Here are some nightlife options for this coming week:
When Irish mustaches are smiling
The Irish pub will hold its Movember fundraiser for prostate and testicular cancer awareness. The event will include a beard and mustache contest, raffle prizes and music from John Ross Boyce & His Troubles. Will lucky winners receive a private testicular exam later in the evening?
When • Saturday, Dec. 1, 8 p.m.
Where • Piper Down Pub, 1492 S. State St., Salt Lake City
Admission • Donation in lieu of cover; suggested $5 and above
Info • piperdownpub.com; 801-468-1492
Johnny-Come-Latelies miss Falcons and Saints
Watch NFL football all day long at the place known as the home of the $4 shot-and-beer combo. Just don't get upset if you come in hoping to see the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons; they played on Thursday.
When • Sunday, Dec. 2, open at 11 a.m.
Where • Johnnys on Second, 165 E. 200 South, Salt Lake City
Admission • Free
Info • johnnysonsecond.com; 801-746-3334
Repeal this
Celebrate the third annual Repeal of Prohibition Day by dressing up in your best outfit from the 1930s. You can play free craps, blackjack and roulette while Red Rock Hot Club will play swing and jazz dance tunes. Also, celebrate that Ken Burns' documentary series was only 5 1/2 hours long, rather than the intimidating 10-plus hours of his "The Civil War" series.
When • Wednesday, Dec. 5, 6 p.m.
Where • Gracie's, 326 S. West Temple, Salt Lake City
Admission • Free
Info • graciesslc.com; 801-819-7565
Repeal this, too
Bourbon House will also fete the end of Prohibition with a party that will feature blackjack, craps, poker, roulette, flapper girls and you, dressed in clothing of the era. Ratification of the 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment on Dec. 5, 1933, although the last dry state was Mississippi, which officially ended the Prohibition era in 1966. So perhaps that's another holiday for Utah drinkers to celebrate.

Admission • Free
Info • bourbonhouseslc.com; 801-746-1005

— Newton: Crucial Weekend For Britain's Olympic Hopefuls | Cyclingnews.com
There was much talk about the strength of the GreenEDGE team in the men's race but the girls didn't disappoint heading in with a very, very strong line up.
We really couldn't be enjoying a better start to the season at GreenEDGE-AIS, and christening this fledgling team beautifully. We're racing well together, and listening to one another and really backing each other up."
— Battle of Buninyong: Shara Gillow on the Australian National Road Race Champs
Although Gilmore maintains that her situation could be a lot worse, and seems unconcerned that her rivals are well ahead of her at this point in time with just three spots on the women's road team available for the London Olympic Games in July.
"I think with the GreenEdge girls that any one of them could make the Olympic team, they're all very strong," Gilmore admits. "For me mentally coming here racing against them and being very close to their form it gives me a lot of confidence because I was in hospital having surgery under general anaesthetic when they were in training camp.
"You've also got Chloe [Hosking] and Loren Rowney from outside GreenEdge so I think the Olympic selection is very open given we haven't had the first international race of the season yet. We really need to wait until February to see who's at world level.""
— Gilmore Revamps Race Program After Rough Start | Cyclingnews.com
Competing at the highest of level of anything tends to make people appreciate the little things less. But for me, just finishing the Australian National Road Race on Saturday has left me with a certain sense of accomplishment. Crossing the line dropped, cramping and a few places off last I really did feel like saluting; because after four attempts I'd finally finished.
Held every year on the same notoriously hard course the Aussie nationals are most definitely not taylor made for a sprinter. A ten kilometer circuit with a three kilometer climb ridden ten times translates to 30% of climbing. Combine this with usually soaring temperatures and it goes without saying that the nationals hold a special place in my heart…right next to my hatred for university assignment due dates."

espnW: Were you ahead the whole time?
RF: There was a group of five of us who got ahead of the pack. We worked together really well. With politics, you don't always have that. Then, with about 1km to go, three of us broke away. Right near the finish, I decided I was going to kick it and sprint around the other two.
espnW: What did it feel like to cross the finish line?
RF: When I crossed the line, I didn't really think about that the fact that I'd won. I was in shock.
I am the captain for our team [NOW and Novartis for MS], but we lost our sprinter Friday because she broke her arm. Another member of the team fell and went to the hospital — she got a big divot taken out of her knee. We went to nationals with five riders and finished with three, so it's amazing our team was able to pull it off."

This is why people like George Zimmerman, not a cop but a member of a neighborhood task force felt he could stop and frisk TreyVon Martin and end up killing him. These police need to be stopped because their actions are influencing others to do the same~ illegal profiling; no matter what they call it or try to justify it, is WRONG period!!

