Lehigh County - Partisanship foils agenda
Monday, April 30, 2018 by Douglas Graves Special to the Bethlehem Press in Local News
Lehigh County Commissioners had some political moments Wednesday as agenda items were floated, then after sharp questioning by fellow commissioners, sank beneath increasingly turbulent political waters.
A tax rebate proposed by Commission President Marty Nothstein never made it to a vote because it wasn't seconded in the Finance Committee, where it came under bipartisan criticism. The tax rebate resolution was still on the agenda for the regular meeting of the full Board of Commissioners later in the evening but was not addressed because it was not approved by the Finance Committee.
The resolution, as drafted, had the Board of Commissioners "urging" the Lehigh County Executive to submit the 2019 Lehigh County Budget with a real estate rebate of $2.5 million.
A clause in the proposal sought to put some teeth into the request: "If the County Executive opts to submit the 2019 Lehigh County Budget without a tax rebate of at least $2.5 million, the Board of Commissioners will support the necessary amendments to implement a tax rebate."
The assumed two and half million-dollar surplus was "accomplished by a lot of hard work by our county employees and administration and all involved in county government," said Nothstein as he introduced the resolution to the Finance Committee on Wednesday.
"We're not in the business of holding money we don't presently need and does not belong to us," explained Nothstein. He said that the average tax payer would see a refund of $16.25.
"This is money they paid in," said Nothstein. "It's their money; we should give it back to them."
Nothstein's tax rebate idea came under immediate criticism by fellow commissioners on the Finance Committee.
Commissioner Percy Dougherty, the senior Republican on the Board of Commissioners, immediately suggested that if there is a $2.5 million surplus in the 2019 budget, it should be used to buy down the cost of future bond issues expected to be needed for the rehabilitation for the Cedar Brook Nursing home. "I will not be able to support this," said Dr. Dougherty.
Commissioner Geoff Brace (Democrat) said the board should acknowledge that the 2019 budget may come in with a deficit—not a surplus.
Commissioner Amy Holt (Democrat) also suggested that reinvesting any surplus into capital improvements would save taxpayers money in the long run.
Commissioner Nathan Brown also pushed back against Nothstein's tax rebate idea. He referred to an unfunded mandate that the county buying $3.1 million worth of new voting machines.
Commissioner Amy Zanelli weighed in with the opinion that not only was it a bad idea to give back money when Lehigh County is faced with an appeal that it is "almost guaranteed to lose." She was referring to the Commissioner's decision to appeal the lost legal challenge of the Christian cross being in the County's seal.
Democrat Zanelli also saw political motivations behind Republican Nothstein's proposed resolution. "The timing of this I can't ignore," said Zanelli. She said the proposal had a lot less to do with giving back to the taxpayers than with politics.
Nothstein is currently campaigning for election in the up-coming May 15 primary as the Republican candidate to replace U. S. House of Representative Charlie Dent who is retiring from Congress.
In another Nothstein-connected issue, the Commissioners deferred a vote on a $627,000 computer contract with Allentown-based Computer Aid, Inc. because Commissioner Brad Osborne, also a Republican, said he wanted to discuss another Computer Aid, Inc. contract and its connection to the county's management software.
Computer Aid, Inc. had made a $2,700 contribution to Nothstein's campaign. The contribution was later returned by Nothstein because it was noted by the Lehigh County law department as a possible violation of the Lehigh County's anti pay-to-play law enacted after former Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski was indicted for accepting bribes from vendors seeking government contracts.
A move by Nothstein to put former Lehigh Commissioner Lisa Schiller on the Velodrome Fund sputtered when Leigh County Commissioner President Nothstein recused himself from nominating Lisa Schiller to the fund but then couldn't get any other member of the Board of Commissioners to nominate her.
Nothstein is currently the Executive Director of the Valley Preferred Cycling Center headquartered in Breinigsville. Valley Preferred Cycling Center leases the velodrome from Lehigh County.
In other business, the Commissioners appointed Catherine P. Caracio to the Children's Youth Services Advisory Board. "I know her personally and she's a fighter," attested Commissioner Amanda Holt.
The Commissioners approved a contract with Fedetz & Martin Associates, PC to provide architectural and engineering consulting services to convert a section of the Lehigh County Court House basement into a Juvenile Holding Area.
The Commissioners also proclaimed May 6 – 12 as National Drinking Water Week. Lehigh County "joins with the Lehigh County Conservation District and Lehigh County Authority in urging all resident to celebrate the gift of water and protect this natural resource for generations to come."

Youth Brain Rewired By Casual Marijuana Smoking: Study
- Updated: April 16, 2014
A recent study conducted by North Western University's Medical School, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital has revealed that even casual marijuana pot smoking affects brain. This study was published in the Journal of Neuroscience this week and it differed from many of research studies that were related to marijuana use, which focus only on heavy users.
It revealed that there is a direct link between the marijuana intake and brain abnormalities, specifically in the young. Dr Hans Beiter, who is the co-author of the study, stated that the changes are seen in the brain in marijuana smokers who are aged between 18 and 25. This is not something that can be taken for granted he said. He further added that the study found that, the number of times a person smokes marijuana; it changes the nucleus acumen and the nucleus amygdale accordingly. These are the portions that regulate motivation and emotion in a person. These changes are predominant in youngsters who smoke pot between 1 to 7 joints a week.
Further, the study also found that the density, shape and volume of brain regions changed and more study has to be done to find out how these changes affected in long-term and if they can be fixed, added Beiter. Based on the results, it is hypothesised that these changes actually indicate a person is going to become less emotional and lose focus on their goals in the future.
This study was funded by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy and National Institute of Drug Abuse. It also reported that pot access has increased and specifically after the Washington State and Colorado voting to legalise its recreational use. However, usage of this drug is still considered illegal as per the federal law. In United States alone, there are 20 states that have allowed medical pot as the advocates argue that smoking pot is a better option in comparison to alcohol.
Further, Dr Beiter stated that alcohol consumption is also found to alter the brain functions. However, it is still under process. The researchers have not found out how the mental rewiring takes place and how it affects the lives of people. The difference between marijuana and drinking is that, in pot smoking physical changes in the brain can be witnessed. Further, it has more effect on young people as their brains are still developing, and it is important to avoid the smoking pot under 30 unless it is to manage the pains of terminal illness.

