Designed by 1992 Masters champion Fred Couples, San Juan Oaks Golf Club showcases an 18-hole course that arches across 7,133 yards of San Juan Valley terrain. On the front nine, golfers test their mettle at one of Freddy's favorite holes, the 204-yard, par-3 sixth hole, where tee shots must speed through swirling winds and trees wielding catchers' mitts to land on a green guarded by oak and eucalyptus trees. The back nine rolls through the valley's foothills, regaling golfers with frequent elevation changes and back-to-back tees—at 16 and 17—that offer stunning views of the surrounding area. The course frequently draws top-flight golfers and is a Stage-One site of the PGA Tour's Qualifying School.
Before taking to the first tee, golfers can warm up at the club's practice facilities, which include a 15-acre, all-grass driving range, a 10,000-square-foot putting green, and an area for chipping and bunker shots. Elegant, high-beamed ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace await golfers and underfed 9-irons at the restaurant, which serves breakfast and lunch.
Course at a Glance:
Blue Water Ventures owner and naturalist Kim Powell and her trained staff of naturalists lead adventurous groups on tours of trails and waterways from the East Bay of California to San Jose's Elkhorn Slough, exploring caves, forests, and wildlife-rich areas on the way. On protected Elkhorn Slough, groups of up to 20 make their way on stable kayaks as their attentive tour guides give rich history of the area and point out wildlife including seals and sea otters. In Florida's Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge, groups snorkel and canoe to observe wild west indian manatees and their notorious poker habits.
The company also does specialty tours for school groups that include tide-pooling adventures and trekking through a redwood forest to see some of the country's oldest trees. Tours for women-only groups include private cruises where ladies can spy whales and a variety of seaborne wildlife, including fish, dolphins, and long-lost swim fins.

Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone With or Without Bortezomib in Treating Patients With Previously Untreated Multiple Myeloma
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This randomized phase III trial is studying giving lenalidomide and dexamethasone together with bortezomib to see how well it works compared to dexamethasone and lenalidomide alone in treating patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the cancer. It is not yet known whether lenalidomide and dexamethasone is more effective with or without bortezomib in treating multiple myeloma.

Detailed Description:
I. To compare progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with newly diagnosed myeloma treated with lenalidomide plus low dose dexamethasone versus bortezomib plus lenalidomide and low dose dexamethasone.
I. Assess response using the new international response criteria. II. To bank specimens for future translational medicine research. III. Follow patients to assess overall survival and other long-term outcomes stratified by intent to transplant at progression.
I. To evaluate custom and genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms in correlation with biology, prognosis and outcome for both treatment regimens combined. To verify the findings recently obtained with the custom BOAC SNP chip on TT2 data with respect to bone disease in the cooperative group setting.
II. To use baseline gene expression profiling as a tool to evaluate the biology, prognostic and risk factors, and response to therapy for both treatment regimens combined. To validate John Shaughnessy's 70 gene risk model developed for Total Therapy 2 (TT2) in the cooperative group setting.
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to the International Staging System (I vs II vs III) and intent to undergo transplantation at relapse (yes vs no).
INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I: Patients receive dexamethasone orally (PO) once daily on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 and lenalidomide PO once daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM II: Patients receive dexamethasone PO once daily on days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, and 12; lenalidomide PO once daily on days 1-14; and bortezomib intravenously (IV) over 3-5 seconds on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
In both arms, patients who intend to undergo transplantation at relapse undergo peripheral blood stem cell collection, preferably after course 2.
MAINTENANCE THERAPY: After the completion of at least 4 courses (arm I) or at least 6 courses (arm II) of induction therapy, patients receive maintenance therapy comprising dexamethasone PO once daily on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 and lenalidomide PO once daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients undergo bone marrow biopsy at baseline and periodically during study for correlative studies. Patients may also undergo blood sample collection.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 6 years.

