A Phase 2 Trial of Bevacizumab, Lenalidomide, Docetaxel, and Prednisone (ART-P) for Treatment of Metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer
This trial is active, not recruiting.
Condition | metastatic prostate cancer |
Treatments | bevacizumab, lenalidomide, docetaxel, prednisone |
Phase | phase 2 |
Target | VEGF |
Sponsor | National Cancer Institute (NCI) |
Start date | July 2009 |
End date | January 2018 |
Trial size | 63 participants |
Trial identifier | NCT00942578, 09-C-0195, 090195 |
- Prednisone and docetaxel have been used successfully in treating patients with prostate cancer, either when used alone or in combination with other agents. Researchers believe that these anticancer effects can be increased by giving them in this specific combination.
- A previous study at the National Cancer Institute combined docetaxel and prednisone with bevacizumab and thalidomide. The results of this study were promising; however, most patients in the study required a dose reduction of thalidomide because of its side effects.
- Lenalidomide, a drug similar to thalidomide, may have less severe side effects. Based on previous studies, lenalidomide is well tolerated in patients with solid tumors when used alone or in combination with docetaxel, and it may be a good substitute for thalidomide.
- To determine if lenalidomide is an appropriate and effective substitute for thalidomide in treating prostate cancer.
- To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of bevacizumab, lenalidomide, docetaxel, and prednisone as a prostate cancer treatment, and to study any side effects.
- Men 18 years of age and older who have been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer that has not responded to standard treatment, including surgical removal of the testicles or treatment with androgen (sex-hormone) suppressing drugs.
- Participants will have a complete medical history and physical examination before beginning the study.
- Patients will be treated with 21-day cycles with a combination of four drugs:
- (1) Docetaxel, which will be given into a vein for 60 minutes on the first day of each 21-day cycle. Patients will take dexamethasone (a steroid agent) before and after taking docetaxel.
- (2) Prednisone, which will be taken by mouth daily.
- (3) Bevacizumab, which will be given through a vein over 30 to 90 minutes on the first day of each 21-day cycle following the infusion of docetaxel.
- (4) Lenalidomide, which will be taken by mouth during the first 2 weeks of each 21-day cycle. The dose of lenalidomide may be adjusted if side effects develop.
- Patients will also receive enoxaparin, a subcutaneous injection administered daily, to prevent blood clots and/or pegfilgrastim, a subcutaneous injection on day 2 of each cycle, to improve white blood cell counts, as directed by researchers.

Additional Information
Official title | A Phase 2 Trial of Bevacizumab, Lenalidomide, Docetaxel, and Prednisone (ART-P) for Treatment of Metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer |
Principal investigator | William L Dahut, M.D. |
Description | Background: The dual antiangiogenic therapy with bevacizumab and thalidomide in combination with docetaxel and prednisone (ATTP) is highly active in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), associated with unprecedented results (90% patients had PSA declines of greater than or equal to 50% and 64% ORR in measurable disease). Most patients in the ATTP trial required dose reduction due to thalidomide toxicities. Lenalidomide, an analogue of thalidomide, possesses both antiangiogenesis and inhibition of TNF-alpha, but has a favorable toxicity profile. Lenalidomide is well tolerated in patients with solid tumors when used alone or in combination with docetaxel. To preserve the efficacy of ATTP and to potentially reduce toxicity, lenalidomide may be a good substitute for thalidomide. Objectives Primary: To assess if lenalidomide at its approved dosing schedule can be safely combined with docetaxel, bevacizumab, and prednisone in patients with mCRPC (less than 25% Grade 4 toxicity) To evaluate the efficacy of the combination Eligibility: Patients with progressive mCRPC who have not received any chemotherapy or antiangiogenic therapy for mCRPC Design: A single-stage Phase 2 study, with an early stopping rule for excessive toxicity: the goal is to enroll 45 patients at the 25-mg dose level of lenalidomide. However, if 7 in the first 18 or fewer patients receiving lenalidomide at 25 mg develop grade 4 non-hematologic toxicity at anytime during study, no further patients will be enrolled. With respect to the stopping rule, a grade 4 hematologic toxicity will be considered if the episode has lasted for greater than or equal to 5 days. Grade 4 lymphopenia of any duration will not be counted. If less than 7 of the first 18 patients experience the above level of toxicity, accrual will continue until 45 patients have been enrolled at the 25 mg dose level of lenalidomide. A run-in phase with lenalidomide at 15 mg will be conducted in the first three patients and at 20mg for the next three patients for assessing its tolerability within the combination prior to dosing at 25 mg thereafter. An expansion cohort of a lower dose of lenalidomide (15 mg) in combination with docetaxel and and Avastin will be conducted to asses if this lower dose of lenalidomide could have similar efficacy with less toxicity. Treatment Schema of ART-P Dex -Dexamethasone 8 mg. po 12 hours pre, 3 hours pre, and 1 hour pre infusion of docetaxel (patients who were on prior regimen which included a lower dose of decadron and did not have a reaction do not have to increase their decadron to the 8 mg dose) Len - Lenalidomide 25 mg po, days 1-14. Lenalidomide 15 mg and 20mg for the proposed run-in phase. Lenalidomide 15 mg for the expansion cohort. Doc - Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 IV Bev - Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg IV Pre - Prednisone 10 mg PO daily throughout cycle E - Enoxaparin given SQ daily based on weight (see dosing chart in section 4.2) Peg - Pegfilgrastim 6mg SQ given at least 24 hours after docetaxel administration Baseline screening evaluations are to be conducted within 15 days prior to protocol enrollment. Baseline scans and x-rays must be performed 4 weeks prior to protocol enrollment. Patients must be evaluated at the NCI clinic each cycle for treatment continuation. Staging scans will be performed after the first 2 cycles of treatment and then every three cycles. All follow-up evaluations can be done on the last week of the prior cycle. |

Useless Statisticsby chunlou (Curate) |

Just for recreational curiosity. Data fetched from BigMonkMap and PerlMonks, as of 7/16/2003. Only monks on the Map were included, so it's a self-selected sample, not a good random sampling. Not sure if the statistics already available somewhere but here they are anyway.
You should be glad you don't miss out anything no matter where you live...
... you still get the same mature experienced monks (mature for programmers, that is, many of whom would probably have exhausted to death by 40).
Just for the fun of it. (Region C has too small a sample size.)

