- How to Read a Study Record
In this study, the investigators want to pre-operatively scan patients who do not have any clinically suspicion of metastases with an 18F-FDG-PET/CT whole body scan , where after they go to lymphoscintigraphy incl. SPECT/CT and sentinel node biopsy. Material from the oral cancer and, after permission of each patient, also normal oral tissue will be analyzed molecular-biologically. Also a blood sample will be analyzed for molecular tumor markers.
The investigators want to see if PET/CT is able to detect any signs of sub-clinically metastases. Besides, the investigators want to fusion PET/CT with SPECT/CT data from the lymphoscintigraphy study and improve our PET/CT scanning with a dual-time PET scan of the head-and-neck region.

These patients are normally preoperatively sent to a CT scan of the thorax and abdomen; in this study, this CT is replaced by a wholebody PET/CT scan. Afterwards, the patients goes to sentinel node lymphoscintigraphy and then to operation.
By combining biomarkers and molecular imaging in patients with a clinically T1/T2N0M0 oral cancer, we want to characterize the tumor physiologically and correlate these physiological features to the clinical appearance of the cancer.
Aims of the study:
- can PET/CT in this patient group metastases with consequently change of treatment?
- can fusion of SPECT/CT and PET/CT with calculation of standardized uptake value (SUV) indicate, how much tumor tissue there should be in a positive sentinel node to be detected by PET?
- can dual-time PET scanning better determine lymph node metastases, than single-time PET scanning?
- correlation between SUV in PET with molecular-biological findings both in the primary tumor and in metastases

The location of this project is next to the main Belgrade loop on the highway that connects Belgrade and Zagreb on the parcel where used to be old beer factory. The theme of this project is to create audio and visual platform that is going to be a new cultural centre of city of Belgrade. Learning from the context and his vary dynamic character, also formal character of Mostar highway loop, program and theme, three groups of informations are created and they were the basic inputs for creating the formal appearance of the project. Taking the geometry of the location for shape, taking loop for the communication and the dynamic moving of the highway for atmosphere, through the series of 3d studies, space that is created reflects the context that is put in, but also has to present atmospheric identity for it self and for the program that serves.
Moving is than whit the ramps, in a way entire project is a ramp trapped in a shape of circle and that ramp continually flow through space creating spaces that are deferent, not by the use, but more because of the deferent spatial experience that ramp is creating in that moment on her way up.
Variation of spaces trough the infinit loop give a project a multiple character by the meaning of program, function and use.

Ribbon Barrettes were *so* cool to wear when I was in middle school grades. Oh gosh, did I love them. I think I had pairs of them to match every single outfit I owned. Probably more. We shared, we traded, we gifted them. They were such a fun thing and I'm kind of (dorky but true) excited that they are coming back "in" for kids. The folks from My Friendship Bracelet Maker sent us one of their Ribbon Barrette Makers, and Busy B and I have been having so much fun creating barrettes in colors to match her mood, her clothes, for her friends…its so much fun for both of us and a great project to do together!! I love it!
The 80's are back. We can only hope that peg-legging your jeans doesn't come back with them. That would be wrong. But the ribbon barrettes? Cool. Fun. Creative.
Created with the 6+ crowd in mind, the Ribbon Barrette Maker offers a simple way to make the barrettes which really helps kids to get the hang of making these- sans frustration. My only issue with it (and its really not an issue at all) is that when you try to put the beads onto the ribbon ends, the ribbon only goes through one bead before splitting- so you end up trimming it several times (which isn't a length issue as the precut ribbons included are generous in length, but the beads are impossible for my 6 year old to string herself and she gets frustrated).
My Ribbon Barrette Maker from Media Café Online, LLC on Vimeo.
All in all this is a great toy that lets kids be creative and fun and even make things for their friends without breaking the bank! Plus, they are so cute when in their hair!
One of my readers will win a Ribbon Barrette Maker!
I received a sample of this product to facilitate my review. Opinions are my own.0

Rays revisit school days with new jackets
ARLINGTON -- The Rays will wear letterman jackets on the charter from Texas to Boston after Wednesday afternoon's game against the Rangers, their first themed dress road trip of 2013 and the 23rd such trip since Joe Maddon introduced them to the team in 2008.
The jackets feature the Rays' yellow sunburst over the left breast.
Equipment manager Chris Westmoreland was asked if everybody had earned their letter.
"I think everybody's earned it at this point, but it can be taken away," he said.
Turned out, the timing for breaking out the jackets is impeccable. According to the weather forecast, Boston temperatures will range from 38 to 63 degrees during the Rays' four-game series that runs from Friday through Monday.

