Full TitlePhase I Study of Anti-GD2 3F8 Antibody and Allogeneic Natural Killer Cells for High-Risk Neuroblastoma
The goal of this study is to see if it is safe and feasible to give chemotherapy (topotecan, cyclophosphamide, and vincristine), natural killer (NK) cells, and an antibody called 3F8 to patients with high-risk recurrent or persistent neuroblastoma.
The NK cells, a type of white blood cell, must come from a patient's relative who shares half of his or her HLA proteins, which are immune proteins important in transplantation. Studies have shown that NK cells from a donor can be given safely and can be helpful in treating some diseases. These NK cells are collected from the donor and purified.
NK cells can recognize and kill abnormal cells in the body and can work together with antibodies to kill target cells. The antibody 3F8 specifically recognizes a protein present on neuroblastoma cells. Researchers have already shown that the 3F8 antibody can be administered safely to neuroblastoma patients. They want to determine the effects of the combination of chemotherapy, NK cells, and 3F8 antibody on patients' cancers and bone marrow function, and how to maximize its benefits in treating cancer.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
- Patients must have a confirmed diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma that has persisted or progressed despite standard therapy.
- Patients must have a matched blood relative who can donate NK cells.
For more information about this study and to inquire about eligibility, please contact Dr. Shakeel Modak at 212-639-7623.

For more than two decades, the organizers of Mount Airy, N.C.'s annual Mayberry Days festival have wooed visitors "who long for the days when life was simple and the sheriff didn't carry a gun."
The sheriff in question -- Mount Airy native Andy Griffith, who played Mayberry lawman Andy Taylor in the beloved TV sitcom The Andy Griffith Show -- died in July at age 86. And, says civic booster Tanya Jones, "we get asked all the time whether we think interest will decline after his passing. The answer is an emphatic 'no.'"
RELATED: Spirit of Mayberry, and Andy Griffith, endures in Mount Airy
QUIZ:How well do you know Mayberry?
In fact, says Jones, executive director of Mount Airy's Surry Arts Council, tourism at Mayberry's alter ego is up sharply since the actor's death. About 10,400 people visited the Andy Griffith Museum in July, almost double the 5,300 who visited the same month a year earlier, and the town expects about 30,000 acolytes to show up for the Sept. 27-30 Mayberry Days. This year's event, featuring Mount Airy resident Betty Lynn (who played Barney's girlfriend Thelma Lou) as parade grand marshal, will include tributes to both Griffith and George Lindsey (Goober), who died in May.
Folks come to Mount Airy -- where the Mayberry tie-ins include haircuts at Floyd's City Barbershop and tours in a vintage Ford Galaxie 500 squad car -- "to see the town that was such a big influence on Griffith's life," says Jones.
Sustaining tourism and the mythology Griffith built around his hometown "sometimes means keeping the real world at bay, just as the show did," writes the Associated Press.
"The show aired during the tumultuous years of 1960 through 1968, but its scripts studiously avoided references to current events, serving instead as a refuge from headlines about the Vietnam War, civil rights clashes and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy," AP notes. "You won't learn about Griffith's politics at the museum named for him, and political and advocacy groups are prohibited from taking part in Mayberry Days, where guests are asked to avoid politics in their speeches."
"On that weekend, we're celebrating the anniversary of The Andy Griffith Show and Andy Griffith's legacy and life," says Jones. "And we're celebrating the whole atmosphere of Mayberry, the simpler time."

This week, we had the privilege of engaging with 39 leaders, thinkers, and doers from almost every country in the Western Hemisphere in the first regional International Visitors Leadership Program (IVLP) Advisory Council Conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The concept for this conference was a winning project of the Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF) worldwide competition. The alumni conference supported our strategic efforts to develop partnerships between the countries of the Americas and ensure that not just government officials, but civil society and everyday citizens, participate in the economic and social opportunities in the hemisphere.
Alumni of U.S. government exchange programs such as the IVLP play a crucial role in developing these partnerships by serving as a bridge of understanding between the United States and those in their networks of influence and communities of interest. At the same time, these alumni are able to connect in a thoughtful and substantive way with each other and with us in the United States about how our nations' partnerships should move forward.
In the last four days of the conference, the group of leaders exchanged experiences, analyzed key challenges affecting the region, and recommended paths and solutions to major regional issues. They plan to move forward with analysis and research that they will present to decision/policy makers, issue stakeholders, and the general public. The discussions, presentations, and future collaborations of these exchange alumni plan to focus on the themes of democracy and governance, economic opportunity and prosperity, education and empowerment, and environmental issues. Alumni contributions to this process of communication will guide our partnerships from the abstract to the concrete, and will keep our focus on assistance and cooperation that change people's lives for the better.
One of the most important outcomes of the conference was the creation of a regional advisory council named the IVLP Alumni Network of the Americas (IANA) and the launching of a digital platform to sustain communication and collaboration. IANA will work together to analyze common concerns and generate solutions, while bringing together other IVLP alumni and alumni association representatives, creating synergies with regional associations and local partners, and enlarging the think tank to include other U.S. government program alumni for the benefit of the region and the world.
This is the beginning of an exciting time for our partnership with program alumni and the region, and we are glad to have had the opportunity to be here in Buenos Aires with the group for its inception. We look forward to witnessing the important products and solutions that can contribute to our shared leadership of the hemisphere.
Sandra D. in Colombia writes:
It was a great experience for all of us. An excellent opportunity to begin working together on common problems for our Region, to learn from others and to share our ideals and knowledge. Thanks for all the people who made this possible!

