Descriptive Information | ||||
Brief Title ICMJE | Preoperative Folfirinox, Radiation Therapy for Resectable Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas | |||
Official Title ICMJE | A Phase II Study of Preoperative Systemic Chemotherapy (Modified FOLFIRINOX) Followed by Radiation Therapy for Patients With High Risk Resectable and Borderline Resectable Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas | |||
Brief Summary | The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if a chemotherapy combination called modified Folfirinox (or mFolfirinox), followed by a combination of gemcitabine and radiation therapy, followed by surgery, can help to control pancreatic cancer. The safety of this treatment will also be studied. mFolfirinox consists of 5-FU, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. These 3 drugs, along with gemcitabine, are each designed to block the growth of cancer cells, which may lead to cancer cell death. |
Detailed Description | Study Drug Administration: You will receive up to 3 phases of study therapy: the systemic chemotherapy phase, the chemoradiation phase, and surgery, if possible. During the systemic chemotherapy phase, you will receive mFolfirinox 1 time every 2 weeks (Weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11) for 12 weeks. You will receive oxaliplatin by vein over a 2-hour period. After receiving oxaliplatin, you will receive irinotecan by vein over a 90-minute period. After receiving irinotecan, you will then receive 5-FU through a portable pump for the next 46 hours. You will take the portable pump home with you and will receive instructions on how to use it. You will begin receiving chemoradiation within 6 weeks after you have finished receiving the Week 11 dose of mFolfirinox. However, you will not begin receiving it until you have recovered from side effects of the chemotherapy. During the chemoradiation phase, you will receive gemcitabine over about 35 minutes 1 time each week for 5 weeks. You will also receive radiation therapy 5 days a week (Monday through Friday) for 5 1/2 weeks (a total of 28 treatments). If you miss any of the days of radiation, they will be made up at the end of treatment so that you will receive the full amount of radiation. You will be given a separate consent form that explains the radiation procedure and the risks it may present. After the chemoradiation phase, you will not receive any treatment for 4-6 weeks so your body can recover. If after this time the disease has not gotten worse or spread to other parts of the body, you will have surgery to try to remove the tumor. You will be given a separate consent form for the surgery that describes how it is performed and its risks. If the disease has gotten worse or spread to other parts of the body, you will not be able to have surgery. The study doctor will discuss other therapy options with you. Study Visits: At Weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 of the systemic chemotherapy phase:
Within 4 weeks before beginning the chemoradiation phase:
At Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the chemoradiation phase:
About 4 to 6 weeks after you complete the chemoradiation phase:
If you are eligible to have surgery after the chemoradiation phase, the following tests and procedures will also be performed:
Length of Study: You will receive study treatment over the course of up to 30 weeks. You will be taken off study if the disease gets worse, the study doctor thinks it is in your best interest, or if you do not follow the study directions. You may choose to stop receiving the study treatment at any time. If you choose to stop, you should tell the study doctor or a member of the staff right away. They will make sure that proper procedures are followed and a final visit will be scheduled for your safety. Follow-up: Blood (about 2 teaspoons) will be collected for CTC testing 2-3 months after your surgery, if you were one of the first 30 participants enrolled in the study. You will have a CT or MRI scan of the abdomen and pelvis every 4 months for 2 years to check the status of the disease. This is an investigational study. 5-FU, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and gemcitabine are each FDA approved and commercially available to treat different types of cancer:
The use of these 4 drugs together and in combination with radiation therapy for the treatment of pancreatic cancer is investigational. Up to 33 patients will be enrolled in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson. |

General Things About Royals
I have several questions that don't seem to fit anywhere else.
What is the difference between Her Royal Highness, Her Serene Highness and Her Highness? Which royals still provide true dowries? What types of items go in a dowry? If royals marry commoners, what is the highest title the commoner can attain? If a Prince marries and later becomes King, does his bride change titles as well? Do royals always have to pass the crown to the eldest child in line or can they make a choice? Are most royals figureheads or do they actually rule? (i.e Parliament, councils, etc).:confused: |
De-Ranking a Queen
I just read on one of the threads that Juliana's birthday is coming up. It calls her Princess (former Queen). How do you get demoted from Queen?:eek:
Order by abbreviation... HIH HRH HGDH HSH HH "MII" |
As such, she became Her Royal Highness the Princess Juliana Emma Louise Wilhelmina van Oranje-Nassau. HRH then held this title until her passing in 2004. "MII" |
I have a question about (Her Highness) princess Alexandra of Denmark. Has she ever been called "Her Royal Highness"? I thought that maybe she lost that title after the divorce...
Royal Titles
Thank you for so many great enlightening answers. Three more.
Why is Prince Philip of England a Prince instead of King Consort? If Queen Elizabeth steps down, what will her title and his title become? Can she pass Charles and give the throne to William? :confused: |
In the unlikely event of the Queen stepping down, any title apart from Duchess of Edinburgh would be between her and her successor. The Monarch does not determine the succession; the rules are laid down in the Act of Settlement which states that the most senior Protestant descendant of the Electress Sophia of Hanover will succeed to the throne. After Elizabeth II that is the Prince of Wales, followed by William and Harry, then the Duke of York etc etc. The Act of Settlelement can only be changed by the Parliament. |
Wow Warren, now I know why you are called Super Moderator. Where do you find all that info??:p
Please correct my ignorance if applicable And sorry absolutely had to get rid of the suggestion to post :p |
It's silly really. Why should a queen be outranked by a king? Because that's how it has to be, since a king's wife becomes queen but a queen's husband can't become a king. The husband of the legendary queen Victoria of England was known as prince Albert, not king Albert. And the current English queen Elizabeth's husband is known as prince Philip, not as king Philip. And it's the same thing in Denmark. Queen Margarethe's husband is known as prince Henry, not as king Henry. And when/if our Swedish crown princess Victoria gets married, her husband will not be king either, right? But why can't the titles of queen and king be equal, so that the monarch couple always are king and queen, no matter who was the one to inherit the crown?
Royal Titles
Furienna, sounds like a good plan. I wonder why K&Q can't be called same even if only one is in power. Anybody got the answer?
It's probably an old-fashioned thing. Back in the day, a man always had higher rank than a woman, so a king always had higher rank than a queen. So to emphasize, that a queen was the monarch, her husband had to remain a prince, so that she could keep her high rank. It shouldn't have to be so today though. I hope future ruling queens can call their husbands kings, not princes.
Until then what is the need to change something which only affects individuals titles as opposed to their lives (ie. when a younger brother ascends to the throne over an older sister)? EDIT: Although maybe someday in the near future? Re-reading info on the Belgium Royal Family Prince Lorenz was created a Prince of Belgium in 1995, a first step? |
Archduke Lorenz, whether because he had earned his stripes or to tidy things up, was made a Prince of Belgium by King Albert four years later. |
I have a question about Prince Philip that I've been wanting to find the answer out for a while: how is he related to the Greek royal family???
Thanks to anyone who can explain! |
Prince Philip's father was a son of a Greek Monarch. George I, I think. This in turn makes him second cousins once removed to Constantine II. The lines look like this:
George--Constantine I--Paul--Constantine II George--Andrew--Philip |

