How about Copeland and Sloan? Mahinmi is too important to our bench defense to move him without bringing in another $3 to $4 million back-up C who probably won't be as good.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

How about Copeland and Sloan? Mahinmi is too important to our bench defense to move him without bringing in another $3 to $4 million back-up C who probably won't be as good.
Not sure why you hate on Mahinmi, considering he is anchoring the defense while Hibbert is out, he may have not been as much of a factor in last night game, but currently Mahinmi and Hibbert are in the top 5 for opp % in the paint. If you really think 4 million is too much for a backup center like Mahinmi, you need to check yourself. There are plenty of wings, but decent bigs are hard to come by.
I just find it really interesting that around this time last year, there were discussions about having Ian start because he was doing so well compared to Roy.
I think Ian's ability to hold on to the ball is miles above what it was at its worst last year. Sure, he's not going to be the guy that can catch a pass that only grazes his fingertips, but I don't think he's dropping things for no reason either. To a certain extent, I think that the rebounding strategy for the big men in the middle is to try to tap the ball first rather than grab it - this is because pretty much everyone down low is doing exactly that. Only the wing guys are actually trying to hold the ball.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Yeah they all said it........before Granger got hurt and Lance played the best basketball of his life.
Foretaz: now that's a name I've not heard of in years. I use to read his posts at RATS. He was the king of "reading comprehension please." Maybe he was a troll here at PD after he left RATS, but not at RATS. He could be a little crusty at times with posters, but wasn't a troll.
Never cared for Chauncey, and just ignored OlBlu.
Now, KTK AKA Kobie the King was one I couldn't stand for his one trick agenda. Never cared for Dillion either.
JMO, but vzla isn't nearly as bad as many posters make him out to be. "I say it again, your an adult and NO ONE makes you read his posts unless you choose to do it." If your are like a moth that can't stay away from the flame, then I feel truly sorry for your lack of constraint.
As for me, I read his posts. I don't agrere with somethings he says, but I don't moan and groan about what I don't like calling for him to be banned.
I say this, then drop the subject. The president of a company I worked for once said. "If you don't tout your achievements, few will for you."
In all honesty, vnzla's posting doesn't bother me, but if you've met the dude in real life, the differences between real world Vnzla and PD vnzla are so drastic that you can't help but look at the backhanded remarks at other members and NOT think of him as a troll. It's literally like night and day.

"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
Accuse him of being argumentative... negative... using hyperbole to make his point if you want. Complain about his posting style. But it's not fair to label him a troll. IMHO.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
Agreed. I find the people who constantly whine about vnzla to be far more annoying than anything vnzla has ever said.
I've never been to any of the gatherings, but I definitely agree with your first comment. The only rule he broke today was the "we don't like what he has to say and have been waiting for any possible excuse to give him a 30 day vacation" rule.
So the "final straw" today was that he said that he was recommending that we sign CJ a year ago?

There us a difference in tooting one's horn and rubbing it in people's faces. Theres people here who were right about Roy, about Paul George, Frank Vogel, not panicking last season with the slow start, about David West, but they aren't rubbing it in our faces years later (at least too much, I did proclaim the Vogel to be the guy after only 3 games after all )

Foretaz had a very unique style, but the guy obviously knew a helluva lot about Pacer basketball.
Olblu clearly got a kick out of messing around with people, but the guy was entertaining and funny at times. He turned a harmless emoticon into a smug calling card that will forever be associated with him. I don't think it's possible for anyone to look at without thining of him. That's quite an achievement.
Don't remember Chauncey.
I hope Peck doesn't decide to stop writing these threads just because so many people want to take them off topic. It was a great thread for a while.
To toot his horn about the last of those as if he was all "If we get CJ Watson we'll be champs!" is silly, and to act like he has to do it because everyone hates him and never gives him any credit is absurd. If he'd stop acting like he's the only one who ever wants players not on the team (and that every player he wants would be a perfect fit) I don't think it would be so bad. Example - using someone who didn't want to pay 4yrs $40M for Scola as the example of "lots of people didn't want Scola on the team" is ridiculous.

Whoa whoa! You need to re-read the post I was answering. I was answering the idea of having to package OJ with Copeland or Mahinmi. NEVER did I say anything negative about Mahinmi's play. Now did I? This word hate is a label gernerically slapped on those that disagree with something or some player. Should I hate you for disagreeing with me? That's kinda silly now isn't it?
I like OJ plain and simple. IMO, he's a player going forward with in the future. I don't see Mahinmi as such. There is no guarrantee that the Pacers can re-sign Lance, but it's been proposed to jettison OJ in a trade. I voiced my opinion against it.

There are no rules against tooting your own horn. Some may find it annoying, but to say he's a troll is a major stretch. He used to dislike Bird, but he's backed off of that in recent years and has given Bird praise for the numerous recent successful moves. He was against the West signing, and while he'll never be confused with the biggest D-West fan, he has admitted over time that the signing obviously worked out well for the Pacers. There are numerous instances in which he has changed his opinion about something. And you know what? If Granger actually came back and played well consistently, then I think he'd give him credit too. This is clearly different than Olblu, a guy who had an obvious anti-Luck agenda and was never going to change his tune despite being proven wrong by the evidence. Even though the team kept winning, he continuously said that Luck wasn't any good just so he could get a reaction out of people. Now that's trolling.
If people just would have ignored his CJ comment or given him a friendly jab back, then there would have been nothing else to it and everyone could have moved on with their day. There's no doubt that several people on this forum are clearly responsible for escalating the situation with him. It's a shame that we're dealing with this nonsense while the team is 5-0. Giving him a 30 day ban is completely out of spite and the board should be ashamed of itself.

ETA: There are really only so many times people can be told that they are idiots, their arguments have no merit, and the only reason they have them is because they are haters or fanboys. That falls under the definition of "lack of respect" and has been the source of all the later knee-jerk reactions.
EATA: And though able called it a ban, it's actually a severe infraction.

