Treatment Options for Stage II Colon Cancer
Last Modified: May 8, 2012
I was diagnosed with a stage II colon cancer. I am really just ok with only surgery? How can my doctor be sure I don't need chemotherapy or radiation?
Liz Prechtel-Dunphy, Oncology Nurse Practitioner at Penn Medicine responds:
Most often in patients with stage II colon cancer, chemotherapy is not recommended. The oncologists make their treatment recommendations based on the pathology from surgery, the patient's risk factors and patient overall status (performance status). There is some additional testing that can be done on the pathology from the surgery that can identify additional information that may be considered when the oncologist is deciding on treatment recommendations.
Bruce Giantonio, MD, Medical Oncologist at Penn Medicine responds:
Stage II colon cancer represents one of the great challenges for us in deciding whether or not chemotherapy should be use. I can tell you right now that we don't use radiation for stage II colon cancer, but the chemotherapy part of your question is harder to answer. And that difficulty is because we don't have the definitive clinical trial to tell us if chemotherapy following surgery for stage II disease reduces the chance of recurrence. Recently we have seen analyses that tell us if one's tumor has a particular biologic feature, that those individuals will do well, and won't garner any benefit from chemotherapy with 5FU. That test is called microsatellite testing. I think the important thing to keep in mind is that your cancer was found very early. I hope that helps.

I'm currently attempting to play Touhou: the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. I've figured out that my own Spell Cards are what I use for my bombs, but when I go to
Score in the menu, I see that there is an entry for
Spell Cards. Clicking on that, there are 64 entries, some of which I've acquired, so I'm assuming this is a collection of some sort.
The problem is I don't really know how I collected them and what exactly the numbers next to them mean. For example, next to
No. 02 Night Sign "Night Bird", I have
1/2 while for
No. 03 Darkness Sign "Demarcation" I have 2/2.
I assume this means that for No. 02, I have 1 out of the 2 "cards" available to collect and for No. 03, I've collected all the cards available to collect. How do I know which I have and which I don't? How do I collect these things in the first place? I've noticed them pop up during the boss fights, but what are the specific criteria I need to meet in order to successfully collect them?
Edit: And now I've just noticed after doing some more (failed) playthroughs that these numbers are... increasing? The numbers for the cards I listed are now 3/4 and 4/4, respectively. I thought the last number was increasing with my playthrough attempts, but I've got some at 3 and some at 5 when I've currently tried 4 times, so I'm not sure if this is correct.

