Channel Island Lizard Taken Off Threatened List | KCET
Channel Island Lizard Taken Off Threatened List
The island night lizard, which grows between 5-8 inches long, is found only on San Clemente, San Nicolas, and Santa Barbara islands off the California coast, along with Sutil Island, a 14-acre islet half a mile from Santa Barbara Island.
When it was listed, the night lizard was under siege by introduced predators such as feral cats and rats, and introduced grazers such as feral goats and rabbits were devouring the lizards' preferred habitat. According to USFWS, though, those threats have been countered, as have the invasive exotic plants that displaced the lizards. The agency now says the lizards now number in the millions.
It hasn't hurt that all of the islands the night lizard calls home are owned by the federal government. San Clemente and San Nicolas islands are owned and managed by the U.S. Navy, while Santa Barbara Island and its tiny neighbor Sutil Island belong the the National Park Service. That's simplified tasks such as removing introduced predators and yanking out weeds.
In 2004, the Navy petitioned USFWS to delist the lizards on San Clemente and San Nicolas islands, claiming that each island's population was properly considered a Distinct Population Segment (equivalent to a species under the Endangered Species Act) and saying that the population of night lizards on each of the two islands had recovered.
That prompted a 2006 status review for the lizard, and in February 2013 USFWS finally got around to its response: a proposal that the lizard be delisted throughout its range. With this new ruling, scheduled for printing in the Federal Register on April 1, that delisting becomes official.
According to USFWS, estimates of the lizard's current population range from 15,300 on San Nicolas and 17,600 on Santa Barbara/Sutil, with an astonishing 21.3 million estimated for San Clemente Island. The estimates didn't count lizards, but merely assessed the acreage of lizard habitat on each island and used mathematical models to extrapolate estimated total populations.
At least one of the reviewers that commented on the delisting proposal in 2013 challenged the delisting, saying that the lizards and their habitat on San Nicolas Island were far from secure, and suggesting USFWS either retain the San Nicolas Island population or the entire species on the Threatened list. Other commenters suggested that a looming threat to the lizards, climate change, hasn't been ameliorated.
USFWS pointed to the night lizards' varied and omnivorous diet to suggest that the lizards might well be able to adapt to climate change. The agency ruled that despite a smaller population and less suitable habitat on San Nicolas Island, the lizard had nonetheless recovered to the point where it no longer meets the legal definition of "Threatened."
That varied and omnivorous diet that's helping USFWS feel better about the island night lizard's diet in a warming world includes insects, other small animals, and plant matter -- which makes up as much as half of some island night lizards' stomach contents. Though some of the night lizard's mainland cousins are among the smallest lizards in North America, the island night lizard -- freed from predation by larger animals as it evolved on the island -- is significantly larger. Individual island night lizards have been known to live 25 years or more in the wild. Despite their common name, night lizards are generally most active during the day, though they do tend to spend their days hiding under tree limbs and other objects. In the case of San Clemente Island, those objects apparently include decaying sheets of plywood discarded by Navy workers.

Q: What is the regulation regarding residents in the city raking their leaves, pine straw, etc. into the street. When will the city pick this up? I always place mine in bags and limbs in containers. When it rains and all this trash flows into the drainage areas then the streets flood. - Alice Wales, Huntsville
A. There is, in fact, an ordinance - Section 20-279, Ordinance 97-817, according to Terry Hatfield, the city's director of Public Works Services. That is the law that addresses loose yard materials.
Trash is picked up once a week in Huntsville, and there shouldn't be mounds of it lying around for long periods, Kathy Hunt, city sanitation manager, said in answering an earlier Ask Us question.
But if a homeowner's regular trash day is Monday, and they put a big pile of limbs or bags out that afternoon after the crew has already been by, the piles could be around for a week.
She said under city law residents may place yard waste next to that part of the right of way normally used by vehicles, so as not to obstruct sidewalks, road traffic or the flow of water. "It's just common sense," Hunt said, adding that authorities try to work with homeowners.
"The city really tries to understand that some people don't have as much yard space as others," she said. But no one is allowed to dump trash and debris in the road.
"The limbs don't become the property of the city once they hit the street," Hunt said.
Leaves, grass and other yard waste must be in containers; the city doesn't pick up piles of grass, she said. The city does collect piles of loose leaves but only from early November through the end of February.
Hunt said anyone with questions or who wants to report a hazardous situation can call the Sanitation Department at 883-3964, then press 5 to speak with someone.
Hatfield said leaves should be placed on top of the curb.
"If there's a sidewalk, put it between the sidewalk and the curb,'' he said. "We don't want it on the street. We'd like it on top of the curb, so the water can flow and not clog up the inlets and drains.'' - By The Times Staff

The cats and kittens at The Oregon Cat Project disagree with the old adage that every time a bell rings an angel gets their wings. For them, every time a bell rings, one of them potentially gets a new home. The bell would be the one on The Oregon Cat's adoption center door. Hundreds of kittens have gone home this year, but the job is not done yet, as over 100 more wait and their only holiday wish is for a home, their forever home.
The kittens are not the only ones looking for a new home at TOCP as 2011 comes to a close. The adults ranging in age from one to ten years of age wait patiently in their room, as their wait is unfortunately, normally, two to three times longer than that of the kittens.
One beautiful calico girl, named Callie, has resided at TOCP since January of 2010. Lucky for Callie, she will stay at TOCP for as long as it takes for her to get adopted because it is her home. The Oregon Cat is a no-kill rescue and there is no ticking clock for any cat or kitten.
Adoption fees for adults at TOCP were reduced this year to just $40, making them more affordable for everyone. Adoption fees should not be a barrier to great cats getting great homes. The best thing about adopting a cat from a rescue is that you are actually saving two lives. The cat you adopt and the one who gets to take his space. The Oregon Cat Project is seeking both adoptions and donations this holiday season.
Donations can be made online on TOCP's website or any US Bank. For holiday hours, more information, or to see the cats currently available, go to TheOregonCat.Org. The Oregon Cat Adoption Center is located at 342 B Ave, Lake Oswego.

