The latest gossip, innuendo, and cold hard facts about the San Francisco food scene.
What would the city be without Tosca Cafe? Inside Scoop reports the famous S.F. institution's rent has been increased by its strip-club-owning landlord, and that they can't afford the new rate. It looks as though this may only be the first chapter of this story.
Sweet news: Earlier we mentioned that Sift & Cupcake and Dessert Bar opens today. Also, Tablehopper says Victoria Pastry Co., the 89-year-old bakery in North Beach, has also reopened in its new location (700 Filbert at Powell).
There's a new South Park lunch spot. Grub Street discovers Small Foods, a grab-and-go market and cafe, is serving the usual lunch staples of sandwiches, salads, and soups.
Chowhounders have discovered Y&Y Vietnamese Restaurant (sister restaurant to Yummy Yummy) has opened in the inner Richmond. Expect an expanded dessert and drink menu. They also discover another recent opener down the street, Sweethut, is serving all the tapioca tea favorites..
Those who love to DIY their dinner, Tablehopper reminds us the first S.F. location of Shabuway has opened (5120 Geary at 15th Ave.). We teased its opening last week
For all the burger lovers out there, Inside Scoop shares that Roam Artisan Burgers is readying to open their latest location Fillmore this Friday.
And Inside Scoop says the De La Paz's coffee cart is back to brewing outside its pending cafe space in SOMA, that is still about five months out from opening.

Listed in: Computer Science, as COSC-40
The topic for spring 2011 will be "Computing with Massive Data Sets." Modern computers have permitted enormous data sets to be built that contain, for example, mapping data, scientific observations, or records of commercial transactions. Although current disk technology makes it straightforward to store such a data set, it must be organized in a way that will permit it to be manipulated efficiently. Data structures that are appropriate for small amounts of data do not usually extend to massive data sets. Careful organization can also make it possible to display large data sets (or parts of them) in a way that is useful to users without being overwhelming.One of the problems that we will explore is efficient route-finding in large maps. We will discuss some of the approaches that have been proposed, along with ways of organizing map data to permit fast computations and techniques for streaming results to users.
Requisite: Computer Science 12 and 20. Spring semester. Professor L. McGeoch.

I decided I wanted to start knitting using the basic knit stitch which is also known as the garter stitch. When most people start knitting they typically start off by knitting a dishcloth or washcloth as these are very quick to knit and super easy.
I decided I needed to pick up some yarn because all of the yarn I own is made with acrylic. I went to my local Walmart because I didn't have time to make it to the local yarn stores I usually shop at. I could only find one brand of 100% cotton yarn, which was the brand peaches and cream.
I recommend 100% cotton yarn because it will be less likely to shrink when washing as with some of the acrylic yarns.
This was my first time working with cotton yarn. I loved that it was less likely to fuzz up like acrylic yarn and I didn't have to worry about accidentally breaking the yarn. I really enjoyed it and absolutely love the bright colors. I ended up buying almost every color they had with plans to make many different wash cloths with different patterns. I'm still a beginner knitter so I'm not sure how many different patterns I'll really be able to create but I look forward to trying out different things. I hope you all come along with me on this journey.
If you're interested in learning how I created this dishcloth please continue reading for the pattern. I also have a video tutorial below.

MasterCard Classic Preview
Even though they shaved off 25 yards, Bosque Real is still the longest course on Tour at 6876 with par at 72. While some of its length is negated by the thin air at over 7000 feet above sea level, the course has still played tougher than average all three years it has been on the schedule. Last year the wet weather actually helped the MasterCard scoring just miss the overall average, probably because the greens were holding approaches better than usual. The forecast is a good one, so expect rounds of 74 to be the norm. Louise Friberg confirms on her site that the players will be using carts again to keep the rounds from exceeding six hours.
The Constructivist mentioned last week that the field is a good one even minus many of the top players. I wasn't sure I agreed with him but then several more top players pulled out in recent days (Mi Hyun Kim and Christina Kim most prominently) and now you can safely call it WEAK. Of my soon-to-be-updated Top 30 players, only nine are in attendance. Lorena Ochoa can make any field look strong (until she wins by 10+ shots) and she is joined by Seon Hwa Lee, Stacy Prammanasudh, Jeong Jang, Angela Stanford and Hee-Won Han. The missing stars allow lots of non-exempt and conditional players to tee it up. In fact the cutoff point this week came after Amy Yang, who is the final Conditional Player (#35). All told, about 50 LPGA exempt players are bypassing the event plus several non-exempt and conditional players who didn't bother making the trip. Larry Smich tells us that so many slots were available, there was no need for a Monday qualifier. With two off-weeks surrounding the MasterCard, that doesn't say much for the allure of this tournament. For the third time, Michelle McGann is the Category A entry. Hopefully her visit with John McCain last week will inspire her to a good finish.
So while I'm only 1-for-3 in picking winners, my CYA streak is still alive (five straight!). Not to mention my three picks at HSBC finished 1-2-3. So I only had Creamer in the right position – gimme a break! I need an outright win so I'll take Lorena Ochoa to win with Angela Stanford and Stacy Prammanasudh as the CYAs.
Stats: Winners 1-3 (3-3 with CYAs), Top Tens 6-9.

