Children will enjoy the hotel's childrens freshwater pool and and the beach with it's long sandy beach.
Cots, highchairs and early children's dinner (on request) are offered free of charge.
The resort goes to great lengths to put security measures in place to ensure the safety of all guests. However, we request that you keep a constant check on your children whenever they are not participating in an organized activity, especially around the swimming pools and on the beach.
As children can become disoriented in new surroundings, we suggest that you teach them your room number and, in the event that they are lost, they should contact any member of staff wearing a name badge.
We recommend that children wear suitable footwear at all times when outside to avoid accidents involving sharp sea shells, stones, etc.

The backend part of your company supports these profit centers.
In addition, many of the words used started to take on slightly different meanings, depending
on the context in which they are used. It's probably some mix of the two, so I
have to give him props for not going too far in either direction.

The two warm-up comedians were terrific. Gary Gulman was fabulous..The venue worked against the performers. It is virtually impossible to do stand-up in a theater-in-the-round (or in this case, in the square) set-up, but the performers made the best of it. They were very clever about making comments about the traffic of the audience members who had to walk across the periphery of the stage to get to the bathrooms! I laughed all the way through.

Lets Talk Blinds - Live Chat
or Call Us
the only thing i would tell a friend is to make sure that you order the free color samples. I installed wood blinds in my dining room and the color was ok but i purchased honeycomb shades for my daughter's room and the color was not as nice as the computer showed. I will hang these blinds in my son's room since they are too dark for my daughters room.
I am so happy with my new blinds. Perfect size, perfect color, easy iinstall. Thanks selectblinds!
I've ordered these for my mom and dad's home. My dad measured, mom picked them out, and I ordered them. The deliver was quick and dad installed them with no problem. I just ordered the last of the blinds for their home. My aunt got blinds also, you know, gotta keep up with the 'Jones'"...she got hers from Home Depot and paid over 2 times more than my mom ! I hope to order blinds for my home next !
I loved the blinds but I think the people who answer your phones need to get a new job they were terrible not only did they screw up my order but I was forced into buying a new set of blinds because the other ones were lost in the mail. The people on the phone do not know how to talk to people.
These blinds are beautiful, great value! My neighbor installed them for me, kept commenting on how nice they were.

Randy OrtonRandall Keith Orton
- Birthdate: 04/01/1980 (age 34)
- Height: 6'5"
- Weight: 235 Ib
Randy Orton is a third-generation professional ...
-- WWE.com reported Thursday that company physician Dr. Michael Sampson examined Randy Orton and said he suffered a herniated disc on the L4-L5 level on the left side, which has resulted in pain and weakness down his leg.
"He's going to need some time off for rehab, anti-inflammatory medications and physical therapy," said Dr. Sampson.
In an update on this, his injury is legitimate. Orton had been complaining of the injury for two weeks which is why his physical workload was reduced prior to the injury angle shot at Tuesday's SmackDown taping in Indianapolis, Indiana. WWE.com says the injury could keep him sidelined for a few weeks or more depending on when test results come back.
It should also be noted that reports on several websites that Orton failed a wellness policy test are completely false.

Now let me get this straight.

Think about that for a minute. I dont think so. This is strictly about Jobs obsessive heavy boot control issues.

