Briana Johnson, a South Aiken High School senior, was looking forward to visiting the health science building at Aiken Technical College Friday.
She had arrived at ATC that morning for the college's annual Career Expo – among about 200 seniors and some juniors from six county high schools and South Aiken Baptist School, as well.
"This is really fun and I like it," Johnson said of visiting ATC. "It can help me further my career in nursing. I had thought about USC Aiken, but I've decided to start here first and transfer."
Nina Dorman, a career counselor at Aiken High, called the expo a wonderful gift from ATC.
"They provided all the schools a bus to come here and see what Aiken Technical College has to offer and what the local community has in resources," Dorman said.
"We're really excited about the new building for enrollment services. This tour will show the students what careers are here and how to go through the application process. A lot of those boundaries will be eliminated."
Debbie Hubbard, the Career and Technology Education coordinator at the Aiken County Career Center, said the expo has improved every year through the leadership of Lisa Sommers, the recruitment and outreach coordinator at ATC.
"The kids look forward to this, finding it very useful," Hubbard said. "We target those students who have not been accepted into college or have not made a decision or made out applications."
After lunch at the ATC gym, the students divided into groups for tours in specific fields – early childhood education and public safety; business management and administration and finance; health science; nuclear technology; and advanced manufacturing and industrial maintenance.
The event is intended to encourage students to attend college and hopefully ATC, Sommers said.
"We have had a really good response in past years, with 60 percent that end up coming to Aiken Technical College," she said. "They can also move on to four-year schools, and ATC is a good place to start if they want to transfer."
Fifteen Wagener-Salley High School students attended the expo.
"It's important for them to see this campus and see what's possible," said counselor Darriel Whetstone. "We're now getting acceptance letters and the bills, and they see the difference between two- and four-year schools. That's something they can take into consideration."
Katelyn Shields, an Aiken High senior, said she wanted to see ATC since moving to Aiken about three years ago. She's interested in going into business management.
"I'm sad about leaving high school," Shields said. "But this is exciting and very rewarding."

Kailyn Breaks Up With Jordan! Recap of Teen Mom 2 Season 3, Episode 5: "Second Chances"
Are you ready to spiral into a fit of heaving sobs? Kailyn and Jordan's breakup 2.0 is upon us, and we're overcome with emotions. Despite the fact that Jordan loves Kailyn and Isaac with all his heart, Kail doesn't see the relationship working out. You see, Jordan has a major case of the jellies thanks to Kailyn's past cheating, and he's smothering her like a giant leopard-print Snuggie.
The problem? Kailyn doesn't know if she's ready to give up the idea of having a boyfriend. After all, no one wants to sleep alone in a giant king-sized bed (that's what a body pillow is for, y'all).
But there's no denying that these two just aren't meant to be, and now Kailyn has to break the news to her man — awkward!
Kailyn sits Jordan down for a face-to-face and kindly explains that their 'ship is sinking faster than the Titanic. As you might expect, he sad faces all over the place, so they decide that they're on a "break" instead of "broken up." After all, that way Kailyn can get him back in the sack if she changes her mind! Unfortunately, Jordan ditches Kailyn to hang out with another girl right when they decide they might get back together. Majorly uncool, Jordan, much like your enormous beard.
Suffice it to say, these two are dunzo. Are you shocked by Jordan's behavior?

Columbia Business School
- Faculty & Research
You are here
Dissertation Proposal
A dissertation embodying original research constitutes the major requirement of the program. The dissertation is written under the guidance of a faculty sponsor and is defended before a University committee.
As a student progresses on the dissertation proposal, it is wise to establish a working relationship not only with the sponsor but also with other faculty members who will serve as readers of the dissertation at the time of the defense.
Each student must submit a written proposal detailing the dissertation plan to the doctoral coordinator for approval. The proposal must be accompanied by an approval of dissertation proposal form signed by the sponsor and by three other faculty members, indicating their willingness to supervise the dissertation. Approval forms are available in the Doctoral Office.
A seminar on the dissertation topic is presented by the student before the four faculty members who are to approve the proposal. This seminar serves as an oral examination: the student must answer questions about both the thesis proposal and the related literature.
Candidates can expect to spend at least one year of full-time work on the dissertation.

