Interpretive Handbook
89213 :
Estrogen/Progesterone Receptor, Semi-Quantitative Immunohistochemistry, Manual
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The steroid hormone receptors, estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR), are commonly used in the management of women with breast cancer. ER and PR status provide an indication of prognosis and of the potential to benefit from hormonal therapy. Generally, ER/PR-positive tumors are more likely to respond to endocrine therapy and have a better prognosis, stage-for-stage, than receptor-negative tumors.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
The test is most frequently used in breast carcinomas when decisions on hormonal therapy must be made.
While the test can be performed on any formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue, it is infrequently used for non-breast cancer specimens.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Immunoperoxidase-stained slides are examined microscopically by the consulting anatomic pathologist and interpreted as negative (<1% reactive cells), focally positive (1%-10% reactive cells), or positive (>10% reactive cells).
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The performance and quality of immunohistochemical (IHC) stains for formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue depends critically on proper fixation of tissue specimens. IHC staining of steroid hormone receptors is especially sensitive to fixation conditions (see Specimen Required for specific handling instructions).
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Negative: <1% reactive cells
Focal positive: 1-10% reactive cells
Positive: >10% reactive cells
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Hi, my name is Jamie. I live in St. Louis, MO with my husband and four kids, ages 11-18. I was a stay-at-home mom while the kids were younger, but now I'm doing what I went to school for. I studied diet and nutrition, and considered becoming a doctor in that area, but God had a different plan. A few months before I finished my undergraduate degree, my husband and I got pregnant. Our son (the 18-year-old) is the happiest accident of our lives. We wouldn't change a thing. But when my kids got a little older, I realized I had way too much free time.
After the birth of each child, I worked extremely hard to get the weight back off, focusing on my diet and exercise. My friends always complimented me on how "easily" I lost the weight from the babies. They didn't really believe me that the weight didn't just melt off after the baby was gone. And then my first friend got pregnant. About six months after she had her daughter, she called me late one evening, crying and a little hysterical.
"I can't lose the weight! I'm going to be fat forever!" she'd cried.
That was the first moment I realized I could do something with my degree. I promised to help her lose the weight, and she laughed and made some comment about how I hadn't even had to work to lose the weight. I assured her I could help, and so she told me if I could help her, she'd pay me as her own personal trainer, with a 100% money-back guarantee. I laughed at that, but agreed.
Within two months, she had lost the baby weight, and then some.
That was how I became a personal trainer. I rely completely on my friends' recommendations, and those of family members as well, but I'm really very good at it. I'm usually a nice person–at least I think so–but apparently I'm an intimidating trainer, which is good. They listen to me.
That's enough about my personal story. You're probably wondering why I started this site. I just wanted to give local businesses the props they deserve. It's not enough to leave them nice Yelp reviews, though I do that too. I really believe that if a company goes above and beyond, they should get that much back in return.
I will only ever write about companies that I have personally booked business with, and usually it will be a company I have worked with recently. I know things can change quickly in the business world, and I want my articles to be pertinent for the company that exists today. Thanks for reading, and I hope I can be of service to you! If you'd like to hire me as a personal trainer, by the way, simply leave me a message in the comments!

Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center is recognized throughout the Piedmont and western North Carolina as the place to seek treatment for serious illness or injury. In addition, the Wake Forest School of Medicine trains doctors who will serve our community—and others around the world—in the future.
Yet research—perhaps the least understood dimension of what we do—is really the distinguishing trait of an academic medical center.
That research takes many forms—from basic science laboratories to clinical trials of new drugs to population studies that contribute to health policy debate and identify new subjects for further investigation.
The Role of Philanthropy
The mission of the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs is to raise private financial support for Wake Forest Baptist to enhance patient care, education and biomedical research.
You may know already a specific disease or health problem for which you would like to provide support for ongoing research. You may just be innately curious and eager to learn about opportunities to help researchers at Wake Forest Baptist.
Whether the problem is cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis or a host of other human ailments, the key to solving the riddle behind it is research. The path to scientific discovery is rarely straight, but it is a journey Wake Forest Baptist is committed to taking. It is why we need your support in tandem with other resources like the National Institutes of Health and other governmental agencies, corporations and foundations.
You Can Make a Difference
A gift to help fund research is a gift to invest in the future and in new knowledge with the potential to change lives.

More than 100,000 patients who suffer from severe aortic stenosis, a condition that restricts blood flow from the heart to the body, are ineligible for open-heart valve replacement surgery. Today, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center announced the enrollment of the first three patients in North Carolina to receive transcatheter aortic-valve implantation (TAVI) as part of the Medtronic CoreValve® U.S. Clinical Trial.
Researchers at the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and colleagues reported today on a new advance in tissue engineering. The team is the first in the world to use patients' own cells to build tailor-made urinary tubes and successfully replace damaged tissue.

