A 3-year-old girl presents with difficulty sleeping, increased crying, and abdominal pain. She is the product of a normal full-term delivery and has no significant past medical history. Her parents note that she was healthy until approximately a month ago, when she began waking at night complaining of pain. They also note that she has been increasingly irritable and less willing to walk over the past 2 to 3 weeks. They deny fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. She has not lost any weight that they have noticed, although her appetite has been dwindling.
On examination, the patient is in no acute distress, although appears somewhat quiet and clingy. An abdominal mass is palpable in the region above the umbilicus. Her lungs are clear, and the remainder of her exam is within normal limits. CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis shows a large mass in the central abdomen, extending cranially to the mid-thorax along the right paraspinous region. Bone marrow biopsy demonstrates small round blue cells. Urine catecholamines are somewhat elevated above normal.
Discussion: The diagnosis is neuroblastoma, a malignancy that arises from embryonic neural crest cells of the peripheral nervous system and is the most common extra-cranial solid tumor of childhood. The presentation and stage at diagnosis, as well as the associated prognosis, may be very heterogeneous. Several diagnostic elements factor into risk stratification, including patient age, disease stage, tumor cell ploidy, histopathology, MYCN gene copy number, and other genetic aspects of the tumor. Select patients who are very young (less than 1 year of age) may have disease designated stage 4S that is expected to spontaneously regress and have an excellent prognosis. Patients with lowor intermediate-risk (stage 1 or 2) disease have an excellent prognosis after treatment with surgical resection with or without chemotherapy. Unfortunately, however, about half of patients have high-risk disease (stage 3 or 4, depending on other diagnostic factors) at diagnosis. Although the prognosis for such children is guarded, with aggressive treatment, long-term survival rates approach 50%. The current treatment paradigm for children with high-risk neuroblastoma is intensive multi-agent induction chemotherapy followed by surgical resection of the primary tumor, high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT), radiation therapy, and immunotherapy.
The patient described above was ultimately diagnosed with highrisk neuroblastoma. She underwent induction chemotherapy that included topotecan, cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, etoposide, vincristine, and doxorubicin. Surgical resection of her abdominothoracic mass was undertaken; the abdominal component was completely resected although the chest mass could not be entirely removed.
Following ASCT, the patient received radiation therapy. Historically, X-ray therapy has been used to deliver this treatment for neuroblastoma patients; in most centers worldwide, either 3D conformal X-ray therapy or intensity-modulated X-ray therapy would have been employed. Proton therapy is a radiation technology that has been available since the 1970s and has become more widespread over the past 1 to 2 decades. Proton therapy differs from X-ray therapy in that protons can be made to stop within tissue. Compared to X-rays, which traverse the patient depositing both entrance and exit dose, protons, with their ability to target smaller areas, allow considerable sparing of normal tissues. Proton therapy for neuroblastoma is a relatively new approach.
For this patient, the use of proton therapy compared to X-ray therapy allowed a100-fold reduction in radiation dose delivered to the patient's normal liver, lungs, and heart (see Figure 1). This was particularly important as it reduced her risk of pulmonary toxicity that was increased previously by her chemotherapy. It also reduced her risk of liver and kidney toxicity, allowing her to quickly receive the needed immunotherapy following completion of her radiation. The patient tolerated radiation with no clinical toxicity and is currently disease-free.
Figure 1: Radiation treatment plans for delivery of radiation to the tumor bed in the abdomen and chest using protons (left) versus x-ray therapy (right). Note the relative sparing of the liver and lungs when proton therapy is employed.
Proton therapy shows great promise for patients such as the one described here, and is available to many patients with solid and brain tumors who travel from around the world to receive treatment at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia/Roberts Proton Therapy Center.

Kristin Zelley, MS, CGC, and Kim E. Nichols, MD
CL is a previously healthy 15-year-old girl who presents with a 2-week history of left-sided knee pain and progressive swelling. There is no history of fever or trauma. Physical examination reveals swelling of the left knee, but no redness, warmth, tenderness to palpation, or limitation in range of motion. A left knee X-ray reveals a lytic lesion in the distal femur, later confirmed by MRI (see Figure 2). The mass is biopsied and found to be an osteosarcoma.
Upon further Figure 2: MRI of the left knee demonstrates an enhancing lesion of the distal femur with edema of the surrounding soft tissues.questioning, CL's mother notes that her husband died recently from acute myeloid leukemia following treatment for rhabdomyosarcoma. His sister has a history of breast cancer. Based on the family history of cancer, it was questioned whether CL might have Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS). She and her mother were counseled, and subsequently CL chose to undergo genetic testing. Test results returned positive for a mutation in TP53, the causative gene in LFS.
Discussion: CL has LFS, a rare cancer predisposing condition first described by Frederick Pei Li, MD, MA, and Joseph Fraumeni, MD, MSc, in 1969. Families with LFS are at greatest risk to develop six tumor types, including sarcomas of the muscle or bone, breast cancer, brain tumors, adrenocortical tumors, and acute leukemia. Since the original description, recent reports suggest that there are excess rates of many other cancer types. LFS is a highly penetrant syndrome, with more than 90% of affected individuals developing cancer by age 80. There is a significant risk for tumor development in childhood, with up to 20% of patients developing cancer during the first 2 decades of life. Affected individuals are at increased risk to develop multiple primary tumors, as in the case of CL's father, and may be at increased risk for radiation- or therapy-induced cancers.
CL had a highly suspicious family cancer history, which is a strong indicator of a possible underlying predisposition syndrome (see Table 1). Family histories concerning for hereditary predisposition to cancer typically include: 1) multiple members on the same side of the family with the same or similar types of cancer, or distinct cancer types that group together in specific syndromes (such as the rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, leukemia and breast cancer in this case); 2) relatives with early onset, multiple or bilateral cancers; and 3) a pattern suggestive of autosomal dominant inheritance. Therefore, when gathering a family history, clinicians should collect information on the age of cancer onset, type of cancer, and laterality in at least first- (parents and siblings), second- (grandparents, aunts, and uncles), and third- (cousins and great-grandparents) degree relatives. They should consider referral to a genetic counselor, oncologist, or geneticist with expertise in cancer predisposition if any of the features described below are identified.
|Clinical manifestation
|Indicator suggesting underlying predisposition
|Family history
|Syndromic features
|Specific tumor types
It is important to recognize a hereditary cancer syndrome because identification of affected children allows for appropriate surveillance and cancer management. In pre-symptomatic children, the primary goal of surveillance is to detect cancers at the earliest stages, when they are small, more easily resected and require treatment with less intensive or even no chemotherapy. As a result, the chances for cure are maximized and risks of side effects reduced. In certain cases, children may also undergo prophylactic removal of at-risk organs, a procedure that eliminates or significantly lowers the lifetime risk for cancer. For those children already affected with cancer, genetic information can guide the choice of surgical approach or medical regimen. Finally, identification of affected children enables the testing of other family members who may or may not require similar surveillance, preventive, or treatment measures.
At CHOP, the Pediatric Hereditary Cancer Predisposition Program evaluates and manages children who have or are suspected of having a cancer-predisposing genetic condition. A pediatric oncologist, geneticist, genetic counselor, and psychologist work to address the needs of children who are at increased risk for cancer. Our team provides comprehensive medical management, recommends and reviews the results of screening tests, and offers supportive counseling. Each member of our team is dedicated to providing the most skilled, compassionate care available in an environment that focuses on children and their families. Also key to the program are community physicians, who are often the most likely to spot signs of predisposition in families, particularly among siblings and other relatives.

