Top Reasons Why You Need To Travel
It's not all about work... Traveling teaches us the value of life, but also makes us learners and observers. It shows us how beautiful this world can be. Here are the top reasons why you should travel.
- When traveling with friends or family it creates memories for a lifetime!
- Traveling gives us the opportunity to relax, de-stress and disconnect from our regular life, which prevents burnout.
- It gives you an attitude adjustment because not only is the planning fun, but also having something to look forward to can brighten your mood.
- Vacations give you a chance to meet new people, and maybe even learn about different cultures.
- If you take a partner along, it can strengthen your bond as you two experience new things together.
- Widen your business opportunities. Speaking of moving up at the office, traveling can also increase your contacts if you keep your eyes open.

Cloud Control just released their second album, Dream Cave (Votiv), last week. From track to track the album gently unfolds like a warm blanket fresh out of the dryer. Well crafted songs at times layered with lush synths and polished vocal hamonies take you from dark and lonely to bright and fuzzy. The songs are big but not overly produced, which makes for easily listening. Cloud Control has a cinematic feel that will definitely find them on many soundtracks to come.
To help celebrate their new album, the Australian quartet performed an exclusive set for the Amoeba Green Room Sessions series. The stripped down performance was nothing short of stellar and when a band rocks in the green room, you know they've got magic! As a special treat for the fans, Amoeba and Cloud Control are offering an exclusive free download of their song "Dojo Rising" recorded live in the Hollywood green room. Download now.

