One of my cousins on my dad's side has B/G twins and the boy is a Junior, while the girl has a non-family name. I was so disappointed when my aunt told me their names because I remember thinking that the boy's name was so boring and the girl's was so random! hahaha
On my mom's side of the family we have the tradition where the first daughter is named after her maternal grandmother, so it's been a rotation of Margarets and Ediths for many, many generations. My mom threatened to break the cycle but eventually caved, and we'll just have to wait and see if I continue it with a potential daughter, but I don't think I would ever name a daughter after myself.
June 19th, 2013 08:08 AM #18
OP, my grandparents did the same as yours. My mom grew up thinking her double barreled name ____-Ann was the female version of junior. It did lead to a lot of confusion in their house and the baby of the family always felt left out for not being named after mom or dad.若兰

I don't like it for either gender- though it shouldn't be okay for guys, but not for girls. I think it's pretty unoriginal. That being said, I come from a huge line of male juniors. My grandpa was named Frederick, and called Fred (after his father, Alfred), then there was his first son named Frederick Jr. My great-grandfather on my dad's side was Joseph, and he named his son Joseph. My grandfather was named Roger, and both my dad and brother are named Roger too (but their middles are different.) Lots of shared names.
It's fine to honor family, but I think it's better done in a unique way. Or subtly.-Athena

I dislike juniors on both boys and girls, so I wouldn't name a daughter after myself. I think it's a bit odd personally. My father and I share an initial, and growing up if a letter came addressed to "J. Surname" we wouldn't know which one of us it was for. Not so much of a problem when I was a child who wasn't getting any important mail, but when I moved back home after university as an adult it was sometimes irritating. Consequently I've made it a personal rule to not use same initial as anyone else in the immediate household if I ever have children.
Even if I did want to honour a family member I would try and choose a different derivative, or use their name as a middle name. If you have a brand new baby, why not give it a brand new (to your family) name?Girls: Alice, Anna, Astrid, Beatrice, Clara, Elodie, Emily, Evelyn, Hannah, Hermione, Lorna, Phoebe, Sophie, Sylvia

My g-grandmother adored her father, so gave her son the same first name and 'Junior' as a middle name. It still confuses everyone.

HUGE CLEARANCE SALE SAVINGS - Hull #019 ONLY! SAVE $59,000!!
The All-New Lagoon 39 marks the next generation for Lagoon Catamarans! With a significant change to the rig and sail plan moving aft, the all-new Lagoon 39 features a tall high aspect ration rig with full battened square top mainsail and self tacking headsail. Marry this to the all-new Code 0 sail with big overlap and ability to drive up to 65+/- degrees and you have one fantastic performning modern cruising cat!
Interior features the compression post aft at the galley which opens the forward windows for a panoramic view with opening ports embedded in the window wrap. Huge open salon with settee and fwd nav center for easy inside steering and wathces. Big galley with lots of storage and indoor/ outdoor open access to cockpit. Owner hull features a master king berth aft, sette, storage lockers, hanging lockes, and huge head forward with complete seprate shower. Guest hull has 2 nice sized cabins and a second head with shower.
The Lagoon 39 is an evolution in design with the new Lagoon generation it is apparent on first sight the stylish new "visor" look with all black wrap around windows and a look of forward mottion and "thrust" even sitting at the dock. Hull features vertical bevelled bows, a bevelled deck off the hull and a chine on each of the outboard aft hulls. Same patenetned gull wing underbody makes for less deck slap and a movement of water away from the craft.
The decision to locate the mast further to aft directly comes from the designers' racing experience and has many advantages on a cruising catamaran:

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma News
|Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
1. Indolent lymphomas
The standard management of low-grade NHL is controversial and ranges from the ?watch and wait? approach pioneered at Stanford University to the use of combination regimens containing anthracycline, such as FND (fludarabine [Fludara], Novantrone [mitoxantrone], dexamethasone).
Stage IA-IIA
1. Radiation therapy
The treatment of choice is irradiation alone to the entire involved lymphoid region, as defined by the Rai and Ann Arbor staging classifications, or the involved region plus one additional uninvolved region on each side of the involved nodes.
The recommended dose is 30 Gy for nonbulky disease showing prompt regression, with 36 Gy delivered for bulky or slowly regressive disease.
60% relapse-free rates at 10 years (70% for stage IA vs 30% for stage IIA).
Extended field irradiation
As the majority of relapses occur outside the radiation fields, often in adjacent or distal lymph nodes, extended-field or total lymphoid irradiation has been used to try to improve cure rates. Clinical series have shown improvement in freedom from relapse only, with no significant difference in long-term survival.
2. Adjuvant chemotherapy
The issue of whether adjuvant chemotherapy improves the prognosis of patients with early-stage low-grade NHL remains unresolved.
Some have advocated adjuvant chemotherapy to selected patients with stage II disease with unfavorable prognostic factors, such as systemic symptoms or more than two (or discontiguous) nodal sites, and to those with follicular grade 2 histology.
Stage III/IV
Younger patients
- Median disease-free survival is almost always between 1.5 and 3 years, and median overall survival ranges from 5 to 7 years.
- 25% relapse free survival at 4years.
Single-agent chemotherapy
(chlorambucil [Leukeran] (daily dose, 0.1-0.2 mg/kg) or cyclophosphamide (1.5-2.5 mg/kg) with or without prednisone. Oral pulse chlorambucil (16 mg/m2 for 5 days at 3- week intervals) usually results in a faster antitumor response than daily single agent alkylator therapy.
60% complete remission rate, 25% Relapse free survival at 4years.
(cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone).
cyclophosphamide + vincristine + procarbazine + prednisone.
cyclophosphamide + doxorubicin + vincristine + prednisone.
More intensive combination, CHOP-B (bleomycin [Blenoxane]) , is reported not to have any advantage vs single-agent cyclophosphamide.
Purine analogs
The purine analogs, such as fludarabine and cladribine (2- CdA [Leustatin]), have significant antitumor activity in low-grade NHL and are being studied in combination regimens.
FND: fludarabine + mitoxantrone ? dexamethasone.
Rituximab (Rituxan)
Rituximab (Rituxan), either alone or combined with these agents (eg, CVP or CHOP), is being investigated.
Radiolabelled antibodies
Radiolabelled antibodies ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) and tositumomab/iodine-131 have shown encouraging results.
The use of interferon (IFN)-alfa (Intron A, Roferon-A) concomitantly with or as an adjuvant to conventional chemotherapy in follicular lymphoma appears to prolong disease-free survival, but its impact on overall survival and curability is controversial.
For select patients, allogeneic stem-cell transplantation should be considered as a potentially curative approach.
Irradiation therapy here is used locally for palliation of symptomatic sites of disease and is extremely effective.
Total-body irradiation is used as part of preparative regimens for BMT and has produced up to 80% CRR, 25% Relapse free survival at 5yrs.
Older patients
Older patients with asymptomatic, indolent NHL are often observed closely without any initial therapy. The decision to use any of the standard or newer modalities should be individualized, based on the presence of poor prognostic features and the patient?s tolerance to planned therapy.
Special types of indolent lymphoma
MALT marginal zone lymphoma
- Combination therapy (eg, omeprazole [Prilosec], metronidazole, and amoxicillin) directed at the infection results in the regression of most early lesions. Tumors invading beyond the submucosa and lesions with t(11;18) or bcl-10 overexpression are associated with a failure to respond to H pylori eradication.
- Localized MALT marginal zone gastric lymphoma that does not respond to antibiotics may be cured with local irradiation, consisting of 30 Gy in 1.5-Gy daily fractions directed to the stomach and perigastric lymph nodes. This treatment is safe, extremely effective, and allows gastric preservation. Benefits: a single-institution experience reported a 96% complete response and 90% freedom-from- treatment failure at a median follow-up of 4 years.
- If local irradiation fails, chemotherapy or rituximab can be used and, in some instances, surgery.
Relapsed low grade lymphoma
In general, treatment with standard agents rarely produces a cure in patients whose disease has relapsed.
Favorable survival after relapse has been associated with:
- Age younger than 60 years
- Complete remission rather than partial remission
- Duration of response longer than 1 year
Even the most favorable subset, however, has a 10-fold greater mortality compared with age-adjusted US population rates.
Long-term freedom from second relapse, however, is uncommon and multiple relapses will usually occur.
Bone marrow transplantation
Bone marrow transplantation is still under evaluation but should be considered in the context of a clinical trial. This is usually preceded by 2 cycles of CHOP, however, preparative drug regimens have varied; some investigators also use total-body irradiation.
The 5-year progression-free survival was 65% for transplantation (versus 33% for interferon) (P<.0001), but with no difference in overall survival (German Low-Grade Lymphoma Study Group).
Alkylating agents
