Robinson target of complaint
Referred to Osborne House staff as 'do-good white people'
Deputy premier Eric Robinson has become the latest MLA to be put under the microscope for a comment he made concerning "do-good white people."
Robinson's choice of words in the Nov. 22 email are now the subject of a Manitoba Human Rights Commission complaint filed by Osborne House CEO Barbara Judt, the apparent target of what she calls Robinson's "racist attack."
Judt also said Robinson's comment and other dealings she's had with the province over the past few months over funding appears to be an "orchestrated effort" to get rid of her and her board.
"We just don't sit back like good little women," Judt said Friday. "We ask questions. We're shrewd businesspeople. They don't like that."
The matter goes back to last November, when the province learned through a report on the Free Press website local clothing store The Foxy Shoppe was holding a burlesque fundraiser with proceeds going to Osborne House.
Nahanni Fontaine, special adviser on aboriginal women's issues, fired an email to Robinson, concerned the event would tarnish Osborne House and its executive, including Judt.
The emails form part of a package of correspondence between senior government officials obtained through a freedom of information request filed by Judt last Dec. 19. They were leaked to Winnipeg media outlets Friday. Judt filed the request to find out what the province was saying about her and Osborne House and in particular Fontaine.
"This is SO bad and looks SO bad and is simply a bad idea on the part of the Osborne House ED (executive director)," Fontaine wrote to Robinson in a Nov. 22, 2012, email. "Like what was she thinking? Did the board approve this 'fundraiser' ?"
Robinson replied in a email two hours later, "I know nothing of this matter and haven't seen today's freep (Winnipeg Free Press) but I will now."
The remaining two sentences of Robinson's email were supposed to be blacked out.
However, clearly visible are the words: "On the surface it is not a very good idea and moreover further exploits an already vulnerable group in society. It also further demonstrates the ignorance of do-good white people without giving it a second thought."
When confronted by media on this choice of words, Robinson initially refused to apologize to Judt.
However, after his comment saw wide circulation in the media -- and pressure from the Progressive Conservative Opposition -- he issued a statement late Friday.
"The work Osborne House does is important for our community, especially aboriginal women who are suffering from the generational effects of discrimination and exploitation," Robinson said in a statement released through cabinet communications late Friday afternoon.
"I did not mean to offend anyone with the words I used. I still feel the event was in poor taste and could have been better thought out, given the clientele of Osborne House are women who have been exploited and victimized. Upon further reflection and discussion with the premier, the words I chose in the moment were regrettable, and for that I apologize."
Judt said she didn't expect Robinson's apology and will respond to it early next week. She said in hindsight, Fontaine and Robinson should have kept their mouths shut. "It's not the role of government to criticize like that," she said. "If they didn't agree with it (the burlesque show) maybe they should have done something to help."
She also said she would like to see a better working relationship with the province to resolve a funding impasse that has consumed much of the past few months.
The province funds Osborne House about $1.6 million annually and over the course of an average year the shelter helps about 9,200 women.
Judt said the issue with the province has to do with the number of counsellors it has on staff (12) and how they are funded. The result is the centre is about $150,000 short.
"Osborne House has felt the wrath of intimidation from senior level bureaucrats this past fiscal year," she said in a statement released Friday.
"We asked legitimate business-related questions, including why the Family Violence Prevention Program is demanding our volunteer board commit to taking on substantial personal debt instead of properly funding our operations and in return from government, we are the recipients of retaliation and bullying.
"This is exactly how our clients feel when they are in abusive relationships. Abusers pick away at their victims; nothing they do is right; they won't engage in discussion to resolve things; they pick fights and then blame the victim for everything."
Osborne House has also been subjected to two reviews ordered by the province this summer, one an update of an earlier internal review of labour-management relations and the other examining client services.
Judt said she wants the heavy-handedness of government to end.
"We want a change in mindset," she said. "We want to have a better relationship with the province. We've been asking the province for months to sit down and resolve these things so that everybody can get back to work."

I was extremely satisfied with the parts I ordered from PartsGeek, all the items ordered were an exact fit for the parts I was trying to replace. I had checked with several local auto parts businesses and none had the part and stated the parts could be ordered and would required several days for delivery. I received the parts from partsgeek within the same time and all the parts were well below the cost from auto parts stores. I saved in excess of $75.00 by using PartsGeek. Also their web site is user friendly and one of the best when comparing the parts to pictures in making sure what is being ordered matches the item needed. I have informed my co-workers and neighbors about partsgeek.com and plan to use this web/internet service when ordering future parts.

