Is there anything different about the 192.168.0.5 config between your

There's a reason some people call Lady Gaga the millenium's first superstar.
Her string of hits — "Bad Romance," "Poker Face," "You and I" — just tell half the story.
At last check, the videos on her official YouTube channel had been played 2.35 billion times.
The reason: They're entertaining, much in the same way Michael Jackson videos are entertaining. They're audacious and over-the-top. They're not just commercials for a song. They're mini-movies. Lady Gaga strives to make them events.
The pop star brings that same ambition to her live shows—there's a reason that, in reviewing one recent tour, the New York Times sent its theater critic. She's not just a singer. She's a performer. And she'll be performing again in the area as she brings her "Born This Way Ball" to the Tacoma Dome at 7:30 p.m. Monday.
The tour is expected to be another over-the-top spectacle, divided into five "acts" and featuring 14 costume changes.
Tickets run $62.48 to $194.38 at ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.
While Gaga deals in pop, Chris Botti owns the jazz charts.
The chart-topping trumpeter will team up with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra for a 7:30 p.m. Thursday concert at Benaroya Hall.
Born in Portland, Ore., Botti first made his mark as a hired gun, playing in Paul Simon's band and on Sting's "Brand New Day" album.
Starting about 2000, though, he became that rarest of birds: the modern jazz musician capable of scoring mainstream hits on his own.
His past three albums — "Italia," "Chris Botti: In Boston," and "Impressions" — all cracked the top 40 on the Billboard 200 and easily topped the jazz charts.
He likely will take his crowd-pleasing sound to new heights with his Seattle orchestral show, which will feature a set list announced from the stage.
Tickets are $70.93 to $124.18 at ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.
Finally, Windowpane, the Seattle-based hard rock act, will headline the Showbox at the Market at 6:30 p.m. Saturday. The bill includes Van Eps, Mechanism, Black Diamond, Jason Kerston and the Immortals.
Windowpane has been kicking around the hard rock scene for more than a decade. After getting its start playing Led Zeppelin covers in Maryland, the band moved first to Orlando, Fla., and then to its current home in the Northwest.
During that time, it refined its sound, and has released three albums of original material, including its most recent record, 2009's "Daybreak."
Its live show promises to be the antithesis of Lady Gaga or Chris Botti. The group favors a simple, straight-forward performance, relying solely on its amps, guitars and drums.
Tickets are $12 in advance or $16 on the day of the show.

What is CircumNews and Is It Legit?
**PLEASE be sure to check out the updates below!!**
*I have received several emails asking about why the post had been deleted. This post was not deleted due to anything that was found out about the company. We experienced a technical issue that caused a ton of our blog post to get lost. I apologize about this! We were not able to get back the 100+ comments from our readers, but we invite you to leave comments if you have questions!*
Earlier today in our Facebook Group, I posted about a new site that was for earning income at home.
The biggest question everyone asked was – Is CircumNews Legit?
CircumNews is very new and they take up to 14 days to transfer the money to your PayPal. At this point, I have not yet received a payment from them. But I have cashed out – TWICE!
You are paid $2.00 (or more) per item that they ask you to read. You must reach $100.00 in your account to cash out. (Payout amount has changed to $350!)
While I have not yet been paid – there is nothing to lose by just trying it out! You are not required to give ANY personal information such as address or birth date. I simply put in my first name, last name, and PayPal email!
How to Get Started:
Visit CircumNews and Sign up for FREE
Click "Read News"
Click on the article that you want to read
Read what is required
Click Confirm
Answer the captcha
Another note that I wanted to be sure and add is that when you are being asked for your PayPal account number – that is your sign in email.
**UPDATE 11/8 – Many people have been asking how often the news is available to read. When we first started researching CircumNews, we were finding online that there was news each day. I signed up on 11/5 and today I have new news articles to read and earn from!
**UPDATE 11/9 – As of today the website has been updated and the payout is now $350.
**UPDATE 11/20 – Many users are visiting the site and being told that their login information is not correct. I've not experienced this issue as of yet.
**UPDATE 11/21 – I've had many comments asking if I have gotten paid yet. I submitted my first payout on Nov 5th before they raised the minimum payout. It takes 14 business days according to their website. So there should only be a few more days. I'm hoping that the jump in payout does not change things with me getting paid.
**UPDATE 12/2/ – As of yet, no payment has been deposited into my PayPal. It was listed that payment would be issued in 14 business days and payout was $100 when I started. Right after my first payout request is when the payout went to $350. I allowed for extra time due to the payout change and holidays as well. Today was the first day that I was able to request a payout of $350, but I'm not going to hold my breathe on payment. You are more than welcome to sign up and test your luck! Maybe we will all get lucky and payments will start showing up!
**UPDATE 12/9 – Today I received a screen shot of "payment" from a fan. After doing some searching, I was not able to connect the name from PayPal to CircumNews. I decided to give PayPal a call again since I had new information and see if they would be able to tell me anything. They did not find the name listed on the screen shot anywhere in PayPal, but this time they were able to find CircumNews with a business account. I asked Kayla (the rep from PayPal that I spoke with) to email me with the findings that CircumNews did have an account. I'm attaching a screen shot of this. It gives me a little more positive hope, but I am still waiting for my own payment.

Great value, does the job. The attachment mechanism is really easy to take on and off which is great if I want to ride without the trailer. Only complaint is I still can't figure out where the flag is supposed to go in the back
Bought this spring and we are more than satisfied. Taking it camping to haul the kids around and it makes it so much more fun.
Very safe, light weight and easy to assemble. Overall the kids love it. So much fun to ride around with them knowing that they are safe and secure.
Such high quality materials and super easy to take apart and fold up! My almost 2-year old loves his new ride!
Bought the Bee even though we only plan on having one child. We love the extra room. You don't even notice it when you're towing. Don't stress about it not having any suspension we've taken it on trails and baby doesn't seem to mind at all. We bought the extra padding to put on the straps that makes a big difference.
I brought this trailer for my grandbaby and she loves to get in it and go for rides! I am very happy for choosing this product from Burley. It was a great choice!
Easy to assemble and attach/remove to bike. My daughter seems to enjoy it so overall I'm really happy with it.
I got this for Mother's Day with a new bike and I love being able to now go bike riding with all 4 of my kids, having my 2 youngest in the Bee! It's such a smooth ride I often forget I'm pulling it.
I got this for my 7lbs yorkie . He like to ride in it [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Kids love it and for good reason: ride is smooth for them and for me, the mule. We've tried other trailers and this one by far exceeds the comfort and features we were looking for. Pricey but worth it.

