Project Name
Lowry Northwest Neighborhood
Project Location
Denver, Colo.
Purpose of Project
On September 30, 1994, Denver's largest military base was closed after serving 57 years as a training facility for the Air
Force. That same day, a quasi-governmental agency was formed to implement the reuse plan that had been established. The
plan, encompassing 1,866 acres, proposed a diverse mixed-use community where people can live, work, learn and play. It is
complete with a town center, schools, churches, library, a wide variety of housing types, and recreational amenities.
The project site (hereinafter "project") is located in the northwest quadrant of the redevelopment plan and was established as
residential district in the master plan. The goals for the project included echoing the character of nearby, older Denver
neighborhoods, providing a pedestrian-friendly environment, offering a variety of parks for people with varying interests,
extending a wide range of housing types, and creating a sense of neighborhood identity.
An area of 220 acres, the project contains single-family homes, townhomes, patio homes, senior housing, apartments,
affordable housing, and transitional housing created by adaptive reuse plans (both the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless
and the Empowerment Program, a women's shelter were implemented in this manner). There are six parks being developed
within the district – two pocket parks containing play equipment for a range of ages of children, a neighborhood park in the
center of the district, a sustainable native flower garden, an active open field park, and a Reading Garden. Additionally, a
recreation center is located within the district to serve the entire community.
Role of Landscape Architect
The role of the submitter included revising the original master plan and providing design for implementation strategies to
better achieve urban and social goals. Key revisions included reorienting and scaling down the north-south parkways through
the project to promote pedestrian traffic to the town center and existing neighborhoods, establishing block sizes more
compatible with the existing neighboring conditions, and the promotion of a greater mix of residential unit types. As the plan
is being implemented, the submitter has been leading the site-specific design for the streetscape elements and public spaces.
Special Factors and Significance
The submitter did not create the original master plan for the base redevelopment, but was asked by the redevelopment
authority to revise the plan. In doing so, the submitter made changes that strengthened the plan. The revisions to the plan
provided more opportunity for housing diversity, pedestrian linkages, and variation in park design. Since the revisions to the
master plan, the submitter has worked closely with the redevelopment authority to enhance the project by designing the
streets and public spaces.
Creating strong linkages between the project and the existing neighborhoods was one of the primary design concepts. The
idea was to promote interaction between the existing neighborhoods and the redevelopment project by providing multiple
connections. The revision of the street and block orientations along 11th Avenue from the original master plan created more
connections into the project from the existing neighborhood. In turn, this helps to support transit-oriented behavior since it
opens up more opportunities for pedestrian movements to 11th Avenue, one of two main transit corridors serving the project.
Promoting pedestrian activity was another key concept that the revision to the master plan enhanced. By reorienting the
hierarchy of the street system in a predominantly north-south direction, the connection from the project to the town center
was established thus fostering pedestrian movements. The reorientation of the street network now encourages pedestrian
access to schools, the town center, additional recreation facilities, and the business center.
The project is home to a diverse range of housing types and price points. Within the project area, several of the existing Air
Force buildings have been readapted into mixed-income housing, including that for the formerly homeless. The Colorado
Coalition for the Homeless has readapted 92 units and the Empowerment Project, a women's shelter, has readapted another
17 units. There are a total of 528 single-family, 222 townhouse, 52 patio-homes, and 261 apartment units in the project area.
The submitter has held the lead role in defining the streetscape within the project area. Residential buildings were placed
closer to the curb to create narrower, pedestrian-friendly streets. Each residential product type has been evaluated and
recommendations made to promote sidewalk and street activity.
To reinforce the edge of the project, the submitter designed identity pieces that reflect the spirit of the community and help to
maintain a sense of place and history. Along 11th Avenue, a series of simple brick panels at key intersections were designed
to augment other entries to the redevelopment. Evergreen and street tree plantings were added to create a clear but simple
identity on the project's northern edge. At the intersection of 11th and Quebec, one of the main corners of the redevelopment,
a simple yet distinctive masonry monument was designed to provide identity and capture a historical point of reference.
Matching masonry fences are staggered at points along Quebec Street narrating to visitors the historic boundary of the former
The public spaces within the project have been designed by the submitter to provide a diverse network for the residents. The
emphasis in this design and planning work is to promote residents and visitors to be outdoors and moving as pedestrians
throughout the neighborhood. The principles for the parks are: 1. Diversity: Provide a wide variety of park types within the
community; 2. Destinations: Provide destinations within the community where people can come together; 3. Movement:
Provide pedestrian systems that link destinations; 4. Scale: Create appropriately scaled destinations; and 5. Balance: Provide
a balance of park types, i.e. intellectual as well as physical offerings.
