Postage stamps have evolved quite a bit since Great Britain's 1840 Penny Black, the world's first adhesive postage stamp. From simple designs featuring the monarch to works of art literally condensed to postage stamp size, hundreds of thousands of different stamps have been issued in the past 164 years--and the great majority of them remain reasonably priced for collectors. With so many stamps to collect from so many countries, a philatelist's choices are virtually unlimited--which can be both a blessing and a curse, especially if you're a newcomer to the art of stamp collecting. Interested in starting a stamp collection, but not sure where to begin? This is the guide for you. Expert Richard Sine fills you in on everything you need to know about selecting, finding, buying, presenting and caring for stamps.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Spectrum Pharmaceuticals may not have found success with its bladder cancer candidate in Phase III but it is going after a $206 million acquisition of Allos Therapeutics. The company is reporting today failure to achieve primary endpoints with apaziquone but on a more positive note is also providing details for its bid for cancer drug developer Allos.
Spectrum and Allos inked a definitive agreement under which Spectrum will acquire all the outstanding shares of Allos for $1.82 per share in cash plus one contingent value right. This CVR entitles Allos stockholders to an additional payment of $0.11 per share in cash if Folotyn obtains conditional approval in Europe for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) this year and achieves its first reimbursable commercial sale in at least three major EU markets by December 31, 2013.
The up-front portion of the transaction is valued at up to $206 million on a fully-diluted basis and $108 million net of Allos' cash balance at the end of 2011. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to Spectrum on a cash basis in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Folotyn is a folate analogue metabolic inhibitor. It received accelerated approval from the FDA in September 2009 for use as a single agent for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL. The companies report that the drug generated more than $35 million in U.S. net sales in 2010 and $50 million in 2011. Allos is also developing Folotyn in other hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.
"For Spectrum, this acquisition adds another diversified source of revenue, accelerates the development of our hematology franchise, and affirms our commitment to becoming a leader in the treatment of lymphoma," says Rajesh C. Shrotriya, M.D., chairman, CEO, and president of Spectrum.
The company currently markets two oncology drugs, Zevalin® and Fusilev®. Zevalin is indicated for relapsed or refractory, low-grade, or follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) as well as previously untreated follicular NHL. Fusilev is approved for advanced metastatic colorectal cancer and high-dose methotrexate rescue therapy in osteosarcoma. The firm reported total revenues for 2011 of $193 million, up 160% from 2010 and comprising product sales of $181 million: $153 million from Fusilev and $28 million from Zevalin.
"Zevalin and Folotyn are targeted to the same hematologists/oncologists for the treatment of different forms of lymphoma. Thus, we are well positioned to immediately leverage the combined strengths of the two companies, while expanding the number of cancer patients that can benefit from our products. Because of our strong operating performance, cash reserves, fiscal discipline, and a revolving credit line, we do not need to issue any equity to close this transaction."
The transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of both companies. Additionally, Warburg Pincus, Allos' largest shareholder and owner of approximately 24% of Allos' outstanding shares, along with the directors and certain officers of Allos, have agreed to tender all of their shares into the tender offer and vote in favor of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2012.
While the acquisition of Allos will certainly add an immediate revenue stream to Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, the company has lost out on pushing its own late-stage drug candidate into the market. Spectrum says that apaziquone did not achieve the primary endpoint in a pair of Phase III trials in bladder cancer. Apaziquone is an anticancer drug that is activated to become a cytotoxic alkylating agent by bio-reductive enzymes such as DT-diaphorase that are over-expressed in bladder cancer cells.
In two double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase III trials, apaziquone failed to generate a statistically significant difference in the rate of tumor recurrence at two years. Analysis of the pooled data from both studies, however, showed a statistically significant treatment effect in favor of apaziquone in the primary endpoint and one secondary endpoint, time to recurrence. The company is considering to request a meeting with the FDA to discuss future steps.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on August 16, 2012.
Learn by doing: CameraSim 2.0 will teach you how to use a DSLR camera.
This project's funding goal was not reached on August 16, 2012.
A couple years ago, I built a simple online camera simulator to help people understand their DSLR cameras.
I'm now trying to raise funds to develop the next version: CameraSim 2.0.
CameraSim 1.0 lets you experiment with wildly different camera settings and see how each affects the final "photo." It provides instant feedback on what you did right, or how your settings can be improved. It isn't perfect, but it does a great job of demonstrating some DSLR basics like:
As more background, here's a quick overview of the current CameraSim 1.0:
I'm proud of what my developer Josh and I have been able to do with CameraSim as a mere side project, but we've only scratched the surface. There is SO much more that we can do to make this the ultimate DSLR-learning tool!
That's where we need your help!
The current version of CameraSim represents a time investment of hundreds of hours, and building the next version will require even more. This will be a total rewrite of the application as we create a more thought-out, scalable architecture. It's a ton of work, but we're excited and can't wait to get started!
With your financial support, we'll be able to work on this full time for ~9 months and create these cool NEW features for CameraSim 2.0:
(If you've not already done so, please check out the video at the top of the page.)
Q: Who are you guys?
A: Josh Roof and I (Jon Arnold) are a company of two. We design software and have been in business since 1998 (which in internet years is like an ice-age ago). We want to take our pet project CameraSim into a new, glorious era.
