"In a move spearheaded by environmentalists, the Portland Public Schools board unFor example:
animously approved a resolution aimed at eliminating doubt of climate change and its causes in schools...."
"The resolution passed Tuesday evening calls for the school district to get rid of textbooks or other materials that cast doubt on whether climate change is occurring and that the activity of human beings is responsible. The resolution also directs the superintendent and staff to develop an implementation plan for 'curriculum and educational opportunities that address climate change and climate justice in all Portland Public Schools.'"
"In board testimony, Bigelow said PPS' science textbooks are littered with words like might, may and could when talking about climate change.Bigelow is right, on the example.
"'Carbon dioxide emissions from motor vehicles, power plants and other sources, may contribute to global warming,' he quotes Physical Science published by Pearson as saying. 'This is a section that could be written by the Exxon public relations group and it's being taught in Portland schools.'"

Yes, now there's one little thing that made me to say this. I've been frequenting the Apple store a lot lately. A whole friggin lot, actually, and right now I just noticed a difference. It used to be setup like this- [Shameless ad] [eMac/iMac][PowerMac/Display] [iBook][PowerBook] Now it's- [Shameless ad] [iBook][PowerBook] [eMac/iMac][PowerMac/Display] For those of you who are nearing the buzzed state like I am, that shows the portables are placed above the desktop machines. Apple might want to do a quick redesign of the store, so they quietly switched the photos right now, and tomorrow the beasts will be unleashed. It's a small change, and probably won't be picked up by a lot of people, but hey, discuss it to your hearts content. It makes sense to me at least... So, when do you guys think we'll see stuff?

ANNAPOLIS — Maryland's property tax will hold steady for now, but Comptroller Peter Franchot is warning about rising debt-service obligations in upcoming years.
The state Board of Public Works on Wednesday held the state property tax to 11.2 cents per $100 of assessed property value.
But Franchot noted that debt-service obligations will increase in the next several years to $1.4 billion. He said it's important the state keep that in mind.
Treasurer Nancy Kopp said Maryland has long been recognized for having a prudent system to borrow money for infrastructure at the lowest interest rates.
She also noted that former Gov. Robert Ehrlich set the rate at 13 cents for number of years. She said the board may need to seriously think about going back to that in future years.

The women were confused.
Every time the Cru's women's ministry held a large evangelistic luncheon, about 200 women would indicate that they had received Christ.
However, only a few returned to learn more.
So May Lee, the director, changed their strategy. She determined to have each small group Bible study host its own small outreaches.
One Bible study member, Meng-Chun Chen, had accepted Christ through Cru in Taiwan 9 years ago. "Her life was totally changed, and she is one of the key leaders in the movement," says May.
Meng-Chun leads 2 Bible study groups, and the women involved in her group are also leading groups. Each Bible study began hosting small outreaches for friends or neighbors.
Now, all the women from 40 different small groups, including Meng-Chun's, gather twice a year. Rather than it being an evangelistic event, they delight in the large number of women.
Lee Shiao-Wen trusted God to bring her unfaithful husband back.
Christians in Taiwan use drama to start spiritual conversations.

I got a new pad of October Afternoon paper for Christmas, so dragged out all of my OA pads to make my card. I love this paper (thanks, Patience, for getting it for me). So fun and vintage. One of my bloggy friends said that the cards remind her of Dick and Jane books. So true! I wish I could find one of those old books at a yard sale! (If you are too young to remember Dick and Jane...well...just grow up! hee hee) I think I used paper from Modern Homemaker, Report Card, and Road Map for my card. Love combining my papers. Those tiny buttons were lurking in the bottom of one of my bins...how cute are they?!
I am not sure where that gingham ribbon came from, but I suspect it came in an Apron Strings kit.
The stamp on the inside of the card is from a Gina K set that Cindy (CPC Grand Poobah) sent me for Christmas!
Check back tomorrow for another project. I've got a lot going on right now, and soon I'll be able to tell you all about some of what's brewing!

