At the half, the Colorado Rapids and Real Salt Lake remain scoreless at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Neither team had many chances, but Colorado held more of the possession and had better opportunities. The Rapids may come to regret not getting the lead in the first half, as Real Salt Lake looked somewhat disjointed but are capable of snapping into form after the restart. Perhaps the best chance of the half came at the beginning of the match, when a cross in the fourth minute from the right of the box came into Wells Thompson, who attempted to toe poke it in the net on a slide. Instead, the ball knifed away from goal and sailed in the opposite direction. Colorado also got a long range blast in injury time that was blocked by Nick Rimando.
But the biggest play of the half came in the 28th minute when Sanna Nyassi tried to run onto a angled pass in the box. Rimando came out to get the ball, and the two met in the box, where Nyassi went flying. There was contact, and honestly it looked like either player could have been given a yellow card on the play, but the referee decided not to call a foul on the play. Rapids players got upset that Nyassi was not awarded a penalty, and there was some pushing and shoving for a moment before order, and the game resumed. Otherwise, the half was not particularly eventful for either side.

RAINIER AND CLATSKANIE high school football players and one Rainier cheerleader have been chosen to be part of the 61st annual Oregon East-West Shrine All-Star Football Game taking place Saturday, Aug. 3, in Baker City.
Derek King of Rainier and Shaine Warren of Clatskanie were selected as players for the West team. Haileymay Walden will be a West team cheerleader from Rainier. Joel Kirkland of Rainier was chosen as a West team alternate.
Proceeds from the annual fundraiser game support Shriners hospitals.
Photos of all four athletes may be found in the August 1, 2013 issue of The Clatskanie Chief.
The Clatskanie Tigers summer league baseball team fell 6-1 to 5A school Crescent Valley of Corvallis in the Oregon Junior State Tournament Thursday, July 25, but came back to defeat South Eugene 4-3 on Friday before losing 17-5 to North Salem on Saturday.
The Tigers gave up three runs in the second inning on several defensive miscues and were unable to recover. Clatskanie managed only three hits and scored their one run on a wild pitch that scored Colten Puzey.
In the consolation bracket of the tournament, the Tigers pulled off a come-from-behind 4-3 victory against South Eugene on Friday, July 26. The Tigers were down 3-0 after two innings and looked to be on their way to an early exit from the tournament, but the Tigers dug in behind the pitching of Mica Karber and timely hitting.
The Tigers scored their first two runs on a Trevor Berg infield single and a Micah McLeod run-batted-in (RBI) single.
Down 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth, Clatskanie tied the game on a Damien Strowger double that scored Nick Donaldson. Strowger then scored the go-ahead run on a Trevor Berg RBI single.
Karber pitched a complete game for the win, allowing four hits. Nick Donaldson and Trevor Berg each had a pair of hits.
The Tigers ended their summer season with a 17-5 loss to North Salem.
They gave up eight runs in the first four innings. The Tigers scored all five of their runs in the fourth to make it an 8-5 game. North Salem responded and took a commanding lead.
Donaldson and Karber each had a pair of hits in the loss.
This summer's Tiger team included: Seth Makinson, Chase Berg, Andrew Hudson, German George, Mica Karber, Micah McLeod, Trevor Berg, Damien Strowger, Colten Puzey, Nick Donaldson, Griffin Haas, Thomas Shelby, Tanner Dykes and Alex McCallister.
For many golfers, a hole-in-one is a once in a lifetime shot, but life-time Clatskanie resident and sports fan Ron Puzey hit his second of the year on Monday, July 29.
Puzey, who was an outstanding athlete for the Clatskanie High School Class of 1952, coached and educated generations of local youth. Monday's 125-yard shot on hole four of the Mint Valley golf course was Puzey's third ever. His second was in February 2013.
"It's a good example that you don't need a lot of skill to get one." said Puzey in his typical self-deprecating humor. He had 86 for the round and explained that he "butchered" the backside of the course.

