Carlson, Robert H.
NEW YORK—Outside of clinical trials, observation is the current standard of care for patients with smoldering (asymptomatic) multiple myeloma. But that may change, as data accumulate showing that patients with high-risk disease often progress to multiple myeloma and that early intervention may stop that progression or even produce a cure.
A presentation here at the International Congress on Hematological Malignancies reviewed the current status of the existing guidelines from the International Myeloma Working Group, in place since 2010 (Leukemia 2010;24:1121-1127).
As Ola Landgren, PhD, Senior Investigator and Chief of the National Cancer Institute's Multiple Myeloma Section, explained, the guidelines call for use of baseline bone-marrow biopsy and skeletal survey, monitoring with repeat lab tests every two to three months, and then less frequent monitoring if disease becomes stable. But more is known now about risk groups than when the guidelines were written, he said, and two models of risk used today, from the Spanish "PETHEMA" group and the Mayo Clinic, both recognize low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups.
"The higher-risk smoldering myeloma groups in both models have an average time to development of multiple myeloma of less than two years, and at five years of follow-up 75 percent of patients had myeloma," Landgren said. "In my opinion those [high-risk] patients have a very early myeloma disease."
In a 2011 paper (Clin Cancer Re 2011;17; 1243-1252)—coauthored with Robert A. Kyle and S. Vincent Rajkumar—he wrote that "in the near future, it seems reasonable to believe that high-risk precursor patients will likely become candidates for early treatment strategies."
"It is obvious that there is a very short time course from diagnosis of high risk to actual onset. And now there is data from the first Phase III trial for smoldering myeloma, using dexamethasone and Revlimid versus observation, showing that progression-free and overall survival are significantly different between treatment and no treatment," Landgren said, citing an abstract from the 2011 American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting by Maria-Victoria Mateos et al (Abstract 991).
Among the 57 patients receiving treatment in that trial, 82 percent achieved at least a partial response. The hazard ratio for progression in the observation group was 5.67, compared with the treatment group. And with a median follow-up of 47 months from inclusion, the overall survival rate was 94 percent for the treatment group vs. 85% for observation.
Those data do have to be replicated, Landgren said, but they are part of the mounting evidence for treatment in high-risk cases.
Recent functional MRI imaging of bone marrow in patients with smoldering myeloma shows that the bone marrow in about one-third of patients looks very much like that of myeloma patients, and those patients have a much shorter time to develop myeloma, he added.
With the new drugs becoming standard in the myeloma field and more coming that are much less toxic, "we can envision a scenario where we could treat patients [with smoldering myeloma] and actually cure them, and also envision treating patients and controlling the disease very effectively, converting it to a chronic disease," Landgren said, in an interview after the meeting.
But there is theoretically a chance that treatment of smoldering myeloma could select for more aggressive, resistant cells. "For that reason we should not start treating patients until we have determined the right regimen," he said, noting that comprehensive treatment will require new diagnostics.
In a recent trial he and colleagues conducted, most patients had at least a 50 percent reduction in clones after therapy, and many had a 75 percent reduction, and no detectable M-spikes.
In the near future, close to 100 percent of patients may have no detectable M-protein after therapy, he said. "The problem is that there could be evidence of cells anyway, so we need other tools to look for minimal residual disease, to really make sure there is no residual disease, or that if there is, to control it to make sure it doesn't progress."
Patients may have a complete response with no detectable M-spikes, "but you can still find residual cells with the more sensitive technologies."
Landgren said he recalled testing five million cells from one patient after therapy looking for minimal residual disease, and finding 17 clones—"That was very annoying."
In an article now online ahead of print in Leukemia & Lymphoma, he and Jens Hillengass review the use of novel imaging techniques in monoclonal plasma cell disorders, including "early myeloma." One promising technology, they note, is molecular imaging of bone marrow to diagnose focal bone marrow infiltration in smoldering myeloma (doi:10.3109/10428194.2012.740559).
Also of note, Landgren said, is a new test to detect minimal residual disease using polymerase chain reaction to amplify Ig heavy chain VDJ genes, a marker for cells in the myeloma clone.
Landgren has two trials of the carfilzomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone regimen ongoing at the NIH—one for newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma, and the other using the same regimen for high-risk patients with smoldering myeloma.
He emphasized, though, that myeloma is clearly not just one disease, but rather probably 10 or more different diseases molecularly, and so more than one regimen is going to be necessary.

Catlins River Festival announces Ash Grunwald added to line-up
Catlins River Festival is happy to announce Ash Grunwald will be joining the likes of The Nudge, Organikismness and Mountaineater at the Catlins River Festival in the beautiful Owaka Valley.
After blistering live sets on the festival circuit throughout Australia, Japan, Canada, America, Europe and the UK, critics and fans are raving about his unique blend of roots, blues, beats and a whole lotta groove, which have been grooving for more than a decade.
Nominated five times for Australia's ARIA Awards, and a swag of award wins including MBAS Blues Performer of the Year 2003 and the AIR Best Independent Blues and Roots Album, and in 2009, taking out a prestigious APRA songwriting award for Blues & Roots Song of the Year.
His album of 2010, Hot Mama Vibes, was nominated for Best Blues & Roots album by both the Australian Record Industry Association and Australian Independent Record Label Association, and after a sold out national Australian tour, he capped off 2010 supporting Jack Johnson's Australian tour. His first single from the album, 'Walking' received significant radio airplay, and was prominently featured in the Hollywood blockbuster, 'Limitless' starring Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper.
In the past two years since Hot Mama Vibes, Ash has made an exodus from the cold waters of Victoria to the sunnier shores of Northern NSW, he's taken on NZ for the first time playing at Kaikoura Roots & WOMAD NZ and now The Catlins River Festival. He been on sold out tours in Canada and played a myriad of Australian festivals for good measure.
We are very happy to have him in the deep south, and hope you can make it down.
The Catlins River Festival will be held over Easter (30 and 31 March 2013). It is a family friendly event with food grown on site, and a portion of the ticket sales going to the local plunket. Children aged 12 or under will be charged $1 per year of age.
There are limited tickets left for the very reasonable price of $75 (+bf) from http://www.cosmic.co.nz or online at http://www.cosmicticketing.co.nz. This includes 2 nights camping on-site (tent not included).
Catlins River Festival, 348 Catlins Valley Rd. Owaka.