Top Ten Doctoral Program Questions
Here are the most frequently asked questions about the Doctoral Program.
- How long does the Doctoral Program take to complete?
The Program takes a minimum of four years to complete. Most students complete the process in five years.
- Do I need a masters degree or business background to pursue a doctorate?
We do not require a business undergraduate degree or masters to apply or be accepted to our Doctoral Program. We have had several students from degree programs including: Economics, Statistics, Psychology, Sociology, Mathematics, and Engineering, among others.
- Is a Doctoral Degree right for me?
Unlike an undergraduate or master level program, where individual courses are incorporated with a highly structured learning experience, the doctoral education places an emphasis on self-directed learning and close relationships with a select few faculty in a particular area of specialization. Programs typically involve intense reading of academic journals and writing original research. Doctoral students usually grow close relationships with their faculty mentors. These advisors work closely with the students to define a course of research and help provide guidance in the dissertation process.
- What can I study at Columbia Business School's Doctoral Program?
You can study in one of our five divisions: Accounting, Decision, Risk and Operations, Finance and Economics, Management, or Marketing. A more nuanced understanding of these fields can be seen in the areas of expertise of the Business School's faculty research.
- Do you offer distance learning or a part time program?
Unfortunately our Doctorate is available only as a full time, in residence program.
- How do I apply?
Apply using our online application. We ask that you do not send any documents directly to the School, all materials can be submitted online. Please comply with the posted application deadlines, being sure to include all required components of the application.
- How many students will you accept this year?
The aim of our Program is to accept 23 students per year (Accounting: 4, DRO: 4, Finance: 6, Management: 5, Marketing: 4).
- Does the Doctoral Program have specific prerequisites?
While we have no prerequisites for application, students with limited quantitative backgrounds may benefit from taking accounting, mathematics, econometrics and statistics before enrolling. We encourage you to explore each Division's requirements before applying the Analytical thinking and quantitative tools have a significant influence on success in the program.
- Is the doctoral program appropriate for career improvement as a business consultant or manager?
No, the goal of the Doctoral Program is to place graduates in academic institutions as top researchers and instructors. If you have a different goal in mind we encourage you to investigate our MS Programs which combine the Doctoral level coursework in a masters package.
- Are students offered financial support?
A full financial aid package is offered to most admitted students, this includes tuition, fees, and stipends. Our living stipend is provided in the form of a fellowship. Students are not required to secure jobs as teaching or research assistants. However, most students do during their careers as a way to supplement their funding package.

Newbies, Post in Welcome Central to open up the boards
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
There are red letter Bibles. The words of Jesus are in red. But why? Many say because what Jesus said is such perfect teaching. Then I wonder why the words of Jesus were any better than say those of Peter?Peter's writting are HS inspired so they are of divine quality too. In fact even teh words of Jesus are HS inspired. Otherwise it would mean that the 12 have written down the teachings from memmory years later.I think we don't need to argue how 'perfect' human memory is...So can I conclude the red letter editions are nothing more that a way to make some extra cash?
And why are the words of Jesus more prominent than those of Luke, Rose?The words of Luke are inspired by the HS that is very able to let Luke write down perfect words.Now I'm at it; did Jesus speak or was it the HS in Him speaking.In that case only the body was different.Note: I'm not saying Luke is equal the Son of God.So if all scripture is perfect because it comes from the same perfect HS why isn't James in red?It's equally divine.
I only have balack and white versions in print.But I bet a RoseRed Bible is pretty Well I made my point.I'm very aware Jesus wasn't the 13th apostle but the Master. So I can really understand why people like the red letter Bible. It's just that some (not you) seem to imply the words of Jesus are extra true.
Some believe just the red letters alone can save you
QuoteSome believe just the red letters alone can save youThanks for the tip I'm gonna triple my spending and then my bankaccount gets into life saving red letters.Couldn't be better Fat belly lots of stuff and a life saving bankaccount

Fierce storm strikes region, Poultney hit hardestBy Darren Marcy
Staff Writer | July 03,2014A fierce thunderstorm pounded Rutland County late Thursday afternoon with strong winds and and a torrential downpour knocking out power to thousands and pelting the area with another round of damaging hail.
Scott Whittier, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Burlington, said portions of Rutland took the brunt of the storm.
Poulney suffered so much damage the town has canceled all its festivities scheduled for Friday, said Town Manager Jonas Rosenthal.
"It's a mess, we have no power," Rosenthal said. "Everything is canceled."
"(The storm) brought two rounds of heavy thunderstorms right across Rutland," Whittier said. "It ended up producing hail of 1 inch and greater in Rutland and in some of the immediate suburbs."
He estimated wind gusts "at a minimum of 60 to 70 mph."
The Poultney area was hit particularly hard with trees down, utility poles snapped and thousands without power.
Just after 8 p.m., Vermont State Police reported Route 30 impassable through the entire town of Poultney because of trees and wires down. Other roads were also blocked.
Some structures were damaged as well, with at least one chimney toppled at Dr. Mike Scovner's office on Main Street.
Green Mountain Power reported thousands of outages.
GMP spokeswoman Dorothy Schnure said Poultney, where winds in excess of 70 mph were reported, was the hardest hit.
"We've got multiple poles down, wires down," she said at about 7:30 p.m. "There's a lot going on in Poultney. We've got, at this point, 363 separate events and about 5,000 customers without power and 2,000 of those are in Poultney."
Other heavy concentrations were in West Rutland and the Rutland City.
"Rutland was damaged by the same storm cell coming through, but to a lesser extent," she said.
Rutland Fire Chief Robert Schlachter said his crews were kept hopping but all the calls ended up being trees into wires. Some resulted in small fires but no structure fires were reported.
One large tree broke in two places and fell on a building at the corner of Nickwackett Street and Washington Street.
The city also put out its water barrier across the front of the transit center, which prevented water from flowing down into the center.
The largest impact was the power outages.
Schnure said GMP had 55 of its own two-person line crews out along with 32 contract line crews and 50 contract tree crews. She said further outages were possible as the storm system moved through the state and that the company expected it would not have power restored to everyone until the end of Friday.
Whittier said the heavy rainfall and thunderstorms were widespread across south central Vermont with the most damaging winds and large hail "confined basically from Poultney through Rutland and getting into portions of western Windsor County."
Whittier said there were thunderstorms in the northern part of the state, but not as severe.
The genesis for the latest storm can be traced to several days of humid weather.
"We've been in this humid air mass for the last three or four days (and) we're finally getting a disturbance that came through New York and has lifted across Vermont," Whittier said.

