|Phase 2
I. To evaluate the objective response rate (complete and partial response), as defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria, in patients with advanced refractory biliary cancers (BC) receiving Akt inhibitor MK2206 (MK2206).
I. To determine the frequency and severity of adverse events and tolerability of the regimen in patients with advanced refractory BC receiving MK2206.
II. To determine the overall and progression-free survival of patients with advanced refractory BC receiving MK2206.
III. To determine the presence of genetic mutations of PI3-kinase/ Akt pathway signaling-pathway genes relevant to BC and how these correlate with objective response to treatment with MK2206.
IV. To determine the pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic profile as a way of assessing inter-individual variability as well as how these relate to clinical outcomes.
V. To determine genetic variants and mutations in genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters, and genes involved in tumor biology, and how these may be related to response to treatment.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive Akt inhibitor MK2206 orally (PO) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Blood samples are collected at baseline and periodically during study for pharmacokinetic, pharmacogenetic, and other correlative studies. Previously collected tumor tissue is also analyzed.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up for 4 weeks.

Pulp and Paper
Publisher's Summary
"I glanced out the window as my train pulled into the station and saw the girl who killed my son." So begins Josh Rolnick's powerful debut collection of eight stories (winner of the Iowa Short Fiction Award), which utilizes a richly focused narrative style accenting the unavoidable tragedies of life while revealing the grace and dignity with which people learn to deal with them. The stories - four set in New Jersey and four in New York - span the wide geographic tapestry of the area and demonstrate the interconnectedness of both the neighboring states and the residents who inhabit them.
In "Funnyboy", a grief-stricken Levi Stern struggles to come to terms with the banality of his son's accidental death at the hands of Missy Jones, high school cheerleader. In "Pulp and Paper", two neighbors, Gail Denny and Avery Mayberry, attempt to escape a toxic spill resulting from a train derailment when a moment of compassion alters both their futures forever. "Innkeeping" features a teenager's simmering resentment toward the burgeoning relationship between his widowed mother and a longterm hotel guest. "The Herald" introduces us to Dale, a devoted reporter on a small-town newspaper, desperately striving to break a big-time story to salvage his career and his ego. A teenager deals with the inconceivable results of his innocent act before an ice hockey game in "Big Lake". And in "The Carousel", a Coney Island carousel operator confronts the fading memories of a world that once overflowed with grandeur and promise.
Throughout, Rolnick's characters search for a firm footing while wrestling with life's hardships, finding hope and redemption in the simple yet uncommon willingness to act. Pulp and Paper captures lightning in a bottle, excavating the smallest steps people take to move beyond grief, heartbreak, and failure - conjuring the subtle, fragile moments when people are not yet whole, but no longer quite as broken.

Bitter and Sweet
Would you listen to Pulp and Paper again? Why?
Definitely. There are beautiful stories here, which is what kept me engrossed the first time through. But there were also so many great descriptions and turns of phrase and witty lines of dialogue that I didn't get to fully appreciate on the first round because I was focusing on the plot. I'd listen again so that I could have another chance to absorb those things. And these are also the kinds of stories that even though you've already heard them and know how they're going to end, you want to hear them again so you can hear your favorite parts repeated.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Avery in Pulp and Paper. His shifts between depression, hope, and heroism as the story progresses make him compelling; Rolnick makes it clear that Avery is no high-minded savior, that he'd rather just leave crazy Mrs. Denny to the flames, and yet he doesn't. He shows both manipulation and tenderness as he tries to get her to leave the fire, and that tenderness ends up being his death sentence.
Which character – as performed by Robert Fass – was your favorite?
Tweedy from Inkeeping. Fass does a great job of voicing Tweedy in a way that reflects the narrator's opinion of him--sometimes he seems warm, sometimes pompous, just as the boy imagines him. And I like that slightly gravely quality to the voice.
Any additional comments?
A great collection of stories. It's tied together by a nuanced understanding of how bittersweet love (or in a broader sense desire) can be, and of course by the New York/New Jersey setting. But at the same time the stories cover a broad range of characters and situations, and as I listened I never knew what the next story would bring. The writing is never glib or jaded--the emotion here is honest and bare-faced, without ever crossing over into the maudlin, something that's hard to find in fiction these days.

Mr. Rolnick is a great storyteller.
Mr. Rolnick is a great storyteller. Some of the stories in Pulp and Paper explore difficult situations, deaths and an unplanned pregnancy for example, and unveil them in compelling plots with interesting, authentic characters. But the story I loved most was lighter—the fourth story, Mainlanders. I haven't been pulled back to my adolescence like that in decades—feeling the excitement and nervousness at sighting a girl I hoped to meet, the ridiculous lengths I would go through to induce contact, and the horror when contact was made—the perfunctory hellos were over—and it was time to actually say something meaningful. This was a story that I knew well and loved hearing told through Mr. Rolnick's voice. He nailed it. I really enjoyed each of the eight short stories in his collection.
I'm assuming that if you are reading this that you are not new to audio books so you know that the quality of the narration can vary. In this case, the voicing is very nice—the narration gives voice to Rolnick's work such that it conveys the emotion, setting, ideas, and dialogue without adding the distraction of an external voice that takes you away from the story.
I have not purchased a collection of narrated short stories before but thought it might be nice to be able to listen to complete stories in single or double sessions. This proved to be a really nice feature—as I was able to select the story based on the amount of time I had available. When I was in the car for a moderate drive I was able to select a story that I could complete on the round trip—very nice indeed. I am inclined to purchase more short story collections based on this experience. And I will look forward to additional works from Mr. Rolnick to read and listen to in the future.