The Womanly Art of Arguing About Breastfeeding
Harper's is trolling. And who can blame them? Nothing like a salvo in the "mommy wars" to boost your readership. The article title on the March cover certainly caught my eye: "The Tyranny of Breast-Feeding: New Mothers vs. La Leche League." Its an excerpt from Elisabeth Badinter's forthcoming book The Conflict: How Modern Motherhood Undermines the Status of Women, and what bothers me about it isn't the perspective. I expected to be at least a little sympathetic. No, what bothers me is the article's sloppy argumentation -- the way it tries to push buttons without bothering to build its case. (The official name for this, as I learned from the New Yorker, is contrarian feminism.)
Some necessary background, for those of you not up on the latest in high-stakes parenting debates: In the West right now, breastfeeding is officially in. It's the doctor-recommended way to be a good mother. And exclusive breastfeeding (that is, no source of nourishment but mother's milk) until the sixth month is the gold standard. Experts agree its best for baby to drink the milk specifically manufactured for that baby, but it's not so easy to achieve, at least not if you, as a mother, intend to do anything else during those six months. I can say this with some authority because my seven-month-old son was one of those lucky "EBF" (exclusively breastfed) babies for the first six months of his life. He still nurses a lot more than he eats solid food, and I'm here to tell you that keeping him nourished and happy is wonderful and rewarding and exhausting and hard.
A generation or two ago, by contrast, breastfeeding was definitely not in. Babies drank from bottles, and the way you knew you were a good mother was by monitoring how many ounces they consumed. Nursing babies had become something only weirdos and hippies did. Enter La Leche League, a group formed in the mid-1950s by a group of women who wanted to nurse their babies and offer support to other like-minded moms. They're the villains of Badinter's essay.
She begins by describing the founding of LLL. That's the part of the article I found most interesting. "Several of the founders were Catholic and active members of the Christian Family Movement," she reports. I never knew that. But Badinter isn't interested in painting a complete or accurate picture of La Leche League; for her it simply represents the growing consensus that a mother should, whenever possible, try to nurse her infant. The effort of LLL and other breastfeeding advocates to support nursing moms has been too successful, in Badinter's telling, and as a result, breastfeeding is now so mainstream as to be oppressive. Which makes it an indispensable part of society's big scheme to keep women down.
One could make a good case that, in some circles at least, the pressure to breastfeed (and to do so in a particular way) can be a source of unhealthy anxiety. Advocates do often overstate the advantages of breastfeeding, as Badinter points out. (Although she does not dispute that there are definite, uncontroversial benefits.) Or they downplay the challenges. And there are women for whom breastfeeding is not a viable option, for a number of reasons, who ought not be made to feel like they are parenting failures. An article about that is one I would be glad to read. But Badinter does not make that case, because she's trying to take down "breast is best" altogether.
Perhaps the fault here lies in the editing. Maybe the detailed, thoughtful argument I'm looking for is in Badinters book. The essay that appears in Harpers, at any rate, has precious little argument and relies far too heavily on loaded vocabulary and tendentious reasoning. LLL, in Badinter's telling, wants to impose its retrograde vision of motherhood on women by "chiding" them into obeying "nature's authority." To support her argument that breastfeeding advocates have become tyrannical, she sets up a dichotomy -- my body as a woman is either mine or my baby's -- that is far more absolute and unrealistic than anything I've ever heard at a La Leche League meeting (I've been to a few) or anywhere else. Badinter generalizes about LLL's principles and values, but she never seems to quote anything published by LLL or spoken by its leaders when she wants to drive her point home. "Breast-feeding advocates remind mothers that their breasts were created for feeding and belong first and foremost to their babies," she writes. If she has a source to quote, I'd like to see it, because to me that sounds like what the French call le baloney.
"Supporters of the league have declared war on bottles and formula, and implicitly on mothers returning to work," Badinter writes. But to back up that second part she has to paraphrase "the 1981 edition of [La Leche manual] The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding," which is apparently pretty negative on the idea of working moms. Imagine! In 1981! La Leche and The Womanly Art, and most other sources of parenting advice, have come to terms with the reality of women in the workforce in the intervening three decades. And if that implicit war on mothers returning to work is still active, my local chapter of LLL hasn't gotten the memo. Badinter acknowledges that change, but here's how she puts it: "To maintain its influence, however, LLL eventually softened its position." You might be fooled into thinking their views and methods have evolved sincerely over the years based on the experience of working women, but Badinter sees through that ruse. She goes on, "If a mother must work, the LLL recommends that she use a breast pump.... But this is only a partial solution to the difficulties working mothers face, not least because many women find pumping repulsive."
Wait, what? It's true that using a breast pump isn't a guaranteed solution. And I could come up with a lengthy list of reasons pumping is not my favorite thing to do. It's awkward, sometimes uncomfortable, and certainly inconvenient. (Also, the equipment can be expensive, and not all employers are accommodating of its use. Badinter's analysis doesn't take such socioeconomic factors into account, but they're pretty important in the real world.) But "repulsive"? That's bizarre. Badinter adds, "More important, [using a pump] does not resolve the essential problem of child care." Well, no, but -- neither does bottle-feeding. It begins to seem as if Badinter's real problem is the fact that babies, once born, need someone to take care of them.
Badinter finds a couple good examples of breastfeeding advocacy that crosses the line into mania, though she's very sketchy with her sources. Her quote from the league about how parents who don't breastfeed should be made to feel no less guilty than parents who don't use a car seat -- that's the kind of thing that makes this whole subject such an argument-starter in parenting circles. But she doesn't stick to examples of over-the-top breastfeeding militancy. In her telling, everything about La Leche League is sinister. For example, she writes, due to its skill at "forming alliances with other movements that do not necessarily share all of its goals," LLL has "extended its influence far beyond the traditional-minded women who were its original proponents, enabling the league to give the impression that its message is universal and applies to all women." (The fact that there is a difference between women and women who are mothers would seem worth noting here, but as we will see, blurring that distinction is crucial to Badinter's argument -- the subtitle of her book in French is La femme et la mere.) Another, less tendentious way to put that might be "Over time, more and more women have found La Leche League's message attractive." Suggesting that LLL is somehow tricking people into listening to its ideas doesn't sound very feminist to me. But this is contrarian feminism, and apparently some choices women make don't count as choices.
Also, Badinter says, when asked to "take a stand on such sensitive issues as family planning and abortion," LLL "stubbornly refused, arguing that its message of good motherhood through breast-feeding should not be diluted by other concerns, which might cause it to lose followers." Why "stubbornly"? Couldn't you just as easily say "wisely"? I know I'm glad I can go to LLL for advice on nursing without getting into a fight about abortion.
When it comes to LLL's advocacy of breastfeeding, Badinter complains, "it would seem there is no such thing as maternal ambivalence and that women who balk at submitting are simply reckless or bad." Look: LLL is essentially a support group. You go to their meetings, or call their local leaders, because you want to breastfeed (with your breasts that belong "first and foremost" to you), and they help you make it work. In reality, they're not so much concerned with women who refuse to "submit." They're concerned with women who never feel confident enough to try breastfeeding in the first place, or who aren't sure how to stick with it when they get home from the hospital and their milk comes in and they have no idea how to tell success from failure. If submission to breastfeeding were such a foregone conclusion, if maternal ambivalence had been read out of our culture entirely, La Leche League would not need to exist.
The level of argumentation in this essay is truly abysmal. When Badinter wants an example of how oppressively mainstream the breastfeeding message has gone, she turns to a list of "dictates...from AlternaMoms.com." We all know looking for extremism on the Internet is a cheap way to make an argument. But how do you end up quoting from "AlternaMoms.com" without realizing you've just undermined your whole case? If you're looking at a website (one I've never heard of or seen) that describes itself as the opposite of mainstream, you can't conclude that the views expressed there amount to tyranny. Further along, Badinter cites statistics from Scandinavia, where close to 100 percent of women breastfeed their babies. This, she thinks, is cause for concern: "Are Norwegian and Swedish women able to exercise their freedom of choice and refuse to conform to this moral and social standard? The notion of 100 percent of women wanting to breast-feed is as troubling as 100 percent of women not wanting to do so." Is it? Why? The whole article is one long exercise in begging the question.
What Badinter doesn't seem to want to confront is that lactating is not a choice. It's part of the motherhood package: when a woman gives birth, her body starts producing milk. Why shouldn't any woman who becomes a mother want to take advantage of that biological fact? If breastfeeding mothers find it difficult to lead satisfying, well-rounded lives or pursue careers, is the feminist response to stop encouraging mothers to breastfeed so they can keep getting along on society's terms? What strikes me as weird and troubling is not the popularity of nursing; its the fact that, for quite a while and not so long ago, ignoring the universal rhythm of childbirth and lactation was the standard in the West. Women were expected to let their milk dry up (painfully) and feed their babies from a can. If there's an antifeminist way to approach infant care, why isn't that it?
"Doubt remains," Badinter insists: "If breast-feeding is a right, then is not breastfeeding also a right?" The last time I checked, yes, it still is. This is not a real concern as far as I can make out. But Badinter has even bigger worries -- she concludes the essay by announcing that the orthodoxy of nursing "has become the defining feature of a philosophy in which motherhood, and only motherhood, determines a woman's status and her role in society." She has not come close to demonstrating that this is so, but I guess that's what makes contrarian feminism such a great gig.