Don't think I'll ever say "Man, we really could use OJ right now!"
Back up smalls are plentiful.
I absolutely do fear losing our only credible substitute center. Big men with some mobility that can protect the rim are definitely hard to come by. I do not think he is over-paid; and if he is it's not by much.
Nice suggestion! I can get on board with that.
1) Belligerence, hostility, rudeness, abrasiveness and/or disrespect are not wanted here. Discuss without taking shots and without having an attitude or otherwise being unpleasant.
5) We prefer self-restraint and/or modesty when making jokes or off topic comments in a sports discussion thread. They can be fun, but sometimes they derail or distract from a topic, and we don't want to see that happen.
Depending on the circumstances, if something strikes us as blatantly offensive or clearly an attempt to cause trouble on the forum, we will ban an account. It's a case by case situation; usually the ban is permanent, but sometimes it's temporary if we believe things can be worked out in the future.
10) We have a feedback board, and we generally prefer that to be used for the kinds of questions, comments, or concerns that are not "finger pointing" in nature.
In other words, if you want to call me out or call another admin out over a problem you have, please come to me or whomever with a private message instead of making a thread about it. Anything that might get emotional for you, me, or another admin needs to be done in private to show respect and consideration and to actually get things resolved instead of just making yourself feel better.
This doesn't always happen the right way (and sometimes that's on our end, by the way), and when it doesn't, it almost always ends badly or at the very least worse that it could have been if everyone had just kept the discussion private to begin with.
1 being the most important, the #1 rule of this board, the heart AND soul of this community and he has circumvented it enough, the "nice guy if you get to know him" is a 100% arse on these boards, and he is just as disruptive a character at the very least if not a lot worse than olblu ever was.
if you think I did this because of "ONE" post than you are so far out of your mind, it must hurt. I have warned enough, public and private, to make it 100% clear, enough is enough.
the 30 days is not just the 30 days, there will be some harsh discussion among admins and with vnzla (if he's not too stupid to try and post through a secondary account) if he is to be let back at all and IF he is, the leash will be so short it may be suffocating.
free speech ?? talk to GQHC or NSA but whatever the outcome, this is a private board and free speech is not really anymore free than what the admins decide to be free.
this post is a declaration of where things stand, not an invitation to discuss the matter, outside of the admins none of you are part of this discussion, see #10 above.
have a nice day

So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.
If you've done 6 impossible things today?
Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!
Meh, I don't want vnzla banned, but I do think if he just adjusted his posting style even slightly he'd have a lot less issues. Like Sandman I met him at the last forum party and he's a chill, reasonable guy in real life.
Only thing I can think of , is that it was just a culmination that has built up over the last year , and the banhammer just got too heavy for the admin to keep ahold of , when the last straw fell onto the back of the camel and it was dropped... lol and Vnzla just happened to be the poor schmuck who tossed that latest piece of straw ..

I dunno, I like Pulp a lot. He frustrates me sometime, but I would lvoe to keep him for as long as we can. I think he can develop into a very consistent backup 2, that can step in and start on the wing if necessary.

SOME of the best teams in the country have gone to Manchester City this season and had three, four and five goals put past them.
So every Blackburn Rovers fan will know exactly what their side are up against at the Etihad Stadium in tonight's FA Cup replay.
A lot for me depends on what team Manchester City select. If they put our their best 11 then it's going to be very, very tough.
But if they go with the same format that they did at Ewood Park then Blackburn could yet spring a little surprise.
That would be fantastic but in many ways the result does not matter.
Even if Blackburn go there and still get beat 3-0 or 4-0 then it will not matter as long as they put in a great performance and give it everything they have got.
If they do that and Manchester City are still so much better than them, then you don't mind that.
And they should go there with confidence as they have already done fantastically well against City at Ewood.
Blackburn do seem to do better against the sides who have a right good go at them. And I'm sure that's what City will attempt to do tonight.
It's not just one or two goals they are winning by. They've really upped the ante this season and they are now taking it up to four or five.
If I was Gary Bowyer I would be tempted to throw another five players on and try and get away with it!
But in all seriousness they have already surprised City and I hope they can do it again tonight.
Blackburn will go into the game on the back of a win against Doncaster.
It wasn't the greatest performance but a win is a win and the three points was all that mattered on Saturday.
Doncaster, despite their position, are a pretty decent side.
I've seen the way Paul Dickov works with his players. He makes sure they are aggressive, get in your face and try to stop you from playing.
They certainly did that in the second half.
In the first half we needed a goal to open the game up a little bit and we got that right on half-time.
We were hoping Rovers would kick on in the second half.
Unfortunately it did not happen and maybe that owed as much to Doncaster pushing Rovers back as Rovers deciding to sit back and defend what they had.
Fortunately for the home side, Doncaster didn't have that killer instinct.
And it's killer instinct which Rovers are going to need tonight at Manchester City as I can't see them having too many chances.

I'm not a follower of his tradition but I've done two Goenka-retreats and in my opinion the biggest drawback is the assistant teachers. When I have asked them questions at retreats in the past it has become obvious that their knowledge is very limited to what Goenka has told them and that they often are not capable of discussing some of the finer points of the technique, or even acknowledging experiences and thoughts that don't fit into their/Goenkas thought world. I had an email conversation with a regional AT at one point and his serious lack of knowledge of some very basic teachings in the suttas has only reinforced this impression. This has caused me some grief in retreats because it virtually makes you feel like you are on your own with a bunch of tapes, and I sincerely question the over-reliance on tapes and videos to the exclusion of psysically present teachers - the AT's are in my experience not competent enough - for the reason of spreading a sort of package buddhism as far and wide as possible.
Sure, it's Theravada, but it's a neatly packaged, multimedia form of Theravada without reliable teachers.
Regarding Thanissaro critiquing Goenka: He never speaks of Goenka as a person and he admits that he doesn't have much experience with the tradition, but I've listened to talks of his where he strongly criticizes the notion of burning off old sankharas (i.e old khamma!) through the body, and rightly so.

