The combination of fluticasone furoate (FF), a novel inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), and vilanterol (VI), a long-acting β2 agonist, is under development as a once-daily treatment of asthma and COPD. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of FF/VI with fluticasone propionate (FP)/salmeterol (SAL) in patients with persistent asthma uncontrolled on a medium dose of ICS.
In a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group study, 806 patients received FF/VI (100/25 μg, n = 403) once daily in the evening delivered through ELLIPTA (GlaxoSmithKline) dry powder inhaler, or FP/SAL (250/50 μg, n = 403) bid through DISKUS/ACCUHALER (GlaxoSmithKline). The primary efficacy measure was 0- to 24-h serial weighted mean (wm) FEV1 after 24 weeks of treatment.
Improvements from baseline in 0- to 24-h wmFEV1 were observed with both FF/VI (341 mL) and FP/SAL (377 mL); the adjusted mean treatment difference was not statistically significant (−37 mL; 95% CI, −88 to 15, P = 0.162). There were no differences between 0- to 4-h serial wmFEV1, trough FEV1, and asthma control and quality-of-life questionnaire scores. There was no difference in reported exacerbations between treatments. Both treatments were well tolerated, with no clinically relevant effect on urinary cortisol excretion or vital signs and no treatment-related serious adverse events.
The efficacy of once-daily FF/VI was similar to bid FP/SAL in improving lung function in patients with persistent asthma. No safety issues were identified.

ClinicalTrials.gov; No.: NCT01147848; URL: www.clinicaltrials.gov
For patients with asthma who remain uncontrolled despite inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy, a long-acting inhaled β2-agonist (LABA) may be added.1,2 Combination therapy improves symptoms, reduces severe exacerbation rate and achieves better asthma control in more patients than ICS monotherapy.1,3‐5 However, poor adherence to bid therapy may account for poor asthma control in some patients. For these patients, once-daily therapy could offer them greater convenience, thereby improving adherence.6
Vilanterol (VI) (GW642444M) is a LABA with inherent 24-h activity in development as a once-daily treatment in combination with the novel ICS fluticasone furoate (FF) for asthma and COPD. Three dose-ranging FF studies in patients with persistent asthma showed significant improvements from baseline in lung function relative to placebo, with the 100 and 200 μg doses of FF (over 8 weeks) providing optimal efficacy with an acceptable tolerability profile.7‐9 A VI dose-ranging study with concurrent ICS, also in persistent asthma, showed that the 25-μg dose of VI administered once daily over 4 weeks provided the most beneficial therapeutic ratio.10
The main aim of the current study was to compare the efficacy of FF/VI 100/25 μg administered once daily in the evening with fluticasone propionate (FP)/salmeterol (SAL) 250/50 μg administered bid over a 24-week treatment period in patients aged ≥ 12 years with persistent asthma uncontrolled on medium-dose of ICS. The dose of FP/SAL selected was considered suitable for the patient population to be studied.
Patients aged ≥ 12 years with asthma1 were eligible if they could demonstrate a ≥ 12% and ≥ 200-mL reversibility of FEV1 following albuterol inhalation at screening and had a best evening FEV1 of 40% to 85% of the predicted normal value at screening and at randomization.11 Before screening, patients had been taking ICS for ≥ 12 weeks, with a stable medium dose of ICS (FP 250 μg bid or equivalent) for ≥ 4 weeks. Key exclusion criteria are outlined in e-Appendix 1. The study was approved by the local ethics review committees (e-Table 1) and was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice guidelines. All patients gave written informed consent.
This phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group study was conducted between June 16, 2010, and July 27, 2011. After screening, eligible patients entered a 4-week run-in period during which they replaced their current asthma medication with FP 250 μg bid, and their short-acting bronchodilator with albuterol delivered through a metered-dose inhaler. After the run-in period, patients received (1:1) either FF/VI 100/25 μg (emitted dose, 92/22 μg) once daily in the evening, administered through an ELLIPTA dry powder inhaler (GlaxoSmithKline), or FP/SAL 250/50 μg bid (morning and evening) through DISKUS/ACCUHALER (GlaxoSmithKline) for 24 weeks. The central randomization schedule was generated by the sponsor with a validated computerized system (RandAll; GlaxoSmithKline). Patients were randomized by the Registration and Medication Ordering System. Neither the patients nor the investigator knew which study medication the patient was receiving. A summary of permitted and prohibited medications is provided in e-Appendix 2. Compliance with study medication was measured by reviewing the dose counter on the dry powder inhaler and DISKUS/ACCUHALER.
The primary end point was change from baseline in 0- to 24-h serial weighted mean (wm) FEV1 after 24 weeks of treatment. Secondary end points were individual serial FEV1 assessments at week 24 (FEV1 at each time point on day 168), time to onset of bronchodilator effect (the time point when FEV1 first exceeded the 12% and 200-mL increase over baseline [taken from serial measurements]) at randomization visit only, 0- to 4-h serial wmFEV1 postdose at the randomization visit and at week 24, percentage of patients experiencing a ≥ 12% and ≥ 200-mL increase from baseline in FEV1 at 12 and 24 h at week 24, and change from baseline in clinic visit trough (prebronchodilator and predose) FEV1 at week 24.
Other efficacy end points were scores on the Asthma Quality of Life + 12 Questionnaire (AQLQ+12), the Asthma Control Test, and the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) test, and unscheduled health-care resource utilization. Patients were asked to complete questionnaires at baseline and end of treatment. A post hoc analysis of the individual AQLQ+12 domains and minimally important difference (≥ 0.5-point improvement in AQLQ+12 score) was also performed. Results from this analysis are shown in e-Appendix 3.
Adverse events (AEs) could be reported throughout the study. Other safety assessments were 24-h urinary cortisol (UC) excretion at baseline and at the end of the 24-week treatment period (subset of patients); vital signs (diastolic and systolic BP, pulse rate); incidence of severe asthma exacerbations; liver safety; and ECG, clinical chemistry, and hematology screening assessments.
Patients were withdrawn from the study because of lack of efficacy if they experienced a severe exacerbation or worsening of asthma or at the investigator's discretion. A severe exacerbation was defined as deterioration of asthma requiring treatment with systemic or oral corticosteroids for ≥ 3 days or an inpatient hospitalization or ED visit that required systemic corticosteroids. Worsening asthma was defined as a requirement for any treatment other than study medication or use of rescue albuterol. Severe asthma exacerbations were not recorded as an AE unless they met the definition of a serious adverse event (SAE).
Sample size calculations were based on the primary end point of 0- to 24-h serial wmFEV1 at the end of the 24-week treatment period for the treatment comparison of FF/VI 100/25 μg once daily vs FP/SAL 250/50 μg bid. It was estimated that approximately 348 patients with evaluable data per treatment group would provide 90% power to detect a difference of 80 mL between FF/VI 100/25 μg and FP/SAL 250/50 μg; this assumed an SD of 325 mL. Details about the analysis populations and power calculation are provided in e-Appendix 4.
The primary analysis was performed on the intention-to-treat population with an analysis of covariance model allowing for the effects of baseline FEV1, region, sex, age, and treatment group. A two-sided 5% risk (significance level) associated with incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis was considered acceptable for this study. For the secondary and other efficacy end points, if the statistical test for the primary end point failed to reject the null hypothesis of no treatment difference at the 0.05 significance level, the tests for the secondary and other efficacy end points were to be interpreted as descriptive only.
As a consequence of site audits conducted by the study sponsor GlaxoSmithKline, concerns about the quality of data supplied were identified for two study centers. These centers contributed 57 patients (7% of enrolled patients) to the study. Because of these concerns, analysis of the primary end point was repeated, excluding the data from these two centers. Results were consistent with the primary analysis. The authors and study sponsor are satisfied that the exclusion of data derived from these centers did not materially change the findings of the study; therefore, we present a complete data set from all the centers.
Patient disposition is shown in Figure 1. Most patients (89%) in both treatment groups completed the 24-week treatment period (Fig 1). Patient demographics and baseline lung function are shown in Table 1.

