John Portman, Donald Flanders among nominees for American Furniture Hall of Fame
Casual Living Staff -- Casual Living, July 15, 2011
Six leaders representing diverse segments of the home furnishings industry, including AmericasMart's John Portman and Lloyd/Flanders founder Donald Flanders, are candidates for election this year into the American Furniture Hall of Fame, officials announced.
The nominees, who will be made Industry Fellows, are Donald A. Belgrad, George Alexander Bernhardt, Donald G. Flanders Sr., John C. Portman Jr., Gordon Segal and Roy B. Unger.
"There is tremendous diversity in the background of each person on this year's slate with one common thread: They all represent the pinnacle of their fields, and they all represent individuals of great leadership, innovation and generosity," said Kurt Darrow, CEO of La-Z-Boy and president of the American Furniture Hall of Fame Foundation. "When you read their full bios, it is humbling and immediately apparent that each one is more than worthy of the honor of being made an Industry Fellow. This is a slate of industry giants."
The voting period for membership in the Hall of Fame began July 8 and ends Aug. 5. Only members of the foundation are eligible to vote. New Hall of Fame inductees will be announced at the annual banquet celebration on Oct. 23, during the High Point Market.
Under the new selection system, the inductees will be determined by the combination of a vote of the membership and a points-based rating system of each nominee by the foundation's Industry Fellow Selection Committee.
Candidates were selected from open nominations and the Industry Fellows Selection Committee based on their contributions to the growth and development of the furniture industry in America with a focus on four standards: Enduring excellence, superior accomplishments, innovation and creativity, and philanthropic generosity.
More information on the High Point banquet, including ticket information, is available at the organization's website at furniturehalloffame.com or by calling the High Point office at (336) 882-5900.
Here are the foundation's biographies of the nominees:
John C. Portman Jr. (born 1924) helped transform the home furnishings industry, as well as the Atlanta skyline, during a career spanning more than half a century. Portman's 7 million-square-foot AmericasMart houses one of the world's largest collections of home furnishings, area rug, gift and apparel merchandise and hosts 19 markets annually. His Atlanta Decorative Arts Center is among the most successful design centers nationwide. Portman is considered the chief architect of Atlanta's economic and civic development during the past 50 years.
Donald A. Belgrad (born 1939) has worked tirelessly for industry and philanthropic causes, spending his entire furniture career at Schnadig International, which he built into the largest U.S. family-owned upholstery producer. He pioneered the correlated approach to upholstery with occasional groups, and then living rooms with dining rooms and bedrooms. Identifying the global manufacturing trend, he quickly established a Chinese subsidiary to ensure quality, production control and supply chain management before orchestrating the sale of Schnadig to Markor International Furniture in 2009.
George Alexander Bernhardt (born 1943) has led Bernhardt Furniture Co. to become an award-winning design leader in residential and contract furniture. During his tenure, he has quadrupled the size of the business founded by his grandfather in 1889, making it the largest high-end furniture company in the United States. Bernhardt Furniture has won nine Pinnacle awards and 32 Best of Neocon awards. The company also was one of the first American manufacturers to import parts and later fully made furniture from Asia.
Donald H. Flanders Sr. (born 1924) has built two successful careers during the past 60 years, as a champion of both the case goods and casual segments. He and his wife, Phala, founded Flanders Mfg. with just two employees in 1954. When he sold it in 1969 to become part of Riverside Furniture, it was one of the largest case goods firms in the Southwest. In 1982, Flanders founded Lloyd/Flanders, where he has taken woven outdoor furnishings from a minor part of the casual market to a backbone category in the industry.
Gordon Segal (born 1938) built Crate and Barrel from one store in Chicago to an internationally renowned home furnishings business with more than 100 stores in the U.S. and abroad. With a focus on design and a reputation for flawless customer service and integrity, Segal was among the first to buy directly from factories in Europe. He introduced innovative and much emulated methods of visual and product merchandising, dubbed "the Crate and Barrel look." For decades, Crate and Barrel has been among the nation's top 20 furniture stores.
Roy B. Unger (1921-2004), known as the Father of the Modern Bedding Era and the industry's Ambassador of Sleep, played a major role in the rise of bedding companies Sealy and Serta during a career spanning more than 50 years. After his retirement, he served as a consultant to Simmons, making him one of the few executives to play key roles at each of the industry's three largest producers. Unger played important roles in the Sealy Posturepedic and Serta Perfect Sleeper brands' ascent to prominence. One of the founders of the Better Sleep Council, Unger continued to advocate for the bedding industry until his death at age 83.

