Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) and Medical Decision Analysis (MDA) are relatively new disciplines that use quantitative methods to assess the value of "information" and integrate "best evidence" into cost-effective patient care interventions. Although these disciplines are already being integrated into the curricula of most Medical Schools and have resulted in the development of a large number of scientific publications and clinical guidelines they have stimulated little interest in Pathology. This course is designed to introduce pathologists, residents and fellows with the basic concepts of EBM and MDA, and suggest various potential applications of the methods being proposed by these disciplines for the analysis of problems in Pathology practice and research.
The course will be organized as a series of lectures that will briefly discuss the basic principles of EBM and MDA illustrated by practical examples designed to review the "quality" of recent publications in the pathology literature according to EBM principles and help the participants learn to apply software tools of meta-analysis, and simple Bayesian statistics for the development of evidence- based rules for the application of immunostains, identification of evidence- based diagnostic criteria, integration of prognostic and predictive models and other applications.
Specific topics to be discussed include: 1) an epistemological review of the current state of the art in current pathology practice with a discussion of the differences between a "disease", "clinico-pathologic syndrome" and "pathologic entities", precision of current diagnostic and prognostic models in anatomic pathology and other considerations, 2) brief review of the history and basic concepts of EBM and an overview of how to critically assess the quality of published literature, 3) review of different systems to evaluate levels of evidence, 4) introduction to the "FRAP" (framing questions, retrieve relevant data, appraise the quality and appropriateness of the data and patient -based decision making) paradigm, 5) introduction to MDA and the use of Bayesian statistical methods, meta- analysis, decision trees and other tools for the development of patient -based evidence-based guidelines (EBCG), 6) introduction to the need to validate clinical rules with holdout data ("test sets") not used for the derivation of the rules, 7) introduction to the development of EBCG for the utilization of immunostains in anatomic pathology, selection of most valuable diagnostic features in difficult differential diagnoses, evaluation of prognostic features with meta-analysis and other applications.
After completion of the course, participants will be able to 1) acquire a better understanding of the validity and applicability of data being published in the literature, 2) appreciate the value of approaching various problems in pathology using a systematic approach that takes into consideration evidence levels and study design limitations and 3) become aware of the availability of a variety of quantitative methods that are being widely used in other medical specialties yet have not been generally applied for the analysis of data in pathology research and practice.
A syllabus will be distributed to registrants at the meeting. After the meeting, all participants will receive web access to the PowerPoint presentation given at the Annual Meeting along with the text portion of the syllabus.
(LAST SCHEDULED PRESENTATION) This course may be used for CME credits or SAM credits.

A class of algebras is congruence distributive if each of its members is congruence distributive.
Congruence distributivity has many structural consequences. The most striking one is perhaps Jónsson's Lemma [Bjarni Jónsson, Algebras whose congruence lattices are distributive, Math. Scand. 21 (1967) 110--121 (1968) MRreview] which implies that a finitely generated CD variety is residually finite.

Brian Hernacki, webOS chief architect, leaves HP
The Verge has learned that HP's Brian Hernacki, who most recently has served as chief architect for webOS, has left the company. Though he'd never been a public face of the product the same way big names like Jon Rubinstein or Matias Duarte had been, Hernacki's departure seems to leave another relatively high-profile talent hole in the ranks at a critical time when HP hopes to make the transition to Open webOS over the coming months.
Hernacki had been with Palm since 2009, coming from Symantec where he'd served as a researcher for the better part of the last decade. It's unclear how (or if) HP will look to directly fill the role — it's possible that this is part of a larger restructuring in the transition to open source. We'll keep you updated as we hear more.

