Become a politician to (try to) make the world a better place?
About two years ago I discovered TED, then i spent a year watching all the Talks and getting into many different Conversations about just about everything.
It was clear to me long before I found TED that the world had problems, and every now and then I would come up with a solution to one of these problems.
But the problem or the solution was only ever discussed and shared with my friends, who weren't very influential - and thus no changes came to the world from my thoughts or opinions.
As I watched more and more TED Talks and got into deeper and deeper Conversations I realized that many of the problems I had been pondering were already solved in ingenious ways. But very few were ever implemented on large scale, mostly because of political issues in one way or another.
I tried at first to influence politicians through social media and Emails. I wrote to all kinds of officials about everything that was promising and innovative, about all the cool projects that there were out in the world and urged them to take these great ideas to heart.
Very few replied and it is my conclusion that I was unsuccessful in influencing them strongly enough to achieve the amount of change I was hoping for.
So in December I decided to become one, a local politician in my hometown.
So far I haven't been able to pass any revolutionary laws or systems. But I have managed to make politics in Falkenberg, Sweden a bit more transparent and open, getting them to use social media and tech more and better.
I've managed to help save our local hospital from being moved to another city and I've gathered a handful of good and smart people to form a "visionary group" for our city.
On top of that I've met incredible (and not so incredible) people that have the power to change things. And I've been able to forward my ideas to them, getting feedback and achieving (small) change through this.
It's a start!
When will you start and what will it take?
Sep 20 2012: join the mob. be a good mob boss. try to influence other mob members to be good. make the mob a peaceful organization.
Sep 22 2012: I'm on it ;-)

Sep 16 2012: Imo politicians pursue their own agenda of getting reelected and subordinate everything to that primary purpose.

Now that you are a politician wouldn't be hard to drop it and move on to something else???
The founders in our country (the U.S.) intended for politicians to be part time, in other word do their duty for a stint and then move on.
I think to really make a change is a gargantuan task that has to be performed one person at a time, if you bring a person up a notch, you are doing good work. This is not glamorous and likely not acknowledged which further makes me question the motives of a politician? "Good work is it's own reward" is not just a platitude. How many politicians really believe this, manifested not through their words but through their actions which genuinely indicated their motivation.
With most of the power being centralized it has become the anathema of the individual, yet the individual is where the rubber meets the road ( where real change is made). Where the individual does well, flourishes, is in a small group as in a family, a church, club, classroom, town council. As this is where an individual can communicate.
Simply put the purpose of government is to create a place where the individual can flourish.It is not about the politician.
Sep 19 2012: Hi Pat,
Actually it would be hard to drop everything, but probably not for the reasons you'd expect. It would be hard to do it right now because;
1. I got elected on a 1 year term an if I drop it I'd be abandoning my responsibility.
2. I enjoy it, even though it's often much (unpaid) work and late hours, I feel that I'm making a slight difference and I also get to meet some people who are like me.
3.I'm learning and advancing upwards, and that will give me the power and knowledge to change more for the better.
But on the other hand, I'm not used to staying in one place for too long so I often wish to move on to explore something new. Becoming a politician actually goes against my nature in so many ways.
I am a part time politician, I will move on.
The purpose of government is to create a nation that flourishes together with the rest of the world.
Sep 19 2012: You sound like the opposite of what I think of when I think of a politician, in fact a part time legislator who has not been co opted into the corruption, that is ideal.
But I do disagree with your last sentence as it is about the individual. I would urge you to look at that point as it is not a small one.
Sep 20 2012: Thank you Pat!
About the last part, I think that perhaps we're just expressing the same thing in different ways.
What I mean to say is that: Yes, the individual person is very important indeed... We are all individuals but perhaps that's not the way that people should be thinking about themselves, or at least not putting all emphasis on it as we often do.
It just feels like when people speak of the individual they many times forget about the collective good, trying to grab as much as possible for themselves without regards for their surroundings...
Let me re-phrase and see if I can get it better this time.
The purpose of government is... (I've been sitting here for quite some time now and I'm unable to sum it up here, there are just so many things that a government should have as focus areas.) Perhaps maximizing happiness and minimizing suffering whilst being sustainable. Perhaps the purpose is to channel the peoples wishes.
Perhaps a new Conversation would be in place for this?Sep 21 2012: Jimmy
There is a large difference of opinion on this subject. The socialist types basically think from the top down and that we know what is best for someone else.
Myself being a Libertarian and an Ayn Rand type we believe that the individual is the key and that government should be from the bottom up.
The reason for our thinking is that we have enormous respect for the individual and his liberty. While the government that takes care of less fortunate people has the apparency of being kinder it really is not. In many of the state parks here the park rangers are adamant about not feeding the wild animals because they do not want them to become dependent on the campers for food. Not to mention the fact that if you stopped feeding them as they had become accustom they would become irate. Why don't they show the same respect for the individual?
When you talk to individuals you will get different answers but when you talk to a group or as you say the collective you will get the same answer the problem is that their is no collective brain as the collective does not think it reacts. Have you ever tried to reason with a riot?
Everything that has raised the standard of living of mankind has come from the individual it has not come from the collective. Everything that is good has come from an individual it has not come from a group.
We are not going to agree on this. Based on your answers I can see that this is something that you did not consider was a question. My point is that it is a question. Any change that occurs will occur with the individual not the collective.
This is not a small point.
Sep 22 2012: Hmm... as you say, I disagree.
I am (as you may have figured out) a socialist and I completely disagree with the statement that socialists are top-down.
Even though humans are animals we rarely apply the same rules for deer and men so the animal-analogy doesn't do the trick for me. People need a basic safety net that can catch them if they fall.
Do you mean the respect of letting people go homeless and starving, I call that disrespectful, inhumane even?
It's not really that easy to get a job if you're homeless. And if you're starving you'd do anything to get food, including most crimes.
It's really very easy, the state should help people to get back on their feet so that they can continue to contribute and live a happy life. Not punish them for being unsuccessful at life, forcing them of the grid and into crime, which costs a lot more.
I have never tried reasoning with a riot...
Individuals can accomplish much, that is true.
But when I look at mankind's greatest achievements few of them have been accomplished by a single individual, it has been done by people working together to create something that none of them could do alone.Sep 22 2012: Yes, we disagree.
You understand, the animal analogy was not literal? But I will say that I believe the main difference between animals and humans is spiritual.
You say socialism is not top down, yet you decide what is best for people and make them dependent on the government, that is most assuredly top down. I understand that starving people should be helped but that is not what I'm talking about. Some politicians take this well past a safety net, which is great for them as they buy votes, but subsidizing illegal immigrants (which then attracts more illegal immigrants) for food, housing, medical care, and education and driving indigenous workers out of the work place is not really a safety net. This not only compels generations to be dependent on government, it necessarily raises taxes on the productive. Today in the U.S. half of the population does not pay any federal income taxes. This not only disrespects the low end but the high end of income producers. Of course what ever you reward you get more of which means more people who become dependent on the government and get government transfers (welfare) that doesn't show up as income and who do work under the table or on the black market and less people who want to take the enormous risk of starting a business.
Another aspect of socialism disrespecting humans I will explain in a story. A customer of mine worked in Germany as a mountain guide for a few years and had to decide where he would live the rest of his life Germany or the U.S.. He loved Germany and we both agreed the apprenticing and training is second to none. But in Germany his future children would be channeled in a certain direction from about age 10 on. In the U.S. his children would have the freedom to choose what ever they wanted to do and change their mind if they wanted. This was the main reason he decided to move back to the U.S. He has tried many different business' and succeeded and failed.
You see if you are going to have opportunity..Sep 22 2012: it has to be opportunity to win and loose. This is organic to life, both the process of living and the individual. You see true happiness comes from having an interest and to have goals and overcome barriers and achieve those goals.
This is why the U.S. has been the most successful country in history, which has raised the standard of living of the world more than any other country in history. It has created an culture where people could do just that in other word this culture has been the most alive.
Sadly the perversion of the intangible qualities of this country which attracts high quality people will probably be the demise of this country as it will with many countries like the PIGS, Argentina, etc.

