Dion Phaneuf in play?
Cam Charron
June 24 2013 01:21PM
I generally try to avoid these types of posts, but it seems like a lot of the hockey world is talking about the amount of movement that should start tomorrow if the Chicago Blackhawks are able to close out the Stanley Cup Final with a win tonight.
Dave Nonis said yesterday that he expects to make more moves prior to free agency opening on July 5. As long as Nonis is looking to add his pieces via trades rather than free agency, he's on the right path. There are a couple of good buys in the UFA and RFA markets, but adding your best pieces in free agency is one of the best ways to get hamstrung with a bad salary cap situation. Given how many teams have to work to get under the cap, there are going to be lots of players available on the trade market and in buyouts, and the Leafs are in a decent cap position, even with $3.425M going to Colton Orr, Darcy Tucker, Colby Armstrong and the salaries of Ben Scrivens and Matt Frattin, so they can buy during this window.
I disagree fundamentally with the traits in hockey players that Nonis values, but at least he's looking to add to his team during the right window. There's that? Apparently, Dion Phaneuf is in play.
From Nick Kypreos on Hockey Central:
I hear Phaneuf is in play, that if there's a chance, he's got another year on his deal, I don't want to Twitter world to get it started and accuse me of starting something...
All right, Mr. Kypreos, we won't accuse you. Frankly, it's a good thing that you were able to shout down Doug MacLean from saying something potentially harmful about the "Tyler Bozak problem". The "Tyler Bozak problem" relates to "The Bonnie Situation" from Pulp Fiction in a way. There is a corpse on the Leafs' first line, and Toronto need to clean it out before Quentin Tarantino's wife gets home from the hospital after an overnight shift.
Or maybe it doesn't. Point being, the logic for trading Dion Phaneuf is that he's a year left on a deal and there are some "win now" teams with space that could use him. I can see it. I don't think that Toronto is going to make the playoffs this season with this current roster and although re-signing Phaneuf is preferable to trading him, Phaneuf will have more value on the trade market before the season starts than at the trading deadline.
I obviously like Phaneuf, and the Leafs like him too. The Score reprinted a post I wrote from May that talked about how Phaneuf was a heavy minutes leader in the NHL. He had awful possession stats this season but spent the season against the best competition opponents could offer and with Korbinian Holzer and an injured Carl Gunnarsson. That said, him and Gunnarsson while healthy, in a role that was more consistent with other top pairings in the league, have been successful in the past in keeping play out of the Leafs' end.
On Sunday afternoon, Rimer tweeted out: "Hearing Leafs have had discussions with Oilers about Sam Gagner. Leafs are looking for a young centre and he certainly fits the bill. … I do see the Leafs adding one of Gagner, Stastny or Stephen Weiss. … Vancouver has also has discussions about Gagner as Sam's dad Dave is part of Canucks MGMT."
A few hours later, Terry Jones of the Sun said on Twitter: "Edmonton Oiler GM Craig MacTavish to meet with media Tuesday. Let the speculation begin. Horcoff deal done? Hemsky? Draft update?"
Gagner is a Restricted Free Agent. He's a good young player, with the makings of a solid attacking forward for the next half-dozen years. He had an up and down season and had real trouble at times in his own zone, but perhaps a coach like Dallas Eakins could help him with that, either by better schooling him at centre or by moving him to a less onerous position on the wing.
It would make sense that other teams, such as Toronto, would be keenly interested in acquiring a player like Gagner. In that sense, what Rimmer says isn't news at all. Of course the Leafs would be asking about Gagner.
