|Condition or disease
|Acute Myeloid Leukemia With FLT3/ITD Mutation
|Procedure: Bone Marrow Transplantation Drug: Sorafenib Drug: Sorafenib Tosylate
|Not Applicable
I. Determine the toxicity and safety of incorporation of sorafenib tosylate (sorafenib) into the pre- or post-transplant maintenance setting for three types of transplants.
I. Improvement of 2 year disease free survival after bone marrow transplant by 25% based on a baseline relapse free survival at two years of 30%.
II. Secondary graft failure is defined as the decline in neutrophil count to < 500/cu mm after achieving engraftment which is unrelated to infection or drug effect (sorafenib?) and is unresponsive to stimulation by growth factors.
III. Non-relapse mortality (NRM) is defined, as death in the absence of competing risks, relapse or progression of disease.
IV. Survival without relapse or death (disease-free survival [DFS]) or without death (overall survival [OS]) will be determined and presented as Kaplan-Meier estimates at 1 and 2 years post-transplant.
V. Patients will be evaluated for chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) both as described in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) consensus project guidelines and by conventional criteria.
I. Patients will undergo serial examinations of bone marrow during the maintenance treatments evaluating minimal residual disease (MRD) by flow cytometry and FLT3 suppression by western blot analysis and plasma inhibitory assay (PIA).
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients receive sorafenib tosylate orally (PO) twice daily (BID) beginning at least 30 days after completion of induction therapy and/or transplant but no more than 120 days after transplant continuing for up to 2 years after transplant in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 24 months.

Other Names:
Drug: Sorafenib Tosylate
Given PO
Other Names:
- Proportion of patients removed from the study in each cohort due to toxicity [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]Will be reported with exact binomial proportions and 95% confidence intervals. All toxicities by type and grade will be reported. The proportion of patients with graft failure in each cohort will also be reported with exact binomial proportions and 95% confidence intervals.
- Cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality and relapse [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Estimated by competing risks analysis using Grey's method.
- Disease-free survival (DFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Standard life table methods with Kaplan-Meier (KM) plots will be used to analyze DFS. Reported with 90% confidence intervals overall and by cohort.
- Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Standard life table methods with KM plots will be used to analyze OS. Reported with 90% confidence intervals overall and by cohort.
- Change in minimal residual disease (MRD) [ Time Frame: Baseline to day 365 ]Will be assessed by flow cytometry. Box plots will be used.
- Change in FLT3 suppression [ Time Frame: Baseline to day 365 ]Will be assessed by plasma inhibitory assay and western blotting. Box plots will be used.
- Pharmacodynamic parameters of sorafenib tosylate [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years post-transplant ]Samples will be collected to assess sorafenib tosylate and the N-oxide metabolite (total and unbound) exposure to correlate with pharmacodynamic endpoints using non-parametric statistics.
- Changes in T-regulatory cell population [ Time Frame: Baseline to 2 years post-transplant ]Regression modeling of subdistribution functions in competing risks by Gray's method will be conducted to examine how changes in immunologic parameters are associated with subsequent development of acute graft versus host disease. An appropriate transformation will be used to normalize the data. Differences between pre- and post-transplantation will be explored using methods appropriate for paired data. Patterns of change in marker values over time may also be explored using appropriate modeling.

|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Acute myeloid leukemia with a FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) who are in a complete remission or partial remission (less than 10% blasts in marrow) as documented by bone marrow biopsy and who plan to undergo a bone marrow transplantation
- Patients who have had count recovery (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] > 500,000/mm^3; non transfused platelet count over 30,000/mm^3) and are at least 30 days after induction and/or transplantation but no more than 120 days post transplant
- Patients may have received any prior therapy deemed necessary for induction of remission except for patients whom have progressed while on sorafenib; patients who have responded to sorafenib previously are eligible for enrollment on the protocol
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2 (Karnofsky >= 60%)
- Life expectancy of greater than four months
- Total bilirubin less than 2 x upper limit of normal
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =< 5 x institutional upper limit of normal
- Creatinine =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal OR creatinine clearance >= 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for patients with creatinine levels > 1.5 x upper limit of normal
- The effects of sorafenib on the developing human fetus are unknown; for this reason and because tyrosine kinase inhibiting agents are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately; contraception should continue for at least 30 days after the last dose of sorafenib
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 2 weeks except for intrathecal chemotherapy (i.e., methotrexate, cytarabine, or thiotepa)
- Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents
- Patients with uncontrolled hypertension (i.e., persistent grade 3 while undergoing treatment)
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to sorafenib
- Patients with active and/or untreated central nervous system (CNS) leukemia will not be eligible

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because sorafenib is chemotherapeutic agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects; because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with sorafenib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated sorafenib
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients are excluded because management of these patients in the hematopoietic cell transplant setting has not yet been well defined and is currently the subject of investigation in other studies addressing this issue
- Patients with active acute GVHD who have been initiated on therapy or had therapy escalation within 21 days are not eligible
- Patients with lack of engraftment (less than 90% donor deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] in bone marrow or peripheral blood) after bone marrow transplant as evidence by RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) are not eligible
- Patients who are unable to swallow pills are not eligible
- Patients taking strong cytochrome P450 family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors including enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs (phenytoin, carbamazepine, or phenobarbital), rifampin, grape fruit juice, or St. John's wort are not eligible

