“We’ve liked the NuForce line for its ability to deliver solid audio fidelity that punches above its price range, and the BE2 stand as a real testament to that. Ted’s main issue with the BE2 is that it isn’t aptX compatible, but he recommended the BE6i or BE Sport3 for Android users, which is another nice call out!”

“Compared to the Jaybird Freedom, which is four times as expensive, the Optoma NuForce BE2 offers over twice the battery life and much better sound quality. The Monster Clarity HD sound great but feel cheap and are more expensive. For the price, it’s hard to beat the Optoma NuForce BE2.“

“The Optoma NuForce BE2 is everything you would want in a wireless earphone. Lightweight, comfortable and ideal for using whilst working out. The cable is great as it is slightly weighted to stop it bouncing all over the place during workouts. The SpinFit eartips stay in your ears. I even tried shaking my head and they stayed in place”.

“The biggest surprise was the sound quality. The BE2’s are not bass heavy, in fact they are slightly bass light but in a good way as the midrange and treble shine with these. They had good clarity in the mid and treble range and with a reasonable amount of separation. The BE2s are really enjoyable to listen to your music”.

Droid Gamers,

The sound is clear and surprisingly detailed, and the Spin Fit ear tips (yes, the idea is to twist them into your ear) offer a surprisingly good level of passive noise isolation

A decent level of separation allows you to comfortably pick out individual instruments and voices as they populate the song around you, and there’s even a semblance of soundstage. Most music sounds good, but artists like Cat Stevens and Aimee Mann, with their simple, predominantly acoustic arrangements, are a particular joy.

The BE2s are solidly built, with all the features you’d expect from a pair of Bluetooth earphones in 2017, and they boast a rich, balanced, fun sound.

“We find that the BE2 is very affordable, sounds good, and keeps its ear tips where they’re supposed to be. As an added bonus, the rear of the BE2’s driver housings are magnetic, allowing them to stick together when they hang from the neck, reducing the risk of accidentally losing them when not in use.Not only do the ear tips stay in place around the BE2’s large sound channels, the tips also offer excellent isolation, even on our noisy NYC subway commute.We got around the 10 hours of battery life claimed by Optoma, which is impressive considering the relatively small size of the BE2’s battery housing…the overall quality build and sound in this affordable headphone makes the BE2 easy to recommend.”

What Does The Future Hold For The Seattle Seahawks?

What Does The Future Hold For The Seattle Seahawks?

It wasn’t even three weeks ago when the Seattle Seahawks handed the Philadelphia Eagles, who nearly everyone considered to be the best team in the NFL, a loss by a two-touchdown margin, holding an Eagles offense led by then-MVP favorite Carson Wentz to only 10 points. That gave Seattle an 8-4 record, and put them in the driver’s seat to not only make the playoffs for the sixth season in a row, but to take control of the NFC West away from the surging Los Angeles Rams.

And yet, since then, to say things have gone disastrously might be somewhat underselling just how bad it’s really been for the Seahawks. The 30-24 score in their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars doesn’t nearly reflect just how badly Seattle was outplayed in that game; if it wasn’t for two late touchdown passes by Russell Wilson, it would’ve been a 30-10 score. But the following week’s score of 42-7, in their loss to said Rams, was just as ugly as the score might indicate. The Rams were up 34-0 by halftime, which was the largest such margin that Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll had ever had in his tenure as the team’s coach.

With two weeks left to go in the regular season, Seattle is still mathematically alive for one of the wild card spots in the NFC, but their work is certainly cut out for them. They have to go into Dallas and beat a team that will have a rested Ezekiel Elliott returning to the lineup; consider the fact that this Seahawks team just gave up 152 yards and four touchdowns rushing to Todd Gurley last week. They’ll then finish the season with a home game against division rival Arizona; anything can happen when you play a division opponent. And that’s not even mentioning the fact that Seattle needs both Atlanta and Detroit, who are sitting ahead of them in the standings, to lose at least one of their last two remaining games.

If the Seahawks fail to qualify for the postseason for the first time since quarterback Russell Wilson was drafted, they’ll head right into an offseason that has more questions than answers about the team’s future. Seattle will head into the offseason with the fifth-least amount of salary cap room of any team in the NFL, and a laundry list of tough personnel decisions they need to make.

Cornerback Richard Sherman’s public bravado has become less of a sideshow and more of a distraction. He turns 30 years old in the offseason, just tore his Achilles’ tendon (you’re looking at an 8-10 month recovery for that — at best), and is going to carry a $13.2 million cap hit next season (the 6th highest cap hit for a cornerback in the league in 2018).  If Seattle releases him, they could free up $11 million under the cap. But you’re also talking about one of the team’s two most defining players.

Jimmy Graham is a free agent after this year, and just turned 31 on this past Black Friday a few weeks ago. Over his last two seasons in Seattle, Graham has made over $7.9 million each year; his total salary last year was $10 million, and was the third-highest-costing tight end in the NFL. So do you give an aging tight end a contract that averages in the neighborhood of nine or ten million per year as he gets closer to 35, knowing that he still drops more passes than any other player at his position in the league? Or do you let him walk away, and be ok with the fact that he’s caught almost 1/3rd of the 30 touchdown passes that Russell Wilson has thrown this year, and might have been the NFL’s most dangerous red zone weapon this past season.

Seattle also has to immediately decide what they’re going to do with Luke Joeckel, their left guard who’s been up and down this season, and might not be worth the $8 million/year they’re paying him. Anyone who’s watched this team knows that the running back position has been a disaster this season; you know it’s bad when your two best guys are Mike Davis (whom they picked up off the scrap heap after he was dumped by San Francisco) and J.D. McKissic (whom many of the top draft analysts had never heard of prior to this season).

