Patients were able to stick with treatment longer because their side effects were quickly addressed, he said.
* Adults age younger than 50 years with colorectal bleeding symptoms should undergo colonoscopy or an evaluation sufficient to determine a bleeding cause, initiate treatment and complete follow-up to determine resolution of bleeding.
At the age of 24, after two surgeries and two aggressive rounds of chemotherapy failed to cure me, my oncologist sent me home to die. When I was first diagnosed with colon cancer in 2013, I'd never even heard the word immunotherapy. ....Because I'm one of the very few lucky ones who looked into the abyss and made it out on the other side, I feel it is my duty to speak up and share some of the critical things that I have learned in what is now a new era in cancer care. Because a disease that should have killed me instead launched my career in patient advocacy.
5. Clinical trials are not a last-resort option.
The lines of treatment are rapidly changing, and, more often than not, getting access to cutting-edge treatments entails enrolling in a clinical trial. There's an unfortunate misconception that clinical trials are reserved for those who have exhausted all other options. In reality, trials can actually offer access to the most individualized cancer treatment. And in fact, immunotherapy is more and more becoming the first line of treatment - and even being used before surgery to prevent relapses.
And just as individual patients can't tackle their disease by themselves, we all ultimately must help one another by sharing and participating in clinical trials. Only 4 percent of cancer patients are currently enrolled in studies. Explore trials at cancer centers with a lot of experience in the type of therapy being tested. See if you have options outside of what has been standard of care for 70-plus years.
In the doctor-patient relationship, patients must understand that they are partners of science and as big a part of the cure as doctors. Without us, and our willingness to participate, medical advances would not exist. I will always feel a tremendous sense of pride for participating in a study that will save many thousands of people's lives.

Jackson School Bus Crash Probed
Jackson students headed home on a township school bus are shaken but unhurt after a crash involving a sport-utility vehicle this afternoon.
A source inside the district tells us that it happened just before 3 PM on Diamond Road. Neither the students nor the bus driver were hurt, but that the SUV driver sustained serious injuries.
District spokesperson Alison Erwin says that most of the children in grades 6 through 8 from Carl W. Goetz Middle School were retrieved by their parents, but a handful were delivered by a second bus.
Early reports indicate that the SUV collided with the rear of the bus and that the driver needed extrication.

So the Pirates are nearing a two-year $11MM deal with Clint Barmes. That basically pays him to be a league-average shortstop over the next two years, which isn't so bad. As @JunkStats points out, Barmes has averaged roughly 2 WAR/season since 2008, and it's not like he's that old. He's 32. Had the Giants signed him for this amount, I think I would have been content. Especially considering that a) the John McDonalds and Willie Bloomquists of the world have gotten pretty friendly deals this offseason, and b) the Giants paid Miguel Tejada $6.5MM last offseason.
The Barmes deal has sparked an interesting debate: Ronny Cedeno v. Clint Barmes. Cedeno had a $3MM club option for 2012, but the Pirates chose not to pick it up — and to instead pay the $200K buyout. This is after Cedeno produced roughly 1.5 WAR this season (regardless of your metric of choice). That's nearly league-average production, and worth about $6-7MM on the open market. In fact, there are those that believe that Cedeno (contract aside) is a better shortstop than Barmes.
Now I'm not one of those people. Cedeno's a career .246/.286/.353 (63 wRC+) hitter, whereas Barmes is a career .252/.302/.401 (74 wRC+) hitter. Bill James projects the two for nearly a twenty-point difference in weighted on-base average. The defense is a little harder to measure, given how unreliable defensive metrics tend to be, but I'm inclined to believe that Barmes is also the better defender of the two. Go ahead and peruse their defensive ratings if you'd like (Barmes, Cedeno).
In any event, Cedeno's not a worthless shortstop. He can't hit, but for an above-average defensive shortstop, he's not that bad. The Pirates very well may have set the market for Cedeno by declining his option, and if he's getting a one-year $2MM deal this offseason…that's pretty enticing. It kills me to say this — it honestly does. This is a guy that has batted ninth (behind the pitcher) many times in his career.
Yet at the same time, the Giants, as a team, didn't hit much better than Cedeno in 2011. They're out on Jose Reyes and Jimmy Rollins, and there are very few acceptable options left. They're not going to spend big on shortstop, so their best route is to buy low. In this case, Cedeno appears to be a solid stopgap. He's slightly better than Brandon Crawford, but more importantly, he'd allow Crawford to develop his hitting in Triple-A this season.
Yes, I'm seriously advocating for the Giants to sign Ronny Cedeno.

Sports Program Helps Children Overcome Despair of Poverty
Parvati Pujari, 21, is training to be a football coach. When she is not playing football, Parvati works at Magic Bus as a mentor. She is also completing a Bachelor's degree in Commerce from the Mumbai University.
What makes all this special is that Parvati is from one of Mumbai's 4 million extremely poor families who live on less than INR 592 – (USD 11.9) per person, per month. Her parents were constructions workers in Mumbai, helping build a five star Mall in central Mumbai. After construction finished, they moved into one 8 x 12 foot temporary room which floods every monsoon. "Our living condition is such that we get to see all seasons at close quarters," says Parvati. Parvati's family consists of nine people, making it difficult to make sure everyone gets enough to eat. "We mostly make do with a khichdi [rice and lentils]," she says.
What changed for Parvati was her belief in her own power to change her own – and her family's – future by making sure she used every opportunity that was available in the system, but not used. Parvati completed school even as her girl friends were married off as children. While her peers were struggling with premature pregnancies and its attendant morbidity, Parvati was taking activity-and sport-based coaching classes for younger children, taking a job, working on her football course, and traveling abroad to raise funds for Magic Bus.
In the twelve years she has spent with Magic Bus, Parvati has demonstrated what is possible, even for the very poor to do to break out of poverty.

