Featured Golf Course Review:
Los Angeles Royal Vista Golf Club - North/South Course -- Good starter course | ||
Review by: Golf Junkie | I began playing Royal Vista in High School because that is where my high school team practiced. It's a good course to get started on, but if you're looking for a more elegant golf course where only exclusive golfers are, this may not be the one for you. | |
From La Puente, CA USA |
Golf Courses: Additional Golf Course Reviews:
Roosevelt Municipal Golf Course -- a good 9 hole course | ||
Review by: matt | great 9 hole course. an easy par 4 to start, reachable in one for very long hitters, plays about 290. second hole is very challenging, up hill drive to an elavated green listed at 370 but plays well over 410. the sixth is 310 down hill with a very tight tree line, reachable but very challenging. 7th is a par 3 about 155 over a large bunker with a high lip. the distance on this course is very managable but you better hit the ball straight. couse is kept in good shape, but there is not much of a practice area to speak of. driving range into nets, no chipping area, 2 putting greens. | |

Chris Brown charged with misdemeanor hit-and-run
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles city attorney's office has charged singer Chris Brown with misdemeanor hit-and-run and driving without a valid license.
City attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan says the charges filed Tuesday involve a minor accident on May 21 in the San Fernando Valley.
If convicted, Brown would face up to one year in jail.
Arraignment is scheduled for July 15 at the Van Nuys courthouse, but an attorney can appear on Brown's behalf.
Mateljan says the county district attorney's office will be notified of the charges and it will be up to that office and the courts to determine if the case will have any effect on Brown's felony probation in the 2009 beating of singer Rihanna.
A call seeking comment from a Brown representative was not immediately returned Tuesday.

Designed for people with a passion for fine food, Fabulous Food Trails have been bringing people on cooking days to experience great food with terrific Chefs from different parts of the world for the last three years. Our Dublin Tasting Trail walks reflect all that is best on the contemporary Irish table and in our shops as we wander through the lesser known parts of the city, tasting as we go.
Dublin Tasting Trail
Where do we go? We visit bread shops, food halls, street markets, cheesemongers, fishmonger, butchers, bakers and lots more depending on the day. Best of all you'll meet the people whose families have traded in the area for generations and still produce wonderful food. And we also meet those bringing new international tastes and food ideas to the Irish table.
Our gentle 2½ hour stroll has lots of stops with frequent, generous tastings along the way. And we point out good places for lunch, dinner or a pint, though after all the tastings it's very unlikely you'll need lunch.
Soak in the history and culture of the city and enjoy delicious foods in historic neighbourhoods, off the beaten track yet all within a stone's throw of the city centre.
Even if you think you know every part Dublin, our Tasting Trail will show you food outlets you've never noticed before.
Cost: €45.00 per person

From start to finish, the Annapolis 10-miler pushed me way past my comfort zone
The humid air carries a buzz of excitement as 4,585 people packed in the early morning shade of Navy Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on August 29 stretch their limbs in anticipation of the impending race. This 10-mile run is the culmination of my weeks of training through another hot, humid Annapolis summer. It's also the fulfillment of a goal I've had for years of watching the race from the sidelines — to be running on the other side of the fence.
With the autumnal equinox, that footwear comes to life
Labor Day has come and gone, but the celestial clock still reads summer. While our days are still longer than our nights, we have lost two hours 45 minutes of sunlight over the past three months. After this week, the hours of darkness each day will trump those of light.
An action film with a message fails to deliver either.
Danny Trejo (Predators) is a badass. His 20-year career is based on the fact that he is the most intimidating man in just about any room. Trejo's visceral presence inspired filmmaker Robert Rodriguez (Spy Kids) to make his frequent collaborator an action movie star. At 66, however, Trejo is rapidly moving from grizzled action hero to curmudgeon.
The Humane Society International successfully tests elephant contraception
In African game reserves, elephants were eating themselves out of house and home. So the Humane Society International found a way to control the growing elephant population in South African reserves without resorting to cruel practices: elephant contraception.
In the shift to shallow water, tackle makes the difference
Live-lining small Norfolk spot remains the surest bet for a limit of striped bass on the Chesapeake. But light-tackle lure fishing grows more exciting as our waters cools with September's chillier weather, when striped bass behavior changes.
There's a big difference between household vinegar and horticultural vinegar
A few years ago, I wrote about using horticultural vinegar to kill weeds. At a recent Deale Farmers' Market, a customer who bought peaches from me insisted that my recommendation to use vinegar does not kill weeds.
She even went to the trouble of boiling the vinegar, thinking she would be concentrating it. What she did not realize is that boiling vinegar dilutes the acetic acid, which is why vinegar gives off a strong odor when heated.
For Pride of Baltimore II, every vote counts
The Pride of Baltimore company's Pride II historic tall ship is sailing into the world of grants. The clipper ship is attempting to beat out 1,000 other candidates for a $50,000 grant from Pepsi.
Pride II wants the money for boating-safety courses to teach under-served students in American port cities. The grant will fund supplies and travel.
To pay for all that good work, Pride II needs your vote.
The new era begins now
In a decade or two, we might be hearing this conversation:
You know, fat oysters like that one you're eating used to be hunted in the wild, like the buffalo.
Like cowboys, Chesapeake watermen rode out on low-rise boats, even in the worst weather in the middle of winter, and scraped oysters from the bottom of Chesapeake Bay.

