MONDAY, Oct. 4 (HealthDay News) -- Breast cancer survivors experience significant improvements in fatigue levels after a group-based, holistic intervention, regardless of race, according to research presented at the American Association for Cancer Research Conference on the Science of Cancer Health Disparities, held from Sept. 30 to Oct. 3 in Miami.
Susan E. Appling, of the Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, and colleagues evaluated fatigue levels via a before/after questionnaire in 206 breast cancer survivors to determine the effectiveness of a group-based, mind-body holistic medicine program in African-American and Caucasian women.
The researchers found that the 52 African-American respondents indicated higher fatigue levels than Caucasians, both at baseline and at the three follow-up time points, although the differences were not statistically significant. Both groups did, however, experience an improvement in fatigue levels that was maintained at two and six months' follow-up.
"In our group of breast cancer survivors, race did not play a role in fatigue improvement," Appling said in a statement. "Overall, women with the common symptom of persistent fatigue benefited equally from this group-based holistic program."

The optimal treatment approach for coronary intramural hematomas has not been well defined, and discussion is limited to scarce data. In addition, the impact of prior thrombolytic therapy in the setting of coronary artery dissections with possible development and/or extension of an intramural hematoma is not well understood. We describe a case of iatrogenic periprocedural dissection of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) with development of an intramural hematoma and the extension of this hematoma to the left main (LM) and left circumflex (LCX) arteries in a middle-aged female, where prior recent thrombolytic therapy may have played a role in its triggering or facilitation of its extension. This case highlights the importance of facilitation of bleeding complications by prior use of thrombolytic therapy not only peripherally but intracoronary too and the use of intravascular ultrasound for both diagnosis, followup, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) guidance.
1. Introduction
The optimal treatment approach for coronary intramural hematomas has not been well defined, and discussion is limited to case reports [1–4]. In addition, the impact of prior thrombolytic therapy in the setting of coronary artery dissections with possible development and/or extension of an intramural hematoma is not well understood [1]. We present a case of acute anterior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), with initial good response to thrombolytic therapy and subsequent worsening due to iatrogenic periprocedural dissection of the LAD with development and extension of an intramural hematoma towards the LM and LCX arteries. Intramural hematoma was confirmed by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and successfully treated with multiple stents.
2. Case Report
A 42-year-old postmenopausal woman with no apparent cardiovascular risk factors had a history of non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction with stenting of the proximal right coronary artery (RCA). Four months later, she presented to a remote hospital on an island in the North Sea with new onset retrosternal crushing typical chest pain associated with sweating. Her electrocardiogram (ECG) showed ST elevation and T-wave inversions in the anterior chest leads, and she was diagnosed as having an acute anterior STEMI. There were no capabilities to perform primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at that time or to transport her within the recommended time, and so the decision was taken to proceed with thrombolytic therapy. After receiving recombinant tissue plasminogen activator, she markedly improved with resolution of chest pain and ST segment normalization.
Next morning, angiography revealed a patent stent in the RCA and a critical mid LAD lesion just after the first diagonal bifurcation (D1). Ad hoc PCI was performed using 2 wires in LAD and D1 and direct stenting (without balloon predilatation) of the LAD with a drug-eluting stent. Thereafter, it appeared that the LAD lesion was not totally covered, and staining of contrast was visible proximally (possibly a dissection). Another distal stent was placed, while the dissection progressed proximally towards the LAD ostium. At this point, the procedure was aborted and a transfer to our hospital was arranged quickly (Figures 1(a)–1(c)).
The patient had a reangiogram at the same day revealing a normal LM and LCX arteries, two patent nonoverlapping stents in the mid LAD with lumen narrowing proximally, and thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) 3 flow. IVUS showed an intramural hematoma proximal to the stents with no dissection flaps and no significant lumen narrowing (Figures 1(d)–1(f)); so, we decided not to intervene as the patient became stable, and another control angiogram was scheduled after 3 days. Only Aspirin 100 mg and Clopidogrel 75 mg were given as antiplatelets with no other anticoagulants to try to avoid increase in the hematoma size. Full laboratory assessment was done with no abnormality apart from the elevated cardiac markers which were decreasing following the acute myocardial infarction. Full autoimmune profile was also performed due to suspicion of vasculitis but was later found to be normal.
Three days later, a control angiogram was done revealing clear increase in the size of the intramural hematoma in the LAD with a minimum lumen area of 4.3 mm2 (IVUS controlled) and clear progression of the hematoma towards the proximal LCX with a minimum lumen area of 3.4 mm2. After IVUS of the LCX, a critical lesion appeared at the site of IVUS with TIMI 1-2 flow distally not improving with intracoronary nitrates (assumed spasm) or balloon dilatation with a 1.5 and a 2.5 mm balloons (Figures 2(a)–2(d)).
An ad hoc heart team discussion supported a PCI approach. Thus, a 3.0 × 12 mm Xience Prime stent (Abbott Vascular, IL, USA) was placed in the proximal LCX, followed by another overlapping 3.5 × 18 mm Xience Prime stent to the LM trunk. The LAD ostium appeared compromised (shifting hematoma—Figure 2(e)); so, wires were exchanged, and balloon dilatation of the LM/LCX stent was done with a 2.0 mm balloon, and then, implantation of a 3.5 × 38 mm Xience Prime stent form the LM to the mid LAD (culotte technique) was performed. Rewiring of the LCX was done, and the procedure was finalized with kissing balloon dilatation with an excellent primary outcome (Figure 2(f)).
Echocardiography the next morning revealed upper normal left ventricular internal dimensions with impaired functions (ejection fraction of 35%) with anterolateral hypokinesia, akinetic apex, and the development of a small apical LV aneurysm with a small LV thrombus. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging one week later confirmed the echocardiogram data in addition to myocardial edema at the infarction site with late enhancement indicating microvascular obstruction. The patient went through cardiac rehabilitation and is doing fine. She is scheduled for a control angiogram in 1 year.
3. Discussion
This is a case of iatrogenic periprocedural dissection of the LAD with development of an intramural hematoma and extension of this hematoma to the LM and LCX arteries, where prior recent thrombolytic therapy may have played a role in its triggering or facilitation of its extension. It was successfully detected by IVUS and treated with multiple stents.
After PCI, intramural hematomas have been diagnosed in up to 6.7% of cases with intravascular ultrasound guidance [5]. Not all risk factors for intramural hematomas or coronary dissections have been identified, but there appears to be four groups of patients who present with intramural hematomas or coronary dissections: women in the peripartum period, atherosclerosis-associated coronary hematomas, percutaneous coronary intervention related, and idiopathic cases (including patients with connective tissue diseases, vasculitis, lupus erythematosus, extreme exercise, and also drug use) [3, 5, 6]. In the current case report, the dissection and intramural hematomas were PCI related. The European Society of Cardiology 2010 guidelines for myocardial revascularization recommends performing coronary angiography and PCI within 24 hours of giving thrombolytic therapy for STEMI patients (Class 1A) which is similar to the management here [7]. In this setting, not only peripheral vascular bleeding complications could occur but also coronary intramural hematomas may be facilitated especially following complicated PCIs.
A high awareness for intramural hematomas or dissections is required when performing PCI as a hematoma may simply appear as diffuse coronary luminal narrowing. A new stent-edge lesion or milking of a de novo coronary lesion distally, proximally or into an adjacent branch or vessel has been described previously [8]. The use of IVUS can identify intimal tears and provide important information about the length of the dissection, vessel size, the development and extension of an intramural hematoma, and the adequate compression of intramural hematoma after PCI. Furthermore, the use of IVUS can guide PCI and can minimize the incidence of PCI-related complications [9]. Vessels facilitating the extension of a hematoma are typically relatively healthy, thereby allowing propagation of blood within the media without being impeded by calcific or fibrotic plaques [5], which was clearly apparent in this case. We assume that the major contributors for this complication were the recent thrombolytic therapy, the relatively healthy vessel wall, and the fact that the dissection was not sealed proximally.
Although there is no clear consensus on management of multivessel intramural hematomas, the key principal of re-establishing coronary flow in the setting of ongoing ischemia holds true as in any acute coronary syndrome (ACS). If vital conditions are stable and ischemia is not ongoing, intramural coronary hematoma may be treated medically similar to medical treatment of ACS. Thrombolytic therapy in patients with coronary dissections and intramural hematomas is not recommended due to the possibility of extension resulting in poor prognosis [10].
4. Conclusion
Early PCI postthrombolytic therapy can facilitate vascular bleeding complications not only peripherally but also intramural coronary hematomas may develop and extend, which may lead to a poor clinical outcome.