"Portraits in Prose"
Would you listen to Pulp and Paper again? Why?
I would absolutely listen to P&P repeatedly because the characters are developed with such beautiful subtlety, each unfurling throughout its story. I imagine listening repeatedly would lend itself to even greater empathy as the characters we come to appreciate, encounter circumstances that challenge them to overcome the things we, as readers, most fear. "Funnyboy," especially, is challenging and fulfilling; asking each of us to consider justifying our commitment to self-righteousness versus its consequences - to others as well as ourselves.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Will Taft of "Innkeeping" is such a lovely character and his voice and observations are so well developed. Rolnick has given the character a keen sense of observation without over-expanding his maturity. He is both man, and boy, but the author refrains from extracting too much from him. Excellent, really.
Any additional comments?
Fass' narration brings the characters and the stories together in a Donald-Sutherland-esque way - the cadence and characterization effectively enhancing the storytelling, where another voice may have been distracting. He moves comfortably between character lines and narration and effectively conveys visual elements of the stories to the listener while fully delivering the complex richness of what is happening within.

Beautiful, Compelling Prose
Would you listen to Pulp and Paper again? Why?
"I glanced out the window as my train pulled into the station and saw the girl who killed my son." Now that's how you begin a short story, or in this case, a gripping collection of them.
Pulp and Paper is a masterpiece of short fiction in which author Josh Rolnick creates vivid worlds with complicated characters who are both relatable and extraordinary. Each story is emotional and nostalgic without being sappy or insincere.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Pulp and Paper?
I could read "Funny Boy" over and over again.
What about Robert Fass's performance did you like?
It was rich and warm but not distracting.
If you could rename Pulp and Paper, what would you call it?
Pulitzer Prize winner "Pulp and Paper"
Any additional comments?
I highly recommend you pick up a copy and escape (if briefly) into this brilliant author's stunning imagination.

I managed to get through the first 3 stories...finally gave up. Very shallow plots and boring to me. Maybe just not my kind of stories. There seemed to be no substance.

Every story opens a new door
What did you love best about Pulp and Paper?
I was not much of a short story fan, but this collection changed that. Each story introduced dynamic characters struggling with life's complications. Mystery, interpersonal struggles, death, maturation - its all there. Rolnick is a wonderful short-storyteller who is able to draw you into deeply developed characters and situations in only a fraction of the time of a traditional novel.
What about Robert Fass's performance did you like?
Fass reads each story with a fresh voice, enabling the listener to move from one to another main character. He reads appropriately for a young boy and grown man.

HARGETT�S CROSSROADS � It was a drug deal gone wrong. The scene on Pikesville Road was chaotic as emergency crews rushed to save lives after a wreck, collect the evidence and nab a sniper shooting from the woods behind the cemetery.
HARGETT�S CROSSROADS � It was a drug deal gone wrong. The scene on Pikesville Road was chaotic as emergency crews rushed to save lives after a wreck, collect the evidence and nab a sniper shooting from the woods behind the cemetery.
It was a mock emergency scene held Saturday around the area of Whaley Cemetery.
The disaster simulation was initiated by Lisa Stewart, an emergency medical science teacher at Lenoir Community College, Jones campus.
�We�re trying to make it as realistic as possible,� she said Friday.
On Saturday, many of the emergency responders and all of the students were unaware of what kind of situation they would be facing � just like in real life.
Within a couple of minutes after a call came over the radio from dispatch that there was a wreck on Pikeville Road, a Hargett�s Crossroads fire truck and rescue truck and Jones County EMS pulled up to the scene.
Two wrecked cars were on the shoulder of the road � an SUV with four injured people, including a girl who was screaming, and a car with two injuries and two fatalities. Blood was splashed on the car�s back passenger window.
Suddenly, gunshots were heard in the woods behind the cemetery, and backup was called. Three EMS responders and a firefighter were hit. When law enforcement and other emergency responders showed up, the road was blocked and armed deputies made their way towards the woods.
�Get on the ground,� an officer commanded his team as he approached where the sniper was hiding. �Hold your fire.� The sniper had been involved in a drug deal with the individuals in the two vehicles.
Once the area was secure, the LCC-Jones students were grappling with assessing the injuries of 11 people.
In the chaos, they forgot about making sure the evidence, drugs inside the vehicles, wasn�t disturbed. They also realized they didn�t have enough stretchers for all the injured people.
Stewart asked the students to prioritize what they needed to do.
�They�re doing pretty good,� Connie Simmons, an EMT-basic from Wyse Fork EMS, said. �They�re students, so they�re learning.�
What they are particularly learning is to assess the patients, tend to their injuries and stay with them, while communicating with the person in charge of triage, Simmons said.
�They get so much experience in this that it gets ingrained in the head,� Carrol Tyndall, Jones County�s Emergency Management coordinator, said.
Capt. Justin Eimer of the Jones County Sheriff�s Office, said this is the first time the department has done a mock incident since Sheriff Danny Heath took office in 2010.
�It gives us an opportunity to work together,� he said, �and that�s something the sheriff is big on.�
He said the communication lines are more open between departments and surrounding counties since 2010.
The various aspects of the mock incident, except the sniper, are what the emergency responders have come across in Jones County, he said.
Lt. Ryan Jones of Hargett�s Crossroads, a firefighter and EMT-intermediate, said the students learn how to separate patients based on the severity of their injuries.
Dennis King, Hargett�s deputy chief, said firefighters handle medical calls, as well as wrecks and fires.
�If we feel like it�s not safe for us,� he said, �we�re going to call law enforcement.�
Following the setup incident, all the departments in training assess how they did and how they could improve their response.
Stewart said the coordinated effort couldn�t have been accomplished without all the county�s volunteers. She also commended her students.
�They did a phenomenal job,� she said, �� They worked through the chaos.�

