1 Family Practice Oncology Network Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer (Suspected) Part 2 External Review Effective Date: TBD SCOPE: Part 2 of this guideline outlines recommendations for the prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of upper gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies, ncluding pancreatic cancer, neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) of the pancreas and duodenum, and cancer of the extrahepatic biliary tract. The primary targett audience for this guideline is community general practitioners providing first contact or primary health care. KEY RECOMMEND DATIONS Screening for upper GI cancers, including extrahepatic biliary and pancreatic cancers, is not recommended. Painless jaundice should be considered to be pancreatic cancerr until proven otherwise. If pancreatic cancer is suspected, investigations should be expedited. There is no evidence that routine imaging or laboratory investigations, including Ca 19-9, are useful in detecting recurrent metastatic disease. 1,2 Patients facing potentially life-limiting conditionss may benefitt from advance care planning (see Resources). PREVENTION The risk of many of these cancers increases with smoking. 3,4 Excessivee alcohol consumption, as well as the presence of diabetes and chronic pancreatitis increase the risk of pancreatic cancer. 3 As with many other cancers, preventative measures include reducing alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy weight, and smoking cessation. SCREENING Theree are no recommended screening guidelines for pancreatic or bile duct cancer. 2,5 The incidence of these cancers is low (e.g. the incidence of pancreatic cancer in B.C. is cases per population, and bile duct cancer 1-2 cases perr population). 6,7 Screening with EUS or MRI may be indicated in patients at high risk (seee Risk Factors) for pancreatic cancer. 5,8 Risk Factors The incidence of pancreatic cancer increases significantlyy from the age of Non-hereditary and Helicobacter pylori infection. 3 Hereditary pancreatic cancer account forr 5-10% of cases. 8 People at higher risk risk factors include smoking, chronic pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus, obesity, include: 5 individuals with two or more first degree relativess with pancreatic carcinoma carriers of BRCA2 mutations carriers of p16 mutations patients with Lynch syndrome with affected first degree relatives patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome Pancreatic NETs (pnets) are rare and can occur at any age, and in both sexes equally. 9 Page 1 of 5
2 Pancreatic neoplasms can occur as part of four hereditary conditions: 9 multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL), neurofibromatosis 1 (NF-1; von Recklinghausen disease), and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) The most common association of pnets is with MEN-1 (80%). 9 Bile duct cancer occurs equally in men and women, and incidence peaks in the sixth and seventh decade. 7 Prevalence is higher in South East Asia, and may be related to chronic infection with Clonorchis sinensis and Opisthorchis viverrini. 10 Risk factors for bile duct cancer in Western populations include: 10 inflammatory bowel disease primary sclerosing cholangitis congenital choledochal cysts possible exposure to environmental toxins (i.e. dioxins, asbestos, nitrosamines, Thorotrast) The incidence of cholangiocarcinoma in patients with underlying primary sclerosing cholangitis is 9-40%. 10 DIAGNOSIS Pancreatic Cancer Pancreatic cancers are of exocrine or endocrine origin. Exocrine tumors are the most common type of pancreatic cancer, of which 85% are adenocarcinoma. 11 Approximately 10% are adenosquamous carcinoma; the remainder are endocrine tumours (pnets) amouting to <4% of all pancreatic neoplasms. 9 Pancreatic exocrine carcinomas are associated with poor prognosis, 12 and patients are often asymptomatic until late in the course of the disease. Ampullary cancers have a better prognosis than pancreatic adenocarcinoma. 11 Neuroendocrine Tumours Neuroendocrine tumours arise from the diffuse neuroendocrine system of the gut. 13 They are rare and include NETs of the stomach, duodenum and pancreas. Bile Duct Cancer Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is often mistaken for hepatocellular carcinoma, or metastatic disease from an unknown primary site. 14 Over 90% of bile duct carcinomas are adenocarcinomas. 14 Signs and Symptoms This is a difficult diagnosis to make as many of the symptoms of these cancers are non-specific and can mimic benign and other malignant conditions (e.g. ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, primary peritoneal cancer). In pancreatic cancer, the two most common presenting symptoms are abdominal pain and jaundice. 15 Other non-specific symptoms are included below: Painless jaundice is considered to be pancreatic cancer until proven otherwise. Fatigue, anorexia, weight loss, dull epigastric pain, early satiety. 12 Abdominal pain, back pain or weight loss are usually signs of late-stage disease. 8 Persistent abdominal pain and ongoing weight loss should prompt appropriate investigations. Page 2 of 5