I thoroughly enjoyed this article. I'm curious: did any of the hospitals the authors surveyed relay practices or information about the verification of feeding tube placement in neonates?
Authors Shellie Robin Simons and Lisa M. Abdallah respond: This article was geared only to adult patients with a nasogastric feeding tube. However, anecdotally, we found that most hospitals had one policy that covered adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. Additionally, hospitals tended to have one policy for enteral feeding, without differentiating between a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube and a nasogastric feeding tube.

A New Era for Brain Health
Our Vision
At Cerora, we believe that objective biosensors are the future of neurodiagnostics.
We are on a mission to make a major positive impact in brain health assessment globally with an initial focus on concussion and traumatic brain injury.
Cerora CEO, Adam Simon, discusses Cerora's novel approach to neurodiagnostics at Health Datapalooza 2015 in Washington, DC.
What We DoFor clinicians who are diagnosing concussions, Cerora's Borealis™ solution empowers better decisions with objective biosensor data, improves outcomes, and saves money.
Unlike subjective approaches, our solution uses more than one data source and a challenge paradigm to increase diagnostic accuracy in real-time.
Everyone knows someone who has had a concussion
Every year U.S. emergency rooms treat 135,000 sports-related traumatic brain injuries. Even more go undiagnosed or do not touch the U.S. healthcare system. No objective, portable, accurate and affordable diagnostic tool exists to assess brain function. The challenge is to identify those with a traumatic brain injury and empower clinicians during their medical management.
At Cerora, we are developing novel approaches to neurodiagnostics to aid in the identification and management of concussion/mild traumatic brain injury. We want to help patients safely return to activity after brain injury, regardless if that is learning in the classroom, playing sports, returning to duty, or their return to work.
Our Products
Cerora is developing cutting-edge brain health assessment technology
Designed and engineered by world experts in neurology and neuroscience, Cerora Borealis™ will change the paradigm of brain health assessments.

You mean that is always squarefree?
Or does have to be prime?
Hi everybody,
I think that:
Is factorized in prime numbers (according theorem of arithmetic), that are square free.
In other words its dinstict primes (if multiplied) give as result number N.
Is this correct?
I think this can be handled with Congruence of Clausen and von Staudt proof. Unfortunatelly i cannot find any link (with proof) into internet.
Thank you a lot

The latest brewing lassie imagery snuck out of North Korea, circa 2004.
An interesting article from Reuters today on one beer from North Korea, Taedonggang:
After a hard day of contributing to the cult of personality around Asia's only communist dynasty and vexing the world with a nuclear arms programme, there is no better way for a North Korean cadre to relax than with a cold beer. The impoverished state best known for its communist propaganda and saber rattling has quietly been brewing one of the highest-quality beers on the peninsula for several years. But due to the North's poor infrastructure, limited trading links and minimal skills in the capitalist world, its Taedonggang beer will likely remain a little known product.What a great photo. Grainy, four years old and shot with a lens that makes you wonder if they used a Reuter's hidden camera up someone's left nostril. But there are bigger questions at hand: does this beer now become the holy grail for the beer ticking fanatic? Is the pure-hearted dedicated ale spotter now called to pack in freedom to get that one last checkmark in the spiral-bound notebook? Otherwise one would not be honouring the unwavering creed of the Juche aspect of the beer ticker which is based upon the universal principle that the most important work of beer ticker is molding people ideologically as beer tickers and mobilizing them to beer ticking.
On a related note, is there a most glorious and beloved leader of beer tickery?

There are 4 rules to remember for transferring means and standard deviations
Where A and B are constants
If the mean of x is ux then the mean of Ax is Aux
If the mean of y is uy then the mean of y+B is uy+B
If the St dev of x is Qx then when all the values get increased by a factor of A to Ax then all the values get A times farther apart and the standard deviation gets A times larger. So the St dev of Ax is AQx
If the St dev of y is Qy then when all the values get increased to y+B the values just get bigger they don't get farther apart since they were all increased by the same amount and so the standard deviation doesn't change.
a) Find the probability that all are right handed. 1 minus this probability is the probability that not all are right handed (one or more are left handed)
b) First find the probability that when you choose 5 people
the first 3 are left handed (L) and the last 2 are right handed (R)
Use the AND rule for this. Think of it as choosing Left and Left and Left and Right and Right
Now there are many ways you can arrange the left and right handed people such as LRLLR or RLLLR. In fact there are 5C3 ways of 3 left handers from 5 people (this is the nCr function on your calculator)
So the total probably of getting 3 left handers is [the probability of picking LLLRR] multiplied by 5C3
c) Repeat what you did in b) but find the chance that there are exactly 4 left handers, and the chance there is exactly 5, you already know from b) that the chance that there are exactly 3
The chance that there are 3 or more is [chance there are exactly 3]+[chance there are exactly 4]+[chance there are exactly 5]
d) Hint: [chance there are less than 3] + [chance there are at least 3] = 1

