|Hey Londoners! We have a visitor in town that's itching to shoot London at night, and heck I'm still a rookie here as well so that's all the reason I need to call a photo stroll! It's like a photo walk, just a bit smaller scale. We'll meet up at the Westminster Pier just outside of the Westminster Tube Station at 8pm, take a few bridge / parliament shots and slowly make our way towards Covent Garden enjoying the fun and hectic Friday street photography. We'll probably end the evening with a pint or two in a local pub. Everyone's super welcome, wether you're a seasoned photog, prefer a camera phone, or even just want to go for a walk through London with us - we're friendly folks so there's no reason not to go. Looking forward to seeing you there!

I'm trying to fight a battle.
The urge of going back to Norway is on me...
While I try to fight this I went back to check my photos from last year. This one was taken in Geiranger - a beautiful spot on the Norwegian fjords. After driving down the road me and my friend took a boat trip and saw some amazing waterfalls...

I have a few more photos taken in Castellaneta (a small town in the south of Italy "Puglia"). This is the first I'm sharing from my last trip there.
This was taken in the old part of the town where cars are not allowed (well except for some local residents that still uses these little 3 wheels cars).

I was commissioned a photo for the Crossrail lobby in Canary Wharf back in October.
It was installed over last night and I'm pleased to show you a quick one taken with my phone.
The image is now my personal record for size of the print. It measures 18mt wide and 3mt high!
My previous record was for the photo in the private dining room at the Sky Garden in London.
I took the photo with my +Nikon Europe D810 - stitched and edited in +Adobe Photoshop CS
Below are a couple of photos taken with my mobile that shows the massive scale of this!
Soon I will share some detailed photos of the original image.

I did not take a stroll around London for a while so having finally a day off I've decided to grab my camera and walk with no destination.
During the walk I passed many interesting landmarks but my favourite spot of the day must be the one below.
It shows Southwark bridge with the Shard in the background.
You just have to love this city, so photogenic.

I have not been posting on Google+ for quite a while I know.
I have not stopped taking photos though...
I'm on my way back to the UK and while waiting for my flight I can share with you this photo I took in tenerife a couple of days ago.
I was in position for the sunset but sadly the sun quickly disappeared behind clouds. I still like the way it turned out.
I used a graduated ND filter and a 10 stop ND filter so this is a long exposure photo. The filters are from +Formatt-Hitech and for me are essential for landscape/seascape photography.
Taken with +Nikon USA D810 and the fantastic 14-24 lens.

What can I say? I'm so happy to see many of my Crossrail photos printed big and exhibited in a gallery at the new Crossrail Place in Canary Wharf.
If you happen to be there have a look. There are many interesting photos of how it was built as well (not mine though).

If I was living near a lake like this I would probably buy a canoe and row during my spare time. I was taking photos when 2 people passed by on their canoe. I have many photos without them from the same spot but I think they add so much to the photo that this is my chosen photo from the series.
Taken in Derwentater at the Lake District in Cumbria (UK).

Buttermere lake at the lake district from my recent trip over Easter.
This photo is made out of 3 photos stitched together to create a panoramic one. All handheld as I didn't have the tripod with me that evening. I wish I had though. I really wanted to do some long exposure with those clouds moving around the fell!
This is just before sunset.

I'm so excited to see my work displayed on a massive scale at the Vynoly Room at the Sky Garden in London (The Walkie Talkie building). This is the private dining room inside Fenchurch Seafood Bar & Grill.
I was commissioned the work through a design agency ( o1 Creative) on behalf of their client (Rhubarb).
This massive photo resulted in 47 photos stitched together to create a giant panoramic skyline of London (I will share the photo very soon). The total Photoshop file was 14GB and the JPG alone was 500MB. This is the biggest file I've ever worked on for a photo!
The photos were all taken with my +Nikon USA D810 and the 70-200 f.2.8 lens.

Morning everyone.
Some of you might have noticed I was at the Lake District during Easter. It was my first time there and was very pleased with it. Definitely a place you need a lot of time if you want to visit and photograph everything.
The photo below is from Derwentwater (or Derwent water). It's a lake just off Keswick town.
It was taken during a foggy morning with ND filters to get a long exposure (61 seconds to be precise).
Edited as usual with #lightroom and taken with my +Nikon USA D810

