Duke's experienced physicians focus on diagnosing and treating bladder cancer while preserving normal function. Often, patients can be treated with minimally invasive surgery.
Our specialists draw upon decades of training and experience treating both routine and complex, unusual diseases.
Specialists in the fields of surgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology, radiology, and pathology work together to plan the most effective course of treatment for each individual using the latest, research-backed therapies available.
Novel treatments are available through a robust clinical trials program.
Whether used alone or in combination with other treatments, surgery is used to treat almost all cases of bladder cancer.
Transurethral surgery is the most common surgical treatment for early stage or superficial bladder cancers. No incision is required because the procedure is performed by passing an instrument with a wire loop on the end through the urethra (the tube that leads from outside the body to the bladder) and into the bladder. The loop emits either laser rays or electric current to burn away any tumors or abnormal tissues.
Cystectomy removes all or part of the bladder. This is the most common treatment when bladder cancer is invasive.
With a partial cystectomy, only part of the bladder is removed, which means the patient will not require reconstructive surgery. However, the bladder will be smaller and will hold less urine, requiring more frequent urination. A partial cystectomy is possible if the cancer has invaded the muscle but is not very large.
After transurethral surgery or partial cystectomy, there is still a chance that the tumor may recur in another part of the bladder, so patients will need frequent follow-up visits.
When the entire bladder is removed, the procedure is called a radical cystectomy and also involves removing nearby lymph nodes. For men, a radical cystectomy also involves removing the prostate; for women, it often involves removing the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the uterus (womb), and a small part of the vagina.
After a radical cystectomy, reconstructive surgery will be used to create a new way for urine to pass from the body. There are several reconstructive options. Your surgeon may use a piece of your intestine to create a tube for urine to pass through to the outside of the body into a bag that must be emptied periodically.
Or, a piece of your intestine may be used to create a small reservoir for urine inside the body that can be drained through a hole in the abdomen, using a catheter. A third option is using a small piece of intestine to create a neobladder, which sits inside the body and drains through the ureters, allowing you to urinate normally.
Intravesical therapy is used to treat early stage bladder cancers. It involves administering a drug directly to the bladder through a catheter.
The drug may be an immunotherapy drug, which helps the body's own immune system fight the cancer, or it may be a chemotherapy drug, which kills the cancer cells.
Immunotherapy drugs used in intravesical therapy for bladder cancer include Bacille Calmette-Guerin and interferon.
Chemotherapy may be used to treat bladder cancer before or after surgery or in combination with radiation.
It may be administered systemically, such as via a vein, or it may be given regionally, as in intravesical chemotherapy. Learn more about chemotherapy for urologic cancer.
During radiation therapy, radiation (high-energy rays) is used to kill tumor cells. External radiation administered by a machine outside the body is the type most often used to treat bladder cancer.
Radiation may be used after surgery, as the main treatment for people who can't have surgery, or to help treat symptoms caused by advanced bladder cancers.

Like the NHL season, the annual deadline-day trading frenzy was late in starting. But a flurry of deals in the hour before Wednesday's noon Pacific time cutoff changed the complexion of several teams and added depth to others hoping for long playoff runs.
The Ducks, seeking strength up the middle, acquired veteran center Matthew Lombardi from the Phoenix Coyotes for left wing Brandon McMillan. They also traded goalie Jeff Deslauriers to the Minnesota Wild for future considerations.
"The guys have a great team with depth," said Lombardi, who can become an unrestricted free agent after the season. "It's nice to go where they want you and I want to help any way I can."
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
The Kings didn't make any trades Wednesday. They made their big move Monday by acquiring rugged defenseman Robyn Regehr from the Buffalo Sabres for second-round draft picks in 2014 and 2015.
Deadline day had lost some of its impact because many prominent players were traded in the last few weeks. But the ambitious Columbus Blue Jackets spiced things up by acquiring three-time 40-goal scorer Marian Gaborik from the New York Rangers, with defensemen Steven Delisle and Blake Partlett, for center Derick Brassard, injured right wing Derek Dorsett, defenseman John Moore and a sixth-round pick in the 2014 draft.
Gaborik, who had been in Coach John Tortorella's doghouse, waived his no-trade clause to join a team that's on an upswing under General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen and hockey operations President John Davidson. The Rangers removed his $7.5-million salary-cap hit from their books, freeing them to re-sign core young players this summer.
"He's a good man and I'll miss him," Tortorella told reporters in New York.
The retooling Sabres traded team captain Jason Pominville to the surging Wild for two prospects and first- and second-round draft picks. Pominville, a six-time 20-goal scorer, should bring some punch to Minnesota's right side.
Also of note, the Pittsburgh Penguins acquired Jussi Jokinen from Carolina for a conditional draft pick and planned to slot him into Sidney Crosby's spot. Crosby has a broken jaw and is out indefinitely.
The Philadelphia Flyers, eternally vexed by their goaltending, acquired Steve Mason from Columbus for Michael Leighton to be the backup for Ilya Bryzgalov, and the San Jose Sharks acquired abrasive forward Raffi Torres from Phoenix for a draft pick. Torres has twice knocked Sharks players out of the playoffs, with a blindside hit on Milan Michalek in 2006 and a hit that separated Joe Thornton's shoulder in 2011 when Torres was with Vancouver.
Two goalies reported to be on the move instead stayed put. Calgary's Miikka Kiprusoff refused to waive his no-trade clause and will retire after this season, and Vancouver kept Roberto Luongo, who has nine years left on his contract at an annual cap hit of $5.333 million.
"I'd scrap it if I could right now," Luongo said of his contract during a news conference in Vancouver.