The news about childhood cancer survivors continues to improve. Through organized clinical trials, pediatric oncologists have discovered treatments that can now cure almost 80% of children who are diagnosed with cancer. Currently, there are more than 270,000 pediatric cancer survivors living in the United States. These numbers will continue to grow, making it more and more likely that primary care providers (PCPs) will encounter cancer survivors in their daily practice. It is important for oncologists and PCPs to work together to care for this special population of patients.
Families often struggle with the initial transition back to primary care after therapy ends. While they still have routine follow-up for their cancer, not every medical issue requires attention from their oncologist. Patients are encouraged and may need to be redirected to contact their pediatrician's office for routine medical care.
As time passes, the number and intensity of oncology follow-up visits diminish and some sense of normalcy settles in. This chapter of the after-therapy experience for pediatric cancer survivors varies, depending on the intensity of treatments used to cure their disease. Most survivors will do quite well long-term, with minimal health issues related to their cancer or treatment. Other patients may experience more longterm effects and require closer medical monitoring throughout their lifespan. At The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, we understand there is a need for specialized care in a clinic that focuses specifically on the needs of survivors. The Cancer Survivorship Program at CHOP helps patients and family members navigate life after cancer, including both the physical and emotional issues they may face. Once a patient is at least 5 years from diagnosis and 2 years from his or her last cancer therapy, a visit to the Survivorship Clinic can occur. A typical visit involves:
No matter where the patient may fall on this survivorship continuum, partnership between the CHOP oncologist and the PCP is paramount. There are several key components to this partnership:
Correspondence: This begins with the initial referral to the Cancer Center and should include details on the recent history, reason for referral and any diagnostic studies already performed. Similarly, it is the specialist's duty to send information back to the primary care physician on diagnosis, planned treatment and the patient's progress over time. Once a patient is off therapy, then correspondence from oncology to the primary's practice should include a treatment summary and recommendations for risk-based surveillance for late effects of therapy over the patient's lifetime.
Communication: Open lines of communication between the oncologist and the PCP are important. Someone at CHOP is always available to discuss patient issues should concerns arise.
COG Guidelines: The Children's Oncology Group Long-Term Follow-Up Guidelines for Survivors of Childhood, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancers are helpful for healthcare professionals who do not regularly care for survivors of pediatric malignancies.
Consistency of Message: It is important patients and parents hear from both their oncologist and PCP that, now that therapy is complete, a visit to the pediatrician/primary care physician should be the first stop for their medical needs.
Community: It is not an "us versus them" scenario when caring for our cancer survivors. While CHOP's Cancer Center oncologistsprovided the treatments to help cure the child's cancer, we are only one part of the team. It is a community of healthcare providers, with the primary care physician at the hub, that will provide ongoing follow-up these survivors will need as they move through their lives. Fostering this sense of community with our patients and families will help them to eventually make the transition from on therapy to survivorship.

second feeder I've bought by Nance07/31/2011
I have had this feeder for approx 3 years. The timer broke after 2 years so I needed to buy a new one. My cat has destroyed this feeder. She was able to put her paw up the chute and bang on the auger to get the food that was in the auger. She broke off the chute and now the auger is so loose it will jam because too much food is in the way. I will buy another feeder so she is able to have food when I am away but will somehow make it so she can't get her paw up the chute. Would I buy another? Obviously. BUT it should have been constructed better so she wouldn't have been able to get to the auger and break off the chute.
Auto pet feeder for small dogs & cats by Jake in MD02/04/2013
This was a nice surprise. Good quality, easy to set up, works as advertised. It cost a lot more than I planned to spend, but it was worth it because of its reliability and the ability to fine-tune the amount of dry feed almost to the kernel! I absolutely would recommend this feeder!
semi good purchase by sandgrl from OKLAHOMA CITY, OK07/24/2012
This is a good product as long as you have someone making sure it is dispensing. I have had several times where it is not dispensing and as long as you shake it, or jiggle it seems to get it started. I have two and the one I have bought from here is the one I am having problems with dispensing. The other one is not having any issues. And I am using small dog food. Would I recommend it? Possibly, but if you have to watch it, is it worth it?!
Featured Reviews for Automatic Pet Feeder MEDIUM (Dogs and Cats 15-40 lbs.)
Good for vacation by CK01/20/2013
I used this device for a vacation where I would have infrequent cat sitters. It was easy to assemble and moderately easy to program. For cats and small kibble, I found it fascinating that i needed to schedule mere seconds to get the correct quantity. The only issue for my cats is that one of them dominates the other. They are accustomed to separate bowls, and even though this bowl is big, one tends to chase the other off because now they must share. Not a defect of the product, just the reality of my cats' personalities.