Critical Read
What: A NetApp-commissioned survey of IT decision makers and experts at federal agencies and systems integrators examining concerns about data storage. The survey was conducted by research firm Market Connections.
Why: System downtime is a big deal, whether it is planned or unplanned, especially for mission-critical systems that rely on an always-up IT infrastructure. The study examines the top data storage concerns among federal IT pros, chief among them data security itself: 59 percent felt data security was the biggest concern. Data loss, insufficient budget to meet mission needs, unplanned downtime and a lack of sufficient disaster recovery rounded out experts' biggest concerns.
Interestingly, 34 percent of respondents reported experiencing "one day or more" of unplanned downtime over the past 12 months. Such a high percentage experiencing downtimes surprised NetApp U.S. Public Sector President Mark Weber, but he said unexpected downtimes can often be attributed to human error, not just technology. In addition, unplanned downtime at respondents' organizations most often lasted zero to five hours. For large-scale agencies or government programs, five-hour downtimes could present serious problems for the public.
The survey also touches on data storage advancements such as software-defined storage and further explains the ramifications – in lost good will among customers and in a dollars-and-cents business approach – of poor data storage methods and downtimes.
Verbatim: "As IT infrastructures become more mission-critical and systems become increasingly complex, downtime becomes more disruptive to essential business operations. And then there are the network and power outages that cause unplanned downtime and data loss. Simply put, the risks associated with disruptions in service are too high. But downtime is a fact of life because applications and software require routine upgrades and maintenance to deliver the newest technologies.
"To ensure innovation, government agencies and systems integrators are collapsing data centers with the goal of saving money and building agile operations. In many instances, multiple departments share the same infrastructure, complicating scheduled downtime and making system refreshes and upgrades a challenge."

Screwed out of loot! Yes its another bug!
View Single Post
If you are stuck in mind trap no loot if it is looted before you are free, however we found if you exit the area and then run back, then lemming jump to your death and are then rezzed you can then loot the boss.
However last night we had most of the raid in mind traps or dead at the end. The problem was the 3 people left were all stuck in combat so we could not rez people. One by one we committed suicide to try and drop combat - however we were stuck in combat - so we had a boss with loot in it and everyone dead ( we didn't want to loot until everyone was back after having the bug you had last reset) but we had no way of getting from the top of his room to the bottom alive so he went unlooted this reset
As per usual the CS team have not answered tickets and when they do it will be along the lines of "we are sorry you had a problem, there is nothing we can do we will not refund or change item issues. Thanks for the report it has been sent to the correct department - we are now closing the ticket"
They need to extend the speeder route to the bottom of the room after Soa dies, or they need to add a lift - as it is at the moment is just stupid, even without the stuck in combat bug.
Repair bills are already stupid expensive in this game wihtout having to do lemming jmps to get your loot after already dying once.

