Anti-tuberculosis vaccine could keep multiple sclerosis at bay
London, Dec 7 : A new research suggests that an anti-tuberculosis vaccine could prevent multiple sclerosis.
A small-scale study by researchers at the Sapienza University of Rome has raised hopes that the disease can be warded off when early symptoms appear, the BBC reported.
More research is needed before the BCG vaccine can be trialled on MS patients.
The MS Society said the chance to take a safe and effective preventative treatment after a first MS-like attack would be a huge step forward.
MS is a disease affecting nerves in the brain and spinal cord, causing problems with muscle movement, balance and vision.
Early signs include numbness, vision difficulties or problems with balance.
Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is a live vaccine made up of a weakened strain of Mycobacterium bovis, a bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB) in cattle.
The bacteria are altered so that they do not cause a TB infection, but stimulate the body's immune system to make it resistant to the disease.
The vaccine has existed for 80 years and is one of the most widely used of all current vaccines, reaching more than 80 percent of newborns and infants in countries where it is part of the national childhood immunisation programme.
About half of people with a first episode of symptoms go on to develop MS within two years, while 10 percent have no more problems.
In the study, Italian researchers gave 33 people who had early signs of MS an injection of BCG vaccine.
The other 40 individuals in the study were given a placebo.
After five years, 30 percent of those who received the placebo had not developed MS, compared with 58 percent of those vaccinated.
study leader Dr Giovanni Ristori said that these results are promising, but much more research needs to be done to learn more about the safety and long-term effects of this live vaccine.
The study is published in the journal Neurology.

Live Reviews
2010 Portland Jazz Festival
So how does a festival in the Pacific Northwest in one of the rainiest months of the year (February) pull off selling out seven of its eight major acts? The reason has more to do with the vision and creative wisdom of Bill Royston than it does any other factor. Is there a process template behind this type of success? I doubt it and tend to think it has more to do with Royston's ability to understand and perceive the make up of his audience along with his ability to share his enthusiasm with the local business community. I'm sure there is more to it than that but if I was starting a festival today or if I had one that was struggling, I wouldn't think twice about knocking on Royston's door.
This year's festival included a focus on the jazz of Norway, which in concept I appreciated but found myself wishing that Royston would have opened up the gates just a little bit more. Many of the musicians, as good as they were, brought similar approaches to their musicality. With an audience that is now clearly following Royston's lead, this creates an opportunity to open the parameters more while educating his audience on the outer fringes of artistic creativity; of which there are vast amounts within Norway and Europe. Again, this is more of a wish and I realize I am only one voice.
After saying that, I was completely knocked out by some of the performances. The Mingus Big Band
The solo of the night and the surprise of the festival, at least for me, came from trumpeter Alex Sipiagin
He also sat in with the Dave Holland Quintet while trombonist Robin Eubanks fulfilled prior commitments with the San Francisco Jazz Collective. I have been a big fan of this ensemble over the years but felt that perhaps over a period of time, it became a bit predictable. Holland, like his mentor Miles Davis , has the unique ability to not only assess new talent but also assess group chemistry along with the vision of the creative possibilities of the individuals and the group itself. It's just a small piece of this very brilliant and humble man.
Though I didn't feel as if Sipiagin reached the creative level of his solo in this set as he did with the Mingus set, he certainly had the chops to swing with Chris Potter
Since Nate Smith
Holland himself brings a joy to music and sound that can fill large rooms, which was the case here. What a beautiful soul this man must have. I have seen him perform more times than I can count but on this night, he provided a solo as soulfully enriching and poetic as any other I have been blessed to hear.

Notice the 2 8800 GTS in SLI outperform the 9800 GX2 in almost EVERY application.... !? |
As they should. 2 x 8800 GTS in SLI is basically the same configuration as a single GX2, but because the GPUs on the GTSes are clocked higher they come out in front in most tests. |
Wow, can that thing handle Crysis like no other machine. For the people with enough disposable income, it's definately the fastest solution. Though I'd go with a cheaper SLI or X-Fire setup over it. Quad GPUs... still blows my mind. |
Pretty impressive performance figures. I am also surprised at how well the Radeon HD 3870 X2 (x2) performed in relation to the pair of 9800GX2 in SLI. It would be nice to see these two configurations go head to head while being able to take full advantage of quad GPU scaling equally in every test. |
Yes AMD has been putting lots of work on their drivers, The HD 3870 X2 is starting to scale pretty good... |

