More 'Big' Trades

There is a sense the Sergei Fedorov trade may be the catalyst to get the NHL swap shop working overtime, but don't count on it. Almost half of the 30 teams already have payrolls of more than $36 million, which with the $39 million cap makes it difficult if not impossible to add a significant player making significant money unless there's a player of equal value coming off the books. And that's hard to do.

ATLANTA, Dec. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Studies of stem cell biology and transplant approaches presented today at the 54th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) illustrate how the use of advanced modeling techniques is optimizing stem cells to treat patients with blood disorders, as well as the potential of enhanced treatment strategies to improve the success rate of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation for these patients.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is effectively used today as a form of "replacement" therapy for patients with hard-to-treat blood conditions, providing healthy HSCs to help patients whose bodies cannot properly fight infection or disease on their own. While transplants often lead to long-term remission for many patients, researchers are now challenging traditional assumptions in an effort to further improve success rates while minimizing the remaining risks associated with transplantation.
"As we learn more about the biology and therapeutic use of hematopoietic stem cells to cure blood disorders, we are able to refine our traditional approaches to reduce complications and deliver better patient benefits," said Vanderson Rocha, MD, PhD, moderator of the press conference and Professor of Hematology of Oxford University, United Kingdom. "We are finding that hematopoietic stem cells can be programmed in ways we previously did not think possible, a discovery that may lead to the development of important new therapeutic strategies."
This press conference will take place on Sunday, December 9, at 10:00 a.m. EST.
Targeting Histone Deacetylases as a New Strategy for Graft Versus Host Disease Prevention [Abstract 740]
New research shows that the addition of the oral anti-cancer agent vorinostat to standard therapy given before, during, and after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) may safely reduce the incidence and severity of a challenging complication called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
HSCT is the primary form of treatment for many patients with blood disorders; it involves the transplantation of healthy blood-forming stem cells from the bone marrow, circulating blood, or umbilical cord blood to replace damaged, disease-causing cells in recipients. Despite the therapeutic benefits of HSCT, half of all patients who receive transplants from a related donor (allogeneic HCT) develop acute GVHD, a life-threatening condition occurring when the newly transplanted cells identify the recipient's body as foreign and attack the recipient's own cells.
Currently, HSCT patients receive prophylactic therapy before and after transplant to prepare their bodies for the procedure and to help manage their subsequent immune response. While this series of drugs is designed to help reduce patients' risk of developing GVHD, it also compromises their immune systems, leaving them vulnerable to serious infections and complications. Recent research has sought to determine ways to improve patients' initial immune response to transplanted cells as well as promote faster immune recovery after transplant.
Recent early-stage studies have demonstrated that a class of anti-cancer drugs known as histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) may safely reduce the risk of GVHD in patients. These drugs have demonstrated an ability to "turn off" an enzyme that leads to inflammation, a major contributor to GVHD that develops as a byproduct of patients' intense immune response to HSCT. Based on those early results, researchers initiated the current study to evaluate whether one drug in this class, vorinostat, might reduce the risk of acute GVHD when added to current regimens.
To test this hypothesis, researchers enrolled 45 patients undergoing matched related donor HSCT from transplant centers at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich. and Washington University in St. Louis to compare results of a standard regimen with vorinostat to historical controls. The primary endpoint of the single-arm, Phase I/II trial was the cumulative incidence of grade 2-4 acute GHVD (grade 1 is mildest; grade 4 is most severe). They aimed for an incidence of no more than 25 percent, compared with historical average rates of 42 percent.
Patients participating in the study received oral vorinostat daily in addition to standard preventive treatments prior to, during, and for 100 days after transplantation. After treatment, these patients had a significantly lower incidence of GVHD than their historical controls (22 % vs. 42%) and had lower rates of severe (grade 3-4) GVHD (4% vs. 19% in controls) and transplant-related mortality at one year (13% vs. 19% in controls). There were no differences in rates of infectious complications or incidence of relapse, indicating that vorinostat helped reduce the risk of GVHD in patients without further compromising their immune systems.
"While GVHD remains a challenging complication that affects a large proportion of patients who receive stem cell transplants, we are encouraged by the significant reduction in both the incidence and severity of this life-threatening condition that we observed in this trial," said Pavan Reddy, MD, senior author and Co-Director of the University of Michigan Bone Marrow Transplant and Hematologic Malignancies Program. "In order to increase the use of transplants and make them safer for more patients who need them, we need to see if this treatment approach may be successful in patients who receive stem cells from unrelated donors, and whether it may work among patients who are at high risk for severe GVHD. Moreover, we would like to confirm our findings in a larger, Phase III clinical trial."
Sung W. Choi, MD, lead author, will present this study in an oral presentation on Monday, December 10, at 4:45 p.m. EST at the Georgia World Congress Center in Room C108-C109, Level 1, Building C.
No Survival Advantage after Double Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) Compared to Single UCB Transplant in Children with Hematological Malignancy: Results of the Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (BMT CTN 0501) Randomized Trial [Abstract 359]