I set up a dummy computer to find vulnerabilities in so I can learn how to understand half the stuff that posted on this site- When I was looking at it, I found ports 139 and 135 open. I know 139 is shared stuff, and I know how to disable that. I searched around about 135, and found the name epmap a lot. It looks like epmap is bad, and everyone is in a big hurry to disable it, but I've never heard of it nor do I know how to disable it myself. If someone could just give me a quick summary, link or a couple keywords to google that would be great.
In short, I dont really need information about exploiting it, I just want to know whats so bad about 135 and what epmap is.

Eisriesenwelt – Giant Ice World – GC108G08 – GEOCACHE OF THE WEEK – September 27, 2012
Pack warm clothes and get ready to climb a lot of stairs, because we're headed into the tunnels of an ice cave to log this Geocache of the Week.
Eisriesenwelt – Giant Ice World (GC108G08) is a difficulty 2, terrain 3.5 EarthCache located 25 miles (40km) south of Salzburg, Austria.
The ice cave is only accessible six months out of the year. Yet, more than 600 geocachers from 56 countries have managed to log this cache and share over 850 incredible pictures.
As the name suggests, Eisriesenwelt – Giant Ice World is gigantic. In fact, it is the largest ice cave in the world. The cave is millions of years old and extends more than 26 miles (42km).
This EarthCache was created by Mountain Ninja in January of 2008 and quickly became one of the most "Favorited" caches in Austria. Its already racked up 116 Favorite Points. Mountain Ninja owns a number of EarthCaches across Austria, all worth exploring.
As one geocacher put it, "This place is quite the gem! The cave is definitely worth seeing and experiencing. This huge cave is filled with beautiful ice sculptures, ice tunnels, and frozen lakes. This is my second EarthCache, created by Mountain Ninja. I also took the liberty of exploring the Saltmine Dürrenberg during my visit to Austria. Great way to explore the country and do what I love – geocaching!"
Continue to explore some of the most engaging geocaches around the globe. Check out all the Geocaches of the Week on the Latitude 47 blog or view the Bookmark List on Geocaching.com.

Vegetarian Chicken Parmesan Recipes
Breaded Tofu: Tofu Parmesan Recipe
Tofu parmigiana is one of the many variations on meat dishes I make, so I'm able to share a similar meal with my husband Lulu, who is a vegetarian. The last time I prepared this dish was to celebrate our wedding anniversary with a romantic dinner. It was a perfect date-night menu: I had chicken and he had tofu.
For this version, I breaded firm tofu with Japanese bread crumbs (panko). First, I flavored the panko with dried oregano and garlic powder. Then, I pan-fried the panko-dredged tofu, layered it with a creamy tomato sauce and a few slices of fresh mozzarella cheese and topped it all with Parmesan cheese. The cheese finished melting in the oven, and with a garnish of sweet basil the dish was complete. I served it with a side of linguine pasta. I guarantee you this dish is as delicious as the meat version!
Full Recipe...

Bryanna Clark Grogan's Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).

A breakfast burrito at The Naam with the new Daiya vegan cheese melted on top-- yum!
This is going to be a photo blog today, as I just got back from 3 days in Vancouver and am playing catch-up! Apart from visiting with friends and family, and enjoying the balmy weather, we spent time eating exotic foods and shopping for foods and kitchen implements I couldn't find on the Island (Vancouver island, that is).
I particularly wanted to taste the newest vegan cheese, Daiya, because I had heard it tasted good and melted beautifully. It is not available in retail yet, but will be soon, I understand. So far, though, you can only taste it in restaurants and, even though it is made in the Vancouver area, it is only available in one Vancouver, BC restaurant, The Naam. (See where to enjoy Daiya cheese here. Contact them to let them know you are waiting for it!) So, I made my companions (DH, my cousin Chris, my stepsons Laurence and Sean, and Laurie's girlfriend Meghan) go for Saturday brunch at the The Naam, a vegetarian restaurant. Now, the Naam has been around since the early 70's and the food is plentiful, good and pretty reasonable. The restaurant is famous for its slow service (a remnant of its hippy past), but nobody seems to mind.
Our waiter informed me that anything that had cheese in it could be made with Daiya. I chose the Breakfast Burrito (scrambled tofu with onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes mixed with vegan sausage in a whole wheat flour tortilla, topped with cheese and served with salsa).
It was very hearty and delicious... and the Daiya cheese? It was melty, creamy and surprisingly tasty. Please let them know you are interested! It might speed things up!
We then spent some time in the Kitsilano area and made our usual foray to the Parthenon Supermarket, a great Greek and Middle Eastern grocery owned by a friend of ours who used to live on Denman Island, Kyriakos Katsanikakis. I always go there for gigante beans (giant lima beans) and cannellini or Great Northern beans. We were lucky to see Kyriakos this time!
For dinner on Saturday night we went to a South Indian vegetarian restaurant called Saravanaa Bhavan. It is part of a worldwide chain of restaurants originating in India. The decor is pretty basic, but the food is great, with good prices and friendly, helpful service. They have lots of dosas (Indian crepes) and other wonderful dishes. We concentrated on dosas and biryani. I would definitely go back again! (Here's the Vancouver menu.)
Adai Avial-- crepes made from mung beans-- DH had this one.
Rava (semolina) dosa
How they make the dosa in restaurants.
I had the semolina and rice dosa with masala potato filling and 3 chutneys-- delicious! The vegetable and mushroom biryanis were spicy and tasty. Nothing tasted greasy at all.
On Sunday morning we took my cousin's partner, Roxanne, to work at the new Ten Thousand Villages store she opened and manages on Granville Island, a major tourist attraction (especially for foodies!) in Vancouver. We did some shopping and looking and worked up an appetite (we ate lunch at home this time, bringing home some yummy sourdough peasant bread).
The new Granville Island Ten Thousand Villages store:
More Granville island shots:
Sunday night we picked up Roxanne and met my daughter Justine, her partner George and son L., our friends Brenda and John, my stepson Laurie and his girlfriend Meghan At the Pondok Indonesia Restaurant on Broadway. The service was pretty slow and uneven, but the food was very good! DH and I shared a Vegetarian Rice Table, or rijsttafel (often misspelled rijstaffel), a Dutch word that literally translates to "rice table", and is an elaborate meal adapted by the Dutch from the Indonesian feast called nasi padang:
It consisted of sticky rice, stir-fried bean sprouts, stir-fried tofu with tomatoes, "Hawker-style" noodles (Bami Goreng) with cabbage, and deep-fried tofu with peanut sauce and vegetables.
Roxanne ordered a young coconut-- you drink the coconut "water" and then scoop out the pudding-like flesh of the unripe coconut--very refreshing!
My grandson wanted nothing more than a bowl of edamame!
Dessert for some of the group was deep-fried bananas with vanilla ice cream-- a dish I make vegan and low-fat at home by rolling the banana with a little brown sugar in phyllo pastry and baking until crispy, and then serving with nondairy vanilla "ice cream"-- the perfect combination of crispy and soft, hot and cold!
Glad to be home, but it was a tasty trip!

