Well with Christmas right around the corner I figure – why not do an equipment review for folks who are into technology-large and small? So instead of being simulation-intensive this time I want to talk about technologies I've recently come in contact with, have purchased or might purchase. Then of course I will talk about simulation accomplishments.
In my opinion this is going to be a huge seller for Apple, maybe even breaking records this Christmas season. It's simply got everything going for it without being a phone, which for some folks (like me) is perfect. The thing that really hits you first is how small yet well made it is. I have the shiny silver one and opted for 16 gig of memory, which is only 30 dollars more than the 8 gig version. So it came out to $179.00 for a unit that keeps all your music, podcasts, photos, calendars, contacts, purchased tv shows etc., organized and at the ready! But what really made me make the jump is the fact that it has a video camera. Not only that but you can add effects to your videos while filming. My seven year old son loves to use it for filming his superheroes and for acting out shows with his friends. And of course it's so easy to use that all I had to do was show him the basics of the navigation wheel and he was off and running-literally! I also run and love to have the iPod on my runs for not just the musical inspiration but for documenting prettier parts of the journey. It's so small that you don't need an armband or like device. Just put it in a pocket. Perfect for working out. Another cool feature is it's also an FM Radio that has live pausing capabilities and you can "tag" songs so they can be called up later in the iTunes store. Pretty crazy huh? I have lived with the Nano for about 5 weeks now and I love it. I think music sounds better on it than the original Nano and of course with all the other features it's an incredible deal. The videocamera makes nice looking videos and the files are not too big to deal with-as they are mv4's that can be pulled into your photo program like a camera video. The microphone sounds pretty chintzy. It distorts quite easily and the ripping, distorted crackling it makes when something is too loud – like a person yelling- is horrible! But that's my only complaint. If you are wondering if this is the right gadget to get for someone who loves music, shoots video and works out, this is the must have for the holiday!
We bought one of these last summer and are very glad we did. For simulations it has come in handy as a debrief recorder, an alternate hidden camera (used for exciting, unique angles), a portable following system (for getting fresh statements outside the labs) and as a wider format picture camera. The great thing about the Minio HD is that it is a full 1080i recorder, is very easy to use and connects to a tripod in seconds. We have made a few movies now exclusively with the footages we got from the Flip Minio HD recorder. The quality is so much better than the standard PTZ video cameras we have in the lab. And since the camera can be moved wherever we want it's quickly become something we are always using in and around our simulations. The microphone is pretty nice too but don't expect great results when recording from farther than 15 feet away. The dynamic range is not great but not terrible so some musical or audio-oriented recordings will come out acceptable. But this is not a high fidelity recorder for audio. The video however is pretty stunning. There doesn't seem to be any motion detection/elimination onboard so shaky filming looks…shaky. But put it on a tripod or stable tabletop and the final video looks like it was composed on a fancy HD camera. If you want to watch your FLIP videos on your TV, connect a mini HDMI (not included) cable and go! There is a zoom function, which is digital so it's simply "blowing up" the video picture and not actually zooming with a lens. When you "flip" the USB plug from the side of the camera you can then connect it to your computer and import your movies into the included FlipShare software. This software automatically installs when you attach the Flip. The FlipShare software is intuitive and allows you to edit, organize and share your videos.
I bet this is another big seller this season for tech-heads and folks who want an easy-to-use-all-in-one-video-recorder that they can just pick up and play with. You get 120 minutes of recording time in HD for 229 bucks! Pretty amazing.
Okay, now onto the bigger, more complex, more expensive stuff:
We recently purchased a new Mac Pro and installed the latest Snow Leopard Server software on it so that we could start providing simulation and AV services for our simulation users and collaborators. The Snow Leopard server software is around 500 dollars presently. The Podcast Producer (which is one of the services on Snow Leopard Server) service is offering secure web based RSS feeds from our server to faculty, students and collaborators so that they may review their simulations privately, watch a lecture, review an instructional video or listen to audio – like heart sounds etc. In particular, our School of Social Work department has begun using this service. We recorded and uploaded nine videos from the simulations that took place . Students are able to watch the videos in their entirety while on campus from their laptop or UNE computer. Just yesterday I recorded the Maine Medical ED simulations straight into Podcast Capture and it worked well -zipping the files through the laptop to the server upstairs. Podcast Producer then composes a video file "behind the scenes" with fades, titling and fancy graphics etc. The final video looks excellent. So it's saving us a lot of time and effort when it comes to editing, providing a service for our users and organizing the files in secure, easily distributable ways. Podcast Producer will also compress the original file down quite nicely, crunching a 3 gig Quicktime movie into an iPhone file (for example) that's an eighth the original size …yet still looks great in a browser. You can choose from a variety of formats and styles to make your podcasts look unique or uniform.
So let me just say I am really excited and extremely impressed with the Podcast Producer program and service. It is intuitive, fun to use and easy to run. So far our users have had some problems logging in but once they download the latest Safari and Quicktime it is working well. A fix I'd like to see in future updates is a workaround for users of older PCs. Some of the five year old PCs in our simlabs aren't able to access the workflows. But if you've got a relatively new machine and the latest Safari and Quicktime it's pretty smooth. Some of the other types of recordings that can be done with the program include dual source, screen and audio capture for lectures and performances. You can also open a previously created file and upload that as a podcast. Pretty darn cool. Apple have done it again.
I'm actually making podcasts from live Social Work simulations again tonight.
Two other pieces of equipment that I've recently seen worth mentioning:
1. Gaumard's female "Susie" simulator. Check out the video. She is awesome. We just had a demo of her and she passed all our tests with flying colors!
2. RevoLabs wireless microphones. Wow… these things are exactly what a dynamic simlab operation needs. We will probably be getting a pair very soon. They sound real nice, are very versatile and have two way capabilities.
As always this time of year the simulations ratchet up at the end of the semester just before Christmas break. Here's a quick look at what we had going on at the UNE CSP in the last 6 weeks or so:
–UNE's new website looks good! Lot's of sim pix throughout!
-Complete buy-in and use of spaces for Social Work simulations.
-MMC ED simulations focusing on administrative and ethical issues along with the unique patients created from real ER experiences.
–Nursing sim hours were up up up.
– The PA program's using the labs for their Integrating Seminars. The students love it and want to do more.
Below are some recent pictures……
Thanks for tuning in folks. Have a great HOLIDAZE!

