A different sort of tooth fairy came to Watertown on Friday.
Watertown Dental Care hosted Dentistry From the Heart an event to provide free dental work to the area.
Patients were seen on a first-come first-serve basis and could choose from a cleaning, filling, or extraction.
With more than 50 patients already seen by mid-afternoon, Watertown Dental Care was busy.
"I heard they started showing up at five in the morning," Dr. Darin Bach said. "We are going to do our best to see and help as many as we can."
This is the third year Watertown Dental Care has been providing this free opportunity for patients and those who come can't thank Dr. Bach and his team enough.
"We are so grateful," Lamar Whittemore said. "This means so much to the area, to the community, to Watertown. It is a blessing."
More than twenty dentists, dental hygienists, and dental students at Lake Area Tech donated their time to the cause.
"Our volunteers make this possible," Dr. Bach said. "All I do is come in and do some drilling, they deserve a ton of credit."

|Micanopy Town History
"The Town that Time Forgot"
The Town of Micanopy (mick-ah-No-pee) encompasses 1.03 square miles near the Alachua-Marion County line
between Gainesville (home of the University of Forida) and Ocala (the horse capital of the world) in rural north-
central Florida. Micanopy's 605 residents occupy 338 homes. The beautiful southern community was named for
Seminole Chief Micanopy (ca.1780-1849). The ancient oaks clothed in Spanish moss enfold Micanopy's narrow
streets and dirt lanes and provide shade and Southern ambiance for visitors and families that have lived here for
Micanopy's appeal is based on its rich, sometimes savage history. Florida's aboriginal records show that
Hernando De Soto encountered an early Timucua Indian Village here in 1539 and later, Pennsylvania botanist
William Bartram visited a Cuscowilla village on this site in 1774. Originally founded in 1821, Micanopy is the
oldest inland town in Florida having been included in a land grant made by the King of Spain in 1817 to Don
Fernando del la Maza Arrendondo of Havana and St. Augustine. Fort Defiance was built here in 1831 and soldiers
clashed with natives during the Second Seminole War (1835-1842). The first permanent white settlement in
Alachua County was established in this area. This busy trading post grew into an important railway crossroads
for the transport of citrus and sugar cane grown in the area's fertile soil. Today, excavations and preservation
initiatives pay tribute to the Town's historic past, and the search for artifacts and the location of Fort Defiance
continues in residents' yards. A local park, the Micanopy Native American Heritage Preserve, protects an Indian
Dedicated on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, Cholokka Boulevard, once an Indian trading route,
is Micanopy's main street, and the Town's primary tourist destination famous for its antique shops. Micanopy's
eclectic mix of authentic rustic storefronts lure casual shoppers, collectors, seasonal scouts from all over the
country, and Hollywood film makers (Doc Hollywood, Cross Creek, and most recently, The History Channel's,
Top Gear). Charming diners and the nationally lauded Greek revival mansion, the Herlong Mansion Historic Inn
(1845), provide Southern hospitality as a bed and breakfast. A two-story brick schoolhouse (1895) now houses
Micanopy Town Hall, the Town Commission Chamber, and the Micanopy branch of the Alachua County Library
District. Across the street, the wood-planked Thrasher Warehouse (1890) boasts the Micanopy Historical Society
Museum and the Archives showcasing the relevance of earlier times for historians, genealogists, and students.
Numerous historic homes and old cracker houses add to the picturesque warmth of "the town that time forgot."

While non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a reputation as a hard-to-treat cancer, several studies presented at ASCO may help researchers decide on the best treatment for individual patients, as well as uncovering possible new treatments for a type of NSCLC that hasn't benefited from the recent targeted therapy frontier.
On the heels of its Food and Drug Administration approval for gastric cancer, ramucirumab also has promise in NSCLC, as shown by the recently announced results of the REVEL study.
Researchers enrolled 1200 patients with NSCLC that had progressed on platinum-based chemotherapy. Typical second-line therapy for NSCLC includes docetaxel, Alimta (pemetrexed) and the targeted agent, Tarceva (erlotinib), which is reserved for patients with EGFR-mutated lung cancer. Unfortunately, these second-line treatments have limited use and median survival with them is around seven to months months.
In the study, patients who received ramucirumab with standard docetaxel lived a median of 10.5 months compared with patients receiving docetaxel alone (9.1 months). Study researchers noted that while the survival is incremental, this is the first trial that has shown a survival advantage in second-line therapy for NSCLC.
No surprising toxicities arose, but severe cases of neutropenia, fatigue, pneumonia and hypertension were reported during the study. Ramucirumab is an angiogenesis inhibitor, much like Avastin (bevacizumab), which is also approved for lung cancer, but as a first-line therapy. This class of drugs, which target VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), blocks blood vessel growth to the tumor and can carry a risk of bleeding issues.
Jyoti Patel, a lung cancer specialist at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center in Chicago, says that while the median survival was only a month and a half, patient response to the treatment was over a wide range. "There are certainly patients that benefit more when you look at the wide bell-shape curve."
Unfortunately, strategies to identify patients that would respond to VEGFR-targeted agents, such as ramucirumab have been unsuccessful. "We don't have a biomarker. It's been looked at for bevacizumab, and there are certainly efforts underway to find biomarkers, but it's not a single aberration."
In one of the largest study ever conducted in squamous cell lung cancer, necitumumab, an investigational agent that targets the EGFR mutation in certain lung cancers, did improve survival, albeit modestly.
The drug was tested in 1,092 patients with stage 4 squamous cell NSCLC. Patients who received necitumumab with standard chemotherapy had longer median survival (11.5 months compared with 9.9 months with standard chemotherapy). Progression-free survival was also slightly better with the agent. Because there are few options for this type of NSCLC, the company is expected to file necitumumab for approval by the end of the year.
"Squamous cell lung cancer, although it accounts for less than half of patients with NSCLC, we have not made significant inroads," Patel says. "Every time we see a patient with this type of lung cancer, they are so hungry for options." And while the survival advantage was not what she had hoped, she says it's something. "There are gains, but they are small."
In early-stage lung cancer, a study examined Tarceva (erlotinib) in patients with non-metastatic NSCLC after surgery. While the treatment is approved for metastatic disease, experts wondered if the drug would help prolong disease-free survival and stave off recurrence. While results show that the use of Tarceva in this setting did not extend disease-free survival, further studies in EGFR mutation-positive patients are ongoing, which may reveal benefit in this group of individuals. Another study also examined the combination of Avastin and Tarceva in metastatic NSCLC. While this study had positive results, experts questioned if the Japanese-based trial would translate into the same benefit to Western patients.RELATED POSTS
The Lung Cancer Action Summit: Tools for Change is currently accepting applications for its annual advocacy meeting, which will take place in mid-September in Pittsburgh. The deadline for applications is July 1. Travel grants are available.
In its seventh year, the Summit offers participants information on educating their community about lung cancer, fundraising, creating a local awareness and advocacy campaign and more. The Summit will also include a guided tour of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's lung cancer research labs. The program is limited to 75 participants to keep it interactive and personal.
Geared toward patients, survivors and advocates, registrants do not need experience in advocacy, just a desire to bring lung cancer awareness and action to their local communities.

