Recommendations for Front-line Systemic Therapy for Glioblastoma
Performance status is an attempt to quantify cancer patients general well being. Temozolomide is an oral chemotherapy drug that damages the DNA of cancer cells, killing them. If you are below 70 years old, and have good performance status of less than or equals to 2, it is recommended to use radiation therapy spread out over a few doses concurrent with temozolomide followed by adjuvant temozolomide. A drug taken in an adjuvant setting is given together with another treatment to increase its effectiveness.
Dose-dense therapy is a type of therapy that aims to achieve maximum tumour kill by increasing the rate of chemotherapy delivery. Dose-dense therapy is not recommended.
If you are above 70 years old and have good performance status, treatment options include radiotherapy given over a shorter period of time compared to normal, temozolomide with deferred radiotherapy or radiotherapy with concurrent temozolomide followed by adjuvant temozolomide.
MGMT promoter is a segment of gene that can be used to evaluate the outcomes of glioblastoma patients by checking to see if it contains a chemical group known as a methyl group. If you are above 70 years old and have good performance status, we suggest that you go for tests to check for the presence of such methyl groups in your MGMT promoter. If methyl groups are present, we recommened temozolomide therapy.
Bevacizumab is a drug that inhibits growth of blood vessels that cancers need to support their growth, thus preventing the growth of cancer cells. The addition of the bevacizumab as upfront therapy is not recommended.
Some cancer cells have proteins on their surface called epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFRs). EGFR inhibitors such as nimotuzumab inhibit the function of these proteins, preventing them from promoting growth of cancer cells. The role of nimotuzumab as front-line therapy in this case is debated.
Procarbazine, lomustine and vincristine (PCV) is a combination of 3 chemotherapy drugs used together in a chemotherapy regimen. Procarbazine damages cancer cell DNA, causing cancer cells to die. Lomustine inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis by cancer cells, causing them to stop growing. Vincristine stops cancer cells from dividing properly, thus causing them to die. If you have poor performance status, some options that are recommended include treatment with PCV, temozolomide given alone, radiotherapy given alone or best supportive care, a type of medical care that focuses on relieving the symptoms caused by serious illnesses. It should be noted that there is a lack of data on front-line therapy in patients with poor performance status.

The Steel Recycling Institute (SRI) announced the recycling rates of various steel products at the American Iron and Steel Institute?s General Meeting, yesterday. According to SRI, steel remains the most recycled material in North America with a recycling rate of 70.7 percent for 2002, a 4.3-percent increase over 2001.
At the household level, SRI said that appliances had an 86.6-percent recycling rate in 2002, up from 85.0 percent in 2001. The recycling rate of steel cans increased slightly to 58.5 percent.
The automobile industry is reported as having the highest recycling rate at 100.6 percent for 2002. According to the SRI, the automobile recycling rate is calculated by comparing the total steel used in new cars versus the total steel recovered from old cars.
The SRI reported that the recycling rate for structural beams and plates in construction and demolition is at 95 percent. Other construction materials, including rebars, had a recycling rate of 57.5 percent, up from 50 percent in 2001.

Rub shoulders with the stars as top music awards return to Leeds
Music fans are invited to rub shoulders with the stars as Leeds rolls out the red carpet for the return of the Audio & Radio Industry Awards (ARIAS) at the first direct arena on October 19.
The ARIAS, launched in Leeds last year by The Radio Academy in conjunction with LeedsBID (Leeds Business Improvement District), are the industry’s flagship awards, celebrating the best of audio, innovation and excellence across all radio platforms and digital audio services.
Returning to the first direct Arena on Thursday, October 19, the evening will again be a star-studded event, hosted by Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills, with an increased number of awards and the opportunity for members of the public to be among the audience.
Last year saw the Kaiser Chiefs, Rick Astley and Gregory Porter perform live at the ceremony, which was hosted by BBC Radio’s Sara Cox and attended by Nick Grimshaw, Clara Amfo, Bob Mortimer, Robbie Savage and the Brownlee brothers. Performers for this year’s event have yet to be announced but promise to be of the same calibre.
Members of the public can join the glitz and glamour with tickets for the awards show on sale now.
Scott Mills said: “What an honour to be asked to host this year’s ARIAS. I can’t wait to help celebrate with you the great output and content from across the audio and radio industries.”
With a total of 23 award categories recognising innovation and excellence across all audio mediums - including podcasting, streaming and audio books – the ARIAS celebrate the very best of the industry from traditional awards such as Best National Station, Best Network Music Breakfast Show and Best Local Station to Best Podcast and Best Digital and Audio Service.
The Radio Academy Managing Director, Roger Cutsforth, said: “The ARIAS are about recognising talented individuals and teams who excel at their craft and produce the very best audio programmes and initiatives in the world.”
first direct arena General Manager Jen Mitchell added: “Last year’s event was a huge success and we are looking forward to welcoming the ARIAS back in October.
“Hosting such a prestigious awards ceremony, where fans rub shoulders with the stars of the radio industry, is a huge honour and we are excited about showcasing the first direct arena to a national audience.”
Tickets are on sale now via www.firstdirectarena.com.