As I Lay Dying's Nick Hipa: the 10 greatest metal guitarists of all time
As I Lay Dying's Nick Hipa knows a thing or two about metal guitar, and he more than proves it on the band's upcoming album Awakened, which is brimming with the San Diego shredder's gnashing riffs and cauterizing solos. (In fact, they even have a new song called Cauterized. Can you say "none more metal"?)
Asked to name the 10 greatest metal guitar players of all time, Hipa laid out his criteria: âTo me, a great metal guitarist â or any great guitarist â is somebody who has his own unique sound and style. They should have the technical ability to pull off whatever it is they can imagine or wherever their creativity takes them. If somebody can do all of that and write killer riffs and amazing songs, then thatâs somebody I want to listen to, and somebody who will inspire me."
Hipa stresses that while he reveres players such as Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix, they don't make his list, simply because "they're not metal," he says. "Eddie is obviously a guitar hero, and heâs easily one of my top five guitarists of all time, but Van Halen, to me, is more rock than metal. I think of metal in more of an extreme context. And some of the guys I'll name are pretty extreme."
On the following pages, Nick Hipa lists the 10 guitarists (well, he stretches the number somewhat) whom he feels burn the brightest. "Ranking people as 'the best' or 'the greatest of all time' is pretty difficult," he says. "Let's just say that these guys are my favorites. To me, they're the greatest."
Dimebag Darrell
Everything that I said great guitarists should have? That they should have the technical ability to go wherever their minds take them, a strong sense of songwriting, a unique voice, a vibe thatâs theirs and nobody elseâs â that's Dimebag Darrell. He had all of that and so much more.
"As far as being a metal guitarist goes, he was his own man and he made his own type of music. He did stuff that was so special. Nobody in the world sounded like him.â
Randy Rhoads
âRandy is probably my favorite overall guitar player of all time. He had such class â it was in everything he did. His playing was so smooth, and it was filled with so much melody that you could almost forget that you were listening to what people might term âheavy metal.â
âWhenever Randy played, the result was beautiful music. When I hear him, I think to myself, How could anybody not like this? His riffs were killer, and the solos are still absolutely unforgettable.â
James Hetfield
âHe might not fall under the strict category of âmetal guitarist,â but I have to give it up for him, purely for being the metal songwriter for the past however many decades.
âEvery Metallica album, from the early records right on through to the âBlack Album,â were very strong as far as creative riffs go. How did somebody come up with that many riffs for that many albums? And theyâre all awesome!
âBasically, heâs got the right hand that every guitar player wants. Listen to Master Of Puppets â this guy tracked those riffs on analog tape, and heâs perfect. The consistency of his playing, his precision, is remarkable. For as much as people put an emphasis on shredding, not a lot of guys can do what Hetfield does. Heâs one of my favorite guitarists, period.â
George Lynch
âI donât know if heâs totally metal, either, but I would have to say George Lynch is right up there. I kind of missed out on what he was doing when I was a kid, because I was into straight metal and wasnât into the whole hair metal thing, but for the past couple of years, Lynch has been a real influence on me.
âIâve seen him live a few times, and what I like about him is the fact that he sounds like himself and nobody else. You canât teach somebody how to do that, and you probably couldn't teach somebody to play like him. To me, heâs a little like Jeff Beck â he plays what heâs feeling, and what heâs feeling is very personal.
âItâs funny: I used to hate whammy bar stuff, but I kind of got into it and did more of it than I was planning to on the new record, and itâs because of guys like Lynch.â
Iron Maiden
âIâm going to say âMaiden guitaristsâ here, specially Dave Murray and Adrian Smith. I should put Steve Harris in there, too, because heâs responsible for writing so many of their songs.
âThe intensity and melodic quality of Maiden is kind of what our band tries to achieve. We want the driving energy and that total state of awesomeness, but still, itâs got to be about songs that stick in your head. Maiden have done it so well for so many years.â
Björn Gelotte, Jesper Strömblad - In Flames
âIn Flames are kind of like a more modern version of Maiden. They write great songs, great riffs, and theyâve got such solid vibrato. Björn and Jesper are amazing players.â
Mikael à kerfeldt - Opeth
âHe writes such a wide variety of music, and itâs all awesome. Heâll come up with one of the most beautiful acoustic guitar parts you ever heard, and then heâll follow it with one of the best straight-up death metal riffs ever. As far as leads go, his playing is so smooth and buttery.â
Peter Wichers - Soilwork
âSoilwork is one of my favorite Swedish metal bands. Theyâve got riffs, theyâre fast, theyâre melodic, and then youâve got Peterâs guitar playing. As a shredder, heâs extremely, extremely next level. An absolutely brilliant guitarist.â
WacÅaw "Vogg" KieÅtyka - Decapitated
âHeâs more of a death metal version of what Dimebag was. I got to see him play a few months ago, and he was so on point. It was very inspiring.â
Kurt Ballou - Converge
âMaybe theyâre considered so hardcore or experimental metal that they might not fit as âmetal,â but I feel that Kurtâs creativity and innovativeness is so high. Heâs doing stuff that is very unique and identifiable to the band.â

Homesearch (Housing waiting list)
|Online Contact
|Email: Homesearch
Tel: 023 8028 5234
We have revised the opening times of our telephone line in the Housing Needs Team. The times are:
|Monday - Thursday
|08:45 - 17:15
|08:45 - 16:45
Application forms are not sent by post. If you wish to apply to join the waiting list you will need to Download a copy of the Homesearch Housing waiting list application form [133kb] or collect a copy from one of our local offices.
Welcome to New Forest Homesearch which is the waiting list and allocation scheme for Council and Housing Association housing in the New Forest. New Forest District Council has recently approved an updated Homesearch allocation scheme and a new tenancy strategy.
The updated Homesearch policy gives the Council greater local control over who is eligible to appear on the housing waiting list. Key changes to the scheme include removing applicants who have no connection to the New Forest and removing those who are considered unsuitable to be a tenant due to anti-social behaviour. Changes to the Homesearch scheme are now being brought into effect.
The new tenancy strategy sets out the Council's approach to what type of tenancies are offered to housing applicants. New tenants will be offered a fixed-term tenancy (normally for a period of five years) rather than a lifetime tenancy, ensuring that the council can make best use of available housing stock by tackling under-occupation and by encouraging tenants to explore other housing options if they have the resources to do so.
Elderly and vulnerable people and existing tenants will retain their lifetime security of tenure.
Further information can be found by downloading a copy of the Tenancy Strategy here [64kb] and the Homesearch 2 Allocation Scheme [153kb]
If you have any questions about the new policies please email the Homesearch team at email@example.com
Below are a number of links that may be of use to you, please note however the Council do not recommend any service or website.