In this article we will show you guys how to configure your SQL database within MDT 2013 Update 1 and configure it to start using the Make and Model section of the database to push out applications by make and model during your deployment.
The only way that we know is using a database. You don't have to purchase an SQL license because you can actually use the Express version depending on how many machines you have. If you have couple machines on your infrastructure, the Express version will work great for you. Or, when you are installing MDT 2013, you will find out that SQL Express is already there, so you can use it for free.
Just make sure that you open up all the ports that you need on your SQL, because MDT is going to talk to it, like 1433.
So we have our SQL Server already installed within DMT Server. We are actually using SQL Server 2008 R2 version, but again guys you can use the Express version.
Now, you need to right click on the Root directory and then go to Properties. Within Connections just make sure that you check Allow remote connections to the server. If you don't do it, you won't have access to communicate to your database, but you need that.
Another way is going inside your firewall, make sure that 1433 port is enabled, and once that port is enabled, you are able to contact between MDT and your database. You can also go to the SQL Configuration Manager and open up your TCP/IP. So, press Ok on that.
Now, go inside a database. Now we don't have any type of database created.
Switch to MDT and go to Advanced Configuration -> Database. As you can see, nothing is set up so you have to right click on the database note and create a new database.
From here, give your SQL Server a name. An instance and a port are optional.
But if you have a specific port that you assigned to your SQL Server, give it there. The Network Library is going to be Named Pipes. Then click on Next.
If everything goes well, you shouldn't get any error. The next page is creating a database or creating (recreating) the tables and views in an existing database or use an existing database. What we are going to do is just create a new database. Let's call it MD and click on Next.
SQL share is optional. In the next windows you will see a nice little summary, just click on Next.
After that the creation process will start. Once it done, click Finish and that's it.
Now, if you will click on the database, you will see Computers, Roles, Locations and Make and Model.
But before doing some changes, let's go inside your database and refresh the root directory. Now the MDT database is there with all the tables that we are going to be using and it's awesome. Now switch back to MDT Deployment Share.
When you right click inside your MDT note and then go to Properties you are going to see rules. Within rules you see a lot of stuff that you can use if needed.
Right now we need to go to Make and Model. There is nothing in here, because we need to create something. If you want to build applications on Make and Model approach, just right click on it and create new.
Within Identify tab you have to specify something like this:
Make: Dell
Model: Optiplex 9010
After that, go into Applications tab. Click on Add and we are going to do add a Lite touch application.
Within a Light touch application we only have specific ones, so let's say we only want this particular model to push out Visual C++ 2015.
Let's do it again and this time add another one.
After that you got to make sure that you have it in the order that you want by clicking Up or Down buttons.
Once it done, the next thing you need to do is configure your database. So, right click on your database note and select Configure Database Rules.
From here you have computer options, location options, Make/Model options and other options. You have to deselect all the options in the first two windows and go to Make/Model Options.
Now, you have to make sure that all options are selected.
If not, just click on Select All and go Next. In Role options you need to deselect all the options as well. After that it's going to progress and will finish.
We just configured our database file so you have to right click on MDT Deployment Share and go to Properties -> Rules. If you go all the way to the bottom you will see that you got new variables.
So right now it's configured with our database. The next thing you guys just need to do is right click on MDT and select Update Deployment Share. Click on Next to the progress and that's it.
This is the only solution that we know to deploy specific application to Makes and Models. If you have any comments or questions above this scenario, leave it in the section below.

We were delighted to win tickets, courtesy of Islabikes, for this year's London Bike Show at ExCeL, in London's Docklands.
Thomas Ivor is between schools at the moment and the only chance we had for all three children to go was the Thursday, which was a shame in that we missed Mark Beaumont, Matt Stephens, Chris Boardman and Chris Hoy, amongst others, but was a blessing in that the show was relatively quiet, it being a school day.
One of the main reasons for wanting to go was actually to visit the Islabikes stand, our Northamptonshire home being nearer to the show than their base in Shropshire. This year we have two possible purchases in our sights - a 24" wheeled bike for Thomas Ivor, and a first set of pedals for Ruth.
|Waiting for the train, Croozer packed flat, ready to go!
Three children, two of whom are ambulatory but not reliable and still require a considerable amount of paraphernalia, with just the one of me, represents something of a challenge on public transport, and so bearing in mind the success of our trip to the NEC last year, I decided to get brave and take the trailer to London on the train.
I knew that it was physically possible to get the trailer, I mean, pushchair (nomenclature is important!) dropped flat, onto the East Midlands Trains 'Meridian' on to St Pancras - it just takes time and practice to get it all ready, and ideally a hand from the platform staff to stop the little ones hurling themselves down the gap, which at Wellingborough, where we boarded, is considerable. Unfortunately, the double Croozer is about five inches too wide to get it in assembled.
The best news came when we got to London - and it was a little closer for comfort than I'd have liked, but it all worked!
Happily, we can report that we successfully got through the gates at St Pancras, into the lifts and through the ticket gates onto the sub-surface platforms and changed onto the Docklands Light Railway at West Ham and Canning Town. Both the new 'S' stock on the Underground, and the DLR trains, had ample capacity to admit us without causing anyone any bother. It would seem that the standard door opening of a lift on the Underground is about an inch or so wider than the trailer, so with care, we were able to roll straight in, arriving at ExCeL just in time for lunch.
Upon entering the show, mindful that the girls were likely to tire, we headed for the Islabikes stand on the far side of the hall. A lovely young lady by the name of Suzanne greeted us and took time with each of the children individually to give them a go on a bike. By the time Thomas Ivor and Ruth had had their turn, Rhoda just had to be let out for a spin on a Rothan!
The verdict? Well, Ruth is ready for the Cnoc 14 as soon as we are (£250 to find!). She was almost managing to pedal but it's going to take some work, of course. Thomas Ivor's just had another inch and a half into the seat post on his Beinn 20s, but as yet isn't ready to make the move to the Luath 24, which nevertheless looks like the bike of choice, so that purchase can probably wait until the Autumn.
What with looking at bikes, Thomas Ivor riding a motorcycle, visiting various tourist boards' stands, watching people do ridiculous things on the climbing wall, street velodrome and BMX ramps, we had an action-packed afternoon. We traded Alan Partridge quotes with the man representing the Norfolk Broads, had some good-natured banter with some people trying to make cycling acceptable in the New Forest, and a bizarre encounter with a jobsworth who accused me of trying to kill Ruth by test driving a Babboe City cargo bike (which I loved, by the way) on the short test track - without a helmet! Horrors! The poor Dutch chap who demonstrated it to me must have wondered what all the fuss was about.
Ruth wasn't so much disappointed to be going home, as utterly raging. In fact, she made herself a bit sick, such was the magnitude of her displeasure at leaving the show. As always with little children we didn't get to do and see everything, but we had a wonderful time - and the knowledge that the Croozer Kid for 2 can get around London is a welcome piece of 'gen'...
We want to say a warm 'thank you' to the folk at Islabikes for their superb customer service, which as always lives up to the product's high standards, for the competition prize of the show tickets and for replacing Thomas Ivor's leg warmers, torn when he came off in the park the other week, which was a very kind gesture indeed.

