7 Things You Probably Didn't Already Know About George Washington University
Journalism and Spanish major at GWU and future law student.…
GWU is obviously an outstanding university and while there are many programs and alumni known all over the world, there are some facts even students aren't aware of. Keep reading for things you probably didn't already know about George Washington University.
1. Our hospital saved President Reagan's life.
When Reagan was shot in 1981, he was taken to the George Washington University Hospital, where he was stabilized prior to surgery. Our medical center is also credited with saving the life of his press secretary.
2. The first American to be targeted and killed by drone went to GW.
Anwar al-Awlaki was born in New Mexico in 1971 to Yemeni parents. In 2001, he worked on a doctorate in Human Resource Development at GW, though he never completed the degree. He became a top al-Qaeda recruiter, and was killed in a drone strike in 2011.
Also on al-Awlaki: His 8 year-old daughter was one of those killed in Trump's Yemen raid.
3. On a lighter note, the George Washington statute in U-Yard has a twin in England.
Jean-Antoine Houdon made the original statue, which is in the VA Capitol. Several copies were made, one of which sits on our campus. Another early copy is in Trafalgar Square in London. The story goes that since Washington swore he would never set foot on English soil again, the statue was placed on soil imported from Virginia.
4. One of GW's former residence halls was the HQ for the Watergate break-in.
The Hall on Virginia Avenue (which we sold in 2016) used to be the Howard Johnson Motor Lodge. In 1972, Watergate burglars used rooms there to monitor the break-in and listen to tapped footage from the DNC.
5. Our NCAA bowl game record is 1-0.
Sorry to everyone who has the "Colonial Football: Still Undefeated" shirts, but that's not true, because we actually did have a football team, from 1881 – 1966 (was scrapped because it wasn't profitable like basketball was for us). We won the Sun Bowl in 1956 against Texas Western. So unfortunately, we actually were defeated 252 times: just never in a bowl.
6. We haven't always been the Buff and Blue Colonials.
Our original colors were actually blue and orange (boo), but we changed them to match George's famous uniform. We didn't become the Colonials until the late 1920's, and George didn't become our official mascot until 1948. We were previously referred to as the Buff and Blue, and our sports teams were called the "Hatchetites" for a time ("Colonial" doesn't sound so bad now, does it?).
7. GW was the backdrop for the discovery of nuclear fission.
The first atom was not split at our university, but the major announcement was here. George Gamow, a former Russian physicist we recruited to help our science program, insisted on holding regular conferences on theoretical physics. The fifth such conference saw the announcement of nuclear fission, and many of those Gamow invited ended up working on the Manhattan Project.
Hopefully you learned some cool facts about G-Dub, but at the very least, next time someone says "well my school makes pro athletes," just say "Kerry Washington" and walk away.
Were you surprised by this list of things you probably didn't already know about George Washington University?

Female-Founded Startups Everyone Should Know About
Startups making the most of an ever-evolving digital world are popping up everywhere, but only the very best make it. Finding funding, however, appears to be more difficult for women - with venture capitalists investing just $1.46 billion in 2016 for female-founded startups. If that figure sounds like a lot, it isn't.

Infection with spinal instrumentation: A 20-year, single-institution experience with review of pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention, and management

Objective and Importance: Instrumentation has become an integral component in the management of various spinal pathologies. The rate of infection varies from 2% to 20% of all instrumented spinal procedures. Postoperative spinal implant infection places patients at risk for pseudo-arthrosis, correction loss, spondylodiscitis, and adverse neurological sequelae and increases health-care costs. Materials and Methods: We performed a cohort study of 1065 patients who underwent instrumented spinal procedures in our institution between 1995 and 2014. Fifty-one patients (4.79%) contracted postoperative spinal infection. Isolated bacterial species, infection severity, diagnosis/treatment timing, surgical/medical strategy treatment, and patient's medical background were evaluated to assess their relationship with management outcome. Results: Multiple risk factors for postoperative spinal infection were identified. Infections may be early or delayed. C-reactive protein and magnetic resonance imaging are important diagnostic tools. Prompt diagnosis and aggressive therapy (debridement and parenteral antibiotics) were responsible for implant preservation in 49 of 51 cases, whereas implant removal noted in two cases was attributed to delayed treatment and uncontrolled infection with implant loosening or late infection with spondylodesis. Infection in the setting of instrumentation is more difficult to diagnose and treat due to biofilm. Conclusion: Retention of the mechanically sound implants in early-onset infection permits fusion to occur, whereas delayed treatment and multiple comorbidities will most likely result in a lack of effectiveness in eradicating the infecting pathogens. An improved understanding of the role of biofilm and the development of newer spinal implants has provided insight into the pathogenesis and management of infected spinal implants. It is important to accurately identify and treat postoperative spinal infections. The treatment is multimodal and prolonged.
Keywords: Biofilm, infection, instrumentation, spinal surgery

STEVE Skakel was amused, puzzled and, yes, outraged when he saw his brother's life on television last night in a movie called "Murder In Greenwich" – based on the book by former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman.
"The first thing I noticed was that the person who played Mark Fuhrman, Christopher Meloni, was actually not as good-looking in real life as Mark Fuhrman is really," said Steve Skakel.
Steve Skakel is the brother of Michael Skakel, convicted in June of the 1975 Martha Moxley murder.
"We have this gentleman, disgraced former Los Angeles police officer, Mark Fuhrman, who some say helped get O.J. Simpson off a horrific crime.
"Here is a gentleman who took the Fifth Amendment five times in that terrible case.
"And he writes a book and suddenly the state of Connecticut looks at the best-seller list in The New York Times and suddenly wants to convict my brother in that terrible murder."
There was no moment of sadness – only incredulity.
"There are topless women, there is my brother wearing a red cowboy hat, there are beautiful women in a spa swimming pool. Where was I then?
"I understand that you take liberties in movies, but it had no resemblance to the home I grew up in."
Then Skakel got a little angry with Hollywood's license.
"I hope the producers all make a buck and tomorrow have to look in the mirror when they shave.
"This thing is a thorn in my eyes."
Then Steve Skakel got serious: "The truth is, this will be examined by scholars. And of course they will find that there was not a scintilla of evidence that even remotely connected my brother to the murder, other than that he knew this wonderful young lady.
"I don't mind Mr. Fuhrman making a buck. But you have to understand my brother is looking at a lot of time in jail away from the love of his life, his son, 4-year-old George, for something he didn't do.
"In what world – the old Soviet Union, China, Afghanistan, even Iraq – does a person get convicted where there is no eyewitness, no DNA, no fingerprints, no evidence, nothing? Tell me."
I can't tell him.