For relapse that remains low grade, chemotherapy with single alkylating agents (often given orally) or with combinations such as cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone is often used.
Significant activity for fludarabine and 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine has been demonstrated in relapsed low-grade lymphomas, both as single agents and in combination with other drugs.
Rituximab results in a 40% to 50% response rate in patients who relapse with indolent B-cell lymphomas. Rituximab can also be combined with combination chemotherapy.
Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies
Durable responses to radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium-90 ibritumomab (commercially available) and iodine-131 tositumomab, have also been reported; subsequent chemotherapy regimens can be delivered at the time of relapse following radioimmunotherapy.
- In a randomized study, patients with refractory low-grade (follicular or small lymphocytic lymphoma) received either rituximab or ibritumomab tiuxetan. The response rate for ibritumomab tiuxetan was 80% and complete response (confirmed and unconfirmed) was seen in 34% of patients, whereas for rituximab, it was 56% and 20%.
Histological conversion
Histologic transformation of low-grade NHL to a more aggressive histology is well recognized, occurring in 30%-70% of patients during the course of their. Indolent lymphomas may relapse with an aggressive histology (i.e., histologic conversion). Sometimes, an aggressive lymphoma may relapse as a small cell (indolent) lymphoma. Such a situation occurs with indolent lymphoma in the bone marrow and with aggressive lymphoma in a nodal site. Patients may present in such a manner, and chemotherapy might successfully eradicate the peripheral disease while failing to eliminate the small cell component from the bone marrow. The clinical significance and natural history of this pattern of disease are not well defined. Progression to DLBC lymphoma at 5% per year.
Histologic conversions should be treated with the regimens described in the aggressive, recurrent adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The durability of the second remission may be short, and clinical trials, such as bone marrow transplantation, should be considered.
2. Intermediate to high grade lymphoma
Stage I/IIA nonbulky (limited stage)
Prior to the 1970s, most patients with stage I/II large cell lymphoma (intermediate grade in the Working Formulation) were treated with irradiation alone, with overall cure rates of 40%-50%. Patients with pathologically favorable stage I/II disease had even better outcomes, but relapse rates, even in these patients, were still 20%-30%. Pathologic staging, therefore, selected a group suitable for irradiation alone.
Combined-modality therapy
Combined-modality therapy includes 3 cycles of CHOP in addition to irradiation.
- Combined-modality therapy (3 cycles of CHOP and irradiation) produced a disease progression-free survival at 5 years of 77% vs 64% for 8 cycles of CHOP alone (P = .03).
- Overall survival at 5 years was 82% vs 72%, respectively (P = .02) (The SWOG study)
Stage I/IIA bulky
Chemotherapy + adjuvant radiotherapy
For patients with bulky disease, a minimum of six cycles of CHOP is typically administered. Irradiation doses of 30-35 Gy, delivered in 1.75-3.0 Gy over 3-4 weeks after completion of systemic therapy, appear to be adequate.
Stage III/IV disease
The following recommended treatment strategies should be adjusted according to the level of risk, as defined by the prognostic factors validated by the IPI:
1. Age ≤ 60 years at low or intermediate risk (IPI)
Younger patients at low or intermediate risk (ie, normal LDH level and ambulatory performance status) have 5-year survival rates > 50%. They should be treated with six to eight cycles of a standard doxorubicin-containing regimen, such as CHOP.
1. CHOP + rituximab
The addition of rituximab to CHOP has become routine in the United States and is also being employed with combined-modality therapy.
- Complete response (76% vs 63%, P = .005), event-free survival of 53% vs 35% (P = .00008) and overall survival of 62% vs 51% (P = .008), with median follow-up of 3.1 years.
The classic regimen is CHOP. Newer regimens, such as m-BACOD (methotrexate, bleomycin, Adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, Oncovin, and dexamethasone; Dana-Farber Cancer Center), ProMACE-CytaBOM (prednisone, methotrexate, Adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, cytarabine, bleomycin, and Oncovin; National Cancer Institute [NCI]), and MACOP-B (methotrexate, Adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, Oncovin, prednisone, and bleomycin; Vancouver). Randomized comparisons have failed to show an advantage of the third-generation regimens over CHOP.
- Early SWOG studies with CHOP reported complete response rates of 50%-55%, with 30%-35% long-term disease-free survival. Moreover, the newer regimens were more toxic and expensive.
A recently reported investigation suggests an advantage with the addition of etoposide to the CHOP regimen (CHOEP) given every 2 or 3 weeks.
3. Bone marrow transplantation
Bone marrow transplantation can be used in the setting of a clinical trial. Several randomized prospective trials evaluated the role of autologous bone marrow or stem cell transplantation consolidation versus chemotherapy alone in patients in first remission with diffuse large cell lymphoma. Although most of these trials demonstrated significant increases in EFS (by 10% to 20%) among patients who received high-dose therapy, significant differences in OS could not be demonstrated prospectively in any of the series.
2. Age ≤ 60 years at high intermediate or high risk
The 5-year survival rate in younger patients deemed at high intermediate or high risk (high LDH level and/or nonambulatory performance status) is < 50%. Since the clinical features that correlate with relapse are also associated with a decreased likelihood of achieving an initial remission, these patients should be offered participation in clinical trials of dose-intensive treatment strategies aimed at improving the rates and durability of complete responses.