There have probably been more words written about Twitter than there are Twitter users. While it is considered the newest, most popular form of social networking, fitting into the category of microblogging, it is in fact used by far fewer people than Facebook, for example.
Estimates vary, but the latest numbers from Web analytics company Compete.com put it at 14 million Twitter users per month compared to 91 million monthly Facebook users.
[ Before you decide to deploy Twitter, it's a good idea to consider the security implications. | See how HP and JetBlue are using social media. | And learn InfoWorld's 10 commandments of social media etiquette. ]
However, one area where Twitter appears to be way ahead of Facebook is in business. And Twitter is not alone: Other Twitter-like services, mainly Yammer and Socialtext, are also making inroads into the enterprise.
Twitter is already in business -- big time
Most people associate the word "enterprise" with traditional smokestack industry giants like Colgate Palmolive, ConAgra Foods, and General Motors -- for the time being, at least. But enterprise companies also include Hollywood studios, all the major news networks, and giant publishing companies like the New York Times and Time Warner, which owns CNN. These non-smokestack enterprises have jumped on the Twitter bandwagon with both feet. InfoWorld has also added Twitter to its mobile options.
The broadcast industry was the first to latch onto Twitter as a marketing tool, helping marketing professionals do something they probably learned in Marketing 101: creating customer loyalty by building a relationship with the consumer. And what better way to build a relationship than to use a tool that lets you have a personal, one-on-one conversation with millions of your customer-viewers simultaneously?
CNN, MSNBC, and Fox make their correspondents and program hosts available via Twitter. Whether or not a tweet (the name for a Twitter message) from Wolf Blitzer really is from Blitzer is beside the point. They are building, they hope, loyalty to CNN and Blitzer as a brand. The harsh reality is this: The next time there's a disaster somewhere in the world, they want you to turn to their channel to hear the full details. How better to do that than if you get a tweet alert from Blitzer himself, saying, "Hey buddy, there's trouble in fill-in-the-blank"? Hollywood has followed suit with fans and stars sending tweets back and forth whether the star in question is on location or out of work.
Moving closer to IT, late last month Salesforce.com announced its alliance with Twitter. The deal lets Salesforce.com's business customers monitor public tweets about their products and step in to the conversation with a tweet of their own to show they care or to resolve a problem. And in the case where a tweet solves a particular product issue, the Salesforce.com customer can make that solution part of its knowledge base if the issue arises in the future.
Does Twitter have a use beyond marketing?
The question now is whether Twitter's use in the enterprise will move beyond marketing. Can it play a role in other sectors of a business -- especially in IT?

SAN FRANCISCO -- Pablo Sandoval, National League All-Star? It's a possibility.Injuries to Philadelphia's Placido Polanco and Atlanta's Chipper Jones, the third basemen currently on the NL All-Star squad, have made Sandoval a candidate to be added to the team that will face its American League counterparts in Tuesday's Midsummer Classic at Phoenix. The Reds' Scott Rolen was named Saturday to replace Jones, while Polanco hopes to test his ailing back Sunday and remain the NL's starting third baseman. "It's fair to say he has a shot," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy, who happens to be the NL All-Star skipper and will have a hand in selecting the third-base replacements. "He missed a lot of time, but he's been doing a nice job." Sandoval missed 40 games after fracturing his right hamate bone and undergoing surgery. But he entered Saturday batting .317 (26-for-82) with 10 doubles, three homers and 12 RBIs during a 19-game hitting streak that he extended to 20 games with a first-inning double Saturday. Overall, Sandoval was hitting .301 with eight homers and 27 RBIs. Other leading possibilities include Aramis Ramirez of the Chicago Cubs (.299, 15 homers, 50 RBIs) and Chase Headley of the San Diego Padres (.301, two homers, 31 RBIs). Since Bochy envisioned Polanco as a potential utility man, Bochy said that whoever's added should be capable at more than one position.
"Which I think fits Pablo," he said, referring to Sandoval's ability to play first base and catch.Bochy added that a decision could be announced as early as Saturday night.
Bochy liking Tejada at second base
SAN FRANCISCO -- The sight of Miguel Tejada playing second base could become more and more common in the early days following the All-Star break and perhaps beyond that, manager Bruce Bochy indicated."We're looking at him playing a lot of second base," Bochy said Saturday as Tejada prepared to start at that spot for the fourth time in five games. Pablo Sandoval's all-around excellence at third base and Brandon Crawford's slick defense at shortstop prevent Tejada from claiming much playing time at either of those positions. But Tejada's mini-resurgence at the plate has prompted Bochy to try to keep him in the lineup. Entering Saturday, Tejada was hitting .361 (13-for-36) with two home runs and six RBIs in his previous 10 games. Bochy said that Tejada's arm strength, which is probably his most prominent defensive asset at this stage of his career, comes in handy on backhanded plays at second base, though he's still acquainting himself with plays that force him to move to his left. Until this past week, Tejada, 37, had never played second base in his previous 2,100 Major League appearances.
Worth noting
Jim Riggleman, who resigned from his post as Washington's manager late last month, will interview for a position within the Giants organization next week, Nationals site reporter Bill Ladson of MLB.com confirmed. The Giants have several experienced baseball men of Riggleman's ilk, such as Lou Piniella, serving as special assistants to general manager Brian Sabean. ... Bochy said that he has essentially decided on the order of the Giants' starting rotation coming out of the All-Star break, though he declined to divulge it. Bochy said that the pitching sequence will not be affected by whether Tim Lincecum or Ryan Vogelsong appears in Tuesday's All-Star Game.