Toys R Us and Target each have their own strategies to compete with both Wal-Mart and Amazon this coming Christmas season.
Toys R Us used to own Christmas, but that has changed. Amazon was the game changer. They're unique as a capitalist enterprise because it seems they never care if they make money, they just want more and more market share -- and then later they'll figure out how to make money on it!
So Toys R Us has announced they're going to price match advertised prices from traditional retail stores this entire season up to Dec. 24. But they won't match Amazon.
Target, meanwhile, is going to have a number of toys that are exclusives this Christmas season to compete with Wal-Mart. They won't have to worry about matching somebody else's price that way.
Target has told vendors they want unique product model numbers and features on their stock so the Red Retailer can't be "showroomed." The only prices that will come up when you try to showroom a particular bar code will be Target's own!
Amazingly, there is precedent for all this.
Go try to compare mattress costs. You can't. Sealy, Serta, and Simmons have done something similar for as far back as I can remember. Their mattresses all have unique names and model numbers so you have no way to comparison shop. The idea is a mattress is sold by marketing, not by price.
But back to toys, because we have four vibrant competitors, if you do your homework, this will be very good Christmas to find deals for the kids!

I am a Spirit?
If you get this, you will never struggle with the emotional roller-coaster ever again. If you get this, you will be empowered to never make a choice based on your emotions.
I first caught wind of this principle while I was reading Timothy Jorgensen's book, Spirit Life Training. It was one of our required readings when our School of Obedience was running. I highly recommend you purchase it when it finally comes out, republished by Destiny Image.
This article builds upon my other "identity" article I have written. It will be most beneficial if you read my first article on identity.
When people are feeling angry, they say, "I'm angry."
When people are feeling sad, they say, "I'm sad."
When people are feeling tired, they say, "I'm tired."
When people are feeling nervous, they say, "I'm nervous."
When people are feeling worried, they say, "I'm worried."
Yes? Yes. Keep that in mind.
You are a 3 part being – spirit, soul, and body.
You are not a body that has a soul and spirit, nor are you a soul that has a body and spirit.
You are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body.
Your spirit is the real you (Remember when God breathed into Adam?), it is what gives you life. The fact that you have been made one spirit with him (1 Cor 6:17) is what enables you to connect with God (1 Cor 2:10-12).Your soul could be defined as your mind, will, intellect, and emotions. And your body is… your body.
Most Christian are led by the flesh; they allow their spirit and soul to be subservient to the lusts and desires of their flesh, which is why they struggle with sin. They do not know that they are supposed to be dead to the desires of the flesh (Gal 5:24) and walk in the spirit. You can read more on being dead to the flesh and freedom from sin here.
Walking in the spirit is not about a conscious effort, it is understanding your identity. Thus, problems arise when your identity is rooted in our soul/body rather than your spirit.
Managing your Emotions
So when people are experiencing emotions, frustrating thoughts, or pain, those are all experienced in the soul or body. But the issue is when people place their identity in what they feel. It's the "I am" part of the phrase. When people say that, they fail to distinguish between "I am frustrated" versus "I am feeling frustrated."
When someone says "I am frustrated" they are placing their identity in what they're feeling, hence, "I am frustrated", and as a result, they will feel completely powerless to feel anything else. The mindset behind that is, "I am frustrated, and I am completely powerless to not be frustrated because I am frustrated… it's who I am! I am frustrated!"
But if you can understand "I am feeling frustrated", it changes the mindset to , "Oooh this is just a feeling! If this is just a feeling, I can change what I feel! I don't have to be stuck with feeling this!"
When people say, "I'm sad, I'm depressed," the implication is that they feel stuck in that emotion — that they don't have any power to get out of it. But if they can shift it to "I'm feeling sad, or I'm feeling depressed," it will help them realize it's just a feeling, and they can change what they feel.
"Man I've just been so frustrated about xyz"
"Oh, well good thing you're a spirit."
It became a tool we used to remind us that we are no longer bound by what we feel. Emotions were no longer the basis from which we made decisions and how we related to people.
If we understand that we are made one spirit with God, and the Kingdom is in righteousness, joy, and peace in the Holy Spirit (Rom 14:17), then we have constant access to peace and joy.
People say things like, "I'm scared of this, I'm worried about this, this situation is making me feel stressed out." But when they understand that what they're feeling is something external that's affecting them, they will feel empowered to not live in that emotion.
"I've been worried about xyz"
"Oh, well good thing you're a spirit."
The first time I lived out this principle was about a year ago. I was changing the oil for my car and the drain-nut was stuck. I tried for about 30 minutes trying to get it loose. I tried multiple wrenches, different positions to get better leverage, none of it worked. I was fuming mad. I pulled out my phone to call my uncle because he used to be a mechanic.
As the phone was ringing, I was thinking about unloading all my frustration on him because the situation was so irritating, and then, I remembered, "Oh wait, I'm a spirit." I instantly realized I was empowered to not feel frustrated. The situation didn't force me to be frustrated, but it was how I was choosing to respond, so I decide to chose otherwise. I realized, "I'm a spirit!" so I have constant access to peace and joy, "This is just a feeling!" so I felt empowered to feel otherwise. Immediately, my countenance changed, the frustrated lifted instantly and I calmly spoke with my uncle about the problem.
Go here to read about a time I approached a gang of 5 huge guys to minister to them, this same principle got me past the fear.
For most, it doesn't even cross their mind that they can feel something other than what their current circumstance dictates. If the circumstances are frustrating, most people will come out saying, "I'M SO FRUSTRATED", not realizing that they are free to be at complete peace.
Make sense?
So the whole point of this isn't to eliminate your emotions, nor is it to imply that you will never experience another negative emotion (how would you even define "negative"?).
The point is to empower you to not be bound your emotion (e.g. you should never feel helpless to stay feeling scared in any situation). The point is to remind you how to live from your spirit rather than from your soul.
Did you notice how this ties back into identity? Your behavior will always reflect what you believe about yourself and what you place your identity in. If you believe you are depressed, your depression will be there to stay.
Even with sicknesses, diseases, and conditions, people say, "I'm sick." "I'm diabetic." "I'm paraplegic." "I'm blind." "I'm an alcoholic." "I'm OCD." The list goes on. I don't have a problem with language and how our culture uses language, but it does create mindsets concerning people's identity and it keeps people bound up in their issues.
Why is this even important?
The devil will do everything in his power to try to keep you powerless, and so long as he has you operating in your soul rather than your spirit, you will lose the battle eventually.
The devil makes every effort to keep believers in worry, fear, and anxiety because it keeps them focused on themselves, it paralyzes them from recognizing the real enemy and it makes them turn inward to find the problem internally. This causes them to lose sight of God and the tools He's given us for victory . They get lost in their inadequacy and no longer see His power/sufficiency that works in us (Eph 1:18-23).
To live in perfect peace and joy isn't some hyper-spiritual reality that only a few dead saints had the privilege to experience. It is possible for every believer to live in. Living in perfect peace and joy isn't about some kind of emotional bliss that makes you super-human. It's a confidence and awareness of who you are, who He is in you, and the tools you have been given to overcome any situation.
Having victory in every circumstance isn't about trying to make every situation go the way you want it go. It's about being able to have absolute peace and joy regardless of what is happening… and in that peace and joy, you become aware of the tools you've been given and that is often what helps you turn those situations for the better. Also… it's a lot easier to think straight (Col 3:2) when you're not caught up in an emotional breakdown.
Again, this is not about eliminating emotions from your life, that's silly. This is about empowering you to no longer let emotions cloud the way you think, make decisions, and the way you relate to people. This is about learning to rule your emotional life, rather than allowing your emotional life to rule you. This is about learning to walk in the spirit, to train your spirit man to have supremacy over your soul and body.
Remember the first line of this article? If you're not there yet, go ahead and read this again. =]
This is the story behind the naming of my website. Understanding this propelled me to live in a whole new freedom from the emotional roller-coaster. I no longer did things because I did or didn't "feel" like I wanted to, I no longer worried, no longer got nervous, no longer feared, no longer felt confined to an emotion because I realized I didn't have to. My hope is you will encounter this same freedom.