Me: Yes I am. I have started Lucian's story but I have to finish the second book of my Alpha Mates series first.
Somewhere in everyone blog posts there is a code word. Visit each blog and find the code word for extra chances at the Grand Prize.
Do you ever sleep??? Sheesh and I thought I was busy!!
Chris NoOnw
I do sleep. I actually set this post to autopost at 1201am, woke up just before 1am and HAD to check it. Guess what?? It didn't post. I panicked. Why I don't know. I'm sure no one was waiting up just to read my post but I had to fix it, of course. Now I'm checking every other authors post while I sit at camp (with my mifi) cooking breakfast for the kids. I THINK I'm on vacation but I'm not sure. Thanks for checking out the hop.Delete
Wow these sound interesting....how many will there be to the series or do you know yetReplyDelete
Right now I see at least five but as I add more secondary characters they all decide they want their own books so there will probably be more than that.
Thanks for joining the hop.
Do you see yourself cutting back the hours you work as an EMT?ReplyDelete
Actually me real EDJ is a 911 dispatcher. The EMT is at a volunteer organization.
Seeing that I have four kids to put through college I will have to work full time until I can make as much writing or I hit my 25 year retirement mark. I'm actually thinking of working another job but I'm not sure if that will work unless I figure out a way to put more hours in the day.
I would LOVE to be able to quit the EDJ and just write all day but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Thank you for joining us.
Adrian, what do you think of the various GOODNIGHT MOON parodies (GOODNIGHT iPAD and so forth)?
Adrian: I prefer the original paper book. Unfortunately if I try to use the iPad to read to any of the kids they decide it will be more fun to play Angry Birds or Candy Crush Saga instead of reading and I NEVER get them to go to bed. Then Anstice comes in and I get in trouble (I REALLY don't like being in trouble with her).
Thanks for joining the hop.
Kasey, you've got some fantastic book covers! Thanks for including my blog on the Rafflecopter!ReplyDelete
Thanks for joining me Gemma. I hope you had fun in your interview and reading all the other authors posts.Delete
Kasey, I loved learning a bit more about you :-)ReplyDelete
Thank Doris. I loved getting to know the other authors too. I hope you are having fun.Delete
Thanks for hosting this blog hop. It was great fun to put together my post and it's great to know so many other authors! :)ReplyDelete
Thanks Jessica I'm glad everyone is having fun.Delete
Kasey: What other genres do you write or would like to write??
caiidynsmommie at gmail dot com
Chynarey, I only write erotica. So far I have the two vampire books and a shifter book published. I am working on more from both series' as well as a BDSM stand alone book and a BDSM series.
I think I'll stick with erotica but vary the types between paranormal and BDSM. They will definitely ALL be menage though.
Thanks for joining us.
What is your favorite food???ReplyDelete
Nikki, Mine is pizza. I could probable eat pizza every day of the week and not get sick of it. Which is a good thing because it's my daughter's favorite too. That's all she ever says when I ask her what she wants to eat.
Adrian: Mine is is burritos.
Me: Yeah right, I would say his favorite is anything edible. You should see that boy eat. OMG!! I'm glad I don't have to cook for him every night. Or buy groceries for that household. With so many adult, muscular, hot, sexy, droolworthy, lickable....
Adrian: Pay attention woman!! We're talking about favorite foods here not which one of you would jump if given the chance.
Me: *blushes* Hmmm Jump one of you...Is that an option?
Adrian: *smirks* Only the ones of us that aren't mated.
Me: *pouts* Damn you vampire, you're ALL mated in that house.
Sorry Nikki we got off on a little tangent there. Pizza and Burritos. That's the answer to your question. Now I'm going to go create a new character that isn't mated to drool over.
Have you written a book you love that you have not been able to get published?ReplyDelete
Nikki, No I have only finished the three so far. I have been very lucky. Siren Publishing has accepted all of them for publication. I am working on many more and hope that Siren will be willing to publish them also.Delete
If you could be a character in any author's book, which book would it be, who is the character, and why? firstname.lastname@example.com
That's a tough one. I was actually not much of a reader until a few years ago and I only read romance/erotica now so there are so many characters I would love to be.
If I had to pick just one it would probably be Nevvie Barton from Tymber Dalton's Love Slave for Two series. While she has been through so much in her life and suffered, she has not one but two men that made her love her and would do anything for her. To have that kind of love would be everything.
Questions for Adrian... why is Goodnight Moon your favourite book (very sweet by the way) :)
Dee (email@example.com)
Adrian: I don't really have a lot of spare time to read and while of course HAD to read Kasey's books (to make sure she told our story right) I don't really read.
The only time I make time is when it's bedtime. Kassie and I go into Kairos and Kyrie's room and read to them. Even though she's growing up and says she too old for bedtime stories now she still goes with me and sometimes she reads the story to them. It was the first book she learned to read all by herself and it will always be special to me.
I think we have about ten copies of it around the house somewhere. The twins are even trying to read pages from it.
My question is for ALL the authors! What would you be doing if you weren't writing to keep your creative mind/voices quiet?
books4me67 at ymail dot com
Great question, books4me67! I'd be playing my cello more often. :)Delete
I can't imagine not being able to write. I'm surely not an artist, can play and instrument, and while I know all the words to a lot of songs, if I had to sing for my paycheck my family would be homeless in a week.
So if I couldn't write my brain would be filled with so many voices I may not be able to concentrate. I would probably have very vivid dreams each night. And I might even end up in a padded room, just me and my voices to keep me company.
Thank you for joining us and for you question. I forwarded it to the rest of the authors.
This is a great question! For me, I love being on stage, so I would absolutely be more active in my local theatre community. I haven't had time to participate in it for the last couple of years, but I miss it! Thank you for visiting the blog hop!~Lori KingDelete
Wow, hard question. If I couldn't write, I would probably drive myself insane listening to all the conversations in my head. Eventually I would begin participating on various topics until they locked me up with Kasey ;)
Unfortunately my other talents lie with accounting, and that profession doesn't allow any room for being creative. I, for one, will always be grateful for my pen and notebook.
Thanks for asking!
I'd knit more...which means that writing saves me money because I don't yarn shop as much. lol Aside from that, I'd probably work towards my Master of Wine certification. It's takes a few years and a lot of exams.Delete
I would learn to draw and paint. I often think that writing a book is like painting a picture, layering on different elements such as backgrounds, light and shadow, people...doing so could easily tell a story moment frozen in time.Delete
Oh boy. Good question. I'd probably spend a lot of time lost in my own head, daydreaming. I like crafting, quilting, etc., but even while doing those kinds of things, my head is often somewhere else. I can't control it. I'd spend a lot more time reading and visiting other authors' worlds. It's the one thing I miss now that I'm spending so much time putting my daydreams into words.Delete
I can't even imagine not writing - I've been doing it since before Kindergarten. I wrote my first story in crayon on the walls of my bedroom because my parents wouldn't buy me paper and pencil. Writing is my passion - it's my heart and it's in my blood. The only other thing that even comes close is photography.Delete
when I need to do something without stressing my brain too much I do a lot of cooking and D.I.Y. stuff around the house. If I were unable to write for an extended period of time I would go stir crazy pretty quickly! a lot of the members of my family have been creative types. My mother is musical and draws and paints, my grandfather was an artist, and his mother was an actress and singer (stage and film, back in the 20's and 30's). I would probably attempt to follow in her footsteps if my writing was no longer an option.
Apologies for the 'anonymous' response, for some reason the site will not allow me to post under my own name.
Violet Joicey-Cowen
Which do you prefer sweet or salty??ReplyDelete
First of all I'll have you know that my mind went straight to the gutter on this question.
Adrian: *rolls eyes and swats Kasey on the back of the head* Woman do you ever think of anything but sex?
Me: Nope, but think of it this way. If my mind wasn't constantly thinking about all the positions and combination of people having sex you never would have found your mates.
Adrian: I guess you're right go ahead and answer the question. But Michelle, I'll warn you she can pervert ANYTHING!!
Me: *feigns insult* Vampire, I have NO idea what you're talking about. Michelle, I prefer SWEET. Especially chocolate. Of course if melted chocolate is involve on a certain persons body, the idea of a sweet AND salty treat is orga...
Adrian: *covers Kasey's mouth* HUMAN! Control yourself. My apologies Michelle. Her answer is sweet and lets leave it at that shall we.
Thank you for joining the blog hop.
This series sounds terrific! Who are some of your favorite writers?
My favorites writers are Tymber Dalton, Lynn Hagan, Alex Carreras, Kallypso Masters, Cherise Sinclair and JR Ward. There are many more that it is way to early in the morning to think about right now.
Yes I know ALL romance/erotica authors. I just can't help myself.
Thank you for joining us.
My question is for Adrian. What's your favorite thing about both Nikkos and Anstice?
Thanks for sharing, Kasey!
caroaz [at] ymail [dot] com
My favorite thing about Anstice is her ability to overcome anything. She has been through hell in her life and still had to ability to love not only one person but both Nikkos AND myself.
Nikkos is a strong warrior and leader of our people (even though he doesn't see it that way) but behind closed doors and when spending time with his family the walls come down and he's just Nikkos, husband, father, brother, and friend. Having the power he does has not gone to his head.
Thank you.
My question for both you and Adrian, What type of music do you like to listen to? Do you have a playlist for your books Kacey?
Rafflecopter Name Dawna Newman
Adrian: I'm more into metal, punk and hard rock. There is an awesome band from Northern New York called Blind Idiots that I just saw recently and they were amazing. If you want to check them out here is their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/BlindIdiots.
Kasey: I like just about everything. I saw a post once that said "My music collection goes from 'Oh my god you have to listen to this' to 'please don't judge me'. That pretty much sums it up. I don't really have a set playlist for writing. I just always have something playing while I write. It blocks out all the background and allow the voices in my head to be heard loud and clear.
I was the Emergency Communication Supervisor at the Fire Department on an Air Force Base for three years. I definitely "feel" your hectic job as a 911 dispatcher! I will say we had way more "in flight emergencies" than true 911 calls, but wow...I had no idea until I became a dispatcher and then the supervisor! Can't wait for more of your books! :)ReplyDelete
Thank you Tammy, I'm glad you joined the hop. I hope you had fun meeting and getting to know all the authors and characters.Delete
Do you think you will stop working and just write if not why?ReplyDelete
I would love to quit my job and just write but right now that's not a possibility. While my job is hectic, I do love what I do and the money is great. With four kids to put through college there is no way that I could quit right now. In a few years when I have many more books published it might be a plan but for now unfortunately it isn't in the cards.
Thanks for joining the hop.
Where would you love to go for a writer's retreat?
smurfettev AT gmail DOT com
Hmmm that's a good question. There is a cabin called Hemlock Bluff Cabin ( http://www.hemlockbluff.com/ ) that was my inspiration for the log cabin that my shifters from my Alpha Mates series live in. While my shifters live in Montana the REAL cabin is in Tennessee.
It is one of my dreams to go there and just relax and write for about a week.
Thank you for joining in on the fun.
Kasey, we can see that you are extremely busy, when and how do you write?
To be more specific, do you have a set time that is just for writing or do write as the idea/storyline drives you?
Are you a structured writer....do you outline, start at the beginning of a story or work from an ending?
I try to write everyday but sometimes it just isn't possible. After working 12 hour days I usually have to come home and get dinner, kids ready for bed, and things ready for the next day.
I usually write when they kids are either sleeping or in school. Summers are hard for me when they are home because I get in my 'space' but they won't let me be alone for too long. Thankfully school starts again here next week so I will have plenty of time to write (I hope).
Not very much structure here. If an idea come to me and I don't have time to write I will enter it into my OneNote app on my phone or iPad so it's there later when I have time. Some of my stories I know how they are going to end but sometimes they completely derail and go in an opposite directions. I just let the stories tell me how they are supposed to be written. It seems to have worked for me so far. We'll see what the future holds.
Thank you. I hope you had fun on the hop.

