iPhone OS: Soon considered a computer OS?
With Thursday's announcement/town hall demo of iPhone OS 4, a few more gripes about Apple's growing OS and software platform were erased. Multitasking, organized app folders, and more robust e-mail joined the fold, adding to the usability of any iPhone, iPod Touch, or eventually iPad, and closing the gap just a little bit more.
What gap? Why, the gap between our conceptions of what a smartphone or tablet is versus a traditional computer.
Last year, universal search and held-back tools like cut and paste may have been available on other smartphones, but the iPhone benefitted greatly from … Read more

Would've rated it higher because in the pain-cessation category it works really well. However, I get stabbing digestive pains from it and nausea. I am trying a reduced dose and so far, not more than a twinge once in a while. Love the packaging.

This product works! And it works the same day--no need to wait weeks for the blood levels to increase. It is the best mood balancer out there. And now the vet has given it to my dogs to heal their liver problems.

I tried St. John's Wort for about five weeks to no avail. I've had no stomach upset or anxiety or any other negative side effects. What I can tell you this this stuff works fast to alleviate depression. Five days ago I was ready to call my doctor to ask for an rx. Today, I am impatiently awaiting my shipment of Source Naturals SAMe and disappointed that I have to pay retail in order to keep up my daily dosing. (Sorry Whole Foods--I love your store, but you are way overcharging for supplements.) I am also very much looking forward to getting my dose up to the 1600 mgs for depression. I envision feeling normal again! I trust the Source Naturals brand, and I love iherb for its value and good customer service. Fantastic stuff.

I have had a good experience from Source Naturals SAMe overall. I use for anxiety, and I can really tell when I miss a dose. I also read that after you've taken it for a while, it can build up in your system so that you don't have to take as high of a dose. (and they recommend taking vitamin b complex with; helps you to absorb and prevent homocysteine levels from getting too high) And I've noticed better results from the Source Naturals brand than whatever brand I picked up at my local WM when I first decided to try SAMe. The only problem I've had was in one package I guess there was a hole in a few of the blister packs (I didn't see any hole though) because about three or four of the pills were all melted looking when I opened their blister compartment. I've bought at least 4 or 5 packages and this only happened in one.

Ibérico salchichón sausages are simply seasoned with sea salt and black pepper and hung to cure in the cool mountain air for several weeks. Unlike Ibérico chorizo, salchichón sausages are not seasoned with smoked paprika, so the pure Ibérico pork flavor shines through in each delicious bite! Slice thinly and serve with a crisp white wine from Spain.
Our friends at Fermín follow recipes and methods passed down for generations. All of their Ibérico hams and sausages are cured in the mountain village of La Alberca where the cool, fresh air is a partner in the curing process.
Ibérico salchichón sausage is made from pork of the famed black-hoofed Ibérico pig, native to Spain. The pork is dark red and marbled with delicate Ibérico fat, creating a sausage full of intense flavor. This grade of pork is just one step below the acorn fed 'Ibérico de Bellota' quality.
Fermín was the first producer of Ibérico hams and sausages to be approved for export to the U.S. This family company is based in the beautiful town of La Alberca, high in the mountains near Salamanca. The cool, dry air and short summer season are ideal for curing hams and sausages in the age-old Spanish way.
'Longaniza' refers to the shape of the salchichón, which is long and straight. It requires no refrigeration or cooking, simply slice and serve and store in a cool, dry place.
Ibérico Pork, Salt, Seasoning (Dextrin, Dextrose), Seasoning (Salt, Sugar, Trisodium Citrate, Sodium Nitrite, Potasium Nitrate, Sodium Ascorbate), Nutmeg, Black Pepper, White Pepper. Beef Collagen Casing

Brian Chamberlin - Carson City, NV "Good example of dried sausage."
Liz - Urbana, IL "These sausages really do melt in your mouth! Unbelievably good--it's hard to stop eating them. There is quite a lot of fat, but it's worth it. They are not overly spicy, quite subtle in fact. "
Barry Neun - Hampstead, MD "Very rich and mild. The seasoning was very unique and subtle, really brought out the flavor of the pork."
Jerry S. - DeMotte, IN "This sausage is like eating candy for the first time. Absolutely the best sausage I ever had. I do take off the outer skin when I slice it. Great snack."
India Cox - Powhatan, Virginia "Gave this to my sister & family for Christmas, and they said it had no taste. "Extremely disappointing." "

