Maitake Medicinal Mushrooms as Alternative Treatment for Prostate Cancer
A promising study on the combination of Interferons and Maitake Medicinal Mushrooms to combat prostate cancer has led to a possible alternative treatment for prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, and is the most common cause of death among elderly men. Many factors, including genetics and diet, have been implicated in the development of prostate cancer.
Although several conventional therapies are currently available, alternative approaches must be developed to combat the progression of prostate cancer cells.
A study published by Paul Pyo, Brandon Louie, Srinivas Rajamahanty et al (J Hematol Oncol. 2008) investigated whether the combination of Interferons and an extract of the medicinal mushroom Maitake might prevent the progression of Prostate cancer.
Interferons are proteins made and released by host cells in response to the presence of pathogens such as tumor cells. They allow for communication between cells to trigger the protective defenses of the immune system that eradicate pathogens or tumors. Their antitumor effects have been demonstrated on certain cancers.
Interferons have more moderate side effects compared to chemotherapy.
Maitake medicinal mushrooms are rich in minerals (such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium), various vitamins (B2, D2 and niacin), fibers and amino acids. One active constituent for enhancing the immune activity was identified in the late 1980s as a protein-bound beta-glucan compound.
Maitake Medicinal Mushrooms contain compounds used as alternative treatment for prostate cancer
In the study, the combination of a specific Interferon (Interferon-α2b) and a bioactive extract of the Maitake medicinal mushroom was explored as an alternative approach for prostate cancer immunotherapy. This combination is hoped to improve anticancer activity.
This extract of the Maitake medicinal mushroom has been a subject of much medical research. For instance, in an animal model the Maitake medicinal mushroom extract activated natural killer cells.
The study concludes that it is conceivable that Maitake medicinal mushroom, as part of a combination therapy with Interferons, could help combat prostate cancer, becoming an alternative treatment for prostate cancer — of at least, an medicinal mushroom enhanced traditional treatment model

AMD64 PICs, CPI
By brendan on Feb 27, 2007
- What is the Level 2 cache hit rate?
- What is the Level 2 cache miss volume?
- What is the hit rate and miss volume for the TLB?
- What is my memory bus utilization?
Question 3 concerns a component of the memory management unit - the translation lookaside buffer (TLB). This processes and caches virtual to physical memory page translations. It can consume a lot of CPU (the worst I've seen is 60%), and it can be tuned. A good document for understanding this further is Taming Your Emu by Richard McDougall.
Question 4 seems obvious - the memory bus can be a bottleneck for system performance, so, how utilized is it? Answering this isn't easy, but it is usually possible by examining CPU PICs.
cpustatThere are many AMD64 CPU PICs available, which can be viewed using tools such as cpustat and cputrack. Running cpustat -h dumps the list:
# cpustat -h Usage: cpustat [-c events] [-p period] [-nstD] [interval [count]] -c events specify processor events to be monitored -n suppress titles -p period cycle through event list periodically -s run user soaker thread for system-only events -t include tsc register -D enable debug mode -h print extended usage information Use cputrack(1) to monitor per-process statistics. CPU performance counter interface: AMD Opteron & Athlon64 event specification syntax: [picn=]There are around fifty names above such as "FP_dispatched_fpu_ops" which describe the PICs available. On my AMD Opteron CPUs you can measure four of these at a time, which can be provided in the arguments to cpustat, eg,
[,attr[n][= ]][,[picn=] [,attr[n][= ]],...] event[0-3]: FP_dispatched_fpu_ops FP_cycles_no_fpu_ops_retired FP_dispatched_fpu_ops_ff LS_seg_reg_load LS_uarch_resync_self_modify LS_uarch_resync_snoop LS_buffer_2_full LS_locked_operation LS_retired_cflush LS_retired_cpuid DC_access DC_miss DC_refill_from_L2 DC_refill_from_system DC_copyback DC_dtlb_L1_miss_L2_hit DC_dtlb_L1_miss_L2_miss DC_misaligned_data_ref DC_uarch_late_cancel_access DC_uarch_early_cancel_access DC_1bit_ecc_error_found DC_dispatched_prefetch_instr DC_dcache_accesses_by_locks BU_memory_requests BU_data_prefetch BU_system_read_responses BU_quadwords_written_to_system BU_cpu_clk_unhalted BU_internal_L2_req BU_fill_req_missed_L2 BU_fill_into_L2 IC_fetch IC_miss IC_refill_from_L2 IC_refill_from_system IC_itlb_L1_miss_L2_hit IC_itlb_L1_miss_L2_miss IC_uarch_resync_snoop IC_instr_fetch_stall IC_return_stack_hit IC_return_stack_overflow FR_retired_x86_instr_w_excp_intr FR_retired_uops FR_retired_branches_w_excp_intr FR_retired_branches_mispred FR_retired_taken_branches FR_retired_taken_branches_mispred FR_retired_far_ctl_transfer FR_retired_resyncs FR_retired_near_rets FR_retired_near_rets_mispred FR_retired_taken_branches_mispred_addr_miscop FR_retired_fpu_instr FR_retired_fastpath_double_op_instr FR_intr_masked_cycles FR_intr_masked_while_pending_cycles FR_taken_hardware_intrs FR_nothing_to_dispatch FR_dispatch_stalls FR_dispatch_stall_branch_abort_to_retire FR_dispatch_stall_serialization FR_dispatch_stall_segment_load FR_dispatch_stall_reorder_buffer_full FR_dispatch_stall_resv_stations_full FR_dispatch_stall_fpu_full FR_dispatch_stall_ls_full FR_dispatch_stall_waiting_all_quiet FR_dispatch_stall_far_ctl_trsfr_resync_branc_pend FR_fpu_exception FR_num_brkpts_dr0 FR_num_brkpts_dr1 FR_num_brkpts_dr2 FR_num_brkpts_dr3 NB_mem_ctrlr_page_access NB_mem_ctrlr_page_table_overflow NB_mem_ctrlr_turnaround NB_mem_ctrlr_bypass_counter_saturation NB_ECC_errors NB_sized_commands NB_probe_result NB_gart_events NB_ht_bus0_bandwidth NB_ht_bus1_bandwidth NB_ht_bus2_bandwidth NB_sized_blocks NB_cpu_io_to_mem_io NB_cache_block_commands attributes: edge pc inv cmask umask nouser sys See Chapter 10 of the "BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide for the AMD Athlon 64 and AMD Opteron Processors," AMD publication #26094

