What is Coley's toxins treatment for cancer?
This page tells you about a cancer treatment known as Coley's toxins. You can find out about
Coley's toxins treatment was developed by a bone surgeon called William Coley in New York City in the 1890s. It is also called Coley's treatment, mixed bacterial vaccine, endotoxin treatment, or Issel's fever therapy. Available scientific evidence does not currently support claims that Coley's toxins can treat or prevent cancer.
Coley noticed that cancer patients who got infections after surgery seemed to do better than people who did not get an infection. He believed that the infection had stimulated their immune system to fight the cancer. At first Coley injected live bacteria into cancer tumours. But using live bacteria could cause serious illness or even death due to infection. So he began using bacteria that had been killed. This gives a high temperature (fever) but does not cause a serious infection.
Boosting the immune system to attack cancer cells is called immunotherapy. Many researchers around the world are looking into immunotherapy and a lot of progress has been made in this field since Coley's time.
Some modern cancer drugs work by stimulating the immune system and you can read about them in our section about biological therapies. Doctors sometimes use immunotherapy on its own to treat certain types of cancer. But more often they use it alongside or after standard cancer treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy.
The original formula for Coley's toxins is no longer available. Current formulas use killed bacteria called Streptococcus pyogenes and Serratia marcescens. Supporters of this treatment suggest that the bacteria directly boost the immune system to kill the cancer cells. Some people think that the treatment stimulates a natural protein called tumour necrosis factor (TNF). But other doctors think that it stimulates another protein called interleukin 12 (IL12).
The treatment causes a high temperature. Some people think that cancer cells are more sensitive to heat than normal cells and that the high temperature kills the cancer cells.
Although some cancers did shrink in patients treated by Dr Coley, in others his treatment didn't help. Other researchers have found it difficult to repeat his successes. In trials since that time, some patients with certain types of cancer had shrinkage of the cancer or lived longer than expected. But it is not possible to know whether this is just by chance or because of other treatments they had.
The formula for the treatment varied a lot in the early trials and the toxins were used in different ways. Some patients had injections directly into the tumour and some into the bloodstream. So it is difficult to compare the trial results. At the moment there is no solid evidence from modern clinical trials to show that Coley's toxins can reliably treat cancer or work better than other types of treatment.
Different types of Coley's toxins were made by several drug companies in the USA until the early 1950s. But then other types of cancer treatment became more widely used.
You can find detailed information about research into Coley's toxins on the American Cancer Society website.
You have Coley's toxins injections either directly into the tumour or into a vein. You have daily doses until it causes a constant high temperature. This often takes several months.
Coley's toxins treatment is not available as a standard treatment in the UK. Some clinics still give it as a treatment in the USA, Central America, Germany and China. But it is not clear whether these clinics are using the original Coley formula or a combination of Coley's toxins and other bacteria.
Coley's toxins cause a high temperature that can make you feel very unwell. You may also feel sick. Some people have other effects such as
- Headaches
- Back pain
- Chest pain
- Shock like reactions
There is a risk of serious infections in people with a weakened immune system.
Coley's toxins have not been thoroughly tested to find out how they interact with medicines, foods, or dietary supplements. Taking Coley's toxins with other medicines or cancer treatments could be harmful. It is very important to let your doctors know if you are thinking of using any type of alternative or complementary therapy.
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use Coley's toxins.
Relying on this type of treatment alone and avoiding or delaying regular medical care for cancer may seriously harm your health.
Following on from Dr Coley's work, his daughter published several papers with her father's results. She also founded the Cancer Research Institute in New York, which is still studying how immunology can help to diagnose and treat cancer.
We don't know of any active research into the original Coley formula at this time. But some research is looking into using pieces of DNA that might have caused cancer shrinkage in some patients.
Today scientists are looking at newer immunotherapy treatments using various natural bacteria and genetically modified bacteria. They are also using purified molecules and drugs to try and stimulate the immune system to destroy cancer cells. Some researchers are looking into using bacteria to carry cancer treatments into cancer cells. The understanding of how the immune system works has developed a lot since Dr Coley's time. So current immunotherapy treatments are likely to work much better.
But research into bacterial treatments is still at an early stage and they should only be used within clinical trials.

Moneysupermaket today highlighted how vulnerable online businesses are to the whims of Google, saying less people logged on to the price-comparison site between May and June after the internet giant made changes to its search engine.
Shares fell almost 2% after the company, known for its lurid TV adverts, said a change in Google's algorithms meant insurance revenues and visitor numbers had slowed in the second quarter. The company said it is working on regaining its prominent placing in search results for the term "insurance".
Despite this, Moneysupermarket said it is on track to meet its half-year revenue target of £112 million, around 10% more than the same period last year. Analysts at Canaccord Genuity also reaffirmed their buy rating on the firm in the wake of the news.
In March, Moneysupermarket warned that the Government's Funding for Lending scheme was slowing revenue growth by pushing down rates on savings products.
Last month, the comparison site's founder, Simon Nixon, also set out plans to sell a 15% holding in the company worth £165 million. Moneysupermarket said that the sale is to "diversify his personal holdings" and "increase liquidity in the company's shares".
The group will make a special dividend payment of £70 million to shareholders on July 26.