About the Author: John Morgan serves at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing.
I come from an airline family.
My parents both worked for Pan American World Airways, and so ever since I was a little kid, I have been fascinated by planes. When we would go to visit family in Europe for vacations, nothing was more exciting to me than getting on that 747. Sometimes I was allowed to visit the cockpit and ask the pilots what all the instruments were for. We lived near the airport, and by the age of ten I could identify any aircraft flying overhead by its tail colors. As I child I had always dreamed of seeing Air Force One flying overhead, but never had the chance.
In some ways that fascination with airplanes has stayed with me. So when I was asked to be the airport site officer for President Obama's visit to China, I jumped at the chance and look forward to seeing Air Force One land in Beijing for a two-day stop that will advance the relationship between the United States and China. The sweeping changes seen during my lifetime have been exciting, encouraging, and positive. I'll get my dream fulfilled to see Air Force One. But I am even more enthusiastic about how this visit will bolster a diplomatic relationship that can achieve great things in the years to come.
Follow the President's trip to Asia on WhiteHouse.gov.
Daniel K. in Connecticut writes:
This is a monumental event for us as it is for china. Seeing my President land Air Force One there impresses me so much more that Seeing GW in his jacket saying Mission Accomplised. I am a Regan Democrat, but as many of my peers voted for Barrack, and worked for my congressman John Larson from Conneticut. My wife is from Thailand, and her country Thailand loves Barrack and the fact that he has opened up dialouge even with Burma, Chavez and Cuba... The Burmese government is a brutal regime that must change dramatically to become a friend of the U. S. Good Luck President Obama in Asia, you are greatly revered there by all Asians...

Technology and innovation have changed the conditions for statecraft in the 21st century. In a 2009 speech in Marrakesh, Morocco, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced Civil Society 2.0, an initiative focused on assisting non-governmental and civil society organizations in using new digital tools and technologies to increase the reach and impact of their work. The TechCamp model is a hallmark of 21st century statecraft.
In May 2011, over 70 civil society organizations from Indonesia came together with leading technologists from around the world at the @america building for Kampung Tekno Jakarta, or "TechCamp: Jakarta." Civil society groups worked with both the private sector and top technologists to better understand how to utilize technology and maximize their capacity in the areas of climate change and disaster response.
"TechCamp: Jakarta" opened with an address from Ted Osius, Deputy Chief of Mission, Embassy Jakarta, followed by remarks from Walter North, USAID Mission Director. Next, Michael Jones, founder of Google Earth, gave an overview of the mapping system and discussed its benefits for disaster and climate change relief.
In addition to the civil society participants, trainers from Ushahidi, Crowdflower, Open Street Map, Frontline: SMS, InStedd, DigitalesporChile, and CrisisCommons participated in fast-paced training sessions on how to use technology for disaster relief and combating climate change. "Speed-geeking" allowed all participants to meet, speak with, and understand ways to apply these technologies directly to each civil society participants' specific work. The event also brought together several private sector partners, many of whom committed to donate resources and time following "TechCamp: Jakarta." Thanks to Microsoft, Cisco, Chartis, Google, Alcatel-Lucent, Intel, Novartis, and local telecom companies XL, Telkomsel and Indosat for their support and participation.
"TechCamp: Jakarta" was successful because of its interactive and collaborative design. Participants worked in small groups for hands-on training with facilitated discussions around disaster relief and climate change. Groups identified common challenges and worked with technologists and private sector partners to come up with thoughtful ways in which technology might solve local challenges.
For example, one participant plans to take the tools and private sector connections he made at TechCamp to continue his work towards eliminating illegal deforestation throughout Indonesia. The private sector is working with a few NGOs on increasing connectivity throughout the islands. And several participants are now working to expand Indonesia 129, a free service which provides emergency care and relief through SMS. (They are applying the Haiti 4636 approach in Indonesia).
Planning is underway for future TechCamps in Lithuania and Moldova. If you are interested in learning more about Civil Society 2.0, TechCamps or in hosting a future TechCamp please contact Katie Dowd or Noel Dickover.
T.H. in Thailand writes:
I have to write a paper for a cultural anthropology symposium in Mid-May. I decided to write about how technology has changed how people view the conflict in the Middle East. I'm not interested in discussing the complications and problems of the war just how technology has given immediate access to websites like yours that allows open communication between the general public and our government. So I guess my question is how do you think technology has changed communication regarding wars vs. how the war in say Vietnam was brought to the American people? I hope that was clear, I am not use to writing to government officials.

I always feel like I'm way under everyone else's dps in raids. I'm wondering if I'm doing alright for my gear, and what I could do to improve.
All I have right now is a target dummy log, I can get an actual raid log up next week.
Could I pm someone the links since I cannot post links until I post a couple times? (Sorry, I'm new to forum posting in general.)
PS: I was over the hit and expertise cap by just a bit before, I don't know why I'm under it now.

Clairefontaine Classic Large Top Spiralbound Notepad (5.75 x 8.25)
The Clairefontaine mill has been making paper since 1858 and stationery products since 1890. The company is best known for making the first school notebooks in France, and has become famous for their exceptional paper quality. Clairefontaine is currently the only European manufacturer making its own paper for its own products. This guarantees not only consistent quality, but also controls the environmental impact of the manufacturing process. All of Clairefontaine's Classic Notebooks and Notepads include 90 g acid-free white paper, laminated covers in assorted colors, and a smooth satin paper finish.

Paper Properties
Located in the Vosges region of France, Clairefontaine was established in 1863 on the site of a 16th century paper mill. The firm is noted for being the first school stationery manufacturer in France, and, to this day, European students from kindergarten through doctoral studies appreciate the fine quality of Clairefontaine's notebooks.
Clairefontaine is currently the only manufacturer making its own paper for its own products. This guarantees not only consistent quality, but also controls the environmental impact of the manufacturing process. Clairefontaine reduces its water consumption through advanced recycling of the water used in the production process. The water is returned to the River Meurthe cleaner than when it arrived at the Vosges mill. The water is so clean when it leaves the facility local people can fish, boat and swim downstream within sight of the mill.
Another point of interest: The ink of all Clairefontaine and Rhodia products have been changed to abide by the most stringent European environmental standards such as REACH and NF. They are now water based rather than petroleum or solvent based. They are non toxic and non irritating. While the colors remain the same, they are now made from vegetable oil pigments rather than mineral one. Those inks can be made from a variety of sources including soy-bean, corn and linseed oils.