Measured at screening.
Patients needed to have been maintained on a medium dose of ICS (eg, FP 250 μg bid) for ≥ 4 wk before screening.
Improvements from baseline in 0- to 24-h serial wmFEV1 were seen with both FF/VI (341 mL) and FP/SAL (377 mL); however, the adjusted mean treatment difference was not statistically significant (−37 mL; 95% CI, −88 to 15 mL; P = .162) (Fig 2). There were no differences in key secondary end points, including the change from baseline in individual serial FEV1 assessments over time at week 24. These showed sustained 24-h duration of action for both once-daily FF/VI and bid FP/SAL at all time points (Fig 3). The adjusted mean treatment differences between FF/VI and FP/SAL ranged from 2 to 58 mL. No important differences were seen between FF/VI vs FP/SAL for the secondary end points of time to onset of bronchodilator effect, 0- to 4-h serial wmFEV1 postdose at randomization and at week 24, percentage of patients obtaining a ≥ 12% and ≥ 200-mL increase from baseline in FEV1 at 12 and 24 h at week 24, and change from baseline in clinic visit trough (prebronchodilator and predose) FEV1 at week 24 (Table 2). Change from baseline in predose FEV1 over the 24-week treatment period is shown in e-Figure 1.
Data are presented as least squares mean ± SE change from baseline unless otherwise indicated. Intention-to-treat population, n = 403 (FF/VI 100/25 μg OD pm) and n = 403 (FP/SAL 250 μg bid). HR = hazard ratio; wm = weighted mean. See Table 1 legend for expansion of other abbreviations.
Results are for all secondary end points other than the end point individual serial FEV1 assessments at week 24 (see Fig 3).
Improvements from baseline in the AQLQ+12, Asthma Control Test, and EQ-5D asthma health outcomes assessments were observed for both FF/VI and FP/SAL. There was no difference between treatments (Table 3).
Intention-to-treat population, n = 403 (FF/VI 100/25 μg OD pm) and n = 403 (FP/SAL 250 μg bid). ACT = Asthma Control Test; AQLQ+12 = Asthma Quality of Life + 12 Questionnaire; EQ-5D = European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions; N/A = not applicable; VAS = visual analog scale. See Table 1 legend for expansion of other abbreviations.
AQLQ+12, ACT, and EQ-5D VAS score, analysis of covariance was used, with covariates of baseline score, country, sex, age, and treatment; EQ-5D, logistic regression analysis was used, with covariates of baseline, region, sex, age, and treatment.
The overall incidence of AEs and SAEs reported while on treatment are presented in Table 4. The most frequently occurring AEs reported by both groups were nasopharyngitis and headache; treatment-related AEs were similar between groups (Table 4). Nine patients reported on-treatment SAEs (four receiving FF/VI and five receiving FP/SAL) (Table 4). SAEs were single events with the exception of asthma exacerbation and pneumonia (one pretreatment and one on treatment [FP/SAL]). None of the SAEs was considered treatment related. No deaths were reported during the study.
Data are presented as No. (%). AE = adverse event; SAE = serious adverse event; URTI = upper respiratory tract infection. See Table 1 legend for expansion of other abbreviations.
There was no statistically significant difference between FF/VI and FP/SAL in 24-h UC excretion at week 24 (adjusted treatment ratio, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.72-1.02; P = .075) (Fig 4). However, 24-h UC excretion did increase in both groups from baseline to week 24 (ratio to baseline, 1.11 and 1.21 for FF/VI and FP/SAL, respectively).
The incidence of asthma exacerbations was low, and there was no difference between groups (3% vs 2% on FP/SAL vs FF/VI, respectively [on-treatment events]). Eight (2%) patients in the FF/VI group and seven (2%) in the FP/SAL group withdrew because of their exacerbation. One patient in the FF/VI group and two in the FP/SAL group were hospitalized because of their exacerbations. None of the exacerbations were considered treatment related. No clinically relevant treatment effects on vital signs (e-Appendix 5) or liver function parameters were found, with the exception of one patient in the FP/SAL group who met liver stopping criteria of alanine aminotransferase levels more than eight times the upper limit of normal, which was reported as an AE but was not considered treatment related.
In this study of patients aged ≥ 12 years with persistent asthma uncontrolled on a medium dose of ICS, FF/VI 100/25 μg once daily in the evening was not significantly different from FP/SAL 250/50 μg bid for the primary end point of 0- to 24-h serial wmFEV1 at week 24 or for any of the secondary end points. The AE profiles for both treatments were similar, and those AEs reported with FP/SAL were consistent with those previously reported with this drug combination.12,13
