Like a car parked persistently at the curb, no-parking apartments in Portland aren't going anywhere soon.
After two hours of testimony, much of it from neighbors rankled by recent apartment projects that don't include off-street car parking, members of the Portland Planning and Sustainability Commission said Tuesday a temporary moratorium on such projects is off the table.
The forum was a response to neighbors concerns over at least two dozen apartment complexes, ranging in size from 15 units to more than 80, proposed or built recently without off-street parking.
But a city-commissioned survey of eight recent developments -- four with parking and four without -- found most residents owned cars regardless of whether their building provided parking, including many who use alternative transportation for their daily commute. Two-thirds of car owners kept their cars parked on the street.
That has homeowners like Richard Lishner, who lives near an 81-unit building under construction on Southeast Division Street, worried about an influx of new residents and the automobiles they might bring along.
"I believe in density. I believe in sustainability," Lishner, an architect, told the commission. "The problem is you have to give us a chance. We can become Brooklyn over the next generation, but not over the next three years."
The Richmond Neighborhood Association, represented by co-chair Allen Field, proposed a minimum parking requirement for some apartment buildings, as well as incentives for developers to attract more car-free tenants.
Land-use and transportation activists, however, argued that requiring parking would make housing more expensive to build and less affordable to rent while encouraging more use of cars.
"As a poor twenty-something who doesn't own a car and probably never will, let alone a house, I'm not quite sure why I'm required to live in a building that has a rent that is more expensive because it was forced to build parking," Brown said. "Why shouldn't we allow larger (developments) and cheaper units ... that allow more people to live in their existing neighborhood?"
Portland has seen a sudden surge in new apartment projects, the product of growing demand and rising rents that leave developers confident they'll profit from new construction.
Parking has become a uniting issue for upset neighbors. However, speakers also lamented the scale, look and perceived poor quality of some developments.
Most commissioners spoke in support of the no-minimum-parking requirement that have been in place in parts of the city since the 1980s, and which has expanded since to include all commercial zones and areas within 500 feet of frequent public transit service.
The Planning and Sustainability Bureau says temporary moratorium on no-parking development, requested by some speakers, is likely prohibited by state law.
But commissioners suggested there may be room for more input from neighborhood groups on nearby development proposals. Chief Planner Joe Zehnder said bureau staff would look into options to present to the commission.
"We've heard some good ideas for minor adjustments to the code and process," said Commissioner Don Hanson. "That should be our focus."

The article reflects a correction: The Richmond Neighborhood Association, represented by co-chair Allen Field, proposed a minimum parking requirement for some apartment buildings, but no temporary moratorium. An article in Saturday's Community News section mischaracterized the resolution, and Field's title was incorrect.

At UPMC Hamot we are now utilizing local, regional, therapeutic techniques to treat liver cancer. We are trying to utilize ablative techniques such as heating the tumor to a certain point where it actually kills the tumor cells.
We also have chemoembolization where we take a small microcatheter and place it into the arteries of the liver near the tumor itself and deliver chemotherapy on small beads that both block the blood flow and allow the chemotherapy to release over time to shrink or actually kill the tumor itself. The advantages of utilizing thermal ablation techniques in patients with early stage liver cancer include a single day treatment typically, with an overnight admission to monitor the patient's symptoms. The benefit of chemoembolization is one to three single day treatments with an overnight admission for each of those treatments, again to monitor the patient's symptoms and to make them comfortable as we are giving them hydration overnight. We typically discharge the patients the following day after the procedure. In this region UPMC Hamot is the only one utilizing thermal ablative techniques or chemoembolization techniques to treat liver cancer.
At UPMC Hamot we utilize a multidisciplinary team to evaluate and determine a treatment option for patients with liver cancer. This multidisciplinary team includes oncologists, gastroenterologists, surgeons, interventional radiologists and pathologists. This team utilizes the information of the patient, determines the stage of their disease and formulates the best individual treatment plan for that patient.

