If you're recording soft synths, are you outputting them from the computer and running them through FX and then inputting them back into the computer? Or are those just staying inside the computer the whole time?It sounds like the bigger issue is the string instruments. There are a lot more variables with recording acoustic instruments into a computer. You have to worry about microphone, preamplification and AD/DA conversion. Your Lexicon Alpha is a mic preamp and AD/DA converter. For recording, it's the analog to digital conversion that matters. For playback, it's digital to analog. So strictly speaking the digital-to-analog converter will not improve your recording in any sense, other than possibly allowing you to monitor your own performance more clearly and maybe do a better job mixing/mastering.The Lexicon Alpha may not be a high-end recording device, but it's certainly better than just sticking an analog microphone into the mic port on your laptop, and using the built-in mic preamp and AD/DA convers.Maybe if you let us know what problem you perceive in your own recordings, somebody here can advise you whether your Alpha is worth upgrading, or if your efforts and money might be better spent on microphones and/or effects.
Also, I wasn't offended by Immersion's post at all, so it's no big deal.
I'm in grad school so I don't have a lot of money. I'm definitely looking for something that's not going to run me broke. Also, I wasn't offended by Immersion's post at all, so it's no big deal.
Quote from: Castleview on November 20, 2013, 05:17:34 PMAlso, I wasn't offended by Immersion's post at all, so it's no big deal.That's good -- and I didn't think Immersion's comment was all that bad, but I hope we won't get started telling people their equipment choices are terrible. Also, if someone says they're thinking about upgrading from their entry-level audio interface, I don't know if $2500 devices are the best suggestion. That's so many steps above what you're using now, I think you'd be better served by a recommendation for something by Presonus or Focusrite or maybe M-Audio.
I remember being surprised when I first got started making ambient music that most of the other people I knew had very nice gear -- expensive mixers, high-end Lexicon reverbs, good monitors, and that sort of thing. Now lots of people just buy an audio interface for their computer and use the default effects built into their DAW software, and that's it -- they don't pay for any effects, either outboard, or higher-quality plugins.
Thanks for all the advice guys. I'm definitely going to take these recommendations into consideration. I'll admit that I've probably been guilty of too much reverb (some of it probably too cheap in quality) in the past. I did buy ValhallaRoom recently and that's definitely a huge improvement over almost every plugin I have. I was blown away TBH. I'm definitely going to be more conscious of reverb when I record in the future.

All-time hit king Pete Rose isn't concerned about New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter surpassing his hit total.
In a wide-ranging interview with Sports on Earth's Joe Posnanski, Rose handicapped Jeter's pursuit of his record.
"I don't think he will break the record," Rose said. "First of all, I don't think he wants to leave the Yankees. And the Yankees, they're about winning. Jeter had a great year this year, but he's what? Thirty-eight years old? And he's a shortstop? How many 40-year-old shortstops you see walking around? Not too many, right? And they can't put him at third because A-Rod's there. They can't put him at second 'cause Cano's there. He don't help them in left field—he's got to be in the center of things, you know what I mean? What are they going to do? Put him at first base?
"He still needs 950 hits, right? He had a great year this year, but you think he can do that again? At 39? A shortstop? Let's say he does it again. Let's say he gets 200 more hits next year. And let's say he gets 200 more hits when he's 40, though I don't think he can. OK, can he get 200 more hits when he's 41? You think he can?"
Rose, now 71 and still banned from baseball for life, finished his 24-season major league career with 4,256 hits.
Jeter, 38 and in his 18th major league season, ranks 11th on the all-time hits chart with 3,304.
Added Rose: "I don't think he can get 200 more hits at 41, but let's say he does. OK, now he's 42. He's gonna get 200 more hits then? At 42? Let me tell you, I've been there, the body locks up. Jeter's a great hitter. I'd say he hits like I did. But he's gonna get 200 hits when he's 42? I don't think he will. And even if he does all that, he's STILL 150 hits short."

Tyler Dance Group to Headline Cinco de Mayo at Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center May 8
Event celebrates Mexican-American heritage and lifestyles of Texans
ATHENS, Texas — Athens will celebrate Cinco de Mayo at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC) May 8 with food, music and dancing in addition to the normal TFFC activities such as fishing, tram rides and dive show presentations.
Featured entertainment will be Tyler Ballet Folklorico, directed by Cecilia Salgado, with performances at 1:30 and 2:30 p.m. The accomplished dance group will be returning for its third performance at TFFC.
Other popular attractions will be dance performances by Athens elementary students and a salsa contest featuring hot sauces from local restaurants.

In keeping with the Texas-Mexican heritage theme of the event, Texas State Parks interpreters from the Rio Grande Valley will be offering bird walks and other outdoor activities as well as sharing information about state parks located near the border with Mexico.
Music will also be provided for public dancing in the Hart-Morris Conservation Center by DJ Will from 4:30 until 9:30 p.m.