Welcome to the Emergency Medicine Residency Program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, one of the premier clinical, educational, and research institutions in the United States. The program is designed to provide a challenging, hands-on patient care experience in two large emergency departments Birmingham, AL. The program conforms to all requirements specified by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and is fully accreditated by the Residency Review Committee for Emergency Medicine.
The major clinical facility within the Medical Center is UAB Hospital, consisting of approximately 1,100 beds in multiple separate structures. In 2015, UAB Hospital was ranked the nation's third-largest public hospital. The North Pavilion, opened in 2004, houses the University Emergency Department as well as a number of inpatient medical, surgical, and critical care beds and operating suites.
The second component Emergency Department is situated at Children's of Alabama, a 350-bed freestanding pediatric specialty hospital. With a combined volume of more than 120,000 pediatric and adult visits to the ED in 2013, the UAB Emergency Medicine Residency Program provides the resident with exposure to a broad and deep variety of critical and non-critical adult and pediatric illnesses and injuries. Through a carefully graduated learning experience, the resident is provided appropriate direction and teaching to many disease states first at a basic level, progressing to increased patient care responsibilities.
A community ED rotation during the second and third year of the residency program is located at Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery, Alabama. This busy, urban community ED sees an undifferentiated population of adult and pediatric patients with a volume of approximately 50,000 patients per year.
With the construction of the state-of-the-art Emergency Department and the 850,000-square-foot health-care facility (North Pavilion) that opened in 2004, UAB has treatment areas and facilities ready for the latest advances in medical technology. UAB's most recent addition, the Women and Infants Center (opened in 2010), provides comprehensive health care services for women at all stages of life from childbirth to menopause as well as for those with special health concerns.
The Department of Emergency Medicine (a separate clinical department within the medical center) is composed of board-certified emergency physicians dedicated to the provision of patient care in the Emergency Department including all instructional, educational, and quality-assurance activities. Longevity among the faculty is excellent, with many of them working at UAB for more than 10 years.
A Message from Our Residency Director:
Instituted in 2001, the UAB Emergency Medicine Residency Program is an integral portion of the professional life of the faculty and staff of the Emergency Department at two component hospitals at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Medical Center. The training of emergency medicine housestaff, housestaff from other disciplines, medical students, nursing students, and emergency medical technician students is one of the key functions of the Department of Emergency Medicine and ranks second in importance only to the provision of direct patient care.
The goal of this program is to accomplish the training of medical graduates in the wide variety of pathologic conditions that are manifest in the Emergency Department setting and to instill the confidence and self-discipline necessary to enable our emergency medicine residents to become competent emergency medicine specialists upon completion of residency. An emergency physician must be accomplished in the presentation, treatment, and subsequent disposition of a wide spectrum of patients ranging from critical to minor in severity of illness or injury. The breadth of medical knowledge required for the proper treatment of such patients must be combined with an awareness of the psychological, social, and other needs of Emergency Department patients. The emergency physician with such experience becomes a true specialist in the efficient diagnosis and therapy of human illness.
- Andrew Edwards, M.D.

|[TowerTalk] Let's Move On
|"Jerry Keller - K3BZ" <firstname.lastname@example.com>
|Wed, 12 Jan 2005 13:39:33 -0500
To my fellow TT'ers:
Steve has responded, and we are each free to draw our own conclusions according to our own values. We are each free to reach our own decision as to the appropriate way to react. We're (hopefully) all adults... as is Steve... as is Mr. Cariello. As adults, we can choose the best way to go on from here. Our choices will, as always, reflect who and what we are.
I find great value in TowerTalk as an information and advice forum, and I would like it to survive this situation. I would... with respect... suggest that we all discontinue discussion of this matter on the reflector. Some of us may feel the need to unsubscribe themselves and not participate further. Some of us will want to go on. I for one want to put this matter aside and move on.
Quite correctly, I have nothing to say about how TT is run. I know this is not about me, but it happens that I'm
the "owner" of aYahooGroup. Not because I really "own" anything, but because that's the
title Yahoo assigns to the guy whose privelege it is to serve the membership by taking the Group controls.
I'm not trying to set any standards here, but I feel "my" YahooGroup is really "owned" by all the 700+ members, not by me. I make decisions based on what I think is good for the group, and so far whatever's been good for the group has also been good for me. I aim to keep it that way, but if any of the
members feel like bashing me, they are certainly welcome to do so. I'm not perfect and I'd be a fool
not to listen... because, who knows, I might learn something from what they have to say.
I might not enjoy it, but I just might gain from it.
But hey, that's just me... anyone else's mileage may vary... and here's the important thing: we're all human and we all screw up on
occasion and we all say and do things that we might regret but don't like to admit and just hope
will blow over so we can... move on. So, please, let's.
my 2.5 cents...
73, Jerry K3BZ

"I wanted a small decal to add a personal touch to candy bar jars and favors and this was perfect. It was both elegant and cute and fit into my fall winery color scheme . Ordering on line can be tricky, but I loved how the colors and paper quality turned out."
"Oh my goodness I love these! We put an ampersand instead of a letter and they look so cute. The pink went well with our invitations even though they weren't an exact match. (We did the "Flourishing Joy" ones.) They're going to go on our macaroon boxes and I think they're perfect."
"The design is nice but I would have liked the flexibility to change the size of the "statement" to include more wording at the bottom; like full first names instead of initials."
"I personalized this sticker for my Alice in Wonderland themed Bridal Shower and put the stickers on mini mason jars filled with candy. The labels were really cute and fit perfectly. Well made, great color. Happy customer!"
"These tags will look great on my favors and on the bags that I give away for the people that book rooms at the hotel. They are stickers and match the entire collection that I purchased for my wedding invitation. The designers were able to set it that both initials fit and the date. It came out perfect!"

