Thoughts? Fave tracks?
(I think I'll do these over time for all the albums - as there isn't an equivalent here . . .)
My faves are I Saw Her Standing There, Ask Me Why, and Baby It's You.
I am less keen on Love Me Do, PS I Love You, and Do You Want To Know A Secret, because they seem to just have the same verse repeating all the time.

You can find broccoli rabe (aka rapini) at Central Market on Westheimer most of the time. I've had better luck with a brief par cook, otherwise it's a bit dry/tough.
Maybe not the first go, since it looks like you're set for that, but a piccata-style (lemon, white wine, capers, fresh parsley) could complement a cauliflower pizza well. Perhaps with a bechamel or other white sauce? Though I'd be inclined to try it dry first....
Scott, I think you're right on about Indian flavors
Nodody has mentioned any BACON, gotta have some bacon on there.
As shocking as this is going to sound - and believe me, I still can't belive I'm saying it - I'm finding that there are actually very few pizzas that I really like good old smoked bacon on.
Say 10 Our Father's and 10 Hail Mary's my son and God will forgive you for speaking such, go in peace and no more negative comments towards St. Bacon.............
Had to bust your balls anyway . Not to make this a bacon thread, but have you ever made homemade bacon from pork shoulder/butt? Just awesome. I cheat and use my LT-40 vacuum tumbler and it's in the smoker in a few hours vs 10 days curing. Meat to fat ratio is pretty much reversed. Maple syrup one is my favorite smoked with hickory.Jon
Hey Craig, maybe you could cook the cauliflower in bacon grease.
Maybe we can just say bacon and cauliflower may be great, but not what Craig is looking to do on this pie.Craig-did you try this yet?

An entrepreneur from Portugal has proposed to acquire Qimonda Portugal and is willing to keep the staff. No exact details are clear, but any news is a good news for Qimonda, which faces liquidation if no investor is found within the following months.
Portuguese entrepreneur Joao Paulo Tomas has presented his acquisition offer to officials of the Portugal economy ministry and will now move it to Portugal's investment and foreign trade agency AICEP for analysis, reports Tradingmarkets web-site. The sum of the investment is not known, but Mr. Tomas reportedly plans to establish a Portuguese-German consortium for the transaction and to keep the staff in case the deal goes through.
Even though the officials for Portugal "expressed interest about the project", an investor for Qimonda in Germany must also be found.
Back in March, the government of Portugal, where Qimonda has manufacturing facilities, said it was ready to buy 14% stake in the Qimonda. Germany is also willing to acquire 25% stake in the company. However, both countries will only invest provided that there are foreign investments.
In a separate news, potential buyers of Qimonda, Russia-based semiconductor manufacturers Angstrem, Sitronics and AFK Sistema, denied any interest in the troubled memory maker, which is quite understandable as those manufacturers are focused on creation of custom semiconductors for various local projects, not mass production of dynamic random access memory.

It's In A Book
Walk down by Allen Thomas' second-grade classroom and you'll see a giant paper cutout of a man and an equally large footprint, a large, muscular arm drawing and a Mohawk "measurer." What do all these have in common? They are all part of Thomas' English Language Arts unit on the "Guinness Book of World Records."
The second-grade students have been reading a variety of nonfiction texts such as biographies, newspaper articles, "Guinness Book" articles, and other primary-source documents to identify main idea and details as well as author's purpose with a special focus on the tallest man in the U.S., Igor Vovkovinskiy. These skills have been identified as literacy focus skills that needed to be integrated throughout the second curriculum for the 2012-13 academic school year.
However, nonfictional text is not always the most interesting reading for children and can often be above many students reading abilities. For that reason lessons were created replicating various successful models in the field that used nonfiction text as its core instructional tools such as those created by Greenberg and Carey (1985) and Johnston and Stanley (1986). Similar to Greenberg and Carey (1985), the lessons contained pieces of literature that were intended to aid student comprehension and interest, include photographs, recordings, movies, period songs or music, news articles, as well as timelines and maps. Furthermore, resembling Johnston and Stanley, lessons were created to connect district and state curriculum to improve students' literacy skills through reading, writing and speaking activities.
In Thomas' class, students engaged in hands-on activities after reading about Vovkovinskiy, the tallest man in the United States (7′ 8″), who received free custom-made sneakers from Reebok because he didn't have any suitable shoes to fit his size 24, 10E feet, and for that reason, kept injuring his feet.
As part of the lesson, the students read a news article about him, identified the main idea of the article, watched a CNN news clip about the event, recorded two to three details or interesting facts about the clip, and gave an oral report to the class. Students compared their own foot size and height to a life size cut out of Vovkovinskiy's foot and height in order to truly comprehend his massive size. Students also learned about the world's strongest man and the biggest Mohawk.
"To actually see how big Igor is by comparing ourselves to his cut-out body and foot really shows us instead of just telling us," said Trey Drake, Ring Elementary School second-grader. "When we read we had to find out the main idea and pull out interesting facts about all the Guinness World Record holders. It's easier if you read about it, see a video and actually get to compare yourself to remember what you are learning."