"One day we will look at the summer of 2011 as the time when the public key infrastructure (PKI) collapsed," Mike Fratto writes. The Dutch Certificate Authority (CA), DigiNotar, issued at least 531 false certificates for domains from Google to Facebook. The response has been immediate and intense: revoking all DigiNotar signatures.
The ComodoHacker, who is an ideologically-driven Iranian, takes credit for the breach. Allegedly, this is ComodoHacker's second feat this year, the first being the Comodo CA in March when false certificates were obtained for Google, Yahoo, Skype, and other major websites. Fox-IT's report (PDF) links the hacker to Iran and suggests the objective was to intercept secure communications in Iran.
Mike Fratto's article puts into perspective the massive implications of the breach, even if we know who the hacker and intended targets were. The Tor Project posted a list of all 531 rogue certs signed by DigiNotar.
In immediate response to these rogue certs being discovered, Firefox, Chrome, Apple, Microsoft, and Ubuntu each revoked all of DigiNotar's certificates. The intensity of the reaction reflects the severity of what happened.
GlobalSign, another CA halted operations as a precaution, but it appears there are no signs of false certificates having been issued. Although a false certificate can really only be exploited by a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, which is difficult, the enormous value of being able to listen on secure channels to email providers and other major websites is enough to give hackers the drive to do so.
ZDNet has an outstanding article on TLS/SSL that explains how the PKI system works. The events that have taken place are certainly a major blow to the public key system, but it is currently the best system available. In time, it will improve and adapt to the incredibly fast-changing network we live on.

(The Hosting News) – Amid continued conflict, online access in the middle-eastern country of Syria appears to once again have been shut down.
Security firm Renesys reported through its blog on Thursday that all of the country's 84 IP address blocks had turned unresponsive.
Despite the purported downtime, not everything in the country was down. Some networks appeared up and running via what Renesys said were traceroutes.
Syria's internet stability has been questionable in the recent past.
"It has been a crazy year for Syrian Internet transit arrangements, most recently with the loss of Deutsche Telekom as a transit provider earlier this month," Renesys stated via its blog post.
In June of last year, the same security firm reported Sryia's internet had been restored following a number of anti-government protests. During that time, nearly two-thirds of the country's networks had been become unreachable.
Renesys, however, wasn't the only security firm to report on the most recent outage. Akamai also reported similar results, according to the BBC.
Syria has been facing an ongoing civil war since March of last year in which current President Bashar al-Assad's regime has face considerable opposition for not implementing political reforms.

HHID3: Hip-Hop Isn't Dead 3
Written by Joe Langham.
HHID1 + HHID2 + English Frank Live in Leeds
In 2006, Nas proclaimed that hip-hop was dead. In 2013, scores of artists have been coming together for a series of live shows to prove that hip-hop music is still very much alive. These shows are proudly called Hip-Hop Isn't Dead. On its third night, Hip-Hop Isn't Dead has already been upgraded to a larger venue, The Garage in Islington. The line-up combined some of the biggest acts from the first two nights such as Genesis Elijah and Black the Ripper and welcomed some new faces from around the UK including Northern duo Leddie and Smoggy.

Hip-Hop Isnt Dead Review
Written by Joe Langham (@JoeLang92)
Hip-Hop Isn't Dead truly lived up to its name putting on a memorable show of some of the UKs finest rappers. English Frank put together a massive line up, both in names and size, which included talent like Skinnyman, Klashnekoff and organiser behind the Hip-Hop mini-fest, English Frank. The setting, Brixton Jamm, despite being on a main road had the feel of being underground, which was rather fitting for the night.
Reveal, the former Poisonous Poets member, opened the night with a selection of acapellas and a couple of songs from his back catalogue. His solid flow over old school beats helped warm up the crowd for the night of real Hip-Hop ahead.

The London-based rap artist displays his lyrical skills over piano-driven beat, and the video is a scary affair of urban London at it's worst. English Frank also shouts out some classic U.S Hip-Hop music he listened to as a youth towards the end of the track.

The Forward Premium of Euro Interest Rates
We show that euro forward rates are biased predictors of future interest rates. A small part of this bias arises from unexpected changes in interest rates, while a larger part is explained by the forward premia, which are generally not time-varying. We estimate the the 3-month forward premia for different horizons using forecasts of yields obtained with the Diebold and Li (2006) approach, extended by the inclusion of macroeconomic variables. Confidence intervals for the estimates are computed using a novel bootstrap approach. When using German data for the period before 1999, we detect a break in the dynamic correlation between yield factors, implying that estimates of the euro forward premium using pre-euro data are biased. Although the forward premia of horizons up to 36 months are on average positive, their confidence intervals indicate that they are significantly equal to zero in some periods of time. They are also positively correlated with the ECB policy rate and with a measure of the market perception that future interest rates could be higher than expected.

