The Latest On Breast Cancer Stem Cells
So what are breast cancer stem cells?
They are a specific group of stem cells, which are undifferentiated biological cells capable of creating more cells of the same type, ad infinitum, and from which certain other kinds of cells arise by differentiation.
Breast cancer stem cells were first discovered in 2003 by scientists at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. UM scientists found that just a few breast cancer stem cells were responsible for the growth and spread of breast cancer. They also found that unless the cancer stem cells could be destroyed, a tumor would be more likely to return and spread malignant cells to other parts of the body, a process called metastasis.
Conventional Therapies For Advanced Breast Cancer Targets The Wrong Cells
Because cancer stem cells are resistant to traditional chemotherapy and radiation, new treatments are needed that can be targeted directly at these stem cells, thus the ongoing research. UM scientists believe that conventional therapies for advanced breast cancer have limited effectiveness because they are targeting the wrong cells. These therapies were designed to shrink cancers by killing all the rapidly growing cells in a tumor. The scientists at UM believe that therapies could be more effective and cause fewer side effects if they were aimed specifically at cancer stem cells. Here is a short 36-second video with Dr Max Wicha from UM explaining a little about breast cancer stem cells. There are other, longer videos available on You Tube to view should you wish to know more.
In this study: Cancer Stem Cell Markers Are Enriched In Normal Tissue Adjacent To Triple Negative Breast Cancer And Inversely Correlated With DNA Repair Deficiency, published in September 2013, researchers discovered that women with triple-negative breast cancer have more stem cells present in their normal breast tissue than women with other types of cancer. The scientists felt that "the presence of stem cells may be an important predictive marker for the risk of developing triple-negative breast cancer." They stated further studies are needed to determine a causal relationship between stem cells and the breast cancer incidence.
Additionally, the study that I linked to above noted that a small percentage of women with triple-negative breast cancer also had faulty DNA-repair pathways, and put that figure at about one in 9 of women with TNBC.
So What Do We Do With This Information?
First of all, don't worry about it. I have only written about this because a few of my readers have asked about breast cancer stem cells.
If you follow the advice I give in my Diet and Cancer page, you will be well-protected. Specifically, see my entries about breast cancer stem cells in "broccoli" and "turmeric". Keep a strong immune system (for more advice about that see my page 8 Ways To Build A Super Strong Immune System), keep your stress levels down (Yes, take that vacation! You need it!) and follow my advice in my newsletters and e-books. If you are doing all these things, you are miles ahead.

South Korean Study on MSM Indicates Potent Anti-Breast Cancer Activity
Recently one of my newsletter subscribers asked me about MSM – or methylsulfonylmethane – which is an organic, sulfur-containing, natural compound found in many foods. She was wondering whether it had any value as an anti-breast cancer supplement and while I hadn't heard of it specifically being used for breast cancer, I knew it had many healing properties so I did some digging and found a relatively new (April 2012) research study done in South Korea which showed some surprising and inspiring results.
The study, Methylsulfonylmethane Suppresses Breast Cancer Growth by Down-Regulating STAT3 and STAT5b Pathways appears on the Public Library of Science website and its authors are Lim E, Hong D, Park J, Joung Y, Darvin P, Kim S, Na Y, Hwang T, Ye S, Moon E, Cho B, Do Park K, Lee H, Park T, Yang Y (2012).
If you don't wish to read the entire study, make sure you read the Abstract (in the first paragraph – link above). MSM decreased the viability of ALL types of breast cancer, including triple negative breast cancer cells, which is (according to some oncologists) a difficult-to-treat form of breast cancer because it does not respond to hormonal therapies. This does not mean that it can't be treated, however!
MSM Shown To Decrease Viability of Human Breast Cancer Cells
The scientists involved in the study were able to demonstrate that MSM substantially decreased the viability of human breast cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner – the higher the dose, the more benefits – and it did this in just 30 days.
So why is there no celebrating being done via news articles and press releases? Probably because MSM is easily attainable and no drug companies are going to benefit hugely from this information. It's left up to health advocates to unbury the information and share it with you.
Sulfur's Importance In The Body
Sulfur is the most abundant mineral in the human body, it comprises more than one quarter of a person's body weight, but interestingly, it is not stored in the body. You have to get it through your diet.
Sulfur belongs in the same chemical family as oxygen, it is a powerful antioxidant and detoxifier, it binds and assists in the removal of heavy metals from the body, among many other important functions. Half of the sulfur in your body is found in skin, muscles, and bones and it is a super-important component of joint cartilage and keratin (found in hair and skin).
Sulfur is found in raw milk (not pasteurized milk), meat, fish, fruits, vegetables (the best source being garlic and onions) and grains. People who eat a lot of processed foods do not have sufficient quantities of sulfur in their diet – processed foods are notoriously deficient. So you can understand that a deficiency of sulfur could lead to a range of degenerative diseases. Will you get enough MSM through the diet to help treat breast cancer? Most likely not.
Daily dosing for breast cancer, approximated from the study, could be from 2,000 mg to 10,000 mg, but human studies are needed to determine optimal dosing.
MSM is known to have anti-inflammatory properties and if you know anything about cancer, you know that inflammation is involved in the process. MSM is easily obtainable in health food stores. If you aren't sure whether or not you need it, or how much to take, please see a naturopath.

