The special, which aired Wednesday night, highlighted the achievements and antics that kept fans enthralled. Among Walters's picks were Ben Affleck, who won critical acclaim for his political thriller Argo; Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas; Prince Harry; and even pint-sized beauty pageant star Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson.
And her top pick as the Most Fascinating Person of 2012? Gen. David Petraeus, the decorated U.S. military hero and director disgraced by an affair that forced his resignation as director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

On the entertainment side, Family Guy creator (and upcoming Oscars host) Seth MacFarlane received a coveted spot, along with British boy band One Direction and 50 Shades of Grey author E L James.
Political nods went to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Walters asked him if he thought he was too heavy to become President. "That's ridiculous," Christie replied: "I mean, I don't know what the basis for that is. ... I've done this job pretty well."
Do you agree with Barbara's choices? Who do you think should have made the top 10?

Rain should continue to fall during the day Monday with high temperatures into the 40s and 50s in the afternoon.
One to three inches of snow is expected in northern parts of the state before the changeover to rain.
The rain should gradually taper off after midnight into Tuesday morning, but it could briefly turn back to snow in the mountains.

Teens hit 3 businesses in Poinciana
Investigation ongoing, deputies say
Authorities in Osceola County said two teens hit three businesses in a month in Poinciana, stealing bongs and booze.
Investigators two people with hooded sweatshirts over their heads, put a brick through the window of the P3 Smoke Shop before heading straight to the display cases to get to the expensive merchandise.
The unidentified people were caught on surveillance camera grabbing as much merchandise as they can, and then leaving. But 11 minutes later, the two came back for another round, smashing through more display cases.
The store's owner said about $1,000 worth of smoke equipment were stolen, but the burglars caused about $3,000 worth of damage.
Deputies said their investigation began in early February when the teens broke through the glass to a barbershop and a liquor store. But it was the surveillance video at the smoke shop that helped deputies identify the suspected vandals and thieves.
Detectives said the suspected burglars are just 15 and 16 years old, and each of them are facing different charges, including burglary, criminal mischief and petit theft.

The End of Watch actor was honored Monday night at FIJI Water's New Eyes for the Needy 80th Anniversary dinner, held at Colicchio & Sons in New York, for his work with the organization.
"Jake, who brought his mom as his date, talked at length to the small room – and he didn't even have to give a speech! – he shared some personal stories from childhood," an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
Gyllenhaal explained to guests that he got involved with the organization as a child because his grandpa, a doctor, made him donate his eyeglasses every time his prescription changed.
He added that while "all his friends were trying to save the seals, he maintained 'If you can't see the seals, how can you help them?' " the source adds.
Sporting a beard, Gyllenhaal and his mom sat next to How to Make It in America actress Lake Bell and her fiancé Scott Campbell.
Although not in attendance, Jay-Z, Adam Levine and Gwyneth Paltrow all donated items and experiences to the event's auction.

At this rate, Jeff Jakaitis might never get back into the net for the South Carolina Stingrays.
Pink in the Rink NightWho: Greenville vs. StingraysWhen: Today, 7 p.m.Where: North Charleston ColiseumTickets: 744-2248
The unofficial policy recently for Stingrays head coach Spencer Carbery has been to let his goalies play until they lose a game.
It's been a while since Ryan Zapolski has lost a game for the Stingrays. It's been a while since he's allowed a puck to cross his goal line as well.
Zapolski stopped all 32 shots he faced to record his second-straight shutout and his ECHL-leading sixth of the season to lead the Stingrays past the Greenville Road Warriors, 2-0, on Friday night before a crowd of 3,436 at the North Charleston Coliseum.
It was the third straight win for the Stingrays and their nine in the last 11 games as South Carolina improved to 29-23-5 (63 points) to remain in 7th place in the ECHL's Eastern Conference. The Road Warriors fell to 30-19-6 (66 points).
Zapolski, who leads the ECHL in goals-against average (1.75) and save percentage (.937) has allowed just one goal in his last three games. For the record, Zapolski has allowed just one goal in the last 89 shots he has faced, while winning three straight games.
To say that Zapolski is playing well would be an understatement.
"He's been phenomenal," Carbery said. "He was outstanding again tonight. I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but he made some huge saves, especially in the second period. He's seeing the puck well and moving really well. He just doesn't give the shooters a lot to shoot at."
Zapolski, who improved to 19-9-0, deflected much of the credit toward his teammates.
"The guys are playing so well in front of me," Zapolski said. "I'm not the only guy playing well right now. I've felt comfortable with the defense the entire season. They make my job so much easier. If there's a rebound they're there to clear it out. The success we're having defensively is because of the guys in front of me."
The Stingrays have recorded points in 10 of their last 11 games and Friday night were able to win without key players Tyler McNeely, Hunter Bishop, Matt Beca and Kevin Quick, who are all playing in the American Hockey League, out of the lineup. Bishop was called up to Manchester on Friday morning.
The return of Andrew Sackrison, Ryan Hayes and Tyler Johnson, who have been out for extended periods of time with injuries, to the lineup certainly helped the Stingrays cause against the Road Warriors.
"We got some fresh bodies into the lineup and that helped," Carbery said. "It wasn't our best game, but at this point in the season it was a huge win and two big points for us."
The Stingrays, who have just two wins against the Road Warriors in eight games this season, play Greenville twice more this weekend. Tonight's game at the North Charleston Coliseum in the Stingrays annual Pink in the Rink night to help breast cancer research.
"We can't rest of what we did tonight," Carbery said. "There's still a lot of hockey left this weekend, but it was a good start for us."
Jay Silvia gave the Stingrays 1-0 lead in the second period when he redirected a Luka Vidmar shot from the point.
Stingrays forward Phil Mangan provided the only other scoring in the game when Andrew Cherniwchan hit him with a beautiful pass as he was coming out of the penalty box in neutral ice.
Mangan split the Road Warriors defenders and back-handed a shot past Greenville goalie Connor Knapp for the score.
"That doesn't happen very often were you get a pass like that coming out of the penalty box," Mangan said. "I know (Knapp) likes to go down early, so I was just trying to get something up high on him."

