Asthma is an inflammatory condition of the lungs, characterized by narrowing of the airway passages. This disease is at least partially reversible if treated with appropriate medications.
Asthma, which is estimated to afflict over 9 million Americans, has many patterns of presentation and can occur at any age. Commonly experienced symptoms of asthma include:
Since other diseases can cause similar symptoms, it is always important to be examined by a physician.
Asthma may be caused or triggered by allergic and non-allergic factors. Allergic factors or challenges include:
Upon repeated exposure to these substances, the body forms allergic antibodies called IgE, directed toward specific allergens. An important part of evaluating allergic asthma includes skin testing to allergens to determine if any allergic antibodies are responsible for aggravating symptoms of asthma. Skin tests are always interpreted in light of the patient's history, since falsely positive tests occasionally occur.
Non-allergic factors that can trigger asthma include:
Patients may have a combination of allergic and non-allergic asthma. Stress and anxiety can make both forms of this disease worse.
There are some patients who develop allergic asthma after exposure to certain proteins and chemicals in their work environment. Some workers develop asthma in the workplace after exposure to irritating fumes.
Two principles guide asthma treatment:
When possible, factors which cause asthma to flare up should be identified and avoided if at all possible. It is very important that patients with asthma learn to recognize the early warning signs and symptoms of asthma attacks, and take appropriate actions before the disease gets worse. Patients whose symptoms are frequent (more than twice a month) and/or who have evidence of airway obstruction should take anti-inflammatory asthma medications on a regular basis. When a treatment program is recommended, it is very important that the physician's instructions be followed in order to get the most relief and best control of asthma symptoms.
If asthma should worsen in the future for whatever reason, it is very important to call a physician immediately for advice regarding required changes in your treatment. When these flares of asthma are treated early, severe asthma attacks, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations can usually be avoided.
If managed and treated properly, the vast majority of individuals with asthma can lead normal, active, and productive lives.

Calming and gladdening mind/body seems like lie.
There was one time, when i did not know what is Buddhism and i was just practicing meditation after reading some books by Osho about ego/meditation. I reached a state when i could completely bliss-out after taking few breaths, while the whole technique for me was just trying to clear mind of any taught, no breath, no body, no memories, nothing. And it worked, producing calm, joy, ecstasy and liberation. Then one time i was doing my meditation as usual and entered a state, where i 'lost' my body and my mind rapidly started to 'refuse' any kind of taught, while experiencing/seeing some (extremely liberating/euphoric) weirdness at the same time, i freaked out because i taught i was dead, could find my body, could not think, mind was refusing to form any kind of complete taught, like every taught was being silenced and cut off before completing. So after that happened, i felt very calm and joyful for about 2 weeks, my view changed, and i was still able to reach complete bliss seemingly on-demand, whenever i please - just in time it takes to take few breaths, while clearing mind of all taught.
After those 2 weeks passed, I'm unable to reach such calmness with practice - it's either happening very rarely (probably when I'm not trying to reach it - that's the whole problem) or its not happening at all. So - calming and gladdening mind does not work for me - its a lie - when i try to calm or gladden my mind, i see that I'm lying to myself and forcing myself - if the mind is not calm, its not calm and i can see the not-calmness, but i can't really actively calm it 'by hand'.
I read things like 'focus on joy'. When i do that - i see 'focusing on joy' instead of actual joy. When i try to calm my mind - my mind thinks 'you are calming your mind', not becomes more calm. When i try to 'focus on joy' i dont feel joy - i feel immediate surroundings, like how my body feels, breath, bird outside of window, and the fact that I'm focusing on joy and 'you are meditating/sitting/breathing/hearing/etc', not joy.