Since it is the capital of the United States, Washington, D.C. is part of most people's general knowledge. It also rarely figures on the average person's 'places to visit' list. However, there is no doubt that it has real potential to fascinate and engage its visitors. Commonly known as 'D.C.', 'the District' or just 'Washington', the city was declared the capital on July 16, 1790. Since then it has grown exponentially, and the Washington Metropolitan Area is now one of the most heavily populated regions in the country.
The Center of Power: Washington DC is the official headquarters of all the three branches of the Federal Government of the United States – the Supreme Court, the President and the Congress. Largely due to its political significance, it is also the chosen headquarters of scores of trade unions, international organizations, professional associations, non-profit organizations and lobbying groups. Additionally, it hosts the foreign embassies of 176 countries.
Places to Visit: Washington, D.C. is famous for its museums and national monuments. Most of these are situated in the region known as the National Mall. This two-mile neighborhood, flanked on either end by the Capitol building and the Lincoln Memorial, is invariably the first place on every tourist's itinerary. While a thorough exploration of all the museums and monuments in the neighborhood could take a few days, a day tour could acquaint you with the major sites. These would typically include the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the National Museum of American History, the U.S. Capitol Building and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial.
Eating out and Shopping: Most people imagine that eating out in D.C. is elite, elegant and extravagant. After all, the restaurants here cater to powerful leaders and diplomats from around the world. However, it is best to avoid such a cliché. Like any other major city, D.C. has its elite, celebrity chef restaurants, but it also offers some fresh local fare at surprisingly affordable rates. Whatever your budget, you will also find a diverse array of cuisines available here.
Washington DC is also an excellent shopping destination. Whether you are after home furnishing, electronics, trendy garments, jewelry or casual sports wear, D.C. can give any other American city a run for its money. For clothes, Georgetown and Wisconsin Avenue are the places to begin, and if you are looking for art, used books, cool accessories or jewelry, Dupont Circle is definitely worth a visit. Finally, if home décor interests you, the Logan Circle at 14th Street is the place to start.
At the end of the day, do not make the common mistake of stereotyping D.C. In popular terms, it is most certainly a cool place to visit.

Hammel Shoots Valpo Past Ball State
Saturday, December 07, 2002Suzie Hammel (Lafayette, Ind./Lebanon H.S.) tied a school-record with eight three-pointers, including seven straight in the second half, as Valparaiso defeated Ball State 88-82 on Saturday afternoon in the Hoosier State Classic held at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
The game was close throughout, with the Crusaders leading by two, 42-40, at halftime. Ball State led most of the first half, but never by more than six points. Mayella Kuikhoven (Almelo, Netherlands/St. Canisius H.S.) tied the game at 35 with a lay-in with 2:17 left, and the Crusaders took the lead on the next possession with a pair of Jamie Gutowski (Crown Point, Ind./Andrean H.S.) free throws.
Valpo came out the second half and maintained the slight lead until the Cardinals went on a 12-2 run over 2:23 to build a 68-62 lead with 7:47 to play after a Jessica Reiter three-pointer.
Hammel cut the lead in half with her fifth triple of the half, and moments later gave Valpo the lead for good, 74-71 with 4:16, with her sixth of the stanza and seventh of the game. Moments later Kathryn Knoester (Grand Rapids, Mich./Christian H.S.) drained a three, and Hammel drilled on final triple as the Brown and Gold increased the lead to nine, 82-73, with 2:54 to play. Valpo made six free throws down the stretch to seal the victory.
Hammel's eight three-pointers Lynda Kukla's school record for treys in a game, finishing with a game-high 24 points. The junior made 8-of-11 from long range. Jeanette Gray (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso H.S.) added 18 points, including ten in the second half, while Gutowski added 13 points, making 7-of-8 from the free throw line. Jenna Stangler (St. Michael, Minn./St. Michael-Albertville H.S.) grabbed a career-high nine rebounds.
Dana Collins led Ball State (4-3) with 23 points, while Tamara Bowie added 19 points and nine boards, and Kate Endress chipped in 18 points and eight rebounds.
Valpo will return to action on Friday, December 13, when the Crusaders host DePaul. Tip-off is set for 7:05 p.m.

CANCUN, Mexico -- Mexican tourism officials expect more than 40,000 students to converge on Cancun as Spring Break peaks. The past few years the number of visitors has been smaller.
Some Americans stayed away from Mexico altogether because of violence in certain regions. But this year the crowd is back.
"It's lovely here and it's a good place to bring your family," said Renee Discher from Plano.
She and her husband brought their 21-year-old daughter Christy and her friends to Cancun for Spring Break. Christy Discher's goal? "A Tan. I'm so white," said the Texas Tech student.
While some came to soak up some sun, for others the turquoise water is the attraction.
"I wanted to go where the beaches and the water was crystal clear and good snorkeling and just pretty weather, "said Paige Summers, a high school student from Houston on Spring Break with her parents.
A group of girls who attend a Catholic school in St. Louis came to Cancun to escape freezing temperatures.
"It was snowing and raining and so cold," said Cassidy Manns. Her mother was one of six chaperones on the senior Spring Break trip to Cancun.
"There are 11 girls and six moms so I think we're covered," said Kim Manns.
"My parents were very skeptical because it's Mexico and it's out of the country," said chaperone and mom Kara Gibson. "But they're comfortable because the moms are here. It's actually a very safe resort.,"said Gibson.
Cancun has not been included in the U.S. State Department travel warning for Mexico but has suffered because some tourists have avoided the country.
But now it seems they're coming back. Hotel occupancy rates hover at 90 percent this Spring Break.
"My uncle and my dad, they both went when they were my age and so they said they were going to take us again," Brandon Mazique,18, from New Orleans.
As he enjoyed the beach, Mazique considered the possibilities for that night. "I could be at some sort of dance club getting my groove on, know what I'm saying?"