The minute I reported to work to film my scene as The Producer, I instinctively knew I was a part of a film that was destined for greatness. Ben Affleck was a giving and insightful Director to
work for and his attention to detail was a special experience as an Actor. Ben deserves every bit
of the accolades that have come his way as his incredible commitment to the work and discipline
he brought with it, along with the passion was extraordinary. I am honored to have worked for him and this film-Argo.

Capture One Pro 7
Capture One Express 7
Media Pro
Patrick Ross had his first professional photo shoot the day after he graduated from the Brooks Institute of Photography. He credits his education there for helping him develop his craft to a very high level and prepared him well for the "real" work world.
He transitioned from film to digital photography, by way of scanning 4x5" film to create digital files. He tried to integrate 35mm dslr camera systems along the way, but has told us that he could not achieve the quality he and his clients required.
His current gear incudes technical cameras with the Phase One IQ260 digital back. He's even shot under conditions in which a digital SLR might have solved a particular problem, but the client has told him not to use the camera because the sensor was too small and he loves the quality from "the big camera".
"My background and training, plus the move to Phase One distinguished me from other photographers in my region. My clients have often invested years of their lives in designing and building of a project, so it's essential that when they work with someone, they receive the extra care and attention to detail necessary to end up with the highest quality images.
In the field As Patrick describes his work, you get the sense that he almost takes Capture One Pro 7 for granted. Yet, as we explored his use of the software in greater detail, it became clear that certain aspects of Capture One Pro 7 were key to helping him achieve the results he sought during his architectural shoots, even while shooting with one of the best cameras in the world.
He explains:
"I use technical camera bodies with the Phase One back to get things correct "in camera." But there is a place in even the most serious architectural photographer's bag of tricks for some of the features in Capture One Pro 7 -- such as the keystone tool.
"For example, I was on a catwalk today photographing a new and very large basketball arena. Many of the ultra wide technical camera lenses don't have the largest image circle. I had to point the camera down instead of just being able to level the camera and fall the lens severely. Leveling the camera on two axes and falling the lens would ensure an accurate depiction if the lens had had enough image circle to cover this. But it didn't. In this instance, I had to point the camera down to get the desired subject matter in frame and used the keystone tool to make the image "architecturally correct".
"I create an LCC just after I have finished photographing a scene. It is shot under the same lighting conditions as the scene and using the same lens f stop. After processing the file and applying it to images, it renders a completely corrected representation of the scene by removing lens color casts and correcting falloff. The falloff is something you can correct anywhere from 0-100 percent. So if you want the upper corners of the images a little darker -- say, if you were doing a large rise -- you can have any level of falloff you would like.
"The ability to mask in Capture One Pro 7 is great. Many scenes have multiple light sources of different color temperatures and at different intensities. You can use a mask on each source to neutralize any color shift and bring down the exposure.
Summing up "In photography, time of day and putting in the effort are still everything: capturing the fleeting moment. As our general craft degrades down paths of convenience and HDR "auto-pilot" practitioners, we all have an opportunity to keep "real" photography alive. We have the greatest set of tools ever available to any photographers with the Phase One backs, incredible lenses and Capture One Pro 7 software. It would be a real shame not to use them to their fullest potential and to keep excellent photography alive and desirable.
"Of all the features in Capture One Pro 7 that I most rely on, it has to be the lens cast correction (LCC) tool. It's crazy how much cleaner an image you can achieve than ever before (and I've been shooting with Capture One Pro since version 4). "Overall, Capture One Pro 7 is wonderfully flexible. You can layout your work space just the way you want it, and even in the most basic auto adjust mode, it's very intelligent."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The paper quality is excellent. The reviewer worked with me several times to get the colors exactly right. I am so happy with this card and the RSVP cards as well."
"The paper quality is very good and the printing is excellent. Shipping is very fast even in Italy and the staff of Wedding Paper Divas is really nice and helpful. I would recommend anyone to purchase on this website! My vote is EXCELLENT, I love Wedding Paper Divas."
"I love the look of this product - front AND back. Please note that the "preset phrasing" on the invitations can be more customized to what you want; I added into the notes what I wanted (Bride and Grooms name on separate lines, grooms parents name after grooms name, etc) and they revised it to exactly how I wanted it. They even gave me a few different options based on what they thought might look better or less wordy. So keep in mind that just because there are a few templates to use, you can still customize it to exactly how you want it!!!"
"We opted to go with the Elegant Enchantment series of products for our wedding invitation, thank you cards, and even details card. However, the RSVP card did not meet our specifications and/or could not be configured (through the website) to our liking, so we got the RSVP card from the Textured Linen series. It did not match 100% but served as an adequate substitute (plus we were able to include the information we wanted on that card). For customization, we opted for the blue/green flowers and used rounded corners with all of the correspondence. All in all, this series met our expectations in every possible way."
"This design is even more detailed that it appears in the picture and all of my guests have commented how beautiful it is. The designers are very accomodating and did a beautiful job customizing this to match the wedding colors and include all the wording I wanted. It came out beautifully and I could not be happier with the whole process."