It's troubling. I think we can all agree that the Leafs need another piece on the back end, but I can't find a recent quote from Nonis that discusses the importance of it. In Vancouver he built from the net out, adding Roberto Luongo and Willie Mitchell in his first summer gutting the team.
The Leafs have some good pieces on defence including Cody Franson and Jake Gardiner, but there are questions that remain. Will the team buy out John-Michael Liles? If yes, who replaces him? If not, who is the extra right-handed shot the Leafs are going to bring in? Will Mark Fraser and Mike Kostka be given the same roles? Are the Leafs going to do *any*thing to improve at that position?
Noted Sulia user Adrian Dater also mentioned a possible centre in return for Phaneuf:
Some rumors today about Dion Phaneuf possibly being on the trade block. If the Avs got him, they'd almost certainly have to deal Paul Stastny to get him – in large part just to make the math work on the salary cap. Phaneuf's cap hit is $6.5 million, just under Stastny's $6.6 million. Like Stastny, Phaneuf can be an unrestricted free agent after this season.
Would I make that trade if I'm GM of the Avs? Sure I would. Especially if I knew I was getting MacKinnon in another seven days. Assuming the Avs don't take Jones, they'll need to add more on defense and Phaneuf would be a nice get for Stastny I think. Yeah, they might lose him for nothing after one year, but that might have happened with Stastny too. I'm not aware of any actual talks so far between the Avs and Leafs on this though. But let's see how the week plays out. It's going to be interesting I have a feeling.
It makes for interesting discussion. Would Nonis prioritize a No. 1 centre over a No. 1 defenceman? This isn't about what the average commenter thinks about Phaneuf and his leadership or whatever, but multiple coaches in the organization now have counted on Phaneuf the most.
Previously, it was François Beauchemin, and the Leafs possession numbers took a turn for the worse when he left, so how could the team handle losing yet another quality defenceman without replacing him with immediate help?
I'd agree that Phaneuf is coming off of a down year, but he had an excellent 2011-2012 and that season was more consistently in line with who he is as a player. If you dispatch him, you'd better make sure you have a Plan A, because the lack of immediacy in replacing Beauchemin continues to haunt the Leafs' defence to this day.
Phaneuf gets a lot of unwarranted flack in Toronto - but I think many forget how hard it is to find a #1 D. You trade him for a C (Statsny\Gagner+) and then who fills that role? Franson? Gunner? Dare I say Gardiner? Those are not easy shoes to fill... Phaneuf is a top 10-15 D in the league.
If you're going to trade a D and still get good value in return - trade one of Gardiner or Reilly. You don't need both....
I'm trying not to be full of doom and gloom, but based on Carlyle's line-up choices all year, and Nonis' personnel decisions thus far I think I'm right to be terrified right now.
If they trade Phaneuf without having a deal in place to bring in a defenseman who's at least as good, they might as well trade Kessel now too.
If people believe what advanced stats say about leafs, then a team tear down and trading away quality players and proper rebuild needs to be considered.
If the leafs are the second worst team in the NHL as measured by Fenwick, who largely benefited from puck luck (a high SH% and great goaltending), have a terrible coach and because of these reason will almost certainly regress and collapse next season then a tear down and rebuild makes sense because the core is not sufficient and competitive.
I haven't seen anyone in the advanced stat community post anything positive about the leafs for next season. It is time to tear it down as advanced stat don't lie. No reason to delay the inevitable.

