RE:Finally, A Free Weekend
Hi Fred -
What a wonderful time of year! Great fishing virtually anywhere on cape this weekend. Southside's had fish and will have full tides during off hours; bayside's got fish although the flats tides are mid-day to the negative - meaning Monomoy is an option; upper cape has been boasting great numbers of keepers lately and is always a favorite; outer cape's been fishing crazy with bait and big fish in the surfline; many inside estuaries are still holding lots of fish around the cape; herring are still very much on the menu and fish have been blasting the canal over the last few days.
The whole scene is hot and while folks roll over for a few more winks some of us will be casting a line into the swollen tide waiting for the big slam. I'm having a hard time trying to settle down on an option - but perhaps the three of us (Nate, you and I) could hook up for a morning or evening outing?
With the full tides in mornings and evenings, and talking close to Dennis, I would opt for Hardings, Herring, Parkers or Bass River mouths on the southside ebb. I think the wind is supposed to stay NW and moderate to light making things very pleasant. Gusts or shifts to the west would force backhanded casts but we're used to that.
Wind on the north side would potentially favor the right handed caster, and the beginning of the outflow at Chapin could be explosive when the fish are in there. It's a bit of a hike but on a full tide fish cruise all along that stretch. After experiences on Corporation as a teen, I always stop there to take a peek on full tides. Once you see the fish corral bait and pound them to shreds in that rocky hook, it's hard to drive by there without having a quick look. Sesuit's town beach is often overlooked as a spot to find decent fish spring and fall, and schoolies through the summer. Many slammer blues days off the jetty during the bassless years too.
I fish Cold Storage toward the jetty as opposed to on top of it; and the fish really like the subtle points working toward Crows Pasture. Sounds like you know what I know about accessing Crow's Pasture. With the tide dropping it would be safe to explore although if the intent was to fish the flats you'd be waiting quite a while before the tide was right.
If there's any kind of cover, but no lighting - I plan to open the Brewster Flats season this weekend before the good fish leave it for Billingsgate.
If you'd like to try to hook up send me an email.
Finally, A Free Weekend
Aside from a couple of brief trips down to the Bass River have not had any chance to fish. Heading down to Dennis tonight for some quality time, bookending some fishing around yardwork. I'd like to do some exploring this weekend but since I'm fried I will keep it simple Saturday morning. Lets see - Cold Storage at dawn, try the jetty or hike down to the bowls in front of Crows Pasture - tides high about 6:30 or the end of Bass River - tides high at about 9:00. I suspect Bass river may be a surer bet.
North to the bay or south to the river mouth - any recommendations?
Fred A.

I'll start off by saying this has nothing at all to do with any recent trial ... lest anyone think that it is any critique of any judge(s). Just one of those "what-if" conversations that went off on a tangent.
Secondly, it is unlikely that it would ever occur in a major stake. It is also likely that it would be an extremely rare situation in almost any field trial.
Must a 1st placement be awarded in a field trial stake?
There IS a rule that: a first placement cannot be withheld if other placements are awarded. Evidently, that rule evolved from a situation where judges withheld the 1st & 2nd placements in a Qualifying stake because they felt that none of the dogs who completed the tests were of QAA caliber. This was related to me by someone who actually remembers the event, which goes back some time ago. That created quite a hoo-ha, and AKC responded by making the rule that would preclude that occurring again.
How this rule came to be explains why it is likely to be an extremely rare occurrence. It also explains why it is pretty inconceivable that it would ever occur in a major stake. And since Derby placements don't carry any official AKC designation of any kind, it would not be of much consequence there.
However, this rule would not seem to preclude the judges withholding ALL the awards, if they were adamant that none of the dogs were deserving of QAA status.
We are all familiar with the rule that says if a win is cancelled, the next placement moves up. Withholding 1st & 2nd placements would seem equivalent to "cancelling" those placements, and then move 3rd and/or 4th upward into 1st & 2nd placements ... effectively nullifying the judges' opinions that none of the dogs should be given QAA status.
So, the question really becomes whether the judges are allowed to withhold all the awards v. being compelled to give at least a 1st placement.
To Lab people this is, I am sure, of little consequence since there are more Labs who receive FCs and/or AFCs in a given year than all the dogs of the other retriever breeds combined who reach just QAA status in that year! To those other breeds, however, who have smaller field-capable gene pools to work with, the QAA status is necessary factor for maintaining more genetic diversity in breeding programs. Goldens, since 2000, have averaged only about 25 new QAA achievers each year. I'm not sure what the numbers are for the other breeds, but I'm guessing that the numbers are even smaller.
Back to the regularly scheduled programming ...

Hero who helped capture killer denied reward
Josh Gahl acted swiftly when he saw an assault in progress, calling 911 and steering police in to capture now convicted killer Avondre Graham. However Crimestoppers of the Inland Northwest, which offered $1,000 for the arrest of the suspect in Sharlotte McGill's killing, has refused to pay him.
Why? Because he called 911, and not Crimestoppers.
Sharlotte McGill was killed in May 2012 but it wasn't until four months later, when they received a call from Gahl, who was witnessing an assault along the Spokane River, that they were able to arrest Graham, who pleaded guilty to McGill's murder Thursday and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Gahl heard a woman screaming for help on September 13, 2012. He ran to the sound of the woman's screams and found her with blood coming down her face. Gahl called 911 immediately and began chasing the man, who was later identified as Graham. Gahl didn't know it at the time but he was closing in on a killer.
"I didn't know if he had a gun or a knife so I just tackled him and he flew into the river," Gahl recalled.
By the time Graham reached the other bank police were waiting for him. Gahl's actions helped police nab Graham, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison Thursday for McGill's murder.
But he never received the $1,000 reward offered by Crimestoppers because he called 911, to report the assault in progress and the pursuit of the suspect, and not Crimestoppers.
"[They] said 'Oh the CEO didn't get a hold of you?' I said no. They said, 'Well the reward isn't available to you because you called 911 instead of Crimestoppers,'" he said Thursday.
By calling 911 Gahl did catch a killer but didn't satisfy Crimestopper requirements for the reward for the capture of the killer.
Gahl said he was OK with the technicality and not getting the reward because it's not why he chased down Graham in the first place.
"Not at all, not at all. I'm doing fine without it," he said.
While he may be fine with it, dozens of fans on the KXLY 4 News Facebook page were outraged at the technicality and that Crimestoppers had not given Gahl the reward.