What's up with dance music
Published: December 26, 2012
Noisey, a music site presented by Vice magazine, recently came to Baltimore to shoot an episode of The Backdrop, a web video series that examines the music scenes of American cities. The eight-minute video focuses on the state of Baltimore Club music, interviewing producers like DJ Say Whut and Murder Mark, as well as Mike Mumbles and Club-friendly rappers like DDM and TT the Artist (whose own full-length Baltimore club documentary, Dark City: Beneath the Beat, is forthcoming).
As 2012 comes to a close, Baltimore Club music's biggest breakout track out-of-town is actually a song that was first released locally in 2010: KW Griff and Porkchop's (pictured) "Bring in the Katz." (In City Paper's recent Top Ten issue, we ranked L Vis 1990's recent remix as one of this year's best Baltimore Club tracks.) XLR8R put the riotous "Katz" at No. 30 on its top tracks of 2012 and spoke to Griff about the song's origins, with Porkchop shouting out its hilarious ad libs live on the air on 92Q: "He went into the radio-station studio and recorded all of his vocals in one take. He handed me the CD and said, 'Here are the vocals for the track. You can go through the CD and grab all of the vocals that you think you can use. Work your magic!'"
If you want to celebrate the birthdays of some of Baltimore Club's finest DJs with the men themselves, there are a couple opportunities to party with Club music Capricorns in the new year. On Jan. 12, the Dedication Party at Tony's Diner will celebrate DJ B-Eazy's birthday, with the man of the night spinning and Baltimore Club party-host par excellence Buck Jones on the mic. On Jan. 18, the DJ Jonny Blaze birthday bash will be held at Vernell's Ice Paradise Inc, with free admission, drink specials, and guest DJs.
DJ Class has collaborated several times with Miami pop-rap superstar Pitbull since 2009 to bring the Baltimore Club sound to a broader international audience. But, as we recently broke down on the City Paper's music blog, Noise, there's an especially surreal moment on "Drinks For You (Ladies Anthem)," from Pitbull's new album Global Warming, in which Jennifer Lopez not only sings over a DJ Class beat, but also interpolates a line from Class' signature single "I'm the Ish."