Chicago Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts suggested today that he might move the team out of Wrigley Field if he doesn't get approval for the changes and upgrades the organization wants to make to the historic stadium.
Specifically, Ricketts doesn't want the local government to stand in the way of the giant video scoreboard and additional outfield signs the team would like to add.
"I'm not sure how anyone is going to stop the signs in the outfield, but if it comes to the point that we don't have the ability to do what we need to do in our outfield then we're going to have to consider moving," Ricketts said, according to the Chicago Tribune. "It's a simple as that."
Wrigley Field will turn 100 years old next season—only Fenway Park is older—and Ricketts would like to spend $300 million to renovate it and modernize it in hopes of creating more revenue and improving the fan experience. However, his plans have met some resistance from the City Council and the rooftop businesses that surround the park.
According to the Chicago Tribune, the Cubs, the mayor of Chicago and a local alderman recently agreed to a "framework" for the renovation of Wrigley Field and the development of the surrounding land. But the newspaper speculates Ricketts might be growing frustrated by the pace of the negotiations.
"The fact is we are committed to try to work this out. We've always said that we want to win in Wrigley Field, but we also need to generate the revenue we need to compete as a franchise. Having the ability to put video boards and signs in the outfield is very important to us," Ricketts told the Chicago Tribune.
If Ricketts is serious about leaving, he already has a suitor. Several weeks ago, the mayor of nearby Rosemont said that the village near O'Hare International Airport has a 25-acre chunk of land that the Cubs could have for free if they wanted to build a replica of Wrigley Field there. While Mayor Bradley Stephens said the idea of the Cubs leaving Wrigley was the longest of long shots, he wanted to make sure that if the Cubs did decide to leave they knew about the offer.
"It's hard for everyone to envision," Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein told the Chicago Tribune. "Everyone is on record as saying their goal to stay here and win here. I think Tom's answer to that really underscores the importance of the project, and the importance of the revenue to our vision of building a sustainable winner in a big market and behaving the way a big market should.
"Tom loves Wrigley Field. He doesn't wake up in the morning thinking about moving. He wakes up thinking about winning here. But winning does come first. … As he indicated, you have to keep alternatives alive just because this has been such a crazy process."

Spot-Lock keeps the boat in place
Cruise Control maintains boat speed
Advanced AutoPilot uses GPS to keep true heading
CoPilot lets you steer from anywhere on the boat
The updated i-Pilot includes additional recording capacity and a new remote with improved functionality and enhanced durability. The most significant enhancement to i-Pilot is the updated remote. The LCD screen and function icons are 20% larger, and the keypad has improved visibility, durability, and tactile feel. The remote has a slimmer, more ergonomic design as well as an easy-access battery compartment.
Key Features:
Spot-Lock works like an electronic anchor, holding the boat in place. If the boat drifts more than five feet from the Spot-Lock location, i-Pilot will activate the trolling motor to keep the angler on the designated spot. It automatically corrects for wind, waves, current and drift. The "recall" feature for Spot-Lock provides the ability to return to that specific location at a later time. Up to six Spot-Lock locations can be stored at a time.
Record A Track allows an entire fishing track, up to a remarkable two miles in length, to be stored to memory (up to six separate tracks). When you want to retrace a course in either direction, i-Pilot's playback functions will automatically guide your boat along the track.
Cruise Control maintains real-time on-the-water boat speed in one-tenth mile-per-hour increments. This precise speed control allows the angler to dial in bait presentations in trolling applications.
Advanced AutoPilot utilizes GPS technology to maintain the boat path on a true heading while adjusting for wind, waves, current, and side-drift. This results in improved and more accurate tracking compared to traditional compass-based systems.
CoPilot is Minn Kota's wireless trolling motor control system and is integrated into the i-Pilot remote control. Anglers can control speed and steering from anywhere in the boat.

Tech ProjectThe final part of the 235 engine build now comes to a close. This engine was completely rebuilt from the ground up. In our first part of the series we worked on the motor head, which creates all of the torque and horsepower. As we mentioned before, this 235 engine received Egge components for the internal parts of the block. Last month we installed the Egge cam bearings onto the machined engine block and we balanced the connecting rods to keep the vibration down to a minimum.
This month we'll wrap up the Egge build, putting the crank, connecting rods, and pistons on without a problem. The head and the engine were once again reunited but not before making sure that the engine was as reliable as before. With Speed-O-Motive behind this project, there won't be any unforeseen problems with the assembly of this classic engine. Follow along as Bill from Speed-O-Motive finishes up on the Egge buildup.

In his second installment of literary analysis, Lee Miller explores how surging rivers and raw humanity converge in the work of William Faulkner.
As water recedes from near record flooding of the Mississippi River this spring, residents along the "Old Man" and the Atchafalaya spillway will never forget the profound and metaphysical power that they witnessed in May 2011. Slowly rising rivers destroyed acres of farms and drove construction worker Leandro Lugo, his pregnant wife and two children from their mobile home with a pickup truck full of belongings. "We were a little frustrated at one time," Lugo said [in USA Today], "but we couldn't control what God has in store for us." This same deep eternal movement of God and water is adroitly explored in William Faulkner's forgotten masterpiece, The Wild Palms.
This original novel combines two short stories, "The Wild Palms" and "Old Man," into one movement. "The Wild Palms" follows a disastrous love affair between Henry, an almost-graduate of medical school, and Charlotte, a married woman. Like Adam and Eve, they search for a paradise of two, traveling to a secluded cabin in Wisconsin and a Utah mining camp before returning to the Mississippi Delta. "Old Man" follows the misadventure of a Mississippi convict who is subscripted to fortify a levee against the Great Flood of 1927. As the river devours the countryside, this "tall" convict is sent out on a row boat to rescue a pregnant woman stuck in a tree. The hand of God and fate, through the powerful flood waters, carries the convict to unforeseen places and states of mind before he voluntarily returns to his prison cell.
Faulkner achieves a magical counterbalance between the two stories. Their central ideas never directly intersect, yet they constantly interlace and overlap, creating a thematic assonance. In one section, the tall convict witnesses a baby's birth on an Indian burial mound covered with copperhead snakes that projects out of raging flood waters. This improbable victory of life counters a later section where Charlotte perishes in a vividly sterile hospital after Henry botches her abortion operation. Like an Arvo Part musical composition, each movement is interesting alone, yet transcends to a flush human experience when juxtaposed in open space. Faulkner utilizes stream-of-consciousness to punctuate the mentality of his characters, yet this literary technique is far more judiciously applied in The Wild Palms (1939) than the more incoherent and esoteric The Sound and the Fury (1929).
William Faulkner created The Wild Palms at the apex of his writing ability. He seems to know the inner feelings of the convict, Charlotte and Henry, as if he had personally experienced all of their travails. A tremendous empathy extends to the underlying rhythm of humanity, to the deep movement of water, and to the universal approach of death. As the convicts wait to work on the levee, in long lines and crowded tents, they stare over miles of open water and hear it: "What is that sound?" the tall convict asks. "Dat the Ol' Man," another replies simply.
Exploring elusive metaphysical and spiritual questions is one joy of reading quality literature. Great novels transport the reader to exotic settings and unique armchair adventures while exploring what it means to be human. Great books cultivate empathy from a wide range of flawed characters. One can engage a newspaper or other media for sound bytes of human experience, for timetables and statistics of the 2011 Mississippi flood. Yet to understand the unforgettable feeling of those who watched a great power displace their lives this past spring, to know a more profound empathy for Leandro Lugo and his family, read and enjoy The Wild Palms.
Lee Miller is the author of the Bengali novel Kali Sunset (www.clovercreekpress.com).