ABSTRACT: Biological drugs opened up new horizons in the management of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). This study focuses on access to biological therapy in IBD patients across 9 selected Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, namely Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. Literature data on the epidemiology and disease burden of IBD in CEE countries was systematically reviewed. Moreover, we provide an estimation on prevalence of IBD as well as biological treatment rates. In all countries with the exception of Romania, lower biological treatment rates were observed in ulcerative colitis (UC) compared to Crohn's disease despite the higher prevalence of UC. Great heterogeneity (up to 96-fold) was found in access to biologicals across the CEE countries. Poland, Bulgaria, Romania and the Baltic States are lagging behind Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic in their access to biologicals. Variations of reimbursement policy may be one of the factors explaining the differences to a certain extent in Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland, but association with other possible determinants (differences in prevalence and incidence, price of biologicals, total expenditure on health, geographical access, and cost-effectiveness results) was not proven. We assume, nevertheless, that health deterioration linked to IBD might be valued differently against other systemic inflammatory conditions in distinct countries and which may contribute to the immense diversity in the utilization of biological drugs for IBD. In conclusion, access to biologicals varies widely among CEE countries and this difference cannot be explained by epidemiological factors, drug prices or total health expenditure. Changes in reimbursement policy could contribute to better access to biologicals in some countries.
Article: Diagnostic and clinical significance of Crohn's disease-specific anti-MZGP2 pancreatic antibodies by a novel ELISA.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We developed a new IgA and IgG anti-MZGP2 antibody ELISA based on recombinant isoform-4 of human zymogen granule protein-2 (GP2), which is the major autoantigen of Crohn's disease (CrD)-specific pancreatic autoantibodies and assessed their clinical relevance in the largest inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cohort tested to date. 832 sera were studied, including 617 consecutive IBD patients from 323 CrD and 294 ulcerative colitis (UC) followed-up in a tertiary centre, 112 pathological and 103 normal controls. Sensitivity of IgA anti-MZGP2 for CrD in the IBD population was 15% and specificity was 98%(95,99), while the sensitivity and specificity of IgG anti-MZGP2 was 27% and 97%. IgA and IgG anti-MZGP2 combined testing led to a sensitivity of 31% and specificity of 96%. Positivity for either ASCA (IgA or IgG) or anti-MZGP2 (IgA or IgG) showed a sensitivity of 75%(70,80) and specificity of 84%(79,89). IgA anti-MZGP2 antibodies were more prevalent in CrD patients with early disease onset (p=0.011). Also, anti-MZGP2 positive patients more frequently had extensive disease with ileal involvement. Patients with longer disease duration were more likely to have IgGanti-MZGP2 antibodies. Our novel ELISA confirms the high specificity of anti-MZGP2 antibodies for CrD and their association with disease severity phenotypes. Copyright © 2014.

Article: Adalimumab monotherapy versus combination therapy with immunomodulators in patients with Crohn's disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background and aims Combination therapy with infliximab and azathioprine has been shown to be superior to either treatment alone in Crohn's disease (CD). However, the benefit of combining adalimumab with an immunomodulator remains controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of adalimumab monotherapy with combination therapy for induction and maintenance of response and remission in CD using a meta-analysis of the current literature. Methods We performed a systematic literature search using Medline, Embase, Cochrane and several other databases. Prospective randomized controlled trials, retrospective cohort and case-controlled studies were included. The primary outcomes included induction of response and remission (up to week 12), maintenance of clinical response and remission (1 year) and the need for dose escalation. Several subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed. Results Eighteen out of 2743 retrieved studies were included. A meta-analysis of 7 studies assessing induction of remission (n = 1984) showed that ADA monotherapy was inferior to combination therapy [OR = 0.78 (0.64–0.96), p = 0.02]. A meta-analysis of 4 studies revealed that combination therapy was not statistically different from ADA for maintenance of remission [OR = 1.08 (0.79–1.48), p = 0.48]. Combination therapy was also not different from ADA monotherapy in terms of requirement for dose escalation [OR = 1.13 (0.69–1.85), p = 0.62]. Conclusions Combination therapy with ADA and immunomodulator was mildly superior to ADA monotherapy for induction of remission in CD. The rate of remission at 1 year and the need for dose escalation were similar in both groups. These findings should be interpreted with caution in view of possible confounders and should be further validated by randomized controlled trials.Journal of Crohn s and Colitis 12/2014; DOI:10.1016/j.crohns.2014.07.003 · 3.56 Impact Factor
Article: Costs and Resource Utilization for Diagnosis and Treatment During the Initial Year in a European Inflammatory Bowel Disease Inception Cohort: An ECCO-EpiCom Study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: No direct comparison of health care cost in patients with inflammatory bowel disease across the European continent exists. The aim of this study was to assess the costs of investigations and treatment for diagnostics and during the first year after diagnosis in Europe. The EpiCom cohort is a prospective population-based inception cohort of unselected inflammatory bowel disease patients from 31 Western and Eastern European centers. Patients were followed every third month from diagnosis, and clinical data regarding treatment and investigations were collected. Costs were calculated in euros (&OV0556;) using the Danish Health Costs Register. One thousand three hundred sixty-seven patients were followed, 710 with ulcerative colitis, 509 with Crohn's disease, and 148 with inflammatory bowel disease unclassified.

