Surface-antigen expression profiling of B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia: from the signature of specific disease subsets to the identification of markers with prognostic relevance

Journal of Translational Medicine 2006, 4:11 doi:10.1186/1479-5876-4-11Published: 1 March 2006
Studies of gene expression profiling have been successfully used for the identification of molecules to be employed as potential prognosticators. In analogy with gene expression profiling, we have recently proposed a novel method to identify the immunophenotypic signature of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia subsets with different prognosis, named surface-antigen expression profiling. According to this approach, surface marker expression data can be analysed by data mining tools identical to those employed in gene expression profiling studies, including unsupervised and supervised algorithms, with the aim of identifying the immunophenotypic signature of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia subsets with different prognosis. Here we provide an overview of the overall strategy employed for the development of such an "outcome class-predictor" based on surface-antigen expression signatures. In addition, we will also discuss how to transfer the obtained information into the routine clinical practice by providing a flow-chart indicating how to select the most relevant antigens and build-up a prognostic scoring system by weighing each antigen according to its predictive power. Although referred to B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, the methodology discussed here can be also useful in the study of diseases other than B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, when the purpose is to identify novel prognostic determinants.

ALBUQUERQUE - Investigators appear to doubt the self-defense claim of an Alcalde woman who fatally shot a man inside her home last month.
The 35-year-old woman hasn't been charged in the case and the Rio Arriba County Sheriff's Office still is investigating.
The woman claims a man barged into her home Nov. 3 and tried to undress her at knife point.
She says she reached under a pillow, grabbed a loaded gun and shot 33-year-old Lawrence Sandoval of Taos and then fled from her home and called 911.
The Albuquerque Journal (http://bit.ly/XzzaiJ) reported Friday that police statements filed in the case indicate the woman gave differing versions of the events that led to the shooting.
But the woman's lawyer says his client "has nothing to hide" and "this is a self-defense situation."

Murakami might be best known as an integral part of the "superflat" movement, but what I find most interesting about the Japanese artist is that very early on he branched the gap of making art understood and accessable by the masses. Emmanuel Perrotin in Paris are hosting a month long retrospective look at Takashi Murakami's limited edition prints, there are 160 prints on show, all created between 2001 and 2011.

The two dimensional finite element methods are used to analyze the large box-like structure of the reverse siphon of the Middle Route of South-to-North Transfer in China. There are two kinds of load combinations affect on the box-like structure. Their contributions and status have been considered. It is more efficient to use the FEA model in ANSYS.

I'm working on a high school musical production and would like to incorporate some streamers or confetti into the finale. I'm just starting to research some air powered cannons. I'm not really sure how much I would need.
The show is happening in a commons/cafeteria/stage space that seats approximately 400 with about 20+ foot ceilings. The stage is 42' wide.
I'm not sure if I would need something more than this for the effect or not:
Or would I be better off looking at renting something? I'd appreciate any and all thoughts.

|Case-control study of factors associated with arthritis detected at slaughter in pigs from 49 farms.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 17468319 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Data were collected on the housing, management and disease factors in the weaning and finishing units of 49 integrated pig herds, 24 of them with a high incidence of arthritis at slaughter (case herds) and 25 with a low incidence (control herds). A median of 5.2 per cent (range 3.7 to 12.4 per cent) of the slaughtered pigs in the case herds had arthritis at meat inspection, compared with 2.2 per cent (range 0.3 to 2.8 per cent) in the control herds. In the farrowing units, high clinical sign scores for the lactating sows and piglets less than one week old and a low age at castration were associated with the case herds. In the weaning units, the herds with open partitions between the pens were 5.6 times more likely to be a case herd than the herds with solid walls. A higher age at weaning and moving the piglets at weaning from the farrowing pen instead of the sows decreased the likelihood of being a case herd. In the finishing units, a higher score for clinical signs, using a proper hospital pen, disinfecting the pens between the groups and using a feeding plan increased the likelihood of being a case herd. In total, 145 condemned joints, a median of four (up to six per herd), were collected at the slaughterhouse. In the case herds, 71 of 76 joints (93.4 per cent) had lesions related to osteochondrosis and in the control herds 66 of 69 joints (95.6 per cent) had such lesions. Only two of 11 joints from the case herds and one of 12 joints from the control herds that were examined bacteriologically were positive for Stapylococcus aureus and/or Streptococcus species.