Caregivers are relied upon by both patients and medical professionals to bridge the gap between medical care and homelife. They may be needed to deliver medicines and medical care, ensure basic tasks of daily living, or monitor health. Caregivers are often close relatives without medical expertise, but they play an important role in overall wellness and disease management. Bipolar disorder is a psychiatric condition associated with episodes of mania and depression. Because of these potential mood swings, many people with bipolar disorder may require some degree of help or monitoring from a caregiver. Medicine and behavioral steps may also help protect against the onset of mania or depression. Since caregivers are so involved in patients' lives, it may be important for the caretaker to better understand bipolar disorder so they understand treatment and know the signs of worsening mood in the patient.
Researchers from Spain examined the impact on patients when caregivers attended groups that provided psychological support and bipolar education classes (psychoeducation). The study, published in Bipolar Disorder, found that psychoeducation for caregivers may decrease recurrence of mania or hypomania in patients.
This study was a randomized trial that included care-givers of 113 patients with bipolar disorder. The caregivers were randomized to psychoeducation classes or no intervention at all. The 12 classes were all 90 minutes long. The classes included information about bipolar disorder and coping skills. Patients' mood recurrence and number of hypomanic/manic recurrences were recorded over a 15-month period. Patients whose caregiver attended classes had:
A second analysis was performed on information from this trial after the trial was completed. The second analysis found that the benefits of caretaker education was greatest if the patient had stage 1 (mildest form) bipolar disorder . There was no significant difference in time to recurrence for patients with more severe types of bipolar disorder.
The design of this study is generally considered very reliable. One point of concern in this study design is something called attention control. The participants in the treatment group met with a professional and their fellow caretakers 12 times, but the control group did not have any meetings at all. Because of this difference, it is hard to determine if the specific treatment was effective or if the benefit simply came from regular meetings and support from others.
If you are caring for someone with bipolar disorder, look for support options. Ask those providing medical care if there are options to help you best care for someone with bipolar disease. There may also be local support groups and classes or online groups to connect you to others who take care of people with bipolar disorder. These groups may not only provide emotional but also practical support. As a caretaker, it is also important to make sure you have some help and downtime. Look for other family members or medical/social services that can provide you with relief when needed.

A quick post just to answer Happy's question: yes, the office is closed for the New Year, the Director of Marketing, HR, VP of Sales and Marketing and the CEO/President all communicated via email to work out the offer. Then they emailed the offer to me. I felt bad making them "work" on their 2 weeks off...but I'm glad they thought highly enough of me to do so and to make me a great offer.
Happy New Year to all my friends! I'm feeling very positive and optimistic about 2014. I wish us all great health and lots and lots of happiness.
I don't have any plans this evening, so I'll probably be back online.
Love and hugs,
Say it... shout it... believe it... "I AM GOING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!"...then DO IT!

Explore Asthma
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is strongly committed to supporting research aimed at preventing and treating heart, lung, and blood diseases and conditions and sleep disorders.
NHLBI-supported research has led to many advances in medical knowledge and care. For example, this research has uncovered some of the causes of chronic lung diseases, as well as ways to prevent and treat these diseases.
Many more questions remain about chronic lung diseases, including asthma. The NHLBI supports research to help improve the control of asthma and quality of life for people who have the disease. For example, the AsthmaNet is a clinical research network with ongoing studies of different asthma treatments in children and adults.
Much of this research depends on the willingness of volunteers to take part in clinical trials. Clinical trials test new ways to prevent, diagnose, or treat various diseases and conditions.
For example, new treatments for a disease or condition (such as medicines, medical devices, surgeries, or procedures) are tested in volunteers who have the illness. Testing shows whether a treatment is safe and effective in humans before it is made available for widespread use.
By taking part in a clinical trial, you may gain access to new treatments before they're widely available. You also will have the support of a team of health care providers, who will likely monitor your health closely. Even if you don't directly benefit from the results of a clinical trial, the information gathered can help others and add to scientific knowledge.
If you volunteer for a clinical trial, the research will be explained to you in detail. You'll learn about treatments and tests you may receive, and the benefits and risks they may pose. You'll also be given a chance to ask questions about the research. This process is called informed consent.
If you agree to take part in the trial, you'll be asked to sign an informed consent form. This form is not a contract. You have the right to withdraw from a study at any time, for any reason. Also, you have the right to learn about new risks or findings that emerge during the trial.
For more information about clinical trials related to asthma, talk with your doctor. You also can visit the following Web sites to learn more about clinical research and to search for clinical trials:

NHLBI Media Availability: Vitamin D supplementation does not reduce asthma treatment failure in people with low Vitamin D, but some benefits suggested.
Supplementing inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) with vitamin D does not reduce the rate of treatment failure in patients with asthma and vitamin D insufficiency, finds a new NIH-funded study. The Vitamin D Add-on Therapy Enhances Corticosteroid Responsiveness in Asthma (VIDA) trial randomized 408 adults with low vitamin D and mild/moderate asthma to receive the ICS ciclesonide supplemented with either high-dose vitamin D3 or placebo.

