I love Architectural photography and the many challenges it brings. I come from the old school approach when it comes to this type of work. The lighting is so complex, the slightest change in prospective requires a completely new lighting setup. The work can be very tedious at time, but is also so very rewarding when it all comes together.
Blackmore Residences, Redwood City Ca. Designed by Kastrop Group Architects, of Redwood City, Ca.
This project called for a very unique, clean design. Owner builder Jim Blackmore, has a keen eye for beauty and fine detail and an abundance of skill to achieve the quality craftsmanship needed for this remodel. It was an honer to work with such a talented team of individuals on this project, which was intended for submission to Fine Home Building, Kitchen's & Bath's special edition.
The Kitchen features a handcrafted oak cabinets.
The Master bedroom features oak hardwood floors and walnut trim throughout.
The Master Bath far left, features a beautiful, unique curved glass shower enclosure and marble throughout. The Living room features vaulted ceiling. shot from the breakfast nook adjoining the far side of the kitchen.
WOW!! What a thrill! My first trip to Las Vegas, was on assignment to photograph the Excalibur Hotel Casino. Of course the best veiw for this project just happened to be from a suit on the top floor of the MGM Grand across the street. The Excalibur Hotel, Casino, Las Vegas, NV. Needless to say I love Las Vegas and hope to return very soon

A modern producer's mic amp that goes from gentle warming to serious distortion.
The Solid State Logic X-Rack VHD Microphone Preamp is an input module that has a front end combining classic SSL character with Solid State Logic's new Variable Harmonic Drive circuit. You get a time machine of overdrive characteristics.
What is VHD?
It may look like just another knob, but SSL's VHD (Variable Harmonic Drive) preamp is far from a traditional linear gain control - it's more like a time machine of overdrive characteristics.
When VHD is used in conjunction with the input gain control, a huge variety of preamp sounds can be created, from gentle warming to serious distortion.
At relatively low input gain settings the VHD Pre preamps deliver transparent signals with all of the sonic fidelity you'd expect from SSL. As the input gain setting is increased, more of the signal is passed to the Variable Harmonic Drive circuit, increasing the intensity of the effect from subtle to extreme. By adjusting the VHD control the distortion characteristics can be shifted from '50s valve-style overdrive (if the VHD selection control is turned fully anti-clockwise for 2nd harmonic distortion) to '70s transistor-style grit (if the VHD selection control is turned fully clockwise for 3rd harmonic distortion)… or a blend of the two.
As a feature of Duality, XLogic E Signature Channel and XLogic Alpha Channel, VHD is used in studios around the world and is rapidly establishing itself as the 'go-to' tool that allows modern producers to achieve a sound that evokes the sonic heritage of SSL while adding a strong contemporary edge.
- Electronically balanced ultra-high bandwidth Mic input with +20dB to +70dB gain control
- Hi-Z and Pad Switches on Mic Amp Input
- Dedicated Additional XLR Line Input
- Variable Harmonic Drive circuit adds a controllable blend of 2nd or 3rd Harmonic distortion
- Dedicated Trim control after the VHD stage
- Classic Listen Mic Compressor with fixed attack and release curves… ideal for drums
- High and Low-Pass Filters

portfolio: Prosthetic Haptic Interface System Project
client: DEKA Integrated Solutions Corp. (DARPA's Revolutionizing Prosthetics Program)
the prosthetic haptic interface system was developed as part of DARPA's Revolutionizing Prosthetics program to return the sense of touch to amputees, and refine the control mechanism used for high-level upper limb prosthetic devices by enabling the amputee to have sensory input and thereby accomplish two things:
no longer only rely on visual input alone for sensory feedback in grasping and manipulation;
provide heretofore absent exteroception - i.e., sensing of environmental - variables such as, vibration, surface texture and friction.
by providing the user with sensory input via haptic tactors that convey pressure, vibration, and shear, the prosthetic user will be informed of his/her tactile environment in addition to vision and therefore respond with motor output that is superior to what is allowed with current technology. Furthermore, the effect of applying haptic cues to an amputee's reinnervated skin in response to functional exploratory tasks will improve his sense that the artificial limb is part of his body. (Increase the perceived correlation between his phantom limb and his prosthetic limb.)
in the intact arm, haptic sensing and motor control work in close coordination. For example, haptic feedback allows the motor system to control grip strength, ensuring that fragile objects are not crushed, and that objects of all different weights, sizes and shapes can be held and not dropped. The cutaneous sensors in the skin of the fingertips are especially important in this regard.
our objective on this project was to provide amputees with a haptic prosthesis; a set of artificial senses that enable intuitive and effective control of grip strength. kuiken's reinnervation technique provides such an opportunity. In the process of reinnervating muscles, Kuiken demonstrated reinnervation of cutaneous afferents.
system description
the prosthetic haptic interface system is composed of three major subcomponents. These being:
fingertip sensor - this sensor is mounted on the 'fingertip' of a prosthetic hand and senses forces and accelerations imparted at the fingertip while the user interacts and/or grasps different object. with this information the sensation of graded pressure, and differing textures and/or surface frictions can be artificially recreated.
haptic tactor - displays the artifically recreated forces, textures, and friction 'felt' (sensed) by the fingertip sensor. (For more information see publication titled On the Design of Miniature Haptic Devices for Upper Extremity Prosthetics; IEEE-ASME Transactions on Mechatronics; Feb. 2010)
embedded controller system - the controller is the brains of the system, here the signals from the fingertip sensor are translated into command signals that recreate the haptic sensations at the haptic tactor.
see gallery for pictures of these subcomponents.
the pictures and videos below show the evolution of the fingertip sensor and the haptic tactor that were developed for use by target reinnervated patients (TRI) under the DARPA's Revolutionizing Prosthetics program. Although, TRI patients were the motivation for this haptic system, it can also be used and provide functional feedback to all amputees.

