As physicians lose decision-making authority to payers, drug companies need to segment markets more effectively. In Vivo, July/August 2016, By Roger Longman / Email the Author / View Full Article As physicians lose decision-making authority to payers, drug companies need to segment markets more effectively. In particular, they need to determine the patient populations prescribers are most likely to treat and that will spark the fewest access battles. And they need to focus on the specific payer lines-of-business least inclined to block new drugs' use. Please click here to read the full...Learn More
Cardiologists bemoaned high cost of new drugs and high hurdles for reimbursement at the American College of Cardiology annual meeting; will outcomes data save the day? The Pink Sheet, April 11, 2016, By Emily Hayes / Email the Author / View Full Issue Sponsors of the PCSK9 inhibitors have been having a hard time fighting their way into the cholesterol market in their first year of launch. Cardiologists are wary of high prices for new drugs and payers have reportedly created an obstacle course for the doctors who are on board. The build-up of investor excitement over anti-PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies in the post-Lipitor era was fast and heavy, despite some awareness early on in their development of the risks of launching injectables in a market dominated by oral generics ("Will New Injectables Sell In An Oral, Mainly Generic Cholesterol World?" — "The Pink Sheet," Apr. 9, 2012). With high LDL-lowering potency, good tolerability and a genetically based mechanism of action that is similar to statins, the PCSK9 class looked like a game-changer in cholesterol reduction, despite all of the available generics, especially without outcomes data ("PCSK9 Mechanism Lends Confidence Ahead Of Outcomes Data" — "The Pink Sheet," Mar. 23, 2015). But performance of Amgen Inc.'s Repatha (evolocumab), approved in August...Learn More
The Timmerman Report, By Luke Timmerman, April 4, 2016 One of the big ideas in biotech today is that you can prevent severe, chronic migraine headaches. This story has a lot of juicy ingredients: intriguing biology, bona fide medical value, and a potentially broad impact on millions of people. But if the drugmakers in this emerging category overplay their hand, and don't pay careful attention to the new drug pricing reality, it could become a train wreck. Think about the PCSK9 drugs. Not long ago, biologists and cardiologists were raving about the cholesterol-lowering power of these antibodies from Amgen and Sanofi/Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. Both drugs won FDA approval to much fanfare last summer. Months later, sales of these drugs are barely a rounding error for either company. The vast majority of prescriptions (about 75 percent by estimates from Amgen) are being denied by payers via prior authorization procedures. And the denials keep coming on appeal. Payers want to see whether these $14,000 list-priced drugs are any better than cheap generic statins at what really counts – reducing heart attack and stroke. Until cardiovascular outcomes data rolls in from clinical trials in 2017, and data accumulates on their long-term safety, payers have tucked these drugs in a tidy little box. They...Learn More
Newest hepatitis C entrant doesn't have the best value in all subpopulations, according to analysis by Real Endpoints, but Medicaid's mandatory discount could make up for those disadvantages. The Pink Sheet, March 28, 2016, By Cathy Kelly / Email the Author / View Full Issue Merck & Co. Inc.may find the unique drug pricing rules in Medicaid help create the best opportunity for its recently approved hepatitis C drug, Zepatier (grazoprevir/elbasvir), relative to prospects in the commercial and Medicare Part D markets. Zepatier is the third all-oral hepatitis C combination drug to reach the market and it has a narrower label than Gilead Sciences Inc.'s market-leading Harvoni (sofosbuvir/ledipasvir). To compensate for those challenges, Zepatier is positioned to compete mainly on price. Its wholesale acquisition cost is $54,600 for a treatment regimen, approximately 30% below Harvoni's list price ("Merck's Biggest Impact With Zepatier Approval May Be On HCV Pricing" — "The Pink Sheet," Feb. 1, 2016). A recent analysis by RealEndpoints' drug value and pricing tool RxScorecard highlights the complicated considerations that go into commercial strategies across the three major markets – Medicare, Medicaid and commercial plans – and shows how the pricing rules governing one sector, Medicaid, might offer advantages that the others do not. Merck is not indicating that its primarily focus for Zepatier will be Medicaid. The company told...Learn More
Forbes, Pharma & Healthcare, March 24, 2016 by Luke Timmerman The Dream Team That Could Fix Drug Pricing Please click here to read full...Learn More
Despite discount, Merck's just approved Zepatier unlikely to win share with most US payers, except in Medicaid, according to RxScorecard™. New combo from Gilead could ensure company's dominant position among US payers. Westport, CT, March 10, 2016 It can take more than a big discount to get payers to buy into a new drug. Although Merck is launching its new hepatitis C virus (HCV) medicine, Zepatier, at an approximate 30% discount to the "list" price of the overwhelming market leader, Gilead's Harvoni, RxScorecard™ analysis shows that it is unlikely to make significant headway in most commercial and Medicare plans. Meanwhile, RxScorecard™ shows that Gilead's sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) combination, likely to be approved this summer, could be a big winner, obsoleting Gilead's own Harvoni, as Harvoni sidelined Gilead's first entry, Sovaldi. But SOF/VEL will succeed only if it matches the discounting Gilead is providing with Harvoni. Real Endpoints LLC (RE) came to these conclusions based on its proprietary tool RxScorecard™, which assesses the relative value of marketed and pipeline drugs from a payer's point of view. RE defines value as a full assessment of a drug's efficacy, safety, convenience, adherence and economic attributes in comparison to other therapies in the indication. The HCV market has been enormously attractive to drug companies. According...Learn More
Analysis from 2015 showed that because PCSK9 inhibitors had not proved more than incremental value for most patients, payers would dramatically restrict their usage. Poor Q4 sales show that's exactly what happened. Westport, CT, February 11, 2016 In a press release issued July 7, 2015, Real Endpoints LLC (RE) predicted that the two soon-to-be-launched PCSK9 inhibitors from Amgen and Regeneron/Sanofi would not get substantial market uptake. RE based this conclusion on its proprietary tool RxScorecard™, which assesses the relative value of marketed and pipeline drugs from a patient's and payer's point of view. RE defines value as a full assessment of a drug's efficacy, safety, convenience, adherence and economic attributes in comparison to other therapies in the indication. RxScorecard indicated that while both products offered potential efficacy benefits, they demonstrated little incremental value for most patients because of their lack of meaningful outcomes data at launch and their expected high pricing. As a result RE said last July that "Payers will have an extraordinary opportunity to control costs in this class." That's exactly what they did. Now that Q4 sales are in for both Praluent and Repatha, the magnitude of their launch failure is clear. Praluent sold only $7 million in Q4; Amgen has not released data on Repatha,...Learn More

Harvard Business Review, December 1, 2015 by Robert Galvin, MD and Roger Longman Why do medications cost so much, particularly specialty drugs that treat the most serious conditions? Mostly because U.S. drug companies can price them however they want. But pharmaceutical companies don't deserve all of the blame for high drug prices. Lots of other actors in purchasing, distribution, and brokerage have greater incentives to keep prices high than to lower prices or choose drugs that reduce longer-term medical and business costs, like absenteeism. Employers have the greatest potential to influence some of those actors and, ultimately, to chip away at high drug prices. But to appreciate the power that employers have in this area, you must first understand how competing incentives work in the world of drug pricing. Click here to read full...Learn More
'DrugAbacus', a Comparative Cancer Drug Pricing Platform Powered by Real Endpoints' RxScorecard™, is Launched
Westport, CT, June 19, 2015 – Real Endpoints (RE) is pleased to announce that its RxScorecard™ is the information technology platform supporting Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center's DrugAbacus – an interactive tool for considering the basis of cancer drug prices. Conceived by Dr. Peter B. Bach, Director of the Center for Health Policy and Outcomes at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK), DrugAbacus was launched at www.drugabacus.org. MSK's DrugAbacus generates a dollar-value for cancer drugs available in the United States (beginning in 2001 with Gleevec) based on a user's settings for six different domains of potential value including the treatment's survival benefit, side effects, and the incidence of the condition targeted. Memorial Sloan Kettering licensed the Real Endpoints RxScorecard platform for research purposes so users can generate "Abacus prices" and compare them with actual prices of these drugs at the time of launch in a visual and intuitive format. "We believe RxScorecard is the only tool available that provides a 360 degree comparison of the multiple components of a drug's value in an independent, objective and systematic approach. We developed the IT platform to make it very easy for users to access our analysis, and are delighted that Dr. Bach selected this platform for DrugAbacus," said Julie Eskay Eagle, RE's Vice...Learn More