I wrote a post about screening for quality bank stocks and another one here about Wells Fargo vs Cheap Community Banks and thought I'd post on some other comments I have here. Some of these thought might sound contradictory (everyone wants to separate stocks into categories based on quality/earnings and cheapness/assets). It's not black and white, and all we're really trying to do is figure out what something is worth and pay less for it. As Alice Schroeder has said, if Buffett were handed a dollar and asked to pay 50 cents for it, he would (despite the fact that the dollar bill has no moat!). So the first thing to remember is that we are trying to determine value in relation to price, regardless of what "category" the investment falls into.
I love looking at cheap stocks. When it comes to banks, I've traditionally started by looking at big discounts to tangible book value. But I've spent a lot of time thinking about why Buffett keeps buying Wells Fargo (which is the subject of another post I have to organize at some point).
There are different reasons for this, which I'll discuss later, but for now, the basic question I've considered is why does Buffett get so enthusiastic about paying 2-3 times tangible book for banks? And it's not because of his size. He easily could have plowed much more capital into large banks like Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC), Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C), and many other large liquid banks when they sold for significant discounts to tangible book (I realize he made some investments in some of these "other banks" but they were dwarfed by the size of his WFC position). Of course, the simple answer is that he feels Wells is the better business, and of course that's true. But what specifically does he like?
See my last post for some more thoughts on Wells Fargo & Co (NYSE:WFC), and I'll have more to say later, including some comments on the 1991-1993 annual reports that Buffett, Berkowitz, Greenblatt, and others were looking at in real time when they decided to make significant investments into Wells Fargo in the early 1990?s.
But for now, one thing to keep in mind when using simple valuation metrics like P/B is another Buffett comment on banks:
"You don't make money on tangible common equity. You make money on the funds that people give you and the difference between the cost of those funds and what you lend them out on."
I think what Buffett implies here is to not get too caught up with discounts to tangible book values if you plan to be a long term owner of the business. Of course, that's how Buffett thinks of himself: a long term business owner. Many pay lip service to this, but few actually think this way. I'm not sure that everyone buying bank stocks at huge discounts to tangible book necessarily think this way. They most likely are thinking about flipping their discounted merchandise to someone else once that merchandise gets priced fairly.
For example, you can buy a bank at 0.7 times book, sell it at 1.0 times book for roughly a 50% gain… a very simple strategy, and one that I like to consider as well… and not that this is right or wrong strategically, but it's definitely not how Buffett thinks, and I don't think he thought this way in the 50?s and 60?s either, as I'll discuss when I review my Commonwealth Bank case study when I have time later.
Buying and selling discounted merchandise is a very acceptable idea and it likely works over time with these banks. One of Irving Kahn's first jobs when he went to work for Ben Graham was to make a list of all the bank stocks trading below .7 P/B.
Buffett does things differently, which doesn't necessarily mean better, but it has also certainly worked. One thing he looks for are the banks that consistently have the lowest costs and determines that their cost structure (low-cost deposit base) along with their scale and size are huge competitive advantages. He is willing to pay well over book, and in some cases 2-3 times tangible book for quality banks like Wells Fargo, US Bank, M&T and others.
How has this worked out over time?
Very well… We all know about Wells Fargo, but think about this: In the last 3 decades, Wells Fargo stock price has averaged about 16% per year including dividends! Wow, the S&P made about 8.5% CAGR before dividends during that time. Including dividends, let's call it about 11% per year for the S&P.
M&T Bank Corporation (NYSE:MTB), another Buffett holding and a very high quality bank, has actually been one of the greatest performing stocks over the past 30 years, going from $1 to $113, and including dividends has averaged about 18% compounded annually!
Note: I'm assuming about 2% annual dividends (which likely is on the conservative side) because I didn't go back and check dividend yields for each year since the 1980?s, but we can summarize the specific numbers for these two banks (adjusted for splits, but without the benefit of dividends) as follows:
Wells Fargo & Co (NYSE:WFC):
- Stock price 30 years ago (12/12/1983): $1.38
- Stock price currently: $43.62
- Compounded Annual Growth Rate: 12.2% (not including dividends)
M&T Bank Corporation (NYSE:MTB):
- Stock price 30 years ago (12/12/1983): $1.54
- Stock price currently: $113.92
- Compounded Annual Growth Rate: 15.4% (not including dividends)
- Index Value on 12/12/1983: 166
- Index Value on 12/12/2013: 1775
- CAGR: 8.2% (not including dividends)
So it's remarkable that even after two significant banking crises, the most recent one causing roughly a 70% drop in stock price for these banks, they have both significantly outperformed the S&P 500 over many years.
These are long time Buffett holdings, so I included them here, but there are many others. I came across this post when doing some research: 5 Top Bank Stocks in Last 30 years. It references the two I focused on above, along with a few others like U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB), State Street Corporation (NYSE:STT), and Northern Trust Corporation (NASDAQ:NTRS). USB is another long time Buffett holding, and not surprisingly has an incredible long term record of creating shareholder value with a CAGR of about 13% not including dividends over the past 30 years. State Street and Northern Trust also have performed very well, with their stocks averaging around 13-14% per year before factoring in the benefit of dividends.
Perpetually High P/B Multiples
The other interesting thing is that none of these banks appear to be cheap if you look at the price to tangible book values. And it's not that they sell for premiums now but were cheap historically. I checked various time periods over the past 15 years (as far back as I could find just by quickly glancing through Value Line) and found that all of these bank stocks have historically traded well over tangible book (often between 2-3 times tangible book).
In other words, at numerous times in the past, you could have paid 2-3 times tangible book for these quality banks, and simply held them and continued to achieve