Food will be available for purchase, and persons or businesses interested in selling food or other items at the event should contact James Booker at (903) 670-2266.
Cinco de Mayo is one of two Mexican national holidays celebrated throughout Texas. According to The Handbook of Texas, these celebrations originated in Mexico in the nineteenth century. Cinco de Mayo (May 5) commemorates Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza's victory on May 5, 1862, over the French expeditionary forces at Puebla, Mexico. The second holiday, Diez y Seis de Septiembre (September 16), commemorates Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla's grito de Dolores ("cry of Dolores") on September 16, 1810, at the village of Dolores, near Guanajuato. Diez y Seis is Mexico's national Independence Day.
The Cinco de Mayo festival was second in importance only to Diez y Seis. This event recalled the Mexican defeat of French forces in Mexico in 1862. Exiled Mexican conservatives had invited Napoleon III of France to send the Maximilian and his wife, Carlota, to rule Mexico, in opposition to the reform movement led by Benito Juárez.
Cinco de Mayo has a special relationship to Texas in that the leader of the Mexican army that defeated the French troops at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, was a native Texan, Ignacio Zaragoza, who was born in Goliad.
Many Texas cities developed a fiestas patrias tradition. In Houston the celebrations began in the 1920s, when the Hispanic population grew large enough to require a Mexican consulate.
In 1973 Mexican-American leaders clashed with the Mexican consul in Houston, declaring that the true function of their fiestas patrias was to promote their own unique Mexican-American heritage and lifestyle, and not that of Mexico. It is in that spirit that the Cinco de Mayo celebration at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center is held.
Cinco de Mayo at TFFC is sponsored by Red Hat Rentals, McDonald's, Schneider Electric, ETMC — Athens, FutureMatrix, Inc., Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites — Athens, First State Bank, Virtual Communication Specialists and Citizens National Bank.

An early job was going on the show circuit in the Midwest with Fred Wetmore. In 1934 Norm traveled east to New York to work for his brother, Harold, herdsman of the great Walhalla herd, alongside brother, Vic. On July 12, 1936 Norm became herdsman at the recently established Judd's Bridge Farm, New Milford, Connecticut where he was instrumental in the development of the herd, seeking out foundation cows, especially from the Midwest. In late 1936 Norm purchased Jane of Vernon for Judd's Bridge. Without question the greatest animal to be bred there and influence the breed was Colonel Harry of J.B, son of Jane of Vernon. He sold in the Judd's Bridge Sale in 1947 for a breed record at that time of $23,500 to a syndicate.
In 1945 Norm left Judd's Bridge and came back to Wisconsin with his wife, Marion, and family. In December 1945 a farm was purchased by Norm, Marion and his brother, Vic, near Lake Mills, Wisconsin and the Norvic herd was established using the combination of the two brother's names.
Noteworthy herd sires included Lee's Hill Masterpiece M and Norvic Larry's Lilason. Norvic Colonel Elso was the first Swiss bull to enter the Badger State Coop in Shawano, Wisconsin in 1953. Others followed into A,.I. and Norvic bred many proven sires including Norvic Lilason's Beautician and Norvic Telstar.
Strong cow families were developed there. Probably the most famous was Norvic Lady Loa. One of the breed's great pictures is of Norvic Lady Loa and her 9 daughters - born before the days of ET work. Many foundation cows left Norvic to go to herds throughout the U.S. and the world.
The late 50's were the Glory Days for Norvic. In those days while the National Show was quite often at Dairy Cattle Congress, it did move around. Norvic Farm was Premier Breeder and Exhibitor at the 1957 and 1958 National Shows; Premier Breeder in 1959 and 1963. They were Premier Breeder and Exhibitor at the first World Dairy Expo in 1967. In the first year of the All American Contest in 1965 Norvic Farm had three animals recognized. Others followed.
Starting as a young lad Norm worked many sales. Following Vid Vye's death, Norm took over Brown Swiss Sale Service in July 1947. That fall he returned to Judd's Bridge to manage their sale. The first Imperial Sale (national sale)?was held that fall and continued until his death. The Springtime Show Window Sale was an annual event with Norm and Martin Fromm working together in the box for many years.
From 1973-1975 Norm served as a National Director and served on the Dairy Shrine Board. He was one of the founders of World Dairy Expo. In 1971 Norm was placed in the Hall of Fame of the Dairy Industry and was named Dairy Shrine Guest of Honor.
Norm passed away on October 22, 1976. He was survived by his wife, Marion, who passed away July 2010 and his children, Gary, Nancy, Wayne and Norman C.
Active Master Breeder Award - Milan F. "Bob" and Steve Blessing
Left to right: Bob and Helen Blessing; Leon N. Button, award sponsor in memory of his father, Leon W. Button; Roger Neitzel, Historical Society.
In 1936 a farmer had been seeing and reading about the Brown Swiss breed. Liking what he saw he purchased a calf for his 10 year old son's 4-H project and the first Brown Swiss came to a farm near Ft. Wayne, Indiana. 75 years later the breed is sure glad as it would be hard to imagine our Brown Swiss world without the Blessing family. The 2011 honorees are Milan F - known to all as Bob - the 1936 4-H'er and son of the very wise Fred Blessing - and his son, Steve.
Bob showed at his first canton show in 1939 winning Junior Champion honors with Bernices Valentine 69136. They were at the canton show again in 1942, but then aren't to be found in the exhibitors list in canton show reports again until the 60's. During these years Bob and Helen were married and their family grew to five kids, Sandy, Steve, Sheryl, Shirley and Stan. Showing soon expanded to the state fair, and they went to their first national show in 1970 after V.O.H Taun Heather was named Grand Champion at the state fair.
At age 16 Steve began milking full time, joined the operation full time following graduation in 1968 and soon became the day-to-day manager of the herd. (Stan is also part of the operation with his main responsibilities lying in the crop side of the operation.)
A few purchases were made each year to bring in cows to become the foundation families for the herd. One such purchase by private treaty in 1975 was Betta Vue Neva. In 1980 she was the National Total Performance Winner. In 1983 her daughter, Blessing Elegant Neda, received the same honor, making them the first dam daughter pair to do so.
Things really came together for the Blessings at the 1983 Central National at Madison winning the Total Performance shawl, Grand Champion with Blessing Performer Kara, the coveted Norman E. Magnussen Best 3 Females Award and Premier Breeder and Exhibitor Banners. Success in the show ring has continued which has led to many, many All American honors and Premier Breeder honors at several national shows.
In 1985 Blessings won their first PTPR award. Then in 1988 the streak began. They have won the large herd award for 23 consecutive years, 1988-2010. Their current rolling herd average on 138 cows is 24,654 pounds milk, 4.%, 1045 pounds fat, 3.3%, 816 pounds protein.
Blessing Sensation Bria was the first ever Cow for All Seasons winning it in 1996. They've had two more winners in 1998 and 2000. They bred the 2000 National Total Performance Winner, Blessing PR Shirlan (Steve has been savvy enough to market some very good ones through the years!) In 2002 Mort Tower Frisky (owned with Rex Mort) won the National Total Performance Award, another successful family developed at Blessings.
From 1982-1988 Bob served as a National Director. In 1991 Steve and Stan won the Whitie Thompson Herdsmanship Award at Expo. In 2001 Steve received the prestigious Klussendorf Trophy.
Buyers at sales seek the Blessing bloodlines to serve as foundations in their herds. The herd is a "top of the list" stop for internationl visitors. The All Americans and PTPR?winnings continue to mount with A.I. bulls from Blessings making their mark (Banker, Agenda, Legacy to name a few). Blessing Farms, truly an all-round breeding program.

