Mass Effect 3 Content Headed To Final Fantasy XIII-2 – Report
Mass Effect 3's universe could be headed, in some small way, to Final Fantasy XIII-2, according to a report by Siliconera.
Following the Assassin's Creed costume that's set for Final Fantasy XIII-2, a source has reportedly revealed that Mass Effect will enjoy a similar crossover in Square Enix's RPG with a "specially designed Mass Effect costume".
Does that mean Commander Shepard and Ezio Auditore could be running around in the same game – and a Final Fantasy game at that?
Weirder things have happened. Probably. Do you want to see these types of cross-promotion between publishers, or ar you tired of cynical marketing ploys? Discuss below!

WHO said Arsenal were soft touches?
It was cold, the Gunners were north of Watford and they were down to 10 men.
A scenario which normally ends only one way for Arsene Wenger.
But, yesterday at the Stadium of Light, the Gunners dug in, fought and
scrapped for what could prove a massive three points in the race to finish
in the top four.
Ultimately, super Santi Cazorla's strike settled it.
But, after Carl Jenkinson was sent off for two yellows with 23 minutes left,
it could have gone all predictably Pete Tong.
For once, though, the Gunners showed terrific heart and character. Sunderland
threw everything at Wojciech Szczesny and Co — but ended up with zilch.
The Polish keeper was superb throughout.
When Laurent Koscielny went down with a calf strain before kick-off, Wenger's
best-laid plans went up in smoke.
Jenkinson came in, saw red but the performance of makeshift centre-back Bacary
Sagna and Szczesny epitomised everything which was good about the Arsenal.
Wenger admitted: "It was tight in the end. It was a game of high intensity
where we have shown some brilliance going forward but couldn't score the
second goal.
"We had to show another side, especially in the last 20 minutes when we were
down to 10 men. We were resilient and committed.
"We have been consistent away from home. You saw the team is up for a fight.
The defence was excellent."
Sunderland chief Martin O'Neill insisted: "We deserved more. They caused us a
lot of problems but we looked dangerous.
"We came roaring at them, I don't know how we didn't score. Their goalkeeper
was exceptional."
Watching Arsenal move the ball in the first half makes you wonder why Wenger's
men are so far off the title frontrunners.
Tiny terrors Cazorla, Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere and Mikel Arteta were all
superb in the first 45 minutes.
There were 70 seconds on the clock when livewire Walcott tested Simon Mignolet
for the first time and he was denied again two minutes later.
Olivier Giroud wasted the first of numerous decent openings by pulling wide on
17 minutes before Mignolet superbly kept out an Aaron Ramsey 25-yarder.
A goal was coming — and, on 35 minutes, the brilliant Cazorla delivered.
Sweet interchanges between Walcott and Wilshere sent the little Spaniard in
and his finish was low and clinical.
Wenger would have supped his half-time cuppa with a smile on his face. That
customary grimace of a man with all the troubles in the world soon returned,
First, Wilshere hobbled off just moments after the restart and it got even
worse when Jenkinson was sent off on 63 minutes.
He could have no complaints, a late tackle on Stephane Sessegnon following on
from a similarly poor challenge on Jack Colback in the first half adding up
to a deserved red.
Despite that, Walcott was inches away from making it two on 74 minutes.
Cazorla was the architect once again, slipping the England flier through but
his poke past Mignolet smacked the post.
Then came Szczcesny's late super show. First, he made a superb block as Per
Mertesacker's clearance smacked off Steven Fletcher.
His save on 84 minutes was even better, a brilliant flying tip-over to
frustrate Fletcher once again before Titus Bramble hacked wide from the
resulting corner.
And then, in stoppage time, the Pole ensured victory as he denied Adam

Rich Cimini (1:00 PM)
Hi, everybody. Thanks for pulling up a chair, so to speak, and joining the chat. Lots of topics to discuss in the locked-out, post-draft world of the Jets. Let's get started.
Mike (Boca Raton, FL)
Hey Rich,What do you hear about the felony charges against Kenrick Ellis? Is there an expected outcome? Any plea negotiations? Will he be available come training camp?Thanks!
Rich Cimini (1:04 PM)
All good questions, Mike. Obviously, the Jets wouldn't have picked him if they weren't confident of a favorable outcome, but as of right now, this is scheduled for a jury trial July 12 in Hampton Va. Circuit Court. Every man is innocent until proven guilty, although I've noticed some Judge Judy wannabes out there predicting he will be deemed not guilty because it was self defense. I prefer to let the legal process play out. He was indicted by a grand jury in March; evidently they found enough evidence to proceed to a trial.
Markus Farmer (Pittsburgh,PA)
If I had to choose a player on offense that the jets could really use would definitely be another WR or QB..reason why I say this is because the Jets don't seem to have that elite Quarterback just yet..and Sanchez is not one of them do you agree?
Rich Cimini (1:06 PM)
Dude, have you watched the Jets the last two Januarys? Sanchez is 4-2 in the playoffs. No, he hasn't reached the Super Bowl, but at least he's knocking on the door. A lot of good QBs don't even get within knocking distance.
Chris Fiegler (Latham,NY)
What did you think of the Jets selecting Alabama QB Greg McElroy in the 7th Round?
Rich Cimini (1:08 PM)
It was a good choice. I think he was projected to go as early as the 5th, so the Jets got good value. He has all the intangibles. The question is, is his arm good enough? We won't know until camp, whenever that is. To me, his arm looked decent, not overpowering.
Greg (North Jersey)
Is Steve Weatherford really not returning?