The Islanders had terrible fenwick numbers until this year, and basically all they did to turn it around was trade a 2nd round pick for Visnovsky. Ignoring how much team fenwick can vary year-to-year after only small roster adjustments would be ignorant.
Leafs bloggers realized that "management is incompetent" articles give them lots of hits, so they'll sell that story over and over again under different guises. The "advanced stats" angle has been getting plenty of attention lately since its easy to present statistics in different contexts in order to support an argument.
And don't forget the Leafs team fenwick being 3rd in the league in the 09/10 season. Maybe we should re-sign Jeff Finger? Wait a second...Colton Orr was in the lineup that year??? Must be some sort of mistake.

Weird. Maybe try a different USB cable? Or test with another computer?
Which is consistent with what I see in Tools > Serial Port. Granted, in the Mac System Preferences > Bluetooth, I've turned Bluetooth off altogether, so I'm not sure why even these two appear. So is it possible that the PDA-Sync is interfering, and if so, how do I turn that process / connection off?

Anubiusâor Anubias Barteriâcan be identified by its hardy, spade-shaped leaves. Reaching widths of 16 inches, the plant has creeping rhizomes that allow it to attach itself to substrate, rocks or driftwood. Anubius is easy to care for and can be easily trimmed by cutting the leaves close to the rhizome.
- Rhizome
- Maximum size: 16"
- Hardy, spade-shaped leaves
- Tank placement: Foreground
- Water temperature: 72-78ð F
- Can grow fully or partially submersed
Note: Plant availability is seasonal. State and local regulations may vary. Pricing may vary by store location. PetSmart stores cannot match the price above for this item. Ask a store associate for details.
Things to remember:
Rhizome plants:Rhizomes are simply rooting stalks. The rhizome should be buried in the gravel as deep as possible at an angle that allows most of it to be submerged, leaving the center of the rhizome exposed above the ground. Rhizome plants can also be tied to a lava stone or driftwood.
Water temperature:Rhizomes require a tropical community aquarium with water temperatures ranging between 72-78ú F (22-25ú C). Use an aquarium heater to maintain water temperature.
Adding plants:Whether you're just starting your aquarium or introducing new plants into your tank, make sure to add only one or two plants at a time.
Lighting:Most tropical plants require sunlight each day, year round. The duration and consistency are essential for plants to thrive. Natural aquariums must be equipped with the means to provide 12 hours of simulated sunlight each day.
Plant fertilizer:Fertilizer should only be added according to the dosage instructions on the label, and only when needed (as in the case of a water change). Plants will grow best if fertilized moderately and regularly after water changes rather than given larger quantities of fertilizer on a less-regular basis.
Fish and plants:Small schooling fish are highly recommended for a natural planted aquarium; larger fish often uproot plants. The adult size and eating habitats of a fish should always be taken into consideration.
Water changes:Test water weekly to assess water quality. It is recommended that 10% of youraquarium water be changed per week. At the very least, 25% of your aquariumwater should be changed per month. For optimal health, regular water changes not only prevent the undesirable accumulation of excess nutrients, but also remove excess nitrates and waste products of the fish and plants.
Aquarium placement:Place your aquarium in a low-traffic area, away from direct sunlight and drafts.
Planting your natural aquarium:
Foreground plants: Usually stay very short and help fill in the front part of the aquarium.
Middle ground plants: These plants grow anywhere form 4-10 inches tall.
Background plants: These are the fastest-growing and tallest plants.
Things to watch for:
- Poor growth
- Brown spots on leaves
- Plants appear weak, pale green to yellow, stems have few leaves
- Plants cease to grow and die off
- Stem plants have long internodes and small leaves
If you notice any of the signs described above, check your aquariumwater quality and consult an in-store Aquatics Specialist.

The one thing you can be sure of in life is that there will be times when you're thrown a curve ball. Something will happen that you aren't expecting.
Even though you know you've got the strength to handle anything that life brings you, you might still be taken aback by an unexpected change in your life direction.
These suggestions will help you successfully handle some of life's transitional times:
- Take a deep breath. Pause for a moment and give yourself time to just breathe.
- Process the information. Next, allow yourself some time to think through what's happened. This might take a few days, depending on your situation. From your perspective, what occurred?
- Talk about it. Call a close friend or family member you trust and tell them about what's going on in your life. It helps to hear yourself think aloud whenever you're faced with an enduring challenge.
- Consider your options. Although you might not be completely ready to move on yet, try to ponder fully your situation and where you could go from here. Be open-minded about resolving the current issues in the short-term.
- If your situation involves an ending of a relationship, for example, maybe you'll have to find another place to live quickly. Could you move in with a friend or family member, at least for now? Ask yourself what your possibilities are at the present time.
- Let your imagination run free. Regard the coming episode of your life as a new adventure and embrace it.
Regardless of what life brings your way, you'll still keep going. Allow yourself time to breathe and take in the information. Perhaps even talk to someone and ponder your choices.
You have what it takes to successfully manage any transition in life that appears before you. Openly accept this opportunity to let go of the old and embrace the new.

P.S this is a UK only topic as it is about British news I not specified in title so I put it here for the record.
This is always good news. Expect your economy to grow even more next year with the Olympic Games and whatnot.
There are lies, damn lies, and UK govt statistics...
As for the Olympics, a recent report contended that any gains from the games will be offset by other tourists avoiding London.