Article: P557 Antibody and cell-mediated immune response to whole virion and split virion influenza vaccine in patients with inflammatory bowel disease on maintenance immunosuppressive and biological therapy[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective. Influenza vaccination is recommended for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients on immunosuppressive therapy. The objective was to evaluate the antibody and cell-mediated immune response to the split and whole virion influenza vaccine in patients with IBD treated with anti-TNF-α and immunosuppressive therapy. Patients and methods.One hundred and fifty-six immunocompromised IBD patients were vaccinated. Fifty-three patients (control group) refused vaccination. Split virion vaccine and whole virion vaccine were used. Serum samples were obtained for pre- and postimmunization antibody titers to influenza vaccine (A/California/7/2009 [H1N1], A/Victoria/361/2011 [H3N2], B/Wisconsin/1/2010–like B/Hubei-Wujiagang/158/2009). Cell-mediated response was evaluated using an interferon (INF)-γ, interleukine (IL)-2 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α ELISA. Results. Postimmunization titers of both influenza subtypes increased significantly after the administration of split virion vaccines compared to the controls and to those who received whole virion vaccine. The antibody titers of Influenza B also increased significantly in patients immunized with split vaccine and treated with anti-TNF-α therapy. After influenza vaccination, the level of serum IL-2 significantly decreased. No serious side effects developed occurred after influenza vaccination, and the influenza-like symptoms did not differ significantly between vaccinated versus control patients. The relapse of the disease was observed in only 10% of the patients and was more common in vaccinated than in control subjects. Conclusion. Split virion vaccines seem to be more effective than whole virion vaccines. Measuring the antibody responses is worthwhile in patients treated with immunosuppressants to determine the efficacy of influenza vaccination.Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology 11/2014; 50(2).

Article: Age-related differences in presentation and course of inflammatory bowel disease: an update on the population-based literature[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Current data indicate a change in the epidemiology of inflammatory bowel diseases. The disease has become more widespread and the rise in the incidence has been reported in all age groups including early childhood and according to recent data also the elderly population. Some earlier studies have suggested that the phenotype and natural history of the disease may be different according to age of onset. Recently the importance of age at onset was reported in two population-based studies from France and Hungary including both paediatric and adult onset inception cohorts. Early onset disease was associated with more frequent disease extension in both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and in most but not all studies with higher frequency of complicated disease behaviour. This is also accompanied by striking differences in the medical management with earlier and more prevalent (2–3-fold) use of immunosuppressives and to some extent biologicals in patients with early compared to elderly-onset disease, especially in Crohn's disease. However, the results of population-based studies on impact of age on surgery rates in Crohn´s disease as well as ulcerative colitis are conflicting. Furthermore, published data indicate that relative but not absolute risk of developing cancer and mortality is higher in patients with an early onset disease. Critical reviews that focus on the importance of age at onset in inflammatory bowel disease are rare. Therefore, the aim of this review is to describe the differences in epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and natural history of paediatric and elderly-onset inflammatory bowel disease based on studies performed in general population.Journal of Crohn s and Colitis 11/2014; 8(11).

Article: Decreasing trends in hospitalizations during anti-TNF therapy are associated with time to anti-TNF therapy: Results from two referral centres[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Hospitalization is an important outcome measure and a major driver of costs in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. We analysed medical and surgical hospitalization rates and predictors of hospitalization before and during anti-TNF therapy. Methods: Data from 194 consecutive patients were analysed retrospectively (males, 45.4%, median age at diagnosis, 24.0 years, infliximab/adalimumab: 144/50) in whom anti-TNF therapy was started after January 1, 2008. Total follow-up was 1874 patient-years and 474 patient-years with anti-TNF exposure. Results: Hospitalization rates hospitalization decreased only in Crohn's disease (odds ratio: 0.59, 95% confidence interval: 0.51-0.70, median 2-years' anti-TNF exposure) with a same trend for surgical interventions (p = 0.07), but not in ulcerative colitis. Need for hospitalization decreased in Crohn's disease with early (within 3-years from diagnosis, p = 0.016 by McNemar test), but not late anti-TNF exposure. At logistic regression analysis complicated disease behaviour (p = 0.03), concomitant azathioprine (p = 0.02) use, but not anti-TNF type, gender, perianal disease or previous surgeries were associated with the risk of hospitalization during anti-TNF therapy. Conclusion: Hospitalization rate decreased significantly in patients with Crohn's disease but not ulcerative colitis after the introduction of anti-TNF therapy and was associated with time to therapy. Complicated disease phenotype and concomitant azathioprine use were additional factors defining the risk of hospitalization.Digestive and Liver Disease 08/2014; 46(11).