In short: Out and back 10k, mostly flat, good for a PB. Large number of entrants so a little cramped at the start. In aid of help the aged so the slightly steep price was worth it!Date of review: December 1, 2012
In short: Have run for many years and it's a race I will continue to put in the diary - brilliantIn full: A surprising couple of organisational glitches this year but still one of the best 10ks around. Date of review: November 21, 2012
In short: Poor organisation at the start, too narrow at the finishIn full: I was looking forward to this to get a new PB - which I did so was pleased. However at the start they were saying on the tannoy to get into the right timing slow but the bands for this were too small, and it was very hard to get through the barriers to start. It needed a good 100m for each 5 minute time band. If these were then printed on the numbers and checked it would have improved the situation. I started at sub55 (finished in 52:30) and was overtaking people for at least 4km. The water station at 5km would have been better if on both sides of the road so it would have been less congested, the briefing notes said there would be nectar energy gels as well but I didn't see any. At the end after the sliproad the course narrowed to 1 lane with traffic in the left hand lane. When I came through (just under 1h from the gun) it was very busy with lots of jostling for position and no space for a sprint finish. A good course that has maybe got a bit too popular and they have allowed too many applicants. Date of review: November 21, 2012
In short: It's for PBs not scenery but they dropped a bomb this year on organisation In full: Love this race for its PB potential which I achieved spectacularly. It's not a scenic race in any way. You don't really see much of the abbey. The one gripe I have this year is tried to get into the area next to the town hall to meet a mate but to solve the baggage queues they extended the fencing too far and I gave up after walking for ages without ever getting near to entering the area. Marshals around here were useless and didnt seem to know what they were doing to say the least. I got my M size t-shirt so can't comment on this. I got in the starting area at the last minute and ended up in the sub 35 part. Worried, being a 38min runner that I would be in the way of slightly faster runners but I passed around 50 slower runners in the first 1k with a lot of weaving and can't remember anyone passing me all race. I ran 37:42. People be realistic how fast you are. They must get back to previous years organisation. Date of review: November 21, 2012
In full: I got a P.B. so am over the moon.I run this race every year as it is a good cause and not far from home. However, the whole course seemed really congested this year so much so that I couldn't manage a sprint at the end which I love doing normally. Despite the announcer at the beginning repeatedly asking people to start in the correct starting areas this seemed to be largely ignored which made it necessary to do an awful lot of "weaving".As it stands I think that this race is at full capacity - if they allow anymore entrants it will not have P.B. potential which I believe is one of the main attractions of this race.I liked the techncial tee shirt this year and I would like to thank all of the volunteers who were marshalling etc as there was a definite nip in the air!!Date of review: November 20, 2012
In short: My first 10K, didnt have any problems. good atmosphere, almost completely flat. Only downside is the route isnt very scenic.Date of review: November 19, 2012
In short: Meggle please?In full: 4th go ate the abbey dash, first time I've got slower, but started a bit further back as the start area was full from well in advance of the race - was this also the warm up area or something?! Fair bit of weaving on the run itself, and the final run in is congested due to narrowing down to one lane.The finish area was very congested, lots of runners not really able to go anywhere, from other comments needs sorting and would rather have a medal than another "technical" t. Nice to get a for goodness shakes at the finish and a good near end of the year run in spite of some of the issues that seem to have crept in this year, but it has become a big run now with a lot of first timers.Date of review: November 19, 2012
In short: May not be the best organised but would run againIn full: Done a handful of times and would continue doing again, could be biased by the fact I only live less than 10 minutes from the start! Another PB after all these years, but like any relatively big races, there's a lot of weaving around all through the 10km, not just at the start!Read they were giving out Nectar gels at 5km (which was new I think, don't remember this from previous years. However, did not notice any such gels being given out!My gripe about the technical T-shirts is that, was there actually a size S, as there were only medium T-shirts available, and I had ticked small on my application, but now can't wear my way-too-large medium to run in, but felt I can't complain as I actually got a T-shirt compared to those who didn't, although they can now write in and asked for the right size!I agree with the others that the finish was poorly staffed, there was a sign and a bucket on the floor for the chips, but unless you know where to look for it, there is no one to tell you where it is.Would love to have medals again, they were given out many years ago, but not in the recent years.Overall, I wasn't too bothered by the organisational issues, maybe because I ran it a few times already and saw past these issues. Will definitely do it again.Date of review: November 19, 2012
In short: Good race let down by poor organisationIn full: The route was fast and mostly flat, but apart from the Abby not very interesting. It would be great for getting a PB if there weren't so many slower runners starting at the front. I had to dodge round people walking in the first 500 meters. Organisation at the end was terrible with too many people for the size of the finish area. Nice T-Shirts but running out in under an hour is unacceptable and let to a lot of disappointed people.Date of review: November 19, 2012
In short: pluses and minusesIn full: I got a pb which was good for me and considering the thousands doing it, the organisation was not that bad personally speaking. However I cold not get to my green pen unless I jumped over the barrier- I arrived well early too. Feel sorry for the guys who did not get a T shirt- no excuse for that as there were no entries on the day. Could not attempt to sprint for the finish and lost a few seconds there, due to the narrow run in before the finish area. However its all for a good cause and the sunny weather helped lift the spirits.Date of review: November 19, 2012

Puppies tend to be a bit chubby, though most start to grow into their rolls and become dogs of healthy weights. However, in some cases puppies can become overweight, which can then lead to an overweight dog when it reaches adulthood. Obese dogs can suffer a number of serious health issues such as arthritis, diabetes or heart and breathing problems, according to Dogster.com.
Recognizing the problem early means the issue can be more easily resolved before major complications of obesity set in. The site reports that an overweight puppy may exhibit heavy breathing, a lack of endurance or desire to play, lethargy or trouble getting up or down stairs.
VCA Animal Hospitals reports there are simple ways owners can check to see if their pups are overweight. Puppies of desirable weight will have ribs which are easily felt when touched. When viewed from above, owners should be able to see a distinct waist or narrowing behind the ribs. While looking from the side, puppies abdomens should "tuck" or go in behind their rib cage. Overweight puppies will have layers of fat over their ribs, no visible waists or belly tucks.
Owners who suspect their puppy may be overweight should bring them to the veterinarian health clinic to be checked out. Here, the vet may suggest a specific "puppy-safe" weight-loss plan and increasing exercise to get your pup on the right track to a healthy weight.

