Editorial Reviews
"This is a terrific blend of adventure ('Seeing a bison gallop thirty miles an hour—as they can—is like seeing a grand piano suddenly sprout horns and charge you with the speed of a horse.') and ecological forecasting (and forewarning) that aptly conveys the passion of a devoted outdoorsman, and serves as a wake-up call to the state of our planet."—Publishers Weekly
"An informative, heartwarming and, at times, heart-stopping read."—Colleen McBrinn, Today's Travel blog
"The season's must-read new memoir."—Outside's Raising Rippers blog
"A beautifully written, moving meditation."—Richard Louv, author of The Nature Principle
"Before They're Gone is a beautifully written, moving meditation on the meaning of parenthood, our parks, and the first generation of children to grow up in the age of global warming."—Richard Louv, author of The Nature Principle and Last Child in the Woods
"Intriguing premise; decent execution—certainly of interest to environmentalists and other eco-minded readers."—Kirkus Review
"Michael Lanza braids a story of family, wilderness, and climate that's at once heartwarming and terrifying. I envy his kids for the incredible year they spent exploring America's finest wild places. And I mourn that they—and my own daughter—will have to endure the devastating consequences of our heating planet. Lanza makes abundantly clear that our children deserve better than the legacy we're leaving them."—John Harlin, author of The Eiger Obsession: Facing the Mountain that Killed My Father
"I grew up in a national park, worked in twelve others and have visited well over two hundred of them. Their values, for people like me, often are taken for granted. In this wonderful book, Michael Lanza's children learn and experience what is most important about our national parks – the necessity to leave them 'unimpaired for future generations' – and why."—Bill Wade, Chair, Executive Council, Coalition of National Park Service Retirees and former superintendent of Shenandoah National Park
"Delightful … a fresh and engaging way to tell the climate change story."—Laura Helmuth, senior science editor, Smithsonian
"Wilderness adventurers like Lanza are the advance scouts of global warming, bringing back firsthand testimony from pristine landscapes that powerfully corroborates what climate scientists are telling us about our changing planet. But this eyewitness report is much more than an impassioned polemic: it's also an entertaining collection of backcountry anecdotes—surprise encounters with grizzlies, anxious moments on glaciers and wild coastlines, jaw-dropping views from remote summits—that bring climate change to life in a way that's more palpable and persuasive than any data chart. Above all, Before They're Gone is a fetching love letter to Mike's wife, children, and friends and to the wild places he treasures as only a hiker, climber, and explorer can."—Jonathan Dorn, editor in chief, Backpacker
About the Author
Michael Lanza is a veteran freelance outdoors writer and photographer. He is the northwest editor of Backpacker magazine, where his articles about the impacts of climate change on Montana's Glacier National Park and other wild lands helped Backpacker win a National Magazine Award.

But I think your book espouses a great deal of hope as well in getting your kids out there. My kids are 10 and 7, and i too try to get them out as often as possible. Over the last year, my oldest has asked how climate change is impacting national parks we visit. This winter we went to Death Valley and she asked the ranger about such change when we were in Badwater. He said to look at the "lowest point" sign, and of course the elevation below sea level is changing. There are many other changes too, but I think people just say Badwater has a fixed elevation, or even Everest, but it's not.
Maybe that doesn't sound hopeful, but I think by taking my kids to national parks that they see beautiful things, learn of the pending threats, and determine to preserve them. Hopefully they believe they can stem the tide, and maybe it's going to just take another generation to get there.
Thanks again for writing such a great book, I really enjoyed it!
One of my favorite lines: "Powerful landscapes like the Tetons will manhandle your psyche; they can make you wonder what the hell you've been doing all these years, for which you won't have a satisfying answer." (This exact scenario happened to me and my husband during a vacation to Zion, after which we quit our high-paying jobs, bought an RV, and moved to the Grand Canyon. In the five years since, we've worked and lived in five National Parks - each an experience beyond belief.) If YOU haven't felt the emotion Lanza describes in that quote, I say: "Get thee to a National Park." Quick!
And that's the jist of this book... The parts of this country that were so unique we decided to make them National Parks and protect them for posterity are being dramatically changed by global warming. Everything IS connected and Lanza does a great job of laying out the parade of cause and effect that will make our country's most special treasures un-recognizable in just a few decades.
This is a book with an important message, but there are plenty of personal anecdotes and fun thrown in too. I recommend it to anyone and everyone -- you'll enjoy the ride and learn a lot as you go.

