FAIRBANKS (AP) -- A Fish and Wildlife trooper stumbled across a suspected methamphetamine lab Sunday as he checked out a report of trespassing at a Harding Lake cabin.
Trooper James Burton, on patrol at nearby Birch Lake about 45 miles south of Fairbanks on the Richardson Highway, responded after the cabin owner reported there were two vehicles parked at the building. No one was supposed to be there, the owner told troopers.
When Burton arrived, only a red Ford truck was at the cabin. Burton said that when he knocked on the door, the lights were on but no one answered. He said he smelled an odor that was strong enough to feel like ''sticking an ice cube'' to his eyeballs. He recognized the odor as being commonly associated with a methamphetamine lab.
''To me, it smells like paint thinner and rubber cement,'' Burton said.
Burton said he knocked repeatedly a second time and saw shadows moving behind curtains, but, once again, no one answered. He then drove about 200 yards down the road to monitor traffic and wait for investigators from the statewide drug enforcement unit to arrive with a search warrant.
During his wait, the red Ford truck came down the road. Burton stopped the truck and arrested its two 18-year-old occupants on burglary charges, which were dismissed by the district attorney's office Monday. The driver, Timothy Dale Middleton of North Pole, also was cited for driving with an expired registration.
Trooper Sgt. Ron Wall, said investigators found what looked like a ''fairly large'' methamphetamine lab inside the living room and kitchen of the cabin, which is about 25 yards from the back side of the lake.
Wall said investigators removed highly toxic and flammable chemicals often found at suspected labs: red phosphorous, hydrochloric acid, toluene, acetone and ephedrine.
Samples will be sent to the statewide crime lab. Officials were at the cabin Sunday night and most of Monday.
The Fairbanks North Star Borough hazardous materials team disposed of the remaining material.

Students Create Award-Winning 'Green' Airplane Designs
The winning design of a NASA student competition to create a new greener aircraft looks a little like a cross between a plane and a Swiss army knife.
More than 20 seniors from the University of Virginia contributed to the winning paper and project they called the VERDe Atrema or Virginia Environmentally Responsible Design (VERDe) Atrema. They responded to a challenge from the Environmentally Responsible Aviation Project of NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate.The challenge was to submit ideas and designs for aircraft or engine concepts and technologies that would assist in meeting the project's goals for more environmentally friendly aviation by the year 2020. Those goals include better fuel economy, fewer emissions, less noise and better performing airplanes.
Judges for the competition assessed submissions from 20 national and international student teams, most of whom are studying engineering. Nine seniors from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., created the second place entry known as P6CAF-IncAR Concept Airliner, which looks more like a traditional tube and wing aircraft.
Two teams tied for third place including another group from Purdue. Nine undergraduates from the Indiana university designed the "Night Panther" airliner, while a team of eight first year graduate students from Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta designed a blended wing body aircraft they called ERATO.
All of the non-U.S. winners came from India. First place went to two seniors at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, for their engine concepts. Two seniors from Anna University in Chennai came in second for their blended wing body design. Third place went to four undergraduates from SRM University in Kattankulathur for their airliner concept.
NASA sponsors design contests in hopes of interesting students in aeronautics and engineering careers. Each winning U.S. college team received a cash award and an engraved trophy through a NASA education grant and cooperative agreement. Cash awards ranged from $5,000 for first place to $2,500 for third place. Non-U.S. participants received certificates of appreciation.
High school students also had the opportunity to enter a similar, but a little less academically challenging, contest. The movie "Back to the Future" may have inspired the winner of that competition.
United States winner Andrew Andraka, a senior at Bishop Hendricken High School in Warwick, R. I., chose to focus on "the next generation eco-friendly hydrogen airship." His was one of 34 entries from the U.S. and around the world in the "Environmentally Responsible Aviation (Green) Aviation High School Student Challenge," also sponsored by the Environmentally Responsible Aviation project.
In his research paper's introduction Andraka said, in essence, passenger airships got a bad rap following the famous Hindenburg airship disaster in 1937. "Hydrogen was blamed as the root cause for the disaster, being the flammable lifting gas used within the Hindenburg. Although this theory has been the root of debate over the years, there still existed serious safety concerns that couldn't be dealt with by the technology of the day. My concept for a super efficient next generation passenger transport exploits the technological concepts of these majestic novelties that once dominated this unique niche of international air travel."
Andraka touts the abundance of inexpensive, environmentally friendly hydrogen as a replacement for pollution producing jet fuel. He would contain the flammable hydrogen inside chambers made of advanced composite materials filled with oxygen-consuming bacteria to reduce fire risk. The study also suggests that solar power would make up part of a unique hybrid electric engine technology.
Other teams in the high school competition also proposed hybrid engine technology as part of their green aviation solution. Some looked at the potential of solar power. Others researched biofuels as an alternative.
There was a tie for second place among the U.S. entries. Second place went to three seniors at Linwood Holton Governor's School in Abingdon, Va. and two juniors from St. Croix Preparatory Academy Stillwater, Minn.
Students from India and Romania took top honors among the foreign entries. First place went to 11th grader Nitish Kulkarni, from the Oakridge International School Hyderabad, India. Twelfth grader teams from Tudor Vianu National High School of Computer Science in Bucharest, Romania came in second and third.
Winning U.S. high school entries were also eligible for cash awards and trophies. The cash award for a first place team was $1,500 and $1,000 for individual first place. Non-U.S. participants received certificates of appreciation.