Chili Con Queso
Thank you all for your recipes! I have tried the one from Homesick Texan but found the consistency a little thick for my taste (though I may have erred in the execution of it). In my experience, queso fundido is typically baked and served in a shallow dish. It comes with warm tortillas (not tortilla chips)...What I am talking about is definitely called Chili Con Queso (or as most people call it, just Queso). It's served in a bowl with tortilla chips to dip in it. I've had both and definitely prefer the Queso over the Fundido. (My Houstonian boyfriend has confirmed that all Texans should know the difference)
@Piano Thanks! That makes sense!
@Leebo LOL. Thanks for the pass :) Just to clarify, I didn't sing the praises of Berryhill's - only mentioned that the previous commenter might have been referring to their white queso. I will, however, eat Polvo's, Matt's El Rancho's or Maudie's queso before nuking up some Velveeta and Rotel.
Chili Con Queso
Also, not sure if this makes it any more specific but restaurants serve it with a side of chips as a starter. It's really to die for!
Chili Con Queso
Basically, what I am looking for is a bowl of melted cheese. A lot of places add jalapeno, ground beef, onions, cilantro, etc. I feel like the white queso (perhaps from Berryhill's?) is a good start. I want to know what cheeses to use and how to prepare the dip. I also am adamant about NOT using Velveeta (or keeping the amt. to a minimum) or Rotel. Hope this helps!
Top Chef Contestants - Least Favorite
As a resident of Oregon, I DIED tonight when he mispronounced the state name. You CANNOT love wine and still not know how to say Oregon. Best Pee-Not Nors ever. I really dislike Angelo (ummm..did he say he made love to his beef tonight?) and I wish he would've been the one to go, but it appears he also makes great tasting food. Sigh. Why do the d-bags always win this thing?!
Crazy Goat Cheeses
Ditto what @flamingo & hmw0029 said. But I LOVE to crumble goat cheese on a salad with a good lemon vinaigrette (add pine nuts and bacon).
Lettuce Wrap Recipe Request
We just made lettuce wraps the other night. My friend has the recipe for the sauce, but I believe it was just soy sauce, mirin, hoisin, sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch and red pepper flakes reduced down. Then add grated ginger and some sliced scallions. Very good and very spicy depending on how much red pepper flakes you use. We also made an accompanying peanut sauce - just roasted peanuts, peanut butter, hoisin, and peanut oil blended up in a blender or food processor. It's definitely chunky, but very good! Good luck!
Fuel City: The Best Taco in Texas?
It's been two years since I lived in Austin, but there was a taco cart (not sure if it's still there) at the corner of E Cesar Chavez and Pleasant Valley that had the best carnitas tacos ever. I am still trying to replicate them. They had fresh chopped onion and cilantro on them and the meat just melted in your mouth.
Salmon Ceviche
I made this last night. It was fantastic! I added one cubed avocado, too and I served it on flax and poppy seed chips. The only thing I might do differently next time is to cut the salmon into smaller cubes instead of slices, to make it easier to pick up with the chips. Thanks for the recipe!
What would you do with Manchego?
For dessert with honey and spicy toasted almonds. Die.
Grilled Pizza with Yellow Squash
Never mind, I found your blog ;)
Grilled Pizza with Yellow Squash
Yum! Where can I find the recipe?
What Are the Absolute Must-Visits in Portland, Oregon?
PokPok is a great restaurant for sure. You don't want to miss it. You can also try Foster Burger - by one of the owner's of Pok Pok. It was recently named one of the best 10 new burger places in the country by Bon Appetit, Also, I can say enough about Andina in the Pearl District. It's Peuvian and I've never had anything I didn't like there. Podnah's or Screen Door both offer good Southern food, but for really good BBQ I recommend Russell Street BBQ. Let's see - what else??? For shopping and an AMAZING lunch experience go to EVOE on Hawthorne - part of the awesome Pastaworks european-style market. Yum! You're gonna love it here!

West Virginians Who Matter: Cyrus Vance
Editor's Note: This is the 35th part of a 52-week series to run throughout 2014 on 52 West Virginians who made a difference and who matter. They are authors, entertainers, politicians, historical figures and others.
Cyrus Vance is an outstanding example of a West Virginian. He was born on March 27, 1917, in Clarksburg. He graduated from the Kent School and then from Yale University where he obtained a bachelor's degree. While at the Ivy League School, he played ice hockey and was a member of the famous Scroll and Key society. He later received a law degree from Yale University.
During World War II, Vance served on board the destroyer U.S.S. Hale. After the war, he practiced law with the firm of Simpson, Thacher and Bartlett in New York City.
Vance took a leave from his law firm to serve as general counsel to the Defense Department in Washington, D.C. During the John Kennedy Administration, Vance was appointed to the post of Secretary of the Army. One of his most infamous tasks during his tenure was to have to send U.S. soldiers to Mississippi to protect James Meredith when court-ordered integration of the University of Mississippi occurred in 1962.
Vance then served as Secretary of Defense under President Lyndon Johnson. He supported the war in Vietnam at first, but later changed his mind and urged the president to withdraw from the conflict. Vance resigned from his position because of his lack of support for the war. He stayed in Washington and became a professor at Georgetown University.
When President Jimmy Carter became president, Vance returned to the White House, where he served in the Carter Cabinet as Secretary of State. Under his leadership, economic ties were cemented with the Soviet Union. Vance also worked to get the Salt II arms limitation agreements signed and implemented. He was also instrumental in pushing for the return of the Canal Zone to Panama and helped get the Camp David Accord agreements signed with Israel and Egypt.
He resigned, however, over a dispute on Operation Claw Eagle, an attempt to rescue 53 American hostages being held in Iran. Vance thought the operation was far too risky.
Vance continued his work as an attorney. He was named special envoy to Croatia by the Secretary General of the United Nations. He later also served as special envoy for the United Nations to Bosnia.
His years of service brought Vance many awards, including being named the United States Military Academy's Sylvanus Thayer Award and the U.S. Senator John Heinz Award for greatest public service by an elected or appointed official. In fact, it has been said that Cyrus Vance was part of every important negotiation as a representative of his country for several decades.
Vance died at age 84 in 2002. He battled Alzheimer's disease in his last years. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Vance's mother's home, known as the Stealey-Goff-Vance House, is home to the Harrison County Historical Society and is on the National Registry of Historic Places. The Cyrus R. Vance Center for International Justice in New York City was created by the New York City Bar in his memory.