Lorena Ochoa by 12 shots, no contest.
Some bloggers are saying that this tournament might be dropped from the schedule next year. What say ye H D, do you think this is a possibility.
- Hound Dog said...
Interesting question. I am expecting the tournament turnover we've seen the last couple of years to continue. The MasterCard is being skipped by a lot of contenders and I'll bet the Corona next month will be too. Both events currently have the same low-level purse ($1.3 million) with high profile sponsors. Three events in Mexico is too many, and Lorena's limited field event probably didn't replace one of these due to contractual obligations. The MasterCard was a late add to the 2008 schedule (one without ANY fanfare that I could find) but I'm not sure that means it's the least stable. If the LPGA was interested in letting the MC die, they let a perfect opportunity pass right there.
So I'm gonna say that most likely the Corona is going bye-bye. If not, one of these two will probably be moving to another location.
- Hound Dog said...
I just noticed that Ochoa's event is "Presented by Banamex and Corona". The Corona Championship is history.
- The Constructivist said...
OK, you've convinced me the field will be one of the weakest of the year. But now I'm really hoping someone beats Lorena, just to prove us all wrong (both on strength of field and invincibility of the world #1)!
- The Constructivist said...
On second thought....

A Book of Fifty-Six Pages, With Thirty Illustrations
C. Jinarajadasa
Image reproduced from page 19 of the present book
The general impression which remains in the minds of many of the public is that H. P. Blavatsky invented the Mahatmas, and that she buttressed this invention with various forms of impersonation and trickery, including among them the concocting of letters in various handwritings supposed to be written by the Adepts. When the now notorious report of the Society for Psychic Research was published in 1885, the public accepted the report as absolutely reliable, for much evidence seemed to be carefully presented. But even at the time those who were well informed knew that all the evidence had not been considered, for in many cases Mr. Richard Hodgson flatly refused to examine, as having the value of evidence, instance upon instance of facts which simply would not fit into his conception of H. P. Blavatsky as a trickster.

Situation-specific temporary installations of photography paper works, Grayscale (XI 1983, 25 x 25 cm) in US Museums, May 1983 and April 2001. The work was created while visiting museums during my first study trip to exhibitions and universities in the USA. I traveled alone and wanted to document my presence. Consequently, I mounted photo paper objects in significant places and photographed it with a Leica. New experiences, such as the existence of many empty walls, acquaintances, and an attractive "niche" followed, offering attractive locations for mostly unobserved actions. The effect of my objects in foreign places or confrontations to world-famous artworks made for an interesting experience. My objects seemed like contraband or smuggled goods which imparted themselves on and made their own tricky games with larger, nobler artworks. They could not fight back against the Mondrians, Duchamps and Dibbets. I exhibited them.
In 2004, Bielefeld linguist Anna Julia Bock found the term "Smuggles" (Smuggling art) for this kind of action. Art theory also has special terms for art which is created between artworks (for now, no examples come to mind). However, Incorporated Art, Coocoo-Art (Kuckucks-Kunst) and Arte Interposita all created terms for it.
Finally, calls of action and acquaintances developed, including those with watchmen, overseers, and the museum administrators. Here criticism was overcome. There had to be reasons to give excuses. The most effective argument was "grayscale." I portrayed it as a measuring object (exposure meter) for measuring exposure time. If I was discovered, I pointed out that neighboring works didn't suffer from any damage - they remained materially unchanged. My object was attached with double-sided tape on the museum walls and didn't leave a trace upon removal. On the last day of my stay in New York, I hung an object in the apartment of photographer and friend, F.C. Gundlach, where I allowed to stay for a few days. I left it there as a sign of my presence and as a thank you for his hospitality. Years later he told me that he found and removed it. It is now in a box of his photography collection and is registered here as number 016777 under "Structures and Materials."
The last image of the series was created in April 2001 while visiting with Alfred Stieglitz-Retrospectively at the National Gallery in Washington D.C. In the back of the museum was a blank billboard. I mounted my object onto it and photographed it. In the background, one can see the new National Gallery, from which I had first photographed the object in 1983. It returned to its place of origin eighteen years later.

When you plan to run git-http-backend (which might be a part of Zuul's setup in your CI/CD) along side with Nginx and fastcgi, ensure to put there a proper config in the location, to avoid errors like:
In one of my previous notes I wrote about firewalling web applications using NAXSI WAF. In this post I'll write small howto on getting ModSecurity module to work with Nginx webserver.
Any web application can have a security bug, which exploited, may allow the attacker to gain unauthorized access to crucial application components, and, unfortunately, lead to a leakage of a sensitive data. One of the common ways to defend the zero days is to use WAF (Web Application Firewall). In this tutorial I'll put some light on a dedicated Nginx WAF external module called NAXSI (Nginx Anti XSS & SQL Injection), the ModSecurity equivalent for Apachers, by the way...

