Diving Points
Those who want to learn diving can apply to the diving training boats at the pier. Diving lessons are given by licensed divers on these tours. There are 52 diving points around Marmaris which is one of the important regions of Turkey from the point of diving tourism.
Some diving points worth seeing around Marmaris are as follows:
Sari Mehmet Promontory: The promontory and its bay which is between Turunç and Içmeler, is a beautiful diving point for diving lessons and experienced divers. It has a rocky structure of 5 to 21 m in depth.
Goat Island Lighthouse: It is the promontory where the lighthouse is located when sailing out to the open sea from Marmaris. The diving point starts from 8-10m, descending to 38m, pleasurable to the experienced diver.
Ince Burun Lighthouse is located at side of the Yildiz Island facing Marmaris Bay. Underwater sight is poor compared to open sea diving points. Ranging between 3m to 38m, this place has a real tropical sea view.
Hayitli Burun: Located opposite to the Goat Island Lighthouse at the exit of Marmaris. Named as a Reef by the divers, it is an easy point for boats to drop anchor.
Abdi Reis Bay: Located at the open sea side of Yildiz Island. It is a beautiful diving point named Aquarium by the divers due to the clearness of the water.
Yazih Kaya: A diving point of 3m to 30-32m in depth on the open sea side of Yildiz Island.
Baca Cave : Most famous cave in Marmaris, definitely attracting the attention of underwater photographers.
Aksu Bay: On the open sea side of Yildiz Island, the color changes to dark blue when diving deeper which excites divers. This diving point is good for training dives, experienced divers and for those who stay on the boat and don't wish to dive but simply enjoy the magnificent scenery and relax.
Kütük Burnu: 0 to 52 m in depth, is very convenient for wall diving. A fascinating bottom may tempt divers to go beyond limits. Divers should be careful at this point.
Kadirga Bay : Located at the furthest point to Marmaris, at the rocks opposite Kadirga Lighthouse. It has a beautiful Reef 0 to 38-40m in depth.
Enjoy it !!!! -
Fishing with "A catch guaranteed or your money back" = Well it could only be done in Turkey = sounded too good to be true! I have to say what a knowlegable captain and help from his first mate were the FINDING NEMO BOAT CREW! We went initially on a 3 hours fishing trip cost about £ 25 each fisher was half price for the Non Fishers - this included rod, bait and the obligatory Fishing Licence. What a great time we had! The boat was comfortable with sun and shaded areas and plenty of choice of drinks, they had a toilet and had all the correct legal stuff Insy=urances, safety licences etc. We all caught loads of fish thanks to the explanation how to Fish in Turkey 2 of us hadnt fished before = everyone is hooked literally now = so much so we booked for the Full day private Trip the next week!
The full day we combined with snorkeling and fishig the captain taking us to some greats spots for both, we snorkeled in a cave and over some ship wrecks and we fished in some beautiful loaction in middle of the bay at about 38meters and aslo in the shollows, catching a wide variety of species. Captian Nemo cooked the Red snapper we caught and served it to us in a lovely quiet bay with no other boats about = Bliss. His food was to die for = nice to have real Turksih food too! We did some sightseeing and had the boat all to ourselves, it really was the best Day of our Holiday!
Equipment: No need to bring your own gear, Fishing rods are included in the Fishing Trip price but you are welcome to bring your own too!

The Best Marina in the Eastern Mediterranean
Marmaris town is located at the south-western corner of Turkey where coastal shoreline provides some of the most beautiful and unspoilt cruising spots in the world. Here you may find many opportunities for day sailing and cruising . The geographical location of the town is 36° 51'N, 28° 16 'E and Netsel Marina is built right next to the old town. Marmaris is sixty miles , one and half hour drive over pine covered hills to Dalaman International Airport. The Island of Rhodes is only 25 miles away to the south
Equipment: Two concrete block breakwaters enclose a total area of nearly one hectar providing easily accessible berthing of yachts up to 40 meters L . O . A . The marina features a floating concrete docking system where yachts are tied stern to. Berths are spacious enough to allow berth holderss to sail their boats whenever they wish. The piers are made of Swedish patented floating concrete pontoons, firmly anchored to concrete blocks for safe mooring . The Marina provides all weather protection for over 750 yachts.
Berths may be reserved or confirmed by telephone , fax or post and by the completion and signature of our standart mooring contract along with payment of applicable berthing fees in advance.- Sailing and Boating
Dive in Marmaris
Scuba diving around Marmaris is highly recommended. You can find your divemaster through an agency (cheaper) or at the pier in Marmaris. I can recommend diving with Barakuda Brothers.
Equipment: They offer all the equipment you may need - from beginners to advanced divers. They do not have NITROX, however.- Diving and Snorkeling
Diving sites
Since it was my first dive, I can't really complain, I don't have any point of comparison. However my friends who were already much more experienced were quite deceived, they were promised a wreck and a cave but at the end, they haven't seen anything...
What I can say is that the first site was full of nice different fishes. The second one was already much less fishy and our monitor had to play some tricks to keep us busy...
Again I'm not complaining, for me it was a great way to discover scuba diving! However it is true that what we have seen is not really different of what I have seen later on by snorkeling in some other creeks... -
Diving initiation
A really great experience!! For about 40€, you can dive two times. A first one in the morning and another one in the afternoon.
A monitor will be assigned to two newbies and he will always keep them hands in hands... You could find that quite frustrating, sometime you'd rather go on your own, but at least, that's much more secure like that...
I found the first dive quite stressing (although you don't go below 10 meters deep) but I was much more relaxed for the second one and really enjoyed it...
Obviously since this is designed for tourist, if you agree (but can you say no?) they'll take these nice low quality pictures of you, you have to buy later on... I'm not complaining, that's a rather great memory ;-)
Equipment: Just your swimming bath, everything else is provided.- Diving and Snorkeling