Q: What will CameraSim 2.0 do? How will it be better than CameraSim 1.0?
A: CameraSim 1.0 covered only the very basics of using a DSLR camera. We want to enhance it to simulate ALL settings of a DSLR, and cover some non-camera fundamentals like composition, lighting, and post-processing. Basically, everything that a person new to photography needs to learn to start taking amazing photos!
Q: Why not just work on this in your spare time?
A: We have been, hence the CameraSim 1.0 you see today. We've made improvements to it over the past year, but nights and weekends are only getting us so far. The unfortunate reality is that great products don't emerge from part time efforts. It's time to go for it and do it right.
Q: Why not get investors like a normal startup?
A: We're not looking to raise millions of dollars and have espresso-bots serve us drinks all day. We are simply appealing to the benevolent Internet – via the fabulous Kickstarter – to help get this off the ground.
Q: What platforms will CameraSim run on?
A: We're going to optimize it for Windows, Mac, and tablets (iPad and Android). We may do a smartphone version, but right now it's a low priority. Our current CameraSim 1.0 for iPhone only gets about 25% of the downloads that our iPad version gets, so we're thinking that the app is just better suited for the tablet and desktop worlds.
Q: Is CameraSim for people learning photography or is it for photography instructors?
A: Yes. And by that I mean both. I originally intended CameraSim to be used by anyone wanting to learn about DSLRs on his or her own. But I hear from photography instructors all the time how it is an invaluable tool for classroom or tutoring settings. CameraSim 2.0 will have an "instructor mode" that will make it more of an interactive visual aid appropriate for instructors and presenters.
Q: How will you use the Kickstarter funds?
A: Josh and I will be putting our "real jobs" on hold for 9 months while we work fulltime on CameraSim 2.0, so most of the funds will go toward our salaries (we both have families that require feeding almost every day.) We also have some basic operational expenses that we'll need to cover. Anything raised above and beyond our goal will allow us to make CameraSim 2.0 even better by working longer or bringing in more hands to work faster.
Q: What happens if you don't reach your Kickstarter funding goal?
A: Pledges aren't actually processed by Kickstarter unless we reach our goal. That's why we need your help, otherwise we get nothing.
Q: I dig your efforts to help people learn DSLR photography. How do I support you?
A: Just peruse the rewards on the right and pledge as much as you can and feel like you should. You'd also be doing us a huge favor by sharing this on Facebook, Twitter and such.
Whether you decide to pledge or not, you can help the CameraSim cause by sharing this with your friends:
We're here to help and don't want to leave any question unanswered. For any questions of any kind (media inquiries, special circumstances, curiosity questions…seriously, anything) please contact me (Jon) at firstname.lastname@example.com.
For general information about CameraSim, check out camerasim.com.
Tell me, and I will
Show me, and I may remember.
Involve me, and I will understand.
-- Confucius, 450 BC
That quote pretty much sums up what I'm trying to do with CameraSim: help people truly 'get' and enjoy DSLR photography.
Thanks for reading and supporting the future of CameraSim. It truly means the world to me!
Jon Arnold

Enacted in 2012, this law was the first to ban statewide landfilling of recyclables and food waste, and in turn, disrupted status quo, and reconceptualized how Vermonters define 'waste.' In response, networks of food system and waste professions have emerged to restructure their community and waste system. This study explores those networks, and their horizontal governance structures, to understand their effects on the complex issue of food waste. Using two main networks, the Food Cycle Coalition (FCC) and the Solid Waste Implementation Advisory Committee (SWIAC), this study finds that elements of information exchange and inclusion of diverse perspectives exist that could lead to positive behavior change. Finally, this study recommends that municipalities adopt multilevel governance when enacting laws that shift behaviors, and makes a case for planners to recognize their role in the changing waste landscape. 2016-08-01T00:00:00Z Municipal Responses to Syrian Refugee Inflow to Lebanon: Studying the impact of religiopolitical affiliations on policy responses El-Samra, Siba http://hdl.handle.net/1813/43063 2016-03-18T05:03:39Z 2015-05-01T00:00:00Z Municipal Responses to Syrian Refugee Inflow to Lebanon: Studying the impact of religiopolitical affiliations on policy responses El-Samra, Siba In a country where politics and religion are far from being separated, policies fall victim of stagnation and biases. The Lebanese government's response to the Syrian Refugee inflow is not an exception. With the new challenge enforced by large numbers of refugees and the lack of clear response policy from the central government, local governments find themselves improvising their policies and responses. In this piece conduct two of types of analyses. One is quantitative comprising a simple regression analysis comparing religious affiliations within districts to the flow of refugees to these districts. The other is qualitative where I base my reflection and analysis on interviews I conducted with 9 local government leaders of different religio-political affiliations. I look at the responses of these officials and the reasoning they follow in generating and implementing them. The purpose is to hear their perspective, analyze their responses with respect to their religio-political backgrounds and learn from their experiences. As both analyses show corresponding results of differences in responses based on religio-political affiliations, interviews reveal more about the challenges these local governments share, their relation to refugees and aid providers and the refugees' living conditions. Therefore, I divide my analysis based on four points 1) infrastructure and competition challenges, 2) types and levels of security control, 3) shelter and 4) the relation with INGOs and GOs. Finally, I conclude in a list of 5 takeaways from the municipalities' diverse experiences. These experiences are an important asset for understanding what works and what doesn't in the relief world. They are also informative of the abilities as well as the needs of Lebanese municipal governments, which can advise a more effective distribution of tasks among the different institutions. 