Current Model For Breast Cancer Risk Prediction In African American Women Underestimates Risk
The study, published online in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, was led by Deborah Boggs, ScD, postdoctoral associate at Slone and the study's corresponding author.
The Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool, also known as the Gail model, is used to estimate a woman's breast cancer risk and to determine eligibility for breast cancer prevention trials. The Gail model was developed based on data from white women but has been found to underestimate breast cancer risk in African American women. Researchers had previously modified the Gail model using data from African American women in the Women's Contraceptive and Reproductive Experiences (CARE) study and had validated the CARE model among postmenopausal African American women between the ages of 50 and 79.
In this study, researchers tested the CARE model among both premenopausal and postmenopausal women using data from the Black Women's Health Study (BWHS), an ongoing follow-up study of 59,000 African American women from across the U.S. The investigators focused on 45,942 women who were 30 to 69 years old and free of cancer at the beginning of the study. They found that the CARE model accurately predicted the number of breast cancers that would occur among women who had given birth before the age of 25 but was a less accurate predictor among women who first gave birth at a later age, underestimating the number of breast cancers in this group by 29 percent.
Whereas a woman's age at first birth is used in the Gail model for white women, this factor is not used in the CARE model for African American women. The researchers conclude that age at first birth may be an important factor to include in a risk model for African American women in order to better predict breast cancer risk for women with a later age at first birth.
The authors also found that the CARE model, similar to other breast cancer risk prediction models, is not a reliable tool to predict a woman's individual risk of developing breast cancer. Additionally, it was less effective at predicting, at the individual level, ER-negative breast cancer than ER-positive breast cancer.
The authors conclude that there is a need to develop a better risk model for ER-negative breast cancer, a subtype that is associated with a poorer prognosis than ER-positive tumors and that is more commonly diagnosed in African American women than in white women.
Funding for this study was provided by a Susan G. Komen for the Cure Postdoctoral Fellowship under grant award #KG111112 (PI: Lynn Rosenberg; Fellow: Deborah Boggs) and the National Cancer Institute under grant award #CA058420 (PI: Lynn Rosenberg).

Johanson calls recent Dmanisi discovery 'mind-boggling'
October 22, 2013
Variation of the type found in a new series of 1.8-million-year-old skulls discovered in Dmanisi, Georgia – an area between the Caspian and Black Seas – is not unusual in our species, says Donald Johanson, founding director of ASU's Institute of Human Origins. The discovery, however, is in a totally unanticipated place and may revolutionize our ideas of when and why our ancestors left Africa.
Providing expert analysis and commentary on the PBS News Hour on Oct. 18, Johanson points to this discovery as a possible first exploration of our genus outside of Africa; "man the explorer – part of what it means to be human," he said.

text: Hello all, I ran out of options to solve the following problem and I need your advice. After return from standby or hibernating the network and internet connection did not re-establish. The eventviewer ( I typed "eventvwr.exe" in the "Run" window) shows that the DHCP server( which's my router) does not provide an IP address for that computer. Other PC's ( 4 ) in the network are working well and showing not that behaviour and 2 of them are also on Win7. I tried: - static IP adress -> no success - checked the router and the belonging address range -> no success - disabling network adapter ( Network IC) in hardware manager when returning from standby -> works - then re-enabling network adapter in hardware manager when returning from standby -> failure, Win7 freezes, hard boot - same behaviour when I try with MPstandby handler and external batch file. - in command console I tried different "powercfg" commands - latest driver for network adapter - unchecked in properties tab" this device can wake up...." -> no success Network adapter can be disabled and enabled in hardware manager once a network connection is established but not when returning from Standby/Hibernate neither manually in hw manager nor with batch files using devcon.exe Another strange behaviour: from normal boot the name of the network connection is "Lan-Verbindung" ( in English OS it is just "network") . But after return from sleep/standby the name changes into "Lan-Verbindung 2" ( or in English OS it would be "network 2") Any other ideas ? I've searched and searched.... Thanks. ieb