Wrapping up my week's coverage of the IBM Pulse 2011 conference, I have had several people ask me to explain IBM's latest initiative, Smarter Computing, which IBM launched this week at this conference. Having led the IT industry through the Centralized Computing era and the Distributed Computing era, IBM is now well-positioned to help companies, governments and non-profit organizations to enter the new Smarter Computing era, focused on insight and discovery.
|Centralized Computing
|Distributed Computing
|Smarter Computing
|1952 to 1980
|1981 to 2010
|2011 and beyond
To help clients with this transition, IBM's Smarter Computing initiative has three main components. This is a corporate-wide strategy, with systems, software and services all working together to realize results.
- Big Data
The first component is Big Data. This combines three different sources of data:
- Traditional structured data in OLTP databases and OLAP data warehouses, using data management solutions like DB2 and IBM Netezza.
- Unstructured data, including text documents, images, audio, and video, processed with massive parallelism using IBM BigInsights and Apache Hadoop.
- Real-Time Analytics Processing (RTAP) of incoming data, including video surveillance, social media, RFID chips, smart meters, and traffic control systems, processed with IBM InfoSphere Streams
Of course, Big Data will bring new opportunities on the storage front, which I will save for a future post!
- Optimized Systems
Rather than general purpose IT equipment, we have now the scale and scope to specialize with systems optimized for particular workloads, the second component of the Smarter Computing initiative. Of course, IBM has been delivering integrated stacks of systems, software and services for decades now, but it is important to remind people of this, as IBM now has a spate of competitors all trying to follow IBM's lead in this arena.
As with Big Data, the focus on Optimized Systems has impacted IBM's strategy on storage as well. I'll save that discussion for a future post as well!
- Cloud
I am glad that nearly all of the storage vendors have standardized to a common definition for Cloud, the third component of Smarter Computing, which shows that this concept has matured:
Cloud computing is a pay-per-use model for enabling network access to a pool of computing resources that can be provisioned and released rapidly with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.
-- U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology [nist.gov]
Of course, Cloud is just an evolution of IBM's Service Bureau business of the 1960s and 1970s, renting out time-sharing on mainframe systems, Grid Computing of the 1980s, and Application Service Providers that popped up in the 1990s. While the [butchers, bakers and candlestick makers] that IBM competes against might focus their efforts on just private cloud or just public cloud, IBM recognizes the reality is that different clients will need different solutions. Rather than rip-and-replace, IBM will help clients transition to cloud via inclusive solutions that adopt a hybrid approach:
- Traditional enterprise with private cloud deployments, using solutions like IBM CloudBurst, SONAS and Information Archive
- Traditional enterprise with public cloud services to handle seasonable peaks, providing offsite resiliency, and solutions for a mobile workforce
- Hybrid clouds that blend private and public cloud services, to handle seasonal peak workloads, remote and branch offices
IBM's emphasis on IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL), Tivoli and Maximo products will play well in this space to provide integrated service management across traditional and cloud deployments. This is why IBM decided to launch Smarter Computing initiative at Pulse 2011 conference, the industry's premiere conference on intergrated service management.
The IBM Watson that competed on Jeopardy! is an excellent example of all three components of Smarter Computing at work.
- IBM Watson was able to respond to Jeopardy! clues within three seconds, processing a combination of database searches with DB2 and text-mining analytics of unstructured data with IBM BigInsights.
- IBM Watson combined servers, software and storage into an integrated supercomputer that was optimized for one particular workload: playing Jeopardy!
- IBM Watson used many technologies prevalent in private and public cloud computing systems, storing its data on a modified version of SONAS for storage, using xCat administration tools, networking across 10GbE Ethernet, and massive parallel processing through lots of PowerVM guest images.
technorati tags: IBM, Pulse, ibmpulse, Centralized Computing, Distributed Computing, Smarter Computing, Big Data, Optimized Systems, Cloud Computing, SONAS, Netezza, DB2, InfoSphere, BigInsights, SPSS, Data Warehouse, Structured Data, Unstructured Data, Watson, CloudBurst, Information Archive

Pandora Crashes, But Is It Dead?
That's because the company slashed Q4 guidance, citing concern from advertisers over the fiscal cliff.
Of course, this turn of events -- as is protocol -- led Pandora's stock to crash. If history repeats, it will rebound over the next several weeks until something else "bad" happens -- say Apple (AAPL) launching iRadio -- only to crash again.
This is a fantastic day trader's or swing trader's stock. Unless you have a world of patience, an ultra-bullish take on Pandora's future and, preferably, more-than-average covered call writing capability, Pandora is an awful stock for most long-term investors.
It requires nerves of steel and sleeping pills; two things your financial advisor -- even if the little man inside you plays that role -- should never have to prescribe.
It's not dead, but, listen, you either need to trade this thing or own it for another 1 to 3 years, knowing full well that it's a classic case of massive risk in exchange for an only halfway decent potential for massive reward. That's the definition of a highly speculative stock that should comprise a very small portion of your portfolio.
That said -- there might not be a more misunderstood company than Pandora. Last night, I followed the earnings postmortem and not one bit of it gets past the standard focus on short-term noise.
The problems Pandora faces out on sales calls, re: the fiscal cliff, are real. This is exactly the type of holdup the gridlock in Washington causes. While I don't agree with decision makers who use the fiscal cliff as an excuse not to invest in their businesses -- in fact, I think they're losers -- the reality is what it is. This thing puts a drag on economic expansion.
But, that's part of the noise. It's temporary stuff. It says nothing about Pandora's business model, which, by and large, works.
The company continues to pioneer mobile monetization alongside the Twitter powerhouse and Facebook's (FB) emerging platform .
Mobile revenue was up 112% year-over-year to $73 million for Q3.
Listener hours continue to soar, as Pandora now commands 7.09% share of all radio listening, up from 4.32% the same time last year.
Pandora and Music Royalties
The fly in the ointment -- content acquisition costs. For Q3 -- and all of this data is available at Pandora's investor relations Web site -- Pandora paid close to $66 million in music royalties. That's roughly 55% of revenue.
I have published several articles on the fight that's happening in Congress, including, most recently Absolutely Horrible News For Pandora and Spotify Has The Bad Business Model, Not Pandora .
I will continue to write about it, but it takes more than one article or a sound bite to make sense of such a historically-rooted, emotionally-charged and complex issue. It needs to be a conversation. One that requires patience and is comfortable calling it a night with unanswered questions lingering.

