$5.99More InfoFlathead Ford No-Lead Hardened Valve Seat, Exhaustx
The flathead Ford V8 was designed to run on fuel with high levels of lead, but even with leaded fuel, the stock valves will eventually hammer the seats out, which will close up the valve lash and leave your valves hanging open...that is if you don't seize a valve to the guides first!
Remember what year your engine was built and how fatigued the valve train components are. Henry may have built them right with the technology he had available then, but this is now and we have the modern components you need.
These 0.060 oversize valve seats are made of a specially hardened material to combat the effect of unleaded fuel and higher performance. Machine work is required for installation. Intake has a 30° seat and exhaust has a 45° seat.

"You have to feel it and see it," David Yurman says. He's speaking of texture, an indispensible element of every design he creates. Cabled, polished, and hammered metal are combined with diamond pavé and smooth and faceted stones to create a feast for sight and touch.
The Royal Cord collection untwists the linear filaments of the signature David Yurman Cable design to create a clean, rhythmic texture. The result is a scored surface of perfect precision. The collection's name is derived from the word "corduroy"—which means "cord of the king" in French.

Moving CCSF Forward
City College of San Francisco is open and accredited – and moving Forward to become a stronger institution.
In July, the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) announced its preliminary decision to terminate City College of San Francisco's accreditation, effective July 31, 2014.
The Commission's decision, however, is not final. City College remains open while pursuing a review and appeal process, which could take more than a year. Students now enrolled at City College will have their credits count toward degrees, certificates and transfer, and there is no change to financial aid eligibility or availability.
A special trustee, Dr. Robert Agrella, has been appointed to lead City College as we navigate through the appeals process. We will be communicating with you about our progress toward retaining our accreditation every step of the way.
With assistance from our partners across San Francisco and throughout California, we are committed to ensuring this important institution improves and moves forward to continue serving our community.
We know you will have questions. This website was created to help answer them. We encourage students to continue pursuing their dreams at City College and hope that anyone with a stake in the future of City College will visit this site often for news and updates on our progress.
Follow our accreditation progress with our Roadmap to Success.

That is the question. I don't know much about swaddling, other than I know some babies like it and some don't. What are the pros and cons of swaddling?
That is the question. I don't know much about swaddling, other than I know some babies like it and some don't. What are the pros and cons of swaddling?
Jessica (34) DH (39) This is a first for both of us
A quick google search yielded this article, which I did not read in full but I liked the pro/con bullet point list at the bottom which I thought was really good.
I had recently read some negatives about swaddling. I was considering using it with my 3rd to help with breastfeeding in the first week or so. With my other two I had to have someone help me with spastic baby arms/hands while trying to get the baby to latch. I thought perhaps swaddling would take care of that ... and it still might. It sounds like it's not something I would do, full time, because of some of the cons listed, though.
Neither of my boys liked to be what I called "baby burritos" in the hospital, though. The nurses would wrap them up tight and I'd loosen then up. They probably hated me. Too bad. My baby! ;)