To make matters worse, guys like Earl Thomas, Cliff Avril, KJ Wright, and Frank Clark will be free agents after 2018; those are some of the most indispensable players on the defense, so Seattle has to figure out which one of those players are going to earn the precious few salary cap dollars the Seahawks have left, and which one of those guys will be let go. Same goes for wide receiver Paul Richardson, who is also a free agent after this year. There will be a long list of teams who will covet a talented player with his upside; he’ll turn 26 years old next spring, and feels like he’s right on the cusp of being a breakout star

This isn’t a “reload” type of situation for Seattle, either. Of the 28 players the Seahawks drafted from 2013-2015, only five are still with the team. For as much credit as we give this organization for the way it was built through the draft, it certainly hasn’t been sustained in the most recent drafts.

Give all the youth on the prolific Rams offense, and the arrival of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in San Francisco, you have to wonder just what the future holds for these Seahawks, given all these questions they’re facing — and the few dollars they have to use to answer said questions.

At the beginning of December, we all seemed to be thinking about how “Seattle looks like they’re back.” And by Christmas, we’re now talking about the Seahawks, as we presently know them, might be no more.

That must be why people say the “NFL” actually stands for “Not For Long.”

Ligety, Vonn Control Races

Vonn sweeps Lake Louise; Ligety crushes in Beaver Creek

Utah skier Ted Ligety crushed the competition at this weekend's Birds of Prey giant slalom in Beaver Creek, Colorado, beating defending World Cup champion Marcel Hirscher as Lindsey Vonn pulled off a similar feat in Lake Louise, Alberta. Ligety won his race by 1.76 seconds, wrapping up his second win in as many giant slalom races this season.

“It's great winning in front of the home crowd, especially by that kind of margin,” said Ligety, who took home a gold medal in combined at the 2006 Winter Olympics. “It's so nice to have so many friends and family here and on this slope."

Meanwhile, Vonn swept the women's competition at Lake Louise, winning the super-G and downhill ahead of fellow Americans Julia Mancuso and Stacey Cook. The two-time Olympic medalist had been struggling following a hospitalization for a stomach ailment and a lackluster 21st-place showing in the giant slalom at Aspen last weekend. "I was definitely feeling extremely low after being in the hospital and my poor result in Aspen. But I knew if there was a place to turn it around, it was Lake Louise," she said.

San Diego - Surrounding Cities

San Diego has much to offer including Balboa Park, the Hotel Del Coronado, the Reuben H. Fleet Space Theater and Science Center, the Gaslamp area, San Diego Harbor & Marina, San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park and others. If you'd like more information on these attractions and more in San Diego, please click here to visit Yahoo! Travel.

San Diego Beaches

Arts and Culture

San Diego also offers some of the most diverse communities to live in the country. San Diego is composed of a series of individual neighborhoods, each with its own personality. Click below for a map and descriptions of some the better known neighborhoods in San Diego.

Banker's Hill

At the turn of the 20th century prominent San Diegans built stately homes above the canyons west of Balboa Park. Two pedestrian bridges spanning these canyons were built to provide easy access to street car lines. Today these bridges offer an opportunity to enjoy the canyons at tree top level and to cross over a world of exquisitely designed homes and gardens that captivate now as much as they did then.

Carlsbad, located 35 miles north of San Diego and 90 miles south of Los Angeles, benefits from its proximity to both metropolitan areas. With over 7 miles of coastline, Carlsbad enjoys an excellent year-round climate that makes it a destination spot for visitors. The world renowned La Costa Resort and Spa and the Four Seasons Resort call Carlsbad home, and the championship golf courses are some of the finest in San Diego County. Carlsbad is known for its high standards of living, excellent homes and family atmosphere.

City Heights

Just over a mile east of Balboa Park, past where I-805 and I-15 crisscross, is City Heights, home to over 60,000. Businesses line University and El Cajon Boulevard, and City Heights is home to a large Asian population, among many other ethnicities, as evidenced by a large number of oriental restaurants and supermarkets.

With over 80,000 residents, Clairemont rests on the hills east of Pacific Beach overlooking Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean. A large area of mostly residential homes, the community is divided by Tecolote Canyon. Clairemont is the essential Southern Californian burb complete with lazy neighborhoods and strip malls along Genesee and Balboa. Mesa Community College is located in Clairemont.

Separated from downtown by the impressive Coronado Bay Bridge, Coronado is an upscale "island" which has a small-town feel with an uptown price tag. For over a hundred years, Coronado has been the area's premier resort destination, home to Le Meridian Resort and the legendary Hotel Del Coronado. The town itself is peaceful and idyllic, complete with sidewalk cafes, theaters and tree-lined streets of Victorian homes and California bungalows. Much of Coronado is occupied by the North Island Naval Air Station and the U.S. Naval Amphibious Base. The Old Ferry Landing serves up bayside shopping and dining, as well as a magnificent view of downtown San Diego.

Del Mar

Del Mar means "by the sea", and is an exclusive, upscale community separated from La Jolla to north by the Torrey Pines State Reserve. The City of Del Mar is two square miles of coastal land that boasts the highest percentage of college graduates in the city, if not the nation. The main attraction of visitors is some of San Diego's best beaches and sunny weather. The annual Del Mar Fair is the county's largest and most popular, and the renowned Del Mar Racetrack summer season brings in visitors from throughout the United States.

East Village

The East Village, just east of the Gaslamp Quarter, was the warehouse district for a growing San Diego from the late 1800's to the late 1900s. Somewhere along the way it became an artists' colony and home to the future Padres' ballpark & proposed main library. The Urban Art Trail is the thread running through East Village with inhabitants such as the Reincarnation Project, a reincarnation of the Carnation processing plant into apartments for area artists, as well as the Debra Owens Gallery, the Archeological Society and Sushi Theater. Local architects are designing live/work lofts to compliment the existing eclectic mix of warehouses and Victorian buildings. This is a neighborhood in constant change.

Located 25 miles north of San Diego north of Solona Beach and south of Carlsbad, Encinitas covers several miles of coastline and extends inland to border San Marcos. Encinitas is famous for its many beaches, and is extremely popular with the surfing crowd. More recent development has occurred inland with construction and commercialization along the sprawling El Camino Real. Encinitas includes the communities of Cardiff and Leucadia, with business and retail development along Highway 101.