Just a day after a relatively uneventful start to the fall signing period Zeller, a 6-foot-9 power forward, announced his decision at a much anticipated announcement at Washington (Ind.) High.
Zeller, Scout.com's No. 16 prospect, opted to stay home and play for Tom Crean and Indiana.Zeller What was Cream's reaction when he heard the news?
"He was pretty happy to say the least," Zeller said at the press conference.
So why Indiana?
"The players and the coaches were the biggest things," he said. "I think I can get along with the players pretty well and coach Crean seems to be rebuilding the school pretty well, but also the business school is ranked real high."
With Zeller on board, Indiana's two-man recruiting class, that also consists of AAU teammate and four-star prospect Austin Etherington, ranks No. 17 nationally.
"Growing up in the state I think it'll mean a lot to play in the state and represent the state," Zeller said. "I think we'll have a good team."
As a junior, Zeller, who ranks as the No. 4 power forward in the 2011 class, led Washington a to state title and averaged 20.5 points and just over 11 rebounds per game.

Radio Team 'Gift Swap'
Every month we have our team luncheon and today we did just that. Usually it has some sort of a theme often coinciding with a holiday. The food as always was incredible.
Every month we have our team luncheon and today we did just that. Usually it has some sort of a theme often coinciding with a holiday. The food as always was incredible.
Attention everyone: we now officially have T-minus eight days until Christmas, and preparation time is running out faster than we can shove holiday cookies in our mouths. We still have to buy last-minute presents, dig out those stockings from the back of our closets and make time for that awful office party.
Director Bob Clark's classic holiday comedy has a distinction that few family movies can claim: Most people don't mind watching it over and over again.
On Christmas morning, there's nothing worse than getting a bad reaction to one of your presents. This is especially prevalent among the younger crowd, particularly those under age 12. Why? Well, the kiddos don't necessarily have an understanding of faking appreciation and re-gifting later, so it just comes off as bratty behavior.
The holiday season isn't just a time for good tidings and spreading cheer, it's also a month-long occasion where frustration builds to a point of near-explosion...
There's something about the holidays that puts a lot of us here at TheFW into extra crafty moods. Maybe it's all those awesome Etsy decorations we so wish we could copy or just the fact we're feeling particularly festive this time of year. Either way, trying to get all creatively crafty is just plain old fun.
No talk show host does Christmas (or Bob Dylan) like Jimmy Fallon.

Dearest Friends,
Please don't read this if life style interventions will cause you stress.
Please read this if you are interested in life style interventions with regards to diet.
Its a strange co-incidence that this article landed in my inbox the same day as my increased cancer marker, I am a making plans to do the full ketogenic diet, sold by doctor COY. its the ultra marathon of life style interventions. On a separate thread re a book review, the premise of the books was attacked and indirectly the lifes work of many worthwhile doctors. I presonally know one of the doctors and am impressed generally with their knowledge ( a few things on colorectal i think they are missing ). basically this discussion is focused on diet and the current science.
PS the diet, and fasting well its a low cost, effective strategy to try, of course discuss with your doctor. ask them about tktl1. they won't know, you will need to educate them each step of the way.
By Dr. Mercola
This quote is one of many from the book below, DER is dietary energy restriction. If you are interested, just google ketogenic and cancer, some links are on my blog.
Late-onset DER also delayed malignant progression and significantly extended mouse survival. These effects were associated with changes in metabolic biomarkers, including blood glucose and lactate levels (Fig. 17.15). We showed that expression of these biomarkers was linked to the downregulation of the IGF-I/ Akt/ Hif-1α signaling pathway [77]. Our findings emphasize an important role for activation of the IGF-I/ Akt/ Hif-1α signaling pathway in potentiating the antiapoptotic phenotype of astrocytomas and indicate that DER targets this signaling pathway. A goal of the cancer drug industry is to target the IGF-I/ Akt/ Hif-1α pathway for tumor management. Our results show that DER can target this pathway without the use of expensive and toxic cancer drugs. Cancer patients and their oncologists should know about this.

i was not going to post this, i don't like overwhelming the group here with all my alternative research.
but john23 and I had a small debate, about lifestyle, this article was the perfect proof for me.
its actually got nothing to do with the science, its far more simple, people fear change, they don't embrace it.
just my opinion and observation. remember my exercise post and what a futile effort that was at getting our community to exercise, to improve our prognosis.
the only person it helped was me. Its not personal with john23, i love the guy, its just he is like so many that simply do not believe in lifestyle
thank god we all have our right to choose our medical treatment, its just for me that lifestyle.
I don't really have the emotional energy to defend treatments I share here from attack, any issues with ketogenic go attack mercola.
i doubt he will reply either.
thanks for replying, i am about to call doctor coy and place my first order for a months worth of ketogenic food and drinks.
when the going gets tough the tough goto mcdonalds for a shake ( only joking ) actually they get going.
my cea just came in at 12, a small increase, ( I am back in the game I think ) , got another vaccine shot tomorrow.
ps http://www.mskcc.org/blog/scientists-discuss-major-trends-modern-research just got this from tony mwnm more opinion, this time msk ceo.
its all a matter of who you going to trust, it starts with yourself

I don't think you should worry about 'overwhenlming' us with your posts about alternative research. We see your post subject line, and if we're not intereted we don't have to open up the thread.

This video might save your life, or add a few days, DONT watch it if a healthy diet will cause you stress.
If you want to understand sugar, cancer and some cell biology, then go ahead and make your day!
i feel a bit like john the baptist, tony mwnn provided the above link, watch the video 31min from the ceo of msk.
if you don't have time just go to min 26, its all about sugar, and the single biggest thing we can do as a community is ditch all sugar if we want to live.
sounds real extreme, but that what I had to tell myself 2 1/2years ago to loose my 50 kilograms of fat. noone loved sugar more than me, I still have a few troublesome cells.
i am enjoying being so healthy and starving my cancer cells.
its a real perverse satisfacion knowing that even if one day those pesky cells take me out, well I have starved them for their entire life.
That I find really emotionally satisfying, it made giving up sugar simple.
Have a heart to heart with your onc about the ketogenic diet, what you got to loose beyond a few pounds, you might gain a few days!
the science, the articles, the anecdotes compelling. of course we have our dinosaurs and they can suck down coke and eat icecream.
the msk ceo said it, its diet and its igf1. I am going for a workout, it drives down blood glucose and is good for my heart, gets some extra o2 floating aound
if you are conviced about diet, remember all the science, convert your family and friends and we just made the world a healthier place.
that was so easy!
PS be a lion, not a sheep!