3 NETs present as functional or nonfunctional tumours: Functional tumours are characterized by excess hormone production resulting in clinical syndromes (e.g. carcinoid syndrome) and are named according to the hypersecreted hormone (e.g. insulinomas, gastrinomas). 13 Non-functional tumours are not due to excess hormone production, and alternatively present due to tumour bulk; tumours are slow growing and metastatic disease is usually present at diagnosis. The patient may present with intermittent abdominal discomfort for months or years, often interpreted to be a functional disorder. 13 Investigations While the incidence of these cancers is low, it is important to maintain a high index of suspicion in patients with persistent symptoms. If cancer is suspected, investigations should be expedited (urgent request for abdominal imaging). Initial investigations should include abdominal imaging (US and CT scan), and bloodwork (CBC, creatinine, liver function tests, tumour markers). CA 19-9 serum antigen is the tumour marker for pancreatico-biliary malignancy, however, this marker is not specific to these cancers. 14 Indications for Referral to a Specialist A person should be referred urgently to a specialist if they have obstructive jaundice. A person with an upper abdominal mass should be referred urgently to a specialist. STAGING The TNM classification system is the international standard. Refer to the BC Cancer Agency gastrointestinal guidelines (Refer to Resources), for a link to staging diagrams and definitions for T, N, and M descriptors. TREATMENT Treatment is as recommended by the surgeon and the oncologist/bc Cancer Agency team. Pancreatic Cancer Surgical treatment offers the only potential cure for resectable carcinoma of the pancreas. Adjuvant therapy may be offered following surgery. Surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy may be indicated for palliation. Neuroendocrine Tumours A multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of NETs is recommended. 9,13 Patients with resectable NETs can expect a good intermediate term prognosis. Resectable NETs are managed by endoscopic or surgical resection. Unresectable metastatic disease may benefit from debulking for palliation. For gastrin-producing NETs, proton pump inhibitors should be used to control acid-related symptoms. 13 Biliary Tract Cancer Surgery of resectable tumours is the only potentially curative treatment available. 16 The role of adjuvant chemotherapy remains undefined. 16 Patients with advanced disease may achieve a prolonged period of palliation through surgical, endoscopic and radiological drainage procedures. 16 In a palliative setting, chemotherapy may provide a benefit. 16 FOLLOW-UP At the discretion and direction of the oncologist, the patient may be discharged to the primary care provider. Page 3 of 5
4 Follow-up care may include the following: Surveillance for recurrent disease or late effects of treatment when indicated. Monitoring and treating complications and/or side effects. Providing patient support. Symptom management, best supportive care and the involvement of palliative services. There is no evidence that routine imaging or laboratory investigations, including Ca 19-9, are useful in detecting recurrent metastatic disease. Early detection of asymptomatic metastases does not enhance survival. Investigations should be performed based the clinical presentation of a patient who is suspected of having recurrent or metastatic disease. 1,2 Patients with a life-limiting disease or illness may benefit from the development of an advance care plan (ACP) (see Resources) that incorporates the patient s values and personal goals, indicates potential outcomes, and outlines linkages with other healthcare professionals that would be involved in the care and their expected roles. The ACP is an opportunity to also identify the patient s alternate substitute decision maker or legal health representative. Specific recommendations will be provided in the patient s discharge letter. At any time the patient and/or primary care provider may consult with the BC Cancer Agency for any follow-up questions or concerns. RESOURCES REFERENCES 1 BC Cancer Agency.