Sep 16 2012: Jimmy, what you are trying to do is admirable but you have to be very strong person to not be corrupted by politics (I'm not just talking about financial corruption and lying but also about always remembering that you may not always be right or need to listen to other people's advice before making a decision). You say you've done discussion for two years now, that could be enough, but it also may not be. I think to be a good leader you have to engage in discussions with people of different political persuasions to see where they are coming from and why some of what they're saying makes sense even though their overall story doesn't. You should also need to expand your knowledge base: history, geography, geopolitics and economics, lots of economics, but most of all science and math because you need science for many issues and you need math to understand science and economics. Never stop thinking outside the box: just because most people only know capitalism and socialism doesn't mean there's nothing else out there for you to discover on some obscure wikipedia page, or invent yourself. And never stop thinking critically about your own ideas: come up with possible counterarguments in your mind and let other people try to poke holes in them so you can plug those holes.

Sep 19 2012: Hi John, thank you!
I will not be corrupted, this I feel with the utmost certainty. I have no desires for riches, I am a happier man now, earning much less, then I ever was before. Of course no one is immune to the corruption of mind, but I do make it a habit of never claiming certainty, as Hans Rosling says " I am a probabalist".
Well I've been doing TED Conversations for two years, and educational and transformative as they are. I'm not really sure if how long you've been hanging around Conversations is a good measuring stick for how well crafted your thoughts are, I've seen evidence of it not being so...
I do engage with any person that is willing to debate with reason and mutual respect for opinions. I have expanded my knowledge (and continue to do so) in all the fields you mention and I do have a certain love for science and math.
All of your advice is right along my tracks... If you yourself follow these advises you should surely think about becoming a politician ;-)

Sep 16 2012: Congratulations to you on your commitment and your local successes. We all follow different paths, some in the spotlight and some not, and can all make a difference if we choose to.

Sep 19 2012: Thank you Fritzie!Sep 29 2012: Nothing wrong in getting involved - 'but' & this may sound unhelpful - it is almost pointless as the whole democratic system simply does not work anyway - basically its not really democratic and (in the UK at least) has not implemented ANY useful change since the NHS was introduced over 60 years ago!
So, if you join politics (in the UK) you just help with local issues (that's fine), but you will never influence major change.
(To understand the thinking behind this please see the link at the end).
I am NOT being defeatist and do believe that the system could change - but until we start looking at politics with our eyes open, we shall just maintain the status-quo. And, I am not talking about change through fear or violence, but change from the clear NEED to change - maybe by a new generation becoming aware of their power to change the system peacefully by using new technology along with their purchasing power to lever true change to a new system. Economics and capitalism as run currently will simply, in the not too distant future, not work at all. It shall become absolutely necessary to create massive politic and economic change - as we move away from work for all (the Robots et al) to a different system of sharing out the wealth (created by the Bots) and away from capitalism to 'resourcism'.
So we need sensible planning for a future political process that offers much improved democracy and can actually deliver real change. Please see the following link for (at least) one idea on how this may achieved.
Let's have a sensible, quality debate on potential new politics that could really work.
JPSep 20 2012: Hello Jimmy,
Thank you for a very interesting idea. I would make a terrible politician, i confess, but i am glad there are politicians like you trying to change things from within.
It is an uphill battle of course, because the main point is to become a politician and chart a plan to make politicians mostly obsolete in a few decades. I won't be surprised if you find a lot of resistance!
Yes, a transparent voting system would make sense for some things, but beware! we might find ourselves with a population where a majority might want to vote to repel the law of gravity. My point is that that there are limits to what can be achieved through voting.
But noble is indeed the effort to make voting more transparent and more relevant to actual citizens, rather than the cyclical exercise on "feel good" and "feel included" that seems to be nowadays
As for myself, I would work in parallel to your efforts. One of the biggest problems in politics, as stated in some of the responses below, is that money rules. So my focus is instead in devising ways to make money less and less relevant. Yes it's very idealistic. But with a goal of making individuals truly self sufficient, completely independent from money, i could at least chart a path and start giving the first steps. With this, I hope, I would be achieving some of the goals that you seem to have embedded in your question
TED indeed has lots of talent floating around. I think the next step is to leverage that talent and these amazing networking capabilities and start bringing down to earth those ideas one by one, one project at a time
Looking forward to working with you on this
Sep 22 2012: Hi Andres,
It is an uphill battle, I expect to find a lot(!) of resistance.
Yes, there is always the risk of people being mislead but It's a lot harder to mislead a nation then it is a chamber of congress. I agree with Winston Churchill that "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried."
It is the best system we've been able to come up with, and there's nothing more to do then have faith in that system and hope that they don't ban gravity.
I too have been working/pondering in ways to make money less relevant, very idealistic indeed, I like that.
Yes, collaborating for a better world.

Sep 20 2012: no .i think you should not become a politician .you can also make the world a better place.like a famous expert.or writer .you should just stick to yourself .