After more than a decade as the National Lung Cancer Partnership, the organization rebrands itself as "Free to Breathe," taking the name of its popular nationwide events.
The cancer community has seen rebranding of several non-profits over the years, whether it's to stay relevant to its audience or provide a more recognizable face to the public. It hasn't been that long ago that the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation became Susan G. Komen for the Cure, taking the name of its long-standing and popular races. It has since become known simply as Susan G. Komen. In 2011, Gilda's Club and the Wellness Community came together as the Cancer Support Community, although you'll see that iconic red door of Gilda's, and her name, has remained in some communities.
I questioned why a lung cancer organization would drop the words "lung cancer" from its name. Did this mean it would focus primarily on fundraising for research as opposed to providing support services for patients? And how would that research funding equate into cures?
Thanks to Tracy Fischer at Free to Breathe for answering my questions.
What was the impetus for the name change from the National Lung Cancer Partnership to Free to Breathe?
Hundreds of thousands of people championing the lung cancer cause have come to know the National Lung Cancer Partnership through our Free to Breathe event series. After extensive research and analysis, we've decided to unite the efforts of our entire organization under the Free to Breathe name. Our research revealed that the name Free to Breathe resonates deeply with people whose lives have been touched by lung cancer. It inspires passion, dedication and hope. It is active, engaging, simple, and more clearly conveys who we are and what we do. Plus, it's easier to remember!
To make it clear that our organization is still 100 percent focused on lung cancer, we decided on the tagline "a Partnership for Lung Cancer Survival." This helps people who know us as "The Partnership" recognize our organization, and ensures our purpose and focus are clear to those just getting to know us.
How will Free to Breathe achieve the goal of doubling lung cancer survivorship by 2022? Is it by funding research or will Free to Breathe have a hand in directing specific research?
While our name has changed, our focus has not. We believe that every lung cancer patient deserves a cure, and we remain passionately committed to our vision of doubling lung cancer survival by 2022.
We will continue funding research in addition to helping people living with the disease understand their treatment options and benefit from innovative therapies, with a focus on molecular tumor testing and clinical trials.
While funding research is a key component of our program of work, it is not our only strategy. For example, in collaboration with several partners, we have developed a program to measure and reduce the time it takes patient to go from diagnosis to appropriate treatment (freetobreathe.org/research-grants/other-scientific-programs/access-tlc).
Free to Breathe also plays a crucial role in the administration of the Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium, a partnership of 16 cancer centers across the US working together to test patients' tumors for mutations and characteristics that can be targeted with very specific treatments. This knowledge will help doctors better understand which patients may benefit from which therapies, and help increase clinical trial enrollment which ultimately helps new treatments get to market faster. For example, the LCMC played a key role recently in patient recruitment for a study that led to a "Breakthrough Therapy Designation" from the FDA for a new therapy designed to target BRAF-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. This designation makes it easier for the drug to make its way through the FDA's testing and approval processes and get to patients faster.
Is Free to Breathe a research funding organization or lung cancer support organization? Do you work with other lung cancer organizations to promote awareness, advocacy, education and research funding?
While we don't offer direct patient support, we do offer many patient resources to help patients understand their treatment options and decide which treatment paths are right for them. Our website provides comprehensive information on the disease, diagnosis and various treatment options (freetobreathe.org/lung-cancer-info/understanding-a-diagnosis). We also offer a clinical trials matching service, as well as advocacy tools to help people recognize symptoms of the disease and raise awareness of its true impact. We empower people to get involved and bring the movement to double survival to their own communities through our nationwide event series and a community fundraising program: freetobreathe.org/get-involved
Realizing that collaboration is key to making substantial strides toward doubling survival, we work with other lung cancer organizations in many capacities. For example, this year, we're co-funding our second Impact Award with Uniting Against Lung Cancer. The largest scientific grant offered by both Free to Breathe and UALC, the Impact Award is expected to produce significant improvement for lung cancer patients within the next five years. We are also an active member of LungCAN, a collaborative group of lung cancer advocacy organizations that have come together to raise public awareness about the realities of lung cancer. You can read about other collaborations on our website: freetobreathe.org/about-us/who-we-are/collaborations.