Hunt for owner of 'nervous' llama
A llama found wandering the countryside on Tuesday is being cared for by animal welfare officers, who are looking for his owners.
The adult male camelid was said to be anxious but in good health when it was found on a farmer's field in Hough, Cheshire.
He was cared for overnight by farmers Malcolm and Julie Cox before being handed over to the RSPCA.
Mrs Cox said: "I was gob smacked when I saw him. He had just wandered on to one of our fields.
"He was a little agitated and nervous but other than that seemed fine."
'Jumped out'
RSPCA inspector Roy Jones said the animal might have simply escaped but more "sinister possibilities" had not been ruled out.
He said: "This is obviously a very unusual animal to be brought to our attention but initial inquiries have failed to locate his owner.
"The British Llama and Alpaca Association has checked with all of its members in Cheshire but none has lost a llama.
"There are several possibilities behind what has happened.
"There is a chance that somebody was transporting the llama and he jumped out, or he could have strayed.
Private collections
"However, there are more sinister possibilities that the animal may have been dumped or stolen.
"We are keeping an open mind."
Domestic llamas are native to South America and descended from wild guanacos, which were domesticated more than 6,000 years ago.
There are said to be hundreds of llamas in private collections in the UK.
The animal was today being looked after by a member of the British Llama and Alpaca Association, who will keep it if it is not claimed.

From Guru Satsang ( Finding God - Diksha con or Grace))
Expand Messages
- Finding God is not possible without the commitment of the
Heart ........
Finding God is not possible until the way of God becomes
foremost ......
Finding God is not possible as long as one holds to their
meager lives of "I" want - "I" need - "I" must have ----
for this is not a humble seeker of God but an Ego that asserts
itself and wants rather than surrendering to God's Loving and
Giving Nature.......
Knowing God is not possible ---- as long as you hold onto
existing as an entity separate ....... for it takes a leaving you as
body - form - mind - emotions and self on the sacrificial altar
which is slain ------ only Primal Essense remains which IS .......
it is no longer a something ....... Then only God IS ------- ONE
------- never more to be an island of division ......
Stillness IS ...... Peace IS ....... does witnessing remain ?
from this Stillness all Proceeds and whirls around like a storm
whirls around the eye ..........
There is seeing like a mirror reflects an image ...... but the
image is not sought ........
There is hearing as a movement of Silence and Stillness which
gains form like the wave on the surface of the sea .........
but one cannot say there is a self that perceives actively ....... no
conditioned island remains that chases - holds - or needs - or
desires with aversions or holdings ...........
Self remains as Seer yet it comes unbidden as it will .........
without holding or sustaining is simply Bliss ........ without
seeking or aversion is simply Stillness which all else proceeds
around.......... Motion happens ------ it is seen ------ like a cog in
the vast mechanism called the Universe is the form ----- it
moves and yet there is no connection to its limitation..........
Consciousness has no limitational form attached ...... form has
now become simply another reflection on the mirror of Being.......
not being a something ------ for all some things are simply the
Vast Essence in motion which shows up as a wave yet forever
Ocean it IS ........ what is a wave but a divisionary name placed
upon a motion of IS...........
is it manipulation to offer an opening door or a key to unlock this
great Mystery which remains ever the Divine Mystery which is the
Liberation of Nothing to be liberated from ? is that
manipulation or the descent of Grace ? your limitational eyes
see only a form ....... and to you it is the form you are interacting
with ......... in this you judge most wrongly ........ there is no
manipulating God nor conning the universe into playing your
game of MY Wants ----- My Desires ------ My Needs .......
for in seeking those above God you have simply let go of the ever
present Source of all supply and Life ......... and for what ?
to hold onto the dream of the moment which is fleeting in nature
and like the sands of time in an hour glass it is falling away into
the Ocean of Nothingness which holds the Whole of
Wake UP .......... Only Love of the ONE ----- within the ONE ----
does not come and go .......... the rest is a reflection ---- another
dream ........ another story ........ another story line ......... another
drama which keeps you away from the ONE Love which does not
come nor go ----- which permeates and sustains ------ which
Creates and then pulls Creation back into its Self .........
in letting go of the drama for God you sacrifice nothing ...... there
was never anything to lose for it was never owned........
hahahahahahaha can you understand this ? perhaps not .......
for it is not an understanding at all ........... but a Living and
Breathing Truth which IS...............
i welcome you with great love ........
shanti om Om Namo Narayana s.g.

Dukes Hotel
Westminster, London, Greater London
Dukes Hotel is a pricey, prestigious 90-room boutique delivering an updated take on classic English luxury. It's quietly opulent and features plenty of special boutique amenities, such as a cognac and cigar garden, and a Drawing Room where traditional afternoon tea is served. The most notable feature, however, is Dukes Bar, once frequented by James Bond creator Ian Fleming, and the birthplace of the famous "Shaken, not stirred" line. (The bar is, naturally, famous for its martinis -- but note that there's a strict dress code.)