Four years of rock-bottom interest rates: savers paying the price for 0.5% base rate that indulged borrowers
Monday 4th March marks exactly four years since the Bank of England base rate was cut to its current record low level of 0.5 per cent.
The latest market predictions are for no rise in rates for years to come and zero, even negative, rates are being openly discussed by policymakers as a measure to breathe life into the flat-lining economy.
The 0.5 per cent base rate has meant the cost of borrowing on mortgages and personal loans has fallen dramatically, while savings rates have shriveled horribly. Here we run through the impact of the Bank of England's loose monetary policy in more detail.
Bank of England: The base rate is used by high street banks to set their own interest rates for customers
Four years of a record low base rate has been predictably damaging for savers, with average rates currently lower than they have ever been, according to MoneySupermarket. Savers have consistently struggled to find accounts that beat inflation.
For a period, savers were benefiting from rates over six times that of base rate. In December 2011 the average rate of the five highest paying easy access accounts hit 3.09 per cent, but rates have dropped by over a third since then to just 1.93 per cent currently.
It's a similar story with easy access Isa savings rates, which have fallen to 2.43 per cent from a high of 3.29 per cent in April 2009.
The low base rate has been compounded by other Bank of England measures to encourage lending and borrowing.
Losing money: Savers can still benefit by switching to market-leading deals - but you have to be pro-active
'The introduction of the Government's Funding for Lending Scheme (FLS) has been a double whammy, with rates plummeting by a third since the middle of last year alone,' said Kevin Mountford, head of banking at MoneySupermarket. 'Savers have to look at alternative ways of maximising returns, such as offsetting, investments and peer-to-peer lending.
'However, with the majority of savings sat on low interest rates, savers can still benefit from switching to market-leading deals. People need to be prepared to switch if they are not currently on the most competitive deal, especially as the majority of savings are sitting in accounts paying a derisory rate of interest.
'It is also important to check your rate if you signed up to an account offering a bonus rate, as there are many deals coming to an end shortly, meaning you could be left on a very uncompetitive rate.
'And if you are a UK taxpayer, then using your tax free ISA allowance should be the first port of call for savers looking to limit the impact of inflation.'
Mortgage borrowers
Mortgage borrowers have fared much better. Standard variable rates (SVR) have tumbled and average two-year tracker rates are around 2 per cent above base rate, 0.81 per cent lower than in March 2009, according to analysis by HSBC.
Good times? Despite the improving mortgage deals, only 7 per cent of people said they are better off due to lower rates
For fixed mortgages, average rates on two and three-year fixed rate mortgages have also declined to record lows of 2.34 per cent for a two-year fix, and 2.89 for a three-year fix. This is a drop of 1.45 per cent and 1.63 per cent respectively since March 2009.
While rates in general are lower, there a large differences in outcomes for different borrowers, depending on whether, and when, they fixed their rate.
Borrowers who opted for a fixed rate mortgage in 2008 when the average rate was still 5.83 per cent would have paid £9,408 more in interest over the period compared to those on a tracker mortgage.
Had they fixed in March 2009, when rates fell for the last time, the difference is slightly less; the average tracker rate of 2.86 per cent compares with the average fixed at 4.32 per cent - so the latter would have paid around £1,510 per year extra.
Those borrowers who reverted to a capped Standard Variable Rates (SVRs) on offer from some lenders have done particularly well, paying as little as 2.5 per cent for the remaining term on their loan.
Mortgage 'prisoners'
Despite improving rates, only 7 per cent of respondents in the poll said they were better off due to lower mortgage rates. As well as those fixed into higher rates, some have been unable to move to a new deal because house price falls have eroded the equity they hold.
Clare Francis, MoneySupermarket's mortgage expert, said: 'On the face of it borrowers are the winners, with the number of products available increasing by 37 per cent over the last seven months as a result of the FLS.
'However, this doesn't tell the full story, as many borrowers have been locked out of the market for much of the credit crunch due to falling house prices and the reluctance of lenders to lend, particularly to anyone with smaller deposits.
'FLS has helped though, and over recent weeks we have seen average rates for fixed rate products hit an all-time low.'
According to HSBC, 839,000 mortgage borrowers currently have insufficient equity to move onto a better deal. Falling house prices in some areas mean these 'mortgage prisoners' have seen the equity in their property decline, meaning they have missed out on the lower rates available during the low base rate years.
Regional House Price Divide
Homeowners in the south have seen the biggest gain since the base rate moved to 0.5 per cent, with property values rising in every borough of the South East, London and East of England and all but two areas in the South West (Torbay and Cornwall) over the past four years.
There are 13.2million households in areas where house prices have risen.
Peter Dockar, HSBC's head of mortgages, commented: 'Some homeowners have gained from owning property in the right area, or already having sizeable equity in their home, which has given them access to low loan-to-value (LTV) mortgage rates.'
Borrowers who have been able to take advantage of low LTV rates (lower than 75 per cent) have paid a collective £4.2billion a year less in interest in the last four years compared to rates available with a higher LTV (higher than 85 per cent). For a two year mortgage on the average property, this is an annual interest saving of £1,012 per mortgage.
Show me the money: On loans over £7,500 the current lowest rate is 5.1 per cent APR, compared with 7.9 per cent four years ago
Personal loans and credit cards
For those looking for borrow more than £7,500 on a personal loan, there have been significant savings over the past four years, says MoneySupermarket.
The current lowest rate is 5.1 per cent APR, while in March 2009 the best deal was 7.9 per cent APR. Although rates on personal loans below £7,500 remain expensive, the current average rate on the top 10 £5,000 personal loans is 7.56 per cent, compared to 9.23 per cent in March 2009.
Borrowers looking to transfer existing debts to a market-leading credit card have been able to benefit from some of the longest balance transfer deals on record.
The current average 0 per cent balance transfer length is 24.4 months compared to just 14.7 months back in March 2009 - which was still 18 months into the credit crunch. However, the average rate on credit cards has gone up by 1.47 per cent to 17.56 per cent APR currently.
Kevin Mountford said: 'Personal loan rates have fallen dramatically but it is worth being aware that the best deals are generally only available to consumers with excellent credit histories.
'Before applying for a loan, or for any credit product, it's a good idea to check your credit history so you have a clearer idea of the products you are more likely to be accepted for based on your credit score.
'Additionally, we know that apathy often reigns with many credit card holders who are happy to languish on high interest rates with their existing provider. With rates on the up, it is essential customers review their card from time to time to assess whether it still suits their needs.'