If you thought there was a chance you might escape the hype surrounding "Frozen" sometime in the near future... well, you're wrong. It looks like this movie will have an impact for at least a generation or two. As it turns out, the baby names "Elsa" and "Anna" are quickly gaining popularity. In the U.S., Elsa has seen an especially big jump as it broke into the top 100 baby names, sitting at 88. Anna, which has always been a relatively popular name, jumped two spots from 37 to 35. But in Sweden, Elsa is the third most popular name, while Anna is in the top 12 names in Austria, Hungary, Iceland, Denmark, Italy, Norway, and the Netherlands. Alas, "Olaf" doesn't seem to be growing in popularity. Sorry, anthropomorphic snowman.
It was a rough week for the Washington Redskins. The U.S. patent and Trademark Office canceled six trademarks of the team name, since it was found to be disparaging to Native Americans. It's not exactly surprising, given that yeah, the term really is offensive and plenty of teams have already changed their names and mascots, some even decades ago. But the loss of the trademark doesn't mean that the name must be changed; all it means is that anybody who is interested in selling Redskins-branded items are free to do so. Still, it has lots of people saying, "Just change the name already!" even though Redskins owner Dan Snyder has previously said he "never" would. He may change his tune, though, given that the issue is now not just a moral one, but a financial one. Also, it's 2014, and come on.
Yesterday marked exactly one week since World Cup 2014 began, and already it's been a pretty eventful seven days. As with most things these days, some memes were born, including #Persieing, which was created when Netherlands player Robin Van Persie managed to score a goal mid-air, using his head. (His grandpa even played along.) But it's really all about the games, of course. On Monday, there was the first USA soccer game, against Ghana, and the US won! During the game, forward Clint Dempsey made a goal just 30 seconds into the game. While some teams have been exceeding expectations (US, Mexico), others have been falling flat (Portugal, Spain). In fact, Spain — the last World Cup champions — is already out of the running.
Do you think the Redskins should change their name? Comment and let us know!

1) "Health insurance" is NOT "insurance", because there is NO party who will NOT access the benefits. This is actually socialized medicine. Be honest and enforce that term.
2) The entire purpose of "health insurance" is to pay doctors. Keep that in mind, and you will be able to ask yourself and others real questions and see some absurdities. Some questions: How is involving government going to get me better care? Why are so many people being paid that have nothing to do with treating me?
3) If you do not pay, you are not a customer, you are a commodity. Things will be done by policy, not the way you desire.
In the debates about the current status of health care, there is a gap. This gap contains basic questions, which do not get asked as often or as loudly as they should.
- Why should government pick up all of the cost of anything?
- Do you recognize that all resources, government included, are limited?
- Do you know what your insurer's current practices are, and their relationship with your doctor? Other doctors? What do they have to say about non-routine procedures?
- Why does your Explanation of Benefits - from your insurer - have dollar numbers on it that no one was paid?
What? Do you really believe that?
Really? The doctor doesn't adjust his prices to deal with the overhead of hundreds of forms he has to submit, and the correspondence regarding his services? Extra people in the office and at the insurer's offices do their jobs for free?
Ha. Gotcha.
So, the status quo isn't the best it can be. So people want government to step in. What? Aren't you really, seriously insane for proposing that? You don't like what government is doing in Iraq, you know public housing sucks...
The IRS is not your friend. Why would you even begin to think a Federal medical authority would be?
The Affordable Health Care Act has penalties in store for you if you get care other than by Federally approved means. Your health care plan cannot be better than Federal authorities decree. Yes, you're sick; sorry, fill out the form and wait. Wait some more. You've been promised that no one will be denied care. "Sorry, madam, you'll have to wait. You're not being denied care, it just isn't available right now." Oh, you want to go somewhere else, because some bureaucrat has not got it through their thick head that disease does not wait? How about jail?
Jail, for being sick and seeking a cure. Oh, joy. Did you vote for this? It's what you're looking at. There's a good chance it'll happen, as the ignorant clamor for government to give them something for "free".
In addition, this monstrosity is set up so that not only initially, even after you are signed up for it, it will "reset" and cancel the arrangements you have made with your doctors!
The President of the United States LIED about this Act. Why would you even think about supporting it?
I have another proposal, which will still ensure doctors get paid. Here's the message I sent my Senators:
Dear Senator:
I believe I have a model for health care which could revolutionize the industry, improve efficiency and even put you in the White House. Bold claim, no? Well, let's see.
I think you and your staff know the issues with health care today, so I won't bother you with outlining the status quo. I'll get to the point.
We should set up the "Medical VISA Card" - like this:
• This card would be issued by an existing Federal agency or contractor to every person attaining majority, or to the guardian of every person for whom one is appointed, upon their acceptance of a contract. This would establish positive ID for that person. There would be benefits to this - see below. I call this a VISA card just because that company has all the assets in place to do this already.
• The card would be usable ONLY for prescription medicine and for visits to licensed doctors and dentists.
• The card would have a credit "trigger". Reaching this number would trigger agency review of the use of the card and their participation - just like reaching a deductible works in your current insurance policies. Think of a value determined by the person's economic status - the method by which credit is responsibly extended today.
• The balance would be due from the holder to the "medical VISA" agency, exactly as bank and other credit cards are handled today.
• An interest rate on outstanding balances would be established to collect two things: direct cost of the program (overhead), and an investment fund to be used for catastrophic illness and disability of all participants in the program.
• Card holders could be shown instructions for getting medical attention, and encouraged to avoid using emergency rooms for routine care. Emergency rooms can require the medical card to send patients to other clinics.
• Medical VISA card holders could build a positive, interest-paying balance in their medical account, as this is portable (not job-dependent) medical insurance.
• This system does not discriminate between individuals based on anything but their reported income, and then, only to determine when the agency steps in. It doesn't care about citizenship or race. If you are an immigrant, you would be positively identified by this card. The system relieves the nation of the burden of those immigrants who are undocumented.
Make no mistake about the fundamental nature of this card: up to the spending limit, the holder MUST pay. People simply won't be careful with other people's money.
Senator, people understand credit cards, however woeful the current credit situation might be because of public confusion between ownership and possession. I myself am mystified by my own Blue Cross, Blue Shield statements, which routinely say my treatment cost twice what anyone was paid.
It's time to re-establish the patient-doctor relationship. This will do that.
I recognize that a lot of work would be necessary to turn this into reality; I don't pretend to know this field as well as you and your staff must, just to run your office.
But I suggest that this is a good start.
If you find merit in this, feel free to add to or subtract from it and pass it on - because there is a truth you cannot escape or deny:
You will not get to say what happens unless you are the one paying.