Mar 11, 2013 - 2:52 pm
for posting this here, I wasn't going to.
As you know I did this for 3 months, but I did the calorie restricted version, 700K/cal per day. There are a few versions of this diet you don't need to restrict calories to that level.
I felt very good on the diet, lots of gut issues cleared up. My son hated it.
I missed the fruit a lot, the carbs from pasta, bread etc not so much.
People should research this diet themselves before dismissing it outright especially after what MSKCC have discovered about cancer metabolism, they are also looking at Metformin, which acts in a similar way.
The video should be compulsary for every cancer patient. Im thinking very seriously about doing it again as a lifestyle change. Sugar is poison, ther are many experts who believe that, it's a drug we need to kick, or at least control.
Maybe just low carb is enough.
Mar 11, 2013 - 6:24 pm
your link is sensational, you have been hammered here, i on the other hand have the protection of some tumour cells.
the best 3 videos i have watched and for school kids. the sugar stuff, the gbm profiling and the vaccine stuff amazing.
we are here fighting for our lives, and kids get these lectures.
only in america.
ps keeping the language positive
I have used the term dietary energy reduction to describe those therapies that use reduced dietary energy intake to treat cancer. This term is more appealing than the terms calorie restriction or dietary restriction. While these terms might be acceptable when discussing treatments for animal cancers, they are less appropriate in discussions for treating human cancer patients. Humans, and especially cancer patients, do want restrictions. These people are already suffering enough form their disease. The word "restriction" connotes a negative approach to their treatment. Even the term dietary energy reduction has a negative connotation. What would be a better term to convey a more positive approach to cancer management than terms involving food reduction or restriction? I suggest we consider the term mitochondrial enhancement therapy (MET) to denote this cancer therapeutic strategy in humans. Indeed, the transition from glucose metabolism to ketone metabolism will reduce tissue inflammation and ROS, while enhancing the metabolic efficiency of the mitochondria.

Pete, I am SO glad you posted this! I have been doing research ever since Jason's diagnosis & even though just about every site you go to tells you in black & white that sugar is what cancer cells LOVE, the books, pamphlets, etc. that we got from the hospital & dr's office all say to eat ice-cream, milkshakes, basically anything & everything whether it's loaded with sugar or not. I mean I understand that if the person doesn't feel like eating, & they 'will' eat ice-cream & stuff like that, sure they need to eat whatever they 'can' eat....but, when they are able to eat most anything then WHY would you want to put sugar in your body if you know that the cancer cells are gonna have a field day with it? Another thing I'm wondering about, I looked & looked for Jason protein drinks (like Ensure) that aren't loaded with sugar (like Ensure....) & I found a great one (I think?)....it's called Eas Myoplex. They are basically for body builders but they each contain 42 grams of protein (for 17 oz.), 300 calories, & only 1 gram of sugar. The only thing I'm worried about is just 1 serving has a LOT of vitamims & minerals....40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, & 100% of your daily needs, & since I've read that too many vitamins are as bad as not enough, I'm afraid to let him drink more than 2 a day. I would love to hear from anyone who knows about this kind of stuff. I'm planning on taking the nutritional information to his oncologist Wednesday to see what he thinks but I'm afraid he's gonna tell me to just get Ensure....and I'm not comfortable doing that, not with all the sugar.

the issue with some proteins is they might have iron or copper, ideally we get most of our nutrition from healthy whole food, which is impossible post op and with folfox, so try and find a really good compassionate naturopath to give some one on one guidance. i have been to heaps, they all offer dvice, at this point what you need is basic support most naturopaths can provide. dont get suckered into buying lots of expensive supplements, the basics are more important.
watch the videos. did you ? get jason to ? i would be interested in your opinion ceo of msk versus the oncs ?
who you gonna trust ? i made my decision.
goodluck with yours

"WHY would you want to put sugar in your body if you know that the cancer cells are gonna have a field day with it?"
The answer is simple……
Cancer cells live by the fermentation process, and that requires a lot of glucose. All our good cells also need glucose to suvive.
Cancer cells can not hear instructions from the body that would tell the cancer cell to behave, so the cancer cells use as much glucose as the can, without restrictions.
Good cells can hear the body's instructions, and only use what glucose they need for energy and survival.
The cancer cells actually steal the glucose away from good cells, in their little lawless life…..
So trying to starve cancer cells by withholding glucose, is useless. You will starve good cells first, while the cancer cells continue to steal away any glucose available.
Starving good cells will lead to a rapid decline in energy, weight, and life from good cells, while the cancer cells continue to flourish. The immune system rapidly suffers without the needed energy.
So, if you want to help cancer cells take over, just withhold needed glucose from your diet!
People should stop reading the hyperbole from the alternative industry, they have become as crooked as the rest of the medical industry. They pay for "studies" and publish what they want without restriction, living just like the cancer they say they are fighting.
Eat a well-rounded diet and as much as you can, if you want to fight the cancer within. Your body needs the extra energy to do battle; starving it is not a good idea.
Best hopes for your better health,

answer is not 'simple'...
"We have demonstrated that in human and mouse cancer cell lines, activated Akt directs a direct conversion of metabolic control to aerobic glycolysis (the Warburg effect). This conversion addicts cells to glucose and renders them sensitive to any agent that inhibits glucose uptake or glucose catabolism"
Craig B. Thompson, MD CEO MSKCC
"Watson explained that this demonstrates how scientists can work toward stopping cancer by decreasing insulin levels and glycolysis with this diabetes treatment."
Professor James Watson Nobel prize winner.
"So, if you want to help cancer cells take over, just withhold needed glucose from your diet!"... John23
Are you saying then to KILL cancer just eat sugar?
No one is saying stopping sugar "cures" cancer...just to be absolutley clear.

john and marie and tony,
thank you for your opinions ( you make some good points ), they are motivated by care and compassion as mine are, as I believe most of us here are.
We have had different journeys and we end up here talking and sharing. The goal of these discussions, I want even use debate is simply raise awareness, that ultimately our health is in our own hands.
Now exercise is recommended on CSN ( years after I started pushing it ), did we all start walking NO. Did ONC start recommending it ? NO
Our health has to come from within, not without. The best we can do is heal ourselves, doing so in public is an worthwhile goal, it proves much the same.
Did exercise stop my recurrence NO, did it help me be the healthiest colorectal stage 4 on the planet, maybe yes.
Driving our biologies, driving our spirits simply my way of attempting to survive. We each live our life our ways, thats our right, its the way it should be.
Our MEDICAL SYSTEM steal hope, fellow patients who keep that HOPE surpressed with stories of misery, repeated add infinitum does not help those patients seeking HOPE, those patients seeking cure.
cancer starves our souls of hope, I meet so many people with cancer, I look into their eyes and I see fear.
they look at me and I wonder. My CEA was 12 today, it could be RECURRENCE again, it could be a REMOVAB spike. Next month I get GAMMA DELTA immune cells the most aggressive immunotherapy, if its needed. Time will tell. Today is great, this discussion is great and I hope we are all smiling.
I got to go and workout and the coffee has cooled.
PS I respect Marie and John views, if they want to read the research we have provided they can, they may not want or need to. I wont argue john points sentence for sentence. I am glad Tony made a few comments. encouraging peace not division where I am at.
PPS I will do the full ketongic diet and all the tests. I will blog it properly, like the immunotherapies. If it helps me, it may serve as an example for others. If I fail I was wrong about SUGAR, but ketogenic is not THE CURE, but it helps. Why is having a hardcore diet that miht save your life for 3 months so challenging. We know what the status quo offers, we know what ketogenic offers ?