Alabama's number-one shopping destination can now say that it is not only getting a new Von Maur department store, but also a full-scale renovation.
General Growth Properties and Jim Wilson & Associates' Riverchase Galleria, located in Hoover, Ala., has unveiled a massive redevelopment project that will include expansive updates, modernization, and enhancement of both the interior and the exterior of the property.
Scheduled to begin in 2012 and be completed in 2013, other improvements include: relocation and upgrade of Center Court elevators to enhance sight-lines and provide better customer service; installation of aesthetic architectural elements, including pendant fixtures and "sails" with accent lighting throughout Center Court; upgrading and modernizing mall entrances and pedestrian bridge entrances; parking deck improvements; and the renovation and expansion of Center Court public restrooms. New landscaping and way-finding signage will be indigenous and complementary of the surrounding Riverchase and Hoover communities.
"GGP is proud of the reputation Riverchase Galleria has in Hoover and the entire state of Alabama," said Tom Martin, senior general manager, Riverchase Galleria. "The proposed redevelopment and refresh of the center is critical to the success of the center. With the addition of Von Maur, the reputation and popularity of the Galleria is only further solidified as the premier shopping, dining and entertainment destination."
Alabama's first Von Maur will open to Riverchase Galleria's new refreshed look in 2013. The 187,000-sq.-ft. store is located in the eight-story-high glass atrium at center court under the world's largest skylight. It will be the Galleria's fifth department store, joining Macy's, Sears, J.C. Penney and Belk. Von Maur will join other soon-to-open retailers, such as Jared Jewelry and Earth Fare.
Riverchase Galleria is a joint venture between General Growth Properties and Jim Wilson & Associates. The property opened in February 1986 and recently celebrated its 26th anniversary.

The 2011 Pasadena/Altadena Quality of Life Index is now available online for residents to use as a tool when referencing the overall health of Pasadena and its neighbor Altadena. An update of the last index in 2002, the 44-page document is a summary of health-related indicators supplied by more than 70 agencies that focus on the area's population, needs and resources. The index is published by the city's Public Health Department, though the index measures broader categories than health care, such as living wage, child care, housing affordability, academics, arts, transportation and civic involvement. "Social determinants in society and the external environment also affect the health of individuals," said city of Pasadena Public Health Director and Health Officer Eric G. Walsh, MD, MPH. "If communities are to be healthy, each indicator must not only be analyzed, but policies and programs should be in place to improve the health outcomes for each indicator."
Please view the 2011 Pasadena/Altadena Quality of Life Index online or call the Pasadena Public Health Department at (626) 744-6177.

When I first made this I had lots of slow roasted tomatoes in the freezer, so I used those for some of the tomato flavor. This time I had to make the soup with just petite diced tomatoes in a can, but it was still really good. Luckily I have some basil growing in the kitchen window again; the pop of fresh basil flavor was really great in this. But even even without the fresh basil this is a lovely soup recipe; hope you'll try it if you get a cold wet spring day where soup sounds good!
(Roasted Italian Sausage Soup with Garbanzos, Lentils, and Tomatoes was updated with better photos and step-by-step instructions, March 2014.)
Roasted Italian Sausage Soup with Garbanzos, Lentils, and Roasted Tomatoes
(Makes six generous servings, recipe created by Kalyn on a March day when it was cold outside and she didn't want to leave the house to buy groceries.)
1 pkg. (5 links) turkey Italian sausage (I like hot, but you can use mild sausage if you prefer)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tsp. + 2 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. ground fennel
1 T crushed garlic
1 can (14.5 oz.) petite diced tomatoes with juice
1 cup slow roasted tomatoes, finely chopped
(if you don't have roasted tomatoes, use another can of petite diced tomatoes with juice)
1 can (15 oz.) garbanzo beans (chickpeas) mashed slightly
(Can also use 1 1/2 cups freshly cooked garbanzos)
1/2 cup brown lentils
4 cups chicken stock or canned chicken broth
(two 14 oz. cans, plus a little water equals 4 cups)
4 cups water
3 T fresh chopped basil (you can also use frozen basil, the basil is probably optional but it does add a lot of good flavor)
While sausage roasts, heat 2 tsp. olive oil in heavy soup pot and saute onions about 5 minutes, until softened and starting to color. Add oregano, fennel, and garlic and saute 2-3 minutes more. Add roasted tomatoes, diced canned tomatoes, chicken stock, water, garbanzo beans, and lentils. Simmer 40-60 minutes, until lentils are soft and starting to slightly break apart.
Add sliced sausage to soup. Deglaze roasting pan with 1 cup water, scraping off all browned bits on the bottom of pan, and add to soup. Simmer 20-30 minutes more. Stir in fresh or frozen basil (if using) and cook 2-3 minutes more. Serve hot.
Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
This soup is too high in carbs for traditional low-carb diet plans, but it's low-glycemic and using turkey Italian sausage, this soup would be a perfect meal for any phase of the South Beach Diet. Beans are a limited food for Phase One, so if you're doing Phase One I'd have a small bowl of soup with a nice green salad on the side.

LOS ALAMITOS With all precincts reporting late Tuesday, Richard Murphy, a local real estate broker, and former mayor Dean Grose appeared to be the winners for two City Council seats.
Murphy led with nearly 34 percent of the votes while Grose followed with almost 28 percent. The two are the likely winners, pending the tallying of remaining provisional and absentee ballots.
Incumbent Ken Stephens trailed in third place with 23 percent of the votes and newcomer Demi Devaney was in last place with 15 percent.
Murphy is an active council watcher. Grose is a former mayor who resigned in 2009 following controversy over a racially insensitive e-mail. This is Grose's second stab at a return to the City Council since his departure.
Meanwhile, a measure that would decrease the telephone users tax from 6 percent to 5 percent readily won, with almost 70 percent support from voters.
Measure DD was touted as a means to lower the telephone users tax while modernizing the law, which raises about $650,000 for city coffers. But critics criticized it as overly broad and said it would apply to many other types of telecommunication services, including some that don't exist yet. That could increase taxes, not lower them, critics said.
The measure was opposed by Murphy, Grose and Devaney. Stephens declined to say how he would vote on it, but his name was on the ballot argument in support.
This year's contest in Orange County's second smallest city was calmer than the 2010 election, which was marked by controversial campaign tactics and accusations that led to police complaints.