Any questions concerning the imminent arrival of the Oscar movie season can be put to rest now with the arrival in theaters of "Atonement."
This is not to suggest, necessarily, that this British period picture adapted from a well-regarded novel is destined to win several Oscars.
It will certainly contend for many golden statuettes when the time comes, if for no other reason than that the aged members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences eat this stuff up -- and, just possibly, primarily for that reason.
"Atonement" is an Oscar movie because it wants to be, strives to be in the most egregious manner, baiting its Oscar hook with all manner of grand tableaus, upper-crusty dining scenes with characters named Cecilia and Briony, and unspeakable tragedy.
This is a film in which the players write letters to their loves in sparkling penmanship, drawing on deep wells of beautiful language: "I can become again the man who once crossed the surrey park at dusk, in my best suit, swaggering on the promise of life."
Nobody save literary novelists uses words like this anymore, and this is a pity. "Atonement" is to be championed for attempting to raise cultural brows with its high-faluting tone. And that's why it's such a disappointment that this film, while unmistakably a fine film, doesn't quite accomplish what it sets out to do.
Like "No Country for Old Men," the other high-profile literary adaptation of this season, "Atonement" is rigorously faithful to the original novel by Ian McEwan. But is that always such a good thing? As an art form, cinema differs vastly from the printed page -- or at least it should.
"Atonement" tells the story of a love sundered by the very adult fib of a 13-year-old girl, Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan). Crushing on the 1935 British manor equivalent of the local stable boy, Robbie Turner (James McAvoy), Briony gets her revenge when she spies Robbie crushing on her adult sister Cecilia (Keira Knightley) in a most adult fashion.
After a rape occurs on the Tallis estate one confusing night, Briony fingers the innocent Robbie for the crime. He's rushed off to prison, and a few scenes later rushed off to pre-invasion France, where he gets caught up in the morass at Dunkirk.
Back in war-ravaged London, Cecilia pines, while Briony, now 18 and a nurse and played by a wonderful Romola Garai, realizes the error of her ways and writes letters -- "I am very, very sorry for the distress that I have caused" -- that nobody reads.
The story of "Atonement" turns much, much sadder than this, on which we won't elaborate, except to say that a present-day scene featuring an elderly Briony is wrenching. This Briony is portrayed by Vanessa Redgrave, who can do so much with just one moment.
A lot happens in the novel of "Atonement," ultimately probably more than is necessary for the film, although it's all here. The novel also plays with matters of time and perception, which the film unfortunately apes as well.
This all muddies things up a bit, but worse than that waters down the emotional impact the story should have. And when 30 minutes of high drama transpire, only to be later revealed as pure fiction, we were, frankly, almost insulted.
We'll say this -- Knightley does things for a Depression-era bathing suit (with cap) that we didn't think possible.
"Atonement" is directed by Joe Wright, who evidently found his muse in Knightley with 2005's "Pride & Prejudice." We look forward to their next project together, now that this exercise in sterile prestige is behind them.
3 stars. This film is rated R for disturbing war images, language and some sexuality. 130 min.

Raises for 61 non-union employees were approved by the Fort Dodge City Council Monday.
Those workers will receive a 1.25 percent raise on July 1, and a 2 percent raise on Jan. 1, 2014.
The increases will cost the city $137,134.74 during the 2013-2014 fiscal year. They are intended to mirror raises awarded to members of American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 61, which were included in their newest contract.
Jeff Nemmers, the city clerk and finance director, said money for the Jan. 1 raise was included in the 2013-2014 budget. Money for the July 1 raise was not included, but he said a variety of cost-saving measures will ensure that the city has the money for the raises. Those cost savings include some personnel turnover that resulted in new staffers being hired at lower pay grades, and a reduction in the amount of money paid for impounding dogs and cats picked up by the animal control officer.
Nemmers said the July 1 raise amounts to .3 percent of the general fund budget.
''The pay raise is probably deserved for a lot of them,'' Councilman Mark Taylor said.
However, he said he objected to awarding the raises.
''We just keep running things up higher and higher,'' he said. ''Where are we going to stop?''
Taylor said he would have voted against the raise. He did not do so because the raise was included in a collection of business items, called the consent agenda, which is approved or rejected on a single vote. At nearly every meeting, council members remove items from the consent agenda so that they can be debated and acted upon individually. However, no one removed the measure regarding the raises from the consent agenda, which was approved in its entirety. Councilmen Dave Flattery and Andy Fritz were absent from the otherwise unanimous vote.
In other business, the council endorsed an effort to have a large stone covered with a patriotic painting placed on the city's west side near the Karl King Bridge. The Freedom Rock would be similar to one found in southwest Iowa.
If the city's application is approved by the leadership of the Freedom Rock Tour, the stone would be placed and painted in 2015.
Also on Monday, Taylor recommended that the city's animal control officer be assigned to deal with complaints about wild animals such as skunks, raccoons and opossums.
''I think a wild animal in somebody's yard is just as important for safety purposes as a cat or a dog running loose in the neighborhood,'' he said. ''I think we should take care of it if there's a wild animal running loose in town.''
The council is scheduled to continue reviewing a proposed overhaul of the animal control laws during its June 24 meeting.

Do Amish celebrate Halloween?
While Amish do grow a lot of the pumpkins that become the Jack-o-Lanterns adorning homes across the nation today, the Amish themselves do not carve or display their own.
The most you might see are some uncarved pumpkins and gourds festively arranged at some homes (though I suppose that could just as easily fall under the category of "autumn decorations").
In the new Concise Encyclopedia of Amish, Brethren, Hutterites, and Mennonites (more on that to come), Donald Kraybill tells us that "TRADITIONAL GROUPS [ie, Amish], in keeping with their separatist stance, are more likely to ignore holidays such as Halloween in the United States or its equivalent in other countries, and holidays that emphasize nationalistic military themes" (Concise Encyclopedia, p 107).
However, I must add that I was surprised once when an Indiana Amishman told me that yes, in fact his family did regularly celebrate on Halloween.
Well, just what did they do? Birthday cake and candles, for October 31st is his daughter's birthday, he explained with a grin.