(Phoenix, Ariz. – January 21, 2009) Attorney General Terry Goddard today announced the settlement of a landmark lawsuit against the Phoenix Country Club (PCC) in which the club agrees to drop all sex-based discrimination in its dining facilities.
The State's lawsuit, filed last September, alleged that PCC violated the Arizona Civil Rights Act's public accommodations provision prohibiting sex-based discrimination by refusing to serve women in its Men's Grill. The suit further alleged that the club retaliated against Logan and Barbara Van Sittert when they voiced opposition to PCC's segregation policy and filed a charge of discrimination with the Attorney General's Office.
"During this week of celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the historic inauguration of Barack Obama, we are proud to eliminate one more vestige of discrimination from a bygone era," Goddard said. "I also want to recognize the courage of Logan and Barbara Van Sittert in bringing this issue forward."
Under the agreement, upon the reopening of its indoor dining facilities in February when extensive renovations are completed, PCC will open all of its dining facilities, including the Men's Grill and Women's Grill, to all members, members' families and club guests and will not discriminate in providing any dining accommodations, advantages or privileges on the basis of sex.
PCC will also amend its internal rules to reflect this policy change and will send out a notice to its members advising that the club's dining facilities are, without condition, open to all members, members' families and guests and that anyone seeking to interfere with this change in policy will be in violation of club rules.
In addition, the agreement prohibits PCC from discriminating against the Van Sitterts for complaining about the sex discrimination in the Grills, for filing a charge of discrimination with the Attorney General's Office and for assisting the Attorney General with its lawsuit.
The State's lawsuit alleged that PCC fit the legal definition of a public accommodation. In the agreement, PCC says that it has made over recent months changes to its policies, procedures and practices to operate as a private club. The State accepts PCC's representation that it has taken steps to operate as a private club upon its planned reopening next month.
According to the lawsuit, the Van Sitterts complained to PCC's Board of Directors' president about the club's policy of excluding women from the Men's Grill. When the lawsuit was filed, the Men's Grill contained amenities that were superior to the amenities of the Women's Grill and other PCC dining areas. The Men's Grill was well-known within the business community as an ideal place to network, build business relationships and broker deals. The lawsuit further alleged that within days of the Van Sitterts submitting the letter, they were retaliated against by PCC members, whose actions included threats of suspension or expulsion against them.
The Arizona Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination in places of public accommodation based on a person's race, color, religion, sex, disability, national origin or ancestry. Any person who believes that their civil rights have been violated should call the Arizona Attorney General's Civil Rights Division toll-free at 1-877-491-5742, or toll free via TDD at 1-877-624-8090.
A copy of the complaint is attached and available on the Attorney General's website, www.azag.gov. For additional information, please contact Megan Erickson at (602) 542-8012.

The Investment Company Institute (ICI), the national association of U.S. investment companies, announced Monday the election of a new chairman and new governors, as well as the launch of a new global trade body.
Gregory Johnson (left), president and CEO of Franklin Resources, was elected by the group's board of directors as ICI chairman for a one-year term. Johnson, who was first elected to ICI's board in October 2005, will preside over the board, which is the governing body of the ICI, and the executive committee of the board.
The membership also elected James Boyle, president of John Hancock Financial Services; Catherine L. Newell, general counsel of Dimensional Fund Advisors; and Mary Ann Tynan, independent director of Oppenheimer Funds, to serve as governors through the fall of 2014.
The new trade body, ICI Global, will focus on regulatory, market and other issues for global investment funds, their managers and investors. Members will include regulated U.S.- and non-U.S.-based funds publicly offered to investors in jurisdictions worldwide, making it the first industry body to focus exclusively on the perspective of globally active funds. The new organization will be based in London.
Dan Waters will be the managing director of ICI Global, based in London, and Jamie Broderick, head of J.P. Morgan Asset Management in Europe, will head its steering committee.
ICI Global's policy priorities and purposes fall into four broad categories: the role of funds and fund managers in financial stability; key transnational regulatory developments for funds; global trading and market structure policy developments; and retirement savings and pension systems.
The new organization will serve as a conduit for proactive dialogue with a broad range of national and transnational regulators. It will also advocate for regulatory policies that promote funds as long-term investing vehicles. A key part of its strategy will be to work in close cooperation with national and regional fund and other associations worldwide.

Frisco police on Thursday posted red-light camera video of a driver running a red light on its official Twitter page.
The city activated its fourth red-light camera at the end of February. The video the police department tweeted came from a camera that has been running for years at the intersection of Preston and Lebanon roads.
The video shows a dark-colored sedan blowing through the light, never braking. It sails through a space between two larger vehicles that are both attempting to make a legal left turn.
The latest news from around North Texas.
On Twitter, the department applauded the other drivers for being "defensive."
The driver's license plate is not easily visible, but the release of the video doesn't sit well with some residents.
"I wouldn't want to see my video on Twitter at all," Amanda Bosserman said.
"Even though they're breaking the law, you don't need to put them out there," said Lorenzo Figueroa, who cited a right to privacy.
The city has said it plans to activate another red light camera at the intersection of Dallas and Eldorado parkways. A timetable has not been released.
Red light violations carry a $75 fine.

Meditation is the process of moving from the busyness of our external environment to a place of inner quietude. In this way, meditation is simple—but frequently it doesn't feel easy. Our lives are full, and our commitments to others are significant. Most of us have little experience going inward and few tools to do so systematically.
Each Tuesday, from October 24–December 19, we'll take a moment out of our day to find a comfortable posture, calm the breath, relax deeply, and awaken to effortless attention. We'll develop an effective practice to make common hurdles less troublesome and bring forward the fruits of meditation: reduced stress, improved sleep, enhanced sense of well-being, and greater access to intuition and creative states.
These free weekly drop-in sessions are appropriate for all levels of practitioners. Please join us, and then if you have time, visit the galleries and continue your contemplative practice. No special clothing or previous experience is required.

Wheat futures are currently 4 to 5 cents per bushel higher after being down 6 to 7 cents on Thursday. Weakness stemmed from the Egyptian tender on Wednesday, as the US made no sale due to a freight disadvantage. A higher US dollar and general selling in the grain complex also added pressure. That has reversed this morning, with the dollar weaker. Outside of actual shipping data (Export Inspections report) we will not have an update to any Export Sales data until the government is back open. A South Korean importer purchased 65,000 MT of optional origin wheat in a tender on Wednesday. The EU awarded 718,000 MT of wheat imports under their import quota.

