Class Notes, Grad Notes, and Obituaries
Charles Franklin (BSF '39) of Livingston, Texas, has managed 60,000 acres of forestland since 1948.
In the converted library of his English-style cottage, Stephen Doster pored over his first novel, typing dutifully until midnight at least four nights a week. "The muse that got hold of Cervantes grabbed me by the collar and wouldn't let go until I was through," says Doster (BBA '83), who wrote Lord Baltimore after a full day of work at a Nashville insurance company. Doster's wife, Anne Mattingly Doster (ABJ '82), a tutor, was his in-house editor.
In the pattern of Don Quixote, which Doster read just before starting his novel, Lord Baltimore (John F. Blair, 2002) recounts the adventures of a roguish protagonist. The setting is the Gullah culture of south Georgia, and the time is the present. Ensworth Harding, the main character and narrator, is a rich kid who lounges at the local golf club. On his 18th birthday, his tight-lipped father drops him off at the end of the Old Coastal Highway. "I have a gift for you," he tells Ensworth. "See that open road? Your destiny lies down there. Don't let me hear a peep from you until you reach the end of this road."
Ensworth soon encounters Lord Baltimore, a Keds-wearing member of English royalty with a long beard and an affinity for cigars. "I was literally going on the trip with these guys, up Highway 17 to Savannah, wondering what was going to happen next," says Doster. "It was fun!"
Doster wasn't able to include all of his ideas in 100,000 wordsthe standard limit for a first noveland, thus, plans to write a sequel to Lord Baltimore that begins on North Campus after Ensworth's freshman year at UGA. His wife-editor Anne is among those who can't wait to find out what happens next.

Genre: YA Paranormal Romance, Young Adult
Excerpt: Yes | Book Trailer: Yes

Some things are permanent.
And they cannot be changed back.
Joy Malone learns this the night she sees a stranger with all-black eyes across a crowded room—right before the mystery boy tries to cut out her eye. Instead, the wound accidentally marks her as property of Indelible Ink, and this dangerous mistake thrusts Joy into an incomprehensible world—a world of monsters at the window, glowing girls on the doorstep, and a life that will never be the same.
Now, Joy must pretend to be Ink's chosen one—his helper, his love, his something for the foreseeable future…and failure to be convincing means a painful death for them both. Swept into a world of monsters, illusion, immortal honor and revenge, Joy discovers that sometimes, there are no mistakes.
Somewhere between reality and myth lies…
INDELIBLE starts off with a vivid flourish, claiming old fairy anew. I was quickly enthralled with the story, both for Joy and Ink and their fragile association, and the way Metcalf fearlessly began remaking all of magic and myth and folk into something modern, without losing any of their original wildness and danger.
In addition to a fantastic mythology of fairy, Metcalf has written an enjoyable romance. Trying to establish a love affair between a teenager and an immortal being can be problematic, to say the least. INDELIBLE does a wonderful job not glossing over the growing pains. Panic, intrigue, and Ink's undeniably alien nature all get as much page time as any nascent romance. But underneath that fey nature is an undeniable spark, and as Joy and Ink get to know each other better their attraction takes on a greater emotional weight. The scenes where Ink traces Joy's ear, learns her hands, are both romantic and magical.
But as much as I adored Ink's fragile humanity, by the last third of the story INDELIBLE's initial momentum began to falter under politics and faction, power structures and committees that I never quite grasped. While I loved Ink and Inq, and the riveting characters that shared their world, the plot itself never made enough sense to create high stakes. There was a villain, there was a threat, there were battles… but all the build up and plotting never quite clicked.
INDELIBLE is a vivid, trippy glimpse behind the veil into fairy, and fans of Holly Black and Melissa Marr will enjoy this world. Though the plot got away from me, the main characters were riveting to the end.

I tried to read one book by this author before and really didn't like the story and had to quit half way through. I guess ever since then I just don't want to give any of her books a chance. I'm glad the characters were good but it is too bad that the story fell apart near the end.
Thanks for the great review!
This is my first Dawn Metcalf book, so I can't compare to prior work. I really liked Ink and Joy and was well on my way to 4 bats before things kind of unraveled at the end.
I really want to read this book! The cover is just so lovely.
Too bad the story is not as great as it sounds. Better luck next time

