Toyota Motor Corp. (7203), which retook the global auto-sales lead in 2012's first half, climbed the most in more than three years after reporting quarterly profit that beat analysts' estimates and raising its sales target.
The company's American depositary receipts (TM:US) rose 5.2 percent to $81.06 at the close in New York, the biggest increase since April 2, 2009. They have gained 23 percent this year, the most among shares and ADRs of automakers traded in the U.S.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30 was 290.3 billion yen ($3.7 billion), 14 percent higher than the average of seven analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. That was double the $1.85 billion General Motors Co. (GM:US) reported yesterday.
Toyota may regain its global sales title for the year from GM and Volkswagen AG (VOW), based on its revised goal. The Toyota City, Japan-based company, which fell to third last year, now expects sales to rise 23 percent to a record 9.76 million vehicles in 2012. The target, which Toyota announced today in Tokyo, was increased from 9.58 million, including deliveries for its Daihatsu Motor Co. (7262) and Hino Motors Ltd. (7205) units.
"Toyota's got a fair lead, and it's going to be a tough act for the others to make up for it in the second half," Ashvin Chotai, London-based managing director at Intelligence Automotive Asia, said by telephone today.
Toyota rose 0.7 percent to 3,065 yen at the close in Tokyo, before the earnings announcement. That extended this year's gain to 19 percent. The company's U.S. sales unit is based in Torrance, California.

Looking for UT Deathmatch Map
I played a map years ago back in 1999-2000 that had a giant staircase like a mile up with sniper rifles and ammo at the top. There was a transporter at the bottom that transported you to the top of the staircase sniper area, right in the back of the sniper (the first person that made it to the top of the staircase), we would race eachother to the top to be the first one up so we can do "headshots" on everyone else trying to get up.
Does anyone know the name of that map or have a link to where i can download it? Thanks. Jason firstname.lastname@example.com |

The only thing I can think of is DM-Falkenstein, but probably not the one. It has a tower with a very high staircase and it's a huge map.

The political attack ad has become a modern fixture in the election cycle, and 'Attack Ads, Circa 1800' by Reason kicks this meme old-school style. The video infuses actual quotes presidential candidates used to talk smack on their opponents into a modern TV commercial.
The next time you don't agree with someone's political views, just call them a "hatchet-faced nutmeg dealer," as Stephen Douglas called Abraham Lincoln.

I have found someone locally selling a Socom II for under $800. He is claiming that only 20 round have been fired through it. This sounds to good to be true. What would you do? Cuz that price... Is a steal!
If guns kill people, mine are defective.

If it really is an M1A Socom, BUY IT! Even if something is wrong with it i bet the cost of replacement parts + the $800 will still be under the cost that most are going for.
The seller claims it is used but in 99% condition. I'll have to look at it before buying but I don't know what to look for as far as working parts wise.
The only cons I can think of are: For its size it's kinda heavy. It has a short sight radius for an M1A. The front sight is kinda big and blocky. .308 is loud and overpowered for CQB plus ammo is pricey and heavy. Muzzle brake is loud. Even after that though, they are well made, tough, and fun to shoot.
Let's see: 1. Ergonomics - The M1A is still just a M1 rifle with detachable magazines with respect to ergonomics. 2. Balance - The accessory rail is heavy and makes the weapon overly muzzle heavy. You still can't mount magnifying optics without expensive cantilever optics mounts. 3. Iron sight / red dot sight co-witness (if you run it like a CQB .30 caliber rifle as it was designed). Apart from that, the M14 rifles and derivatives are generally pretty accurate, durable, and easy to operate. With the availability of the SCAR 17S, I would not spend money on any other .30 caliber battle rifle if ergonomics, balance, and optics co-witness were important to me. All other .30 caliber battle rifles have weight distribution that is less optimal than the .30 caliber SCAR series. I own a SA WWII M-1 rifle and I would not purchase or use any other .30 caliber rifle apart from the SCAR 17S. No other platform is as well-balanced, ergonomic, or otherwise "ready-to-run" as the SCAR.