Ashton Kutcher Moving Out Due To Demi Moore's Substance Abuse?
Another bombshell is hitting the Ashton Kutcher-Demi Moore relationship: Life & Style is reporting that Ashton moved out of their home weeks ago due to Demi's substance abuse.
"Demi had been sober for a long time -- decades -- but recently it's gotten bad," a "family friend" tells the magazine. "Ashton loves her, but he can't stick around and watch her do this to herself."
The news comes after several tabloids began reporting that Ashton has been cheating on Demi with a handful of women, including one named Sara Leal. Star Magazine's cover features candid photos of the young woman chatting with Ashton, and claims several sources described her as a woman "looking for a rich guy" to "throw herself at."

text: Tickets Available Now For Noah's Flood (Noye's Fludde) Posted on 14 March 2013 by: LA Opera LA Opera artists will collaborate with more than 300 members of the greater Los Angeles community for two performances of Benjamin Britten's Noah's Flood (Noye's Fludde) this spring at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. Conducted by LA Opera Music Director James Conlon and presented as part of the Britten 100/LA celebration, the performances will take place at 7:30pm on Friday, April 19, and at 7:30pm on Saturday, April 20. Thanks to generous longtime support from the Dan Murphy Foundation, LA Opera is able to produce Noah's Flood and offer it free of charge as a special gift to the community. Advance tickets are required for admission; there will be a $1 per order handling fee and a four-ticket limit per household. Tickets are available now and can be reserved online at www.laopera.org or by phone at 213.972.8001. But hurry, they won't last long! Noah's Flood is presented as part of Britten 100/LA: A Celebration, a series of events taking place to honor the 100th anniversary of the birth of British composer Benjamin Britten (1913-1976). One of several Britten operas on Biblical subjects, Noah's Flood (Op. 59, 1958) is a colorful pageant where children play all the animal roles, parading two-by-two into the ark. Regarded as Britten's most lovable work, the opera is based on one of the famous medieval Chester mystery plays, dating back to the 15th century. Scored for a combination of both student orchestra musicians and a professional chamber ensemble, the opera features inspired and delightful musical innovations; for example, the raindrops are represented by the sound of a series of mugs of varying sizes slung on string and struck by wooden spoons. Bass-baritone Yohan Yi will perform the role of Noah and mezzo-soprano Ronnita Nicole Miller will be Mrs. Noah. Mr. Yi and Ms. Miller are former members of LA Opera's Domingo-Thornton Young Artist Program. Actor Jamieson K. Price will be heard as the Voice of God. The orchestra will include musicians from the LA Opera Orchestra performing alongside the Hamilton High School Academy of Music Orchestra and the Celebration Ringers of Lake Avenue Church in Pasadena. The performers will include teachers from LA Opera's Opera for Educators program and students from LA Opera' annual Opera Camp, as well as the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels Choir, the Beverly Vista Middle School Choir, students from the East LA Performing Arts Academy, the Holy Family Filipino Chorale and Children's Concert Chorus, the Mariachi Conservatory, Pueri Cantores San Gabriel Valley, the Sacred Heart School Choir and Schola Cantorum, and participants in LA Opera's Zarzuela Project. The stage director will be Eli Villanueva. The scenic designer is Carolina Angulo and the costume designer is Paula Higgins. The lighting designer is Tantris Hernandez. The sound designer is Jon Gottlieb and the prop designer is Melissa Ficociello. Noah's Flood is part of the LA Opera Off Grand initiative, dedicated to presenting a wide variety of artistic exploration throughout a broad geographical area. This production made possible by a generous grant from the Dan Murphy Foundation. Special production support also received from the Britten-Pears Foundation, the City of Los Angeles, Department of Cultural Affairs, and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph A. Saunders.

Recipe Time
Nutritional Information
1. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for high heat (you can hold your hand 1 to 2 in. above cooking grate only 1 to 2 seconds). Meanwhile, put shrimp in a 1-gal. resealable plastic bag and pour in marinade. Seal and marinate at room temperature 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Remove shrimp, reserving marinade. Thread shrimp onto 6 or 7 (10- to 14-in.) metal or bamboo skewers.
3. Arrange shrimp on grill and baste with marinade (dab some mint and shallot onto shrimp); close lid. Cook until shrimp are just beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn shrimp over, baste again, and close lid. Cook 1 to 2 minutes until browned but still moist in center (cut to check). Transfer shrimp to a platter, drizzle with lime juice, and garnish with mint sprigs.
Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.
Don't marinate for more than the recommended time or the rum and lime juice will "cook" the shrimp and ruin their texture.

We have news of some activity at today's meeting of the Republican National Committee at the Capitol Hill Club, part of a continuing effort to determine who will be the next RNC chair. For reasons unknown at this time, a decision was made to impose a media blackout. A brief press release from John Cardarelli of C-SPAN, who were covering the event, gives word:
FYI: RNC voted to close today's discussion with the candidates vying to be their new chairman. No cameras allowed, so C-SPAN will not be able to cover.
According to a source from C-SPAN, word came in at approximately 11:10 A.M. that the cable network would be restricted from covering the meeting. With Congress in session, the move by the RNC did not result in any programming being cut off. It merely means that C-SPAN will not be able to air their coverage of the session later today, as planned.
Today's activity is described thusly by PRNewswire/USNewswire:
The Republican National Committee (RNC) today announced that a RNC Special Meeting will take place on Wednesday, January 7, 2009. All potential candidates for RNC Chairman, Co-Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer have been invited to participate in a candidate forum, which will take place at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington, DC. During the meeting, candidates for each office will have an opportunity to deliver remarks and answer questions from Members of the RNC.