3. Age > 60 years
All patients older than age 60 should undergo evaluation of cardiac, pulmonary, and renal function and coexistent illness, which may complicate therapy.
Most older patients with advanced-stage aggressive NHL have 5-year survival rates < 50% as a result of decreased initial response, poor tolerance to therapy, and the need for dose reduction because of age. Approaches to elderly patients should include interventions aimed at preserving or increasing dose intensity and improving tolerance of therapy with the use of cytokines and infusional chemotherapy.
Patients with compromised cardiac function require individualized approaches, such as the use of a regimen that does not contain an anthracycline (eg, CVP, C [cyclophosphamide]-MOPP, or CEPP [cyclophosphamide, etoposide, procarbazine, and prednisone]); a reduction in total anthracycline dose (eg, by alternating CHOP with C-MOPP or CEPP); or the administration of doxorubicin by continuous infusion. Similarly, bleomycin should not be used in patients with compromised pulmonary function.
Irradiation may be added if there is localized residual disease after
chemotherapy completion to improve local control. Irradiation can also be
delivered to prechemotherapy areas of bulky disease, again to enhance local
control. These recommendations are based on the observation that when DLBCL
relapses after definitive chemotherapy, it usually does so in initially
involved or bulky areas of disease.
Special types of aggressive disease
Disease site or potential toxicities may influence the treatment plan:
In younger patients, a brief period of chemotherapy (3-4 cycles of CHOP) followed by local irradiation may be used to prevent sterility in men and early menopause in women.
Lymphomas of the head and neck: chemotherapy alone to avoid the acute mucositis and long-term xerostomia associated with radiation therapy fields.
Gastric or small intestinal lymphoma at high risk of perforation or life-threatening hemorrhage may require surgical resection. Alternatively, chemotherapy followed by local irradiation may allow gastric preservation in some patients. Fully resected gastric or small intestinal lymphoma should be followed by chemotherapy.
Primary brain lymphomas continue to be problematic. At present, the recommended approach is chemotherapy, high-dose methotrexate ? other drugs that penetrate the CNS (i.e. cytarabine [Ara-C], procarbazine, vincristine, thiotepa [Thioplex], temozolomide [Temodar]), in conjunction with radiation therapy. Optimal dose and scheduling of radiation therapy remain to be determined (long-term neurotoxicity may be excessive in older populations).
Testicular lymphoma: orchiectomy followed by combination chemotherapy with an anthracycline-containing regimen has improved the results of therapy for primary testicular lymphoma. Because of the increased risk of recurrence in the CNS and opposite testis, intrathecal chemotherapy (though controversial because relapse is primarly CNS parenchymal disease) and irradiation to the contralateral testis are recommended.
Relapsed high grade lymphoma
Bone marrow transplantation
Bone marrow transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients whose lymphoma has relapsed. Preparative drug regimens have varied; some investigators also use total-body irradiation. Similar success has been achieved using autologous marrow, with or without marrow purging, and allogeneic marrow.
Preliminary studies indicate that approximately 20% to 40% of patients will have a long-term disease-free status, but the precise percentage depends on patient selection and the specific treatment used.
Event-free survival was significantly improved with transplantation vs. chemotherapy and involved field radiation (46% vs. 12%). Overall survival was also significantly better with transplantation (53% vs. 32%). Salvage bone marrow transplantation was unsuccessful for patients on the nontransplant arm whose disease relapsed (PARMA trial).
In general, retreatment with standard agents rarely produces a cure in patients whose lymphomas relapse. Patients who relapse with aggressive lymphoma after 3 years in remission have similar prognoses to de novo lymphoma using curative therapy. Several salvage chemotherapy regimens are available.
- MINE: 70% response rate, 50% complete remission rate, median survival of 2yrs
- ESHAP: 60% response rate, median survival of 1.8yrs
- DHAP: 55% response rate, 25% survival at 2yrs (In patients who have relapsed after more than 1yr, the response rate is 70% vs 40%)
Rituximab can induce responses in 33% of patients with relapsing aggressive lymphoma of appropriate phenotype (CD20-positive).
Radiolabeled anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, such as iodine-131 tositumomab and yttrium-90 ibritumomab, induce 60% to 80% response rates in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma.
Denileukin difitox, a fusion protein combining diptheria toxin and interleukin-2, resulted in a 25% objective response rate in 45 heavily pretreated patients with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (CD25, i.e., interleukin-2 receptor, expression was not correlated with response).
AIDS related lymphoma
Outside the context of a clinical trial, low-dose chemotherapy should be considered for most patients with HIV infection and a CD4 lymphocyte count under 200. Although m-BACOD was used in the randomized trial, many clinicians now employ half-dose cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP).
Prognosis and survival
Indolent lymphomas usually have a long overall survival (8-12 years). Median disease-free survival is almost always between 1.5 and 3 years, and median overall survival ranges from 5 to 7 years. Patients with stage III disease have a better prognosis than patients with stage IV disease. Overall, 75% of patients with stage III disease can be expected to survive 5 years.