Cliff and Nichole Williams wanted their baby, a boy, to inherit some of the family's best traits.
When it came time to name him, however, they went nontraditional.
Most people in the Williams' family figured they'd name the baby after Cliff; he had a better idea.
"He wanted me to be a shadow of who he was as a person," said Shadow Williams, now a college freshman and one of the Arizona Wildcats' surprises at linebacker. "So, Shadow."
So far, the walk-on is making a (unique) name for himself.
The 6-foot, 226-pound Williams started at middle linebacker in the team's Fort Huachuca scrimmage earlier this month and has been seeing regular reps in practice.
Williams and a small army of walk-ons may be the difference between Arizona's making a bowl game and struggling for the second consecutive season.
The Wildcats, who open their season Sept. 1 against Toledo, are especially short at linebacker. Akron transfer Brian Wagner and walk-on David Lopez both left the team over the summer for personal reason. Returners Rob Hankins and Hank Hobson have both been limited in practices, as has newcomer Dakota Conwell.
Williams said the unexpected playing time has been "definitely life-changing," he said.
"It's different," he said.
The linebacker's role in Arizona's new 3-3-5 "odd stack" defense is pretty much the same as in a 4-3; attack the ball-carrier, stop the run and - when the opportunity arises - sack the quarterback.
Williams racked up 62 tackles, had three sacks and forced three fumbles as a senior at Tampa (Fla.) Land O'Lakes High School.
He was recruited by a handful of major programs but soon figured out he would need to walk on to get a chance to play.
He had two connections to Arizona. His family lived for years in Laveen before moving to Florida.
He met Frank Davis, now one of the UA's assistant strength coaches, while in Florida. On Davis' recommendation, the aspiring football player moved to Tucson and joined the Wildcats.
"I knew I was going to have to work to get in there, and get on the field," Williams said. "I had no idea I'd be contributing so early."
Three players battling for two tackle spots
Fabbians Ebbele, Lene Maiava and Mickey Baucus continue to battle for the two starting tackle spots, coach Rich Rodriguez said. The two leaders vary, seemingly by the day.
Ebbele played with the second and third teams when the Wildcats were at Fort Huachuca two weeks ago. He was back with the first team this week. Maiava, a redshirt freshman from Tafuna, American Samoa, missed most of Wednesday's practice.
"Lene was progressing," Rodriguez said. "He's had a pretty good camp."
Replacing Washington
Justin Washington's suspension has left the Wildcats even thinner on the defensive line with eight days remaining before their season opener. Washington was listed as a co-starter, along with sophomore Kirifi Taula, at one of the two defensive end spots earlier in camp.
Now Washington is out indefinitely while he tries to work his way back onto the team, Taula is limited because of another injury, and fellow starter Dan Pettinato is nursing a sore leg.
The shuffle could mean even more playing time for Taimi Tutogi, a running back-turned-defensive end who has been hot in practice.
Extra points
• Cornerback Jonathan McKnight has been held out of some contact drills in camp because of a sore shoulder and a rehabbing knee but should be in the lineup for the opener. McKnight missed the entire 2011 season with torn knee ligaments; he injured his shoulder over the summer, an injury that he's determined to play through.
McKnight suffered a similar injury while playing at River Ridge (La.) John Curtis High School.
"I'm playing through it," he said. "I ain't going to stop."
• Though injuries have decimated the Wildcats' placekicking corps, John Bonano is expected to start the opener. Jake Smith played well in training camp but has been limited by a leg injury. Bonano knows the feeling: He battled a hamstring strain over the summer.
Arizona kickers hit just 10 of 18 field goal attempts a year ago; combined, they missed five PATs.
Rodriguez said, "I feel comfortable right now kicking anything from 50 (yards) in."

