Bianca lost her fight with hemangiosarcoma on the morning of October 23rd 2012.
We will miss you, girl.
Bianca had to have emergency surgery a few weeks ago. We had no idea anything was wrong with her until she suddenly started acting funny that afternoon. It all happened so quickly, the night before she had gone for a long 2-3 mile walk to the park and she was acting normal that morning as well.
The first thing I noticed was that afternoon, she was limping slightly, but when I called her to see if I could tell why, she stopped limping and was walking normally again. I felt her leg and could not find out why so I let it go. Then a while later she started limping again, and when I called her to me that time she was not wanting to get up, even when I had food, and when I checked her gums they were pale so I knew something was seriously wrong. So I rushed her to the vet. It turned out she was bleeding internally and had an enlarged spleen. She had to be transferred to the emergency clinic because it was too late in the evening for my regular vet to perform the surgery. She had emergency surgery to remove her spleen that night. When they did the surgery they found several masses that had ruptured on her spleen, that's what caused the bleeding. She also needed a blood transfusion during surgery.
We had brought her to this specific emergency clinic partly because this was the clinic where Bianca had been a blood donor herself for two years (retired recently because the age limit is 8 years), they have a volunteer blood donor program where people sign up their pets to be donors. Luckily for us they happened to have blood donor dogs who were there the day we had came in with our emergency and they were able to immediately use the blood from one of the donors for Bianca.
I highly recommend the canine blood donor programs, if your dog is the right size to be a donor(usually over 50 pounds) and friendly, many areas have these volunteer programs. Sometimes they have the volunteer programs for cats as well, one of my cats has also been a blood donor (they have to be 10 pounds or over and have the right temperament for it.)
Bianca went through surgery with no complications. Sadly this was not the end of things, as they had also found some small masses on her liver and took samples of those as well as of the ones from the spleen and a sample of the spleen lymph node to send for biopsy. The biopsy results came back positive for cancer (HSA).
We consulted with an oncologist who recommended a metronomic chemotherapy protocol.
Bianca is doing well right now, healing very well from her surgery so hopefully she will do well with the chemotherapy treatment also.
I'm going to let my human tell the story of my first visit to Dog Camp (Camp Dogwood in Ingleside, IL.)
I took Bianca to a dog camp for one day over the weekend. It is normally a 4-day camp but they have an option of just coming for the day.
Well, I discovered why Shepherds are called one of the most versatile breeds! We did a bunch of activities, several of which Bianca was trying for the first time and she did really well at all of them!
We did herding, tracking, lure Coursing, preparing for the Therapy Dog Test, agility, and carting.
The first thing we did was herding. This was a herding instinct test, we had to drive from camp to the testing site. Bianca did really great and got her "Herding Instinct Certification." She was very funny to watch because for some reason she bounced her way through the testing. If you've ever seen a dog bound through deep snow, that is what she looked like she was doing! I put up a video of part of the test on her Dogster page if anyone wants to see it.
Several of the other owners there commented on what a nice looking dog she was. One of them said they just couldn't take their eyes off her. smile
You can see some photos from her herding on her Dogster page too.
Lure Coursing-
The next activity we did was lure coursing. I think this was Bianca's first time trying it, and at first she wasn't sure about chasing the lure, she kept chasing and then stopping. However the guy running it switched it to a furry lure and as soon as Bianca saw that one she was off!
The next thing we did was tracking. This was "beginner's" tracking. Bianca has done some tracking training in her previous home but I don't know how much and I've never done any tracking. They had the owners taking turns laying a straight track with an item at the beginning and a glove with food at the end, and then hiding near the end (with the dog turned around so they couldn't see where the owner went) while another owner worked the dog. The woman who was working with Bianca was amazed at how good Bianca was. The instructor said we should do the "tracking level 2" activity which was the next day, but unfortunately I was just there for the day so I couldn't go to that.
"Preparing for the Therapy Dog Test"-
The trainer for the therapy dog stuff was one I have taken classes with before (with Pooch mostly) so she knew me but she was surprised to see Bianca (she actually referred to me and Ginger when she made a comment to me because she had assumed I was with my Golden, then she looked closer and realized it was a different dog with me.) Bianca did very well. The segments of the therapy dog test we practiced were from the Delta Society test because that is what the trainer is experience in. The segments the trainers did were: Clumsy Petting, Restraining Hug, Staggering/Gesturing, Angry Yelling, Bumped from Behind, Crowded and Petted by Several People (two, since they only had two trainers there), Leave It (with toys) and Offer Treat. They also used a wheelchair and a walker to see the dog's reaction to a person using those and also to the items on their own.
Bianca did very well on all the segments. She was a little unsure about what was going on with the hugging but she didn't mind. She was also not quite sure what to make of the wheelchair but was not scared or anything like that.
Since she was still raring to go we did agility next. Bianca enjoyed it and especially took to the A-frame, she didn't really need the trainers' help on any of the obstacles. She has tried a few obstacles in the past but only briefly (we took a single session of a drop-in agility class before).
There was supposed to be a break time before dinner at that point but I had talked to the guy running lure coursing earlier as the schedule said he was the person to see about having a "mini session" on carting. When I got there he had a cart out already. He first had me walk Bianca next to the cart to get her used to it. She was kinda nervous about it at first but I encouraged her and she got over it quickly. Once she was comfortable with that he actually hooked her up with a carting harness and hitched her to the cart! He held on to the harness at first and we walked around with her hitched to the cart with me encouraging her the whole way and giving her the start and stop commands. We did a few turns and then she was doing so well that he let her go without him holding the harness (with her walking in between us, and me holding her leash.) She actually pulled the cart all by herself with no problem, including turning, starting from a dead stop and going uphill. The instructor commented that she was very strong and on how good she was doing. She even sat down while hitched up. He said that he thought we could probably have it all down in about a week if we practiced every day and that he thought she could be ready for a drafting test in a month.
Bianca did very well! I was hoping to use the camp to kinda see what dog sports she might be good at and like so I could decide what to train in, but she did good and enjoyed everything we did! So, that doesn't narrow it down any.

