, helicopters or cruise ships. These are the most impressive set pieces the game has to offer, and funnel the action into scripted scenes that wouldn't look out of place in Hollywood.
Due to these events, Black Rock Studios has had to ensure that players are kept together. Because of this, it's very difficult to build up a decent lead over the competition, and the pack is always within a few seconds of one another. This 'rubber-banding' ensures that environmental set pieces aren't wasted, although at the same time, making it that much harder for skilled racers to emerge victorious. Still, the action that subsequently unfolds around the race is more than worth it, and the banding isn't really noticeable in the midst of avoiding collapsing buildings and dodging wrecking balls. I can remember one particular race where six of the eight players finished within about two seconds of each other; the competitive roar that filled the room leading up to that moment was truly something to behold.
The worry is that once each of the tracks' shortcuts and hazards have been learnt, the experience might become stale. After all, the game relies on grand set pieces that aim to take the player by surprise. That said, I played certain tracks numerous times, and each race was different from the last. Events that happen in one race might not happen in another, meaning that each can play out in a variety of ways. Still, those who invest a moderate amount of time into the game will learn the levels very quickly, and once done, there's very little to separate skilled players other than luck.
Thankfully, other modes help relieve this problem. During my time with the multiplayer, I got to try out three modes; race, elimination and survivor. While the standard race and elimination modes won't be anything new to racing fans, the survivor mode is worthy of a quick explanation. Here, players race alongside trucks - mechanical behemoths that drop explosive barrels as they tear around the course. By avoiding their dangerous cargo and overtaking, a combo is built and points start to amass. The longer you're able to survive, the bigger your combo, and thus the bigger your score will be. It's very different from the racing modes, and offers some welcome variation to the multiplayer experience.
There's certainly a lot of fun to be had with the Split/Second multiplayer, which concentrates as much orchestrated devastation as possible into each race. Its longevity, however, is questionable. Black Rock has gone to great lengths to ensure that players can share the grandeur of the game's action scenes, but only time will prove if there's true staying power here. There's certainly an audience for what Split/Second has to offer, but with Bizarre Creation's Blur releasing around the same time, that market is going to be forced into making a tough decision.
Split/Second: Velocity is out May 21 on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

New Mexico State University officials are proposing new tuition rates that officials say would incentivize students to take more classes each semester and graduate earlier.
President Garrey Carruthers says earlier graduation means students will have less debt.
The new rates would implement lower per-credit tuition rates for students who take more credits each semester. Some students' tuition costs would drop while others' costs would rise.
The proposal was unveiled Wednesday in advance of a regents meeting Thursday.
Overall, the new plan amounts to a net tuition increase of $1.8 million for the university.
State residents currently pay $3,110 for between 12 and 18 credits per semester.
Under the proposal, a 12-credit semester would cost $2,975. The total cost of a 15- or 18-credit semester would rise to $3,287.

Company is really trying to reduce expenses but core problem is their distribution model and lack of diversity in the senior managers at the regional level. Company is too white to be considered a leader in insurance. Wake up Allstate. Wake up Wilson.
They are trying to reduce expenses at the expense of their long term policy holders.I filed a claim in early June on my h/o policy. The inept adjustor who wasn't even from Allstate came in with an estimate for repairs that was about a third of what it will cost to repair the damage.Finally after sending additional detailed info from the repair service and talking on the phone with the adjustor he agreed to the claim.However to date I still need a check from Allstate. I might point out this has been over a month. I have been a policy holder for over 20 years with Allstate with a delux h/o policy which covers replacement cost.
That can happen. Never mind why. Discussing that won't fix your house.If you have more damage costs, then you must have higher repar estimates. If you have higher repair estimates, you need a re-inspection.If you need a re-inspection in connection with higher written repair estimates, calmly and politely call "CLAIMS" and request instructions on how to submit a "POLITE" letter to the claims department employees. Those employees that did not incorrectly inspect your house are there to help you. Explain your dilemma. Ask for a re-inspection by a qualified "Allstate Claims Adjuster". You possibly were inspected by a contracted inspector anyway. Before you do this, you be sure you are dealing with an honest contractor. Have more than one estimate done to be sure you are not being used by a dishonest contractor. Once you are confident you require a re-inspection, make the selected contractor commit to being on site for the re-inspection.If everything is under-estimated and you do this, you will be taken care of..... Past experience say's so. This is standard procedure. Get it done.