I never quite know where I stand with him. Sometimes I really like him, and sometimes he gets on my nerves. If two people were to feel that way, does that make them frenemies? Pretenemies?

as we discussed on the show, does anyone think that the Guardians of the Galaxy movie is a good idea? Is anyone excited about it?
by Poptard_JD
Marvel opening up the cosmos to us is a good thing. Drax is a good thing.
Sept. 4, 2012, 6:06 p.m. CST
I've just started reading the annihilation story, starting with the Thanos series, and Just now starting the Drax mini that leads into it
by Poptard_JD
But I said that Steve Dillon's art in Avenging Spider-Man SUCKED! The guy seriously phoned it in. For a guy to go from Preacher (with Ass-Face and what not) to his latest stuff (including Ultimate Avengers or some stupid Millar series). I get that Steve Dillon needs to eat, but he's totally phoning it in.
Its a gamble, but I think the benefits far outweigh the possible financial consequences. If it doesn't work, I doubt people will all of a sudden stop caring about Marvel films considering the ridiculous success theyre enjoying with nearly every other movie. If it does work, they have another successful movie/franchise on their hands, one that grows public awareness beyond the household names, and gets people excited about anything with the Marvel name on it. This could get people really digging into long boxes and scanning the shelves at bookstores for things other than just the big names. It might even give independent or "3rd world" publishers a boost, because if they can make Groot or Rocket Raccoon cool beyond our little comic book community, then what can't be cool anymore?! Guardians could be come the Andy Warhol of Marvel movies this way - if a Brillo pad box can be art, what can't be? so maybe I should head to my local shop and browse beyond the Batman and Spider-Man titles for a change! On the other hand, I like being the only one in the room outside of a comic book store that knows who Star Lord is, and I'll miss that...I'm a selfish and jealous man : (
Looking forward to it. Kind of bummed that Bug won't be in it though.

Just finished reading Green Arrow 0, how has GA been so far?
by Poptard_JD
Has Roy shown up? Or Merlyn?
Have they announced the characters in the movie? My comment was deleted but Dillon only draws ugly people which worked in Hellblazer but he can't draw an attractive women for the life of him. Everyone looks Pervy and low life
...here's a complete recap of the story. Spoiler follows. Thanos - 'I love you Death. Be my mate.' Death - 'No. I'm too good for you.' Thanos quests to become a superior being through the Infinity Gems. Thanos - 'I love you Death. Be my mate.' Death - 'No. You're too good for me.' Tear of baffled sadness in beer. The end.
Sept. 4, 2012, 11:44 p.m. CST
I'm not sure which Guardians will be in the movie, but..
by Poptard_JD
It stands to reason that it'll be the ones currently in Bendis' Avenger's Assemble series, since that one seems to be the one most trying to tune in to the hoopla from the Avengers movie..
...there was a guy I had a huge crush on in high school, and he was a *crazy* fan of Silver Surfer. It was the only comic he would collect (he was also a guitar player who worshiped Joe Satriani - go Google him for fun comic book trivia). Anyway, the only comic he bought that *wasn't* Silver Surfer was The Infinity Gauntlet. Just seeing something else that actually managed to capture his interest made me curious, so I read it, and recall liking it a lot. Recently I've decided to try and find the trade to read again, and stumbled across The Thanos Quest, and Wiki'd it. Gonna give it a flip tomorrow. I can't recall where I saw the confirmation for the Guardians of the Galaxy cast, but Rocket & Co were confirmed.
FUCK BEFORE WATCHMEN by the way.
Google my name and the Guardians, I've written some stuff that should fill you in on who's gonna be in the movie. As for Thanos Quest, it's one of my favorites of all time, just for the way he outwits some of the most powerful beings in the universe. But yeah, someone should have told Thanos "She's just not that into you." Chris Giarusso did a funny riff on that in his Bullpen Bits/Mini Marvels strip.
Because I'm actually interested in what you guys thought about the end of Spaceman and the ongoing (like, REALLY ongoing) BPRD Hell On Earth books.
...Guardians looks as interesting to me as any other Superhero movie. As an indie, underground, alternative reader, where anthropomorphic taking EVERYTHING is much more common, it looks a little MORE interesting than the average Superhero movie. <p> In regards to what they've done so far, I actually really enjoyed Thor, Captain America and The Avengers (looking forward to all those sequels). Iron Man has been uneven for me, even though I dig RDJ. Just seems like an entire two hours of that character might not be my thing. Haven't loved any of the Hulks yet, but Ruffalo nailed that part, so I hope he gets his own movie. <p> Bringing that back around to Guardians of the Galaxy, it seems to me that the issue they're going to have is not getting to make five or six movies introducing the characters beforehand, which may make it a more difficult sell. But if they can keep it in the quality range of Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, I'd be willing to check it out.