Article: Work disability and productivity loss in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases in Hungary in the era of biologics.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To assess work disability (WD) rates in an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cohort involving patients with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) cohort and to identify possible clinical or demographic factors associated with WD. To our knowledge, this is the first study from Eastern Europe that has estimated indirect costs in IBD. Data from 443 (M/F: 202/241, CD/UC: 260/183, mean age: 35.5 (CD) and 40.5 (UC) years, biological drug exposure 31.2/11.5 %) consecutive patients were included. WD data were collected by questionnaire and the work productivity and activity impairment instrument. Disability pension (DP) rates in the general population were retrieved from public databases. The overall DP rate in this IBD population was 32.3 %, with partial disability in 24.2 %. Of all DP events, 88.8 % were directly related to IBD. Overall, full DP was more prevalent in IBD (RR: 1.51, p < 0.001) and CD (RR: 1.74, p < 0.001) but not in UC compared to the general population and also in CD compared to UC (OR 1.57, p = 0.03). RR for full DP was increased only in young CD patients (RR<35 year olds: 9.4; RR36-40 year olds: 9.4 and 5.6, p < 0.01 for both). In CD, age group, previous surgery, disease duration, frequent relapses, and the presence of arthritis/arthralgia were associated with an increased risk for DP. Among employed patients, absenteeism and presenteeism was reported in of 25.9 and 60.3 % patients, respectively, leading to a 28 % loss of work productivity and a 32 % activity loss, and was associated with disease activity and age group. Average cost of productivity loss due to disability and sick leave with a human capital approach was 1,450 and 430 /patient/year in IBD, respectively (total productivity loss 1,880 /patient/year), the costs of presenteeism were 2,605 (SD = 2,770) and 2,410 (SD = 2,970) /patient/year in CD and UC, respectively. Risk of DP was highly increased in young CD patients (sixfold to ninefold). Previous surgery and presence of arthritis/arthralgia was identified as risk factors for DP. Work productivity is significantly impaired in IBD and is associated with high productivity loss.The European Journal of Health Economics 05/2014; DOI:10.1007/s10198-014-0603-7 · 2.10 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Ulcerative colitis (UC) presents as proctitis in approximately a quarter of the patients. It may progress into left-sided or extensive colitis in up to 50% of cases upon long-term follow-up. Areas covered: Currently available data on ulcerative proctitis are summarized and critically reviewed. Extensive literature search (MEDLINE) was performed to identify relevant articles up to March 2014. Expert opinion: The short-term goal of the treatment in UC is to induce remission, whereas long-term goals are to maintain remission and prevent disease progression. Topically administered 5-aminosalicylates (5-ASA) and corticosteroids are effective in the treatment of proctitis, although they seem to be underused in everyday practice. Locally administered 5-ASA preparations are more effective than oral compounds. The combination of topical and oral 5-ASA and steroids should be considered for escalation of treatment. Refractory patients should be re-evaluated to exclude for compliance failures, infections or proximal disease extent. True refractory or steroid-dependent patients may require immunomodulators or biological therapy. Alternative medicine can be used complementarily, while experimental approaches are reserved for patients failing conventional medication. Proctocolectomy may be the last resort of treatment. Upon long-term, 5-ASA maintenance treatment is indicated in all UC cases to prevent relapse and disease progression.Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy 05/2014; DOI:10.1517/14656566.2014.920322 · 2.86 Impact Factor

Article: Incidence rates and disease course of paediatric inflammatory bowel diseases in Western Hungary between 1977 and 2011[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background Limited data are available on paediatric inflammatory bowel diseases in Eastern Europe. Our aim was to analyse disease characteristics in the population-based Veszprem province database between 1977 and 2011. Methods 187 (10.5%, ulcerative colitis/Crohn's disease/undetermined colitis: 88/95/4) out of 1565 incident patients were diagnosed with a paediatric onset in this population-based prospective inception cohort. Results The incidence of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis increased from 0 and 0.7 in 1977–1981 to 7.2 and 5.2 in 2007–2011 per 100,000 person years. Ileocolonic location (45%) and inflammatory disease behaviour (61%) were most frequent in Crohn's disease, while azathioprine use was frequent (66%) and surgical resection rates were high (33% at 5 years) in cases with paediatric onset. In ulcerative colitis, 34% of patients were diagnosed with extensive disease, with high rates of disease extension (26% and 41% at 5 and 10 years), fulminant episodes (19.3%) and systemic steroid use (52.3%). The cumulative rate of colectomy was low (6.9%). Conclusions The incidence of paediatric inflammatory bowel diseases has rapidly increased in the last three decades in Western Hungary. Ileocolonic disease and a need for azathioprine were characteristic in paediatric Crohn's disease, while paediatric onset ulcerative colitis was characterised by extensive disease and disease extension, while the need for colectomy was low.Digestive and Liver Disease 05/2014; 46(5).