The Grant Dobson Case Competition is back on Mar. 4, and with this event comes tougher oppositions, leadership, as well as an immense amount of teamwork and collaboration.
The Department of Communication, Popular Culture and Film (CPCF) has been hosting this competition for the last ten years, providing students the opportunity to learn about modern day marketing, advertising and mass media challenges. It also serves as a means for students to have experience in strategic implementation of their ideas and gain greater insight into the field of marketing and advertising.
The challenge itself asks students from the CPCF department or the Goodman School of Business to gather a group of two to four other participants and submit a written report of how they plan on attracting and retaining the next generation of business travellers in the Greater Toronto Area.
"When I initiated the Dobson competition over a decade ago, it was a unique practice. Now, case competitions are popular in every field of business and student participation at Brock keeps growing each year," said Dr. Sharon Broderick, Professor at The Goodman School of Business.
15 teams submitted a report, with judges choosing the following three teams to move forward in the competition:
Team 1: Lauren Goetz, Greg Jennings, Deanna Martan and Sultana Naimi
Team 2: Tina Vanderlinden, Shannon O'Rourke and Michael Sibbins
Team 3: Josh Hall, Zurain Malik, Lashkar Dehal and Dayna Stephenson
During the competition, the teams will have 20 minutes to make their pitch to a panel of judges, with a question period following each presentation. Goodman students and competition finalists, Dehal and Stephenson, are looking forward to competing together alongside their teammates.
"The biggest challenge that I think we faced as a team was agreeing on an idea. Between the four of us, there were times when we didn't see eye-to-eye. We definitely had some very lengthy discussions about which direction we should move in and compromises had to be made," said Dehal. "Either way, what I'm most looking forward to is winning. Not to discredit my competitors' abilities at all but I'm just extremely confident that our team will succeed."
"When I was in the Dobson Case Competition two years ago, my team member and I hadn't even finished a Marketing class. We had no idea what we were doing. However, diving into this competition without any experience is what made it so memorable," said Stephenson. "Our team this year has already begun to prepare with regular meetings, which consist of working on our presentation and building supportive relationships with each other."
This event will be taking place alongside the Terry O'Malley lecture, which is scheduled for the same day, featuring Brock graduate Greg Plata (BSM '08). Plata, who is the Team Lead for Sponsorship and Experiential Marketing at WestJet, will be presenting on "Taking flight with WestJet: How a Christmas Miracle(s) Helped Break the Marketing World". First-place winners of the competition will take home $2,000, with second-place and third-place being awarded $1,200 and $800, respectively. The Mark Smyka Presentation Award of $250 will also be presented that day.
Tickets to Greg Plata's lecture are free; however, reservations must be made in advance. To reserve your tickets, call the Centre of the Arts Box Office at (905) 688-5550 x3257. For more information about the competition, follow #DobsonBuzz on Twitter or visit brocku.ca/social-sciences/departments-and-centres/cpcf/links/Dobson.

Style & Fashion
As the Italian stallion celebrates its 90th birthday, we pick the shoes and cases that made them kings
As the Italian stallion celebrates its 90th birthday, we pick the shoes and cases that made them kings
Instead of hiring a stylist, you might be better off asking the bellboy for style advice. While working at London's Savoy Hotel, Guccio Gucci was inspired by the guests and their luxurious travel goods to return to his hometown, Florence, and start his own shop, selling leather hand-crafted travel goods. Ninety years on, it's a world-famous luxury brand. Here are our 10 of our favourite Gucci products for men that helped turn the bellboy into a style authority.
Horsebit loafers Shoes make the man – and have done for Gucci since 1953, demanded by international celebrities from Francis Ford Coppola to Alain Delon. But it's not just celebrities with a shoe fetish – the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York displays the must-have loafer, the only shoe in their collection. Interlocking G-buckle belt Guccio Gucci made sure that everybody would remember his name by using his initials – the world-famous interlocking G's – as a buckle on belts and accessories in 1946. Today the interlocking G belts are still among the label's best-selling products. Bamboo briefcase Pandas had been trying to tell mankind for years – but in 1947 Gucci realized that there are few things more attractive than bamboo, and started using the material as handles for their bags. The dark brown leather briefcase, with bamboo handle and key holder made every nine to fiver sit up and take notice. Acquariva by Gucci It takes more than bamboo and horsebit loafers to satisfy the hunger of a luxury addict – but a customized yacht will take care of that. In celebration of the 90th anniversary, Gucci creative director Frida Giannini customized the famous Acquariva yacht with signature Gucci green-red-green on the floating line, and the brand's signature "Guccissima" print on the sundeck. This dolce vita vehicle comes with two 380-horsepower Yanmar engines, and reaches a maximum speed of 41 knots. Seventies tote If you're not so keen on displaying Guccio's initials, the Seventies collection bags are your go-to accessories. The vintage-inspired tote allows you to personalize your bag with your own initials in gold. Laptop bag+sleeve The second worst thing in life to scorn is your laptop. The black leather notebook bag and sleeve make sure that you and your precious gadget compliment each other in the most fashionable way possible. 500 by Gucci Besides gelatos and occasional political scandals, Italians also have a thing for cars. Gucci customized the the classic Fiat 500 model, and, well, we loved it. Interlocking G trolley The Gucci empire was initially created to sell leather hand-crafted goods, but due to material shortage during World War II, the brand used other materials. The trolley with interlocking G combines the original Gucci travel-spirit, with the modern day use of brown hardware, and is a great way to steal the show at the airport. Gucci Guilty Being guilty has never smelled this good. The fragrance is ideal for a night of happy hunting at a club, or to add a subtle touch of class at a dinner-date. 1921 Collection travel suitcase A timeless look if ever there was one. The dark brown leather travel suitcases with Diamante pattern are part of the brand new 1921 Collection, which pays homage to the brand's history. Ideal for a short trip, the suitcase sums up why we still care, 90 years on. See also: Flirt on facebook with Gucci Jay-Z decoded Stay fashionable at home with Mr. Porter