It seems that the header of the stored field is read incorrectly at the buffer boundary in MultiMMapDir and then FieldsReader just incorrectly detects a deflate-compressed field (CompressionTools). > The error occurs reproducible on CheckIndex with MMapDirectory, but not with NIODir or SimpleDir. The FDT file of that segment is 2.6 GiB, on Solaris the chunk size is Integer.MAX_VALUE, so we have 2 MultiMMap IndexInputs. > Robert and me have the index ready as a tar file, we will do tests on our local machines and hopefully solve the bug, maybe introduced by Robert's recent changes to MMap. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Today's image comes to you from the Painted Desert in northern Arizona in the U.S.:
The Painted Desert is a swath of badlands covering over 93,000 acres, and stretching over 160 miles in length. It was given its popular name by the colonial spanish, who were impressed by the colors of the soil and rocks here — these colors coming courtesy of a variety of mineral deposits laid down hundreds of millions of years ago. At the time, much of this land was under water.
BTW, if you really want to appreciate this image, you need to see it large.

Turkmenistan is one of the world's most repressive countries, with an abysmal human rights record. Elected to a third term in 2017, President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, his relatives and their associates control all aspects of public life. The government thoroughly denies freedoms of association, expression, and religion and the country is closed to independent scrutiny. The fate of dozens of people imprisoned during waves of arrests in the late 1990s and early 2000s remains unknown even to their relatives and several deaths of victims of enforced disappearance have been reported. Amendments to the constitution in 2016 did not provide adequate safeguards to protect fundamental rights and freedoms. The clampdown on the handful of independent journalists in Turkmenistan has significantly intensified.

Rocket City Cycle Belles
Founded in 2012 by Grace Ragland and Jana Payne, who have been friends since college and began mountain biking together around 2003, the Rocket City Cycle Belles (RCCB) is a grass-roots women-only group for women interested in anything bike. Whether you've been thinking about taking up cycling or you're a die-hard competitor, we encourage you to jump in and share the passion. Here's what our founders and members are saying:
"I would like to see our community safer. And when more people are involved, the need for bike lanes gets noticed. There's strength in numbers." -Grace Ragland, who despite having been diagnosed with muscular sclerosis as a teen, has excelled and become a nationally known mountain bike racer.
"One of our common bonds is our love for cycling, mountain and road. We recognized a need for an all-women's group. You know, we thought an all-women's group would present a presumably less intimidating and competitive atmosphere for women cyclists on all levels of the sport." -Jana Payne
"It's all women in all stages of cycling. Some are novices and some are pros, but it doesn't matter." -Melissa Wood
No top-of-the-line fancy equipment required - just the desire to ride your bike. We encourage you to share your knowledge on our Facebook page; ask questions, post group ride info, ANYTHING that has to do with biking! We would love to see cool articles, pictures, equipment for sale, or spin class info. Even if you just want to have coffee and talk bike, please join us. The purpose of this group is to offer a safe and encouraging environment for women in every phase of cycling.
RCCB offers weekly all-women road and mountain bike rides for riders of varying levels throughout the warmer months of the year, socials year-round, and spin classes/support during those frigid winter months when it's a little daunting to get outside!

Shah Zaib Hossain was crossing the road outside a mosque where he had just been for prayers with his family on Monday afternoon.
He was walking behind his uncle and in front of his father when a car hit him, throwing him into the air.
Shaking his head, the boy's father Javid Hossain said: "We said our prayers and my son was in front of me, just a few steps away.
"He'd not even put his foot on the footpath and he was hurled into the air.
"I knew then he was gone. My son's gone."
Shah died in hospital a short time after the incident, which happened on Moss Street West at the junction with Mowbray Street in Ashton-under-Lyne in Greater Manchester.
His father added: "He was a lovely boy, caring boy. Always happy, jolly, just caring really. Lovely boy."
The car involved, believed to be a dark grey or black Mercedes A or B class, did not stop at the scene.
Shah's mother, Kanwal Hossain, was also at the mosque at the time.
She heard the collision and went outside to find her son in the road.
The imam of Mosque Hamza, Shayful Islam, told the Manchester Evening News the "whole community is in shock and praying for the family".
He said the boy "quite happily came out of the mosque. As he crossed the road there was a car driving at a really fast speed and he got run over".
Abrar Ahmed, who works at a tyre shop close to the scene, told the paper: "The car went straight past our place really fast.
"It knocked the little boy over and he went flying up into the air."
He added: "I went to help him, but he was gone. He was helpless."
Three men have been arrested in connection with the collision.
The suspects, including a 19-year-old, were detained on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
Two of them handed themselves in to officers at Ashton-under-Lyne police station. A third man was arrested.
One of them was also detained on suspicion of driving while unfit through drink or drugs.