"No one likes to do it," said parent Andrea Daniels, who compares it to dating. "It's like buying a house," said Bea Prentice, director of the Early Childhood Center at Adat Shalom synagogue in West Los Angeles. "There are so many options to think about."
One could also liken it to a root canal: necessary, painful and potentially costly. But regardless of the analogy chosen, those involved agree that deciding where to send a child to elementary school is a complicated and angst-inducing process. And it's a decision that will have to be made soon, as most private school applications are due either this month or in January.
Daniels started thinking about the decision "the minute he was born," she said about her now 5-year-old son, Jonah. A Beverlywood resident, Daniels sent her son to Temple Isaiah in West Los Angeles for preschool. She assumed that once it was time for elementary school, she would send him to a secular private school, along with the synagogue's religious school.
After touring several private schools last year, Daniels reluctantly looked at her local public school, Castle Heights Elementary. There, she found "grass and gardens, a new art program, enthusiastic parents and teachers, a fabulous library and a computer lab," Daniels said. "It had everything the private schools talked about. And the financial benefits can't be ignored.... There was no reason not to go there."
Daniels, who has joined the school's parents group and knows many peers from Temple Isaiah who will be sending their children to Castle Heights in September, said that community is a large part of the public school's appeal.
"We've got our Temple Isaiah community and we'll have our Castle Heights community," she said. "It's kind of a retro way to rear a child these days -- go to your community school and ... to Hebrew school."
While Daniels was fortunate enough to favor her local school, many parents looking for public education find their neighborhood schools unsuitable. They must then navigate a confusing maze of available options, which include charter and magnet schools. Charter schools, which are exempted from certain state mandates, are bound by agreements with local or county school boards. Magnet schools generally have a particular focus, such as art or technology. Both types of schools may draw students from throughout the district.
In the Los Angeles Unified School District, priority points increase odds of getting into a school other than the one your child is assigned to, such as a magnet school. Points are given for various factors such as being enrolled in an overcrowded school or one with more than 70 percent minority enrollment, already being on a waiting list or having a sibling enrolled in the same school.
For other families, public school is not even a consideration. Debby and Rabin Soufer are still deciding where to send their son, Ari, next September. But there's no question for Rabin Soufer that it will be a Jewish day school.
"You need to make the roots grow the right way from the beginning," he said, adding that he would make whatever sacrifices were necessary.
While touring schools, the Soufers looked for clues about the character of the students.
"The children that your child will be around is as important as the school," Debby Soufer said.
The Soufers' choice is one that more Jewish parents are making than their parents did. According to the National Jewish Population Study for 2000-2001, 29 percent of American Jewish children between the ages of 6 and 17 were enrolled in a Jewish day school or yeshiva, whereas only 12 percent of those ages 35-44 reported having attended Jewish day school.
Demographer Pini Herman, who conducted the Los Angeles Jewish Population Survey in 1997, found that 21 percent of Jewish children in Los Angeles were attending Jewish day schools at that time. He believes that figure may have decreased due to growing economic stresses on the Jewish community. According Gil Graff, executive director of Bureau of Jewish Education in Los Angeles, there are more L.A.-area children enrolled in Jewish day schools today than in 1997, but a greater percentage of them are in high school, a trend that does not portend well for the future.
Encino parent Lori Marx-Rubiner is one of those parents who has chosen to take on the financial burden inherent in the $10,000 to $15,000 tab that comes with private school.
"We only have one child," she said. "I don't know how other families can do it."
When Marx-Rubiner looked at schools last year for her son, Zach, she knew she wanted a Jewish day school to, among other things, "keep weekends family-centered" by avoiding Sunday school. Marx-Rubiner made an extensive list of necessary criteria that included the academic success of graduates, state-of-the-art facilities and availability of enrichment programs.
Once she started looking at schools, however, a different set of requirements emerged.
"What became important was whether they were willing to transmit values with intent and whether they were my values," she said.
Marx-Rubiner, whose son attended preschool at Adat Ari El in North Hollywood, decided to stay with the synagogue's day school. "The single biggest factor was who Zach would become. Adat Ari El has the menchiest kids I've ever seen," she said, describing how a teenager they'd met weeks earlier sought them out at High Holiday services to say hello.
Psychologist and educator Wendy Mogel would say that all three of these families are on the right track when it comes to selecting a school. She advises attending a school play to observe how the parents and students comport themselves. She also recommendes looking at the children in the older grades.
"Their level of vitality or cool and their general spirit reveals important information about what you can expect your child to become," she wrote in a 2001 Jewish Journal column.
But perhaps Daniels puts it most succinctly: "You can spin the facts any way you want. Go with your gut."

The seventh-grade A team won handily, 22-3, over the young Vaqueros.
"Our defense played a huge role in the victory. We just did not allow very many shot attempts during the game," said S-TJH coach John Salinas.
Offensively, the Bobcats hit for 22 points but not a great showing.
"On offense we were sluggish all night. It seemed as though we were just going through the motions," Salinas said.
"We were coming off a great game against George West last week, and for some reason we were off on the offensive side of the game."
Matthew Nelson hit for eight points in the win. Julian Jimenez followed with seven markers. Storm Toelkin added three points while A.J. Arredondo and Cole Terry each provided two tallies.
The win gives the young Bobcats a 10-1 record for their season, and they stand 8-1 in district.
In the seventh-grade B game, the visitors captured an 18-9 win over the S-T boys.
"After taking an early lead, we could not make any more of our shots. We beat them the first time we played them, but this time around their shots went in," said Salinas.
Brenden Boales sank three points. Samson Tovar, Gabe Guajardo and Cade Conrad all contributed two.
The eighth-grade B boys ran into trouble against the Vaqueros. The visitors struck early and coasted to a 27-3 victory over the S-T boys. Brandon DeLeon scored the lone three points.
"We suited only five players, and everyone got lots of playing time. Despite the loss, our guys played hard," said coach Jimmy Trevino.

Ed Advocates Address Minority Males Struggling In School
By Monica Miller, WBGO News
Newark . March 14, 2013
Minority males are falling behind in school at an alarming rate according to new statistics. Some Newark educators and child advocates are coming together to talk about how to bridge the achievement gap.
It's easy to get mad at data according to Ross Danis from the Newark Trust for Education.
"…when in fact what that data should do is get all of us motivated to help young people overcome the odds."
Danis says some motivating factors are recent numbers from the National Center for Education Statistics. 12 percent of black male fourth-graders are proficient in reading, compared to 38 percent of their white counterparts.
"In our district in Newark, we know that if you're not proficient in language arts or math by eighth grade, you're not graduating high school."
He's hoping a forum with Newark public school students and teachers and members of the Eagle Academy Foundation which establishes single sex boy schools in inner cities can come up with ideas to close the achievement gap.
"By admitting that you need help is sometimes perceived as a sign of weakness in male culture."
He says teaching them in a safe and nurturing environment is a good place to start.