SIRTE, Libya — More than 100 families fled the war-torn city of Sirte Monday morning as forces from Libya's new government struggled to secure a safe exodus for as many civilians as possible.
Forces who were fighting inside the city Saturday withdrew on Sunday to secure the perimeter of Sirte in preparation for Monday's evacuation. In an interview with GlobalPost Sunday evening, Ramadan Zalmore, the chairman of the military council, said they would evacuate civilians before reentering the city.
"Gaddafi forces have been holding hundreds of families hostage, refusing to let them leave the area," he said. "They have been using family homes to shoot from. We do not know which of these homes still have families inside, so it is not possible to return fire. We must get the civilians out before we make a full advance."
Families fleeing the city Monday confirmed that pro-Gaddafi forces had prevented their exit since the transitional government's forces advanced on the city.
A steady stream of civilian vehicles lined the long route from Misrata to Sirte as armed rebel trucks sped past toward the battle. Some civilian vehicles were packed with 10 or more men, women and children. Others overflowed with belongings. Roadside tankers distributed fuel to those fleeing the area as well as transitional government fighters.
At a temporary check point in Estada, 160km from Sirte, more than 50 cars waited in the desert heat. Groups of young children, oblivious to the severity of the situation, ran and played between the vehicles. Women spoke of the harsh conditions and fear they have faced in recent weeks. Checkpoint security forces searched each car thoroughly for weapons and checked IDs before allowing civilians to pass.
"Until now we have had no information, no communication, no television or radio, no Benzene, no milk for the baby," said one man traveling with his wife and two small daughters, en route to Tripoli.
The man who was fearful of being named said they had escaped the city with the help of rebel forces.
Confusion and fear were clear among the people who have remained completely cut off from outside communication for weeks. Some were unaware that Tripoli had fallen to the new government. Others had limited information regarding the security situation elsewhere in the country. Most spoke openly but were afraid to be named, seemingly wary of the new government they knew little about.
"There are still many snipers. If anyone tries to leave the city they are shooting them dead," said one 26-year-old man traveling with his extended family of 15. "They shot two people in our area yesterday. We have been trying to find a safe passage but Gaddafi loyalists have been blocking the way."
Some families were heading toward relatives in other cities. For those without shelter, temporary accommodation has been set up in a group of abandoned apartment blocks in the city of Tuwarga.
On the outskirts of Sirte, anti-Gaddafi forces fired mortars into the areas already cleared of civilians. Grad missiles and mortars were fired back steadily. Some fighters entered Sirte to secure an exit for families before retreating to the city outskirts again.
"We tried to rescue a group of around 10 to 15 families just down this way, but as soon as we moved in they began firing [mortars]," said one anti-Gaddafi fighter, Mohammed Alkot. "We couldn't get to them. They are still trapped inside."
Salah Badi, the high commander of the Western frontline, said there were still at least 20,000 families inside the city. The problem they now face is determing who of those left are aiding the Gaddafi troops.
"Gaddafi tried to give all the people, and also the women, weapons to defend Sirte. We all the time hear him speaking about this in his broadcasts," Badi said. "Now the people leaving at this time are normal, but some of the enemy may be escaping with these families."
Seven were reported injured at Misrata's Central Hospital, including one small boy from Sirte who had been hit by shrapnel from a Grad rocket as his family fled the city. The field hospital for the Eastern front was targeted at around 5:30 p.m. by heavy mortar fire from within the city. Patients had to be evacuated. Doctors said more of the injured were being brought in by ambulance, but they did not know how many.

Yet another study suggests cannabis is not the "gateway drug" that the Nancy Reagans of the world would have you believe. In fact, it may actually discourage its consumers from using "harder" drugs.
Researchers at the University of New Mexico studied 125 chronic pain patients over the course of five years; 83 of which were taking cannabis as a prescriptive pain mediator and 42 of which abstained.
The researchers found that 34 percent of the cannabis users stopped taking their medication compared to just two percent of the non-consumers.
"Our current opioid epidemic is the leading preventable form of death in the US – killing more people than car accidents and gun violence," said lead author and psychology professor Jacob Miguel Vigil.
"Therefore, the relative safety and efficacy of using cannabis in comparison to that of other scheduled medications should be taken by the health providers and legislators."
Vigil added that painkillers and street heroin kill roughly 90 people in the United States every day, while research indicates that cannabis consumption has never directly resulted in a single death.

Mumbai, Aug. 6 : There seems to be few takers for cement company stocks in the bourses despite the manufacturers posting higher profits in the June quarter this year. Analysts feel that the additional capacities, being added across the country, will exert downward pressure on cement prices.
"We believe 70 million tonnes of fresh capacity is expected to be commissioned over the next 24-30 months. The capacity addition would disturb the demand-supply equation and weaken the pricing power of cement producers," said Mr Ajit Motwani, research analyst, Emkay Share and Stock Broking Ltd. "We foresee cement stocks, in the long run, to under-perform as the bunching up of capacities would take its toll on cement prices, thereby affecting profitability of cement manufacturers," he added.
Cement companies, however, are betting on substantial increase in demand to hold prices at the current level.
Commenting on the future trend of the industry at UltraTech annual general meeting, Mr Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, said: "An addition capacity of 90 million tonnes is likely to be commissioned over the next three years and could result in a surplus scenario, thereby putting pressure on domestic prices from the middle of FY '09.
However, the demand for cement is expected to grow around 10 per cent linked to GDP growth and the Government's continued initiatives for infrastructure development augur well for the industry in the long run."
Companies have managed to overcome the high raw material cost in Q1 of FY '08 by better price realisations.
Even though ACC's operating profit for the quarter grew by 19.5 per cent to Rs 544 crore, the operating profit margins fell by 200 bps (basis points), basically because of high production cost, which increased by almost 14 per cent to Rs 2,478 per tonne.
Production cost for UltraTech increased 15.1 per cent y-o-y to Rs 2,084 per tonne as raw material cost rose by 28.6 per cent to Rs 262.80, freight cost by 11 per cent to Rs 616, and other expenditure by 26 per cent to Rs 397.
The future for cement companies seems bleak with additional capacities coming on stream.
Price realisations for the FY'08 first quarter, compared on a sequential basis, are almost flat reflecting that companies have not resorted to substantive increases.
Moreover, the prices in many States are hovering at an all-time high, leaving little scope for further revision.
ACC has completed its capacity expansion at Lakheri (in Rajasthan) by adding 0.90 million tonnes per annum to 1.50 mtpa along with a new 25 MW captive power plant. It has augmented the grinding capacity at Kymore in Madhya Pradesh to 1.70 mtpa. The company has also enhanced the grinding capacity at Tikaria in Uttar Pradesh to 2 mtpa.
Binani Cement has added 2.25 million tonnes per annum to its existing capacity of 2.75 mtpa in Udaipur, Rajasthan.