Good heavens. The modern mind really hates authority - and at the same time loves conforming to the dictates of the chosen social group.
Ligue La Leche is an honest-to-god FORCE in Montreal. To a large extent, I have a hard time grasping just how contentious breastfeeding is in the States, and I'm always blown away when I read comments from American women that validate the idea that breastfeeding in public is kind of like farting in public: natural but just not the right thing to do (I kid you not--the fart analogy is ubiquitous). Quebec is pretty gung ho about breastfeeding (which is a big difference compared to France). My son spent a long time in NICU, and they were very supportive in enabling him access to breast milk. it's not often that an establishment in Montreal will try to stop a woman from nursing, but when it's happened, Ligue La Leche has organized huge nurse-ins, and word of such impending events has always been enough to make offending establishments do a 180 and send out the white flag. For us, we were happy to take advantage of the resources they offered, while filtering some of the rhetoric. That's how it should be--people should be educated about why breastfeeding is best, but allowed the right to act according to their situations with their babies.
Interesting, Abe, thanks for the report from up north! I think your approach is a healthy one - and I think some filtering of rhetoric is necessary in any area of parenting advice (or any kind of advocacy, for that matter), not just breastfeeding. Obviously La Leche League is going to tell you the solution to every problem is more breastfeeding; that's their mission. Sometimes it won't be the right advice for you. Badinter seems to be suggesting that women aren't capable of figuring that out.
I was able to go the six months with my 2nd baby, with the 1st, I barely lasted a month (I had to go back to work pretty much right away). Infant formula is hugely expensive. Did the article address the economics of bottle feeding? It's not insignificant.
Great rebuttal! I have read her work before and have thought it sounded riddled with underlying guilt at her own inability to be successful, or to enjoy, nursing. She should forgive herself for doing the best she could and leave the undermining of breastfeeding to the professionalsformula companies.Regarding the return of women to work, perhaps if our maternity leave policy looked more like Swedens, more American women would have the inclination to start breastfeeding and would nurse for longer durations. Leaving a 6-week old infant, for 10 hours a day, when they are still nursing every 2-4 hours is not a recipe for successful breastfeeding or a productive work life.
I am always a bit surprised by some of those who choose to nurse and then, as soon as the kid is ready for solid foods, start shoveling Kraft mac n' cheese, soda pop, and potato chips at the kid.Perhaps this explains why, despite our best intentions, our kids are still fat and unhealthy. However, one of the many, many perks of being post-menopausal is that one is no longer expected to have opinions about birthing, breastfeeding, infant immunizations, attachment parenting, discipline, etc.
Harper's is doing worse than trolling. Harper's needs to be publicly and loudly chastised for running a hit piece on La Leche League and breastfeeding in their February 2012 issue without mentioning the authors substantial financial stake in the issue. The author is an advertising billionaire, heir to and partner in Publicis, Nestls advertising agency. Her article in Harper's is publicist's envy of the La Leche League's success in reducing the amount of artificial baby milk sold. She modestly passes on the opportunity to extoll the successful campaign by baby formula companies, with the well paid help of Publicis, which popularized the profitable idea of replacing breast feeding in the first place. Without the ad campaign her family made a fortune on, there would be no need for La Leche League! The main pitch in the article is her claim that LLL erases "..all the other aspects of breast feeding: the loss of freedom and the despotism of an insatiable child." Buy formula and your infant won't be demanding. Buy formula and parenthood won't change your life. If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you. There are so many interesting things to say about mothering infants, but when Bandinter talks, all I hear is "buy Enfamil." Badinter prefers to brand herself as an intellectual with a feminist critique of La Leche League, but she is an ad women selling artificial baby milk. Harpers Magazine fell for her ruse, and they need to hear about it. Email Harpers at [email protected] to let them know how you feel.
I couldn't agree with you more on this. It is tough enough being a new mom, without either being made to feel as if "your breasts don't belong to you" or that by not breastfeeding it's akin to not using a child seat.I was lucky enough to have success breastfeeding my daughter - she never had a drop of formula - but it was by no means simple or easy all the time. There were significant challenges (I was working full time and going to law school part time), but with great support from the nurses at my hospital and some of the great internet boards at the time, I was able to get through the rough patches (my post for tips for nursing/working moms is at http://momwhoworks.wordpress.com/2009/06/26/nursing-mother-working-mother/). THAT's what is missing in all of this - providing SUPPORT to new moms, no matter which route they choose.
However, one of the many, many perks of being post-menopausal is that one is no longer expected to have opinions about birthing, breastfeeding, infant immunizations, attachment parenting, discipline, etc.
For men they're usually optional. But it's kind of fun watching people argue learnedly about which end of the egg should be opened first. The human mind feeds on controversy and uncertainty - it hardly matters what the topic. We live to worry.
I enjoyed reading your thoughtful comments but had one concern regarding this statement,"Advocates do often overstate the advantages of breastfeeding, as Badinter points out. (Although she does not dispute that there are definite, uncontroversial benefits.)"There are some 2000 patents and patent applications in the US Patent & Trademark Office on human milk components for use in pharmaceuticals, infant formula, food, food supplements. These patents are owned by various well-know drug, infant formula, food-particularly dairy, and supplement companies as well as the US Department of Health. It is now understood by many researchers that human milk contains totipotent stem cells, making it an extremely valuable substance. Various human milk components (mostly genetically engineered) will be used to treat cancers, wounds, and as a new antibiotic. Prebiotics and probiotics are based on human milk's capacity to promote beneficial bacteria in the gut. Various companies in Sweden and Spain are selling probiotic products derived from human milk sugars. I have been researching and writing about this since 1999 and believe that advocates are actually "understating" the advantages of breastfeeding and not speaking out enough about the risks of infant formula. Badinter's article is a propaganda piece using La Leche League as the scapegoat and feminism as a justification for her critique.
Excellent analysis, Mollie. I learned of La Leche League in 1963 - thanks to an article in Commonweal! I received the help I needed, and later was involved in getting LLL started in Colombia, where I lived for many years. As you say, LLL has been wise to keep its focus totally on helping the mother who wishes to breastfeed. Of course breastfeeding rates are higher in countries like Canada, Sweden and Norway. Not because these women are somehow taken advantage of, but because society supports them in this natural proces. They all have long paid maternity leave. Sadly this country lags far behind, and the babies who suffer most are those of the women who can't afford to stay away from their jobs for more than a few weeks.
Caroline - Wow! Time for me to hit the C'weal archives.
I have feminist news to this Badinter; women supporting other women is feminism at it's bestI cant believe this she had ever met a LLL leader, they where so helpful, never pushy or anything, always made me think of MY goal at breastfeeding my sans.
Apparently Beyonc is nursing in public, which could be a potential game-changer in America. Something tells me Hova isn't gonna let Beyon-bb get bounced from any establishments.
Oh, I remember nursing in public! Settings that stand out in my memory: at professional conferences, in crowded commuter trains, and at Mass. What easier way to keep a baby quiet and preserve people's peace? The tiny sucking sound of a baby drawing the milk is a lot less disturbing than a loud brawl. My self-righteous attitude was: I'm not sure if that's considered entirely proper, but it doesn't matter: if it's against the culture, then the culture must change. I got a few funny looks, occasionally, but never a comment.
I recall that Badinter sounded as if young mothers were being coerced into breastfeeding by the medical establishment. My daughter-in-law's recent experience in a large city hospital was quite the contrary. Nurses in the maternity ward threw up multiple roadblocks to breastfeeding her newborn son. Surprising to me was that some of the barriers were familiar to me from my experience in the early 80's: offering to give baby a bottle so mom could rest, insisting on supplementation on the basis of weight loss in the first days before mom's milk came in, and sending a gift-pack of formula home with Mom and baby. Luckily my son and daughter-in-law came to the hospital armed with the latest edition of the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding and they were able to fend off these potential problems. In the early months, my daughter-in-law used LLL's website to solve some other problems. LLL was there to help her when she asked for that help. And she asked, because she sincerely wanted that help. Thank goodness she had support for her choice.La Leche League was an important part of my own breastfeeding days. If I would do anything differently today, it would be to breastfeed even more publicly than I did back in the 80's. And I would find that profoundly feminist and liberating. Thanks, Molly, for your critique.
The Badinter article was the occasion for my discovery that Harper's has no comment function on their web edition. Thank goodness the missing discussion is going on right here at Commonweal! Mollie and the rest of you have put to rest my fear that the article in Harper's was to go unchallenged. I would say, Jean, that I was able to nurse exclusively for a full year with my first child. She absolutely did not transition straight in to "Kraft mac n cheese, soda pop, and potato chips," but went through the same crema de arroz, bananas and baby food sequence that any bottle-fed child might require. Thank you to all of you for providing your usual light in the wilderness.
I'm sorry if I seemed critical of nursing mothers. I'm not in any way. I only find it ironic that with so many mothers on board with nursing, kids don't seem to be eating better as older babies, toddlers and so on.
Your comment about how Badinter can't confront the fact that lactation is not a choice - it is what happens naturally following birth - sums everything up perfectly. It is part of what makes women women: that if we have babies, our bodies begin producing milk for them. She is stuck in an old form of feminism that seems to want to eschew everything that naturally makes us uniquely female. Thankfully, I am noticing more young women lately who support a new feminism: one that celebrates and embraces the fact that we are biologically different from men, and that this is okay! This is a good thing! Our reproductive differences are what make us male and female, and trying to run away from one's natural, biological female-ness seems pretty anti-female to me. And all the misplaced blame on La Leche League is just bizarre. At the beginning of meetings (at least the ones I've attended), the LLL leaders say something along the lines of "some of our information may be new to you; please feel free to take what is helpful for your family and leave the rest." Militant and oppressive, indeed!
I think breastfeeding is fine.Breastfeeding in public, No. Why not - it's natural!So was the conception, but I wasn't invited to witness that.
I don't know that the La Leche league has changed much since I gave birth to my daughter in the 80s. At that time, a representative of the group marched into my room hours after I gave birth and proceeded to give me a lecture on breastfeeding that would have made my scariest grade school teacher proud. After being harangued for a long time, I finally asked that hospital security come to the room and that she be removed. After some more argument, she was removed by the head nurse. I never want to see her or any other representative of the group again. I sure never wanted her to "show me how" to feed my daughter. It's all pretty self-explanatory. For the first months, I fed my kid the natural way, unless I drank a couple of glasses of beer or was exposed to paint or had a babysitter and a night out. Know what? I didn't need them to show me how, either. I think it's time to limit their access to new mothers who don't specifically ask for them. My experience with them was all the way bad.
Susan, that sounds horrifying. My experience was precisely the opposite to yours. I was planning to breastfeed, and had to endure being pressed with packages of free formula, impatience from the nursing staff when my milk did not come in immediately (which it doesn't) and a lot of generally judgmental bystanders. LLL was a phone call away but nowhere in evidence in the hospital. We are the same generation, but perhaps it is a case of living in a different region, operating in a different milieu, or even encountering an overzealous volunteer. Virginia, breastfeeding in public is only a problem with mothers who insist on "whipping it out" in plain view as some kind of a political statement. There are ways to be discreet, but I fear that in breastfeeding, as in so many areas, discretion is no longer in fashion.
2 am? Really? Is Commonweal in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?
My first experience was similar to Dorothy's. I was told I *needed* formula because my milk "hadn't come in" 4 hours after birth, repeatedly encouraged to "give myself a break" with a bottle, sent home with samples, got "happy birthday X, you're 3/6/9 months old today!" marketing in the mail and free samples though drs. knew I was bfing. I felt as though my child's privacy had been stolen.LLL was the one place I went where everyone was supportive of whatever amount of bfing I wanted to do. I never felt pressured or judged, and heard the "take what is useful to you and leave the rest" many times. It is true that we were told "your breasts were built for nursing", but never in the years I went to meetings did I ever hear "they belong first" to anyone but me.My only criticism with your verdict is the association of feminism with the book author's viewpoint. I consider myself a feminist as well as a Catholic; so, "traditional women" means Catholic women, right? And LLL's expansion "far beyond" must mean, what, they've gone too far out of their appropriate zone of influence and are now trying to reach out to anyone who wants help breastfeeding or pumping? It would be laughable if it weren't so insulting.I know that LLL actively works to get both "breastfeeding in public" and workplace pumping protection legislation passed. As we know from last month's federal judge's ruling on a case in Texas, you can still be fired for asking to bring a breast pump to work. "Firing someone because of lactation or breast-pumping is not sex discrimination," the judge said. These are both feminist issues. Breasts are not exclusively sexual objects just because some guy at Hooters says so. And since only women lactate, firing for lactating is decidedly sex discrimination.
Badinter's arguments are especially laughable in the case of our own family. We are a gay male couple who recently had a baby, which was possible because one of us is "bio-male" and one is transgendered. Our intention was to feed our baby only breastmilk, even though this seemed incredible at the outset. What was more incredible to us was the support we have received from our local La Leche League leaders and members. There could never be a reinforcing of traditional gender roles with us, yet they have been unreservedly helpful. The people we have met through LLL in our small midwestern town have become some of our closest allies.Our baby will be one year old next week and has never tasted infant formula.