GM A.J. Smith has taken a lot of heat lately for losing his "golden touch" in evaluating talent. The criticism is deserved since, as Smith himself has said, the San Diego Chargers have done nothing with their five division titles since 2004.
They haven't even gotten into the postseason the last two years.
But while some fans believe Smith simply tries to outsmart his colleagues to feed his massive ego, he has had some notable finds. Guys like Legedu Naanee and Mike Tolbert were unknowns who went on to make plays in some pretty big spots for the Bolts. However, they are both ex-Chargers right now.
Are there any players on the current roster who could surprise this summer and beyond?
Norv Turner claims he's open to finding the next surprise in camp.
I've decided to exclude all the former Ravens, Saints and Broncos who have been brought in this offseason from the discussion. I don't think contributions from any of them would warrant "sleeper" status.

Last month, the Board of Trustees voted on and approved the addition of the 21st sport in CU's Division I athletics program. Campbell will be the sixth Big South Conference member to field the sport for the 2013 season, joining current members High Point, Liberty and Presbyterian, plus Coastal Carolina and Winthrop – both of which have announced 2013 starting dates.
"We are excited about the addition of women's lacrosse to our intercollegiate athletics program," said Dr. Dennis Bazemore, interim Director of Athletics and Vice President for Student Life. "This is another opportunity for Campbell to reach out and to recruit more outstanding young women to the University."
According to Dr. Bazemore, a head coach will be hired by September 1 in order to begin the recruiting process and to prepare for the program's initial varsity season in the spring of 2013.
Currently, 91 NCAA Division I schools field women's lacrosse teams, including four in North Carolina – Davidson, Duke, High Point and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Six North Carolina schools also participate at the Division II level – Belmont Abbey, Lees-McRae, Lenoir-Rhyne, Pfeiffer, Queens and St. Andrews.
In addition, 16 Division I members in South Carolina, Virginia and the District of Columbia will have women's lacrosse programs in 2013.
Sixty-three high schools in the state sponsor the sport, including 14 in neighboring Wake County.
Four full members must sponsor a sport for the Big South Conference to hold a championship in that sport, and five sponsoring member schools (where four of the five must be full members) must participate to receive Sasser Cup points in that sport from the league. Six teams are required for the Conference to be eligible for an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Championships. The Big South does not currently sponsor women's lacrosse.
In its inaugural season, High Point won the 2011 National Lacrosse Conference Championship on Sunday with a 13-12 overtime decision over Jacksonville on Sunday at Davidson, N.C.
In addition to HPU and JU, the National Lacrosse Conference current membership includes Davidson, Detroit Mercy, Howard, Liberty, Longwood and Presbyterian.
The NCAA has sponsored a Division I women's lacrosse championship since 1982. The University of Maryland won the 2010 national title, ending Northwestern University's five-year championship run.
CampbellUniversitywill re-join the Big South Conference as a full member on July 1, 2011 after its 17-year tenure in the Atlantic Sun Conference. CU was a charter member of the Big South from 1983-94 before joining the A-Sun. Campbell will also continue to compete in the Pioneer Football League, Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association and NCAA East Region (wrestling).

Clinch River 4wt Rod
I've been fishing a 4wt on the clinch now for over a year now and I really like it. I've been using a Redington CT 4wt in a 8'6" and a 9' model. Now before you all tell me how these rods are prone to brake rod tips off, I've experienced this myself on 3 instances. Lmao You would've thought I would have learned my lesson but I didn't. Now on the plus side their warranty department gave no fuss in replacing both rods. But Lo and behold my 9 footer had the tip break again. SHOCKER. Lol as bad luck as I've had with rod tips I will say I've caught plenty of fish on these redington CT and really haven't had any other complaints.
As far as throwing a 4wt I just like the feel and fast action. I can throw the micro dry flies and still cast a nymph rig. I can cast fairly well with it and you still have enough to land bigger fish. I just like the hook sets I can get with a 4wt. Idk it's just a personal preference. My friend had a coworker GIVE him a like new sage launch 5wt and orvis combo. While it being an older sage, still Ik the quality is very well. I just like a 4wt a little better. Idk.
Can anyone recommend a good quality fast action 4wt 9' rod that won't cause me to sell my truck to pay for it?? Any and all recommendations/ personal preferences will be greatly appreciated. So let's hear it.
Also btw, here's some pics from a trip on Tuesday of his week.
Funny you post this , two weeks ago I took my Orvis 5wt from its case started to rig up
Got to the tip top guide and realized in horror the top 4 inches were broken off, I have no idea how and freaked knowing our TU trip was coming up the next weekend! I fished tbat day with a cheap Cortland I keep for that very reason still lucked out with five fish, had to be karma cause that was a 15 dollar Wal-Mart rod. I called Orvis at 10:30 that night they told me where to send and said would be 4-6 weeks no charge even to send because rod was pre 2003. I had been thinking of adding a 4wt to the arsenal to balance out between the 2wt and 5 wt. Long story short ordered the TFO Lefty Kreh Pro series on Monday received on Wednesday, used on a variety of streams at Cataloochee and loved it, I have fished the Clinch twice this week and it rocked. I know someone who I have big respect for who said he uses a 4wt all the time on the Clinch and I know he nails big fish, I just did not know he was using a 4wt. Does it cast like my Winston of course not but it also costs a fraction of it and can be repaired for, $25 no questions asked! I look foward to continue using it in all types of water even when the Orvis comes back!
By the way nice fish no matter what you were using, great color!
Check out the RIVER'S EDGE 4/5 wt 2-piece graphite rods. I fish one with my dries that I have posted about on LRO several times (just search the forums). It runs in the $30-55 range if you can find them. The best dry fly rod I have ever thrown...
Bigsur, it sounds like you have my luck. I really don't even know how these rod tips break so easily on the redington CT's. I'm gonna look in to getting a higher quality rod. I've read a lot about TFO rods and have started to purchase one on a couple occasions. I've read some reviews about Mystic Rods and many many many more. But idk what I'll do. Keep shopping until I find one I fall in love with.
But thanks for the comments on the fish! Almost everything I've hooked into above 15" has had amazing color. Gotta love spring time bows.
I have fished with a tfo professional II 9ft 4wt on the clinch for the last couple of years and love it! However it has broke on me twice now, both times when alone in the smokies somehow handling it stupid. I have decided I need to take better care of it and have started using my 5wt for tailwaters. My thought is I have asked this rod to do too much, and punished it.
Seems we window shop the same places... I just bought a mystic inception 8wt and tomorrow is its maiden voyage. I'll try to remember to report back on how it does
I purchased a TFO professional series 4wt last year and love it. I do not have a designated reel for so I have to use a reel rigged with a 5wt line but it does not seem to effect it at all. It has become my go to rod.
I used to fish a scott a4 4wt LOTS on the ETN tailwaters. I really liked that rod. I had it paired with a Ross reel. Kinda wish I still had it.
You might also look at the Sage Response rod. I haven't cast it, but its mid price range and sage is quality
Check with LRO
I thought you had price restrictions in your query...?:biggrin:
My suggestions is to just give you a good infrastructure to work from and not so much brand specific.
Budget is a term that is used only on the way to the flyshop :rolleyes:, this is usually followed by her attorney saying, "With complete disrgard for my client's basic needs he continued to buy fishing equipment at an unjustifiable level":biggrin:
I have always enjoyed being resourceful in my fly fishing quest. However; not all of my ideas have worked so resourceful. Fly fishing is truly a sport that you really get what you pay for in most instances....There are some opportunities to skimp if you are wise and listen.
However; the most valuable resource is kind advice and a willing recipient. Those two-things will advance you faster and with more success than anything you can buy...
See you all on the river and be safe!