Wednesday, January 4, 2012 - Story by Don Hearn | Photos by BadmintonPhoto
England's Rajiv Ouseph won his inaugural match of 2012, ousting former Olympic champion Taufik Hidayat in the first round of the Victor Korea Open Superseries, one of the five OSIM BWF Superseries Premier events.
Almost all players this year have an identical focus, but Ouseph is not only London-bound, he is London-born, and once all the qualifying road trips are over, he will also be going home when the time comes for the biggest event of his career.
"This is the first time in an individual tournament that I've beaten such a high-profile player," explained Rajiv after his victory over the Indonesian great. "I've beaten Jan Jorgensen a couple of times and Park Sung Hwan, but those were in team tournaments.
"I feel like I've been playing better recently. At the Copenhagen Masters last week, it was the first time I took a game off Peter Gade so I think that gave me a bit of confidence to play better here.
"Taufik (pictured left) is very good but if he's not having one of his good days then there is the chance to beat him. Today looked like he wasn't wanting to run a lot so I thought that was the best option for me."
Compared to his compatriots in mixed doubles, Ouseph is in a rather enviable position in terms of Olympic qualification, with his nearest competitor for the Great Britain sport nearly 15,000 behind him in Olympic ranking points.
"It's been tough year, getting a lot of tough first rounds and everyone's playing a lot of smaller tournaments as well," Rajiv said.
"Now as it's getting close, I'm a bit more relaxed about it as my spot is more or less assured. It means I can concentrate a bit more on training and playing."
The last time around, Ouseph was in the top 3 for Britain but trailed behind then top shuttler Andrew Smith.
"I could have qualified, I think, but at the beginning I didn't really realize it and didn't make a big enough effort. This time around, I was a lot more prepared.
"I've been playing the Superseries for a couple of years now and for a player like me, from playing the European International Challenges and then coming to this type of event, it's quite daunting playing against the big-name players and now I feel a lot more comfortable doing that."
Born and raised in London, Rajiv Ouseph got into the sport right around the time that the opening of the national training centre was establishing Milton Keynes as the new place to be for English badminton.
"I was quite lucky. My dad was really into badminton and I had two older sisters who used to play when I was younger so I just wanted to play because everyone around me was."
Ouseph moved to Milton Keynes to train when he was 18 but obviously, he and the rest of the badminton world will be heading to his home this summer.
"It's quite exciting for someone like me: it's not often you get to play in the Olympics, first of all, and one in your own country, again, that's quite rare and in your hometown, it's really unheard-of, so for me, it's quite a big deal."
"My dad used to watch the All England when it was in Wembley so going back to watch the Worlds last year was quite a nice thing for him."
Rajiv's own first trip to the All England was to Birmingham when he was still just starting out as a recreational player, and watching the stars inspired him to try to be like them.
"I was 'ill' from school, because my family was quite into badminton and we would all go up for a day each year.
"I'm not sure whether my teachers caught onto it after a while. Every March, I'd be sick for a day and then back the next day."
Rest assured that when Olympic badminton goes to Wembley, everyone will be aware that their boy has come home.

My husband and I turned 65 in 2012. We are both still working, but finding it difficult to make ends meet. At age 66, my husband would get about $800 per month in Social Security and I would get about $2,000 per month. Can we both keep working and begin collecting our benefits this year? If so, should we? -- Rebecca, Milford, NJ
Social Security is one of those terms that almost every American has heard but very few fully understand. That's kind of scary since approximately 35 percent of Americans over 65 depend on Social Security benefits as their only income source, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, despite the fact that Social Security was never intended to work that way.
If you are planning to retire soon, deciding when and how to collect Social Security is critical. The good news for you and anyone else still working is that as long as you have reached your full retirement age (FRA), your Social Security benefits will NOT be reduced by earning additional income. Although you want to maximize your benefits, that doesn't necessarily mean just waiting longer to collect.
While you can begin receiving Social Security as early as 62, your monthly payments will most likely be greater if you wait until your full retirement age (FRA), which for you is 66. Your FRA depends on the year you were born (check out the Social Security Administration's website for details).
Deferring your Social Security retirement benefits beyond your full retirement age can mean higher payments. Here's how it works:
- Collect at 62 = 70-75% of your full retirement benefit.
- Collect at FRA = 100% of your full retirement benefit.
- Defer until after your FRA = an 8% credit each year you defer, up to age 70. So at age 70, you can be entitled to up to 132% of your full retirement benefit.
Married couples will typically benefit more from deferring Social Security than a single person, because the number of payments received will depend on the lives of both spouses. If both husband and wife are collecting, upon the death of one, the surviving spouse will inherit the larger of the two individual Social Security benefits.
If one spouse has earned a lot of income during his/her lifetime and the other has not, you might want to consider the "claim-and-suspend" strategy, as long as you have both reached your FRA. With this strategy, the higher earning spouse can claim and immediately suspend his (or her) retirement benefit, allowing it to continue to grow while making available a 50-percent dependent benefit for the lower earning spouse.
In your case, you could claim Social Security at age 66 and immediately suspend benefits. Then your husband, at age 66, could receive a spousal benefit of $1,000 (half of your FRA benefit), while letting his $800 and your $2,000 benefits grow. You both could continue to work, if desired or necessary, and the spousal benefit would not be affected. At age 70, you could then begin collecting your larger benefit of $2,640 and your husband could begin collecting his $1,056 benefit. Pretty cool, huh?
(Keep reading for two red flags to consider.)