I already know exactly what you're thinking:
They sell a million borders at the store - why would you make your own?!?
The short answer is simple.
Because I am Maria.
The slightly more detailed answer is that I can never find borders that perfectly match my color scheme and feature polka dots so I decided to create the perfect bulletin board trimmers for myself.
All you need to complete the project are some scalloped bulletin board borders (use any that you have handy - flip them over and decorate the plain white side on the back) and those fabulous Do-A-Dot Art painters. I wanted a variety of colors, so I used two different color packs of dotters: the Rainbow set, and the Brilliant set.
Seeing the finished product, it may seem as though I was incredibly tedious and pained myself to align the polka dots with perfect spaces between each one. I assure you it was not the case. The scalloped borders have hills and valleys in the design. If you follow the curves of the border, it is very simple to create four rows of staggered polka dots. Allow me to demonstrate:
Row 1
The top row of dots is very easy- just add a polka dot to the center of each "hill" created by the scallop.
Row 2
For the second row, place a dot just below each valley" created by the scallop.
Row 3
The next row looks complicated, but I promise it is not. Remember the first row I created in all the hills? I just add a new dot below every hill.
Row 4
For the final row, add a dot below the dots you created in Row 2. This one gets a little messy because it looks best if you only make half a dot and let the dotter come off the bottom edge of the border. You will probably want a sheet of paper under your border to catch the excess.
I had some fun using experimenting with color to make fun variations of this project. Here are a few of my favorites:
Rainbow Art set, sunflower yellow and lime green are from the Brilliant pack.
Rainbow Art pack. Teal, lime green, violet (purple in color), and sunflower yellow came from the Brilliant pack.
Several people asked me if it was tedious to create the borders. Seriously, you should have seen the Oh my gosh, Maria has officially lost her mind looks I received from the other teachers that examined my borders closely and asked if I created them.
Honestly - it really wasn't that bad. I made enough polka dot borders to cover all of the bulletin boards in my classroom (and I have a LOT of bulletin board space) but I got pretty efficient and after a little practice, it only takes about a minute and a half to decorate one sheet of border. So, if you have some time to spare, I highly recommend it. My classroom boards are completely unique and colorful. When you add solid border behind your polka dots and use a contrasting color of paper to the background of your boards the finished result is quite stunning.
A great big THANK YOU goes out to my good friend Steve Thompson for taking the beautiful photos for this DIY project. He was extremely patient with all of my ambitious photo ideas and it was great to have both of my own hands free to creating a sample border for the tutorial photos.
Be sure to check back again soon to see my finished classroom (complete with polka dot borders!)

Prolab Nutrition - Amino 2000 - 325 Tablets
Prolab Nutrition Amino 2000 - For Muscle Preservation and Explosive Growth
PROLAB Amino 2000 supplies hard training athletes and bodybuilders with ample levels of growth and recovery-supporting amino acids. Specifically, this potent formula delivers a whopping 2,000 mg of pure, naturally occurring L-form amino acids per tablet. Why the massive dose? It's simple; athletes require greater intakes of protein than your run-of-the-mill "couch potato." Greater protein intake helps to ensure that plenty of amino acids are supplied to muscles - supporting a positive nitrogen balance. A positive nitrogen balance indicates how much protein, in the form of amino acids, has been retained in muscle tissue.
Simply put, a positive nitrogen balance equates to muscle preservation and new growth potential. To further support lean mass development, each dose of Amino 2000 delivers 8 grams of high quality whey protein concentrate. Our whey processing produces a protein that is highly bioavailable (fast absorbed) with a superior protein efficiency rating (P.E.R.). The high P.E.R. ensures that maximum levels of muscle-building amino acids are available for uptake into tissues. PROLAB Amino 2000 is the ultimate amino acid supplement for serious athletes.
What are the key benefits?
Why would someone use this product?
Prolab Amino 2000 is muscle food. Faster absorbed than whole proteins, Amino 2000 is ideal before, during and immediately after training to help slow catabolism (muscle tissue breakdown) and promote anabolism (muscle growth). Amino 2000 helps maintain a positive nitrogen balance, which is necessary for muscle growth.
How does it work?
During a workout, breakdown of protein will occur. This creates a negative nitrogen state - catabolism. Catabolism will continue until protein homeostasis is established. The recovery process begins when a positive nitrogen balance has been met. Prolab Amino 2000 helps maintain a positive nitrogen balance, which is necessary for protein synthesis, muscle growth and repair.
What is the suggested dosage?
Take 6 tablets three times daily between meals and after intense training. Best when taken 45 minutes prior to a meal and immediately following a workout. For best absorption, take with diluted fruit juice or other diluted carbohydrate liquid.