L.; Sureda, Francesc X.; Turch, M.; Amat, Mercedes; Bosch, Joan; Santos, Maria M. M. Resumo: N-Methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists are known to rescue neuronal cell death caused by excessive activation of glutamate receptors. This phenomenon, known as excitotoxicity, is implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative disorders including ischemia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease. Unfortunately, some NMDA receptor antagonists have shown discouraging results when tested in clinical trials. However, recent advances in the physiology and pharmacology of the NMDA receptor have kept interest alive in modulating NMDA receptors for therapeutic intervention. We present here the synthesis of a small library of phenylalaninol-derived oxazolopyrrolidone lactams and their evaluation as NMDA receptor antagonists. The compounds were easily synthesized in yields up to 92 %. In addition, one of the compounds has a 50 % inhibitory concentration (IC (50)) of 62 mu M and offers potential to develop more potent NMDA receptor antagonists. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z Enantioselective formal synthesis of ent-rhynchophylline and ent-isorhynchophylline Amat, Mercedes Ramos, Carlos Pérez, Maria Molins, E.

M.; Moreira, Rui; Solá, Susana; Rodrigues, C. M. P. Resumo: Naphthoquinones are bioactive compounds widespread in nature that impact on several cellular pathways, including cell proliferation and survival, by acting as prooxidants and electrophiles. We have previously described the role of the synthetic isoxazole condensed 1,4-naphthoquinone derivative 1a in preventing apoptosis induced by distinct stimuli in several cell models. In addition, apoptosis regulators and executioners may control neural stem cell (NSC) fate, without involving cell death per se. Here, we hypothesize that 1a might also play a role in NSC fate decision. We found that exposure to 1a shifts NSC differentiation potential from neurogenic to gliogenic lineage and involves the generation of reactive oxygen species, without increasing cell death. Modulation of caspases and calpains, using cysteine protease inhibitors, failed to mimic 1a effects. In addition, incubation with the naphthoquinone derivative resulted in upregulation and nuclear translocation of antioxidant responsive proteins, Nrf2 and Sirt1, which in turn may mediate 1a-directed shift in NSC differentiation. In fact, antioxidants halted the shift in NSC differentiation potential from neurogenic to gliogenic lineage, while strongly reducing reactive oxygen species generation and Nrf2 and Sirt1 nuclear translocation in NSC exposed to 1a. Collectively, these data support a new role for a specific naphthoquinone derivative in NSC fate decision and underline the importance of redox environment control. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z Stereocontrolled Generation of Benzo[a]- and Indolo[2,3-a]quinolizidines from (S)-Tryptophanol and (S)-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)alaninol-Derived Lactams Pérez, Maria Arioli, Federica Rigacci, Gianna Santos, Maria M.

Pedro Rodriguez May 14, 2011 speaks on Art and Jungian Thought from 5 to 7 at Gage Hall, 4 Archdale St Charleston SC.
Born and raised in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, Pedro Rodriguez began painting while living on the New Jersey Shore, following his service in the Army. He started exhibiting his work while attending the University of Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky, where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts and Master's Degrees in Art Education, Spanish, and Art Therapy. After moving with his family to South Carolina, Rodriguez continued to participate in exhibitions. He has exhibited at The Church Street Gallery in 2004, 10 Storehouse Row Opening, North Charleston Arts Festival (2nd Place in 2006, Purchase Award in 2007), and the MOJA Juried Exhibition (Honorable Mention, 2007). Exhibitions in 2008 included a solo show at The Saul Alexander Gallery at the Charleston County Main Library. Currently he has works on display at The Meeting Place Art & Craft Gallery in North Charleston. He currently has paintings at the Runaway Bay, a Jamaican restaurant, in the Riverfront Park and at Evo's restaurant. Also, one of his paintings is the official design for the North Charleston Arts Festival of 2011. As a musician, Pedro performs traditional Latin American music at various festivals and local events. Pedro's presentations often include a combination of his artwork and music to teach about Latin American culture. When speaking about "Strings" the work shown below, Rodriguez states, "Strings is an attempt to stimulate the brain into hearing music through color and composition. By looking at the trio can you hear the piece?" Pedro's piece, along with of several of his other works, are at an exhibition at the North Charleston City Gallery all of May.
Please join us at Gage Hall, next to the Unitarian Church at 4 Archdale Street, Charleston. Doors open at 4:30 pm and the lecture will start at 5 pm. There will be light refreshments $10 CJS members, $20 non-members, $15 Students.