spoke to an "Austrian" economics student
me: All I have heard is that the Austrians don't advocate the use of math.
austrian: We use math.
me: So…
austrian: We just try to not use math as a means of modeling everything.
me: I suppose it's sensible that we cannot model everything and everyone's individual preferences. So where does the criticism of Austrians' love/hate relationship with math come from then?
austrian: An organic system such as the economy is best left without implementing policies based off faulty math.
me: So the whole deal is that you don't use a lot of math? Is that it?
austrian: Yeah.
I don't get it. There is nothing wrong with utilizing math to help predict the effects of a policy, but does the Austrian school of thought toss math to the sidelines 90% of the time?
Austrians don't like mathematically modeling behavior because they think that you can't.
You can. It's what neoclassical economics has done using the same ideas Austrians had (utility maxizing individuals, preferences, etc etc)
Perhaps economics could be mathematically organized if we had perfect information and all participants practiced rational behavior that can also be quantified.
But we don't always have perfect information, the info we do have can't always be extrapolated and actors are certainly not always rational.
But I do agree that if math can be utilized, then by all means, do so. I'm just not convinced that it can always be utilized as an effective tool.

Ever since it was discovered that Selena Gomez visited an Arizona treatment facility last month, the singer hasn't commented, despite the rumors regarding what sent her there, how long she stayed, and why she left. Selena still hasn't said anything about that, but she's broken her silence to thank fans for their support.
In a post on Twitter and Instagram , Selena writes, " I've done everything I could to the best of my ability. Thank you for the unconditional love and cyber hugs. You inspire me. " She's included a photo of herself smiling while standing on the prow of a boat on a lake at an undisclosed location.
Selena entered Dawn at the Meadows, a facility in Arizona, on January 5, then left January 20 to attend the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. She's since been seen at a number of industry events. Her spokesperson told ABC News Radio, "Selena voluntarily spent time at Meadows but not for substance abuse."
Selena's BFF, Demi Lovato , who's been in rehab for substance abuse and emotional issues, intimated on Twitter that she supported Selena's decision to seek help, and recently told E!, "That's all of her business, and I just want to let her do her thing. And yeah, she's amazing. I love her."

Higher Ground
Cecilia Alemani, curator of Manhattan's High Line, brings outdoor art to a whole new level
by Rebecca Carroll Photography Mike Vorrasi
As a young aspiring curator in Milan, Italy, Alemani had felt somewhat daunted by the prospect of moving to New York City. "It is such a hard city to imagine living in," says Alemani, who had not been to the United States prior to her 2003 move to study in the Bard College curatorial program. "Even if you've read about it and seen movies, the energy can never be translated to your ideas." In her trilling Italian accent, Aleman recalls how she had arrived in New York with "my two huge suitcases." After that, she says with a wide, guileless grin, "I never left."
At 35, Alemani now holds the coveted position of Curator and Director of the High Line Art program presented by Friends of the High Line, and happily shares that once here, she immediately felt welcome. "New Yorkers really love Italians," she says. And if Alemani is representative of an Italian in the eyes of a New Yorker, it's easy to see why. Tall, lithe and genuinely fetching, Alemani greets me on the High Line wearing a Missoni-esque print top and crisp white skinny jeans. Her face is aglow and she is clearly pleased to see so many visitors out and enjoying themselves as we walk the length of the High Line, which is indeed buzzing with people — couples, families with young children, tourists, New Yorkers. She smiles broadly at passersby and engages with such grace and ease that I forget this is her job, and that we are in a public park.
Alemani's primary task is to commission "not just public art, but art for the public."
With its pop-minded partnership events (serving as venue for the 10th anniversary of Project Runway earlier this year), coveted art-centric location (right smack in the middle of the Chelsea art gallery scene), high profile financial donors (Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenburg among them) and celebrity board members (including Edward Norton and Lisa Maria Falcone), it doesn't always immediately register that the High Line is an historical landmark owned by the New York City Parks & Recreation Department, and for which Alemani's primary task is to commission "not just public art, but art for the public."
"I know it may sound banal," she says, in between brief pauses to point out some of the hidden sculptures along the way, "but it's all for the 4 million people that come to the High Line every year." Fortunately, Alemani is undeterred by the prospect of 4 million people looking at art she has hand-selected. In her post since October 2011, she clearly loves what she does.
One unforeseen snag with the job, however, is the "spontaneous art" that has begun to pop up on the residential buildings that surround the High Line. "People who have properties in the area are starting to put up huge, gigantic colorful murals and art installations, which are not part of our program," explains Alemani of scattered pieces along the line that include a rooftop installation of a free-standing zoo by multi-media artist Jordan Betten. "I love the fact that it's a creative effort. It's just that if I want to put a sculpture in front of that wall, now there is a huge mural there. So logistically it's hard to manage, but it is also something that is interesting and exciting. Part of my job now is figuring out how we talk about this other art — how we embrace and explain it. I don't have an answer yet."
"I don't stare up anymore, because I'm so used to [it]... It's something that no other city can communicate to you — this kind of verticality."
As we reach the end of the line and look out at the vast green density of what is still left to be restored, Alemani appears serene, like she is exactly where she is meant to be. On our return, Alemani, who lives in the East Village with her husband, New Museum Associate Director Massimiliano Gioni, tells of a recent visit from her parents. "They kept staring up," she says. "I don't stare up anymore, because I'm so used to the buildings. I did at first, especially in midtown. I would go the MoMA and then spend the rest of my day looking up. It's something that no other city can communicate to you — this kind of verticality. It's really specific to New York."
And staying true to that sort of New York specificity is what Alemani aims to achieve through her ongoing exhibitions at High Line Art. "The whole story of the High Line was born out of the idea of community. It's a community park," she says, against an open air backdrop of picnics and ice cream cones, laughter and lolling. "Art is something that comes on top of the park to keep the experience fresh and new, but it is a park and our mission is for people to experience the park in its nature."