It won't be for the long term, but 66ers slugger Zach Borenstein appears to be doing well as the team's everyday designated hitter.
Borenstein was named the California League's batter of the week for the week ending Sunday.
From July 22-28, Borenstein batted .435 (10 for 23) with four home runs, 14 RBIs and seven runs scored. The grand slam he hit on Sunday was the first by a Sixers batter since last August 1.
Borenstein, who celebrated his 23rd birthday last week, injured his hip flexor at the end of the first half, and was out from June 16 until returning on July 10.
Since then he has served only as a designated hitter and a pinch hitter for the Sixers, batting .411 with five home runs, 14 runs and 24 RBIs in 16 games.
His patience at the plate has also improved. He had just 16 walks and 53 strikeouts in 65 games before the injury, but has eight walks and eight strikeouts in 16 games since. For the season, he is batting .333 with 21 home runs and 74 RBIs in 81 games. He is now second in the league in batting behind High Desert's Chris Taylor (.335 but now in Double-A), tied for second in home runs and tied for third in RBIs.
It is the third time this year a 66ers player was batter of the week. Michael Snyder won it for May 13-20 and July 8-15.
San Jose's Clayton Blackburn won pitcher of the week honors. He pitched eight innings at Lancaster on Thursday, allowing three hits and one run while striking out six.
Perhaps the pitching award should have gone to Bakersfield's Jon Moscot, who dazzled at Lake Elsinore on Saturday.
Yes, it is more impressive to pitch well at Lancaster than at Lake Elsinore. But Moscot didn't allow a run in eight innings, allowed the same number of hits (three) and struck out the same number (six). Neither pitcher walked a batter.
But how about a sympathy vote?
Moscot's victory ended a 12-start winless streak and improved his record this season to 2-14. Yes, 2-14.
He hasn't been as bad as his record would indicate.
His ERA is a respectable 4.59, the lowest it has been all season. He has allowed fewer hits than innings pitched and struck out more than hits allowed.
Since July 5 and entering Monday, much of the league has been stuck in mediocrity. Seven of the 10 teams in the league are 10-12 or 11-11.
Bakersfield is the one team below that mark (8-14), while Visalia (13-9) and the Quakes (16-6) are the only two teams above it.
The Quakes have won seven straight series, which has allowed them to steadily climb back into the South Division playoff race. The Quakes are just 3<MD+,%30,%55,%70> 1/<MD-,%0,%55,%70>2 games behind High Desert for the last playoff spot.
Baseball can be surprising in that it's possible for something not to happen at all for an extended period, then happen twice in one day.
Such is the case for five-hit games in the Cal League. Until Sunday, no individual had a five-hit game in the league since June 9.
But on Sunday, both the Quakes' Casio Grider (against Lancaster) and Bakersfield's Juan Silverio (against Lake Elsinore) went 5 for 5.
It's not that rare, however, for that to happen. Last year, there were only 14 five-hit games the entire season, yet two playes accomplished the feat on the same day three times.
It may be overshadowed by the 104 bases stolen by Bakersfield's Billy Hamilton in 82 games last year, but Lake Elsinore's Travis Jankowski is still having an impressive year. He has swiped 61 bases in 74 attempts this year, leading the league by a margin of 22.

"If things were easy to find they wouldn't be worth finding"
Film Synopsis:
Adapted from the acclaimed bestseller by Jonathan Safran Foer, "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" is a story that unfolds from inside the young mind of Oskar Schell, an inventive eleven year-old New Yorker whose discovery of a key in his deceased father's belongings sets him off on an urgent search across the city for the lock it will open. A year after his father died in the World Trade Center on what Oskar calls "The Worst Day," he is determined to keep his vital connection to the man who playfully cajoled him into confronting his wildest fears. Now, as Oskar crosses the five New York boroughs in quest of the missing lock – encountering an eclectic assortment of people who are each survivors in their own way – he begins to uncover unseen links to the father he misses, to the mother who seems so far away from him and to the whole noisy, dangerous, discombobulating world around him.
My Take:
We went to see Extremely loud and incredibly close when it was released theatrically. We knew little about it other than the story revolved around a little boy, 9/11, and that it starred Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock. For me the subject of 9/11 hits very close to home both professionally and personally. We know people that lost loved ones in the World Trade Center attacks and the film's depiction of their last contact/telephone calls struck a chord. As for the film, we loved it. Based on the 2005 novel by Jonathan Safran Foer the story revolves around Oskar, an overtly bright eleven year old who has some of social/anxiety disorder (the story alludes to inconclusive tests on him for Asperger's syndrome) and loses his closest friend, his father, in the 9/11 attacks. By design the narrative is evocative as it tells the story from Oskar's point of view. His character, as drawn, is someone that understand things from a narrower perspective based upon practicalities that need to make sense. For him "The worst day" was something that he needed to make sense of. He needed something tangible to give him somewhere to begin. His father would often provide him with clues to scavenger hunts that required him to interact with people in the community and together they would examine/discuss Oskars findings. Nearly one year after 9/11 Oskar found a key in his father's closet. Along with the key he found several "clues" that must have been left for him. His task, to find the lock that the key fits. For Oskar this provided a means for him to not only try and makes sense of something that made no sense but also as a way to feel closer to his father. From this point the storyline focuses on Oskar's devised plan, a series of connective flashback sequences involving he and his father, the estrangement he feels toward his mother and the relationships he forms during his journey to find a very small needle (the key) in a huge haystack (New York City).
In my opinion Extremely loud and incredibly close isn't a story about 9/11 per se. It's a story that speaks to the human condition in terms of the effects of tragic loss and the rippling currents of guilt, grief and longing that follow. In this case it's the perceptions of a special child that shared an incredible bond with someone and after losing that person faces it the only way he can. Unfortunately for him, he experiences all of the aforementioned emotions not only through a child's eyes but from a limited perspective where logical meaning is paramount. Eric Roth's screenplay is superbly crafted and filled with dialogue and scene specific phrasing geared toward unleashing Oskar's thoughts, emotions or frustration at those around him. Newcomer (first time actor!) Thomas Horn is simply amazing. He is in every scene of this film and owns them all. There is a viably rich connection to him as well as to the film's other characters, through him. As the story's layers are peeled back there are several integral plot points that are unveiled. Things don't quite turn out as you might expect or hope (or maybe they do) but that really isn't the purpose. The primary cast members in Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock and Max Von Sydow give strong performances (in support of Thomas Horn in my opinion). Stephen Daldry's direction and Chris Menges' cinematography also equally enrich the proceedings. The end result is a powerful and emotive film that is made up of a series of meaningfully rewarding moments. Nominated for two Academy Awards one for Best Picture, Extremely loud and incredibly close is a film that some may view as exploitive or opportunistic. I didn't see it that way at all and look forward to watching it again.

