Tamoxifen and Radiation Therapy for Early Breast Cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I had a lumpectomy for a Grade 1 breast cancer of 12mm with lymph node clearance. I am now taking Tamoxifen and my surgeon and radiation oncologist are advising follow up radiotherapy, due to start within the next few weeks. My reading indicates this is probably beneficial. I would appreciate your comments.
Lawrence J. Solin, MD, FACR, Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
For patients with early stage breast cancer, breast-conserving surgery (also commonly called lumpectomy) is almost always followed by radiation treatment. Research studies have shown that the use of radiation treatment after lumpectomy markedly reduces the likelihood that the tumor will come back in the breast, thereby increasing the likelihood that the patient can keep her breast. The reason that for this is that studies from mastectomy specimens (removal of the whole breast) have shown that sometimes small cancer deposits are seen away from the primary tumor in other parts of the breast, and radiation is usually effective in controlling these other cancer deposits in the breast. However, if radiation is not used after lumpectomy, these other small cancer deposits can grow and cause a recurrence in the breast. Tamoxifen also reduces the risk that tumor will recur, but the best results are seen for patients when both Tamoxifen and radiation are used, even for small breast cancers.

Public Charger Protocol
Sep 29, 2014
The number of plug-in cars is growing at a much faster pace than the number of public charging stations so there is growing completion for the limited supply. To facilitate the use of these charging stations we need to have some guidelines so we can avoid conflict and maximize electric miles driven.
When you drive a plug-in car like the Prius Plug-in that only gives you 11 miles of all electric range you find yourself making a lot of use of public charging so it's frustrating when you get to a charger and you can't use it, not because there are other Plug-in cars charging but for other reasons.
In the past it used to be ICE cars that would park in the charging spots but recently I have been seeing EV drivers blocking the spots. Last week on two occasions I saw all 4 charging spaces occupied at a location in Beverly Hills but both times only 1 car was actually connected to a charger.
I thought it was time to put down my thoughts on Public Charger sharing protocol so here are my rules for sharing public charging.
1. It is never OK for a car to park in a public charging space when you are not charging. It doesn't matter if it is an ICE car or a Plug-in, these spaces are there to allow people to charge and should never be treated as convenient parking spaces. If you don't need the charge, or the charger is incompatible with your car, don't take the space.
2. Move your car as soon as you can after the car is done charging. Cars that sit fully charged for hours at a public charging station are just as bad as cars that are parked and not charging. The exception to this is long term parking at places like airports, train stations, and park and ride lots where people are expected to park for long periods of time.
3. It is never OK to use the vehicle's timer to delay the start of charging. If you don't want to charge your car immediately leave the space for someone who does. The same thing applies to parking the car in an EV space then returning to the car later to plug in instead of plugging in right away.
4 In California and Washington it is never OK to unplug another car as these two states have laws that allow for ticketing or towing cars that are parked without being connected to a charger. In other states it is generally accepted that cars that are full may be unplugged. If you do unplug another car please leave a note saying why you unplugged it. Also be sure you know that the car is full before unplugging. Each car has its own indicator that shows it is full so unless you know how the car displays full don't assume and unplug the car.
5. If you arrive at a charging station that is in use and want to get a charge and you can find a space close enough that the cable will reach your charge port then park your car in the space and leave the charge port door open. It might also be worth leaving a note on the other person's car especially if the open charge port is not easily visible from the EV charging spaces. If you see a car with the charge port open plug it in when you are done charging. The exception to this rule is fee based chargers. You should not expect another driver to pay for your charging so leave a cell phone number in this case.
6. Public charging is on a first come first served basis. Just because you have a pure EV (BEV) doesn't mean that you have a right to the charger. However if a BEV driver and a PHEV driver arrive at the same time then the two drivers should figure out who needs the charge the most. If the BEV driver needs to charge to get home then the PHEV driver should let them use the charger even if they were there first. If the BEV driver can get home with their available charge then the first come first served rule should apply. Remember, the idea of public charging is not to act as a lifeline for those who stray beyond their vehicles range but to maximize the number of electric miles travelled.
7. It is never OK to plug in to outlets in parking structures or parking lots without permission. I'm not referring to parking spaces that are marked for public charging but to those outlets that you find around parking structures or in mini mall, hotel, apartment, or condo parking lots. For starters these circuits may not be rated for the current required to charge a car so you may end up tripping a breaker. The bottom line is that taking electricity without permission is stealing, so don't do it. When you ask for permission to plug-in it is also good practice to offer to pay for the electricity you use. Most companies will decline payment but it is nice to offer and you are more likely to get a positive answer.
It's nice to have public charging available but the number of chargers being installed is dwarfed by the number of new plug-in cars hitting the roads, especially here in Southern California. In this area we have had about 36 chargers added this year whereas we are putting around 1,000 new plug-in cars per month on the streets.
The current infrastructure is starting to age too. Of the three public chargers I use the most all of them currently have had at least 1 charger out of service in the last few months. Getting these chargers repaired is slow. One of the Chargepoint chargers in Beverly Hills was stuck in its holster for at least three months.
It is inevitable that there are going to be issues with public charging as more and more drivers try to use a small and possibly diminishing pool of chargers, but by following the rules above we can make better use of the charging opportunities we have.