This schism is highlighted by an encounter with a pair of elderly spinsters – one of them, a psychic, claims to have seen the dead girl's ghost. Laura's open-minded about it, John isn't. Even though he restores churches for a living, he's an atheist, embarrassed by the acts of piety which come naturally to Laura when she's on holy ground. He takes her sudden interest in spiritualism as a sign of an impending breakdown. But despite – or perhaps because – of his resistance, John is soon seeing portents of his own, of a far less reassuring kind.
As scripted by Allan Scott and Chris Bryant, the story is as fragile as the characters, domestic in scope, shorn of the usual trappings of movie horror – no defrocked priests, no FX, no spurts of blood or vomit. But Roeg wraps it around with a dazzling series of recurring visual motifs which act like a tightening net upon characters and audience alike - breaking glass, rippling water, half-glimpsed blotches of red in an otherwise autumnal palette. Roeg's use of non-linear editing to fragment the passage of time is here particularly appropriate, because for the Baxters the present all too easily dissolves into regrets over the past and foreboding for the future.
Yet a warm pulse of life flows through the scenes. This is in part thanks to performances from the two leads that are engaging and unbuttoned (literally so in a famous sex scene which Wordsworth might have enjoyed as an example of emotion recollected in tranquillity.) But equally as important is the hand-held cinematography by Anthony Richmond, which gives the movie the feel of something caught on the fly rather than solemnly premeditated.
The result is a film that lifts itself free of horror's conventions while at the same time delivering effortless chills and a matchlessly nightmarish finale. It's perhaps the most influential movie Roeg has made – you can see echoes of it in David Lynch's later work and Lars von Trier's 'Antichrist.' It's great news that one of cinema's most profound glimpses behind the veil is now out on Blu-ray.

Ali Dee has exploded onto the scene as a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and television star. As if that doesn’t keep her busy enough, the girl even has her own fashion line the Ali Dee Collection.
Ali rose to fame as the star of the hit CMT reality show Texas Women and went on to become one of the only independent female country artists in history to break into the TOP 15 on the iTunes Country Chart with the release of her debut EP, Sweet Southern EP.
With the recent release of her highly anticipated new single, “Just A Broken Heart,” Ali has once again set the bar high. The single provides a fun and catchy tune, but that’s just icing on the cake to the songs all too relatable lyrics. “Just A Broken Heart” is definitely more than just another broken heart song, and offers a quirky quality that resembles Miranda Lambert and The Dixie Chicks.
Ali Dee says “Just A Broken Heart is a sarcastic look at the feelings a girl has after she has been dumped, again…and that frustration that you face when you have to go through all those emotions of sadness, anger, and generally just a screwed up state of mind thanks to another jerk. To top it all off you have to figure out how you are going to recover from it all and attempt to try love again.”
“Just A Broken Heart” was released on June 24th and is currently available HERE via iTunes.

Facebook is about to launch a new feature that is likely to kick off speculation about a future press conference.
Facebook’s famous “news feed” algorithm will start to call certain types of posts “content” or “story” — but not necessarily in terms with which would make most sense.
One story type which Facebook is likely to start calling content is “state controlled media.”
Al Jazeera’s CEO Tony Almeida has said in an interview that “it is dangerous” to call any media entity and country “state controlled.”
Facebook’s latest announcement is part of a drive to create a range of “community news” to provide users with a place to find information, mostly from the public sphere. These “community news” sites are expected to include news and information about local issues.
But the main focus is expected to be internet “reform” — the fact that social media sites like Facebook are being used to spread fake news.
Most countries already appear to have a degree of media that are in some way “state controlled” and some are classified as propaganda outlets by US intelligence agencies.
As we’ve noted previously, there are about a dozen different layers of bureaucracy in China, and a long list of state-run companies that are publicly-owned, publicly-traded or in some other public way that exert their weight. Most of those companies are privately-owned, including oil companies, airlines, logistics, tech and financial giants.
US intelligence agencies declared in 2007 that there were several countries across the Middle East and Asia that directly controlled the delivery of news, and encouraged people to “monitor” what was being reported on the web, via Twitter and elsewhere.
However, there are some countries that are not currently defined by US intelligence agencies as governments that control media, including Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Iran has a long and tangled history of abuses and censorship in the public sphere, including arbitrary arrests, opposition arrests, leaks of documents to outside parties, and persecution of bloggers and journalists. It’s unclear whether the new Facebook feature will identify any of this.
Sources like Al Jazeera claim that Facebook’s move is the latest step in a strategy by the US to undermine the editorial content of Arab media:
The US Federal government recently stepped up its war on Arab media, according to a report on Al Jazeera on Tuesday. “The report claimed the US government threatened the corporation with sanctions if it continues to support the Arab Spring. Al Jazeera has been accused of being a ‘subversive news source’ and has claimed to be a target of intense pressure, according to the report. “The US government would not be directly involved in blocking the site, but the threat of sanctions has been used as a political tool to force media outlets to bow to the US agenda, it said.”
Al Jazeera went on to claim:
“Al Jazeera, as is the case with most Arab news organisations, is hardly renowned for supporting US policies or neutrality in the Middle East, whether through its editorial stance on US officials, leading Arab countries and Arab economic and political programs. “It has also regularly taken on the American role in the region. Critics say the site ‘censors’ news on US drone strikes and US war in Iraq, for example.”
The report also claimed the move was part of a plan by President Donald Trump to purge Arab media from the Facebook website. A number of Al Jazeera TV outlets have been subject to vicious attacks, including threats of imprisonment, by Twitter users.
This is a theme that we’ve talked about before.
Disclosure: Peter Aldhous is a US journalist and former English correspondent for Al Jazeera’s English online outlet.