Which Casino Should You Bet On?
Anh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Casinos are an interesting business. It makes money on the basic psychology of human beings: the desire to get rich quick. The business is really a cash cow, generating a huge sustainable cash flow over time. It doesn't need any inventory or account receivables. However, in order to operate in the casino business, companies are required to build hotels/resorts, which incur huge capital expenditures. Investors, if interested, should find a company that has substantial insider ownership, is reasonably leveraged, and is selling in the market at an undervalued price.
Let's take a quick look at four casinos including Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN), Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS), MGM Resorts, (NYSE: MGM) and Melco Crown Entertainment (NASDAQ: MPEL).
LVS is the biggest company with a $36.4 billion market capitalization, and the smallest is MGM with $5.2 billion. Among the four, WYNN is the most leveraged company with D/E of more than 15x; however, the interest coverage of 4.5x means that WYNN can comfortable pay interest expense with its operating income. LVS has the most conservative and strong balance sheet with a 1.1x D/E ratio, and the highest interest coverage of 8.4x.
Among the four, LVS and WYNN derived most of its revenue from casino operations in Macau. For LVS, out of $9.4 billion revenue in fiscal year 2011, $7.4 billion was from casino operations; accounting for 75.4% of total revenue, and out of that $7.4 billion, $4.26 billion was from Macau, accounting for 57.6% of total casino revenue. And for WYNN, the total fiscal 2011 revenue was $5.27 billion, with the casino revenue of $4.19 billion, accounting for 79.5% of total revenue. A big chunk of casino revenue was from Macau operation also, of $3.57 billion, accounting for 67.7% of total revenue. LVS also has a big operation in Singapore with the Marina Bay Sands, and this operation brought to the company revenue of $2.36 billion, accounting for 31.8% of casino revenue in fiscal 2011.
For MGM, the company's main operation is in the US, with 75% revenue from the domestic resorts. The rest was from MGM China's operation. Its revenue segments seemed to spread out more evenly among the revenue of casino, rooms, food & beverage and entertainment. Out of nearly $5.9 billion domestic revenue, MGM had nearly $2.5 billion coming from casino operations, accounting for only 42.4% of total domestic sales. The company, which had the most percentage casino revenue out of total sales, was Melco Crown, with $3.68 billion out of $3.83 billion total, accounting for as high as 96%. And Melco's main operation is solely in Macau, including City of Dreams, Altira Macau, Mocha Clubs and Taipa Square Casino.
The US gaming industry has slowed down, giving its golden time to Macau. In order to "surf" the casino growth in Macau, investors should consider LVS, MGM or especially Melco, not MGM as the majority of MGM's revenue was from domestic resorts. MGM is expanding in China, Macau but I think it would take quite some time. LVS seems to be the best for investors when we take into considerations of both operating performance and leverage level. However, it is also the most expensive with 25.6x P/E. WYNN was significantly leveraged and still expensive at 22x P/E. That leaves us Melco, conservatively leveraged, good operating margin, comfortable interest coverage, and reasonably priced at 17.9x P/E. With the main operations in Macau, I personally think Melco is a stock for investors to surf the growth in the Macau casino industry.
Know What You Own
For many companies, successfully capitalizing on a booming Chinese economy is like winning the jackpot. That's literally the case for gaming company Las Vegas Sands, which made a big bet on Macau gaming about a decade ago that's paid off in spades. The company is now looking to spread its empire further, but will it be able to replicate its prior successes?

Where the senior discounts are
There are plenty, and now a website has compiled a list of 136 deals. 'Senior' sometimes means 50 and up.
Those (of us) on the other side of 55 may think our best days are behind us. But we've got something other people can't get -- senior discounts.
For our convenience, Gift Card Granny has assembled 136 senior deals all in one place, covering everything from restaurant meals and groceries to travel and clothing deals. A separate "other" category includes movie tickets, hardware and miscellaneous stuff.
Some discounts are good for people 60 and older, but many can be claimed by those at the tender age of 55, and some at even 50. "Since 50 is the new 40, that means you'll have plenty of years to rake in the savings!" Granny exclaims. (Just another reason to keep on living, I like to say.)
Here's a wrap-up of what you'll find, plus some of the best deals from each category. (Note: Some of these discounts are good only at participating locations, so it's best to call first. But it's still a good idea to bookmark the page.)
Senior restaurant deals. Many on the list of 56 restaurant and fast-food chains offer 10% off your order, and many make their discounts available to the 55-and-older group. That alone suggests it doesn't hurt to ask about a senior discount wherever you go. Among the best bets:
- Chick-fil-A: Free small drink and 10% discount for those 55 and older.
- Jack in the Box: Up to 20% off many orders for those 55 and above.
- Krispy Kreme: People 50 and older can get 10% off.
- Luby's: This cafeteria-style Texas institution offers 20% off or "senior pricing" for those 50 and older.
Among the stingiest on the list is Taco Bell, with only 5% off for those 65 and above. Post continues after video.
Senior travel discounts. Many hotel chains and car rentals are represented here. (A few require an AARP membership card -- your ticket to a whole lot of other discounts.) So are the airlines, although it's often not very clear how you qualify for their deals. You might want to call the airlines first to ask before you book a flight online.
- Amtrak: A 15% discount for those 62 and older for select destinations.
- Hyatt: "Those 62+ are eligible for various discounts, including half-priced rooms."
Senior clothing discounts. These run the gamut from Bon-Ton to Goodwill, and usually involve a discount on a certain day of the week or month.
- Banana Republic: "10% discount for those 50+, although not all locations participate." (Being older doesn't mean you have to look frumpy.)
Senior grocery discounts. Discounts for older folks at the grocery store? Who knew? They're generally at least 5% off, available one day a week. There are 15 chains on the list, so you'll likely find one that's in your neck of the woods. But, again, call ahead first to make sure your local store offers the deal.
- Albertsons: 10% off on the first Wednesday of the month for those 55 and older.
Other senior discounts. These cover lots of possible purchases, including movie tickets, haircuts, prescription drugs, theme park admissions and cell phone plans.
- Ace Hardware: A 10% discount for those 55 and older.
The best deal by far: People 62 and older can purchase a $10 lifetime pass to all the national parks that charge a fee. That pass also provides a 50% discount on extra services such as camping. It's perfect for those who live near a national park or live the RV life.
All told, this is great, because we older folks have a lot to worry about -- like whether we can retire or not. Do you plan to take advantage of more of these deals? And do you have any others to add to the Gift Card Granny list?