Rich Cimini (1:09 PM)
I'd say the chances of him returning are remote. I mean, they decided in early March not to give him an RFA tender; that was a pretty telling indication right there.
Evan (Farleigh Dickinson University )
We've been hearing a lot of Jets chatter surrounding big names, but not necessarily big talent anymore wide receivers, (Moss, Ochocinco, Owens). Is it a probability that the Jets would sign any of these WR's. Should we, as Jet fans, want them to sign any of these WR?
Rich Cimini (1:11 PM)
Personally, I think Moss and Ochocinco are done. Kaput. Moss isn't worth the aggravation. The Jets would be absolutely insane to sign him. Insane! Owens, I think, can still play. He's a handful, too, but he usually plays hard. I wouldn't rule him out if the Jets lose Edwards or Holmes.
Steve (Bilitzky)
What type of role do you expect Jeremy Kerley to have in the offense this coming season?
Rich Cimini (1:13 PM)
Excellent question, Steve. Wish I knew the answer. If I knew the WR depth chart, I could give an answer, but there are big question marks. He's a slot receiver, usually Cotchery's position. If J-Co is the 3 again, I could see Kerley as the 4. He's very quick and looks very fluid. Some scouts I trust tell me good things about him. He'll be your new Brad Smith, if the old Brad Smith leaves.
Rich Cimini (1:13 PM)
Excellent question, Steve. Wish I knew the answer. If I knew the WR depth chart, I could give an answer, but there are big question marks. He's a slot receiver, usually Cotchery's position. If J-Co is the 3 again, I could see Kerley as the 4. He's very quick and looks very fluid. Some scouts I trust tell me good things about him. He'll be your new Brad Smith, if the old Brad Smith leaves.
Steve (Flushing)
How serious are these assault charges against Kenrick Ellis? Is there a significant chance that he will be convicted?
Rich Cimini (1:15 PM)
All I know is that he was indicted by a grand jury in March and is due to stand trial for a class-3 felony in July. To me, that's serious. I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not going to make predictions. The Jets aren't dumb, and I know they investigated thoroughly, but there's some risk involved.
Josette (Long Island)
Rich, what are the team's (and your) expectations this year for Big Vlad?
Rich Cimini (1:17 PM)
Right now, I'd say he's the man to beat at RT. This lockout is really hurting guys like Vlad and Kyle Wilson, the second-year players. If Vlad doesn't work out, I absolutely would not rule out a return by Damien Woody.
Sean C (Glenmont, NY)
Hi, Rich. Were you surprised that Tanny made six picks in the draft? Also do you know if the Jets tried to move up in the first or second round to acquire a certain player. Once Cameron Jordan fell into the low 20s, I thought Tanny was going to move up to get him based on what you reported about the Jets being very high on him.
Rich Cimini (1:18 PM)
Tanny said he expressed some "cursory" interest in moving up. Yes, I know for a fact they really liked Jordan, so I'd have to guess either him or Phil taylor was their target.
Max (Illinois)
Rich, what does the powell pick say about the team's feelings about McKnight? I was shocked the team drafted an RB just a year after trading up to get McKnight. Also, does this mean the team will move forward with 4 RBs plus the Terminator? That seems a bit excessive.
Rich Cimini (1:20 PM)
You were shocked? Imagine how McKnight felt. At Jets West, he was pretty candid, saying he was "pissed and motivated." Yes, I think they'll keep all 4 RBs, plus Conner. Yeah, it is excessive, but the Jets always like to look a year ahead. LT will be gone, leaving Greene (contract year in '12) and question marks.
Evan (New York)
Hi Rich, great job on your Erik Ainge piece a ways back. Is it fair to say that, when the Jets drafted Ainge, they had no idea about his drug/addiction issues?
Rich Cimini (1:21 PM)
Thanks, Evan, I appreciate that. I asked Erik if the Jets ever asked him about it during the pre-draft interview process, and he said no. to the best of his knowledge, he never failed a drug test at Tenn because he had a prescription for the painkillers.
Tone Time (NJ)
Rich, Great work as always. I know you wrote that Kenrick Ellis faces up to 20 years and I know the Post columnist quoted a source as saying the case won't go to trial. But have you talked to any legal experts or other people about what type of penalty he's realistically facing? Doubt he'd get the maximum and doubt the case is just going to disappear.
Rich Cimini (1:24 PM)
Unlike my Post colleague, I'm not going to try this case in the papers. Naturally, you're going to get the pro-Ellis side when you talk to people in Ellis' camp. As I said earlier, he was indicted by a grand jury and is scheduled for trial in July. Is he going to get 20 years if convicted? I seriously doubt it, but who really knows how it's going to turn out? Let's let the legal process play out.
kev (nyc)
mo wilk was a projected top 10 pick by kiper in 2012. this kid kenrick ellis looks like a beast on game film. your thoughts on bypassing a rush OLB (ayers/reed/heyward) and getting younger on the DL, where age was certainly an issue?
Rich Cimini (1:27 PM)
OLB still is a need, but I was never sold on Ayers and Reed at No. 30. Ayers is going to be a solid pro, but based on the scouts I talked to, I don't think he's going to be a double-digit sacker. Wilkerson was the right choice given the way the board fell. Heyward is going to be a solid player, but he's a two-down run stuffer; he's not going to get many sacks. Wilkerson, at least, has the potential to develop into a good pass rusher.
Ben (London)
Hi Rich, great work at Jets West. Having failed to acquire a pass rusher via the draft, what's the Jets plan at that position? I would be a bit nervous if we just stood pat with our current personnel.
