Hi All

Re there any reasons to keep the kit lens or should I get a few £s

Keep it. It works very well, generally, and there will be occasions when you don't want to lug the weight and bulk of the 18-250 around. It cost you very little in the first place and you will get very little for it when you try to sell it. And it's a useful thing to have anyway.

It's the ladies' turns to shine as Olympia competition gets underway.
Day 1 of competition is underway at the 2004 Olympia weekend and the ladies of figure, fitness and bodybuilding have warmed things up nicely with their respective prejudging performances.
The day started off with a tribute to a couple of bodybuilding legends, namely three-time Mr. Olympia ('67-'68-'69) Sergio Oliva and two-time Mr. Universe ('73-'74) Lou Ferrigno, who were inducted into the FLEX Bodybuilding Hall of Fame in a ceremony sponsored by Twinlab. Other inductees included Larry Scott, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lee Haney, Lenda Murray and Cory Everson.
Then it was the ladies' turn to take the Expo Center stage. The various rounds of fitness, figure and bodybuilding were interspersed throughout the day as a prelude to tonight's main event. Among the 15 figure and 14 fitness athletes it's hard to pick a frontrunner as of yet. In the fitness routines the bar seems to rise higher with each competition while in figure each competitor cut a striking profile. Of course perennial favorites Monica Brant, Jenny Lynn and defending Figure Olympia champion Davana Medina practically defied the audience to take their eyes off of them.
In bodybuilding a familiar story is unfolding as an incredibly ripped and muscular Iris Kyle looks to pose a serious threat to Lenda Murray's grip on her sport's top honor. Yaxeni Oriquen, coming in at a massive 167 pounds is looking to followup her NOC and GNC wins with an Olympia title of her own. In the lightweight class veteran contender Nancy Lewis is hoping to capitalize on the momentum she took from winning her class in Atlanta just three weeks ago.
Judging from the level of excellence witnessed throughout the day, tonight's show is going to bring down the house of Mandalay!

Good to hear about no clogging with 3rd party ink as that was my main worry. Octoink are distributors of Image Specialist ink funny enough, and yes I selected for same reason, people say its a good match of canons ink so less need for custom profiling.
You might want to take a look at red river paper, they seem pretty good value for money and do some good sample kits.

Commander of the al-Qassam Brigades killed in Israeli airstrike
Wed Nov 14, 2012 4:29PM
"During a joint operation of the General Security Service (Shin Bet) and the IDF today, Ahmed al-Jabari, the senior commander of the military wing of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, was targeted," a statement from the Shin Bet said.He is the most senior Hamas official to be killed since an Israeli offensive in Gaza four years ago. At least nine Palestinians have been killed and over 20 injured in the Israeli operation "Cloud Column." Shortly after the attack, an Israeli official said that Jabari's assassination in the Gaza Strip was not the end of Israel's assault on the coastal Palestinian territory and more strikes would follow. Israel also says over 20 sites in Gaza have been targeted in its fresh round of violence against the coastal enclave. Meanwhile, Izzeddin Qassam Brigades announced that Israel opened gates of hell to itself by killing Jabari. Islamic Jihad has also said that by killing Jabari, Israel has declared war on Gaza. According to the latest reports, missiles have been fired from Gaza to Sderot and Ashkelon in Israel. HM/AZ/SS

Private Incentives versus Class Interests: A Theory of Optimal Institutions with An Application to Growth
We build a dynamic political economy model with a two-class society: workers and the elite. A key feature of the model is that the formation of the elite, the rate of innovation, taxes and public spending are endogenous. Differently from most of the literature on institutions and growth which emphasizes the conflict between different classes, we focus on the tension between private incentives of the members of the elite and their class interests. Our model explains the observed differences in colonization strategies by showing how the optimal choice of institutions depends on the initial conditions faced by colonizing powers. The model also creates a mapping between institutions and economic outcomes which is consistent with the observed differences in the patterns of economic growth.