How can I get great views of the Bugaboos (Canada) in April?
Thanks for the answer. I emailed BC Parks and their response was,"The upper access road will be snow covered until late May at the earliest and only accessible by snowmobile or by skiing in. It is common for large piles of avalanche debris consisting of a mixture of snow, rock, and logs to block the access road until early to mid-June." So it seems that beyond skiing, a gondola ride or helicopter is the only choice. |

Multi-Billion Dollar Production In Proximity To Signature Exploration's Koliba Prospect
HOUSTON, Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Signature Exploration and Production Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board : SXLP) today released information about the oil fields surrounding its Koliba Prospect in Victoria County, Texas.
The Placedo, Heyser, McFaddin, Hog Bayou and E. Sheriff fields, which are located in Victoria and Calhoun Counties of South East Texas, have produced approximately 159 million barrels of oil and 1.8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas according to the Texas Railroad Commission's records. Based on current prices of $77.12 Bbls of oil and $5.95 Mcf of gas, the cumulative production of crude oil and natural gas would be valued at approximately $22.8 billion.
"Multi-billion dollar oil and gas production within Victoria and Calhoun Counties makes the Koliba well (which is located in Victoria County) ideal for the Company and our stockholders," Steven Weldon, Chairman and CEO of Signature Exploration and Production Corp., stated. He concluded, "With the land surveys complete, we are moving forward on this exciting prospect which is set to drill in a few weeks."
About the Koliba Prospect:
The Koliba Prospect is a 173-acre lease located in the highly productive North McFaddin Field near Bloomington, Texas. The Company has identified 3 target zones at 5,880', 5,350', and 4,930', in the Frio Sands. The Koliba Prospect will be drilled 250 feet from an originally large producing well and is considered a low risk / high reward prospect due to its proximity to previous wells in the prolific Frio interval. Signature Exploration and Production Corp. Signature Exploration and Production Corp. is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, exploitation and acquisition of on-shore oil and natural gas properties in conventional producing areas along the gulf coast of Texas. Management's strategy is to continue making acquisitions of select properties that have been identified as economically attractive, technically and geologically sound and have significant upside potential.