Clear cell sarcomas are aggressive, rare soft tissue tumors and their classification among melanoma or sarcoma is still undetermined due to their clinical, pathologic, and molecular properties found in both types of tumors. This is a retrospective study of 52 patients with CCS seen between April 1979 and April 2005 in two institutions. The EWS-ATF-1 fusion transcript was studied in 31 patients and an activating mutation of the BRAF or NRAS gene was researched in 22 patients. 30 men and 22 women, with a mean age of 33 were studied. Forty-three tumors (82.69%) were located in the extremities, specially the foot (19 tumors). Median initial tumor size was 4.8 cm (1 to 15 cm). Necrosis involving more than 50% of the tumor cells was found in 14 cases (26.92%). High mitotic rate (>10) was found in 25 cases (48.07%). The EWS/ATF-1 translocation was found in 28 (53.84%) of 31 patients studied, and mutation of BRAF or NRAS was found in only 2 of 22 patients analyzed cases (3.84%). Among the tumor-associated parameters, only tumor size (>4 cm) emerged as a significant prognostic factor. Forty-nine patients had a localized disease at diagnosis (94.23%) and underwent surgical resection immediately (90%) or after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CT) (10%). Various CT regimens were used in 37 patients (71.15%) with no significant efficacy. The 5- and 10-year OS rates were 59% and 41%, respectively. Tumor size was the only emerging prognosis factor in our series. Complete surgical resection remains the optimal treatment for this aggressive chemoresistant tumor.
1. Introduction
Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is a rare malignant tumor that was described first by Enzinger in 1965 [1]. CCS shows a predilection for the deep soft tissues of the lower extremities close to the tendon, fascia, or aponeuroses [2]. It occurs preferentially in adolescents and young adults and is associated with a high propensity of local recurrence, regional lymph node metastases, and distant metastases [1, 2]. Because of its close clinic and histologic kinship with malignant melanoma (high frequency of lymph node metastases, presence of melanin, ultrastructural evidence of melanosomes, and immunohistochemical staining for S-100 protein and melanoma-associated antigen HMB-45), Chung and Enzinger proposed the name malignant melanoma of soft parts [2]. However, despite these similarities, CCS and melanoma should be considered 2 distinct entities. Unlike melanomas, most CCS tumors are characterized by a recurrent chromosomal translocation, t(12; 22), resulting in fusion of the EWS gene on 22q12 with the ATF1 gene on 12q13 [3]. Several fusion transcript types have been described, with a predominance of type 1 fusing exon 8 of EWS with exon 4 of ATF1 and type 2 fusing exon 7 of EWS with exon 5 of ATF1 [4]. The prevalence of t(12; 22) fusion transcripts detected by molecular techniques has been reported in only 3 small series of 10 patients, 12 patients, and 9 patient with CCS [3–5].
High incidence of activating mutations in the BRAF gene has been reported in melanoma cell lines, melanoma short-term cultures, primary and metastatic melanomas, and nevi [6]. All the mutations were detected in the kinase domain of the BRAF gene and found in exons 11 and 15. The most common mutation (V599E) is the T1796A single-base substitution in exon 15, leading to an exchange of valine for glutamic acid at position 599 [6].
This mutation was not reported in soft tissue sarcomas including a small series of 8 CCS [4]. Compared with the extensive literature regarding the histopathologic nature of the disease, very little is known about the clinical and molecular features of CCS. The main obstacle to gaining a thorough understanding of the clinical and molecular behavior of CCS is the rarity of the disease.
We describe the clinicopathological data of 52 patients with clear cell sarcoma with emphasis on prognostic factors and treatment outcomes. Mutational status on BRAF, NRAS gene, and cytogenetic study of translocation (12, 22) (q13, q12) were also studied (Table 1).
2. Patients and Methods
Between April 1979 and April 2005, 52 consecutive cases of CCS were registered at the Gustave Roussy, Villejuif (46 patients) and Bergonie, Bordeaux (6 patients) institutes.
Complete information on clinical data, treatment modalities, and outcome was reviewed in all cases to exclude an antecedent or a concurrent diagnosis of primary cutaneous melanoma. When the initial biopsies were done outside the institutes, the histopathologic diagnosis was confirmed by Gustave Roussy or Bergonie Institute expert of pathologists. Histologic criteria for the diagnosis of CCS are the intimate association of small solid aggregates of round-to-fusiform, pale-staining cells within the dense connective tissue of tendons and aponeuroses, the fine reticular stroma surrounding the cells, the relative uniformity of cells showing abundant clear cytoplasm, and scattered multinucleated giant cells. Mitotic figures are generally infrequent. A confirmation of diagnosis is obtained by immunohistochemistry with a diffuse or focal positivity for S-100 protein and melanocyte-associated antigen HMB-45, positivity for neuron-specific enolase (NSE). Thirty-one cases were examined for the presence of EWS/ATF1 transcripts by real-time PCR on paraffin-embedded tissues and frozen samples.
DNA was prepared from paraffin-embedded tissues of 22 CCS (16 cases from GRI, 6 cases from BI) carrying the t(12; 22) translocation. PCR amplification of BRAF exons 11 and 15 as well as NRAS codons 12, 13, and 61 was performed, and PCR products were sequenced.