Waits, Tom – "Orphans " – [Anti-, Inc.]
A fabulous and diverse collection, all in Tom's unique styles. Discs 1 and 3 are more raucous, while disc 2 is more like the pre-Swordfishtrombones album mellower material. "Lie To Me" sounds like a demented Elvis. "Lucinda" sounds like Wolfman Jack with indigestion. A long standout track "The Road To Peace" is about suffering. "Heigh Ho" sounds like he is singing from a sewer. He covers the old songs "Sea of Love," "Goodnight Irene," "Young At Heart" and "Two Sisters." Some of his songs start rather prettily, then there is a bash on a trash can lid or some equivalent and the fun off kilter tune really starts. Some songs are mostly spoken word, such as 'Army Ants," which is like a nature documentary. "Redrum" is a little instrumental. "Children's Story" is about the least happy or soothing imaginable. Other spoken story pieces, with music or just sound effects, are "First Kiss," "Nirvana" and 'Spidey's Wild Ride." Masterful original stuff here; if not original material, still original approach and execution. – Shiroi

Mail Room: Ask Sandra
Q: One of my customers only sells business services to other businesses. I want to suggest a direct mail
campaign, so what are the best offers to include?
A: Selling and marketing to businesses is entirely different from consumer marketing. You still will want to have an attractive mail piece, envelope, and offer. Think about the kind of things that would interest you as a business owner or manager. Specific offers that work well with the B2B market: a white paper, free webinar or seminar, needs analysis or consultation, or free product trial.
You might also suggest that your customer promote a special event or open house at his facility. You can use your customer's "house list" or suggest that a new list be purchased after consulting with your client about his objectives. Make sure the address database is updated with CASS and NCOA/Move update for address accuracy.
Finally, use color and personalization on both the mail piece and the envelope to improve the openability. You might also want to suggest using a QR code to link back to your customer's website or product video. Your customer will appreciate your creative suggestions.
For more information visit www.MyPrintResource.com/10007238

Ryman League round up week 22
2:34pm Monday 13th January 2014 in Sport By Tim Ashton, Sports Editor
Ryman Premier League
Kingstonian were the big winners of the weekend after a 2-1 triumph over Dulwich Hamlet lifted Alan Dowson's men to joint top of the table.
Andre McCollin's penalty and a late Daniel Sweeney goal sealed the points at Kingsmeadow, and ended a run of two games without a win.
Former Ks man Matt Pattison bagged his second goal in Met Police colours as Jim Cooper's side ran out 2-1 winners over AFC Hornchurch at Imber Court.
Ricardo Joseph was also on target as Met extended their 100 per cent record in the league to four games.
Another team on a fine run of form is Hampton & Richmond Borough, and there was no stopping them at the Beveree when Carshalton Athletic were the visitors.
David Tarpey grabbed a brace and Ben Harris got on the scoresheet as the Beavers extended their unbeaten run to six games.
That run may have something to do with the form of Charlie Moone – he has scored in each of the previous five games and was on target again over the Robins, making it 29 goals for the season in all competitions.
Ryman Division One South
It was not a good day for the region's teams, with Tooting & Mitcham United claiming the only point of the day.
Max Noble bagged two goals in a 2-2 draw with Chipstead at Imperial Fields, leaving the Terrors 12th in the table.
Walton & Hersham went 1-0 down at home to Horsham, while Corinthian Casuals remain rooted to the foot of the table after a 2-0 home defeat to Burgess Hill Town.
Liam Collins converted his second penalty in as many games last weekend, but Walton Casuals went down 2-1 at Guernsey.