Workforce planning is one of the most important issues that human resources professionals are talking about today. Still, many have not gone beyond the talking stage. The task of actually implementing workforce planning is daunting because it is so difficult to define. The following suggestions are designed to demystify what workforce planning is and to discuss the reasons why every HR department should implement such an effort.
Being prepared is better than being surprised
Workforce planning is a systematic, fully integrated organizational process that involves proactively planning ahead to avoid talent surpluses or shortages. It is based on the premise that a company can be staffed more efficiently if it forecasts its talent needs as well as the actual supply of talent that is or will be available.
If a company is more efficient, it can avoid the need for layoffs or panic hiring. By planning ahead, HR can provide managers with the right number of people, with the right skills, in the right place, and at the right time. Workforce planning might be more accurately called talent planning because it integrates the forecasting elements of each of the HR functions that relate to talent–recruiting, retention, redeployment, and leadership and employee development.
Businesspeople who just wait and then attempt to react to current events will not thrive for very long. The new standard is to provide managers with warnings and action plans to combat full-blown problems before they become more than a blip on their radar. The HR world is no different. The rate of change in the talent market is dramatic. We now know how important talent is to the success of a business. It's time to make the talent pipeline (a defined recruiting channel where a company can find qualified talent to meet its specific needs) more efficient. It's also time to manage your talent inventory (a company's current employee base) so that there isn't a shortage or a surplus.
Many of the other overhead functions–like procurement, manufacturing, and even the mailroom–have developed effective "pipelines." If HR cannot develop effective pipelines, then the alternative option is to have its entire function outsourced to an external vendor.
HR should be aware of the business cycle
HR professionals constantly complain about the painful boom-and-bust cycle of budget cuts, rapid growth, and more budget cuts. What they want is stability. Unfortunately, the way that HR people act or fail to act compounds the pain of the boom or bust phases.
Everyone knows that the business cycle has ups and downs. There are periods of growth and periods of recession; each seems to happen every few years. The surprising thing is that HR people, rather than prepare customized approaches for the different phases of the business cycle, tend to do things the same way no matter what the economic climate. HR departments have fallen into the naïve trap of operating independently of the business cycle.
The main reason that HR "suffers through" these phases is that it has no strategy or plan to participate in its company's business cycle. Even though HR managers have been through business cycles many times, they seem routinely surprised when the next phase hits them. Other functions are puzzled over HR's inability to prepare accordingly. This impression of being unprepared for the changing business cycle certainly does nothing to help HR's image and "brand."
It could be argued that, even if HR managers saw the pattern coming, they wouldn't do anything about it. Many HR professionals are short-term oriented; they react to events. Even though they call themselves strategic business partners, they tend to lack a long-term, big-picture view of HR and the business. As a result, more than 90 percent of HR departments have no independent planning and forecasting function.
To further aggravate the problem, many HR departments have no formal strategy of any kind. When you stop HR people in the same department and independently ask them to name their department's strategy, more often than not you get a blank look. Rather than seeing the big picture, HR departments tend to develop programs only when a "crisis" occurs. It is infrequent that you find a systematic strategy, a forecast, and a plan to integrate HR.
HR has two distinct reasons for planning ahead. The first reason is to lessen the impact of the boom-and-bust cycle on the management and operation of the HR department itself. The second–and perhaps more important–reason for planning ahead is that HR manages the talent pipeline for the organization. It's crucial to maintain both that pipeline and the talent "inventory" at the right levels.
Unfortunately, HR is notorious for first "over hiring" and then not having the capacity to reduce the workforce to necessary levels without inflicting major damage on employee morale.
Unfortunately, HR is notorious for first "over hiring" and then not having the capacity to reduce the workforce to necessary levels without inflicting major damage on employee morale. In contrast, during the boom phases, HR processes, which were designed for the average load, can't handle the overload requirements of high-volume hiring and retention issues. Fortunately, there is a common answer to both dilemmas: workforce planning.
The impact of good workforce planning
Good workforce planning has multiple impacts on a business. Some of most significant include:
Eliminating surprises.
- HR should limit the stressful "trauma" related to being surprised. HR should have the time to prepare processes and answers.
• Rapid talent replacement: Having the capability to rapidly figure out positions that are vacant due to sudden (or unavoidable) turnover so that production or services don't miss a beat.
Smoothing out business cycles.
- You can smooth out the cycles by developing processes that ramp up and down your talent inventory and work effectively during both good times and lean times.
• No delays: Ensuring that the company can meet production goals by employing the right number of people.
• The right skills: Ultimately increasing product-development speed because the company has the brightest people with the right skills to take products through to their launch–on time.
• Employee development: The ability to ramp up rapidly on new projects because the company has prepared and trained internal talent to meet the project needs.
Identifying problems early. If you have a smoke-detector system in place to notify managers before a talent fire gets out of hand, it will be much easier to minimize the potential damage. HR should develop a system of "alerts" to warn managers of minor problems (that they can rectify with little effort) before they turn into major problems.
- Preventing problems. Having to fix problems is expensive and painful. A superior approach is to prevent problems from ever occurring.
• Lower turnover rates: Employees are continually groomed for new opportunities that fit their career interests and capabilities. They transition easily and rapidly to them.
• Low labor cost: The capability is developed to rapidly reduce labor costs without the need for large-scale layoffs of permanent employees.
• No layoffs: Avoiding the need for layoffs by managing head count ensures that the company won't have a "surplus" of talent.
Taking advantage of opportunities.
- Given sufficient lead-time, you can gather resources and the talent necessary to take advantage of positive opportunities. When you're constantly fighting fires, you generally miss even seeing the opportunities, and there is seldom enough energy left to respond to them.
• Take advantage of opportunities: Efficient management will free up HR professionals so that they can take advantage of talent-sourcing opportunities (like weekend poaching) from a competitor as a way to find exceptional talent during tough economic times.
- Improving your image.
- Looking like you're constantly in a frantic state does nothing to inspire confidence or improve your department's image. By being well prepared for any eventuality, you build your image, your brand, and your credibility, so CFOs will be more likely to invest in you.
Key areas of workforce planning
Workforce planning is an interesting field. No one can agree on its definition, and there is even less clarity when it comes to listing its basic activities. When workforce-planning systems are designed, activities can be categorized into three basic areas of focus:
The talent forecast. Talent forecasting is a process for predicting upcoming changes in the demand for and the supply of talent. Forecasts are generally broken down into four areas:
- Estimated increases or decreases in company growth, output, and revenue.
- Estimates of the corresponding change in talent needs that comes from that growth. Estimates can include the number and type of employees as well as where and when they will be needed.
- Projections of future vacancies.
- Estimates of the internal and external availability of the talent needed to meet forecasts.
The predictions that result from the forecast have two basic purposes:
• To educate or provide a heads-up to managers and HR about what they should expect on the talent front.
• To provide specific information on the supply of and demand for talent across industries. In this way, specific action plans can be developed in the next part of the talent-planning process (talent action plans) to provide the company with an advantage over its competitors. Action plans are generally developed in each of the different forecasted areas, including recruiting, retention, redeployment, contingent workforce, leadership development, and succession planning.
Talent action plans. Talent action plans outline what specific actions all (HR or otherwise) managers will have to take in terms of talent management. Action plans are designed to attract, retain, redeploy, and develop the talent a company needs in order to meet the forecasted quantity and quality of employees in the future. The action plans designate responsibility and outline the specific steps that should be taken in order to fill the talent pipeline and maintain the talent inventory at the levels required for the firm's projected growth rate.
Each action plan has a set of goals, an individual who is responsible for making sure the plan objectives are met, a budget, a timetable, and a measurable result. Action plans can be broken down into three general activities:
- Sourcing and recruiting an adequate supply of leaders and key talent: maintaining an external recruiting capability to identify and court a supply of future leaders (and top talent in key positions) to ensure that the company's growth and profitability are not restricted by an inability to find and hire the right employees.
- Internal development and supply of qualified leaders and key talent: identifying and grooming internal talent and providing learning opportunities to increase the internal supply of future leaders (and top talent in key positions) to ensure that the company's growth and profitability are not restricted by a lack of leadership talent.
- Forecasting the gap between talent needs and its availability: providing talent, diversity, and leadership supply and needs forecasts to management so that they are aware of, and are considering solutions for, the gap between the company's overall talent needs and the identifiable supply of talent.
The integration plan. Action plans must be fully implemented if a company is going to meet its forecasted talent needs. Unfortunately, most talent plans fail or drop off when they come to the implementation phase.
Written plans can sit on shelves, whereas action plans can be independent of normal, day-to-day operations. For action plans to be effective, workforce planning and the process of being "future-focused" must be fully integrated into every aspect of workforce management.
In addition to being seamlessly integrated into every aspect of HR, workforce planning must become a way of thinking for managers as well. The integration plan has many aspects, including communication, a business case, and the identification of potential supporters and resisters. Metrics and rewards are also used to encourage action and overcome resistance.
Major components of workforce planning
There is no standard format or formula for a workforce plan. Some workforce plans contain many components, while others contain just a succession plan for senior managers. There is no one-size-fits-all model. While there are some basic components that all plans should include, there are some supplementary components that can and will work better for some companies than others. The following is a list of the most common components of a workforce plan:
- Forecasting and assessment. Estimates, for example, of the internal/external supply and demand; labor costs; company growth rates; and company revenue.
- Succession planning. Designating, for example, the progression plan for key positions.
- Leadership development. Designating high-potential employees; coaching; mentoring; rotating people into different projects.
- Recruiting. Estimating needs for head count, positions, location, timing, and more.
- Retention. Forecasting turnover rates; identifying who is at risk and how to keep them.
- Redeployment. Deciding who is eligible for redeployment, and from where to where.
- Contingent workforce. Designating the percentage of employees who will be contingent, and in what positions.
- Potential retirements. Figuring out who is eligible, when they are eligible, who will replace them, and what alternative work arrangements are available that could prevent a retirement problem.
- Performance management. Instituting "forced ranking" or identifying who should be "managed out."
- Career path. Career counseling for employees to help them move up.
- Backfills. Designating key-position backups.
- Internal placement. Developing job-posting systems for internal employees to get a leg up on new openings.
- Environmental forecast. Forecasts of industry and environmental trends, as well as a competitor assessment.
- Identifying job and competency needs. Doing a skills-and-interest inventory.
- Metrics. Identifying metrics to determine the effectiveness of workforce planning.
Look toward the future
The primary reason for doing workforce planning is economics. If done well, workforce planning will increase productivity, cut labor costs, and dramatically cut time-to-market because you'll have the right number of people, with the right skills, in the right places, at the right time.
Workforce planning works because it forces everyone to begin looking toward the future, and prevents surprises. It requires managers to plan ahead and to consider all eventualities. Effective workforce planning is an integrated talent-management system that has been underused and underappreciated.