Rich Cimini (1:30 PM)
Well, Ben, get ready to be nervous. There isn't much out there in the free-agent market, so it looks like Tannenbaum will have to swing a trade if they want to acquire a veteran OLB. If not, you go with Pace, BT and Westerman, hoping Wilkerson can give you something on 3rd down. if that fails, blitz like hell.
Sal (San Diego)
Hi Rich!...Thanks for the in depth coverage you gave us on the draft...question about draft pick Kerley...I was reading that there is already "polish" to his receiver skills and he is a very good return man. As crazy as this may sound, do you suspect that in the long run, he could possibly be a better option for us than Brad Smith given that Smith is more of kick off and wild cat specialist and not much of a receiver? Perhaps Kerley can bring more to the table than Smith does?
Rich Cimini (1:33 PM)
Thanks, Sal. Actually, it's not so crazy. Kerley has the ability to contribute as a receiver. Remember, Smith came to the Jets as a QB and had to learn the WR position. That isn't easy. So, yeah, I'd say Kerley has more upside as a WR, but it'll be hard to match what Smith does as a Wildcat QB and KOR. He has made a LOT of huge plays for the Jets over the years, and I don't think you can assume a kid out of college will be able to match that.
Adam (NYC)
Rich, was a bit disappointed they Jets drafted Scotty McKnight, when it appeared likely that he would not be drafted by any other team, and we could (seemingly) easily sign him as an undrafted free agent. Did the team draft him just to pacify Sanchez?
Rich Cimini (1:34 PM)
There's no doubt in my mind that Sanchez factored into it. I talked to a GM from another team that was surprised the Jets drafted him because everybody assumed they'd get him as an UDFA. I mean, the Jets drafted a 5-9 WR in the fifth round, so they didn't absolutely have to have a 5-11 WR in the 7th.
Lou (Woodside)
Rich, you've never been known for your ability to admit your mistakes, so can you explain how it was acceptable for you, a member of the media acting in official capacity, to call a Jets draft pick a "druggie" on Twitter?
Rich Cimini (1:35 PM)
Maybe you didn't see it, Lou, but I did apologize on twitter.
David (Paramus)
Rich- Thanks for doing this and keeping us well informed on all things Jets. Is there a potential problem with the Jets not letting their assistant coaches interview elsewhere? It is my understanding that the Jets are only compelled to do so if the new position is a clear cut promotion, but do you thnk there could be an effect (even though Rex says he has the best staff in the league)? Thanks
Rich Cimini (1:38 PM)
Thanks, David. I'm assuming you're alluding to the Callahan/Tenn situation, which broke right after the season. The rule is, a team can block an asst coach from interviewing elsewhere UNLESS it's for a HC position. All other moves are considered lateral. Callahan's move to Tenn would've been lateral by definition. There are two ways to look at it ... Pro-Asst coach: Rex is risking with staff morale because he's prohibiting asst's from seeking employment elsewhere. Pro Rex: If an asst coach signs a contract, he should honor his contract to the team. And Callahan has a contract with the Jets.
wvJETSfan (West Virginia)
Rich, now that we have heard a little bit out of Edwards about a "hometown discount" and we heard the comments from Santonio what do you think the chances are the jets resign them, also what about Cromartie? Thanks for taking my question. And thanks for covering jets west.
Rich Cimini (1:40 PM)
My hunch is that Holmes returns as a RFA and Edwards leaves as a UFA. Edwards appears willing to be flexible, but is he going to accept a below-market deal to stay? I don't think so. Cromartie, I think, stays as a RFA -- if 2010 rules are in place.
IRA (Staten Island)
Rich, Braylon for sounded like i thought he felt. He wants to be back with the Jets. Why can't they give him a deal and wait until 012 to deal with Holmes if the 010 CBA rules are in affect?
Rich Cimini (1:43 PM)
This is a valid question, Ira. OK, let's supposed you sign Braylon for 5 yrs/35 mil. Do you think Holmes is gonna be happy with 1 yr/3.5 mil? Then what happens next year? You'd have to sign Holmes for at least as much as Braylon, and then you're talking $14 mil per year for a team that considers itself a run-first offense. Does that make sense? this is a tricky, multi-faceted issue.
Pete (Nashville)
Do you see Vlad Duchasse being able to step in and start this year? I would like to see them bring Woody back in case the kid isn't ready yet.
Rich Cimini (1:45 PM)
You're preaching to the choir, Pete. Unless Ducasse blows them away in camp (if there is a camp), I'd bring Woody back -- assuming Woody has recovered from his Achilles' surgery.
Danny (New Jersey)
Hey Rich, It was a pleasure to meet you at the memorablia show in Somerset NJ last month. In talking to Santonio do you think he wants to be a Jet for life and is he Mike T's #1 priority
Rich Cimini (1:46 PM)
If Holmes wants to be a Jet for life, he has a funny way of showing it. He's the anti-Braylon when it comes to contract posturing -- not that it means he doesn't want to be a Jet. Santonio, I think, is just playing it coy. He doesn't want to show his cards. And, yes, I think he's the No.1 priority.
big dawg (philly)
The draft tells me if one WR is on the out it's Brad Smith... You read it the same way or am I just wishful thinking BE and SH both come back?
Rich Cimini (1:47 PM)
Yeah, I could see Brad Smith on the way out. Even though he has a 2nd round tender as a RFA, that doesn't mean he's a lock to return. The Jets could trade Smith. I know of one team that already is sniffing around Smith.