Extra innings? Future uncertain for Connie Mack after Senate race defeat
For decades, the Mack family has been part of the lives of Bernard Johnson and Laura Reinas, significant others from Bonita Springs.
Growing up in Philadelphia, Reinas came to know Connie Mack Stadium at the corner of North 21st Street and West Lehigh Avenue, named after the early-20th Century Hall of Fame baseball manager for the Philadelphia Athletics.
In Southwest Florida, local resident Bernard Johnson became acquainted with Connie Mack IV, his local congressman. At town hall events, local restaurants or the grocery store, Johnson always found himself running into Mack.
"He's just a guy who gives you a straight answer. He could explain anything to you in a few sentences," Johnson said at Mack's election night event Tuesday. "It's a great name. It's a great family."
After nearly 30 years in public office, first with Connie Mack III, then his son Connie Mack IV, one of Southwest Florida's most recognizable and politically influential families will soon step out of the spotlight. Mack IV, who ran this election cycle to take his father's old seat in the U.S. Senate, lost his race Tuesday against incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson, ending an almost uninterrupted run of Macks in the Florida Legislature or in Congress.
The family's future here remains cloudy.
Mack IV hasn't disclosed any plans following his loss, and his spread-out personal life makes any predictions difficult. His wife, U.S. Rep. Mary Bono-Mack, who represents a district in California, lost her congressional race. He has children from another marriage who live in Fort Lauderdale.
Mack wasn't made available for an interview following his defeat Tuesday, and his staff didn't respond to interview requests this week. The congressman told the News-Press in Fort Myers he's "not done," and he sounded like a politician with another run in him during a concession speech.
"We will continue to fight for those things that are important, those things that matter, those things that make America grow and move forward," Mack said. "We will continue with passion and grace to define the issues, to talk about what it is we believe in. This is not an end. This is just a beginning."
The Mack presence in Southwest Florida politics stretches back to 1982, when Mack III won his first primary, general election and runoff. Since that time, father and son never lost an election until Tuesday.
Mack III spent six years in the U.S. House and 12 in the U.S. Senate, followed by Mack IV's nearly three-year term in the Florida House serving Fort Lauderdale and eight years in the U.S. House representing Fort Myers.
"Connie's father is deeply respected, and he passed those same values on with his son," said Trey Radel, a family friend who will take over Mack's seat in Congress in January.
On the campaign trail, the family pushed the conservative values that have become synonymous with the Macks' tenure in office. As he introduced his son Tuesday, declaring his fatherly pride, Mack III said those principles will still define Southwest Florida.
"The ideas of lower taxes, less spending and more freedom will continue on," he said, "generation after generation."

Letter: Grateful for many who helped make Martin County elections run smoothly
Vicki Davis, Stuart
Letter: Grateful for many who helped make Martin County elections run smoothly
It is truly an honor and a privilege to supervise elections for Martin County. Before, during and after an election, emotions range from anticipation to elation and at times frustration. I would like to add one more to the mix: gratitude.
The 2012 general election ended with 79,453 Martin County residents casting their votes in the presidential election. Turnout was 78 percent of our 101,834 registered voters, compared to the state average of 71.15 percent. In Martin County, 40 percent voted by mail, 33 percent voted early and 27 percent voted on Election Day.
Voters were knowledgeable, engaged and excited about participating, as Martin County citizens consistently demonstrate. Our voters came prepared to navigate the ballot and the 11 proposed state constitutional amendments, which required careful reading.
Thank you to my staff for working diligently to ensure a smooth election. Our voter outreach program, "Countdown to Choose — Are You Election Ready?" was thorough and creative, helping voters become familiar with the process and issues. My seven full-time employees are among the hardest-working elections officials in the state, and I appreciate all they do.
Thank you, poll workers. This dedicated group worked long days during early voting and on Election Day.
Poll workers take very seriously their vital contribution to this cornerstone of our democratic republic, and they have an indispensable role in assisting voters through the process. Quite frankly, I don't know what we would do without you.
Most importantly, thank you to the voters. You embrace and demonstrate how deeply you cherish your responsibility as an American citizen to get out and vote.
Wishing all of you the best for the holidays and the New Year.
Vicki Davis is Martin County supervisor of elections.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveals details of living tissues, diseased organs and tumors inside the body without x-rays or surgery. What if the same technology could peer down to the level of atoms? Doctors could make visual diagnoses of a person's molecules examining damage on a strand of DNA, watching molecules misfold, or identifying a cancer cell by the proteins on its surface.
Now Dr. Carlos Meriles, associate professor of physics at The City College of New York, and an international team of researchers at the University of Stuttgart and elsewhere have opened the door for nanoscale MRI. They used tiny defects in diamonds to sense the magnetic resonance of molecules. They reported their results in the February 1 issue of Science.
"It is bringing MRI to a level comparable to an atomic force microscope," said Professor Meriles, referring to the device that traces the contours of atoms or tugs on a molecule to measure its strength. A nanoscale MRI could display how a molecule moves without touching it.
"Standard MRI typically gets to a resolution of 100 microns," about the width of a human hair, said Professor Meriles. "With extraordinary effort," he said, "it can get down to about 10 microns" the width of a couple of blood cells. Nanoscale MRI would have a resolution 1,000 to 10,000 times better.
To try to pick up magnetic resonance on such a small scale, the team took advantage of the spin of protons in an atom, a property usually used to investigate quantum computing. In particular, they used minute imperfections in diamonds.
Diamonds are crystals made up almost entirely of carbon atoms. When a nitrogen atom lodges next to a spot where a carbon atom is missing, however, it creates a defect known as a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center.
"These imperfections turn out to have a spin like a little compass and have some remarkable properties," noted Professor Meriles. In the last few years, researchers realized that these

