I frowned at the paper in front of me. My song was finally complete. All my feelings for my best friend and secret crush Arthur, finally put on paper. Now there was only one problem.
When the hell was I gonna sing it to him?
This seemed like such a good idea at the time...
A knock on the door drew me out of my thoughts. I went to answer it and who else would it be but the heartthrob himself.
"Oh, Arthur! I didn't expect you to be here so soon." Not that I minded of course.
"Actually love, I'm a little late... Sorry."
"Oh, is that so?" Sometimes it scares me how I can get so lost in my thoughts.
He looked around the house and sweat dropped. "Were you daydreaming again, _____?"
I blush, looking at my house. It was only a little messy, but I was extremely embarrassed. Arthur's house was always so clean! He was always outdoing me in this aspect and as a woman, I felt ashamed about that.
"Haha, you know me so well..." I trailed off scratching my head. "I'm really sorry. Come in, have a seat. I'll clean up a bit."
He smiled and came in, sitting down on the couch. "Are your folks around?"
"Nah, it's their anniversary, so they went to a fancy hotel to rekindle their relationship." I gagged as I started cleaning up a little.
He laughed. "Don't be that way, love. We'll be in that same position one day."
My heart stopped. "W-what?"
"Erm... I mean, you know... I'm sure you'll find a wonderful guy and get married and um... Do stuff together."
"Oh... Right!" Of course that's what he meant. Stupid.
After that, I just kept picking up around the house in silence.
"The house is clean, _____. You don't have to do that. Or I could help if you insist."
"No! You're my guest, that's rude." With my lazy ass not really wanting to clean anyway though, I took this as permission to stop.
"You're so British." I teased, sticking my tongue out at him.
He blushed and looked away. "No duh! I'm British, you git!"
"Okay, I'll go make you some tea."
Arthur's POV
I slapped myself on the head. "We'll be in that position too someday? I can't believe I said that!" Could I be any more obvious? I might as well have just told her I'm in love with her!
I've been in love with her for a very long time now. But I'm not sure how to tell her. Hell, I don't know if she even feels the same!
Something caught my eye... A CD on the floor with "For Arthur" On it
I blushed. She made a CD for me? I wonder what was on it...
"Arthur, Tea's ready!"
Crap. If I took it now, chances are she'd notice. As much as it pained me, I put the CD back and went to join her.
I wasn't done with it just yet though... I had a plan.
~Time skip to tommorow! ~
The next day I put my plan into action. I brought a regular blank disc imitating her handwriting the best I could. Then we she was out of sight, I dashed to her room, looking for the CD.
I face palmed when I noticed it was in her radio. Maybe it wasn't such a secret if she left it in plain sight all the time...
Regardless, I switched the CD's and was and mentally patted myself on the back. I'm SAS; of course I'm good at espionage and data retrieval!
When ______ nearly caught me, I figured it'd be best to just go home. I could barely contain my excitement as I placed it in my laptop and put in my earphones.
(skipping the song because you'll find out what it is later... If you don't already know *cough* it'sinthetitle *cough)
I must have listened to that song 50 times. The guitar, her voice... everything about was perfect.
And it was perfect in more ways than one.
As I put the song on repeat for the 51st time, I picked up my guitar.
I know exactly how I was going confess to __________.
~ Week long time skip! ~
Reader POV
"Okay, today's the day!" I told myself. "Today, I'm gonna give him the CD!"
Yeah, I had this same conversation in my mind everyday. Obviously, it wasn't going to happen. I guess I was just too much of a coward.
What also made it difficult was that Arthur was acting very strange. One minute he was flirting rather blatantly with me, the next he was blushing and running away. He mostly did the latter. It hurt! I felt like I was losing my friend and I didn't even know why.
He even broke our daily visit after school routine. Something about "important business".
As I sat pondering my friends odd behavior, a possibility ran across my mind that made my heart sink.
Maybe he was seeing someone.
Once that thought got stuck in my mind there was no getting it out. It may as well have been fact. Needless to say, I had trouble focusing the rest of the day.
I got home and finally let loose, crying into a pillow on the sofa. I felt stupid for letting myself get so worked up over something that may not be true, but I couldn't help it!
Hearing a knock on the door, I wiped my eyes and put on a fake smile. I opened it and my heart sank.
"Oh, hi Arthur..."
He took immediate notice of my attitude and became concerned.
"Love, what's wrong?"
I couldn't bring myself to tell him.
"______ please, you know you can tell me anything."
"I'm sorry, but I just don't want to talk about it."
He sighed. "Alright love. But will you at least give me a chance to cheer you up?"
"Uh... Yeah, sure. I guess."
He smiled and lead me to the couch. He pulled the guitar out of the case my inattentive failed to notice he had and began to play.
My eyes widened. That guitar riff... There's no way...
Then I heard his voice.
"There I was again tonight forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place
Walls of insincerity
Shifting eyes and vacancy vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you"
This was MY song! I couldn't believe it.If I wasn't head over heels for this guy, and he didn't have that voice, I would've been pissed.
"Your eyes whispered "have we met?"
Across the room your silhouette starts to make it's way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy
All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you
Oh ______ I was so enchanted to meet you too."
Oh god, my brain is fried right now. Never in a million years would I imagine this happening.
"This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you, too"
Arthur took the instrumental break as an opportunity to wipe the happy tears threatening to fall from my eyes.
"The lingering question kept me up
2AM, who do you love?
I wondered till I'm wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth, wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say,
Hey it was enchanting to meet you
Oh _____ I was so enchanted to meet you too'
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you too."
At this point my mind was somewhat working and I figured I'd sing along.
"This is me praying that this was the very first page"
"Not where the story line ends"
"My thoughts will echo your name"
"Until I see you again"
"These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon"
"I was enchanted to meet you, too"
"Please don't be in love with someone else"
"Please don't have somebody waiting on you"
"Please don't be in love with someone else"
"Please don't have somebody waiting on you"
"This night is sparkling, don't you let it go"
"I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home"
"I'll spend forever wondering if you knew"
"This night is flawless, don't you let it go"
"I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone"
"______, I'll spend my whole life wondering if you knew"
"I was enchanted to meet you (too)*"
We sang that last line together. He put a finger to my lips, signaling he wanted to do the rest of the song solo.