Douglas (NYC)
Is Greg McElroy guaranteed to be the 3rd QB? Will the Jets simply cut Kellen Clemens and Kevin O'Connell? Any chance they keep one of those two over Brunell?
Rich Cimini (1:49 PM)
The Jets have enough QBs to fill 3 rosters. I don't think you can say Mac is guaranteed a spot, but he'd have to be pretty awful not to make it. Brunell will be the No. 2 in large part because of his calming effect on Sanchez. And you know what? I was watching Brunell at Jets West. For an old guy, he still throws a good ball.
neil (nj)
rich, after watching jets west, is the terminator j. connor a legitimate starting fb right now and how good could he be this season, if they play that is?
Rich Cimini (1:51 PM)
Oh, he's legit. He has the skills and his one-year "internship" under Richardson will serve him well. Conner doesn't get enough for receiving; he actually has pretty good hands.
Brian (Hazlet, NJ)
In reality what are the chances the Jets actually make a run for Nnamdi Asomugha?
Rich Cimini (1:53 PM)
The weekly Nnamdi question ... Here's a different answer. If the 2010 rules are in place, and the Jets are restricted by the Final Four rules, they can't sign Nnamdi if they re-sign Edwards. The rule is, you can sign a UFA unless you lose one. Even then, the first-year salary can't be more than the guy you lost. Other than Edwards, the Jets don't have another UFA that would command that type of money. So I ask you, who would you rather have, Edwards or Asomugha?
matt (new yotk)
How come you always focus on the negative?
Rich Cimini (1:55 PM)
If that's how you interpret things, then YOU must be someone who focuses on the negative.
Ben (Fairfield, CT)
Why do people rip mark sanchez, especially your fellow ESPN collegue Matt Williamson who trashes him every week he may not be elite yet but its only going to be his 3rd season.
Rich Cimini (1:57 PM)
I had an spirited debate with Williams on a podcast last season. I don't understand why he feels that way, but everyone is entitled to his opinion. Is sanchez an elite passer? Of course not. But does he win? Yes.
Matt B (White Plains)
Are the Jets players at Jets west just working out to stay in shape or are they doing football drills? Also has Sanchez considered trying to get some defensive players to workout with them to get team drills in or has any defensive player on the Jets tried putting something similar to Jets west together?
Rich Cimini (1:59 PM)
Very good question, Matt. No, I don't think they considered defensive players at Jets West. They wanted it to be a passing camp strictly. I know Revis has talked about bringing some DBs to Arizona to train with him at his training center, but I don't know if that's happened. Brandon Moore said he and Nick Mangold were going to get together to discuss the possibility of having an OL get-together; they might be waiting for the outcome of the latest court ruling.
Joe (NJ)
Rich, Can we read into anything with the Jets not adding an O lineman in the draft? Think it might mean they are happy with what they have or that might make a push for Woody? Also, was Drew Willy at Jets West?
Rich Cimini (1:59 PM)
They're happy with OL, knowing they can call Woody from the bullpen. No Willy at West.
Jason ( Pearl river ny)
thought the draft went ok. I would have liked to have that 2nd round pick to grab a LB.. Which leads me to this question - why grab that RB? he seems like a reach, especially when it really want a position of need. LB are more difficult to get quality that late, but was there no other defensive players ti look at?
Rich Cimini (2:01 PM)
Powell wasn't a reach, but one GM told me he's the kind of back you only if you have a need. Obviously, the Jets put a premium on RBs more than most teams.
Adam (New York)
Hi Rich I know wilkerson and Ellis came from smaller schools and dominated the competition but just how much of an i,pact do you expect Ellis /Wilkerson to have in the next 2-3 years.
Rich Cimini (2:02 PM)
I wouldn't expect them to have Suh-like rookie years. Ellis will take time because of his small-school background. Wouldn't be surprised if he contributes very little as a rookie.
Adam (New York)
Gun to your head - Will we have football this year?
Rich Cimini (2:03 PM)
Luke (North Carolina)
Hey Rich, I enjoy your writing.Could you give summary on how everybody at Jets West is looking? Thanks.
Rich Cimini (2:04 PM)
Well, I think Mehta dropped some weight and looked sharp. Cannizzaro looked a step slow. Vrentas always competes hard. Oh, did you mean the players?
Anna (Merrick)
Rich, Tannenbaum has said that Rex gets one draft pick every year. do you know who tat was this year?
Rich Cimini (2:05 PM)
Ha! Good question. I'd bet Kenrick Ellis.
Nick (Edison, NJ)
Rich, with the Eagles drafting Alex Henery, it seems that David Akers' time in Philly is over. Do you feel the Jets would have an interest in bringing in Akers, rather than bringing back Nick Folk?
Rich Cimini (2:06 PM)
That would be a definite possibility.
Charles D (Bethpage, NY)
Rich, You do any awesome job. Do you think they will go into the season with S. McKnight, will he make the cut?Met Rex at the Book Revue in Huntington, NY and gave him a 1973 yearbook showing his fater. He seemed suprised. Go Jets
Rich Cimini (2:07 PM)
My guess is practice squad for McKnight.
Tony B. (Raleigh, NC)
Hi Rich,I loved the Jets West coverage. Jets West shows that while Sanchez might not be one of the top 15 quarterbacks in the NFL skill-wise, he's in the Top 5 percent in the Leadership and Teammate category.Switching gears, do you think that lack of depth at the Safety position is going to hurt the Jets this season (assuming there is a season)? Rahim Moore may not have been good enough to draft 30th, but Leonhard, E. Smith, and Pool alone don't leave a lot of wiggle room should an injury befall one of them. I'm looking at you Jim Leonhard.