Skip to comments.New Twist in Gun Control Debate: Mom Runs Out of Bullets Defending Kids from Criminal
Posted on 01/09/2013 2:19:56 PM PST by neverdem
Mom shot 6 time ex-convict intruder with all the bullets of her 38, yet he was still able to get up after she ran out of bullets. What if it was more than one intruder? Maybe limiting ammunition capacity is actually better for the criminals and not their victims after all...
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
How timely? Bismarck was right. Providence strikes again!
The communists, er, democrats are on the wrong side once again, way out there on the wrong side.
All of these laws are designed to protect the criminals ( er, Democrats)
He dodged some deadly hits but I bet he had to throw away his pants and undies.
certainly looks that way
You wouldn't happen to have a news link about that robbery, would you?
She inadvertently followed two of the common rules for gun fighting. One rule says you need to create a wall of lead between you and the aggressor. The other rule she followed says that if your aggressors disarm you and use your gun against you it's only to beat you with because it's empty.
She needed a black rifle.
We should pass legislation requiring that each US citizen acquire one.
I wrote in comment# 1: "Go to the source for the under 10 minute video."
There are standard practice rounds, and there are the really special lethal ones used for practical applications....
Regardless, she did what she had to do, and she and her children survived.
Thank you tons.
Adding keyword, "armedcitizen," to this thread.
She really needed much more lethal ammo. I bet it was some of the cheap ball ammo that's mostly good for target shooting. Also, from some of the other reports I've read, it looks like the perp had done some time, meaning he was probably rock hard. All the more reason for a larger caliber pistol, more cartridges, and stronger ammo.
I love upbeat, good news stories like this. Five rounds in the face and body from a .38 and he's still alive?
5 out of 6 in a dark crawlspace. Good shooting!
The thing about revolvers is that they don't jam. You only get six shots, but they don't jam.
Now, if she'd have had a Taurus Judge with .410 rounds in there, this story would have had that warm 'awww' bit at the end that the perp died from the 28 pellets embedded in his face and body.
The left deliberately leaves guns in the hands of violent criminals while taking them from the hands of honest, law-abiding non-violent people.
Gun Control creates more victims for the illegal to prey on.
An armed society is a polite society
All the keyboard commandos can call for more deadly ammo, pipsqueak .410 shot gun loads etc. but bottom line is; a human is hard to kill, especially if they are full of fight and there is a lot of space around the critical points in a head shot. The lady did exceedingly well.
Yes she did. That doesn't alter the fact, though, that the perp was still mobile after being shot 5 times. Had there been a second perp, the lady might have been in deep trouble. I won't say she needs more range time. Her accuracy was great. But she really does need to upgrade the ammo. Hollowpoints, at the very least. And it might not have hurt to go to a semi-auto with a bigger magazine capacity.
Their approach to all this is criminal. The gun was the equalizer here. Why did the guy seek her and the kids out?
If Obama's gun control was in place we'd be reading about a violent rape and triple murder with a suspect at large.
Liberalism is anti-human.
MIGHT have been? I'd say it would've been darn likely.
That FMJ stuff is all most walmarts carry. It is a lightly loaded round, but at least she had good shot placement. 5 out of 6 COM under high stress is better than most cops can do.
5 out of 6 in a dark crawlspace. Good shooting!
The bad guy escaped and is still alive as of that video. She was out of ammo apparently. What if there was more than one bad guy? She'd be SOL. What if it was a gang? She would have needed what the fiends want to ban!