The Pilates Bookshelf: The Anatomy of Pilates
By Nicole Rogers
It's surprising that there are so few books out there that directly address the anatomy of Pilates, considering the Pilates world's enthusiasm for studying anatomy, and considering there are plenty of books out there about the anatomy of yoga. But if you've been wishing for a Pilates-specific anatomy text, you're finally in luck.
Paul Massey's The Anatomy of Pilates , released earlier this year by North Atlantic Books, covers the basic anatomy of the classical mat series. It is a great introduction to Pilates-specific anatomy, and it is definitely intended for Pilates professionals. The book is filled with excellent illustrations that clearly show the key muscles and how they function in each exercise. The first two chapters provide an introduction to Pilates, and a guide to posture and movement assessment. Then the book provides a description of each exercise: the movement, the breathing, the possible "pitfalls," and of course the specific muscles that are used.
The book is a straightforward text that deals mostly with musculature.

The Pilates Bookshelf: The Body Has a Mind of Its Own
By Madeline Black
The Body Has a Mind of Its Own (Random House, 2007) by Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee is a fascinating and educational book about how we process our experiences through our body. The mother-son science writing team explores the brain's "body map" and its role in our ability to feel, move, perceive and learn motor skills, as well as how it relates to phenomenons such as phantom limbs, stroke recovery and out-of-body experiences.
The authors explain how the brain works in a way that is scientific yet understandable and entertaining. My favorite part is how they describe the history of the concept of body maps and their importance to the body's way of learning to move in space and experience the outside world. Read on to see how body maps relate to our work as Pilates instructors.
According to the authors, our peri-personal space changes size in relation to what we are doing. For example, when we are lying on the Trapeze Table performing a movement, our body map goes beyond our physical body to include the bar, springs and table. Beginner Pilates students don't have the body schema of the trapeze table mapped in their brain yet. They will not be moving with flow and grace with the apparatus but handling the bars and springs awkwardly until repetition develops the schema in their brain. When one is working on the mat, the space shrinks to the area of the mat.
Since the size of the peripersonal space changes, it is important to be aware of the changing boundary the client is creating around himself or herself. When we are cueing or adjusting their body, we are part of that space, inside their boundary. At the same time, the client is part of your peri-personal space, inside your boundary. The boundary is a negotiated boundary between us because we have an agreement with the client based on trust to enter their peri-personal space. Awareness of the negotiated boundary is important to the client-teacher relationship because we want the client to respond favorably to an adjustment.
The client's body schema develops over time with more practice. I have witnessed clients self-adjust their bodies by a mere non-verbal suggestion when I walk near them to place my hands in a position on their body that I have done many times. It is remarkable how the body schema changes to the place of almost unconscious consciousness of movements. In the book, the authors refer to the power of visualizing an activity prior to performing in order to excel in a high-performance sport or dance.
The book is full of information regarding many in...

The Pilates Bookshelf: Waking the Tiger
A book recommendation from Madeline Black
A Pilates teacher today is presented with clients with issues beyond the physical. They may have problems that are emotional, energetic or spiritual in nature. The physical part is easier for us to understand because that is what we are trained to see and intellectually problem-solve. Sometimes, however, the effort we put into planning and working with a client doesn't advance the client as well as we'd like it to.