"Are you saying then to KILL cancer just eat sugar?"
No, I didn't say that. You quoted what I said:
"So, if you want to help cancer cells take over, just withhold needed glucose from your diet!"
Our body needs as much glucose as it can use, to provide the energy it needs for survival. During times of stress or illness, our body requires more glucose, not less. No, not donuts and chocolate covered cherries, but good food that contains glucose.
When one avoids providing the body of what it needs to survive, the body will suffer. Meanwhile, the cancer cells will take what they need, growing and festering inside a body that is intentionally being depleted of what it needs for it's survival.
I much prefer to work –with- mother nature, than fight against her,
(some related reading material)
Cancer is not a complicated life-form; anything can kill a cancer cell. The problem is in the targeting of the cancer cell, not in the devices or chemicals used to kill it.
The best, most natural way to target and destroy the cancer cell, is with our own immune system, but we do not help our immune system do that by withholding what it needs and requires for it's own survival. (Yes…… it is that simple.)
Common sense should always prevail, not recited industrial hype.
I sincerely wish everyone the very best of health!
Mar 12, 2013 - 9:32 am
Dear Kris,
My sister is in treatment for stage 4 uterine cancer. Her onc told her to use Glucerna because she is border line diabetic.
He told her that if she didn't feel like eating she could have up to 5 per day, and that adding ice cream to make it a milk shake was good. Reason? Because one of the things that happens with cancer and with treatments is that the patient looses weight. Keeping up the weight helps keep up the stamina to get thru. After my own surgery, I was told to use Boost Plus to get in as much protein as possible to aid healing.
I agree with John23's assessment below. Cancer cells take first and whatever is left goes to the good cells. If it were otherwise, we could eliminate/kill off cancer just by eliminating sugar.
By all means, check all this out with his doctor, but don't be surprised if the recommendation remains the same.
Marie who loves kitties
Mar 12, 2013 - 9:48 am
Kris - I bet Jason will soon get his appetite back. My husband lost a lot in the beginning, but has gained it all back. Between the tumor shrinking from the chemo, plus the appetite he got from the steroid....well, he gained it all back and then some! While he was losing too much, the dietician suggested adding oil to his foods like soups, sauces, etc for the extra calories. Lots of people also claim that mashed potatoes go down easy - you can add oil to that too.
Mar 12, 2013 - 1:30 pm
Nothing tasted very good and I had a lot of nausea. My husband made them with full-fat ice cream and milk, and fresh fruit (and "lots of love", as he would say). I was down to a size 2 at that point. Let's just say that now, 3 1/2 years later, I am still a size 2...plus 10. You can add protein powder to shakes too. I was able to eat those with no trouble, and they gave me a little boost of much needed energy. AA
Mar 13, 2013 - 4:29 am
I know when I first started chemo, I had to eat what I wanted to eat. If a donut sounded good, I had to have a donut. I have now leveled off (7th tx done) and not having such cravings, but if I hadn't eaten what/when I wanted, I would never have put back on the 13-15 pounds I lost in the hospital. My first chemo tx I was 101 lbs. I panicked!
Mar 12, 2013 - 3:33 am
Nice presentation; informative. Fasting is the key; elevation of Ketone works magic
But does not ketones lead to ketonosis and are very dangerous? (i'm no scientist)
Mar 12, 2013 - 5:19 am
for watching the 5 minutes of my precious life i invested to post these is worth, i have helped one friend here.
ketosis may have some risks, but i got a few troublesome cells.
i wonder if anyone here will try this diet with me, i would love to share the experiences as we go along on this crazy experiment together that we call life.
its an invitation and NOT an order or a request even. is an invitation like this allowed here on csn ?
if i say i want to try ketogenic, the onc will say OK if you must!
they want be happy but they wont say NO, in their heart they will know you ARE so special, that you want to live more than all their other patients,
i get VIP treatment from all the doctors because they know i put 1000% effort in this game of survival.
if anyone asks their onc about ketogenic i would be very curious.
sander, thanks for taking the time to watch, maybe your example will motivate some others curiousity.

I have been on a ketogenic diet for 2 months now. I did a lot of research into diets and cancer and this one seemed to make the most sense. (I was looking at all the various diets as a biochemist).
Its the hardest diet I was ever on. It was fine for the first 2 weeks, but eventually eating high fat medium protein and virtually no carbs gets to you.
I did achieve a significant reduction in glucose levels. During the diet I did achieve stable disease, but no reduction. I was also on folfiri at the time. Basically I don't know whether the stable disease is due to the chemo or the diet. I do have multi drug resistant cancer, so most chemo has not worked well for me. Only way to tell is stop chemo for a month and note growth.
Mar 12, 2013 - 1:00 pm
as someone with a background in medieval history. People got cancer in the Middle Ages. Yet they had very little access to sugar, except in the form of honey and fruit (and even that was pretty limited, if not non-existent, in the diet of the lower classes). I think a healthy diet is kind of a no brainer, but if people need to gain weight and increase appetite, then carrots probably aren't going to cut it. And I'll never forget the story I read about the very young woman who gave up all sugar in the last months of her life as she was dying of cancer. Her mom commented on how much her daughter missed her little treats, which kind of broke my heart. I guess I just feel that, like cancer itself, all of this is very complicated, and there is still no one right answer out there. Share information, but be supportive of what others choose while you do it. AA
Mar 12, 2013 - 1:12 pm
there seems to be a confusion on sugar causing cancer and sugar fueling cancer. I don't believe sugar causes cancer.
The idea of sugar (glucose) fueling cancer seems to me proven beyond doubt.
And if you are in the last months of your life,...have the cookie....
Mar 12, 2013 - 1:47 pm
"The idea of sugar (glucose) fueling cancer seems to me proven beyond doubt."
So to save gasoline consumption with a vehicle that's running poorly, don't continue to put gas in the tank?
Won't that cause the vehicle to eventually run out of gas where you least expect to?
Is the highway of life really that confusing? Should it be?
Keep your sense of humor, it's the least expensive way to stay healthy!

I can let Harvard convince you, but probably not eh?
TBH it's quite clear to me, and you won't be converting me with your opinion. Lets leave it at that.
I have a great sense of humour and as dark as coal.
"Recent studies have shown that colorectal cancer survivors whose diet and activity patterns lead to excess amounts of insulin in the blood have a higher risk of cancer recurrence and death from the disease. High insulin levels can be produced by eating too many starchy and sugar-laden foods"
It's also funny we are having the same argument on 2 different forums at the same time.<*** src="/sites/all/libraries/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/***/smiley-tongue-out****" alt="Tongue Out" title="Tongue Out" border="0" />

"Although the results point to a potential hazard of a high-carbohydrate diet for colon cancer patients, the take-home message is not a conclusive "Eat less sugar,"
said lead author Jeffrey Meyerhardt, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS). "Our study certainly supports the idea that diet can impact the progression of colon cancer, and that patients and their doctors should consider this when making post-treatment plans.
But further research is needed to confirm our findings."
(From: http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2012/11/insulin-and-colon-cancer-linked/)
So unconfirmed findings are the rule? We should lead our lives and hope for survival based on hypotheticals?
A good, well-rounded diet is something I have always believed in (as well as most of the medical world); our body was designed to be fueled by different foodstuff, and the bulk of it will contain nutrients, vitamins and items that our body's processing needs for it's survival.
I do not believe that fasting, or eliminating (natural) foods from the diet based on some hypothetical notion, is a healthy thing to do. Our body needs an assortment of foodstuff: meats, vegetables, fruit, fish, foul, etc., to survive. Many foods provide an abundance of glucose, and glucose is what our cells need to survive. We should not be attempting to eliminate what our body requires for survival.
Healthy thoughts and wishes,
Mar 12, 2013 - 3:06 pm
I think the idea is to eliminate sugar or limit is such as sugar laden soft drinks candy deserts which offer nothing but empty calories. Also processed simple cabs such as white bread white pasta an white rice which again offers little or no nutritional value that our bodies can benefit from. I make I watch the number of carbs I eat per meal and that they are whole grain.
Mar 12, 2013 - 3:17 pm
and most processed food are NOT natural John
you want to pick and choose from that study? fine.
"Meyerhardt and his colleagues found that those with a typical "Western" diet — marked by high intakes of meat, fat, refined grains, and sugar desserts — were three times more likely to have a cancer recurrence than those whose diets were least Western"
"further research is needed", yes if this were the ONLY study linking these...but it ain't...
All Im doing is pointing out what the latest research has found, y'all can take it or leave it.
"We should lead our lives and hope for survival based on hypotheticals?" most stuff about TCM is not double blind randomised placebo controlled is it John? but it didn't stop you taking a gamble.