The Brooklyn Paper: String and tonic! Slopers teach boozy music lessons/
BY MAX JAEGER The Brooklyn Paper
Always wanted to learn a musical instrument, but held back by stage fright? Try a little liquid courage.
A pair of Park Slope music teachers are helping their adult students allay first-timer jitters by pairing beginner guitar and violin lessons with alcohol. Instead of starting lessons with scales or chords, string ticklers Pete Lanctot and Ginger Dolden kick off their Booze Violin and Booze Guitar group classes by pouring their pupils a drink or two.
"You have all these inhibitions when you first start, and it's really hard for people to relax," said Lanctot, a certified music teacher and faculty member at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music in Park Slope. "We figured if we tied in booze somehow would make a fun environment."
But the hooch is as much a social lubricant as a creative one, and serving drinks is also about helping students in a group class open up to one another, Dolden said.
"It's a lonely process if you're embarking on trying to play an instrument as an adult," she said. "Having a community is key if you're trying to started."
The duo teaches the liquored-up lessons to groups of 10–15 adults over an eight-week semester at their Navy Yard studio. The course culminates in a recital performance at a local music venue — in years past, the classes have performed at Littlefield and Shapeshifter Lab in Gowanus, Lanctot said.
When they're not rocking Brooklyn bars, Lanctot and Dolden also give private lessons. But they added three "booze" classes to their repertoire in 2013 to reach more people, they said. The lessons were such a hit, the duo is now accepting enrollments for three ginned-up guitar classes and eight vino-imbued violin classes this fall. Students can choose from weekday evening or weekend afternoon time slots for the one-hour sessions, and can bring their own axe or rent one.
A former violin student said the classes provided a comfortable environment for picking up what is often considered a tough-to-learn instrument.
"The group lessons are actually a lot of fun — there's not as much attention on you so you can relax a little," said past student Emily Gref, who lives in Kensington. "Of course, the drinks help with that."
Booze Violin and Booze Guitar courses run Sept. 20 to Nov. 13. Visit www.bantam-studios.com to sign up. $200.