baby burritos.... LOL!!!
Jessica (34) DH (39) This is a first for both of us
Dd1 hated swaddling. Dd2 only liked it first month. I now discovered zipeedee zip sleeping bags which are awesome - they are less restrictive than swaddling and more restrictive than regular sleeping bags. Yet allow tge baby to roll over. I won one in a contest and tried it on friend's son. She and he loved it so much that wanted to borrow but I selfishly said no as they wouldn't be done for another couple of months lol I will try swaddling at least partially with this baby as well but will see if he likes it.
Most of my babies did better swaddled, but most of them also had one degree of reflux or another and it really helped calm them (and you can swaddle them with their hands next to their face or just swaddle one arm down...that might help a baby who is resistant to being swaddled, but keeps getting their hands in the way while trying to bf) . I never swaddle tightly, nor do I keep them constantly swaddled...I thought the article Dorcas posted was very good!
Varya...I googled the zipadeezip bags, loooove it and am for sure going to get one to try it. I'll still swaddle, but what a perfect transition...I like that they can't get "stuck" in it (I've had babies somehow get their arms into a fleece bag-type sleeper and pull it over their faces trying to get their hands to their mouths...scared the bajibbers out of them...and me!).
My only baby who didn't like swaddling was my first and I had polyhydramnios so I think she wasn't used to so much restriction since she had a lot room due to the excess fluid .
I do a lot of babywearing right from birth so that may be why mine like swaddling so much also.
We called them burrito babies too. I swaddled both of mine but neither would ever keep their arms in it. I felt like it helped them sleep better.
The benefits are: you're holding them without the actual holding--it's hand free, they feel secure, they get your scent, they have the nice sensation of your movements, it helps with body temperature regulation. If you're using one outside the home, you don't have to worry about carrying a car seat or stroller.
Cons would be: if you don't get the positioning right, it can be dangerous or cause discomfort to both of you.
Jessica (34) DH (39) This is a first for both of us
Kelly, they feel awesome and I really appreciated that the owner of the company still sent me one even though I apparently didn't qualify due to location - it was a raffle copter which I entered to support a fellow blogger. And it is true that can't get stuck - my friend's son was on his tummy happy and comfy. So hope your baby and mine like them. Lol
Jessica, Moby is awesome. However I struggled a tiny bit due to mine being stretch type. In heat and humidity I had to adjust it multiple times as it would expand from getting wet from sweat but dd2 LOVED it. And I passed it on to a friend and she loved it too. We don't have woven wraps available here so I will be making my own.
I also had Beco and it was awesome. Now I want Boba but they are expensive here. I might get Boba air later on.
http://www.mobywrap.com/s.nl/sc.23/....ame=MLB%20Reds Dorcas, here is the link to the Reds wrap... Not that you want Reds, but look how cute, AND they're the same price as any of the design ones.
Ok, so it is 100% cotton, but I don't know if that's stretchy cotton or not??
Jessica (34) DH (39) This is a first for both of us
The more I look at the zipadeezips, the more I love it...I wish they came in something other than poly, but I can see why...it holds it's shape and has a little give so it makes sense .
The two downsides to the moby IMO are:
1. it is stretchy so you have to be careful since baby can fall out and I personally wouldn't feel comfortable using it with a back carry...never have, never will
2. It's long and I'm short, lol, so if I'm wrapping outside, a good amount of it is on the ground or parking lot ()...I try to wrap before I leave to go shopping, etc...so I can just plop baby in and go
I love the moby because it keeps baby up high and tight. I'm so short-torsoed that with most other carriers I use my legs are hitting baby in the butt while I walk because even with everything as tight as it can go, baby is still hanging too low for my personal comfort.
I have heard of Mei Tai carriers referred to as wraps, again, not so, and I can't use those either...they fall off my shoulders entirely, but some women absolutely love them.
Anyway, lol, just rambling . It would be good if you know anyone IRL who has one to ask if you can borrow it to kind of get the feel for it before making the purchase. I bought mine when I was pg and used it with my toddler before the baby came because starting with zero experience and trying to get it wrapped when baby is screaming can be very frustrating! Or buy it from a store with a good return policy like Target and try it out with a stuffed animal (lol, I used DD's American Girl Bitty Baby to practice wraps for newborns ). You can always return it and buy the one you want or forgo it if you decide it's not for you. I did that with an Ergo...it definitely wasn't for me, too bulky (short torso thing again).
Which Boba are you ladies referring to? On their site I see a couple of different options. http://www.boba.com/store/
The Moby is a stretchy cotton, so I 2nd V's issue with sweat and stretching, though even in the Southern US I didn't have too much trouble with that ... just something to be aware of. I would never bend over with my baby/kid in a Moby without supporting them anyway, and my hands naturally rested on their bums. That said, I felt like I could put baby in the Moby and use both hands to do stuff. I may not have opted for a lot of high heat cooking while baby wearing, but that's about it for things to avoid in my mind.
Jessica, I totally went straight to google and searched "Moby Dodgers." SUPER cute. I wish they had a solid Dodger blue with white letters, but I guess I'll have to make do with the reverse. My DH said we could use the new white Moby for "high society events."
Kelly, at your starting over with girl clothes with DD3! I have definitely still picked up cute stuff for DS3 along the way. I'd feel bad not supplementing new since I can. I am being reasonable, though. Not like I'm going to put what I'm not spending into a "feed my teenage sons" account, though.
I have this in my amazon cart just to throw something else out there http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=AYSGJS3HJ9HIE
And I protest that the Moby doesn't come in a Brewers version!
Last edited by Cosmosmom; 06-19-2014 at 11:34 AM.
I definitely do feel hands-free with the moby though, just to clarify...like Dorcas said, it's just bending over where I feel the need to support them with my hand
Haha, of course now I'm looking at the Beco...loving all the color/pattern options on Amazon . I've also heard Becos are better for petite women (under 5'4").
Jennifer...I haven't heard of that brand, I'm assuming it compares with the Beco/Boba/Ergo carriers? *Edited, lol, I see the pics with kiddos in them now ...definitely looks comparable to the others I mentioned!

Yup it is. I added that one to my cart after reading tons of reviews comparing different kinds and watching videos and this one seemed to come out on top. I also was specifically looking for one that a little bigger waist belt. It came down to the lillebaby or the beco. I don't have anywhere nearby that sells them or can try on different kinds.
Video reviews have been fantastic for me in buying baby gear so far.
Kelly, I'm short, and I think also short torsoed, but I'm not sure... LOL!! but a friend of mine loves her Mei Tai carrier. I do like the way that you can back carry well, but I like that the Moby you can hip carry...
Jessica (34) DH (39) This is a first for both of us
The k'tan (at least the one I have) is two loops tied together, but there is a third wrap piece that you use to make things more secure. I really don't think just the two loops would be ok, so just in case you were wondering about that!
These other carriers look neat, but their price tags are prohibitive to me when I feel like other than the "excessive fabric" part, the Moby does everything that the other carriers do (and maybe more because of various positions that the baby can be in?).
One of the things that I LOVE LOVE LOVE about the Moby is that you can adjust the fabric across your shoulders to get a broader base for the weight ... which means less strain on that bra strap area of your shoulders (where other carriers just sit). Being able to adjust that fabric I just HUGE for me.
Looks like the k'tan works much in the same way as the Moby, except that you don't have "all that extra fabric" nor do you have to tie it up ... but, that being said, I kinda like that I can adjust the tightness of the Moby and I don't have to worry about my kid's size nor my own changing too much because the Moby is just a big piece of fabric.
When I am tying my Moby in public, I stuff my pockets (waist band if no pockets) with the ends of the fabric to avoid it dropping on the ground. Even if it does, though, I'm less germaphobic about it because those ends don't come close to touching baby.
Now I'm getting excited for baby wearing!
With the age difference between DS1 and DS2 I used an infant carrier/carseat a lot more than I wore DS2, but I think with the age difference with DS3 it's definitely going to be a sweet spot for baby wearing. The older boys are big enough to listen to me and wait while I get the baby in position, etc.