Stinky room
Posted Sep 4, 2012 on Hotels.comWe arrived late after 4 hours on the road and did not immediately notice the odor of vomit in the room as the a/c was on full blast. The odor was primarily in front of the couch and not by the beds. Too tired to move that night we changed rooms in the morning for our second nights stay. The second room was fine but the first one should never have been used until the odor was taken out.

Easy convience but rude people.
Posted Jul 17, 2012 on Hotels.comWe booked through hotels.com and requested to check in early. We had to be somewhere at 1 PM and needed a room to change into our clothes. Whwn we got to the hotel a little early, I was told that there were no available rooms The lady was extremely rude to me! She wouldn't even listen to me as I told her that we needed to change our clothes. After walking out, my husband went in and suddenly there was a room available. After that, the visit was much better. First impressions are everything and how that lady treated me was a horrible first impression. I would stay there again, but will now have my husband deal with it all. Room was nice. Location was good for all areas.

When I did check in, the elevator was very dirty and the carpet in the room had some debris left behind. The next day everything was much better. I guess everyone was busy the previous day, but all in all, a very nice hotel for the price.

- It might seem odd to travel to Cairo to enjoy Japanese culture, however this center part of the Japanese embassy is a great place to learn about all things Japanese. The center hosts lectures and movies on a regular basis, and offers various other media on Japan. Feature films, which usually start at 6p on Thursdays, are subtitled in Arabic and are preceded by a documentary. The centre can also assist visitors in finding a Japanese language tutor or lessons. Ticket prices vary.

Learn About Adaptive Driving
Understanding Your Needs
Before you purchase any adaptive equipment, Ford Motor Company recommends that you follow these steps to begin your driving independence.
- Assess your driving needs
- Enroll in a driver's education class
- Learn your state's driving laws
1. Evaluators can assess your driving needs.
DriverAssessment Centers can help select adaptive equipment for drivers and passengers with physical disabilities. Many are members of ADED, The Association for Driver Rehabilitation Specialists , have evaluators who are Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialists (CDRS). CDRS evaluators are driver educators and occupational therapists who have advanced training and specialized skills in driver rehabilitation. Call (877)529-1830 or visit www.aded.net for more information
To ensure that modifications and equipment are appropriate for your individual driving skills, obtain a driver evaluation from a Driver Assessment Center. During an evaluation, the evaluator will assess these three areas:
- Personal Skills: physical capabilities, mental acuity and cognition
- Behind-the-wheel skills: ability to drive with the recommended adaptive equipment
- Personal Adaptive Equipment: type of wheelchair, scooter, etc.
Once complete, you'll receive a copy of the evaluation and a "prescription" for the proper adaptive equipment. The Ford Mobility Motoring Program offers a Ford Mobility Resource Guide that lists Driver Assessment Centers for your reference. By entering your zip code, desired radius and by checking Assessment Center, you'll be provided with a list of Assessment Centers in your area.
2. Driver Rehab Specialists have specialized driver education classes.
Once your vehicle is modified, it's important to receive on and off-road training on how to use your adaptive equipment, even if you're an experienced driver. Contact your local Assessment Center for help in locating a facility, or reference the Ford Mobility Resource Guide .
3. Your state vehicle agency will provide information about driving with a disability.
State driving laws vary and you should check with your state motor vehicle agency to learn about requirements for driving with adaptive equipment and what steps are necessary to acquire a learner's permit or driver's license. Some states also require that changes in physical condition, which may effect driving, be reported. As for all drivers, failure to comply with state licensing laws can threaten your driving privileges.