NEW YORK — Martin Brodeur's first shutout of the season was a long time coming, but the Devils' 39-year-old goaltender couldn't have picked a better time.
In the Devils' first visit to the renovated Madison Square Garden, David Clarkson extended his scoring streak to five games with his 21st goal and Brodeur posted his 116th career shutout, 1-0, over the Rangers.
The Devils have not lost since the All-Star break. They are 5-0, including a pair of victories over the Rangers in a span of eight days.
Clarkson has eight points (five goals, three assists) in the five games.
It was Brodeur's ninth career shutout against the Rangers.
The Rangers almost scored with 3.5 seconds left but Artem Anisimov's goal was disallowed when Marian Gaborik ran into Brodeur. Zach Parise had turned the puck over in the neutral zone with an empty net.
"You hate losing to the Devils no matter how you lose," Rangers defenseman Marc Staal said. "I thought they sat back in the third and we took over the game and got some opportunities to score. We just couldn't get one by (Brodeur)."
At the other end, Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist stopped 21 of 22 shots and that was a power play goal by Clarkson.
Rangers defenseman Stu Bickel was sent off for holding Clarkson at 7:24 of the first period. Lundqvist made a blocker save on a chip from Parise, but the Devils captain wound up getting the puck back for a centering pass.
Parise fed Clarkson, whose shot from the left hash marks at 8:14, beat Lundqvist over his left shoulder. Clarkson has eight points (five goals, three assists) in the five games.
"You always get the sense when Marty and Lundqvist play each other that they want to outdo each other," Parise said. "Ninety-nine times out of a hundred it's a great goaltending battle and it was again."
Brodeur tipped his cap to Lundqvist, who kept the Rangers in the game when he stopped Jacob Josefson skating in all alone with 12:38 remaining.
"He's unbelievable. He didn't get a shot for like 20 minutes and he gets a breakaway and it seems like it's nothing," Brodeur noted. "He played a helluva game again. It took a perfect shot to beat him."
The Rangers outshot the Devils, 15-1, in the third period but couldn't get the tying goal. The Devils are now six points behind the Rangers.
"I think we're trying to shake off people around us more than anything," Brodeur said. "Short term we're looking at people in front of us. I don't think we're looking at the top teams yet. Even though we're playing well against them, I don't think we're there yet."

25-Year-Club event remains important
There was a time when the day of the 25-Year-Club picnic required announcements of parking plans, transportation plans, buses to shuttle the people of the steel mill in Weirton from downtown to the Serbian Picnic Grounds.
There would have been enough food to take care of at least two shifts of thousands of employees, plus all the retirees who would show up for the event. Entertainment and a day of reminiscing were all part of the experience.
But with the mill having gone through various owners and the decline of the steel industry in the United States, the picnic, like the mill itself, is smaller, but still important.
This year's picnic is 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Serbian Picnic Grounds.
The smaller and shorter picnic is a reminder of what has changed. The mill is no longer the employer of 12,000 people, and the number of retirees has begun to dwindle as time and age catches up with them. Hundreds will still gather, instead of the thousands of decades past.
The history of the community and the mill are still tied up with that factory and always will be, long after demolition crews and redevelopment change the landscape of the north end of Weirton.
The Weirton Steel Division of National Steel Corp. founded the club in 1945 as a way to honor its long-term employees. Community sponsors have generously stepped up as the factory no longer pays for the picnic. For the community, the picnic symbolizes the days when steel dominated the area economically.
For the workers, it's still a great way for those still working to connect with those who came before them, a tradition that has endured for a lifetime.

The first teaser trailer for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" released today, giving viewers an eerie glimpse into the chillingly calm public service messages from President Snow.
In the video, Snow delivers a message to the districts that is more threatening than comforting following several riots against the capital and Panem.
Most distressing of all, Hunger Games victor Peeta is seen standing beside President Snow during the address.
"Since the dark days, our great nation has known only peace," President Snow said during the message. Ours is an elegant system, conceived to nourish and protect. Your districts are the body. The capital is the beating heart. Your hard work feeds us, and in return, we feed and protect you. But if you resist the system, you starve yourself. If you fight against it, it is you who will bleed."
The teaser captures the dark tone of the third installment, which centers around the districts' rebellion against the capital.
"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" will hit theatres on Nov. 21.

Where: The top of the Empire State Building or the middle of Central Park are too predictable. Try something low-key and totally unexpected instead. Channel your inner Don Draper and ask a friendly barman at Grand Central's upscale, retro-chic cocktail lounge the Campbell Apartment to add a "Will you marry me?" message to a perfect Manhattan (just wrap it around the cocktail stirrer). Or take the subway to Brooklyn's DUMBO neighborhood, where you'll find the newly built Pier One at Brooklyn Bridge park—the stunning views of downtown Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge can't be beat.
Why: The history, architecture, and energy of this bustling metropolis sets the stage for a memorable moment.
Where to stay: Head to the hip Standard Hotel for a grown-up getaway in the hip Meatpacking District.

What car to get??
This time next year I will be getting a NEW CAR!!! The one I have now will be paid off. My husband will then use it. because it gets great gas Mileage (A Toyota Corolla 2010)
And I am looking to get something bigger. Now that I have a baby, on top of 3 dogs. Traveling in a small car sucks.
Here is what I am looking at.
Toyota FJ, or a 4 door Jeep.
Any one have one of these 2 that can give me the Pros and cons that you have experienced in having one.
Find out about our adoption at our Facebook blog.
In 2011 we decided to adopt.
In 2012 we got to take home our Lady Bug
Now in 2013 we will finalize our adoption.
I had an FJ Cruiser when they first came out. I really loved it, but got rid of it when we were trying for our second. The lack of a real door for the back seats was really bothersome and I couldn't imagine trying to get a newborn in and out of there.
Personally, I am digging the new Ford Explorers.
Nope - I have a 2012 Mazda 5 - it is a "mini-minivan". Love it!

Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly said on Thursday that country singing star Keith Urban will return to the panel as the only holdover from a tumultuous Season 12.
"He's a funny guy and people really liked him," Reilly told reporters at the TV critics press tour. "I don't think he got a chance to let his personality shine through (last season)."
Indeed, Urban was overshadowed by feuding judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, both of whom have departed, along with longtime arbiter Randy Jackson. It was generally assumed that "Idol" would make a clean sweep of the panel, but Urban managed to survive the carnage.
As for the rest of the panel, it's still a blank slate with Reilly claiming there is nothing new to report. He did confirm that Fox has had talks with Jennifer Lopez about returning to the show, but "no deal is in place."
As for the overall makeup of the panel, Reilly said, "We want comfortable judges who make it comfortable to view. ... And we want to return the focus to the contestants."
Later in the day, E! Online reported that, according to a source close to the show, will.i.am was being considered for a spot on the "Idol" panel.


text: There was a nice discussion on the Biotech values board between iwfal and p3analyze about PFS . It was spurred on by some commentary made when SNTA presented at the JPM conference, and it spurred me to listen to the rebroadcast. The point of discussion regarded the comment about PFS in the NSCLC trial. Specifically, PFS in the Docetaxel only population was due to new lesions forming, whereas few in the Ganetespib + Docetaxel population showed such new lesions. As a follow up, Iwfal found a few papers which were retrospectively assessing this phenomenon. While still early, it does lend support to the idea that the ability to block new lesions from forming may be a very good predictor of a drugs chances for success. Hopefully, rather than a simple PFS report, we can dissect the PFS to include the metric of new lesion formation to another new metric, measurements of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), as better early indicators of OS improvement.