Patients were symptomatic on a medium dose of ICS at baseline. According to current asthma guidelines, these patients would require a step up in their asthma treatment from step 3 to 4.2 Lack of asthma control in the patient population at baseline was evident by an FEV1 of approximately 68% of the predicted normal value for both groups and by the fact that ≥ 50% of patients had an Asthma Control Test score of < 20. The goal of asthma treatment is to control asthma symptoms.2 A number of studies have shown that nonadherence to asthma therapy is an important reason for loss of asthma control in some patients.14‐16 Adherence to the treatment schedule was high during the study (> 94% in both groups), although the artificial setting of a clinical trial may have encouraged normally nonadherers to take their medication. If poor adherence to the dosing schedule is an important factor in loss of asthma control, then once-daily dosing (as opposed to bid dosing) such as that provided by FF/VI may represent a more-convenient treatment option for patients in a real-world setting.17
No differences in Asthma Control Test scores or in measures of quality of life (AQLQ+12 and EQ-5D) were shown in the present study. A difference of 1.4 was observed between groups on the EQ-5D test, but this difference was not statistically significant. The outcomes of the post hoc analysis (e-Appendix 3) suggest that FF/VI may provide clinically relevant improvements in certain patient-reported quality-of-life measures (environmental domain of the AQLQ+12 in the present study), as well as in the percentage of patients who improved by at least the minimally important difference of 0.5,18 that were not reported with FP/SAL. However, this statement is speculative and requires further evaluation in real-world studies outside the environment of a clinical trial.
FF/VI and FP/SAL were well tolerated, and FF/VI had a similar AE profile to FP/SAL. The AE profile with FF/VI reported in the present study is consistent with that seen in the two FF dose-ranging studies that included the 100 μg once-daily dose7,8 and the two studies of VI 25 μg plus concurrent ICS.10,19 Most of the SAEs reported in the present study were single events, and none were considered treatment related. Asthma exacerbations requiring hospitalization occurred in one patient receiving FF/VI and two patients receiving FP/SAL.
A potential effect of ICS treatment is reduction in UC levels as a result of suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, although this usually only occurs at higher doses of ICS.9,20,21 In earlier phase dose-ranging studies, once-daily FF 100 or 200 μg did not significantly inhibit 24-h UC levels relative to placebo.7,8 In the current study, clinically insignificant increases in UC levels from baseline were reported, and no statistically significant differences were observed between the groups at week 24. LABAs have occasional side effects, such as headache, tremor, and hypertension.22 In the present study, no clinically relevant effects of FF/VI or FP/SAL were found in measures of BP or pulse rate.
It may be considered a limitation that the study duration was too short to reliably collect information on important end points such as exacerbations. Also, while a once-daily dosing schedule could provide greater convenience to the patient and may therefore increase compliance to treatment,23 the double-blind, double-dummy nature of the study, together with the very high compliance levels during the study, means that the full benefit of once-daily dosing compared with bid dosing could not be realized in this study. This can only be investigated in a real-world effectiveness study, such as the Salford Lung Study, which is now under way.24 It is possible that prestudy ICS adherence was lower than anticipated by the protocol, as suggested by the high degree of FEV1 reversibility seen at screening. Patient compliance with run-in medication was not formally assessed. Once-daily FF/VI had similar treatment effects to bid FP/SAL in improving lung function and health status in this double-blind randomized study. It remains to be seen whether it will be superior in a real-world setting. In conclusion, there was no difference in efficacy or safety between FF/VI 100/25 μg administered once daily in the evening and FP/SAL 250/50 μg administered bid.