Woman transported following accident
FOLLANSBEE - The driver of a minivan was transported by medical helicopter after her vehicle and a tanker truck collided on state Route 2 north of the Wabash Bridge at about 2 p.m. Wednesday.
City firefighters worked for about a half-hour to extricate the woman, whose name and condition weren't available, from her vehicle.
The van was traveling southbound on Route 2 and the truck was northbound when the accident occurred.
It's under investigation by the Brooke County Sheriff's Department.
Sheriff's department seeks suspicious man
FOLLANSBEE - The Brooke County Sheriff's Department is seeking a man believed to have attempted to break into a home on Elaine Street on Hooverson Heights at about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The Brooke County Sheriff's Department said pedestrians in the area said the man appeared to be attempting to gain entry through a front door to the home. They and others in the area described him as wearing a black Steelers jacket with a large Steelers emblem on it, having light brown or dirty blond hair and being about 5 foot 8 inches tall.
Brooke County school officials ordered a lockdown for nearby Hooverson Heights Primary School as well as Jefferson Primary School and Follansbee Middle School as a precaution. In keeping with the school district's lockdown policy, staff members were advised not to admit visitors during the lockdown, which occurred over about 45 minutes.
Anyone with information about the man should call the sheriff's department at (304) 527-1430 or (304) 737-3660.
One in custody after drug raid
STEUBENVILLE - One person was taken into custody Wednesday evening after a raid by the Jefferson County Drug Task Force and City Police.