Detailed Description:
The drug regimen for treatment of HIV at the free ART centers in India includes stavudine/zidovudine and lamivudine with nevirapine. Approximately 20-30% of the patients on this regimen experience drug toxicity within the first six months of treatment.
The tenofovir based regimen is one of the least toxic regimens with less than 5% of patients experiencing toxicity. Tenofovir based regimen is not considered as the first choice for ART in the Indian governmental program, because it is more expensive than the other drug regimens, in spite of better clinical outcomes in resource limited settings. The cost of treatment with stavudine/zidovudine is presumed to be less expensive and is the preferred first line treatment, but we believe that although the direct cost to the government is less, patients on zidovudine/stavudine regimen have to spend more money for additional hospital visits and admissions, laboratory investigations and other medications due to ART induced toxicity.
There are no published data including economic, clinical and quality of life outcomes to compare the two regimens from India. Hence, this unblinded randomized pragmatic comparative effectiveness study will seek to identify the best treatment for HIV patients based on the incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER), quality of life (QOL) and clinical outcomes.
The clinical outcomes include viral suppression, change in the CD4 and proportion of patients with toxicity and opportunistic infections. Direct costs for the treatment will be calculated. The QOL scores will be estimated and compared between the regimens using questionnaires. QOL scores and direct cost will be used as utilities for calculating ICER.

MATT Pardoe struck an unbeaten century as Worcestershire won their fourth Second XI Trophy South Division match of the season with a seven-wicket triumph over rivals Warwickshire.
Pardoe plundered 102 not out off 128 balls, including 10 fours and two sixes, as the County successfully chased down their target in 47.3 overs after Warwickshire posted 277-4 at Kenilworth Wardens.
There was one wicket each for Charlie Morris, Graeme Cessford, Ross Whiteley and Shaaiq Choudhry after Warwickshire won the toss and opted to bat.
Sam Hain led the way for the hosts with an unbeaten 124 featuring six fours and four sixes, while Freddie Coleman made 75 before he was caught by Alex Milton off Morris.
In reply, Richard Oliver (55) and Gareth Andrew (50) both made half-centuries in helping Pardoe see the visitors home.
Alexei Kervezee added 33 and Brett D'Oliveira finished on 18 not out for Worcestershire.

Topic: Gas pains and bloating!
I had Whipple Surgery on 11-9-05 and after three different forms of Chemo and Radiation I am now cancer free according to my Cat Scans and Blood Work. I have to take Digestive Enzymes with every meal now in order to properly digest my food. I have a problem with gas pockets just below my rib cage which are rather intense at times! I have tried various types of over the counter gas reducing products but they do not entirely stop the problem . If anyone has had similar problems like this I would appreciate any suggestions on the subject. I have recently had an operation to repair an incisional hernia which occured after my whipple. I had a large piece of mesh screen which was placed across my stomach to help support my midsection. Thanks for any input that you may have on this matter. John.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—There is a side of Temple that's a very deserving NCAA Tournament team, one worthy of a lofty seed on Selection Sunday.
That team beat Syracuse a few days before Christmas, when the Orange were undefeated and ranked No. 3 in the country, and that team knocked off Atlantic 10 juggernaut Saint Louis by 10 points in mid-January. That team also owns a 15-point win against Villanova that looks much better now than it did in December.
"As a program, we know we can play with anybody in the country," senior Scootie Randall says. "When we lose, we beat ourselves. Even the great teams have losses."
The great teams don't have losses like Temple has, though. And that's the other side of Temple, the team that has lost to Canisius and St. Bonaventure and, most recently, Duquesne—all at home. That's the Temple team only worthy of a spot in the NIT, if that.
Put those two vastly divergent teams together—it's that pesky "body of work" philosophy the selection committee holds to—and you have a bubble squad that will be sweating out Selection Sunday. The loss to Duquesne, on February 14, that was the potential at-large killer. That loss, to a team that was winless in the A-10 heading into that game, eliminated any margin for error. That loss put Temple's streak of five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances under coach Fran Dunphy in serious jeopardy.
Since then, though, the Owls have done what is necessary.
"That loss to Duquesne was tough," senior guard Khalif Wyatt said, "but we did a great job putting it behind us and going on to UMass, because we needed that win."
The Owls won by one point at Massachusetts—their fifth one-point decision in a row, by the way—then beat La Salle at home and, on Sunday afternoon, earned a 71-51 victory on the road against Charlotte.
All three of those opponents were harboring their own NCAA dreams, which made all three games pretty intense.
"Playing at UMass, at Charlotte, La Salle at home, you know, that was a tough stretch," Randall said. "But we've got to get it done. That's Coach Dun's philosophy. We have to get it done."
Randall had a team-high 18 points Sunday in the 20-point win against Charlotte, a team that nearly upended the Owls in Philadelphia earlier this month in a game that finished 89-88. This time around, Temple bottled up Charlotte's leading scorer, Chris Braswell, and dared other members of the offensively challenged 49ers to beat them.
Braswell was just 1-for-6 from the field and tied his season-low with four points. Despite his struggles the 49ers still had an opportunity to make this into a close game; they had 20 offensive rebounds in the game and converted those into 21 second-chance points. Charlotte, which trailed by 15 at halftime, trimmed the Owls' lead to single digits on four separate occasions in the second half.
Three of those times, Temple immediately scored on the ensuing possession. The other time, the Owls scored on the second possession to push the lead back to double digits.
"That's an experienced team making plays when they need to make them," Charlotte coach Alan Major said.
Temple finished the game 10-for-24 from beyond the 3-point arc, a stark contrast to Charlotte's 1-for-12 showing; the 49ers made just 17 of 62 shots in the game (27.4 percent).
This win doesn't lock up an at-large bid for Temple—there's plenty of basketball left, full of opportunities for good and bad things to happen—but it's another step.
"Now we're starting to play good," Wyatt said. "Guys are starting to hit shots, we're playing better defense and we've got some momentum going. We want to carry that into Thursday against Detroit, which is going to be another good test for us. We just want to keep taking it one game at a time, and keep building some momentum."