MLS Playoffs
October 29 has been a successful date in Dynamo history. The men in orange have played two playoff games, winning one and tying the other. Let's take a look back at those two historic matches:
October 29, 2006 vs. Chivas USA
After falling to Chivas USA 2-1 in the first leg of their Western Conference semifinal series, the Dynamo had their backs against the wall, as they headed back to Robertson Stadium. The Dynamo and Chivas USA had battled four times during the regular season, with the two teams splitting the series with two draws and a win a piece.
Down a goal in the series, things turned in the Dynamo's favor in the second half. Eight minutes after Chivas midfielder Juan Francisco Palencia picked up a red card, Dwayne De Rosario was taken down in the penalty box and the Dynamo were awareded a penalty kick. Brad Davis stepped up the spot and chipped it over the out-stretched arm of future national team goalkeeper Brad Guzan.
With the series apparently headed to overtime, Brian Ching out-jumped a Chivas defender to head home the winning goal to send Houston to its first Western Conference final.
October 29, 2009 at Seattle Sounders
After trading Dwayne De Rosario to Toronto FC in the off-season, the Dynamo rebounded well, finishing the regular season tied with the LA Galaxy atop the Western Conference. After losing the regular season series with LA, the Dynamo were the No. 2 seed in the playoffs, and squared off with expansion club Seattle Sounders in the conference semifinal.
As the No. 2 seed, the Dynamo went to Seattle for the first match, where the Sounders held an impressive 7-2-6 record during their inaugural season in MLS.
In a hard-fought battle, between two clubs that had met three times earlier that season, the Dynamo earned a 0-0 draw, putting them in a comfortable position heading into the return leg at Robertson Stadium. The closest either team came to scoring was in the 14th minute, when Seattle defender Pat Ianni headed a shot to the back post, and Houston midfielder Brian Mullan, guarding the post, leaped and cleared the ball off the line with a header.
The Dynamo defeated Seattle a week later at Robertson Stadium, setting up the infamous Western Conference final match with the LA Galaxy.
When the Houston Dynamo take the field on Wednesday in the Knockout Round playoff match, there will be a familiar face in the middle of the pitch. It was announced on Sunday, that Baldomero Toledo will be the center referee for the match against the Chicago Fire. Frank Anderson and Ian Anderson will patrol the sidelines, while Jorge Gonzalez will be the fourth official.
This will be the fifth Dynamo game of 2012 that Toledo has officiated. Houston is 0-1-3 in the previous four matches, including draws against the New England Revolution (5/19), Toronto FC (8/20) and Sporting Kansas City (9/14), and a loss to the Seattle Sounders (3/23).
In his career, Toledo has officiated 146 MLS games. He has averaged 25 fouls called per game and 3.4 yellow cards per game. Toledo has issued 48 red cards in his career and has given 52 penalty kicks.
In his four Dynamo games this season, Toledo has called two penalties against Houston, one in New England and one in Seattle.

Polish describes how smoothly the facets of a diamond have been polished, whether any marks are visible from the polishing wheel, and how defined the edges of each facet are. Since Blue Nile defines cut grade based on the depth and table percentages, a diamond can have an ideal cut, despite the polish grade. Polish marks are almost always invisible to the unaided eye, but they have a slight effect on the overall brilliance. For the highest grade of polish, look for an ideal (ID), excellent (EX), or very good (VG) AGSL graded diamond, and an excellent (EX) or very good (VG) GIA graded diamond. Avoid diamonds with polish grades of fair (F) or poor (P), as the quality of their polish may affect the brilliance of the diamond.

Crazy Skyscraper Theme Park is a Vertical Amusement for New York City
As if New York City didn't already have enough attractions, why not throw a skyscraper theme park into the mix? New York-based Architect Ju-Hyun Kim proposes stacking up what is usually a rather land-intensive endeavor into a vertical tower, complete with thrilling rides and gravity-defying drops. Unlike most amusement parks, which require a long drive and a massive parking lot, a vertical urban version could cut down greatly on emissions. Since it's in the heart of the city on a small footprint, this park benefits from the density of the city and could be easily reached by public transit.
Normal theme parks stretch over acres of land with sprawling roller coasters, miles of walkways, and thousands of parking spots. Visitors to the park usually have to drive or travel long distances to get there, racking up carbon emissions along the way. By condensing the theme park into a much smaller site in the heart of a dense, urban center, its environmental impact is reduced and instead of driving hours to get to the theme park, visitors can take the subway or bus.
Vegas and other cities already have theme park rides and adventures on top of their buildings, and Ju-Hyan's Vertical Theme Park, just takes it one step further, advancing on existing technology to combine all of the rides into one cohesive, albeit crazy and intertwined tower. The tower would include a flume ride, sky promenade, city diving, a roller coaster, a ferris wheel, restaurants, a vertical carousel, and a space theater. We'd really like to see the addition of some good energy efficient technologies like hybrid regenerative breaking and renewable energy, but all in all, it's an interesting concept that we'd like to see come to fruition one day.

My comment could be sexist to both genders. We all know how egotistical architects can be. Today's architects are not concerned with the general welfare of human beings and practical reality. There concern is commissions and whats physically possible. Criticism is the only conceivable way to spread a sense of responsibility among them. And the best way to criticize is to profane and joke.
January 10, 2011 at 2:03 pm
Lazyreader, what an asinine, pointless (and not to mention sexist!) comment.
Interesting idea, but overall would most likely be highly unsuccessful. The bungee jumping in such an environment just seems outright dangerous.

holcim, nice spam, thanks, it's an interesting contest, but still spam here.
i'm lost on how this is sustainable other than small footprint so it's wasting less real estate, and the related fuel to transport folks to it. i only still read inhabitat for the interesting design stuff, i go elsewhere for green now.
on a less complainy note, frelling neato. the roller coaster indoors at the mall of america is small but pretty trippy, now imagine flying through several other rides a few feet from you, or a ferris wheel atop a sky scraper.

