John Oliver's career as lead correspondent on "The Daily Show," active standup performer and occasional actor in TV and movie comedies is quite different from the goals he had at prestigious University of Cambridge.
"I studied English in college, which seems like cheating when you're already English," Oliver says in his familiar accent over the phone in New York. But while at Christ's College, Cambridge, "I started writing sketches, realizing that's what I wanted to do with my life."
While he wouldn't normally think of performing comedy on a stage, he says, "I thought it would be a frightening thing to do, so I tried it. I also got hooked on it. Which I'm sure would be the same case with heroin."
His addiction to comedy led him to his Emmy-winning slot on "The Daily Show," host of the "John Oliver's New York Stand Up Show," also on Comedy Central; a recurring role on the NBC sitcom "Community"; several movies, from "The Love Guru" to the upcoming "The Smurfs"; and a standup career that brings him to Comix at Foxwoods in his Connecticut debut Saturday, June 4.
He describes "a comedic pedigree" at Cambridge, where he was a member of the Footlights troupe, from which Monty Python had sprung decades before.
"I thought I'd try it and I liked it a lot straight away," Oliver says of the comedy troupe. "I spent a lot more time there than on my degree, to the frustration of my tutors. By third year, I was a lost cause. I began thinking I had come there to learn comedy."
He developed an act at the annual Edinburgh Fringe Festival but had never been to America before he got a call to come to the "Daily Show" in 2006.
"It came out of nowhere really," Oliver says of the show. "I didn't even know they were looking for someone. I guess Ricky Gervais met up with Jon Stewart and recommended me. I came out straight away, so quickly that my stuff is still in storage in England. I came over with two bags and have rarely been back since then."
Oliver had heard of the "Daily Show. " "It was my favorite show. I watched it online and it had just started being aired in England. I'd never been to America at that point and thought it would be so remote that I'd ever get on. It all happened very quickly."
Oliver brought with him an interest in political humor and quickly flourished in a position where Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Ed Helms and Rob Corddry had preceded him, especially in filmed interview bits, where his English roots came in handy.
"An accent gives you an air of authority," he says. "If you're pretending to be an arrogant newsman, it's quite useful. People mistakenly believe you have some in-depth knowledge because of your accent. And you can get away with more, either because the words sound nicer or you're getting politer than you really are."
Therefore his questions can be more and more outrageous, as when he interviewed immigration advocates and told them that his immigration experience was exactly the same.
Sometimes it's not easy to be such a jerk interviewing people, Oliver says.
"I try to keep it up most of the time. I spoke to Stephen Colbert and he was good in teaching me how to stay in focus; that you have to think about the edit. Sometimes it can be difficult to say things you know you're about to say. But if you know you'll be in edit bay wishing you'd said it, it becomes more annoying not saying it."
By now, he says, the "Daily Show" is so well known, interview subjects "know we're going to come at them there's going to be stupid questions." But because "we choose people because they have a fervent point of view," they usually agree to come on the show anyway. "And the interviews that are most contentious are the ones where they call up and ask for 30 copies for their family."
Oliver is amazed at the access the comedy show continues to get. "We have better access than we've had in the past. We're given journalist credentials even though we have no journalistic qualifications. We're invited to [political] conventions and debates even though we probably shouldn't be allowed in the same room."
As for actual journalists with whom they sometime share press areas, "usually they're really welcoming, saying they love the show until you start messing with them," Oliver says. "Then, as soon as you start annoying them, they realize no, we're not on their side, and that we're there to ruin everyone's day."
Journalists also tell him confidentially they wish they could do the kind of reporting they do on "The Daily Show," where quotes from leaders are often contrasted to things they said on video years ago that are often the opposite of what they said.
"The fact of the matter, they could do what we do, with much more ease than we do it," he says. "We do it with five guys and a stack of TiVos."

However, this time around, they've minimized the layout by shrinking the row of buttons to a mere 3 – as opposed to the 4 we're normally accustomed to seeing. Additionally, numbers and punctuations aren't available through the keyboard, but they've been turned into virtual keys that sit above the top row for quick access.+ View Specs

CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee this morning.
He is expected to miss 2-4 weeks.
Jeffery was injured in Monday's loss at San Francisco and left in the second half. It was the second injury for the rookie, who had missed the previous four games with a broken right hand.
A second-round draft pick, Jeffery has 16 catches for 199 yards and two touchdowns.