Narwhal Abstracts Two abstracts are presented in order of completion. The first abstract was prepared for the 16th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals in San Diego, California. The second abstract was prepared for the International Polar Year in 2007-2008 and for the International Arctic Social Sciences Association and The VI International Congress of Arctic Social Sciences at Ilisimatusarfik, the University of Greenland, Nuuk, Greenland.
Hydrodynamic Sensor Capabilities and Structural Resilience of the Male Narwhal Tusk.Nweeia, Martin T.1,2; Eidelman, Naomi3; Eichmiller, Frederick C.3; Giuseppetti, Anthony A.3; Jung, Yeon-Gil4; Zhang, Yu5(1) Harvard University, School of Dental Medicine, 188 Longwood Avenue, Boston, MA 02115, USA(2) Smithsonian Institution, Marine Mammal Program, Department of Zoology, 100 Constitution Avenue, Washington, D.C. 20056, USA(3) ADAF Paffenbarger Research Center, National Institute of Standards and Technology, 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-8546, USA(4) Changwon National University, School of Nano & Advanced Materials Engineering, 9 Sarim-dong, Changwon, Kyungnam, 641-773, Korea(5) New York University, College of Dentistry, 345 East 24th Street, New York, NY 10010, USA
The unique configuration of dentinal tubules and hard tissue architecture within the narwhal tusk supports a new hypothesis for function. Two freshly harvested male tusks, examined under scanning electron microscopy, reveal dentinal tubules that are open and extend continuously from the pulp to the external environment. Approximately 1 tubule opening every 200 µm2, ranging from 0.1-4 µm are visible on the pulpal wall. Analogous surface lumena are visible within a 10-20 µm layer of diatoms and algae that cover the cementum surface. Brannstrom's hydrodynamic theory identifies pain sensitivity in mammals that have tubule communication of pathologic origin from the tooth or root surface to the pulp. With over 106 tubules in an eight-foot tusk, potential exists for the tusk to be used as a hydrodynamic sensor to detect fluid flow responsive to gradients of salinity, temperature and pressure. Chemical and mechanical properties of the tusk also indicate unusual functional adaptation. Cross-sections of one tusk near the tip (#1), ј length from the tip (#2), and near the base (#3), were dry polished and mapped by Fourier-transform infrared reflectance microspectroscopy (FTIR-RM) at 100x100 µm to 200x200 µm spatial resolution and by nanoindentation at 200x100 µm spatial resolution. FTIR-RM analysis showed higher mineral to collagen ratios (MCR) near the dentin-pulp interface and decreasing toward the cementum interface in #1 and #2, with non significant difference in #3. Mechanical indices of hardness and Young's Modulus were highest at the dentin-pulp interface and decreasing outward toward the cementum in all sections. All three properties declined from tip to base, with modulus demonstrating dramatic decline moving from pulp to the outer surface. The outer layers being less mineralized and more flexible than the inner layers in sections closer to the tip indicate unusual resilience and flexibility of the tusk and suggest important evolutionary functional adaptation.
Martin Nweeia, DMD Harvard University, School of Dental Medicine and Smithsonian Institution, Marine Mammal Program: Inuit and Western Descriptions of the Narwhal, Connecting Parallel Perceptions: Studies of the Narwhal Tooth Expeditions and Research Investigation.
Abstract: Scientists with myriad backgrounds and Inuit elders with traditional knowledge will combine results and insights to discover the purpose and function of the erupted tusk of the narwhal. This extraordinary tooth defies most of the principles and properties of teeth and remains a scientific enigma. Findings about its form and function will add to the evolutionary knowledge for this odd adaptation and will, because of unique findings of anatomy and histology recently discovered by this team, further define sensory capabilities of mammalian teeth. Scientific results have already begun to direct interest in future models of dental material design as the hard tissue of the narwhal tusk possesses a combination of unusual flexibility and strength characteristics that is highly desirable in restorative materials. These same tusk traits were observed by the Inuit before the laboratory testing was completed, and the results were reported. Likewise, traditional knowledge elucidates many aspects of narwhal anatomy, function, and behavior.
Description: Both the knowledge of Inuit elders and the findings of scientists are needed for a more complete understanding of the narwhal, Qilalugaq qumertaq. Often these worlds run parallel to each other. Scientists collect and analyze data without consulting Inuit elders. Similarly, elders do not choose among scientific results when deciding which information will be preserved within their oral traditions. Field work will continue in the recording of Inuit traditional knowledge about the narwhal, and is important for two reasons. First, some Inuit are astute observers of nature and their environment. Elders have the added advantage of observing the narwhal in various situations and conditions over a broader span of time. Second, they are able to comment on and help clarify scientific findings that are conflicting and mired in confusion. At the onset of the study, it became apparent that another value of these recordings was to preserve this knowledge. As younger Inuit become displaced from their hunting traditions and lifestyle, they are showing less interest in learning about them. The communities of Pond Inlet, Arctic Bay, Clyde River and Broughton Island have been identified as locations within Nunavut, Canada having strong associations with narwhal. Those in Greenland have also been identified as Qaanaaq, Disco Bay, Hunde Ejland, and Uummannaaq. A questionnaire of approximately 60 questions has been compiled and translated into one Inuktitut dialect and used for 8 interviews of elders in Pond Inlet and Arctic Bay. Interviews have been and will continue to be conducted with interpreters present and recorded using a 3 CCD video and digital or tape audio format. We are still seeking translators and interpreters for the remaining communities and contacts to facilitate the collection of information.
Scientific studies in anatomy, histology and cellular biology are currently being conducted by the principle investigator and collaborators to elucidate tusk function. Anatomical variations of narwhal will be described from previous field and laboratory dissection, computerized scans (CT, MRI and micro CT), analysis of museum specimens, and interviews with Inuit elders. Though we have visited and begun photometric analysis of narwhal skeletal collections at the Museum of Nature in Canada, Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, the Smithsonian Institution and the American Museum of Natural History, we are still seeking others that may have additional collections, particularly those with rare specimens. Anatomic plates of narwhal anatomy will be completed based on these findings. Recent scientific results have directed attention to ice formation and salinity gradients in the Arctic so we are seeking collaborative efforts with investigators collecting and mapping this information in Arctic waters.
Joint presentations with the principle investigator and Inuit elders will be encouraged and planned to express the value of scientific collaboration with Inuit elders. Our main objective in this social science component study is to move these parallel perceptions of Western scientific thinking and Inuit Elder traditional knowledge into a single line of understanding and appreciation for the narwhal and potentially other Arctic species.