We prospectively analysed the prognostic significance of FDG-PET/CT at diagnosis, after induction therapy and ASCT in an homogeneous population of 192 patients with newly diagnosed MM, followed for a median of 43 months. By study design, all patients were studied with FDG-PET/CT at baseline, after induction treatment, after 3 months from ASCT (single or double), once a year during the maintenance/follow-up phase and at time of relapse. Bone marrow involvement was described as negative, diffuse or focal. The number of focal lesions (FLs), as well as size and associated standardized uptake values (SUV) were recorded. Extra-medullary disease (EMD), if present, was described by location, size, number and SUV.
Twenty four percent of the patients had a negative PET/CT scan at diagnosis. Among PET/CT-positive patients, 44% showed ≥ 3 FLs, 46% had SUV values > 4.2 and in 6% EMD could be detected. These 3 variables adversely affected 4-year estimates of PFS and OS. In particular, both EMD and severe FDG uptake were significantly associated with shorter PFS and OS.
Thirty seven percent of the patients were PET/CT-negative after induction. A strong correlation between conventional response and SUV max reduction was evident, the mean SUV value of patients achieving CR being significantly lower in comparison with that of patients reaching very good partial response (VGPR) or partial response (mean: 1.4 vs 3, respectively) (Cuzick's trend test, P= 0.016). Persistence of severe FDG uptake (SUV max still > 4.2) after induction predicted for shorter PFS at 4 years (P= 0.004).
PET/CT negativity (PET-CR) was observed in 65% of patients after 3 months from ASCT(s). A close relationship between PET/CT negativity and response to ASCT was evident, since 95% of patients with a negative PET/CT had achieved at least a VGPR (P= 0.003). Moreover, a correlation between conventional response and SUV max reduction was evident after ASCT as well (mean: 0.8 vs 1.8, respectively) (Cuzick's trend test, P= 0.001). PET-CR after ASCT conferred superior PFS and OS in comparison with persistence of FDG uptake. In particular, the 4-year estimates of PFS and OS for PET-CR patients were 66% and 89%, respectively, as compared with 45% and 65% for positive patients (P=0.02 both for PFS and OS). Notably, 23% of patients achieving CR according to conventional criteria still had positive PET/CT scans and their 4-year estimate of PFS was 30%, as compared with 61% for negative patients (P=0.02)
After ASCT, patients were followed with evaluation of M protein every 3 months and of PET/CT once a year. In 44% of those who had a conventionally-defined relapse or progression, the mean time to relapse/progression was 27.6 months for PET-negative patients as compared with 18 months for positive patients (P=0.05). In PET-positive patients, the SUV max was inversely correlated to the time to relapse (correlation coefficient -0.7, P= 0.003).
In multivariate analysis, both severe PET/CT involvement at diagnosis (SUV > 4.2 and/or EMD) and persistence of FDG uptake after ASCT were independent predictors of worst PFS (SUV > 4.2= HR: 2.0, 95%CI: 1.13-3.72; EMD= HR: 15.0, 4.0-55.8; FDG uptake after ASCT= HR: 2.12, 1.19-3.77) and OS (EMD= HR: 6.99, 2.28-21.46; FDG uptake after ASCT= HR: 3.57, 1.03-12.39).
In conclusion, PET-defined CR was linked to conventionally-defined CR and was an independent prognostic factor in MM patients receiving up-front novel agent-based induction therapy and ASCT. PET/CT contributed to a more careful definition of CR, in particular after ASCT, and could be usefully incorporated into the algorithm to evaluate the depth of response in young MM patients.

Schools should consider partnering with City Year
M&T's Robert Wilmers, the M&T Foundation and the Buffalo Public Schools are currently exploring Teach for America to add teachers to improve student outcomes. My daughter works for another AmeriCorps program in Boston called City Year that may also be worth investigating.
Started by two Harvard Law School roommates, City Year's mission is wholly focused on keeping students in lower-performing urban schools on track to graduate. Talented City Year Corps members, ages 17 to 24, volunteer full time in city schools for a "year" in grades three through nine.
The young mentors enthusiastically greet arriving students in the morning, run before- and after-school programs, provide intensive tutoring, help with homework and check in with absent students to stress the connection between attendance and success.
Known as near peers, they lead students in community service projects and occasionally accompany them to sporting and cultural events.
Wearing signature red jackets with City Year emblazoned on the back, participants are visible and supported in the cities in which they serve.
A proven program, City Year has demonstrated gains in attendance, behavior and academics and corresponding increases in high school graduation rates.
Less measurable, but equally compelling, is the lasting influence these idealistic volunteers have on the impressionable students they generously help every day.
Like other AmeriCorps programs, selection is thorough and competitive, with five applicants for each opening.
Aside from the rewards of giving a year to change the world, City Year's slogan, volunteers receive basic living expenses from AmeriCorps and City Year funds.
Alumni are also eligible for generous scholarships through partnerships with many colleges and universities.
Headquartered in Boston, there are 24 City Year programs across the United States. For more information, visit www.cityyear.org.