Sept. 5, 2012, 9:14 a.m. CST
People keep saying Ruffalo nailed Banner. I dunno. Banner shouldn't have much personality. He should be a little wormy no-personality guy who you'd never notice.
by Autodidact
Ruffalo was a bit GQ.
Sept. 5, 2012, 9:15 a.m. CST
I'd see a Guardians of the Galaxy movie.. something about talking animals in space seems cool
by Autodidact
Seriously, I would bet a million dollars that ANT-MAN will be a huge load of fun if they do it right. I can hardly understand why I'm so excited for it. I just love INNERSPACE and FANTASTIC VOYAGE... funnily I never sat through a single HONEY I SHRUNK movie, mainly because they're so poorly directed and kiddified.
Sept. 6, 2012, 9:13 a.m. CST
RUffalo was a bit GQ? Really? I found him really meek and nerdy. Loved him!
by Poptard_JD
...IF they stick to a space-opera type of story and keep the team away from Earth. Now, I won't mind if they try to have some kind of tie-in to the Avengers. Probably THANOS, but a Thor cameo, or Silver Surfer / Galactus (if Marvel finally got them back) would do just fine. Other than that, avoid Green Lantern's mistake and keep them in space. Find a wacky, end-of-the-universe type of plot (Infinity Gems?) and stick with it. Hell, you could even have a scene of the Avengers looking up at the sky, wondering what the hell is going on up there, but nothing else. This could turn out to be a pretty good movie. I've read GotG from their first appearance, and even if their comic book never set the world on fire, they have plenty of storylines to pick from. Wonder if we will see Nova in it?
...was AMAZING as Banner. Ed Norton was good (plays a good geek), Bana was a little stiff, but Ruffalo really hit it out of the park. I would love to see a HULK movie with this guy. Would Marvel dare to bring...MR FIXIT to the big screen? I would LOVE to see that!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The ranking Democrat on a House committee that oversees workplace safety said Wednesday he's concerned Alpha Natural Resources may be continuing some of Massey Energy's dangerous practices.
Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., noted that Alpha has continued to employ numerous Massey officials who refused to cooperate with the investigation of the April 2010 Upper Big Branch Mine Disaster. Miller also noted that Alpha has decided to fight federal regulators over tough enforcement action at several mines it bought from Massey.
In a House floor speech, Miller focused on the findings of last week's United Mine Workers report on the disaster, outlining routine safety violations, intimidation of workers, and interference with government inspections by Massey.
"I have been personally assured that these corrupt practices won't reappear with the new owners," Miller said. "However, there are some troubling contradictions that merit a careful watch."
Miller noted that Congress has not passed his Robert C. Byrd Mine Safety Protection Act to, among other things, increase criminal penalties and make it easier to hold corporate officials responsible for safety violations.
"It is clear the Massey Energy management actively disregarded their workers' health and safety," Miller said. "Unfortunately, the knowing violation of a mandatory health and safety standard is only a misdemeanor, no matter how many miners are killed.
"This kind of conduct needs to be made a felony, but efforts to increase sanctions have been stifled by the mining industry's lobby," Miller said. "Instead of being held accountable for decisions that caused 29 deaths, Massey Energy executives got a massive $195 million payout when they sold off their company."
Miller said, "If you wonder why people are talking about the 1 percent and the 99 percent, the 99 percent in the mine had their lives put in danger every day.