Explore the Redwoods - Rotorua
Just five minutes from downtown Rotorua, a beautiful forest awaits you.
Just five minutes from downtown Rotorua, a beautiful forest awaits you.
The Whakarewarewa Forest is the perfect spot to feel revived with awe inspiring tree canopies and a myriad of places to explore from walking, horse riding and mountain biking trails, to lookouts, cafes and picnic spots. Make time on your trip to Rotorua to enjoy the tranquillity of the forest.
Here are some tips on how to make the most of a visit to our beautiful Whakarewarewa Redwood Forest.
Depending on how much time you've got, there is an array of walking trails from six short easy circuits starting at the Redwoods Gift Shop and Visitor Centre through to full day hikes which start in the majestic Redwood Grove.
A popular 30 minute walk covering 2km is the Redwood Memorial Grove Track. This meanders through breath-taking Californian Redwoods which were planted in 1901. These towering trees stand at approximately 67 metres tall and create a wonderful canopy.
They are dedicated to the memory of the men of the New Zealand Forest Service who died in the two world wars. Another feature of this track is the board walk which takes you across a thermal pond, home to a variety of exotic aquatic plant life.
Redwoods Junior Explorer Trail
To encourage fun exploration, there are Kids Discovery Packs with puzzles, art and goodies as well as the Redwoods Junior Explorer Trail Map for children aged 6 years or older.
Go on the trail and answer all the questions to become a Junior Explorer and collect a reward when you finish! These packs are available for purchase at the Redwoods Gift Shop and Visitor Centre.
Mountain Biking
The term isn't as scary as many of you think… while it may bring to mind technical trails and jumps we see the pros do on television, there are also beautiful free flowing trails that kids as young as 3 tackle on their bikes, and if they can do it – you can too.
The Whakarewarewa Forest has 130 kilometres of trails flowing in a way that is guaranteed to bring a smile to the face of beginners right through to skilled, experienced riders. Twenty years of trail evolution means there is a wonderful mix of styles and grades to suit all levels.
Pick up a map from the Redwoods Information Centre and then decide whether you'd like to hire bikes and go exploring or otherwise hire a guide to show you the best spots and a few tips on how to ride a mountain bike.
Picnic spots
There are many great spots for a picnic in the Forest. Here are a few favorites:
The Redwood Grove – As you enter Longmile Road, you can't miss the Redwood Grove with picnic tables in the centre and a coffee trailer nearby. The perfect spot for a picnic before a walk.
Puarenga Stream – you can either bike or walk to this spot which has stunning crystal clear water and ferns, making the place feel magical. There are many seats along this trail for a picnic.
Whakarewarewa Valley view – While this is a bit of a hike/bike uphill, it's worth the effort with a stunning view of Lake Rotorua and the Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley.

Our History
| The first Clear Lake newspaper was the Independent, established by Silas Noyes and John M. Brainard. The first issue bore the date, February 10, 1860. Its publication was continued for about a year, when it was moved to Hancock Country. The Observer was then established in 1869. George E. Frost was the first proprietor of the Observer. After two years of editorship he sold the office to Judge M.P. Rosecrans who made the paper entirely independent, in tone and sentiment, where before it had been strongly republican. Mr. Rosecrans soon sold the office to parties in Belmond. Mr. Frost then purchased a new outfit and for 6 or 7 years was the editor. In 1879 he sold to Mr. Bush who changed the name to the Clear Lake Mirror.
In April 1896, J.C. Davenport established another weekly paper here which he called the Clear Lake Reporter. These two weekly newspapers combined under one ownership with the Reporter buying the Mirror in 1951. They operated as twin weeklies with the Mirror published on Tuesdays and the Reporter on Fridays until January 1955 when the two joined together to become the Mirror and Reporter. The Clear Lake Mirror-Reporter has been under current ownership since 1983 when a corporation was formed as Prefin, Inc. The team of Dave Presler and Michael Finnegan comprised the business which also owned other area newspapers. Presler moved on from the company and focus was placed to ownership of the Clear Lake paper by Finnegan, selling off the other newspapers and concentrating all his efforts into the newspaper as it currently stands. Below is the staff of the Mirror-Reporter which is now a weekly, publishing on Wednesdays.
Our Staff
Michael J. Finnegan - Owner/Publisher
As well as Owner/Publisher of the Mirror Reporter Mr. Finnegan is also the President of Prefin Inc. which purchased the Clear Lake Mirror-Reporter in 1983. Finnegan, a native of Charles City, Iowa received his AA Degree from North Iowa Area Community College in 1971 and a BA degree in Journalism from Iowa State University in 1973.
Marianne Morf - Editor
Marianne Morf joined the Clear Lake Mirror-Reporter as editor when Prefin acquired the newspaper from Mid-America Publishing Corp. in 1983. She performs a variety of duties, including coverage of city government and school issues, as well as all aspects of the news department. Following graduation from Newman High School in Mason City, she earned a BA degree in Journalism from Iowa State University.

Last year, one of our younger neighbors was having some difficulty with her bicycle. She got on it, rode for a little bit, and would hop off, telling everyone around that there was something wrong with her bike.
I walked over to her bike and examined it for a bit, then I told her I had something in our garage that would fix her bike quickly and she could borrow it for a bit.
I went into our garage, retrieved an air pump, and brought it out to her. I showed her how to use it and I told her that if she needed it again, she could just ask.
A few days ago, she knocked on our door and asked if she could borrow "that tire thing-ey." I let her borrow it and within fifteen minutes, she was happily riding her bike through the neighborhood.
Our bicycle pump is a scarcely used thing, even in a family with four people on bicycles. In that girl's house, she may actually be the only bicycle rider, so owning a bike pump is a pretty superfluous expense, especially when there's one right in the neighborhood that she can use.
There's no reason for them to invest money in a bicycle tire pump if there's one available that can easily be used. The same is true for a lot of items one might rarely use, from hand saws to drills, from wet-vacs to tall ladders.
Borrow such items from a neighbor (or a friend) and let that neighbor (or friend) borrow freely from you. When you need an item, just check with a neighbor first instead of buying or renting the item.
Of course, this requires having a relationship with your neighbors as well as your own strong social network. It takes relationships for this to work.
So, the first step toward saving money in this regard is simply getting to know the people around you. Introduce yourself to your neighbors. Have a conversation with them. Chat with them a bit when you see them around. If you hit it off at all, invite them over for a meal.
Once you've done that, it's not too much of a stretch to simply knock on their door if you find yourself in need of a particular item.
Similarly, if you see a neighbor in need and have an item that can help, don't hesitate to offer. The outcome of that situation is almost always going to be a positive one and will often open the door to your future borrowing, which will save you money. The cost for you doing this will usually be negligible (a tiny amount of wear on an item that you almost never use), but the reward can be tremendous.
Borrowing items is a great way to save money, provided you've got the relationships to tap.