Rich Cimini (2:08 PM)
Thanks, Tony. I think the Jets are fairly confident they can re-sign Pool and/or Smith. Leonhard seems to be doing well.
Jason (Bmore)
As a Steelers fan, I found it funny that Braylon was working out with Sanchez, but Santonio was nowhere to be found. What a team player the guy is!
Rich Cimini (2:08 PM)
A month ago, Holmes said he wouldn't be able to make it because of a family issue.
Steve (Flushing)
Assuming Cromartie is back, do you think Kyle Wilson will have the number three spot
Rich Cimini (2:09 PM)
wvJETSfan (West Virginia)
If Ellis's background never becomes a problem was he a steal in the 3rd round???
Rich Cimini (2:10 PM)
Yeah ... if he can play. I've heard good things. Massive size, good athlete and plays hard. Not a lot of 350 lb men play hard every snap, but he does, from what I'm told. But it's still a huge leap from Hampton to NFL.
Anthony (NYC)
Rich I know this would be a reach but with the Jets not being able to address the DE/OLB position with the draft, could they bring in a FA like Merriman on an performance base contract? And would it be worth it?
Rich Cimini (2:11 PM)
Not sure, but didn't Merriman re-sign with Bills? Plus, his knees are shot.
Rich Cimini (2:12 PM)
That's a wrap for me. I think we set a record for most questions in an off-season week. I appreciate that, and the questions were sharp, as always. Thanks and have a great weekend! Rich

That simply brings you more firmly to his attention.
Milgrim is clean, drug-free for the first time in a decade. It took eight months in a clinic in Basel. Fifteen complete changes of his blood. Bigend paid for all that. Milgrim's idiomatic Russian is superb, and he notices things. Meanwhile no one notices Milgrim. That makes him worth every penny, though it cost Bigend more than his cartel-grade custom-armored truck.
The culture of the military has trickled down to the street — Bigend knows that, and he'll find a way to take a cut. What surprises him though is that someone else seems to be on top of that situation in a way that Bigend associates only with himself. Bigend loves staring into the abyss of the global market; he's just not used to it staring back.

Cow's milk allergy (CMA) continues to be a growing health concern for infants living in Western countries. The long-term prognosis for the majority of affected infants is good, with about 80% naturally acquiring tolerance by the age of four years. However, recent studies suggest that the natural history of CMA is changing, with an increasing persistence until later ages. The pathogenesis of CMA, as well as oral tolerance, is complex and not completely known, although numerous studies implicate gut-associated immunity and enteric microflora, and it has been suggested that an altered composition of intestinal microflora results in an unbalanced local and systemic immune response to food allergens. In addition, there are qualitative and quantitative differences in the composition of gut microbiota between patients affected by CMA and healthy infants. These findings prompt the concept that specific beneficial bacteria from the human intestinal microflora, designated probiotics, could restore intestinal homeostasis and prevent or alleviate allergy, at least in part by interacting with the intestinal immune cells. The aim of this paper is to review what is currently known about the use of probiotics as dietary supplements in CMA.
During the last decade, we observed a changing pattern in cow's milk allergy (CMA), the most common food allergy in childhood. An increased prevalence, severity of clinical manifestations and risk of persistence was demonstrated in Western countries [
Much evidence indicates the development of intestinal microflora as a crucial factor for immune system maturation and tolerance acquisition [
Food antigens and intestinal microflora constitute the majority of the antigen load in the intestine, and the "default" reaction of the immune system confronted with them leads to systemic unresponsiveness. This phenomenon is known as oral tolerance and is a key feature of intestinal immunity [
The inappropriate immune response to food, which is responsible for food allergy, is the result of a deregulation of these crucial processes [
Intestinal microflora drives oral tolerance development. Under homeostatic condition, antigens from selected components of intestinal microflora are acquired in the lamina propria and presented in the mesenteric lymphonodes by CD 103+ dendritic cells. Through mechanisms mainly involving transforming growth factor (TGF) β and retinoic acid, dendritic cells induce the production of gut homing Treg cells. Treg cells actively suppress allergic sensitization to food.
Basic research involving microbiology, biology, immunology and genetics is providing interesting insights on the delicate network driving to oral tolerance. Studies on germ-free mice revealed a failure in the acquisition of tolerance to food proteins. Mice with food allergy exhibit a specific gut microbiota signature capable of transmitting disease susceptibility. Transplanted healthy infant microbiota had a protective impact on sensitization and CMA in mice. Finally, polymorphisms in or deficiency of microbial sensors for bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (TLR-4) are associated to food allergy [
Probiotics have pleiotropic effects that occur within the intestinal lumen or within and beyond the intestinal mucosa (
Schematic representation of the mechanisms of action of probiotics implicated in allergy prevention and treatment.