Very cool!
Some of you may not know, but AI Sports Nutrition recently added multiple one ingredient products, including, DAA, LCLT, ALA, RKs, Ag, etc
Agmatine - 250mg x 120 caps
Alpha Lipoic Acid - 300mg x 180 caps
Caffeine - 200mg x 240 caps
D-Aspartic Acid - 300g of powder
L-Carnitine-L-Tartrate - 300g powder
Phenibut - 500mg x 120 caps
Raspberry Ketones - 500mg x 120 caps
I'm looking for some solid loggers. Here's the catch, I'll let you pick up to THREE products, but you will have to explain why you are including each product in the stack. If you choose, one product may be from the rest of the line. Again, you must intelligently explain WHY you've chosen each product.
Loggers must 18 years of age or older, be US or PR residents, and must be willing to update at least three times a week for 30 - 45 days, depending on what you choose. Anybody who chooses more than one product will be required to run a mirror log on at least one other site. Copying and pasting updates there will be fine.
Pictures of HOT CHIX will greatly increase the odds of winning a logging spot. Okay, maybe not, but they can't hurt anything. This opportunity will remain open until I have somebody logging at least one of each product listed above!

Awesome opportunity here!
"But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded."
Oh, you saw it on bb dot com? Well it must be true then!
Just for some clarification, when you say "one product may be from the rest of the line" does that mean the green or the entire Ai line up?
The entire line up (outside of the green label products).

I'd love to log the following:
Agmatine- I love the pump while working out and recently switched routines to a 4 day split that's full body and focused on compound movements so I'd love to try and get a nice full body pump also I've never had agmatine.
LCLT- have read all the benefits and it sounds like a solid addition to my staples. Also I have never had any experience with this product.
Raspberry ketones- also have no experience with this and anything that can help me drop a pound or two I'm definitely in for, also I just started Shift about a week ago and think this would be a solid edition
5'8" 190lbs
BF unknown (16-20%)
Max lifts:
Bench- 315x2
DL- 315x8
Squat- 315x8 (slight hernia, nervous to try more)
Always willing to learn :D
I'd love to log either agmatine or the raspberry ketones.
Why these two products? I've wanted to try agmatine since I first herd about it but right now its either buy sups or buy food.
I want to try the raspberry for its cutting benefits and try to get lean for summer.
This would be my first log and I would keep it detailed and updated.
Ill ask the gf for a few pictures if u want but, I know she wouldn't be ok with anything reviling. Lol
interested in phenibut...
i just started a epi cycle tho.. not sure how the 2 would mix
i usually get some sleep issues mid cycle and ive heard it can aide in that.. also i'm doing a public speaking class this quarter and anxiety is HIGH
Nate, I talked to this chick.. She said if you don't give out the goods she is taking out your knees.
(I'm kidding, I don't need any product. AI has been too awesome to me. I just wanted to post that picture..) Something about a chick with a sledge hammer.
HahahahOriginally Posted by D2footballjrc