I have a script (I downloaded somewhere online) that adds a null to a selected object in the OM and it renames it using the object name. It's called null and name. I am wondering if there is a script that goes further and moves that new null out from being a child of that selected object and becomes the parent for that object while also retaining the same PSR coordinates of the selected object. Or, if a script could be made or modify the script I have to do what I just described.
Never mind. I found the script at Bret's website. Group Each.
Thank you Bret

It isn't just the fans that expect so much. The players, coaching staff, everyone associated with Florida football has expected a strong season this year and expected things maybe to go a little smoother than they have. Still, the team is 7-0, beat a Mississippi State team in Starkville for the first time since 1985, and has done the rare deed of going undefeated against SEC Western division foes. Add to it that they are still continuing a school record 17 game winning streak, and there is a lot to be excited about.
"It was a pretty good win," David Nelson told the media after his team beat the Bulldogs. "It was a total team win. Defense did some things well, offense did some things well...we still have to score in the red zone and we have to concentrate on that this week. We have a tough opponent coming up in Georgia and we have to get ready for them this week."
"Anytime you get a win you are happy. Against a former coach and one that meant a great deal to us...it was a fun game and fun environment."
The issue for these Gators has been scoring points. Florida's red zone offense is as bad as it has been under Urban Meyer and on Saturday the Gators were only able to punch in two touchdowns on seven trips inside the red zone. There are various things contributing to0 this matter and the team, including Nelson knows it is something that has to be dealt with.
"We are going to have to look at film, but it is different week to week," Nelson answered as to why there are issues. "Today it just seemed we couldn't figure out the defense in the red zone. Give them credit. Coach Mullen knows a lot of things that we do. He did a great job with that and we just have to do a better job."
"We are going to fix it. We have a great coaching staff and great players and we are going to fix it. It is something we are really going to focus on."
One theory bandied about is that quarterback Tim Tebow might be putting too much on his own shoulders and pressing to do too much to score. Urban Meyer said after the game that he as a coach is pressing in the play calling. Nelson believes that Tebow has to have some leeway.
"I wouldn't say Tim is pressing," Nelson said. "He is a phenomenal player. He is capable of making a big play every time he touches the ball. When he springs it, we try and block for him. He is an unbelievable player and competitor and he is doing what he needs to do to get the win. We won and are 7-0."
One issue Meyer talked about after the game is outside influences getting involved and causing dissension among the ranks while the offense tries to figure things out. There is no need to derail a 7-0 and No. 1 ranked team by turning on each other. Meyer said it has not been a problem at all, but he wants to make sure to ward it off before something could arise.
"There are a lot of things coming at us from a lot of different angles...from the media, the fans, from the opponents, internally, externally, there are people coming at us from all directions," Nelson said. "The number one thing that will hurt us is us blaming each other. The main thing is we need to stick together and fend for ourselves. We need to get each other's back and stand behind each other."
The game was tight for three quarters when the Gators made a little run and built a little comfort zone with back to back touchdowns. According to nelson, the team was never worried about the score, just focused on the task at hand.
"You have to know something about us, we don't really get scared," he said. "We don't ever start doubting. They scored, it is time for us to go score now. We have a lot of seniors on this team...been through some tough times and battles. When we came in the locker room (at half), we came in a little frustrated because we knew we should have had seven points there. It just gives us that more of a reason to get this thing going."
Nelson showed a little frustration on the first red zone failure. After a third down that went unsuccessful, he threw his hands in the air in that frustration. Seemingly open on the play, nelson was more mad that the Gators didn't finish what they started and what they had been focused on all week, which was getting better production in the red zone.
"As a competitor you want the ball in your hands," he said. "Receivers always feel like we are open and always telling the coaches that even when we aren't. I was frustrated because we couldn't put it in the end zone. Sure, I want catches, but at the same time I want to score touchdowns."
Nelson was part of a special teams effort that accounted for a blocked punt and a missed fake punt in the game for Mississippi State. It was Nelson that stayed at home on a fake punt and caused the ball carrier to fall on his face deep in MSU territory. No doubt the bulldogs scouted the special teams well and noticed that Nelson was playing in place of the usual starter Wondy Pierre-Louis who was out with an injury at that point in the game.
"I didn't see it," Nelson said of the initial fake and hand off. "Wondy was there the entire season and he went down early in the game. He had been there the entire game, so I was in his position. It was the first time I had been out there and in that position, but I just saw my guy blocking down and I saw the guy in the backfield coming around, so I just did what I could to make a play."
Nelson Knows Improvement is needed