Sandra Bullock and Jesse James Find Their Lost Pooch
Sandra Bullock and her husband Jesse James reunited with their lost dog CinnaBun on Wednesday. James posted on Twitter three weeks ago that their pitbull had gone missing, giving out his phone number as well as putting up flyers.
A source told Popeater that Bullock was "devastated by the loss" of CinnaBun, and that "she would give anything
— including her Oscar nomination — to get little CinnaBun back." But it seems that won't be necessary after James' posting on the West Coast Choppers website.
"A BIG thanks to Rosaura in Los Angeles who
found her and brought her [CinnaBun] back. West Coast thanks you … Let the
barking, wrastlin,' and bone chasing begin!"
Whew! Now Sandra can still have that long-awaited showdown with Meryl Streep at the Academy Awards!

I recently bought a 1980 C&C 34. The only "major" problem with the boat is pervasive gelcoat cracking under the stanchions. This cracking is due to thermal cycling and stress placed on the rails when folks board and where the headsail applies force when taught. There are no backing plates on the underside of the stanchions and the surface is irregular. So two questions:
1) How would you recommend I back the underside of the deck to prevent overstressing in the future?
2) What is the best (easiest) way to repair hairline cracks in gelcoat. Appearance is important, but not paramount.
Dan Dickison responds:
You're facing a situation that is common for owners of boats that are 15 to 20 years old or more. It's likely that your crazing problem would exist even if you did have backing plates under the deck, but it's a good idea to have them there nonetheless, especially for something like stanchion bases that are subject to a lot of side loading. I'd recommend using a high-density material that will distribute the load evenly. Some sailors choose aluminum plates, but I prefer a less-conductive material like solid fiberglass or G-10, which is available from most boatbuilders. Make sure that you use large fender washers on each fastener to distribute the load.
As to your gelcoat, you'll find that you can easily come across gelcoat touch-up kits at most marine stores. You might want to bone up on this if it's your first time by looking at the Fiberglass Repair and Gelcoat Damage video that's available in the SailNet Store (http://www.sailnet.com/store/item.cfm?pid=9255). Or you might want to pick up a copy of Don Casey's Sailboat Hull & Deck Repair (also in the SailNet Store). Best of luck with all of this.

Recommended by an experienced skier & after buying these have had lots of fun!
Pros: Excellent mix for groomers and Pow. With the 90 underfoot they did really well in Japan. Also had plenty of fun with a bit of park.
Cons: If it becomes Icey, the edges seem to have real trouble putting in long hand turns.
These have been the first pair of dual tip skis that I have bought.
After having them recommended by a boot fitter (also friend) who spends a fair amount of time overseas, he believed these would be a good mix for Australia, New Zealand and Japan condition. (These all vary a heap)
I have been using them for 2 northern trips to Japan and 1 trip to Hotham in Aus and recently to Queenstown in New Zealand.
It took me a few days to warm to them however after sorting them out, they have been really friendly to use all over the mountain. I enjoy off-piste a lot more then park and these skis have suited me.
Would recommend them to intermediate-advance skiers who have little experience in...

Renewable Electricity Standards Deliver the Goods

Recent efforts to repeal renewable electricity standards (RES) by fossil-fuel backed opponents have been thwarted in Kansas and North Carolina. The reason? As a newly released review of state RES policies by the Union of Concerned Scientists report clearly shows, these popular, bipartisan policies are working effectively all over the country; affordably driving new renewable energy development and delivering substantial economic benefits to states and local communities in the process.