National Cancer Institute Discusses How Collaboration Technologies are Helping Find the Cure for Cancer
At the recent Federal Collaboration User Forum we had an amazing lineup of presentations from both Cisco experts and customers. One of the highlights of the event was the presentation by Todd Cox, lead computer specialist, at the Center for Bioinformatics and Information Technology, National Cancer Institute.
Todd captivated the audience with his presentation, "Finding the Cure through Video." To support their mission of finding cures for devastating diseases, researchers must be able to share extremely large data sets with remote researchers at other institutions and across the globe. This requires high capacity, high reliability, secure network and the ability to share and collaborate on findings in real-time. After all, time is of the essence in discoverability and bringing to light new research.
Todd showcased how their video solution had a much greater impact than originally expected. Through the video technology they are able to lower travel costs and still enable interactive mentoring sessions with lead scientists and students. They have brought together lead researchers from around the world to work out detailed problems in an hour versus weeks of travel coordination. And finally, they have provided a bridge to working more effectively and utilizing resources that was previously out of reach all together. Through video communication they have created a more collaborative environment and are able to share best practices that bring the possibility of curing diseases closer to everyone.
Todd's story was recently showcased in a Government Computer News article where he dives further into his deployment and how Cisco collaboration technologies have streamlined communications in his organization that has led to increased efficiency and reduced operational costs.
Find out more about this video solution and the business benefits of having a broad portfolio of technologies that work seamlessly together through an integrated approach.

Todd was one among many that delivered great presentations and we are looking forward to next year's event!

ConBravo 2014 Convention Report – July 18-20, 2014
ConBravo 2014 Convention Report – July 18-20, 2014 from Hamilton, ON at http://conbravo.com/
Welcome to the latest convention report, this time for the growing ConBravo weekend extravaganza! The attendance this year was 3772 this year, a new record again! It's great to see the growth of a convention over a 5 year span now. I'm going to try this time to give a summary report for each day as there was a lot to do and see this year, so here's what went down this year!
Skeletons in the Closet
This opening convention game show done at G-Anime and brought by one of its organizers to this convention had some of the 404s with Antfish of Team FourStar one of the guests from the musical side tell about their secrets as attendees tried to guess who was lying about the posted secrets and who was telling the truth, all with the extra challenge of a fake secret at the start added, In the end there were stories of roller coaster driving that ended up hitting a squirrel to explode, puking after drinks in washroom and seeing on an adult neighbour's computer adult movies at the age of 12.
The Video Gaming Room
When there was a free moment this was a good place to chill at with a ton of old and new games. There was the Arcade area where I got to play once more Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (the best of the series as it had levels not featured in the home port), Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (I was happy I still remember how to play as Cyber Smoke and do his main combos and his world explosion Fatality), Street Fighter Alpha 3, and Street Fighter III: Third Strike. For others the games ranged from Dance Dance Revolution to Bust a Move, while there was also computer gaming, current and older consoles (I got to play an old Sega Master System with Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap) and about every version of Super Mario Kart made for various systems.
The 404s Improv Comedy Late Night Show: Improv Against Humanity (With an attendance of 100 plus attendees who lined up to enter the Heritage room in basement of Sheraton Hotel)
It was the Late night CAGE show–as the in joke of all things Nicholas Cage continued from Anime North in games like Word Vomit where a pair of actors had to say his name 69 times (I'm pretty sure that's how you summon him, like Beetlejuice). A couple who were both Cage appeared in Pan left/right along with scenes (stuck in the form of a cage) of sexy chess, monks turning water and wafers into wine and fish to call upon a new God with the initials N.C. via all these miracles, and some failed roller coaster riding and puking. Party quirks had a host run into happy, angry and randy Nicholas Cages. Survivor lead to Christopher Walken coaching MLB players who banned Nicholas Cage his rival who watched on and that somehow lead to odd Bill Cosby/Donald duck/Italian accent changes during each retake. Even at the end the entire crowd was chanting for Nicholas Cage to show how pretty insane and fun shows can get.
Other scenes that didn't involve Cage occurred too. Poseidon and a follower had an emotional roller coaster of pride, fear of braiding knots in Poseidon's beard, and excitement over making waterspouts. Film noir focused on passive aggressive post it notes from a mom who is a dad with knife and gun to confuse his/her son. The Last unicorn held a Press Conference for admitting to killing Lady Gaga (I took on the silly role as one of the reporters named Michael Cole who was covering wars and asking for subscriptions to a certain network). The Irish drinking game was about Satan wanting elves and other folks in the Underworld. Richard III stole artichokes from kids who got gangrene on it and many funky colors in More Specific scenes.
Will You Press the Button? Based on an online site http://willyoupressthebutton.com/
This was another fun game show that I participated in with Antfish with The 404s. It was simple-the host would ask from the website would we press the button based on something being given at a cost. Some of the topics included:
*Millions of dollars being rewarded if various people die.
*No more acme but you'd be left with fishy feet (though maybe the feet can breathe underwater even if can only be on land for 24 hours before death anytime not in water as another option).
*Anyone cast in a movie you make gets an Oscar but you can't be Leo Dicaprio
*Getting the skills of the best drummer in the world but always having a beard.
*Time travelling but being unable to interact (just being able to watch...so time travelling Netflix).
*Being very good at everything but your rival would always be just a bit better.
Overall scores didn't matter but some polls had pretty close results.