Join an Archaeological Adventure
Archaeology students have a unique opportunity this spring to explore the world of maroons—African Americans who disappeared into the Great Dismal Swamp to escape slavery and find a life of self-sufficiency and freedom.
The Fifth Annual American University Archaeology Field School offers five weeks of hands-on, sometimes physically challenging work under the direction of one of the world's leading authorities on historical maroon communities in what is now the United States, Professor Daniel Sayers of AU's Department of Anthropology.
The field school, which can earn students from AU and other universities 3 or 6 credits, runs May 13 to June 17 at the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, a 190-square-mile site that straddles northeastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia.
"It's such an amazing opportunity," says Sayers, who in addition to past field schools also conducted dissertation research in the swamp from 2003 to 2006. "You dig down that far [a couple inches] and you're looking at the 1600s."
Students can expect expert training in such areas as:
- archaeological surveying and excavation
- research design development
- laboratory dating and soil sampling techniques
- geophysical survey methods to determine what's under the soil
Past research has uncovered a community that learned to survive in a place others thought uninhabitable. Apparently mundane signs and objects—a "stain" left by now rotted away cabins or long-buried fire pits, bits of glass cleverly repurposed into tools—are artifacts discovered on past field schools that provide a glimpse into the world of the maroons.
Few mass-produced objects, other than these bits of glass and some remnants of the ubiquitous clay tobacco pipes of the era, are buried in the swamp.
"There's very little representation of outside world stuff, and a lot of what we're finding is small," says Sayers. "What we're seeing is a direct reflection of this minimal contact, a shadow image of what's going on. They might be bringing in a glass bottle, say. When the bottle breaks, they don't just pitch it. They say, 'Now how can I use it?'"
Those pieces may have become bits of tools for five or 10 other people.
Perhaps most surprising of all was the discovery of artifacts that date back thousands of years, stone objects in the classic arrowhead shape, discovered by the maroons and reshaped into tools for their use. So a seventeenth- or eighteenth-century maroon might find an arrowhead after its creation by indigenous people who lived in the swamp thousands of years before him and turn its edge into a knife.
"They're going out there saying, 'Forget that world outside. We're going to use what the swamp offers us.' And one of the things is this ancient stuff that ancient people brought in."
The Dismal Swamp maroons, subject of public television documentaries and news articles, will be featured in a display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, the museum's founding director, AU alumnus Lonnie G. Bunch III, CAS/BA '74, MA '76, noted in a New York Times article.
Solving a mystery
One of the great mysteries of the Great Dismal Swamp maroons is why their community shrank considerably by 1800.
Solving that mystery, and discovering the results of that shrinkage, will be the focus of Sayers and the archaeology students who join him this spring. Some clues have turned up in recent digs: discovery of the first iron nail, lead shot, bits of gun flint—signs of increased contact with the outside world.
Sayers speculates that the use of slave labor in the swamp during the 1800s to dig canals and for logging led to the shrinkage of maroon habitations, which may have numbered 1,000 or more in the years before the Great Dismal Swamp shrank to a tenth of its original size.
"In the Western European mindset, folks saw this as desolate wasteland," Sayers says. "No one could possibly live there. So there's sort of a blind spot in the system." The maroons' creating a life of freedom "involved no violence; they simply walked away from it because they knew how to read the landscape" and figured out how to survive.
An application and information on the field school is available online. Applications are due by April 1.

County star Sam Foley signs for Yeovil
4:06pm Tuesday 29th May 2012
4:06pm Tuesday 29th May 2012
FANS' favourite Sam Foley has left Newport County to sign for League One Yeovil Town.
The 25-year-old is out of contract this summer and played his last game for the Exiles in the FA Trophy final defeat to York City at Wembley.
County have not commented on Foley's departure but a statement released on the Yeovil Town website confirmed the news this afternoon.
The statement reads: "Yeovil Town Football Club can confirm that they have agreed to sign attacker Sam Foley on a one year deal on July 1st which will be reviewed at Christmas.
"The 25-year-old Irishman joins the Glovers from Blue Square Premier side Newport County for whom he hit thirty goals in the past two seasons though half of his games have been as a substitute.
"Sam began his career at Cheltenham Town as a trainee before moving to Kidderminster before joining the BSP side in August 2010. He represented his country, Republic of Ireland, at under-18 level."
Manager Gary Johnson, speaking to www.ytfc.net said "Sam won't be a familiar name to Yeovil supporters but he has had two great seasons of success with Newport in the non league as his nine minute clip of goals on YouTube will show you.
"We beat several other league clubs to his signature and I am very hopeful Sam will keep on improving."

|Naval Architect Or Stylist?
should design your next boat?
By George L. Petrie — May 2001
Aesthetics are very important to most yacht owners, and the perception
may be that a stylist will be more creative or artistic in sculpting the
exterior shape. Espinosa claims that about 80 percent of his clients seek
him out because they like the "look" he is able to create. But he attributes
his success as a stylist to his formal education as a building architect,
which he says gave him a keen appreciation for the crucial relationship
between external form and internal function. For example, window placement
is a key element of exterior styling that is highly constrained by interior
functionality; people need to be able to see out without having to stoop
or stretch.