It's been 50 years since the initial release of the Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health. This report provided a scientific basis for us to work toward reducing the public health impact of tobacco use. Since then, 30 additional Surgeon General reports on tobacco have been released.
Today's report, "The Health Consequences of Smoking--50 Years of Progress: A Report of the Surgeon General, 2014," adds new evidence that smoking is bad for us, including that it increases the risk of liver cancer, colorectal cancer, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. Secondhand smoke increases the risk of stroke. The report notes that while the evidence is suggestive, it's insufficient to conclude breast cancer risk increases with smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke. However, smoking increases the risk of cancer death. And in cancer survivors, it increases the risk of dying from other diseases.
Measures that have been put into place since that first report have more than halved smoking rates. The public's view on smoking has changed drastically. Strategies to reduce tobacco use have included smokefree laws, taxes on tobacco, smoking cessation aids and support and public awareness campaigns. Those measures continue to become more powerful and prevalent.
The report also notes the success of smoking cessation strategies, including nicotine replacement therapy, such as gums, patches, and even electronic cigarettes, which contain nicotine, but not tobacco. During the past few years, electronic cigarette use among current cigarette smokers increased from 9.8 percent to 21.2 percent. While it may be used by smokers in places that don't allow tobacco smoking, I think it's safe to say some current smokers are using the tool as a cessation device. But is it working? Opponents consider it a "gate-way drug" to tobacco use and another marketing tactic by tobacco companies to get people hooked on nictotine, but its use in cessation should be explored. Studies to examine health implications are also needed.
The report also contains a consumer booklet, "Let's Make the Next Generation Tobacco-Free," which aims to helps parents talk to their children about tobacco use.