Snick the Dog's page for NYCSR
UPDATE as of 12/02/2009: We're so excited to have raised $695.00 of our $1000.00 fund raising goal, that we're extending our target date to December 25th to see if we can make it.
hi friends!
on november 27, i will be SIX YEARS OLD! mom thought long and hard about having a birthday party for me this year but we decided this was a better way to celebrate.
i was lucky enough to be born at the home of a good breeder and then moved to my mom's house to be loved forever by her, her family and her friends. not all doggies are so lucky though. nyc shiba rescue is my favorite charity because they save shiba inus. they are an all volunteer foster organization that takes in shibas and shiba mixes from shelters and people who cant keep them. they foster them (a couple have even lived with me and mom!) until a nice family wants to give them a happy home forever.
unfortunately, because of the economy, nycsr is having a hard time helping shibas right now. that upsets my mom and anything that upsets my mom, upsets me too. i would like all my friends to wish me happy birthday with a gift to nycsr so they can help more shibas. i haz a lot of friends, so if everyone gives even just a dollar or two it will add up. and if you can give more we would really REALLY like that. (oh and your donation is tax deductible.)
we chose to use firstgiving because (1) donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure and (2) you can leave me a little birthday note along with your donation. ^-,-^ this is my birthday party after all, so i want to know who attended!
many thanks for your support and please maybe forward this link to any peeples who you think might also want to help some shibas.
shiba kisses,

This study will determine the pathways between Mohawk cultural identification and specific behaviors related to pollutant exposure, and determine the effects of these factors and the pollutant exposure on physiologically and socially significant outcomes.

|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Mohawk Culture, Behavior, Toxicant Exposure and Health
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Completion Date:
|July 2005
|Primary Completion Date:
|July 2005 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Considerable concern now exists over possible effects on human physical and psychological development of endocrine disrupting environmental contaminants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Native American communities are particularly at risk owing to subsistence systems and a cultural ethos involving greater contact with the physical environment. The proposed study follows-up 220 Mohawk adolescents aged 17-21 years, who participated in a previous study when they were 10-16 years old. All adolescents are members of the Mohawk Nation at Akwesasne which is located on the St. Lawrence River and is adjacent to hazardous waste sites where PCBs have contaminated the local ecology. The investigation examines the interrelationship between Mohawk cultural identity, traditional Mohawk customs, behaviors related to toxicant exposure and current toxicant burden. Serum level of PCBs will be assessed by congener specific analysis. The study will determine the relationship of congeners and their hydroxylated metabolites to thyroid function (levels of triiodothyronine, free triiodothyronine, thyroxine, free thyroxine, thyrotropin and anti-thyroid antibodies), and 2) psychosocial outcomes including school behavior and performance, hyperactivity, and adaptation to the community. Data gathered for the past study will be employed to assess variation in metabolism of PCBs, as well as how earlier measures of cognition and hyperactivity relate to 17 year old psychosocial outcomes. Variation in susceptibility to PCB effects will be determined by examining the effects of concurrent toxicant exposure (hexachlorobenzene, Mirex, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethene, lead), diet, and indicators of PCB metabolism, on the focal measures of adult functioning. The proposed study will clarify the causal pathways between culturally identifying behavior, PCB exposure and body burden, thyroid functioning, cognitive functioning, social behavior and school functioning while identifying activities that are important to maintain cultural identify and unrelated to exposure.