(L-R, rear) Barry Brian (Or Hadash), Elaine Moise (Kedem), Cantor Rachel Epstein (Adat Shalom), Doris Dyen (RRC, Dor Hadash), Rabbi Shawn Zevit (JRF), (L-R, Front) Barbara Nordstrom-Loeb (Mayim Rabim), Lauren Resnick (Dor Hadash)
Music is flowing in the Reconstructionist movement! Voices raised with kavanah, moving renditions of favorite classics, and brilliant interpretations of liturgy seamlessly intermingle with fresh explorations of the meaning of God, Torah and Israel in their broadest sense.
The November, 2007 retreat of Harmoniyah: The Reconstructionist Music Network brought together more than 40 music-lovers from 20 congregations in the US and Canada. During three days of davenning, singing, jamming, and workshops, we shared new ideas and practical tools for enriching congregational worship with music from a wide variety of genres. We opened up the conversation about where our music comes from and where we think it is going. We talked about core texts and prayers, about choirs and communal music making, about the role of traditional nusah (HWD) and bold new melodies, about chanting and about electronic instruments, about Shabbat and healing services.
At the Saturday night kumsitz, a full array of musical styles was on display, from chant, blues and folk-rock to Ladino, Yiddish and klezmer offerings. And at the Sunday night panel discussion, which I had the privilege of moderating, we explored such issues as:
Can the Ashkenazic modes and melodies of many a childhood comfortably share space with Sephardic and Yemenite rhythms? Rachel Hersh Epstein's Psalm 150 experiments with this question, producing a difficult (for us Westerners) but exquisite take on the popular sing-along psalm. As to the future, her prediction: funky fusion sounds.
Liz Bolton treated us to 8 or 9 different melodies for the Reader's Kaddish. Many of them were easily recognized by the participants (High Holiday evening, Shabbat and so on). We did get stumped, though, on the particular nusah (HWD) for shelosh regalim between maftir and haftarah!
By being intensely personal, Shefa Gold hopes to be simultaneously universal. She spends a great deal of time with a single phrase, seeking its deeper meaning so that she can come into relationship with it before setting it to music.
Shawn Zevit believes that the leader who wishes to bring musical change must appreciate who we already are musically. Our grandparents and our childhoods are powerful influences on us all, and Shawn treated us to some of his family's unique melodies.
What's clear is that having a nice voice and enjoying leading congregational singing doesn't itself prepare you for spiritual leadership and pastoral caregiving. In MIRAJ's workshop on healing services, one of my goals was to teach lay people who sing to also lead, because the role will often be thrust upon them by virtue of their musical talent. What's more, healing services and bedside rituals are powerful, private moments of spiritual transition that can profoundly benefit from a compassionate musical presence. Just as in other aspects of our rabbinates, the "conscious use of self" is essential. MIRAJ "consciously uses" itself in a model of shared spiritual leadership. We assert comfortably, yet yield effortlessly, whether teaching, leading joyous musical services, or giving a concert. There's a dynamic flow among our voices. Harmony down below, in the service of creating harmony up above. Ken yehi ratzon!