A study evaluating the efficacy of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplants using single versus double units of transfused umbilical cord blood (UCB) for children with hematologic malignancies finds that the single unit approach remains the gold standard, refuting the notion that "more is better" in this clinical setting.
UCB contains a high concentration of HSCs with a unique immune profile that permits a high degree of human leukocyte antigen (HLA, proteins on white blood cells that determine compatibility between donor and recipient) mismatch, making it an increasingly popular source of HSCs for transplants. Questions remain, however, regarding the optimal quantity of transplanted umbilical cord stem cells. Previous research has found that double UCB transplant (the co-infusion of two partially HLA-matched units) is effective, particularly for adults for whom a single UCB unit is inadequate. Since prior research has connected cell quantity with survival, researchers hypothesized that a double UCB transplant may be superior to the use of a single unit in children with blood cancer for whom two units were available.
For this study, a team of researchers within the Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network examined whether the use of two units of UCB would offer a significant advantage in overall survival and other transplant outcomes such as blood and marrow recovery time, risks of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and transplant-related mortality and relapse.
As part of the multi-center, Phase III trial, 224 pediatric acute leukemia patients were randomized to receive either a single- or double-unit UCB transplant. After a median of 25 months of follow-up, nearly all patients (92%) in both study arms were in remission, with similar overall survival rates at one year post transplant between the groups (71% vs. 66% for the single vs. double unit, respectively). Overall, outcomes were similar between the groups, including disease-free survival (68% vs. 64% in single vs. double) and rates of relapse (12% vs. 14%), suggesting the double UCB transplant did not offer additional therapeutic benefit. While both study arms had the same overall rate of GVHD (57% each), patients who received a double UCB transplant experienced a higher risk of severe (grade 3-4) GVHD (23% vs. 14% for single unit patients), possibly attributed to the greater number of transplanted HSC.
"Our findings, though unexpected, affirm that the standard transplant approach of a single umbilical cord blood unit is optimal so long as the unit offers a sufficient number of cells. The study also demonstrated that a double umbilical cord blood transplant, while not better than a single cord blood transplant, can be an effective strategy among mainly adult patients for whom a single unit of cells is insufficient," said John Wagner, MD, lead author and Director of the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Program at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. "With this in mind, we need to focus our efforts on the development of new strategies that will enhance the speed of engraftment and immune recovery – and the double umbilical cord blood model may be a useful tool for achieving that goal."
Dr. Wagner will present this study in an oral presentation on Monday, December 10, at 8:00 a.m. EST at the Georgia World Congress Center in Room B312-313a, Level 3, Building B.
Prolonged Strenuous Exercise Expands the Population of Developmentally Early Stem Cells in Bone Marrow (BM) and Mobilizes them into Peripheral Blood – Novel Evidence that Strongly Supports a Positive Effect of Physical Activity on Extension of Life Span at the Level of Stem Cells [Abstract 584]
Researchers have demonstrated through a mouse model study that the beneficial effect of exercise on lifespan may be specifically related to the increase of a certain type of primitive stem cell believed to play an important role in tissue and organ regeneration.
Established research cites the benefit of exercise in reducing the risk of disease and managing chronic conditions, and studies have already shown that physical activity helps to mobilize stem cells, or move them from the bone marrow into the bloodstream. Taking this one step further, researchers focused their study on investigating the activity of the primitive stem cells (known as very small embryonic-like stem cells or VSELs) to directly assess whether strenuous exercise could increase the presence of a pool of developmentally early and highly potent stem cells in the blood stream. They hypothesized that the increased presence of these stem cells in the blood stream may enhance the rejuvenation of organs and tissues and potentially extend the lifespan.
To test their hypothesis, the team exposed the mice to various periods of strenuous exercise on rotating wheels (short-term at 1 day, mid-term at 14 days, and long-term at 6 months). The length of exercise was positively correlated to the counts of these primitive cells in their bone marrow and circulating blood, with the greatest increase in overall counts being in the group with the longest exercise exposure. The team also found similar correlations between the rates of exercise and the active function of genes that assist in organ and tissue regeneration. The data show that prolonged, strenuous exercise in mice is associated with the increased quantity of these important primitive stem cells in the bone marrow and their movement into the bloodstream.
"These data makes a compelling argument that exercise may not only prevent health issues that tend to emerge as people age, but may also help improve the body's ability to heal damaged tissue and organs," said Mariusz Ratajczak, MD, PhD, senior author and Director of the Stem Cell Institute at the James Graham Brown Cancer Center of the University of Louisville in Kentucky. "Additional studies need to be conducted to better define the role of these early stem cells in healing tissue damage, extending the lifespan, and maintaining health during the aging process, as well as to understand how we might be able to harness them for further therapeutic benefit."
Maciej Tarnowski, PhD, lead author, will present this study in an oral presentation on Monday, December 10, at 3:00 p.m. EST at the Georgia World Congress Center in Room C101, Level 1, Building C.