Whoo, whoo, chug, chug, chug
forced to endure long waits at the Marine Drive railroad
crossing will soon see some respite, at least for those
southbound trains which had been tying up the tracks. Thats
because U.S. Customs inspections will be moving a few miles
south to the Swift station near Custer.
Burlington-Northern Santa Fe representative Roger Jacobson told Blaine city council members at their regular meeting April 22 that the move would take place in about a months time and would result in the abandonment of the Blaine train station. Currently, only customs and clerical workers use the facility and they would be moving to Swift as well. City manager Gary Tomsic reiterated the citys desire to purchase the train station but Jacobson said no decision on the buildings disposition had yet been made.
Northbound freight trains will still present a problem of tying up the crossing when they stop for Canada Customs. Blaine police chief Bill Elfo said northbound trains had sparked numerous complaints with delays running as long as 40 minutes. Jacobson appeared to be unaware of the problem.
Appearing with Jacobson before council was Jeffrey Shultz from the state department of transportation (DOT). The two men were there to solicit input from the city on plans to raise the tracks speed limit. Currently 50 miles per hour, the state would like to raise it to 60 mph over the next few months and eventually get it as high 68 mph. South of Mitchell Street, the train now gets up to 80 mph.
Shultz said the state DOT was mandated to improve speed and safety of passenger rail service and their eventual goal was to have the Amtrak train run from Vancouver to Seattle in under three hours. The run currently is just shy of four hours.
We need to be competitive with cars and planes so we can take cars off I-5, said Jacobson.
Asked how much difference the speed increase would make, Shultz replied only 10-15 seconds but that the cumulative effect from towns and cities down the line, coupled with track improvements, would allow the eventual realization of Amtraks goal.

Tree Trimming and Removal
Ameren Illinois trims trees only in rights-of-way and easements. Trees near the electric line that runs from the main power line to a home - called a service drop - are the property owner's responsibility. See illustration of service drops in a
Distribution System
Usually, when homes are built an easement is granted at the time of development that allows utilities the ability to access and maintain their equipment. Ameren Illinois may therefore hold easement rights on the land on which power lines and poles are located. Ameren Illinois requests landowners not to encroach on the easements with trees or buildings that may disrupt the operation of the lines.
If you are concerned about tree growth near your service drop, please call 800.755.5000 to request and schedule an appointment to have your service drop disconnected in order to have the trees near this line trimmed safely. We recommend that you hire a professional tree service to do this trimming.
In some cases, Ameren Illinois may have to remove trees that we deem a high risk to electrical service or to the general public. Fast growing trees under power lines can interfere with electrical service and cause power outages. A contractor from Ameren Illinois will notify the homeowner regarding the need for removal.

1. The Dodd-Frank effect: Good, bad or both?
Although the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the mega-agency created by the Dodd-Frank financial regulatory bill, has only been in existence for about six months, all of the Republican presidential candidates and GOP congressional leaders have slammed the agency and called for its abolition. Their central charge is that the regulations it has already promulgated are strangling the financial system and disabling banks from making the kinds of loans to small businesses and potential homeowners that would reignite the economy.
For example, in the Jan. 23 Republican presidential debate Mitt Romney said he had spoken to a banker in New York who said he had "hundreds of lawyers" tied up trying to navigate the new regulations.
Some sophisticated financial reporter, or team of reporters, needs to dig into that – with specifics. What exactly is the new agency requiring that is gumming up the works? What new rules are drawing the most persuasive complaints? How burdensome are they? How many lawyers and others are actually involved who were not working on the same types of regulations before? What abuses are the new rules intended to prevent? Which ones, if any, really do seem indefensible and which ones, if any, seem smartly crafted and worth the extra burden?
The best way to do a story like this is to go to one big bank and ask for full, on-the-record access to those working in the trenches on compliance. Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase, who has been a lead complainer, would be my first candidate; ask him to show us the trauma. Then enlist a community bank in the same show-and-tell. Dig in to every single detail, with no preconceptions. Either way, it's a great story about how what happens in Washington affects Wall Street and Main Street.
2. Private equity and blue-collar workers:
The controversy over Bain Capital and Mitt Romney's defense against charges that Bain is guilty of "vulture capitalism" call for a broader story about one of the most interesting ironies in American finance and business: As Romney has pointed out, private equity funds draw much of their investment dollars from – and make much of their money for – pension funds. And among the biggest of these pension funds are those whose beneficiaries are the most liberal-leaning, 99-percenter unions, particularly those representing teachers and other public employees. The same is true of venture capital funds, which, because they focus more on startups than private equity funds do, are perhaps more likely to fund businesses that threaten to disrupt an industrial status quo that unions might want to preserve.

The Word: Lea Michele back on 'Glee' set after Cory Monteith's death
Poor Lea Michele is an incredible trooper. Just weeks after her boyfriend and "Glee" co-star Cory Monteith's sudden death from a drug overdose, she's already back to work on the show where they met.
"First day of glee today..And at my first wardrobe fitting for Rachel Berry for Season Five! I've missed her so much❤," Michele tweeted yesterday.
The actress is likely filming one of the series' first episodes, but she and the rest of the cast and crew have what's sure to be a heartbreaking task ahead: The third episode of the upcoming season will address Monteith's death. After that, they'll take a break so the production team can reshape the season without Monteith.
The actress only recently broke her silence about Monteith's loss. Two weeks after his death, Lea Michele posted a message on Twitter along with this gut-wrenching photo of the two of them taken shortly before Monteith died from a drug overdose.
"Thank you all for helping me through this time with your enormous love & support," she wrote. "Cory will forever be in my heart." Michele has been busy helping Monteith's family with funeral arrangements as well as dealing with the "Glee" cast and crew.