Phlebotomists draw blood for tests, transfusions, research, or blood donations. Phlebotomy programs are available from community colleges, vocational schools, or technical schools. These programs usually take less than one year to complete, including classes in anatomy, hematology, medical terminology, and laboratory work, and lead to a certificate or diploma.
Further, phlebotomists must learn specific procedures on how to identify, label, and track blood samples. The National Center for Competency Testing (NCCT), National Healthcareer Association (NHA), the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP), and the American Medical Technologists (AMT) offer Phlebotomy Technician certifications. The average annual salary for phlebotomists was $34,630 in May 2017, and employment of phlebotomists is projected to grow 25 percent over the next 10 years. Beyond major requirements within the phlebotomy department, you may consider McNeese State health major degree requirements as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Clayette by Chavant - Best Sculpture Clay!
For those seeking the perfect, non-firing, oil based clay, we are promoting the new and exceptional Clayette by Chavant. With a beautiful buff-white body (great for evaluating forms during the sculpting process), it's remarkably non-sticky, and comes in soft, medium, and hard consistencies.
For students learning to sculpt we recommend the soft Clayette, as it is easy to work yet holds its shape exceptionally well. If you are an experienced sculptor, you'll love the working qualities of the hard. It reduces the need for any armature due to its self-supporting qualities.
For more information about Clayette, visit Chavant.com.
Oil-based Clay
In professional sculpture, the process usually begins with a clay model using professional-quality plasteline, an oil-based clay. By using plasteline, the sculptor is able to achieve exactness of the model in shape and size, and is able to make significant changes with relative ease. When the sculpture is completed in clay, a mold is made--either a rubber or plaster mold, depending on the intended final material. It's usually a permanent material like resin, ceramic, porcelain, or bronze. The great advantage to this process is that multiple copies of the original sculpture model can be produced.
Water-based Clay
Other kinds of clay may also be used for the final sculpture, such as waterbased, ceramic (pottery) clay. This kind of clay must be baked (fired) in a kiln to become hard and permanent. After the sculpture is completed, it is important to hollow out or drill certain areas because heavy, solid parts may crack or cause the object to explode in the kiln. For those who don't own a kiln, the sculpture can be taken to a local pottery or ceramic shop, or to a local school or art center for firing.
Polymer Clay
Polymer clay is actually a kind of plastic (polyvinyl chloride) and contains no clay minerals. It can be baked and hardened in a regular oven at a low temperature. Two popular kinds of polymer clays are Sculpey® and Cernit®. The artists at Learn Sculpture far prefer the workability and responsiveness of plasteline clay, particularly in the creation of large, realistic sculptures. Due to the nature of polymer clay, it tends to limit the size of sculptures to small items, but it is also a favorite of doll and small figurine makers. Different kinds of tools are also required. One advantage is that polymer clay can be painted after baking, and it also comes in a wide range of colors.

This is probably the best "Get Well Soon" care package EVER! Just got this huge OhMiBod in the mail yesterday. It's my first ever gift from my Amazon wishlist! Special thanks to Jeyellbee for getting it for me. So sweet of you! Can't wait to use it after I've recovered from my surgery. At least I have some time to figure out how to work it until then.
Tigguhh Tuesdays will be postponed for a while until I get better. I'm not sure how long it'll be as I'm still in pretty bad shape.