Hagel Commencement Address at Gonzaga High School
Below is United States Senator Chuck Hagel's (R-NE) commencement address, "Five Lessons for Graduates" delivered Sunday at Gonzaga High School in Washington, DC:
"After 61 years of living, I still do not have all the answers to life. But I have learned some things. I'd like to share five lessons I have learned over those years that might be of some use to you as you look forward from this day.
Lesson 1: Take risks and seek new experiences. Nothing worth having in life comes without the risk of failure. Don't be afraid to fail. Failing to try is worse than failing to achieve. Your generation will have more options than any generation of Americans. Take advantage of them. Seek out new challenges.
Theodore Roosevelt said, "...the man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done."
Lesson 2: Do what is ethical, not just what is legal. Too often, especially in Washington, we define our standards of conduct by legality. We blow past the ethical boundaries trying to maximize profit or prestige. There is a difference between ethical and legal conduct. Hold yourself to a higher standard than simply what you can get away with, and don't cut corners. Your real competitor, and critic, is ultimately yourself.
During your life, when you are faced with difficult decisions, almost always, you will know that the right thing to do...is the right thing to do. Do it. Listen to yourself and be guided by what you believe is right. Standing against the crowd and doing what you think is right may be very lonely and frightening, but it will serve you well over the long haul. And you'll sleep better.
A Chinese proverb says, "Laws control the lesser man. Right controls the greater one."
Lesson 3: Don't focus on the externals. Gonzaga has given you a tremendous start in life, but it is only a start. Do not lose your sense of curiosity and quest for improvement. Read, read, read and then read some more. The world in which you will be living will be more competitive than any generation has ever known, but don't let that throw you. We too often focus on the externalsthe next achievement, the next grade, the next job. Remember that you have both a life and a career. Prepare yourself personally, and the professional will take care of itself. This is a tough challenge in today's world.
Lesson 4: Give something back. You have all benefitted from living in a country that allowed you the opportunity to receive a first-rate education, built on the bedrock Jesuit principle of service. With this privilege comes a responsibility to give something back to your country and your fellow man. Whether it is mentoring a child, serving in the military, running for office, or volunteering for a noble cause, this country will provide you countless everyday meaningful opportunities to give something back to society. Patriotism and service are old fashioned values, but they never outlive their time. We all have an obligation in life to help make a better world for all people.
Winston Churchill said, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."
Lesson 5: Remember what really matters in life. We live in an age of instantand constant communication. "Immediacy" in everything we do. In many ways this has made our lives easier to live and more productive than ever before, but the challenge for you in this "immediate world" will be to ensure that it does not diminish the things that are most important in life. Everyone who will walk across this stage this afternoon is here because family, friends and teachers helped you get here. In life, it is these great treasures that matter most. Do not forget it. So make the call, write the note or send the flowers before your conscience tells you to. Let these special people know how you feel about themespecially when they don't expect it. Stay connected in the good times for it will help you through the tough ones that will surely come.
Don't hold back your enthusiasms or dim your passions for your beliefs, loves and interests. Commit yourself fully, knowing that life will at times be unfair- but will always even out in the end. Regrets are painful to live with. You'll have some- but you don't want too many.
Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living."
You are graduating at a special time. The world is undergoing a historic time of transformation and redefinition. These great moments in history come about twice in a century. Embrace this time to be alive and engage yourself in every part of it. Think of the opportunities you have to help shape the future of mankind. You will have the opportunity to do more good, for more people than any generation in the history of man. Don't squander it.
The longer you live, the more you will realize that the three indispensable requisites in life are faith, character and courage. Never lose them. Life is not worth much without them. The currency of life is trust- a product of character. The vitality of life is self-respecta product of courage. The essence of life is faith- a product of spirituality. Faith matters most. No matter the depth of despair or the difficulty of the dilemma- faith, character and courage will see you through.
We're proud of you. Congratulations. You're now Purple Eagles for life!"