Stonewall Democrats of Dallas endorsed former police chief David Kunkle for mayor and openly gay candidate James Nowlin for the District 14 City Council seat on Saturday.
Kunkle and Nowlin were among 12 who received the LGBT group's backing after 57 members interviewed 23 candidates in May 14 municipal elections, during a seven-hour session at Resource Center Dallas.
Stonewall's endorsement of Kunkle came after Ron Natinsky pulled out of the candidate screening when he learned he would not be eligible for the group's backing because he's a Republican. Despite his party affiliation, Natinsky has received endorsements in the mayor's race from some prominent gay Democrats, including openly gay former City Councilman Ed Oakley. Municipal elections are nonpartisan.
The other two candidates for mayor, Mike Rawlings and Edward Okpa, also sought Stonewall's endorsement.
In heavily gay District 14, Nowlin beat out incumbent Angela Hunt for the group's backing, despite the fact that Hunt has been an LGBT ally on the council.
Stonewall also endorsed Delia Jasso for District 1, Pauline Medrano for District 2, Scott Griggs for District 3, Monica Alonzo for District 6, Cassie Pierce for District 7, Cynthia Durbin for District 10 and William Tsao for District 12.
The group opted not to endorse Dallas Mayor Dwaine Caraway, who's seeking re-election to his District 4 council seat. Caraway is currently finishing out the term of former Mayor Tom Leppert, who stepped down to run for U.S. Senate. Stonewall also opted not to endorse Sheffie Kadane in District 9. Both Caraway and Kadane sought the group's endorsement and attended Saturday's screening.
A full press release after the jump.
Kunkle, Nowlin receive Stonewall endorsements
After seven hours and 23 interviews, 57 Stonewall Democrats of Dallas members selected to endorse in 12 races for the May 14 municipal election.
Former Dallas Police Chief David Kunkle won the endorsement for Dallas Mayor, which was ratified along with other races by the membership immediately after the endorsement screening ended at 4:45 p.m.
Also winning endorsements for Dallas City Council were Delia Jasso for District 1, Pauline Medrano for District 2, Scott Griggs for District 3, Monica Alonzo for District 6, Cassie Pierce for District 7, Cynthia Durbin for District 10, William Tsao for District 12 and James Nowlin for District 14.
The lone Dallas Independent School District candidate that sought the organization's endorsement, Mike Morath, was endorsed for District 2.
Candidates for Dallas County School Board Trustees Anthony Pace for District 1 and James Hubener for District 4 were also endorsed.
Stonewall decided not to endorse interim mayor and District 4 City Councilmember Dwaine Caraway and City Councilman Sheffie Kadane for District 9. They were the only ones who screened in their respective races.
"We had a lively discussion and great participation," said Jesse Garcia, SDD communications director. "Conversation and debate remained civil. We had great candidates seek our support and we're proud that the process was fair and transparent."
Stonewall Democrats of Dallas will work hard to promote endorsed candidates over the next eight weeks before Election Day Saturday, May 14.
The deadline to register to vote in time for the May 14 election is Thursday, April 14. Your registration card needs to be postmarked by April 14 or dropped off at the Dallas County Elections Department, located at 2377 N. Stemmons Freeway, Suite 820, in Dallas. Early voting takes place May 2-10.
Stonewall Democrats of Dallas will register voters Saturday, March 26, from 2 to 6 p.m., in front of Hunky's, located at 3940 Cedar Springs Rd., in Dallas.
"The LGBT community needs to turn out to make sure our voice is heard," said Garcia. "Only one in eight Dallas voters takes part in city elections. Heavy turnout in our neighborhoods will make a greater difference this time around."
Candidates who were endorsed will be invited to speak at the next general meeting of the Stonewall Democrats of Dallas, 6 p.m., Tuesday, April 19, at Ojeda's Restaurant, located at 4617 Maple Ave. in Dallas. Meeting is open to the public. For more information, visit www.stonewalldemocratsofdallas.org.

And it looks like he was arrested 3 days ago.Colts sign center Samson Satele
Updated: Wednesday, 21 Mar 2012, 12:25 PM EDT
Published : Wednesday, 21 Mar 2012, 12:25 PM EDT
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A new offensive lineman is joining the Indianapolis Colts, the team announced Wednesday.
Colts officials signed free agent center Samson Satele, who has been in the NFL for five seasons.
He most recently played for the Oakland Raiders, but started his NFL career with the Miami Dolphins. He was a four-year letterwinner and team captain at the University of Hawaii.
He has all the necessary traits to be one of the top centers in the NFL, Colts General Manager Ryan Grigson said in a news release.
Satele said he was looking forward to a fresh start with a new team.

Former Oakland Raiders center Samson H. Satele was arrested in his home state of Hawaii early Saturday on disorderly conduct charges, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported.
Satele, who is seeking a new team in free agency, was released on $500 bail at 4:50am local time Saturday, less than an hour after being arrested at a shopping complex in the Aiea district of Honolulu, which houses late-night bars and restaurants.
The 27-year-old was set to appear in Honolulu's Ewa District Court on April 18 on account of the petty misdemeanor.
Satele started 15 games for the Raiders last season before becoming a free agent in the off-season.
It was his third year with the team after being traded from the Miami Dolphins, who had drafted him out of the University of Hawaii in 2007.

The big-box construction track at SPECS/2007 covered such topical issues as the impact of today's global economy on the construction industry and suggestions on how best to deal with increasingly restrictive sign ordinances. In the "Don't SWPPP This Away!" workshop, the risks and costs of non-compliance were discussed. The session included permitting case studies of non-compliance and strategies for dealing with regulators.
The sessions included ample opportunities for audience interaction. In the "Comparison of Construction Contracting" workshop, attendees were given an overview of the various types of construction contracting methods and provided with an analysis of risk/reward for each type. They participated in roundtable discussions to analyze specific scenarios.
In the session, "Pardon the Interruption" workshop, a retailer and a contractor debated nine hot-button topics, including bidding, regular bidding vs. reverse auctions, and change orders.
Cement: The "CSI: Concrete" workshop provided an in-depth look at concrete-and moisture-related issues. Industry expert Howard Kanare, senior principal scientist, CTL Group, Skokie, Ill., presented common problems and proven techniques for preventing and/or fixing concrete moisture complaints.
The workshop examined the different modes that concrete-floor moisture failures may take, from curling, flooring expansion and staining to condensation, debonding and adhesive breakdown. The speaker outlined several key concepts for attendees to keep in mind, starting with the idea that the floor is part of the building envelope. Leaks are not acceptable.
"Design and build to avoid moisture-vapor intrusion from below and around the floor," Kanare said.
Attendees were also urged to remember that the floor is a system and, as such, compatibility of components is key.
"Design for resistance to moisture vapors," Kanare said, "and always consider contingencies, such as warping, flatness and moisture."
Kanare also discussed vapor retarders. He made the point that every floor slab-on-ground should have a vapor retarder directly under the slab, properly detailed, and protected from damage during construction of the floor.
Drying is critical to avoiding moisture problems at a later date. Kanare recommended the use of a concrete mix that will dry quicker (look for such features as moderate water-cement ratio, 0.45 to 0.50; low-absorption aggregate; maximize coarse aggregate size and volume; moderate cementitious factor and water-reducing admixtures). He said the drying process should be measured and monitored and that active drying means should be provided.
"Avoid air stagnation, which slows drying," Kanare explained. "Circulate the air. "And be aware of daily weather cycles."
It is important to measure moisture, Kanare said, for a number of reasons. These include meeting the flooring manufacturer's requirements, minimizing potential indoor air-quality problems, minimizing moisture-induced failures, meeting warranty requirements and minimizing liability.
The session also examined the various approaches to remediation. Understanding the root cause of the problem is essential, according to Kanare, who added some recommendations.
How would you describe SPECS?
"If it's external moisture, cut off the supply. If there is no external moisture source, dry the floor," he said.
Signage: In "Size Matters: Signs of the Times," Peter Hauser, president, Site Enhancement Services, South Bend, Ind., shared strategies for maximizing exterior-signage visibility and ways to deal with restrictive sign ordinances. The speaker noted that municipalities restrict signage based on aesthetics as well as safety.
Typically, signing is regulated by the zoning ordinance contained in the city plan.
"New signs must meet the sign standards [of the municipality] or go through a variance process," Hauser said. "If the applicant is denied, he can often appeal to the city council."
However, some municipalities create design review boards that review all signage regardless of size or design. These boards can enforce requirements on the business owner whether or not the sign is code-compliant, according to Hauser.
The speaker emphasized the importance of developing an effective permit strategy.
"Permit the signs early," he said. "Design your sign standards to maximize code allotments."
The speaker urged the audience to research the city code before choosing a site to determine if the code is restrictive or lenient.
"Survey the area to see if a variance is possible," he added. "For instance, do other businesses have non-conforming signs?"
To deal with restrictive sign codes, Hauser recommended creating a flexible sign program, with signs that can be built at different heights and in different sizes.
"Choose a sign that is a reasonable variable," he said, "and have an option two if your variance fails. For instance, a smaller sign that still provides adequate identification, or a secondary logo in case the primary one causes problems."

