ArrayTrack™ History
The following criteria were considered at ArrayTrack's inception and continue to be considered during continuing development:
- A rich collection of gene, protein, and pathway functional information to provide context in data interpretation
- A software environment that automatically integrates gene expression data with functional information and visual and analytic tools for efficient and effective data analysis and interpretation
- Ability to cross-link gene expression and conventional toxicological data for phenotypic-driven exploration of underlying mechanisms of toxicity
- Modularization for easy extensibility to other types of omics data (e.g., proteomic and metabonomic data) to enable systems toxicology research
ArrayTrack™, in its eight years of development, has witnessed tremendous growth and has established itself as a comprehensive data management, analysis, and interpretation tool. During this time it has had increasing and demonstrable impacts on FDA programs such as the Voluntary Genomics Data Submission (VGDS) program and the MicroArray Quality Control (MAQC) project.
ArrayTrack™ is widely used within FDA in important programs, and is also freely available to the entire scientific community. Its popularity has steadily grown, and its use has spread within public agencies (e.g., EPA, CDC, and NIH), academia, and private sector on an international scale. ArrayTrack™ has Web users (i.e., on the FDA Web site) as well as local installations where ArrayTrack™ is installed along with a local Oracle database.
2001: Version 1.0.0
ArrayTrack™ was first developed as a research tool to support in-house microarray experiments using simple and inexpensive filter arrays.
2002-2003: Version 2.0.0
With the establishment of an in-house microarray core facility at NCTR, ArrayTrack™ was further developed to fulfill the requirement of a microarray data management, analysis, and interpretation tool. It was expanded to work with custom two color arrays. ArrayTrack™ was made available to the public in late 2003[1].
2004: Version 3.1.0
In 2004, ArrayTrack™ was adapted as the primary tool for FDA's voluntary genomics data submission program (VGDS). The VGDS program is a novel data-submission mechanism which encourages regulated sponsors to interact with the FDA by submitting genomic data on a voluntary basis. ArrayTrack's adoption as the FDA genomic tool to support VGDS created additional functionality requirements, which led to an expansion of the software to work with Affymetrix GeneChip technology. New functionalities that were developed included:
- direct loading of CEL files into ArrayTrack™
- conversion of probe level data to any or all of the probe-set level data types including MAS5, RMA, DChip and Plier
- data filtering based on the presence/absence call
- mapping the affy ID to other types of gene IDs (e.g., Entrez Gene ID), protein ID (e.g., SwissProt Accession number), and different array platform ID (e.g., Agilent ID)
- providing annotations (e.g., pathways, functions)
2005-2006: Version 3.1.5-3.2.0
Through its use in the VGDS program, many key issues needed to be addressed such as array quality, data analysis methods, and cross-platform differences. In order to provide a consensus solution regarding the quality of microarray experiments, an NCTR-led collaborative effort, the MAQC project was started in 2005. The MAQC Phase I project used six different commercial and one institutionally developed microarray platform, requiring ArrayTrack™ to significantly expand in the type of arrays it supported. As a result, a generalized data management scheme was implemented that can handle data from most, if not all, commercial array platforms including Affymetrix, Agilent one and two color arrays, ABI, CodeLink and Illumina. ArrayTrack™ also integrated other external software such as Ingenuity, GeneLogic DrugMatrix, GeneGo MetaCore, CEBS, and SAS/JMP, thereby significantly building its data analysis and biological interpretation capabilities.
2007: Version 3.3.0
By the end of 2006 the VGDS program had been extended to proteomics and metabonomics data voluntary submissions and as a result, VGDS was renamed as VXDS (Voluntary eXploratory Data Submission). With VXDS submissions bringing forth a large amount of both clinical and non-clinical data, a requirement arose for a general mechanism to handle study data [2]. Such a general data standard was implemented in ArrayTrack™ using the Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) as the standard for non-clinical data and clinical data as suggested by Clinical Data Interchange Standard Consortium (CDISC). Additionally, functionalities were developed to facilitate interpretation of multiple data types (nonclinical, clinical and data from different omics platforms) in the context phenotypic anchoring.
2008-Present: Version 3.4.0
With the latest software version release, ArrayTrack™ has been expanded to include a new format for importing data called SimpleTox. The SimpleTox format utilizes controlled vocabulary from MIAME and SEND (Standard for Exchange of Nonclinical Data) to permit study data (e.g., animal data and toxicological endpoints) to be input along with corresponding array data. This allows for linking of expression data with phenotypic endpoints and enables identification of possible molecular mechanisms related to phenotype. Additional data analysis functions such as the popular SAM-Test, K-mean clustering have also been incorporated into the latest version. Also, a functionality to identify common pathways and/or GO terms shared by up to three lists of analytes has been implemented. The analytes may be from the same experimental platform, but different technologies such as genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, thus expanding ArrayTrack's utility for system biology.