veni ad docendum nos viam prudentiae.

you extend to the ends of the earth, and order all things with power and sweetness (Wisdom 8:1):
come and teach us the way of wisdom (Proverbs 9:6).
II – December 18
O ADONAI, dux domus Israel,
qui Moysi in igne flammae rubi apparuisti, et in Sina legem dedisti:
veni ad redimendum nos in brachio extenso.
O Lord (Exodus 6:2, Vulgate), leader of the house of Israel,

hope and salvation of the peoples (Genesis 49:10; John 4:42):
come to save us, O Lord our God (Isaiah 37:20).

My Nonprofit Reviews
Elida O.
Review for Stepping Stones Foundation of Hope, Schaumburg, IL, USA
I have been blessed to have met Fr. Dennis when he was still a seminarian and he came to our small church St. Patrick's in East Chicago, IN. He has always show such compassion for people. From sitting in a class room with children learning how to play a guitar to giving an insperational sermon. I especially enjoyed listening to Fr. Dennis when he spoke about the children/orphans he helped. With the Steppin Stones foundation he is able to help even more people. This foundation is not only helping children, it also helps whole communities. By bringing clean drinking water to these villages by provinging wells. Having clean drinking water makes it possible for children to attend school instead of walking miles to bring water to their homes. Stepping Stones Foundation is providing a much needed assistance to these children and villages. Education and clean drinking water are two simple things that we take for granted. I want to thank Fr. Dennis and all his volunteers for helping us open our eyes to the need of others not just our own.

KELOWNA - Police were kept busy Tuesday night as the city was welcoming the new year, but with all the hub-bub, there was only one serious incident.
In the city of Kelowna, police investigated 88 complaints and of that, 16 people wound up in cells with 14 released when sober and two remaining, in breach of court orders. One man was assaulted on Leon Avenue.
Mounties say Big White Resort welcomed a well behaved crowd overall, and the two males arrested for intoxication have been released.
The West Kelowna detachment investigated eight non-serious complaints.

"Give Me" Vs "Let Me"
"That's a fascinating microcosm of, and window into, broader political dynamics. When an initiative in this country is framed or understood largely as an attempt by a given constituency to get more, the opposition to it is frequently bolstered, the resistance strengthened. Even if the constituency is trying to right a wrong or rectify a disadvantage, 'Give me' can be a risky approach. 'Let me' is often a better one, and when voters hear gays and lesbians asking to participate in a hallowed institution for the most personal and heartfelt of reasons, voters may have a more positive reaction." - Frank Bruni, writing about an analysis of Washington state's voters.

Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for yellow gold emerald-cut blue sapphire antique-inspired engagement rings is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. A gift of a sapphire is a pledge of trust and loyalty. This tradition makes sapphire engagement rings a perfect symbol of the promise to marry. Sapphire is the September birthstone, the 5th and 45th anniversary gem, and the zodiac gem for Virgo. Emerald cuts have an icy elegance unlike any other gemstone shape for women who crave the unique. Classic 14 karat yellow gold is both beautiful and durable. Gemvara also offers every design in rich 18-karat yellow gold, which has a more buttery color and is 75 percent pure for long-lasting value. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by Ji Hwang, Damon Washington, Carl Ansley, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. Love the look of antiques but have a love for the sparkle of modern gems? Our antique inspired styles have the delicacy and craftsmanship of the past but are made to fit you perfectly with the gem of your choice. Clean yellow gold emerald-cut blue sapphire antique-inspired engagement rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality yellow gold emerald-cut blue sapphire antique-inspired engagement rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