Mozart Madness
HE2006 had DJs Ming & FS, the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet and jazz from the Anthony Wilson Nonet, alto saxophonist, Zane Musa, John Heard and Company on Friday; jazz from guitarist Chris Standring and singer Melora Hardin, along with the incomparable Dr. John doing his Dr. John thing on Saturday; and my own trio doing jazz on Sunday.

Can guys change?
Posted by Albert Breer
December 24, 2009 10:26 AM
Chris Gasper wrote here about Randy Moss and Rasheed Wallace -- Two athletes that he says can be difficult to root for.
So here's another question relevant to all that's happened of late ... Can pro athletes change late in their careers?
In 2007, it appeared Moss had. Then again, that same year, it seemed like Terrell Owens had reformed from his Philadelphia days in his second season as a Cowboy. And we all know how that worked out.
Truth is, I was told over and over again when the Moss trade happened almost three years ago that you could trace all his issues to losing. That's how New England's been his elixir. Has he really changed? I'd say that the problems he's had this year -- with even a little adversity -- could lead you to think "No."

Pam Korte Chief, Office of State Planning Division of Transportation Planning firstname.lastname@example.com (916) 653-2593
Integrating Modal Plans
Highway Plan
The 2011 Interregional Transportation Strategic Plan (ITSP) is being created by Caltrans to provide updated guidance for statewide transportation system development that connects California's major urban areas and regions via highway and passenger rail. This update to the original 1998 ITSP will reflect legislative and policy changes affecting highway planning, identify route improvements that have occurred since the 1998 plan, and address new matters that were at issue in 1998. This update does not remove or add routes as compared with the previous plan. The 2011 update is expected to be completed by the end of 2011.
Freight Plan
The Department of Transportation is updating the Goods Movement Action Plan (GMAP) under the title, "California Freight Mobility Plan." The GMAP was issued by the California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency (Agency) and the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA) in two phases in 2005 and 2007. Caltrans expects to again partner with the Agency, Cal/EPA, and others on the Freight Mobility Plan. The schedule calls for a draft plan to be developed for the December 2012 CIB Interim Report and a final plan, using modeling tools that are currently under development, to be completed by 2015 for incorporation into the California Transportation Plan.
Rail Plan
The Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act (PRIIA) of 2008 requries that a state rail plan be developed and updated every five years. In addition, California Government Code Section 14036 requires the California Department of Transportation to complete a 10-year rail plan with both passenger and freight rail elements, and that the rail plan be updated every two years.
Transit Plan
The California Department of Transportation, Division of Mass Transportation's (DMT) primary responsibility is the oversight and administration of State and federal grant programs that provide funding for operating assistance and capital improvement projects.DMT encourages the development of mass transportation throughout the state, partnering with transit stakeholders, to help find solutions for an efficient transit system.
Aviation Plan
Caltrans Division of Aeronautics (DOA) prepares the various "Elements" that collectively make up the California Aviation System PLan (CASP). Because the State of California does not own or operate any of the 246 public-use airports in the State, the DOA assumes an oversight role in in helping integrate airports and heliports into multimodal transportation planning.The primary goal is for all Californians to enjoy the economic development, public safety, and recreation benefits of a full-integrated system of air facilities.