Hi everyone. New to the site. I am looking for a new pooch I am leaning towards a bench/English lab, I love the stocky look. But I do have a few questions.
First I will tell a little about me. I have had a GSP, best bird dog I have owned and trained her myself RIP Chip. I currently have a blf who is at the late stages of kidney failure I did have her professionally trained, however she just never did work out,so she became the sweetest house dog.
I am not ready for a new dog now but will be in 6 months or so. I waterfowl hunt Probably 10 times a yr as well as dove hunt.
How would a bench lab vs a field lab do in these situations
Any suggestions on reputable kennels? You can pm that info
Now here is the big one pup or started? Pros and cons.

Thai Boxe Mania Results: Bessmertny, Gogokhia pick up wins
- Written by Rian Scalia
Thai Boxe Mania took place yesterday in Torino, Italy and featured some interesting match-ups with the likes of Yury Bessmertny, Enriko Gogokhia and Crice Boussoukou. All three are up and comers with promising futures.
Yury Bessmertny was in the main event and faced Roberto Cocco, the Italian veteran who main evented Thai Boxe Mania back in February against Artur Kyshenko. The fight took place at 75kg, a weight Bessmertny has been fighting at more commonly as of late. Unfortunately the fight came to an abrupt halt when a headbutt caused a cut, but for some reason the win was given to Bessmertny instead of being a no contest.
At 72.5kg, a particularly interesting fight in Enriko Gogokhia vs. Berneung Topkingboxing took place at 72.5kg. Gogokhia has been on the come up for quite a while, arguably beating Mike Zambidis last year. Gogokhia ended up winning a decision.
Just four days after winning in Lyon by TKO against Rachid Magmadi, Crice Boussoukou stepped up and took a fight with Kaoponlek on short notice at this event at 67kg. Boussoukou had been knocked out by Kaoponlek last year in Lyon. This fight went much differently, although Kaoponlek won a decision. Reports are that the decision was pretty controversial and Boussoukou himself thinks that he won the fight.
75kg: Yury Bessmertny def. Roberto Cocco by TKO (Cut).
72.5kg: Enriko Gogokhia def. Berneung Topkingboxing by decision.
67kg: Kaoponlek def. Crice Boussoukou by unanimous decision.

The new royal baby, who made his first public appearance with his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge outside of St. Mary's Hospital in London today, stands to inherit $1 billion, based on an estimate of how much his royal family is worth, according to Wealth-X.
Of the family of the yet unnamed royal baby, Queen Elizabeth II is worth the most at $660 million, Wealth-X, a firm that researches ultra-high net worth individuals, estimates. Prince Charles is worth an estimated $370 million, Prince William is worth an estimated $20 million, while his brother Harry is estimated to have $16 million.
Wealth-X's figures do not include the possible inheritance of the Crown Jewels and the Royal Collection. The queen's income in 2014 is expected to rise by 15 percent to nearly $58 million after the Crown Estate reported an increase in profit in June.
Read More: Royal Baby's Path to the Throne
David Friedman, president of Wealth-X, says the royal baby will wear a crown of heavy financial burden during his life, because he would inherit his family's wealth upon their deaths.
"Families with substantial wealth already face acute challenges in helping their children navigate the burden and expectations that can accompany that wealth," he said. "Place on top of that the double burden of royal protocol and expectations, Prince William and Kate will need a tight group of friends and community to provide an environment where the new Prince can flourish. Wealth amplifies what lies beneath an individual's character. It will be up to Prince William and Kate to ensure that the prince can withstand the 'weight of glory'."
See Reactions to Royal Baby Birth Around the World
As third in line to the British Crown, the baby is secure in its financial inheritance even with the likelihood of a proposed law, which is likely to be passed, that provides for equal primogeniture.
Elena Mauer, deputy editor at TheBump.com said, "The royal baby will inherit his family's wealth, just like Queen Elizabeth inherited her dad's estates and Prince William and Harry were given money from their mother upon her passing. But boy is it nice to be this royal baby! With possibly inheriting $1 billion, this will be the most a royal heir has ever received."

Hey, it's Debbie here and I have a fun new pattern to tell you about! The Geo Stars Table Runner featuring Textured Basics is a new FREE pattern and comes as a kit! This runner made its debut at Fall Quilt Market 2012. The design inspiration for Geo Stars Table Runner came from a request by Patty Young of Michael Miller Fabrics. Patty was planning her booth for the Fall International Quilt Market in Houston and had a space in her booth she needed to fill. She gave me the measurements and I got to work!
The design needed to be long and narrow so a table runner was the perfect size. I did a little fussy cutting in the centers of the stars and chose the multi-color houndstooth for the points. The textured cream was an obvious choice for the background of the stars! I love all the bright colors in this line!

Let's Go! Go! Go!
Back in 1978, Bob Dylan sat for a Rolling Stone interview with a writer named Jonathan Cott. Cott was perhaps the most erudite rock writer of the time and his scholarly tone seemed to prompt the Bard of Hibbing to make big, bold pronouncements.
At one point the two men drifted away from weightier issues to discuss the state of rock 'n' roll, which Dylan insisted didn't really exist anymore. He'd never played rock 'n' roll, the singer asserted. Nor did the Beatles or the Stones. What he referred to as "pure rock 'n' roll" faded away with late '50s/early '60s figures Little Anthony and the Imperials and Phil Spector. In other words, it was all over before many even knew it had begun.
Now you don't have to buy Dylan's argument entirely – or really much at all – to see what's he's broadly asserting. There's a freshness to the various genres of music in their formative years, when artists are operating without a whole lot of rules or order. Think of jazz in the '20s or hip-hop in the late '70s.
Or rock 'n' roll in the '50s, which is the focus of our new compilation Let's Go! A survey of rockabilly from its roots as the unruly, unpredictable offspring of rhythm & blues and country, it features 17 raucous selections, most from the genre's greasy heyday, with a few revivalist gems tossed in for good measure.
There's a weirdness and wildness to genuine rockabilly that illustrates that purity Dylan was talking about – when just goofin' was more likely to pay off than playing it straight. Listen to Gene Vincent hiccupping and gasping his way through "Be-Bop-A-Lulu" or Eddie Cochran's quaking "Nervous Breakdown" and try to imagine how unprecedentedly strange they sounded to the uninitiated. It's no wonder parents and professional musicians alike were outraged by the sound.
It was a time when a record producer might turn the dials all the way up – just to see what happens when, say, there's so much echo in the mix that words bounce off one another like muscle cars in a demo derby.
That creative recklessness explains how it is that most of the stuff on Let's Go! is more than 50 years old, but it's still sounds as frisky as a teen.