With Moby you can always cut some fabric off. That's what my find did. The Moby I had was huge even for me and she is petit. Yes, the downside is all the wrapping but before going out I used to pre-wrap it on myself (you get a hang of it with time and practice and you will know exactly how tight to tie it) even if I had the baby in stroller.
Beco was really comfy but dd2 was tall so she kinda grew out fast. But I liked how easy it was for a newborn -the clip on insert worked well. Though by 1+ months she already had her feet out - she just didn't accept newborn positions as she was that long!
If you have a baby wearing club in close proximity I recommend going there and taking look at different carriers.
I never got k'tan as I couldn't figure out what size I could use - they come in think in 3 sizes. But some of my friends used it and said it was alright.
Kelly, if you want a woven wrap, you can make it yourself. Cause basically it is a piece of cloth and you just need to secure the ends/sides so fabric doesn't tear.
I also want to ask my in-laws to bring me a Tanzanian wrap when they come.

Streamlined Session Control
Featuring eight assignable knobs, nine assignable sliders, dedicated transport controls and track up/down buttons, Oxygen 49 gives you total control over your session—allowing you to stay engaged in the creative flow of recording and mixing music rather than being interrupted by the constant back and forth between QWERTY keyboard and MIDI controller. DirectLink mode automatically maps Oxygen 49 controls to common DAW parameters*—while factory presets provide instant mapping to popular virtual instruments including Xpand!™2, Hybrid™, Velvet®, Strike®, Oddity, ImpOSCar and MiniMonsta. Use the dedicated Select buttons to quickly switch MIDI channels and presets for deep tactile control over multitimbral software instruments. Interfacing a MIDI controller with your software doesn't get any easier than this.
Professional Quality
M-Audio pioneered the category of mobile MIDI keyboard controllers, and we continue to be the best-selling name in the game. In fact, M-Audio controllers are used by more professional producers and players than any other brand on the market. Thanks to continued innovation over the course of nearly a decade, you'll find that the Oxygen 49 controller has a solid, reliable build—and puts as much musicality into the keyboard as it does into the complement of other MIDI controls.
Pro Tools Compatible
The Oxygen 49 MIDI controller offers out-of-the-box integration with Pro Tools® software—the industry standard DAW found in professional, project and personal studios around the world. With DirectLink, the Oxygen 49 controls instantly map to key parameters in the Pro Tools Mixer, Edit and Transport windows—as well as the powerful suite of virtual instruments bundled with Pro Tools. Together, Oxygen 49 and Pro Tools software provide streamlined workflow in a formidable system with tons of interface options and industry-standard file compatibility.A New Approach to Making Music
With Ignite, you can now capture your ideas quickly with professional results. Individual musical ideas are captured as phrases, simply called clips. Multiple clips can be played back together, or even grouped to create more complex phrases and song sections. Ignite provides seamless integration with any current M-Audio keyboard controller. Once connected to your computer, the key parameters will be automatically assigned, or mapped, to the front panel controllers. This tight integration provides an out-of-the-box solution that simply works—with no set-up chores to perform.Sound Your Best
Included with Ignite are over 275 remarkable instrument sounds developed by AIR Music Technology. In addition to a versatile arpeggiator, Smart MIDI technology provides both a Chord Player and a Phrase Player that can introduce new musical parts to enhance your production—even a drum pattern. Email your ideas to the rest of the band. Share your musical ideas and songs with other musicians through SoundCloud—all without ever leaving Ignite. Plus, you can export WAV and MIDI files, and then import them into any DAW recording software—including Pro Tools.

Though, I'm concerned, if you look at the cap, the letters are a blue color, yet on the official website, they're black. (http://www.bondno9.com/images/photos...jpg?1253522145) What gives? Trying to make look more attractive on Bond's site and that's not the actual look or?
L'Essence de Cerutti by Cerutti
Had over $100.00 in my Paypal account from various items I've sold on eBay. Decided to blind buy this since it was so cheap (100 ml for $29.99)
Lead us not into temptation...
Today I DIDN'T buy French Lover (but it would have been an impulse purchase if it were $50 cheaper), Sequoia and Avignon. I was so close to giving into the impulse. Now I must be strong and convince myself I'm better off buying decants of these as well as the rest of the incense line rather than a FB of just a couple of scents.