The address not given.
Quite the worst part of my son's middle school Commencement ceremony yesterday was the execrable address given by the Principal. Laced with the usual platitudes about equality and inclusiveness, it was an exercise in toeing the party line …. and saying nothing at all.
Here's what should have been said:
"Graduates! Congratulations!
Each of you is the beneficiary of the finest public schooling there is to be had. My son Winston is fortunate indeed to be amongst your number today.
But today, rather than building on your warm feelings of success and relief at having survived these past three years, I want to speak to you about but two things:
Risk and Success.
Risk is about making a decision where the outcome is uncertain or unknown. It's about doing what you believe in and hang the consequences. Only if you take Risk will you live a full life, one to be proud of. Taking Risk is not about winning or beating the other guy. It's about having the courage to fail and fail you will often in your long lives. You will all fail many times but accepting and taking Risk will make those lives full and successful. And only by taking Risks can you Succeed.
A life devoid of Risk is existing, not living, Do what you believe in, have a passion for that belief and you will come out a winner in the game of life.
Each one of you has some hidden set of skills superior to everyone else in this wonderful audience today. Yet, if you take no Risk, if you dare not fail, those skills will remain buried and you will not enjoy a life well lived.
When Winston Churchill, having just won the War and lost the Election, returned to his High School to give the Commencement Address, the hallowed hall at Harrow School was packed to the rafters. Winston had barely scraped a passing grade from Harrow some 60 years earlier. "We have come to hear Winston speak" they all said to a man.
Churchill arose, walked portentously to the dais, and gave the shortest speech of his life.
"Never, never, never give up".
Then he sat down ….
He had taken massive Risks in his political life. He had made equally massive errors. He had failed so many times that most of his contemporaries had written him off. Then he took one more Risk. Appointed Prime Minister in 1940 he Risked all in his faith in the British and American people. With a British father and an American mother, no leader was better suited to the task of defeating Nazism, the greatest evil of the past century. Had he not taken that Risk, Success would not have been his and we would all be speaking German today. Winston succeeded.
Let me share with you some thoughts about Success.
Success is not about money.
It is not about power.
It is not about wealth or possessions.
Success is doing the very best with the many talents you, as a member of the human race, have been endowed with.
The divine spark which will make you a Success resides in every one of you. Light the fire. Let it burn!
Go out into the world, take Risks, do your best and never, never, never give up. And Success will be yours."
By a master of the landscape.
Jack Dykinga has been featured here a decade ago and his work in the American west continues to define the standard for landscape photography.
Dykinga works with film in 4″ x 5″ field cameras using the finest Schneider lenses, and it shows. While film in small sizes is largely the province of cranks and those who place little value on their time – not to mention the quality of the results – the use of large format sheet film is thoroughly justified in this case. High pixel count digital sensors may be the thing for landscape snappers today, but it's hard to beat the sheer plasticity of Dykinga's results. Add an expert's eye and you have a book to wonder at. There is absolutely nothing dated about the images on display here.
Long discontinued, it's abundantly available from Amazon and resellers like Abe Books.