A popular song during the past month was the carol "What Child is This?" But to answer the question, we'll need to look in the Hebrew Scripture (Old Testament).
Within Judaism, there is no official creed like we find in traditional churches. However, if Judaism did have a creed, it would be Deuteronomy 6:4-5.
Verse 4 begins with the Hebrew word "Shema," which means "listen" with the intent of obeying what you hear. Since the Hebrew Scriptures were the only Bible Yeshua (Jesus) knew and read, it would make sense He would declare His identity through the Shema — and, in fact, He did.
Deuteronomy 6:4 is generally translated, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord thy G-d is One G-d."
For our purposes, let's focus on the word "One" used in this verse.
The Hebrew word for "One" in Deuteronomy 6:4 is "Echad," which can be translated "one," but in many instances within the Hebrew Scripture, it refers to multiple items or things that function as "one."
For instance, an evening and morning are one day, even though there are two parts to a day. Also, a husband and wife are, according to Genesis 2:24, "one flesh."
So the word "echad" most often refers to one thing that has multiple parts.
Most Hebrew words consist of three letters with variant vowels placed under and over the consonants. The three letters that make the word "echad" are the aleph, chet and the dalet.
This short lesson on Biblical Hebrew is necessary to understand something Yeshua says in the Gospel of John.
In John 14, Yeshua is talking with His disciples about the future and what they can expect from Him.
In John 14:6, Yeshua says He is "the way, the truth, and the life." This statement is radical to those who understand its implications, so let's take another look at it.
By saying He (Yeshua) is the way, the truth, and the life, He has made at least three bold declarations about himself.
First, anyone who reads the Hebrew Scripture would have known that the words "way," "truth" and "life" were descriptions of the Torah commandments.
Deuteronomy 31:29 says the Torah is the "way;" Psalm 119:142 says the Torah is "truth;" and Deuteronomy 32:47 says the Torah is "life."
For Yeshua to claim He is the way, the truth and the life is for Him to equate himself with Torah.
That's no small claim as Yeshua is asserting everything written in the Hebrew Scripture is wrapped up in His identity.
Second, by claiming He is the way, the truth and the life, Yeshua equated Himself with YHVH, the G-d of Israel.
In Psalm 18:30, YHVH is the way; in Exodus 34:6, YHVH is the truth; and in Genesis 2:7, YHVH is life. By saying He is the way, the truth and the life, Yeshua has claimed He is YHVH in flesh.
No, Yeshua did not go around making bold assertions for multiple reasons, but to those willing to listen carefully to His teaching, He did lay claim to equality with YHVH.
We could have listed many texts in the Hebrew Scripture that tell us that both the Torah and YHVH are the way, the truth and the life. Anyone who hears Yeshua make the claim that He is the way, the truth and the life has just heard Him lay claim to equality with the Torah and YHVH.
For the third claim in John 14:6, we'll go back to the earlier paragraph that dealt with the Hebrew word "echad."
While the Apostolic Scriptures come to us in Greek language, it is clear that Yeshua knew both Hebrew and Aramaic languages as well. If we put the three words for "way, truth and life" back into Hebrew, we have three words that all start with one letter of the word "echad".
The Hebrew word way is "derek;" the Hebrew for truth is "emet;" and the word for life is "chayim." The initial letter for the three Hebrew words for "way, truth and life" are the three letters that make the word "echad."
By saying He is the way, the truth and the life, Yeshua is claiming He is part of the "echad" in Deuteronomy 6:4.
To confirm our understanding of Yeshua's claim in John 14:6 is correct, take a look at the verses that follow.
In John 14:9, Yeshua says anyone who has seen Him has seen the Father.
In verse 10, Yeshua says the Father is living in Him. In verse 11, He states, "I am in the Father, and the Father is in me." The Father, in this text, is none other than YHVH.
By the declaration that He is the way, the truth and the life, Yeshua has equated Himself with Torah, YHVH and the "echad" of Deuteronomy 6:4.
The song many sing in December asks, "What Child is This?" so let's answer the question by saying the child is the in-flesh reality of Torah, YHVH and the "echad" oneness of G-d.
I believe traditional understandings of Yeshua's identity need to be revamped and overhauled to bring them in alliance with the Hebrew Scripture and the claims that Yeshua makes about himself in light of those texts.On Faith columnist Brent Emery can be reached by email at email@example.com.

The capital of Iowa, Des Moines is a sprawling city noted for kicking off the U.S. Presidential campaigns every four years. If you are looking for a more traditional place to raise a family, this may be the place.
Des Moines also serves as the seat of Polk County, and is the center of a growing metropolitan area. With an estimated 196,857 residents in 2006, Des Moines has experienced marginal growth since 1990. The core population peaked at 208,982 in 1960. Since then, outlying suburbs have boosted the overall metro population to over 534,230. While Des Moines has successfully annexed bordering areas, a plan to merge governments with Polk County was soundly rejected by voters. The median age of city residents was 35.6 years in 2006 with 76% of the population being White non-Hispanic. Another 8% were African American, 10% Hispanic and 4% Asian. The African American and Hispanic populations are significantly higher than the Iowa average. About 10% of residents were foreign born, significantly higher than the state average. Over 25% of residents claimed German ancestry. Families made up 62% of Des Moines households. The 2006 median income for households in Des Moines was $41,651, slightly under the state average. It was somewhat below the national average of $46,242. Unemployment in 2006, at 6.8% among the civilian workforce, was greater than the national trend. About 15% of the population lived in poverty, equal in percentage to the number of dropouts in Des Moines.