MELBOURNE (Apr. 26)
The Australian government has rejected an application for entry by Eddie Zananiri, a leading member of the General Union of Palestinian Students which is affiliated to the PLO. Zananiri. 29. is a GUPS vice-president and president of its international relations bureau. The Minister for Immigration, Michael Mackellar. rejected the application for "security reasons" on the recommendation of the Crime Intelligence Bureau of the Australian police.
Under the Labor government led by Gough Whitlam, Zananiri was admitted to Australia last May when he came on a lecture tour of student campuses. His visit led to a series of clashes between Jewish students and PLO supporters and in the ensuing violence some students were hospitalized with serious injuries.
Zananiri had given as a reason for his application his desire to marry a Melbourne woman, Gail Cotton, secretary to Bill Hartley who is an extreme left-wing member of the Labor Party's national executive and a leading spokesman for the PLO in Australia.
Although government officials are not expressing doubts on the relationship between the Melbourns ## they were conventual that his presence in Australia would enable the PLO to have a permanent representative based here and that his activities, particularly at the universities, would again arouse community divisions.
The Zananiri application is the first test case of the attitude towards the PLO by the government of Fraser whose Liberal-National Party coalition ousted the Labor Party from government in a landslide victory last December. While in opposition. Fraser had opposed White lam's willingness to allow PLO officials to enter Australia.
Jewish students and community leaders have been further encouraged by the news of Zananiri's rejection which they see as evidence of the Fraser government's efforts to express a more pro-Israel policy than its predecessors in Canberra.

|The Ninth Day
Young adult historical fiction/fantasy
Ooligan Press, coming in Fall 2013
"The times, they are a-changin'"This companion novel to Blue Thread takes us to Berkeley, California, in December, 1964, and to Paris, France, in December, 1099, at the time of the First Crusade. Miriam Hope Friis is a bright and talented young woman in search of her voice. Due to a pronounced stutter, Hope struggles to communicate—which becomes especially challenging as the Free Speech Movement engulfs Berkeley. The one person with whom she shares a special connection is her ailing grandfather, whose own unbelievable past soon embroils Hope in a journey through time and history in a quest to save a baby from an awful fate. Hope must find her voice—and confront her own personal mistakes—or face the terrible consequences.
— Bob Dylan (shown here with Joan Baez),
from the title song of his album released in January, 1964
She stood by my desk, holding out her hands and beckoning me
to come closer. She looked about Dagmar's age. Bronze skin.
Gold-flecked hazel eyes, highlighted with white eyebrows and
white, nearly invisible eyelashes. No make-up. No jewelry. She
wore a floor-length beige wool robe and an ochre headscarf
that hid most of her white hair. Maybe she was part of a cult.
Maybe she was from some exotic country.
Miryam Tikvah. How could she know my Hebrew name? And how had she opened the window and closed it so quietly? Maybe she wasn't really there. Oh, God, not another flashback!
I took a breath and stared at her, waiting for her start to glowing or turn into some bizarre creature.
She didn't change.
Keeping her in my sight, I dug into the pile at the foot of Dagmar's bed and closed my hand around one of Dagmar's clogs. And I let it fly.
She caught the clog a second before it would have slammed into her stomach. Her eyes widened in surprise. "I have done nothing to harm you. I come in peace. Why do you insult me with the throwing of a shoe?"
I felt my shoulders relax. Better to be visited by a stranger than a flashback. "First of all, my name is Hope. Second, I threw the shoe to see if you were really here. And third, get out of my room."
The words gushed out of my mouth. Weird.
She sat on my bed, put Dagmar's clog on the floor, folded her hands in her lap, and beamed at me. "Then I, too, shall call you by this name in your place and time. Hope."
I inched closer to the bedroom door, ready to escape. There was something really off about this girl. She was probably one of Dagmar's friends, maybe someone from our temple, which was why she called me Miryam Tikvah. Her voice had a guttural quality to it. Israeli? She was probably stoned or worse—on LSD, which should be illegal in California but isn't. Lysergic acid di-whatever. Since my first and only trip, I'd renamed it Lethal-Suicidal-Deadly.
"I'm going to bed now," I said, pointing to my pajamas. "You'll have to wait for Dagmar outside." No stutter again, which sometimes happens when I am over-the-top angry. But I felt more frightened than angry, and fear usually makes it harder to push the words out. Crazy.
"I am not waiting for your Dagmar. I am waiting for you."

Two recent papers about heart disease from the Cleveland Clinic are making the rounds. The studies report that red meat and eggs cause heart disease because our gut bacteria converts carnitine and choline into Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a heart disease trigger.
At Huffington Post, Chris Kresser has questions about the papers:
[W]hile at first glance the papers from Dr. Hazen's group might appear to be the final nail in the coffin for the omnivorous among us, a closer inspection of their data reveals some troubling questions. First, a study back in 1999 found that seafood generates much higher levels of TMAO than red meat, eggs, or any of the other 46 foods tested. One species of fish, halibut, produced 107 times as much TMAO as beef, and 53 times as much TMAO as eggs. If high TMAO levels cause cardiovascular disease, and eating fish increases TMAO more than any other food, we'd expect to see high rates of heart disease in people who eat the most fish. Yet that is the opposite of what research shows. In fact, some studies have found eating more fish (particularly cold-water, fatty fish like salmon) reduces the risk of heart attack by a greater margin than statin drugs!In fact, whole grains could play a role in elevating TMAO levels:
In their second paper, Dr. Hazen's team raises the possibility that the foods we eat aren't the primary driving force behind our TMAO levels, because most people are able to excrete excess TMAO that accumulates in the blood via the urine.Read the rest
The new book, Paleofantasy: What Evolution Really Tells Us about Sex, Diet, and How We Live, is billed as an "exposé of pseudoscientific myths about our evolutionary past and how we should live today." It was written by Marlene Zuk, a professor of ecology, evolution, and behavior at the University of Minnesota.
Many people who follow the paleo regimen have reviewed the book on their blogs, but my favorite review so far is by Mark Sisson, author of The Primal Blueprint (my favorite paleo book). He says the problem with the book is that no one who follows paleo believes any of the straw man premises she sets up. In other words, Zuk's idea of Paleo is the real paleofantasy and her arguments against her own straw man version of paleo were explored and accepted years ago by the Paleo community.
Read the rest
After reading the book, John Durant tweeted "Paleofantasy shouldn't have been a book in 2013, it should have been a blog post in 2010," and that's as good a description as I can think of.
It's all very uncontroversial:
There is no one paleo diet.
Who's saying that? Humans have spanned the globe for millennia, surviving and even thriving in environments ranging from tropical to temperate, from arctic to near-aquatic, all the while subsisting on the wild foods available to those regions. Same basic diet of animals and plants, different configurations.
Evolution doesn't just stop and humans didn't just reach a state of perfect adaptation back before agriculture from which we've never progressed.

This is the "magic" of potatoes. You can literally live off them, and some people have and do. Of course, you don't want to, nor do I, but it's a useful tool when you understand what's going on, which is one hell of a lot of things as I'm learning. Let me give you the very basics, though, for review.
--Potato fills you up and it's difficult to eat enough to maintain body weight.
--Eaten plain, it's pretty unpalatable and so even if you can eat enough to maintain body weight, you're going to have to get over that.
--Adding a little fat (1 tsp per medium potato) and spices will make them more palatable, but you will still have a difficult time eating enough.
--They have quality amino acids, meaning you will tend to guard lean muscle (and I supplement with branch chain aminos and liver tablets).
--Calories count, i.e., not eating enough equals weight loss; having sufficient aminos equals fat loss preferentially.
--And as UK Veterinarian Peter has also hypothesized, there may be a cute little trick that helps this along. Now while Peter—as a species agnostic veterinarian—is difficult for mere mortals to understand, things begin to sink in upon 2-3 readings of a post. The gist as this mortal understands: very, very low fat is essential. Pancreatic beta cells require fat to produce the insulin necessary to regulate blood glucose.