WebReference.com - Chapter 7 of XML for ASP.NET Developers, from Sams Publishing (6/13)
[previous] [next] |
XML for ASP.NET Developers
Lines 2326:
23: <xsl:if test="count(//golfer) > 0">
25: <xsl:value-of select="count(//golfer)"/>
26: </xsl:if>
This portion of the XSLT document shows how the xsl:if
element can
be used to test a particular condition. In this case, an XSLT function named
is used. This function takes an XPath statement as input and
returns the number of nodes as output. You'll learn more about XSLT
functions in the next section.
The xsl:if
element must have an attribute named test
, which
converts a valid XPath statement to a Boolean. In this case, the test checks to
see whether the number of golfer nodes exceeds the value of 0. If the test
returns true
, the content (referred to as the template body) between
the xsl:if
start and end tags is processed.
Line 25 contains the xsl:value-of
element, which is used frequently
in XSLT documents to write out the value of a particular node to the result
tree. This element must contain an attribute named select
. The value of
the attribute must contain a valid XPath expression. The node (or nodes)
returned by the expression is converted to a string. In this case, the number of
nodes within the XML document is returned and placed in the
result tree structure.
The xsl:value-of
element may optionally include an attribute named
that is useful when characters such as
or >
need to be output without being escaped by using
or >
. The attribute accepts a value of
or no
. Using it is especially useful when an XML element
contains HTML tags that need to be written to the result tree structure without
escaping the brackets.
Line 30:
30: <xsl:apply-templates/>
The xsl:apply-templates
element provides a way to call templates
that may match with other items contained in the source XML document. Before
explaining what this element does in more detail, it's appropriate to
introduce a term called the context node. The context node is defined as
the source document node currently being processed by the XSLT processor as
specified by a template. Because we are processing the document node in the
current template, that node is considered the context node. Obviously, many
other elements are below this node, including golfers
that may also have templates associated with them. By using
the XSLT code is saying (in more human terms),
"Find all templates that match with child elements of the current node (the
context node) and go out and process them." The first child node that will
be found is the root node of the source document (golfers
). The
template that matches up with it is described next.
Lines 3436:
34: <xsl:template match="golfers">
35: <xsl:apply-templates select="golfer"/>
36: </xsl:template>
The golfers
node in the source XML document matches up with the
template defined in these lines of the XSLT document. As the XSLT processor is
attempting to match templates with nodes in the XML document, any node with a
name of golfers
will automatically be processed by this template.
Within the template, you'll notice that the content is very sparse, except
for the inclusion of an xsl:apply-templates
element. With the context
node now being the golfers
node, calling xsl:apply-templates
will send the processor looking for templates that match up with child nodes of
the golfers
You'll notice that line 30 includes an attribute named select
that applies to the xsl:apply-templates
element. This attribute accepts
a valid XPath expression as a value. In this case, it selects a template that
matches up with a node named golfer
. Because the golfers
contains golfer
nodes only as children, including this attribute is
unnecessary and is shown only to exemplify its use. If, however, the
node contained child nodes other than the golfer
and we wanted the golfer
node template to be processed first, the
inclusion of the select
attribute would be more appropriate. This will
become more clear as the next template is discussed.

This template does the bulk of the work in Listing 7.4 by matching up with
all golfer
nodes in the source XML document. When the template is
processed, the shell structure for an HTML table is written out. This table will
be used to present all the information about a specific golfer. Line 40 uses the
and provides a pattern for the template that should
be called by using the select
attribute. By providing a pattern equal
to name
, only a template that matches up with the pattern will be
processed. Why didn't we simply call xsl:apply-templates
and not
worry about which of the context node's child node templates were called?
The answer is that we want to ensure that the template with a pattern matching
the name
child node is processed before any other children of the
context node (golfer
, in this case).
After the template matching the name
node is called, processing will
be done on that template and then return to the golfers
Specifically, the XSLT processor will jump back to the next statement in the
template that immediately follows the call to
<xsl:apply-templates select="name"/>
Lines 4674 exhibit several of the XSLT elements shown earlier in Table
7.1. To start things off, line 46 contains an xsl:attribute
named style
. This XSLT element adds a style attribute to the
tag in line 45. The value of the attribute is dynamically
assigned based on a series of conditional tests. To accomplish the tests, the
, xsl:when
, and xsl: otherwise
elements are
used. These elements function in a manner similar to the switch
, and default
keywords used when coding a switch statement
in C#.
The conditional test starts with the xsl:choose
element. It can be
followed by as many xsl:when
elements, as needed. The xsl:when
element must contain a mandatory attribute named test
that contains the
expression to test. If the test returns true
, the content between the
starting and ending tags will be assigned to the value of the
attribute. The test performed in line 48 checks to see whether an
attribute of the context node (remember that the context node is golfer
at this point) named skill
has a value equal to excellent
. If
it does, the style
attribute will have a value of
. Assuming the skill attribute does have
a value of excellent
, the actual structure added on completion of the
block testing will be the following:

If the first xsl:when
returns false
, testing will continue
down the line. If no xsl:when
tests return true
, the
block will be hit and the style
attribute will
be assigned a value of color:#000000;
(lines 5759).
After the style
attribute has been added to the
tag, processing continues with line 62, which adds the value of the
attribute to the table column by using the xsl:value-of
element discussed earlier. Lines 6494 continue to add additional columns
to the table and write out the value of attributes found on the context node
(the golfer
When processing in the golfers
template completes, the
element is again used along with a select
attribute that points to a template pattern of favoriteCourses
96). This template will be discussed later.
Lines 100107:
100: <xsl:template match="name">
101:

102:
103: <xsl:value-of select="firstName"/>
104: <xsl:value-of select="lastName"/>
105:
106:

107: </xsl:template>
The template declaration shown in line 100 matches up with all name
nodes found within the XML document. This template is called from within the
template discussed earlier (see line 40). Processing of the
template is limited to writing out a new row in the table (line 101) followed by
a column containing the values of the firstName
and lastName
elements. These values are written to the result tree by using the
element(lines 103 and 104).
Lines 108127:
108: <xsl:template match="favoriteCourses">
109: <xsl:apply-templates/>
110: </xsl:template>
111: <xsl:template match="course">
112: <xsl:call-template name="writeComment"/>
113:

114:
115: <xsl:value-of select="@city"/>
116:
117:
118: <xsl:value-of select="@state"/>
119:
120:
121: <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
122:
123:

124: </xsl:template>
125: <xsl:template name="writeComment">
126: <xsl:comment>List Course Information</xsl:comment>
127: </xsl:template>
The template matching favoriteCourses
contains no functionality
other than to call xsl: apply-templates
. This is because it contains no
attributes and acts only as a parent container element. Because the
node contains only child nodes named course
calling xsl:apply-templates
will result in only one template match.
Processing within the template that matches the course
nodes is
limited to adding a new row (line 113) with columns containing the values for
attributes named city
, state
, and name
. Each course
node found within the source XML document will be matched with this template and
the appropriate attribute values will be written out.
Line 112 introduces a new XSLT element that hasn't been covered to this
point. The xsl:call-template
element can be used to call a template in
a similar manner as calling a function within C# or VB.NET. Calling a template
in XSLT is accomplished by identifying the name of the template to call via a
attribute. The template that is called must, in turn, have a
matching name attribute as shown in line 125.
Calling templates can be useful when a template doesn't match up with a
given node in an XML document but needs to be accessible to process commonly
used features or perform calculations. For example, if your XSLT code needs to
walk through a list of pipe-delimited strings, a template can be called
recursively until each piece of data within the string has been processed.
You'll see a concrete example of using the xsl:call-template
element in conjunction with the xsl:with-param
and xsl:param
elements toward the end of this chapter.
Line 128:
128: </xsl:stylesheet>
The XSLT language follows all the rules outlined in the XML specification. As
such, the xsl:stylesheet
element must be closed.
This example has shown how you can use some of the main elements found in the XSLT specification. For more information on some of the other elements not covered in the previous example, refer to the XSLT version 1.0 specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC- xslt-19991116) or pick up a copy of a book titled XSLT Programmer's Reference (ISBN 1-861003-12-9).

Yahoo Japan buys Community Factory for $12.8 million, furthering its mobile push
- 0
Yahoo Japan, the Yahoo Inc. subsidiary, has furthered its mobile ambitions after it announced the $12.8 million (1 billion yen) acquisition of Tokyo-based mobile content firm Community Factory, as Japanese tech blog Asiajin reports.
The deal is a rare example of a big company acquisition in the country, as Asiajin notes, and, for its investment, Yahoo Japan will get its hands on Instagram-like Decopic, which boasts 7 million iOS and Android users, 6-million user strong Mixi client Kentei and more.
"This event was off the charts"
Gary Vaynerchuk was so impressed with TNW Conference 2016 he paused mid-talk to applaud us.
Home-grown Facebook rival Mixi is the largest Community Factory investor, by virtue of the 40 percent that its Mixi Fund — set up to promote and encourage Web startups in Japan — holds.
Yahoo Japan is quite a different entity from its parent Yahoo Inc., which was said to be pursuing a sale of its 35 percent share of the Japan-based company. Despite increased optimism following the appointment of Marissa Mayer, Yahoo Inc. has struggled while Yahoo Japan continues to march on as a key Internet player in the country.
Its Yahoo Japan Web portal is the country's most visited site, according to Alexa, while mobile accounts for an impressive 20 percent of its monthly page views (PDF).
This year it has increased its focus on mobile — with smartphone adoption growing in Japan — and it has a browser for Android, having added its own app store for the Google-owned mobile platform in 2011.
New CEO Manabu Miyasaka has been behind the charge, and he has publicly stated his intention to strengthen the company's mobile and social footprints, making Community Factory an ideal acquisition.
Yahoo Japan has actually followed Mixi's lead, setting up its own fund to invest in Web startups last week. The initiative has a reported war-chest of $12.8 million, but it is not related to today's news.