One day there was this guy. He was washing up in his shower which had a window which was opened. As he was washing up the soap popped out his hands and flew out the window and into the bush right outside his house. He screamed "SHIT" and went out to go grab it really fast. Outside there was a group of kids and Timmy noticed the bush shaking so he went over to check it out. When he walked over to the bush and started to mess with it the soap flew out the bush. He ran back to his friends excited saying hey if you go over there and tug on the bush soap will fly out so Becka walked over and started pulling on the bush. She came back to Timmy and said "Well I didn't get any soap all I got was a handful of lotion."

(Reuters) - Exact Sciences Corp said its molecular screening test for colorectal cancer met a late-stage trial goal of detecting the disease in more patients than other commonly used tests, but shares fell 28 percent as the results were not as robust as some were expecting.
Exact's test, which identifies abnormal DNA in cells shed in a patient's stool, detected 92 percent of colorectal cancers and 42 percent of pre-cancerous polyps in a large late-stage study.
"Pre-cancerous sensitivity, which was the key metric investors were looking at, was well below expectations," Wedbush Securities analyst Zarak Khurshid said, adding that "lower pre-cancer sensitivity may limit the eventual addressable opportunity for the test."
Khurshid was expecting a 55 percent detection rate for pre-cancerous polyps.
Exact's non-invasive test was developed to be a more accurate alternative to currently available non-invasive screenings.
The study compared the performance of its Cologuard test to colonoscopy and fecal immunochemical testing that looks for blood in a stool sample.
While a colonoscopy is considered the most accurate method of detecting colon cancer and polyps, many people avoid the recommended test as it involves inserting a flexible tube into the colon.
The trial was conducted on 10,000 patients between the ages of 50 and 84 years, who were at average risk for colorectal cancer.
Madison, Wisconsin-based Exact Sciences plans to submit the study data to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as part of its approval application.
Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States, responsible for about 50,000 deaths a year.
The company's shares were down 28 percent to $7.16 before the bell. They closed at $9.97 on Wednesday on the Nasdaq.

Has anyone here had a homebirth after a PE birth? My 1st child was an induction in the hosp. The 2nd was an unplanned homebirth and my 3rd was a planned homebirth. Jared was supposed to be a homebirth also, but it of course did not happen that way. My question is after you have PE is it possible to have a pregnancy that has NO signs and therefore be considered normal?? I know in some instances a high risk OB can sign off for a homebirth if everything checks out. BUT, even if you show no signs of PE, can it show up after you go into labor?? For a normal birth you can do it at home after 37 weeks. I know a homebirth would be pushing it, but I thought I'd ask ya'll if it was a possibility. I thought I'd never have another hospital birth, but i'd do it in a minute to have another baby. Thanks for listening.

It's easy to be focused on the negative in sports. We talk more about who lost than who won, more about who didn't get a title than who did. It's a world of "glass half empty."
And then something like this happens:
I know that Matt Kemp didn't think about anyone else except that boy in that moment. I get that the realization and the attention may bother him a little. That makes it all the better, that he did it without any notions of glory.
Good on ya, Matt Kemp.

The Wall Street Journal and others have been covering the Wikimedia Foundation's announcement of a new Terms of Use. The updated terms require that if you are editing Wikipedia on behalf of a person or organization that you have a financial connection with, that you disclose your affiliation. In other words, marketing professionals are not allowed to pretend to be another member of Wikipedia's anonymous crowd - we have to disclose our affiliation with a client or employer before contributing.
The FAQ that accomodates the new Terms of Use explains what we've been saying at Ethical Wiki for over a year; that this disclosure is already required by section 255.5 of the Federal Trade Commission's commercial practices law. This law is intended to prevent astrotufing, where financial interests make it appear as though their message is coming from a more independent source than it is actually.

NEW YORK (AP) -- A year ago Bill de Blasio was an overlooked New York City mayoral candidate who was coldly received by a group of business leaders when he outlined his plan to raise taxes on the wealthy.
De Blasio returned to the same gathering on Friday as the favorite to become mayor, and was greeted with a standing ovation.
De Blasio is the public advocate and Democratic nominee. He addressed the Association for a Better New York in a Times Square hotel ballroom.
He said he knew not everyone would agree with his plan. But de Blasio said the group would have to work together to fight income inequality.
De Blasio leads Republican rival Joe Lhota by nearly 50 points in the polls. The general election is Nov. 5.