Hi All,
Apologies if this question has come up in another thread, but my searches haven't turned up any hits, so I thought I'd ask!
I'm looking to print some notecards / greeting cards to sell at artshows and gallery viewings as they are happening, and was wondering if anyone here has experience with a specific printer who knows the ropes in dealing with us "old school" types.
I love the printing results in Lenswork magazine, would love to match that quality with any card production run (or posters in the future).
I'd love to hear anyones experience or recommendations.
BTW, love this forum and this is my first post, but not the last! More to come...

Things have been a bit of a mess at MSNBC lately. The network's fortunes are tied to the fate of liberalism, and with Obama's undeniable incompetence the preeminent political topic for the last few months, this has sent the network off on an increasingly desperate search for right-wing villainy to discuss. The results have not been pretty.
Host Martin Bashir resigned after a disturbingly detailed rant about how Sarah Palin should be defecated on. On January 4, host Melissa Harris-Perry issued a tearful apology for a segment in which she and her panelists made fun of the fact that one of Mitt Romney's sons had adopted a black child. In a ludicrously chivalric attempt to quell the controversy, Atlantic senior editor Ta-Nehisi Coates then leapt to Perry's defense, dubbing her "America's most foremost public intellectual" (sic). Well-deserved mockery of Coates's over-the-top encomium ensued, which he chalked up to "the machinery of racism."
National Review Online's Eliana Johnson made a game attempt to figure out which MSNBC patient is running the asylum. According to Johnson, the network's prime-time anchor Rachel Maddow is running roughshod over the network executives in a bid to push MSNBC's programming—and ultimately the opinions of the show's younger generation of viewers—to the left, ratings be damned. The Oxford-educated Maddow has long appeared to be more substantive than the network's other personalities, though when compared with the likes of Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz, the competition is not stiff. But now there are signs that even Maddow has descended into the fever swamps.
On January 2, a producer for Maddow's show fired off an email to the general counsel for Koch Industries' the left's particular bête noire, asking about their financial support for the Florida Foundation for Government Accountability (FFGA), a group that had helped pass a law requiring mandatory drug tests for welfare recipients in the state. The email was sent at 7:14 p.m., well after business hours and less than two hours before Maddow went on air to run a report accusing the Koch brothers of being in part responsible for the law.
The accusation was flimsy, to say the least. The Kochs had never directly given money to the FFGA; they had given $40,000 over the course of eight years to the State Policy Network, of which the Florida Foundation for Government Accountability was one of many dues-paying members. The accusation was even more preposterous because the Koch brothers are staunch libertarians. The idea that they would push mandatory drug testing by the state is risible to anyone who knows the first thing about their politics.
But we're just scratching the surface of Maddow's shoddy reporting. The blog Power Line reports that another well-known donor to the State Policy Network happens to be Comcast, which owns MSNBC and signs Maddow's paychecks. "Maddow could equally well have said that MSNBC 'ha[s] been promoting forced drug tests for people on welfare,' and that FFGA is an 'MSNBC-affiliated group,' " observes Power Line blogger John Hinderaker. Watchdog.org further notes that the Florida drug testing law was overturned by a lawsuit from the ACLU—an organization to which the Kochs have directly given some $20 million.
Asked about correcting her report after questions started emerging, Maddow responded with the sneer that's become her trademark. "I do not play requests," she said. At this point, expecting a modicum of integrity from anyone at MSNBC is probably expecting too much.