If you run out of ink, order another printer...since is cheaper than cartridges.
This is a great deal! Can't see if it's new or refurbished, but either way, I've had great experiences with Canon products and customer service! It IS actually cheaper for the printer than the refills, so why not buy 4 and throw them out when they run out of ink? Welcome to America! Land of discarded electronics.
The only negative I see is there is no Fax function, which is the only reason I keep my old Kodak AIO printer hooked up.
@tcayer: there are plenty of online services that allow you to send small (< 5 pages) scans as faxes for free. One I have used before without incident is http://faxzero.com/.
@tcayer: I have the fax model, we love it. We get our ink from one of those refill places, no issues and the unit runs fine. This unit is NEW!!!
5 cents cheaper if you buy it from amazon...still fulfilled by the same adorama company and still free shipping. Makes me laugh.
@mkentosh: Who do you get your ink from? Tried once at Walgreens and none worked
Need a small cheap printer,I'm in for one.
@gusvonpooch: I go to Cartridge World, it's a franchise, but we have had success with them.
This is a deal. I bought an MP280 on a whim from the clearance section at the bookstore to use as an emergency/luxury printer. I paid $26 plus tax. The one I have has similar all in one functions, similar print quality, and etc from Canon without the wireless feature. There were HP wireless models available for $45 but my printer is only for myself and I can print at school/work for free.
If I didn't already have a printer I have only printed 1 test page on I'd be in. This is a deal, free shipping is the deal maker. My similar Canon scans and prints like it's almost worth MSRP. And that's a statement for a bargain hunter.

Electrostatics basically means dealing with time independent electric fields (which was produced by stationary charges)
Now consider a neutral conductor. We know that putting a net negative charge on the conductor, the charge will very quickly spread over the surface till electrostatic equilibrium is reached.
What does this exactly mean? does it mean that electrons on the surface are not "moving" anymore and they become stationary? So in this situation we have 2 kinds of electrons: 1-electrons inside the meat of the conductor whose dynamics is described by quantum mechanics 2-electron on the surface which are not moving in the classical sense?

ERIC RISBERG/Associated Press
The tiki tasting hut in the barrel room of the Judd�s Hill winery is a tipoff: This isn�t your old-school faux chateau.
Which is just the way Napa Valley winemaker Judd Finkelstein and his family want things.
�Much to my delight, one of the most common compliments is, �This has been a lot of fun. We really like coming here; it�s not stuffy,�� says Finkelstein. �That�s music to my ears.�
A few miles north, at Raymond Vineyards in St. Helena, owner Jean-Charles Boisset has been shaking up old winery paradigms. Visitors who sign up for the winemaker-for-a-day program don silver and red lab coats � with matching hats, naturally � and mix their own wine blends in a room decorated with a disco ball and black light.
The new approaches are quite a contrast to the traditional nature of wine country, points out Joe Roberts, founder of the popular website 1WineDude.com and wine columnist for Playboy.com.
�The wine world�s about eight years behind everything with the exception of bottling lines and production techniques,� Roberts says with a laugh.
That can mean ornate tasting rooms where �you walk in and you feel like you can�t move any of the furniture; that kind of thing doesn�t really sit well with the younger generation, particularly Millennials,� says Roberts. �The more inviting you can make something, the more it promotes the view of actually having an honest, human connection, not something that obviously came from a marketing machine.�
Inviting often can mean interactive. Both Judd�s Hill and Raymond have popular blending camps in which visitors make their own custom blends and take home a bottle or more. At Brooklyn Winery, an urban winery in the Williamsburg neighborhood � the unofficial headquarters of hip � visitors can try chardonnay three ways: made as an unoaked, crisp, Chablis-style wine; made in a slightly mellower style with some oak; and made as �orange wine,� in which the skins are left to ferment with the juice, giving the wine an orange hue.
�We�re focused on breaking people�s myths or stereotypes that they have about wine and doing it in a really fun way,� says Brooklyn co-founder Brian Leventhal. �We�re here to open people�s eyes to things they haven�t tried before.�
Looking to mix a little hip with your sips? Here are more details of what�s on tap at these three wineries.
Raymond Vineyards
Under the guidance of Boisset, scion of a French winemaking family who is married to Gina Gallo of the American Gallo wine dynasty, this winery has undergone a major change in recent years.
Outside, the mood is quirky with giant frames on display that make for excellent photo opportunities. Also outside are the Theater of Nature, a 2-acre demonstration of Biodynamic farming, and Frenchie�s Winery, a special area devoted to dogs (named after Boisset�s beloved French bulldog) with its own tasting bar (serving water).
Inside, options abound, from the Red Room, a members-only private club, to the Corridor of the Senses, where a Touch Station and wall-mounted exhibits demonstrate the smell and texture of wine.
Visitors who reserve a spot in the blending session will get to be winemaker for a day, mixing their custom red blend under the tutelage of winery staff, designing a label and taking the bottle home. You also can order a case of your blend if desired. Prices start at $100 for a 1�-hour session.
Judd�s Hill
Don�t be surprised if Finkelstein serenades you with a ukulele. Playing the uke is one of his passions. He performs in the valley with his group Maikai Gents Featuring The Mysterious Miss Mauna Loa.
In addition to the regular tasting room and the tiki hut in the barrel room, Judd�s Hill also offers visitors a Bottling Blending Day Camp. Four people can take part in a session that produces three finished bottles for $225 (other pricing structures available).
The winery hosts several events, including the annual Lobster Luau Wine Fest and presents comedy as well as musical acts such as the jazz group Sketchy Black Dog.
Brooklyn Winery
When you�re a winery based in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, there�s practically a city ordinance requiring hipness. And this winery, opened two years ago by friends Leventhal and John Stires, delivers.
One of the few working wineries in New York City, guests can tour the facilities, watch cutting-edge TV series such as �Breaking Bad� and �Mad Men� in the front-of-house restaurant, and take home some wine in a refillable �growler� bottle, filled with Brooklyn Winery wines available on tap.