It was my birthday this past Monday, April 20th! With all the excitement going to Coachella, I haven't been able to post much about it. Oh yea, btw, I went to Coachella for the first time! I've got tons of pictures from the incredible weekend to upload! Now that I've finally recovered from 4 days of debauchery and the best kinds of sin imaginable, I'm able to document and post said events. I've also realized I'm not getting any younger, I should let Tigguhh come out to play some more. I used to love being an exhibitionist and didn't really care about what anyone thought, but my insecurities and body issues have kept me thinking maybe I should hold off until I'm happier with how I look. I'd take a bunch of pictures or videos and delete them all. I've been working really hard in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and working on my body. Although I feel I still have a long way to go, I'm proud of what I've achieved. I'm one year older (I'm frikkin 32!) and I feel great! Everyone wants to feel sexy and it's good to embrace it every now and then. What better time to strut your stuff in your birthday suit than on your birthday…er, well birthday month. :)
GOOD MORNING ;]more
Now that my WordPress app finally works I can post a bunch of stuff I've been meaning to. I can't wait to post pics from our recent trip to SF. :]
It's been a while since Tigguhh's made an appearance. It's been a while since I've taken a shirtless post workout selfie actually. It's been 3 months since I've worked out and my insecurities have gotten the best of me. But it's a new year and a new me. We all know how it starts in January, let's see how long this lasts lol.
Let's also see if my WordPress app actually posts this. It recently had an update. If you are reading this then yay….I can blog again lol. It didn't work, Womp Womp. Had to upload the photos to my Picasa and then link images from there. Ugh. Oh well.

Got my issue resolved. Works like a charm...
Where do we make this folder? Root/Documents??
I did that, and the other extension on the download page, installed the app, and put files in. Nothing shows up at all.
Any ideas?
-nm, i figured it out. Its located in var/root/media. no need to create any folders, its already there.
thanks guys!
One thing i did think of for future programming, wouldnt it be easier to make the program point to the pictures folder on the phone? So instead of starting ibricker, loading a file, starting this app, then sending the file, it would already be there on the phone from syncing with itunes. Just an idea.
Also does this program send anything thats in the Documents folder other than pictures?
Last edited by meandub; 2007-09-03 at 08:29 AM.
For sure! that's why it points to that documents folder. You can already easily attach photos to an email. That function was built into the iphone. This gives you the ability to throw any type of file you want into the Documents folder and attach it to an email. Typically this would be used for documents you email to people on a regular basis, i.e. brochures (pdf) company info sheets, sell sheets, anything that people may ask you for on the go.
Did you getting working? If not, the problem may be a with the naming of the file. Try emailing a simple file that is supported by the iphone. Then look at the original file that is not going thru and try to rename it without any suffixes. Pm is you continue to have difficulties.
Thanks for the program.
Regarding the blank black screen issue, if seems to fail when there is a space in the file name, for example "foo bar.txt" vs. "foobar.txt".
thanks for the fix

September 2016
Last week at noon service (a weekly interfaith worship gathering at HDS), I sobbed through the sermon and "die-in," where black students lay on the floor to symbolize and protest the killings of our black brothers and sisters across the nation. The weight of violence crushed on me, and I poured out tears. I thought about Christ taking the pain of the world. Although that is HIS role—not mine!—I couldn't help but grieve for the hatred, strife, thoughtlessness, and ignorance of humans. Then Debbie sang Rise Up and I will never forget the feeling in that room as the "dead" rose (symbolic on multiple levels!).