Adult Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment (Professional) (cont.)
Aggressive, Stage I and Contiguous Stage II Adult Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Note: Some citations in the text of this section are followed by a level of evidence. The PDQ editorial boards use a formal ranking system to help the reader judge the strength of evidence linked to the reported results of a therapeutic strategy. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Levels of Evidence for more information.)
Patients with stage I or contiguous stage II diffuse large B-cell lymphoma are candidates for combination chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy. Four prospective randomized trials have evaluated the comparison of CHOP (cyclophosphamide + doxorubicin + vincristine + prednisone) or more intensive CHOP-based chemotherapy alone versus combined modality therapy with CHOP and involved-field radiation therapy (IF-XRT).[1,2,3,4,5]
With 7 years' median follow-up, 576 patients older than 60 years with early-stage disease received four cycles of CHOP with or without IF-XRT; there was no difference in 5-year event-free survival (EFS) (61% vs. 64%, P = .5) or overall survival (OS) (72% vs. 68%, P = .6).[1][Level of evidence: 1iiA] A randomized trial of 401 patients comparing eight cycles of CHOP to three cycles of CHOP with IF-XRT was initially reported as having an OS advantage for the combined modality arm at 5 years, [2] but a re-evaluation for OS at 9 years showed no difference in either arm of the study.[3][Level of evidence: 1iiA] A randomized study (EST-1484) of 210 patients who attained a radiologic complete remission after eight cycles of CHOP compared IF-XRT with no further therapy; there was no difference in OS at 10 years (68% vs. 65%, P = .24).[4][Level of evidence: 1iiA]
A randomized trial of 631 patients younger than 60 years compared more intensive CHOP-based chemotherapy versus three cycles of CHOP with IF-XRT; with 4 years' median follow-up, the intensive chemotherapy was superior in 5-year EFS (82% vs. 74%, P > .001) and 5-year OS (90% vs. 81%, P = .001).[5][Level of evidence: 1iiA]
The confirmation of efficacy for rituximab in advanced-stage disease as evidenced in SWOG-S0014, for example, has suggested the use of R-CHOP (rituximab + CHOP) with or without radiation therapy but only on the basis of historical comparison to prior studies.[6][Level of evidence: 3iiiDiii] A preliminary study using CHOP with or without etoposide for patients older than 60 years suggested improvement in EFS and OS for treatment delivered every 2 weeks versus the standard 3-week regimen.[7]
A randomized study (DSHNHL-1999-1A) of 1,222 patients older than 60 years compared R-CHOP given every 2 weeks for six or eight cycles to CHOP given every 2 weeks for six or eight cycles.[8] With a median follow-up of 35 months, the EFS favored R-CHOP given every 2 weeks for six or eight cycles (EFS, relative risk [RR] = 0.5 [0.40–0.65], P < .001). The OS favored R-CHOP for only six cycles because of increased toxicity in the eight-cycle arm (RR of death = 0.63 [0.46–0.85], P = .003).[8][Level of evidence: 1iiA] There has been no comparison to standard R-CHOP or CHOP given every 3 weeks.
Standard treatment options:
There are no comparative studies to establish an optimal number of chemotherapy cycles for patients with early stage disease.
Treatment options under clinical evaluation:
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with aggressive, stage I adult non-Hodgkin lymphoma and aggressive, contiguous stage II adult non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.

Name: Evelyn
Origin and Meaning of the Name Evelyn
Miscellaneous Info for Evelyn
Used in:English speaking countries
Additional Info:Of German roots, Evelyn is an English variant of Aveline. Aveline is itself related to Ava, Medieval short form of Germanic names beginning with the element "avi", of unknown meaning, possibly "desired".
It can also be considered a cognate of Eve and Lyn - then of Hebrew origin. There is a possible relation with the Gaelic 'eiblin' ('pleasant') as well.
The medieval name seems to have been used only by women, but it gave rise to a surname that was turned into a masculine given name as early as the 17th century. Evelyn is today used primarily by women, but it was common enough as a boys' name just a generation ago.
An example of it as a surname is the gardener and diarist John Evelyn. Novelist Evelyn Waugh is a famous male bearer, and Pre-Raphaelite painter Evelyn De Morgan is a female bearer.
In the 20th century, Evelyn was most popular in the 1910s and 20s. Recently it has been resurging.

Oh dear...

It's Never Too Soon to find your Past!
Looking for my Irish ancestors has been gratifying and an enormous challenge. With last names of Kelly, McNamara and Noonan it has been looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack. I flew into Dublin, with the intent to visit the National Library of Ireland during my down time. I had done my research beforehand using Harris County Public Library's Database, Ancestry.com. (Ancestry.com is available for users who are using a library computer; there is no remote access to this resource.)
After unloading my coat, backpack and everything else but my laptop into a locker, I proceeded into the consultation room with many other American's looking for their relatives. The genealogist was surprised that I knew which County my Great Grandparents were born. She asked me how I had confirmed that Patrick was born in Cavan and I told her about a great resource, New York Emigrant Savings Bank, 1850-1883. During September 1867 Patrick opened a bank account with his current address, occupation, birth year, where he was born and his journey to the United States. By then he was married to my great grandmother and her name is also listed. The Genealogist became very helpful.
We used a book by John Grenham ; Tracing Your Irish Ancestors: The Complete Guide and went to The County Cavan section. We found what Roman Catholic records had survived and which ones had perished. I am now in the process of writing the parish churches and with a bit of the "Luck of the Irish" I'll hear from them soon.