What are the best treatments for kidney stones? And what measures to do when kidney stone has started.
Many theories and as many reasons are given, but in most of the cases, cause of stone formation in the kidneys is not clear. Biochemical dysfunction seems to be the only possible explanation. Stones generally develop very slowly. Tendency to stone formation may be hereditary.
Stones may vary in size from sand particles to large stone. Urinary stones may be present for many years and may give rise to no symptoms. When a stone obstructs the urinary passage, mild pain to severe renal colic occurs. There may be restlessness, sweating, pallor, vomiting, frequent urination, blood in urine etc during pain. Attack of pain may last few hours to few days, varying in severity time to time. In many cases, urinary infection is a common occurrence.
Homeopathic treatment plan comprises of :
- Ultrasonography at regular interval of three to four months to monitor
- The size of the stone and
- Movement of the stone along the urinary passage.
- Kidney function tests should be done to evaluate the function of kidneys.
- Urine examination may be helpful to treat the accompanying urinary infections.
- Parathyroid hormone essay and serum calcium level should be considered if the stone formation is recurrent.
Homeopathic Approach
- It is a well-known fact that some stones can pass naturally. But often they may cause severe pain and at times obstruction. But with homeopathic treatment, even moderate sized stone can pass absolutely painlessly.
- Though the use of painkillers and antispasmodics can relieve the pain and spasm, but in the process can actually hamper or suspend the onward and outward movement of the stone. With homeopathic treatment, body's natural reactions are stimulated that helps throw out the stone without much discomfort.
- At times, it is seen that with homeopathic treatment stones gradually dissolve into sand particle s and get eliminated from the urinary system without being aware of it. This can be monitored by subsequent Ultrasonograms watching the gradual reduction in the size of the stones.
- As stone formation is just a bye-product of body's biochemical dysfunction at deeper levels, only removal of the stone by natural or surgical means is not enough. Homeopathic treatment not only removes the stone, but can also modify the tendency to form stones by improving body's natural balance in general, and biochemical dysfunction in particular.
- In bilateral, multiple and recurrent stones, constitutional homeopathic treatment is far-more superior than surgery or any other therapy as it has the potential to help the body, not only throw the stone out but also improve the biochemical dysfunction to check the recurrence of stone formation.
- Surgery can be helpful only when the size of the stone is very large and causing damage to kidney by back- pressure. Even then, homeopathic treatment is of significant importance to improve the basic biochemical defects.
- Constitutional Homeopathic treatment can also help avert the complication of surgery.
- With constitutional homeopathic treatment, accompanying urinary infections are also relieved.
- AND, the added advantage is that with constitutional homeopathic treatment, general health also improves.
Dietary Restrictions :
- Large number of dietary "take and avoid" is known to the masses, but their role is doubtful. With good constitutional homeopathic treatment and proper monitoring by ultrasography, dietary restrictions are not mandatory.
- Increased amounts of fluid intake are advisable.

Kidneys are an important part of the human body. From filtering wastes from the blood to maintaining the blood pressure and red blood cell count in the body, the kidney does it all. Both the kidneys are essential organs and should there be any discomfort in the kidneys, one should consult a medical practitioner as soon as possible. Kidney failure is a common problem in people. This issue manifests itself with certain signs and symptoms. One should listen to these symptoms and act quickly before the condition worsens. Here are some of the signs and symptoms of kidney failure.
Interestingly, in the initial stages, kidney failure portrays no symptoms. It starts developing slowly and steadily causing discomfort in other parts of the body and hindering the working of other organs.
Weakness: If you are suffering from kidney failure, you will start feeling weak. Weakness is however not a symptom which can confirm a kidney failure. Weakness is caused due to many other health issues and thus, you need to verify with other symptoms to be sure of the fact that you are suffering from kidney failure only.
Shortness of Breath: You may start experiencing heavy breathing right after doing some rigorous work. In fact, you might feel shortness of breath or be panting for long moments after climbing just a set of stairs. Shortness of breath is quite common indicating that the body is getting tired after doing work. Such indication, more than once a day, calls for an immediate check up of the body.
Lethargy: While most people, especially the young generation to those in the early thirties jokingly declare themselves as lazy people; lethargy, however, is a symptom of many diseases. Various health issues develop if you feel lethargic of working. Apart from kidney failure, diabetes is also manifested in lethargic body movements. At times, just getting out of the bed in the morning seems very tiring and one continues to lie on the bed even after he/she is fully awake.
Stomach Pain: If you experience pain in the stomach, especially in the sides, then it should be immediately checked by a medical practitioner. Doctors say that kidney failure can bring about stomach pains.
Unusual Urine Discharges: This would include clear urine discharges which indicate that the kidney has stopped filtering the waste products.
Thus, these are some of the most important and common symptoms of kidney failure. If you notice any of these, it is advised to visit a doctor for a check up.

Are you losing your hair? How to tell if you have alopecia�and what to do about it.
Bethany Foster, 41, first noticed the signs of hair loss years ago, but it wasn�t until recently that she was diagnosed with alopecia areata. About 10 years ago, Bethany, who lives in Bristol, R.I., started developing the occasional random bald spot. A small patch would open up at the front of her hairline, then fill in again. Two or three years ago, the process started accelerating. She began to lose the hair from her eyebrows, too. She wondered if it was related to stress or perhaps a thyroid condition. But 18 months ago, a dermatologist confirmed that she had alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss.
�I was always the girl with the hair,� she says. �I�m not there yet with �this is who I am now.��
According to the National Institutes of Health, there are three types of alopecia: Alopecia areata, or patches of hair loss; alopecia totalis, the complete loss of hair on the scalp; and alopecia universalis, the total loss of all body hair.
RELATED:�Thinning Hair Help
The National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF) reports that approximately 5 million people in the United States are affected by alopecia. It crosses all racial and ethnic lines and affects both children and adults, although it seems to affect younger people most often.
�If you get your first patch before you�re 10 years old, you�re more likely to get it again in your adult life,� says NAAF president and CEO Vicki Kalabokes.
No one is sure of the precise cause, but the relevant gene has been identified, says Kalabokes. And according to a 2010 New England Journal of Medicine study, alopecia also seems to be linked with an increased overall risk of other autoimmune disorders.
Alopecia can start with small round patches and progress to more extensive hair loss, but it doesn�t always progress this way. Many people who have alopecia areata even experience the regrowth of the lost hair, only to lose it and regrow it again later. Alopecia areata is often diagnosed by a skin biopsy, although the American Academy of Dermatology notes that some dermatologists may be able to diagnose the disease by looking at the site of the hair loss.
There�s no real �cure� for alopecia areata. But new treatments are evolving every day. Dermatologists often prescribe corticosteroids�either as injections or applied as a topical lotion�to suppress the immune system in the hopes that the hair will start to grow. Some patients choose to apply a hair regrowth medicine like Minoxidil to their bald areas, although they may use this treatment in partnership with an additional one. Another option, according to the AAD, is diphencyprone (DPCP), which is applied to the bald skin. It can take several months to see any effect.
The good news? The NAAF notes that hair regrowth happens for many people regardless of whether they undergo any type of treatment�and it can even happen after many years.
But in the meantime, it can be psychologically challenging for people to lose their hair, particularly women, which is why experts often refer people to support groups or to counselors.
�It is your outside image,� says Kalabokes. �The image you see in the mirror is a totally different person, and I think that�s what�s very hard for people.�
While Bethany hasn�t had much luck with treatments, and her dermatologist says she�s unlikely to experience regrowth, she�s determined to find a solution, even if it�s only cosmetic. She�s taken to parting her hair in a deep side part, and she�s even considered trying to wear a hat.
�I�m still finding ways to camouflage it,� she says.