Sep 22 2012: Hi Chen.
I appreciate the concern but I will stick to being myself, if that doesn't work, so be it.Sep 20 2012: I am actually going to run for Governor of Ohio in the 2014 election. I very much plan on use some ted talk ideas for my running platform . As well as trying to get rid of the D and R from beside everyone's name and make them all I's. And hopefully do it for free if everything works out over the next year to remind people that these men and women we elect are suppose to be public servants and not the other way around.
Sep 22 2012: Glad to hear it Casey, good luck to you.Sep 22 2012: hi casey ,i think my idea is a very good start you will boost your popularity , good luck to you
Sep 22 2012: Thank you, both
What idea are you referring to?
Sep 22 2012: hello, my idea is very simple , it's about the global crisis ideas ,if you count the number of people who have the power of decision in a government you will see that they are not numerous this is why they must to search a very special people among millions of them who can give a special ideas because the actual crisis need a special ideas ,how this idea could be realized? it's very simple all the governement of the world who want real change must to create ( the secretariat of the innovative ideas) why ?(1)-firstly because they are not numerous (2)-secondly they try to solve the current problems with solutions of the past ( tax increase) (3)they have no power over finance ,statistically you can be sure to find people from all sides who can give inovative ideas ,the most intresting ideas will examined by experts commitions and finaly the governement have the final décision to accept or not the idieSep 22 2012: this is the second one , we know water resources dwindled day by day, I tell you simply that this is an event happen in my bathroom and I shoot in my field of view, i view my old manual faucet and I was shocked to see that I shoot an invention that dates back to 1486 with an iPhone ho the man has done better technologically, that's why the faucets works in automatic approach hands must be generalize in most houses possible to diminish enormously the waste water (1) firstly find the cheapest to produce as possible for the amount of faucets, the change of the old faucets will recover a lot of copper that will reduce the cost of the news (2) secondly we must take the best of them and put them in a museum (3) it's going to create many jobs , thank youSep 19 2012: I used to be an anarchist, not voting. Then I discovered the Pirate Party which lets you participate using the internet. Lately I watched some Ron Paul clips and reverted back to the initial (libertarian) anarchist stance.
People will have to become organised in a non-autoritarian way, using the internet. Governments misinform the public and take away incentive to self-organize.
If I became president I would send everybody home and fire myself.Sep 19 2012: John, don't know where you are from (no bio) but I do not see the two year term as the big problem. I see that we have allowed the fox to guard the hen house. The politicians make the rules governing politicians. They can virtually ensure the club remains the exclusive domain of the eliete.
Isn't the House of Lords a rather exclusive club. I once read that a Lord could go to jail for murder come out and reclaim his seat ... the only requirement is that he could not be broke. Is that true?
Sep 19 2012: If you press the "Reply" button on John's comment there's a bigger chance that he'll read it :-)Sep 19 2012: "Isn't the House of Lords a rather exclusive club"
I'm sure it is, but you've just managed to pick the only example of such an exclusive system. All other democracies have no such problem with their upper house. In Europe the average parliamentarian comes from the middle classand is still not a millionaire when they leave parliament some 4-10 years later.
"The politicians make the rules governing politicians."
Yeah, but that kinda comes with the territory, who else has the authority?
America's elephant in the room is election financing. All other countries use some kind of public election fund, only in the US does it require millions to get elected to parliament and hundreds of millions to become president. Obviously corporations and billionaires will take advantage of that situation. The last French presidential election cost $22 million, compare that to the >1 billion the American presidential cadidates will have spend (America's population is only 5 times larger than that of France and income levels are similar).
Sep 20 2012: That is a point I actually agree with. Do you have any links that show studies on this?Sep 18 2012: the problem of governments it has too much pride to ask for help citizens simply, we must also say that the numbers of person in government who have the power of decision are very few, that's why it is urgent that government to create (a secretariat of innovative ideas) plus they have nothing to lose and the secretariat will be cheaper to manage because it's wil allow people to participate in direct way to change, it will be examined by commition which have the final decision to accept or not the idea ,exuse my english
Sep 19 2012: I've been in contact with " http://seeclickfix.com/ " which let's citizens do precisely that and more. I'm working on ways of getting it implemented here.
Watch the TEDx Talk about Seeclickfix if you wish http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0DsSxVG7VI
Sep 20 2012: . thank you jimmy , http://seeclickfix.com is very interesting I hope successful for you , if we don't think different the future will be very bad like the movie MAD MAX , and if I have ideas I wil tel you about
Sep 22 2012: I'm always glad to hear about good ideas, just email me about anything.Sep 22 2012: go, because I'm nice, I give you the first one , we know water resources dwindled day by day, I tell you simply that this is an event happen in my bathroom and I shoot in my field of view, i view my old manual faucet and I was shocked to see that I shoot an invention that dates back to 1486 with an iPhone ho the man has done better technologically, that's why the faucets works in automatic approach hands must be generalize in most houses possible to diminish enormously the waste water (1) firstly find the cheapest to produce as possible for the amount of faucets, the change of the old faucets will recover a lot of copper that will reduce the cost of the news (2) secondly we must take the best of them and put them in a museum (3) it's going to create many jobs , thank youSep 18 2012: Pat has stated it well in his reply. In the US we created a big problem when we allowed politics to a career. The politicians found that they had the power to vote themselves high wages and perks with the ability to "manipulate the law" could sell their votes to the highest bidder and those who would finanice their re- election. They cast their vote for a bridge to nowhere in Alaska based on support from that politician for your self serving project in your state. Both projects are now funded and the money and influence flows.
In the United States this is called the millionaires club (Congress). Laws are passed without even reading them ... and then exempt themselves from the law. We face a fiscial cliff due in Jan 2013. This is the biggest issue in the history of the US and yet not even a issue in the elections debates.
The key to politics in the US is money. You gotta pay to ride the gravey train. Poor people have no chance.
Good luck in your efforts. Bob.
Sep 18 2012: Many countries have career politicians. The bigger issues in the US are the 2-year election cycles (it's always election season) and the way political candidates and parties are bought/funded (by the highest bidder) and need lots of money for even the lowliest election. Many European prime mininisters and parliamentarians never become millionaires in their life, while the American parliament is only reachable when you are a millionaire.