sarcoma survivors
healthy subjects
Detailed Description:
Trial objective: As survival rates of bone sarcoma patients have been raised owing to improved treatment strategies the focus of investigations is now on the medical, social, and economic sequelae of intensive multimodal treatment. This study aims to assess the functional outcome, quality of life and late sequelae in a representative sample of long-term survivors of Ewing sarcoma. The data recorded combined with standardized treatment data covering a 30-year period will produce a data pool that is unique for its magnitude and will be used for the development of guidelines for further improvements of future bone sarcoma treatment.
Working plan: The working plan provides for the assessment of functional outcome and quality of life by means of validated tools (TESS, SF36, PEDQOL) and objectively measuring daily activity patterns by using the Step Activity Monitor (SAM) in 600 long-term Ewing sarcoma survivors and a control group of 300 matched healthy subjects. Information on sarcoma treatment and follow-up is obtained by re-structuring and complementing the database of the relevant patient cohort (n=3000) from four consecutive nationwide and international clinical trials between 1980 and 2008. Procedures of local treatment will be evaluated regarding functional outcome, quality of life, and survival probability and prognostic factors predicting long-term outcome will be identified.
Exploitation of results: The results will be presented at scientific meetings and will be published in international journals. Guidelines will be developed regarding improvements in the treatment, rehabilitation, and social integration of bone sarcoma patients to be utilized in guiding patients and in the decision process of medical professionals regarding their treatment. In the long run, the evidence based guidelines on treatment and follow-up are to be transferred into the health system.

In wwII, an Australian soldier was dispatched to the European battle field.
First day, the officer asked him:" Are you come here to die(today)?"
He replied:"No,Sir,yestoday( yes to die)!" Because he heard the officer asked him whether he come here today.
And the officer heard his reply is, yes to die!

CTA President David A. Sanchez Released the Following Statement: "The governor's announcement today that the state budget deficit is billions worse than expected and even more painful cuts are on the way for California schools, magnifies why voters must approve Propositions 1A-1F on next Tuesday's statewide ballot."There is no wolf in sheep's clothing. The impact of these budget cuts is very real to the students and educators of California. To the 27,000 teachers who received pink slips this year, this is not a scare tactic. To the students whose dropout prevention program was eliminated, this is not a scare tactic. To the students who have already had their music, art, physical education and sports programs cut, this is not a scare tactic."If voters fail to approve the propositions, our schools will undergo another round of massive cuts—further unraveling public education in this state and hurting our kids."Our students and our schools deserve better than this. We all have to stop and think before we vote in Tuesday's election about whether this is what we want for our students and our future. It's time for Californians to stop things from getting worse. And that means doing what's best for California and passing Propositions 1A-1F."

Pharmacy and Medications
Steroid and Withdrawal Symptoms
Dear Pharmacist, Whenever I am on Prednisolone therapy, the doctor usually explains to me about the tapering its dose from higher to smaller and then discontinue that if abrupt discontinuation is made then I will suffer from withdrawal symptoms since the body won`t produce this hormone right at the time of discontinuation. I wonder if this apply to all the steroid like hydrocortisone, dexamethasone, methylprednisolone... And if this apply to the other steroid too, why is it like this because even though the body produce steroid hormone, but it may not produce all kinds of the same synthetic steroid we have in the market today, is that right?
Thank you for contacting NetWellness. Prednisolone is in a category of medications referred to as "glucocorticoid corticosteroids" used for anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activity.
There are natural and synthetic corticosteroids which have different levels of potencies and different levels of other hormones. These preparations are available in various strengths and in various formulations (tablet, intravenous (I.V.) preparations, intramuscular preparations, and rectal suppositories).
Differences in the absorption or metabolism of these various strengths and formulations could affect the ability to taper steroids if needed. The ability to taper the medication may depend on a variety of factors, such as the length of therapy, the elimination of the medication from the body, the patient's health status and disease, as well as other concurrent medications.
There are recommended guidelines for glucocorticoids that state short-term therapy (up to three weeks) can be stopped and does not need to be tapered. Much of the literature with tapers has been conducted with prednisone. (The body changes prednisone to prednisolone). There are some exceptions to this rule in frail or very ill patients, where the prescriber may need to taper. For patients taking longer durations, the tapers are prescribed to prevent symptoms of a lack of cortisol in the body.

|(5.5 Sectors) Just walk up and climb. Can you lead 5.10 sport?? If so, then you can have a blast free-soloing this Flat. No prior climbing here is needed. You have the ability to hike up along the right side, so traversing to safty is always easy. Me and my buddy ChrisT have been running it a bunch and we're starting to lable the face in sectors starting from right to left. The first time we climbed about 10-20' off the ground which eliminated the fear factor (Sector A). About half way up Sector A you'll hit a nice pillar that'll have no foot holds but underclings on both sides of it. Really fun! Everywhere you look theres different ramps to take. Running from sector to sector eventually hitting the last pitch, what we're calling the "Final Sector", which is accessed by crossing the gully, cruizing though the "Trees of Love", and taking the final pitch of crack to the tree/trail. It fully fulfills me. heheMy friend ChrisT said to me while we were climbing it, "These holds are too big.", and I said, "Its not that they're to big, they're to Good! Have fun on the Sectors.

|This was my very first rock climb (did it a few years ago). went up with a friend who wanted to go "hiking", who had done this climb before and we freesoloed it in tennis shoes (you definitely do not need rock shoes---but i guess you could bring them on your first trip if noone knows the route). it was a totally awesome experience which got me hooked to climbing. i run up this thing with non-climbing friends at least once a year. pure fun, pound down some water at the trail head, and bring nothing with you like a back pack to annoy you...you can run up this thing in 15 minutes when you know the way---note you will not summit, you exit off a tree to the left (not the exposed tree on the right, keep climbing up) some ways above the exciting jump. hike up to the trail to get to the last 25 feet of climbing to the summit (also easy, but exposed).....downcliming it and go home and BBQ

|There is really only one place to finish this climb, which from the trail is a notch with a large tree in it. You will be tempted to exit to the trail when you first reach the north edge, but this is not easy due to a 10' overhang right over a dead-end offshoot of the trail (which can be downclimbed, but is the hardest move on the entire climb). Alternatively, keep going up the edge of the N Arete and you will find the easy spot to get to the trail. It's the highest possible place to exit (below the summit block).