Sony Xperia Z screen comparison, more camera samples emerge
70 Comments
1. REYNER (Posts: 187; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
i dont know but washed out colors viewing in wide angles doesn't seems to bother me at all. im not going to look at it side ways that often though i have to say its eye catching. having a good viewing angle only matters for people who keeps on bragging their phone or keep showing it without using it. what is more important to me is sunlight legibility i hope sony makes it legible. for white magic technology in xperia p is really good even under the bright sunlight., how i hope they include it with xperia z but anyways i cant wait for the upcoming review of this phone! :)

I agree with you. But in fact the reason of full-HD on =< 5 inch screen is useless also (thought that Pentile tech probably needs it) . People are still crazy about the "wonderful" numbers on paper, so this is still pretty disappointed (for some)

Agree with you, but it is still seen from wide angle. I hope sony will make it total black from side view. I use my phone for privacy and security not for bragging screen to other who can see what I'm doing. People who want wide viewing angle maybe lack of self confident so they need it to lift their coolness

This comparison vs the Note II is BETTER!

Sonyviet.vn is a forum with full of Samsung haters. I don't know what did they do but my Note 2 is still bright at 178 degree

The xperia z is a neo-ips its better than the samsung screens.

You sound defensive. Accept it, TFT sucks.
49. r41nier (Posts: 70; Member since: 13 Oct 2011)
Xperia Z don't use TFT. It uses Japan Display's LED-backlit Neo-IPS
54. phljcnth (Posts: 485; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
Says who? Look at the second picture man. Then tell me it's an IPS
57. r41nier (Posts: 70; Member since: 13 Oct 2011)
Look at my link man. It's a Neo-IPS. Japan Display is Sony's LCD manufacturer. Sony is one of the owner of JDI.
58. hung2900 (Posts: 956; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
IPS on iPhone, iPad, OneX and PLS on Note 10.1 are TFT LCD
40. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1116; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
It does matter on some situations, like if you are seeing a video on your phone and your friend wants to see too you both can't see the screen head on, i found the excellent viewing angles on my One X to be quite useful but thats me. I will get thumbed down for this but Sony fans try to make the cons of their phones look like not a con, look at the Xperia S, "OMG THA BEST PHOONE EVAAARRR!!!11!1!1ONE!!1" and it failed miserably. (Don't get me wrong i love the Xperia S's sexy design.)
41. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
my thing is, LETS MAKE THE CONS OF SAMSUNG
(you know? the blueish tinted screen and plastic build? as well as their stolen ideas........ooops :( )
known as much as the "nit picky" things with sony..........then i will have nothing to say......
51. REYNER (Posts: 187; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
plug it to hdmi cable and in to the TV and the problem is gone
66. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1116; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Do you have an HDMI cable and a TV in your pocket? I sure don't have one.
2. sheik (Posts: 249; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
Too bad, Viewing angles looks way worser than other smart phones. It will take a hit at sales..
20. RaKithAPeiRiZ (Posts: 1488; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
i dont think it will take that much of a hit , it will still sell , but if it had some IPS display then it would have been the best among all
50. r41nier (Posts: 70; Member since: 13 Oct 2011)
It actually uses JDI's Neo-IPS. There is just something wrong with that comparion.
24. r41nier (Posts: 70; Member since: 13 Oct 2011)
compared to Note II. http: //sonyviet.vn/2013/01/xperia-z-lan-dau-cham-tran-galaxy-note-2-trong-1-bo-anh-sac-net/
i don't know what happened to the comparison here.
42. HDShatter (Posts: 1021; Member since: 17 Jan 2013)
TFT can refer to any lcd technology actually, there is a pretty good chance its IPS we will have to wait a few weeks for proof though.
31. Feanor (Posts: 717; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
I think people place too much importance on viewing angles which is not a crucial handicap and less on brightness of screen which for a device that is meant to be used very often outdoors is an extremely important matter. The Z may have poor viewing angles but one of the brightest screens (even without White Magic). The Super AMOLED screens, like the one on the Galaxy S3 are notoriously dim under the sun. So, what do you prefer? I bright screen visible under the sun, or one with great viewing angles that is hardly discernible under the sun?
38. maccess (Posts: 742; Member since: 16 Jan 2013)
Honestly the s3 screen isn't notoriusly dim.. have you ever used one? My s3 perfectly fine even under the very bright sunlight.. it just not as bright as the lcd though.. but it's perfectly fine trust me.. or maybe some people really2 have problem with their eyes..
52. cripton805 (Posts: 1440; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
I dont think any of this matters with any of these screens. I always keep the brightness down all of the way on my GS3 because even at night, its too bright and it hurts my eyes.
60. Feanor (Posts: 717; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
I'm just talking about objective criteria and what I have read. The Xperia Z manages a brightness of 500 candelas and the S3 less than 300. I also have read that the S3 screen washes out quickly under strong sun. Even if to your experience the GS3 is adequate in brightness, the Z is obviously still much brighter, which is what objectively counts, so forget about the poor viewing angles.
35. PunyPoop (Posts: 752; Member since: 18 Jan 2013)
Viewing angles are for retards mate. Using a phone sideways?
43. HDShatter (Posts: 1021; Member since: 17 Jan 2013)
Wiewing angles only matter if you like to share content, 99% of the time I am looking straight at my phone so I don't care what the view angles are.
53. cripton805 (Posts: 1440; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
Sometimes I watch youtube videos with others. Does that make my companions retards for not being able to see the screen at the same time?
71. PunyPoop (Posts: 752; Member since: 18 Jan 2013)
Nope, because that's not their phone :P if you want to share/watch videos, buy a tablet darn!