Additional Disclosures for Financial Instruments
Measurement of Financial Instruments Based on Categories
ALTANA employs different financial instruments. In accordance with accounting regulations for financial instruments, these financial instruments are classified based on their nature and function into several valuation categories. The following tables provide reconciliation from the items of the statement of financial position to the different categories of financial instruments, their carrying amounts and their fair values at December 31, 2015 and 2014.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents as well as of trade accounts receivable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The carrying amounts of marketable securities and equity investments equal their fair values, provided that the fair values can be determined reliably. For marketable securities and investments traded on the stock exchange the fair values correspond to the quotation on the stock exchange (hierarchy level 1) at the reporting date. Investments not traded on the stock exchange are measured at cost, because their future estimated cash flows cannot be determined reliably. A sale of these investments is currently not planned.
The carrying amounts of derivative financial assets and liabilities equal their fair values.
The fair values of interest bearing other non-derivative financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost and of lease obligations equal the present values of their future estimated cash flows. The present values are calculated taking the currency, interest rates and duration parameters at each reporting date into consideration.
Trade accounts payable and other non-interest bearing non-derivative liabilities generally have a short-term remaining maturity; therefore, their carrying amount approximates their fair value.
The fair value of loan receivables, other financial assets and liabilities, bank debt, lease obligations, and derivative financial assets and liabilities is measured at the present value of the expected cash inflows or cash outflows of the related financial instruments and is therefore allocated to hierarchy level 2.
Income Effect According to Valuation Categories
The following table provides the net result from financial instruments according to the measurement categories. The net financial result contains interest income, interest expense, gains and losses from the sale of financial instruments, dividends received and additionally, changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments not designated in a hedging relationship. The net financial result reported only includes income and expense related to financial instruments and their categories. Interest expense from employee benefit and lease obligations as well as changes in the fair values and interest recognized in connection with hedge accounting are therefore not included. The net operating result includes impairments of trade accounts receivable.
The net financial result includes interest income generated by financial instruments measured at amortized cost amounting to € 2.1 million and € 1.8 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively. Total interest expense amounts to € 8.0 million and € 8.8 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively. Interest income and interest expense are measured by applying the effective interest method.
Risk Analysis
Liquidity Risk: To assure the solvency and financial flexibility of ALTANA, the Company retains a liquidity reserve through cash and cash equivalents and lines of credit.
The following tables show the contractual amortization including the undiscounted interest payments for non-derivative and derivative financial instruments with a positive and a negative fair value. All non-derivative and derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, for which contractual payments had already been agreed, are included in the table. Variable interest payments resulting from non-derivative financial instruments were estimated based on the interest rates applicable at the respective reporting dates. For interest derivative financial instruments, the cash flows were calculated by applying the respective forward interest rates. Budgeted amounts for future expected liabilities were not considered. Foreign currency amounts were translated based on the exchange rates as of the reporting dates. The cash flows attached to the foreign currency derivatives were calculated based on the respective forward rates.
Credit Risk: The Company is exposed to credit risk if business partners do not fulfill their obligations. ALTANA continuously analyses the creditworthiness of significant debtors. Based on its international operations and a diversified customer structure ALTANA has no concentration of credit risk. The Company does not generate sales of more than 3 % with one single customer and less than 20 % with its ten most significant customers combined. Receivables are monitored locally in the operating subsidiaries on an ongoing basis. Financing transactions are mainly carried out with contractual partners that have a credit rating of "Investment Grade". Furthermore, rate-dependent credit limits are assigned to each contracting party that ALTANA invests with, depending on their membership of a deposit protection fund.
The carrying amount of all receivables (see also note 18), loan receivables, marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents represents the maximum credit risk of ALTANA. At the reporting date, there were no significant arrangements which reduced the maximum credit risk.
Currency Risk: The Company is subject to currency risk associated with its international operations. Currency risk occurs for financial instruments which are denominated in another than the functional currency. Foreign currency translation risk resulting from the consolidation of foreign subsidiaries is not considered. For hedging instruments used by the Company to limit the exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations see "Hedging".
The main currency fluctuation risks relate to exchange rate changes of the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen.
The following table provides the effects of a 10 % quantitative change of currency exchange rates on profit or loss and on the item "Derivative financial instruments" in other comprehensive income (see table "Foreign Currency" in note 2):
Interest Rate Risk: The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates. The majority of the interest-sensitive assets and liabilities are marketable securities (money market funds) and debt. For those assets or liabilities that are variable rate instruments, changes in the interest rate will result in changes of the expected cash flows and will affect profit or loss. The fair value of fixed interest rate financial assets classified as available-for-sale and measured at fair value is affected by changes in the interest rate and the resulting change in the fair value is reported in other comprehensive income.
The following table shows the profit or loss effect as well as changes in other comprehensive income on interest-bearing assets, liabilities and interest rate swaps resulting from a change in the average market rate of interest of 50 basis points. The sensitivity analysis was performed under the assumption that the interest rate may decrease to below zero percent. Due to the market situation in 2014, negative interest rates had been precluded for the sensitivity analysis. The interest payments from the hedged items and the hedging instruments (cash flow hedge) are presented separately.
ALTANA has established policies and procedures for assessing risks related to derivative financial instruments activities and uses derivative financial instruments exclusively for hedging purposes.
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts: The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exchange risks resulting from expected transactions of subsidiaries. Hedging instruments with terms of up to 18 months are used to hedge U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen sales transactions of subsidiaries. In accordance with the hedging strategy of the Company, 75 % of the forecast transactions of the first six months, 60 % of the second six months, and 30 % of the last six months of the forecast transactions are hedged. Forecast transactions are only hedged to the extent that the risk related to the transaction is not neutralized by offsetting items. The volume of the hedged transactions as described above is reduced when the occurrence of the transactions is not highly probable. Currently, the maturity dates of these contracts are less than two years. Furthermore, forward foreign exchange contracts are used to hedge the foreign exchange risk attached to intercompany loans denominated in foreign currencies.
Interest Rate Swaps: The Company uses interest rate swaps to limit the cash flow risk from interest rate fluctuations of the variable interest rate tranche of the promissory note loan (German Schuldschein) taken up in 2012.
Cash Flow Hedges
Hedging of Anticipated Sales Denominated in Foreign Currencies: ALTANA has entered into forward foreign exchange contracts for forecast sales transactions denominated in U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen for its subsidiaries and has designated them as cash flow hedges. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the fair values are as follows:
Amounts relating to forward foreign exchange contracts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into income when the hedged item is realized. In 2015, a change in fair value amounting to € 6.6 million (decrease) was recognized in other comprehensive income and € 5.7 million were reclassified to net sales (reduction in net sales). In 2014, a change in fair value of € 4.5 million (increase) was recognized in other comprehensive income and € 3.7 million were reclassified to net sales (increase in net sales).
The following table shows the forecast cash flows of the hedged transactions which correspond to the maturities of the forward foreign exchange transactions.
Hedging of External Debt: ALTANA entered into interest rate swaps for external loans which exchange variable to fixed-interest payments. The interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. Interest payments are due semi-annually. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, the fair values of these interest rate swaps are as follows:
The interest rate swaps mature in 2016 and 2018, corresponding to the terms of the respective hedged item.
In 2015 and 2014, respectively, a change in fair value of € - 0.2 million and € - 0.8 million was recognized in other comprehensive income. Additionally, in 2015 and 2014, expenses amounting to € 0.6 million and € 0.5 million were recognized in the financial result.
Fair Value Hedges
Hedging of Contracted Sales Denominated in Foreign Currencies: At December 31, 2015 and 2014, ALTANA entered into forward foreign exchange contracts with a nominal value of U.S. Dollar 8.6 million and U.S. Dollar 7.4 million and of Japanese Yen 803.0 million and Japanese Yen 840.0 million, respectively. These contracts relate to sales transactions denominated in U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen with subsidiaries and are classified as fair value hedges. At December 31, 2015 and 2014 the fair values are as follows:
In 2015 and 2014, the effect of the fair value hedge on profit or loss amounted to € 5.5 million and € - 4.6 million, respectively, and thereby offset the effect of the measurement of the hedged transactions.
Hedging of Intercompany Foreign Currency Loans
In 2015, ALTANA entered into forward foreign exchange contracts with a nominal value of U.S. Dollar 173.5 million (2014: U.S. Dollar 191.3 million), of Japanese Yen 1.4 billion (2014: Japanese Yen 1.0 billion), of Swiss Franc 8.5 million (2014: none) and of British Pound 1.0 million (2014: British Pound 3.0 million), to hedge intercompany foreign currency loans for which no offsetting items existed. These forward foreign exchange contracts which serve as economic hedge of the foreign currency exchange rate risk are not designated in a hedging relationship that qualifies for hedge accounting and consequently, changes in their fair values are recognized in the financial result.
Offsetting of Financial Instruments
Under the German Master Agreement for Financial Futures all derivative financial instruments that ALTANA has concluded are subject to offsetting agreements, which allow for offsetting in event of default by one party. The amounts reported in trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable result from credit notes issued and received. The following tables present the amounts actually offset in the statements of financial position as well as potential offsetting amounts under global netting and other offsetting agreements:

CUT restaurant and lounge at the Regent Beverly Wilshire is yet another culinary acclaim by famed chef Wolfgang Puck. Known as a steakhouse that you go "to see and to be seen", with regular industry heavy hitters as well as a favorite amongst celebrities, it is another slam-dunk for the master chef.
I had never visited CUT , In the past if the opportunity had ever presented itself I was never THAT enthusiastic about sitting down to a 20oz Steak. Little did I know – they have way more to offer than their fabulous cuts of beef…
First of all the bread…. (You can always make a great first impression with me if you have good bread) – Pretzel Bread – Warm, slightly salty and slightly sweet – Totally delicious! When it came to ordering my dining companion proclaimed himself an "expert" on CUT's menu, so I let him do the all the deciding.
We started out with two appetizers, Bone Marrow Flan and the 6oz Wagu (strange for an appetizer I know…). The Bone Marrow flan… well… was VERY interesting… super soft and decadent, it is definitely a dish you love or hate. It's a creamy mixture of bone marrow and custard. It was served with a brioche and a mushroom "marmalade" (more like a tapenade). I am OK with most strange dishes, but the texture of this dish weirded it me out a bit, although I could appreciate why some might think it is decadent.
Next we split had the 6oz of Wagu cooked medium rare. I am going to go out on a limb here (especially since I am from Alberta, Canada known for its beef… ) BUT pretty sure it was the best piece of beef I have ever tasted. It literally melted in my mouth…beyond delicious! I was already full by this point (that is what happens when you binge on pretzel bread) so it was a good thing that I had ordered a salad for my main dish. Not that this was any an old salad the " Pink Lady and Fuji Apple Salad " was a combination of fennel, apples, dates, almonds and blue cheddar. It was a super pleasing combination of flavors. The small sharp cheddar went so well with the crisp, light texture of the apples and fennel, sweetened just a tad with the Medjool Dates.
Overall it was an extraordinary meal. The food, service, and ambience made it definitely a night to remember! Although I would never lean-to say it was an inexpensive meal, therefore put this one to the back-burner for a special occasion.