I'm afraid that I'm not very well accustomed with many of your political systems in the U.S.Sep 17 2012: Good to hear of your efforts and your progress.
But I dont believe that the world of tomorrow, thanks to certain political ideology with popular support, would be radically different from today.
It is the same humanity; with our hypocrisy, selfishness, greed and other numerous failings that usually brings the worst out of even the most brilliant ideas and systems.
Yes, we should do the best we can in every position we find ourselves; and we should not give up; and we should not have grand illussions of our ability to change the world.
Sep 19 2012: Thank you Feyisayo.
However I think that the humanity you speak of have many more traits then the ones you mention.
I might have grand illusions about my ability to change the world, only time will tell.Sep 20 2012: One man/women can change the word. All he/she has to do is choose to change it and there is nothing that can stop that person other then say death by some sort. Otherwise he has changed his mind. It all about personal choice never let anyone take that away from you with out your permission
Sep 22 2012: Thank you for the encouraging words Casey.Sep 17 2012: Really we just need selfless people like you in the system. you got my vote but ill watch your actions over your words best of luck foward thinker.
Sep 19 2012: Thank you very much!
That is precisely what one should do when watching a politician, although one should also think about peoples intents.
And best of luck to you, good sir.Sep 16 2012: Small change is good enough,better than no change,we had a minister that refused to cut his hair or dreadlocks though the system was always at him day in day out,i admired him for his strength and laughed my headoff when he left parliament and decided to cut his hair,he achieved only small change but it helped his party.
Sep 19 2012: I've never had dreadlocks but I' have long hair so there is that option. And I've been promising my friends that I'd get dreadlocks if I ever get elected prime minister ;-P
Sep 20 2012: You bloody better become PM Jim, then i can say to people "I once posted with the PM of Sweden" no one would believe me lol Good Journey Jim
Sep 22 2012: I'll do my best ;-PSep 16 2012: I registered with TED a few days ago and since then my thoughts have accelerated. Last week, I created a twitter account (@Oondoon) as a means of expressing my thoughts without qualification. At the moment, of 82 tweets there are 24 followers. This simple validation led me to TED and I am know conversing and socializing in such a way that is has changed my entire disposition.
The act of participation can transform our society. Networked and distributed participation could make traditional politics obsolete. It could make traditional religion obsolete. The actual problems of the world need actual solutions. The utility we have in the form of technology allows us the capability transcend politics and government. It gives us the tools to build a sustainable social infrastructure capable of maintaining our cultural and local infrastructure while reducing impact on global resources.
In my mind, there is a definite need for aware politicians to be bold enough to help move government institutions and banks from the centralized systems to distributed systems.

Cancer of the throat is cancer of the vocal cords, voice box (larynx), or other areas of the throat.
Vocal cord cancer; Throat cancer; Laryngeal cancer; Cancer of the glottis
People who smoke or use tobacco are at risk of developing throat cancer. Excessive alcohol use also increases risk. Smoking and drinking alcohol combined lead to an increased risk for throat cancers.
Most cancers of the throat develop in adults older than 50. Men are 10 times more likely than women to develop throat cancers.
The doctor will perform a physical exam. This may show a lump on the outside of the neck.
The doctor may look in your throat or nose using a flexible tube with a small camera at the end.
Other may include:
The goal of treatment is to completely remove the cancer and prevent it from spreading to other parts of the body.
When the tumor is small, either surgery or radiation therapy alone can be used to remove the tumor.
When the tumor is larger or has spread to lymph nodes in the neck, a combination of radiation and chemotherapy is often used to preserve the voice box.
Some patients need surgery to remove the tumor, including all or part of the vocal cords (laryngectomy). If you have a laryngectomy, speech therapy can help you learn other ways to talk.
Many patients also need swallowing therapy after treatment to help them adjust to the changes in the structure of the throat.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group of people who share common experiences and problems. See cancer - support group.
Throat cancers can be cured in 90% of patients if detected early. If the cancer has spread to surrounding tissues or lymph nodes in the neck, 50 - 60% of patients can be cured. If the cancer has spread (metastasized) to parts of the body outside the head and neck, the cancer is not curable and treatment is aimed at prolonging and improving quality of life.
After treatment, patients generally need therapy to help with speech and swallowing. A small percentage of patients (5%) will not be able to swallow and will need to be fed through a feeding tube.
Call your health care provider if:
Avoid smoking and other tobacco exposure. Limit or avoid alcohol use.

The Bart Ehrman Blog
It's looking slick and professional and there are already a couple of posts, one on the First Century Copy of Mark? that has previously been discussed here and elsewhere and one on his new book about Jesus Mythicists.
Extra goodies are hidden behind a paywall, including an extension of the above post on the first century Mark fragment. Also, only paying members are able to comment on blog posts. Money earned from the site will go to assisting the needy. I am not aware of other academic bloggers who have added a paywall, so it will be interesting to see how the blog fares. I am looking forward, though, to the public posts. Welcome to the blogosphere, Bart!

Well, here's to hoping that the NT Blog and the NT Pod don't go that route! ;-)
Mark, did you get a chance to read (or browse through) Ehrman's Mythicist book? I would be very interested to hear/read your impressions of it.

Entertainment Weekly country music writer Grady Smith got some flak for not including enough mainstream country music in his top 10 best country albums of 2013.
His response to the criticism may prove to be more popular than the list itself.
Smith's YouTube supercut of chart-topping country songs all being about trucks (Chevys specifically), booze, and girls in jeans has nearly 100,000 views in just 3 days. It's also made the rounds on Reddit, Gawker and Buzzfeed.
On his YouTube video description, he says he hopes "country fans will stop settling for this derivative junk." And hopes for better music in 2014.
Check out the video below. What do you think? Is mainstream country on the radio derivative junk?
Smith is certainly not the only writer to comment on the state of mainstream country.
Our own Peter Cooper weighed in on the year in country music with his piece Country's New Rules last month.
Cooper's take on all the country songs about trucks and partying:
"I am mandating a two-year — no, make that three-year — ban on writing or recording songs about partying in fields and/or congregating in, on or around pickup trucks. Anyone who enjoys these songs has plenty of them around to hear for the next 36 months. Songwriters who attempt to defy this ban will be forced to sit in a small, enclosed space with Kris Kristofferson and Guy Clark while Kris and Guy recite their lyrics aloud and make groaning noises. Performers who break this rule will be excommunicated from "country" music and made to work in a newly created genre, "Goober Rock." After three years, everyone can go back to the 2013 norm, but I have a feeling they won't."

A workhorse in alpine playgrounds.
Arc'teryx designed the Beta Men's Beta AR Jacket as a backcountry workhorse for alpinists who like to take a beating from the elements without sacrificing performance. This jacket features Gore-Tex Pro Shell three-layer construction, with the proprietary, tightly-woven N40p-X shell fabric that includes a DWR treatment to slough off rainfall while you romp up 14ers or get caught in a snowstorm at the top. The Beta AR is reinforced in hard-wear areas like the shoulders and arms with N80p-X nylon so it will handle pack straps and ice encounters season after season.
Fully taped low-bulk seams and WaterTight zippers will block out any moisture you encounter. When it starts puking, take shelter under the helmet-compatible DropHood with its draft-blocking separate collar, and stuff your hands in the two hand pockets, which are placed high so they play well with hip-belts and harnesses. Underarm zip vents let you cool off without sacrificing any protection from the weather. The storm will pass (it always does) and you will reign supreme on the mountain top.
- Gore-Tex Pro Shell membrane (3-layer)
- N80p-X and N40p-X shell fabric
- Fully taped seams with low-bulk microseam allowances
- WaterTight zippers
- Laminated underarm zip vents
- Helmet-compatible DropHood with separate high collar and laminated visor
- Die-cut hook-and-loop cuff tabs
- 2 high hand pockets and 1 internal laminated pocket
- Generous fit with no-lift gusseted underarms and articulated elbows

Will this jacket work well in the Sierra Nevada, Yosemite National Park area? Looking for something to use in our high country and rain season. Mostly for long day hikes and backpacking trips.