Fort Greene Focus Q+A with Ginger Dolden/
Bantam Studios Introduces Year Two Of Booze Violin & Guitar Classes
You've probably heard of drink and draw events–but what about music classes? Ahead of Bantam Studios kicking off their second year of Booze Violin and Booze Guitar courses, we spoke to instructor Ginger Dolden about the Bantam crew's background in music and the neighborhood, plus misconceptions about adult learning, and why a "Booze" class might fulfill all your childhood dreams.
What are each of your respective musical backgrounds?
Pete and I are both classically trained violinists who studied music in college–Pete at Lehigh University, and me at the University of Minnesota. Both of us started playing violin as kids, Pete through Suzuki, and I just took traditional private lessons. Both of us play violin, viola, piano, and tenor guitar, and Pete plays guitar, tenor banjo, accordion, and mandolin as well.
As classical musicians, we've both played with orchestras across the country and internationally, but our primary focus now is on our own project, Pete Lanctot and the Stray Dogs. In addition to our band we play with jazz, folk and avant garde/experimental groups in Brooklyn.
How long have you been living/working in the area? What are some of your favorite places and things here?
I moved to Brooklyn in 2006 from Minneapolis and lived on Spencer and Myrtle, so I immediately was drawn into the Fort Greene/Clinton Hill area because at that time there wasn't much in my immediately surrounding neighborhood. It was amazing to see small businesses pop up and little restaurants and bars and clubs take off. Today we love being in this area for the cultural diversity and the proximity to such a burgeoning artist scene that is brewing in the Navy Yard.
Some of our favorite places are Brooklyn Roasting Company, Maggie Browns, Dough, Apple Art Supplies, Bergen Bagels–wow, this list is mostly food related!–and of course places likeBAM, Mark Morris, and Greenlight Bookstore. I really miss places like Bonita, Tillie's, and Ropethat were so present when I actually lived in the neighborhood.
How long ago did you start the studio? Why call it Bantam?
Bantam Studios was born in 2012 and we're still in our original location on Hall Street. We named the studio "Bantam Studios" after the breed of chicken because they're small and scrappy. From Wikipedia: "Old English bantam roosters were commonly used for fighting in Europe. They were smaller and faster than normal roosters used previously."
How did the Booze Violin idea come about?
Mostly it came about because we have often been approached by friends/parents of our young students/people who see us carrying violins about classes for adults. We occasionally got an adult student for private lessons but truthfully, the process of taking on an instrument as an adult is not only daunting but a very lonely and isolated path.
Booze Violin seemed like a good solution for that–having the drinks keeps the atmosphere casual and social, and the group setting is great for staying motivated.
We also ran our first session of Booze Guitar this spring, and we're so excited to continue with it this fall. Booze guitar is taught by Pete and an amazing guitarist named Adam Brisbin. Alsohowaboutwe offers a Booze Guitar date where couples can come in and try a group class once as a date!
How has the addition of adult beverages impacted your classes?
It's funny, the class title really sets the tone for a potential student. It lets them know that it's not going to be intense and scary but as I said before, social and fun. Violin has such a big stigma for being very difficult or unapproachable after childhood. A big part of the class is breaking down those notions and reminding everyone that music is fun, it's social, it's a way to express yourself, and it's for everyone. We find that just the presence of beer and wine is enough to relax the environment of our class and make it more social.
Describe what the very first class might be like.
The very first class is probably the most intense, but in a good way. We like to introduce ourselves, go over our backgrounds, and talk about why we started this class and how we've come to this point in our careers.
Then we go around the room and ask everyone to introduce themselves and talk about why they are interested in learning the violin as an adult. The responses that we get to that question are amazing… and mostly very sad! Most people are looking to fulfill some sort of childhood longing for learning the instrument and more often than not it was a financial constraint that prevented them from achieving this as a child.
A big part of our weekly class schedule is our listening portion. Every week we start the class playing the music of a violinist and we really try to pick violinists that started late in life or came to their career highlight in an unconventional way. For our more advanced students, we feature violinists that gig regularly and come through NYC so that they can have the opportunity to see live music as well.
After introductions and listening we talk through the parts of the violin–most of our students are renters–and we talk about the procedures of how to take care of the violin that will be theirs to take home with them for the next 8 weeks. Then we show them how to stand and hold the violin. It's pretty slow moving at first because physically, holding a violin uses many muscles in new ways and it takes a while to form the muscle memory and control.
Are there any misconceptions about learning an instrument as an adult?
There are so many misconceptions about learning an instrument as an adult, and usually it's that people won't be successful. People all learn very differently, we've found out. With our kids we can break information down into bite-sized bits and give it to them one at a time. Most kids are pretty okay with that, and when it's presented in a game form, often they don't know that they're actually learning.
Adults are so different. At this point in our lives, we've all developed how we learn things, and in most cases we all like to see the bigger picture first and then know the steps to attain it. Some adults learn very well aurally, but some definitely need visuals to complete their picture. We really have taken a lot of this into how we've developed our curriculum so that we can give bigger picture goals but still break it down into the bite-sized pieces without it seeming too tedious.
We spend about 4 weeks of the class just becoming acclimated with holding the instrument, and letting people know that what they're doing is okay! I think violins are often viewed as "precious," which they are, but they aren't as fragile as one would think! They're meant to be handled and played! Once we tear down that curtain, people start to open up and get used to the idea that they're able to try stuff out without breaking the instrument.
We don't expect anyone in our class to read music at first; Beginner I and Beginner II both learn their recital pieces by ear and demonstration, and just show and the musical notation and concepts along side. By Intermediate, we start putting the concepts together and have the students start reading music.
Lastly, we really try to emphasize that music is really part of our daily lives and can be fun and a form of expression. If you don't get to be as good as Joshua Bell, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy playing the violin. Even in our own projects and as side-man musicians we strongly believe that the right feel or vibe will trump perfection any day.
What's your ultimate goal or hope in teaching your Booze class students?
The greatest part of this class is that we're able to reach such a wide range of people and for many of them, we're helping them achieve something that they never thought would be possible and we want to continue to do that. We've structured the class to be inviting, fun, very inexpensive, and very accessible because we want to let everyone know that they can at least try to play the instrument and have an opportunity–for many it's their first–to perform in front of their friends or family.
We want to continue to spread the word that violin is a fun and beautiful instrument that can be played and enjoyed without years and years of training and that a lot of people start introducing music into their lives later on and just because it isn't already a part of you life doesn't mean that it can't be.
We've gotten so much more out of this first year than we could have ever expected. Last fall when we started with two sold out classes, we never thought we would be offering 11 this fall. I hope that we can continue to grow our community, which is just lovely! Our students are amazing people with amazing stories and experiences, and my personal goal is to foster that community and grow it as much as possible.