Monthly Contract
To start, we've what's probably the foremost popular option within the united kingdom immediately and it's a monthly contract.

Depending on your choice, we should always also note that some models will come for free of charge whilst others require an initial fee. For the foremost part, you'll receive the handset for free of charge because you're covering the value of it within the monthly bill so this is often one more reason why monthly contracts are so popular.
Rather than paying £500 straight up, you'll split the value without fear about 'credit' and 'topping up'. Even once you do need to pay an upfront fee, it's never normally above £50.
Allowance – As mentioned, you will receive a certain amount of texts, minutes, and data. Typically, each provider will offer different packages for every phone so you'll choose one that matches your needs.

Ultimately, the length of your contract will depend upon what proportion you're paying, what phone you've got chosen, and the way long it'll deem you to buy the phone.
Considering these factors, most phones require a two-year deal where you'll pay the set amount for subsequent 24 months. During this time, you will be stuck in the contract and any damage you will need to have repaired yourself.
With most providers, you'll also upgrade early and this is often because they might rather secure your new contract than lose your custom altogether.
Normally, an early upgrade are often achieved two months before the expiry date but you shouldn't just accept the primary offer that comes your way because you would possibly find yourself paying more than necessary – this leads us nicely onto the next step of the process.

What drives people to move to the Central Coast? Is it the slower, but active lifestyle? Is it the Mediterranean climate? Maybe it's the ease of making friends in a smaller community where one can make an impact by just getting involved? Or is it living near the beach that means living in paradise for many? So what would make one trade it away? Rick and Claire Grantham say they will miss Morro Bay, but they have decided to exchange one paradise for another — Paulsbo, Wash. "We found a little piece of Heaven," said Rick as he pulled out pictures of their new, dream home. He was particularly impressed with the mini-theater room perfect for watching movies with their grandkids. Indeed, being closer to their son, Greg, and daughter, Jennie, was the motivation for the move in January. While their current view is the Pacific Ocean, he concluded, "Our [new] view will be the Hood Canal." He pointed to a picture he caught of submarines sailing by with a Navy escort.
Recovering from a second back surgery, Claire explained since she retired in 2015 they've had wonderful times traveling in their motorhome to various places in the U.S., but this past year was tough. They lost close family members and had personal health issues. "During one of our visits with Greg, he pulled me aside and said, 'Mom, I'll always take care of you.' That's when we got serious and realized we wanted to live closer to children and grandchildren." They have another son in Oceanside, but realized they can enjoy motorhome visits south to Morro Bay, Oceanside and, of course, the occasional L.A. Rams game. In 1992, the Granthams were newlyweds when Rick accepted a senior medical tech position at the California Men's Colony., so they moved from Southern California to San Luis Obispo. Claire was hired as nursing director for a new rehabilitation unit at Sierra Vista Hospital where she ultimately would lead the hospital's "Infectious Prevention Program" for 17 years. Rick, who retired from CMC in 1995, would enjoy volunteering and community service, including one term as a City Councilman.
When they settled in Morro Bay, they didn't know a soul, but by getting involved each have made lifelong friends. And since they've done it once before, getting involved in Paulsbo's community life is part of the plan. They know their kids are excited that they are moving closer, but also know they will be busy with their own lives. Claire says the friends she'll miss are like a patchwork quilt coming from a variety of activities they have been involved in. She served on the SLO County Community Health Commission and Emergency Medical Corps, but it was a quilting class taught by Becky Rogers at The Cotton Ball that linked her with many of the friends she still enjoys today. "I will miss my friends," she said, "warm weather, and the only home we've shared as a couple. But we'll still have our water view and a mountain view of Mount Olympus."
Greg was a sophomore at Morro Bay High School when they first moved to town. He played several sports so they volunteered to work shifts at the snack bar, where they met a different set of friends. Although they actively participated together forming the Morro Bay Police Volunteers, Rick credits Claire for most of the organizing especially when former Police Chief Joe Loven retired and dubbed the Granthams as "the new leaders for the Annual Thanksgiving Community Dinner."
They've built a crew that cooks and serves the dinner — some joining them annually for the 14 years they chaired the event — with annual support from Carla Wixom. They would open their home for events like Caroling Cops and several Morro Bay Rotary functions. Rick was president of Morro Bay Rotary from 2002-03, but has remained active and intends to join a club in Washington. They also shared interests in San Luis Obispo County Veterans Outreach and Combat Services, as Rick is a Vietnam Veteran and she from her healthcare interests. Claire loved her job at Sierra Vista. It allowed her to get out into the community giving flu shots and providing information about preventable diseases. But she also became a sought-after friend, a medical advocate, for many, as issues would trigger questions and hospital visits. Rick stated his "biggest honor" was serving on the Morro Bay City Council. "I would check in every day with every department and developed great relationships," he said. He was proud the Harbor Walk and the Morro Bay Boulevard Roundabout were completed during his tenure. And not only because Washington is where his kids grew up, but Rick also recalls his first exposure to Washington was in Kingston, which is near Paulsbo. He was stationed there as a military medic. "It was a small town with only about 100 in our unit. In a way, it feels like we are moving back home." Thanks, Rick and Claire, for your military, law enforcement, government, community and career nursing services. Morro Bay will miss you, too.