The video is at the source. It needs to go viral!
She needs some hollowpoint +P loads.
Literally every story I read, where the good guy (gal) shoots, the 2nd perp always runs away. They don't volunteer for lead duty.
Oh, s***-the gun I keep closest is a .38-had no idea it was that survivable. That is fine shooting in the dark, though.
Five rounds in the face and body from a .38 and hes still alive?
If only she'd had my 12 gauge Remington 870 TaC X with a half dozen slugs this story could've had a happy ending.
Maybe she and her husband should consider a semi-auto, more rounds are always good. I have the feeling she could handle it just fine.
did every bullet actually connect with the thug?
Some folks just don't 'grok' a semi-auto, but do just fine with a revolver. Concur on the ammo upgrade.
Check the video at the source. Something happened at my end. I don't have time to watch it again.
Totally agree. A .357mag is hard to beat. Practice with cheap .38 wad cutters and load up at home with .375 Glasser safety slugs or hollow point mags.
"Now, if shed have had a Taurus Judge with .410 rounds in there, this story would have had that warm awww bit at the end that the perp died from the 28 pellets embedded in his face and body."
I've read some good ballistic reviews on the Taurus using high end 3" .410 rounds. I wouldn't want to be on the business end of it.
Or, someone may want to use an FN Five Seven with a laser sight and 20 rounds of high end 5.7 x 28mm ammo:
Review with specs and comments: FN Five Seven review Shooting Times
Some good comments here: FN Five Seven review policelink
Your method is exactly the same as mine except that you forgot the snap caps for practicing drawing and trigger control.
I like it! Better than dry firing. The caps will help to overcome any flinching (I'm sure I flinch with my Smith .44 mag).
Yes, it does neverdem. Thanks for this very important ping.
They are going to divide us between those who will register from those who wont
Those who will comply with bullet limits from the handicapped who cannot because they cannot afford to reload every 5 seconds
from mothers who cannot afford using a bolt action and need a semi auto.
Check it out, the age of chivalry is gone. We cannot organize anything against this "POLICE TERROR STATE" by installment.
INterestingly, the only law out there which would be legal to cosmetically (and not functionaly) differentiate the weapons of LE from non LE because of uniform vs. civilian discrimination compliance are not even on the books.
Leftism is defining the uniform on who has a weapon while being in civies.
It is fascism pure and simple, with deceit and terrorism.
You do not know who is the fascist and the cop in your midst.
Thanks for the link.
Actually there is a buck and ball ,410 shotgun round. One large ball and bunch of pellets can ruin your day. Some have three large balls and a bunch of pellets too.
Just bought one on Gunbroker, hope the transfer beats 0bama's executive order.
Exactly what I have been thinking all along. Police Officers had to start carrying different weapons, because the criminals were out gunning them.
So it is with the civilian population. With all the gangs operating the way they do these days, there is no way that a simple hand gun is sufficient self defense.
5 out of 6 connected, but he ran off, drove away and crashed. Cops caught him and arrested him.
It would be fun to see a photo of his new face. Probably no solid hits. One dead center would have sent him to hell. He was lucky.
Perhaps she needs to upgrade:
Good story and effective, but lets not forget about:
Benghazi, the Muslim Brotherhood's infiltration of the WH and our military, Obama's mysterious campaign funds, Green Engergy boondoggles and failures, the ECONOMY...
Anyhow, hope it works for you and stay safe FRiend.
Most people don't realize it, but the Taurus Judge really shines when you load it with hot .45 Colt loads like the ones you can get from Cor-Bon or Buffalo Bore. They turn your revolver-with-a-glandular-disorder into a pocket .45-70.