Michiko Owaki, representing the "Japanese Moms Group of Bloomington, Indiana," is spearheading an effort in Bloomington to assist victims of the earthquakes and tsunami in Japan. Her group is busy making beautiful, handmade origami peace crane earrings. Bloomingfoods is now offering the earrings in our West Side store, with all proceeds being donated to the Japan Earthquake Relief Fund. Bloomingfoods is delighted to participate in this project, and we loved Michiko's letter describing how it all came about.
"I am thrilled that our earrings have made it to one of my favorite stores in town, Bloomingfoods Near West Side. It seems to me that the fact that our crane earrings made it to Bloomingfoods Near West Side is a kind of inevitability, if not destiny, because the store is in a way the birthplace of these earrings: about a week after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, I ran into a friend, Amy, who used to make and sell her own jewelry, at the Near West Side store. We started talking about the tragedy that hit Japan, and then it occurred to me to ask her if she could help me and other Japanese moms in town to make earrings with our origami (paper-craft) cranes. Amy was very willing to offer us any help she could, and soon I started organizing this charity handcraft project with my fellow Japanese mothers in Bloomington.
It struck me as another inevitable coincidence that when I went to see and ask you to sell the earrings in the Near West Side store, I ran into Amy again (!) - she must be a frequent customer there - and another bunch of people who had been helping me to develop my fundraising projects for this cause, including Susan Krieg, who has helped me to organize a charity classical music concert at St. Thomas Lutheran Church, the event in which we are also selling our crane earrings and other handcraft items.
What does this all mean? ... I think it is that Bloomingfoods Near West Side store is a place where you keep bumping into your good friends, thus we always have nice chats and smiles - and a place where cool things happen!
Thank you very much again for making it possible to sell our earrings without commission, we are really grateful to you about it.
Michiko Owaki

Its score is 1.7 points better than last year, with improvements in half of the 10 economic freedoms including the management of public finance, investment freedom, and labor freedom. Finland is ranked 7th out of 43 countries in the Europe region, and its overall score is well above the world average.The Finnish economy continues to be one of the 20 freest in the Index. Well-secured property rights, including for intellectual property, promote entrepreneurship, productivity growth, and economic resilience. Minimum tolerance for corruption is institutionalized in an efficient legal framework that strongly sustains the rule of law. The judicial system, independent of political influence, ensures effective and transparent enforcement of commercial contracts.Finland's openness to foreign trade and investment provides real stimulus for a dynamic and resilient economy. A sound regulatory environment and minimal barriers to trade have contributed to competition and innovation. However, with government spending over 50 percent of GDP and public debt growing in recent years, fiscal policy is a serious concern. In a move to restore fiscal sustainability, the 2013 budget aims for greater prudence and balance in government budgeting. Read more about Finland Economy. Close Background In April 2011, the center-right National Coalition Party formed a six-party governing coalition with Jyrki Katainen as prime minister. In the February 2012 presidential elections, the National Coalition Party's Sauli Niinistö won in the second round of voting, ending 30 years of Social Democrat presidencies. Finland became a member of NATO's Partnership for Peace in 1994 and sits on the Euro–Atlantic Council, but it has not pursued full NATO membership because of its neutral military status. It joined the European Union in 1995 and adopted the euro as its currency in 1999. Finland is sparsely populated, with about one-fourth of its land mass above the Arctic Circle. It boasts a modern and competitive economy with vibrant information and communications technology sectors. Rule of LawView Methodology Property Rights 90.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Freedom From Corruption 94.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Property rights are well protected, and contractual agreements are strictly honored. The quality of the judiciary is generally high. Finland adheres to numerous international agreements concerning the protection of intellectual property. In 2012, a district court handed down unprecedentedly strong sentences to several businessmen who were accused of bribing politicians in the 2007 general election. Limited GovernmentView Methodology Government Spending 12.2 Create a Graph using this measurement Fiscal Freedom 66.9 Create a Graph using this measurement The top income tax rate is 30.5 percent, and the top corporate tax rate is 24.5 percent. Other taxes include a value-added tax (VAT) and a capital income tax. The overall tax burden is 42.1 percent of total domestic income. Government spending remains high at 54.1 percent of GDP, but the budget deficit has shrunk. Public debt remains under control, with implementation of fiscal reforms scheduled for the next few years. Regulatory EfficiencyView Methodology Business Freedom 94.8 Create a Graph using this measurement Labor Freedom 45.3 Create a Graph using this measurement Monetary Freedom 79.5 Create a Graph using this measurement The efficient and transparent regulatory framework encourages entrepreneurship. Launching a business costs about 1 percent of the level of average annual income and takes only three procedures. The non-salary cost of employing a worker is moderate, and severance payments are not overly burdensome. Monetary stability has been well maintained, although rising food prices have edged inflation higher. Open MarketsView Methodology Trade Freedom 86.8 Create a Graph using this measurement Investment Freedom 90.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Financial Freedom 80.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Finland's trade policy is the same as that of other members of the European Union, with the common EU weighted average tariff rate standing at 1.6 percent. Finland is open to international trade and investment, and investment regulations are transparent and efficient. The well-developed financial system is competitive and provides a wide range of services. Banking remains generally sound despite strains in global financial markets.