Loan Officers get schooled on Kiva
By Leah Gage, KF10, HOPE Ukraine
A couple weeks ago HOPE Ukraine invited me to their bi-annual national conference to give a presentation about Kiva. This is the sort of thing Kiva Fellows dream about. Fourteen seated and listening loan officers, whose sole purpose is to sit and listen to you talk about Kiva?! Obviously I jumped at the chance to take my third night train trip to Kiev to generally explain the ever-confusing Kiva "concept" to these hard-working individuals.
My job was made more difficult by my utter lack of Russian language skills, and my teeny-tiny awkward stance in a room full of burly Ukrainian loan officer dudes. But I found that everyone was really engaged in the presentation. They had lots of questions. After going over topics like gaining consent to take a client's photograph and post it on the internet and strategies for gathering compelling borrower profiles and journal updates, to my dismay I realized that these loan officers did not understand how or why Kiva works.
Most interactions between Kiva lenders and borrowers are relayed by the loan officer, an often invisible but hugely important player in Kiva's operations. They're inundated with Kiva-related requests – "turn in 4 borrower profiles by the end of the month;" "take better photos that clearly show your reluctant client's face;" "try to get her to smile!" "ask more questions about your client's personal life and tell us how the loan helped pull your client out of poverty!" The loan officer is the person who takes the photo you see, who gathers the information you read, who manages the borrower's loan progress and makes sure you get paid back. Without the loan officer, Kiva simply would not function.
And yet, these guys did not know what Kiva was.
"Who are the Kiva lenders?" Well, anybody, I said. "What do you mean, anybody?" someone asked. Anyone can go on Kiva and make a loan. "Could I go on Kiva and make a loan?" Of course! "Is my client allowed to see her profile?" Yes! I encourage you to show it to her. "What's the website again?" www.kiva.org "So how much do lenders make in interest?" They don't make money off the loan. "Do they get paid back?" Yes, usually! "How?" Well, do you know what paypal is…?? (see "cycle of love," above)
They were especially intrigued with the idea that Kiva lenders make loans for no profit whatsoever. I felt this was especially important to rephrase and explain to the loan officers. Kiva lenders do make a profit, I told them, but they don't want money. Instead, they profit from the stories you tell and the photos you take. This helped explain to the loan officer just why I'm so curious about Nataliya's dream to be an artist or whether Ludmila's business helped put her son through university. These guys didn't get what I meant when I kept asking them for "compelling stories."
I'll admit, the concept didn't sink in for everyone. A lot of these guys think very much in numbers. It's what makes them good loan officers with low rates of delinquency. Lending for stories is maybe not the most sound investment…
But several of the guys I talked to were so intrigued by this idea that anyone can make a loan to one of their clients on Kiva. At HOPE Ukraine, the loan officers take pride in getting to know each of their 100+ clients personally, so the fact that you, faithful Kiva lender, chose their client over any other made them feel pretty proud. And the "stickiness" of Kiva started to catch on – "connecting through lending" is not such a bad concept, after all.
Most loan officers' incomes are not so far off from some of the clients they serve, so I can't say for sure if any of the loan officers I met will be making a Kiva loan anytime soon. If and when it happens I promise to blog about it. If we had internet access in the presentation hall (which was a church classroom), I would have made one right then and there.
The next week when I went to Kamenka to visit greenhouse farmers, Yuryi the loan officer remembered me and knew the kinds of questions I was going to ask. He seemed to understand that I wanted to gain an understanding of the borrowers we went to meet and their businesses that went beyond loan repayment rates. He willingly spent hours with me and my interpreter while we were invited into house after house for Armenian coffee, Ukrainian Borsh, and Russian vodka. And he made sure to remind me when I forgot to ask certain questions of the borrowers that I had asked him like about certain farming methods or why Volodya and his family came to Ukraine from Armenia in the first place.
I've found interactions like these to be a great insight into just how remarkable Kiva is, and how reliant the process is on the Loan Officer. Remember the loan officer next time you make a loan on Kiva. As important as it was for the loan officers to understand Kiva lenders and why they lend, it's perhaps equally important for Kiva lenders to understand how its possible for them to even make a loan to a borrower in the first place. It's largely because of the loan officer. Chances are he was on the other side of that camera, possibly coaxing the borrower to smile a bit bigger or spending another minute to ask just one more question to create a more "compelling" borrower profile.
Special thanks to Sam Kendall who took all the photos during the presentation and who coined the phrase "Kiva Circle of Love"
Make a HOPE Ukraine loan officer proud today! To learn more about HOPE Ukraine, consider joining the HOPE Ukraine lending team.