Koa & Spruce Carroll Benoit Resophonic.
$1,900 + shipping. Full info + photos here: http://www.volkmedia.com/Volkmedia.com/Benoit/Pages/Last_Import.html
Beautiful flamed figured Hawaiian koa back & sides, Englemann spruce top, Quaterman cone, gloss ebony fretboard with mother-of-pearl frets + position dots; curly koa binding with complex purfling inlay; Waverly tuners. This is a visually striking and gorgeous sounding Dobro/Resophonic guitar. I am only selling it because I need to fund another purchase.
We had a long dry winter here in Massachusetts which resulted in two hairline cracks in the top and two along the grain in the rear. I took the guitar to well-known local repairman Bob Stublebine in Cambridge, MA who advised that these cracks were not at all serious and I could leave the guitar as is if desired. I told him I wanted to sell the guitar and, if I were the buyer, would want to know these cracks were stabile. So I paid to have him glue and cleat the top cracks and glue the rear. They are all completely repaired, totally stabile and practically invisible. The guitar sounds as great as ever. This is a $3,000+ guitar new from the builder but because of the repairs outlined above, I am selling it for $1,900. This is your opportunity to own an exceptional custom-made resophonic at a very reasonable cost. If you have any questions about the repairs, call Bob Stublebine: 617-431-1433