ANCHORAGE - It took love for what they do and a melding of talents for Mike and Michele Robuck to grow the Alaska Mint from a one-coin operation to a diversified and thriving business.
That love, mixed with hard work - and maybe a little luck, Michele admits - has delivered the Robucks personal satisfaction, business success, and has now earned them the distinction of being named the 2004 Alaska Small Business Persons of the Year.
Awarded since 1963 by the Alaska District of the U.S. Small Business Administration, the small business person of the year award is given to a business that, among other criteria, displays staying power, grows its financial and employee base, overcomes adversity and innovates.
"It's the people really more than the business," that the award recognizes, said William Wheat of the public affairs office of the Alaska District of the SBA.
As the people behind the Alaska Mint, the Robucks have poured their energy into building their business successfully on several fronts. With one medallion design featuring a fisherman, Mike started the Alaska Mint, expanding on the coin division at the family jewelry store that his father started in 1967.
In 1989, Mike ran his business from a sidewalk vending cart in downtown Anchorage before leasing the "Old City Hall" building on Fourth Avenue. In 1991, the Alaska Mint struck 18,000 medallions, selling them for $9.95 each. Now, Mike and Michele design, manufacture, wholesale and retail an array of unique medallions, watches, Alaska souvenirs, jewelry, and custom designs, with the majority of products retailing for between $30 and $75.
Alaska Mint products are still available at their newest store on Fourth Avenue, but can also be found on the Internet and in catalogues, as well as being sold wholesale to other retailers. The Alaska Mint even had a three-minute stint on the QVC home shopping network, during which they sold $35,000 worth of medallions.
Michele became Mike's business partner after the two married in 1994. Michele's strong business background complimented Mike's design talents. Michele said the two have been able to learn from each other and, in turn, make the Alaska Mint a stronger business.
"Mike and I are a good combination. I come from a business background and he comes from a background in jewelry," Michele said. "When we started working on this together, it allowed me to be more creative, and I brought the knowledge of the business end of it."
Michele partly gives credit to clever and well-directed advertising to the business's success.

If I knew nothing else about Gov.