Topic: two computer dev enviornment setup for personal home use
I don't know much programming. But I am interested in learning it. I have some kowledge of Java, Linux, MySQL, Ant and SVN. But I am NOT an expert in anything.
Here is my situation:
I have two computers. From all the books I've read, the general recommendation is that build-environment should be separate from the development environment. I want to use one computer exclusively as my build environment or production environment. And one computer for development. I have also read in the books that a "source control" is very important. Something like SVN. So, I need help in setting up my build-environment.
Currently, when I write some code, I write it in Eclipse and then save it. I keep making back-up copies and renaming old versions. And I don't use version-control(like SVN). And I do everything on just 1 computer. For example, if I am writing a calculator program. I keep renaming my directory as calculator_001 , calculator_002. This works for me without any problems.
But I just want to be a little more professional and set-up an enviornment like used by professional companies.
In the end: I want to develop in my development machine, and then check-in the code into build-machine, and then run it on build-machine as well and see it from browser. That's all. I will be mainly developing JSP based web applications. I will also like to use "Ruby on Rails" with "MySQL".
Can someone guide me through the process? I am NOT asking for handholding. I will do all the techncial work. I do NOT need instructions on how to install linux, or how to install java. I just need some help in putting this all together and making a professional enviornment for myself.

Labradoodles, cockapoos and shar-poos may sound like characters from a Dr. Seuss book, but they are becoming more and more common on sidewalks and backyards across America. These hybrid canines, commonly called "designer dogs," are bred from two purebred parents to bring out the best in hereditary qualities. Like many "designer" things, hybrid dogs are often more expensive than purebred or mixed-breed dogs. But are they better?
What's the difference between a hybrid and a mutt?
Of course, all dogs can make loving and loyal companions. That is why many families are thrilled with mixed-breed dogs they can adopt at the shelter. The difference between a mixed-breed dog, or a "mutt," and a hybrid dog is that with the latter, both parents are purebred and carefully selected so certain qualities come out in the puppies. In a mixed-breed dog, the pup's heritage is usually unknown, and its parents were likely not purebred, either. They generally contain the genes of a number of breeds, not just two.
Why create hybrids?
Of course, there may be some dogs at the shelter that were unintentional hybrids. However, the reason most people seek out a hybrid is for a specific trait it has. Poodles are one of the most popular breeds for cross-breeding because of their hypoallergenic qualities. A poodle bred with a Labrador retriever (Labradoodle) or a golden retriever (golden doodle) allows a family with pet allergies to enjoy a large pooch with the friendly demeanor of a retriever.
Some breeders aim to avoid pet health problems, too. For example, breeds that are predisposed to dog diabetes may be bred with other breeds so future generations are not.
What's the history of the hybrid?
Although the "designer dog" seems to be a recent trend, all dogs are technically hybrids - they were bred strategically to bring out certain characteristics. For example, the curly-coated retriever is thought to be a descendant of the Old English water dog, Irish water spaniel, a small type of Newfoundland and a poodle. Over time, these dogs were bred to create one of the best hunting companions, according to Animal Planet.
Another example is the Dachshund. These dogs were bred to hunt badgers, so they needed a small body that would allow them access to badger holes. Their ancestors include the bracke, miniature French pointer, and the pinscher, a vermin-killing terrier.
Even though designer dogs may have fewer health problems than their purebred counterparts, they still require routine veterinary health care and can develop medical conditions like any other dog - purebred or mutt.

Mano Pro Aquatic Elliptical Machine
by Jointec | Item #: 756020 | Model #: MAN.PRO 01 |
We're sorry, this item is not available in your selected Club. Check another Club
About this itemMano Pro is a complete aquatic elliptical machine designed for extensive exercise in a pool or spa.
Riding a stationary bike provides a great workout for the lower body's major muscles (gluteals, quadriceps, hamstrings) reinforces cardio-respiratory capacity and burns major calories. But stationary biking in the open air can be uncomfortable and cause stress on the body. That's why Jointec has paired the advantages of cycling with the soothing qualities of water exercise to bring you a fat burning workout that promises low fatigue and no joint pain! Check out all the reasons why Jointec's Aquabike allows you to reap the benefits of an intense cardio workout, including muscle toning and decreased cellulite without the negative impacts of open air cycling.
The advantages of water exercise:
Weightlessness: the body weighs 1/5th of its weight underwater.
Warm water is relaxing and stimulating – it slows the heart rate down by 10%.
The hydrodynamic resistance of water allows for easy and painless pedaling. Acceleration increases the energy expenditure without putting unnecessary stress on the joints.
The hydrostatic pressure dramatically improves circulation to stimulate the elimination of lactic acid, the chemical compound responsible for the feeling of fatigue. Aquabikers are left with a sensation of complete well-being
Why is Aquabiking so effective against cellulite?
Pedaling underwater generates a constant whirlpool massage, which breaks down the orange peel appearance of cellulite.
The hydrostatic pressure mobilizes the fat and eliminates it in the blood stream.
Underwater exertion burns stubborn fat, reducing cellulite at a faster rate.
The advantages of water exercise:
Why is Aquabiking so effective against cellulite?
- A cardio training and calorie burning equipment for all groups – athlete to senior
- The effort and intensity of the exercise can be changed by increasing the angle of the blades in the water, increasing or decreasing resistance.
- Leg activity and improved venous system activation, over time, by strengthening the postural muscles of the lower body
- Walking, running and Nordic skiing movements reproduced in the pool with all the benefits water exercise provides
- All the muscles, from the feet to the shoulder girdle, are used in a natural, synchronized and dynamic way
- Movement is completely fluid and regular due to the large inertia flywheel
- A feeling of absolute safety and balance thanks to the secure adjustable non-slip foot grips
- Total stability is due to the frame's rigidity and broad base
- Resistance can be adjusted from low to high (170 to 300 watts) by simply pivoting the blades while on the bike
- Passivated stainless steel marine grade 316 L with thermoplastic coating
- Ideal water depth: 4'7" +/- 6"