I personally never had problems with them, may not be comparable with the CTS, but are good pots.
As usual Stew Mac sent my order promptly and it replaced the old one perfectly
I used these pots on a Fender Stratocaster that had corrosion on the originals.The fit was perfect , operation is flawless, and the guitar works like brand new. Price is unbeatable. Great value.
I used Alpha long shaft pots in a used bass that O found in a pawn shop recently. They are very responsive with out breaking the bank. Good product!!!!!
Like the others below, not much more to say. Will buy again.
I grabbed three audio taper 250k pots for a SSS strat. Everything wired up and worked as expected. No noise, no complaints - will order again if needed.
The pots worked great. Not much to say... nice taper, smooth turning... Overall worked great.
Used these on an upgrade......smooth as silk!
These are great pots. They hold together well and don't feel flimsy or cheap. One irksome thing about them is that I always seem to have problems getting solder to adhere to the casing.
Questi potenziometri sono ottimi... Utilizzo spesso quelli da 1 MOhm... Sono affidabili e precisi.

Because of ongoing differences of opinion regarding the delimitation of genera, none based on explicit phylogenetic hypotheses, in this catalog all taxa recognized at generic rank by some authors are recognized here as genera. Rao and Yang, 1997, Asiat. Herpetol. Res., 7: 92-102, discussed karyology and phylogenetic relationships. Lathrop, 1997, Asiat. Herpetol. Res., 7: 68-79, and Haas, 2003, Cladistics, 19: 23-89, discussed relationships within Pelobatoidea and suggested that Megophryidae is the sister taxon of Pelobatidae and regarded them as subfamilies of Pelobatidae. Maglia, 1998, Sci. Pap. Nat. Hist. Mus. Univ. Kansas, 10: 1-19, suggested a relationship of (((Pelobatidae) (Pelodytidae)) Megophryidae). Dubois and Ohler, 1998, Dumerilia, 4: 1-32, discussed the classification of this taxon (ranked as a subfamily, Megophryinae, by Dubois and Ohler). Xie and Wang, 2000, Cultum Herpetol. Sinica, 8: 356-370, reviewed the taxonomy of this group (as part of Pelobatidae). Xu, 2005, Sichuan J. Zool., 24: 337-339, discussed karyotypes in Megophryidae and made taxonomic suggestions. Manthey and Grossmann, 1997, Amph. Rept. Südostasiens: 68-82, provided accounts and identification table for the species of the Sunda Shelf region. Anders, 2002, in Schleich and Kästle (eds.), Amph. Rept. Nepal: 163-181, provided a key and accounts for the species in Nepal. Dubois, 2005, Alytes, 23: 8, considered Megophryidae to be a subfamily of Pelobatidae, containing two tribes, Leptobrachiini and Megophryini. Li and Hu, 2005, Herpetol. Sinica, 10: 359-368, reported on karyological diversification within Megophryidae. Frost, Grant, Faivovich, Bain, Haas, Haddad, de Sá, Channing, Wilkinson, Donnellan, Raxworthy, Campbell, Blotto, Moler, Drewes, Nussbaum, Lynch, Green, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 297, provided taxonomic history and a partial phylogenetic analysis and rejected subfamilies, although they did note that the clade (former Megophryinae) composed of Atympanophrys, Brachytarsophrys, Megophrys, Ophryophryne, and Xenophrys is presumably monophyletic. Delorme, Dubois, Grosjean, and Ohler, 2006, Alytes, 24: 6-21, provided a working taxonomy of the group based on a number of lines of previously published evidence, in which they formulated a system of generally paired taxa, one diagnosed on apomorphies, one on plesiomorphies. While this taxonomy does provide "chunks" to discuss these units, the plesiomorphic units should be used with caution (DRF). The system proposed is of three subfamilies: Leptobrachiinae (diagnosed on plesiomorphies shared with Megophryidae); Leptolalaginae (Leptobrachella, Leptolalax); and Megophryinae (containing Megophryini and Xenophryini [diagnosed on plesiomorphies shared with Megophryinae]). Within the aggregate Leptobrachiinae (= Megophryidae that are not members of Leptolalaginae and Megophryinae), two tribes are recognized, both suggested to be based on apomorphies: Leptobatrachiini (Leptobrachium) and Oreolalagini (Oreolalax and Scutiger). Within Megophryinae the tribe Megophryini (Borneophrys, Brachytarsophrys, and Megophrys) is suggested to rest on apomorphies, while Xenophryini (Ophryophryne + Xenophrys [which is also based on plesiomorphes, rendering it diagnostically equivalent to Megophryinae]) is based solely on characters primitive for Megophryinae. See other comments in the relevant generic records. Li, Guo, and Wang, 2011, Curr. Zool., Chengdu, 57: 93100, provided a molecular analysis of Chinese species that suggested that Xenophrys is strongly paraphyletic with respect to at least Atympanophrys, Brachytarsophrys, and Ophryophryne (Megophrys sensu stricto not studied). The result is that any attempt to make Xenophrys monophyletic by use of synonymy with other megophryine genera will like require lumping all Megophryinae into one genus (for which the oldest name is Megophrys). Fu, Weadick, and Bi, 2007, J. Zool., London, 273: 315-325, reported on the molecular phylogenetics of Leptobrachium, Vibrissaphora, Oreolalax, and Scutiger, as did Rao and Wilkinson, 2008, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 46: 61-73, with denser taxon sampling and more data. Brown, Siler, Diesmos, and Alcala, 2010 "2009", Herpetol. Monogr., 23: 1-44, reported on molecular phylogenetics of Leptobrachium and additional provided evidence that the taxonomic arrangement of Delorme et al., 2006, is poorly correlated with phylogeny. Vitt and Caldwell, 2009, Herpetology, 3rd Ed.: 443, provided a general taxonomic account and map as part of a much more general and extensive overview of amphibian biology. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, in their study of Genbank sequences confirmed the position of Megophryidae being the sister taxon of Pelobatidae and otherwise provided the best data-based estimate of phylogeny to date. Blackburn and Wake, 2011, In Zhang (ed.), Zootaxa, 3148, 3148: 39-55, discussed briefly the taxonomic history of the group.