FORGET paints and canvas, a new exhibition is out to show all a modern artist needs is an iPad.
For its latest collection the West Ox Arts gallery asked for anyone working in digital media, using a mobile tablet device, to submit their pieces.
The result was a mixture of digital paintings, drawings, collages and illustrations which now decorate the walls of the Bampton Town Hall's gallery, in Market Square. Gallery curator Erin Singleton, pictured with work by Oxford artist Martin Beek, said: "It's a really diverse mixture of different techniques and styles."
- The exhibition will run until January 27 and the gallery is open from Tuesdays to Saturdays, 10.30am to 4.30pm, Sunday 2pm to 4pm, and is closed on Mondays.

Topic: Moving toward the journey's end - sensitive
My husband Terry has fought hard for over two years with surgery, radiation and chemo but we have run out of options and are now concetrating on palliative care. Terry's chemo ended in early October due to rising bilirubin levels. Although he had many scans and other tests in an effort to identify a way to bypass the blockage of the bile ducts, we learned that the problem was due to compression of the tumors in the liver on the bile ducts and there was no available treatment. During the past three months, he has had good periods when we were able to get out of the house and to socialize with friends and family as well as more difficult periods.
Last week, however, he became very ill so I took him to the ER. His bilirubin is now over 13 and is continuing to rise and he is quite jaundiced. He has experienced increasing confusion and memory loss that is being treated with laculose. He has also developed very low blood pressure that becomes worse if he tries to stand and we have been told this cannot be corrected. His ascites had increased a great deal and were drained twice while in the hospital, giving him a greatly increased level of comfort. At my request, yesterday they installed a drain so the fluid can be drained in a bottle, thus eliminating the need for further hospital procedures. A surprising effect of the drainage of the ascites is that his ability to eat seems to have been restored. For months he has been living on liquid supplements, yogurt etc. As soon as the ascites were drained, he ate a chicken sandwich and he has been eating well ever since. I wish we had done this earlier.
We think he will be discharged from the hospital today and the plan is to move him to a rehab facility for a week or so. We are not optimistic that he will benefit much from rehab at this point but it will buy me some time to set up home health care. I know that many of you have had good experiences with hospice and I may consider it at some point but, based on a previous negative experience with hospice for my mother, I would prefer to avoid it as long as I can. Fortunately, I will be able to hire caregivers to help me through this process. We don't have children and there are few family members nearby so I will need some help.
Despite all that is happening to him, my husband refuses to believe he will not recover. The aide at the hospital told me he said he plans to return to work as soon as he gets better. It breaks my heart when he says things like this but maybe he needs to retain a little bit of hope to get through this period.
I haven't posted for quite some time but it has helped me to put these thoughts in writing. This discussion board has been a wonderful resource for us and, once all this is over, I hope to return to doing some advocacy work for the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation.