For Everyone
CrossFit is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. While it is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide, CrossFit really is suited for everyone. We've used our same workout routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale movements; we don't change programs. The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our terrorist hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.
By design, our programming is scalable and applies equally well to all individuals regardless of age or fitness level. We vary the load and intensity, which allows us to start you at a level appropriate to your fitness ability and experience. With commitment and hard work you will achieve improved fitness with a high degree of athleticism. We take an "old-school" approach using fundamental functional movements (core to extremity) with a strong emphasis on proper technique. Our ever-changing workouts combine body-weight exercises, weightlifting, and a huge variety of high-intensity movements that combine both cardio and strength. The stimulus provided is always varied and the results are dramatic. The atmosphere is always one of support and camaraderie!
Our idea on training is typically against the norm, which makes our workouts fun and different. Workouts are most often completed within group classes, which we try to cap at a maximum of 15 clients with an average class size of 6-8. This provides you with the attention from the trainer that is necessary for your safety and success. You will be challenged both mentally and physically in your workouts but will find a great sense of camaraderie with those you are working with.
We believe in training for life and not one specific thing. Training for life means that we have to be prepared for the unknown and even unknowable. Our workouts involve exercises that mimic everyday movements so that you can become stronger and more efficient in day to day activities. Our program delivers a fitness that is broad, general, and inclusive. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist. Thousands of athletes worldwide have followed our workouts posted daily on this site and distinguished themselves in real life combat situations, the streets, the ring, stadiums, gyms and homes.
Why Does CrossFit Work?
CrossFit works because we specialize in not specializing! There are 10 General Physical Skills we promote at CrossFit. They are:
- Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance – The ability of body systems to gather, process, and deliver oxygen.
- Stamina – The ability of body systems to process, deliver, store, and utilize energy.
- Strength – The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply force.
- Flexibility – the ability to maximize the range of motion at a given joint.
- Power – The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply maximum force in minimum time.
- Speed – The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement.
- Coordination – The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular distinct movement.
- Agility – The ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to another.
- Balance – The ability to control the placement of the bodies center of gravity in relation to its support base.
- Accuracy – The ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity.
Because of the focus on each of these skills, our athletes see significant improvements in their body composition, work capacity, health markers (BP, Cholesterol, etc.), and their ability to perform tasks in sport and their daily lives.
We want to help you with reaching your potential, which is typically far more than you ever thought you could achieve. Providing you with an encouraging and friendly environment will help to build the CrossFit Community and enable more people to reach their goals whatever they may be. Anyone can excel at CrossFit. You won't have to lift weights beyond your level or perform movements beyond your skill set. We pride ourselves on working with individuals of all different types and ability levels and making them better. Sign up for your FREE Intro Class today. At CrossFit Iron Horse, you will succeed!

Fredrick Michael Baer has an envelope in his solitary cell at the Indiana State Prison here. Inside is a letter asking his lawyers to end his death penalty appeals and allow him to die.
The 41-year-old Baer has been on death row for more than eight years. Legal challenges could extend his stay for another eight years.
Besides, he said, he deserves to die for the attempted rape and knife murder of 26-year-old Cory Clark and her 4-year-old daughter on Feb. 25, 2004, inside their home near the tiny town of Lapel in central Indiana.
"[I think about it ... every day," sobbed Baer during a recent prison interview with the Anderson, Ind., Herald-Bulletin. "I'm so sorry ... so sorry."
Still, he hasn't mustered sufficient courage to send the letter terminating his appeals even though he said he doesn't fear death.
"I have the paperwork ready to be dropped in the mail any day," said Baer. "I live day by day. Death is just a transition for me at this point."
His lead lawyer during his murder trial, Jeffrey Lockwood, said death row inmates go through a roller coaster of emotions but defense attorneys advise against cutting short the appeals process.
"Life shouldn't be considered cheap. No matter who it is. That's what I believe, and I think that's how most people feel," said Lockwood, who is now a prosecutor. "There are lots of ups and downs and emotions with the victim's family, their own family. The entire process is very emotional for everybody."
Baer is confined to a small cell in a tall, brick building on the prison grounds, surrounded by barbed wire and guard towers. The prison holds 2,000 of Indiana's most henious criminals, including 10 other death row inmates. State officials estimate it costs $1 million in trial and appeal costs for a death penalty convict.
In the past 25 years, 94 criminal defendants have been sentenced to death in Indiana. Twenty have been executed. Fifty-four cases were reversed by the state or the courts. It has been four years since the last person was put to death.
Baer spoke softly, emotionally during his prison interview. Shackles and chains restrained him from ankles to wrists. Long pauses and deep breaths interrupted his comments. He choked back tears and turned away from the camera in shame and regret when talking about the murders that put him on death row.
Baer said he was working at a construction site in Anderson, Ind., on the afternoon of the murders. He said he was suffering withdrawal from methamphetamine. Anxiety hammered in his head. Sweat seeped from his skin despite the February chill. With evil intent, he said he left work early to drive someplace. Any place to rob. Any woman to rape.
He drove to Lapel and parked near two homes. He approached one house and knocked on the door. A woman answered but cautiously kept Baer from looking inside. He asked to use her phone.
"She brought me the phone, but I was trying to get in," he recalled. "So I dialed something and gave her the phone back."
Down the road, he spotted a woman moving boxes outside. It was Cory Clark, wife of John Clark and mother of Jenna and Morgan. Her husband was in Florida looking for a job, and her older daughter Morgan was at school.
Baer knocked on Clark's door.
"A little girl answered the door," Baer said. "She went to get her mother, and I asked if I could use the phone."
Cory Clark went to get her phone without noticing Baer was following her inside. She turned around and started to scream.
"I told her, 'Don't scream.' ... Everything fell apart from there," Baer said between long pauses. "I tried to rape her ... I killed her ... I cut her throat."
Baer won't talk about the murder of the four-year-old daughter. Investigators believe she ran from the room in terror, followed by Baer, who then restrained and killed her with the knife.
"They didn't deserve to die," Baer says through tears. "I don't know why I did it. But every day I've thought about it ... for the past eight years. ... All the pain I've caused. All the hurt I've caused.
"I remember the words of [Cory Clark's] mother on the witness stand: 'Why?' And I've asked that every day for the past eight years."
Baer's double murder conviction was not his first encounter with the crime. In 1983, his sister was murdered by her ex-husband, tragically culminating a turbulent and abusive relationship.
Baer said her death was a turning point, causing him to turn to drugs and to stealing to support his addiction. By his late 20s, he was continually in and out of jail.
Law enforcement officials said he eventually became a serial rapist, using the ruse of needing to use a telephone to talk his way into women's homes. After his arrest in the Cory Clark case, investigators found "trophy" items taken from the homes of his victims.
Madison County Prosecutor Rodney Cummings, who tried the Baer case, said if there's one person in Indiana who should be put to death, it's Baer.
Baer doesn't disagree.
"So many people's lives have been destroyed because of what I've done," he said. "All I can do is hope one day the family might forgive me, if that's even possible. I don't expect them to understand because I don't really understand. There's no reason for a person to do that to another person."