Helsinki, The Circus, 2nd of November with Trivium, UABB & Caliban
Okay, I don't know if these messages or posts actually reach the band, but I have to write this anyway. You are coming to Finland next month, which means that this is the gig of a lifetime, especially because you're coming with Trivium and Upon a Burning Body and let's not forget Caliban! AILD, Trivium and UABB are three of my favorite bands at this moment, and each band has just released a new album and they are all FUCKING BRUTAL! \,,/ I've seen Trivium once with In Flames, and I have seen Caliban a few times here in Finland, I've also seen AILD once in Nosturi, I've never seen UABB, but my god do I want to! All of these gigs were fucking beast, and I want to see you guys again. Anyways, there is just this minor problem, people under the age of 18 are not allowed in. This annoyes me even more, because if the gig would be 2-3 months later I would be 18! So I'm missing out on the most amazing gig, just because it's thrown in The Circus, and perhaps for some other reasons. Anyway, I just wanted to share my disappointment but also to let you know, THAT YOU HAVE SOME KICKASS FANS HERE IN FINLAND TOO! Keep it metal, you guys know how to keep metalcore alive and well. Have a kickass show and KNOCK THE SHIT OUT OF HELSINKI in November! I'm sorry I can't be there headbanging and going nuts, but I'm sure my finnish metalhead brothers will take care of that.

HIV Testing Goes Mobile In Rural South Africa
July 24, 2012 Nearly 1 in 5 South Africans is infected with HIV. But many of them don't know it. The lack of information hinders treatment and also enables the spread of HIV. To close the gap, some groups are taking HIV testing door to door.

U.S. AIDS Cases Come Into View
July 23, 2012 The first reports of AIDS were from Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco among gay and bisexual men. Even now, you can see the lingering geographic contours of how the epidemic unfolded with AIDSVu, an interactive map developed by Emory University's school of public health.