Jonah Ballow
Watching Iman Shumpert complete a one-handed windmill dunk provided all the necessary information to assess his current health. The rookie was back on the floor on Tuesday at Madison Square Garden Training Center and seems ahead of schedule for a possible return to game action after suffering a sprained knee injury in the win over Boston on Christmas Day.
"Earlier, I worked out hard. I did a lot of shooting, cutting, a lot of jumping, just to see what I could get out of it. Everything felt good and felt stable," Shumpert explained.
When asked about the speedy recovery, Shumpert joked, "I'm young. I'm pretty health all the time, so I've bounced back from some injuries pretty quick, so I was kind of leaning on my youth to get me back quick."
Another familiar face joined the basketball activities on Tuesday as Amar'e Stoudemire hit the court after missing two consecutive games with a sprained ankle. The Knicks All-Star remains a gametime decision but similar to Shumpert, he looked strong while participating in drills and a 3-on-3 game.
"I feel good," Stoudemire emphatically stated. "Today was a great indication of how my ankle feels. I came out and was able to practice a little bit today."
For Stoudemire, the time on the bench has presented an opportunity to view the games from a different perspective. The frustration of watching his squad suffer a loss to Toronto is not an easy pill to swallow but the big man is taking advantage of the time to see what the team needs in terms of improvement.
"You know it's always great when you have time to actually watch the games. You can analyze from a far. What I have noticed is that we are playing pretty good defense – our offense is a little bit static. It's something we've talked about since we started but it's a matter of us moving the ball and becoming more comfortable with the offense and becoming confident," Stoudemire added.
Stay tuned to KnicksNow.com for a scouting report on Wednesday morning with assistant coach Dan D'Antoni breaking down the matchup against the Bobcats.

Laura started off the season well this past weekend at the Montreat College Tournament. Roerig came off the been to spark the Golden Eagles attack. Laura won a ball in the midfield and send a long pass over the top of Montreat's defense to freshman Kelsey Gensler who headed the ball over the GK for the first goal of the game in the 42nd minute. Roerig then scored a very nice goal just 1 second before halftime to give Cornersetone a 2-0 lead. Cornerestone was awarded a corner kick with about 12 seconds on the clock. Kerri Hoffman quickly got to the corner and served it into the box. Roerig ran accross her defender and hit a half-volley into the lower right side of the goal with just 1 second on the clock. Cornerstone would go on to win the game 3-0 and would score all three goals within a 6 minute period.

Japan has eased restrictions on beef imposed due to concerns over mad cow disease, easing a decade-long row between the allies. Japan, formerly the largest buyer of US beef, had agreed to allow the import of the meat from cattle slaughtered at up to 30 months old, higher than the earlier safety limit of 20 months.

The Tattoo
--- Making a Permanent Impression Since 1994 ---
Not every teenager lives in an alien world of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. The Nutmeg Big Brothers/Big Sisters Waiting List Program is an example of a fun, helpful activity that teens can participate in and even, shockingly, control. The Nutmeg program is a volunteer group for high school students. The program fills a critical void for children in the community and lets high schoolers test their childcare skills. Most of the children, ages seven to 11, have been waiting for a Big Brother or Sister for several years. The students, not yet 18, are too young to become official Big Brothers or Sisters. The Waiting List Program was recently developed under the guidance of Cathy Perkins, a case manager for the local Big Brothers/Big Sisters program. The teens and children are screened to test their eligibility. At present, the program takes place at St. Paul Catholic High School one Friday a month. Three high school girls from Bristol schools and eight to 10 elementary school kids take part in the program. "They are a real great group of teens who are dedicated to the program. They have done a good job of making the kids feel special," Perkins said. It is not a chore for them to deal with the kids, who are mostly all boys. Many of the program's children come from single parent families. Perkins said she gives the parents "a lot of credit. They are under pressure in their lives, but still make sure the everyday needs of their children are met." The students are the decision makers for the planned activities. "I only help if they're stuck and I supervise to see that things are going smoothly," Perkins said. With the budget of this unique program supported solely by the United Way and some group fundraisers during the year, there isn't a huge supply of funds available. Students sometimes bring in supplies from home so the crafts stay economical. The activities range from playing Twister to baking cookies. Holidays provide many ideas, including pumpkin decorating and a Christmas treasure hunt. Perkins said the kids idolize the teenagers and the teens adore them. "I do feel that the program is successful because I have gotten positive feedback from parents and kids. They're really excited," Perkins said. For information on the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Waiting List Program, contact Cathy Perkins at the Nutmeg Big Brothers/Big Sisters office at 160 Farmington Ave. The phone number is 583-9225.

Arab Spring brings greater restrictions on religion
Catholic World News - June 20, 2013
The fallout from the 'Arab Spring' uprisings has contributed to a sharp increase in restrictions on religion worldwide, the Pew Forum reports.
Stricter government regulation of religious affairs and popular hostility to religion have risen most notably in the Islamic countries that saw the 'Arab Spring' protests.
The Pew study found a rise in the number of countries where religion is restricted, and also in the percentage of the world's people living in such countries. This attributable to the fact that many countries that saw rising hostility to faith are among the world's most populous nations, including China, Pakistan, Nigeria, and Egypt.