|Within intestinal lumen
|➢ Modulation of intestinal microflora [
|➢ Increased local IgA production [
|➢ Hydrolysis of antigenic peptides [
|At mucosal level
|➢ Modulation of intestinal permeability [
|➢ Stimulation of cell growth and differentiation [
|Beyond the intestinal mucosa
|➢ Modulation of innate/adaptive immune system [
|➢ Induction of oral tolerance [
|➢ Impact on the enteric nervous system [
It is becoming evident that completely different effects may be observed, depending on the species and the strain of the microorganism used [
Numerous animal and human studies have been performed to test the potential effects of various strains of probiotic bacteria. In this context, one of the most extensively studied probiotics worldwide is LGG. Preventive and therapeutic properties of LGG related to atopic diseases, particularly in infants with CMA, have been reported [
Most randomized controlled trials enrolled infants at high risk for developing allergy, which was defined as more than one family member having any allergic disease. Most of these studies looked primarily at early outcomes of allergic disease, such as eczema. Although atopic eczema is a frequent manifestation of CMA [

The first objective in the treatment of CMA is the rapid resolution of symptoms. At this time, the only proven treatment consists of elimination of cow's milk protein from the diet. For infants receiving standard formulas, a hypoallergenic formula is indicated. Administration of LGG to food-allergic children (age <2 years, challenge-proven and mild-to-moderate eczema) improved the eczema score significantly [
The second objective in the treatment of CMA is tolerance acquisition. Hol, J.
The addition of probiotics in formulas used for the management of CMA requires that they be proven safe and are well tolerated. According to the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) and the American Academy of Pediatrics, a formula must be tested in a properly designed DBPCFC and can be considered hypoallergenic when demonstrated with 95% confidence that at least 90% of infants and children with confirmed CMA would have no reaction to the formula under double-blind, placebo-controlled conditions. LGG has over 25 years of safe use, including administration to preterm infants. Recently, Muraro
An emerging problem is the observation that some probiotic compounds that are currently on the market may contain hidden allergens of food and may not be safe for subjects with CMA. Thus, more accurate screening tests to detect residual food proteins in end products are necessary to assess the safety of these products for food allergic patients. For allergic subjects, we would only recommend well characterized products with better information on their labels about the content of cow's milk proteins [
An increasing amount of evidence suggests the role of select probiotics in prevention or treatment of CMA. These data support the importance of a "nutritional immunology approach" able not only to efficiently cure the symptoms, but also to accelerate tolerance acquisition in children with CMA. However, as a result of strain, dose and product specificities and in order to be in agreement with recommendations of official and scientific organizations, it is important that randomized, controlled trials are performed for each commercialized product.

ATLANTA — Georgia Tech received a late boost with the signing of running back Myles Autry.
Coach Paul Johnson said that Autry, whose brother Anthony is a receiver with the Yellow Jackets, is one of six newcomers who have a chance to fill a variety of roles in summer camp.
Georgia Tech signed 21 players to national letters of intent Wednesday — six offensive linemen, four defensive backs, three defensive ends, three linebackers, two running backs, two receivers and one quarterback.
"When you recruit them, you hope they'll all have an immediate impact," Johnson said. "Realistically, how many guys in the freshman class are going to come in and play? Maybe half, and it's hard to say which ones it would be, but we'll give them all the opportunity."
Like Autry, receivers Qua Searcy and Clinton Lynch, running back CJ Leggett and twin brother defensive backs Lance and Lawrence Austin might take snaps at multiple positions, offensively and defensively.
"Today very few guys play in one spot," Johnson said. "Unless you're a really big high school, guys are pretty versatile. There's a lot of guys in this class that could go either way."
Autry, a local standout from Norcross High School, signed late in the afternoon. He also considered Florida State, Florida, Ohio State and Oregon.
Four signees — defensive back Step Durham, defensive end KeShun Freeman, linebacker Tre' Jackson and quarterback Matthew Jordan — enrolled in school last month.
The Jackets, who went 7-6 last season, had several injuries that hurt depth at offensive line and defensive back in 2013.

Weekend Edition: Delhi disaster, River Plate in danger, that other UFC story, and much more.Sunday, September 26th, 2010
Our lead-off image shows Argentina's Gisele Dulko in a precarious position as she helped to launch the Pan-Pacific Open in Tennis but the real dangers posed to some athletes in India are of a more serious concern.
There's always a panic but this is ridiculous
Before every major tournament, even the recent World Cup in South Africa, there are always concerns about the standard of facilities and preparations in general. Usually these are over-hyped and the major event passes off with relatively few hitches. Unfortunately the organisers of the Commonwealth Games, which are being held in Delhi, didn't get the memo.
There was a footbridge collapsed near the main stadium on Tuesday, followed by a partial roof collapse at the Weightlifting venue on Wednesday, and then there's the issue of the athletes' village. These photos published by the BBC show the extent of the issues with the village as it stands. It comes as little surprise then that many athletes have used these incidents as an excuse to pull out of the games. It is time for a little perspective here however as many athletes in contention for medals at next year's World Athletics Championships or in any event at the 2012 Olympics will see the Commonwealth Games as a burden. There was no shortage of withdrawals before this week's string of embarrassments for Delhi. These incidents are compounding a pre-existing problem and leading to more withdrawals than the games.
Greatness of St Galls
St Galls of Belfast retained the Antrim Senior Football Championship a mere 7 days after winning the Kilmacud Crokes All Ireland Football 7s. Clearly taking inspiration from the saint they're named for, St Galls showed tremendous stamina to win the county final against Erin's Own Cargin by 2-13 to 0-10 on Saturday night. The win was St Galls fourth title in a row and ninth in 10 years.
The tournament in Kilmacud is particular gruelling and the core of the St Galls team that beat Cargin on Saturday had to play six games in the 7s just a week before their county final. Recording two victories of this calibre within a week is a remarkable achievement and bodes well for St Galls chances of retaining the All Ireland Club Championship they won on St Patrick's day.