I joined this forum to learn as much about the Dhamma as possible. I have always been attracted to Theravada more so then Mahayana. Though most of what I have already learned, and what I firmly believe in, comes from the Wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh, I can't but help love the Pali Canon, and the original Buddhism.
Personally I can't accept the normal concept of Rebirth, and I hope everyone will be okay with that here. I love Abhidhamma, Buddhist Psychology, but Rebirth doesn't make sense to me, and it never will. I see no true effect of it in my life, because I have come to the conclusion that everything that makes me, me, is the result of my environment (Society, Culture, Family, Friends, Etc), Genetics/Biology (Inborn diseases such as Down Syndrome, or even Psociopathy, etc), Thoughts (Everything you think affects your mind, and the person you are), Speech (Same as thoughts, but words affect your environment as well), and Actions (Same as Speech). Even the only evidence of Rebirth, past lives, is explainable, because from looking at most of those accounts, the individual will typically remember past lives from their own cultural background most of the time, most likely due to its being easier to process in the sensitive mind of the individual, then say for a european to remember the life of an ancient day Samurai. I personally believe that all minds are connected, One, as with everything else, sort of like a World Conciousness. So, when the Buddha had spoken about his own past lives, I believe he had either connected to that World Conciousness, or simply felt that because everything is One, that really, he was those people, he was everyone, past, present, and future. Did you know that I was a Great Prince, with many, many beautiful wives, and had unconditional love of my people because of my absolute epicness?
Why do I say all of that? Because like I had said earlier, Theravada is much more appealing to me on a psychological, traditional, and practical level, then Mahayana, but there are just some things I won't accept, and I hope that I can still be welcome here to learn as much as possible of the Dhamma, of the Pali Canon, the oldest accounts and teachings of the Buddha. And not to attack anyones belief in Rebirth, to each their own.

Arlington, Va. -- The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) issued the following statement in response to an announcement that the U.S. Maritime Alliance and the International Longshoremen's Association have agreed to a 90-day extension of the collective bargaining agreement due to expire on Sept. 30.
"The 90-day extension is welcomed news for retailers because it ensures that a work stoppage at the ports will not interfere with the flow of goods during the critical holiday season," said Kelly Kolb, VP for government affairs. "Ports play a critical role in the supply chain and a potential disruption would be harmful to the retail industry as it would lead to lost sales and aggravated customers."
RILA will continue to closely monitor the progress of negotiations and strongly urge the parties to reach a long-term agreement as soon as possible in order to remove the threat of a devastating work stoppage at the East and Gulf Coast ports.

I left a remark insufficiently explained last post: "Your consciousness begins your physical life far less local to your body." This is much more literally true than most people understand.
With Erickson it was a matter of observation — for example, he saw babies reaching out to touch their right hand with their right hand. You are not born knowing where "me" is, and you are not born physically coinciding with it. Your body begins as a marker — partly a cultural marker.But the modern perinatalist observations have confirmed this far more strongly. Grof has a lot, and another great resource is hypnotherapist David Chamberlain. See for example his paper in Leskowitz, ed. Transpersonal Hypnotherapy (2010). Here you find hypnotised clients seeing the moment of their birth and finding that they had great awareness of the surroundings, an awareness not completely local to the body. They describe "knowing I have to put myself in that baby body". There can also be memories of full-blown OBE as a baby.
The mind at that stage seems very intelligent, as Erickson would predict of what will become the unconscious mind. One patient, Deborah, says for example: "I felt I knew a lot — I really did. I thought I was pretty intelligent. I never thought about being a person, just a mind… I saw all these people acting crazy [about her delivery as a baby]. That's when I thought I had a more intelligent mind, because I knew what the situation was with me, and they didn't seem to. They seemed to ignore me. They were doing things to me, to the outside of me. But they acted like that's all there was."
"Not a person, just a mind" — exactly what we mean by not being hooked in to the cultural and physical body. This mind knows a context culture does not. Hence the perceptiveness and objectivity. The baby is mind-aware but the adults are only personality-aware. Adults have gone through that twofold process of identifying with the body, then with the culture. The tiny infant has not. "They seemed to ignore me", meaning, my real self, but also their real selves — this being equivalent as we've seen to being caught in a mask or "estrangement" from the underlying.
This underlying self really is a lot "smarter" which is why, if you can have a relationship with it and activate it, you become a much richer version of yourself.
Inner selves shouting for attention are related of course to younger subpersonalities and hence to parts of the mind shut out by the social realm. Clearing the walls that shut out those selves clears the tension and the blocks to those awarenesses, and that becomes a live relationship with the nonphysical. You interact with other forms of input. "Extra sensory perception" is a cliché, like all parapsychological terms once the public gets hold of them, but all it means is perception on the part of that aspect of you which is not directly hooked into the body. That turns out to be a lot.
The irony is that the hooking-in tends to leave a lot of energetic blockages, so a new and clearer relationship with the body is actually far better for the body itself as well. Normal egotistical relations with the body aren't helpful to its health at all.
This goes all the way up to enlightenment which can create what some have called a "duplex personality"… more on that in the upcoming series.