"I was never in love with someone else
I never had somebody waiting on me
'Cause you were all of my dreams come true
And I just wish you knew
______ I was so in love with you."
As soon as he put his guitar down, I jumped on him and pulled him into a kiss which he returned with equal enthusiasm.
After a few minutes we pulled apart. I noticed at some point during the kiss pulled me onto his lap, but that thought was pushed out of my mind as I remembered something.
"You know I'm still pissed at you for stealing my CD, right?"
"Awww, but I sang it back to you in a spontaneous and romantic manner!"
"Don't care, I'm still pissed." A devilish smirk made its way to my face as I leaned in and whispered seductively in his ear. "I'm afraid I'll have to punish you."
"Oh?" he responded playful tone. "What did you have in mind?" he breathed onto my neck before kissing it.I giggled and shuddered at the feeling.
"Oh, I don't know..." I started, hearing him chuckle darkly before I got off his lap. "How about no kissing for a week?" I winked at him and walked away.
He looked extremely hurt for a second, but then that devilish smirk returned to his face.
He knew I wouldn't last that long, and so did I

ABSTRACT: Autologous haematopoietic SCT with PBSCs is regularly used to restore BM function in patients with multiple myeloma or lymphoma after myeloablative chemotherapy. Twenty-eight experts from the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation developed a position statement on the best approaches to mobilising PBSCs and on possibilities of optimising graft yields in patients who mobilise poorly. Choosing the appropriate mobilisation regimen, based on patients' disease stage and condition, and optimising the apheresis protocol can improve mobilisation outcomes. Several factors may influence mobilisation outcomes, including older age, a more advanced disease stage, the type of prior chemotherapy (e.g., fludarabine or melphalan), prior irradiation or a higher number of prior treatment lines. The most robust predictive factor for poor PBSC collection is the CD34(+) cell count in PB before apheresis. Determination of the CD34(+) cell count in PB before apheresis helps to identify patients at risk of poor PBSC collection and allows pre-emptive intervention to rescue mobilisation in these patients. Such a proactive approach might help to overcome deficiencies in stem cell mobilisation and offers a rationale for the use of novel mobilisation agents.Bone Marrow Transplantation advance online publication, 31 March 2014; doi:10.1038/bmt.2014.39.Bone marrow transplantation 03/2014; · 3.00 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have significant off-target multi-kinase inhibitory effects. We aimed to study the impact of TKIs on the in vivo B-cell response to vaccination. Cellular and humoral responses to influenza and pneumococcal vaccines were evaluated in 51 chronic phase CML patients on imatinib, or second-line dasatinib and nilotinib and 24 controls. Following vaccination, CML patients on TKI had significant impairment of IgM humoral response to pneumococcus compared to controls (IgM titer 79.0 vs. 200 U/ml, p=0.0006), associated with significantly lower frequencies of peripheral blood IgM memory B cells. To elucidate whether CML itself or treatment with TKI was responsible for the impaired humoral response, we assessed memory B-cell subsets in paired samples collected before and after imatinib therapy. Treatment with imatinib was associated with significant reductions in IgM memory B-cells. In vitro co-incubation of B-cells with plasma from CML patients on TKI or with imatinib, dasatinib or nilotinib induced significant and dose-dependent inhibition of Bruton's tyrosine kinase and indirectly its downstream substrate, phospholipase-C-γ2, both important in B cell signaling and survival. These data indicate that TKI, through off-target inhibition of kinases important in B-cell signaling, reduce memory B-cell frequencies and induce significant impairment of B-cell responses in CML.Blood 05/2013; · 9.78 Impact Factor - Blood 07/2012; 120(3):697-8. · 9.78 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Plerixafor with granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) has been shown to enhance stem cell mobilization in patients with multiple myeloma and lymphoma with previous mobilization failure. In this European named patient program we report the experience in insufficiently mobilizing patients diagnosed with nonhematologic diseases. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Thirty-three patients with germ cell tumor (n = 11), Ewing sarcoma (n = 6), Wiscott-Aldrich disease (n = 5), neuroblastoma (n = 4), and other nonhematologic diseases (n = 7) were included in the study. Plerixafor was limited to patients with previous or current stem cell mobilization failure and given after 4 days of G-CSF (n = 21) or after chemotherapy and G-CSF (n = 12) in patients who mobilized poorly. RESULTS: Overall, 28 (85%) patients succeeded in collecting at least 2 × 10(6) /kg body weight (b.w.) CD34+ cells (median, 5.0 × 10(6) /kg b.w. CD34+ cells; range, 2.0 × 10(6) -29.5 × 10(6) /kg b.w. CD34+ cells), and five (15%) patients collected a median of 1.5 × 10(6) /kg b.w. CD34+ cells (range, 0.9 × 10(6) -1.8 × 10(6) /kg b.w. CD34+ cells). Nineteen patients proceeded to transplantation. The median dose of CD34+ cells infused was 3.3 × 10(6) /kg b.w. (range, 2.3 × 10(6) -6.7 × 10(6) /kg b.w. CD34+ cells). The median numbers of days to neutrophil and platelet engraftment were 11 (range, 9-12) and 15 (range, 10-25) days, respectively. CONCLUSION: These data emphasize the role of plerixafor in combination with G-CSF or chemotherapy and G-CSF as an effective mobilization regimen with the potential of successful stem cell collection. Accordingly, plerixafor seems to be safe and effective in patients with nonhematologic diseases. Larger prospective studies are warranted to further assess its use in these patients.Transfusion 03/2012; · 3.57 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Fludarabine and lenalidomide are essential drugs in the front-line treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and multiple myeloma (MM), respectively. Data suggests that fludarabine and lenalidomide therapy may have a deleterious effect on stem cell mobilization. In the European compassionate use program, 48 patients (median age 57 years) previously treated with fludarabine (median 5 cycles; range: 1-7 cycles) were given plerixafor plus granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for remobilization following a primary mobilization attempt. The overall median number of CD34+ cells collected was 2.3 × 10(6)/kg (range: 0.3-13.4). The minimum required number of CD34+ cells (≥2.0 × 10(6)/kg) was collected from 58% of patients in a median of 2 days. Thirty-five patients (median age = 57 years) previously treated with lenalidomide (median 5 cycles; range: 1-10 cycles) were given plerixafor plus G-CSF for remobilization. The overall median number of CD34+ cells collected was 3.4 × 10(6)/kg (range: 1.1-14.8). The minimum required number of CD34+ cells (≥2.0 × 10(6) per kg) was