After the streets were realigned, the sites for the two pocket parks were revised to provide more centralized locations, thus
encouraging pedestrian activity and interaction between neighbors. They were taken off of the parkway system and placed on
local streets that provide safer, quieter places for children to play. The primary function of these two parks is to use children's
playgrounds to promote adult interaction.
The shift in the street pattern also created an opportunity for an additional park of approximately .5 acres. This park has been
designed as a destination garden full of native plant materials offering a peaceful setting for passive use by the adjacent
neighbors and others.
Another change to the original master plan was the elimination of a street intersection. This provided an opportunity for a
dedicated pedestrian system and for another park of a passive nature. This park, known as the Reading Garden, was designed
to provide individual and group gathering areas for school children, parents, or anyone who wants to enjoy the outdoors and
literature simultaneously. The Reading Garden is augmented by pieces of art and provocative quotations that stimulate
visitors to think and talk.
At a point on the southern boundary of the project where the residential edge meets the influence of commercial activities, a
fire easement has been adapted as a pedestrian way and plaza for office workers. Again, the design is to prompt the
population of employees to move outdoors and to engage other residents.
The neighborhood park, at almost 8 acres, is the centerpiece of the project. It provides open lawn for play, pavilions for
congregation, and a high mound for contemplation. The design integrated site planning of the adjacent semi-custom homes,
elevating them to allow views into the park. The history of the landscape is borne in the distinctive forms sculpted into the
park. The elevated mountain form offers views of real mountains to the West while the opposite end of the park promotes
gathering and family activities.
In all, the principles of creating strong pedestrian linkages, providing a diverse range of housing types, public spaces and
parks, have been the cornerstone to this project. The relationship of community to its physical environment has been
scrutinized at every phase of the development. The underlying principle in designing open spaces parks and plazas is that this
community celebrates contemporary urban thinking by promoting walking and the use of public space.

Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center offers a variety of internship opportunities for students in the medical, administration and nursing fields. Read below or call us to learn more.
Nursing Internship: Professional Development Program
For more information on internship opportunities please call 605-322-8955.
A summer internship in the Human Resources Department at Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center not only helped Cierra Ihnen get the needed credits to graduate, it helped her land a full-time position in her chosen field.
Cierra, of Lennox, S.D., was heading into her last year at South Dakota State University, where she was working toward a major in sociology and human resources, and a minor in leadership management of non-profit organizations.
"I needed to obtain college credit for an internship, and learned of an available HR internship on the Avera McKennan website," Cierra said.
She applied for and got the internship, and ended up earning 12 hours of credit for her summer work. "I was able to gain substantial knowledge and hands-on experience I would not have been able to get in the classroom," she said.
Many internships amount to "busy work" to assist the regular staff. But Cierra said her internship in the Avera McKennan HR office was anything but that. In addition to learning from experienced job recruiters, "I actually was put into the role of an HR recruiter, so I could gain an inside understanding of the entire process. There's no better training than that."
Thanks to her successful internship, Cierra was offered a job with Avera McKennan as an HR assistant before she even graduated from college. She completed her degree online while earning a full-time salary.
"Everything I learned during my internship helped me transition very smoothly into my new position," Cierra said. Working for a large regional health network that employs 6,000 people, Cierra is confident there will be opportunities for growth and advancement. "Avera is a great organization to be a part of and it's nice that it's a faith-based organization."
Cierra said she would recommend an Avera internship to any student. Whether it's paid or unpaid, an internship results in great dividends in terms of experience and opportunities. "It's a good way to get your foot in the door. I'll be able to take what I've learned with me, no matter what happens in the future."
As a graduate student with plenty of education but little experience, Lindy Hill made "cold calls" to hospitals, trying to land an internship that might lead to a full-time job opportunity. It was a calculated risk that paid long-term dividends for his career.
Lindy, a native of Brookings, S.D., graduated from the University of South Dakota at Vermillion in 2006 with a bachelor's degree in health administration. He immediately started graduate school, working toward an MBA with an emphasis in health administration. "As I was nearing the end of my graduate work, I realized I didn't have any experience to back up my degrees," Lindy said.
So he called hospitals in the area, hoping to find any type of internship in an administrative role. His ultimate hope was that an internship might turn into a job opportunity.
