UPDATE 1-Merck nausea drug works in children in late-stage trial
(Adds details, background, share movement)
June 30 (Reuters) - Merck & Co Inc said its drug for treating chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, Emend, was shown to be more effective than a placebo in a late-stage trial in children.
The company said it plans to file for marketing approval for Emend in the U.S. for the new pediatric formulation in the second half of 2014.
Merck said 51 percent of patients getting Emend showed no vomiting, no retching and no use of rescue medication for nausea and vomiting 25 to 120 hours following the beginning of chemotherapy, compared to 26 percent of those on a placebo.
More than 70 percent of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy suffer from nausea and vomiting that may result in a delay or discontinuation of treatment.
Prolonged nausea and vomiting can also lead to weight loss, dehydration and malnutrition.
Emend is already approved for treating chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in adults and had global sales of $507 million in 2013.
Tesaro Inc's experimental drug Rolapitant, if approved, will compete with Emend. (Reporting by Shailesh Kuber and Esha Dey in Bangalore; Editing by Saumyadeb Chakrabarty and Joyjeet Das)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Foreign demand for U.S. Treasury securities rose to a record level in September for the ninth straight month. The increase suggests that overseas investors are confident in U.S. debt despite a potential budget crisis.
The Treasury Department said Friday that total foreign holdings rose to $5.46 trillion in September, up 0.1 percent from August.
China, the largest holder of U.S. government debt, barely increased its holdings in September to $1.16 trillion. Japan, the second-largest, increased its holdings to $1.13 trillion. Brazil trimmed its holdings to $267 billion.
Investors continued to buy U.S. Treasurys even as lawmakers and President Barack Obama remained at odds over whether to raise the U.S. borrowing limit as part of a broader budget deal. Private economists predicted that demand for U.S. debt will continue in coming months, given worries about the European debt crisis.
"We expect that foreign investors are now piling back into the safety of U.S. debt and shunning equities," said Paul Edelstein, director of financial economics at IHS Global Insight.
The federal government is expected to hit its current borrowing limit of $16.39 trillion by the end of December. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has said he will resort to the same maneuvers he used in the last debt standoff in 2011 to keep the government from defaulting on its debt. But these operations will buy only a few weeks' time until late February or early March before the government will face the prospect of a first-ever debt default if Congress doesn't raise the debt ceiling.

Gazzang, the Linux data security company, today announced the company recently completed its strongest quarter to-date. Year-end sales for Gazzang grew more than 4x from 2011 to 2012. Also during 2012, Gazzang strengthened its big data security product portfolio, expanded its go-to-market channels, and more than doubled the average deal size compared to 2011. These milestones helped the company secure $4 million in funding in December from Austin Ventures and Silver Creek Ventures.
"Our performance during the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2012 is further proof that we're well positioned at the confluence of the maturing big data market and the mounting data security regulations that organizations must enforce," said Larry Warnock, president and CEO of Gazzang. "As savvy enterprises begin to adopt an 'encrypt everything' approach to their sensitive and regulatory data, we believe that will drive even greater demand for robust key and secure object management and access controls. These market conditions will set the stage for an exciting and successful 2013."
2012 highlights include:
- Strong Sales – Compliance requirements such as HIPAA-HITECH, PCI-DSS and the EU Data Protection Directive, as well as the need to secure and govern sensitive data, continue to drive demand. The company saw significant growth in new business and existing customer accounts, with strong traction in health care, retail, financial services and public sector organizations.
Product Innovation – Gazzang significantly expanded its product
portfolio by adding the following products:
- Gazzang zTrustee™, a universal key manager that stores and manages cryptographic keys, certificates, configuration files, tokens and any other opaque object.
- Gazzang zOps™, a SaaS solution for monitoring the performance of an organization's Gazzang applications and the health of its Linux environment.
- Gazzang zEscrow™, a key backup and recovery service for Ubuntu.
- Expanded Partnerships – Gazzang expanded its go-to-market channels by joining the Amazon Partner Network and forging customer engagement partnerships with big data leaders including 10gen, Cloudera, DataStax and IBM Infosphere BigInsights.
- Industry Involvement and Accolades – Gazzang was named one of 10 finalists selected for the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium Innovation Showcase and was featured in top-tier industry and analyst publications including 451 Research, CIO, CRN, Network World and Silicon Angle. The company is also an active participant in the Cloud Security Alliance Big Data Working Group and is working with other security organizations to develop best practices around big data-scale cryptography, cloud infrastructure, policy and governance.
About Gazzang
Gazzang provides Linux data security solutions and operational diagnostics that help enterprises protect sensitive information and maintain performance in cloud environments. Gazzang is backed by Austin Ventures and Silver Creek Ventures. For more information, visit www.gazzang.com.