The Plan:
Plans had been made for Spring Break and five young college girls were all set to go to California for a week of fun at the amusement parks and the beach. Friday was the big day but the trip would not start until one of the young ladies got off work later in the evening.
One of the plans was to detour to another city, spend the night at my grand-daughters uncle and aunt's house, and then head to Los Angeles where a hotel room was reserved until Tuesday.
The Storm:
I love the weather channel and most days aside from looking at MSNBC and CNN I tune in on what the weather looks like in other states. What caught my attention right away was that a massive storm was headed into California and by early Friday morning Arizona would feel its wrath. Snow up in the northern half and rain and high winds in the southern half of the state.
I am now concerned that these young ladies might not know what lies ahead. As the hours pass by and the sky turns dark, here comes the rain and hail. My daughter and I both call our lil lady and tell her what we see coming. The response we got was "we know".
As the rains beats down harder and no letup in site, another call was made by my daughter again saying that it was storming too hard and it was too late in the evening to head out. They would probably not reach Moreno Valley until about 12:O'clock in the a.m. The response "we know".
I was worried and my daughter was also. In fact I could see the water rising up in her eyes because she knew that the girls were not thinking straight. So I made a call to my brother, the Uncle!! After expressing our concerns to him, he called. His response to his niece was "%$$%^&" and "&%&**" and "I mean it!!!!!!"
The next thing we knew the girls came by the house and said they would not leave until early in the morning around 5:00 A.M. The text message came in around 7:O'clock A.M. and they just hit the road. I asked my daughter if they had overslept even though I was okay with that time. She said they may have been relieved to leave when they did. LOL
Aside from calling when they reached a point to tell us where they were, the next important call came when they got to Los Angeles. They found the hotel but could not find a place to park. I could hear my daughter saying that it must be awfully crowded. She said can't you guys just pull up front and go check in and then find a parking spot.
The next I heard from daughter was' what do you mean there was no up front, what's the name of the hotel?
After a few more words and telling my grand-daughter to call as soon as they check in, she got on the Internet and Thank God for Google
Good Gracious Googly Woogly Now!
The next sound I heard was Oh My God, Mama, this is the hotel where they found this lady's body in the water tower. Mama, this is where the serial killer Richard Ramirez stayed!! The next sound I heard was my daughter's finger hitting the digits on her phone calling her daughter. The first call was not answered. The second ringy-dingy was and they had checked in to the infamous Hotel Cecil.
My grand-daughter must have said something to the fact that the room was small after listening to what my daughter told her she found out on Google. She stated that she would call her back after talking to her friends. The nights had all been paid for and their money was all rationed out on what they were to spend while they were there.
Me, I got on the phone again and called my brother, told him what daughter found on Google and asked him to call her again. He called and told them that he knew the area and that they should consider what they would lose versus what they would really lose as far as safety. The area they were in was full of folks that were not so desirous. They would be subject to be ripped off of their belongings etc, etc. He also stated that he could get them a couple rooms at the base. Again my granddaughter said she would call him back after talking to the rest of the girls.
The Rest Of The Story:
Hopefully they were in the process of getting the heck out of there when they decided to take pictures of what the room looked like. As they were filming, they heard a man scream from the room next door.
The Calm After The Storm:
The young ladies had to cut their losses, see what they can find that will be free but fun and know that lessons had to be learned. Lessons like you do in school to get a good grade. Do your homework because it pays off in the end.
Don't let this be the last of your spring breaks as a group; it's all a part of growing up. By the way, old Hugh looks like he is all waxed up (smile)

BEIJING (Reuters) - Inflation is the main long-term risk for China as the economy makes a transition from a planned economy to a market-based one and deeper financial reforms are needed to complete the move, central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan said on Saturday.
"There is a general tendency for overheating impulses during China's economic transition process and we should always stress the need to control inflation," Zhou told a financial forum.
"In most occasions, pressures from various sides is to loosen monetary policy to spur growth, but there is less push for preventing economic overheating and inflation," he said.
A main feature of China's economic transition is that many entities, including local governments, are not subject to "soft constraints", which means they tend to spend more and fuel economic overheating, Zhou added.
China's annual inflation eased to 1.7 percent in October from 1.9 percent in September after a two-year fight by the central bank to bring it back under the government's 4 percent target after the effects of a 2008-09 economic stimulus program lifted CPI to a three-year high of 6.5 percent in July 2011.
The policy tightening needed to do so pushed required reserve ratios (RRR) at commercial banks to a record high of 21.5 percent as the central bank strove to lock up excess liquidity that fuelled speculative investments and drove up basic prices.
The downturn encountered by China subsequently, as the European Union's sovereign debt crisis has festered and sapped demand for Chinese exports from its single biggest market, has complicated the policy backdrop.
During the current policy cycle, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) cut interest rates in June and July this year and has lowered required reserve ratios (RRR) three times since late 2011 to free an estimated 1.2 trillion yuan ($190 billion) for lending as part of a year-long program of pro-growth policy fine-tuning.
The central bank, though, has cautiously held off on more aggressive easing, opting instead to pump short-term cash into money markets to ease credit strains, a move analysts say reflects Beijing's concerns about reigniting property speculation and inflation risks.
It also liberalized the interest rate environment with its June and July cuts to give commercial banks more room to set both lending and deposit rates competitively.
The PBOC is not independent, unlike the U.S. Federal Reserve or the European Central Bank, as it needs the cabinet's green-light on key decisions on interest rates and currency, but analysts say it has been gaining more influence on policies.
Zhou, who been campaigning for faster interest rate and currency reforms in the past decade, is likely to step down early next year after he was left out of a key policymaking group of the ruling Communist Party.
And Zhou kept up his call for deeper reforms.
"On the one hand, we need to maintain a healthy economy, but we also feel deeply that the People's Bank of China must push forward reforms and opening up," Zhou told a financial forum in Beijing.
"Without reforms and opening up, economic development and financial stability cannot be sustained and monetary policy transmission mechanisms will not be healthy," he said.
Zhou was pivotal in forging a consensus within the party leadership that led to a landmark revaluation of the yuan in 2005 and a decision in June 2010 to end a two-year peg to the dollar introduced to help China weather the global financial crisis.