Pierluigi Mancarella
Lecturer in Future Energy Networks in the Electrical Energy and Power Systems Group, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
I was initially attracted to this role because of the possibility to actively contribute to the "energy debate" and to carry out research that could change the way we use and even understand energy.
I chose the University of Manchester because of the prestige of The University of Manchester and of the Electrical Energy and Power Systems Group in particular, which is world-renowned for over 50 years.
My main research is on "multi-energy systems" (MES), that is, a system-of-systems where different sectors and networks such as electricity, heat, cooling, fuels, transport, water, and so on, optimally interact with each other. This topic is particularly relevant in urban areas where manifold networks interact closely within districts and cities, with the potential to develop "Smart Communities" and "Smart Cities". Within the "energy debate", my research integrates the electrical "Smart Grid" research that aims at decarbonising and improving the power system sector, and could somehow be seen as the "Smart Grid beyond electricity": the final aim is in fact to decarbonise the whole energy sector, and in particular heat and transport besides electricity. In this context, I try to cover manifold perspectives of what I envisage will become the smart integrated network infrastructure of the future, including system-of-systems modelling, operational optimization, optimal planning and investment, development of new business cases, environmental analysis, and risk, reliability and resilience assessment.
On a day to day basis, I attend meetings with researchers and project partners in Manchester, UK, and abroad; supervise research and undergraduate students; write research reports and publications; lecture or prepare lectures andmark exams/coursework. I carry out administrative duties which include meetings and interactions with other members of staff and students. I especially enjoy being at the centre of a fast changing energy world and to be able to actively contribute to changing it!
I am involved in many UK and European projects with colleagues from other departments of the University, other institutions, and various companies. Project meetings and conferences are always a good opportunity to showcase my work, and I also try to exploit invited lectures and visiting positions (for instance, I'm a Visiting Professor at the Ecole Centrale de Lille, France) to spread my research. Industrial projects are also a good way to improve research visibility, particularly if the research can have a practical impact on industry, regulation and even energy policy.
My hope is that my research could contribute to changing the way we use and even understand energy, particularly in the light of passing from an energy system where sectors are mostly operated and planned in "silos" to an integrated smarter energy system where multiple sectors actively interact through advanced monitoring and control technologies as well as suitable market arrangements.
I believe that a real 'game-changer' would come from better understand how a "decentralised" multi-energy system with interactions of multiple actors and energy vectors can optimally interact with the classical "centralised" energy system where the different energy sector components are mostly planned and operated separately.

Drought-Tolerant Container Garden Ideas
Container gardens often fall victim to drought, hot temps, summer travels, or just plain forgetfulness. These drought-tolerant container gardens will stay strong through the heat of summer.
Miniature Desert
A chunk of driftwood and three types of false cypress -- 'Filicoides Compacta', 'Nana Lutea', and 'Chirmen' -- anchor this sculptural scene. The rocky foreground includes hens and chicks, Hawthornia, and Echeveria, but any small succulents will work.
Flame-tipped Euphorbia 'Sticks on Fire' erupts from the center of this volcanic-glazed bowl. It's surrounded by red-edged paddle plant (Kalanchoe thyrsiflora), Aeonium 'Kiwi', Gollum jade (Crassula ovata 'Gollum'), and sedum 'Angelina'. Pack them tight for the most dramatic effect.
A false cypress pruned into a topiary adds height and dimension to a large container. Orange sedge adds wispy, fluid texture amid Coleonema pulchellum 'Sunset Gold', and Euphorbia x martinii 'Tiny Tim'.
With its wiry flower stalks, Australian native Kangaroo paw (Anigozanthos 'Kanga Pink' is tough as steel in the heat. Pair it iwth silvery Lamium 'Purple Dragon', fuzzy scented geranium (Pelargonium 'Fragrant Frosty'), and dainty but diehard Gaura 'Belleza Dark Pink'.
Foliage and Flowers
The leathery, strappy burgundy leaves of Phormium 'Wildwood' and nonstop deep violet flower sprays of salvia 'Amistad' star in this container. Silvery Stachys 'Bella Grigio' provides dramatic contrast, and the pale purple flowers of Lantana montevidensis soften the edges. Tip: Silver and hairy foliage usually equals trought tolerance.
Drought-Tolerant Container Tactics
Rex Yarwood of Roger's Gardens offers these tips.
Pots: Conserve moisture by using a container that's slightly larger than the plants you've selected.
Soil: Use a potting soil that's formulated for succulents and other drought-friendly plants.
Like-Minded: Combine plants with similar needs. Look for word on plant tags like "water-wise", "desert native", or "drought-tolerant."
Reduce Stress: Place pots where they'll receive morning sun and afternoon shade at peak heat.
Water Early: It's better to start the day hydrated than to quench a big thirst later.
Auto Drip: Set up a drip irrigation kit designed for containers to direct water to the root zone without waste.