Bristol-based Eli Brown teams up with Skream's Of Unsound Mind imprint to transmit the high octane sound of Got The Power EP, and we've got nu-skool tech-houser, "Tech This Out" premiering below just for you.

"The Herd" and "Got The Power" are both dynamic, bass-hefty rhythms with wild percussions showering the mix, and final track "Blow Your Whistle" is a little more grooving, with a percussive rhythm and catchy shouted sample.
This is Eli's second EP on the Skream's label, but much more energetic and punchy than the first, and will delight fans of the nu-skool tech house sound — Solardo, Patrick Topping, Max Chapman et al.
"Tech This Out", part of his killer Got The Power EP is out on 7th April 2017. Buy on Beatport here.

COMMUNITY LIVING ESSEX COUNTY, located in Ontario, Canada, believes every individual is essential to the success of the entire community. With over 725 employees supporting over 700 individuals with intellectual disabilities, we knew that our collaborative approach could help this agency support its participants.
"People were asking for a change in their living environments, and we had difficulty determining the level of support needed to assist more independent living," says project manager Shelbey Pillon. Her organization became involved with Center for Independent Futures as the agency researched tools to aid accurate skills assessments. With more than 300 identified skills and 150 lessons with resources to train skills, our Full Life Process fit the bill.
"The Full Life Process addresses a common struggle among large agencies," Shelbey says. "The process allows organizations that have many staff working with an individual to efficiently coordinate support." Because the online application is easy to access by multiple staff members, the agency team can work collaboratively with concrete information to teach and track skill progress. "Staff can monitor progress and share information so everyone knows what has been accomplished and can begin working where other team members left off."
"It is a thrill to work with our first international partner," shares Chrissy Lewis, Center for Independent Futures' Full Life Process Consultant. "Working with Shelbey's team has been so exciting. They are thinking outside the box as they work to implement the use of the Full Life Process in their organization."
Our comprehensive, person-centered approach to skills assessment, skill training, and life planning helps us build partnerships with service providers like this one. Working with our programs, Community Living Essex County is able to support people as they follow their dreams toward more independent living.

I haven't personally investigated the MIME issue in depth yet, but it seems to me that it's a mostly orthogonal issue to transitioning our menu system. Of course the MIME issue is also a lot uglier than the menu system; not only do different versions of GNU/Linux use different mime systems (I believe), multiple applications *inside* Debian have their own MIME system, like e.g. Mozilla. So really fixing this issue will require getting a bunch of upstreams to adopt the system, in contrast to fixing the menu system, where we don't necessarily need to send the changes upstream (although with the freedesktop system we can and should). > That would be the next logical step. I think the first logical step would just be to get our menu system to parse .desktop files.

Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer to occur in men. There are three types of bladder cancer, with transitional cell carcinoma accounting for over 90 percent of cases in the United States. It occurs in the inner lining of the bladder, known as the urothelium.
Risk factors for bladder cancer include:
A combination of tests determines if bladder cancer is present. These tests include:
If cancer is detected, a urologist may perform a transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) while the patient is under anesthesia. The tumor is examined and resected to determine the depth that the tumor has penetrated.
This examination allows the urologist to stage cancer so that an appropriate treatment plan can be developed. Stages range from a tumor on the superficial lining of the bladder to spreading to the local lymph nodes and/or to distant nodes or to organs, like the lungs, liver or bones.
Treatment is individualized for each patient's unique situation. Early stage bladder cancer may be cured with a combination of transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and specialized medicines (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin, mitomycin C, and interferon-alpha) introduced into the bladder via urethral catheter.
Selected patients may receive chemotherapy, radiation, and transurethral surgery so that only a portion of the bladder is removed.
If the tumor has invaded the muscle wall, more extensive surgery is required. This involves complete removal of the bladder, surrounding organs, and regional lymph nodes. Surgery might be performed minimally invasively or robotically assisted.
Bladder reconstruction may also be an option. A portion of the intestine is utilized to construct a new bladder called a neo-bladder. Some patients regain urinary function while others may have to use a small catheter.