Warfarin Sensitivity Genotype by Sequence Analysis, Blood
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Warfarin is a coumarin-based drug commonly utilized in anticoagulation therapy to prevent thrombosis due to inherited and acquired hemostatic disorders. The drug is also used in a number of other medical conditions and treatments including atrial fibrillation and hip replacement surgery. Warfarin acts by interfacing with the metabolism of vitamin K, which is necessary for production of key coagulation factors. Warfarin inhibits vitamin K recycling by blocking its metabolism at the vitamin K-epoxide intermediate thereby decreasing the amount of available vitamin K. Warfarin has a narrow therapeutic window; under medicating increases the risk for thrombosis and overmedicating increases the risk for cerebrovascular accidents. Warfarin therapy has one of the highest rates of severe adverse drug reactions.
Warfarin is dosed using non genetic factors including gender, weight, and age, and is monitored by coagulation testing in order to maintain the international normalized ratio (INR) within specific limits. However, warfarin metabolism is highly variable and dependent upon genetic factors. Polymorphisms within 2 genes are known to affect the metabolism of warfarin and the dose needed to maintain the correct serum drug level and degree of anticoagulation, as measured by the INR.
The cytochrome P450 2C9 gene (CYP2C9) encodes an enzyme that metabolizes the more active isomer of warfarin (S-warfarin) to inactive products. Polymorphisms in this gene decrease the activity of the enzyme and may cause increases in serum warfarin and overmedicating, driving INR above the therapeutic target level.
The second gene (VKORC1) encodes vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit-1 (VKORC1), a small transmembrane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum that is part of the vitamin K cycle and the target of warfarin therapy.(1) VKORC1 is primarily transcribed in the liver, although it is present in smaller amounts in the heart and pancreas. Vitamin K epoxide, a by-product of the carboxylation of blood coagulation factors, is reduced to vitamin K by VKORC1. A polymorphism within the promoter of VKORC1 decreases expression of the gene, decreasing the availability of vitamin K. This may cause increases in serum warfarin and overmedicating, driving INR above the therapeutic target level.
Thus, in both situations (polymorphisms in either CYP2C9 or VKORC1), a reduced warfarin dose is needed to compensate for the effects of the polymorphism in order to maintain the target INR.
CYP2C9 metabolizes a wide variety of drugs including warfarin and many nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It is also partially responsible for metabolizing other drugs such as fluoxetine, fluvastatin, phenytoin, and oral hypoglycemic drugs.
A number of specific polymorphisms have been found in the CYP2C9 gene that results in enzymatic deficiencies. The following information outlines the relationship between the polymorphisms detected in this assay and the effect on the activity of the enzyme encoded by that allele:
CYP2C9 Allele
Nucleotide Change
Effect on Enzyme Metabolism
None (wild type)
Extensive metabolizer (normal)
Reduced activity
Minimal activity
Reduced activity
Reduced activity
No activity
Dosing of warfarin, which is metabolized through CYP2C9, may require adjustment for the individual patient. Patients who are poor metabolizers (reduced activity) may benefit by dose reductions or by being switched to other comparable drugs that are not metabolized primarily by CYP2C9. The following is a partial listing of drugs known to affect CYP2C9 activity as of the date of this report. A more complete listing is presented in the drug label, available from URL:
Drugs that undergo metabolism by CYP2C9:
-Angiotensin II blockers: irbesartan, losartan
-Anticoagulants: warfarin (more active S-isomer)
-Antidepressants: amitriptyline (minor), fluoxetine
-Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS): celecoxib, diclofenac, ibuprofen, naproxen, piroxicam, suprofen
-Oral hypoglycemic agents: glipizide, glimepiride, glyburide/glibenclamide, nateglinide, tolbutamide
-Miscellaneous drugs: fluvastatin, phenytoin, sulfamethoxazole, tamoxifen, torsemide
-Coadministration of these drugs may decrease the rate of elimination of other drugs metabolized by CYP2C9
Drugs known to increase CYP2C9 activity:
-Phenobarbital, rifampin, secobarbital
-Coadministration of these drugs increase the synthesis of CYP2C9, resulting in increased CYP2C9 activity and metabolism of warfarin. A dose increase may be needed to maintain the INR in the target range
Drugs known to decrease CYP2C9 activity:
-Amiodarone, fenofibrate, fluconazole, fluvastatin, isoniazid, lovastatin, phenylbutazone, sertraline, sulfamethoxazole, sulfaphenazole, teniposide, ticlopidine, voriconazole, zafirlukast
-Coadministration of these drugs may decrease the rate of metabolism of CYP2C9-metabolized drugs, including warfarin, increasing the possibility of toxicity
The -1639 promoter polymorphism is located in the second nucleotide of an E-Box (CANNTG) and its presence disrupts the consensus sequence, reducing promoter activity. In vitro experiments show a 44% higher transcription level of the G versus the A allele.(1) The -1639 G->A nucleotide change results in decreased gene expression and reduced enzyme activity.
Cytochrome P450 Patient Education Brochure (Supply T526) is available upon request.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Identifying patients who may require warfarin dosing adjustments(2,3) including:
-Patients who have previously been prescribed warfarin and have required multiple dosing adjustments to maintain the international normalized ratio in the target range
-Patients with a history of thrombosis or bleeding when previously taking warfarin
-Patients being started on a first prescription for warfarin
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An interpretive report will be provided.
The normal genotype (wild-type) for CYP2C9 is termed CYP2C9*1. Other genotypes that lead to inactive or reduced activity alleles include CYP2C9*2, CYP2C9*3, CYP2C9*4, CYP2C9*5, and CYP2C9*6. An individual who has homozygous wild-type, CYP2C9*1/CYP2C9*1, is considered an extensive metabolizer.
The normal genotype for VKORC1 is -1639G. A polymorphism at -1639A reduces VKORC1 expression. The VKORC1 GA or AA genotype leads to a significant decrease in mRNA expression in the liver compared with individuals with the GG genotype.
Individuals who have polymorphisms in both the VKORC1 promoter (GA or AA) and also in CYP2C9 should receive a reduced dose of warfarin to maintain the international normalized ratio in the target range; dosing adjustments are required when polymorphisms in both genes are present.
Drug-drug interactions and drug-metabolite inhibition must be considered when dealing with heterozygous individuals. Drug-metabolite inhibition can occur, resulting in inhibition of residual functional CYP2C9 or VKORC1 catalytic activity. A clinical pharmacologist should be consulted for assessing the potential for drug interactions.
Patients may also develop toxicity problems if liver and kidney function are impaired.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Patients who have received a heterologous blood transfusion within the preceding 6 weeks, or who have received an allogeneic blood or marrow transplant, can have inaccurate genetic test results due to presence of donor DNA.
CYP2C9 or VKORC1 genetic test results in patients who have undergone liver transplantation may not accurately reflect the patient's CYP2C9 or VKORC1 status.
This assay should be ordered on patients who require decreased warfarin dosing to maintain the international normalized ratio in the therapeutic range.
This test detects only the specified polymorphisms. Additional findings, such as small insertions and deletions or novel mutations, will be reported if found. Other polymorphisms in the primer binding regions can affect the testing, and, ultimately, the genotyping assessments made.
Warfarin metabolism may be inhibited through drug-drug interactions, including amiodarone and statins.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