2015-05-01T00:00:00Z OBSERVING THE PUBLIC REALM IN BROOKLYN: EXPLORING DIGITAL ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES FOR PUBLIC SPACES Moran, Daniel W http://hdl.handle.net/1813/37321 2015-07-08T12:05:35Z 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z OBSERVING THE PUBLIC REALM IN BROOKLYN: EXPLORING DIGITAL ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES FOR PUBLIC SPACES Moran, Daniel W This paper expands discourse and methodologies for the scientific study of urban public spaces. It presents an analysis of observational data collected for the Fulton Area Business Alliance in Brooklyn, NY. Over the summer of 2013, two park spaces in Brooklyn were observed to determine the volume of use, the types of users, and the clustering patterns within the space. Spatial statistical analysis is performed to detect hot spots of activity. The study demonstrates that usage trends can be discerned through direct-observational techniques, and that fine-grain GIS analysis can assist in the formulation of and justification for new designs. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Ready or Not, Here They Come: How U.S. Cities are Preparing for the Aging Population, and Lessons from New York City and Atlanta Morken, Lydia J http://hdl.handle.net/1813/29607 2015-07-08T03:48:23Z 2012-08-01T00:00:00Z Ready or Not, Here They Come: How U.S. Cities are Preparing for the Aging Population, and Lessons from New York City and Atlanta Morken, Lydia J Graying Baby Boomers and advances in medicine, technology and public health mean that by 2030 nearly one in five people in the U.S. will be 65 years old or older. The needs of this aging population will put unprecedented pressure on society, including on cities, through new demands on housing, transportation, public space, health care, and a wide range of services. This paper examines the role of cities in this demographic transformation by exploring the notion of elder-friendly communities, the relationship between human aging and the built environment, and a comparison of Age-friendly NYC in New York City and Lifelong Communities in Atlanta, two wide-ranging initiatives to make those places friendlier to older residents. It compares the two efforts to understand what strategies were developed to address the challenges unique to each place, and explores several major lessons that have emerged from which other cities might learn. 2012-08-01T00:00:00Z Public Private Partnerships in Urban Parks: A Case Study of Five U.S. Parks Wilson, Amanda http://hdl.handle.net/1813/29010 2015-07-08T01:45:14Z 2011-06-01T00:00:00Z Public Private Partnerships in Urban Parks: A Case Study of Five U.S. Parks Wilson, Amanda Public-private partnerships (P3s) are increasingly used to manage public parks. What do cities, citizens, and organizations need to know when establishing a P3 for park management? What are the opportunities and implications of these partnerships? This research provides information not readily available on the structure and operations of public-private partnerships in five U.S. parks. These parks present a range of funding sources and expenditures, programming, concessions, and historical contexts. Though these parks differ in certain aspects, distinct trends and lessons emerge. From these trends and a review of academic literature I propose recommendations for establishing and monitoring the public-private partnership process. This research began as part of an in internship with the Downtown Austin Alliance in the summer of 2010. Data on these parks were collected through interviews with park managers during the summer and fall of 2010 and supplemented by park websites or online news sources. 2011-06-01T00:00:00Z The Effect of NSP on HUD and its Grantees Decker, Nathaniel http://hdl.handle.net/1813/22952 2015-07-08T06:34:43Z 2011-06-01T00:00:00Z The Effect of NSP on HUD and its Grantees Decker, Nathaniel This report examines how suburban characteristics may have hampered grantees' administration of the first round of Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP1) funding. The report focuses on NSP1's "set-aside" requirement which was designed to preserve housing (either rental or owner) affordable to very-low income families. This report reviews available literature and uses interviews with HUD (who administered the program), nonprofit partners, and two Florida grantees to examine the effect of four community characteristics: goals that are contrary to the creation of affordable housing, limited capacity to administer NSP, a dearth of NSP-eligible multifamily properties, and limited capacity in the jurisdiction's nonprofit community. This report finds that many grantees struggled with the fast pace of this crisis-response program. However, this fast pace directed HUD's attention to grantees that were chronic under-performers under other block grant programs such as CDBG, and may have improved grantee capacity as well as their relationship with HUD. 2011-06-01T00:00:00Z

So my FIL is awesome! He is a very old school Greek man and I love him for it. But I recently heard a story that just made my mouth drop!
He was very close friends with Hugh Hefner and used to hang out at the original mansion in Chicago back in the day!! In a way it doesn't surprise me because that is totally his personality, but it was just kind of weird to hear him tell me the story lol.
Another funny story about my ILs... DH is the youngest of 4. Well his parents let him sleep in a laundry basket layered with pillows when he was a newborn!! I mean he is only 29, not like it was a million years ago lol!
Just thought I would share some stories that made me laugh! Anyone else have something to share!?!?

Dr. Hughes is a very caring doctor. I have been going to her for years. Her staff is always very helpful. I love her.