I was reading this on narutopedia
SharinganDanzo has a Sharingan for his right eye, which he keeps hidden under the bandages. It is apparently damaged, as the sclera is not white. Despite this, he is very adapted to using it, detecting seventeen assassins hidden inside a forest.
so, because of that.. i have an idea.
Danzo has the other sharingan from obito.
Obito's other sharingan was under rocks.. and so : damaged.
So how do i explain this?, he has already bandages..
I think his real eye was damaged.
and later placed Obito's sharingan

How to Survive the Apocalypse

Leukocyte esterase is a urine test to look for white blood cells and other signs associated with infection.
WBC esterase
A clean-catch urine sample is preferred. The clean-catch method is used to prevent germs from the penis or vagina from getting into a urine sample. To collect your urine, the health care provider may give you a special clean-catch kit that contains a cleansing solution and sterile wipes. Follow instructions exactly so that the results are accurate.
After you provide a urine sample, it is tested right away. The health care provider uses a dipstick made with a color-sensitive pad. The color of the dipstick changes to tell the provider if you may have white blood cells in your urine.
No special preparation is necessary for this test.
The test will involve only normal urination. There is no discomfort.
Leukocyte esterase is a screening test used to detect a substance that suggests there are white blood cells in the urine. This may mean you have a urinary tract infection.
If this test is positive, the urine should be examined under a microscope for white blood cells and other signs that point to an infection.
A negative test result is normal.
Normal values vary from lab to lab. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test result.
The following may create a false positive result:
False negative tests can be caused by:
An abnormal result indicates a possible urinary tract infection.