Really beautiful pictures! Isn't Vancouver a wonderful city? I don't live there, unfortunately, but was lucky enough to spend a few days there recently in a state of complete aesthetic arrest...didn't get to the great vegan food places you did, however. I guess I'll have to go back ;-)

Hi! Very nice pictures... even after lunch I'm getting hungry. What is the Daiya cheese made from? I've never heard about it. I also appreciate info about restaurants in Vancouver. Some of them seem to be good to visit.
Good luck!

Jay, Daiya cheese is soy-free, so great for soy-allergic vegans, and ismade from: "Purified water, natural whole ground cassava and/or arrowroot flours, high oleic sunflower and/or safflower and/or identity-preserved high oleic canola oil, coconut oil, pea protein, salt, inactive yeast, vegetable glycerin, natural flavors (derived from plants), xanthan gum, sunflower lecithin, natural vegan enzymes, natural vegan bacterial cultures, citric acid, natural color."
Besides the Naam in Vancouver, it is used in the Lower Mainland in the Rebellious Tomato
115 West 15th Street, North Vancouver and Jim's Pizza 9218 Young Road, Chilliwack.
Those are the only places in Canada so far (it is made in the Lower Mainland). It is however, used in restaurants all over the USA. Check out which ones here;
Use their contact form to tell them you'd like to buy it in a retail store in your area:

Wow, what a great adventure in eating in Vancouver! We have Daiya cheese at Whole Foods market in my area (retail) but it is very expensive and I didn't buy. Also, a local restaurant in Mother's market serves dishes with Daiya. I got to try it (haven't got the chance yet).
The Indonesian rijstaffel looks good. Glad that the restaurant has a vegetarian option. I have to keep it in mind when we visit Vancouver in the future. The Indonesian restaurants here don't have the veggie option. I usually get gado-gado with no egg and no shrimp chips (use other chips).

In May 1961 FCC Chairman Newton Minnow gave his famous speech condemning network television as "a vast wasteland." However accurate Minnow's evaluation was at the time, it has certaintly lost its salience over the years. Today much of the best dramatic and comedy writing is done for television rather than theater or film. Why is that so?
Paul Cantor is the Clifton Waller Barrett Professor of English at the University of Virginia and an extremely observant student of popular culture. Professor Cantor is the author of Gilligan Unbound: Pop Culture in the Age of Globalization, a book demonstrating that even in the television era Minnow castigated, an intelligent observer could find much of interest in the medium.
Yet Professor Cantor finds that television has matured as a medium. He argues that "the best products of the medium have developed the aesthetic virtues traditionally associated with books — complex and large-scale narratives, depth of characterization, seriousness of themes, and richness of language."
Professor Cantor's review/essay "Is there intelligent life on television" is one of the highlights of the new issue of the Claremont Review of Books (subscribe here) that our friends at the magazine have let us preview this week. The essay explores the development of television as a writer's medium.
It is difficult to excerpt Professor Cantor's long essay. His comments on the famous Frankfurt School critic Theodor Adorno and Adorno's pioneering 1954 essay "How to Look at Televsion" are particularly entertaining. Adorno, Cantor writes, may well be the first major intellectual figure to have written about television and perhaps the most prominent critic ever to have done so. Adorno's essay has proved influential — its influence, direct or indirect, can even be seen in Minnow's speech — but "Adorno shows little awareness that he is dealing with a medium in its earlierst stages, that it might develop into something more sophisticated and genuinely artistic in the future."
Cantor finds Adorno's critique wanting in fundamental respects even with respect to the shows of the era:
Adorno's contempt for American television leads him to treat it in an unscholarly manner. He does not even bother to name the particular shows he is discussing because evidently they all pretty much looked the same to him. One of his examples must be a sitcom I remember called Our Miss Brooks. Here is Adorno's capsule description: "the heroine of an extremely light comedy of pranks is a young schoolteacher who is not only underpaid but is incessantly fined by the caricature of a pompous and authoritarian school principal." I have trouble recognizing the show I remember with some fondness in Adorno's characterization: "The supposedly funny situations consist mostly of her trying to hustle a meal from various acquaintances, but regularly without success." One begins to suspect that Adorno's readings of American television are telling us as much about him as they do about television. I hate to think that the great anti-fascist intellectual had an authoritarian personality himself, but he seems to be suspiciously unnerved by the typically American negative attitude toward authority figures, especially when he sees it displayed by women. Could it be that when Adorno looked at Principal Osgood Conklin of Our Miss Brooks, he was having flashbacks to Professor Immanuel Rath of The Blue Angel, and couldn't bear the image of academic authority humiliated by underlings and students? After all, Germans have always respected their teachers much more than Americans do. One shudders to think what Adorno would have made of Bart Simpson's treatment of Principal Seymour Skinner.
Professor Cantor's enlightening essay embodies his thesis regarding recent books about television discussed in the essay: "The reading public is still interested in thoughtful intellectual conversation about what has always made for good narratives in any medium–complex plot lines, interesting characters, serious and even philosophical issues, and insights into the human condition.".