I realize that I lost some disk space after I updated from 3.0 to 3.0.1 and rejailbroke.
I expected all the Cydia apps to be wiped out by the firmware update and the associated disk space be freed up.
However, my free disk space remained the same after rejailbreaking.
So, I logged in via SSH to do some investigation.
I see that /Applications is now pointing to /Applications.<some_random_characters>; it was pointing to /var/stash/Applications.pwn.
And surprisingly, the original Applications.pwn is still there.
Not only the old Applications is there, all other directories that are under /var/stash (e.g. Ringtones, Wallpapers, include, libexec, etc) have two instances as well.
I tried to move some Cydia apps from the original Application.pwn directory to the new one and they open up fine and even remember my previous settings.
I don't know if the apps works 100% though since I think some required files in other directories (e.g. /System) may not be there.
Also, Cydia doesn't know the relocated apps exist, so they don't show up in Cydia, which mean I won't get any updates notifications.
So, I think this may not be a good idea for backing up Cydia apps for firmware update.
To move on, I can just re-install all my Cydia apps manually and removed the old Applications.pwn and all other old directories. But I just want to see if anyone knows if this is normal or what steps should be taken when rejailbreaking in order to avoid getting those duplicate directories.

NEW PORT RICHEY — At least one Buccaneers losing streak ended this weekend.
Gulf (4-4, 1-4) needed only 13 offensive plays in the first quarter to build a 22-0 lead over Anclote (0-7, 0-5) and broke a four-game skid with a 48-6 victory Friday night.
During those first 13 plays, Buccaneers running back Madison Burr had 141 yards rushing on eight carries. He finished the night with 168 yards and two touchdowns, plus he caught three passes for 63 yards.
William Burbridge added 89 yards on nine carries and Alphonso Blanch had 87 yards on 10 carries. They both had two rushing touchdowns.
"Our plan all week was to run the ball," coach Jay Fulmer said. "Everyone kind of got in on the act early."
Anclote running back Kris Aratchiysky had a slow start with 41 yards rushing in the first half, but a 63-yard run in the third quarter helped improve his stats. He finished with 134 yards on 22 carries and set up a 4-yard touchdown run by Travis Hendrix, who also had two receptions for 66 yards.
Fulmer said he was concerned about Aratchiysky's running ability but gave his defense credit. He said he never imagined his Gulf defense would hold Aratchiysky as well as it did.
"I never dreamed that this game would be like this," Fulmer said. "This was the first time we have ever had a four-game losing streak since I've been here, so it feels pretty good to get off that wagon."

Sprint, Japan's Softbank discuss major investment
Sprint Nextel Corp. said it's in talks with Softbank Corp. for a "substantial" investment from the Japanese carrier, potentially shifting the balance of power in the U.S. telecommunications industry.
Softbank, Japan's third-largest mobile-phone company, is seeking control of Sprint, based in Overland Park, Kan., according to two people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. Softbank, based in Tokyo, also plans to buy MetroPCS Communications Inc. through Sprint, Japan's Nikkei newspaper reported.
The Japanese company would provide much-needed financial support for Sprint as the third-largest carrier in the United States tries to compete with bigger rivals Verizon Wireless and AT&T. Sprint would give Softbank a base for entering the U.S. market with a compatible carrier via its joint venture with Clearwire Corp., said Jennifer Fritzsche, an analyst at Wells Fargo.
Sprint "represents the only way for a potential new entrant to get a national presence immediately in the U.S.," Fritzsche wrote in a report. Softbank and Clearwire, a wholesale U.S. wireless carrier that is partially owned by Sprint, use airwaves in the same frequency and the same TDD LTE variant of network technology.
Yesterday, people familiar with the situation said Sprint was holding off on an immediate counterbid for MetroPCS to gain time to scrutinize Deutsche Telekom AG's planned combination with T-Mobile USA. Nikkei earlier said Softbank is in talks to acquire the Sprint stake for more than $19 billion, without saying where it got the information.
The deal could involve Softbank taking a stake of as much as 75 percent of Sprint, said one of the people familiar with the talks. Softbank may also help Sprint buy full control of Clearwire, though no decision on that step has been made, one of the people said.
A transaction could create an operator financially strong enough to eventually bid for the assets T-Mobile USA is trying to combine with MetroPCS, said a person familiar with Softbank's plans, declining to be identified.
Clearwire soared 71 percent to $2.22 at the close in New York, while MetroPCS fell 3.3 percent to $11.64. Sprint jumped 14 percent to $5.76. The stock has more than doubled this year, giving Sprint a market value of $17.3 billion.
In a statement confirming talks with Softbank, Sprint said it couldn't assure a transaction would occur and didn't provide any other details. Softbank said on its website it won't comment on Sprint. MetroPCS also declined to comment.
Sprint and Softbank are still negotiating over price, said one of the people familiar with the matter. While a price of about $6.50 per share for Sprint has been discussed, no specific price has yet been reached, the person said.
Sprint holds 48 percent of Clearwire, based in Bellevue, Wash., which represents both its voting shares and its ownership stake, Mike DiGioia, a spokesman for Clearwire, said in an e-mail. He declined to comment on Softbank.
Softbank's investment in Sprint would include buying out some holders of publicly traded Sprint shares and supplying Sprint directly with capital, one person said. Sprint could use the capital to build its LTE network, said this person.
Sprint started service using the faster technology called LTE, or long-term evolution, in July in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Kansas City, with plans to add more this year to catch up with its larger competitors. Verizon Wireless, which had a one-year head start on the upgrades, has the service in about 340 cities.
Softbank is working with lenders on how much it will need to borrow for the deal, trying to minimize how much its credit rating may be downgraded, said one of the people familiar with the matter. Moody's Investors Service upgraded Softbank's debt to investment grade last year, and Standard & Poor's rates it two levels above investment grade after an upgrade in January. Both have junk ratings on Sprint debt.
The Japanese carrier, which has a market value of about $40 billion, may sell new shares to finance the deal, said Makoto Kikuchi, chief executive officer at Myojo Asset Management Japan Co., a Tokyo-based hedge fund advisory firm.
Softbank, the fastest-growing Japanese mobile-phone provider, was the first carrier in Japan to offer Apple Inc.'s iPhone. That helped it boost earnings by more than sevenfold during the past four years and close the gap with larger NTT DoCoMo Inc. and KDDI Corp.
Softbank may be looking toward the United States because it doesn't have as many alternatives in faster-growing developing countries, which typically limit foreign investment, said Yoshihisa Toyosaki, a Tokyo-based analyst with Architect Grand Design, an electronics research and consulting company.
"Softbank is trying to take advantage of the economic turmoil in the U.S. to buy a majority stake in a carrier," he said. "This represents an opportunity for them."