text: How to Pick Out the Right HVAC Contractor Posted November 22, 2017 When it comes to picking your HVAC contractor, your wish list is probably long. Reliability. Excellent service. Skilled technicians. These are all key qualities to look for in a heating contractor in Newton. So, you don't want to cut corners when it comes to your home comfort. Brookwood Inc has some tips for you to ponder when it's time to hire a professional. We take your home comfort seriously and want you to make an informed decision. Learn a little about HVAC. Before you initiate your search, gather info about your current system. Be prepared with the make and model, and its maintenance history, including any challenges you have had with it in the past. You'll also want to become familiar with the license and insurance requirements for Newton heating and air conditioning service providers. Talk to your friends and neighbors. If you can find a reputable company in Newton, that's a an excellent place to begin. Be sure to ask your friends, family and co-workers for recommendations and ask about their experiences with heating contractors. You'll learn about the most trusted contractors in the area, as well as which ones to check off the list. Compare proposals. You should ask the contractors to provide written, itemized proposals. Compare cost, energy efficiency and warranty information on the models that were recommended. It's also a good idea to request referrals from each contractor's current customers. Don't just focus on the least expensive quote—it may not be the best value. Before you make a decision, consider how all these factors will affect you and your home comfort over the years. Expect a detailed home evaluation. A solid, reputable heating and air conditioning company should perform a thorough examination of your home and your current system. This will help them understand your needs and select the system that will best meet them. If a company delivers a quote over the phone without checking out your home, it's probably a good idea to drop them out of the running. Home comfort needs are unique to each home, so just because your home is a certain amount of square footage doesn't mean a specific HVAC system is the ideal option. There's a lot more that needs be considered and evaluated during a home inspection. Go with your gut. Trust your original impression. When you first meet a heating contractor, think about the discussion. Was the contractor professional? Friendly? On time? In general, people use the same HVAC contractors every year. When you aren't treated well during your first meeting, you may need to look for another choice. You deserve the most reputable company to take care of your heating and air conditioning service. Hopefully these tips will help you find the best heating contractor for your home. If you'd like more information about how Brookwood Inc in Newton can take care of your home comfort, give us a call at 641-316-9803. Back To Blog

Oh the Internet has me posting strange things today. The first is the reflection of the truth many of us deal with...
Of Course if this truth hurts because it is real for you. Lets rub salt in the wound with beautiful people you should look up on your own time...
I have to be honest, These women make me want to consider the sister wife life style... Maybe there is something good that comes from that belief system. I just need the get approval from the first starter wife. Just in case you missed it, I did make several references to TV shows that have been on over the last year. If we all had time to shop and enjoy life, Yes we would be posting self portraits all over the web. Some of us have to work and raise children. Still Being a creative type I like pretty pictures.
BTW - these are instagram pics...
I suspect that the world we are living in is starting to be more influenced by media and how certain groups want us to be molded and conformed into... Sigh... What ever happened to the traditional ways? People clearly have no care about things that are tried and true. I suppose if you try something new - you could make it work as well.
Big Risk Big Reward - as they say.

A vital consultation is underway about the pay claim for local government for 2011. Responses were due by Friday of this week.
The offer being put forward for consultation by the Unison union is a £250 flat rate.
We have lost over 5 percent in pay in real terms over the last two years. Why should we accept further cuts?
Some people say we have to concentrate on defending jobs.
But being weak on pay doesn't make you strong on jobs. And pay has the potential to unite workers.
In my branch (Tower Hamlets) we sent a consultative ballot paper to every member, asking if they agree to the £250 claim—or one of at least a £1,000 flat rate or 5 percent.
I would urge other branches to do something similar. Or ballot your section and send it to your branch asking them to include it in the return on the consultation.