Love the coffee, I do. But if I have a cup after dinner, its got to be decaf or I'll be up all night.
Caffeine does't seem to effect me, and coffee is a bitter devils brew... Hot Cocoa all the way baby!
I put way too much thought into woot! polls.
Mt Dew in the morn. I can't stand coffee.

Only at night. Our super automatic espresso machine makes a mean decaf cappuccino.
Any port in a storm! Decaf coffee is better than no coffee.
Regular or unleaded, it's all gross. I'll have another Coke! (and not a diet or zero)
Great for those late night cravings.
The smell of coffee is great, but I don't drink it so I couldn't care less.
I'm breastfeeding and if I have caffeine my son will be cranky and up all night, so if I have coffee it had better be decaf. I drink tea most of the time, also decaf or herbal.
put me in with the rest of the tea drinkers.
the missus prefers caffeinated over decaf.
Coffee ranks somewhere between cigarette smoke and excrement on the stink scale and doesn't taste any better.
About as useful as a poopy flavored lollypop.
Don't drink coffee
Ah yes - hot tea. What could be better than bitter yard rakings steeped in hot water?
I'm a java junkie for life - and don't hand me that decapitated stuff.
I drink both. In the evening I drink decaf because I have sleep apnea.
Depends on the brand. Don't need any formaldehyde in my system, and some of the decaf tastes like burning.

Coffee is the devil's brew, decaf or not.
Decaf Coffee is about as useful as alcohol free beer (footnote to frostbyte). I'm a tea drinker anyhow - but give me the DARK and strong stuff (real tea) - no flowers or herbs, thank you.
Decaf coffee makes just about as much sense as diet Mountain Dew.

You coffee haters just haven't had anyone make you a PROPER cup of coffee! ;-)
Quadruple-espresso every morning for me, but if you want decaf, meh, your choice, and MORE COFFEE left for me! :-D
Caffeine seems to have no effect on me, and coffee tastes horrible unless it is coffee flavored sugar/cream/milk water. I get an occasional White Chocolate Mocha at Starbucks, but only for the taste. If it was decaf, I couldn't tell the difference.
If you want decaf, that's fine, but can I have that extra caffeine?
Posted from a Starbucks.
1/2 caff at the office. I can drink it all day.
Note: If you're using a Mr. Coffee and you want to complain about the taste of decaf, don't point at the beans.
Can't stand the smell or taste of coffee. I prefer diet soda or iced tea.
I don't do coffee, and I only do herbal cafeene free tea sparingly, and from the smell of the stuff at work, I'm supprised anyone can drink coffee.

A stunning strike from Arjen Robben fired Bayern Munich into the quarter-finals of the Champions League at the expense of an unlucky Fiorentina at a wet and windy Stadio Artemio Franchi last night.
The Germans, leading 2-1 from the first leg, were second best for long periods of the game and had looked to be on their way out of the competition when Juan Vargas and Stevan Jovetic scored the game's opening two goals to put the hosts ahead in the tie for the first time.
In the 28th minute Vargas pounced on a weak clearance from the Bayern goalkeeper Hans-Jörg Butt and found the net with an expert finish under pressure from a tight angle.
Jovetic, who scored both La Viola's goals to beat Liverpool 2-0 in September, fired home after 54 minutes, following a superb backheel from Alberto Gilardino, to put Fiorentina 2-0 up on the night, 3-2 ahead on aggregate.
However, Jovetic's strike sparked a manic 11-minute period during which four goals were scored and Bayern took an unlikely grip on the game. Mark van Bommel levelled the tie with a low drive on the hour only for Jovetic to score his second four minutes later. Gilardino again fed his fellow striker, this time with a header, and the young Montenegrin outmuscled Daniel van Buyten and forced home from close range.
That sparked wild celebrations from the home bench, but just 72 second later Robben, who had been well marshalled until that point, broke free of his markers to unleash an unstoppable 30-yard strike to make the score 4-4 on aggregate, Bayern going through on away goals.

Some things were made to never be forgotten.
Good idea and effective advert for target market.
But something is missing.
If use the special day, for example "birthday or national day"
bodycopy accord with idea
İlan için yorum www.fikirbenim.blogspot.com
I think this is an idea that is almost there. Unfortunately you seemed to have veered off on a tangent. These look like mockups for a movie channel rather than a simple tool used to make quick reminders and notes.
The Angelina Jolie one is just adrift; it could be Marilyn Monroe for all I know. The Sherlock Holmes and the Freddy Krueger are better, but still, what is the point? Do you know anybody who uses Post-It notes to make a note of movies? Everybody uses them to jot simple reminders, not things that should 'never be forgotten'. The client's product is not used to make archives and doesn't end up in a scrapbook or as a family heirloom.
Revisit the idea of not forgetting, but make it represent the product and its use.
As an aside; I think every ad school does 3M Post-It notes as a project. My favourite execution was a guy in my class who came up with "The only sticky, yellow sheets you'll use everyday. Not counting your bed."
- Commenting in all caps with poor spelling and grammar is so done before -
- The only thing more rare than a good ad is a good guest comment -
Nice comments Dale. Rodrigo Daud and Nino Skeff just got doubly lucky.
Thank you for the feedbacks. I appreciate them and comes up with some clever points that people never questioned me about it.
Now i'll just put my opinion. It's not to be compared with movies, but with celebrities that made history and can be recognized just from its shadow. The campaign is not complete though, theres also Gene Simmons, Marylin Monroe. Well, its kinda everlasting. This where it links with post-it, they were made to never be forgotten as the Post-it.
Thank you guys