The one-hour golf lesson, which includes all course or practice-facility fees, requires golfers to bring their own clubs to have their golf needs assessed and addressed by a PGA-certified instructor. The private schooling may include tips on proper alignment, grip, posture, ball position, swing mechanics, and more. Cloud 9 has partnered with golfing professionals and tee-off locales all over the country, including six participating teachers and courses in the Miami area: Daniel Larkin at the Atlantis Country Club in Atlantis; Doug Feldman at The Club at Pelican Bay in Daytona Beach; Marty Maisa at Inverrary Country Club in Lauderhill; Lucas Cohen at Grand Palms Resort & Country Club in Pembroke Pines, multiple instructors at Palm-Aire Golf Academy in Pompano Beach, and Mark Arnold at Longboat Key Club & Resort in Longboat Key.
The certified dance instructors at Arthur Murray Dance Studio teach beginner-level ballroom, Latin, swing, and social-partnership dance classes in group settings, and also offer private lessons to singles, couples, and singles perched on the shoulders of couples. Instructors emphasize technique, style, and variation of dance patterns during 45-minute group lessons. Group classes also give the opportunity to dance with a variety of partners, develop good dancing habits, and meet other students in the studio. The size of group lessons varies from as few as four students to as many as 20, enabling rhythmic upgrades for both small families and aspiring battalions. Classes take place Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. and 7:45 p.m.
Crave Fitness's founder, Yaniv Rosenberg, applies a lifelong enthusiasm for fitness and martial arts to boot camp, Krav maga, kickboxing, and jiujitsu classes for all ages and ability levels. During boot-camp classes based on training regimens from the U.S. military and Israeli Defense Force, experienced instructors wring every ounce of effort from students of all skill levels, fueling the all-out workouts with words of encouragement and regular trips through a rift in the time-space continuum to get glimpses of their svelte future selves. Sessions change on a daily basis to test muscles with a combination of cardiovascular exercises, abdominal work, agility drills, obstacle-course challenges, and blindfolded Sudoku puzzles.
Instructor Antonio Silva started swimming competitively in high school and has been teaching the technique ever since. First as an assistant coach and now as the owner of Delphi Swim, he teaches swimmers how to float, paddle, and butterfly stroke their way through the water. Classes cater to kids of all ages, with survival skills for small children and freestyle, breast stroke, and underwater swimming for kids who have mastered basic aquatic movements. He can also coach kids who want to swim competitively or chase the Loch Ness monster on family vacation.
Loyalty to digital cameras' factory settings can hinder photographers shooting in unusual venues. Photographer Paulo Jordao teaches his students to manually adjust their settings to suit their surroundings during hands-on workshops, whose curricula also emphasize lighting, composition, and post-shoot editing. Open to all skill levels, the workshops can expand semi-professionals' skill sets or aid parents trying to document their tots' childhoods without adding extensive footnotes to their height chart.
When he's not teaching workshops, Jordao, along with his wife, Peggy, who is also a photographer, can be found snapping photos of newly engaged couples, capturing sultry boudoir shoots, and shooting videos for special events.
Lazy Meadows Farm's internationally trained and USDF-certified owner, Michele Herrmann, focuses exclusively on studying and sharing dressage-style riding with students of all experience levels. Novice riders learn to trot from within two riding arenas, while more advanced riders gallop and prance past wavering palms and rustling pines. The docile equine animals inhabit 14 dressage stalls that share a verdant 5.5-acre landscape with a terra-cotta-roofed barn and a stock of big cats for very advanced riders.

My Everest 550-Watt PSU was smoked after 2 years of service (running a GTX 280 in a tricked out and somewhat power hungry rig). I tried to RMA it, but the tech support paanwalaas told me that it was all fine, and they couldn't hear the clicking noise which I had claimed to have heard constantly.
Judgment day came, and after a few rounds of random restarts - kaboooom. Toxic smoke, some foul smelling fluids inside my rig and yes, fire. Cleaned up the mess, decided to go for a higher rated supply.
Great product all in all, but Corsair didn't make it modular. Really Corsair? You need more cas... (Expand)
I have used this product on a customer PC and found that it very well supported 2 HDDs & 1 DVD/RW & 2 ATI Radeon 2 GB Graphic Cards (cross fire) and 4 Cabinet Fans. Its better than GS800 if budget is not at all a problem. Now I Ordered it through Flipkart because of the best price.
-Sharad Panwar (Hardware/Networking & Data Recovery Specialist)
looking a nice Corsair CMPSU-850TXV2UK 850 Watts PSU psu for my amd fx 8120 bulldozer,asus sabertooth 990 fx motherboard,4 200 mm fan,16 gb corsair ram,one corsair liquid cooling fan,one 500 gb and one 250 gb hard disk drive. may be price go down.then i will buy.
It can power 6-8 HDDs, an overclocked Quad Core processor,dual graphics card & still doesn't say die. I upgraded from a 600W supply & the difference is immediately obvious. I see no voltage drops whatsoever on the 12V & 3.3V rails. This supply is simply ROCK SOLID.A word of advice though, if you want the most energy efficient power supply for your PC, get the 80plus gold rated Corsair AX850W. This power supply is 80plus bronze rated.
My old smps/psu would trip and reboot my system anytime. Initially I did not know what was causing the problem. As soon as my CPU hit 100% and I'm doing memory intensive processes such as games or compilation it would halt and restart.
But not anymore this 800W beast now powers my monster desktop which has a Corei7 CPU, DX58SO Extreme Series, Noctua NH-U12P SE2, OCZ 120Gb SSD, NVidia GT240, Segate 7200RPM 1TB and tons of other h/w devices.