For centuries mankind has erected very tall towers that some would argue are Freudian in nature. I assume the architect here was a woman, desperate to make it in a mans world. Because it looks like a tampon. The buildings next to it look like the logo to some evil computer company. I can just picture riding a light cycle through Tron.

Debate: Do abstinence until marriage programs work?
Ok studies shown from the link below prove that the program is not only ineffective but unethical, and causes poor health.
Point One there was sex before there was marriage.
Second sex until marriage will not stop people from having martial issues or divorce. Ex a friend of mine has a step mom who took abstinence and got married she stayed with him for years and quit because she was really unhappy.
Third an final point is though research comparing Europian culture and ours it shows that forcing abstinence on our youth without actual sex education, not only pyschology damage and conflict with parents, but forces kids to learn about sex from their peers.
There's a documentary about it called "Let's talk About Sex."
Just type into goggle "let's talk about sex documentary" or look below
John Smith
Nov 14 2012: "Debate: Do abstinence until marriage programs work?"
- +2
No, people just have sex in secret before marriage (and spent the rest of their life feeling "dirty" because of it) or they get married early to someone they don't really love and become miserable as a result. Abstinence until marriage is unnatural and harmful to the human mind.
Besides, it's steeped in religious dogma and therefore has no place in any government funded institution. Every tax penny used to promote abstinence until marriage programs hurts the kids in all sorts of ways and it pushes them back towards medieval mythology, maybe the money would be better spent teaching kids 21st century science so they can solve the world's problems, fulfill their potential and be happier.Nov 13 2012: Not having sex before marriage is just asking for trouble.
First of all, its important to know if all your various bits fit together well
Compatibility is important to find out before its too late
If you live in the snowy prairie its a great aerobic activity for the weekends.
Its also better if you live together before marriage as well.
Then you can discover if your underwear draped in the bathroom habits annoy your potential spouse or not.
David Fuchs
Nov 17 2012: Abstinence until marriage programs are actually "abstinence until my parents are not looking or paying attention" programs. Sex education actually works where it is implemented correctly.Nov 13 2012: Whenever any human is put under the thumb of another, they begin the struggle to break free.
- +1
Humans have fought this fight since they learned they had opposable thumbs.
Too many generations I personally know about, children left home not because they were looking forward to their life but they had to get away from the people who were making them crazy, i.e. their parents.
Mental illness is now beginning at the age of 11 in America, possibly, lower now. Parents are causing it.
Moral teaching has been more of an evil than anything else.
Sex is not a moral issue.
Sex, doesn't have a moral nature that is inherent, essential and intrinsic.
The moral nature in life, is how we treat one another, not what the subject is!
Yes, there are problems with many things in life and teaching and learning how to handle them is important, but there has been way too much false moral teaching done that is only akin to brainwashing and not for the good of anyone.
Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders stated masturbation should be taught as natural and common, and used. She said, "we've tried ignorance for a 1,000 years, maybe we should try education." She also said she thought abstinence is itself a form of child abuse.
She was forced from her job by the insane moral majority in America. George Bush, lied to u.s. all and went to war along with helping to destroy our economy and make us more hated around the world, and he wasn't fired!!!
She told the truth. He lied. Tells you a lot about how Americans worship lies. Maybe, George should have masturbated first and we wouldn't be in this mess.
There is nothing wrong with abstinence. There is nothing wrong with learning how to control oneself, urges, desires and so on. There is something wrong with brainwashing, teaching false, shameful morals and lying. Making a choice is not making the choice that someone else has embedded in you.