I agree with the others--what a wonderful gift you are giving for your daughters, and how nice was it for the adoptive parents to let you choose their names! From what I've heard, that's not at all very common. And you have wonderful taste in names! I like Julia, Lila, Iris, Leonie, Elisa, and Tess(a). I prefer just Tess to Tessa, but Tessa is lovely, too. I think Julia and Lila, Julia and Iris, Leonie and Tessa, and Julia and Elisa would make lovely pairings. I think Julia and Lila are my favorites, though. Good luck!Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

Congratulations, and how brave of you to make this difficult choice! I'm sure your little girls will be well-loved and cherished by their new parents.
As Cecelia and Theodora are long and classic, I'd stay in a similar style for the first names, with shorter names, no more than two syllables. I also wouldn't have them end in -a, just so you don't end up with an overly melodic combination.
Some I like:
Alice Theodora
Evie Theodora
Iris Theodora
Agnes Theodora
Hazel Theodora
Lucy Theodora
Ruby Cecelia
Ivy Cecelia
Mabel Cecelia
Phoebe Cecelia
Adele Cecelia
Charlotte Cecelia
My favorite pairs are:
Lucy Theodora and Charlotte Cecelia - Lucy and Charlotte are the most commonplace, but they are still so charming and sweet.
Iris Theodore and Phoebe Cecelia - Phoebe and Iris fit together very well as sisters.
Evie Theodore and Adele Cecelia - Evie and Adele feel quirky, vintage, and a little Brit-hip.
Alice Theodora and Ruby Cecelia - Alice and Ruby are feminine and dainty and playful.
Agnes Theodora and Mabel Cecelia - Agnes and Mabel, or Aggie and Mae, are perhaps the most vintage, and most suited to Theodora/Cecelia.
Hazel Theodora and Ivy Cecelia - Love this! Hazel and Ivy are the most themed, but also very nice with the middle names.
Good luck!

Commencement exercises feature address by Desiree Caldwell, executive director of the Concord Museum, with baccalaureate sermon by Dr. Robert M. Warner, sixth archivist of the United States
At Muskingum College's commencement held May 6, 307 students received their undergraduate degrees and heard Desiree Caldwell deliver the commencement address, titled Learning for a Lifetime.
The college conferred an honorary doctor of humane letters to Ms. Caldwell in recognition of her life's work and achievements.
As executive director of the Concord Museum since 1996, Ms. Caldwell oversees the 120-year old home of one of the oldest and best-documented collections of Americana. The 1775 Paul Revere Lantern, the desk where Henry David Thoreau wrote Walden and Civil Disobedience, and Ralph Waldo Emerson's study are a few of the treasures that educate visitors from around the world. During her tenure, she has doubled the museum's operating budget, tripled its endowments, and acquired more than 300 additional objects for the collection.
She also worked at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, where her exhibition credits include Monet in the 90s – one of the most successful and well-attended events in the institution's history – and retrospectives of da Vinci, Goya, Rubens, Ansel Adams, Impressionism, Andean Textiles, and Japanese Painting. She developed extensive Japanese partnerships and helped create the joint Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts in Nagoya, Japan.
She earned her bachelor of arts from Brown University, her master of arts from the University of Delaware, and her master of business administration from Harvard University. Her early career encompassed curatorial work at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and the Rhode Island School of Design Museum, and financial auditing and marketing with Coopers & Lybrand and the Gillette Company.
Ms. Caldwell's civic contributions are wide ranging, through her service as a trustee and board member of organizations such as Historic New England, Thoreau Farm Trust, Concord Chamber Music Society, Concord Chamber of Commerce and Town of Concord Tourism Committee, Antiquities America.Com, and the Society of Winterthur Fellows.
In her remarks to the graduating class, Muskingum College President Anne C. Steele said, "Today is your day. You have worked hard, with dedication and purpose. You follow extraordinary alumni, and now become a part of the great legacy of Muskingum College."
In her address, Ms. Caldwell told the graduates and those assembled, "To be truly alive is to be a life-long learner. Throughout your lives, learn from your past, your observations and intuition, and from the world around you. The journey of your life is much more important than your ultimate destination."
Alainna M. Amicone '06 was chosen by her fellow students to represent the graduating class. The charges to the graduating class were presented by Associate Professor of Business Dr. Gary E. Golden and Harold W. Burlingame, alumnus and chair of the Board of Trustees.
Also during the service, President Steele recognized the retirement of Professor of Physical and Health Education and former head men's basketball coach Dr. James Burson Dr. Burson joined the faculty at the college in 1964, after earning his bachelor's degree at Muskingum, and then earned both his master's and doctoral degrees from The Ohio State University.
The baccalaureate service was held at 10:00 a.m. Dr. Robert M. Warner, a 1949 alumnus of the college and former archivist of the United States, delivered the sermon, titled Life More Abundant. In it, he referred to an inscription that appears on the exterior of the National Archive he headed – "The past is prologue to the future." He told the graduates, "Your life at Muskingum has given you a life more abundant – just as it says in the alma mater. Your four years here are but a prologue of the rest of your life. Today is the beginning of what you will do, not the end of what you've done."
From 1980-1985, Dr. Warner served as the Sixth Archivist of the United States – the guardian of such national treasures as the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. His efforts to ensure that the Archives operate freely from partisan concerns culminated with Congress' creation of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in 1984. In 2005, he was honored with the naming of NARA's Robert M. Warner Research Center on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Dr. Warner has a distinguished legacy of leadership and public service, as an educator and archivist charged with preserving our nation's documentary heritage.
Following his graduation from Muskingum, Dr. Warner went on to earn his Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Michigan.
His academic career at the University of Michigan has encompassed posts as Professor of History, Professor of Library Science, Director of the Michigan Historical Collections, Dean of the School of Information, and currently Dean Emeritus and University Historian. He brought the Michigan Historical Collections to national prominence by securing the papers of United States President Gerald R. Ford and overseeing the creation of the Ford Presidential Library.
Dr. Warner's national role in shaping the emerging archival profession included service as a member of the Board of Visitors for the School of Library Science at Case Western Reserve University, the Board of Visitors at the Maxwell School of Government at Syracuse University, and the Board of Trustees of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
He holds honorary doctorates from Muskingum College, Westminster College, and DePaul University. In 1990, he received the Muskingum College Alumni Distinguished Service Award.