A call to Avera McKennan led to a foot in the door - an offer for an unpaid internship in clinic operations, starting in August 2006. Driving from Vermillion to Sioux Falls several days a week meant sacrificing personal time, gas money and the opportunity to earn money elsewhere. Yet the experience paid off in other ways.
The internship involved analyzing data and fee schedules, as well as important networking opportunities with Avera professionals. His next assignment was as part of Avera McKennan's clinic LEAN team, helping to redesign work to be more efficient and patient-centered at clinics within the Avera McKennan network.
While many internships end after a few months, Lindy kept working. In April 2007, less than a year after his internship began, Avera McKennan posted a new position for a Process Excellence Specialist on the LEAN team. Lindy applied and was hired.Although this entry-level position didn't require a master's level education, Lindy had the right experience. He saw this job as the perfect chance to join Avera McKennan full-time and work toward future advancement.
That opportunity came soon. Lindy is now project manager for implementation of the Electronic Medical Record in Avera McKennan clinics. Lindy credits his internship for the position he's in today. "When it came time to interview for my current position, I knew everyone in the room and everyone knew me."
The internship helped Lindy establish expectations of what it's like to work in the "real world" and work hard toward advancement. "It really helped me grow and mature, and prepare myself to become a professional."
Through his internship, Lindy found Avera McKennan to be an organization he'd like to stay with long-term. "I have a lot of loyalty toward the people at Avera McKennan. They took a chance on me, and that meant a lot." He's also come to appreciate the Avera mission, sharing in the healing ministry of Jesus. "You realize how important that is and how it drives everything we do here."
Avera McKennan won honorable mention in the "Team Spirit" category in Modern Healthcare's 17th annual Spirit of Excellence awards.Read more.

Nasal spray for motion sickness
Johnson Space Center in Houston and Epiomed Therapeutics Inc. of Irvine, Calif., have signed an agreement to develop and commercialize a NASA-crafted, fast-acting nasal spray to fight motion sickness.
Under the Space Act Agreement, Epiomed will formulate the drug, called intranasal scopolamine, or INSCOP.
Astronauts often experience motion sickness in space. As a result, NASA has conducted extensive research into the causes and treatments for the condition.
Scopolamine is effective and can be administered as a tablet or injected.
With a precise dosage, the NASA spray formulation has been shown to work faster and more reliably than the oral form.
The United States Navy is working on an agreement with Epiomed to test the nasal spray. NASA and Epiomed will collaborate on clinical trials related to the Federal Drug Administration requirements.
NASA is transferring sponsorship of future clinical trials and FDA approvals to Epiomed, which will supply the product for use by NASA and others.

Men's lacrosse assists 'Walk To End Alzheimer's'
The Florida Tech men's lacrosse team and coaching staff recently volunteered their time to assist with the "Walk To End Alzheimer's" event at Wickham Park in Melbourne.
The Panthers made a huge impact in the community, while also growing closer together as a team.
Entering into the second season of the program, the young Panther squad assisted in almost every aspect of the Alzheimer's event. They arrived prior to the event to help set up tents, stands and markers along the trail. During the event, players handed out flyers, collected donations, gathered signatures for petitions and even assisted with the event photographer.
One special moment, for not only the team and the coaching staff, but for those in the community who were there to watch, was when a group of the players walked the entire trail with a lady who was in a wheel chair.
The players also formed lines on both sides of the start and finish lines to cheer on the participants. It was something the players and those taking part in the event thoroughly enjoyed.
For information about a "Walk To End Alzheimer's" and the Alzheimer's Association, visit www.alz.org/cnfl/.
SPCA car show a huge success
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of North Brevard hosted its Second Annual Hot Dogs, Cool Cats and Wild Rides Car Show, which was presented by Ron Norris Ford, on Saturday, Oct. 13.
Despite two other competing car shows (one in New Smyrna, one at the Cape), participant turnout for this worthwhile cause exceeded expectations with 98 cars registered (compared to 60 at last year's event).
There were nearly a dozen trophies awarded to show cars, in addition to drawings for an iPod, a lotto tree and a 50/50 raffle.
The success of this event is a result of the community for its overwhelming support and turn-out and also to the massive network of volunteers supporting the SPCA, including students from the Florida Institute of Technology, whose Delta Upsilon chapter of the Pi Lambda Phi fraternity attends major SPCA events to provide the "muscle power" needed to make events like this work.