Yawn anyone???
why do we yawn?
The yawn, the yawn is a strange and wonderful mystery. Everyone yawn's, kids, babies most mammals and even some reptiles. We humans even begin yawning in our mama's womb, around 11 weeks we can yawn. Yawing is contagious as most of us know, we yawn when we are bored or tired, but the question is, why do we yawn? And, what the heck is a yawn????? Their has been more theories about yawning then actual research, so nobody really knows why we yawn but lets look at some of the theories anyway.
Some research has shown that a part of the brain called the hypothalamus has an important part of our yawning. It has been shown that some neurotransmitters, like dopamine, excitatory amino acids, nitric oxide and neuropathies increase yawning if injected into the hypothalamus of animal. So what does this mean, who knows but it's interesting....Anyway most people assume that we yawn because our bodies are trying to rid its self of extra carbon dioxide and to take in more oxygen. According to this theory people yawn when there are bored or tired because they breathe more slowly. When your breath slows down less oxygen makes it to the lungs, as carbon dioxide builds up in the blood a message to the brain signal you to take a deep breath and a yawn is produced.
However, with this theory some research has actually disproved it; In 1987 some researchers testes this theory that high carbon dioxide causes yawning. Normally the air we breath is made up of about 20%oxygen, about 80% nitrogen and about .03% of carbon dioxide and a few other gases in very low concentrations. In the test performed by the researchers they gave college students different ratio of gases. The results we surprising, none of the changes caused more or less yawning.
Other tests done by researchers include testing through exercise; exercise obviously causes people to breath faster. However the number of yawns during the exercise was not different from the number of yawns before or after the exercise, their for it appears that yawning may not be due to the carbon dioxide levels in the blood and that yawning and breathing are controlled by different mechanisms.
So we are still wondering why we yawn, well other theories suggest that yawning is just as stretching, it increases the blood pressure and heart rate, and also flexes muscles and joints. Evidence that yawning and stretching may be related comes from the observations( that you ca try at Home) of people trying to prevent a yawn by clenching your jaws shut, the yawn is somehow unsatisfied, so basically the stretching of the jaw and face are necessary for a good yawn.
The theory about why yawns are contagious goes back to the beginning of man. some think and I agree that yawning could be contagious because of the behaviours of early mammals, one member of a group yawned to signal an event, and so all the mammals would also yawn. Over time and evolution it has evolved to just a natural part of the day, he yawns, you yawns and so on.
So now you know a little more about yawning, or maybe a little less...Ha, ha.... my final question is... How many times did you yawn during this article??? I bet it was at least once, because even reading about yawning can make us yawn....how strange is that. So hey if you got to....YAWN, it must be good for us...or we wouldn't do it so much....I yawned eight times while writing this article....
How many times did you yawn while reading this article?

Gossip Girl Season Three Premiere: Five Sneak Previews!Steve Marsi at . Comments
Below are five sneak previews of the Season 3 premiere of Gossip Girl.
They're pretty sweet. In "Reversals of Fortune," we learn that:
- Serena has been parading around Europe, carrying on tabloid romances while Dan, Eric and Jenny read about it in celebrity gossip magazines at home

Testing. Can you tell me whether or not the word verification thingy is off now?
Would one of you kindly let me know if I have succeeded in turning it off?
Thank you so much.
Blogging used to be a really fun pastime but it is getting less and less enjoyable with all the changes they're making. I wish they would just leave things alone!
Hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

Umi eMax Mini is a Snapdragon Powered Phone for $149.99
by Oct 13, 2015 12:03 am2
Umi is one of the Chinese manufacturers, which is definitely working hard to stay in the game. They have made some great looking devices with decent specs but as our reviews showed, they had quite a few disadvantages.
The manufacturer has just released the eMax mini – a smaller brother of the eMax and you may want to check out the introduction video below.
The key specs of the Umi eMax include a 5″ 1080P display, which makes the device very compact according to the today's standards. Also, it uses an octa-core Snapdragon 615 chip and it is coupled with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage.
As far as the optics go, Umi eMax has a 13MP/8MP combo on the back and the front, respectively.
All of these specs are powered by a hefty 3050mAh battery and Android 5.1 is running the show.
All in all, the Umi eMax mini seems like a decent offering considering the specs and price of $149.99 ratio. However, we will be able to give you our opinions only after a full review of this device in the future.

Update: Adams charged with felony
BRIDGEPORT TOWNSHIP, MI — Police in Bridgeport Township arrested a man at a township board meeting after he exceeded a three-minute time limit during public comments.
A township official said it's not the first time police escorted the man out of a meeting for a similar reason. The man, identified as Mark A. Adams, could not be reached for comment and has not been formally charged with any crime.
The arrest, caught on video by a spectator, happened during Bridgeport Township's Tuesday, March 4, regular board meeting. An attendee recorded video as Adams was led out by three Bridgeport Township police officers.
Bridgeport Township Manager Rose Licht said Adams addressed the township board and went longer than the three minutes allotted for public comment, then refused to stop when asked, leading to the arrest.Saginaw attorney Tom Frank confirmed Adams is his client and he was released from jail pending further investigation. Frank made no further comment. Bridgeport Township is in Saginaw County.
Licht said Adams was escorted out two other times in the past but was not arrested. Tuesday night was different.
"He was asked to wrap it up by the township supervisor and he refused and continued to talk over him," Licht said. "Several times the supervisor asked him to take a seat and he refused and the police department asked him to have a seat and took him out of the building."
The issues between Adams and the township have been going on for several years, Licht said, regarding vacant land he owns in Bridgeport Township and compliance with township ordinances.
"It's a long-time dispute," she said, adding, "If he would have wrapped it up, he would have been fine."
In the video, Adams said he has experienced three years of harassment from the township and began listing several different issues during the meeting.
"You came for my barbecue grill, you came for my bird feeder," he said.
He talks about several other issues between him and the township before the supervisor tells him his time is up.
Adams can be seen in the video saying he requested 15 minutes for public comment and said he was on the second item on a 15-point list when he was asked to stop and escorted out.
"I have a right to address my grievances here," he said shortly before the arrest.
Officers tell him not to resist as they escort him out of the room while he continues to speak. The video does not show Adams being handcuffed.
His name appears on the Saginaw County arrest log and a booking photo was taken, but he had not been arraigned in court as of Friday, March 7.Responding to an inquiry about the incident by email, Bridgeport Township Police Chief Dave Duffett said, "I have forwarded a report regarding the incident to the Prosecutor's Office for their review. I have been advised by the Prosecutor's Office to make no further comment, other than they are reviewing the report."