The entire team here at Virtual Results has been incredibly busy building some amazing custom sites for our clients, but as both Jim and I alluded to, we're also working on a brand new website product offering.
If you follow us regularly, you know that the Virtual Results differentiator is that we take a very analytical approach to website creation, and test and refine EVERYTHING. I think our design is among the best in the industry, but it's design aligned with analytics — not straight design with the sole intent of looking beautiful. If, at the end of the day, your website is not turning traffic into leads, then you're missing the POINT of having a website.
Until NOW, Virtual Results only builds CUSTOM websites that cost 5K and up. However, starting sometime after the first of the year, we'll be releasing our brand new "predesigned websites that work" product offering utilizing much of the same great code we use today — for only $699! But it gets better. We are looking to fill our "BETA" group with 20 agents who are looking to revamp their web presence in 2011 and giving a discount on the setup fee in exchange for taking a bit of leap of faith based on our reputation for doing great work. We've filled about half that group already, so if you're interested in being one of the early adopters for an awesome website offering at an extremely affordable price, please email me at drew at virtualresults dot net or use our contact form and select "Interested in our new Predesigned Website Offering" in the contact reason drop down and I'll provide you further details.
We'll handle your web presence, so you can focus on what you specialize in — selling real estate. Look forward to hearing from you! And yes, I know this blog post is a bit vague – I promise I'll share more details offline 🙂

Radical Math Planning
Fortunately for our latest media campaign, "radical" has a conservative, established meaning in mathematics. The radical sign designates the nth root of a number, by default its second.
Our zip code area, 97214, is cram packed with talent. The TV series would be fantastic, but off beat, more underground comic than Hollywood blockbuster. The birthplace of the Silicon Forest has its attractions. Hawthorne Boulevard used to be named Asylum Avenue according to the tableau at Fred Meyers.
Glenn Stockton has assembled the simple ways to come up with the key edge lengths you'll need, using just a compass on paper, to construct such as the unit-edge cube with body and face diagonals, of radical(3) and radical(2) respectively. The unit-edge tetrahedron slips right in, a smooth segue to our Concentric Hierarchy, core to our curriculum in 97214.

Hi ya, all! It's time for a new challenge over at CAS(E) This Sketch! Here is this week's sketch.
Here is my take on the sketch.
This was a fun one layer card to color! =)
All the stamps are from My Favorite Things You're Super set. They are stamped on Papertrey Ink's kraft card base then colored with Copic markers.
The sentiment comes with the You're Super set.
That's all I have for now. Don't forget to go and find out what the other design team members created for this week's sketch and see all the challenge details over at CAS(E) This Sketch! Hope you can join us this week! =)

For people in hurry get the latest code and open this example in Xcode IDE and run the example.
In my 22 yrs, all along I have been either a Microsoft technology programmer or a Java programmer. I always wanted to understand "the dark side" of application development, iOS Programming using Xcode IDE and Objective C. iOS Programming is all about Programming for iPad and iPhone class of devices. This weekend, I had an opportunity to tryout few things,
- How can you compare Xcode IDE to something like Eclipse or Visual Studio? Are there any build tools like Ant or Maven in this part of the world? Are there any tools for Dependency management similar to Maven repository?
- How similar or different is Objective C compared to Java or C++
After trying out, my opinion has changed about iOS programming. I really started liking it. As with any tools, there is a learning curve. Once you get past it, it is cool. Xcode IDE is very well integrated with iPhone/iPad simulators.
If you want to start development, as a prerequisite, we need a Mac system and you need to download Xcode. If you want to upload your applications in App Store you need to signup for $99 iOS developer program. This will also get you ton of goodies like Beta tools you can try out.
Xcode: My take
My couple of days experience with Xcode, I started liking it. For a starter, there are few tutorials on youtube from iffytheperfect1983, please try out these and you will quickly get a grasp of Xcode, Objective C, Cocoa, Cocoa Touch. Cocoa framework is used to develop OS X applications and Cocoa Touch is used to develop iPad/iPhone based application. I tried JSon Parsing tutorial, SQLite tutorial and Grand Central Dispatch tutorial and liked all of them. There is also a Basic Calculator tutorial, you will like it. I suggest, open your Xcode and work along these tutorials, you will quickly get a hang of Xcode and Objective C. Xcode also has SenTest a good unit testing framework, I haven't explored it yet.
Xcodebuild: My take
There is a materials on the web that talks about Xcodebuild and CocoaPod. I tried Xcodebuild, this is similar to ant. They say CocoaPod is a dependency management tool similar to Maven. I haven't tried it, in my next few blogs I will try and let you know. To run a simple xcodebuild command on a Xcode project you need to type in below command,
xcodebuild clean build CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="" CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO
Objective C: My take
This language looks very convoluted at first glance, but if someone knows C, they can pick this up. Reading through the web, it is clear Apple team consciously took decision to go with Objective C. Someone also spoke about Objective C philosophy. Someone compared C++ with Objective C.
Sample JSon Rendering application for iPhone
This is a simple example, where when we click a button, it will get the RSS feed of top 10 albums and bind it to a table view. The JSon structure looks as below,
The code sample is as below,
-(void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection{ NSDictionary *allDataDictionary = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:webData options:0 error:nil]; NSDictionary *feed = [allDataDictionary objectForKey:@"feed"]; NSArray *arrayOfEntry = [feed objectForKey:@"entry"]; for (NSDictionary *dictionary in arrayOfEntry) { NSDictionary *title = [dictionary objectForKey:@"title"]; NSString *label = [title objectForKey:@"label"]; [array addObject:label]; } [[self myTableView]reloadData]; } - (IBAction)getTop10AlbumButton:(id)sender { [array removeAllObjects]; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://itunes.apple.com/us/rss/topalbums/limit=10/json"]; NSURLRequest * request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]; connection = [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:request delegate:self]; if(connection){ webData = [[NSMutableData alloc]init]; } }
For more details, import my project into Xcode and run the example and understand the code flow.
I hope this example helped.