May 16, 2012 | The Long Island Catholic Vol. 51, No. 7��|� BISHOP WILLIAM MURPHY
Two of the committees of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops on which I serve are the Committee for International Justice and Peace and the Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Dignity. Both met over two days last week. Many of the international issues focused on Africa and the Middle East. We listened to prominent persons from the Administration as well as having the advice and counsel of various experts including some who are consultants to our committee. The Middle East took up a good deal of our discussion both regarding Israel/Palestine and Syria.
Of the latter the news reports and the information we have received are very disturbing. While the current Syrian regime has unleashed strong reprisals against protesters of that regime, the opposition is not a united block of persons and groups with a common agenda or a common front. The violence on both sides is unacceptable and the outside powers, including our own country, must act in ways that do not escalate violence. The Syrian National Council has not to date succeeded in building a united front.� Indeed their supporters, including our country, are in the curious position of seeking more to find ways to build an opposition to the Assad regime than they are in brokering a peace.
This past week, the Holy See press director, Father Federico Lombardi, expressed the concern of the Holy Father and the Catholic community regarding the violence that �brought carnage to the streets of Damascus.� Such acts received �our strong condemnation.�� To that end, Father Lombardi continued, �these attacks should encourage all sides to boost and strengthen their commitment to implementing the Annan Peace Plan which has been accepted by all sides in the conflict.� Faced with the inconsistencies by actors in the international community, he spoke of the need for a �firm and joint commitment on the part of the entire international community to implement the plan � it is necessary without delay� to make an immediate commitment to the path of respect, dialogue and reconciliation.�
These words echo the appeal of Pope Benedict on Easter Sunday, words that reminded us as well that the minorities, including the Christian communities in Syria and other parts of the Middle East in turmoil, are often the first victims of these internecine acts of violence. �Another issue that was on the front burner of our discussions is that of religious freedom both at home and abroad.� The survival of the U.S. Commission for Religious Freedom in the Congress a few months ago was a narrow victory for an important instrument that monitors attacks on religious freedom and conscience in countries around the world. Having served a term as a commissioner on that body I can attest to the importance, little noticed, of its crucial work. The research and the information that commission presents annually to the State Department is an invaluable tool for the protection of the religious rights and freedom of conscience of individuals and institutions around the world. We can only hope that the new commissioners will be able to move ahead in their important work.
As we all know, there are issues of religious freedom and its protection as �our first freedom� here on the home front.� The Ad Hoc Committee on Religious Liberty of our conference of bishops headed by Baltimore Archbishop William Lori has become very active and regularly meets to monitor what is going on and provide us all with good educational material.� The bishops� principled defense of religious freedom for persons and institutions across our country, especially as they have appeared in the administration, the legislatures and the courts, has received widespread support from the Catholic faithful. Indeed I have never sensed such grass roots support.� So many of you have been galvanized and have joined the efforts to protect religious freedom in the wake of the HHS regulations that define religion and religious bodies in the narrowest terms imaginable. The source of this narrow definition is the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which has an almost perfect record of opposition to religion and religiously motivated persons and programs. We need to be one in convincing our own national leaders to re-think that narrow definition that precludes the Church from being able to offer her services to all those we seek to serve as a part of our mandate from Christ to heal the sick, care for the poor and assist all those in need.
Your collaboration in these efforts is essential. One of our efforts will be a Fortnight of Freedom. It will begin next month on June 20 and run up to our great national holiday, Independence Day, July 4. This will consist of gatherings for prayer and supplication. We will seek divine help in our struggle to preserve religious freedom and we will find ways that will show the power of prayer and the power of God in touching human hearts and changing them for the good of all. This is not a part of partisan politics and it should not be construed or misinterpreted in a partisan way in this election year.
Soon you will be hearing details of this.� But I ask you all now to keep abreast of these and other initiatives by referring back to this newspaper, by checking information via Telecare� and by consulting the website of the diocese, www.drvc.org and the website of the Conference of Bishops, www.usccb.org. Keep informed, share the information and, above all, be united in prayer and witness as we continue to proclaim the truths that make us free.�

Sustainable Capitalism
Capitalism generates unmatched prosperity, yet growing inequality and diminishing opportunities threaten its long-term viability. To put capitalism on a sustainable path, CED develops solutions that combine the efficiency of the free-market system with public policies that promote greater economic opportunity and outcomes for all.
Policy recommendations emphasize reducing the influence of crony capitalism and other inefficient policies that divert economic resources away from their highest-valued uses. Through research and advocacy, Members exemplify what CED calls "business statesmanship," a culture in which business leaders take a more expansive view of their responsibilities.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
A place to post your Call for Submissions for any zine projects you are working on.
Members: 684
Latest Activity: Jun 19
Started by Heather KNight Jun 11.
Started by Randie Pospical May 29.
Started by Joni Renee. Last reply by Daniel de Culla May 14.
The first issue of Gender Matters has been really successful. It's in the hands of many youth, teachers, parents and zine readers! All the sale proceeds have been donated to organizations that support trans/gender variant youth...nearly $350.00
Topic: (Essays, anecdotes, comix, poetry) from gender variant folks telling stories of going through puberty and adolescence, and early adulthood experiences. Take that as broadly or specifically as you'd like; literally how your body was changing and how your brain was dealing with it, or going to a dance and how that made you feel, dating, coming out to your family, teachers, classmates, etcetera...
Audience: 7-12 grade students.
Specifics: The pieces should be free of cursing and overt sexual content, I want to get the zine in schools, so content should be school appropriate.
Why/Purpose: It's rough trying to find age or school appropriate material for trans/gender variant/intersex youth and it's imperative that all young people see themselves in print.
Puberty, adolescence, and early adulthood are hard for everyone but it's extra alienating and difficult when you feel alone and radically different from the majority. I want this zine to be an offering to gender variant kids who need to see themselves in print, to know that they are not alone, to offer comfort and hope. I want the zine to open the eyes and hearts of cis gender folks so they become allies. I also want it to open up dialogue between youth, parents and teachers.
I keep this quote in mind when I'm writing curriculum and deciding what to teach for the year. Perhaps it will inspire you.
"When those who have the power to name and to socially construct reality choose not to see or hear you, whether you are dark-skinned, old, disabled, female, or speak with a different accent or dialect than theirs, when someone with the authority of a teacher, say, describes a world and you are not in it, there is a moment of psychic disequilibrium, as if you looked into a mirror and saw nothing." ~ Adrianne Rich

And boy, did we get an earful.
To quickly recap: As a innovations unit tasked with exploring new models in communications, we needed a logo that can convey our mission and philosophy. So it made sense to try crowdsourcing to experiment first-hand with how all this might fit into our industry down the line. In the process, we hoped to find fresh talent who are marketing their skills in new ways.
A lot of people asked why would we do something like this? Don't we have great designers in-house? Doesn't that stuff commoditize design? Isn't that exploitive?
That's beside the point: the pros and cons of crowdsourcing design can be debated 'till we are blue in the face but the fact is, the model seems to work and therefore deserves our attention.
Currently, we believe it works best for small or start-up clients. But as the model evolves it has a lot potential to work for larger clients with more demanding needs.
These new technologies aren't going away, so it's now our duty to understand how to work with them. We can continue to insist that us trained professionals are irreplaceable by the untrained crowd (and end up like our poor friends in journalism), or we can start figuring out how to turn eggs into omelets. From our viewpoint, this isn't about preparing for the day that creative agencies can outsource design, it's about preparing for the day that clients can outsource creative agencies.
BBH Labs believes that in the not-too-distant future, creative agencies are going to resemble expanded networks, with core teams overseeing expansive partnerships rather than the more vertically-integrated models existing today (more to come on this topic later). We see these kinds of partnerships and platforms happening across media increasingly already.
The task now is to find out how to build these new models in a way that is fair to all involved. Crowdsourcing our logo was the first tiny step in a larger Labs process to come – the medium was the message.