The Jeddah-based Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) today expressed deep concern over the recent deadly unrests in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in China that resulted in the death of more than 140 people and injured more than 800 and is ready to extend assistance and to consult with the Government of China about efforts to create a climate of peace and stability in the region.
The OIC Secretary General called upon the Government of China "to carry out prompt, effective and transparent investigation of the this greave incident and bring those responsible to quick justice and to take all possible measures to prevent its recurrence and to see to it that the victims are adequately compensated."
A spokesperson of Organization of Islamic Conference said "the great number of casualties among civilians indicates that the principle of proportionality of the use of force and fire arms was not observed. According to international basic principle on the use of force and fire arms, law enforcement officials should resort to non-lethal methods in confronting civilian riots. "
"The Islamic world is expecting from China, a major and responsible power in the world arena with historical friendly relations with the Muslim world, to deal with the problem of Muslim Minority in China in broader perspective that tackles the root-causes of the problem," the spokesperson added.

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. (WIBW) -- The onslaught of winter weather has kept road crews across the area on their toes.
In Junction City Monday, workers mixed sand and salt to put down on the roads during the expected snowstorm. They didn't get a break due to last week's snowfall and worked through the weekend as they continue to deal with some of the problems this weather has created.
Snow has been thawing and re-freezing and several more inches are expected this time around.
"Generally during the daylight hours when the sun is out, it's able to help assist us as far as heating up that pavement. We're better able to peel that snow off of the pavement. Whereas when the sun sets and the temperatures start to cool down, it's a little more difficult for the plows to be able to peel that material up and it's essentially like moving large rocks," said Greg McCaffery, Municipal Services Director.
For those reasons, crews could not work around the clock clearing streets but McCaffery said Junction City was in "good shape" Monday afternoon. Workers were "dressing up" different areas in town, removing lingering snow and ice chunks.
Meanwhile, folks headed out to the store before the storm hit. WIBW spotted shoppers at the Manhattan Hy-Vee stocking up on the things they needed.
While some see this weather as a major nuisance, others remain unfazed by it- simply attributing it up to Kansas winter.
"It doesn't bother me. As long as you drive slow and don't be reckless, you'll be fine," said Howard Barger, a resident of Alta Vista.
Riley County police ask drivers to decrease their speed and increase their following distance.
"I know that we didn't have an exorbitant number of accidents reported the last snowfall and I hope we can say the same after this. I would have to attribute that to people staying off the roads and driving safely," said Officer Matthew Droge, RCPD's Public Information Officer.
As for school, officials in the Manhattan/Ogden and Geary County school districts say another snow day will probably have an effect on the calendar to make up for the lost time but no decisions have been made.
USD 383 Manhattan/Ogden has built in three weather days and those three weather days for this school year have been used. Officials have identified two days that can be used for inclement weather-- Saturday, May 18 and Friday, May 24. Students are scheduled to be released at noon on Thursday, May 23 but if necessary, they would be kept an extra day if we needed a day.
USD 475 (Geary County and Fort Riley) officials said they could look at possible extending the day by a few minutes or look at pushing back the last day of school. However, no decisions have been made and they don't usually announce any changes to the calendar (like adding time or extending the year) until after at least spring break is over and they are more certain that winter weather has passed.

[4.2] Missing method removeRange in Ext.util.LruCache class
When testing 4.2, my application tried to do a removeAll on an empty store and hit this error
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'removeRange'
PHP Code:
if (removeRange) {
data.removeRange(records.start, removeCount);
data is a "Ext.util.LruCache" class and sure enough, this method doesn't exist on the class.

Can you outline the use case for wanting to clear a buffered store?Evan Trimboli

Don't be afraid of the source code!
23 Mar 2013 4:52 AM #3
I have a set of search filters for the grid. When the person clears the filters, I empty the grid.
I don't check to see if the grid is already empty. I could, but his code has worked since 3.x days.
I added the grid to use a buffered store in 4.1.
24 Mar 2013 12:12 PM #4
Getting the same error too
We are also getting the error of removeRange not being a function in store when using removeAll to delete all the records of an infinite grid. Any clues on that?