What are the average starting salaries, bonuses, benefits and travel requirements like at Comerica Incorporated?
What do you like best about working at Comerica Incorporated? Are there any great perks or special treats for employees?

IMHO salaries at Comerica are solid. Some of my colleagues complain that you could earn more outside the bank, but I don't think they are weighing the value of the benefits. Taken as a whole, I feel well compensated here at Comerica, in addition to the wages there are a few retirement programs to participate in and generous subsidies on health benefits. They take care of their employees, far better than any of my former employers.

Operators are at the core of any programming language. Common examples of operators are + and –, AND, OR, || just to name a few. We will be updating this page with further examples as time goes on.
Ternary Operator
Today we are discussing the ternary conditional operator and how it is used in the Swift language. If you've never heard of a ternary operator, don't feel bad — it's a tiny part of Swift that's easy to overlook.
The ternary operator is used to shorten the classic if/else statement. In our example, we have a Boolean called shouldSave, and depending on if it is true or not, we call one of two methods saveNow() or cancelNow().
The if/else statement
if shouldSave { saveNow() }else{ cancelNow() }
You may be thinking, that code is pretty short, how could it get any simpler? Enter the ternary operator and one that may just top your list of future code snippets.
shouldSave ? saveNow() : cancelNow()
Ternary operators are useful in many cases but should be used with caution as they have the ability to confuse the readability of your code. Used properly they can be a quick way to handle simple situations where you would normally use the if/else statement.

Slick-fielding shortstop Elvis Andrus and the Rangers finalized a $14.4 million, three-year contract Wednesday. The deal covers his three years of salary arbitration eligibility, and Texas would like to discuss an even longer agreement with agent Scott Boras.
"We have made no bones about the fact that we would like to sign some of our core players to extensions that do extend into free agency," assistant general manager Thad Levine said. "Elvis is one of those types of guys. We hope he is a Texas Ranger for years to come."
Andrus gets a $750,000 signing bonus and salaries of $2,375,000 this year, $4.8 million in 2013 and $6,475,000 in 2014.
An arbitration hearing had been scheduled for Thursday. Andrus had asked for $3.6 million and was offered $2.65 million.
A key for him was financial security.
"It is something I was looking for, especially for my family ... at this point in my career, at this point in my life," Andrus said.
The 23-year-old hit a career-best .279 with 37 stolen bases last year, when he made $452,180. He was an All-Star in 2010.
"Elvis represents everything we want the Texas Rangers to be," Levine said. "He's a young upside player with a ton of energy, a ton of ability. He's been a huge part of our last two playoff runs. He fits in at the top of the order. He's the engine for our whole team, sets the table for the big boppers in the middle. He's been a huge part of the defense. We feel that just his energy and his enthusiasm really represents the personality of the club."
After twice coming within a strike of the World Series title in Game 6 last October, the Rangers finished with an empty feeling. There's work to do.
"I'm still learning every day ... especially the mental part of the game," Andrus said. "My best years are coming."

|Client ServletInputStream already closed, can't read in my Action
|Fri, 08 Feb 2002 23:42:39 GMT
I'm working on a proxy which has to be able to read GET/PUT/POST forms from a client, then send stuff back. It doesn't want or need Velocity for this function -- I'm reading from the client with data.getRequest() as an HttpServletRequest directly. I can read the meta-data and headers OK, but when I go to read the client input stream, it throws an exception saying: java.io.IOException: This input stream has been closed The code bombs in the clientIn.read(): public HTTPRequest( HttpServletRequest client ) throws MalformedURLException, IOException { method = client.getMethod().toUpperCase(); length = client.getContentLength(); clientIn = client.getInputStream(); if (length > 0) { log.debug("Read input length=" + length); int c; while ((c = clientIn.read()) != -1) { log.debug(" char=" + c); } } I've tried using getReader() instead of getInputStream() and it says: java.lang.IllegalStateException: getInputStream() has already been called for this request The only think I can think is that Turbine or Velocity have already opened the stream as a ServletInputStream() then closed it. Is there a way around this, to read the client stream for PUT and POST HTTP methods? What's opening then closing the InputStream? For this portion of the project I don't need Velocity at all, since I'm bypassing it. But my proxy is implemented as a VelocityAction. Is there some lighter Action I can use which doesn't close the input or generate output pages, leaving the client connections for me? I still need to use Turbine's authentication facilities to make sure only logged in folks use this, else I could go with bare servlets. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:email@example.com> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com>