Both medical and technological developments have led to the increased provision of cancer medicines on the market. These improved and advanced treatments make it possible for cancer patients to survive or live longer with a better quality of life. Unfortunately, the number of people diagnosed with cancer is rising every year. The combination of increased cancer incidence in the population and new technologically advanced cancer medicines results in a situation where the total cost of cancer is rising which puts an unprecedented demand on healthcare budgets and/or makes treatment unaffordable for many cancer patients. There is a growing risk that affordability or pricing of the medication will become a deciding factor in a patient's cancer treatment in the hospital or in the doctor's office. This leads to instability and unpredictability; which is particularly undesirable to a patient who has received a cancer diagnosis. A political and social discussion must be held and as a result policy must be developed in order to ensure equal and affordable access to cancer medicines. Patients must be able to rely on receiving the best possible treatment to match their medical needs and optimise their potential for beating their disease.
Call for Action
New cancer medicines offer new perspectives for patients with diseases that could hardly be treated or cured in the past. However, with these advanced cancer medicines come dilemmas concerning the extremely high cost and a rising number of cancer patients. Measures that are currently taken to guarantee the accessibility of new medicines and to limit their cost are no longer sufficient.The sustainability of health care systems is also at stake. In our opinion it is important to tackle the problem of rising (and high) prices for new cancer medicines with members of the pharmaceutical industry. Their 'contract with society' has to be redefined. Decisions related to pricing and reimbursement of cancer medicines are primarily the responsibility of national governments and third parties. Since the problem of access and affordability exists in many parts of Europe and beyond, it is necessary to join forces on an international level, exchange information and best practices and look for possible common solutions. To assure the accessibility of innovative cancer medicines for all cancer patients, the countries of this task force have decided to join forces. This task force that will actively address the problems that threaten the accessibility of cancer medicines in an international setting, starting in Europe. We will work towards the following goals:
Our Goals
Our ultimate goal is to achieve equal access to medicines for all cancer patients in Europe.
Goal 1: The cancer societies of this task force state that all effective and innovative cancer treatments nowand in the future should be accessible to patients. Patients cannot suffer from a dysfunctional system and/or unsustainable financial and pricing arrangements in the prescription of medicines.
Goal 2: Medicine prices should be sustainable and proportionate to real cost of research and development and added therapeutic value. In that respect an open, transparent and continuous dialogue with the pharmaceutical industry is needed. Knowledge and information must be shared internationally and co-operation must be sought after.
Goal 3: Cancer medicines that have a distinctive therapeutic added value should reach patients in a timely manner, in the safest way and at affordable prices. The patients should be fully informed of the possible benefits and harms.
Goal 4: Cancer societies in Europe should work together to get and keep this issue on the national and European agendas of politicians, policy makers and the pharmaceutical industry
Goal 5: Patients should at all times be involved in the decision-making process (eg. joint decision making concerning policies as well as treatment process).

Jessica's Profile
Fox Parse started as a joke about how to pronounce 'Faux Pas' and ended up as a little dressmaking business run out of the front room of my apartment. My ridiculous love of comic books, Mod fashion and working deep into the night brought about the simple and bright dresses. My yearning to wear school uniforms again nudged me towards making collars.
My sewing room is one floor up and right on the main drag through my inner city suburb. The sewing machine chugs along to the rattling of trams and I'm fuelled by really good coffee bought on sneaky trips outside to watch the fashionable young things cycle past. The city I live in definitely pokes and prods my creativity, forcing me to constantly reconsider what I want to make. It's pretty bloody good, actually!
I love talking about fashion and trends, even if I'm rubbish at following them but secretly I'm just waiting for…

Salvation comes through excepting Jesus Christ as your savior and believing that
God presents himself as God the Father in the OT, right?
Presents himself as a man, right?
Present as the Holy Spirit, right?
And GOD will present himself as the Messiah for the Jewish people- but this messiah will NOT be Jesus.
This may be true of your particular version of Christianity, but the overwhelming majority of Christians I know (and I'm not speaking only of those who claim to take the bible literally) believe as I and others have described-- that the requirements for the Messiah will be fulfilled when Jesus returns. (By 'overwhelming majority,' I mean, 'at least 90% of individuals who call themselves 'Christians' of any denomination.)
I'm guessing you mean "accepting"...
AFAIK, in Jewish tradition, G-d does not present as a man or woman. Angels have presented as men. But that is all.
I also do not think there is a concept of "holy spirit" in Judaism.
AND finally, G-d will not present G-d's self as Moshiach. The Moshiach will be a human being only. The Moshiach must fulfill all prophesies, including world peace, which I just can't see that that has happened at. all. But the Moshiach will remain human throughout.
Also, there is a lot of teaching within Judaism about making sure that people understand the difference between people and G-d. The difference b/w prophets and G-d. The difference b/w angels and G-d. G-d is G-d. There is no other. Neither people, nor angels, nor prophets, nor the Moshiach can be G-d.
This is basic and simple Jewish belief.
Ok, but this isn't the point. I think there is a confusion on both our parts and we may actual agree with each other.
There is no "incorrect to me."
What you believe, whether spoken or not, is wrong. Not to me but to doctrine.
Judaism and Christianity are not one in the same, they have a starting point in common but other than that nothing.
I was raised Catholic (and went to 12 years of Catholic school) and am now Episcopalian (Anglican). Those 2 denominations comprise the majority of the world's Christians. That Jesus will fulfill the literal criteria for the Messiah when he returns may be a theory that some hold, BUT it is definitely not taught, and the emphasis in these denominations is on the SPIRITUAL meaning of the prophesies. I'm not sure where you're getting your figure of "90% of individuals who call themselves Christian," but it is inaccurate.
Hmm, which doctrine, exactly?
I think I am pretty clear that Judaism and Christianity is not the same thing, but Jewish doesn't always equal Judaism. So to call something Jewish doesn't necessarily mean that I'm connecting it to Judaism. I thought I made that point clear, but I guess not.
And on the other note, you are talking to someone who got so much crap for becoming Christian. So when someone tells me Judaism and Christianity are not one in the same, I have 4 words to say to that: Believe me, I know.
Fair enough; let me qualify-- OF the individuals with whom I have communicated on the subject who call themselves Christians, at least 90% believe as I have described. These would be people of all walks of life, of various denominations, from all over the world (though a fair majority of them live in central PA). I've met travelling missionaries of all stripes, I've done a little bit of travelling, I've spoken with people over the internet and I've had the distinct impression that this is what the vast majority of Christians believe. The other 10% usually believe either that a) it's all allegory or b) that Jesus already fulfilled all of the prophecies (. It may not be true of the people you know or the churches you've been to, but it's very true of the people I've encountered, and there have been many. Even people who are only nominally Christian are willing, nay eager, to preach to my heathen ass. A lot of them talk to me. A LOT. :
I'm not Jewish.
I'm reconciling with my Catholic childhood (through my stepmother) and will begin RCIA in September).
And *I* see and AGREE with what merpk and others are saying. Jesus did not fulfill requirements to be messiah for Jews, but DOES fulfill requirements to be the Messiah for Christians.
Why is this such a hard concept to grasp for some?
So in another thread there is an assertion that to say "Jesus cannot be the Jewish messiah and I'll tell you why" is disrespectful and is the equivalent of saying "I'm right and you're wrong."
I respectfully disagree.
Saying Jesus is not the Jewish messiah is stating the facts of Judaism and is stating normative Jewish thought in *all* streams of Judaism.
Saying that Jesus is the Jewish messiah is stating Christian theology, or Messianic theology, which is not Jewish theology. And you know what? Saying that Jesus is the Jewish messiah is insulting to Jews.
Again, to be clear:
You all can say Jesus was the messiah all you want. No problems there. It's when you say he was the Jewish Messiah that it's a problem.
And while I'm at it, Christian theology and Muslim theology are both "supercessionist" (sp?) in that they say Judaism blew it and they are the "correct" and "final say" on the subject. Is that disrespectful as well? So do I get to be offended when anything Abrahamic-yet-not-Jewish is posted?
I just think it's interesting, given the topic of the thread. If you don't believe Jesus is who the RCC says He is, why would you want to be one? Isn't that the kind of thing we've been talking about wrt to Judaism?
At any rate I don't really care, I was simply pointing it out since it seemed possible you might not realize.
The RCC teaches that Jesus was THE Messiah (not just a Messiah for Christians) who fulfilled all of the Hebrew prophecies.