Floyd Mayweather: "About to Take My Bugatti Veyron Out for a Spin"
text size: A- A+
He has a Rolls Royce Phantom, a Bentley Mulsanne and a 1996 600S Mercedes Benz, all white, all blingy.
However, even those amazing motors pale in comparison to the Bugatti Veyron he posted on Instagram this weekend. The thousand horsepower hypercar is a status symbol for rappers and athletes aline.
In other Bugatti news, did you guys check out Flo Rida's grotesque gold piece? That car got him in trouble a couple of years back when he had his license suspended for speeding and he had it chromed once as well.
Thankfully, Mayweather has given his toy that king of treatment.

Steve Mercado has been building his career, on the football field and off, bit by bit since he arrived at Lafayette College in the fall of 2012 from south Florida.
Off the field, the 6-foot-1, 282-pound sophomore starting defensive tackle has set his sights on a demanding career.
"I want to be an architect," Mercado said at Tuesday's weekly football media luncheon. "You can't major in architecture here, so I am majoring in art and minoring in architecture."
On the field, Mercado is already constructing substantial success. He went from not playing a single down as a freshman to becoming a major disruptive force on the Lafayette (1-5 overall, 1-0 Patriot League) front four.
"I really worked hard on the things I needed to get better at in the offseason," Mercado said. "It was a combination of getting stronger and getting faster. I hit a good stride when I stayed here over the summer, and (strength and conditioning coach Brad) Potts and (defensive line) coach (Ian) Dell really helped me."
Mercado has really helped the Leopard defense. He leads the team in forced fumbles (2.0), is second on the team in tackles for loss (5.0) and is tied for second in sacks (2.0) while having 18 tackles overall heading into Saturday's key Patriot League clash at Holy Cross (3-5, 1-1).
Mercado excels at getting penetration on running plays and, if not making the play, making the effort so some else can do so, in the way defensive linemen often do.
And Mercado learned from one of the best.
"Last year they had me paired up with (2012 first-team All-League pick Rick Lyster) as my mentor," Mercado said. "What I really learned from Rick was how to watch film and analyze film."
Mercado and his defensive friends will be watching tons of tape this week on the Crusaders' remarkable freshman quarterback Pete Pujals. Pujals is the first Patriot League player to win five straight Rookie of the Week awards and is on the 20-player watch list for the Jerry Rice Award given to the top freshman in the Football Championship Subdivision.
Pujals has completed 115 of 177 passes for 12 touchdowns and just two interceptions, while rushing for a team-leading 302 yards and six more TDs.
"We've already watched a lot of film on him," Mercado said. "We have to make sure our rush lines are right and contain him."
Mercado came to Lafayette from one of the scholastic football hotbeds of the nation. He is a graduate of North Fort Myers High School in Florida.
"We didn't win any championships when I was there because the competition was so good," Mercado said. "We were competitive with everybody else, though."
Mercado's high school has produced talent such as former West Virginia running back Noel Devine (now with the CFL's Montreal Alouettes) and New York Jets fullback Tommy Bohanon, as well as somebody else you may have heard of.
"Deion Sanders is huge in Fort Myers," said Mercado of the legendary Florida State player, who is inducted in the College Football and NFL Hall of Fames. "I have met Noel but not Deion. He's the only Hall of Famer from southwest Florida."
Mercado also credited his high school's art department for changing his academic career and focusing on architecture.
Now Mercado hopes he helps build a defense to stop Pujals and the Crusaders, following a rule of balance architects might well appreciate.
"We can't try and do too much but we can't wind up doing less, either," he said. "We just have to stay focused and not get too high when we make a good play and not too low when we make a bad one."

When I write documentation, or a tutorial or paper, for a piece of software I've written, I often find places where the design is difficult or embarrassing to explain, and that leads me to refine the program. Do you find something similar?
Al: Very much so. My experience with AWK had a profound impact on how I teach the programming languages and compilers course at Columbia. As part of the course there is a semester-long project in which students work in teams of five to create their own little language and build a compiler for it.