Chest x-ray of TB: There are frequent associations between drug use and environmental factors, including tobacco smoking, alcohol abuse, social disadvantages and incarceration, which increase the risk of TB. – Filepic
Drug users are at high risk for tuberculosis (TB), and they have been the drivers of TB epidemics in many countries.
ACCORDING to the National Anti-Drug Agency (NADA), there are more than 300,000 registered drug users in Malaysia. But that's the tip of the iceberg.
Bear in mind that some local studies suggest that for every registered drug user, there are three to four who are unregistered. This could mean that there are more than a million drug users in the country.
Of the registered drug users, 79% are aged 19 to 39, 16% more than 40 years, and 5% aged 13 to 18. Notwithstanding the reported reduction in the number of registered drug users in the last two years, the health challenges remain considerable.
Drug users are at high risk for tuberculosis (TB). They have been the drivers of TB epidemics in many countries. This is especially so with injection drug users (IDUs) as they have a higher prevalence of latent TB (LTB) and active TB.
Physiological and environmental factors, as well as the risk behaviours of drug users, may all contribute to the increased prevalence of TB among them.
There are frequent associations between drug use and environmental factors, including tobacco smoking, alcohol abuse, social disadvantages and incarceration, which increase the risk of TB.
These factors may contribute to poorer outcomes – drug users are more likely to be infectious, to take longer to achieve a cure for TB, and to be at increased risk of death.
The increased prevalence of LTB and longer periods of infectivity in drug users may be responsible for the increased rates of TB transmission among them.
Immunosuppression due to human immunodeficiency viral (HIV) infection is the most important reason for the high TB incidence, especially among IDUs. It is commonly reported that there is a high prevalence of TB co-infection among HIV-positive IDUs, particularly in prisoners.
TB is the most common opportunistic infection in IDUs, even in areas where there is a low prevalence of TB. The risk of TB in IDUs peaks several years after the infection with HIV. As such, the time immediately after a diagnosis of HIV infection is made is an opportunity for TB prevention and/or treatment.
The identification and treatment of TB among drug users are crucial in controlling the disease, which has seen a resurgence in Malaysia. Its incidence increased from 64.7 per 100,000 in the population in 2000 to 71.35 per 100,000 population in 2011. The number of reported TB cases increased from 15,875 in 2005 to 20,666 in 2011.
The hopes of health professionals that TB would finally be controlled after the successes of 1970 to 2000 have all but disappeared.
The prevalence of both LTB and active TB in drug users in Malaysia was unknown until recently. Haider Abdulrazzaq Abed Al-Darraji, Adeeba Kamarulzaman et al reported in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment the prevalence and correlation of LTB among attendees at a voluntary drug treatment centre in Sungei Besi, Kuala Lumpur, using a standardised questionnaire and tuberculin skin testing (TST), which is the standard method of diagnosing TB.
Of the 196 attendees, who were mostly men (95%), under 40 years of age, and of whom 75% reported heroin use immediately before treatment entry, the positive TST prevalence was 86.7%, i.e. 170 out of 196 had TB!
Nine (4.6%) participants were HIV-infected. There was a significant association between TST positivity and previous arrest/incarcerations and not being HIV-infected.
The high prevalence of TB in the study group was attributed to the fact that "correctional settings are highly conducive to TB transmission given poor ventilation, lack of routine TB screening, inadequate access to health services and the concentration of people with risk factors for progression to active TB disease (HIV infection, people who use drugs, and low socio-economic background)".
Taken together, these factors create the "perfect storm" for facilitating TB transmission and causing a high prevalence of TB (estimated to be 100 times higher compared to the general population) in these settings (World Health Organization, 2000).
The researchers concluded that "there is an urgent need to establish TB screening and treatment programmes in substance abuse treatment centres and to tailor service delivery to the complex treatment needs of patients with multiple medical and psychiatric co-morbidities".
Drug users present a unique set of challenges for TB diagnosis and control. New diagnostic methods, which have the potential for improved diagnosis and surveillance, as well as proven treatment strategies that include direct observed therapy with treatment for drug abuse are recommended by the experts.
This would include clinical attention to co-infection with viral hepatitis and drug interactions.
The question is will policymakers act on Haider Abdulrazzaq Abed Al-Darraji, Adeeba Kamarulzaman et al's findings, and if they do, how vigorous the efforts will be.