Thanks for the question! You could definitely use this jacket in that region. Depending on the time of year, you'll want to tweak your insulating layers.

Which year is this jacket produced?(Color: Black Size: S)
Is just a shell or is there any insulation. Im going to tropical area where it rains randomly so no insulation needed.
Evan L
This is not insulated.
Jared Downs
This is a great jacket but if you're heading to a tropical location, you might want to consider a jacket that has Gore-Tex Active instead of the Gore-Tex Pro. Pro is great and durable but the Active will breath better an that is what you'll want for tropical locations.
Try looking at these items:

I have put this jacket to the test over the last several months, driving rain and snow around Maroon Bells in CO, skiing, and some climbing. I feel it is particularly suited for climbing, with the integrated removable foam in the waist to keep the jacket from riding up under your harness. Of course with the Gore Pro Shell construction it will keep you warm and dry no matter what!

Matt, I'm the same height, but have about 5-7 lbs on you. How's the fit? Are the sleeves and length long enough? Medium tall sizes are hard to come by, and I'm finding that most mediums are designed for the 5'9" crowd.
Betcha can't beat it ... EVER.

Light, extremely durable, great athletic fit, pit venting, and FULLY waterproof. This jacket lives up to the hype in every way. The best go to shell out there in my opinion.

I got this jacket recently and have used it a couple times already and am impressed already. I wore it skiing and it did great while on the slopes. The pit zips were great for the warmer temperatures. This seems like it will be a go to jacket for skiing, hiking, climbing, backpacking, etc. I'm 6' 180 lbs and got a large and fits well with some layers underneath.

The Beta AR is the most versatile jacket i own. It can be worn 4 in all 4 seasons and it will protect you in all conditions. The perfect outer layering piece. It fits great at the waist, for comfort. The pockets are in the right place if you have a hipbelt on. The adjustable hood is super simple and makes the jacket perfect if wearing a helmet or not. I am 6 feet 190lbs and the large fits great with a down sweater underneath. If you are looking for the one waterproof shell that you can wear skiing, backpacking, around town this is it.

I have found the Beta AR Jacket to be all that Arcteryx is known for! In the short time that I have had the jacket I have used it very heavily. The quality construction is evident in the stitching, articulated shoulders,elbow and the zippers. If you are looking for a BOMB proof garment that can deliver when you want it too then take this jacket with you on your next adventure. Great with the a mid layer fleece for the colder days. Jacket Medium; my build 67" 170lbs.
Steve Tam
Solid Workhorse
Over the past year I've reached for this jacket more than I thought I would. Originally purchased for ski touring, it has ended up being the main jacket used from rainy day hikes with the kids to windy days around town....hence the All Around (AR) in the jacket name.
I'm a heavy sweater and usually climb without a shell. While I still take the Beta AR off to climb, I don't have to take it off as soon as the skin track turns upwards. It breathes well and the pit zips help dump a lot of heat too.
I appreciate that there are not a ton of pockets on this jacket as well. It's a very functional technical shell that is really comfortable. Arc'teryx did an exceptional job with the fit. The 3D shoulder pattern they came up with offers exceptional range of motion...you won't feel your arms hang up as a result. In fact you could probably do a gymnastics routine and not feel any restriction in this jacket.
The Gore Tex Pro is a little loud upon arrival (makes a crinkling noise) but as I've stuffed the jacket in my pack, over the past year, it makes less noise.
If you're looking for a shell that can handle just about any type of weather, the Beta AR is tough to beat.

This jacket literally can do it all. I've worn this in rain, snow, sleet, sun, and everything in between. Great if you sweat a lot. Keeps the wind off you. I use it for skiing, fishing, hiking...everything. Arc'teryx product is sometimes expensive, but worth every penny. It's kind of like buying new tires for your car...I hate buying tires because it's so damn expensive, but when a storm hits and there's 6 inches of snow on the ground, I'm always psyched I bought them. Same with this jacket, expensive, but when all hell breaks loose and I know I'll weather the storm in this jacket, it completely changes the perspective, and also the experience. Fit is athletic, arms aren't too short. It's perfect.
Ky Lewis
I'm 5'5'' and 140 lbs, I currently have the Small in this, thinking about returning it for an XS. The arms are too long and the chest a little bit big but the fit is good everywhere else, . Will I be happier with an XS or should I keep the S?
Geoff Conner
Hey Ky,
Height and weight aren't going to be the best measurements for jacket sizing. Chest measurement, torso length, and sleeve length are going to be better indicators. That being said, The XS is going to be 2 inches smaller in the chest and one inch shorter in the sleeve length.

This was my first piece of Arc'teryx gear that I ever acquire and this review is of a 2012 version. They've since updated the fabric of this jacket to make it a bit smoother and breath upwards of 20% better. With that said, Even with the older version I haven't had any significant issues with even the older fabric, so those of you looking to purchase this piece now should have no issues with the face fabric or breathability.
Being in the Southwest I don't have the opportunities to beat this thing up on a daily basis sadly. I've used it every opportunity I could but I like to really tune my kit to the conditions and thankfully I have a nice quiver of gear to choose from. I can conclude that the Beta AR has become my most trusted and relied upon hardshell for just about anything. I've fiddled with some lightweight shells (Marmot Super Mica) and if I'm going somewhere where I'd be SOL if things got nasty, this thing goes in my pack. The feature set of the Beta AR allow it to be used in just about any scenario making it a super versatile jacket.
The cut of this jacket is long enough that it has no problems staying tucked into a harness and the face fabric around the waist is of a low enough denier that you're not bulking up. The high wear areas are burlier so you can strap on a heavy pack without worry. The pocket placement is flawless with a pack or harness. The hood easily adjusted to your head or helmet equally. Visibility is not impaired or limited.
And of course the thing is totally waterproof. Breathability is surprisingly well for as much hate as hardshells get these days. And if things get a bit too stuffy the pit-zips are long enough to dump serious heat in a hurry should you need too. The cut will allow you to layer if you size according to the sizing chart, so follow that and you won't be let down.
This jacket will not disappoint. Period..