Our experience w/ Dr. Hughes was excellent! We came to her with a very difficult problem w/ a long-term history (around 10 years) from a few other doctors. Our previous diagnosis and treatment caused a problem that could have been life-threatening. After one year of perseverance including a surgery, some critical thinking on the part of Dr. Hughes, and a change of treatment, we are back on track. We are very thankful for Dr. Hughes' willingness to enter into our problem, for her persistence in seeking after the right solution for us, and for her high level of expertise and knowledge. Thank you!!!
I will tell you from experience of visiting several obgyns, if you are having some kind of problems, each one will tell you something different. I was diagnosed with endometriosis about 5 years ago. At first I was THRILLED with my doctor because I finally found out what was wrong with me. He performed an excellent surgery. However, that was about it. His follow up was very poor. He told me I would need another surgery about every 5 years. That's because he's primarily a surgeon. Next I went to another doctor on the recommendation of a friend who is a nurse. Well after I got there, it because clear his main focus is on pregnancy and delivery. He told me that patients with endometriosis should have only one surgery in their life and that's it. At first I was a little weary of Dr. Hughes as she questioned a few things I didn't think she should have (I still disagree with her on these areas) but I was relieved to hear she didn't want to do another surgery on me just yet without trying some other options first and see if they would help. She has always been very patient with my concerns and made sure I have felt comfortable. I have had to try several different forms of birth control and we still haven't found the one that is right for me yet. But my endometriosis symptoms have greatly subsided under her care. She has been willing to adapt every time. She knew what my best options were for the bad side effects I was having and sets up a plan of action in the event whatever I was trying didn't work out. She always takes the time to answer all of my questions and when I have a concern, she explains the pros and cons. She's not perfect, no doctor is, but she has helped me with what I've asked for help with. I have always had to wait a while, but that doesn't really bother me. A good doctor is worth the wait
I gave her a four on promptness but, this is only because she spends quality time with her patients; and, this is something I appreciate. I love her and her staff!
Worst experience in a doctor's office ever.
This doctor is wonderful! Warm and caring..
Dr. Hughes is a fantastic doctor. I began seeing her a the beginning of my pregnancy and being an older mom, (39) and overweight, I had a great deal of concerns. Dr. Hughes always takes time with me. She is extremely thorough. She is genuinely caring of her patients. The way times can be an issue because Dr. Hughes is a one doctor private practice, every minute I ever waited for her was well worth it. I have recommended Dr. Hughes to other women and will continue to do so and most importantly, Dr.Hughes will continue to be my Ob/Gyn unless she stops practicing or I move away and I don't see either happening any time soon!
The best decision I made during my second pregnancy was switching to Dr. Hughes! From the moment I called and made an appointment, and spoke with May, I knew I was in for a pleasant experience. The entire staff spoke very highly of her and I, too, have nothing but great things to say about her. She spent her time with me during appointments, made sure I never left with any questions, and made my 2nd cesarean a breeze. Now, 6 weeks pp, I went back for a follow up and to get my birth control implant. She explained everything to a T and it was exactly what she said it was going to be. No surprises!! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an honest and straight forward doctor and staff!!
When I first moved to this area, I was very stressed out and uncomfortable about having to find a new ob/gyn. I am SO glad that I found Dr. Hughes. Her entire staff is always very welcoming, friendly, and are always able to accommodate patients' needs. Dr. Hughes is wonderful. She is very calm and informative, and no matter what my issues are, she is always happy to answer any crazy question I can come up with. I have been a patient of Dr. Hughes for over a year now, and in this time she has not only treated me for routine annual visits, but she has carefully monitored my ovarian cysts, and performed a successful vulvectomy surgery on me. The surgery was a breeze, Dr. Hughes spent time before-hand to prepare me for it, she had me in and out within hours on the day of the surgery, and during the weeks of recovery after my surgery she saw me very frequently; bi-weekly for follow-ups, and she also accommodated me any other time I wanted to go in for my own concerns. Best doc and office staff ever!
I went into the hospital not expecting to deliver but Dr Hughes checked my cervix the next morning and discovered that I was 6cm dialated so she bust my water bag. She made my delivery very comfortable she also checked to make sure there was not left inside before she stitched me up.( something my previous doctor didn't do) she was very informative and farming I would reccomend her to any one there should be many more doctors like her...(she's the best)
Made first time experience miserable, and very pushy.
I had a good experience with Dr. Hughes she's the best gynecologist I have been too and that I will only see she takes the time with you she's caring she answers all your questions and she explains everything so well she's always there for deliveries not like some other doctors that tell you they will deliver your baby and at the time some other doctors that you know nothing of ends up delivering your baby I would highly recommend Dr. Hughes to anybody she's the best and she has the heart every doctor should have.
She is amazing! I was able to get an appointment with days of calling, not weeks! Her staff returned calls, referred to me by name, was extremely helpful and polite. I felt as though I was the only one in the room, and so did everyone else.I waited just a few minutes before the Dr came in, at which point she spoke to me for 45 minutes! She resolved problems and answered questions that I could not get an answer to for over 8 months with my last OBGYN. In our first meeting she scheduled procedures that I was unable to have done over an 8 month period with my last Doctor, and two weeks after our first meeting I have all the answers I need, I know what has to be done next and thanks to her and her excellent staff I have appointments within the next few weeks to have them all done.She was a God send for my Husband and I, just when I thought I would have to suffer in silence and go on with questions, she showed me that there are still Doctors who truly care about their patients, not the size of their practice!