Our opinion: It shouldn't be a horse race
A long time ago, our society allowed competition to supplant achievement at the top of the chart for high school graduates.
The titles of Valedictorian, Salutatorian and Historian were established as the Win, Place and Show of secondary education.
That is, it doesn't make as much difference how high your grade point average (your individual achievement) as how you compared to other students in your graduating class. The young people who finish fourth through last are simply the Also-Rans.
The impetus to win that race has been made even stronger by the offer by many state universities of a full scholarship based on Validictorian status alone. It has promoted the phenomenon of manipulating the system through "class shopping," the seeking out of a graduating class where a student's GPA would be placed at the top at graduation time, no matter if the student had attended that school previous to their senior year. And, in those instances where a top student transfered for other reasons, such as the availability of specialized classes, it created the ill-informed impression that the student had shopped.
In either case, the resulting controversy becomes a distraction to the mission at hand – honoring and rewarding academic achievement and excellence.
The Warren County School District has grappled with this dilemma in the past and continues to do so, and we suggest a solution.
Discard the top-three designation in favor of a Latin honors system employed by most colleges and universities based on individual achievement and not how an individual student compares to others.
Such variables as advanced placement courses, additional courses and dual enrollment college-level courses would, of course, be noted on a student's transcript and would contribute in a weighted fashion to their grade point average.
The district would not be exploring new ground. The Fairview School District in Erie County already designates Summa Cum Laude for its top students (within fractions of a grade point of the top school), Magna Cum Laude (a somewhat lesser level of GPA) and Cum Laude (a third-tier). Its official ranking policy states the very issues faced by the WCSD, and we suspect many, many more school districts.
As for that validictorian-specific scholarship, we would submit that any student graduating Summa Cum Laude would be in line for the largest academic scholarships at both public and private colleges and universities.

Here's how RW members rated this race (1044 votes).
In short: The best marathon I have doneDate of review: October 16, 2013
In short: Incredibly well organised race - before, during and afterIn full: My first marathon and it was a fantastic introduction. It was brilliantly well organised, from the entry submission to the portaloos all the way round. Running out of water at one stop, not so great, and there's nothing they could do about the weather (how hot?!?!!?), but everything else was brilliant. Has made me want to run more organised races, something which I've avoided like the plague previously!Date of review: October 16, 2013
In short: Fantastic dayIn full: A truly fantastic day-one of the best.Done over 100 marathons at over 60 venuesand this ranks towards the very top.Absolutely everything works so well, verygood pre race info and such a specialatmosphere on race day and loads of extralittle touches you don't get elsewhere.The marshalls/volunteers were excellentand very encouraging all the way round.The only thing you could possibly faultwas the 24 mile marker being nowhere nearwhere it should have been but that is mebeing very very picky.Top class event-already entered for 2014.Well done to everyone involved-brilliant !Date of review: October 16, 2013
In short: Fantastic race with excellent organisation, do it!In full: My first marathon and I'm glad I went with Chester, the guys who organise this do a fantastic job.Date of review: October 16, 2013
In short: Superb, pb last year, pb this year. Just undulating enough to stop you being lazy. Perfect drinks and gel positioning. Well done again Chester. Date of review: October 15, 2013
In short: Excellent organisation, very friendly atmosphere, all in all a wonderful experience!Date of review: October 15, 2013
In short: Rejuvenated my confidence in distance running!Date of review: October 15, 2013
In short: Best organisation I have ever seen, obvious it is organised by runners.In full: The organisation was superb, at the start there was great baggage store, lots of toilets, foot covers to protect trainers on the wet grass, drinks available and friendly people on hand if you had any questions. The drinks stations en route were so well organised and laid out, I have never seen anything like it. I got a PB and was very excited at the end, it was made all the more special by the fact that someone was there to personally congratulate me as I came over the line, it was as if they knew how pleased I was. The commentary was also good and there was great support along the route. Before the race, I had said no more marathons for me, after London 2014 but I think I may be back next year and Chester may become my annual autumn marathon.Date of review: October 14, 2013
In short: well organised eventDate of review: October 14, 2013
In short: Top notch raceIn full: Chris and Andy clearly know what makes a good race and equally seem passionate about giving everyone taking part the best possible experience. They'd thought of everything, even down to providing polythene shoe covers for the grassy start. Before the start, the organizing team were everywhere to help with questions. The race follows a very scenic route, ranging from beautiful old Chester itself to pretty villages to rolling countryside and old bridges over the river as we crossed into Wales and back into England again. The roads were closed throughout so there was always plenty of room to run. Each village had loads of people cheering the runners on. Plenty of drinks stations, with info sent out with race pack listing which of water, gels, energy drinks would be available at each – and a big 'bin' to aim your empty into afterwards. Mostly flat but, as the organizers say, most of the hills that are there come towards the end of the course – so keep something back for them or risk that finishing time you think you are on course to hit going out the window! Thanks to all the team for laying on such a quality event. Normally I'd want to try a different marathon each time – but with this one I'll be back for more. Good times!