Extremely loud and incredibly close comes to Blu-ray Disc from Warner Home Video featuring 1080p AVC encoded video that has an average bitrate of 19 Mbps and lossless DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio sound that has an average bitrate of 3.7 Mbps.
Shot digitally this film looks superb on Blu-ray Disc and features glossy high definition video quality that exhibit high level detail, razor sharpness and exquisite definition that brings out lifelike textures captured by the camera's lens. Dimensional perspective has a near infinite appeal that can be visually stimulating. Close ups are noticeably refined and revealing of the subtlest details within facial features and objects within the frame. Mid level camera pans are equally enriching and offer excellent depth and dimension. Colors are appreciably delineated with natural rendering and punchy primaries that stand out among the remaining spectrum of secondary hues. Fleshtones are rendered with vivid tonality and discerning complexional depiction. Contrast is bold applied without overstatement as it enlivens colors and drives whites with washing away detail. Blacks are gradational and fairly deep which helps them pop during sequences containing a mix of light and dark elements. Detail in uneven light and darkened environments reveal visible shapes and structure in backgrounds. This is a pristine and reference quality presentation that looks great.
The lossless DTS-HD MA soundtrack has excellent dynamic range, detail rich clarity and makes ample use of the entire surround platform to drive the film's thematic elements. Alexandre Desplat's music score, coupled along with well integrated discrete and atmospheric sound effects, plays an intricate role in this sometimes active surround mix. The detection of subtle background sounds, off camera cues and spatial dimension within the room's acoustic environment is excellent. The low frequency effects channel is active as the subwoofer works in tandem with the rest of the system to convey the palpably rich bass and dynamic impact associated with the "sounds" of New York City. Dialogue is firmly planted in the center channel and clearly renders voices and effects with appropriate distinction and balance within the front soundstage. I thoroughly enjoyed this audio presentation and found that it accentuated the feeling of "being there" while complimenting the film's recorded elements.
Both the audio and video presentations mimicked what I saw in the theater and together make for an excellent home theater experience.
Bonus Features:
Final Thoughts:
Based on the novel by Jonathan Safran Foer Extremely loud and incredibly close is a powerful and effecting drama that speaks to the human condition in terms of the effects of tragic loss and the rippling currents of guilt, grief, longing and eventually closure that follow. The story follows an eleven year old boy in his desperate search in the hopes of keeping alive the connection he shared with his father who perished on 9/11. Nominated for two Academy Awards one for Best Picture, Extremely loud and incredibly close is a film that some may view as exploitive or opportunistic. I didn't see it that way at all. It makes its way onto Blu-ray from Warner Home Video featuring sparkling high definition audio/video quality and a disappointing (no audio commentary really?) but passable assortment of bonus features. This film is recommended viewing and has found a home in my Blu-ray library.

Great review Ralph. I was on the fence about watching this one as I have grown a bit tired of 9/11 stories over the years. But after your review will be checking this out.
One note though that made me laugh out loud in you review was "Asburger's" that sounds more like some weird kinky stuff then a mental disorder.
I hope you were meaning Asperger's.
I will definitely be getting this one when it comes out!
As corny as it sounds, I lost 3 loved ones on 9/11 and yea it was hard to deal with. Curious to see how "others" in this story dealt with it

Absolutely meant Asperger's. One episode too many of South Park..
I don't think I will check this one out. Seems like the sole purpose of this movie was to win awards. I still don't know how this was nominated for best picture when a great movie like "Drive" was snubbed.
Thanks for this review, Ralph. I was skeptical of this film when I read some reviews that felt it was exploitive of 9/11, but I find from reading your reviews that we seem to be about the same age and have similar tastes in movies....so, this sounds like one I need to rent at some point.
Saw the trailer a few times before it really got me hooked but never had the time.
Will definintely be getting this one based on this write up plus the great ensamble casts.
In the book Oscar was nine. If Oscar is nine, then all his precociousness and all his oddities and all his vulnerability are kind of endearing.
The kid who plays Oscar in the movie is 14. He has a five o'clock shadow and a goiter.
Totally miscast. All of fourteen year old Oscar's eccentricities come of as especially whiny and pathetic.
As soon as ANY character in a movie destroys a room to demonstrate their rage and angst, I'm out. It's like fainting. It doesn't happen in real life and it's a big flashing neon sign that the writer does not know how to write their way out of an emotional escalation.
By my count, Oscar had three room smashing scenes. Jeez-o-PETE! This movie could have been so much better than it was.
The kid's name is Oscar? That is a not-so-subtle hint at the movies intentions.
When I read there was the character of a young boy named Oskar, I immediately thought of the book "The Tin Drum" by Gunter Grass. A quick google search reveals that I am not the only one to make the connection.
The character in Grass's book, in reacting to the horrors of war, decides to stop growing, and so he does. "The Tin Drum" was one of my favorite novels from my college years.
I suspect the name is not a coincidence, but not related to the Oscars, but to Oskar, the character in "The Tin Drum."
My copy of Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close arrived today and being very anxious to see it, I put it in the player right after finishing dinner. WOW... what a powerful presentation it was. It's all serious drama with just a bit of humor thrown in, but I don't see how it could have been any better. The video and audio were top notch as well. Those that don't like dramatic movies might want to pass on it, but other than that you can't go wrong with this one.
Thanks for the review and thanks for recommending it, Ralph... I'm most pleased to have this in my collection!

Glad to hear it oz. Enjoy!
I didn't see Flight 93 or World Trade Center. I am not going to see this movie, either.

Bulldogs Edge Lobos 2-1
May 4, 2013
By Theresa Kurtz
By Theresa Kurtz
FRESNO, Calif. - The Fresno State softball team set two new single season records in the its 2-1 victory over New Mexico on Saturday night in Bulldog Diamond. The Bulldogs (29-22, 10-7 MW) set a new single season record for stolen bases in a season reaching 77 tonight, while sophomore Brenna Moss reached 29 stolen bases on the year setting a new individual single season record.
The previous team record 75 stolen bases by the 1980 team and the Bulldogs broke the record after collecting three stolen bases on Saturday. The previous individual record was 27 set by Karen Tabor in 1980 and Haley Gilleland tied in 2011. Moss set the new record in the first inning of the game.
The Bulldogs took the lead in the third inning after a clutch another clutch hit from Vonnie Martin. The third baseman singled to left fielding as her hitting streak grew to 12 games and she plated two runs to give the `Dogs the lead 2-0.
"I started off looking for an outside pitch and I knew she was going to come back inside when I didn't swing at it in my previous at-bat," said Martin of her key at-bat. "I did the best I could with it. It wasn't what I expected, but what we needed at the moment."
New Mexico scored its first run of the series in the top of the sixth inning to cut Fresno State's lead 2-1. The Bulldogs ended the top of the seventh inning with a double play, which second baseman Whitney Smith back-handed the ball to shortstop Maria Sio, who quickly threw the ball to first base beating the runner and giving the `Dogs the win 2-1.
"We scrapped it together and I think we did well and got the job done," said head coach Trisha Ford. "Vonnie came up big for us again and Brenna got a great jump, so we were able to score two on a single. We had the clutch hit when we needed it."
Hannah Harris recorded the win on the mound and is 9-7 on the year. She tossed six scoreless innings giving up a run and six hits. Harris sat down seven in order from the fourth to the top of the sixth and recorded one strikeout.
"Hannah did well today and battled through," said Ford. "She didn't have her best stuff, but was able to piece together a great game. She made big pitches when she needed to and did a great job of inducing ground ball outs."
The `Dogs outhit the Lobos 7-6 with Martin leading the way with two hits and two RBI. She was the only Bulldog to record a multi-hit game, which was her 11th of the season.
Fresno State will honor its 2013 senior class prior to its final game at Bulldog Diamond on Sunday, May 5. The Bulldogs also wrap up the series against New Mexico and first pitch is set for 1 p.m.
"Discover Fresno State Athletics!" -- Bulldog softball hosts New Mexico for their final three-game Mountain West series May 3-5. Catch the action on ESPN 790 The Deuce, home Bulldog softball. Stay connected with the Bulldogs on Facebook (fresnostateathletics) and Twitter (@FSAthletics).