It is very difficult to find physicians like Dr. Hughes. As an RN who has 32 years of clinical practice in critical care nursing, I have worked with physicians who are leaders in their chosen fields as well as physicians that I wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy. I have been a patient of Dr. Hughes for 2 years and have been totally satisfied with who she is as a person,physician, and the quality of care she provides. Recently, I recommended her to my manager (also an RN) who very satisfied with the quality of care she received. While people have a right to voice their opinions, any rating short of excellent for this physician is unacceptable.
She cover all area's that are important and goes out of her way to figure out promblems that other doctor's just ignore
I had a great experience with Dr. Hughes at her Humble TX location. Today was my first visit, and I have gone to a couple of OB/GYN's over the last several years trying to find one that will take the time to listen in full detail of what your concerns are, and who will sit and elaborate on all options and explain why she recommends the options. She was educated me on some health issues that I have had for sometime now. Her staff was very friendly and professional, office was nice and clean! The whole office made me feel VERY COMFORTABLE. I would recommend Dr. Hughes to all my family and friends... as a matter of fact I have shared my experience with her with several already!!
Dr. Hughes and her staff are so unconcern and inconsiderate. That office is the only office that I know that will make you pay to fill out FMLA forms. She scheduled a very important medical procedure and the day of an appointment she cancels the entire procedure. She's very uncaring. I will not recommend this doctor to anyone. Her staff is very unfriendly and the scheduling for an appointment is a month away.
Dr. Hughes is a fantastic doctor. She always takes time to answer my questions and to put me at ease. In my pregnancy, she even returned my call on the weekend and in the evening when I was having a problem. At most doctors you are just a patient with an appointment, at Dr. Hughes' office, you are a person with needs and treated like family. I would highly recommend Dr. Hughes and her staff for anyone wanting top quality care with a caring spirit!~
Awesome Doctor! and Staff. Very friendly and professional. Dr Hughes is a breath of fresh air. I wish there were more doctors like her. Most doctors are in such a rush. She took the time to talk to me and explain what was going on and next steps I needed to take. Also, I was set up on a payment plan, which really helped me during this tough time. Most offices won't even let you talk to the nurse if you owe a balance. Not Dr Hughes's office! Thank you and I will be back. I'll send some referrals your way!

Good Friday Appeal sets another record as Victorians show big heart for the kids
- From: Herald Sun
- April 20, 2014
THANKS Victoria — you've dug deeper than ever before to raise a record-breaking pool of cash to help the state's sickest kids.
City-slickers and people in tiny towns alike proved they have enormous community spirit, pulling together $16,846,396 from their pockets for the Royal Children's Hospital.
Tin rattlers across Geelong braved the rain on Good Friday to help the town raise $540,463 from individual donors and businesses — up $100,000 on last year's efforts — the most of any regional area.
From running races to playing "cow poo lotto", to auctioning off pumpkins, there wasn't much generous givers wouldn't have a go at for the cause close to so many people's hearts.
It didn't seem to matter much if the streets of some towns were bare, like in Lascelles in the state's northwest where volunteers still somehow collected more than $1000 from a population of just 114.
Kate and Max Nunn headed up an auction in Berriwillock, where $25,000 was raised from the 352 locals and some blow-ins who travelled in by bus in from nearby towns for one of the Mallee's biggest nights on the calendar.
Shepparton locals beat their sister city counterparts by about $7000 in a friendly fundraising competition against Mooroopna, bringing in more than $47,000.
Other regional cities, including Wangaratta, Ballarat, Echuca and Bendigo, were again top fundraisers, while much smaller Ocean Grove made it into the top 15 regional contributors again thanks to locals and the thousands of visitors to the beach village for Easter.
Though not much in comparison, the $10 raised by the people of Barmah, on the Murray River, promises good change for the hospital too.
Every bit counted towards to the grand total, as thousands of CFA collectors around the state raised a record $1.63 million, which mainly amounted from spare coins.
More than 60,000 people flooded the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre on Friday for a Kids Day Out and concert, and hundreds of volunteers and celebrities were busy answering calls in the Appeal's telethon room.
Appeal Executive Director Deborah Hallmark called the final tally an "incredible result for the kids".
"Victorians and Australians are rightly very proud of The Royal Children's Hospital, and the
remarkable work it does and this is reflected in their continued generosity to the Appeal," Ms Hallmark said.
"Many tens of thousands of people have again come together on Good Friday to deliver this wonderful result."
The Appeal has raised more than $274 million for the Royal Children's Hospital since it began in 1931.

Received Xpro Chrome!1 1
Hmm, on first look, it is different from all other Lomography films. The design of the film's label is different and looks plain. It says C41 or E6 processing. My E6 lab is quite strict and they might not accept slide films without clear labelling.
The plastic cannister is opaque with grey cap vs all black of the other 35mm Lomography films. And it is made in USA! Maybe this is manufactured by Kodak as the cannister is typical of Kodak films. :)
Anyways, I will try to shoot one roll this week if the weather permits! It's been raining cats and dogs these few weeks!

Hearing postponed for Kanzius researcher
A pretrial hearing has been postponed in the criminal case against the lead researcher for the Kanzius project.
Pretrial motions were scheduled to be heard Wednesday in Harris County, Texas, District Court for Steven Curley, M.D. Curley, 57, is charged with tracking his ex-wife with a computer program, a felony in Texas.