Seventh Species Publications
Gary Noland grew up on a plot of land three blocks south of UC Berkeley known as People�s Park, which has distinguished itself as a site of civic unrest since the 1960s. As an adolescent, Gary lived for a time in Salzburg and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where he absorbed many musical influences. He earned a BA in music from UC Berkeley in 1979, continued studies at the Boston Conservatory, and transferred to Harvard where he added to his credits an MA and PhD in 1989. His teachers in composition and theory have included John C. Adams, Alan Curtis, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, William Denny, Robert Dickow, Janice Giteck, Andrew Imbrie, Earl Kim, Leon Kirchner, David Lewin, Donald Martino, Hugo Norden, Marta Ptaszynska, Chris Roz�, Goodwin Sammel, John Swackhamer, Ivan Tcherepnin, and Walter Winslow. He has attended seminars by composers David Del Tredici, Beverly Grigsby, Michael Finnissy and Bernard Rands, and has had private consultations with George Rochberg and Joaquin Nin-Culmell. Gary�s catalogue consists of over 400 works, which include piano, vocal, chamber, experimental and electronic pieces, full-length plays in verse, fiction, and graphically notated scores. His compositions have been performed and broadcast in many locations throughout the United States, as well as in Europe, Asia, and Australia. He founded the Seventh Species concert series in San Francisco in 1990 and has, since, produced over 50 concerts of contemporary concert hall music on the West Coast. Gary is also a founding member of Cascadia Composers. Gary has taught music at Harvard and the University of Oregon and currently teaches piano, theory, and composition as an independent instructor in Portland, Oregon. Six CDs of his compositions are available on North Pacific Music at: www.northpacificmusic.com.

World Cocktail Week kicks off on Monday, and DC Toasts wants to commemorate the District's favorite excuse to celebrate by throwing an educational event. Well ... sort of.
On Friday, Howard Theatre will go-go to Chuck Brown-style music while drinking cocktails made by some of the best mixologists in the business and celebrating influential bartenders from the District's history, such as Dick Francis, a freed slave who became bartender in the Senate's restaurant, and other Prohibition-era bartenders who formed the Black Mixology Club.
Modern bartenders will pay homage to some historic recipes at Friday's event. Jay-Z's favorite cognac, D'USSE, is a co-sponsor and at their table, Colin Asare-Appiah will be serving D'USSE Quiot Club Punch (cognac, Bacardi rum, Madeira wine, lemon, simple syrup), a drink created in the early 1900s at the Quiot Club in Richmond, Va.
"D.C. is working its way to the forefront of cocktail culture in the U.S.," Asare-Appiah, who also co-hosts British TV's "Cocktail Kings," told Yeas & Nays, noting the farm-to-table movement and more women getting behind the bar.
The event is a chance to experience that "cocktail culture" in person.
"Drinking is a tangible way to experience the past, to literally taste history," explained Derek Brown, who owns the Passenger and helped organize the event. "This is an event to toast great bartenders first and foremost, and that's who the Black Mixology Club were, great bartenders. However, due to historical circumstance, they were never given the credit they deserve."
Brown, also a founder of the D.C. Craft Bartender's Guild, pioneered the Rickey as D.C.'s official cocktail, and will be serving the Gin Rickey at the event. He thinks both bartenders and consumers should aim higher when it comes to drinks -- and he wants more bartenders to learn how to make and suggest the Rickey ("Gin, half of a lime squeezed and dropped in the glass. Add ice and soda water," he tells us).
"What we drink says who we are as individuals and as a community," according to Brown. Understanding the history of the craft is one step anybody can take toward becoming a better mixologist.
Asare-Appiah encourages anyone to experiment making cocktails at home, but recommends premium ingredients and fresh fruit. Friday's event ought to be a good source of inspiration.
The event will make some history, as well, by awarding Ann Tuennerman, founder of the New Orleans Tales of the Cocktail festival. Tuennerman is someone Asare-Appiah credited with helping bring "the global community together."
D'USSE is honoring Tuennerman with the "Tom Bullock Award for Distinguished Service" (Bullock was the first black bartender to publish a cocktail book prior to Prohibition).
"Ann has been such a trailblazer in the industry and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate and honor her success," Brown said.
Tickets ($75 to $100) are available at dctoasts.com. Proceeds partly benefit the Museum of the American Cocktail.