Telling Others You Have HIV
After being diagnosed with HIV, one of the toughest decisions you'll face is who to tell about your status. Friends, family, lovers, coworkers: How do you decide, and what's the best way to break the news?
There is no "right" way to disclose your HIV status. It all depends on the situation and how you get along with the people you're thinking about telling. Check out this list for some excellent information that will help you decide to whom and how and when to tell friends and loved ones that you have HIV.
George Burgess
"I think my dad had the best response when I told him I was HIV positive: 'Son, I love you. We'll get through this.' A soldier, true to his heart. You know, a soldier with compassion: 'We'll get through this, son. What do we need to do?'"
Read more about George or watch a video of him.
Wise Words: Guidance on Disclosing Your HIV Status
Telling others you're HIV positive is not something you rush into. There are important personal steps to take before disclosing your status to others.
There are plenty of pros and cons to disclosure. This article provides some general guidelines about specific people you may want to tell.
Disclosure means telling someone that you are living with HIV (HIV+). Sharing your HIV status can help with the stresses of living with HIV. But whom to tell and how to tell them can be complicated and difficult decisions.
When thinking about talking to your children about your HIV status -- or their status -- remember what you already know about your family: how your children learn new information, and what feels best for your family. There's no right way, but here are some steps to prepare.

i was diagnosed with hiv in 1984 full blown AIDS in 1993 and for the past 6-7 years i have been undetectable because of my adherence and just living healthy life. i eat well do not drink or use drugs. i am using marijuana for my nausea because the 4 meds i take are harsh. but i am just happy to be alive and i hope i will be around when the cure is announced. i was with alot of friends when they passed on because nobody would come near us or help us in any way. i am now getting my certification so that i can council those who are newly diagnosed to not fret it is not a death sentence anymore. just adhere to the treatment plan and you can live a healthy life. god bless all of us with hiv/AIDS/hep c!!! sincerely, william doepper

My now Ex-Girlfriend and I have broken up. She is threatening to tell all my friends and family that I have HIV, and is calling me gay because of my past actions. I got HIV from gay/bi activities, so it isnt all false, however, I dont wish to have this disclosed to anyone other than my doctors. I am not ready to deal with telling people that I am POZ, despite being so since '04. She is basically blackmailing me, telling me "You will do this, or You will do that, or I will tell your friends and family". I told her long before we ever started dating, and even before our first kiss that I had HIV, so it isnt a case of her finding out after the fact. I admitted to being with men 1-on-1 when she got to asking me questions. My honesty with her, makes me realize it is NOT SAFE to tell anyone of your HIV status, even if you believe in your heart that it is. No matter how "in love" you believe you are, things can fall apart, and you will likely regret it when you do. I dont know, if I ever find another woman, I may not tell her I am POZ, until we are about to get married. I dont care what the law says.... I am currently undetectable, and have been for years. My CD4 count is back up over 800.

Although I was shocked,I had nothing but positive feedback from all health care professionals.I remained strong.I did tell a few select people that I knew would be great support. I'm ok and i'm going to continue to be ok. I guess it could be worse. and i look forward to the future.i strongly believe in the next ten years we will have a cure!!!!

AFTER HAVING BEEN POZ FOR 12yrs AND MY FAMILY NOT BEING TOLD, I FINALLY DECIDED TO DISCLOSE MY SITUATION. THOUGH I'M POZ, I'M IN EXCELLENT HEALTH AND ALL OF MY "NUMBERS" ARE VERY GOOD. THE FIRST THING OUT OF MY MOTHERS MOUTH WAS "YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT YOU'VE ALLOWED US TO EAT AND DRINK AFTER YOU WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING?" THE CONVERSATION WENT ON FROM THERE...NEEDLESS TO SAY, I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS ONE OF THE WORST DECISIONS IN MY LIFE. I COULD HAVE CONTINUED ON "IN THE CLOSET" AND SAVED MYSELF A BUTT LOAD OF DEGREDATION AND IGNORANCE. EVEN AFTER EXPLAINING MY "EXCELLENT" CONDITION, IT STILL REALLY SEEMED TO NOT BE UNDERSTOOD. SO, I WOULD APPROACH THIS SUBJECT WITH GREAT AND DEEP THOUGHT, AS WELL AS BEING PREPARED FOR THE RESPONSE YOU MAY RECEIVE FROM THOSE WHO "LOVE" YOU. AND DON'T LET YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS GAIN THEIR INFORMATION FROM WHAT I TERM AS "HOO-DOO GOO-ROO" BOOKS. HAVE INFORMATION FOR A RESOURCE SUCH AS THIS ONE READY TO GIVE EDUCATE THEIR FAMILY PROPERLY. GOOD LUCK!

I served in the Army and we were always told 'need to know basis' all the time.
If you tell someone about your HIV you can NEVER 'untell', you tell for EVER.
I suggest NEVER to tell anyone, unless it is absolutely necessary.