LG Optimus G Pro- looking wayyyy better now

Why not include butterfly into the comparison?? My screen is freaking amazing
6. jan25 (Posts: 470; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
those viewing angles are unsurprisingly horrible. i still prefer the display on the One X, it's simply the best to date.
68. HDShatter (Posts: 1021; Member since: 17 Jan 2013)
The display is better than the one x display, the rumour it was a standard LCD was wrong.
7. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
The biggest flaw seems to be battery life, 4 hours of screen time reported on 4.1.2. More excited than ever for the Oppo which has the same camera module, Sonyesque design, but an IPS screen and 2500mAh battery (which still seems underjuiced for fullHD/S4 Pro). The Galaxy S4 and AMOLEDFHD is looking more and more the final hope, although at 3000mAh the Huawei D2 certainly offers some solid level of energy.
8. howardbarrett (Posts: 45; Member since: 11 Jan 2013)
... and this is why I'm not crazy about the Xperia Z — the screen is s**t. Shame too, everything else looked good.

don't know what's wrong with xperia z.

The angles really do look bad.. I'm highly disappointed on that front. It's still one sexy phone though
11. flipjzn (Posts: 256; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
Pic 2. Samsung won yeah BUT it's a matter of preference. I personally prefer for the phone to have a little privacy, I don't want people I don't know seated next to new seeing what u am looking at the screen. U know!
34. freebee269 (Posts: 539; Member since: 10 Aug 2012)
i agree. i think the poor viewing angles is a plus for privacy.
12. vignesh_viggs (Posts: 34; Member since: 15 Jun 2012)
I'm sony Fan :) I love Xperia Z(also ZL) for it's specs and design :) however Poor viewing angles still unacceptable for High-end Premium phone :( O_o

Frankly said, I not really care. We look phone in correct angle not at side.
16. Dacha (Posts: 12; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
The Z was most likely set at 100% brightness what the pic was taken.
17. jk123 (Posts: 1; Member since: 18 Jan 2013)
washed out colors on some videos maybe due to the wallpaper used and on the home screen if you use a whitish wallpaper it will make the screen more light due to the ui on app drawer ithas a semi transparent rectangular background for the icons. and when you view videos and pictures where the Z uses a dark wallpaper the screen looks good to me. and btw who made the comparison for the second pic?
18. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
my nokia n86 is equipped with AMOLED as well and its viewing angles are perfect, but i don't understand why someone should look at his phone from angles?
the important case is the sharpness and vividness of colors when you look at it straight forward and in that aspect Sony will defeat every rival. don't focus on unimportant matters.
camera samples are perfect as well.
19. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Whoa, the second comparison picture.
AMOLED absolutely ridiculed the others
32. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Both AMOLED and LCD have their pros and cons.
Also AMOLED technology is quite young compared to LCD one..
21. Rexperia (Posts: 134; Member since: 28 Sep 2012)
Own the pnone first then comment after! people are crazy about amoled, s amoled, ips lcd or whatever it is. Honestly, to me as long as i can see it clearly and i'm happy with...it doesn't matter at all...the sky is limit..so what's mine is mine and what's yours is yours.
23. imnotascammer (Posts: 160; Member since: 22 Aug 2012)
Okay. Why does it look like S III has bigger screen than the Z? Or am I just being blind? Lol
64. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Because it has an on-screen buttons.
Wasting the screen space.
But those buttons disappear when watching video
25. parthpatels007 (Posts: 54; Member since: 27 May 2011)
The screen on S3 isnt an Super AOMLED+ Plus stands for RGB