Nov 13 2012: In the USA, those states that outlaw sex ed in school, or require abstinence only sex-ed when sex-ed is taught, have the highest teen pregnancy rates in the country. Conversely, those states that mandate sex-ed in school have the lowest teen pregnancy rates.
- +1
The states with the highest teen pregnancy rates refuse to learn from the states with the lowest teen pregnancy rates. It's a religious thing. It's also cruel and stupid.
Hightest teen pregnancy rates (starting with highest)
New Mexico
West Virginia
South Carolina
All of the above states are RED (Republican) southern states. They have christian majorities.
States with the lowest teen pregnancy rates?
New Hampshire
Rhode Island
These states have secular majorities.
One might think that those anti-sex-ed/anti-abortion states would have fewer abortions. It's true with LA, MS, SC, & AZ, but not so true with the others. It's hard to watch the red states shoot themselves in the foot year after year after year. It does cause one to wonder.
Nov 16 2012: I am from Alabama and we have a mandatory class called "Health." It covers sex education.
Gail .
Nov 16 2012: ALA CODE § 16-40A-2 : Alabama Code - Section 16-40A-2:
- +1
(a) Any program or curriculum in the public schools in Alabama that includes sex education or the human reproductive process shall, as a minimum, include and emphasize the following:
(1) Abstinence from sexual intercourse is the only completely effective protection against unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) when transmitted sexually.
(2) Abstinence from sexual intercourse outside of lawful marriage is the expected social standard for unmarried school-age persons.
(b) Course materials and instruction that relate to sexual education or sexually transmitted diseases should be age-appropriate.
(c) Course materials and instruction that relate to sexual education or sexually transmitted diseases should include all of the following elements:
(1) An emphasis on sexual abstinence as the only completely reliable method of avoiding unwanted teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
(2) An emphasis on the importance of self-control and ethical conduct pertaining to sexual behavior.
The Code is longer than 2,000 characters here (including spaces) will allow.
I began my post with: "In the USA, those states that outlaw sex ed in school, or require abstinence only sex-ed when sex-ed is taught, have the highest teen pregnancy rates in the country. Conversely, those states that mandate sex-ed in school have the lowest teen pregnancy rates."
You might call Alabama versions of sex-ed, sex-ed, but those States that have the lowest teen-pregnancy rates don't call it a LEGITIMATE form of sex-ed. It has been proven to be ineffective and counter-productive. That was the point I tried to make, as the first sentence in my post addressed.
Lejan .
Nov 13 2012: Work for what? For whom? What is this program about, what is its intention?
- +1
Sex is one of the strongest instincts we have, given by nature as rewarding pleasure to ensure the reproduction of our species. Due to its tremendous power and biological consequences, as well as the risk of diseases, young people have to be guided, helped and protected to become sexually responsible, independent and self-determined individuals.
Abstinence as a program, certainly is the opposite of what it takes to get there.
A broad education and an open, positive athmosphere on this topic is mandatory and it has to be free of any gloomy, sinful, and dirty notions which to often have been inflicted by destructive religious believes.
As a society we need to support our young generations for them to find their very own and positive self-image in their sexuality, we need to protect our childen against sexual abuse and to allow the freedom for our adolescent to make their experiences in a way they choose to.
Abstinence, promiscuity or pair-relationship is a matter of personal choice only and can never be enforced by 'programs' of any sort without destroying the natural and individual way of embracing and accepting our strong sexual instincts.
Within my family, my brother and I were enlightened on sexuality within our natural pace of curiosity and we could speak open and freely with our mother about what we wished to know and to understand at very young age already.
The only advice we got, was to be emotionally careful with others on our way to find, experience and to life our sexuality, and not to use them as lifeless objects for our personal selfish fulfillment.
By this, I personally prefer long term monogamous pair-relationship based on a mutual and emotional bond. Marriage is just a legal form of it and no necessity.
But this is just personal preference, not more, and people should be free to decide what form they choose or change for themselfs and to be open about it with others.Nov 19 2012: No program works without the full support of those participating. If we were to believe some posts here they are only getting pregnet in red states and that is because of religion. Therefore it is much better to move to a blue state and dump your religion in order to save your daughter. I can see the next campaign stickers Vote Democrat Say NO to Sex and Religion. That would certainly reduce the birth rate.
As a Independent I think that any party that tells me to not have sex and dump religion does not really want to win.
I wonder if there are stats that show rates by ethnicity, by religious preference, and the one we all are holding our breath for "Are you red or blue" inquiring minds want to know, etc .... or if we just have to take someones word for it.
I think that the bottom line rests in the family. Many families today are raising latch key children without family ties and questionable ethics. Another cause could be that both parents work in todays homes unlioke the 50's when Beaver Cleavers mom was home and cooking 24/7.
There are a lot of generalizations thrown out here. But the only truth that has been spoke is that MY grandkids are cuter than yours.
All the best. Bob.Nov 14 2012: Not only do I think promoting abstinence is out of date but it also is correlated with a higher rate of teen pregnancies.
Abstinence is out of date because in today's world teenagers need to explore the world, they don't need walls put up by parents and teachers. They need guides to help guide them in the right directing by teaching them the facts and letting them make a decision, wrong or right they are going to do it anyways. With the knowledge and tools we can give them they are more likely to make a informed decision on sex and any other life decision.
Abstinence is also correlated with more teen pregnancies simply because in those sorts of communities good sex education is almost never available. Not only is this stupid but it is plain wrong, I understand that these people are trying to promote abstinence but denying teens education is just plain ignorant and damaging.
Sex before marriage is natural and can help gain insight into a potential spouse to make sure they are compatible with you. Resulting in a happier long term marriage.Nov 13 2012: In life what you hear and experience depends on your position, perception and decision.
Someone who thinks something is impossible wont even try; someone who thinks something could be hard may decide to prepare to meet difficult challenges, or may decide to 'just give it a try'.
There was a time when pre-marital sex was not a norm, and people still lived well. There are nations that still frown at pre-marital sex; and no one is dead or deformed for lack of sex.
As a christian, the bible teaches that sex before marriage is a sin, and that in marriage one should be faithful.
If you think that you cant abstain from sex, you probably cant. Because you are either convinced by someone, or you've convinced yourself.
Nov 19 2012: Yes but the bible also says in Leviticus 19:19 that you shall not where mixed fabrics, nor should people eat fish that don't have fins or scales. According to the bible Leviticus 11:10-12 that anything else (lobster) is an abomination and shouldn't be eaten, but I digress.
I will have you know that I'm not against abstinence. I think people should wait to get to know a person before starting a sexually relationship. I don't believe that people should wait until their married in order to do that.
I remember my friend Chris told me about he was brought up with the abstinence ring. He explained how it ended up causing a barrier in his relationship's because he kept trying focusing on trying to find that one.
My issue is that by forcing abstinence before marriage unto teens it causes unnecessary psychological problems. One because when they do meet a companion they really like, they start to feel guilty for having carnal thoughts. When they go to talk to their trusted parental figures, the teens are condoned for it and get little about it besides the risks. So in order to answer there questions about it they end up turning to their peers and the internet. Which causes a lot of rumors such if guys pull out before they can prevent pregnancies. When the parents condone the adolescent for doing have sex it breaks the trust in there relationship, causing the teens to rebel.
Sex isn't a sin it helps create life, and if it is a sin then let the people without sin cast the first stone.
Nov 19 2012: Mr Ezra Scarlet, I dont think you have read the entire book called the bible. If you have done that, you would know the difference between the laws given to Isreal, and the new dispensation of the church that came through Jesus Christ.
The calling of the church is why people from all over the world can be called 'sons of God'. And it is what was the law in the old testament that became grace by the Holy Spirit, through Jesus Christ born in Isreal for the whole world.
Now, in a world with millions of beautiful women; how do you expect someone who can not abstain from sex as a teenager (a foundational stage that is meant to have various other priorities than sexual pleasure) to be faithful in marriage?
And from the divorce rates due to unfaithfulness you cant deny the fact that people expect faithfulness in marriage.
The same excuses given for pre-marital sex continues to be given in marriage.
If you are not a spirit-filled christian it could be hard, or even impossible to keep the body in control.
But by God's strength, it was, and is no pre-marital sex for me; and no extra-marital affair.Nov 19 2012: Mr Ezra Scarlet, I dont think you have read the entire book called the bible.