One of the main objectives of APEX ratings is to describe 'the frequency with which' sires get runners which rank in certain percentile groups of earners in a calendar year or racing season: 'A Runners' rank in the top 2%; 'B Runners' in the next 2%; 'C Runners' in the next 4%; and therefore 'ABC [...][ Read More ]
Coolmore's Galileo, who must now rank as one of the all-time great sires, now has his 11th crop of 3-year-olds racing. At a time when many sires of his age are commencing to fade, Galileo might be stronger than ever; at least that's what the new run of the Midyear 2016 APEX figures suggest. Covering [...][ Read More ]
APEX (Annual Progeny Earnings indeX) ratings are based on the percentage of runners which achieve certain earnings thresholds, which means sires with the highest number of runners are usually at a disadvantage when evaluated by this type of measurement. So the enormity of the achievement by Coolmore's flagship sire, Galileo, in scoring the highest A [...][ Read More ]
Through racing of July 5, when we ran the Midyear APEX data, a North American racehorse needed to have earned just over $40,000 thus far in 2015 to qualify as a Midyear 'C Runner', and just over $83,000 to qualify as a Midyear 'A Runner'; you can see the amounts (converted to US$) for the [...][ Read More ]
Last week we took a look at the Top 50 North American and European sires by APEX A Runner Index (click here), using new Midyear 2015 data, meaning from 1/1/2009 through 7/5/2015. A particular note about this, if you will refer to the table on page five of last Wednesday's paper, is that the earnings [...][ Read More ]
At the end of 2014, Coolmore's Galileo had finally ascended to the top of the list of North American and European sires by A Runner Index, with a 4.09 rating (8.18% of his 1,822 year-starters 2008-2014), just slightly ahead of Claiborne's War Front (4.02). Now, halfway through 2015, War Front (3.98) has edged ahead of [...][ Read More ]
By Bill Oppenheim It's been a hard road to the top of the APEX charts for Coolmore's Galileo, the consensus world number one. It's one thing to be the top sire in North America and Europe by progeny earnings on the TDN General Sire List three straight years (2012-2014), while siring 60-some black-type horses a year, [...][ Read More ]
When you see that Coolmore=s top sire, Galileo, had 66 black-type horses (BTH) last year, of which 50 were graded/group stakes horses (GSH), it's not surprising he's also the leading 2014 North American or European sire of APEX ABC Runners. To review, a horse becomes an ABC Runner (meaning A Runner, or B Runner, or [...][ Read More ]
Last week we looked at the top 50 sires with 200+ year-starters ('runners') 2008-2014 by the signature APEX A Runner Index. This week we'd like to look at three more Top 50's, as well as sires with first foals 2010 (4-year-olds of 2014) and 2011 (3-year-olds of 2014). As we mentioned last week, when you [...][ Read More ]