YUMA, AZ - After 17 days city officials have released new information about how a prisoner escaped from the custody of city court officers. They say Raul Dominguez broke out through a door that had a faulty lock on it.
City officials also admit the lock on this same door has been broken for six months. The door is located in the sally port. The sally port is located underground. It's an area where city court officers bring in prisoners for court hearings. It's supposed to be under lockdown once the prisoners arrive.
"I've been told it's six months," said Angela Graddy, City Court Administrator about the broken door.
KSWT News 13 asked when this broken door was reported to the city. "That's part of the administrative investigation. We don't know that yet at this time," said Dave Nash, City of Yuma Spokesperson. Nash did not address the issue any further. But he did confirm the sally port underneath city court is supposed to be a highly secured area equipped with surveillance cameras.
"We do know that the critical point of when the escape happened was in the area, secure area where the van goes to load prisoners and up to this facility, we can say that that's where the issue occurred," explained Nash.
We also learned today Dominguez hid underneath a transport van inside the sally port before escaping through the broken door. The city would not say how Dominguez managed to do so without being detected in an area with several surveillance cameras.
But we do know Dominguez was being transported to city court with nine other prisoners. He was wearing handcuffs and shackles around his ankles when he broke out.
As for changes to make sure no other prisoner escapes from city court again, the city claims it will do the following: moving forward, city court officers will only transport five prisoners at a time from the county detention center to city court. Again, Dominguez was one of ten prisoners being transported the day he escaped. Plus, prisoners who face felony charges, like Dominguez, will no longer be transported to city court. Instead - they'll face a judge via video.
As for the investigation, police say there is no indication it was an inside job. However, there are still many unanswered questions.
"It's nothing that has ever occurred here before," said Graddy.
City officials say it will continue to review its policies to make sure a prisoner does not escape from its custody again.
We asked city officials if anyone will be held accountable or face disciplinary action; they would not say.

Biomarkers: Discovery Techniques and Applications - A Global Market Overview

Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:
Companies in this industry manufacture and process pharmaceutical products. Major companies include Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, Merck & Co, and Pfizer (all based in the US), as well as AstraZeneca (UK), Bayer (Germany), GlaxoSmithKline (UK), Novartis (Switzerland), Roche Holding (Switzerland), and Sanofi (France).
The global pharmaceutical manufacturing industry generates more than $950 billion in annual revenue. Leading pharmaceutical-producing countries include France, Germany, Switzerland, and the UK. The US and the EU remain the largest importers of pharmaceuticals, but manufacturers are targeting emerging economies for growth.
The US pharmaceutical manufacturing industry includes about 1,500 companies with combined annual revenue of about $200 billion. New products drive growth.
Demand for pharmaceuticals is driven by the desire to cure illness and disease. The profitability of individual companies depends on their ability to discover and market new drugs. Large companies benefit from their economies of scale in research, manufacturing, and marketing. Small companies can compete effectively by specializing in drugs that target one or two specific ailments. The US industry is highly concentrated: the 50 largest companies account for more than 80 percent of revenue.
The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry is marked by rapid advances in scientific knowledge that produce ever-more effective medicines. The traditional drug manufacturing industry increasingly overlaps with the biotechnology industry, which is a source of many new medical treatments. To a large extent, traditional drug manufacturers are becoming development and marketing companies that acquire new drugs... SHOW LESS READ MORE >

Expressions Dental Care in Reston, Virginia uses the most useful technology to ensure that every patient has the most comfortable experience possible. Among their many services, they use CEREC technology to expedite various reconstructive procedures
June 13, 2014 /MM-prReach/ —
Expressions Dental Care is always using the most effective technologies, such as CEREC, to provide efficient, high quality service. A recent addition to the office is the use of CEREC (Chair-side Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, or CE-ramic RE-Construction), which is an astonishing technology that facilitates the creation of ceramic models of the patient's teeth. The machinery will make an identical copy of the teeth just by photographing it. This type of restoration differs from conventional dentistry in that the CEREC process is so fast, that the prosthesis is frequently bonded the same day. To learn more about CEREC technology and this treatment, visit http://restonvadentist.com/cerec-technology-in-reston-va/.
In addition to their high-tech equipment, Expressions Dental Care is currently offering $500 off on Invisalign treatments, which consists of invisible braces that are clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten teeth. This procedure is splendid for people who want to have straighter teeth but do not want or like to go through the struggle of getting braces. To get more information about Invisalign treatment and their generous offer contact Expressions Dental Care or visit http://restonvadentist.com/invisalign-treatment-reston/.
At Expressions Dental Care, what matters the most is the patient's comfort and pleasure. To demonstrate their dedication to that ideal, there are a range of amenities offered to patients. These include a full beverage bar, free WiFi, TVs, and blankets for total comfort and relaxation.
Besides providing common dental procedures such as cleanings and fillings, Expressions Dental Care offers cosmetic and restorative treatments, wisdom teeth extractions, and emergency dentistry. For more extensive procedures, the Expressions Dental Care team uses IV treatment and oral sedation, to release the patient's visit of pain and anxiety. Among the Expressions Dental Care provided services, they also utilize nitrous oxide to help ease the patient's discomfort, the use of Isolite, which illuminates the patient's mouth from the inside and allows the patient to reduce the strain on their jaw by not forcing them to open as widely. It also provides efficiency, clinical results, safety, and patient comfort.
For Expressions Dental Care's team, the patient's comfort is the main goal in order to make sure that the patient returns and becomes a member of their dental family. They focus on making sure that every patient gets the right treatment plan to fulfill their individual needs without having to go through painful or uncomfortable procedures, and at the same time giving them beautiful and healthy smiles.