collected from 69% of patients in a median of 2 days. In conclusion, salvage mobilization with plerixafor plus G-CSF is successful in the majority of patients with MM previously treated with lenalidomide. In fludarabine-exposed patients, only 58% of patients will achieve successful salvage mobilization with plerixafor plus G-CSF, suggesting the need for novel mobilization regimens algorithms in this subgroup of patients.Biology of blood and marrow transplantation: journal of the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation 02/2012; 18(2):314-7. · 3.15 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The effectiveness of the novel hematopoietic stem cell mobilizing agent plerixafor was evaluated in nationwide compassionate use programs in 13 European countries. A total of 580 poor mobilizers with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and multiple myeloma (MM) were enrolled. All patients received plerixafor plus granulocyte CSF with or without chemotherapy. Overall, the collection yield was significantly higher in MM patients (>2.0 × 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg: 81.6%; >5.0 × 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg: 32.0%) than in NHL patients (>2.0 × 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg: 64.8%; >5.0 × 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg: 12.6%; P<0.0001) and also significantly higher in HL patients (>2.0 × 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg: 81.5%; >5.0 × 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg: 22.2%) than in NHL patients (P=0.013). In a subgroup analysis, there were no significant differences in mobilization success comparing patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma. Our data emphasize the role of plerixafor in poor mobilizers, but further strategies to improve the apheresis yield especially in patients with NHL are required.Bone marrow transplantation 11/2011; 47(8):1046-50. · 3.00 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: Natural killer (NK) cells are expanded in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and exert cytotoxicity. The inherited repertoire of killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) may influence response to TKI. We investigated the impact of KIR-genotype on outcome in 166 chronic phase CML patients on first-line imatinib treatment. We validated our findings in an independent patient group. On multivariate analysis, KIR2DS1 genotype (RR=1.51, P=0.03) and Sokal risk score (low-risk RR=1, intermediate-risk RR=1.53, P=0.04, high-risk RR=1.69, P=0.034) were the only independent predictors for failure to achieve complete cytogenetic response (CCyR). Furthermore, KIR2DS1 was the only factor predicting shorter progression-free (PFS) (RR=3.1, P=0.03) and overall survival (OS) (RR=2.6, P=0.04). The association between KIR2DS1 and CCyR, PFS and OS was validated by KIR genotyping in 174 CML patients on first-line imatinib in the UK multi-center SPIRIT-1 trial; in this cohort, KIR2DS1(+) patients had significantly lower 2-year probabilities of achieving CCyR (76.9 vs 87.9%, P=0.003), PFS (85.3 vs 98.1%, P=0.007) and OS (94.4 vs 100%, P=0.015) than KIR2DS1(-) patients. The impact of KIR2DS1 on CCyR was greatest when the ligand for the corresponding inhibitory receptor, KIR2DL1, was absent (P=0.00006). Our data suggest a novel role for KIR-HLA immunogenetics in CML patients on TKI.Leukemia: official journal of the Leukemia Society of America, Leukemia Research Fund, U.K 08/2011; 26(2):296-302. · 10.16 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Increasing numbers of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) are being performed for patients who have failed a previous allogeneic or autologous SCT. We investigated whether the EBMT risk score could predict outcome after a subsequent allo-SCT. We analyzed prognostic factors in 124 consecutive patients who underwent a second transplantation using an allogeneic donor at our institution. Patients with either a first autologous (N = 64) or first allogeneic (N = 60) SCT were included. Age, disease stage, time interval from diagnosis to transplantation, donor type, and donor-recipient sex combination were used to establish a score from 0 to 7 points, from which 3 groups were identified. The 5-year survival probability decreased from 51.7% for risk scores 0-3 (low, n = 25), to 29.3% for risk score 4 (intermediate, n = 42), and only 10.4% for risk scores 5-7 (high, n = 57), P = .001. We propose that the EBMT risk score can identify patients most likely to benefit from a second transplantation.Biology of blood and marrow transplantation: journal of the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation 06/2011; 18(2):235-40. · 3.15 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Limited data are available on immunologic responses to primary H1N1 infection in patients with hematologic malignancies. We present a prospective, case-surveillance study of such patients with real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) confirmed H1N1-influenza who presented to our institution between September 2009 and January 2010. Ninety-two patients presented with influenza-like symptoms, and 13 had H1N1 infection confirmed by RT-PCR, including 4 allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients (1 with acute myelogenous leukemia, 1 with chronic lymphoblastic leukemia [CLL], 1 with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and 1 with chronic myelogenous leukemia), 5 patients with multiple myeloma following autologous stem cell transplantation, 1 patient with multiple myeloma perimobilization, 2 patients with NHL post chemotherapy, and 1 patient with CLL. All 13 patients required hospitalization. Six (43%) were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), of whom 4 (67%) died. We evaluated B cell and T cell responses to H1N1 infection prospectively in these patients compared with those in 4 otherwise healthy controls. Within 12 weeks of diagnosis, only 6 of 11 patients developed seropositive antibody titers as measured by hemagglutination-inhibition or microneutralization assays, compared with 4 of 4 controls. H1N1-specific T cells were detected in only 2 of 8 evaluable patients compared with 4 of 4 controls. H1N1-specific T cells were functional, capable of producing interferon γ, tumor necrosis factor α, and CD107a mobilization. Furthermore, CD154 was up-regulated on CD4(+) T cells in 3 of 4 controls and 2 of 2 patients who had both B cell and T cell responses to H1N1. Post-H1N1 infection, 5 of 8 patients developed seasonal influenza-specific T cells, suggesting cross-reactivity induced by H1N1 infection. These data offer novel insights into humoral and cell-mediated immunologic responses to primary H1N1 infection.Biology of blood and marrow transplantation: journal of the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation 05/2011; 17(5):632-9. · 3.15 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To analyze the outcome of allogeneic transplantation for mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome (MF/SS) in terms of nonrelapse mortality (NRM), relapse/progression (REL), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) and to identify factors associated with the outcome. Sixty patients with MF (n = 36) and SS (n = 24) who received a first allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) from a matched related (mRD; n = 45) or unrelated donor (mUD; n = 15) between 1997 and 2007 and who were registered in the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation database were analyzed: 37 men and 23 women, median age 46.5 years (range, 22 to 66 years). Forty-four patients had TNM stage IV, and 40 patients were at advanced phase at transplantation. Forty-four patients received reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens, and 25 underwent T-cell depletion (TCD). Allogeneic transplantation in MF/SS offers an estimated OS of 66% at 1 year and 54% at 3 years, primarily driven by donor type, disease phase, and type of conditioning. RIC decreased NRM (relative risk [RR] = 4.7; P = .008) without increasing REL, leading to a higher OS (RR = 2.8; P = .03). Advanced-phase disease increases REL (RR = 3.0; P = .03) and reduces PFS (RR = 4.4; P = .002) and OS (RR = 3.5; P = .023). Recipients of mRD allogeneic HCT had better PFS (RR = 2.7; P = .006) and OS (RR = 4.0; P = .001) than their mUD counterparts. The risk of REL increases with TCD (RR = 3.2; P = .005). Some patients who experience relapse can successfully undergo rescue treatment with donor lymphocyte infusions. Allogeneic transplantation is a valid therapeutic alternative for high-risk patients with advanced-stage MF/SS. Our data also suggest the existence of a clinically relevant graft-versus-lymphoma effect in MF/SS.Journal of Clinical Oncology 10/2010; 28(29):4492-9. · 17.88 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Astrological or Zodiac (star) sign has been shown to be a statistically significant factor in the outcome of a variety of diseases, conditions, and phenomena. To investigate its relevance in the context of a stem cell transplant (SCT), we examined its influence in chronic myeloid leukaemia, a disease with well-established prognostic factors. Data were collected on 626 patients who received a first myeloablative allogeneic SCT between 1981 and 2006. Star sign was determined for each patient. Univariate analyses comparing all 12 individual star signs showed considerable variation of 5-year probabilities of survival, 63% for Arians, to 45% for Aquarians, but without significance (P=.65). However, it was possible to pool together star signs likely to provide dichotomous results. Thus, grouping together Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Scorpio, and Capricorn (group A; n=317) versus others (group B; n=309) resulted in a highly significant difference (58% vs 48%; P=.007). When adjusted for known prognostic factors in a multivariate analysis, group B was associated with an increased risk of mortality when compared with group A (relative risk [RR], 1.37; P=.005). In this study, we show that, providing adequate care is taken, a significant relationship between patient star sign and survival post SCT for CML can be observed. This is, however, a completely erroneous result, and is based on the pooling together of observations to artificially create a statistically significant result. Statistical analyses should thus be carried out on a priori hypotheses and not to find a meaningful or significant result.Transplantation Proceedings 10/2010; 42(8):3312-5. · 0.95 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In 2009 the declaration by the World Health Organization of a global pandemic of influenza-H1N1 virus led to a vaccination campaign to ensure protection for immunocompromised patients. The goal of this study was to determine the efficacy of the 2009 H1N1 vaccine in patients with hematologic malignancies. We evaluated humoral and cellular immune responses to 2009 H1N1 vaccine in 97 adults with hematologic malignancies and compared these responses with those in 25 adult controls. Patients received two injections of vaccine 21 days apart and the controls received one dose. Antibody titers were measured using a hemagglutination-inhibition assay on days 0, 21 and 49 after injection of the first dose. Cellular immune responses to H1N1 were determined on days 0 and 49. By day 21 post-vaccination, protective antibody titers of 1:32 or more were seen in 100% of controls compared to 39% of patients with B-cell malignancies (P<0.001), 46% of allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients (P<0.001) and 85% of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (P=0.086). After a second dose, seroprotection rates increased to 68%, (P=0.008), 73%, (P=0.031), and 95% (P=0.5) in patients with B-cell malignancies, after allogeneic stem cell transplantation and with chronic myeloid leukemia, respectively. On the other hand, T-cell responses to H1N1 vaccine were not significantly different between patients and controls. These data demonstrate the efficacy of H1N1 vaccine in most patients with hematologic malignancies and support the recommendation for the administration of two doses of vaccine in immunocompromised patients. These results may contribute towards the development of evidence-based guidelines for influenza vaccination in such patients in the future.Haematologica 10/2010; 96(2):307-14. · 5.94 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Natural killer (NK) cells exert antimyeloma cytotoxicity. The balance between inhibition and activation of NK-cells played by the inherited repertoire of killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genes therefore may influence prognosis. One hundred eighty-two patients with multiple myeloma (MM) were analyzed for KIR repertoire. Multivariate analysis showed that progression-free survival (PFS) after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) was significantly shorter for patients who are KIR3DS1(+) (P = .01). This was most evident for patients in complete or partial remission (good risk; GR) at ASCT. The relative risk (RR) of progression or death for patients with KIR3DS1(+) compared with KIR3DS1(-) was 1.9 (95% CI, 1.3-3.1; P = .002). The most significant difference in PFS was observed in patients with GR KIR3DS1(+) in whom HLA-Bw4, the ligand for the corresponding inhibitory receptor KIR3DL1, was missing. Patients with KIR3DS1(+) KIR3DL1(+) HLA-Bw4(-) had a significantly shorter PFS than patients who were KIR3DS1(-), translating to a difference in median PFS of 12 months (12.2 vs 24 months; P = .002). Our data show that KIR-human leukocyte antigen immunogenetics represent a novel prognostic tool for patients with myeloma, shown here in the context of ASCT, and that KIR3DS1 positivity may identify patients at greater risk of progression.Blood 09/2010; 116(12):2033-9. · 9.78 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Peripheral-blood autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with HIV-related lymphoma (HIV-Ly) has been reported as a safe and useful procedure. Herein we report the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation experience on patients with HIV-Ly undergoing ASCT. This was a