>Racing>New German test for steroids.
Reuters (the news agency) reported on Nov. 19th that German researchers had developed and successfully used a new test procedure capable of detecting smaller amounts of steroids and for a longer time after use, and that this test is being used to retest frozen samples taken from athletes at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin.
This development seems to have potential to make cheating less attractive in various competitive individual and team sports where it has been a problem. This would include track and field, swimming, cycling and team sports such as baseball and football, among others.
As a fan of clean sport I would like to learn more about this new test, how it works, and what the limitations may be.
Unfortunately I have zero knowledge of pharmacy or biology, but have tried to become better informed by reading. I am hoping people who know more about this subject will provide more information.
What I (think) I know so far:
1) Steroids are a broad class of drugs usually having both anabolic and androgenic effects in various proportions. Anabolic refers to cellular level effects such as stimulating production of red blood cells or improving bone density, while androgenic effects are those which promote masculine characteristics such as increased muscle mass.
2) Testing for steroids is done by urinalysis, the presence of certain metabolites revealing use of steroids. How long these metabolites remain in the urine depends on the type of steroid used and the dosage. Older products like dianobol may show traces for a period of months after use has been discontinued, newer products like clenbuterol will clear in a few days.
Masking agents in the form of diuretics can be used to mask or hide the presence of the metabolites.
3)The test most commonly used seems to be a "carbon isotope ratio" test which apparently indicates positive by showing "four rings". Whether this is a chromatography test or how it works I do not know. How the new test differs I do not know.
4) The testing currently being done using this new protocol is apparently funded by NADA, the German anti-doping agency, at the request of the International Olympic Committee and with the support of WADA (World Anti Doping Agency.)It is focused mainly on frozen samples from the 2006 Torino Olympics, but as many as 3,500 tests may have been done and anywhere from 100 to 266 positives have been reported by different sources.
5)The substances reported as detected so far seem to be very early (and perhaps primitive) products, Stanazolol which was most famously used by Ben Johnson at Seoul, and Oral Turinabol, apparently used in the 1970's by the East Germans. Why would these steroids still be in use-or is it a limitation of the new test that newer substances still cannot be detected?
6) The test seems to detect only steroids, not EPO, HGH, SARMS, blood doping, masking agents or stimulants. Presumably most users would not be endurance athletes?
Finally, does this new test have the potential to catch or clear athletes around whom suspicion and cotroversy have swirled, such as Ye Shiwen the young Chinese swimmer whose last lap in the 400m Individual Medley was faster than Ryan Lochte's, or Chris Froome, who set record times on climbs (Galibier? Mont Ventoux? I forget.)
I welcome any further information or corrections to what I have written. Thanks!
PBs since age 60: 5k- 24:36, 10k - 47:17. Half Marathon- 1:42:41.
10 miles (unofficial) 1:16:44.
As a fan of clean sport
I'm afraid I've given up on clean professional sports. I like the NFL as much as the next guy, but looking at their builds, their quick recovery from week to week, etc. and I'd be surprised if there were a lot of "clean" players.
Similarly with track and field, I doubt there are a lot of clean, elite athletes. Sorry to be a cynic, but I think the testing agencies will always lag behind.

Massive rear wing? Gold wheels? World Rally Blue paint? This can only be one thing - the new Subaru WRX STi.
Leaked images of the Japanese brand's high performance sedan have surfaced online ahead of the car's debut at the 2014 Detroit motor show next week.
No official details have been released by Subaru about the new flagship sedan, but rumour has it the new model will be powered by either a pumped up version of the 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder "boxer" engine in the standard WRX, or a 2.5-litre four-cylinder turbo - as was the case in the existing STi.
What's certain is that it will produce more power than the standard car, with 227kW or more expected from the racy new model.
Other changes over the standard WRX will likely include a greater use of lightweight materials, improved aerodynamics from its sharp body kit, revised suspension and lightweight wheels with grippier tyres.
Drive has been told that the new STi model will arrive in Australia in April or May, shortly after the regular WRX arrives (March).


text: Unfortunately, I don't think there's currently any way to detect this. Ordinarily, all output is buffered and sent at once at the end of the transaction. If you call self.response().flush(), it will attempt to immediately send all response that has been generated up to that point. That would be a logical place for WebKit to try to detect the closed client socket and perhaps raise an exception to end the response. But I'm pretty sure it doesn't in fact raise this exception; instead, it just silently throws away the rest of the response. You could try testing this; I might be wrong... If you feel like trying to fix this, it might not be all that hard but will definitely require mucking around in the WebKit internals. - Geoff > -----Original Message----- > From: Brett Funderburg [mailto:brettf@...] > Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 5:33 PM > To: webware-discuss@... > Subject: [Webware-discuss] detecting if client is still around > > > Say, for example, a browser client requests a servlet that > performs some > lengthy operation.