Satin Pointy Pump with Rhinestone Ornament Style PATRICIA 2 2
Tight Around Stitching I purchased these very pretty shoes at a very good price during an online sale. I ordered the 6.5 (6 1/2), my usual size. The shoes arrived yesterday and are very stiff. The edge around the outside of the shoe (where they are stitched) is tight but also comes up very high on the sides of my foot. The heel part of the shoe itself also comes up very high, is very stiff, and feels like it will rub the back of my heel into terrible blisters if I wear them. I'm trying to decide if I should order the 7 or just return these shoes, or try to stretch them at home by wearing them with thick socks around the house. It seems like a waste of money if I return them because it will cost the price of the shoe combined with shipping charges just to send them back. August 13, 2014

As school year ends, 'Sardine Protest' aims to reduce overcrowding in classrooms

While Monday marked the last day of the school year for kindergarten and elementary school pupils, many parents throughout the country remained concerned regarding their children's future education.A nationwide movement – dubbed the "sardine protest" – has in recent months garnered considerable support among parents who are protesting their children's learning conditions in overcrowded classrooms.The protest launched earlier this year, following the decision by the Education Ministry not to allow the opening of additional classrooms by wealthier local authorities, who were willing to fund the extra costs in an attempt to reduce overcrowding.The ministry ordered local authorities to maintain the national standard of up to 40 children per class and directed the opening of new classes only if the number of pupils exceeded this number. The rationale behind this decision was to maintain equality between the wealthy and disadvantaged municipalities, who did not have the means to sustain additional classrooms.In addition, the ministry expressed concern for the violation of employment rights of teachers, saying classes funded by local authorities were generally staffed with teachers hired outside the ministry framework.This decision was further backed by the High Court of Justice, which upheld the ministry's decision.However, parents of the Sardine Protest are claiming this is not an elitist cause, but rather a middle class movement affecting children in schools throughout the country."This struggle is a middle generation struggle for our children. The middle class struggle is one for all our future. Any actions testify to this initiative. We are all for our children, and would very much like to believe that you are too," the organizers of the protest posted on their Facebook page on Monday.The official page called "the struggle for reducing crowding in classrooms" has gained 19,000 likes.On Friday and Sunday, as part of the protest, parents disrupted learning in elementary schools around the country for one hour and demonstrated with their children outside their schools. Among the cities where protests took place were Modi'in, Holon, Kidron, Kfar Saba, Ganei Tikva and Tel Aviv."The demonstration is intended to convey a message to the Education Ministry that parents are determined in this struggle and will not give up on the issue of the class size in schools," said Yaniv Shachar, head of the PTA in Ganei Tikva during a protest on Sunday."If the Education Ministry will not come to its senses, the national campaign headquarters are determined to continue fighting and if there is no choice we will reach the point of striking classes at the beginning of the upcoming school year," he said.Last week the issue reached the Knesset Education, Culture and Sports Committee, where Education Minister Shai Piron announced that in the upcoming school year a ministry panel would examine the issue of classroom overcrowding. He added that one of the main goals will be to increase the ratio of teachers to students in the 2015/16 academic year.However, the minister asserted he would not allow an exacerbation of social gaps within the education system to become one where those with means would receive better learning conditions."I came here so that we can become a model society, and it will not be one if there are social gaps," Piron said. "We cannot live in a country where a child faces a glass ceiling because of the area where he was born, his parents' salary slip or his parents' origins.To achieve social solidarity we must allow each child to reach his maximum potential even if he was not born to established parents."We cannot solve these problems in an instant," he said.The Education Ministry however, announced that in the coming year classes that had already been opened would be allowed to continue to operate."Everyone who will call me from every school – we will try to assist. We are not looking for blood, but an ethical obligation," Piron said.