Miller advocates for the people closest to the area to manage the natural resources which can cost less and be more effective. He draws a correlation from a joint coalition focusing on the endangered species Utah Prairie Dog, and the idea of encouraging local management of public lands.
Representatives from different factions gathered at the Utah Prairie Dog Summit held on March 15, 2013 in Cedar City. Miller said, that the goal was two fold--first, to respect private property rights and second, to accomplish the goal of recovering the Utah Prairie Dog by looking for solutions instead of divisions.
"In a nine-month time frame, we took this challenge literally and provided a solution which would otherwise have cost $130 million and up to 30 years which was proposed; and we did it with virtually no cost, and again, in nine months," Miller said.

So Much Bling!
"I love these flip-flops. I wore them all Memorial Day weekend even though it was a cold 60 degrees & rainy outside. They are really cute and the sparkle is just the right amount. I probably should've ordered the 7.5 & even thought about returning the 8s until I noticed that no stores around me sold them! So yes they run slightly big, but I haven't twisted my ankle in them. They are totally comfortable for anything you would want to do."

Manuscript Collections
Art and Architecture
Original art donated to the University of California at Davis is often deposited in the Department of Special Collections. In the early 1970's, the University Art Department donated several hundred oil paintings, watercolors, etchings, and prints to the University Library, several of which currently hang on the Library's walls. The Department also occasionally receives gifts of original art and realia from private individuals. In general, artwork that comes as part of a manuscript collection is not extracted, but remains with the manuscript collection.
Two collections reflect the research efforts of art historians. Joseph A. Baird, Professor of Art, Emeritus, donated many items of original art to the Library, as well as his personal papers. This noted and popular collection contains research files relating to the art and artists of California and Mexico in the 19th and 20th centuries. The Trudell collection focuses on the architectural history of the Sacramento area and contains background materials relating to historic building preservation.
Private donations range the spectrum of artforms, from the surrealistic etchings of the Doerper collection, to the matted prints of 18th century topographical scenes of England and Wales, to the over 400 pamphlets on paint and varnish materials and procedures. Botanical subjects are represented in the Stones collection of floral oil paintings, the Corti collection of pomological drawings, and the Benson collection of horticultural lithographs.
Commercial artwork is represented by three extensive collections. The Lug Label Collection contains over 3500 lithographed labels created for fruit and vegetable growers. The Counter Culture Poster Collection contsists of over 100 psychedelic advertisements for rock concerts, poetry readings, political gatherings, and other events of the 1960's, mostly in the Bay area. A large collection of commercial photography from the Gabriel Moulin Studio in San Francisco depicts both city and rural life, primarily in Northern California.
Design, printing, photography, and bookbinding are other areas of interest to the department. The Fine Printing Collection includes examples of small and alternative presswork and typography. Woodcuts, printing blocks, printing and dyeing instructions, and design tool construction information and examples of these art forms have been donated to the department.
Collections in this subject category comprise approximately 125 linear feet and date from 1764 to the present. There are no geographical limitations in regard to artist or content, although the bulk of the materials pertain to California subjects. Collections particularly rich in artwork can be found under the Language and Literature and Performing Arts subject headings.

Previously, the fan would be completely silent unless i ran an intensive application (e.g. a game). Now, whenever i start up windows, the fan kicks into high gear within a few minutes even if i am not running anything intensive. It's loud enough to create a persistent noise.
I took off the back panel so that i could clean some dust out of the grills that might have been blocking the fan intake, but i don't see any difference afterwards, the fan is still noisy after a startup.
Laptop feels cold to the touch as well.
Any ideas? The laptop no longer has warranty.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Question,
try by cleaning the cooling system thoroughly, not only the air intake...
maybe the fan itself has noisy worn-out bearings and need replacement...
good Luck... Zehn
I updated to the latest version of BIOS and it appears to be much better. The fan actually does lower in volume now. I guess it was the BIOS settings that control the fan speed...

Given large absolute numbers of individuals with sickle cell disease in Nigeria, hydroxyurea therapy for all individuals with sickle cell disease may not be initially feasible; however, a targeted strategy of hydroxyurea use for primary prevention of strokes is an alternative to the standard therapy (observation) for high-risk individuals. The investigators propose a feasibility study, Sickle Cell Disease - Stroke Prevention in Nigeria (SPIN) Trial, to determine whether hydroxyurea can be used for primary prevention of strokes in Nigerian children with sickle cell anemia.

Further study details as provided by Vanderbilt University:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Hydroxyurea Therapy Acceptance and Adherence [ Time Frame: 5 years ]The primary outcome measure will be adherence to daily administration of hydroxyurea. If adherence rate is less than 55%, alternative strategies must be considered for the definitive Phase III Trial.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Hydroxyurea Safety protocol for Children with Sickle Cell Anemia [ Time Frame: 12 Months ]We will evaluate the use of a standard safety protocol, non-dose escalating, for hydroxyurea in children with sickle cell anemia using a protocol similar to the recently completed National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Baby HUG study, published in Lancet.(1) We expect the proportion of serious adverse reactions, as well as hydroxyurea-related morbidity and mortality, to be very small compared to the benefits. We will compare the frequency of severe adverse events and hydroxyurea toxicity related events that are associated with hospitalization in those receiving hydroxyurea (n= 40) to those who had normal transcranial Doppler measurements (n= 210) over the course of one year.
Other Outcome Measures:
- Feasibility of a Definitive Phase III Trial for Hydroxyurea Therapy to Prevent Strokes in Sickle Cell Disease [ Time Frame: 24 Months ]During the course of the current study, we will prepare a manual of operations and case report forms for the proposed trial. We will also solidify working relationships with our colleagues and collaborators at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital in Kano, Nigeria; and develop and organize all committees, collaborators and study procedures necessary for initiation of a successful, definitive, Phase III Trial.