There are, but not on concret yet, so far throwing it, hit things with it, rubbing sand on it have left no damage or marks.
37. FireDragon (Posts: 114; Member since: 13 Nov 2009)
Just few days ago, in a bus full of people, a guy who was on the seat and using his shiny new touchscreen phone with really gorgeous screen. He switched to a chat app and that app asked for Password, that was the moment he must have hated because as soon as he press first letter it shows up of course and screen was easily seen from any direction.
That guy looked around all the people above him, he tried to tilt his set, no use, he tried to cover screen with his hand and had to remove quickly because he must have pictured himself doing it too. At the end he had to go through punching all the letters and anyone could see what he typed.
My point is, good viewing might be WANTED in tablets, but for a phone it maybe not as good as it is a selling point. It is not about only password, personally I don't want just anyone to see what I am texting either. Or if I am dialing a number and so on.
39. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
This has to be the funniest excuse for a bad screen ever.
45. HDShatter (Posts: 1021; Member since: 17 Jan 2013)
View angles for phones is a gimmick, do you look at your phone from 100-180 degree angles? I highly doubt it.

> Boomershine lifts team at 2014 Open Championships
Boomershine lifts team at 2014 Open Championships
Matt Cannizzaro
USBC Communications
Published: March 18, 2014 |
RENO, Nev. -
Lindsay Boomershine of Brigham City, Utah, is confident on the lanes at the National Bowling Stadium and extremely comfortable around her teammates, and that proved to be a perfect combination Tuesday as she led Storm Products Inc. into the lead at the 2014
United States Bowling Congress Open Championships
The 28-year-old right-hander shot 225, 235 and 247 for a 707 series and helped the Brigham City team to games of 1,109, 1,158 and 1,074 for a 3,341 total. Towne & Country Lanes 1 of Hartland, Wis., previously held the lead in Regular Team with 3,311.
Dave Symes added a 704 set for Storm Products Inc. and was followed by Tyler Jensen (679), Chris Sand (672) and Ernest Goedicke (579).
"All of the people in our group are really good friends, and we work and bowl well together," said Boomershine, who won three titles at the NBS during the 2012 USBC Women's Championships. "That makes it so much easier. We're all out there working toward a goal, and we love being around each other."
During the team event, the group was under the watchful eye of Storm Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Hank Boomershine, who was unable to bowl because of a recent wrist surgery, but was able to see the lanes from a different perspective and offer suggestions about moves and ball changes.
"We communicate well as a team and constantly talk through what's happening on the lanes," said Boomershine, who bowls regularly at Bear River Bowl and made her sixth USBC Open Championships appearance. "Having Hank back there was very helpful, too. He helped the guys drill some balls, and then he had a great perspective to see the ball motion while we were bowling."
After victories in Scratch Doubles and Scratch All-Events, and a co-championship in Diamond Doubles at the Women's Championships in 2012, Boomershine looks at the Stadium in a whole new way.
In three games Tuesday, she only had two strike shots that knocked down less than nine pins, and she was 13-for-13 on single-pin spares on the way to 30 clean frames.
"There's just something about the aura here," Boomershine said. "I feel so confident because of the titles I won here previously. It really changes your whole mentality."
Much of Boomershine's drive and passion for bowling are courtesy of her uncle, Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Famer Tom Baker, who owns 10 PBA Tour titles and nine PBA50 Tour (formerly PBA Senior Tour) victories.
Bowling is as big a part of her life as ever before, and she's been busy doing a lot of coaching and clinics. Helping others has taught her to focus more on the positive things, even if it means fighting a battle with carry like she did Tuesday with help from her supportive teammates.
"I love to bowl, and so do these guys," Boomershine said. "They wait for this trip every year, and I'm so glad I get to be a part of it. Even if we didn't bowl well, we would've had fun, but this makes it so much better."
Storm Products 2 finished the day with a 2,879 total. Rex Johnson led the way with a 666 series and was joined by Corbet Austin (620), Jocko Mangin (567), Isaac Symes (534) and Lee Upp (492).
The members of Storm Products Inc. returned to the NBS on Wednesday and moved into second in Team All-Events with 9,401. Sand paced the group as he moved into second in Regular All-Events with 2,069, while Symes (1,883), Boomershine (1,852), Jensen (1,842) and Goedicke (1,755) contributed to the effort.
Towne & Country Lanes 1 leads Team All-Events with 9,756. Curtis Odom of Coldwater, Mich., sits on top of the standings in Regular All-Events with 2,076.