I got to attend the event briefly due to a lot going on in the day. It was neat to see some of the replica Earth stones used and a bunch of the cosplayers as Korra, Katara, Zuko, Toph, and Azula on site.
Kill La Kill Nudist Beach Meet Up Panel
I was happy to see a bunch of cosplayers aside the Nudist Beach versions of Mako and Satsuki hosting it. I came in my Barazo Nudist Beach outfit appropriately while I also saw people as Nui, Ryuko, and even another Omiko the Tennis star. Everyone who participated got Croquette recipes on a scroll. Some of the topics covered included lots of theories about if Nui is still alive either in Mako's body when she slayed her in one episode or fused with her like a symbiote, fun notes on favourites on the show (even Ragyo, Nui and Nonon got some love for being cool, cute and in due time likeable among reasons) to slides of the costumes for commentary. Fun stories were shared about showing friends the show even with the fanservice leading to being proud of nudity among various controversial topics. Fans made some funny comparisons like Nui bring so pretty in pink or how she looked like Dee Dee from Dexter's Laboratory, how Mako looked like Jotaro Joestar (and a cosplayer was there in the same outfit!), and that Gamagoori can be as big as he wants to be.
Some topics got a bit more discussion in serious like whether Mako is a lesbian or bisexual or straight considering Gamagoori and Ryuko relationships. Some nice secondary cast talk got touched like the Mankanshoku family, Guts the dog too while other characters got surprise talk like Rei (the secretary for Ragyo) being popular to Mohawk badass Tsumugu being key to some story even if he lost a lot in battle. A sneak peek was also shown for the upcoming autumn OVA of their graduation Will it shock by having clothed people? Couples finally being recognized or broken up? Could Senketsu be back based on the voice actor being listed on the preview?! It's interesting that some wanted to know if it can get crazier but that got to talks on why this was a great show. It's been a while since a bat-shit crazy, no holds barred, not scared to shock anime show to appear. Will it work for a season 2 or if another show tried? Maybe not since the first time is sometimes the best as returns can become lessened each time you try to top things. For the ride it is for now Kill La Kill is an amazing show with no limits to dare to be what it is fans seemed to agree upon.
Improv All-Stars on the Main Stage (For a crowd of about 400 plus attendees with guest stars Gaijin Goombah, brentalfloss and Petros of My Life as a Video Game; their links attached to this video of the line up at http://youtu.be/HWCM5jCru_U)
The packed room got to see The 404s act once more with some of the special guests of the convention in various short scenes and games. There was a re-enactment of Haikyu the volleyball anime with a new soundtrack about Hinata spiking balls with his eyes shut into his coach's face and then becoming between by going into slow motion during the songs and attempting to take his shirt off. Props got brought up for short scenes including a Pikachu with Nicholas Cage's face on it as well as a giant sword (that was also used in Emotional Objects), and a suitcase (which made for a funny Leatherface scene). There was a Press Conference about Christopher Walken becoming the next Batman (sorry Ben). There were Oscar Winning Moments from the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy, a Slideshow about a vacation in the Bahamas that involved Nicholas Cage and a Bellhop who followed a couple everywhere and Dr. Know-It-All appeared to speak one word at a time about how Ligers did their laundry.
Random Lines was done twice, first for entry into Heaven then for Vikings and their magical talking kilt for the sequel to Kill La Kill. Lines submitted by fans that got read in both scenes included "To Infinity and Beyond!", "Make it So!", "Moon Prism Power!", "You are just like Robin to me! The Chris O'Donnell version!", "How Many Ears Do you Have?" (ended up being 3 when in Heaven if curious), "I am the potato sandwich!", "George Lucas defiled my childhood.", "Guess What? I call it the Penitrautus!" (an infamous line from There Warriors Are Terrible podcasts at http://thesewarriorsareterrible.com/...target-london/ who had various cast members there as guests at the convention too), "Just Grab the Barrel", and "All the hot girls in Japan are animated." Scenes from a Hat included people's last thoughts while being eaten by a Titan (how Titans use Crest toothpaste, wondering if the oven left on, there's a ballpit below).
The finale of this show was crazy to promote a later event: D20 Live. So to show that, D4 dice instead of the usual mousetraps were used for 2 blindfolded, barefoot actors to do a scene suggested by the crowd. They ended up going through a field of hot coals with much gusto and bravery.
D20 Live In the Tomb of Horrors (With roughly 500 in attendance who lined up early to enter the Webster Room)
This event keeps upping the ante for showcasing tabletop RPGs done with the guests of the convention. This year's event was done with Roo of the Clan of the Gray Wolf, Linkara & Nash Bozard of Channel Awesome, and Doctor Holocaust. They played in the infamous Tomb of Horrors (complete with the DM and his skull of a Demi-Lich courtesy Featherweight). As they cautiously entered they already got into trouble when they turned stone walls into flesh walls to get in. The rogue of the group ended up with multiple sex changes from a mysterious that included becoming Jackie Chan after being a girl rogue. The ranger had a hawk named Puck that had to do a lot of searching. They came across a green demon entranceway that had no end, even after they used lots of stones and silk/hemp rope to test it. The group did manage to find gold around some pews, and find some mysterious potions in a laboratory.
After many doors were picked open and traps checked for evil, the end came in the crypt of the Demi-Lich. Of all the characters to survive the whole scenario, it was won by a gargoyle they had turned into a fussy cat (with pictures shown on the big screen supplied to show maps and monsters!) with 100HP and who survived testing from a bag of holding, traps and mists. A digital copy of the module will be up soon with other things to relive the crazy adventure, while next year looks promising with the theme of Firefly played at the end.
The 404s Finale (Which included the long form Missing Video Game of Final Fantasy for about 110 in attendance in the Main Stage room)
The show's first half was the usual short scene format. The Arnold Schwarzenegger opener allowed for impressions of the actor giving tag line like "I'm about to turn your lights out." Spider-Man and Pac-Man faced off with the help of Emotional Stunt Doubles. Mario Kart racing battles got narrated in a game of Survivor. There was Sports Commentary given to Extreme Knitting. The Transformers movie got re-enacted again with more explosions and cast additions. There was even another Party with Quirky guests like the cast of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, a gargoyle who turned into a cat and a Demi-Lich both from a certain RPG. More Random Lines got used in scenes about things like Super Mario jumping. Submissions read on stage included "Everyone has superpowers!", "Nothing is sexy at the Walmart.", "Why do they suffer, when the word is inevitable?", "Falcon Punch!", "Team Rocket's blasting off again...!", and "Crazy for Cocoa Puffs!"
The show ended with a lost Final Fantasy at Chuck E Cheese that the fans suggested as the topic, where a band of heroes went against Kefka (of Final Fantasy 6) and an evil barker with evil prizes and plans to rule the restaurant. A janitor whose dad used to work there was the chosen one to lead the heroic band with friendship with help from his boss and an animatronics robot. Kefka kept poisoning and sabotaging them but after many potions and finding the living form of friendship they beat Kefka to save the restaurant from ill placed arcade machines and a tiny ball-pit from a failed convention. Friendship always wins!
Child's Play Charity Auction/Closing Ceremonies
About 30 items got auctioned off for the second year in a row for Child's Play, an organization that works to get video games to children in hospitals around the world to aid in their stay there as they recover. The 2 DVDs and 2 Wristbands went for $25 from The 404s while other items donated by other guests and dealers included a Golden Sonic the Hedgehog cosplay outfit, a sword from the movie Hook signed by Dante Brasco who played Rubio, various books, DVDs, video games and jewelry. In total the convention raised $1440 for Child's Play!
The convention ended with the Closing Ceremonies with a great video of next year's guests already announced that can be found on their website too. A raffle by Cosplay For A Cure for a pink Darth Vader figure occurred as well with the convention giving an additional donation to the total to help the group's goal of helping cancer patients. The Q & A session with fans also gave great input and compliments to the convention for their 6th year coming (they posted below a video with everyone wishing them the best on their 5th anniversary), so here is to many more years of ConBravo!