Kings boss resigns
Eastern Province Rugby Union CEO Anele Pamba has resigned from his position with immediate effect, a decision which has left the organisation's president Cheeky Watson in "shock".
Pamba was the EPRU's deputy president in 2008 and agreed to take up the interim CEO position in 2009, until such a time when the Kings were given a chance to play in the Super Rugby tournament - which they are set to do in 2013.
Watson paid tribute to Pamba's contribution at the Kings and admitted that he will be difficult to replace.
"Of course this decision comes as a shock to many of us, and certainly Anele's enthusiasm and dedication will be sorely missed," he told the RuggaWorld website
"However, we cannot prevent him from wanting to pursue other avenues and projects and we certainly wish him well in his future endeavours."
General Manager, Charl Crous, will act in the CEO role until a full-time replacement is found.

CHENEY, Wash.-- The driver in a crash on Saturday admitted to having two Bloody Mary's and five beers according to court documents. The driver's son was seriously injured in the wreck.
Washington State Patrol said three people were injured Saturday evening in a crash just outside of Cheney.
WATCH: Boy, two others injured in Cheney crash
Authorities said Curtis Cooley, 47, was trying to pass multiple vehicles in the eastbound lane of State Route 904 in a no passing zone. Officials said Cooley then hit another vehicle in the eastbound lane.
Cooley faces vehicular assault charges. He remains out of jail as he awaits future court hearings.
The driver of the other vehicle, Raquel Caballero, 21, was injured and taken to the hospital. Cooley was also injured along with a boy who was in the car with him. Both were transported to the hospital. The boy was listed in critical condition Saturday night.
Cooley's son was seated behind him and lost consciousness by the time authorities arrived according to charging papers.
KREM 2 News was originally told the boy was 8-years-old. Court documents show he is 10-years-old. The boy had to be rushed into surgery after the crash to repair a tear in his intestines according to investigators.
Charging papers said Cooley told investigators he had been at an Eastern Eagle's football game and had alcoholic beverages at a tailgater there.

Louisville – As a way to keep neighborhoods one step ahead of criminals, a training session for block watches in LMPD's 4th Division will get underway on Tuesday, March 5th. Partnering with LMPD in the effort are several members of the Louisville Metro Council.
"Block watches are an important tool to keep a neighborhood safe." says Councilwoman Marianne Butler (D-15). "The 4th Division is including this training session as part of its 90 Days and 90 Nights campaign for crime prevention."
This is the third year Neighborhood Development Funds have been used to fund the training session. Joining Butler as sponsors of the training session are Dan Johnson (D-21), David James (D-6), David Tandy (D-4), Jim King (D-10) and Mary C. Woolridge (D-3).
The session will cover several areas for those involved in block watches. It will be an opportunity to for people to meet one another and help spread the word about the importance of having an active neighborhood block watch program. Officers will share new trends in crime prevention.
"Public safety is a top priority for the Council," said Butler.
The event begins at 5:30pm and will be held at the South Louisville Community Center, 2911 Taylor Blvd.
For more information, contact the Fourth Division of Louisville Metro Police by calling 574-7010.

PHOENIX (AP) - The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to clear the way for an Arizona death row inmate to be executed Wednesday for killing a man more than 30 years ago during a robbery.
The court denied the state's request to lift a lower-court's order that blocked the execution.
The move by the nation's highest court postpones the execution of 70-year-old Edward Schad, who was convicted of murdering 74-year-old Lorimer "Leroy" Grove of Bisbee in 1978.
Authorities say Schad strangled Grove, drove across the country in Grove's car and used the victim's credit cards.
Schad's execution would mark Arizona's 34th since 1992.

Baltimore's Open Walls Project [Pictures]
Gaia, a Maryland Institute College of Art graduate, has been living and breathing the Open Walls Baltimore Project, a series of public art projects covering everything from an abandoned fried chicken restaurant to a bustling parking garage to the sides of modest East Baltimore row homes. Open Walls Baltimore 2 is a series of at least 17 works that will appear on walls throughout Station North. The project is organized by the Station North Arts and Entertainment District, with major funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, the PNC Foundation and the European Union National Institutes for Culture.

Open Walls Baltimore 2( Steve Ruark, for The Baltimore Sun / March 24, 2014 )
Gaia (pictured in front of a mural he is creating on the side of a Charles Street building), a 2011 Maryland Institute College of Art graduate whose legal name is Andrew Pisacane, is curating the Open Walls Baltimore 2 series, as he did the first Open Walls project in 2012. About half of the artists this time are people with Baltimore roots, including the prolific muralist Ernest Shaw; many of the others are friends and associates Gaia met while painting in Europe, South Africa and Argentina.