Later today, we're joining local elementary school students from Public Schools 3, 11, and 33 for the second annual Halloween Parade on the High Line.
Leading the spooky procession will be the High Line Ghost Train, a giant puppet made by the students over the past month as part of the High Line Teaching Artist Halloween Program, an education initiative sponsored by AT&T.
Follow us after the jump for to learn more and view photos.
Leaders and thinkers in Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and other cities are pioneering adaptive reuse projects, and they're pointing to the High Line as an example of how to make it work.
Some call them copycat projects, but their approach is more nuanced. They are taking inspiration from the unique context and history in their own neighborhoods and finding ways to use it to their advantage as they reinvent and open old infrastructure and out-of-use spaces to the public.
You can find good examples of this type of creative thinking in New Orleans, where designers, grassroots organizations, and civic leaders are joining together to pursue new green adaptive reuse projects that coexist with water.
Follow us after to watch the video and view photos from a talk on the High Line earlier this month about the Crescent City.
This special blog post comes to you from Ana Nicole Rodriguez, a High Line neighbor who grew up in West Chelsea and now works as an editorial intern for Food Arts Magazine. We invited Nicole to join us last weekend to document the second annual Social Soup Experiment on the High Line, an event presented by Friends of the High Line as part of High Line Food, a program that brings interesting, sustainable food to the High Line.
What is a park if not a space in which to bring people together?
That community sentiment, along with a focus on seasonality and local food sourcing, is precisely what inspired this year's Social Soup Experiment. Dining need not exceed the simplicity of wholesome ingredients and smiling faces. A large spoon, two long wooden tables decorated with apples, and a group of more than 250 hungry neighbors is all you need to make the High Line's "restaurant without walls" possible.
The High Line's final section is currently closed to visitors, but earlier this month more than 1,600 people explored the final stretch of elevated railway as part of Rail Yards Weekends, a series of self-guided walking tours in celebration of the one-year anniversary of UNIQLO's Fifth Avenue Global Flagship Store opening, the Japanese clothing retailer's support of the High Line's ongoing maintenance and park operations, and the 10th Annual openhousenewyork Weekend.
Follow us after the jump to view visitor photos, watch video, and check out photo essays and press coverage.
The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew up between rail tracks after the trains stopped running in the 1980s. Today, the High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees — each chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share with you one of our gardeners' current favorites.
Last month we introduced you to Erycka Montoya Perez, our new Community Engagement Manager at Friends of the High Line. One of our favorite local newspapers, Chelsea Now, recently spoke with Erycka about her experience thus far and her plans for the High Line.
Follow us after the jump to read the article, watch a short video, and see photos from recent community engagement activities.
As you can see in this video by Arbuckle Industries, the third and final section of the High Line at the Rail Yards is currently overgrown with self-seeded wildflowers and grasses that grew up between the tracks when the trains stopped running on the elevated railway in the 1980s.
Our goal has always been to open this final section of the elevated railway as public open space, and last week we held a ceremonial groundbreaking to mark the beginning of construction. Before the work officially begins next month, we're opening the gates for you to explore the rail yards section during the first two weekends in October. Presented by Uniqlo as part of the 10th Annual openhousenewyork Weekend, the self-guided walking tours during Rail Yards Weekends will be your last chance to walk along the High Line at the Rail Yards before it is transformed into an extension of the High Line park.
Registration opens tomorrow. Follow us after the jump to get registration details.
Earlier today we celebrated an incredible moment in the history of the High Line.
We joined a small group of elected officials, supporters, and friends for a ceremonial groundbreaking on the third and final section of the High Line at the Rail Yards.
Follow us after the jump to see photos, design renderings, and learn more.
When you see the High Line on blogs and in the newspapers, you often read praise for the park's innovative design, thought-provoking artworks, extraordinary views, family activities, and the many ways it has positively impacted New York City.
But like other New York City success stories, the High Line is not immune to criticism. Just last week, you may have seen a blogger's opinion piece regrettably titled "Disney World on the Hudson" published in The New York Times.
In the days that followed the publication of the opinion piece, we were heartened to hear from many supporters, community leaders, and neighborhood residents who also took issue with the author's opinion. Some supporters wrote letters to The New York Times; others published their opinions on their own blogs and social media.
Follow us after the jump for a sample of the letters and messages we received.
We are pleased to introduce you to Erycka Montoya Pérez, who recently joined our team as the Community Engagement Manager, a new position created to focus on community-based initiatives, with support from the Nathan Cummings Foundation.

Post subject: A franken-han belt
I'm new here but decided to try my hand at a Han Solo belt. I've seen a few tutorials here and that's partially why I'm calling it a franken-han belt. For the construction I'm using Jedimika's tutorial and for the detail I'm using captsolo77's tutorial. So far I've made most of the hardware.

I forgot to do this last night, but I was going to jb weld a short screw at the bottom of the buckles. I also kind of wanted to see the clearance of the leather. Im trying to make it so I can change the holster, or put on a "blank" so I can use this belt with other outfits.

So I assembled the main belt minus the gear pouches. I did It step for step so far by Jedimika's tutorial. As you can see I ran out of 24 snaps so it looks a little odd. The spacing I used was 1 1/2". I thought it was a good compromise between Jedimika's and captsolo77's belts.

Thanks for the WIP, really useful.
If you are going to be using the gunbelt for a Han costume, his gunbelts have a very specific and iconic fit. Here's a pic from Bob's archive but there are loads more (and from all three movies) which show what I'm trying to explain:
The waist part of Han's gunbelt is not straight at the front, nor is it hung to one side like Indy's or a cowboy. It starts on one side at about the three hole pants belt level, drops down to where the buckle (which sits straight) sits very much lower than the three hole belt, the goes back up to the original height. With movement and from scene to scene it naturally moves a little but that broadly symmetrical hang / droop is always there. That is how the gunbelt must fit to accurately and properly fit a Han costume.
At the back the waist part of the gunbelt is effectively straight (subject to movement).
The most obvious way to achieve that is by angling the front latches so the bottoms of the latches are further away from each other than the top. I notice that on your buckles the latches are parallel, which is why your gunbelt is straight. The second way I have seen the hang achieved is where the latches are parallel, but the weight of the holster pulls the buckle down so that only the corner of the waist hooks are hooked on the latches. This is not the best way of doing it but it can work and even with just partially engaged hooks holding it, the gunbelt can still be secure. It very much depends if the hooks are free enough on the latch to be naturally pulled out of position but still the right size and shape to securely keep the gunbelt on. For info, this fit isn't something the (unmodded) CB gunbelts I have seen can do because the waist strap is looped through the buckle latch and is not free to move out of the straight position.
Han's belt doesn't hang at the front because it is too big or loose, it fits properly and does it by design.
So if you aren't doing the gunbelt for a Han costume it doesn't matter if it fits the Han way. But if you want it for a Han costume as well (I hope you do), you may want to consider how the gunbelt is going to achieve the Han fit properly.
Either way, good luck.