MONDAY, March 21, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- Children are best kept in rear-facing car seats until age two or until they have reached the height and weight maximums set by the car seat manufacturer, according to new recommendations from a pediatricians' group.
This is a significant change from the prior recommendations, which called for babies to stay in rear-facing seats until they were at least one years old and 20 pounds. Rear-facing seats offer more support to the head, neck and spin of infants and toddlers in a crash, said report author Dr. Dennis Durbin, a pediatric emergency physician at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
The new guidelines, developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, appear in the April 2011 issue of Pediatrics.
Though the recommendations were meant to encourage parents to keep kids in the seats longer, many parents interpreted that wording to mean they should put their children in a forward facing seat at their first birthday -- way too soon, said Dr. Benjamin Hoffman, an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of New Mexico and a certified car passenger safety technician and instructor who was not involved in the report.
"There's been this perception that it's a good idea to move from rear-facing to forward-facing," Hoffman said. "But if parents want to afford their child the best possible protection from the leading cause of death for children, they want delay that step as long as they can."
Most rear-facing child safety seats today can accomodate children to fit the new guidelines, the report noted.
The rate of deaths due to motor vehicle crashes in children under age 16 fell 45 percent between 1997 and 2009, according to background information in the article.
Yet motor vehicle accidents are still the leading cause of death for children ages 4 and older. Each year, more than 1,500 children under age 16 are killed annually in motor vehicle accidents. And for every death, some 18 children are hospitalized and 400 are hurt seriously enough to require medical attention, according to the article.
A 2007 study in the journal Injury Prevention found that children under age 2 are 75 percent less likely to die or be severely injured in a crash if they're in a rear-facing car seat.
And even age two shouldn't be read as a deadline, Durbin said. If your child is small for his or her age, you may want to delay turning around the seat even longer, while bigger, taller kids may need to be turned sooner than age two.
The recommendations also say that a forward-facing car seat with a harness offers more protection than a booster seat, while a booster seat is better than a seat belt alone.
Kids should be kept in a forward-facing car seat as long as possible, even through age 8 if their weight or height is under the limit allowed by their child safety seats, according to the new guidelines. Studies show that the car seats reduce the risk of child injury up to 82 percent and the risk of death by 28 percent, compared to wearing seat belts.
"Car seats have more structure -- particularly side structure -- to them than most booster seats," Durbin said. "This added structure may offer additional protection, particularly in side impact crashes. In addition, most car seats sold today use 5-point harness systems which do a better job of restraining a child in the event of a crash than the 3-point vehicle seat belt, even when positioned properly with a booster seat."
Parents are also advised to keep older children in a booster seat, which properly positions the seat belt, until they're 4 feet 9 inches tall and are between the ages of 8 and 12. The average child reaches that stature sometime after age 10, Hoffman said.
Booster position the seat belt so that the shoulder belt lies across the middle of the chest and shoulder and keeps it off the neck or face, while the lap belt fits low and snug on the hips and upper thighs, not across the soft tissue of the belly.
Prior research shows booster seats can reduce the risk of injury by 45 percent in 4- to 8-year olds compared to kids of that age in seat belts.
"Keep your children as safe as possible on every trip you take by delaying the transitions that you make between different types of car seats for as long as possible," Durbin said. "With each transition you make -- from a rear-facing to a forward-facing car seat, from the car seat to a booster seat and from the booster to the vehicle seat belt -- you give up some protection and your child is more likely to be injured in a crash."
Children should ride in the backseat until they are 13 years old, since studies have shown this reduces the risk of injury by 40 to 70 percent, the AAP added.
The pediatricians' group also recommended that child safety seats not be used outside the car -- as they often are -- since they can tip and fall off tables, countertops and other surfaces. More than 8,000 infants a year are injured in each year when child safety seats are used improperly or for unintended purposes, a supplemental report warned.
"Following these guidelines will give parents peace of mind that they are doing the best job they can of protecting their children from injury in the event of a car crash," Durbin said.
The typical forward-facing car seat fits children up to about 40 pounds, though there are more than 40 models that can accommodate kids up to 60, 65 or even 85 pounds, Hoffman said.