retrospective, multicentric, registry-based analysis. Since 1999, 68 patients from 20 institutions (median age, 41 years; range, 29 to 62 years) were included, diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL; n = 50) or Hodgkin's lymphoma (n = 18). At the time of ASCT, 16 patients were in first complete remission (CR1); 44 patients were in CR more than 1, partial remission, or chemotherapy-sensitive relapse (chemo-S); and eight patients had chemotherapy-resistant disease. The median number of CD34(+) cells infused was 4.5 x 10(6)/kg (range, 1.6 to 21.2 x 10(6)/kg). Median time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment were 11 days (range, 8 to 36 days) and 14 days (range, 6 to 455 days), respectively, with a cumulative incidence (CI) at 1 year of 95.6% and 87%, respectively. CI of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was 7.5% at 12 months after ASCT, mainly because of bacterial infections. CI of relapse was 30.4% at 24 months, statistically related with not being in CR at ASCT (relative risk [RR] = 3.6), NHL histology other than diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (RR = 3.4), and use of more than two previous treatment lines (RR = 3). At a median follow-up of 32 months (range, 2 to 81 months), progression-free survival (PFS) was 56%. Patients not in CR or with refractory disease at ASCT had poorer PFS (RR = 2.4 and 4.8, respectively). Similarly to HIV-negative patients with lymphoma, ASCT is a useful treatment for patients with HIV-Ly and is associated with low NRM, mainly when performed in early stages and chemo-S disease.Journal of Clinical Oncology 04/2009; 27(13):2192-8. · 17.88 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has been successfully used in HIV-related lymphoma (HIV-Ly) patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy. We report the first comparative analysis between HIV-Ly and a matched cohort of HIV(-) lymphoma patients. This retrospective European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation study included 53 patients (66% non-Hodgkin and 34% Hodgkin lymphoma) within each cohort. Both groups were comparable except for the higher proportion of males, mixed-cellularity Hodgkin lymphoma and patients receiving granulocyte colony-stimulating factor before engraftment and a smaller proportion receiving total body irradiation-based conditioning within the HIV-Ly cohort. Incidence of relapse, overall survival, and progression-free survival were similar in both cohorts. A higher nonrelapse mortality within the first year after ASCT was observed in the HIV-Ly group (8% vs 2%), predominantly because of early bacterial infections, although this was not statistically significant and did not influence survival. Thus, within the highly active antiretroviral therapy era, HIV patients should be considered for ASCT according to the same criteria adopted for HIV(-) lymphoma patients.Blood 04/2009; 113(23):6011-4. · 9.78 Impact Factor - British Journal of Haematology 06/2008; 141(5):745-7. · 4.94 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A 44-year-old man with relapsed HIV-associated stage IV nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease underwent high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation. The transplant was uncomplicated and the patient remains in complete remission at 59 months. Autologous stem cell transplantation is safe in HIV patients and can achieve long-term durable remissions in Hodgkin's disease.AIDS (London, England) 03/2008; 22(4):539-40. · 6.56 Impact Factor

NoshList worked with Clover, an all-in-one POS solution with an open platform, for integration with its platform and development of the app's new features.
"It makes sense to tie the POS and wait list management pieces together and we love how Clover's open-platform makes it possible to improve the guest experience in completely new ways," said NoshList CEO Craig Walker. "We are already working on a number of new features that would only be possible through their platform."

Time Warner Cable Arena
Attendance: None
Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - Richard Hamilton led a short-handed Pistons squad with 19 points as Detroit notched a 101-83 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats to cap a busy day for the franchise.
Hamilton was 9-of-18 shooting from the field with five assists and four rebounds while Rasheed Wallace netted 15 points for Detroit, which earlier in the day saw president of basketball operations Joe Dumars pull off an early- season blockbuster trade, acquiring the services of former MVP and Rookie of the Year Allen Iverson from the Nuggets.
Heading to Denver are guard Chauncey Billups, forward Antonio McDyess and reserve center Cheikh Samb. Dumars also reportedly signed Hamilton to a three- year contract extension on Monday according to a Detroit newspaper.
"On certain nights we might use three point guards with Iverson and Rodney Stuckey and some nights we may have to even put Will Bynum in," head coach Michael Curry said of the potential lineup jostling. "It's going to vary night to night."
With a depleted lineup due to the trade, several reserves saw extended minutes with Bynum and Amir Johnson chipping in with 12 points each to help keep the newly anointed Curry perfect through his first three regular-season games.
"It's tough when one of your captains (Billups) gets traded and McDyess was one of our emotional leaders -- it's a tough day for these guys," Curry said. "So for them to come out and play the way they did, we're proud of them."
Shannon Brown had a team-high 16 points while Gerald Wallace logged a double- double with 15 points and 12 boards for the Bobcats, who were coming off a 100-87 victory over the Miami Heat in their home opener on Saturday, which also gave new head coach Larry Brown his first win with the team.
Charlotte had been 0-9 under Brown including the preseason, losing to Cleveland in its season opener on Thursday.
After falling behind by 12 with about 6 1/2 minutes to play in the first half, Charlotte made a 14-5 run to close the half down only two, 45-43.
"In the second quarter we played great and the bench got us back in the game," Brown said. "In the third quarter, the first group got us back in the hole gain."
The Pistons, though, put together a 31-20 third quarter to take a 76-63 advantage into the final frame. From there Detroit used a 9-2 run with less than three minutes remaining to take a 17-point lead and coasted to victory.

ImmunoCellular Therapeutics Announces Clearance Of IND Application For Phase I Study Of Company's Second Vaccine Product Candidate In Recurrent GBM
ImmunoCellular Therapeutics (NYSE MKT: IMUC) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given clearance to a physician sponsored investigative new drug (IND) application to initiate a Phase I clinical trial of ICT-121, IMUC's novel dendritic-cell-based vaccine targeting CD-133, an antigen that is highly expressed by multiple solid tumors.
The trial, which will be conducted at a leading Los Angeles based medical center, will initially test the vaccine in up to 20 patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer.