Yesterday, my family celebrated the life of my Aunt Teri, whom we lost in May after a long battle with cancer. She planned the event herself, down to the menu, and couldn't have done so more perfectly. Several folks stood up and said beautiful words about Teri. I didn't — I knew I would lose it if I tried. I think most folks who've met me know I'm more of a writer than a speaker anyhow.
Teri and I had become very close over the past several years. I made it a point to visit her in Winchester at least twice a year. I learned so much from her and I miss her terribly.
Not only was she my aunt, she was my godmother, drinking buddy, "big sister," gardening/cooking inspiration, shopping pal, fellow daytrip explorer, crossword puzzle clue helper, backgammon instructor, music/movie sharer, family-secret spiller and kindred spirit.
Aunt Teri had a wicked grin and catching laugh that matched her sense of humor. She used to entertain all of us cousins when we were little by flaring her nostrils. She could curse like a sailor and inspired me in that regard too.
As a youngster, I thought Aunt Teri was an Indian princess. She always tanned so dark and had such long, dark hair. I have so many fond memories of hanging with her on our family beach trips and visiting her out in the mountains of western Virginia.
Visiting Aunt Teri was always special — she had the most beautiful and productive garden. In recent years at her house in Winchester, I spent hours with her in the backyard, photographing bees among the lavender, picking raspberries and tomatoes, taunting birds who tried to do the same. We'd grill, drink more beer than probably is advisable, and chat for hours on end.
One of my favorite memories of hanging out with Aunt Teri was shortly after her divorce. She had just bought a house and had a ton of things to hang on the walls, but had never used a drill before. She had my grandfather's old drill — the thing is entirely made out of metal and weighs about 10 pounds. I was cowed by it too, but I took her out back and had her practice drilling holes in the stump of an old tree. She was giddy with excitement over conquering the intimidating power tool.
The next time I came to visit her, her walls were full of prints, pictures and even a pot rack in her kitchen that she had installed herself.
Aunt Teri was an awe-inspiring cook. Her homemade pickles and brandied peaches couldn't be beat. I still have one last jar of her canned green beans left. It will be a very special occasion when I decide to serve those.
The last time I saw Aunt Teri was on Mother's Day. I had spent the weekend with her, helping her out around the house and garden. She was having trouble talking, but we still had a really great visit and I'm so thankful I got to see her then.
She was gone three days later. As is so often the case, we all thought we had more time…
I think of Aunt Teri every time I set foot in my own garden now. I so wish she were still here to quiz on how to take care of this plant and when to harvest that vegetable.
Heaven has gained one hell of a gardener.

Leonard Slatkin is well known to St. Louis audiences because of his long tenure at the helm of the St. Louis Symphony. He returns to St. Louis to conduct the orchestra in concerts January 18 and 19 in Powell Hall. But before that, he will revisit his Hollywood roots when he appears as pianist, narrator and conductor in a program of music by and about Hollywood film composers and musicians to benefit the Chamber Music Society of St. Louis.
Slatkin is the son of violinist and conductor Felix Slatkin and cellist Eleanor Aller. The elder Slatkin was born in St. Louis and joined the St. Louis Symphony while still a teen. After moving to Los Angeles, he met and married Aller, and the pair were founding members of the famed Hollywood String Quartet. Both Slatkin and Aller performed with Frank Sinatra and forged a friendship that frequently brought the famed singer into the Slatkin home.
The Slatkin/Sinatra collaboration will be explored during the Chamber Music Society's concert with a special tribute. Also featured on the program are works by John Williams, Franz Waxman, Erich von Korngold, Aaron Copland and others.
Leonard Slatkin and Chamber Music Society of St. Louis Artistic Director and President Marc Gordon were Steve Potter's guest on "Cityscape" to discuss Slatkin's St. Louis and Hollywood connections and the "Notes from Hollywood" program.

Have you ever had a massage that left your skin so greasy, you felt like you'd just climbed out of an oil slick? It's not a pleasant feeling, especially when you have to put on your clothes afterwards.
The amount of massage oil used makes a difference, but so does the type of massage oil used. There are many different massage oils available. Some feel more greasy, go rancid faster, or are more likely to irritate skin or cause allergic reactions.
Some commercial massage oil blends contain cheaper massage oils as the primary oil and include smaller amounts of the better oils. But there are also plenty of great blended massage oils available—this list of massage oils can help you decipher the ingredient list and choose the best massage oil for you.

i find my spot on the couch.
lucas is playing in the living room with cameron and i ask amy to please take care of him.
i put my face in the indigo girls t-shirt she's brought me. another contraction.

i bury my head in his arm on each contraction.
he's still in his work clothes. i smell the sawdust. it comforts me. i hold on tight.

"such a way" by stephen kellogg
"…she moves in such a way
that people fall in love with her every single day…"
i realize that the sun has gone down. it's dark in our bedroom.

i need to push!

it hurts.
push! he's coming.
someone! please! get him out!
i lean into andrey. sawdust. "you're doing so good. you're amazing" he says.
i hear my mom again. "isn't she so strong, andrey?"
i need to move. i turn around to sit down.
push! it burns! push!
"there's a cord" i hear my mom quietly say. "ok. there."
i push. i am loud. i can't believe this.
he's in my arms.
he's warm and wet. i can feel his heart beat, beat, beat against my chest.
i look at my mom. "is he here?" i ask.
my eyes are huge.
i look at andrey. he has tears.
i look at my fresh baby boy.
ginger flicks his tiny foot and i hear him wail.
he's here.
"he's gavin. isn't he" i whisper.
"oh, gavin west. it's you."