Same problem. Tried the following code - no errors but doesn't do anything either:
this.store.remove(this.store.getRange(0, this.store.getCount()));
8 Apr 2013 12:53 AM #7
Same problem here as well
Any workarounds for this?
Is there an alternative way to empty a grid panel?
9 Apr 2013 6:15 PM #8
My workaround is to load the store with an empty array
This will clear the store but you won't get any events.
11 Jul 2013 6:10 AM #9
and.... same problem for me.
I have a grid that loads search results. When the user changes their query I do a store.removeAll() followed by a store.loadPage(1). Everything worked fine until I set buffered:true in an effort to switch from ordinary paging to infinite scrolling.
ahh... the joys... a hiccup at ever step

I want to create a plot showing historical annual maximum and minimum temperatures. I've figured out how to get 10 years of historical temperature data from Wolfram|Alpha. The plot below shows the highest, average high, average low, and lowest temperature during the past ten years for Austin, Tx. The problem occurs when I try to use ColorFunction to control the filling color.
The code below returns a relatively small amount of data that can be used to replicate the problem.
max = Map[#*9/5+32.&, WeatherData["KATT","MaxTemperature",{{2011,1,1},{2011,12,31},"Week"}][[All,2]]];
min = Map[#*9/5+32.&, WeatherData["KATT","MinTemperature",{{2011,1,1},{2011,12,31},"Week"}][[All,2]]];
DateListPlot[{max, min},{{2011,1,1},Automatic,"Week"},Joined->True, Filling->{1->{2}}, ColorFunction ->"Rainbow"]
I would like to have simple a vertical color gradient. Instead, the fill color is a more complicated function of the top curve and the y-axis. I can't describe it properly, but hopefully, the problem is apparent. I've tried several approached to controlling the fill color, but none of them do what I want, and most of them don't work at all.
I would ultimately like to use slightly different filling styles between the highest ever and average highest temperature, and between the average lowest and lowest ever - perhaps less opaque, and for the four plot lines to still be visible.

Massacre must be answered with changes
The shock of the mass shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school has faded, but the sadness of the tragedy still comes in waves, as parents buried their babies this week under the glare of a national media blitz.
Unlike past mass shootings, though, the outrage over the murder of 20 6- and 7-year-old and seven adults seems to have shifted the paradigm in the country's approach to guns, which now number some 300 million. The tragedy also renewed calls on addressing how we treat mental illnesses.
Past school shooting resulted in significant changes in school security measures, ranging from volunteer background checks to instant visitor ID scans that tap into online criminal registries. All schools now require visitors to check in.
School superintendents thoughout the state reacted immediately to the shootings by instructing principals to review security measures. The Polk County Sheriff's office placed deputies in front of county schools to help students and parents safer in the wake of the Connecticut tragedy. Teachers and administrators in the county school system and Lake Wales' charter system talked to students about the shooting en masse and individually, when needed.
A murder in Lake Wales Wednesday prompted school officials to lock down several schools while a suspect was being sought. We are blessed in Polk County to have school and law enforcement officials who act quickly and responsibly when such actions are called for.
We're encouraged by renewed discussion of limiting certain types of weapons, such as semi-automatic assault rifles like the one used in Newtown, and high-capacity magazines that allow assailants to inflict mass casualties without needing to reload. We know there will be pushback from gun rights' advocates for whom any limitations are deemed a restriction of their freedoms. We sense the nation is experiencing a rapid shift toward the view that the price of that dubious definition of freedom is too high.
Perhaps now, too, we will examine the impacts of a nationwide defunding of mental health care in the past decades, especially in Florida, which has essentially shifted the responsibility for treating the mentally ill to private non-profits and local jails. People who kill random victims are by definition mentally ill. The mother of the Newtown shooter reportedly struggled for years to get access to treatment for her deeply troubled son.
Identifying signs of mental illness and increasing affordable treatment options must be part of the policy changes enacted in the wake of this latest massacre.
The changes outlined above may not stop another Columbine, Blacksburg, Aurora or Newtown. But doing nothing is no longer an option.

I have a set of polylines which I need to split at varying distances from their starting points.
In general, I'm looking for a something similar to the SPLIT function within the editor tool. There it is possible to specify a certain line length where the split should be applied.
For instance: I have a line A of 3200m length, that I need to split into two separate geometries, one from 0 til 1700m, and one from 1700m til 3200m.
Does anyone have accomplished this using Python? Or this there no way around ArcObjects? Or might there be a different solution I'm missing?
I'm using ArcGIS Desktop 9.3.1. on WinXP with Python 2.7.2.

There's a very interesting text by Cumrun Vafa called Geometric Physics.
Here I'm particularly interested in Chapter 4, where we take a Calabi-Yau manifold presented as a degenerating fibration:
The appearance of the Dynkin structure for the K3 singularities appears mathematically as purely "accidental". However this accident gets explained in this duality context: One identifies the singular K3 geometries with A-D-E singularities with the points on the heterotic side with enhanced A-D-E gauge symmetry...
I look at the pictures (p.15) and I have a very simple question:
- Is this vanishing K3 obtainable as a vanishing/nearby cycle functor for the cohomology of the fibration?
If it is, I will finally have an example of the abovementioned functor. If not, how to describe this K3 from a math point of view? One possible way would be to vary Kahler parameters and get a true, finite-size K3. Other descriptions?

I dont really like FPS multiplayer anymore, except for CSS. Ill play some split screen COD and thatll be fun as fuck, but its not really the game making it fun; even some single player would still be as good.
Hm, to be honest I have to somewhat agree with this. Other than TF2 and a bit of 1.6, I've not seen much replayability in the FPS department lately. I'm hoping Duke Forever changes this, but lately it's been all Starcraft 2 or LoL for me :/

To the editor:
This is fact - life is not a game, and we are not the trinkets that are moved around the board at the discretion of the players.
As a nation of citizens holds its breath and wonders what will come next, there is worry. There is suffering and that is where the word shame needs to be placed.
Who refused our veterans the right to visit the war memorials? Who withheld burial expenses for a fallen solder who was killed defending the freedom of our country? Is it appropriate to call this a disgrace?
I wonder how anyone with a conscience can hurt the most vulnerable of our land to prove their power.
Who is affected by the actions that we watch on the daily newscasts or read in the newspapers?
It is the veterans, the retirees and those who can't make ends meet. It is the children who need to eat and the widows who live on meager income.
Who sees the hurt and sacrifice that exists? Who will be the next person to awaken with this reality?
How can anyone have such an authority as to deny our right of religious conscience or the freedom to worship without interference?
The unborn babies have lost the battle of life. Why? They aren't considered human beings. They are thought of as a mass of flesh that just happens to have a soul, a heart and a brain.
The elderly? Pushed away from existence as nonessential, when they should be deeply respected for their wisdom and years of sacrifice.
Our words can describe many things, but how can they explain such a drastic turn of events? Are we at the beginning of the end?
We the people have labored for many years to live our independent lifestyle.
There may be heart problems, breathing difficulties and even cancer, but we paid our own way.
What is left for us? We will sit in our homes as utility and food prices go up and hope that our Social Security payments and Medicare benefits won't be stopped.
Yes, this is why we pray. Where else would we place our trust?
Do we wait for the next tirade of who is right or who is wrong? Will we watch the same episodes of indifference that causes more division between people?
I will be patient in this new age where priorities are on power instead of brotherhood, where tearing down is more important than building up and were fact and shame are being confused with criticism and blame.
I haven't cried for many years, but now I weep at the poor decisions that are made in the name of progress.
How long must we struggle? When does it end?
They say, "It isn't over until the fat lady sings." Well, I've just cleared my voice and turned on the music.
What happened to our America, land of the free and home of the brave?