Mt Sunday on Sunday
A journey into Edoras, Lord of the Rings territory complete with Frodo and Gandalf.
1 / 7
It dawned a sunny Sunday morning, a sleep in and late start saw 16 of us embark on a journey into Edoras - Lord of the Rings land, an adventure that saw us joined by Frodo and Gandalf.
We left Ashburton and Methven at a resonable hour and met at 10am at the Mt Somers General Store for pre trip coffee. While there we ran into a large contingent from the Mid Canterbury 4WD club. Once the coffee was ordered and filled it was back into the vehicles and into the back country towards Lord of the Rings territory.
At the entrance to the Hakatere Conservation Area we stopped at the Hakatere Heritage Buildings to have a look around and to hear about the plans in place for restoring the buildings and turning them into a summer visitor centre and DOC office. It was great to see them under the fresh dumping of snow that came through only a few days earlier.
Back into the vehicles and on with our journey (to middle earth), our next stop was Lake Camp and Lake Clearwater. Lake Camp was perfectly calm and not a ripple on the surface, Lake Clearwater had a few ripples but we stopped at the road at the end of the baches and looked down on the lake. Here we ran into a group from the Geraldine Tramping Club who were also out for the day and planning on taking a walk up to Mt Sunday too. We started wondering what the most number of people on top of Mt Sunday was at any one time.....
Onwards with the journey once more, deeper into the back country, closer to middle earth and Edoras and to the Lord of the Rings. We stopped at a little viewing area just before the road drops down to the Potts River and passes Mt Potts Station and Helipark. While appreciating the view, who should take the same opportunity..........none other than Gandalf and Frodo, on their own journey to middle earth.
We climbed back into the vehicles and headed to the car park at the start of the track to Mt Sunday. The group from the Geraldine club were already there, but there were no issues with car parking as there is ample room for loads of cars. We sorted ourselves out got our gear and headed out on the track. We were also taking the opportunity to check out DOC handywork with the new bridges and boardwalks. Now there is no need to get your feet wet getting from the car park to Mt Sunday, it's a dry feet journey from now on. Which is a pretty good thing especially at this time of year when icy cold doesn't even begin to describe the temperature of the water.
By now there is only a scattering of snow on the ground and we make it to the top with ease. Up top we come across the Geraldine group sitting down to lunch and a cuppa. We dutifully join them, cuppas all round and lively conversation. In answer to how many on top, all up there were about 32 of us, not sure if it's a record but it's definitely a decent number.
With lunch done and dusted, and the arrival of Gandalf and Frodo done we headed on our return journey back to the cars where we were engaged in a friendly snow ball fight with the Geraldine lot. No winners or losers just lots of sunny wet fun.
We then carried on up the road to Erewhon Station, home of the Clydesdale Horse stud. Here we stopped at the yard had a chat to one of the workers before taking a short walk to the Clyde River and a bit of a way into it to check out the big mountain scenery. Next time we are out here we will be taking a clydesdale and wagon ride further up the Clyde because walking on the boulders is a bit draining, best to let the animals take care of that.

Once you've perused the firewall primer, learn about the details of port knocking here. Ideas about how to use port knocking in simple situations are presented, as well as an outline of how to use encryption to avoid eavesdropping.
Port Knocking
The most secure system is a system which does not permit any connections from any external system. Such a system, though protected, is impractical - nobody can connect, independent of their trust status. This essentially describes a computer that is not networked. These kinds of computers are not a lot of fun.
To discriminate between trusted and untrusted users - something that firewalls cannot natively do - an authentication method called port knocking is used. The following is an example of how port knocking can be used to completely secure a system against most attacks, achieving a high level of security while maintaining flexibility.
Step 1 : Ports are closed
First, all ports on a system are closed, while connections to some number of these closed ports are logged. This is shown in Figure 1. You can see that the port for ssh (tcp/22) is closed, as are ports for other applications. The ssh/mail/web/pop services are running. In this state, no remote host is able to connect.
Port knocking is not well suited for protecting public services such as web and mail. The reason for this is that establish a connection to protected services is predicated on the knowledge of a secret port knock. Connections to public services can come from anywhere and anyone and it is counterproductive to use port knocking to protect these ports. For this reason, the description of port knocking in this section will use ssh (tcp/22) as the example port. It is best to delegate public services such as web and mail to bastion servers in a firewall's DMZ zone (a distinct network lying between the internet and a fully protected intranet).
Figure 2 shows an example of a secure system protected with port knocking. This figure illustrates that remote hosts cannot connect to the ssh (tcp/22) port, because connections to the port are actively blocked for all IP addresses, which are assumed to be untrusted.
Step 2 : Trusted User Knocks on Closed Ports
Next, a trusted user from a blocked IP address initiates connections, in a particular order, to some of the logged ports in sequence. This port knock sequence is a secret known only to trusted users. In this way, the trusted user can make his or her IP address change status from untrusted to trusted. This is shown in Figure 3. The knocking phase is analogous to blindly knocking on invisible doors. The user cannot detect that ports are being monitored for secret knocks and - more importantly - neither can anyone else.
Step 3 : Firewall Rules are Modified to Permit Trusted User to Connect
Once the firewall detects a well-formatted and acceptable knock sequence, a rule is automatically inserted into the firewall to allow connections to the ssh (tcp/22) port from the trusted user's IP address. Now, this user can connect, as shown in Figure 4. The port was opened only to the IP address encoded in the port knock. Other IP addresses remain blocked.
Closing Ports and Extensibility
Once the user has finished the session, another port knock sequence can be used to similarly manipulate the firewall rules and close the port. By implementing encryption into the port knock sequence and embedding the client's IP address in the sequence the system can be made extremely resistant to intrusion. Because authentication is done using a knock sequence and mediated by the firewall, by appropriately designing the form, content and encryption of the sequence it is possible to
Is port knocking stealthy?
It is possible to detect the presence of an active network service. Even if you don't have a correct username and password, as long as connections are allowed from your IP, you can simply attempt to make a connection to the service to see if it's running. Here is an example: I can detect that the host
> telnet mail.hotmail.com 25 Trying 126.96.36.199... Connected to mc5.law1.hotmail.com (184.108.40.206). Escape character is '^]'. 220 mc5-f36.law1.hotmail.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 5.0.2195.5600 ready at Mon, 21 Apr 2003 13:23:23 -0700 EHLO 250-mc5-f36.law1.hotmail.com (02.02.00.0007) Hello [188.8.131.52] 250-SIZE 4278190 250-PIPELINING 250-8bitmime 250-BINARYMIME 250-CHUNKING 250-VRFY 250-AUTH LOGIN 250-AUTH=LOGIN 250-X-HMAUTH 250 OK QUIT 221 mc5-f36.law1.hotmail.com Service closing transmission channel Connection closed by foreign host.
In one short connection I know that the host is running the Microsoft ESMTP Mail Server and I know the version of this service, 5.0.2195.5600. I greeted the service using the EHLO (HELO is also supported) command, and learned a few more things. If I were an espresso-sipping malfeasant, I could now ask my buddies whether they know of any way to exploit or "inconvenience" this particular version of Microsoft's Mail Service.
Getting back to port knocking... individuals who do not know the proper port sequence cannot connect to the secured port because, by the way the port knocking mechanism is designed, the port is closed. Furthermore, it's not possible for anyone to (a) determine whether a service at this secured port is running (b) determine whether the host is listening for knocks or (c) successfully use port probes to find out the knock sequence. Knowledge that port knocks were being listened for would be of little use because the identity of the ports used in port knocking is unknown. Even if the identity of the ports could be discovered, a curious user would be faced with the task of guessing the sequence by trial and error. Such brute-force attempts are easily spotted by intrusion detection systems, such as snort, and the offending IP address can be quickly blocked.
Without being able to determine the sequence by probing, intercepting the sequence by listening to network traffic is another method that can be employed. If you are knocking on your server and someone monitors your connection attempts they could duplicate your knock and gain access. This vulnerability can be addressed by (a) incorporating the IP to be allowed in in the knock sequence and (b) encrypting the knock sequence. If this is done, even if the sequence is intercepted and executed by a third-party there would be no harm since the encrypted IP address has not been altered. In order for the IP address to be modified, the knock sequence would have to be decrypted, using knowledge about the method of encryption - very unlikely. Maximum protection can be achieved by using one time pads for encryption of the knocks.
In the unlikely event that someone gains knowledge of a knock sequence and gains access to an open port, they are still faced with getting past the authentication required by the listening application. Port knocking is an additional security layer and does not replace existing application security. It provides a stealthy way to carry out network authentication in complete privacy. If encrypted knocks are used, an additional level of protection is achieved, hardening any network host's services against attacks.