River Plate might win a title and get relegated
Argentina's complicated promotion and relegation system could claim a notable victim next summer. River Plate has amassed a record 33 championships over the years and the Buenos Aires club is once again challenging for the title this season. For all their success Los Millonarios are in relegation trouble due to Argentina's unusual league system.
Unlike European leagues, Argentina plays two seasons every year with a champion awarded for each of the single-round Apertura and Clausura seasons. The twenty team Primera Division uses an averaging system which sees the two teams with the worst three-year averages relegated while the next two worst teams are forced into relegation playoffs with the third and fourth best teams from the second flight. This format helps big clubs compensate for the high rate of transfers from Argentina to Europe. With teams unable to consistently keep players, the chances of a bad season following a good campaign are high. Indeed the last eight championships, over the course of four years, have produced eight different champions. At the time of writing River Plate is in 18th position on the averaging system despite being 6th in the current campaign. This would force the Buenos Aires club into a playoff should they fail to make a significant move. River has time on its side however as it has the rest of the current Apertura campaign and the Clausura to get out of the current rut.
Cronin claims British Rally crown
Cork's Keith Cronin won the British Rally Championship for the second straight year. Cronin secured the title with a third place finish in the Trackrod Rally Yorkshire, his fifth podium finish of the year. The Corkman's only serious challenger for the title entering this round was Jonny Greer but he crashed out, ending his chances and likely calming Cronin's nerves. There's no news yet on whether Cronin will get a chance to move up to either the IRC or WRC Championships. Dungannon's Kris Meeke, who won the IRC title in 2009, has secured a move to drive for Mini in the WRC next year.
Sonnen's rapid descent
Saturday's UFC 119 was not the biggest event on the organisation's calendar but Dana White and friends will hope it deflects some of the attention from Chael Sonnen's positive drug test. Sonnen dominated Anderson Silva at UFC 117 up until the final round when he fell victim to a submission by the Spider. It's a sad twist to an exciting story. Sonnen had spent the guts of six months trash-talking Silva, describing how he would physically dominate the UFC Middleweight Champion. Prior to the submission it went exactly as Sonnen planned and a re-match was set for Super Bowl weekend. That is over and Sonnen's future in the sport is now in serious doubt. Dana White has been aggressive in his efforts to generate positive publicity for the UFC brand and will show little mercy to any fighter that fails a drug test.
More than mistaken identity
We hear plenty of tales about Footballers faking their ages before making it to the big European leagues but the same problem occurs across the Atlantic in other sports. The Washington Nationals paid Dominican Baseball player Carlos Alvarez a $1.4 million signing bonus in 2006, thinking the 20 year-old was in fact 16 year-old prospect Esmailyn Gonzalez. Alvarez is now a key witness in a dispute between the Nationals and Jose Baez, who was Washington's Dominican academy coordinator. The case has reached the courts in the Dominican Republic as Baez was fired by the Nationals over the incident.
In June, Alvarez told the court that Baez and another Nationals' employee, Jose Rijo, were aware that he was not Gonzalez. Rijo was also fired by Washington. The testimony came to light in a report by Sports Illustrated earlier this week. A judgement in November awarded Baez $75,000 in a wrongful termination suit but Washington has launched an aggressive and costly appeal. The case is ongoing but the whole incident sheds light on the dark side to the progress of players from the Dominican Republic to the big leagues, where shady handlers are all too often have a role in making a killing off the ascension of talent.
Wear and tear
Finally this morning we look at some research by The Big Lead's Jason Lisk into American Football. Lisk challenges a notion that 370 carries or more in a single season is a recipe for running backs to get injured in the NFL and that single games instead are more to blame. The research is interesting as it shows that there clearly is an optimal range of giving running backs 21 to 23 carries in games so as to avoid injury, with the potential for injury increasing at a massive rate right up into the mid-30s. That said it fails to adequately address the 370 issue. Over a 16 game NFL season a back with 370 carries would average 23.125 carries, which is within Lisk's range. While eye-opening and insightful in his analysis of the impact of single-game load, a lack of comparison to how it compares to player injuries based on total-season load means we only get part of the answer.
Have a great Sunday.

oakley dartboard uality case just be aware that it is not a rigid case Bought it for my partner. The fancy Chanel sunglasses she bought came in a soft case which didn't offer much in crush protection. The lens was all in one piece and very curved hence we coouldn't find a hard case for it; even the supplying optician could not supply a hard case for the sunglasses. The photos accompanying this Vktech Zipper Paris kite board ralph lauren logo s, but when I received them they were obviously way too big for my 16 month old. I complained to Amazon so hopefully they will update the listings with the correct age guidelines. I was told that the manufacturer is the one who provides the descriptions, not Amazon, so that is why I gave these only 2 stars, since they did a poor job describing their product. The box I received states 'Congratulations on selecting your Retro Banz for children aged 2-5 years.....Retro Banz sunglasses are alsoEquatorial Guinea ray ban sunglass case shop online best sites .
ed when I received them, and also a bit too large for women I would say. Still, the seller was very helpful, answered me quickly each time I wrote to them and refunded me for the glasses. Shame they weren't what I wanted, but the seller was no problem at all and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
As seen on screen. Great value for money and delivered on date stated. Would definitel www.somnomed.co.uk these for my husband who has sight problems and needs wraparound sunglasses. Fitted well and nice glossy finish - he was delighted with them. Good quality and excellent price
The glasses are of good quality as expected but, for m wayfarer ray ban rs, and have found these to be the best so far. The size is easily adjustable, so we slide the toggle down to the end of the strap to put his glasses on, then adjust it - this stops it getting caught in his hair or around his ears. Because my son's glasses arms curve down the back of his ears we position the strap along roughly his hairline, with the toggle at the nape of his neck, and find this keeps them in the correct position on his face, prevent.