J. W. GRIEST, Gen. Mgr. The Retail Merchants Institute 20 W. Jackson Blvd. CHICAGO In Plain, Forceful Lectures For Managers and Executives What Business Management Means. Helpful Hints on Advertising. Co-operative Plans for Trade Extension. For Those Who Sell The Winning Salesman. You and Your Salary. Push, Pep and Personality. For Chambers of Commerce and the Community Distribution and the Part It Plays in the Development of Cities and Communities. The Spirit of the Hive. The Need of Practical Training in Business. BETTER BUSINESS A Short Preface Mr. Griest is Manager of the Retail Merchants Institute, of Chicago. The Institute is known, nationally, among the chambers of commerce, merchants associations, and kindred organizations, as well as individual men, as a source of definite information and constructive help. The services of this Institute have won the endorsement of state and national associations. It has been recommended by them to cities and communities that are seeking a plan to develop their local business and community interests. The primary aim of this Institute is to assist directly local retail merchants in planning trade extension and constructive community work. In addition to this, the Institute conducts intensive short courses in salesmanship, personal efficiency, advertising, business management and control, and kindred allied subjects. Under the general direction of Mr. Griest nearly one thousand towns and communities throughout the country have had their business conditions analyzed and the merchants have profited from the constructive programs recommended by him. It is seldom that an individual is found with a combination of successful business training and marked ability to speak in public, but in Mr. Griest we have this rare combination. During the years of his extensive travel in forty states and eight provinces of Canada, he has gathered a vast amount of vital information for those who want to enlarge their individual business and develop the community in which they live. Mr. Griest's lectures treat, in a general way, of the need of practical training along the lines of community development, co-operation, trade extension, salesmanship, advertising, personal efficiency and organization work. We prefer to make no comment ourselves regarding the merits of his talks, but quote on the following pages, with pleasure, a few of the many comments selected at random from the pages mailed to us from cities where he has spoken. PROMINENT SPEAKER ADDRESSES LIONS AT MEETING TODAY One of the most forceful addresses ever given before the Lions Club was given at noon today by J. W. Griest, manager of the Retail Merchants Institute of Chicago. He spoke on The Needs of Education in Business, and although his time was limited to a few minutes, those minutes contained much practical instruction and helpful suggestions to the merchants or business men. For a number of years Mr. Griest and the Retail Merchants Institute have been compiling data of all kinds in regard to small cities over the United States. The investigations have led up to startling information as to where a town starts, what builds a town, what makes a town grow, how much trade in a town's territory goes to outside cities, the place the retail merchants have in the growth of a town and other facts that affect vitally the well being of a town and its people. Mr. Griest has a pleasing personality, his delivery holds the attention of his hearers and above all he gives interesting facts.— The Eastland, Texas, Daily Oil Belt News, August 28, 1923. YOUNG PEOPLE MUST BE SOLD TO THE ADVANTAGES OF THEIR COMMUNITY, SAYS EXPERT IN C. OF C. ADDRESS That cooperation is the watchword of the day and the solution of all trade difficulties was emphasized by J. W. Griest of the Retail Merchants Institute of Chicago in an address given before more than 150 men and women at the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at the Fair Street Reformed Church last evening. Mr. Griest was a forceful and direct speaker, and from the very start commanded the entire attention of his audience. It is seldom that Kingson has had the opportunity to hear a man who has the knowledge of present-day problems that Mr. Griest has, and it is unfortunate that a larger number of Kingston citizens did not hear him.— Kingston, Ulster Co., N. Y., Tuesday, January 29, 1924. KIWANIS CLUB HEARS DISCUSSION ON HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS In what was described by President Banks D. Brown of the Connellsville Kiwanis Club as the best address ever made before it, J. W. Griest, general manager of the Retail Merchants Institute of Chicago, today featured the mid-week luncheon program of that organization with a talk on The Need of Practical Training in Business. — Connellsville, Pa., Daily Courier, August 13, 1924. FROM AD CLUB NEWS Published Weekly by THE KANSAS CITY ADVERTISING CLUB All of us who heard Mr. Griest were impressed not only by his inexhaustible supply of information, data and facts regarding merchandising, but his pleasing personality and his incomparable ability to effectively put across to his audience those things that he desired to emphasize. He was indeed a treat and his talk an inspiration conducive to better business and a better understanding of what makes for better business. MUST PULL TOGETHER IN INTELLIGENT WAY FOR CITY'S INTEREST Speaker of C. of C. Annual Dinner Says Business Men Must Unite to Boost Dunkirk as Trading Center A Wonderful Talk The address by J. W. Griest, manager of the Retail Merchants Institute of Chicago, was the next. Mr. Griest is the type of speaker commonly spoken of as a live wire. He has a vast fund of information of particular interest to the commercial part of the community and it made an especial appeal to a goodly portion of his audience, who are business men, and he had his information at his tongue's end and he combined much in a few words, illustrating his points by personal incidents in his experience or as the result of his investigation. His subject was The Need of Education in Business. Not just the kind of education acquired in schools, though he did not detract from that, but just good common horse sense acquired in the hard knocks of commercial life. Summing it all up, the speaker, in conclusion, said that co-operation and working together intelligently, harmoniously, and with a feeling for the best interests of the community as a whole, is the secret of successfully fighting the big retailers and mail order houses. The speaker was greeted as he concluded with a storm of applause that reached the proportions of an ovation.