The Portland Timbers were 10 seconds away from posting their first win in nearly a month.
Unfortunately for them, a handball call led to the New York Red Bulls scoring the equalizing goal on a penalty kick and the Timbers had to swallow a bitter 3-3 draw in an entertaining game in front of the sold out crowd of 18,627 at Jeld-Wen Field Sunday night.
Jack Jewsbury scored a goal and assisted on another as the Portland Timbers (5-6-3, 18 points) snapped a three-game losing streak. But the Timbers were mere seconds away from securing a full three points instead on one point, but the handball call on defender Rodney Wallace inside the box resulted in New York (5-2-8, 23 points) forward Dwayne De Rosario burying the penalty kick.
"The guys are gutted," Jewsbury said. "This is two games in a row where we've given up some points late in games. We thought we deserved more."
The handball on Wallace inside the Timbers' box occurred after Red Bulls' midfielder Mehdi Ballouchy's cross. The ball bounced off Wallace's right arm.
"I was trying to block (the ball) and at the same time, get out of the way," Wallace said. "(The ball) hit me in between the arm and the body. I don't know if it was a clear handball. I thought my arm was stuck to my body. But the referee made the call."
It's the second consecutive week the Timbers' conceded a goal in the waning moments of a game. The Timbers allowed Colorado to scored the winning goal in stoppage time in their 1-0 loss June 11.
"If someone wants to come help us pick up our heads right now - it's frustrating," goalkeeper Troy Perkins said. "We've got to keep our confidence."
The Timbers have plenty of reason to maintain some confidence despite the four-game winless streak. The Timbers, playing without suspended head coach John Spencer on the sideline, outplayed the Eastern Conference leaders in the second half after a slow start in which they gave up a goal in the fifth minute.
"We had a chance to take three points off what I consider the most potent attacking force in the country," Spencer said after the game. "From the 46th minute to the 90th minute. We ran them ragged. We outplayed them. We outran them. We were better than them in every department. For a number of minutes, they were struggling to cope with us."
The Timbers erased New York's lead with Jewsbury's 18-yard blast in the 48th minute and then with Kevin Goldthwaite's first goal of the season less than a minute later.
"Jack steps up and smashes one into the back of the net that gets us back in the game and gave us a huge adrenalin shot," Spencer said. "That's when we started to control the game."
The Timbers took a 3-1 lead after an own goal by former Portland Timbers defender Stephen Keel. The Timbers were dominating the game and looked to be on their way to a win.
"It's a tribute to the team the way we came out in the second half and dominated," said Jewsbury, whose goal was his team-leading fourth of the season. "From that standpoint, we've got to take the positives from the way we approached the second half.
However, as the Timbers have shown in the past, few leads are safe with them.
New York star forward Thierry Henry - who was red carded and ejected during stoppage time - scored his eighth goal of the season in the 73rd minute, cutting the Timbers' lead to 3-2 and giving the Red Bulls their own injection of energy.
"They deserved to win. But that's the way it is sometimes," said Henry, who assisted on New York's first goal. "If they scored a penalty (kick) they'd be one up, but they didn't score."
Indeed, the Timbers had a chance to go up 4-2 after New York goalkeeper Greg Sutton was given a yellow card after he tripped up Portland forward Jorge Perlaza in the penalty box. Jewsbury's penalty kick bounced off the far post and ricocheted away in the 77th minute.
"He's obviously gutted in the locker room," Spencer said. "He's apologized to everybody, which he didn't have to do, because there's no apology needed."
Notes: Central defender David Horst went down after a midair collision with Red Bulls' goalkeeper Greg Sutton after a free kick into the box in the 42nd minute. Horst returned to finish the first half, but was replaced by Goldthwaite at halftime after being diagnosed with a left hip flexor. …Keel, a defender with the Timbers when they were in Division 2 in 2010, was trying to stop a crossing pass from Jorge Perlaza, but the sliding Keel's momentum knocked the ball into the net for an own goal in the 67th minute. …New York midfielder John Rooney, brother of Manchester United star Wayne Rooney, came on as a substitute in the 81st minute. Rooney trained with the Timbers last summer.

Hello All,
Sorry for jumping in as I usually just read the threads and don't comment much. I have some knowledge so I hope it helps
I have over a year of experience running in minimalist shoes, including a marathon.
If you are serious about going minimalist or barefoot I highly recommend visiting this website: Two Rivers Treads. It has many topics and will give you a true understanding of the mechanics behind barefoot or minimalist running.
I have met Dr Mark C. many times and he is one of the most down to earth guys I know. He taught me how to slowly transition to minimal running without causing injury. The most important thing to remember is transition slowy!! Most people dont and jump right into running 3+ miles in shoes they aren't used to, only to get injured within a few weeks and wonder why. Most people, like myself, are heal strikers so when making the swicth to minimalist or barefoot running you will have to reprogram your running gait to prevent injury.
hope this helps!