If you have ever sighed, "Oh, my aching back!" you are not alone. Over 80% of Americans are affected by back pain at some point in their lives. Back pain can range from lower, middle or upper back and can come in the form of a dull constant ache or a sudden, sharp pain. Acute back pain comes on suddenly and usually lasts from a few days to a few weeks. If back pain lasts for more than three months it is called chronic back pain.
A complex structure of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles make up the back. Back pain can result from a sports injury, an accident or from very simple movements. You can sprain ligaments, strain muscles, rupture discs, and irritate joints, all of which can lead to back pain. Arthritis, poor posture, obesity and stress can all cause or complicate back pain. Back pain can also directly result from diseases of the internal organs, such as kidney stones, kidney infections, blood clots and bone loss.
Some facts about back pain:

Hongdae: Center for Young Art in Seoul2012-04-19 1 Share Tweet
Hongdae – a place which is filled with creative design and art in Seoul, South Korea. It is especially well-known for creative designs and arts by local young designers. The Hongik University, which is famous for its leading fine arts and design programs is also located at the Hongdae area.
Hongdae, Seoul: a highly-recommended place to you all especially to those who love art and designs.
How to get there:
Take Subway Line 2 (Hongik Station), Exit 5
Hongdae is the place you must visit in Seoul if you like design, art, and handicraft. There's a weekly market called Free Market (not flea market). The Free Market (Saturday) and Hope Market (Sunday) are open from 1pm to 7pm. The free market is held at a playground that is close to the Hongik University every weekend. It is a market selling handmade items by students and recent graduates. Handmade accessories, clothes, mobile phone cases and so on can be found here. This free market has been well known throughout all of South Korea as a primary and necessary place for Korean artists.
Graffiti playground – the landmark for the free market at Hongdae, Seoul. The entire area is filled with freedom, passion, youth, romance, relax, and fun. I would say that this is a great place to get recharged.
I found a great "underground" store when I walked along the alleys of Hongdae. Sorry that I can't recall the name of this store anymore. The photography corner attracted me. Great photo books are selling here and I wished I was able to stay longer to read those books. Of course, I found our lovely Lomography cameras and vintage cameras being sold there as well.

This fall might the last go-around for football conferences in the current format.
Not because the conference is going away, but because of a change in how the Minnesota State High School League will have its members schedule games.
The Minnesota State High School League's Board of Directors Jan. 23 voted to restructure regular season football by approving a district football scheduling proposal.
The plan, designed to help schools that have had trouble scheduling their full complement of eight regular-season games, will divide schools into districts of at least 10, and preferably 16 or more schools, with proximity and similar enrollments among the criteria for placement. Schools within a district then would collaborate to create schedules for each team. The plan will take effect in 2015.
Section and state playoff formats would not change.
Districts could have teams from more than one of six enrollment classes, and there is no assurance that all schools within a conference would be placed in the same district.
The MSHSL board approved the proposal 19-1, with Rosemount High School Athletic Director Mike Manning casting the lone dissenting vote.
A committee will be formed in the spring to determine district lineups, with the goal to have them approved at the June 2 MSHSL board meeting. Districts then would begin work on scheduling for the 2015 and 2016 seasons with a Nov. 1 deadline to have them completed.
MSHSL Associate Director Kevin Merkle gave the board results of a football survey that found 18 percent of member schools currently had challenges scheduling regular season football games and 41 percent had had difficulty with scheduling within the past 10 years. Many of those schools are in outstate Minnesota and they either had to travel long distances to play a game or went with a week unfilled on their schedules.
Football scheduling also is a problem for several of Minnesota's largest high schools. Eden Prairie, the 2013 state Class 6A champion, played only seven regular season games this past season, as did Wayzata. Both play in the Lake Conference, which has five schools, leaving teams four spots for non-conference games.
To relieve the burden, the Northwest Suburban Conference offered to schedule six games for four seasons.
Andover Activities Director Eric Lehtola compiles the football schedule for the Northwest Suburban Conference and said the announcement could be good or bad for his program and the other current conference members.
"We've been feeling challenges to the football schedule for years now," Lehtola said, initially when Armstrong applied to join the NWSC to make it 11 schools. Elk River decided to move to the Mississippi 8 Conference for football for two seasons and Totino-Grace also joined the conference only in football before making the leap to all activities now. The NWSC has reached 14 teams now with the addition of Spring Lake Park and Irondale for the 2014-15 season.
"We want to see what the districts are going to look like," Lehtola said, referring to a possibility of merging with programs like St. Francis, Elk River, Forest Lake and Cambridge-Isanti.
According to Lehtola, the other option would be to join with west metro schools like Minnetonka, Wayzata and Eden Prairie. "We're not happy with that," Lehtola said. "We {Andover} are already a 5A school and we don't want to be the only 5A school in a 6A district."
St. Francis Activities Director Jeff Fink said one reason the Saints moved into the Mississippi 8 Conference before the 2014 season was to return to more natural opponents like Chisago Lakes, Cambridge-Isanti and Rogers.
The Saints left the North Suburban Conference looking to develop those historical rivalries, cut down on travel expenses and possibly increase the number of fans coming to games on both sides of the field.
"Football really sets the tone for the rivalries for the whole year and it would be sad if we play different people than any other conference [activity]," Fink said, referring to what he sees as a move that could go in three directions – south to join Anoka, Blaine, Andover, Coon Rapids; north to join Brainerd, Bemidji, Moorhead and Duluth or something similar to the current format against other northern teams like Princeton, Buffalo and Rogers.
"I would hope our conference stays together with 12 teams, but if we lose some of those rivalries it would be interesting," Fink said. "I'm concerned with who we would get grouped with. We're not interested to play some of the teams in the North Suburban [Conference] and the one way to develop those traditions is by playing teams over and over again."
Fink talked about some of the real challenges from a smaller gate or ticket sales from visiting programs. "Our old conference football gate receipts weren't good," he said. "We didn't have teams that traveled well whereas we have Rogers and Cambridge that travel really well and that helps us make up our budget."
Booster clubs help as much as they can by providing funds for helmets and other safety equipment, but Fink estimates the school spends $50,000 on coaches alone.
The high school league does have some scheduling idiosyncrasies.
Because the regular season is limited to eight games, teams can't play all of the other schools in the conference in the same year. Some teams play conference opponents in all eight of their regular season games, while others play seven conference games and one non-conference game.
Earlier start in 2015
The MSHSL board also approved an earlier start to the 2015 football season, made necessary because the Prep Bowl is expected to take place two weeks earlier than usual.
The 2014 and 2015 Prep Bowls will be at TCF Bank Stadium. Because of University of Minnesota games already scheduled, Nov. 13-14 are the only weekend dates in November 2015 that the stadium is available to the MSHSL.
In 2015, preseason practices will start Aug. 10, one week earlier than usual. Teams will be able to play games beginning Saturday, Aug. 22. Games are likely to replace the scrimmages that many teams schedule at the end of the second week of practice. The change means most teams will have played three games before the opening day of school.
The change is likely to be for the 2015 season only because the MSHSL is expected to move the Prep Bowl to the new Minnesota Vikings stadium when it opens in 2016.
Four class softball
The MSHSL board also approved a proposal to expand the state softball tournament from three classes to four beginning in 2016. The tournament is expected to remain at its present location, Caswell Park in North Mankato.