If resources become scarce, the fuel needed to power travel and to support infrastructure may not be there. Travel may become hard.
A paper by Bailey et al. is here... http://arxiv.org/abs/1312.1265
The age is estimated from the primary star. Presumably the system formed all at the same time, star and planet together. (It's difficult to gain a planet in some other way, such as "capture," especially in such a short period of time since the star's birth.)
The planet's mass is estimated from the brightness and color of the planet. HD 106906 b is a rare case where the companion can be resolved from its primary so a spectrum can be measured. Known models of planet brightness can be used to work backwards from the brightness and color to get mass.
Distance is usually a hard one to solve, but in this case the star is bright and Hipparcos has a distance derived from parallax. A distance of 92 parsecs means that the annual parallax is 1/92 arcsec. For comparison the moon is 1800 parsecs in diameter.
The actual design of the building is beautiful and marvelous.
But I have to say that the entire design of the campus is a little disappointing. The buildings on campus are completely isolated from the rest of the city of Cupertino. The campus will be separated by a new security wall/fence surrounding the perimeter that will prevent all unauthorized entry, and most of the buildings will be hidden behind substantial landscaping. The plan also demolishes a city street that will disturb local automotive and bicycle routes.
Apple workers will get to appreciate the beauty of the architecture, and the calmness of the natural park-like setting, but the public will have to gaze from a distance.
I think Apple had a chance here to integrate the campus more closely with the city, and the city had an opportunity to ask for more of a community feeling than an ivory tower feeling. What if the park-like portions of the campus were an actual public park? The public could appreciate the architectural wonder and feel that the campus was at least a little bit a part of their city. What if the campus had more walking-friendly routes to and from the rest of the city, to encourage interaction between workers and local businesses? Facebook did this, by basically buying a little mini-city (http://mediagallery.usatoday.com/Inside+Facebook%27s+headquarters/G3949) which integrates work and life elements. You'd get a better city, quite frankly.
The real way to have stopped Snowden would be for the government to not be a privacy-destroying, dossier-collecting, network-infiltrating, security-inhibiting organization that spies on its own people.
Then Snowden wouldn't have had a reason to leak.
Not totally true. Shareholders can elect a new board.
According to Businessweek (http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-04-04/apples-campus-2-shapes-up-as-an-investor-relations-nightmare) the cost is $1500 per square foot, or about 3 times the cost of luxury downtown skyscraper space.
You ordered just one Protect?
Most fire codes require a smoke detector in each bedroom, each hallway outside a bedroom, and on every level, and sometimes near kitchens and bathrooms. If you have an efficiency apartment, I guess you only need one alarm, but most homes are going to need at least 3, maybe a lot more depending on number of bedrooms and layout. At $129 per device, that starts to add up cost quickly.
You keep saying "it's a capacitive scanner" like that's some magical technology. Skin is partially conductive and has capacitance. The same for the derma layers under the epidermis. If you can take a picture of someone's fingerprint pattern (epidermis), that will most likely reflect the dermis pattern underneath (which is where the "blood vessels" are).
AuthentTec's own PR slides show how this works. (http://www.zvetcobiometrics.com/Documents/Trueprinttechnology.ppt)
I'm convinced the advantage of AuthenTec's technology is not that it senses the pattern of blood vessels in your finger (other than the blood vessels indicate where the dermis is), but rather that the signals can penetrate the sapphire protection layer more easily, as well as the outer layers of scarred or abraded epidermis.
Yep. A briefing by the designing company, AuthenTec, found here,
shows that even though the sensing technology is different than static capacitance, it still basically reads your fingerprint pattern (see slide 12).
It probably does measure the blood vessels - the blood vessels within the derma portion of the skin that makes up your fingerprints.
Kickstarter is about putting your own money where your interests are. You wouldn't do otherwise because it's your money.
This IBM project is about putting fake money where your fake interests are, so the results will be fake.
In the scientific field I work in, the primary journals are owned and run by our (non-profit) professional societies. The journal expenses are transparently reported the society management and membership. There is no incentive for profit, but rather to have an excellent quality journal that will be preserved for posterity. Refereeing is done pro-bono by professional members. After a few years from publication, the journal issues become open access.
Even though it is a non-profit enterprise, it's still expensive: ~ US$ 100-200 per page for submitters and $500-$2000 for annual subscriptions. The quality pays for editorial services, copyediting and publishing.
You should be a little more careful. You're right that, in the "Samsung-Apple Licensing Discussion" document, Apple proposed $30 for handsets (and $40 for tablets).
The difference is that Apple offered a 20% "discount" if Samsung licensed back all of its patents. And another unspecified discount if Samsung stopped using certain foundational technology. So those additional Apple requests had some incentive for Samsung.
That being said, I think the royalty rate of $30-$40 is pretty outrageous. When the typical cost of *all* techonology licensing royalties for a mobile device is 5-10% of the device cost, (source "IP Finance"), Apple would propose to add on another 5-8% just for itself. People used to joke about the "Microsoft tax," and this is just the same: an "Apple tax." It's pretty clear that Apple had Samsung over a barrel. Either Samsung pays an exorbitant royalty, or it stops using the patented technology, or it loses a lawsuit. Any way they sliced it, Apple was set up to win.
So by your logic, any company can avoid an impending injuction by setting up shell companies, and selling them vast quantities of infringing product prior to an injunction going into effect?
If the shell companies are acting in concert with Samsung, then no.
Hopefully Caltech has a nice endowment that can help them operate GALEX, because it will not be cheap. Maybe they can help train students to be future satellite operators, and save costs that way.
I was involved in a recent decommissioning of a NASA satellite. We tried to look for a privitization route, but the private funds and the timing just didn't come together in time. Kudos to Caltech for putting this together for GALEX.

NEW DELHI: Secretary of state Hillary Clinton has promised to take up the issue of hike in visa charges with concerned authorities in the US in the light of protests by Indian software companies.
In a meeting with foreign minister S M Krishna on Monday, Clinton assured India that the US will try and "rectify" the decision. The US in 2010 announced a hike in work visa charges, including H 1B, apparently to meet the cost of securing its border with Mexico.
Even though the decision was not country-specific, top Indian software companies impacted by the decision alleged that they were being discriminated against leading to India taking up the matter diplomatically with the US. India has also been contemplating filing an appeal in the WTO against the move. "She has assured to take it up with the concerned and rectify," said an Indian official after the meeting.