2. CafePress
YTD Return: -72%
Date of IPO: 03/28/12
CafePress (NASDAQ:PRSS) operates a website that allows users to design their own products, like mugs, caps and even iPhone covers. It's a cool service, and the company shipped 7.8 million items in 2011.
The problem? Well, CafePress was betting on substantial demand for presidential election items. But as seen in its fiscal Q2, there was not much interest in Romney and Obama mugs. The company's outlook for Q3 was for revenues of $42.5 million to $45 million. The Street, on the other hand, was forecasting $50 million. On the news, the stock price plunged over 40%.

The Role of Mitoxantrone in Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
The Role of Mitoxantrone in Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
The treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
(NHL) continues to be imperfect. With incidence increasing and the chance of
cure at less than 50%, an improved understanding of NHL is needed, including
which patients will benefit most from various treatments.[1] The American Cancer
Society estimates that 53,900 new cases of NHL will be diagnosed in 2002, and
24,400 related deaths will occur. Both the incidence and mortality of NHL have
been rising since the 1970s. Overall, survival rates are suboptimal, with 1-year
survivals of 70% and 5-year survivals of only 51%.[2,3]
The ongoing effort to better understand NHL is reflected by the
multiple modifications made to NHL classification systems over the past
2 decades. The World Health Organization (WHO) classification system is the
most recently developed and is in line to replace the existing Working
Formulation and Kiel classification systems.[4,5] The WHO classification
reflects improvements in the understanding of the immune system, and is based on
several factors, including histology, immune phenotype, genetic abnormalities,
and clinical features.[6]
Mitoxantrone (Novantrone) is a cytotoxic anthracenedione,
similar in structure to anthracyclines such as doxorubicin.[6] It inhibits
topoisomerase II,
interferes with RNA, and intercalates with DNA (resulting in strand breaks and
cross-links)all of which lead to cell death. Mitoxantrone is not cell-cycle
specific.[6,7] It was developed in the 1970s as a more tolerable alternative to
anthracyclines.[8] Early research established its activity alone and in
combination with other chemotherapy agents against breast cancer, leukemia, and
lymphoma. More recent studies have demonstrated its activity in the treatment of
prostate cancer and in slowing the progression of multiple sclerosis.[7,8]
Specifically, the activity of mitoxantrone has been established
against both follicular lymphomas and aggressive lymphomas, including diffuse
large-cell lymphomas. In preliminary studies of follicular lymphoma,
mitoxantrone at 14 to 18 mg/m² every 3 to 4 weeks yielded responses in
previously treated patients (including those who had received doxorubicin), with
complete response rates ranging from 6% to 16% and partial response rates from
38% to 56%.[9-11] Previously untreated patients with follicular lymphoma had
slightly higher response rates, with a complete response rate of 29% and a
partial response rate of 67%.[12]
Patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive lymphoma
responded to lower doses of mitoxantrone (12 to 14 mg/m² every 3 to 4 weeks).
The complete response rate ranged from 0% to 30% and the partial response rate,
from 12% to 63%. Some of these patients had received previous treatment with
doxorubicin.[9,10,13-16] This review will evaluate the current use of
mitoxantrone in NHL, paying special attention to dose as it relates to outcome.
What Doses of Mitoxantrone and Anthracyclines Are Comparable?
Determining the optimal dose of mitoxantrone in NHL leads to a
related question: What is the comparable dose of mitoxantrone and doxorubicin
for use in NHL? The relevance of the question stems from the widespread use of