With a Phase II trial of IMUC's lead product candidate ICT-107 well under way in treating patients with newly diagnosed GBM, ICT-121 is the Company's second dendritic-cell-based vaccine to enter the clinic. Like ICT-107, ICT-121 targets the cancer stem cells (CSCs) that are widely believed to be the root cause of many cancers.
"Preclinical studies conducted by IMUC indicate that ICT-121 effectively targets CD-133, a protein that is over-expressed by a very wide range of solid tumors, including glioblastoma, pancreatic, breast, non-small-cell lung cancer, and several other malignancies associated with poor survival and limited treatment options," said Manish Singh, Ph.D., president and CEO of IMUC. Given the highly encouraging survival benefit we have observed to date in GBM patients treated with ICT-107, we are especially eager to continue evaluating this promising immunotherapeutic approach to cancer treatment with this new study of our second vaccine formulation — initially in recurrent GBM, and eventually in several other tumor types associated with high CD-133 expression."
About ImmunoCellular Therapeutics, Ltd. ImmunoCellular Therapeutics (OTC.BB: IMUC) is a Los Angeles-based clinical-stage company that is developing immune-based therapies for the treatment of brain and other cancers. The Company has commenced a Phase II trial of its lead product candidate, ICT-107, a dendritic cell-based vaccine targeting multiple tumor associated antigens for glioblastoma. To learn more about IMUC, please visit www.imuc.com Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the risk that the prior safety and efficacy results for ICT-107 will not be confirmed in current or any subsequent trials of that product candidate in statistically significant larger patient populations and that similar or otherwise positive results will not be obtained in any trial for ICT-121. Additional risks and uncertainties are described in IMUC's most recently filed SEC documents, such as its most recent annual report on Form 10-K, all quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and any current reports on Form 8-K. IMUC undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Staying off the radar.
File types never meant to be made public (doc, xls, ppt) should only be indexed when indicated. Only files meant for the web (html, php, asp, xhtml, etc) should be indexed freely. Some are ambiguous, but most are not.
Hitprof - great analogy about the mail. I guess that PDFs would be one of the more ambiguous file types.
There are only files that are on the web -- i.e. have a link to them -- And those that aren't.
If it is on the web, then it is fair game for a search engine -- unless you tell the engine differently by:
Google will honor those instructions. Other search engines and most humans won't. For real protection, put anything you don't the world to see behind a password-required barrier. Or not on the web at all.
It is up to the file owner to decide whether a file should be secured against public viewing or not - a search engine bot cannot make such a distinction.
I agree that the average user has no idea how powerful the search engines are and what type of information can be obtained. If it is in a public server you have to assume it will be accessed by someone or something.
if i left my house door open, it does not mean i am giving permission for everybody, anybody to come in and do what they please with my property.
It is opt-in. If you opt-in, you make your document accessible. If you don't want it indexed, don't make it accessible. Sounds simple enough to me.
this will also reduce significantly the number of useless pages in the google index. look at all the server stats that are indexed by google that has no use except to the server's owner.
Although some of these webstats are explicitly linked by site owners, I think Google would be doing us all a favour by making webstat-type pages opt-in only. Not only would it squelch a lot of spam, it would make searching for information on robots and user-agents a whole lot easier.
If documents are private, then don't publish them. If your network is insecure, then it is your responability - a search bot cannot be expected to distinguish between an intentionally-public server and an inadvertently-public server.
1. How can the search bot tell that the page is a web stats page (which you think shouldn't be indexed) and not an example by the sales team of a stats program (which they would want indexed), or any other table of text and figures? The bots can't and don't read, analyse or understand - a web stats page is just the same as any other HTML page.
2. I regularly visit a site which has an explicit link to their stats page in their main menu. They want their stats to be public (for whatever reason). Why should the search engines refuse?
The makers of the stats programs could add a robots meta tag to their generated pages by default, but how do they know that they are doing what their customers want (see 2.)? Furthermore, why should they be responsible any more than the search engines?
Renee, I don't agree. It's not your house door. Your "house" is your personal computer. A webserver is on the World Wide Web. If you deliberately leave your personal documents on a table in the public library then you are by default saying they're public, which would be different to leaving them in the private care of the librarian.
if my house door is open, anybody can look but anybody who takes anything without my permission is stealing. And the thief cannot use the excuse that my door was open.
Here you go. They are just taking a photo of your house (cache) not taking the actual object (i.e. your pages still exist in your server - your house)
user-agent: * disallow: disallow-cache: /images/ disallow-cache: /presentations/
Note that you cannot use meta tags to prevent caching of images etc.
disallow-archive: would be a sensible synonym.
are you giving permission for anybody to take pictures of you doing private things in your house and publish them in the web and all media? and they'll say you're fair game - you did not draw down your window drapes!
And if these documents are sensitive such they wouldn't want the world to know what is in them, they are *stupid*. Googlebot isn't into hacking. It just follows links. If someone puts documents on a web server with links SE bots can find, this isn't just security by obscurity. It's security based on stupidity. DON'T DO THIS!
1. You, because these days no one should be stupid enough to wear just one set of underwear.
2. The inventor, because for many decades people didn't have to wear two sets of underwear.
rfgdxm1, I'm not talking about security but about common sense. Of course one shouldn't place the most sensitive data on the web - that's your ow resposibility.
Much to my surprise I just found a reference to GoogleGuy's very first post on Webmasterworld and look what it's about (and read Brett's answer in msg # 30 as well: [webmasterworld.com...]
somebody invented email. anybody can send you an email. you are now getting a lot of spam. who's fault is it?
1. you because you are stupid enough to have an email address. 2. the inventor of email.
ridiculous reasoning, isn't it?
the protocol today is opt-out - meaning if you do not explicitly specify that your site or pages are not to be indexed, then you are implicitly giving your permisssion.
the issue is whether the protocol should be changed. will it be better for the internet?
this protocol is not a substite for security or privacy. whichever protocol you use there will always be spammers and hackers. we should continue and always be concerned with security. just like email spam - just because the accepted protocol now is opt-out, it does not mean that email spam will go away. but now we have reason to tell the perpetrators that you did not give your permission to receive spam.