Budget, schools up for discussion
The message was simple; Union County schools are about to feel the sting of the state deficit.
"We are flat broke," N.C. Sen. Tommy Tucker said of North Carolina's government.
Tucker along with N.C. Rep. Craig Horn, both Republicans, spoke to a small group of around 30 Weddington residents at a community meeting Thursday, March 31.
The meeting was designed to describe the painful decisions the two are having to make while helping craft the 2011-12 state budget, and the effect those decisions will have on Union County schools. The 2010 fiscal year ends June 30.
Horn spoke first and told the group North Carolina has a $3.6 billion deficit and school districts throughout the state are going to have to survive on less financial support from the government.
Horn placed most of the blame for the deficit on past members of legislature in Raleigh.
"It has been too easy for the government to spend money in the past," he said.
According to both Horn and Tucker, the cut in state money for education will have a major effect on teacher assistants, the university system and assistant principles.
Both men said they knew how important teacher aids and assistant principles are to the education process, but they also expressed that tough choices would have to be made.
"We don't want to cut anything," Horn said.
"We know there are real people behind these numbers," Tucker added.
Both indicated they intend to protect all teachers from being casualties of the new budget.
In addition to unrestrained spending by the men and women of legislature in Raleigh, Horn and Tucker pointed to the recession and how the state generates revenue as major culprits for the financial turmoil North Carolina is in today.
According to Tucker, the state receives 54 percent of its revenue from personal income tax. During the recession as the unemployment rate rose in North Carolina, there was less money available to tax and thus a smaller amount of revenue coming into the state.
Despite the deficit, one of the ways legislators could help reduce the state debt is off the table.
"We aren't going to have a tax increase this year," Tucker said.
Audience member and teacher Adam Haines disagreed with Tucker and said a tax increase should be discussed. Haines expressed that no one liked tax increases but said the government needs to find a way to raise revenue.
Another audience member, Julia Auzenne, believed the legislature is overlooking an obvious source of information that could help them in determining how much money should be spent on education.
"Go talk to the teachers," she said.
At the end of the discussion both Horn and Tucker encouraged people to get involved in the political process and to communicate to legislators their thoughts and feelings.
"We need to hear from you," Horn said. "These are things you can have a voice in."
They also expressed the need for the politicians and the people they represent to work together to get North Carolina out of the predicament it currently is in.
"We have to come together to plug the gap," Tucker added.

Robin's Weight-loss Journey
Robin has a zest for life that you rarely see in people, embracing travel and adventure to the max. Her laugh is even zesty, powerfully erupting from deep within. I've had the pleasure of working with Robin in The Body Project and we also have a shared interest in essential oils and a mutual friend we're both quite a fan of. What I love about Robin is that regardless of what she's been through in her life (and there are a handful of things not necessary to touch on), she chooses the side of acceptance and peace, dedication and fire. This project is nothing short of that. What we will document is her pure dedication to saving her own life.
On July 17, 2017 Robin will undergo gastric sleeve surgery. In the months to follow, she has to embrace an entirely new way of living and eating. Simply, she has to be even more mindful than she may be already. Aside from the inevitable weight-loss and reversal of her diabetes, Robin said that the biggest reason she's undergoing such a major surgery is because of her nephew who she wants to be able to sit with in a rollercoaster seat at Disney World in 2018 and know that he's safe. She said, "I'm finally taking my life in my hands." I said, "Yes! Rock on, girl! High five!" and we did, with tears in our eyes.
Join us as we document her journey once a month for a year, and please (even though she has a slew of cheerleaders, myself included, by her side) send her all the love and good vibes you can as she changes not only physically, but likely also mentally and spiritually. We're both not sure what to expect and we have a pseudo plan...and that pseudo plan is to not really follow a plan. We're embracing the adventure of it, true Robin-style.