Indiana Road Conditions
December 13, 2010 by USA Post
Indiana Road Conditions, Many schools are closed and so are some companies due to blowing snow and blowing snow. Some roads, particularly side streets and in rural areas are covered with snow.
High winds blow snow on the roads already cleared giving limited visibility.
The Department of Transportation, Indiana (the Ministry of Transport) has more than 900 yellow plow trucks clearing and salting all state roads, highways and U.S. highways.
Authorities say the winds causing snow drifts of up to six feet high in northwestern Indiana stranded some people in their cars.
Officials in the counties of Laporte and Porter issued emergency orders that drivers stay off the roads that the region had a foot or more snow and lake-effect winds up to 30 mph.
Deputy Sheriff Andy Hynek said LaPorte County high drifts closed all roads east-west and nearly 100 abandoned vehicles were reported.
Hynek said that some people were trapped in their vehicles for 12 hours.
Road conditions are reported by the teams that Department of Transportation and National Weather Service alerts are available online at TrafficWise.IN.gov or by calling 1-800-261-ROAD (7623).

How Does Financing Impact Investment? The Role of Debt Covenants
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Full Text HTML
- Author(s): SUDHEER CHAVA, MICHAEL R. ROBERTS
- Published: Sep 10, 2008
- Pages: 2085-2121
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-6261.2008.01391.x
We identify a specific channel (debt covenants) and the corresponding mechanism (transfer of control rights) through which financing frictions impact corporate investment. Using a regression discontinuity design, we show that capital investment declines sharply following a financial covenant violation, when creditors use the threat of accelerating the loan to intervene in management. Further, the reduction in investment is concentrated in situations in which agency and information problems are relatively more severe, highlighting how the state‐contingent allocation of control rights can help mitigate investment distortions arising from financing frictions.

Ursus americanus
Biome: Eastern Woodlands
Classification: Mammals
Biography: Of the three bear species that inhabit North America, the American black bear is the only one found exclusively on this continent. It relies upon its keen sense of smell to locate a variety of foods. The black bear's diet changes seasonally, and includes berries, acorns, beechnuts, skunk cabbage, grass and carrion. Favorite den sites for hibernation include rock cavities, hollow trees, excavation dens or ground nests. During hibernation, a black bear does not eat, drink, urinate or defecate, and will lose up to thirty percent of its body weight. Typically, two to three cubs, each weighing about 12 ounces, are born to a hibernating sow in January or early February.
The black bear has a more diverse range than the brown or polar bears of North America, and can be found throughout the boreal forests of Alaska and Canada, the Rockies, the Appalachians in the east, and as far south as Florida and Mexico. The adaptable black bear can often be found living in close proximity to people, especially in the northeast.

Random questions from a novice!
Hi all! I'm a novice archer in need of some answers to some simple questions. I'd really appreciate any help you could give, I know some of the people in this forum are really knowledgeable (I've browsed). Just for background, I shoot a 25 lb. bare recurve. It's 66 or 68 inches...a "Mohegan Adult" bow from Greatree Archery. I've had it for about two years and it's doing fine.
1) Is my bow waterproof? I believe it's laminated...it's got a sheen on it. I would guess it is, but obviously I'd like to get a second opinion before I go shoot with it in the rain.
2) I'm thinking of trying to do some bowhunting later on. To my understanding, if you're going to hunt whitetail deer with a bow, you use a compound bow. So I was thinking...if I practice solely with a recurve barebow, will it be very hard for me to accustom to a large draw-weight compound bow with stabilizers and sights and all that? Do people generally make the transition well?
3) How do I know when I have achieved the max draw length or whatever it is called? I mean, if the arrow isn't pulled backward off the shelf, what's stopping me from pulling the string way back past my jaw (assuming I have a good anchor point) for maximum power? I assume it's bad to overdraw the bow, and it somehow results in loss of accuracy or something? I don't get it.
4) Breathing. I've heard different things from different people, and I'm not sure what the 'best' way is. Should I just breathe evenly as I draw and shoot, and pretty much ignore the issue? Should I inhale as I draw, then exhale while releasing tension in my string fingers? Or another method? What do you guys suggest?
Sorry if any of these questions are amazingly naive haha. Any responses would be great!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_shape under other equipment) which will sit against the arrow on the opposite side of the bow from the riser and fall off the end of the arrow and make a clicking sound when the archer reaches full draw and tells them to release the arrow immediatly. This results in the bow producing the same force against the arrow each time and thus a better and more accurate shot. On a compound as the cams turn over you will reach a wall that you cannot pull past any more and that is full draw.