By Les Johns | @KernelJohns
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A scary-looking knee injury left UK freshman Nerlens Noel biting his shirt, squirming on the floor and screaming in pain. His teammates carried him off the court, prayed for his well-being and sent him to the hospital to get checked by doctors.
"It's unfortunate," UK head coach John Calipari said. "We just hope and pray that he is OK." It is tough to break down the lessons learned and where the Cats go from here without knowing Noel's status.
Additionally, neither Calipari nor Noel's teammates wanted to speculate on basketball life moving forward without the four-time consecutive SEC Freshman of the Week patrolling the middle.
"I'm not going to think about that," Calipari said when asked about how the Cats would move forward if Noel can't compete. "I'm worried about the kid right now."
Noel wears jersey No. 3, so here are three additional items about the Cats' 69-52 loss to the Gators Tuesday.
1. The Florida student section was loud, boisterous, obnoxious and scary. As they rhythmically bounced, the bleacher structure behind me jolted up and down with their movements, seemingly ready to topple at any moment.
Not only was I fearful for my life, I also needed windshield wipers. With every big Gator play, student section cheers brought saliva flying over me.
The one thing Gator fans are not is creative. The heckling ranged from "you suck" to "you're ugly."
One fan asked Ryan Harrow, "are you going to cry, Ryan?" Actually, that was sort of creative, but it was the only one that was.
The fans gave a rousing ovation to Noel as he was carried off the court and even gave the returning UK players cheers as well when they returned.
2. Calipari has been teaching life lessons. Tuesday night the Gators taught the Cats basketball lessons.
The Gators are one of the best teams in the country. They shared the ball extremely well, earning assists on 17 of their 26 made field goals. "They are an outstanding basketball team," Calipari said. "They are well coached, talented and very physical."
As well as the Gators play offensively, they may exceed that with their team effort on the defensive end.
They overplay the passing lanes, double team and rotate on every potential misstep. They make every pass and every dribble an adventure. Tuesday night that resulted in 17 UK turnovers, which directly led to 20 Gators points.
"Their guards were just jerking balls out of our guys' hands," Calipari said. "We couldn't get near the basket on (junior center Patric) Young and they are very active."
A lot of that is experience. The Gators started three seniors and two juniors. The Cats meanwhile started three freshmen.
3. How will the Cats respond? Obviously, much of that will be answered as more is determined about Noel.
Tuesday was just one loss in a game in which they came in as a 12-point underdog. Nobody was more disappointed in the way the Cats competed than themselves.
But lessons should have been learned, and the Cats can get better from this experience.
"We need to learn from this the best way we can — just stay positive," sophomore forward Kyle Wiltjer said. "We have to be ready to work real hard and improve as a team. We have to lift each other up because tonight was a tough game."
UK has to start by taking care of business against the Vols in Knoxville on Saturday. The Razorbacks will be waiting with a similar atmosphere in early March, and the Cats will face a stern test against a rejuvenated and healthy Missouri Tiger squad for ESPN GameDay.
If Calipari's life lessons mix with the on-the-court lesson delivered by the Gators on Tuesday, it is conceivable that when the Gators enter Rupp Arena to finish the season, the Cats could close the gap between the two.
"We have a ways to go," Calipari said. "This was a game that exposed us physically."

Food Waste Tracking Software Allows for Sustainable Business Operations
LeanPath, Inc. Announces Software Solution for Daily Tracking of Food Waste-
LeanPath, Inc. recently announced its newest software solution for food waste tracking, WasteLOGGER, which helps any restaurant, hotel, caterer, or foodservice operation prevent, minimize and avoid pre-consumer food waste (including overproduction, spoilage, expiration, and trim waste). The software runs on existing computers and does not require specialized tracking equipment. Food waste management is an essential aspect for any food service operation looking to become more sustainable, as it helps to strengthen efficiency and conserve resources. "The EPA's food waste management hierarchy prioritizes source reduction as the critical first step and best practice in food waste management" says Andrew Shakman, President and Co-Founder of LeanPath, Inc. "And the key to source reduction is daily food waste tracking – without daily information you have no way to diagnose food waste, create awareness, or begin to measure progress." Green certification programs – including the NRA's Greener Restaurants Program and Green Seal's GS-46 Standard for Green Restaurant and Foodservice Operations – establish food waste auditing and tracking as a fundamental best practice in any waste management effort. In fact, food waste is one of the most expensive hidden costs in any restaurant and foodservice operation. Food waste tracking, however, is the simplest and most effective solution, as operators can save 2-4 percent and more on food purchases, while also saving on disposal and labor costs and operating more sustainable facilities.