I'm nesting. But it's hard work.
So, I've been running around like a crazy woman lately and am giving myself a much needed house arrest. Except for a few nights out that we have obligations to attend in the next few weeks, I am taking it easy. But I still feel the need to fluff the home a bit and get ready for baby.
It's exhausting, I tell you. Especially with these other people crowding my nest.
I twittered: nesting. but the other people in this nest are seriously annoying me and Antique Mommy tweeted back: That's why the mama bird eventually kicks their feathery little butts out.
So true, so true, my wise friend.
My day has consisted of putting in a load of laundry, carrying one upstairs, looking at it, deciding to lie down on the bed while I look at it, then close my eyes for just a little bit. Then I wake shortly thereafter because the boys are all eating popsicles in their bedroom on the top bunk, Carter is humming quite loud and quite irritatingly the Indiana Jones theme song, or the second showing of Fire House Dog today has ended. (Or all of the above.)
So then I get up and fold that laundry basket and consider finally organizing the baby's clothes. I make it through two boxes and sort them by size. Another lie-down-on-the-bed session sounds so much more appealing than putting them all in the drawers right there in front of me. So, it's like my body doesn't even give me a choice. My head soon hits the pillow again and soon one or two children appear as close as possible to my face requesting another popsicle or another Lego man needing his hair put on or another showing of Fire House Dog. (Or all of the above.)
In the meantime I check my email and the size of my inbox quickly crashes my iPhone. For good reason. Offer up a gift card to Target and they will come.
And now, I'm totally planning to make something healthy for dinner and then really get back to those baby clothes. It's not like I mean to put it off. I love looking through each and every piece. It's divine. But so is my head hitting that pillow...