Article: Comparative statistical analysis of osteoporosis treatment based on Hungarian claims data and interpretation of the results in respect to cost-effectiveness.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The efficacy of interventions used in real life for the treatment of osteoporosis has not been evaluated on a national basis. We analysed the database of the single Hungarian health care provider between 2004 and 2010. A marked reduction in fracture incidence and hospitalization was seen, which also proved to be cost-effective. Osteoporosis and its consequences place a significant burden on the health care systems of developed countries. Present therapeutic modalities are effective in reducing the risk of fractures caused by osteoporosis. However, we do not know whether the interventions introduced in the past 15 years have significantly reduced the number of osteoporotic fractures in real life, and if yes, how cost-effectively. The database of the National Health Insurance Fund Administration in Hungary was analysed for the period between 2004 and 2010. Two specific patient groups were identified within the population. Patients, who were under osteoporosis treatment in more than 80 % of the potential treatment days in three consecutive years (patients with high compliance), were compared with patients where this ratio was under 20 % (patients with low compliance). Several statistical comparative models were implemented in order to capture a complete picture on the differences. Because of natural data heterogeneity of administration databases, propensity matching was applied as well. Comparing treated vs. control subjects, patients with high compliance showed a significant decrease in fracture risk and hospitalization, which was more robust after propensity adjustment. On the basis of the observed statistically significant differences, cost-effectiveness analysis was implemented. Utility loss due the observed fractures was compared with the total cost differences of the two arms based on modelling. Our calculations proved the cost-effectiveness of the long-term high compliance in real world settings. Our findings infer that the standardized and uniform health care of osteoporotic patients in a country may reduce general fracture incidence and hospitalization in a cost-effective way.Osteoporosis International 05/2014; DOI:10.1007/s00198-014-2733-2 · 4.04 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The spectrum of serological markers associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is rapidly growing. Due to frequently delayed or missed diagnoses, the application of non-invasive diagnostic tests for IBD, as well as differentiation between ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), would be useful in the pediatric population. In addition, the combination of pancreatic autoantibodies and antibodies against Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies/perinuclear cytoplasmic antibody (pANCA) improved the sensitivity of serological markers in pediatric patients with CD and UC. Some studies suggested that age-associated differences in the patterns of antibodies may be present, particularly in the youngest children. In CD, most patients develop stricturing or perforating complications, and a significant number of patients undergo surgery during the disease course. Based on recent knowledge, serum antibodies are qualitatively and quantitatively associated with complicated CD behavior and CD-related surgery. Pediatric UC is characterized by extensive colitis and a high rate of colectomy. In patients with UC, high levels of anti-CBir1 and pANCA are associated with the development of pouchitis after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Thus, serologic markers for IBD can be applied to stratify IBD patients into more homogeneous subgroups with respect to disease progression. In conclusion, identification of patients at an increased risk of rapid disease progression is of great interest, as the application of early and more aggressive pharmaceutical intervention could have the potential to alter the natural history of IBD, and reduce complications and hospitalizations.World Journal of Gastroenterology 05/2014; 20(17):4873-4882.