|Re: How to accept NULL when having double-quote as char-delimiter ?
|Thu, 23 Oct 2008 12:51:12 GMT
Hi James, One solution would be to write a table function which parses the CSV lines into rows. Your import statement would then look like this: insert into myTable select * from table( myTableFunction(...) ) s Note that under the hood, Derby's import procedure does exactly this, that is, Derby wraps a VTI around the external data and then does a "insert into ...select" from that VTI. So using a table function should perform as well as native import does. If you are interested in this approach, you may want to read the table function white paper located here: http://developers.sun.com/javadb/reference/whitepapers/index.jsp The white paper comes with a zip file of sample code. You should be able to do what you need by extending FlatFileTableFunction. Hope this helps, -Rick James Yu wrote: > Hi all, > > I have some data in CSV was exported from Oracle. > The char-delimiter in the CSV files are double-quote (\"), so NULL is > represented by two consecutive double-quote (\"\"), let\'s call it > 2-double-quote. > > When I import with SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_IMPORT_DATA, Derby errors out when > the column in any NUMBER type. > Although 2-double-quote does incurs errors for VARCHAR type, but it > doesn\'t give the right meaning. > The only way to fix it is remove the 2-double-quote, but this can take > some time when the files are large in size. > > Here is my question: > What should I do to let Derby know that 2-double-quote is NULL and > doesn\'t error out ? > -- > This is a UTF-8 formatted mail > ----------------------------------------------- > James C.-C.Yu >

I want to move the shopping cart app to the end.
Can you remind me please how I do that? Thanks!
Also, is there a mod to allow you to place them in a specific order, ex, 1,2,3, and so forth....?
If that tab has been added by an add-on then you will need to ask in the add-on thread as it depends how it has been added as to whether it can be moved or not.
How is a regular navbar tab moved?
By editing the navigation template.

Another crowd disliker here. If I walk into a mall (which I haven't been in over a year) or a store that is crowded, I turn around and walk back out.
During the holidays, I don't go anywhere. People will cram themselves elbow to elbow just to get the blue light special and have no clue what is going on around them.
That's what I like about super stores (not just wally world) where you can go shopping at 4:30 in the morning so you don't have people breathing down your neck.
Restuarants are kinda hard because most of the booths that allow you to have back to the wall and to see the door put my right hand side to the main floor area so I can't have it close to wall unless I switch it to the left hand side.

Revision as of 18:55, 17 September 2008
County and City Records of Births and Deaths
Statewide registration of births and deaths began in 1863, but registration was not compulsory. Missouri has required registration in each county only during the years 1883 to 1893 and since 1909. The state did not achieve 90 percent registration of births until 1927 and of deaths until 1911.
Write to the appropriate county clerk for records before 1910. Those from 1883 to 1893 are also available from the Missouri State Archives.
The Family History Library has copies of most of the existing civil vital records in Missouri from about 1883 to the early 1900s. For example, records of Jefferson County births, stillbirths, and deaths from 1883 to 1892 are available.
For St. Louis city records from 1870 to the present, write to:

St. Louis County, MO Birth Certificates, 1883-1910
St. Louis County, MO Death Certificates, 1883-1910
State Records of Births and Deaths
The Missouri State Archives offer an online searchable Missouri Birth & Death Records Database, Pre-1910, which is an abstract of births, stillbirths and death records from microfilm in the state archives. For the entries that exist, there is a wealth of genealogical information present.
Missouri Death Records are now online for the years 1910-1957.
Although the files are not open for public inspection, you can obtain copies of the state's births and deaths registered after 1 January 1910 by writing to:
Bureau of Vital Records
P.O. Box 570
Jefferson City, MO 65102-0570
Telephone: 314-761-6387 (births)
Telephone: 314-751-6376 (deaths)
Internet: http://www.dhss.mo.gov/BirthAndDeathRecords/index.html
The current fees for obtaining copies of the state's records are listed in Where to Write for Vital Records: Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Divorces(Hyattsville, Maryland.: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, March 1993. (Family History Library book 973 V24wv.) Copies of this booklet are at the Family History Library and many Family History Centers.
Marriage Records
Marriage records have been kept by Missouri county clerks from the earliest days of each county. Some records date from the early 1800s when the area was a territory without counties. Statewide registration of marriage began in 1881, and the files are mostly complete after that date. You can obtain copies of these documents from the various county clerks.
The Family History Library has copies of marriage records from each county. These often date to the 1920s. For St. Louis, for example, the library has 147 microfilms from the city recorder (index for 1806-1965, records from 1808-1920, licenses from 1881-1966), and 14 films from the county recorder (index for 1877-1928, licenses from 1881-1933). The Missouri State Archives has copies of the same films available at the Family History Library.
St. Louis Public Library owns the following microfilm record sets:
St. Louis, MO Marriage Records, 1808-1882
St. Louis, MO Marriage Index, Males, 1806-1965
St. Louis, MO Marriage Index, Females, 1806-1963
St. Louis County, MO Marriages, 1881-1954
St. Louis County, MO Marriage Applications Index, 1882-1980
Most pre-1850 marriages in Missouri have been transcribed in publications such as the following:
- Brooks, Linda Barber. Missouri Marriages to 1850. Three Volumes. St. Louis,Missouri: Ingmire Pub., 1983-. (Family History Library book 977.8 V2bm.)
- Ormesher, Susan. Missouri Marriages Before 1840. Baltimore, Maryland: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1982. (Family History Library book 977.8 V2o; fiche 6051425.)
The Bureau of Vital Records (see address above) has an index to marriage records from July 1948 to the present.
Divorce Records
Divorce proceedings have been filed with a court of common pleas, a circuit court, or the state legislature. Most divorce records can be obtained by contacting the appropriate circuit court clerk in the county where the plaintiff resided. The Family History Library has some of these court records, which include divorce information. The Bureau of Vital Records has divorce records from 1948 to the present.
A published list of early divorce records is Lois Stanley, Divorces and Separations in Missouri, 1808-1853. Missouri: 198-. (Family History Library book 977.8 P2sd.) This volume includes notices from newspapers.
Inventory of Vital Records