You've undergone chemotherapy and are now a cancer survivor. You find that you are physically and mentally exhausted. You are probably not too surprised at that. After all, you went through a lot during your battle with cancer.
You may be more concerned with the mental deterioration than with the physical exhaustion. You may be constantly in a fog. You may have difficulty concentrating, focusing and remembering things. You may even start to think that you have Alzheimer's disease. I jokingly used to say, "I have chemobrain". I don't know where I picked up that term but I thought it was a non-medical vernacular term.
Did you know that chemobrain is a real medical condition? A recent UCLA study shows that chemotherapy causes changes to the brain's metabolism and blood. According to that study, chemotherapy patients experience disrupted thought processes and confusion.
Hospitals and cancer organizations are unanimous in recognizing chemobrain as a very real medical condition. Recently oncologist Dr Patricia Ganz received a grant from the National Cancer Institute to conduct a five year study on chemobrain.
Researchers from New York's University of Rochester found several types of key brain cells were highly vulnerable to the drugs used in chemotherapy. According to Dr Mark Noble of the University of Rochester, "This is the first study that puts chemobrain on a sound scientific footing."
From the Science Daily, "Cancer survivors, take note. The mental fog and forgetfulness of "chemo brain" are no figment of your imagination."
Now that we recognize that chemobrain is very real medical condition, what can we do about it? Here are some suggestions:
Establish routines.
Use a daily planner
Exercise your brain. Read, get a hobby, do volunteer work Take some courses.
Get sufficient rest and sleep.
Don't dwell on your chemobrain symptoms.
Talk to family, friends, and your healthcare team about your chemobrain
Remember, you are not dim-witted or nuts; you have a real side-effect to chemotherapy.
Researchers are also looking at different medications as possible treatments for chemobrain.
After undergoing chemotherapy, you may not want a medicine to treat the side effects of another medicine. Research suggests the following:
Exercise. It's a known fact that exercise can improve you mood, increase your energy and help your concentration.
A healthy diet.
Certain vitamins and supplements.
John Fink is a Stage IV Cancer Survivor