The Importance of Newborn Stool Counts
Denise Bastien
From LEAVEN, Vol. 33 No. 6, December 1997-January 1998, pp. 123-6
We provide articles from our publications from previous years for reference for our Leaders and members. Readers are cautioned to remember that research and medical information change over time.
"Hello. I got your number from (hospital, hot-line, friend, etc.) and I have some questions about breastfeeding......"
And so starts another tentative call for help and reassurance from a breastfeeding mother. Her concerns may involve a complex situation or simply be a request for meeting information. Whatever the purpose of a mother's call there is one area of basic information I routinely share. Regardless of why a mother calls or what questions she asks, if her baby is younger than six to eight weeks, I take an extra minute to discuss the importance of frequent stooling for breastfed babies in this age group. Here is why.
The frequency and consistency of the breastfed baby's stool has long been a misunderstood aspect of breastfeeding. By mid-20th century when infants were often raised on simple recipes of cow's milk and early solids, formed, infrequent stools became common. In contrast, the frequency and loose consistency of the breast milk stool was at times mistaken for diarrhea and treated as such, even by such measures as weaning. Older breastfed babies with normal patterns of delayed stooling were also unnecessarily treated in various ways for constipation.
For decades, La Leche League and other breastfeeding advocates have disseminated information on healthy breastfed babies' stool patterns to alleviate worries and spare babies from unneeded interventions. Unfortunately, this work is far from complete. Some new mothers are still not expecting loose, frequent stools. Some breastfed babies are still mistakenly treated for constipation. A more disturbing consequence of misunderstanding breastfed babies' stooling continues to occur: undetected impending failure-to-thrive.
In the past, publications focused on educating mothers to expect frequent, loose bowel movements from the breastfed baby as well as the common possibility that baby may skip several days between bowel movements. Since both frequent and infrequent stooling can fall within the range of normal, the criteria for adequate intake focused solely on urination. In the 1980s this standard was modified for breastfed babies within a specific age group. The normal stooling pattern of an exclusively breastfed newborn under the age of six to eight weeks has more recently been recognized to be multiple daily bowel movements.
Why can't urination alone be used to assess newborn breastfeeding? It has long been known that the composition and quantity of human milk changes both during the weeks following birth and during a single feeding. The first milk, colostrum, provides the baby with many invaluable health benefits and is also a natural laxative ensuring the early evacuation of meconium. Though a mother's milk supply will greatly increase or "come in" within a few days of birth, the transition from colostrum to mature milk takes several weeks to complete. Transitional and mature milk are also responsible for increased stooling. As stated in Lactation Consultant Series Unit 8, page 7, "Newborns commonly stool at least five times a day after day three as the additional fat of transitional and mature milk causes the formation of bulk."
Two Kinds of Milk
The terms "foremilk" and "hindmilk" are used to refer to the differences in human milk during a single feeding. Foremilk, the first milk taken at a feeding, is the more plentiful, yet it has a relatively lower percentage of fats and calories. As suckling continues at the first breast the percentage of fats in the milk increases until baby receives the higher calorie hindmilk. A combined intake of both foremilk and hindmilk is the optimum result.
In answer to the question, "Is baby getting enough?" a second question could be posed, "Enough of which?" In the early weeks wet diaper counts give only part of the answer. Because the nursing newborn takes in plenty of foremilk before receiving the richer hindmilk, it would be difficult for an infant to produce several bowel movements per day without being adequately hydrated.
However, the opposite can easily occur. Since feeding practices, ineffective sucking or other problems may diminish the mother's milk supply or prevent the baby from receiving an adequate portion of hindmilk, it is possible for a baby to be adequately hydrated yet have an inadequate calorie intake. Frequent urination remains one valid indicator of adequate newborn hydration from foremilk intake. Multiple daily stooling is an indicator of adequate newborn calorie intake from hindmilk. Both factors are needed to fully assess neonatal breastfeeding.
Since a lack of daily stooling may be associated with inadequate newborn calorie intake, it is also a predictor of poor infant weight gain. Early detection of this symptom can be crucial for the baby's health and the continuation of breastfeeding. In severe cases, an infant's low calorie intake may lead to weaker sucking, diminished milk supply and critical dehydration. While less serious conditions may be improved at various stages of breastfeeding, it is much more effective to establish a generous milk supply and hearty weight gain in the early weeks than to have to work to achieve them in later months.
Stooling Patterns
There are many benefits to discussing normal stool patterns with each new mother. When a fully breastfed newborn baby is having several yellow or tan, seedy stools each day, Leaders can emphasize this is a reassuring sign that breastfeeding is off to a good start. What a wonderfully observable proof allaying a new mother's fear of inadequate milk supply!
While new parents often have difficulty deciding if a baby's diaper/nappy is truly wet, there's little doubt when one is soiled. For the mother who is worried—even without saying so—that frequent stooling is diarrhea, hearing the expected frequency and significance of the normal newborn pattern is again a great relief and confidence builder. Beginning a call with this positive interaction sets a supportive tone as the conversation moves on to other topics of interest to the mother.
On occasion a mother calling with a deceptively simple or unrelated question will describe notably infrequent newborn stooling when asked. Sometimes it has been overlooked or, using the criteria for older babies, labeled normal. Sometimes, under the advice of family, friends or health workers, this has already been treated as constipation. During the 1990s mothers have related such treatments as: changes made in the mother's diet; various supplements for baby including glucose or corn syrup water, fruit juices, or pureed fruits; various types of anal stimulation, anal dilation and enemas of vegetable oil. In cases of infrequent newborn stooling, babies are often known to have or are later found to have poor weight gain.
When a mother describes infrequent newborn stooling the Leader will want to carefully discuss adequate urination. Well hydrated infants are expected to have pale yellow, clear urine significantly wetting 6-8 cloth or 5-6 disposable diapers/nappies every 24 hours starting the third day after birth. A new mother can learn how a minimally wet diaper would feel by pouring one to two ounces (30 - 60 ml) of water onto a dry diaper. Even though disposable diapers may not feel wet, they will feel recognizably heavier.
If an infant's urine output also seems low, immediate referral to medical care is warranted. Even if urination seems consistent with the above guidelines, the absence of daily newborn stooling remains a cause for concern. According to Ruth A. Lawrence, MD in her book Breastfeeding: A Guide for the Medical Profession, Fourth Edition, page 273.
When...[daily newborn stooling]...does not happen, the physician needs to confirm that all is really well. This means a check of urine output...and urine specific gravity as well as a review of breastfeeding patterns. The purpose is to identify the potential failure-to-thrive situation before it becomes serious.
Dr. Lawrence continues to explain that minor adjustments to breastfeeding may be needed to increase the amount of high-fat hindmilk the baby receives.
Helping Mothers
Leaders may need to be especially sensitive during a discussion about the importance of newborn stooling. A mother calling for breastfeeding support will be concerned to hear nursing may not be going as well as it could. Using Human Relations Enrichment (HRE) skills and suggestions from the BREASTFEEDING ANSWER BOOK sections on "Asking Questions" and "Giving Information" (pages 3-7) helps keep the conversation positive. It can be reassuring to explain that simple adjustments in the mother's or baby's nursing style may quickly improve the situation. Many newborns with infrequent stooling will begin to produce several stools per day within 24-48 hours of improved breastfeeding techniques. Most mothers will be eager to discuss this further.
Leaders can begin by briefly explaining basic breastfeeding management including the typical number of feedings newborns require each day (10-12), the way foremilk changes to hindmilk during a feeding and the importance of allowing/encouraging baby to sustain active nursing long enough on the first breast to take in plenty of total milk and therefore more hindmilk. Often the mother herself will be quick to realize and mention several ways this process has not occurred for her baby. See sidebar of "Possible Hindrances" [below] to further assist the mother in this process.
Once a mother understands her own situation, she will usually request (or the Leader can offer) strategies to increase baby's intake of hindmilk to achieve multiple daily stooling and optimal weight gain for her newborn. Concise resources for these discussions are LLLI's tear-off sheets Is Baby Getting Enough? (No.457) and Establishing Your Milk Supply (No.469).
Weight Gain
If the baby's weight gain is not yet known, Leaders can suggest that the baby's weight be checked with a health care provider. In many communities such weight checks are provided free of charge by the doctor's office or the public health department. Some mothers request a weight check immediately; others may choose to wait for an upcoming, previously scheduled appointment. In either case, the mother is prepared for the possibility of poor weight gain. At the health visit the mother can explain that breastfeeding difficulties may have affected the baby's weight, however, she has contacted La Leche League for assistance and has implemented changes. If the weight gain is then shown to be low, the mother is in an especially strong position to request a probationary period of weight checks while she continues working to improve breastfeeding.
If baby's weight gain is so poor that temporary supplementation is recommended, the mother's own expressed milk is considered the first choice of supplement, especially the rich, high-calorie hindmilk which she can express after feedings. The BREASTFEEDING ANSWER BOOK, page 134, states:
The mother and her baby's doctor will need to discuss how much supplement to give. It may be helpful for the mother to know that babies need about 2 to 2 1/2 fluid ounces of nourishment per pound of body weight (60-75 ml per 454 grams) every 24 hours to maintain a normal weight. An additional 1 to 2 ounces (30-60 ml) per pound (454 grams) of body weight per day may be needed to compensate for a previous lack of weight gain.
The mother can use alternate feeding methods to avoid the risk of compounding a possible sucking problem with artificial nipples. A nursing supplementer used at the breast may encourage effective sucking and stimulate the mother's milk supply. Other choices include a medicine dropper, syringe, spoon or small cup. The mother may want to take special care to first give the baby the creamy milk off the top of expressed milk if it has been sitting long enough to separate.
If a mother has complications surrounding her efforts to breastfeed, the Leader may want to refer her for additional help (medical, lactation or social) while offering continued support for breastfeeding. Some mothers faced with the possibility of breastfeeding difficulties or changes prefer to discuss supplementation or weaning. While referring her to medical help for artificial feeding, the Leader can convey respect for the mother's choices and encouragement for her mothering efforts.
While multiple daily bowel movements are expected for thriving breastfed newborns, there are exceptions to be noted. Rarely, a healthy, well-nourished newborn with infrequent stooling will have weight gain within the acceptable range. The BREASTFEEDING ANSWER BOOK states newborns may have a 5% to 7% weight loss up to the fourth day after birth, then gain 4-8 oz (113-227 grams) or more per week. If a newborn is spacing bowel movements days apart rather than hours apart, each bowel movement would be very large. Since experts list infrequent newborn stooling as a "red flag" symptom requiring professional evaluation, confirming the infant's overall health and monitoring weight gain with the health care provider are prudent precautions.
Although breastfeeding provides infants with extensive protection against infections, illnesses do occur. Diarrhea symptoms include 12 to 16 bowel movements with offensive odor in a 24-hour time period. Infants with diarrhea need medical supervision and continued breastfeeding is especially beneficial.
Frequent bowel movements which are consistently green and watery may be caused by a sensitivity to food or medication that baby or mother is ingesting. Careful consideration of any medications, home remedies, foods or drinks may uncover a possible cause.
Consistently green, watery and foamy stools are also thought to be caused by a low intake of hindmilk, referred to as foremilk-hindmilk imbalance or "oversupply syndrome." Baby may act colicky, gain weight slowly and bowel movements may be very forceful. An overabundant milk supply or overactive let-down reflex may be involved. Breastfeeding techniques to improve the baby's control of the milk flow and intake of hindmilk may quickly reduce these symptoms.
Increasing Understanding
For more than ten years LLLI publications have reflected the typical newborn pattern of multiple daily bowel movements. As breastfeeding supporters we realize change often comes slowly, and the public understanding of normal newborn stooling is no exception. Leaders can perform a valuable role in this area by sharing these guidelines with pregnant and new mothers. Early detection of infrequent newborn stooling and strategies to improve a baby's total milk/hindmilk intake may be deciding factors in a mother's continued breastfeeding.
How discouraged and frightened a new breastfeeding mother feels when she is told at a routine health visit that her baby is not gaining well. Grateful mothers have related how helpful it was to be forewarned of the possibility of weight problems and given immediate information and encouragement as well as criteria to observe baby's progress. Routinely explaining to mothers the importance of multiple daily stools for newborns is such a simple way to promote, protect and support breastfeeding, I have decided no mother who reaches out to me will go without this information.