A French study released at the end of September claimed there are cancer concerns from eating genetically modified (GM) corn and the use of glyphosate herbicide in conjunction with the corn, but scientists around the world have called the design of the rat feeding study and the reported results a mockery of science.
Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen, the study's principal lead and results author, a molecular biologist and endocrinologist, has an open anti-GM agenda of trying to claim their are dangerous effects from GM crops/foods. Nearly every true scientist without an anti-GM agenda and the European Union's regulatory agencies have refuted Seralini's previous claims and this latest one, too.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) issued a statement saying it "does not see a need to re-examine its previous safety evaluation of maize (Monsanto's) NK603 nor to consider these findings in the ongoing assessment of glyphosate."
Several scientists didn't mince words about the study and the lead researcher. One of those outspoken critics is Bruce Chassy, Ph.D., professor emeritus, University of Illinois Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition. "Let's get to the core of the matter, the senior author of the study (Sealini) is a very prominent anti-GM crusader in Europe. He is funded by people who are anti-GM. He is the president of the board of scientific directors of an anti-GM NGO, which he hosts at his university laboratory, which I find odd. And he has a long history of papers that get discredited as bad science that attack GM. He has written and said he is opposed to GM. So, you have both bias and conflict of interest," said Chassy during a segment of AgriTalk radio.
The rat feeding study results claimed a high number of rats died from tumors after being fed NK603 corn, which is resistant to glyphosate herbicide. Scientists noted the control group and total number of rats tested, and the number of those who developed tumors and died while eating the GM corn was completely unscientific. The researchers used the Sprague-Dawley line of rats that is bred to be highly susceptible to the development of tumors. That particular strain has a more than 80 percent chance of growing tumors within two years under non-experimental conditions, noted many scientists including members of the American Society of Animal Science.
"What's wrong with this study? I can't even count the ways," said Alison Van Eenennaam, Ph.D., a Cooperative Extension specialist at the University of California-Davis, who was quoted by Dan Murphy, a contributing columnist for Vance Publishing. "The authors refused to share their data with other scientists, they didn't perform a statistical analysis of the data and the strain of rats they used is known to spontaneously develop tumors.
Van Eenennaam concluded by saying, "To suggest that the tumors were the result of Roundup, the GMOs or an interaction between the two is ludicrous. It's Fantasyland stuff."
Monsanto issued its own disclaimer of the results, which didn't receive as much attention as independent scientists. The basics to the Monsanto reply are the same as all the independent scientists. Monsanto provided eight bullet points of errors in the design and results announced by the French study team.
Even with the huge outcry by scientists in Europe and the U.S. that the study results are "garbage," as one scientist was quoted as saying, anti-GM groups throughout the world are spreading the bogus results as proof that we should be afraid of all GM crops.
Groups in California are using the French study to support why any food should be identified as possibly having GM crop ingredients. The California Proposition 37 proponents and anti-GM groups have shown they are grasping at anything to prove GM crops are dangerous. But those involved in the biotech-GM industry note there has never been real proof about health concern with any registered GM crop.

After an intense election season Democrats in Colorado are turning the wheels and their focus toward immigration reform.
In a moving event Friday morning Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Udall officially petitioned Congress to push for immigration reform and to pass the DREAM Act.
"I am here today doing my call to Congress to pass the DREAM Act and fair humane comprehensive immigration reform," Udall said to students at Escuela Tlatelolco. "Not only is it the right thing to do but passing immigration reform and the DREAM Act will expand opportunities for all of us and improve our country's economy."
Udall was accompanied by fellow Democrats at the school in Denver, including Colorado Representative Crisanta Duran and President of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Guillermo "Bill" Vidal.
"Earlier this year Obama took a bold but long overdue step in helping millions of DREAMers with his deferred action directive, he reminded us of the work we need to do to finish the job," Udall said.
For Udall immigration reform is the second most important issue Congress must address, only behindmaking government fiscally sound, he said. In order to come up with a quick and comprehensive solution for immigration, Udall indicated that he and his allies will be reaching out to Republicans. Presenting the economic benefit of immigration reform may be one way to do it.
"It is well documented that the future of our economy will depend on the labor force that immigration provides us," Vidal said.
With Congress still divided and a Republican majority in the House of Representatives, the original proposal of the DREAM Act will likely be revisited, Udall said. There might be some changes to the original proposal but providing a legal path to young undocumented immigrants will remain the legislation's main goal, he said.
Change at the state level may come sooner. After the Tuesday elections, Democrats gained control of the Colorado State House and maintained control of the Senate. Democrats went from slim minority in the House to a comfortable 37-28 majority.
Rep. Crisanta Duran will be championing the ASSET bill in the legislature, which will offer a lower tuition for undocumented immigrants to attend college if they meet certain requirements.
"We cannot wait any longer for the future of our students in this country," Duran said. "This bill is a road to economic opportunity and economic recovery, because when you give people a fair shot in life and access to college there is nothing that can stop them."
Colorado Republicans have expressed interest in addressing immigration policy. Chairman of Colorado Republican Party Ryan Call told The Denver Post last week that he believed Latinos cared about jobs and the economy but Republicans "need to address other concerns of this community and create clear plans on issues like immigration and, for example, lower tuition rates for undocumented students as well."
Addressing these issues has become critical for both parties as the Latino vote showed its force during the 2012 election. President Barack Obama received the majority of the Hispanic vote including in key states like Colorado where he carried 75 percent of Latino vote. Republican Mitt Romney received the lowest Hispanic support in 16 years.
After giving his remarks Vidal shared his own immigration story and how it relates with many of the DREAMers' stories.
"I am like one of the DREAMers," he said. "My parents did the unthinkable actually out of their sense of desperation and sent my brothers and I unaccompanied to the United States where we grew up in an orphanage and they did this when I was 10 years old."
Vidal was reunited with his parents four years later.
The event wrapped on a more emotional note as Ana Calderon, a young undocumented immigrant, told her story of how she came to the U.S. when she was only 3 years old.
"We got plenty of scholarships," said Calderon describing the time after her sister and her graduated high school. "I finally knew I was going to go to the university because of all the scholarships. When it came time to go to the university they had to take my scholarships away because I was undocumented - all that hard work."