SWAMPSCOTT, Mass. —
Those comments went viral, drawing the furry of gun rights and privacy advocates, prompting Greenfield yesterday to issue a written apology to the town:
"I have no interest in having our town seek out the ability to violate the Fourth Amendment and perform warrantless search and seizure of personal property. If anything I have said or written gave that impression, I apologize. My intention was simply to learn more about whether or not an existing law could be enforced within the strict boundaries of the Constitution."
Greenfield said he previously decided not to run for another term, but he plans to stay on the board until next year's town election.
John Callahan, who serves as a selectman with Greenfield, said his colleague was a reasonable question, and the online response is unjustified.
"He put the idea out as a possibility," said Callahan. "It turned from a simple question about applying a state law into a story about a town that wants to take everyone's guns away."

SANYA, China (AP) -- Severe conditions in the South China Sea have raised the prospect of the first delayed start in the Volvo Ocean Race's 39-year history.
The fourth leg of the race from Sanya in China to Auckland, New Zealand, is due to start Sunday but forecasts of waves up to 10 meters and 50-knot winds have led some to urge a delay to as late as Wednesday.
"We're heading into hell," said Iker Martinez, the World Sailor of the Year and skipper of race leaders Telefonica. "I know that a delayed start is an option organizers are looking at and that seems like a good idea to me. No one's going to win the race here but you could definitely lose it on this start."
With only six boats contesting this year's race, organizers can ill afford a repeat of the last edition of the race when three boats suffered breakages in their passage through the Luzon Strait between the Philippines and Taiwan.
"Our sailors are used to taking on treacherous conditions in all weathers but what we're looking at here is beyond reasonable," said Race CEO Knut Frostad, who added that the decision would be left until the last minute. "We're looking at waves like liquid mountain ranges and they can split a boat in two in a heartbeat."
The costs of a delay would be considerable, with organizers estimating a total bill of at least $500,000 if the start is put back to Wednesday.
Spain's Telefonica leads by 15 points from Team New Zealand, with France's Groupama in third.
The next points scoring opportunity will be on Saturday when the teams contest the Sanya in-port race. Leg four is due to take around 18 days, while the race itself will finish in Galway, Ireland, in July.
1. Telefonica (Spain) 95 points, 2. Camper/ETNZ (Spain/NZ) 80, 3. Groupama (France) 71, 4. Puma (U.S.) 48, 5. Abu Dhabi (U.A.E.) 39, 6. Sanya (China) 16