I have been chipping away at a new design located at http://www.e-physici...o/index-new.php, finally decided to adopt separate stylesheets for lte IE 6. According to visitor stats:
39% IE8 & above
8% IE6 & below
I found that while IE7 does not display the border-radius feature, at least it doesn't break the page all to hell and gone like IE6. (This is using IE Tester for comparison.) Opera 11.51 (stats: 0.3%) displays the radius on borders but not submit buttons. Safari for windows 5.1 (stats: 5.2%) and chrome 10.0.648.204 (stats: 6.5%) seem to display normally.
Firefox -- total firefox stats: 16%, roughly half using 6 with the remainder 5 and under. Tested using ff 7, there probably is a way to test against earlier versions, any best-practice suggestions (that is, easy setup...)?
So for those souls on IE6, their page view is not so cool stylistically, but it's useable. (I just gave up on the appearance, something about forms and divs and z-index, may revisit it later. I may switch to images for submit buttons, that would help.) IE7 gets the borders but not the curves.
I have found over years that I have lots of faithful users in the obsolete IE group, often non-technical people using the site for research in their workplace, and they have gotten frustrated when something doesn't work right after I made a change, maybe their boss doesn't want to upgrade the office or it's a hassle to call the IT guy, or whatever. They are nice people and I want to keep them happy!
So please fire away at me on this new design, I am still making minor changes but it's close. There are 3 cool new searches in response to visitor requests, they work but still display results in the old style. I will be upgrading the rest of the site when I finalize this new design.
The page passes tidy, w3c and total validator. Still thinking about mobile....
Thanks in advance