I am a 25 year old single mother of one. I have wanted to fix my nose for at least the past ten years, but have constantly been talked out of it. Family members have told me that I might change my mind with age, or that the results could leave me worse off than I started. Well, here I am many years later, still hating my nose and wanting change it. I'm ready to do something for myself, because at the end of the day it is my nose and I am the one who lives with it and is bothered by it! I just set up my first consultation with Dr. Portuese, and would also like to have a consultation with Dr. Ridgway and Dr. Larrabee. If anyone has experience with any of those doctors or could offer me some advice, I would really appreciate it!!
I did it! - Seattle, WA
I am a 25 year old single mother of one. I have...
I had a consultation yesterday with Dr. Portuese, and it went very well! They took some before photos and did a simulated after on the profile pic....I loved it and if my profile turned out that way I would be thrilled. The dr said that what he would do to my nose is remove the bump, narrow the nasal bones because they are wide, and lift the tip ever so slightly. He said that because I am tall he wouldn't want to raise the tip too much and have people looking up my nose haha. The only thing that I am a little nervous about is that he said he wouldn't want to do anything to the tip. I feel like my tip is kind of round and bulbous, mostly when I smile. I do trust his opinion but of course I am nervous about this whole procedure and want to love my nose! I think I will ask him about it again. If I go with him I could have the surgery as soon as August 7th, so exciting!
Surgery scheduled!
August 7th it is! I'm so excited, and so nervous. I've wanted this for so long and I really hope I end up happy with the results.
Almost time :)
Picked up my meds, travel pillow, straws, and vaseline...I'm feeling ready! I already have all other little things I'll need for cleaning and healing. I still can't believe I'm actually doing this! For some reason I felt like it would always be something I wished for but never would happen--well its happening! Yay!
Today is the day!
I can't believe it's here! In a few hours I'll be in surgery. I'll update you all once it's over!
day of surgery
I'm a bruiser boo hoo..will update more later
My surgery yesterday was at noon with a check in time of 11 am. Waiting felt like an eternity! Once I met with Dr. Portuese though it all went very quickly. He was so great and really listened to me and put me at ease. His staff was wonderful as well.
I woke up from surgery in a pretty good mood and got going. Unfortunately in the car I started to feel pretty intense pain and nausea. The pain subsided after about 2 hours, but I did end up vomiting blood last night. Icky! The pain meds upset my stomach so I switched to extra strength Tylenol and feel much better!

3 days post op
I still look pretty bad but am feeling better with each day that passes. Still bruised and swollen, but my bruises are noticeably improving today!
Breathing through my mouth is frustrating. I will definitely celebrate the day my ability to breathe through my nose returns! I also have some massive scabs in my nose that are hard as rocks, but I think they are attached to stitches so I'm not going to mess with them. Better safe than sorry, I'll wait for my first post op appointment.
Hang in there darlings!

Food and eating
For anyone who hasn't had surgery yet, I highly recommend that you get prepared with food as much as possible before surgery. You want low sodium, high protein, and SOFT! Chewing is not pleasant when you're healing, plus you will likely need to breathe through your mouth at the same time. No fun. Here are some things that have been really great so far...
-Shredded chicken
-Cottage cheese with sliced pineapple or with sliced avocado
-Scrambled eggs
-Black beans with cheese
-Steamed cauliflower
-Lentil soup (not hot)
Hope this is helpful to someone :)

4 days post op
Loving my profile on my less - swollen side! No more bump yayyyy! I hope my tip doesn't drop
Day 5, Cast off tomorrow
I am having this stinging/burning/aching sensation inside the right side of my nose. Really hope I'm not getting an infection or something. I will have my first post-op appointment tomorrow, so I'll be sure to mention it then. Other than that, really excited yet nervous to see my nose without the cast tomorrow. From the front the tip of my nose looks super swollen right now, so I'm kind of afraid that I will be horrified when I look at myself in the mirror for the first time. Hope I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My bruises still look pretty yucky from the front but are now yellow purple and red which is much better than the black blue and purple that they were before. I plan to play with a little concealer tomorrow and see if it helps.
Cast off! Day 6
6 Days post op
So my cast is off and I feel super swollen, especially from the front. Even with the swelling though, I am thrilled with my profile. I know it will continue to improve, but even if it stayed like this it is a clear improvement from my "before" profile. When my cast came off, I wasn't horrified with myself from the front which is good, I wasn't even unhappy. I was just kinda like oh, hmm. But I know that there is a lot of swelling right now so I am going to be patient and try to just not think about it, and instead focus on what I am happy with, which is my profile! Good luck ladies and keep us all posted, it really is so helpful during this process :)
Front view
Yucky swelling from the front. ..must be patient :/
Day 7
Good morning ladies! From the front I'm noticing a bump on the side of my nose and I'm hoping it's just swelling. I do realize how early I am in the healing process. I turned my flash on for this photo because I feel like cell pics are so horrible at showing detail. Please excuse the drainage coming out of my nose, it has been running and there's still some blood in there!
day 8
Today was a bad day. All of my positivity went out the window and I hated my nose all day. I look 10 times worse from the front and it's making me anxious. I keep telling myself it's only day 8, but the possibility of hating how I look from the front is an overwhelming feeling. Ugh. Hoping it's just the swelling.
day 10
Thank you all for your wonderful support! This site and all of the people who contribute to it are really a blessing during the process of surgery and recovery. I realized that I was becoming obsessed with my nose and it's progression and it wasn't a good thing when it would inevitably look ugly and swollen. I've been kind of avoiding looking in mirrors and trying to focus on other things and it is helping! Wish you all the best in your healing, hugs!
day 12
When you compare this to the day 6 pic of my profile, you can see that some swelling has gone down!
2 weeks
Still love my profile! Unfortunately still feel like it looks strange from the front. I wish I could tell you all that I'm absolutely thrilled with my nose, but I can't say that at this point. I am hopeful though as my surgery was only 2 weeks ago! Time will tell :)
So, my profile is nice and smooth and the bump that was there is long gone. From the front though, there appears to be a bump on the left side of my nose. I saw it before but there was so much swelling. Now it feels hard and solid like bone. The right side feels smooth, and the left feels like it has a bump and like the bone is tilting outwards, if that makes sense. Should I be concerned, or is this something that could improve with time??
1 month check up
Had my one month post op visit today. It went well and I am not really worried about the bump like I was before. I think it is likely swelling and/or callus and I'm just going to give it time! Everything is looking pretty good and I can't believe it's only been a month. I did get one shot right above the tip of my nose where I am holding some swelling. It did sting, but wasn't too bad! I will post more pics later. Hope you're all doing very well :)
My fear...
The bump/outward curve of my nasal bone when looking at me from the front is there and worse. The bridge of my nose seems to be widening with time. Very sad :(
This shows the weird curve, but actually looks better than my actual nose. It looks wider and worse in person :(