— Dunkirk, N. Y. Evening Observer, January 11, 1924. LANCASTER ADVERTISERS CLUB Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Oct. 1, 1924. Dear Mr. Griest: I returned this morning and the first thing that I want to do is to tell you that your talk has excited extraordinary comment downtown. Mr. A. K. Barnes, our president, called me on the telephone last evening to say that he had received a number of telephone calls during the past two weeks commenting on your message. Enthusiasm is not confined to retail circles. Several manufacturers, a broker, a banker, and an automobile salesman have expressed themselves, so I have every reason to believe that your message reached, with telling force, into every classification of our membership. (Signed) W. W. HERROLD, Secretary, Lancaster Advertisers Club. A STANDING OVATION AT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETING They were all enthusiastic over the talk of the Chicagoan, and not only gave him a standing ovation when he stopped, but requested him to continue.— Gadsden, Ala., Times, January 3, 1925. We had Mr. J. W. Griest with us last Wednesday and he knocked 'em for a goal. He addressed a meeting of about two hundred business men and gave them a forceful straight-forward talk. At the close of his talk he was literally mobbed by our merchants who insisted on his staying over and addressing them further that night. Mr. Griest consented and we had a turnaway crowd. What Mr. Griest had to say was timely and helpful. — Ray Gill, Secretary, Chamber of Commerce, Fort Smith, Ark., December 15, 1924. SPECIAL FORUM BY C. OF C. WAS BENEFICIAL ONE Local People Did Not Heed Call So Well, But Those Attending Enjoyed a Splendid Program Less than 100 persons assembled at the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday evening in special forum. These persons, however, were doubly paid for their interest and received one of the rarest and most surprising treats. Those in attendance last night came quite unprepared for so diversified and highly entertaining program. Not only did these merchants enjoy the address of J. W. Griest, but everyone present was wonderfully appreciative of the message. Mr. Griest took for his subject, The Putting of Education into Retail Merchandising. From the very start he was in command of his audience. No more stirring address, no more helpful arguments have been presented than those of Mr. Griest before the forum Tuesday evening. The pity of it all is that those who should have been there and those who are interested in community development were not there to profit by it. Mr. Griest is manager of the Retail Merchants Institute of Chicago. He is a man of attractive personality, a direct and forceful speaker and puts each theme of his program before his audience in the clearest possible manner. One business man, a wholesaler, declared after having heard Mr. Griest that it was worth $5 of his money or any one's money to have heard this address of Mr. Griest's. It pays to attend the Chamber functions.— From Grafton, W. Va., Sentinel, February 22, 1922. GRIEST GIVES ADDRESS HERE TO MERCHANTS Local Business Men So Well Pleased They Ask Him to Remain Over and Speak Before Another Meeting This Morning One of the most forceful addresses ever given before the Chamber of Commerce was delivered by J. W. Griest, manager of the Retail Merchants Institute at Chicago, at the banquet meeting in the rooms on Pearl street at 6:00 o'clock last evening. Mr. Griest has a pleasing personality, his delivery holds the attention of his hearers and above all he gives interesting facts. Mr. Griest made a plea for organization in business. He told of instances that had come to his attention where men failed in business because they used all their time and energy with details that could have been handled by subordinates. The head of a business must have leisure in which to do the thinking for the business, he said. His entire address was one of instruction and one that got close attention from the hearers.— From the Logansport, Indiana, Morning Press, Thursday, November 22, 1923. One of the very best and most practical speakers who has ever appeared before the Celina Kiwanis Club is J. W. Griest, head of the Retail Merchants Institute of Chicago, who spoke to the members at the noon-day luncheon Tuesday upon the vital need of co-operation.— From the Daily Standard, Celina, Ohio, October 10th, 1922. BUSINESS EXPERT DELIGHTS HEARERS AT KIWANIS CLUB Members of the Punxsutawney Business Men's Association were guests of the Kiwanis Club last evening at their weekly luncheon to hear J. W. Griest, general manager of the Retail Merchants Institute of Chicago, and business expert talk on The Need of Practical Training in Business. The talk was one which many of his hearers declare to have been the best on the subject of successful merchandising that has ever been offered to a local audience. The speaker stressed co-operation as the keynote to the successful conduct of any business or any community. He gave some startling figures as regards the business done by Sears and Roebuck, and pointed out that only through co-operation can the small city merchants hope to meet that competition. The address was a lengthy one but Mr. Griest held the attention of his hearers from start to finish.— Punxsutawney, Pa., Punxsutawney Spirit, Sept. 6, 1924. FROM THE LIONS CLUB, ALTOONA, PENNA. August 20th, 1923. Mr. Griest is without a doubt one of the most able speakers it has been our pleasure to hear. With a voice that carries exceedingly well, a mighty good delivery, and last, but not least, he knows his subject. It was a real treat to have him with us and we hope to have him again in the near future. Very truly yours, Chairman Program Committee. SPEAKER FOR MERCHANTS' BANQUET HERE IS PRAISED Respecting J. W. Griest, who is to speak at the merchants' dinner arranged by the Chamber of Commerce for the Y. M. C. A. Monday evening, the following communication has been received by Secretary Cook from the Dunkirk Chamber of Commerce: Dear Mr. Cook: Mr. J. W. Griest, manager of the Retail Merchants Institute, spoke at our annual meeting last night and we were deeply impressed with his ability as a speaker, and I am writing to assure you that you have made no mistake in arranging for him to visit Warren and to express the hope that this advance assurance may assist you somewhat in building up your attendance. Mr. Griest held our audience for nearly an hour discussing retailers' problems and conditions. From the standpoint of an expert his illustrations were particularly apt and his whole talk formed one of the most interesting and instructive talks that our local retail merchants have ever heard. Intermixed with his audience were many manufacturing executives, who, although they were not directly concerned with retail distribution, also took a deep interest in the discussion, and I have been repeatedly urged to arrange for the return of Mr. Griest since his talk. (Signed) W. A. Brennan, Sec'y. You will make no mistake to have Mr. J. W. Griest on your program. He addressed the retail merchants of Pine Bluff in December. He is an entertaining and pleasing speaker as well as a man with a practical instructive message for retail merchants. — R. W. Etter, President Seventh District Associated Advertising Clubs, Pine Bluff, Ark., February 3, 1925.