While the original JOYA Composition No. 1 bottle is stunning — porcelain with a gold-dipped wand applicator — it doesn't travel well. Strike that, it doesn't travel at all. Which is why this roll-on parfum is such a key part of our fragrance wardrobe. The pretty vial evenly disperses the sweet floral perfume oil, which has bright citrus top notes and a lingering sandalwood finish.
I didn't have the same reaction as other reviewers. I thought the scent was strong and noxious like the smells that are sprayed in cars after a car wash. It's got a strange undertone I can't pinpoint and I was disappointed. I usually like floral/citrus combos but this wasn't it.1

@Philips: Crtl +F5 did help. Link works now for me correctly and I could download the latest version. Thx.
I will let you know if I can recognize any improvement compared to last version 14.84.
@Philips: Crtl +F5 did help. Link works now for me correctly and I could download the latest version. Thx.
I will let you know if I can recognize any improvement compared to last version 14.84.
Attachment 706Please Philips, all related software with local dimming is set to "none". Is this correct?
FW 14.91 (Cinema 9956H).
When I put the FW14.91 on an USB stick and put in in the TV, the 46PFL8606H does not see the firmware. I keeps asking for making an indification file. Am I the only one with this problem ?
With the new FW14.091 I got a problem by switching from one channel to another: The time is longer then before and by switching with the Channel+ or channel- button on the remote control I'll often get a message "verschlüsseltes Programm" (crypted program).
What does the new FW changes in the TV-set?
The following bugs are still there:
no or bad sound after stop and go on watching a DVD, BlueRay or USB-Video (*.avi),
PerfectNaturalMotion problems (to slow at fast moves),
PerfectNaturalMotion on after switching TV-set off/on,
I am not really happy with my new TV-set!!!!!!!!!!!!1:mad:
What I find really strange is that no employee of Philips explains to all our questions and problems, with the latest firmware.
We may nevertheless assume that each of us a lot of money paid for a product and that it should work.
4 days later and still no release notes. Philips this is inconceivable, if you want to get to be a company with high customer satisfaction you can start by pro-actively answering the questions from your loyal customers in threads like this.
Does anyone happen to have the 14.84 firmware?
You can then upload that to me so
I can use again for my 46PFL9706/H12.
By using 14.91 I have more problems.
The reboot issue is not solved yet.
What is solved is that I do not get distorted sound anymore after watching movies. Actually it until today it did not occurre anymore. Let's see what the future brings us.
I upgraded my 46PFL8606 Led tv:
I'm positive about de Firmware!
There is only still 1 issue (already mentioned in the topic of the previous firmware version .84):
- Flashing backlight or large areas are lit on top or at the bottom area of the screen (usually after several minutes when you switched on the tv)
I really hope Philips can do something about this,
This fix would make this tv even more perfect!
Ready to try... But really missing the release note.
Editted by Philips: see #1
What I also noticed with the new firmware is that the switching of channels is much longer. (Sometimes even 10 seconds)
That if the TV is switched from one channel to another, the image falls off after 2 seconds.
Then comes the image again.
Translation by Google Translate
Same with my 9956 using integrated tuner (Ci- Unitymedia DVB-C /Germany) -
and sometimes channel does not appear, since you switch to next channel and back again to the primary channel ...
I've now tested the software 91 more days.
The shutdown after 2 hours is no longer available.
Unfortunately, there are still flashes of the image that always appear at different locations. The flashes increase when you change settings in the menu, as if the processor of the TV is then overloaded. The operation is then also very slow and delayed. Also, the pattern is still in the dark low-contrast images revealed.
The flash and the pattern is reported by many owners, remember when you do something about it?
Many owners of a defect in the LCD Panel Report from the Cinema 21:9. Here is a line in the middle and from there to the right is the picture darker. You can see these artifacts mostly in the horizontal pivot of the camera!
A Tonfehler is also new, stutters the playback of 1080p/24 Bluray of clay.
It is an imposition, what is being expected of the Premium customers, because they would have money to burn can also!
Please Philips, she hehmen your customers seriously, we require a device that works properly!

With the lows of financial times, and bleak economic outlook lately it can be a bit unnerving for us as creatives. Will our jobs be in danger if there are budget cuts? Will our client/freelance work slow down as a result of small business having to cut expenses? Is there enough work out there for all of us? These are all honest questions that have probably crossed our minds at some point over the last few months, and rightly so, but before we get all doom and gloom (which this article isn't) I think we should look at things from another angle.

Fiery fighter: Talia Joy Castellano, 12, has been fighting cancer for five years, but has turned her harrowing story into an inspiration for thousands of young girls who tune into the teen's make-up tutorials
Step-by-step: Over 100,000 people subscribe to the 12-year-ols' YouTube page to watch her bubbly and expert makeup tutorials, where she uses makeup as a 'wig' to give her, and her fans, everyday confidence
End result: Although Talia says she is not sure what her next steps are, she promises to continue her YouTube channel and make-up tutorials
Cancer fighter: Talia now has neuroblastoma and leukemia 'at the same time', giving her only four months to one year to live
A 12-year-old girl, who has been fighting cancer for five years, has turned her harrowing story into an inspiration for thousands of young girls who tune into the teen's weekly make-up tutorials.
Over 100,000 people subscribe to Talia Joy Castellano's YouTube page to watch her bubbly and expert makeup tutorials, where she uses makeup as a 'wig' and confidence booster.
Yesterday however, Talia uploaded a video blog announcing she now has 'neuroblastoma and leukemia at the same time'. Although she says 'the chances of surviving are fewer than surviving,' she will continue her videos 'for as long as I can.'
Talia was first diagnosed with with stage four neuroblastoma cancer, a tumor that develops from nerve tissue in infants and children, on Valentine's Day in 2007.
She reveals during a video: 'You don't think, "Oh my god I'm going to die". It's more like, "I'm going to lose my hair, I'm going to be skinny, I won't be able to eat, go to school, see my friends."'
The up-coming seventh grader said her popular make-up tutorials were conceived out of her distaste for wearing wigs.
'I don't like wigs, they're so, I dunno... When I have on a wig I feel, not fake, just not me', she explains,

Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 3 Answers 1 vote Best answer Amity Square is a park in Sinnoh where Trainers can walk around with their Pokémon and talk to them to check their moods. It is located north of Hearthome City. Checking their moods is the main purpose of talking to them. The items your Pokemon can hold are Fashion Props that can be used in the Pokemon Contest. Not all Pokemon have hands but that doesnt mean that they cant pick up stuff with their mouths like how dogs do it Source answered Aug 23, 2013 by Aeternis selected Sep 5, 2013 by Mewderator Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes In DPPt, Pokemon in Amity Square can pick up things as they walk with you, and the items are mainly accessories or berries. When it says something like "Oh? (Pokemon) is holding something", that means your Pokemon has picked up something and you can take it from them. Sometimes it'll say that your Pokemon likes you (indication of its happiness), sometimes it'll it tripped, which is just a random filler reaction. answered Aug 23, 2013 by fondant Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes The purpose of being able to talk to your Pokemon in DPPt in the Amity Square is for the novelty, but it also provides the function of being able to retrieve items used for contests.