If you want to put up information which is "restricted access" for friends and family, why are you putting it on a competely open system without defining any boundaries? If you stuck a notice on a tree in your street for your friends, how can you expect to keep it private from anyone else passing?
Another analogy: you buy a field in the middle of a public park, and you don't put a fence, signpost or anything which allows someone to distinguish it from the public space that surrounds it. Can you blame people who inadvertently tresspass?
I'll say it again: if you put it on the web, you are already giving explicit permission to access that document by any means. If you don't want unfettered access then you must use available tools like .htaccess and robots.txt to define the rules of access which correspond to your needs.
I think there is some fundamental misunderstanding of the consequences of the technology here.
That pretty much says it all. It's the freaking Internet, people - by its very nature everything is "public" unless defined otherwise by the server administrator. If you don't want anyone to see it, don't put it in a public place.
I think it would have the opposite effect, because a great deal of useful information is created by academics and other subject experts who aren't into SEO, have never heard of robots.txt, and wouldn't know how to (or even that they should) opt in by taking any step beyond the obvious one of transferring their files to a public server.
Public websites are just that, public. The various (legitamate) spiders out there don't actively try to find information you haven't disclosed to anyone else. The whole argument that the public shouldn't be allowed into an area that is not cordened off from the public seems silly. The whole "X-ray" camera thing isn't even an argument, it's moot because legitimate engines don't do anything that sophisticated.
If folks insist on the house metaphor, leaving unsecured open documents on an equally unsecured server is like dancing naked in your livingroom with the curtains open and a freeway driving by outside, and then being "shocked" that someone talked about it.
Look, the web is public, so is anonymous FTP and (frankly) unsecured email. Your privacy is ultimately your responsibility, not someone else's. If you have materials you wish to keep secure, then by all means secure them.
Cripes, do you people wear your credit-card number on your t-shirts too?

Looks like you did it again. Funny, well-animated, perfect voices, just brilliant!
has captain planet eaten flash before ,wait...does that mean he's a zombie!?!?
nooo nooo, well maybe
Linework and expressions are great as always.
I really, really like the way you try to keep everything real. The faces look like something you'd see in real life and still has great line art. The frame by frame was outstanding, but sometimes you don't ease it in some parts.
It was a great setup. Showing how Captain Planet can really be a danger to earth himself is a perfect twist, and the reaction to everyone seeing him in distress was priceless.
Keep up the good work!
You sly bastard
So you admitted it - all your sexeh sexeh flashing is a sexeh scheme for world dominatrixation. I don't care if that isn't a word.
Anyways, yeah this was awesome as always. My wife & I can go to bed laughing and affected by your damn sexeh rays.
<3 you as always.
Fricking genius!
I love this, I've been watching your animations for years and you never disappoint. And this is yet another piece making it to my favorites. Which includes the weed drought and the Pleasure Island series. And critique wise? Seriously everything was done great, and it was extremely funny so this gets all my 5/5 10/10 and all that jazz.

We are taught to believe that ideology is the enemy of free thought. But that's not right. Ideology is a mere checklist of principles and priorities. The real enemy of clear thinking is the script. We think the world is supposed to go by a familiar plot. And when the facts conflict with the script, we edit the facts.
So, for instance, David Horowitz is a stock villain on U.S. campuses because he deviates from the standard formula of coddling the usual victims and lionizing the usual heroes. Once a committed left-wing radical, Horowitz now resides on the right. Two of his favorite targets are academia and radical Islam. He leads an extensive network of websites, books, lecture series, pamphlets and conferences aimed at exposing the folly and dangers of both. Horowitz's detractors, and even some of his friends, sometimes roll their eyes at his confrontational tactics and rhetoric.
But that doesn't mean he's wrong. Horowitz recently spoke at the University of California, San Diego. You can find an excerpt from his appearance on YouTube. In it, a young Muslim student from UCSD, Jumanah Imad Albahri, asks Horowitz to back up his attacks on the Muslim Students Association. Horowitz turned the tables on her. In less than two minutes, she revealed herself as a supporter of the terrorist group Hamas. Horowitz then noted that Hezbollah, another terrorist organization, wants all Jews to return to Israel so they can be more conveniently liquidated in one place. Horowitz asks Albahri whether she's for or against that proposition. She is "for it."
I asked UCSD, via e-mail, whether the woman in question was censured in any way for endorsing bigotry and genocide, or if the video was somehow misleading. In response, I received boilerplate about how, in the tradition of Aristotle, UCSD treasures "discourse and debate" and how "the very foundations of every great university are set upon the rock-solid principles of freedom of thought and freedom of speech."
I wrote back, in part: "Thank you for your response. I must say I find it fairly non-responsive. Out of curiosity, if a UCSD student publicly called for the extermination of gays and blacks, would this be your only response as well?"
I then received an even less responsive primer on how student groups are funded on campus.

good stuff. what site do you go to, to get the photos from the rookie premiere? I cant find them anywhere.
I like it alot, but when I put it on my desktop, it's a little too dark. Anyway you can make some of these kickass wallpapers, but a little lighter in color? I know I can do it on photoshop, but I just dont feel that it would be right to mess with your work. Thanx and good job.
I really like what you did with that. I've been waiting for the RP photos to make my next round of Pats walls. I love the background effect. Did you create it yourself through filters? I'd be interested to know the process, if you remember. I need to start tracking mine, I just mess around with it until I find something I like, and then I forget exactly how I got there. Bottom line, though, it looks great.
Well they seemed to have taken down the majority of the RP photos. Don't know why. Yes I created the background. I do all my own work. I used a combination of: Gradients, Brushes, Adjustment Layers, Opacities, Shapes and Blending Options. It's about 30 or so layers, lol. Thanks for the kind words. DW
Looks fine as my new wallapper. Thanks! BTW Can you release an edition proclaiming Chad Jackson's TIGHTNESS? LOL. JK. Well maybe...