I found out I was HIV+ after becoming damn sick, I mean pain all over my body, every joint moved was nothing but pain, chills, fever, headaches....It totally sucked.... I ended up in the ER in late Jan of 09 for what was called liver blockage. The first day it was confirmed I had Hep B, second day came, test confirmed HIV+. The doctor at the ER was pretty surprised on my reaction to all of this. I was really calm about it and to tell the truth was not too surprised. I asked him what was next for me? What do I have to do? What do I have to take?... Listen up people....I did this to myself, I knew better, I'm educated...The needles were not clean...Get it... It does not matter....You take a risk....You pay the price... That is all it took...I won't let this get me down or stop me from enjoying my life. It's all about being proactive, thinking positive, and following through. My wife is (-) and is being tested through the same clinic and being seen by my doctor as well. We practice safe sex which is new to both of us, which I won't have it any other way, I need to protect her... I want to thank her in supporting me, loving me, and really wanting to get back together... We separated Dec of 08 and recently are back together...I love you babe...And esp. to my daughters...Oh, do my daughters know, only of the Hep B... Will I ever tell them? Maybe, maybe not. Could I use this as an example for them not to follow in risk taking?..Yes...There will be a day...

I found out I was HIV+ just 4 months after meeting a man who I finally connected with. I wanted to push him away for his sake..you know keep him( -)as for I didnt want to be responsable for another person's life. Well it's a year later and we're stronger than ever, the only down side is he is overprotective of my health and that drives me nuts...! I am a healthy 42 year old and the results are just that..results and my life goes on strong. I have a better understanding of the virus and have opened my mind to new methods of care. I couldn't have done this without this wonderful man by my side!

Syrian forces launched several attacks against rebel regions Friday killing nearly 70 civilians mostly in Idleb, according to activists .While repression showed no sign of respite a year after the start of the uprising against the regime of Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian opposition announced the defection of a dozen army officers, including six generals and four colonels.
Assad can still count on support from its ally Russia, which opposed a new draft resolution to the Security Council of the UN, before a meeting in Cairo of foreign minister Sergei Lavrov.
Taking advantage of the inability of the international community to speak with one voice on Syria, the Assad regime has sent forces to watch the highlights of the dispute, including Idleb (northwest), Homs (center) and Hama (center) in the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (OSDH).
In the bloodiest attack, 24 civilians were killed in Idleb, said opposition activists. While a large number of tanks were massed in the district of Jabal al-Zawiya of Idleb, the pro-democracy activists have expressed concern of a major operation like that in Baba Amr district of Homs. "The largest number of deserters (in Syria) are in Jabal al-Zawiya," said the head of Syrian Bservatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel Rahman.
In other areas of the rebel province of Homs, 16 civilians were killed, including 10 following the fall of shells and rockets and three in the dispersal of a demonstration against the regime. Four civilians were killed in Hama and one in Aleppo as a result of firing on the demonstrators, said the Observatory.
Like every Friday since 15 March 2011, tens of thousands of Syrians took to the streets. Aleppo, where demonstrators chanted "Assad Get out!" or "Assad, your days are numbered, God curse your soul", has seen its largest mobilization in the past year, according to activists.

We know the Roman legions can build siege equipment when they lay siege to a city but what options do the other civ's have?
I know we can assault the city if its fortification is only lvl 1 so I guess what i'm asking is if there's anything I can do other than set up camp outside the city walls and wait for it's inhabitants to surrender in cities that are lvl 2 or more ?
edit: I also would like to know where I can find some cash to pay for my troops upkeep, this is my first time playing as any non-romans.

Bringing our coverage of Nokia's partner apps that were demoed today towards a close, we have a somewhat intriguing use of the Windows Phone lens feature: JobLens.
Positioned as a service to help those looking for work, JobLens provides a friends list to help you network and look for opportunities through your contacts, but that's not the clever feature. As suggested by the title, this app uses augmented reality to show you jobs that are being advertised near your location.
You might be wondering what purpose that serves, but if you think about it, the location of your job is actually quite a big deal. Finding a job near where you work, or even coming into an area you find pleasant and looking for jobs nearby actually does make sense.
One of the coolest things about this app though, from a veteran Windows Phone user's perspective at least, is that the background of its main panorama is animated. Seriously check out our video hands on, it is funky! This may be a sign of things to come, but more on that later...