This place cost approximately $2 AUD to get in. It does not take a long time but is a great brief first glimpse into the history of the Vietnam war and what happened when people were arrested during this time.
Great museum for a quick visit and probably one of the Must visits in Hanoi (along with the Mausoleum). It was well laid out and organized. The information and exhibits were well explained. I do wish there was more information on the Vietnam War days and how the prison was used.
The prison was very well kept. You could see the cells and there were many artifacts. It was very interesting to see the spin on how things happened...The scrap book with the American POWs was very interesting. I would've enjoyed seeing how many came in vice how many did not make it out. Having Senator McCains book highlighted with his... More
The prison is now a decently interesting museum. Most of it was torn down to make way for a skyscraper that went up next door. So, if you take a look up from the courtyard of the prison you will be gifted to see a car park. The museum itself is rather meager. There are much better museums in South... More
Before my trip to the prison, I new very little of Viet Nam culture or war history. The prison was an eye opener. I have been alone and with a tour guide, the tour guide will surely help to decipher the time period you are learning about, and make sure you do not miss anything. The gift shop is a... More
Value for money - you get to see where the prisioners were kept. The site is worth the money you pay for as opposed to the History museum. The presentation was very good and there is a structure to this place. It might be worth reading up a little bit about the histroy before you visit.
This is a hard prison to visit but well worth it. Unfortunately the men's part of the prison has been torn down for a high rise, but the is still plenty left to see. Well done, and excellent descriptions of prison life. Eerie in a way with life size people in some cells. Lots of memorabilia.
If you are interested in Vietnam war history this is a good place to go. We thought the presentation was quite good. I almost found it more interesting then the war history museum in Hanoi. Thought it was a pretty moving place and there was enough English interpretation to understand the stories. Worthwhile to visit.
This was better than I expected. The descriptions were well done. There was history from pre Vietnam war (interesting) and also a lot about the prisoners from the US during the war. It's distressing but not horribly disturbing so you aren't a total wreck at the end.

Given that we're on the cusp of the holidays and a shload of big, heavy, spicy beers will be invading our bottle shops and our lives, I thought it'd be helpful to remind us all that, though the seasons for beer may change, there are plenty of "go-to" beer styles that are timeless and will work for you any time of year.
Beer reviews for Hoppers Stein Knocker, Bohemian Oktoberfesrt and Ayinger Oktoberfest-Märzen.
September is a weird month for beer. The weather is still relatively warm, but autumn is right around the corner.
In July's beer issue, we left the Beehive Brew Off in their preparations for year Number Five of their annual homebrew competition. With all entries submitted and loose ends tied, last Saturday, Aug. 3, and Sunday, Aug. 4, marked judgment day for the 253 contestants and 598 beer entries of 2013.
I don't have to tell you all that it's been a brutally hot summer. As we enter the most intense part of the summer's heat, you may think it's time to push aside the more flavorful beers in your arsenal in lieu of lighter, more "refreshing" beers. You could do this, but why sacrifice taste when you can have your beer and drink it, too?
Originally started in Oregon, Barley's Angels is an international society dedicated to women who are passionate about craft beer. The organization allows women from any corner of the globe to begin their own chapter of the brand, and that's exactly what Alexandra Ortiz de Fargher of Park City did. Having already been well initiated into the craft beer scene (her husband, Trent Fargher, is the owner and founder of Shades of Pale Brewing Company) Ortiz de Fargher wanted to start her own craft beer adventure. She and all the members of Barley's Angels are dedicated to several philosophies: overturning the idea that beer is only a man's drink, and convincing women who have written off beer as a bitter, tinny and cheap substitute for wine or spirits that they just haven't met the right beer yet.
The story of the Hop Bombshells begins with a talented woman looking for her kind. Jamie Burnham is the manager of Salt Lake homebrewing institution The Beer Nut, and a little over a year ago, she got the spark of an idea from her assistant, Dave Watson, that maybe the lady patrons of her store would enjoy being part of a club where the craft and creativity of beer making could thrive. She put the idea out to her female customers who came to pick up supplies, and received an overwhelmingly positive response. After collecting names and emails, and admittedly "dragging [her] feet for a few months," she put together the Hop Bombshells, a club exclusively for the fairer sex of homebrewers.
Paying homage to our state's extravagant Pioneer Day celebrations, we asked some local pioneer foodies to pair an appropriate menu item from their establishment with a favorite local beer available in the bottle, or on-tap inside the restaurant. Make it a merry Pie & Beer Day on July 24 by stuffing your bonnets to the brim with these tasty meals.
When I reached the legal drinking age, I joked about aspiring to have a beer gut. I have always been a real scrawny guy with the metabolism of a hummingbird, so I figured I'd never consume enough beer to develop any visible bulge in my midsection. Half a dozen years later, the Utah craft beer scene directly correlates with my budding beer belly. Always eager to try new booze, the Kirkland brothers hit the road to see what's brewing out in the desert of eastern Utah, on the edge of the Great Salt Lake and up the hill in the Avenues.
People have considered "Utah beer" to be an oxymoron for many years, yet the craft-brewing scene here has evolved into a multi-faceted marketplace. Leading the charge are the home brewers. Jamie Burnham, manager of Salt Lake City's The Beer Nut, saw a break in the clouds as an opportunity to capitalize on the uniting power of beer—in August of 2009, the first annual Beehive Brew-off was held, with over 300 entries being judged. It was a testament to the pent-up creativity that had been lying in wait, ready to be released upon the world.