Gaslamp Quarter

Step back to the days when prostitutes & gamblers ruled the dusty streets of this remote seaport. In 1867, Alonzo Horton purchased most of what is the present day downtown for $267. Many of the buildings from these early years have been preserved in the Gaslamp Quarter, a nationally registered historic district. In the late 1800's, Wyatt Earp ran several gambling parlors here, colorful brothels occupied prominent 4th & 5th Avenue buildings & a thriving Chinese community was centered on 3rd Avenue. Today this area thrives with numerous nightclubs, bars, fancy restaurants and is a favorite for tourists and locals on the weekends.

Hillcrest is an eclectic mix of restaurants, coffeehouses, nightclubs and medical offices. A vibrant shopping scene is also one of its big draws. Its hub of University and 5th Avenue is lively any time of the day, any day of the week. Nearly 30,000 call Hillcrest home, many subscribing to an alternative lifestyle, as Hillcrest hosts the largest concentration of gay and lesbians in San Diego. It is host to the annual Gay Pride Parade.

Kensington & Normal Heights

These communities, just south of Mission Valley and I-8, are distinctive, peaceful, residential neighborhoods. The Ken theater in Kensington is a city landmark and showcases many independent films. A large number of antique shops spot the area, especially along Adams Avenue, which intersects each community and each year is host to a festive street fair.

La Jolla

La Jolla is Spanish means "The Jewel" and this posh community of over 47,000 north of Pacific Beach takes this moniker quite literally. La Jolla is home to many outstanding beaches and surf spots, posh neighborhoods, and upscale dining and shopping locales. Prospect Street near the La Jolla Cove is littered with boutiques and jewelers, as well as numerous restaurants. La Jolla is bordered on the north by the Torrey Pines Golf Course and the beautiful campus of the University of California San Diego. Other prime attractions include the Stephen Birch Aquarium Museum at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography and the Contemporary Museum of Art on Prospect.

Logan Heights

The Coronado bridge jumps from Logan Heights, just south of downtown. The community of over 45,000 has a heavy Hispanic influence, and you can witness some really far-out murals and spray paint art. This area has gotten a reputation for being a bit rough, but if you can put that aside it is worth the trip to check out some of the city's best Mexican food finds.

Mira Mesa

Mira Mesa is a community of tract homes, condominiums and strip malls, typically Southern Californian. Located north of the Miramar Naval Air station between I-805 and i-15, it is home to Sorrento Valley that hosts scores of business parks and new technology firms, most notably Qualcomm. Mira Mesa is served by its own mall, and includes the peaceful, family-friendly Scripps Ranch to the east.

Mission Beach

Over 45,000 people call Mission Beach home, and most are young and single. The standard Californian surfer community, Mission Beach is a narrow area that runs along Mission Boulevard from the south peninsula into Pacific Beach. The attitude here is laid back, and the transportation of choice is either bicycle or skateboard, since parking is difficult. South Mission is less hectic with a more young, professional crowd, and the recent addition of over two dozen volleyball courts makes it a recreational destination. The obvious attraction is Belmont Park, which houses arcades, clubs, and the famous Belmont Park Rollercoaster.

Mission Hills

Mission Hills is home to some 30,000 residents, many who live in the beautifully restored homes that distinguish this neighborhood. This community was once home to many of San Diego's pioneer families. Most business are along Washington Street. Mission Hills is south of I-8 and east of Old Town.

Mission Valley

Mission Valley is a sparsely populated area just north of I-8 in central San Diego. It hosts some of San Diego's many business and commercial monoliths – including the Mission Valley Center, home of the AMC 20 theaters, Jack Murphy Stadium and Hotel Circle. Mission Valley is otherwise mostly condominiums and apartment complexes. Pacific College - San Diego is located in Mission Valley.

North Park

North Park takes its name from it proximity to nearby Balboa Park, and in recent years has transformed into a idyllic, peaceful community of over 25,000. The North Park theater is a landmark, and most of the businesses are on University Boulevard and 30th. North Park is home to some eclectic bars and hang-outs.

Ocean Beach

Newport Avenue is the main attraction is this ocean side community of over 28,000. The surf community is well represented here, as well as a large neo-hippie contingent, as evidenced by the many smoke shops. Inland and to the south near Sunset Cliffs the situation becomes a bit more conservative and family-oriented. There is great fishing off the Ocean Beach pier, and Dog Beach in north Ocean Beach is a great place to walk your pet without incurring a fine. A few miles from the coast is the San Diego Sports Arena and many commercial strip malls.

San Diego's County most northern city and its third-largest, Oceanside is a beach resort and a trade center for a rich farm area. Tucked against the southern side of Camp Pendleton, Oceanside serves as the county's northern gateway and home to many of the base's 35,000 Marine Corps members and their families. With 3-1/2 miles of beaches and the Oceanside Harbor, the city lives up to its name and reputation as a lively beach community. Oceanside is home to the California Surf Museum. Each year the city hosts Harbor Days in October. Buena Vista Lagoon serves as a wetlands preserve with hiking trails, special events and a Nature Interpretive Center. On the city's eastern edge is the Mission San Luis Rey. Founded in 1798 by Father Junipero Serra, it was called "The King of Missions," because it was the largest and most prosperous of the state's missions.

Old Town

Dating back to the time of the early Spaniards in California, Old Town reflects the rich and colorful history of early California. Historic sites, festivals, dining, artisans, and a wealth of beautiful shops give Old Town it's festive air.

Pacific Beach

Situated between Mission Beach and La Jolla, Pacific Beach combines elements of both. It's a rambunctious community of over 44,000 filled with young, laid-back types sprinkled with the more conservative, young professional. As expected, surfing and beach related sports are a focal point of Pacific Beach, and its famous boardwalk that rolls from Crystal Pier into Mission Beach is great for rollerblading, biking and people watching. Garnet Avenue is the hub of Pacific Beach, with an abundance of bars and nightclubs that are extremely popular with the rowdy young set. Each spring Pacific Beach is home to the Block Party, an all-day event that attracts thousands to the area.