I wanted to try my new Olympus XA2 and compare it with the Rollei Rolleimatic, a very similar compact camera (if not in design, similar in functions and specifications: fully automatic, 35mm lens for XA2 and 38mm lens for Rolleimatic) And in the same time I wanted to test the new Lomography XR redscale film (shot on 200 iso value) and compare it with a negative film. So I went in my garden and shot the same pictures with the 2 cameras.
Here are the results! :))

It's become an annual tradition. During March owners meetings the NFL announces the awarding of compensatory draft picks. The Redskins don't get any or get some leftover crumbs. Fans complain and say there is a conspiracy against their team.
But there really isn't an anti-Redskins bias on Park Avenue (well, in matters not involving the interpretation of "uncapped year", anyway). The way the Redskins do business keeps them from being awarded extra picks in the draft.
The exact formula for awarding the picks is a secret, something that doesn't help when Redskins fans, or fans of any other team left out in the process, cry foul. All we get in the way of explanation is this from the press release announcing the picks:
"Under the rules for compensatory draft selections, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks.
The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory free agents up to a maximum of four. . .
Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. The formula was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this formula."
The first paragraph is the key when we're talking about the Redskins. They are a team that signs a lot of free agents so in any given year and, historically, players who leave the Redskins aren't highly coveted by other teams. The number of free agents they sign is usually going to be greater than the number that they lose.
You get compensatory picks by letting players that other teams might value walk when their contracts expire and you replace them with either your own draft picks or with players who have been cut by other teams as they do not count in the formula. For example, last year the Ravens lost Dannell Ellerbe, Paul Kruger, Ed Reed, and Cary Williams. The only free agent they signed was Elvis Dumervil, who had been cut by the Broncos. So they ended up with comp picks in the third and fifth rounds and two in the fourth.
If you look at the teams that have received the most compensatory picks since the system started in 1994 (go here and scroll down to the third page), you see some of the most consistently successful franchises in the NFL. There have been 20 Super Bowls since the system started and 15 have been won by teams in the top 10 in terms of the most comp picks awarded. That's right, 75 percent.
Do the actual picks awarded help the teams to be successful? Or does conducting player personnel business in a manner that leads to getting awarded picks lead to success? Without doing extensive research, the answer is probably a little bit of both. Getting the extra picks makes it easier to build through the draft and that leads to getting more compensatory picks.
Back to the Redskins, they are 28th in compensatory picks received since the system was started. It's well known that they talk a lot about building through the draft but when it comes down to it they fill holes with free agents. Of the 22 projected starters for this coming season, nine were drafted by the Redskins.
Not getting compensatory picks does not necessarily doom a franchise to failure. The Saints have had fewer over the years than the Redskins and they won a Super Bowl not too long ago. And the Broncos are 30th in comp picks and they were just in the Super Bowl. Still, building through the draft and collecting a few comp picks along the way certainly is the most consistently way of building a winning team.

Case Conclusion Date: 02.10.2011
Practice Area: Workers compensation
Outcome: $143,750.00 lump sum settlement, plus payment of our costs
Description: Client strained his back and right knee at work. The employer and its pet doctors insisted he remain at work in a "light duty" job that had little purpose other than to add to his discomfort and make him feel humiliated, since he was doing nothing and made to feel he was just in the way. We helped him get the medical support to escape the daily "walk of shame" of light duty and to better evaluate his injuries. As happens in many cases, the company doctors were understating his injuries. We first got the client established on benefits under terms that did not require withholding of any attorney fee from his workers compensation checks. We then pushed to expand the description of injury, which we used as leverage to settle his claim for a large lump sum once the client was satisfied he had a proper plan for his future, to be sure he has access to the treatment he needs while moving on from his work injury.