"This is a passion of mine. My family has a cemetery in Ohio and we maintain it. I want to feel it's a good place. It's important as a society," said Donna Holland of IPFW's sociology department, who with students in her "family" class is trying to foster similar awareness in Allen County, where many of the more than 150 cemeteries and burial sites have succumbed to age, vandals or oblivion.
And so, earlier this week, Holland and some of her students were doing what they could to spruce up a cemetery that could be close to two centuries old but is today slowly being surrounded by the sort of homes and other development that surely would have amazed the people buried there.
It's a process that will be repeated at other cemeteries and, if Holland and her students have anything to say about it, will continue with the community's help long after the class is over.
"There's just been so much vandalism. It's sad," said student Bekah Collins.
"To see the headstones, it's heartbreaking," agreed Ivy Teders."
Restoration of those tipped, weathered or broken markers isn't part of the student's mission. That would take require special expertise and money and could be subject to state legal guidelines. So Holland and her helpers are concentrating on the low-hanging fruit, such as the removal of debris, pruning of overgrown trees and brush and general groundskeeping. They're hoping the public and businesses will want to help, and have already received support from a few firms, including Fort Wayne Caterpillar and Summit City Landscaping.
As an educational exercise, the project represents the best of two worlds, providing both a real-world benefit and academic awareness. People who want to understand families could do much worse than to explore a cemetery.
As a matter of law, however, maintenance of abandoned cemeteries falls to the township trustees. But because their usually meager budgets are seldom equal to the challenge, a certain degree of benign neglect has too often become the rule, not the exception.
But the students' task would be even more difficult had others not provide inspiration and guidance. Back in 2006, for example, the Allen County Commissioners spent $20,000 to install a culvert over a drainage ditch so volunteers could restore Brown family cemetery south of Monroeville. The Allen County Public Library's vaunted genealogy department has provided valuable insight on cemeteries developed by families, long-folded church congregations and other organizations. And in 2008 the Mary Penrose Wayne Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution began the ambitious project of documenting the county's cemeteries and the more than 165,000 headstones. They expect to complete the work this year.
We properly show more concern for the living than the dead, who are blissfully immune to the problems that afflict the rest of us. But as student Sarah Pinkston properly noted, the cemetery project is intended precisely for those who are able to appreciate it: descendents, people interested in community or family history and even the merely curious.
I understood that sentiment better after walking down the long, muddy lane leading from Aboite Road into Kelsey Cemetery. There, stuck into the soggy, squishy ground around a tombstone rendered nearly unreadable by 150 years of rain and wind, were several small American flags.
At least a few people, it seems, still remember Allen County's forgotten cemeteries and the people resting in them. The remaining epidemic of amnesia, however, should provide Holland's students a fertile learning opportunity.