Those motions are now scheduled for April 15. A court employee did not know why the hearing was postponed.
Curley, who lives in Houston, was charged in 2013 with unlawful interception of electronic communication, the Houston Chronicle reported. Authorities allege in court documents that Curley and another man installed a computer program on Curley's ex-wife's computer in November 2011.
Curley is free on $10,000 bond. He is working on the Kanzius project at the Baylor College of Medicine after leaving M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in December.
Curley has said the allegations are false.

Is America exceptional?
The Daily Circuit live chat
Kerri was by Clifford D. May. President of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a policy institute focusing on terrorism and political Islam and Scott Shane of the New York Times.
The conversation was inspired by a recent op-ed Scott Shane wrote that American exceptionalism is opiate that keeps politicians from telling the truth and voters from hearing the truth.
Do you think that we demand that our politicians deliver a portrait of exceptionalism that we can't live up to? And how much "truth" are we willing to swallow?
Or is America - indeed - special above all others?
I'm a Scandinavian transplant in Minnesota.
Living here feels very insular, news from the outside don't make it here so it's easy to convince American voters that their country is exceptional in domestic issues. I would not live right now would it not be for excellent healthcare here, for example, but my now pre-existing condition may make it necessary for me to move abroad to more consistent healthcare to survive in the long run. The American Dream is alive but the poverty I see around me is striking as well. The one area where I find the US exceptional to other countries I have lived in is in the P.C. language, actually, which interestingly reflects a sensitivity to other cultures (even if those cultures are not understood very well).
My wife was a Vietnamese refugee.
On our wall right now is a page long statement she wrote about how great America is, and why her family left a comfortable life in a model european social democracy after they were rescued from Asia.
She too is afraid that America is in decline as government does more and more, crushing the American spirit. She always notes that it is immigrants who see and appreciate how different and great America is.
Kerri epitomizes the opposite view, sadly.
Somebody wanna get Noam Chompsky or the ghost of Howard Zinn on @DailyCircuit this a.m.?by Jay Boller via twitter 10/29/2012 2:45:55 PM
@DailyCircuit The United States has not been exceptional for almost 30 years. We have the power to improve, but we're currently way behind.by RedDeadBarista via twitter 10/29/2012 2:45:59 PM
People like Cliff May are dangerous when their voices are allowed to guide the conversation and political policy making. I also want to inject the concept that if America is indeed exceptional, then we should start treating the 47% as exceptional. Right now the 1% is getting exceptional treatment at the expense of everyone else. By the way, I'm not dissing democracy...I just wish it worked better for, of and by the people.
By forming a comparison between a journalistic and a political definition of exceptionalism, you have misaligned the discussion. You have people talking past each other. My question to Mr May: "Why do you believe that the British electorate made a conscious decision to vote Churchill out, to reject Britain's role as an "exceptional" country, and to become what you have identified as a "welfare state?"
I think that this idea of exceptionalism still holds true insofar as the diversity of our people that makes us special in the world. However, I feel that this aspect of our exceptionalism is drowned out by the more conservative and reactionary definition...the same people that promote English only laws and would hope to deport the Dreamers.
Not what exceptionalism means in the mind of most people?
In the Washington bubble in which Mr. May lives, maybe.
But we see the concept consistently used as a rhetorical weapon in politics. Heaven forbid that a politician suggest we learn something about healthcare from the French or educating our children from the Finns.
While it is true that the average American is not a proponent of empire our government creates and executes policy. Very often they behave in THEIR best 'interests' which may be contrary to the average Americans. America does NOT have a right to lead (read: dictate) to any other country.
Cliff May believes in torture. What would he know about "American Exceptionalism"?
America IS exceptional! Why do I think so? I lived in the Middle East (UAE) and had to stand in a women's only line at the bank. I gave birth to my daughter in England - an awful experience & made the birth of my son at United Hospital seem like a day at The Ritz. I've backpacked to 30 countries and there is so much natural beauty in our 50 states... Exceptional doesn't have to mean arrogance. If you want to change something, improve something, create something, you have the freedom to pursue those opportunities - even within the constraints of our flawed systems. Look at the flag and dare to dream!
@DailyCircuit Look at the statistics, we're exceptional in military expenditures, and in numbers of incarcerated citizens. We fail all else.by RedDeadBarista via twitter 10/29/2012 2:53:56 PM
Somebody wanna get Noam Chompsky or the ghost of Howard Zinn on @DailyCircuit this a.m.?by Jay Boller via twitter 10/29/2012 2:53:59 PM
When I think of exceptional people, they do great things, not talk about how exceptional they are. An exceptional country invests in its citizens, from safety net programs and schools, and provides OPPORTUNITY for its citizens to grow and prosper, locally and globally. Instead we've seen our educational system falter and little opportunity for those who need it most. The gap in wealth in this country is pretty deplorable; how is that a model for the rest of the world?!