When the first song London thumakda from Kangana Ranaut's upcoming film Queen was released, it caught everyone's frenzy courtesy it's electrifying beats of dhol and quirky lyrics. Not only aam janta, but some peeps from B-town – including filmmaker Karan Johar – was impressed by the energy of the song. Then came the second song titled Badra bahar, and we found it a bit disappointing and repetitive. And now the makers of the film have released the third song O Gujariya and this time we are not disappointed at all. The song has some catchy tunes and has lyrics both in English and Hindi. The video shows glimpses of Rani's (played by Kangana) solo honeymoon in Paris and Amsterdam. Queen is an unusual story of a Delhi girl, Rani, who is all set to be married, but somehow ends up going for her honeymoon to Amsterdam and Paris all alone. Watch the O Gujariya song here and tell us if you like it.
Kangana Ranaut shows you how to party!

Fin sings for his dinner
If you're wondering what that phrase is that he keeps repeating at the end it is, "Wonder Pets, Wonder Pets, We're on our way. " I know. Hard to pick out, but that is really what he is saying. You can hear the actual song here. This is a long song and the part he is singing isn't until about 2:45 if you don't feel like listening to the whole song.

Look, It's Tavi in the New Wilco Music Video
She's apparently buddies with lead singer Jeff Tweedy's son.
Owing to a random train of events, Spencer Tweedy, the son of Wilco's lead singer, made a music video with Rookie's Tavi Gevinson for the title track of his dad's new album, The Whole Love. The video, which also stars Spencer's younger brother Sammy, shows the kids sliding around on wood floors in their socks, playing on a playground, and building pillow forts. You know, the kind of stuff kids do when they're not shooting magazine covers and making music videos.

Xterra South Africa
Grabouw, homeland of Western Cape
2nd, 2'18" behind winner Richard Murray
You should get into your car as Antoine and I did for the week leading in, or step into your Dre Beats, turn up Radioactive by Imagine Dragons and feel the mood. It was the theme song for the weekend's big dance. Played it often, played it loud. Though it's been mostly Ben Howard in between.
To conclude: I was running happy. Running tall. Delighted with my form starting the next four week's of racing.
It started like they all do, with desire and self questioning. More particularly with Mandoza as the sendoff track. Green capped team swimmers drew level within a minute, having started 5m behind our elite field of orange. Must be a sight from the chopper, morning light, glassy black water turned to froth in a forming echelon, mountainous surrounds.
That there morning light was blinding too, creating a treasure hunt for the first bouy due East. All round as pleasurable a swim as could be desired in the emptiest Eikehof dam ever after the wettest summer!? Go figure. Perhaps there is metaphor in that.
Lost 30" to Murray and the lead swimmers, which was disappointing and less than ideal. Pool form needs to translate better. Smoothed through T1, a rather large transition area with some 800 bikes, and started riding well. Apparently the Lite had 1300 in theirs
The course was marked 10days out, a next level production by Stillwater, as confirmed by warm showers, shuttle parking services and round attention to detail. The fun in that is not just wanting to ride to physical capacity, but to challenge oneself technically. I was loosing ground to Conrad Stoltz, and gaining nothing on Richard, but felt happy with both power and finesse, hitting the lines I had planned to.
It was an intense pleasure to finish the bike through the crowds. Even had a mini huddle up on the last hill going batshit crazy for apparent reason, and they must have walked a kilometer uphill to get there. Couldn't keep focus and cracked a smile rolling to the dismount line, it was just too deafening. The race has grown, matched by the crowd expansion. Thanks for the effort in being there.
Plenty fun that course, and got to ride the new 2013 Specialized Epic on it, which I'd received in the week. Major change is the SRAM 1×11 setup. Opted for the 34t front. Couldn't get comfortable with the position of the grip-shift so had Dylan switch to the trigger shifter on Saturday. Seems golden, just some big steps between gears which catch one out being used to more incremental shifts, but the high and low are crazy versatile.
Had a bet waged on the run split, between Antoine and I. The youngster schools me on every run we do. So even with the win well beyond reach, I had reason to shift along. Seemed midway I was gaining well on Stoltz, but the class act of Murray was gapping further away. Unfortunately my chase to Stoltz ended prematurely, being told 3km out that a course error made by Stoltz had sent him short. Perhaps useful not having to hustle on the beach sand to a viewing audience.
Not victorious but honestly pleased with my progress. On the up and up and really enjoyed being in the mix, especially on home trails.
Short week, with Saturday morning's race in the Philippines next. On plane now, after a manic 48 hours. It included the first house party of the new digs, and a hospital visit to my ice cream business partner.
He had round two of brain surgery this morning. Humbly I'll claim to remember the brief visit, always. Seeing my mate sit there, bloodied pillow, cables connected to the inside of his skull, looking into his eyes and seeing a lion heart of calm fragile bravery. I salute you Jacques. That's real racing mate, you're going to get there.