Defense Clamps Down On Chargers In 1st HalfPosted by on August 24, 2012 – 7:28 pm
The Vikings offense mustered just seven 1st downs and 102 net yards of offense in the opening two quarters of play on Friday night at Mall of America Field. But because of a stout performance from the first-team defense, the Vikings entered the locker room at halftime of their third preseason game trailing by just a FG – 6-3.
San Diego's offense has not fared much better than the Vikings group, picking up just five first downs and accumulating just 80 yards of offense on 34 snaps. QB Charlie Whitehurst, who started the game because San Diego chose to rest Philip Rivers (and plenty of other starters, too), has completed 7 of 16 attempts for 72 yards. The Chargers have gained 35 yards rushing on 14 carries and have converted just 2 of 9 third-down attempts.
Several Vikings defenders are standing out in the 1st half, including All-Pro DE Jared Allen. Last year's sack king has 2.0 tonight, and both LB Jasper Brinkley and DT Fred Evans have gotten to Whitehurst as well. LB Erin Henderson is having a solid game and S Jamarca Sanford has collected 4 tackles while starting alongside Harrison Smith.
San Diego will open the 2nd half with the ball, as both they and the Vikings first-team offense will look to turn things around in the 3rd quarter. The Vikings defense will look to keep things the same.

( And plenty of other starters, too ) So basically it was the Vikings 1st team against the Chargers 2nd team? I really don't think that's much to talk about. What an insult, let's throw our backups against the Vikings starters to see who is worth keeping. The worst part about is, WE STUNK! AWFUL! PLAYED LIKE POOH POOH, stunk up the stadium and even made my beer taste bad. The team should be ashamed of themselves from last nights showing. 1st team against 2nd team and that is the best they could do, GOD HELP US.

Starters against backups and who was the ones to go in to the locker room at the half with their tails stuck between their legs? Not the backups.
By Richard1A on Aug 25, 2012 | Reply
I think its smart, seeing what the back ups can do against starters. Then I would of liked to see if Ponder could of pulled the Vikes out of a whole! this is the same ol stuff, they need to try new stuff, this stale get us no where way has got to go. Seasons starting, they better think of something.

The defense played a solid game but our offense stunk up the joint! I am a huge fan and i bout fell asleep! Ponder needs to get this team in gear ASAP! If he dont put JWebb in. At least he is an exciting player that is fun to watch.Your not going to fall asleep watching an explosive player like Webb! CMON PONDER!! Get these guys fired up!

JE, can we please stop calling for Joe Webb to replace Ponder? I will grant he's an amazing athlete and we need to utilize him, but the guy isn't an NFL QB. What has he done in preseason going against 3rd and 4th string players? Nothing! What did he do before this season? Played one good game against Philly that meant nothing, that's it. Ponder isn't going to be Peyton Manning week in and week out, especially since going into his first year as a starter. The guy had no training camp last year and didn't get the preperation he needed as a rookie.
By JE on Aug 27, 2012 | Reply
Looking at the active roster it says that Joe Webb,#14 plays a position called QB. Ithink that stands for quarterback. If Joe Webb couldnt play it he would not be on the team as one!! You think he just won a roster spot on wheel of fortune.If JWebb could not play Speilman and the coaching staff would cut him. Joe Webb can and is a NFL QB. End of story!! O,and that does not mean i dont like Ponder. To many people just dont want to give JWebb any credit for the work that he has put in to make it in this league.