ABSTRACT: Serum antibodies have the potential role to assist in the diagnosis, disease stratification and prognostication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Understanding antibody formation might provide insight into the dysregulated immunological response to the gut microbiota in IBD. This review summarizes recent evidence regarding the role of serology in IBD. There is accumulating evidence from cross-sectional and longitudinal studies and from recent meta-analyses that supports the value of serological markers in identifying patients with complicated disease phenotype and increased risk of surgery in patients with Crohn's disease. Anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibody remains the most accurate single marker, and recently identified exocrine pancreas antibodies (GP2 and CUZD1) have been suggested as evidence for a role of antibodies in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease. Despite these various developments, the use of the serum antibodies remains complementary in clinical practice. New markers are being currently evaluated that may reflect events relevant to the pathogenesis of IBD.Current opinion in gastroenterology 05/2014; DOI:10.1097/MOG.0000000000000076 · 4.33 Impact Factor

As I've said before use weekly queues. Depending upon how many champions you want people to have you do extended rotations, so a weekly rotation is up for 2-3 weeks or however many heroes you want. Each week the oldest week gets moved out of the rotation and heroes from the new week are added.
This gives people time to get accustom to heroes they've never played, allows them to play with a selection they know, still adds value to riot selling heroes (which is lost if everyone gets all the heroes), still allows riot to showcase selections, and allows for a semi-balanced pick as per weekly pick.
The all heroes selection idea is stupid for a lot of the aforementioned reasons (like people having absolutely no experience with all the heroes and never getting them again).

Exclusive Photos From Bella Thorne's First School Dance!
Director Rupert Sanders didn't dictate how each character would be portrayed. Instead, he was open to sitting down with each cast member to develop the characters together.
Even though it was reported that Kristen hurt her hand and foot on the set (and as we told you, accidentally punched Chris Hemsworth in the face), she still has stunt doubles that look eerily like her!

Please clarify: Monarch food source v. host plant
Please clarify this for me. I just got an email from the "Defenders of Wildlife" and it makes a statement that the "...only food source" for the Monarch BF is the milkweed.
I *thought* I read it somewhere (here?) that the milkweed is one of many/several FOOD/NECTAR sources, but is actually the only HOST plant for egg laying.
Is this not correct?
To my knowledge monarch females lay eggs on milkweed, exclusively. When the caterpillars emerge, they eat milkweed leaves, and sometimes the flowers, as well. But they only feed on milkweed. There are lots of flowering plants that adult monarchs will go to for nectar, like purple coneflowers, silphium, monarda, and liatris.
There have been rare reports of monarch larvae eating pumpkin and squash, but none I've seen from credible sources.
most milkweeds are BOTH host and nectar source for monarchs.
Monarch adults nectar from many sources. Eric, are you sure about the monarda? we get a lot of monarch traffic and in 3 years of growing Monarda, I have NEVER seen a monarch on it. However, it is a favorite of both black and eastern swallowtails...also the hummingbirds.
Mona (runmede) did not post her monarchs eating pumpkins on this site (at least I don't remember it) but she did post it on Monarch Watch forum.
Here is a link that might be useful: Feeding 5th Instar Monarch Caterpillar Pumpkin
Too bad the wording was not crafted a little more carefully, you are probably not the only person confused by the email.
Re: Monarda - the only large butterfly I have seen nectaring on the Monarda is the Spicebush Swallowtail. Also they are the only large butterfly I've seen nectar regularly on Phlox paniculata and Lobelia cardinalis. Maybe they have a longer proboscis or something.
I think I read your question a little differently than others did. Maybe (probably) it's just me. LOL. The Monarch BUTTERFLY will nectar on many different flowers, so when you are speaking of "food" sources for these butterflies, there are many. However, the Monarch caterpillars require Milkweeds to munch. So then, food for the butterflies and food for the caterpillars are two separate issues. The "host" plant would be the one that the eggs would be laid upon and the caterpillars would consume. HTH :o)
KC, thanks for posting that link. I remember what my issue was with that report...
If it ONLY works with 5th instar cats, then are they REALLY eating it or were they just ready to pupate anyway?
notice there are no follow-up posts saying "YES!" I tried this and it works!
Call me skeptical, but I don't buy it.
I also read that they will eat watermelon. Actually tried that and all they did was crawl off it in search of more milkweed.
If anyone else has tried pumpkin or watermelon and had success please share.

I hear alot about how the .22 conversion kits are not accurate out of a 1:7 barrel much past 30 yards . Whats inaccurate to you ?
Both of these targets were 60 yards on 3.0" dots 1:7 twist barrel . 25 rounds in the top one and 10 rounds in the bottom target . Had a couple flyers that was my fault on the 25 rds. but I dont think there is anything not accurate about this , no keyholeing. I layed down about 450 rds of .22 lr today . Next time out I will give 100 yards a shot and see how it groups .
Its going to be a squirrel slaying machine this season