Jennette McCurdy Writes and Stars in New Web Series 'What's Next for Sarah'by Mandi Salerno | PopCrush
With Jennette McCurdy's hit Nickelodeon show 'Sam & Cat' now over, the 22-year-old actress is setting her sights on another project — a new web series called 'What's Next for Sarah.'
Drawing inspiration from her own life, Jennette's new role is an actress who kicked off her career on a TV show meant for teens and under and is now trying to figure out her next career move.
"I wanted 'What's Next for Sarah' to be a light-hearted call-out to some of the more absurd experiences I've faced growing up in the entertainment industry," she told the Hollywood Reporter.
So far she's published four episodes, ranging from three to six minutes each. The latest ep features a variety of caricatures of phony Hollywood industry workers, including a dishonest casting director and brown-nosing agents.
"My goal was to exaggerate some of the more classic Hollywood archetypes — the phony reporter, the insincere agent, the duplicitous casting director — and heighten them to a surreal extent that we can all laugh at," she said. "We all have those moments where we feel like the world is entirely crazy, and we're the only sane person."
Not only does Jennette take center screen for her new project, but she also plays a few big roles behind the camera, including that of writer.
"I saw 'What's Next for Sarah' as a creative opportunity for me to try my hand at more behind-the-scenes aspects of entertainment and learn more about the production process as a whole," she explained to the Hollywood Reporter.

BELMONT, N.C. - Pfeiffer University's Aaliyah Jackson put home a career high four goals during a 4-1 victory over Belmont Abbey in the 2012 Conference Carolinas women's soccer regular season finale on Saturday afternoon. The Lady Falcons move to 9-6-2 overall, 7-2-2 in Conference Carolinas, and will host a first round playoff game on Monday afternoon in the tournament's opening match as either the #3 or #4 seed. The Abbey slips to 9-9-0 overall and 8-3-0 in league play.
Belmont Abbey jumped ahead early, as sophomore forward Simone Melvin scored just 5:17 into the match as she corralled a loose ball in the Pfeiffer box, turned and fired a low, left footed shot past Britt Polly for the strike.
The Crusaders held onto their lead until the 29th minute when Jackson scored the first of her four goals, as she beat two defenders down the right side and lifted a high, arcing shot over the head of Megan Bowen that deadlocked the contest at one.
Three minutes later, Jackson struck again, as she gathered the ball at midfield and weaved through three Crusader defenders down the left side, dribbled towards the middle and was left with a one-on-one with Bowen, whom she beat with a low shot to give the Falcons the lead for good.
Pfeiffer maintained its lead through the end of the first half and Jackson scored again just six minutes into the final period, when she scored from an unmarked position from the goal mouth, which Hannah Kohls got a hand on but could not control as it deflected into the net.
20 minutes later she closed the scoring as she put away a Brittany Papaj cross, tapping the ball from five yards out for the goal.
Pfeiffer outshot the Abbey 11-8 and held a 4-2 edge in corner kicks. Polly stopped a pair of shots, while Bowen did not make a save as she played just the first half. Kohls made three saves in the second half.

Gov. Snyder proposes $52B budget
LANSING — Gov. Rick Snyder proposed today a $52 billion state budget that includes a tax break for low- to moderate-income homeowners and renters, a 6 percent funding boost for public universities that have seen their state aid slashed in the last decade and money to help Detroit pensioners at risk in the city's bankruptcy.
The Republican governor called for restoring the Homestead Property Tax Credit to more homeowners and changing how it is calculated so that qualifying residents could get a bigger break. The tax change would be retroactive to last tax year and continue into the future, with residents who apply first getting a refund check this summer.
Snyder said 1.3 million residents could benefit overall. The $103 million in tax relief initially would equate to about $79 per qualifying resident.
In 2011, Snyder and Republican lawmakers made about 400,000 households ineligible for the tax break as part of a business tax cut t hat also led to higher taxes on retirement income and less in credits for low-income earners. Democrats have pushed Snyder to reverse course on those changes, while Republicans have pushed for a permanent cut in the state income tax rate.
"This is about fueling Michigan's future in a very positive, constructive way," Snyder, who is up for re-election in November, told budget-writing lawmakers gathered in the Capitol. "Michigan is back on track."
Overall spending would increase about 2 percent from the current fiscal year, Snyder said.
He called for a 6 percent funding increase for Michigan's public universities. Their funding is down one-third from just seven years ago and was cut significantly in his first year in office.
Snyder also proposed extra money for road and bridge maintenance thanks in part to a nearly $1 billion surplus over three years, giving up - for now - on his stalled proposal to raise gasoline taxes and vehicle registration fees.
Over all spending on K-12 schools would rise about 3 percent, with the traditional per-pupil grant increasing from $83 to $111 per student.
As expected, Snyder also officially asked legislators to commit state funds to help Detroit as the bankrupt city tries to shore up pension funds that are billions in debt and prevent valuable city-owned art from being sold. About $17.5 million would come from the state in the first year of a 20-year, $350 million state commitment.
Snyder's administration said the change in the property tax credit would be more meaningful to low- to moderate-income families than other tax plans floating in the Capitol.
"We really targeted in on ... people making $60,000 or less," Snyder said. "How do we get largest return to them?"