Front bumper replacement for a 2010 laredo
Hello everyone,
I am a new jeep owner and unfortunately someone backed into my front bumper in a parking lot the other day. I have a Laredo and want to use this time to switch to the painted front bumper on the limited. I am having a bit of trouble figuring out what parts to buy. Is it just the front bumper cover ? All the sites I went to have the front bumper cover the same on both models. Except all of them are missing the lower piece of the bumper , conveniently which is the part I want painted. I can post pictures if it helps. Thanks for any help and sorry for the silly question.

Activa Digital Watch
So you woke up in 1985 and you need to blend in. Luckily, you're wearing this Activa Watch. Otherwise, the natives would probably have found you out by now and tarred and feathered you ... or, you know, whatever it was they did with outcasts way back in the '80s.

Man it sucks not being in Montana during hunting season. I was there for a couple of days and got to hunt over my one year old. She brought in a couple of limits and her first band. Everywhere I took this dog she was running around finding other peoples dead ducks and a pigeon. Birdiest dog I've ever seen and high but containable energy. Mega props to my trainer Butch Higgins of Parkdale Kennels in Rainier OR. He made my dog a machine.
I also took my 11 YO out one day.She's dying of cancer and probably doesn't have too many more hunts left in her. She ran down roosters like she was 5 and brought a tear to my eye over all the good times we've had together.

Aug. 24, 2010
By Richard Retyi, U-M Athletic Media Relations
Michigan football earned varsity status in 1879 and that year played the first two games in program history, defeating Racine College and tying the University of Toronto.
The U-M roster featured nine players from the state of Michigan (six from Ann Arbor) and one each from Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota, North Dakota and Texas. The team photo features 13 handsome gentlemen with team captain Dave N. DeTar standing in the back row with his mates. The team did not have a head coach until 1891. Hand written notes on the back of the team picture read:
"All except Collins H. Johnson were in Chicago for the game with Racine College on May 30, 1879. Petit was substitute and did not get into the game. Touchdown by Pond. Field goal by DeTar."
Pond referred to Irving Kane Pond, an Ann Arbor native and a halfback on the first-ever U-M football squad. Pond had the honor of scoring the first touchdown in Michigan football history, though he did not self-identify as much of a football player.
Pond recalled the milestone touchdown run in his autobiography, which involved running over bleachers and vaulting his tacklers like a superhero:
"I am not a modern footballist (sic) if indeed I were ever any kind of footballist. I played only for the fun of it! ... My touchdown was made towards the end of the first half and involved a long distance run to where the ball must be grounded directly behind and between the goal posts ... To Avoid being tackled I was forced to mount the bleachers and run eastward along them until I was opposite the goal when I stopped suddenly and -- fearing that a touchdown in the bleachers would not count-- jumped over the heads of my pursuers to the ground."
Pond's legacy stretches far outside the boundaries of the gridiron. He graduated with a degree in civil engineering and formed his own architectural firm in Chicago, Pond and Pond, in partnership with his brother Allen Bartlitt Pond (also a U-M graduate). The brothers collaborated for more than 40 years, championing the Arts and Craft style of architecture, which advocated simple forms and medieval, romantic or folk styles of decoration. The brothers completed more than 30 projects together, including the design of a number of buildings for the University of Michigan campus. Three of the Pond buildings have been declared National Historic Landmarks -- the Hull House dining hall in Chicago, the Lorado Taft Midway Studios, and the Frank R. Lillie House.
The brothers' Ann Arbor connection remains strong. They excelled in building large university student unions and used their skills to design student unions at Purdue, Michigan State, Kansas and of course at their alma mater, Michigan. The Michigan Union was actually constructed on the site of the brothers' boyhood home and the Pond brothers also designed the Michigan League, the Student Publications Building on Maynard and the old YMCA Building on Fourth Street.
Allen Bartlitt Pond passed away in 1929 and lifelong bachelor Irving married Katherine N. de Nancrede in a ceremony in Ann Arbor. Pond remained physically fit well into his golden years and performed a backflip on the occasion of his 80th birthday, a feat that was photographed for Life magazine in 1937. In fact, Pond utilized back flips and somersaults as part of his daily exercise regimen. In an article written about him in the Michigan Alumnus Magazine in 1927, Pond recalled using his acrobatic skills to confuse his opponents on the football field.
"The great satisfaction I had in that game was in learning that I had confounded the other side in turning a back somersault at the signal for its kickoff at the beginning of the second half, grabbing the ball as I alighted upon my feet and going down the field for a long run."At the age of 82, Pond died while traveling to Washington, D.C. in 1939. Most of his buildings still stand today.

Aaron Neville
He has ventured more into other waters besides R&B -- 1993's The Grand Tour included a remake of a George Jones song that got Neville a little country attention, and in 1994 he announced plans to do a complete country album. He was also one of several R&B artists who teamed with country stars for the Rhythm Country and Blues session. Neville was paired with Trisha Yearwood, and the duo also performed together in a benefit concert for the LP held in Los Angeles in April 1994. The LP made history by debuting in the Top Ten on the pop, R&B, and country charts. Tattooed Heart appeared in 1995 and To Make Me Who I Am in 1997 on A&M Records. Increasingly, Neville was drawn to his gospel roots, and the influence of the genre shows in his solo projects. Devotion and Believe were released in 2000 and 2003, respectively, by Tellit Records. Nature Boy: The Standards Album came out on Verve in 2002, and the holiday album Christmas Prayer was issued by EMI Gospel in 2005. Neville kicked off the next year by singing the national anthem at Super Bowl XL, followed by the release of Mojo Soul, a collection of some of his singles from the late '60s and early '70s with producers Marshall Sehorn and Allen Toussaint, and Bring It on Home...The Soul Classics, which featured guests Chaka Khan and Mavis Staples, among others. This was followed by his gospel album, I Know I've Been Changed in 2010. In January, 2013, Neville released My True Story, his debut album for Blue Note Records. The set was a collection of doo wop covers, and was co-produced by Keith Richards and Don Was. It proved to be the highest charting album of Neville's solo career to that point, eventually landing at number seven on the R&B charts.
In 2016, Neville announced a 75th birthday show at the Apollo Theater that also marked the 50th anniversary of the release of "Tell It Like It Is." He also entered Brooklyn's Studio G with producer/guitarist Eric Krasno, and a band that included David Guy and Cochemea Gastelum (Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings), Ryan Zoidis (Lettuce, Soulive), and Eric Bloom (Blue Öyster Cult, Lettuce). They cut an uncharacteristically uptempo, hard-edged R&B set. The single "Be Your Man" was previewed in June of 2016. The album, Apache, was released in July by the artist's Tell It Records via Kobalt Label Services. ~ Michael Erlewine & Ron Wynn