Genisys Credit Union recently sponsored the College Ice Carving Competition, which took place at the 31st annual Plymouth Ice Festival held in Kellogg Park.
The ice festival partnered with many local colleges and universities this year, including Henry Ford Community College, Washtenaw Community College, Oakland Community College, Artists Institute of Michigan, University of Michigan and Macomb Community College.
"The student competition is a wonderful tradition that students always look forward to," said Plymouth Ice Festival Manager Martin Pawlusiak.
"So many professional carvers got their start at the Plymouth Ice Festival over the years -- including three world champion carvers. It provides a great opportunity for students to develop and learn the art and skill of ice carving."
All sculptures were judged by professional judges. Paul Nuznov of Henry Ford College took first place in the individual carving competition and team Richards/Wood of Oakland Community College took first place in the team competition. Those individuals will advance to the regional carving competition.
"None of this could have been possible without the loyal support and participation of sponsors like Genisys Credit Union," said Pawlusiak.
Genisys Credit Union made it possible for guests for the first time to vote for their favorite sculptures using their mobile phones
"The college carving competition is a great way to bring local colleges and universities together," said President/CEO Jackie Buchanan. "Genisys Credit Union is proud to be a part of something that has been around for more than 30 years."��

Spazy Croonerisms 2Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
A spoonerism is a pair of words that can have their initial sounds switched to form new words. The pairs need only sound the same, not necessarily be spelled the same (power saw & sour paw, horse cart & coarse heart). There may sometimes be one or two connecting words (kick the stone & stick the cone, king of the rats & ring of the cats). Given the following definitions, what are the spoonerisms?
1) canine fur & porcine challenge
2) rock toss & to pack up royal furniture
3) arsonist's desire & to battle a fibber
4) underground amphibian & bar rules

Fishing and hunting is on the agenda for many Lake County residents this weekend. The wild turkey season and pheasant season both open Saturday and the bass and catfish action at Clear Lake should be excellent if the weather cooperates.
Turkey hunters open their fall season Saturday and bagging a bird should be no problem as there are turkeys everywhere. In fact, the Mendocino National Forest is loaded with them. The season runs until Dec. 9 and the limit is one bird of either sex per day and a total of two for the entire season. You can hunt turkeys with a shotgun, bow and arrow or even a pellet gun that is .177-caliber or larger. A number of people hunt turkeys with a pellet gun because they can legally shoot nearer to buildings than when using a shotgun.
For those lucky enough to bag a turkey, cleaning it is easy. It can either be plucked or breasted out. For those who prefer to pluck a turkey, it's best to heat a bucket full of water. Cut off the head, wings and tail of the turkey and dip the carcass into the hot water. Completely submerge the bird and hold it in the water for about three minutes. Then just grab a handful of feathers and give a sharp jerk. The feathers will fall out.
If you want to breast the bird, first pluck out the breast feathers and then take a sharp knife and fillet out each side of the breast. Cut off the legs and discard the rest of the bird. Cook the bird much as you would a domesticated bird. Wild turkeys taste much the same as the ones you buy in the supermarket, but they are a little dry. You can solve this problem by draping a couple of strips of beacon over the breasts or rubbing butter or cooking oil on the bird.
Pheasant hunters also open their season Saturday and just about all the action will take place in the Sacramento Valley. There is a chance a few of the pheasants used in last weekend's junior pheasant hunt at Highland Springs have survived the week and are still available. The junior hunt drew 14 hunters and 40 pheasants were released and 15 bagged. That means 25 birds are still in the woods. You need a permit from the county to hunt the area. The permit is free and can be obtained at the courthouse.
On the bass fishing scene at Clear Lake, the action has been nothing short of phenomenal for those using jumbo minnows. Bob Myskey guided three fishermen on Monday and they caught 25 bass and 16 catfish in just five hours. Myskey said all the fish were caught in the north end of the lake using jumbo minnows. Guide Ross England guided two days this week and his clients caught 50 bass on the first day and 40 on the second. The bass were caught on jumbo minnows. Gary Hill of Kelseyville caught an 11-pound bass on a minnow while fishing from a dock at Henderson Point.
Bass can still be seen chasing bait fish at Library Park in Lakeport and at Lakeside County Park. Fishermen have been scoring on bass and catfish at both locations.
It's amazing how much Clear Lake changes on a daily basis. A few weeks ago the silverside minnows were everywhere and now they are mostly gone. In their place are thousands of small bass and even threadfin shad are starting to show up. On Monday I saw several schools of shad at the docks at Library Park. They were only about two inches long but were definitely shad. Several fishermen also report seeing schools of shad in Soda Bay and at other locations around the lake.
Trout action at Upper Blue Lake has been very good and both trollers and bank fishermen are getting easy limits. A few trout are still being caught at the East Branch of the Russian River. Fishermen are being warned that the stream will be closed starting Nov. 15.