Xalkori (crizotinib), a lung cancer drug that was approved in 2011 under the Food and Drug Administration's accelerated approval, has passed the last hurdle to regular approval. On Nov. 20, the FDA gave the ruling after a phase 3 clinical study confirmed that the drug works in patients who have metastatic cancer with a particular genetic mutation called ALK and who had progressed on platinum-based chemotherapy. Specifically, Xalkori works in lung cancers that are driven by a mutation in the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene, which occurs in about 5 percent of non-small cell lung cancers.
Accelerated approval is a conditional approval the FDA grants for drugs that show a significant improvement before a trial is completed. It can be based on survival, delayed disease progression or another endpoint that was pre-determined before the trial began. Efficacy of the drug must be verified in a later study, either a phase 3 or 4 trial before it can be given a regular approval.
Previous results, which led to the accelerated approval, were based on two single-arm studies, meaning all patients in the study received the investigational drug rather than being randomly assigned to receive the investigational drug or a standard of care. These studies showed Xalkori improved objective response rates, meaning the tumors shrunk with Xalkori in 50 percent and 61 percent of the time in the two studies, respectively.
[Xalkori approved for non-small cell lung cancer – Sept 1, 2011]
This new approval is based on results that showed the drug delayed disease progression for 7.7 months compared to chemotherapy, which only kept the cancer from growing for 3 months. Side effects included vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue and vision impairments.
Many accelerated approvals later receive regular approval. A paper examining accelerated approvals and post-marketing studies found that from Dec. 11, 1992 to July 1, 2010, the FDA granted 35 oncology products accelerated approval, which accounted for 47 new indications. Clinical benefit was later confirmed in subsequent studies for 26 of the 47 new indications. The average time between accelerated approval and regular approval was more than four years, but ranged anywhere from less than a year to more than 12 years. During that time, three indications were revoked or had a restricted distribution due to follow-up studies.
To better understand this newest approval for Xalkori, we asked the FDA a few questions:
1. What is the significance of the regular approval for Xalkori?
• Xalkori received a broad indication for the treatment of ALK-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in 2011 because this magnitude of high response rates had not been observed with standard approved treatments for lung cancer. Because of this, we didn't want to require patients to progress on chemotherapy before enabling access to a drug that appeared to provide a significant benefit over the standard of care. Xalkori's accelerated approval in 2011 was based on response rates in single-arm trials, and its regular approval is based on a post-marketing trial that provides confirmation of the clinical benefit based on a randomized study against chemotherapy.
2. What does it mean to patients?
• Xalkori's regular approval highlights an evolving paradigm of very rapid drug development, where we are able to get drugs to the patients who need them most at an accelerated pace. Practically speaking for NSCLC patients, Xalkori's regular approval gives access to a therapy that demonstrates superior progression-free survival by about five months and a reduction in the relative risk of progression by about 50 percent. The post-marketing trial provided supporting evidence of higher response rates – 65 percent of tumors shrunk versus 20 percent in those receiving chemotherapy. The randomized trial also provided additional safety data, which helped the FDA determine that its risk-benefit was acceptable.
You can read more about the regular approval at fda.gov.
You can also read more about accelerated approval and other routes to FDA approval in CURE's article "A Primer on How Faster Approval Works."
We'll be featuring advancements in lung cancer in an upcoming issue of CURE, so stay tuned for more updates.RELATED POSTS
We had an inkling it was coming, but that doesn't minimize the fact that this is big news.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is recommending high-risk individuals be screened for lung cancer. Yes, the same panel of experts that recommended we take a step back from screening mammography and the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test because the harms may outweigh the benefit for some individuals.
That's why this is big news. With the USPSTF's recommendation (currently in a draft version), it's ultimately saying that screening for lung cancer in this population will save lives--about 20,000 a year. And there have been studies to attest to this fact, namely The National Lung Screening Trial. (You can read more about the trial in "Good News to Catch a Bad Disease" from CURE, 2010.)
The last update the USPSTF made regarding lung cancer screening was in 2004, when it concluded that there was insufficient evidence to recommend for or against screening. Nearly 10 years later, the panel's recommendation is backed by a large, randomized clinical trial.
The USPSTF is recommending low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans annually for adults aged 55 to 79 years old who have no signs or symptoms of lung cancer but are at high risk because of their current or former smoking history. High risk is defined as a history of heavy smoking and either a current smoker or someone who quit within the past 15 years. The Task Force defines "heavy smoking" as essentially smoking a pack of cigarettes every day for 30 years (or two packs for 15 years, and so on). You can read about the meaning of the USPSTF's recommendation here.
The upside: Based on previous studies, 14 to 20 percent of lung cancer deaths could be averted (about one life saved for every 320 people screened). The downside: The increased number of false-positives (where the CT scan shows cancer when there is none) and radiation exposure (although minimal) from the imaging scan. This is why individuals who do not fall into the high-risk category should not be screened--because the risks (radiation, overtreatment, anxiety) may outweigh the benefits. The USPSTF has shared the full draft of its recommendations for public review. You can find it here. Public comments will be gathered until Aug. 26.
Several medical organizations have already developed guidelines recommending lung cancer screening, including the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the American Thoracic Society. The American Cancer Society issued new guidelines earlier this year that also called for high-risk individuals (aged 55 to 74 years) to be screened for lung cancer with low-dose CT scans annually.
With an official recommendation from the USPSTF, it is assumed that Medicare and private insurance companies will begin to cover these routine screenings for high-risk individuals, as noted in the Affordable Care Act.
And if you're worried about the cost of screening these individuals, consider this: A report from Health Affairs in 2012 noted that the cost of screening will be much less than the healthcare costs associated with treating advanced lung cancer. The cost per life-year saved would be less than $20,000, which is actually more cost-efficient than mammography.
Plus there is also a suggestion that undergoing lung cancer screening may help smoking cessation rates. You can't beat that.
Update: Talking with lung oncologist and CURE advisory board member, Dr. Mohammad Jahanzeb, he has high hopes for the recommendation's effect.
"[It] will no doubt result in saving thousands of lives (by my estimate, about 15,000 lives per year in the United States alone)," he wrote in an email. "It will perhaps save a lot of patients from expensive, yet non-curative treatments for advanced stage lung cancer."
Updated July 31, 2013RELATED POSTS
After having a close family member diagnosed with lung cancer, I feel that no one deserves cancer – especially one that carries the stigma of lung cancer. Which is why I was surprised that, after taking The Lung Cancer Project test, it showed I still had a negative bias against lung cancer, more so than another cancer type. Even with new treatments and potentially better screening, I had seen firsthand how dreadful the disease could be.
The Lung Cancer Project tests people's subconscious perceptions or hidden biases of breast and lung cancers. It also poses the question of whether these perceptions and biases influence treatment decisions.
The Lung Cancer Project is a research study that examines the "social psychology" of lung cancer through an Implicit Association test. The test gives the user rapid-fire tasks of associating images and words with either lung cancer or breast cancer. If you subconsciously relate a certain image or word, such as "hopeless," to lung cancer, you will probably complete the task faster than when the word is associated with breast cancer. The test takes about 10 minutes to complete, and gives you your results at the end.
The rapid tasks in the survey make it easier for any slight hesitation to be picked up, which will then be calculated into the final score at the end. Of the 1778 responses, researchers found that on average, participants responded faster when lung cancer and a negative word were associated than with breast cancer.
Joan Schiller, a lung cancer specialist at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, explained the purpose behind the study: "The idea was to quantify and improve upon what we've felt in the past ... that lung cancer patients suffer from guilt, stigma and shame. There hasn't been a way to quantify it or prove that it's been an issue," she says. "This project has led to a benchmark to measure it."
With the results of the study, which were published at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in early June (Poster #8017), Schiller and others hope to be able to measure progress in the coming years about people's perception of lung cancer. She also hopes that it will be the first step in learning why a majority of individuals diagnosed with advanced lung cancer never receive treatment. Is it due to the perception that treatment is futile? Or that they deserved the disease? Guilt?
The project is the result of a partnership with Genentech, a pharmaceutical company that manufacturers a lung cancer treatment, Project Implicit and various non-profit lung cancer organizations, including the Lung Cancer Alliance and the National Lung Cancer Partnership.
Schiller has been instrumental in promoting lung cancer awareness and research in her role of lung cancer researcher, but also as president and founder of the National Lung Cancer Partnership. "When I went into the field, there weren't a lot of people going into lung cancer for exactly the same reason – it wasn't popular because of the lack of treatments, research and funding."
Take the test and ponder your results. The full results can be viewed in the following infographic.RELATED POSTS
A great opportunity to raise awareness and advocacy for lung cancer is in our own backyard - at least for the CURE staff. I hope the distance doesn't hold you back because if you're interested in lung cancer advocacy, Dallas is the place to be Sept. 19-22.
The Annual Lung Cancer Advocacy Summit, which is in its sixth year, will feature three days of training led by grassroots advocacy experts from the National Lung Cancer Partnership. The event is limited to only 75 people, and there is an application process. (Hope you practiced your essay-writing skills during the Healer Award essay contest, because you'll need to write one for the Summit application.)
The agenda is pretty packed. Training sessions include organizing fundraising initiatives, educating your community, reducing the stigma of disease (this is a biggie for me) and contributing to the scientific research process. That last one is equally important because advocates drive awareness, which drives funds, which drives research. This can equal big gains in the lung cancer community.
Participates will also have the chance to receive a tour of UT Southwestern's lung cancer research laboratories. You can view the entire agenda here.
The deadline for applications is June 4 (download the application here). There are scholarships available for transportation, but most meals and a shared hotel room is included for all participants.
Would you be interested in attending?RELATED POSTS
As attention moves to lung cancer this month, I wanted to share the infographic below. It highlights current research into lung cancer and shows, among other points, that lung cancer is no longer one disease.
A few years ago, I was attending the annual meeting of ASCO (the professional oncology organization), which showcases studies that will change clinical practice and future research. Scientists were discussing the gains a new treatment had made in that it targets about 10 percent of non-small cell lung cancers. While some people questioned the importance of a treatment that only works in a small group of patients, the researchers were quick to note that 10 percent of patients diagnosed with lung cancer in a year is still more people affected than all those diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in a year (actually, it's more than double). It's the number one cancer killer and a stigma of blame has hindered awareness and research funding. Add to that the absolute complexity of the disease, and it makes for a tough cancer to crack.
Fortunately, research is beginning to make small gains in this hard-to-treat cancer. Advocacy organizations are increasing awareness and funding. Lung cancer survivors are raising their voices to help remove the stigma of the disease.
We have a long way to go, but I'm confident we're on the right track.