Roger Goodell is such a dweeb. And he's ruining the NFL.
1 Comment
Good Morning from Omaha,
I dont know if this was a rush to judgement or just a really misplaced sense of self worth. AFter all there were 15,000 pages of "evidence" but I guess it goes back to learning that what is important is not what you know, but what you can prove.
Hearsay, second hand things that are surmised, and a coaches bad reputation are not enough to gut a football team.
And the dust has not settled on this just yet as Vilma has not yet settled his defamation suit against Goodel.
I still love the cartoon- I guess you can get caught up in the old where's there is smoke there is fire analogy. I guess I am guilty as charged. as a former secretary of transportation under Reagan once said after being cleared of charges- "where do I go to get my reputation back?"
That is a really tough question.
Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

"well written, well read, very funny"
No surprise that Christopher Buckley is a brilliant author like his father. Although very erudite, I didn't have to go to the dictionary every few sentences like I do for a WFB novel.
Clear audio and very well performed by Anne Heche. The snippet of sample audio from the book is not a good example of the quality of reading Ms. Heche brings to this book. She does the main character magnificently.
I was literally laughing aloud as I listened.
"Don't let this be your first Dick Francis Novel"
Dick Francis is wonderful and if you like him, you'll enjoy this book. But if you are new to Dick Francis, you'll find this a bit slow and boring. Read about 15 other Dick Francis titles before this one (there are plenty of awesome books to choose from).
This book goes into detail about computers: the early PC. Imagine reading aloud BASIC code. That's what happens in this book. Dull. There is a LOT of discussion about putting computer code on cassette tapes...over the course of 15 years! Not realistic, and a bit dull.
The book is divided into two related but quite distinct parts. The first section is a complete novel.
"poor audio"
This was a good story and if you like Dick Francis, you'll enjoy Odds Against. Unfortunately the audio transfer from tape to digital is poor. Of all the Tony Briton recordings I've listened to, this is the worst. And whilst Briton is a phenomenal narrator, in this book, his rendering of British accents is so strong that in some cases it is impossible to discern what the characters are saying.
I thought the story got off to a slow start, and the ending seemed to try too hard to make a certain financial situation sound much more dire than I thought believable. Still the characters were vividly real.
So this may be the worst Dick Francis book I've listened to with the worst audio quality. Still, on any day the worst of Dick Francis is far superior to the best of many others. If you have a choice between listening to Odds Against of another Dick Francis title, choose the other Dick Francis title. But if you must choose between Dick Francis and another author, odds are against the other author.
"A great novel"
Well performed! (I agree that the drunken guy was quite dramatic, but probably realistic...anyhow it is just a short bit). Still, I could listen to Tony Britton all day. He really brings life to these novels.
Fabulous story. If you like Dick Francis' style, you'll enjoy this one about steeplechasing.
After the book hits the climax, it continues for a while to resolve another plot point. Nice because I wanted more. Kind of like one of those classical symphonies that sounds like it is ending, but then goes on to entertain for a while longer.
"Another great novel...well read"
I was enjoying this audio book so much that I was sorry it ended. Brilliantly performed with Tony Britton creating numerous voices for so many characters. A good story with just the right mix of psychological and physical drama. I did notice a few themes in this book that I had encountered in other Francis novels. This was probably the prototype.
"Important information"
I think the 2.0 reading is really the 1.0 with a few 2.0 sections pasted in. You can tell in the audio when mid thought the sound gets noticeably louder or softer.
Great book with important insights into how the world works. It is thick "listening" at times so you'll need to pay attention.
"Read this one"
Awesome book with thought provoking insights. Well read with clear audio. I enjoyed listening to this book but then went out and bought a hard copy. Each aphorism is captivating in its own way. Each sentence is its own story. To plow through them in a non-stop narrative means that a lot will be missed. To truly benefit from this work, you need to read it slowly. The optimal way to absorb this book would be to have a hard copy at the bedside and read just a few aphorisms each night.
"brilliantly narrated"
I've listened to many of Dick Francis' novels and they are all terrific; Hot Money is no exception.
There is a lot of "character development" in this book, more so than anything short of Dostoyevsky. Yet Francis keeps it moving along exceptionally well.
What really set this book apart was the language. If you like British English, you'll absolutely love this one. Of course all of Francis' novels use British English, but this one somehow has an extra dose that almost made me feel like I was listening to P.G. Wodehouse. Tony Britton really brought this book to life wonderfully.
"Awesome book"
Expertly narrated, good audio quality. Great novel, I wish it were abridged to about 12 hours instead of 8.5 so I could have gotten more of Ayn Rand's writing. The plot moves along smartly and the speeches make their points much more succinctly than in Atlas Shrugged. Dominique is not someone I'd hold up as a role model for how to make a happy marriage, but I don't think this novel is an allegory about marriage. It is about quality and competence. Nearly all the characters are archetypes or stereotypes. But the points and philosophy are important for everyone to understand. Highly recommended.
"Interesting perspective on Israel"
I agree with a previous reviewer that the author's voice is a bit high pitched for the seriousness of the text. However, I excuse this since the author is telling us his own story, and these really are his words. Also, his reading is dynamic and never boring or mechanical.
The first half gives an interesting perspective on what it is like to be in Lebanon.
What I found most interesting was the second half regarding Israel. Being a Jewish author gives Friedman credibility when discussing the feelings of the Israelis. Even though I had read quite a bit on this subject (I strongly recommend O Jerusalem by Lapierre), I was enlightened by the clear description of the three aspects of the future Israeli state that Ben-Gurion and subsequent leaders dealt with. This alone makes the book worth listening too as this basic aspect of the formation of a Jewish State is fundamental to all understanding of this major world issue. Having some background in the geography and history will greatly enable the listener to follow the discussions about the Labor and Likud parties.
Because this abridged version is short, it is easy enough to get through, and I recommend it.
"Required reading - sort of"
I listened to this book because it is on the U.S. Navy recommended reading list. This book is a good introduction to the issues of globalization and while scholars of India and China would probably find it way too basic, for the rest of us, this book can be the beginning of opening our eyes to the issues we read about in the papers.
Excellent discussion of why jobs are being offshored and a real wake up call to anyone who has high aspirations for their children. Great insight as to why the Chinese have the manufacturing jobs and the Indians have the technology jobs.
The author uses the word "tectonic" more than I think is needed, but otherwise the prose is clear. I found the audio quality to be excellent and the narration very crisp. Yes, the reader's voice is a bit mechanical, but I did not have any problem with that.

Story by Megan Leahy

The best way to describe the revival of Soulpepper's Death of a Salesman is also the laziest: not a dry eye in the house. It ended with audience members standing in ovation before the lights came up and the cast visibly checking back into reality from the exasperating final scenes, recovering themselves to relish the tribute. In the words of actor Nancy Palk, "I honestly believe it would take a stony stony heart not to be moved by this play."
Arthur Miller completed Salesman in 1948, over the course of just six-weeks based on a short story he wrote when he was seventeen. The plot revolves around Willy Loman, a travelling salesman who has put all of his eggs in one basket: the 'American Dream' that good, hard-work will pay off in his golden years. When success never comes, his competitiveness and pride prevent him from acknowledging defeat and he is driven into delusion, culminating in one tragic gesture.
Two years ago, Director Albert Schultz' production of the Pulitzer Prize winning play was met with universal praise. To everyone's delight much of the original cast has returned for the second run, with Joseph Ziegler's Dora Award winning interpretation of Willy Loman, and acclaimed performances by Nancy Palk, as Willy's wife Linda, and Ari Cohen as his son Biff.
Arguably giving the most affable performance was given by Mike Ross who joined the cast seamlessly in the role of Happy Loman, Willy's youngest son. Raquel Duffy as always brings her infectious laugh playing a woman with whom Willy had an affair. Other noteworthy performances from Michael Hanrahan, as Willy's neighbour Charley, Gregory Prest as Charley's son Bernard and of course William Webster as Uncle Ben.
A thoroughly heart wrenching play, somehow you'll still leave feeling elated, wet-eyed but smiling and awe struck at the quality of acting. From set design to stage direction an all-around flawless production, proving Soulpepper to be leading the way in the Toronto's (perhaps Canada's?) theatre companies.
Death of a Salesman runs until October 6th at 50 Tank House Lane in the Distillery District. Soulpepper offers rush tickets for those 21 and under for $5. Youth Rush Tickets can be purchased at the box office 30 minutes before all performances. Regular student prices are $32.