Release courtesy Eastern Michigan University
Eastern Michigan website (press conference video, media interviews and photo gallery)
YPSILANTI, Mich. — Eastern Michigan University President Susan Martin has named Ohio State University Senior Associate Athletic Director Heather Lyke as Eastern Michigan University Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics. Lyke has spent the last nine years at OSU under the tutelage of Gene Smith, current OSU athletic director and former EMU athletic director (1986-1993). She will begin at Eastern July 22, 2013.
"I've had the opportunity to talk with leaders in collegiate athletics from around the country during the search, including Gene Smith," said Eastern Michigan University President Susan Martin. "I also talked and met with many highly qualified AD candidates – including sitting ADs and associate ADs. Heather Lyke is the right person at the right time with the outstanding skills, talent, enthusiasm and experience to lead Eastern Michigan University Athletics to great success."
Lyke has more than 17 years experience in intercollegiate athletics administration – 15 of which have been at Ohio State. In her current role at OSU, she is a member of the athletic department's executive team and is responsible for the assessment, design and development of the department's strategic plan. She directly oversees 10 of OSU's 36 athletic programs and manages/supervises 31 full-time coaches and staff. She also has oversight over all facets of the athletic councils involving budget oversight, revenue generation and facilities as well as the golf course operations. Additionally, she supervises the sport performance division of the department, which includes the strength and conditioning coaches, athletic training staff and sports medicine staff. This year, she developed the first ever student-athlete internship program within the Department of Athletics. On a national level, Lyke has been active within the NCAA and Big Ten committee structure as a member of the NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Committee and Big Ten Sports Management Committee and previously served on the NCAA Softball Rules Committee and the NCAA Amateurism Committee.
"I am honored and excited to be named the Director of Athletics at Eastern Michigan University," said Lyke. "This is a tremendous opportunity to become a part of a dynamic leadership team. I am eager to serve and build great relationships with President Martin and the University leadership, the faculty, our student-athletes, coaches and staff, alumni and donors, and the greater Ypsilanti and Michigan community. Eastern Michigan has a rich history of athletic success and academic achievement. I look forward to being part of the continued success of Eastern Michigan University as we help shape the next generation of leaders and achieve even greater accomplishments."
Her previous roles at OSU include associate athletic director for sport administration (2002-2012) and associate athletic director for sport administration, compliance and camp operations (1998-2002). Prior to Ohio State, Lyke was at the University of Cincinnati for two years, serving as the assistant athletic director for compliance as well as the senior woman administrator. Lyke began her athletics administrative career at the NCAA national office as an intern in the enforcement and student-athlete reinstatement department. Lyke also has worked for the Big Ten Network as a color analyst for softball games.
Lyke grew up in Canton, Ohio, and attended the University of Michigan on a softball scholarship. While at U-M, she was a four-year letter winner as a first baseman, two-time team captain, Big Ten champion and Academic All-Big Ten honoree as a member of its softball team. She earned a bachelor's of science degree in education from University of Michigan and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Akron School of Law. She was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1995.
Lyke becomes the 12th athletic director at Eastern Michigan University since Wilbur Bowen was named as Eastern's first athletic director in 1903. She also is the first woman to hold the full-time AD position at EMU.
Lyke is committed to continuing the high academic standards of EMU athletics that resulted in the department's highest-ever cumulative GPA of 3.201 during the fall 2012 semester.
"Eastern Michigan University Athletics is defined by success on the field, in the classroom, and the overall well-being of our student athletes" said Francine Parker, chair of the Board of Regents. Heather Lyke's background and experience in athletics administration, as a compliance officer and as a student-athlete, ensures Eastern's focus on the entire student-athlete experience will remain a top priority."
A national search process began in mid-April, following the decision of former EMU Athletic Director Derrick Gragg to join the University of Tulsa. A 16-member search committee, chaired by Vice President for Communications Walter Kraft and representing students, student-athletes, faculty, alumni and athletics coaches and staff, reviewed an initial pool of more than 80 applications to identify a strong group of finalists.
"I'd like to acknowledge the hard work and time commitment of every member of the search committee. Their expertise was essential in this process," said Kraft. "We found Heather's passion and enthusiasm for collegiate athletics and the student-athlete experience to be contagious."
Lyke's contract is for five years at an annual salary of $245,000 plus incentives based on championship and bowl appearances, academics, attendance, and more.
Lyke and husband David Catalano have three children, Elle, Sophie and Eli.

A Texas A&M wide receiver who threw a scare into both his real-life and football families last month has decided to part ways with the program. Whether it's a permanent departure remains to be seen.
Thomas Johnson, head coach Kevin Sumlin confirmed, has withdrawn from school and is in the process of determining the direction his future, football or otherwise, will take. "[J]ust trying to figure out what his next step is going to be," Sumlin told the San Antonio Express-News.
One future step could be a return from where he came as Sumlin left the door open for the receiver to come back to the Aggies. Sumlin also acknowledged than a transfer out of the football program is also a possibility.
In mid-November, Johnson failed to show for a midweek practice, part of a development that prompted both a missing person's alert to be issued and the A&M police department soliciting the public for help in finding the player. Johnson was found, safe and unharmed, nearly two days after he was last seen.
At the time of his disappearance, Johnson was third on the team with 30 receptions. He did not play in the Aggies' final two regular season games.

Hello Dr, Our planet need more Dr Bobs..
Jun 13, 2011
I cannot start this with our saying that you are a BOMDIGIDI and a true inspiration to many on this planet.
Please bear with my English, I admit that I am not a good writer. (I posted few questions before and never got a response, may be I have asked stupid questions which later I found the answers from your archive). I am a constant follower of your forum at thebody.com, I really appreciate all the work you have been doing via your foundation.
Let me come to the topic, being US one of the advanced countries and still needed a lot of HIV awareness, in which you are contributing a lot(for the awareness) for the well being, but think about the other countries like India (I know there are other countries much worse) I pointed India since the culture there still thiks having HIV is a SIN and I know people dies from AIDS and how their families are being treated, the real scary part that they are almost excluded from the normal society. I couldnt even imagine what they are going thru. I urge you to provide your services to India. I do not know if you are already doing it. Would you be able to expand your services to India which I think are needed very desperately especially the awareness to see HIV as any other infections, and the society should see the hivrs equally as others.
I myself is a worried well , then only I realized how much your services are required in my country. I did contribute to your foundation and I plan to keep contributing as long as my financials permit.
I know this might not be appropriate to this forum but I do not know where to post this. I hope you will read this and respond.
Also I am planning to dedicate part of my career for the research and awareness, I am really interested to put my part in the research for the cure but I am not a medical student, I need your advise to how do I start with?.
--Indian guy.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello, Indian Guy.
BOMDIGIDI?? Hmm. I like that!
HIV/AIDS stigma continues to be a major problem worldwide. Personally, and through my foundation, I try to raise HIV/AIDS awareness through education and advocacy. That's why I volunteer my time here at The Body. I should point out my advice is available free to one and all throughout the cyber-universe, including those who reside in India. In fact I receive and respond to many questions originating from India. My foundation sponsors HIV/AIDS programs that provide crucial services (like providing antiretrovirals) to those living with HIV/AIDS worldwide and also that promote HIV/AIDS awareness, education and advocacy as mentioned above.
Thanks for your very kind comments and your support of The Robert James Frascino AIDS Foundation (www.concertedeffort.org). Both are warmly appreciated. I'm also very pleased to hear you may be joining the battle against the pandemic by working in the field of AIDS research and awareness. BRAVO! and welcome aboard. If we all did our part, we could stop HIV/AIDS cold in its tracks today. Unfortunately more folks seem fascinated with Congressional sex scandals than the 7,000 new HIV infections that occur daily around the globe.
Be well.
Dr. Bob