State Renewable Electricity Standards: A Cornerstone in America's Clean Energy Transition

Compelling evidence shows that state-level renewable electricity standards (RES) are affordably reducing market barriers and stimulating new, stable, and long-term markets for wind, solar, and other renewable energy technologies throughout the United States. To continue the nation's clean energy transition in 2013 and beyond, strong leadership in expanding state RES policies is critical.

Nottinghamshire will be without overseas signing Peter Siddle for their LV= County Championship opener against Lancashire due to a visa delay.
Australia quick Siddle was due to arrive in time to play in the first game, which begins at Trent Bridge on Sunday, but will now make his debut against Middlesex.
"Peter wanted to play against Lancashire and we want him in the team but the speed of the process is out of our hands which is frustrating," head coach Mick Newell told the club's website.
"Everything that could be done has been done but we'll get him in the side to face Middlesex at Lord's."
Siddle played in every game of Australia's 5-0 Ashes whitewash over the winter, before playing the first two Tests of their series win in South Africa last month.
Newell suggested that the fact he was in South Africa so recently had added to the visa delay.
"He's had some visa issues complicated by the fact that he was in South Africa until the middle of March so he couldn't apply for a visa until he got back," Newell told Sky Sports News.
Siddle's absence could open the way for former England quick Ajmal Shahzad to be drafted in to join Andre Adams, Harry Gurney and Luke Fletcher in the starting line-up.

Dwight Lee Wolter
"Turn the other cheek." - Matthew 5:39
When I was twelve years old, my father bought me a shotgun for Christmas. Sitting under the Christmas tree in my pajamas with a shotgun in my lap with Christmas carols playing on the stereo, he taught me the names and functions of the parts. Then he took me into the woods and taught me how to hold, load, aim, and to "squeeze, not pull the trigger."
And then, in a lowered, gravely voice he issued a stern forewarning: "When you shoot this gun, the kickback may knock you on your butt." Later, in school, I discovered that my father's lesson in weaponry was also a lesson in Sir Isaac Newton's third law of motion: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."
Newton's law is equally true in the spiritual realm. When I explode a destructive force at you; the same destruction is unleashed on me. When I fire hate into the universe, hate is thrust with equal force back on me. When I blast blame in your direction, your reaction to blame might knock me on my butt.
The only thing that will alter this law is to react in a different way.
At the port in Cape Town, South Africa--not far from the sculpture of the four Nobel Peace Prize recipients South Africa has produced--is another sculpture of a pistol with the barrel tied in a knot. Someone has to stop reacting to anger with anger; to hate with hate; to violence with violence.
Turning the other cheek is not an act of humility or humiliation. It is learning to respond and not react to provocation. It is an act of dignity and preservation. It is an act of responding to the hate of humanity with the grace of divinity.
I fired my shotgun a few times at beer cans sitting on fence posts and then I put it down and became a sharpshooter for peace, justice and reconciliation.
Help me, O God, to pound my weapons into plowshares, and to turn the other cheek.

Morning Rundown: Foster willing to wait his turn
SAN JOSE -- Long bus rides from city to city. Commercial flights with multiple stops in between. Cozy arenas where the crowd could read your thoughts.
The two-game conditioning assignment for the Ducks' Kurtis Foster in Syracuse brought him back to the days when he was a regular in the American Hockey League trying to crack into the NHL.
"On the way down, I had two layovers," Foster said. "I had to go to Charlotte. On the way back, we had Atlanta. A 6:30 a.m. flight [from Syracuse] and then a five-hour flight from Atlanta. I spent the whole yesterday on planes with the exception of five hours. At least the last plane a little more comfortable."
Now imagine the 6-foot-5 Foster and the 6-foot-4 Patrick Maroon, who got his first NHL call-up, squeezing into middle-row seats and you have what many players go through to play in the league. But the trip for Foster wasn't about creature comforts as the veteran is trying to play his way into game shape and ultimately dress for his new team.
Foster logged a lot of minutes in games with the Crunch on Friday and Saturday, playing regular shifts and seeing power-play time. He also managed to pick up an assist on Kyle Palmieri's overtime goal in a win over Binghamton.
After a long skating session following Monday's morning skate with Ducks assistant coach Mike Foligno, Foster said the games in Syracuse helped him knock off some rust after undergoing thigh surgery during the first week of training camp.
"Just getting the presence of being in a game taking some hits and making some plays under pressure, it was nice to go out there and get that feeling again," Foster said. "It wasn't my best hockey. I know that. I was on the ice for a couple of goals and had an assist. It went OK."
Acquired during the summer from Edmonton for defenseman Andy Sutton, Foster won't be in the lineup against the Sharks at HP Pavilion but his goal is to show Ducks coach Randy Carlyle that he's ready to be called upon when the club hosts Dallas on Friday night.
But the nine-year veteran has been around long enough to know that NHL coaches often don't make changes when the team is winning and with third-pairing defenseman Sheldon Brookbank playing well, it might be some time before Carlyle chooses his number.
"Everybody on [defense], whether it's Lubo [Lubomir Visnovsky] or Brookie, everybody's playing really well," Foster said. "You can't take anyone out of the lineup when they're playing well. So I'm going to wait my turn.
"When it's my turn to get in there, I've got to make a prescence and try to bring what I can to the game and kind of go from there."
Meanwhile, Foster's weekend in the minor leagues brought back memories.
The only other time Foster saw some AHL duty since his 2005-06 season as a rookie was three years ago when he played for the Houston Aeros as he rehabbed from the broken femur he suffered while as a member of the Minnesota Wild.
"It was an eye-opening experience," Foster said. "I haven't been in the minors for a long time. I paleyd 280-something games there back when I started. To go back and ride the bus and be in the old rinks, it definitely puts pressure on you to stay here. It was a good time."
-- Maroon was recalled to fill the vacant roster spot created by the tendon injury to Jason Blake but his presence might also help Carlyle create some competition on the left side of the ice.
Though it appears that both Brandon McMillan and Matt Beleskey will be in the lineup tonight, Carlyle didn't have the warmest of assessments regarding the play of either Sunday night against St. Louis.
Beleskey, in particular, played only six shifts and logged 4:38 of ice time while also getting an extra two minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct in the second period as he went at it with the Blues' Chris Porter during a post-whistle scrum.
"I thought Beleskey was trying to catch up to the pace of the game," Carlyle said. "I don't think he had one of his better games. The undispiclined penalty didn't bode very well in the halls of the coaching staff. It didn't help him.
"As far as McMillan, I thought he was just OK."
Carlyle noted that they already have Andrew Gordon playing out of position on the left side and mentioned Bobby Ryan as a possibility on the second line and either moving Beleskey up or or trying out Maroon alongside Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry.
It appears some judgments will be made following their affair against the Sharks as Carlyle is calling on one of the young forwards to raise their game and fill the void left by Blake.
"It's all about what you feel gives you the best chance for success on a night to night basis," Carlyle said. "When you have those options, they're good decisions but they're tough ones for a coaching staff."
-- The Ducks want to assign Nate Guenin to Syracuse but they'll have to wait and see if he clears waivers by Tuesday morning.
Guenin played as the sixth defenseman in the two games in Finland and Sweden, scored the team's first goal this season against Buffalo. It was the only score in a 4-1 loss to the Sabres.
-- Because they played Sunday night, the Ducks had an optional skate and a number of players took advantage of that by staying off the ice after a brief team meeting. Dan Ellis is expected to get his first start after Jonas Hiller went in the first four games, going 3-1 with a 1.71 goals-against average.
Here are the likely line combinations and defense pairings for tonight against the Sharks:
Bobby Ryan-Ryan Getzlaf-Corey Perry
Brandon McMillan-Saku Koivu-Teemu Selanne
Andrew Gordon-Andrew Cogliano-Devante Smith-Pelly
Matt Beleskey-Maxime Macenauer-George Parros
Toni Lydman-Lubomir Visnovsky
Francois Beauchemin-Cam Fowler
Luca Sbisa-Sheldon Brookbank