On November 7, 2011, the federal bank regulatory agencies together with the Securities and Exchange Commission issued in the Federal Register proposed regulations implementing Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Section 619 contains prohibitions and restrictions affecting the ability of banks and other financial companies to engage in proprietary trading. These prohibitions and restrictions of the
Because most community banks have nothing to do with propriety trading, hedge funds or private equity funds, they generally can ignore the voluminous and controversial regulations implementing the Volcker Rule. However, the Volcker Rule regulations will require some action by all community banks. The proposed regulations require that by July 21, 2012, every bank, not just the "too big to fail" investment banks at which the Rule was aimed, have in place policies and procedures designed to prevent it from commencing such activities without first establishing a compliance program as required by the proposed regulations.
The Volcker Rule restricts proprietary trading by insured depository institutions and their holding companies. "Proprietary trading" is defined as engaging in the purchase or sale of one or more covered financial positions as principal for the trading account of a bank. A "covered financial position" includes any position in a security. Thus, any security investment made by a bank will be considered a covered financial position. These investments are restricted, however, only if the investment is made for a trading account of the bank.
A "trading account" is defined as "any account used for acquiring or taking positions in securities principally for the purpose of selling in the near term or otherwise with the intent to resell in order to profit from short-term price movements." If a bank's investment account does not meet the definition of a "trading account," investments in that account will not be restricted by the Volcker Rule.
While many community banks do have accounts that might fall within the definition of a trading account, these accounts typically invest only in government securities, and the proposed regulations exempt from the proprietary trading restrictions purchases and sales of
The proposed regulations require a bank that is engaged in proprietary trading to establish a compliance program for monitoring compliance with the Volcker Rule. The proposed regulations further require that a bank that is not engaged in any activities restricted by the Volcker Rule must still have in place policies and procedures that prevent the bank from becoming engaged in such activities and require the bank to develop a compliance program prior to engaging in such activities. A community bank that does not engage in any proprietary trading will still need to implement policies and procedures that will restrict the bank from commencing such activities without first developing a compliance program.
Public comments on the proposed regulations are due on or before January 13, 2012. While the requirements may change with the issuance of the final regulations, the Volcker Rule requirements become effective on July 21, 2012.

Until my mid-20's, I had no idea what a lentil was.
Growing up, my legume repertoire had been limited to kidney beans, Lima beans and butter beans.
When I ventured off to college, though, it opened up a whole new world of food. For one thing, I was a nutrition major, which meant that I spent the majority of my time studying food. I learned about various food cultures across the globe–many of which seemed exotic compared to my Midwest frame of reference. How did fish sauce become such a staple in so many cultures? And why do we eat so much corn and wheat in the U.S.? But even when I wasn't studying, I was hanging out with friends, which almost always included sharing a meal. This offered a great opportunity to try new things.
Since then, lentils have become one of my favorite ingredients. They cook relatively quickly compared to their other legume counterparts, offer a source of plant-based protein, and provide a wealth of other important nutrients like fiber, magnesium and iron.
The Red Lentil Thai Chili recipe from the cookbook Isa Does It: Amazingly Easy, Wildly Delicious Vegan Recipes for Every Day of the Week (Amazon Associate Link) is one of my favorites. It's amazingly simple (not to mention quite tasty). And while I don't consider myself a "vegan" per se, I do eat vegan meals quite frequently.
There are so many different foods for us to experiment with, and that's a good thing. Most people have at least a handful of foods they don't like. And while there are those who will say they don't necessarily dislike anything, they almost always still have preferences, and it's those preferences that make up our unique eating style.
If you happen to be a fellow lover-of-lentils, what's your favorite lentil recipe?