I have seen ones on this forum done like this, I believe captsolo77 does one like this in his tutorial. I've been looking over the movies and many photos and my conclusion is that the belt was strait and the pull forward was caused by the holster. Somtimes it's strait, sometimes it has a curve and somtimes it has a very distinct v like shape as in your post.

I can understand why you feel that way... it does seem like certain scenes in ANH where the belt does seem a bit straighter than the picture above. By design of the hooking system both could be achieved with the brackets even to the belt... just much easier if it is in parallel to the buckle.
I will say in ROTJ this is much more pronounced in the buckle area due to the different hardware that was used to connect to the buckle. I highly doubt ROTJ buckle system had the hooks on the buckle paralel to the belt... more than likely it was paralel to the buckle as Eviltwin is stating.
I am a bit torn on ANH... for their is not much evidence like there is for ROTJ (ESB is a non facotr due to the buckle used in the front).
If I had to take a side on this I would say that the buckle and the hook (that attachest the buckle to the belt) are paralel to the cut of the buckle.
What does that mean? It means 2 things... one it means it will lay better on the hip for the buckle will force the belt to lay down better...and that I really should re-do mu buckles!

Glad to see you starting your project and taking the time to post photos so we can all follow along. Kudos on crafting your own hardware, very ambitious!!
The only downside to posting WIP pics is now you're going have all of us chiming in with our opinions!!
I agree with both Bob and eviltwin, those fastening brackets on the the front buckle should be parallel to the edges of the buckle. I could see how you mingt think it's the weight of the holster pulling it forward, but as you'll see when you get further along, when you make the belt from quality leather, it really doesn't pull forward that much. Certainly not enough to get your belt to pull from the position it is in in your photos, to the position that Han wears it. Even the weight of my full-metal blasters don't pull the belt out of position that much.
Maybe go ahead and make another buckle just to try it. The one you've made would still be usable as the rear buckle on the ESB/ROTJ rigs, so the time and material wouldn't go to waste. I think in the long run, you'll be happier with the angled brackets. MP makes his this way as well.
I'm a little concerned that JB Welding the screw to the buckle to hold the holster strap might not be strong enough to hold up to both blaster weight and movement. Then again, I'm no expert; it may be just fine. If it is, you'd be a great commercial for JB Weld!!
Again, looking great so far. Keep up the good work and keep the photos coming!!

Thanks everyone! Please I welcome and need the criticism! This being my first go at something more screen accurate. SoloYT1300, I think I will cut another buckle, and keep the other around. Like captsolo77 said, I could still use it for other belts! About the jb weld, I trust it more than most and at this point it's the only metal fab I have available. Just one of the many trial and error things I'm sure ill have with this belt.
Ok, a few questions I've been looking for but not found,
1. what are the dimensions of the pouches? I know one is a co2 cartridge. But I don't know the other 4.
2. I think the ends of the holster leather, where it attaches to the belt looks about the same thickness as the belt. In my case 2". Does that sound right? And also any advice on the shape would be most appreciated.

If it helps, here's a picture of the back of my buckle. (CaptSolo77 and I have the same ones)
This set allows me to do all three movie configurations, with the one in the middle being the back buckle for ROTJ.
And as a side note, the CO2 cartridge used in the movie was a Sparklets brand soda syphon "bulb" which is actually a bit slimmer and shorter than a standard CO2 cartridge available nowadays.

Now we're talking! Looking good. Since it appears you're going the ANH route, you will also need to put a groove in the belt about 1/8" in on both the top and bottom. Keep up the great work!

Three Maine chefs and one Portland restaurant have made the long list of semifinalists for the 2013 James Beard Awards.
Bresca's owner and chef Krista Desjarlais, pictured in this March 21, 2011 file photo, is one of three semifinalists from Maine competing for a James Beard Award in the prestigious Best Chef: Northeast category.