The Florida National Guard made an end run around the state Constitution's gay-marriage ban this week by having all married military couples — gay and straight — apply for and receive benefits at federal, not state, facilities. Smart move.
After the U.S. Supreme Court's June ruling that the federal government must recognize legally married same-sex couples, the Pentagon made same-sex spouses of military members eligible for the same benefits as opposite-sex spouses. But in Florida, the Guard was in a quandary because recognizing same-sex military spouses could violate the state Constitution. Its admirable solution — using the aegis of federal power — is a good example of why federal non-discrimination laws have so much clout.
It's also another argument for Congress passing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would outlaw workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The proposed law has languished for almost 40 years, an example of how behind the times Congress can be. Really, if the Pentagon banned discrimination against gays and lesbians, can't the U.S. House and Senate do the same after all these years?
That's the question in the Senate this week, where seven Republicans commendably stepped across the aisle Monday and voted to begin debate on ENDA. Sad to say, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio wasn't among them. A disappointing no-show, especially since his fellow Miami lawmaker, Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, is a prominent sponsor of the companion bill in the House.
The cloture vote, 61-30, triggered a full Senate debate. If ENDA passes, as it should, it would extend a federal civil right to gay, lesbian and bisexual workers, a much-needed — and overdue — protection.
Under current law, employers in 29 states — including Florida — can refuse to hire someone based on his or her sexual orientation. Federal law prohibits employer discrimination based on race, gender, religion, age and national origin. The same law should shield gays, lesbians and transgender persons in the workplace.
But a proposed amendment would exempt religious and religiously affiliated institutions, such as churches, hospitals and universities, from the anti-discrimination measures. The ACLU says this would create a "right" to discriminate by churches and such. Correct. The amendment's sweep is much broader than in other civil-rights laws, which allow religious institutions to show a preference for members of their own religion when hiring, but bans them from using race, sex, age, etc., in employment policies.
The proposed exemptions are overly broad and should be voted down. What protects other minorities should be no different when it comes to protecting gays, lesbians and transgender people.
If the Senate approves ENDA, it's on to the House, where it will be Rep. Ros-Lehtinen's turn to urge passage. We wish her success.
Like so much other progressive legislation, the act faces a tough time in the House. Speaker John Boehner's office warned that ENDA would increase frivolous litigation and cost American jobs.
That argument has been wielded against all anti-discrimination legislation — from the 1964 Civil Rights Act to 1990's Americans with Disabilities Act — and it failed to develop traction with the passing years. House members need to lift the blinders and recognize that gay, lesbian and transgender Americans deserve the same rights as every other U.S. citizen.

Tom Brady throws four scoring strikes as Pats rout Texans
Foxboro, MA, United States (4E Sports) – Tom Brady tossed for 298 yards and four touchdowns as the New England Patriots snapped the Houston Texans' six-game winning streak, 42-14, in Monday Night Football at Gillette Stadium.
Brady completed 21 of 35 passes and issued two touchdown heaves to tight end Aaron Hernandez and one each to wide receivers Brandon Lloyd and Donte Stallworth to help the Patriots to their 10th win in 13 outings.
The quarterback has now led the Patriots to a 10-win season 10 times in his career to tie Brett Favre for second place all-time, behind Peyton Manning (12). Brady accomplished the feat in 2001, 2003-07, and 2009-12.
Also, New England has reached at least 10 regular-season wins for 10 consecutive seasons, joining San Francisco (16) as the only teams in NFL history to accomplish the feat.
At the same time, coach Bill Belichick extended his NFL record streak by coaching the Patriots to 10 straight seasons with 10 wins or more. Last year, he became the first coach in NFL history with nine straight seasons with at least 10 victories.
"The players really did a heck of a job tonight, all the way across the board. We got good contributions from all three phases. I thought those guys really tried to play the game the way we need to play it," Belichick said.
Belichick got 72 yards on 18 carries from sophomore running back Stevan Ridley, 89 yards on seven carries from Lloyd and 63 yards on one catch from Hernandez.
The Patriots defense also limited the Texans to 4-for-14 conversion on third down and had 61 total tackles.
Matt Schaub completed 19 of 32 passes for 232 yards and no touchdown while running back Arian Foster and backup quarterback TJ Yates delivered a touchdown each for the Texans, who tasted their first road loss and dropped to 11-2.
In the first period, Brady hit Hernandez with a seven-yard touchdown pass and added another passing score to Lloyd for a 14-0 advantage.
Brady made it 21-0 in the second quarter with a four-yard scoring pass to Hernandez. He posted his fourth touchdown pass to Stallworth in the third period for a commanding 28-0 cushion.
Foster then closed the third period with a one-yard touchdown run to put the Texans on the board before the start of the final period.
Lloyd recovered a fumble by Brady in the endzone to give the Patriots a 35-7 lead before
Ridley completed the rout with a 14-yard touchdown run.