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
National Infant Immunization Week
This week, April 20-27, is National Infant Immunization Week, reports the Dickinson-Iron County Health Department and the Florence County Health Department.
National Infant Immunization Week is an annual observance to highlight the importance of protecting infants from vaccine-preventable diseases and celebrate the achievements of immunization programs and their partners in promoting healthy communities, said Joyce Ziegler, RNC, Community Health Services Director at the Dickinson-Iron District Health Department.
Since 1994, National Infant Immunization Week has served as a call to action for parents, caregivers, and health care providers to ensure that infants are fully immunized against 14 vaccine-preventable diseases.
Parents agree that feeding and sleep schedules are important to help keep their children healthy, officials said.
The same goes for childhood immunizations.
Vaccinating children on time is the best way to protect them against 14 serious and potentially deadly diseases before their second birthday.
"The recommended immunization schedule is designed to offer protection early in life," Ziegler said, "when babies are vulnerable and before it's likely they will be exposed to diseases."
Public health and medical experts base their vaccine recommendations on many factors. They study information about diseases and vaccines very carefully to decide which vaccines kids should get and when they should get them for best protection.
Although the number of vaccines a child needs in the first two years may seem like a lot, doctors know a great deal about the human immune system, and they know that a healthy baby's immune system can handle getting all vaccines when they are recommended.
Ziegler cautions against parents delaying vaccination.
"There is no known benefit to delaying vaccination," she said. "In fact, it puts babies at risk of getting sick because they are left vulnerable to catch serious diseases during the time they are not protected by vaccines."
When parents choose not to vaccinate or to follow a delayed schedule, children are left unprotected against diseases that still circulate in this country, like measles and whooping cough.
In 2010, more than 27,000 cases of whooping cough were reported nationally with 27 deaths – 25 of which were infants.
Today, there are cases in every state, and the country is on track to have the most reported cases since 1959.
As of November 16, 2012, more than 35,000 cases have been reported across the United States, including 16 deaths.
The majority of these deaths were among infants younger than 3 months of age.
Immunization is a shared responsibility.
Families, health care professionals, school nurses, and public health officials must work together to help protect the entire community.
Local health care providers and health departments in Oneida, Florence, Forest, and Vilas counties have teamed up together as the Northwoods Immunization Coalition to address local immunization rates, professional educational opportunities, local supply and community access to vaccines, said Annette Seibold, director of Florence County Health Department.
Vaccinations are safe and have been proven to prevent serious diseases.
"Giving babies the recommended immunization by age two is the best way to protect them from serious childhood diseases," said Dr. Wegehaupt, pediatrician with Ministry Medical Group-Northern Region.
Parents are encouraged to talk to their health care provider to assure their child is up-to-date on immunizations.
For more information or to schedule an appointment for immunizations, call the Dickinson-Iron Health Department at 774-1868 or (906) 265-9913.
Local health departments offer vaccinations through the Vaccine for Children program which are available at no charge to eligible children.
Contact your health care provider or Florence County Health Department at 715-528-4837 to see if your child is up to date.

Classic Clean Short Bob Hairstyle
The look is very reserved but well styled. Blame it on the brown loop that lightly embraces the ear and the brown wave that strike a pose on the other side. The fringe is swept off the center with visibly soft arches originating from the roots. This is also a classic hairstyle turned into a contemporary favourite. Rave about it all you want but this girl will have her moment.

America's Premier Paver
Permeable Pavers
Our new Permeable Clay Pavers allow rainwater to filter down through a specially constructed paving system and dissipate into the soil, rather than carry excess pollutants into storm drains. Click here for Background.
Our StormPave® product is an English Edge® style permeable paver is designed for institutional and commercial projects where impervious surface restrictions apply and joint openings need to meet ADA restrictions (less than 1/2") when onsite retention/infiltration is mandated.
RainPave® is a permeable Rumbled® clay paver is designed for residential driveways and can reduce your property's impervious surface footprint to meet local stormwater requirements and open the way for a larger house footprint.
With recent concerns about the environment, there is a lot of talk about stormwater management and the potential effect from impervious surfaces like paved streets, driveways, homes, buildings and commercial parking lots. Most projects will require the expertese of a qualified engineer to determine the suitability of the area for a permeable system as well as requirements for the system itself.
The following clip, courtesy Henson Foley, Annapolis, MD, show how a parking lot paved with our water permeable product conducted stormwater during a torrent.

text: With 2012 a few days behind us, it is time to apply our 20/20 hindsight to the year in film. And, it was a record-breaking year. According to Box Office Mojo, Domestic Box Office was $10.8 billion last year, barely besting the 2009 record of $10.6 billion. The total number of films released was up last year to 655, which is also a record. But these two results combined indicate that the year was not steller on a per picture basis. Any given release averaged $16.5 million, which is below the average for the last ten years at $17.3 million. This is a contrast to the 2009 record year, with 521 releases, where the average per release was $20.3 million. Ticket sales was up from 2011 and 2010, and it remains strong. But, at 1,364.6 million, it remains below average for the last ten years, which is 1,413.6 million. And, the 2.08 million per release is actually the lowest in the last ten years.

Transitional housing shortage in La Crosse
LA CROSSE, WI (WKBT) - Every night, hundreds of people in La Crosse find themselves without a home to sleep in. They are individuals and families, adults and kids. There are shelters to go to, but that is only a temporary solution.
You might be surprised to hear that there are about 1,200 people in our small community that are homeless. For many,. the road to getting off the street runs through transitional housing. There is a huge need for it in the city but nowhere near enough housing.
Couleecap in La Crosse has 29 unit of transitional housing to help people get off the street, and it's just not enough. "We turn away close to 800 people a year for that service," says Couleecap's Kim Cable, "it takes every little bit to make these programs work." The YWCA has just six apartments and focus on helping single moms. "I think it's big, especially for the population that we serve," says Mary Jacobson from the YWCA, "We have two and three bedroom units and each one has a waiting list of about 20 people."
Those numbers are rising, not falling. Couleecap says its fastest growing population is homeless families. What transitional housing tries to do is not only give them a roof over their heads, but also give them tools to stay off the street. "We work a lot on household budgeting," says Cable, "we help them learn how to plan for their families, get along with landlords and other tenants and just build that financial capacity." "A program like this can help break that cycle," says Jacobson, "to move them from poverty into being a productive member of society and being able to sustain themselves."23038152
Even with hundreds of people on the waiting list, organizations have a hard time expanding for one simple reason, "Dollars," says Jacobson, "it's always going to be dollars." Cable agrees, "A huge roadblock is funding for those services," she says, "we're at risk for having even our existing programs cut this year, that's the word from the federal government and we're worried about that."
The money problem is something the groups will continue to deal with because the homeless problem isn't going anywhere. "As we grow," says Jacobson, "that problem area will always be there and I think we need to figure out smarter ways, not work harder, work smarter in addressing the needs of the population."
Last year only 2% of people who left the program ended up going back into shelters. That low number is important because funding is tied to performance.
November is National Hunger and Homeless Awareness month. On any given night in the U.S. up to two million people are homeless.