but it was dark and 85%.
the wine glass is 50% full
no the wine glass is 50% empty.
we will never agree on the level , it depends on our persepctive.
we are friends, lets agree to disagree as always happens amongst passionate independent thinkers.
not many sheep in this paddock.
i say lets just have a drink.
ps the wine glass is full of water, alas. a year of ned and i will have a glass of red and not before. next week we can discuss alcohol and the liver and the p53 suppressor gene and ethanol, or then again maybe not.
pps do whatever you want, listen to whoever you want and enjoy your life. cheers.
the lovely waitress tonight said would you like some sugar with your coffee, i said nothankyou i am sweet enough already!
pps seriously consider this, this discussion is happening in the bar at the asco conference, some onc for, some onc against.
if you like to gamble and don't have a sweet tooth then its simple, otherwise, i say goto the dentist and have the sweet tooth extracted.
you can always put the tooth back after you have defeated cancer.! i am glad your TCM gamble worked John, let us gamble on sugar in peace.

I don't believe my diet caused my cancer as I know that I eat as healthy or more healthy than my brother and sister and we grew up eating the exact same food yet they are both cancer free. They both recently had colonoscopies and they were completely clean. I obviously had some mutations in my cells that caused my cancer and I don't believe they were diet related. That still doesn't mean that I don't believe diet can have an effect on cancer cells. Also I had no family history of colon cancer yet got stage 4 cMRC at age 45 so I didn't even make minimum age for routine screening. I also saw my doctor within a couple of months of the first symptoms.
Mar 12, 2013 - 7:17 pm
the difference i believe my diet and excess weight a factor.
the point of the discussion, is which way forward. ketogenic diet, the MET strategy what i am trying, i am seeking support for my effort, nt argument.
not one sweet tooth has said, gee pete goodluck, you are wasting your time, but good luck.
at least thats positive.
to argue and ignore the science, well thats pretty sad. and thats whats happening.
has anyone else watched the msk video ?
Mar 12, 2013 - 8:40 pm
Good luck and I think the diet can't hurt and may very well help. Ill likely be on it while at hallwang and if all goes well I may very well incorporate it when I get hobaby. By the way I am a sweet tooth....
Mar 12, 2013 - 9:56 pm
First, this is quite a discussion, and secondly, I have not watched the video. Perhaps someone can tell me when the cancer patient is a diabetic who eats no sugar, very low carb diet, lots of vegetables, mostly fish & chicken, then why does the cancer continue to grow at an agressive rate. In this diet, there is no sugar to "feed" the cancer. I know there is no definitive answer as to why one person will have cancer and the next one not. So maybe my question is also one of those unanswerable ones. I've seen so many who live a healthy lifestyle, eating what is assumed to be a healthy(no sugar-low carb) diet, who get cancer anyway.
This part is for Gizzy---Being a diabetic, my husbands nutrition comes from Glucerna 1.5(no sugar). Each 8 oz. can has 356 calories and 19.6 g. of protein. Patient can drink it or can be used in feeding tube(as my hubby does). It only comes in Vanilla. Hubby says it doesn't taste good, but at this point, nothing tastes good with his type of cancer. Marie's suggestion of Glucerna(in the shake form) probably tastes better, has less calories & 6 g. of sugar.
Okay Pete, Tony, & John, what do you think? You guys know a lot more about the researching than I do.
Mar 13, 2013 - 4:32 am
There is glucose in almost everything we eat, our bodies convert carbs. to glucose. Refined white sugar has no nutritional value and it increases the free glucose.
Diabetics who take Metformin live longer and have lower cancer rates than diabetics that take other drugs.
Metformin seems to stop the uptake better than other drugs, also acts on AKT/Mtor, kills stem cells and a load of other stuff.
This whole thing is not simple.
Stopping white sugar or taking Metformin will not 'cure' you of cancer, just another tool to be used.
Mar 12, 2013 - 9:37 pm
Pete, while you believe this thread is saving lives, others of us feel first off, that it won't save a single life, but also that it would cost lives, people deciding they can't drink Ensure or milkshakes because of the sugar content, when they most likely NEED these things to keep their bodies strong enough to fight the cancer. Therefore, then some will feel the need to speak up and voice their descension.
Descending voices are needed at times to keep things in prospective, when you choose to DENY the opposite or opposing opinion then you take on "MY WAY IS THE ONLY RIGHT WAY", which sounds rather egotistical and perhaps narcissistic.
While your posts are appreciated I'm sure, they are not the only way, and sometimes not the right way. And we are a group of many with diverse beliefs, we will read threads and we will comment on them, that's why there's a comment button. And lively discussions ensue.

The Mayo Clinic with the latest research said Sugar does not cause cancer but eating a diet rich in healthy proteins, fruits, vegetables, healthy grains is part of the cancer prevention diet. I concur with those who have tried to refute dangerous extremes.
Mar 12, 2013 - 10:54 pm
I don't eat processed sugar all the time, but at least a couple of times a week, I treat myself to candy or a cocktail made with simple syrup. I eat mostly healthy, but don't worry about a little sugar now and then. I've also been NED for 16 months now. I wish you well in your quest, Pete, but you are really not being at all cool toward the rest of us in the process. You seem inclined to name call and accuse if you don't get complete agreement and perhaps even a certain degree of hero worship in response. John has every right to post here, as do you. Threads are the property of CSN, not individual users, so we can all post on any threads as we like (provided we follow the TOS, which John certainly has...I would say some of your behavior, especially linking to CSN on your blog, may actually be against those terms of service, quite honestly). I wish you well in your quest for health, Pete, but for myself, I think I will no longer be commenting on your posts. Things have been going in the wrong direction (in terms of how you interact with people here) for awhile now, and it makes me very uncomfortable. But I do very much hope that all you are trying proves successful for you. AA
Mar 13, 2013 - 12:48 am
For four of the months I was in treatment, I was unable to eat anything. Everything I tried to eat came back up. The clinical dietitian who was working with me was trying desperately to get some kind of nutrition into my body. I lost 50 pounds and became dehydrated many times. The only thing that I was able to tolerate was Ensure Plus. I knew it had sugar in it but it also had the nutrients my body needed to fight the cancer and not starve to death while going through chemo. Once I started drinking that, I was able to maintain my weight and not lose more. I didn't have a choice and would do it again if I had to (hopefully, it won't happen again).
Mar 13, 2013 - 3:10 am
I applaud Pete for being soooo proactive and soooo willing to try new things to help himself. It really IS nice that he shares everything with us and like someone said here...if you see the title of the post by him or anyone and you do not like it, just move on without opening it......
Anyway, the debate about sugar and no sugar or carbs and no carbs, etc...
I truly believe that everyone handles it different. I really think that you could take 2 people with stage 4 colon cancer, same type of resection, same chemo, cancer in the same amount of lymph nodes, same amount, sizes, and spots on liver ........same bloodwork. Same everything....same age....they are the same sex too!
These 2 people eat the same exact thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner every single day and they each each 5 dunuts in the evening and go to bed. They both do the same exercise program and they both sleep 8 hours and they both work all day on the computer. They have identical lives!! They do this for a year straight.
How much ya want to bet they each have a different outcome? Everyone's body/immune system, dna is just sooooo different. Maybe that's why we can just try, try, try different things to see what works the best for us or our loved ones. It's so nice to also support everyone here no matter what they believe in :)
Prayers for everyone.....
Mar 13, 2013 - 3:23 am
When someone posts something as fact which is in doubt still, then one cannot just close their eyes to it and "move on", disinformation can hurt if it is not spoken up about, putting the blinders on and moving over to a topic that is correct or one you agree with, and ignoring the false or misleading information can cause others to believe EVERYONE is in accordance to what has been said because no one objected, therefore, the old "Hey don't look here if you don't like what I post" is something that should not and will not happen. You cannot support disinformation, cannot support the downing of my nation (I can't at least) or my oncologist, or call me a sheep without some sort of feedback.