The CPU column shows that the output is slightly shuffled - a harmless side effect from the way cpustat was coded (it pbinds a libcpc consumer onto each CPU in the available processor set, and all threads write to STDOUT in any order). These PICs are provided by programmable hardware registers - so there is no ideal way around the four-at-a-time limit. You can shuffle measurements between different sets of PICs, which cpustat supports.
Reference DocumentationSince different CPUs provide different PICs, the guide mentioned at the bottom of the cpustat -h output will list what PICs your CPU type provides. It is important to read these guides carefully - for example, PICs that track cache misses may have some exceptions to what is considered a "miss".
I spent a while with AMD's #26094 guide, but I found that the PIC descriptions raise more questions than answers. (try to find basics such as "instruction count")... If you find yourself in a similar situation, it can help to create known workloads and then examine which metrics move by a similar amount. I used this approach to confirm what PICs provided cycle counts and instruction counts.
I did eventually find two good resources on AMD PICs,
- Basic Performance Measurements by Paul J. Drongowski of AMD - a summary of the most important PICs and suggestions for interpretation.
- Opteron Hardware Performance Counters by Richard Smith of Sun - a crash course in AMD Architecture from a PICs perspective.
If you are interested in PIC analysis for any CPU type, see chapter 8 "Performance Counters" in Solaris Performance and Tools, by Richard McDougall, Jim Mauro and myself. One of the metrics we made sure to include in the book was CPI (cycles per instruction), as it proves to be a useful starting point for understanding CPU behavior.
Example - CPIThe cycles per instruction metric (sometimes measured as IPC - instructions per cycle) is a useful ratio and (depending on CPU type) fairly easy to measure. If the measured CPI ratio is low, more instructions can be dispatched in a given time, which usually means higher performance. High CPI means instructions are stalling, usually on main memory bus activity.
The output of cpustat can be formatted with a little scripting; the following script "amd64cpiu" uses a little shell and Perl to aggregate and print the output:
#!/usr/bin/sh # # amd64cpiu - measure CPI and Utilization on AMD64 processors. # # USAGE: amd64cpiu [interval] # eg, # amd64cpiu 0.1 # for 0.1 second intervals # # CPI is cycles per instruction, a metric that increases due to activity # such as main memory bus lookups. # # ident "@(#)amd64cpiu.sh 1.1 07/02/17 SMI" interval=${1:-1} # default interval, 1 second set -- `kstat -p unix:0:system_misc:ncpus` # assuming no psets, cpus=$2 # number of CPUs pics='BU_cpu_clk_unhalted' # cycles pics=$pics,'FR_retired_x86_instr_w_excp_intr' # instructions /usr/sbin/cpustat -tc $pics $interval | perl -e ' printf "%16s %8s %8s\\n", "Instructions", "CPI", "%CPU"; while (<>) { next if ++$lines == 1; split; $total += $_[3]; $cycles += $_[4]; $instructions += $_[5]; if ((($lines - 1) % '$cpus') == 0) { printf "%16u %8.2f %8.2f\\n", $instructions, $cycles / $instructions, $total ? 100 \* $cycles / $total : 0; $total = 0; $cycles = 0; $instructions = 0; } } 'This script prints a column for CPI and for percent CPU utilization. I've used the PICs that were suggested in the AMD article - and from testing they do appear to be the best ones for measuring CPI.
Here amd64cpiu is used to examine a CPU bound workload of fast register based instructions,