No injuries in Townshend crash SaturdayMay 27,2013No injuries in crash on Saturday
TOWNSHEND — No injuries were reported after a two-car crash on Saturday afternoon on Route 30.
In a press release, Vermont State Police Trooper James Matthews said Sher Ward, 64, of Townshend, was driving a 2003 Volkswagen north on Route 30 around 2:30 p.m. on Saturday and planned to make a left turn. Lydia Mourad, 60, of West Roxbury, Mass., was also driving north in a 2003 Subaru Forester.
Matthews said Mourad failed to slow down and the Forester sideswiped the Volkswagen as it was turning.
Both vehicles came to rest under their own power off the travel portion of the road. No injuries were reported.
Matthews said Townshend Fire and Rescue responded to the scene and Rod's Mobil removed the vehicles.MORE IN This Just InFree lecture about Full StoryMIDDLEBURY — Operators of a holistic health center are planning a grand opening from 4 p.m. Full StoryCastleton State College present a production of the drama "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad...

Hormone Therapy for Prostate Cancer (Androgen Deprivation Therapy, or ADT)
Topic Overview
Hormone therapy for prostate cancer is also known as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Prostate cancer cannot grow or survive without androgens, which include testosterone and other male hormones. Hormone therapy decreases the amount of androgens in a man's body. Reducing androgens can slow the growth of the cancer and even shrink the tumor.
Hormone therapy may be used along with radiation treatment when there is a high risk of the cancer returning. Or hormone therapy may be used after surgery or radiation if any cancer remains.
Hormone therapy may also help men who have cancer that has spread and who cannot have surgery or radiation. It may be used when prostate cancer has spread outside the prostate (metastatic disease). In these cases, hormone therapy reduces pain and helps men live a little longer.1
Hormone therapy may be used to suppress prostate cancer cells, which is reflected in lower levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA).
Hormone therapy may also be used as the main treatment for prostate cancer instead of surgery or radiation. But hormone therapy doesn't seem to help men ages 66 and older who have localized prostate cancer. These men live just as long with active surveillance.2
Taking medicines is one way to reduce androgens. Another way, used much less often, is surgery to remove the testicles, also known as an orchiectomy.
Sometimes androgen deprivation (orchiectomy or an LH-RH agonist) and an antiandrogen are used together for treatment. This is called a combined androgen blockade (CAB). There is also a triple androgen blockade (TAB) where another medicine is added. But research doesn't yet show that TAB works better than other treatments.4
Other hormone therapies may include the use of medicines such as megestrol acetate, estrogen, ketoconazole, aminoglutethimide combined with hydrocortisone, and corticosteroids (prednisone, dexamethasone, and hydrocortisone).
Timing of hormone therapy
Some men choose to start hormone therapy only after they have symptoms. But many doctors recommend starting hormone therapy if cancer is found in the lymph nodes during surgery to remove the prostate. Early treatment may allow men to live a little longer. Other doctors say to wait, because waiting will delay the bothersome side effects of hormone therapy.
Alternatives to conventional hormone therapy
Side effects of hormone therapy
The side effects of hormone therapy increase with the length of time that a man uses this therapy. Some of the side effects from hormone therapy will go away when a man who is taking medicine finishes his hormone therapy. For a man who has an orchiectomy, the side effects of sterility and loss of sexual interest are immediate and permanent.
Side effects of hormone therapy may include:
Other side effects may include hot flashes, erection problems and reduced sex drive, breast enlargement, and cognitive impairment. Some men may experience depression.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems).
Long-term side effects of hormone therapy
The long-term side effects of hormone therapy, even for men taking medicine, are not known. But hormone therapy has been linked to a higher risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease.1
One large study found that hormone therapy appears to be linked to a higher risk of death from heart problems in men who had surgery for localized prostate cancer.3
Hormone therapy and quality of life
The side effects of hormone therapy for prostate cancer often affect a man's quality of life. But there are treatments that can help with some of the side effects listed above. For example, exercise can help counteract the loss of muscle mass and will help with fatigue. There are medicines that can help with hot flashes, nausea, diarrhea, and bone loss. Treatments are available for erection problems and a reduced sex drive. Radiation before hormone therapy may help prevent breast enlargement. For men with depression, counseling and medicine may help. For more information, see the topic Depression.
Above all, talk with your doctor about any of the symptoms you have while you are taking hormone therapy. Your doctor may know about a local support group for men who have prostate cancer.