I would ignore this. It is a filler sentence, people use it when it doesn't seem quite polite to just launch in to the real topic they're contacting you about. Also, they are not asking 'how are you?' as an actual question.
I would only respond if you need a filler sentence too or if there is a relevant health issue, which you would have possibly mentioned anyway whether they mentioned you being well or not.
That is all if it is a work related or formal email. If it is a friend then you could respond if you want.

The Saint Francis/Mount Sinai Regional Cancer Center works closely with the Hoffman Breast Health Center to provide breast cancer treatment targeting the best possible outcomes. Learn more...
Your particular breast cancer treatment will depend on:
Once a breast cancer diagnosis has been determined, more tests will be performed to learn whether the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. This is called staging. Your doctor needs to assess the stage of your disease in order to plan treatment. The following stages are used for breast cancer:
Breast cancer in situ (Stage 0)
About 30 percent of breast cancers are identified very early. They are sometimes called carcinoma in situ. There are two types of breast cancer in situ: ductal carcinoma in situ (also known as intraductal carcinoma), and lobular carcinoma in situ. Lobular carcinoma in situ is not cancer, but is a marker for patients at higher risk for developing breast cancer. For classification purposes it is also called breast cancer in situ, carcinoma in situ or stage 0 breast cancer.
Stage I
The cancer is no larger than 2 centimeters (a bit less than 1 inch) and has not spread outside the breast, or the cancer is no larger than 2 centimeters and there is lymph node involvement, with cells measuring less than 2 millimeters (micrometastasis).
Stage II
Stage II is divided into stages IIA and IIB.
Stage IIA is defined by one of the following:
Stage IIB is defined by either of the following:
Stage III
Stage III is divided into stages IIIA, IIIB, and IIIC.
Stage IIIA is defined by either of the following:
Stage IIIB is defined by the following:
Stage IIIC is defined by any tumor size with one of the following:
Stage IV
The cancer has spread to other body sites. Those where breast cancer is most likely to spread include the bones, lungs, liver, and brain.
Inflammatory Breast Cancer Inflammatory breast cancer is a special class of breast cancer that is rare. The breast looks as if it is inflamed because of its swollen and red appearance. Sometimes it may feel warm. The skin may show signs of ridges and wheals (raised areas) or it may look pitted like the skin of an orange. This type of cancer tends to be more aggressive. Inflammatory breast cancer may be stage IIIB, IIIC, or stage IV.
Recurrence Cancer is considered recurrent when it has returned following previous, apparently successful, treatment. Recurrence may take place in the breast, the lymph nodes, the soft tissues of the chest (the chest wall), or in another part of the body.
Treatments are selected for each patient based on cancer stage and type. These may include:
In addition, new types of breast cancer treatment are continually under development and testing in clinical trials.
Surgery to remove cancerous tissue is a common part of breast cancer treatment for most patients. Lymph nodes lying beneath the arm are frequently removed as well, so that they may be analyzed for the presence of cancer cells.
Lumpectomy (sometimes called segmental mastectomy, partial mastectomy, or wide local excision) conserves the breast by removing only the lump and some of the surrounding tissue. It may be followed by radiation therapy applied to the part of the breast that remains, or to a portion of the breast that includes the surgical site. The surgeon may also remove some lymph nodes under the arm. Learn more...
Total or simple mastectomy removes the entire breast. Sometimes lymph nodes under the arm are also removed. Learn more...
Modified radical mastectomy removes the breast and some of the lymph nodes under the arm. Learn more...
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) is the removal of the sentinel lymph node during surgery. The sentinel lymph node is the first to receive lymphatic drainage from a tumor; as such it is the first lymph node to which cancer from the tumor is likely to spread. If cancer is present in the sentinel node, the lymph nodes under the armpit are removed in a procedure called axillary lymph node dissection. SLNB is the preferred first step because it removes fewer lymph nodes than a formal axillary dissection, and SLNB produces fewer long-term side effects. It can also provide the physician with the necessary information needed for further treatment decisions. Learn more...
Breast Reconstruction If your entire breast is to be removed, you may want to consider breast reconstruction. Plans for breast reconstruction are often part of the breast cancer treatment plan. Reconstruction can be done at the time of surgery, or at some time in the future. The breast may be reconstructed using your own tissue, or through implants filled with saline or silicone. Breast reconstruction is not considered cosmetic surgery, so it is typically covered by health insurance plans. In some cases, reconstructive surgery may also be performed for partial mastectomy patients.Learn more about natural tissue reconstruction....Learn more about implants...
This treatment uses high-energy X-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation may be introduced from a machine outside the body (external radiation therapy) or through radiation-producing substances transmitted through thin plastic tubes into the affected area (internal radiation therapy). Learn more...
Chemotherapy is the use of special drugs to damage or kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be administered orally or through IV. Learn more...
If tests show that breast cancer cells contain estrogen or progesterone receptors, your doctor may choose hormone therapy. This treatment blocks hormones that can help cancers grow through either blocking the action of hormones, or through surgery to remove hormone-producing organs, such as the ovaries. Hormone therapy with the medication tamoxifen can act on cells throughout the body and may increase your risk for cancer of the uterus. Patients undergoing this type of hormone therapy should be checked regularly for uterine cancer. Additionally, these patients should immediately report any non-menstrual uterine bleeding to their doctor. An aromatase inhibitor may be used instead of tamoxifen for women who have undergone menopause.
Targeted therapy uses drugs to identify and attack specific markers on cancer cells. Some types of targeted therapy kill cancer cells directly by affecting how the cells grow and survive. Other targeted therapies help the body's immune system, its natural defense, attack and fight the cancer. Monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors are two types of targeted therapies used in the treatment of breast cancer.
Treatment for breast cancer depends on the type and stage of your disease, your menopausal status and your overall health. You may receive treatment that is considered standard based on its effectiveness in a number of patients in past studies, or you may choose to go into a clinical trial. Not all patients are cured with standard therapy, and some standard treatments may have more side effects than are desired. For these reasons, clinical trials are designed to find better ways to treat cancer patients and are based on the most up-to-date information.
Note: Therapy is considered adjuvant when it is given after surgery, when no cancer cells can be seen, to prevent cancer from recurring. Therapy is considered neoadjuvant when it is given before surgery to shrink the tumor and make it easier to remove, or to assess the response of the tumor to a specific type of treatment.
Your treatment depends on whether you have ductal carcinoma in situ or lobular carcinoma in situ. It is important to have your biopsy preparations (slides) observed through the microscope by a breast pathologist to be certain of the diagnosis. If you have ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), your treatment may be one of the following:
If you have lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), you have a marker for a higher risk of developing cancer in either breast. This gives you about a 10-15 percent chance of developing breast cancer in either breast over the next 30 years. Many women with LCIS never develop an invasive breast cancer. The treatment options for LCIS are varied and quite controversial. Your treatment may include:
Surgical options
Adjuvant therapy (following surgery)
Your treatment may include the following:
Your treatment may include the following:
Your treatment will probably be a combination of chemotherapy, followed by surgery to remove the breast, then radiation therapy. Hormonal therapy also may be used.
Breast cancer that comes back (recurs) in the breast or lymph nodes can often be treated but is sometimes associated with disease in another part of the body. The treatment depends on hormone receptor levels, the kind of treatment you had before it recurred, where the cancer recurred, whether you still have menstrual periods, and other factors. Your treatment may be one or more of the following:

Z3 - Problem with drivers seat and fuel guage.
Hi this is my first post, so hopefully someone can assist. I recently bought a 2001 3Lt Z3, and it is the first BMW I have ever owned. It is fantastic and I love it. However it has developed two problems during the short time I have owned it.
1. The drivers seat will not rise or lower. It travells forward and back ok and I can hear the motor attempting to work each time I try to rise and lower it but it doesn't work. Problem is I am 6'4" and my wife raised the seat to its maximum height when she used it, and as a reuslt I can't comfortably fit in the car when the roof is on. Even with the roof off my head sticks up above the windscreen.
2. The fuel guage stopped working the second time I filled up the tank. I believe I may have over fill the tank, which has reuslted in the fuel guage low fuel light staying on and the guage not working - permanently recording no fuel. I tried to fix it by disconecting the battery, however this didn't work.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Free ride Set up....Flow NX2-RS Vs Union
Hi All
I'm looking at creating a new free ride set up.
I'm 165cm and 85kg @ 49 yrs of age.
Not into park at all just love carving and natural features. I board New Zealand mostly but live in Australia, only because Nz has better conditions.
I'm going to start with a 156 Gnu Dirty pillow, with union force binding, I am very partial to my 32 Prime boots.
But for now am thinking of putting the Flow NX2-RS on the dirty pillow.
Eventually I am thinking of a Jones Flagship 163w with Nx2-RS bindings.
Any thoughts....?
Would it be your one board quiver? What kind of mt and conditions are you riding?
Flagship is not an all-day all-mountain board. Great for big mountain, deep pow, or bombing n aggressive carving on groomers, but e.g. in springtime moguled runs she's a lot of hard work (read as: no fun). For riding these conditions, you'd be better off with a second/different board.
I bought a pair of NX2-RS bindings last year and love them. They are at the top of the stiffness scale so they're mainly geared towards freeride so pairing them up with a mid-flex park/pow board like the Dirty Pillow might not be a good choice. The NX2-AT or Fuse AT might be better options if you want the standard Flow power strap or the NX2-SE if you want the hybrid strap that can be entered like a standard binding if you choose. On the other hand, the NX2-RS bindings would be a much better pairing with the Flagship - in my opinion.
No, the flagship would not be one replaces all quiver. I have two others at the moment, I have a Gnu Carbon credit (original pre mass production) and also the dirty pillow.
This year I am heading to Broken River 1 hr out of Christchurch. From here you can board to Craigieburn Valley or access to backcountry :yahoo:
The flagship I see as my Nz backcountry / free ride board with the Nx2-RS bindings. The other I use union force bindings
8 Attachment(s)
Definitely the RS's. They're one of the most responsive and bomber bindings on the market and are perfect for the Flagship. My roommate rode them on his Shifty and Quantum for a while so they wont over power either of your Mervins in the meantime.
Never owned a set of flow bindings, because of the loss of response for the quick access. Why are you going with those if you are doing a freeride board. I would think of a bc board you would want response over quick access. Do you already have these bindings and that is why you are going with them?
"No, the flagship would not be one replaces all quiver."
I meant that the flagship will be an edition to my quiver.
I did have a look at the Union Charger, they seem to have a design flaw with them. where the carbon high back attaches to the heel cup they fracture probably due to the carbon not being flexible enough to cope with the amount of torsion that the high back goes through thus becoming brittle and breaking.

No, I don't own these yet but If you have a look at the Nx2 RS you will find that they are responsive.
Guys, In Australia and New Zealand, We don't get that waist deep powder that you are so lucky to enjoy. If we get anything up to our knees (We're in heaven)
Mostly groomers and up to knee deep powder if lucky.

ELKINS, WV – The Davis & Elkins College Athletic Department is pleased to announce the addition of Nick Smith as the head coach of the swim program. Smith, a Huntington, West Virginia native, will direct the men and women for the Senators.
Smith has served as head swim coach at Spring Valley High School for the last three years, a program he started in 2009-2010. The program at Spring Valley has grown from 12 swimmers the first year to 16 this year. This past season Spring Valley placed 14th among a field of 53 teams at the West Virginia state meet.
"We are delighted Nick Smith accepted our invitation to join us as we continue building the swimming program. In the past two years, members of our swim team- some of whom Nick coached in high school- have been recognized nationally for their academic performance. With one of the finest collegiate pools in West Virginia, we are now poised to attract even more outstanding athletic and academic talent to the program. We welcome Nick to lead that effort, "remarked President G.T. 'Buck' Smith.
Smith is a magna cum laude graduate of Marshall University with a Bachelor of Arts in History Education from the College of Education & Human Services. During his time at Marshall he was active with Baptist Campus Ministries and served as the Vice President of the Steering Council.
Athletic Director Ronnie Palmer stated, "We are excited to have Nick Smith as our new swim coach. His passion, energy, and love for swimming will have an immediate impact on our program. Nick also understands the importance of student; in student-athlete; he will hold our swimmers to a high level of expectation, both in and out of the pool."
Smith is excited about this opportunity and has several goals for the swim program at D&E. "I appreciate President Smith and the rest of the administration giving me this opportunity and we are going to recruit young men and women of character, who also swim well. A big part of competing at the college level is recruitment and we will recruit to win. The members of our program will be respectful, honorable and will value the team above themselves. We also will work to build a swimming program that competes in the Bluegrass Mountain Conference, "stated Coach Smith.
Smith will also work as an Admission Counselor at D&E and will officially start his duties on June 1, 2012.
BELOW: Nick Smith will lead the D&E swim program.