Hematology ServiceDepartment of MedicineMemorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer CenterNew York, NY, USA
Systemic light-chain (AL-)amyloidosis is treated by eliminating the clonal cells producing the free light chains (FLC) that cause the disease, allowing patients to survive and amyloid organ damage to stabilize or improve. Only one-third of newly diagnosed untreated patients with systemic AL-amyloidosis have sufficient organ reserves to tolerate high-dose melphalan with stem cell transplant (SCT). Post-SCT, two-thirds of patients experience at least a partial hematologic response (a 50% reduction in clonal plasma cells) but only half of the responders achieve a complete hematologic response, the optimal outcome with respect to survival and organ recovery. The remaining one third of patients do not respond and are treatment failures with a poor prognosis. Considering that the clonal plasma cells in AL-amyloidosis are indolent and non-proliferative, lack of response is less surprising than the fact that 30% of patients achieve complete hematologic responses. How melphalan is so effective is unclear.
The early experience with SCT in AL-amyloidosis was characterized by a 20% to 40% treatment-related mortality due to toxicities such as sudden cardiac death, intractable hypotension and massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage.(1) Improved patient selection and risk-adapted melphalan dosing have reduced treatment-related mortality to less than 5% at our center and elsewhere. Risk-adapted melphalan dosing aims to reduce treatment-related mortality, and is based on observed differences in melphalan-related toxicity and age-related survival in patients with AL-amyloidosis. This approach allows SCT to be a treatment platform not a high-risk strategy. Recently, we combined the platform of risk-adapted melphalan and SCT with adjuvant therapy (thalidomide and dexamethasone) in those failing to achieve a complete hematologic response post-SCT.(2) We are now evaluating the same approach with adjuvant bortezomib and dexamethasone.
In order to appreciate the role of high-dose melphalan and SCT in the treatment of systemic AL-amyloidosis one must consider the low-intensity therapies and the importance of patient selection. The goal remains eliminating the clonal plasma cells and FLC and supporting the patient over the time needed to achieve a hematologic response and organ stabilization or improvement. The conundrum of low-intensity therapy is that, though usually well tolerated, it is often ineffective because progression of amyloid organ-disease continues. Monthly oral melphalan and prednisone was the first therapy to show benefit in phase III trials.(3) Median survival was prolonged from 8 to 18 months and for the 20% who responded and survived more than 3.5 years there was a 20% incidence of myelodysplasia creating a risk of secondary leukemia. A multi-center phase II trial testing pulse dexamethasone followed by maintenance dexamethasone and alpha-interferon led to hematologic responses in 53% of patients; 24% achieved a complete response and median survival was 31 months.(4) In a phase II trial using monthly oral melphalan and dexamethasone, the response rate was 67% with 33% complete responses.(5) There were 2 treatment-related deaths in the first 100 days of therapy and 1 patient subsequently developed myelodysplasia but median survival exceeded 4 years. Many consider oral melphalan and dexamethasone the standard therapy for non-SCT patients. The combination is easily administered, usually for 6 to 12 months depending on the response of the FLC, and is similar to melphalan-based SCT except for the risk of myelodysplasia and secondary leukemia. In those failing melphalan and dexamethasone, clinical trials using bortezomib or lenalidomide should be sought; both agents are active. Thalidomide is active but difficult for patients to tolerate.(6)
The development of risk-adapted melphalan dosing and the application of SCT as initial therapy were both based on clinical trials. In the largest phase II clinical trial of high-dose melphalan and SCT, untreated patients enrolled within a year of diagnosis were stratified and randomized to initial SCT or SCT after 2 cycles of oral melphalan and prednisone.(7) The 100-day treatment-related mortality was 20% and 12% died in association with stem cell mobilization. At 5 years the overall survival was 50% for immediate and 39% for delayed SCT. Fewer patients randomized to initial oral therapy underwent SCT due to progression of disease; this affected patients with cardiac involvement disproportionately. Post-SCT survival was a function of the number of affected organ systems and the presence of cardiac involvement. With 4 years follow-up, median survival had not been reached for patients with either 1 or 2 major organ systems involved (of heart, kidneys, liver/GI tract and peripheral nervous system) or no symptomatic cardiac involvement,. In contrast, for those with > 3 organs involved or cardiac involvement, median survivals ranged from 5 to 10 months highlighting the importance of patient selection. Patients at high risk of dying in SCT were those with symptomatic 3- or 4-organ system involvement or cardiac amyloid associated with recurrent pleural effusions, cardiac syncope or symptomatic arrhythmias.
In a multi-center randomized prospective phase III trial, SCT was compared with oral melphalan and dexamethasone.(8) Comparisons of response rates and survival between those alive at least 3 months post-SCT and those who completed at least 3 months of oral melphalan and dexamethasone showed no difference. For both groups the hematologic response rates were 65%. Median survival was 48 months for SCT and 58 months for oral therapy. Surprisingly no cases of myelodysplasia were reported in the oral melphalan group. This phase III trial did not clearly define a standard therapy for AL. However, a case-cohort analysis has shown a survival advantage in good performance-status patients treated with SCT and quality of life improves in patients who respond to transplant.(9,10) The difference between 12 or 18 months of oral melphalan and dexamethasone and high-dose melpahlan with SCT is that, as in myeloma, transplant is not a final therapy but rather a platform for therapy with low risk of myelodysplasia. It is a useful initial therapy to which adjuvant treatments can be added in order to improve response rates.
In a phase II trial we tested the combined approach of SCT and adjuvant thalidomide and dexamethasone.2 Patients received SCT with risk-adapted melphalan dosing, and those not achieving a hematologic complete response at 3 months post-SCT received 9 months of thalidomide (50-200mg nightly) and dexamethasone (20mg/m2, 1-3 pulses monthly). Treatment-related mortality was 4.4% (2 of 45 patients) and at 3 months post-SCT 61% of patients had hematologic responses. Nearly half of those on adjuvant therapy had improved responses at 12 months including 6 who achieved complete responses. The response rate at 12 months was 77% with 38% complete responses; there was no difference in response rate based on the dose of melphalan. With a median follow-up of 29 months, median survival has not been reached. Further study of such combined approaches is warranted, employing SCT as a platform for therapy.
Blood stem cells have been mobilized with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and rare deaths have been reported during mobilization in patients with symptomatic cardiac amyloid or multisystem disease. Catastrophic complications though rare include a pulmonary syndrome associated with hypoxia and rupture of the spleen requiring emergent surgery. Currently we recommend that G-CSF be given at 6mcg/kg every 12 hours with collection beginning on day 5, and employ in-hospital monitored mobilization for patients at risk of hypoxia, hypotension or syncope.
In patients achieving complete or near complete hematologic responses, organ recovery can be variable. The liver can regenerate, regress to normal size and regain normal function. Peripheral and autonomic nervous system involvement can be reversed. Proteinuria can decline dramatically over months and years but creatinine clearance rarely improves and the kidneys remain at risk from non-amyloid insults. Recovery from cardiac involvement remains problematic. Only 20% of cardiac patients with hematologic responses show objective improvement by echocardiogram. With serial studies showing brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) decline in conjunction with FLC response, we now know that less injury or strain occurs as the precursor protein is eliminated. Despite complete hematologic responses, patients with cardiac amyloid can experience cardiac dysfunction and sudden arrhythmic events. The utility of low-dose anti-arrhythmic agents or anticoagulation in the management of cardiac patients remains to be prospectively defined.
High-dose melphalan with SCT for AL-amyloidosis is effective in patients with limited disease when they are treated at centers with low treatment-related mortality. It provides a platform for testing novel adjuvant therapies post-SCT with the goal of maximizing the complete hematologic response rate. Its role may change if outcomes with low-intensity therapies improve as novel agents are tested in combination with traditional ones such as cyclophosphamide, melphalan and dexamethasone. The development of anti-plasma cell monoclonal antibody therapy will also have a major impact on treatment strategies and patient outcomes.(11) Patients with systemic AL-amyloidosis should be treated whenever possible on clinical trials in order to advance our understanding and management of the disease.