The military always puts on a great show on Memorial Day at San Francisco's National Cemetery, and today was no exception. This being the 50th anniversary of the Viet Nam war the crowds were heavy, complete with TV crews. Ugh!

Steaua Bucharest will be striving for their first UEFA Champions League group stage win since 2006 when they host Basel on Tuesday.
The Romanian champions have faced Chelsea and Schalke so far this season in Group E and were defeated in both games, conceding a total of seven goals in the process without scoring.
Steaua will be looking to take their domestic form into the Champions League after winning eight and drawing one of their first nine matches of the campaign to set the pace at the top of the table.
A 4-0 away victory at Viitorul Constanta on Friday proved to be the perfect preparation for the visit of Basel.
The form of Italian attacker Federico Piovaccari has played a significant part in the side's successful start to the season as he has scored five goals in seven league appearances, but Basel head to Bucharest in a confident mood.
Murat Yakin's side are also sitting at the top of their own domestic league with 25 points from 12 games and their away form has been a particular highlight in recent weeks.
The Swiss champions have played 11 matches in all competitions on the road and are yet to lose, with their last five away fixtures ending in victory.
Basel's start to this season's Champions League, though, has been mixed. A 2-1 victory at Chelsea on matchday one was the first time they have won a competitive match in England, but Basel's good work was undone by 1-0 defeat against Schalke last time out.
The match will be remembered more for a Greenpeace protest against Champions League and Schalke sponsors Gazprom, but the Germans left Switzerland with all three points thanks to Julian Draxler's second-half strike.
Yakin will be able to rely upon a full-strength squad for the trip. Giovanni Sio is serving a domestic suspension, but he is free to play in Europe, while Marcelo Diaz will be available after returning late from international duty.
Steaua coach Laurentiu Reghecampf also has no pressing injury concerns and has been boosted by the return of star midfielder Alexandru Chipciu, who played his first match since May in the win over Viitorul.

There will be no fix for a Palm Pre WebOS zero day flaw until 'Autumn'
Don't accept those business cards
SPIES CAN FEEL FREE to send malware laden business card texts to Palm's Pre smartphones because a patch to fix the flaw that allows such messages to turn the handsets into bugging devices won't be available until Autumn.
Basingstoke based MWR Infosecurity announced last week that the Palm Pre WebOS has a zero day flaw that allows the phone to be used as a recorder and transmitter for anything within range of its microphone. It seems that Palm's security systems don't use sandboxing that MWR Labs thinks could have stopped the malign SMS.
The INQUIRER learned of the lack of any patch for the problem until Autumn in an exclusive interview with MWR Infosecurity's Labs research division head of research Nils. He declined to disclose his family name, adding to the mystery.
Palm was not available for comment but in an earlier email sent to The INQUIRER it denied that the problem exists, saying, "The current version of webOS fixes the security vulnerability reported to Palm."
Go here to read about the Palm Pre's insecurities with the latest "notification" from MWR Labs. µ