Advancing health care with iPhone.
With thousands of doctors, nurses, and administrators in 11 hospitals — including the busiest trauma centre in the country — Memorial Hermann Healthcare System depends on the latest mobile technologies to streamline its services and deliver better patient care. iPhone and state-of-the-art medical apps like AirStrip OB let Memorial Hermanns physicians keep a finger on patients pulses even when they cant be at their bedsides.
Based in Houston, TX, the fourth-largest city in the U.S., Memorial Hermann serves a metro area of more than five million people, providing everything from air ambulance services to a chemical dependency treatment centre.
"Health care is a very real-time business," says David Bradshaw, Chief Information, Planning, and Marketing Officer at Memorial Hermann Healthcare System. "We need anywhere, anytime computing, and iPhone is the best platform for the applications were choosing."
Secure Access to Medical Data
With its built-in support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, iPhone fits in flawlessly with Memorial Hermanns existing infrastructure. "For me, that tight integration with Microsoft Exchange is very important," says Dr. Robert Murphy, Memorial Hermanns Chief Medical Informatics Officer.
"It's as if you had the Outlook client on your iPhone," Bradshaw agrees. "Accepting meetings, looking at email and attachments, downloading spreadsheets. Its seamlessly integrated into our Exchange network."
iPhone security features such as remote wipe and passcode protection keep patient information confidential while remaining transparent to users. "The security technology is absolutely not in question," Dr. Murphy says. "Our security team has looked at the iPhone, and it not only meets the standards, it exceeds the standards."
Physicians Gain Efficiency
The simple iPhone interface and Multi-Touch technology let busy doctors get up to speed quickly. "The phone itself is very intuitive — you dont need an instruction manual," says obstetrician/gynecologist Dr. Marco Giannotti.
And with hundreds of medical apps available, iPhone becomes an instant pocket reference for everything from anatomical charts to diagnostic tools, allowing clinicians the freedom to create their own application workflows.
iPhone gives doctors "the right information at the right moment," adds Dr. Murphy. "Having that information available right at the point of care, you feel more confident in your decision-making."
Medical Apps Deliver
The iPhone advantage is highlighted by apps like AirStrip OB, which enables obstetricians to monitor different stages of labour even when theyre not by a patients side. Developed by AirStrip Technologies, AirStrip OB links individual mobile devices to a central AirStrip server with HIPAA-compliant authentication, giving obstetricians remote access to live views of delivery room data — including fetal heart tracings, contraction patterns, vital statistics and nursing notes.
"AirStrip OB is an absolutely indispensable app on iPhone," Dr. Giannotti says. "It fundamentally changes the way Im able to interact with labour and delivery. In a tenth of the time, without pulling a nurse away from what shes doing, I get all the real-time data I need at the touch of a button."
The option of viewing heart tracings in landscape mode distinguishes iPhone from other devices, and makes AirStrip OB an even better tool for obstetricians. "Its just off the chart how doctors who have iPhones are using AirStrip OB, compared to those who dont," Bradshaw observes.
Better Care via iPhone
With secure remote access to clinical data, must-have medical apps, and an interface that makes it easy to view and interpret key information, iPhone is clearly helping to improve health care at Memorial Hermann.
"There's no question that iPhone is making a difference in how patients are cared for," Bradshaw says. "Especially the ability to keep clinicians in constant contact with patients and the actual care setting. Its all about them delivering on why they went to school and became a doctor or a nurse. iPhone simply helps us deliver patient care in a more efficient, productive manner."

When Perry Michael Allen arrived in Europe for the
first time, he was touring as music director and
road manager for the legendary superstar soul
singer, Al Green, and since then Allen continues
to make an enormous contribution to the
renaissance of soul music in Europe.
A singer, pianist, musical arranger and producer,
the multi-talented Michael Allen was born and
raised in Memphis, Tennessee, the heartland of
soul music. He took the first steps of his
professional musical career in Memphis, working
with the two greatest labels of the R&B / Soul
music genre – Stax Records and Willie Mitchell's
HI Studios.
Early in his career, he had the unique opportunity
to study the art of record making with some of
Soul and R&B's greatest musicians. Under the
wings of master producer Willie Mitchell and
renowned songwriter David Porter (of "Soul Man"
fame), Allen sharpened his songwriting and
producting skills and later became an
artist/writer/arranger for both Stax and HI.
He has performed, recorded and arranged
for the absolute greatest names in the history of
Including The Sweet Inspirations, Anita Ward,
Wilson Pickett, The Memphis Horns, Albert King,
The Soul Children, The HI Rhythm Section,Ollie
and the Nightingales,Carla and Rufus Thomas
and others.
During his first term at Stax Records, he
recorded the Sweet Inspirations, the legendary
singers of Aretha Franklin and Elvis Presley,
was songwriter/arranger/vocalist with the Stax
KILO, and also recorded David Porter's album
"Sweat and Love", accompanying Porter at the
famous WattStax concert which was the subject
of the groundbreaking film of the same name.
In addition to his own records for Stax, HI and
other record companies, Allen penned three hits
Al Green: "Hanging On", "So Good To Be Here", and
"Soon As I Get Home". Allen also worked as Green's
tour and musical director, appearing with Green on
a host of television programs including The
Tonight Show, The Late Show, Soul Train and
Midnight Special. At HI, Allen also recorded and
arranged for Syl Johnson, Ann Peebles, Detroit
Emerals, Otis Clay and O.V. Wright, to name a
Allen also worked with Fame Records (Muscle
Shoals) and Stax/Fantasy records, coordinated,
directed and performed as key-boardist/vocalist on
Anita Ward's "Ring My Bell" tour. Allen later was
called to work as producer/arranger/musician for
Willie Mitchells' new record label "Waylo". For
the Waylo label, he arranged and recorded the
works of Lynn White, Lanier&Co., the European
group Wet Wet Wet (The Memphis Sessions), David
Hudson's album "Night & Day" as well as his own
singles "Music All The Time", "Turn On The Music"
and "Highway".
In Europe he has written, produced and recorded
his own work, including the CD "Deep Inside" for
Irma Molto Jazz, and "On The Radio", "Push Push
Push" and other singles for Tabloid/Polygram, EMI,
Sony and other record companies. His most recent
work is the album "Simple Things", recorded for
his new label Nugen Music.