As the nation prepared for Super Bowl Sunday, many were introduced to the story of Keasha Draft, the newlywed wife of retired NFL linebacker Chris Draft.
A beautiful love story, except that Keasha was diagnosed with lung cancer last year. She was 37 years old. Five weeks after their wedding, she passed away on Dec. 27. The ESPN video is below.
"She courageously faced lung cancer, showing us all with every breath that we all need to hold onto life and love with both hands for as long as we can." --The Chris Draft Family FoundationRELATED POSTS

All of this reminds me how sucky the gbank system is currently. We really need a bit more control over it. In another online game (KOL), the gbank has a points system, every item withdrawl has a certain points assigned to it which can be changed by the guild leader. Everyone had a certain number of points to withdrawl stuff, and they get points by putting in stuff.
I dont know about you guys, but I've invested much more into my gbanks that i will ever get. It'd be nice if I invested 5k gold i could be able to withdraw a few hearts of darkness without relying on a guild officer for example.
But yeah, honestly, I just don't use the gbank any more. If people want stuff they can ask me directly. I'll donate cash and the guild can use it for repairs, etc. Cash is always valued ;)

If two/more teams reach the same amount of points after the group matches you separate them by:
A draw in the eliminating matches is followed by:
Tomáš Vaculík
Jan Jirovský
Jiří Šatoplet
A potential protest must be delivered to the JURY or to the hall secretariat in a written form 15 minutes after the match at latest. Protest fee: CZK 1,000. In case of refusing the protest the fee is not refunded.
The verdict of the JURY is final and cannot be questioned.
Every team must complete the on-line team list on the tournament web page till the start of the tournament at the latest. Only the players named on the on-line list are allowed to play. After the tournament starts the on-line team list may be modified or added only with the approval of the tournament JURY.
The match protocol must be filled in block letters and handed over to the match secretariat at latest 30 minutes before every match. The forms will be available during the team registration and it will be also possible to download them from the internet.
The maximum waiting time is 5 minutes, after that the de 'fault result will be 0:5. Any team missing two matches due to the walk over will be excluded from the tournament and all played matches annulled.
Any player can take part only in one team in a certain category during the entire tournament. Any player can participate in more categories during the tournament in case his/her age is within the age limit of the given category (only within teams of one club). Player's identification may be requested in case of misgivings. The players' passports or other ID must be for disposal for this case. The players identification can be requested also by the opponent but only till the end of the break between the 1st and 2nd period after handing over the protest fee. In case of potential unfitness the de 'fault result of this match will be 0:5.
Exemptions for over aged players are given by the organisers. The exemption is for a player maximum one year older than the age limit in question. Dispensation can be given to several players in the squad but only one player per match is allowed to play, except for G14, G16 and G18 where we allow two over aged players per match. Player with dispensation can only represent the team the dispensation is valid for. Team must clearly indicate the over-aged players in the on-line team list before the tournament starts. Girls may play in boy's teams in class B 12-16. No other dispensations will be given.
Match penalty 1 leads automatically to suspensation till the end of the respective match, match penalty 2 to suspensation in the following match and the match penalty 3 leads to the player's suspensation in the whole tournament.
In case the referees decide that one team should change shirts due to the similarity of the opponents coloures the team listed as away team in the official match schedule is obliged to change. The jersey coloures published on internet are informative only.
There will not be any opportunity to warm up on the floorball ground and warming up before every match will therefore have to take place next to the ground or outside the hall.
The number of dressing rooms in all halls is limited and therefore it has to be used by "walking through" system. After changing before the match please take all the teams belongings in bags to the ground. After the match you may be given a different dressing room. The organizers cannot be taken responsible for any loss of personal belongings during the tournament.
The organizers have the right to change the published match schedule. In such a case a notice will be given to each team leader affected by the change. The team leaders are supposed to keep the actual contact during the tournament updated in their own interest.
In each category the winner will be awarded by a cup. First three teams will be awarded by diplomas and medals /maximum 20 medals per team/. At the same time the best goal scorer, best goal-keeper and best player in each category will be decorated. The teams and individuals will be decorated immediately after the semifinal and final game of the given category.
The winning teams are entitled to free team registration to the Helsinki Floorball Cup 2014.
Every player is taking part in the tournament on his own risk. The participants are not insured by the organizer. Every team leader has to make sure that every participant is insured both off and on the field.
The organiser is not responsible for any loss, damage or injury of the participants during the tournament.
Please note that the Swedish teams should apply the SIBF for forreign play sanction at least 4 weeks prior the tournament.