Daily Rides
Chilly Hilly
Flying Wheels
Eight thousand bicyclists ride STP every year; almost all finish. Group Health STP provides mechanical support, food, first aid, water and toilets every 20 miles. Personal support vehicles (PSV) are strongly discouraged because they create additional hazards for the cyclists, as well as local traffic. If you cannot ride Group Health STP without personal support, please ask your PSV driver to stay off the route, and to meet you only at the designated route stops.
All participants are asked to stop for every red light and stop sign, yield to traffic at intersections, to speak up when passing and to ride in single file. Headphones that impair hearing are illegal and not permitted on the ride. Riders are asked to limit pacelines to seven and to take responsibility for their group. Likewise, riders should always ask before joining a paceline. Group Health STP is not a race. Local and State police will be on the course and will be writing tickets to those cyclists who break the law. Remember that cyclists who disobey the rules of the road give all cyclists a bad name.
With help from the Glodwing Motorcyle Club and the Washington State Patrol, riders will be escorted in-groups across the Longview Bridge between 8:30 AM & 2:00 PM on Sunday. You will be asked to exit for queuing prior to reaching the bridge. Escorts are planned for every 5 to 10 minutes. Expect a short delay and use caution when crossing the bridge. Watch your downhill speed and be alert for the steel expansion joints.
STP riders are well-supported with plenty of food and mechanical support and DO NOT NEED a PSV. Despite this fact, we continue to see an excessive number of PSVs on the cycling route, leading to unsafe and unpleasant riding conditions.
In an effort to ensure the wellbeing and enjoyment of everyone we ask all car drivers meeting riders to please use the following alternate routes to the six major food stops. STP is great for cyclists, not cars. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
1. Mile mark 24.0 REI Food Stop in Kent. From I-5 take the SR-405 exit heading east. Then take the SR-181 (West Valley Hwy) heading south. You are now on the STP course so be careful. The REI Mini-stop will be 4 miles ahead on your right at 228th and W. Valley Hwy.
2. Mile mark 53.6 Food Stop at Spanaway Junior High. From I-5 just past Tacoma take the SR-512 exit following this east to Hwy 7. Take the Hwy 7 exit and head south on Hwy 7 for 3 miles, then take a left on 159th St. S. The Spanaway Junior High will be two blocks ahead on your left.
3. Mile mark 100.2 Centralia College Mid Point Stop in Centralia. From I-5 take exit 82 and then take a left going back under I-5. Follow Harrison Avenue when it jogs to the left and becomes W. Main Street. Go four blocks and turn right on S. Washington Ave. Go one block and the College will be on your left. Note: This is a food stop for the One Day Riders Only.
4. Mile mark 145.3 Riverside Park Food Stop in Lexington. From I-5 take exit 39 and head west to SR-411 and take a right heading north on SR-411. The entrance to the park will be on your right; it is easy to miss. When leaving this location head back to I-5. DO NOT follow the riders over the Lewis and Clark Bridge.
5. Mile mark 176 St. Helens High School Food Stop. From I-5 after you enter Oregon and before downtown Portland take the Hwy 30 exit and head west on Hwy 30 for 29 miles to St. Helens. Take a Left on Gale St. to get to the High School. When returning you will backtrack on Hwy 30 to I-5. Do not follow the riders route.
6. Mile mark 204.5 Finish Line Festival at Holladay Park in northeast Portland, next to Lloyd Center. From I-5 southbound or northbound, take Exit #302A (City Center/Rose Quarter). Follow the exit to NE Weidler St. and head east. Continue to NE 9th Ave., and take a right. Then take a left on Multnomah St. The finish line in Holladay Park will be on your right between NE 11th and 13th Ave., just south of Lloyd Center. There are many public parking lots in the area for the local businesses and some require a parking fee.

Phils to reward svelte Young
Delmon Young has some incentive to lay off the desserts: He can earn $600,000 based on his weight this season.
Young's $750,000, one-year contract with the Philadelphia Phillies allows him to earn an additional $2.75 million in bonuses.
The deal for the AL championship series MVP, announced Tuesday, calls for him to get on a scale on six occasions to be chosen by the team. He'll receive $100,000 each time he makes weight, according to details obtained by The Associated Press. The first three times, he must be 230 pounds or less, and the second three, 235 pounds or less.
Young also would earn a $250,000 bonus for being on the active roster for one day, and $100,000 each for 40, 80, 120 and 160 days.
Young lost 30 pounds between the 2009 and 2010 seasons, when he was with the Minnesota Twins. He went up to 239 before dropping to 207.
McCann eyes opener: Braves catcher Brian McCann said Wednesday "things are ramping up" midway through his six-month rehabilitation schedule from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He began throwing last week and started running two weeks ago.
McCann is expected to miss at least the first two weeks of the season.
Motte, Cards agree: Reliever Jason Motte and the St. Louis Cardinals have agreed to a $12 million, two-year contract, avoiding salary arbitration.
Pennington in fold: The Arizona Diamondbacks and shortstop Chris Pennington have avoided arbitration by reaching a two-year, $5 million contract agreement.
All-Star host: Commissioner Bud Selig awarded the 2015 All-Star game to Cincinnati on Wednesday. The city hasn't hosted an All-Star game since 1988, when the Reds played at Riverfront Stadium. It'll be the fifth time the game is played in Cincinnati.