Hello, I am 5'9" and weigh 163. Do you think I need a large if I am going to layer with a midweight Merino baselayer? Looking at the Beta AR
Steven Jones
A medium will be fine. A mid weight merino is still very thin, though still very good for insulation, and the Beta AR runs a tad big. To be sure you might check your measurements with the size chart.
Late answer but this may help others looking at sizing. I am 5'10", 165, 32" waist and 42" chest. My shoulders are also a little bit more beefy than say a runner or other cario-oriented person's. Every Arc'Teryx piece I've tried on is tight around the armpit area in size medium. Large always fits fairly well, with a bit more arm length than I want (32-34 dress shirt arm length). With the newer fit system they use, the large still hugs my body closely enough to be functional, and not look too wide. Hope this helps those who are gym goers as well as outdoor enthusiasts.
nicholas silva
Bodybuilder problems! I tried a large on at REI with a fleece and a down vest on and it fit perfect. I also have large chest issues.
Travis Wallen
I do too haha - 5'6", 175 lbs here and the Large suits me very well, lets me layer up even with my down puffy, and I don't feel like I'm swimming in it without the puffy.

I am interested in a Beta AR jacket and am curious about if there is a difference between the outlet version and the full price one?
Arthur Debowski
This year they are using a new version of Pro shell which is more durable and more breathable (they got rid of the oil barrier layer and made a sort of sandwich construction of the ePTFE membrane). It should be 22% more breathable according to Gore.
Wayne Christoffersen
Typically there really isn't much different between the full priced models and the outlet products other than color since that's about all that changes from model years. However, in this case Gore-Tex has actually updated their Pro-Shell and made it 22% more breathable while still making it more durable. So in this case the current full price model will have that difference over the past season models, and that is why we gave it a new item number, instead of keeping all model years on the same product page and just change the price for the specific options.

Im just under 5'10" with approx a 41" chest and weight 178 lbs. What would be the best fit to layer either a atom lt or montbell alpine light? also has the fit changed from last years model?
Fit is the same and has a generous amount of room for the dimensions Arc'Teryx states. I bought a Medium and a Large in their "athletic fit" Beta AR. My dimensions : 5'10 185 lbs. 42 -chest; 33 -arms; 34 -waist; 16.5 -neck . The Large was huge in the chest and arms and could fit a full 800 fill down coat under it. I returned the Large and kept the Medium which I think fits way better in the arms and chest. However, the Medium is slightly constricting when you put big layers under it, so I think the Large would give you the guaranteed room and movement you might want with those coats underneath.
What has changed for 2013, other than the...
What has changed for 2013, other than the price?
The Gore-Tex material has changed. Not sure exactly whats different but I know that now its called the N80p-X and N40p-X shell fabric where-as before it was called something different. It's also 2.3oz lighter than the previous model which I think probably comes from the new material. The new Gore-Tex Pro which touts a 28% improvement in "breathability", improved ruggedness, and more durable water and windproofness than last years Pro Shell product. There might be more changes but those are the ones I'm thinking changed the price. Hope this helped.
Nick Shuey
In the 2013 Beta AR Jacket, the material crosses over to GORE-TEX's new N80p-x Pro Shell. Same material used in the Alpha SV and and Alpha LT, whilst serving a greater purpose of being an all around jacket. Hope this has helped.
I had the alpha SV with the new face fabric. It's much quieter than the older fabric they used. Also if you look close the older material has these little squares all over and can catch on tree branches and all. The new stuff is snag resistant. It's very smooth. That said I went with the older beta AR

- Heat the oil in a frying pan, then fry the onion until golden. Add the carrots and all but a sprinkling of thyme. Pour in the wine, 150ml water and the tomatoes, then sprinkle in the stock cubes and simmer for 10 mins. Tip in the can of lentils, including their juice, then cover and simmer for another 10 mins until the carrots still have a bit of bite and the lentils are pulpy.
- Meanwhile, boil the sweet potatoes for 15 mins until tender, drain well, then mash with the butter and season to taste. Pile the lentil mixture into a pie dish, spoon the mash on top, then sprinkle over the cheese and remaining thyme. The pie can now be covered and chilled for 2 days, or frozen for up to a month.
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Cook for 20 mins if cooking straight away, or for 40 mins from chilled, until golden and hot all the way through. Serve with broccoli.

Comments, questions and tips
Hmm, wet, bland, took longer to cook than advised, vegetables need to be cut to half the size suggested. You'll need 50% more sweet potato to manage anything approaching a topping. Get a real cookbook that you have to pay for - it will be an investment - your recipes might work and might even taste of something
As I was cooking for 6 people, I used two cans of tomatoes, more onion and added a can of kidney beans. It went down a treat with everyone except one, who wasn't a fan of the sweet potato! Next time I will use some normal potatoes as even though the sweet potatoes add a lovely taste, they make the meal about £1 more expensive. I also think I will used dried thyme, as it will be easier to whip up at late notice. Lovely dish, and will be enjoying again.
Amazing recipe! We're not vegetarians but fancied trying something new. You would struggle to tell there isn't meat in this and my husband and I scoffed a huge portion each. I used dried lentils so used lots more water but just added it as needed. This also meant it was cooking for about an hour before it was ready to go in the oven but this wasn't a problem. I also added some garlic, also a teaspoon of marmite for added richness and a bayleaf in with the mixture whilst is was cooking on the hob. I will be telling everyone about this recipe
I absolutely LOVE this dish. We tried it with the sweet potato (which my kids are not particularly fond of), then I tried it with a combo of sweet and regular potato and finally I tried it with just regular potato on its own. All work great, in my opinion, but my kids prefer the regular potato best. The lentils and the wine make this dish so "meaty" that I think it is the perfect meal for those that are reluctant to go without meat. Totally dee-lish!
Delicious! Having been a veggie for 13 years I'm always looking for new dishes. I read the other comments first and made these changes: added mushrooms, quorn mince, 2 cloves garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic salt, salt and pepper. Only used a splash of water and a little bit of lentil juice. Added 1 tspn paprika to the mash. Best homemade meal I've had in ages.
Made this tonight for tea, only change i made was to add 1 clove of garlic and only 100mls water plus for 5 mins cooked uncovered when on the hob. Well my boyfriend who doesnt like his meals without meat enjoyed the whole dish and and even said that he felt healthy after eating it!! Ive worked it out to be all of your 5 a day portions when you make it for 4 people. I will def be making this again and recommend you try too. Was really tasty and easy to make!
I have so missed red wine casseroles since becoming vegetarian, but this is better than all of them combined! Oh yes. The filling is lovely and rich and contrasts well with the sweetness of the potato. I did not find it bland at all. I did alter the recipe a little - I cut the carrots smaller than suggested because they are a hard vegetable and added just enough water at the end to make sure it wouldn't dry out while cooking. It was a hit. Plus, it felt so sophisticated to be cooking with wine! I can't wait to make this again.
Just made this for dinner and me, my husband, my 3 1/2 year old AND my 10 month old ALL liked and ate it, this has never happened before. Lovely recipe, I added garlic with the onion and 100ml of water instead of 150ml, I cut the carrots really small and cooked for slightly longer, it was delicious! Will be doing this again. Also have enough for lunch tomorrow left over.
I made the same adjustments plus a bay leaf while cooking in the pan and used grated Parmesan instead of mature cheddar for topping. I also put sprigs of thyme in the mixture while cooking instead of chopping then removed it at the end, same flavour without tiny woody bits everywhere! My 3 year old loved it and it was a big hit with the meat-loving other half too. It's been a few years since I made this, why?! It's great!
Really, really scrummy. I'm not a great cook and it turned out really well. I used about 100ml of water (rather than the 150ml suggested) as I took into account the previous comments and also that it seemed rather too liquidy. My partner, who is a confirmed carnivore and hates vegetables, really loved it but thought there were too many carrots (I personally loved the carrots - which did still have a bit of bite). Next time, I think I won't reduce the amount of carrot but chop it a bit smaller.
I'm looking forward to making this recipe again.