Living with autism
School is back in session, and once again I'm grateful. As the parent of an autistic son, I've become comfortable with the notion of school as not just a learning opportunity for Harrison, but also as respite care as well.
When Harrison is back in school, I have a block of time to work. It's quiet. I can even take some time to relax.
Because I'm around more than my wife during the work week, I've been told I should write more about my experiences as the parent of an autistic child. My stories could make for a great book, friends say. They tell me the subject is timely and that it would be therapeutic. But I have difficulty sharing these experiences. It's a little bit painful.
Practically anything you can write about the autism experience would focus on the challenges. Anything else would be like putting a "My Child is an Honor Student" sticker on your car. Sure, I could brag about how well Harrison does in school or about his uncanny ability to quickly figure out just about any electronic device handed to him. He has musical and artistic talent. Of course, that's about as riveting as one of those holiday form letters. I am also not a whiner by nature, and I don't want to complain.
I prefer capturing Harrison in pictures rather than words. In photos he runs free outdoors, hikes, skis and explores; he learns to shoot a slingshot. Nobody knows about the hour it took to get him outside. The tantrum over a pebble in his shoe or sticker in his sock. Or about the two miles of shrieking after a tumble on the trail. A picture is always purely of him.
Some parents will read this and respond with the usual "Oh, my kids did that." Right. But not every day. Not every hour. Not forever. Parenting is a full-time job. Parenting an autistic child is a full-time job with overtime and little hope for retirement.
In the summer, we go to the local farmers market. Most people at the market generally welcome Harrison despite the occasional disruption. One such Thursday, Harrison's second-grade teacher from the previous year was there.
Harrison sometimes has problems processing when he sees people in places where they are out of context. When his teacher said "Hi," he flung himself down, pulled his hat over his eyes and started screaming loudly and crying. "She's a stranger," he shrieked. "I don't want to see her."
I didn't know how to react. The teacher — without question the best of his entire school experience — was totally cool, though she must have been embarrassed by the outburst.
After swimming lessons at the pool this summer, Harrison was running around outside while I spoke with his instructor. Suddenly, he tripped and fell right on his face on the cement, cutting his nose, lips and mouth. The screaming was almost unbearable as we took him back inside to clean up the wound. He continued to scream all the way home, a 25-minute drive in an already noisy Subaru Forester.
Screaming is actually just part of life around here. Often, upon awakening, Harrison screams. Anything he feels like protesting — eating breakfast, the battery running low on his iPad, being told not to scream, whatever — he protests with noise. Over time this noise has a tendency to scramble a person's brain. If you don't believe me, trust our dog, who has officially moved in with our neighbor.
The day before school started this fall, we went shopping for school supplies. What could have been a fun shopping excursion quickly became an epic nightmare with loud outbursts over everything from a game of Angry Birds to USB drives and choosing only one pencil box, to tantrums about candy, swiping the debit card and signing the electronic pad at the checkout. He also disappeared for a few moments while we were in the store, which was frightening until I was able to locate him.
Back at the car, I sat down in the front seat with the door open and my feet still parked on the pavement. I sat that way for quite some time before gathering the energy, strength, courage, or whatever combination of all those things I needed to finally pull my legs into the car and drive on. I felt exhausted.
The next morning, Harrison would get on the school bus. I would get back to the job of managing a ranch and mining my brain for words. Some of them would be what you just read.

Free Fall in Crimson
Free Fall in Crimson
2 oz Cruz Del Sol Tequila (Silver)
2 oz Grapefruit Juice
1/2 oz Lime juice
3/4 oz Triple Sec
1/2 oz Grenadine (more or less to suit your desired level of sweetness)
1 cup of ice
Place the 6 Ingredients into a blender
Blend until Smooth
Transfer to a tall chilled glass
Enjoy when the sun is warm, and the day is lazy.
Note: This cocktail continues my series of Tequila cocktails named after the Travis McGee novels of American author John D. MacDonald. I have always like the Travis McGee novels, and the titles of these novels just seem to me to be particularly well suited to be also the names of great cocktails. This tasty cocktail in particular is aptly named, for as you allow the bar drink to rest the crimson liquid settles while the crushed ice rises.

Boston Parks and Recreation
The Boston Parks and Recreation Department is reporting an increase in tree vandalism cases in City parks, specifically an invasive and deadly form of theft that targets unique features known as burls. The public's help is requested in identifying the culprits of these crimes.
Parks Department Arborist Greg Mosman explains that a burl is a growth abnormality that can appear anywhere on the tree trunk. Because of their rarity and unique grain pattern, burls are highly desired for woodworking, sculpture, and inlays on the interiors of high-end automobiles.
The damage was first noticed about six months ago and has increased with a dozen locations hit in the Emerald Necklace, mostly in Franklin Park, and a more recent attack on a tree reported at Evans Way Park on the Fenway on October 2.
Mosman says the vandals use chainsaws to remove the burls, inflicting scars and injuries that adversely affect the overall health of the tree and can eventually lead to its death. He notes that no particular species seems targeted with the victims so far including oaks, hemlocks, and lindens.
"It's all over the map," he reports, adding that it has yet to be determined whether the burls are being stolen for sale, personal use by woodworkers, or a combination of both. Additional cases have been reported in the neighboring communities of Brookline and Watertown with vandals sometimes using ropes to get up into the trees.
The Parks Department is asking the public's assistance by reporting any unusual activities, especially anyone climbing trees or using chainsaws in City parks, to call the Boston Police at 911. Anyone with information can also call the PARKline at 617.635.7275 or the Mayor's Hotline at 617.635.4500.
"This vandalism is an attack on us all," noted Boston Parks Commissioner Antonia Pollak. "These trees are public property in parks owned by the City and funded by Boston's taxpayers. These selfish attacks trying to capture the beauty of the wood could kill the very trees that created it."

A CVS in the Bronx was evacuated Wednesday after heavy snow caused the roof to collapse.
The FDNY responded to the store on Burke Avenue in Williamsbridge at about 1:45 p.m.
As the roof caved in, water sprinklers in the ceiling burst, flooding the store.
U.S. & World
No injuries were reported. Eighty percent of the roof is a total loss, firefighters said, and the building will have to be demolished.
The heavy, unrelenting snow has caused a number of structural issues throughout the region in recent days.
Several schools in Sparta, N.J., were dismissed early Tuesday after officials became concerned about heavy snow on rooftops.
"Melting snow is going to make it worse, especially if the drains on a lot of these commercial structures are not clear," said Michael Johannes of Nations Roof.
Johannes says concerned homeowners shouldn't try to go up on the roof themselves.
"You need to have someone that understands it, and has their safety in mind," he said.