I had it all planned out what I was going to write about this week.
And then in a span of about 30 minutes, those plans went up in smoke, signalling not the start of a new papacy, but renewed hope for the Iowa State men's basketball team and a new leader for the Drake men's program.
I came into the office this afternoon for a meeting, thinking Iowa State's game against Oklahoma in the Big XII tournament was all but over. Oklahoma held a 13-point lead in the second half, and Melvin Ejim seemed to be carrying the Cyclones on his back.
When I returned to my computer following the meeting, I stared at my computer screen in shock as I saw the Cyclones now led the Sooners by three with about 1:00 remaining.
I rushed home just in time to catch the end of the game and see that my eyes had not been deceiving me — Iowa State had, in fact, come back and won the game.
As I left the house for the meeting, I feared that a loss might be enough to keep the Cyclones out of the NCAA tournament.
Instead, the team rallied in the closing minutes and earned a third chance against Kansas, whom Iowa State has suffered two crushing defeats to this season.
It's the matchup fans, and I'm sure the players, have been looking forward to ever since Kansas escaped Hilton Coliseum with a controversial win in February.
As of press time, ESPN's bracketologist Joe Lunardi had moved Iowa State safely into the field, noting that the Cyclones should avoid one of the "First Four" games in Dayton.
Not long after the conclusion of the Iowa State game, as I sat looking at Twitter on my laptop, I noticed a tweet that read:
"Drake has fired Mark Phelps after five seasons, sources told CBSSports."
I sat there for just a moment in shock.
It was a move I felt needed to be made, but as a Drake basketball fan, I wasn't sure if Drake athletic director Sandy Hatfield Clubb would make it.
After all, Phelps won more games in his first five seasons coaching the Bulldogs than any other coach in program history.
His overall win percentage was just below .500, which while not great, is about on par with what has typically been done at Drake in the past. In fact, that's really not that bad for Drake.
But, Phelps had the tough task of following Keno Davis' one magical year at Drake, meaning expectations would certainly be higher for Phelps than for previous coaches.
And they certainly were.
Phelps is a great person. In my few brief encounters with him, he has always come across as a very kind, respectable person.
I'm not sure I've heard anyone ever say anything bad about him as a person.
But the hard truth is he just wasn't getting the job done as a head coach.
"Drake University is grateful for his commitment to the program," Hatfield Clubb said at a press conference Thursday afternoon. "He has a strong work ethic and is a man of integrity. Nobody worked hard the last five years. He's brought high standards and personal values to this program."
Phelps is a fantastic recruiter, bringing back-to-back No. 1-ranked recruiting classes in the Missouri Valley. But after five straight trips to the Thursday night play-in games at Arch Madness, it's definitely time to move in a different direction.
Hatfield Clubb said she will move aggressively to find a new coach. I find myself very interested to see who she will be able to get as the next head coach at Drake University.
Hopefully, she can find a coach who will restore interest into the program similar to the way Fran McCaffery rejuvenated the Iowa program after replacing Todd Lickliter as head coach.
Speaking of Iowa, the Hawkeyes took another big step Thursday night in trying to secure a spot in the field of 68.
A loss to 11-seed Northwestern in the first round of the Big Ten tournament would have eliminated the Hawkeyes from contention.
But, Iowa jumped out to a big lead early and never looked back, despite Northwestern cutting the lead to single digits late in the game.
The Hawkeyes, with a 9-9 league record, finished sixth in the Big Ten Conference. Lunardi says the Big Ten is a lock to get seven teams in the tournament, but Iowa is not one of those seven.
At press time, Lunardi had moved Iowa ahead of Baylor, but still in the "Next Four Out" category.
Translation — Iowa currently sits as the fifth team out of the tournament.
But, the Hawkeyes have a golden opportunity in front of them today, as they get a quarterfinal game against Michigan State.
A win against the Spartans could be just enough to get the Hawkeyes into the NCAA tournament.
A little help along the way with losses by other bubble teams certainly wouldn't hurt, though.
How exciting would it be for the state of Iowa if both Iowa and Iowa State made it into the NCAA tournament this year?
If that happens, it's sure to drum up a little excitement throughout the state.
Today is shaping up to be a fantastic day of basketball.
Not only is there the third matchup of the season between Kansas and Iowa State, but you also have Iowa fighting for its NCAA tournament life against Michigan State.
Is that not enough to get you excited?
How about the final Big East matchup ever between longtime bitter rivals Syracuse and Georgetown. Michigan vs. Wisconsin also looks to be an exciting game.
Oklahoma State and Kansas State square off in yet another matchup of ranked teams, as do UCLA and Arizona.
The Mountain West Conference semifinals also feature two very good matchups as Steve Alford's New Mexico Lobos take on San Diego State and UNLV takes on Colorado State.
This certainly is the best time of the year!