Here's how RW members rated this race (41 votes).
In short: Good flat course, shame weather was a bit dull but apart from good run!Date of review: March 8, 2011
In short: Good potential for a PB but lousy weather on the dayIn full: Terrible weather for the race,rain, wind and cold too. It was not so bad with the wind until you hit the 6 mile mark and ran into it all the way back with the last 800mtrs a real struggle so fair play to those sub 1hr runners. With good weather this is a PB course.Most of the run was through country roads so not so many cars about.Lots of parking and easy to find.Down side, no toilets, real issue. I was really dissapointed with the momento at the end too, it was a plastic coaster. The weather was a major factor on feeling flat at the end but the goodies really added to feeling as well.Date of review: February 22, 2011
In short: Great training race for upcoming halfs and marathonsDate of review: February 16, 2011
In short: Well done - a good event for a first time promotion and a nice useful drinks mat in place of the usual medal Date of review: February 14, 2011

In short: loved it. excellent organisation - none of the teething problems you often get with inaugural races. marshalls friendly and knowledgeable. would recommend it and will certainly be back next year - a great routeDate of review: February 14, 2011
In short: A good first running of this event.In full: A good event and a good course, well marshalled and well organised. Finish was a bit slippy so could be improved a little. A few inconsiderate drivers on the course, might have benefited from some more Runners In Road signs. Plan to be back next year.Date of review: February 14, 2011
In short: A well organised, fast, flat course good for any level of runner.In full: I got a PB on this by over a minute so the PB potential is not in dobt, the course its self is as flat as you will get it, and the scenery is not to bad either. The organisers done a job well done on this. However the value of the race entry was a bit steep. Date of review: February 13, 2011
In short: Start & finish could have been betterDate of review: February 13, 2011
In short: Enjoyable, despite the awful weather.In full: Very pleasant route from Melksham, around National Trust village of Lacock and back to Melksham along country roads. Undulating rather than the flat PB material described. Well marshalled, although could do with a few more signs (car parks, race HQ, "slow runners ahead" that sort of thing) but well done for putting on a successful inaugral race.Date of review: February 13, 2011

WBGO Hosts Share Their Love of Music and Sports on SportsJam
October 6, 2008. Posted by Doug Doyle.Add new comment | Filed under: bob porter, drummer michael, favorite sports, hosts, jazz and blues, red sox, rhonda, sessions, Sports Jam
Passionate is a word I would use to describe Rhonda Hamilton and Bob Porter's approach to jazz and blues. However, after playing a round of golf with Rhonda and her husband, drummer Michael Carvin, then sitting down with Bob to talk about his beloved Red Sox, both hosts may be even more crazy about their favorite sports.
Check out my SportsJam sessions with Rhonda and Bob here.

maybe that is the whole point of this mess, G4...he has all these albums...with only a few exceptions...who knows who produced each one?
every single one ends up being a paul album. what producer (save maybe george martin) could talk paul into or out of doing something he wanted to do?
and PTP was wildly adventurous for it's time. a paul album with an actual vibe or groove. always been a big fan.

Trifecta of donors bolsters Avera campaign
MARSHALL – Fundraising for Avera's new $12.9 million cancer center took a $75,000 leap Friday, as the medical center announced three more hefty donations.
Buffalo Ridge Concrete, Dr. John and Kristie Frerich and Cattoor Oil Company each donated $25,000 to the Avera Marshall Foundation's Building Hope campaign that is raising funds to build a cancer center at Avera Marshall to be named the Avera Cancer Institute Marshall.
"We appreciate the generous support of the many businesses and individuals who are making donations to the Building Hope campaign," Marty Seifert, executive director of the Avera Foundation, said in a news release. "Each gift brings us closer to breaking ground for a local cancer center for people of our region. Our goal is in sight; we need others to step forward to help make it a reality."
The donations announced Friday come two days after Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center employees and members of the Avera Marshall Auxiliary donated a total of $304,000 toward the cancer institute. The Auxiliary donation matched money raised from the employee campaign.
The Avera Foundation set a fundraising goal this past winter of $5.45 million, out of an estimated $12.9 million total cost. Avera's funding plan includes a $7 million (plus interest) gift from the city previously set aside after the sale of the medical center from the city of Marshall to the Avera health system. The $7 million was earmarked for oncology program development when the change of ownership occurred three years ago.
North Star Insurance of Cottonwood and State Bank of Taunton made contributions of $125,000 and $100,000, respectively, to kick off the major donation portion of fundraising. In April, the Schwan Food Co. committed $600,000 to the cancer center through its Corporate Giving Foundation. D&G Excavating, and the Brian and Kris Gruhot family contributed $75,000, and Lyon-Lincoln Electric Cooperative donated $25,000.
In May, Randy and Janel Wartner donated $25,000; First Independent Bank donated $50,000; and the Knochenmus Family donated $75,000. Swede Home Lutheran Church in Yellow Medicine County contributed $25,000 earlier this month.
The new cancer institute will be an addition to the existing medical center in Marshall and will provide services including radiation and chemotherapy.
The cancer institute's main service area is Lyon and Lincoln counties, but Avera officials have said that having cancer care options in the region will benefit people from Lac qui Parle County to Cottonwood County and from Redwood County to the South Dakota border.
Businesses and individuals wishing to donate, volunteer or find out more information about the Building Hope Capital Campaign for Avera Cancer Institute Marshall can contact Seifert at 507-537-9145.