The following demographic and treatment factors were examined for prognostic importance: patient age (≤30 years, >30 years), sex, tumor size (≤4 cm, >4 cm), location, symptoms, clinical staging, microscopic surgical margin, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, mitotic rate (>2 per 10 high power fields after examining and averaging data from 20 HPF), and presence of necrosis.
With respect to tumor location, proximal sites included the trunk and proximal extremities (upper arm and thigh), and distal sites included distal extremities (below or at the elbow and below or at the knee joint). The microscopic surgical margin was determined histologically on the resected specimens and was classified as negative (no tumor cells at the inked margin) or positive (tumor cells at the inked margin). Patients received multimodality treatment, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Wide excision of the primary tumor with a negative surgical margin was attempted whenever possible. If necessary, amputation/disarticulation was planned to achieve a negative surgical margin.
All time-to-event endpoints were computed by using the kaplan-Meier method [7].
Patients who died of causes unrelated to CCS were censored at time of death. Potential prognosis factors were identified by univariate analysis using the log-rank test. Independent prognostic factors were evaluated with Cox proportional-hazards regression using a stepwise selection procedure [8]. To arrive at a parsimonious multivariate model, covariates were selected into the model only if they contributed significantly to the fit of the model. The criterion used to select covariates into the model was the score chi-square statistic. Differences at were considered significant. Statistical analyses were performed using the StatView 5 statistical package.
3. Results
The study group comprised 30 men (57.69%) and 22 women (42.30%), and patients ranged in age from 6 years to 81 years (median, 33 years). Forty-two percent of patients were aged ≤30 years, and 94% were aged <60 years.
Forty-three tumors (82.69%) were located in the extremities, eight tumors (15.38%) were located in the trunk, and one tumor was located in the scalp. The most common tumor site was the foot (19 tumors), followed by the hand (13 tumors), and the thigh (9 tumors). Fourteen tumors (26.92%) were considered proximal, and 38 tumors (73.07%) were considered distal.
Fifty patients (96.15%) had a mass that had been enlarging slowly for periods ranging from six weeks to four years (median, 15 weeks). Pain and/or tenderness were observed in 30 patients (57.69%), and this was frequently the main reason for seeking medical advice. In two patients, acute urinary retention was the first sign of the disease. No patients had a history of melanoma or unusual pigmented skin lesions.
At presentation the malignant nature of the swelling was seldom suspected, and in thirty-six patients (69.23%), a biopsy was performed. Nevertheless in sixteen patients (30.76%), the lesion was thought to be benign on clinical grounds, and initial clinical diagnosis included epithelial cyst (7 patients) exostose (4 patients), haematoma (2 patients), and neurinoma, lipoma, and carpal tunnel syndrome (1 patient each).
Initial diagnosis was made at another institution in all cases, with incisional or excisional biopsy. All cases were reviewed by the Gustave Roussy or the Bergonie Institute soft tissue pathologists.
The tumors ranged in size from 1 cm to 15 cm (median, 4, 86 cm). The tumors measured <4 cm in 30 patients (57.69%) and between 4 cm and 15 cm in 21 patients (40.38%). Tumor size was unknown in one patient.
In all cases, the tumor cells were arranged in nests, clefts, and an alveolar pattern, separated by fibrous septa. Some dyscohesive cells were seen lying in spaces. The cells showed necrosis less than 50% in 33 patients (63.46%), more than 50% in 14 patients (26.92%), and no evidence of necrosis in 5 patients (09.61%). Of the fourteen patients who had necrosis more than 50%, ten patients died. The number of mitoses was less than 10 per high power fields (10 HPF) in 27 patients (51.92%), between 10 and 20 per 10 HPF in 21 patients (40.38%), and more than 20 per HPF in 4 patients (7.69%). Forty tumors (76.92%) were grade 2, and twelve tumors (23.07%) were grade 3 using the FNCLCC grading system.
HMB45 was diffusely positive in forty-four tumors (84.61%) and focally positive in 8 patients (15.38%). S100 protein was largely positive in forty-four patients (84.61%), focally positive in 5 cases (09.61%), and negative in 3 cases (5.76%). Melan A and MITF were expressed in many cases (76.92% and 84.6% of cases, resp.) including S100 protein-negative tumors. Vimentin could be detected in 3 cases (5.76%). None of our cases had expressions of keratin. Only one of the 22 CCS harboured a BRAF mutation (V599E); it was the well-known valine to glutamic acid change in position 599. No exon 11 mutation were found. One mutation of NRAS (codon 61) was also found with no overlap with the BRAF mutation. The EWS/ATF-1 fusion transcript was detected in 28 patients of the 31 paraffin-embedded CCS, and 3 of the 31 patients were negative. The two tumours that presented a BRAF or NRAS mutation also presented the ATF1-EWS fusion gene and were considered atypical. However, the absence of cutaneous involvement, histologic features (spindle and a few epithelioid cells arranged in a nested pattern), and immunohistochemistry (diffuse positivity for S100 protein and HMB45) strongly suggested a diagnosis of CCS.