615 N La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles, CA | Directions 9003634.082378 -118.344233
Monday To Saturday From 11:00 AM To 10:30 PM
Neighborhoods: Melrose, Central LA
Cube is a cheese-lovers dream and then some. Pasta is primo, grilled cheese is arresting and the cheese plate is a must. Meat dishes shouldn't be passed up.
My goto meal here is Prosciutto Panini and Velvet Tomato Soup and the black truffle pizza. Amazeballs!
Get your cheese fix by ordering Cheesemonger's Choice. Menu is seasonal and changes every Thursday. Also great place for wine tasting/drinking.
Great for wine and cheese, or a full 'Italian-inspired' meal. Friendly servers know their business. It's very small, so I recommend making a reservation. All pastas are made in-house
wow!!!!! i'm not much in to writing reviews, but the food and service at this restaurant is great. from the time you first walk-in they make you feel at home. when i got back from iraq i made sure one of my first stops was cube marketplace & cafe's. cube marketplace & cafe's team members keep up the great food and work.thank you
Fantastic pastas and prepared Italian food! – The Divine Pasta Company has a new look and a new name, Cube Cafe, Cheesebar, and Marketplace. While small in size, and relegated mostly to the corners and sides of the restaurant, the specialty food shop offers a nice selection of pestos, olive oils, salts, dried pastas, grains, and other pantry staples. Glass door refrigerators and freezers on both sides also display imported cheeses, salumis, and Cube?s signature prepared foods like Velvet Tomato Soup, Fresh Herb Marinated Wild Mahi Mahi, and Four Cheese Mac & Cheese. And, of course, it still stocks fresh Divine Pasta Company pastas, including flat noodles like Egg Pappardelle and Spinach Fettuccine and ravioli stuffed with roasted eggplant, wild mushrooms, and other classic ingredients.
Two words: cheese plate! – I love the cheese selection here.
That is all!
Oh, and good date place.
Venison Meatloaf! – What does it feel like to eat in a private dining room? Well, I found out a few weeks ago when I called in a reservation for 5. We were seated in the wine room at a table meant for 6. It was awesome and we had great service.
The things to get are the maple braised bacon and the venison meatloaf. I also enjoyed the scallops.
The menu does change weekly so be on the lookout for new pastas and great farmers' market driven fare.
Delicious Food & Great Atmosphere – The service is great, the atmosphere is great, the food is excellent, especially the sweet corn stuffed pasta with brown butter sauce. Yum, it is triangle shaped pasta stuffed with sweet corn sprinkled with perfectly crisped bacon pieces and topped with a delicious brown butter sauce, it melts in your mouth. I will be going back for sure.
Very delicious Italian in a small package – Discovered this place today when looking for a lunch spot in Hollywood for a business lunch. Very cute little Italian cafe with a small number of tables inside and nice terrace outside (on La Brea). Inside has a wine section, a giant cheese selection, and lots of italian charm. The food was delicious. We had salads to start the heirloom tomatoes were super yummy and the wild arugula very spicy and crunchy. Veal Milanese for lunch with a side of (gasp) 4 cheese mac and cheese with black truffle oil. And actually felt good afterwords. The service was nice. I also had the sparkling home-made lemonade to drink which was good not too sweet. Of the pasta dishes about half were not available for lunch which was a shame since one of them (sweet corn stuffed pasta with brown butter) looked like it could have made the day... will have to wait to next time.
My Secret LA Spot – Cube is elegant but fun with a lot of thoughtful attention to the details.
I had the Rabbit Stuffed Ravioli. Never tried Rabbit before and was a little hesitant but both the manager Jason and my waitress Alice assured me that if I'm gonna try rabbit, this is place to start. They were right, it was rich and delicious, as was the 4 cheese macaroni. I will be back to try more on the menu.
As great as the food was, the service was even better. Very pleasant and helpful with our menu options, both our waitress and the manager gave us plenty of attention, even to chat a bit and make jokes. I just felt very comfortable here.
And the decor is cool. I feel possessive, like I've found my new secret LA spot. What an awesome restaurant with awesome style, service and food. Highly recommended.
Authentic Italian food, great service – Great selection of cheeses, charcuterie, wines, and interesting menu that never disappoints. I have no clue how these folks source their ingredients, but somehow they do, and the result is excellent. Italian food that is tough to find outside of Italy, and service that is consistently top notch, this is one of the best spots in LA.
Heady Feast Now with Wines! – The experience was like Babette's Feast only in Italy. First, a tasting of Prosecco was offered. I was on my own but began talking to other guests right away. We shared a feeling of delight!
A flight of cheese and mole salami was my starter. The name of each morsel was written on the slate tray bearing them. Cube is renowned for its stock of cheeses and salamis. Now they stock wines too!
Each dish was cooked beautifully. I had a honey polenta with baked apple and gorgonzola. Next, the wonderful pancetta wrapped pork and spaghetti squash with another shredded squash. My waitress insisted I at least taste the bread pudding. The cook is so brilliant I wanted to take her home but settled on my neat little take away box.
I told my waitress, an opera singer, that working with such exquisite food must be inspiring. And isn't Italian food simpatico with opera.
Citysearch Editorial Review – Now that Cube stocks a fair amount of wine to accompany Chef Erin Eastland's ever-changing menu, the sidewalk patio is an even more popular spot for Angelenos serious about eating good food without sacrificing atmosphere or enduring a "Hollywood" scene. The interior's deep-red tones and gleaming cheese bar--surrounded by shelves lined with fresh pastas and gourmet items--lend the small space a surprisingly lively feel. The menu straddles Old-World Italian comfort food and Molto-Mario style haute cuisine, and the friendly staff is equally low-key when discussing it. While the offerings are updated weekly, past standouts have included the shaved brussel sprout salad, olive oil poached tuna loin, black truffle pizza, balsamic glazed hanger steak and wild mushroom and zucchini stuffed pasta to name a very few. It's also easy to make a dinner out of the epic cheese flights and general selection--85 or so from around the world--and charcuterie (especially the 500-day aged prosciutto). Luckily the meal portions are perfect, so you should have plenty of room for desserts like the crumbly, warm French plum and berry cobbler.

For some, Homecoming is a garden of new ideas sowed by old friends. Who'd want to miss that?!
Last Homecoming, four roommates from Crissey 103 reconnected at the Class of 1973's Homecoming reunion and planned a "trip of a lifetime," according to Peg Maass McAllister '73. They waited a short six months to harvest their idea, making a trip to Machu Picchu in May 2009. Pictured in their Kalamazoo College t-shirts (including two from last year's Homecoming 5K race), with the ancient Incan city in the background, are (l-r): Jennifer Armstrong West, Linda Lee Lutz, Peg Maass McAllister, and Carole Siewert Keen.
Take an opportunity to reconnect with some of your classmates at this year's Homecoming festivities, October 16-18, 2009.