President Obama today awarded 18 Americans with the 2012 Presidential Citizens Medal, the nation's second-highest civilian honor.
The recipients included the six teachers who were killed in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., the founders of nonprofits and advocacy organizations, and civic leaders. Mr. Obama called them "some of our nation's finest citizens."}
"These folks participate. They get involved. They have a point of view," he said. "That's what it means to be a citizen in the United States of America."
The award, established in 1969, recognizes Americans who have performed exceptional deeds but may not have received national attention for it. The 18 recipients were chosen from thousands of people nominated by the public.
Mr. Obama praised each of the recipients, noting that Adam Burke, an Iraq combat veteran and Purple Heart recipient, "more than earned the right to just focus on himself" after returning from combat. Instead, in 2009 he opened "Veterans Farm," a 19-acre, handicap-accessible farm to help veterans earn a living and find healing in the land.
The late Jeanne Manford, who died just last month, co-founded Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) in 1972 after her son was beaten up during a gay rights demonstration. In that time, "there was a lot of hate, a lot of vitriol towards gays and lesbians," Mr. Obama said, praising Manford's actions.
Mr. Obama became visibly emotional when talking about the Sandy Hook teachers, saying the six women "gave all they had for the most innocent and helpless among us."
The full list of recipients is available here.

The other day I found a rainbow lorikeet on the road. It was hurt or something. Few chest feathers message, little bit around the neck. I think it was tame or owned by someone before because it climbed up my arm and only my shoulder almost instantly. I got a decent sized cage, wet foot, dry food, a bell, a fruit hanger thing and some water for it. Is there anything I should know about lorikeets that isn't immediately obvious? I used to have a budgie when I was younger. His name was Tommy. He shit on my easter egg once.
This is my dog. He is 13 years old and he's been given about a month to live. I have been taking pictures of him for the past 10 years, dressed up and in different locations in the U.S. This year he can hardly move and I would love to make a calendar of him at different places all over the world. I don't have photoshop, so if anyone with experience can help photoshop him in front of different landmarks all over the world that would be greatly appreciated. This will probably be his last calendar, so I want it to be awesome. Thank you
So I'm poor as fuck and my cats been having allergy problems since summer. I live in the middle of nowhere and the vet here costs a fortune just to visit. I have some stuff for my other cat that had the same problem and it's like some cream shit you rub on its eye and the stuff isn't expired. I'm afraid of using it though because I don't want to hurt my cat but I don't know when I could go to the vet or get the money together. He sneezes a lot and has mucus around his eyes and nose and it's scaring me a lot. I think I have an antibiotic too.
My nearly-20-year-old cat has always hated other animals, so I brought her with me to a new apartment from my mother's house. However, my cat has lived in that house for nearly 20 years, and I'm not sure how to get her used to the idea of this apartment. I feel like she's waiting to go back home. Also, even though she always hated the other animals, I'm getting the impression that she enjoyed having animals to hate. She spends a lot of time laying underneath my bed instead of in my lap.

Try to at least have some familiar furniture layouts she can retreat to. I'm sure you have some blankets and mats she laid on from the old place, so just distribute those as appropriate. I mean, besides this and the obvious stuff the depend on schedules, like feeding and grooming, just give the cat time.
It takes a lot of time for them to adjust. If you can leave some blankets dirty and cat furniture dirty that helps. I've also left some of the cat litter dirty when moving the cat so that way they can smell their litter and recognize it easier.

Governor Signs Nuclear Waste Bill
Governor Gray Davis has signed one bill about nuclear waste, creating standards for the state´s first low-level nuclear waste facility. Two other bills concerning radioactive waste are still on Davis´ desk. One would require an inventory of low-level nuclear waste stored in California, including hospitals and laboratories that produce the waste. The other bill would ban the dumping of any debris with residual radioactivity at municipal landfills.

I know firsthand how difficult it is to learn programming whether you are a total newbie, or trying to change careers, but I have overcame these challenges myself and will guide you to overcome them too. I also have 10 years of tutoring experience to both children and adults alike.