An exhibition featuring the photography of George Tuck, retired professor of photojournalism, is on display through Jan. 31 in the East Union's Loft Gallery.
The show features select photos from Tuck's "Flat Places and Interesting People" exhibition.
During a semester-long sabbatical in 1998, Tuck drove more than 10,000 miles through the Great Plains shooting photos for "Flat Places and Interesting People." The exhibit — which debuted in UNL's Great Plains Art Museum — featured 90 photos. "Flat Places" has shown in the U.S. Consulate in St. Petersburg, Russia; Midland College in Midland, Texas; Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas; Panhandle Plains Museum in Canyon, Texas; and in Tuck's hometown of Dumas, Texas.
The complete series is a part of the Great Plains Museum's permanent collection.

The Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery offer guided tours of the cemetery every Sunday afternoon from the beginning of March to the end of October,and the first and third Sunday of the month in November, December, January and February. Every tour provides an introduction to Kensal Green, its history, architecture and development, and to some of the many famous (and infamous) figures buried within this great necropolis. The first of a new series of Saturday morning tours for the public launches on 5 October 2013, starting at 11:00 from the steps of the Anglican Chapel. The cemetery is directly north of Portobello Road Market, with the Main Gate on Harrow Road and a side entrance on Ladbroke Grove. Buses 23, 52, 70, 228 and 452 run between Ladbroke Grove station at the western end of the market, and the bus hub outside the Ladbroke Grove Sainsbury's; the cemetery is on the far side of the canal. On the first and third Sunday of every month, the tour usually includes a visit to the catacomb beneath the Anglican Chapel: however, following condition surveys in preparation for the complete restoration of the Anglican Chapel complex, catacomb tours are temporarily suspended, but all tours now visit the small catacomb beneath the Dissenters' Chapel. All tours begin at 14.00 from the steps of the Anglican Chapel, at the centre of the cemetery, so please allow at least ten minutes to walk from either of the two gates. To support the work of The Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery, we request a donation of £7.00 per person (£5.00 concessions and members of English Heritage). There is no need to book on the regular Sunday tours, unless you are planning to bring a group of more than ten. Tours last for about two hours, and usually conclude with tea and biscuits at the Dissenters' Chapel, where the Friends' bookstall offers a selection of guidebooks and other publications, as well as postcards and badges. Tours are offered in all weathers, so please wear appropriate outdoor clothing and walking shoes. Tours proceed at a leisurely pace, and keep to the safest paths, but visitors who have difficulty walking on uneven ground are advised to use their discretion. The catacomb is only accessible by stair, and is not suitable for children under the age of 12. All tours are led by volunteers from Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery, many of whom are professional guides and lecturers. There is no standard tour, so no two visits are ever quite the same. Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery may join the weekly tour as often as they like, at no charge. Please note that, as the catacombs were conceived as exclusive sites for private interment, photography is not permitted in the catacomb, and visitors are asked not to record the tour except for reference, with the express permission of the guide.All photographers are expected to treat the landscape and monuments with care and respect. Formal permission from the General Cemetery Company is required for all commercial photography, for filming and recording of any kind (including social media, podcasting and Webcasting), and for photography or filming with models, amateur or professional. Please contact the General Cemetery Company directly for information. |

RATIONALE: Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vinorelbine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving lapatinib together with vinorelbine may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of lapatinib and vinorelbine in treating women with HER2-overexpressing locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |

Drug: lapatinib ditosylate Drug: vinorelbine tartrate |
Phase 1 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Phase I Study Evaluating the Combination of Lapatinib + Vinorelbine in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer Overexpressing HER2 |
- Toxicity as assessed by NCI CTCAE v3.0 [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Pharmacokinetic interactions between vinorelbine ditartrate (oral or IV) and lapatinib ditosylate [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Tumor response as assessed by RECIST criteria after every 2 courses [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Estimated Enrollment: | 60 |
Study Start Date: | June 2007 |
- Evaluate the tolerability and feasibility of the lapatinib ditosylate and vinorelbine ditartrate combination by determining the maximum tolerated dose of vinorelbine ditartrate in combination with a biologically active dose of lapatinib ditosylate.
- Determine the maximum administered dose.
- Investigate the pharmacokinetic interactions related to the combination of vinorelbine ditartrate and lapatinib ditosylate.
- Determine the toxicity of vinorelbine ditartrate and lapatinib ditosylate.
- Determine the objective response rate in patients with measurable lesions.
- Validate the safety and efficacy of the oral vinorelbine ditartrate and lapatinib ditosylate combination, according to the vinorelbine ditartrate oral/IV dose equivalence.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study.
Patients receive oral lapatinib ditosylate on days -7 to 21 for course 1 and on days 1-21 for all other courses. Patients also receive vinorelbine ditartrate IV over 15 minutes on days 1 and 8. Courses repeat every 21 days for up to 12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-9 patients receive escalating doses of lapatinib ditosylate and vinorelbine ditartrate until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 9 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity during course 1.
Once the MTD is determined for oral lapatinib ditosylate and IV vinorelbine ditartrate, an additional cohort of 9 patients receive oral vinorelbine ditartrate with oral lapatinib ditosylate as above.

May 6, 2013 Patients with prostate cancer that has metastasized, or spread, to other parts of the body face a significantly higher risk of dying when visiting a hospital emergency department on the weekend instead of on a weekday, according to researchers at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.
The new study focused on metastatic prostate cancer in examining the so-called "weekend effect" of higher patient mortality, subject of numerous studies for about a decade.
Results from the study will be presented May 5 at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association in San Diego.
Khurshid R. Ghani, M.D., of Henry Ford's Vattikuti Urology Institute and lead author of the study, said he and his colleagues can only speculate on the reasons why this phenomenon appears to affect metastatic prostate cancer patients.
"Our data clearly show they have higher mortality rates after weekend visits to emergency departments," Dr. Ghani says. "But as to why, there is only a suggestion that they're more likely being treated at hospitals outside of metropolitan areas, places that may have limited access to advanced care."
The researchers identified their study group -- metastatic prostate cancer patients who visited emergency rooms from the beginning of 2006 through the end of 2009 -- in the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample, the largest such database in the U.S., approximating about 20 percent of hospital-based emergency departments across the country.
Of the 15,365 men in this group, 3,943 made weekend visits to emergency departments and 11,422 went on weekdays. A total of 8.1 percent in the weekend group died after their visit, compared to 7.7 percent after a weekday visit.
The data also showed that patients seen on the weekend were:
- Older, with a mean age of 75.1 versus 74.1.
- Healthier, having fewer additional diseases or disorders.
- More likely to visit a non-metropolitan hospital, 19.5 percent versus 14.1 percent.
- Less likely to be suffering acute renal failure, 14.7 percent versus 16.6 percent.
- More likely to have blood in their urine, 18.8 percent versus 17.2 percent.
"After adjusting for age and the presence of disease or disorders other than metastatic prostate cancer, weekend visits were associated with a 23 percent increased likelihood of death," Dr. Ghani says.