- 4 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 8 cups water
- 1 lemon, plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 3/4 pounds shelled and deveined large shrimp
- 1 1/2 pounds jumbo sea scallops, halved horizontally
- 1 cup bottled chile sauce
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
- 1 1/2 teaspoons hot pimentón de la Vera (smoked paprika)
- 24 stone crab claws, cracked and chilled (see Note)
In a large pot, combine the garlic cloves with the coriander and fennel seeds, crushed red pepper, salt and water. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the lemon and add to the pot. Halve the lemon, squeeze it into the pot and add the halves. Bring the liquid to a boil and then simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Add the shrimp and scallops and simmer just until white throughout, about 5 minutes. Drain the shrimp and scallops well and transfer them to a large plate. Leave the aromatics on the seafood. Cover and refrigerate the seafood until chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
In a small bowl, whisk the chile sauce with the prepared horseradish, smoked paprika and the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Spoon the smoky cocktail sauce into a small serving bowl.
Pick any aromatics off the shrimp and scallops and arrange the seafood on the platter or in individual glasses with the crab claws. Serve with the cocktail sauce.

The course will be graded on a Credit/No Credit basis. Students who receive credit will be eligible to graduate after completion of the course.
Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement
(applicable to students who began prior to the fall of 2015)
As a condition of obtaining a J.D. degree, each student must complete a substantial upper-division writing project (or series of projects) under the direct supervision of a single faculty member or lecturer following the first year of law school.
The Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement must be completed prior to the start of the student's final semester. It is the responsibility of each student to satisfy the requirement by this deadline.
General Goals and Objectives
The ability to write effectively and persuasively is fundamental to law practice. A lawyer's service to society and professional satisfaction depends on an ability to communicate through writing. The purpose of this requirement is (1) to integrate the student's legal knowledge by applying it to a complex problem with original analysis; (2) to deepen the student's writing skills through a systematic process of drafting and redrafting, with the benefit of expert feedback; and (3) to model mentoring relationships, in an applied context, that facilitate lifelong professional learning.
Requirement Satisfaction
Students must satisfy the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement by individual work only; joint papers or projects will not qualify. Students may discuss topics, ideas, or other aspects of the project with others, and may exchange drafts for the purpose of seeking feedback on improving the writing, but all research and writing must be the student's own work exclusively. This requirement can be satisfied in different ways. The writing experience may take either the form of an academic paper in the style of an article for an academic journal, or a series of professional writings that require the application of legal analysis to a problem a client might encounter. In all events, the following criteria must be met: (1) the writing must include original analysis contributed by the author; (2) a single faculty member or lecturer must directly supervise the project so as to review and critique the student's work; and (3) the student must review, reflect on, and incorporate this feedback into the final product (or products).
The following guidelines apply to the requirement:
- Students may not use a writing that satisfies another graduation requirement (such as a writing produced in a course used to satisfy the skills requirement) to also satisfy the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement. A paper completed in connection with a course that satisfies the Skills Requirement may satisfy the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement if the skills course involves substantial instruction in a professional skill (such as negotiation, interviewing, or oral advocacy). Faculty will certify that any writing produced in a course is not being used to satisfy an additional requirement such as the skills requirement for graduation.
- Written work done in connection with Legal Research and Writing (LAW 101) and Advocacy (LAW 105) courses may not be used to satisfy the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement.
- Taken together, the writing (or writings) should total approximately 7,500 words.
- Qualifying writings could include (but are not limited to) legal memoranda, briefs, litigation documents, or other forms of legal writing that demand the application of original legal analysis to legal problems.
- A paper that satisfies the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement may be used to satisfy the requirements of a specialized certificate (e.g., international law, high tech, or social justice).
- Papers written for other purposes may satisfy the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement, so long as they independently satisfy the requirements of the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement. This includes (1) a paper written in a seminar;(2) a law journal comment or note, where a faculty member subsequently reviews the writing, provides substantial feedback, and receives a final draft that incorporates that feedback; (3) an independent research project; (4) writing that is the product of directed research for no units of academic credit; and (5) litigation documents prepared under the supervision of a member of the faculty.
As guidance (1) for understanding this requirement's objectives, (2) for determining whether a proposed project should qualify, and (3) for assessing whether a completed writing has fulfilled the requirement, faculty and students should consult the SCU Law Competency Model (adopted by the faculty in fall 2013), and particularly those competencies described under the headings of Research, Writing, and Legal Analysis.
So long as the paper meets the criteria set forth in the next section, students may satisfy the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement in a variety of ways including:
- A paper required in a course or seminar in which the student is enrolled. Papers written for seminar credit must independently satisfy the criteria for the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement as set forth below.
- A law review comment or note written for one of the law school's law reviews. A faculty member must review the student's comment or note and determine whether it meets the criteria for the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement. A revision may be required.
- Individual research (Law 298).
- A directed research and writing project without credit.
- A brief written as part of a clinic or other experiential learning course as long as it satisfies the requirements set out below.
- Multiple writings as part of a course or an independent study which taken together satisfy the criteria set forth below.
Requirement Criteria
Regardless of the way in which students choose to satisfy the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement, the final product must meet the professional standards and expectations for the relevant audience. Close and critical faculty supervision and review of the writing is expected.
Students should submit a first draft, engage in faculty consultation, implement revisions, and submit a final draft. If the final product is not satisfactory, the faculty member may deny approval or may require that the paper be rewritten again before certifying that the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement has been met.