Collard Green Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
I planted my first garden this past summer in a suburb near Chicago and although I lost 20 tomato plants to blight, I was able to harvest my collard greens up until December 1st! If I'm not blending the leaves into a green smoothie, I like to make this simple salad. To read more, visit www.greeneyedladies.com.
For Vinaigrette:
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon honey, agave, or maple syrup
1 heaping teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of cayenne (optional)
For Salad:
1 bunch collard greens, stripped from stems
1 avocado, sliced
½ cup red onion, sliced
¼ cup hemp seeds
¼ cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
¼ cup goji berries, raisins or other dried fruit
Roll collard leaves into a cylinder and slice very thin. Pour enough dressing on top of greens to saturate them, then gently massage leaves to make them more tender. Top with avocado, red onion, hemp and pumpkin seeds, and dried fruit. Mix. Add more dressing if needed. Enjoy!

HONDO ARMY AIR FIELD. HONDO, Tex., Feb. 19--Hundreds of youthful American navigation cadets after 13 weeks of rigid training pinned on their silver wings this week at commencement exercises at this huge combat training installation. Among them was Lt. Jack H. Glenn of Bay City. The impressive wing-pinning ceremony signified to the new navigators that now they are ready to do their part in obliterating the enemy. Most of the officers have left already to join the other members of the all-out bombing crew--gunner, bombardier and pilot. Some of the graduates will remain to instruct new cadets just entering navigation training. A few of the new graduates were officers before entering navigation training. Those who trained as cadets received not only their wings but also commissions as either flight officers or second lieutenants. The Daily Tribune,

A navigator on a B-24 bomber, Lieutenant Glenn had made many missions over Germany. His last letter, written July 5, was so cheerful that his parents inferred he had just returned from a successful mission. He has been in the service 17 months. His letter of July 5 stated that he had the task of mail censor and he was carrying out censorship rules on his own mail, that he would have to put off telling the interesting things he was experiencing until the victory was won.

Glenn, who was previously reported missing in action, was killed July 7, over Germany. The Secretary of War extends deep sympathy. Letter follows:" His parents received official information July 20 of his being missing. The telegram Friday was the first word they had received since that time. Jack Glenn was one of Bay City's most brilliant and popular young men. He was industrious, ambitious and his charming personality gained for him friends among all ages He was born in Tulsa, Okla., Aug 16, 1923. He came here with his parents when he was eight years old. A graduate of the Bay City High school of the class of 1940, he gained salutatory honors. Following high school he attended A. & M. one year before entering the air corps. He had been in the air corps 17 months and was a navigator on a B-24. Besides his parents, two sisters survive.

The morning service at the First Methodist Church Sunday was dedicated to the memory of Lt. Jack H. Glenn, son of Mr. and Mrs. V. C. Glenn, whose death over Germany occurred July 7, according to information received from the War Department. The altar flowers were white carnations in beautiful and profuse arrangements. A note on the special bulletin read: "The flowers on the altar and this bulletin are dedicated to the memory of Jack Glenn, who recently so gallantly gave his life in the service of his country. Jack came up through our Sunday School and Church, and was one of the finest young men we have ever known. The Christian character and practices he acquired in early life stayed with him, and wherever he was he continued to send back one-tenth of his income for the support of his church. We shall miss him but his memory will linger like a gracious benediction." In addition to other appropriate memorial tributes, Rev. Marvin S. Vance made announcement of the nature of the simple service of honor to Lieutenant Glenn, and the minister of music, William A. "Billy" Triggs, sang "Forward to Christ" by O'Hara. The Daily Tribune,