Dr. R. Richard Ray Jr. of the Hope College kinesiology faculty has been appointed dean for the social sciences at the college.
A member of the faculty since 1982, he succeeds Dr. Nancy Sonneveldt Miller, who is retiring at the end of June after serving as dean since 1985. He has been appointed following a nationwide search based on the high quality of his service to the college and of his service and scholarship within his primary discipline of athletic training, according to the college's provost, Dr. James N. Boelkins.
"Dr. Ray was the consensus choice of the search committee based on his understanding of and commitment to our mission, experience as chair of a complex department, understanding of planning and assessment, previous leadership of the North Central Association accreditation process, national recognition in his field, work ethic, inclusive perspective, communication skills and ability to be a systems thinker," Boelkins said. "Dr. Ray will provide effective and caring leadership for the Social Science Division."
Ray is a professor of kinesiology and athletic trainer at Hope. He has served as chairperson of the department of kinesiology since 2003.
Under his leadership, the college's athletic training program grew into a full major that requires its graduates to complete 48 credit hours in a variety of disciplines and at least 1,200 hours of clinical work under the supervision of a certified athletic trainer. Hope was one of the first Michigan colleges to have its athletic training program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).
In addition to his other service to Hope, he led the college's successful effort to seek re-accreditation in 2004 by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
Ray has been extensively involved in the discipline of athletic training at the regional and national level. He was co-chair of the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) Education Task Force, was president of the Great Lakes Athletic Trainers' Association (GLATA) from 1990 to 1992, and is also a member and former president of the Michigan Athletic Trainers' Society. He is former editor of the professional journal "Athletic Therapy Today" and served as associate editor of the "Journal of Athletic Training."
He has received multiple honors through the years in recognition of his service to his profession and teaching. In June 2006, he was elected to the NATA Hall of Fame, the highest honor in the athletic training profession. In March 2004, he received an "Outstanding Educator Award" from GLATA, from which he had also received a "Distinguished Service Award" in March of 2002. In June of 2001, he received the "Sayers 'Bud' Miller Distinguished Educator Award" from NATA. In May of 1999, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame by the Michigan Athletic Trainers' Society, which had presented him with its "Distinguished Athletic Trainer Award" in 1995.
In April 2005, he was inducted into the HonorsAcademy of the Health, Physical Education & Recreation (HPER) Department of Western Michigan University, from which he completed his master's and doctorate in 1980 and 1990 respectively. In January of 2000, he received Hope's "Provost's Award for Excellence in Teaching."
Ray has a wide range of research interests, and has received several grants to support his work. He is the editor or author of the books "Management Strategies in Athletic Training" (2005, 2000, 1994), "Counseling in Sports Medicine" (1999) and "Case Studies in Athletic Training Administration" (1995), all published by Human Kinetics. He is also among the more than a dozen current and former Hope faculty members who contributed chapters to the book "Beyond Tests and Quizzes: Creative Assessment in the College Classroom," published in October 2007 by Jossey-Bass, an imprint of John Wiley & Sons Inc. of San Francisco, Calif.
He has written numerous articles in scientific publications, and has presented papers at professional conferences including the annual clinical symposia in 2000 of both the Japan Athletic Trainers Organization in Tokyo and the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association in Niagara Falls.
In addition to holding his graduate degrees from Western Michigan University, he is a 1979 graduate of the University of Michigan.
Prior to joining the Hope faculty, Ray was an assistant athletic trainer at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan., for two years. While pursuing his master's degree he served as head athletic trainer at Kalamazoo College and as a graduate assistant athletic trainer at Western Michigan University.
The departments within the social science division at Hope include communication; economics, management and accounting; education; kinesiology; political science; psychology; and sociology and social work. As dean Ray will also be responsible for the college's CASA (Children's After School Achievement), PATH (Program for the Academically Talented at Hope), Project TEACH (Teachers Entering A Career through Hope) and Upward Bound programs, all of which are designed for local school children, as well as the intercollegiate athletic program and the Carl Frost Center for Social Science Research.