Point Loma

It began here on September 28, 1542, when Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo set foot on North American soil at Ballast Point, just off Point Loma. He named it San Miguel, a name later changed to San Diego. Chinese and Portuguese fishermen were early residents here. Today Tiki style hotels, yacht clubs & the Navy dominate. Today Point Loma offers some of the most stunning views of San Diego bay & downtown.

Solana Beach

Solana Beach is a beautiful, upscale community that lies between the Pacific Ocean and exclusive Rancho Santa Fe. Just north of Del Mar, Solana Beach enjoys the perfect climate and excellent beaches of its neighbor. The Belly Up Tavern is a San Diego nightlife tradition. The northern part of Solana Beach is almost entirely occupied by the San Elijo Lagoon County Park & Ecological Reserve. A new Amtrak station recently opened in the city.

South Park & Golden Hill

South Park, the San Diego neighborhood on the eastern edge of Balboa Park, is nothing like the popular TV show with the same name. It's a quiet residential neighborhood punctuated with small shopping districts. Before there were strip malls there were neighborhoods like this where residents walked for their daily shopping needs. This is still possible in South Park, where a sense of community resides. If you like early 20th century architecture, South Park has some of the most stately homes overlooking Balboa Park's golf course to the pink sidewalks of Burlingame. This is one of San Diego's best kept secrets.

University Heights

University Heights was developed in the late 1800's on the promise of being the home of San Diego's first college. The college plans fell through, but the name stuck and eventually a college was built here – a teacher's college, or Normal School as it was called in those days. However, it was the botanical garden and ostrich farm that brought urban dwellers here for an outing on the edge of town in the early 1900s. Today it sits in the heart of the city, but it has the charm of a European village. Residents walk up to Park Avenue for coffee, locals in the know come here for small specialty shops and tourists come here for the ambiance and architectural variety.

Who we are

E-mail Print PDF

We are (PCAI) PARAGON CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE INTERNATIONAL, INC. -  PCAI is officially and legally recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) and holds a "Group Status" in which it has been given the authority by the IRS to issue the 501(c)(3) to qualified religious organizations referred to as "subordinates." Each ministry (subordinate) is autonomous and sovereign operated by its' own governing board.

PCAI was organized and chartered in 1976 under the name "Christian Ministries" - a local non-denominational religious organization in Monroe, Louisiana. In 1988, the leadership with over forty years of ministry experience, met to discuss a fresh vision for soul winning, evangelism, church planting, missions, and Christian education.  During this meeting they expanded the organization nationally and internationally under the name of Association of Evangelical Gospel Assemblies. In 2011 the primary legal name was changed to PARAGON CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE INTERNATIONAL, INC. to better express the vision and purpose of the ministry maintaining the former name as a tradename. Our desire is to reach out to the whole Body of Christ with the ministry resources God has given us.

PCAI can help you receive your ministry credentials (Licensed & Ordination through our ministerial fellowship) for qualified applicants (both men and women), and offers the 501(c)(3) tax exempt status under our group exemption to various types faith-based charitable and religious based ministries.  We can do in 30 days what would take one to three years if you acted alone in obtaining your 501(c)(3) status directly from the IRS. What a great benefit! You can remain independent...yet connected (autonomous and sovereign). Being a fellowship, we differ from a denominational structure.  As such, we adhere to and believe that your Christian nonprofit organizations should operate autonomously. Therefore, all property and assets are held in the name of your ministry and under the guidance of your board of directors. To be in compliance with the IRS rulings, we only require that the president of the board hold credentials/membership with PCAI.

Already obtained your 501(c)(3)? We offer an affiliation program for ministries for the purpose of fellowship and networking.
One of the primary missions of PCAI is fulfilled through its educational divisions - Omega Bible Institute & Seminary and Evangel Christian University of America - training hundreds of indigenous ministers and those wanted to learn more about the Bible in many countries and in the USA. Students from numerous denominations enroll in a par excellence study program to earn a bachelor, master, or doctorate degree.  When you become a member of PCAI, you become part of the vision to educate laymen and ministers around the globe for the glory of God.

A ministry TO and FOR ministry professionals, PCAI is committed to helping individuals like YOU move forward in the work HE has called you to.

Activity 88/150

Sledge Hockey

Sledge hockey is a sport designed to allow participants with a disability to play ice hockey. Able bodied players can join in the fun as well.

Matthew Murnaghan – Hockey Canada Images

Sledge hockey was invented in Sweden in the 1960s. The sled was designed with two skate blades on a metal frame so that the puck could pass underneath.

Sledge hockey, like ice hockey, is played on a hockey rink or more casually on a frozen pond.

How to play
Basically all of the rules of ice hockey apply to sledge hockey – each team has five people and a goalie. Teams navigate the ice while sitting on sleds and use two sticks to propel themselves across the ice. The sticks have a curved blade similar to a hockey stick and metal teeth at the opposite end of the blade for steering and propulsion. Teams try to score on the opposing team’s net and the one with the most goals at the end of three periods wins. For more information visit Hockey Canada.

Suggested equipment
- Hockey sledges
- Helmet
- Hockey Gloves
- Sticks
- Additional protective equipment as required
- Warm clothing

Physical activity in Canada includes everyone, regardless of any ability or circumstance. Some sports and activities may, however, require a few adaptations to make them as accessible as possible. Below you’ll find recommendations and suggestions on how to accommodate individuals that may have limitations or different needs. With a positive attitude and a little ingenuity, any activity can be made enjoyable for all.

Sledge hockey is an amazing sport designed for individuals with mobility limitations and one that is fun for everyone.

To adapt the sport for individuals with a visual impairment, use an audible puck, and eliminate face offs, provide clear boundaries or play with a buddy.

Learning/Cognitive Disabilities

Make it positive! Break tasks down into manageable steps and use repetition to develop skills and promote success. To assist in providing a positive experience, consider using volleyball rather than a puck. Possibly eliminate the skill of sledging on ice and turn it into a fun game of floorball.