PALMHURST—The Palmhurst Police Department will present the city's First National Night Out on Oct. 2 from 6 - 9 p.m. An event, in the past, that has been shared with the city of Mission, will be held at the North Mission Church of Christ at 1410 E. Mile 3 Road.
Chief of Police Michael A. Vela said to kick off the night out, a convoy will commence on 3 Mile Road beginning on Shary Road and ending on Stewart Road.
The small procession is set to begin at 5:45 p.m. and will include law enforcement and fire departments from neighboring cities, which include: Alamo, Alton, Peñitas, Pharr, McAllen and Mission.
In the last seven years, Palmhurst and Mission have combined their efforts to bring 1000 bags of school supplies to children during National Night Out. Vela says Palmhurst will have multiple school supplies for attending children, as well as rides, games, arts and crafts, food and music.
"There will be a performance from the Midkiff Elementary School Choir and a talent show for the kids," Vela said. "The band and cheerleaders from Cantu Junior High will also be here."
The National Night out will have vendors from Mission CISD, Sharyland ISD, Walgreens, Walmart and other local businesses. Vela added many of these vendors will have fundraising opportunities to give attendees a chance to give back to local school districts.
In addition to the fun and games for attendees to enjoy, this event will also promote safety and awareness to Palmhurst's community.
The Mission Fire Department will bring a mobile smoke house for children to learn the proper guidelines when exiting a building in flames. Each law enforcement group is set to bring safety materials and information to promote local anti-crime efforts.
"Hopefully it's a good turnout, it's our first annual so we are pretty excited," Vela said. "The kids are going to have a blast."

Dr. Sona Patel told me that's just who she is. Her Melrose Avenue office, she said, is designed in much the same way as her home in Hollywood.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
But in California, you're entitled to a second opinion, and I had some more questions. I was wondering how and why a doctor goes from conventional to herbal medicine, and I called Patel, intrigued by her glamorous ads in local publications. The whole California marijuana adventure seems like an herb-fired hallucination, but what must her story be?
Before I visited Patel, I called state regulatory officials to discuss my Glendale experience. Much has been written about the explosion of dispensaries, particularly since Los Angeles has made such a mess of things, allowing several hundreds of storefront pot outlets to open without permits. But far less has been written about the doctors.
Is there any oversight for those who appear to be running patients through mills at $100 or more a pop, faster than you can open your mouth and say, "Ahhhh?"
Not a great deal.
A spokeswoman for the Medical Board of California told me that only 81 complaints have been made against marijuana doctors since 1996, and investigations have led to disciplinary action against just 10 doctors. The medical board is expected to consider early next year whether to be a little more proactive, and re-establish guidelines for conducting exams and issuing "recommendations."
Frank Lucido, an Oakland physician, has been speaking out for doctors who fear they're all being tainted by unprofessional colleagues who are rubber-stamping marijuana recommendations.
"I schedule 45 minutes for a first-time patient and 30 for a repeat patient," said Lucido, who suggests that California has become the "Wild West," with thousands of dispensaries, hundreds of doctors and varying laws from one city to the next.
Lucido said he's trying to hold the middle ground between drug war partisans who oppose marijuana altogether, and those who are ready to party on the other side, faking medical need so they can light up recreationally.
Where does Dr. Patel stand?
Her office, which doesn't look like much from the outside, sits across the street from Melrose Organic Pharmacy, where I purchased some Skywalker buds as part of my research last month. Good for back pain, said the clerk.
At Patel's office, Shannon, the office manager, was also in high heels. All right, what is this, a modeling agency or a doctor's office?
The high fashion is just a style preference, said Dr. Patel, 34, who uses her own image in advertising materials, often in different hairstyles.
But is the glamour about creating a marketing niche -- she'll fix what ails you, and she looks like a beauty queen, to boot! -- in a crowded field?
No, Patel said. But as a matter of fact, she worked as a model to help pay medical school bills, and the glam shots she uses were actually meant to market a cosmetics line that never got off the ground.
So how did she get into herbal medicine?
Patel said she grew up in Chino Hills and went to medical school in the Caribbean, having wanted to be a doctor from the time she was 5.

Very few works in the canon of western political literature can compare with the brilliant intensity of Machiavelli's little work that we know as The Prince; and none can compare with its infamy. Moreover, Machiavelli's name has been used an adjective (Machiavellian) to describe the machinations of deceitful politicians at least since the time of Shakespeare.

These internationally recognized scholars will reflect on The Prince's inception, its influence and its reception exactly 500 years after Machiavelli first mentioned his treatise in private correspondence.

Breastfeeding Tools You Won't Want to Be Without
Slings for the Hard to Hold
Slings provide a comfortable, natural way to carry baby while also making nursing discreet. There are many ways to carry babies in slings, and you can change the way you hold children as they get older so that it continues to be comfortable for both parent and child.
Slings come in a variety of styles—some are adjustable, while others like "tube" slings are not, and still others are tie-on. Popular brands include Maya Wrap, ERGObaby®, Nojo, and TaylorMade.
Although many women enjoy carrying their children with a sling and believe it provides a good opportunity for bonding, some women and children may find it hard to get comfortable or nurse well using a sling. For those who are struggling or unsure if a sling is right for them, borrowing from friends or trying out different types of slings from organizations like La Leche League (LLL) may be good places to start. And when in doubt, save that receipt in case after several tries, you need to make a return.