Betty and Jerry Chilton and their children thank everyone who attended their 50th anniversary party or sent their blessings. I know my father especially enjoyed the occasion. Since his stroke in 1999, he has been unable to ambulate very well. I want to especially thank Barbara and Glen Gregory for attending. He too has had health issues in the last decade. Glen has been battling cancer and other ailments associated with this disease but thankfully is cancer free. I am glad he was well enough to attend. Our family received over $400 in cash gifts for Relay For Life.

A light sandwich lunch is served at 12.50pm. All are welcome.
The Oxford CCW Programme is devoted to the interdisciplinary study of war and armed conflict. Some 11 titles have now been published in the CCW series at Oxford University Press, including The Changing Character of War (2011). Based at Pembroke College, CCW conduct research on a wide range of issues pertaining to the history of war in the modern period, and seek to be 'policy-relevant' to more recent conflicts through elucidation, explication and education. In 2014-15, their research priorities are the changing relationship between war and the state, war in a connected world, conventional and unconventional warfare, civilians in war, the history of the laws of war and the moral dimensions of war. The CCW programme welcomes Visiting Research Fellows who wish to contribute to our research themes, and seeks the participation of practitioners by bringing to Oxford representatives of the armed services, of governments and of multinational organisations, to engage in research projects, conferences and seminars.
Information about forthcoming events in Hilary Term 2015 is available on the Events pages. The full term card is also available as a PDF.

Cape to consider utility assessment methodology
Special meeting set for Wednesday
May 2, 2013
Cape Coral City Council will discuss how to most equitably assess property owners for new water and sewer services Wednesday....
1sandy... it is the ratepayer that will vote the remaining two RAGS gone. FYI, the ratepayers has paid for the North R/O plant because the slackers would not stand up and be responsible for themselves. They allowed the mayor incumbent to lead them astray ,when he stopped the infrastructure of this city.Watching him trying to use the same strategy is sickening. why, if we had installed All of the UEP in this town,back in 2008,we may have had a shot at the HERTZ Plant going in Across the bridge.Instead, we get to watch Ft Myers leave us in their past! Vote wisely in September and bring the Cape forward.She deserves the best leaders possible.

Your usual diatribe. Just using the opportunity to throw stones.

Would it be fair to say that when the city of Cape Coral, Fl. having a future deficit of $20 million. Made a $13.1 million purchase of worthless land pulling it off the current tax rolls and used the money from the water/sewer/storm water funds that the current rate payers made possible. When do we catch a break from this wasteful city in Cape Coral, Florida?
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I do not understand the logic behind the statement that square foot is easier and more verifiable.Every property in the Cape was pre-platted, so the front foot measurement is known just as accurately as the square footage. Depth of the property is meaningless when evaluating the cost to install utilities. Front foot is a near perfect analog for the cost. Several years ago, the Council appointed UEP committee recommended 7-1 to change to the front foot method, with consideration given to pie and wedge lots, as well as charging corner lots for their address side only. Sullivan was the dissenter, as he was a nay-sayer on all issues...just like today.
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Just think if the RAGs were still in control the rate payers would be paying for the North RO plant all by themselves. If it were up to Leetz & Mayor Sullivan the rate payers would be screwed. RATE PAYERS, remember them at the polls this election.