A photo of this scene is displayed in: A Smile Is A Smile Is A ... under section: Photography. I am taking here the opportunity to thank the family Mwobogelo for their great hospitality during my stay there (Itete). They could not, like the Chiefs in other villages, see me pitching a tent in the wild, while they had a house and space to offer, during my research project in social anthropology* intended for the University of Berlin. There are many more to be thanked, which I will be duly mentioning in my travel journals section. Hope not to forget any one. Thanks to you all.
* The study was never submitted nor published. However, I hope to publish some of the insights gained (noted in my travel journals) and discuss some problems in detail, under the heading Journals, which will moreover include some of my drawings from the field. I may also refer to these studies in Realm Homeros (Words), in order to support, in certain specific cases some of my contentions, I have occasionally indulged in. Most of these insights are actually the result of a very free, intense and an uninhabited interaction with people of all ages, classes and denominations, they are not a result of some disembodied abstract observations of their culture and language only. However I do use such more generalized observations in elucidating, when appropriate some more abstract concepts in philosophy, history and science. Nevertheless, I have experienced most of the stuff with full sense of subjectivity and as such, they belong here, in the realms beyond, around and above the purely scientific or for that matter literary. Here my uncle is million times more than the kith of a Lewis Morgan, the class member of Karl Marx, more than wage-working consumer of the advertising agency or more than a mere potential vote of the politician. Moreover, he can be a good or bad a uncle. He can be friend or even an enemy! It is a universe in itself. The domain of the manifest, the felt and of course also of the perceived. Here religion, subjectivity and all that is lying in higher regions, in spheres like mathematics and understood through the study of proportions (geometry ) and structural kinship-relationship (algebra) and in things financial (arithmetic) all come together and transform everything to the wonder of the poet or a child, for the act of creation! Welcome to the Realm of the Muses!

I am a father, husband, and English teacher at a public magnet school in Ann Arbor, Michigan. For much of the last decade I have wondered how it is possible to simultaneously fill all of those roles well, as each one by itself often feels as if it would require nearly all of my time to do right. This problem, and a deep sense that writing instruction in our country has a lot of areas where it needs significant improvement, has led me to the farthest corners of the writing instruction world in an effort to be more efficient and effective with my writing instruction. The answers I've found and the ways they've changed my life both in and out of school are found in my twice weekly newsletter, The Re-Write Blog. I hope it helps you to be a better teacher, parent, partner, and friend to all those in your life.
Sign up for my twice weekly newsletter to get the following:

Tom Service presents the first in a week of events, in association with St. George's Bristol, for Radio 3's Brahms Experience.
Over the next five evenings, Tom introduces live performances from Daniel Hope (violin), Stephen Kovacevich (piano), the Skampa Quartet, BBC Singers and BBC National Orchestra of Wales. During the intervals, Tom discusses aspects of Brahms's life and music with performers and experts. Plus, there are more fascinating insights into Brahms's world in Radio 3's The Essay, delivered in front of our live Bristol audience and recorded for broadcast after the concerts.
The Brahms Experience continues across Radio 3, all this week, in Essential Classics, Composer of the Week, Afternoon on 3 and Through the Night.
Tonight, the Skampa Quartet pair Brahms's second quartet, whose tragic overtones are offset by its vigorous gypsy influences, with Dvorak's ebullient 'American' Quartet. After the interval, they are joined by Robert Plane in Brahms's late masterwork for clarinet and strings.
Brahms: String Quartet No 2 in A minor, op.51 no.2
Dvorak: String Quartet No.12 in F, op.96 'American'
8.25pm INTERVAL
Robert Plane discusses Brahms's relationship with the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld, whose playing inspired the composer to emerge from retirement.
They examine what it was about Mühlfeld's musicianship that so appealed to Brahms, how Mühlfeld's performance style influenced the works Brahms composed for him, and the lasting legacy they had on each other's lives.
Brahms: Clarinet Quintet in B minor, op.115
Skampa Quartet

Live from Colston Hall, Bristol
Presented by Tom Service
The BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Conductor Laureate Tadaaki Otaka perform great orchestral works by Brahms, as part of Radio 3's Brahms Experience in Bristol.
The Academic Festival Overture is a musical thank-you to a university that gave Brahms an honorary degree, but the piece is far from dry academia: Brahms described it as a 'boisterous potpourri of student songs'. Violinist Veronika Eberle and cellist Andreas Brantelid join the orchestra in the Double Concerto, Brahms's last orchestral composition, written as a gesture of reconciliation to violinist Joseph Joachim, who had once been the composer's closest friend but who had shunned his acquaintance. The concert ends with Symphony No 1, the work that builds on the foundations of Beethoven while allowing Brahms' distinct symphonic voice to emerge.
Brahms: Academic Festival Overture
Brahms: Concerto in A minor for violin, cello and orchestra