AIDS Returns To The U.S. Spotlight
July 23, 2012 The leading international AIDS conference returns to the U.S. after a 22-year hiatus. A lot has happened in the years since the conference was last here.

And there is evidence that the epidemic could be greatly slowed or even stopped.

San Francisco Thwarts HIV With Wide Testing, Universal Treatment
July 23, 2012 A new approach in San Francisco provides HIV testing and treatment for patients with the virus who didn't know they were at risk. "Test and treat" requires long-term vigilance by doctors and patients, but early evidence suggests that it is reducing HIV in the city.
Testing, Treatment Key Weapons In AIDS Fight
July 22, 2012 The International AIDS Conference is being held this week in Washington, D.C. HIV infection in the host city is the highest in the nation.

After Years Lost, South Africa Rejuvenates HIV Plan
July 22, 2012 The country has the largest HIV epidemic in the world, and it's also had one of the most conflicted responses to the virus. For years, the government questioned the link between HIV and AIDS and offered little by way of treatment. Now, South Africa is trying to make up for lost time.

Timeline: Key Moments In The Fight Against HIV/AIDS
July 21, 2012 In the 1980s, HIV/AIDS swept across the globe. It soon reached pandemic proportions. In the three decades since, advances in drug therapies have transformed the disease from a death sentence to a chronic illness. In recent years, public health officials have embraced the idea of "test and treat" – that everyone who has HIV should know it and get into treatment right away. With new drug regimens that can reduce the amount of HIV in the blood to undetectable levels, researchers now believe they can halt the spread of HIV and end the pandemic.

Despite his firm defense of his call that the U.S. economy entered into another recession in July this year, Lakshman Achuthan of the Economic Cycle Research Institute (ECRI) continued to be scorned by his critics.
But his call was shown to be on the mark when the National Federation of Independent Business issued its Optimism Index today and noted that it decreased an astonishing 5.6 points to 87.5, the lowest reading since March of 2010 and the biggest monthly drop going back to 1986.