It's a blazingly hot and humid day in the rural small town of Albany, Ga., in June 2010, and Ken Bevel is having a very hard day. He's been carjacked repeatedly, each time jumping onto the driver's side door of his truck and hanging on for dear life as the thief attempts to shake him by weaving against traffic at high speed. This time, the truck is about to smash into a tree, throwing Bevel to the ground and forcing him to roll uncontrollably through the brush.
That's not the only high adventure Bevel was experiencing that weekend. In playing a new sheriff in town named Nathan Hayes in the movie "Courageous," he also experienced two high-speed, high-jumping foot chases and a rip-roaring gunfight with two drug-dealing gang-bangers in the course of a three-day set visit by the Pasadena Weekly. While that might be normal for most actors in a film about cops, what makes Bevel's story unusual is that he is actually a full-time minister at the Sherwood Baptist mega-church in Albany, and "Courageous" is more of a ministry than a movie to him and the team of pastors at the helm of it.
But more than a year later, "Courageous" is cleaning up at the nation's box offices, debuting in fourth place last week and earning the highest per-screen average in the country while playing on less than half as many screens as its nearest competitors. While the film's success and that of the three prior Sherwood films — "Fireproof" (which was the most profitable movie of 2008), "Facing the Giants" and "Flywheel" — have stunned Hollywood and conventional moviegoers, their ability to mix Christian and family-values messages into well-made films has created a formula that's quietly revolutionizing the way conservative churches and Hollywood relate.
"When my wife and I came to Sherwood in 2007, we didn't know that this church made movies," Bevel recalls. "We'd heard about 'Facing the Giants' and thought if a church made it, it had to be cheesy or have bad acting, but we were impressed and our lives were literally changed by looking at Sherwood Pictures."
That's because at the very first church service Bevel attended there, he heard Sherwood Pastor Alex Kendrick (who has starred in each film except "Fireproof," and co-writes, co-produces and directs all the films) ask the congregation's men if they'd like to audition for a movie in which they would be putting out fires and sliding down fire poles while playing firemen. He was surprised to find that Kendrick cast him despite the fact he seemed to have an awful audition.
"I did terrible, and had no experience in doing that," says Bevel. "When the audition was over they brought me back in and said, 'Ken, we'll give you the part not because of your acting ability, but because you have a heart for the Lord, and He'll provide everything else."
Once he hit the set, Bevel was indeed surprised to find that he could deliver a solid, wide-ranging performance, as Kendrick's sprawling screenplays tie together deeply emotional moments with highly comedic hijinks and an ever-growing ability to handle rock 'em, sock 'em action. And he's also been pleased to see that Alex and his brother Stephen, who shares the writing and producing duties, are growing exponentially in their filmmaking abilities.
Far from being a stereotypically single-minded, Bible-thumping film of the kind Billy Graham used to fund in pursuit of converts, "Courageous" ties together multiple storylines. It centers on four small-town sheriffs who make a pact to become better fathers after one loses a daughter in a car accident and as the town faces a new drug-dealing gang.
But even as they strive to be better Christians and role models, one of the four apparent heroes is brought down for stealing and reselling drugs from evidence rooms. The overall result plays like the Oscar-winning "Crash," albeit with no foul language, unknown actors and a surprisingly low $2 million budget that manages to look like a $20 million film.
"Even if you're not Christian, you want something wholesome for your family and movies that show a good message, and Sherwood Pictures always figures out a big theme that everyone can relate to," explains Bevel. "'Flywheel' was about a dishonest car salesman who learns to straighten up, and 'Facing the Giants' had a David and Goliath-type story about overcoming the odds in life but was centered on football since probably 80 percent of American men love football.
"With 'Fireproof,' people don't get married to get divorces, and in an age of skyrocketing divorce you want to see a happy marriage," Bevel continues. "And with 'Courageous,' no one grows up wanting to be a deadbeat dad, so this will resonate throughout our culture and beyond. It's incredible to see people in the theater clapping and crying, saying that this movie really challenged them to take it to another level and to bring their families better for the Lord."
"Courageous" continues playing this weekend at the Pacific Cinemas Glendale 18, located at Americana at Brand in Glendale. n

The Bachelor fans no longer have to wait for ABC's official announcement on October 13th as multiple sources are now confirming Jake Pavelka to be the next Bachelor!
Brittany Gammell, a Tenessee native — who says she's been cast to be on the upcoming season of The Bachelor – tells Musiccitytv.com that indeed, Jake the Pilot is the new Bachelor.
"He's pretty cute. I've seen he was on The Bachelorette. I'm not worried about that part," said the 25-year-old Brittany, who adds that the taping of the show will begin Oct. 12 in L.A.
RealitySteve also believes Jake's the new Bachelor, saying Kiptyn Locke was not a contender due to his non interest, leaving the final choice between Jake and Reid Rosenthal. He reveals that all signs point to Jake being the chosen one.
It's a bit surprising to see Jake chosen as the new Bachelor, as I thought Reid was the favorite to win. ABC chose not to comment on this report, but one can't help but wonder whether or not there will be any penalties levied against Brittany for revealing this information, if she is indeed a contestant. What she did is a huge no no, and she basically ruined ABC's big surprise reveal on Dancing With The Stars' Oct. 13th episode.
Tell Us: Are You Happy With Jake as The New Bachelor?