On Fox, scant attention to Dems' questioning of Sotomayor
Research ››› ››› SARAH PAVLUS, LILY YAN & DIANNA PARKER
On July 15, Fox News covered two Republicans senators' "first round" questioning of Sonia Sotomayor for 55 minutes, but it covered only 30 minutes of the six Democratic senators' "first round" questions that the committee heard on July 15.
In its July 15 coverage of the Senate Judiciary Committee's "first round" of questioning of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, Fox News devoted 55 minutes to questioning by Republicans while devoting only 30 minutes to Democrats' questioning, despite the fact that Democratic senators who asked questions on the second day of the "first round" outnumbered Republicans six to two. By contrast, MSNBC and CNN devoted more time to the Democrats, but not in proportion to their greater numbers.
Media Matters for America reviewed coverage of the eight Senate Judiciary Committee members who each questioned Sotomayor for 30 minutes in their "first round" of questioning on July 15: Republican Sens. John Cornyn and Tom Coburn, and Democratic Sens. Ben Cardin, Sheldon Whitehouse, Amy Klobuchar, Edward Kaufman, Arlen Specter, and Al Franken.
Fox News covered 11 minutes each of Cardin's and Franken's questioning, eight minutes of Specter's, and none of the questioning by Whitehouse, Klobuchar, and Kaufman. By contrast, Fox covered the entire 30 minutes of Cornyn's questioning period and all but five minutes of Coburn's 30 minutes of questions.

Six Cool Things in Virginia Village, Washington-Virginia Vale and Southeast Denver
Burns Park brings minimalist art to busy Colorado Boulevard in southeast Denver.
Denver Public Art
For the second installment of Warm Cookies of the Revolution's Stompin' Ground Games, the organization dedicated to civic health will celebrate the neighborhoods of southeast Denver — Virginia Village, Washington-Virginia Vale, Cook Park, Hilltop and other nooks and crannies — with a participatory program of urban storytelling and oral history on November 14 at the area's oldest landmark, Four Mile Historic Park. Haven't spent much time in that part of town lately, except while driving through? You're not alone. But there are many reasons to love southeast Denver, and here are six of them:
Susan Froyd
1) Garland Park
6300 East Mississippi Avenue
Garland Park is everybody's park. It belongs to the stroller pushers, the dog walkers, the Russian ladies, the tennis aces and volleyball spikers, the Little Leaguers, the picnickers, the radio-controlled boat enthusiasts, the Sunday bicyclists, way too many geese and all the rest of the multigenerational and multicultural denizens of Washington-Virginia Vale. We've sung the praises of this all-purpose park near the banks of Cherry Creek before, and we're singing them again: With the placid duck pond Lollipop Lake as its centerpiece, Garland Park is a recreational oasis with no prejudices.
2) Les Delices des Paris
Leetsdale Center, 600 South Holly Street, #101
Southeast Denver might not be known for its classy eateries and chic boutiques — things are a little more down-to-earth along Leetsdale Drive — but it does have Les Delices, a little piece of Paris that holds its own in a nondescript strip mall at Leetsdale and Holly. The tiny pâtisserie, run by Christelle and Gerard Donat, is full of pastry, beginning with perfectly flaky, butter-laden croissants and ending with more inspired confections, from rich petit fours to full-blown cakes slathered with ganache or buttercream and layered with many secret and delicious, strictly-French ingredients.
Denver Public Library
3) Virginia Village Branch Library
1500 South Dahlia Street
The Virginia Village library got its start in a strip mall at Florida Avenue and Holly Street, where it operated as a sort of mini-library with limited services. Back in those days, its current location down the street at Florida and Dahlia was still home to one of the once-ubiquitous carnation-growing greenhouses of southeast Denver, a little reminder of the area's agricultural past. Once it became cheaper to ship fresh carnations in from South America, where the flowers grew outdoors and didn't require the expensive upkeep unique to greenhouses, the carnation-growers of Denver bailed. Now a busy, full-service library that draws families from the neighborhood, the VV branch operates in a building that evokes the past with a row of peaked roofs recalling the corner's agricultural roots. What goes around comes around.
Denver Public Art
4) Burns Park
250 South Colorado Boulevard
Spread out in a green triangle at the western foot of Hilltop along Colorado Boulevard and Alameda Avenue, Burns Park is an art park, dotted with minimalist sculptures, most of them survivors of a "temporary" show placed there in 1968 as part of the Denver Sculpture Symposium, and recently refurbished. Though questions still swirl as to what the city should do about the park, which seems to be caught in a vortex of rushing traffic and encroaching urban redevelopment, we're glad it's there, reminding us that life is more than ferrying yourself from one big box to another.
For Mile Historic Park
5) Four Mile Historic Park
715 South Forest Street
Built around the city's oldest structure, a stage stop constructed on the banks of Cherry Creek in 1859 by the Brantner brothers and a landmark for travelers on the Cherokee Trail, Four Mile Mile Historic Park is a back-in-time treasure where folks get a look at what life was like on the Colorado plains more than a century ago. Now a living-history museum where kids can do a rain dance in a tepee, bake in an earthen oven or take a ride on a horse-drawn wagon, it's a thriving educational reminder that there was a time when Target stores didn't exist. Stompin' Grounds boss Even Weissman loves it so much that he recommends attendees at Saturday's event go early and enjoy the park first.