- Application Details
I applied through a recruiter – interviewed at Toshiba in May 2014.
Interview DetailsContacted by Two recruiters and the wait was a month. A friend was working there with the same position in 2011. Interview with a new hired manager and he was so cool and nice. Never even ask me about any technical question . I have 20 plus years experience. It seems that he was nice and a joker. I feel at home.
The second interviewer was a Director/Manager. He has been there for maybe 12 plus years. All he asked me was how do I monitor phone systems. I have been in this field for many years and knows not to give out my skills if company do not even have monitoring tools. Actually if they read this , Cisco comes with real-time monitoring tools. Figure it out your self sir.
I wear my nice suite with my shining shoes to impress but the interview wore a golf T-shirt. How exciting.
Not much technical question and I left with a great smile. I myself was so myself and friendly. I guess they do not like that.
Got information the follow day, I was not fit for the position. WOW!!!!
I think I know why. I asked the interview , how many people in the team and he said "you are looking at him"
One man operation an work your butt out. That maybe the reason my friend left and I thought I will be working with him. He also was gone.The previous engineer also got fired and I saw his profile in Linked that he was really a nice qualified engineer. He work his way up from UPS and got a degree and experience. Probably internal politics got him fired. He probably got sick working there.
Actually I do not want to travel to the dangerous Columbia (Bogota) and would turn down the job. I also do not plan to work over-time. I am debt free and do not need that much cash.
I guess they do not like my answer to my high goals in 5 years. I am not fit for the job so they said.Interview Questions- What do you want see in 5 to 7 years working in this company? View Answer

Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia
11 November 2007
The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia has been created by the United Nations and the government of Cambodia. Its purpose is to investigate and prosecute senior Khmer Rouge leaders and those who were most responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and some other crimes under national law that were committed during the period from 17 April 1975 to 6 January 1979.
The Extraordinary Chambers is located in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
In June 2007, the Extraordinary Chambers announced that five persons were initially under investigation.
Although Amnesty International fully supports the investigation and prosecution of the crimes, the organization expressed a number of concerns during the establishment of the Extraordinary Chambers.
In particular, the organization is concerned that the Extraordinary Chambers relies too heavily on the national judicial system in prosecuting the crimes on the basis that the Cambodian judicial system continues to be weak and subject to political pressures especially in high profile cases.
Amnesty International is campaigning for the Extraordinary Chambers, the national authorities of Cambodia and other countries exercising universal jurisdiction to ensure that all crimes committed in the country are investigated and prosecuted in accordance with the highest standards of justice, that the truth is told and that victims receive full and effective reparations.

A class action lawsuit occurs when a group of people sues another party. Class action lawsuits are mainly a United States phenomenon, but many European countries are allowing class actions now. Class actions started in England around 1200 as groups of people were allowed to sue a single entity. Therefore, guilds, parishes, town and villages started to use class action heavily. In Medieval England, the government allowed the use of class action as a means to enforce the law upon groups, since the entire country could not be managed by imposing any kind of obligation on any particular individual.
Since class action is a representational lawsuit; it can turn a large number of claims into a group claim. Accordingly, the efficiency of a legal process is increased as well as the costs. Since the law process will avoid dealing with the same exhibits, witnesses and issues repeatedly, everything will be better in these kinds of processes. For example, shareholders of a large corporation can use class action to defend their rights in case the parent company does something wrong. Therefore, the group can punish the wrongdoer by imposing some costs.
If the defendant is a member of a specific class, he or she might use class action to change the behavior of this distinct class. For instance, Flood v. Landeros was a class action in which doctors had to report any suspected abuse of children. Therefore, class actions are useful in preventing corporate misbehavior. Simply put, class actions are valuable and important for the legal system of the United States as they permit the efficient and productive resolution of claims filed by numerous parties.
Criticism, Ethics and Mass Action
Some members of the class action might not get any benefit out of it. For instance, an attorney might get tons of money while class members get some coupons and awards of no value. There are many ethical challenges that class action might bring about. As an illustration, any subclass might have different objectives than that of the class as a whole, but the class might be treated as a unit. The plaintiff will look for court approval in order to litigate on behalf of a certain group of people. However, not all plaintiffs will obtain or look for this approval in a class action.
Securities Class Action
If you have bought or sold securities from a company, you can use securities' class action in case of a problem. For instance, if the firm has violated some laws, you can file a lawsuit called securities class action. In cases that involve omissions or misleading statements, a class period will start when the firm does not render some non-misleading statements or makes some untrue statements about a particular fact. When the public knows the truth, the class period is over. Many law firms specialize in securities' class action such as Grant and Eisenhofer, and these types of class. Securities class actions can be very lucrative. Examples of large settlements are the case of Enron Corporation at almost $8 billion and WorldCom, Inc. at around $6 billion.