JC's obviously having a big year, but there aren't many non-partisans who thought he was headed that way prior to the season. Count Geico among the believers.
During the broadcast of Skins domination in Philly, Fox played a new Geico spot starring Campbell and a Lumberg-esque agent. It was just OK for me, dawg, but the bigger picture is that a Redskins QB is the spokesman in a national advertising campaign, albeit one that also stars Joan Rivers and Peter Frampton. Campbell's NFL.com Fantasy Files ad aside, I'm not sure that's happened since the days of Joe Theismann, and, even then, I'm only guessing as he was such a natural. Just look at him.
Watch Campbell's Geico ad and decide for yourself whether it's a good one or not, but this much we know: Our guy is catching up quick to McNabb, Eli and Romo, both on the field and in the bank. And while he fancies himself a Denzel, we all know he's more of a Billy Dee.
Update: Not sure how I forgot Doug Williams going to Disney World.
Update No. 2: Thanks to Meech, the ad is now found after the jump.

Damontre Moore, Bjoern Werner, and Jarvis Jones probably don't fall to us. Though maybe Jones does because of that spinal condition, which scares me as well.
At RB, I like Stepfan Taylor. Hes low to the ground, has the burst, can catch out of the backfield.... I would take him in round 2 if he was there, he would be our best RB right away.
I also like the potential of Marcus Lattimore and would like taking a gamble on him later.
Jetsman05, what are your thoughts on Mike Gillislee?? He was a stud at the senior bowl.
Posted 08 February 2013 - 03:56 PM
He is, however, another one with a ton of carries in college, and I don't expect him to be a long term solution. But on a team with a ton of needs, I think a guy like Franklin (who I think is one of the most pro ready backs) can come in and be productive right away and for a few years while the Jets rebuild. Especially considering he will probably be picked in the 4th round range.
Posted 08 February 2013 - 04:52 PM
I like Franklin as well but like you said HJ, he's in the Montee Ball group for me. Players who could possibly come right in, be good for 2-3 years and that's it.

You're right. No one should ever draft a USC QB ever again. Clearly, since a couple of guys didn't live up to being the top QBs that they were projected to be, that means that for whatever reason, this school cannot produce QBs. Other schools produce franchise NFL QBs with regularity and other college QBs that get drafted high all live up to their expectations.

That's not a couple, that is 4 straight. That's a culture of lazy,pre-madonna qbs, that don't amount to anything as pros because their college careers are solely a product of the immense talent around them on offense.

Mom to Mom
Most nights, by the time my husband and I get home, our top priority is hanging out with our kids, not dinner. I mean, we all EAT dinner, and, you know, like food, and all, but whipping up elaborate meals is definitely on the backburner. (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?) We're more about what we can get done quickly and with some redeeming nutritional value that - most importantly - the kids will eat. Stir frys get a lot of play in our kitchen, as do roasted vegetables with chicken, and I will fully admit that there are occasional nights where my husband and I walk in, have no desire to cook, and totally order pizza. (It's for the lycopene and calcium, I tell you!)
I recently read --with complete and utter awe -- a post about a mom who prepares 46 freeze-ahead meals in four hours. I know. I KNOW. I was amazed, too. I am nowhere near that organized, nor do I have the freezer space, but the post got me thinking. My mom taught me how to cook at a very young age, and aside from the occasional foray into cookie making, my kids don't have anything to do with what goes on in the kitchen. Granted, they're only three and five, but it's never too early to start. Right?
In the past, I have tried (and failed) at meal planning for the week, but what about on a much smaller scale? And what if I got the kids involved? I decided to make lasagna with their help. Lasagna is easy, it's very forgiving/flexible (like if someone, let's say my son, got a little aggressive with the garlic), and it's actually fun to make, what with all the layering. What's more, my kids ADORE lasagna. How much more would they love it if they helped to make it? (And...doubled the recipe so we could stick one in the freezer?)
I put this to the test one recent Sunday. The kids were thrilled to help out, each fighting for a turn with the mixing bowl. The beauty and ease of making a dish like this with kids is in its imprecision. No 1/8 teaspoon measurements, no egg separating...just simplicity. I was even able to mix in a full package of frozen chopped spinach into the cheese mixture, and they barely even noticed. They did a great job, and helped me to layer it all together, bouncing up and down with excitement about "their" lasagna.
As you could imagine, they were thrilled when it came out of the oven. They pronounced it to be the "best ever," and went back for more, so proud of what they had helped to make. And of course, we have our extra one (cut into smaller, more defrosting-friendly sections, and carefully wrapped and tucked into the freezer), too. A success all around, I would say.
What about you? Do you put aside time to cook with your kids?
awesome, Yes I teach DD how to be in the kitchen and I find her making food herself now she is 12 years old and can make somethings with out my help, She is allergic to Red Dye #40 and when we grocery shop she looks at the labels and it helps me out a great deal , plus making dinner she will measure things out, mix things .. a great helper
My Son has adhd and acts much worse when he eats anything with red dye. We are trying to eleminate everything with it also.