Winners of the awards, often referred to as the Oscars of the food world, will be announced in May.
Maine's three semifinalists in the prestigious Best Chef: Northeast category are Krista Kern Dejarlais, chef/owner of Bresca in Portland; Brian Hill, chef/owner of Francine Bistro in Camden; and Melissa Kelly, chef/owner of Primo in Rockland.
Portland's Fore Street is a semifinalist for Outstanding Restaurant. This is the fifth time the restaurant has made the semifinalist list. It was a finalist in the category in 2010.
The five finalists in each category will be announced March 18, and the winners will be announced May 6 at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall in New York City.
Maine chefs have won the Best Chef: Northeast category three times in recent years. Last year, five Maine chefs were nominated for the award, but none made the finals.
This is Desjarlais' third time on the Best Chef: Northeast semifinalist list. She was one of the five finalists in 2011, but her plate came home empty that year.
Brian Hill has been a perennial semifinalist.
Melissa Kelly won the Best Chef: Northeast title in 1999, but it was for her work at a restaurant in New York. She was a semifinalist for Outstanding Chef last year, going up against such culinary luminaries as David Chang of Momofuku in New York City and Charles Phan of The Slanted Door in San Francisco. But she did not make the finals.
Bon Appetit columnist Andrew Knowlton recently named Kelly's Primo restaurant one of the 20 most important restaurants in the United States.
Maine chefs have won Best Chef: Northeast three times. Sam Hayward of Fore Street was the first in 2004. Rob Evans won in 2009 for his work at Hugo's in Portland, and Clark Frasier and Mark Gaier of Arrows in Ogunquit won in 2010.

Today in History – May 5, 1809 – Mary Kies is the first woman to receive a U.S. patent. Prior to the U.S. Patent Act of 1790, only men could author a patent. Even after the federal law was passed, women couldn't patent as most states did not allow women to legally own property. For example, there is much speculation that the authorship of the cotton gin patent of 1794 should have included Catherine Greene on the patent, as well as that of the African American slaves who also were not allowed to patent.
Mary Kies' invention was a process for weaving straw with silk or thread. Alas the patent file was destroyed in the great Patent Office fire in 1836 and an exact copy of the patent is no longer available. Kies invention has been credited for boosting the U.S. hat industry. Even First Lady, Dolley Madison praised her contributions. Until about 1840, most of the other 20 patents issued to women concerned applications that women saw in their everyday work: apparel, tools, cook stoves, and fire places.
Below I highlight some of our other blogs on women's contributions to engineering, computer science and entrepreneurship.
Did you know that Barbie was invented by Ruth Handler, motivated by her daughter Barbie and her friends play behavior? My blog of February 13 goes over the history of Barbie and Mattel's decision and design process in announcing the new Computer Engineer Barbie.
My daughter, Arianne Agogino Gieringer wrote the April 25th blog on Florence Rena Sabin, the first woman elected to National Academy of Science. Dr. Florence Rena Sabin, Professor of Histology in the Johns Hopkins Medical School was also the first woman to be a full professor in that institution and also the first woman to be President of the American Association of Anatomists.
Patricia Galloway, first female president of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), blogs on Elsie Eaves – first female engineer in ASCE to be elected as a full member on March 14, 1927.
Lucy Sanders, CEO of the Center for Women in Information Technology blogs on the unveiling of the ENIAC on February 14, 1946, the world's first digital electronic computer, as well as on the contributions of women in computing.
Jasmina Vujic, Chair of the Nuclear Engineering Department at the University of California at Berkeley, blogs on Lise Meitner and her groundbreaking publication that first introduced the world to nuclear fission on February 11, 1939.
Chad-Eric Montgommery blogs on two African American women. On March 1, 1864, Rebecca Lee Crumpler became the first African American woman to receive a medical degree. Also see the blog on Sara Breedlove Walker, the first self-made millionairess hair product inventions for African American women.
Pediatric cardiologist, Dr. Helen Taussig, was one of the doctors at Johns Hopkins who performed the first open heart surgery on November 29, 1944.
I enjoyed researching the blog for November 13, 1913 – Mary Phelps Jacobs invents modern bra. And also for the one on Dr. Mary Walker, the first female army surgeon to be awarded the Medal of Honor on November 11, 1875.
Check out the Engineering Pathway's many educational resources on women in engineering, women in information technology, women inventors and gender equity. One of my favorite resources is FairerScience, with practical advice on how to develop gender equitable classrooms and practices in math, science and engineering.
For a more indepth analysis of the issues associated with gender equity in our faculties and recommended solutions, read our "most commented" resource – the National Academies' Beyond Bias and Barriers report. My editorial on the report was published in ASEE Prism, November 2006, vol. 16 (3). We'd love to hear your comments and suggestions as well.

Thought I would share this with you all... my sunrise set from Nexus Wednesday night/Thursday morning. I normally DJ under the name Nate Manic but I was really trying to avoid, like, everyone and get some self time this year so I DJed under the name 30,000 Watt Baby. HUGE thanks to Kyle Griffin at Nexus for giving me this slot, and many thanks to everyone who shared it with me. It was an amazing experience.