Mobility Limitation

Sledge hockey was developed for individuals with mobility limitations. It could however to modified further by moving the activity to a gymnasium and playing ball hockey. Consider using a larger ball for easier striking and adjust the playing area as needed.

Benefits of Sledge Hockey

The Canadian Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines outline the amount and type of physical activity you need at every age and stage of life. And, for the first time, the new 24-hour Movement Guidelines for Children & Youth also include sleep. Following the guidelines will help reduce the risk of chronic disease, lead to a more focused mind, a stronger, fitter body, and all in all, a more enjoyable life.

Rectal Cancer Survivor

Survivor now focuses on good health and helping others

Tom Foeller lives in a suburb near Portland, Oregon, with his wife, Meri, and their devoted dog, Seco. After being diagnosed in 2006 with stage III rectal cancer, Tom embarked on a grueling year of treatment, and retired early from Bonneville Power Administration, where he was a supervisor.

Tom is now using his retirement years to fulfill a number of personal dreams — venturing into open water sailing and spending more time with his and Meri’s four grown children and two grandchildren. He is also committed to serving others and is an active board member in his local community council and sewer district. In addition, he was recently appointed by Fight Colorectal Cancer (Fight CRC) as the Regional Director of Western States, and he has visited members of the US Congress as an advocate for Fight CRC.

In my heart of hearts, I knew I should have had a colorectal exam much earlier. When I was actually tested, however, I was virtually asymptomatic although I had some irregular bowel movements that I attributed to diet and growing older. It wasn’t avoidance; I was just busy with the pressure of my work, managing and supervising. Now I know that your health has to be a priority.

I was 59 when, during a routine physical, I had to ask my family physician if I needed a colon exam. The sad part was that while I was ignorant about the test, it had never been on his radar screen either. He gave me a fecal occult test in the exam room that took all of five minutes and proceeded to order a colonoscopy. I subsequently realized he found blood in my fecal matter.

Within a month, I had my first colonoscopy. I was semi-conscious during the procedure but remember a female attendant uttering something profane almost right off the bat —so I knew something was up.

Meri and I then met with the surgeon to discuss the results. He told me I had a large cancerous tumor in my rectum that was treatable, but that would require surgery. At this juncture, like most newly diagnosed cancer patients I wanted to ask, “How long do I have to live?”

The appointment with my oncologist followed, with the explanation that the treatment would last a year or so. He also recommended that I participate in a research study. After Meri and I discussed it, I agreed to enroll in the NSABP’s (National Surgical Adjuvant Breast & Bowel Project) R-04 study. I thought it might increase the oversight of my care and help me learn more about the disease. As it turned out, I was right. The research nurse helped interpret important details, and the results of the trial should be helpful to other patients in the future.

I was “randomized” into one of four groups and assigned to take capecitabine (Xeloda) orally. So I started six weeks of chemo and radiation together. Initially the treatment was a cakewalk, but toward the end, I had a number of painful side effects.

Once that was completed, my surgeon removed the tumor by performing a lower resection of the rectum, and I had to get used to the temporary external ileostomy bag. Thank God and the doctor, six weeks later, my surgeon closed the ileostomy and shortly afterward, my “waste” system began working again.

I then started five months of adjuvant treatment and took capecitabine pills and received six infusions of oxaliplatin (Eloxatin). The side effects of the oxaliplatin and capecitabine were not pleasant, but they always beat the alternative! I choked on pills, my bowel movements were messy and unpredictable, and I was producing more gas than Exxon.

After completing the chemo, I slowly began to recover and get my energy back. I continued to experience tingling in my feet and hands; however, over time it became more manageable. Some bowel irregularity also persisted, but the successful results of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery were worth it all.

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I thought I had just received a death sentence. As time passed, hope began to build, and I realized not all cancer pronouncements mean your life is over. My inspirations were virtually everyone around me: Meri, other patients, medical staff, family, our kids, grandkids and friends were all pulling for me.

Recently, my doctors gave me the excellent news that five years after my first surgery, I thankfully remain cancer free. In retrospect, my disease introduced me to a new and fulfilling world and the timing and circumstances were perfect. It helped me launch another period in my life — one where we’re doing all the things we like and I hope in return that I can help others fight this highly preventable, treatable and beatable disease.

Multiple Myeloma Survivor

Hope, supportive family and friends sustain survivor through treatment

Michelle Dornath is a busy mother of four children, who lives in Gilmore City, Iowa. She and her husband, Jeff, have a farm where they raise corn, soybeans and hogs. In 2009, at the age of 37, Michelle was diagnosed with plasmacytoma and later with multiple myeloma. Michelle’s two oldest girls and their 4-H club participate in the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life, where they walk in honor of their mom. In 2011, Michelle was the Honorary Survivor Chair of the Pocahontas County Relay and led the Survivor Victory Lap.

By nature, I can be a worrier. On the two-hour drive home from being diagnosed with plasmacytoma (blood plasma cancer), however, I determined that I did not want to live in fear but in hope. I didn’t think it was the end, and it wasn’t even the worst thing that had ever happened to us.

We also have four children who had to be told. We wanted to be truthful, but not give too much information and worry them. Fortunately, they knew people who had survived cancer, so they were fine.

I had been having back pain that was getting progressively worse through the winter of 2008/2009. Finally, when the treatments were no longer helping and I could hardly walk, my doctor referred me to an orthopedic surgeon in Des Moines.

We hadn’t suspected anything, so it was a shock when after an MRI and other tests, the orthopedic surgeon told me that I had a giant cell tumor. He referred me to an oncologist and a thousand things ran through my head right away — mostly related to the kids.

Over the next weeks, we made additional trips for more blood tests, a needle biopsy of the tumor and a bone marrow biopsy. My oncologist confirmed the diagnosis of plasmacytoma, and sent me to radiation oncology to shrink the tumor. I had 28 radiation treatments over the next two months.

We have wonderful friends, a very supportive church and family that live close by, so we worked out a schedule for those who volunteered to watch the kids and drive me to radiation. Prayer and their encouragement kept me from being fearful.