Estel watched how his Ada worked all day to amend the twin's whining and whimpering from the pain, he did not see what was the cause as his Adar's back blocked the sight for him.
"Estel, go to your room, or play in the garden, I will be with you shortly, I hope," Elrond said to the boy without turning to meet his sky blue eyes, as the twins yearned for his attention.
"Can I watch, Ada?" Estel asked, standing outside the room, try to watch his Adar's moves.
"Not now, my son," Elrond replied and turned to face the boy, who seemed to want his attention too, he sighed slightly, and then added, "Estel, play with Glorfindel for awhile, and I will come for you when I have finished here, all right?"
"But Ada, you have been with the twins since they back from the trip two days ago…" Estel exclaimed, and then he added as he asked, "Have you to the kitchen to take something to eat at least, or taken a reprieve from them?"
And with that, Estel left, heading outside for the fresh air that welcomed him willingly as the birds sang.
The sun was in the middle of the sky, when he last looked upon it, he found himself staring at the door that he left hours ago, he did not know if he should enter inside, as he didn't know what his Adar's reaction would be, he walked over to the garden and picked one flower, playing in the corolla, he tore each petal as he mumbled, "Outside", then he tore another, "Inside", "Outside", "Inside"… and there one was left, he torn it, "Outside".
Estel could felt his heart pacing, mumbled over what was left of the flower, "I let this flower decide for me, as I should let my heart? I am going in."
Estel opened the door, and headed to the room where he last saw his Ada taking care of the twins, he opened the door, and was about to shout his Ada's name, looking around he could see that Elrond was not in the room, and the elves seemed asleep, no sound of whining was heard and their eyes were wide open.
Estel left the room, sighing with relief to see that his Ada was not there.
He walked to his Ada's room, noticed how the door was half-open, he let himself inside, and noticed the position of how Elrond's slept.
Elrond slept with his face against the white cream pillow, knowing that his Ada slept only on his back, not the other way around.
Estel thought, 'He must be tired, after handling the twins.'
Estel walked over to his Adar, climbed on to the bed, and he noticed the aroma oil placed on the desk, removing his Adar's clothes he took the bottle, opened it, and poured some into his hand, and then he placed it back on the desk.
He rubbed his hands, and then he moved them over Elrond's back, and started to fix his Adar, noticing by a feeling how tense his Adar's muscles were.
Estel said softly, "I will fix you Ada."
"Estel," Elrond sighed as he felt how his muscles seemed to relax under the boy's touch on him, and added asking, "Where? How do you know?"
Estel smiled, "I watched you as you were giving massages to Erestor after spending long days and night reading books, rubbing his neck, I noticed how you did it without hitting on some nerves, and I also took some books and read them in my room."
"Why? You could have asked me, my son." Elrond asked, enjoying himself as Estel rubbed his muscles, the feeling was so relaxing, just what he needed.
Estel stopped, grabbing the oil again, immersed it more on his hand, and then back over Elrond's side, and continued where he stopped.
"Ada, you were busy, I did not wish to disturb you with my questions, but I did watch you, every move."
"And what did you learn of it, my son?" Elrond asked him.
"That I want you to teach me how to be a healer like you." Estel replied with a large smile upon his face.

We expect the combined 2016 net profit to stay at Bt883 billion or Bt92.52 per share. In the first nine months of 2016, combined net profit totalled Bt689 billion. It is not difficult to make it to our forecast. Most listed companies with big net profit bases (usually, big market cap) have announced their statements since mid-February. The remainder are those with small profit bases and market cap. Although speculation may occur in these stocks, there will unlikely be any significant changes to the SET Index.
Next will be the announcement of dividend payment. Most will likely post the ex-dividend sign in April to, maybe, May. Annual dividend payment is expected in the range of Bt450 billion to Bt480 billion, compared to the SET's market cap at Bt15.39 trillion. Thus, the dividend yield will be around 3.1 per cent per annum. And these dividend stocks become another investment alternative amid low returns on other financial assets.
A more interesting point is whether or not this year's net profit estimates will be revised after the 2016 net profit is announced. We expect this year's estimated net profit to grow 7.85 per cent year on year to Bt952 billion or Bt99.78 per share. The projected figures are based on average Dubai crude price of US$55 per barrel, the baht at 36 per US dollar and Thailand's estimated gross domestic product growth of 3.5 per cent. Revision of the 2017 net profit estimates will have a direct impact on the targeted SET Index. Its current price-to-earnings ratio is 16 times (compared with the earnings yield gap of 4.75 per cent), which reflects the targeted SET Index at 1,600 points.
In this period, capital from both foreign and local institutional investors – the two main groups influencing the SET Index – is not expected to flow in. Foreign investment in the Thai bourse is expected to stay at about 2.5 per cent, relatively low, from now to the end of 2017. Foreign exchange risks remain high when the baht stays at 35 per US dollar. We believe there's no inflow of capital yet. Local institutional investors previously bought and sold with not much trading value, which could not set the market direction during this time. Given the market fundamentals and direction of capital movement as stated above, the SET Index this week is believed to be volatile in the range of 1,550-1,585 points. Focus on select buying of stocks with earnings momentum. Their 4Q16 earnings performance had outstanding growth and they will tend to grow continuously this year. Stock picks: TASCO (fair value@Bt30) and COM7 (FV@Bt14).

Today, Thai trade figures (exports and imports) in January must be monitored. Markets expect Thai exports to rise 8.20 per cent year on year and 6.20 per cent month on month. Thai imports are expected to increase 12 per cent, up from December's figure at 10.30 per cent.
If the export figure is better than expected and trade balance and current account balance continue to face surpluses (trade account has been in surplus for 32 consecutive months, while the current account has been in surplus for 27 consecutive months.), speculation on the baht is expected and the baht will appreciate in the short term.
In the meantime, we have seen the BOT's reaction to take care of the baht, reflecting the consistent rise in international reserves. (As of February 10, the international reserves stayed at US$180 billion, up $2.64 billion from January end.). Recently, the Bank of Thailand (BOT) governor warned the business sector to be cautious about the baht's appreciation, saying investors see Thailand as a safe haven, reflected in Thailand's international reserves, the world's 12th highest.
If there are uncertain circumstances or panic, short-term money will be parked in Thailand, which the Thai central bank does not like. When short-term money comes in, the baht appreciates and will not accommodate Thai growth. The BOT has been closely monitoring and making assessment of this situation. There will be more pressure, including sell on facts after earnings announcements, baht fluctuations (depreciation as a result of the US dollar appreciation) on the market in late February.