Online marketing continues to take on a much bigger spend of marketing budgets this year, with the latest results showing search and directory marketing accounting for 51.9% of an almost $2.5 billion spend.
However, as online becomes the channel of choice, with SEO, PPC, social media and mobile strategies all working to drive consumers and users to your website, the question then becomes what content is actually on your website? Is the information up to date? Is your messaging clear and consistent? Is it capturing users at the right point in their buying cycle?All of these questions are part of the driving factors of your content strategy.
4 reasons why your business should be thinking about content strategy
- Your Message – as you drive users to your website via online marketing, social media efforts and even off line advertising with TV commercials and print media, you have to ask is your message clear? All of your content needs to work together to deliver your key messages clearly and concisely. Content that is well planned for and well organised can help you communicate your core values that will drive users to convert.
- The User Experience – users today rely on online channels to deliver the most up to date information and they expect to get to it quickly. Your Content Strategy will allow you to ensure you have a system in place to update your site regularly.
- Thought Leadership – content marketing is increasingly becoming a great way for businesses to establish thought leadership in their industries. A blog, white paper or guest contributions can give you the competitive edge you need to establish trust and rapport with your clients.
- Organisation – developing a system for content governance is an important part of your content strategy. It will help you to ensure that the right people are working together to maintain your content, reducing operating inefficiencies and wastage.

According to a monthly business jet report issued by JPMorgan this week, the pre-owned market recovery continues though new jet demand is expected to lag. JPMorgan said used inventories fell 50 basis points last month, to 13.6 percent of the in-service fleet, the "second consecutive meaningful decline and further evidence that we are past the cyclical trough in the used market." The investment firm predicts that pre-owned inventories will decline further in the coming months, though not necessarily in a straight line. Average asking prices for used business jets slipped again, declining 1.8 percent last month. Prices, on average, are 24 percent below the peak last November. "We expect prices to continue falling until inventories, which remain elevated, decline further," said JPMorgan aerospace analyst David Nadol III. In addition, "We expect a significant lag between improvements in the used market, where inventories remain far above last cycle's peak, and a pickup in demand for new jets, and we believe this downcycle has further to run," he said. JPMorgan said it expects the NBAA Convention this month to be quieter than in recent years due to weak order activity and no expected new aircraft launches, "although some optimism due to [improving] used market conditions is warranted."

Hanwha SolarOne Celebrates the Crowning of Hunter Pence as "Mr. Energy of the Year powered by Hanwha" with Donation to Junior Giants
Scholarship Fund
[SAN FRANCISCO, 30 September, 2014] Hanwha SolarOne, a top-10 global photovoltaic manufacturer of high-quality, cost-competitive solar modules and the official solar partner of The San Francisco Giants, awarded Hunter Pence as "Mr. Energy of the Year powered by Hanwha" before the start of a recent home game. Hanwha SolarOne celebrated the powerful season of Pence with a donation
to the Junior Giant Program.
Junior Giants, the flagship program of the non-profit Giants Community Fund, is a free, non-competitive and innovative baseball program that gives at-risk kids ages 5-18 an alternative to drugs, gangs and crime. Celebrating its 20th year, the Junior Giants program now reaches over 21,000 children
in 90 leagues across California and into Nevada and Oregon.
"Inspired by Mr. Energy of the Year Pence's impressive season, Hanwha SolarOne was motivated to give more Bay Area youngsters the chance to pursue sports as an outlet for achievement," said Steve Kang, president of Hanwha SolarOne USA. "This partnership also builds on Hanwha SolarOne's mission
to educate children about environmental responsibility."
Throughout the 2014 season, fans were invited to vote for the Mr. Energy of the Month. One voter was chosen each month to win a Grand Slam Prize Package, which included an autographed jersey and baseball, a solar cellphone charger and a $200 Visa gift card. After all the votes were tallied, Pence was named Mr. Energy of the Year in a home plate ceremony before the start of the game on September 25, 2014. Hanwha SolarOne subsequently donated one dollar for every vote cast in the Mr. Energy campaign to the Junior Giants Program. In addition to Hanwha SolarOne's contribution, OneRoof Energy joined the "Mr. Energy of the Year Powered by Hanwha" campaign, offering homeowners $250 cashback for converting to cleaner, more affordable solar energy. OneRoof Energy, a technology-rich solar finance provider, subsequently donated $250 to the Junior Giants for every new customer signed up as part
of the campaign.
"The Giants are proud of our partnership with Hanwha SolarOne and our shared commitment to serving and supporting Bay Area youth," said Jason Pearl, managing vice president of sponsorship
for The San Francisco Giants.
To energize and improve the lives of Giants fans and all Bay Area residents, Hanwha SolarOne has built on the Giants' legacy of environmental responsibility through a series of green initiative campaigns, including a solar photovoltaic installation at AT&T Park, a Hanwha-branded, sun-shaped LED sign above left field which displays how far a home run ball travels and sponsorship of the Giants' in-game recycling Green Team, which enters the stands of AT&T Park at the end of the seventh inning to collect recyclables and to remind fans to recycle at home.

to both their fans and community including education/literacy, violence prevention, health and youth recreation and fitness.