To mark IDC Herzliya's 20th anniversary, we spent a day following Prof. Uriel Reichman, IDC's founder and president, and Jonathan Davis, VP for External Relations, around its delightful campus.
Whistleblower Edward Snowden told German news magazine Der Spiegel that Israel and the United States created the Stuxnet computer virus that destroyed nuclear centrifuges in Iran.
Snowden answered encrypted questions sent by security software developer Jacob Appelbaum and documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras. Excerpts of the interview were published Monday on the Spiegel website.
Snowden was asked if the U.S. National Security Agency partners "with other nations, like Israel?" He responded that the NSA has a "massive body" responsible for such partnerships called the Foreign Affairs Directorate.
He also was asked, "Did the NSA help to create Stuxnet?" Snowden responded, "NSA and Israel co-wrote it."
In 2010, Stuxnet wrought havoc on equipment at Iran's Natanz nuclear plant and complicated the manufacture of highly enriched uranium, which the West suspects is intended for making atomic weapons. The virus temporarily disabled 1,000 centrifuges being used by the Iranians to enrich uranium.
Snowden, a former technical contractor for the NSA and CIA employee now in hiding, said Germany and most other Western nations are "in bed together" with the NSA.
Snowden said a private citizen would be targeted by the NSA based on Facebook or webmail content.
"The only one I personally know of that might get you hit untargeted are jihadi forums," he said.

As if this were a surprise!
Is stuxnet just the tip of the iceberg? Will computer know-how play the same role Ultra played in the Second World War? Let's hope so. Is the ingenuity, innovation and chutzpah that made the Israeli computer revolution possible now being utilized to counter the Iranian threat? Apparently.
There is a difference. The scientific and technological achievement of both sides during Word War II was comparable. Britain had the radar and Alan Turing, the Americans the Manhattan project. The Germans had Karl Zuse, who invented the first electro-mechanical computer and Wernher von Braun. Today the difference is between a country (or countries) that virtually invented the technology and one that is still leaning how to use it. Let's hope that this difference will prove crucial.

The Kickdrums - Thieves In The Choir
Artist: The Kickdrums
Featuring: Casey Veggies
Producer: The Kickdrums
Album: Follow The Leaders
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 13 votes )
Don't look now, but The Kickdrums are quietly becoming one of the more daring producers in the game. Well, actually, there's really nothing quiet about them. In fact, as we heard on their previous release Want My Blood, the Cleveland duo seem physically addicted to volume. New release Thieves in the Choir, however, takes a much more mellow but no less creatively adventurous approach to blending hip-hop and rock. On this self-producer offering The Kickdrums seamlessly blend an echoing guitar line with a deep horn sample, giving the cut a relaxed but secretly menacing vibe, a vibe that's echoed in distorted, lightly dark vocals and a haunting chorus. It's exactly the type of cut that cries out for a verse from a rapper and L.A. fast riser Casey Veggies answers the call to action, revealing that despite some serious obstacles Veggies is as dedicated as ever to rising above the fray. Between this and Blood I couldn't begin to guess what The Kickdrums upcoming mixtape, Follow the Leaders, will sound like when it drops, and that's exactly why I'll be sure to take a listen.

Naruto: Shattered Mirror Ch13Far away from Konoha, Jiraiya was giving Hinata some lessons. Right now he was having her stand on water while making a long tree branch hover above her hands, which were held as high over her head as she could reach. The purpose of this exercise was to get an idea of her chakra control and levels.'Summoning Gamabunta like that was not normal. So how did she do it? What's her secret?' He asked himself as he watched her perform this task almost effortlessly for the past twenty minutes. The only reason Naruto had been able to summon the giant toad, was because he was the host for the Kyuubi, so that gave him a nearly unlimited chakra reserve.Jiraiya took the opportunity to perform a sensory jutsu that would enable him to briefly 'see' the chakra aura each ninja radiated. It was used primarily to give one an idea of how limited their jutsu usage was and their overall health, but not their element. He had waited to use this because he initially thought she wouldn't have lasted this long

Potato yields need to make a stepped increase to cope with global demand, declared Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) chief scientist Prof Ian Crute at the UK's Potato Council's West Midlands Potato Day on June 8.
Closing the yield gap by translating science into practice is the only way forward, he said at the event, held at Weston-under-Lizard in Staffordshire.
Potatoes are a challenging but globally important crop, he observed, pointing out the recent interest China has taken in them as they are more productive than rice.
However, producers must monitor the sustainability of their businesses, making trade-offs between issues such as biodiversity and greenhouse gas emissions, if necessary.
"There is still a yield increase to be gained from production methods," he declared. "Genetic modification (GM) potatoes are making a huge difference globally, but it is not only GM that can make a difference. In the potato we must ensure we find the most efficient way to convert solar energy into food."