Are you eating a healthy diet? Are you exercising enough? Do you have a family history of heart disease? The way you answer those questions could impact your health.
In this week's Martha Jefferson's Healthwise report, you'll find out how to check your heart's health and whether your heart's age compares to your biological age.
You probably know old how you are, but have you ever thought about your heart's age? Depending on your family history and how well you take care of yourself, the two could be different.
Now Martha Jefferson Hospital is encouraging people to find out using the Heart Risk Profiler online.
"It's a way of calculating using statistical analysis a patient's risk of developing a future heart attack," said Dr. Tim Williams Cardiovascular Associates of Charlottesville
Dr. Williams says the program is quick and easy to use. All patients have to do is answer a few questions.
"There are lots of questions you would expect would be on the Heart Risk Profiler such as your age, your weight, if you've smoked, how much physical activity you get, your gender and other more specific things you can add if you have access to the information such as blood pressure, your resting glucose and other laboratory values such as your cholesterol," said Dr. Williams.
Based on your responses, the Heart Risk Profiler will determine if you are at low, moderate or high risk for having cardiovascular disease.
"So if you're 40, saying you have the body of a 55-year-old is a little more motivating than saying your risk of a heart attack is 3.2%. It's just a way of understanding things and putting them in a different light," said Dr. Williams.
Dr. Williams says knowing you're heart's age is important.
"If you know your risk ahead of time you can make changes," said Dr. Williams.
With the click of a mouse, the Heart Risk Profiler can help you get information about your heart that could help to save your life.
Dr. Williams says eating a healthy diet and exercising are the best ways to achieve a healthy heart.