Sure. I got some at Patriots Planet, but the mods here may not want me to post the link here. Mods, delete if you don't want me to post it here. http://www.patriotsplanet.net/html/Wallpaper.htm

It is easy to understand why "Boeing Boeing" became such a popular piece of French theater in the 1960's, with productions spanning fifty-five nations around the globe. Written by Marc Camoletti and translated by Beverly Cross, "Boeing Boeing" has crossed cultural boundaries to reveal and poke fun at universal truths of relationships and romantic behavior.
Though often included in the Theatre of the Absurd, Jean Genet has long struck me as one of the first post-modern playwrights. In several of his plays, he uses theatre itself – the playing of a role – as a metaphor for the human condition: metatheatre, if you will.

Hi: 11° Lo:2°
DISABLED people across Droitwich could face being cared for in residential or nursing homes after Worcestershire County Council's cabinet approved controversial spending cuts.
The authority gave the green light to its Usual Maximum Expenditure proposal which was first mooted earlier this year in a bid to save £125,000 a year.
Care in residential or nursing homes as opposed to people's own homes could now be a realistic prospect as the county council looks to cap the amount it contributes towards the overall cost of community care packages.
The funding looks to support people with disabilities to live at home but needed to be slashed in a bid to avoid a 'looming financial crisis', according to the council.
Residents will now be asked to meet any additional cost of care from their own savings or choose to take funding as a direct payment which would allow them to make their own care arrangements.
The council has stressed the limit will be assessed on each individual case and will not a blanket cap and existing users will not be affected under the proposals unless their care needs changed.
Coun Philip Gretton, cabinet member for Adult Social Care, said: "This is about supporting people to live the lives they want to live, which is often in their own homes, more cost effectively, for example looking at whether direct payments or modern technology can meet people's care needs at less cost.
"We are fully committed to supporting people to live independent lives for as long as it safe for them to do so, but we have to look more and more at doing this in the most cost effective way for all Worcestershire residents who have a call on our resources," he added.
Ann Montague-Smith, chair of Worcestershire LINk, said: "The fear we have is that even the slightest changes to the current care packages will impact on the clients funding.
"There must be stability in place with the current care packages and if there are changes then people clearly know what and when those changes will happen," she added.

Senior Stefan Mincey hopes to follow the path of his older brother, a former champion at Apple Valley.
John Redepenning of Rockford looked forward to more wrestling after beating Taylor Lewandowski of Foley in their Class 2A 160-pound match at the state meet at Xcel Energy Center.
Stephan Mincey is quite aware that this is his last shot.
The Simley senior 132-pounder wrestled at Apple Valley last year before moving to Inver Grove Heights with his father. His brother Matt was a three-time individual champion at Apple Valley, but circumstances never quite came together for Stephan, who is making his first individual state tournament appearance in the Class 2A field.
"In 10th grade, I was ranked No. 3 but I lost in the section finals," he said. "Last year, I had trouble making [weight at] 119 pounds and didn't get to wrestle much. So this year is very important."
Mincey battled nerves in his first-round match, hanging on at the end for a 5-2 victory over Mason Brownlee of Montgomery-Lonsdale/Le Center.
He then advanced into the semifinals with an 8-2 victory over Zach Baker of Detroit Lakes.
"My goal [was] to make it to the second day," he said. "It would have been bad to have been one-and-done."
Size mattersGabe Foltz of Detroit Lakes could not be happier that the weight classes were nudged upward this year.
Foltz is the only senior in the entire tournament at 106 pounds. He said that if the weight had stayed at 103 pounds, he might not have qualified.
"I probably would have wrestled at 112," said Foltz, who was ranked No. 4 in Class 2A at 106. "Those extra few pounds make a big difference."
Foltz lost to No. 5-ranked Anthony Luft of Worthington in the quarterfinals.
Battles among the bigsThe heavyweight field, considered the most competitive in the tournament, was thinned when Simley's Matt Kadrlik upset Kasson-Mantorville's Sam Stoll 4-3 in the first round. Stoll entered the tournament ranked No. 2.
Scott West senior Michael Kroells, ranked No. 1, earned two more pins, giving him five in five tournament matches heading into Saturday's semifinals, where he'll face the sixth-ranked Kadrlik.
The other half of the bracket pits defending champion Austin Goergen of Caledonia/Houston/Spring Grove against Dassel-Cokato's Brient Pokornowski.
In Class 1A ...A freak concussion ended Cooper Moore's state championship hopes in 2011.
Rather than sulk, the senior 170-pounder from Jackson County Central turned philosophical about it and, in the process, helped out younger brothers Keegan and Paden.
Keegan, an eighth-grade 138-pounder, and Paden, a freshman 145-pounder, won their opening-round matches.
"He's our role model," said Paden, who joins Cooper in Saturday's semifinals.
Star Tribune staff writer Brian Stensaas contributed to this report.

Stoke City (A) Wed 4 Mar 2015, 19:45, Barclays Premier League
Everton signed Gareth Barry on a permanent three-year deal in July 2014 following a successful loan spell the previous campaign.
The midfielder moved to Goodison Park after he ended his five-year association with Manchester City.
Vastly experienced, Barry is a Premier League winner and arrived on Merseyside with over 50 England caps and having captained his country.
Born in Hastings, he was part of Brighton's youth set-up before switching to Aston Villa and making his senior debut in central defence aged just 17.
He soon became a regular for the Midlands outfit, playing in central defence, at full-back and in midfield. Barry played in the 2000 FA Cup final and shortly afterwards won his first England cap after being called up by Kevin Keegan.
Named Villa's Player of the Season in 2006/07, Barry's performances were beginning to catch the eye of the country's biggest clubs.
After interest from Liverpool in 2008, he eventually joined Manchester City for £12million in 2009, becoming a regular straight away.
He started City's 2011 FA Cup final win over Stoke City and played in 34 of the 38 Premier League games the following season as the Citizens marched to the title.
Barry joined an elite club in surpassing 500 Premier League appearances during his first spell at Goodison, one which saw him score three goals in 37 outings and help the Blues seal a return to European competition for the first time since 2010.

A motorcyclist is having surgery tonight after a crash on the Fakenham bypass.
The male rider was airlifted to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital after he was involved in a crash with another car on the A148 between Creake Road and Trap Lane at around 3.30pm.