John Fink - EzineArticles Expert Author
World-renowned 6-time cancer survivor Phil Kerslake follows up his opening address to NZ's haematology & oncology nurses conference 2007 with this article, stating his case for oncology nurse advocacy for psychosocial (emotional) support measures applied tactically for cancer patients.
As increasing numbers and types of anti-cancer drugs are developed, oncologists become increasingly likely to misuse them in their practice. There is seldom a "standard" therapy which has been proven to be superior to any other therapy. When all studies are compared by meta-analysis, there is no difference. What may work for one, may not work for another.
Cancer chemotherapy could save more lives if pre-testing were incorporated into clinical medicine. The respected cancer journals are publishing articles that identify safer and more effective treatment regimens, yet few community oncologists are incorporating these synergistic methods into their clinical practice. Cancer patients suffer through chemotherapy sessions that do not integrate all possibilities.
Distinguishing between patients with a "high" or "low" risk for early recurrence after surgical resection and identifying those who may respond to correct adjuvant therapy have been topics of great interest for many years. Both genetic and functional assay analyses share a role in the development of "personalized" patient care.
A genomic test can help to find out if a cancer patient will likely have a recurrence after surgery. If a recurrence isn't likely, they don't need chemotherapy. Genetic tests have been developed for breast and lung cancers. Hopefully, there will be more tests for other types of cancer to guide physicians as to which "high" risk patient will likely have a recurrence if treated with surgery alone (1).
If the test finds a patient to be at "high" risk, it is impossible to design a single chemotherapy protocol that is effective against all types of cancer. The oncologist might need to administer several chemotherapy drugs at varying doses because tumor cells express survival factors with a wide degree of individual cell variability. A cell culture assay test, using a cell-death endpoint, can help see what treatments will not have the best opportunity of being successful (resistant) and identify drugs that have the best opportunity of being successful (sensitive).
The current clinical applications of in vitro chemosensitivity testing is ever more important with the influx of new "targeted" therapies. Given the technical and conceptual advantages of "functional profiling" of cell culture assays together with their performance and the modest efficacy for therapy prediction on analysis of genome expression, there is reason for renewed interest in these assays for optimized use of medical treatment of malignant disease (2).
The chemotherapy regimen chosen by most community oncologists is based on the type of cancer being treated. However, there are factors other than the type of cancer that can be used to determine the ideal chemotherapy drugs that should be used to treat an individual patient.
It is highly desirable to know what drugs are effective against particular cancer cells before these toxic agents are systemically administered. Pre-testing on "fresh" specimens of cancer cells to determine the optimal combination of chemotherapy drugs could be highly beneficial.
Following the collection of "fresh" cancer cells obtained at the time of biopsy or surgery, a cell culture assay is performed on the tumor sample to measure drug activity (sensitivity and resistance). This will pinpoint which drug(s) are most effective. The treatment program developed through this approach is known as assay-directed therapy.
At present, medical oncologists prescribe chemotherapy according to "fixed" schedules. These schedules are standardized drug regimens that correspond to specific cancers by type or diagnosis. These regimens, developed over many years of clinical trials, assign patients to the drugs which previously worked for some percentage of patients.
However, cancer is a disease whose hallmark is heterogeneity. It is well known that drugs which work for one patient often don't work for another and patients who fail to respond to first line chemotherapy with one regimen often respond to second or third line therapy with alternative drugs. Why not identify the right regimen before ever exposing a patient to a single course of chemotherapy? A failed attempt at chemotherapy is detrimental to the physical and emotional well being of patients, is financially burdensome, and may promote the onset of clinically acquired multi-drug resistance.
A "fresh" sample tumor can be obtained from surgery or biopsy (Tru-cut needle biopsies). Tissue, blood, bone marrow, and ascites and pleural effusions are possibilities, providing tumor cells are present, and only live cells should be used. At least one gram of fresh biopsy tissue is needed to perfom the tests, and a special kit is obtained in advance from the lab. Arrangements are made with the surgeon and/or pathologist for preparation and sending of the specimen.
Upgrading clinical therapy by using drug sensitivity assays measuring "cell death" of three dimensional microclusters of live "fresh" tumor cells can improve the conventional situation by allowing more drugs to be considered. The key to improving drug sensitivity tests is related to the number and types of drugs tested. The more anti-cancer drug types there are in the selective arsenal, the more likely the system is to prove beneficial.
In order to acquire sufficient data, tumors should be tested with at least two assay endpoints, and most often three, for sensitivity tests in any one patient. On average, up to twenty drugs and combinations at two concentrations in three different assay systems, is an effective way to avoid false-positive or false-negative data.
Assays based on "cell-death" occur in the entire population of tumor cells, as opposed to only in a small fraction of the tumor cells occurring in "cell-growth" assays. Drug "sensitivity" testing is merely a point a little farther along on the very same continuum upon which "resistance" testing resides, which has been proven to be accurate and reliable, as reported in numerous peer-reviewed publications.
Good review papers exist on cell culture assays and are increasingly appreciated and applied in the private sector by European clinicians and scientists. The literature on these assays have not been understood by many NCI investigators and by NCI-funded university investigators, because their knowledge has been based largely on an assay technique (cell-growth) that hasn't been used in most private labs for over fifteen years (3).
Data show conclusively that patients benefit both in terms of response and survival from drugs and drug combinations found to be "active" in the assay even after treatment failure with several other drugs, many of which are in the same class, and even with combinations of drugs found to have low or no activity as single agents but which are found in the assay to produce a synergistic and not merely an additive anti-tumor effect.
Patients receiving a drug that tested "sensitive" were 1.44 times [i.e. 44%] more likely to respond compared to all patients treated in studies, while patients testing "resistant" were 0.23 as likely to respond as all patients. Patients receiving treatment with drugs testing "sensitive" enjoyed a 6-fold advantage (1.44/0.23 = 6.23) over patients treated with drugs testing "resistant."
This data includes both patients with solid tumors (e.g., breast cancer, lung cancer) and hematological (blood system) tumors (e.g. leukemia, lymphoma). In the case of solid tumors only, the advantage to receiving sensitive versus resistant drugs was 9.3 fold. In the case of breast cancer, it was more than 10-fold. Furthermore, patients receiving "sensitive" drugs were shown in many studies to enjoy significantly longer durations of survival than patients treated with "resistant" drugs.
Patients treated with a "positive" (sensitive) drug would respond 79.1% of the time, while patients treated with a "negative" (resistant) drug would respond only 12.6% of the time. Once again, there would be a huge advantage to the patient to receive a "positive/sensitive" drug, compared to a "negative/resistant" drug (4).
Profiles from DNA and RNA expression analysis can help define patients at risk for early recurrence. Cell Culture Assays with "functional profiling" have a role in eliminating ineffective agents and avoid unnecessary toxicity and in directing "correct" therapy.
An ASCO tech review of drug sensitivity and resistance assays, concluded that the use of these assays for selection of chemotherapeutic agents for individual patients is not recommended outside the clinical trial setting (5).
However, Medicare contractor National Heritage Insurance Company spent six months reviewing everything about the cell culture assay, read all of ASCO arguments, and upon reviewing all available information, made the decision to reverse trend and go on record as formally approving the service and providing coverage.
They found that even back in 1999, the Medicare Advisory Panel concluded that cell culture assays tests offered clinical utility. After listening to detailed clinical evidence, the Medicare Coverage Advisory Committee found that these assay systems can aid physicians in deciding which chemotherapies work best in battling an individual patient's form of cancer (6).
Although Medicare had been reimbursing for cell culture drug "resistance" tests since 2000, it wasn't until the beginning of this year that they abandoned the artificial distinction between "resistance" testing and "sensitivity" testing and are providing coverage for the whole FDA-approved kit. The decision had been made that the assay is a perfectly appropriate medical service, worthy of coverage on a non-investigational basis (7).