Brain Cancer Study Suggests New Standard of Treatment
The results of a large clinical trial show that a drug for treating the most common brain tumor in adults can prolong survival among some patients by several months when given concurrently with radiation.
In the randomized trial, 573 Canadian and European patients with glioblastoma received either radiation plus the drug temozolomide (Temodar) or radiation alone. Patients who received temozolomide lived, on average, 2.5 months longer than those who received radiation alone, according to results reported in the March 10 New England Journal of Medicine.
Glioblastoma kills most patients within a year of diagnosis, and there have been few advances in treatment in recent decades. Read more
New Tools in the Fight Against Brain Tumors
This week's lead story discusses two studies that provide important advances in the treatment of glioblastoma, the most common form of brain tumor in adults. In one of the studies, the activation status of a specific gene is shown to correlate with response to the combination of temozolomide and radiotherapy.
As this study shows, researchers are amassing a large library of molecular and genetic data. What's lacking are broader efforts to collect and channel these data into a single, comprehensive resource. One effort to fill this breach is the Glioma Molecular Diagnostic Initiative (GMDI), a study launched last year by the Neuro-Oncology Branch, jointly led by NCI and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. GMDI-derived data will be available in a publicly accessible database known as REMBRANDT, a component of the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG). GMDI includes a retrospective study of about 300 glioma tumor specimens and a 1,000- to 1,500-patient prospective study involving two NCI-funded brain tumor consortia and other NCI-funded institutions. Patients in the prospective study will have samples of their surgically-removed tumors sent to NCI for genetic and molecular analyses; findings will be correlated with each patient's clinical course. REMBRANDT also will house molecular and genetic data on all brain tumor types. Read more
Brain Cancer Study Suggests New Standard of Treatment
The results of a large clinical trial show that a drug for treating the most common brain tumor in adults can prolong survival among some patients by several months when given concurrently with radiation.
In the randomized trial, 573 Canadian and European patients with glioblastoma received either radiation plus the drug temozolomide (Temodar) or radiation alone. Patients who received temozolomide lived, on average, 2.5 months longer than those who received radiation alone, according to results reported in the March 10 New England Journal of Medicine.
Glioblastoma kills most patients within a year of diagnosis, and there have been few advances in treatment in recent decades.
"The new approach is a modest but important improvement in the treatment of the disease," says Dr. Gregory Cairncross of the University of Calgary, Canada, a co-leader of the study. "It's a treatment we'll be using until we find something better."
Though the increase in survival is only several months, it represents a "substantial step forward" in the treatment of the disease, says Dr. Lisa DeAngelis, chairman of the Department of Neurology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
"This is the first time any drug has shown a significant effect on outcome for this disease," explains Dr. DeAngelis. "But I don't want people to think that we are curing these tumors. I wish that were so, but we're not there yet."
Memorial Sloan-Kettering and some other cancer centers, including the National Cancer Institute (NCI), are already using the experimental strategy. Dr. Howard Fine, chief of NCI's Neuro-Oncology Branch, and his colleagues have used it for several years, and he welcomes the new findings as confirmation of their approach.
"The power of this clinical trial is clear, and it is my hope that this will be the new standard of treatment for this tumor," says Dr. Fine. "The bad news is that the median survival was only increased by 2.5 months and 74 percent of the patients taking temozolomide died within 2 years."
He cautions: "All of our new approaches will build on this new treatment strategy, but we need to keep the results in perspective."
In a related study, also in the March 10 New England Journal of Medicine, European and Canadian researchers, led by Dr. Roger Stupp of University Hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland, identified a gene that may be associated with the responsiveness to temozolomide and could potentially be a biological "marker" to indicate response to the therapy.
The researchers report that patients who benefited from taking temozolomide plus radiation tended to have tumors in which a key gene - called MGMT - had been "silenced" by the addition of a chemical to the gene, a naturally occurring process known as methylation.
If further studies confirm the finding, doctors could one day identify patients who may benefit from the therapy by testing the MGMT gene to learn whether or not it has been silenced. Testing the gene, however, is difficult, and as yet no widely available test exists.
A third study in the March 10 New England Journal of Medicine focused on treating the most common brain tumor in children, medulloblastoma. German researchers found that young children who received chemotherapy alone following surgery for their tumors could achieve long remissions and avoid the radiation therapy that can cause permanent brain damage.
"This study is further confirmation that some very young children can be spared the toxic effects of cerebrospinal radiation, and that a certain percentage of them will be long-term, disease-free survivors," says Dr. Fine.

This week's lead story discusses two studies that provide important advances in the treatment of glioblastoma, the most common form of brain tumor in adults.

As this study shows, researchers are amassing a large library of molecular and genetic data.

One effort to fill this breach is the Glioma Molecular Diagnostic Initiative (GMDI), a study launched last year by the Neuro-Oncology Branch, jointly led by NCI and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. GMDI-derived data will be available in a publicly accessible database known as REMBRANDT, a component of the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG). GMDI includes a retrospective study of about 300 glioma tumor specimens and a 1,000- to 1,500-patient prospective study involving two NCI-funded brain tumor consortia and other NCI-funded institutions. Patients in the prospective study will have samples of their surgically-removed tumors sent to NCI for genetic and molecular analyses; findings will be correlated with each patient's clinical course. REMBRANDT also will house molecular and genetic data on all brain tumor types.
The current classification system for brain tumors does not account for the recent genetic analyses that indicate that there are likely many types of gliomas. As a result, the system is not consistently predictive of prognosis or response to therapies. GMDI and REMBRANDT can help change that. Specifically, the data from the prospective GMDI study will help to validate the biologic models built from the molecular and genetic data collected from tumor specimens in the retrospective study. With REMBRANDT, we should be able to build a data-rich, molecular database that can produce a clinically significant biological classification system for all types of gliomas.
As Dr. Howard Fine, chief of NCI's Neuro-Oncology Branch, explains, REMBRANDT will integrate diverse data sets, including SNP array, expression array, proteomics, and clinical data. With such data available, less sophisticated users, such as clinicians, can get concrete answers to important clinical questions, allowing them to make more logical treatment decisions.
If early work is any indication, GMDI and REMBRANDT also will be invaluable to researchers. Scientists in the NCI Neuro-Oncology Laboratory, for instance, using data from the retrospective component of GMDI, were able to identify the protein HDAC1 as a key player in the sensitivity of a rare form of glioma, oligodendroglioma, to chemotherapy. Further lab experiments showed that downregulation of HDAC1 improved oligodendroglioma tumor cells' sensitivity to chemo. Dr. Fine's team took this information to the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program, and two phase I and II trials testing two HDAC inhibitors in patients with recurrent gliomas are now underway. Many of the patients being accrued to these trials are part of GMDI.
The GMDI/REMBRANDT initiative encapsulates much of what we are trying to accomplish at NCI. It's fueled by advances in technology and an understanding of cancer's biology. More important, it's a collaborative effort that relies on intramural and extramural researchers, NCI-funded consortia, and multiple National Insitutes of Health institutes. It's both a model and a vital part of our advancement toward the 2015 goal.