Q.E.D. How many times must it be repeated that Islam is not only the enemy of reason and the secular West, but the deadliest enemy Catholicism has ever faced? How many Christians must those who hold Mohammed to be a prophet kill before we finally recognize this ideology (what it really is) to be the enemy of the Faith? How long before we stop treating is as just another religion among many? When will we realize at last that, conservative, moderate, or radical, Islam is deadly heretical poison?

Opened in September 2012, the Kadampa Primary School Derbyshire offers children from ages 3 – 11 years old a new way of enjoying learning. Here children are encouraged to develop practical skills through outdoor learning and creative interactive time in the classroom. The environments of the Pre-School / Early Years (3 – 5 year olds) and Key Stage 1 (5 – 7 year olds) are strongly influenced by Montessori methodology. The children are also taught how to keep and maintain peaceful and compassionate attitudes through learning simple meditation techniques.
Teachers have been carefully selected from around the world and show the children living examples of how to reach their potential while increasing their own inner peace and good qualities. Although the school has a core Buddhist ethos it is open to everyone, regardless of beliefs or background.
The aim of the school is to help children reach their own potential, enjoy learning and become the best person they can be. With a warm, open and compassionate atmosphere it offers a very special, yet powerful learning environment that goes beyond just intellect development.

A beloved colleague and friend, Marie Février, a patient care associate at the MGH, died Dec. 30 at the age of 60.
In memoriam: Marie Février
A beloved colleague and friend, Marie Février, a patient care associate at the MGH, died Dec. 30 at the age of 60. Février, who worked on the Ellison 10 cardiac step-down unit for the past 15 years, was known for her vibrant personality and compassionate care of patients.
"Marie will be greatly missed. Her gentleness and kindness touched thousands of staff, patients and families," says Cristina Bethune, RN, nursing director Ellison 10. "Her dedication to exemplary patient care was evident in her long career at the MGH. Her loss has touched us deeply, but her memory will forever bring smiles to our hearts."
Février was born in Port Salut Cayes, Haiti in 1953. She came to the U.S. in 1988 because she wanted a better life for herself and her family. After attending school in Everett, Février received certificates in phlebotomy and nursing assistance. She began working at the MGH as a patient care associate in 1998.
"I have known and worked with Marie for many years and my heart is very heavy today knowing she is no longer with us. She was a beautiful and gentle soul who loved her family and was so kind to her patients and the nurses," says Lori Mazzarelli, RN, Ellison 10.
"One of my fondest memories of Marie is of her showing off her Zumba moves in the staff lounge. She could dance. Laughter, vitality and energy – she had it all," says Deborah Cupp, RN, Ellison 10.
Février was predeceased by her husband, Joseph. She is survived by two sons, Delson and Odain; a daughter, Daphne; two brothers, Jean Claude Antoine and Jean Rones Antoine; and four grandchildren.
A funeral service has been held.

The FR 2420 is a transaction-based report that collects daily liability data on federal funds, Eurodollar transactions, and certificates of deposits (CDs) from (1) domestically chartered commercial banks and thrifts that have $26 billion or more in total assets and (2) U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks with total third-party assets of $900 million or more.
Purpose: The FR 2420 data is used to support a range of functions including the daily implementation of monetary policy and the analysis of broad money market conditions.
The Federal Reserve established the FR 2420 to improve the ability to monitor money markets. Given that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY), on behalf of the Federal Reserve, implements temporary open market operations, at the directive of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), in money markets, having transaction data from these money markets provides insight into market functioning. The FR 2420 collects transaction-level data, including transactions executed through brokers and those transacted directly between counterparties. The new data collection also includes term federal funds transactions. Similarly, for Eurodollars (dollar-denominated liabilities outside the U.S.), the FR 2420 collects transaction-level detail, including transactions executed directly between counterparties. The FR 2420 provides rate level information on CDs that include negotiable and non-negotiable instruments.
Respondent Panel:
The FR 2420 reporting panel is comprised of commercial banks, thrifts, and branches and agencies of foreign banks. Commercial banks and thrifts with $26 billion or more in total assets on the September 30 Call Report each year are required to report the FR 2420 daily for the following year. U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks that have third-party assets of $900 million or more on the September 30 FFIEC 002 each year are required to report the FR 2420 daily for the following year.
The FR 2420 is collected daily.
Public Release:
Microdata from the FR 2420 are considered confidential and are not published.