LIGHTS! Bring your Ott lights, either the tabletop version or the one on a stand. I've been on tons of retreats and they never have enough lighting in them. I like to bring a small garbage pail (like you would put in a small bathroom) because I'm used to a garbage pail under my sewing machine at home. You might want to bring a mat to put under your machine to help with vibration if you're going to be using the white melamine tables. If you have the room to bring a good size cutting mat, do that as you sometimes have to wait your turn at the common cutting tables. If you have bed risers to raise the common cutting tables, everyone's back will appreciate them! :thumbup:
Bring snacks to share with everyone. Paper plates, bowls and napkins help as well. A name tag is a good idea if you don't know everyone.
ME, ME, bring me with you!!!!!!!!!!!LOL
Labels to put your name on everything or super sharp sharpies to write your name... things do get mixed up accidently and it avoids hurt feelings.
Wet wipes/germix/kleenex for your sewing area.
Tylenol, extra glasses or contacts if you wear them
Slippers & Robe ( I always forget them )
"Business Cards" with your contact name/number to hand out
CAMERA & batteries
Chargers for everything
Bottle water
Map / GPS / Directions / Reservations
Pictures of family / projects
One Dollar bills & coins
Big trash bag because nothing ever fits on the way home back the way you had it.
Have fun
And put you name on everything!! I like to put my name on both ends of my extension cords so when there's 6 cords all plugged into the same surge protector, you know which one to unplug.
I usually leave the kitchen sink and other cooking stuff at home. The rest goes with me - LOL!

5 Must-See Tutorials For Getting Started In Machine Embroidery
Machine embroidery is pretty neat.
I'm not just saying that. Really. This stuff is awesome, and there are lots of folks out there who think so. However, there are lots of misconceptions out there about what it is, what it's for, and how you do it.
One, it is NOT just for your Great Aunt Bitty to embroider pictures of cats on things. Sure, she can do that too. Cats are all the rage these days, just ask the internet. Also, it's not dark arts wizardry, thought you might be forgiven for thinking that the first time you tried to get something to stitch out correctly. Embroidery machines are neat little gizmos of technology that sometimes take on a personality of their own when embroidering your favorite designs, and ESPECIALLY when embroidering on your favorite shirt. If you just grab one out of the box and hope for the best, you and your machine may have issues. Plus those suckers can be complicated beasts to set up sometimes.
So for your ease and enjoyment, here are 5 easy tutorials if you're just starting out that should make your journey a bit more pleasant, and stop you from throwing that magic technology out a window the third time it eats a design.
First up, we go old school UT! Yup, this is one of the first tutorials I ever did (and that's our old studio… so pink!) and it's all about how to set up an embroidery machine. All embroidery machines are different, but it covers some basics of what it's like getting that shiny new toy out of the box, and the first steps to setting it up. It breezes over some of the embroidery basics, so for that, I'd really recommend…
This tutorial on machine embroidery basics. Once you've gotten a little more familiar with your machine, you need to understand some very important things like proper stabilizers, hooping techniques, and proper fabric choice to really get solid results out of this cool technology. This is an absolute must read for anybody just starting out.
Next is for those moments you feel like defenestrating your machine. (That means throw it out a window… word of the day!)
Gotten your machine all set up, followed all the instructions, and you're still getting terrible results? Well, this tutorial all about preventing shifting and gapping in designs should help. I hope for you sake your stitch outs aren't looking quite as bad as that example above, but if you're getting wrinkled fabrics and edges that don't line up, try out these tips for getting great looking embroidery every time.
For a little extra finesse, try using templates to perfectly line up your designs! This tutorial teaches you how and where to get your templates, and then easy steps for using them to get perfectly aligned designs. We use templates quite a bit in our tutorials, so it's pretty handy to know to print and use them when the time comes.
Finally, if you've learned to set up your machine, know a bit about stabilizers and hooping, figured out how to get a template, AND you haven't thrown your machine out a window yet, congrats! You're well on your way to becoming a seasoned embroiderer. Now comes the fun part… experimentation! Check out this tutorial for design hack ideas, basically super easy ways you can change up designs to get totally unique results and make them your own. It's everything from changing up colors to specialized threads. The design is just the beginning… what you do with it is a whole different thing!
Got all that? Great! Welcome to the world of machine embroidery. If you're looking for more ways to get started, there's a whole section dedicated to it in our tutorials. They go beyond the basics and start talking about specialized tips like for stitching perfect freestanding lace to using applique designs.
Good luck! Your machine will thank you for it. No matter how cool a word you think defenestrate is.

So, I got the Alpha Trooper as a late b-day gift, but it's possibly a lemon? The pump action is very unreliable and I have to slam AND hold the foregrip forward in order for it to feed through the darts properly, which is mostly fine on slam-fire but very annoying for individual shots in which I let go of the foregrip and hold one-handed or hold it by the base of the barrel. It's very common for the foregrip to slip back a little after loading a new shot which makes it not **** properly. Generally when that happens, even if I slam it forward again, it slips back a bit. If hold it forward then it will **** it but it will have very weak pressure to it. Has anybody else experienced this with their Troopers? It doesn't seem to be too rare of a problem according to google, but I haven't seen it mentioned in reviews. I want to take it back, but I'm worried that won't help as some people have picked up two at a time and both had the problem. Plus, even the closest Target is a long drive.
Upon analyzing it compared to the Recon, though, I bet the muzzle was originally supposed to be modular. The Raider and Barricade both have unique muzzles, but the Trooper's is strangely just too thin - but the Recon barrel can fit onto it. It just can't lock. I think originally the Trooper was supposed to be a larger gun, and its strange barrel shape was supposed to match that of the base of the Recon's barrel, so it could take it. But, for some reason or another, they scaled the gun down slightly. This seems most evident by observing that the handle of the Trooper and the Recon are the exact same design, but the Trooper's is slimmer.
The scaling down probably made the muzzle too thin to accept other barrels and was prone to easy breakage, so they took away the extra layering that had the notches for the barrel attachments to lock into, thus why it's so close in appearance to the modular muzzle. Between the cocking/loading problem and realizing it has such lost potential, I'm very disappointed with the gun. I still like the design... but I don't know. Should I try to exchange it for another or just get my money back? Or, try to go through Hasbro's customer service?