After GSP fought Hardy...I thought his BJJ blackbelt was gifted, Considering he had earned it 2 years prior 2 fighting Hardy..
Point of why I thought to make this thread is I was randomly reading about
Bully Beatdown the other day and started looking at fighters who'd been on the show and I came across this Tony Bonello guy whom I heard of but never seen fight.
I looked into the guy a little and learned he was a third degree black belt in BJJ and his credentials were as followed.
Carlos Gracies 2008 American National Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt Championships Gold Medalist (Two times)- One gold medal in the Gi & 1 gold medal in the No-Gi division. Notable is that both gold medals were uncontested, as Tony was the only entrant in each division
Carlos Gracies 2008 No-Gi Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Senior Black Belt World Championships Silver Medalist
Carlos Gracies 2009 No-Gi Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Senior Black Belt World Championships Silver Medalist- Notable is that there was only one other entrant each year in his division, and thus one match to determine gold and silver .
When I saw thees'e credentials I started laughing to myself .

VU Women's Basketball falls 68-56 to visiting Wabash ValleyJanuary 13, 2013
The Vincennes University Women's Basketball Team fell behind early and then clawed its way back into the game by halftime Saturday against visiting Wabash Valley, only to see the game slip away in the second 20 minutes, partially because of the Warriors' size and rebounding advantage. The result was a 68-56 setback to Wabash Valley that dropped the Trailblazers' record to 6-10 on the season.
Freshman Chelsea Jellison led VU with 10 points, including three 3-pointers, while freshman Deborah Martin and sophomore Monique Jones-Murphy had eight points each.
Wabash Valley's four treys put the Trailblazers in a 26-12 hole early on but VU went on an 11-4 run to close it to 30-23 with about three minutes to play in the first half. The run was part of VU outscoring the Warriors 22-12 over the final eight minutes of the half to get within 38-34 at intermission. Jones-Murphy's 3-pointer just before the buzzer put the exclamation mark on the mini-comeback.VU tied it up, 42-42, early in the second half on a Yana Svintzitskaya jumper from the baseline.
The Trailblazers will travel to Shawnee on Wednesday for the front end of a women's/men's doubleheader. The women will tip off at 6:30 p.m. (Vincennes time) and the men will start at about 8:30 p.m. The ladies will stay on the road for a 2 p.m. game at Mineral Area on Jan. 19 and then head to Southwestern Illinois on Jan. 21 (6:30 p.m.) for another women's/men's doubleheader.


text: HMMMM thanks for the drill gun barrel idea. are there any sources out there for these?? I might be able to do some if there is enough interest and money in it to make it worth while. I dont have a reamer but that can be had. I would need a cheap reliable source of barrels though. I really would not want to work on some one elses barrel in fear I could damage it.