JA Camp volunteers strive to help children with arthritis through their volunteerism
Hosting a camp for kids and teens with rheumatic conditions, along with their families, is truly a team effort. Hundreds of volunteers make the Arthritis Foundation, Great West Region's four regional camps possible each year and make a difference in the lives of the families we serve. These volunteers tell us that in return, they are deeply impacted by their experience.
We want to introduce you to four remarkable individuals who donate their time to the Great West Region JA Camps. Each of these volunteers brings a unique set of experiences and perspectives to their volunteerism.
Helping Patients Find "Wholeness"
Dr. Peggy Schlesinger, affectionately referred to as "Dr. Peggy" by many, is a Rheumatologist at Seattle Children's Hospital and founder of Camp Limberlimbs Montana. In a recent presentation to a room full of medical students, she described how the concept of chronic disease is hard for children to grasp because it is very different from any other illness they have experienced in their life. Kids often think that a throat swab will "take all the bugs away" and they will get better. Dr. Peggy knows that it can be a long process for kids to come to the realization that their rheumatic disease won't go away like other illnesses they have experienced or heard of. As a physician, Dr. Peggy is passionate about truly connecting with her patients and she volunteers her time to help them through this process of "finding wholeness". She means the world to kids and teens at camp!
A parent's perspective on Dr. Peggy
As a parent of a young child diagnosed with JA, words cannot express my gratitude for Dr. Peggy Schlesinger. Our son Luke was diagnosed at 18 months with JA, and from the beginning I knew that our child was in the best hands possible with Dr. Peggy. She shows a genuine love and concern for her patients and their families. Her patients' health and future is her number one priority. She has always been there for Luke, and he has always looked forward to their visits. We have been blessed with her knowledge of the disease and her optimistic approach to the road that our child has faced. She is a doctor who obviously loves what she does, and it shows on the smiles of her patients that she has such an amazing impact on.

Understanding a Sibling's Disease
Jens Pascucci is a Financial Advisor and in his free time he volunteers for the Arthritis Foundation's family camp, KAT-FISH Camp. Jens started volunteering shortly after his sister was diagnosed with arthritis. He felt like his involvement with the Arthritis Foundation provided a positive way for him to give back to the community and to learn more about what his sister was going through. At camp, Jens can be found leading games in the Teen Lounge or serving as a Camp Counselor for the oldest teen group. He has also been known to don a suit and tie and use his professional skills as a Certified Special Needs Advisor to provide a presentation on planning and Special Needs Trusts for parents.
Putting Personal and Professional Experience to Work
Shannon Braasch is an Arthritis Foundation Ambassador and Camp Limberlimbs Colorado volunteer. Shannon knew that her personal experience living with Lupus and her graduate degree in community counseling could help her relate to kids and teens who live with arthritis. However, she was surprised to learn that she "gained just as much as the kids" out of the camp experience. She loves that Camp Limberlimbs in Colorado encourages independence and that parents feel safe sending their kids because they know they have "the best possible medical care" while they are at camp. After her first summer volunteering at Camp Limberlimbs, Shannon confidently tells others "it's one of the best experiences I've ever had".
Giving Back to the Community
Joe Barnes started volunteering with the Arthritis Foundation's Oregon office and after a while decided to help out at Camp JAM. He realized that "what Camp JAM was giving to these kids was so much more than I could ever imagine". Helping kids learn about themselves and realize "they aren't as limited as they think" is important to him. He tells us that camp "never ceases to amaze me and I feel like I learn so much more than they do!" Joe is a strong believer in giving back to others and says "in the end, I feel our lives should be all about the kids and I think this is a perfect way to support that belief."

You Don't LOOK Sick! Living Well with Invisible Chronic Illness
A new book focuses on the journey to "living well" with a hidden disease.
Juvenile arthritis, like many forms of arthritis, can be an invisible disease. Learning to "live well" with a chronic illness that others cannot easily see can be a long process.
In the Introductory Conversation of their new book, You Don't LOOK Sick! Living Well with Invisible Chronic Illness, patient Joy Selak and her co-author and physician, Dr. Overman, discuss what prompted them to write a book together. Joy describes the confusion she experienced at the onset of multiple, chronic conditions and the difficulty she had finding her way to a compassionate physician. With Dr. Overman's help, she was able to navigate the difficult physical and emotional phases of the chronic illness experience, which they call Getting Sick, Being Sick, Grief and Acceptance. In time she is able to find her way to the fourth phase, Living Well, even with illness.
Below is an excerpt from You Don't LOOK Sick! Living Well with Invisible Chronic Illness - Introductory Conversation - by Joy H. Selak and Dr. Steven Overman, 2nd Edition, Demos Health.
Dr. Overman
Even though we don't fully understand how or why, I believe all of Joy's diagnoses are likely related to one another, much like the elephant that was really one beast, even though each of the blind examiners could only identify the separate parts.
It wouldn't make much difference if the blind men could see all of me, since my symptoms are invisible. Since I don't look sick, I don't get much acknowledgement for being sick. Often people are downright skeptical about the reality of my illnesses, and say so. I wasn't able to find many books to prepare me for the real world of living with illnesses like mine either. Most promised to explain 'Everything You Ever Wanted to Know' about one specific disease, but I have several, with symptoms that overlap. Other books offered 'Seven Easy Steps to the Cure' and implied that if the promised cure didn't happen for me, it was somehow my own fault. If my doctors couldn't offer me a cure, the last thing I needed was blame myself for failing to do so.
I decided I should write the book I could not find, but wanted to read. It wouldn't overwhelm the reader with technical information or promise an easy fix, but it would make them feel recognized. Readers would know they weren't alone in feeling scared and angry. They would feel empowered to fight for their rights and needs. I could offer hope that finding peace and personal growth can be a part of the long-term illness experience.
I asked Dr. Overman if he would write the book with me. It took me a long time to find Dr. Overman, and I thought by demonstrating how we work together, readers would be encouraged to keep looking until they found the right doctor for them. He could add his professional insight and wisdom and share other patients' stories, so readers would get more than just my experience. Between the two of us, perhaps the book could become a useful roadmap to guide others on a journey to a better life with illness.
Dr. Overman
When Joy first asked me to write a book with her, I casually said, "Sure," assuming the idea would pass. Obviously, I didn't know Joy very well yet, but I was curious and began to talk to my patients about these ideas. I asked, "What would be your best advice to help someone live well with a chronic illness?"
One patient gave my question some thought, and wrote this insightful response: "To live well, you need to understand that in a fast-paced, success-oriented society you are still valuable, even though you may be bedridden, unemployed, or suffering from chronic pain. The way to do this is to retain a positive self-image and a sense of usefulness. This is difficult to do, but essential."
The next time Joy asked me to co-author her book, I realized she was serious and I was hooked. I responded with a sincere and enthusiastic, "Yes!"