When Naijee Jones dressed for games as a junior with Erial (N.J.) Timber Creek, he was close to a college decision that led him to Rutgers.
Jones picked Rutgers at the end of his junior season. Nine months and a coaching change later, Jones remains one of Rutgers' most vocal commitments.
"A lot of family went into that decision," Jones said. "A lot of advice and thinking went into that decision. Everyone was totally with it, and that didn't change at all once coach [Chris] Ash came on board. The intensity now, the new age is there now. It's a new staff and everyone up there is very intense in what they do."
Jones has his focus on a senior year at Timber Creek, where he plays cornerback, but remains in constant contact with the Rutgers coaching staff.
"I talk to them a lot," Jones said. "Coach Ash and coach [Aaron] Henry, we talk every day. I'm just ready to learn from them every day. … It's exciting that my senior year is here. I'm ready to work and compete for a championship and then I'm off to college."
Jones is focused on his own training camp while reports from other Timber Creek players at Rutgers have him excited about the future.
Rutgers has three Timber Creek players on its roster in defensive ends Quanzell Lambert and Myles Nash and linebacker Tyreek Williams.
"Training camp is hard," Jones said. "My friend [Williams] calls me every day and tells me how hard it is. He's telling me that I better get prepared now."
Scarlet Report spoke with Jones after a quad-scrimmage at Monmouth University. One of his opponents, Camden (N.J.) Woodrow Wilson, is the home of Rutgers cornerback commit Edwin Lopez. Lopez is committed to Rutgers as a cornerback but plays safety as a senior.
"He definitely impressed me," Jones said. "He's a great player, strong, fast, explosive. He's a cool guy too."null

The Biggest Loser: Families
Alison Sweeney, producer dish about 'The Biggest Loser: Families'
By Christopher Rocchio, 08/22/2008
According to
The Biggest Loser
xecutive producer Mark Koops, the show's upcoming sixth season wil be all about family.
"I think as we look to reinvent within the same genre that we work in, one thing that kept coming up in research and feedback and on the message boards and from fans of the show was that it starts at home," Koops told Reality TV World during a Thursday conference call.
"Many of these issues start when you were either a child at home or couples who get married, and they all say the first year they were married they put on 10 pounds, and the second year they put on another 10 pounds -- because they get comfortable and they begin to take it easy. So we really thought both of them brought incredibly interesting dynamics. Family is the key theme throughout the episodes. It's not just that they're related, but we really play the family dynamic throughout the series."
The Biggest Loser
: Families
Tuesday, September 16 at 8PM ET/PT, and host Alison Sweeney -- who also participated in the conference call -- said the reality weight-loss series' sixth installment will begin with "four teams of husbands and wives versus four teams of parents and their children."
"We really wanted to keep it the core family, keep it the nuclear family," Koops told Reality TV World. "I think there's a lot of takeaway for everybody who's watching the show to take back and use it in their own family's lives."
Just because of the show's sixth-season format, Sweeney said she didn't approach the cast any differently than she normally would.
"Every person is on their own journey. So even though they come together as a family, they each have their own experience. So for me, I have to approach it with what's appropriate for that person in that moment," she explained to Reality TV World.
"Each experience and each week is something new and different. That's what's amazing about these relationships that we create when we're there together -- it's such an intense experience for all of them that I'm so happy to be part of it. I feel it's my job to be their biggest cheerleader but also to get at what's going on with them and how their progress is going."
While Sweeney may be taking the same approach, she said family members competing on
The Biggest Loser
are "different" than individual participants.
"Something that strikes my heart very closely is the parents and their kids, and how parents take responsibility for being the role model that brought their child to this point and seeing how they deal with, 'Okay, I'm sort of part of why you're here. I'm part of the problem, now let's both be part of the solution,'" she told reporters. "Obviously emotions run high and feelings go extremely deep in all the people involved."
Koops described
The Biggest Loser
: Families
as a kick in the pants for its participants, and not only when dealing with weight loss.
"It's definitely the way of the show to force them to confront not only their weight issues, but the other issues in their lives," he explained. "I think seeing it play out -- whether it be parent and child or husband and wife -- it really forces them to address their relationships and how they're going to move forward."
Helping the participants move forward will be Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels, who will reprise their trainer roles for the crop of sixth-season contestants.
"I think they're one of televisions great double acts," said Koops. "I think they compliment each other. I think their dedication to the contestants goes far beyond what we could have ever expected, and I think that comes through. I think people really feel that Bob and Jillian are speaking to them even if they're not on the march."
Sweeney added the dedication of Harper, Michaels and the contestants is the part of
The Biggest Loser
that still somehow largely ends up on the cutting room floor despite the show's bloated two-hour broadcasts.
"For me, the part that is most heartbreaking that you don't see -- you see them working out in the gym -- what you don't see is that it's literally six to eight hours a day. There's no way obviously to fit that into a two-hour show. Jillian and Bob, I've known them to stay there until 1AM with the contestants and help them early the next morning," explained Sweeney.
"These contestants, this is their job. It's not just even a job, it's a career that they choose for the four-and-a-half months that they're on campus. While we try to show as much as we can, what you don't see is how comprehensive it is, how intense it is. It just never stops."
After all, not only are the contestants constantly trying to lose weight and live healthy, but they are also competing for the show's $250,000 grand prize.
"I think they always go into it with the motive of wanting to lose weight, wanting to get healthy, wanting to change your life -- you can't subject yourself to something over that period of time without having that goal in mind. But the money is a nice incentive too," said Sweeney. "You don't want to lose. You don't want to go home. You want it. Obviously the money is part of that, but it's the competition -- the spirit of challenge. I think that's what they all embrace and all use to help them lose weight."
Koops described the competition as "one of the unique aspects of the show" because "while the contestants are definitely competitive, they are their own support structures as well."
"Obviously there's elements of game play that come on. I think this season, we found the contestants working really with one goal, and that was to learn how to manage their lives better and how to become healthier," he explained before adding that throwing weigh-ins was specifically something producers are trying to curtail.
"I think the one thing we practiced and preached before this season was play the game hard, but don't play the game with the scale. Do the best you can every week on the scale, and let the game come secondary. The contestants this season really took that to heart."
NBC had
announced in February
The Biggest Loser
sixth season would follow the same "couples" format as the show's fifth installment this past spring. However that plan changed in April when NBC announced the Fall 2008 installment
would be a "family edition"
-- with another season featuring couples instead slated as midseason primetime programming.
"We will definitely revisit it, seeing families in the future. But I think equally with the seasons coming back-to-back -- with the finale of this season being December 16 and the premiere in early January of Season 7 -- we'd like to put a fresh take on it," Koops told Reality TV World about the possibility doing another family edition after next spring's second couples edition.
"But definitely look for families to come back in the future. In terms of story and excitement, the results far exceeded our expectations and hopefully the audience will go on the same incredible journey we've been on with these contestants."
While he didn't outright discredit the idea, Koops also made it clear a season featuring former contestants returning for another go isn't on the immediate horizon.
"I think we look at the hundreds of thousands of people who have wanted to be part of the show," he explained, adding former contestants "would never come in as heavy as they once were."
Sweeney elaborated that former contestants should also already have the tools to live a healthy lifestyle.
"It's just one of those things where we've given you those tools. Whether you choose to live the rest of your life at that goal weight you had at the finale, or you choose to allow it to even out at some other clothes size or whatever it is," she said.
"We're not here to tell you what your ideal weight is or what you should look like because that's not what our show's about. Our show's about getting you healthy and giving you the tools you need to live the rest of your life in a healthy way that you're okay with."
Sweeney and her husband David Sanov are also preparing for the
birth of their second child
in January, however the host is hoping it won't impact her
The Biggest Loser
"I'm definitely planning on working as much as I can all the way up through until the last minute. Mark always teases me because I'm extremely optimistic about how long I'll be able to stay," she said. "A lot of it is because I'm such a fan. I love being there with them, I love seeing their progress."
While she's an optimist, Sweeney quickly added she's also a realist.
"Obviously Mark and the network had to prepare," she said. "I'll be MIA for a portion of it and they have plans for that."