Welcome to the Lourdes Regional Cancer Center and Broome Oncology. The Cancer Care Team at Lourdes is very aware of the many emotions and feelings that a person encounters when diagnosed with cancer. It is our goal to make your experience with us as positive as possible
Who Are We?
Broome Oncology physicians - Jonathan Kloss, Arun Sheth, and Madhuri Yalamanchili - and their staff provide Hematology/Oncology services at Lourdes Hospital. The new G. Clifford and Florence B. Decker Hematology/Oncology Center is located in the DePaul Pavilion on the Lourdes Hospital campus. Our offices house an infusion center where patients receive their chemotherapy and infusion therapy in comfortable surroundings.

Our oncology nurses help patients and their families meet everyday challenges at home and at work. Our pharmacist and pharmacy staff prepare chemotherapy and are always available to answer questions about your treatment and medications.
Chemotherapy means chemical and treatment and is a treatment for cancer. Chemotherapy may be used alone or in combination with other forms of treatment such as surgery or radiation therapy. The benefits of chemotherapy differ from patient to patient, as do the side effects. Chemotherapy agents are given in three primary ways: by mouth, by injection or by infusion into a vein. Most agents are given intravenously (into a vein). The method of administration, drugs prescribed and frequency of administration vary and will be guided by your oncologist. Most chemotherapy is given as outpatient treatment but certain protocols require hospital admission.

Predicting Side Effects
|Posted by Julie Royster (juliecontent) on Jul 26 2007
|GIST In the News >>
Many patients worry about potential side effects before beginning to take imatinib (Gleevec). Martine van Glabbeke and coauthors published a paper with a math model to predict the probability of developing various side effects based on the patient's condition prior to taking the drug. Dr. van Glabbeke has written a calculation routine for side effect prediction that can be downloaded at the following link on the EORTC website.
Physicians and patients may find this helpful. However, remember that most side effects diminish over time and/or can be reduced by various strategies including nutrients and prescription medications. Very few patients experience side effects severe enough to discontinue imatinib therapy.

Clark Out in Chicago?
Say it ain't so. ProFootballTalk.com is speculating that the Chicago Bears will have to get rid of one of their four tight ends and they are thinking the odd-man out could be veteran and Kathleen High standout Desmond Clark. While it is possible, Clark brings a lot to that locker room and is a fan favorite in Chicago. They are paying the other guys a lot more money but Clark is more valuable than just his production on the field.… Read More »

Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: TGT TASR TKR PPG KMX AMZN
NEW YORK (TheStreet) --Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk On The Street" Thursday:
Target (TGT) shares are holding up well, which is puzzling if things are as bad as some people are predicting, Cramer said. If Taser's (TASR) products are deemed illegal, then the gun makers will pop, he added, which is why he likes retailer Cabella's (CAB) .
Cramer was dismissive of activist shareholders trying to split up Timken (TKR) , saying he's been to its factories and the businesses can't be separated.Cramer gave outright buys on PPG (PPG) and Carmax (KMX) , the latter of which is benefitting from Hurricane Sandy.
Finally, Cramer was bullish on Amazon.com (AMZN) , calling this the "online Christmas." He said Amazon should take out the $270 a share level soon.

Women Undertaking Motherhood Dropping
Once a year, since 1914, the American people have come together in celebration of the women who gave them life – mothers.
Today, the holiday is traditionally celebrated by presenting mothers with flowers, cards, candy and many other types of gifts. But, it wasn't always that way, rather in the early years of the celebration, which was founded by Anna Jarvis, people would wear a white carnation as a badge and visit their mother or attend a church service. The holiday is celebrated worldwide in various ways, on different dates and under many names, but honoring one's mother is a common theme throughout. In the U.S., the second Sunday in May is designated as Mother's Day by Congress.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of 2010, 81 percent of women had become mothers by age 40 to 44, which has decreased since 1976 when 90 percent of women in that age group had given birth. So, with the majority of women in the U.S. being mothers, a holiday held in their honor isn't without reason. And, since 4.1 million women between the ages of 15 and 50 gave birth in the past 12 months, there is an abundance of new mothers to be celebrated.
Ellen Litwicki, a history professor at SUNY Fredonia who holds a Ph.D. from University of Virginia, teaches courses on American cultural history, and has previously taught courses on holidays and American cultures as well as U.S. consumer culture. She is also the author of "America's Public Holidays, 1865-1920," and various articles on the subject.
According to Litwicki, although her book doesn't focus on Mother's Day as it is not a public holiday, but rather a national one, she has read works on the holiday as well as taught courses at SUNY Fredonia pertaining to the celebration of American holidays. Litwicki looks at cultural rituals in her work, and right now she is focusing on gift giving, she said.
"One of the things I talk about with Mother's Day is the founding of it, but then I also talk about how it was commercialized," said Litwicki. "The founder (Anna Jarvis) was very upset about it being commercialized. But, I think it's perfectly good in the spirit of Anna Jarvis to honor one's mother in terms of buying into the larger cultural implications that motherhood is the role that all women should aspire to. In terms of it being a family holiday, I think it's a great thing to honor your parents at least once a year with a holiday."
The commercialization of the holiday becomes apparent when considering the businesses that profit the most, such as floral establishments, in which there were 16,182 nationwide in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The floral business employs 70,575 men and women in floral shops across the nation who will be especially busy preparing, selling and delivering floral arrangements for Mother's Day. Greeting card companies also benefit from the celebration, employing 10,258 people at the 103 greeting-card publishing establishments in 2010. The 23,739 jewelry stores and14,654 cosmetics, beauty supplies and perfume stores will also be ready for a high-grossing day of sales.
Some who celebrate the holiday may opt to instead of spend money on their mother, will give her a phone call or write a letter. And, since 89.7 percent of children lived with their biological mothers in 2012, 10.3 million of whom were single mothers and 62.1 percent of who were part of the labor force, a personal touch to a gift might not be a bad move.
For Litwicki, Mother's Day was always an opportunity to connect with her mother, who she would call or send a card to when she couldn't see her.
"For me it was a time to talk to my mother, connect with my mother and to thank my mother for whats he has done," said Litwicki.