Def jealous of this one, Agmatine, lclt and daa would be sweet
Yeah I'd be torn. I really want to try Phenibut and Raspberry Ketones. I use LCLT, DAA, and Agmatine in my AI log I have. SHAMELESS PLUG: AI's always on my mind. D2footballjrc (half sponsored log) w/blood work. <--- AI supplements have done wonders. I have some ALA but haven't used it yet. Honestly getting such good results with TestoPro, DAA, Agmatine, LCLT, and RecoverPro I'll keep that til I need another boost. Just remember your supplements will help you over the hump but you still have to bust your hump!
If you guys wanted to try any AI product this is an AWESOME log to get in on. They are super generous and will hook you up. I've never met a company that does so much for its customers.
(And no, I'm not a rep. Just a happy customer!)
phenibut...why, you ask??? because i am a insomniac, i have a script for klonipin...but if i use it more than 3 times a week it loses it's effectiveness. this means i have to pick 3 nights out of the week that i really need to sleep!!! phenibut is one of the few over the counter things that help me fall asleep...if i don't get to log it i will just buy some anyways-but everyone knows free is king, lol.....to anyone who has never tried phenibut, this stuff is the real deal-but don't get carried away with it, it can cause some nasty withdrawal symptoms if you abuse it!!!!
thanks....have you ever tried phenibut!!! fortunately i have good insurance, i've been thru the sleep clinicals where you sleep over-cost a fortune, even my copay was a ton, lol. to be prescribed something as strong as klonipin you have to be in really sad shape, lol. to me phenibut mimics the effects of benzo's and trust me i know what benzo's feel like....phenibut kicksa$$!!!
Wow, awesome opportunity! This sounds great.
Agree with D2, AI is really a standup company always looking to do right by their customers. Always use AI products.
Also want to add, (since I didn't realize this) DAA and LCLT have like 100+ servings in it. It's not just a 30 day supply. I bought a bunch of DAA and LCLT during the Black Friday sale and got them in and started realizing as I was using them that it's going to take a LONG time to get through a canister of each.

Fashion Delivers and K.I.D.S. Revamp Their Annual Joint Gala
(NEW YORK) Deviating from the expected fundraiser gala format, Fashion Delivers and Kids In Distressed Situations, Inc. decided to put a new spin on their annual bash. Sans a sit-down dinner, the two non-profits filled Pier 60 with over 800 guests. The massive crowd spent most of the evening toasting the evening's honorees and bantering with industry insiders. Why the sudden change? At last year's event at The Natural History Museum, a snowstorm prevented half of the guests from attending. Fashion Delivers' chairman Alan Ellinger explained: "Since we had advance notice and we knew that a lot of people weren't going to show up, we turned it into a cocktail party and donated all the meals to City Meals on Wheels and everyone loved the event." How did attendees react to this new format? With a resounding thumbs-up!
The cause for last night's gathering? Awarding leaders in the fashion and footwear industries for their generous aid to both Fashion Delivers and K.I.D.S. Vivica Fox, the evening's emcee, kept the crowd in high spirits as she called Brendan Hoffman, president and CEO of The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc, Robert Campbell, chairman and CEO of BBC International, Peter Comisar, vice chairman of Investment Banking at Guggenheim Partners and Daisy Fuentes to the stage to collect their trophies. At the end of the awards ceremony, which raised $1.4 million dollars, Fox was moved to tears through stories of the two organizations' kind deeds. K.I.D.S. has been providing essential clothing and toys to children in need around the world since 1985, and they joined forces with Fashion Delivers nearly five years ago. Fashion Delivers helps communities and families alike by distributing men's and women's clothing and furniture to those afflicted by poverty or natural disasters. The crowd, which included the likes of John Bartlett, Luis Fernandez, and Adrienne Bailon, followed the awards ceremony by hitting the dance floor, late into the night.

Slow Progress
Monte Rio, Summer 2013
Hello Folks,
Many of you know that I had planned to make the move this summer, but life intervened and I will have to wait another year or even a bit more to really make the shift. Still, everything has taken longer than expected and money is impossibly tight, so I am grateful that the school took me back. (Did I mention that I had already given my notice?) Ah, well….. As they say, wanna make God laugh? Make a plan.
We have been ...
Easter at the River

Easter Break 2013
We have been up her for 5 days now, and work, as always, progresses slower than we had hoped. Dave got all of the 12- foot ceiling sheet rock up… by himself. (His homemade drywall tool is a miracle. I am truly in awe!) We are now working on the walls in the living room & kitchen. Still, when it is done it will completely rock!
Now when I say "we" here, it is mostly Dave as every single wall ...

I am happy top say that I got an unexpected week up here on the river because OCHSA had a day off; I took another day off and - Voila'- instant vacation!