For the first time today I tried receiving the RTTY transmitted by GAGA-1 and decoding it using DL-FLDIGI. It worked (first time!).
To illustrate the whole set up here's a little video. The radio I'm using is a Yaesu FT-790R II which I bought second-hand on eBay. This is an old radio, but it's sturdy and can do SSB at 70cm. Although it's a portable, I managed to buy one that had never been outside and it looks like it's been treated with great care. Thanks, eBay!
The flight computer is in a loop transmitting $GAGA-1 Test Transmission using 7-bit ASCII, with two stop bits, no parity at 50 baud.
Apologies for the shaky hand and blurry video. The combination of me + the iPhone's poor camera isn't great. Just listen to that lovely RTTY sound though.

GAGA-1: The lovely sound of RTTY

Hmmmm.... Sounds like the background noise in Luke Skywalker's den when he was cleaning up R2D2; and C3PO was taking an oil-bath ["Thank The Maker! This oil-bath will feel sooo good..."].
I'm not convinced its what he says it is. I suspect JGC has simply sampled the audio from Star Wars, and the rest of his presentation is fancy Photoshop-gadgetry. There's no such thing as a GAGA-balloon project, and this is all a sham. After-all, no one person is this talented - not evern the predigious Dr Sheldon Cooper! :)
What'se the difference between 'regular' Fldigi and DL-Fldigi?
I'm curious, my father uses Fldigi on Windows with Yeasu FT-987 (if I remember correctly) for RTTY.

The Vischer Ferry Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 because of its large concentration of working class Greek Revival structures. Six of the buildings have columned porticos and many have engaged pilasters and other Greek Revival architectural details. It is a typical upstate New York Canal village containing the remains of the original canal and two dry docks where canal boats were built and repaired. Canal boat carpenters constructed the homes between 1833 and 1862.

Legendary Brazilian striker Ronaldo insists that Manchester United's teenage sensation Marcus Rashford "has an amazing future" ahead of him.
Tottenhamai??i??s Striking Department has been below par over the last two seasons. The new academy graduate as well as one of the following five players may help Spurs to gain the coveted top 4 finish. From Sheringham and Klinsman to Defoe and Keane, Tottenham have always boasted of a threatening striking partnership amongst their ranks. However, in the last two season the Spurs striking department is but a shade of its former days. A Togolese who is often criticised for playing only when in need of a contract and a Spaniard who is as comfortable in the league as walrus in a straight jacket make up the current Tottenham attack. With Harry Kane yet to find his first start in the Premier League (which may come in the Aston Villa game), Tottenham really need a scoring striker if they wish to compete against the top clubs in the Premier League. Hurrikane Harry Kane, the Tottenham academy graduate came into light […]

What is Diabetes? The amount of sugar in the blood is controlled by a hormone called insulin, which is produced by the pancreas. When food is digested and enters the bloodstream, insulin moves glucose out of the blood and into cells, where it is broken down to produce energy. Your body is
unable to break down glucose into energy. This is because there's either not enough insulin to move the glucose or the insulin produced doesn't work properly. In type 1 your body's immune system attacks and destroys the cells that produce insulin. As no insulin is produced, your glucose levels increase, which can seriously damage the body's organs. Type 1 is often known as insulin-dependent diabetes. It's also sometimes known as juvenile diabetes because it usually develops before the age of 40, often during the teenage years. Type 1 is less common than Type 2. In the UK, it affects about 10% of all adults with diabetes. If you're diagnosed with type 1, you'll need insulin injections for the rest of your life. You'll also need to pay close attention to certain aspects of your lifestyle and health to ensure your blood glucose levels stay balanced. Type 2 occurs when your body doesn't produce enough insulin, or the body's cells don't react to insulin. This is known as insulin resistance. If you're diagnosed with type 2, you may be able to control or even reverse your symptoms simply by eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly and monitoring your blood glucose levels. However, as type 2 is a progressive condition, you may eventually need medication, usually in the form of tablets. Type 2 is often associated with obesity. Obesity-relate diabetes is sometimes referred to as maturity-onset diabetes because it's more common in older people. During pregnancy, some women have such high levels of blood glucose that their body is unable to produce enough insulin to absorb it all. This is known as gestational diabetes and affects up to 18 in 100 women during pregnancy. Pregnancy can also make existing type 1 diabetes worse. Gestational diabetes can increase the risk of health problems developing in an unborn baby, so it's important to keep your blood glucose levels under control. In most cases, gestational diabetes develops during the second trimester of pregnancy (weeks 14 to 26) and disappears after the baby is born. However, women who have gestational diabetes are at an increased risk (30%) of developing type 2 later in life (compared with a 10% risk for the general population).