|Study Start Date:
|February 2013
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|September 2021
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|September 2021 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Hydroxyurea
We propose to enroll 40 children with SCA and an elevated TCD measurement between 5 and 12 years of age in this one arm feasibility study of hydroxyurea therapy, with follow-up of at least 12 months per subject. The study intervention will include HU to begin at ~ 20 mg/kg/day(range 17.5 - 26 mg/kg/day). No dose escalation will occur. Given the success of the first year of enrollment and the favorable response of TCD measurement after 3 months on HU therapy, the study investigators have participants as an internal pilot. The definitive phase III trial will now compare low dose HU therapy to the result of no treatment arm from the STOP Trial.
Drug: Hydroxyurea
Hydroxyurea will be prescribed as an investigational therapy by the treating physician. Recommended guidelines for titration of hydroxyurea to maximal tolerated dose are below. The study intervention will include hydroxyurea to begin at ~20 mg/kg/day (range 17.5 - 26 mg/kg/day). No dose escalation will occur as this dose was shown to have some efficacy in infants with SCA and was associated with rare myelosuppression.(1)

|Ages Eligible for Study:
|5 Years to 12 Years (Child)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria for Screening:
- Patients with hemoglobin SS or S beta zero thalassemia confirmed by hemoglobin electrophoresis;
- Informed consent from a parent or legal guardian and assent of participant ages 5 through 12;
- Successful completion of screening procedures: cerebral blood flow velocity ≥ 200 cm/sec in the terminal portion of the middle cerebral artery;
- Patient must be 5 through 12 years of age (i.e., must have attained their 5th but not their 13th birthday when the consent is signed).
Exclusion Criteria for Screening:
- Prior overt stroke (a focal neurological deficit of acute onset) by history, focal neurological deficit on standardized neurological examination, or concern for moderate or severe neurological deficit (which could be due to stroke) based on a positive "10 questions" screening (an established tool in resource poor countries).(2,3) A "positive" screening is defined as answering yes to any one of the 10 questions. The negative predictive value (child does not have moderate or several neurological impairment) of the "10 questions" is greater than 94% in children (2);
- Other exclusions: significant cytopenias [absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <1500/ul, platelets <150,000/ul, reticulocytes <80,000/ul, unless Hb is > 9 g/dl], renal insufficiency (creatinine > 0.8 mg/dl); other significant organ system dysfunction, or other contraindication to hydroxyurea therapy; and history of seizures or diagnosis of epilepsy;
- Patients for whom hydroxyurea therapy is under consideration prior to study consent/education;
- Patients who have previously been treated with hydroxyurea and are being considered to restart hydroxyurea therapy;
- Other significant organ system dysfunction;
- Any other condition or chronic illness, which in the opinion of the site's Principal Investigator (PI) makes participation ill-advised or unsafe.
- Participants of child bearing age who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not take hydroxyurea. If a participant becomes pregnant during the study, their hydroxyurea treatment will be stopped immediately. The onsite will notify the clinical coordinating center and the principal investigators of the case. The site principal investigator and study principal investigators will determine what therapy the participant should receive during pregnancy that is of standard care.
Inclusion Criteria for Study Therapy:
- Successful completion of screening procedures inclusive of cerebral blood flow velocity greater than or equal to 200 cm/sec measured twice or at least one measurement greater than or equal to 220 cm/sec in the terminal portion of the middle cerebral artery or two TCD measurements above 190 cm/sec within a three month interval;
- Informed consent from a parent or legal guardian for study therapy and assent of the participant completed;
- Participant is able to swallow a capsule as observed by study personnel;
- Acceptance of hydroxyurea therapy for one year. After one year of therapy, the participant will have the option to continue therapy with follow up visits to monitor adherence to therapy.
Exclusion Criteria for Treatment Group:
- Unable to commit to follow up visits for the course of the study.
Inclusion Criteria for participants that are not eligible to receive hydroxyurea therapy, but will be followed for one year (control group):
- Successful completion of screening procedures inclusive of cerebral blood flow velocity less than or equal to 199 cm/sec in the terminal portion of the middle cerebral artery;
- Informed consent from a parent or legal guardian and assent from the participant;
- Acceptance to be followed for one year in the study. Hydroxyurea may be given for other reasons as part of the participant's ongoing care, but it will not be given as part of the study.
Exclusion Criteria for the treatment and control groups:
- Unable to commit to follow up visits for the course of the study.