Would keeping your child's gender a secret from all outsiders help your child grow to be whomever they want to be?
That is the theory that Canadian parents Kathy Witterick and David Stocker are working under with their 4-month old child, Storm. They aren't revealing Storm's sex to anyone other than their other two children, a close friend and the two midwives that helped deliver the baby.
"If you really want to get to know someone, you don't ask what's between their legs," says Stocker.
"When Storm was born, the couple sent an email to friends and family: "We've decided not to share Storm's sex for now — a tribute to freedom and choice in place of limitation, a stand up to what the world could become in Storm's lifetime (a more progressive place? …)."…
"Witterick and Stocker believe they are giving their children the freedom to choose who they want to be, unconstrained by social norms about males and females. Some say their choice is alienating."
Storm's siblings are both boys but are allowed to wear whatever they choose and grow their hair however they want.
"Jazz — soft-spoken, with a slight frame and curious brown eyes — keeps his hair long, preferring to wear it in three braids, two in the front and one in the back, even though both his parents have close-cropped hair. His favourite colour is pink, although his parents don't own a piece of pink clothing between them. He loves to paint his fingernails and wears a sparkly pink stud in one ear, despite the fact his parents wear no nail polish or jewelry."
The article says that as a result of how the boys dress most people assume they are girls and the parents don't correct them. They say it's up to boys to reveal to what they choose.
For example, Jazz asked him mother to write a note on his application to a nature program that he is boy because he likes the leaders and wants them to know.
OK there is so much going on in this article. Please, please click on the link and read the entire thing. There is lots more about the parents unschooling, criticisms that they hear and what psychologists think of the approach.
Then come back and tell us what you think:
Does not revealing the child's gender make it more of an issue or less of an issue?
Does not revealing the gender put the focus on the child's gender instead of all the amazing things the child can do? (Or will be able to do as they grow older.)
They are pretty much gender neutral with the other two children so is that a better approach than not telling?
Would it somehow confuse or hurt a child not to know which camp they belonged to?

(banging head against the keyboard) Why, oh why do idiot parents use their children as social engineering experiments?!?! Between growing up "unschooled" and sexually ambiguous, these are kids that have years of therapy ahead of them unless they totally shun the world. And where's the fun in that?
May 24th, 2011

You all know me well enough by now, so here goes.
There was a boy growing up in my town in SC in the late 70's whose mother was helll bent on having a daughter. She insisted on birthday gifts being dolls, taught him to use the bathroom sitting down, etc. The boy snapped as a teenager and ultimately became mentally ill and committed suicide over his confusion.
Sexuality is a powerful road wrought with danger and confusion. It traps even the most stable of people (see affairs). Messing with someone's head only makes it worse.

7:27 am
After getting over my initial facepalm stage on reading this article, I started thinking about gender roles.
I have two sons, and while I think I have been raising them not to think of girl things are boy things exclusively, I probably have.
My sister has twins, three years old, one boy one girl. That has been a very interesting experiment to observe. She has bought and received toys that are "typical" of both genders and they are all communal toys. She has assigned NO specific ownership over any specific toys. Regardless, THEY DID. The girl considers the dolls, toy strollers, and toy jewelery hers. The boy considers the toy cars and trucks and trains his. And they had no ones input on this.
I think it is just slightly possible that however ridiculous these people are, they probably aren't harming their children (with this thing anyways). I think children define their own gender on their own without anyone's input.

My guess is that the child is not in day care nor the church nursery as someone would let the cat out of the bag. If anyone else keeps the child, at any point, they would know and have to stay inside the loop of confidence. This, to me, limits the socialization of the child.
May 24th, 2011

I think they are causing more problems doing things this way. I'm all for letting your kids be themselves regardless of gender, but this is a bit over the top.
May 24th, 2011
8:27 am
I appreciate the ideas here, but I think it is very damaging to enforce these kinds of beliefs on a child. I know little boys who play with dolls that are just fine, and I don't think they should be ridiculed because they prefer dolls over trucks. I also know little girls who like trucks. This is going beyond extreme, and I hope these kids are able to cope in the world as they grow up.
May 24th, 2011

OSD – lol!
how do you spell Canada? C-eh-N-eh-duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
those icebacks sure are crazy, take off, eh?
omg MJG, they're not being socialized "properly" since the newborn isn't in daycare, nor the church nursery, nor some other babysitter??? heavens to betsy, what is this world coming to?
as long as the kids are loved, they'll be far ahead of many kids who don't experience much of that in any form.
May 24th, 2011
8:40 am
I'm pretty sure MJG said it would limit the child's socialization, not that the child wouldn't be properly socialized…. And it does limit socialization to a point. At least the child has siblings to interact with.
May 24th, 2011
8:44 am
@downsouth…you may certainly disagree with me.
Teachers often seen children who have spent most of their lives only socializing with their own families and it is obvious. Our two went to church nursery at around 3 months and delighted in others who ooed and awed over them. They also were babysat by friends and neighbors, so that we could go out as adults alone and remember who we were before we became Mom and Dad. Guess we were wrong? We even had bedrooms for adults and bedrooms for children. They did visit us in our room but our mattresses were not on the floor and pushed together, per the article above. They slept in their own rooms. Guess that was wrong too ?
One problem with being a parent is, you generally do what you think is best and the kids grow up.
Some parents take advise from others ( my sidewalk theory) and some blaze their own trail and throw advice to the wind.
If you messed up…things show up…sometimes sooner than later. Again, teachers see this in school. I spoke with a Principal yesterday who expelled a 2nd grade girl on the last week of school….WHAT?
My parents told us that they did things because they loved us and also that they knew exactly what to do and no one else really did ( in their opinion) . UH…not so much.