Calcium: The Teen Bone Builder
الزيارات: 1709
During the teenage years, the growing bones absorb more calcium from the blood than at any other time of life. By early adulthood, our bones stop accepting deposits. Not long after that, the gradual loss of calcium begins.
Recommended Amount of Daily Calcium:
Boys and girls aged nine to eighteen are advised to consume one thousand three hundred milligrams of calcium per day. That's equivalent to about four and a half eight-ounce glasses of low-fat milk.
Calcium Supplements:
The National Institutes of Health supports the use of supplements for young people who don't get sufficient calcium through their diet. For optimal absorption, no more than five hundred milligrams should be taken at one time. Your pediatrician can guide you as to the appropriate dosage and dosing schedule. Because adolescents utilize calcium relatively efficiently, they may be best off ingesting the tablets between meals.
Good Sources of Calcium:
• Most foods in the milk group: milk and dishes made with milk, such as puddings and soups.
• Cheeses: mozzarella, cheddar, Swiss, Parmesan, cottage cheese.
• Yogurt.
• Canned fish with soft bones, including sardines, anchovies, salmon.
• Dark-green leafy vegetables, such as kale, mustard greens, turnip greens.
• Tofu, if processed with calcium sulfate.
• Tortillas made from lime-processed corn.
• Calcium-fortified juice, bread, cereal.
Other Ways for Teens to Build Strong Bones:
• Eat dairy products and other foods fortified with vitamin D. Vitamin D supports bone development by increasing the body's absorption of calcium from food. Most of us get all the vitamin D we need from everyday exposure to the sun; the rays trigger an internal chemical reaction, producing vitamin D.
• For kids who aren't getting enough calcium, make use of calcium-fortified milk, orange juice, cereals and granola bars. Some of these products contain so much calcium that a single serving takes a youngster halfway to her recommended daily value.
• Your teen isn't a milk drinker? There are other ways to obtain calcium through the diet. Many adolescents don't like milk, especially girls. Try tempting your son or daughter with chocolate-flavored skim milk. You can also disguise milk by adding it to soups, puddings, baked products, sauces and stews.
• Alternatives to milk include cheese and yogurt. Eight ounces of yogurt and two ounces of cheese contain about the same amount of calcium as eight ounces of milk and therefore each would equal one serving. Half a cup of cottage cheese, however, is lower in the mineral and counts as half a serving.
• Go easy on the salt. Besides its association with high blood pressure (hypertension), which is a risk factor in heart disease, kidney disease and stroke, a diet high in salt may deprive the body of calcium by increasing the amount excreted in the urine. Since about 75 percent of the salt we eat has already been added to the various processed foods in our diet, this means not just holding back on the use of the salt shaker, but also cutting down on fast foods and other processed foods, as well as high sodium seasonings like soy sauce, bouillon cubes, meat tenderizer, tamari sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
• Stay physically active. Adolescents' bones respond to exercise by growing stronger and denser. Any activity that gets your teenager up and moving will do, whether it's jogging, dancing, walking the dog, bowling or jumping jacks.
• Don't smoke tobacco or drink alcohol. In addition to their many other detrimental effects, cigarettes and alcohol decrease bone mass.

John Latina
Assistant Head Coach - Run Game Coordinator/Offensive Line
Coach Info:
Assistant Head Coach - Run Game Coordinator/Offensive Line
Alma Mater:
Virginia Tech '81
(919) 684-2635
> More Videos
John Latina joined the Duke staff in December of 2011 and serves as the program's Assistant Head Coach and Run Game Coordinator. A member of David Cutcliffe's staff at Ole Miss from 1999-2004, Latina coaches the offensive line. After serving the 2012 season as an assistant coach, Latina was promoted to his current role in February of 2013.
Latina may have had his most decorated group in 2014 as right guard Laken Tomlinson became Duke's fifth consensus All-America honoree and was a first round selection (No. 28 overall) in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions. Tomlinson also received the Courage Award presented by the Football Writers Association of America in conjunction with the Orange Bowl, an award presented annually to a player, coach or support person in college football who displays courage, on or off the field, and was named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, which recognizes community service in addition to academic and athletic achievement. Also, left tackle Takoby Cofield earned third team All-ACC accolades and signed a free agent contract with the NFL's Washington Redskins in the spring.
The offensive line surrendered just 41.0 tackles for lost yardage in 2014, an average of 3.15 TFL per game — and both totals were the lowest in the nation. The Blue Devils also allowed 13.0 sacks in 2014, tied for the 10th fewest allowed among FBS programs, as Duke led the ACC in fewest sacks allowed per passing attempt for the second straight season.
Latina's unit also opened holes for a 2014 rushing attack that averaged 181.85 rushing per game, its highest average since gaining 198.64 yards per contest in 1977. Since Latina arrived after the 2011 season, Duke has nearly doubled its average rushing yards per game, from 94.08 yards per game in 2011 to last year's total.
The 2013 offensive line was spearheaded by a pair of All-ACC selections — first team pick Tomlinson and third team choice Perry Simmons — as the Blue Devils ranked among ACC leaders in sacks allowed per passing attempt (1st; 27.8), scoring (5th; 32.8 ppg), total offense (4th; 426.1 ypg), rushing offense (5th; 178.0 ypg) and passing offense (6th; 248.1 ypg). On its way to the ACC Coastal Division championship, the 2013 Duke squad set a school record for total points (459) while becoming the first team in school history to post 25-plus rushing touchdowns and 25-plus passing touchdowns in the same season.
Duke's offensive front aided in the protection of quarterbacks Anthony Boone and Brandon Connette, who combined to complete 296-of-467 (.634) passes for 3,472 yards with 26 TDs while opening holes for a ground attack that featured Connette's school single-season record-tying 14 rushing touchdowns.
Simmons saw his career come to a close after 50 consecutive starts at right tackle, and the two-time Academic All-America choice was named one of 16 National Football Foundation Scholar-Athletes. In addition, he was the recipient of the 2013 Jack Tatum Award as the ACC's top senior student-athlete for football.
In 2012, the Duke offensive line, headlined by All-ACC selections Dave Harding and Simmons, ranked second in the conference in sacks allowed per game as quarterback Sean Renfree topped the 3,000-yard barrier for the second time in his career.
Duke's 2012 passing game also featured All-ACC wide receivers Jamison Crowder (76 receptions, 1,074 yards, 8 touchdowns) and Conner Vernon (85-1,074-8), and the duo established a conference single-season record for most combined catches while becoming just the second pair in league history to each post over 1,000 receiving yards in the same season.
In May, 2012, Harding spearheaded a well-digging mission trip to Ethiopia that included teammates Cofield, Conor Irwin, Brian Moore, Simmons, Tomlinson, Joey Finison, Teddy Force, Travis Gibson and Cody Robinson.
Latina joined the Duke staff following two years (2010-11) as the offensive coordinator at the University of Akron. Prior to that, he mentored the offensive line for four seasons (2005-08) at Notre Dame.
During Latina's stint in South Bend, the Notre Dame offensive front opened holes for a pair of 1,000-yard rushing seasons for running back Darius Walker, who became just the fourth Irish running back to eclipse 1,000 rushing yards in consecutive seasons. In 2006, the line helped protect quarterback Brady Quinn as he surpassed 3,000 passing yards for the second consecutive campaign en route to receiving the Maxwell Award and the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award.
Notre Dame participated in the Fiesta, Sugar and Hawai'i bowl games during Latina's coaching tenure.
Latina's six-year (1999-04) tenure at Ole Miss was headlined by five winning seasons and four bowl game appearances — Independence Bowl (twice), Music City Bowl and Cotton Bowl. In 2003, the Rebels went 10-3, shared the SEC Western Division championship with LSU and defeated Oklahoma State in the Cotton Bowl as the offense established school records for points scored (442) and total offensive yards (5,631). That squad was led by quarterback Eli Manning, who earned SEC Player of the Year and first team All-America honors before being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
No stranger to the ACC, Latina spent five years (1994-98) at Clemson, helping the program to three bowl games — once to the Gator Bowl and twice to the Peach Bowl. While with the Tigers, he coached six All-ACC offensive linemen.
Latina also spent five seasons (1989-93) at Kansas State where, in 1993, the Wildcats went 9-2-1, defeated Wyoming in the Copper Bowl and finished the year ranked 20th in the Associated Press poll. The bowl win capped Kansas State's most successful season in over eight decades.
Before his time at Kansas State, Latina served on the football staffs at both Pittsburgh (1982) and Temple (1983-88).
A 1981 graduate of Virginia Tech, Latina lettered three seasons as an offensive lineman with the Hokies. The New Castle, Pa., native spent the 1981 season as a graduate assistant coach, helping his alma mater to the Peach Bowl.
Latina and his wife, Michele, also from New Castle, have two sons, John and Michael.