U.S. Edition
An experimental treatment in which researchers reengineer a patient's own immune system to attack cancer cells seems to have worked in a 7-year old girl named Emma Whitehead. The acute lymphoblastic leukemia that almost claimed Whitehead's life is now in remission.
Whitehead received the treatment, called T-cell immunotherapy, in April. First doctors drew Whitehead's blood, separated out white blood cells called T-cells, and then, using a disabled AIDS virus to transmit genetic material, made the T-cells capable of identifying and attacking leukemia cells.
Finally, the genetically modified T-cells were transfused back into Whitehead, where they went to work wiping out her leukemia to below the level of detection, a process that can itself be deadly.
"This is just one example now of several examples where people can now use immune cells recognizing cancer to reject, and in some cases it's been well shown for 10 years now, that they can cure certain types of cancer with this approach," says Dr. James Yang, a senior investigator at the National Cancer Institute.
"This latest research is about one such retargeting. It's targeting a single molecule, CD-19, that's on certain types of cancers."
Whitehead is one of 12 patients to undergo T-cell immunotherapy for Leukemia at the University of Pennsylvania. Other patients have responded differently, or not at all, to the treatment.
Among them, another pediatric patient initially responded to the treatment, but relapsed one month later. When the leukemia came back, it no longer had the specific CD-19 receptor that doctors had engineered her T-cells to identify on leukemic cells.
"Very often, with acute leukemia when patients relapse, they relapse fairly quickly, and the longer that Emily and other patients go without a relapse, the better the chances the leukemia won't come back, but it is still early in the follow-up," says Dr. David Porter, one of the Penn researchers. Emily is Whitehead's given name, although her family calls her Emma.
"There's a great deal of energy and effort trying to identify other targets on leukemia cells for that situation, but also useful targets that could be on other cancers where you could apply this kind therapy," he said.
Other hospitals are trying similar therapies.
it would be nice if medical reporters can spread the word about home computers helping research. two nonprofit projects are 'world community grid' and 'folding at home'. we are all volunteers, so have a look and join us!
Isn't this how 'I Am Legend' began?
No, in I am Legend they used measles. Also, its just a movie.
I was thinking more like 'Resident Evil'
This was addressed in xkcd #938
I cannot believe how much press this tiny trial is getting (I also saw this story in the New York Times). These results are from ONE patient in a tiny Phase 1 trial and they don't even have 12 months of follow-up on her yet. It is irresponsible in the extreme to go trumpeting this therapy based on one patient's preliminary data, especially since it appears she wasn't even a typical patient (ie the others did not respond). People, you can take almost any trial and easily find one patient who makes the treatment look good. Take it from me (I run clinical oncology trials)– this story means NOTHING. Sad but true.
oh. I'm sure it means NOTHING to Emily's family either...guess they should go ahead and plan her funeral. Are you that cynical with the patients in your trials?
I think there are several things at work in this story,. I do agree with you,dgieger, that this is obviously a big deal to the family. As to why such a tiny study is gaining so much traction? I think throwing around the AIDS buzzwords gave the story more traction than it would have otherwise gotten.
I don't think many are going to get unrealistic hope from the article.
Excuse me Liz, but it will SOON be 12 months since she received this treatment. I have followed this little girl's story from the beginning and I can tell you, she is amazing! She has been a local story for over a year now, and it's just FINALLY getting national attention, so, just go with it and celebrate with us that there has been a step in the right direction in the fight against cancer! Em, keep fighting love! WE BELIEVE!
Unfortunately your right only 1 in 10 trials has any effect in a positive way on cancer research but at least the researchers are still swinging. Hopefully some significant progress will be made covering a vast percentage of malignant disease. I know because I'm still here due to combination of sis platinum, Aureomycin and bliomycin and veloban when i was diagnosed at 22 with testicular cancer, lymphoma involving my kidneys and urinal tract. That was 36 years ago!
Perhaps by publishing this story they were hoping to gather interest for funding for future trials?
The bigger problem with how this is being reported is completely ignoring what Carl June's lab does – which is *how* the T Cells are modified. Replacing the TCR with a BCR makes them absurdly plastic and able to target virtually any epitope that we can find. This type of treatment won't be mainstream any time soon, but getting these first steps at personalized medicine is moving things along. DVD players used to cost $1000, now they cost $29 at Walmart. This treatment may cost $100,000 for a hospital to offer it now, but hopefully improving technology will drive its cost down as well.