Bacolod is now the football city-A A +A
Tuesday, April 22, 2014
THIS writer greets readers a Happy Easter as we ended the Lenten Season last Sunday. Several homecomings of our Alma Mater, and family reunions were timed for the occasion as families got reunited for a day or two.
Safety measures were initiated by government agencies to ensure that motorists got assistance as they traveled to their respective destinations. But the government should always be on guard daily of its services to the public. It should not be for mere "pogi" points by doing special tasks on special days. The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board should do its job in making sure that public utility vehicles do not travel with worn out tires (which we noticed along the highway) and that proper vehicle lights are in order. The problem with government is that they serve the people during office hours only. They are not serious and passionate.
Our friends at the Land Transportation Office should perform night operations when more violators are in sight. How about the tricycles that ply the highways without lights and reflective devices? Even the Department of Public Works and Highways are remiss of their duty to oblige contractors to install reflective signage in their road projects. Does anybody care?
Bacolod City is preparing itself to be the venue of the 2014 AFC President's Cup on May 6 to 10. The team from the Philippines is represented by Ceres-La Salle Football team passionately initiated by the Yanson Family of Negros Occidental. The Yanson clan should be given due recognition for their efforts in sharing their passion, resources and dedication in creating a football team worth representing Bacolod City and Negros Occidental and the Philippines as a whole.
The teams that will compete in Bacolod City are those from Turkemenistan, Taiwan and North Korea. With these champion teams competing, we encourage members of football clubs and football teams from several schools to watch the games daily. Some areas of the Panaad Park and Stadium will offer free viewing during the games.
Bacolod City Mayor Monico Puentevella is pooling muscles for this football competition, making the city a sports tourism city and giving the residents of the city and the province the opportunity to watch and experience first class football play. Organizers of this event should send out formal invitation to football clubs and school teams to ensure that they are aware of the event and make them witness the football games as their process of actual game experience viewing.
Sports writers will cover this football encounter and local media guys Allen del Carmen and Scoop president Jerome Galunan Jr. are ensuring massive media coverage of the games to give Bacolod City a good mileage to the world of football.
This column greets big bikers Dan Atayde, Mikey Benedicto, Bobby Tinsay and Boody Valderrama; Pipoy Olaira of Nature's Spring Water; Willy Uy Au and Frank Carbon; Rotarians Doc Chris Sorongon, Van Encabo and Jane Lizares; Mike Arimas and Julius Abiera; Doc Herm Javellana and Humberto J. Colmenares; Marjotin and Myshka Javellana; Erlinda Regalado; Linus and Joy Jimenez; and Dr. Ronel Quinon.

The Food And Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced that it had asked Pfizer to withdraw Bextra (valdecoxib) from the market. Pending further discussions with the FDA, Pfizer has agreed to suspend sales and marketing of the medication, which had been indicated for treating osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and dysmenorrhea.
In a FDA Public Health Advisory, the agency said the overall risk versus benefit profile of Bextra was "unfavorable." It cited a lack of adequate data on the cardiovascular safety of long-term use of Bextra; reports of serious and potentially life-threatening skin reactions; and a lack of any demonstrated advantages for Bextra compared with other NSAIDs.
In the same Public Health Advisory, the FDA concluded the benefits of Celebrex (Pfizer) outweigh the risks as long as practitioners ensure appropriate patient selection. It emphasized revised labeling for the drug to include more information about potential cardiovascular and gastrointestinal risks.

Cheerleader! Cheerleader!: An American Icon
Palgrave Macmillan, Jan 1, 2003 - History - 182 pages
Entertainers, sex objects, or athletes? Leaders, porn stars, or superstars? Cheerleaders, numbering 3.8 million in the United States alone, are part of everyone's school experiences and memories. Looking beyond the poms and megaphones, "Cheerleader!" "An American Icon" explores how cheerleading reflects our shifting beliefs about sports, entertainment, gender, and national identity. Natalie Guice Adams and Pamela J. Bettis trace cheerleading's history from its inception 135 years ago as a male leadership activity, through the sexual and sassy era epitomized by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, to its current incarnation as a physically demanding sport. Integrating history, pop culture, and interviews wiht cheerleaders of all ages, even those in the cheerleading business, Adams and Bettis simultaneously celebrate cheerleading and provide a critical analysis of this perennially popular activity. Poignant, hilarious, powerful, and ground-breaking, this is one book you won't want to be without.