fever dreamers Ebook
by By A. E. Gilmore
Other versions of this book
Print Book
About the Ebook
The fever dreamers are an informal collective of beings spread across time, coinciding though shared locations and thin places in the fabric of the universe. They may experience hints of each other at the edges of their perception, from the corners of their eyes, never solidifying into what we might call real or conjure up the confidence to announce out loud. As in a dream, gripped by fever, uncertain of the boundaries between the real and the unreal, they encounter whispers of each other wafting through their shared spaces. Fever liberates us from the shackles of "the real" and the limitations inherent to it. This is history brought into the present moment. Metaphysicians theorize that time exists all at once and not at all in the linear way that we imagine it, with the past behind us and the future ahead. All at once, fever dreamers exist in the same space. Their moments, and their stories, unfold without the boundaries and parameters of our perception.
The stories told of the fever dreamers in the current installation can be seen as seeds, origins, the first glimpse into a world unknown and easily missed. Like breaking open a pomegranate and finding so many tiny jewels inside, we enter the installation space to discover the richness of just a handful of these many jewels. The artist intends to break open the rind and pluck out this story and that one, to introduce this dreamer and that one. There are many more, manifold reflections of humanity interwoven through time and space. The viewer takes in their stories, opening to a broader perspective of what we move through when we move through a space, most any space – an old building, a field, a path along which so many beings have moved. History becomes real. We can taste each tiny jewel in a lived way, tangible and synesthetic.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - The Westminster College Department of Music Composition Program will present "Voices from Within IV: Celebration of New Music" Sunday, April 21, at 3 p.m. in Orr Auditorium. The concert is free to the public.
Westminster students participating in this year's concert include:
These students have studied composition with Westminster professors Dr. Daniel Perttu, assistant professor of music theory and composition, and Dr. Jason Howard, visiting assistant professor of music. They will also have pieces performed in this concert.
The concert is comprised of eleven works for groups ranging in size from single solo artists to a chamber orchestra. In addition to featured premiere performances of compositions by students and faculty, the concert will feature guest artist and saxophonist Mathew C. Ferraro.
Ferraro has been playing saxophone and teaching music in the Youngstown/Cleveland and Pittsburgh areas for over 25 years. His extensive playing career includes various Broadway shows at Cleveland's Playhouse Square, including Annie, A Chorus Line, Guys and Dolls and the Radio City Rockettes. He has also backed many national artists such as The Four Tops, The Temptations, Roberta Flack, Johnny Mathis, Manhattan Transfer, Barry Manilow and was featured soloist with Smokey Robinson in 1994. He has performed with various big bands throughout the area including the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra, Randy Purcell's Big Fat Band and the Balcony Big Band in Pittsburgh.
This annual concert series was started in 2010 by Perttu as a way to both promote the creation of new music and showcase the talent of Westminster's student-composers. This concert series has featured numerous guest artists and composers, such as Robert Rollin, David Cutler, and Kirk O'Riordan.
Contact Perttu at (724) 946-7024 or email for additional information.

Structural analysis of "flexible" liposome formulations: new insights into the skin-penetrating ability of soft nanostructures
Ogunsola OA, Kraeling ME, Zhong S, Pochan DJ, Bronaugh RL, Raghavan SR
Self-assembled nanocontainers that can penetrate the protective barrier of skin could prove useful for the needle-free delivery of chemicals, drugs or vaccines into the skin. The main examples of these are the so-called ¿flexible liposomes¿, which are mixtures of lipids and detergents. In vitro experiments by numerous researchers have confirmed the skin-penetrating ability of these structures, which is believed to involve the squeezing of flexible bilayers through the pores in the stratum corneum. Here, we reexamine the structure of ¿flexible¿ liposome formulations and show that these are actually mixtures of liposomes and micelles. These findings are reinforced through a combination of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). We believe that our new findings necessitate a new mechanism for the penetration of soft assemblies into the skin. Several possibilities in this regard are considered, including one in which micelles facilitate the dynamic exchange of amphiphiles between liposomes and/or lipid bilayers.

Established in 1947 by Theodore Roethke, the University of Washington Creative Writing Program is a two-year Master of Fine Arts program offering degrees in poetry and prose. The program admits only ten to twelve students each year, which allows us to fully fund all accepted M.F.A. candidates through Teaching Assistantships in composition and creative writing, fellowships and an editorial position at The Seattle Review, our nationally-distributed literary journal. In addition, qualified applicants will be considered for the Pollock/GO-MAP Fellowship, a two-year fellowship for students of color and students from other underrepresented groups.
Our two-year program provides a working community for students in prose or poetry and affords them the time to concentrate on their writing and develop their skills. While the first year is devoted to participation in workshops and literary seminars, the second year allows for concentrated work on a thesis and masters essay under the supervision of one of our regular faculty. The relatively small size of our program (20-25 students) allows for close associations to develop among students and faculty.
Theodore Roethke, who was awarded a Pulitzer Prize while teaching at the University of Washington, led a legendary workshop, drawing students from across the country. The Creative Writing Program's tradition of transformative workshops continues with our current faculty, who include MacArthur Fellowship winners. The list of our alumni publications represents a significant chapter in the history of American literature. The program was ranked among the top ten in the country.
Students also enjoy Seattle's lively literary and arts scene. Seattle is home to numerous reading series, Northwest Bookfest, the Seattle International Film Festival, and many highly-acclaimed theater companies. Surrounded by spectacular scenery, Seattle is minutes away from hiking, skiing, and boating.