Run, Rabbits, run: Why Ray Warren fled Kerry Packer
Ray Warren was Kerry Packer's favourite commentator but the late Channel Nine owner never could track him down to tell him.
At the launch of Warren's book The Voice at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday, Channel Nine chief executive David Gyngell spoke fondly of Warren – a man he described as the "greatest rugby league caller of all time" – but laughed when explaining how Warren would avoid Packer at every opportunity .
''The reason he never heard from Kerry was because he never took his calls, if Kerry came near him he would run away,'' Gyngell joked. ''Kerry said, 'I don't think I've actually spoken to this bloke. He's bloody good when he turns up though.' But Ray refused to see the man. That's how good he is. There has never been a better football caller than Ray Warren, there'll never be a better caller than Ray Warren because of his understanding of the game, his understanding of the people, understanding when they want to hear something and understanding when to shut up.''
Hundreds of sports and media personalities gathered to celebrate the launch of Warren's memoir.
Co-written with Fairfax Media journalist Andrew Webster, the book tells the story of how a kid from Junee chased his dream and became arguably Australia's finest sports broadcaster.
Phil Gould also spoke candidly about his relationship with Warren and the far-reaching effect his commentary has on rugby league and Australian sport in general.
''I have been so lucky to work with this man, to know this man, and I don't think too many people can say in their chosen field or in their occupation [that] they got the chance to work with the best of all time,'' Gould said.
Webster said he disregarded Gould's pleas of ''no, no, no, no'' to prevent him from going through the labour of writing another book, and added he was humbled to work on something with a man he grew up idolising.
''I was just a fat kid from Urunga who grew up doing Rabs' voice at the back of the bus and at uni,'' Webster said. ''If I had a dollar for every time that I've done the Brett Mullins try at a bar in Rabs' voice, I'd be a very rich man. There were some very emotional times, we had a couple of cries. Rabs did first though.''
A Ray Warren book launch wouldn't be complete without an appearance by Billy Birmingham, whose 12th Man recordings helped create a mythology around ''that voice'' which millions have tried, with varying degrees of success, to imitate over the years.
''Dead set in the fair dinkum department, this whole thing is ridiculous,'' said Warren's alter-ego brother Reg over the sound system. ''Why on earth Ray continues to deny the existence of his four brothers, it's just staggering. The simple bloody fact is there are five Warren brothers from Junee.''
After telling the story of how his real 86-year-old brother Jack thought the imitation was in actual fact a long-lost family member, Warren said the book was ''a nice story'' and one he thoroughly enjoyed crafting.
''No matter where you come from, if you've got the desire and passion and energy, don't ever give up, because believe me, dreams do come true.''
Warren's close friend and Channel Nine colleague Ken Sutcliffe was the MC at the launch and reflected on his 46-year friendship with ''Rabbits''.
''I heard this voice on the radio and I thought I was going down to a radio station where there had been a guest guy from Sydney to do a call, but it was in fact Ray Warren,'' Sutcliffe said. ''I re-evaluated my career from that particular moment and thought 'I'm not going to a be a broadcaster, this guy's too red-hot'. And it has proved so.''

Does anyone know how she is doing? I read her blog and feel like I know her. I'm a little worried.
When I called earlier, Barb had been asleep. So, I left a message on Barb's phone sending tons of love and hugs from the entire CC.org family. I know that she will appreciate this. Please, continue to send your love to her.
Loves and hugs to Barb!
love and hugs to Barb!
Jeff G.
Hi All,
spoke with Barb. She is feeling much better, today and will try to spend some time on the computer, reading up on your postings. Thanks to each and everyone.
Thanks Marion!
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you here. You often take the time to call people and check on how they are. It really makes a differene in this community. I am always so scared to contact people (despite what people think, I am actually quite shy). You really help keep everyone in this ragtag family together and we are very blessed to have you.
And on to Barb....
I am thinking about you often and prayers come your way everyday (dont worry I am keeping your son and Peggy in there too). I hope they are taking good care of you and that sassy side of yours has a chance to come out and play once in awhile. Take care.
Has anyone heard any updates on Barb's condition?
I spoke with Barb, yesterday. She is doing quite well. If it weren't for the ankle (which she sprained) she could possibly, be much more mobile. Otherwise, she is in good spirits and seems to feel comfortable with her decision of discontinuing the chemo treatments. She always sends her love to all.
Hey Barb,
Still in my prayers. Hope you and your son are enjoying your time together while he is outta school. Bigs hugs and warm thoughts.
Thank you for the update. She is in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you, Barb!
Marions, Thanks for the update on Barb.
Hi Barb,
I'm glad you're doing okay.
Hi Barb,
We are thinking of you every day!