Stuttgart. Once again Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, has been successful in the International Engine of the Year Awards. With its 3.8-litre power unit from the 911 Carrera S models, the sports car manufacturer has underpinned its position in a fie of high performance competitors, receiving the coveted "Best New Engine 2009 Award". For eleven years now, this prize has been awarded by the British specialist journal "Engine Technology International" for outstanding engine characteristics.
With the new flat-six engines featuring direct fuel injection Porsche is raising the sportiness, efficiency and environmental compatibility of the 911 to an even higher level than before. The Carrera S for the first time also comes with Porsche's new double-clutch transmission (PDK). And despite an increase in power by 8.5 per cent, the PDK models reduce fuel consumption by more than 13 per cent and CO2 emissions by almost 15 percent.
Output of the 3.8-litre power unit in the S-models is up by 30 to 385 bhp (283 kW), pushing the extra-powerful S-version beyond the magic speed barrier of 300 km/h or 186 mph. Despite this supreme power and performance, the new models in the 911 range once again boast a significant reduction of fuel consumption, the 911 Carrera S Coupé with the PDK version offering even greater fuel economy with average fuel consumption of just 10.2 litres/100 km (combined overall fuel consumption to the EU5 standard).

The Real Deal: Flood Insurance Premiums Sky-High
Updated: Friday, August 2 2013, 10:24 PM EDT
BENNINGTON - Irene, Lee and Sandy may have caused a lot of physical damage and destruction but now it looks like even homeowners who were spared will have to pay more when it comes to their flood insurance premiums.
The hurricanes drained the Federal Flood Insurance Program and now those who are required to have that insurance may have to pay double for it regardless of whether they've ever had a claim.
Bill Wood and his wife have owned a home along a creek that empties into the Walloomsac River in Bennington, Vermont for 27 years. The home has never flooded but because it's in a flood zone, Wood is required by his lender to have flood insurance. "It's almost 5 times what my homeowner's policy is," says Wood, of the price of his premiums. In 2006, his flood insurance premiums were $821, over the past 6 years they have gone up to $1,932, "it just keeps going up... where is it going to stop?" he wonders.
It likely won't stop going up. The head of FEMA has warned that those paying hundreds of dollars now, should expect to pay thousands of dollars over the course of the next four years, and those already paying thousands, " it's going to become unaffordable," says John Murray who is the President and CEO of Rose & Kiernan Inc., in East Greenbush.
"As long as we choose to rebuild in places that traditionally have flooded, we have an issue of adverse selection when it comes to flood insurance," Murray adds. Meaning only people who need it buy it, so the risk pool will likely never be big enough to lower rates. "I think we have to look at construction types, code compliances, building materials, other ways to mitigate some of this--on the way we construct homes or try to loss-control as much as we can and then still have a fund for catastrophic events," says Murray.
For Wood though, if he could move away from water and out of a flood zone he would, "If I could sell the house, but I'm not sure how many buyers would be willing to take a risk, knowing there's your mortgage, your taxes, and a $1900 bill facing you," he says.

Football & Loads Of Repeats!!
Herc's Sunday TV Talkback!!
NBC has Seattle dealing with San Francisco, but this might be a good Sunday for football non-fans to catch up with "Girls" and "Enlightened" on HBO On Demand or watch "Drive" on Netflix.
Mostly this post exists for those curious as to how the season finales of "Survivor," "Dexter" and "Homeland" (and the Newtown episode of "60 Minutes") did in the ratings last Sunday:
Sundays Sept. 23-Dec. 16, 2012

Still hoping for 1 - just ONE - Saints game on my digiOTA Canadian channel
by tangcameo
They haven't played a Sunday morning Saints game ALL season. They've played every other team BUT them.
Suprised Homeland finished down. I assume them going all "24" on the credibility of the storylines hurt it. I didn't like the new direction, but I thought the finale was solid. Hopefully this will signify a return to more grounded plots. Granted they did stretch the credibility of the plots a bit in the finale. As for Dexter, they hit a new high in terms of ratings for Showtime. I wonder if they are rethinking next season as the last for Dexter. Granted, they have already ran out of credible ways for Dexter to keep on killing and not be outed. This season was better than last, but still not returned to its glory years of seasons 1-4. Since next season is the last, I would assume we will see Dexter's world unravel over the course of that season.