NBA AM: Bobcats' Frustrations Running High
After reaching the postseason for the first time in franchise history during the 2010 campaign, the Charlotte Bobcats found themselves in one of the NBA's proverbial dead zones – the middle of the pack.
Armed with enough talent to perennially compete for the Eastern Conference's last two playoff seeds, but nowhere close to the level of seriously contending for league (or conference) supremacy, the Bobcats had a decision to make: be content with first round postseason ousters or usher in a lengthy rebuilding process in an attempt to construct a true contender.
The Bobcats chose the the latter, and not surprisingly to most observers the losses have quickly started to pile up. The team currently sports the second-worst record in the league at the quarter mark of the season.
While most predicted this type of start for the rebuilding Bobcats their players, namely guard Gerald Henderson, didn't get the memo and his frustrations with the losses have taken its toll early on and he believes the team needs to play harder.
"There are a number of things we need to get better at," Henderson told HOOPSWORLD. "But I think we need to play a bit harder, be a little more precise on both ends of the floor and stay together. We're going through a tough stretch, so we need to be improving every game. When you're losing you can't continue to lose by thirty."
Seven of the Bobcats' twelve losses to start the season have been by 10 points or more, with four of those contests by margins of more than twenty points.
A miraculous turnaround this season isn't likely.
Gone are former Bobcats veterans who possessed All-Star caliber talent such as Gerald Wallace, Stephen Jackson and Raymond Felton, who might have bailed out this young team.
Now the onus falls on guys like Henderson, a third-year player, to provide leadership and be a source of consistency for a core of younger players.
Despite where most predicted the team to finish this season part of Henderson's frustrations with the squad's early performance has been the lack of consistency and effort.
Henderson firmly believes the team is much better than their win-loss record indicates.
"I don't feel pressure," Henderson said about adjusting to his role as a team leader. "I feel like we have a good group of guys that when we do what we're supposed to be doing we're really good. It's just all about consistency, discipline and really caring about winning. Myself, I just try to lead by example and play as hard as I can every night. Hopefully the rest of the team does the same thing."
The league's condensed schedule, due to the lockout, severely limits practice time which ultimately impacts younger squads who are looking to establish their identities the hardest.
While Henderson didn't want to use the compact schedule as an excuse, he did concede it is indeed playing a major role in the team's struggles.
"I like to say that it's not but practice is important," Henderson told HOOPSWORLD. "You play so many games you just have to pick up things on the fly. You need to watch a lot of tape. It's more mental improvement, picking up on things fast. We have some young guys so it may take some time for specific things to change around here but you know if we want to win that's what we have to do. Everybody else has the same schedule so we have to do it."
Byron Mullens Seeking A Little Payback On OKC: For the past two seasons center Byron Mullens was a seldom used player buried deep on the bench of the surging Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Thunder's acquisition of center Kendrick Perkins at last season's trade deadline and the continued emergence of forward Serge Ibaka further solidified Mullens' position on the pine.
But Mullens received a career lifeline.
Back in December Oklahoma City dealt Mullens to the Charlotte Bobcats for a 2013 second round pick.
The change in scenery was a welcome breath of fresh air for Mullens who long came to terms he wasn't part of the Thunder's plans. He also has March 10, when the Bobcats travel to Oklahoma City, circled on his calendar.
"I'm excited I'm here [in Charlotte]," Mullens told HOOPSWORLD. "I left a good team but I wasn't part of the organization plan. Nothing against them, but yeah, I can't wait to go back there on March 10. Those guys are cool with me so it's all good. I'm ready to build with this organization any way I can."
During his first two seasons in the league Mullens played a combined total of 139 minutes.
Through fifteen contests with the Bobcats Mullens has already recorded 346 minutes with five appearances in the starting lineup.
"Man it feels great," Mullens said referring to receiving consistent playing time. "Getting this great opportunity coach [Paul Silas] is giving me. I'm just running on excitement. My legs are tired, but I'm going to toughen it up. To be playing is a great opportunity and I'm not going to give it up for anything."
Mullens is averaging 12.4 points and 5.4 rebounds on the season, but an impressive 15.2 points and 6.8 rebounds since being inserted into the starting lineup.
The third year center gave a tremendous amount of credit to head coach Paul Silas for giving him the confidence to play worry free and consistently putting him in places on the floor to excel.
"Giving me the green light," Mullens said when asked how Silas has helped his confidence on the floor. "He gives everyone on the team a green light to go out and do what they want to do on offense as long as we make the right decisions. But you have to play defense as well. I think that's why I'm starting, because he told me I'd get more minutes if I started rebounding more. Over the last few games I've been picking that up so he's giving me an opportunity."
Andrew Bynum Gives Respect To Dwight Howard: Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum and Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard names have routinely been linked with each other in trade rumors over the past two years.
In anticipation of Friday's clash between the two teams Bynum, arguably the second best center in the league when healthy, admitted on Tuesday that he looks up to Howard and studies his game.
"I don't make any comparisons," Bynum told Andy Kamenetzky of ESPN Los Angeles. "The guy is definitely more proven … so for myself, I always look up to him and want to be able to get the ball and do the thing

Look closely at Paul Manlove's individual watercolor illustrations and they appear to be the pages of a field journal. But presented all at once in a giant grid, the nearly 100 paintings tell a different story. "The viewer is allowed intimate access to Manlove's observations and his ideas as they transform and evolve," he writes in a statement. "A deftly rendered still life is fluidly set next to an abstract exploration of the chosen medium." Manlove teaches art at Pennsylvania State University, Harrisburg, and has shown his work nationally. His installation is called "Conversations on Nothing" and is on display at William Feick Arts Center, Green Mountain College, in Poultney through November 8.