By Mike McCarthy, USA TODAY
Michael Hiestand and Mike McCarthy debate the changes in the Monday Night Football booth and how they would improve the broadcast:
Hey, Mike, promoting ex-NFL quarterback Ron Jaworski to the Monday Night Football booth in place of Joe Theismann is not the answer. The most important ingredient for a broadcast team is on-air chemistry, not whether somebody played in the league 20 years ago.
The problem with the Theismann-Tony Kornheiser-Mike Tirico booth team last season was they had none, zero, nada. Watching them was painful at times. Uncle Tony would crack a joke; Theismann wouldn't laugh. When Theismann started to bloviate, Kornheiser didn't have the football chops to challenge him.
COUNTERPOINT: Hiestand says Jaworski move is on the money
If ESPN wants to generate sparks, why not promote Kornheiser's on-air sparring partner, Michael Wilbon? As co-hosts of Pardon the Interruption, Wilbon and Kornheiser have the best chemistry of any sports talkers. Wilbon knows the NFL better than Kornheiser. Teamed with Tirico and sideline reporters Michele Tafoya and Suzy Kolber, they could bring excitement to the best games and humor to the blowouts.
Who says ex-players and coaches have a divine right to these jobs? That's the kind of "jockocracy" MNF godfather Howard Cosell decried.
Jaworski is ESPN's best pure X's and O's analyst. Nobody breaks down game film better than Jaws. For many football fans like me, Sunday really begins with NFL Matchup with Jaworski, Sal Paolantonio and Merril Hoge at 8:30 a.m. ET.
But if they wanted to go in that direction, they should have sacked Kornheiser. If not, why try to gin up chemistry between Jaworski and Kornheiser when you've already got it between Wilbon and Kornheiser?
You can't fool fans. They know it when they see it. Longtime Fox NFL Sunday partners Terry Bradshaw and Howie Long exhibited more chemistry in their Sugar Bowl telecast last season than some TV crews do all season. You can't force-feed it. With James Brown jumping to CBS, Fox tried to shoehorn Joe Buck into Fox's veteran pregame crew of Bradshaw, Long and Jimmy Johnson while taking the show on the road. Didn't work. Now Curt Menefee will try to fill the traffic cop role handled by Brown for so well, so long.
MNF should first and last be about football. But if pairing the quirky Kornheiser with an ex-NFL quarterback didn't work last season, what makes you think it will work this time?