Phase II Study of Sunitinib (SU11248) in Patients With Kaposi's Sarcoma in East Africa
I. Determine the clinical response of sunitinib malate in patients with Kaposi sarcoma (KS)
in Uganda and Kenya.
II. Compare clinical response rates in endemic versus epidemic (AIDS) KS. III. Determine the
safety and tolerability of sunitinib malate in patients with endemic or epidemic (AIDS) KS.
I Monitor the impact of sunitinib malate on underlying HIV-1 and Kaposi sarcoma-associated
herpesvirus (KSHV) viral infection (HIV-1 plasma RNA and KSHV cell-associated DNA).
II. Evaluate morphological changes in KS lesions after treatment. III. Determine the
pharmacokinetic profile of sunitinib malate in patients with KS.
IV Evaluate KSHV gene expression in endemic and epidemic KS lesions in patients in Uganda
and Kenya.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to HIV-serostatus
(endemic [HIV-seronegative] vs epidemic [HIV-seropositive/AIDS] kaposi sarcoma).
Patients receive oral sunitinib malate 50 mg once daily for 4 weeks. Treatment repeats every
6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients undergo tumor tissue and blood sample collection periodically for correlative and
pharmacokinetic studies. Samples are analyzed for CD4 lymphocyte counts, HIV-1 plasma RNA
levels, KSHV specific antibodies, expression pattern of KSHV in vitro and in vivo,
expression of latently versus lytically expressed genes in tumor tissue, and plasma
concentrations of sunitinib malate and its active metabolite, SU12662.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 6 weeks.
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Response rate
The true response rate will be estimated based on the number of responses using a binomial distribution. The confidence intervals for them can be estimated using same distribution. Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test will be used to examine the difference of response rate between the two cohorts and log-rank test for the difference of survival outcomes.

St. Vincent – 4 out of 5
Okay…even though I watched the trailer and said, "Yes, I would like to watch that," the reality is I didn't need to see the trailer at all. All I had to be told was that it was a drama/comedy that starred Bill Murray and Melissa McCarthy and before the imaginary person who was telling me this finished pronouncing the "Y" in "McCarthy" I would have punched them in the face, apologized for reacting that way and explain that I'm sold and they don't need to say more…then I would fly away while rainbows shot out of the bottom of my feet (shut up, this is my fake scenario here).
|Is it possible to hate Bill Murray? No, why would you ask such a ridiculous question?
Vincent (Murray) is a grumpy old man. He drinks, he swears, he smokes, he gambles and he pays for sexual services from a pregnant Russian stripper named Daka (Naomi Watts). One day, a woman named Maggie (McCarthy) and her son Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher) move in next door. Maggie is a hard working mother going through a divorce from her husband and can't always be there to watch her son while she is slaving away to make ends meet. By chance, Vincent ends up becoming Oliver's babysitter and he, for better or worse, bonds with the kid and ends up teaching him some of the more seedy ways of the world. However, remember when I said "for better or worse," well…that worse part shows up in the form of Vincent's gambling addiction and his wearing health and it threatens the friendship between Oliver and Vincent.
|Drinking, smoking and learning to fight...every boy's youth.
Movies that involve the creepy weirdo in the neighborhood that turns out to be the world-weary and street-smart teacher is nothing new in the world of entertainment. However, when Bill Murray is that creepy weirdo, you're on to something…something amazing! St. Vincent is jam packed with humor, heart and terrific performances. It was a film I really wanted to see but was unprepared for just how amazing it was.
|Fun Fact: Bill Murray also played his character's cat. The guy is just that versatile.
First off, I'm a fan of both Melissa McCarthy and Bill Murray and pretty much expected greatness from both of them…and I got that! Both performers were able to master being both emotional and funny at the same time. McCarthy is a lot more subdued than the usual spotlight-stealing, larger-than-life presence we often get from her and it really showcased that this woman is terrifyingly talented. Murray, on the other hand, we already knew the guy had god-like powers when it comes to acting but, like much of his work, he continues to surprise and really made his character vile but humorous and heartwarming at the same time.
|McCarthy, forced now to keep an eye for butthurt Ghostbusters fans.
One member of the cast I was very surprised and extremely pleased with was Jaeden Lieberher as Oliver. Kid actors are always a gamble because if they don't just have the natural acting gene chances are they aren't that good. Lieberher, on the other hand (who only had one previous acting credit before this), proves he is extremely talented and was able to not only assist in making Oliver an emotional character that was easy to relate to and sympathize with but was a very funny one. Lieberher was able to hold his own with the likes of Murray and McCarthy and proved he knew how to exactly make scenes funny and knew all the right notes to hit.
|Hey Marvel Studios and Sony, I know you're looking for a new Spider-Man and this kid
can act and be funny...sure, he's young but you can fix that in post, right?
The only thing I didn't care about in the cast was Naomi Watts. While I didn't find her performance bad, I just didn't dig her character or felt it brought much to the story. Aside from the fact that Watts is spitting out a very cartoonish Russian accent, I really didn't see much in the character of Daka that really helped the journey of Oliver and Vincent beyond her being the love interest that pushes Vince's stubborn ass. That being said, I still didn't find her character to be that annoying or entertaining killing. In the end, maybe a little more development for her and her relationship to Vincent might have helped but, as it is, it's just a minor complaint that doesn't impact the score and exists fine as it is.
|"I have to go and catch Moose and Squirrel."
The story for this one is pretty amazing as it is capable of being really, ridiculously funny but "sobbing so hard your tear ducts just ruptured" dramatic. The path that Oliver and Vincent take result in hysterical scenes that involve Vincent teaching Oliver to fight and how to gamble but the lessons Vincent showed to Oliver and the honor he shows on him at the end of the film made me cry like a child that just lost its balloon. The downturn in health that Vincent takes in the story only made the dramatic sections of the film that harder hitting and really created a dramedy that hits you with both the highest highs and lowest lows.
|Also Chris O'Dowd is in the film and that wins it points automatically.
This element, however, can work against the film as it might come off as too sappy on occasions. For example, while I liked how Vincent's bad turn in health helped his character and helped solidify his relationships with Maggie, Oliver, and Daka, it did come off a tad superfluous and unnecessary when you factor in how much is really going on in the story—sometimes, there's just too much going on. In the story, Vincent has a gambling problem and has a lot of debts out there that a loan shark (played by Terrence Howard) wants him to make good on. While this leads to defining character attributes of Vincent, it ultimately has no real solution and it shows that this film might have had too many things going on.
|The most forgiving loan shark in the world.
Even with its very minor issues, St. Vincent is one hell of a movie. With its top shelf drama, hysterical comedy, and absolutely fantastic performances, the film is second-to-none and a great example of a dramedy.