# ./amd64cpiu.sh Instructions CPI %CPU 16509657954 0.34 97.56 16550162001 0.33 98.54 16523746049 0.34 98.41 16510783100 0.34 98.32 16497135723 0.34 98.29 \^CThe CPI is around 0.34. This is the maximum to be expected from the AMD64 architecture, which attempts to run three instructions per clock cycle.
Now for a memory bound workload of sequential 1 byte memory reads,
# ./amd64cpiu.sh Instructions CPI %CPU 4883935299 1.12 97.60 4852961204 1.12 97.03 4884120645 1.13 97.69 4898818096 1.12 97.92 4895064839 1.12 97.80 \^CThings are starting to become slower due to the extra overhead of memory requests. Many reads will satisfy from the level 1 cache, some from the slower level 2 cache, and occasionally a cache line will be read from main memory. This additional overhead slows us to 1.13 CPI, and we are running fewer instructions for the same %CPU.
Watch what happens when our memory workload performs 1 byte scattered reads (100 Kbytes apart),
# ./amd64cpiu.sh Instructions CPI %CPU 653300388 8.53 98.36 648496314 8.53 98.37 644163952 8.54 97.75 648941939 8.53 98.35 648507176 8.53 98.37 \^CMany of the reads will not be in the CPU caches, and so now most are requiring a memory bus lookup. Our CPI is around 8.53, some 25 times slower than register based CPU instructions. Our %CPU is still around the same, but this buys us fewer instructions in total.
As you can see, CPI is shedding light on memory bus activity - it's very cool, and from such a simple metric.
Now for a real application: Here I watch as Sun's C compiler chews through a source tree,
# ./amd64cpiu.sh Instructions CPI %CPU 2624028943 1.26 58.52 2992167837 1.19 63.17 2327129316 1.26 52.08 2046997158 1.27 46.14 2414376864 1.23 52.80 3305351199 1.23 70.72 \^CThat's not so bad - any memory access instructions must be hitting caches fairly often (something that we can confirm by measuring other PICs).
Beware of output such as the following:
# ./amd64cpiu.sh Instructions CPI %CPU 22695257 1.82 0.73 22197894 1.75 0.69 49626271 2.16 1.90 102731779 2.21 4.04 104795796 1.49 2.78 \^CThe CPUs are fairly idle (less than 5% utilization), and so CPI is less likely to be useful to indicate performance issues.
Suggested Actions - CPIWhile many PICs produce interesting measurements, it's much more useful if there is some action we can take based on the results. The following is a list of suggestions based on CPI.
Firstly, to be even considering this list you need to have a known and measured performance issue. If one or more CPUs are 100% busy, then that may be a performance issue and it can be useful to check CPI; if your CPUs are idle, then it probably won't be useful to check. As for measured performance issue - it can be especially helpful to be able to quantify an issue, eg average latency is 150 ms; tools such as DTrace can take these measurements.
- Measure other PICs. CPI is a high level metric, and there are many other PICs that will explain why CPI is high or low, such as cache hits and misses, TLB hits and misses, and memory locality.
- If CPI is low,
- Examine the application for unnecessary CPU work (eg, using DTrace)
- Get faster CPUs
- Get more CPUs
- If CPI is high,
- Examine the application for unnecessary memory work
- Recompile your application with optimization, and with Sun's C compiler
- Consider using processor sets to improve memory locality
- Get CPUs with larger caches
- Test different CPU architectures (multi-core/multi-thread may improve performance as bus distance is shorter)