Web and database security company CTO Amichai Shulman has suggested that Oracle may be losing momentum when it comes to fixing and patching database vulnerabilities when they become highlighted. Suggesting that in the past when Oracle had far fewer products, the company would patch 100 database vulnerabilities at a time.
"Oracle patching needs fixing. In the past, Oracle provided a solid process of receiving reports, validating and scheduling fixes. However, the quarterly patch cycle has seen a slow down in fixing database vulnerabilities since the acquisition and incorporation of so many companies and products during the past year," said Shulman.
Shulman has reviewed the Oracle Critical Patch Update, which was released this week and provides his analyzes on it: "Additionally troubling is the fact that Oracle gives no clear indication of what the vulnerabilities involve, citing concerns that hackers would transform these vulnerabilities into exploits. Unfortunately, hackers will already reverse-engineer this patch to determine these vulnerabilities, leaving Oracle customers as the only party without insight into what is happening."
If there is any truth in the severity of the so-termed "vulnerabilities" that Shulman has attempted to highlight, then Oracle customers may be left with a problem developing a workaround for their production applications. As for the patch released this week, Shulman says that there are four vulnerabilities rated 10 for severity.
"Within the database products, only six vulnerabilities are fixed. Two are remotely exploitable without authentication, yet the highest severity is only 7.5. It is also interesting to note only two vulnerabilities were fixed in the EBS suite. PeopleSoft and JDEdwards have 12 fixes. The primary exploit across the patch seems to be SQL injection in various modules. Exploits may emerge over the next few days, but we'll have to wait and see. Unfortunately, it will likely take much longer for companies to test and implement this patch into their production environment," said Shulman.
Oracle meanwhile asserts that this patch is part of longstanding series of solid updates, claiming "With this Critical Patch Update (CPU), Oracle's primary security vulnerability remediation program enters its seventh year (the first Critical Patch Update was released in January 2005). The program continues to provide customers with a consistent mechanism for the distribution of security fixes across all Oracle products. CPUs are issued on a predictable schedule published a year in advance."
According to Oracle's official Critical Patch Update blog, the company recently published a technical white paper titled "Recommendations for Leveraging the Critical Patch Update and Maintaining a Proper Security Posture" in an attempt to document the practices of a number of organizations, which had adopted repeatable processes to deal with the Critical Patch Updates. This white paper is designed to act as a starting point for administrators who may be new to the Critical Patch Update or feel overwhelmed with the prospect of patching their systems.

Get that 1st post out of the way!
Here's my info:
My name is Scott and I am a former owner of a medium-sized plastic card manufacturer based on the west coast. I was in the plastic card industry for the better part of two decades and handled everything from design work to production to fulfillment and managing a factory with just under 100 employees. My original website for collectors was based around people that collected casino-related cards (key cards, slot cards, etc.) and due to the demand at that site for a gift card section, this site was born. It has now grown into the world's largest repository for information about gift cards!
On a personal level, I now live in Iowa where my wife is originally from and have two young daughters that take up the majority of my time. In my spare time I also collect miniature Dodge Vipers and finally got a full-sized version a couple of years ago! I also collect US currency - mostly national banknotes from cities that I have a personal connection to.
That's it - let's hear about you!

Kristen Stewart's hatred towards paparazzi is reaching Kanye West levels.
The "Twilight" star was captured on video Monday lashing out at a photographer who was, naturally, following her around while she waited to be picked up behind a building in Los Angeles.
In a clip of the incident posted by TMZ, the photographer can be heard asking Stewart, "Why are you saying [expletive] off?"
"Because you are piece of [expletive] and you don't deserve to breath the same air I do," the 23-year-old actress responds.
Seconds later, Stewart is seen emerging from behind a wall and getting into a car.
As TMZ points out, the "Snow White and the Huntsman" star was already angry when the cameras began rolling. The reason behind her anger, however, remains a mystery.

Daily Pilot
This book is more than recipes for the cold weather holidays; Katzinger's included recipes for all the biggies, including Halloween, Hanukkah, and St. Patty's. Who else desperately misses Irish soda bread? Actually I could say that about dozens of holiday foods -- who misses Challah bread? Shortbread, stuffed cabbage, etc.--and this book covers all of those, plus plenty more "man, I really miss that [holiday food]!" dishes.
Not only does Jennifer create foods without using milk, eggs, soy, wheat, or animal-derived ingredients, but her recipes retain all of the charm of traditional holiday offerings without one all too common ingredient: guilt... This particular book has found its rightful place alongside my other treasured gluten-free cookbooks. Now, when I'm inspired to start making those naughty holiday desserts, there is somewhere to turn for sensible, digestible guidance. I highly recommend this book for anyone living gluten free lifestyle, or cooking for anyone who is not able to enjoy foods containing dairy, soy, wheat, or eggs.