market relationships
To give is to waste?
My friend George Scoville wrote a Black Friday-appropriate post on a problem with gift-giving, which touches on a broader point that libertarians should heed.
A microeconomics paper that's bounced around econ-blogs for several years says gift-giving causes a huge deadweight loss: when someone else picks a gift for you, it may not be what you would have bought for yourself when you would have bought it, which normally implies that goods and services are being distributed inefficiently.
If that's true, then Christmas is a tremendously wasteful institution, within an order of magnitude of the income tax, and we'd be better off giving each other cash gifts.
First, on a technical note, that paper was written in 1993, before Amazon wish lists and social media made it easier to detect people's interests and needs, so perhaps we're getting better at matching gifts with recipients.
More importantly, the paper fell short of meaningfully capturing deadweight loss, because it focused entirely on the value of the goods. Gift economies mostly operate on another kind of supply and demand: the desire for social cohesion, meaning closer relationships with family, friends, and other peers.
This is no trivial matter: relationships with people we can count on make us happier, healthier, and more successful. Anything that helps to build and cement those bonds is valuable, and while some academics and marketers try to quantify that value (it may be more than you'd think), the normal rule is that relationships of trust should not be fungible with cash. All societies have some social taboo against trading off the sacred and the mundane, which sometimes leads to absurdly stupid conclusions, but also allows people to build trust without worrying that anything intimate or of an extremely hard-to-price value (what's the rest of your life worth?) will be easily sold for any of the mundane things that can be bought with cash.
It's awkward when people give each other cash as gifts even if the amount is equal, and gift exchanges in which only one side puts any thought into it show unequal empathy. If you put a lot of thought into anticipating someone's wants, and that person gives you a very generic gift, it's like being put in the Friend Zone.
The point of gifts is to trip a hardwire in the brains of social mammals: cycles of giving and gratitude that go beyond simple reciprocity. When you're trading cash, everyone is acutely aware of the value of what's been exchanged, and there's no fudge factor in the brain for "the thought that counts."
That's something we disagreeable, rationalistic libertarians should keep in mind, because the gift economy is a powerful force in human relations that resists and resents the intrusion of market forces, even if markets efficiently bring us the gifts.

Vehicle Importation
Document Certification - The "Apostille"
The requirement of an Apostille (ah-poh-steel) is an important new development for international travelers. An Apostille is an additional certification that will be required for all notarized documents, including but not limited to birth certificates, death certificates, marriage and divorce certificates. While you may have used original, certified copies of these documents in the past with no problem, that will not continue to be possible.
is an Apostille?
It is a "cover" document that is issued by the Bureau of Notaries in the State where the document was notarized. This branch of the Secretary of State reviews the notarization, checks it against their records, and verifies that the individual who notarized the document was, in fact, legitimately licensed to do so.
did the concept of an Apostille come from?
The countries who are parties to the Hague Convention agreed many years ago to use this vehicle for verification of identity, but the system was never fully implemented. Since the September 11th terrorist attacks, however, it has become more and more important to ensure correct identification procedures are used, and the apostille is now "in fashion". If the country where the document was issued was a party to the Hague Convention, you must obtain this additional certification for your documents. The United States was a party; Canada was not.
if I'm from Canada?
You will still need to have your documents additionally certified at a Mexican embassy in Canada, but this extra certification is much easier to obtain and is not called an "apostille". We are currently researching whether or not we can help you with this process as well.
should I have the Apostilles done?
Now. The process will take a minimum of two to three weeks, and is more likely to take five to six weeks. Then your documents will be ready when you want to apply for immigration documents, purchase property, or take other legal actions here in Mexico or in other countries.
is the Cost?
Each State has its own fee schedule, and the average cost is $20.00 USD per document. An attorney's office can take care of the entire process for you, for an additional fee. You may wish to take care of the matter yourself, and if you wish to do so, contact the Office of the Secretary of State in the state(s) where the document(s) were issued for procedures on how to obtain apostilles for your documents.
if my Documents are not Certified or Notarized?
You may order certified documents from Departments of Vital Statistics, obtain certified documents such as divorce decrees through the attornedy who handled the matter on your behalf. The fees are similar to those for acquiring an apostille. Then when the certified or notarized documents are received, these can subsequently be sent for apostille. Obtaining these original documents will take an additional three to six weeks.
For any legal action here in Mexico, you must have certified or notarized documents. The most common documents needed are birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates and divorce decrees. After the documents have been certified or notarized, they must be additionally verified by an apostille if the document is from the U.S., or by the Mexican government if the document is from Canada.
Take care of this important "detail" in advance so that your travels and dealings in Mexico are as smooth and trouble-free as possible!

I'm so sorry, I thought I responded to your PM. Most participants are making their contributions to the box when they receive it. Aphro and I are both going to restock the box a bit, and then there is only one new participant on the list prior to you, myemmie. If you still want to mail your samples to me so I can add them sooner, I am glad to do so. Just let me know so I can PM you my address.