Trained in classical music since you were 8, huh? Bullcrap, unless you are 8 and a half or you never studied theory because that is not a major scale. If he switched to Dorian mode all he would really have to do is move up a note in the major scale. Not too hard, especially if you don't know what you're doing. In fact, modulating is often easier to those not realizing they are doing it. They just follow along like they've heard it a million times because they probably have.
McFerrin is using a pentatonic scale. Learn it. Teach your kids it. 5 notes and they all resolve/end on any of them. That's why Orff used it. That's why you can jam with 5 year olds with it.
Oh yeah! I totally forgot about Zombie Bob Marley. He probably recorded it, and then Bobby McFerrin stole it. LoLz.
I agree, but I think that comes from being trained in classical music since I was 8. I can't see what the big deal is as they are following a major scale to a simple song. Now, lets say they were to suddenly go into Dorian Mode and the crowd still followed. I'd be drating impressed then.
Argh! No, it isn't freakin' Bob Marley, simpleton. The song was released in 1988 and Bob Marley died in 1981..
Leave it to the smart chick to counter the large amount of lameness present on IAB these last three or four months!
I feel a bit sorry for you, that you don't get it.
Everyone in the audience knows the exact next note in the pentatonic scale even without him showing them because it comes in a pattern in the human mind
Yes, he is.
"It's that they match the tone of EVERY other audience member,not that they predict what notes he haven't explained are."
Uhm...Actually, I'm pretty sure the amazing part is in fact that they predicted the undemonstrated notes.
If the audience's unity in tone repetition was the amazing part, then it'd have to be equally amazing if that same audience could all shout "Blue!" at the same time that Bobby held up some blue cardstock.
True.......but this was cool

A 25-year-old, with type I Diabetes Mellitus with a previous diagnosis of Protamine Allergy but not to human Insulin, started to notice anaphylactic reactions inmmediatly after bolus with Insulin. Skin prick and intradermal test were positive to all insulins. Skin tests to other potential allergens resulted negative. Examination after bolus of Human Insulin revealed urticaria. Daily insulin requirement were around 2-2,4 U/Kg/day. Slow desensitisation with Aspart insulin, the insulin with lowest size of skin test, was performed using subcutaneous insulin pump. Six months after the end of desensitisation his daily insulin requirement decreased to 0.8 U/Kg/day and oral corticosteroids are being reduced with no symptoms.
Drug hypersensitivity reactions by IgE-mediated mechanisms during therapies have been reported elsewhere. Diagnosis is based in a meticulous clinical history, but many times needs to be supported by skin and/or serological tests and, even sometimes, drug provocation tests since drug preparations may contain multiple potential allergens that can trigger reactions, including drug itself, carrier proteins [1] or additives [2]. Among drugs triggering allergy reactions, insulin allergy might be one of the hot and controversial topics, since it is usually the only known treatment in the case of patients suffering type I diabetes. Although the prevalence of suspected insulin allergy have been reported as high as 2.5% [3], diagnosis should be more accurate since less than one third of patients are finally diagnosed of true insulin allergy [4].
Case report
The patient is a 25-year-old builder with diabetes mellitus who was diagnosed at 23 years of age. Treatment with three daily injections of semi-synthetic human insulin was initially tolerated (Neutral protamine Hagedorn -NPH, Eli Lilly, Indianapolis, IN-: in the morning and in the evening and Lispro -Eli Lilly, Indianapolis, IN- in lunch-time). Glycosilated hemoglobin (HbA1c) controls were around 10%. He gradually started to develop wheals and flare local reactions following his injections of insulin. He was referred to Allergy Service of University Hospital NS Candelaria in April 2003. An initial exam at the Outpatient Clinic revealed strong sensitisation to Nickel Sulphate by patch test after 24, 48 and 96 hours. Separately, skin prick test (SPT) and intradermal test (ID) revealed sensitisation to Protamine (ID at 1:1000 dilution) but not to human insulin. Switch to Insulin without Protamine (Lispro -Eli Lilly, Indianapolis, IN) and subcutaneous insulin pump were both recommended. He did not observed any reaction for a 3-month period using Human regular insulin. Next, he started to notice local symptoms that progressively became worst. The symptoms included immediate episodes of wheals and flare reactions far from insertion site of the catheter, with intensive pruritus on palms and soles, and eventually dyspnea. Then, he developed similar symptoms 2–3 hours after bolus and occasionally some subcutaneos nodules.
Late 2004, he was hospitalised because ketoacidosis. Metil-prednisolone (15 mg/day) and hydroxicine were incorporated. Daily insulin requirement increased up to 2,4 U/Kg/day. He was reassessed at the Outpatient Clinic. SPT were positive to all insulins except Aspart (Novo Nordisk, Denmark). Serial ID showed positive test with Aspart at 1/100 dilution, Glargina (Aventis Pharma, Germany) at 1/100, zinc-crystalline insulin at 1/100, Lispro at 1/1,000 and Human regular insulin at 1/100.000. Skin tests to other potential allergens resulted negative. Specific IgE to protamine (0,43 kU/L), and bovine (2,5 kU/L), pork (3,9 kU/L) and human insulin (2,8 kU/L) were identified (negative: <0.35 kU/L; UniCAP, Pharmacia Diagnostics, Uppsala, Sweden). Controlled reexposure with a bolus of Regular Insulin revealed non-tender swelling with flares (5–6 cm of diameter) far from insertion of catheter without other symptoms. A biopsy specimen of the skin revealed subcutaneous edema with infiltrated cells, including eosinophils.
One month later, he was hospitalised because another cetoacydosis episode. As patient had the lowest grade of sensitisation to Aspart Insulin according to skin tests, and rapid insulin was needed, a desensitisation with Aspart insulin was proposed to him. Metil-prednidsolone 30 mg/day, but not hydroxicine, was maintained. Since his high requirement of insulin and risk of ketoacidosis, treatment with endovenous regular insulin was continued up to achieve enough dose of Aspart insulin to sustain him. After written and oral inform consent, desensitisation using subcutaneous insulin pump [5] was performed in 16 sessions (6–7 doses per day). It was started with 0.001 U and increased 2-fold with intervals of 15–30 min, repeating dose in the case of reaction (Table I). During first consecutive 7 sessions patient suffered flare reactions that were cleared up in few minutes without treatment (figure 1, 2 and 3). During all process ketonemia did not show significant changes and serum tryptase levels were normal, although serum histamine did increase 2-fold. Finally enough basal rate was maintained and "square bolus" up to 20 U could be applied without reactions. Six months after the end of desensitisation his daily insulin requirement decreased to 0.8 U/Kg/day and oral corticosteroids are being reduced (metilprednisolone 2 mg/48 h).
Multiples cases of allergy to insulin components have been described and reported [6] since it is the treatment for type I diabetic patients. Currently, the prevalence of reactions during insulin treatment seems to be around 2% [3], but less than one third of reported events have been considered related to insulin therapy [4]. Other multiples causes include protamine [7-9], latex[10], cresol, zinc, etc. IgE-mediated reactions have been reported with animal [11] and human insulin [12-15] including semisynthetic and biosynthetic insulins [5,16-21].
Many algorithms of insulin allergy diagnosis have been published although diagnosis is merely based in compatible clinical history and skin test [4] since many diabetic patients can have positive skin test and serum antibodies without clinical symptoms. Switch to insulin analogs has markedly decreased the number of allergic episodes [22-27], since allergenicity of insulin have been proposed by chemical changes in the terminal of B chain [18], where insulin analogs have the modified structure. For instance, Lispro is insulin with lysine and proline in positions 28 and 29, respectively, of beta chain, instead of proline and lysine as in human insulin. Aspart has aspartate in position 28 of beta chain instead of proline (figure 4). Glargine is insulin with arginine and proline in positions 28 and 29 respectively. However, these analogs have also ability to induce allergic episodes[5,16-21,28] and reduced immunogenicity has been more associated to its faster absorption than any changes in the immunogenic epitopes[25].
Figure 4. Terminal side of β chain (from aminoacid 23 to 30), including Insulin Receptor Binding (from aminoacid 23 to 25) of different insulins.
In this case, insulin pump [5,29] and slow desensitization protocol[30] have demonstrated usefulness to tolerate insulinen and has also helped to reduce insulin requirement as other authors have seen [31]. Although using insulin pump alone have been associated to decrease in insulin dosage [5], our patient was previously using insulin pump with high doses of required insulin. Thus, we could speculate that desensitisation have created a decrease of insulin requirement.
In the near future, anti-immunoglobulin E treatment with omalizumab will probably give another alternative to these patients before transplantation [32]