St. Paul's Letter to the Romans 8:28-39
Prokeimenon. Mode 4.
Psalm 15.3,8
Among the saints who are in his land, the Lord has been wondrous.
Verse: I see the Lord before me continually.
Brethren, we know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren. And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified.
What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies; who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, "For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Virgin Australia becomes the first-ever Principal Partner of the Australian Chamber Orchestra23/08/2012
Ahead of the release of its 2013 season next week, the Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO) is thrilled to announce that Virgin Australia will become its first ever Principal Partner.
This is Virgin Australia's first major performing arts sponsorship and will commence from 1 September 2012.
The partnership will enable the ACO to extend its reach in Australia and overseas through the support of Virgin Australia and the use of its domestic and international flight network. Thanks to the new partnership, the ACO's 2013 season will include a total of ten tours, three more than it had previously been able to perform, and the orchestra will be able to visit new regional locations in Australia such as Mt Isa in Queensland.
"We are very excited to have Virgin Australia as the ACO's first Principal Partner" said Guido Belgiorno-Nettis, Chairman of the ACO.
"The ACO has found its perfect match in Virgin Australia - a dynamic and highly-spirited company with an ethos of innovation and vibrancy."
"The sponsorship will inject new capacity into the life of the Orchestra with an increased ability to undertake more tours domestically and internationally. I look forward to many shared adventures with Virgin Australia." Guido Belgiorno-Nettis said.
John Borghetti, CEO of Virgin Australia said "Virgin Australia is delighted to be involved with the ACO as its Principal Partner and to be associated with one of the world's most internationally renowned touring ensembles."
"As part of our repositioning of Virgin Australia as the airline of choice, we wanted to support an organisation like the ACO that represents the best of Australia and that appeals to a large cross-section of the community.
"The ACO is one of Australia's national treasures – it is revered for the unique way in which it approaches a whole range of musical performances, from classical masterpieces to innovative contemporary projects.
"The Partnership will allow the ACO to extend its touring network, to take music to more people around Australia and the rest of the world – from the main-stages of capital cities through to halls in regional Australia", John Borghetti said.
The new Partnership kicks off with a tour by the ACO Ensemble to regional Queensland in October 2012. A highlight of the tour will see ACO musicians working with the students from the Mt Isa School of the Air. All year the students learn music over the airwaves, but they're travelling hundreds of kilometres to come together in Mt Isa to play with the ACO Ensemble in a gala concert.
Further information will be made available next week with the launch of the ACO's 2013 season.

BLM roads near Shelf Road Climbing Area sustain heavy damage (08-29-2013)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 29, 2013
Contact: Kyle Sullivan, Public Affairs Specialist, 303-239-3861
BLM roads near Shelf Road Climbing Area sustain heavy damage
CANON CITY, Colo. —On Thursday evening, heavy rain caused extensive damage to two roads in the Shelf Road area. Motorized travel on Cactus Cliff Road and Trail Gulch Road is not recommended at this time.
Trail Gulch Road, also referred to as BLM Road 5820, and Cactus Cliff Road sustained heavy damage on Aug. 22. Motorized access to the area will be more difficult and nearly impassable to full-sized vehicles in sections, which could affect hunters this season.
Trail Gulch Road is located above the Shelf Road Climbing Area; however, the road damage will not impact climbing access. Cactus Cliff Road is an administrative road, which provides access to a vault toilet in the climbing area and alterative access to nearby private lands.
"Given the current condition of this road, we strongly recommend against motorized travel," said Keith Berger, BLM's Field Manager for the Royal Gorge Field Office in Cañon City. "Until we can get repairs accomplished, it is simply not safe for travel."
The BLM is currently investigating repair options. At this point, the BLM does not have an estimate on when the roads can be repaired.
The Royal Gorge Field Offices uses wet weather gates at the entry point to several roads in the area. When the gates are closed, motorized access is prohibited. These closures are necessary to reduce resource damage in wet weather. For information on the status of wet weather gates, call 719-269-8500, or visit the BLM website at www.blm.gov/co/st/en/fo/rgfo/recreation0.html.
A slow moving storm cell caused extensive damage on the Trail Gulch Road.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.
3028 E. Main Street Cañon City, CO 81212