Just recently traded up to a 14' WRX Hatch, and I'm already @ 1100 miles and I'm seriously considering the stage 1 tune. Problem is I need to be "convinced" more so to speak. I have money set aside if I do in fact, do the tune if something goes wrong...but I just want to do what will be best for the health of the engine.
I really don't want to open up a huge debate or anything, so if that happens feel free to lock this thread up just in case.
Convince me!
EDIT: Just realized, I'm a dummy and posted in the wrong forum! Sorry...

Meric No. 7 Syracuse Keeps a USF Upset Out of Reach January 06, 2013 By USF Related Links Box Score Season Stats Photo Album Video Highlights and Recap Stan Heath Postgame Interview Victor Rudd and Anthony Collins Postgame Interviews More Video Highlights Sign Up For Free Email Updates Team 1st 2nd OT Final No. 7/7 Syracuse 30 25 -- 55 USF 23 21 -- 44 By TOM ZEBOLD USF Senior Writer TAMPA – An upset of No. 7 Syracuse was up for grabs, but the Orange kept things just out of reach in the Bulls' Big East opener. A 43-26 rebounding advantage paid dividends for a Syracuse team that shot just 36 percent in a 55-44 victory over the Bulls before an announced crowd of 10,024. USF (9-4) saw its four-game winning streak get snapped despite shooting better than the Orange from the field. A challenge for the Bulls was establishing a rhythm while getting outboarded, 23-6, on the offensive end. "We beat them in every offensive percentage area, but the offensive rebounds were ridiculous," USF head coach Stan Heath said. "Their size, their quickness and their length just gave them so many opportunities than we had, and that was the huge difference in the game." Brandon Triche led three Syracuse players in double figures with 20 points and C.J. Fair had 10 points and 10 rebounds in Jim Boeheim's 904th career victory that he definitely wasn't impressed with. Syracuse shot 27 percent in the second half and Boeheim was not shy about his displeasure with the Orange's season-low scoring performance. "I've never seen a worse offensive performance in, I can't remember," Boeheim said. "... Our offense was really bad, that's all I can tell you." USF jumped out to a 17-7 lead to start the game, sparked by nine points by Victor Rudd, but the Bulls were on the comeback trail after Brandon Triche gave Syracuse its first lead with 3:26 to go before the half. "I think we just got comfortable," said Rudd, who posted 15 points and 11 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season. The Bulls did make things a bit uncomfortable for Syracuse before it improved to 14-1 (2-0 in Big East). A 3-pointer by Jawanza Poland cut USF's deficit to 47-42 with 6:22 to play, but the Bulls went without a field goal until Poland added a layup with 38 seconds left to get up to 12 points. "We just couldn't cut into (the lead)," Heath said. "If we could have just made a shot or made a play the game would have been tighter and who knows what would have happened." Boeheim noted that Syracuse was determined to shut down Anthony Collins after he posted 12 points and 10 assists in last season's close win over the Bulls and the Orange had a little better luck the second time around. Collins recorded seven of USF's 10 assists while the Bulls just couldn't get anything going on the offensive end down the stretch. "They're tall and they're good at their (2-3) zone. If you pass up a good shot, you may not get another one," Collins said. "I think we passed up a couple of them." The Bulls will look to rebound in Big East play 8 p.m. Wednesday when they host Villanova back at the Sun Dome. "There are more tough games to come, so you can't dwell on this loss," Rudd said.

Sin Cara Injured On Monday's WWE Raw – Broken Fingers In His Hand
Published On 08/20/2013 | News
Sin Cara broke fingers in his right hand on tonight's RAW. It all went down when he tried to dive to the outside of the ring onto Alberto Del Rio, according to PWInsider.
Cara connected with the dive and immediately called for the referee as several of his fingers were obviously out of place. If he broke his metacarpals, he would require surgery and have to go through grueling physical rehab.