With speculation increasing that the 34-year-old will not be offered a new contract at Stamford Bridge, the Blues captain has called for the club to honour his team-mate
The club captain was speaking via his personal Webstagram account in which he described himself as being "devastated".
Terry wrote: "Devastated is an understatement. We should retire the number 8 shirt in honour of Lamps."
|Frank Lampard is 7/4 to score anytime against Southampton with bet365
The 32-year-old also paid tribute to his team-mate with a message, in hashtag form, that read: "#theheartbeat #hero #legend #hero #goalmachine #friend #ktbffh [keep the blue flag flying high] #cfc #chelsea."
Despite the pleas of numerous Chelsea fans, it looks as though the veteran midfielder will not be offered a new contract when his current one ends at the end of the season.
Lampard has spent 12 years at Stamford Bridge since joining from West Ham in 2001 and has won every major trophy with the club.
Terry attempted to play down the significance of his comments later in the day, writing: "I have seen Frank's agent's quotes on sky yesterday. That's all I'm going on - nothing more."
Those comments, which had seen the player's representative reportedly say Lampard would not be at Chelsea for the 2013-14, have since been denied by the player's agent.

WOW! it's like he was doing so well and then all of the sudden at his best it knocks him back down. I feel so bad for him, I know he is tired of fighting this. I just don't know what to say to him other than that I love him and support him and will be there for him ever step of the way. I just can't bear to think that I could loose him. It is not an option for us.

Jordania (Los Países del Mundo) : SPANISH edition. Jordan is one of the oldest countries in the world. It is a land where geology and the history of mankind have left important, and in some respects still mysterious, traces. The nomadic Bedouins, custodians of ancient traditions which the rest of the Arab world has been unable to preserve, are the soul of this intriguing country, with its harsh landscapes and gentle nature. In the shadow of their black tents they still recount the ancient tales of the desert, all about djinns, the mischievous, elusive imps which a generous, tolerant Islam has allowed to survive in popular beliefs. This country, finally at peace after decades of war, precarious borders and waves of refugees flooding in from neighbouring countries, which faces a multitude of problems but enjoys great prestige, now takes its place on the new Middle Eastern scene, ready to construct a future worthy of its noble, incredible past.

New Kensington art gallery features area high school students' work
New Kensington art gallery features area high school students' work
Social cause is the theme of the annual high school student art exhibit, March 3 to 30, in the Art Gallery at Penn State New Kensington.
The show, "Arts Alive," is sponsored by the Alle-Kiski Arts Consortium, a group of local educators dedicated to bringing performing and visual arts to area students. Prissy Pakulski, visual arts educator at Valley High School in the New Kensington-Arnold School District, is the coordinator of the event.
"The art exhibit is a wonderful cooperative experience for the art students in the districts," said Pakulski, a visual artist who previously has shown her work at the campus. "The gallery at Penn State New Kensington produces an ambiance of professionalism, and students get a real gallery exhibition experience."
Artwork by students from five area high schools: Highlands, Valley, Deer Lakes, Kiski Area and St. Joseph's; is featured in the show. The theme is interwoven in each school's display.
"The exhibit is an opportunity for the student artist to complete the artistic creative experience by running the full circle of creation to display," said Pakulski, who works in stained glass. "It is a yearlong experience in the visual arts."
More than 500 two- and three-dimensional pieces, including paintings, drawings, sculpture and jewelry, will be hung salon-style, a European technique that dates back to the 17th century. Salon-style features a single exhibition room with artwork covering all the walls in a collage-like pattern.
"The salon style furthers the uniqueness of the young emerging artists," Pakulski said. "In addition, easels and pedestals will further showcase the creations."
A reception for the artists is set from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, March 24, in the art gallery. The exhibit, reception and performances are free to the public. The gallery is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays and noon to 5 p.m. on the weekends.