CT-Guided Soft-Tissue Biospy
Your doctor has requested a CT-guided soft-tissue biopsy. The CT scanner uses x-rays and advanced computer programs to create detailed images inside your body. This is a minimally-invasive procedure that can usually be done without an overnight stay in the hospital. During a biopsy, one of our physicians will use images generated by a CT scanner (also called a Cat scan) to accurately insert a needle into the suspect tissue, allowing a sample to be removed for testing. Our team of expert musculoskeletal physicians, nurses and technologists is led by Chief of Musculoskeletal Radiology.
Why Choose the S. Mark Taper Foundation Imaging Center for a CT-guided soft-tissue biospy?
Before Arriving for Your Exam
You will need current blood tests before your biopsy; as well as tests for PT, PTT and platelets. You should discuss these tests with your referring physician before the day of your biopsy.
Do not take aspirin or aspirin-related medications for 7 days before your procedure. You should discuss any changes to your medications with your physician.
You will need to wear a hospital gown for this procedure, so please wear comfortable clothing that you can change easily.
You will not be allowed to drive the day of this procedure, so please arrange for someone to drive you home.
You should expect to be at the imaging center for approximately 6 hours, longer if blood tests are needed.
After Arriving
A radiology nurse or technologist will ask you a few questions regarding your medical history, they will also do a few simple tests such as taking your blood pressure.
Please inform the technologist, radiology nurse and/or physician of any allergies you may have before your exam.
An imaging physician will discuss this procedure with you in detail and answer any questions you may have.
During Your Exam
You will be asked to lie down on the scanner table.
You will be given a local anesthetic. This will only numb the area around the site of the procedure. You will remain fully awake.
The table you are on will slide into the scanner. This process usually includes multiple scans, so you will likely slide into the scanner more than once.
The scanner is open at the back and the front, allowing you to see out. The technologist will always be able to see and hear you during your exam.
You will be asked to hold very still and at times to hold your breath.
The imaging physician will perform the biopsy and remove a tissue sample.
This biopsy itself usually takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes.
After Your Exam
You may eat and drink as normal after leaving the center.
The tissue sample will be sent to a laboratory for examination. Results from the test will be sent to your physician, usually within 48 hours.
Your physician will discuss these results with you and explain what they mean in relation to your health.

Klindt: 'Axe has helped me '
5:30am Thursday 5th June 2014
By Andy Warren
5:30am Thursday 5th June 2014
By Andy Warren
NICOLAI Klindt has admitted Robins boss Alun Rossiter may well have done him a favour by dropping him earlier in the season.
The Dane returns to Blunsdon tonight as a guest for Nick Morris in the Robins' clash with Leicester, less than two months after Rossiter let him go due to a disappointing start to the season.
Despite having to sack his mechanic and take on caring for his bikes himself after being dropped, Klindt was eventually fixed up with Scunthorpe in the Premier League and has been scoring well for the Scorpions ever since as he's shot up to number one.
Klindt also finished second in the opening round of the Danish Championship to earn himself a place in the Grand Prix qualifiers, admitting the wake up call given to him by Rossiter may have been exactly what he needed.
"I don't know if it will be weird coming back but I don't think about it in that way," he said.
"I think Rosco may have done me a favour by dropping me earlier in the season because it made me realise that I need to work three or four times as hard and I've gone and worked more on my bikes and more on myself.
"Since I've left Swindon I've progressed a lot and I've been scoring really well. I know it's in the Premier League but I've still been scoring around 12 every time.
"I'm just waiting to get a chance in the Elite League and I want to score as many points as I can."
Tonight presents Klindt with a chance to advertise his services to potential Elite League suitors, and it's a chance he's determined to take.
"I don't know why I shouldn't score some good points and although they're near the bottom of the league it will be a hard meeting.
"I've not heard from any Elite League teams recently although I think I've been doing pretty well, but nobody is looking and nobody has been able to fit me in because of the schedule.
"I'm looking to get as many guest bookings as I can and that would suit me better.
"It might be the phone rings tomorrow and I get offered a doubling up place which is perfect."