Visitor information Open: September 2012Address: 18 High Street, Canterbury CT1 2RAContact: Canterbury Museums Services 01227 452 747www.futurebeaney.comAdmission: FreeBy train: Canterbury West Rail Station Top left: Van Dyck portrait of Sir Basil Dixwell, c 1638Bottom left: Donkey, Goat and Kid by Thomas Sidney Cooper, 1838sector was fragmented, investment in arts and culture was ridiculously small, advantage hadn't been taken of the [National] Lottery. But aspiration and ambition has started to prise money, so in a sense we've had a perfect storm. People really want things to change."They decided to base a 10-year plan - which stretched to 12 years as fi nancial constraints took a fi rmer grip - on the competition to be Britain's European Capital of Culture in 2008. They knew they wouldn't win, but aimed for the shortlist, which they also missed. "It was a blow because we had an excellent plan, so good that we decided go ahead with it anyway."In partnership with Kent County Council, the plan included developing festivals in the city and across East Kent, and helping local arts organisation to form connections with each other and local businesses, and to grow. The recommendation in a report to the council that the commitment to museums and culture should be cut back was ignored, and a council, which had vacillated between the three main parties for control, found itself united behind the culture plan, a unity that has never wavered. The two large capital projects in the historical north and west of Canterbury were to balance the commercial development in the east of the city, Whitefriars, with a new theatre and a museum, clustering near the Romanesque/Gothic masterpiece, the cathedral. The £17.4m Marlowe Theatre opened in October, a few yards from the fi nal development, the Beaney. Two unremarkable villas and a disused factory behind the old museum and library were acquired and demolished, allowing the new build which has doubled the space. The library now occupies a new basement area and part of the ground fl oor; the museum part of street level, mezzanine and fi rst fl oors. The old Beaney was a pioneer in that it combined library and museum services in a way that is being pursued in other urban centres now, but it was built without visitor services - no lifts, no café, not even a public toilet. They are all, of course, incorporated in the new facilities, with a second wheelchair-accessible entrance in Best Lane, adjacent to the High Street. "It is lighter and more welcoming," says Joanna Jones, "with a real emphasis on people exploring and engaging with the collections."Alcoves in the walls have been turned into windows between galleries, roofs have glass ceilings allowing natural light, and the artifi cial lighting has been devised to match the natural ambience. Artists are creating kaleidoscopes to be inserted into walls throughout the building, giving new light passages but also references to the collections for children in particular to enjoy.Contemporary art is to have a new emphasis, and with the help of the Arts Council a triple window by the artist Laura Thomas has been commissioned, thick glass in which strands of fabrics are embedded. For the fi rst time the museum will have a temporary exhibitions gallery, made to government indemnity standards so that loans can be made from national collections. The fi rst show will include works by Henry Moore, some borrowed from the Tate Gallery and the Arts Council to complement Canterbury's own holdings of lithographs by Moore. To make a natural connection with the library, the second exhibition will feature the work of the Children's Laureate, author and illustrator Anthony Browne. It will be a collaboration with the children's book gallery in Newcastle, Seven Stories.Working artists will be asked to give demonstrations and workshops of their practices in a new ground fl oor community centre, and an education area is being added. The community will also have its own exhibitions, the fi rst being a photographic record of a year in the city's life incorporating the work of professionals down to seven-year-olds."We have a thriving group of volunteers, many of them are students, and they contribute to the development of displays, the learning programme and are assisting with the recant of the collections," says Joanna Jones. "One of our priorities is to help people develop their skills to increase their employability, confi dence and creativity, and volunteering is an excellent way of achieving this."But the traditional collections will have an equally high profi le. The natural history holdings will have their own space, as will the objects collected by intrepid contributors, mostly from the 18th century - a Pacifi c paddle, a Greek vase and the Indian shield and mace given by Stephen Lushington, one-time MP for Canterbury and Governor of Madras early in the 19th century. The elements of the 'cabinet of curiosities' will also be present in a small gallery commemorating Dr Beaney. The institution is also an art museum with a substantial collection, including the prominent Van Dyck portrait of a local 17th-century member of Parliament, Sir Basil Dixwell, acquired in 2004 with the help of the National Heritage Memorial Fund and the Art Fund for just under £1m. Other important pictures include a 16th- century Madonna and Child by the Flemish painter Bernard Van Orley, and a vibrant 17th-century anonymous painting of Geoffrey Chaucer. Canterbury also has an important collection of the work of the locally born 19th-century landscape painter Thomas Sidney Cooper. An accomplished painter too little regarded today, Cooper was a local philanthropist establishing an art school in Canterbury that survives as part of the University of the Creative Arts. Recognition is being restored with a gallery devoted to his work."The Beaney in 2012 is a seamless operation between the books, the objects and the paintings, and it's about being very relevant to people, to encourage them to keep coming back," says Joanna Jones. "It's telling them about their history and heritage, and what contemporary Canterbury is like as well." ?www.nadfas.org.uk NADFAS REVIEW / SPRING 2012 35 THE BEANEY

With a £12m renovation of the public areas nearly complete Lucy Worsley, NADFAS-accredited lecturer and Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces, highlights some exciting changes In 1688, the tiny Dutch King William III and his tall English wife Mary II successfully invaded England. Together they took the crown of Mary's deposed Catholic father, James II. This handover of power is often known as 'The Glorious Revolution', and its results were certainly glorious for the country village of Kensington. Shortly after his arrival in London, it became clear that King William could not tolerate the river mists that shrouded the palace of Whitehall down by the Thames. William had a weak chest, and we know its exact puny dimensions because his little red silk vest remains to this day at Kensington Palace in the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection. With Whitehall out, William and Mary began to look for somewhere else to live. Hampton Court was pleasant, but too far away. They needed a residence with good, dry, clean air, within easy reach of London.

Essential Moon Knight, Vol. 1 (Marvel Essentials) (edition 2006)
by Doug Moench (Writer), Bill Mantlo, Steven Grant, Frank Miller (Illustrator), Don Perlin (Illustrator) — 5 more, Mike Zeck (Illustrator), Jim Mooney (Illustrator), Jim Craig (Illustrator), Pablo Marcos (Illustrator), Gene Colan (Illustrator)
Work details
Essential Moon Knight, Volume 1 by Doug Moench (Writer)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I think I first encountered Moon Knight when he was with the West Coast Avengers. This was after his run as a solo character, first as a villain (or a tool of the villainous Committee in Werewolf By Night), then as a character who slowly built up enough of a following to rate his own book. Something about him spoke to me. At first he seemed like a Batman rip-off, but it soon became obvious that Marc Spector was his own man with his own motivations. The similarities between the Moon Knight and the Dark Knight were primarily cosmetic.
This Essentials volume collects the first adventures of the Moon Knight, we see him hired by the Committee to hunt down Jack Russell, his continued story as he takes down the next crime lord to cause him trouble, and his team-up with the Thing before he gets his own Marvel Preview story (high-quality, longer format, magazine-style book that was used as a testing ground for new characters, unique stories, and secondary characters that were being considered for bigger things). It rounds up with the first 10 issues of the first Moon Knight monthly series.
The Essentials collections are a great way to read some of the older issues of great Marvel comics. I highly recommend this one for fans of vigilante heroes, crime stories, or just really good storytelling in comics.

Doesn't look like regular coke---it's flaky instead of grainy, it's sparkly instead of dull, and it's slightly yellow-grey instead of being plain white. Good shit, since 1 gram = ~12 lines. Numbs all the way down and gives you a case of the chills.
That fishscale we got last night was the bomb.

My clinical practice has involved caring for patients and families at Level I Trauma Centers. It happened together with the development of trauma systems in the U.S. I marvel at all the progress that has occurred in the field of trauma care.
Clinical interests include technology and error reduction, breaking bad news, evidence-based practice, and clinical competency.
My research explored use of technology and technology acceptance related to health promotion and risk reduction. The focus was mercury toxicity. My interest has expanded to include safety of the food supply and food allergy as chronic illness.