Java Programming on the Mac
by Michael Brewer
A Rendezvous with Java
During WWDC this year, Apple released Java source for Rendezvous. You can now write Java applications that can call on a Rendezvous service discovery on Mac OS X, Windows, and any POSIX system using code supplied by Apple. Apple included the Java libraries in the Rendezvous for Windows Technology Preview. Everyone else needs to get the source from Apple to build the Java libraries.
In order to get the source, you need to connect to Apple's Darwin CVS server. Apple's CVS how-to was written for TCSH and needs updating, so don't bother with it. But I'll walk you through it -- don't worry. The very first thing you need to do is to agree to the Apple Public Source License (APSL) while logged in with your Apple ID. Once you have the legalese taken care of, launch Terminal and type in the following two commands:
export CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVSROOT=:ext:email@example.com:/cvs/apsl
Open a new TextEdit (or any other text editor you prefer) window and paste the following into the document:
checkout -P
update -P -d
diff -u -d -b -w
rdiff -u
cvs -z3
|Saving .cvsrc
If you're using TextEdit, make sure the document is plain text (opposed to the RTF option). Now save this file as ~/.cvsrc as you can see in the screenshot. Select the Use "." button from the resulting window. The text editor may save the file with a .txt extension -- you can find out by typing
ls -A in Terminal. If this is the case,
mv .cvsrc.txt .cvsrc will remedy it. Entering
man cvs into Terminal will provide you with all of the information you need on these commands -- I'll leave that bit of research up to you in the interest of brevity.
Finder protects you from yourself -- this time it's OK.
You're now ready to check out the source. Type
cvs co mDNSResponder into Terminal. You may get a message stating that the authenticity of "anoncvs.opensource.apple.com" can't be established and asking if you're sure you want to continue.
I can't find any documentation from Apple on what their RSA key fingerprint should be, so I had to assume I was not the victim of a man-in-the-middle attack and reply
yes to this prompt. You will only see this prompt the first time you connect. At the prompt for your password, enter your Apple ID and its passphrase separated by a colon (e.g. email@example.com:insanelygreat) as the password. If you entered the right password, your Terminal will be spammed with a listing of all of the resources being checked out and they will be copied to ~/mDNSResponder/.
|Compiling the Java libraries in Xcode.
Back in Finder, open the mDNSResponder folder and the mDNSMacOSX subfolder. Open the mDNSResponder.pbproj file -- launching Xcode. Expand the Targets section with the disclosure triangle and select the dns_sd.jar and libjdns_sd.jnilib targets, then choose Build from Xcode's Build menu. This will compile the targets to a build folder in mDNSMacOSX, open the mDNSResponder/mDNSMacOSX/build folder from Terminal, copy dns_sd.jar into /Library/Java/Extensions/, and put libjdns_sd.jnilib into /usr/lib/java/.
sudo cp dns_sd.jar /Library/Java/Extensions/
sudo cp libjdns_sd.jnilib /usr/lib/java/
Still inside Terminal, go to the ~/mDNSResponder/Clients/Java/ folder and type
javac SimpleChat.java. This will create the SimpleChat.class file along with TargetListModel.class, TargetListElem.class, SwingQueryListener.class, SwingBrowseListener.class, SimpleChat$1.class, and ListenerThread.class. Once those files are compiled, you can double-click on SimpleChat.class to run the application.
Great, it runs. But chatting by yourself is no fun. You need to run SimpleChat somewhere else before Rendezvous can swing into action. If you don't have a separate computer to test out the program, you can always use fast user-switching. Fast user-switching might actually be preferable in this case because if you're using a separate computer, you need to make sure you have the
dns_sd.jar and
libjdns_sd.jnilib files in place on it as well. Make sure you have the application in a place accessible by both users. I used my ~/Public folder. Login as another user and then navigate to the first user's Public folder and open SimpleChat.class.
Hmmm, something went wrong.
What is this error? Reading through this article and following the steps, it is sometimes easy to overlook some details. If you saw that same error, you forgot to copy all of the other class files to Public along with
SimpleChat.class. Now you either need to go back to your first computer or your first user and copy the rest of the files. When all of the files are there, SimpleChat will run and you can chat to yourself or your own willing Mr. Watson.
The first transmission.
There has got to be a better way of distributing the application, though, right? There is. Apple has wisely provided Jar Bundler. Jar Bundler will take all of your Java application's resources and bundle them up into a Macintosh application bundle. This means that the Java application will only execute in a Macintosh environment, but it's a good way to tailor a distribution of all of your cross-platform Java code into a more Mac-like experience.
Open Jar Bundler from /Developer/Applications/Java Tools/. Choose SimpleChat.class as the Main class for the bundle. Check the "Use Macintosh Menu Bar" and "Disable .app Package Navigation" checkboxes. I'm also using the Fire icon from Brandon's Chat Icons. You could let Jar Bundler use Apple's default Java application icon, but this gives SimpleChat a bit of style.
Packaging up the Java application.
Switch to the Classpath and Files tab, and add all of the other class files -- unfortunately you have to add them individually. I've found that it makes it a bit easier to find the class files when you sort the file list by Date Modified in descending order.
Change to the Properties tab and set the Version to
1.0, Identifier to
com.apple.SimpleChat, Get-Info String to SimpleChat 1.0, and Bundle Name to
SimpleChat. You're finally ready to select Create Application -- name it
SimpleChat. Now you can easily distribute SimpleChat, assuming that the Java Rendezvous libraries are already installed on the destination Mac.
Final Thoughts
Congratulations! You've just rolled Java Rendezvous libraries and built a Rendezvous enabled chat client from open source code, while learning how you can deploy this code -- usually reserved for geeks -- in an attractive package.
With Apple�s gift to the community in the form of these Java libraries, I can't wait to see some cross-platform, Rendezvous-enabled applications out there. It'll be great to be able to enjoy a wide array of zero-configuration networking with a larger pool of people than just other Mac users.