text: content LE Magazine November 2005 A New Weapon to Fight Prostate Cancer By Dale Kiefer Scientists recently uncovered a novel component of milk thistle that may be a powerful new weapon for preventing and possibly even treating prostate cancer. This phytochemical, called isosilybin B, potently suppresses the growth and runaway proliferation of human prostate cancer cells. Isosilybin B also suppresses the activity of a genetic factor that is expressed in most human cancers. Moreover, this potent phytonutrient inhibits the secretion of a protein that may contribute to prostate cancer progression and metastasis. Importantly, isosilybin B is active against both hormone-dependent and hormone-independent prostate cancers. Isosilybin B may thus offer the most powerful protection against prostate malignancies of any phytonutrient yet discovered. The beneficial effects of silymarin and silibinin extracts from the milk thistle plant have long been known. Scientists recently identified a new milk thistle extract called isosilybin B that shows remarkable effects in fighting prostate cancer via several mechanisms. At the Research Triangle in North Carolina, scientists investigated the anti-cancer activities of milk thistle extracts and of purified milk thistle constituents against three different human prostate carcinoma cell lines: LNCaP, DU145, and PC3. These are the most commonly used laboratory models of human prostate cancer.1 A cancerous prostate gland (light brown, center right). The gland has increased in size in a disordered growth often seen in cancer. It has invaded the bladder wall (above) and the rectal wall (at right). Also seen is the urethra (tube leading out of the bladder and down to lower left). The pubic bone is at left. [click to enlarge] Examining several end points related to anti-proliferative activity against prostate cancer, the scientists found isosilybin B to be the most potent prostate cancer fighter in nearly all of the parameters studied. First, the researchers tested individual milk thistle constituents against DU145 cells, a line of hormone-independent human prostate cancer cells. The cancer cells were exposed to varying concentrations of milk thistle compounds for three days. Isosilybin B produced significant growth inhibition of nearly 69% and was the most efficacious of all milk thistle compounds tested. By contrast, the second most effective agent inhibited cancer cell growth by only 38%, while most of the phytochemicals tested showed no activity at all.1 Next, the investigators examined the effects of milk thistle components against hormone-dependent LNCaP prostate cancer cells and hormone-independent PC3 cells. Isosilybin B was the most effective growth suppressor of LNCaP cells, and was also effective against the PC3 cancer cells. The researchers noted, "isosilybin B was the most potent growth inhibitory constituent of silymarin-based milk thistle extracts and was often more effective than silibinin or silymarin extracts."1 In another experiment, the scientists examined how milk thistle constituents affect the secretion of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) by LNCaP cells. A protein synthesized in the prostate gland, PSA serves as a marker for prostate enlargement and cancer. Isosilybin B and its mirror-image isomer, isosilybin A, reduced PSA secretion, while other milk thistle constituents did not show this activity.1 The effect of isosilybins A and B on PSA is particularly noteworthy, as emerging evidence suggests PSA itself may play a role in prostate cancer's progression and metastasis.2-4 (See "Does PSA Promote Prostate Cancer?" Life Extension, June 2005.) Isosilybins may thus offer a novel way to modulate PSA levels. Continuing their investigation, the Research Triangle scientist found for the first time that milk thistle extracts suppress the activity of the DNA topoisomerase IIalpha promoter, a genetic factor that is indispensable for cellular proliferation. A recent meta-analysis found that topoisomerase IIalpha is one of the most commonly activated genes across a large majority of human cancers.1 In DU145 prostate cancer cells, isosilybin B was the milk thistle constituent that most potently and effectively suppressed this gene promoter.1 New Findings, New Priorities These recent research findings concerning isosilybin B have significant implications for individuals and scientists interested in prostate cancer prevention and treatment. Until recently, scientists had focused their research efforts on milk thistle components such as silymarin and silibinin, which in turn have become widely available in herbal supplements. However, as the Research Triangle team noted, "isosilybin B composes no more than 5% of silymarin, and is absent from silibinin."1 In other words, preparations currently sold as milk thistle extract, silymarin, or silibinin may contain little or no isosilybin B. While the scientists reported some anti-cancer activity among other milk thistle constituents, it was necessary to apply those compounds at much higher concentrations to achieve the anti-cancer effect elicited by a relatively small dose of isosilybin B.1 The bottom line? Isosilybin B appears to be more potent than other milk thistle isomers against prostate cancer. According to the Carolina scientists, "identification of isosilybin B as the most potent prostate carcinoma inhibitor indicates that any subsequent preclinical or phase I trials should include extracts enriched for this component."1 Other Milk Thistle Components The crude extraction of milk thistle fruits or seeds yields a polyphenolic flavonoid called silymarin. Silymarin is actually a mixture of phytochemicals, the most prominent of which are silibinin (also spelled as silybin), isosilybin, silychristin, and siliydianin.5 Most research has