Tip: chicken breasts
You can make this dish using 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of thighs. Simply cut them in half and reduce the simmering time to 15 mins.
- Heat the oil in a large, wide pan with a lid, add the chicken, then fry quickly until lightly coloured. Add the onion and ginger, then fry for a further 2 mins.
- Add 150ml water, the saffron, honey and carrots, season, then stir well. Bring to the boil, cover tightly, then simmer for 30 mins until the chicken is tender. Uncover and increase the heat for about 5 mins to reduce the sauce a little. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Comments, questions and tips
I tried it the original way without any deviation (aside from turmeric and not saffron) and as the commenters said below it was a bit too bland. Adding the lemon was very necessary. I tried it again tonight adding chicken stock and a healthy squeeze of harissa and a tsp of soy sauce. That did the trick! It was a bit too spicy for my family, but that was my doing with the heavy squeeze of harissa. You may want to start with 1 tsp of harissa and then add to taste. As I like spicy food that was not a problem. Also, the soy sauce gives it a bit more depth. I also used an actual terra cotta tajine and the chicken was so tender it broke apart with my wooden stirring spoon! Best wishes.
I made this for supper tonight. After reading a few comments I added chicken stock instead of water to give it a good flavour.also plenty of black pepper and a little salt. I also added the saffron, which was lovely and used less honey than stated. I did not have any parsley so I chopped some fresh coriander and threw that in, along with a squeeze of lime. Overall lovely flavour. I popped mine in the oven. Very easy to make and tasty. Would make again sooo easy. Yum yum!
Did this for the first time last week, then again when mum and dad came over for Mothering Sunday, it went down really well both times.
Quick and easy to prepare, the chicken is really tender. I think when I do it again, I'll use a bit more turmeric, ' a pinch' is a bit of a vague quantity!
I can see this being a firm favourite, not only for taste but also ease of preparation.
At first I was disappointed with the recipe considering it was under the 80 best ever recipes.... Then I added coriander instead of parsley (as that was what I had). I squeezed in some lemon juice as someone had suggested and all of a sudden it lifted all the flavours!!! I did add a pinch of both turmeric and saffron and also made alongside it a quorn version for my veggie daughter. I served it with brown basmatic mixed with a little wild rice.

Buccaneer Track and Field Wraps Up Competition at the adidas Raleigh Relays
Saturday, March 27, 2004RALEIGH, N.C. (Mar. 27, 2004) - Junior Brad Yewer (Newbury, England) set a personal best in the 5000 meters of 14:28.15 for an 11th-place finish at the adidas Raleigh relays this weekend in the Paul Derr stadium on the North Carolina State campus. For the women in the distance races, sophomore Christine Ward (Candler, N.C.), also recorded a personal best in the 5000 meters. Her time of 18:32.44 gave her 13th place in the race. The track team had several strong performances with many athletes' continuing to break personal records. In the 800 meter invitational, junior Kim Simmons (Knoxville, Tenn.) finished ninth running a personal best of 2:11.76. Freshman Joshua Hicks (Riceville, Tenn.) also improved this weekend tallying a personal best in the 1500 meters. Hicks finished third in the morning race with a time of 4:00.26. In the short sprints, junior Chantelle Vernon (Markham, Ontario) recorded a time of 12.26 in the 100 meters which placed her 29th overall. In the field events, senior Kristin Truman (Johnson City, Tenn.) completed an 11.99m jump in the triple jump competition for a 13th-place finish. "We improved upon our performance from last week," commented head coach David E. Walker. "It was a solid outing for the team. We had hoped for a regional qualifying mark in at least one event, but have some areas to improve upon. This meet is good preparation going into next weekend." Next weekend the Buccaneers will continue regular season competition as they travel to Boiling Springs, N.C. on April 3 to participate in the Gardner-Webb Duels.

"This is a great honor for Wendy and we're fortunate to have her representing COSLA and the State of Indiana at this important meeting of global library leaders," said Roberta L. Brooker, State Librarian of Indiana. "Wendy has been a valuable leader at the Indiana State Library for over seven years and her extensive knowledge of implementing statewide library services will surely be valued by meeting attendees."
The BMGF's Global Libraries program supports efforts to supply and maintain free public access to computers and the Internet in ten countries around the world. According to the BMGF, in today's digital age, quick and easy access to information and knowledge can transform the lives of individuals and strengthen communities. Yet, approximately 5 billion people—almost 90 percent of the world's population—do not have access to computers connected to the Internet.
Wendy Knapp was promoted to Associate Director of Statewide Services for the Indiana State Library in August 2012. She received her MLS from Indiana University in 2002, and joined the State Library in 2005. Between 2005 and 2007, she served as the planning consultant and e-rate state coordinator for the Library Development Office. In 2007, she was promoted to head the newly-created Professional Development Office where she oversaw the implementation of the new administrative rule for certification and standards as well as created multiple professional development opportunities for Hoosier librarians. Prior to joining the State Library, Wendy worked at the Indianapolis Public Library and IUPUI University Library.
About the Indiana State Library
The Indiana State Library was established in 1825 to provide library services to Indiana's state governmental officials and employees. Since that time, the responsibilities of the State Library have expanded to provide services to all citizens of Indiana. Just as the Library of Congress serves as the historical repository for our nation, the State Library is responsible for collecting and preserving all types of information and data about the state of Indiana.
Everyone is welcome to visit the State Library. Our professional staff is available to assist with research questions, offer expertise on a variety of subject matters, including genealogy, and provide general guidance and information about materials in the Library's collections.