NEW ALBANY – Jennifer Jones and the Boys & Girls Club in New Albany are looking to place teens in jobs this summer.
Jones is going door to door, continuing her work as a "community angel" and helping kids.
She's looking for businesses looking to hire them part-time or full-time, as well as anyone who wants to pay them to do small jobs.
Jones said restaurants, convenience stores and other shops are ideal employers. She also said kids could make money doing car washes and yard work.
"We're doing this for kids who want to work and make a little money so they can buy their own things," Jones said. "Every little bit helps."
Contact Jones at (662) 534-7988 or Tommy Bledsoe at the Boys & Girls Club at (662) 534-2150.

Day One at LinuxCon
Although much of yesterday at LinuxCon was spent in a jet-lagged fog, it was a great first day. I arrived at the Edinburgh airport at 8 in the morning (I know, I should have come a day or two early!) and took the bus to downtown, then walked up to the conference venue. It's a lovely conference center located a short walk from numerous lovely pubs, bakeries, and shops.
I spent most of the day at the OpenStack booth, talking with people about what OpenStack is, as well as with people who have been using it for a long time and had deeper questions, or wanted to share what they're doing with it.
In the evening, I met up with several colleagues - one of whom I had talked with online but never met - for dinner and discussion. I'm frequently impressed by my coworkers and their passion to solve problems, rather than simply jockeying for position and prowess. These guys really want to identify and squash bugs, both technical and relational. I love it.
After a very long day (I was up for nearly 40 hours, I think - time zones confuse me) I finally crashed around 9pm and got 11 hours of sleep. I feel much more human today and am really looking forward to the day. I have a few interviews I have tentatively scheduled for today and tomorrow to record for the RDO blog. Hopefully I can track these folks down.

Hi All,as promised, after the version of arduino uno, here is the diagram of Mega:NEW Version 2.0Download Arduino MEGA v2(old versions)Drawing is 1:1.for those who asked me, the version with the pin number (not 1:1)and the Pinout of ATMega2560Download as PDF, PDF with pin numberand the ATMega 2560 Pinout PDF.This is a "beta versions" then any suggestion or correction is accepted.
Fantastic!So the printout can be used like your other version for lamination?, so cool!
Power limit is incorrect - its 200mA per VCC or GND pin - there are 4 of each, so 800mA would be the MAX....
Power limit is incorrect - its 200mA per VCC or GND pin - there are 4 of each, so 800mA would be the MAX.Other chips are the same too - 200mA per VCC/AVCC pin, the total load spread over the ports supports that.See the "Electrical characteristics" section of the datasheets.

Can anyone confirm the rumor that K-Mart is having a sale starting tomorrow on Star Wars figures? Supposedly, the sale is going to be Buy One Get One on all figures.
Can anyone confirm the rumor that K-Mart is having a sale starting tomorrow on Star Wars figures? Supposedly, the sale is going to be Buy One Get One on all figures.
At K-Mart's prices, that should bring them down to normal levels!
But, seriously, I would be able to confirm this when they post tomorrow's ad, but anyone else can at this point. (I can't understand why stores don't at the very least post them at 9 PM on Saturday. Their stores are closed; no one can go in until Sunday, when the sales apply anyway.)
That's my jacket!
RS lists it as a fact, but has no evidence to back it up. I guess it might be worth a trip there just to check it out.
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!
My Photos and Reviews: SSG Toy Guide
My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
Figures here are $8.99 each at K-Mart...so BOGO would make these roughly $4.50 each at this rate. This would be by far the cheapest the Vintage Collection has been yet.
Well, young whippersnappers, I can help you out. [fluffs newspaper, a la dad with his pipe circa 1962] Let's see here... K-Mart ad [looks through newspaper advertisements]... should be here... always is one of those... I don't always look through it carefully... sometimes it's just the cover, sometimes scanning through the pages... hmm. No K-Mart ad today; maybe they forgot it. Or didn't print one. Sorry there, sport. Can't help you out. Go ask your mother.
[Internet update] According to the K-mart "website" (I use quotation marks, because it said the closest store to me was about 18 miles away, ignoring the one 4 miles down the street, and said "no products found matching star wars" in Toys & Games), it does show Iron Man 2 and SW figures at that sale price (even shows some Mandolarian character with a KM sticker [exclusives; oh joy] featured).
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
AT-AT on sale at K-Mart for $75.00
GH AT-AT on sale for $31.00
I did not see anything about figures. I will stop by today and take a look.
May the force be with you.
I found the ROTJ wave at K-Mart and grabbed what I needed. The Legends and CW had stickers calling out the BOGO sale but Vintage did not. I took them up to the register and... BOGO! I wish they'd had more Gam Guards.
Have: CW Yularen, CW Clone, everything from CW Slave I set except Slave I, TFU Shadow Stormtrooper x2, Evo Trooper, Saga AT-AT Driver, K-Mart Jodo Kast || Want: Vintage Fordo
Thanks to TheDarthVader, Phantom-like Menace, TheRealDubya, Jediguy, Dark Marble, Umbra, Qui-Long Gone, CrunchyNug, GH_fan and jedikiss.
My Kmart didn't have much new, but I did get yet another AOTC clone and SBD. Hopefully they'll restock before the end of the week.
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!
My Photos and Reviews: SSG Toy Guide
My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
Confirmed out here as well. I stopped by tonight qand found they had the Vintage marked BOGO.
There were about 9 or so figures on beat up cards. I bought 4 for the price of 2 and now have enough to send out for a mail away Fett.
$4.50 for openers is a good price. I bought Cloud Car Pilot, Zuckuss, Dengar, and General Veers (AT-AT Driver).
Also, my local K-Mart opens at 8:00 a.m. so I will be able to stop by on my way to work every morning this week to hunt for cheap figures.
May the force be with you.
This was a pretty great deal, even though I really don't have the money. I got Woooooof! and the Hoth Han Solo, Sandtrooper, BaR2-D2, Rebel Commando and Admiral Ackbar. Most figs I bought for a while. Yeah!
Good trader(s): TheDarthVader...thanks!