An excellent low iodine cookbook, complete with basic guidelines, for those with thyroid cancer who will be undergoing radioactive iodine treatment.
The "LID" - low iodine diet - deprives your body of iodine, and is normally done for a period of 2 weeks prior, and 24-48 hours following radioactive iodine treatment doses. It is important to carefully adhere to the diet particularly for the 7 days prior to treatment.
The resulting low iodine dietary content ensures your body 'soaks up' as much of the radioactive iodine treatment as possible, in all 'thyroid like' tissues, including cancerous ones.

Some Oncologists Look for New Ways To Profit From Cancer Treatments, according to a New York Times article. They examined how limits placed on profits that physicians can make on cancer drugs have left some oncologists "searching for new income," such as by "performing additional treatments that" have "the best reimbursements, whether or not the treatments" benefit the patients. Medicare until 2005 paid a markup of 20% to 100% for many cancer drugs, along with injectable treatments for arthritis and other diseases.
In 2005, Congress changed the reimbursement system to pay physicians 6% more than the average price for a given treatment. The reduction in reimbursements "did not reduce overall federal spending on cancer care," which has increased slightly in the last two years, and the difference in spending "mostly represented profit that doctors had made on the drugs," the Times reports. However, cancer doctors say the "change did nothing to reduce a larger problem in cancer treatment," according to the Times.
The decrease in payments has made it difficult for smaller practices to break even on cancer drug purchases because the practices often do not buy enough of any drug to receive rebates or discounts from drug manufacturers. Some oncologists have attempted to increase profits by "performing chemotherapy more often or installing multimillion-dollar imaging machines where they profit when their patients receive diagnostic scans" and by "putting new pressure on cancer patients to make out-of-pocket drug copayments," according to the Times.
The situation "offers a vivid example of how difficult it may be to rein in the nation's runaway health care spending without fundamentally changing the way doctors are paid," the Times reports. Robert Geller, a former oncologist and senior medical director at Alexion Pharmaceuticals, said oncologists likely will continue to find ways to profit from Medicare as long as they are paid by procedure and not for time spent with patients.
In related news, the Times examines how before the change to Medicare reimbursements for cancer treatments, pharmaceutical companies "sometimes calculated to the penny the profits that doctors could make from their drugs" and sales representatives from the companies "shared those profit estimates with doctors and their staffs," according to industry documents that have become public in a federal civil lawsuit against drug makers. The lawsuit, filed by cancer patients and health insurers, alleges that marketing practices of drug companies caused them to be overcharged for oncology medicines because list prices for the drugs were higher than the actual cost of the drugs for physicians.
After my own diagnosis and battle with Advanced Stage III Inavasive Ductal Carcinoma (Breast Cancer) I began writing as a form of therapy while learning to cope positively with my current life situation.
There are numerous tools that can be used while coping with any hardship or adversity -- for me, Yoga taught me some incredibly valuable lessons about my body / mind / spirit. I have continued to write about my daily experiences and my thankfulness for the lessons that I gained through my own battle with cancer.
The key is for each individual to become their own health care coordinator / manager. We must take care of our bodies and begin questioning what goes in / on / around our body and our mind. Making conscious efforts to eat healthier, excercise, release stress and anger, and enjoy each day that is given. Life has no guarantees ONLY opportunities.
Connecticuts Compassionate Use medical marijuana bill will be heard in its next committee tomorrowTuesday. So, we need to keep the same momentum going that pushed this through the General Law Committee like last week for the Public Health Committee for tomorrows hearing!
A phone call can also make a big impression on legislators. You can call the Public Health Committee before 9 a.m. on Tuesday to express your support for HB 6715. The number is 860-240-0560.
For more info on the bill, heres a piece that I worked with the Drug Policy Alliance on, advocating for the passage of the CTs Compassionate Use Bill on Huffington Post today.
You can also take action here:
National Heritage Insurance Company (NHIC), the contractor that administers Medicare programs in California, has established a positive coverage policy for Cell Culture Assay Tests known as Chemosensitivity (Resistance) Testing or Oncologic In Vitro Chemoresponse Assays for a tumor specimen from a Medicare patient obtained anywhere within the United States, but submitted for testing by one of the approved laboratories located within Southern California. Medicare bills for this testing are billed through NHIC because the test is conducted by the approved laboratories in California.
This pre-test can help see what treatments have the best opportunity of being successful for "high" risk cancer patients. The test measures the response of "live" tumor cells to drug exposure. Following this exposure, the assays measure both cell metabolism and cell morphology (Functional Profiling). The integrated effect of the drugs on the whole cell, resulting in a cellular response to the drug, measuring the interaction of the entire genome. Assays based on "cell-death" occur in the entire population of tumor cells.
This cell culture assay technology has been clinically validated for the selection of optimal chemotherapy regimens for individual patients. It is a laboratory analysis based on tumor tissue profiling that uses "fresh" human tumor biopsy or surgical specimen to determine which drugs or combinations of chemotherapeutic agents have the highest likelihood of response for individual cancer patients.
Following the collection of "fresh" tumor cells obtained from surgery or tru-cut needle biopsies, a cell culture assay is performed on the tumor sample to measure drug activity (sensitivity and resistance). This will pinpoint which drug(s) are most effective. Tissue, blood, bone marrow, and ascites and pleural effusions are possibilities, providing tumor cells are present. At least one gram of fresh tissue is needed to perform the tests, and a special kit is obtained in advance from the lab. The treatment program developed through this approach is known as assay-directed therapy.
Individualized assay-directed therapy is based on the premise that each patient's cancer cells are unique and therefore will respond differently to a given treatment. This is in stark contrast to standard or empiric therapy, which chemotherapy for a specific patient is based on average population studies from prior clinical trials.
The decision had been made that the assay is a perfectly appropriate medical service, worthy of coverage on a non-investigational basis. What is of particular significance is that they abandoned the artificial distinction between "resistance" testing and "sensitivity" testing and are providing coverage for the whole FDA-approved kit. Drug "sensitivity" testing is merely a point a little farther along on the very same continuum which "resistance" testing resides.
Cell cuture assay tests based on "cell-death" have proven very effective in identifying novel treatment combinations for a variety of cancers. The value of cell-death assays is that they can and do accurately predict clinical outcomes and define novel chemotherapeutic synergies. It can help see what treatments will not have the best opportunity of being successful (resistant) and identify drugs that have the best opportunity of being successful (sensitive).
The current clinical applications of in vitro chemosensitivity testing is ever more important with the influx of new "targeted" therapies. Given the technical and conceptual advantages of "functional profiling" of cell culture assays together with their performance and the modest efficacy for therapy prediction on analysis of genome expression, there is reason for renewed interest in these assays for optimized use of medical treatment of malignant disease.
The payment provided will be sufficiently realistic that all Medicare patients for whom this testing is indicated will be able to get it with only the routine 20% co-payment, as Medi-gap insurance secondaries are mandated to provide payment for co-pays for Medicare-approved services.
The coverage became effective for claims for services performed on or after February 19, 2007. The decision is posted at:
NHIC Medicare Services reimburses qualified laboratories in Southern California for cell culture assay tests on a Medicare patient anywhere in the United States.
Likewise, Highmark Medicare Services reimburses a qualified laboratory in Pennsylvania for cell culture assay tests on a Medicare patient anywhere in the United States.
NHIC has jurisdiction over Southern California, so that is who gets billed when the laboratory is located in California.
Highmark has jurisdiction over laboratories in Pennsylvania, so that is who gets billed when the laboratory is located in Pennsylvania.
The coverage decision is posted at:

#14347 closed defect (bug) (wontfix)
URLs are not handeled properly
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
While digging into #14201, #14292 and similars, it came to my attention, that wordpress does not filter the URL input properly. This can lead to 404 responses where content is actually available as specified by http / RFC 2612.
Example run against current trunk to illustrate the issue:
# curl -I http://webroot.loc/wordpress/tag/%e4%b8%80%e6%a0%b7 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sun, 18 Jul 2010 18:53:02 GMT Server: Apache X-Pingback: http://webroot.loc/wordpress/xmlrpc.php Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Doing the same request with an alternative writing in the URL does lead to a 404. Remind that the "a" of tag has been encoded as %41:
# curl -I http://webroot.loc/wordpress/t%41g/%e4%b8%80%e6%a0%b7 HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Date: Sun, 18 Jul 2010 18:54:32 GMT Server: Apache Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0 Expires: Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT Pragma: no-cache X-Pingback: http://webroot.loc/wordpress/xmlrpc.php Last-Modified: Sun, 18 Jul 2010 18:54:33 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
RFC 2613 clearly write about this in the comparison of URLs (3.2.3):
Characters other than those in the "reserved" and "unsafe" sets (see
RFC 2396 [42]) are equivalent to their ""%" HEX HEX" encoding.
These so called character triplets are written uppercase by the PHP urlencode() and rawurlencode() functions, are written lowercase mostly inside worpdress (e.g. slugs generation). They can be written either and even mixed case, even the RFCs introduce them uppercase first. But both variants are okay, even %dD is.
The webapplication should handle both URLs the same.
Change History (8)
comment:3 @hakre — 5 years ago
In 14292.3.patch you can find a url_normalize() function. It could be used to remove noise from input via the URL.
Defect is that the order of queryinfo key/value pairs is not taken care of.
comment:4 @hakre — 5 years ago
Removed the defect to not normalize the queryinfo part of an URL: 14292.4.patch
comment:5 @hakre — 5 years ago
Found another defect regarding the range of invalid chars, US-ASCII is 7bit, so upper-half of 8-bit encodings are invalid.
comment:6 @hakre — 5 years ago
- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from new to closed
Normalize URLs plugin fixes this issue.
If some developer wants to give this some traction, feel free to reopen. With this plugin, worksforme now.