|Previous College:
|Quinnipiac '06
|Assistant Coach
Former Bobcats' All-American Reid Cashman will enter his third season as the Bobcats' assistant coach. Cashman recently completed a five-year professional career that most recently saw him playing in Austria's professional league.
Cashman was recently named as one of the top 50 players in ECAC Hockey history, as announced by the league during the 2010-11 season. Cashman was previously named to the ECAC Hockey All-Decade Team for the period from 2000 through 2009.
A native of Red Wing, Minn., he first earned All-America honors in 2004-05 when the Bobcats were members of Atlantic Hockey. Cashman went on to earn consecutive ECAC Hockey First Team and All-American honors when he finished as the league's top-scoring defenseman in 2006 and 2007, and was the only defenseman in the Top 20 in scoring in the nation in both years. In 2007, he captained a Quinnipiac team that played for the ECAC Hockey Championship in just its second year in the league.
In 79 career ECAC Hockey games, Cashman tallied 82 points, earning him a spot on the All-Decade team. In 2007, he finished second in the nation in scoring among defenseman with 41 points in 40 games for a 1.02 per game average. The previous season, he scored 41 points in 39 games for a 1.05 per game average, good for third in the nation among all blue-liners. In both seasons in ECAC Hockey, Cashman led the league in assists and power-play points and was a Hobey Baker Memorial Award finalist.
The school record-holder in career assists with 125, he also holds the single-season defenseman records in assists with 35 in 2006-07 and 45 in 2004-05. The all-time leading scorer amongst defenseman, his 148 career points rank eighth overall.
Upon completion of his Quinnipiac career, Cashman signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs, playing seven games that season with Toronto's top affiliate, the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League (AHL). Cashman enjoyed two stints with the Marlies, while also suiting up for the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and the Milwaukee Admirals. He also played for the Columbia Inferno, Wheeling Nailers and the Cincinnati Cyclones of the East Coast Hockey League before completing his professional career overseas with EHC Black Wings Linz of the Austrian Erste Bank Ice Hockey League.
He currently resides in Cheshire, Conn. with his wife, Stephanie.

Despite setting the fastest lap time in FP2, Lewis Hamilton believes Mercedes can do better after a suspension issue cost him track time...
Despite setting the fastest lap time in FP2, Lewis Hamilton believes Mercedes can do better after a suspension issue cost him track time.
With a suspension problem meaning he was unable to put in the laps in the latter half of FP1, Hamilton made the most of his track time in the afternoon's session.
Completing 25 laps, the 2008 World Champion posted a 1:38.315 on the soft Pirellis to set the pace ahead of Fernando Alonso.
His issues, though, weren't over as late in the afternoon he told his team "something's not right with this car" before heading back into the pits.
Asked about his opening day at the Shanghai circuit, Hamilton admitted that things had not gone quite according to plan and that he expected better.
"Not much to be honest," he responded when asked what he had learned on Friday.
"It's not been the easiest of days. Obviously we're not that bad but you always want to be better.
"We're going to work hard tonight to try to find some improvements to the set-up."
As for the suspension problem that cost him time at the end of the morning session, he conceded that it had set him back.
"The [suspension] problem put us on the back foot because you don't have many laps as it is and so every lap counts.
"Usually in P1 you'll make a set-up change, go out and test it when you get the fresher tyres and then you'll do a longer run on that set.
"For us we lost a bit of time but it's OK. It's not the first time, so we'll fix whatever problems we have tonight."
Looking ahead to Saturday where final practice and qualifying are expected to take place in the rain, the 29-year-old reckons it's going to make for a tricky grand prix on Sunday.
"Tomorrow when it rains we have to deal with what we have and hope for the best. When we get to the race it's going to be tricky to drive because we won't have tested the set-up we have tomorrow in the dry."