Notes from the River
Greetings From The River! July 2012
It was a lovely trip, great weather and lots of work and socializing to keep us busy. I love the whole process of getting to know my neighbors. Something I haven't done that much in So Cal. I'm not sure why that is…
We spent the first couple of days organizing, getting materials and driving around. One of the great discoveries was BUBBAQUES, in Petaluma. (1105 Bodega Ave.) We had a $35 ...

Working as hard as my first film: Chitrangada
Varinder Chawla
Mumbai: Actress Chitrangada Singh, who has been part of films like 'Hazaaron Khwaishen Aisi', 'Yeh Saali Zindagi' and 'Inkaar', says she works as hard in her films as she did in her debut project.
"The level of effort in any film doesn't change. We make the same level of effort for our first as well as 10th film. The way you make the effort changes... I am just working as hard as I did in my first film," said Chitrangada, who has been in the industry for eight years now.
Chitrangada made her Bollywood debut with 'Hazaaron Khwaishen Aisi' and was later seen in films like 'Sorry Bhai!', 'Yeh Saali Zindagi', 'Desi Boyz' and 'Inkaar'.
"I think there has to be something different in the script. Also, the director makes a lot of difference to me," said the actress, who is married to golfer Jyoti Singh Randhwa.
Asked how she manages time for her family between shooting and other activities, Chitrangada said: "I just somehow do it all."
After doing some offbeat films, Chitrangada entered the commercial films zone with 'Desi Boyz' and will now be seen in 'I Me Aur Main'. Directed by Kapil Sharma, the film also features John Abraham, who was her co-star in 'Desi Boyz' too.
Talking about her relationship with the actor, she said: "I knew John a little bit from 'Desi Boyz' initially. I know him a lot more now. He is a great guy and makes people feel comfortable around him."
On the professional front, Chitrangada says she will be part of two more commercial films this year.

I'm sorry. I have been remiss. It's been several weeks since I last checked in on Maisie Williams' Vine account, but fear not -- Arya Stark has somehow only gotten more adorable in the meantime. Is this love story about a pair of toothbrushes not the cutest little 6-second video you've ever seen?
Here's documentation that Maisie totally cleaned her room. See, Mom?!
And this one is something of a "Game of Thrones" Season 4 tease, in so far as we see that Maisie has cut her hair to Arya proportions.

"Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who died yesterday, will be for ever associated with the detective novel. He created Sherlock Holmes, and we all know Sherlock Holmes very well indeed. The fact that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was at one time a politician and latterly a spiritualist will count for nothing compared with his fame as a writer of detective fiction. For detective fiction has flourished exceedingly, and he is its father."
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's obituary from this day in 1930. (via)

4.5 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix RyanSimbo | 18/08/2010 | See all RyanSimbo's reviews (44) So far, I've only read the first five books of the Harry Potter series, I'd say that this is my 3rd favourite so far, Goblet of Fire being my favourite an Prisoner of Azkaban being my 2nd favourite so far. I read this in about 5 days basically because I found it very difficult to put down at times, although I admit that the book probably did drag at bits, but apart from this the book is brilliant! I can't wait to read the last two books and see what Rowling has left for me to read :D
4.5 Great book for readers HPcrazy | 10/07/2010 | See all HPcrazy's reviews (1) I love reading espcally the Harry potter series which i've read 3 times and this is by far the best but if your not a big reader then this book will drag on at some parts.
4.5 it was ok kathxxx | 30/07/2009 | See all kathxxx's reviews (1) i love the harry potter books and i brought this for my brother but just like the others i read it first and i feel as though it was dragged. there are bits where i couldnt put the book down but then there were others that absolutely bored me. although i do think that this book is great for anyone to get into reading
4.5 the worst out of an amazing series Westies123 | 28/05/2009 | See all Westies123's reviews (30) Dont get me wrong, i love harry potter books, but this one was much too long and dragged on like there was no tomorow. Its fantastic at parts but other parts are like. Right........ But its kind of essential to read this.
4.5 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix No1HarryPotterFan | 22/09/2008 | See all No1HarryPotterFan's reviews (43) I really enjoyed this book. I totally agree with previous reviews that say it's a lot darker than previous book's, which for me is definately an up-side. One of the best in the series, and totally un-missable. Buy it xD
4.5 The Order KatTheLegend | 22/08/2008 | See all KatTheLegend's reviews (17) The longest book in the series and some say the hardest to read. The first three quarters of the book is setting up for the end of the book or for the end of the series. However, the end of the book is extremely engaging and you will not want to put the book down until it's finished. It is a lot darker (again) than the previous books, Harry is growing up and is experiencing the world as a teenage boy - temper tantrums and girls! Fred & George are brilliant in this book!
4.5 Harry Potter and the Order Of the Phoenix Bongoe | 20/07/2008 | See all Bongoe's reviews (1) As usual, Harry Potter, a fifteen year-old boy learning in Hogwarts school of Withcraft and Wizardry is finding it hard, as Professor Umbridge is preventing him from sending letters to his godfather, Sirius Black.He tries to impress Cho, and is partners with her in Hogsmeade, but she keeps on talking about Cedric's death. As their O.W.L's are coming closer, it is a struggle, as Harry is not good at Potions or Divination or History Of Magic. He is learning Occlumency with Severus Snape, as Harry is having nightmares, but not normal nightmares. These are ones that shall make bad things happen.In the end, Harry ends up in deadly duels with Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Harry also has a tragic loss, and there is nothing he can do, but Harry isn't looking forward to going back to the Dursleys.This is an excellent novel, 10/10 from an award-winning author, J. K.