We need to be clear about who we are trying to be equal to.
In her blog post Arielle Loren asserts that most women do not identify as being feminists even if they share its core ideologies, that there has been a shift in the contemporary agenda for women's equality and that women are tired of rhetoric of hardcore oppression and patriarchy. She goes on to say that "frankly, all of the traditional feminist criticism of her "Who Runs The World (Girls)" video is just another example of the disconnect between intellectual theory and real life." Beyonce is the face of contemporary feminism because women feel empowered listening to Beyonce's music, so consequently, they take this "power" with them as they go on about their day to day lives.
Let me lay out my assumptions.
Feminism is not about being equal to men. All men are not equal. A black man from 135th street with a Harvard MBA does not have the same social capital as a Black man from 135th street who just got out of Rikers. Full stop.
We need to be clear about who we want to be equal to. In fact, we need to ask do we want to be equal or do we want to be free?
Second assumption.
Black feminists are rooted in Love.
Black Feminists are interested in creating spaces for men to feel because men who don't feel do not know how to Love. Black feminists are interested in holding themselves, and others accountable when they say racist, homopobic 'ish, because thats how we roll. Black feminists will get up in that behind when a rapper tries to make jokes and bets about non consensual choking of women during sex. Peace to Jay Electronica. The Black feminist I know are rooted in Love. Being rooted in Love means that you understand that you will not be able to have meaningful emotionally invested relationships with another adult until you have forgiven you one OR both of your parents for abandoning you. Peace to all my homies who are in therapy. We grown.
Black Feminist Love is hella grown.
We are so grown that we understand like Arielle Loren does, the importance of Black women being able to be sexual, complicated, whole human beings. We understand that is is particularly important for Black women who are rendered 50 million ho's on the regular in pop culture. The mission statement for the Black Feminist blog Betta Come Correct states that:
So Black women having space to be multidimensional and whole is a part of the contemporary Black feminist agenda.
Back to Beyonce.
As you many of you know I have done a lot of writing about Beyonce, because I am concerned about how the messages that she conveys shapes expectations within Black heterosexual relationships. Given the fact that she made 80 million dollars in 2007-2008 and that earning that kind of money is extremely rare for people in general Black women in particular, Beyonce's messages influence society and they shape how Black women look at themselves and their partners. Black women are not allowed to earn nearly 100 million dollars unless they are beautiful, talented, non-threatening to White men and they convey historical stereotypes about Black men and women. Dave Chappelle walked away for a reason ya'll.
Because I care about Black women, I pay close attention to what Beyonce says.
It is dangerous to make open statements that women run the world, because there is so much evidence women get the shit end of the stick in the world.
Black, Latina and Asian women are sex trafficked in the Bronx, East Oakland and Las Vegas.
Eastern European women are sex trafficked globally.
An estimated nearly 100 Million female fetuses and girl children have been aborted or neglected in China and India over the last thirty years.
Women are 50.7% of the US Population. Yet, women are only 16.4% of Congress. They are 17 of the 100 members of the Senate. They are 73 of the 435 member of the House of Representatives.
Women are routinely paid less for the same jobs that men do and this is broken down byrace.In fact when I told my students two weeks ago that they could graduate from college and be offered less money, just because of what was between their legs, they looked depressed.
They couldn't believe how profoundly unfair it was. When I said that "Women are cheap labor" they looked mortified. I explained to them that shutting down was not going to create a more just and equitable world. That they cannot change a system if they do not understand it. And now that they do know that women are offered less money to do the work that men can do, they are expected to go out into the world and change it. Peace to the Equal Pay Act.
Poverty is feminized in this country, meaning that a main predictor of poverty is having a baby because children are expensive (childcare, healthcare, food, clothes, shelter) and there is very little support such as state/federal child care, paid federal family medical leave, support for families who work full time as parents.
We need to be honest about who we are tying to be equal to.
Women do not run the world. The world shits on women. Ask Ester Baxter. Ask SusanGiffords. Ask the woman who claims that she was assaulted and raped by the former President of the IMF. Ask Shaniya Davis's family. Ask Ayianna Jones's family. AskSakia Gunn's family. Ask. Ask. Ask.
Now if we want to celebrate the catchiness of a Beyonce song, or honor her athletic ability, her fierceness as a dancer, that is perfectly legititmate. But to call her the face of modern day feminism is ahistorical and a slap in the face to Black, White, Latino, Asian, Muslim, Native American women and men who have been working to change our world so that being born with a vagina does not automatically mean being raised to be someones wife, street harassment material, nanny, slave or prostitute, but a fully developed human being.

In case you forgot, Bethesda is here to help you remember that they may be the finest console publisher operating today. Need proof? Look no further than today's announcement of a pair of $29.99 bundles.
Bundle 1 consists of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and BioShock Infinite while bundle 2 features Borderlands 2 and Dishonored.
Those four games are nearly inarguably four of the best games to come out in the last few years.
The only real downside, beyond what must me some serious existential pain you're feeling if you already own three of them, is that none come with any of the myriad DLC content that's been released.
It's still a great deal, if you ask me.