In the phase 3 LUX-Lung 8 study, the ERBB family blocker, afatinib, significantly prolonged progression-free survival and overall survival in accordance with erlotinib in patients with relapsed/refractory squamous cell carcinoma from the lung. overexpression happens in 60%C80% of tumours [4], and around 10% of tumours demonstrate duplicate number modifications [5,6]. Furthermore, other members from the ERBB family members, including HER2 and HER3 are over-expressed [7 frequently,8], recommending that ERBB signalling might perform an integral role in SqCC disease pathology. The ERBB family members blocker, afatinib, can be approved for the treating relapsed/refractory SqCC from the lung predicated on the outcomes stage 3 LUX-Lung 8 research. In this scholarly study, afatinib prolonged progression-free success [PFS significantly; median 2.4 vs. 1.9 months; risk percentage (HR) 0.82; = 0.043] and general survival (OS; median 7.9 vs. 6.8 months; HR 0.81; = 0.008) vs. RTA 402 enzyme inhibitor erlotinib [9]. Notably, 5% of individuals received long-term advantage with afatinib (continued to be on treatment for a year) [10]. Afatinib irreversibly inhibits signalling from all heterodimers and homodimers from the ERBB family members [11], which cooperate via interconnected intracellular pathways to modify mobile proliferation [12]. Therefore, it had been hypothesized that particular genetic aberrations inside the family members might forecast the long-term response to afatinib seen in some individuals [13]. Indeed, latest comprehensive biomarker evaluation, including next-generation sequencing (NGS) to recognize genetic abnormalities, proven a tendency towards improved PFS (4.9 vs. 3.0 months; HR 0.62; = 0.06) and OS (10.6 vs. 8.1 months; HR 0.75; = 0.21) with afatinib in individuals with mutation-positive disease vs. those without [13]. In this case study, we describe the clinical and tumour molecular characteristics of a patient included in LUX-Lung 8 who remained on afatinib for over a year, with the aim of providing further insight into possible factors underlying long-term response to afatinib. Case report A Chinese male patient initially presented in August 2012, aged 53 years, with paroxysmal cough, a small amount of bloody phlegm, and asthma following activity. The patient, an ex-smoker with a 30-year smoking history (75 pack-years) was subsequently diagnosed with SqCC of the left lower lobe and RTA 402 enzyme inhibitor underwent a left pneumonectomy. Pathology confirmed a moderately-differentiated SqCC of Rabbit polyclonal to LIN41 the bronchus at the root of the left lower lobe (Fig. ?(Fig.1a);1a); P-T2bN3M0, R (-), stage IIIB, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 1, with infiltration of bronchial wall, and hilar vascular wall invasion. Tumour size was 6.5 5.0 3.4 cm. Metastasis was detected in the subcarina (Fig. ?(Fig.1b),1b), tracheal bronchus, lower pulmonary ligament and posterior vena cava, right hilar and supraclavicular lymph nodes, thus precluding radiotherapy. Open in a separate window Fig. 1 Pathological images. (a) Lung squamous cell carcinoma was identified by haematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining of primary tumour at the root of left lower lobe (magnification 200). (b) Subcarina lymph nodes involvement was indicated by HE staining (magnification 100). Following surgery, the patient received four cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin 450 mg plus paclitaxel 300 mg for two cycles followed by carboplatin 450 mg plus paclitaxel 270 mg for the final two cycles), with a best response of stable disease recorded. Imaging conducted in April 2013 identified progressive disease, with a malignant lesion in the patients right lumbar lymph nodes. The presence of progressive disease after receiving four cycles of chemotherapy meant that the patient eligible for enrolment into LUX-Lung 8 [9], and he started treatment with afatinib 40 mg/day on 25 April RTA 402 enzyme inhibitor 2013, with an ECOG performance score of 0, and normal renal and hepatic function. Results At the time of the first follow-up CT scan on 20 June 2013, the patient had achieved a partial response by independent review (Fig. ?(Fig.2).2). Progressive disease by investigator review was identified on 17 July 2014 with new nodules identified on the right adrenal gland (Fig. ?(Fig.2).2). PFS by investigator review was 448 days (14.7 months). Progressive disease by independent review was identified on 28 January 2014 due to progression of the lesion in the right supraclavicular lymph node. PFS by independent review was 278 days (9.1 months). Although the supraclavicular lymph node was recognized at baseline by investigator review, and shrunk on afatinib treatment considerably, it was not really regarded as a measurable lesion. Therefore, afatinib treatment was continuing; september 2014 the individual received afatinib until 11, a complete of 504 times (16.six months). Therefore, the individual was treated beyond radiological development according to 3rd party review; enough time between independent (PFS-1).

Report from Disability Law Colorado on Seclusion and Restraint in Colorado
The Collaborative for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disabilities Options is an ad-hoc committee of the Colorado Developmental Disabilities Council. Colorado CANDO was created to support the Ten Year Strategic Plan for individuals with autism and other neurodevelopmental disabilities.
In 2008, the Colorado General Assembly created the Colorado Autism Commission (SB08-163) to obtain additional information on people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in the State. The Colorado General Assembly charged the Commission with preparation of a Ten-Year Strategic Plan for the State of Colorado.
The resulting Ten Year Strategic Plan is an ambitious venture to expand the resources, services, and supports available to Colorado citizens with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and all neurodevelopmental disabilities.
The Colorado Autism Commission and CANDO identified the scarcity of appropriate services for children, youth and adults with these co-occurring needs as one of the most critical service issues in Colorado.
Problems: Numerous national reports have examined the problems associated with inadequate and/or poor quality mental health services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Recommendations almost always center on the need for cross-system collaboration between mental health service providers, developmental disability service systems, and acute health care providers but problems persist. Excessive use of emergency services and psychiatric hospitals (when access to same is available) are only two of the unfortunate results of an uncoordinated system. The toll on individuals, their families and the community can be tragic.
What is needed: A program that strengthens efficiencies and service outcomes for people with intellectual/developmental disabilities with co-occurring mental health conditions and/or behavioral health needs related to their disability. Colorado advocates and service providers can attest to the need for a program designed to provide seamless linkages among the many elements of community mental health care to avert crises and assure access, appropriateness, and accountability. An effective system would optimize independence, treatment, and community living for individuals with I/DD and behavioral health needs.
What we're doing to address the problems: The GAP Analysis survey was designed to help us identify the areas most in need of streamlining and improvement in service coordination for individuals with a dual diagnosis. In the Fall of 2013, eleven community meetings took place at Community Centered Boards across the state to gain insight to issues and successes in regional service coordination.
Next steps: The results from the surveys and community meetings were used to form recommendations that were presented in a report to the CDHS‐DDD to the General Assembly. This document is critical to lay the groundwork for building a responsive system for coordinated services, crisis prevention, management, and stabilization for people with neurodevelopmental disabilities.
Final Report: Analysis of Access to Mental Health Services for Individuals who have Dual Diagnosis of I/DD and Mental and/or Behavioral Health Disorders (11/2014)