- September 2016: If you've found us in the Seattle Weekly's transit article, Welcome! Also, some updates in chapter 1 adding Makah and Quileute commuity shuttles.
- April 2016: Olympics North. In the summer of 2015, work on the removal of the dams on the Elwha River was completed, and the roads paralleling the river were reopened for car and foot travel (that's us!). Note Well: This information will affect D: Whiskey Bend, and E: Oly Hot Springs/Appleton Pass.
- June 2015: Pacific Crest Trail NEWS FLASH!! As of May 2015, Gorge Link Transit debuted WET (West End Transit) buses that shuttle between Fisher's Landing and Carson, opening up the area for Summer exploration.
How You Can Backpack the Cascades and Olympics from the Seattle Area, and Do it By Bus!
by Dave McBee
Seattle is uniquely positioned, surrounded closely by national parks and numerous national forest wildernesses. And we have public transit systems that range far enough and connect well enough that we can reach these recreational destinations on cheap public buses. These are public lands - there should be public access. And there is!
None of the trips mentioned here are day trips; you're spending at least half a day just getting there so plan on sticking around a while!
Why do this?
- You don't have a car.
- It's cheap: most of these trips will set you back less than ten bucks each way.
- It's environmentally friendly: you're not adding to global warming.
- If you're visiting our area on vacation, you won't have to rent a car, just to abandon it at a trailhead for several days.
- Not being tied to a car makes it easier to hike point-to-point (entering at one trailhead and exiting at another).
- You'll pick up more local color and information chatting with locals on buses than you ever would sitting in a car by yourself.
To be fair, I will now list all the reasons I can think of that you might not want to do this. Here's the downside: it's physically harder than driving a car to a trailhead.
- In most cases, to reach your destination you'll have to be on the first bus at the crack of dawn. Then it's off and back on a sequence of perhaps five or six buses, lugging your backpack with you every step of the way, until late afternoon. And then you start walking several miles of dusty, often steep access road... just to reach your chosen trailhead.
- Same thing coming back: you might have to break camp in the dark to get back to that first bus stop by the other crack of dawn, if need be.
- If the weather goes to crap, and it's now the weekend, and there's no bus service, you're pretty much stuck with it.
There. That's about as hard as it gets. Still interested?
I will give you all the distances involved; start with an easy one that suits your interest and abilities.
This site assumes
- you have basic backpacking experience,
- are in physical condition equal to the tasks and rigors involved, and
- have all the gear necessary for a safe and successful trip.
You'll still need to use your favorite trail guide books, as well as the pertinent topo maps. We will simply help you get from Seattle to within walking distance of a whole bunch of backpacking destinations.
If we haven't scared you off, see left sidebar for where we go....
- May 2015: North Fork Skokomish That wonderful (if only 3 mile) Lake Cushman Pilot bus got rescheduled such that it's no longer of any use to backpackers. It was short, but it took away 3 very steep miles up to the Cushman Plateau. Commuter-directional, it now works for them, but not at all for us.
- Sept 2014: Chapter 2 ONP Big Trees- Day trip from Seattle to hug an ancient giant. Platonically. Or not.
- May 2014: Chapter 1 ONP Coastal Strip- Southernmost 5 or so miles SO not worth it.
- April 2014: Chapter 4 Darrington, notes about the Oso mudslide. Chapter 5 E and F Lake Wenatchee & Mad River trips are currently undoable due to loss of bus service. Chapter 1, new notes on Whiskey Bend and Sol Duc.
- February 2014: Chapter 6 Packwood, Bus Stuff for revised (read: eliminated) bus routes for Gray's Harbor Transit.
- September 2013: New and slightly more helpful info on Ch 7 Mt. Rainier NP, including ranger station closure.
- May 2013: Revised Chapter 1, H&I- Olympic Nation Park Coastal Strip!
- April 2013: Added Chapter 7 - Pacific Crest Trail at Columbia River Gorge!
- September 2012: Added Section 3, Quilcene, Hamma Hamma and Skokomish! Funded for April '12-April '13, new bus service to Lake Cushman!
- August 2012: Section 1 Dungeness Forks / Buckhorn Wilderness revisited; new information to save you a good deal of trouble!
- June 2012: Updated maps, Dave's Field-tested latest trail updates for Chapter 2 Olympics South! Updated Trail Summary and Map Guide.
- Nov 2011: Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest Alternative Transportation Feasibility Study invites Dave, needs a better acronym, memorialized in most excellent illustration
- July 2011: Latest in Gear: Dave's tent bites the dust!

DLA Piper is stepping up its operations in Brazil, shortly after entering into a cooperation agreement with local firm Campos Mello Advogados (CMA).
Chicago-based partner and chair of the firm's Latin America practice Stuart Berkson and New York-based partner and global co-chair of the energy practice Robert Gruendel have both been licensed as foreign consultants by OAB-SP – the Sao Paulo bar assocation. The firm is also in the process of applying to become a foreign consultancy, enabling it to act on international aspects of Brazilian deals.
Associate firm CMA, which has its largest office in Rio de Janeiro, has been on a hiring spree to grow its operation in Sao Paulo – South America's largest city and Brazil's financial hub.
CMA has hired project finance partner Roberto Barros from Linklaters, three corporate partners from Machado Associados – René Gelman, Martim Machado and Adriano Chaves – and tax litigator Fernando Salvia, from an independent firm.
Berkson commented: "It's clear that as we were trying to work through the cooperation agreement [Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo] were cities where we needed to be present. CMA has always had a presence in Sao Paulo, [the cooperation agreement] gave them an incentive to move the process forward."