Detailed Description:
This study will evaluate if there is a difference in survival between elective treatment of draining lymph nodes vs. clinical nodal observation in patients undergoing Mohs surgery for high risk skin squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who have a normal lymph node exam. Each treatment arm is accepted as a current standard of care, and the objective is to compare outcomes between the two arms.
|High Risk Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
|Procedure: elective lymph node dissection
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|High Risk Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Treated With Mohs Surgery Randomized to Elective Management of the Draining Lymph Nodes vs. Periodic Clinical Nodal Observation
Further study details as provided by John Zitelli, University of Pittsburgh:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Disease-specific survival [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
- Disease-free survival [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
- Complications [ Time Frame: 5 years ]This refers to any adverse event or side effect related to any of the study interventions.
- quality of life [ Time Frame: 5 years ]This refers to quality of life measured with a standard questionnaire. The two arms will be compared with respect to their differences (if any) in quality of life.
|Study Start Date:
|April 2011
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|May 2022
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|May 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Elective lymph node treatment arm
Patients entering this arm will undergo selective nodal dissection of the draining lymph nodes with subsequent radiation and/or chemotherapy if indicated.
Procedure: elective lymph node dissection
This entails selective lymph node dissection in patients with negative lymph node exams. The nodes dissected are those that drain from the high risk cutaneous squamous cell cancer. Subsequent radiation and/or chemotherapy may be administered in a small percentage of subjects, depending on the result of the neck dissection.
No Intervention: Clinical observation arm
Patients who enter into this arm will undergo regular, periodic clinical nodal observation with subsequent evaluation and treatment if indicated upon discovery of a palpable lymph node.
Detailed Description:
This is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded, controlled trial of high risk head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas which will compare specific outcomes between two treatment arms. Subjects are eligible patients who are sent to Zitelli & Brodland PC for Mohs micrographic surgery of tumors that meet our high risk criteria. These patients with clinically-negative lymph node exams will either enter into the arm of nodal observation or the arm of elective management of the neck, which is currently the standard protocol per the UPMC ENT department. The patients in the observation arm will have evaluation and treatment of their lymph nodes if an abnormality is detected clinically. The primary endpoint is disease-specific survival. Secondary endpoints will include overall and disease-free survival, complications, and quality of life measures for each arm.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:

Worley could be in line to start Opening Day
SARASOTA, Fla. -- The Twins have yet to name an Opening Day starter, but if right-hander Vance Worley stays on his current schedule, he'd be the club's starting pitcher for the opener on April 1 against the Tigers at Target Field.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said he'll wait until after Tuesday's off-day to make an announcement, but Worley is on track to start on Friday and March 27, which would be in line with him starting on Opening Day on April 1.
Worley said he hasn't been told about making that start but acknowledged it would be an honor to take the mound for the Twins in the regular-season opener.
"If it falls that way, yeah, absolutely," Worley said. "I'll take the ball and see what I can do with it, and hopefully bring us a 'W.'"
Worley started against the Orioles on Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk over four innings. His Grapefruit League ERA is at 6.00, but he says he's happy with the way his pitches are coming along this spring.
"Everything is coming out of my hand the way I want it to, velocity-wise, and my breaking balls are coming out the way I need them to," Worley said.

You have been admitted to the hospital for surgery. You and your family or friends may have many feelings of anxiety or nervousness about the surgery. Rest assured that the hospital staff has standards in place to ensure that your stay during surgery is a safe one.
Hospitals follow safety and quality measures that are set by government organizations, researchers, and expert panels. These measures require hospitals to:
Here are some measures that the hospital staff will take to prevent surgical errors and infection during your hospital stay and surgery.
Receiving the correct surgery and care means making sure that your doctors, nurses, and others on your healthcare team know who you are. This means having your correct name, telephone number, and other unique identification on record. Hospitals have standards to:
One way the hospital staff will enforce these standards is by using at least two forms of patient identifiers. Having at least two forms when giving medications, collecting blood samples, and performing surgery will decrease the chance of mistakes in patient care.
Along with correct patient identifiers, the hospital staff will make sure that all important information is collected prior to your surgery. This is called preprocedure verification. During this time, they will make sure that all information and equipment needed for your surgery are available. They will also make sure that the information and equipment are correctly matched to your patient identifiers and that they have reviewed the information among themselves and with you.
Doing surgery on the wrong part of the body can be a terrible mistake. Your surgical team will take careful actions, including checking with you, to mark the specific site on your body where surgery will be done.
Hospitals have also adopted many standard procedures to help prevent infection during surgery. You may notice many of these techniques during your stay. If you are concerned about a technique to prevent infection, you are encouraged to speak up. Ask your doctor about how they will prevent infection. Regular and thorough hand washing by hospital staff is one of the most important aspects of infection prevention.
The hospital staff will do the following to help prevent infection:
Many hospitals also have a program to identify patients who harbor dangerous bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant staph infection (MRSA), prior to surgery.
Your healthcare team will do the following before, during, and after your surgery:
The hospital staff will follow strict guidelines so that your surgery and hospital stay are successful. However, there are things you can do to lower your risk of infection. Lifestyle factors, such as smoking, can actually increase your risk of infection. Consider these good habits and lifestyle changes:
Your doctor may also ask you to bathe with a special soap before surgery. Do not shave the area near where you will have surgery. This can irritate the skin.
Tell your healthcare team right away if you have any signs of an infection, like redness, swelling, pain, fevers, or chills.
Together, you and your healthcare team can ensure that your hospital stay and surgery is a safe one.