Happy 6th birthday to Hollywood's most famous tomboy, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt!
While scrolling through some pictures of this small human today, I was struck by the fact that even though she's the child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Shiloh seems to have looked elsewhere for fashion advice. Looked all the way, in fact, to one of my favorite people on the planet, Ellen DeGeneres…Shiloh seems to favor the same button-ups, sweater vests, short hair, and sneakers that Ellen favors on her show. And you know what? I'm not mad about it.
A lot has been said about whether it's appropriate that Shiloh tends toward fashion choices that are more typically 'masculine', but I for one think it's awesome that her parents let her express herself however she wants. It seems pretty clear that Brangelina encourage Shiloh to be exactly who she wants to be, and if other people have issues with that, that's their problem. In fact, I actually think it's refreshing to see a little girl who isn't being forced into girly-girl adult clothes like Suri Cruise is. Doesn't it make way more sense for a six-year old to wear jeans and sneakers instead of high heels and flamenco dresses? I think so. Is there a smile on her face? Great, then shut up.
So in honor of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and her strange, loving, supportive, accepting family, I give you a gallery of ten of Shiloh's most tomboyish looks.
Be yourself today! Do it for Shiloh.

Credit Suisse's chip analyst John Pitzer this morning weighs in on the debate over whether Intel (INTC) could obtain more business manufacturing other company's chips, including, perhaps, Apple's (AAPL) custom chips for its iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
Although Intel has only three small customers for its contract "foundry" service — Achronix, Tabula, and Netronome — nevertheless Pitzer sees great potential for Intel based on its technology lead in chip process technology, taking a much brighter view than many of his peers on the Street:
Moore's Law – smaller, faster and cheaper – has been the cornerstone of Tech economics for 40 years. It is our view that technical, financial and scale issues are driving towards a "last-man-standing" advantage for INTC relative to Moore's Law and that INTC will leverage that advantage not only in its core business but increasingly as a specialized foundry […] as INTC's manufacturing lead continues to widen at 14nm and especially at 450mm, IFS will become a more meaningful driver of top and bottom line performance.
In particular, if Intel can grab Apple's business from Samsung Electronics (005930KS), the economics could work out much more favorably for Intel than people suspect:
On the surface, INTC's MPU ASPs of $120 versus the AAPL ASP of $20-$25, INTC's corporate GM of 60-65% versus TSMC's at 45-50% and INTC's cost/wafer of $10,500-$11,500 versus leading edge wafers at TSMC at $5,000-$5,500 (incl. back-end) would all suggest that any entry into foundry would be margin dilutive with little bottom line impact – WE DISAGREE. Our analysis today looks at the impact of a foundry relationship between INTC and AAPL (on ARM Holdings (ARMH)) and concludes that the profitability profile is much better than the consensus view. In fact, our analysis suggests if INTC were to support 100% of AAPL's demand at 14nm the company could generate $5.8bn in revenue, 47% GMs (below core of 60-65%), 35% OpMs (above core of 28-32%), $0.28 of EPS with an ROI of 20-25% (in-line with core of 20-25%).

The Amory school board is slated to meet this afternoon, and it's expected that Ben Ashley of Falkner will be approved as the
Panthers' new football coach.
Ashley would replace Trent Hammond, who left Amory to become head coach at Tupelo.
Falkner principal Jennifer Stroupe and Ashley both confirmed Thursday to the Southern Sentinel that the Amory move was pending board approval.
Amory superintendent Tony Cook told the Monroe Journal that a board meeting was set for 2:30 p.m. today. Cook said a news conference to introduce a new coach could take place next week.
Ashley was 18-6 in two years at Falkner, leading the Eagles to the Class 1A playoffs in both seasons.
Class 4A Amory was 9-3 for Hammond last season, a year after an 11-4 run to the state semifinals.

What is it about the human phsychy that compels us to post.
Do we really think what we write matters?
I used to think it was an extension of hanging out at a tail gait at the end of an event. But in reality I have never picked up where I left off nor have I seen much of a lurker or member want to bring back up what was talked about here. .
Or are we social misfits? Or are we compelled to show our wit or lack there of. Or is it a bad habit like smoking or drinking ?
Interactive virtual entertainment ? And do we do ourself more harm than good?
Just some of the stuff I think about.
Let me clarify.
I'm not speaking of people who ask questions because they genuinely need answers or some one who is genuinely giving a needed answer

Before entering the graduate program in Nursing, I worked as a Registered Nurse for 33 years, first in the Operating Room at Fatima Hospital for 9 years and then for 24 years in the ACC. During that time I came to love teaching; I taught fellow nurses as a preceptor and conducted many in-services. It was this passion for teaching that prompted me to enroll in the Master's program in Nursing.
My experiences at RIC prepared me to be the kind of instructor I have had the privilege to know. They readied me to educate students in clinical, to be open and available to students and to encourage and motivate them. The graduate program also prepared me to utilize evidence based research in my education, to develop my knowledge of nursing in the Acute/Critical care path and motivated me to submit my manuscript for publication.
My experiences in the graduate nursing program at RIC, friendships with classmates, and the encouragement of faculty more than exceeded my expectations of the program. They helped to make me a better teacher and nurse.

With the architects I toured a nature preserve, a ginormous bat cave, historic homes along the King William district, the famous Riverwalk and Alamo.
Instead of partaking in further networking strictly with architects after AIA lectures, I opted to go to local events. So, I enjoyed meeting film artists at Artpace, painters at Southwest School of Art & Craft, photographers in Southtown's 1st Friday Artwalk, merchants at the Mexican markets, and of course local psychics, just for fun in the mix.