Coach Bleecker Mini Brooklyn MessengerCategories:Other Brands
Featured prominently in Coach's new short video 'Wild Things' is the Bleecker Mini Brooklyn Messenger, a new season addition to the family that's going to be another favourite for those into bright miniature bags. Measuring just 23 cm across by 17 cm, it has many good things going for it. Besides the fact that it's small and adorable (ok, already said that) and that it comes in bright hues (ok, said that as well), it's also pretty affordable (priced from SGD645 and up) for a bag that comes in full leather, with hardware detailing and a long shoulder sling for wearing across the body.
Also available in much larger sizes for those requiring a roomier bag, you'll also find it in smooth calfskin, smooth calfskin with python trim, suede and even one in soft ponyhair.
Another bag worth checking out in the same colourful and miniature vein of bags that I can't resist is the Bleecker Mini Duffle that's a wee 16 cm across by 22 cm in height. Previously offered in much larger sizes a few seasons back, I believe this is the first time it's been made so small, the perfect weekend companion where you throw in the barest of essentials and head on out to town. Though the price for this little wonder isn't out yet, I'm guessing it to be just under SGD500, which would seem about right for a bag from Coach that's made of leather.
And before I sign off, here's the video I mentioned earlier, featuring models in elaborate animal heads, New York City and of course, the Bleecker Mini Brooklyn Messenger.

Bottega Veneta Gardena MessengerCategories:Other Brands
Simply put, the Gardena Messenger is Bottega Veneta's F/W14 answer to the men's messenger, the ever reliable companion that I'm pretty sure every guy in the world has owned at least once in their life. And because it's Bottega Veneta, they've naturally taken it many notches higher, with the soft and unstructured messenger made functional with its roomy interior and the hardy canvas strap that's also adjustable.
It's also one of those brands whose lineage you'll instantly recognise, that signature intrecciato weave an icon in her own right. Priced from SGD4960 and up, you'll find the Gardena Messenger in a variety of colours and leathers, from buffalo and calf hair to exotics like ostrich. Available from Bottega Veneta come early August, this would be the perfect bag for the guys seeking something safe, timeless and utilitarian.

3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Mini MessengerCategories:Other Brands
With more and more designer houses pushing out their own variations of the sling shoulder bag (remember Bottega Veneta's Olimpia, or Proenza Schouler's Courier?), here's another contender up for your consideration. From 3.1 Phillip Lim comes thePashli Mini Messenger, a nifty little structured leather number that measures just 23.5 cm by 16.5 cm.
Sporting a front flap that opens into a rather roomy interior complete with a zip pocket located towards the back of the bag, the bag also comes with an adjustable shoulder sling that will allow you to wear it at least one of two ways, long, across the body or short, over the shoulder. Priced at GBP655 and now available via Net-A-Porter, the bag's a boon for those looking for something a tad different and not too expensive. The fact that it's also 'shiny' in the golden hue of Bronze should also appeal to the Asian in us.

LOUIS VUITTON MARCEAU MESSENGER BAGCategories:Louis Vuitton

Ballet celebrates centennial and National Dance Week with contemporary and classical works
April 12, 2013
The Loyola Ballet, directed by Laura Zambrano, celebrates National Dance Week with a mixed repertory program of classical, contemporary and character works including several dances to popular music from the early 1900s in celebration of Loyola's centennial. The performances Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27 are set for 8 p.m. in the Louis J. Roussel Performance Hall, located in the Communications/Music Complex on Loyola University New Orleans' main campus.
Tickets are $12 for general admission and $8 for all students, seniors, children and Loyola faculty/staff, and are available at montage.loyno.edu or 504-865-2074. Tickets will also be available at the door 30 minutes prior to the performance. Free parking is available in the West Road Garage, accessible from St. Charles Avenue.
The performance features excerpts from Mikhail Glinka's opera "Ruslan and Lyudmila," with original choreography by Michel Fokine as staged by Zambrano and Gayle Parmelee. Rich in Eastern music and dance, the ballet tells the story of the Kievan knight, Ruslan, as he attempts to rescue his wife Lyudmila from an evil sorcerer.
The concert also features an excerpt from the one-act Russian ballet, "La Vivandiere" with choreography by Arthur Saint-Léon, reconstructed and staged by Pierre Lacotte. Also known as "Markitenka," the Romantic ballet features music by Cesare Pugni and Jean-Baptiste Nadaud. Additionally, the Pizzicato Polka from the ballet "Sylvia" will be performed, as well as two new contemporary works choreographed by Loyola business major Brandon Garza and forensic chemistry major Hilary Landry.
In recognition of Loyola's centennial, several dances set to popular music in 1912 will be performed. Students in the Loyola Preparatory Arts Program will dance to Randy Newman's "Ragtime Suite," and guest artists Komenka Ethnic Dance Ensemble will perform "Bal Masque," a waltz and mazurka set to music by Aram Khachaturian's "Masquerade Suite" by choreographer Cheryl O'Sullivan, co-director of Komenka and a Loyola ballet instructor.
National Dance Week, hailed by former President George W. Bush as "an opportunity for people to celebrate and recognize dance as a unique and inspiring art form," was established to bring greater recognition to the art of dance. Held annually in April, the week features dance organizations from across the country that celebrate by presenting educational and programmatic concerts for all ages.

Love any hoodie from Chrome and own 5
Hello, I am satisfied very and happy, practical products very and super deasing. Greetings from Poland ;-)
This jacket is fashionable as well as comfortable. I enjoy wearing slim jackets and this fits perfectly. Would definitely buy another.
Love it. Excellent fit and quality. I always feel like Chrome's stuff is well-thought out and even something like a simple hoodie feels/wears better than most of the others in my closet.
I'll give it 4 stars because Dustin's artwork really speaks to me, and looks great here as well, but... although the hoodie fits well and looks nice out of the packaging, after one machine wash the inside has pilled badly, and is covered with weird lint. Rolling with a lint roller revealed that the inside is still shedding material excessively, not what I'd expect after a thorough wash in cold water with clothing of like colors, and drying on low heat. I will say that it didn't shrink at all, and although the zipper is not "YKK", it seems to function smoothly. Hoping after a few more washing attempts the issue with the inside material improves, but I've never had this issue with any other similar garment, and just not exactly what I'd expected from the quality of other Chrome products I've owned.