CARLSTADT, N.J., August 29, 2011 - Pantone LLC, an X-Rite company (NASDAQ: XRIT) and the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, and EFI™(NASDAQ: EFII), a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced Fiery® digital print servers and solutions support for PANTONE® PLUS. A long-time Pantone partner, EFI was the first vendor to implement PANTONE Calibration for digital color devices and has now expanded its built-in color libraries to include PANTONE PLUS Colors, available to current Fiery users.
Over the years, Pantone and EFI have worked closely to continually provide designers and print professionals with the best color tools and workflows for accurate digital color printing. Fiery technology, together with PANTONE PLUS, provides the best color reproduction possible from every output device – ensuring that spot colors are accurate and dependable. Fiery servers come preloaded with PANTONE Color Libraries, including all colors found in the PANTONE PLUS SERIES, to achieve optimal output whenever a document is printed.
"Eliminating guesswork and costs associated with re-working printing projects is a key component to running a successful printing business," said Andy Hatkoff, vice president of technology licensing for Pantone. "By incorporating PANTONE PLUS on Fiery servers, customers are guaranteed to get spot colors that are accurate and consistent for all jobs."
"The Fiery implementation of PANTONE PLUS streamlines color workflows for millions of Fiery users worldwide," said John Henze, vice president of marketing for EFI Fiery. "Fiery users get the right spot color the first time without the need to manually determine tint values for matching colors in the industry standard Pantone libraries."
With Fiery Spot-On™ for Fiery servers, users can match color accurately and modify corresponding CMYK values to produce desired "in gamut" colors. Spot-On also allows users to print entire spot color libraries, including PANTONE Color Libraries, which are delivered as industry-standard named color ICC profiles, to ensure users know exactly how PANTONE Colors will be reproduced. PANTONE Color Libraries are used with Fiery output profiles to automatically color manage each PANTONE PLUS Color into the gamut of the Fiery-driven output device.

PA Parliament Member: Trump is "stupid… [not] worth a woman's shoe;" Fatah official: Trump is a "predatory beast"
Official PA TV, Palestine This Morning, Dec. 18 and 27, 2017

PA Parliament Member Jihad Abu Zneid: "This man is stupid. This is the leader who wanted to present himself as a leader, the president of the US. As far as we're concerned he isn't worth a woman's shoe or the shoe of a prisoner's mother. This man was educated on bullying and barbarity.
Therefore when he wanted to give the Israelis a gift [ Jerusalem], we told him: 'You can't give this gift because it doesn't belong to you.'"

HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so WMBF News is profiling two men the Horry County Sheriff's Office says are wanted for the crime.
South Carolina ranks second in the nation for the number of women murdered by men, and much of that begins behind closed doors, at home in domestic violence situations. That's why it's important to help get these suspects off the streets.
Police say on the morning of Sept. 3, 31-year-old Eldred Junior Soles came into the home he shared with a woman and started an argument. The woman says he hit her on the arm with a stick and when she began to call the police, he ran into the woods.
Soles is 5'8" tall, 185 pounds and his last known address is on Log Cabin Road in Longs.
Also wanted by the sheriff's office is 31-year-old Michael David Elsey.
Elsey's former girlfriend told WMBF News she's glad to be out of the violence situation that he was causing in the home because they have three children together.
According to the report she went to Horry County Police to report that Elsey slapped her after fighting all day, and that she lives in fear of him.
Elsey is 6' tall with blonde hair and blue eyes. His last known address is on Cordgrass Drive in Little River, but his ex believes he now lives in the Philadelphia area.
Both Michael Elsey and Eldred Soles are wanted for their second offense of criminal domestic violence.
If you have any information that can help bring these men to justice, contact the Horry County Sheriff's Office Warrant Division at 843-915-8347 or Horry County Dispatch at 843-248-1520.

No. 11 Mizzou Softball Falls at Kentucky
LEXINGTON, KY -- No. 11 Mizzou softball fell by a score of 8-2 at No. 19 Kentucky on Saturday at John Cropp Stadium. Senior Nicole Hudson got the start for the Tigers, but the Mizzou slugger was unable to keep the Wildcats' bats at bay in the appearance. Mizzou was led offensively by senior catcher Jenna Marston and junior OF Mackenzie Sykes, who both recorded RBI singles.
Mizzou went to 28-9 overall and 12-7 in the Southeastern Conference with the result, while the Wildcats moved to 36-15 (11-9 SEC) with their outing. Sunday's contest set at noon will decide the series after the Tigers' Friday victory in nine innings, 2-1.
UK snatched a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning with one runner on first base with two outs. A Wildcat triple to right center field cleared the bases and gave Kentucky an early advantage.
Mizzou fought back in the top of the fourth with two outs. After drawing a walk, Marston waited at second base with Randazzo on first base after a single to center field. Sykes delivered with a single through the left side to bring in Marston, evening the score at 1-1.
Kentucky scored two runs and four runs in the bottoms of the fourth and fifth innings, respectively. The runs in the fifth, scored with two outs, set the score at 7-1.
The Wildcats added an additional run in the sixth for an 8-1 lead with senior Lindsey Muller pitching in relief (1.0 IP). The run was unearned due to an initial error to start UK's chances.
Mizzou brought back a run in the seventh inning with Marston's run-scoring hit up the middle, scoring redshirt freshman OF Carlie Rose, who had reached base on a UK fielding error.
Hudson (7-4) pitched 5.0 innings, allowing nine hits and seven runs with one strikeout and one walk. Kentucky's Kelsey Nunley earned the pitching win (22-7) for Kentucky, throwing 7.0 innings with six Mizzou hits allowed, four strikeouts and three walks.