It happens: you're at work, your stomach starts churning, and there's a little jingle in your pocket. Suddenly, you are 2 seconds away from punching E1 for a candy bar. But, before you do that, stop and make a healthy choice (at least!)
Try to choose a snack from the machine with healthy fats and the least amount preservatives (hard to do since anything in a machine is made to have a long shelf life). Also, go for something that will fill you up for a while. Foods with high carbohydrates and sugar (aka: eye candy calling your name in a vending machine) are good for a quick pick me up but, we do not want the sugar crash side effect. Hit your sweet tooth with a low calorie granola bar like those by Nature's Valley made with whole grain carbs and fiber (some bars have peanuts/almonds to give you added protien!). If you are wanting something salty pick Frito corn chips which have very basic ingredients: corn, corn oil and salt, are additive free, gluten free, MSG free, and have 0 Trans Fat! Do not waste a dime on damaging, unhealthy trans fatty Austin crackers.
If all else fails and you just can not seem to decide, assess your body cues on exactly how hungry you might be. Kick mindless eating to the curb and buy a gum pack. Or flex your will power muscles and opt for eating half a candy bar. That is how you can use your jingle of change without adding a jiggle to your frame.

In Machine learning regression problem, why the local minimum is computed for a derivative function instead of the actual function?
Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_descent
The gradient descent algorithm is applied to find a local minimum of the function $$
$f(x)=x^4−3x^3+2,$ ----(A)
with derivative
$f'(x)=4x^3−9x^2.$ ----(B)
Here to find the local minimum using gradient descent algorithm for the function $(A)$ they have used the derivative function of $(A)$ which is function $(B)$.
Hope this one is clear.

I had an abnormal pap too, which from what I've been told is pretty common due to all the cellular changes occurring. I wouldn't be too concerned - unless you have an aggressive doc like I used to have. She wanted to biopsy me though I was 6 wks prego. I wouldn't let her do a biopsy until after the pregnancy. Even then, I went elsewhere to do a routine pap first - came back normal, so no biopsy was needed in the first place. Wishing you the best!posted 03/08/2011 by ajv2007

Cruise Critic learned today that the state of Florida has issued to several travel agents in the state of Florida a "notice of intent to issue a cease and desist order" from selling insurance on behalf of unlicensed travel insurers. According to a press release from Florida's Department of Financial Services, the notifications were issued by Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink as a result of "ongoing investigations into complaints about the sale of unauthorized travel insurance in Florida" -- particularly through Colorado-based Prime Travel Protection Services.
Sink issued notices to three agencies: Palm Coast Travel, of Lake Worth, which operates Smartcruiser.com; Vacation Superstore Network, Inc., doing business as Best Price Cruises, of Port St. Lucie; and Legendary Journeys, Inc., of Sarasota. The charge: The agencies violated state law by selling insurance for Prime Travel, which was not licensed to sell insurance in Florida. The travel agencies have 21 days from the receipt of the notice to respond. The release further states that other travel agencies are currently under investigation and may be named for selling Prime's product or that of any other unlicensed insurer.
It's important to point out that these notifications do not require any agency to cease doing any business at this time, despite earlier media reports to the contrary. The state has merely established its intent to issue a cease and desist order, which would stop the agencies in question from selling travel insurance on behalf of unauthorized travel insurers. These allegations do not impact the agencies' ability to sell cruises or other travel products.
One question we have is: Why is this happening now? Prime Travel Protection actually went bankrupt about a month ago, and these three companies are now offering coverage via reputable companies. Best Price Cruises, for example, is currently offering insurance policies through iTravel Insured, Inc., an accredited business with the Better Business Bureau rated as "satisfactory." Legendary Journeys now sells policies through Travelex, a licensed insurance provider. And Smartcruiser.com cites well-known Access America as its current travel insurance provider.
But also unclear is whether the order could stop the agencies from selling other, legitimate travel insurance policies (in the actual notices of intent, copies of which are linked from Elliott.org, the Department of Financial Services alleges that the agencies are not licensed to sell any travel insurance in the state of Florida).
At press time, a spokesperson for the Department of Financial Services had not responded to our additional questions.
So what does this all mean for consumers? At this point, the takeaway here is to read the fine print before purchasing or accepting any travel insurance policy. Reputable providers offer policies that are underwritten by licensed insurers regulated by state insurance departments. You'll want to check your own state's insurance department to verify that a particular company is licensed to do business there.
If you don't want to do your own legwork, the United States Travel Insurance Association's Web site is a good all-around resource. All the companies that are listed as members of the USTIA subscribe to a rigorous code of ethics and are all legitimate, offering policies underwritten by licensed, and therefore highly regulated, insurance companies.

Can you help me find articles/links that specifically discusss why it's a bad idea to give in to toddler tantrums. There's a lot of info on how to avoid tantrums but I'm having trouble finding info to support my idea that you don't just give in.
Marchie wants cookie, I say no, toddler melts down, just as he's about to calm down daddy stomps into the room and gives him a cookie because "otherwise he'll never calm down". *sigh* I know. I'm so mad at DH right now from the latest incident. I refused to give my Marchie a cookie (at 10am before lunch) and DH accused me of creating control issues and gave toddler cookie after I said no. DH will tell toddler no, but if he starts crying he just gives in. I don't do this and when I try to correct my husband he says I'm being a control freak.