At the end of my radiation treatment, I had great news that the tumor was dying. From the beginning, however, we knew that if the cancer was in multiple locations, the diagnosis would change. More testing and a second bone marrow biopsy indicated that I did have multiple myeloma.

Now it seemed like we had to start the whole process over. We let our close friends and family know that there would be additional treatment. Once again, I had to trust in God and my doctors.

I was so fortunate because my oncologist began consulting with a specialist at a Comprehensive Cancer Center in our region who was doing research on multiple myeloma. They worked together on an aggressive treatment regimen that would include chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. It was designed to put me into a more durable remission.

In early winter 2009/2010, I began this next stage of treatment with four rounds of chemotherapy — bortezomib and dexamethasone. With my husband’s farming, we requested the transplant be in February because we were going to be gone six to eight weeks. We bought a laptop and web camera, which helped us stay in touch with the children while we were gone.

We arrived at the cancer center Feb. 1 for an autologous stem cell transplant. They first collected and froze my stem cells. Next was high dose chemotherapy (melphalan) for two days. On Feb. 16, I had the transplant which thankfully went well. I was hopeful to get to go home quickly, but during my recovery, I had several bouts of high fevers. The delay was very disappointing, but it was due to a bad reaction to penicillin.

By the time I left on March 19, I was in very good partial remission. At my day 100 appointment, the doctor confirmed that the stem cell transplant had worked and I was still in very good partial remission. They started me on the maintenance drug lenalidomide, which I took until my one-year appointment. At that time, they told me I was in complete remission!

Multiple myeloma is not curable, but it’s treatable. I’m thankful that my doctors watch me closely to make sure they catch it if it comes back. While I won’t say what we went through was easy, I felt very protected. I attribute that to wonderful doctors, prayer, support from family and friends, not living in fear and worry, and giving it all over to God.

71 Percent of Small Business Owners Expect Growth in 2016

In December 2015, Wasp Barcode Technologies, a provider of software solutions, 71 Percent of Small Business Owners Expect Growth in 2016conducted an anonymous online survey to gain a deeper understanding of small business owners’ perceptions of their confidence in the economy, employment, and growth. The State of Small Business Report includes data from 1,102 owners or managers of companies spanning a wide variety of industries employing five to 499 employees. This year, the majority of small businesses are hopeful about their revenue growth, although a notable percentage anticipates modest growth. Overall, the top three challenges small business owners face are hiring new workers, increasing profits, and purchasing employee healthcare.

Confidence in the Economy

While 30 percent of owners’ confidence in the economy remains the same as it was one year ago, 44 percent believe 2016 will present a stronger economy. Twenty-eight percent of small business owners have confidence that it will be slightly better in 2016, while 16 percent believe it will be significantly better. One percent of respondents were unsure, and one quarter of all respondents hold pessimistic views. Small businesses with five to 50 employees are more pessimistic about the economy than they were in 2015.

Top Challenges

The biggest hurdle small business owners believe they will confront in 2016 is hiring new employees; however, when broken down into four groups based on the size of the company, owners responded differently. For those with five to 10 employees, increasing their profits topped the list of challenges. Owners with 11 to 50 and 51 to 100 employees considered hiring new employees to be the most challenging, while those with 101 to 499 employees placed employee healthcare as their top concern. When compared to last year’s report, small business owners claim that employee healthcare and hiring will be a greater challenge for them in 2016.

71 Percent of Small Business Owners Expect Growth in 2016

Strategies to Improve Revenue Growth

On an optimistic note, 71 percent of small business owners expect to see their revenues increase in 2016. Strategies these companies intend to implement to achieve this growth include:

  • Boosting the retention of current customers and improving the experiences of these customers (48 percent);
  • Introducing fresh products and/or services (31 percent);
  • Increasing their market reach (30 percent);
  • Hiring new workers (29 percent); and
  • Investing in ways to attract new customers (28 percent).

2016 Hiring Trends

The report also provided a glimpse into the hiring trends for small businesses in 2016. Half of all small business owners plan to hire more workers this year; this is up from 38 percent last year. While 21 percent expect to bring on only one or two employees, 35 percent plan to hire three to five. Twenty-six percent of employers will seek six to 10 additional workers, and 16 percent will hire 11 or more employees.

While there are certainly substantive challenges facing small business owners this year, there are also plenty of opportunities for growth. By offering a compelling benefits package, including health insurance, small business owners can recruit quality employees and increase employee retention, which will in turn boost revenue in the long run.

Paving The Road To Compliance: Serialization Standardization Through Open-SCS

Compliance: Serialization Standardization Through Open-SCS

By Volker Ditscher, Business Manager and Martin Kuhn, Vice President

At $200 billion annually, fake pharmaceutical drugs make up the largest, global counterfeit market. While less than one percent of counterfeit drugs are sold in industrialized nations, such as the United States, 10 to 30 percent of medicines sold in developing countries are counterfeit1. In some countries, this number is as high as 70 percent. The federal mandate, Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), enacted in November 2015, attempts to combat this problem by outlining a timeline of serialization mandates that stretch all the way to 2024. It is expected that the majority of the global drug supply will fall under some type of serialization requirement by 2018.

As companies around the world implement the necessary changes to become compliant, it will add an increased level of cost, risk, and especially complexity to today’s operations.

What will raises be this year?

Jan 2007

Q. Assuming employees are meeting the requirements of their position, what are the new standards of annual salary increases (percentage-wise)? Also, what happens to long-term employees who are earning beyond the position's salary range, because they steadily received 4 percent increases and are now almost "overpaid"? Do they stop getting raises?

A. Each year, salary survey companies ask employers to tell them how much their merit budgets will be for the upcoming year. Most companies don't know what their merit budgets will be until sometime in the fall. Then they report those merit budgets to the survey companies. As of August 2001, has seen some decrease in the rate of salary increases, more in the form of lower offers to new hires than in reduced budgets for merit increases, which won't appear for a few months.

The way a company handles its long-term employees normally depends on its overall compensation strategy. If a company's philosophy is to pay a competitive wage and reward high performers, then it is less concerned with whether someone is a long-term or a short-term employee. Companies normally pay the average or median market rate for employees who are fully proficient in their jobs. If an employee's performance is well above market, an employer will probably pay above the median or average market rate.