Research Project Design and Development
Biostatisticians discuss statistical considerations of study design, including objectives and aims, realistic endpoints, study population, randomization schema, quality assurance, sample size, and power analyses, and develop the statistical methods for data analyses. These statistical considerations are essential for high-quality scientific studies that are efficient and reproducible.
For Basic Research: biostatisticians help the investigator review experiments, hypotheses, methodology, and data characteristics. Methods for analyses depend on whether the data collected will be discrete or continuous, clustered in time or space, and univariate or multivariate, or whether there are additional variables to consider. For example, for the Cancer Metabolism and Growth Program (CMG), Biometrics provides study designs and data analyses on experiments testing multiple chemopreventive compounds for their synergistic effects in animal models to be translated to human chemoprevention clinical studies.
For Clinical Research: investigators are required to utilize Biometrics for all investigator-initiated clinical trials. Examples of the types of analyses that are performed include:
The recent increase in precision medicine umbrella and basket trials, often reliant on biomarkers, require new statistical thinking toward efficiency of clinical trial design and analysis.
For Population Research: biostatistical support accommodates a wide range of needs, including cancer screening programs and health behavior studies for cancer prevention and control; data analyses based on national databases (such as Surveillance, Epidemiological and End Result (SEER) and Medicare) and data management and analyses of large cohort studies. Recommendations are made regarding the organization of data into appropriate subset databases.
Study Monitoring in Addition to PRMS
Biometrics supports study monitoring as follows: 1) Biometrics members who do not serve on the Scientific Review Board (SRB) (Rutgers Cancer Institute's Protocol Review and Monitoring System) are often called upon by the SRB to review protocols (a Biometrics reviewer will never be asked to review a protocol for which they wrote or helped write the statistical section); and 2) all Biometrics members do various analyses in support of monitoring – stopping rules need to be checked, which may require special analyses (e.g., when "response" is defined in terms of rising PSA, statistical analysis is required to calculate the slope of PSA doubling time); for Bayesian toxicity monitoring, Biometrics is called on for interpretation, and the numbers need to be re-calculated once they are used; when a Phase II trial using Simon's 2-stage design is slow in enrollment, Biometrics is called upon to evaluate the statistical justification of possible early termination or extension of the trial.
Developing Novel Supportive Methodology
In some instances, consultation on project design identifies the need to develop unique analytical methods to fully capitalize on the data, conserve resources, monitor the study, or optimize experiments. Biometrics developed statistical methods for a wide range of needs including analyzing DNA microarray data, small pilot studies for discovering biomarkers, algorithm-based designs, and model-based designs for Phase I cancer studies, and adaptive designs for Phase II cancer studies. During the recent years, additional methods have been developed such as estimation treatment effect following a clinical trial using an adaptive design, prevention and handling of missing data, two-stage winner trials with survival outcomes, survival with cure model, and dose-finding method by joint modeling efficacy and safety endpoints. A Biometrics seminar introduced Bayesian designs to CINJ researchers, and Biometrics applied modified CRM to combination therapies in recent studies. The method of Lin and Shih for adaptive phase IIA single arm trials has been used by researchers in other institutions lately for "basket" trials in molecular/genome directed precision medicine such as Vemurafenib in Multiple Nonmelanoma Cancers with BRAF V600 Mutations.
Protocol and Grant Proposal Review
Biometrics reviews grant proposals from basic, clinical, and population science researchers, including human and non-human, follow-up, and cross-sectional survey studies.
Computation and Statistical Analyses
Methods for appropriate data analyses depend on the objectives and design of the study. To ensure consistency and efficiency, Biometrics established a standard operating procedure for developing the Data Analysis Plan. In general, to conduct and interpret the results of the statistical analysis used to test the hypotheses of a study, Biometrics: 1) provides a preliminary data review to ensure that the quality and assumptions required for the analysis are satisfied; 2) completes all statistical analyses required to test the hypotheses considered in the study (including interim analyses when required); 3) applies multivariate logistic regression analyses, Cox models for survival or progression-free survival data, as needed; and 4) creates tables/graphs describing subject demographic characteristics, primary and secondary endpoints and exploratory biomarker data, and range of possible confounders associated with measurements that could affect the response of interest. For biomarker analyses, Biometrics works with the Biomedical Informatics Shared Resource to identify candidate biomarkers and then with clinical investigators to analyze the association with clinical outcomes.
Data Reports/Publications
Biometrics assists in data reporting: to enhance quality, efficiency, and consistency, standard operating procedures were developed for data spreadsheet formats and statistical reports. In collaboration with investigators, Biometrics meets the specific requirements for each study or protocol and for the submission of data for presentations, audits, and publication.
Education, Consultation, and Training Activities
Biometrics helped develop the curriculum for the training program in clinical protocol development and plays an important role in ongoing grant development training and mentoring. Additional activities include teaching credit-earning courses, seminar series, guest lectures, and individual educational/consulting assistance in study design and data interpretation.

Basement level, 227 Collins St, Wales Corner, Melbourne, VIC 3000. Ph: +61 3 9663 4533
"I grew up in Melbourne, the oldest of seven, in West Heidelberg in the 1960s. It was a pretty rough place. My parents couldn't control me; they reckoned I lost my cool, was bad-tempered. I ended up in the children's home, transferred around when I got too old – Travancore, Allambie, another house for girls. Went in at nine, came out at 18.
Afterwards I went back to Mum, then moved to Shepparton to Dad's to work in the disability workshops – painting, packing lollies and flowers. I've done different cleaning jobs – houses and offices. Then back to Melbourne, and went everywhere, travelling. I had my first child at 21. Mum took her in. The next one ended up with my auntie, and then three went to Welfare – two of those were taken to Queensland. My baby's still with my sister, Tina; [my baby is] 13 now. I don't see any of my exes. I've given up on guys – completely!
Two of my children have had children – my eldest daughter just had her eighth child in May. We speak by phone all the time, because she's over in South Australia.
I heard about The Big Issue from my brother, Doug [Vendor Profile along with Sharon, Ed#322, Feb 2009], who is still doing well. He comes and sees me when I'm working, makes sure I'm all right.
I started selling in Adelaide first, a couple of years at the train station and outside the market. Then I took the train to Sydney; was staying on the streets, homeless. I slept on the steps of a shop in Pitt St and they'd keep an eye on me from the big hotel opposite, made sure I was okay.
I've been selling in Melbourne for two years, and am in a boarding house now – it's pretty cheap and it's been good for me. It has got a shared kitchen, but we have our own shower. I stay in my room and watch TV, DVDs.
When I was homeless, I mixed in all right with the streeties, but never touched the drugs. I've got the strength to put up with it. A lot of them here now in Melbourne think of me like their mum. The kids hang around me when I'm selling near Flinders Street Station. I'll have to start putting my foot down. It does interfere with my selling, but I tell them to join up, too.
I also do Flagstaff Station, got a heap of customers there. And I've started at the 'slow food' market at the Abbotsford Convent each month – sold out 20 mags before one o'clock the day I started!
The Big Issue has been good – I sell a few and I've got to know a lot of my customers. They stop and talk to me, reckon I'm very polite and give good customer service.
I'll be doing The Big Issue for ages, till I can get on my feet. Settle down and get my own place, that's what I want to do. It's a challenge.
I'm usually happy, and I'll pick up again. Thank you to all my customers for buying the magazine – it makes a difference."