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of etoposide, prednisone, vincristine,
cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin-rituximab (EPOCH-R) chemotherapy plus bortezomib for treating
mantle cell lymphoma, a cancer of white blood cells called lymphocytes. EPOCH-R consists of
the drugs prednisone, etoposide, doxorubicin and vincristine, with the addition of a new drug
called rituximab. In a recent study of patients with newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma, 92
percent had a complete remission of their disease after treatment with EPOCH-R. This study
will test whether adding bortezomib as "maintenance therapy" once chemotherapy is finished
will lengthen the time before the disease relapses and improve the overall cure rate.
Patients 18 years of age and older with mantle cell lymphoma may be eligible for this study.
Candidates are screened with a medical history and physical examination, blood and urine
tests, electrocardiogram, multi-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) or echocardiogram, imaging
studies and biopsy to determine the extent of disease, and possible colonoscopy.
Participants undergo treatment in three parts, as follows:
- Part 1: Bortezomib alone: Patients receive 4 doses of bortezomib over 3 weeks. The drug
is injected into a vein over about 30 seconds.
- Part 2: EPOCH-R chemotherapy plus bortezomib: This phase of treatment begins 3 to 4
weeks after completing Part 1. Treatment is given on an outpatient basis in six 3-week
cycles, with all drugs administered over the first 5 days of each cycle. Patients take
prednisone by mouth on days 1 to 5 and etoposide, doxorubicin, and vincristine as a
96-hour infusion through a vein over days 1 to 5. The infused drugs are delivered
through a lightweight, portable infusion pump. Rituximab is given by vein over several
hours on day 1 immediately before the chemotherapy infusion begins. Bortezomib is given
by vein over 30 seconds on day 1 before the rituximab and again on day 4.
Cyclophosphamide is given by vein over about 15 minutes on day 5 immediately after the
chemotherapy infusion is completed. Patients are taught how to self inject granulocyte
colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), a drug that helps boost white cell counts after
chemotherapy. They inject the drug under the skin (like an insulin shot) for 10 days of
each cycle beginning day 6. Patients also take an antibiotic to help prevent infection
during chemotherapy.
- Part 3: Bortezomib alone: After completing EPOCH-R-B therapy, patients are randomly
assigned to receive or not to receive bortezomib alone. The drug is given in 2 doses
over 5 days, with a break of 16 days before the next dose. These 3-week cycles continue
for up to 18 months or until the disease comes back or worsens. Patients who are
assigned to the group that does not receive bortezomib will be offered the drug if their
disease relapses.
During therapy, patients have tests performed on their bone marrow, tumor tissue, blood or
other fluids to look at different genes and proteins that may be involved in the development
of their lymphoma or the reaction of the immune system. A tissue biopsy is done before
treatment begins and a day after treatment starts. Disease progress is followed with computed
tomography (CT) scans and blood tests. When treatment is completed, patients whose cancer has
disappeared are scheduled for periodic follow-up examinations and tests. Those whose disease
remains or recurs may be offered participation in another protocol if an appropriate one is
available or are returned to the care of their local physician.
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) presents a clinical challenge because it is aggressive and
incurable with chemotherapy. Therefore novel treatment approaches are needed.
MCL has overexpression of NF-kappa B (NF-kappa B), a transcription factor that affects cell
growth and survival, and cyclin D1 that affects cell cycle and growth. These proteins appear
to be involved in the pathogenesis of MCL.
Bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor that inhibits NF-kappa B and cyclin D1, has demonstrated
activity in patients with relapsed or refractory MCL.
Dose-adjusted-etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin-rituximab
(EPOCH-R) has excellent activity in MCL, with a complete response (CR) rate of 92%, but
patients eventually relapse.
Determine the progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of dose-adjusted
etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide with vincristine, prednisone, and
rituximab,bortezomib (DA-EPOCH-RB) followed by bortezomib maintenance versus observation.
Diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma.
No prior treatment except for local radiation or a short course of steroids for control of
Age greater than or equal to 18 years old.
Adequate major organ function unless impairment is due to lymphoma.
Study Design:
To assess the clinical activity and biological effects of bortezomib, patients will initially
receive one cycle of bortezomib alone with sequential tumor biopsies for microarray analysis.
All patients will then receive Dose-adjusted (DA)-EPOCH-RB for 6 cycles, and if they have at
least a PR, this will be followed by randomization to either immediate bortezomib maintenance
x 18 months, or to observation, followed by bortezomib if progression occurs. This study has
as a primary goal, to describe progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival of early
bortezomib maintenance versus observation following induction with bortezomib followed by
DA-EPOCH-RB. Important secondary goals are to assess response and toxicity to bortezomib
alone or DA-EPOCH-RB, to evaluate time to progression after receiving bortezomib following
progression on an observation arm, and to assess the biological effects of bortezomib on
untreated MCL.
Diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma (confirmed at National Cancer Institute (NCI)). All
variants are eligible.
Age greater than or equal to 18 years.
No prior treatment except for local radiation or a short course of steroids for control of
All stages of disease.
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status less than or equal to 3.
Adequate major organ function (serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 mg/dl or
creatinine clearance greater than 50 ml/min; bilirubin less than 2 mg/dl (total) except
less than 5 mg/dl in patients with Gilbert's syndrome as defined by greater than 80%
unconjugated; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than 1000 and platelets greater than
75,000) unless impairment due to organ involvement by lymphoma.