Like so many things in Michael Jackson's life, the questions about his estate and custody of his children have become complicated and mysterious — and no one, not even his family, knows what to believe.As his parents sought control of his estate, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that Jackson's most recent will, written in 2002, divided his estate between his mother, three children and charities, apparently cutting out Joseph Jackson, the father with whom he had a strained and tumultuous relationship.See Jackson's influenceThe report came amid news reports saying not only that Jackson might not be the biological father of his children, but that the woman who gave birth to them might not be their biological mother.TMZ reported that Jackson was not the biological father of any of his three children, while Us Weekly claimed the father of his two older children was Los Angeles dermatologist Arnold Klein. The site also said police sought to speak with Klein about any drugs he may have prescribed to Jackson, but a police spokeswoman declined to comment on the report to TVGuide.com.Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., known as Prince Michael, 12; and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11, were born to Deborah Rowe, Jackson's ex-wife, who worked for Klein as a nurse. Jackson's third child, Prince Michael II, 7, was born to a surrogate mother.Look back on Jackson's careerTMZ said that although Rowe carried the children, she was not their biological mother. The site also said Jackson never adopted any of his three children because he did not believe any third party would try to assume custody.Both TMZ and Us cited anonymous sources."Debbie remains grief stricken. Her thoughts are with the children and all of the Jackson family," Rowe's attorney Marta Almli said in an e-mail. "To the extent she must respond to court proceedings that were started by others, she will of course do so at the appropriate time."A woman who answered the phone at Klein's office said he was unavailable for comment.Joseph Jackson and Jackson's mother, Katherine, filed court papers Monday saying they believed Jackson had died without a valid will. Katherine Jackson was also awarded temporary guardianship of the singer's children, and will seek permanent guardianship at an Aug. 3 hearing.The Journal, citing anonymous sources, said Jackson's 2002 will could be submitted to Los Angeles Superior Court as early as Thursday. "No will has been presented to family or us," the parents' lawyer, L. Londell McMillan, told the Journal. "We will review any will when we see it."Watch Jackson with The Jackson 5Jackson had a difficult relationship with his father, and spoke repeatedly of Joseph Jackson hitting him for missing notes or fumbling dance moves when he and his brothers performed as The Jackson 5.In other developments:—Thousands of fans gathered Tuesday to honor the pop legend at New York City's Apollo Theater, where the group won an amateur-night competition 42 years ago. Fans began lining up hours before the start of a tribute to Jackson featuring DJs spinning his songs and a video retrospective.—An attorney for Jackson's private physician said the doctor scrambled for 30 minutes trying to find a working landline in Jackson's home so he could call 911 as he tried to save the singer's life Thursday. Attorney Ed Chernoff said Dr. Conrad Murray told him landlines in Jackson's mansion had been shut down for security reasons, and that when he called security guards no one answered. He finally found a chef to call for help. Chernoff said Murray couldn't call on his cell phone because he didn't know Jackson's address.—Concert promoter AEG Live said it would begin offering refunds Wednesday to the thousands of fans who bought an estimated $85 million worth of tickets to Jackson's planned comeback shows. Fans also had the option of keeping their tickets, which were designed by Jackson, as souvenirs.—Funeral arrangements for the singer remained uncertain Tuesday.Tune in to the TV Guide Network for Stars Reflect on the Man in the Mirror on Tuesday at 8 pm/ET & PT and Michael Jackson: His Musical Legacy Volume Two on Wednesday at 8 pm/ET & PT.

10 top tech gadgets for the holidays
It's time for tech giants (and potential challengers) to battle for supremacy under the Christmas tree, and a place in consumers' wired-in lives for the year ahead.
The Nabi 2 tablet was mentioned in the article. While this is a great tablet from a hardware point of view, the lack of Google Play Store on it is a serious deficiency. I am speaking from experience when I warn parents that eventually, your child will want an app from the Play Store. You may think you can get by with the Amazon App Store, but eventually, you will want Google Play. The maker will try to placate you with clunky work-arounds, but it isn't Google Play. Why pretty much every other Android tablet comes with the Play Store and this one can't has never been adequately explained.
You may be right - to each its own. But I still maintain that the acquisition of cyber gadgetry is silly. I am more impressed with things that remain valuable - alithograph by McKnight, a vintage oriental rug, Martin guitar or a Steinway piano. You have to hold your own during the "herstyria" of texting, sexting and twittering garbage. Since I own three splendid film cameras, I am in no mood to shell out money for the digitized nonsense.
This "need vs want" aregument is rediculous. All of you that made it have plenty of things in your life that you don't NEED. Everything from a bed to your car to a house with even an inch more room than you need to move around. Get of your high horse before someone knocks you off it. Your hypocrisy is unbecoming. Hypocrites and pedophiles are at about the same level in my book, a book I read on my ipad, while listening to music on my iphone 5 which I use to take photos of my fossil fuel burning car which I use to take me to places I don't NEED to go but do it because I CAN.
The E-readers they mention in this article are excellent gifts, advancements in technology, and, yes they are excellent ecological choices. One can't count the E-readers in a tree, but one can count the trees in an E-reader. Back to Mom and Dad, who are avid readers; I got the each a basic Kindle E-reader, cause they both need books in larger print, and what they want to read isn't always available in larger print, but the E-readers fix that problem with the adjustable fonts. Additionally, they are easy to carry around, operate, and in most cases, lighter than than the Hardbound NY-Times bestsellers they prefer to read. And I get to bring them up to speed on technology. It's OK to avoid the hassles of modern technology.... if you don't mind sowing with a horse and plow. :-)

By Paula Dallacqua, Staff Writer
Emily Katz '14 knows how to set the mood. Her even demeanor coupled with Little Caesars pizza and Rock & Rye pop make me feel like I am having a casual conversation with friends over dinner, rather than attending a meeting on alcohol.
Katz understands that offering a space for people to reflect is essential for her start-up group, Students Helping Others Choose Knowledgeably (SHOCK). SHOCK is a peer support group for alcohol education, but Katz makes it clear that "we do not condemn alcohol in any way."
The idea for SHOCK originated from Katz's Senior Individualized Project research, where she studied different peer support models for alcohol-related issues. In her research, Katz found that peer support is the most efficient and meaningful approach towards the intervention and curbing of drinking on campus. Generally, peer-to-peer groups are more relatable than the superior-to-subordinate model in which we typically receive alcohol education.
By eliminating the power dynamic that authority figures can present, peer-to-peer groups decrease the potential elements of condescension and shame, and increase the opportunity for highly impactful dialogue.
Watching people run away from her table at K Fest, Katz realized that alcohol education is deeply stigmatized. She thinks the fear is rooted in the traditional model of "Do not drink or you will die" (akin to the logic in Mean Girls, 'Don't have sex because you will get pregnant. And die.').
Unfortunately, the harshness of the message seems to perpetuate a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy, causing most students to feel like since they're already expected to drink, then why not do it anyway?
SHOCK meetings consciously aim to provide a more laidback environment so that a campus-wide dialogue on alcohol may be started, rather than "just meeting in the caf on Sunday morning," Katz says.
Not yet recognized as a student organization, Katz is currently paying for everything out of pocket. That doesn't stop her from providing the necessary amenities for a comfortable atmosphere though. She says, "You couldn't dream of more pizza."
In order to get administrative support, Katz needs to demonstrate the effectiveness of SHOCK. More student participation means more data, which means more credibility. If anything, SHOCK is also "a resource that's available to everybody. It's a light-hearted place to talk to people," explains Katz.
Throughout the fall quarter, SHOCK will meet every Wednesday of even weeks at 6 p.m. in the fourth-floor Psychology Lounge of Olds Upton. Katz plans to continue SHOCK into the winter and spring, as well.