I am hoping that someone out there started this week also. I am looking for a group to keep each other motivated and to check in with on a daily or weekly basis. If you started this week, please let me know!
Hey, microbugs. I started on the 17th as well along w/ my sister her husband & our mom!! It would be awesome to keep in touch often.I 'm struggling a little already just because its new to me. I used to do some free weight training, but that was about 6 yrs & 2 little kids, ago! My struggle mostly is figuring out how much to lift etc & getting in the rhythm of it so I can get the most out of my workouts. I going to a gym & training both w/ free weights & machines. Also never done anything like registering in this Challenge, so its alittle scary & overwhelming but giving me motivation. Sorry if I'm a bit chatty just get excited to reach out.
microbugs, I started this week as well. gonna be tough with xmas next week, but I am trying to save my free day for the 25th. been a good first week and I have stuck with the program 100%. muscles are a little sore, but all in all I am doing ok.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to establish the safest doses of an investigational drug called MORAb-009 in subjects with pancreatic cancer, mesothelioma, or certain types of ovarian or lung cancer. MORAb-009 is a monoclonal antibody that is directed to an antigen on the surface of these cancers.
Pancreatic Cancer
Ovarian Cancer
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Drug: MORAb-009
Phase 1
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of MORAb-009, a Chimeric Monoclonal Antibody, in Subjects With Advanced Mesothelin-expressing Tumors
- Safety
- Tolerability
- Pharmacokinetics
- Human Anti-Chimeric Antibody formation
- Objective Tumor Measurement (CT; MRI; RECIST criteria; biomarkers)
|Study Start Date:
|May 2006
|Study Completion Date:
|September 2008
|Primary Completion Date:
|September 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
MORAb-009 is a high-affinity monoclonal antibody raised against human mesothelin, a membrane glycoprotein thought to be involved in cell adhesion and tightly associated with a range of cancers. It has been shown that mesothelin is over-expressed in pancreatic cancers, mesotheliomas, and ovarian or mesothelin-expressing ovarian or non-small cell lung cancers, while showing little expression in normal tissues. Preclinical experiments indicate that MORAb-009 is a potentially useful anti-cancer agent. This clinical trial is being performed to determine the safety of MORAb-009 in subjects with mesothelin-expressing tumors, as well as to establish serum pharmacokinetics of the antibody, and to assess tumor antigens that may serve as predictors of a response to MORAb-009.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Female or male subjects, ≥ 18 years of age, with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, mesothelioma, or mesothelin-positive ovarian or non-small cell lung cancer. As nearly 100% of pancreatic adenocarcinoma and mesotheliomas express mesothelin, immunohistochemical confirmation of mesothelin-positivity is not necessary.
- Subject must have disease, as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) or evaluable by clinical signs/symptoms (e.g., ascites, pleural effusion, or lesions of less than 2 cm) supported by biomarker, radiologic, or pathologic studies conducted within 4 weeks prior to study entry.
- Subject must have failed at least one standard chemotherapy regimen. Patients with pancreatic cancer must have received gemcitabine as part of prior therapy and be considered refractory, or in the case of ovarian cancer be considered platinum refractory or resistant.
- Life expectancy ≥ 3 months, as estimated by the investigator.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status or 0, 1 or 2.
- Female subjects of childbearing potential and all male subjects must consent to use a medically acceptable method of contraception throughout the study period and for 28 days after MORAb-009 administration. A barrier method of contraception must be included.
- Other significant medical conditions must be well controlled and stable in the opinion of the investigator for at least 30 days prior to Study Day 1.
- Laboratory and clinical results within the 2 weeks prior to Study Day 1 as follows:
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L; Platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L; Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL; Serum bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL; Aspartate transaminase (AST) ≤ 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN); Alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 5 x ULN; Alkaline Phosphatase ≤ 5 x ULN; Serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL. If the elevations of liver functions are due to obstruction of the common bile duct extrinsic to the liver, the subject may be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator even if the elevations are greater than the limits above. Stenting to reduce liver functions to qualifying levels is permitted.
- Subject must be willing and able to provide written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Known central nervous system (CNS) tumor involvement.
- Evidence of other active malignancy requiring treatment.
- Clinically significant heart disease (e.g., congestive heart failure of New York Heart Association Class III or IV, angina not well controlled by medication, or myocardial infarction within 6 months).

Best from a Nation
Forum devoted to track & field items of an historical nature.