focused on the beneficial effects of silymarin and silibinin. Studies suggest that silymarin helps prevent the growth of human cancer cells in vitro6,7 and protects laboratory animals against the growth of certain tumors.6-8 Silibinin has shown potent antioxidant and anticarcinogenic effects,6 and may work synergistically with chemotherapy drugs used to treat prostate cancer.9 Many currently available milk thistle products contain primarily silymarin, and some are standardized in silibinin content, perhaps in light of the National Cancer Institute's assertion that silibinin is the most active constituent of milk thistle.10 In 2003, Harvard Medical School researchers learned that the milk thistle compound isosilybin is not one, but is actually two distinct chemicals, isosilybin A and isosilybin B. Likewise, they found that silibinin comprises two chemicals, silybin A and silybin B. These closely related but distinct isomers belong to a class of plant chemicals called flavonolignans.11 PROSTATE CANCER STATISTICS Today, prostate cancer is the most common invasive malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American men.1,6,18,19 One in six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime.The economic costs of prostate cancer are equally staggering. An estimated $5.3 billion is spent on prostate cancer treatment in the United States annually.20 Effects of Silymarin and Silibinin Isosilybin is now poised to join the ranks of the cancer-fighting milk thistle components silymarin and silibinin, two extracts whose effects already are supported by a large body of research. Indeed, numerous studies of silymarin and silibinin paved the way for further studies on milk thistle constituents. Silymarin and silibinin appear to offer protection against prostate and other cancers. Studies have shown that both silymarin and silibinin are strong antioxidants and inhibit human carcinoma cell growth and DNA synthesis.6 Both compounds may help protect against skin cancer and breast cancer.7,8,12,13 Silymarin and silibinin also show promise in preventing prostate cancer. Research conducted in 2004 indicates that one or more silymarin constituents inhibit mitogenic and survival signaling by prostate cancer cells. This signaling is crucial to cancer cells' ability to survive and thrive. "In general, advanced stage cancer cells harbor many constitutively active mitogenic signaling and anti-apoptotic mechanisms, which make them less dependent on external growth factors as well as resistant to chemotherapeutic agents," noted University of Colorado researchers. They add, however, that silymarin's ability to tackle cancer from a number of angles holds great promise: "In this regard, silibinin . . . has shown [multi-tasking] anti-cancer effects in different cancer cells."14 Another research team investigated the efficacy of silibinin against prostate cancer. Based on the "strong antioxidant and anticarcinogenic effects of silibinin, the fact that silibinin is used clinically and marketed as a dietary supplement, and [considering] the bioavailability of silibinin in prostate after its oral administration . . . we reasoned that silibinin also could be a useful agent for the intervention of human [prostate cancer]," wrote the researchers. After conducting a variety of complex cell culture assays, they determined that "silibinin has strong potential to be developed as an antiproliferative differentiating agent for the intervention of hormone-refractory human prostate cancer."6 In another 2004 report, the University of Colorado research team noted that silymarin and silibinin inhibit the secretion of pro-angiogenic factors from tumor cells, which are necessary for tumor cells to recruit the blood supply required for their continued growth. Furthermore, silymarin and silibinin inhibit the growth of cancer cells in culture, while inducing programmed cell death, or apoptosis. Silibinin may also work synergistically with the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin to help kill cancer cells, making it a strong candidate for combination therapy.9 Silibinin has even exerted cancer-fighting effects against an advanced form of prostate cancer. Adding silibinin to the diet of mice that had received a surgical graft of advanced human prostate tumor cells resulted in decreased proliferation and increased programmed cell death of the cancer cells.15 Animal and human studies alike have shown milk thistle to be non-toxic. "At high doses . . . a laxative effect is possible due to increased bile secretion and flow," noted a report published in Alternative Medicine Review. "Mild allergic reactions have also been noted but were not serious."16 However, as one researcher noted regarding milk thistle's use as a pharmaceutical in Belgium, "The drug has a general safety pattern comparable to placebo."17 Combining the wisdom of the ancients with cutting-edge medical technology, science is discovering exciting new applications for milk thistle in the fight against prostate cancer. Isosilybin B, a previously little-known constituent of milk thistle extract, appears to hold great potential for preventing this much-dreaded malady. ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF MILK THISTLE In addition to being a potentially important therapeutic tool in preventing and managing prostate cancer, milk thistle offers a host of other health benefits. Numerous scientific studies and clinical experience suggest that milk thistle may have great value in protecting the liver, treating liver disease, managing elevated cholesterol, and preventing skin cancer. • Protecting the liver. Extracts of milk thistle have been reported to protect the liver against a wide variety of toxins, including acetaminophen, ethanol, and carbon tetrachloride. Furthermore, milk thistle has been shown to guard liver cells against ischemic injury, radiation, and iron toxicity. In Europe, milk thistle extract is used to treat people poisoned by the liver-toxic Amanita mushroom.21 Several mechanisms of action may account for milk thistle's liver-protective effects. Silymarin from milk thistle has been reported to possess antioxidant effects and protect against depletion of glutathione, one of the liver's most important antioxidants. Silymarin has also been found to inhibit the pro-inflammatory enzyme lipooxygenase. Other findings suggest that milk thistle extracts suppress the formation of fibrotic scar tissue in the liver that can occur with certain liver diseases, and that it may help to stimulate the regeneration of liver tissue.21 Milk thistle extracts appear to have several strong anti-inflammatory effects on liver tissue. Specifically, silymarin may help to stabilize mast cells and inhibit neutrophil migration, Kupffer cells, and the formation of inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes.21 • Treating liver disease. Milk thistle extracts have been found to be effective in treating both acute and chronic hepatitis. In patients with acute viral hepatitis, treatment with silymarin helped to shorten treatment time and improve several markers of liver health, including bilirubin and the liver enzymes aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). In those with chronic hepatitis, six months of daily silymarin supplementation yielded similar improvement in liver enzymes.16 Milk thistle also benefits liver health in people with cirrhosis and alcoholic liver disease. When administered to individuals with alcoholic liver disease, silymarin helped to lower elevated bilirubin and liver enzymes to normal levels. Milk thistle extract also helped improve liver tissue cells, as determined by liver biopsy histology. Long-term supplementation with milk thistle over three years helped to improve survival rates in patients with cirrhosis of the liver.16 • Managing cholesterol. An animal study provides intriguing evidence that milk thistle may help promote healthy cholesterol levels. When rats with diet-induced elevated cholesterol levels consumed silymarin from milk thistle, their levels of beneficial high-density lipoprotein (HDL) rose, while their levels of total and biliary (liver) cholesterol diminished. Studies in humans are indicated to further investigate milk thistle's role in managing cholesterol.16 • Skin cancer prevention. One of the most exciting findings of recent years concerns the potential skin-protective effect of milk thistle extracts. Researchers found that topically applied milk thistle extract protects the skin of mice exposed to chemical carcinogens from skin tumor formation.7 Further studies in mice demonstrated that topically applied milk thistle extract protects the skin of mice against ultraviolet light-induced skin cancer.22 Further studies are indicated to explore the potential skin cancer-protective effects of topical application and internal consumption of milk thistle in humans.

Hi Claudia,

Not a 2 dog reunion story but just as special. Having lost our beloved Bernese Mountain Dog, Thorne, to age, we selected a breeder in Nevada ( rather she selected us) and we flew to Reno to bring our Brammble boy to his new home in Michigan. 3 years later, my cousins had retired to the Reno area and we,with Bramm, drove out to spend the Christmas Holidays with them. Bramm's breeder arranged to drive over to see her all grown up boy. Bramm was 8 weeks when he came to us and this is over 3 years later! Bramm and I waited outside for her arrival. He was busily inspecting the bushes when she drove up, and softly called his name. He rushed over to her with such enthusiasm, I thought his wagging tail might lift him right off the ground and he was not a small Berner. He knew her instantly and stayed by her side during her entire visit. Dogs DO remember!!!

Marie Ferro owns Marie's Hair Studio in Malibu, CA, close to "The Colony" an ocean-front enclave of the rich, famous and, very often, blonde. Ferro knows something about creating movie-star, close-up worthy cuts and color as she counts actresses, models and other style-makers among her clientele. Here she shares her latest collection, Malibu Blondes, including the steps and formulas.
Marie's Malibu Blonde Smooth Malibu Blonde Smooth- Photo 1
This is a great way to set hair, that won't leave roller marks that hot rollers often do. Gives the hair natural body, shape and movement.
Step 1- Use Phytokeretin shampoo and conditioner to build strength in hair, use a microfiber towel to remove most of the water from the hair to save drying time and when product is applied it adheres better to the hair.
Step 2- Mix a quarter size of each Phytodefrisant and Phyto 7, apply evenly though hair with a comb. Section hair in four sections. Start with 2 inch sections from the bottom of hair. When hair in the first section is dry and warm from the dryer, wrap 1 1/2 inch Velcro roller around the hair making sure the ends are placed evenly around the roller,secure with small clip. Be sure the hair is placed on the base so there is lift at the root. Continue placing the rollers from the bottom to the top of the head using a brick lay pattern.
Step 3- After rollers are completely cooled and removed use a Mason Pearson brush to lightly move hair into place, creating a part.
Use small amount of Phytolisse throughout the hair for extra shine and to calm any flyaways.
Step 4- Finish with Phyto's workable holding spray lifting hair gently at root for added lift where needed and an all over light spray to set.
Marie's Malibu Blonde Tousled Malibu Blonde Tousled -Photo 2
This look is a lived-in style similar to what the Victoria's Secret models wear, a look often requested by clients.