AN ELECTRICITY firm will consider claims for compensation from businesses in Old Town who lost their busiest trading day of the week when a power cut left them in the dark throughout Saturday.
At around 6.24am, electricity to areas of Bath Road, Victoria Road and Prospect Place was lost, and engineers were unable to identify and repair the problem until the late afternoon.
A spokesman for Scottish and Southern Electricity said: "The fault occurred just before 6.30am and engineers were on site from 7.30am to locate the fault and restore supplies.
"We tried to replace the fuses at local substations but they have tripped every time we changed them so we we then had to identify the underground cable fault.
"Once the affected section had been identified it was necessary to excavate the cable to get the power back on. That work was completed at 9.35pm.
"We would like to apologise to any customers affected.
"Very often with faults on a network we are able to re-route supplies to restore power to customers affected by using the flexibility in the network. That allows us to get power back on, then complete repairs where lengthy work is needed.
"Because this fault occurred on a local network the only way was to complete the full job and locate the fault at the junction of Devizes Road, which unfortunately took most of the day.
"We will look at any compensation claims on their merits and we would encourage any customers affected to get in touch on 0800 980 1395.
"We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused."
Local businesses were not impressed and could not understand why the problem took so long to rectify.
"This means the whole day has gone," said Ilpa Patel, of Victoria News, which was operating in candlelight.
"People want to play the Lottery on Saturday but the machine is not working so they just walk away.
"We rang the electric company first thing in the morning and they said it should be back on by noon, but then it seemed it was a major problem and we would not get it back on until we were due to close.
"They said it will not be until after 5pm.
"We can't even get any compensation for the lost earnings because they said the power has to be off for more than 18 hours before we can claim. They kept updating us every two to three hours but they said there was nothing they could do to speed the process along.
"The customers were very understanding but most had to leave. We have been writing down the takings and separating the VAT and non-VAT products so that we can at least keep selling cigarettes and newspapers. We will have to tally it all up at the end of the day.
"Understandably we haven't been very busy."
Victoria News later bought their own generator for £150 to keep their fridges running until the power returned.
Don Vigilio, of Vigilio's barbershop, stayed at work throughout the morning before giving up and closing his doors.
"I had to pack it in," he said. "I thought it was only going to last two or three hours so I was just standing in my shop turning people away and telling them to come back this afternoon.
"I had been waiting since 8am, and customers kept coming back and just hoping the power was back on. I just don't understand why it took such a long time. There should be some back-up for emergencies.
"All I have been doing is apologising to customers and I shouldn't have to. They have not been in contact with me and would not tell me what the problem was.
"Saturday is the busiest day of the week and that is gone now."

Course Description
The Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA) of 2010 ("Biosimilar Act") serves as FDA's current framework for biosimilars, but there is a great of deal of confusion surrounding this legislation and regulatory pathways for approval.
Outside the US, the global market has already evolved. The European Medicine Agency (EMA) has approved several biosimilar products to date including life-saving therapies that treat psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic kidney failure. Its guidelines offer an excellent model for comparison.
What can we learn from what has worked and what hasn't?
This 90-minute online course will give you an inside look at changing regulations, approvals, uncertainties, and opportunities to shed light on how your biopharmaceutical business should best adapt its approach. Examples of successful and unsuccessful submissions will be discussed, as well as major differences between US and EMA regulations and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines.
By attending this interactive course, you will learn:
This course will be beneficial to anyone working in biosimilar development that needs an understanding of the current and expected regulatory landscape. Personnel in regulatory affairs, R&D, quality, and compliance will find this course particularly useful.