Why are you calling the post or any post disinformation?
Mar 13, 2013 - 6:20 am
There has been disinformation, a purple juice that will cure you, a diet alone that will cure you, just juicing will cure you (please note I said JUST juicing, not juicing in addition to other things)It is up to you to choose which one of the many YEARS this forum has been around what disinformation post you wish to go back on. I'm speaking in generalities, not discussing this original post, we've been off subject for quite a few posts now on THIS post, so going back to it seems eons ago by now). We are fallible not infallible, what may have been main stream fact at one time, may now be something that doesn't work, they come up with new chemos, new surgeries etc. Do you see? Most disinformation isn't done on purpose here, it just happens sometimes, or sometimes it's just misinformation perhaps being a better word. And sometimes we have differences of opinions, but that doesn't mean we need to keep them to ourselves, discourse, when done civilly it good.

Mar 13, 2013 - 4:17 am
trouble at mill...
well this why I didn't post the original info here, turned into something nasty (yet again)
If the study from Harvard/Faber doesn't convince you then fine have your cake and eat it.
If you are on the fence, research more on sugar/glucose cancer relationship.
If you are on chemo and your Onc. says 'more calories needed' have them (although I would go for protein shake personally)
If you believe refined sugar is natural and harmless you are entitled to that belief.
"The study involved 1,011 stage III colon cancer patients who had undergone surgery."
"They found that participants with the highest dietary levels of glycemic load and carbohydrate intake had an 80 percent increased risk of colon cancer recurrence or death compared with those who had the lowest levels"
If your wating for your Onc. to confirm the findings above, it will take around 5 years for others to duplicate and publish.
It's not just one study though there are many more.
Mar 13, 2013 - 8:34 am
Question is:how do you determine credibility of source? Has what you have read/learned since DX changed anything in your life
Mar 13, 2013 - 4:07 pm
I don't think a single person on this forum thinks that eating gobs of processed crap is good for you. From the comments I've read, we all think that having a healthy diet is one of several useful tools in this fight (I believe you used that word, Tony). I think the argument arises when people say you can "cure" your cancer by not eating sugar (or going on some other diet, ketone or otherwise), or when people discourage newbies from doing what they feel they need to do to get some calories, under incredibly difficult circumstances. I'm not even sure what the heck we're arguing about, really...sometimes I feel that people just enjoy stirring the pot for the sake of creating conflict. AA
Mar 13, 2013 - 10:14 am
Have just spent a good chunk of mooring ng reading the above and the links as seems ainteresting thread. My own opinion is that diet is undoubtably linked to colorectal cancer but threlationships is complex and sugar certainly isn't the be all and end all of the cause or cure.Personally I choose to follow a basic balanced diet and include sugar as I wish but respect those whochoose differently. Will leave my opinion there.
As for the debate above, that is what this board is about: healthy sharing of informationand diverse opinion. No one has the right to stifle other opinions in any thread as long as they are expressed respectfully. Balanced information is what allows people to make their own informed decisions. Long may this continue here but with ahealthy dose of polite respect for all. The key is to share information and allow others to decide on it not to try and convert each other.
Healthy debate and support is core tthesis forum. Long may it continue,

Second woman says mystic raped her after 'cleansing'
A second woman has come forward to accuse a San Clemente spiritual cleanser of rape during a motel-room ritual that involved raw eggs and drinking glasses.
The District Attorney's Office filed additional counts of forcible rape, forcible oral copulation and attempted forcible oral copulation against Alberto Flores Ramirez, 37. A judge also increased his bail tenfold, to $1 million, during a hearing Friday.
Court records show that Ramirez has pleaded not guilty to the charges, although they also show that another hearing is scheduled for him to enter a plea later this month. His attorney did not return a phone call seeking comment.
Prosecutors say Ramirez met both women online and lured them to a Santa Ana motel by offering to cleanse their spirits. His ritual apparently involved raw eggs, drinking glasses and, in one case, ammonia, Deputy District Attorney Whitney Bokosky said.
The most recent woman to come forward said she took a bus from Las Vegas to meet with Ramirez in the hope that his cleansing would help her love life, according to the District Attorney's Office.
During the ritual, the woman says Ramirez poured ammonia on her head, making her dizzy and disoriented. She said he then sexually assaulted her.
She did not contact police until she saw news coverage of Ramirez' arrest last month.
Prosecutors accused Ramirez in that case of meeting a 33-year-old woman online and offering to perform a spiritual cleaning. He took her to the same Santa Ana motel, told her to undress, then rubbed raw eggs on her and put them in glasses, prosecutors said.
When the woman tried to cover herself with a bed comforter, the District Attorney's Office says Ramirez assaulted her. Prosecutors charged him last month with forcible rape, forcible oral copulation and sexual penetration by a foreign object by force.
Authorities are concerned that there could be additional victims, Bokosky said.
The District Attorney's Office asked that anyone with more information, or who believes they were a victim, call investigators at 714-347-8794 or Santa Ana detectives at 714-245-8379.

text: My daughter and I went to Kenwood Towne Centre in Cincinnati, OH on May 10, 2012 and we were shopping around and my daughter FINALLY told me she was hungry and I asked her what she wanted and she said, "Chick-fil-A" and of course I said yes :) \n\nI want to thank you from the bottom on my heart for the unbelievable love and support your restaurants have provided my family over the last five years since my son Grier was diagnosed with cancer. \n\nGrier, who is now eight years old, was about to undergo an intense, special radiation treatment at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). The morning of his treatment, I posted on my Facebook wall that I was stressed out and could really use a Chick-fil-A Sweet Tea to calm my nerves.\n\nOne of my good friends, Renee, saw my post and called up the Chick-fil-A restaurant at Liberty Place in Philadelphia to ask if they would surprise me by delivering my favorite beverage to the hospital. \n\nNot only did the local Chick-fil-A employees show up with Sweet Tea, but they also brought with them 50 Chick-fil-A Sandwiches, lots of little Cows, PEZ dispensers and other fun treats to hand out to the doctors, nurses, families and children on the entire pediatric cancer floor at CHOP. \n\nThrough the years, we have experienced such sincere encouragement and support from the teams at the restaurant in Southpark Mall and the Cotswold Chick-fil-A restaurant in Charlotte, N.C., both of which have helped us to raise money for Cookies™ for Kids' Cancer, a nonprofit that supports the development of new and better treatments for cancer. To then receive such generosity from the Philadelphia restaurant, which we had never visited, was more than we could have ever expected or asked for. Thank you so much!\n