In this paper, we incorporate a marketing technology into a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model by assuming a matching friction for consumption. An improvement in matching can be interpreted as an increase in matching technology, which we call marketing technology because of similar properties. Using a simulation analysis, we confirm that a positive matching technology shock can increase output and consumption.
Keywords:DSGE modeling; Marketing; Matching friction
The considerable progress in information technology (IT) since the late 1990s increased the productivity of goods and contributed to the IT boom in the economies of many countries in the 2000s. In economics, IT development is typically expressed as an increase in total factor productivity (TFP). This is a point of view from supply side of the economy. [Jorgenson (2001]) and Jorgenson et al. ([2008]) pointed out that nonfarm business productivity growth surged from 1997 to 2001.
In addition to the supply side effects of IT, we can consider that IT also affects the demand side. Through web sites such as Amazon.com, for example, the Internet enables us to buy numerous goods instantaneously. A recent development in IT, the so-called Web 2.0, which includes social networking services such as Facebook, has enabled firms to contact individual consumers and promote their products. Recent developments in mobile phone technology, for example the iPhone, provide opportunities for matching consumers and products. This is reflected in the worldwide increase in Internet users (see Figure 1), which in turn increases opportunities for matching. In convenience, we call the technology, which enhances matching opportunity, "marketing technology," because it can easily match consumer needs with a firm's products and therefore resembles the concept of marketing. Broadly speaking, IT may enhance productivity as stated above. In this paper, however, we limit the scope of marketing technology to that which provides greater opportunities for sales, since studies for supply side technology like TFP are plentiful.