Detailed Description:
The HIV pandemic continues with an estimated 13,000 new infections each day, the vast majority of which are acquired through heterosexual intercourse. Although consistent and correct use of condoms by men remains the most effective form of protection from heterosexually acquired HIV, women are not always able to negotiate condom use. An effective prophylactic vaccine remains a key objective, but development is slow because of virus variability and difficulty in determining the immunological correlates of protection. Vaginal microbicides are being developed in response to the urgent need for an HIV prevention method that women can control. Licensed spermicides containing nonoxynol-9 (N-9), which has potent anti-HIV activity in vitro, were the first products to be investigated as potential microbicides. However, the association of N-9 and other products belonging to this class (surfactants) with genital epithelial disruption, histologically determined genital inflammation, and reduction in populations of vaginal lactobacilli led to concerns that their use could enhance the risk of HIV transmission. Early Phase 3 studies of N-9 products yielded conflicting results, but more recently, a multicenter randomized placebo-controlled trial of a low dose N-9 formulation demonstrated an increased incidence of HIV infection in the N-9 group compared to placebo. These findings have intensified efforts to develop agents with a more favorable toxicity profile. At least four of these have entered trials to assess effectiveness in preventing vaginally acquired HIV infection: Buffer Gel, Carraguard, cellulose sulfate and PRO 2000/5 Gel. Protocol MDP 301 describes a randomized placebo-controlled trial design to explore the safety and efficacy of two concentrations of PRO 2000/5 Gel.
Participant recruitment and follow-up is complete. Between October 2005 and August 2008, 9404 eligible, sexually active, HIV-uninfected women were enrolled at six or more sites in Africa. Up until February 2008, participants were randomly assigned to 0.5% or 2% PRO 2000/5 Gel treatment arms or a placebo gel arm. Following a recommendation by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee that the 2% PRO2000/5 Gel treatment arm should not continue as there was no more than a small chance of demonstrating benefit, participants enrolled after February 13, 2008 were randomly assigned to the 0.5% PRO 2000/5 gel treatment arm or placebo arm. Participants were instructed to apply a single dose of study gel 1 hour or less before every act of vaginal intercourse using a single-use pre-filled applicator. Participants also receive risk-reduction counseling and condoms, and STD testing. Most study participants were followed for 12 months. A cohort of sero-discordant couples enrolled in Uganda was followed for up to 24 months.
The primary efficacy outcome measure is acquisition of HIV infection at the 12 month time point. Secondary outcomes include measures of HIV infection at the 6, 9 and more than 12 month time points, infection by HSV-2, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, and adverse events.

Introducing the 2012 Indianapolis Eagles
Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
Also, not to count our chickens yet, but Jerry Hughes has apparently had a really good camp. He's the guy I expect the scheme change to benefit the most. He can't get it done this year he'll officially be a washout.
I am a bit eager to see how our 2 new LB's from the Eagles will fit the 3-4 scheme. Both are young and if one can fill a void and the other be a descent special teams guy and a back-up then it is a winning situation. Hopefully we will see a little more of this action with bringing in new blood, just not more eagles.
Im thinking the LB core will be Freeney Conner Angerer and Mathis. Dont see either of the new LBs being anything beside injury replacements/STers
Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
Thats what Im hoping for.
I thought Conner did a nice job last year and I dont see him losing his job.
Stop quoting people I have on ignore!