The student's final product should be of professional quality and demonstrate an ability to analyze complex legal issues and to communicate the analysis effectively. The faculty member will approve the writing if it demonstrates the following qualities as they apply to the specific type of writing:
- The choice of an original or challenging topic
- Succinct articulation and support of the thesis, if applicable
- Logical organization
- An appropriate level of research and analysis
- Comprehensive analysis of the relevant law and application to the topic
- Persuasiveness and analytical depth, as appropriate
- A proper introduction and conclusion
- Clear, concise, direct sentences
- Proper paragraphing and appropriate use of headings, subheadings, and transitions
- The correct use of legal terms and citation forms
- Appropriate attribution to original and secondary sources, as necessary
- Adherence to the prohibition against plagiarism
- Proper grammar, syntax, punctuation, spelling, and capitalization
- A neat and professional appearance
Although the required page length depends upon the nature of the project and the number of units sought, rarely will a piece of writing of fewer than 7500 words including footnotes be adequate to satisfy the requirement. If multiple writings are used, their total should be 7500 words including any footnotes.
Formal Procedures
Any member of the full-time faculty may supervise the writing and certify that it meets the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement. Legal Research and Writing professors, visiting full-time professors, teaching scholars or fellows, and lecturers teaching an upper-division writing course may also supervise a paper for the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement. Under certain limited circumstances, the associate dean for academic affairs may approve certification by part-time or adjunct faculty, such as where the student desires to write on an area of particular expertise of one of the law school's lecturers. Upon receiving a written petition from a student to allow for such supervision, setting forth reasons for which the paper should be supervised by a lecturer rather than a full faculty member, the associate dean will consult with the lecturer to explain that such supervision is not expected and to convey the time commitment and degree of rigor expected for the supervision.
A student's first choice of supervisor may not be available if the particular faculty member is already supervising, or has already supervised, a sufficient number of papers pursuant to the requirement.
When the student has chosen the way by which s/he intends to satisfy the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement, an "Initial Agreement" form must be completed with the supervising faculty member and filed with Student Services Office at the outset of the project, but no later than the end of the fourth week of the semester prior to graduation. This agreement should reflect the means by which the student intends to fulfill the requirement (by a seminar paper, independent research, etc.) and an estimated completion date. The agreement must be signed by both the student and the supervising faculty member. Upon final completion of the paper and approval by the supervising faculty member, the faculty member shall certify on the "Certification of Completion" form that the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement has been satisfied. The completed form and an electronic copy of the paper (as a Word document) must then be e-mailed email@example.com for inclusion in the student's file for graduation. The certification of completion and an electronic copy of the final, approved paper must be turned in to the Student Services Office prior to the start of the student's final semester. At Santa Clara University School of Law we reserve the right to use electronic means to detect and help prevent plagiarism. By submitting the Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement Agreement, students consent to have their paper submitted to Turnitin.com's restricted access database. This submission is solely for the purpose of detecting plagiarism. For details about this product please consult Turnitin's website at www.turnitin.com.
Professional Skills Requirement
(applicable to students who began prior to the fall of 2016)
In addition to legal analysis, research, and writing, a competent lawyer employs a variety of other professional skills, including interviewing and counseling, fact investigation, negotiation, drafting, and trial advocacy. The law school offers a variety of courses providing instruction in these other professional skills. Each student as a condition to graduation must successfully complete at least one such course. Courses satisfying this requirement will be so noted on the registration schedule of classes, posted on the Current Students website. In a qualifying course evaluated CR/NC, a student satisfies the Professional Skills Requirement with a CR. In a qualifying graded course, a student satisfies the requirement either with a grade of C or higher or with the faculty member's written certification submitted to Student Services that the student has satisfied the professional skills component of the course, and hence the Professional Skills Requirement, notwithstanding a grade of C- or below, or a grade of NP.
Experiential Course Requirement
(applicable to students who begin in fall of 2016 or thereafter)
As a condition to graduation, each student must successfully complete one or more experiential course(s) totaling at least six credit hours. An experiential course is a simulation course, a law clinic, or a field placement that focuses on professional skills needed for competent and ethical participation as a member of the legal profession.
- Experiential courses are determined by the law school and may include skills such as interviewing, counseling, negotiation, fact development and analysis, trial practice, document drafting, conflict resolution, organization and management of legal work, collaboration, cultural competency, and self-evaluation.
- The Associate Dean for Experiential Learning in collaboration with the professor will determine which courses satisfy the experiential course requirements and they will be designated as such in the course description.
- A student may not use a course to satisfy more than one requirement for graduation. For example, a course that includes a writing experience used to satisfy the supervised analytical writing requirement cannot be counted as one of the experiential courses required.
Regular Classroom Instruction Requirement
The law school's accrediting agency requires that students complete at least 64 credit hours in courses that require attendance in regularly scheduled classroom sessions or direct faculty instruction. The credit hours may include credit hours earned by attendance in regularly scheduled classroom sessions or direct faculty instruction and credit hours earned by participation in a simulation course or law clinic.
Course units awarded for all field placements, Juvenile Justice courses, the Panetta Fellowship program, independent research, coursework completed in another department and co-curricular activities such as journals, moot court, and trial competitions will not meet this requirement.
Degree Audit
The law school assumes no responsibility for a student's failure to complete the graduation requirements as outlined. Students should check their progress regularly by running a degree audit accessible via the eCampus system "Degree Progress" link. Direct questions regarding degree audits or graduation requirements to the Student Services Office at email@example.com or 408-554-4766.
For more information regarding the Juris Doctor program of study, contact the Student Services Office.