Pronounced: da-SA-ti-nib
Classification: Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor
Dasatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It works by blocking proteins that cause the rapid growth of certain types of leukemia cells. This helps the bone marrow to start making normal blood cells again.
Dasatinib comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day, with or without food. Take dasatinib at around the same times every day. Do not crush or break dasatinib tablets.
Dasatinib is broken down in the body by an enzyme called CYP3A4. This enzyme is affected by many other medications. Taking dasatinib with other medications can lead to either higher or lower levels in the blood of one or both of the medications. Be sure to inform your healthcare team of any medications or supplements you are taking, even over the counter medications and vitamins.
Over the counter antacids (like Maalox, Tums, Rolaids) can also interfere with dasatinib. If you need to take an antacid, it is recommended that it be taken 2 hours before or 2 hours after the dose of dasatinib.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Dasatinib. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4 F), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
For more suggestions, read the Neutropenia Tip Sheet.
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion. Read the anemia tip sheet for more information.
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nosebleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If your platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Read the thrombocytopenia tip sheet for more information.
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods that absorbs fluid and can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange and grapefruit sections, boiled potatoes, white rice and products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration. Read Low Fiber Diet for Diarrhea for more tips.
While on cancer treatment you may need to adjust your schedule to manage fatigue. Plan times to rest during the day and conserve energy for more important activities. Exercise can help combat fatigue; a simple daily walk with a friend can help. Talk to your healthcare team and see OncoLink's section on fatigue for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.
Your doctor or nurse can recommend medication and other strategies to relieve pain. Also view OncoLink's page on pain management.
Visit OncoLink's section on Nutrition for tips on dealing with this side effect. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services.
Dasatinib has been reported to cause fluid retention. This may result in generalized swelling, bloating of the abdomen (ascites), fluid development in the lungs (pleural effusion), or heart failure. Notify your healthcare team if you develop swelling in your arms, legs, feet or abdomen, unexpected weight gain, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, or if you develop a dry cough.

Ana has declined a wild card into the main draw of the Rogers Cup presented by National Bank in Montreal, which begins on Sunday. The 2006 champion had her initial request turned down several weeks ago, but tournament director Eugene Lapierre contacted Ana's management company on Tuesday with the new invitation.
Explaining her decision, Ana said: "I would have loved to have played in Montreal, but I was quite hurt by the comments of Mr Lapierre that I was shown in The Montreal Gazette recently.
"I don't think his comments were necessary, and they contradicted everything he had told my management previously: that I was not getting a wild card because I am not Canadian.
"The fact that my original request was turned down isn't really an issue: I would have been happy to play qualifying, but I felt that they kind of stepped over the line with this interview, making public our correspondence and even misrepresenting it. Unfortunately I don't feel welcome at this tournament.
"Anyway, I am playing New Haven in a week or so, and I am currently at my third straight event (Cincinnati). Even though I haven't played many matches, the training and travel take their toll, and I think this is the right decision to make, for several reasons.
"I'm sorry to anyone who was hoping to see me play in Canada this year. I'd like to thank the fans in Montreal who supported me during the two times I played there. I really enjoyed it."

U13 Iowa Girls Win First State Championship
Last Updated on Monday, 01 July 2013 12:02
The Iowa Rush GU13 Nike team captured their first Iowa State Cup title this past weekend and will join the Iowa Rush GU16 and GU18 teams at the US Youth Region II Midwest Championship, June 22-26 in their home state of Iowa.
In pool play, the GU13 team faced VSA and came away with a 3-1 victory. The Rush then played a strong game against Ames finishing with a score of 6-1. In the Sunday match, the Rush came up with two goals and allowing none against JUSC sending them to the semi-finals against FC United.
In the semi-final game, the team had a calm style of play, possessing the ball against FC United and finished with a 5-0 score advancing to the State Cup championship against West Des Moines.
Coach Nuno Ferreira said, "This State Cup was the culmination of a two year cycle with the girls. Throughout this time, I have been truly impressed with the commitment level, work ethic and character of this group. The girls picked "EARNED NOT GIVEN" as their motto and for the last months they have been walking (or sprinting) the talk at every practice session. From the start the group set the goal of being the best team in the state of Iowa in their age group, and their first State Cup tournament was the right place to prove it. They did it in a very convincing way during group play and the semi-finals. In the final, we faced a strong West Des Moines team. During the first half we had most of the possession and created some good chances but couldn't finish and we were down 1-0 at the half. Our half-time talk was kind of intense, as I tried to convey to the girls that we needed to be much sharper in executing our game plan for this specific match. The girls response was absolutely tremendous, they turned the game around and we ended up comfortably winning 3-1. The girls now move to Regionals and have the opportunity to test themselves against the best in the Region. The fact that Iowa will be hosting Regionals this time only makes it more special, and the girls are definitely looking forward to representing Iowa and the Rush family!"
Members of the team are: Kelsey Lyons, Julia Johnson, Taylor Peterson, Laina Routson, Elli Teeple, Megan Gray, Riley Whitaker, Alexis Legg, Anna Forsyth, Sydney Uhl, Marisa Smith, Lizzie Doering, Chloee Kooker, Rylee Tilton, Hailey Osburn and Eva Steckelberg.
The GU13 team was coached by Nuno Ferreira.

The question of when to wean a baby has plagued new mothers for centuries. Here's Almanac advice from 1881!
- When a child has shown any tendency to diarrhea, or is delicate and puny, he should not be weaned until after his second summer.
- However, sometimes the mother furnishes an insufficient supply of milk for the child, which may be known by his constant hunger. In such case, if all his teeth are through—eight in each jaw—he may be either entirely or partly weaned, though summer is approaching.
Much has changed today, though the need remains! Here's modern medical advice on how to wean your baby.
And see our famous "Best Days to Wean" calendar.

Morning all! Some days you just want to shout in the morning and make sure everyone is as awake as you are.
As many of you know, Sheila Clover English (CEO, Circle of Seven Productions) and I wrote a book several months ago. We both do a lot of workshops and panels, so we took all the questions we were asked and answered them in fun, little book, Marketing, Book Trailers and Author Etiquette in a Nutshell. It's for new and
used not so new authors.
Sheila, being the Über talented person she is, had a book trailer made for us. May I present the video for Marketing, Book Trailers and Author Etiquette in a Nutshell.
This has certainly been a year of new experiences for me. I even have an author's page on Amazon. It all would have tickled my mom. But I really think Sheila should have used me as an actress in the video. Then I could have joined SAG (Screen Actor's Guild) and got a page on IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base). Hey, a girl's gotta dream.
ADDED BONUS! Just leave a comment, "I'd like your book" and I'll pick one winner to receive a free ebook in the format of your choice.
Bottom Line: I'm now working on my follow up book, How to Keep a Clean House While Traveling and Doing a Bunch of Other Stuff. Just kidding…I hate doing housework.

As with anything, it all depends on how cheap is dirt cheap. Lincoln is not a bad brand and most people who own something blue, I'm sure would buy it if the deal was right. The decision is yours