Helen Neeves (soprano)
Jamie W Hall (baritone)
Charles Owen and Katya Apekisheva (pianos)

David Hill (conductor)
Johannes Brahms' German Requiem has often been described as a requiem for the living, rather than a liturgy for the dead. In tonight's concert for Radio 3's week of live Brahms performances from Bristol, the BBC Singers perform the work in the version accompanied by piano duet - a transcription which, through its gentle intimacy, sheds new light on a much-loved choral masterwork. Alongside it, a tiny sacred song which is an intricate gem of musical ingenuity, and the famous set of variations on a theme by Haydn - sometimes known as the 'St Anthony' variations - played in Brahms' adaptation of the work for two pianos.

|Public Brahms, Private Brahms
Five Essays about the 19th-century German composer Johannes Brahms. Part 1 of 5.
Recorded in front of an audience at St. Georges, Bristol, as part of BBC Radio 3's Brahms Experience - a week-long exploration of Brahms' life and music.
To this day Brahms has a reputation as a rather terse, fearsome personality who wrote dark, serious music. But his tender, intimate chamber music gives a clue to how he behaved behind closed doors and among friends.
Pianist and writer Natasha Loges looks at what lies behind Brahms' famously gruff public persona, and discovers his tender, private side. She offers an invitation into Brahms' inner circle: music making at home, coffee and conversation with friends, the food he enjoyed, and the women he flirted with.
Producer: Melvin Rickarby.
|Brahms And Nature
Five Essays about the 19th century German composer Johannes Brahms. Part 2 of 5.
Recorded in front of an audience at St. Georges, Bristol, as part of BBC Radio 3's Brahms Experience - a week long exploration of Brahms' life and music.
Interaction with nature is one of the cornerstones of 19th century Romantic music. Writer Lesley Chamberlain offers a chance to join Brahms for a creative ramble and sets his work in the climate of German ideas about nature.
In the German Romantic tradition Nature is Art's rival and the artist's consolation. Brahms's love of nature, which came to him in hours of shared and solitary walking, intensified the demands he made on himself as a composer.
Producer: Melvin Rickarby.
|Brahms And Germany
Five Essays about the 19th-century German composer Johannes Brahms. Part 3 of 5.
Recorded in front of an audience at St. Georges, Bristol, as part of BBC Radio 3's Brahms Experience - a week-long exploration of Brahms' life and music.
Brahms lived in a time of great political change. In his late thirties he saw the birth of a unified German nation under the 'Iron Chancellor' Otto von Bismarck. The question of what this Germany was to be became one of the great issues of the day.
Writer and pianist Natasha Loges explores the nationalist elements of Brahms' music. She examines his famous feud with the more openly patriotic Richard Wagner, and the ways in which Brahms' 'German' image was manipulated in the next century by the Nazis.
Producer: Melvin Rickarby.
|Brahms And Freud
Five Essays about the 19th-century German composer Johannes Brahms. Part 4 of 5.
Recorded in front of an audience at St. Georges, Bristol, as part of BBC Radio 3's Brahms Experience - a week-long exploration of Brahms' life and music.
Brahms and and Freud co-existed in Vienna, as psychoanalysis was being born. But they belong to two vastly different epochs: what can we learn by setting them side by side?
Often at a loss for words, frequently gruff and spiky, Brahms was a man with complex personal traits. Devastated by his parents' disintegrating marriage, he found relationships exceptionally difficult.
A question Freud once asked of us all might help us understand the hidden personality of Johannes Brahms: what is the sublimation of sexual desire, and how much unfulfilled libido can we bear?
Writer Lesley Chamberlain takes us back to the Vienna of the 1890s, where Brahms was composing his late masterpieces and Freud was carrying out his groundbreaking early work.
Producer: Melvin Rickarby.
|Brahms And The Future
Five Essays about the 19th-century German composer Johannes Brahms. Part 5 of 5.
Recorded in front of an audience at St. Georges, Bristol, as part of BBC Radio 3's Brahms Experience - a week-long exploration of Brahms' life and music.
Brahms lived in a time of tremendous change. The idea of the 'future' was never far from peoples' minds: new technology was emerging, the political map of Europe redrawn, and long-cherished ideas of art and culture overturned.
But how did Brahms, a composer who mined the music of the past for inspiration, fit in with a world where progress was king?
Pianist and writer Natasha Loges looks at Brahms' views on the future: recording technology, piano design - and his own place in the future of music.
Producer: Melvin Rickarby.