Forty-nine patients (94.23%) presented with localized disease; forty-four patients (84.61%) of them underwent surgical resection of primary tumor. Nineteen patients (36.53%) underwent complete surgical resection with negative margins; twenty-five patients (48.07%) had residual microscopic disease and underwent adjuvant therapy especially radiotherapy.
The last five patients with localized disease received neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgical resection in order to reduce tumors size and make surgical resection possible.
Two patients (3.84%) presented with disease metastatic to lymph nodes. One patient presented with disease metastatic to both lymph nodes and lung.
Definitive surgical management included wide local excisions in 29 patients, local excision in 11 patients, radical compartment resection in 4 patients, and amputation in 3 patients. Adjuvant treatment was given to 42 patients and consisted of radiotherapy in 40 patients (76.92%) with a median of 50 grays. This radiotherapy was associated to adjuvant chemotherapy in 10 patients, and 2 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy alone.
29 patients (55, 76%) developed local recurrence. The time interval from initial treatment to local relapses ranged from 1 month to 20 years, with a median of 38 months. Local recurrence was seen in 55% of the 29 patients at 5 years and 63% at 10 years. Sixteen of these patients received additional surgical treatment and 3 had amputation. Of the other 10 patients (19.23%), they were already known to have regional lymph node metastases and/or had disseminated disease. Of the 29 patients (55, 76%) who had local recurrences, 19 (36.53%) died of the tumors, three (5.76%) are alive with disease, but only seven (13.46%) patients are alive free of disease.
No local recurrences occurred in 23 patients (44.23%) who had surgical resection with negative margins (16 patients) or with positive margins associated to adjuvant radiotherapy (7 patients). The overall survival rate without local recurrence was 30% at 5 years and 16% at 10 years.
Nineteen patients developed regional lymph node metastases at 5 years in 34% and at 10 years in 41% of them. Of these patients, six (11.53%) had lymph node metastases within less than 1 year of the followup, three patients (5.76%) between 1 and 2 years, and 10 patients (19.23%) between 2 and 7 years of the followup. Regional lymph node dissection was performed on fourteen patients and was associated with regional isolated limb perfusion with melphalan and tumor necrosis factor alpha in one case. Five patients had already distant metastases.
Thirty patients developed distant metastases: 43% of them at 5 years and 62% at 10 years. Of them, twenty-seven patients died because of disease and three are alive with disease (time of followup: 09, 63, 84 months). Distant metastases most frequently involved the lungs (27 patients), bones (2 patients), and distant lymph nodes (1 patient).
Twenty-four patients received some form of chemotherapy, and three patients had surgical treatment (accessible metastases sites and single localisation).
Various chemotherapeutic regimens for musculoskeletal sarcomas or for malignant melanoma, in adjuvant aim or in curative one, were employed, including actinomycin, Adriblastina, cyclophosphamide, carboplatine, cisplatine; dacarbazine, etoposide, fotemustine; iosfamide, interleukin 2, ifosfamide (3 g/m²) + dactinomycin (1,5 mg/m²) + vincristine (1,5 mg/m²); regional isolated limb perfusion with melphalan and tumor necrosis factor alpha, methotrexate, MAID: doxorubicine (15 mg/m²) + dacarbazine (250 mg/m²/j) + ifosfamide (2–2,85 g/m²/j), vincristine; VACA: cyclophosphamide (1,2 g/m²) + doxorubicine (30 mg/m²) + dactinomycin (0,5 mg/m²) + vincristine 1,5 mg/m²; intrferon and taxol.
In twenty-one patients, chemotherapy was discontinued, usually after three courses, because of tumor progression (18 patients) or major hematotoxicity (3 patients). Local radiotherapy for distant metastases sometimes briefly alleviated the pain and was mostly given to patients with skeletal metastases.
The overall survival rate was 59% at 5 years and 41% at 10 years (Figure 1). Median time of follow up was 120 months (11–348). On multivariate analysis, only tumor size () emerged as a significant prognostic factor (Table 2 and Figure 2).