New Ways to Talk about Juvenile Arthritis
Local families discover that participation in Arthritis Walks brings unexpected benefits.
Each spring, the Arthritis Foundation holds hundreds of Arthritis Walks across the United States. These high energy events bring together local communities and people with arthritis of all ages and diagnoses. The Arthritis Walk is a proven way to raise support and community involvement around arthritis.
Beyond raising funds and community involvement for arthritis, there can be other great results for JA families that get involved with a local Arthritis Walk. These unexpected results can lead to kids with juvenile arthritis feeling better prepared and supported in dealing with their disease.
Joanne Brennan, and her 11 year-old daughter Claire, have had this experience. Diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid/idiopathic arthritis at age two, Claire had many struggles related to her JA over the years. Claire took part in the Denver Arthritis Walk in 2011 and then served as a Walk honoree in 2012.
Claire's school became actively involved with the Arthritis Walk after Claire first signed up for the event.
"Claire's teacher really helped to get the word out about the Walk. She put up posters throughout the school, formed a team and raised money through the school towards the Walk," says Joanne. "Because of her Arthritis Walk involvement, Claire had the opportunity to talk to her classmates about her arthritis and talk to other classrooms, too."
Joanne continues, "After her presentations to her classmates, there were a lot of kids going up to Claire, and parents coming up to me, who said 'Oh my gosh, I had no idea that kids get arthritis.'"
Eighteen year-old Claire Bradbury echoes that sentiment. Diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and spondyloarthropathy at age 12, Claire had many difficulties throughout her childhood when she tried to explain her JA to friends, teachers and family members.
"I joined the Anchorage Arthritis Walk when I was 13 years old and have been involved with other Arthritis Foundation events since then," Claire says. "I invited a lot of my friends to the Arthritis Walk. It helped people to better understand my arthritis and allowed an opportunity for friends and teachers to ask me about it."
She continues, "People were always wondering why I had knee braces on, but never knew how to ask me about it before then. There were other things they had always wondered about, too, like why I wasn't in gym class and why I couldn't sit still in my classes. Once they had the opportunity to ask me about it, I could tell them things like how it was important for me to get up, walk around and stretch during class to make my joints less stiff."
"It also helped my siblings to learn more about my arthritis and then understand why I couldn't always do my chores or other things at home."
Beyond creating awareness of arthritis among friends and classmates, taking part in the Arthritis Walk can help those with JA feel more confident about their disease.
Joanne offers, "After Claire was the honoree for the Walk and had to talk to hundreds of people at the event about her arthritis, it gave her a big boost to her confidence. When she saw that crowd of people it showed her that people really care about these issues."
"Now advocacy is very important to Claire," Joanne says. "She wants to keep using her voice to find better treatments and a cure."
Claire Bradbury saw firsthand the results of creating broader community awareness of arthritis and the impact that the Arthritis Walk can have on others.
"When I was an honoree at one of the events my face was plastered on posters all over town for the event. A lot of people came up to me and said that they had no idea I had arthritis," Claire reminisces. "My neighbor was one of those people. He had arthritis, too. We started talking about some of the troubles he was having with his disease, and was able to help him and get him connected to arthritis information."
Joanne and Claire have a similarly impactful story.
"There was a very powerful moment that happened after the Walk for Claire," says Joanne. "At the Walk there was a girl with JA in the audience that was going to be attending our local JA Camp for the first time that summer. She wrote a letter to Claire after the Walk to say that she couldn't wait to meet her at camp. That really showed us how Claire's taking part in the Arthritis Walk didn't just impact her and her classmates and friends, but other people, too."
Some families might have hesitations about getting their child with JA involved with a public event like the Arthritis Walk. Is it too soon after their diagnosis? Will it be too overwhelming to meet so many others with arthritis?
Claire offers her perspective about these concerns. "I thought I understood my arthritis, but it wasn't until I met other kids with arthritis and spoke with them that I realized new ways I could manage my disease, like that I needed more sleep. It really helps to be around other people with arthritis to see the different things they've learned that can help you. Most importantly, it shows you that you are not alone."