The Research Data Alliance emerged from simultaneous activity at both the governmental funding level and at the grassroots level. The DataWeb Forum, commenced in 2011, defines the role of international funding agencies in a body like RDA; its genesis and original vision, purpose and governance are described in the DWF Concept Document. Grassroots efforts include the Data Access Interoperability Task Force (DAITF) which also commenced in 2011, with one meeting at Lyon in September 2011 and another prior to the International Conference on Research Infrastructures (ICRI 2012) meeting in Copenhagen in March 2012. The Data Consortium strove for interoperability and common vision across the large DataNet/INTEROP projects in the US.

i used to find free indicators to try out here in the past but now i am not able to locate the free indicator or EA sections anymore. is it just me? also i cannot locate an indicator i know the name of here for MT4.
there seem to be loads of indicators here but they are not in alphabetical order. that is a real significant problem which needs to be fixed. does anyone agree? also i see no search box whatsoever to put the name of the indicator into to do a simple search.
where is a search box to find anything to buy or free? i remember one in the past but cant find it now. i am frustrated by this to say the least. where is it? i do not have a million hours to manually search through 40 pages of indicators for just one that should take a
second to find. this is totally driving me nuts. there should be a free indicator and free EA section which i cant locate. there should be all alphabetical listing of all databases listed here which i dont see anywhere.
there should at least be a dummy search box which i dont see anywhere. I cant find anything i want as a result.. am I overlooking anything here? is anyone else extremely annoyed by this total lack of database organization and search function??
how can anyone buy anything they want if they cant find it??? how can anyone find any data they need without any search functions or alphabetical organization? lets organize this website alphabetically for
those who want to look through everything and add search functions for everyone else so atleast someone can find something they might need or want here.