Luck's presence re-energizes Colts
By John Clayton
INDIANAPOLIS -- The first thing you notice about the new Indianapolis Colts is the energy.
Owner Jim Irsay has reinvented his organization since releasing Peyton Manning. He has a new coach: Chuck Pagano. He has a new general manager: Ryan Grigson. Gone is the Cover 2 defense, replaced by a 3-4 scheme similar to the ones run in Pittsburgh and Baltimore.
The energizer, though, is Andrew Luck. There is no replacement for a future Hall of Fame quarterback like Manning. Ask the Dolphins, Bills and others who have tried to manufacture offense after departures of great quarterbacks. The Colts' disastrous 2011 season allowed Luck to fall into Lucas Oil Stadium.
You also see the extra energy from the veteran defenders. Without Manning, the Colts had no hope last season, and their defense sagged. Quarterback Curtis Painter couldn't generate any offense, so the defense felt as though it were pedaling a stationary bike. Seeing Luck revitalizes not only the defense but also the fan base.
Here are my five observations from Colts training camp.
1. Don't be modest about Luck's statistics: When the Colts drafted tight ends Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen, my first visions of the Colts' offense in 2012 were conservative. Going to a two-tight end running offense for a rookie quarterback is smart. From what you see on the field at Anderson University, it's not out of question for Luck to throw between 3,500 and 4,000 yards.
While they could play conservatively on offense, the Colts have thrown open the playbook to Andrew Luck.
As pass-catchers, the Colts should be better than anticipated, and Luck is as billed. He has the look of being the most complete quarterback talent to enter in the NFL in decades. He makes all the throws. He's mature beyond his years. He's the real deal. And the Colts have weapons. Peyton Manning entered the NFL in 1998 with Marshall Faulk at halfback, Marvin Harrison at receiver, Ken Dilger at tight end and Adam Meadows and Tarik Glenn at tackles. He threw for 3,739 yards in a season the Colts went 3-13. To give Luck dependable targets, the Colts retained Reggie Wayne and Austin Collie. Third-round selection T.Y. Hilton is in development. The surprise in camp is fifth-year veteran Donnie Avery, who could emerge as a deep threat.
2. The Colts made the right hire for offensive coordinator in Bruce Arians: Peyton Manning helped turn the NFL into more of a quarterback-driven league, but Arians' role in this transition can't be underestimated. Behind the scenes, Arians played a big part in developing some of the top quarterbacks. He was Manning's first quarterbacks coach, did good things with Tim Couch in Cleveland and developed Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh. He sees the skills of all three of those quarterbacks in Luck.
Arians has 14 years of experience working with first-round quarterbacks, and he has a chip on his shoulder after the Steelers let him go after the season. What he brings from the Steelers is the ability to develop unknown receivers within his scheme to work with great quarterbacks. A couple of years ago, no one had heard of Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown or Emmanuel Sanders. He brings the vision of those Pittsburgh success stories to Indianapolis. Avery, in Arians' eyes, could become his Wallace. In time, Hilton could become his Brown or Sanders. Arians didn't hold anything back in presenting his offense to Luck. He threw the entire playbook at him, hoping to see what works and what doesn't. Arians won't be calling 40 passes a game for Luck, but he'll try to make sure he can complete 20 a game.
3. Job changes for Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney: It's strange seeing the league's best pass-rushing defensive ends at linebacker, but Pagano came from Baltimore and is installing the 3-4. Here's the rationale: Under Tony Dungy, the Colts built a defense that worked with the lead. Manning put up seven consecutive seasons of 12-plus wins and was a master of setting up victories in the fourth quarter. Working with the lead, Freeney and Mathis were expected to close out games with sacks, turnovers and stops. Minus Manning, the Colts don't figure to be working with the lead, and Pagano has had to figure a way to augment the changing personnel.
The 3-4 gives Pagano the chance to be creative with where he lines up defenders to confuse offenses. Because more teams are using three- and four-receiver sets, Freeney and Mathis figure to put a hand on the ground and rush from defensive end positions in sub packages more than 50 percent of the time. Freeney and Mathis have a great chance to pick up sacks at Lucas Oil Stadium. The crowd can be loud, and the home schedule features a slew of young quarterbacks -- Christian Ponder, Blaine Gabbert, Brandon Weeden, possibly Jake Locker and maybe Ryan Tannehill late in the season.
4. Fleener and Allen have been impressive: The tight end combination of Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen isn't anything like the Patriots' tandem of Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, but the Colts' duo is an impressive pair. Fleener is the classic tight end: a tall, angular pass-catcher who can work the middle of the field and be a favorite target of his former college teammate, Luck. In some ways, Allen looks more impressive even though he was drafted a round later than Fleener, a second-round choice. Allen is a big athlete who can move well in addition to being a good blocker. He has a little bit of a Jermichael Finley look to him.
5. Study the rosters of the Ravens and Eagles: Pagano comes from Baltimore. Grigson comes from Philadelphia. The Colts have depth problems at linebacker and in the secondary. Many of those holes will be filled by players cut or traded by the Eagles and Ravens. Pagano has already brought in defensive end Cory Redding and safety Tom Zbikowski. On Thursday, the Colts traded cornerback Kevin Thomas and a conditional seventh-round choice to get Moise Fokou and Greg Lloyd. The next moves will be at cornerback. Jerraud Powers is their best corner. Justin King and Cassius Vaughnare their next two. Both the Ravens and Eagles are deep at corner. Expect some to be with the Colts, who have the top waiver-wire-claiming clout.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
So far, I've been impressed with Grigson, Pagano & Co. Of course, we need to see the team on the field in preseason and, more importantly how the regular season progresses. Taking nothing from PM's greatness, but the program as a whole needed refreshing and energy. At least we know Pagano, Arians, et al are bringing that.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
-Emiliano Zapata
I did read it. I hope he proves to be correct...... ...
I didn't know the Colts signed Kris Adams by far my favorite Bear in camp last year. I was pissed when we cut him mid season off the PS he was much better than a few players we kept. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes one of Luck's favorite target he makes a ton of tough catches. I hope he sticks he deserves it especially with his killer camp last year. I think the Bears would of liked to keep him but $$ wise they couldn't.

FOR most children half-term is a chance to take a break from learning.
But several children enjoyed a hands-on lesson in bread baking at Winchester City Mill last Wednesday (Feb 20).
Miller Robert Goodwin showed the children how the mill works and each step involved in the bread-making process.
It is a rare example of a working urban corn mill, powered by the fast-flowing River Itchen.
The mill has been on site since 1743, where it remained in use until the early 20th Century.
It was then taken over by The National Trust and resumed grinding flower in March 2004.
Last year it attracted more than 40,000 visitors with the mill crediting the boom to TV-inspired home baking and interest in local food.