SOD report claims 19:1 return on city funds
SALEM – Larry Kosiba of the Sustainable Opportunity Development Center said the city has a return of $19 for every $1 spent on SOD contracts over the past few years, with the numbers providing evidence of an economic impact.
"We're very pleased. We think a 19 to 1 ratio is exceptional," he said.
Kosiba received the green light for another three months of economic development activity from city council's Economic Development Committee after giving committee members an update on the second quarter activities Tuesday night.
Kosiba presented them with a written report highlighting the successes and what's happening in the areas of business development, business attraction, business expansion, business retention, grant applications and other activities in the quest to attract developers, retailers and industry to the city of Salem.
The committee had agreed previously to use money from council's economic development fund, but on the condition that they release the funds on a quarterly basis after hearing a report from Kosiba, who serves as executive director of the SOD Center, which has to match the money provided by council. The committee agreed to release another $10,000 from the fund, which had $40,000 in it at the start of the year.
In a chart he created to show the community funding impact from the SOD Center, he listed the funding received from grants and philanthropy and compared that total with what city council had approved in contracts with the SOD Center. He said the $54,300 paid by the city for the TIF zone work, Project Seed Base and the economic development activity had enabled the SOD Center to leverage $1 million from the community through private funding and grants.
"That's the hard facts," he said.
The grants he pointed out stretched back to 2010 and this year included $400,000 from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to identify both hazardous and petroleum brownfield sites and $100,000 from the Appalachian Regional Commission towards the cost of a water line project on state Route 14 to the north of the city. The city still needs final approval on the ARC grant from the Governor's Office of Appalachia.
As another success, he pointed to the Salem Pointe residential development project on the east end. The apartment project by NRP received the necessary points for funding approval, but didn't receive the funding this year, delaying the development.
For business attraction, he noted the same projects as before, but added a distribution center to the list. Kosiba said he may be able to name the manufacturing start-up company he's been talking about when the next quarterly report rolls around. He explained that some of these projects take time to develop.
For the apartment project, he said he's still looking for commercial opportunities for part of the land in question, especially since the project may not be ready in time for a development deadline for the strip of land next to Pershing Street. He said that strip could end up reverting back to commercial.
Mayor John Berlin cautioned that a change in zoning that created a buffer between the property to be developed and some deadend streets with single family homes also could expire.
He said most of the property NRP is looking at was already multi-family so they could still build there. They're also looking at an idea of senior housing. Councilman Rick Drummond had questioned how national chains would consider the area if there's low-income housing.
Kosiba said there's a need for better housing and housing for the workforce that may result from the hotel under construction at the east end and any other development that occurs. He said to improve the demographics to attract national chains, he said the city needs more people, needs to provide a workforce and needs to remove blighted properties.
"You gotta start someplace," he said.
Kosiba also provided the committee with instructional sheets for SEEDBASE Salem, an interactive website that can be accessed through the city website, SOD Center and Salem Area Chamber of Commerce, providing visitors with map locators and information about the community all in one place. Some of the information includes utility pricing, school facts, tax info, community info, locations of utilities, traffic counts and real estate available.

Ex-Federal Way teacher pleads not guilty to molesting relative
Scott Riley, a former music teacher at Twin Lakes Elementary School, has pleaded not guilty to molesting a relative when she was 5 years old.
Riley, 53, was charged with child molestation in the first degree after telling his sexual deviancy counselor in April he had touched the girl under her pajama pants when she spent the night with him five years ago.
Riley was in sexual deviancy counseling after entering a plea agreement for fourth-degree assault in December 2007. Those charges were filed because he touched an 11-year-old female student on the buttocks during class.
Previously, Riley was accused of inappropriate behavior with students at a former job in Nevada. He allegedly had sexual relations with two students and married a former student.
If found guilty of the latest charges, Riley faces a minimum sentence of 51 months.
Riley has been released on his own recognizance until his next hearing Sept. 25. He currently lives in Puyallup.

Samford University's Christenberry Planetarium is presenting 'Star of Bethlehem' December 10-14 each night at 7 p.m.
The hour long multimedia presentation is free and open to the public and suitable for families.
Here's a description:
The presentation addresses evidence that could explain a natural cause of the famous star referenced in the New Testament gospel of Matthew.
According to Christenberry planetarium director George Atchley, 17th century astronomer Johannes Kepler offered the possibility of a supernova as an explanation of the Christmas star.
"Since Kepler's time, our understanding of celestial dynamics has changed considerably, but explaining the star of Bethlehem remains a mystery," said Atchley. "However, as historical and scientific clues continue to collect, perhaps Matthew's account of the star is better explained as the result of a naturally occurring event."
Or, is the star a miraculous occurrence that defies natural causes? Atchley says that the presentation's virtual journey to Jerusalem and Persia will offer strong possible answers.
Admission is free. All ages are welcome, but the show is more suitable for age 8 and above. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations are required, although groups of 10 or more may request a private showing. The 96-seat planetarium is wheelchair accessible and is located in Samford's Propst Hall.
For more information, contact Atchley at (205) 726-4139 or email@example.com.
My friend Nanci Scarpulla sent this tip in and shared a review of the presentation.
Here's what she wrote: "We enjoyed a sneak preview tonight and it is fabulous. The room was full of kiddos and they were mesmerized by the stars."

SOUTHWICK – After months of arguments, the Board of Selectmen passed an executive order Monday night that clarifies the role of the chief administrative officer.
The measure was passed by a 2-1 vote with Chairman Arthur G. Pinnell and member Russell S. Fox voting in favor of the order and member Tracy L. Cesan making it clear she was absolutely against it, refusing to sign the adopted draft of the document.
The executive order, drafted by Worcester attorney D.M. Moschos on behalf of the town, defines the role of Chief Administrative Officer Karl J. Stinehart in regards to his powers, duties and responsibilities, including his "administrative oversight and coordination of all town departments under the board's jurisdiction."
Cesan said again Monday night that the order is unnecessary and its only purpose is to create a conflict of interest between herself and Stinehart where one did not exist. She has said that the select board has traditionally been the administrator of town government, including employee/personnel decisions, but the executive order not only gives Stinehart more power, it also essentially makes him her superior in her job as an administrative assistant with the Fire Department.
She also said Stinehart's job description in the executive order describes a town manager more than a chief administrative officer.
"It's trying to be as descriptive as possible to make the job description of the chief administrative officer more like a town manager without breaking the law," Cesan said. "Its' true intention is to create a conflict."
Cesan said during the meeting that it has been not common practice for Stinehart to be involved in town employee personnel issues, but Pinell disagreed, saying, "Karl has done evaluations of different employees in Town Hall. It is well established that Karl is very involved in evaluations."
Cesan responded that she did not recall Stinehart's name being on any paperwork relative to her job with the Fire Department, but Stinehart pointed out that her position was advertised by his office and that he and Fire Chief Richard Anderson went through the job applications together and decided on the people who should be interviewed, one of which was Cesan.
"When the applications came in, myself and the fire chief went through them and between the two of us decided who should be interviewed, so either one of us could have made that determination," Stinehart said.
At that point, Pinell stepped in and told Cesan, "You are confused and reluctant to recognize past practice with multiple people telling you how it's been done, and you're sitting here denying it."
He then suggested moving forward with the vote, saying, "We won't come to an agreement, and we've exhausted any productive conversation on this."
Cesan said "a huge disservice" was being done to the town by adopting the order.