Water Works
Cynthia Barnett, Orion
ON A WINTER'S DAY in Seattle, a leaden monotony hangs over the Central Business District, dispiriting to this part of downtown. Contrary to reputation, the urban pallor is not born of rain, which falls almost imperceptibly from silvery clouds that match the nearby waters of Puget Sound. Rather, the gloom rises from the cement hardscape. The busy streets are paved dark gray, the wide sidewalks beside them light gray. The skyscrapers rise in shades of gray. The hulking freeways, ramps, and overpasses: gray. The monorail track and its elephantine pillars: gray.
Trudge the sidewalks northwest to Seattle's Belltown neighborhood, hang a left on Vine Street toward the sound, and a ten-foot-tall, bright blue rain tank pops from the dullness, tipped whimsically toward a red brick office building. Atop the tank, green pipes in the shape of fingers and a thumb reach out, the stretched index finger connected to a downspout from the rooftop. Rainwater flows from roof to finger to palm to thumb, from which it pours to a series of descending basins built between the sidewalk and the street. They, in turn, cascade to landscaped wedges growing thick with woodland plants. For two blocks, as Vine slopes toward the sound, water trickles down a runnel and through street-side planters, shining stones, and stepped terraces, enlivening the roadway with greenery, public sculpture, and the sounds of falling water.
The project, called Growing Vine Street, began as a small, grassroots effort among residents and property owners to turn their stretch of a former industrial neighborhood into an urban watershed. Twenty years later, it is a big part of the answer to the largest single source of pollution fouling Puget Sound and most of the major bays and freshwater ecosystems of the United States—stormwater.
The gray shellac of a city repels more than the imagination. When rain flows along streets, parking lots, and rooftops rather than percolating into the ground, it soaks up toxic metals, oil and grease, pesticides and herbicides, feces, and every other scourge that can make its way to a gutter...
Returning some of nature's hydrology to the cityscape can make an enormous difference —or could—as more individuals, businesses, and neighborhoods remake their bit of the terra firma. Washington State University scientists have found that streets with rain gardens clean up 90 percent or more of the pollutants flowing through on their way to the sound...
In the parlance of water professionals, projects like Growing Vine Street are known as "green infrastructure." But the term does not do justice to the larger water revolution it represents. Across the nation, antiquated infrastructure like Seattle's, swelling populations, and weather extremes are stressing our triplicate freshwater, stormwater, and wastewater systems like never before. Industry groups such as the American Society of Civil Engineers, American Water Works Association, National Association of Water Companies, and U.S. Chamber of Commerce repeat the mantra that the nation's water systems are some of the oldest, most overused, and most seriously failing of all America's infrastructure—worse off than the nation's bridges. The EPA estimates that repairing, replacing, and upgrading these aging water systems will cost between $300 billion and $1 trillion over the next two decades...
IN 1878, a sanitary engineer named George E. Waring Jr. ranted in The American Architect about the nation's sudden craze for faucets on every bowl and washbasin. The demand for freshwater pipes coming into homes, waste pipes going out, and the luxury of hot and cold was so intense, plumbers were rushing jobs, busting pipes, and causing boiler accidents, in some cases scaring homeowners back to sponge baths.
"In our desire to save labor so far as possible, to procure in our houses the luxury of abundant water without the task of carrying it in and out by hand, and to provide, even for those classes of society which are little given to luxuries, the untold convenience of a free tap of water at every point, we have carried the possibilities of the industry to its utmost limit," he warned...
SEATTLE WAS AMONG the first major American cities to accept that it had hit the limit. The Emerald City taps a clear mountain river called the Cedar, and a smaller river, the Tolt, to quench the thirst of 1.4 million urbanites and corporate giants from Amazon to Microsoft. The Cedar River begins in the cloud-laced foothills of the Cascade Range, flows forty-five miles south to Seattle's iconic Lake Washington, and ultimately to Puget Sound. Seattle's leaders had the foresight to begin buying up the river's watershed for drinking water in the late 1800s; over a century, they'd preserved more than ninety thousand acres. At the upper reaches of the watershed, snowpack collects in winter, then fills the city's reservoirs for the dry summer. At the lower end, the Landsburg Dam diverts the river for drinking water.
Beginning in the 1960s, Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) officials were convinced the system could not meet the demands of a fast-growing population that, like most of America, used water as if it were abundant as air. While many cities faced one water anxiety or another—dwindling supply, looming infrastructure costs, flooding, sewage and stormwater overflows—Seattle, its original waterworks so old it had been built with wooden stave pipes, faced all of those and more...