I got this from Tanga.com for $17+shipping. It is SUPER HANDY because you don't need to worry about charging it or bringing a tiny dongle. Like if you have more than 1 laptop bag, or you decide to run out with your laptop and leave your bag behind at home/car/dorm/cubicle/etc. It also looks really cool when people see you pull out something from your laptop and use it like a mouse. You do need to have Bluetooth on your laptop to use it.
If you work in the office and pull this out, there is a mode switch under the mouse that lets you use it like a presenter remote. It also has a laser button. BUILT-IN LASER POINTER! Battery life is fantastic. I've been able to use it for 2-3 days at a time without having to pop it back into my laptop to charge.
This mouse doesn't have a scroll wheel. Instead, it's a touch surface that your move your finger over. The CON is that it is really sensitive. Some people might argue that the size is too small or not shaped like a mouse which is also a CON. I have big hands though, and for something that hides in my laptop and is ready to go whenever I need it, it's a welcome compromise.

bodyshop cost for welding
I just had a bodyshop estimate my car to get it to primer, which includes welding in new quarters (already have them), straightening the back panel between the taillights, welding the trunk pan in completely, and welding the lap welds underneath the car in. The estimate is $3000 to do that, is that reasonable?
Sponsored Links | |||
I'd say it's not out of line.. to do a quarter panel, well roughly just taking the old one off and putting a new one on, and getting it in primer usually goes for around 14hrs each panel. so for 2 is 28hrsx50= 1400.00 then you add in the trunk work, materials which can add up fast, plus whatever little repair work is needed along the way.. yeah I'd say thats fair.. for the price I would like to see professional work done though.. so if that's what your assuming your getting, i'd say your good to go..
Well If i gave him a estimate it would be in that area. But that's just a rough guess by explanation, which I normally wouldn't do, but also keep in mind if there is more rust repair involved the estimate might fluctuate some,, such as needing repair to the inner quater or replacement and anny patch work that might come up..
I agree with you,, just trying to do the best I can withnot seeing it.. If he could get good pics would help.. it'll help to get a better idea.
here is a bunch of photos I've taken, I hope that helps! My city isn't terribly big and there are only so many shops that do work on older cars, most just do insurance only. I don't have a lot of options, in fact, I've narrowed it down to TWO. The rest of the shops seem questionable, I don't want a job I'm paying for that I could do myself, I want quality work that isn't going to have rust creeping in in 5 years and if I find something wrong that is the shops fault, the shop I take it to better redo it for free and with a smile. Of course I am on a budget, I will do some minor hole patch welding myself, like the door sill chrome hole filling, the 3 holes where the metal rusted through around the rear window, door reskinning, etc. Yeah so if $3000 american (3500cdn) seems reasonable for what I stated above, awesome, if its too much..maybe I should find someone else? So far I've gotten one solid estimate and getting the other tomorrow. Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it! Last edited by Johnny Bravo; 02-10-2006 at 08:20 PM. |
No prob,, i'm on the run i'lll loook at your pics later, but just to warn you.. most shops won't warranty rust.. just a heads up..

I find it hard to believe they both warrenty rust work for 10 years. Majority of shops won't take it, and the ones that do normally won't put a warrenty on it, even if they do all the correct steps to protect against corrosion. Most places certified through one of the paint companys will put a lifetime warrenty on the paint for certain things, but rust is not in the warrenty. And please be respectfull to board members. I don't know how many people milo has helped out and explained things with pictures. I don't believe he was being disrespectfull towards you, but when you said five years or they better fix if for free with a smile, not common if its rust repair, its not something most shops warrenty.

I really find it hard to believe that anyone will give an guarantee on rust repairs. Most shops in this area have signs that say otherwise, that is if they will do rust repairs at all.

Can I get away with this with my surname?
(26 Posts)Hi all,
Preggers with dc1 and considering names. Both dh and I both really like the name Robyn/ Robin for a girl, but our surname is Williams. Is that a definite no go? Honest opinions appreciated!
Its a little strange for people of our generation... But I doubt any of the kids that will be friends with your DC will know who he is to be honest.
Choosing a name, well there is always a compromise somewhere!
I don't think it's a problem.
If you are worried about Robbie Williams-the names aren't exactly the same.
If you are worried about Robin Williams the actor, he'll be about 60ish ?years older than her, and not around when she is an adult.
If be more worried about the Robbie Williams sound a like than Robin Williams.
Wouldn't worry at all.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
i wouldn't - his films will live on. think people will remember him much more than robbie, long term.
I wouldn't personally.
I wouldn't.
I wouldn't use Robin/Robyn with your surname.
I'm not sure if I would but I agree with gunty. It's a great name, if you love it, do it!
I named my son James Brown. I didn't think anyone in his age group would be aware of the the famous JB. I was wrong. However, James loves his name and all his friends think it's cool
I definitely wouldn't do this! Robyn/robin is a nice name but I bloody hate Robin Williams (not keen on Robbie Williams either for that matter) and I definitely think they are way too well known.
That said I went to school with a Julia Roberts so some people obviously don't mind using a full name the same as a celebrity.
I vote no
what about using Robin as a middle name?
Tbh I am inclined to say no (some things just aren't meant to be!) as I think it would be a bit strange, but dh doesn't see the problem!
Don't do it.
(Robin Williams will never be as cool as James Brown!)
I went to school with a Paul McCartney. Born late 60s so the Beatles would have been at the height of their fame, but apparently his mum and dad thought they were just a band of their time and in five or ten years' time no one would remember them
I wouldn't.
I wouldn't. Julia Roberts is a woman, but if I were naming a girl I wouldn't want her to have the same name as two famous men. It wouldn't be the end of the world, but just, I wouldn't do it.
Namechanger, Julia Roberts only came into the public eye about 1993 so unless your friend from school was named (and obviously born) after 1993 I guess in her case it just happened. It's possible that your friend is only 20 but for some reason I expect the friends of mumsnetters to be a little older!?
Breathing, Julia Roberts wasn't really a friend of mine, just a girl in the school in a lower year. I was born in 86 so possibly this girl was coincidentally named that before Julia Roberts was famous then, not sure!
I wouldn't personally - just because if introduced to someone with the name of a 'famous person', I always have to bite my lip not to say 'Oh, like the actor/comedian/etc?' - and that must get bloody annoying for the person!