New guy here, but long time Kings fan.
I'm a San Diego native, and I caught the hockey bug around age 11. Starting watching Kings games around age 12, and for the last 15 years, things have gone downhill from there...
I still live in San Diego, so I catch every game I can on FSN. I'd love to be at Staples every night, but I think the chances of living in LA any time soon are slim.
As far as players go, I really loved the Deadmarsh years and was mildly crushed when we were forced to say goodbye. These days, I am obviously excited about Brown because he is something of a Deadmarsh reincarnated, and I am also hoping to see Boyle develop into a giant power forward with soft hands, but we will see how that turns out. I couldn't be more impressed with Doughty, but I am still taking a wait-and-see attitude.
Anyway, if there are any fellow San Diegans here, feel free to say hello. We can stop by the Stout Pub (pretty much the only hockey bar in town) and watch a game with a pint sometime.

CLAUSE: Room Assignments
"The function room assignments listed in this contract are tentative. Final function and meeting rooms will be assigned by Hotel three months prior to meeting dates. Hotel reserves the right to reassign function rooms to accommodate both Group and all other groups or parties using Hotel's facilities during Group's meeting."
EFFECT: Dysfunctional Function Rooms?
The group and hotel have apparently agreed on which function rooms will accommodate the various components of the group's meeting. Generally, since a group would not need to publish a program including room names more than three months out, this time frame may be reasonable.
What is less reasonable is that there are no criteria to guide the hotel on how function room changes may be made. Room size, location, décor, and other issues should be addressed by the group with the hotel within the contract. The risk of ending up with unsuitable function room assignments is especially high if the site inspection and contract negotiation takes place a year or more before the meeting. Because of staff turnover, communication of these details may not be conveyed if not specified in the contract.
To address the issue of the adequacy of the size of final function rooms, the parties can agree that the function room assignments in the contract are final, rather than tentative, and that requests for changes must require both hotel and group approval. If this language is agreed upon, the group should be as flexible as it can be to allow the hotel to sell its other meeting space. Alternatively, the group can specify that final function rooms assigned three months out must be assigned based on size and other factors specified in the contract by the group. To address size, the group can specify minimum square footage for each type of function and room, or it can refer to a neutral calculator for minimum room size such as the MPI Comfort Calculator.
Last, but certainly not least, the final sentence of the clause basically negates the rest of the paragraph. Room assignments are not "final" if the hotel is reserving the right to reassign function rooms. The last sentence of the clause should be stricken or at least changed to specify that the hotel may make such reassignments only through a certain date, perhaps three months out in this case.

"No matter what we touch, an atom, or a cell, we cannot explain it without knowledge of the wide universe."
- Maria Montessori, 1948, To Educate the Human Potential
The Elementary students present their space projects in these photos from 2000 - 2001.
Stay warm out there and have a terrific Wednesday!
15 years ago the Lafayette Journal and Courier announced MSGL's plans to add an elementary program and move all of its programs to a new space.
The Morton Community Center on Chauncey Avenue had been MSGL's home since 1985.
As the article states, the new elementary program was originally going to be housed in a home on Rainbow Drive that had been donated by an MSGL family. A change of plans relocated that first class to some available classroom space inside the Temple Israel on Cumberland Avenue.
In February 2001, all of our programs, from the parent-infant class through elementary, moved into our permanent home in the former Calvary Baptist church on Soldiers Home Road.
In 2007, the elementary classes moved into the Montessori House, a remodeled home adjacent to the campus.
MSGL has plans to expand once again in the near future to add a second toddler classroom and a gym/gross motor space.

I think they would be fun to make and see my grand daughters use them. I have right now 8 grandchildren. And each one I make a baby blanket, Christmas stocking, stranger blanket for them. My grandson -- still even after 9 years -- still sleeps with his little blanket. It's great to find patterns here.