Growing Up with JA:
Tales of Transition
Hailey Daniels
Ogden, Utah
Diagnosed with arthritis at age 15
Currently 16 years old
Diagnosis story:
"I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis in September of 2011. My arthritis affects my hands, particularly my left hand, my knees, my wrist and sometimes other places."
What are some of the challenges and ups and downs you've had since diagnosis?
"When I was first diagnosed, it was hard accepting the fact that I had arthritis. I was in the middle of my tennis season, really busy with student government and there were a lot of things going on in school – it was a crazy, busy time. It was hard and stressful to adapt to everything, work with my teachers and tell them about my arthritis. I was on an emotional rollercoaster. I realized that it was something that I had to get used to and that I needed to adapt, but that it would take time."
How did you first get connected with the Arthritis Foundation?
"A month after my diagnosis I was doing a lot of research into what was going on with my body. I found the Arthritis Foundation website. It was so cool – there was a lot of good information. I found out that there was a local office in Salt Lake City. I stopped by the office to ask questions and share some ideas I had and find out how I could get involved and help out. Shortly after that, the Arthritis Foundation asked me to be the honoree for the 2012 Salt Lake City Arthritis Walk. A few months after that I was also one of the honorees for the People's Coast Classic bike event in Oregon."
What were some of the ways the AF initially supported or helped you?
"The biggest thing was that the Arthritis Foundation gave me ways to get involved so that I could forget about my problems of having arthritis, learn more about it and help other people at the same time."
When you were diagnosed, how physically active were you?
"I was really active when I was diagnosed. I was in the middle of my tennis season. I was running a lot. I was also very busy with student government."
How has exercise and physical activity helped you and your arthritis?
"Exercise helps me feel better overall, especially my self-esteem. After I exercise my attitude is better and I feel better about myself. For me, I feel like it's a non-productive day if I don't exercise. Mobility and activity helps me forget about any problems or pain."
What's your advice for others with JA who want to start exercising? How should they get started?
"They should find things they are interested in and try them out. Like I just joined the swim team this year, and I love it. Find the activities you are passionate about. Do it in baby steps, though. You may not be the best at a new activity at first, so plan to work up to the sport you want to play. Do activities with your friends, too. That always makes it more fun. There are so many cool activities out there… Zumba, yoga (super good for your joints), swimming (is almost always pain free). Go out there and do it!"
Does arthritis still influence your everyday life?
"My arthritis is always something that's on my mind. I'm probably never going to have a day where I don't think about it. But it also motivates me to be better and push myself, whether it's when I'm writing, in school, playing tennis or running."
How does the perspective you have gained from having arthritis influence or motivate you?
"Having arthritis makes me want to accomplish things even more and reach the impossibilities. It doesn't bring me down, because I know that no matter what, I can still accomplish my dreams. I wake up every morning and decide to have a positive day. I want to tell my arthritis what's up, not the other way around. In this way, sometimes I feel like my arthritis is more of a blessing than a trial. It's given me an even stronger perspective on what's important."
What recommendations would you offer to teens and young adults who have been just diagnosed?
"Don't get discouraged. Think of arthritis just as a bump in the road. It's not going to take over your life. People have lots of challenges in life, and arthritis is just one of them. Don't let it shape you and tell you who you are or what you can or can't do. You are more than arthritis.
I was in shock mode when I was diagnosed. Then my sister Jenisy called me. She said 'Don't let this disease control you or scare you. Don't let it hold you back. You're going to make a difference and turn this trial into a positive experience. I know it.'
Just like my sister, know that there are people around you that love and support you. Don't forget that. Find someone to talk to! Call me or find a local person with JA through the Arthritis Foundation to talk with about arthritis. It helps!"