7. "That greeny flower" in a William Carlos Williams poem : ASPHODEL
William Carlos Williams was somewhat unique as a poet, in that he also worked full time as a pediatrician and general practitioner. Williams was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, and never gave up his medical practice even when he earned recognition in the world of literature.
"Asphodel, That Greeny Flower" is a lengthy love poem by William Carlos Williams, published in 1955 in an anthology of his verses called "Journey to Love".
Asphodel is a perennial herb, found everywhere on the Catalan coast of Spain. In Greek mythology, the asphodel was believed to be the favored food of the dead, so was found in abundance on the plains of Hades, the Greek underworld.
15. Husband of Denmark's Queen Margrethe : HENRIK
Magrethe II has been the Queen of Denmark since 1972. When she was born, the oldest of three girls, it was assumed she would never take up the throne, as Danish law dictated that only makes could be monarch. As women gained more rights in the country, there was a movement to change the constitution, culminating in a referendum in 1953 allowing Magrethe to fulfill her destiny.
Count Henri de Laborde de Monpezat is the husband of Queen Magrethe II of Denmark. The Count was a French diplomat, and at the time of the marriage, his name "Henri" was Danicised to "Henrik". Henri also converted from Roman Catholicism to Protestantism prior to the wedding.

20. Carol king : WENCESLAS
What a cleverly worded clue!
"Good King Wenceslas" is one of my favorite Christmas carols. The main character in the carol is based on Saint Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia. The lyrics were written by Englishman John Mason Neale, using a Scandinavian tune. That's quite a cultural mix, but it seems to work!
22. Wartime bridge builder : SEABEE
The Seabees are members of the Construction Battalions (CB) of the US Navy, from which the name "Seabee" originates. There's a great 1944 movie called "The Fighting Seabees" starring John Wayne, that tells the story of the birth of the Seabees in WWII.
25. Sargasso Sea spawner : EEL
The Sargasso Sea, an area within the Atlantic Ocean, is famous for being home to many species of Sargassum, the algae floating on the surface that gives the area its name.