Chiefs fall 2-1, but collect 6,560 teddy bears
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Tri-City Americans scored twice early in the third and held off a late rally from Spokane as they defeated the Chiefs 2-1 in front of 10,052 fans at the Spokane Arena Saturday night. Reid Gow scored the "Teddy Bear" goal as Spokane fell to 13-3-0-0 at home and 23-9-1-0 overall.
Chiefs' fans tossed 6,560 teddy bears onto the ice for the Teddy Bear Toss presented by The Spokesman-Review Christmas Fund. The teddy bears will be given to the community through The Spokesman-Review Christmas Fund and the Gus Johnson Ford Christmas Caravan. The 6,560 is a franchise record for stuffed animals.
Americans' goalie Eric Comrie stopped all 15 shots he faced in the first period as Spokane held the Americans to seven shots.
The Americans went on the game's first power play at the 5:26 mark of the second but they couldn't find the back of the net against Eric Williams as the contest remained scoreless.
Tri-City captain Justin Feser scored the game's first goal at 2:03 in the third as he caught a pass from behind the net and beat Williams glove side to put the Americans ahead 1-0. Malte Stromwall extended Tri-City's lead at 4:47 with an unassisted top shelf goal.
Spokane finally broke through at 16:46 as Gow snuck a shot past Comrie with assists from Dylan Walchuk and Brenden Kichton. The Chiefs kept the pressure on Comrie down the stretch but couldn't light the lamp again.
Williams was 18 of 20 on save opportunities for Spokane while Comrie was 36 of 37 for Tri-City. The Chiefs finished 0 for 2 on the power play and 1 for 1 on the penalty kill.
The Chiefs are home again on Tuesday as they host the Portland Winterhawks for a TicketsWest Player Magnet Giveaway at 7:05 PM.

Coming to UTSA: Free NYT and teaching workshop
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(March 11, 2009)--As part of the New York Times Collegiate Readership Program, approximately 400 copies of The New York Times will be distributed free of charge on a trial basis to 10 UTSA locations. The newspapers will be available March 16-April 24 with the objectives of encouraging newspaper readership and their use in the classroom. The Office of the Provost and Academic Affairs initiated UTSA participation in the program.

>> As part of the initiative, the UTSA Teaching and Learning Center and The New York Times will host a reception and presentations for faculty, graduate students and staff members from 3 to 4:30 p.m., Monday, March 16 in the Business Building University Room (2.06.04) on the UTSA Main Campus. Todd Halvorsen, New York Times Southwest education manager, and Pulitzer prize winning journalist Ford Burkhart of the Times foreign desk will discuss practical and creative ways to use newspapers in the classroom. Register for the session at the UTSA Teaching and Learning Center Web site or contact Terri Kadala at (210) 458-7374.
The newspaper has compiled more than 3,400 syllabi from faculty around the nation who incorporate the newspaper into their curricula. The speakers will discuss some of these teaching ideas and monographs available at The New York Times Web site that outline classroom activities and assignments in a range of disciplines.
"Because of the Times' depth of coverage internationally and nationally almost every discipline can benefit from our daily source of record on issues and events," said Halvorsen. "The Times strives to help readers achieve a richer understanding of the world -- from politics to poetry, technology to hip-hop, the business arena to the sports arena, and new technology to career opportunities."
"I think this initiative is a tremendous opportunity for our faculty and students," said Richard Diem, dean of the UTSA Honors College. "Challenging students to analyze editorials, weigh evidence and compare articles with competing points of view can build the critical thinking skills needed as a college student, as a productive worker and as an informed citizen."
"My former institution made The New York Times available to faculty and students," said Barbara Millis, director of the Teaching and Learning Center. "It was gratifying to see students poring over a challenging newspaper and talking with faculty about the creative ways they integrated newspaper assignments into their courses. I encourage everyone to come to the reception and presentations."

[Colour] brings the conscious realisation of the deepest underlying principles of nature … it constitutes the very song of life and is, as it were, the spiritual speech of every living thing.
Roy de Maistre 19191
[Colour] brings the conscious realisation of the deepest underlying principles of nature … it constitutes the very song of life and is, as it were, the spiritual speech of every living thing.
Roy de Maistre 19191
In Forest landscape Roy de Maistre adapted the subject of a felled tree to create a painting concerned with modernist principles of form, rhythm, symmetry and colour. Tree trunks have been reduced to angular planes of colour and the composition is united by vivid greens that portray the forest floor and foliage. De Maistre has explored a range of colour tones, using subtle shifts in greens, reds and browns throughout the painting.
Forest landscapebelongs to a period when de Maistre was interested in the broken-colour approach of Cézanne and the relationship between colour and music. De Maistre had studied violin and viola at the Sydney Conservatorium, and art at the Royal Art Society of New South Wales and Julian Ashton Art School. Working with musician Adrian Verbrugghen he developed a colour-music scale where the spectrum of colours related to notes of the major and minor musical scales. The colour-music theory was further underscored by de Maistre's interest in the psychological effects of colour and its relationship to the expression of emotional states.
Historically, the subject of the felled tree in the Australian bush has reflected artistic interests in rural industry, the natural grandeur of Australian forests and, in some instances, an awareness of conservation issues related to loss and destruction. The felled tree and rock formation dominate the foreground of Forest landscape. The vitality of colour suggests the cycles of nature and regeneration, and the striking flesh-colours of the wood imply sympathy towards the complex natural environment.

Sepphoris, a few hours' walk from Nazareth, was a prosperous town in Jesus' day that would become known as the "ornament of all Galilee." Today, it is a national park where fascinating ruins enrich your understanding of New Testament times. Joanna, a follower of Jesus and the wife of Cuza (Luke 8:3), may have hailed from Sepphoris, the regional capital of Herod Antipas, whose steward Cuza was.
Considering the town was under construction when Jesus was growing up, and Joseph's profession, according to the Greek, was actually "builder," some say Joseph, and even Jesus himself, could have worked here. A reconstructed villa with its gorgeous "Mona Lisa of Galilee" mosaic, a theater, market streets and other finds showcase daily life in Roman times.
At Sepphoris, where the biblical commentary known as the Mishnah was codified in the third century, Christian visitors are also fascinated by the scriptural symbols of its sixth-century synagogue mosaic, which tell a story of faith and redemption.