Around December of last year, I discovered that my heart was not into blog writing. I sent Haley an email and explained my feelings and that I was actually passionate about screenwriting. She wrote back and I discovered this was right (or write) up her alley. Truth be told, as a nine year-old I used to write and direct 8 mm movies with my neighborhood friends as actors and dreamed one day of becoming a writer, producer and director. But like all other dreams this one was derailed.
Haley had me write a couple scene samples. She sent them back to me and was quite pleased with my neophyte attempt. I told her about a sci-fi television project that I wast interested in and after many months of her encouragement and my persistence I finished the first draft.
After some revisions, I watched her perform a table read by Skype utilizing the skills of her improvisation students. I loved watching their reaction as they each read their part. It is very gratifying watching some one become the character you created. It was intended to be funny and campy. There were times the actors seemed to have trouble containing their laughter. Overall their reaction was positive.
At this juncture, Haley is helping me with query letters and obtaining input from other professionals in her inner circle. She is also seeking input from other writers.
The most important thing is I enjoy screenwriting no matter what happens. Haley has helped me love what I'm doing and it is not chore but sweet ride.
I'm greatful for her guidance,

About I’m Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness the publisher writes, “Austin Channing Brown’s first encounter with a racialized America came at age 7, when she discovered her parents named her Austin to deceive future employers into thinking she was a white man. Growing up in majority-white schools, organizations, and churches, Austin writes, ‘I had to learn what it means to love blackness,’ a journey that led to a lifetime spent navigating America’s racial divide as a writer, speaker and expert who helps organizations practice genuine inclusion.”
You can find copies of the book at the Mahoning (e-book) and Trumbull County libraries, YSU Maag Library via OhioLink, from the publisher, and at the YSU Barnes & Noble.

Bogus Paper Claims Antioxidants Make Cancers Worse
by Tony Isaacs
(The Best Years in Life)
The lamestream media and
mainstream medicine crowd were awash
with headlines recently about a paper
published in the New England Journal of
Medicine (NEJM) which proposes that
antioxidants could make cancers worse.
Eating foods rich in antioxidants is bad
for you? What utter bullcrap – and
apparently yet another attempt to turn
people away from nature.
“(The study authors) PROPOSE why antioxidant supplements MIGHT not be working to reduce cancer development, and why they MAY actually do more harm than good.” (Emphasis added).
The previous studies the authors used to come up with what amounts to a blanket condemnation of all antioxidants were actually studies only on a tiny number of antioxidants and were mostly petri dish (in vitro) and rodent studies. More critically, the studies did not use natural whole food derived antioxidants but rather synthetic petrochemical coal tar derivatives – as has been the case with virtually every mainstream study on vitamins which have shown no benefits and even potential harm. Funny thing about our natural bodies: Things not found in nature, including mainstream chemo and other drugs and fake vitamins are recognized by our bodies as toxins and can indeed be harmful.

Serena Williams is one of the greatest tennis players of all time, but there were times where she had to play through severe headaches. Williams recently sat down with PEOPLE and revealed she has been dealing with "debilitating migraines." She said she started experiencing the migraines in her 20s while she was practicing.
"Migraine isn't a knee injury — it's something you can't physically see," Williams said. "You can't really say, 'Oh, Dad, I have a migraine. I'm going to stop playing. 'People are like, 'I don't see swelling. I don't see bruising. Tough it out.' I got used to playing through the pain." Williams also mentioned that when she lost to Martina Hingis in a 2001 match in Sydney, she revealed she had a migraine. However, she never admitted to migraines being the cause of her losing games.
For the most part, Williams has been able to deal with the migraines because they have not been persistent. However, when the COVID-19 pandemic began, she said her migraine attacks seemed to happen daily. "I was dealing with a lot of stress and unknown factors and things that I wasn't used to, and so I think that was contributing to my migraine attacks and making them more frequent," Williams said.
This led to Williams going to the doctor who prescribed here with Ubrelvy, a drug that can relieve pain during a migraine attack. It worked so well that she has even signed on as a spokeswoman. "As a respected athlete, entrepreneur, and mother who pushed boundaries time and again, Serena is the perfect fit to help us raise awareness within the migraine community as she navigates life with migraine alongside a very busy lifestyle," Aimee Lenar, VP of marketing for AbbVie's U.S. central nervous system business, said in a press release.
As Williams manages her migraines, she is getting ready for the U.S. Open, which will begin Aug. 31. Back in June, Williams announced she is playing in the first major tennis tournament since the pandemic began. Williams has won 23 grand slam titles in her career, including six U.S. Open championships.
"I really cannot wait to return in New York and play the US Open 2020," Williams said via ESPN. "I feel like the USTA is going to do a really good job of ensuring everything is amazing and everything is perfect and everyone is safe. It's going to be exciting."