Sarah got Arnav his drink and drank some
He and Akash were talking about payal and he really wanted to see her and then some kids came running and pushed Arnav making him spill his drink and making a stein on his top
Arnav: shit
Akash: hey mind your language
Arnav: sorry I will go and clean it up is right back
Arnav: excuse me
Servant: yes sir
Arnav: where is the wash room?
Servant: if you go up and then it is on your right hand side
Arnav: ok thanks Arnav touched the man shoulder and walks off. Arnav walked up the stairs and reached the hall away
Arnav thinking: Wait what did that man said left or right left and then Arnav walked into the first left room
Arnav opened the door and walked in the room first thing he did was he looked around and he realized that this wasn't a washroom it looked like someone bed room
The room was pink on one side there was wall paper with flowers and gold swirls the other wall were baby pink the furniture was chocolate brown like his eyes, there was a dressing table which was covered with makeup and jewels and also a picture of two little girls hugging each other and one was kissing the other girl on the cheek Arnav smiled at this. Then is the middle of the room there was a big bed with black, gold, white and pink coloured bed sheets there were lot of pictures all around the room and the biggest one was on top of the bed there was a picture of Babuji, amma, Aman, Iqra, Payal, Khushi and a little baby in Iqra's arms they looked very happy there was a cupboard and a table with magazines and books. There was a door so Arnav thought that must be the washroom so he walked towards it but by accident he hit his leg on the table making a picture fall on to the floor
Arnav: OUCH!
Khushi was in her bathroom getting dressed she looked beautiful she wearing a pink saree she had her hair curled with diamonds clips. She had pink lip gloss and light pink eye shadow she also had some eyeliner which made her eyes look even prettier. She had matching earrings necklace and a tikka she just looks beautiful. She looked herself in the mirror
Khushi: hum there something missing oh yeah bangles Khushi was about to go into her room and get her bangles which were on her dressing table when she heard a bang of something falling : Hai DM what was that she put her hand onto the door knob and then she saw...
Arnav then saw that he had dropped something onto the floor and so he picked it up it was a picture frame it back to him so turned around to see a beautiful girl around in her 16 she had a beautiful smile she wearing a top but she was also wearing a tikka, necklace and some matching earrings she also had her arms lifted to you could see her bangles they were green and gold matching her earrings and necklace and tikka. She had fair milky skin
Khushi saw a big ugly spider in her bathroom and go scared as she hated spiders more than anything just after other stuff and she rushed out of the room and without looking she bushed into something hard but just right. Smell divine her eyes were closed
Arnav was about to put down the picture when someone bushed into him and not wanting the person to fall he let go of the picture frame and grabbed her letting the picture fall onto the ground he looked at her face and smiled she was the girl in the picture then she slowly opened her eyes making Arnav smirk
Khushi slowly opened her eyes to see a handsome man his eyes were just to die for just the way she wanted them to be chocolate brown like there furniture in her room but even better.
They both stared into each other's eyes and time froze
Arnav looked into her eyes there were beautiful the most prettiest eye he had ever set eyes on and he just wanted to stay like that her in his arms never wanting it to end
Khushi back into her sense now and so as Arnav (still in his arms) Khushi looked at him and then with her eye wide open with shock written all over her face
Arnav face was also in shock but also had his cute smirk along with it
Khushi: YOU!!!!

THE population of Scotland has grown by 5% over the last decade to a record high of 5,295,000.
The latest census results, published today, reveal that Scotland's population is now the highest in history.
It has beaten the previous record set in the 1970s and reverses declines seen since.
Women outnumber men at 2,728,000 compared to 2,567,000.
There are 3395 people for every square kilometre in Glasgow, compared to just nine in the Western Isles.
The figures also show that the under-fives population is up 6% compared with 2001.
Population growth is one of the three drivers of sustainable economic growth, says the Scottish Government along with increased productivity and continuing high rates of participation in the labour market.
Minister for Culture and External Affairs Fiona Hyslop said the figures represented a "historic" moment.
She said: "A decade and more of devolution has delivered a growing and record high population.
"That is not simply a sign of the dynamic, attractive nation we are building. It is also a key factor in delivering economic growth in future years.
"The Scottish Government set popula-tion growth as a key national target because we know it is one of the most important drivers of sustainable economic growth.
"Today's figures show that we are well on track to meet and even exceed that population growth target.
"Scotland has a large, established migrant community and we welcome the contribution new Scots are making to our economy and society.
"Scotland still faces challenges. In common with almost every mature economy, we have an ageing population, but these figures also show that the under-fives population is up by 6% compared with 2001."

it's official. tecmo says the new dead or alive title slated for a fall release will feature xbox live support. the new game will apparently include both doa and doa 2, but with better graphics and, of course, online play. dead or alive online's price and specific release date have not yet been announced. apparently there will be a playable version at e3 along with oodles of more details. if i were only going … some believe that this is the project tecmo announced last year as code cronus, though others think that it isn't since there are still rumors around saying there will be a full doa sequel in the future. hmmm.

actually doa has a more advanced fighting system then virtual fighter and is signifigantly more realistc then virtual fighter. but if your a ps2 fanboy you can think that its the best. – by ….

|dead or alive rules!!! (6:47pm est thu may 08 2003)
i have virtua fighter 4, tekken 4, and mortal kombat dead alliance for ps2. yet i believe dead or alive 3 is far superior than those other games in terms of graphics and gameplay. i enjoy playing doa3 on my xbox much more than those other games. the only game that can rival doa3 in terms of beauty, splendor, and gameplay is probably soul calibur 2 (i am playing the import on my xbox right now). i had the choice of getting either the ps2 or xbox version, but i always choose the xbox version of multiplatform games. anyone who says that the doa series sucks is someone who doesn't own an xbox and just owns a ps2. i think only people who have both ps2 and xbox and have all these games can make a valid comparison. – by console gamer