We went for a road trip friday up to the camp to get it opened up, cleaned up and look the hunting spots over to see what we could see for bird sign around the publics what we hunt for the T&TH Hunt. We walked back in to a few different publics, turkey sign all over, but very little hunter sign, don't look like many hunters been out much with the bad spring weather we been having. We stopped for lunch at Subway and there where about 9 other hunters in there, so I was talking to them to see what they been seeing or hearing. One group of 4 were hunting on private and the other 5 guys were hunting publics, 2 on one and 3 on another. The guys on private hadn't seen a bird yet and they said they've heard very little gobbling, only on the roost, nothing on the ground. Both sets of guys on the publics said they heard quite a bit of gobbling both on the roost and off. The 2 guys had a bird working in that busted them and took off. The guys on the publics have all had birds working, but nothing to show for it yet? The birds we saw were still in groups, there was one bunch that had about 8/9 hens being followed by 3 longbeards behind them and 3 jakes standing off watching at about 60 yards. Another spot we stopped(that me, Scoot, Jeff hunted) and walked back in the field road, we got about half way in to the hayfield and a hen stepped out of the thick pines onto the road with a longbeard behind her, as soon as he hit the road he went into strut. They were about 70 yards in front of us, when she finally seen us she ran back into the thick pines and he followed. Using what the hunters told us and seeing what we saw the birds doing ( still trailing hens), I'd be out there doing quite a bit of calling, mixing up as many different calls as possible, and not using the normal soft calling in the afternoons, being a little more aggressive and mixing in quite a few kee kees as long as the birds are still grouped together, adding a few gobbles every now and then. The guys on the publics are getting a lot more responces than the guys on private which tells me the birds are hearing a lot more calls and are responding better?
We saw a total of 9 longbeards and 3 groups of jakes, quite a few hens just from the 5 spots we stopped at on our road trip.

Hidden away in the woods, and surrounded by a rusting, torn and collapsing chain-link fence, it's an area anybody with common sense would avoid. It's off the beaten path - literally. Partially visible from the main road (if the trees are not too full,) it's easy to miss. A surprisingly clear, small lagoon separates t...

DC New 52 – One Year Later
So, it's been a year since DC Comics rolled the dice and rebooted their entire universe. Now no matter what your opinion of the move, you can not argue with the results, from a business stand point. DC sales are up. But after a year, what does DC have to show for itself? What has worked? What hasn't? What books rocked, what books didn't quite measure up? What were the surprise hits? and where did DC just blow it? Let's go back, shall we? to the first week of September 2011, DC had just ended their latest Geoff Johns penned … Continue reading

| When this British actor first started training for his role as Edward Cullen in the "Twilight" series, he didn't even have workout clothes, his personal trainer Harley Pasternak told Hollywood Life. Pattinson's chiseled abs (seen here on the "New Moon" set) came courtesy of Pasternak's 5-factor diet and fitness plan, which combines five healthy meals a day with strength and core training. For "New Moon," Pattinson also worked with trainer Nathan Mellalieu, who used boxing drills to help the star gain a lean, muscled look, Mellalieu told Men's Fitness.

| If you have trouble motivating yourself to work out, you might be in good company with this "Pirates of the Caribbean" bombshell. What really gets Keira Knightley to the gym are the rigorous demands of a movie contract, she told IGN. "I always love training for films, because you've got such a specific goal," She said. "As far as training in my own life, I just can't motivate myself at all." That goal in the 2004 film "King Arthur" was to play a pugnacious, sword-fighting Guinevere opposite a beefed up Clive Owen. "When I accepted the role, they said, 'You really have to bulk up,' because otherwise you simply wouldn't believe that I could fight on equal standing with a man and come out all right," she said. Knightley did weight training for two hours a day, four days a week, and also took up archery, sword fighting and—yes—boxing. "She was fearsome," Owen told ESPN.com. "She was boxing during lunch breaks!"

| Although he appeared almost gaunt in "Les Miserables," Hugh Jackman is best known for looking jacked as Wolverine in the "X-Men" franchise. Those enormous biceps didn't come from nowhere. Jackman has been working with his trainer Mike Ryan since 1989, according to an interview Ryan gave to Men's Fitness. For "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," Ryan had Jackman in the gym by 4 a.m. doing up to an hour and a half of both cardio and weight training. To build muscle, Ryan focused on grueling "supersets" that combine compound lifts with isolation ones, "for example, go from a dumb-bell bench press straight into a flye," he said. During peak training, Jackman was benching up to 315 pounds and leg pressing 1,000 pounds—and eating 6,000 calories a day.

She put in some hardcore training with master martial arts choreographer Yuen Wo-ping, whose credits include "The Matrix" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." "They trained me five days a week for three months from nine in the morning until five o'clock at night and we were not to be late and I never got to leave early," Thurman told IGN.

| Gone are the days when Liam Neeson is only a prestige actor in films like "Schindler's List." Since playing a badass ex-CIA officer in 2009's "Taken," Neeson, 61, has become a bona fide action star—and he's fit enough to do his own fight scenes. A boxer in his youth, Neeson prepared for "Taken" by spending several weeks in France learning parkour, he told Time Out Sydney. No slouch in his sixties, Neeson also stays in shape with kettlebells, stationary bike and—no surprise—a punching bag.

| This svelte A-lister you may recall as Uhura from the recent "Star Trek" films or the blue heroine of "Avatar" dialed it up to eleven for her role as an assassin in the 2011 action flick "Colombiana," enlisting Hollywood trainer Steve Moyer for the task, according to Shape Magazine. Moyer crafted her a toning regimen that sculpted her upper body with a resistance band and light weights, he told Popsugar Fitness. Go-to moves included plank pushups, resistance band pulls, and dumbbell curls. The goal of these exercises, Moyer said, was not to bulk up, but rather to achieve some lean, mean definition of the triceps and deltoids.

| One of the most remarkable physical turnarounds in film history, Christian Bale went from muscular in "American Psycho" to emaciated in "The Machinist," and then back to buff in "Batman Begins." That last transformation, during which he gained 100 pounds (before losing 30 for filming), took only six months. Although he "couldn't do a single pushup" when he started, his trainer Efua Baker bulked him up with "daily three-hour running and weight sessions," according to an interview in People. His training included "heavy core training, plyometrics and resistance training," according to Men's Fitness.

"If I'm going to play a boxer, I better look like a boxer," Swank told ESPN.com. "My training was two and a half hours of boxing and approximately an hour and a half to two hours lifting weights every day, six days a week," the actress said to MovieWeb. To bulk up her model-thin frame, Swank ate 4,000 calories and 210 grams of protein a day, putting down egg whites, protein shakes and flax oil every hour and a half.