The Denver Eye
6) Krisana Park: East of Dahlia Street to Fairfax Street/Filbert Way, between Florida and Louisiana avenues.
Lynwood: East of Holly Street to Jasmine Street, between Mexico and Jewell avenues.
Built by H.B. Wolff in the mid-'50s, these two Virginia Village enclaves on opposite sides of Holly Street are composed of sleek, Eichler-style contemporary knockoffs built low to the ground with open kitchens and California-style privacy features. From the start these homes, though relatively modest by modern standards, were obviously a cut above the rest of the neighborhood, design-wise, and they appealed to academics and free thinkers of the time. Some of them have since undergone careful renovations aimed at preserving the mid-century style, thanks to proud owners who value their place in architectural history.
Learn more about the 'hood and its musicians, artists, activists and storytellers at the Stompin' Ground Games from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, November 14, at Four Mile Historic Park. Admission is free, but a $5 donation is suggested (or bring scannable personal memorabilia of the surrounding neighborhoods for Historic Denver to scan into their collection and get in for free). Of course, warm cookies will be served. Visit Warm Cookies of the Revolution online for information.

Something is different about this place. It's immediately noticeable as you pull into a parking spot under the solar-array-covered canopy protecting six electric vehicle-charging stations from another rainy day in Oregon. The Café Yumm! location in Eugene is a restaurant anomaly, differentiated by everything from its part sun-powered electrical system to organic foods, with walls that tell a story.

As we move into the thick of New Year's resolutions and our diners are planning their next summer vacation, it seems the increase in 'healthy segment menus' are all the rage this year, but is a menu segment enough or should restaurants also employ physical marketing components such as stickers or menu symbols?

About a year ago the U.S. Interior Department Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Larry Echo Hawk, processed a reservation application for the Cowlitz tribe north of Portland in southern Washington which was federally recognized in 2002. The BIA also ruled their new reservation could be used for gaming.
The National Restaurant Association each year surveys professional chefs, members of the American Culinary Federation, on which foods, beverages, cuisines and culinary themes will be hot trends on restaurant menus. The What's Hot in 2012 survey was conducted in the fall of 2011 among nearly 1,800 chefs.
What will the New Year bring? Many industry experts say more of the same and with good reason: the economy is still slowly growing, recent research shows that most consumers are not planning to make any changes in their use of foodservice (and those who do are far more likely to say they are anticipating further cutbacks).
The first scheduled "annual" session for the Oregon Legislature is upon us this February, and the sense of calm that was noticeable during the last session is changing like the seasons. Some of the public employee unions and a few select House Democrat legislators are making noise about how they want to be more aggressive against the banking industry and higher income earners.

Hours of marking: Anytime between 6.00am and midnight
Q. What happens if my briefing session or marking is on during school time?
BOSTES will pay for the cost of relief to replace teachers who are required to attend weekday briefing sessions and/or weekday marking sessions during the marking period.
By approving applications for marking, Principals agree that teachers are released on full salary when required.
Q. Can the school get paid relief if I'm on LSL during marking?
If the marker is on long service leave during that period, the school cannot claim for relief from BOSTES.