Over the weekend, early voters in Los Angeles County "swarmed" the Norwalk office where they could cast their ballots in advance of Election Day, according the chief election official.
Some 3,500 people showed up on Saturday and Sunday at the headquarters of the Los Angeles County Registar-Recoder/County Clerk. One voter told NBC4 she waited in line for more than two hours.
Many of those in line were enthusiastic, however, and Registar-Recoder/County Clerk Dean Logan said the turnout was welcome.
"We are staffed up and ready to serve people and we are excited to have them show up to vote," Logan said.
Those who cast their ballots at Logan's Norwalk headquarters since early voting began in late October have been representative of the county's diverse electorate, he said. Many are busy or unable to find time to get to a polling place Tuesday but still want to physically cast their ballots – and get that precious "I voted" sticker.
"Some people just like that kind of symbolic moment of coming and voting in person," Logan said.
At county clerk offices across Southern California, voters were able to cast ballots early in recent weeks, and voting continued Monday.
Registration ticked up before the election, but was not as high as the rate seen before the 2008 election, officials said.
A significant portion of younger prospective voters between ages 18 and 29 had taken advantage of the state's new online voter registration system, which began in September, Logan said.
In Orange County, voters converged on Santa Ana to cast their early ballots, including Chris McGivern who drove from Laguna Beach, concerned that work and school would keep him from getting to the polls on Tuesday.
There are some 1.7 million registered voters in OC, and nearly half of them requested a vote-by-mail ballot.
"We had about 50 percent of those returned, but I see a big rush at the polling place to drop off last-minute vote-by-mail ballots," OC registrar of voters Neal Kelley said, adding that behavior could be indicative of voters' indecision in a race predicted to be close.
The vote-by-mail ballot already received in Orange County have been opened by machine, separated into precints and put into the system to be counted at 8 p.m. Tuesday, when the polls close. Only the signatured are verified by humans.
Many balloters in Santa Ana on Monday said finding peace of mind drove them to the polls early.
"It's possible that it could be a close race so I wanted to make sure that the candidate I'm supporting has my vote before end of day tomorrow," Judy Asman said.
On Election Day, Orange County voters will see the only electronic voting system in use in Southern California. But just like paper ballots, the E-Slate devices must be driven to the registrar's headquarters to be counted.
Voters can cast their ballots at the following locations on Election Day, or at their polling local place:
- LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Headquarters, 12400 Imperial Hwy., Norwalk
- Orange County Registrar of Voters, 1300 South Grand Ave., Building C, Santa Ana
- Riverside County Registrar of Voters office, 2724 Gateway Drive, Riverside
- San Bernardino County Elections Office, 777 East Rialto Ave., San Bernardino
- Ventura County Elections Division, Hall of Administration, Lower Plaza, 800 South Victoria Ave., Ventura.
It's too late to post mail-in ballots, but they can be dropped off at any polling place in the county where you are registered to vote.

CAIRO - Explosions have struck four subway stations in Cairo early on Wednesday morning, wounding two people and causing widespread panic among morning commuters, Egyptian security officials said.
The blasts took place in stations in central and northern Cairo. They were caused by homemade explosive devices.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks - the first in the Egyptian capital since last month's election of former army chief Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi as the country's new president. (AP)

In a new report, Consumer Reports warns parents that a popular stroller model may pose a safety hazard. The Graco Ready2Grow Classic Connect LX stroller demonstrated brake failure when tested at an incline, which can allow the stroller to roll and put children at risk.
The Graco Classic Connect and similar double strollers are attractive to parents with multiple kids because they allow a variety of configurations. Parents can even attach car seats into the stroller for ease of transport.
Many families use a double stroller to carry a baby and a toddler, so this is the standard way in which strollers are evaluated at Consumer Reports. Researchers load a 35-pound sandbag into one stroller seat (representing a baby) and a 40-pound bag into the other (representing an older baby or toddler).
But when the Classic Connect stroller was placed on a 20-degree incline with the brakes engaged, the brakes released and the stroller rolled away. Later examination showed that the plastic teeth on the brake mechanism were bent. The teeth are supposed to lock the wheels in place when the brakes are engaged, but apparently the plastic is unable to support the weight of the stroller at a steep incline.
John Galeotafiore, head of stroller testing at Consumer Reports, says that they've tested more than 160 strollers and this is the only one they've seen undergoing brake failure.
Graco strongly disagrees with Consumer Reports' findings. They responded by saying that their strollers meet the voluntary industry safety standards, which tests stroller brakes at a 12-degree incline. Graco further notes that no brake-related injuries have been reported for their Connect stroller models.
However, Consumer Reports believes its more rigorous testing gives consumers an extra margin of safety. Besides, beginning in 2015, mandatory federal safety standards will require brake tests that approximate the force of a 20-degree incline. They also noted that many other Graco strollers scored highly on their stroller tests, including the Graco FastAction Fold Duo Click Connect, and the Ready2Grow Click Connect that has two side-by-side seats that each accept a Graco infant car seat.

dave ramsey as a single mom?
I have never done it but heard AMAZING things about it. I think it can't hurt to try, right? I would like to do it someday, with my schedule now it's just not possible but I think you should give it a shot. Good luck and let me know how it goes!
I'm sure it's possible just difficult. But if you put your mind to it you can do just about anything. I'm not following Dave Ramsey per se but I am working towards getting out of debt. I'm slowly getting there. My goal is 10 yrs. To be completely out of debt and that includes over 50K of student loans.
I'm sure it's very possible. I may be tough and you may have to cut out things you really like but in the end, it is better to be out of debt.
I think the first thing would be to figure out all your bills and see where you can cut and then set a budget from there.
i am really thinking of getting rid of or majorly cutting back our Dish Network. I want to reduce my car payment but I don't think that will work right now. I've considered getting a 2nd job but I don't think it would make much difference in the long run with taxes and limited hours I'd be available to work.
I don't see why it wouldn't be doable. Give it a try.
I took the Financial Peace University course a few years back, and have done the budget ever since. The principles are right on. I wasn't in debt, but I also wasn't budgeting and was constantly spending more than I had, and didn't know where my money was going. I think applying his principles is especially important for a single mom. The more difficult your situation, the more important it is to apply them.
I am a single mom. I do get 'some' support, but C/S ends when the kids are of age, so that won't be forever. I am also disabled (working on getting disability). I know that due to my disability, I won't be able to work for too much longer. I am currently taking Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. We're only on the second week.
For me, its not that I am IN debt, it's that I want to prevent that. I want to live TODAY and have a life TOMORROW...
Quoting LifeCafe42:
I'm a single mom with no income other than my own. I own my home have a car and no debt aside from those. I sacrifice we don't eat out and I budget it's possible to be done