Monroe Central's Alex Ordonez admitted a large part of his involvement in wrestling comes from following in the footsteps of his father.
Oscar Ordonez wrestled at Drake University, twice reaching the NCAA championships in 1978 and 1979. His two brothers wrestled at Illinois and Eastern Illinois, where Al Ordonez was a three-time Division II All-American. And the family even includes wrestlers on Alex Ordonez's mother's side.

July 11, 2007 (first posted June 27th 2001)
Sorry, I'm a bit late this week, but I have been busy. This past week (Thurs. thru Sun.) I worked 4 shots for Stampede Wrestling. It was the most active wrestling week I've had in almost a year. Even when WCW was up and running, we seldom ran more than 2 or three days in a row, and of late, due to the shut down, I've been even less active than that. On top of the Stampede shows I had to fly to New York to be at RAW and Smackdown and as luck would have it I am still on the road now. It was like stepping back in time, doing the Stampede shows. Working towns that I worked when I first broke in and even seeing some of the boys that I worked with, way back when. It reminded me of the expression, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." It was good both physically and mentally for me. I needed to get back in the ring and really work, to remind my body what it was like, and to make sure my body was in good enough shape to make it through a hard worked match. I've been running on the treadmill, while I've been off, but it's not the same thing as working in the ring. Of the four shows Friday and Saturday where the best, they had the better crowds and I had my best performances. I wrestled Chris Daniels all four nights, at my request; I had wanted to wrestle Chris since I first met him in ECW and this was my chance. I figured he would be safe and worked regularly enough to test my conditioning. I was right on both counts and Chris and I gelled well right from the start. I was very conscious about pacing myself but by the second night didn't have to hold back at all. The hardest part of the matches was actually adjusting to being a baby face again. After about 3 years as a heel I don't much care for being a baby face and I found the transition a bit difficult. Your mind set and repertoire changes when you are a heel and switching it back takes a bit. It was funny, right before our first show I mentioned to Chris that I hate being a face and he looked at me with a very concerned expression on his face and asked, "You aren't planning on making me the baby face are you?" I looked at him and laughed and said, "no" but for the split second he thought I was going to try and make him get over as the face in my hometown. Actually it would have been a fun test to try to see if we could do it. Anyway the matches went real well and the crowd seemed to like them. My thanks to everyone who showed up, (especially the girls from Arizona, who made the drive to Calgary to see the shows), Chris for making me work and giving me good matches, Michael Modest for coining the title "Lure Mogul", and last but not least the "Indy Parking Lot Sweeper" for giving Chris, Mike and I one of the best laughs we've ever had. Look for her in a parking lot near you she is Tremendous! The last show on Sunday is where things really got busy for me. I had to go on first because I had a red eye flight out that night to New York. I wrested the opener, showered, hopped in my car and raced back to Calgary. (The Sunday show was in Drumheller, which is about an hour and 45-minute drive from Calgary). I made the airport in time and flew all night to get to Madison Square Garden by 10 am. The rest of the boys didn't have to be there until 1pm so I had time for a short nap before everyone arrived. I didn't do anything on the shows, but I did get a chance to get in the ring, before hand, to better acclimatize myself with the much bigger WWF rings. It was cool being in what is likely the most famous arena in the world, but after being up for almost 2 full days and having to get up early everyday since, I'm wearing out and in need of rest. So on that note I'm going to rap this commentary up. It's not my best work, but as I said previously I'm really tired and need to go to bed. Till next week, good night! Lance

Customer Rating 1 5 Ridiculous piece of equipment
I was told how this was one of the top picks for their customers and now i understand why. This Beverage air deep well horizontal bottle cooler looks and works great behind my bar. 65" is not too small or too big, blends right in. The storage capacity is ridiculous, i can fit almost any amount of bottle or glasses into this unit.