Forty Under 40
Judy Nystrom, 39
President, Owner, Legacy Staffing LLC
Judy Nystrom says the temporary staffing business is in her blood. She knew little about it when she interviewed with staffing giant Olsten Corp. on the campus of her alma mater, Bowling Green State University, in 1994. But she immersed herself in it quickly, became an Olsten regional manager for five years and later spent seven years at Snider-Blake Personnel, both positions based in Cleveland.
In 2007, Ms. Nystrom had a bigger idea and founded Legacy Staffing, her staffing business based in Garfield Heights. Twenty months later, she formed another company, Legacy MedStaff, which focuses on the health care field.
"I had a strong desire to service clients in a better way and better partner with them," said Ms. Nystrom, 39.
Now, she's continuously on the go, moving among the company's four Northeast Ohio offices, one in Columbus and, less often, to offices in Georgia, Tennessee and Michigan.
"Friends say I'm the crazy staffing girl who's been doing it for years and years," she says with a laugh. "But if you love it and excel at it, it's great work."
Ms. Nystrom said the business has evolved from a strict formula of providing clients with temporary workers to one in which Legacy is a true adviser to clients. Instead of simply finding a worker, Ms. Nystrom and her staff of 40 — up from, well, one in 2007 — analyzes clients' operations to spot inefficiencies that can be solved better.
That process might involve altering a client's work schedule to minimize overtime, or analyzing safety issues to avoid losing employees to injuries.
Ms. Nystrom said 2011 has been Legacy's busiest year, as clients are faring better and thus need more assistance from her company. MedStaff has helped immensely, she said, because of health care needs remaining relatively steady through the recession.
Advance Payroll Inc. in Beachwood provides financing and back-office services, such as payroll and billing, to staffing agencies, and CEO Joel Adelman said it was a no-brainer to do business with Legacy — because of Ms. Nystrom. Mr. Adelman said Advance Payroll sees over $1 billion in transactions a year, and Ms. Nystrom and her company stand out in a crowded marketplace.
"Judy is at the top of the list in terms of her entrepreneurial drive," Mr. Adelman said. "She's committed and persistent, driven like we rarely see in entrepreneurs."

Pretty Entrance With Green Grass And Potted Plants
Parents should realize that children's rooms can grow with the children. With fun touches lively colors, theme-oriented children's furniture, and playful children's bedding, makes kid's rooms exciting spaces to enhance. Plan on reinventing your kidsis room at least three times during their growing periods: the infant to toddler move, the initial school years, and adolescent years. Planning cautiously and building wise furniture choices can decrease the degree and costs related to the predictable decorating.
The design expert in the house is the child; they're the ones that will give you the inspiration. Kid involvement is very important when selecting the color pallet, themes, and touches. From ages 3 on, the child can assist in selecting paints, wallcoverings and textiles, don't be lured into over-decorating. Learn to say no diplomatically, if for example the kid selects a room color that's out of the question, bargain, and use it in the accents they're easy to change.
Select durable and easy to care for rather than style. Plastics, painted surfaces and laminates are perfect. Look for convertible cribs that become toddler beds, boxes that increase as changing platforms, these can be used for years to come and storage modules that are adjustable. When choosing the first big-boy or big-girl bed, full size should be the bed of preference. The full size bed allows the guardian room for those scary nights and a place to sit while reading bed time stories. When selecting major children's furniture, themes should be avoided, the Disney queen bed nowadays, may not be so popular tomorrow, as in teen room furniture include Pretty Entrance With Green Grass And Potted Plants.
Picture of Pretty Entrance With Green Grass And Potted Plants is awesome for your furniture design idea at home. The image Resolution 1600 x 1103 px and the image size only 253 kb. Our Readers select this photographs as favourite in Furniture Idea Category.

Halloween meant to be spooky? Absolutely. But too often "boo" gives way to "boo hoo," as trick-or-treaters sustain cuts, scrapes, and other injuries big and small.
Here are 10 dumb ways parents can wind up in the emergency room with an injured child on Oct. 31...
Credit: istockphoto
Why insist that kids wear bright, reflective clothing on Halloween? Because there are cars around, and kids aren't always so good about keeping out of their way. That's why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends adding reflective tape or striping to costumes and candy bags.
What's more, the academy says shoes worn on Halloween should fit well and that costumes should be "short enough to prevent tripping, entanglement, or contact with flame." When buying a costume, mask, beard, or wig, look for a label reading "flame resistant," says the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Decorative contacts can cause pain, inflammation, and serious eye infections - and possibly permanent vision loss. Don't be snookered into believing claims like "one size fits all" or "no need to see an eye specialist," says the American Academy of Pediatricians.

Letting kids wield the knife boosts their self-esteem and eye-hand coordination, right? Maybe so. But it also raises the risk that someone is going to get a nasty cut. A 2006 study published in the journal Pediatrics showed that Halloween is among the top three of all holidays for ER visits - and finger/hand injuries, many from cuts, accounted for 17.6 percent of all injuries.
"In general, children should not carve pumpkins," the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons said in a written statement - unless it's with carving devices designed especially for kids.
Razor blades in apples are so rare that it makes no sense to waste time checking the treats kids bring home, right? Wrong. The American Academy of Pediatricians acknowledges that tampering is rare but says it's best for a responsible adult should closely examine all treats trick-or-treaters bring home - and discard spoiled, unwrapped, or suspicious items. The CDC recommends avoiding homemade treats made by strangers.
Want to start a fire on Halloween? Use an open flame to illuminate your pumpkin, and stick the pumpkin someplace wobbly and near curtains. Then leave it unattended. Actually, the American Academy of Pediatrics says to consider lighting your pumpkin with a flashlight or glow stick. If you insist on a candle, use a votive - and display it on a sturdy table away from flammable objects.

Some parents wind up in the ER on Halloween because they fail to supervise trick-or-treaters as they make their rounds. A parent or other responsible adult should always accompany young kids, says the American Academy of Pediatrics. If older children are going alone, it's best to review the route with them beforehand to make sure it is acceptable to you. Be sure to agree on a time by which they'll return home.
Accompanied or unaccompanied, kids should stick together in a group, stay on sidewalks and avoid crossing yards or going down alleys, and cross streets only at crosswalks. Going inside a stranger's home to accept a treat? Forgeddaboudit.

The CDC recommends holding a flashlight while trick-or-treating - to make it easier to see and be seen. And, says the CDC, it's best to walk rather than run from house to house - no matter how good the visibility, and no matter how excited kids are.
Credit: Flickr/Wesley Fryer
Kid's costume calls for a sword or knife? The CDC recommends swords and knives be short, soft, and flexible.
Halloween make-up can cause skin and eye irritation. The CDC recommends testing it in a small area first - and removing it before bedtime.
Darkness adds to the spookiness, so it's best to keep lights out in your yard and on your porch. That's what some people seem to think. In fact, darkness can cause trick-or-treaters to trip over obstacles and hurt themselves. The American Academy of Pediatricians urges parents to check outdoor lights and places burned-out bulbs - and remove from the porch and front yard garden hoses, toys, bikes, lawn decorations, and any other items that might post a tripping hazard.
Keeping your dog indoors or in an outdoor pen means he/she is less likely to jump up on or bite an unsuspecting trick-or-treater. Where's the fun in that?
Make-up isn't the only Halloween accoutrement that can cause allergies. The American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology warns against allergens gummy bears and other seemingly innocent treats and along with nickel in belt buckles and other costume accessories. Thinking of renting a fog machine? Be aware that fog - real or man-made - can trigger asthma in some people.