All 3 of my kids start helping my hubby and I in the kitchen as soon as they are able to reach the island with a stool. I constantly stress to other parents the important of having kids help you in the kitchen. There are so many skills they can learn from helping!! Plus I have found kids are WAY more likely to try something new if they helped make it!!

How well you interview will determine if you get the job. It is essential to know yourself and how your personality, characteristics, qualities and experiences relate to the position you are applying for. Prepare diligently for the interview and know what kinds of questions will be asked of you – in addition to what question you intend to ask of the employer.
You need to do a certain amount of soul-searching in order to prepare for the interview. Think about and write out answers to the following questions, making sure to look at them from your unique perspective.
Now look at your answers and determine what will set you apart from other candidates. Relate those qualities and characteristics to the kinds of questions that will be asked in the interview. You can also use mistakes made in the past as examples of self-improvement if you have taken the initiative to improve in those areas.
The most important and useful thing you can do to prepare for an interview is practice. Take the time to do some soul-searching. Research common interview questions and practice answering them. It may even be useful to write out the answers and read them several times – including right before the interview. Practice in mock-interview situations. Practice with your friends and family. Practice, practice and then practice some more.
Finally, don't forget to ask questions at your interview. Keep them relevant to the position and don't ask about pay or benefits during the first interview. Books are available that can give you ideas about what is expected and how to hand the "Do you have any questions?" question.

-SaSe, after defeating a zerg that was just about to get brood lords out
It makes me laugh much harder when they do that, because that means that they are a whiny bitch AND insecure.
Your friend sound exactly like a guy I know.
Someone that's stupid?
fuuuck that pisses me off. some homolord messaging me bullshit so trying to say 1v1?!?! REMATCH???? this player is ignoring you
Streaming! Come on by if you please!: www.twitch.tv/sirsoapyy
I haven't seen much BM in Masters league, usually everyone is set to ignore all messages for some reason so I can't congratulate people on their win or compliment them.
The random players tend to be very BM though.
The guy I know, I wouldnt say friend lol, he's an amazing gamer at anything he plays because he's chock full of personality issues
Think of him as the sorest loser ever, he cant afford to lose lol
I love lategame PvZ It is a lot of fun to just have this imba deathball of void archom HT
I hate people that flip out and then ignore you. Only had it once where this guy's telling me how Collossi are OP and I'm shit etc etc and I tried to inform him that he should have scouted and the reason he lost was because I was on 4 bases while he hadn't taken his nat yet, but he never received my helpful advice!
I hate when people have ignore whisper on, and they forget that they have it on, and then they ask me a question and I can't answer it, even though I want to, then they get mad that I'm not responding. :(
EX: (1V1 Obs Game, I had just been kicked because they are dumb and suspect ghosting)
Person: Yo, who was ghosting for you? How'd you know he was going void rays?
Me: Well... I wasn't ghosting... Usually if you cannon wall yourself in it's either DT'S/Void Rays, since I'm Zerg... That's why I made spores...
Person: THIS PERSON DOES NOT RECEIVE WHISPER OR SOME SHIT LIKE THAT.
Person: Fine, don't answer me faggot, I'll find out who your friend is soon. Ghost more asshole.
Me: :'(
i know it's disabled by default. Do these people think they are famous or something.
No. I've had people be assholes to me after I lose ladder games so I only let friends message me now.
that's weak. The least you can do is just ignore them. My friends think it's funny to delete friend and request again so i have to keep it on
if you block whispers from randoms you shouldn't be able to send whispers to randoms. bnet 2.0s whole chat system is retarded
Tell us something we don't know lol. Hell there aren't even fucking time stamps and you can't scroll through messages because if a message gets sent it brings the chat all the way to bottom again.
I said it, IdrA said it, but nobody listened.
Now it's too late.
atleast Mr. Korea Universe Bisu gets to dominate
Every Protoss is too stupid to play well.
that's why toss never gets nerf'd
If they would just turtle on 3 base every game they would win everything.
The only thing that changes in in PvZ is they need to get a momma ship.
I've been playing so badly lately. Kill me.
MC wins GSL twice with two base all ins.
If toss is the best race, how come they have the lowest win-rate? vv
Cuz Protoss players never micro at all.
partings winrate vs terran in the gsl is 83%
pfft why micro when i can just warp in new units
my friend was complaining to me that protoss are the most underpowered race by "far" i said if that was true then nobody would play them -_-
fuck protoss
and fuck terran too
fuck zerg
Actually having money always is a money problem. Money is only useful if you're spending it.
It's not entirely true. Some players often play a race they just like. Not the race that's strongest or weakest. Like Necron from Dow:DC.
random op
I think your friend has a severe case of being a noob.
tell him to make more pylons, a few does not give enough power
y ppl dont channel facepunch eu
because no one plays eu
Sounds like he's a few pylons short of a full base.
i hate when my pylons get nuked when i play with my friend.
i'm on there when i'm in-game
will probably be on later today
I'm also in the channel when I'm online