Juan Atkins (born December 9, 1962) is an American musician. He is widely credited as the originator of techno music,[1] specifically Detroit techno along with Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson. The three, sometimes called the Belleville Three, attended high school together in Belleville, Michigan, near Detroit.
Early life[edit]
Born in Detroit, Michigan, the son of a concert promoter, Juan Atkins learned how to play bass, drums, and "a little lead guitar" at an early age.[2] Atkins, along with school friends Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, tuned in regularly to WGPR to hear DJ Charles "The Electrifying Mojo" Johnson's genre-defying radio show.
At the age of sixteen, Atkins heard electronic music for the first time, which would prove to be a life-changing experience. In late-1990s interviews, he recalls the sound of synthesizers as being like "UFOs landing." He soon had his first synthesizer and abandoned playing funk bass.[3]
" | When I first heard synthesizers dropped on records it was great… like UFOs landing on records, so I got one.…It wasn't any one particular group that turned me on to synthesizers, but 'Flashlight' (Parliament's number one R & B hit from early 1978) was the first record I heard where maybe 75 percent of the production was electronic.[4] | " |
Deep Space Soundworks & Cybotron[edit]
He bought his first analogue synthesizer, a Korg MS-10, and began recording with cassette decks and a mixer for overdubs. He subsequently taught Derrick May to mix, and the pair started doing DJ sets together as Deep Space. They took their long mixes to Mojo, who began to play them on his show in 1981.[5] Atkins, May, and Saunderson would continue to collaborate as Deep Space Soundworks, even starting a club in downtown Detroit for local DJs to spin and collaborate.
The 1982 single "Cosmic Cars" also did well. Cybotron recorded their debut album, Enter, and were soon signed to Fantasy Records. One track, "Clear," struck out in the direction that Atkins would pursue with what would later be called his "techno" music. The song took Kraftwerk-like electronic elements and fused them with club music.
Atkins considered Cybotron's most successful single, "Techno City" (1984), to be a unique, synthesized funk composition.[6] After later hearing Afrika Bambaataa's "Planet Rock" (1982), which he considered to be a superior example of the electro funk style he was aiming for, he resolved to continue experimenting, and encouraged Saunderson and May to do the same.[6]
In 1985, Atkins left the group due to artistic differences with bandmate Rik Davis. Davis wanted the group to pursue a musical direction closer to rock, while Atkins wanted to continue in the electro-style vein of "Clear".[7]
Model 500[edit]
Atkins began recording as "Model 500" in 1985 and founded the Metroplex label. His friends Eddie Fowlkes, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson all recorded singles on the label.
Atkins' first single as Model 500, "No UFOs," was a hit in Detroit and Chicago. He followed it with a series of landmark techno tracks, earning him the nickname "the godfather of techno."[8] Within a few years, Atkins' work was re-released in Europe.
Over the years, Atkins has also released works under the name Infiniti, Infiniti consists of Juan Atkins & Orlando Voorn. He explained the difference in a 2007 interview: "Model 500 is really a continuation of Cybotron. That's one thing that I've always stayed the course with and I've always wanted to not deviate when I do stuff with Model 500. In the past year it's probably what Cybotron would have done had the partners not split. Its more song-oriented with melodies, not just dance track - that's always been my experiences with Model 500. Now if I do stuff under the name Infinity [sic], that would be the more straightforward form of pure techno, the purest techno what is deemed as techno right now in North America and in Europe."[9]
Musical style[edit]
Atkins' earlier works are generally considered electro. Over the years, his sound matured and grew in complexity, and many of his more recent works are heavily layered rhythmic soundscapes. Today, this techno is considered its own genre.
Atkins and other Techno artists have cited the long-running Detroit radio show of Charles "Electrifyin' Mojo" Johnson as a musical influence.[10] Mojo, a local legend in radio, played an eclectic mix of music including Parliament, Kraftwerk, and Prince. Atkins and May got their start recording from the radio and remixing for the radio, specifically, Mojo's show; after this apprenticeship, they began producing original music.
The Detroit Sound[edit]
"Maybe techno coming out of Detroit had more of the black experience involved, and of course what we've grown up with is soul music and R&B stuff, and then there's funk itself," Atkins told Melbourne magazine Zebra in 1999. "It would be only natural that more of these elements would show up." [11]

At the time, he believed the record was a unique and adventurous piece of synthesiser funk, more in tune with the rest of black America, but on a dispiriting visit to New York, Juan heard Afrika Bambaataa's 'Planet Rock' and realised that his vision of a spartan electronic dance sound had been upstaged. He returned to Detroit to renew his friendship with 2 younger students from Belleville High, Kevin Saunderson and Derrick May, and quietly over the next few years the three of them became the creative backbone of Detroit Techno.

I would have thought this issue had been discussed, but I couldn't find it in the archives.
What oil should one use on a muzzleloading blackpowder rifle? I would assume that regular gun oils (CLP, et al) would do bad things if they contacted powder. do you leave any oil in the bore or flash hole area? |

I'm probably alone on this, but... I don't use any. I shoot a stainless steel sidelock, and have had nothing but reliability problems when I use even small amounts of oil. I scrub like crazy, then warm my barrel by the oven to get rid of moisture after cleaning. I could never get all of the oil out of the weapon, and I hated having an odd number of caps left after snapping them to clear the nipple.

i'm no whizz at black powder but when i started a while back i sought advice from some of the black powder sites and one thing i remember reading over and over is do not put any petroleum based lubes in your barrel. i think they increase fowling dramatically .As a matter of fact i remember cleaning mine w/boiling water and dawn dishwashing detergent to get it all out before i shot my first time....i use something called Bore butter to lube mine up after shooting...I think thompson makes it....Dick

I have used Shooter's Choice Rust Prevent on blackpowder guns (after cleaning) for many years with complete satisfaction. It dries to a film and does as good a job at preventing rust as anything I have used. I run dry patches through the bore before shooting and QTips in the cleanout as well. No problems with ignition or fouling in flintlock or percussion guns. Sentry Products Tuffcloth is also excellent on the exterior sufaces. It leaves a dry film of some sort. Rob

Get yourself some Ballistol....use it for lubing and cleaning...the more you use it, the better it works.