News & Interviews for Riverdale: Season 1
Critic Reviews for Riverdale: Season 1
All Critics (61) | Top Critics (29) | Fresh (52) | Rotten (9)
Riverdale, an enjoyable and moody teen series for adults who love teen series, a group of which I consider myself a member, is a fascinating splash in the ongoing remake deluge.
Riverdale can be overwrought at times and even too transparently politically correct at others. But it's also crisply entertaining and particularly well-cast with respect to the pivotal roles.
[It's] a lot of fun, but what I like most so far is that Betty's much more than a ponytail, Veronica's not nearly as spoiled as I remember, and together they're navigating friendship and romantic rivalry in what I'd like to think are 21st century ways.
Well done, but formulaic. Nevertheless, a long run seems assured.
The abundance of intrigue and the generally likeable, layered characters make it worth checking out.
There are so many interesting storylines in the first season. The plot keeps getting wilder and more bizarre throughout the season. People will be surprised once they see where it's all heading.
Audience Reviews for Riverdale: Season 1

The old Archie comic book characters have been morphed into millennials in this mega-melodramatic TV series. It's one of TV's finer guilty pleasures.

As often as Facebook likes to push video ads, they've been relatively easy to ignore. The sound is usually off until you click, so you can scroll by to whatever you really meant to look at. However, it might be tough to completely gloss over them in the near future -- Facebook is rolling out a tool that automatically captions video ads. Whether or not they appear is up to the advertiser, but the hope is that you'll stop (if ever so briefly) to read what a promo is saying instead of skipping to the next post.
If you're cringing at the thought, you can at least take consolation in knowing that these captions won't arrive in earnest for a while. The tool is reaching marketers over the course of the weeks ahead, and only in US English for now. You'll be safe for a while, folks. As it stands, captions might have an upside (other than allowing the hearing impaired to access what's going on, if they choose): they could reduce the temptation for advertisers to use more distracting custom text in a desperate bid to catch your eye.

This week, another solo marimba sketch emerged. (See previous installments here.) It's time to start stitching these segments together.
Of course, if you see some possibilities here, don't wait for me to flesh out this sketch. As with all the Diabelli Project posts, you're welcome to use this in your own work. Just be sure to share the results!

My wife has little or no interest in reading books about the Bible, religion, or anything about Jehovah's Witnesses.

I am currently writing a sequel, The Ghosts from Mama's Club. It's an autobiography of my forty-seven years of life after leaving the Club. The "ghosts" in the book are dysfunctional behavior patterns, toxic residue acquired from the time my family and I spent as Jehovah's Witnesses.

|Only the Truth sets free (John 8:32)
The general and generic advice is: Depart and be separate from the pagans' celebrations of their idols.
In simple Bible words: Do not conform to the world or its way. Be transformed by the renewal of your mind. Do not love the world or the love of the Father is not in you. Abide in Jesus and let the Word of God abide in us. Be joined to the Lord and one Spirit with the Lord. Be led by the Spirit as sons of God are led by the Spirit. Know the truth. Only the Truth sets people free.
John 8:31-32 New International Version (NIV)
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
1 Corinthians 10:14-22 New International Version (NIV)
Idol Feasts and the Lord's Supper14 Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. 15 I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf.
18 Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar? 19 Do I mean then that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons. 22 Are we trying to arouse the Lord's jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 New International Version (NIV)
Warning Against Idolatry14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[a]? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
"I will live with them
and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they will be my people."[b]
and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they will be my people."[b]
17 Therefore,
"Come out from them
and be separate,
says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you."[c]
and be separate,
says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you."[c]
18 And,
"I will be a Father to you,
and you will be my sons and daughters,
says the Lord Almighty."[d]
and you will be my sons and daughters,
says the Lord Almighty."[d]

The real birthday of the King
Jesus was not born on December 25. I recommend that we all read the Bible and pray that the Lord gives us discernment and understanding. We must teach our children the truth. This following article gives a good Biblical calculation by a Messianic Jew on the actual date which should be in September-October during the Jewish Feast of the Tabernacle. The first day of this feast falls on September 28th this year.