- Molecular basis of telaprevir resistance due to V36 and T54 mutations in the NS3-4A protease of the hepatitis C virus (2008)
- Background The inhibitor telaprevir (VX-950) of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) protease NS3-4A has been tested in a recent phase 1b clinical trial in patients infected with HCV genotype 1. This trial revealed residue mutations that confer varying degrees of drug resistance. In particular, two protease positions with the mutations V36A/G/L/M and T54A/S were associated with low to medium levels of drug resistance during viral breakthrough, together with only an intermediate reduction of viral replication fitness. These mutations are located in the protein interior and far away from the ligand binding pocket. Results Based on the available experimental structures of NS3-4A, we analyze the binding mode of different ligands. We also investigate the binding mode of VX-950 by protein-ligand docking. A network of non-covalent interactions between amino acids of the protease structure and the interacting ligands is analyzed to discover possible mechanisms of drug resistance. We describe the potential impact of V36 and T54 mutants on the side chain and backbone conformations and on the non-covalent residue interactions. We propose possible explanations for their effects on the antiviral efficacy of drugs and viral fitness. Molecular dynamics simulations of T54A/S mutants and rotamer analysis of V36A/G/L/M side chains support our interpretations. Experimental data using an HCV V36G replicon assay corroborate our findings. Conclusion T54 mutants are expected to interfere with the catalytic triad and with the ligand binding site of the protease. Thus, the T54 mutants are assumed to affect the viral replication efficacy to a larger degree than V36 mutants. Mutations at V36 and/or T54 result in impaired interaction of the protease residues with the VX-950 cyclopropyl group, which explains the development of viral breakthrough variants.
- Enzymatic and antisense effects of a specific anti-Ki-ras ribozyme in vitro and in cell culture (1999)
- Due to their mode of action, ribozymes show antisense effects in addition to their specific cleavage activity. In the present study we investigated whether a hammerhead ribozyme is capable of cleaving mutated Ki-ras mRNA in a pancreatic carcinoma cell line and whether antisense effects contribute to the activity of the ribozyme. A 2[prime]-O-allyl modified hammerhead ribozyme was designed to cleave specifically the mutated form of the Ki-ras mRNA (GUU motif in codon 12). The activity was monitored by RT-PCR on Ki-ras RNA expression by determination of the relative amount of wild type to mutant Ki-ras mRNA, by 5-bromo-2[prime]-deoxy-uridine incorporation on cell proliferation and by colony formation in soft agar on malignancy in the human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line CFPAC-1, which is heterozygous for the Ki-ras mutation. A catalytically inactive ribozyme was used as control to differentiate between antisense and cleavage activity and a ribozyme with random guide sequences as negative control. The catalytically active anti-Ki-ras ribozyme was at least 2-fold more potent in decreasing cellular Ki-ras mRNA levels, inhibiting cell proliferation and colony formation in soft agar than the catalytically inactive ribozyme. The catalytically active anti-Ki-ras ribozyme, but not the catalytically inactive or random ribozyme, increased the ratio of wild type to mutated Ki-ras mRNA in CFPAC-1 cells. In conclusion, both cleavage activity and antisense effects contribute to the activity of the catalytically active anti-Ki-ras hammerhead ribozyme. Specific ribozymes might be useful in the treatment of pancreatic carcinomas containing an oncogenic GTT mutation in codon 12 of the Ki-ras gene.
- N-terminus of hMLH1 confers interaction of hMutL{alpha} and hMutL{beta} with hMutS{alpha} (2003)
- Mismatch repair is a highly conserved system that ensures replication fidelity by repairing mispairs after DNA synthesis. In humans, the two protein heterodimers hMutS{alpha} (hMSH2-hMSH6) and hMutL{alpha} (hMLH1-hPMS2) constitute the centre of the repair reaction. After recognising a DNA replication error, hMutS{alpha} recruits hMutL{alpha}, which then is thought to transduce the repair signal to the excision machinery. We have expressed an ATPase mutant of hMutL{alpha} as well as its individual subunits hMLH1 and hPMS2 and fragments of hMLH1, followed by examination of their interaction properties with hMutS{alpha} using a novel interaction assay. We show that, although the interaction requires ATP, hMutL{alpha} does not need to hydrolyse this nucleotide to join hMutS{alpha} on DNA, suggesting that ATP hydrolysis by hMutL{alpha} happens downstream of complex formation. The analysis of the individual subunits of hMutL{alpha} demonstrated that the hMutS{alpha}–hMutL{alpha} interaction is predominantly conferred by hMLH1. Further experiments revealed that only the N-terminus of hMLH1 confers this interaction. In contrast, only the C-terminus stabilised and co-immunoprecipitated hPMS2 when both proteins were co-expressed in 293T cells, indicating that dimerisation and stabilisation are mediated by the C-terminal part of hMLH1. We also examined another human homologue of bacterial MutL, hMutL{beta} (hMLH1–hPMS1). We show that hMutL{beta} interacts as efficiently with hMutS{alpha} as hMutL{alpha}, and that it predominantly binds to hMutS{alpha} via hMLH1 as well.
- Market uptake of pegylated interferons for the treatment of Hepatitis C in Europe : meeting abstract ; 53. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Medizinische Informatik, Biometrie und Epidemiologie e.V. (GMDS), 15. bis 18.09.2008, Stuttgart (2008)
- Introduction and Objectives Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of chronic liver disease with life threatening sequelae such as end-stage liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. It is estimated that the infection annually causes about 86,000 deaths, 1.2 million disability adjusted life years (DALYs), and ¼ of the liver transplants in the WHO European region [1]. Presently, only antiviral drugs can prevent the progression to severe liver disease. Pegylated interferons combined with ribavirin are considered as current state-of-the-art treatment. Objective of this investigation was to assess the market uptake of these drugs across Europe in order to find out whether there is unequal access to optimised therapy. Material and Methods We used IMS launch and sales data (April 2000 to December 2005) for peginterferons and ribavirin for 21 countries of the WHO European region [2]. Market uptake was investigated by comparing the development of country-specific sales rates. For market access analysis, we converted sales figures into numbers of treated patients and related those to country-specific hepatitis C prevalence. To convert sales figures into patient figures, the amount of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) sold was divided by average total patient doses (ATPD), derived by a probability tree-based calculation algorithm accounting for genotype distribution, early stopping rules, body weight, unscheduled treatment stops and dose reductions Ntotal=APIPegIFNalpha-2a/ATPDPegIFNalpha-2a+APIPegIFN&alpha-2b/ATPDPegIFNalpha-2b For more concise result presentation the 21 included countries were aggregated into four categories: 1. EU founding members (1957): Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and Netherlands; 2. Countries joining EU before 2000: Austria (1995), Denmark (1973), Finland (1995), Greece (1981), Republic of Ireland (1973), Spain (1986), Sweden and UK (1973) 3. Countries joining EU after 2000: Czech Republic (2004), Hungary (2004), Poland (2004) and Romania (2007); 4. EU non-member states: Norway, Russia, Switzerland and Turkey. Results Market launch and market uptake of the investigated drugs differed considerably across countries. The earliest, most rapid and highest increases in sales rates were observed in the EU founding member states, followed by countries that joined the EU before 2000, countries that joined the EU after 2000, and EU non-member states. Most new EU member states showed a noticeable increase in sales after joining the EU. Market access analysis yielded that until end of 2005, about 308 000 patients were treated with peginterferon in the 21 countries. Treatment rates differed across Europe. The number of patients ever treated with peginterferon per 100 prevalent cases ranged from 16 in France to less than one in Romania, Poland, Greece and Russia. Discussion Peginterferon market uptake and prevalence adjusted treatment rates were found to vary considerably across 21 countries in the WHO European region suggesting unequal access to optimised therapy. Poor market access was especially common in low-resource countries. Besides budget restrictions, national surveillance and prevention policy should be considered as explanations for market access variation. Although our results allowed for the ranking of countries in order of market access, no final conclusions on over- or undertreatment can be drawn, because the number of patients who really require antiviral treatment is unknown. Further research based on pan-European decision models is recommended to determine the fraction of not yet successfully treated but treatable patients among those ever diagnosed with HCV. ...