The way that production technology affects business cycles is well known1, but research on the effects of technology such as marketing technology on the macroeconomy has not yet been undertaken at least within the framework of macroeconomics. It is therefore quite interesting to investigate the effects of marketing technology. Our goals are as follows: first, to incorporate the marketing sector into an economic model; second, to assess the effects of the positive shock of marketing technology on the macroeconomy. First of all, we express marketing technology in an economic model by employing a matching or search friction in the goods market. Researchers have frequently employed this assumption in the labor market on the basis of [Mortensen and Pissarides (1994]). Adopting the matching friction suits our purpose because progress in marketing technology can be modeled as a reduction of matching friction between consumers and firms.
To accomplish the second goal, we use a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model, which is a useful tool in analyzing the macro economy. The model consists of identity equations and behavioral equations that are derived from agents' optimization problems2. Our model is constructed on the basis of a standard real business cycle (RBC) model as described in King et al. ([1988])3. Of course, it can easily be extended to a New Keynesian model by adding a sticky price assumption, as used in Christiano et al. ([2005]).
In this paper, we show the effects of marketing technology by performing a numerical simulation. The main result is a positive response of output, which occurs because progress in marketing technology can increase matched consumption. In our settings, the sudden increase in households' consumption provides an incentive to work more to smooth out the consumption path. Similar to increases in TFP, developments in IT technology that affect the demand side can also increase output and therefore income.
The remainder of our paper is organized as follows. Section 2 explains the key equation, which plays an important role in this paper. Section 3 constructs our model. Section 4 presents a simulation analysis of marketing technology. Section 5 discusses how incorporating the marketing sector into a DSGE model alters the model's responses to shocks from other marketing technologies. Section 5 concludes the paper.
Matching friction for consumption
This section explains the key equation of our model: matching friction. Suppose that a consumer has a consumption plan, denoted by Ct, and that firms use some amount of resources denoted by at to advertise their goods. We then assume that consumer needs are met through the following Cobb-Douglas type matching function:
where Ctm represents matched consumption. In the above equation, an increase in ZtC implies that the matching opportunity becomes bigger. We therefore call it marketing technology. High planned consumption and advertisement also facilitate the matching. The motivation of assuming Eq (1) stems from the study of matching friction for the labor market introduced by [Mortensen and Pissarides (1994])4. In their study, labor matching results from a combination of vacancies offered by firms and the labor force provided by households. This assumption is also useful in a consumption matching framework.
For the following simulation, we assume that log ZtC follows an AR(1) process. Note that under this setting, can be interpreted as a matching probability. Moreover, in Eq (1), If γ = 1 and ZtC ≡ 0, the model constructed below is reduced to a standard RBC model.
In our model, firms have a marketing sector and a production sector, households live infinitely, and there exists a the government. The population is normalized to 1. We begin by explaining the matching friction.
Firms: Production sector
Firms in the production sector have the following Cobb-Douglas production function:
where Yt represents output; Kt, capital stock; ht, hours worked; And log ZtY, a productivity shock with mean 0. With this technology of production, firms' gross profits are as follows:
where at is the goods used in advertising. The net output for firms is therefore Yt − at. The first-order condition for profits maximization yields
The gross rental rate is as follows:
Firms: Marketing sector
The marketing sector receives at from the production sector and conducts marketing activities. Consequently, their goods meet consumer needs through the consumption matching function. As stated above, to conduct this activity, we assume that the marketing sector needs at. The marketing sector demands at to maximize Ctm − at. The first-order condition is
Note that Ctm − at is not profit but merely a hypothetical objective function.
This subsection explains the aggregated behavior of households. First note that households are subject to the following inter-temporal budget constraint5:
where Dt represents financial assets and Tt denotes lump-sum tax. Assuming that temporal utility is log θtCt, households decide their planned consumption and labor supply by maximizing the following utility function, given {θt}:
where β represents a discount rate. The first-order conditions are
Note that the consumption path is independent {θt} as shown in Eq (8).
Equilibrium condition
Assuming that capital stock is accumulated As Kt + 1 = (1 − δ)Kt + It with a depreciation rate of δ and an investment of It and that the primary balance for the government is always zero, an equilibrium condition Kt+1 = Dt+1 yields
where Gt represents government expenditure (which is equal to Tt).
For convenience of understanding the flow of goods, we provide Figure 2. First, firms produce goods using labor and capital goods that are provided from households. Households (consumers) consume the goods and pay tax to government. Advertisement is implemented through the goods that firms produce; in other words, advertisements are own consumption for firms.
Figure 2. Flow of Goods.
Simulation analysis
How does the model behave against a positive marketing shock? First, since this shock provides a matching opportunity, matched consumption increases; consequently, saving decreases. This decrease in turn raises the rental rate and provides an incentive to work more. Therefore, output also increases. Planned consumption nevertheless decreases because rental rate increases. Although a matching improvement increases output over several periods, consumption later decreases because of a consumption-smoothing motive. On the other hand, an increase in saving reduces the rental rate and causes a decrease in the labor supply also decreases. Intuitively speaking, an increase in matching technology raises consumption; this forces households to work more to compensate for the increased consumption. As a result, output increases.
To confirm the above theoretical conjecture, we linearize and simulate the model. The parameter settings are [α β δ Cmh] = [1/3 0.99 0.02 0.6 1/3], where Cm and h denote the steady-state values. For γ, we consider γ = 0.95 and γ = 0.5. A persistency parameter for log ZtC is 0.9. The output share of advertising is 0.01 in the steady state. In Figure 3, we show impulse responses to the one percent shock for log ZtC. In the case of γ = 0.5, since consumption matching is strongly affected by advertising, responses to the marketing shock are volatile.
Figure 3. Impulse responses to the marketing technology shock. Note: The above lines are shown as the percentage deviations from the steady state.
As shown above, while a positive marketing shock can raise output, it decreases investment. This phenomenon seems to contrast with the experience of the late1990s. In the actual economy, however, IT can increase TFP. We can therefore consider that for this period, investment increases through a positive TFP shock. Of course, since there is a possibility that matching technology increase investment in the actual economy, careful empirical research is needed.
Discussion: Consumption matching friction neutrality
How does the consumption matching friction alter responses to a supply or demand shock other than by matching technology relative to a standard RBC model? In a linearized model, the answer is that the friction does not alter the other shock responses. This is because households know how much their needs are matched by goods produced by firms; in other words, they know the matching probability θt. Households then know the amount of goods to consume under a given shock even though matching friction is assumed. This implies that Ctm does not depend on the value of γ. Regardless of the value of γ, the responses to shocks other than the marketing technology shock are not altered.
This neutrality is not a drawback but an attraction from the empirical view point. Incorporating a consumption matching friction into a DSGE model may improve the results of empirical analyses such as that of [Smets and Wouters (2003]), since adding this assumption does not harm the model properties. Further, marketing technology is considered to be a new structural shock. With this new shock, the model can allow for richer dynamics, which helps reduce the problem of the degree of stochastic singularity (see Ruge-Murcia, [2007] and Tovar, [2009]).
Concluding remarks
In this paper, we incorporated a marketing technology into a DSGE model by assuming a matching friction for consumption. The improvement in matching could be interpreted as an increase in matching technology. Using a simulation analysis, we confirmed that positive matching technology shock can raise output and consumption.
Further implications of what this paper has demonstrated in theoretical results need to be assessed through empirical studies. Fortunately, methods of empirical research on the basis of a DSGE model, for example, the method that [Smets and Wouters (2003]) used, are now becoming more familiar to economists. To investigate the effects of marketing technology on the economy of the late 1990s is quite interesting, but this is left for the future.
1For example, see [Romer (2011]).
2The motivation for using the DSGE models in analyzing the macroeconomy is to avoid the famous critique by [Lucas (1976]): a model has to be described such that it is invariant to exogenous shock.
3Famous DSGE models are surveyed in [Tovar (2009]) and Mc[Candless (2008]).
4There are many studies that investigate the effects of labor market friction on business cycles. For example, see [Shimer (2010]).
5This expression of budget constraint can be archived from the law of large numbers for θt.