32. El Misti's location : PERU
El Misti is also known as Guaga-Putina, and lies in Southern Peru near the city of Arequipa.
33. Limited release : PAROLE
The term "parole" is a French word that we use, with the French "parole" meaning "word, speech". In particular there is the French phrase "parole d'honneur" which translates as "word of honor". In the early 1600s we started using "parole" to mean a promise by a prisoner of war not to escape, as in the prisoner giving his word of honor not to run off. Over time, parole has come to mean conditional release of a prisoner before the full term of a sentence has been served. Interesting, eh?
40. Crack : ADEPT
Someone who is a "crack" marksman, for example, is an "adept" marksman.
41. Tibiae : SHINS
The tibia is larger of the two bones below the knee, and is the strongest weight-bearing bone in the human body. "Tibia" is Roman name for the Greek flute called an "aulos". It is thought that the shin bone was given the name "tibia" because often flutes were fashioned out of the shin bones of animals.
44. Ambulance chaser's prize : CLIENT
An "ambulance chaser", a derogatory term for a lawyer. But then again, I thought "lawyer" was a derogatory term in itself ... just kidding!!!!!!!!
45. The Fighting Tigers, for short : LSU
The LSU Tigers are the sports teams of Louisiana State University, officially known as the Fightin' Tigers, with the school mascot of "Mike the Tiger". The name comes from the days of the Civil War, when two Louisiana brigades earned the nickname the "Louisiana Tigers".
46. Item first marketed under the name Snurfer : SNOWBOARD
The snowboard hasn't been around all that long. The first one was introduced in 1968, and was called a "Snurfer", short for a "snow surfer". The snurfer was a simple board, with no bindings.
48. She won three Grammys for her 1989 album "Nick of Time" : RAITT
Bonnie Raitt is a blues singer, originally from Burbank, California. She has one nine Grammies for her work, but she is perhaps as well known for her political activism as she is for her music. She was no fan of President George W. Bush, and she sure did show it.
50. What phorid flies are imported to prey on : FIRE ANTS
Fire ants are stinging ants. Most stinging ants bite their prey and then spray acid on the wound. The fire ant, however, bites to hold on, and then injects an alkaloid venom from its abdomen, creating a burning sensation in humans that have been nipped.
One genus of phorid fly is being looked at to control fire ant populations in the South. Bizarrely, this fly lays its eggs on the thorax of the fire ant. The eggs develop into larvae that migrate to the head of the ant, where the larvae then feed on the brain and muscle in the head. The resulting brainless ants just wander around aimlessly for two weeks, at which point the head falls off. The larvae then continues development in the detached head for two weeks before emerging as a mature fly. The stuff of horror movies, I'd say ...
51. Green stuff : DO RE MI
Do re mi is a slang term for cash.
55. Oktoberfest souvenirs : STEINS
Oktoberfest is a 16-day beer festival in Munich that actually starts in September. About six million people attend every year, making it the largest fair in the world. I've been there twice ... it is a great party ...
1. Given a raw deal, slangily : SHAFTED
"Shafted" isn't a nice term at all. It means to give someone a raw deal. The term arose in the fifties, playing on the vulgar slang usage of shaft to represent the penis (a usage that has been around since the early 1700s). The use of the verb "shaft" therefore is a reference to sodomy. We should stop using that term, I think.
2. Popular rat-baiting dog in Victorian England : TERRIER
Terriers were bred as small, wiry and fearless dogs. They were originally used to control infestations of rats, rabbits and foxes. The terriers would chase their prey over and under the ground. The name "terrier" reflects their hunting behavior, as it comes via French from the Latin word "terra" meaning "earth".
4. ___ Blücher (forbidding "Young Frankenstein" character) : FRAU
Frau Blücher was played by the zany Cloris Leachman in the Mel Brooks classic, "Young Frankenstein". You may recall that every time Frau Blücher's name was mentioned, any horse within earshot would be terrified. Leachman auditioned for a reprise of the Blücher role in the stage production of "Young Frankenstein" in 2007. She didn't get the part, as Mel Brooks thought she was just too old to play it. He said "We don't want her to die on stage" ...
7. They reproduce via mitosis : AMOEBAS
Mitosis is the process by which the chromosomes in a cell nucleus replicates and then divides into two identical sets of chromosomes. Mitosis is followed by division of the cell itself, resulting in two identical cells.
8. ___ cake (marzipan-covered dessert) : SIMNEL
Simnel cake is similar to Christmas, and is eaten at Easter in Britain and Ireland (except in my house, I guess, because I'd never heard of it!).
9. Follow the leader? : PLACE
A horse, say, that comes in second or third in a race is said to have "placed".
10. A leveret is a young one : HARE
Hares belong to the genus lepos, and young hares, that are under one-year-old, are called leverets.
11. Bruce Springsteen ballad : ONE STEP UP

13. Catalán relative : ESPANOL
Catalán is a Romance language spoken in parts of Spain, along with the official Spanish language (Espanol).
27. Pete Dexter novel whose title character is an unrepentant murderer : PARIS TROUT
Peter Dexter's novel "Paris Trout" was adapted for the big screen in 1991. The title role is played by Dennis Hopper. Trout is an unrepentant racist in 1949 Georgia. He murders the sister of a black man who refuses to pay him money that he is owed, and is outraged when he finds that he arrested for the crime.
29. It sometimes covers first-time performers : FLOP SWEAT
Flop sweat: heavy perspiration caused by embarrassment, originally from the world of theater, perspiration caused the fear of a poor opening night.
30. Singer Rimes : LEANN
LeAnn Rimes has been a country music star since she was 13 years old. In 2008 she disclosed publicly that she suffered from the autoimmune disease psoriasis.