4. Discussion
These results confirmed the known clinical features of CCS originally reported by Enzinger [1]: arising primarily in young adults, predominance in distal extremities, and presenting as a slowly enlarging mass that has been evident for several months or even years. The principal sites of the neoplasm are the extremities, especially the region of the foot and ankle. The head, neck, and trunk regions are only rarely involved. In our study, forty-three tumors (82.69%) were located in the extremities. The most common tumor site was the foot (19 tumors). Fourteen tumors (26.92%) were considered proximal, and 38 tumors (73.07%) were considered distal. Our findings also revealed several important factors that predict the clinical behavior of CCS and disclosed problems awaiting solution.
Over half of all clear cell sarcoma reported in the literature measured less than 4 cm [2], a finding in accord with our series in which 57.69% of patients had lesions that measured less or equal to 4 cm. CCS mainly afflicts young adults between the ages of 20 to 40 years [4, 5], but in rare instances it may occur in the extremes of ages. In our study, the mean age was 33 and 26 years (range 6–81 years). Although some reports have found predominance in females [6], the gender distribution between males and females is equal [2]. CCS was slightly more common in male than female patients in our series.
CCS is characterized by a recurrent chromosomal translocation t(12; 22), which results in fusion of the EWS gene on 22q with the ATF1 gene on 12q [4]. This genomic abnormality may represent a good marker for identifying these tumors. In the current study, 90.32% of the analyzed tumors (28 of 31 tumors) had this translocation.
As previous studies [4–7], our data further suggests that CCS and conventional melanoma develop through different genetic pathways. Indeed, CCS is a sarcoma subtype, and the characteristic EWS/ATF1 translocation, resulting in the chimeric protein EWS/ATF1, is responsible for the melanocytic differentiation. EWS/ATF1 can bind the transcription factor MITF which in turn can lead to melanocytic differentiation with expression of the protein involved in melanin synthesis: tyrosinase, melanin, HMB45. Because of the extensive clinical, histologic, and immunohistochemical similarities with melanoma, we decided to analyze whether CCS also has mutations in the BRAF and NRAS gene. No mutation of the BRAF nor NRAS gene was identified in 95.54% of the analyzed tumors (21 of 22 tumors). The two tumours which were found to harbor mutations in the BRAF and NRAS gene also presented the ATF1-EWS fusion gene and were considered atypical. However, the absence of cutaneous involvement, histologic features (spindle and a few epithelioid cells arranged in a nested pattern), and immunohistochemistry (diffuse positivity for S100 protein and HMB45) strongly suggested a diagnosis of CCS.
Therefore, we support the hypothesis that CCS belongs to the soft tissue sarcoma family and that the melanin synthesis is due to the specific action of the chimeric EWF/ATF1 protein via MITF activation. Molecular genetic abnormalities have been reported in 3 small series of CCS involving 10 patients, 12 patients, and 9 patients [3–5]. To our knowledge, the current study represents the largest reported series of patients with CCS with emphasis on mutational statue on BRAF, NRAS gene, and cytogenetic study of translocation (12, 22) (q13, q12).
Size constituted the only criterion that was useful as a predictor of the biologic behaviour of CCS (Table 3). In our series, on multivariate analysis, only tumor size () emerged as a significant prognostic factor.
Tumor necrosis was also a significant indicator of poor prognosis, independent of tumor size [11, 12]. Indeed, we found that the presence of necrosis more than 50% associated with worse outcome. Of fourteen patients who had necrosis more than 50%, ten patients died, but on multivariate analysis, it was not a significant prognostic factor.
Unlike most soft tissue sarcomas, CCS often metastasizes to regional lymph nodes [1, 2]. Sixteen of our patients had lymph node metastases. A marked tendency for regional lymph node metastases has been observed by other authors, Chung and Enzinger reported a 53% rate, and Eckardt et al. [18] a 33% rate of lymph node metastases. Although we found lymph node metastases to be slightly less frequent than pulmonary metastases, they tended to occur earlier in the course of the disease. The role of regional lymph node dissection in CCS has not been established to date. Some authors recommend prophylactic elective lymph node dissection, whereas others suggest lymphadenectomy only in patients who show clinical lymphadenopathy [19]. Sentinel lymph node biopsy, which has been used successfully for the staging of patients with breast cancer and melanoma, may allow early detection of lymph node metastasis in patients with CCS [19, 20]. It is quite possible that, with diligent staging using sentinel node biopsy, some patients who are believed to have localized disease in the current series will turn out not to have localized disease, and this would have a significant impact on the analyses. Further investigations of the usefulness of sentinel lymph node biopsy in CCS are warranted.
Complete excision of the primary tumors appears to be the optimal approach to treatment, a conclusion that is shared by others [15]. Of the 29 patients who had local recurrences, 19 died of the tumors and 3 are alive with disease. These results suggest that local recurrence has a negative role in the management of CCS. In our series, successful treatment was best accomplished by excision with a wide surgical margin, with or without adjuvant radiation therapy. The presence of metastases, either at initial diagnosis or later in courses of the disease, was an ominous factor; no patients survived free of disease once metastatic CCS occurred.