NIH/FDA/DOD Interagency Working Group on Oxygen Therapeutics
July 26, 2011 at MGH, Harvard
I. Introduction
Research and development in the field of oxygen therapeutics has made substantial progress in the past two decades. However, significant challenges have been encountered, as highlighted at an NIH/FDA/HHS workshop in 2008.1,2 The combination of challenges, negative perceptions, and current difficulties in obtaining adequate funding for continued research and product evaluation led the NIH/FDA/DOD to convene a working group of experts to examine the future of oxygen therapeutics in Boston in July 2011. The group examined the medical needs for oxygen therapeutics and outlined the basic and applied research needed to continue drug development for these clinical applications. This document summarizes the opinions of the working group.
II. Need:
The Working Group's consensus is that there is a substantial unmet medical need for oxygen therapeutics and that lives could be saved if safe products were available. Oxygen carriers would be particularly valuable for patients in one or more of the categories discussed below: (a) "bridge to transfusion"; (b) alternative to red blood cell transfusion; (c) novel opportunities where red blood cell transfusion is not an established therapy.
A. "Bridge to red blood cell transfusion:"
This is an area where red blood cell transfusion is indicated and will remain necessary, but compatible red blood cells are not available in a timely manner. Examples are: (a) pre-hospital use in remote areas; (b) military in-theater use with long evacuation times, or complete unavailability of red cells; (c) patients who are difficult to cross-match and require red cells before a satisfactory cross match can be established and compatible units identified; (d) patients with rare blood types awaiting arrival of a compatible unit available from a distant location; (e) mass casualties.
B. Alternative to red blood cell transfusion:
This category is identified for use similar to red cell use, but when red cells cannot be used or when an oxygen therapeutic could be more satisfactory: (a) patient refusal to accept red cell transfusion (e.g. religious objection); (b) massive transfusion, to conserve the stored red cell resource, transfusing red cells only after hemostasis has been established; (c) treating anemic patients, who are transfused repetitively over a substantial period of time, in order to diminish immunological sensitization (e.g. sickle cell disease, thalassemia); (d) developing countries where red cell availability for transfusion is exceedingly limited or not available. In these regions no blood banking system may exist or the blood bank may have poor quality control (e.g. high viral infection rate).
C. Novel opportunities where red cell transfusion is not an established therapy:
III. Animal Models of Toxicity:
Although current generation HBOCs were tested in a large number of well-defined animal studies, including models of hemorrhagic shock and anemia in normal animals, clinical trials with these products have been noted to have side effects that were not predicted by pre-clinical tests.1,2 Examples of these serious adverse effects included excess morbidity, cardiac mortality, and pancreatitis, which were often associated with pre-existing conditions.1,2 Consequently, the interagency working group strongly recommends that better animal models of various human disease states are needed to evaluate potential toxicity of oxygen therapeutics either as individual molecules or as a class of compounds (it should not be assumed that a particular side effect is associated with the entire class of compounds). The group believes that in the future, both as individual drugs, and classes of drugs, oxygen therapeutics should be evaluated in the presence of common clinical conditions. The working group believes two important and common disease pathways, endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress, may have contributed to serious adverse events in prior clinical HBOC trials.
A. Models of endothelial dysfunction.
It has been known for decades that free hemoglobin avidly scavenges nitric oxide (NO). In the late 1990s, the HBOC field recognized that dioxygenation of NO by oxyhemoglobin was the major underlying cause of the rapid increase in blood pressure in animals and patients after administration of acellular hemoglobin. Major efforts were made to reduce the rate of this reaction by site-directed mutagenesis3 or by reducing in vivo extravasation by increasing HBOC molecular weight.4-7 It became clear that the vasoconstrictor and hypertensive effects of acellular hemoglobins and HBOCs,1,2 and gastro-intestinal symptoms in conscious humans8 are due to scavenging NO, and that these side effects were potentiated in animals with endothelial dysfunction. Possible dysfunction models include mice fed a high fat diet for 6 weeks,9 diabetic mice (db/db),9 or lambs with partial inhibition of NO synthesis by chemical blockade.10 In addition to regulating vascular tone, excess plasma hemoglobin may produce inflammation and platelet activation.11,12. Thus, the working group strongly advocates that HBOCs be studied in animal models of endothelial dysfunction to search for pulmonary and systemic vasoconstriction, and alterations of coagulation (including platelet activation), and inflammation. Coronary occlusion and pro-coagulant models, some of which have been studied for the effects of NO supplementation, could also be used to test the safety (also an area of potential therapeutic efficacy) of these molecules in diseased states.13 Effects of oxygen therapeutics on other pathways influencing endothelial-blood interactions, vascular reactivity and inflammation/platelet activation should be evaluated.
B. Models of oxidative stress.
Auto-oxidation of HBOCs causes the release of superoxide, which in turn rapidly dismutates to hydrogen peroxide and reacts with the newly formed methemoglobin to produce destructive protein-based radicals. All of these reactive oxygen species (ROS) are capable of producing tissue injury through lipid oxidation and protein degradation. This oxidative stress may be compounded by vasoconstriction and stimulate inflammatory responses, including the release of additional endogenous oxidant molecules. Methemoglobin itself is relatively unstable and rapidly loses heme. Free heme in turn can generate more ROS and, if present in high amounts, leads to iron overload pathology. Therefore physiological models examining oxidant stress, especially in animals without sufficient capacity for the production of anti-oxidants should be examined. There are a number of such animal models, including those that lack the ability to produce reducing molecules, such as ascorbic acid (e.g., guinea pigs, unlike most rodents, lack the ability to synthesize ascorbate).14,15 Other models for study include knockout mice without ascorbate synthesis.16
Perfluorocarbon-based oxygen carriers are molecularly distinct from HBOCs, and have different pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and biologic activities. Thus, they may need to be studied in different animal models. Perfluorocarbons have high solubility for many gases, including oxygen. Further work on the basic mechanisms of oxygen delivery and alterations of NO signaling with perfluorocarbons would be beneficial. Animal models should include those mimicking common human diseases that might be expected in patients receiving these novel molecules. Studies of the effects of perfluorocarbons on microvascular and endothelial cell biology should be included in their development plans. Potential therapeutic areas for PFCs that might not pertain to HBOCs owing to the physical properties of PFCs include treatment of gas embolism and decompression sickness. Research should include efforts to understand the mechanism by which PFCs induce transient thrombocytopenia.
IV. Developing New Hemoglobin-based Oxygen Transporting Materials:
Safety concerns have been identified in preclinical and clinical testing of HBOCs1,2 suggesting that further development of HBOCs and/or improved formulations are needed. We anticipate that studies in the additional animal models described above will help to identify further improvements in HBOC engineering and/or improved formulations and additives.
A. Further engineering of HBOCs: The study group recommends further research to develop entities designed to:
B. Improved formulations and additives:
The committee recommends further research to define any potential benefit for HBOC prototypes that may include entities that:
V. Improved understanding of the effect of the Oxygen Therapeutics on tissue PO2.
Optimal development and evaluation of novel oxygen therapeutics requires improved methods to measure in vivo the PO2 in vital tissues and organs in both animal models and humans. Such advances would provide the parameter of most importance to the therapeutic goal of administering oxygen therapeutics.