President Signs Appropriations Bill with Riders Harmful to Public Lands & Wildlife
(11/14/1997) - Washington, D.C. -- Defenders of Wildlife expressed disillusionment that President Clinton today signed Interior appropriations legislation containing riders harmful to public lands and wildlife. During the past Congress, similar destructive riders were attached to the Interior appropriations bill and were ultimately deleted after the President's opposition and veto.
Defenders of Wildlife President Rodger Schlickeisen said that, "We are disappointed that the President has not shown his past leadership in vetoing this bill, which is loaded with anti-environmental riders. In the FY 1998 Interior appropriations bill, Congress set terrible precedents for weakening protection for public lands and endangered species. By not opposing them with his veto pen, the President will give them encouragement to seek even worse next year."
A coalition of conservationists had urged President Clinton to veto the bill as he had in the past Congress, pointing to a number of controversial riders that would jeopardize the national forests, parks, and other public lands and wildlife covered by appropriations for the Interior Department and U.S. Forest Service.
A list of the controversial riders follows. They include riders that would expand federal subsidies for the timber industry, prevent reintroduction of grizzly bears into Idaho wilderness and hinder proper application of the Endangered Species Act, override court-ordered grazing reforms on national forests, block priority land acquisition needs at both federal and state levels, and prevent the Forest Service from updating its forest management plans and thus better managing forests for conservation and other uses.
Moreover, the bill sets a "terrible precedent" of allowing use of Land & Water Conservation Fund monies for non-land acquisition purposes. These purposes include politically motivated payoffs for areas where two high-profile land acquisitions are ongoing -- the New World Mine outside Yellowstone National Park and the Headwaters Forest in California.
The new law allows for $22 million to be siphoned away for economic support to Humboldt County, California and repair and maintenance of the Beartooth Highway in Montana and Wyoming.
Schlickeisen notes that, "This diversion of funds represents a radical departure from the original purpose of the LWCF, which is to reinvest revenue from the development of offshore oil leases -- non-renewable resources -- into acquisition and permanent protection of key land, water, and open space resources." LWCF allocations are grossly inadequate to meet even the backlog of acquisition needs in the four land management agencies, which total in the billions, and state assistance under the fund has been zeroed out in recent years.
The conservationists note that the bill also contains some good provisions that they support, but Schlickeisen notes, "It does more harm than good. The bill makes too many concessions to the extremists in Congress who've made deals with corporate timber and livestock interests at the expense of America's public lands and wildlife."
Destructive Riders in Fy '98 Interior Appropriations Bill
- Land and Water Conservation Fund, Authorizing Language
This provision sets out numerous requirements on the New World Mine and Headwaters acquisitions. For example, it would weaken protection for habitat that has been determined by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to be critical for the survival and recovery of the marbled murrelet -- a rare seabird dependent on old-growth forests -- once a controversial conservation agreement is implemented. It also gives the authorizing committees license to impose any number of additional burdensome conditions on the acquisitions through riders to the FY98 Supplemental Appropriations bill, expected early next year. The Administration currently has the legal authority to acquire these parcels without further Congressional action. Any additional requirements will be onerous and time consuming and will undermine the purpose and inherent flexibility of the Land and Water Conservation Fund. This could set the stage for Congress to insist that all acquisitions have specific enacting legislation -- even though general authorization exists -- and result in the loss of numerous conservation opportunities.
- Land and Water Conservation Fund, Diversion of Funds: The Balanced Budget Agreement provided $700 million above the President's request for the Land and Water Conservation Fund in FY98. Language in the Conference Report would allow an unspecified portion of the $700 million to be used for maintenance by the four land management agencies and allow for $22 million to be siphoned away for economic support to Humboldt County, California and repair and maintenance of the Beartooth Highway in Montana and Wyoming. Any diversion of funds from LWCF to meet the maintenance needs of our federal lands or for political pay-offs in areas where acquisitions are on-going is a radical departure from the original purposes of the fund to reinvest revenue from the development of non-renewable resources into acquisition and permanent protection of key land, water, and open space resources. LWCF allocations are grossly inadequate to meet even the backlog of acquisition needs in the four land management agencies which total in the billions, and state assistance under the fund has been zeroed out in recent years.
- Land and Water Conservation Fund, State Side Matching Grant Program: The Conference report omits the $100 million initially provided by the Senate for the State-side matching grant program of the LWCF. Most of the above groups supported this allocation and believe that the matching grant program is an important vehicle for providing healthy and safe recreational opportunities in local communities. These groups also believe the Federal government should demonstrate leadership in reestablishing our nation's commitment to our communities by revitalizing the state-side of the fund. Cities, towns and counties will continue to go without critically needed assistance in the acquisition of open space and development of recreational opportunities.
- National Forest Road Purchaser Credit Program: The environmental community has strongly supported the elimination of all taxpayer subsidies for Forest Service logging road construction, and we have consistently supported efforts to eliminate the Forest Service Purchaser Road Credit Program. Despite the narrowest of margins on votes on this issue in both the House and the Senate, the Conference Report eliminates the current cap on the use of Purchaser Road Credits in the National Forest System. This provision is a blank check to the Forest Service to exchange millions and millions of dollars worth of public timber for environmentally destructive logging roads.
- National Forest Planning: The forest planning rider is a blatant attempt to place political pressure on a scientifically-based process the administration is currently undertaking to review and make recommendations for changes to existing national forest planning regulations. On August 15, 1997, the administration requested recommendations for independent scientists, legal experts, and economists to serve on an advisory committee to review current forest planning regulations. The administration is currently reviewing over 100 experts recommended, via public comments, for inclusion on the panel and is soon expected to announce its membership. The rider, added to the bill prohibits the revision of any new forest plans not currently underway until such time as final or interim final regulations are adopted. The appropriators are seeking to use the rider to resuscitate a set of discredited planning regulations first developed under the Bush administration and unveiled in the early days of the Clinton administration.
- Log Export Rider: Title VI of the Conference Report, which has never been subject to public hearings or any authorization consideration, would drastically reduce the effectiveness of the law pertaining to the export of federal timber by facilitating the substitution of federal logs for those exported from private lands. In short, the barriers to enforcement of this proposal are so great that the government would be forced to rely on the voluntary compliance of timber purchasers, exporters, and mills. This proposed language should be rejected. The provision would benefit a select few large timber corporations in the State of Washington at the expense of small independent mills.
- Grazing on Arizona and New Mexico National Forests: This rider would overturn a federal court ruling and injunction against the Forest Service on more than one-half of the grazing leases on eleven national forests in Arizona and New Mexico. The public forest, water, and range resources of the National Forests in Arizona and New Mexico have suffered resource damage as a result of poorly managed logging and grazing. Recently, in the face of widespread environmental damage and poor management practices, a Federal judge took action to enforce federal environmental laws on these lands. This language would postpone necessary management reforms and allow continued damage to federal streams, water resources, and wildlife. This rider would allow excessive grazing on national forests to continue to cause mudslides and runoff that threaten to ruin spawning sites of highly-endangered fish and otherwise reduce the populations and habitat of more than 20 endangered species. A task force of Forest Service biologists recently reported that such abuses are widespread in the Service in these two states and that allowing continued grazing in violation of the law puts a greater burden on law-abiding users and taxpayers to restore wildlife and range resources that rightly belong to the public and to future generations.
- Recreation Residence Special Use Fee Implementation: This provision postpones the collection of new and higher Special Use Fees based on new property appraisals. This proposal would benefit a select few and deprive the American taxpayers of fair compensation for the use of public lands. This is inappropriate special interest legislation. This is a Senator Craig rider to benefit his wealthy constituents who have recreation homes on national forest land from the rent increase that happens every 10 years.
- Interior Columbia River Basin Ecosystem Management Project: This provision to extend and revise the community economic studies for the ICBEMP process elevates a single issue for inappropriate single interest legislation.
- Alaska Spruce Bark Beetle Task Force: This Federal Advisory Committee Act exemption is inappropriate. An adequate evaluation of spruce bark beetles in Alaska and the Kenai region, considering in particular the impacts of any proposed actions on brown bears and other fish and wildlife, cannot reasonably be completed by the accelerated deadline of June 30, 1998. The task force should have until June 30, 1999 to complete its report and action plan. The Alaska Congressional Delegation want to speed the EIS process so loggers can cut down Brown bear habitat on the Kenai peninsula.
- Grizzly Bear Reintroduction Planning: This provision would prohibit reintroduction of grizzly bears into the Bitterroot ecosystem of Idaho and Montana and is inappropriate interference in an ongoing planning process and an attack on the Endangered Species Act. Stopping the reintroduction program will prevent the restoration of an animal about which Americans care deeply.
- Brooks Camp, Katmai National Park: Brooks Camp in Katmai National Park in Alaska is renowned worldwide for the unique opportunity it offers to observe brown bears in their natural habitat. The National Park Service recently completed a plan to relocate a lodge in the Brooks Camp and place restrictions on the number of visitors. Despite this plan, the Conference Report prohibits federal funds for Katmai to be used to relocate the lodge and, worse, it actually requires the Park Service to increase visitation ion the current location. By increasing visitation in an area with high bear populations, this language would increase the possibility for human-bear conflicts. This language is a clear threat to public safety.
- Resource Planning Act: There is no justification for this provision. While not perfect, the RPA provides useful information to the public about the future plans of the Forest Service for managing the National Forests. Timber Senators and the Timber corporations do not want the Forest Service to look at the future on the national forest system or plan for its future because when the Forest Service does look into the future logging will not be the primary use of the forests. It will be recreation.