150 years, One Fabulous Night
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Having a party to celebrate a birthday is not a new tradition, but there aren't many who get to boast of a 150 birthday. At 7 p.m. Feb. 15 in Webb Hall in the Memorial Union, Emporia State's Sesquicentennial Gala will begin, showcasing student talent in the fields of visual arts, music, theater and debate.
Marie Miller, dean of liberal arts and sciences, said the planning for this event all started with President Michael Shonrock, and with a great deal of assistance and planning on the part of his wife, Karen Shonrock. The planning for the event took many months, with initial discussion beginning sometime in the early summer. Shonrock said his goal was to not only celebrate the college's anniversary but feature the fine arts as well.
"We have terrific students that do great work under their faculty directors," Miller said. "This will be an exciting event at which to showcase and celebrate them."
Director Jim Bartruff, director, said it's designed to be a community and university event.
"It's been this nice collaboration between students in fine arts, performing arts, the community, and all put together by our administration."
Some of Bartruff's students will be there to perform sets from the homecoming musical, Guys and Dolls, as well as some sets from students that attended the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival.
But it will not just be the performing arts that will be on display at the gala. Pieces of student artwork will be on display for patrons to appreciate, and the student artists will be there to speak with and answer questions about their work.
Matthew Hoelscher, senior graphic design and painting major, will have some of his paintings on display.
"It's a very exciting thing," Hoelscher said. "I'm really looking forward to (meeting) people who appreciate artwork and will take the time to appreciate all the work that the students have been doing."
Throughout the night, there will be live performances from different musical departments. Gary Ziek, director of bands, said performances will include a flute ensemble performance, a choral student performance and jazz performances by his own students. In addition, he and five other students will play in between the other acts.
Tickets are $75 for one person and $150 for a couple. The fees go toward heavy hors d'oeuvres, a carving station, open bar and even a surprise signature cocktail to top off the night with the remaining proceeds going to ESU's general scholarship fund.
Reservations can be made at www.emporia.edu/150 or by calling the Foundation at (620) 341-6488, but today is the last day to make reservations.

Let's have some debate. We will do QB's this week, RB's next week, WR's the following week and finish it up with TE, Team D and Kickers the last week of August. I will try to lay out some scoring scenerios to use.
1 pt for every 30 yards
6 pts per TD
3 pts for 40+ yard TD
3 pts for running/catching a TD
-3 for Ints
The top few are fun to talk about, but I am more interested in 4-16. Brady, Manning, Brees are obvious.
How do you handle QBs? Go early and get one of the top dogs? Try to pick the guy from the next tier who will play the best? Take the last guy standing?
Me? I put them into tiers. Usually goes the top 3, then a group of 5 or 6, another group of 5 or 6 and then the bottom feeders. I try to wait as long as I can and take the last guy left in any specific tier. If the guy I have rated last in the second tier is the available once I have a couple of other positions filled I will probably jump on him. Never start a quarterback run. And I rarely will take one of the big 3.

One of the world's largest manufacturers of computer components and hardware – Asustek Computer – has unveiled what it calls XG Station, an external adapter that boosts 3D graphics performance on notebooks as well as adds Dolby audio to mobile computers. Practically, the XG Station is the foundation for world's first external graphics card.
Asus' XG Station is an adaptor with PCI Express x16 slot for graphics cards and 5.1-channel audio logic inside which connects to notebooks using Express Card interface as well as USB 2.0. The device also comes with a screen that can display certain important parameters, such as system master volume, graphics chip's clock-speed and temperature, frames per second information, fan speed and so on.
Users who have notebooks with Express Card slot and with relatively low-performance integrated graphics core - which is common in small form-factor notebooks - will need to acquire a PCI Express x16 graphics card, Asus XG Station and, when everything is properly installed, enjoy the benefits of a desktop-class graphics processor and 5.1 Dolby audio.
The XG Station is currently scheduled to be released at the beginning of Q2 2007. A full package will include the XG Station graphics docking station, one Asus EN7900GS graphics card and assorted accessories.
Currently it is unknown whether Asus XG Station is compatible with any graphics card or its compatibility will be limited to certain models due to power and heat restrictions. Pricing of the XG Station itself as well as XG Station with Asus EN7900GS remains unknown.

The President's Statement|White House Fact Sheet
On June 28, President Obama announced the administration's new National Space Policy. The policy articulates the President's commitment to reinvigorating U.S. leadership in space for the purposes of maintaining space as a stable and productive environment for the peaceful use of all nations. Secretary Clinton said:
"Enhancing international cooperation and collaboration in space, both today and in the future, is a critical mission of the Department of State. The U.S. National Space Policy calls on countries around the world to work together to adopt approaches for responsible activity in space in order to preserve this right for the benefit of future generations. Nations and organizations are increasingly using space to create wealth and prosperity, monitor the Earth's environment, maintain peace and security, and explore the mysteries of the furthest unknown reaches of the universe. The world's growing dependence on information collected from and transmitted through outer space means that irresponsible acts can have damaging and potentially long-term consequences for all.
"Along with other U.S. departments and agencies, the Department of State will support this policy's call for cooperative action in several ways. We will expand our work in the United Nations and with other organizations to address the growing problem of orbital debris and to promote 'best practices' for its sustainable use. The United States will also pursue pragmatic transparency and confidence-building measures to mitigate the risk of mishaps, misperceptions, and miscalculations. This policy reaffirms the longstanding and bipartisan U.S. policy that we are open to space-related confidence building and arms control concepts and proposals, provided they meet the rigorous criteria of equitability, effective verifiability, and consistency with our national security interests.
"We intend to promote suitable commercial space regulations, international standards that promote fair market competition, and the international use of U.S. capabilities such as launch vehicles, commercial remote sensing services, and the civil services of the Global Positioning System. Finally, we will pursue enhanced cooperative programs with other space faring nations in space science, human and robotic space exploration, and in the use of Earth observation satellites to support weather forecasting, environmental monitoring, and sustainable development worldwide.
"As long as humankind has dreamed, we have looked to the heavens. For millennia, the planets and stars have been our signposts and inspirations, our irresistible call to exploration and the spark to human creativity. Today, they help us to unlock the potential of our planet and the universe. As a young girl growing up fascinated by the beginnings of space exploration, I imagined not only a career as an astronaut, but also a world in which anything was possible. We must do all we can to preserve space's limitless promise for future generations who gaze skyward."
Read the Secretary's full statement here.
Al-Gassim S.A. in Yemen writes:
Hillary Clinton says, "promise for future generations who gaze skyward." (National Space Policy) If future generations will be gazing skyward without current issues being solved such as Human Rights violations, oppression, poverty, and wars then they would be gazing not ambitiously, but desperately with hope to get out of this scandalous situation the world is in - for those who don't have their rights, or suffer because they don't have access to water, food, and shelter it is a bad place, worldwide. I wouldn't take out the fact that there are individuals who work for a better world, however, big corporations are not of such great aid. Let us work on earth together, of course prepare for the advancement in space and have precautions about vital changes that could occur, but we need to "stand up for each other." (World Voices Project) We people have one common humanity that is not separated by religions, perspectives, lifestyles, borders, countries, governments, or media. There should be a time and place where every individual is independent just enough by having their Human Rights enforced. In the end, how many policies do we make everyday in one's own life, family, and world, but how many wars and issues occur? We need more focus and efforts on revealing the truth and respecting everyone's "mutual rights." Let us not let greed take away the beauty of love, peace, and understanding that is simpler than drinking a cup of water.
Flavius in Virginia writes:
I suggest we get Bob Weir involved in our National Space Policy. He has more experience with space than anyone alive, now that Jerry's gone.
After space, I suggest we have a China Cat Sunflower Policy.