e-Poll is a paid survey site I think my friend Jess introduced me to about 2 years ago. They do have surveys that are lengthy but the points earned are worth it, and often times they even have questions your kids can answer (which my Busy girl LOVES). I like cashing out for Paypal money but have been known to save up for Amazon money too.
Have you done e-Poll? What are your favorite survey sites? I love being able to earn money doing surveys when my kids are (too frequently) not sleeping well at night!

Mum Rachel Butler is urging families to sign an e-petition to trigger a parliamentary debate about pancreatic cancer.
Rachel, who lives in Swindon with her family, including children Kieran 18, Niamh, 16 and Ryan, 15, are all behind the petition after losing her dad to pancreatic cancer last year. She believes politicians should be doing more to get funding for greater research into this type of cancer.
Rachel said: "My dad Pete Gillett was 66 when he died from pancreatic cancer 41 days after diagnosis.
"It's important to raise awareness of this illness as the symptoms can be few or linked to many other minor illnesses so diagnosis is very difficult.
"If more people and GPs are aware of this cancer and know what to look for maybe it can be caught early enough for surgery or treatment. My dad's cancer had already spread and he deteriorated very quickly."
Rachel's calling on people to sign the e-petition to the Department of Health which will trigger a back bench debate in Parliament.
The e-petition – "Provide more funding and awareness for pancreatic cancer to aid long overdue progress in earlier detection and, ultimately, improved survival rates" – has until April 8 to run.
It claims pancreatic cancer is the fifth leading cause of UK cancer death with the worst survival rate but it receives only one per cent of the money spent on cancer research.
Over the last 40 years the survival rate has remained the same at three per cent.
Other cancers have seen significant improvements such as bowel cancer rising from 22 to 54 per cent; breast cancer from 56 to 84 per cent and prostate from 31 to 81 per cent.
In order to trigger the debate, the e-petition must attract 100,000 signatures. At time of writing it was just over 51,000.

I have identified two new setup zones in ConocoPhillips (COP) since the recent decline from the Jan. 30 high. These are both what I call Fibonacci Price Cluster Zones. The definition of this type of trade setup is the coincidence of at least three Fibonacci price relationships that come together within a relatively tight range. These clusters identify key support or resistance decisions in the market. In this case they identify key support decisions.
The first zone is currently being tested at the $56.93 to $57.20 area. This zone includes two 100% price projections of prior declines, along with a 0.618 retracement and 0.50 retracement along with a 1.272 extension of a prior swing up. If this zone does not end up holding, there is one more area that interests me below this at the $55.93 to $56.34 area. This second zone also includes an important symmetry (100% projection) along with a 0.618 retracement of another swing.
So far price continues to hold above the first price cluster zone with the low being made at $57.05 on Feb. 6. If price continues to hold above here, take your buy triggers and define the risk either below the $57.05 swing low or just below the low end of the cluster ($56.93) if you want to give it a little bit more room.
The upside target for this setup if it plays out fully is the 1.272 of the swing into the cluster zone which is $63.41. If the trade starts to play out in your favor, it is a good idea to get to a breakeven stop ASAP and then to trail one up as you go. The risk reward is rather healthy on this setup.
If you need some help with what you can use for a "trigger entry," please refer to my guidelines article.