5 "..AWESOME COMEDY SET.."sdx800 | 31/08/2011 | See all sdx800's reviews (1725)Number 1 Reviewer Number 1 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 10 Gadgets Reviewer Top 10 Toys Reviewer These are fantastic family comedies full of hilarious antics from Jim Carrey when he was in his prime, these are two of his greatest movies ever!! Ace Ventura is a very funny ride with great stories and will always be very memorable after watching, bargain price comedy gold!!
5 Reeeeheeeeheeeeeeeleeeeee??inisbeag91 | 30/09/2010 | See all inisbeag91's reviews (503)Jim carrey really sent his star into orbit by playing the very funny role of ace Ventura pet detective. In the first one he is the laughing stock of the police force but by the second one he is world famous. He has some great catchphrases and the film really makes use of carrey's talent for physical comedy like in the second one when he gets hit with the poison darts. These are two great films and you and you really should buy them
5 Hungry Fella?? Here Ya Go!!Tiddles01 | 29/04/2008 | See all Tiddles01's reviews (5)Absolute bargain for a fiver!! Jim Carrey on top form in this comedy classic dvd boxset which will fit in your collection "like a glove!!"
5 Bargain Bundle!!Jimnon131190 | 04/03/2008 | See all Jimnon131190's reviews (7)Two Films for £5,with Jim Carrey and both films are Ace Ventura series??Play must be mad These films are a MUST HAVE!!!!For £5 you cannot go wrong!Buy it it's a Bargain Bundle!! ALLLLLLLLLLRIGHTY THEN.
5 Comedy gold from the rubberfaced man himself!captainroj | 26/01/2008 | See all captainroj's reviews (2)A flamboyant and hysterical performance from funny man Jim Carrey will leave you laughing all they way! These legendary pair of comedies mark a milestone in Carrey's career and did indeed pave the way for some even greater movies transforming him from B-lister to the A-lister we know today. Both are hilarious and well written and each explores a very different environment which keeps things fresh. Well worth the watch for both adults and children alike (assuming the child is over the age of 12! It gets a little blue...).

For the first time in a long time, I had a day off on Friday. The last day off I had that wasn't a stat holiday was back in MARCH. WTH? I had the day planned out: Bob and I were going to take Mum out for crepes at Kawaii Crepe, go to Boonstra's for strawberry picking, and then maybe go to Home Sense to check out some new wares. But before all the shenanigans were to begin, I had to come up with a dessert to bring over to the ladies night dinner I was attending later that evening.
What to make? What to make that'll be quick and ready to go by the time I get back? Out of our small group of awesome, foxy ladies, one has food allergies. And the two things that she could not have were: citrus and nuts. CRAP! So, I'm online looking for "great!" "summer!" "desserts!". And what comes up? Citrus something-or-other. Lemony thing-she-can't-eat. Nuts'n-butts disaster. I was totally boned. Why did everything that was sounding SO amazing were the things I couldn't make? So, I emailed Ms. T and asked her specifically which citrus and which nuts (because it can be specific). Turns out ALL citrus :(. But, she was ok with peanuts. Translation: peanut butter is an option. HALLELUJAH!

Hollywood stars reveal Justin Bieber is a difficult neighbourHollywood couple Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell have revealed that Justin Bieber isn't their idea of the perfect neighbour. The engaged pair, best known for their roles in Employee Of The Month and Veronica Mars, told US chat show The View this week that they were initially fans of the Canadian teen idol before he moved in next door to them. Dax said: "Didn't I fall in love with Justin Bieber during that documentary? I had cried and laughed 90 times within the first five minutes. I left with complete Bieber fever. "Cut to Biebs moves in behind us.... And the music and the parties and the paparazzi. It's like living in Lebanon now. "I know myself well enough -- once I go over to the neighbour's house, all hell's breaking loose. It's best that I don't get myself in those situations to begin with. I'm the sheriff of the neighbourhood." Bell was a little more diplomatic in her response, admitting they couldn't be sure the 'Boyfriend' singer was personally responsible for the noise, before adding: "We just know since he moved in, the music has been blaring. And it's not like super late-night parties, it's just a lot of music, all the time. But the paparazzi thing is really annoying because that's not our thing." Watch a preview of the video for Justin's 'As Long As You Love Me' below: Latest 10 Justin Bieber News Stories