Nigerian Bishops Urged to Defend Religious Liberty
Pope Opposes Forced Imposition of Islamic Law
| 207 hits
VATICAN CITY, APRIL 23, 2002 (Zenit.org).- John Paul II encouraged the Catholic Church in Nigeria to defend religious liberty "courageously and forcefully" in face of fundamentalism, and to promote dialogue with Muslims.
The Holy Father was addressing Nigeria´s bishops over the weekend during their quinquennial "ad limina" visit to Rome, at the height of the debate over the Islamic law enforced in 12 northern states.
"There are certain parts of the country where proponents of Islam are acting with ever greater militancy, even to the point of imposing their understanding of Islamic law on entire states within the Nigerian Federation and denying other believers the freedom of religious expression," the Pope said.
"I strongly encourage and support your every effort to speak out courageously and forcefully in this regard," he continued.
"Government leaders, both local and federal, as well as people of good will of all persuasions, must be reminded of the obligation of every government to ensure that the equality of all citizens before the law is never violated for religious reasons, whether openly or covertly," the Holy Father said.
Nigeria´s population is half Christian, half Muslim. Its 250 ethnic and linguistic groups coexist in 36 states.
"Accordingly, even in cases where a special juridical position is granted to a particular religion, there always remains the duty to ensure that the right of freedom of conscience is legally recognized and effectively respected for all citizens, and also for foreigners residing in the country," John Paul II explained.
However, after reading the reports presented by the Nigerian bishops, the Holy Father said that, despite the difficulties, progress has been made in the dialogue between Christians and Muslims, as well as between Christians and other religions.
"Indeed, the cultural heritage of the numerous ethnic groups present in Nigeria must be seen as a source of enrichment for the nation, not a cause of conflict and division," the Pope stressed.
"I am aware that, in view of the general elections scheduled for the coming year, you are seeking to intensify ecumenical and interreligious cooperation in order to help politicians, traditional rulers and religious leaders to work together in order to ensure a free, proper and peaceful electoral process," he concluded.

- The headline of the day pretty much has to be this one from Sean Jensen of the Sun-Times on the Bears: 'Saturday night summary: Hot mess." Yes, that makes me giggle. Almost as much as Jay Cutler getting sacked four times, throwing two picks and finishing the night with a QB rating of THIRTY ONE. Bwah. Meanwhile, in Arizona, the quarterback competition is going to come down to "chemistry with the team ." Really.
- The fellas at The Wayne Fontes Experience make a good point: Willie Young has sacked the quarterback two weeks in a row. I have no earthly idea how he lasted until the SEVENTH round, but he'll be good. Also, guys, I'm the one driving the Jahvid Best bandwagon. You can hitch your wagon by calling 555-BEST. Also, Steve Schroder is right : why aren't they locking Detroit/Cleveland in for Thanksgiving? It's consistently more awesome than whatever else beatdown we're watching.
- The score of the Panthers - Titans game might lead you to believe that it's the, you know, preseason. It also might lead you to believe that the Panthers defense is pretty good. As Jaxon writes at Cat Scratch Reader , that's not too far off. Offense, Tom Sorensen says at the Charlotte Observer , is "at a premium," which means that the failure/success of this season might actually hinge on the quarterback position for Carolina (once again). NO PRESSURE, Matt Moore.
- I actually landed C.J. Spiller in a fantasy draft (for the first time) last night. I'm not upset but this news -- he is, as right tackle Cornell Green put it, "something else. " The guys at Buffalo Rumblings think the offense was "efficient and the defense was "lacking" -- if that's the biggest issue facing the Bills heading into the season, I think they take it and run.
- Mike Tomlin has yet to announce a starting quarterback, but Ryan Wilson of Steelers' Lounge makes an excellent note : the two-headed quarterback monster of Dennis Dixon and Byron Leftwich is probably the smartest move. Or the only move. Whatever.
- Brett Favre apparently thinks that if Javon Walker can "get half the magic back " that he used to have, he "can be pretty good." I'm not even sure if that's a compliment or not.
- Dave Halprin of Blogging the Boys makes an astute point: this IS the preseason and all, but you still can't "wash away the stink that was the Cowboys on Saturday night." The good news is that Jerry Jones isn't that concerned ; pretty sure t that won't last if the shoddy play continues through into the regular season.
- The Jaguars' struggles against the Bucs certainly doesn't make anyone feel particularly good about the team's chances this year, even if Maurice Jones-Drew was missing. Jonathan Loesche of Big Cat Country notes that the offensive line's inconsistency is probably the most depressing news from the evening. (Of course, there's also the David Garrard vs. Luke McCown "battle.") Or maybe the Bucs' defense is just better than people think -- Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune discusses the 'Neers willingness to "bend not break" in terms of stopping teams this preseason.
- Not that anyone actually roots for failure, but it's kind of funny when a New York team stinks, it usually results in fun headline-writing. "Giants still 'a ways' away from being good " and "Nothing goes right for Giants " are two examples. Basically, the point that you should be getting from this is that the Giants are an "at-risk" team for 2010. On the bright side, Joe Flacco is definitely the starter in Baltimore. Which is, um, unsurprising?