Metastatic Breast Cancer Updates
Author: Benyam Muluneh, PharmD, CPP; David N. Luter, PharmD; and Elizabeth Rowe, PharmD
Incremental gains in survival and new targeted agents in the pipeline offer promise.
Breast cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women, with an estimated 1 in 8 (12%) being diagnosed with invasive breast cancer during their lifetime.
In 2013, it is estimated that 230,000 women will get diagnosed and nearly 40,000 will die from breast cancer. Despite these staggering numbers, the incidence of breast cancer has actually been dropping steadily since the early 2000s after the landmark Women's Health Initiative study linking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to the development of breast cancer.
In addition to HRT, other risk factors for the development of breast cancer are increased biological exposure to estrogen, such as increasing age, early menarche, late menopause, nulliparity, and first birth after 30 years of age.
There are also genetic risk factors, such as mutations with the BRCA gene, that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of breast cancer.
As we continue to better our understanding of the biomolecular markers of breast cancer, treatment has been better individualized in order to achieve maximum therapeutic benefit with minimal toxicity.
The biological features and extent of the disease guide the treatment options for breast cancer. Tumor specimen is used to determine the molecular markers such as ER (estrogen receptor), PR (progesterone receptor), and HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor) status. ER/PR status is determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing. Hormone receptor– positive patients will likely receive an anti-estrogen therapy with selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) or aromatase inhibitors (AIs). Although HER2 positivity is considered more aggressive in the natural progression of breast cancer, the availability of targeted therapy has made the prognosis much more favorable over the past several years.
Treatment of breast cancer is generally divided into localized and metastatic disease. In localized disease, the goal of treatment is long-term survival with breast-conserving surgical resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy to eliminate residual tumor cells. Women with localized breast cancer have a favorable prognosis with treatment options that have generally remained the same over the past several years. In metastatic disease, the goal is primarily to delay disease progression and preserve quality of life by using chemotherapy agents with favorable toxicity profiles. The 5-year overall survival for metastatic breast cancer is less than 25%; thus, treatment continues to evolve with the development of unique therapeutic strategies.
The principles of treatment for localized and metastatic breast cancer are outlined in Tables 1 and 2, respectively.
Evolution in Treatment
Over the past few years, there have been innovative approaches to improving survival in metastatic breast cancer patients. Table 2 outlines newer treatment options categorized by HER2 and hormone receptor positivity.
HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
Pertuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks HER2 receptors at different subdomains, allowing it to be synergistic with trastuzumab. Baselga and colleagues conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients who had not yet received therapy. Patients were randomized to a placebo, trastuzumab, and docetaxel combination group or to a pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and docetaxel group.
The primary end point, progression-free survival (PFS), was significantly improved in the pertuzumab group compared with the placebo group (18.5 months versus 12.4 months; hazard ratio 0.62; confidence interval 0.51 to 0.75; P <0.0001). Despite a strong trend toward an improvement in the overall survival (23.6% vs 17.2% in the pertuzumab and placebo arms, respectively), this was not statistically significant.
The pertuzumab combination is now considered the gold standard for first-line therapy in patients who are diagnosed with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer.
T-DM1 (ado-trastuzumab emtansine)
T-DM1 is an antibody-drug conjugate which has DM1, a cytotoxic drug, bound to trastuzumab, which allows for targeted delivery of chemotherapy to HER-2 positive breast cancer cells (Online Figure 1). Hurvitz and colleagues conducted a phase II open-label, randomized trial (n = 137) in HER2-positive unresectable, advanced breast cancer without prior chemotherapy or trastuzumab for metastatic disease. Patients were assigned to T-DM1 or trastuzumab and docetaxel and treated until disease progression. Results showed T-DM1 had significant improvement in progression-free survival over trastuzumab (14.2 months vs 9.2 months). Overall survival was similar between the 2 groups. Based on these data, T-DM1 could be considered a suitable first-line option in advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
Figure 1: Mechanism of TDM-1
Also, in the phase III EMILIA trial, 991 women with metastatic breast cancer who had failed a taxane and trastuzumab combination were randomized between T-DM1 or lapatinib and capecitabine. This study by Verma and colleagues found median PFS was 9.6 months in the T-DM1 arm versus 6.4 months in the lapatinib and capecitabine arm (P <0.001), which had been a preferred option in metastatic breast cancer as a second-line option.
ER/PR-Positive Breast Cancer
Patients presenting with metastatic hormone receptor positive breast cancer typically receive anti-estrogen therapy as first line. These include agents such as aromatase inhibitors (anastrozole, letrozole, exemestane), estrogen receptor modulators (tamoxifen), and estrogen receptor downregulators (fulvestrant). Over time, the majority of patients will develop resistance to hormonal treatment. Recently there has been development of strategies to improve initial response to therapy in order to overcome or delay resistance. Two of these strategies include dual anti-estrogen therapy and estrogen therapy in combination with mTOR inhibitors.
Dual Anti-Estrogen Therapy
Regimens evaluated for combination endocrine therapy include fulvestrant and anastrozole in women with advanced breast cancer. Fulvestrant binds to estrogen receptors, causing downregulation and degradation, while anastrozole is a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor that blocks the conversion of androgens to estrogens. Both drugs work to reduce the malignancy's exposure to estrogen, thereby inducing apoptosis and cell death.
In the FACT study, pre- and post-menopausal women with ER/PR-positive breast cancer who received a gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist with first relapse were randomized to anastrozole alone or anastrozole plus fulvestrant. The combination group failed to show any significant difference in time to progression or overall survival.
A contradictory second study looked at the combination of anastrozole and fulvestrant in postmenopausal women and found that those in the combination group had a significant longer PFS (15 vs 13.5 months, P = 0.007) and improved overall survival.
A meta-analysis of these 2 articles found marginal benefit in response rate, PFS, and overall survival which failed to reach statistical significance. Because of the conflicting data, combining anastrozole and fulvestrant is not a preferred mode of therapy.
mTOR Inhibitors
Upregulation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway and the mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/mTOR) pathway has been implicated in the intrinsic and acquired resistance of breast cancer to endocrine therapy and HER2-targeting agents. Recent studies have looked at the use of mTOR inhibitors, such as everolimus and temsirolimus, to either improve initial outcomes of endocrine therapy or overcome resistance in hormone receptor positive breast cancer. The most promising data come from the BOLERO-2 trial, which randomized women with advanced breast cancer to receive exemestane alone or exemestane plus everolimus. These patients had progressed through previous therapy with non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors.
Addition of everolimus to exemestane was shown to significantly improve PFS; however, patients in the combination group experienced significantly more side effects, including stomatitis, anemia, dyspnea, hyperglycemia, fatigue, and pneumonitis.
The addition of everolimus to tamoxifen has also been shown to improve PFS in patients who progressed on AI therapy when compared with tamoxifen alone.
However, another study of first-line treatment of advanced or metastatic breast cancer in AI-naive patients was stopped early when the addition of temsirolimus to letrozole had no significant difference in progression free survival when compared with letrozole alone. Currently, this strategy is reserved in the second-line setting for women with hormone receptor positive metastatic disease that have failed at least 1 line of therapy.
Future Strategies
Several targeted agents are currently in the pipeline for the treatment of breast cancer.
As we have learned more details about tumor biology, we have discovered several potential targets that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. Table 3 summarizes the current classes of agents in development that will continue to revolutionize the way we manage advanced-stage breast cancer. The use of these novel agents, as well as the ones discussed here, in earlier stages of breast cancer is currently a question of interest. This strategy would lead to declining rates of relapse and progression into advanced stage disease, which has a much less favorable long-term survival. Despite the challenges of metastatic breast cancer, we are encouraged by the incremental gains in survival over the past several years and eagerly wait for a breakthrough that will hopefully lead to a cure by blocking key steps in the disease development process.