- HCV-related burden of disease in Europe : a systematic assessment of incidence, prevalence, morbidity, and mortality (2009)
- Background Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease, end-stage cirrhosis, and liver cancer, but little is known about the burden of disease caused by the virus. We summarised burden of disease data presently available for Europe, compared the data to current expert estimates, and identified areas in which better data are needed. Methods Literature and international health databases were systematically searched for HCV-specific burden of disease data, including incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and liver transplantation. Data were collected for the WHO European region with emphasis on 22 countries. If HCV-specific data were unavailable, these were calculated via HCV-attributable fractions. Results HCV-specific burden of disease data for Europe are scarce. Incidence data provided by national surveillance are not fully comparable and need to be standardised. HCV prevalence data are often inconclusive. According to available data, an estimated 7.3–8.8 million people (1.1–1.3%) are infected in our 22 focus countries. HCV-specific mortality, DALY, and transplantation data are unavailable. Estimations via HCV-attributable fractions indicate that HCV caused more than 86000 deaths and 1.2 million DALYs in the WHO European region in 2002. Most of the DALYs (95%) were accumulated by patients in preventable disease stages. About one-quarter of the liver transplants performed in 25 European countries in 2004 were attributable to HCV. Conclusion Our results indicate that hepatitis C is a major health problem and highlight the importance of timely antiviral treatment. However, data on the burden of disease of hepatitis C in Europe are scarce, outdated or inconclusive, which indicates that hepatitis C is still a neglected disease in many countries. What is needed are public awareness, co-ordinated action plans, and better data. European physicians should be aware that many infections are still undetected, provide timely testing and antiviral treatment, and avoid iatrogenic transmission.
- Letalität auf der Warteliste und Transplantation bei Leberallokation nach MELD Score in Deutschland - erste prospektive Ergebnisse bei 100 Patienten (2008)
- Meeting Abstract : Deutsche Gesellschaft für Chirurgie. 125. Kongress der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Chirurgie. Berlin, 22.-25.04.2008 Einleitung: Am 16.12.06 wurde im Eurotransplant-Gebiet der MELD-Score (MELD) als Allokationsbasis zur Lebertransplantation (OLT) eingeführt. Ziel ist eine Reduktion der Sterblichkeit auf der Warteliste. Material und Methoden: 100 Patienten wurden in die prospektive Analyse der MELD-Allokation vom 16.12.06 bis 15.09.07 einbezogen. Ergebnisse: Aktuell warten 68 Pat., 28 Pat. wurden transplantiert, 4 Pat. sind auf der Warteliste (WL) verstorben (4%). Der mittlere MELD auf der WL beträgt 17,2 +/- 5,2 (7-28). Bei 12 Pat. liegt eine Standard-exception (SE) (n=10 HCC, n=2 metabolische Erkrankung) mit einem Match-MELD von 25,6 +/-2,06 vor (24-28). Die Todesursachen der vier auf der WL verstorbenen Pat. waren eine akute Varizenblutung (MELD 9), zwei kardiale Versagen (MELD 13, 18) und eine MRSA-Sepsis (MELD 29, NT-Status). Die 28 transplantierten Pat. hatte zum Zeitpunkt der Transplantation einen mittleren MELD von 27,66 +/- 5,1 Punkten (21 bis 40). 20 Pat. wurden aufgrund des Labor-MELD (28,4 +/- 5,3, 24-40) transplantiert, wobei 7 Pat. einen MELD über 30 aufwiesen. Die Wartezeit lag bei 11,55 +/- 5,3 Tagen. 8 Pat. erhielten bei SE bei HCC (MELD 24 +/- 0, 24) ein Organ nach einer Wartezeit von 320 +/- 9,7 Tagen. Aktuell leben 23 der 28 transplantierten Pat. Bei zwei verstorbenen Pat. war die Todesursache ein kardiales Versagen, bei zwei Patienten eine primäre Non-Funktion sowie ein septisches Multiorganversagen. Schlussfolgerung: Während der ersten Monate der MELD Allokation lag die Letalität auf der WL in unserem Zentrum bei 4%. Patienten mit einem mittleren MELD über 27 erhielten Organangebote und konnten nach kurzer Wartezeit transplantiert werden.
- A multi-variant, viral dynamic model of genotype 1 HCV to assess the in vivo evolution of protease-inhibitor resistant variants (2010)
- Variants resistant to compounds specifically targeting HCV are observed in clinical trials. A multi-variant viral dynamic model was developed to quantify the evolution and in vivo fitness of variants in subjects dosed with monotherapy of an HCV protease inhibitor, telaprevir. Variant fitness was estimated using a model in which variants were selected by competition for shared limited replication space. Fitness was represented in the absence of telaprevir by different variant production rate constants and in the presence of telaprevir by additional antiviral blockage by telaprevir. Model parameters, including rate constants for viral production, clearance, and effective telaprevir concentration, were estimated from 1) plasma HCV RNA levels of subjects before, during, and after dosing, 2) post-dosing prevalence of plasma variants from subjects, and 