Melina's youtube video's
Ok I just gotta say she is the biggest air head I have ever seen, I cringe every time i see one of her vids. Her latest one when she was talking about finding the WSU, omg the way she talked about getting to wrestle someone she always wanted to and the way she said "its Serena" with her big goofy smile and bug eyes blinking trying to look so angelic and sweet as a fucking baby rabbit just made me a little nauseous. Who the hell is she trying to fool? everyone knows she was a big locker room slut and real bitch backstage but in these lame ass youtube vids she just talks so soft and smiles and tries to sound like the most loving care free woman alive while tilting her head and smiling.
If any of you have seen her vids you know what I mean about her fucking happy sweet airhead attitude. I don't buy it for a second, this is the bitch that got pissed that Trish was tagging with Morrison instead of her and threw a hissy fit. Now someone that does that and sleeps with half the locker room is not that fucking sweet and innocent and so soft spoken like she appears in her video's.
Re: Melina's youtube video's
Did she blow your boyfriend?
Re: Melina's youtube video's
Have you ever met her to know what she's really like? No? Thought not.
On a lesser note, it's "videos" not "video's", that would instigate that her one single video is something, something that you didn't care to share in your post.
Re: Melina's youtube video's
Thanks for you're comments guys, and thanks for the grammar lesson teach. I just know a bitch when i see one if you don't agree fine.
Re: Melina's youtube video's
Since when did she become a "locker room slut"?
As big as Batista is, he and Morrison do not constitute "half the locker room".
Re: Melina's youtube video's
She slept with other guys while she dated, Morrison.
Re: Melina's youtube video's
BATISTA is the locker room slut.
And a Hell of a guy for it, too.
Re: Melina's youtube video's
The male wrestlers are bigger sluts than the divas.
Re: Melina's youtube video's
Re: Melina's youtube video's
Morrison gave her permission though. I hope he was sleeping with other women.

text: I checked my bees today since it made it into the 60's the last couple of days. My fist indication that something was wrong was when I removed my entrance reducer to see if there were many dead bees. There weren't many but there was about a 1/4 inch of what looked like dried bread crumbs. When I opened the top the cluster was top center and about the size of both my fists put together and there were no bees in the bottom hive body. Plenty of honey was visible in the top body. Mostly dark brown empty comb in the bottom body. As a first year bee keeper I wasn't sure what to make of this? I'm assuming I need to start over in the spring. This is my only hive...any advise?

Confirmed: Men who struggle with instructions half as likely as women to ask for help
The survey also revealed that more than a quarter of us (26 per cent) have our Christmas day spoiled by frustrations of struggling with complicated instruction manuals.
And one in five will lose their temper because they don't have batteries to get gadgets up and running.
Mothers struggle more than anyone in the family with getting to grips with new gadgets, with a quarter saying they're baffled by new technology.
But they're also the most likely to ask for help. Half say they're prepared to turn to a family member for assistance – unlike their male counterparts who are too embarrassed to ask for help.
One should only refer to the manual after breaking the gadget! Anything else is too wussy.
OldEnglish on December 25, 2011 at 11:04 PM
Y'know, I do not get frustrated with "complicated" instructions. I get frustrated when the instructions are some poorly-conceived MSPAINT diagram that is intuitive only to the Chinese factory workers who designed them…
What's that old saying? Temper gets you into trouble and pride keeps you there.

I skip the frustration. My baby got her Christmas presents about three weeks ago, they all work perfectly. My wife will get hers sometime next month when they are in stock and she already know how to make it work, because she researched it well in advance.
Christmas is really about your connection to god, and looking at myself, the internet! It is not and I will not make it out to be about material presents that can be given any time for no better reason than because.
Jeddite on December 25, 2011 at 11:05 PM
No s***. My mother in law got a cheap digital camera that came with three AA batteries. Unfortunately, they took AAA. Then when I put the right batteries in it the damn thing wouldn't turn on. So I went to the manual and couldn't find any reason for this. I surmised that it was because there was no SD card. Sure enough she found the packaging and it said on the outside that it needed a SD card "(not included)" to function.
Men don't ask for help because the people who would help them are women who have just asked them to put together the gadget they can't figure out.
Instruction manuals make good tinder.
1. Roll them up.
2. Place them under kindling beneath fireplace logs.
3. Ignite.
4. Enjoy a cheerful Xmas blaze.
profitsbeard on December 25, 2011 at 11:17 PM
If I'm at my wits end I'll ask for help, but I find a lot of enjoyment in trying to figure things out on my own.

I remember when I was a kid my Dad bought this little steamer pot for my Mom. It was inexpensive, made in Japan, and required assembly. It was pretty simple and the instructions were clearly written, which wasn't always true in those days. It was mostly, 'insert knob A into pot top B' and insert handle C into pot bottom D'. The final instruction was the one that sent us all into convulsions of laughter. It simply said, "Now, screw it all up."
trigon on December 25, 2011 at 11:22 PM
If you have to read the instructions to get it to work, it's poorly designed, and you don't want it anyway.

My Christmas day was spoiled by having to sit with my father and listen to him rant about the need for socialism, social justice, and higher taxes on the 1% rich who own all the wealth, and then for him to call me a "republican" who watches FOX news when I dare suggest that the "rich" already pay most the income taxes. All this while his new $70,000 BMW SUV was parked outside.
Man, do I hate Christmas.

These polls should be qualified with the country of origin.
In this case, the "men" being questioned come from a country that thinks:
1. Cap and Trade taxes, no problem.
2. VAT, no problem.
3. Paying into a government healthcare system that may or may not pay for your medical care, no problem.
4. Monarchy, that you bow to and support with your tax dollars, if you dare to have a job.
I don't live in that country, so I don't care if they can't operate independently on their own. I don't expect them to.

It does no good to ask for help. There is nobody anywhere near you who knows anything more about the device than you. Nor is there a soul who could be bribed into tackling that chore.
When you finally get a person on the manufacturer's "Help Line", you are talking to some minimum wage slave who can read the script book. Eventually you two agree that the device is FUBAR. Twice in the last two months: first a cell phone then a thermostat.
With a D'rat administration, faulty stuff is almost enough to drive this ol' man postal. Fortunately, God made people who make beer.

Spent the evening last night with young Federalist trying to get the game recorder he requested working with his game console and computer. Strike one, it is Windows only — fortunately we do have on Windows machine in the house and were able to move it next to the game console and TV. Was hoping to get it to work with his Mac.
Unfortunately, youngF is very impatient and doesn't like reading instruction manuals. We are working on that, but it was still not a pleasant evening.

Thanks. My dad is a real killjoy. It hurts when your own father, from whom you expect wisdom, or at least a live-and-let-live mellowness of an 80 year-old, is not just beholden to a discredited worldview, but needs to preach it at a Christmas table, and then holds his own son in contempt for not buying into it.

The RTC has been designated by the state legislature as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) as required by federal law for transportation in Washoe County. This vital and important role in our community helps Northern Nevada compete at the federal level for public dollars for transportation in our community. RTC works with local cities and regional government planning agencies to anticipate and plan for the future of our Truckee Meadows home.
The Planning Department also conducts corridor studies, dissemination of regional transportation information, air quality analysis and development review services in addition to other tasks.
The future of Northern Nevada depends on the transportation network of roads, streets, highways and public transportation. The RTC Planning Department anticipates, forecasts and plans for the transportation needs of today, tomorrow and the future. Through efforts of the Planning Department, the community's visions for all modes of transportation is put into plans.
Planning is responsible for development and preparation of the region's long-range Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the short-range transportation plan Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP).