Cross Country Hopes New Teams Repeat Past Success
On the men's side, a strong and experienced trio leads a large group of runners.
Junior Ed May (Bryantown, Md./LaPlata), junior Sid Bittinger (Midland, Md./Westmar) and senior Brian Bonn (Glen Burnie, Md./Glen Burnie) each have all-region potential.
May took home AMCC Runner of the Year honors last year after winning the AMCC championship in 28:24. He then finished 39th out of 249 runners at the NCAA Mid-East Regional in 27:31, just missing All-Region accolades by four places. His performance was an impressive jump from his 80th-place finish as a freshman.
"Ed had great cross country and indoor track seasons but an injury kept him out of outdoor track," said Randy Lowe, now in his fourth year as head coach of both the Bobcat men's and women's programs. "He's coming back hungry and looks to finish very high in the region this year."
Bittinger earned All-AMCC honors for the second straight year after placing sixth (28:55) at the conference championships. He struggled at the regional meet, finishing 92nd (28:40), but looks to build upon his strong track season when he won the 3,000-meter steeplechase (personal-best 9:45.39) at the Mason-Dixon Conference outdoor championships.
"Sid has finally made the adjustment to year-round training and racing," Lowe explained, noting that Westmar did not have a track and field program. "He should be able to be more consistent in races throughout the season."
Bonn was an All-AMCC selection after his third-place finish (28:35.5) and was also 55th at the NCAA regional meet (27:59). He also enjoyed a strong track season, winning titles in both the 800- (personal-record 1:54.40) and 1,500-meter runs (3:59.53) at the Mason-Dixon outdoor championships.
"Brian is one of the most talented middle-distance runners in the region," Lowe added.
Lowe's biggest challenge will be finding runners to fill the crucial fourth and fifth spots, but he has a large number of candidates from which to choose.
Seniors Jonathan Masse (Cumberland, Md./Fort Hill) and Kevin Ripple (Leonardtown, Md./Leonardtown) look for strong finishes to up-and-down careers after running sparingly last season.
Both have earned All-AMCC honors in the past and have been training hard over the summer in preparation for their final year.
Sophomores Andrew Parker (Silver Spring, Md./Springbrook) and Andy Watson (Gaithersburg, Md./Damascus) gained valuable experience last year.
Parker ran in five meets and also enjoyed a breakthrough track season, while Watson competed in all seven meets but missed the outdoor track campaign with an illness.
Junior Tyler Snyder (Hagerstown, Md./North Hagerstown) missed last year due to injury but has enjoyed a very good summer and could be a solid contributor.
Zach Gaudette (Queenstown, Md./Kent Island), Chris Negley (Frostburg, Md./Beall), Curt Ruble (Mineral Wells, W.Va./Parkersburg South) and Dan Simmons (Westminster, Md./Westminster) highlight a deep freshman class.
Gaudette was ninth at the Maryland Class 2A cross country meet as well as fifth in the state in the 3,200-meter outdoor track run, while Negley was third at the 1A cross country meet and fourth in the 1,600-meter outdoor track run.
Ruble finished ninth at the West Virginia AAA cross country championships and was also sixth in the 3,200-meter outdoor track run, and Simmons was 39th at the state 4A cross country meet and eighth in the 3,200-meter outdoor track run.
The Bobcat men placed 18th out of 35 teams at the NCAA Mid-East Regional last season, and Lowe looks for this squad to challenge for a spot in the top 10.
"We need our top three to stay healthy and run well, and it'll be nice to have a bunch of guys competing for the other two scoring spots," said Lowe. "We've been very focused at the AMCC championships in the past, and we now we need to bring that same focus to the regional meet."
With just five runners, the women's team certainly doesn't have the depth of the men's squad, but several talented performers should keep the Bobcats in the hunt for another conference title.
Sophomore Bonnie Axman (Burke, Va./James Robinson) returns after enjoying an outstanding rookie season. She earned All-AMCC honors after placing fourth at the conference championships (26:52) and was FSU's top finisher at the NCAA Mid-East Regional, placing 58th out of 264 runners (24:54). She was named to the All-Region Freshman team for her strong performance.
"Bonnie has had an outstanding summer and she looks poised for a major breakthrough season," said Lowe.
Junior Carolyn Kilkus (Rockville, Md./Richard Montgomery) is a two-time All-AMCC selection and the most experienced women's runner. Last season, she finished third (26:29) at the AMCC championships and 129th (26:17) at the NCAA regional meet. She has enjoyed a strong summer and will again be a valuable asset.
Sophomore Sheila Kurtz (Thurmont, Md./Boonsboro) aims to continue her development after a solid freshman year. She finished sixth (27:21) at the AMCC championships to earn all-conference honors and was also 167th (27:17) at the NCAA regional meet. She showed her talent as a middle distance runner during the track seasons, and Lowe looks for her to carry that over into the upcoming cross country year.
Freshman Katie Lyell (Newark, Del./Newark) is a promising newcomer who made huge progress during her senior year. At the Division I state outdoor track meet, she finished 12th in the 3,200-meter run and 16th in the 1,600-meter run.
Sophomore Sarah Morton (Swanton, Md./Westmar) returns to the squad after missing last year due to injury.
"With such a small group, the key for us will be to stay healthy," said Lowe of his women's team. "They're very dedicated and motivated, and they've been running well over the summer."