PHILADELPHIA—One by one, over and over, drill after drill, over two practices in two days at another team's facility, the New England Patriots' receivers caught balls from Tom Brady. Rookies, youngsters, veterans, newcomers, incumbents, wide receivers, tight ends, Swiss Army Knife-types. Brady kept throwing, somebody in a blue jersey kept catching, a Philadelphia Eagles defender kept getting left behind.
None of the receivers was Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd, Rob Gronkowski or Aaron Hernandez.
MORE: Wes Welker 'put up' with Belichick | Vick's still got it | Fantasy source: Quarterbacks
These, then, are the names to remember, for now: Danny Amendola, Julian Edelman, Aaron Dobson, Kenbrell Thompkins, Quentin Sims, Zach Sudfeld and Daniel Fells, to name a few. They all took differing paths to the Patriots, they're all on the spot to pick up where the absent receivers left off, and they all are in the middle of a crash course in chemistry, with each other and with Brady.
They also are on a mission to render those missing receivers invisible, as irrelevant as the organization is treating them, except Gronkowski. In fact, Amendola was asked, it's not even worth the effort to mention their names here and now, is it?
"Probably not,'' Amendola answered, with a squint and a smile.
Amendola has heard the comparisons the most. He arrived as a free agent as essentially a straight swap for Welker, when he escaped to Denver after contract talks broke down.
At 27 and fresh off four seasons in St. Louis, Amendola is already a voice of experience among his receiving mates—along with Edelman, the aforementioned Swiss Army knife. Edelman is the same age and has the same level of experience, but has been a Patriot his whole career and thus knows all about rapid roster turnover.
"You don't even think about that. In the National Football League, there's turnaround every year,'' said Edelman, the Patriots' leading returning pass-catcher with 21 in a season that ended in early December when he broke his foot.
"That's all in the past,'' he added, speaking of the departed receivers. "We're thinking about right now. Right now is training camp and an opportunity to compete.''
And right now, the faces are largely unfamiliar.
There are the two draft picks, Dobson in the second round and Josh Boyce in the fourth. Thompkins and Sims are undrafted rookies, as is Sudfeld, one of the swarm competing at tight end, along with returnees Fells, Michael Hoomanawanui and an injured-reserve stash from last season, former Giant Jake Ballard.
Yet if the joint practices with the Eagles in Philadelphia were any indication, they're already clicking with Brady and with each other. According to a tweet sent by ESPN's Chris Mortensen, on Tuesday, Brady threw 48 passes overall in drills against Eagles defenders, and completed 44.
It only seemed as if they each went to different players. Draft picks Dobson and Boyce made virtually every play they needed to (at least until Dobson was benched for scuffling with the Eagles' Cary Williams, a pre-arranged punishment agreed on by both coaches). Thompkins made a strong case for himself with his ability to get open deep.
Brady, of course, was a big reason for the exquisite precision— "Tommy's Tommy; if you're in the right area, he'll hit you,'' Edelman said. But Brady acknowledged what his mostly-new teammates did to make it look so easy.
PHOTOS: Preseason highlights | NFL cheerleaders | Preseason schedule
"I'm proud of all of those young players for coming in,'' he said. "We've thrown a lot of stuff at them. I said the other day that it's not like we're backing off because that's not the way our offense is; we've got to keep putting the pressure on everybody, whether it's Aaron or Josh or KT or Zach Sudfeld. Everyone's who's out there is expected to go in there and execute at a pretty high level.''
So far, so good. "Everybody's learning off each other and getting better,'' Amendola said, adding that he's in a slightly better position than most because "I've been in four or five offenses in five years … I can adapt well.
"We've got a tight-knit group. We're coached well, and we're anxious to get out there on the field and prove it.''
Good enough to end all questions about who's not there anymore, though?
"I'll just say this—there are a lot of great receivers that come through New England,'' Amendola said, "and we're all excited to be here as well, and we're excited to step up this time.''
Of course, seeing some players makes bringing up the past irresistible. Such is the case with Sudfeld, who's listed at 6-foot-7 and 260-pounds—very Gronk-like dimensions—and did a great impression of him on a handful of posts and crosses in and around the end zone over the first two days.
"There are so many things I have to improve on. There is so much work I have to do to get to where I want to be,'' Sudfeld said. "But so far, it's been very good; I've been able to get out here and compete. There's still a lot of work left to be done.''
By everybody, including Bill Belichick, who has to figure out who makes the team and where and when they'll line up. Before taking the field for the first joint practice, he was asked how the new receivers have progressed. "Well, we'll find out,'' he answered, with the closest thing you'll see of a chuckle from him.
"I think it's a hard-working group. They're smart. They're out there every day and they're improving,'' he continued. "They have a long way to go, a lot of situations that we're just starting to get into —red area, third down, two-minute, combination coverages, different blitzes, sight adjust, those kinds of things—as we get further into camp and preseason.
"Then in the regular season, that's all going to pile up, so we'll see how they all handle that.''
In their first unofficial test against another opponent, they appeared to handle it very well.

Cubs honor Soler, Tseng for July dominance
DENVER -- The Cubs named Triple-A Iowa outfielder Jorge Soler and Class A Kane County right-handed pitcher Jen-Ho Tseng the organization's Minor League player and pitcher of the month for July, respectively.
The 22-year-old Soler -- the Cubs' No. 6 prospect and No. 53 on MLBPipeline.com's Top 100 Prospects list -- batted .406 with a .500 on-base percentage, an .891 slugging percentage and a 1.391 on-base plus slugging percentage in 24 July games between Double-A Tennessee and Iowa after being activated from the disabled list on July 6. In 15 games with Tennessee through July 22, Soler batted .463 with two doubles, a triple, six homers and 15 RBIs.
The Cuban outfielder is averaging one extra-base hit every 4.6 at-bats and has produced a .744 slugging percentage to go with a .457 OBP.