Oracle Maven Repository Index Now Available
By reza_rahman on Jan 28, 2015
The new Oracle Maven Repository now has an index available which should make it far easier to navigate the contents. As you may already know there's a number of important WebLogic artifacts in the repository. This is a standard Maven index, built with the Maven Core Indexer code and is available at https://maven.oracle.com/.index/nexus-maven-repository-index.properties and https://maven.oracle.com/.index/nexus-maven-repository-index.gz. The easiest way to view the index is through an IDE like NetBeans that has a Maven repository browser:
You should definitely try the index out with the tools that you are using as well as the repository generally. This relatively early stage is a great time to provide feedback so things can be as polished as possible.

Twice caught off a no-ball, Williamson finally gets out
India would have dismissed New Zealand for less than 192 on day one of the second Test here Friday had their top-scorer Kane Williamson not been caught twice off a no-ball.
Williamson, who scored a hundred in the first Test to go with five consecutive fifties in the preceding one-day series, had the luck on his side before he finally fell at 47 in 43rd over of the innings lasting 52.5 overs.
Drama occurred on the last ball before lunch with Zaheer Khan getting Williamson caught behind off what turned out to be a no-ball. New Zealand went into the break four down for 51 and not five down.
Williamson got another life shortly after the break. He was caught at short leg off Ishant but the umpire confirmed that it happened off a no-ball.
Mohammed Shami finally got rid of him with a full delivery that moved away just enough to induced an edge and carry safely into the slips, leaving the Black Caps at 133 for 7.
Interestingly, another Kiwi, Craig Cumming, got out thrice off a no-ball in a 2006 Test match against Sri Lanka at Christchurch.

I've been making this pie for years. It is absolutely the best!flag if inappropriate
I used a store bought crust (Pillsbury, refrigerated) and forgot to put in the apricot preserves (d'oh!) but I would say this recipe turned out great anyway. I had a little trouble figuring out if the filling consistency was good (I used a fork to beat it, then remembered that I do indeed have an electric mixer so I switched to that, it seemed a bit runny and made me nervous) and the timing for baking seemed a little off-- I prebaked my crust for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees until it looked like typical semi-golden puff pastry, poured in the filling, and baked for about an hour at 325. The crust wasn't browning so I turned up the heat to 425 and baked for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. It got so big! Like, the filling puffed up quite a bit and looked weird, but after setting for a half hour it flattened out and turned into one of the prettiest and most delicious pies I have ever made. The ratios of spices are perfect and there is nothing I would really add or subtract to this recipe-- it's just a classic pumpkin pie and I cannot shake a stick at that.flag if inappropriate
I left out the apricot preserves and doubled the recipe to make two pies. I ended up with three 9" pies and 3 tarts! I didn't make the crust, either. However, the pie was VERY well received by my family. They really liked the creamy texture and found it "set" a bit better than a standard pumpkin pie. Definitely making this again.flag if inappropriate
Quick question- has anyone tried substituting plain greek yogurt for the sour cream? Does this work?flag if inappropriate
Givingtree should try this again. I've been making this pie since it appeared in Bon Appétit in 1993. I use fresh pumpkin and it is just superb! I get rave reviews with the crust in the recipe or, when I run out of time, with a store bought crust. Definitely include the apricot preserves! It is always a hit with my family and guests!flag if inappropriate
I think the name of this recipe is misleading! I made two pies from this recipe for Thanksgiving last weekend and it was a huge disappointment. The texture of the filling was mousse like and what my family calls "mungy" Although I did get compliments for the beautiful crust I will not be making this again.flag if inappropriate
Just had this at my friend's house....AMAZING!!!!flag if inappropriate
THE BEST pumpkin pie ever...flag if inappropriate
I made this for Thanksgiving and unfortunately for mw there were no left overs. I am about to make it for a holiday party and it is my new go to recipe.flag if inappropriate
made this again for T-giving & family & I loved it. Wanted to do a gingersnap crust but couldn't find gingersnaps at the store so did one with vanilla wafers. It complemented the pumpkin flavors quite nicely. And skipped the cornstarch in the pie -- didn't have any & didn't see the point.flag if inappropriate