I'd estimate this climb is 5-6 pitches long with a 60m rope. There isn't a whole lot of gear. A rack to 2 inches would be fine. Might not be a great first lead as you have to run it out 50' a lot.
This is a good climb to introduce kids to climbing, because you walk off the back down a trail (no rappelling required). The "jump" in the middle, however, may not be easy for kids. We belayed my daughter from both ends and Tyroleaned her across the gap!

The Jump was a bit much given carrying gear, pack, & rope. The Trees of Love (refer to another pic) was the toughest move of the route, and the last 20 ft. up the crack corner/dihedral were harder than the avg rating. Lots of rock to grab!

|Overall a very fun climb...rated at a 5.4 in a few guidebooks I've seen. Climbed this on 6/22/08. In my opinion the hardest pitches were the first and last pitches. Once on the ridge it's pretty much a class 4 scramble up to the leap. After that we climbed a few mini pitches to the walk off point to reduce rope drag. I though the last pitch was harder than a 5.0, but lots of cracks and good pro.

|This is the first climb I did in the Flatirons. Roach rates it as 4th class, so I left the rope behind for my first free solo. Maybe it was because I was sans rope, but this didn't feel like 4th class climbing. I'm not sure how ratings go in the Flatirons, but as a 5.10-11 leader, while still very easy, this felt more like 5.4. Not to be a buzzkill, but I would caution anyone bringing their "non-climbing friends" up this to remember that a fall would still be extremely serious. That said this is a fun climb, I highly recommend climbing the west face to the summit, even though it's awkward, great views.

|Did this for my first solo on Wednesday! Great route with some fun moves. I ended getting a bit off route in a few sections and had to make some 5.5/5.6 ish moves which I wasn't too proud of for a first solo. For first timers, my suggestion is to fight the tendency to want to move right. Ended up missing the jump and came out just right of it. Watch out for false summits, and make sure to be more to the left towards the summit or you will get stuck in a corner about 10-15 feet above the trail that you will have to downclimb to get back on track. The last slabby crack section to get to the top was the jewel of the whole route! This section will bring me back!

Just to clarify a bit regarding the approach, there's a trail junction where one can go either left or right to hike the 1st-2nd Flatiron trail. To get the the bottom of the 2nd, to do say, the Freeway, take the left hand fork. I.e. hike the 1st-2nd Flatiron in a clockwise direction. If one goes right, there is also a spot where it's possible to "step off the trail and onto the rock" and it looks quite like the posted pics. FYI.

This was my second climbing outing and first full "summit". Climbing with an experienced friend, we decided to turn this into a full morning "training exercise".
First, this is great rock. Not too polished, certainly lots of holds, and plenty of space for a "newbie" to learn - either soloing or roping.
We roped this course, my partner in the lead. This was a 3-pitch climb for us. The first pitch was by far the most difficult (5.3-5.4?). After reaching a good spot, we moved onto some additional lessons in the belay process. After completing our second pitch (much more enjoyable views and rock), we decided to simul-climb. This rock face was by far the most fun I have had on any climb (so far). While plenty of people passed by soloing, I found every climber to be courteous, interested, conversational, and friendly. Any climber should spend an hour or two on this rock.
An easy hike in, simple climb up, lots of space - great reminder of why climb!

|One of my favorite climbs in the Flatirons this far. I have never done it roped and have never seen the need to. Don't worry about starting in the right place. Pick a place and go, it's all good, easy climbing. If you stumble across a more difficult looking section, there always seems to be a way around it. I've found it usually takes about 20 minutes or so to climb solo if doing so carefully. It's great fun, and I've found that it's a nice way to start the day before work. Almost anywhere at the base funnels you to the jump unless you do something retarded. As long as you are going up, you're good. It's hard to grade easy climbing, so let's put it this way: the holds are ALWAYS there, albeit a little thin at times. Such a good time though. The first time I did it solo it felt a little spicy. Since then it has just become a nice, fun form of meditation requiring some focus but nothing too serious. There are nice big ledges every couple hundred feet which are comforting to be climbing above. Roping up would be fine too, just slower, but a great place to take beginners! If you are going to solo it, as with anything solo, this is an exercise in commitment. If you feel uncertain beyond reasonable comfort about your capacities here (either physical or mental), rope up for the first time, bailing isn't always so easy. Expect to make new friends if doing during "normal" hours!

Hey y'all,
It has come to my attention that last fall when I was running the Second Flatiron a lot, I wasn't actually running Freeway. I would run from Chautauqua up the 1st/2nd Flatirons trail until I could easily step off the trail and onto the 2nd. This is immediately before the part of the trail that goes up a rock with cut steps. I would then run up Freeway until the obvious end of the route that is also really close to the trail. When all was said and done, this culminated in a 30:09 trailhead to trailhead effort. Sorry for the confusion. I really didn't know I was starting the route late until I got the PM from Darren. Out of curiosity, where does one cut off the trail to do the real Freeway?
LuisC, if you hike up the trail to the saddle between the first and second, you can do some relatively easy, high consequence bouldering to the summit of the second. As far as I know, this is the easiest way.

LuisC, one option is Free For All @ 5.6.
The Pullman Car on the second makes it difficult to climb the Second, like you can the First and the Third. Pulling over the Pullman Car would be a pretty heady solo for sure. (~5.9+)

Someone told me about a week ago that, after Hanson's hiccup, I supposedly have the car-to-car FKT for Freeway. It didn't seem like a great effort, and I'm not even a very good scrambler, but gotta love low-hanging fruit! So 31:48 if anyone wants to go for it. Hopefully it's not actually the fastest time; I'm sure Cordis could blow it out of the water if he felt like it.

|I agree this is a great route for new leads to practice multi-pitch with some pro placement, rope management, and exposure - easy climbing with serious run-outs, but never feels dicey. 1st and 5th pitch (soloed the last pitch up and to the left) the most challenging (but never anxiety provoking). Be ready for lots of solo traffic passing through. Depending upon the pro placement, can have some serious rope drag. Rock tends to be solid and grippy, almost always an easy to spot for foot or bucket. Third pitch has some questionable flacks for placement but otherwise takes takes pro well.