Still only 25, Stefan Markovic can claim to be the all-time assists leader in the Eurocup, having amassed a total of 319 assists over seven seasons. Furthermore, in the 79 games played in the competition, he has stolen the ball 122 times, ranking third in the all-time list. While numbers do not always tell the truth, they are spot on in the case of the Serbian guard. An intelligent team-player with good court vision, Markovic provides energy on both ends of the court, making up for his shaky outside shooting. His impressive wing span paired with his aggressiveness make him an outstanding lock-down defender, especially troubling shorter backcourts. Playing constant minutes at international level, Markovic offers experience beyond his years, keeping his cool in crunch situations.

Good ideas here:
bird-eye of the code (tiny pic of the entire file).
Multi-insertion points
search on the bottom line (command line, like in vim).
Still far away from being a serious competitor to vim, but if it does some of the snippets magic that textmate does (and that vim cannot fully emulate as of yet) it might be interesting.

Great Exhibition 8 Player Croquet Set
Fun for up to eight players with this inclusive, commemorative set.
There is no more important date for croquet than 1851, when John Jaques II's new game "Croquet" was presented at the Great Exhibition.
Its subsequent growth in popularity was explosive, and before long Wimbledon Croquet Club was opened - later to embrace the newly invented game of Lawn Tennis. This fantastic deluxe croquet set celebrates this date, and has all of Jaques' finest competition components for serious Association croquet or the shorter Golf croquet or Short croquet versions.
There are two beautifully finished brass ringed Oxford mallets with scored faces, two Challenge models, two square Hampton models, and two polished hardwood Intermediate mallets ideal for the slightly younger player. This selection of fine mallets will accommodate all styles of play. Eight matching composite balls are held in two zipped canvas carry cases, and are double scored to aid ball control. The Association cast iron hoops and hoop drill are chosen by the Croquet Association for all their Domestic, International and Test Matches, and the wooden smasher mallet aids their insertion in lawn, after the hoop sites have been carefully watered. The deluxe eight-band hand-colored gold-lined winning post indicates order of play, and the set includes four court corner flags to show, at a glance, the corners of the court. Eight steel spring hoop clips are attached to each hoop successively during play to show a player's progress, and a set of ball marker pegs record a ball's position. Jaques' Basic Laws of Croquet is included and also Anton Gill's Complete Guide, with many historical facts and illustrations plus much tactical advice on the game. The natural, stained deluxe pine box is reinforced for strength and has extra robust rope handles, a leather Jaques logo label and brass lockdown catches. A superb deluxe set to cherish.
Size: Size: 43.5" x 11.5" x 10.5"; Hoops size: 20.5" x 3.75" x 0.75"