Our world changed last weekend, and we are all still reeling. My hope and prayer has been this wake-up call would awaken a gentler side of humanity.
But I'm not sure that has happened.
Social media went bananas with people's opinions about gun control. I watched a prominent news personality bait an interviewee last night and then attack for simply answering the question presented. The people from Westboro Baptist Church are planning to picket the Connecticut funerals. (This last fact makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. Evil promoting evil is what they are.) I have seen malice and name calling and vile rhetoric.
For the sake of my kids and yours, stop the madness. Whatever happened to respectful discourse? If people spent as much time strengthening their own relationships and families as they do attacking others for their viewpoint we might actually get somewhere.
My experience as a communication teacher demands I remind people of a couple important things: empathy and mindfulness.
Empathy is the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes. If you haven't yet, read the blog republished on huffingtonpost.com (and many other sites) titled "I am Adam Lanza's mother." It went viral last weekend for a reason. Being able to put yourself in someone else's shoes is a skill that we really should be teaching our kids, but if grown-ups aren't practicing it, how will our kids learn?
Jon Kabat-Zinn, founder of the Mindfulness Stress Reduction Program at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, defines mindfulness as "paying attention in a particular way; on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally."
This means focusing our thought energy on what is in front of us at the moment and being present in whatever we are doing at the moment. It includes being mindful in our speech, which means abstaining from lying, divisive speech, abusive speech and idle chatter. Choose your words wisely. My mom used to say if it's unkind, untrue or unnecessary, don't say it!
Put down the cellphones. Unplug the laptop or TV. Ask your kids questions and interact with them. Get to know your neighbors. Volunteer. Adopt a family this Christmas. Get involved in something bigger than yourself — though you "may not have time," I can assure you that once you make time, you'll realize that a lot of things filling your time were useless.
Relationships are the foundational building blocks upon which a society is built. If you're worried about society (and most of us are) we are going to need to get down to the foundation and rebuild. Stop trying to change the world as a whole and start changing your marriage, your relationship with your kids, friendships, working relationships and the people with whom you interact every day.
This wasn't the blog I was planning to write a few days before Christmas, but I can't stay quiet anymore about the sad, disrespectful way I believe people are interacting.
Be nice! It's Christmas. And even if it wasn't, we should be good for goodness' sake; loving things that are true, pure and right. It's work and it requires us to step outside ourselves, but if we're going to change the downward spiral our society seems to be in, we each need to take responsibility and do what needs to be done.
I sincerely wish you and yours a wonderful holiday. And I hope that we can all work together to make 2013 the year that America comes out of the pit, one relationship at a time.