I am very pleased to have this opportunity to meet with you-to gain the benefit of your collective experiences in counter trafficking and share the focus behind our new policy.
Although we don't have precise numbers, as many as 27 million men, women and children may be essentially enslaved in sex or labor exploitation-more than double the population of New York, Los Angeles and Chicago combined.
I am very pleased to welcome you today for the launch of USAID's new Center of Excellence on Democracy, Human Rights and Governance. It is designed to become a core evidence-based resource in the field , and strengthen our own culture of data, research and evaluation within USAID. This Center represents our Agency-wide focus on measuring performance to determine what really works. Instead of driving our programming based the conclusions of a handful of experts, we will conduct ongoing, in-depth oral histories, impact evaluations and country assessments to understand where and how we can be most effective.
[As Prepared]
It's a great honor to be able to welcome the first group of Bush Institute Egyptian Fellows to Washington. You bring with you a wealth of experience in the arenas of education, health, business, politics, law and the media. You have achieved so much in your lives already - I understand that one of you is actually only 23 years old. I'm humbled. But then again, it is a sobering thought to think that when he Mozart was my age, he had been dead for 23 years.
Thank you for the opportunity to speak today. I'm pleased and honored to be here at Harvard University, and have an opportunity to discuss the evolving development landscape in Asia with you.
It's a great honor to speak here today on the topic of ensuring inclusive approaches toward peace processes and post-conflict peacebuilding. I want to thank American University's School of International Service and Julie Mertus in particular for their leadership in putting this program together, along with BlueLaw LLP, the Stimson Center, and Women Enabled. I also wanted to salute the work of our own dedicated professionals at USAID, including our Disability and Inclusive Development Coordinator Charlotte McLain-Nhlapo and Senior Governance Advisor Chloe Schweinke.
The fundamental reality is that immense challenges like climate change, poverty and food insecurity aren't going solved by traditional approaches. The scale of those challenges is so massive, they will require new innovations, driven by the transformational power of science and technology. To drive this approach forward, we are embracing innovation and science as a core part of our work-recapturing USAID's legacy of transformational development through technological breakthroughs. The legacy that helped bring us the Green Revolution and oral rehydration therapy. And a legacy that helped green the Sahel, transforming 50 million hectares threatened by desertification-an area larger than Sweden-into sustainably productive lands.
Good morning, and thank you, Noam, for that kind introduction and for your important work here. I'm pleased to be able to join you today and want to thank Brookings for all the great work that you've been doing in this space.
*As Prepared*
Good evening and thank you all for coming to this important event.
I want to acknowledge Senator Chris Coons, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on African Affairs. Senator Coons has been a passionate, astute and dedicated partner to developing nations from his very first day in office.