If I had to choose one thing I wanted an episode of a TV show to use for a theme, it would have to be Sluts. If I could choose two things, they would be Sluts and Father-Son relationships. I lucked the fuck out tonight, let me tell you.
The show opens with Christian giving Liz pointers on how to give blow jobs, so you know it's going to be great. Liz says that this marks only the third blow job she's ever given, but last episode she said that she didn't become a lesbian until she was 21, so there's really no excuse for that. I know that Liz isn't the prettiest princess at the ball, so there's a pretty good possibility that she became a lesbian at age 21 out of necessity, but assuming she didn't, she must have had some sort of handjob-related nickname, because God damn, girl. Christian's like, "Your teeth hurt my dick. Maybe we should never have sex again," and Liz is like, "Oh no, we have Lesbian Bed Death!" He's like, "What is that, a Mexican burial ritual?"
(Wow, until just now, I had seriously been under the impression that Amy Adams was the star of Confessions of a Shopaholic. This is ground-shattering news to me.)
Speaking of Matthew Broderick, Ricky Wells wants to look older. He looks about 18, because he is. Sean's like, "Well, Ricky, all boys develop at different rates " Ricky's wife says that she likes him the way he is, young-looking and all, but Ricky thinks that people won't take them seriously as a couple until he looks at least old enough to run for Senate. Then Mrs. Wells reveals that she and Ricky fell in love when he was eight. Wow, Gossip Girl last night was about teacher-student relationships, too! I love when my favorite TV shows have similar themes. We are treated to a Flashback! of Mrs. Wells getting arrested for porking a 13-year-old boy, then immediately having sex with him in a car. Bold move, Mrs. Wells. Flashback! to the future, where Ricky is eightteen and married to his former 2nd grade teacher and in a doctor's office wanting to get surgery so that people will no longer think she's his mother. To make sure no one ever thinks she's his mother, Mrs. Wells yells at her husband for swearing. They are apparently soul mates or some such whooey, and she's four months pregnant. Ricky says that doesn't want to look like his son's older brother. Sean's face is like, "Every time."
At home, Sean teaches Matt how to dissect a turkey. Or maybe it's a fetal pig. A fetal pig would help him more for medical school, but a turkey would help him more for pulling his fucking weight around Thanksgiving. "It's too hard, Dad," Matt says. I honestly forget, did Matt graduate high school? Like, someone remind me, he was at one point considered by the state to be competent enough to enter the workforce, right? I'm not saying that everyone who graduates high school necessarily should know how to find the heart in an animal carcass when his father is pointing to it with a scalpel, but he should have dissected something at some point. Matt bitches and moans that he gags every time he has to cut something open. This from a boy who removed another boy's cocknballs with an X-acto knife.
Raj scrubs in for Christian's surgery and praises his artistic surgery hands by calling them by the names of all four Ninja Turtles. Raj's dad shows up and the music goes all pretty, and Dr. Raj's dad watches proudly while his son prepares to assist a reconstructive surgery. Christian counts back from 100 and the music kicks up a little and gets almost reminiscient of "The Way You Make Me Feel." It makes me want to perform the final scene of Center Stage. ( I hope at least one girl reads this review. God I need to get some testicles.) Then Linda hits the tunes and "I Am Superman" comes on and makes me want to murder the music director. WTF there are like a thousand better songs about Superman, if you absolutely had to use a Superman song, most notably "Flying Purple People Eater." Use your head, man. Sean stuffs Christian's boob sacs. Matt joins Dr. Raj's dad in the hall, and Sean offers Raj an opportunity to show off and close up so that he can go talk to Matt. Matt has dropped by to announce that he dropped O.Chem. That's no way to become a doctor, Matt. I know O.Chem is hard, but you know what else is hard? Maintaining an erection while fucking a burn victim. Or for that matter, taking it in the ass for $5,000 meth money. Sean is going to have Raj tutor Matt. I smell a buddy cop comedy. Dr. Raj's dad announces that he is in the US to get his dick enlarged. I have a friend named Bob who knows of a product he could try
Dr. Raj's dad marvels at the American technology and the very big American penis. He asks Raj to perform the penis enlargement. Raj is upset because his widower dad wants to "whore around." Dr. Raj's dad wants to be proud of Raj performing his surgery. Raj is like, "You're right, I'll do the surgery. What other duty do I have? You are my father and I owe you everything." And I'm like, "Hehe he said, 'doodie,'" but also, for real, Raj is going to kill his dad or some shit.
Post-surgery, Christian feels good about himself again and is going to go slut it up on the town. Meanwhile, Liz is at a spa trying to get pretty for him. Christian fucks some girl doggy stye on the couch. Christian has sex with a different girl, also from behind, but this time on the bed and while smiling maniacally. Liz tries on dresses. She walks in to the apartment to find Christian fucking some chick on the edge of the bath tub. (Maybe Christian should close doors or something, I don't know. Wilbur still ostensibly lives there.) The chick has really pretty hair, so Christian let her face him while they did it. Liz yells at Christian. The chick leaves in a huff and forgets to put on pants. Christian apologizes. Liz agrees to go to dinner, but she probably wouldn't agree to go if she realized that he'd fucked two other girls on other pieces of furniture.
Sean ages Ricky Wells. Liz laments Christian's dickholeness. Sean admits that he totally ruined Matt's life by being a bad father and tricking Matt into having sex with a transgendered person. Liz is like, "Sometimes our best isn't good enough," and Dr. Raj's dad is like, "Shh, don't tell Raj that!"
It's evening time. Raj was supposed to tutor Matt, but Matt didn't show up, because he is worthless, so Sean takes Raj to dinner. Notice: Sean likes Raj better than he likes Matt. Notice also: Raj is exactly as related to Sean as Matt is. They eat in a bar. Raj has never had chicken wings before, because his dad made him be a vegetarian to ensure that he would never develop muscles. Sean calls buffalo wings "soul food" because Sean is the whitest person I know. He allows Raj a sip of beer and since Raj is only 17, he's totally going to be an alcoholic. Matt calls Sean and is like, "Yo pops, where's my tutor?" and Sean's like, "We're at a bar having fun without you!" and Matt offers to meet them at the bar, and Sean is like, "Once again, I choose someone else's child over my own. Keep it real, loser I raised."
Christian and some lady undress each other. He tells her his masectomy scar is a knife wound. They have sex. While having sex, his implant moves because Raj didn't close it up right. Oh man Raj is going to mess up his dad's wiener!
Red Bull commercial of Roger Miller's "Running Bear" for which the tag line is "No Red Bull, No Happy Ending." What are you implying, gentlemen?!
Christian knocks on Liz's door super late at night. He shows her his messed up boob thing. Liz's date is all, "What's up babe?" and Christian is like, "I can't believe you're back to fucking people who want to fuck you!"
Ricky's family is at the office to see his new, older face. He has a mustache and thicker eyebrows and a different hairline and sideburns now. He looks different. Too different for his wife, who is going to fuck his little brother now. Also Ricky's brother is like, "You look like Dad," and the dad is all proud because his son looks so grown up and is going to be a dad. So that's the only healthy relationship in this entire show, and even that is pretty effed up.
Dr. Raj's dad lays on the table before his surgery and yells at Liz for being a woman, etc. Sean tries to soothe him, but then Christian runs in and tells Sean to fix his boobs, and Dr. Raj's dad is like, "What kind of operation are you running here, Doctor?!" and Sean is like, "Haha it's a literal medical operation. Ahem, but to answer your question: a bad one." Raj admits to having messed up the sutures, and Dr. Raj's dad yells at Raj for sucking at surgery, and Raj is like, "Maybe it's your fault, dad," and Dr. Raj's dad is like, "Slap!"
Raj and Matt sit in a parking garage and smoke pot and drink beer. Raj tells Matt how hard his dad has been on him all his life. Raj is like, "Maybe the only way to stop him is to cut off my hands?" and Matt is like, "Well, I have this box cutter right here, so " Raj thinks his life sucks and Matt is like, "Excuse me? I had sex with a transgendered person like a dozen times, AFTER both my dads had sex with her, PLUS MY MOM IS JULIA." Raj still thinks that his life sucks and that his dad rides him way too hard, and he asks Matt to slam the car door on his hand. Matt's like, "I have never done anything so violent to a near-stranger before. I am not sure I have it in me to injure you this way," so Raj yells at Matt to make him feel bad, and Matt gets mad and slams the door, and Kevin Spacey in Se7en is like, "Excellent."
Awesome Raj hand reassembly surgery! Apparently there's nothing they can do to save Raj's hand's life. Sean tells Dr. Raj's dad, who weeps. Matt's like, "Sorry you don't love me that much," and Sean says, "The son I have is the son I love," and Matt's like, "So Connor?" and Sean's like, "Yeah."
The jazz music continues. Matt decides that instead of a doctor, he wants to be an actor. Sean hugs him even though that's the worst life decision ever.
Ricky Wells returns home to find his wife making love to his little brother. Didn't see that one coming. He wishes TWHS.
Liz stands in the door of the apartment and watches Christian have sex with some random chick. Christian loves having sex with random chicks. Liz asks Sean if she can talk with him about something. It's something so private that she has to close the door. Sex ?
Liz resigned and is moving back to Miami! More jazz music! I wonder who else will move back to Miami?
Next week: Baby surgery! Hearts & Scalpels portrays Colleen Rose's death/murder/glasses! Some goth chick!