compile java programs
2005-12-07 09:55:53 werebear8 [View]
Hey Everybody
I am new to java and my Mac OS X. I am trying to compile various programs that I wrote, but I haven't got teh hang of compiling the programs with the Mac Terminal. I havent done anything as yet. What do I need to do with the java elements and what do I need to type in to compile and run my programs? Is there some guide lines that I can check out on the Web?
Every help would be greatly appreciated.
not possible to start up
2004-10-29 02:56:30 Lianne [View]
I have the code and I used javac *.java, because javac SimpleChat.java does not work (SwingBrowseListener and SwingQueryListener not found). javac *.java went well. But if I start up SimpleChat or BrowserApp (with java -cp . SimpleChat), I get the error message: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/apple/dnssd/ResolveListener. I think the ResolveListener is in the .lib file. I even put this file in the . dir. But it is not working. If I use the .jar file, it is working. But I like to change code, so I need to use java(c). What Am I doing wrong?
Can't compile SimpleChat.java
2004-10-12 23:31:27 doenermord [View]
So why might it be that I can't run SimpleChat.java through javac? Do I have something in my env not setup properly that it can't resolve the symbol for "SwingBrowseListener"?
Can't compile SimpleChat.java
2004-10-13 07:29:52 Michael Brewer | [View]
SwingBrowseListener.java is another source file that needs to be compiled. Make sure you have that and the six other Java source files in the same folder when you compile SimpleChat.java.
Can't compile SimpleChat.java
2004-10-13 07:39:43 doenermord [View]
Yeah it's odd. It must be an env issue, as I can individually compile all of the classes in the folder except for SimpleChat and BrowserApp. It's like it can't find SwingBrowseListener, SwingQueryListener, or SwingResolveListener, even when the files are sitting right there.

Launchable Jar file
2004-08-31 17:43:39 Michael Brewer | [View]
Would you rather just create a Jar file that you can share with other platforms as well as easily launch on Mac OS X just like an application package?
Instead of creating an application package with Jar Bundler, you can use the
jarcommand. But you'll lose the Mac Menu Bar and other nice Macintosh touches.
jar cvfm SimpleChat.jar SimpleChat.manifest *.class
Launchable Jar file
2004-09-04 03:44:09 VernonS [View]
The Mac Menu Bar, at least, can be addressed by setting system properties within the applicaton. No impact to the application on any platform other than the Mac, and the Menu Bar will appear as expected.

A campus-wide lockdown at Yale University in New Haven Connecticut is now partially lifted as police continue investigating a report of a gun coming to the school.
At approximately 10:17 a.m. New Haven Police have received an anonymous
phone call from a phone booth on Columbus Avenue reporting a person with
a gun on Yale's campus.
At 10:50 a.m. a text went out notifying students there were reports of "a person with a gun on Central Campus."
At 11:02 a.m. Yale University texted the campus community that there is a "confirmed report of person with a gun on/near Old Campus."
Students were under a shelter in place order campus-wide for some time, but the order is now only in effect for Old Campus and Calhoun College.
According to the Associated Press, New Haven police Officer David Hartman says an anonymous caller told them his roommate had a gun and was heading to the campus.
He says at least two people reported seeing a man with a long gun in the area but there was nothing specific about the threat. He says the call came from a pay telephone nearby.
There have been no reports of shots fired or anyone injured and no arrests have been made.

Breaking Rumor: Exelby a King?
Micheal A. Aldred | Feb 02, 2010 | Comments 1
Has Garnet Exelby been dealt to the Los Angeles Kings? It's believed Toronto has acquired a 4th round pick for the defenceman. He was pulled from the game for the entire third period, and there are reports that suggest Los Angeles has acquired him for depth going on their way to the post-season.
TSN has reported that no trade has been made as of this time.

Belize Travel Tips »
Adventuring in Belize by Amelia Thomas – Lonely Planet Author
Galloping along Central American mountain trails, accompanied only by the thrum of hooves and the occasional flash of a toucan among the trees, might just be one of the world's top ways to start your morning. But incredibly, in lovely, lush Belize, where eco-slanted adventure travel is king, the day gets even better from here.
Belize Photos »
Located deep within the Chiquibul Forest Reserve, Caracol is the largest known Maya site in Belize and one of the biggest in the Maya world. Caracol was a Classic Period urban center that spread out over 55 square miles with an estimated population of 180,000 people. Caracol's enormous central core area covered 15 square miles and was linked together by more than 20 miles of "sacbeobs" (causeways) that radiated outward from its epicenter.

CAPE CORAL, FL--Cape Coral councilman Marty McClain will stay on the city council after he says a couple of his fellow leaders went on a witch hunt to oust him.
Last week, WINK News was first to report that McClain was living outside his district for nearly six months.
The residency debate came to a head in front of the public eye.
After four years serving on the Cape Coral city council, Marty McClain now now finds himself at the center of controversy.
"My private life and personal life is not going to be on display by any members or individuals on this council," said McClain.
Last week, WINK News discovered that McClain hasn't lived in the district he serves for the past five and a half months.
While the charter does not specifically say whether or not the councilman needs to reside in his district for the entirety of his term, Councilman Leetz believes McCrail violated the city's charter.
Mayor John Sullivan proposed a special council meeting to determine what kind of investigation would be needed and who would conduct the investigation to see if their sufficient evidence to charge McCrail with misconduct. That motion was denied by the majority of the city council members.
"To get up here and be crucified by a few members of the public and a couple members up here that there is nothing they would love more than to watch that train wreck," said McClain.
The majority of the council voted against that proposal, saying it would cost too much money and time.
Council member Chris Leetz believes McClain can't just move back in to his district and make it right.
"A bank robber doesn't get to go back to the bank and say I didn't get as much as i expected to get so here is the money back," said Leetz.
McClain says his private life, should stay just that.
"It is a judge, jury and execution. It is none of their damn business. Period, the end," said McClain.