Egypt's private airports await privatization
The private sector will increasingly turn to building airports over the next three years to link many of Egypt's outlying areas to the cities, according to a report in Al Ahram Weekly.
These airports, for which the government is offering incentives to investors, will be constructed under a Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) system. The incentives include lucrative concessions for other projects in the areas served by the airports. Contracts for these facilities are an integral part of programs to develop various parts of the country.
The BOT system for airports was introduced in Egypt only two years ago when the contract for an airport at Marsa Alam was awarded to the Kuwaiti Group, Al-Kharafi. This airport is expected to be operational by the end of this year.
Other airports are now being constructed in the oases of the Western Desert, at El-Alamein on the northern coast and near tourist areas along the Red Sea. The government is expected to seek tenders for BOT airports in Sohag, Ain Sukhna, Borg El-Arab and Assiut.
For some areas slated to have airports, benefits have accrued to their inhabitants even before the facilities are operational. This is the case in the sparsely inhabited El-Farafrah and El-Bahariyya oases where airports will be completed during the next two years.
Captain Hamdi Abdel-Azim, head of the Central Administration for the Airports Sector, explained some of the work done in the area before building begins. "We worked closely with the district of the New Valley to solve problems related to poor electricity and telephone services. Fortunately, we have resolved the difficulties," Abdel-Azim told the Weekly.
The government is pursuing the BOT system with the aim of obtaining the most modern facilities and developing specific areas of the country. "The system allows more development to take place in strategic regions. Great potential has been hampered by scarce funding," he said.
Key to the selection of contractors for such projects is their demonstrated ability to build such facilities and engage in other development projects. An investor, if not enticed by the potential profits from an airport, may be attracted by the more lucrative concessions for projects such as land reclamation, food processing and educational enterprises.
By agreeing to contract for such projects, the companies gain rights over them for as long as 95 years. For example, the contracts for the airports in El-Bahariyya and El-Farafrah were awarded to the German Company ABB, one of the world's largest in the field of electricity. ABB will enjoy a 50-year concession, which includes an option to extend the contract for another 45 years. Ultimately, however, the airports along with the other projects will be handed over to the government.
Abdel-Azim explained that ABB was awarded the El-Farafrah and El-Bahariyya contracts due to its agreement to build a university and expand tourist-related infrastructure by building hotels, restaurants and recreation services. "By so doing, we guarantee faster and more comprehensive regional development, more job opportunities as well as more income," he said.
Airports in Hurghada, Sharm El-Sheikh and Luxor are currently being upgraded under the same system. "The target date [for completion of work] is 2050. The initial plan is to increase the capacity of these airports from 1,200 to 4,000 passengers per hour," Abdel-Azim said.
Over the past decade many private Egyptian airlines have taken to the skies. The reason most Egyptians are unaware of these firms is that they are restricted to specific niche markets. Private airlines mostly run charter flights from Europe on routes not serviced by EgyptAir. Consequently, all private firms must use provincial airports. Cairo remains under the full dominion of EgyptAir.
"My company is a hundred per cent Egyptian. Yet, it's deprived of many rights freely given to foreign firms," said Sayed Saber, Chairman of Aircraft Maintenance Corporation (AMC), one of the biggest Egyptian private airlines. The AMC chairman is outraged by the fact that foreign carriers can fly passengers in and out of Cairo, while his firm is denied access to the nation's central hub.
He contends that the growing system of international corporate alliances has rendered all skies open, including Egypt. "There is nothing to protect anymore," said Saber. Yet, EgyptAir is well aware of the current industry trends and is seeking to strengthen its international ties. Currently, many foreign airlines use EgyptAir facilities.
A few months ago a cabinet decree was issued allowing private Egyptian companies to run regular scheduled flights. These flights, however, must service routes not controlled by EgyptAir.
Many who believe that it will not have an immediate impact on their business have criticized the decree. "The step can only be effective if private firms develop greater corporate infrastructure. Unfortunately, such is not the case," Yehia El-Agati, Chairman of National Aviation, said in an interview with the Weekly.
The decree, according to El-Agati, presents a significant challenge to the national companies. Building profitable routes will be costly and take time. "To fly regularly with empty planes is to make huge losses," he said. In order to evade crippling losses an airline must rely on consistently busy routes. But these are already occupied by EgyptAir."
The private airlines have no access to the lucrative Hajj (Mecca pilgrimage route) market.
Every year, thousands of Egyptians make this spiritual trek, but often the religious experience is marred by transportation delays. The pilgrims are stranded at airports for hours before they are allowed to board the plane. The private carriers see this as a monopoly hardship that can be removed once they are allowed greater market access.
Some private companies have given up on the passenger business and shifted to cargo. Yet, the competition in this sector is stiff. "We face heavy competition from other regional companies -- especially Lebanon and Israel," said El-Agati. He explained that exorbitant landing and parking fees at Egyptian airports create unfavorable conditions.
"For example, the cost for transporting 40 tons of vegetables is almost $700. The same cargo can be transported at a much lower price from competing ports," he said.
Private airlines claim they are overburdened with fees, costs and taxes. "We pay LE21 departure tax for every passenger," said AMC's Saber. Last year his company paid LE6 million ($1.5 million) to cover these costs. "Private airlines abroad are granted these facilities by their governments. This uneven playing field makes competition almost impossible," he added. "To start an airline is a very costly matter. To keep it going is even costlier."
The Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority stipulates that in order for a company to begin regular flights, it must have LE100 million ($25 million) starting capital. Then, it must obtain an operating certificate.
"To be granted this certificate, the company must meet the criteria set by the Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority for maintenance facilities, operation facilities, storage space at airports and personnel," said Saber.
Costs in the airline industry are enormous. In daily operations, airlines must maintain a fleet of advanced aircraft. The training of highly qualified personnel is a continuous process. "Training a qualified pilot costs $100,000," said Saber and, to keep staff their pay must be consistent with international standards.
To compete effectively, private carriers must minimize these costs. Alliance systems have proven very effective. "There are different aspects for cooperation: standardize aircraft fleets, exchange maintenance equipment and expertise. If we do so, costs will be cut in half," said El-Agati. – (Albawaba-MEBG)

Trouble Booting
 Loungers
I hope some of you will understand what I am typing about, so here goes:
1) On Saturday, I went home and grabbed my laptop, and turned it on. It gave me a OS Not found message, and I did a CTRL+ALT+DEL, and booted again, normally.
2) I went to make a folder on one of my USB external drives, and BOOM!!! the system crashed.
3) I rebooted and it came up with a message that a file was missing or damaged, Windows 2000 could not start because the file is missing or corrupt winntsystem32configsystemced. Startup options for Windows 2000 press F8, you can attempt to repair...
I could not find any file called systemced in the path given, on 4 PCs running Windows 2000 fresh. Is that a file from the updates? I found some files with System in their name, in that path, and some are larger than 1.44 MB so I can't put them on floppies to copy them over. Any ideas?
I put the Win 2K CD in and booted from it, and got to the screen where I could say R for repair, but then it told me that my HD is not compatible with Win 2K ?
It is formatted as NTFS with the same CD I used to install it in the first place. I did install the updates from the Windows Update web site.
4) I pressed F8 and wanted to boot into safe mode, and I could not.
5) Tried to boot into command prompt, and I could not.
6) I made a 4-floppy set of Win 2000 startup disks, using MakeBoot from the Win2000 CD, and I was able to boot into Recovery Console. I ran CHKDSK c: /F with no results.
So, how can I repair what I have on my 60 GB hard drive, without destroying what I have on it?
If the Repair option did not work? What should I do now?
Thanks for any advise