Mercury is not the only toxic substance that could be in your delicious tuna steak. Mind you, on that issue, yellow-fin tuna is fairly high in mercury, but likely to have lower levels than some other kinds such as Bigeye Tuna, and far less than fish such as Tilefish, King Mackerel, Shark and Swordfish.
Unfortunately, there is also another risk with tuna that we should keep in mind. Sometimes tuna (as well as mahimahi, bluefish, mackerel and some other fish) can sometimes have high levels of histamine protein. This can lead to scromboid poisoning in people who are sensitive. A glass of wine with your dinner could accentuate the effect.
Histamine is not a natural fish toxin. It occurs when certain fish spoil as a result of bad storage and handling. Usually, you cannot tell by the smell or appearance of the fish. In fact, there has been a recall of tuna by Rouses Markets in the Louisiana area for that reason (the fish came from the Gulf of Mexico). Last year, Whole Foods also had to recall its frozen yellow-fin tuna last April, because of elevated histamine levels (see earlier alert). These are just two examples. It's not all that uncommon. By the way, cooking or freezing the fish will not destroy the histamine.
In the case of some kinds of food poisoning symptoms will take days to develop. But scromboid poisoning is often very fast - 2 minutes to 2 hrs. Symptoms can last up to 24 hrs. If you are ever eating tuna (or one of these other fish) and get sudden flushing, sweating, headache, diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting,a rash like sunburn, and an odd metallic or peppery taste in your mouth, get help right away. But many doctors are not familiar with the symptoms.
Scromboid poisoning is usually not fatal - just very frightening and unpleasant. However, if you are taking certain medicines that slow down breakdown of histamine by the liver, you need to be especially careful.

Aren't tuna being overfished? If so, this is another reason not to eat them.

ate a fish dinner in florida several years and was throwing up like crazy about 1 hour after leaving restaurant. probably was scromboid. trouble is the fish tasted great.

Plugged Up: When an airplane takes a weather beating
It may sound obvious, but if your airplane is stored outdoors and has been exposed to adverse or severe weather, extra attention should be given during preflight.
On January 29, 2000, a Cessna 150 was substantially damaged during a crash shortly after takeoff from Wiscasset Airport in Wiscasset, Maine. The pilot was not injured in the accident.
During the preflight inspection the pilot checked the fuel tanks, which looked to be about half full. As the pilot continued the inspection, he found the fuel drains "frozen stuck" and did not want to force them open. He drained about 6 ounces of fuel from the fuel strainer off the engine and found no visible contaminates. He also checked the fuel vent and determined it was open.
The pilot started the Cessna, taxied to the runway, and performed a runup. All indications were normal, so he back taxied on Runway 25 and made a right-crosswind takeoff. Just seconds into the flight, and at about 125 agl, the engine quit.
The pilot elected to land in a clear area at the end of Runway 25. During the landing, the left wing tip touched the ground, the nosewheel collapsed, and the right wing dug into the snow, causing the airplane to come to a stop.
The FAA inspector found fuel on board the aircraft and the fuel drains still frozen shut. The inspector gave the pilot permission to move the Cessna back to its tiedown spot and attempt to drain fuel from the fuel strainer. Later in the day, the pilot returned to find fuel leaking out of the left wing fuel vent. The temperature had warmed above freezing, and any ice blocking the fuel vent would have melted. The pilot had no difficulty draining fuel from the fuel strainer or the carburetor and found about 10 cc of water in the carburetor.
The pilot told the investigator that the airplane had been exposed to "three weeks of terrible weather, high winds, sleet, blowing snow, and very cold temperatures. Some of this precipitation found its way into the fuel tank vents and blocked them."
The NTSB determined the cause of this accident to be the pilot's inadequate preflight inspection.
This accident underscores the importance of a thorough preflight. Although it may not have been possible to detect ice in the fuel vent, the pilot should have been suspicious, given the condition of the drains. This accident could have been prevented if the pilot had waited for the temperature to warm above freezing, which would have enabled the ice to melt.
Accident reports can be found in ASI's accident database.

Texas Public Policy Foundation David Guenther Discusses Texas Abortion Bill and Supreme Court's Decision On Voting Rights Act [AUDIO]
On the Tuesday edition of The Chad Hasty Show, David Guenthner from the Texas Public Policy Foundation talked with Chad Hasty about the latest coming out of Austin and out of the Supreme Court.
With just hours left in the first special session of the Texas legislature, Democrats are planning to block the Senate abortion bill today. Senator Wendy Davis from Forth Worth is expected to present a 13-hour filibuster in the Senate today, aiming to run out the clock on the hotly-contested bill. Guenthner explained how the Democrats had tried to block the bill throughout the session.
"The abortion bill did not get back to the Senate until yesterday. there were some stalling maneuvers as far as it going over to the House. I think also with a lot of the stuff being added halfway through the special [session], it really constrained the time frame on the back end.
Although the Republicans can't do anything to stop the filibuster, Gunethner said it will still be a difficult task.
Guenthner also commented on the breaking news that the Supreme Court declared Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act to be unconstitutional. Section 4 of the act was the provision that determined which states and counties must have federal government approval of any changes made to their voting laws.
However, Chief Justice John Roberts stated is his opinion that "things have changed dramatically" in the South, so the provision was no longer valid. Guenthner said the court's decision should have a major effect on a number of issues such as redistricting.