MUMBAI: A diesel price hike of Rs 5 in September has seen demand for passenger cars perk up in favour of petrol versions. Going forward, it will decisively tilt the scales in favour of petrol when the proposed hike of Rs 10 in diesel will be implemented.
The industry expects the momentum for petrol cars to gather speed. In 2010-11, the price differential between petrol and diesel stretched to almost Rs 25 a litre forcing many customers to opt for diesel cars.

Hawker Beechcraft competitor Sierra Nevada files lawsuit in light air support contract
Sierra Nevada Corp. filed a lawsuit Tuesday seeking the reinstatement of a light air support contract from the Air Force.
The suit was filed with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.
The action is in response to a lawsuit filed by Hawker Beechcraft following its disqualification in the competition.
The Air Force set aside the contract to Sierra Nevada in March, opened an investigation into the source selection process and reopened the competition.
"The cancellation of the contract was an extreme response to what appears to be paperwork errors on the part of the USAF," Sierra Nevada said in a statement.
Sierra Nevada alleges the revised Request for Proposal is "tilted in favor of the competition."
The company has not received adequate explanation or justification for the contract's termination, it said.
Sierra Nevada has partnered with Brazil-based Embraer to offer the Super Tucano to the Air Force.
Hawker Beechcraft's bid is for the AT-6, an upgraded T-6 trainer used to train Air Force and Navy pilots.

Low Immunity to Measles and Rubella among Female Guest Workers, Northern Mariana Islands
Suggested citation for this article
To the Editor: The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a group of northern Pacific islands in political union with the United States, was exempt from US labor laws until 2007. This exemption attracted business opportunities, which led to a high demand for guest workers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises the US Citizenship and Immigration Services of vaccination requirements for those applying for immigration and work visas before the applications are approved (1). Since 1996, all applicants born after 1957 and >12 months of age have been required to provide evidence of completed vaccination against, or of immunity to, measles, mumps, and rubella viruses. Those unable to provide such evidence must receive at least 1 dose of the vaccines recommended by the US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices before visa approval. The Committee also advises applicants to receive additional doses of the required vaccines after arrival in the Mariana Islands. We aimed to determine the proportion of CNMI guest workers who were immune to measles and rubella by testing a convenience sample of serum collected during September and October 2006. However, procedures for validating the vaccination status for our sample population are unknown. Given our results, it appears that validation procedures of immunity status in guest workers or immigrants to the United States were suboptimal at the time of this study.
Serum samples from 210 female workers from 17 through 51 years of age were collected opportunistically when, as a requirement for annual contract renewal, the workers came to the Department of Public Health, Saipan, CNMI. Approximately 70% of these guest workers were from the People's Republic of China and the Philippines and were employed in the garment and hospitality industries (2). We estimated that a minimum sample size of 196 would provide a precision estimate of 5% based on an anticipated proportion immune of 85% (actual study size was 210 samples). Informed consent was obtained from all participants. Serum samples, with identifying information removed, were shipped to the Victorian Infectious Diseases Reference Laboratory, Melbourne, Australia.
Immunoglobulin G against measles and rubella was detected in serum by using Enzygnost ELISAs (Dade Behring, Deerfield, IL, USA) according to manufacturer's instructions. For measles and rubella, samples with optical density (OD) values >0.2 (equivalent to 330 mIU/mL) indicated protective immunity and samples with OD values <0.1 were suggestive of no protection (3). Samples with OD values in the equivocal range (0.1–0.2) were retested, and the repeat result was recorded. Repeat equivocal results were classified as not protected. Data were analyzed by using STATA version 8.2 (Stata Corp., College Station, TX, USA). Exact binomial 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Proportions of guest workers immune to measles and rubella, by age group and country of origin, were assessed by Fisher exact test and χ2 statistics.
The proportion of Chinese guest workers immune to measles (115/154, 74.7%) and rubella (131/154, 85.1%) was lower than the proportion immune of all other workers combined (56/56, 100% and 50/56, 89.3%, respectively), but the difference was only significant for measles (Table). When compared with Chinese workers of all other ages, Chinese workers 20–34 years of age were significantly less likely to be protected against measles (69.3% vs. 89.7%; p = 0.01). No significant differences were found in the proportion of guest workers immune to rubella by age group (p = 0.70) or country of origin (p = 0.43).
A limitation of our work is that the sample may not be representative of the CNMI guest worker population overall. Only 27% of guest workers in the CNMI are from China, and 43% are from the Philippines (J.-P. Chaine, pers. comm., March 2008), whereas in our study 73% of guest workers were from China, and 23% were from the Philippines. Also, no men were recruited for the study yet men represent 19% of guest workers from China (J.-P. Chaine, pers. comm., March 2008), so our findings should not be extrapolated to this group.
China and the Philippines report 94% and 92% childhood immunization coverage with 1 measles vaccine, respectively (4,5). Similar to other reports of low measles immunity in young adult populations (6), this study identified young adult female workers from China as a group particularly susceptible to measles infection with >25% (39/154) unprotected. Neither country implemented rubella vaccination before 2006, and the immune profile for rubella reflects age-specific seroprevalence for endemic disease; >10% of these women remain susceptible to rubella during their potential childbearing years (7).
More than 8,000 female workers from China were in the CNMI during the period of this survey, and as many as 2,000 may have been susceptible to measles, which would have facilitated sustained transmission if the virus had been introduced. Several studies have shown that unvaccinated persons are clustered geographically or socially and may be at increased risk for measles or rubella outbreaks (8,9). These reports underscore the possible risk of virus spread in populations with low immunity in Saipan.