We used 2-deoxy-2-[18F] fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) to evaluate the FDG uptake in patients with advanced and/or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS) undergoing therapy with Ecteinascidin-743 (ET-743, Trabectedin, Yondelis™).
The pilot study included nine patients with metastatic STS receiving a minimum of one cycle of treatment with trabectedin. Patients were examined using PET prior to onset of therapy and after completion of one or three cycles of trabectedin. Restaging according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) was performed in parallel using computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and served for reference.
Clinical outcome of nine evaluable patients was as follows: one patient with partial remission (PR), three patients with stable disease (SD), and five patients with progressive disease (PD). A more than 40% decrease of the standardized uptake value (SUV) of sequential PET examination could be demonstrated for the responding patient (PR), whereas patients with SD or PD showed a stable SUV, but no increase in SUV.
To our knowledge, this is the first small series of patients being treated with trabectedin and monitored using sequential PET imaging demonstrating SUV stabilization in nearly all monitored patients.
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a heterogeneous group of connective tissue malignancies arising from tissue of mesenchymal origin. They constitute less than 1% of all adult malignancies. The five-year overall survival rate in patients with STS of all stages amounts to only 50–60% [
Therefore, it is important to identify patients who are likely to benefit from chemotherapy or other molecular targeted agents. Morphologic imaging modalities like CT and MRI can be used for the assessment of tumour localization, size, and infiltration of the surrounding tissue as well as presence of satellite metastases. However, it has not been well established whether a significant change in the tumour size is a meaningful tool of outcome of patients with STS. Standard radiographic response has not correlated consistently with histological response or with disease-free or overall survival [
It was shown that FDG PET can visualize STS and detect local and distant recurrence of disease [
Ecteinascidin-743 (ET-743, Trabectedin, Yondelis™) is a tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid isolated from the Caribbean marine tunicate,
The purpose of the present study, which is the first covering this topic, was to analyse and discuss semi-quantitative FDG PET measurements in STS patients treated with trabectedin.
The pilot study includes nine patients with STS. Patients' characteristics including gender, age, histologies and grading according to the Federation Nationale des Centres de Lutte Contre le Cancer (FNCLCC) system [
Nine patients with metastatic disease received trabectedin in a dose of 1.5 mg/m2/day 1 as a 24 hour continuous infusion, repetition day 22 for at least one cycle. Altogether, we performed 18 cycles of therapy; treatment was continued until disease progression. One patient received trabectedin in a reduced dose of 1.3 mg/m2 because of liver metastases with elevated liver parameters. In spite of CTCAE grade I/II fatigue, nausea and neutropenia, no major (grade III and IV) toxicities occurred.
Patients were examined using FDG PET prior to onset of therapy and after completion of one to three cycles of trabectedin. Conventional imaging of the same target lesion using CT and/or MRI was performed in parallel to determine the response according to RECIST criteria. This data served as reference to evaluate the response determined with FDG PET. Dynamic PET studies were performed after intravenous injection of 300–370 MBq FDG for 60 min. A dedicated PET system (ECAT EXACT HR plus, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) was used for patient studies as described before [
Due to the small number of patients we performed a descriptive analysis of the data. Progression-free survival was defined as the time interval from the date of therapy induction until the tumour recurred or the patient died of sarcoma-related causes.
First CT and/or MRI scan was performed in all patients prior to onset of therapy with trabectedin. Restaging was performed using CT and/or MRI after one (n = 2) or three (n = 4) cycles of trabectedin. The remission status was evaluated according to RECIST criteria based on the tumour shrinkage in the CT and/or MRI scan. Clinical outcome according to RECIST criteria was as follows: one patient with PR, three patients with SD, and five patients with PD. The median progression-free survival from the date of therapy induction for all patients was 2.8 months [range: 0–7] with a median follow-up of 3.8 months [range: 1–7].
The median average SUV prior to onset of targeted therapy with trabectedin was 7.6 [range: 1.2–19.3] in comparison to 5.8 [range: 1.4–20.1] after treatment. The median SUVmax was 14.1 [range: 4.5–28.7] prior to therapy with trabectedin in comparison to 16.1 [range: 6.1–32.4] following treatment. We compared the average SUV values with the clinical response data according to RECIST criteria using conventional MRI and/or CT. One patient achieving PR showed a significant decrease of the SUV (6.7 > 3.5, decrease of 48%) and the SUVmax (13.5 > 6.1, decrease of 54%) indicating tumour response to treatment; the patient further continued treatment with trabectedin. In the literature, a cutoff value of 40% reduction from baseline has been chosen to differentiate responders [
In order to demonstrate that PET imaging may provide additional information compared to conventional MRI and/or CT, we describe a case from one of our patients (
There have been different implications for the use of PET in STS. It has been studied to predict the malignant potential and grade of tumours, to stage the malignant disease, to monitor tumour response to chemotherapy, to predict clinical benefit from chemotherapy, and to detect tumour recurrence after primary therapy [
During the last decade change in tumour size to cytotoxic treatment has been the parameter to predict the therapeutic benefit for the patients. However, changes in tumour size in soft tissue sarcomas measured with CT and/or MRI were not correlated consistently with patients' outcomes. Especially for gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST), this finding has already been well documented. A study of FDG PET in imatinib treated GIST showed that patients with normalization of tumour SUV within the first month of treatment have significantly longer time to progression of disease and better overall survival than those patients with increased FDG accumulation [
To our knowledge, the present paper describes the first small series of heavily pre-treated patients under therapy with trabectedin being monitored using sequential PET imaging. The purpose of the study was to describe certain PET characteristics of trabectedin and to identify patients who are likely to benefit from treatment. In our own study with high grade STS patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy, we could demonstrate that FDG PET may be used as a tool to predict patients' therapy outcome while differentiating between responders and non-responders after a limited drug exposure [
Taken together, FDG PET will certainly play an increasingly important prognostic and predictive role in the management of sarcomas. It could be used to assess the aggressiveness of the tumour in order to make early clinical decisions whether treatment is useful for the patient or not [

Here's what we do: For list membership purposes, email addresses are case insensitive.

However, Mailman is case preserving of the email address, and it uses the case-preserved form of the address for all outgoing mail. Thus if email@example.com was the address that was subscribed, that's the one that will get the list postings. This way we are RFC compliant where it matters, while maintaining a subscription policy for Mailman that, while arbitrary, certainly helps maintain list manager sanity. I've seen no complaints about this policy since it was implemented in Mailman before the 1.0 release. -Barry

Earlier this week, 24-year-old Princess Beatrice partied at bodo's in a tight, leather miniskirt.
It was from this stern and yet kind Church that bodo got his holidays.
Cut from paper some of the wild animals that bodo saw eating grass.
In respect to their social development the bodo are good examples of a very peculiar form.
The wild horses that bodo saw were about the size of ponies.
And we know very nearly as much about bodo's work as we know about that of a smallholder in France today.
bodo put his finger on his lips, then pointed toward the underbrush.
The bodo tribes will again be brought prominently forward when the ethnology of the peninsula of India is discussed.
What do you think the other Tree-dwellers did when they heard of the fire Sharptooth and bodo had?
But while the sky was still red in the west, bodo tied himself to a branch and fell asleep.