I too agree with Liz. If you look at this from a biostatistical perspective, you don't have the data needed to say this works. Why is this tiny trial getting so much publicity? Is it because of the disabled HIV virus that was used? Are they hoping to get more funding through the advertising this article will provide? I'm sure it is big news for the family, however, from a research perspective, we don't have the data to say this treatment is statistically significant.
I agree that this single study with a small sample size does not point to a clear answer as to the utility of this particular treatment. However, when I read this article, the focus to me seemed to be more about a new general paradigm that is being investigated – specifically, using a virus to possibly impact the immune system which might in turn impact the progression of certain cancers. (I acknowledge that to those in the medical field, this paradigm may not be new at all, but to those of us not in that field, it is indeed an interesting concept – which may or may not ultimately prove useful.) I thought the article was clear in that the utility of this particular treatment is undetermined (i.e., "other pts have responded differently or not at all).
"disabled AIDS virus"
AIDS is a condition (syndrome) of HIV after certain factors are present and opportunistic diseased are present, there is no AIDS virus. HIV is the virus.
I have to agree with dgieger. It may not mean anything in the larger scheme of things as most studies, but the child's family I am sure is very grateful.
Oh, they are grateful! For every little breath; for every laugh they hear. Last year's holiday season was hell on them because she was so sick. This is a miraculous event in the lives of the Whiteheads and their giving back to the hospital that has helped this child recover. You can follow her story on Facebook. Look for "Prayers for Emily (Emma) Whitehead" and you will find them.
This is how resident evil begins
Disabled AIDS virus? And who is still saying there is no cure for HIV/AIDS?
Spoken like a true molecular biologist
this proves once and for all that HIV was indeed a disease that was engineered biologically in a lab somewhere at sometime by the united states biological weapons division as a tool for future use. this is why its killing so many of us here in africa yet the victims of this disease live literally healthy and normal lives with the virus in the US!
No, that would be your ancestors playing "house" with a tribe of chimps allowing the virus to jump species. +1 for backwoods bio-engineering. Stop blaming the U.S. It gets old.
Really? Did you they also use cold virus, as well as others to do the same, but on different conditions? So, cold is also created by a secret gov agency?
LOL you need to get a clue. Nearly *all* gene therapy trials going forward now don't use lentiviral vectors, they use AAV. Was that also created in a government laboratory? Even though it is not at all pathogenic? Guess those government weapons makers aren't so good at what they do afterall.
Em, Your time to shine has come! You were born a miracle and your recovery was a miracle. God has very special plans for your life! We have been honored to be praying for you as you and your family take this journey and we have seen God take something that was meant for death (HIV) and use it to bring back life! Remember, in our weakness God is strength! We continue to pray for you daily that those blasted blast cells stay away! WE BELIEVE!
Visti her facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/emilybrookewhitehead?fref=ts
Let the flood of ignorant comments began!
I am so happy for this little girl and her family- finally a break through. I read that there were five in total received the same treatment and 2 have been cancer free for 2 years- there was no change in one and the other person was just recently injected. So if they can save 3 out of 5 people with this treatment we say keep going! I have been cancer free for 16 months and I pray everyday It won't come back!
For Me, this just confirms that HIV was genetically engineered. While I am happy that the little girl is in Remission, Why the heck cant they re- create a version of HIV that disables the virus in humans infected?
They used the AIDS virus as their delivery vehicle. This is the ultimate in irony.
...ok so now they're trying to sell you that HIV can cure cancer? how can you disable AIDS? you can disable the HIV virus but not the disease....I swear this sounds like a set up story or ignorant reporting – is Obama HIV+ or something?
i was the looking for the same and related info, what you describe on your article. And found you through google search. Its helps me a lots and i understood that you are one of skill article writer/ blogger. I have book marked your blog and hope to visit again to learn more. Thanks for your valuable efforts and time.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i cant believe this i am at stephenson middle school and i have 3 articles to turn in and this article right here is just the one and it just happened yesterday at 2:57 pm that is unbelievable. i am sure gonna choose this one for one of my articles.
This treatment may not work for everyone, but it could save millions of people. Especially children, like this little girl. To the people who do not understand, they are taking the T-cells from the virus, NOT THE ACTUAL VIRUS, only a portion of it.
How is the AIDS virus disabled yet we have no cure?! I'm perplexed!