Ran up this today. I don't solo climb at all, so it was a fun, novel experience to be without a rope. The "crux" here is definitely the little bulge about 40-50 vertical feet off the deck. Felt maybe 5.3, to me, but who knows? We also went to the tippy-top of the Second (go up the trail for about 150 ft. after the the Freeway ends, and there's a little weakness on the back side of the summit that you can get up at about 5.5.)
Ideal footwear would be an approach shoe that climbs well. We all did it in regular climbing shoes. Wouldn't be keen in tennis shoes, but I'm not exactly Alex Honnlove when it comes to solo climbing.

Thoughts on this route from the standpoint of someone who is currently a 3rd/easy 4th class climber:
If you find the center line from the trail intimidating, you can climb the rock rib on the right among the trees up to more textured slab, and then work your way left up to the main ridge. This is a deviation from the standard route, but I was able to climb the rest of it at what I would say was mostly 3rd class. If you pick your lines carefully, the difficulty level is amazingly consistent.
The jump: I walked out onto the prominence and just jumped without stopping and thinking about it, because it wasn't that far. If you're used to trail running on/over boulders, it will come pretty naturally. I think the landing also has a slightly shallower angle than the overall slab. I had Vibram Megagrip soles, which helped.
The last rock at the top: as mentioned in Roach's book, the logical line leaves you at the top edge of the Flatiron at a point where getting down would be difficult. To the left is one more rock to overcome before you get to the trail, and I wondered if this would be difficult before I tried the route. Getting up onto the last rock was a little steeper than the rest of the route, but the holds are good. The only difference is one of the holds was a slightly downsloping crack instead of the great knobby holds on the rest of the route, and it took me a minute to figure out a secure hold. After that, the knobby holds return and you scramble off over to hiking territory.

I've been soloing Freeway a bit this year and climbed it with gear for the first time last weekend, taking up a new climber. This is a very good route for sport climbers who want to practice multi-pitch trad techniques. I was expecting to have a very run out climb, but there are numerous good placements. With a 70m rope, we did the climb in 5 pitches. Because the climbing is wide open, soloists can pass nearly anywhere.
P1 takes you a full rope length (230') to a ledge about 20' below the first tree. Have the second climb past the belay on easy terrain to the tree ledge and transfer the belay for P2 to there, 250'.
P2 follows the large groove (right-facing dihedral) to the ledge at the top of the leftmost arete, 210'.
P3 follows the left arete to below the jump. Belay the second up, make the jump (or downclimb the notch), and transfer the belay to the ledge below and south, 210'.
P4 follow the right-facing diheral to the face above. Make the the step around at the false summit, and belay at the tree. Courtesy note - this is a busy spot, and the belay needs to be kept out of the way of soloists. This is a place where you can be a PITA to un-roped climbers, 200'.
P5 cross the gully, surmount the arete, gain the finger crack, and move up and left to exit the climb.
Gear - big stoppers (size 5-10), full range of cams down to a red x4.
Tip 1 - consider racking off your harness, as a shoulder harness dangles and obscures your view of your feet.
Tip 2 - be courteous. Everyone else is soloing.

TPWD News Release — Sept. 9, 2010
ATHENS — A major fish kill occurred at Lake Fairfield August 25 through 26, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Inland Fisheries biologist Richard Ott.
Fish kills also occurred on Lake Fairfield in 2008 and 2009, but this year's kill was several weeks earlier and of much greater magnitude.
An estimated 1,255,674 fish were killed, which was higher than previous years (914,189 in 2009 and 121,568 in 2008). The majority of the fish by number were threadfin shad, gizzard shad, and tilapia but also included sunfishes and common carp. However, a substantial number of game fishes were also killed in this event, including an estimated 27,731 red drum; 48,176 largemouth bass; 1,474 channel catfish and 313 flathead catfish.
Luminant Power staff noticed dead fish the morning of August 25 and notified TPWD Inland Fisheries management and Kills and Spills Team (KAST) biologists. TPWD personnel arrived at the scene that afternoon and began assessing the situation to determine the extent of the kill.
Dead fish were located along 12.25 miles of shoreline from the dam to the effluent cove on the west side of the reservoir and to Big Brown Creek cove on the east shoreline. Dead fish were also abundant on the surface throughout the lower half of the reservoir.
Water quality datasondes (electronic data-gathering devices) were deployed in the northwest cove (within the kill zone) and offshore of the south boat ramp (outside the kill zone) to provide water temperature and dissolved oxygen data at 30-minute intervals over a several-week period. Six detailed shoreline counts and eight open-water transects of dead fish were conducted in randomly selected sections to allow estimation of the total kill.
Water quality data collected at Lake Fairfield on August 25 indicated extensive areas of lower-than-normal dissolved oxygen in the areas where the fish kill occurred. Dissolved oxygen levels below 5 mg/L cause stress and levels below 3 mg/L are fatal to most species of fish.
Daytime dissolved oxygen levels of 0-3 mg/L were recorded August 25 and dropped to 0 mg/L that night. Datasondes documented additional low-oxygen events from August 31- September 2 and again from September 4 to 8, but no additional fish kills have been reported.
The numbers of red drum and largemouth bass killed were considerably above the 2009 fish kill estimates of 1,579 red drum and 1,928 largemouth bass and 2008 estimates of 3,718 red drum and 257 largemouth bass. To put these numbers in perspective, anglers only harvested an estimated 1,329 red drum and 211 largemouth bass during the September 2008 through May 2009 creel survey. TPWD has stocked over 6.2 million red drum in Fairfield since 1984, and anglers spent over 9,000 hours seeking them at Lake Fairfield during the six-month creel survey in 2008-2009.
Normally microscopic plants called phytoplankton produce oxygen using a process called photosynthesis during daylight hours and increase oxygen concentration enough to compensate for respiration (oxygen use) by those same phytoplankton and fish as well as bacterial decomposition. However, during periods of cloudy weather, sunlight (measured as solar radiation) is reduced; oxygen consumption remains high but oxygen production is greatly reduced. When cloudy weather lasts for several days and oxygen concentration falls below the minimum level to support aquatic life, fish begin to die.
Because the watershed for Lake Fairfield is small relative to lake volume, make-up water is pumped from the Trinity River to maintain elevation. Trinity River water is high in nutrients, which are further concentrated in Lake Fairfield due to evaporation and lack of water discharge through the dam. This high level of nutrients contributes to high phytoplankton and fish production in Lake Fairfield but also contributes to dissolved oxygen depletion during cloudy weather.
TPWD biologists began to unravel the ecological factors contributing to fish kills on Lake Fairfield in fall 2009. By combining oxygen data from the datasondes with solar radiation data from a local weather station, biologists were able to understand the mechanisms leading to repeated kills at Lake Fairfield.
In late August and September, water temperature and bacterial activity are still high but day length shortens incrementally. In power-plant reservoirs such as Fairfield, water temperature and day length can become out of phase and increase the probability of fish kills.
Similar fish kills have also been reported at other power-plant lakes such as Victor Braunig and Calaveras near San Antonio but are of much lower magnitude than those at Lake Fairfield.
"It is unknown how the present fish kill will affect the fishery at Lake Fairfield," Ott said. "TPWD staff will conduct additional fish sampling at Lake Fairfield this fall and next spring. Staff will be able to compare catch rates and size distribution to sampling in fall 2008 and spring 2009 and will be better able to assess the population effects to each species."
Additional information about the kill and comparative size distribution of fishes involved over the past three years is available on the Inland Fisheries District 3-C Facebook page at www.facebook.com/TPWDIFTyler