Congratulations to John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats for their National Championship victory last night in New Orleans. It was undoubtedly the top highlight in an impressive career for Calipari that has spanned decades in the game.
For me though, my favorite John Calipari highlight isn't even really about him. John Chaney is the real star of this one (Calipari's work was behind the scenes during the game Umass and Temple had just played).
In February of 1994, UMass squeaked out a one-point win against Temple in Amherst, Mass., and on his way off the court, Calipari allegedly ripped into the three game officials. Chaney, who a week prior was reprimanded for doing the same thing after a game with West Virginia, crashed Cal's post-game press conference and went ballistic, to the point where Chaney yells, "When I see you, I'm going to kick your ass!" Chayney is then led out by Temple officials, assistant coaches and Eddie Jones. The whole thing is capped off by a smug Cal's, "Some things never cease to amaze me."
Incredibly, these two ended up becoming good friends after this episode.

Full Text The Daily News, JUly 25, 1997 19 Salt River Beach needs V.I. community's help A few weeks ago, an editorial appeared in the Virgin Islands Daily News entitled, "Salt River Pate." It stated that, "Sen. Almando (Rocky) Liburd's pitch to turn St. Croix's Salt River Beach into a 'recreation- al park' meaning restrooms, sheds, parking lot, volleyball courts, bar- becue pits is a loser all the way." This beach of Salt River Nation- al Historical PfAlc and Ecological Preserve Liburd mentioned to the media is on the west side of the park. The area is known as Colum- bus landing. The senator basically stated that there is a need for some type of bath facilities at the beach. The west Salt River beach is popu- lar among residents of St. Croix. Both west and east side of Salt River'Bay, I have given hikes to hundreds of school children. How- ever, the west side is kept nasty by some people who used the beach. Trash is thrown all over the place. Some beach goers change their clothes in the bushes. The man- grove forests are being destroyed by some people who cut, bum or use trees as sheds. To put it simply, some people just keep the place filthy. Summer after summer, our young people clean up the island's beaches including west Salt River beach. But people still trash the west Salt River beach area. Oarbage bins are placed in the area and to some people it doesn't make any differ- ence. Believe me, this is an abomi- nation to what Salt River Park rep- resents to the people of these islands and the word. You see people, Liburd has his heart in the right place to do some- thing about the west Salt River trashed beach. In 1992, Congress past a bill making Salt River a 912- acre National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve. Olasee Davis As a people, many of us often say the people of the Virgin Islands should control their own land not the federal government. With the newly establish Salt River Park, the local government of the Virgin Islands has the opportunity to make a difference in the way it manages land. It was former President Bush who signed a law that provides for a joint management team between local and federal government with a 10-member commission of planning Salt River Park. This commission has a four-year term. But since the Schneider Administration took office, it wasn't until April that the governor nominated individuals to the commission. The $3 million passed by Congress in 1992 to help the local government acquire lands around Salt River Bay is probably lost due to this government negligence. With the exception of Uburd, gov- ernment officials haven't even men- tioned doing anything to develop Salt River Park. But the senator's good intention of having bathhouse facilities at the beach is not quite appropriate for this historical site. This site is the only known ceremonial ball court in the Lesser Antilles. There are so many artifacts that can still be found above and below the surface of the ground. Some artifacts like the carved stones have been moved from the area and now in Denmark museum. I was told the ceremonial ball court artifacts would be returned to the people of these islands. Howev- er, a draft land protection plan for Salt River Park was drawn up by the commission. In the plan, it has how the park will be developed, including where bathhouses, camp- ing, picnic areas, trails, visitor museum center, historical sites and other sensitive natural areas of the park will be played out. I personally believe since the Salt River Park is a "joint manage- ment" project between the local and federal government, the park should be developed according to the wish- es of the Salt River Park Commis- sion. You see, some people do not believe me when I say Salt River Park can bring in millions of dollars to the Virgin Islands. Well devel- oped managed parks all over the world bring in millions of dollars. Michele de Cunco, a personal friend of Columbus who led 25 men to Salt River shore said, .. we came to another island of Caribe very beautiful and fertile, and we arrived at a very beautiful harbor. As soon as the Caribe saw us they ran away to the mountains..." ". . having the flagships boat ashore, when we saw the canoes coming, quickly jumped into the boat and gave chase to that canoe. While we were approaching her the Caribs began shooting at us with their bows in such manner that, had it not been for the shields, half of us would have been wounded." Just knowing where Columbus landed, not to mention other arche- ological sites at the park, Sen. Liburd, is enough to bring in mil- lions of dollars.