Cape Town Heritage Day celebrations
South Africans will celebrate a long weekend this weekend with Heritage Day taking place on Monday September 24, 2012, and Capetonians are ready to celebrate the day, and their heritage, with vigour.
So excited are locals that Heritage Week celebrations, hosted by the City of Cape Town and various partners, have already been taking place all over the city as part of the in_herit Festival.
One of the partners, the Iziko South African Museum, has put together a variety of events for locals to sink their teeth into, including guided tours of the ceramics exhibition at the Castle of Good Hope, a Zulu exhibition at the Slave Lodge, a show and tell by the director of the social history collection, Lalou Meltzer, about the study and collection of coins and medals (numismatics) at the Slave Lodge and another guided tour at the Bo-Kaap Museum. View the full programme of events here.
If you're a poetry lover and looking to soak up the spoken word as it intertwines with melodic indigenous sounds, you are sure to enjoy the lunchtime poetry session on Friday September 21, 2012 at the South African National Library.
Parents looking to entertain their kids haven't been left out of the event calender. During Heritage Weekend, children are able to learn and play indigenous games at the City of Cape Town's Come and Play initiative at the Grass Paddock at the Iziko South African Museum, take in a screening at the Planetarium and attend an edutainment show with Tracey the snake lady.
During Heritage Weekend the Iziko Ampitheatre will host a number of performing art and music events which will highlight the city's diverse cultural heritage. Participants are set to include the Happy Feet Dance Project, Jikileza and Hilton Schilder, among others.
Another partner, Creative Cape Town, will bring its Heritage Week celebrations to an end this weekend by showcasing ways in which small city spaces can be used to host small-scale events and activities. These displays will include skateboarders and buskers in the Company's Garden.
On Heritage Day, in addition to the countless braais taking place at homes and in national parks, the week's festivities will culminate with a free concert at the Company's Garden. Pack a picnic basket, bring your family and enjoy the sounds of the Cape Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, poet Toni Stuart and Latin Jazz artists Hassan 'Adas and Friends, while sitting on the lawns, or pop along to the Iziko Slave Lodge for a lunchtime poetry session.
There are so many events to atttend on Heritage Day, including a production of An African Tale to the Mother City, which will be launched by St George's Cathedral Crypt Memory and Witness Centre. The production celebrates the courage of those who pushed for the right of African families to live and work in Cape Town during the late 1970s and 1980s. Music will be provided by the Hout Bay Music Project Trust.
All the events are free of charge, excluding entry to the Castle of Good Hope and the Planetarium, which are free on Heritage Day, September 24, only.
If you would like to explore more of the Mother City's culture and heritage at your own pace, visit our Top Five Cultural and Heritage Spots in Cape Town blog for some inspiration.

Children show they're tired through changes in behaviour. For example, your child might be suddenly irritable, overactive or demanding.
It's important to look for your child's 'tired signs'. This can help you reduce stimulation and start settling your child before overtiredness sets in.
Newborn babies will probably get overtired if they've been awake for more than 1-1½ hours. At 3-6 months, your baby will be overtired after 1½-3 hours awake.
If your newborn is tired, you might see some of the following tired signs:
At 6-12 months, your baby will be overtired after 2-3 hours awake. At 12-18 months, your baby will be overtired if he misses out on his morning or afternoon sleep.
If your baby or toddler is tired, you might see some of the following tired signs:
If your child is showing signs of tiredness, you can reduce stimulation by:
Some quiet time before bed will help your child settle to sleep:
When it comes to sleep, every baby is different, as the parents in this video note. But it can really help to get to know your own baby's tired signs.
These mums and dads also talk about encouraging baby sleep. In particular, they share tips on:
You might need to experiment to find out what works for your baby.

My muffin recipe calls for 1 1/3 cups of nonfat dry milk. Other than the 4 eggs, there is no other liquid. How much skim milk would I substitute for the dry milk?
You don't, it will not work.
You want to substitute liquid milk for dried milk.
What you don't realise is that the dried milk in such a recipe is acting as a bulking agent, ie. the dried milk is already substituting for some flour.
If you don't have dried milk, you should look for another recipe that doesn't use it, if you want to be certain of reliable results.
I have to respectfully dissagree with the above post. 2 cups of water and 1 cup of dry milk gives you 2 cups if milk... it does not add to the bulk. You can however, substitute scalded milk for powdered milk. Powedered milk is called for generalky when regular milk enzymes will react with your ingredients and make an inferior product, especialky in bread making. Scalding the milk removes the enzymes.

This blue, white and red colored logo has a silhouette of a baseball player getting ready to swing his bat as the ball approaches. The design was created by Jerry Dior in 1968. Later in 1969, the new MLB logo design started being added to the uniforms of all the MLB players. The use of the players pose in the logo makes it a universal player. He could be right or left handed, and can be of any race or ethnicity. I had fun with drawing the MLB logo because it was easy to recreate. I hope all you baseball fans out there enjoy this tut as well. Peace folks!

No one was injured this morning when a fire destroyed a house in Easton, according to a Sheriff's Office official.
The fire was reported at 5:41 a.m. today at a two-story, single family home in the 200 block of Kickapoo Street in Easton.
The fire is believed to have started in the kitchen area of the house. The blaze has been ruled accidental, according to Undersheriff Jim Sherley.
The Easton Township Fire Department was the primary fire agency to respond. But several other area fire departments provided mutual aid.