The Art Walk on the Raritan
Albus Cavus is a group of artists which originated in new brunswick whose goal is to reclaim bad neighborhoods and run down areas thru public art. When one says public art, one might think of large expensive sculptures or art by well known famous artists which you can;t get close to. Their idea of public art is art in the most unexpected places, something positive and uplifting rather than the graffiti that is so often associated with poverty, crime, and neighborhoods that have need for urban renewal.
In 2007 they attempted to transform the Raritan Walk, a 1.8 mile stretch of walkway along the Raritan River into one of the largest murals in the world. Local artists were invited to add their artwork to what was otherwise a blighted stretch of concrete. In this article the idea of Albus Cavus is discussed, including the art walk in New Brunswick as well as one in DC. The hope was to maintain it and keep it fresh, but sadly that has not been the case.
I visited it in spring 2015. The art was still there and its rather impressive. The walk however, was clearly home to small groups of homeless. The vegetation was barely in check and there was garbage and debris all along its path. There was also signs that the homeless were feeding a local colony of cats. I didn't feel entirely safe, despite not seeing any obvious threat. It is desolate and far from aid should one need it. It also appears as if the art murals done 10 years ago have been covered with your typical graffiti. If one wishes to visit, the best way to do so is park at Elmer Boyd Park and just walk North.

Head 2 Head on 295
If you drive on 295, as you approach exit 65B you will see a large piece of public art called Head 2 Head, created by artist John Martini. The two giant heads weigh a combined 45 tons and are part of a project by the Grounds For Sculpture, a local park featuring large works of art. The Sculpture On The Way (SOTW) program is meant to be a visual path that leads visitors to the Grounds for Sculpture. By displaying art publicly it is hoped that it was will encourage local residents and business owners to display art publicly on their own, unaffiliated with the program itself.
You can read more about the SOTW program, featuring descriptions and locations of other pieces here. You can read more about Head 2 Head here

1937 Yellowstone Park Bus
I saw this car in Readington, NJ, off to the side of Route 22. I was headed south, not doing anything but driving along, when I saw this 4 row open air … Frankencar. I couldn't think of another word to describe it. It looked like some really old car had been stretched and customized into something totally new.
Turns out, it wasn't new at all. It was in fact, very old. The car is owned by the Tewksbury Balloon company and it is used as their chase vehicle. When you fly in a hot air balloon, you gain lift through the use of hot air jets, but despite that you are still at the mercy of the wind. The pilot has to watch the winds very carefully and at the same time be watching the terrain for suitable landing spots. Most of the time, balloon pilots set down in a large open space such as a baseball field, parking lot or a farm. On rare occasions it's someones backyard. A chase vehicle follows on the ground and when the balloon lands they pick up the pilot and passengers. The basket goes on or in the vehicle along with the balloon itself.
This chase vehicle is a 1937 White Model 614 Yellowstone Tour bus. Yellowstone National Park was the first National Park established in the United States by President Grant on March 1, 1872. Covering over 3,400 square miles, the Park was a popular destination for Americans eager to explore thanks to the recent introduction of the automobile. As visitor levels soared, increasing traffic volumes created problems for Park management so in 1917, multi-passenger bus tours were introduced. The model pictured above was first introduced in 1931. These 14-passenger units featured glass side windows and an opening top cover so that guests could stand up to enjoy the scenery. These buses also had a more powerful 75hp engine than their predecessors, to facilitate climbing the mountain passes, and new hydraulic brakes provided increased safety.
Many of the Yellowstone buses are prized by collectors and are often used in tourism related businesses. More information on the history and models of Yellowstone buses can be found at Geyser Bob's detailed website here.
The Tewksbury Balloon company flies passengers over the hills of northern and central NJ out of White House Station, so if you fly with them you can ride in their Yellowstone bus on trip back to their launch site. There are lots of pictures on their facebook page.

Part 5: British Food I Love (and then some)
My London-based friend, Marc, takes a break from his studies at Oxford to take me around Shoreditch and Spitalfields Market. Along with Clerkenwell, these areas are part of what's described as post-industrial areas northeast of London. It's supposed to be all very hip and one cool quarter but we're here on a Friday instead of the suggested Sunday when two of the biggest markets, Brick Lane Market and Sunday Upmarket, are held, so there's not too much going on. Still, what we do see gladdens me very much.
Spitalfields Market has endured much gentrification, much to the chagrin of Londoners who are against big businesses and their redevelopment plans. But the market clings on featuring fashion finds and things from emerging designers. The general vibe reminds me of the Greenhills bazaars, something altogether pleasant and where a little perseverance will reward me with a cool new accessory.
Spitalfields Market
We move on towards Brick Lane, passing the Old Truman Brewery along the way. Formerly London's biggest brewery, it now houses plenty of autonomous music shops and bars. It's the lunch hour and there are crowds milling about the various food stalls selling everything from paella to Korean noodles. It all smells distinctly, familiarly pungent to me and I feel a twinge. Suddenly, I miss Asian food.
South of the Brewery is Brick Lane, also called Banglatown and home to almost 50 Indian/Bengali restaurants. This area has been dubbed the UK's Curry Capital, with curry following just behind fish and chips as Britain's most popular food. Here, curry and balti houses interweave with fabric stores and Asian supermarkets. Throw in a few independent fashion stores and music businesses, and it's quite the mix.
On Brick Lane, every other person is clutching a soiled brown sandwich bag, remnants of a salt beef sandwich. Salt beef is similar to New York-style corned beef, a Jewish deli original made from curing beef briskets in brine. Famous all over for their Salt Beef Beigels (the local spelling for 'bagel'), Brick Lane Beigel Bake is open 24/7 and serves everybody from marketgoers during the day to Shoreditch clubbers at night. There's a line that snakes out the door but Marc and I gamely take our place and study the menu. The three counter attendants move with exceeding efficiency and seem to have eight hands each – making sandwiches, pulling out beigels to go, calculating and counting change, etc. There's no room for dilly-dallying here – you go up to the counter and bark out your order and may the planet fall on you if you flounder.
Marc and I plan our strategy: he gets the Salt Beef Beigel (£2.60) and I get the Salmon with Cream Cheese Beigel. We step out the door and hurriedly unwrap our respective sammies (sandwiches). One bite, Marc rolls his eyes. One bite of mine, and I grimace. I had a mental misfire, a blip. Salmon sandwiches are not what Beigel Bake is known for. This isn't New York, you oaf! I berate myself. "Marc, this isn't doing it for me. I want your sandwich!" I say accusingly, complete with pointed finger. "Tell you what, let's go into the other shop and buy their salt beef and let's compare," he replies. Right beside Brick Lane Beigel Bake is another store that's so unforgettable I can't even recall its name. They have the same items as their neighbor but their Salt Beef Beigels are different.
Here's Marc holding up our two salt beef specimens. The sandwich on the left is from the Store-With-No-Name while the one on the right is from Beigel Bake. The former is a smaller serving with thinner slices of beef. The brine is also sharper, somewhat saltier. Beigel Bake's salt beef serving is heartier (especially with lots of English mustard and pickles!), the meat has some bite, as opposed to it being "overcured" hence, it'd be mushy, and we can taste the beefy flavor as opposed to just tasting salt. And when paired with the resistantly-chewy beigel, it's the overall better salt beef beigel.