Begone Paleo, South Beach and Atkins. The future of food is no longer one size fits all and dieters need not to fight over which fit is best.
Dieting is going bespoke and nutrition can now be tailored. Not just to you, but to your genes.
Nutritional Genomics is an emerging science that explains our bodies different reactions to diet.
"Some people are particularly susceptible to sugar or salt for instance," said Professor Lynnette Ferguson, of The University of Auckland. "For others, bringing down their salt content will do absolutely nothing."
The reasons are an interplay of genetics, environment and diet.
The doctor, who was just in Australia leading sessions on the subject at the International Conference of Dietitians, is enthusiastic about the potential of this new science."It helps us understand why certain people who have a healthy diet develop chronic disease."
"Genetics is one of the fastest growing areas of science," said Dr Graeme Smith, chief scientific officer at MyGene, a Melbourne-based biotechnology company. "With the advent of genetic testing… 'personalised healthcare' is the future of healthcare."
Take 52-year-old Paul Castran, for example. The otherwise fit and healthy father was suffering stiffness, fatigue and muscle aches. His doctor suggested genetically testing his body's response to statins (anti-cholesterol pills, which he was taking), caffeine and folate.
After a simple cheek swab, he received the results a week ago. It was found he has a gene which reacts negatively to coffee, "I like coffee - I've been having four a day for 30 years," he said. "But, the implications [with his particular gene response] are high blood pressure and a 287 per cent higher chance of a heart attack."
The tests also revealed that he is sensitive to statins, which may explain his aches and pains, and is 66 per cent less effective at processing folate, which may explain his fatigue.
"I think we might have found the problem and now, instead of a scattered shotgun approach, I can do something about it."
It is the potential to pinpoint what's going on that has doctors and dietitions excited.
"I think it's great," says Dr Erica Wils, Castran's GP. "The tests show susceptibility rather than diagnosis, but allow you to exclude things like coeliac disease or lactose intolerance."
This takes out much of the guesswork, allowing dietitians, like Linda Chemello, to custom-make programs targeting how a client absorbs, metabolises and eliminates certain nutrients.
Michelle Henry, 44 went to see Chemello in June after blood tests revealed low levels of folate. Based on her diet, which was packed with folate-rich greens, Chemello couldn't see a problem.
But, genetic tests revealed the gene 'variation' associated with metabolising folate. It simply means Henry needs more folate than your average person for optimal health.
"We're all different, so building health based on my specific needs, makes sense," Henry says. The possibility that her children have the same susceptibility means Henry feels she can foster healthy habits specific to their needs too. Castran agrees and intends to have his children tested.
It's not about fear-mongering. Rather it's about being able to manipulate diet to sidestep hereditary issues and illnesses.
"There's good evidence you can overcome [gene] variants," Professor Ferguson said.
While nutrigenomics is so new in Australia doctors and dieticians in NSW are only just catching on, the US has been using the tests to customise diet for several years.
Concerns have been raised about direct-to-consumer marketing of the tests and especially the need to protect consumers from unreliable tests, false claims and unproven dietary supplements.
Direct to consumer testing is not permitted in Australia. Dr Smith believes this is important "as a healthcare professional is able to provide context." Also, some overseas companies offer genetic testing on genes before research has been completed.
In Australia, current genes/nutrients being tested include Folate metabolism, Coeliac disease, Caffeine metabolism, Lactose intolerance, Vitamin D metabolism and Inflammation. Costs for the test are upwards of $65.