NEW YORK, NY (WTVB) - The Pistons are preparing for tonight's NBA draft. Detroit will have to wait until the second round to make its selection with the 38th overall pick. Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy has said that the team is unlikely to trade to get into the first round, but they may consider moving up if they see a player they like falling into the mid-20s. Team officials say with the 38th pick, they won't draft someone they hope can transform into a player, but will look for an athlete who has clearly identified NBA skills.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have the top pick for the second straight year after winning last month's NBA Draft Lottery. Despite just a 1.7-percent chance going in, the Cavs secured the first selection for the third time in the last four years. The Milwaukee Bucks will pick second, followed by the Philadelphia 76ers, Orlando Magic and Utah Jazz. The NBA champion San Antonio Spurs will pick last. Kansas center Joel Embiid had been projected as the likely top pick, but his draft stock may fall after recent surgery for a stress fracture in his foot. Other top prospects include Duke guard Jabari Parker and Kansas forward Andrew Wiggins.

Community Time arose from the need to facilitate intercommunity discussion and provide a time when everyone could assemble. Adding an hour-long block after chapel time on Thursday would allow faculty to hold their monthly meetings at a time other than in the evenings when conflicts are more likely to arise and students a chance to attend mid-day events aimed at furthering campus discourse.
It was great in theory, but has Community Time actually provided such a forum? And if so, does it truly serve the whole community?
A faculty task force, assembled in summer 2003, polled 650 students and found that 75 percent almost never attended Community Time events. In addition, several students interviewed for a March 20, 2004 article in the Messenger were not even aware of Community Times purpose, let alone its subsequent activities.
Before turning over their report, the task force concluded that Community Time was only serving its intended purpose for faculty and it serves those purposes only modestly.
Aside from having some extra time to do homework, chat with friends or catch a nap, students either dont take advantage of Community Time activities or are ill-informed about them. Community Time makes Thursdays almost unbearably long, pushing back co-curricular activities and causing some students undue distress because of the disruption in their normal class schedule.
Why, then, has Community Time been allowed to continue when it only marginally serves one group at St. Olaf and completely disrupts another?
We believe that increasing community conversation is a crucial element to a successful campus, and applaud the administration for striving to do so. However, Community Time is not the permanent answer it was once envisioned to be, and it continues to fail for a number of reasons.
For one, it is difficult to schedule worthwhile and engaging speakers over the Thursday lunch hour. Also, an hour is a rather short amount of time for such an activity and the inflexibility of the days schedule doesnt provide students a large enough window to work on various projects, so they end up doing nothing instead, killing time until their next class.
There may never be a time when everyone on campus can get together to discuss issues. This is not cynicism, but simple fact. Instead of striving to cram the community together for an hour or so every Thursday, our energy would be better spent keeping multiple communication channels open, giving myriad ways to discuss and debate various subjects.

|Biggo in Wonderland Heather
Knit Picks Biggo
Content: 50% Superwash Merino Wool, 50% Nylon
Weight: Bulky weight
Yardage: 110 yards
Grams: 100 gram hank
Care: Machine Wash, Tumble dry low

Crochet Gauge: 8 – 11 sc = 4''
Recommended Hook Size: K/6.5mm – M/9mm hooks

Manufacturer's Description: This super soft blend of superwash merino and nylon is plied together into a light and lofty 2-ply yarn, making Biggo the perfect choice for easy care garments and accessories. The bulky gauge will have your projects flying off your needles and hooks in no time at all! Biggo is also well suited for cozy, oversized sweaters without the time commitment of finer weight yarns. Bulky, comfy and versatile – Biggo will have you longing for chunky knits all year long.
Biggo Review
The important part first: I love it. I'm weird with bulky yarns. Some of them are just too heavy, thick, and awkward to work with. Biggo wan't any of these things to me. Yes, it's a large gauge yarn, but it was still light and lofty. Ever have the feeling with bulky yarn that you might actually be knitting with rope? (Lion Brand Thick & Quick anyone?) Biggo doesn't give you this impression at all. I agree wholeheartedly with Knit Picks description of their product. It's definitely produces a great chunky knitted fabric.
When I received my first skein of Biggo in the mail I couldn't stop hugging it. I don't know if my enthusiastic squishing of the yarn tangled up the hank, or if it was already a little tangled, but when I opened it up to put on the swift I had to work for a minute to get it straightened out to wind. It wasn't hard to do, I was just a little confused at first trying to open the hank up into a smooth loop. While winding the yarn it broke once. This can be frustrating, especially with thicker yarn since knots and woven ends are more obvious in your finished project at larger gauges.
My second skein of Biggo had absolutely no problems. No tangles and no breaks. I also didn't use it as a teddy bear before winding it up. So, will the slight tangling and break in the first skein keep me from using this yarn again? Absolutely not! I've had much more expensive yarn break on me way more times. To me the way the yarn feels and knits up outweighs any problems I had.

Knitting With Biggo
Knitting with Biggo is a little like what knitting with a cloud must be like. Maybe it's a lack of experience with bulky yarns (because there *must* be another lofty bulky yarn out there), but I've never used a yarn that was this weight and had this much loft to it.
I'm currently lusting after a cozy pullover knit from Biggo. Actually, I kind of want a sweater in every color this yarn comes in. For once a yarn line where I like more of the available colors than I don't like! That amazes me a little. Maybe it's because they're heathers and not just flat colors. At any rate, there's 12 colors in all. 3 blues (Calypso Heather, Wonderland Heather, and Sapphire Heather), brown (Reindeer Heather), a dark green (Forest Heather), pale green (Green Tea Heather), pale gray (Dove Heather), a grayish black (Asphalt Heather), 2 pinks (Dogwood Heather and Carnelian Heather), and 2 purples (Duchess Heather and Haze Heather). The color Haze is calling me particularly hard. A purple Haze sweater, how cool would that be?
If you like large gauge, quick knit projects then I'd recommend trying out this yarn. It would make great hats, mittens, scarves, afghans, pillows, sweaters, and slippers. For a single skein project try the Bum-Diddy hat, available for $2.99 from Knit Picks!