Step 1- Use Phytovolume Shampoo and Phyto Balm so the hair is smoothed but not weighted down. Use microfiber towel to remove majority of water from the hair. Apply to Phytoactif to root for lift. Using a paddle brush, move the hair back and forth from the bottom of the head up in all directions while drying to create a free flowing movement in hair. Use paddle brush to smooth hair and remove frizz while maintaining body.
Step 2- When hair is dry, scrunch in small amount of Intense Volume Mousse throughout the hair. Use a diffuser to work the mousse into the dry hair creating texture and movement.

Historical Background
Trinity College is a small academic college with a long and illustrious history within the University of Toronto, the largest university in Canada.
Trinity was founded in 1851 by John Strachan, the first Anglican Bishop of Toronto. Strachan had arrived in 1799 in Upper Canada (as Ontario was called before 1867) as a teacher, and within a few years established his first school, at Cornwall. In 1827 he obtained a royal charter for the University of King's College at York (Toronto), which admitted its first students in 1843. Despite Strachan's strong opposition to the move, on January 1, 1850 King's College became the secular University of Toronto. Gravely disappointed, he turned his attention to establishing yet another university, Trinity College, which received a provincial charter in 1851.
Trinity College admitted its first students at a new building designed by Kivas Tully on Queen Street West on January 15, 1852. The first class consisted of fifteen divinity students who had begun their studies at the Cobourg Diocesan Theological Institute (also founded by Strachan), plus four students in Arts, and some students in Medicine. On July 16 of the same year Queen Victoria granted Trinity College a royal charter.
During its first fifty years the College was one of the most important degree-granting institutions in Canada, and its graduates in Arts, Divinity, Medicine, Law, and Music (the College also granted some degrees in Pharmacy and Dentistry) were substantial contributors to society in Canada, the United States, England, and other parts of the world. The first woman student was admitted in 1883, and in 1888 Trinity established St. Hilda's College for women, putting the College in the forefront of the movement for higher education for women.
In 1904 the College joined the University of Toronto, relinquishing its rights to grant degrees in any faculty other than Divinity. Its Faculty of Arts became part of what is now known as the Faculty of Arts and Science of the University of Toronto, though the College continued to have exclusive responsibility for certain College subjects until 1974. In 1944 the Faculty of Divinity became a member of the Toronto Graduate School of Theological Studies, which brought together the various theological faculties on the University of Toronto campus; and later of its successor, the Toronto School of Theology, in 1970.
Though part of the University of Toronto, Trinity College retained its distinctive character and many independent features, including its charter, governing bodies, administration, and control over its budget, endowment, and maintenance. It now has about 1,700 undergraduate students in Arts and Science and about 140 who study at the Master's level and beyond in its Faculty of Divinity. Sports, a debating society (the Trinity College Literary Institute is the oldest university debating society in Canada), and dramatics (many well-know actors did their studies at Trinity) are among the many activities Trinity students are known for. Thirty-five of the College's students have become Rhodes Scholars.
Trinity moved to the Univerity of Toronto St. George campus in 1925, occupying new buildings that were modelled on the old ones, at a choice location close to the other colleges, libraries, and teaching departments of the University. The new St. Hilda's College opened in 1938, a large new chapel was built in 1955, and the final side of the College quadrangle was completed in 1963. The Gerald Larkin Building was finished in 1961, and the George Ignatieff Theatre in 1979. The University of Toronto's Munk Centre for International Studies at Trinity College opened in 2000; the Munk Centre is located in three beautifully renovated historic buildings, one of which houses Trinity's John W. Graham Library.
A new era began for the college in 1974 when a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with the University, allowing Trinity to expand its academic program beyond its traditional courses in the humanities. New interdisciplinary programs of study were begun at the College; the first was in International Relations and it has become one of the largest in the University. The other college interdisciplinary programs are Ethics, Society and Law; and Immunology.
The Armorial Bearings of Trinity College, Toronto
Their basis is the arms used by the Hon. and Rt. Rev. John Strachan (1778-1867), Founder of Trinity College, and Lord Bishop of Toronto. A translation of their heraldic message is:
I represent an Anglican (mitre) educational institution (book) in Ontario (trillium flowers), the foundation (border around shield) of John Strachan (stag arms), Bishop of Toronto (diocesan arms).
The supporters indicate the College's status as a university with a royal charter; the unicorn is taken from the royal arms of Scotland, the United Kingdom, and Canada, and the Canadian deer from the arms of Ontario. The seven flowers allude to the faculties in which Trinity originally granted degrees.