Post subject: 2013 Outlook - Is it that bleak, or are we missing something
Sitting here eating lunch atm and pondering our FA and roster moves so far and comparing it to our other NFC West rivals and it has me thinking, what is the plan?
You can tell a team's talent I believe, by how much is stolen by rivals if they are able too, look at our FA and cuts how many have signed or have even been chased by rivals teams, can count on one hand, that aint good, look at SF and SEA for example.
Our starters by the by rank ok or if not better than theirs, but our backups, or 2nd on the depth chart are way inferior, hence our poor record when injuries hit, hence their better record, we have no depth, that is why Whiz and Graves are no longer here, too many misses, not enough hits.
That being said, I am beginning to believe that 2013 is a makeup year. All our deals for players are small low risk deals, short term as well, nothing to rock the boat, nothing that cannot be fixed should it not work.
Are we clearing the house of all problems ? suffering through season 1 of Arians and then making a proper go of it in 2014?
Now time will tell, but I don't see us winning any NFC West game in 2013, each team has gotten much better and we have gotten worse technically.
Now I am not advocating 2 win seasons yet and I hope to be proven wrong, as tanking for a year effects bottom line, attendance, morale, star player attraction etc and all these need to be considered, but it might not be the worst idea to do it. If we can draft top 3 in 2014, we get the QB we want or even Clowney and then go from there, this team is not a one year fix, even if you have red tinted glasses.
Pretty much a ramble and not sure if you lot think about this stuff, but interested to hear your views on it all.

I'm sure everybody is thinking the same thing. But I've actually seen some "analysts" that think we've made positive moves and will be more competitive next season.
I don't see how but I'll remain optimistic. I think at the very worst, we're looking at a rebuild/retool year and can be a top the NFC W again in 2-3 years.

There is no guarantees, but right now, on paper our offense is looking a lot better than it was last season.
If you go back and watch this team over the final 5-6 weeks of the season, the offensive line is out there playing some pretty good ball (despite the efforts of Snyder and Colledge) and we are missing opportunities because our quarterbacks could not hit the broad side of a barn.
With Stanton and Hoyer coming into the season we are looking a lot better than where we were at from week 6ish onwards last season. And that is the period in which we won one game and lost a bazillion.

Against the pass we should remain top-notch but Dan Williams needs to a.) start playing and b.) play well. We liked using Nickel but he needs to be out there. With Schofield healthy and Acho past his sophomore slump the pass-rush should be there (I think we were top 10 in sacks anyway).
We won't run it well until a.) our OL drastically improved and b.) our RB's stay healthy. Our QB's will get injured if we continue to lead the league in sacks allowed.
Tbh I'd rather win 3 games than 6 but BA will have them motivated and they'll overachieve.

The playoff certainly seem unlikely in 2013. I honestly wouldn't mind trading our 2nd this year for a 1st next year and perhaps another pick. That's sets us up to trade up for a QB if Stanton/Hoyer don't work out and if it does, we'll have two first round picks in a draft that will probably be stronger than this one.
Ideally, IMO, we trade down in the first a little bit, pick up a 2nd or 3rd, draft Warmack, Lane Johnson, or a pass rusher, trade a 2nd for a future 1st and then some.

Apollo, I am more balls in than you.
I would trade our 2014 1st for a 2013 2nd and 3rd and go all in.
Extra second grab Manuel or Barkley or Wilson, whichever is there at say 37, then go OL with other 2nd rounder, then 2 LB, ILB and OLB in the 3rd say.
Really go out with a bang.

I really like the strategy this offseason - it's refreshingly different from what we did making a "splash" the year we traded for Kolb.
We have pretty consistently screwed up big contracts for free-agents from other teams - Colledge, Snyder, Bradley - so if I'm Steve Keim it was a top priority going into this free agency period to find a way to make better decisions. In addition to that, signing lower priced free agents to short contracts is a great way to mitigate risk if you still ended up making a mistake.
The defensive make-over losing Greg Toler, Kerry Rhodes, and A-Dub was tough. It's really hard to say what we're going to have / need with the changes to the defensive coaching staff and scheme though - they wanted to keep Toler, but didn't value him as much as Indy did and we ended up with Jerraud Powers and Antoine Cason instead. I'm in wait and see mode - regardless of the personnel moves - on the defensive side of the ball.
So going into this season I thought we have a chance to be a decent team if our pass defense doesn't regress and we improve even marginally on offense. My optimistic view now is we have a lot of good young players that improve this season and the QB position becomes at least a bit more settled than it has been the past 3 years. I don't see us as a contender this year - but if we get that situation going into the following season with more cap flexibility and more options at QB then the future looks good.
So even though we aren't contenders this season there's plenty to watch on the road to contending:
1. Biggest issue - coaching staff - really need to see what they bring to the table and on defense if they can keep at least some of the good aspects of last year's performance.
2. Can we at least count on Drew Stanton or Bryan Hoyer - or a rookie - emerging as an average performer at QB with some ability to stretch the field?
3. The running game - can we get the yards we need consistently or even break off some big plays, hopefully behind an improving line?
4. Young players - even more this year I'm looking for young guys to improve / continue to improve and form the core of this team going forward.

A Pickens County man walked into an Oconee courtroom charged with failing to pay state taxes for five years. He walked out of that courtroom, having admitted his guilt. But he was not sent to jail. A plea agreement Thursday settled the state's case against Central resident Valentino Oglesby, 62 years old. While working for Duke Energy and drawing an annual salary in excess of $80 thousand a year, Oglesby was arrested and charged with failing to pay state taxes for the years 2006 and 2008 through 2011. The agreement allowed Oglesby to plead guilty to criminal counts covering three of those years. The indictments charging failure to pay tax for the other two years are dismissed, according to the agreement signed by Carol McMahan, an assistant South Carolina Attorney's General. Judge Cordell Maddox gave Oglesby one year in prison, suspended on the service of five years probation. Conditions of the sentence require the defendant to make restitution to the state in the amount of 14 thousand, 564 dollars. According to court documents, Oglesby must pay an additional $1 thousand to cover the costs of the prosecution's case against him.