#24 - Gone but not forgotten
Utter waste of 2 hours searching today. 2 WM's had the remnants of the Geonosis wave (i.e. Scorch and Utapau Clone missing) and the other places had squat. I did pick up the wave 3 Titaniums though.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
The guy that has been finding everything for me lately was going into work late and stopped by Target this morning. He said he got to target around 9:00 and everything was picked through already. The only figures they'll get for a week and they're gone in less than a hour! There's too many collectors and scalpers and not enough product around here. Sometimes I feel like we're just giving the scalpers a heads up on where to look by posting here. If Hasbro could keep product on the shelves for these stores then the scalpers wouldn't make money and we could all get back to our nice relaxing hobby. Supply and demand Hasbro, you're not even coming close to meeting the demand and you haven't for a while. I can see waves instantly selling out for a few weeks after they're released, but having pegs sit empty for 95% of the time is inexcusable.Originally Posted by mm74md
It was me! I got there at 8:00 (skipped morning meeting at work), something I haven't done in about six months, and I was the only one there. I go back to the SW section, and BAM, all the new stuff is hanging on the pegs. I picked up 3 Utapau troopers and a Cody, a pretty modest piece of the pie considerring what was there. I was stoked.Originally Posted by mtriv73
I was actually going to stash some of the other "good" stuff for the Matts, but then all of a sudden, 2 other guys show up behind me. They had an obvious scalper look about them, and I can say without a doubt that they were not pleased to see me. I gave them my dirtiest look and slowly stepped aside to see what they were looking for. Of course they started thrashing around for Cody's and the chase pewter holograms. They each loaded up with like 15 figures in their arms, then moved over to the newly stocked ML section. They cleaned out the entire Apocolypse wave. Then they slugged their way over to the Hot Wheels.
I can usually spot the regular scaplers in the Frederick area, as they're pretty much the same guys that have been around since I've been collecting for the last 15 years or so. But these guys are definitely new. Fat, middle-aged, punchable-faced scalpers, without a doubt.
mtriv73 and mm74md, if you guys need anything, just let me know. I'm renewing my commitment to hit Target every morning at 8:00 before work if that's what it takes to beat these guys. I'll run them outta town by the time it's all said and done.
I wasn't able to run to WM this morning. I stayed up too late last night so I needed the sleep. Damn Slick, you musta got all of 4 hours of sleep last night?
KH - If you'll pick up that EB kit for me that would be awesome. We can work out the details later. Thanks in advance.
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
It was about an hour and half of sleep. I had alot to do this morning and I just woke up and couldn't get back to sleep so I just stayed up. I got alot taken care of so now I can take a nap...after I yummy down on some Gen. Tso's chicken that is.Originally Posted by UKWildcat
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
Hey slick, did i disappear from aim?
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
Roanoke Walmart, yesterday:
They are doing some serious remodeling in there, so you are lucky if you can find where the various parts of the toy section is located. If you do, however, they had about 5 Ultra Titanium ARC-170s and X-Wings. No new figs, but the Early Bird Kits were also on sale for $9. Too steep for me after picking one up already for $5 last week.
Other clearance coups: 500th Vader for $5 (last one), Unleashed Asajj Ventress for $3...finally a price these things may move with.
Roanoke Target didn't have anything new out.

Good, glad to here it. I was so madOriginally Posted by seanmcfripp
I appreciate it Sean, but I'm all caught up at the moment. I'm trying to find stuff for other people now (although I wouldn't mind another Cody.)
By the way, the Target in Frederick officially has the lowest prices in the area now at $5.83. All the other Targets as well as Wal-marts are over $6.00For some reason, it varies from Target to Target on the price. Yet another reason to have friends who can get there early.
See you guys at the new website.

Downtown is more than just a location, it's an attitude--and in the 1970s and '80s, that attitude forever changed the face of America. This book charts the intricate web of influences that shaped the generation of experimental and outsider artists working in Downtown New York during the crucial decade from 1974 to 1984. Published in conjunction with the first major exhibition of downtown art (organized by New York University's Grey Art Gallery and Fales Library), The Downtown Book brings the Downtown art scene to life, exploring everything from Punk rock to performance art. The book probes trends that arose in the 1970s and solidified New York's reputation as arbiter of the postmodern American avant-garde. By 1974, the hippie euphoria of the previous decade, with its optimism, free love, and paeans to personal fulfillment, was over. In its place emerged a new kind of experimentation--in art, sex, drugs, and rock and roll. The seven essays featured here examine from different perspectives how Downtown artists constantly pushed the limits of both traditional media and the art world. Art critic Carlo McCormick addresses the energy, power, drugs, and nonstop erotic motion that propelled the scene. Music historian Bernard Gendron explores how minimalism, loft jazz, and Punk all occupied the same Downtown spaces. RoseLee Goldberg, the noted scholar and critic of performance art, looks back at ten years of its ascendancy Downtown. English professor Robert Siegle casts a critical eye on the literature of the Downtown scene. Librarian and archivist Marvin J. Taylor surveys Downtown as both geography and metaphor, and grapples with the question of how best to organize and preserve materials that often challenge the very notion of the archive. The book also includes seminal essays on the critical theories underlying Downtown art, by Brian Wallis; and on Downtown film, by Matthew Yokobosky. The essays are intercut with personal reminiscences by such renowned pioneers of the Downtown scene as Eric Bogosian, Richard Hell, Lydia Lunch, Ann Magnuson, Michael Musto, and Martha Wilson. More than 150 striking photographs feature Downtown denizens and galleries; works by Cindy Sherman, Keith Haring, and many other artists; and hotspots such as CBGBs and Club 57. Hip and provocative, The Downtown Book provides a rare glimpse into the cauldron of the New York artistic counterculture--and the colorful characters who inhabited it. EXHIBITION SCHEDULE Grey Art Gallery and the Fales Library New York University January 10 - April 1, 2006 The Andy Warhol Museum Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Mid-May to September 4, 2006 Austin Museum of Art Austin, Texas November 11, 2006 - January 28, 2007 (tentative dates)