Protected area systems provide powerful tools to combat climate change; with commitment and planning they could do even more in the future. This story is shared with CEC by Nigel Dudley and Trevor Sandwith of the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas.
Global climate change strategies identify the need to halt deforestation and to use natural ecosystems for sequestering carbon, as well as to help society adapt to the changes that are occurring. Protected areas can play a key role; the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change notes: "Synergies between mitigation and adaptation can exist, e.g. properly designed biomass production, formation of protected areas…" (our emphasis). Recognition of ecosystem-based approaches to adaptation by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will give important support for this strategy.
Protected areas can help in two ways: mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon in organic matter and adapting to impacts of climate change by maintaining ecosystem functioning and the services upon which millions of people depend.
Over 312 gigatonnes of carbon is already stored in protected areas according to the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), or 15 per cent of global carbon stocks. This may prove to be an underestimate, as we learn more about sequestration in marine and freshwater ecosystems. Protected areas are important particularly where habitat destruction would otherwise cause carbon loss. Economists can calculate the value of carbon: research by The Nature Conservancy found that carbon in protected areas in Bolivia, Venezuela and Mexico was worth US$39-87 billion in global damage costs avoided.
As climate change progresses, healthy natural ecosystems can help buffer human societies. Natural disasters are growing in number and severity, from about 100 major disasters per decade in the 1940s to almost 2,800 in the 1990s, because extreme climatic events are increasing and land shortages are forcing people onto disaster-prone areas like floodplains. The World Bank suggests that every dollar invested in effective disaster reduction saves seven dollars in costs of disasters. Protected mountain forests, coastal reefs, mangroves and other ecosystems buffer human communities against potentially disastrous events like avalanches, flooding and tidal surges.
Agricultural systems, water supplies and health services are also under pressure. Protected areas provide a suite of services, such as pure water (a third of the world's hundred largest cities draw drinking water from forest protected areas), genetic material for crop breeding to meet changing environmental conditions, pharmaceuticals for emerging diseases and nursery grounds for marine and freshwater fisheries.
But protected areas are not a panacea. Many still leak carbon due to illegal logging, land clearance and poorly-managed fires. UNEP-WCMC studied several tropical protected areas and found forest loss much lower than elsewhere but still significant, perhaps as much as 3 per cent of the emissions from tropical deforestation.
Protected areas themselves face important new pressures due to climate change, with a risk that the solutions they offer will be lost if they decline in quality. Managers need to develop additional conservation strategies, such as building connectivity, providing routes for species to move as climate shifts, addressing extreme weather events and maintaining ecological integrity. A big challenge will be management in the face of increased uncertainly, for example to deal with changing rates of invasion by alien species or increased frequency of fires. Many management responses require new skills and new tools. In a crowded planet, any expansion of protection needs careful social safeguards and more stakeholders involved in decision-making than in the past. Protected area systems that recognise and involve local communities, indigenous peoples, the private sector and other conservation stewards in a mosaic of conservation actions are more likely to increase the resilience of ecosystems and people in a changing world.
Meeting the challenges will require careful coordination. In particular, the UNFCCC and the Convention on Biological Diversity must work closely together to maximise opportunities from protected areas. Key meetings of the UNFCCC in 2009 and the CBD in 2010 provide forums for agreement. IUCN has a critical role in ensuring that the potential of protected areas is fully realised. PACT 2020 (Protected Areas and Climate Turnaround) is a major initiative co-ordinated by IUCN across its secretariat, regions and commissions. It aims to increase awareness and understanding of the role of protected areas in climate change mitigation and adaptation; to influence policy to ensure that protected area systems play an appropriate role in national and regional responses; and to provide tools and guidance to integrate protected area systems into national strategies for climate change. An authoritative publication is being prepared for a Protected Areas and Climate Change Summit hosted in Andalucia in November 2009, which will send a strong message to Copenhagen in December.
If you have information regarding the role of protected area systems in climate change mitigation or adaptation, please contact Nigel Dudley ([email protected]). For further information on PACT 2020 please contact Trevor Sandwith ([email protected]) or Pedro Rosabal ([email protected]).