Michelle Williams co-founded the Yoga for Single Mom's Project to help make it easier for single mothers to attend yoga classes. Michelle found yoga was extremely helpful when she was going through a tough time in her life.
Yoga has a wonderful way of bringing peace to your mind, body and soul. The practice also encourages us to be thankful every day and to give of ourselves freely.
And that's the great thing about being a celebrity. They are in a unique position to give back. According to Michelle,
"Yoga gave me relief like nothing else; it made me a better person and a better mother. I could come back to my daughter anew."
After realizing how much yoga had helped her find her own peace, she wanted to give the same gift to others. Being a single mother she understood the challenges and expense of trying to find childcare.
How the Yoga for Single Mom's Project Works
The Yoga for Single Mom's Project partners with yoga studios to offer free classes to single mothers. And as a bonus they also provide childcare while the mom is in class. The project encourages single moms to find time for themselves doing activities like yoga.
Motherhood can be challenging. And doing it by yourself can be even harder. But it's important to carve out a little bit of time to focus on your own well being and happiness. And yoga is an excellent choice to help combat the stress that can sometimes accompany single motherhood.
Yoga can be both relaxing and empowering and the same time, which is pretty cool. It encourages strength of mind, body and soul. And as any student can tell you, you will almost always leave class with a feeling of confidence and peace. These feelings will carry over into your daily life making it that much easier to cope with the daily responsibilities and energy needed to take care of a family.
Other Celebrities that Found Peace and Health through Yoga
Lots of celebrities have found inner peace through doing yoga. Yoga can help you become more self aware, reduce stress and relieve tension.
Gwyenth Paltrow practices yoga every morning. Julia Roberts starred in the movie, Eat, Pray, Love which was a story about a woman on a journey to find herself. Yoga was a big part of the "Pray" segment of the film. And while that was only a movie, the star is very committed to including yoga and meditation in her personal life.
Yoga has often been used in helping people who struggle to overcome self-destructive or addictive tendencies. It promotes more positive thought patterns. Some 12 step programs even include the practice of yoga in their program, such as the Yoga of Recovery retreat in New York City.
Robert Downy Junior is one of those celebrities whose struggle with addition is well known. He is also one of the funniest and engaging actors to watch on the big screen. He now credits yoga with helping him overcome the tougher times.
Yoga Can Help New Moms get back in Shape
Yoga helped Rebecca Romijn get back in shape after gaining 60 pounds before the birth of her twins. She used Bikram or hot yoga to help challenge her body and lose some of the belly fat that came with the pregnancy. She also had a little bit of mom guilt when leaving her girls to go workout. But she also realized the importance of taking care of yourself.
As a mom it's very important to take care of yourself physically and mentally. You're no good to anyone unless you do. There are days when I rush out to a yoga class just as I'm starting to feel like I might be losing my mind.
Yoga can also help you lose weight without doing cardio or the more strenuous types of yoga. Softer forms of yoga can get you started on your journey to get back in shape. A consistent yoga practice will help build the right mindset to get healthier. As you continue to practice you will get stronger and more confident to tackle the more challenging forms of yoga and life.
Finding Creative Solutions to Child Care
While most of us are not celebrities, we can still benefit from the healing power of yoga. And even if the Yoga for Single Mom's project hasn't come to your city, we are here to help you find ways to fit yoga into your routine. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Locate a gym or yoga studio that offers child care services.
- Trade times with a fellow yogi friend. Alternate days and offer to babysit for each other while you are at class.
- Practice at home with an online class, DVD or TV yoga class.
- Find a mommy and me class where you can do yoga with your child. It's a great bonding experience you will simply love.
- Find a yoga teacher who works out of his/her home who will let you bring your child with you.
Just remember that old saying, "Where there is a will, there is a way." The hardest part is just getting started.
Good luck and Namaste.

Malaysia has held rates but raised the proportion of deposits banks must keep with the central bank, as signalled by the bank. The reserve requirement will double from 1 to 2 per cent, effective April 1. The overnight policy rate remains at 2.75 per cent.
Raising the reserve requirement has become a favoured alternative to raising rates in countries wanting to tighten without attracting certain types of destabilising short-term capital inflows. Bank Negara Malaysia described the use of the reserve requirement as "pre-emptive" and "an instrument to manage liquidity and not a signal on the stance of monetary policy".