One of Simona Halep’s biggest motivations to win Wimbledon was to get a life-time membership of the coveted All England Club. Before the final, she had hoped that the Duchess of Cambridge would cheer for her from the Royal Box.
On Sunday, her tennis was just as regal and majestic, as she dispatched seven-time winner Serena Williams 6-2, 6-2 in just 56 minutes to clinch her first Wimbledon and second Major title. She is now the first Romanian to win the singles crown at SW19. The mercurial Ilie Nastase was a two-time finalist in 1972 and 1976.
“Have you ever played a better match,” Halep was asked after the victory. “Never,” was the pat answer. “It was my mum’s dream. When I was 10 or 12 she had told me that If I had to do something in tennis, I had to play the Wimbledon final. So, thanks to my mum,” 27-year-old said with a wide grin.
For Serena, it was a third successive loss in a Major final since her return from maternity and she is still one short of Margaret Court’s record of 24 Majors. If the defeat hurt, the 37-year-old hid it rather well, wholesome as she was in her praise for Halep.

“She literally played out of her mind,” Serena said. “It was a little bit of ‘deer in the headlights’ for me. Whenever a player plays that amazing you have got doff your hat. I don’t think I could have done anything differently. Simona played her heart out. May be one thing I can learn is to be like her.”
Just that Serena wasn’t allowed to even be half as good. Piling pressure early on is something Serena excels at. On Saturday it was Halep, on her first Wimbledon final, who started at a frenetic pace. She was up 5-1 in no time, racking up eight winners to zero unforced errors. She was at her counter-punching best – she is, after all, clay-court natural – and guessed nearly every Serena shot right.
Two points in her hold from 5-2 to take the set provided a snapshot of the whole match. At 15-15, Serena sent a powerful cross-court backhand – accompanied with a huge unnerving cry – that would have been beyond most players’ reach. Halep went scurrying after and pulled the ball back at such an extreme angle that Serena couldn’t get it beyond the net. The next point was a near-repeat, this time ending with a volley landing beyond the baseline.
“She was getting so many balls back,” Serena said. “I generally have a strategy for players who do that. But today I just thought about it far too late.”
It was not just Halep’s defence that stood out. After she broke to go 3-2 up in the second set, Serena pressured her serve. But from 15-30 she landed two perfect serves to wriggle out of trouble. Three more in the eighth game, gave her the match. Overall, she won 34 of 46 service points and had just three unforced errors to Serena’s 26. It was Wimbledon performance that would have made her great American opponent proud.

Building permit fees could rise 20 percent or more for contractors and homeowners under a proposal to boost revenue for the city of Medford.
"There's not going to be any fee that we like," said Carlos Reichenshammer, chief executive officer of the Home Builders Association of Jackson County. "We're going to have to pass it on to the customer."
Reichenshammer said he wasn't aware of a proposal to increase fees by the Medford Building Department, which has cut its staff by more than 50 percent — from 18 full-time workers five years ago to seven now.
The City Council reviewed the fee increases Thursday at a study session but didn't take any formal action to approve them. A public hearing could be held in January.
Councilor Chris Corcoran questioned the need for increased fees, saying he needed more information.
"We need to bring this back for debate," he said.
Councilor Bob Strosser said he wanted to make sure local builders were aware of the proposal.
A minimum fee for typical construction inspections could rise from $50 to $60 under the proposal, which will be considered by the City Council at a later date.
On a 2,000-square-foot house, more complicated structural permit fees would rise from $784 to $972, a 24-percent increase. In Oregon, the average fee for this permit is $1,046.
Electrical permit fees could rise by 30 percent.
Chris Reising, director of the Medford Building Department, said revenues have not kept pace with costs, even though he has reduced staff.
He said permits have increased but the type of construction hasn't generated enough additional dollars. As a result, the building department has been dipping into reserves.
The department is running low on reserves to maintain it, he said.
Looking ahead, Reising said he isn't encouraged by construction activity despite a recent uptick.
"I'm getting really nervous looking at the economy," Reising said.
His staff is at the minimum level necessary to run a building department, he said. He has been hiring contract workers to take over some inspection activity.
Reising told the council he would make sure local builders became aware of the fee increase proposal.
The last time fees were increased for building permits was in 2011, when they were raised 5 percent.
Reichenshammer said he would bring the fee proposal up at the next board meeting of the Home Builders Association next week.
He said he was particularly concerned about the 30-percent hike in electrical fees.
Roy Wall, a Medford contractor since 1988, said he would oppose the fee hikes, particularly because the construction industry has taken such a beating during the recession.
"Property values went down, and they just want to jack up the fees," he said.
On the other hand, he understands the economic downturn has been difficult on the building department. He said he also understands that it needs a minimal staff to continue to operate effectively.
"With construction being down, they've got to get their money somewhere," he said.

SAN DIEGO, CA -- A group of ultra-rich protesters pulled up in their stretch limo and joined the festivities as the Tea Party Express kicked off its national tour in San Diego, California on Sunday, October 25, 2009.
The group, which reportedly consisted of individuals made incredibly rich on US health care industry profits, made dozens of new friends among the throngs of tea party attendees and even earned a shout-out from one of the event's organizers.
The signs waved by the well-off protesters opposed health care reform and encouraged Congress and the public to continue putting a priority on protecting the interests of health care industry profiteers. "Thanks to all of the average folks who put our profits ahead of their own interests by opposing health care reform," said Diana Von Death Panel, a member of the group. "Keep the tea parties coming!"