Okay, so it doesn't quite have the same ring as a van down by the river, but it is Friday and it's all I've got. The first day of May, the first day of the #MayWriteAway challenge, Karaoke night with the girls and beer. Oh, I do love a Friday.
We have been living in our RV for a little over two weeks now. Friends and family might be surprised to learn that I actually really like it. We now live in a new, 33 foot pull-behind and, to date, I haven't had any thoughts of running away or setting the entire thing ablaze. I know many of you have probably lost money on the betting pool. I apologize.
I am finding a lot of comfort in the simplicity of living this way. To move into this dwelling, we had to downsize, a lot. The military movers came and picked up our regular stuff and it is now sitting in storage somewhere, waiting for us to secure a house at our "forever home" location in Florida. But we still had to figure out what we would need for one Marine, one sometimes-high-maintenance-Mom who owns a company and is a professional performer, one teenager, one toddler and one dog. It was a challenge.
But I think we have succeeded. We all have what we need but not a lot of extras, and that makes life seem a whole lot less complicated. Of course, we didn't go crazy. I still have at least a dozen pairs of shoes in this camper. I am not an animal. But, thanks to some creative command hook usage, they are all stored nicely and ready to wear. Sure, the toddler has too many toys and the teenager has too many clothes, but those things are kind of par for the course, right? Still… we are learning that we really need many less possessions than we thought we a necessity before.
I am a horrible housekeeper. Just dreadful, really. But so far, I am finding that keeping up with this camper is pretty manageable. Everything has a place because it has to. Things get put away at least once a day, maybe ten times a day… depending on how crazy the toddler has been. Laundry gets done all at once at the laundry room, and it gets folded and put away immediately so as not to become decoration for said toddler. We don't have as much food around here (which I am hoping will pay off for my thighs at some point) so we end up eating what we have and not ending up with a fridge full of leftovers that will end up in the trash after I can't identify them any longer.
We are spending more time together because, well… we kind of have to. We are all watching the same TV show, because, well… we kind of have to. When I am working during the day, Emma is right here by my side doing "her work" because, well… we kind of have to.
And I like it.
Now don't get me wrong. I don't want to do this forever. I am sure that, at some point, the novelty will wear off. I would be lying if I didn't tell you I am really looking forward to my trip next week to DC where I have a hotel room all to myself.
The other night as I laid in bed I was listening to the complete silence all around me. It was peaceful. Well, until the reality of nature smacked me in the face as I listened to a pack of coyotes chase, attack and eventually kill what sounded like a wild turkey in the wooded area just behind the camper. Not exactly a soothing lullaby.
But I suppose, with the exception of the live Nat Geo episode outside the window, I am learning to love the simplicity of living in a small dwelling. I am enjoying the change of pace. I am enjoying the pleasant company of the people who are parked all around us. I am enjoying downsizing and being in a closer proximity to the people in my life who mean the most.
Who would have thought?
Many Kind Regards

"I started bike racing quite late, 30 years plus, but quickly realized that it was a sport I loved. When I found myself in Rhodes with my work I learned that the custom bike builder Cycles Fidusa was based there. On visiting their showroom and seeing all the wonderful bikes I had no idea what to choose. This was my first meeting with George Voyatzis and he immediately advised me to change my priorities about what was important when choosing a new bike "First we will fix your position on your current bike and then we will decide about a new one"".
When I first met John he was new to the sport, overweight and looking for a new bike but not sufficiently experienced to know exactly what to look for. I explained that fit and position are vital – first we have to fix these and then we will proceed with a new frame.
We first adjusted his position on his existing, generic brand bike but could not get an optimum fit. A body measurement using the BikeFitting measuring system confirmed this and we found that he could probably not get a good fit on any 'stock' frame, having relatively short legs compared to his overall height and good flexibility which meant that he needed a quite short head-tube to get low enough for a good aerodynamic position.
He chose a made-to-measure custom Chimera carbon frame and specified the actual tube shapes he wanted including a 'teardrop' aero seat tube. A unique, custom paint-job was specified to match his team colours and a bow graphic was applied to match the frame design.

Do you want to avoid discouragement and burnout?
It takes more than doing something you are passionate about to avoid becoming weary. You must also keep your purpose forefront in your thoughts.
What is your reason for writing, publishing, and marketing your book?
This is a very important question—one that should not be ignored or taken lightly. Producing a book, publishing a book, and selling a book are hard work. It takes time, dedication, and lots of effort. We can easily become discouraged when the results we want to see don't roll in.
That's where purpose comes in. Purpose keeps us grounded. When we lose sight of our purpose, we can become lost and wander.
I heard a story about a world class tennis player. This woman reached the rank of #5 in the world in women's tennis. When she reached that spot, she began to lose consistently. She started…

Ithaca College Theatre will present Shakespeare's Pericles December 4-7, with a preview performance on Tuesday December 2.
The curtain time is 8:00 p.m., with additional matinees on Saturday, December 6, and Sunday, December 7. All performances will take place in the Clark Theatre in the Dillingham Center at Ithaca College.
Although true to the Elizabethan text, the story's adventures unfold as we might follow them today on television. The audience sees the events of Pericles' life as reported by a live news crew instead of a traditional Shakespearean narrator. Set not only in the modern age but amongst a variety of cultures, Pericles searches for the reasons fate has dealt him misfortunes and loss. Director Norm Johnson subtly incorporates the theme of hope in this fairy tale for adults by naming Pericles' ship "Esperanza," or "Hope," after the Greenpeace flagship.
Norm Johnson has been a member of the department of theater arts at IC for 13 years. He is an associate professor of acting and movement in the BFA training program. Most recently he designed masks and was movement coach for David Feldshuh's production of Antigone at Cornell. Last season at IC he directed the world premiere of Kenny Berkowitz's new play November Girls. He has also been associated with the Kitchen Theatre since its inception. He served as artistic director from 1994 to 1997 and has directed over 15 productions there, including last season's critical hit, A Perfect Ganesh.
Cast members for Pericles include Eddie Cooper '04 as Pericles, Emily Torres '04 as Marina, Justin Packard '04 as Cleon, Shelley Smith '04 as Cerimon, and a supporting cast of many others in a variety of roles.
The creative team includes scenic designer Johanna Morris '04, costume designer and associate professor Greg Robbins, lighting designer Claire Mokrauer-Madden '04, sound designer Will Klotz '04, and choreographer Gaelyn Walker '04.
Tickets can be purchased at the ticket office in Dillingham, the Ticket Center located in the Clinton House (273-4497), and Cornell University's Willard Straight Hall. Prices range from $4.50 to $10.00. The Dillingham ticket office is open Monday through Friday, noon to 5:00 p.m., beginning November 17 but will be closed the week of the Thanksgiving holiday. For information call 607-274-3224.