3) sensitivity of variants to telaprevir in the HCV replicon. The model provided a good fit to plasma HCV RNA levels observed both during and after telaprevir dosing, as well as to variant prevalence observed after telaprevir dosing. After an initial sharp decline in HCV RNA levels during dosing with telaprevir, HCV RNA levels increased in some subjects. The model predicted this increase to be caused by pre-existing variants with sufficient fitness to expand once available replication space increased due to rapid clearance of wild-type (WT) virus. The average replicative fitness estimates in the absence of telaprevir ranged from 1% to 68% of WT fitness. Compared to the relative fitness method, the in vivo estimates from the viral dynamic model corresponded more closely to in vitro replicon data, as well as to qualitative behaviors observed in both on-dosing and long-term post-dosing clinical data. The modeling fitness estimates were robust in sensitivity analyses in which the restoration dynamics of replication space and assumptions of HCV mutation rates were varied.
- Response prediction in chronic hepatitis C by assessment of IP-10 and IL28B-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (2011)
- Background: High baseline levels of IP-10 predict a slower first phase decline in HCV RNA and a poor outcome following interferon/ribavirin therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Several recent studies report that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) adjacent to IL28B predict spontaneous resolution of HCV infection and outcome of treatment among HCV genotype 1 infected patients. Methods and Findings: In the present study, we correlated the occurrence of variants at three such SNPs (rs12979860, rs12980275, and rs8099917) with pretreatment plasma IP-10 and HCV RNA throughout therapy within a phase III treatment trial (HCV-DITTO) involving 253 Caucasian patients. The favorable SNP variants (CC, AA, and TT, respectively) were associated with lower baseline IP-10 (P = 0.02, P = 0.01, P = 0.04) and were less common among HCV genotype 1 infected patients than genotype 2/3 (P<0.0001, P<0.0001, and P = 0.01). Patients carrying favorable SNP genotypes had higher baseline viral load than those carrying unfavorable variants (P = 0.0013, P = 0.029, P = 0.0004 respectively). Among HCV genotype 1 infected carriers of the favorable C, A, or T alleles, IP-10 below 150 pg/mL significantly predicted a more pronounced reduction of HCV RNA from day 0 to 4 (first phase decline), which translated into increased rates of RVR (62%, 53%, and 39%) and SVR (85%, 76%, and 75% respectively) among homozygous carriers with baseline IP-10 below 150 pg/mL. In multivariate analyses of genotype 1-infected patients, baseline IP-10 and C genotype at rs12979860 independently predicted the first phase viral decline and RVR, which in turn independently predicted SVR. Conclusions: Concomitant assessment of pretreatment IP-10 and IL28B-related SNPs augments the prediction of the first phase decline in HCV RNA, RVR, and final therapeutic outcome.
- Serum microRNA-21 as marker for necroinflammation in hepatitis C patients with and without hepatocellular carcinoma (2011)
- Background: MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) is up-regulated in tumor tissue of patients with malignant diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Elevated concentrations of miR-21 have also been found in sera or plasma from patients with malignancies, rendering it an interesting candidate as serum/plasma marker for malignancies. Here we correlated serum miR-21 levels with clinical parameters in patients with different stages of chronic hepatitis C virus infection (CHC) and CHC-associated HCC. Methodology/Principal Findings: 62 CHC patients, 29 patients with CHC and HCC and 19 healthy controls were prospectively enrolled. RNA was extracted from the sera and miR-21 as well as miR-16 levels were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR; miR-21 levels (normalized by miR-16) were correlated with standard liver parameters, histological grading and staging of CHC. The data show that serum levels of miR-21 were elevated in patients with CHC compared to healthy controls (P<0.001); there was no difference between serum miR-21 in patients with CHC and CHC-associated HCC. Serum miR-21 levels correlated with histological activity index (HAI) in the liver (r = −0.494, P = 0.00002), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (r = −0.309, P = 0.007), aspartate aminotransferase (r = −0.495, P = 0.000007), bilirubin (r = −0.362, P = 0.002), international normalized ratio (r = −0.338, P = 0.034) and γ-glutamyltransferase (r = −0.244, P = 0.034). Multivariate analysis revealed that ALT and miR-21 serum levels were independently associated with HAI. At a cut-off dCT of 1.96, miR-21 discriminated between minimal and mild-severe necroinflammation (AUC = 0.758) with a sensitivity of 53.3% and a specificity of 95.2%. Conclusions/Significance: The serum miR-21 level is a marker for necroinflammatory activity, but does not differ between patients with HCV and HCV-induced HCC.