Anyone confirm this scratches the TA itch? I would play the s*** out of this game if it is TA
I loved TA, but maybe it's because I just got over RTS which isn't total war style, but I opened this the other day (backed it ages ago), and got bored within 2 minutes...
|I ran through the single player campaign thingie which is basically a series of skirmishes and a limited tech tree that you can expand/customize as you defeat enemies until you are strong enough to take out faction leaders, which are tougher than the normal missions. Had some fun with it.
I don't think I'd enjoy playing it against friends like I used to with TA, but that's mainly because I don't enjoy the competitive aspect of multiplayer games much nowadays - I don't enjoy losing much, and when I win I just kinda feel bad for the guy that lost instead of any kind of excitement or elation.
|it's a good TA game. i do like it but i'd rather play these games against mates. i find it too easy to get lost on the planet.

Paolo Soleri—the intrepid architect, urban planner, and visionary—has added another honor to his long list of accolades: a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. The 87-year-old Soleri was recognized for his lifelong experiment in sustainable urban planning at Arcosanti ( www.arcosanti.org), the prototype planned community under construction since 1970. "Soleri, in his own visionary way, took into account a lot of the considerations that architects are now finding make a lot of sense," says Roger Mandle, president of the Rhode Island School of Design and chair of the Cooper-Hewitt's 2006 National Design Awards jury. "The jury felt it was time to recognize Soleri for the very practical suggestions his work has made as we take greater account of the impact of urban design on ecology."
For 40 years, Soleri has been tackling problems that architects and planners have only recently begun to take seriously. He coined the term arcology—architecture fused with ecology—to define a design approach that allows cities to function as a complex living system to reduce waste and improve quality of life. Born and educated in Italy, Soleri came to the United States in 1947 and spent a year and a half working with Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West. He returned to Italy in 1950, but six years later he settled in Scottsdale, Ariz., where he established Cosanti, a not-for-profit educational organization that funds research and construction on Arcosanti.
Soleri notes that Arcosanti is "a very modest endeavor" in its development pace. As a result of the award, he hopes the project will begin to attract more financing. "I don't have any doubt about the validity of what I'm proposing, and I'm hoping that Arcosanti might solicit some interest that goes beyond curiosity," he says. "We'd like to see the project, on 860 acres, be purchased by a corporation or philanthropist and given to a university. The money we'd get from the purchase would be put back into the project." Soleri will be honored at a gala on October 18, with First Lady Laura Bush serving as the honorary patron for this year's National Design Awards.

- Replay the macro to make sure it works on your local system
- Validate your macro against AlertFox
- Log in to AlertFox and copy & paste the macro as a new iMacros sensor
- Click "Test Sensor Now" to test the macro. This triggers a real web browser on the server that runs your macro. The return code is displayed once the macro is completed. A return code of "1" means that the macro was replayed just fine.
- Click "Update" to store the macro
- You are all set now. AlertFox will execute the macro periodically and alert you if the macro fails.
- Avoid working on the system where idrone has been installed as it might interrupt between the Firefox profile deletions that the idrone has to perform at regular intervals
Supported Commands
This page has been changed. Please refer to http://alertfox.com/help/supported-commands/ for the latest changes
Since AlertFox runs the original iMacros software, it replays the test macros the same way that they run on your desktop. Therefore, all iMacros commands are supported, except a few that require user interaction.
- For file upload tests, dummy test files (.jpg, .png, .pdf, .zip, .doc, and .txt) are available on the server. The path is c:\uploadtest\. The file names are 10k.ext, 100k.ext, and 1M.ext, where .ext is one of the aforementioned file types. The first part of the file name indicates the file size (10k = 10 kilobytes, 1M = 1 MB). If you need other file types or sizes, please contact AlertFox support.
Here is a test upload macro:
URL GOTO=http://depositfiles.com/ TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:FILE FORM=ID:upload_form ATTR=NAME:files CONTENT=C:\uploadtest\1m.zip TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:upload_form ATTR=VALUE:* TAG POS=1 TYPE=DIV ATTR=ID:main TAG POS=1 TYPE=DIV ATTR=ID:upload_done_block TAG POS=2 TYPE=DIV ATTR=CLASS:upload_form_title
- Download tests are supported, too. You can create macros that download any kind of data. The download directory is purged automatically every ten minutes.
Note that the maximum macro runtime is currently limited to 120 seconds, so the up- or download must be completed during this time. PRO3 customers can contact tech support for individual adjustments.
Public Graphs
This page has been changed. Please refer to http://alertfox.com/help/public-graphs/ for latest changes.
AlertFox allows you to mark your performance monitoring graphs for public access. This offers several benefits:
- Add a website link to the AlertFox data and show your users that you take quality seriously.
* Your users can see directly how responsive and reliable your web application is. * Or use it only for yourself to skip the AlertFox login.
- There are two options:
* Display current day (default): begin=now&end=now * Display last seven day (week): begin=last7days&end=now
- PRO account users can display a wider range of data. Please email email@example.com to discuss.
- PRO account users can display a corresponding Status Page for each sensor. It is a simple website for each sensor with only one word on it: OK, ERROR, WARNING-ORANGE, WARNING-RED or NODATA. The status page is updated whenever the sensor status changes. This status page allows for extremely easy integration of your iMacros sensors with any other system software, such as Nagios or Zenoss. Please email email@example.com to discuss.