Here we go again. Somebody does something that's extremely different, something that many of us don't agree with, and because of that they're stupid. To some of you, because of this, all Canadians are stupid.

They are somewhat right. His/her sex will have very little input into the person he/she becomes. Storm will be a f'ed up no matter the gender.

May 24th, 2011

@Jeff – That's HORRIBLE. What a shame.
This is just too weird. Perhaps the parents ate too many mushshrooms back in the day. I hope these kids have other role models in their lives that will provide active guidance instead of letting them 'figure out' everything on their own.
May 24th, 2011
10:03 am
Logic 88, they are Canadian. Their political parties don't work like that.
I love being American, but it makes you sound ignorant when you make assumptions that all things are Amercian.
May 24th, 2011
10:13 am
The more I think about this the angrier it is making me. They are purposely setting these children up to be ridiculed. Parents are supposed to guide children. They claim that the children have been picking out their own clothes since 18 months, but at that age they can only pick out what you put before them. They don't wander from rack to rack looking at clothes. So these "parents" put the pink and purple clothes in front of these little boys and probably said "isn't this pretty?" "would you like to wear the pretty pink/purple?" You know this is what they did and set the pattern early on so that their sons would automatically flock to the pink/purple when they got older. The fact that they have been reading 10,000 Dresses to their extremely young sons is a major clue that this is being done on purpose. If these boys were older and made these decisions on their own that would be one thing. These boys have no idea if they want to be traditional boys or what that even means because they are being groomed to be girls.

Morons! My two year old boy loves Disney Princesses and Barbies, but he's quite aware that he's a boy! How about letting your kids decide as they grow but not turning them into freaks because of YOUR selfish ideas of socialization (and a deep desire for publicity, noteriety and a book or tv deal).

Sylvania: My kids are 20 and 22. No piercings, tattoos, attention-grabbing hair color or years of therapy as they try to figure out their sexual identity. They have their circles of friends who are awesome, and range from struggling musicians to medical/law school students. They each have healthy relationships with people they care about. One graduated from one of the top universities in the country a couple of weeks ago, finishing in four years with a double major. The other is on track to finish in four years. They've never been arrested, DUI'd, smoked or fooled with drugs.
So, when I opine that the aforementioned parents are screwing up their kids with their flakey ideas of social engineering — I am pretty confident that I have some successful parenting experience to back up my opinion. There are many, many ways to raise a child to have freedom of expression without screwing around with a very basic building block of identity.

Plus, I have to say it: Parents who are narcissistic enough to think that they, alone, all by themselves, can undo millions of years of biological gender identification with a pink boa and purple clothes, ARE idiots. Just think of all those patriarchal societies where men gnashed their teeth over not having a male heir. Gee! If only THEY had been smart enough to simply take one of their daughters and raise her as a male! Problem solved!
Just wait until these kids' hormones kick in . . .

You don't have to ignore your gender to grow up to be what you want. If you are female, you will be whatever you want to be, but your body is female. If you are male, you will grow up to be whatever you want to be, but your body is male.
If you grow up with stupid parents, however, you have a good chance of being stupid!

MJG–maybe it is hockie! After all, we don't want to mess it up with our preconceived notions of how it should be spelled! Just let it choose how it should be spelled! LOL

Theresa, there are some inaccuracies in your post and questions. The parents are not revealing the child's sex — to say they are not revealing gender is incorrect. Sex is biological. Gender is about social constructs (dressing girls in pink, boys in blue, giving dolls to girls, trucks to boys, curling girls's hair, cutting boys', etc). Basically, they are choosing not to assign gender to their children based on sex, and are trying to prevent others from doing so to the youngest by not revealing the child's sex. I think these people are really out there, but they are not ignoring or hiding gender, from what I can tell. They are leaving it up to the kids to determine and are going to extreme lengths to keep others from placing gender expectations on their kids.

I don't know….it sounds to me like these two "adults" don't really want to parent their kids, or guide them through life. I don't know how anyone could let an 18 month old pick out their own clothes.
I wonder what meal times are like in that house? Cookies for breakfast lunch and dinner?

When they named their first kid after a Transformer, that should have been the first warning sign that these two clowns were a couple of fries short of a Happy Meal.
These poor kids.

Because I knew that 2.5 hours later you'd be trolling for a way to make yourself feel better about you.

Jackrabbits Looking to Fill a Pair of Coaching Vacancies
South Dakota State has a pair of items on its coaching 'to do' list this summer.
The Jackrabbits are without head coaches for the golf and softball programs.
The golf position opened when Jared Baszler resigned at the end of last season. SDSU athletic director Justin Sell told Brookings Radio that several factors need to be considered while searching for Baszler's replacement:
Sell says he's reviewed a number of resumes and talked with several coaches over the phone about the job.
The Jackrabbits softball program has not had a full-time head coach since Kim Aggabao resigned last fall to return to California. Interim head coach Alex Hupp ran the team last season.
Sell says the new softball coach needs some very specific experience:
No word as to the timetable for each hiring.