doxorubicin in combination therapy for NHL, the high level of activity of both
doxorubicin and mitoxantrone in NHL, and the fact that mitoxantrone is closely
related to the anthracyclines pharmacologically.
Posner et al reported that in early comparative trials of
mitoxantrone and doxorubicin in breast cancer, a 5:1 ratio of doxorubicin to
mitoxantrone was chosen based on data suggesting that this ratio would yield
equally myelosuppressive doses of the drugs. Thus, when comparing CNF
(cyclophosphamide [Cytoxan, Neosar], mitoxantrone [Novantrone], fluorouracil
[5-FU]) to CAF (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin [Adriamycin], 5-FU) in breast
cancer, 10 mg/m² of mitoxantrone was compared to 50 mg/m² of doxorubicin.
Single-agent comparisons used 12 to 14 mg/m² of mitoxantrone and 60 to 75 mg/m²
of doxorubicin administered every 3 to 4 weeks.[17]
As described later in this review, the doses of mitoxantrone in
combination therapy for NHL have ranged from 10 to 12 mg/m². Given that 12 mg/m²
represents a 20% increase in dose intensity over the lower dose, an increase of
2 mg/m² could be an extremely important difference if there is a significant
dose-response curve at this dose range.
Moderate reductions in the dose intensity of doxorubicin have
produced a striking decrease in treatment outcome for breast cancer
patients.[18] In the treatment of aggressive NHL, two studies found that 50 mg/m² of doxorubicin in the CHOP regimen (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin HCl,
vincristine, prednisone) was superior to 10 mg/m² of mitoxantrone in CNOP
(cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone, vincristine, prednisone),[19,20] and one study
found the two regimens to be comparable.[21]
In a fourth trial, CNOP was found to be comparable to CHOP when
the dose of mitoxantrone was increased to 12 mg/m² and compared to 50 mg/m²
doxorubicin.[22] Similar results were observed in other regimens that
substituted mitoxantrone, 12 mg/m², for doxorubicin, 50 mg/m²,[23] or
mitoxantrone, 10 mg/m², for doxorubicin, 45 mg/m².[24,25] Therefore,
the CNOP regimen should include mitoxantrone at 12 mg/m² if the goal is to
achieve a therapeutic outcome comparable to that of CHOP with doxorubicin at 50
Are There Differences in Toxicity Between Mitoxantrone and
Patients receiving mitoxantrone experience less nonhematologic
toxicity (alopecia, nausea, vomiting) than those receiving doxorubicin. This
advantage may be particularly beneficial to patients such as the elderly, who
may not tolerate full-dose doxorubicin therapy.
In early trials comparing mitoxantrone to doxorubicin (or CAF to
CNF) in breast cancer, significantly lower rates of alopecia, nausea, vomiting,
and stomatitis were reported in the mitoxantrone arm.[17] In later trials in
lymphoma patients, in which a mitoxantrone-containing regimen was compared to a
doxorubicin-containing regimen, the severity of alopecia was significantly
reduced in many studies[19,20,22-26] or reported to occur less
frequently.[21,27] Similarly, nausea and vomiting were significantly reduced in
trials comparing a mitoxantrone regimen to a doxorubicin regimen,[19,20] with
one trial reporting significantly less mucositis in the mitoxantrone arm.[19]
Studies have shown that the cardiotoxicity associated with
mitoxantrone is qualitatively similar to that associated with the anthracyclines,
and is more likely to appear after cumulative mitoxantrone doses of 160 mg/m²,
or 100 mg/m² if the patient has received previous anthracycline
therapy.[28] Although mitoxantrone may be less cardiotoxic than doxorubicin at
comparable cumulative doses, caution is necessary because cardiotoxicity can
also occur at low doses of mitoxantrone. Patients who have previously received
doxorubicin or mediastinal irradiation, or who have underlying cardiac disease,
will be at greater risk for mitoxantrone-associated cardiotoxicity.[6,7]