The overall prognosis for CCS is poor [1–3]. In most cases, the disease pursues a relentlessly progressive course and terminates in death due to wide-spread dissemination. Although rapidly fatal progression may occur, late metastases are quite common after many years of freedom from disease. In our series, the 5-year survival was 59% at 5 years and 41% at 10 years. Similar findings have been reported in the literature (Table 3), with local recurrence or metastases (or both) occurring as late as 29 years after the initial surgery [2, 15]. Thus, once a diagnosis of CCS is made, the patient is at risk for recurrent disease for many years and must be followed closely. Awareness of delayed progression is especially important considering the young age of the most patients.
The rarity of the disease makes it difficult to draw conclusive statements, but clear cell sarcoma shares many features with melanoma, including histological, immunophenotypic, ultrastructural, and similarities in gene expression patterns. However, clear cell sarcoma is genetically distinct lacking melanoma-associated BRAF mutations and instead harboring recurrent and characteristic chromosomal translocations involving the EWSR1 gene. Although the term malignant melanoma of soft parts persist, it is important that this lesion be loosely considered a MM, but rather segregated as a unique tumor of soft tissue.

Not all cabinet painting contractors are equal, and few in the Denver metro area have our level of expertise and experience when it comes to cabinet painting.
Here are some of the important ways that we set ourselves apart from other painters…
Free Estimates: We're happy to promptly provide free, written estimates on any type of cabinet painting project. The estimates are good for up to six months, they're detailed, and they're firm. If the scope of the work doesn't change, the price doesn't change. And if the scope of work does change, we'll be sure to keep you informed, to give you an adjusted estimate, and to get your consent before we proceed.
Fully Insured: We carry liability insurance, as well as Workers Comp insurance.
Mobile Workshop: On many of our cabinet painting projects, we use a 20-foot trailer, which we park in front of your home. That trailer becomes our mobile workshop, which means that we can do the cabinet painting and sanding work on-site, without having to take over your yard, garage, or other space in your home.
Artistry: We like to think of ourselves as artisans, who happen to paint cabinets. We take great pride and joy in transforming the look of your cabinets and the look of your home. Browse through our before and after photo gallery to see some examples.
Attention To Detail: At the end of each project, we do a walk-through with you, but chances are, you'll find little that needs correcting. We'll immediately touch up anything we may have missed, but typically, the punchlists on our projects are extremely short.
Free Color Consultation: If you've chosen paint colors for your cabinets, great! If not, we'd be happy to give you guidance. We take interior design seriously – so much so, that we're a member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID). We can also show you before and after photos of cabinet painting projects we've worked on in houses, townhomes, lofts, and condos in the Denver metro area.
Lifetime Touch-Ups: At the end of your cabinet painting project, our relationship doesn't end. We offer a lifetime of touch-ups on all of our interior painting work. We'll come back and do scheduled touch-ups once a year, for as long as you live in the home (up to one hour, no ladder work).
Respect: We appreciate the fact that you've invited us into your home and trusted us to paint your cabinets. We keep a clean and tidy work area, and we strive to make the painting process as easy and efficient as possible, with little disruption to your life.
To learn more about our painting company, convenient scheduling options, how to choose your contractor, or the cabinet painting process, please call (303) 222-0110, or e-mail email@example.com.
Please make note: Our painting company is located in Highlands Ranch, and we work on painting projects throughout the Denver metro area and foothills. We are also a member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID).


text: Thinking, sometimes, that landscape designers can turn to artists, much as we turn to engineers and ecologists, for specialist inspiration on projects, I went to the Frieze Art Fair this afternoon. By way of a review: I found about 2% of the exhibits wonderful and 40% of them trash. Judging from the way other visitors were pacing up and down the aisles, I suspect this opinion is common. Fortunately, we visitors were in disagreement as to which works of art fell into which category. I came away with some design ideas but, better than that, I stopped on the way home to buy a box of Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic Color. I did not bang into any celebs, unless you count the blue statue of Norman Foster. He can be seen on the video and on this webpage. I was very impressed by the high style in which most visitors were dressed – but instead of high style bikes outside there was a fleet of sinister Black Series 7 BMWs labelled 'Frieze art 2009 VIP transport'. Trust me, life is better on a Brompton.

Oh silly, stupid Grey's Anatomy. There you go making me cry again. Pfft.