You have forgotten the pano head - it was to be an NN4 with R-D16 and nadir adapter I believe, and possibly a camera-specific Arca Swiss compatible QR.

Artisan S. wrote:>You NEED a "robotic" head writing xml files<
Yeps Klaus, but the .xml can be faked if you know how you shot the pano manually (degrees per step horizontal, degrees per step vertical, number of shots horizontal, number of shots vertical and of cause the most important variable the focal lengt used, and last but not least the steps HDR that were used)......but that requires some knowledge about .xml files and the way Kolor interprets them and is far from easy, nor is shooting a 30.000 x 24.000 picture using a manual head a comfortable affair (very, very exhausting work due to the concentration involved). So I'm currently writing (wenn die Affenhitze nachlest ) a .xml part in my code and I'm building my own head (with a little help in the hardware department).
Artisan S. wrote:2) You NEED real good lenses - i suggest primes, no zooms.
3) You NEED a VERY good tripod - we´re entering a region *starting* from about 300.- here.
In fact Klaus I guess you use manual focus lenses quite often (Nikon on Canon as I recall). That sure saves money since good quality manual glass can be bought a rock bottom prices.
Artisan S. wrote:About the FF-ness....well some gigapans are made with 7D's and as memory serves the London 360 pano is made with this APS-H camera.....simply because a smaller sensor "extends" the lenses (and also extends the DOF) which makes gear lighter at the same magnification.
But FF sensors have something ahead, a bit more bitdepth which gives much nicer color rendition.

The Adventure of Camping - Gan Israel Style
Camp provides a truly enriching experience that cannot be duplicated in any other environment or under any other circumstance. Camp is a child-oriented world. A camper is at leisure to daydream in a fashion not permitted by the pressures of the tightly scheduled adult-run world of home and school. This daydream may translate itself into a good story around a campfire, or be acted out in an impromptu skit. A craving for adventure may be fulfilled by the excitement of a canoe trip or camping out under the stars. With adults in the background primarily to ensure health and safety, the child gains the experience of living within a small "community" of his or her peers.
A child at Gan Israel learns to play and compete within carefully designed limits and recognizes that certain types of competition can be a creative force adding to the enjoyment of the game. Then, the valid questions become, "did I try?", "did I learn?, and "did I have fun?" rather than, "did I win?"
The foundation of Gan Israel is a tangible sense of 'Ahavat Yisrael' — love of a fellow Jew, regardless of background, affiliation, or level of Jewish knowledge. Campers experience pride in their Jewish heritage, gain crucial skills for living, and make friendships that can last a lifetime. They also have so much fun that they don't even realize how much they're learning!
This year, why not give your child the experience of Summer, Gan Israel Style!

ATHENS (Reuters) - Greek riot police stormed a subway train depot in Athens early on Friday to disperse striking subway staff who defied a government order to return to work for a ninth consecutive day, a police official said.
Scuffles broke out when police forced their way through a metal gate shortly after 4 a.m. (0200 GMT) and detained at least 10 workers, the official said on condition of anonymity. One woman was taken to hospital with light injuries, he added.
The escalating standoff has turned into the latest test for Greece's fragile coalition as it faces down the unions to implement austerity measures demanded by foreign lenders as the price for bailout funds.
Subway workers have ignored the order, issued under emergency legislation by the conservative-led government on Thursday, paralyzing the Athens subway in a week-long walkout.
About 90 workers stayed at the train depot overnight in protest. The subway workers, who have defied a court order to return to work, oppose being included in a unified wage scheme for public sector workers that would slash their salaries.
Bus and railway workers are joining the walkout on Friday in solidarity.
Under the emergency law, workers can face arrest and up to five years in jail. No arrests have been made so far, the official said.

Hi folks. On January 5, 2012, I took the Twenty Song Challenge. Ever heard of it? It's where you try to write, record and mix 20 songs in one day, from 8am-8pm. You play the game with a small group of friends — all working individually — then get together at 8:30pm to order takeout and listen to everything you each did that day. It's the most fun I've ever had being at my wits' end. The Jan 5 crew consisted of Matt Dabrowiak, Nick Jaina, Dave Depper, and myself. If you know those other guys, beg them to hear their results, because the music they came up with is incredible.
It's my second attempt at The Challenge. A couple years ago, I made it to like 13 songs before promptly passing out. This time, I set out to make 20 little parts that were supposed to play together as one long seamless piece. Of course, I ran out of time and had to make all sorts of irrational mixing/lyrical decisions to finish the darn thing. But whatever. Chinese Democracy, it's not (and I don't know if that's a good or bad thing).
Anyway, I decided to release the resulting piece for free here as my 11th Lackthereøf album, in hopes that it will inspire you to take the Twenty Song Challenge yourselves. It's a great exercise to cleanse the ol' palette and to feel like you've accomplished something in a day, even if you're just recording twenty different farts with your fancy iPhone recording app. There are no rules in Challenge Club. Just make sure the flatulence is tonally diverse!
Speaking of hot air, Menomena is in the final two weeks of recording our fifth record. More news on that front coming soon, I hope. In the meantime, check out the music below, complete with front and back covers. Have fun!
Love, Danny