A coalition of conservative New Democrats, whose leader is being investigated by a Congressional ethics committee over Wall Street fundraising, has officially come out in favor of gutting financial reform. The issue they've targeted: derivatives, the most closely watched effort of the bank overhaul. Good luck in November, guys.
New Democrats like to say they are "pro-business," but what they usually mean is, "willing to funnel federal gifts to bigwig executives." Their chair is Rep. Joseph Crowley, D-N.Y., currently under investigation by the House Office of Congressional Ethics over a fundraiser he held just days before the final House vote on the Wall Street reform package back in December 2009. Crowley is a favorite of Wall Street CEOs, who has pulled in more than $2.6 million from the finance industry over the course of his Congressional career, over 250 percent more than any other industry.
Crowley isn't the only New Dem close to Wall Street. Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut is a former Goldman Sachs executive, Rep. Melissa Bean of Illinois has been doing big banks' dirty work for years, and New Dems score more campaign contributions from Wall Street than their regular-old-Democrat colleagues.
The new Dems are opposing the tough derivatives overhaul being pushed by Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., known on Capitol Hill as "Section 716." The Lincoln plan is a huge blow to Wall Street profits and the first real crack in the too-big-to-fail armor worn by the nation's largest banks. The derivatives market is the risky casino that brought down AIG and Enron, and played a huge role in the inflation of the subprime mortgage bubble and necessitating the bailouts of megabanks when that bubble burst. While a little under ten percent of the market consists of risk-hedging by businesses, the remainder is a speculative nightmare.
Taxpayers actually subsidize this market by allowing commercial banks to deal derivatives. Since commercial banks have access to cheap Fed loans and FDIC-guaranteed deposits, this funding ends up feeding the global casino. If you force banks to move their derivatives operations to an independently capitalized subsidiary with no access to taxpayer perks, the market shrinks, and with it, big bank profits and bonuses.
But of course, bankers like their bonuses, and they've enlisted the New Dems to protect them. A total of 43 New Democrats are circulating a letter around Capitol Hill in an effort to defang the derivatives overhaul (interestingly, 26 New Dems have refused to sign on to this overt Wall Street sellout). Here's the key section:
"Section 716 . . . would increase systemic risk by forcing derivatives transactions into less regulated and less capitalized institutions and impede effective oversight of the derivatives markets . . . Legitimate conflict of interest concerns are addressed by the ban on proprietary trading in the Volcker rule, and, accordingly, we believe Section 716 should be removed from the legislation."
Nobody in Washington takes these claims seriously. One is a bald-faced lie, the other an effort to obfuscate other New Dem efforts to defang the Volcker Rule itself.
First, the lie. The New Dems are claiming that the Lincoln provision would push derivatives into the shadows, when, in fact, it would bring them into the light. Right now, most derivatives transactions are conducted off-balance-sheet, meaning banks don't have to disclose information about these risky deals to their investors, making it easy for them to skirt capital requirements. The idea that the Lincoln plan could actually make the derivatives market more opaque or harder to regulate than they are now is just laughable.
The Wall Street reform bill includes a set of capital rules for all derivatives trading, rules which apply to everybody who engages in derivatives activity, be they a hedge fund, a bank, or a bank-affiliate. There is absolutely no way in which Lincoln's plan would be "forcing derivatives transactions into less regulated and less capitalized institutions."
The opposite, in fact, would happen. Banks would have to put up more of their own money in order to back derivatives trades, because they wouldn't have access to taxpayer money to back them. That's why the bank lobby is fighting the Lincoln language like crazy.
The bank lobby has been pushing for weeks to secure some kind of compromise in which the Volcker Rule is substituted for Lincoln's derivatives plan. There is almost no overlap between the two proposals. The Volcker Rule bans outright gambling by banks-- Lincoln's plan is an effort to rein in gambling outside of the banking system itself.
And New Dems are also making a huge push behind the scenes to gut the Volcker Rule. As Brian Beutler has reported, New Dems Dennis Moore, D-Kan., and Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., are part of a team that hopes to secure a giant fatal loophole allowing banks to invest up to 5 percent of their capital in hedge funds. In other words, no gambling, except when you conduct this gambling with a hedge fund. This would totally gut the purpose of the Volcker Rule. Hedge fund investments have a habit of creating absolutely massive losses—even when the upfront investment is relatively low. In the go-go years of the housing bubble, Bear Stearns put $40 million into a hedge fund to gamble on mortgages. As Mike Konczal has emphasized, when that hedge fund blew up in 2007, Bear Stearns had to payout over $3.2 billion in losses—80 times what they put into it. If that $40 million had been 5 percent of Bear's capital, the company would have been bankrupt four times over when the hedge fund went down.
The New Dems are hoping that this overt hatchet-work for the bank lobby will simply go unnoticed in the media firestorm surrounding the BP oil catastrophe and General McChrystal's inability to understand chain-of-command under a Democratic commander-in-chief.

Cristiano Ronaldo got the better of Lionel Messi on Tuesday, scoring twice to lead Real Madrid to a 3-1 win at Barcelona and a spot in the Copa del Rey final.
After salvaging a 1-1 draw in the first leg, Madrid neutralized Barcelona's passing game and counterattacked to perfection at the Camp Nou to hand its archrival its first home loss in any competition since last April.
"We played a great game," Ronaldo said. "We faced the game with a serious attitude, played better and scored three goals, which is tough to do."
It was also a second straight cup setback for the Catalan club, which is running away with the Spanish league but lost 2-0 at AC Milan in the first leg of its Champions League last-16 matchup.
While Messi had a quiet night, Ronaldo scored for a sixth straight visit to Camp Nou when he earned and converted a penalty in the 13th minute. Ronaldo hit again on the break in the 57th before Raphael Varane got his second goal of the series in the 68th to turn a convincing win into a rout.
Defender Jordi Alba scored late for Barcelona, but it was much too late to prevent Madrid from advancing 4-2 on aggregate. Madrid will play either Atletico Madrid or Sevilla in the Copa del Rey final on May 18.
After struggling in his first encounters with Barcelona, Ronaldo has become a nemesis for the Catalan club by scoring goals that have directly contributed to them losing titles the past three seasons.
Besides ending Barcelona's cup defense this campaign, Ronaldo scored here to dethrone Barcelona as league champions last season - after also netting the winning header against Barcelona in the 2011 cup final.
"Ronaldo is our reference. He's vital for us," said Madrid captain Iker Casillas, who in a rare move spoke in place of coach Jose Mourinho, even though the goalkeeper sat out because of a broken hand. "He has shown how good he is not just today but in other `clasico' matches. He is on a great run right now and we have to try and get the most out of it."
While Ronaldo put on one of his most memorable performances since joining Madrid, Messi couldn't keep up as the opposing defense again surrounded him and his teammates never picked up the slack.
A victory in the cup for Madrid would go some way toward salvaging what could be Jose Mourinho's last season with the club, after seeing its defense of the Spanish league title stutter and crumble.
With another "clasico" looming on Saturday at Madrid in the league, that title is firmly in Barcelona's grasp as it has a 12-point lead in the standings, with Mourinho's team another four points back.
That means Madrid can turn its attention to next Tuesday's Champions League match at Manchester United, following a 1-1 home draw in the first leg of their last-16 series.
Since being thrashed 5-0 in his first game in charge of Madrid in 2010, Mourinho has a record of four wins, six draws and six losses against Barcelona. And Madrid has come a long way with only one loss in their last seven contests.
For Barcelona, it was their worst defeat at the hands of its fierce rival since losing 4-1 in the Santiago Bernabeu in 2008.
The two cup losses also indicate that Barcelona is sorely missing coach Tito Vilanova, who is still undergoing treatment in New York after having a second tumor in two years removed from his throat in December.
Barcelona, which was again led by assistant coach Jordi Roura, has five wins, three draws and three losses since mid-January.
"This is a hard loss to accept but we have to pick ourselves up quickly," Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas said. "We had our chances but they get out on the break so easily and we left too many spaces open. We need to learn from our mistakes (and) remember that we still have two titles to fight for."