"I am not a Casanova" – Emraan Hashmi
Emraan Hashmi the on reel Casanova is once again coming up with his romantic aspirations in Madhur Bhandarkar's "Dil Toh Bachcha Hai".
Ask him if he is a Casanova in real life he smiles and says," No I am not a Casanova in my real life. If at all I was a flirt I would have not got married to my girl friend –my wife." Emraan is enjoying his married life and more than anything he is enjoying his fatherhood status." Yes! I now understand how my father may have tried his best to bring me up. And also all the things which may be wrong that I may have wanted to do then with a convincing capacity he may have made me do the right things."
Further adding how he enjoys playing with his kid," I always take some leisure time to be with my son. It is a real good feeling to be able to nurture your kid."
Emraan feels that the junta does not allow him to change his Avatar," Yes I did try to change my image in my earlier film but I presume my fans are happier to watch me in my romantic genre only. But I guess with Dibakar Banerjee's film I am all set to change my image and this film "Shanghai" will showcase the other side of my talent." Turning nostalgic about wanting to bring a change in his on reel characters he says," Who would not like to get different roles. I too am interested in wanting to do comic, as well as thriller, romantic and other genre of film. My fans identify me in frivolous, mischieveous character. I am keeping my fingers crossed to be able to change my avatar." He gushes enthusiastically.
Being the romantic king on screen he does find it interesting to teach lessons to Ajay Devgan in "DTBH. Laughs aloud and says," Yap! I am teaching love making lessons to Ajay in the film. I don't have to take any lessons to impart romance making know-how."
Romance making is universally known to one all, isn't it? Who does not taste love and romance during their youth hood? I have also gone through all that. But yes! It feels great to teach romantic lessons to Ajay in the film." He confirms Talking about Murder2 he adds," I have never disassociated myself from the Bhatts.Murder2 is quite different when compared to Murder. It deals with extra marital affair; it deals with different dimensions of sex and love."
Last but not the least Emraan did not attend the screen award function to which he clarifies," I was not convinced with the category of Award bestowed upon me so I kept myself away from attending the function" he clarifies.

Majewski defeats Davis
Photos: Key Artphoto
Patrick Majewski, 160, of Somers Point, NJ, gradually wore down a game challenge from Jamaal Davis, 159, of Philadelphia, PA, to earn a unanimous 10-round decision in their middlewight main event in front of a standing-room-only crowd in the Grand Ballroom at Bally's Atlantic City. Davis, 31, moved up from junior middleweight for this match and was able to hit Majewski at will in the early going. By the third round, however, the difference in size and power was evident as Majewski, 33, originally from Radom, Poland, began to push Davis around the ring with steady, but powerful shots. The difference in size was telling. Scores were 98-92, 99-91, 99-91.
The win moved Majewski to 21-1, 13 K0s, and solidified his world ranking–No. 9 with the WBC, No. 15 with the WBO. Davis, who again failed to win a "step up" fight, falls to 14-9-1, 6 K0s. He will move back down–after a long rest–to the junior middleweight class.
A major shocker in the 8-round light-heavyweight co-feature saw Lionel Thompson, 177, of Buffalo, NY, knock down and stop local favorite Chuck Mussachio, 173, of Wildwoof, NJ, whren Mussachio failed to answer the bell for the third round. Thompson goes to 13-2, 9 K0s while Mussachio drops to 18-3-2, 5 K0s.
In four-round fights: Joshua Reyes, 126, Vineland, NJ, won by decision over Tommy Garcia, 126, Hartford, CT, featherweights; Greg Jackson, 152, Philadelphia, won by decision over Alex Sanchez, 154, Camden, NJ; Anthony Burgin, 126, Philadelphia, won by decision over Elvis Rodriguez, 122, Manchester, CT; Anthony Prescott, 148, Cherry Hill, fought to a draw with Saud Clark, 145, Philadelphia.

Veteran Democratic Leaders Jean Hennessey,
Marion Copenhaver
Lead Upper Valley Activists Announcing Their Support for Kerry
MANCHESTER, NH Veteran Upper Valley Democratic leaders Jean Hennessey
and Marion
Copenhaver and other Upper Valley Democratic activists today announced their decision to
support John Kerry in New Hampshires presidential primary.
Hennessey, who is a veteran of New Hampshire Democratic presidential campaigns
going back
to John Kennedy and has spent her professional life on environmental matters and international
policy issues, said, I believe that John Kerry's service on the Foreign Relations and Intelligence
Committees of the Senate puts him in the strongest position to repair our badly damaged
credibility in the world. His courageous military service in Vietnam will make him invulnerable to
the Republican strategy to defame Democrats as `unpatriotic. Kerrys proposals for energy
sustainability will reduce our reliance on foreign oil, and he is in the best position to implement
an effective international program to halt global warming. Hennessey has served as the U.S.
Director of the NAFTA Commission on Environmental Cooperation, Commissioner of the
International Joint Commission for the United States and Canada, Director of Dartmouth's
Institute on Canada and the United States and as board member of the Woodrow Wilson
International Center for Scholars. Hennessey also was the first director of N.H. Charitable
Copenhaver, who served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives representing
for 14 terms and concentrated on health care issues as a member of the Health, Human Services
and Elderly Affairs Committee, said, "I agree with the consensus of independent health care
experts who recently announced that John Kerry's proposed health care plan is the most cost
effective and strongest. Not only will Kerrys plan cover all Americans, but by helping employers
cover the cost of catastrophic health cases, it will lower the premiums for the 163 million who
already have insurance through their workplaces. Kerrys plan simultaneously provides more
protection for those who are the sickest and, by reducing employers' costs by 10% or more, it
will stimulate the economy. Copenhaver has also served on a number of non-profit boards
including the Grafton County Senior Citizens Council, the Norris Cotton Cancer Center Board of
Overseers, and Grafton County Soil Conservation Board.
Other Upper Valley Democratic activists announcing their support for John
Kerry today include
Richard Abel, Lebanon; Carman Deuso, Lebanon; Susan Gray, West Lebanon; James Heffernan,
Hanover; Elizabeth Hunter, Hanover; Barbara Jones, Lebanon; Judith Kaufman, Cornish; Claire
Lobell, Hanover; John and Merideth Lunn, Newport; Howard Shaffer, Enfield; Molly Shatavsky,
Hanover; Ginny Smith, West Lebanon: George and Jayne Sykes, Lebanon; and Flobert Tanga,
Upper Valley Democratic activists who previously announced their endorsement
of John Kerry
include former Congressional nominee Barney Brannen, Lyme; State Senator Clifton Below;
Lebanon; State Representative Susan Almy, Lebanon; Dartmouth's student body president Janos
Marton; Lilla McLane-Bradley, Hanover; and Perry Williamson, Hanover.