Some employees are high achievers because they have been performing a job for quite some time. Generally, companies don't want to pay such employees more than 25 to 30 percent above market because they know they can find someone to perform the same function for less money. However, if a company wants to reward its high performers whose base salaries are well above market, it can offer them lump-sum payments rather than increasing their base pay. This way, companies still reward employees who are doing a great job without increasing their fixed costs.

Good luck.

Impact (impulse) between two rotating (around fixed axis) bodies

  1. Aug 10, 2011 #1

    I would be very happy if someone could give me a little advice or a hint about my problem.

    The problem: I have to analyze the impact (colision) of two rotating bodies around a separate fixed axis. The body #1 hits (when rotating) the stationary body #2, then they both start/continue to rotate in same direction (around different fixed axis).
    The angular momentum is constant before/between/after the impact.

    The goal is to determine the set of equations using the "law" of contstant angular momentum and "epsilon" - the factor between the Impulse (of force) before and after the impact.

    The result would be in the form of something like this (this is for colinear impact for translatory movement). I have to get it for angular impulse.

    v1' - velocity ob body #1 after the impact
    v1 - velocity of body #1 before the impact
    v2 - velocity of body #2 before the impact
    epsilon - factor betweetn impulse (of force) before and after the impact
    m1, 2 - the mass of each body

    I would be very thankful for any kind of help (advice, source - where to look, literature, etc...)

    I think a HS student could handle the first 3 chapters.But if you're not interested in trying (& hopefully succeeding) to become a physicist,then it's no point in adding it to your bookshelf.

    It's good.But for college.

    No it's not. Read the introduction and preface. She's recommending it for sophomores and juniors AFTER one has had a full year of college calculus.

    do you plan on going into computational sciences in physics/chemistry/biology/math
    if so i suggest picking up a "Numerical Recipes in" C/C++/Fortran...Just to get started on your numericals engine earlier. If you just wanna do theory then I would wait for university plus that book is really OLD.

    I suggest picking up "computational Beauty of Nature" Gary Flake
    or a University INtro to Calc text firsT(ie James Stewart) or some newer Mathphys book

    I'm sorry, but this is the silliest comment I've heard about the Boas text. It is "OLD"? For a math book?

    Anyone who has read my series on "So You Want To Be A Physicist" would have noticed that I could not recommend this text any stronger. I would stake my reputation as a physicist in insisting that ANY physics, or physical science/engineering student should get this text without hesitation. It is presented in a clear and simple manner that any student who has had a complete calculus course can pick up. It is certainly meant for students to use even on their own before the encounter the mathematics necessary in classes such as QM and E&M.

    I have recommended this text many times over the years, and EVERYONE so far has indicated how valuable this text is. It is extremely irresponsible for anyone to make uninformed comment such as yours simply based on its publication date (as if mathematics goes out of date) without even looking at the content. As someone who used it through my graduate school years, and continue to refer to it even as a practicing physicist, I would urge anyone who is majoring or thinking of majoring in physics to seriously consider getting this text.

    In my opinion and from my short perusal of the description in
    https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0262561271/002-3011901-6545641?v=glance , the "Computational Beauty of Nature" is interesting, but it is no substitute for Boas for studying standard undergraduate physics.

    The third edition of Boas (2005) is available now.

    (The only thing I didn't like about Boas' (2nd edition) text was that my book's binding broke. :frown: )

    zapperz: my post implied merely that if he were wanting to pick up a book NOW that perhaps that book is not best suited for him (because it is rather old so would use terminology that he would not understood...and i did glance at the book) you yourself said that it was aimed for people in 2nd-3rd year university. Also there are some books today that not only give theory but also code(Landau & Paez) I think alot of science students today should have programming as a skill.

    Robphys: I suggested CBN for simulation sciences not for undergrad physics.
    the poster is after all a highschool student whom seems to want to study math, and perhaps but not necessarily physics. I wish i had CBN when i was going into university
    and it is the concepts of Computability that may be of interest to him.
  9. May 22, 2005 #8
    Well I now realize I'm going to have to wait on this book, but I'll make sure to put it on my list. As for the programming, I'm already a programmer and planned on persuing a career in computer science before I changed to physics. It's the math that I lack at the moment. Although, I'm not saying I know everything about programming. I'm going to look at the books you suggested when I can, neuro.

    Thanks for all your replies.

    And you don't think I'm aware of that?

    Your advise was to ignore this text and pick up something newer, be it now, or later (would it be even "older" later?). No advise could be WORSE than telling someone that regarding this text.

    It is rather old and use terminology that he would not understand? Huh? Give me examples of the so-called "old" terminolgy. I've used this text extensively, even TODAY, and I haven't come across a single terminology that is out of date. And I have the 2nd edition AND the students solution manual sitting in front of me right now.

    Mary L. Boas book have been using as a reference book of lectures and students in university here
  13. Jul 15, 2006 #12
    Differences between editions:
    -Tensors are more throughly explained in chapter 10, also the section of Matrix Diagonalization is now part of chapter 3
    -Fourier integrals back to chapter 7, with Fourier series. Also, Laplace transform and Dirac delta are moved back to the differential equations chapter.
    -The probability chapter changes from 16 to 15 (since chapter 15 on integral transforms is now scattered around the book)
    -It's typed with LATEX!

    Overall, I feel the changes only made this text better. The ideas are more neatly tied up with the reorganization. Oh and, hello all, first post.

    If you have had a linear algebra course, a differential equations course, etc... then is it perfectly fine to skip the corresponding chapters in Boas? On the other hand, Boas does have applications, so it's probably worth it going back to them.
  15. Aug 7, 2006 #14
    It is awfully organised. It might be good as a reference, but it is horrible for a text book. Definitions and theorems seems very unclear for me. The section of vector calculus uses old notations that works well only in 3ds. Lack of introduction nearly all topics. Just buy yourself a good linear algebra book by Horn and Johnson and Vector Calculus book.