MIAMI - The daughter of Miami-Dade County Commissioner Jose "Pepe" Diaz was involved in a fatal car crash Thursday afternoon, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The crash happened at Southwest 8th Street and 89th Avenue about 12:30 p.m.
An 83-year-old man was driving northbound on SW 89th Avenue and stopped at a stop sign at the intersection of Tamiami Trail, says FHP. He then drove north across the eastbound lanes to enter the median break.
The man violated the right of way of 22-year-old Krystal Diaz, who FHP says is the commissioner's daughter. Diaz then hit the 83-year-old man's car, says FHP.
The man was killed in the crash. An 81-year-old woman also in his car is listed in critical condition at Kendal Regional Hospital.
Their names were not immediately released.
No charges were filed.

Although it seems like Cedar Key's middle name is Fishing," (and first and last names, as well), there's a first time on the water for everyone. With a huge increase in the popularity of recreational fishing and water-based activities, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has an interest in making sure that people who fish Florida waters have a good time, but do it safely, and with the least possible impact on the state's fisheries.
That's where Missy Jackson comes in.

Topic: My mom
Dear members,
First of all i'd like to introduce myself and my family. My lovely mother from 62 is diagnosed with CC since 14 june 2012. She is happely married with my dad from 64 and i am her only son from 24. From being a very strong healthy woman she suddenly became a patient with very little complaints but with an unresectable tumor and a very bad life expectancy. The disease has spread throughout the liver with multiple spots and a positive lymphe node. There was even a spot on her pancreas. She decided to start the battle and is now on chemotherapy (gemzar & cisplatin). I admire her courage, strength and her ongoing happiness.
At the moment the chemo seems to work as her CA 19-9 dropped from an extremely high 140.000 just prior to the chemo, to 23.000 after 3 rounds of chemo. She just got her scan today and we're hoping to get some positive news next week and i hope we'll get some more time.
The doctors said that after 6 rounds of gemzar & cisplatin they stop the chemotherapy. Does this mean end of story? Or are there any other chemotherapies she can try, ofcourse being of chemotherapy for a while to let her body recover and being in a good enough condition.
And what about yttrium embolisation or TACE (trans arterial chemo embolisation) ? I guess it's less harmfull for your body than systemic therapy? What makes a person eligible for TACE or Yttrium since the doctors keep telling us, my mom isn't.
Hope and strength for all,
Never give up, your miracle is on its way

This flu season ranks as California's deadliest in four years, according to state public health officials, who say it's now mostly over.
The flu killed at least 355 people younger than 65 since the flu season began in late September, officials said. That's at least three times the number of Californians in that age group who died during the flu season last year.
Public health experts for months have attributed the spike to a resurgence in the 2009 "swine flu" strain, known as H1N1, which at the time killed 539 Californians under age 65.
"Otherwise healthy young adults who usually do pretty well with flu strains don't do so well with H1N1,'' said Dr. Sara Cody, Santa Clara County's health officer.
State health officials, who expect the flu season to officially end by mid-May, say the majority of those younger than 65 who died in the last seven months were between 40 and 64 years old. And at least seven were under age 18.
Experts say the H1N1 flu bug hits younger generations harder because they often go without vaccinations or may have not acquired immunity through previous exposure.
State and local health officials say they don't track flu deaths in people 65 and over because flu deaths are so much more common in that age group. So tracking flu deaths in people under 65 is a better indicator of the severity of influenza in any given year.
Why is the swine flu so deadly?
Some scientists think the genetic structure of H1N1 targets the lungs, while other common strains tend to attack the upper respiratory system. A mutation in an amino acid might allow H1N1 to bind more effectively to lung cells, making people more susceptible to pneumonia and death.
After catching the H1N1 flu virus in 2009, which took him five to six weeks to shake, Oakland accountant Randy Thornally picked it up again in mid-November, even though he'd been vaccinated two weeks earlier.
Memories of the 2009 virus -- difficulty breathing and excessive coughing that kept him up all night -- taught him a lesson. Instead of waiting weeks to see his doctor, he got treated right away.
"Is it bad luck?" asked Thornally, 63, of his two bouts with H1N1. "I don't know.''
While Los Angeles County has led the state with 64 reported flu-related deaths, Santa Clara County reported 19, the highest in the nine-county Bay Area, followed by Alameda County with nine and Contra Costa County with seven. Solano and Napa counties recorded 3 and 1 cases, respectively.
Several possible flu-related deaths are still being investigated, and many of those who died were believed to be unvaccinated, state health officials said.
Fewer than a third of 18- to 49-year-olds in the United States get an annual flu vaccine, said Jason McDonald, a spokesman with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And just under half of all Americans get a flu shot each year.
McDonald said the H1N1 virus was the dominant strain from 1918 through 1956. It resurfaced in 1977 and again in 2009 in slightly different forms. It's why anyone age 58 or older by now has probably built an immunity, he said.
Dr. Erica Pan, Alameda County's deputy health officer, said flu strains never really disappear.
"H1N1 has been circulating every year, and it's been in our vaccines ever year since 2009,'' Pan said. "It causes infection every year, but it did not dominate the way it did this year.''
State lab tests indicate that the influenza season began exploding in late December, several weeks earlier than last year and six weeks earlier than the 2011-12 season. And by late January, the flu season had peaked.
"Flu is unpredictable,'' said Paul Leung, immunization program manager at the Contra Costa County Public Health Department, who added that while flu cases have declined significantly, they're "not completely absent.''
California generally sees an increase in cases in late December or early January and often peaks in February or March. But Alameda County's Pan noted that the state's last swine-flu pandemic started in April 2009 and ended 16 months later in August 2010, after at least two waves of the virus hit Californians.
It's why Leung and Pan urge anyone who still has not received this year's vaccine -- which expires June 1 -- to get one immediately. The shot will last at least through September, they said, about the time that next year's vaccine will become available. Because flu viruses constantly change, Leung and Pan said, the 2014-15 vaccine will be different from this year's.
Under the new health care law, flu vaccines are now free to anyone with health insurance. For those without insurance, the shot is available at local pharmacies, but not for long.