Encounters with Nature
Autobiographical zine told through vignettes of encounters with creatures including ants, a bearded fireworm, horeshoe crabs, birds, deer, fruit bats and many more. The zine explores different themes, such as regret, transformation, ethics and magnificence. A quiet and queer zine.
"I am in Germany for a period of time, feeling deeply alone and preoccupied with a lover. I am supposed to be more sociable than I feel so I make excuses and take long train journeys across the land as a means of making time to be by myself. It is spring and there are many hares in the fields as the train goes by. Hares are my favourites. They're not cute like rabbits, they run and fight, their legs are long, holding them high off the ground, they are mystical and lovely in art. I get to my destination, walk to the beach and lie face down in the sand for several hours, fully clothed, in a restless sleep."

The Board of the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) has approved the transfer of a 16,653 square foot parcel of land adjacent to Thurgood Marshall Plaza, a 13-story seniors-only building in Harlem, to the School Construction Authority (SCA) for a mixed-use project that will include a combined middle and high school. The building will house a new 570-seat facility for the Community Health Academy of the Heights, as well as a community health clinic. Construction will begin by fall 2009 and is projected to finish in time for the start of the 2012-13 school-year.
"This is a win-win situation for everyone," said NYCHA Chairman John B. Rhea. "Everyone is on board for this project: the residents of Marshall Plaza, the community, NYCHA and the School Construction Authority, and the 570 children who will benefit from a new environment conducive to their learning. This approval is consistent with NYCHA's commitment to use our properties to serve the community and getting the most value for our developments," he added.
The Marshall Plaza site, located between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenues and 157th to 158th Streets, will serve as a new facility for the Community Health Academy of the Heights, which will be moving into the space from a smaller, temporary facility. The building will also house the Community Health League Health Center, a clinic that will be operated by the non-profit Community Healthcare Network. The facility will include a top-floor gymnasium.
"We're very pleased that we've been able to reach an agreement with NYCHA that will help to bring a brand new school building to Upper Manhattan," School Construction Authority President Sharon Greenberger said. "This is part of our work across New York City to construct new school buildings, and ensure that students are learning in facilities that are state-of-the-art."
The property is currently a playground, a parking area for six cars, and a portion of the landscaped grounds serving the housing development. The property will be purchased from NYCHA by the SCA for $5.2 million, the fully-appraised value of the land. None of the development's six existing parking spaces will be lost; they will be relocated and maintained as part of the facility by SCA under an agreement for the benefit of NYCHA residents.
Earlier this summer, NYCHA again demonstrated its commitment to education when plans for the location of Coney Island Preparatory School at NYCHA's Carey Gardens Community Center moved forward. The charter school will be the first in the City to open in a public housing development. It will utilize the second floor of the community center, with access to the gym and a computer room as well as some shared space used by an after-school program.
"When we have a piece of land that can be developed as either affordable housing or for educational purposes and we get fair-market value for our property, then we have scored a major victory," Rhea said. "The seniors at Marshall Plaza got on board early with the concept of the use of the land for an educational and healthcare facility and worked with NYCHA, local elected officials and other stakeholders to make it happen," Rhea added.
NYCHA, aside from providing safe and affordable housing for low-to-moderate income New Yorkers, has a significant positive impact on the City's economy. On average NYCHA attracts over $3 billion in federal funds to be spent locally in operating programs and maintaining properties. Of these federal funds, $817 million are paid directly to approximately 30,000 local landlords participating in the Section 8 program.

Victorian hospitals have identified three new superbugs that may leave the patients at life-threatening infection risk. The findings of the study are published in the journal Nature Microbiology.
Multi-drug resistant bacterium that has been spreading in various hospitals and around the world was found by a research team.
‘Antibiotic-resistant superbug spread in Victorian hospitals pose serious, life-threatening infections to the patients especially those who have a weak immune system.
Dr. Jean Lee, the lead author of the research, says that the bacteria found on the humans' skin can penetrate the body on medical devices and form a layer that protects it from drugs and the immune system.
The study revealed that Staphylococcus epidermidis
could infect people who have an impaired immune system or those who have implanted prosthetic materials, such as joint replacements and catheters.
"If we're not able to get on top of the infection because the bacteria isn't reacting to the antibiotics then it's potentially life-threatening," Dr. Lee stated.
Staphylococcus epidermidis made a small modification in its DNA that led to resistance to two major antibiotics.
These two major antibiotics are used in a combination for treating infections as it is thought to protect one another against developing resistance. But Dr. Lee showed that this hypothesis was wrong, and the current therapy recommendations need to be reexamined.
There is no proper data regarding how many people were infected and whether there have been any deaths by the superbug at this stage.
Hundreds of Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates are studied from 78 institutions in 10 countries around the world and discovered that the three strains are resistant to nearly all antibiotics.
"In the next step, we need to go back and measure and determine the impact and start to put in interventions," Dr. Lee said.