The Internet of Things and Mobility Driving HTTP and Cloud
The Internet of Things smells like opportunity for everyone. There is no industry that hasn't been touched by the notion of smart "things" enabling convenience or collaboration or control in every aspect of our lives. From healthcare to entertainment, from automotive to financials, the Internet of Things is changing the way we work, live and play.
That's the view from the consumer side, from the perspective of someone using the technology made available by <insert vendor/provider here>. But before that consumer could get their hands on the technology -and the inevitable accompanying "app" that comes with it - the provider/vendor had a lot of work cut out for them.
Whether it was building out licensing and activation servers, a remote-based control application, or a data exchanging service, the provider of this "thing" and its supporting ecosystem of applications had to design and implement systems. One of those systems is inevitably related to storage and retrieval of data.
That's because a key consideration of nearly all "things" is that while they pack quite the computing punch (as compared historically to mobile devices) they are still constrained with respect to storage capabilities.These devices are generating more data than most people can fathom.
Globally, smart devices represented 21 percent of the total mobile devices and connections in 2013, they accounted for 88 percent of the mobile data traffic. In 2013, on an average, a smart device generated 29 times more traffic than a non-smart device.
Globally, there were nearly 22 million wearable devices (a sub-segment of M2M category) in 2013 generating 1.7 petabytes of monthly traffic.
Not only are the things themselves incapable of storing the vast quantities of data generated in the long term, providers/vendors are unlikely to have the spare storage capacity readily available to manage it. Even if they do, it's a rare organization that has in place the controls and multi-tenancy necessary to support the storing such data with the privacy expected (and demanded) by consumers.
Add to that the reality that they're small and portable and often dropped into the most inconvenient of places by their owners (or their owners' children) and the result is a need to ensure off-thing storage of data. Just in case.
What that means is the Internet of Things is driving the use of HTTP and solidifying its status as the "new TCP". Things communicate with applications to store and retrieve a variety of data. This communication is generally accomplished over the Internet - even though it may start out over a cellular network - and that means using the linga franca of the web, HTTP. Additionally, HTTP is ubiquitous, the market for developers is saturated, and support for HTTP is built into most embedded systems today.
So HTTP will be used to store and retrieve data for all these "things", that seems a foregone conclusion. But what about storage and capacity?
Ready or Not
The question is whether the provider/vendor of the thing is going to take on the challenges of capacity and storage themselves or, as is increasingly the case, turn to the public cloud. The public cloud option has many benefits, particularly in that it's cheap, it already exists, and its enabled with the APIs (accessible via HTTP) required to integrate it with a mobile app or thing. It's already multi-tenant and supportive of the level of privacy required by consumers, and it grows on-demand without requiring staff to spend time racking more compute and storage in the data center.
It seems likely, then, that not only will things and mobility continue to drive the dominance of HTTP but will also increase use of public cloud services. Certainly there are industries and segments within the "things" and mobile app categories that make using public cloud unacceptable. My mobile banking and financial apps, for example, are not storing data anywhere but safely inside the (hopefully very secure) walls of their respective institutions.
My Minecraft game on the Xbox 360, however, offers up "cloud" as a storage device, which means I can create new worlds til the cows come home. My smartpen synchronizes with Evernote. My iPhone is constantly nagging me to use iCloud because, well, it's available. With Google's acquisition of Nest, if its data and control applications weren't being run in Google's cloud, they probably will be in the future.
The reality is that many organizations are not architecturally ready from the network and operations perspective to take on the challenges that will be encountered by a foray into the Internet of Things. But to let it pass them by is also not acceptable.
That may very well drive organizations to the cloud to avoid missing these early days of opportunity.