If You Bring Only One Thing To a Summer Potluck...This orzo salad was made to be thrown into a big bowl and brought to a picnic or barbecue for everyone to share. (Plus, six more fantastic, portable dishes.)
By Lynn Andriani
The Goes-with-Everything PastaChances are, if you're invited to a party this summer, the host is taking care of the hot dogs, hamburgers or grilled chicken, and has asked guests to bring a side dish. These seven recipes, from the new book Williams-Sonoma Salad of the Day by Georgeanne Brennan, are up for the task: You can make them ahead of time and transport them easily. Best of all, they all have a little something—whether it's an interesting ingredient or a smart prep technique—that sets them apart from your average buffet sides. Here's a perfect example: a colorful assembly of yellow and green baby squash that you can add any other summer vegetable to (cherry tomatoes are especially good).

Marketers should consider shifts in spending when configuring their marketing mix.
As internet radio content becomes increasingly targeted to individual musical tastes, marketers and advertisers can capitalize on that trend, said Tim Westergren, founder and CSO of Pandora Radio, during his March 27 morning keynote address at Re:Think, The Advertising Research Foundation's annual convention in New York City.
US advertising expenditures increased by 3.2% to $71.5 billion in the first half of 2011, with Internet media accounting for about half of that gain, according to market research firm Kantar Media. Internet display ad spending jumped 12.9% and paid search spending grew by 8.6%, according to the report.
ZenithOptimedia softened its global and US ad spending predictions for this year in forecasts released July 13. The media services company predicted that US advertisers will increase spending 2.1% to $165 billion this year, down from its April forecasted growth of 2.5%. The firm also predicted global ad spending will grow 4.1% to $471 billion in 2011, down 1% from its April predictions.
US Internet advertising revenue reached a record high of $6.4 billion in the third quarter, according to statistics from the Internet Advertising Bureau, a digital advertising industry group. Revenue was up 17% year-over-year in Q3.
Marketers are hoping that online advertising self-regulation initiatives announced last month will increase trust and transparency with consumers, and government.
Beam Global Spirits & Wine launched the "Beamfire Sweepstakes" on October 15 to interactively promote its Jim Beam Black Double Aged Bourbon. The company worked with interactive agency Zezza Network on the effort.
Yahoo acquired Dapper, maker of a display ad creation platform, on October 5. Financial terms were not disclosed.
PepsiCo has named the winners of its first PepsiCo10 incubator program, which is matching its brands with media, communications and technology entrepreneurs to create digital media and social marketing programs. Here's no surprise: many of the winning companies operate under the direct marketing umbrella.
The Campbell Soup Company is conducting the 'It's Amazing What Soup Can Do' campaign, using a sweepstakes to attract younger consumers. The overall effort includes mobile marketing, TV, print, online, radio and in-store media.
Brands are more likely to turn to direct marketing agencies for external social media planning and execution help than advertising, digital, PR and media planning and buying shops, according to a study conducted by PRWeek and public relations agency MS&L.
Forbes Media will market its just-released iPad application through e-mail, Forbes.com, its print magazine and social media beginning this week.
Century 21 Real Estate decided to fully renovate its marketing strategy as the housing crunch and the recession were bearing down on the US economy in 2008. First, it had to sell that idea to its own people.
Yahoo launched a new display ad unit today that will run on a user's login page. The ad unit is a full-page ad that runs as a background to the Yahoo login page.
US Internet advertising revenues hit $5.9 billion in the first quarter of 2010, a 7.5% year-over-year increase and an all-time high for the period, according to a report by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
US Reps. Rick Boucher (D-VA) and Cliff Stearns (R-FL) released on May 4 a discussion draft of legislation that would codify numerous industries' use of consumer data on the web.
Microblogging platform Twitter, which launched its Promoted Tweets advertising service earlier this month, announced its acquisition of Cloudhopper, a SMS infrastructure company, on April 23.
Yahoo has hired Blake Irving as the portal's chief product officer. He will join the company May 17.
AOL launched the beta version of the Advertising.com Ad Desk display platform on April 19. The Web services company developed the platform after soliciting feedback from brand and direct response advertising agencies and marketers in recent months.
As CEO of a fast-growing sales and marketing contact database, I scan TweetDeck and other social media platforms each morning to find what digital marketers are saying about us, our competition and the tagged threads about the industry. It has become impossible to imagine running a business without this level of access and transparency.
ZenithOptimedia upgraded its global advertising spending forecast for this year, 2011 and 2012, predicting total increases of 2.2%, 4.1% and 5.3%, respectively. The agency also predicted that Internet advertising will continue to take a greater portion of ad expenditures for the next three years.
Time Inc. acquired StyleFeeder, a shopping search engine, earlier this month in a move to diversify the publisher's revenue stream and take advantage of the growing apparel and accessories market. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Dating sites Date.com, Matchmaker.com and Amor.com have launched a pre-Valentine's Day campaign, partnering with Internet celebrity and philologist Marina Orlova to give registrants the chance to win a date with the Web celebrity.
As Yahoo awaits approval of a final search deal with Microsoft, it's planning to release two updates to its search marketing platform, which will roll out sometime between January 19 and January 26. The first update is a feature called Importing Campaigns that will let advertisers migrate search campaigns created in Google's platform for use on Yahoo's search platform without the need for a new ad.
Quantcast has raised $27.5 million in a third round of venture funding, led by Cisco Systems and Polaris Venture Partners.
The Federal Trade Commission, Visa and the Better Business Bureau are warning consumers about deceptively designed "negative option" Web marketing and e-mail offers.
Global advertising spending forecasts indicate that the industry can take a small breath of relief looking to 2010.
Advertising spending forecasts for next year represent the first glimmer of hope that the ad market will finally stabilize after an unprecedented downturn. Three leading industry prognosticators weighed in with predictions for next year: ZenithOptimedia said advertising spending will grow globally by 0.9% in 2010 to nearly $448 billion; GroupM predicted similar growth (0.8%) to $448 billion; and Magna Global had a more optimistic prediction of a 6% global advertising increase to $380 billion.