Should You Hire More Introverts?
We're living in an era of over-sharing, some say. Many feel the need to share what they had for lunch, the angry episode with a co-worker at the morning meeting, and why they aren't fully satisfied with their cubicle.
The need to constantly share can be a distraction in the workplace, and can create habits that make working independently, and in a slow, deliberative way difficult. Luckily for me, not sharing is relatively easy because I'm an introvert. That means I get psychologically re-charged by spending time alone, rather than from mixing with others. People with introverted personalities long have been considered less than desirable in the workplace, but that may be changing.
Introversion is having a moment. Books such as "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" and columns such as "6 Reasons Introverts Make the Best Employees," by Chrissa Hardy in the Christian Science Monitor, may be changing perceptions about introverts.
I remember taking a personality assessment years ago for a magazine writing job in which I tried to control the results by pretending to be an extravert in how I answered the questions. I had been led to believe by my father (a fellow introvert) that introverts had bad personalities compared to those who were "outgoing," so why would they want to hire me if they knew I was an introvert? I didn't get the job, and wondered afterward if they had figured out I wasn't being honest in my self-assessment.
I took for granted that the hiring manager wouldn't value my ability to spend all day on my own working without talking to anyone else, or my ability to be productive and resourceful without the need to collaborate. I assumed that getting classified as an introvert would only conjure images of a person standing alone in a corner at a cocktail party, or a person too socially awkward to converse in a polished way.
In the article, Hardy makes points I always suspected were secret strengths of mine. The first, for instance, "Introverts only deliver information they consider to be of value," reminds me of my ability to approach meetings with an efficient mindset. Rather than using professionally oriented meetings for what my boss calls "blue sky ideas," I'd rather talk about how we actually could get things done, and what truly needs to get done right away. I don't feel the need to flit from meeting to meeting debating points that have no realistic purpose. I'm a creative person (like many introverts), but if I'm going to expend energy on communicating with others, I want it to count.
The next strength on Hardy's list, "Introverts are sincere," also speaks to me. I didn't understand for years that just smiling and saying, "Hello," was not considered friendly by many—that many people expect you to also try to engage them in a conversation. I've tried to amend my ways, and now push myself to also make small talk with people, but the reason I tend to only want to smile and say, "Hello," is that I don't want to pretend to have something to communicate when I really don't, or pretend to like and know a person more than I really do. It's also taken me a while to understand that just because people engage you in conversation and banter doesn't mean they like you. As an employer, you can make use of your introverts' sincerity by knowing they are the staff members who will not lead you to believe they like you (or anyone else) more than they really do.
This may be offensive to some, but I liken people like myself to cats, and extroverts to dogs. As most cat owners know, a cat isn't going to pretend to like you, even if you offer her food or other rewards. She's independent minded, self-contained, and either truly likes you or truly doesn't want to pay attention to anything you do or say—regardless of what's offered.
Hardy also notes that introverts tend to be unique individuals. I suspect that's because we're internally, rather than externally, oriented. That means we tend to come up with original ideas more often than we look to others for reflections of their ideas or approval. My creativity is one of my greatest strengths, and I think a big part of it is my tendency to look within for new, original ideas, rather than listening and watching those around me, so I can parrot information back to them.
"Introverts do not play office politics" is another one of Hardy's introvert observations that rings true. I've learned over the years to compensate for my aversion to phony conversations by going out of my way to be useful to those I need to rely on, but I genuinely don't enjoy strategizing about who I want to be friends with and support in the office. I tend to be friends with and support those I really like, and those I feel deserve it. I don't repeat the kind of mantras that become safe at a company (every company has its own catchphrases, such as "building synergies" and "improving speed to market"). I think that makes me a more valuable employee because I can be honest in my assessment of new ideas and the plans of others. I'm not so reckless that I would tell the CEO in an undiplomatic way that his idea stinks, but I might find ways to gently let him in on some of the potential down sides of his plans.
The dependability of introverts, which Hardy points out, is another of our assets to a company. We have chosen our friends, and those we speak to, carefully, so we have less to distract us, and when we make commitments to those select few, we stick to them. Unlike many extroverts, we haven't spread ourselves too thin. I have no problem saying, "No," and I suspect other introverts are similar. I'm less dependent on others than extroverts, so I care less about pleasing others. That means there's less reason for me to say I'm going to do something I won't.
Last, Hardy says, "Introverts are independent." That makes sense since we re-charge by being alone. If you don't need others for your satisfaction, then you're freer to work long hours without interaction, and you're freer to go it alone on an idea you feel passionate about, or just have a hunch will be your company's next best-selling product.
How can trainers teach managers about the value and use of all different personality types? Do you think your managers are biased toward hiring extraverts? How can your company best make use of the spirit of the introvert?

6 Ways You Can Save On Fuel Costs
Gas ain't cheap. You're probably feeling it in your pockets every time you fuel up, and especially when your whole fleet does. This is why having a field service software management system in place, like mobi, will help you save money on gas.
Here's 6 ways your fleet can cut costs on gas by using field service software:
1. Monitoring speed limits
Aggressive driving, like speeding and rapid acceleration followed by braking, wastes tons of gas. See who's doing it and then inform your drivers. Driving the speed limit can improve gas mileage up to 10% -- saving you about $0.09 to $0.28 per gallon. Plus, it's safer.
2. Avoid traffic and getting lost by planning ahead.
The art of planning ahead can save you, in more ways than one. Shaving time off the schedule by having the route plotted out ahead of time will lessen fuel costs and give your drivers a more efficient path. No more off-roading.
3. Monitor idling time
See how long that quick stop really took. Excessive idling can use up to a quarter to a half gallon of fuel per hour, depending on how high that AC is blasting. Monitoring idle time will help you be more aware of ways to cut down on those minutes.
4. Maintenance updates
Specifically, tires. Setting reminders for maintenance updates will always save you money. Like reminding your field technician to check the air in the tires, so the vehicle isn't slowing down as they deflate. Fix small problems before they become big, expensive ones.
5. Efficient dispatching
Tired of drivers getting lost? Or creating their own, and much longer, routes? Give dispatch an easier form of communication so your fleet isn't running around wasting gas trying to find their drop off location.
6. Keeping records and reports