Ousted Orange cop continues fight for job
More than two years have passed since 28-year-old Marine veteran James Whitehead was fatally shot outside an Orange auto parts store by off-duty police Captain Robert Arnold, but the legal battles surrounding the homicide are far from over.
"I think about James everyday," Whitehead's sister, Brandy Boyett, said as she and her family readied for yet another birthday without her little brother around to share in the celebration. Shortly thereafter, the family was awarded in excess of $600,000 as a civil penalty against Arnold for taking Whitehead's life the afternoon of July 26, 2010.
Boyett said she is still grieving the loss she felt when a bullet struck her brother's chest, killing him while he sat back in the passenger's seat of a pick-up truck at the O'Reilly Auto Parts store in Orange. Whitehead was unarmed, trying to leave the scene of a heated verbal altercation when the incident occurred, according to witness testimony and autopsy results. Boyett has relived the moment time and time again – hearing the gory details while sitting through arbitration and mediation hearings, interviews with investigators and attorneys, and while researching what can be done to bring her brother's killer to justice.
"This whole thing has been a nightmare," she said. Still, she can't wake up. According to Boyett, this horrible, horrible dream won't be over until her brother's killer is called to account for his actions.
Hope for justice in the courtroom was all but lost when Orange County District Attorney John Kimbrough brought the case before a grand jury, failing to secure an indictment on the shooter after not calling a single eyewitness to the stand. In the days following the grand jury's "no bill," then-Orange Police Chief Sam Kittrell released a 36-page report detailing the improper actions taken by Arnold when he shot an unarmed civilian. At that time, Arnold was placed on indefinite leave. But neither the Whitehead family nor Arnold were satisfied with the rulings. Both sides have since waged civil court battles, and a group dubbed Justice for James has been actively seeking Arnold's criminal prosecution.
Robert Arnold petitioned for an independent arbitrator to rule on the disgraced officer's request to be reinstated to his position on the Orange Police force. Arnold alleged his civil servant rights had been violated by investigators failing to inform the police captain that he was under investigation for the fatal shooting. The city of Orange has vigorously fought reinstating the officer.
Michael Grossi, an out-of-state police officer trainer and Arnold's expert witness for the arbitration hearing, told the arbitrator in 2011, "I was surprised to see that he wasn't terminated for excessive force," but concluded, based on reading statements, that Arnold was justified in shooting Whitehead that July day in 2010. Grossi was paid between $7,500 and $8,000 for his testimony, he said. Grossi was the only witness to say Arnold had acted correctly.
Forensic pathologist and medical examiner Tommy Brown said Arnold was no more than 8 inches, possibly even less than 6 inches, from Whitehead when the fatal shot was fired.
According to John Cash Smith, the attorney representing the city of Orange during the arbitration hearing, "We believe, by more than a preponderance of the evidence, that it was a killing, not what police call a good shooting."
Still, arbitrator/fact-finder Leroy Bartman ruled that Arnold had not been informed there was an investigation into his actions, and ordered the officer put back to work. The city of Orange appealed the ruling and has refused to put Arnold on the streets with a badge and gun.
"Arnold used incredibly bad judgment, and because of that, lives were ruined," Smith said on behalf of the city. And because of Arnold's actions, Smith said, Whitehead "had his life snuffed out.
" … The gist of this from the standpoint of the city of Orange and the City of Orange Police Department — this should never have happened."
Take two
"The Texas court system will rectify the mistake made by fact-finder Bartman," Smith said after the first arbitration ruling sided with Arnold. The two sides were back in court Monday, Oct. 29, arguing their case before a judge in the 260th District Court. A ruling was anticipated for Wednesday, Oct. 31, but as of press time, none had been made. Check theexaminer.com for updates.

Student Profiles: Early Childhood Education Archives
Joseph LeBlanc
Byon November 7, 2013 3:35 PM
Joseph Leblanc grew up in San Jose. He attended Sonoma State as an undergraduate and earned his B.A in Human Development in 1999. He worked at several colleges, including Santa Clara and San Jose State University. Leblanc's mother was a preschool teacher; helping out in her classroom made him realize he also wanted to work with kids.
Even while in school he knew he wanted a career working with people and not a desk job. During his undergrad he worked in-home care and early childcare. There are not a lot of men in his field and he enjoys the challenge that comes with being a minority.
One day Joseph hopes to run his own school. He decided to pursue a Master's in Early Childhood Education so he could start an outdoor/mature program for kids. He now works at the SSU Children's School and is partnering with Lia Thompson-Clark working on opening a new school that is more lab school oriented, sustainable and outdoors.
He likes working with families and people. He also hopes to be an advocate for more men to join his field and find the balance. He loves being at the Children's School and is challenged by trying to align his philosophies with the school's philosophies.
Tamsen Fynn
Byon November 7, 2013 1:39 PM
Tamsen Fynn attended Smith College in Massachusetts, where she studied psychology with a minor in gender studies. In 1994 she graduated and moved to the west coast, settling in the Bay Area where she's now lived for almost twenty years.
She chose a career in Early Childhood Education because she's always loved working with very young children. She's particularly fascinated by the development that occurs between birth and three years old, and has focused on working singularly with this age group. As a singer and musician, Tamsen has combined her passions to teach early childhood musical education.
Primarily, she sings children's folk songs, adapting them to each lesson plan, while using children's ideas to direct the play during music. She also integrates movement and music, to help internalize rhythm and sound at a young age. Lastly, she uses the children's names in as many songs as possible, conveying to children their value and worth in the community of music makers.
Tamsen intends to continue teaching music in early childhood programs while refining her approach, branching out into developing educational materials, and writing about early childhood music philosophies.

Transportation and Parking
UAF Sustainable Transportation program focuses on conserving energy and reducing emissions created by commuting and intra-campus transportation. They are doing this by increasing the fuel economy of the UAF fleet, reducing dependence on personal vehicles, making campus more compact and providing housing close to campus.
What is UAF doing?
- There are now five hybrid vehicles in the UAF Transportation Services fleet including two dump trucks.
- UAF has a shuttle system to reduce dependence on personal vehicles on campus. UAF shuttles are equipped to transport students, faculty, and staff with permanent or temporary disabilities between University facilities. Rides are provided free of charge.
- All campus shuttles now carry GPS trackers; the locations of all shuttles can be found on a dedicated shuttle website, and there are display panels in the bus waiting shelters.
- Any UAF campus ID can be used to ride the Fairbanks North Star Borough MACS public bus system for free as the result of a donation from the UAF Chancellor.
- The UAF Parking Services Department is now offering a new service for bicycle enthusiasts: "Bicycle Locker Rentals!" Parking Services realizes the need to provide secured space for affiliates to store their bicycles and accessories. The bicycle lockers will help eliminate vandalism and theft and protect bicycles and accessories from the elements.
- There is a campus ride-share program utilizing AlterNetWays, a Certified Green Business.
- A UAF 11-passenger van (with wheelchair access) considered excess by UAF Parking Services is in the process of being converted to electric. When the bus is used for 100 days during the summer it could save $2500 in operating costs.
- Power to head bolt outlets for heating vehicles in winter is cycled to save energy.