Didn't they pull new FG and AD for now because of last week?
by tangcameo
I think all that was left until 2013 were the Christmas episodes and those had unknowingly badly timed kid jokes in them.
Was pretty good this season alot better than the last two seasons. I'm glad that they didn't just have one big bad this season. I think that helped a little. I'm surprised to see that it got a better rating than Homeland.
. . . of course it was better than last season. How could it NOT be? But it's too little too late for me. Yeah, I'll watch til the end, but the show is just ridiculous compared to the building. Dude could break into the Pentagon and find exactly what he needs in 2 minutes on his lunch break. AND he could probably kill someone at half-court in a Heat game and not get caught.
I'm not even on my phone . . . Sheesh.
This as been a rough season for me but hopefully my Boys make the Playoffs DALLAS ALL DAY!

I swear I am the only dude on this planet who could care less about football ...
by Judge Briggs
It's so fucking boring to watch. So many stops that are accompanied by commercials.
It's the only game where 5 minutes can become an hour of sheer boredom. To me, it's just a ton of morons cheering for overpaid idiots to run around and throw a ball. It cracks me up when assholes talk about my team this and my team that. Fuckers, you're not on the team and the team could give a shit less! Losers.
Bunch of guys in tight little uniforms,patting each other on the ass,huddling up together,tackling each other and rolling around on the soft supple astroturf....I dont know. Seems kind of gay to me...not that theres anything wrong with that!!!
He single-handedly won me my Fantasy league. I hope he gets league MVP
and im 100% straight

Fuckers, you're not on the team and the team could give a shit less! Losers. ============================ And what exactly goes on here? A bunch of morons bitching about over-paid writers/producers/actors and that cracks me up when assholes whine and bitch and moan and claim they could do better while nobody in the industry could give a shit less! Losers. Aaron Rodgers: future hall of famer
jobacca said: Bunch of guys in tight little uniforms,patting each other on the ass,huddling up together,tackling each other and rolling around on the soft supple astroturf.... ========================== and what goes on here? bunch of guys sitting in front of their computers bashing shit before you've seen anything to bash about but you do it all together, patting yourselves on the backs for ripping on shit thinking you're being so witty when really you're just in a bubble where whining about entertainment is the cool thing to do, and you do this all week long instead of sitting on the couch for three hours once a week and watching talented people play a great game. Posting on these talkbacks is far, far, far gayer than watching football and you know it just like the rest of the country does. being a football fan is way more common and normal than doing what you all do here.

Heck, I'm Canadian and I don't give a flying fig about hockey!
by tangcameo
And I actually know one of the living legends of the sport and I still would rather watch football or baseball than sit through a hockey game. I think its the combined fact that I HATE winter and skating.

I love American Football! Also, cartoons and Game of Thrones.
by Mr. Voodoo Potato Head
Room for us all.
...i think you misunderstood, football is certainly more socially acceptable than bitching on a talkback, but football is still more homo erotically charged. hence "football is gayer"
Go to a football game (on any level) and stand on the sidelines and watch how hard those guys hit each other and tell me what goes on on the field is homo-erotically charged. Those guys are tough as hell and football is violent. Guys beat the hell out of each other, they're not out there hugging each other--they're trying to beat the shit out of each other and they do. We'd be in the hospital for a week if we had to take one of the twenty five hits a running back takes every game. Bottom line is anyone who genuinely believes playing football is gay has serious sexual insecurity issues and is compensating for those issues.
The NFL on NBC uses what is called flex scheduling. That means NFL can substitute a game that it deems to be better than the originally scheduled one. Instead of the Chargers and Jets, both with 6 wins and 9 losses, the game has been changed to one where both teams have winning records, 10-3 49ers vs. 9-5 Seahawks.

watching geeks complain about football being gay cracks me up
by jsfithaca
i don't usually watch football but i don't get how you could actually hate it and find it boring. drive is an amazing movie. i might actually try to catch up on girls before the new season. see if its as good/bad as people say.
At least the night isn't a total waste
NEEERRRDDDSS!!!! Now take 5 and go shower with each other...long and hard. Make sure the cameras are rolling and the reporters are there. Hut Hut!!
I can't believe I'm even dignifying your comments with a response, but think about this for a second: I TOTALLY get that some people find football dumb, and that's fine. There's a lot of people who don't give a shit about sports and honestly I couldn't care less. What I do find funny and ridiculous is someone thinking football is gay. That says WAY more about you than it does about sports fans and especially the non-sports fans, because even those non-sports fans find nothing gay about the sport. Again, all you're doing is showing your sexual insecurity and you're compensating, bottom line.