Movie News After Dark: Malick Goes to ACL, Why Star Wars Fans Are Wrong, Christina Hendricks' Breasts and a Fantastic Challenge
Movie News By Neil Miller on September 19, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news and tidbit (that word makes it giggle) column that is back in full swing this week. A special thanks to Cole Abaius for picking up the reigns last week while usual author Neil Miller was locked away in a 3×3 ft. cell in preparation for Fantastic Fest. No, there was not a reason for it. And yes, he has emerged ready for a bare-knuckle boxing match (or two). But first, the news… We begin tonight with a shot of Christian Bale and Terrence Malick walking through the crowds of the Austin City Limits music festival this past weekend here in Austin, TX. It caused quite a commotion with the crowds, many of whom were there to see acts like Bright Eyes, Stevie Wonder and Kanye West. As a surprise, they got T. Malick in that silly hat.

Who's In Charge of The Body
0Mar 18, '02 by bettsAll the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was in charge.
The brain said: "I should be in charge, because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen."
"I should be in charge," said the stomach, "because I process food and give all of you energy."
"I should be in charge," said the heart, "because I pump the blood and circulate oxygen all over the body, so without me you'd all waste away."
"I should be in charge," said the rectum, "because I'm responsible for waste removal."
All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight.
Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, and the blood was toxic.
Eventually the other organs gave in.
They all agreed that the rectum should be the boss.
The moral of the story?
You don't have to be smart or important to be in charge...
just an *******. -

Dear Ezreal, You're awesome. Stay classy.
@Ezreal Hello, I have two questions that I'd really appreciate it if you could answer. 1.) This is something I've wondered for a while now: Would it be in any way possible to add spoken language to the match making algorithm? I don't mean any offense to people who don't speak the same language as I do; but it does make it much more difficult to speak with my teammates if I cannot understand them, and they probably think the same of me. I don't mean that that the match maker shouldn't pair people of different tongues, but if it could make it more likely for people of the same language to be put on the same team, it would be very beneficial. 2.) I don't play Blitzcrank often, but is there any reason why blood splatters come out of him when he is attacked? I mean if it's something that's hard coded into all champ automatically, I totally understand; but I kinda think it'd make a lot more sense if oil splattered when you hit him. But that isn't too important and I'm just rambling now. Thank you for your time!

First facility for OTC commodity swaps launched after successful pilot.
The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) and EFETnet have announced the launch of the world's first global trade repository for over-the-counter (OTC) commodity derivatives.
In line with US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) rules on swap data reporting, the Global Trade Repository for Commodities (GTRfC) will begin testing submissions for Dodd-Frank Swap Data Repository requirements on 14 May. From there, reporting requirements will be phased in over the next few months. All participants under the pureview of the CFTC engaged in OTC commodity derivatives trades must begin reporting in line with the new mandate from 14 October 2012.
The GTRfC aims to provide a single location into which market participants can report their data on commodity swaps, as well as a central location for regulators to access an overview of the market.
"The launch of the Commodity Derivatives trade repository by DTCC and EFETnet is another important step forward in improving regulatory transparency in the OTC derivatives markets," says Julian Day, head of market infrastructure at the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA). "Policymakers around the world will have greater insight and access to OTC derivatives trades across the range of interest rate, credit, equity and commodities asset classes."