Welcome To The Barkerville Gold Mines HUB On AGORACOM
Also, I have thought all along when I saw early last year that BGM had hired Snowden, that they were doing so with the idea of marketing the Co. by using one of the most reputable names in the industry. it is legal to do a private 43-101 for internal purposes such as marketing the Co. Since Snowden has been working with BGM now for at least 9 months and have so much info., I am wondering if they might have completed or almost completed their own private 43-101's, while auditing the PG 43-101 as all signs seem to point out that it would be in the best interest of Frank to try and get the best offer now for the company as his days might be numbered. There has been a recent flurry of M & A activity in the States, I am hoping that spreads over to the Jr. mining sector. Does others think Frank wants to try and sell BGM prior to any proxy fight?

AWOL in the Battle of Ideas
Why didn't the Bush administration show up in Doha?
Feb 9, 2004, Vol. 9, No. 21 • By MARC GINSBERG
OVER THE WEEKEND of January 10-13, 300 leaders from the United States and 38 Muslim countries convened in Doha, Qatar, for a "U.S.-Islamic World Forum." Jointly sponsored by the government of Qatar and the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution, the forum proved the setting for a vigorous exchange of views. The highlight of the conference: a ringing defense of America's Middle East policy delivered--in the absence of any speaker representing the Bush administration--by former President Bill Clinton.
Muslim and American delegates from the fields of politics, business, civil society, academia, and the news media entered the lion's den of Muslim mythology and resentment toward America, braving stereotypes, confronting conspiracy theories, and defying taboos. Refreshingly, most delegates seemed interested in exploring ways to ease the tensions and find common ground. Intense and candid formal sessions ended in heated discussions spilling out into hallways. In the evenings, participants clustered in every corner of the conference center to argue, cajole, agree, disagree, and exchange email addresses.
Not surprisingly, several Muslims came only to grandstand, harangue, and complain, rather than listen. One Muslim compared the Bush White House to a gang of bin Ladens. During a plenary session, a leading Pakistani journalist, when asked if he would be willing to meet with former Israeli deputy prime minister Amnon Lipkin-Shahak, a cosigner of the Geneva Accords, swore he would never "dialogue with the Jews."
A lively clash occurred between Fox News Channel's Tony Snow and a deputy managing editor of Al Jazeera over coverage of the Middle East in the American and Arab media. Fox is as much a target of derision among Arab elites as Al Jazeera is in the United States, yet Snow's spirited defense of his channel's news coverage and programming was well received. He reminded his audience of the importance of differentiating between news and opinion. Too often, he asserted, Arabs hold the U.S. media to a high standard, but excuse the hyperbole and sensationalism of their own media. He was roundly applauded by a standing-room-only crowd of Muslim leaders, most of whom were meeting an American media personality for the first time.
But the climax of the conference came in the closing ceremony. Bill Clinton, attending at the invitation of the emir, took the stage before hundreds of Muslim leaders, scores of special guests of the emir, and millions of Arab television viewers to defend American policies in the Middle East. As conservative commentator Ralph Peters would write later in the New York Post, Clinton's audience "rose to its feet with evangelical enthusiasm--after being told precisely what they did not want to hear by a Scripture-quoting former president."
Warming to his sensitive task, Clinton made four preliminary, overarching observations: "(1) We need to do more to understand how the two major players here understand each other; (2) we need to improve our capacity for self-criticism; (3) we need to identify our common interests; and (4) we need to build the habits of mind and heart necessary to end the habits of demonizing those who are different from us." He then pushed out into territory where few Americans have ventured before an Arab audience.
Clinton pointedly called on the Muslim world to accept its share of the blame for the outbreak of extremism, and scolded Arab leaders for their own abuse of the Palestinians. He chastised Muslims for being too quick to judge America through the pinhole of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He pointed to our own shortcomings as a nation, still striving to build "a more perfect union." He resolutely defended America's friendship with Israel. "America's support for Israel is not rooted in hostility to the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinians," he said, and he condemned Yasser Arafat for squandering the deal he was offered at Camp David. Moreover, Clinton reminded his audience that President Bush supports the creation of a Palestinian state.
He told his audience that had he been president when the September 11 attacks occurred, he would have followed a course identical to that of his successor. He praised President Bush for trying to convince Muslims that America's war on terror is not a war against Islam. And despite all of the baiting during a question and answer session, Clinton never blamed the Bush administration for its many policy missteps. Instead, he called on his audience to join the United States in helping to bring about a "free, independent, stable, and representative government in Iraq."