North Valleys Regional Multimodal Transportation Study
This North Valleys Regional Multimodal Transportation Study is to identify transportation needs and alternate transportation improvements for regional roads in the North Valleys area. The study focuses on traffic operations analysis and improvements, safety improvements, pedestrian and bicycle connectivity and transit service needs.
Questions or comments please, contact Xuan Wang, RTC Project Manager at: email@example.com
Complete Streets Master Plan
The purpose of the Complete Streets Master Plan is to identify the RTC's long range strategy for Complete Street treatments in the Reno‑Sparks metropolitan area. The plan will include:
· A comprehensive analysis of multimodal safety issues relating to complete street designs
· Assessment of the impact to traffic capacity and operations of the roadway network as a result of complete streets
· A long range plan for future complete street treatments in the region
· Public outreach through multiple community workshops and other outreach activities
Complete Streets can include a variety of elements and are designed to improve safety and accommodate local land use characteristics. Some of the potential components of Complete Streets can include sidewalks, bike lanes, shared use paths, enhanced crosswalks, reduction in the number of travel lanes, and bus stops. Because each Complete Streets design is customized to meet corridor needs, not all of these elements will be present in each Complete Streets design.

Sun Valley Boulevard Corridor Study
The RTC, in partnership with Washoe County and the Nevada Department of Transportation, conducted a planning study of the Sun Valley Boulevard Corridor. The study looked at how to improve all modes of travel – pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and cars, on Sun Valley between Scottsdale Road and Highland Ranch Parkway.
Click here to view the final report that was approved by the RTC Board on February 20, 2015.
The Keystone Corridor Study was designed to identify and evaluate potential multimodal transportation improvements on Keystone Avenue. This study identified a strategy for developing Complete Streets improvements that was coordinated with adjacent plans and existing land use and redevelopment projects with an emphasis on safety.
NDOT's Bridge Program provided information for the study on existing conditions and needs for future projects on Keystone Bridge. The corridor study area was from California Avenue, in the south, to McCarran Drive, in the north, and Booth Street from Riverside Drive to California Avenue. Also, limits included: California Avenue from Cherry Lane to Newlands Circle and Foster Drive from Booth Street to Keystone Avenue.Significant areas of focus were: safety for all modes, bicycle, pedestrian and ADA counts, traffic operations and efficiencies, transit services, infrastructure for alternative modes, and integration with land use plans. Plan development was based on community outreach events and collaboration with the City of Reno and other agencies as appropriate and planning-level design of roadway improvement options.
The study was adopted by the RTC Board and is slated for construction in late July 2015.

The RTC invited the community to provide comments and ideas on the future of Virginia Street as part of the Virginia Street Bus RAPID Transit Extension Project. Two meetings were held for the public to review preliminary designs for Virginia Street. The designs featured proposed improvements for Virginia Street from Maple Street to 15th Street near the University of Nevada, Reno and from Liberty Street to Plumb Lane in Midtown.
The proposed enhancements include: wider sidewalks, new bike lanes and extending RAPID bus service north to UNR with new transit stations and intersection improvements. The project is also intended to better connect the University to Downtown Reno and Downtown to points south including Midtown. The extension of RTC RAPID would eliminate the need for a transfer at RTC 4TH STREET STATION to UNR, saving travelers' valuable time. The project will also support economic growth and redevelopment along Virginia Street and throughout the region. Additionally, it will help create a safer community that is accessible to everyone under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
For more information on this project, go to http://virginiastreetrapidextension.com.

The RTC in partnership with the City of Reno and the University of Nevada, Reno completed a corridor investment plan for Virginia Street from North McCarran Boulevard to the base of the Mt. Rose Highway. The purpose of this study is to conduct a multimodal analysis (pedestrian, bicycle, transit and automobile) for potential transportation improvements on Virginia Street that can also support economic development efforts within the corridor. The RTC began the study in March 2013 and the project team met with stakeholders along the corridor to create awareness about the study and gather input. The study identifies recommendations for increasing mobility options, improving safety and addressing parking needs. Corridor stakeholders include the City of Reno, UNR, business owners, retail centers, gaming properties, and the general public.
Public participation and input was essential to completing the study. In July, the RTC conducted an online and digital survey to gather public input on topics about travel patterns, corridor amenities and transportation needs along Virginia Street. Other outreach activities included community meetings, open house events and one-on-one meetings with stakeholders. The information received from the surveys and community planning workshops helped shape the vision of Virginia Street. It helped determine the types of improvements the community would like to have to make Virginia Street safer and more accessible for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users and motorists. In turn, these improvements will stimulate economic prosperity for the region.
The plan identifed short and long term improvements and a funding and implementation strategy. The outcome of the study will be incorporated into the Regional Transportation Plan and the Regional Transportation Improvement Program. A study database has been developed for interested individuals and business owners to receive info about event notifications, request information or ask questions. This is an opportunity to share your ideas, comments and concerns to help the RTC study team and stakeholders develop a base of community preferences for analysis and discussion. Contact RTC Project Manager, Doug Maloy at firstname.lastname@example.com to add your name. Although the plan has been completed, there will be many additional opportunities to participate in development of this project as RTC continues with environmental and engineering studies.

The Regional Transportation Commission is conducting a multi-modal study on the Sparks Boulevard Corridor from Greg Street to Pyramid Highway. The purpose of this study is to identify potential multimodal transportation (bicycle, pedestrian, transit and auto) improvements in the corridor. When the study is complete, short and long term improvements will be identified as well as a funding plan and a strategy for implementation.
An open house was held on February 20, 2014. To view the information provided at the open house, click here.
The Regional Transportation Commission conducted a study to evaluate potential transportation improvements along Mill Street between Lake Street and Terminal Way, and Terminal Way between Plumb Lane and Mill Street. The purpose of this study was to identify and evaluate potential multi-modal transportation improvements that coordinate effectively with adjacent planned and existing land use, and future redevelopment. The study identified existing and future conditions along the corridor, including traffic analysis, safety issues, right-of-way, land use, transit, bicycles, pedestrians, and access control. The RTC Board approved the study on May 19, 2013.
Work is currently underway on the 30% design and NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) permitting for a portion of the corridor from Evans Avenue to Pyramid Way. The design team is busily collecting additional information and data in the corridor, including soils and environmental analysis, as well as right-of-way and topographic mapping. This information will greatly inform engineers and designers as they continue to refine the roadway alignment design for the various proposed street cross sections within this segment of the corridor.