Mistake #1: Force Feeding
If you think forcing your toddler to eat a food they don't want is a good idea, think again. You and your little one will end up upset and confused. This tactic will backfire as they will end up disliking both the food and mealtime.
Instead: Don't make a big fuss when the child refuses a food. The less of an issue you make of it now, the less of a fuss you will get the next time. Wait a little bit, and try again with a happy, positive attitude.

The Licking County Board of Elections office has been bustling the past few weeks as an increased number of residents have turned out to cast early ballots.

SERV: the Fordham Law Veteran's Group
SERV (Students for the Education and Rehabilitation of Veterans) has two chapters, one at Fordham Law and the other at New York University. As the name suggests, SERV's mission is to aid New York City Veterans in accessing their educational and rehabilitative benefits. Specifically, SERV works with veterans and non-profits in the areas of discharge upgrades, Department of Veteran's Affairs benefits, and access to state and local level public assistance. SERV members who work on these issues have found the work to be satisfying and fulfilling. Through these endeavors, SERV provides its members with valuable clinical work and networking opportunities.
Additionally, SERV acts as a veteran's community at the law school, offering a place for students to share school, VA benefits, and employment best practices. SERV intends to help all Fordham Law Veterans succeed in their legal careers by mastering their academics, acquiring practical legal skills, and finding post-graduate employment. In addition to the discharge work, SERV will be hosting alumni networking events, legal career fairs, and working on outreach to educate the law school community on issues that affect veterans and military families.
Please contact SERV at firstname.lastname@example.com to get on our listserv and to receive upcoming details about our first inaugural alumni event in Winter 2014, which will be a great opportunity to meet Fordham Law veterans and assist in their transitions to civilian life.

Striking quick exclusively for smaller sneaker stockers is the Jordan 6 Rings GS Black/Pink. Combining elements from each of the seven sneakers that Michael Jordan wore when winning NBA Championships, the Jordan 6 Rings are a versatile mold that can transition across the board. Almost directly resembling the color blocking on the Jordan 6 Rings Black/Red that just released in men's sizes last weekend, this style code substitutes bold pink for the red detailing on the silhouette. A black upper with a patent leather mudguard and white midsole stays consistent, integrating pink into the outsole and tongue's Jumpman logo. Lace your lady with a pair of these this Saturday, December 7th at select Jordan Brand retailers.

BME 500 Seminar Series
Histotripsy: Imaging Guided Ultrasound Therapy for Non-invasive Surgery
Zhen Xu, Ph.D.
Research Scientist, Therapeutic Ultrasound Group
Biomedical Engineering
University of Michigan
Wednesday, September 10, 2008, 3:30 - 4:30 PM
White Auditorium - Rm G906 Cooley Building
Histotripsy is a new non-invasive technique that mechanically fractionates and removes soft tissue using high intensity ultrasound pulses. This technique can be viewed as soft tissue lithotripsy, which gave rise to the name "histotripsy." Using focused ultrasound pulses, histotripsy produces a cluster of energetic microbubbles within a treatment region. These microbubbles, each similar in size to individual cells, function as "mini-scalpels" to mechanically fragment and subdivide cell and tissue structures. These acoustic mini-scalpels can be clearly visualized on clinical ultrasound imaging system, which are used to guide and monitor the histotripsy treatment. Histotripsy has potential for many clinical applications where non-invasive tissue removal is desired. We have been developing histotripsy for breaking down diseased clots (thrombolysis), removing unwanted tissue and tumors inside organs including prostate, kidneys, and breasts, and heart.

- Pretty Tasty - Very Rich! Review by Jean
Price Value Quality
When we opened the package, we were initially disappointed because of the size. We were serving 4 for Christmas Eve dinner and it did not look like it was near enough. We supplemented our menu just in case. There was plenty for all, and we had leftovers. Although we did not need to supplement our menu, it was good we did only because the dish is so yummy and rich that we needed a break from it :) We would purchase this again.