Remove Skin Tags
You can remove skin tags yourself if they are not too large, skin tags happen quite frequently the older you get, small pieces of skin that seemed to grow outward instead of in a flat area like a mole. There is a cell stalk that goes with these skin tags, and then the skin tag grows up an out of the skin rather than having the cells flat like a mole or a freckle. Also, most of the time, these are not considered cancerous, but instead, are considered elective procedures as far as having your doctor remove them.
The pigmented of skin tags can also vary, but because they're benign, noncancerous, they are usually not covered by your health insurance. This means it can be expensive to remove your skin tags, and there are several methods you can use your self.
If your skin tags are not too large, in other words, tiny little pieces of skin that is growing outward, there's a good chance you can use toenail clippers are fingernail clippers to remove them. You may or may not want to do this, it can be painful, but usually doesn't hurt much more than plucking your eyebrows. Make sure you sterilize the fingernail or toenail clippers first, and then reach clear down to the base of the cell stalk. In this way, you're taking out those mutated cells that cause the skin to grow out instead of flat. You may have a minimal bleeding, if you think that this is going to bleed much, see your physician before you remove them. Just discuss it with them, tell me like to remove them your self, and get their opinion.
Also take a look on the Internet, you'll find several different herbal preparations as well as chemical preparations they can allow you to remove your skin tags yourself. Again, remember that these are active cells in your body, and if you're not careful inspection can result. Also, some of these herbal preparations or chemical preparations can be very irritating to the surrounding skin. So careful application to only the cell stalk and tag instead of the surrounding area is going to be needed.
You can remove skin tags yourself, especially if you can catch them when they're tiny. A little clip with a pair of scissors, toenail clippers, or fingernail clippers can easily and quickly remove them. It is a tiny bit painful, but your choices are to pay for a preparation, or to pay your doctor. For larger skin tags, see your doctor before removing them, and then choose an elective or covered healthcare procedure to get those that are large, possibly golf ball sized removed properly, otherwise, you can have some real problems.

Other stars, friends and collaborators also played his music, bringing both cheers and tears to the 5,000-strong audience, which included the Beatles' original producer Sir George Martin.
Shankar tribute
The first part of the show was specially composed by Ravi Shankar, Harrison's musical guru in his Beatles days.
Shankar told the audience: "I strongly feel that George is here tonight.
"How can he not be here when all of us who loved him so much have assembled all together to sing for him and play music for him."
As the smell of lighted incense filled the air, the sound of the sitar played by Shankar's daughter Anoushka resonated around the auditorium - a sound reminiscent of many of Harrison's Beatles compositions.
Eric Clapton, the musical director for the night, kicked off the Beatles hits to a huge cheer with a rousing rendition of I Want To Tell You, before being joined on stage by Joe Cocker and Dhani Harrison for Here Comes The Sun.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers played Taxman, with Jools Holland on piano and Sam Brown supporting.
Fan Carlos Brano outside the Albert Hall Clapton had the crowd on its feet to a standing ovation with the words: "Ladies and gentlemen, Ringo Starr," before the former Beatle ran on stage to huge applause.
He saluted the crowd before singing Photograph, which he co-wrote with Harrison, as Clapton, Jeff Lynne and Dhani played guitar.
Later, Starr joined Sir Paul McCartney to play the Beatles' hit I Love You. Sir Paul then brought a massive cheer from the crowd with the opening strains of Harrison's love song, Something.
He was joined on guitar by Dhani and Clapton, with Starr on drums.
After another standing ovation Sir Paul then played piano and Clapton sang to While My Guitar Gently Weeps, before ending with a two-minute guitar solo.
Dhani on guitar then started off My Sweet Lord, sang by Sam Brown, with fans clapping and dancing along.
Sir Paul told the crowd: "Olivia just said with Dhani on stage it looks like we all got old and George stayed young."
Dhani told the audience: "I just want from the bottom of my heart to thank all the musicians, you are my dad's best friends, he loves you. God bless you all."
Fan Carlos Brano outside the Albert Hall
Fans in Hollywood paid their respects
Joe Brown, who played on some of Harrison's albums, played the ukulele as all the artists joined in with confetti swirling around them.
Brown said: "It's designed to send you home with a smile on your face and a little bit of love in your heart."
The mood was lightened during part of the show with two sketches from Harrison's Monty Python friends.
Michael Palin, wearing a checked shirt, was accompanied by a choir dressed as Canadian Mounties as he gave a rousing rendition of The Lumberjack Song, to laughter and applause.
Stars in the audience included director Tim Burton, actress Helena Bonham Carter, Annie Lennox and Bob Geldof.
Hundreds of ticketless fans milled outside the venue before the show. Tickets for the event sold out within an hour and ticket touts outside were exchanging £150 tickets for as much as £700.
Most of the world's press were kept away from the concert itself, reflecting the desires of a private man who hated the attentions of the media.
Money raised from the night is going to the charity Harrison founded in 1973, The Material World Charitable Foundation.

2A Ball Bridge
Sets: 2-3 Reps: 5 (each side) Tempo: 232 Rest: 60 Seconds
Lie back on a Swiss ball with your arms straight out to your sides and knees bent 90 degrees [1]. Keeping your hips elevated (in line with your body), step to one side and roll your torso in that direction until that side's shoulder is in line with your knee [2]. Hold for three seconds, and then return to the starting position. Now lower your hips to just an inch above the floor [3], and then extend them to return to the starting position again. Repeat on the opposite side. That's one rep.