This was a workman-like effort for Jamaz Richardson.
This was a workmanlike effort for Jamaz Richardson.
The Lejeune senior ran for 181 yards and four touchdowns on 20 carries to lead the Devilpups to a 42-12 win over Rosewood on Friday night in a nonconference game aboard Camp Lejeune.
The 5-foot-6, 134-pound Richardson did most of his damage in the first half as he ran for 164 yards and three touchdowns before halftime to help Lejeune take a 35-12 lead into the break.
�I just get out there and run and let my blockers do what they got to do,� Richardson said. �When they hit a block, I cut off and just go as far as I can.�
This marked the third consecutive week Richardson ran for over 100 yards in helping the Devilpups (3-1) record their third straight victory following a 36-7 loss at Swansboro last month. Lejeune plays host to Dixon (4-0) next week.
�We did a good job,� Lejeune coach Darryl Schwartz said. �We had a good week of practice, we had a good hitting week of practice, we were psyched all week and we had great discipline. We came out like gang-busters.�
Richardson finished averaging 9 yards per carry. He scored touchdowns on runs of 8, 39, 43 and 1 yards, all four scores coming after he took pitches from sophomore quarterback Daxton Derrick.
�I get out to the edge and (fullback) Stephen DiCenso gets on his blocks,� Richardson said about the pitches. �It�s all about speed and the key blocks.�
Richardson is not only quick, he is elusive. He can slide around would-be tacklers and continue churning for more yards.
�I don�t know how,� Richardson said. �I guess it�s the mentality of, �Don�t let anyone touch me.��
Richardson�s 39-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter gave the Devilpups a 14-0 lead. It was set up by senior Alex Ynfante�s 12-yard run to the Rosewood 39-yard line on fourth-and-4. Lejeune actually punted moments earlier on fourth-and-9, but the Eagles were called for running into the kicker.
After lining up to punt again, Ynfante took a high snap and ran toward the right sideline for a first down.
�That�s our play,� Schwartz said. �I have to give credit to our assistants. We want to do that play once in a while.�
And while the fake punt was big, Richardson�s 43-yard scoring run was perhaps the finest play of the game. After taking a pitch to the right side, Richardson changed direction and charged toward the left sideline, where he went untouched as he ran toward the end zone to give Lejeune a 28-6 second-quarter lead.
�Anytime he touches the ball, you can say it can be a touchdown,� Schwartz said. �Now he has great blocking, too. (Running back) Brady Bodine blocked really well and the line blocked well.�
Richardson�s 1-yard score that made it 42-12 in the third quarter was set up by a muffed Rosewood punt.
Richardson, though, wasn�t the only one to find the end zone for the Devilpups.
Derrick added a 4-yard scoring run on a quarterback sneak while Lejeune senior Cameron Mallard returned an interception 30 yards for a touchdown to give Lejeune a 35-6 lead with 2:21 left in the second quarter.
Overall, it was a dominating effort for the Devilpups, who beat Rosewood 41-15 last year in the regular season before losing to the Eagles 34-20 at home in the first round of the NCHSAA 1-A playoffs.
Rosewood fell to 1-3 entering next week�s home game against South Lenoir.
�I wanted them again,� Richardson said.
Senior Jamari McGown led Rosewood with 119 yards rushing and a touchdown to go along with a 48-yard touchdown reception. He scored on a 1-yard touchdown run with 32 seconds left to cut Lejeune�s lead to 35-12.
It was a score that did not set well with the Devilpups.
�We went over into halftime and instead of looking happy, we were upset because we allowed them to score,� Schwartz said. �We can�t let them happen if we are going to move on.�
The Devilpups seemed to have learned their lesson after that score.
�They didn�t score after that,� said Bodine, a linebacker.
McGown was held to just 14 yards rushing in the second half. He appeared to be Rosewood�s most athletic player, something that concerned the Devilpups.
�We have great linebackers, the Bodine brothers and DiCenso,� Schwartz said. �We made sure we keyed on the people we needed to key on. The linebackers transfer the knowledge we give them into the game.�
Apparently the entire Lejeune team is getting the message. The Devilpups are on a three-game winning streak.
�Obviously I would like to be 4-0,� Brady Bodine said. �But winning three straight games is good. We have improved each week.�

FAYETTEVILLE — Former Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson has signed his rookie contract with the Oakland Raiders.
Oakland general manager Reggie McKenzie announced Wilson's signing Tuesday, although the terms of the deal were not available. Wilson was the Oakland's fourth-round draft pick in last April's draft.
The Greenwood native will compete with former LSU quarterback Matt Flynn and former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor for the starting job when Oakland's training camp opens later this week. Flynn, who signed with the Raiders in the offseason after being the backup to rookie Russell Wilson in Seattle last season, is projected to be Oakland's starter when the season begins in September.
Wilson played in 37 games with 24 starts during his Arkansas career. He set school records in passing yards (7,765) and completions (593).