Hann and Rudin have provided a comprehensive and thoughtful review of the current management of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). As they note, for approaching 2 decades, little has changed in the pretreatment evaluation, staging, or treatment of this disease. As a result, only modest improvements in survival have been seen. During this time, however, a considerable understanding of the biology of this malignancy has emerged, and this knowledge should soon translate into improved therapies for patients with SCLC.
One of the treatment advances discussed in the review is the definitive demonstration by Turrisi et al that radiation to 45 Gy (given concurrently with cisplatin and etoposide) administered in 1.5-Gy fractions twice daily significantly improved survival in patients with limited-stage disease, compared with the prior standard of 1.8-Gy fractions daily for 5 weeks. The authors did not mention that physicians and patients have failed to embrace this regimen due to the practical issues associated with the administration of twice-daily radiation. As a result, several current studies are evaluating whether a radiobiologically similar dose administered in once-daily fractions is safe and effective for patients with limited-stage disease.
In their overview of treatment for extensive-stage disease, the authors point out that a number of chemotherapy agents (pemetrexed [Alimta], irinotecan [Camptosar], topotecan [Hycamtin]) have been evaluated in combination with platinum in recent years as first-line therapy for extensive-stage disease. Despite initial indications that these regimens might be shown to be superior to the current standard of etoposide and a platinum analog (PE), all three failed to demonstrate superiority to PE in phase III randomized trials.
As Hann and Rudin then discuss, the one chemotherapy agent currently under evaluation that still appears to hold promise is the synthetic anthracycline amrubicin. Amrubicin has shown significant activity in the second-line setting in both chemosensitive and chemorefractory populations. Currently, a randomized, phase III trial comparing cisplatin/amrubicin with PE as first-line therapy in extensive-stage disease is underway in China (NCT00660504), and in the second-line setting, amrubicin is being evaluated against parenteral topotecan in another phase III trial (NCT00547651).
Somewhat ironically, despite the long-established relative chemosensitivity of SCLC, the only significant advance in the treatment of extensive-stage disease in recent years can be attributed to radiation rather than chemotherapy. The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) demonstrated in a phase III randomized trial that prophylactic cranial irradiation in extensive-stage SCLC patients whose tumors have responded to first-line therapy more than doubles survival at 1 year from randomization (13% vs 27%).
Current research seeks to exploit the ever-increasing understanding of the molecular pathways involved in SCLC. As Rudin and Hann touch on in their review, approaches targeting angiogenesis showed initial promise in this disease. However, thus far, trials combining standard chemotherapy with agents such as bevacizumab (Avastin) and thalidomide (Thalomid) did not demonstrate clear progress over standard treatment. In addition, therapies targeting the c-Kit tyrosine kinase and the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 also failed to demonstrate significant activity.
One additional area that deserves mention is the possible identification of the tumor stem cell population in SCLC. Several studies have suggested the presence of a subpopulation of cells (tumor stem cells) in solid tumors that are able to regenerate and propagate the tumor. Recently, Gutova and colleagues identified a rare population of cells in SCLC cell lines that were urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR)-positive and possessed clonigenic activity and marked resistance to chemotherapy when compared with the uPAR-negative population that was chemosensitive and did not posses clonigenic activity.[1] Further study is required to demonstrate whether this uPAR-positive group of cells may be the putative stem cell population for SCLC.
In addition, the hedgehog pathway (an embryonic signaling pathway) has been shown to be activated in airway epithelium in response to injury, and this is thought to lead to malignant change by repeatedly expanding the airway stem cell pool. The cells within SCLC tumors in vivo that are involved in hedgehog signaling are compartmentalized and appear to recapitulate the process seen in airway development and injury repair. It has therefore been speculated that these cells are maintained as tumor stem cells through ongoing hedgehog signaling.[2,3] Treatment of SCLC cell lines and xenografts with cyclopamine (a specific hedgehog pathway inhibitor) produces tumor growth arrest in both models.[4] Currently, GDC-0449, an orally bioavailable synthetic inhibitor of the hedgehog pathway is in phase I and II studies in patients with solid tumors, including SCLC.
Finally, increasing evidence suggests that cancer stem cells are controlled by an epigenetic program and that treatment with epigenetic-targeted agents may convert the cancer stem cells to progenitors with less malignant behavior.[5,6] The outcome of these and future studies will determine whether targeting these cell populations will prove to be a successful therapeutic approach in SCLC.

Is Syria a rogue state? How important is it to the fates of Iraq, Iran, Israel, and Lebanon? Based on unique and extraordinary access to Syria's President Bashar al-Asad, his circle, and his family, this book tells Syria's inside story. David W. Lesch presents the essential account of this country and its enigmatic leader at a critical juncture in the history of the Middle East.Syria has been called the crossroads of civilization for millennia. Lately, however, it is a nation more in the crosshairs than the crossroads. From the U.S. perspective, Syria is on the wrong side of history with respect to Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, the global war on terrorism, and the growth of democracy in the Middle East. Bashar al-Asad assumed the presidency in 2000 after the long reign of his father, Hafiz al-Asad, and soon encountered momentous regional and international events. Bashar's efforts to integrate his country into this changing environment without being coerced have met with some success and some failure. The fate of Syria, very much tied to its young ophthalmologist-turned-president, will profoundly affect what type of Middle East emerges in the near future.