Evaluating Syracuse's NCAA Tournament Chances After Toppling Virginia - 21 hours ago

Comparing Dino Babers' First Class To Scott Shafer's - February 1, 2017
Syracuse is Still Searching for its First Away Win, and Tomorrow's Game is the Perfect Opportunity to Get It - February 1, 2017
Winning in Florida Means Standings and Recruiting Trail
Marrone talks Sunshine State victories on the field and in the recruiting war.
Syracuse will begin to install the gameplan for USF today and luckily for the Orange, it's a totally different Bulls defense than the one faced a year ago.
Last seasons' dismantling of SU spotlighted George Selvie and Jason Pierre Paul wreaking havoc on Greg Paulus and forcing him into five interceptions.
Don't forget, Paulus is the guy who gave us the quote, "A turnover is a turnover in the red zone." Lucky for the Orange, Ryan Nassib has only thrown two interceptions through four games.
Saturday, SU travels down to Tampa – in the Sunshine State – a place The Fizz has analyzed as a breeding ground for successful Syracuse players.
On Monday, Marrone, answering honestly as he always does, gave some insight into how this game and rivalry helps the Orange
"It helps the exposure that we do play down there. As far as recruiting, I think we're refocusing or getting back to a foundation that's been good to our program for a period of time. I think Syracuse is well known in that area for a lot of reasons. Obviously the Miami rivalry back when they were in the Big East. All of the players that we've ever gotten from the state of Florida have been successful both on the field and in the classroom."
Current Floridian players on the roster include safeties Mike Holmes (met his parents in Seattle – great people) and Dorian Graham, cornerbacks Philip Thomas, Kevyn Scott, Ri'Shard Anderson, Keon Lyn, and Jeremi Wilkes, tight ends Nick Provo and Beckett Wales, and defensive end Max Beaulieu.
Several of those players are significant contributors including Provo, who could be a big weapon for Nassib heading into conference play. There's always been plenty of talent coming out of Florida, it's just a matter of getting them to say yes to Syracuse. More from Marrone:
"I'm not gonna be naïve and say 'If you don't win this game you do not get players down there.' You're gonna get your share of players. If you win the game do you maybe get in on some kids that you might not? I think you will, that's a possibility. Anytime you go play a team that's in a recruiting area for you, if you win, you get benefits from that. If you lose obviously you're fighting a little uphill battle."
Not only is this game important towards a head start in the wide open Big East, but it's also going to pay dividends down the road long after the Derrell Smith's and Doug Hogue's are gone.
Victory on Saturday means winning now, and for the future.

Zach McCarrell is a Safety from Orlando,FL, that had scholarship offers elsewhere, but he came to Syracuse to play for Coach Marrone!

On the Modern Retelling of Classic Fairytales by Cindy C Bennett
Fairytale retelling is a hot
commodity right now in novels, on TV, and in the movies. This is nothing new.
Since fairytales first appeared on the scene they've been subject to retellings
at various times.
Here's some of what Tiffany Loves Books said about Rapunzel Untangled:
Untangled takes the
original fairytale, flips it on it's head and does something magical while not
losing sight of the classic... The characters were very realistic and I love
Bennetts insight and attention to detail… book is so pretty…

Guide to social media salaries
Here's another of those infographics that none of us have paid too much scrutiny to, but it gives us a flavour of the kinds of salaries one could expect with a career in social media in the United States. I'm actually a little bit surprised that the top end of the market is not higher, but at the end of the day people who are taking specialist roles in social media are completing only one part of the communications and marketing puzzle for a brand. My view? Better off not taking too much of a specialised expertise in social media as at a certain point, it will be a mainstream part of how brands and communities interact online.

But first, my weekly words to live by....
You don't need to have huge pumpkins, dried leaves and cornshucks in
every nook and crannie to show some seasonal spirit. Quite the opposite.
Don't ever underestimate the power of the little details around the house for adding charm. A simply mini pumpkin or two on a shelf add a nice little seasonal touch.

Daily Draw: The Power Deck ~ Witness
I wonder how many times strangers have been witness to things I'd rather not be seen doing? Probably often, in my youth. Not so often now. Too tired or busy to get up to tricks.
I'm reminded by this card to lead a blameless life; wouldn't it be an extraordinary surprise to the ones who know me...
"Live as if someone is always watching you
In all you do
Live as if someone
Is always watching you
Eventually you will find
That both of you will need to come to some compromise
Maybe one or the other could agree
To sleep at different times
Or go off alone
Or at least shut their eye
Shut your eye off once in a while
Shut your eye off once in a while
So at least one of us
Can with some conviction say :
I am not of this glutty room
Or of this flubby body" ~ Live as if someone is always watching you, Smog, Rain on Lens

Ceiling Repair in Pinewood Estates, Texas
Catstrong Restoration employs numerous techniques to repair damaged sheet rock. The most suitable option depends the degree of the damage (small or substantial area) and place (wall or ceiling ).
Repair Option 1: Self-Adhesive Mesh Drywall Patch
Drywall patches are widely available at home renovation stores that include a narrow metal mesh with a sticky backing. The metal mesh provides support for the drywall spackle. The patch is attached across the hole, drywall mud, fine sand and paint. Self-adhesive metal patches work most ideal on walls and modest holes, but often sag when utilized on ceilings. Catstrong restoration therefore chose not to utilize a metal repair patch.
Repair Option 2: Cut Out and Replace with New Drywall
The very best way to fix the roughly 6 ″ by 6 ″ area of damaged drywall ceiling is to cut out the region and replace it with a new section of drywall by mounting a wood support frame, tape the joints, apply joint compound, sand and paint. One of the most difficult part was working on the extension ladder to reach the high ceiling.
Repair Option 3: Install a Drywall Access Panel
The problem with Options 1 and 2 are if the leak were to happen in the future, you'll be redoing the ceiling repairs. Depending upon the source of the leak, it may be necessary to cut an hole in the ceiling to repair the plumbing. CatStrong Restoration has utilized bauco drywall access panels. The bauco access panel solves both the repair service and plumbing access problems.