It is my honor and my goal to help you through this so that you emerge from breast cancer feeling better than before, thriving!
I've been reading a lot lately about a new class of drugs called PARP inhibitors, particularly from the City of Hope, one of the cancer centers I like to follow because they are doing such interesting research on treatments for cancer, both pharmaceutical and natural.
PARP Inhibitors – What They Are
Here is the whole skinny (well, at least what I was able to find and make sense of) on PARP Inhibitors.
PARP stands for "poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase". PARP is an enzyme that researchers say is over-expressed in a variety of cancers, and its expression has been associated with overall prognosis in cancer, especially breast cancer.
PARP is important for repairing single-strand breaks in DNA, termed "nicks". If the nicks in the DNA are not repaired, then when the cells divide and replicate themselves the new cells can cause double-strand breaks to form.
Drugs which inhibit PARP1 cause multiple double-strand breaks to form. The reason that this is a good thing is because in tumors with BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2 mutations, the double-strand breaks cannot be efficiently repaired and that leads to the death of those cells. Research is showing that cancer cells that are low in oxygen (which is the case in fast growing tumors) are sensitive to PARP inhibitors.
I wondered what that meant for normal cells – how they would be affected. The research shows, however, that normal cells (which don't duplicate their DNA as often as cancer cells) still have repair mechanisms operating and that allows them to survive the PARP inhibition.
PARP Inhibitors and Chemotherapy
Research is showing that by adding a PARP inhibitor to chemotherapy, the chances that the cancer cells will become resistant to the chemotherapy decrease. When cancer cells become resistant to chemotherapy, the chemotherapy is no longer able to fight the cancer cells. By lowering the chances of resistance, a PARP inhibitor may increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy.
City of Hope Research
In September 2012, The City of Hope released an article titled Triple Negative Breast Cancer Treatment Gets a Boost. The article explains a little about PARP inhibitors and states "Scientists think the drugs may work especially well in cancers with BRCA mutations or triple negative breast cancers". Triple negative breast cancer accounts for only 14-20% of breast cancers and is not driven by hormones like the bulk of breast tumors are.
Dr George Somlo, a researcher at the City of Hope in Duarte, CA, felt that this new class of drugs showed a lot of promise "because the drugs seem to be a little easier on healthy tissue, which helps reduce side effects, and they may make chemotherapy more effective".
Good news!

Searching around for hopeful things for breast cancer patients is one of my favorite things to do (call me crazy but I like to help) and today I found some interesting research from City of Hope, a cancer center in Duarte, California.
The research demonstrated that blueberries have the ability to control tumor growth, decrease metastasis and induce cell death in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC)
A Quick Explanation of Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Triple negative breast cancer is a particular subtype of breast cancer that lacks estrogen, progesterone and human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) receptors and because most breast cancer tumors do have at least one of these receptors, doctors are able to target them with specific therapies.
I have spoken to quite a few patients whose tumors were triple negative and many were more than a little anxious over their diagnosis particularly because there seems to be a lot of really negative information on the Internet about triple negative breast cancer – that it accounts for only about 15% of breast cancer and that it has a poorer prognosis compared to other subtypes with the receptors present. Thus, whenever I do find some positive research about TNBC, I like to share it.
Blueberries Are a Triple Threat
Dr Shiuan Chen, director of City of Hope's Division of Tumor Cell Biology said "blueberries help fight triple-negative breast cancers by suppressing pathways critical to tumor development and migration."
The research has not been carried out on real, live people yet (they are still waiting for the results of that study) but they have used it on TNBC cell cultures and also on laboratory animals with great results. The researchers discovered that the group that received the blueberries had a tumor weight that was 70% lighter, exhibited significantly lower proliferation rates, and higher apoptosis activity (apoptosis means programmed cell death) than the group not receiving the blueberries. So they considered that to be a triple threat against TNBC. I found a YouTube video where they discuss their findings – click here to view it.
Researchers estimated that in humans, a person weighing 130 lbs would need 4 oz daily to achieve the good effects that the studies exhibited.
Got TNBC? Get those blueberries in ya!