Thoughts from a 21st century educator.
Today a 9th grade student asked me if there was something he could do to tell if two categorical variables had a relationship or not. The Χ2 test would be perfect, except that most of my 9th grade students don't yet have the mathematical acumen to do the calculation themselves.
So I created a very simple calculator in JavaScript for the Χ2 test. It is located here: http://davidwees.com/javascript/chisquaredtest/.
Note that this calculator doesn't check that the original data is fit to be included, and definitely does not yet include the Yates correction for continuity.

Halloween 2010
Last year during Halloween, I didn't have this little face. But she was definitely on my mind because she was due to be born, Halloween 2009. She didn't come on Halloween and I was sad about it because I was in pain, but I still think of her as a Halloween baby.
This year we went out and took pictures during the afternoon to save me the anxiety of them messing up their costumes or there not being enough lighting to get pictures. I'm going to do it every year because the rest of the day felt very laid back and they got to wear their costumes most of the day which is fun for them! I had a really hard time picking from our little photo shoot. We got a lot of good pictures thanks to Tia being around to help me round up the girls. Miss Lime was still hard to keep up with but I managed. So be prepared for picture overload.
Can you guess what their costumes are? Besides the obvious? Because we had a theme going…white owl and ginger cat…
They were Hedwig and Crookshanks. We {Heart} Harry Potter.
If you were wondering, Miss Raine's costume was born from THIS tutorial at Craftzine. Little Limes was all original but very easy considering I didn't have to hem the fleece. This was the first go at the bootie template that I posted about earlier this week. I just sewed a tail into the seam of my easy fleece pants pattern…made a shirt out of fleece and sewed the half circle right to the top of it. I did cut the shirt down the back and added some velcro because she would not have been able to make it into the shirt otherwise. The ears I just sewed haphazardly onto an elastic headband…as you can see. Stuff like this I don't try to make perfect because anything will look cute with that sweet little painted face!!!

OMG! Could this pictures be any cuter? Magen I love this page you constructed. So enjoyable! Lilly's little face is scrumptious enough to eat! LOL
Magen says:
Thank you April!! It makes me happy that is "enjoyable" that is what I'm aiming for!
harmony says:
i totally dig the costumes. and the photography too!( im hoping we get a nice camera for xmas, so hint to K to hint to kalob on what kind to get. but tell him also, he doesnt need the very best and most expensive one.) what message was raine delivering?
Magen says:
Thank you :) But I have to say…and this may sound awful…but I think your daughter wins in the cuteness department. Your baby is seriously, the prettiest baby I have EVER seen. I make Husband look at her every time I read your blog. She's gorgeous.
Magen says:
Thanks, I have taken over Husbands camera and have been learning how to use Aperture and Lightroom. I told Husband to hint to him…I'm not sure he will follow through though. Raine was delivering a scribbled message she rolled up for a prop. She did this herself and that is why it is tied with a hair rubber band. She wanted to be delivering a message just like Hedwig!

Program Director: Dr. Hardy Kornfeld
In the new millennium, collaborative efforts between basic and clinical investigators is crucial to realize the wealth of knowledge derived from the human genome project and other important discoveries in biomedical research. These collaborative relationships will result in significant improvements in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases.
The Millennium PhD Program (MPP) ensures that physicians are equipped with the tools necessary to allow patients to benefit from the remarkable advances in knowledge derived from the basic biomedical research.
The MPP grants PhD degrees to people who previously earned an MD. The students are given substantial credit for medical school classes, so that only a minimum number of additional didactic courses (as few as one) are required before the student can take a qualifying exam.
The student stipend is divided among three areas; the clinical department pays the percentage for time working in the clinical area plus benefits, the Graduate School pays the traditional student stipend and the Thesis Advisor pays the balance.
The MPP is open to UMMS physicians with an MD or equivalent degree and UMMS graduate and undergraduate medical students who are officially enrolled in any of the clinical clerkship, residency and/or fellowship programs at UMMS, or who have completed such clinical training. Medical students applying for MPP must receive their MD before starting MPP training. Candidates will be reviewed and selected for participation in the program by the MPP Advisory Board.
Typical MPP candidates are physicians in subspecialty fellowship programs who are doing research and contemplating KO8 applications. Other typical candidates are medical residents enrolled in the research track.
Requirements for MPP During the MPP training years the student is required to devote a minimum of 80% time to graduate studies and research. Up to 20% can be spent doing other activities such as clinical rotations. There is a typical qualifying exam and thesis defense requirement. The student and mentor can chose members of the Research Advisory Committee from any faculty in an existing GSBS program.
To obtain a PhD degree from MPP, a candidate will:
The PhD Degree issued will be in Biomedical Sciences.
The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences recognizes the power of a diverse student body and encourages applications from individuals with varied experiences, perspectives and backgrounds.
The University provides equal opportunity and access to all applicants and students. The University adheres strictly to all applicable state and federal regulations relating to nondiscrimination and equal opportunity.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) — Purdue trustees nominated Mitch Daniels to take over as the 12th Purdue University president.
Motion to vote Governor Daniels in as the next Purdue president passed unanimously.
Daniels will start in January at the conclusion of his second term as governor. He is succeeding France Cordova who will step down July 15.
Keith Krach, board chairman, heralded Daniels' appointment as "an innovative, game-changing move for Purdue."
C rdova, Purdue's 11th president, said Daniels' experience as a leader in the top levels of business and government will serve Purdue well.
Daniels praised Purdue as an invaluable asset for Indiana and the country and as an educational institution globally renowned for producing discoveries and graduates in high demand.
Daniels said his first priority would be to learn from the faculty and earn their trust and collaboration to help further Purdue's research and education missions.
"No institution of any kind means more to Indiana today or tomorrow as Purdue University. It educates at the highest level the engineers, scientists, agricultural experts and information technologists on whom our state and national success disproportionately depend," Daniels said.
A little background on the new Purdue president:
He was born in 1949 in Pennsylvania, his family moved to Indiana in 1959.
Daniels received his degree from Princeton University in 1971 with a bachelor's degree from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
He then graduated from Georgetown University with a law degree in 1979.
Daniels' is married to Cheri Daniels and has four daughters.
He is the 49th Governor of the State of Indiana, elected in 2004, re-elected in 2008.
Daniels' famous campaign slogan is "My Man Mitch". His campaign is also known for his "RV One" (like Air Force One), because he toured the state in a big RV that people signed.