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band issue another show from the archives
Bruce Springsteen wasn't announced/anticipated to be part of the lineup for the annual Light of Day benefit concert to raise money for Parkinson's disease. Sure, he'd previously played 11 of the past 15 Light of Day benefits, but fans didn't necessarily expect to see him this year.
Imagine the surprise of many when Springsteen showed up in Asbury Park, New Jersey on January 17, 2015 at the Paramount Theater, playing a show everyone is calling his best yet. He backed Nile on his song "One Guitar," then made it through Gary U.S. Bonds' "This Little Girl is Mine" with LaBamba, Southside Johnny, and Bon Jovi guitarist Bobby Bandiera. He even played "From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come)," "Because the Night" and "Darkness on the Edge of Town."
No one knows for sure when or if Springsteen will make any 2015 touring plans known – including members of his own E Street Band. Nils Lofgren recently gave an interview stating he had no idea when 'The Boss' would be back on the road.
In all, Springsteen played more than 30 dates with the E Street Band early in 2014. Beyond the Light of Day Festival, he also appeared at November's Concert for Valor and at December's World AIDS Day concert when he was filling in for Bono.
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's Tower Theater show from 1975 is the latest archival offering from the LiveBruceSpringsteen.net download portal.
E Street Band gets the call to the Hall
Fifteen years after Bruce Springsteen became a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the E-Street Band has finally joined him. The band was inducted during ceremonies in New York on Thursday, April 10.
If your first thought upon reading this was it's impossible it took so long for the honor, you're not alone. Many thought the band was included when Springsteen was enshrined back in 1999, but it was not to be. The Boss went in as a solo performer despite the fact that nearly all of his gigs since 1972 have come with the E-Street Band backing him on stage.
No matter, the band that has featured current members Garry Tallent, Roy Bittan, Max Weinberg, Steven Van Zandt, Nils Lofgren, Charlie Giordano, Jake Clemons and Patti Scialfa, as well as former members the late Clarence Clemons and Danny Federici, plus Vini Lopez, David Sancious, Ernest Carter and Suki Lahav has finally gotten its due with the induction.
Today, the E-Street Band is still touring with Springsteen and packing arenas and stadiums all over the world. Recently, they also 'co-starred' with their boss in the HBO documentary "Bruce Springsteen's High Hopes," which detailed the making of the singer's most recent record, "High Hopes." The 30-minute piece not only detailed Springsteen's music and career, it also served as a promotional piece for the record and a brand new tour.
Bruce and the band are currently in the middle of that aforementioned 34-date tour, with 15 dates in the U.S., including a performance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in May.
Springsteen + the E Street Band = A Wrecking Ball (Updated April 3, 2013)
When is the last time you attended a concert that ran three hours (plus) and felt more exhausted than the guy on stage? If you answered "recently," you've probably just taken in a show by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
Springsteen has, by all accounts, carved a path on his latest jaunt – aptly named the Australian Wrecking Ball tour. When all was said and done, the numbers were impressive. Ten shows, 78 different songs and more than 30 hours of 'The Boss' on stage. Through it all he crowd surfed, strummed the guitar, pumped his fists and rocked the house the only way he knows how.
As the Wrecking Ball swings on, there are dates scheduled all the way into September 2013. There are stops planned in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Italy, England, Switzerland, Belgium, Ireland, Wales and Brazil. That final date will take Springsteen and the E Street Band to the Rock in Rio festival on September 15 and will mark Springsteen's first appearance in that country in 25 years.
The continued success comes just months after Springsteen was honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year on February 8, 2013 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The award came in recognition of Springsteen's creative accomplishments, as well as his charitable work and philanthropic efforts.
Five months before, an emotional Springsteen dedicated his performance at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, New York to those affected by Hurricane Sandy. He also took part in a one-hour telethon called "Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together," in which all money raised was donated to the American Red Cross.
About Bruce Springsteen
What can be said about the incomparable Bruce Springsteen that hasn't already been put into words? A singer, songwriter and instrumentalist known and adored for his blue collar, working-class brand of Heartland rock, Springsteen is in a class by himself as a lyricist and expressionist of American sentiment.
Springsteen's true breakthrough came with the release of 'Born to Run' on August 25, 1975. The album reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200, with five singles finding heavy rotation on many rock stations around the country. The moderate success allowed Springsteen to embark on his first national tour, bringing with it a wave of publicity and establishing him as a dynamic rock and roll personality.
All things considered, Springsteen is probably best known for his album 'Born in the U.S.A.' (1984). The record sold 15 million copies in the United States, saw seven singles soar into the Top 10 and allowed Springsteen and his E Street Band to ascend to an unrivaled height of popularity. The title track, a commentary on the treatment of Vietnam veterans, caused debate among everyone from politicians to the average person as to its meaning. Though many would interpret it as a patriotic anthem, the song highlighted the troubles of American GI's with lyrics like, 'Came back home to the refinery / Hiring man said, 'Son if it was up to me' / Went down to see my V.A. man / He said 'Son you don't understand.'
Controversy reared its head again when Springsteen chose to address the 9/11 attacks on "The Rising" (2002). As his first album of new material in seven years, it was hailed by critics and fans alike as a return to prominence, moving 520,000 copies in its first week. But behind a mix of songs about loss and confusion, hope and faith, fear and longing was an artist who would eventually endorse a presidential candidate, then use a Grammy appearance as a platform to reference the ongoing conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Never outspoken and always passionate, Springsteen's 17th album, "Wrecking Ball" was released March 5 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. In support of the project he just wrapped an 11-week trip through Europe, performing some of his longest sets ever.

Here's Alexander Ovechkin just minutes after Russia's quarterfinal loss, talking with the CBC's Elliotte Friedman. He is devastated.
Ovechkin, who scored just one goal in five games, figures to come in for more than his fair share of the blame just because he's the biggest name on a team that appeared stacked with scorers, and came in with expectations that outstripped the reality of this tournament.
But as Friedman notes, Ovechkin was the only Russian player to stop and speak with Western reporters after leaving the ice.
Update: Other players came back to do interviews as well:
Bobrovsky did come back to do a couple...apparently Datsyuk did speak to some of the writers, but Ovechkin carried the biggest load.

Your Holiday Guide To The Five Best Home Theater Projectors Over $2000
The holidays will soon be upon us1. It's no surprise that
We are your resource for information on all types of projectors. We provide reviews of Home Theater Projectors, Business Projectors, Education Projectors (for K-12 and Higher Education), as well as Pico Projectors and Pocket Projectors. Our detailed reviews identify the best projectors. For the home, we review both home entertainment and the more serious home theater projectors. Projector Screens and accessories are also reviewed.
We also offer a large database of projector specifications, data sheets and brochures.
Projector Videos of Reviews: If you prefer video reviews of projectors, then check out Projector Reviews TV, our name for the many dozens of FAQ and projector review videos that we produce. It has always been our goal to provide the most in-depth, most insightful information on the choices available to you. On the home theater side of life, Mike – our THX certified calibrator calibrates all but the least expensive models. We realize that folks spending a couple thousand or less on their home theater or media room gear, aren't likely to spring $300 to $600+ for a calibration so we publish Mike's results here on our site. Some manufacturers subsidize our cost and so we publish all our results on those for free. For all the rest of the manufacturers, our under $5.00 subscription will give you access to all of the results. You should find Mike's results will improve the color and overall picture of virtually any projector, so a subscription to our site may be the best investment you can make.
After all: We Are Projector Reviews! Thanks for visiting us, if you get a chance, we appreciate it if you "Like" our content.
We hope you have noticed that we have also started reviewing home automation products including smart thermostats, door locks, light switches, and Z-wave controllers. This makes sense since: "Home automation started in the home theater." Late July 2015 please look for our launch of a new site dedicated to home automation: SmarterHomeAutomation.com When it launches it will be accessible from here, and current home automation reviews will be moved over to it. Enjoy! – Art Feierman (editor).