I just finished reading The Courtship of Princess Leia, and let me start out by saying that it was a wonderful book with exciting new characters and fitting conclusions to some returning characters.
Now, onto my question. In Truce at Bakura (it's been eight books since I read it, so forgive me if I'm wrong), Luke had his green lightsaber from Return of the Jedi. However, in The Courtship of Princess Leia, the book describes Luke's lightsaber as having a "blue glow" at least twice.
Keep in mind though, the text never actually says that Luke's lightsaber is blue; just that it has a blue glow. On the other hand, the author never states that his lightsaber is green either. Did I miss something? Did Luke build a new blue lightsaber inbetween Truce at Bakura and The Courtship of Princess Leia? Or is the author merely describing a color tint that Luke's green lightsaber gives off? Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients must have recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma; histologic documentation of the original primary tumor is required via the pathology report
- Patients with the following histologic epithelial cell types are eligible: serous adenocarcinoma, endometrioid adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, clear cell adenocarcinoma, mixed epithelial carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, malignant Brenner's Tumor, or adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified (N.O.S.)
- All patients must have measurable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1; measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded); each lesion must be >= 10 mm when measured by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or caliper measurement by clinical exam; or >= 20 mm when measured by chest x-ray; lymph nodes must be >= 15 mm in short axis when measured by CT or MRI
- Patients must have at least one "target lesion" to be used to assess response on this protocol as defined by RECIST 1.1; tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as "non-target" lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm persistence at least 90 days following completion of radiation therapy
- Patients must not be eligible for a higher priority Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) protocol, if one exists; in general, this would refer to any active GOG Phase III protocol for the same patient population
- Patients must have a GOG performance status of 0, 1, or 2
- Patients must have baseline lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels =< 0.8 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
Recovered from prior surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy
- Patients should be free of active infection requiring antibiotics (with the exception of uncomplicated urinary tract infection [UTI])
- Any hormonal therapy directed at the malignant tumor must be discontinued at least one week prior to registration
- Any other prior therapy directed at the malignant tumor, including biological and immunologic agents, must be discontinued at least three weeks prior to registration
Prior therapy
- Patients must have had one prior platinum-based chemotherapeutic regimen for management of primary disease containing carboplatin, cisplatin, or another organoplatinum compound; this initial treatment may have included intraperitoneal therapy, high-dose therapy, consolidation, non-cytotoxic agents or extended therapy administered after surgical or non-surgical assessment
- Patients must have NOT received any additional cytotoxic chemotherapy for management of recurrent or persistent disease, including retreatment with initial chemotherapy regimens; (Note: optimal evaluation of the safety and efficacy of new chemotherapy regimens is best performed in patients with minimal prior therapy; non-investigational therapy, such as retreatment with platinum and/or paclitaxel, is non-curative in the setting of recurrent disease, and can generally be safely administered to patients following participation in a Phase II trial)
- Patients are allowed to receive, but are not required to receive, one additional non-cytotoxic regimen for management of recurrent or persistent disease according to the following definition:
- Non-cytotoxic (biologic or cytostatic) agents include (but are not limited to) hormones, monoclonal antibodies, cytokines, and small-molecule inhibitors of signal transduction
- Patients must be considered platinum resistant or refractory according to standard GOG criteria, i.e., have had a treatment-free interval following platinum of less than 6 months, or have progressed during platinum-based therapy
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1,500/mcl
- Platelets greater than or equal to 100,000/mcl
- Creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 x institutional upper limit normal (ULN)
- Bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN
- Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) (aspartate aminotransferase [AST]) less than or equal to 3 x ULN
- Alkaline phosphatase less than or equal to 2.5 x ULN
- Neurologic function: no neuropathy (sensory and motor) less than or equal to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 1
- Patients must have signed an approved informed consent and authorization permitting release of personal health information
- Patients must meet pre-entry requirements
- Patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to study entry and be practicing an effective form of contraception
Cautions and prohibited medications/treatments
- Since elesclomol is a substrate for cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9), cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19), and cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and an inducer of CYP3A4, cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2), cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6), and cytochrome P450 2E1 (CY2E1), it is recommended that the following be used with caution: sensitive substrates of CYP3A4, CYP1A2, and CY2E1, and strong inhibitors and inducers of CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have had prior therapy with elesclomol or prior second-line cytotoxic chemotherapy
- Patients who have received radiation to more than 25% of marrow-bearing areas
- Patients with a history of other invasive malignancies, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer and other specific malignancies are excluded if there is any evidence of other malignancy being present within the last three years; patients are also excluded if their previous cancer treatment contraindicates this protocol therapy
- Patients who have received prior radiotherapy to any portion of the abdominal cavity or pelvis OTHER THAN for the treatment of ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer are excluded; prior radiation for localized cancer of the breast, head and neck, or skin is permitted, provided that it was completed more than three years prior to registration, and the patient remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease
- Patients who have received prior chemotherapy for any abdominal or pelvic tumor OTHER THAN for the treatment of ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer are excluded; patients may have received prior adjuvant chemotherapy for localized breast cancer, provided that it was completed more than three years prior to registration, and that the patient remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease
- Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding

The initiative, Dialogue@Princeton, is funded by a three-year, $225,000 grant awarded in July by the Bildner Family Foundation. Fleurette King, who most recently ran the Office of Diversity Education at DePaul University in Chicago, is joining the Office of Campus Life as the coordinator of Dialogue@Princeton.
As part of the initiative, a $30,000 Bildner Fund for the Advancement of Diversity on Campus has been launched to support projects dealing with race, ethnicity, gender, faith, class differences, social justice and other issues. Applications are now being accepted for grants.
"I hope we can redouble Princeton's efforts to make this a place that is truly inclusive for all of the students here, which is particularly important in a time when we're getting more students of varied backgrounds and income levels," said Janet Dickerson, vice president for campus life.
U.S. minorities and international students currently constitute 34.8 percent of Princeton's total undergraduate population, up from 32.1 percent four years ago.
One major goal of the initiative is to expand the University's ongoing Sustained Dialogue program, which currently includes 12 groups of about 10 people who meet twice a month to discuss diversity-related issues.

She has returned again and again to the archetypal form of the fork and blade, each of them essential implements in the shaping and manipulation of built and natural landscapes. By referencing such tool shapes in glass, Rea sets up a paradox of use and function, drawing attention to the gradient and direction of transmitted light as it interacts with these attenuated forms. The blade-like forms of Balancing the blades curve away from the wall in order to cast shafts of coloured light, completing a visual composition. Rea's work is strongly located within the cultural and physical framework of her home city of Canberra, making reference to its planned imposition on the natural landscape with the geometry of the precision tool, and the measurement and manipulation of light.