Lack of awareness of the symptoms and urgency needed to treat the biggest cause of sight loss in the UK is risking unnecessary blindness in thousands of people every year.
There are two main types of AMD, wet and dry. There is no current treatment for dry AMD but sight saving treatment is available for the wet type if diagnosed in time.
About 40,000 people develop wet AMD each year (3), however both the public and medical profession are failing to recognise the urgency needed to diagnose and treat the condition which can take your eye sight in as little as three months.
The recommended time it should take to be diagnosed is seven days, however the public not recognising the signs, and delays by some GPs, optometrists and other health professionals, are putting thousands of people's sight at risk every year.
Smoking is a risk factor, with smokers twice as likely to develop AMD than non-smokers. Studies show that stopping smoking can reduce your risk of developing AMD (7).
RNIB is urging people to be aware of the early signs of wet AMD. Anyone who is experiencing changes to their vision such as straight lines appearing wavy or curved should visit their optometrist immediately.
Clara Eaglen, Eye Health Campaigns Manager at RNIB, said: "Losing your central vision can have profound consequences with many people unable to carry out basic tasks such as driving, chopping vegetables, reading a newspaper or writing a shopping list. However, it doesn't have to be this way and people should not be losing their sight unnecessarily when there's treatment available.
"We're encouraging people over 50 and the medical profession to find out how to spot the signs of wet AMD and understand why it's important to act quickly. About 40,000 people develop wet AMD each year but the deterioration of your sight can be managed with treatment, if caught in time."
To find out more on how to Spot the signs of AMD and other eye diseases visit www.rnibspotthesigns.org.uk or call RNIB Helpline on 0303 123 9999.
For more information or interviews with case studies and RNIB spokespeople, including RNIB optometrists, contact Emma Mercer, RNIB Senior PR Officer, on 020 7391 2085 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
An embargoed copy of the report is available on request. Photographs illustrating how some UK landmarks would look to someone with AMD are also available, along with images depicting AMD.
(1+2) All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc. Total sample size was 2151 adults. Fieldwork was undertaken between 27 February and 1 March 2013. The survey was carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all UK adults (aged 18+).
(3) The estimated prevalence and incidence of late stage age related macular degeneration in the UK:
Christopher G Owen, Zakariya Jarrar, Richard Wormald, Derek G Cook, Astrid E Fletcher, Alicja R Rudnicka. Published in British Journal of Ophthalmology, on February 13, 2012.
(4) Spot the signs is part of the SOS campaign which aims to challenge unnecessary sight loss, encourage regular eye checks and promote the importance of timely access to vital treatment.
(5) Don't lose sight! Don't delay! Based on 62 patient interviews who were diagnosed with wet AMD post-Lucentis (NICE approved drug for use in wet AMD); Page 15
(6) Don't lose sight! Don't delay! Based on 62 patient interviews who were diagnosed with wet AMD post-Lucentis (NICE approved drug for use in wet AMD); Page 22 The Royal College of Ophthalmologists guidelines state that patients should be diagnosed within one week, and treated within a further week of diagnosis - a total of 14 days.
(7) Evans, Fletcher and Wormald (2005): 28,000 cases of AMD causing visual loss in people aged 75 years and above in the United Kingdom may be attributable to smoking. British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2005, 89, 550-553.
RNIB commissioned The Campaign Company to conduct the research. It aims to better understand the different perspectives of patients, carers, clinicians, commissioners and other professionals who work in a clinical environment, and from this develop a rounded picture of wet AMD care.