New Mexico is the driest of the dry
Julie Cart, LA Times
Scientists in the West have a particular way of walking a landscape and divining its secrets: They kick a toe into loamy soil or drag a boot heel across the desert's crust, leaning down to squint at the tiny excavation.
Try that maneuver in New Mexico these days and it yields nothing but bad news in a puff of dust.
Across the West, changes in the climate are taking a toll. Almost 87% of the region is in a drought.
Nevada is removing wild horses and stocks of cattle from federal rangelands, Wyoming is seeding clouds as part of a long-term "weather modification program," officials in Colorado say the state's southeastern plains are experiencing Dust Bowl conditions, and the entire western U.S. has been beset by more frequent and ferocious wildfires across an ever-more combustible landscape.
But nowhere is it worse than in New Mexico. In this parched state, the question is no longer how much worse it can get but whether it will ever get better — and, ominously, whether collapsing ecosystems can recover even if it does...

Water shortages loom in Southwest, could trigger cuts
Bob Berwyn, MSN News
Water levels in the Colorado River Basin could drop to levels that require cutting water deliveries to California, Arizona and Nevada.
Resource managers in the Colorado River Basin are preparing for an unprecedented scenario: By next year, water in Lake Powell is likely to drop to a level that will trigger mandatory cuts in water deliveries to California, Arizona and Nevada.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation will release a 24-month projection for Lake Powell storage levels in early August. Those numbers will help determine whether cutbacks kick in, but some water managers in the basin are already preparing for the worst...

Wells Are Running Dry In Parts Of Kansas
Frank Morris, All Things Considered - npr
Imagine enough water to fill a couple of Great Lakes, but spread under some of the driest parts of eight Western states. That was the High Plains Aquifer 60 years ago.
But now, Nate Pike, whose been riding the dry rolling ranch lands south of Dodge City, Kan., for most of his 80 years, can't even go fishing at his favorite spring called St. Jacob's Well.
"And that thing had a lot of water in it. It never went down, never changed," he says. "But as you can see now, I can't believe I can't see the water from up here."
Pike blames it on new pumping and irrigation systems. These tools made it easy for farmers to extract billions of gallons from it, and use it to grow lucrative crops on the arid land. An agricultural gold rush of sorts followed, transforming the regional economy, but also drying up wells...

References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (5)Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0393311309, Paperback)"Riveting. . . . A thoughtful biography." —New York Times Book Review General Joseph E. Johnston was in command of Confederate forces at the South's first victory—Manassas in July 1861—and at its last—Bentonville in April 1965. Many of his contemporaries considered him the greatest southern field commander of the war; others ranked him second only to Robert E. Lee.But Johnston was an enigmatic man. His battlefield victories were never decisive. He failed to save Confederate forces under siege by Grant at Vicksburg, and he retreated into Georgia in the face of Sherman's march. His intense feud with Jefferson Davis ensured the collapse of the Confederacy's western campaign in 1864 and made Johnston the focus of a political schism within the government. Now in this rousing narrative of Johnston's dramatic career, Craig L. Symonds gives us the first rounded portrait of the general as a public and private man.

1) YES, WP8 DOES support WMA Lossless. I tested this hard just to be sure. I synced a couple of WMA Lossless files on Windows 7 through Zune and the Windows Phone software. I had created two WMA Lossless files: one in 16-bit 44kHz format, and another in 24-bit 96kHz format. BOTH of these songs played flawlessly on the Nokia 920.
Now, I then suspected that the Windows Phone software used to actually sync the media files might have converted the song files (as the Zune software would do with WP7.x). So, I removed the files from the phone, and then copied them directly to the phone through the USB drive access from Windows 7. Again, both songs played perfectly.
2) One question I've had is whether the phone will present itself as a USB drive to NON-WINDOWS machines. The answer to this question is very elusive, as all of the quotes from Microsoft imply that this only works when connected to Win8, 7, Vista or XP. Anyway, I connected the Nokia 920 to a 2009 BMW via USB cable. This BMW can read USB thumb drives and play music off of them. It immediately recognized the Nokia 920 as a USB drive, and was able to play the podcasts and music stored on the 920. So, yes, WP8 does present the files as a USB drive to other devices, too (not just PC's)!
Hope this info helps anyone who is looking for answers to the above.Thanked by: - 11-11-2012, 09:59 AM #2
I answered you a few days ago in your original post that WP8 did indeed play wma lossless.

I connected my wp7.8 to my wife's Macbook but it was not recognised. I then downloaded the wp app from itunes and got a message saying it could see the phone but couldn't connect. It advised to remove the usb cable and reconnect it. Not only did it connect to the phone but correctly identified the make and model (HTC Radar 110e) and not just a usb drive. She was then able to drag and drop the tracks she wanted from her Macbook to the phone.