34. Base found in DNA and RNA : ADENINE
Nucleobases are molecules that from part of DNA and RNA chains. It is the sequence of these bases in the DNA chain that makes up the so-called "genetic code". In DNA the four bases are Adenine, Guanine, Thymine and Cytosine. The same bases are found in RNA, except that Thymine is replaced by Uracil.
36. Seeking relief from a pitcher? : THIRSTY
Lovely, ambiguous wording ...
37. Composer who tutored Mozart's son : SALIERI
If you've seen the brilliant 1984 movie "Amadeus", you'll have seen Salieri portrayed as being very envious and resentful of the gifted Mozart. It is no doubt true that two composers fought against each other, at least on occasion, but the extent of the acrimony between the two has perhaps been exaggerated in the interest of theater. Mozart and his wife had six children, but only two survived infancy. The youngest boy was called Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart, born just five months before his father died. Franz was to become a gifted composer, teacher, pianist and conductor, helped along the way by lessons from his father's supposed rival, Antonio Salieri.
38. Roll film inventor : EASTMAN
George Eastman founded the Eastman Kodak Company, named after the Kodak camera that he had invented four years earlier. He came up with the name of Kodak after careful consideration. Firstly he was a big fan of the letter "K", calling is "string, incisive". He also wanted a word that short, easy to pronounce and difficult to mispronounce, and a word that was clearly unique with no prior associations. Kodak fit the bill for Eastman.
44. Kind of line : CONGA
The conga line is a dance that originated as a Cuban carnival march. It became popular in the US starting in the thirties. The dance is apparently named after the Congo region of Africa, and was originated by slaves who were brought to Cuba from Africa.
49. Michelangelo work : ARTE
Michelangelo was very gifted in many areas, including painting, sculpture, architecture, poetry and even engineering. Of all the disciplines in which he worked, he had little regard for painting. Well, despite his attitude, he created one of the most influential works in fresco in the world, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican.
51. Salon selections : DOS
In a hair salon, one selects a hair-do.

A place
Steven stood still, examining his scar in the mirror. He grimaced as he remembered the sharp pain of a force palm to the face. He stared up at the dreary black ceiling. He hated this place, all black and white. No color at all. No life at all. But that part was fine with him. He hated anything grass type. He couldn't wait to get out of this place. A message blared,
"Phase One of the E8 Project commences today. Please proceed according to plan."
He sighed, and moved out of his room. He walked down the dreary, black, hallway. He saw a man in a big suit walk by. The man sneered at him, and he smiled back, keeping on his mask of neutrality. The man pushed by him violently. Steven turned around and stared at him, searching for any ticks. The man stared back and pulled out a Pokeball, "Do you want to fight?" Steven noticed the side of his mouth twitching. He turned around and walked toward the room. "Get back here!" The man cried. Steven entered the room. He saw a girl return a Roselia, and he kept his face blank, but sneered inside. He walked over to the table.
He put his hand on each Pokeball, feeling for which was the coldest. One felt very cold, and he pulled it out. He threw on the floor, and a Sneasel popped out. The Pokeball flew right back into his hand. He looked at the Sneasel, and smiled. A small smile, but one none the less. It would fit his plan perfectly. The Sneasel grinned up at him. "Hello there." He kneeled down to Sneasel's level. Sneasel rubbed its shoulders, as if it was cold, which is strange, as ice types are cold, but don't feel cold. "Show me your moves." Sneasel obeyed, and sent of a bubble of hearts, and Steven suddenly felt draw to, her? Was it a her? Sneasel next put up its claws, and metal spikes grew out of them. Steven jumped back in awe, as he was still under the affects of Attract. Sneasel then glowed and ran very quickly in circles, using agility. Steven was slightly less impressed, but still loved it. Finally, Sneasel used Icy Wind, a cold wash of air blowing over Steven, but it stopped as soon as it started, and Sneasel sneezed. Steven stared at Sneasel confused, "What's wrong girl?" Sneasel stared up at him in apology. Steven thought for a moment, "I'll call you... Sonara, after my mother."
Sonara and Steven walked over to the girl with the Roselia. He stared at her Pokeball and asked, "Is that Roselia yours?"

Must a facility perform all the required QC testing on a laser printer even if the facility is using only soft copy for final interpretation and is using the printer only to provide final interpretation quality hard copy images to patients, their representatives, and health-care providers or for retention purposes? If not, is the facility subject to citation during an MQSA inspection?
Yes to both questions. Even if a facility is using the printer only for these purposes and never actually provides a final interpretation report based on the hard copy images, it still must perform all the required printer QC tests at their appropriate frequencies or, prior to printing clinical images for patients and health-care providers or for retention, whichever is less.
Because of a misunderstanding in the professional community regarding QC testing in these situations, we have not universally enforced this requirement. However, this guidance serves to clarify this matter and those facilities that fail to perform the required QC testing after July 1, 2007 will be subject to citation.

"For our August wedding, we have collected over 150 vintage glasses for our guests to drink their cocktails out of. We are inviting them to take the glasses home, and wanted a way of letting the caterers decipher between what goes back to the rental company and what stays. These stickers are perfect for the bottom of the glasses and they match our wedding invitations and color scheme."
"Beautiful stickers that I used to seal my pocket fold with wedding invitations inside. Guests thought it was a great touch!"
"I can't say enough good things about these tags, which will look so beautiful on our wedding favours. The designer did a beautiful job and made the requested changes quickly and perfectly. The quality was amazing. 10/10!!!"
"These adhesive gift tags added such a beautiful and personal touch to my shower gift favours! Great delivery speed! Highly recommended!"
"Although before we bought we thought it was a tag, printed in a hard paper, the product is beautiful and worth the purchase."

Jordan's King Abdullah has held secret talks with Israeli leaders in Amman and asked them to refrain from a large-scale incursion into the Gaza Strip, Israeli press reports said on Thursday. Israel Radio said an official source confirmed Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defence Minister Ehud Barak travelled secretly to Jordan where Abdullah told them he was concerned such violence could cause trouble for Jordan. He urged the Israeli leaders not to launch a large-scale military operation in the Gaza Strip.
Israel has said it will not tolerate rocket fire from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.