First Brief 'Ender's Game' Footage
Posted on Friday, May 3rd, 2013 by Russ Fischer
As trailer teases go, this first brief bit of footage from Gavin Hood's adaptation of Orson Scott Card's sci-fi novel Ender's Game is pretty good. It shows the major cast members: Asa Butterfield as young military student Ender; Harrison Ford as his teacher Colonel Graff, and Ben Kingsley as war hero Mazer Rackham. It also gives you a look at the battle room, where Ender is trained to be a warrior in the fight against aliens who have battled Earth in the past and who represent a threat to humanity's future.
There's also a slightly awkward intro from Butterfield and Ford, but the footage is probably going to be the highlight for fans of the novel. Watch for the trailer on Tuesday May 7. Read More »

|The Monroes are statuettes that serve as the Love Your Shorts awards. (Photo by Cass Yankala '12)
As I walk from the brick road to the quaint space that is the Wayne Densch Performing Arts Center in Sanford, Florida, I can tell that something unique is about to happen. The red carpet is laid out. Rollins students are setting up to take paparazzi-style photos of attendees. People capture video with handheld digital devices in the same building that once showcased films on reels. The balance of old and new creates an energy that can only be experienced in person. Over the course of the festival's three days (February 10-12), participants and audience members will be able to see various short films and help vote on the winners.
This is my first time at Love Your Shorts (LYS) Film Festival, but I am not necessarily a novice. This is only the second year that the festival has existed, though it is hard to tell by the look of things, which appears as though they've been orchestrated by experienced festival veterans. And yet, founders Christina Grace-Beverly and Nelson Beverly will joke that the festival casually sprung from a night of dreaming out loud with friends in a pub. They make it seem easy. A quick look behind the scenes of opening night, though, shows that it is not quite the case.
6:30 p.m.—Volunteers stand ready with brochures and ballots, waiting to answer questions and seat guests. I grab a brochure and run outside to find out what Grace-Beverly might be experiencing at the front table.
6:45 p.m.—After some confusion over the difference between weekend passholders and one-night ticketholders, the line of attendees grows. LYS is a community-centered festival set in a small town, and perhaps one of the most important duties of the night is offering a friendly face. "I get to meet all the people that I'd been emailing over the last month," Grace-Beverly said. "It's so great to put a face to a name and meet the filmmakers."
6:55 p.m.—Loud chatter fills the theater as I walk through to find a seat. Organizers are busy getting the last of the tasks done, waiting for the stragglers to seat themselves and, outside, hoping the light wind does not turn into a light rain.
7:05 p.m.—I, along with other attendees, get comfortable in my seat while, upstairs, tech crew flashes the lights as a five-minute warning that the show will start soon.
7:10 p.m.—I can feel the excitement in the room heighten as the intro starts. "Welcome to the second annual Love Your Shorts Film Festival!"
7:16 p.m.—Call to tweet and text. What draws some to LYS over other film festivals is its openness to community and various media. Instead of immediately asking the audience to silence its phones, attendees are asked to take their phones out and to text, tweet, and whatever else they can think of to let their friends know that they are at the festival. Then, of course, it is time to turn the phones off and enjoy the show.
8:06 p.m.—After an onslaught of heavy rain, technical difficulties from lightning cut a film off only a few minutes before it ends. "There are certain times that you can plan for and then there are other times when you just have to go with the flow," Grace-Beverly said. "You improvise and make the best of it." Sitting next to the projection pit, I get to see how quickly organizers address problems behind the scenes. Luckily, their quick thinking and the storm's passing allow us to keep watching.
8:52 p.m.—As the film block ends, the show is over for those of us sitting in the audience. All that is left is to vote for the winner and go home to talk about the night over coffee or wine. But in a way, the night has only just begun behind the scenes of LYS. Now is time to count votes, announce the winner, and shuffle everyone out safely in order to clean up from tonight, prep for tomorrow, and manage the opening night party.
9:04 p.m.—"A Finger, Two Dots, Then Me" wins the festival's first Monroe, a statuette crafted by local artist Julie Kessler that serves as the LYS award.
Amanda Hampton '12 (far right) joins up with Cameron Greeley '12, Cass Yankala '12, and Associate Professor of Critical Media and Cultural Studies Denise Cummings for a post-festival celebration.
A successful opening night. But all of this is only a small fraction of what these dedicated individuals do. When Grace-Beverly and Beverly came to speak to my class at Rollins, we heard about all that goes into the festival before the actual event takes place. Before any of the opening night events can occur, they have to secure a venue, obtain sponsors, organize the dates and times of the festival, and select 70 films for screening from the 220 that were submitted. When I arrive on opening night, I become aware that someone also had to handle ticket sales, promoting, coordinating volunteers, designing t-shirts, and deciding how to control traffic flow. Needless to say, it is a team effort.
All that effort seems to have paid off though and at the end of the night, the Wayne Densch explodes with applause. This is the sound of satisfied attendees, of people falling in love with film. It is the sound of what will prove to be a fruitful second film festival for its founders and for the town of Sanford. "It was really amazing to see how far we had come in just one year," Grace-Beverly said. As I look around, I can see nothing but smiles on the faces of organizers and attendees alike.
By the time I leave, the theater is empty. Nearly everything seems to be calming down—the box office is closed and the paparazzi have moved on—but one thing is clear: that energy that I felt upon approaching the festival's red carpet earlier this evening, the one that could only be felt in person, is still present. As I walk away from the crimson lane and back onto the brick roads of Sanford, I can only think what that means for 2013.