After a week off for a rerun, last night's episode was all new. After the plane crash, suing the hospital, a possibly horrific buyout, and attendings quitting so they could "save" the hospital, they finally did. With the Harper Avery Foundation. With Jackson Avery at the wheel as the representative and head of the board of directors, which included Derek, Meredith, Cristina, Callie and Arizona.
Avery was clearly uncomfortable in his position throughout the entire episode, with scenes of his mother defending him and showing the utmost faith that he will pull through.
The basic premise for the episode, aside from the clear issues with doctors running the hospital rather than a traditional board, was the idea that the OR's were not staffed enough, and there were three/four transplants scheduled to happen almost at the same time. Insanity ensued. Especially with the newly adopted (but not long kept) policies from the former possible buyer, Pegasus, which everyone, including Bailey, constantly complained about. And those policies continued to have awful consequences: Meredith getting on a plane to retrieve a kidney, but finding out it was already en route to Seattle per a former idiotic Pegasus policy.
One of the big dramatic, power struggle moments was when Hunt quit. He got tired of being blamed for the plane crash, and being left out of the loop, and decided not to wait to be fired, and quit instead. Tensions were clearly high, and no one could stand the heat.
Clearly, the new board was having trouble being in charge, and needed a leader (as they have demonstrated over and over again through the previous nine seasons). Each doctor as an individual is strong and very good at leadership, but having to work together for a common goal lead to some pretty interesting power struggling, especially with Avery being younger and less experienced and forced into his role because his mother bought the hospital.
The best and most tear-inspiring moment came at the end of the episode, after Avery finally stepped up and started making the hard decisions. He figured out the OR situation on the fly, and used that confidence to boost himself in the board room. Forget all the policies, the foundation will answer to the board, not the other way around, and they should be proud to be a hospital run by doctors, rather than the traditional board.
Then Avery proposed a name change to remind them why they were there and why they went through everything. Of course, everyone agreed. It will now be the GREY SLOAN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. In honor of Lexie and Mark, who both died in the plane crash.
Not gonna lie. I totally teared up during that scene. Especially after Derek confronted Hunt to tell him he was pissed at the world… and Mark.
I expect great things, as always, with the end of this season. This show hasn't failed me yet.
What are your thoughts on this episode? How do you think the season will end?

Hollandaise Sauce
4 tbsp. water
egg yolks
3/4 cups clarified butter
Cayenne pepper to taste
Lemon juice to taste
Combine the egg yolks and water. Over a water bath and in a stainless steel bowl, cook the egg yolks slowly until they thicken and lighten in color. Slowly begin to whisk in the clarified butter. As more butter is absorbed, you may add more faster. When a good consistency, season to taste with cayenne and lemon juice. © 1984 John Albrecht, CEC

Last week, we noted that the indicators were turning bullish but that the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the CBOE's Volatility Index needed to confirm it with upside and downside breakouts, respectively.
Those were forthcoming on Friday, July 5, and the market has moved smartly higher since then. These buy signals remain in place.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — New research shows the U.S. is falling behind other countries in just about every measure of health, including how long people live. Two of the main reasons are poor diet and lack of exercise.
Researchers found heart disease is by far the leading cause of premature death, followed by lung cancer, then stroke.
In comparison to 34 similar countries, the U.S. ranks 27th for its mortality rate, life expectancy and risk of dying from dietary factors.
The study also shows Americans are living longer, an average of 78 years in 2010. But many are not in good health and are dealing with chronic disabilities like mental health disorders, substance abuse and problems like low back pain.
"The US spends the most on healthcare and actually gets rather mediocre outcomes compared to other nations," Dr. Christopher Murray, with the Institute for Health Metrics & Evaluation, said.
Researchers found diet, tobacco, obesity and high blood pressure are the top reasons why Americans are less healthy.

MSt in Greek and/or Roman History
About the course
The one year MSt is designed primarily for those students who wish to prepare for doctoral work on a shorter course. For this degree you will write a dissertation of up to 10,000 words and complete two other options.
You offer a dissertation (D) and two other options, one from options in list A and one from either B or C:
A. Classical and modern languages
These options give you the opportunity to acquire or reinforce knowledge of ancient languages or the modern languages of scholarship. Teaching is provided in the form of University classes and/or individual or small-group tutorials. These options are assessed by a 3-hour written examination;
B. Methods and techniques of scholarship
These options are usually assessed by a pair of pre-submitted essays, although the method of examination may differ.
C. Specified historical topics
All of the options in this section are examined by a pair of pre-submitted essays. For further information, please see the course handbook.
D. Dissertation
Your dissertation can be up to 10,000 words long. You decide on a subject in consultation with your supervisor. The dissertation enables you to work in greater depth on a subject that particularly interests you and is particularly valuable if you are hoping to go on to work for a doctorate.