After nine years on the job, Skanska has completed the underground Regional Connector Transit project in downtown Los Angeles.
The Skanska-led joint venture with Traylor Bros won the design-build contract from LA Metro in April 2014
The $1.8bn project saw the contractors excavate 5,795 feet (1,766m) of twin, 21-foot-diameter tunnels using a Herrenknecht Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), and lay 1.9 miles of new track to carry light rail trains between Union Station and the busy 7th Street/Metro Center Station in LA’s Financial District.
They built three underground stations, each 400 feet in length and varying in depth from 40 to 112 feet.
The Connector will shorten commute times by as much as 20 minutes. It will serve 88,000 metro riders and is expected to attract 17,000 new ones.
The project included one of the largest caverns ever excavated in Los Angeles, which required technology and materials the county had never used before.
A sequential segmented array system monitored the potential ground loss to provide real-time feedback to the TBM operator.
Building information modeling (BIM) helped the team review obstructions with station structures, appendages, foundations, and utilities.
“The completion of the Regional Connector is a big accomplishment for the Skanska team,” said Mike Aparicio, executive vice president Skanska USA Civil’s West Coast operations. “While the project consisted of many technically complicated components, the project team was able to work through the challenges in a timely manner.”

Hummus with tahini
What kind of ingredients do I need to prepare healthy homemade hummus for babies?
Hummus as a bread spread or vegetable dip? Sounds great! You can add chickpeas and tahini to my diet as soon as you start expanding it. Prepare hummus at home because store-bought one will surely contain salt and other unnecessary additives which should not be included in my diet.
Chickpeas are an excellent source of iron and they also contain a moderate amount of vitamin C which helps to absorb iron. Hummus is a source of healthy fats thanks to sesame paste which contains unsaturated fatty acids.

Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has urged Babar Azam-led Pakistan to take some bold calls without fearing and come out of their losing mindset.
Pakistan will be up against their arch-rivals India for the second time in the ongoing Asia Cup Sunday (September 4th). Both teams will be playing their first fixture of the Super-4 after qualifying from Group A.
Pakistan suffered a five wickets defeat in their game against India in the Group stage last week. It was Hardik Pandya who emerged as the hero for the Men in blue, who took three wickets with the ball and scored an unbeaten 33 runs off 17 to snatch the victory in the last over.
Pakistan need to come out of the losing mindset: Wasim Akram
Akram shed light on his views about Pakistan’s approach ahead of the big clash on Sunday.
“Pakistan need to come out of the losing mindset. Being a Pakistani, I want Pakistan to win but the Indian team is coming from a win. They also have Jadeja injured, him and Pandya won the match and promoted Jadeja. We must take these types of risks too. It is not mandatory that batters bat at the same number,” Akram said on Cricket Pakistan’s YouTube channel.
Akram further added how Babar and the think tank should come out of the fear of losing. To beat a team like India they need to move on from the losing mindset and take bold steps which can turn the game their way.
“If five overs are remaining, Asif must come. I hope I am wrong, but Pakistan needs to get out of a losing mindset. Maybe it is because of us as we make memes on social media. One must do healthy criticism, give solutions and then move on.”
“Changing opening pair in the middle of the tournament is not ideal,” said Akram.
Wasim Akram against Pakistan changing the opening pair
There has been constant chaos over the intent and aggressiveness of the two Pakistani openers, Babar and Mohammad Rizwan early in the innings. Many have suggested that Fakhar Zaman open and Babar bat at number three but Akram does not agree with them.
“Babar and Rizwan are opening the innings for the last one and a half years. Fakhar was a natural opener but when Rizwan started doing well, he started playing at No.3. Changing the opening pair during the tournament is not ideal,” he concluded.
Pakistan and India will play in their first game of the Super 4 stage on Sunday evening at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

EXCLUSIVE: IM Global will commence pre-sales at Cannes on Martin Scorsese’s Silence as the Oscar-winning director gears up for a trip to the Croisette and mulls over a second deal with the same parties for The Irishman.
Stuart Ford’s IM Global reunited recently with Access Industries chief Len Blavatnik to acquire international rights to Scorsese’s long-gestating tale of 17th century missionaries in Japan after Emmett/Furla committed to finance the project.
Ford and sales chief Jonathan Deckter will kick off talks on the prestige title during the market. Silence is based on the acclaimed 1960s novel by Shusaku Endo. WME Global represents US rights.
Blavatnik and IM Global collaborated at last year’s market on sell-out The Butler, however the Russian-born billionaire’s team will play no part in actively selling Silence, contrary to a report elsewhere.
Meanwhile, ScreenDaily understands that the parties could all step in to replicate their roles on crime drama The Irishman, which has Robert De Niro and Al Pacino reportedly lined up to star alongside Joe Pesci.
As things stand, such a deal would only take place if Emmett/Furla options its right to finance that project too. Steve Zaillian adapted the screenplay from author Charles Brandt’s book I Heard You Paint Houses, however sources said it would be too soon to introduce The Irishman to buyers.
IM Global did not return calls to comment on the story.