Loading... The Feast of the Goat (original 2000; edition 2003)by Mario Vargas Llosa
Work detailsThe Feast of the Goat by Mario Vargas Llosa (2000)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. I find the expression "benevolent dictator" quite acerbic; paradoxical in fact. The exclusive benefactor of populous land; a leader who promises to the countrymen a utopia (Thomas Moore's unicorn), stands on the world pedestal portraying duplicitous cultural patriotism while butchering every free voice that fails to meet his egotistical standards and motives. Questions stumble upon patriotic validities. Who do we call a true loyalist of a country? The leader who cogently assumes the role of a saviour bestowing atrocities on his own people or those anonymous victims who take a powerful stand to fight against the authoritative rule? The Feast of the Goat makes you sit up and take notice of a fascinating Dominican Republic and its people rising up from an authoritative rule and numerous domestic strives that spanned over a large period in the 20th century. Llosa intertwines three tales forming a purposeful camaraderie between reality and literature encompassing the treacherous dictatorship of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina ruling over three decades and the aftermath of Trujillo's assassination. After 35 years, Urania Cabral hesitantly comes back to her home in Santa Domingo to visit her ailing father. Agustin Cabral once a highly influential part of Trujillo's inner circle, is now reduced to a vegetative state aching to seek Urania's forgiveness for a crime he committed decades ago. The novel lifts off from splendid fiction into the factual reign of Trujillo and the following assassination. Llosa gives a terrifying look into the sinister inner circle of Trujillo exposing brutal crimes of rape, embezzlements and the horrendous murder of the Mirabal Sisters, committed by him and his son(Ramfis Trujillo).On May 30, 1961, Trujillo was shot on Avenida George Washington in Santo Domingo on his way to visit one of his several underage girls ,plotted by Modesto Diaz, Salvador Estrella Sadhalá, Antonio de la Maza, Amado García Guerrero along with a team of men from Trujillo's ministry. The tone of the plot is mysterious penetrating the psyche of those groups of heroic men and thousands of Dominican people who suffered and lived in utmost terror for a major part of a generation. It is exasperating how the international media springs through popular news whilst overlooking the histories of various nations victimized from treachery and charades of nationalistic sovereignty. Heroic sacrifices are forgotten and Angelita Trujillo has the nerve to write a book about her father proclaiming him to be a "admirable, a dedicated fighter and a triumphant man". An excellent novel, another brilliant book by Llosa. Three storylines, brilliantly researched depiction of a living hell - a mad dictatorship. A simply stellar novel of which the author states the following: "It's a novel, not a history book, so I took many, many liberties. The only limitation I imposed on myself was that I was not going to invent anything that couldn't have happened within the framework of life in the Dominican Republic. I have respected the basic facts, but I have changed and deformed many things in order to make the story more persuasive -- and I have not exaggerated." For a longer discussion, feel free to click through here; otherwise continue reading. In his retelling of the last days of the life of dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, who held absolute control over the lives of people in the Dominican Republic from 1930 to 1961, the author employs three narrative strands that weave through each other, or as he calls them, "trajectories," to tell his story. The first is via the return of Urania Cabral, daughter of Agustin Cabral, once a powerful member of Trujillo's staff before his ultimate downfall. After leaving for America at the age of 14 some 35 years earlier, Urania has finally returned to face the demons that drove her away; in the meantime she has been spending her time studying law, taking a position with the World Bank, and reading everything she could get her hands on about the Trujillo regime to try and understand what happened to her, and the reasons for her self-imposed exile. Her story underscores the monster that Trujillo has become, but at the same time, it also illustrates exactly what sacrifices people who enjoy his good graces are willing to make to maintain their status quo. In narrative number two, the story is viewed from the pov of the conspirators who have plotted to kill Trujillo and institute a coup. .While they lay in wait for Trujillo's car to pass by, the reasons behind their actions are revealed. Sadly, things go horribly wrong, and the consequences reverberate. Finally, the third voice is that of Trujillo on the last day of his life. He spends time in the past, recounting his disappointment in his sons, his sexual conquests, and events which he's experienced during his reign, all interspersed with his present. As his body ages, he is plagued by problems with his prostate, which have made him both incontinent and impotent, a significant factor in not only his assassination, but in an earlier tragedy that brings the story full circle and highlights yet another theme of this novel in terms of the link between sex and power. It's difficult to talk about this book and some of its symbolism without giving away the show, hence only a sketchy discussion here, but it is an excellent novel. Even though, as noted above, the author took some liberties in putting his story together, sometimes it's difficult to figure out exactly what is fictional here simply because it is all so realistic, all so "could have happened." If you peruse the vast number of critical reviews of this novel, you will discover a wealth of symbolism lying beneath the action of this novel; if like me you're more of a casual reader and can't catch every single nuance, that's okay. Feast of the Goat is not for the squeamish; if you're upset about yet another novel highlighting the evil that people do then pass on this one. If, however, you are interested in circumstances that can create a person like Trujillo who can keep an entire nation