Triple Negative Breast Cancer – What It Means
When a cancerous tumor is removed from a breast, a sample (biopsy) of the tumor is taken and a pathologist examines its characteristics to determine the status of three breast cancer specific markers – the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and a form of the epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2).
ER and PR are proteins that bind the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, respectively. These hormones are produced by the ovaries and play a major role in stimulating cell division in breast cells.
Estrogen and progesterone bind to their respective receptors on the surface of cells and stimulate cell division. Breast tumor cells with a positive (+) hormone receptor status have high levels of ER and PR. These types of breast cancer are typically treated with hormone therapy.
HER2 is a receptor protein located on the surface of breast cells. This protein binds growth factors and stimulates cell growth and division. Breast tumor cells with a positive (+) HER2 status have high levels of HER2 on their surface. These types of breast cancer can be treated with a special type of targeted therapy.
The Perceived Threat
Triple negative breast tumors do not have high levels of any of ER, PR or HER2 receptors. In theory triple negative tumors should have a better prognosis than tumors expressing ER, PR, or HER2, because they are not receiving the growth signals provided by these proteins.
This doesn't seem to be the case, however. Oncologists know precisely how to treat breast cancers expressing ER+, PR+, or HER2+ — they do it with drugs such as Herceptin, Tamoxifen and Arimidex that inhibit the function of the receptors.
But triple negative breast cancer is unresponsive to these targeted treatments. Studies have shown that triple negative tumor cells may be more aggressive than other breast cancer subtypes, but the reasons for this are unknown. About 10-20% of breast cancers are found to be triple-negative. For doctors and researchers, there is intense interest in finding new medications that can treat this kind of breast cancer.
Depending on the confidence and "bedside manner" of her doctor, patients who are categorized as triple negative can tend to worry quite a bit more than those who aren't – there is a lot of negative information on the Internet about the lack of treatment options and the "aggressive nature of the tumor cells making triple negative breast cancer more difficult to treat". Please keep reading!
The website breastcancer.org (an excellent source of breast cancer information) has an article that is worth reading: "Treatment for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer".
New research has come to light from Cancer Research UK that breast cancer actually falls into TEN different categories, rather than the subgroups discussed above (estrogen and progesterone receptor positive or negative, and either HER2 positive or negative). One day soon we will be able to offer each woman an individualized therapy, depending on the type of breast cancer she has.
Forget the "Poor Prognosis" Terminology
My main purpose in writing this article is to calm the fears and concerns of women who are found to be triple negative. This is not a death sentence! You might have to fight a little harder, be a little more proactive. You might have to arm yourself with a little more knowledge (something I always recommend anyway!) but this is definitely survivable.
The first thing I would suggest you do (besides attending all of the medical appointments suggested for you) is to expand your mind and read "The Biology of Belief" by Dr Bruce Lipton. Dr Lipton is a cell biologist who has closely examined how our beliefs control our DNA. This is a powerful, life-changing book.
Here's an article by Dr Joseph Mercola on the subject of how your emotions and beliefs regulate your genes.
Then you could read "You Can Conquer Cancer" by Dr Ian Gawler, an Australian veterinarian who healed himself from a potentially lethal form of cancer using nutrition, meditation and various other natural forms of therapy.
Shakespeare's Hamlet had it right when he said, "…there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
Then realize that there are some positives with your diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer:
1. You do not have to take hormone therapy drugs that have a whole host of unpleasant side effects.
2. Research shows that triple-negative tumors respond better to chemotherapy than tumors that are estrogen and progesterone positive. Chemo works better on you!
3. If you remain disease-free for four or more years the chances are your cancer will NEVER return.
4. Research for this type of breast cancer has been given a very high priority – there are study results being published practically weekly.

Record last season: 11-21 (Conf: 2-16)
Postseason: None
Coach: Oliver Purnell
Coach's record at school: 30-64
Offensive efficiency: 103.7 (113th in the country)
Defensive efficiency: 104.9 (253rd in the country)
Returnees: Brandon Young (16.7 PPG, 3.3 RPG), Cleveland Melvin (16.6 PPG, 6.8 RPG), Jamee Crockett (8.7 PPG, 3.6 RPG), Charles McKinney (5.3 PPG, 2.5 RPG), Durrell McDonald (2.9 PPG)
Notable losses: Worrel Clahar (7.3 PPG, 3.5 RPG), Donnavan Kirk (6.2 PPG, 3.9 RPG), Moses Morgan (5.9 PPG, 2.3 RPG)
Newcomers: Sandi Marcius, Billy Garrett, Jr., DeJuan Marrero, R.J. Curington, Tommy Hamilton, Jr., Forrest Robinson, Greg Sequele
Projected lineup:
G: Brandon Young
G: Jamee Crockett
G: Charles McKinney
F: Cleveland Melvin
F: Sandi Marcius
DePaul plays as one of the fastest teams in the country (4th highest tempo last year), but that speed has resulted in an inefficient offense and defense. With their in-your-face press, they stole the ball at an above average rate (11.5% of opponents' possessions), but when they weren't forcing turnovers, opponents were scoring at will (as their 253rd adjusted defensive rating shows). And on offense, they had trouble putting the ball in the basket (ranked 231st if effective field goal % at 47.4), while also turning it over almost as much as they took it away (turnovers on 11.2% of possessions).
The Blue Demons have one of the better one-two scoring punches in the league in Young and Melvin, but help is needed. Crockett and McKinney have shown flashes, but they need to be more consistent. Newcomers Garrett Jr. and Curington will also contribute, but as freshmen they will be difficult to depend on regularly. And a better low post presence would help open things up (along with rebounding which was another significant weakness of last year's squad).
Purnell welcomes three players that are 6-foot-10 (Hamilton Jr., Robinson and Marcius), and one player that is 6-foot-9 (Sequele). If one, or preferably two, of these guys can give the team significant effective minutes, it could turn things around for DePaul. Melvin would be able to roam more freely and the guards would be able to get to the rim easier. And if the defense can get a couple stops here and there without allowing as many offensive rebounds, they might find themselves in more ball games.
It appears the pieces are there for more wins (even though they only return five players from last year's team), but the fact they they've only won six conference games in the last three seasons still lingers. Purnell has been awful in his three years at DePaul, winning 7, 12 and 11 games, and may have to rethink his team's strategy. Playing fast and scoring a bunch of points is good, but is worthless when you're yielding even more on the defensive end and wearing your team down in the process. Melvin and Young are a great foundation, and maybe this is the year that Purnell has the correct pieces around those two to make some noise. But until we see it, it's rather difficult to predict anything other than another last place finish in the Big East.
Projected Big East finish: 10th