New Delhi - Nearly 80 years ago, Mohandas Gandhi addressed FICCI members at one of the organization's annual meetings.
Established in 1927, FICCI was a young organization then, with nowhere near the massive reach or scale that the organization now enjoys.
But one thing that has stayed the same throughout FICCI's history is its unifying belief. It is a belief that has FICCI such a powerful force for good in the world; a belief that strengthens India's reputation as a rising power.

Academic Tutoring is about making the idea of 'high expectation' a reality for each student. To achieve this, there must be someone who knows, motivates, supports and praises the student; this person generally being the tutor. A good academic mentoring policy will also involve other key staff for identified individual students, notably pastoral managers and the Senior Leadership Team.
The Academic Tutoring Day has been designed to provide parents/carers and students with the opportunity to have a meaningful discussion about the progress being made in various subjects. The discussion will also include how, by setting targets for improvement and working out an action plan, they may improve and eventually achieve their maximum potential, and how parent/carers may have a role in this.
We have 3 Academic Tutoring days on:
Tuesday 27 January 2015 - for 7 Atlas & 7 Castor (reply slip)
Wednesday 28 January 2015 - for 7 Deneb & 7 Mizar (reply slip)
Thursday 29 January 2015 - For 7 Rigel & 7 Sirius (reply slip)
To confirm your attendance, could parents/carers please fill in the attached reply slips (see above) for their son/or daughter's revelant registration group and return it to The Academy by Monday 19 Janurary.
We appreciated that many parents/carers have work commitments during the day, therefore appointments can be made with form tutors from 8am to 6.40pm. Each appointment will last twenty minutes, enabling form tutors to comment on progress in all subjects.
Students will attend normal lessons during Academic Turoring Day. Students will be expected to accompany parents/carers to the appointment, and will leave lessons five minutes early before the appointment time booked with their form tutor. If, for some reason, parents/carers are not able to attend on the day, students are still required to make an appointment themselves to meet with their form tutors.
For further information, please call 01432 373570, or alternatively you can email us: firstname.lastname@example.com with any enquiries you may have.

I came across the recipe for this hot appetizer years ago and have made it many tomes to share with friends and co-workers. Asparagus, ham and cheese combine into a fun finger food. —Nancy Ingersol, Midlothian, Illinois
- 16 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 16 thin slices fully cooked ham
- 16 slices process Swiss cheese
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- Canola oil
- In a large skillet, cook asparagus in a small amount of water until crisp-tender, about 6-8 minutes; drain well. Spread about 1 teaspoon of mustard on each ham slice. Top with one slice of cheese.
- Place an asparagus spear at one end (trim to fit if needed). Roll up each ham slice tightly; secure with three toothpicks. Dip ham rolls in egg, then roll in bread crumbs.
- In an electric skillet, heat 1 in. of oil to 350°. Fry rolls, a few at a time, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels; keep warm.
- Cut each roll between the toothpicks into three pieces. Yield: 4 dozen.

It would appear that Oregon is in the market for a graduate assistant coach on offense. Jim Fisher was named to that position for this year, but this entry of Oregon's official blog notes that he has accepted the position of assistant director of football operations/recruiting, and that Josh Gibson has been named football operations administrative and teamwork manager.
The entry also reports that placekicker Daniel Padilla has been granted his release in order to explore playing opportunities elsewhere.
Padilla would have been a redshirt sophomore for the Ducks this fall. He saw action as a true freshman in 2007, converting 3-of-4 field goal attempts and hitting on all seven of his extra point tries. He was brought to campus to compete for the starting job his first year but couldn't hold off Matt Evensen in 2007, and then Evensen and Morgan Flint last fall, when Padilla redshirted. Padilla entered this summer behind Flint and Rob Beard on the depth chart.
I've been poking around trying to get to the bottom of both situations recently, and while I didn't break the stories myself, I'd like to think that I at least had a hand in helping get the news to you.