Two Biologics Help Children with Systemic Juvenile Arthritis
Actemra and Ilaris could be "game changers."
By Jennifer Davis / Reprinted from ArthritisToday.org
1/9/13 New studies testing the effectiveness of two biologics in children with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) have found that both drugs – tocilizumab (Actemra) and canakinumab (Ilaris) – result in major improvements. In some cases, kids felt better within a day.
"The results are thrilling. They are dramatic. They will be game changers for kids with sJIA," says Daniel J. Lovell, MD, co-author of the studies and associate director of the division of rheumatology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
Actemra was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2011 for sJIA, a potentially life-threatening form of juvenile arthritis that causes inflammation in joints and organs, as well as fevers, rash and fatigue. But Dr. Lovell says that some pediatric rheumatologists have been waiting to see the results of larger clinical trials before prescribing Actemra in lieu of older drugs.
Ilaris is not FDA-approved for sJIA, but it is prescribed for the condition "off-label." Novartis, the drug's manufacturer, says data from the trials form "the basis for worldwide regulatory submissions," which is "on track" in the U.S.
The new research – carried out by two international research networks, the Pediatric Rheumatology Collaborative Study Group and the Paediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation – was published recently in two articles in The New England Journal of Medicine. The first article detailed a randomized trial of tocilizumab, a drug that inhibits interleukin-6 (IL-6), a cytokine – or molecule – involved in immune and inflammatory processes. The study found that two-thirds of patients taking tocilizumab had significant improvement after just one dose. After a year on the drug, 80 percent of patients had no fever and an improvement in symptoms of at least 70 percent.
The second article detailed two randomized trials of canakinumab, which targets a different cytokine, interleukin-1 (IL-1), also involved in immune and inflammatory processes. The first trial, which lasted nearly a month, showed 84 percent of participants had marked improvement in symptoms after two weeks on the medication. The second (longer) trial showed 74 percent had no flares compared to those receiving placebo.
"With either treatment the systemic features resolved very quickly – from a few hours to a few days. In many cases you start the medicine in the morning and come back in the afternoon and the kids are feeling better. It's extraordinary," Dr. Lovell says. "It's like these two agents are designer drugs for sJIA because the disease is driven by either interleukin-1 or interleukin-6, or a combination of the two. You can block either one and for 80 percent of these kids, it's truly dramatically different. Their lives are profoundly different."
Dr. Lovell says the results of these studies are especially encouraging because the improvements were seen in children who were treatment-resistant.
While older biologics – TNF inhibitors – are prescribed for some types of juvenile arthritis, they are not very effective in controlling the whole body (systemic) features of sJIA. Treatment with corticosteroids helps control the systemic symptoms, but used long-term, they carry a high risk of side effects, such as inhibited growth, high blood pressure and weight gain.
In both trials, the treatments allowed for a significant tapering of corticosteroids.
Dr. Lovell says long-term studies will look for answers to better understand long-term safety issues and address other questions, such as whether some patients have disease that is more closely linked to IL-6 or IL-1. "If you don't respond to one of these agents, what are your chances of responding to the other? That's an unknown question. That's something that will need to be defined once the agents are out more in clinical use," Dr. Lovell says.
Christy I. Sandborg, MD, a professor of pediatric rheumatology at Stanford University School of Medicine in Palo Alto, Calif., co-authored an editorial accompanying the studies that remarked on the impressive effectiveness of the drugs and the speed with which they helped children. But she agrees there is still a lot to learn about these medications.
"The question is, are they targeting the same thing? A similar step in the same pathway? Or are they targeting different things? And that's something we don't know," Dr. Sandborg says.
She agrees long-term safety and efficacy need to be studied, especially if doses have to be increased over time. She also stresses that the medications didn't help 20 percent of patients in these studies. "It doesn't work in everybody. It's not perfect. It's not a silver bullet. But it's pretty close to it," Dr. Sandborg says.
"These drugs are incredibly effective. It really is a new era. And now it's incumbent on us – doctors and the FDA – to monitor these agents to make sure that we understand the safety profile so that we can all make the best decisions and tailor the therapies," she says.
Dr. Sandborg says one way to do that is through the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) – an organization of more than 350 pediatric rheumatologists and researchers in the U.S. and Canada committed to researching juvenile arthritis. So far about 60 centers are working with the group to enroll children in a registry to track symptoms and treatments. To find out more, visit carragroup.org.

World Wetlands Day 2001: USA
From Miami, Florida
I wanted to inform you of an activity the Florida Native Plant Society is holding in support of World Wetlands Day at Everglades National Park. It's an ongoing project and our first workday was attended by over 40 volunteers!
Tiffany Troxler Gann
Florida International University
Department of Biological Sciences
Miami, FL 33199
If you have stopped at the Ernest Coe Visitors Center at the entrance to Everglades National Park recently, you might have noticed that the landscaping is ... well ... in need of "fixing". When the replacement for the old visitors center destroyed by Hurricane Andrew opened several years ago, the landscaping was attractive but included some exotic and inappropriate species. The years and lawn mowers have not been kind, and the first sight of the Everglades seen by thousands of visitors from all over the world each year is not entirely pretty.
To assist the Park in this necessary clean-up and to help celebrate World Wetlands Day (http://www.ramsar.org) which marks the date of the signing of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, an intergovernmental treaty that provides the framework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources, the DADE COUNTY FLORIDA NATIVE PLANT SOCIETY is working with Alan Scott, the park ranger in charge of interpretive facilities, to revamp the landscaping to make it more attractive and more representative of the Everglades habitats. A committee from the chapter has surveyed the grounds and planned the initial work. The landscaping will serve not only to beautify the grounds of the visitors center, but also to demonstrate landscaping with natives to local residents.
The initial sections to restore are the "pinelands" adjacent to the parking lot and between the visitors center and the park offices. Young pines (up to about 8') and saw palmettos are essentially the only pineland species visible. However, by carefully searching through a large bed of zoyzia grass, a surprising number of healthy quailberry plants from the original landscaping can be found still growing under the grass! Most of the pineland area needs the addition of understory plants. Equipment and some non-plant supplies (including signs) will be supplied by the park. Obtaining plants, mulch, and other required materials will be a joint effort -- hopefully, you can supply some.
IF YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP OR DONATE MATERIALS, PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL CARRIE CLELAND (305-661-9023;email@example.com)
(1) HELP ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, FROM 8:30 UNTIL NOON to remove the zoyzia grass by hand and clear weeds and grass in sensitive areas where pines and other plants are to be preserved. We will also do other maintenance and exotic removal. Please bring your own hand trowel and gloves, if possible. Refreshments provided. Shovels, picks and pruning tools might be useful as well.
(2) HELP AT A LATER WORKDAY. Let us know if youd like to be added to the list of potential volunteers for future ongoing work days.
(3) PLANTS! If you might have plants to donate now or in the future, please call Carrie or Patty to discuss our needs and requirements.
(4) PINE NEEDLE MULCH from southern slash pines.
(5) FUNDS. Donations or help in obtaining grant funding for additional plants, supplies and educational literature.
(6) ROCKS -- local oolitic limestone ranging from fist size up to about 2 feet tall and wide to use as barriers to mowers and additions to the pineland understory. (If you have even one rock, bring it!)
(7) ADDITIONAL /FUTURE COMMITTEE MEMBERS! This is an on-going project that will need DCFNPS coordination not only for the initial re-landscaping but also for the long-term maintenance.
Don't miss this opportunity to help show the world a real South Florida landscape -- without having 1.2 million visitors tromp through your native plant yard! Your rewards will be the pride of seeing and knowing the worth of the improvements, recognition of DCFNPS efforts, and free entrance to the park on the day of your work. Repeat volunteers at the park are honored with t-shirts and other ENP apparel and a volunteer recognition luncheon in March. Volunteer time can also be a tax deduction.
ENP Landscape Project Committee: Carrie Cleland (305-661-9023), Gwen Burzycki (305-372-6569), Patty Phares (305-255-6404).