Topics: Health Costs, Medicaid, Marketplace, Politics, Health Reform, States, Uninsured
Sep 24, 2009
State officials continue to worry about additional costs that would stem from a Medicaid expansion. Meanwhile, Montana unveils a plan to expand health insurance for children and Iowa Republicans are touting their own alternative to a federal health care overhaul. "Assurances from the U.S. Congress that states will not be saddled with extra costs from a nationwide healthcare reform plan have done little to relieve the nervousness rippling through state legislatures and governors' offices," Reuters reports. In a letter to the Senate Finance Committee, The National Conference of State Legislatures "demanded that any type of [Medicaid] expansion be reimbursed 100 percent by the U.S. government." States are also "worried that the plan will require all Americans to have insurance.There are 6 million Americans who are currently eligible for Medicaid but are not enrolled, according to Vermont Governor Jim Douglas. They would likely sign up for Medicaid if that requirement becomes law, also stretching states' budgets." The Congressional Budget Office has said that by 2019 the health care plan would add 11 million people to Medicaid enrollment (Lambert, 9/23).
Montana: The Associated Press/Great Falls Tribune reports that "[s]tate officials unveiled a plan Wednesday to quickly and dramatically expand government health insurance to children following the Oct. 1 implementation of the voter-approved Healthy Montana Kids program. The initiative was approved by a large margin last November. It combines the previously separate Children's Health Insurance Program and Medicaid for children, while significantly simplifying the application and administration process. In total, the two programs currently serve about 70,000 kids. The Department of Public Health and Human Services estimates another 30,000 could be added under the new program for $112 million over the next two years. Of that, about a fifth is paid for by the state and the rest comes from federal programs" (Gouras, 9/24). Iowa: Iowa Public Radio reports that state "Republicans are traveling the state today offer an alternative the federal healthcare reform plan." Their plan "would provide low-cost catastrophic health plans for uninsured people under 30 — which (they say) includes half the uninsured in Iowa. They would also focus on affordability, including medical malpractice and tort reform, and would expand the health insurance tax deductibility to individuals and all small businesses" (Danielson, 9/23).

I Wear Stockings Every Day
And I do mean every day. I'm just a gal who loves to wear stockings and hold ups. I'm only 5' tall so tights dont tend to flatter my short stature the way nylons do.
Mandi aka The Stockings Lady.
I love my stockings! I've worn vintage fully fashioned stockings daily since I first started dating my fiancee. He's a very old fashioned guy who insisted I always wear skirts and dresses, and of course, hosiery. I discovered my love of vintage fashion and dress in full vintage everyday, including all my underthings. I wear a girdle and stockings everyday without exception and he loves my vintage style. Stockings and proper foundation garments turn an everyday girl into a lady.
I have the other problem as I am tall so I find stockings far better than tights, so I wear hold ups during the week and stockings and suspenders at the weekends.
Great to see a woman who likes stockings, they give legs the sexy touch that drives most men nuts.
I couldn't live without them.
Mandi, stockings are the "icing on the cake" to flatter a lovely outfit - a lovely combination of sexy and classy! And I note that you state stockings, not hose - and stockings are SO much sexier than pantyhose, and also cooler and more comfortable (according to my wife!)
Extremely sexy Mandi, I always prefer a lady in stockings but only with suspenders for me. Looks much sexier than hold ups. X
Your very sexy Mandi.........
yes i am comfortable with being corseted, i have been since i married 20yrs ago and started wearing corsetry then at his request, my mum brought my girdles and made me wear them all the time so i was used to being told what underwear to wear, at first i brought my own, but now that i don't work anymore he picks and buys all, as he said mine was'nt firm enough or heavy duty enough to satisfy him, also all stockings must be seamed and heeled.
that's adorable, LLIL and Stockings, but are you comfortable wearing them?
I wear stockings everyday as well, i dont own tights/pantyhose, i dont wear holdups as i find them uncomfortable, i wear fashioned stockings and attache them to my girdles or corset which i also wear 7day a week non fail, that what my husband wants me to wear so thats what i wear, i gave up work to be kept at home so i wear what i'm told.
Love to see painted toes in hose wearing strappy heels. Especially on a petite fr<x>ame!
Mandi, you know how to make this man's life so much brighter. Stockings are a real treat to my eyes. Love to get in touch.

Nice photo Mandi, you sound like a true feminine lady

Very comfortable and good looking - all in all fabulous shoes. Excellent service from Schuh customer service, thank you.
- Carol Timms
Love the shoes unfortunately don't fit and cannot get my size either on line or in my area.
- Aileen Galbraith
I got these sandals a few weeks ago. Great fit, good for wide feet. Stylish and go with everything, fast delivery even with it being free. The only downfall would be the blisters they have given me. The tops of my feet are blistered , however i'm sure with more wear and tear my feet will get used to the criss cross of the sandal.

I give Nicki Minaj props for being a top selling artist, and not being afraid to claim that title. But that's pretty much where my respect ends.

The recession and the market crash haven't just decimated retirement savings. They've also toppled many families' college savings plans. And much like your investment accounts and home equity, college endowments have shrunk in the past year, pinching the ability of some schools to offer grants and scholarships. Meanwhile, private student loans are harder to get—the dollar amount of loans issued last year dropped about 30 percent as banks raised lending standards—and tuition costs continue to rise faster than inflation. "The landscape has gotten a lot more complicated," says Mark Kantrowitz of FinAid.org, a student-aid Web site. … Back to Article

#1 -- Although my questions are rhetorical, I think there´s much more to this issue.For example, if you check the President´s Daily Schedule on any given day, you´ll find that it isn´t usually a heavy one. It doesn´t appear to start much before 9:30am-100am, when/if he gets the Presidential Daily Brief… I say if he gets it because it isn´t every day. Usually it´s not on the schedule before 9:45am-100am. Previous Presidents, e.g., George W. Bush, got the briefing by 70am every day, and not later than 7:30am, even when they were out of town. You can be sure that GWB never missed it after 9/11. 0bama has frequently missed the PDB, even during crises, if the schedule is accurate. So does 0bama just get up late? If so, why? Is he engaging in activities that must be kept from the public? Valerie Jarrett appears to know everything 0bama does, since he is apparently closer to her than he is to his own wife.