New Queen album to feature Freddie Mercury's vocals
May 27, 2014 - 14:02 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - There will be a new Queen album with some previously unheard songs featuring Freddie Mercury's vocals. Guitarist Brian May revealed in a new interview that "Queen Forever" will be out next year, AceShowbiz said.
"We found a few more tracks with Freddie singing and all of us playing and they are quite beautiful," May told BBC Wales' radio host Wynne Evans. "It is a compilation but will have this material that nobody in the world has ever heard. I think people will really enjoy it."
May said the tentatively-titled "Queen Forever" album would be released towards the end of the year. Speaking of details, he said, "Most of it comes from the '80s when we were in full flight. It is quite emotional. It is the big, big ballads and the big, big epic sound." Mercury died in November 1991.
"It wouldn't have been if we hadn't have done this restoration job," May continued. "We had to start from scratch because we only had scraps. But knowing how it would have happened if we had finished it, I can sit there and make it happen with modern technology."
The band will embark on a full North American tour for the first time in a decade this June in Chicago. "American Idol" alum Adam Lambert fills in the vocal. "Adam Lambert is an independent artist. It fits us perfectly, because he is so theatrical, a true diva. Freddie would love him," Queen's drummer Roger Taylor told Germany's Bluewin.

Fall 2012
Michael Bastian
February 13, 2012
Location: New York
The Vibe for Fall 2012
Lions in Winter—that was the mode of Michael Bastian's latest collection. Models varying in age and degree of facial hair sported fusty-cool updates on American classics—a lean, tan pinstriped suit over a gingham shirt; popped collar plaid underneath country cardigans; even a pair of pajamas right out of the Hefner handbook. These were the clothes of luxurious men, unafraid to draw attention without violating good taste.

Oregon issues statement regarding investigation involving Damyean Dotson
May 6, 2014, 6:30 PM EST
On Monday night, a police report from the Eugene Police Department, obtained by The Oregonian, revealed that guard Damyean Dotson has been investigated for an alleged forcible rape that occurred in March. Teammates, Dominic Artis and Brandon Austin, were both named in the report.
However, Dotson was not charged due to lack of evidence, according to the Lane County District Attorney. On Tuesday afternoon, the University of Oregon issued a joint statement from Robin Holmes, the vice president of student affairs and Rob Mullens, the athletic director:
The University of Oregon takes all student misconduct that threatens the safety of our students very seriously. We have a clear obligation and responsibility to act in a way that protects all members of our campus community, and our first priority is always to ensure the safety and support of our students.
Questions have arisen regarding the timeliness of the university's involvement in the matter reported about University of Oregon basketball. Law enforcement agencies often request that the university wait to take action in order to avoid interference with an open criminal investigation. We responded accordingly in this situation. In all cases we begin investigating immediately, and aggressively address situations in accordance with the law, our internal code of conduct, and our commitment and obligation to protect and support our students.
Earlier on Monday, Artis had announced he would transfer following two seasons with the team. Hours later, the university announced that Austin, a transfer from Providence College who has yet to play a collegiate game, and Dotson were no longer with the program.
Dotson and his teammates may not have been prosecuted, but punishments from Dana Altman and the school have already been put into place, beginning with suspensions, and depending on what else the university discovers, those consequences can and will intensify.