It's easy to assume that your app will run on a fast and reliable network. The reality for your app's users, though, is often a slow, unreliable network with spotty coverage. What happens when the network doesn't work, or when the device is in airplane mode? You get unhappy, frustrated users. An offline-first app is an app that works, without error, when there is no network connection.

Topic: Plant Identification
Title: Plant Identification in Montfort WI
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:There is a small orange flower plant that grows wild along highways and in uncut yards in northwest Wisconsin--We are visiting in Siren, WI and have tried to dig some up and take home to SW WI. They did not grow. Our soil is clay and here it a lot of sand. What is the name of the plant and are they better in sandy soil?
Even with a much more complete description than this, we cannot often make an identification without pictures. Furthermore, the plant may be an escaped non-native, and not even appear in our Native Plant Database. Go to our Plant Identification site, and follow the instructions carefully for submitting a photo; be sure to get pictures of leaves, blooms, etc. We can't promise success, even then, but will try.

Kodak gets $500m bid for 1,100 of its patents
December 6, 2012 - 17:46 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Bankrupt imaging outfit Kodak has received a bid of more than $500m for 1,100 of its patents, The Inquirer reports.
Kodak, which is languishing in bankruptcy court after years of falling behind its rivals, has been trying to sell 1,100 patents that relate to digital imaging for over 18 months. Now the firm has received a bid of more than $500m from a consortium for its patents.
Kodak had claimed its patents would be worth billions but until now had only received bids around the $250m mark. The firm needs to sell part of its patent portfolio in order to secure loans offered on the premise that its patents can be sold for $500m or more.
While Kodak is trying to sell its patents to generate cash, the firm has been slashing costs by cutting staff and concentrating on high margin businesses. The firm claims it will rake in $2.7bn in 2013 with what is left of the business.

Instagram, the popular photo-sharing service, has retreated from some but not all of the controversial changes in its terms of service that prompted a fierce backlash from users earlier this week.
In a new blog post, Instagram founder and CEO Kevin Systrom apologised for a failure to "communicate our intentions clearly".
The terms of service changes pertaining to advertising have been reversed, Systrom said, and restored to what they had been before the changes announced earlier this week.
Instagram, which allows people to add filters and effects to photos and share them easily on the internet, was acquired by Facebook earlier this year for US$715 million.
Some top users of Instagram, including National Geographic magazine, said they would stop using the service after the new rules were announced on Monday.
Language that had appeared to allow Instagram advertisers to display user photos without compensation have been removed from updated terms of service posted today.
The updated terms also do not appear to contain a controversial provision which had stated that if a child under the age of 18 used the service, it implied his or her parent had tacitly agreed to Instagram's terms.
However, the new terms still contain a mandatory arbitration clause, which is not included in terms of service for other leading social media companies like Twitter, Google, YouTube or even Facebook itself. That immunizes Instagram from many forms of liability, according to legal experts.
Internet experts said Instagram had been very aggressive in asserting its rights to user information and inviting anyone who did not agree to delete their accounts within a few weeks.
The updated terms still say that anyone who accesses Instagram agrees to be bound by the new terms which are slated to go into effect on January 19.
Also, Instagram kept language which gave it the ability to place ads in conjunction with user content, and "that we may not always identify paid services, sponsored content, or commercial communications as such."
Instagram representatives could not immediately be reached for comment.
Systrom stressed in the blog post that the company had no intention of selling the photos that users post on the service. Many users had read the new terms of service as an indication that the company was reserving the right to do that.
"Going forward, rather than obtain permission from you to introduce possible advertising products we have not yet developed, we are going to take the time to complete our plans, and then come back to our users and explain how we would like for our advertising business to work," Systrom said.