By Richard Cizik.Last week, a Sikh American resident from the Chicago suburbs was brutally assaulted by a random stranger. The perpetrator told the man, "Terrorist, go back to your country, Bin Laden!" before the victim fell unconscious. This innocent individual—a member of his local community and a father of two—was identified with terrorists, and bigotry was used to justify a horrific beating. The origin of the word "bigot" dates as far back as 1598. According to Wikipedia, the story … [Read more...]
Dangers of Legitimizing Bigotry
"Real" Islam and the Secular State
By Mark E. Gammon. In his address to the nation on Wednesday night, President Obama laid out a strategy for dealing with the Islamic State (ISIS, or, alternatively, ISIL) that was predicated on two basic propositions. As many Twitter users put it succinctly: "The Islamic State is neither Islamic nor a state." Both of these assumptions are open to debate, but for those with more than a passing interest in religious ethics, the first deserves special scrutiny. The president of course was echoing … [Read more...]
Narendra Modi and the Dawoodi Bohras: A Relationship of Profound Ambivalence
By Abdeali Ujjainwalla. Former Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's ascendency to Prime Ministership in India has re-ignited the debate among the Dawoodi Bohras who are overwhelmingly Gujarati either as resident in the state, or resident elsewhere but with ancestral roots to the state. While most discussion tend to revolve around the 2002 Gujarat carnage where many Bohras were victims of violence and Modi was accused of abetting the violence, this brief article focuses instead more on the pr … [Read more...]
Airing Dirty Linen in Public: A Critical Riposte to Hamza and Poonawalla
By Abdeali UjjainwallaI refer to Shireen Hamza's piece on 5 March 2013, and Aziz Poonawalla's response on 7 March 2014. As I know neither Shireen nor Aziz, my riposte to both of them is a dispassionate one. I am however a Dawoodi Bohra follower of Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin Saheb. I would also like to think that I am as intellectual as Aziz with a doctorate in political science, and slightly older than Shireen being in my early 30s. I come from a generation of Dawoodi Bohras who are both at on … [Read more...]
Schism among the Dawoodi Bohras
By Shireen HamzaA schism has occurred in my religious community. Of the many reasons I could have imagined a Muslim, American college student might find herself socially boycotted by some of her Muslim peers, this was not one of them. In the past two weeks, my grief over the loss of my religious leader, Dr. Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin, was compounded by the loss of most of my childhood friends, and all of my classmates from the seminary I used to attend (Al-Jamea-tus-Saifiya).

Using the above-mentioned approach, this dissertation investigates the following hypotheses: (I) native speakers of British English prefer indirect requesting strategies; (II) Danes and Russians favour direct requesting strategies in their mother tongue; (III) Danes and Russians transfer direct requesting strategies from their mother tongue to English; (IV) British, Danish, and Russian speakers prefer interrogative sentence structures with the situations where the speaker and hearer do not 'share the same world'. Cross-cultural data consisting of the Trolley (Permission), the Window (Prohibition), and the Library (Impossibility) situations has been collected through role play from Danish, Russian, and English speakers (control group) at Carlsberg, and consists of both English Lingua Franca Data and Mother Tongue Data. The analysis of these three situations partially provided support for hypothesis I with the native speakers of English and II with the Russians though not with the Danes. By construing requests in terms of a 'problem-solving' activity, I found that almost half of the British English speakers 'solved the problem' straightaway by using the imperative sentence structure in the Trolley situation, e.g. Put your luggage on the trolley! Yet, among the three groups, the British English speakers were the only group who employed interrogatives most often. Both the Russian and Danish speakers preferred to solve the problem by offering their 'best bid for a solution of a problem' in the form of the declarative sentence structure in English, like.g. You can put your luggage on the trolley, whereas they preferred other ways of solving the problem in their native languages: the Russian mother tongue speakers overwhelmingly solved the problem on the spot with the help of the imperative form as in Stav'te svoi vešči na moju teležku! for 'Put (IPFV) your belongings on my trolley!', and the Danish mother tongue speakers mostly chose to solve the problem by 'stating' it, which is done with the hlp of the interrogative sentence structure, like Skal jeg ikke lige smide den med på min vogn ? for 'Don't you want me to throw it on my trolley?'. Hypothesis III was also partially confirmed with the Russians, who appeared to transfer the imperative sentence structure from Russian to Russian English in the Trolley and the Library situations. In addition, due to the original view on directives as trichotomous entities, it was possible to discover covert influence of Russian aspect and transfer of the imperative mood in Russian to Russian English. The analysis did not reveal any direct transfers of syntactic structures from Danish to Danish English. Finally, hypothesis IV was completely confirmed since the British, Danish, and Russian respondents largely preferred the interrogative sentence form with the Library situation. Even though the present study has analysed only a small sample, the findings for direct and subtle transfers from a mother tongue to English as a Lingua Franca can prove instrumental in improving global communication, say, in the form of developing teaching material for cross-cultural business organisations that use English as medium of communication. 2016-08-22T00:00:00Z Danish Stød and Automatic Speech Recognition Kirkedal, Andreas Søeborg http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9336 2016-08-16T09:59:51Z 2016-08-16T00:00:00Z Danish Stød and Automatic Speech Recognition Kirkedal, Andreas Søeborg Stød is a prosodic feature in Danish spoken language that is able to distinguish lexemes. This distinction can also identify word class and has the potential to improve the performance of automatic speech recognisers for Danish spoken language. Stød manifestation exhibits a large amount of variability and may be perceptual in nature, because stød in some cases can be audibly perceived yet not be visible in a spectrogram. The variability is the primary reason there is currently no agreed upon acoustic or phonetic definition of stød. The working definition of stød is ". . . a kind of creaky voice" (Grønnum, 2005) and "stød is not just creak" (Hansen, 2015). In the present work, we investigate whether stød can be exploited in automatic speech recognition. To exploit stød without an acoustic or phonetic definition, we need to use a (almost) zero-knowledge datadriven approach which is based on a number of assumptions that we investigate prior to conducting ASR experimentation. We assume that stød can be detected in audio input, using acoustic features. To detect stød, we need to identify features that signal stød, which requires annotated data. To select the right features, the stød annotation must be reliable and accurate. We therefore conduct a reliability study of stød annotation with inter-annotator agreement measures, rank acoustic features for stød detection according to feature importance using a forest of randomised decision trees and experiment with stød detection as a binary and multi-class classification task. The experiments identify a set of features important or stød detection and confirms that we can detect stød in audio. Lastly, we model stød in automatic speech recognition and show that significant improvements in word error rate can be gained simply by annotating stød in the phonetic dictionary at the expense of decoding speed. Extending the acoustic feature vectors with pitch-related features and other features of voice quality also give significant performance improvement on both read-aloud speech and spontaneous speech. Decoding speed increases when we extend the acoustic feature vectors and actually improve decoding speed over the baseline where stød is not modelled. 2016-08-16T00:00:00Z The Constantly Contingent Sense of Belonging of the 1.5 Generation Undocumented Youth Christensen, Elizabeth Benedict http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9319 2016-06-27T09:26:26Z 2016-06-27T00:00:00Z The Constantly Contingent Sense of Belonging of the 1.5 Generation Undocumented Youth Christensen, Elizabeth Benedict In this dissertation, I qualitatively explore the everyday lived experiences of thirty-three 1.5 generation undocumented youth (1.5GUY) in the United States. Specifically, I examine how 1.5GUY experience and cope with sense of belonging (SofB) in their everyday lives in relation to their undocumented legal status (ULS). These youth, who have migrated at or before the age of twelve, have grown up and been socialized in the United States. Due to the Supreme Court Case, Plyler v. Doe (1982), primary and secondary (K- 12) educational access has been extended to all children, regardless of legal immigration status. Because the 1.5GUY have the opportunity to participate in everyday social, educational, and cultural life even despite their ULS, their experiences of belonging are relatively privileged in relation to their second generation undocumented contemporaries. However, their opportunity for participation parity is temporary, decreasing, and comes to an abrupt end during their transitions to adulthood, when the need for legal status becomes increasingly more salient in everyday life. In my exploratory and phenomenological study, I analyze narratives constructed through semistructured interviews with 1.5GUY and supplement this material with data from participant observation. In my examination, I focus on the relationship between ULS and SofB in everyday life, and especially the relationship between emotions, experiences, and performances. I analyze empirical material for the presence of emotions and experiences related to SofB, for example attachment, comfort, inclusion, participation, identification, safety, and community and conversely, insecurity, instability, uncertainty, doubt, compromised identity, and exclusion that may influence SofB. I am interested in the banalities of everyday scenarios—actions, interactions, and locations—that shape the 1.5GUY's SofB. To capture the dynamics and diversity of experiences, emotions, and coping strategies related to SofB, I incorporate theories of identity, recognition, and citizenship, and related concepts such as the right to the city, participation parity, and coming out. 2016-06-27T00:00:00Z Complex Business Negotiation Lindholst, Morten http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9198 2015-10-22T10:34:57Z 2015-10-22T00:00:00Z Complex Business Negotiation Lindholst, Morten Most scholars agree that engaging in preparation and planning is key to a negotiation's effectiveness but research has largely focused solely on what happens at the negotiation table, rather than in preparation for it. This thesis addresses the balance by clarifying which preparation and planning activities are undertaken to conduct a complex business negotiation. It examines not only what activities are conducted, but also by whom, and when. One important question for both practitioners and researchers alike is the extent to which practitioners follow the recommendations of what is an extensive and highly varied literature on negotiation preparation. A review of the literature enabled a comprehensive activity checklist to be developed which, coupled with a number of propositions about how preparation could be expected to be conducted, formed the foundation for the data collection and analysis. The bulk of research into negotiation uses data drawn from populations in experimental design settings. However, this study follows a qualitative research design, which has multiple sources of inquiry and which draws upon data grounded in a large global, industrial company and, thereby, contributes to the limited selection of negotiation research that is conducted outside of university settings. 2015-10-22T00:00:00Z