I can't lie…or at least I'm not a very good liar. I love Jane Elliot and the work she has done, the work she continues to do, how she does it, and her legacy.
Who's Jane Elliot and why should you give a hang?
Jane Elliot (http://www.janeelliott.com) is an American teacher, who, during the 1960s, taught children anti-racism classes (although unbeknownst to the children for most for of the duration of the "experiment") in her third grade classes.
The children were told that those with blue eyes were superior to those with brown eyes; and that the blue eyed children would be allowed more play time and receive other perks as well – since, of course, they were not as messy or as slow as the brown-eyed children.
After a little while, the brown eyed children were forced to wear special collars, and were more regularly mocked and derided by blue eyed students for perceived flaws and slovenly character traits.
If a brown eyed child make a mistake or was slow or cried, it would be pointed out that it was because of that child's inferior state of being. S/he couldn't help it, because sh/e was just naturally inferior, anyway.
Jan Elliot is a pioneer in what is now called "diversity training," or "sensitivity training," before it existed as now know it.
Undoubtedly, Jane Elliot could not teach children her anti-racism instruction in today's private or parochial schools without eventually having some manner of legal action taken against her-and certainly she has (and continues to) receive negative or misunderstood reactions to what she's trying to inculcate in (now) adults.
She came to the conclusion eventually that racism and prejudice are indeed taught, but that also, more importantly, that what can be taught can also be un-taught…at least to some extent.
Of course, "un-learning" (to paraphrase George W. Bush) racism takes time. Lots of time. And she's a strong-willed, conscientious educator for continuing her mission.
If you'd like to learn more about Jane Elliot's experiences in teaching "anti-racism" and how she does it, watch the videos below. The videos below only show the proverbial tip of the iceberg in terms of the work and commitment Ms. Elliott has shown toward trying to end taught racism.
Here are the links to her videos on YouTube:
And here's a very brief interview with Ms. Elliott, someone who felt something sincere from her soul and decided to take radical action about it, and keep doing it:

Despite slowing growth and deficit challenges, India remains a destination for global investment. Foreign institutional investors (FII) clocked in net investment of around $24.5 billion in equity and nearly $6.8 billion in debt in the calendar year 2012. In fact, for equity this is the second highest net inflows seen in any calender year since the doors to FII investing were opened in 1993-94. This reflects the return potential from an economy where earnings are still growing at 15-20% for large-cap companies.
Add to this the fact that while the rest of the world has been moving in the direction of monetary easing and interest rates in developed nations are extremely low, in India with repo rate still at 8%, potential returns from one-year fixed deposits and short-term income funds are 9-10%. Of course, the currency risk remains.
How do you benefit from this growth if you are an Indian but live abroad? It's got easier than before for you to invest in Indian financial products with a well-defined investment process and reasonable tax treatment.
Begin with mutual funds
Whether you pick fixed income or equity will of course depend on your objective. If the money being invested in India is long-term surplus, then it's better to go with equity. At the same time, don't ignore fixed income funds. In low risk, low duration fixed income funds such as ultra-short term funds and liquid funds, you can comfortably earn around 8-8.5% per annum.
At present though, rupee denominated non-resident (ordinary/non-resident (external) or NRO/NRE fixed deposits may score over fixed income MFs as the interest earned (currently around 9%) is not taxed. Says Raghvendra Nath, managing director, Ladderup Wealth Management, a financial planning firm, "Fixed deposits are popular among non-resident Indians or NRIs as the rate of interest at around 9% is attractive, tax treatment is favourable and they are easy to manage."
Having said that, the present day investment environment favours bond funds with long duration given that interest rates are widely expected to come down over the next few months. Right now such funds are giving annualized returns of around 10-11% and if the easing cycle begins sooner than later, they present a good opportunistic buy for you.
While fixed income is an easier choice, comparing interest rates premium across countries is somewhat simpler and more obvious than determining the value of a stock or your fund manager, but you can't ignore long-term benefits of investing in equity funds. In the last 10 years, average compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) from large-cap equity funds has been around 20% and that of from equity funds, which have exposure across market capitalization, average around 25% CAGR. So far though returns alone have not been a deciding factor. According to Prateek Pant, director, products and services, Royal Bank of Scotland Private Banking, "Among south east Asian NRIs bank deposits are popular and acquire a fairly large proportion. Equity does not much flow as dollar-adjusted returns are not so superior; investments made in Singapore have done better on a dollar-adjusted basis."
While that's a valid concern in the near term, in the long run, company fundamentals are important and a growing economy like India can present good investment opportunities.
Investment process
The process for you to get started in MFs is actually quite well defined. However, when it comes to execution, there may be a few things to consider. This is how your process begins. If you have a repatriable NRE account or a non-repatriable NRO account, where only interest is repatriable, you will be able invest in MFs via these. You can only invest via rupee denominated NRE or NRO accounts as MFs in India are rupee denominated.
Investments can be made through cheques, drafts or via direct debit. Similarly, redemption amount can also be directly credited to the NRO/NRE account. There are certain know your client (KYC) requirement you need to complete, which essentially include filling in a valid form, giving a valid identity proof like PAN card (may need to be certified by the Indian embassy), a certified copy of your passport and address proof for the overseas residence. There is also a new requirement of in-person verification for new investors or if you are investing in a scheme from a fund house you haven't invested in before. This can be bothersome for NRIs as it means you have to be physically present in India.
Moreover, says Pant, "It is cumbersome to get forms signed and have all the paperwork in place for every successive investment. NRI investors need to be ready to operate through power of attorney (PoA) for specific investment products which can be used by the advisor to execute transactions." PoAs have to be registered with the asset management company (AMC) and can then be used by advisors to invest on behalf of the client after the advisor has received some form of authorized instruction via a recorded phone call or an authorized email or some such way.
You have the option to go online to an AMCs website and invest directly, however, then the onus of choosing the right fund and evaluating a comprehensive portfolio across schemes will be on you.
Be mindful of taxation
Overall the provisions pertaining to taxability of capital gains provisions remain the same for India residents as well as NRIs. However, many countries have a double tax avoidance agreement with India and this will come into play while determining the overall tax liability of income earned through investments made in India.
Says Parizad Sirwalla, partner, KPMG, "Once the tax liability as per provisions of the Indian domestic tax law is established, tax benefit, if any, under the Indo Singapore Treaty for an NRI in Singapore is based on detailed examination of the clauses of the relevant treaty and tax residency provisions under the respective law."
Says Pant, "Tax plays a very big role. India has double tax avoidance agreement with many countries which has to be kept in mind and to that extent the higher of the two tax rates has to be paid."
All said and done, Indian equity and fixed income MFs offer attractive returns. Once you have established your objective, some investment can be routed here as well. At present, a very small portion of the overall NRI investment surplus gets routed to India, say experts.