Graduate destinations
Many MSt graduates go on to take doctorates, either in Oxford or elsewhere. Many subsequently take up university teaching or research posts after finishing their doctorates. Those who do not take doctorates go into a variety of occupations, including teaching, publishing, administration, business and other professions.

Entry requirements for entry in 2018-19
Within equal opportunities principles and legislation, applications will be assessed in the light of an applicant's ability to meet the following entry requirements:
1. Academic ability
Proven and potential academic excellence
Applicants are normally expected to be predicted or have achieved a first-class or strong upper second-class undergraduate degree with honours (or equivalent international qualifications), as a minimum, in Classics or a similar course of academic study with substantial course components in the area of ancient history.
Most successful applicants have, or go on to obtain, a first-class or high upper second-class honours undergraduate degree.
For applicants with a degree from the USA, the minimum GPA sought is 3.7 out of 4.0.
If you hold non-UK qualifications and wish to check how your qualifications match these requirements, you can contact the National Recognition Information Centre for the United Kingdom (UK NARIC).
No Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or GMAT scores are sought.
Other appropriate indicators will include:
Supporting documents
You will be required to supply supporting documents with your application, including references and an official transcript. See 'How to apply' for instructions on the documents you will need and how these will be assessed.

- Minimum and maximum limits to the numbers of students who may be admitted to Oxford's research and taught programmes.
The provision of supervision, where required, is subject to the following points:
- The allocation of graduate supervision is the responsibility of the Faculty of Classics and it is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff.
- Under exceptional circumstances a supervisor may be found outside the Faculty of Classics.
Where possible your academic supervisor will not change for the duration of your course. However, it may be necessary to assign a new academic supervisor during the course of study or before registration for reasons which might include sabbatical leave, maternity leave or change in employment.
4. Disability, health conditions and specific learning difficulties
Students are selected for admission without regard to gender, marital or civil partnership status, disability, race, nationality, ethnic origin, religion or belief, sexual orientation, age or social background.
Decisions on admission are based solely on the individual academic merits of each candidate and the application of the entry requirements appropriate to the course.
Further information on how these matters are supported during the admissions process is available in our guidance for applicants with disabilities.
5. Assessors
All recommendations to admit a student involve the judgment of at least two members of academic staff with relevant experience and expertise, and additionally must be approved by the Director of Graduate Studies or Admissions Committee (or equivalent departmental persons or bodies).
Admissions panels or committees will always include at least one member of academic staff who has undertaken appropriate training.
6. Other information

This will be assessed for understanding of problems in the area; relevant use of primary evidence; ability to construct and defend an argument; powers of analysis; and powers of expression. Surveys of published scholarship are less informative to assessors, although a judicious summary of a complex problem may be helpful.
References/letters of recommendation:
Three overall, all of which must be academic
Whilst you must register three referees, the department may start the assessment of your application if two of the three references are submitted by the course deadline and your application is otherwise complete. Please note that you may still be required to ensure your third referee supplies a reference for consideration.
All references are expected to be academic; if you believe there is good reason for you to include a professional reference, please contact the Director of Graduate Studies before you apply.
Your references will support intellectual ability, academic achievement, and motivation.

ASUS has launched the VivoTab RT, the first Windows ASUS VivoTab RT tablet, which features a mobile dock that allows the user to switch between tablet and notebook use. The ASUS VivoTab RT uses the powerful NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad core processor for a smooth and responsive use with the Windows RT OS.
Only 8.3 mm thick with a 10.1″ Corning Fit glass screen and weighing in at 525g, the ASUS VivoTab RT packs quite a punch spec-wise despite its thin design. It comes with 32 GB of onboard storage as well, along with 2 GB of DDR3L (low voltage) RAM. There's an 8 megapixel rear camera with LED flash and a 2 megapixel front camera with an LED indicator, and it is capable of shooting 1080p HD video. 3G and 4G models are available as well. ASUS VivoTab RT has a 'hidden hinge' design for a sleek, streamlined look and fully adjustable screen angle when used with the optional mobile dock.
There are the usual connectivity options, such as the 2-in-1 headphone/mic connector, micro HDMI, Bluetooth, WiFi, and a microSD card reader for even more hard drive space. The battery life also varies whether you're using it as a tablet or a notebook—you get up to 9 hours of use as a tablet, and 16 hours as a notebook, so this is ideal if you need to use it for long periods of time.
Along with Windows RT, the ASUS VivoTab RT comes preloaded with Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013 RT preview, so you can also increase your productivity on the go. The ASUS VivoTab RT is available now for Php 37,995.