In this comedy, a scrawny barber must compete with a muscle bound thug for the love of a manicurist. Naturally the manicurist is most attracted to the brute until the barber can prove that he is a crook. The two then duke it out in the boxing ring. Later it is the weakling who gets the girl. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

TNA British Bootcamp Episode 3 review: Hulk Hogan, Sting, Kurt Angle, and Dixie Carter meet the contestants at the TNA Hall of Fame and Bound For Glory Jan 21, 2013 - 03:48 PM
The following is a review of the third episode of TNA British Bootcamp. The one-hour season finale will air on Tuesday at 10 p.m. UK time (5:00 p.m. ET) on Challenge TV. By Jason Powell The opening aired... The four contestants were shown taking part in a photo shoot briefly... The four contestants flew to Phoenix, Arizona for the Bound For Glory pay-per-view. Rockstar Spud's bag broke at the airport. He threw a fit and slammed down his bag while Marty Scurll was shown laughing... The foursome took part in the TNA fanfest event. They met Christy Hemme. Spud told Hemme that Marty has a picture of her on his wall. "Yeah, kind of embarrassing," Spud said. Funny. Borash introduced the contestants at the fanfest. They cut brief promos in front of the fans. Marty said he's going to "breathe some much needed life into the X Division." Spud vented that everyone wanted to get pictures with the girls. They showed a fan telling Spud he wanted a photo with the girls. "Here you go, girls, another horny guy," Spud said. Funny. A woman took a photo with Marty. Spud told her to wash her hands. One of the twins noted that Spud doesn't seem to like it when the attention isn't on him... The contestants went to the TNA Hall of Fame ceremony for Sting. Marty wanted Hannah to sit next to him at the banquet. She obliged. Kurt Angle was introduced at the ceremony and he joined the contestants at their table. Hulk Hogan was shown saying he wanted them to sit at the table to give them a little rub off of what a main event guy looks like and has to say. Powell's POV: Hogan was better here than he was in the previous episodes. He was a little more human and less in promo mode. Angle chatted with the contestants and they all traded TNA trading cards briefly. Angle was shown saying they were all respectful and Spud was pretty funny. He said you have to be able to interact with the crowd and he thinks they all have that ability. Marty spoke about Angle and meeting an icon. Footage of Sting's induction speech was shown. He said he was honored and thanked the fans for having him all these years. "Who's ready for a few more years?" Dixie asked the crowd. Hogan spoke about how nice it was to get to know Sting the man... Dixie Carter introduced herself to the contestants. She then introduced Sting and Hulk Hogan. Spud spoke about what a moment it was to meet Hogan, his idol in the business. Hogan wished them all the best. Sting said longevity is the secret. He said he's been going for 27 years and pointed to Hogan, who said, "Oh, please." After Hogan and Sting left, Dixie spoke with the group. She said she imagines they all want to be up on a stage like that someday. She told them to buckle down and get serious and said she was speaking to Marty and Spud specifically. Marty was shown saying that after seeing the ceremony and knowing what he could achieve, Dixie is right. Dixie told the contestants she would be seeing a lot more of each other. Marty was shown saying he's going to aim all of his concentration toward winning. Spud put his hand out and had the rest of them join in for a quick cheer... A teaser showed the contestants at the pay-per-view and Carter telling them they would be shown during the pay-per-view... [C] Powell's POV: Everyone from TNA came off well during their brief appearances. This is the most star power they've had on the show in three episodes thus far. The foursome were shown taking part in a photo shoot. Spud got hot because it took the twins so long to do their makeup...