I think the critical issue is not whether we were once exceptional but whether we still are. We have folks in this country desperate to retain their own rights but unwilling to grant the same rights to fellow citizens. We live in a deeply unequal country that is becoming more and more divided in terms of wealth and class. I think our founding ideals have the potential to be renewed but we can not do it with someone in the office of the Presidency who forsakes 47 percent of Americans. And we can't do it when almost 50 percent of American exhibit a racial bias against African Americans. This is not living out the principle " we believe all men are created equal."
funny how many MPR listeners are opposed to having heard from someone who is aligned with Romney. Now you know what it is like forcing myself to listen to NPR on a daily basis, with its typical insular leftist views. Kudos to Kerri for including May. If MPR were to do that more often I might actually donate to the station
Having Cliff involved in this discussion threw the discussion off course. I don't mean we shouldn't have both sides of an issue represented, but Cliff's angle on exceptionalism is really not the norm, and is on another level.
I believe most Americans see this issue in very straight-forward terms, and understand "exceptional" as "better than." This perpetuates because we have been told about our superiority (yes, that's how we see it) our whole lives, and because we are relatively uninformed about the rest of the world. I wouldn't call it arrogance, but it is ignorance, and this is expressed through a defensiveness and reluctance to open our minds to the idea that other countries may do some things better than we do. A perfect example of this is our attitudes toward healthcare and conviction that we have the best system in the world, but statistics do not support our beliefs. Our convictions prevent us from moving forward to a truly exceptional way of life.
@Elizabeth Opposition to the current healthcare "reform" is not a function of insular thinking. It is a function of understanding that ObamaCare will do little to nothing to improve cost, quality and access at the same time. To your point, there are many international examples of how to pull off comprehensive reforms and improve quality. And many ideas on how to integrate those best practices with a market/individual-based approach that fits within the political culture of the US. But Obama instead chose to push top-down "solutions" that are untested, expensive and centrally controlled. Not the right path (and btw, I say this having worked recently for several years on international health system reform for a global consulting firm). Yes we need to reform healthcare. But the analogy that comes to mind is Detroit spending 3 decades aping Japan's use of production line automation without ever understanding what the overall process and system needs to look like. Wasted billions of $ and fell further behind. That's what ObamaCare is going to do to us
@poebel My problem with May's comments isn't that his is a Romney supporter or that he is a conservative, but that he really didn't speak to the actual question (see above) and denied that "exceptional" meant "superior" in most Americans' minds. The question above asks if we feel America is special above all others, and he refused to engage on the topic in the terms that Kerri presented: How about our own attitudes here at home about ourselves, our systems, our laws, etc., and how we feel we compare to the rest of the world? He was hijacked the conversation and into an ideological monologue. I was hoping for more of a discussion of how our view of ourselves and our country informs our policies, our interactions with other countries, and so many other actions.
The "norm" definition of exceptionalism is wrong, as can be historically demonstrated ad nauseum. Which is pretty much what May said. I would challenge anyone on the other side to point us to the philosophical underpinnings of the view that "exceptionalists" are talking about health care policy, poverty or any of these other issues. Kerri seemed surprised that the conversation veered at one point so heavily to foreign policy, which just demonstrates she doesn't get it.

The Times of Israel:
Well, it's just ridiculous, isn't it? Demeaning. Risible. Absurd.
Two grown men squaring off against each other as though they were boxers. Preening, pulling themselves up to full height, strutting back and forth, wagging fingers.
There were moments when I thought one of them was going to take a swing at the other.
And they don't just do it once. Or twice. But three times! And their deputies get in on the act too.
What kind of a way is that to decide the leadership of the free world?
The US presidency is about a carefully conceived ideology, a nuanced world view. It's about vision. About prioritizing. It's about building a smart, realistic, competent staff, and a hierarchy that can gradually, painstakingly implement a vast, complex agenda, and switch mode instantly, smoothly to manage crises.
The measure of a president, or a would-be president, does not lie in his capacity to rehearse a sound-bite, or to remember the name of Mr. Joe and Mrs. Joanna Public when they've stammered their way through a question. "Ooh, I've forgotten what I was going to ask! Hang on a minute; I've got it written down…"

'Auto Restoration', also known as automotive restoration, is a process of repairing a car. In auto restoration, an antique car is generally repaired and restored to its original condition as far as possible.

Watch Dave Matthews Band's new tour warm up videos
As Dave Matthews Band prepares to hit the road for its annual summer road trip across the United States — which will visit the Marcus Amphitheater July 2 during Summerfest this year — the band is helping fans get in the live mood with the release of two new "Summer Tour Warm Up" videos, and the promise of more to come.
Featuring a look in at shows from last year's summer trek, the two videos represent the band's past and present. The first video — recorded live last May at The Woodlands, Texas — is a nine-minute romp through one of the band's biggest hits and a live staple, "Ants Marching," which anchored its 1994 major label debut, "Under the Table and Dreaming," but also dates back to the band's earliest days and is featured in its 1993 independent live debut, "Remember Two Things." The second video — from the next night in Dallas — is a new live favorite, "Rooftop," from its most recent studio album, 2012's "Away From the World." Watch both videos below. And, as the tour approaches, keep an eye on the band's YouTube channel for new live videos. »Read Full Blog Post

RANKED: Britney Spears secured the No. 1 spot on the Access Hollywood list of "Top 10 Stars of 2004" who have been covered by the syndicated show. Britney's tally (thanks to two marriages, a knee injury and, well, just being Britney): 119 stories. She was followed (in order) by: Beyonce, 102 stories; Donald Trump, 94; Michael Jackson, 84; Tom Cruise, 72; Jessica Simpson, 69; Paris Hilton, 63; Nicole Kidman, 62; Jennifer Lopez, 54 (though that can now be 55, given reports that her ex is suing her for firing him from her restaurant); and Whitney Houston, 52.