Thirteen Indian reservations were in Oklahoma Territory as established by an act of Congress on May 2, 1890. The last of these
reservations to be dissolved by allotments was that owned and occupied by the Osages, embracing about 1,470,059 acres, now
comprising Osage county.
In 1890 the Osages, like the Kaws, Poncas and Otoes, were not disposed to take allotments or to sell any of their lands. They
claimed that there was only enough good land to meet the needs of the tribe. They were also influenced by a number of "citizen"
Pottawatomies, living among them, who had taken allotments, squandered their substance and were "roaming about, the poorest
of the poor."2 The Osages were exempt from the provisions of the General Allotment Act; but by 1892 most of them had been induced to locate
"claims." Thus the idea of personal ownership of land was growing among them.
On June 22, 1893 the Cherokee Commission went to Pawhuska, the capital of the Osage nation, and entered into negotiations
with the Osages in an effort to persuade them to take allotments and to sell their surplus lands. Regardless of their "crude
form of government with a written constitution3 and laws," they agreed that the power to enter into negotiations with the Commission resided in the people. The Commission
remained until the first week of August, and although general councils were held from day to day, yet no agreement was made.
"In the beginning all seemed opposed to entering upon the business for which we visited them," the Commission said in their
final report, "but as the desires of
Page 245
the Government were developed by discussion a considerable number, including quite all of the half or mixed bloods, expressed
themselves as willing to adopt the new relation sought by the Government if the details of an agreement could be made acceptable
to them; but the majority of the tribe, composed almost entirely of the full blood element, refused even to discuss the propositions
submitted to them . . . . An ill feeling had developed between the contending factions, and there was not even a hope of reaching
an agreement at this time."4
Preliminary to entering into an agreement the Osages proposed to secure a settlement of "unsettled differences" with the government.
The differences included payment of certain interest accruing upon their invested funds, adjustment of the provision in their
treaty of 1865 providing for the use of certain funds from the sale of Osage lands in Kansas for the education and civilization
of Indians in the United States,5 and payment for certain lands in western Kansas. The full bloods said that the purging of the annuity roll of the names of
persons illegally placed thereon was a necessary preliminary step to any agreement. The Osages also had been invited by the
Cherokees to hold out with them in the matter of their present relations with the government and to yield only when they yielded;
and the Osages wished to become the "Sixth Civilized Tribe" and finally a part of the "Indian State" which they fondly hoped
would be in the near future organized and recognized. A paper was presented to the Commission signed by 279 members of the
tribe declining to cede lands on any terms. A proposition, signed by 161 members, was also submitted to the Commission providing
for the cession of the surplus lands, each member of the tribe to take an allotment of 320 acres, one-half of which should
be held in trust for five years and the other half for twenty-five years, the surplus lands to be paid for at one dollar and
a quarter an acre.6 The Commission believed that their visit had paved the way to a later agreement which could be made in a few months. Agent
Page 246
C. A. Dempsey believed that within a year satisfactory terms could be made.7
The annuity roll was a factor of continuous importance in the history of the Osage allotment. It appears that during the decade
following the establishment of the National Council in 1881 the increasing wealth of the Osages made citizenship of great
value, and led to a scramble by certain persons for places on the roll;8 and that sums of money were not infrequently paid to members of the Council or influential individuals for the purpose of
enrolling persons of questionable right to enrollment. In conformity with a resolution passed by the Council, January 25,
1894, a report was sent by the local agent to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs stating that the purging of the roll was
a matter of great importance to the Osages.9 It was stated that during the past four years a number of names had been added, it was thought, illegally. "Every name added
illegally," they said, "deprives us of our just dues."
If the Osages were jealous in regard to their money, it would seem reasonable that they would be reluctant to allow intruders
to share in the division of their lands. The Department of the Interior, content to request a list of the names of those charged
with fraudulent enrollment and the evidence,10 proceeded to send a commission to the reservation in 1894 to negotiate with the Osages for the surrender to the United States
of such portion of their reservation as they might be willing to cede.11 On May 18 the Osage Commission consisting of James S. Hook, chairman, John A. Gorman and John L. Tullis were appointed for
the purpose. Under
Page 247
Instructions12 approved by the Department of the Interior on May 25, negotiations were to be had with a full council of Indians, and any
agreement concluded should be assented to by a majority of male adults in order to be valid. The Commission was advised not
to use "undue pressure," but to present the matter plainly and carefully for the consideration of the Osages. The question
of allotment was bound up with that of the cession of surplus lands.
The Commission met with the Osages frequently at the Round House, about a mile from Pawhuska, and attempted to show them the
importance and value of allotment and cession of the surplus lands. Toward the close of June prospects of success appeared
bright enough to the Commission. They felt "quite sanguine" that if the meeting to be held June 29 did not result in an immediate
agreement, it would lead to another ere long that would result in an agreement.13 The Commission realized, however, that the Osages felt that they held a pretty independent position, and that hard, patient
and persistent work would be necessary, not only at the councils but on the individual Indians as well. Their realization
soon became an established fact.
On July 13 a committee of nine members, headed by Black Dog and James Bigheart, and claiming to represent almost the entire
full blood population, submitted to the Commission an "ultimatum"14 of six articles explaining why the Osages were not prepared to take allotments at that time. They submitted that they had
not yet made sufficient progress in civilization to take lands in severalty and that if any representations had been made
to the Office of Indian Affairs that they were prepared to take allotments or desired them, such representations had been
made by unauthorized parties. They stated that they were satisfied with their present form of government; that their condition
was improving as evidenced by schools, agricultural implements, bridges, etc.; that funds from the sale of the Osage trust
lands in Kansas had been misapplied and other wrongs inflicted upon the tribe so that "we could not agree to the sale or division
of our present possessions while we have such large balances unsettled from the sale of the lands formerly owned by us." They
submitted that there was likelihood of their being transferred to the Five Civilized Tribes, that a Committee of Congress
had given a delegation encouragement in that respect and that consequently the tribe did not wish to take action as a nation,
singly or alone. They observed that allotment under the present state of affairs would result in their becoming a
Page 248
part of Oklahoma Territory, to which they seriously objected, owing to the fact that the Arkansas river "at times dangerous
to cross" separated them from the Territory.
If the "ultimatum" may be likened to a boil, Article Three was the core. It reads: "We claim that we have quite a number of
people here, placed on the Roll as Osages, that are not entitled to be there. They are drawing the same annuity that is being
drawn by the Osages by blood, and have drawn a large amount of back money, and in case of allotment would get the same amount
of land as the Osages. This we cannot consent to. A delegation of our people recently visited Washington and laid the question
before the department, and the Indian Office promised that where the Council investigated the matter and found that any parties
were not entitled to Citizenship as Osages that they should be stricken from the Rolls. We have not had time to investigate
this subject, as we have to examine witnesses and take testimony that will satisfy the Department in acting upon their cases.
We would respectfully represent that we cannot take any action looking to allotment until these cases are settled. These people
are participating in our Councils, and voting to allot our lands, when we claim they have no right to do so. And of course
they will vote themselves land if they are allowed to participate in our proceedings. We cannot consent to any other arrangement
until this question is settled."
On the following day Hook informed the Office of Indian Affairs that from the beginning more feeling had been manifested in
the question of the annuity roll than in any other feature of the negotiations; and that the Commission had fully, and they
hoped satisfactorily, met the other articles of the "ultimatum." He said that it was the opinion of Acting Agent Freeman that
the Indians would never make an agreement until the roll was thoroughly investigated and the matter set at rest one way or
the other; and that the time was opportune to make the investigation. Hook stated that it was the belief of the Commission
that if the Indians were directed to prepare and present properly a list of the names of the persons in question, and the
Commission or the local agent be directed to conduct the investigation, the important and perplexing question might be settled.
While the Commission believed that an agreement could be effected under existing conditions, it was observed that the signers
would largely be composed of those persons whose rights were questioned. It was also observed that there were many Indian
widows, heads of families (and also Indian women married to white men) who were directing the cultivation of large farms,
were interested in annuities, and yet who were excluded from any agreement that the Commission might make with the tribe.
And Hook asked if instructions could be modified so as to give such women a voice in business so important to them.
Page 249
But Secretary Smith and Commissioner Browning considered that the investigation would occupy a long time and could not be
conducted by the Commission;15 and they could not agree that an unbroken precedent conferring on male adults a distinctive privilege should be changed.
Repair was considered a difficult task and the Commission was advised, in the modern phrase, to rumble on with a flat tire.
It was suggested that the objections of the full bloods might be overcome by the insertion of a provision in the proposed
agreement stipulating that the rights of all mixed bloods to whom they might object should be fully investigated either by
the Department of the Interior or by the Osage Council, subject to the approval of the Department of the Interior.16 The same provision should also extend to those claiming citizenship in the nation by adoption. Browning realized, however,