Not Just Carbs & Creams, Pasta Is Art
Buon giorno foodies! Although spring has sprung and we have waved the last of our goodbyes to soups and scarves, there must be an exception that should linger a little longer; pasta. And what better way to learn than from the Italian wonder chef Lucio Galleto himself? Combining his passions of both food and art, ‘The Art of Pasta’ is filled with 160 authentic pasta recipes, written by Lucio Galletto & David Dale complimented with artwork by the very talented Luke Sciberras and photography by Anson Smart.
Raised in the Northern Italian region of Liguria, Chef Lucio Galletto is from a family of restaurateurs and proudly continues the family tradition of producing sophisticated Italian food to media and political luminaries and artists.
Confident in his belief that it was the Italians who perfected the art of pasta making, Lucio Galletto swallows his pride early in the book and sets the record straight on the history of pasta, admitting that the origins of fresh pasta lie with the Greeks “who passed it on to the Etruscans and the Romans some 3000 years ago.” With fond childhood memories of fresh pasta and family cooking, Lucio Galletto emphasizes to readers that participation in food preparation is one of life’s little pleasures that everybody should try.
Galletto teams with cowriter David Dale, journalist and writer, to provide essential tips and tricks for an array of pastas; their combined knowledge in ‘The Art of Pasta’ makes for a cookbook that promises to be the new best friend of any foodie with a penchant for Italian. This book is a ready assist and possible problem solver for any difficulties that may occur during the trial and error of authentic pasta making from scratch.
Another worthy pasta consultant is Executive Chef at Lucio’s, Logan Campbell, who also makes an appearance throughout the book. Contributing some contemporary interpretations on classic pasta dishes for the more adventurous cook, Campbell is as persistent as Galletto in pushing the theme of experimentation and having an open mind in the kitchen: “It was also my intention to push the boundaries a little with some of my recipes here, so that you might increase your confidence and be inspired to try new things.”
With dishes like the mind-blowing potato gnocchi with gorgonzola and pistachios, who could say no? However, it’s not all carbs and creams. This book also includes a variety of soups, broths and sauces to add to the piece of little Italy you have just rolled out of the pasta machine. From Lucio Galletto’s signature pesto (fondly referred to as the ‘king of sauces’) to a light veal and pork tortellini in chicken broth, all recipes within ‘The Art of Pasta’ are absolutely mouthwatering.
For those who prefer, homemade pasta without sauce is also covered in colourful springtime dishes such as the savoury beetroot ravioli, an unusually delicious mixture of beetroot, ricotta and pecorino dressed with melted butter and poppy seeds or the rigatoni with calabrian pesto, a spicy version of pesto gaining its heat and fiery appeal from its use of red chillies and capsicum. The green pappardelle with Balmain bugs contains a gorgeous mixture of lobster and wide ribbon pasta, simplistic in both preparation and cooking and serves as more of a broth than pasta. Rest assured, you will be certain to find a dish that does not disappoint.
Whether spaghetti or orecchiette, ‘The Art of Pasta’ has a recipe for every occasion. An artistic hardback, this book is thoroughly enjoyable for amateurs and professional pasta makers alike and clever décor for the kitchen when not in use. In the form of one Lucio Galletto, “buon appetito e buon divertimento!” Enjoy the food and enjoy the view.
Sample Recipes from 'The Art of Pasta'
We’ve described some delicious dishes, though if you’re not completely convinced there are three you can try out before purchasing this spring release from Penguin Lantern. Directly from the pages of ‘The Art of Pasta’, you can try:
Rigatoni al Pesto Calabrese, "In the southern Italian region of Calabria they like it hot, and this fantastic version of pesto is fiery in both taste and colour."
Fusilli alle Seppie e Piselli, "If you cannot buy the cuttlefish already cleaned, it is easy to do at home – messy, but easy."
Ravioli con Uova D’anatra, "This dish is a play on some classic flavours - eggs, asparagus and truffles."

Wallace won't be on GOP primary ballot
The Indiana Election Commission ruled Friday that Republican gubernatorial hopeful Jim Wallace will not be on the ballot in the primary.
To be on the primary ballot for governor in Indiana, a candidate must have 500 certified signatures from each congressional district. Businessman Jim Wallace only had 486 signatures affirmed in Marion County. But Wallace argued that Marion County’s system was flawed and failed to certify signatures that were valid. Election Commission chairman Dan Dumezich says Wallace didn’t do enough to prove that.
“I haven’t heard any testimony today that would leave me to believe that the 486 is not an accurate count.”
The Commission voted three to one to deny Wallace a place on the ballot. Wallace says he takes ultimate responsibility for his failure to get on the ballot, but indicates the battle isn’t over.
“We’re going to investigate our options. There’s a method for judicial process here and we’re going to take a look at what our options are, but we’re disappointed.”
Challenges to Republican presidential candidates Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, President Barack Obama, GOP gubernatorial candidate Mike Pence and Senator Richard Lugar were all denied by the Commission. They will each be on the ballot.