Hodgkin's Lymphoma: Trying to Improve Upon a Cure
The vast majority of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) can be cured, but some go on to develop another cancer or heart disease later in life. Many patients are young, and the risks of secondary illnesses caused by curing the disease are increasingly viewed as unacceptable. The challenge for the field now is to develop less toxic therapies that still cure patients.
"HL is facing the same issues as any other disease or any other cancer," said Dr. C. Norman Coleman, who directs NCI's Radiation Oncology Sciences Program. "Basically you'd like to be able to predict who's going to respond to which therapies, and begin to select individualized therapies."
A disease of the lymph system, HL was one of the first cancers found to respond to radiation and also one of the first success stories of chemotherapy. Most patients today are treated with chemotherapy and radiation, but there is no consensus among the experts about which combinations work for which patients, or even whether radiation should routinely be given along with chemotherapy.
Clinical trials are under way around the world to try to resolve some of these long-standing questions. Meanwhile, researchers are trying to identify genes, proteins, or other biological markers associated with a patient's response to treatment. If doctors could identify responders and nonresponders, they could begin to tailor therapies to individual patients.
In Germany, for example, a pilot study is under way to create a "toxicity index" that doctors might use to make decisions about treatments based on a patient's genetic makeup. To create the index, researchers will catalogue more than 800 patients, noting variations in the genes involved in breaking down drugs. These volunteer patients will be followed for at least 5 years.
One of the first clinical applications of such an index might be to identify patients at risk for severe toxicity who should, therefore, be treated in a hospital rather than on an outpatient basis, as is typically done.
"Many patients prone to developing toxicity from cancer treatment would have a better clinical outcome if treated as inpatients, but this requires that you identify these patients first," explained Dr. Roman Thomas of the University Hospital of Cologne, Germany, who is leading the index project and is currently at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Perhaps the most effective way to deal with the toxicity problem would be to develop targeted therapies along the lines of a drug like imatinib (Gleevec) that selectively kills cancer while sparing healthy tissues. In recent years research on the cells involved in HL has suggested several avenues of research, but the key events that cause cells to become malignant are not yet known.
"Much progress has been made, but we still don't know the primary transforming mechanisms in HL, and these are likely to provide the good drug targets," said Dr. Daniel Re, a member of the German Hodgkin's Lymphoma Study Group (GHSG) who is currently at the Burnham Institute.
GHSG leaders are planning to form a new HL study group this June at a scientific meeting in Lugano, Switzerland. "The aim is build a registry for all ongoing studies and to recruit more patients for early clinical trials dealing mostly with experimental therapies in a shorter time," explained Dr. Re.
HL is relatively rare and develops slowly so it can take a long time to gather meaningful results about the effectiveness of new therapies. In addition, the ability to cure 90 percent of patients has made many doctors understandably cautious about new therapies and less likely to enroll patients in experimental trials.
"When you are so successful in treating a disease it becomes harder to back off and try new approaches," said Dr. Vincent DeVita, Jr., of Yale University's Cancer Center. In an editorial published in the January issue of Nature Clinical Practice Oncology, he calls this reluctance to explore experimental therapies "the curse of the cure."
But he has reason to be hopeful. HL faced a similar situation in 1964, when studies led by NCI demonstrated that chemotherapy drugs were more effective than the then-current practice of radiation. These new chemotherapy treatments, which were eventually adopted, are still used today.
"The good news is that 30 years ago people used to die of this disease, and now they don't," said Dr. DeVita.