Get Free Tech Books!
Join the DZone Review Team to share your opinion and expertise through published book reviews and Refcardz review discussions. You'll get free tech books and early access to Refcardz.
|This review is based on an incomplete early access version of the book, which had only the first three out of nine chapters available. I think some of the most interesting chapters will fall into the six that are still in the works. Do not read this book if you already read The Art of Unit Testing with Examples in .NET because this is almost an exact word-by-word copy. The only difference is that the .NET and NUnit examples are replaced by Java and JUnit, respectively. The available chapters are simple, filled with good detail, and offer a great introduction into unit testing.
The aim of this book is to give an introduction to Java developers who have little or no experience with unit testing. The author does a sound job of covering the basic principals of unit testing. The pretension also seems to be to answer why unit testing is necessary and how it is integrated into teams and projects. The author clearly aims to see beyond the backyard.
This book would be helpful for introducing unit testing practices to teams and projects that are not yet using unit testing. Experienced developers could do without part 1 and 2 (the first 5 chapters) of this book. Based on the table of contents, they would only benefit from part 3 and the appendices, since that is where there will be any advanced coverage.
Other unit testing frameworks that are very relevant to Java development are not mentioned in these first three chapters and it is unclear to me whether or not they will be covered. Here is table of contents from the book's website:

An Interview with Lisa Loeb, Who Performs Old and New Hits at Infinity Hall
Ever since breaking onto the pop scene with her 1994 hit, "Stay (I Missed You)," Loeb has spent the past decade maintaining an eclectic and evolving list of career moves. Movie roles? Check. Cartoon voiceovers? Check. Outreach project aimed toward helping kids? Yep. Reality show? Two of them. Eyewear fashion line? Of course.
Far from being overworked and overbooked, Loeb, now 43, insists in a recent phone interview last week, "I've been following my heart and doing lots of different projects based on what I love to do. There are a lot of projects happening, but luckily they all fit together in a complex little puzzle and support each other."
Luckily for fans, her heart is still very much musically inclined. With "Stay," Loeb became the only musician to have a No. 1 song on the Billboard 100 chart before being signed to a major label; a total of five full-length albums followed. Despite a long career, Loeb maintains that she's still the same artist. "It always comes back to songs with lyrics," she says, "Sometimes they're more poetic, sometimes they're more straightforward. I was practicing the other day, playing some songs that aren't out yet and some that I wrote in college. They felt like the same body of work. I'm not one of those people who totally reinvents myself."
She is also not someone who shies away from a challenge, or a new form of music. Loeb explains, "I had an opportunity to make a kid's record, Catch the Moon, and there were a lot of kids and parents asking me about a follow-up album. I ended up making a Camp Lisa record and starting a Camp Lisa Foundation to send kids to summer camp. That led to a theater company in Miami asking if we would write a musical based on Camp Lisa." Camp Kappawanna opened in Miami last summer, with a new version on stage this summer.
Loeb embraced the world of children's entertainment and a book, Silly Sing-Along: The Disappointing Pancake and Other Zany Songs, a collection of songs and activities, coming out in October. "They're activities you can do in your car, at the kitchen table." Loeb says, "It's getting back to simpler times, which is nice. It's fun because it takes kids and families away from the computer and into each other's company."
But of course, Loeb has not left her grownup fans behind. She is working on another "grownup record" and touring select venues on the East Coast this summer, plus special Stage-It online shows she'll be performing from her kitchen. She says, "I'm going to be playing some new songs, some older songs, lots of requests from fans. I've gotten used to doing a show where I'll hold your hand and take you through it. So if you don't know my music, I think you'll be at ease. And if you do know my music, you'll be happy to hear some old and new songs."
And even if you only know her No. 1 hit, don't worry — Loeb still has a deep amount of gratitude for the song that launched her career. "I love playing it. I think it connects people to me and me to them, and it reminds them of a certain time in their lives," Loeb says, "I'm also a music fan. I don't really want to go see a band play a whole set of new songs. As a musician, it's fun to play all the new songs and try to show them off, but as an audience member, you really want to hear songs that you're familiar with, so I try to respect that."