Musculoskeletal disorders, MSDs – Upper Extremity MSDs – Low-Back MSDs 2. Nerve disorders 3. Neuro-vascular disorders 10 Cumulative Trauma Disorders • Musculoskeletal disorders, MSDs – Tendinitis • Inflammation of the tendon – Tenosynovitis • Inflammation of the tendon sheath – Ganglionic cysts • Fluid-filled swelling, usually on the hand or foot • "Bible Bumps" – Epicondylitis • Inflammation of the tendon attachment at the elbow • "Golfer's elbow", "Tennis elbow" 11 Cumulative Trauma Disorders • Nerve disorders – Carpal tunnel syndrome • Compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel of the wrist • Tingling and numbness of the thumb and first three fingers 12 Cumulative Trauma Disorders • Neuro-vascular disorders – Thoracic outlet syndrome • Compression of shoulder nerves and veins – Arm pain, numbness, or impaired circulation to the extremities – Raynaud's phenomenon • "Vibration white finger" – Contact stresses (corners, edges, handles, etc.) 13 Acute injuries • Acute strains, sprains, and pulls – These "acute" incidents may actually be result of cumulative damage – Back injuries account for 20% of occupational injuries and illness, for a cost of 20 to 50 billion dollars per year. – 5 of 6 people injure 14 backs by age 85 Acute injuries • Many minor back injuries are muscle strains – These generally respond to rest and anti-inflammatory drugs • Disk damage is a severe injury – May result in long-term disability, surgery, etc 15 Ergonomic risk factors • Main risk factors 1. Force 2. Repetition/Duration 3. Posture 4. Contact trauma • Efforts to control ergonomic risk focus on these factors – Other factors also are involved • Environmental, personal 16 Evaluation tools • Ergonomists have a number of "tools" to evaluate work situations – NIOSH Revised Lifting Equation – Ohio Lifting Guidelines – Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) – And many more 17 Evaluation tools • Online resources – OSHA e-tool for computer workstations • http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/computerworkstations/i ndex.html – Analysis Tools for Ergonomists (Thomas E. Bernard, U of S Florida) • http://personal.health.usf.edu/tbernard/ergotools/index.ht ml – Washington State "WISHA" Ergonomics tools • http://www.lni.wa.gov/Safety/Topics/Ergonomics/Service sResources/Tools/default.asp 18 Controlling Ergonomic Hazards • Recommendations – Perform job screening • Monitor ergonomic injuries • Identify high-risk jobs – Perform job analysis • Ergonomic evaluation tools – Prioritize and implement controls • Controls emphasize risk factors: – Force, Repetition/Duration, Posture, Contact 19 Controlling Ergonomic Hazards • Control examples (hierarchy of controls) – Substitution – Engineering controls • Workstation layout, improved tools – Administrative controls –Job rules »Avoid "piece work" and incentives that increase risk –Worker rotation –Training, etc. – PPE 20 Controlling Ergonomic Hazards • Examples – Improved hand tool design • Increased grip diameter • Tools that allow "neutral" joint posture – Padded or high-friction gloves – Adjustable benches Pliers Adjustable 21 work bench Scissors Controlling Ergonomic Hazards • Examples: – Office ergonomics • Padded wrist rests • Adjustable chairs • Foot rests (for short people) • "Ergonomic" keyboards 22 Controlling Ergonomic Hazards • Examples: – Lifting • Adjustable height pallets • Vacuum lifting devices 23 Anthropometry • Anthropometry is the science of measuring the human body and incorporating this information into designs. • The enormous variation between people can present challenges for designers. • Designers must decide if they will: – Design for the extreme – Design for the average – Design for adjustability • Recommended: – Design for 5% female to 95% male 24 Anthropometry Body segment lengths expressed as proportion of body stature, useful for workplace design. 25 Anthropometry example: What is the elbow height of the average 6-foot tall worker? Elbow = 0.630→ 72 inches x 0.630 = 45.4 inches 26 Ergonomics and OSHA • Congress overruled OSHA's new ergonomic standard in 2000 – Now, ergonomic hazards are cited under the "General Duty Clause" – OSHA is expected to push for a new ergonomics rule under the Obama administration • OSHA has provided much online information – Ergonomics web page • http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/ergonomics/index.html – Ergonomic e-tools • http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/ergonomics/outreach.html#etools – Etc. 27 Ergonomics and Workers Compensation • Cases are carefully reviewed • Generally require a period of exposure time to treat it as a chronic injury (e.g. can't claim carpal tunnel after a week on the job) • Your workers compensation company is a resource to help analyze problem and recommend solutions 28 Conclusions • Ergonomics deals with humans and the work environment • Human factors problems can lead to errors and accidents • Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs) include MSDs, nerve, and neuro-vascular disorders • "Acute" injuries may be caused by cumulative damage • Ergonomists use evaluation tools to asses hazards • Ergonomic hazards are controlled by designing the task to match the human capabilities • OSHA currently does not have an ergonomics standard • Deal with these issues early to minimize them Acknowledgement • Much of this presentation is based on material provided by Don Bloswick, PhD, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Utah, http://www.mech.utah.edu/people/faculty/bloswick.html. 30