I have been making this sandwich for quite a sometime now, i remember seeing the recipe in one of the Friday Magazine but forgot when. The stuffing can be mixed and matched according to the seasonal produce available. Recently hubby dear bought few boxes of strawberries from the market. Yes, few boxes whenever he finds something fresh, he literally hoards it. Now, this being a fruit it is fine, think about Raw banana's, sweet potatoes, huhh!!!
So, now to use up the strawberries, i made this quick sandwich for our breakfast today. With fresh homemade bread at home, this sandwich was such a delight to all our taste-buds.
2 slices of Bread, i have used Marraquetta for the sandwich
2 nos strawberries
half an apple
2 tbsp of walnuts chopped
a generous squeeze of honey or date molasses
a generous sprinkle of cinnamon
Cream cheese for garnish (optional)
- Since i have used Marraquetta, i sliced it in the middle to get two halves.
- Hull a strawberry and cut it into thin slices, arrange 3 or 4 thin slices of apple, sprinkle chopped walnuts.
- Drizzle generous honey or date molases and sprinkle little cinnamon close it with another slice.
- Toast until it turns golden brown with little butter on each side. Serve warm with few slices of fresh fruits and drizzle honey and garnish it with a blob of cream cheese
Sending this to Come join us for breakfast, and Cooking from a cookbook challenge happening @ +srivalli jetti's space A

Commodore's August Article
WE are the Austin Yacht Club. Yes, AYC has nice
facilities, but those facilities are not AYC. This Club is
not an "it" but an "us". The "WE" are you and I and
the other members around us at the Club.
WE are a volunteer run organization. The operation
starts with the nine volunteers who serve on our
Board. Then WE run sailboat races, have after-race
meals, give out awards, support youth sailing,
organize major regatta, plan fantastic parties, teach sailing, mentor new
members, monitor our clubhouse and guest cabins, oversee our marina, and
maintain our grounds. WE run this million dollar a year operation with only
three employees and a handful of contractors.
I am constantly reminded of how WE step forward without hesitation when
emergencies arise. Danny Lien did not hesitate when oak wilt was discovered
on our grounds. Thankfully he immediately took charge of a project that will
take a lot of his time. When our office needed temporary staffing, Annie
Lancaster and a load of volunteers stepped in. Members knew what needed
to be done.
Why do WE do this? I think there is something that WE feel about our Club.
It is a deep sense of responsibility and love for AYC. So think about that the
next time you are out at the lake having fun. What you are enjoying is what
WE have done and who WE are. I am very proud to be part of the Austin Yacht Club.

During his Budget speech in Lok Sabha, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today lauded the power ministry for making the rural electrification project a success and set a deadline of May 1, 2018 for "100 per cent village electrification".
The pat on the back of Power Minister Piyush Goyal came at a time when PM Narendra Modi had asked his ministry to target the electrification of around 200 villages every week by holding regular follow ups with the state implementing agencies.
"The Prime Minister has said that Ministry of Power must strive to complete electrification of 200 villages every week by following up with state implementing agencies regularly," a source said adding, that progress with regard to electrification of villages should be properly highlighted.
"For electrification of the balance villages, the power ministry must follow up with state implementing agencies to ensure timely sanctions, procurement, installations and commissioning activities," the source said.
Earlier, the ministry had decided to electrify 18,452 villages within 1,000 days.
Goyal had said that the Centre has fixed a target of electrifying 7,000 villages by March-end.

Drove Mercedes at speed
A HUNGARIAN oral surgeon who travelled at excessive speed on the motorway without car insurance was fined at the district court but escaped disqualification, as Judge Catherine Staines ruled she believed he had made a genuine mistake in assuming he was insured to drive.
Bence Kadar, with an address listed at 1st Floor, Medical Suite, Village Centre, Togher Road, was charged with dangerous driving and having no insurance, at Jamestown, M7, Ballybrittas, on January 10.
Inspector Dermot Drea gave evidence that just after midnight, the defendant was observed driving a Mercedes at excessive speed. The gardaí had to pursue at a high speed, although Kadar stopped immediately when he saw the flashing lights of the squad car.
Kadar has no previous convictions.
Defence, Mr Philip Meagher said his client, a Hungarian national who works as a paediatrics oral surgeon, had travelled from London to Dublin airport that night and had to get to Cork. He arranged transport and thought he was insured to drive.
"It was his honest belief he was covered," said Mr Meagher.
Mr Meagher went on to explain that the vehicle his client had been driving was a saloon Mercedes, a vehicle which was quite powerful but due to the winter tyres the speed was limited. He said that Kadar had driven at speed on a quiet section of the motorway.
"He should have been more aware," admitted Mr Meagher.
Judge Staines said she accepted Kadar had made a genuine misunderstanding in relation to the insurance and she imposed fines of €300 and €400.