Eating out with Freddie
The Cricketers, Shroton, Nr Blandford DT11 8QD 01258 860421
Published in November '08
Many moons ago, the Cricketers was just about our favourite food pub in Dorset. Then the long-time landlord left and for various reasons we did not find ourselves in that part of the county so often. Now it has changed hands again and, after such a long time, we were especially curious to see if we would like it as much as we used to. Happily, we did.
The new landlords are Natasha and Andrew Edwards, who took over a little more than a year ago after spending seven years in South Africa and, before that, running a restaurant in Surrey. They have had the sense not to change the atmosphere of the place, but have refurbished it considerably and added some comfortable sofas. As a cricket nut, I was sad to see that the amount of cricketana on the walls has been reduced; Natasha is South African, but I was assured that it had nothing to do with the whitewash of South Africa in this summer's one-day series. At least what survives includes a portrait of 'the Master', Jack Hobbs, who gazed benevolently down on us as we ate.
The atmosphere of the Cricketers is and always has been a clever combination of a lively local with a 'destination pub' whose quality and range of cuisine is several cuts above standard pub grub. It is still primarily a pub, so don't expect deep carpets, tablecloths or linen napkins; do expect a cheerful buzz and a relaxed friendliness which we prefer to the hushed formality of a threequarters-empty would-be 'fine dining' restaurant.
The main menu of seven starters and nine main courses is something of a mixture. Here the less adventurous will find scampi and sausage and mash, but there are plenty of less conventional and more interesting alternatives. My starter, for example, was a field mushroom filled with chorizo and basil with melted goat's cheese on top. The strong taste of the cheese complemented the robust consistency of the mushroom, although between them they rather drowned out the chorizo – itself hardly a weakling among flavours. Mrs Freddie liked her chicken liver pâté with fig jam for its smooth consistency and for the hint of brandy. She pointed out that the accompanying salad included peppers, onions, tomatoes and cucumber, all very finely diced: one of several indications that the chef, Andy, really cares about presentation and is prepared to take a lot of trouble over it.
There is also the option of platters to share, based on tapas, cheese or fish, which are apparently very popular. And I was tempted by the 'Fajita Sizzlers' which are chicken, beef or vegetables with guacamole, salsa and a range of other accompaniments, in a tortilla wrap.
We had a bit of a drama over Mrs Freddie's main course. She had chosen lobster, but when the charming young man who waited on us invited her to choose her lobster while it was still alive, she had a noisy fit of the vapours. Despite all her eating-out experience, it was an invitation she had never received before and, illogically or not, she was horrified at the thought of being formally introduced to the living creature that would end up on her plate. She quickly switched to a monkfish risotto with parmesan shavings which was much less controversial: she identified a white wine and fish stock reduction as the key element in the success of the dish.
The monkfish was one of five fish and two meat dishes on the daily specials board, from which I chose a scallop and king prawn stir fry with a sweet chilli glaze. This was very enjoyable, with a host of strong and spicy flavours underlying the sweet chilli. The noodles were prepared to just the right consistency to contrast with the al dente French beans.
For her pudding Mrs Freddie asked for a modest helping of hot banana pancakes with ice cream and reported that the thinness of the crêpe and the sweetness of the sauce were the things she liked most about it. I had chosen a baked Alaska, which came on a chocolate sponge base instead of plain, an unusual combination which gave more variety of appearance and flavour.
The wine list is perhaps not the most thrilling, with no great surprises but some very acceptable choices, eight each of red and white. We chose a 2007 Chenin Blanc from Franschhoek in deference to Natasha's country of origin and in memory of sitting at La Petite Ferme restaurant with a wonderful view over Franschhoek and the temperature well into the eighties, and being told that it had just begun to snow back home.
Three courses at the Cricketers without drinks will probably cost you a tad over £20 a head. We won't be leaving it so long this time before going there again.