Want to save more money? Check out these smart tips from Savvy Sugar to find out what you should stop paying for now.
We live in a consumer nation, where it has long been the case that many of us are encouraged to spend and to pay it off with money we don't have, racking up debt. This mentality has shifted a little during the recession; people are gradually spending less and saving more. However, there are still a lot of things we're paying for that we don't need. Here are nine things you should be getting for free:
- Books: Don't buy books. Instead, borrow them from the library or from a friend, and explore sites that will let you swap books with other people such as BookMooch, PaperBackSwap and GoodReads has a section dedicated to swapping. Alternatively, there are plenty of wonderful free ebooks on Amazon if you're game enough to try an indie author.
- Cable: A record number of Americans are canceling their cable services, reports the AP. Paying for cable almost seems pointless when you look at all the free options out there such as Hulu and network websites that offer free streaming of their hit shows online.
- Credit report and score: Get your free credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com, which allots you a free report per year. If you're looking to get a free credit score (you can't get it through AnnualCreditReport.com), head on down to Credit Karma, a free service that tracks your score for you.
- Shipping: Hunt around the web for free shipping when you're shopping online. Go to freeshipping.org and find promo codes for free shipping on the website; you can even subscribe to get free shipping alerts from the site. Be sure to also check out retailmenot.com for free shipping codes.

Caitria + Morgan O'Neill:
How to step up in the face of disaster
When a freak tornado hit their hometown, sisters Caitria and Morgan O'Neill — just 20 and 24 at the time — realized they had to jump in and help. What they learned is: After a natural disaster, there's only a tiny window before the world turns its sympathy (and its donations) elsewhere — so it's important to be prepared for every aspect of recovery. Watch this talk to learn how to step up in a timely fashion for your own community.