CLEMSON — A Daniel Island restaurant still has an item on its menu named for Tajh Boyd, despite Clemson's compliance department insisting earlier this week the entree lose its relation to the star quarterback.
NCAA Bylaw 220.127.116.11 "Use of a Student-Athlete's Name or Picture Without Knowledge or Permission"
If a student-athlete's name or picture appears on commercial items (e.g., T-shirts, sweatshirts, serving trays, playing cards, posters, photographs) or is used to promote a commercial product sold by an individual or agency without the student-athlete's knowledge or permission, the student-athlete (or the institution acting on behalf of the student-athlete) is required to take steps to stop such an activity in order to retain his or her eligibility for intercollegiate athletics.
On Wednesday, a fan tweeted a photo of the menu at Daniel Island Grille, clearly displaying an item called "Tajh Boyd Chicken Quesadillas" priced at $8.99. The photo made its way from social media to a Sporting News blog post.
Bylaw 18.104.22.168 of the NCAA rulebook prohibits the use of student-athletes' names or pictures without knowledge or permission.
As of Saturday night, the reigning ACC Player of the Year's name is still attached to a Mexican dish on the menu distributed to customers.
He's not the only active collegian on there. Also available for purchase is "Clowney's Turkey Avocado Wrap," also $8.99, along with the "Sammy Watkins Reuben," branded as a new item for $9.99.
South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins are both juniors with All-America accolades.
In a phone conversation Saturday with The Post and Courier, a shift manager indicated the establishment had not been contacted by Clemson's compliance department three days after the Boyd photo hit social media.
However, Clemson sports information director Tim Bourret told The Post and Courier the football compliance department was made aware on Tuesday of Boyd's likeness on the menu without his or the university's consent.
A member of the compliance staff spoke with a restaurant owner, who said the item would be removed from the menu, and Clemson followed up with the usual protocol of an official cease-and-desist letter.
Daniel Island Grille's owner, Brian Mahoney, was not in the restaurant Saturday evening. Messages left seeking comment were not returned.
On Sunday morning, South Carolina sports information director Steve Fink said in an e-mail: "We were unaware that Jadeveon's name was being used in this manner. We will follow up and take the appropriate actions necessary."
Clemson released the following statement to The Post and Courier on Aug. 7: "The Clemson Athletic Department works hand and hand with CLC and the University General Counsel to stop any unauthorized use of our student's name or likeness."
Following the Tigers' scrimmage Saturday, on the subject of not financially controlling his own likeness per NCAA rules, Boyd said, "Those things, at the end of the day, it is what it is. We play college football for a reason: so we can get an education and we can get paid at some point or another after we get out of college. You'll get it in due time. But right now, I don't really have any say-so in that."
Clowney was already the subject of an internal investigation last month regarding sale items on eBay with his signature on it, but USC cleared him of violations.
This story was updated Sunday morning with South Carolina's statement.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Advances in precision medicine have emerged from a new and growing understanding of the genetic changes that occur within cancer cells. New therapies that can specifically target cancer-driving mutations have improved treatment outcomes in breast, lung, and prostate cancer. The result has been a much more targeted attack of the tumor containing the mutated protein or pathway, and a reduction of side effects on a patient's normal cells and tissues.
Personalized cancer treatment requires access to tumor samples throughout the treatment cycle so that as cancer changes, so does the approach to therapy. Patients can now benefit from the longitudinal monitoring of mutations that are changing in response to treatment. Until recently, detecting mutations that could benefit from targeted drugs has required sampling cells recovered from diseased tissue.
In practice, this means that treatment decisions are made on a tissue biopsy that is representative of the cancer at one point in time and at one location in the body. Clearly, the advent of targeted therapies is driving a need for access to the genetic material of the tumor. To effectively monitor patients on a longitudinal scale, these samples are needed more often and with greater ease of collection than a traditional solid tumor biopsy can provide.
There is a population of tumor cells circulating in the bloodstream that can address this need for closer monitoring—the circulating tumor cell (CTC). Metastasis, the development of secondary malignant growths at distant sites, arises when an accumulation of genetic errors sufficiently deregulate growth control causing the cancer cells to become mobile. These cells, carrying genetic material that reflects the tumor, migrate from their primary site through the bloodstream or the lymphatic system to other, distant sites in the body.
It is the metastatic events that lead to the majority of cancer-associated mortality. By extracting CTCs from a patient's blood, the much-needed longitudinal analysis to track possible disease progression and the likelihood of metastases is made possible—even after there has been a surgical removal of the primary tumor. The challenge to date has been to reliably recover this rare CTC population in a manner that allows sensitive molecular analysis.
For molecular analysis, CTCs need to be effectively and reliably separated from the tens of millions of normal lymphocytes and the hundreds of millions of red blood cells found in whole blood—a significant technical hurdle.
Cynvenio Biosystems' LiquidBiopsy platform leverages a technology that was developed to sort molecular libraries with upwards of 1014 individual components. By that measure, isolating between 10 and 1,000 tumor cells from a blood draw is a significantly more straightforward task.
The LiquidBiopsy platform works by attaching nanometer-sized paramagnetic beads to target cells in blood using monoclonal antibodies. The platform then applies ultra-high magnetic gradients within a microfluidic CTC sheath flow cell to extract from the blood only those cells that were annotated with the paramagnetic beads (Figure 1). The population of target tumor cells is thus recovered free of all but about 0.001% of the normal blood cells.
By eliminating the normal cells so efficiently, CTCs extracted with the LiquidBiopsy platform can be molecularly analyzed with ease with a number of downstream technologies including NGS, expression analysis, PCR, as well as traditional microscopy and pathology, etc. The utility of this is demonstrated by ease of examining a blood sample for the presence of cells containing a mutation for which a drug is available.
By examining blood samples containing a small number of spiked tumor cells known to contain a druggable mutation in the gene for PIK3ca, the platform demonstrates robust detection of the mutation using either PCR (Figure 2C) or next-generation sequencing (Figure 2D) based readouts. Therefore, for the first time, the LiquidBiopsy platform provides a practical means to analyze the genetic sequence of tumor cell populations directly purified from whole blood.
Examination of a sample from a patient with breast cancer shows that mutations can be detected in the CTC population and that some, but not all, of these mutations are detectable in a biopsy sample (Table 1). Therefore the CTC population reflects an aspect of the disease that is recoverable only from a blood sample.
The LiquidBiopsy isolation and analysis technology has proven itself a powerful tool to effectively identify mutations in patient CTC samples. The platform has immediate applications in the clinical trial setting where, for the first time, CTC technology can address the need for better access to, and tracking of, biomarkers in near real-time. LiquidBiopsy can be used to identify candidates for specific targeted therapy trials, thus accelerating trial recruitment. The molecular readout from a CTC sample can also serve to mine patient samples for biomarkers that are predictive of a favorable outcome.
Finally, when a specific mutation is being addressed, the prevalence of the mutation in a LiquidBiopsy sample can be serially monitored with ease. Thus the design, identification, and longitudinal analysis of patient cohorts can be accelerated with impacts on both efficacy of treatment as well as discovery and longitudinal validation processes.