NCI Testifies at House Appropriations Hearing
NCI Director Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach joined NIH Director Dr. Elias Zerhouni and other NIH institute directors in testifying at a March 9 hearing on the fiscal year 2006 NIH budget before the House Appropriations Subcommittee of the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education. The Administration's budget request of $28.7 billion for NIH includes $4.8 billion for NCI, a $16.5 million increase over FY 2005.
In his statement to the Subcommittee, Dr. Zerhouni highlighted the progress being made in cancer research and in reducing the cancer disease burden. Dr. Zerhouni cited decreases in mortality for 8 of the 15 cancers that affect men and 7 of the 15 that affect women, with a 1.1 percent reduction in death rate, as evidence of the "deceleration of the burden of disease due to cancer."
Subcommittee Chairman Ralph Regula (R-Ohio) asked Dr. von Eschenbach about NCI's efforts to foster development of health information systems. The director provided the subcommittee with an update on the caBIG initiative. The goal is to "create a 'World Wide Web' for cancer research," Dr. von Eschenbach said. During the initial year of caBIG, he continued, NCI has worked with the nation's major cancer centers to develop an open electronic infrastructure to support research collaborations.
In his written testimony, Dr. von Eschenbach also noted that caBIG has begun to bear its first fruits with the release of NCI's caArray, "a prototype software application that is made freely available to facilitate the sharing and analysis of microarray data by the medical research community." NCI and its partners are also developing an online information infrastructure to support clinical trials management and electronic drug approval submissions to the FDA, he noted. "The first system module - the Federal Investigator Registry (Firebird) - starts pilot testing this spring."
Representative Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.) asked about the progress being made on breast cancer early diagnosis and treatment. Dr. von Eschenbach outlined NCI's comprehensive research approach to the disease, including identification of biomarkers for early stage disease, the risks for relapse, and identifying best treatment approaches.
Representative Randy Cunningham (R-Calif.), a prostate cancer survivor, thanked Dr. von Eschenbach for conducting talks on prostate cancer in the San Diego and Washington, D.C., areas. Noting the high attendance at both meetings, Rep. Cunningham highlighted how communities collectively have expressed interest in learning about and discussing the disease.

Proteomics Research Center Honors Biomarker Pioneer
"George Wright was focused on the heart of the biomarker problem long before the term proteomics was first uttered by a scientist," says EDRN Director Dr. Sudhir Srivastava. "The term 'pioneer' fits him like a glove, because of the obstacles he faced and overcame to develop one of the seminal proteomics labs in the country. He was tenacious with ideas that were far from mainstream, and the field will be shaped by his contributions for years to come."
Dr. Srivastava joined Dr. Wright and Dr. Oliver Semmes, the center's current director at the February 24 dedication ceremony for the new EVMS research facility.
Proteomics, explained Dr. Wright, is "the study of expressed proteins, elucidating their structure, function, and how they interrelate, especially in normal versus disease conditions." He has seen the field come a long way, though he warns that "discovering and analyzing proteins has historically been a daunting task, and we still have a long way to go. We're closing in, however, with some very powerful new tools," he said, alluding to a biochip microarray that is hardwired to discriminate between protein expression fingerprints from normal and cancerous tissue.
Dr. Wright has concentrated on prostate cancer, and over the last dozen years has seen the value of the once revolutionary prostate specific antigen test prove increasingly limited. Scientists have been evolving better ways to characterize protein structure, function, and behavior, and Dr. Wright has been a major force driving a new imaging technology called surface-enhanced laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry , which "holds great promise," he said. A recent study from Dr. Semmes' lab at the proteomics center and five other ERDN sites confirmed that this method of imaging proteins can reliably be used across labs in different locations. (See NCI Cancer Bulletin, Jan. 25, 2005.)
In a collaboration with another EDRN partner, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Institute in Seattle, Dr. Wright's group demonstrated a clinical test for prostate cancer that is more specific and sensitive than the test currently in use. "We may be able to detect incipient cancers as much as 5 years earlier," he said. EDRN continues to mount multi-center trials to validate this clinically promising breakthrough.
EDRN's mission is to discover markers that might appear in cancer patients at an earlier stage than do current screening methods. Dr. Srivastava stresses the importance of the final step in the biomarker discovery process: translating basic science findings into clinical tools by fostering collaboration among scientists across the development spectrum.

For my county's foster/adoption licensing program. We have to get licensed before we can enter the system and these 8 classes (ugh - late nights after long days, costing us about 1000 in babysitting feed) are one of the hurdles. It's supposed to train us but more important to us, it will answer many of our outstanding questions: what do you do when you fall in love with a kid only to see them go back to a bad home? Or you don't fall in love with a kid and they have to go back? Or how does our 3 yo adjust to having playmates and potential siblings coming in and out of the house? What if a child is volient towards our son? etc.
My husband is doing this somewhat reluctantly. Maybe not kicking and screaming but he's clearly not thrilled. He says that he's open to hearing what they have to say, but it's mostly b/c he thinks that I'll resent him for the rest of our lives if we don't do this. I don't know if that's the case, but I know that the desire to have a bigger family, to help these kids, is overpowering. For me. We'll see how it (and the home study, safety inspection, etc) goes.
(Posting here b/c few people know that we're doing this. I think that most believe that it's just something that we're saying, not doing. And the rest, I guess it's worth mentioning if we follow through. So I'm telling you b/c I have no one else to tell.)

Parul Sehgal:
An ode to envy
What is jealousy? What drives it, and why do we secretly love it? No study has ever been able to capture its "loneliness, longevity, grim thrill" — that is, says Parul Sehgal, except for fiction. In an eloquent meditation she scours pages from literature to show how jealousy is not so different from a quest for knowledge.