Microsoft has announced a bumper set of updates to its Azure cloud platform. The most significant of these is a new virtual machine role, allowing customers to deploy their own virtual machine images onto Microsoft's servers—and do so whether they run Windows or Linux. The new features are now being previewed.
OpenSUSE 12.1, CentOS 6.2, Ubuntu 12.04, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 join Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 Release Candidate in the list of compatible operating systems that can be used in Azure's new infrastructure-as-a-service virtual machine role.
While Azure's platform-as-a-service roles are non-persistent (applications should store data in one of the Azure storage systems instead), the new VMs are traditional, persistent machines. This should make migration from on-premises servers easy to do.

Sure there is. And in my years of experience, I can attest to such proposition. In fact, I was able to come up with the topmost five shortcomings any rock musician performing alongside with a band may, in a way or another, encounter.
Why am I so sure? This is because I've seen how these five ruined my past endeavors. They even did the same to others hehehe…
Oh, before I forget… I would like to tell everyone that I also write for another blog, other than those I created here in wordpress. It's in blogger. For now that I still don't have the capacity to provide for a self-hosted site, I treat such blogger site as my current and official repository of my original articles and works.
Now back to business…
If you'd like to check out some insights about rock music and how some bands won't just work out, you may click here, NOW. :)
For musicians, how true can these be? I'd love to hear your thoughts! :)

The "Foreign Companies in Argentina Database" (FCAD–PICT 2010/0501) contains information on all foreign companies (registered as foreign or registered in Argentina) operating in the country, and takes into account country of origin, date of creation, organizational form, principal activity, type of investment (greenfield, brownfield and joint-venture), social capital, reserves and results, as well as other data such as composition of boards, for the selected years: 1913, 1923, 1930, 1937-8, 1944, 1959-60, and 1970-1.
The head researchers on this project are Andrea Lluch (CONICET/UNLPam y Facultad de Administración, UNIANDES, Colombia, and a BHC trustee) and Norma Lanciotti (CONICET-Universidad Nacional de Rosario). As they explain on the website,
Foreign companies have played a fundamental role in the Argentinian economy development since the beginning of the process of internal market organization and the consolidation of the nation state in the 19th century until the present day. With this in mind, the general aim of the project is to analyze the historical role of multinational companies and the characteristics of the different cycles of foreign direct investment in the long term and from a business history perspective.
Scholars are invited to explore the database and to offer comments and suggestions to Andrea Lluch (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Norma Lanciotti (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program
What is the source of water pollution?
Water pollution originates from various sources. Typically, it is categorized into one of two sources known as either "point source" or "non-point source" pollution. Point source pollution traditionally includes treated discharges from a wastewater treatment plant or an industrial facility directly to a body of water. These discharges contain measurable quantities of water and pollutants. Non-point source pollution occurs by the transport of pollutants in stormwater runoff overland to a body of water, such as a stream, river or canal. Sources of this type of pollution include oil and grease from roadways, lawn and garden pesticides and other litter and debris. Even soil and sediment erosion from exposed soils such as on a construction site is considered a pollutant. The amount of these types of pollutants is dependant on the amount of rainfall and the land uses in a particular watershed. The more intensely a watershed is developed, the more stormwater runoff and pollutants enter the drainage system. Therefore, urbanized and developing areas tend to generate a great deal of non-point source pollution.
What is the state and federal government doing to prevent water pollution?
Recognizing the importance of controlling water pollution, the Federal government authorized the Clean Water Act of 1987, part of which mandated that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prepare a plan to characterize and address non-point source pollution. In response, the EPA developed the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permitting program. The program was to be introduced in two phases. Phase I began in 1990 and Phase II in 1999. Phase II of the NPDES stormwater permitting program regulates Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System's (MS4's), such as ours in Umatilla. A MS4 is a publicly owned conveyance or system of conveyances (i.e. ditches, canals, curbs, catch basins, underground pipes, etc.) that is designed for the discharge of stormwater to surface waters of the state. Cities, counties and drainage districts typically operate MS4's. In October 2000, EPA authorized the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to implement the NPDES stormwater permitting program in Florida. FDEP currently regulates several sources of point source and non-point source pollution through their NPDES Stormwater Program.
To report a potential illicit discharge within the City of Umatilla contact Umatilla City Hall at (352) 669-3125.
What is Umatilla doing to prevent water pollution?
The City of Umatilla's permit establishes several "Best Management Practices" (BMP's) and measurable goals that Umatilla must implement to reduce pollutants to the maximum extent practical to improve water quality within its MS4 over a five-year period. The required BMP elements outlined in the City's NPDES permit can be summarized as follows:
Public Education and Outreach
To distribute educational materials and perform outreach to inform citizens, businesses and farmers about the impacts polluted stormwater runoff discharges can have on water quality.
Public Participation and Involvement
To provide opportunities for citizens to participate in the development and implementation of a stormwater management program for Umatilla.
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
To develop, implement and enforce a plan to detect and eliminate illicit discharges to the City's storm drainage system.
Construction Site Runoff
To develop, implement and enforce an erosion and sediment control program for construction activities that disturb one acre or more of land.
Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping
To develop and implement a program to reduce or eliminate pollutant runoff from City facilities and operations.
Why should controlling water pollution matter to me?
Non-point source pollutants eventually make their way through the City's drainage system to major water bodies. They can have significant impacts on water quality, affecting the habitat for fish, aquatic organisms and other wildlife. This ultimately leads to degradation and reduced use and benefits of these great environmental resources to the residents and economy of Umatilla.
What can I do to prevent water pollution?
Homeowners can reduce water pollution by making simple changes, such as reducing the amount they water and fertilize their lawns to proper maintenance of their drainage swales. Did you know that besides draining our properties, swales act as a filter to remove pollutants from stormwater runoff and can promote groundwater recharge?