Every day since 1950, quaint old Longhuino's has been serving up tasty Indian and Chinese dishes, popular with locals and tourists alike.
Every day since 1950, quaint old Longhuino's has been serving up tasty Indian and Chinese dishes, popular with locals and tourists alike.
Beloved by locals and visitors alike, teensy Fatima, with just four tables and set a few doors down from the church, is an Agonda institution, with a long and tasty menu whipped up inside its improbably small kitchen.
Proud winner of the Times of India Food Award in 2011 for best European restaurant in Goa, this swish place on the left as you head down the beach road dishes up a whole mixture of Euro-slanted dishes, from stroganoff and bourguignon through to gnocchi, carpaccio and Greek dolmas.
Superfresh food is the key to the fabulous Tibetan and even Italian dishes here. Go for the veg momo (Tibetan dumpling) soup and a nice hot bowl of pasta, and you might just decide to stick around in Vagator an extra day or two, to do it all over again.
On Majorda's southern 'Cabana Beach', across a little bamboo bridge, you'll find cute Greenland, run by a lovely British couple from Kent. The Goan chef cooks up a range of local specialities including xacutis and vindalhos, along with yummy banana fritters. It must be said, though, the couple are probably proudest of their spotlessly clean toilet.
Watch crammed passenger ferries and hulking casino boats chug by from a waterside table at this open-air multicuisine restaurant perched on the Mandovi banks, run by the venerable Hotel Mandovi across the road. There's a small playground for children and the multicuisine is tasty enough, though the location is without doubt the restaurant's biggest drawcard.
A huge sigh of relief comes from those who mourned the closing of Mamoos in Palolem a couple of years ago. But a big hoorah for its new location on the Patnem Beach road, where they're still dishing up the same delicious aloo gobi (cauliflower and potato curry) and killer tandoori paneers.
A local legend and also popular with Indian tourists, Martin's Corner , near Sunset Beach, is a great place to try out Goan cuisine, in a relaxed and quite upmarket setting. The xacutis and vindalhos here are superb, and there are plenty of tasty vegetarian options on offer. There's live music most nights from 8pm.
This garden-based casa has been knocking out tasty Mexican food for years, with the Latin tunes adding to the commendable attempt at making authentic Mexican burritos in a Goan beach town. Beware: don't come here if you're in a hurry. Service is notoriously slow, and you might find yourself knocking down one too many margaritas while waiting for anything edible to arrive.
Housed in an old Portuguese bungalow, this dim and tranquil retreat seems mightily out of place amid the tourist tat of Calangute's main beach drag. With a long and old-fashioned menu encompassing everything from 'sizzlers' to Goan specialities, and a cocktail list featuring the good old gimlet, this is a loveable time-warp, with a pool table to boot.
Stray beyond the Leela to the very end of the Mobor peninsula, and you'll be rewarded with one of the most picture-perfect spots in the whole of Goa, at this simple beach shack with an extensive all-day menu, run by friendly local Roque Coutinho. Wander to the spot where the River Sal meets the sea, and you'll be guaranteed beachside bliss.
For a fishy lunch so fresh it's still dithering, stop off at the Kamaxi Hotel in among the palms, run by the eccentric local, Laxaman Raikar. He stocks Kingfisher, if you're in need of something cold and frothy, and also has three exceedingly basic, somewhat grim and grotty rooms for rent – in case you get seriously stranded – for Rs200 apiece.

PHOENIX (AP) -- An Arizona administrative law judge says there's not enough evidence to conclude Republican Attorney General Tom Horne broke campaign finance law. Judge Tammy Eigenheer issued her ruling Monday. She said prosecutors didn't prove Horne illegally coordinated campaign spending with an aide running an independent group during his 2010 election bid. Yavapai County prosecutors say they produced enough evidence during a February civil hearing to show Horne and aide Kathleen Winn broke campaign-finance law by working together on outside ads targeting Horne's Democratic opponent. They wanted Horne to repay $400,000 to donors and up to three times that amount in civil fines. Horne and Winn's lawyers argued there's no evidence they broke the law. They also say an FBI agent committed perjury at the hearing but Eigenheer rejected that contention.