-- Robert Preidt
FRIDAY, Aug. 27 (HealthDay News) -- Although teen smoking rates
dropped in the past decade, they have stalled in recent years,
which means increased tobacco prevention efforts are needed, a new
U.S. government study shows.
Between 2000 and 2009, cigarette smoking rates declined from 28
percent to 17.2 percent among high school students, and from 11
percent to 5.2 percent among middle school students, said
researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and
However, they noted that the declines between 2006 and 2009 were
not statistically significant -- from 19.8 percent to 17.2 percent
among high school students and from 6.3 percent to 5.2 percent
among middle school students.
The analysis of data from the National Youth Tobacco Survey also
found that in 2009, 8.2 percent of middle school students and 23.9
percent of high school students reported any tobacco use, including
smokeless tobacco, pipes, cigars, bidis (small brown cigarettes
wrapped in a leaf), and kreteks (clove cigarettes).
In 2000, 15.1 percent of middle school students and 34.5 percent
of high school students reported some type of tobacco use,
according to the report. It appears in this week's issue of the
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, which is published by the CDC.
The researchers said tobacco use remains the single leading
preventable cause of death and disease in the United States and
that more than 80 percent of adult smokers begin smoking before age
To further reduce smoking and other types of tobacco use among
young people, the study authors said restrictions on advertising,
promotion and availability of tobacco products to young people need
to be combined with measures such as public smoking bans and
increases in the price of tobacco products.

Roast Turkey with Mushroom Sauce Recipe
This classic Thanksgiving bird comes from Charlie Palmer, one of America's leading chefs.
What to buy: Look for a bird that hasn't been frozen. You might have to order it in advance from your butcher, but it's worth the money.
Game plan: Prepare the turkey by removing the giblets from the bird and reserving them for the gravy. Rinse and dry the turkey thoroughly, especially around the joints and in the cavity. Rub the entire turkey with the cut side of a halved garlic clove, and then squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the bird and rub the juice all over. Place the garlic and lemon in the cavity. Rub all over with a few good pinches of salt. For a crisp, golden bird, it helps to let the turkey skin dry out a bit. To do this, place the bird on a plate, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and leave in the refrigerator overnight. If you're short on time, you can skip this step, but we found that the advanced seasoning results in a tastier bird.
While the turkey roasts, start the sauce. Then while the turkey rests (before carving), finish the mushroom sauce.
Measure the turkey's internal temperature on the inside of the thickest part of the inner thigh, making sure the thermometer does not touch the bone.
- 1 (15- to 20-pound) whole turkey, fresh or thawed (reserve giblets and neck for sauce)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium onions
- 10 medium fresh sage leaves
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs fresh marjoram
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 medium dried bay leaves
- 7 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups coarsely chopped white mushrooms
- 2 cups oyster mushrooms, torn into thin strips
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
- Heat oven to 450°F. Remove turkey from the refrigerator and rest at room temperature for 30 to 40 minutes. Rub entire bird with olive oil and season inside and out with salt and pepper. Peel and quarter one onion. Place onion, sage, thyme, marjoram, rosemary, and bay leaves in turkey's cavity.
- Place turkey on an oiled roasting rack, set in a roasting pan, and roast for 30 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350°F. Baste turkey every 45 minutes. When the internal temperature of the turkey's thigh reaches 160°F, it's done. (Total roasting time is roughly 12 minutes per pound.) While turkey is roasting, start to make the mushroom sauce.
- Combine chicken broth and turkey giblets and neck in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, skimming occasionally to remove impurities.
- When neck meat is completely tender, about 1 hour, remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer. Set broth aside and reserve neck and giblets, if using. Remove meat from neck and coarsely chop it with giblets if you want to add them to the finished sauce.
- Transfer turkey to a cutting board and allow it to rest for at least 20 minutes, tented lightly with aluminum foil to keep warm. (Leave juices in the roasting pan.) Meanwhile, finish the sauce.
- Peel second onion and cut into small dice; reserve. Place the roasting pan with the pan drippings on two burners over medium heat. Add mushrooms and diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Sift in flour and cook, stirring constantly, until flour is fully incorporated (the sauce will pull together and start to look slightly glossy).
- Add broth mixture and simmer, stirring frequently, for 20 minutes. Add tarragon and season with salt and pepper. Carve turkey and serve with gravy.
Beverage pairing: Maysara Jamsheed Pinot Noir, Oregon. A light, fruity red is always great with turkey, but the addition of mushroom gravy in this recipe pushes that red toward Pinot Noir, which is a classic companion to mushrooms. This wonderful Oregon Pinot has pure but restrained fruitiness, bringing in earthy flavors of mushrooms and beets.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Michael Pineda allowed one run and five hits over five innings in the New York Yankees' 1-1, 10-inning tie with a Detroit Tigers split squad on Sunday.
Pineda is competing with Phil Hughes, Ivan Nova and Freddy Garcia for three rotation spots behind opening-day starter CC Sabathia and Hiroki Kuroda.
Derek Jeter hit a leadoff homer in the first for the Yankees. He also had a double.
New York's Alex Rodriguez was hit on the left side by a Brayan Villarreal pitch in the seventh and left the game. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said A-Rod was examined, is OK and is expected to play in the team's next game on Tuesday night.
Left-hander Duane Below, one of three candidates for the Tigers' fifth starter spot, gave up one run and three hits in 3 2-3 innings. Ramon Santiago had an RBI triple in the third.