OAKLAND -- The Warriors had five players in double-figures as they rallied from behind to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 96-85 on Saturday at Oracle Arena.
Point guard Stephen Curry and forward Carl Landry combined for 14 points in the fourth quarter to help Golden State (8-6) win for the fifth time in its last seven games. The Warriors now get four days off before three more home games.
Golden State is now 2-0 against Minnesota this season. Unlike when the teams met Nov. 16, the Timberwolves had All-Star power forward Kevin Love, bruising center Nikola Pekovic and backup guard J.J. Barea in the lineup.
Curry finished with 20 points and six assists. Landry had 18 points and nine rebounds off the bench. They led a 22-6 run to put the Timberwolves away.
The Warriors trailed 79-74 with just over 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. They got a boost from rookie forward Draymond Green, who scored consecutive layups. After a free throw by rookie forward Harrison Barnes tied the game, Landry gave the Warriors an 81-79 lead with a hook in the lane.
Curry then found Barnes for a fast-break dunk, then followed three possessions later with a 3-pointer that put Golden State ahead 86-79 inside of six minutes left.
A layup by Love stopped the Warriors' run at 12-0, but Golden State tacked on seven more, capped with another hook inside by Landry. The Warriors had their largest lead of the game, 93-81, with just over two minutes left.
Warriors guard Klay Thompson finished with 24 points. David Lee totaled 17 points, eight rebounds and four assists -- outdueling Love, who had 15 points on 6-of-20 shooting with 15 rebounds. Barnes added 10 points and 11 rebounds.
The pep in the step Golden State had in the fourth quarter contradicted the relatively listless way it played most of the game. The Warriors trailed 74-70 entering the fourth quarter.
The biggest problem was the Warriors offense. Golden State shot just 42.5 percent from the field through three quarters, including just 5 of 18 from 3-point range. Their 10 turnovers to that point helped Minnesota take 16 more shots than the Warriors the first 26 minutes.
The only Warriors who seemed to have it going were Lee and Thompson. Lee was 6 of 12 from the field with 15 points, matching Love blow-for-blow. Thompson had a game-high 24 points through three quarters despite missing seven of his eight attempts from 3-point range.
What kept the Warriors, who trailed by as much as 11, close to the Timberwolves was their ability to get to the line. Golden State was 19 of 22 from the free-throw line entering the fourth quarter and finished 24 for 29.
* Golden State officials said center Andrew Bogut will practice Monday. He hasn't played since Nov. 7 because of problems with his surgically repaired left ankle.
Bogut's return will be based on how he progresses in practice over the Warriors' three days off, or if he can even practice full tilt.
* Barnes submitted an entry for the dunk of the year. With just over two minutes left in the second quarter, Lee had the ball in the post. Barnes, from the perimeter, darted down the middle of the lane. He received a pass from Lee and took off, throwing down a one-hand tomahawk over Pekovic -- who had rotated over in time to defend, but Barnes powered through his block attempt.
Barnes took a moment to stare down Pekovic. It was certainly the most impressive dunk by a Warrior since guard Monta Ellis was traded last season.
* The Warriors entered the game fifth in the NBA in rebounding at 45.8 boards per game. They haven't averaged as many since they pulled down 46.7 per game in 2002-03.
A large part of that is Lee, averaging 12.5 rebounds over that span.

Not a single one of the Pokemon games?
List was probably set up by the same kind of people who blame WoW and CoD for kids going on a real life killing spree. (Or doing anything bad, really)
The Super Mario games also appealed to children and adults all over the planet, and I'll bet anything that the reason I've never even heard of The Oregon Trail until now is that I'm Scandinavian. It sounds VERY ''American only'' to me.
#4? N***a please.
It should not be up there.
PS. I was born in 1988.
I won't start taking these greatest games of all times list seriously for another 10 years. By then enough people who grew up playing REAL video games (on consuls and computers) will be the people making these.
At least I'm happy that Chrono Trigger made the list.
Call of Duty higher than Deus Ex? Yeah...No.
Nintendo 3DS Friend Code: 4527-7566-5852. PM if you add me.
Wheres Age of Empires 2?? STARCRAFT isn't on there yet Angry Birds is, and Starcraft is THE competitive computer game... CNN has no idea what they're talking about.
I guess I should be a little more clear: TIME/CNN did not rank the results. Neither did I. The readers of the article did. So if you're complaining about a game's position on the list, this is not the fault of the writers of the list. This is the fault of the thousands upon thousands of people who voted.
I personally am more interested on what is, and what is not, on the list. Some of you pointed out some really notable missing ones, such as Might and Magic and the Pokemon games. I also agree it feels more like a "most influential" than "greatest" at times, especially with regard to some of the older choices like Pong. In that regard, Pong has every right to be there, but I wouldn't call it a "great" game, just an important one.
Card game, war game, role playing game, strategy game, board game.... no video games in there.
Note to the whingers - the list isn't the list of the BEST video games, it is a list of the GREATEST video games. That is the ones with the greatest impact.
And as Schwarzkopf said, this is a list of the greatest games of all time, impact wise, not what is your favorite game/s to you. Of course some are suspect, but if you ignore the list of where they're ranked and go down the list of the games, you'll see that many of them did in deed have a huge impact in gaming, especially for there respective genre.

Don't agree with much of this, I dont think its even due to being subjective, its just a poor list all round.

I always laugh when any top <insert number> comes out and people jump all over it. Of course it's going to be different than your list. The only way it would be the same is through dumb luck or if you actually wrote the list. Just remember just because you didn't like a game that made the list or really liked a game that didn't make the list doesn't mean other feel the same way.
why is mass effect 3 no10?
There is some really good games on that list, but in my opinon, in the wrong order. There's also some extremely good games not on the list, and some other games I would call less than good on it. Oh well..

Dr. Karen Dunak published new book on the history of weddings in postwar America
Assistant Professor of History Dr. Karen Duank has just published a new book, As Long as We Both Shall Love: The White Wedding in Postwar America.
Dr. Dunak's book establishes that the evolution of the American white wedding emerges from our nation's tendency towards privacy and the individual, as well as the increasingly egalitarian relationships between men and women in the decades following World War II.
Blending cultural analysis of film, fiction and advertising, as well as personal views expressed in letters, diaries, essays and oral histories, Dr. Dunak engages ways in which the modern wedding emblemizes a diverse and consumerist culture and aims to reveal a continuing debate about the power of peer culture, media and the marketplace in America.
Dr. Dunak joined the faculty in 2010. She earned her bachelor's degree at American University and both her master's and doctoral degrees at Indiana University. As a historian, she specializes in post-World War II United States history, with a particular interest in topics related to women and gender, youth culture, media and celebrity.
Published by New York University Press, the book is available form Amazon and from the publisher at nyupress.org.

Plans to build a new bridge over the St. Croix River got another hearing on Capitol Hill Thursday.
Minnesota DFL Senator Amy Klobuchar co-sponsors a bill that would allow a new bridge to be built to replace the rusting and outdated Stillwater Lift Bridge over the St. Croix. She testified before a Senate Energy and Natural Resources subcommittee in favor of the bill.
Because the St. Croix River is protected under the federal Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, plans to replace the bridge must have congressional approval.
"Simply put, there is nearly unanimous agreement that the current bridge is completely inadequate," Klobuchar said.
Fellow Minnesota DFL Senator Al Franken sits on this committee, and he wasn't afraid to beg the other committee members, Senators Mark Udall of Colorado and Rand Paul of Kentucky, to support Klobuchar's bill.
"Colorado and Kentucky are just exquisite states and we'd appreciate a vote for the bridge," Franken said.
A good portion of the hearing focused on the process of getting an exemption from the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. It was similar to a hearing last spring on the House version of the bill sponsored by Minnesota Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann.
Stillwater Mayor Ken Harycki attended the hearing on his fourth trip to Washington in the past two years.
"And finally, note the bridge location. We think it's better to build a new crossing within the industrial part of the river next to a power plant, a sewer plant and a marina," Harycki said. "This part of the river is assuredly not scenic and not wild."
Opponents of the proposed four-lane bridge were also attended.
Stillwater resident Roger Tomten said a smaller, three lane bridge was a more economical option than a more expensive, freeway-style bridge.
"It will cost nearly $700 million," Tomten said. "Nearly $700 million when Congress is fiercly debating how to curtail our nation's spending.
The greatest obstacle to the bridge may not be opponents like Tomten or even the legal nuances of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Instead, it could be time.
MnDOT has set a deadline of September 30 to obtain congressional approval for the new bridge. Otherwise, the agency will direct the funds it had set aside for the bridge to other projects.
With Congress engaged in the debt ceiling debate, budget battles and a scheduled recess for most of August, getting a bill through both houses in the next two months could be difficult.
Klobuchar said she's spoken with Gov. Mark Dayton and hopes if Congress shows signs of progress, that he might be able to extend that September 30 deadline.