As I go through the Top 100 girl names from the late 1800's and early 1900's, I notice that quite a few are the feminine form of male names. It's noticeable because it is such a big difference from the current trend of unisex names. Most feminine form names have disappeared from the top in favor of names that either are unisex or were originally male names. Take a look:

It's interesting to see the "masculine" preference change from a form of a masculine name to the actual masculine (or unisex) name.
How do you feel about the change in preference? Are there any feminine form names you wish would return to the Top 100?

Vogelsong continues Giants starters' momentum
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Ryan Vogelsong's six sparkling innings in Wednesday's 10-inning scoreless tie with the Brewers continued a familiar trend: The Giants' starters are thriving.
Vogelsong, Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner, Tim Lincecum and Barry Zito have combined for a 1.80 ERA in their most recent outings. They've allowed 15 hits and struck out 19 in 25 innings.
"It seems that things are falling in place for all of us," said Vogelsong, who surrendered three hits in his first performance for the Giants since returning from his stint with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. "It's better to be that way than fighting the other way."
As well as Vogelsong pitched, he still found flaws to address. For instance, he was dissatisfied with his changeup.
"There's always stuff to clean up," he said. "I missed some pitches that in the regular season probably don't get fouled off. So I definitely got away with a few that I need to work on."
Left-hander Jeremy Affeldt also appeared in his first game since participating for the U.S. in the Classic and worked a perfect seventh inning. Left-hander Javier Lopez, who had been scored upon in three of his previous four Cactus League games, struck out two in a three-up, three-down eighth.
"I'm sure he needed that for his sanity," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Lopez, who entered the game with an 18.90 ERA.

Our Thoughts
LS2 is hitting the value segment hard and the FF387 helmet is a great example of this. Its tricomposite fiberglass shell covers all the three essentials and is light, safe and aerodynamic. Inside, LS2 has added a removable moisture wicking liner to go with the fully adjustable flow through ventilation system. And to make sure vision isn't a problem, the FF387 uses an easy changing fog free face shield.

The Way I See It (TWISI) - The Problem With Surprises (TNA BFG Aftermath)
I didn't plan on writing another blog so quickly, but after watching TNA's Bound for Glory this evening, I have a lot to say. Most of this blog (if not all of it) is simply going to be my opinion, thoughts, etc. on what happened at TNA's biggest pay-per-view of the year. I hope you guys enjoy the read and

Hey, guys and gals! It's been a while since my last blog. I haven't had a lot of desire to write as frequently as I did when I first started this series, but perhaps that'll change in the near future. I haven't decided yet, but I'm considering a weekly TNA blog since DK is stepping away for a while.
Who knows; we'll all find out shortly, I guess. But anyway, I'm going to focus mostly
Hello, again. I'm going to do something a bit different this week. Instead of touching on the current happenings in TNA wrestling, I'm going to do a top five list. My list is going to revolve around the top five wrestlers that have jumped ship from the WWE to TNA. Now, I understand that a simple idea such as this can have many loopholes, so allow me to fix them:
1.) I'm not including
Hey, guys. I've been trying to post my blog once a week. My reads and comments have declined sharply, so that must mean my blogs are starting to suck. I'm not fazed because I enjoy writing them. So, I'm back once again and this time, my topic remains TNA, but I'm going to touch on No Surrender, as well as a few other random tidbits. I'm going to start with my predictions for the event. I hope you
I have another TNA oriented blog for all of you to enjoy! This week, I'm going to touch on why I think Bully Ray and Devon should stay in TNA wrestling. I hope you guys enjoy!
As far as I know, Team 3D has yet to renew their contracts with TNA. If they have already renewed, then this blog is meaningless. If they haven't, they need to sit back and consider the situation
Hi, guys! I'm back for another edition of The Way I See It. My biggest struggle is deciding exactly what I want to do with this blog series. I don't want to do a review of TNA's programming because we have someone that does it already. So, until I develop a foundation, I'm going to stick with providing my opinions on various things within the TNA wrestling world. I have a couple of things on my mind
Hi, guys! First of all, I'd like to thank all of you for your support on my last blog. I enjoy your comments and I appreciate the fact that you guys took the time to read it. For that, I thank you.
Moving on, after watching Hardcore Justice, I immediately had an idea for my next blog. However, after watching Impact this week, TNA effectively threw a curveball and I had to take a step
I posted my first blog a couple of weeks ago following Chavo Guerrero's debut in TNA Wrestling. It was mostly a rant because I felt the way they hyped him was wasted by his debut feud. However, quite a few good points were made from the comments left on the blog, so I'm not as upset anymore.
Moving on, I've decided to start a blog series. I don't know how consistently I'm going to write,

To start, I'd like to say I love TNA Wrestling. I've been following the company for about seven years now and I've refused to change the channel, regardless of how poor the product was. As I'm sure everyone would agree, they've gotten a lot better over the past couple of months and I think they are, for the most part, moving in the right direction.
I've been loyal to the company for