President James Monroe and the Natural Born Citizen Clause
Natural Born Citizen - A Place to Ask Questions and Get the Right Answers
Mario Apuzzo, Esq.
"I received an email today regarding our fifth President, James Monroe. What struck me as being applicable today was the article that was attached to the email. The article was a little biography on President Monroe. In that article is contained a part that included President Monroes concern about possible usurpation in our government. Below is my reflection on this article.
Indeed, President James Monroe, in his First Inaugural Address of March 4, 1817, warned:
"What raised us to the present happy state?...The Government has been in the hands of the people. To the people, therefore...is the credit due...
It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising the sovereignty.
Usurpation is then an easy attainment, and an usurper soon found. The people themselves become the willing instruments of their own debasement and ruin...
President Monroe then stated on December 7, 1824, in his 8th Annual Message:
"For these blessings we owe to Almighty God...with profound reverence, our most grateful and unceasing acknowledgments....
Having commenced my service in early youth, and continued it since with few and short intervals, I have witnessed the great difficulties to which our Union has been exposed, and admired the virtue and intelligence with which they have been surmounted...
That these blessings may be preserved and perpetuated will be the object of my fervent and unceasing prayers to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe."

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
Whittier College math majors graduate with a wide variety of opportunities before them. Recent alumni are completing advanced degrees at institutions that include:
Graduates who enter the professional arena have taken jobs in finance, engineering, business, education, computer science, medicine, economics, law, and the military.
Math major Angélica González '12 spent spring of her junior year studying with some of the most prominent mathematicians in Hungary, as part of the Budapest Semesters in Mathematics (BSM) program.
The highly competitive program attracts math and computer science students from all the top colleges and universities in the United States. The courses, which range from Number Theory and Combinatorics to Topics in Graph Theory and Analysis, are conducted in English by pre-eminent Hungarian scholar-teachers, drawn primarily from the renowned Eötvös Loránd University and Mathematics Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. A semester's curriculum typically encompasses three to four mathematics courses and one or two intercultural courses—all of which, according to the program's website, focus on "depth of understanding, rather than quantity of material."
"The classes were really challenging, but it was well worth it," said González. "A lot of the professors were 'Erdos Number 1,' which means they published with Hungary's famous mathematician Paul Erdos."
Critical to the BSM experience, too, is time for cultural immersion and experiences in the vibrant and storied city of Budapest.
"I had the best time of my life. I learned a lot of math, and Budapest is just amazing."
González' experience abroad definitely influenced her research on the relationship between Sierpiński, Riesel, and Fibonacci numbers that was part of her Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship project.
"My research projected was in computational number theory," explains González. "I worked with math professor Mark Kozek and he was always very encouraging."
Currently, González is a graduate student in mathematics at the University of Arizona. She credits her mentors, Kozek and professor Silvia Vetrone, co-coordinator of the MMUF program, for supporting her research and encouraging her continued studies in mathematics.
"I love Whittier!" said González. "I learned so much and grew as a mathematician. I also learned how to think outside the box and as a result I know how to study when I am not understanding certain concepts."

Pink Floyd is the premier space rock band. Since the mid-'60s, their music relentlessly tinkered with electronics and all manner of special effects to push pop formats to their outer limits. At the same time they wrestled with lyrical themes and concepts of such massive scale that their music has taken on almost classical, operatic quality, in both sound and words. Despite their astral image, the group was brought down to earth in the 1980s by decidedly mundane power struggles over leadership and, ultimately, ownership of the band's very name.

1. How did I get so effing good looking when so many of you are so....blah?
2. What do you like best about me?
3. Do I remind you more of John Wayne, Kid Rock, Batman, Mickey Rourke from 'Pope of Greenwich Village' days or a young Paul Newman?
4. Where would you most like to hang out with me: clambake, sporting event, bar that serves micro-brews and wings? Or, more likely, it just doesn't matter where?
5. If you were dumb enough and had the audacity to try and change one thing about me (secretly so no one would realize how stupid you were) what would it be?
5A. Which of the greats would you more compare my writing style to: William Faulkner, John Steinbeck or Norman Chad?
There. I've contributed to the 5? Fridays and I think it's safe to say that Wabo's excellent idea and thread has officially run out of subject matter.

Does this 9' wood umbrella come with the canopy or just the umbrella and pole?
Last year I thought I was purchasing the canopy and pole, but I didn't understand what I was buying and I only received the 9' market canopy. Now I need the umbrella and pole so I can use the canopy.

Answer:Thank you for your question.
Improvements item # 391402 - 9' wood market umbrella comes together with the canopy and frame and is not or has not in the past been sold separately. Perhaps you purchased the Improvements item # 415328 - Deluxe 9' Replacement Umbrella Canopy? If this is the case, in order to use that replacement canopy, item # 416025 - 9' Deluxe Market Umbrella will have to be purchased and this item includes both the canopy and umbrella frame. It is a different umbrella altogether.

Answer:Thank you for your question.
Improvements does not offer replacement parts for this umbrella. The other option would be to contact Customer Service and if the defect was not caused by the consumer and/or if you are within the returns/exchange guidelines they may be able to assist you further by providing you with a replacement umbrella.