    Solution's Manual

    Hi! I'm physics student, and I'm using the "Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences" book, written byu Mary L. Boas. I don't complain about the text, but some explanation are really hard to understand. I have to keep a scholarship with an average of 90. I want to ask you if you know where I can find the solution manual for this book, to get a bit more of aid. I'm using the third edition, however, I heard that the second one is almost the same than the third edition.

    Could you help me?

    In my opinion, Boas is a most awesome reference book of important mathematical techniques ("tools") that are commonly required in nearly all fields of physics.

    I am taking a class (Math Physics) that uses it. It's actually not a required class for me either... I've mostly taken the class for the book (a fresh perspective on techniques never hurts either).

    If you're planning to be a physicist, I think this is an important book, but if you're still in High School, you might want to wait and see if a newer edition is out by the time you're taking courses.

    Alternatively, if you're planning on being a physicist, it would be nice to have Boas while you're taking the following required math classes (calc II, calc III, diff eq, applied analysis, complex analysis, linear algebra, and probably more) to accompany your math texts.
  18. Apr 14, 2008 #17
    I agree with most comments made, Boas is a GREAT book to have for a University level course in physics, I am a second year Physics undergrad and this book along with Jordan and Smith has everything I need for the first and second year math courses.

    But I do agree that for a HS it might be a bit too advanced to be worth buying now.
  19. Jun 18, 2008 #18
    The Boas book

    I am not in high school, I am much older than that, but I think the book would be great for a high schooler who uses books other than the usually lame books schools use. I won't go on a rant about state textbooks here but I recommend getting the book at a library before spending money on something one can't use.

    I have not attended college and I like this book. I have used one I borrowed from a library, the edition from 1983. Today I ordered one from Abebooks for $29.95 plus shipping and I know the list price is $130 or so. This is the 2005 edition. I will post if I receive the book and find it is not what I wanted, but I don't think there will be a problem since I ordered by ISBN.

    I have ordered through Abebooks before and have never been disappointed. Abebooks is sort of a clearinghouse that small book stores can use to sell books.

    So I would not say that it is a book for just college students. The author explains things really well.

    (Alibris is good too but I ordered this book through Abebooks)

    If you want to be a physicist, and you have no experience with calculus... that's the math you're missing!!! Boas is an awesome book, and you should definitely get it. It might have to sit on your shelf for a bit though. Learn calculus. Immediately.
  21. Dec 12, 2010 #20
    Boas is a great book. It had I think the clearest explanations that I've ever seen when I was taking a Math. Phys. course a long time ago. Of course, there are many new, modern books on the subject but Boas will never get old :)

    Try learning from the ground up, using right elements on the right time. If you jump to a higher level you just build house of playing cards.

Homework Help: Optimization minimize the amount of material used.

  1. Jan 4, 2012 #1
    I am having a lot of trouble with this problem. I don't actually know where to begin.

    A box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 62,500 cm3. Find the dimensions of the box that minimize the amount of material used.

    Need to find:
    sides of base cm
    height cm

    The usual place to start is to name your variables, say the height of the box and the length of the sides. Then can you write formulas for the volume of the box and area of materials used in terms of those variables?
  4. Jan 5, 2012 #3
    Oh boy, I remember when I started doing maths that I had problems trying to turn words into maths

    What I did was sketched the problem out along with all variables and what they represent.
    Then write down your equations, how do I find volume? what restrictions does the statement 'square base and open top' place on the variables? what will give me the ammount of material used?

    Once you've got everything written down, then you start with your calculus

    If you're anything like me, once you've got this down correctly you'll end up loving doing those elementary optimization problems!

    Large stable nuclei have more neutrons than protons. Which is the most plausible reason?

    a. neutrons are needed to moderate the strong Coulomb repulsion between the protons

    b. the neutron is heavier than the proton and thus produces heavier nuclei

    c. as protons are added to nuclei, they decay to neutrons (via beta decay) that remain in the nucleus
  2. jcsd

 PigProgress - USDA: revitalise rural zones; grow ag exports

USDA: revitalise rural zones; grow ag exports

US agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack discussed USDA's work to strengthen the American agriculture economy and revitalise rural communities in the keynote speech at the 2010 Commodity Classic in Anaheim, California, US.

Vilsack focused on the USDA's efforts to increase exports of agricultural products to help American farmers, ranchers, and workers.

Trade opportunities
"USDA's continued work to expand trade opportunities for America's hard-working farmers and ranchers will play an important role in our effort to rebuild rural communities across the country," said Vilsack at the 2010 Commodity Classic event. "Increased trade will not only create important income opportunities for producers, but also the off-farm jobs that are so critical for revitalising rural America."

In the State of the Union address, the president announced a National Export Initiative to coordinate federal efforts to help rebuild the economy by increasing export opportunities. The new roadmap announced will help achieve the president's goal of doubling all US exports in the next five years.

Agricultural trading partners
While the USDA has traditionally looked at agricultural trading partners by geographic region, under the new trade strategy outlined by Vilsack, the USDA looks at countries based on their position on an agricultural market continuum, which enables tailored strategies to increase exports to each individual market.

The continuum goes from fragile markets/food security states, to potential growth markets, to restricted access markets, to rapid growth markets, to developed consumer markets. The new strategy will improve collaboration among USDA agencies and guide priorities for international staffing, foreign assistance, and agricultural research.

Potential growth markets
For example, in potential growth markets, USDA programmes will now emphasise building the institutional and human capacity needed to support increased trade, while in restricted access markets, USDA efforts are designed to remove trade barriers. In rapid growth markets, USDA will now emphasise using a full range of programs to build trade capacity, remove trade barriers and develop new markets for US products.

The annual value of US agricultural exports is rapidly increasing. Ten years ago the annual value was less than $50 billion and this year, even with the sharp global economic downturn, USDA estimates agricultural exports to reach $100 billion, the second highest level ever. USDA will continue to push hard for an open rules-based international trading system that will benefit both consumers and suppliers of agricultural products around the world.