First, some video proof. This shows the high end Lumia 1520 and the low end 630, both with 'modern' Snapdragon chipsets and hardware 'families', plus the Lumia 1020 and 920, both with the older Snapdragon S4 powering things, all running Windows Phone 8.1. Why do I mention the processors? You'll see.
Having started up each phone from scratch and then loaded up Skype, I then:
- switched away to the Windows Phone Store
- locked the screen
- unlocked it again
- used the multitasking carousel to switch back (resume) Skype.
In the latter case, I do it a pair of devices at a time, for clarity and practicality reasons.
Notice the difference? It seems that Skype resumes immediately and perfectly on any device with a 2014 chipset and skips back into having to effectively reload from scratch on anything older. In the video above, the delay was only a couple of seconds every time, but I've seen delays as long as 10 seconds in cases where Skype hadn't been used for a few hours, on my 920 and 1020.
The very fact that Microsoft is promoting Skype as a hero function in new device launches, lead me to suspect that the company isn't testing it on enough handsets. A phenomenon through the whole computing world since the dawn of time is that programmers tend to code and test on cutting edge monster PCs and then wonder why regular users with far less capable gear complain about application speed. The same seems to be happening here - it's clear that the Skype coders at Microsoft are testing on the 1520, Icon, 930, and the brand new 730 and 830 prototypes. Even the new low end 630. But I doubt whether any of them have tried using Skype recently on a Snapdragon S4-powered Lumia from 2013, otherwise this issue would have surely been picked up sooner in every day, real world use.
I'd love one of the Skype team to get back to us with an official comment. Is there a technical reason why Windows Phone applications can't resume in quite the same way under the Snapdragon S4 and its hardware family? Comments welcome if you can shed any light on this.
In the meantime, those of us struggling along with Skype on a Lumia 1020, 920, 925, 820, 720, 620 or 520 (etc. - so the vast majority of the Windows Phone installed base) will just have to wait. Multiple times a day.
... Resuming... ... ...
PS. Are there any other Windows Phone applications which you find almost as frustrating in terms of resumption speed? I'd hazard a guess that Twitter might be a candidate too?

Great Mp3 Normalizing
Great Mp3 Normalizing
It s finally what each of us need when looking for a normalizer?
Someone tell me what it seeks to match the volume of mp3s, but that is somewhat inaccurate.
Actually what we want is to hear the songs perfectly, every part of the song, every instrument, every voice. We need not miss anything, but listening to music on the go, or bicycle traffic.
Today we do not hear music locked in our room, as in the 70s. Today we hear mmusica in noisy environments and therefore, besides the difference of volumes in this disorder that results when we get music from many different sources, we also normalize to combat noise and be heard clearly despite the noise.
It has therefore been necessary to develop modern algorithms normalization of Mp3Doctor Mp3Doctor PRO and PRO 2, which go far beyond the simplicity with which the ancient normalizing worked.
Today it takes an entire srie manipulate factors to counteract the one hand the natural difference of volumes of music files. Naturally I say that usually the difference-for having gotten here and there – are encoded with different settings and encoders diferenmtes, and surprise! different results have been achieved in quality and volume.
On the other hand, as decided, today people listen to music while bathing, while riding a motorcycle, while traveling by train …. even while diving!
It also represents a new approach to the normalizer must consider and resolve.
Then we get a final result that is no different from handling large volume chains give FM (adquiriri without the expensive equipment they use to 'normalize' the volume) or used in major music concerts in stadiums or large areas, where all go perfectly sonidosm the viewer: the singer is whispering perceptible just as one hit the keyboard, bass and drums in unison.
Download the trial version of Mp3Doctor PRO 2 and enjoy a high quality of volume normalization. Todoi for a few dollars compared to what they spend great artists or broadcasters.
Even Mp3Doctor PRO 2 is used in television and broadcasting networks, are our customers.

Performance management is the process of managing staff throughout a business year to give them the motivation, skills and focus to deliver their best. It should be a two way process between the manager and employee and involves setting and clarifying objectives, regular discussions – monthly 1 to 1 discussions are ideal – coaching, and feedback.
The image to the right outlines a positive performance management cycle that you may want to consider emulating. The year should start with a review of last year's performance, followed by a focus on this year's performance where you can set objectives – we have a great guide on setting SMART objectives that you can download here:
How to write SMART objectives
What we like about this approach is that it highlights the importance of performance management being a year round activity that includes both development and performance, it also incorporates the more day to day discussions and one to ones which are a key part of managing performance.
Unfortunately, the term 'performance management' has too often been associated with managing under performance, and the HR/disciplinary process that people are put through when deemed to be under-performing. This is a shame because if managers were managing effectively this would be so much less likely to happen. If performance management is done effectively, across the entire year, underperformance issues would be nipped in the bud before they became issues that were too big to conquer. Regular discussion helps everyone stay on the same page, and managers understand how their staff are feeling before they decide to hand in their notice!

This unpleasant state can be caused by many different factors including too much or too little hydrochloric acid production in the stomach. Excessive stomach acid or a hiatus hernia usually causes heartburn. Insufficient hydrochloric acid or digestive enzyme deficiency usually causes a feeling of indigestion and reduced well-being after a meal. A bacterial imbalance or fungal infection in the gut can also result in these symptoms, plus bloating after a meal, because undesirable organisms multiply on feeding. Nutrition consultants can test these possibilities and identify the cause. The following advice is, however, a good starting point.
When the immune system is run down, infections occur. Many nutrients and phytonutrients help to enhance immune function. These include vitamin C, all antioxidants, and the plants echinacea, cat's claw and aloe vera. There are also many natural infection fighters including probiotics (for bacterial infection), caprylic acid (for fungal infection), elderberry extract (for viral infection) and grapefruit seed extract for all three. Read Chapters 19 and 28 to find out which remedies are most helpful, depending on the infection. Below is a general infection-fighting programme.
This unfortunate condition is more common in women than in men, although in 30 per cent of couples that have difficulty conceiving the problem is due to the man. Vitamins E and B6, selenium and zinc are important for both sexes, and vitamin C is important for men. Also important are essential fatty acids. There are, however, many causes other than nutritional deficiency, perhaps the most common being hormonal imbalances, particularly in women. These can be checked by a nutrition consultant or your doctor, from saliva samples taken at intervals over a month.
Many health problems, including all those ending in 'itis', are inflammatory. This means that a part of the body such as a muscle or joint, the gut or respiratory tract, is inflamed. This is a sign that the body is reacting, or over-reacting, to something. A tendency to over-react can arise if a person is deficient in essential fats and their supportive nutrients, vitamins B3 and B6, biotin, vitamin C, zinc and magnesium. Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is also needed to make cortisol, the body's anti-inflammatory hormone. Boswellic acid, found in the plant frankincense, is a natural anti-inflammatory agent that is available in the form of a cream for inflamed joints and muscles. L-glutamine helps to calm gut inflammation. Antioxidant nutrients are also intimately involved in inflammatory responses. However, there is little point in calming down an inflammation if the source of irritation remains. This may be a food allergy or an irritating substance such as alcohol.
This term is used to describe intermittent diarrhoea or constipation, urgency to defecate, abdominal pain or indigestion. There are many possible contributory causes to one or more of these symptoms. They include food allergy, gut inflammation, over-excitation of the gut muscles, stress, infection and toxic overload. It is therefore best to see a nutrition consultant who can determine which factors are relevant. Essential fats and the amino acid glutamine calm gut inflammation, antioxidants help the body to detoxify and the right mineral balance helps the muscles of the gut to work properly.