So. I made it 30 days with no caffeine. Well, except on Half-Marathon day when I had about 6 ounces but you best forgive me for that or else we can't be friends. For real, okay. No one enjoys a stickler for the rules. Seriously. NOBODY.
Anyway. How did I celebrate that accomplishment this morning?
With a giant cup of fully leaded Peet's Holiday Blend. Sorry, I'm not sorry.
I have more to say about the entire Great Skin Care Experiment (A'Dell, put the Clarisonic back on your Christmas List!) but obviously giving up my morning coffee was the biggest damn deal of them all so I want to talk about that separately.
Despite my sensationalized title: I'm just not giving up coffee forever. Not gonna happen.
That said, I found this month so super refreshing that I really took pause for a moment and thought about it. I was far less irritable, my mood swings noticeably decreased, my morning appetite came back so I was up eating breakfast at a decent hour, I slept LIKE THE DEAD, and honestly after the first 4 days (which were totally rough) I felt like a rock star every morning: no caffeine required. These things? These are things one can not ignore.
The Real Deal
But it wasn't all sunshine and roses. The thing about coffee is that I REALLY enjoy it. And when I say coffee, I mean just that. Black coffee — no cream, no sugar, not fun coffee-infused beverages. I really REALLY love coffee. Part of that comes from the fact that I worked in the Specialty Coffee Industry for over 10 years. The tasting ritual and subsequent rabbit holes of information that you can dive down based on origins and brewing are similar to wine. And I really enjoy that in my life. Not having a connection to that for an entire month really felt like a loss for me. I know that sounds stupid, but it is 100% true. I gave it up, and I survived, but there was never a morning where I didn't really miss my morning cup. I missed tasting the variations in my beans. I missed switching it up to an Americano once in a while. I MISSED MY COFFEE! And the thing that really underscored that for me was it still felt like a loss even after I had gotten over missing my caffeine.
So how did I respond to all of that missing of my coffee? Well since I felt punished and like my last holdout vice was being taken away from me, I really let myself indulge in other things. Treats, baked goods, sugar, gluten, Halloween Candy — whatever. If it was a forbidden vice, I let myself have it! And in the end, I was NOT better for it. Mentally and emotionally I just felt so DOWN. But I wouldn't stop trying to fill the hole. That space for that delicious pleasure in my life was empty and so I did my best to make sure if it wasn't going to be filled with caffeine it would be filled with frosting of some sort. And seriously? It was gross.
I don't want use my consequent poor nutrition as a reason to dive right back into my prior habits. The good parts of giving up caffeine are just too much too overlook (though ironically, my skin didn't dramatically improve. BOO. But more on that later.) My sleep and appetite and overall function was so much better without daily caffeine imbibing for 5 hours a day. My hydration improved ten fold. All of these things I would like to keep around with maybe a few little tweaks.
So here's what I decided I can manage:
*I'm going to have a cup of coffee at home in the morning and I'm ONLY going to have one. Yum. I can't wait to get back to that. Before I was drinking 2-2.5. Garrett and I are also going to move in the direction of making that daily pot a half caf pot.
*I'm going to continue drinking herbal tea at work instead of coming into the office and brewing another cup or two. I think drinking tea at work all day long has been the biggest contributor to my overall feelings of good hydration. I want to keep up that good habit that I've put into place over the last 30 days.
*I'm going to start treating coffee like wine. I really enjoy it, and don't want to give it up. But if I feel like a part of my health is suffering because of it, or if my consumption is increasing I'm going to just STOP drinking it for a bit. My biggest fear when I embarked on this was that I was totally nursing a coffee addiction. But now I KNOW I can go 30 days without it, so if I need to rein it in in the future, I plan on doing it.
All of these things mean that I need be observant about my consumption. I am not great at moderation, and I'm usually not a big advocate for it. But I think with coffee, I need to LEARN how to moderate. So I'm willing to try. It seems sort of hard to me, but even harder is giving up something that I just really get great pleasure from. If it doesn't work, I'll rethink it, but for now I'm so happy to be back enjoying a cup of Joe!

A graduating Clarence Senior High School student who was looking forward to joining the Marine Corps was killed in a "horrible," high-speed motorcycle crash just before 9 a.m. Wednesday after he fled a state trooper.
The trooper stopped Patrick S. Conway, 18, on Main Street, just west of Sheridan Drive, for driving the high-performance motorcycle, sometimes known as a "crotch rocket," without a license plate, authorities said.
As the trooper exited his vehicle, Conway sped away. The trooper began a pursuit that ended less than two minutes later and 1½ miles farther west on Main Street, near the Harris Hill Road intersection, in a fiery head-on collision with a 2009 BMW X6 car, according to state police and witnesses.
Conway, who was thrown some 50 feet from his Honda motorcycle, was killed instantly, according to police.
"We have numerous witnesses saying that the young man was going over 100 mph and weaving in and out of oncoming traffic in the eastbound lanes and at one point riding on the shoulder of the east side of Main Street," a law enforcement official said. That area of Main Street has a 40-mph speed limit.
The trooper turned on his flashing lights and siren to begin the chase, authorities said, but was unable to catch up to the motorcycle.
One of the witnesses to the chase told The Buffalo News that he was filling up at a gas station by Shimerville Road when he heard the high-pitched whine of a speeding motorcycle.
"By the time I looked, he went by me in the blink of an eye, and then a trooper went by. The trooper was at a high speed, but there was no way he was going to close in on the motorcyclist. I thought to myself, this guy is as good as dead. There was no way he was going to avoid anything in his path. I rode a motorcycle for 20 years, and I know that at that speed, unless it is a wide-open road, there's not going to be a successful ending," the Clarence resident said.
After tanking up, he added, he drove west on Main and in the distance spotted "black smoke from the fire and people running out of their office buildings to the scene."
Chiropractor Daniel C. Cox, whose office is on the 8300 block of Main, said he was with a patient when he heard a loud noise from the crash and rushed out to provide first aid.
"There was no movement. It was a horrible sight, just a horrible tragedy, and I've seen a number of terrible crashes, because I'm trained as an accident reconstructionist," Cox said.
Diane Cox, who works in her son's office, said she looked out a window after hearing a loud "boom" and screamed.
"Firefighters kept spraying the fire, but it kept coming back," she said.
"Patrick was a very well-liked young man. He was kind and respectful. He was on track to graduate in a few short weeks and was really proud of his plans. He was on track to join the Marine Corps," Smith said as the school community was trying to come to grips with the sudden loss.
"The biggest thing he was proud of was his enlistment in the Marine Corps. He was doing training with a local group of young people in preparation for boot camp," Smith said. "Our school is deeply saddened, the teachers, the students, the support staff, and our thoughts and prayers are with Patrick's family and friends."
Emergency counseling from psychologists and guidance counselors was being made available to students and staff, the principal said, urging parents to talk with their children if they see signs of emotional distress over Patrick's death.
Conway is the second Clarence High School student to die in an accident this spring.
On May 5, Alexander Hemline, 17, was killed in one-vehicle crash when his Jeep struck a tree in Clarence.