A campaign on Unglue.it is seeking to raise $7,500 to pay for a Creative Commons Attribution-only licensed edition of Oral Literature in Africa, an out-of-print classic on the subject that is widely sought by African libraries. Once the money is raised, they will produce the new edition and make it widely available.
First published in 1970 by Oxford University Press, this classic study has been hailed as "the single most authoritative work on oral literature". It traces the history of story-telling in Africa, and brings to life the diverse forms of creativity across the African continent. Author Ruth Finnegan is thought to have "almost single-handedly created the field of ethnography of language" with this book, and it continues to be a go-to text for anyone studying African culture.
However, despite its enormous scope and popularity, Finnegan's book is now out of print. It is particularly hard to find in Africa, where its original retail price was beyond the budget of most university libraries. The non-profit organization Open Book Publishers is endeavoring to make this definitive book freely available to African students and scholars — and indeed to any interested readers around the world. The Unglued Ebook will be particularly friendly to people in places with slow Internet connections: once a copy is downloaded, the book can be read offline.
This edition, developed in conjunction with Cambridge University's World Oral Literature Project, will include a new introduction and extra digital material. When Finnegan's book was first published forty years ago, the technology did not exist to include audio clips. Part of this Unglue campaign will involve the creation of a free online repository of Finnegan's audio recordings of African story-telling, carefully collected during her fieldwork in the late 1960s. These clips, together with original photographs taken during her research, will become available for the first time to researchers everywhere — an invaluable resource to scholars of African literature and culture.
Oral Literature in Africa (via Copyfight)
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Ergi says:
For what exactly do they need that money?
mkanoap says:
From the FAQ:
"We work with rights holders to decide on fair compensation for releasing a free, legal edition of their already-published books, under Creative Commons licensing."
Compensation for potential lost royalties. Incentive to make it worthwhile to experiment with new business models.
Or, to take a very traditional viewpoint: it's a straight-up licensing fee, just like rights holders have always sought some sort of licensing fee in exchange for rights.
It's our startup on Boing Boing! Excuse me while I have a fangirl moment here :)
OK, now that I've recovered, I want to note that we're not just ungluing this work — we have 4 more active campaigns right now (a horror novel, an LGBT novel, a middle-grades novel, and a set of early readers), and our goals are more ambitious than that: to compensate authors and publishers — lots of them, everywhere — for putting out Creative-Commons-licensed editions of their works, so that more and more books can be part of our public heritage for everyone on earth to read, share, and benefit from. To be a platform for you to give your favorite books to everyone on earth.
So we DEFINITELY welcome any help with ungluing Oral Literature in Africa (8% of the way to its goal since our launch at noon yesterday!) But we also welcome help with our other campaigns — and people who want to add works to their wishlists, so we know what we should be tracking down rights for — and people who own the electronic rights to works that they'd like to make more widely available.
Or, you know, help with creating a disruptive new marketplace to change the world. That works too.
Cocomaan says:
Sent on some money, I hope this can be released, as it's something with which I've been academically interested.
davidasposted says:
The publishing industry has changed since the 1960s when Heinemann could distribute African writing to African readers at prices that schools and consumers could afford. The African book market has changed too, especially since the 1980s book famine. This campaign is an incredible end-run around these two problems.
Bravo, Open Book Publishers, for an absolutely great idea.
fuzzyfuzzyfungus says:
What I don't understand is why books(that are in demand) still go 'out of print'.
Based on what we know of the physical-book-scanner-pirates, doing a hackjob digitization of a text is fairly quick and fairly cheap. Based on what we know of assorted mostly-vanity e-presses, having small print runs done on demand is also pretty cheap.
Why, then, would any rightsholder ever move a book to 'out of print' when they could just move it to 'lead time 1 week' for eternity?
Jonathan Badger says:
Because that's not how academic publishers work (although they could). They are still mostly on the "does it make economic sense to print a new run of 5000 copies?" model. Yes, print on demand and e-book technology makes this model obsolete, but the industry doesn't change in an instant.
Christopher says:
According to WorldCat (the shared library database) there are at least 728 libraries that own the original 1970 edition. Additionally 635 libraries also own the 2000 edition, although there's very likely a lot of overlap.
To put it simply I think libraries might be an excellent source of funding for this, especially if as part of making a contribution they're offered the opportunity to add it to their collections and store digital copies on their own servers (which would benefit everyone).
I think individual contributions are great, but I can think libraries that have paper copies (and even those that don't), would be extremely interested in supporting this.
The Creative Commons license means libraries are more than welcome to store unglued ebooks on their own servers. In fact they can store them without DRM, in whatever format they want, and are free to shift formats as needed to serve their preservation goals.
As the librarian at Unglue.it (Simmons MLS!), I would LOVE for unglued books to be helpful to libraries.
Incipient Madness says:
Just taking a shot in the dark here. There's a humorous, but mildly racist, story my (white) grandmother told me that I am almost certain is African in origin. It's actually not racist at all in content, but when a white person tells a story about a stupid black kid in a fakey black dialect, well, there are certain unfortunate implications.
[Story deleted]
Anyone heard of this story? Google brings up nothing.
Found it in three minutes. In spite of all the African elements, the story apparently was written in 1911. While it's quite clever and teaches a good lesson about when to not blindly follow instructions, it was simply using a racist parody of black folks to make the story even "funnier", which isn't really funny to me.
strangefriend says:
Is this the story about the farm worker who was in jail for killing his boss? His lawyer asked him to explain what happened, so he says: "Mr. MacDonald told me he wanted me to drive a stake into the ground. He gave me a sledgehammer & took hold of the stake, saying "Now, when I nod my head, hit it." He did, & I did, killing him dead.'
Incipient Madness says:
No, the story was "Epaminondus and his Auntie". A clever story written by a white person sImilar to the "Barrel of Bricks" story.
I loved this story, but suspected it was racist at age seven.
Maybe I can rewrite it as a Texas Aggie joke.

This is the talking analog watch that ranked highest in every category in evaluations by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. Unlike lesser models that were inaudible or malfunctioned completely, this model announces the time distinctly in a male voice, ideal for those who find it difficult or inconvenient (such as when driving) to look at a watch. In addition to the time, the watch can announce the day and date, alarm, and sound a chime at the top of the hour. Contrary to other watches that were found to be overly complicated to operate, this watch offers straightforward instructions and functions that are easily accessed via two buttons. To ensure accuracy, the watch automatically synchronizes nightly with the atomic clock in Ft. Collins, CO, a timekeeping standard that won't vary by a second in 80 million years. The watch's face is set within a stainless steel case. Its 3/4"-wide black leather strap fits wrists up to 8 1/2". Face is 1 1/2" diameter x 5/8" depth. (6 1/2 oz.)