Wikijunior:Ancient Civilizations/Illyria
Where did they live?[edit]
Illyria was a region in the western part of today's Balkan Peninsula inhabited by the Illyrians, a heterogeneous coalition of tribes. Very little is known about the Illyrians, though a number of them are assumed to have been united by a common Illyrian language.
Illyrians were divided in tribes such as Albani, Dassareti, Enchelei, Dalmatae, Deraemestae, Taulantii, Pannonian tribes, Pirustae, Partheni, Abri, Maezaei etc.
Illyrian border lies from rivers Drava and Sava in the north and the region of the Bylliones in the South.
What did their buildings look like?[edit]
Illyrian architecture was almost the same as Greek and Roman architecture. Thanks to its position Illyria was greatly influenced by those two countries. Illyrian buildings had regular shape and the main materials that were used were limestone and marble or gold for decorations. Some famous buildings that still remain are those in the site of Apollonia (in the photo) and Butrinti, the amphitheatre in Durrës etc.
What did they eat?[edit]
Illyrian used to eat meat, bread, honey, milk and drink a kind of beer (which is still known as The Beer of Peja), brandy and wine. Brandy is still used in Albania and other parts of Balkan Peninsula as a kind of "national drink"
What did they wear?[edit]
Their writing looked like the Greek writing of today. But many scientists have discovered that if you try to translate the Illyrian language into the modern European languages that Albanian is the most suitable language to translate it into, because a lot of those ancient words used by the Illyrians can be translated into Albanian which quite frankly and weird is not the case with the Slavic and Greek languages.
What did they believe?[edit]
What is their history?[edit]
Are some of them famous even today?[edit]
Yes of course, haven't you heard about Roman emperors for example Decius, Hostilian, Claudius Gothicus, Aurelian, Probus and so on and so on? They were from Illyria. Pyrrhus of Epirus was a Molossian from Illyria. Olympias, the mother of Alexander the Great was from Illyria too. Want you more? OK, Bardyllis, Monunius, Queen Teuta, Gentius, Bato, Celer were famous Illyrians too.
What is left of them today?[edit]
The whole modern Albania, Kosovo and other parts inhabited by Albanians in Balkan such as Western Macedonia, Northwestern Greece, Southeast Montenegro etc.

Practical perspectives on cancer treatment by thought leaders, explaining how they would approach the treatment of a patient in their area of expertise.