that there was no prospect of the surplus lands of the reservation being opened to settlement in the near future.17
Because the weather was "extremely hot, water very poor, no ice," and since no general council would be called for some time,
Hook and Tullis seemed to have desired a leave of absence.18 A leave without pay and without traveling expenses, for not exceeding forty days, was granted the Commission on August 2.19 Gorman spent the last half of August in Washington and on September 1 he was directed to proceed to the reservation to pave
the way for a speedy termination of the labors of the Commission by personally talking over and explaining some of the matters
brought up in the councils before the work was suspended.20 It appears that Hook and Tullis returned to the reservation late in September and that little was done by the Commission
in October further than having talks and consultations with the Indians looking toward a meeting with the tribe. On November
1 Secretary Smith addressed the following communication to the Commission through the Office of
Page 250
Indian Affairs: "The reports I have, satisfy me that no agreement with the Osage Indians is probable, and that it is a useless
waste of time and money to continue the negotiations with them. You will therefore close up the work of your commission at
once and return to your homes, unless you are prepared to show the information to be incorrect."21 The Commission were able to convince him that the work should be continued for the present.22
If the commissioners suppressed personal feeling and were not a house divided against itself, there was at least among them
a lack of desirable cooperation. Hook prepared an offer embodying the proposition made by certain Osages to the Cherokee Commission,
namely that the Indians take three hundred and twenty acres each and sell the balance of their lands to the United States
at one dollar and a quarter an acre.23 Gorman and Tullis, being the majority of the Commission, voted down the offer suggested by the chairman and it was not submitted
to the Indians. The two dissenters prepared an offer and at least one of Hook's objections to its features was not well taken.
The signing that occurred seems to have been limited to sustaining objections to a proposed, incomplete agreement presented
by the Commission through its majority vote. On the afternoon of December 18, after the last meeting held by the Commission
was dissolved, a paper was presented to Hook containing "about 15 or 16 pages of foolscap, or type-written articles, and propositions
indicating the settlement that would suit the halfbreeds." But Hook's sympathy lay with the full bloods.
On the morning of December 21 Hook and Tullis started for their homes and Gorman reported that he would close out matters
and start for Washington as soon as possible.24 Hook said that the Commission had closed its work finally, while Gorman said that it had suspended work for the present.25 On January 21, 1895, Gorman transmitted to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs the proceedings of the councils held with the
Indians, and other papers.26 He made a report in which he simply stated that the Commission was unsuccessful in its efforts to obtain an agreement. This
"half page" statement was very unsatisfactory to Hook who said that when the Commission parted at Pawhuska it was understood
that Gorman should take the records of the meetings to Washington and there prepare a report. On February 1 Hook, without
the records kept by the clerk or stenographer, made a twenty-three page report as a
Page 251
substitute for the report he had expected Gorman to make.27 Hook did not find the half-breeds enthusiastic for a division of lands. He observed that as long as they could get considerable
quarterly interest and hold three-fourths of the land, they would "not shed tears or lose any sleep, because allotment is
postponed."28 The Commission was discontinued February 12 by order of the Secretary of the Interior. When we consider that the question
of the tribal roll was a source of bitter contention on the reservation, that the Osage Commission was successor to the "Jerome
Commission" which was of bad repute among many Indians in Oklahoma Territory, and that the Osages had a good Indian title,
it is not singular that Hook, Gorman and Tullis, unable to cooperate well in drawing up and presenting an offer, met outright
A few weeks after the Commission left the reservation a movement among the full bloods was on foot to send a delegation to
Washington to take up principally the matters contained in the "ultimatum." But Commissioner Browning said that it would be
a needless expense for the tribe, that nothing of importance could be accomplished by a visit and that Congress and the executive
departments were busy.29 On January 15 or 18, 1895, and on February 5 the National Council passed resolutions requesting that the matters in question
be given consideration.30 On February 6 Acting Agent Freeman reported that the relations existing between the full bloods and half-breeds were of such
a nature as to require a full and authorative settlement of the rights of the latter. "In my opinion," he said, "the full
bloods will not listen to any proposition of allotment until this is done."31
After the failure of two commissions, authorities at Washington were ready in 1895 to begin where they should have begun two
years earlier, that is, to take up the question of determining the rightful persons among whom the lands should be divided,
which question rested on the annuity roll. On February 14 Freeman was
Page 252
instructed to have a delegation come to Washington32 and on April 12 the Secretary of the Interior directed that the National Council furnish the Office of Indian Affairs the
names of the persons alleged to have been unlawfully enrolled, to the end that definite action might be had. The list, containing
446 names, was accordingly furnished and on February 21, 1896 instructions were approved directing Commissioners Washington
J. Houston and Clarence E. Bloodgood to conduct the investigation.33 In 1897 Freeman reported that "the real interests of the tribe the past year has been one of unusual political excitement,
and nearly everything else has been at a standstill."34 A very thorough and painstaking investigation was had "and all persons in interest were given every opportunity to furnish
all the facts and evidence possible."35 Attorneys for both the tribe and defendants applied their wits, and the cases, with voluminous evidence and testimony, were
submitted to the Department of the Interior where by the close of 1898 the matter had been given careful consideration.36
In 1897 Freeman observed an increasing desire of the full bloods "to take up claims" and to use care and intelligence in selecting
lands. However, local agents considered allotment a subject of little importance during the closing years of the century.
In 1901 Governor Jenkins reported that it was generally believed that the Osages would not be adverse to taking lands in severalty
if proper efforts were made in that direction; but that it seemed likely that when they took allotments they would sell the
balance of the lands themselves.37
The same year Special Agent Frank C. Armstrong investigated conditions on some seventeen reservations and concluded that "all
reservations should be surveyed and allotted as soon as possible." He found that one-half of the Osages were capable of managing
their own affairs. It was his belief that if the matter were presented clearly and frankly to the tribe an agreement could
be made which would improve their condition, break up completely their tribal dealings and organizations, stop friction between
the full, bloods and mixed bloods, and place the members of the tribe upon
Page 253
their individual resources. He briefly outlined a plan38 for the division of funds and lands. In regard to the latter he said: "I suggest that the land be divided per capita after
each one has a farm of 160 acres of good agricultural land. This 160 acres should be held for twenty-five years, under the
usual restrictions of the allotment act. All over 160 acres they should be allowed to dispose of under a proper supervision,
in lots of 160 acres or less, but not more than 220 acres39 in any one year. They would receive in a division of land now about 805 acres. Many of them would not sell at all, but would
lease. Whilst if they did sell all their surplus, they would still have 160 acres reserved for a home and farm."
The first step, that regarding the selection of one hundred and sixty acres, was taken forthwith. A few whites and mixed-blood
were attempting to hold a considerable portion of the common land for their own private use and gain and at the same time
participate in the distribution of the proceeds arising from the leasing of other common lands. On September 4 Acting Commissioner
Tonner directed that each head of a family and each single person holding more than six hundred and forty acres should have
his holding reduced to that amount.40
Assistant Chief James Bigheart, spokesman of the full bloods; suggested what he considered a better plan41 and one agreeable to Agent Oscar A. Mitscher and the Office of Indian Affairs. As incorporated in instructions42 to Mitscher on January 16, 1902 it provided that each member of the tribe might select not to exceed one hundred and sixty
acres as a homestead, within or without the leased pastures, such selections to conform to the public surveys, The lands should
be surveyed at the expense of the individual43 and should be nontransferable. In addition to homestead selections the local agent was authorized to assign each family or
each single person44 who actually owned his own cattle or other domestic stock, not to exceed six hundred and forty acres, such land to conform
to the public surveys and, with minor exceptions, to be made on the Osage public domain outside the pastures as then constituted.
Schedules of homesteads and grazing lands were to be made. On receipt of instructions Mitscher immediately sent out a
Page 254
circular letter to parties whom he thought were holding more agricultural land than one hundred and sixty acres for each member
of the family.45 He encouraged the selection of homesteads and before the close of the summer some four hundred persons had made selections.46 The provision regarding surveys proved to be a vexing one for farms had been laid out to conform to available farming lands,
usually along creek bottoms. In some instances a farm extended within the limits of four or five quarter sections.
It should be remembered that these homestead selections, while respected by the Office of Indian Affairs and the Indians,
were tentative, and that the chooser did not have separate title to his selection.47 The title to selections was vested in the tribe and the individual selector could not secure title without authority of Congress.
"No allotments in severalty have been made to the Osage Indians nor are any at present contemplated," said Acting Commissioner
Tonner in 190348 It was contemplated on the part of the government, however, that a tract selected should constitute the allotment of the
individual whenever the lands should be allotted under act of Congress. Until after statehood49 a very great majority of the tentative homesteads were leased and occupied by white farmers under "informal leases" which
were of no legal status since the Indians could not make legal leases. There was an extensive illegal occupancy of lands.
In lieu of courts the local agent settled difficulties between lessor and lessee and required each party to live up to his