For dinner, Marc is taking me to his favorite Chinese restaurant in London. Marc's friend, John, also a student at Oxford, is joining us for dinner. "They specialize in Sichuan cuisine, Lor, and this place is better than all the others I encountered in my seven years in China!" he burbles excitedly. Located on Charing Cross Road, Red Hot – quite the apt name, yes? – is exactly like every other Chinese restaurant: brightly lit and nondescript. There's one exception though. The place is tiny, tiny by this Asian girl's standards, but as I quickly discover, what it lacks in size, the flavor of the food makes up for in largeness.
Marc is speaking in rapid fire Mandarin to the server while I glance at the menu. There are some rather startlingly-named dishes, startling by any nationality's standards, with the common theme of "Fast and Fried." To wit: Fire Exploded (!) Kidney Flowers, Crisp & Fast Fried; Pockmarked Lady's Tou Fu with Minced Meat, and something that's not on the menu but which Marc knows to order, the rather lyrical Sichuan Chicken with Lip-Tingling Spicy Sauce (£7.80). Pleased to meet you, yes I am.
It turns out to be my favorite dish among the six that land on our table. Arriving and looking ominously like a bowl of blood and oil, it's strips of poached chicken bathing in an oil bled red from rendering it with roasted Sichuan peppercorns. Peanuts prance atop and I include them in my first spoonful. The chicken is tender and cool, and quickly, the oil slithers down my throat leaving a flurry of flavors on my tongue. "Marc, I feel like I can taste flowers in my mouth!" I say, my hands aflutter. I smack my lips loudly, the inhalation of air brings the flavors to the fore once more. "Oh god, it's like lavender!" Marc nods his assent animatedly. His tastebuds too have been inflamed. "It's the Sichuan peppercorns. The restaurant gets them super fresh." Tremendous.
The following dish has a kilometric (and descriptive) name: Fragrant Pork Slivers with Pickled Chilli Ginger With A Hint of Sweet & Sour Sauce; "Famous Sichuan Dish" is tacked at the end. This one too has so many flavors so cunningly, skillfully blended that my mind and palate become frantic: what is this? what is this? I detect chili, star anise, fennel, maybe even some coriander, bean paste, and of course those mighty Sichuan peppercorns. Sichuan cuisine is no symphony of spice, it's a raucous rock concert. And I love it.
A plate of vibrant Stir Fried Pea Sprouts (tom yao; £8.5) readies our palates for yet another chili charge.
This is one of Red Hot's signature dishes, the Red N Hot Special Fish (£16.80) – "Very Popular and Unique to This Restaurant" I read on the menu. It makes for a good show, a mountain of chili peppers enshrouding glistening fillets of fish. I appreciate the artistry and skill but flavorwise, it doesn't move me. The oil is rather tasteless and really, what's to do with all those chilies after they've been removed from the surface?
- Red Hot Special Fish chili cover off
By now, Marc and John have been employing what I call the energetic consumption of food. Their foreheads are profuse with sweat in spite of the single digit weather outside. For these guys, they'll keep eating and enduring the spice until the paint starts to peel off the walls. There are other dishes on the table (Chengdu Pan-Pan Noodles, Hot & Spicy Tou Fu Pudding) but I'm happy with the dishes I've mentioned and even happier that I'm eating rice again.
Red Hot Szechuan Cuisine
The next day, a visit to St. James's Park seems rather sedate after the ramming rod that was Sichuan cuisine, something I truly enjoyed however. My Bin is back from his conference so we're taking pleasure by visiting and reveling in the beauty of one of London's smallest parks, and one with killer views.
From here, we have views of the London Eye and the Big Ben, and some other landmarks I'm not familiar with. The central lake is quite famous, full it is with various ducks and geese and other fowl.
From St. James's Park, it's but a short stroll to Buckingham Palace. I'm unable to snap any satisfying photos but suffice it to say that the royal lodgings truly inspire feelings of awe and magnificence.

We have our first winner in the Tiger Woods floozy epidemic of 2009: The University of California at Davis. Two economics professors at the school have calculated that the Tiger Woods scandal "may have cost shareholders of companies endorsed by the world's No. 1 golfer up to $12 billion in losses." True? Probably not. Easily reported tidbit that keeps the Tiger scandal in the news another few days during this holiday drought? Absolutely.

Congratulations to CBS4, which posted its first 10 p.m. newscast ratings win in years. 9News GM Mark Cornetta blamed his station's second-place performance on "re-runs, specials and football (that) tend to skew the ratings results at this time of year," but we all know that the real reason CBS4 landed in first place is because of Misty Montano's twitter presence.