The latest at Lucas Kazan are these two straight boys doing some gay for pay porn. Lovely…aren't they?
Producer's comments…
Mark speaks no English, Samuel just a few words. Both have bodies to die for, both identify themselves as straight. Yet, they hardly needed directions: Mark took it like a pro and Samuel mischievously enjoyed drilling his pal. We won't tell their girlfriends.
Wrestlers are a special breed. They tend, by their nature and training, to be strong willed and gifted athletes; masters of strength and quickness lending skill to overpower opponents on the mat. Zander is straight, 21 years old, 5′ 8″ and weighs in at 150lbs with boyish good looks. In high school he was on the wrestling and football teams. He quickly developed his own cheering section as he gained popularity. I suspect that most of the girls (and a few guys) were cheering his rippling muscles and the prominent bulge in his wrestling tights, as well as his wrestling ability.
Producer's comments…
Indeed, Zander is powerfully built and deadly handsome. We couldn't tear ourselves away from Zander as he began to strip Naked. His budge was large and seemed to over-fill his boxer briefs. As the boxers dropped to his feet, he revealed his tight muscular butt and a thick cock with a nice growth of jet black pubic hair. He started playing with the little hairs that trail downward; He gripped his Cock and started to pump it. He went to his knees, and then on his back, changing positions as he pumped vigorously. Finally, with his body seething in ecstasy, he started to Cum! Zander shot a generous load – spurt after spurt drenched his pecs and abs.
Enjoy Zander in his premier exclusive PerfectGuyz presentation.
I've just added Porn Feeds to the menu at top of page. This takes you to a new page I've created that links to free gay porn RSS feeds. The feeds contain the latest free sample video trailers put out by each gay porn membership site, and are representative of the content you will find inside their member area.
Some web browsers allow you to subscribe to the feeds directly, or you can use one of several free on-line services that will manage your subscriptions and notify you by Email when a feed updates with something new. There are also dozens of software packages, some free, you can install on your computer for managing feed subscriptions.
This is a great new way to get free gay porn delivered right to your desk top. As I discover more of these feeds I'll add them to the list.
The latest amateur video submission at You Love Jack is from young hairy bottom boy Kerry Douglas. I do think it's a bit of a stretch to call Kerry a Twink. In my book Twinks have a smooth body. In any case, if you like watching furry young guys sticking fingers and dildos up their ass this one should hit your hot button.
Producer's comments…
One of the first things I asked Kerry was whether he was a top or a bottom. He paused, then replied, "I'm versatile." "So… you're a bottom", I quipped. "Ya." And is he ever! This hairy little twink can't wait to stuff one, two and then three fingers up his ass before going to town with one of our special purple jelly dildos! I guess when he says "versatile" he means "fuck me!"
Earlier this year Cocky Boys announced they had successfully signed Brodie Sinclair as a web exclusive, and that he would be bottoming for the first time. As promised, Brody Sinclair's first ever bottoming scene will appear on Cocky Boys exclusively today. The scene doesn't disappoint. Brody get's fucked by straight stud RC Ryan.
Sinclair, a straight porn star in the gay porn industry, was topped by another straight professional fighter and all around stud RC Ryan. "It was intense…in a good way. RC is physically a lot like myself so it was intimidating at first, but it was hotter than I ever expected," says Sinclair. RC Ryan said, "I fucked him good and he took it like a champ. It was fun fucking him because we are similar and knowing that he had never bottomed before made it that much hotter for me.â€
This is a fantasy scene for anyone into straight guys, they both have very masculine personas and seeing Brody get fucked by another fighter like himself is just too much to handle.
While Cude Dude is best known for its gay porn links directory, its actually more of a free gay porn portal. In addition to its links directory, the Cute Dude front door points visitors to a variety of gay adult entertainment options. Guests can easily jump to live gay web cams, 11 different specialty gay porn blogs, and the hot new Monster Tube free video console. Now gay porn consumers can enjoy the convenience of a newly added RSS feed that pulls text summaries of the latest 10 posts at On Gay Porn and Gay Porn Today. Its a great way to stay informed of what's new at these two veteran gay porn blogs. Just click on the titles to get the full article, photos and/or video of each post.
The addition of the RSS feeds is one more step in the evolution of Cute Dude, your one-stop-shop for the best gay porn on the Internet.
Here is the latest from Italian gay porn producer Lucas Kazan.
Producer's comments…
Bruno has star written all over him. Tall, muscular, a tireless erection and seductive eyes, Bruno is your quintessential narcissist. But also a graduate student, working two jobs to pay for his studies. He's been in a relationship for three years now: who's the lucky boyfriend?
Brought to you by the producers of Big Cock Society, the all new Big Cock Desires is jam packed with gay and straight big dick men. The new site is updated weekly with high quality photos and videos of well hung men in both solo and action scenes. Check out these free sample photo galleries for a taste of what's inside.
The latest from Randy Blue is this hot solo jack off scene with newcomer Ethan Parker. Its the classic waking up and taking a shower theme, something I never get tired of when the guy is as gorgeous as Ethan.
Randy's comments…
Ethan Parker was an unusual find. Typically a guy will start modeling and then eventually tell some friends. In Ethan's case his friends were all about him getting in touch with me to come in for a shoot. He's really into gymnastics and has the most amazing body. Tight, with lots of muscles, yet still relatively trim. It's the perfect mixture of size and shape. I can just picture him spinning around on the rings, flying through the air with his gorgeous biceps flexing, sweat beading on his smooth skin, that look of sexy determination on his adorable face. I think it was this mental image that made me want to see him soaking wet in a nice hot shower. Plus, I know some of you have a fetish for wet guys, so this is especially for you. There's just something really hot and voyeuristic about watching a sexy guy during the most private of times, soaping his incredible body, arms flexing with the movement, running his hands down h is slippery legs, around his tight little waist, sliding over his perfectly formed ass. Finally ending up on his magnificent cock, using the soap as a lube, he brings it to full attention. You can almost feel yourself in there with him, the steam heat so intense you're not sure if you're sweating or if it's just the shower, with it's hot water rolling down your body, your hand stroking your hard manhood, aching for release. Just you and Ethan, alone in the shower. Who will cum first?
Muscular Straight Boy Jeff has been performing live shows on his web cam for 8 years. During that time he's received a Cybersocket award for best amateur web cam site and built up a large following of loyal fans. He has also kept copies of his shows, and now has what may very well be the largest archive of amateur web cam shows on the Internet.
Twice weekly live shows and a massive archive make for a package that's hard to resist. And now he has a completely redesigned guest area that does a much better job of showing visitors what his site has to offer. If you like the real deal, Jeff's STR8cam site is worth a look!
Last January Carlo Masi and Adam Champ issued a press release announcing they had cut ties with COLT Studio Group. According to Masi, their decision to leave COLT was driven mostly by money and a desire to have more control over their image. Masi went on to say, "The close and trusting relationship between ourselves and some of the key members of the COLT staff had unfortunately lessened over time.â€
In an announcement made this week, both Carlo Masi and Adam Champ have renewed their contracts with COLT Studio Group. Carlo and Adam will continue their partnered COLT fan websites along with a multi-scene/multi-year contract in front of the iconic studio's lenses. Carlo has been with COLT since his first feature BIG N' PLENTY (2004) where he appeared in a scene with COLT legend Karim. In this new arrangement Carlo has been christened "COLT Man Emeritus†for his long history and full body of work along with his continued contribution to the COLT brand. Adam's first appearance was with fellow COLT Man Chris Wide in the COLT feature Naked Muscles: The New Breed (2007). He has a new COLT feature entitled MASSIVE due out this summer.
"The COLT name is synonymous with producing the highest quality products with the world's most iconic men,†says President and Creative Director John Rutherford. "Carlo and Adam most certainly fit the bill, so to speak. They will continue to be a part of a long line of COLT Men. COLT has become the four letter word for quality and we're very proud to have Carlo and Adam continue on with us into the future.â€
COLT Men Carlo Masi and Adam Champ's body of work so far for COLT Studio Group is:

More information has been unveiled about the latest in the on-going Batman: Arkham X series, with producer Guillaume Voghel outlining his plans for the game to Eurogamer at EGX 2013.
Following 100% completion of the game on every, players will be able to unlock the "I Am The Night" hard mode, which only allows the player a single life and no saves. While easily the most difficult of settings, actually getting there will be an arduous task which Voghel hopes will extend the longevity of the title. Explaining that the main narrative arc and side missions alone will last 12 hours, with finding and attaining all collectables taking longer. Then beyond that there is a new difficulty and a new game plus mode where these actions must be repeated again before I Am The Night Mode can be accessed.
Voghel went into greater detail about the prequel Initiation DLC following Bruce Wayne during his training in Asia. He specified that while you get to see Wayne becoming a ninja it is "not League of Assassins, it's ninja-related," and that there is narratively additional content to provide players with more background story. In particular he praised the work the team had done on the monastery and its visual appearance. Initiation can be accessed via an Arkham Origins Season Pass.
From this, along with the potential behind Deathstroke DLC and other add-ons yet to come, it looks like the game will have even more longevity and content than its open world predecessor.
BATMAN: ARKHAM ORIGINS is released in the UK October 25th.