1 Meadow Friends Charm Pack
3/4 yard Meadow Friends 19486 14 (backing and binding)
3/4 - 1 yard Twill Tape or ribbon (the Moda twill tape from a Jelly Roll or Fat Quarter Stack is perfect)
Batting - at least 19" x 27"
1. Select 16 charm squares for the kite.
2. Pair the 16 charm squares up, and with right sides together sew 1/4" seams on the left and right edges.
4. Pair the 16 2-print pieces up (seam running left/right rather than top/bottom). With right sides together, sew 1/4" seams on the left and right edges.
5. With the seams on the left and right hand sides, cut each pair in half. Iron open. You now have 16 4-patches. If you would like more variety in your 4-patches, feel free to make them from the additional charm squares... just make sure to leave 4 - 6 charm squares for a later step.
6. Arrange your 4-patches in the following order:
Row 1: 2 4-patches
Row 2: 4 4-patches
Row 3: 4 4-patches
Row 4: 3 4-patches
Row 5: 2 4-patches
Row 6: 1 4-patch
Stitch together.
7. Layer batting and backing. Quilt as desired. Make sure to align your kite top to either the left or right side; the remaining fabric will be used for binding.
8. Now that your piece is quilted, we will cut it into the kite shape. Using your rotary cutter and ruler:
Cut 1: From the top center to the far right edge (bottom of row 4)
Cut 2: From the top center to the far left edge (bottom of row 4)
Cut 3: From the cut at the bottom of row 4 (right side) to the bottom center
Cut 4: From the cut at the bottom of row 4 (left side) to the bottom center
9. Bind as desired.
10. To make Kite Bows: layer 1 charm square (right side down), 1 5" x 5" piece batting, and 1 charm square (right side up). Free form stitch a bow shape, and cut out (I used a pinking shears for a little extra interest). Repeat for a second bow.
11. Attach the twill tape to the back of the kite with a few hand stitches (through the backing and batting, ensuring you don't stitch through the quilt top). Attach bows to the twill tape, about 6" to 8" apart, using either a few hand stitches or with a couple of machine stitches.
12. Hang and enjoy a little bit of Spring!

A tentative deal has been reached to build a new billion-dollar stadium for the Falcons in downtown Atlanta, city and team officials said on Thursday.
Mayor Kasim Reed and team owner Arthur Blank made the announcement during a press conference at City Hall.
Under the proposed deal, Reed said that the city will contribute $200 million, which will come from the city's hotel-motel tax. The other $800 million will be paid by the Falcons. The Falcons will also contribute an additional $50 million in infrastructure costs.
Reed said that the Arthur Blank Family Foundation would contribute another $15 million to fund developmental projects in the English Avenue, Vine City and Castleberry Hill neighborhoods, close to the new stadium. The city also would contribute an additional $15 million for those projects, according to a press release.
"I am pleased that we reached an agreement that will ensure the Atlanta Falcons remain in the heart of our city for many years to come and will lead to revitalization of some of the city's most historic neighborhoods," said Reed.
Blank called the deal a "win-win" for all parties involved. Blank said that the team was committed to the city of Atlanta.
Team officials said that a site just south of the Georgia Dome is the preferred site, but there are still details that need to be worked out.
Reed said that the deal includes a "Equal Business Opportunity Plan" that calls for at least 31 percent participation by women and minority business enterprises in the construction of the new stadium.
"Equally important, a new stadium will lead to the creation of well-paying jobs during its construction at a time when many of our friends and neighbors are seeking employment," Reed said.
City officials stressed that the deal would not impose any new taxes on city residents or businesses.
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal praised the agreement.
Reed said the hope is that the new stadium is built in District 3, which is the district represented by Councilmember Ivory Young.
In the Vine City neighborhood, community leaders said they would not make the same mistakes as when the Georgia Dome was built. "$10 million was negotiated in that trust fund. Those monies never touched this community. They were spent in other areas of the city, but they were designated for this community," said the Rev. Andrew Motley of Lindsey Street Baptist Church. Leaders said that they will work with the city and the Falcons to get the $30 million promised in the proposed deal.
The proposed deal is now in the hands of the Georgia World Congress Center and the Atlanta Falcons Association, Reed said.
The Atlanta City Council must still approve the new deal, Reed said. He said they are taking public opinion into consideration.
FOX 5 found a mixed reaction to the news amongst local residents.
"It's exciting for the city. It's exciting for the team," said John Neville, a Decatur resident.Another local resident, Tim Turner, said that Georgia Dome doesn't need replacing."I think that the current stadium, the Georgia Dome, is still functional and it's not paid for yet," Turner said.Some residents wondered if the new stadium would create an increase in ticket prices."I think it's going to make tickets really expensive for fans that want to go," said Elisa Hitron.No matter what the price, some fans said they would "dig a little deeper" to be able to attend games.
HOT TOPIC: Do you think the new stadium will deliver on its promises? Post your comments on our FOX 5 Atlanta Facebook page, or tweet us @GoodDayAtlanta. We'll read some of your comments on the air during Good Day Atlanta!