My SIL did that exact thing to me. She was so excited to offer, but got quiet fast. Then, she never said anything about it. So, my other friend offered and I took up on her offer. I would call your friend ans have a talk to clarify things. I feel I should have done it, but it wasn't worth it to me back then. Now, I think the right thing to do is to talk. I did invite SIL to my shower tho. She was too pissy to even bring a gift for baby and she was a total bitch to me, but I guess I deserved it. LOL...
Well where and when sounds like she's just checking what's convenient for you - maybe she's taking it from there? I would just call her to clarify. Also most likely she would check in with your approval on certain details... Good luck!
I agree with the PP that she's probably just trying to make sure that she gives you what you want. Maybe give her a few options of dates that will work for you and a general type of location where you'd like to do it (restaurant/someone's house/I don't know where else...) If you are really open to whatever she wants to do with the party, you can mention that to her too.
Something like "Any weekend will work except March 15th, but as for the details, I'm really laid back, so I'm sure I'll like whatever you want to do!"
Yeah, my mom and aunt are hosting my shower. But they let me pick the theme, location, food, etc. They are doing all the leg work though.

I like how many holiday collections usually involve more glam looks for going out to parties – smokey eyes and red lips & so on. And usually the packaging is fun, which is always a lovely bonus when it's a brand/product that you always like! Palettes, kits & etc can make great gifts for those on your list that love cosmetics and can sometimes offer deal, too.
I love that you can get an entire palette at an affordable price. I hate that sometimes I end up liking only one color in the entire palette.
I love all the colors you can get in one palette, but they're also hard to find an place for them in my bathroom as they're usually odd sizes. I also don't like the fact that many end up being inferior products from the normal line.
Same here KyaLyn! That's why I don't buy them anymore. I never use them because I find that the pigmentation is different (WAY INFERIOR TO THEIR REGULAR PRODUCTS). Also, I like to pick and choose individual colors that I like rather than ending up with a collection of colors I'll never use but that I got stuck buying a quad/quint/etc just to get 1 or 2 other colors that weren't sold separate.
In my opinion, palettes are a rip off.
I try to avoid the ones where I only like/need 1 or 2 colors. Its just not worth it and there's usually dupes out there somewhere as singles.
I'm a little OCD so the fact that they are different sizes really frustrates me.
I hate that most come with a laughable sized eyeshadow brush…come on now…am I really going to use that pathetic brush?
Oh Yeah! In my earlier post, I guess I forgot to mention the useless brushes/applicators that come with the palettes. I never use them.
Oh, I totally forgot about the brushes. Very useless. No control whatsoever on something that small.
Love and Hate. Love that they're super cute and affordable. Hate that they're reasonably priced at the time of year where I really CAN'T buy for myself.
I hate holiday collections, because it's nearly always the same. The packaging might be funkier or cooler, but thats not a purchase creteria. I like it simple, pure and clear.
I love that you can get 6 eyeshadows for a pretty good price. I usually go for the cool palettes, I have Royal Assets, and the cool pigments from this year. I love all of the colors. I have nothing bad to say about holiday collections.
I hate that they come out when I'm poor. I usually spend my extra school money before then 🙁
I like that they are usually glamorous with sparkle and very festive.
i love that u get a lot of bang for ur buck. but i always end up wanting everything and i have to narrow it down!
It depends on the brand whether I like the Holiday collections, or not. NARS, for instance, I like. You can pick and choose what you want from the collection. Palettes… well, in general, I don't really like them. Maybe a quad, but even then that's pushing it. There's always a color that I don't really like in them, and it feels like a waste. MAC's mini collections, though, are great. If I don't like the color (as long as it's only 1), I buy the set anyway, and give that one away.
I will not purchase any of MACS holiday palettes again after Royal Assets. The product they filled the 6 pans with were as poorly textured, as if I went to the drug store. I will not purchase the brush sets because they are also inferior. I like the pigments though! Its fun and more reasonable for me to get the smaller versions..
i like the collections, coz they are affordable and make good gfts..especially the value pack ones..
i don't like the palattes that have all lip color, blushes n e/s in tiny compartments…they just mess up later..many atimes one or two stuff is good, rest all is just not my taste….
I usually love holiday collections because they are, for the most part, things that I havent seen or have. But this year I was a little disappointed in MAC because they put out the same brush sets as last year; the lip glasses were mostly permanent colors; the lipsticks werent really exciting in my opinion. But I do love my Warm Pigment set and my Warm Pallet. Still on the fence about getting the Cool Eyes pallet.
The Dior Blue eye pallet is really beautiful but i cant afford it 🙁
I hate the fact that they jack up palette's price when economy is in a slump while the product itself remains the same or even less than before. I like the fact that palette is a good way of trying out colors from a brand I never thought about buying. Oh, I also hate how lots of high ends give out foam applicators again (and regular items too) – I'd rather have a mini hair brush.
I'm fairly pleased with the Holiday Collections this year. I bought from Chanel, Guerlain, Lancome, MAC, Fusion Beauty, Calvin Klein, Bare Escentuals and Estee Lauder, so I did pretty good !
I'm drawn to pretty packaging 😀
I haven't bought any holiday collections this year because of what so many other readers said — the quality is inferior. I thought about buying MAC Smokey Eyes, but I'd rather seek out similar permanent shadows even if the shades aren't exactly the same.