FTA: Cabinet members have little influence. Decisions are made by White House staffers, many from the Center for American Progress, who are the ones running the unaccountable permanent campaign...Obama skips security briefings...The real briefing will come from or through Jarrett and it will be massaged into the talking points that communicate only what she wants them to.OP: Obama is merely the mouthpiece or the Manchurian candidate who is controlled by Soros who controls Jarrett. This is one of the most disturbing articles I have read concerning the complete relinquishment of power by an American president to an individual not elected by the people. What do you call this insanity?? Treason? Does she have the codes to the nuclear football?? Of course I can´t think of anyone who would stand up to this. If we had a responsible media they would be screaming at the top of their lungs. Need I ask the usual question if this was a Republican president?? No wonder things are going to hell in a handbasket all over the world and in our country.

If the truth ever comes out about this administration and its dealings, it is going to curl your hair. So many radicals pushing un-American agendas and so embedded in the day to day workings of the government that it will take decades to ferret them all out. Assuming the will to do so is even there. I don´t believe we know just how close this country is to being lost.

ValJar is running the country into the ground while Zippy sits in his den in sweatpants watching ESPN drinking and smoking only God knows what.She is responsible for every corrupt act in this Administration, starting with Fast and Furious through the IRS and Obamacare.

The problem is that the country elected this stoner to the presidency and he can run his administration as he sees fit. No one envisioned such a loser making it to the presidency and there is nothing in place to challenge effectively abdicating your presidency to someone else.As to what he does with his time, he is a stoner. And being the president, who do you think is going to do anything about it? Holder or anyone else at "Justice"? Get real.

The only way it is possible for Jarrett to be the power behind Obama is the complacency or I would say more correctly the complicity of the media. If the media were to go after Obama like they did Bush, Obama´s weaknesses would be in full view because Jarrett could not hide them. Without Jarrett, Obama would just be a blithering idiot.

The Bureau of Hearings and Appeals (BHA) is the Department of Public Welfare (DPW) entity charged with conducting Administrative hearings and timely adjudicating appeals filed in accordance with state and federal regulations. BHA's jurisdiction is vast. It covers nearly 280 different areas, including the denial, suspension, termination, or reduction of any DPW-issued benefit (cash assistance; Medical Assistance; Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, formerly known as Food Stamps; social services; durable equipment; etc.).
BHA is also responsible for rendering legally sound adjudications for disputes regarding child abuse expunction, day care licensure, medical assistance provider enrollment, medical provider audit findings, injured DPW employees (Act 534 benefits), Department of Aging actions, Office of Inspector General Administrative Disqualification Hearings, and nursing home intervention requests, among numerous other issues.
The Bureau of Hearings and Appeals has the authority delegated by the Secretary of Public Welfare to hear and adjudicate over 280 jurisdictional issues for the Department of Public Welfare. The Bureau is also designated to hear and adjudicate issues for the Department of Aging under an interagency agreement. The issues under Bureau of Hearings and Appeals jurisdiction include, but are not limited to, the following:
All hearings regarding recipient related appeals are conducted in accordance with the regulations found at Title 55 Pa. Code, Chapter 275 (and 6 Pa. Code, Chapter 3 for Department of Aging appeals). Recipient claims should be filed with the program office. Hearings for non-recipient related appeals are conducted in accordance with Title 1 Pa. Code Chapters 31, 33 and 35, and Medical Provider appeals are conducted under Title 55 Pa. Code Chapter 41.

Just when you think Brammo has taken a breather on their marketing and game changing developments in powersports they decide team up with a master of motion picture martial arts. Jackie Chan apparently co-founded JCAM Advanced Mobility Company Ltd., the Hong Kong distributor of Segway for South Korea, China PRC, Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines, and Indonesia. Now JCAM are adding Brammo electric motorcycles to their distribution in Hong Kong and Singapore. More after the break…
Zero Motorcycles continues its sales push with an announcement about its entrance into the Asian market by partnering with Singapore-based AMPLE World. AMPLE will distribute Zero's product line through-out Asia, starting with the Zero X and Zero MX, and later in 2010 taking orders for the Zero S and Zero DS.
There's a large stigma around China and the motorcycle industry, but Ducati isn't one to let some misconceptions get in the way of their bottomline. With China rapidly becoming one of the largest motorcycle markets in the world, Ducati has its eyes set on establishing itself as the premium brand of choice for uppity Chinese urbanites, and thus has opened its first Official Ducati store in China this week. More after the jump.
Chinese motorcycle manufacturer Qianjiang Motor, which in 2005 acquired the Pesaro Benelli, is now investing an additional $26 million into Benelli to help revitalize the Italian brand. Talking at a press conference two days ago, Qianjang General Manager Haimei Yan stated that "[although] we have not yet turned a profit in the budget, we are here to stay, and believe in the company."