What is a "football non-fan?" That grouping of words do not make sense to me.

You said : ... watch how hard those guys hit each other .... Guys beat the hell out of each other, they're not out there hugging each other--they're trying to beat the shit out of each other and they do ... Funny, you've just described gay sex perfectly.

I'm a pretty harsh critic of Razzball, but occasionally we'll post things that even I feel are extremely helpful. Usually these are done by other people for our site. One of those things was the Fantasy Baseball War Room. Another helpful thingie-ma-whosie is the 2011 fantasy baseball tiers, brought to you by regular commenter and all-around solid F.O.R., VinWins. This fantasy baseball tier sheet is like the Cliff Notes version of the 2011 fantasy baseball rankings. The tiers give you where I ranked players and the tier names, which should give you a rough idea of what I'm thinking when you don't have much time.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

Project Aims to "Bridge the Gap" From Remission to Cure in Multiple Myeloma
Published Online:
Friday, June 21, 2013
Brian G.M. Durie, MD
Chairman, International Myeloma Foundation, North Hollywood, CA
When patients respond well to treatment for multiple myeloma, doctors can't tell them whether they've been cured. That news comes 10 years later, after the patients have been monitored carefully for recurrence.
"During that time, you're constantly watching and waiting for the second shoe to drop," according to Brian G.M. Durie, MD, chairman and co-founder of the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF).
Through an IMF project, Durie and his colleagues are seeking to remove that long period of uncertainty for such patients. Under the Black Swan Research Initiative, the team plans to develop the first definitive criteria for a myeloma cure, and to set forth treatment plans to achieve those criteria.
The project will involve developing tests sensitive enough to determine whether patients have any myeloma cells left in their bodies following treatment. Those who don't have such cells would be considered cured, and would know that in the short term. Those who do would be offered different treatments until tests show that their residual cancer cells have been eliminated.
Durie expects the work to be completed within three years.
"We're ready to bridge the gap from long-term remission to cure, by identifying the best treatments at the best time to achieve the best objective, our objective being a new definition of cure based on a complete eradication of any residual myeloma," Durie said.
In an interview with
, Durie provided details about the Black Swan initiative and how he expects the project to develop.
Why is this project called Black Swan?
Here in the Northern Hemisphere, everybody knew swans were white until 1697, when Willem de Vlamingh sailed up Swan River in Western Australia and found black swans. Based on that, we realized swans could be any color. The idea is that we need to be open to new ideas, to look at things you may have been looking at already, but in a new light.
At the same time, we can learn something from the 2010 edition of
The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
, a guide to financial investment theory by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. The concept is that you invest 80% of your money in a standard fashion, but 20% in bold new ideas. The caveats are that: (1) you have to be willing to invest in a number of different projects in parallel, with the idea that one will be fruitful, and (2) you have to consider the best advice out there about which projects might pay off. Likewise, in trying to find a cure for myeloma, we need to look at different research projects in parallel and get the best advice possible to come up with likely projects.
Why is this the right time for the Black Swan Research Initiative?
With novel therapies, we see long-term complete remissions in 15% to 20% of our myeloma patients. These patients are getting to low levels of disease where they could have a minimal residual disease (MRD) level of zero. But we don't have reliable, precise enough testing for MRD. The aim of this project is to come up with tests that are reliable and usable by groups around the world, and that are validated to confirm that they do, indeed, correlate with long-term remission and survival.
Who is conducting the Black Swan research?
A multinational consortium of leading myeloma experts. The consortium is a subset of the International Myeloma Working Group, the research arm of the IMF.
How will this group create tests that are sensitive enough to check for MRD zero?
There are two types of tests that we use on these patients now. One is automated flow cytometry, where you pass blood through a flow cytometer to see if there are any myeloma-like cells in the blood. The other is a test to see, at the molecular level, if there is any myeloma-related DNA in the blood.