paralyzed in the grip of his authority, this is a good place to start. Although helpful, even if you know nothing about the Dominican Republic or its history, it's definitely not a deal breaker -- the author makes everything extremely clear. Most highly recommended for readers of historical fiction, and for readers of the "Dictator novel" form, where writers have used their literary talents to respond to tyranny, an area I plan to further explore in the near future. With only a few niggling criticisms, I loved this book. This is the story of Trujillo regime in the Dominican Republic and the conspiracy to murder him and change the government. A parallel and personal story is that of Urania, the daughter of a disgraced Trujillo government official. What a compelling story and so well told. Though Vargas Llosa jumps around in time with abandon and with no apparent breaks in the text, he manages to keep me unconfused. The story of Urania serves to personalize the destructive and long-term this evil regime had upon the Dominican Republic. I did feel that I came to know Trujillo and his cronies better than I knew the opposition players; though each had his own story, I wasn't always clear on their individuality. What an exciting way to learn the story of this country! Brutal. Absolutely brutal. That is really the only way to describe the events portrayed in The Feast of the Goat, a work of historical fiction that records the turbulent end of the Trujillo dictatorship in the Dominican Republic. In graphic and meticulous detail, Vargas Llosa does a truly masterful job of weaving the history of the 31-year reign of terror and social progress that marked Rafael Trujillo's stranglehold on the country alongside the riveting tension associated with his last several hours on earth. This is grim and gritty writing that never shies away from chronicling every bit of the murder, torture, dismemberment, sexual violation, and humiliation that were "The Goat's" primary means of subjugating the population. In what turns out to be an effective literary device, the story is told from three perspectives and two different time frames in alternating chapters. Urania Cabral, a successful lawyer visiting her homeland for the first time after living in the United States for 35 years, has returned to confront her father and the ghosts of the past that she buried when she left the island just weeks before Trujillo's assassination. The other two narratives take place in 1961 and focus on the Generalissimo as he progresses through the day on which he is killed as well as several of the "executioners" involved in the murder plot. While the tale of Urania and her father, Senator Augustin Cabral, is pure fiction (i.e., they did not really exist), those centered on Trujillo, his sadistic comrades, and his assassins are embellished accounts based on factual occurrences. In fact, the historical portions of the novel work far better than the parts set in the modern day; in tone and substance, Urania's story seemed a little disjoint from the other accounts and was almost a distraction. Regardless, The Feast of the Goat is a powerful meditation on how absolute power truly does corrupt absolutely, irrespective of whether the original intentions were noble and just (and sanctioned by both the Church and the U.S. government). With few heroes and very little hope, this is a book that was, at times, very difficult to read. Nevertheless, it is also an important work that deserves all of the acclaim it has received.
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0312420277, Paperback)Mario Vargas Llosa, a former candidate for the presidency of Peru, is better placed than most novelists to write about the machinations of Latin American politics. In The Feast of the Goat he offers a vivid re-creation of the Dominican Republic during the final days of General Rafael Trujillo's insidious and evil regime. Told from several viewpoints, the book has three distinctive, alternating strands. There is Urania Cabral, the daughter of Trujillo's disgraced secretary of state, who has returned to Santo Domingo after more than 30 years. Now a successful New York lawyer, Urania has never forgiven her aging and paralyzed father, Agustín, for literally sacrificing her to the carnal despot in the hope of regaining his political post. Flipping back to May of 1961, there is a group of assassins, all equally scarred by Trujillo, waiting to gun the Generalissimo down. Finally there is an astonishing portrait of Trujillo--the Goat--and his grotesque coterie. Llosa depicts Trujillo as a villain of Shakespearean proportions. He is a preening, macho dandy who equates his own virility with the nation's health. An admirer of Hitler "not for his ideas but for the way he wore a uniform" (fittingly he equips his secret police force with a fleet of black Volkswagen Beetles), Trujillo even has his own Himler in Colonel Abbes Garcia, a vicious torturer with a predilection for the occult.As the novel edges toward Trujillo's inevitable murder, Urania's story gets a bit lost in the action; the remaining narratives however, are rarely short of mesmerizing. Trujillo's death unleashes a new order, but not the one expected by the conspirators. Enslaved by the soul of the dead chief, neither they nor the Trujillo family--who embark on a hideous spree of bloody reprisals--are able to fill the void. Llosa has them all skillfully outmaneuvered by the puppet-president Joaquín Belaguer, a former poet who is the very antithesis of the machismo Goat. Savage, touching, and bleakly funny, this compelling book gives an all too human face to one of Latin America's most destructive tyrants. --Travis Elborough, Amazon.co.uk (retrieved from Amazon Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:32:22 -0500) (summary from another edition) |

Crossroads At the Way and Churchianity
by Jesse Steele
Price: Free! 38540 words.
Published on June 24, 2012. .
A young pastor explores the best path for his future ministry. His worldview is shattered by conversations with the Apostles John and Paul, as well as Christian leaders, from businessmen to pastors, from America to China. Restoring the "strategery" of the corporate Church to God's original plan in Scripture is never easy, but it's encouraging to hear from the voice of the past.