Review: Chang's, Blackburn
4:14pm Monday 29th October 2012 in Latest restaurant reviews By Jonathon Dillon, Assistant news editor
AFTER dropping off my mum at a Charlie Landsborough gig at King George's Hall, we found ourselves with a few hours to kill and hungry stomachs to fill.
Sunday nights are not the busiest in Blackburn, especially cold ones, and we were surprised even McDonald's was closed.
So off we set in search of Chinese food. We found ourselves at Chang's Gourmet Restaurant and were pleased to see other diners inside. Always a good sign.
We sat down and the warm radiators thawed us out. As we perused the menu sipping our crisp and refreshing Chinese beers, the buffet style banquet took our fancy at a reasonable £11.90 each.
My fiancée ordered the chicken and sweetcorn soup, accompanied by prawn crackers, a hearty portion of barbecue spare ribs followed by a main course of chicken with hot chilli and garlic sauce.
The soup arrived piping hot and the spare ribs had plenty of meat on.
I had a starter of Char Siu pork hot and sour soup, followed by a gargantuan portion of deep fried chicken balls with sweet and sour sauce and a main course of pork curry, which she made extra spicy for me as you can't beat a bit of kick.
The accompaniments of boiled rice and chow mein with bean sprouts were adequate. A few scoops of ice cream rounded off the feast.
A warning: we finished our buffet well within the two hour time slot but diners who fail to finish their food could incur an extra charge.

Thanks very much in regards to help and guidance, and also wishing us well. Will do just that fairly girl in regards to weaning them in to their new environment, before planting them in their fixed setting. Am from Falkirk myself originally but am now based down in Oxfordshire where the work is to be carried out. when planting them in their final location, I think I am going to protect each specimen individually with a tree guard and stake. Then protect the whole area with some fencing to hopefully avoid any deer damage, how does this sound? Will let you both know how get on as the client won't mind at all, and hopefully the specimens will thrive with the right amount of aftercare. Although if we have another day like yesterday wind wise, they may end up in the farmers field next door
Yes, any newly planted young trees around here at present would need an anchor to keep them in place!! If each has a well placed, low stake, and a cleared of grass area to grow in they should do fine - do deer eat oaks? I know there are some trees they don't, but as that is a problem we don't have here I know little about it. Tree guards are a good idea, or if the deer don't get them the rabbits might - all protection you can give - though nature does her job prettyd well anyway, she probably appreciates a helping hand now and again. Good luck.
Not sure if deer eat them but I wouldn't take any chances-not after spending hundreds of pounds on 'supposedly' rabbit proof plants only to see them become bunny supper..
Lewis - any help you can give 'em will be worthwhile!
As Bookertoo says-the low stake is best as it allows the top to flex and bend with the wind and thereby strengthens it, while keeping the bottom well anchored.
Good luck with it
Thanks again for the help and guidance, will let you both know how things go as the client is keen to get them on their way. In regards to a low stake, I understand exactly what you are saying, should this be a specific size to the specimen, say half or a third of the size out of the ground possibly to encourage the healthy tapour we are after.
I have seen this sort of thing used very successfully http://www.acorn-planting-products.com/pages/product-range/shelterguard-tree-shelters/tree-shelters---tubes.php
also some good guidance re stakes etc here http://www.forestry.gov.uk/pdf/eng-treecare-guide.pdf/$file/eng-treecare-guide.pdf
Good luck - sounds a lovely project
That's a good site for the tree guards Dove.
I should have said that Lewis-of course if you have the taller guards on your saplings the stake can't go on at an angle!

Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz, among the dozen players who accepted 50-game suspensions from Major League Baseball on Monday for ties with the Biogenesis anti-aging clinic in Florida, blamed his situation on a gastrointestinal illness. Cruz's statement:
I have been notified by the Commissioner of Major League Baseball that I have been suspended for 50 games for violation of the Joint Drug Agreement. I have decided to accept this suspension and not exercise my rights under the Basic Agreement to appeal. From November, 2011 to January, 2012, I was seriously ill with a gastrointestinal infection, helicobacter pylori, which went undiagnosed for over a month. By the time I was properly diagnosed and treated, I had lost 40 pounds. Just weeks before I was to report to spring training in 2012, I was unsure whether I would be physically able to play. Faced with this situation, I made an error in judgment that I deeply regret, and I accept full responsibility for that error. I should have handled the situation differently, and my illness was no excuse. I am thankful for the unwavering support of my family, friends, and teammates during this difficult time. I look forward to regaining the trust and respect of the Rangers organization, my teammates, and the great Rangers' fans, and I am grateful for the opportunity to rejoin the team for the playoffs.
This is a bit like saying, "The common cold forced me to rob that bank," but we all tell each other a lot of lies over time to be able to sleep at night. This would seem like one of them.