Q. As a physician, do I need a special state license or certification, in addition to my DEA registration, to dispense or prescribe controlled substances in Oregon?
A. Your DEA registration is sufficient to prescribe controlled substances. However any actively licensed Oregon physician who dispenses drugs must register with the Board as a "dispensing physician." Dispensing samples without charge is not considered dispensing.
Q. Can a Board licensee practice in Oregon using a license from another state?
A. No, except under the unique circumstances where a doctor who is licensed and in good standing in another state is employed by a federal installation, such as a veterans' hospital or an Indian reservation. Such a doctor may not practice elsewhere in the state.
Q. Does Oregon law require physician professional corporations to register with the Oregon Medical Board?
A. The Oregon Medical Board does not require physician corporations to register with the agency. However, professional corporations must file with the Office of Secretary of State per Oregon Revised Statue, Chapter 58. The administrative rule (OAR 847-40-005) that used to require this was repealed in 1989. All inquiries should be referred to the Office of Secretary of State at (503)986-2200.

Saddled with the worst title you could give to a comedy, Enemies of Laughter gives us David Paymer as Paul, a semi-failed sitcom writer whose experiences in Hollywood are echoed in his love life. He ends up on dozens of dates with your typical collection of L.A. airheads, but it isn't until he meets Carla (Rosalind Chao) that Paul figures he's met his match. Too bad he ruins their date with paranoid crazy-talk, sending Carla running for the hills.

Possible Medical Benefits of Your Tummy Tuck
Keep in mind that the tummy tuck is and will always be a plastic surgery procedure first, and should only be used by those that have proven it will be a benefit to their psychological health. However, some additional reasons to consider the tummy tuck include:
- Hernia Correction – During a tummy tuck, your doctor can find and repair any abdominal hernias that you have been struggling with, and strengthen the abdominal wall to help you potentially prevent future hernias from occurring. This is especially beneficial for those that were formerly tummy tuck obese, and may have a weakened abdominal wall.
- Less Stomach Stress – Exercise is the key to keeping weight off, but the stress that weight and movement causes on your body can be very real. That extra stomach fat and skin can cause feelings of illness when you find yourself running or playing sports, and even when you sit down it may be leading to pressure on your stomach that could lead to health issues.
- Reduction of Urinary Stress – According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the tummy tuck may also be beneficial for those that have been struggling with urinary stress and incontinence due to weight. Not only can a safe bladder obstruction be used to prevent incontinence, but the thinner and healthier stomach may put less pressure on the bladder as well.
- Improved Posture – During abdominoplasty, the stomach muscles are tightened. This, in turn, can help you improve your posture and your core strength. Your spine will get better support, and in some cases you may experience less back pain/discomfort.
- Less Sweat/Bacterial Buildup – Flaps of fat can unfortunately lead to the buildup of sweat, bacteria, and even some fungi. Though not generally "unsafe," this can lead to skin irritation, itching, and possibly infections in some rare cases. Removing this excess skin decreases the skin flaps, and thus creates a less hospitable environment for microbes.
Though the is primarily a cosmetic procedure, there are some reasons to believe that it has added benefits for those that are looking to better manage their health as well, and often these benefits can be considered by those that have been looking at tummy tucks as a possible surgical option.

I am a quilter. Can I purchase fabric directly from Timeless Treasures?
Sorry, no. We only sell wholesale (to businesses). If you are looking for a particular print, we suggest that you go to our shop locator and call the stores in your area to see if they have the fabric that you are looking for. You may also want to try online fabric stores, or websites such as Etsy or eBay.
I am a retailer. Can I order from you online?
Current wholesale customers can register for a login to order online (if you don't have a wholesale account with us already, contact us or call 800-466-0666 to open one). Click Wholesale Login at the top of our website. You will be asked to register for online access if you have never logged in to our site before. After registering, your account will be reviewed by an administrator, and you will be notified of approval via email. You can also place orders through your sales rep, or directly with TT via phone (800-466-0666), email ([email protected]), or fax (866-406-9317).
Can you tell me a specific store from which I can purchase a fabric or collection?
If the fabric is relatively recent, we can try to look up the store or stores which ordered it most recently. You will need to provide us with the full style name and color (e.g. Kidz-C2496 Blue) for us to help you. Generally, however, we would advise you to go to our store locator and then try calling the shops near you.
If you are trying to locate an old fabric, we recommend you try some of the auction sites on line.
Do you have a catalog?
No. Because older fabrics are discontinued throughout the year and because we are constantly introducing new fabrics, it is not practical for us to print a catalog. We try to update our website frequently to reflect the loss of the old and the addition of the new.
I printed out a free pattern, but the templates are too small. What did I do wrong?
Turn off "Page Scaling" or "Fit to Page" in the print dialog box to print the templates at actual size. Be sure to measure your templates to ensure they are the correct size before cutting.
I'm looking at a print on your website, but I can't tell how large the scale is. What size does the image frame represent?
The images displayed on our website represent a portion of fabric approximately 8″ x 10″. If you picture an 8″ ruler across the width of the image, and a 10″ ruler running up the height, it should give you a good idea of what size a particular motif or repeat is. If you're still having trouble determining the size of something, try to locate the fabric at a retailer so you can see it in person.
Please note some fabrics, such as panels or large scale repeats, show the full width (selvage to selvage, or 44″). When this is the case, it will be noted in the description.

cranberry cherry pie
with an eye towards turkey pot pie for dinner tonight, i made a double batch of pie dough yesterday. for thanksgiving dessert, i filled the dough with fresh cranberries, maple syrup, dried cherries, butter and a generous glug of cherry marnier liqueur. the finished pie was served with a dollop of creme fraiche.
for a couple of years, i have been trying to remember my nana's plain cornbread recipe, but have not quite managed to recall it completely. for the time being, i have settled on my own adaptation of ms edna lewis' cornbread, as interpreted by chef scott peacock.
crackers galore
the other day, i spent more time fiddling with my pizza crust recipe, in hopes of making it easier to handle. i'm getting close, so more on that later. i stored the leftover dough in the fridge for a couple days and totally forgot about it. when i saw it languishing on the shelf, this morning, i kind of panicked.
mushroom ravioli
fresh pasta
after weeks of waiting, my kitchenaid pasta roller finally arrived. it's been years since i've made fresh pasta and in the past i'd always rolled it and cut it by hand. in an attempt to limit my challenges on a first try with fresh gluten free pasta i tweaked the Cup4Cup recipe from gilt taste, based on my pre-gluten free preferences. since, i firmly believe that more is more, i used half & half instead of whole milk in the dough. so far, i've made some flat noodles, which i ate with butter and cheese for dinner and mushroom ravioli, which is shown in the next post. i am one happy camper!