Seeing the future: Google Glass and OCT research
ECE News
Eliot Sill, Engineering at Illinois
Story Highlights
- Professor Stephen Boppart and bioengineering graduate student Guillermo Monroy plan to use Google Glass for optical coherence tomography (OCT).
- OCT is similar to ultrasound, but it uses light, instead of sound, to accrue data. Physicians can use OCT imaging to administer ear and eye examinations.
- With its see-through display, Google Glass could provide an interactive monitor for OCT examinations.
Most research work students do at Illinois takes place here on campus. Some of the work they put in, however, happens by an abandoned warehouse on a dock of the San Francisco Bay. That's where bioengineering graduate student Guillermo Monroy traveled to pick up his new Google Glass, which he will put to use for the research he's doing on campus.
Stephen Allen Boppart, won the opportunity to purchase the glasses through a contest held by Google called "If I Had Glass."
Google is crowdsourcing the application design process by selecting 8,000 applicants from the If I Had Glass contest to be "Glass Explorers" and program applications for the device. Entrants were to submit a 50-word application denoted by the hashtag #ifihadglass to Google via the Internet superpower's own social networking site, Google +. The application prompt was simple: What would you do if given the opportunity to use and program an application for Google Glass?
Monroy thought of his research project. Led by Boppart, the Abel Bliss Professor of Engineering, the project focuses on Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging, a developing technology similar to ultrasound, only it uses light, instead of sound, to accrue data that it can turn into an image. Physicians could use OCT imaging alongside an otoscope or ophthalmoscope to administer ear and eye examinations of higher quality.
The images – unlike those of an otoscope, which are seen through the device's lens – need to be displayed on a monitor. One current model has the imaging set up on a computer monitor, and another requires mounting the monitor on the handheld device itself. Monroy thinks Google Glass can be that monitor, which would allow for physicians to stay as focused on the patient as possible.
"Our first version was to have the display on the back of the device," Boppart said. "I still think that's a viable way, but I think the next step beyond that is when people and the physician will be constantly needing to call up information, so having the voice commands to call up charts, call up data, show this, show that, and have that even as the physician is examining the patient. I think that's going to be the next generation."
OCT imaging also has use in treating otitis media, commonly known as ear infections, and Boppart's team would like to see this become the gold standard for ear treatment as well. Chronic otitis media is characterized by the presence of a biofilm on the tympanic membrane and in the middle ear. An otoscope would not be able to detect this biofilm, whereas an OCT scan could. While otoscopy can identify ears that are currently dealing with infection, OCT scanning can identify an ear that is becoming infected, or has been previously infected and is prone to do so again.
"Ear infections are very common in children, and we don't treat them appropriately with antibiotics or surgery because we don't understand them well enough," Boppart said. "We haven't characterized the types of ear infections, and how are they responding to antibiotics, so this has led to antibiotic resistance because physicians just give antibiotics to anybody with an ear infection."
Monroy says designing the application will take between two and six months before the team can use it, and that he can paraphrase coding already used in Google Hangouts, currently a feature of Glass, as a way of transferring the imaging from the OCT scanner to the Glass. "We can use that code, since it's transferring images back and forth, to do the same thing we want to do," Monroy said. "So you'll make a Hangout with the system, and send the images you want the same way."
The research isn't dependent on Glass, so Monroy and Boppart were initially skeptical of traveling to San Francisco, given the conspicuous meeting arrangement and lack of official confirmation that Monroy had won, aside from a congratulatory reply message. Google had Glass pick-ups available at its offices in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, where it briefed Glass Explorers on how to use and program for Glass. Eventually, Monroy found out from other Glass Explorers on the Internet that this was legitimately Google's method of distribution, so he made the trip and picked up the hardware.
Monroy is hopeful that Glass can prove to be an effective monitor for the display of OCT imaging. If it proves ineffective, however, he will still have Google's latest technological toy for all his trouble.
"It's a huge opportunity just to have access to Glass, not even research-wise," Monroy said. "But then to be able to integrate it into something practical is even better because then I'm not just taking pictures of me cooking dinner. I'm trying to help push medicine into the future of what I think it could be."