A Clock Against The Window
(an in-joke, don't worry if you don't get it).
Elorithryn watched with a smile as two women walked through her door. They were old friends, though she found them rather annoying at time. However, she was impeccably polite, as always. It was only with really close friends - people like Spook and Delorfinde, who were the best friends one could wish - that she really let her hair down and got in touch with her inner self.
But these two women were friendly enough. After all, she had invited them to tea. It was Wednesday. It always was.
Without even thinking about it, the two of them threw their clocks so that they landed perfectly on the hooks provided, and turned to Elorithryn.
"Oh, hallo! I haven't seen you in a while, how've you been?" Their host duly examined the clocks with sceptical interest. She wasn't sure she approved - her visitors kept changing their clocks far too often. She was happy with the one she was given for her eighteenth birthday.
"I see you've a new clock - Victorian? Tut, tut. You're going downhill, my dear." She paused, hurrying them inside away from the fierce window. "Come inside, do. I've a lake all ready for you.
"But yes, I've been fine. Of course, in the land of typos nothing is ever normal, but I daresay I'll manage. I've been finding it rather absurd recently - had you noticed? The papers are reporting a rising in the numbers of clocks in the country, and lakes are apparently all the rage at tea parties, or birthday celebrations."
"No, really?" Kate was shocked, but Gilda said nothing. "Well, well. These people must learn to touch-type."
"Indeed. And your clock, Elo? Still using the same one?" Gilda gestured to the battered silver alarm clock on the kitchen table, which was looking rather worse for the wear.
"Oh, yes. It may not look like much, but it keeps me warm and dry, and that's what matters."

Walker sets Friday as day of mourning for Newtown victims
Madison - Gov. Scott Walker is calling Friday a day of mourning to honor the victims of last week's school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
Walker called for a moment of silence to be observed around Wisconsin at 9:30 a.m. Friday to remember the 20 children and six educators who were shot by a gunman with a semi-automatic rifle.
"Gov. Dannel Malloy has called for a Day of Mourning in Connecticut and asks that states across the nation also remember the victims and their families in a moment of silence. This is also a moment to honor the bravery of Sandy Hook Elementary staff and the first responders. During difficult times such as these, it is important that we stand together to support our neighbors, who are suffering," Walker said in a statement.
Walker also asked that places of worship and government buildings with the ability to ring bells do so 26 times in honor of each of the lives that were lost.

Nendrum Monastery mill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nendrum Monastery mill was a tide mill on an island in Strangford Lough now in Northern Ireland. It is the earliest excavated tide mill, dating from 787 AD. Its millstones are 830mm in diameter and the horizontal wheel is estimated to have developed 7/8HP at its peak. Remains of an earlier mill dated at 619 AD were also found.

Some people need to calm down a bit. This game reminded me a lot of when San Jose beat us up. Bunch of PP converts, we really took it to them and for the last half of the game we coasted just like San Jose. Except we're not San Jose and we almost got bit tonight. Will have to keep the pedal to the medal next time. I was pretty proud of our defence, everybody seemed to take their man for the most part tonight.
I love how Hemsky has trolled some fans and reporters here his whole career. Do you think he's going to change anything at this point in his career? He does what he does and he makes enough plays over the course of a career to earn a 5M cheque. He opens up room for other guys. I have a feeling that people are going to be making the same complaints about Taylor Hall's offensive play in a few years. They do what they do but they will have full careers as legit top 6ers. If you think they're going to wake up with hockey sense one day you're mistaken. Skill and will, they're not tacticians.
Finally, another night of Corey Potter and of course he earned his minus on the only goal of the game and was terrible in the 3rd. He makes Whitney look so bad. I can't imagine how Fistric isn't in for Phoenix. I almost lost my mind that he wasn't in tonight. He would have killed some guys as soft as butter as that Avs team was.
Paul Stastny and Erik Johnson are bad now. That team might be on permasuck if they can't turn things around soon. I don't even think they knew it was a real game until half way through.