I'm working on a project on fluorescence thermography. I am a beginner for matlab and I am looking for the matlab steps and command to import and read the fluorescence intensity values on gray scale (not color) images captured (in .jpg). These values are requred to interpret the temperature values at various points.
Any help for detailed steps is appreciated! Thanks.
Hi, I have tried various commands but what I get are some integer which seems like rgb values to me. I'm trying to look for precise intensity values that is shown in about 3 decimal places. Also, is it possible to read the values by simply placing my cursor over the image?
This is not an answer to your question is it? So it should have been an edit to your original question or a comment on Walter's question. To move the mouse around and see the pixel values, you need to use the command impixelinfo() in the Image Processing Toolbox.
It appears to me that the original JPEG file format did not support floating point values such as would be needed to have 3 decimal places. Either the data was scaled to 0-255 (or 0-65535) before it was written, or else you are using JPEG 2000.
To look at values by positioning with your cursor, go to the menu bar, and select Tools and from there, Data Cursor.
FLreadings = imread('YourInputImageName.jpg'); if ndim(FLreadings) > 2 error('Try again with a grayscale image') end
Then for any particular point row R column C, FLreadings(R,C) will be the intensity reading as stored in the image.
Providing the jpeg doesn't have gamma correction.
JPEG does not itself do gamma correction: it just works on the exact values passed to the JPEG creation software, and reads back as close to those values as the lossy compression permits.
You are correct that it is not part of the JPEG algorithm. But we don't know what process generated the JPEG. Typical consumer software also does other things to make a picture presentable. Since they are "captured in jpeg" I can only assume it is not a custom scientific camera?
I would also like to seek some explanation for this command imhist(I)... I am uncertain of the error message stating "to be two-dimensional".
>> imhist(I) ??? Error using ==> iptcheckinput Function IMHIST expected its first input, I or X, to be two-dimensional.
Error in ==> imhist>parse_inputs at 275 iptcheckinput(a, {'double','uint8','logical','uint16','int16','single'}, ...
Error in ==> imhist at 57 [a, n, isScaled, top, map] = parse_inputs(varargin{:});
Evidently you didn't try Walter's code, where it would warn you if you tried to read in a colored image. You can't use imhist() on a color image. You need to save your original thermal image in the original monochrome matrix, not the pseudocolored (color mapped) RGB version of it.
Your image is not grayscale then. It might be RGB in which all three planes are identical, and thus be a Truecolor image that happens to consist entirely of grays. Try
I2 = FLreadings(:,:,1); imhist(I2)
I don't know why but it seems like everyone who comes here and asks about thermal images has the pseudocolored image, unfortunately. Probably because the native format is a vendor proprietary floating point format where each pixel is the actual temperature in degrees Celsius, and people don't have MATLAB code to read those proprietary formats (like I do) so they just save data out as an 8 bit grayscale or colored bitmap image. But then all or most of the true actual temperature information is lost. Even if you have the color map, the best you can get is the grayscale image, not the actual temperatures. You'd need additional calibration information on what temperature got assigned to what gray level.