In-depth telephone interviews were conducted as part of the qualitative research. This involved 163 people across the UK and included patients, carers, commissioners, clinicians and others who work in the clinical environment.
We are the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB). We're here for everyone affected by sight loss - that's almost 2 million people in the UK. If you, or someone you know, has a sight problem RNIB can help. Call the RNIB Helpline on 0303 123 9999 or visit www.rnib.org.uk
Spot the signs is part of RNIB's Save our Sight (SOS) campaign which aims to challenge unnecessary sight loss, encourage regular eye checks and promote the importance of timely access to vital treatment.
Over 50 per cent of sight loss is avoidable, yet you or someone you love could lose your sight. Those of us lucky enough to live beyond the age of 90 will face a 1 in 2 chance of losing our sight. With a population growing in age and obesity, RNIB's SOS campaign is working to tackle the timebomb of avoidable sight loss in the UK.
There are two main types of AMD, wet and dry. Both conditions impact on the macula, a tiny area of the retina at the back of the eye. It is responsible for our central vision, fine detail and much of the colour vision.
In dry AMD there is a gradual deterioration of the macula as cells die off and are not regenerated. With wet AMD the onset is much more rapid as abnormal blood cells begin growing in the wrong place and cause swelling and bleeding underneath the macula, causing much quicker deterioration in vision.
Patients described their initial symptoms of wet AMD in a variety of ways. Descriptions included wavy lines, zig zag lines, letters in a crossword dancing about, a mauve area, cloudy vision, a glare or black spot.
10-15 per cent of people who develop dry AMD also develop the wet form and someone who develops wet AMD in one eye has a 40 per cent chance of developing wet AMD in their other eye within five years.
Age-related macular degeneration is the most common cause of blindness in the over 50s. There are more than 500,000 people with the condition in the UK. About 40,000 people develop wet AMD each year.
The exact causes of macular degeneration are not known but genetics, diet and sensitivity to sunlight are all believed to have an impact on the likelihood to develop the condition. Smoking is a clear risk factor, with smokers twice as likely to develop AMD than non-smokers.Cost and impact
The impact of sight impairment and loss has been estimated to be more than £22 billion per year.
In 2009 Access Economics projected that as a result of an ageing population by 2050 the number of people with AMD would rise to 890,000 (wet AMD was not projected specifically but based on current ratios of wet to dry AMD this would translate to over 71,000 new cases a year by 2050).
Estimated spending on AMD in 2010 was £1.6 billion, which due to the expected increase in the number of AMD patients is likely to increase significantly both in real terms and as a percentage of NHS spending.

The Hebrew word so rendered is from a root meaning "to travel about," "to migrate," and hence "a traveller." In the East, in ancient times, merchants travelled about with their merchandise from place to place (Genesis 37:25; Job 6:18), and carried on their trade mainly by bartering (Genesis 37:28; 39:1). After the Hebrews became settled in Palestine they began to engage in commercial pursuits, which gradually expanded (49:13; Deuteronomy 33:18; Judges 5:17), till in the time of Solomon they are found in the chief marts of the world (1 Kings 9:26; 10:11, 26, 28; 22:48; 2 Chronicles 1:16; 9:10, 21). After Solomon's time their trade with foreign nations began to decline. After the Exile it again expanded into wider foreign relations, because now the Jews were scattered in many lands.
Noah Webster's Dictionary
1. (n.) One who traffics on a large scale, especially with foreign countries; a trafficker; a trader.
2. (n.) A trading vessel; a merchantman.
3. (n.) One who keeps a store or shop for the sale of goods; a shopkeeper.
4. (a.) Of, pertaining to, or employed in, trade or merchandise; as, the merchant service.
5. (v. i.) To be a merchant; to trade.