Shelby makes 3 promises to her mom before she dies. They are Listen to her father , Love as much as possible, and live without restraint.
Her father is on the committee for a princess ball but this ball also symbolizes purity and all that goes with it. She decides that she wants to find a loophole . She comes up with a plan to lose her virginity.
This was also the story of a father and daughter relationship . This was a cute story and all of this miscommunication would have been avoided if they just talked with each other. Shelby realizes things about herself and those that she loves.
This book walked the fine line of being a christian book and a realistic in my mind and there mention of sex since this be a purity ball. I found it interesting that they have a pastor and her father is on many committees in town or on the church it seems but the family didn't seem very much like church going people. But then we are only seeing this family during the 35 days that this story is being told.
With that said I find nothing wrong with believing in God and remaing pure til marriage. There are those kids out there that believe in that too, and nothing wrong it. I also know that teens are going to want to experiment.
But I found that in this book Shelby had 35 days in which to change her life.
Best Line: With someone I love, I guess. I never thought I'd do the whole wait-til-marriage thing, but I think I wanted it to be with someone I cared about.
Book Review= C
This book comes out April 24
Thanks to Little Brown for the book and this is my Honest review

Vocal learning in songbirds provides a useful model for studying how performance-based feedback is used by the nervous system in calibrating and maintaining motor skills, with particular relevance to human speech. Birdsong offers the advantages of a well-described and quantifiable behavior that is subserved by a discrete and extensively investigated set of brain regions. Song learning proceeds in two stages, both of which depend critically on hearing [17, 18]. First, during a period of sensory learning, young birds listen to and memorize the song of an adult 'tutor'. Then, during a period of sensorimotor learning, they use auditory feedback to gradually refine their own initially rambling vocalizations so that they progressively resemble the previously memorized tutor song. Normal song learning requires appropriate experience during a sensitive period in early development, and also relies on auditory feedback in adulthood to maintain precisely calibrated vocal output [4]. The similarities between song and speech in their reliance on auditory feedback suggest that investigations of song learning may provide more general insights into the behavioral and neural mechanisms that govern vocal-motor learning. In addition, we are especially interested in the function of an avian basal ganglia-forebrain circuit (the anterior forebrain pathway or 'AFP') in vocal learning. This circuit plays a central role in feedback-dependent song learning in juvenile and adult birds. Because the AFP can be studied mechanistically in the context of well-defined behavior it may prove to be a particularly tractable model for understanding basal ganglia function more generally. Here, we propose to use the techniques for auditory feedback manipulation that we developed under the previous grant cycle to extend our studies of how vocal behavior in songbirds is shaped by experience (aim 1), determine how the signals that drive learning are represented in the brain (Aim 2) and how they engage basal ganglia circuitry to change song (Aim 3). We will focus on the Bengalese finch, a species that exhibits general properties of vocal learning, but appears to rely particularly strongly on auditory feedback. Songbirds provide a model where the influence of performance-based feedback on a well-defined and quantifiable behavior can be understood at a mechanistic level. Such an understanding will provide basic insight into normal learning processes, with particular relevance to speech, and contribute to our ability to prevent and correct disabilities that arise from dysfunction of these processes.
We will use songbirds to investigate the neural mechanisms that underlie the influence of auditory feedback on adult vocal learning. Such investigations will provide basic insight into normal learning processes, with particular relevance to human speech, and contribute to our ability to prevent and correct disabilities that arise from dysfunction of these processes. Because vocal learning depends crucially on widely conserved basal ganglia-forebrain circuits, this system additionally may prove an especially tractable one for investigating the general functioning of such circuits in motor control and learning and the deficits that arise under conditions of basal ganglia disease.

Top of freezer frosting over
Model Number: LG LFX31925ST/00 Brand: -other- Age: Less than 1 year
This is a french door refrigerator with pull-out freezer door on the bottom that has 3 separate drawers inside. Sears delivered 8/27. Within 1st week, we noticed the top freezer drawer and storage bin attached to top of pull-out door (& the items they contained) frosting over, eventually app. 1/2" thick. Called LG support 9/6. They sent repairman 9/7. Repairman said it's also sweating on freezer roof. Repairman called tech. Tech said it's known issue, but they don't have a bulletin on it, call back in couple days, when supervisor will be there. Eventually, tech told repairman to replace freezer drawer rails, it may or may not fix problem. Rails did not arrive tilll 10/5. 10/7, repairman arrived, talked to tech & suggested it's staying in defrost too long. Tech said no recall, no bulletin, model no. not in range for rail problem, but replace rails anyway, customer not shutting door all the way. (We are a retired couple, no children, maybe open freezer door briefly 4 times/day.) Repairman replaced rails. We cleaned off all frost & made sure everything was dry before reassembly. After repairman left 10/7, I called support, asked for supervisor & discussed issue. Was told they would call me back 10/10 with "reasonable resolution or deem it unrepairable." (They didn't call.) 10/10, app. 1/2" frost in same areas again. 10/14, I called support again. Person I talked to 10/7 not available. Spoke to different supervisor on their "team." Said they would get in touch with tech and call me back 10/17 by 5pm. (They didn't call.) 10/14, I called Sears, explained problem, told them they'd delivered a defective unit & I expected them to step up to the plate and have the unit properly repaired, replaced or refund my money. They said earliest they can send repairman is 10/20, but when he gets here, LG may or may not allow him to service the unit because of warranty. I'd greatly appreciate any advice.