Department of Radiation Oncology
Moffitt Cancer Center
Tampa, Fla.
Pancreatic cancer remains a difficult oncologic challenge, with the majority of patients presenting with locally advanced or metastatic tumors. A minority of patients present with tumors amenable to either upfront surgical resection or potential resection following neoadjuvant therapy. Although no universal criteria for borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) exist, many institutions, like ours, follow the NCCN criteria.
When patients present to our multidisciplinary pancreatic team with a pancreatic mass, we advise endoscopic ultrasound to further characterize the lesion and perform fine needle aspiration (FNA) for diagnosis. Our workup includes a thin cut pancreatic protocol CT scan with both arterial and venous phases to assess the degree of vascular abutment and length of involvement.
PET/CT imaging ensures no evidence of occult metastasis, which we note can change management 11 to 22 percent of the time.1,2 All our patients are presented to our weekly multidisciplinary tumor board run by Dr. Mokenge Malafa, vice chair of the NCCN pancreas group.
Once the tumor board has agreed that the patient has a BRPC, we proceed with our institutional neoadjuvant approach. Nationally, there is no uniform standard of care approach in this setting.3 Our approach to facilitate margin negative resection was designed by medical oncologist Dr. Gregory Springett and begins with three cycles of GTX (gemcitabine, docetaxel, and capecitabine) chemotherapy.
When I joined the faculty at Moffitt in 2006, I instituted intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) delivery concurrently with infusional fluorouracil (5-FU). Initially, I delivered 45 Gy in 25 fractions to the gross tumor volume (GTV) delineated by 4D CT scan and a clinical target volume (CTV) including the regional nodes at risk. A cone down boost to 5.4 Gy in three fractions to the GTV ensured a total dose of 50.4 Gy. he IMRT strategy then expanded to a dose painted simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) technique over five weeks to deliver 45 Gy to the CTV and 50 Gy to the GTV.
During this time, the Stanford series reported by Koong et al was available and discussed delivery of a single fraction of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for patients with locally advanced tumors.4 At our tumor board, my surgical colleagues were intrigued by this concept and wanted to know if we could do the same but focus more dose on the tumor/vessel abutment.
This collaboration led to an investigator-initiated prospective protocol with GTX and five-fraction SBRT to 25 Gy. Our experience with this early trial showed good toleration with an acceptably low toxicity profile and encouraged us that the five-fraction SBRT technique was feasible.
By 2009, we recruited Ravi Shridhar, MD, PhD, to our practice. Together, we have continued our work in the five-fraction SBRT model for BRPC. Our institution has now been employing this approach for more than five years with the support of our GI surgical oncology colleagues on our agreed-upon institutional pathway.
Our typical practice is to consult with the patient at initial diagnosis as part of the multidisciplinary team. We then arrange to see the patient again during the third cycle of GTX to coordinate endoscopic ultrasound evaluation and implantation of two to three fiducial markers into the pancreatic primary tumor.
Following implantation, the patient undergoes a conventional simulation so we can assess the degree of respiratory-associated tumor motion. If the motion is more than 5 mm, we assess the patient for a technique to decrease such motion. Our preferred techniques are either respiratory gating or abdominal compression.
The patient next undergoes 4D CT simulation. A full-body immobilization device is customized to patients with their arms over their head. An initial scan is done to visualize the fiducial markers and place isocenter. A second scan is done using 4D technique with IV/oral contrast.
We time image acquisition to start 60 to 90 seconds after contrast injection to capture the venous phase. After the images are processed, we review the 4D data. If we are gating, we determine the phase at which the tumor is at maximum expiration. We then choose that scan as the primary data set and fuse the phases at which the patient begins and exits exhalation. If available, we will fuse a 3D PET using soft tissue deformation or fuse a 4D PET to the appropriate phase.
If we are not gating, we would simulate the patient with abdominal compression and delineate the GTV in all phases as our internal target volume (ITV).
The radiotherapy technique varies depending on the clinical situation. We often use a 3D conformal multileaf collimator (MLC) delivery technique for our gated SBRT patients. For set up, we have patients fast three hours prior to treatment, and we do a cone beam CT (CBCT) on the day of preports to ensure no changes in the patient's weight or fiducial marker position since the time of simulation.
We then proceed using kilovoltage (kv) imaging in the ap and lateral directions, matching the position of the fiducial marker in maximum exhalation phase on the machine to the position on the digitally reconstructed radiograph (DRR) from simulation. If there are significant shifts of more than 1 cm, we re-4D CT the patient. We fuse the dosimetry and contours from the initial plan to the updated CT to ensure that we do not need to adjust the plan.
In the setting where we choose an IMRT technique for SBRT delivery, we often use VMAT. Initially, we were concerned about potential dose degradation with a moving target and sliding MLC leaves; however, our physics colleagues have reported no such dose degradation up to 3 cm of motion.5
SBRT dosing is dependent on normal tissue constraints. Our philosophy is to deliver 30 Gy in 5 fractions to the planning volume encompassing the GTV and up to 40 Gy in 5 fractions to the GTV/vessel abutment. We have published our results and note a nearly 10% complete pathologic response (pCR) rate with this approach.6 In our report of 32 patients with BRPC, 31 (96.9%) underwent R0 resection with a median overall survival of 16.4 months and a 1 year overall survival of 72.2%, encouraging results in such a difficult disease.