Best from a Nation
Clay suggested that someone put together an all-time World Cup matchup. The school year is winding down, so I'm the Rockefeller of free time.
The first part is to put together the eight teams competing. Traditionally, there have been teams representing the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific, along with the USA and the top two teams in the European Cup. The all-time men's medal leaders at the European Championships are Russia/USSR and the UK, so we'll go with those two.
World Cup scoring is on an 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1.
Here's our roster for the Pole Vault:
Americas: Rolando Cruz
Europe: Wladislaw Kozakiewicz
Africa: Okkert Brits
Asia: Grigoriy Yegorov
Pacific: Dmitriy Markov
USA: Corny Warmerdam
UK: Geoffrey Elliot
USSR: Sergey Bubka
And the results:
1) Bubka
2) Warmerdam
3) Kozakiewicz
4) Markov
5) Yegorov
6) Brits
7) Cruz
8) Elliot
The Soviets take the early lead. Damn those Communists!
Re: Best from a Nation
Think you're better served with Charles Hoff of Norway as your European. But he still finishes third.
Re: Best from a Nation
Hoff was good, but Kozak set WRs, ranked #1 four times, and won an Oly gold. Hoff set WRs and was the world's best vaulter for at least four seasons and probably would have won the OG in 1924 had he not been hurt, but that's speculation. Kozak gets extra style points for flipping off the Soviets.
Re: Best from a Nation
We move on to the hammer throw. Our contestants:
Americas: Con Walsh
Asia: Andrey Abduvaliev
Africa: Adam Barnard
Europe: Gyula Zsivotsky
Pacific: Stuart Rendell
USA: Hal Connolly
UK: Tom Nicolson
USSR: Yuri Syedikh
And the results:
1) Syedikh
2) Connolly
3) Zsivotsky
4) Abduvaliev
5) Walsh
6) Nicolson
7) Barnard
8) Rendell
Team scoring through two events:
12 Europe
9 Asia
6 Americas
6 Pacific
5 Africa
Re: Best from a Nation
Kozak raised the WR once by 1cm. Hoff raised it five times in a four-year period before being banned. Total raising was 16cm. He redefined the event, which Kozak didn't do.
Re: Best from a Nation
Kozak set 2 WRs -- in Milan on 5/11/1980 (by 1 cm) and in the 1980 Moscow Olympics (by 3 cm). Hoff set 5 WRs which improved the standard by a total of 16 cm, and as a pro exceeded the amateur record once more.
As I go through my files, I see that Hoff was undefeated in four seasons (1922, '23, '25, and '26). In the first three he was far better on marks alone than the rest of the world, but by 1926 they began to catch up with him. Gurdgingly, I'll admit you probably have a point. But Kozak just looked so cool!
Re: Best from a Nation
We move on to the triple jump. And in this corner . . .
Africa: Ajayi Agebebaku
Americas: Adhemar Ferreira da Silva
Asia: Mikio Oda
Europe: Jozef Schmidt
Pacific: Anthony "Nick" Winter
UK: Jonathan Edwards
USA: Mike Conley
USSR: Viktor Saneyev
The placings here get sticky. I'm sure I'll get LOTS of arguments about this one no matter how I rank them.
1) Saneyev
2) Schmidt
3) Edwards
4) da Silva
5) Conley
6) Oda
7) Winter
8) Agebabku
Team scoring through 3 events:
19 Europe
12 Asia
11 Americas
8 Pacific
6 Africa
Re: Best from a Nation
Our final field event on the first day of the All-Time World Cup is the discus throw.
Africa: Frantz Kruger
Americas: Luis Delis
Asia: Li Weinan
Europe: Adolpho Consolini (not a solid choice over Danek, Schult, Reidel et al)
Pacific: Les Mills
UK: Robert Weir (great musician, too!)
USA: Al Oerter
USSR: Romas Ubartas (can you believe he's their only DT man ever ranked #1?)
The results:
1) Oerter, of course
2) Consolini
3) Delis
4) Ubartas
5) Kruger
6) Weir
7) Li
8) Mills
Team scoring through 4 events:
26 Europe
17 Americas
14 Asia
10 Africa
9 Pacific

Hoff also set 11 WRs indoors to Kozak's 1. But the main thing to be considered is that Hoff was redefining the event at a a time when there was no (to my knowledge) technological advancement going on in the pole department. I'm willing to bet that the pole that Kozak set his WRs on didn't even exist when he first made the World Rankings.
Re: Best from a Nation
Hey, I said you were right! And you made darn sure I'm looking stuff up for other events before I post them.
Re: Best from a Nation
>UK: Robert Weir (great musician, too!)<
The best musician you've named today was da Silva.

USSR: Semyon Rzhishchin
And the places:
1) Kiptanui

Africa: Frankie Fredericks
Americas: Don Quarrie
Asia: Koji Ito
Europe: Pietro Mannea
Pacific: James Carlton
UK: Emmanuel McDonald Bailey
USA: Michael Johnson
USSR: Valeriy Borzov
The results:
1) Johnson
2) Fredericks