This blog is about the X Division in Impact Wrestling and I'll have upcoming blogs like this with WWE also once a week.
Lets go back in the days when the X Division was the real deal with the likes of Low Ki , Sonjay Dutt , Jay Lethal , Sabu , Psicosis , Petey Williams and loads more . But no one can or should forget the 5-Star rated match AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels vs Samoa
Its official Sheamus and Justin Gabriel have turned face
Sheamus turned face on the 19th July tapings of Smackdown by attacking Wade Barrett
Justin Gabriel turned face after being accused of 'dropping the ball' by Heath Slater
so I wondered what WWE has in store for both of them and this is how I would put it
Justin Gabriel - A feud with
Alberto Del Rio - He is bound to win a World Champion especially if he is being put in a WWE Championship match against John Cena
Alex Riley - He's been moved back to Raw so it obvious he is going to be put in a rivalry with The Miz . But Im not sure if The Miz is staying at the top or being demoted to the Mid-Card section
Cody Rhodes - In Smackdown , there is 5 main

PRIMARY school pupils have worked alongside a shop for an Easter-themed business task.
Staff from the Budgens store in High Street, Ingatestone, set the Year 5 class at Ingatestone and Fryerning Primary School a challenge to create and buy ingredients for Easter treats.
They will then be tasked with selling the items over the Easter holidays and when after coming back to school, the child who has performed best will be given a hamper full of baking ingredients.
Shop owner Paul Taylor, who set up the task, said: "The students will learn about profits and loss and how hard work can really pay off.
"Inspiring young people to start their own businesses is just one way that we help get the British economy back on its feet."

Several recent compilations have attempted to showcase the local music scene. While none of them fully encompasses all the styles of Portland music, the second PDX Pop compilation does a great job demonstrating that the city has a vibrant pop scene.
With two CDs and 41 songs, there is something for every taste. The first CD kicks off with Sleater-Kinney's aptly titled "Rollercoaster," and demonstrates that the band is on top of the world for a reason. Mirah slows things down a few tracks later with a home-recorded version of "While We Have the Sun," while Nice Nice speeds things up with "Uh-Oh."
Other CD-1 highlights include Glass Candy's sexy, spastic dance track "Lovin Machine," the glitchy "Just Expect" by Copy and Talkdemonic's beautiful "Mountaintops in Caves." The CD closes with "Chemical Reaction," by the Spooky Dance Band, and reminds us again what great talents were lost in a bike accident in 2003.
The second CD features more big name acts, among them the Decemberists, the Gossip and M Ward. While all provide stellar tracks, it's the farm-league contenders who'll really blow listeners away. The Snuggle Ups bounce around the room, while the Cajun Gems sit on the porch and twang. Die Monitr Batss create chaos. Norfolk and Western soothe.
This compilation is by no means a definitive guide to Portland music, but it's a good starting place for curious listeners. Give it a spin and find a new favorite band — many of which will perform at the PDX Pop Now! Festival this weekend.

Compilations are, by their very nature, uneven affairs – meant more to showcase a variety of artists than offer a cohesive listen. That said, PDX Pop Now!'s sophomore offering is just as much a success as last year's debut. Sure, hiphop and Klezmer are equally represented (one track a piece), and yes (surprise!), there's an overabundance of whiny dudes with four tracks in their bedroom. But hey—that's Portland. The good folks who put out this comp and organize the PDX Pop Now! festival have their hearts and ears in the right place. Listening to the standout contributions from such diverse artists as Dolorean, The Gossip, Glass Candy (Miami Pop Now!?), Point Line Plane, Viva Voce, The Snuggle Ups, M. Ward, Wet Confetti, and The Helio Sequence remind me what a fantastically creative and vibrant music scene we are lucky enough to have in our own backyard.

Served on two discs, this collection offers a snapshot of a music scene that's about more than just "pop," that percussive palindrome that points to music meant to be consumed en masse. The compilation leaves out much of Portland's music community: mostly, the musicians working within the boundaries of genres like country, jazz, gospel, old time, metal and, save one song, hip-hop. Instead, the collection focuses on the city's forward-looking musicians, artists who are interested in reforming the templates of popular music, using new and old tools to create something fiercely original. These are many of the artists who are creating the framework for a scene that is uniquely Portland in both its geography and its form. But what is that form?
Well, it includes women, as the PDX Pop Now! compilation features a dozen female-fronted bands, from the angry (the Gossip, Sleater-Kinney) to the kind (Mirah) to the undeniably rad (the Blow, LKN). It also has an isolationist streak, as nearly half the acts included here opt to work the one- or two-person-band route while making music that reinvents the sound palette (Nice Nice, Talkdemonic, Y.A.C.H.T.) or reimagines tradition (Dolorean, Alan Singley, Jessica Jones).
And I have no idea what that means for the scene, except that it sounds great and, jokes aside, sounds like Portland-a sweeping geographical generalization that I'm willing to claim.