Genomics, Genetics & Epigenetics
Program Overview
Cancer is fundamentally a disease of disordered gene expression. Abnormal gene expression in cancer cells may be due to mutations within genes or closely linked DNA that regulates activity of those genes, deletions that remove various genes and gene regulatory sequences, amplification of genomic regions containing various genes, fusions of two genes by recombination between DNA sequences, or epigenetic changes - non-mutational modifications of DNA or of DNA-binding proteins that alter gene expression in a manner that can be transmitted to progeny cells over the course of multiple cell divisions. Furthermore, gene expression in cancer cells can be affected by perturbations in the machinery responsible for production or activity of proteins, such as systems that control the synthesis, modification, or degradation of proteins. If the changes regulate expression of other genes, as is often the case, there can be a large series of secondary effects on gene expression. It is the aggregate result of all these changes - multiple primary changes in gene expression plus the secondary changes, and beyond - that render a cell fully malignant.
The members of the Genomics, Genetics and Epigenetics Program study all aspects of gene alterations in cancer. These studies include the discovery of mutations in genes and DNA that cause cancer; analysis of genomic changes and their functional consequences on gene expression; characterization of mechanisms that control protein production from genes; epigenetics; protein structure; and the analysis of large scale genomic data. Some researchers focus on specific genes in individual types of cancers, whereas others are involved in analyzing large numbers of genes and their expression in cancers both at diagnosis and during progression of the disease. In practical terms, this research has implications for improved cancer diagnosis and prognostic assessment of tumors, therapeutic responsiveness of tumors, and pre-symptomatic screening for cancers, all through the discovery of changes in genes and their expression characteristic of those cancers. In addition, reversal or neutralization of the changes in gene expression offers attractive targets for the development of new anti-cancer drugs and therapeutic strategies.

The Yolo County Bar Association will commemorate the right to vote, and the longevity of its active members at this year's "Law Day" celebration, recognized nationwide by the American Bar Association on Thursday, May 1.
The YCBA will celebrate Law Day at the United Methodist Church's Community Hall at noon. A catered lunch will be provided and the cost is $25 per person.
The theme of this year's Law Day, as determined by the ABA, is "American Democracy and the Rule of Law: Why Every Vote Matters."
The YCBA has invited Freddie Oakley, the Yolo County Elections Officer, to inform local attorneys, judges, and guests about this topic. In addition, the local bar will hand out its first ever "Milestone Awards," recognizing Yolo County attorneys who have been practicing for more than 45 years, and remain active members of the bar. Recipients include Bill Donovan, Roger Gambatese, Charles Mack, and J. Toney.
This year's Law Day precedes by a month an exciting judicial election in Yolo County. For the first time in many years, there is an open seat for a Yolo County Superior Court Judge.
Judge Steven Mock announced in January that he would be retiring from the bench at the end of his term. Running for the position are Janene Beronio, John Brennan, Fredrick S. (Rick) Cohen, and Larenda Delaini
. The Yolo County Bar Association is a nonprofit organization comprised of local attorneys and judges. The organization hosts several events throughout the year, and meets every third Thursday at the Yolo County Law Library.

Indianapolis - Legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway announcer Tom Carnegie has died.
Eyewitness News has learned that Carnegie passed away at the age of 91. He served as the voice of the Speedway for more than 60 years, taking the job in 1946. He was hired by track owner Tony Hulman to announce the first race under Hulman's ownership.
"I go out there fat, dumb and happy, you know, and announce a little event and Tony Hulman and Wilbur Shaw come over and say, 'You want to work the 500?'," Carnegie said at a party for his 90th birthday in 2009. "I don't know what came out, but it was good enough. I think they were just too embarrassed to fire me, so I stayed there for 61 races."
He retired from the Speedway in 2006.
According to the IMS website, Carnegie was born Carl Kenagy on September 25, 1919. A manager at the Fort Wayne radio station where he worked changed his on-air name to Tom Carnegie.
Carnegie's link to Indianapolis sports history extended beyond the Brickyard. He was the announcer at Hinkle Fieldhouse when Milan High School won the 1954 state basketball championship on Bobby Plump's infamous shot, which became the basis for the movie "Hoosiers."

Other Name: XIAP antisense
Detailed Description:
Apoptotic induction in cancer cells is a sought after therapeutic goal. Most successful anticancer agents activate apoptosis pathways in the cancers they treat. Apoptotic pathways in cells appear to converge on a single family of enzymes, the caspases, which are proteases that dismantle the cell in an orderly, non-inflammatory fashion, resulting in cell death. The X-linked Inhibitor of Apoptosis (XIAP) is the only known cellular inhibitor of caspases, its over expression thereby blocking the principal means of apoptosis. A wide range of evidence indicates that cellular overexpression of members of the IAP family is a fundamental means by which many cancer cells evade death, even in the presence of strong extrinsic (death receptor-mediated) and intrinsic (mitochondria-mediated) apoptotic cues. The inhibition of cellular XIAP activity, specifically in cancer cells under stress and primed for apoptosis by chemotherapeutic agents, is viewed as a powerful means of tipping the balance towards cell death. In particular, XIAP has been shown to be overexpressed in lymphoma. AEG35156 is a second generation antisense which targets XIAP mRNA to lower XIAP levels and the apoptotic threshold of cancer cells, enhancing their sensitivity to intrinsic death and chemotherapy. AEG35156 has shown early evidence of activity in patients with advanced indolent B-cell lymphomas in Phase 1 trials and merits further evaluation in this disease.