I dunno, seems like even if you know what you're doing your shit can get wrecked by a bad streak.
I still think it's a shitty game.
Monopoly is the worst game. It's not even fun. Science fact.
So irritated right now.
Just listened to a native Peruvian say "fajita" as "fuh jai tuh."
The last time I checked on the John Dies at the End movie it was still in the "Maybe?!" stage.
Fast forward to now, and it's in post.
Suddenly my life just got injected with even more excitement.
Is it weird that after dwelling for a while on "chivalry" in modern culture I was struck so soundly with an idea for a story that I almost laughed in the middle of a room full of people?
Perhaps. And yet I forge ahead.
7 - I want you to know this one hurt me deeply but because I love you so much I wrought an igneous answer from the roiling magma of my preferences.
It's a tie between American Gods and House of Leaves, and they're connected in a less than obvious way for me. American Gods was the first time I felt comfortable and at ease analyzing a story, and felt how much I loved that mode of reading. House of Leaves, read shortly thereafter, remains the work I had the most difficulty and most satisfaction unraveling. Apart from the book itself, this stemmed from my uncle's note on the inside cover, bidding me good luck. He knew I would eventually be up to its twists and turns, but I don't think he expected it so soon. I admire him a great deal. Exceeding his expectations is important to me.
14 - Understanding myself, and in so doing gaining at least a bit of glorious insight into the lives of others; learning what it truly means to improve myself. This is an endless task, but only because I am constantly changing in many ways. Understanding that change is also part of mastering myself.
People offering to pay me to edit their work based on workshop discussions is another, more trivial and superficial achievement.
Synthesizing my own worldview after carefully considering my experiences and education; maintaining and improving it.
Telling severe depression to go fuck itself 'cause I want to be happy.
28 - Comfortable financially, to the point where I don't have to worry about my next meal or the bills, and can afford a few luxuries like some gadgets and nice pens. Working in a position that allows me to exercise my skills to their fullest. Editing is most appealing to me right now.
(With you.)
54 - Partner's pleasure. Laughter. Sex and other physical acts as expressions of love as well as pleasure. A nice butt (THE MOST IMPORTANT).
hi adam i hope your foodventure is
10 - Birds, especially crows; cats; prehistoric megafauna.
48 - Not to have to borrow money for school. WHOOPS.
29 - I don't easily get embarrassed! I kinda just go, "Heh, yeah that was pretty dumb huh guys." In my family you had to learn to appreciate that you can make mistakes and it's okay, because otherwise all the jokes would make you miserable.
19 - Oh fuck. In chronological order, marked if still living: Stranger (dog); Regal (parakeet); Muffy (dog); Jackson (dog); Charlotte (guinea pig); Shade (dog); Patches (cat); Mr. (cat); Slinky (snake); Spooky (cat); Madison (dog; alive to my knowledge); Slinky II (snake); Bob[arosa] (dog); Oscar (cat); Violet (cat; alive to my knowledge); Godzilla (cat; alive); Tokyo (cat; alive); Ike (dog; alive); Django (dog; alive to my knowledge); Mamie (dog; alive)… Probably forgetting some.
Jackson was alive for nearly the entirety of my life. We didn't have an exact figure but we guessed she lived to at least 19. You might be surprised what kind of hole a lazy, poopy dog can leave in your life when it's been a constant presence since before you could even talk.
16 - Listening to a lot of SomethingALaMode and Vampire Weekend.
4 - I'm gonna go with Bea's answer, San Francisco, movie and dinner on the wharf. It's kind of cheating because we had dates before that but this was different. We put a lot of effort and patience into making this one happen and it was worth every bit of both. It's a memory I will always keep dear.
13 - Slept, mostly, and tried to let my allergy meds save me from my torment. Turns out they're finally kicking in.
6 - Too exclusive a term for me and I'd feel wrong delineating any kind of distinction. But there are people whom I care a lot for and people I don't care so much for and it's kind of a wishy washy mess inbetween! I tend to approach my relationships with people only in their own contexts rather than in relation to each other.
12 - At the time I would have said it was because she was unstable and made a lot of poor decisions in quick succession, and there's a bit of truth to that, but now I realize it was mostly that we just weren't good for each other in the long haul.
52 - Received: "About to take a test in lindquist. I'll try to make it fast." Sent: "Okay." THE MOST INTERESTING
"What you got there?"
"Uh. A popsicle."
"What flavor?"
"It's. It's strawberry. Well, technically it's kiwi strawberry."
"Looks refreshing."
"Indy, I know it's not the manliest treat in the world."
"I didn't say anything."
"I mean it's pretty hot out so like—"
"It's important to keep cool. That's why I carry this canteen filled with river water."
"And I have to slowly suck it like this because my teeth are pretty sensitive. So I can't just bite into it. Plus I'll get a, you know, a cold headache."
"One time I got a headache because a Nazi general held my face against the wheels of a moving tank."
"You think your sister will be back from Walgreens pretty soon?"
"Yeah, she was just gonna pick up some sex gel and Pringles."
"Maybe I'll go wait in the biplane."
"Cool. Cool. Hey, you wanna hear this joke on the popsicle stick? It's pretty funny."
"Just let her know where I am, kid."
"OK, Indy."

Personally I think it's terrible because it's poorly designed. The raw content could be the same between G+ and Facebook and I'd still prefer G+.
well yeah, it bugs out on me and freezes my browser 3/4 of the time so i tend not to stay on there more than 5 minutes at a time, but that's a better complaint than 'the people on it are terrible so we can't let them on tumblr'
People say that? That's a really dumb thing to say.