Honorable Mention for the 2006 Museum Publications Design Competition, Books Category, American Association of Museums
" The Downtown Book: The New York Art Scene 1974-1984 celebrates the era's creative commotion, much of it scattershot and under the mainstream radar." --New York Times Style Magazine
"For readers with an interest in New York's art history, the detailed chronology alone makes the book essential source material." --Kenneth Baker, San Francisco Chronicle
"This is a terrific and important book. It brings an interdisciplinary view to one of the most fecund decades in the history of avant-garde art."--Peggy Phelan, Stanford University
"In the late 1970s, when Gregory Battcock and I were both writing art columns for the Soho Weekly News, he divided Manhattan into two kinds of people: the Downtown Slouches and the Uptown Swells. This is a book filled with facts and anecdotes, told by astute eyewitnesses and not detached scholars, about the Downtown Slouches--and the wonderful crazy things they did, and made, over a remarkable ten-year period. All of the contributing writers and artists emphasize one crucial issue: for everyone living and working below Fourteenth Street at that time, identity was synonymous with geography--urban space was our mental space. We were refugees from the America of the 1950s and 60s, outcasts of the suburbs and the shopping malls. We wrote, painted, performed and played music in grateful homage to our spiritual home--and our offerings have borne fruit, as this book makes abundantly clear, by illuminating the history of American art."--Shelley Rice, New York University
"After the Vietnam War we thought we could change the world with a cultural revolution. Read this book and find out how we did it: Art and more Art and lots of Art."--Karen Finley, Visiting Professor, Tisch School for the Arts, New York University
"A magnificent, groundbreaking, blinding bright, really important book."--Dennis Cooper, author of The George Miles Cycle
"This is history still alive. More than memory, it is our identity. Did we know what we were doing? Yes. We were coming in on energy. And creating the ultimate conflagration. Some kind of end-times party. It's all over because it's all over everything we see, hear, and do now. These writings overflow with exquisite passion for a juiced time. Eventually they swept the streets. But we were already out of there."--Thurston Moore, singer and guitarist for Sonic Youth

One such challenge is power consumption. "An exaflop supercomputer might need 100 megawatts of power, which is a significant portion of a power plant," said Dosanjh. "We need to do some research to get that down. Otherwise no one will be able to power one."
Then there's the issue of reliability, which tends to decline as the parts count increases. Given that an exascale computer might have a million hundred-core processors, Dosanjh speculated that such a machine might run for 10 minutes before suffering a failure. To manage a machine with so many parts, new fault-tolerance schemes need to be developed.
Data movement is also a critical concern, said Dosanjh. "The rate of memory access has not kept up with the ability of these processors to do floating point operations," he said.
And in addition to the hardware engineering challenges, programmers have to be educated to write code for such massively parallel systems. "As far as the industry is concerned, there needs to be an education effort as well to get people trained to write software at this scale," said Dosanjh.

Exaflop computer studies
$7.4 million in funding has been provided for researchers at Sandia and Oak Ridge National Laboratories to look at issues for exaflop computers They are preparing for the challenges of developing an exascale computer at the new Institute for Advanced Architectures.

"56-year-old Maine man Roland Cote almost lost his life in a house fire 3:30 a.m. Sunday morning but his black Labrador Retriever, Thumper, managed to wake him by grabbing his arm. A quick 911 call was all there was time for before having to get out.
The Greenville resident said his 7-year-old grandson Colby and wife Avalone were staying with relatives at the time of the fire. The State Fire Marshal's Office says that their cat, Princess, likely knocked over a lantern which melted a gas line.
Authorities say the home is insured, and Cote will have the property cleaned up and a double-wide mobile home brought in. The family will be staying with a family friend in town for the meantime."

NEW ALBANY – Construction began last week on Tanglefoot Trail, a 44-mile stretch of former railroad which will be converted to a 10-foot-wide paved path for bicyclists and pedestrians.
The first phase includes clearing, bridge repair and trail construction and is scheduled to be completed in early 2013. Phase 2 will see construction of welcome centers in New Albany, Pontotoc and Houston, along with "whistle stop" rest-area facilities at Ingomar, Ecru, Algoma and New Houlka. An equestrian trail also is under consideration.
"The Rails to Trails project keeps the railway corridor intact in case of future needs for rail transport, utility or other use," said Randy Kelley, executive director of Three Rivers Planning and Development District. "By preserving that corridor, the local governments of our area have done a far-reaching thing to ensure future economic development opportunities."
Betsey Hamilton, chairwoman of the GM&O Rails-to-Trails Recreational District, added, "As we seek to provide economic opportunities for the communities along the trail, the Tanglefoot Trail will provide people of all ages an attractive place to bike, walk, jog or simply enjoy the outdoors."
Tanglefoot Trail gets its name from a locomotive on the earliest railroad built on the route, which was founded by writer William Faulkner's grandfather.
Organizers hope to duplicate the success of Mississippi's longest rails-to-trails conversion to date, the 40-mile Longleaf Trace between Hattiesburg and Prentiss.
The Longleaf opened in 2000 and has seen as many as 65,000 users in a year, giving rise to businesses from stables to cafes and bed and breakfasts.
"Our communities are going to change because of this, and we're going to become destination towns because of this," Hamilton said. "I think the trail is going to set [this region] apart, from Tupelo to Corinth to Oxford."
Tanglefoot Trail will offer outdoor recreation in an environment that includes townscapes, upland forests, farms and wetlands.
Stops along Tanglefoot Trail also will offer unique historical perspectives on varied subjects including geology and fossils, Middle Woodland mound builders, the Chickasaw Nation, early settler life, the Civil War and the region's industrialization.
The project is funded through a $9.6 million federal Transportation Enhancement grant as well as lesser state grants and appropriations.