8) Ito
Team scoring through 8 events:
51 Europe
35 Americas
30 Africa

18 Asia
Re: Best from a Nation
The final event of the first day, the 10 000 meters:
Africa: Haile Gebreselassie
Americas: Arturo Barrios
Asia: Toshihiko Seko
Europe: Emil Zatopek
Pacific: Ron Clarke
UK: Brendan Foster
USA: Billy Mills
USSR: Vladimir Kuts
And the results:
1) Zatopek
2) Gebreselassie
3) Clarke (outkicked again!)
4) Kuts
5) Mills
6) Barrios
7) Foster
8) Seko
Before anyone gets on me about Zatopek vs Gebreselassie, let me say that Zatopek simply stomped his competition. In his four major championship wins (2 OG, 2 EC) his average margin of victory was 40 seconds, each time defeating the year's #2 ranked 10k man.
Team scores at the conclusion of the first day:
59 Europe
38 Americas
37 Africa
33 Pacific
19 Asia
It's going to be a barn-burner!
Re: Best from a Nation
Mr.Squire: this is reallllly a great thread. One of the best the board has seen yet. But..... (other shoe dropping).... could you please make each event a different thread? There was a very instructive discourse about the pole vault going on and then it's interrupted by a bunch of other events. Just a thought.
Re: Best from a Nation
Will do so tommorrow! Thanks for your input.
Re: Best from a Nation
I like the thread myself..would you take Matete over Akii-Bua?
Re: Best from a Nation
Coe in 4th place...I can't see it
Re: Best from a Nation
>Coe in 4th place...I can't see it<
Let me help you see it. 1980 Olympic 800 - Coe 2nd, 1982 European Championships 800 - Coe 2nd, 1984 Olympic 800 - Coe 2nd. To be sure, Kipketer has lost a few big ones. However, he not only broke Coe's record but also won three world championships (plus one indoors), a much better success record in major competition than Coe's. It goes without saying that double Olympic gold medalists Snell and Whitfield outrank Coe, who too often came up short when it counted the most.
Re: Best from a Nation
Bear with me Squire,I cant't resist adding a few lines about Charles Hoff since I grew up in that country.
He was without a doubt one of the greatest athletic talents in the world in those days. Since he could not compete in the vault in Paris in '24 due to injury he ran the 800 and finished 8th in the final.
He was also quite a showman and once vaulted 13'2 wearing tailcoat.
In 1931 he even talked Figure Skating great Sonja Henie into coming out for track. Hoff coached her and she ran some good junior 100m on Bislett during that summer.
Meanwhile I can't wait for tomorrows competition.
Does Brumel realize that guys are flopping now?
Re: Best from a Nation
>I like the thread myself..would you take Matete
>over Akii-Bua?
Um, last night I suddenly realized that I'd completely forgotten about Akii-Bua. Which of the two you pick depends on how much empahsis you put on consistency. Akii-Bua ran a stunning WR in 1972 but never got reasonably close to it again. Both athletes ranked #1 in the world twice, while Matete took the runner-up spot four times to Akii-Bua's one. Matete's record in big championship meets isn't stunning (one gold and two silver) but Akii-Bua only won the '72 OG.
It boils down to this: Akii-Bua wouldn't come to mind as Africa's greatest 400 hurdler if not for a single race. Is that race enough? I don't know how to answer that.
Re: Best from a Nation
>Charles Hoff was without a doubt one of the
>greatest athletic talents in the world in those
In 1923 he made the world's top 20 list in the 400, 800, pole vault, long jump, and triple jump (and the top 40 list in the 100 meters).
Re: Best from a Nation
from Clay Parker: Coe in 4th place...I can't see it
He's right! I can't see Coe finishing 4th, either. The British selectors would go for a proven competitor, not a fast time-trialer. They'd select Doug Lowe (OG gold '24 & '28), or even Tommy Hampson (OG '32 gold and WR, CG '30 champ).
Coe was a pussycat when it came to major 800m competiitons. Meow!

Yep, I rate both Lowe's and Hampson's careers as better than Coe's. I figured that I'd be crucified for skipping over him, though, considering how much furor was raised by my attitude that Keino's OG gold and silver tops Ryun's OG silver.

The 6-foot-2, 225-pound running back is rated among the nation's top prospects.
Scarbrough transferred to Tuscaloosa County High from Northridge earlier this summer.
He reportedly will enroll at the private athletic training institute for his final year of high school, the first year that IMG Academy will field its own football team. The IMG team will be led by former Florida State star Chris Weinke.
Scarbrough committed to Alabama in September 2012, but continues to take visits. He visited Florida State in June.

@UleNotknow That's not a dig on Bielema on our part, btw. If I were a coach I think I'd be just like him.

A Time it Was: Bobby Kennedy in the Sixties
** Sale Was $29.95 Now $15.00 Sale **Photographs and Text by Bill Eppridge, Essay by Pete Hamill
On June 6, 1968, at the age of 42 and at the height of his popularity, Robert F. Kennedy was tragically assassinated. Presidential candidate, U.S. Senator, Kennedy was all of these things and, to many Americans, he embodied the power of possibility and positive change during a period of social unrest, racial inequality, and war.
Renowned Life photographer Bill Eppridge followed and photographed Kennedy during his early campaign days up to his untimely death, and A Time It Was features dynamic images of the public Kennedy, as well as rare, intimate ones, many of which have never before been published. An essay by Pete Hamill places the events in historical context, while Eppridge shares his inside's perspective on Kennedy.
Released to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of Kennedy's death, A Time It Was reveals why the memory and legacy of Kennedy and his dreams continue to be relevant today.