FOOTBALL: No. 9 West Haven thrashes Notre Dame-West Haven (video, photos)
Published 12:00 am, Friday, September 28, 2012
WEST HAVEN -- The West Haven football team has had plenty of time to think about its last visit to Veterans Stadium. The contest, which resulted in a West Haven loss, was one of the reasons the Westies failed to qualify for the postseason last year.
Fast forward to Friday night and the Westies have new -- and better -- memories. Behind a powerful running game which accumulated 330 rushing yards, the Westies defeated Notre Dame-West Haven 34-13 in a Southern Connecticut Conference Division I East game.
"This is a real big win for us," West Haven's Ervin Philips said. "We worked hard in practice all week. We wanted to get a win here. We knew we needed a good showing on offense. We are just taking it a week at a time."
Philips finished with 137 yards rushing and two touchdowns in the game. His 66-yard run on West Haven's first play from scrimmage set the tone of the game and gave the ninth-ranked Westies a 7-0 lead 6 minutes, 10 seconds into the game.
"It was a huge play," West Haven coach Ed McCarthy said after his team improved to 3-0. "He (Philips) cracked one early and that got us going. We allowed them to come right back but we were able to run the ball tonight."
On a night Notre Dame honored the 50th anniversary of the 1962 state champion football team that finished No. 1 in the final Register Top 10 poll, West Haven's running game proved to be very important as Notre Dame's Cameran Tucker had a big night of his own. Tucker, a junior, ran for 323 yards and two touchdowns on 44 carries. Tucker ran out of the Wildcat formation in the second half.
PHOTOS: West Haven beats Notre Dame
"It was a great effort by Tucker," Notre Dame coach Tom Marcucci said. "He had some big runs and he had some called back. He could have run for a lot more. It was a big effort from him."
The first half belonged to Tucker and Philips as each ran wild for their respective teams. Philips had a pair of touchdown runs and gained 114 yards, while Tucker pounded out 172 yards and Notre Dame's only score of the half on a 55-yard run.
Tucker escaped from two West Haven tackles, then sped past the rest of the defense to even the game at 7 with 4:05 left in the opening quarter.
"He (Tucker) ran for a ton of yards," McCarthy said. "He was very good out there."
Philips gave West Haven a 15-7 lead with 9:16 remaining in the first half. After Duane Gary ran for 16 yards, Philips capped the two-play drive with a 14-yard run off right tackle. Philips ran in the conversion for the 8-point lead.
West Haven then turned in the play of the game on the opening kickoff of the second half. Williams took the kickoff 70 yards for the score, giving West Haven a 21-7 lead.
"My coaches just told me to be ready because the ball was coming to me," Williams said. "I got it and just went full speed.
"This feels so good, especially as a senior. We have so many weapons. There is so much we can do. We just want to work hard as a team and keep getting better."
The Green Knights (1-2) drove deep into West Haven territory on the first two possessions of the second half but came up empty. West Haven took advantage, pulling away when Gary followed his blocks and raced 54 yards for a score 23 seconds into the fourth quarter.
"West Haven has some very good backs," Marcucci said. "They are very athletic. They do a nice job with the ball. Ervin Philips is a great back and the other two are really good."
Williams gave the Westies a 34-7 lead with a 28-yard touchdown run with 2:57 remaining before Tucker capped the scoring 51 seconds later with a 40-yard score.
Gary ran for 124 yards and a touchdown on nine carries, while Williams rushed for 70 yards and a score also on nine carries.

Was gonna go and be up there at 9 when they open, but called first to see if they had any left. Apparently they opened at 8 for a doorbuster sale. They had 2 left, but they were being looked at....so I am sure they are gone now. They got those, they will get more. We're househunting right now anyway, so I can wait a little longer to get one.

I shot my gun today & actually shot what I was aiming at.
All guns shoot what they are aiming at, just that some have a hard time aiming at what they want to hit. ;-)
In the market.
maybe he is on the market for a black rifle.
Actually, I'm shopping for a 300 mag.
i'm not. i am trying to finish my conversion though. need more monies...
Walking through walmart last night, and saw a group of guys standing around in sporting goods. Thought it might be a good sign. Walked back and asked one of them what had came in, and the response i got was we don't know, we are just waiting to see if anything came in. Talked to the associate that works back there and she said they come in every night at about 7:30pm and wait around until 9pm to see if ammo or AR-15's come in. They buy as much as they can, and come back at 7am and do it again. It kinda pissed me off, because I knew the faces of a few off of a Facebook buy/sell/trade sight, and they were some of the ones charging 5x what they paid for 22lr, and double and triple on AR-15s.
In the market for an AR.
Been doing some research.
I saw an add online where some guy is trying to sell 223 ammo for $70/$75 per 100 rds . . .
BTW, I'm not directing this at you, just making the statement.
It isn't price gouging. It's low supply, with high demand. Econ 101.
Buy low, sell high.
Finally got some .22lr this morning at Academy. Another guy in line bought an extra box for me as well. 525 Winchester 36gr HP for $19.99.

OK came across a Howa rifle package today in .308. Anyone have experience with these? Checked out YouTube, and it looks exactly like a Remington 700 TAC, but wondering if it shoots like one? Great value for the money but wondering if its a good piece?

Always heard great things about Howa, never owned one, but the couple I have shot were very accurate.

Pretty much a 45-70 that can be shot out of an AR type rifle. Slow and Heavy.
The gun in the top of the picture IS NOT an assault weapon and the gun pictured below IS an assault weapon. [/THREAD]
I would just use the AR-10 platform if I wanted a big caliber. During non panic times, it is only a couple hundred more to build an AR-10.