'I Just Want Justice,' Father Says After Body Of 9-Year-Old Girl Found Stuffed Into A Duffel Bag Is Identified
Investigators have detained two people of interest in the death of Trinity Love Jones, whose body was dumped along an equestrian trail in Los Angeles County.
A father is seeking justice after investigators identified the body of a 9-year-old girl found stuffed into a duffel bag and abandoned along an equestrian trial in Los Angeles County.
The young victim has been identified as Trinity Love Jones, the youngest daughter of Antonio Jones.
"Words can't explain what I'm feeling right now," he told KTLA after learning of the positive identification. "I just want answers. I just want justice."
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in a statement that investigators have detained two "persons of interest" in the case and are actively continuing to investigate what may have happened to the young girl.
The county coroner's office has ruled the death a homicide but authorities are withholding the exact cause of death.
Investigators hope to release more information later this week after "additional facts are established and verified," the release said.
The sheriff's office has called in more detectives to help with the investigation after receiving significant leads and information from the public.
"We have had thousands of tips come in across the country," Los Angeles County Sheriff's Capt. Kent Wegener said, according to The Los Angeles Times.
The child's body was found March 5 along an equestrian trail in Hacienda Heights. Her 55-pound body had been placed in a duffel bag and left about 120 yards from the trail. She was wearing a pink shirt that read "Future Princess Hero."
Investigators believe her body was discovered at the site less than 48 hours after it had been dropped there.
They are now hoping DNA and other forensic evidence recovered at the scene can point them to the person responsible for her death.
After learning the young victim's identity, family members visited the site, leaving behind flowers, stuffed animals and candles at a makeshift memorial.
"She was just the best," Antonio Jones told the local station. "Full of character, full of life, full of joy."

In these jobs, women have better pays than men
Listen this article
Although men traditionally earn up to 15% more than women, some jobs, especially modeling, are better paid in women
In most professions, there are wage differences between men and women. On average, men typically earn up to 15% more than women, according to the Personal Finance portal. Here are some of the few professions in which women have higher salaries than men.
Leer en español: Conozca los empleos que son mejor pagos para mujeres
According to the msn portal, human resources women professionals earn around 2% more than men in this job. This is because women make up 90% of this work area.
Similarly, on the field of kinesiology, the study of body movement, women earn 5% more than their male colleagues.
The same percentage favors women on the field of chemical engineering. Although there are more men than women in this field, they earn on average 60,480 USD a year, while women earn 63,770 USD.
On social work field, where 82% of workers are women, they earn up to 7% more than men, generating 0.08 USD for every dollar men earn. Despite this, this is a low-paying job for both genders.
According to Forbes, on the field of advertising, made up of 60% of women, they earn approximately 8% more than men. However, the same media warns, these statistics only apply to white women. On this field, both men and women of color often suffer from wage discrimination earning 80 cents less for every dollar earned by their white counterparts.
The women wholesale and retail buyers, who are responsible for selecting and buying the goods and services required by companies, earn around 10% more than the men who hold the same position. However, interestingly, the American Bureau of Labor Statistics warns that this benefit for women disappears when it comes to the purchase of agricultural goods.

A different gap in the arts
According to the US Census Bureau, women who dedicate themselves to music earn approximately 11% more than male musicians. However, this difference does not occur in the same jobs, but it is due, says the Census Bureau, that the majority of women with musical training are engaged in audio engineering, a better-paid field than jobs in sales advice. Likewise, women with musical training perform more masters studies than men, thus increasing their salary possibilities.
On the other hand, media producers and movie directors gain approximately 6% more than their male counterparts. However, only 32% of the employees in this industry are women. According to the msn portal, "Hollywood has a long history of assigning men to the roles of big-budget movies," and, in fact, Patty Jenkins became the first woman in 2017 to direct a major movie of superheroes with the premiere of "Wonder Woman".
Finally, the work with the highest percentage salary benefit for women is modeling. On this field, women earn 149% more than their male counterparts, according to PayScale. For example, the model Gisele Bundchen has managed to earn up to 42 million USD in one year, while, according to Forbes magazine, if the top 10 male models add their salaries, they earn 8 million USD.

Young Man Injured by Worn Snowmobile Track
A young 20 year old man was severely injured when a dangerously worn track on a snowmobile shredded to pieces. The pieces flew off of the vehicle and struck him in the right tibia and fibula. He sustained a Grade IV open fracture. The injury was so severe that his right leg was amputated below the knee. We sued the seller of the snowmobile, who sold a used and dangerously worn 1996 Polaris to a young family. We also sued the owner of the snowmobile, who asked the young man to hold up the back of the snowmobile while he was attempting to make repairs. He revved the engine, which caused the track to blow to pieces. Because of these individuals' negligence, a young 20 year old man was forced to learn to walk again and live with a prosthetic leg. The case settled prior to trial, for a total of more than $1,200,000.