DISCUSSED: With Nicole Kidman bowing out of the movie version of the Broadway musical The Producers, the role of sexy secretary Ulla is said to have been offered to Uma Thurman, reports Variety. Kidman claimed her workload was too heavy to rehearse the songs and dances her role required. Shooting is scheduled to begin in February, with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick reprising their roles as crooked Broadway producers, and Will Ferrell added to the cast. Agents for Thurman, who recently finished a Get Shorty sequel titled Be Cool, did not confirm the offer.
ADJOURNED: The murder trial of actor Robert Blake went on a two-week hiatus, until Jan. 4, it was announced Tuesday, after Deputy District Attorney Shellie Samuels called to the stand restaurant owner Steve Restivo. Restivo testified that he never saw Blake return to retrieve his gun from his restaurant while the actor's wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, remained in the family car, as the actor stated in his alibi. Restivo did point out, however, that he was busy that night, and anyone could have slipped into the establishment without his knowledge.
PROMISED: New York's Daily News "Lowdown" columnist Lloyd Grove on Wednesday, in both his paper and on the Today show, vowed that he's permanently banning the "unremarkable" Paris Hilton, 23, from his column – unless, he insists, "she discovers a cure for cancer, wins the Nobel Prize or launches herself into outer space." So far, no comment from Hilton – for once.
SET: The 16th season of MTV's reality series The Real World will begin shooting 24 episodes early next year in Austin, Texas, and premiere in June, the music cable network said Wednesday. The current season of Real World was shot in Philadelphia. The previous season, which was shot in San Diego, was the highest-rated series on basic cable in 2004 in the 12-34 demographic, says the Hollywood Reporter.
HEARD: "A Holly Jolly Christmas," sung by Burl Ives, is the most-played holiday song this season, reports The New York Times, citing a Media Monitors count. From Nov. 26 to Dec. 16 on the radio airwaves, the Ives evergreen was followed, in order, by Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song," Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" and Bobby Helms's "Jingle Bell Rock." Alvin, of the Chipmunks, is said to be upset at not making the Top 5 – and at still not getting his Hula Hoop. Happy holidays.

Plea delayed for Erie woman charged in bank robberies
Two people charged with robbing several banks in early November are set to enter pleas in the cases.
Anthony J. Herrmann, 34, is scheduled to appear in Erie County Court this afternoon for a post-arraignment plea in two criminal cases covering four bank robberies he is accused of committing.
His alleged accomplice, 27-year-old Erin M. Anderson, appeared in court on Wednesday afternoon to enter a plea in three of the bank robberies. But her plea was postponed, and is expected to be rescheduled for later this week, after Erie County Judge William R. Cunningham asked for confirmation that her proposed plea had the consent of all of the victims.
Herrmann, whom police listed as homeless, is accused of robbing the ErieBank branch at West 10th and Peach streets and the First National Bank branch on East Grandview Boulevard on Nov. 8. He is also charged with robbing two Millcreek Township banks: the PNC Bank branch at Peach Street and West Gore Road on Nov. 9, and the Northwest Savings Bank branch at 850 Pittsburgh Ave. on Nov. 10.
Anderson, of Erie, was charged with robbing the two Millcreek Township banks, and with taking part in the robbery of the First National Bank branch.
Under the plea presented in court on Wednesday afternoon, Anderson would have pleaded guilty to a felony count of conspiracy to commit robbery in the First National Bank robbery. But the charge would have been consolidated to include the facts in the robberies of the two Millcreek banks, Erie County Assistant District Attorney Mark Richmond told Cunningham. The other charges in the cases would be withdrawn under the agreement, he said.
The maximum penalty Anderson would face under the plea is 20 years in prison and a $25,000 fine, Richmond said.
Cunningham asked Richmond and Anderson's lawyer, Garrett Taylor, the basis for the plea, then asked if all of the victims had signed off on the agreement. The plea was delayed while Richmond attempted to contact the assistant district attorney who had been involved in the Millcreek Township cases, and then the Millcreek police investigators. He asked Cunningham to reschedule the plea for later this week after returning to court and telling the judge that he was unable to contact anyone.

Breast self-exams save lives
Starting at age 20, breast self-examination (BSE) should be done once a month so you become familiar with the usual appearance and feel of your breasts. Familiarity makes it easier to notice any changes in the breast from one month to another. Early discovery of a change from what is "normal" is the main idea behind BSE.
If you menstruate, the best time to do BSE is two or three days after your period ends, when your breasts are least likely to be tender or swollen. If you no longer menstruate, pick a day, such as the first of each month, to remind yourself it is time to do BSE.
If you notice any change – a lump, discharge, dimpling or anything unusual – call your Gundersen primary care provider for advice and direction.
"I am a medical oncologist and know how critical it can be to catch cancer in its earliest stages. With a family history of breast cancer, I've always been very good about going in for mammograms and doing regular self-exams and when I found a lump, I had it checked out right away. Every day I'm thankful the cancer was found early. If I had put off that appointment for a couple more months, it could have been a much different story.
- Leah Dietrich, MD, Gundersen Health System medical oncologist