Ah Ha! My auntie cissy tagged me in this photo. O to be 12 years old again!
That's my cousing Kristi on the left and her friend Holly. I didn't know Holly well but I always liked her. She was one that seemed really sweet growing up but I went to a different school until 7th grade. I don't remember her being in 7th grade with us when we all went to middle school together. That's me on the right! Don't you love the polka-dot bikini! Is it possible to ever be the same size you were in middle school?
Check out those sholders on me! That's from climbing trees and hanging on monkey bars...
Oh those were the days!

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
That is very, very good for an aphakic eye with a contact :)
No. I'm not sure what type of contact she is talking about...but, then, I never was very good with contacts :)
I would also use some artificial tears to sooth and protect your eyes. The ones that say they are "preservative" free can be used as often as you want, even when you are wearing your contact lenses.
These drops would be very helpful when you are on the computer.
Does this help?
Have a good week. It is always a pleasure to hear from you.
Hi Dr. Rick~I got your answer in twice~thanks for the encouraging words about my eye~I just wish the contact was more comfortable~she gave me a bottle called" blink" and I also have one I got some time ago called Tears Naturale~I never thought to ask her also whether my high pressure eye drops could cause this irritation~ I am on three at night and two in the morning~she knows all this~ as the Specialist sent her my report~ I think these glaucoma drops can cause your eyes to burn a bit~I hope I can feel comfortable~ since I have to wear the lens~ she did not get into trying me with my right eye today~ we shall take that step later~I was such a disaster the first time and yet that contact felt comfortable~I could not even feel it in my eye~thanks again for your encouragement~ do you think anxiety pills would cause this~ the air in my Condo is dry I know as well~I like my house warm~perhaps too warm~maybe everything combined is doing this~I am getting tired of running back to this Optomitrist~as she too must be getting tired of seeing me~:-) Martha~
I agree~ she is working on it however and may soon be working Fridays ~and eventually full time~ they are working on her room now~would the anxiety pills be helped by the drops~ as she would think of this one would think~I told her originally that I was on some~funny how the right eye was okay though~she hopes in fact to have her room ready by the time my new contact comes in~thanks again and you answer so fast~ I pushed the button once already and I will again after this message when you respond~I got two e~mails as well from you ~the second message looked kind of weird ~ like you were replying to a message format~and it was not a bright blue like the original~it was black and white~the Dr. Rick was all on the same line too~unlike the original~ just things maybe to help you know what happened~Martha~