There are almost definitely both genetic and environmental factors at play in people's sexuality and gender identification. Lots of studies have been done on this, and the general conclusion is, "It's complicated, and there isn't just one cause, but something is happening between all of these factors."
Here's a Wikipedia link for the sexual orientation side of things, if you're interested!

This reminds me, The Sims 3 has a Never Nude trait for sim creation.
and all the characters were interesting and it was fun to watch and the powers were cool but then they revealed one of the girl's powers and i said "this is not gonna fly" and shut the hulu browser window and started to write an angry open letter to all british people about being respectful to victims of rape and abuse and then i remembered that not all british people worked on the show so i learned a lesson about nationality profiling and then forgot it in the next episode where basically the same thing happens only with germans or something
i watched the first five episodes and i liked it

Windows 7 desktop freeze then re boot
Hi I have installed windows 7 on my PC and now I find that the display freezes when leaving the desktop idle for a period of time. The only way to get back is to force a re boot to the PC. I thought maybe the installation went in wrong so I reformatted hard drive and re installed the operating system again. Re load my normal windows programs and thought all was well until it happened again.
So I thought I would look on the forums to see if any one else has a problem? Found this forum and now I don't feel so bad. I have tried some of the ideas in the above postings but still happens after a short period of time maybe 1/2 hours.
I did how ever look into system rating the PC in properties from the computer button on start programs and ran the system check. After a while the report on screen said Can not rate system at present Window driver problem! what ever this means? Maybe thats why we are having a problem with freezing? Help I do like Win 7 and would like to keep using it so I will keep an eye on this thread to see if any one has a fix? Thanks for reading Peter

Your nv_agp driver isn't running. That is for your AGP slot to work well. You do have AGP style video card, right? Update the chipset drivers for your motherboard. Because now, it's only using PCI to PCI bridge. No good.
And you have Bonjour on your pc. Recommended to Google on how to remove.
Another recommendation: Open Computer (Windows Explorer), click uninstall or change a program. Use this to remove NVidia 3D Vision or similar.
Update your Steam. Unrelated, but I see it crashed on you. http://store.steampowered.com/about/
There are updates for your Adobe Reader.
Use msconfig (because easier for you than Regedit) from start menu. Copy and paste that into search box, hit enter. Go to startup tab.
Uncheck QuickTime Task, Adobe ARM, Adobe Reader Speed Launcher, Google Update. Hit ok.
Please fill in your system specs better if you are able to. Thanks.

Thanks for your comments on my problem. I checked out my PCI Nvida 9600 and found that it was showing in the device manager as a VGA standard display. This is wrong and after checking it out on another machine I found that it was not working correctly on that either. I need to put back my old Nvida 6200 card. That worked okay for a while letting me update the chipset drivers from the net. Still after a hour or so the display still locked up just as before. I suspect a motherboard fault. I reset the bios to the defaults and tried again. Still locked up! The box is about 4 years old and maybe should be replaced but I think this problem should be found out. I will include a copy of the latest MSINFO and welcome any comments thank you again Pete

Install the driver for the video card from Welcome to NVIDIA - World Leader in Visual Computing Technologies
Use regedit to delete the key for starting up Google Update. Use msconfig startup tab (type msconfig in start menu search, hit enter) to find out where it's located.
Do the same for soundman.exe, unless you like that. In that case, you may keep.

Farewell CNN Latino, which I never once watched.
The Spanish-language programming, which aired in Miami, Los Angeles, New York and other top Hispanic markets, is ceasing this month after failing to meet "business expectations," according to a spokesman.
It follows the quiet end of the English-language NBC Latino news website (which carried my syndicated column until it shuttered at the end of 2013) and the ABC/Univision in English web experiment, which bit the dust last fall.
Coincidentally, just after Spanish-language television reached a new milestone last July when Univision finished first among broadcast networks in the two highly sought-after demographic ranges of 18- to 49-year-olds and 18- to 34-year-olds during summer sweeps, the Pew Hispanic Center revealed that a larger — and growing — portion of Hispanics get their news in English.
These contradictory data points cannot be used to divine the future of Hispanics and U.S. media. They are simply signs of the times: Like all other news consumers, Hispanics are increasingly getting their headlines from a fragmented combination of print, TV and Web sources that include hard news, opinion, blogs and satire. They happen to do so in multiple languages.
Last summer, Mark Hugo Lopez provided the best explanation for the rise of Spanish-language programming in concert with English-language news:
"Because Hispanics are such a fast growing part of the U.S. population, the number who speak Spanish and who watch television in Spanish has risen even as the share who get their news in Spanish has declined," he wrote.
Since Hispanics tend to be bilingual, it's easy to imagine households where the news is consumed in English but the channel is changed for culture-specific entertainment like Don Francisco's jigglefest "Sabado Gigante," steamy telenovelas like "Mentir Para Vivir" ("Lie So You Can Live") and specials like the Univision Hispanic Youth Awards, which won July's sweeps.
To what, then, do we owe the demise of the three news ventures that, on paper, seemed to be the perfect combination to attract Latinos?
Federico Subervi, a professor and scholar of Latino media at Kent State University, recently told Boston's NPR affiliate that he believed those efforts simply didn't gain enough awareness among the targeted audience.
"The first thought that came to mind — I had read the news about the demise of these outlets — was a wonderful movie that gets little promotion, maybe not enough promotion," Subervi said, "And that people say, well, you know, it didn't get the audience that it needed."
Or maybe Hispanic audiences just didn't like the erratic stream of recipes, "model minority" features, celebrity gossip and immigration-focused breathlessness that seemed to dominate those pages.
If you're not sure what I'm talking about, head over to Huffington Post's Latino Voices. After wading through the umpteenth story about Sofia Vergara's or Shakira's curves and the obligatory "Evil Republican" item, yes you'll find some excellent news and commentary about important issues affecting Hispanics. But there's a lot of tabloid fluff to wade through and if readers wanted a celebrity gossip site, they'd go straight to one in the first place.
"Covering" Hispanics is actually pretty simple: if the "mainstream news media" wants serious Latino attention, all it needs to do is report Hispanics' issues respectfully, fairly and consistently —no Sofia Vergara or Spanglish required.
Esther Cepeda writes for the Washington Post Writers Group.