28 This is the first of a series of regional guides to good food, based on a survey of Haskins & Sells people who know the restaurants in the cities where they practice. In the coming summer vacation period, many of us will be journeying to places we do not know well. Whatever our destination, the question often comes up either on the road or while spending a day in a town away from home; Where shall we go for lunch? And for dinner? For those who are traveling in the vicinity of Boston, perhaps on the way to a child's summer camp, or to visit a college, or en route to Nova Scotia-two partners in Boston introduce readers of H&S Reports to some of their favorite restaurants in this transportation hub of the Northeast. For visitors in the Providence region, a stepping-off point for vacationers going to Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket and Newport, our Providence Office people share their knowledge on dining out. In and Around Boston This city abounds with great restaurants. For authentic nautical atmosphere and good food, partners Del Edens and Bill Wright head the list with Anthony's Pier Four (140 Northern Avenue) on the waterfront about a mile from the H&S office. This may be the most popular single restaurant in the United States, as gauged by its traffic and volume, despite its being a bit out of the way. There are no reservations, but Boston people are willing to wait for a table. Dini's (94 Tremont Street, between Park Street Church and King's Chapel), another place that is always busy, has "the best scrod in Boston," according to our Boston guides, and the tariff is moderate. Durgin-Park (30 North Market Street) in the wholesale market district has a democratic air with truck drivers sitting elbow to elbow with businessmen and professors at the same long tables. Red checked tablecloths and bare light bulbs hanging on cords from the ceiling add to the casual, friendly feeling of this upstairs restaurant, where the servings are gigantic and the matronly waitresses call you"dear.' Several restaurants offer diners spectacular views of this harbor city, From one, Stouffer's Top of the Hub on the fifty-second floor of the Prudential Tower, visitors can see the entire metropolitan area. On a clear day the view extends well beyond Boston Harbor out into Massachusetts Bay; by night the city lights form an intricate display like a thousand sparkling jewels, and planes can be spotted far out over the water as they approach Logan International Airport. For that special occasion, Del Edens recommends the elegant, expensive main dining room at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel (15 Arlington Street). "Laureine and I have been there for birthdays and anniversaries, and it was very fine," Del says. "It is a hotel with a great deal of tradition. Dining at the Ritz is the ultimate, or is considered to be the ultimate, in Boston." One of the oldest restaurants in the city is the Locke-Ober Cafe on Winter Place, just off Winter Street, near the Boston Common and only a short walk from the H&S Boston Office. According to Bill Wright, a Bostonian from boyhood, this place, established in 1875, offers "probably the best food in the city. There is a 'men only' room downstairs, ladies' dining room on the main floor and private rooms upstairs." Although the prices are high, the cuisine is exceptional with Lobster Savannah the specialty of the house. The Ward 8 cocktail is said to have originated here and, according to our Boston guides, is still the best. Reservations are essential, because the restaurant isn't large, The towns surrounding Boston also promise some fine cuisine. One spot, about 35 minutes west of Boston on the way to Worcester, is the historic Wayside Inn in South Sudbury, immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in his book of poems, Tales of a Wayside Inn. Several original rooms have been kept as a museum and the inn conducts guided A Gastronomic

Even in a drought, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is getting ready for the next flood threat on the American river.
Construction workers poured the last bit of concrete to top off the Auxiliary Dam at Folsom Lake this morning.
Katie Huff with the Corps says the dam is 113 feet high, which is much lower than Folsom Dam: "The main dam is 50-feet higher in elevation. So, we have to wait for the reservoir to be at a certain height before you can release enough water before you start over-tapping the main dam. So, the reason the auxiliary spillway was chosen because these gates are 50 feet lower, meaning that we can release water from a larger storm event earlier and much more safely than we could at the main dam."
Yesterday, crews began blasting and excavating the dirt and rock area between the lake and the auxiliary dam. The Army Corps says that work will last until 2015.

Ana's Mexican Bakery delivers the goods … and they are very good
Whether you call the bakery Ana's, or Anna's as many do, the food served there will win you over immediately. Albaro Rafael Reyes, the owner and manager of the shop at 2570 Calder Ave. in Beaumont, says the correct name is Ana's but that some advertising was done, along with his sign out front, citing the name as "Anna."
"The bakery is named for my wife, Ana Garcia, and she spells her name with only one 'n.' We must get this corrected," he said Ana is the chief baker for both the new shop in Beaumont and the 11-year-old location at 3426 Gulfway Drive in Port Arthur.
It doesn't seem to matter what name you call the bakery — customers are flocking there for the fresh baked delights offered seven days a week. When a customer walks into the brightly lit and well-decorated shop, they are handed a large, metal tray and a pair of tongs and are invited to shop along the walls and from the huge baskets. Part of the fun in buying there is the choosing. It often takes families and other groups longer to make their purchase because they all want their favorite from the goodies lined up and waiting.
Victor Hernandez was an exception to the shopping rule. He walked right in, was handed his tray and tongs, and marched over to his personal favorites, the orejas ears, and filled a big box. "We used to have to drive all the way to Port Arthur to get these," said Hernandez, a long time customer of Ana's. "But now, we can come here to the new Beaumont shop to get our fill." The orejas ears were a big, flat, flakey concoction with swirls rather looking somewhat like an ear to the casual observer. "I come about twice a week," he laughed. "I am very happy that Al decided to open the new shop here about a month ago. I have gone to Port Arthur for years to eat their baked goods."
The menu features 72 different items to choose from along with drinks, juices and colas. One of the best selling items always is the conchas or egg bread, which fills big baskets in the center of the bakery. Every customer has his or her own favorite (or more than one) and many come with a purpose — to get just what they want.
Reyes said he and his wife moved to our area about 11 years ago from Mexico and started the first shop in Port Arthur, working hard and putting in long hours to see that it was successful. "We wanted to open this new shop in Beaumont, but we had to work out all of the details and now, here it is. We are happy to offer our goods to the people of this area and are very pleased at our reception so far." The shop also has a lovely patio out back, where even on a cool Southeast Texas day, families were seen enjoying the scenery and especially the two water fountains that offer such a serene and inviting landscape. "The patio is available for parties and gatherings," said Reyes.
Friends from an Old Town neighborhood in Beaumont, calling themselves "The Hood Ornaments," gathered for a time of enjoyment during the holiday season, and each had ordered a different sandwich or burrito with all being in agreement that the food and atmosphere was extremely good and pleasant. "We love having this new shop here on Calder," said Ellen McIntosh. "Our big question is what to try next."
The more than 2,500-square-foot bakery is open from 7 a.m. until 9 p.m. each day with fresh goods filling the big shelves daily. To pre-order for larger quantities, call (409) 212-8450.