Comments about 16 oz. Titanium Smooth/Curved 18 in. Hickory Handle Framing Hammer:
Though retired, I do a lot of home improvements and volunteer projects (Habitat, church, etc.). My family has a long history with E*****g hammers. I thought Stilettos were overpriced status symbols of clever advertising. But, a pro carpenter urged me to try his 18 inch 16 oz Stiletto on a community project. Could not believe how easily I could start and sink 16 oz galvanized nails (with proper end-hold, of course). Decades of hard work prompt me to appreciate this hammer's mechanical advantage. To keep working, I need a few advantages. This hammer is a help! It's too long for my tool bag, though.

This product is warranted by Stiletto Tools for one (1) year from the date of purchase against defects in workmanship and materials, with proof of purchase. During the warranty period, Stiletto will repair or replace a defective product with a new or reconditioned part or product, depending on the availability at the time of replacement.
This warranty covers normal usage and does not cover damage which results from accident, misuse, abuse, vandalism, neglect or improper maintenance. The warranty does not cover damage which results from unauthorized repairs, alterations or modifications. This warranty does not cover damage to hammer which results from striking hammer against hardened steel tools, i.e. cat's paw, chisel, hardened nail, bolts, etc.
1. Any product being returned to Stiletto Tools must be accompanied by a "Stiletto Tools Warranty Claim" form with an RMA# on the form and on the box in which it is returned. This form will be faxed to you after calling us and stating the problem. The claim form must be filled out completely, stating the date of purchase and reason for the return. This form must accompany the product being returned with the RMA#.
2. Each time a customer returns a Stiletto product to a retail establishment for a warranty claim, the retail staff should do a preliminary analysis as to whether a new product should be given to the customer in exchange for the returned product. (For example, a missing magnet or a broken handle can easily be repaired and a new tool should not be given in exchange in such circumstances.)
3. While the qualities of lightweight Titanium can reduce fatigue and sore elbows, and has a better nail-gripping adhesion, it should not be struck upon hardened objects. This could result in damage to the face of the hammer. Our test results have shown that our hammer will not wear excessively from normal use with all types of common nails. Although some wear will occur, it would not significantly reduce the nail-gripping performance of the titanium hammer face.
All warranty claims must be called into Stiletto first, before any action will be taken. Failure to contact Stiletto will lead to delay in replacement, repair, or credit.
The majority of Warranty returns to Stiletto are for broken wooden handles, and an entire product is wrongly returned to us for an easily replaceable wooden handle, whereas truly defective Titanium heads are uncommon. This is why it is so important for a retailer carrying our hammers to stock our replacement handles.
For warranty claims of defective castings, ie. cracked or broken claws, casting voids, etc., our Customer Service Dept should be notified immediately of the claim @ (800) 987-1849, and an RMA # will be issued for return to Stiletto for review. Pending evaluation those verified claims would be credited back to the customer, and a credit memo copy sent via fax to the customer.
Providing the following information will enable us to better expedite the processing of your returns:
1. Stiletto RMA # clearly marked on product or return carton.
2. Stated reasons for return of product.

THEO 631 Catechesis 3 sem. hrs.
This course is intended to assist the student in learning the history, the diversity of techniques, the gravity and importance as well as the various methods the Catholic Church has used and continues to employ in order to instruct its members. The student will come to understand not only the history of religious education in the Church, but the various significant people and the methods and values that have been critical to competent catechesis (i.e. instruction), making known to the faithful the CONTENT of the faith. People with a spirituality, must also have the content of the faith presented and explained. A people who know the content of the faith, must see how it is spiritually significant, i.e., how the "Big Story" of salvation, can be the context for the smaller but significant "Little Stories" of the faith lives of individuals. The course employs an historical methodology that indicates both successes and failures in the history of catechetics and especially how, in the years since Vatican II, the Church has returned to the catechumenate (in the form of the RCIA), to reappropriate the communal and experiential aspect of embracing the faith; something that was missing when instruction in the faith was limited to the memorization of the Catechism. In other words, at the bottom of this course in not only an historical presentation and analysis of the enterprise of catechetics, but a presentation of the importance of understanding enculturation and missionary work as well as the unique Roman Catholic anthropology that is the foundation for proper and successful instruction in the faith.