The Evergreen Lake Trail connection at the dam moved one step closer to reality Sept. 27 after the Evergreen Park and Recreation District board voted unanimously to adopt it as a district project.
"It is not on district land. It is not in our budget. But it would be up to us to submit the grant without putting in any money," said Scott Robson, EPRD executive director, at a regular meeting of the board of directors.
The Jeffco Planning Commission has postponed a hearing on short-term vacation rentals to Oct. 26 instead of Oct. 5, to give it more time to work out the details of a potential zoning regulation that would allow the short-term rentals.
Preliminary draft regulations would give the Board of Adjustment responsibility for granting a "Special Exception" for short-term rentals after passing a review and lengthy application process.
The successful free summer concert series at Evergreen Lake is under scrutiny for being too commercial, at least in the opinion of park district board member Mark Footer.
The concert series started in 1998 and has grown from attracting several hundred people a night to an enthusiastic audience of 800 to 1,000 every other Wednesday during the summer.

Most art galleries are vibrant by nature — the walls packed with colorful or inspiring art that grabs the visitor's attention. But not all galleries have a vibrant atmosphere in addition to eye-catching art. The Main Street Fine Art Gallery, the latest endeavor of the Evergreen Artists Association, is a lively gallery whose art as well as atmosphere change frequently thanks to a dedicated group of artists.
As this newspaper reported, last week, the Colorado Reapportionment Commission approved a map redrawing this state's legislative districts. Not only does the map deprive Jefferson County of its allotted number of whole House seats, it carves up significant natural, cultural and administrative communities of interest.
A short time ago in a county very, very nearby, a group of small weekly newspapers launched an investigation into a land deal that the Jeffco empire presented as a routine open-space purchase.

So I just finished the wire tuck on my 2003 gti, and have been driving it for a few days and its acting a little weird.
Brief Info:
I deleted the SAI & Evap systems and put the necessary resistors to avoid the CEL from deleting. Car has an APR Stage 2 chip so I should be seeing boost spikes up to about 18 like I did before my wire tuck, but right now it will not boost past 10, which I believe is a soft limp mode which does not trigger any CEL for me. Car smells like it is running slightly rich, but this could be the old plugs and the because the car has been sitting for a while. Also when revving the car up say to anything over 3K RPM and then getting off the gas and letting the rpms fall down, as the rpms fall way down to idle level the car almost dies (the battery light comes on the dash like when the car stalls or something), but it doesn't actually completely die, but it is very close.
It seems to me that this is fueling or air related, but I am not sure where to begin. I do have vag-com, but I am not a pro user of it just yet so I don't know what I can do to help determine the problem or problems and the solutions for them. Here are a couple logs that I thought might help someone help me.
Like I said I am new to the vag-com program so if any different scans are needed let me know.
I appreciate any and all help.

Heartbroken and filled with emotion, Kain Colter stood before the assembled media in Houston after his team's Texas Bowl loss. A promising season ended in disappointment. He vowed to lead, forecasting different results.
"I feel like we need everybody to buy into this program—from top to bottom," he said then. "Whether it's offense or defense. Once we do that, we will be a lot better."
One year ago, Northwestern fell and struggled to get up. The message of 'flush it' was not received. The losses mounted and the season turned sour.
The Wildcats left Houston with a rejuvenated spirit. The team went to work while building chemistry off the field. The new season was going to be different, promised the team's leadership.
Inside the locker room, there are characters and personalities—not just teammates.
"Only we know what we put in day in and day out throughout the season and in the offseason," Colter said following Saturday's victory. "That really forms a brotherhood among us."
This season, Northwestern was knocked down, but managed to bounce back. Its first loss hurt—a meltdown at Penn State. Yet, one week later, it grinded out a victory in Minnesota. A valiant comeback pushed Nebraska on top. It was a gut-wrenching game that was once in the Wildcats' hands. Still, they moved forward to the next challenge and booted Iowa the next Saturday.
The scarring Hail Mary from Devin Gardner to Roy Roundtree, leading a miraculous Michigan comeback, could have been the knockout blow of Northwestern. Its goal of winning the Legends Division became unattainable.
A dose of harsh reality had been injected to the Wildcats, proving the program isn't quite there just yet. Coach Pat Fitzgerald promised his program would trek forward.
It was too fitting that one week later, a defensive stand in the fourth quarter propelled Northwestern past Michigan State. Once again, the Wildcats rallied back when shoved down.
When faced with adversity, it first takes a common belief to be resilient. The Cats proved they have that.
Following the regular season's final whistle, the team gathered to sing "Go U Northwestern" and celebrate its ninth victory -- the final one at Ryan Field for its senior leadership. There were hugs and tears shared throughout the scene.
"I couldn't ask for a better group of guys to do it around," added captain Brian Arnfelt. "I am just really thankful."
Colter, speaking after the game, pointed to fellow captain David Nwabuisi—who hosted his official visit—as one of many close connections. The quarterback stated he played hard for Nwabuisi and the other departing seniors.
"This year's class is the closest that I've been with," the quarterback said.
Such special locker-room chemistry which fueled Northwestern's fight each week.

In recession, design grads look to intern, freelance
By Rebekah Kebede
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - For a young designer, having a collection at New York's Fashion Week is usually a sign that they've made it.
But for those launching a career during the nation's worst recession in 70 years, even a runway show at the celebrated semi-annual event is not a guarantee of employment.
Seven new graduates from Academy of Art University in San Francisco showed their collections in fashion shows in New York this week but they face a dismal job market.
Rather than land full-time jobs as they would have just a few years ago, design graduates now are often expected to intern or take freelance assignments as fashion companies slash their budgets.
"I'm seeing a trend where a lot of companies are posting internships that really seem to resemble part-time or full-time jobs," said Angie Wojak, director of career services at Parsons New School for Design in New York.
As a result, some young designers are interning well after they graduate.
"(Employers) are wanting to see how people perform, seeing if it is going to be an investment that they want to make before they throw that contract commitment," said Simon Ungless, director of graduate fashion at the Academy of Art in San Francisco.
Students applying for jobs are feeling the changes. Continued...