DevFest 2014 (by ADI) has already ended, but I just wanted to post the t-shirt design!
Originally, I was planning on just throwing on the DevFest logo and call it a day, but that seemed a little boring to me, so I came up with this fun twist. We opted for the indigo shirt (sorry, no plum!) from Next Level Apparel and they turned out really well! It's always fun seeing people wearing them around campus—I think I see at least one every day!
Tool: Adobe Illustrator
ADI (Application Development Initiative) is hosting their annual Devfest at Columbia!
Here are the initial logo designs and after much discussion, members of the ADI committee decided on the logo shown in the first image. I had a lot of fun designing these logos despite the short time frame. Ultimately we wanted something that could be used in future years as well.
Tools: Illustrator and Photoshop
And what is Devfest?! A week of workshops, hacking, demos, and food (free)! Hackers of all levels are welcome to participate and learn! The week starts with the kick-off Saturday, February 1st, 12-2pm in the Davis Auditorium!
Register for Devfest 2014 now!Stay up to date via the Facebook Event!
See you there! (I'll be taking pictures throughout the week!) :)
3LAU Charity Rave promo card design! Check out the event on Facebook. It's hosted by Columbia University Pi Delta Psi! The event is open to all college students, so you're in the New York area, you should definitely check it out! Tickets: http://bit.ly/3lautickets ($30! - $20 for Columbia Students)
Tools: Adobe Photoshop
Casual photoshoot for my friend, Jenny, for the launch of her awesome fashion blog, College Walk. It had been a while that I did a shoot of a friend of mine—and she was such a trooper! It was absolutely freezing and windy that day. Awesome bonus—she got a lot of compliments on that outfit from people walking by!

Official Program design for ECAASU 2013 at Columbia University!
This program is without a doubt the largest print job I have ever done. (It literally consumed my life!) The program totals 40 pages in full color and covers every aspect of the action-packed 2 day conference. With a multitude of performers, 45+ workshops, 90+ workshop facilitators, numerous in-kind donors and sponsors (some of which were still in the process of confirming), a variety of individualized events, and more, putting this program together not only proved to be challenging in terms of design, but also a logistical nightmare. I put together the program in a little over a week and thankfully my conference board team was very cooperative throughout the process.
All in all, making this intense program was definitely very fruitful for me! And I'm now 100% comfortable with InDesign. Just goes to show, if you want to learn design guys, just get into it!
Check out the full program here: http://www.ecaasu2013.org/program.pdf.
Tools: Adobe Photostop CS5 and InDesign CS5
Official Conference Badges for ECAASU 2013 at Columbia University!
8 different color schemes total. It was just a quick, fun design I threw together in a time crunch. We wanted a way to be able to immediately differentiate between different types of conference participants—which in turn also streamlined the check-in process. We used Data Merge in Adobe InDesign to merge in the data for 1600+ badges.
Tool: Adobe Photoshop CS5
If you haven't heard, the ECAASU (East Coast Asian American Student Union) Conference is coming to Columbia University in NYC this year! I've basically been doing all the design for this massive conference (over 1200 attendees and 1500+ people involved TOTAL including conference board, speakers, performers, workshop facilitators, and volunteers)!
We've got awesome guest performers like David So, Jason Chen, Clara C, and more! Keynote speakers include Richard Lui and Norman Mineta (ex-mayor of my hometown!). We've got over 45 amazing workshops and legit sponsors/donors!
Register here!Like us on Facebook!
Be prepared to see all the awesome design I've been working on for this conference! Hit me up if you're attending! :)
Chinese Students Club Night Market 2012: "Spectrum" Poster.
A very overdue post! The event was a great success and thanks to everyone who came out!
Design: A draft of the poster was originally created by Justin (had the rainbow image plus the picture). I couldn't help but want to turn the picture to align with the rainbow stripes. A few more tweaks here and there, plus some fancy lighting effect for the "Spectrum" text, and you have an eye-catching Night Market poster!Tools: Adobe Photoshop CS5

Sail NY Harbor Aboard the Historic Schooner Shearwater
Friday September 4, 2009 / 9:30pm (Full Moon Sail)Sail NY Harbor Aboard the Historic Schooner Shearwater
2 tickets
General Admission
South End Ave and Liberty St.
New York City, NY 10280
How was your experience?
It's a wonderful experience to see the NY skylight all lit up, especially under a full moon. Only downside was the lack of wind, so really didn't get the full "sailing experience" I was hoping for. Also, it took a very long time to get the boat ready and everyone on board so our 9:30pm departure was more like after 10pm.