i've played 3-d mortal kombat games and got bored with them. i've played tekken4 and damn near fell asleep playing it. doa rulz!!! the combat system is way better and the ability to counter your opponents moves at the drop of a hat adds more life to the game. the only 3-d fighter that surpasses doa is soul calibur 2.(r.i.p. tekken) – by your father
|tekken (5:50pm est thu sep 15 2005)
doa sucks i played ultimate and it's the same like the other games plus tekken 5 kicks it's ass.
plus itagaki has no plans to change the figthting system or anything. falling off builings and moutians is fine but without a solid fighting system it's a weak game. – by anubis zero
|fighters (11:20am est sun nov 20 2005)
wow, most of you people should probably learn spelling and basic grammar before you post.
tekken vs. doa is like comparing mozart to mtv. on one hand you have depth and quality, on the other you have obnoxiousness and flash, plus tits.
i long for the day where character design is not totally dependant on the will to sell a game to hordes of semi-retarded, sexually frustrated idiots who have nothing else to spend their money on but the latest incarnation of a series that's evolution can be tracked solely on the bounciness of the women.
with no doubt whatsoever, tekken > doa. – by i win, shut up.
|doa the best (7:45am est fri dec 09 2005)
really, is the best if you don't like is because you can't play it!!!, you only can smash buttons like a retarded (tekken) you don't have the abilitie to do counters that kill the foe. and for tekken 5, it stops evolving since tekken 3, doa is always evolving. – by kenshin42
| tekken 5 vs. dead or alive 4 (9:00am est fri may 12 2006)
we want to see the characters of tekken 5 and dead or alive 4 collide in this no-holds-barred 3-d fighting game. – by rob campbell
|new rivalries (9:05am est fri may 12 2006)
how about this:
1. hayabusa vs. raven
|umm (8:16pm est fri aug 04 2006)
i'd rather have marshall law vs. jann lee. you seemed like you had a pattern with the other fights, and i thought it'd be interesting to keep the trend ongoing. so i would really enjoy seeing law vs. jann lee, considering they are both well known for being bruce lee impersonators – by tdr can't wait
|tekken vs. doa (6:28pm est thu sep 21 2006)
i agree with your list, and here is what i think:
christie vs. lei wu long(cops and badguys)or maybe nina vs.chritie because they're both assasins and they're both from uk.

Meet this week's Ag Kid: Miranda Coulson
Mon, 02 Jul 2012 16:17:18 GMT —
â??Iâ??ve always planted with my mom, but Iâ??ve never realized how much Iâ??ve had enjoyed it. I always want to go to the greenhouse now and help out. Itâ??s great to see them go from little mums to big mums.â??
Meet 16-year-old Miranda Coulson of Green City. When she was 9 years old, she got involved with the Green City 4-H Workers group showing rabbits and doing projects in sewing and photography. Then when she was a freshman at Green City R-1, she joined the Green City FFA and thatâ??s when her interest in agriculture really took off and has loved it since.
â??Itâ??s one of the greatest decisions Iâ??ve made," Coulson said. "Itâ??s my favorite extra curricular activity. Iâ??ve learned more in this club than anywhere else in school. Itâ??s done so much for me.â??
In the past three years Mirandaâ??s main project has been horticulture and grows mums in the summer and sells them in the fall. She keeps track of her plants in her record book and has received much recognition at the Missouri FFA State Convention. It has required a lot of responsibility and tender loving care but Miranda says itâ??s all worth it.
â??You see people buying them and you see them in yards around town. You get a good sense of pride,â?? Coulson said.
Miranda said she has been able to have some favorite moments planting over the years.
â??Iâ??ve always planted with my mom, but Iâ??ve never realized how much Iâ??ve had enjoyed it. I always want to go to the greenhouse now and help out. Itâ??s great to see them go from little mums to big mums.â??
Miranda plans to keep agriculture in her life and has learned so much from it.
â??Agriculture has changed me to grow as a person. Itâ??s helped to push me and go further and become more confident. You meet a lot of people and they are all sincere and hard working. I definitely want to continue in the field,â?? Coulson said.
When not in the greenhouse planting, Miranda is the acting second Vice President for her FFA club and on the marching bandâ??s dance team. She plans to go to Mizzou for college and study animal science to become a veterinarian.
Congratulations Miranda on being this week's Ag Kid.

A WELCOME shake-up of bus services in Caversham will come into force on Monday, July 2.
Reading Buses' Pink 22 will no longer run via Kidmore Road, Hemdean Road and Oakley Road, and will revert to using Priest Hill before resuming its normal course along The Mount and Albert Road. Changes made in September were reviewed following a public backlash and the company reintroduced outbound buses to Priest Hill before 10am.
Reading Borough Council has since agreed to restrict parking in Priest Hill to create more space for passing vehicles, prompting Reading Buses' to bring back services in both directions throughout the day.
Chief executive James Freeman said it became apparent the revised route was taking longer than the time allowed, particularly during peak hours. He stressed Hemdean Road will continue to be served by the Pink 24, and added: "We have come to the conclusion that reverting to the original route is the least worst option all round."
"As a result of the changes, the council is re-routing its Community Link 28 to service, which will travel from Reading Bridge via Henley Road, Caversham Park Road, Kiln Road, Marchwood Avenue and Tower Close to Peppard Road, Kidmore End Road, Grove Road, Evesham Road, Rotherfield Way and Hemdean Road to Caversham village."
The council said it has been able to make the changes, which will also begin on July 2, because the 28 will no longer have to serve The Mount area. It has come under criticism from Caversham Park residents, who have been unable to get a direct bus to Emmer Green surgery in St Barnabas Road or Caversham village. Under the changes there will be three buses a day from Caversham Park, at 9.25am, 11.25am and 1.55pm.

Michigan State vs. Ohio State
Post Game Quotes
Ohio State Head Coach Thad Matta Opening Statement... "Certainly for us it was a great win on the road tonight. I am really proud of our guys and the effort they gave tonight. Going into the second half we tried to focus on doing a better job of rebounding and I think we did that. We hit some real big shots and free throws down the stretch and our all of our guys played hard and contributed when they were on the floor."
On his team's defense... "Our awareness was much better tonight than it was in game one. I think last time we lost our heads on occasion and gave them a lot of easy baskets. Tonight we were very solid with our team defense."
On the absence of Matt Trannon... "That is a huge blow for their team. I think he had 14 points and 11 rebounds against us the last time. He's a senior and he brings a lot of leadership and maturity to their lineup. Its very disruptive, especially on defense, to lose a guy like Matt Trannon."
Michigan State Head Coach Tom Izzo Opening Statement... "I thought our start really hurt us. In the first half, it seemed like most of the plays we ran went down, and we held them on the three-point shots after their first couple shots right at the beginning - and we rebounded the ball a lot. In the second half, we got the lead and played well enough, but there were a couple of stretches that wore us down a little bit. Hats off to them - they played a great game, especially the last four minutes."
On the poor rebounding in the second half...
